I. FLYING CLOUD AIRPORT
A. Management Audit of Final Agreement Between Metropolitan Airports
Commission and City of Eden Prairie
Senior Planner Scott Kipp said the management audit was initiated by City of
Eden Prairie staff to evaluate how MAC and the City are progressing in
implementation of the Final Agreement,which was approved by MAC and the
City in December 2002. The audit includes responses submitted from both the
City and MAC. Kipp summarized the audit findings as follows:
Article 2—Conditions Precedent.
Both the City and MAC are in compliance.
Article 3—MAC Commitments and Representations.
MAC is in compliance;however, continued efforts may be warranted in seeking
letters of intent from other airport users who base at the airport. Kipp
acknowledged this would not be an easy task, since the airport has many tenants.
Article 4—EP Commitments and Representations.
The City is in compliance. Kipp noted the City submitted comments relative to
environmental concerns on the Final EIS.
City Council Workshop
November 1, 2005—page 2
Article 5—Third Party Challenges.
Kipp said the City is aware of a Northwest Airlines challenge to the FAA
regarding revenue diversion by MAC. It is Kipp's understanding that the issue is
currently at the FAA, and that FAA has asked MAC to get together with NWA to
resolve the issue. Tim Anderson said there are actually two outstanding issues.
The first is the NWA lawsuit regarding MAC's "failure to make its reliever
airports self-sufficient." Anderson said this issue is on hold pending the outcomes
of MAC's Reliever Airports Task Force. Regarding the revenue diversion
challenge,Anderson said MAC is confident it got fair value in the land
transaction with the City. Anderson said FAA is expected to direct MAC and
Northwest Airlines to attempt to reach a negotiated settlement before FAA will
agree to make a final determination. Anderson said his reading of the law
indicates the type of revenue use in question is allowed.
Article 6—Dispute Resolution.
No disputes have been filed.
Article 7—Remedies.
The City and MAC are in compliance. No remedies are needed at this time.
Compliance with Memorandum of Understanding.
The City and MAC are in compliance, although Kipp said there are some issues
on timing related to this item.
B. MAC Expansion Plan Update
MAC has forwarded the EIS regarding the expansion of the runways and
additional hangar area to the Environmental Quality Board,which will make a
determination on its adequacy. Following an affirmative determination,the EIS
will be forwarded to the FAA for its Record of Decision.
Budget concerns continue to affect the development program for MSP and its
relievers. The 2006 CIP has only been approved for environmental review at this
time. Final CIP approval should take place in December. Runway extensions for
FCA are included in the proposed 2007 CIP. Sanitary sewer and water are
currently listed for 2006, at the City's request.
C. Flying Cloud Airport Zoning District
Kipp said the Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual was approved by
Council in 1996. The manual is a guide for architectural standards, airport signs,
site lighting, and other aesthetic issues. The manual is not regulatory and there
are no assurances that recommended upgrades will be achieved. Kipp said
consistency in application of codes at the airport is lacking and there is a need for
updated airport facilities. The City's proposed zoning district would be
regulatory. The code will address aesthetic issues and permitted uses on the land
City Council Workshop
November 1,2005—page 3
side of the airport only. Kipp noted MAC was given a draft of the proposed
zoning district at their August 30 meeting with City staff and we are awaiting
MAC's comments. Councilmember Case noted that MAC's legal counsel, Tom
Anderson,had expressed concerns with the draft document at the August 30
meeting involving the City's authority to enforce zoning regulations at the airport.
Tom Anderson said the Reliever Airports Task Force is addressing some of the
same issues as the zoning district.
Case said the City's Heritage Preservation Commission is looking at some
hangars at the airport that may have historical value. Gary Schmidt said those
hangars are along Highway 212, and they will have to be cleared when the
runway is extended. Councilmember Aho said it is not clear to him that City has
regulatory authority at the airport. Rosow said it is more complex than a simple
yes or no. He will provide more detailed information on this to Young and Aho.
Young said he had heard of a property owner at the airport who wanted to
renovate his facility but was given the impression that the City would not allow it.
Schmidt said MAC has zoning authority, but they are not currently set up handle
that. He said MAC is not opposed to what they have seen so far in the zoning
district proposal. Aho asked how the airport design guidelines compare to other
zoning districts. Kipp said they are actually fairly soft compared to other zoning
districts.
D. Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission
There has been some discussion on whether or not to bring the Flying Cloud
Airport Advisory Commission back. The original Commission functioned as a
means of communication between airport businesses, operators,residents and the
City. The Commission developed the airport's noise abatement plan,reviewed
the EAW and EIS for the 5,000-foot runway, developed MAC's annual noise
monitoring summary, and designed the Airport Design Framework Manual. The
commission was disbanded in 2001 when the memorandum of agreement between
the MAC and the City was being negotiated. Kipp said a reinstituted Commission
could provide oversight on implementation of the Final Agreement and airport
expansion; act as a conduit for aircraft noise and noise abatement concerns; and
resurrect the annual noise monitoring summary, in addition to other functions.
Case said reinstating the commission is"110 percent what has to be done to
assure continued adherence to the Final Agreement and Memo of Understanding."
He said there is a need to educate new residents on the existence of the airport
rules and regulations and the City's agreement with MAC. Anderson said MAC
is fully in favor of reinstituting the commission.Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked who
would represent MAC on the Commission. Anderson said Joe Harris,Flying
Cloud Airport manager,would be a logical choice. Councilmember Aho stated he
does not personally see the need for a commission. He asked whether or not
MAC could keep the City informed through Kipp.
City Council Workshop
November 1,2005—page 4
Janet Jeremiah noted that staffing of another commission is not in the work plans
or budgets that have already been drafted for the next few years. Jeremiah said in
the past it took 10 weeks of staff time annually to run the commission. She said
there are some valid issues an airport work group could address, but she is
concerned about budget and staff time. Jeremiah also noted that a lower dollar
amount has been budgeted for the upcoming plan update than last time. She has
planned to have Kipp working intensively on the Comprehensive Plan update
over the next few years.
Aho said it seems like some are looking for reasons to put a commission together
rather than there being compelling issues driving formation of a commission.
Young said it seems that some of the issues discussed merit dialogue, but how it
happens is less important. He said if the City does form a new commission,we
need to pay particular care to how it is constituted. He said it needs to be a
balanced commission. He is worried that if the commission is reestablished, only
anti-airport advocates will volunteer. Young would like to have some outreach to
make sure there is balanced representation.
Case said his 11 years of experience on the Council have convinced him that the
commission is critically needed now. He said if expansion occurs, impacts will
be stunning to certain parts of the city and the City needs to have a mechanism to
address these impacts. Case said he gets a-mails every month on airport impacts.
Case agrees that it needs to be a balanced commission. It was done well before,
and it can be done well again. Case said in regard to budget concerns, everything
we do costs money.
Case said there are non-compliant issues from residents' point of view,which a
commission could address, and people need to know how to contact MAC to have
violations addressed.
Butcher said so much time was spent dealing with conflicts with the airport in the
past that it would be wise to have a commission in place to mitigate any future
conflicts that are sure to arise with the advent of expansion. Mayor Tyra-Lukens
agreed, saying the Council will be criticized if there is no mechanism in place to
deal with resident concerns when expansion takes place. Anderson suggested the
commission meetings be scheduled quarterly unless there are pressing issues to be
addressed. He said it might be a good idea to sit down once in a while to ward off
rumors.
Butcher asked if there is a way to share the costs for staffing and running the
commission. Anderson said a commission does not need to be overly
burdensome, and costs can be shared.
Neal said staff will prepare an action for the November 15 Council meeting to
reestablish a commission, and council can take formal action at that time.
Rosow noted the City already has a body that is knowledgeable about planning,
City Council Workshop
November 1,2005—page 5
and a new commission would take a long time to educate on these matters. He
suggested funneling airport design and planning issues to the Planning
Commission.
E. Airport Securitv
Chief Dan Carlson introduced Sgt.Chris Wood, one of the primary Police liaisons
at the airport. Carlson said airport operations, like all operations in the
community, are relationship-based. He said the police have always have had a
positive relationship with MAC. Designated police personnel regularly patrol the
airport area and the relationship with MAC police and fire is excellent. Carlson
said his philosophy toward airport security is to be preventative.
Carlson noted the topic of physical security at the airport has come up in the news
recently. The airport houses public businesses that must have some degree of
access, so Carlson's goal is to have officers out there to ensure the department has
good information on which to base recommendations. Carlson said he feels very
good about security at the airport.
Councilmember Aho asked how man and what kind of incidents the police
Y
respond to at the airport. Sgt. Woods said they have received 51 calls this year,
mostly on suspicious persons or vehicles,with a couple of thefts and some
medicals.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens said she attended a regional airport security meeting a couple
of years ago, and she was stunned that there seemed to be some question of who
actually has authority for enforcement on MAC property. Chief Carlson said
those types of issues arise when there are not good relations between the two
parties. He has never seen a jurisdictional issue at Flying Cloud. Tim Anderson
said there were some questions from tenants challenging City authority to come
out to the airport for inspections and enforcement; however MAC does not have
any problems with the City police and fire being out at the airport.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked whether a similar compliance audit will be conducted
annually. Neal said is it can be repeated if Council wishes.Neal said the audit
was conducted because he feels it is important to be able to answer questions from
the public on the status of the City's agreement with MAC.

IV. FLAG PROTOCOL
Neal noted questions had been raised earlier this year about the City's flag protocol and
etiquette,which had not been handled consistently. The Council directed Neal to develop
a consistent protocol. Chief Carlson asked the Police Reserve to work on this issue.
Carlson said the Police Reserve was the ideal group for the job given their professionalism
and their investment in the process as Eden Prairie citizens. Five volunteers developed the
protocol.
Flag Etiquette Committee member Woody Franklin gave a presentation outlining the
committee's findings. The committee had three objectives: to make sure the flags were
raised and lowered appropriately,to develop guidelines for lowering flags to half staff,
and to assume responsibility for proper flag etiquette on City properties(City Center,the
Senior Center, Public Works, the Water Treatment Plant, and the Fire Stations). The flag
protocol would only affect these properties, as this is where the City has direct authority.
After reviewing federal, state, military, and veteran flag codes,the Committee
recommended lowering flags to half-staff on the following occasions:
➢ Memorial Day(flag would be lowered at sunrise and raised at noon.)
➢ All presidential proclamations lowering flags on Federal buildings.
➢ All gubernatorial proclamations relating to a public safety officer killed in the line
of duty.
➢ Any Eden Prairie resident killed in action on active duty.
➢ Other gubernatorial proclamations approved by the Mayor as having local
relevance (for example to honor a local state representative).
➢ Death of an Eden Prairie police officer(from day of death to interment).
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
November 1,2005
Page 2
➢ Death of a City official(day of death).
The Police Reserve Color Detail is committed to assuming responsibility for proper
display of the flag and for ensuring that such actions take place in a timely,professional,
and patriotic manner. Officers in full dress uniform will raise and lower flags. The Color
Detail will set up communication with the governor's office to contact the City and page
members of the Color Detail when action is needed.
Tyra-Lukens praised the committee's work and thanked them. She asked if deaths of
public safety officers and military in combat would normally be gubernatorial
proclamations. Franklin said yes. Tyra-Lukens questioned whether the link to the
governor's office had been inconsistent the past. Neal said the City has had to look at the
website. Franklin agreed notification is problematic, and sometimes even the State does
not hear of Federal proclamations until they are on the news. However,the governor's
office said they would call Eden Prairie dispatch with new flag proclamations.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the proclamations would also stipulate the time frame. Franklin
said yes. Typically the flag is lowered from sunrise to sunset on the day of interment
unless the proclamation says otherwise. There was little discrepancy in flag protocol
among the different groups studied.
Aho thanked the committee for their work and suggested contacting the school district to
see if they wanted to adopt a similar protocol.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Aho,to approve Flag Protocol recommendations
set out in the Executive Summary prepared by the Police Reserve Unit. Motion carried 5-
0.

Butcher pulled Item J for discussion, asking if the Minnesota League of Cities supported
the resolution. Neal said the League would discuss it at its meeting next month. Butcher
asked if it would be prudent for the City to wait before supporting the resolution. Young
agreed this is a sensitive issue and wished to see more information.Butcher noted the
League of Cities does due diligence on such resolutions.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher,to defer action on Item J and approve
Items A-I on the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 5-0.
VIH. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. 2005 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS (Resolution No.2005-132)
Neal noted official notice of this public hearing was published in the October 6,
2005,Eden Prairie Sun Current and sent to 426 property owners.Each year,the
City Council holds a public hearing to consider levying the Special Assessments
that have been identified over the previous 12 months. This year,the Council will
address a list of projects and supplemental assessments for such things as trunk
exclusions, lateral exclusions and trunk utility assessments. The total amount
proposed to be assessed in 2005 is$7,866,001.02.
Aho asked how much the City typically levies in special assessments. City Staff
Alan Gray explained the number is project-based and varies year to year. This
year was fairly active both in terms of the number of properties and the total levy.
Property owner Bill Gibson asked for leniency on his $150 levy for grass cutting,
saying his tenant was gone for three months and did not forward the City notice.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the Council could make this decision. City Attorney Ric
Rosow said that is the purpose of the Public Hearing. However,there are a
variety of circumstances where property owners say their tenants did not forward
information. It could be a slippery slope. Case asked if the fee was for one time
mowing. Dietz confirmed the$150 fee was for one time and represents the City's
out-of-pocket cost. Gibson said the levy was$450. Gray clarified the citywide
total for grass cutting was $450. Gibson's portion is $150. Tyra-Lukens noted
this was at least less than expected. She asked Gibson to give his correct address
to City Staff.
Resident John Peterson, of 7157 Ticonderoga Trail,protested the Hidden Ponds
trail assessment. He said the trail is public property so he should not be assessed
$512.50 for it. Dietz explained the trails were not public property,but jointly
owned by a homeowners' association. Over the years,no homeowners'
association was active and the trails(poorly constructed originally) fell into
disrepair. Homeowners had concerns about liability. Through a lengthy process
including much debate,the City agreed in July 2004 to accept the maintenance
and liability for the outlots and trails if the property owners would accept the costs
to improve them. Peterson maintained property owners had cared for the trails as
best they could and said the City should have supervised trail construction to
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
November 1,2005
Page 5
ensure quality. Tyra-Lukens asked when the trails were built. Dietz said in the
1970s. He acknowledged not everyone was pleased with the agreement. Over
260 property owners had to come to a negotiated agreement. Tyra-Lukens agreed
the issue had been contentious but the agreement was an attempt to find the most
equitable solution. She noted Peterson could in turn use trails developed by other
homeowners' associations.
Peterson asked about the appeals process.Rosow explained Peterson would need
to file a notice tonight to preserve his rights,then follow it by filing an appeal
with the Hennepin County District Court. He would be required to prove his
property value was not increased by the amount of the assessment. Normally,
only large assessments(such as sewer and water worth thousands of dollars)are
worth appealing. Peterson said the trail money should come out of public funds.
Dietz pointed out that if the developer had built the trails to a higher standard,the
cost of purchase would have gone up. If the trails had been properly maintained,
Peterson would have been paying a yearly fee for that too. Fifty dollars a year
over 10 years is a reasonable compromise. The City also picked up some of the
cost of the pond cleanup to keep the assessment from bring too burdensome.
Resident Joe Fucile of 19155 Homestead Circle protested the special assessment
f i or Hidden Ponds trails. He said he purchased his home in June 2004 and was not
notified of any obligation or association and had never even seen the trails. The
City should hold the developer accountable. Rosow said it would be highly
unusual for there to be no documentation of common ownership. Oftentimes
these get skimmed over in the sale of a home,but any covenants and assessments
would be filed against title. Because they affect a whole community, such
covenants can't be removed from the title in any case. Dietz said the previous
owner would have gotten the City notices about the assessments. Fucile asked if
the fee would be due all at once. Dietz explained it would be 1/10`h of the amount
plus 6.5%interest yearly on the unpaid balance. If the home were sold,the
agreement would generally require paying off the assessment. Homeowners can
prepay the full amount by this November to avoid paying fees.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher, to close the public hearing and
adopt Resolution No.2005-132 approving the2 005 Special Assessments.
Motion carried 5-0.
B. VACATION OF PART OF THE DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT
OVER LOT 15,BLOCK 1,PRAIRIE EAST THIRD ADDITION,
VACATION 05-04 (Resolution No.2005-133) (continued from October 18)
Neal noted this Public Hearing was continued from the October 18,2005, Council
Meeting. The Property Owner has requested the vacation of part of the drainage
and utility easement to accommodate construction of a pool. A neighbor had
asked about how the pool would be drained. Dietz said Staff had met with the
proponent and neighbor and the proponent will put in a plastic pipe to drain the
pool to the street, away from the other property. All are agreeable to this solution.

1. Budget Review Process—Councilmember Young
Young noted staff expertise is needed to adequately evaluate the facilities
and information technology budgets and time is running out. Neal said he
wanted to take enough time to perform due diligence and explain how the
budget differs from last year, especially in the area of facilities which is
complicated by changes in what is outsourced and insourced. He expected
to present findings at the November 15 meeting. The Truth-in-Taxation
Hearing is two weeks later so there should be time for a special meeting
after the 15d'if needed. The rest of the agenda on the 15th would be light
to allow ample time for discussion.
Case agreed it is important to get good data and noted there are almost
three weeks between the 15th and the Truth-in-Taxation hearing. He
supported an extra meeting. The Council needs not only to discuss line
items but also to have a philosophical discussion of what the increase
should be and whether and how to use reserve funds. Case said he had a
package proposal to present at either the Council meeting on the 15t' or a
special meeting. Neal proposed scheduling a meeting for Tuesday,
November 29`h.

Randy L. Slick Grading Permit for Backyard Fill/
Public Works/Engineering Retaining Wall Improvements at 11381
Landing Road.
Requested Action
Move to: Authorize issuance of grading permit to JLM Landscape Design for the
backyard grading and retaining wall improvements at 11381 Landing Road.
Synopsis
JLM Landscape Design is requesting City Council approval for the grading and retaining wall
improvements at 11381 Landing Road. The proposed project would include the construction of
a single, continuous retaining wall. The wall will range from 0-12 feet in height and
approximately 1500 cubic yards of imported fill will be placed to level the backyard.
Background Information
Engineering staff has reviewed the plans for conformance to our standards for erosion control
and drainage. Community Development staff has reviewed the proposal for conformance to City
Code. Parks and Natural Resources staff has reviewed the plan and has recommended that the
proposed retaining wall be moved from the current five to seven feet from the trunk of the trees
to a distance of fifteen to twenty-five feet from the trunks of the oak trees. Experience and best
construction practices should dictate that the retaining wall should be built outside the drip line
of the two oak trees.

Scott Neal, City Manager Travel Policy
Requested Action
Move to approve the new Travel Policy, effective January 1,2006.
Synopsis
Earlier thi
s is year,the State Legislature adopted legislation requiring all local governments to
adopt written travel&meal policies for both elected and appointed officials. The attached policy
was drafted by the City Attorney's Office and adopted by the SW Metro Transit Board of
Directors in October 2005. The policy is compliant with the new state law. I am proposing that
the Council adopt the same policy as adopted by the SW Metro Transit Board. If this policy is
adopted by the Council, I will prepare a proposed annual travel plan for the Council that the
Council can adopt at its first meeting in January 2006.
Attachments
Travel Policy
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
TRAVEL POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for travel meal and conference p IP p Y g s, expenses
necessary to the transaction of official City of Eden Prairie(City)business both within and
outside the state of Minnesota and to outline the procedures for expense reimbursement.
POLICY
It is the policy that reasonable travel,meal, and conference expenses incurred by City employees
and Councilmembers while traveling both within and outside the state of Minnesota as
representatives of the City will be paid by the City in accordance with this Meals and Travel
Policy.
APPLICABILITY
This policy is applicable to employees and Councilmembers. Newly elected Councilmembers
will be eligible to attend meetings and conferences before taking office with prior approval of the
Council.
GENERAL
Delegation of authority to approve travel:
An annual conference travel plan will be developed by the department director, submitted to the
City Manager, and approved by the City Council as part of the budget process. All travel must
be approved in advance by the department director or the City Manager. Travel for out of state
meetings not included in the annual conference travel,but within the adopted conference budget,
must be approved by the City Manager.
Business expense without overnight travel:
It is recognized that mileage and meal expense may be incurred for City business purposes for
meetings that do not require overnight lodging. This includes luncheon meetings held by
professional organizations and business meals for meetings that cannot be reasonably held at
another time. The employee must detail the date,time,place and purpose of the meeting, and the
name(s)of attendees. Actual expenses will be reimbursed when consistent with this policy. If a
meal is furnished with a registration paid by the City and the employee elects to eat elsewhere,
the meal expense will not be reimbursed. Employees are personally responsible to pay
cancellation fees for a business luncheon when one is charged. Daily per diem amounts cannot
be claimed for meals unless incurred in conjunction with overnight travel. Employees should not
accept meals from a City vendor or potential vendor unless the meal is part of a paid conference
or training session and the vendor has provided the same benefit to all participants.
Page 1 of 4
Employee Responsibility:
Reimbursed travel expenses are those expenses essential to the transaction of authorized official
business. The City expects employees traveling on official business to exercise the same care in
incurring reimbursable expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal
business and expending personal funds.
Travel.
Travel must be by the most direct,usually traveled route and by the most economical mode of
transportation available. Travel for official business will be by the method of transportation that
will result in the greatest cost advantage and efficiency to the City.
REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES
The following regulations and procedures will govern all travel and mileage reimbursement:
1. All out of state travel must be approved by the department director and City Manager, and
submitted in the budget process. Out of state travel is appropriate for conferences.
2. The"Employee Expense Report"must be completed for all travel and meals.The expense
report should be a complete listing of the total expense for the trip. This includes the
expenses paid directly by City. The itemized expense report must be completed, approved by
the department manager, and submitted to the finance department within thirty (30)days
following the date of return from a trip. Expense forms are available from the finance
department and should be obtained before the trip is taken.
3. Receipts must accompany the expense report for the following expenses unless the amount
claimed is under$20.00 and a receipt is not normally issued for that type of expense(i.e. bus
fares):
A. Transportation costs,which must be itemized as "from" and "to"
B. Lodging
C. Registration fees
4. For trips longer than one day, lodging and transportation will be reimbursed.Daily
reimbursement of meals and incidental expenses incurred during official travel above and
beyond lodging and transportation will be reimbursed on a per diem basis or actual
expenditures, if receipts are submitted. Meal expenses in excess of the per diem rate are not
eligible for reimbursement unless a business purpose can be established and it is approved by
the City Manager.
5. All lodging costs must be supported by an officially recognized original lodging receipt(not
a credit card charge slip or statement) from a hotel, motel, or other commercial lodging
establishment. Government discount rates must be obtained whenever available. Only the
cost of single occupancy will be reimbursed. If a double occupancy occurs (i.e., a spouse or
guest accompanies the employee),the employee is responsible for paying the additional cost
of double over single occupancy. There are no fixed amounts for hotel or motel
accommodations,but charges must be reasonable and consistent with the facilities available.
Page 2 of 4
6. Air transportation will be tourist or coach, except when this is not available. If a reservation
is not going to be used, it must be canceled immediately. Cancellation fees will only be
reimbursed for extenuating circumstances and require the approval of the City Manager.
7. Employees are entitled to a per diem allowance anytime they are in travel status and
authorized lodging costs are incurred. The allowance begins and ends when travel status
begins and ends. Claims for meal reimbursements can only be made when in travel status.
Specifically,per diem covers expenses for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and related tips and
taxes;tips to porters, baggage carriers, bellhops,and hotel/motel housekeepers, and other
incidentals.Maximum per diem rates are prescribed for daily reimbursement of meals and
incidental expenses incurred during official travel above and beyond lodging and
transportation.As detailed in the following table,per diem rates vary according to locality.A
five-tier per diem rate system has been established by General Services Administration
(GSA). The listed per diem rates are available alphabetically by state at
www.policyworks.gov under per-diem rate. The column to use is identified as `M&IE rate'.
A standard per-day rate applies to all locations not specifically listed or encompassed by the
boundary definition of a listed point. A per diem is not provided when the period of official
travel is less than 24 hours and does not require lodging. The per diem requested should be
pro-rated if travel begins or ends during the day. Actual costs for legitimate business meals
may be reimbursed if approved by the department director and City Manager. The purpose
and attendees must be clearly stated on the request for expense reimbursement.
When one or more meals are furnished at no cost(e.g., included in conference registration
fee)to the employee,the per diem rate is reduced by a predetermined amount. This is based
on the five-tier per diem rate system that has been established by General Services
Administration(GSA).
Per Diem
Daily Rate $31 $35 $ 39 $43 $47 $ 51 $64
Breakfast 6 7 8 9 9 10 12
Lunch 6 7 8 9 11 12 18
Dinner 16 18 20 22 24 26 31
Incidentals 3 1 3 3 - 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
8. Reimbursement for use of a personal automobile will be at the IRS approved rate. (48.5 cents
per mile effective 09/1/2005.)
9. Reimbursement for car rental is an option for out of state travel and must have prior approval
by the City Manager. Reimbursement will be made on the basis of current rental rates for the
geographical area. The following situations must be weighed in justifying car rental. If the
airport is located a considerable distance from the conference destination, renting a car may
be more cost effective than paying for a taxi or shuttle service to and from the airport,
especially if more than one employee is traveling together. The same consideration would
apply if restaurants are not close by and a taxi must be used. The physical damage insurance
should be purchased from the car rental company and be included in the rental versus public
transportation cost analysis.
Page 3 of 4
10. Payment of expense for transportation by personal vehicle for out-of-state travel,with the
prior approval of the employee's supervisor,will be made on the basis of current commercial
tourist or coach air fare when that option is more cost effective. The cost analysis should be
noted on the employee's expense report. City employees who use their own cars for official
travel are required to carry limits of liability of at least$250,000 bodily injury per person,
$500,000 bodily injury per occurrence, and $100,000 property damage. When a personal or
City vehicle is used in lieu of air commercial transportation,reimbursement for meals and
lodging will be limited to the period of time required if the most direct and cost/time efficient
transportation were used.
11. Long distance telephone charges incurred when the employee is out of town overnight will
be reimbursed under the following conditions:
• The call is made for a business purpose(City office, return business calls, etc.)
• The call is a personal call to speak with immediate family members or a"house sitter",
etc. This is limited to one call a day with a maximum limit of 30 minutes, except in the
case of an emergency.
12. The City may advance to any authorized person the estimated costs of traveling to meetings
both within and outside the state on official business.Advances should be considered the
exception and should be requested at least 15 days in advance of the first day of travel. The
City encourages the use of personal credit cards by the employee and prompt claim for
reimbursement. When the claim for reimbursement is made promptly after the incurred
expense,the City will endeavor to process the reimbursement payment before payment on
employees' credit card is due.

Robert A. Lambert, Director Proposed Land Exchange
Parks and Recreation
Requested Action
Move to: Direct to staff to prepare an exchange agreement with School District 272 for the
acquisition by the City of land located south of Eagle Way, adjacent to Round Lake
Park,to accommodate the expansion of the Community Center and for the
acquisition by the School District of land located south of Staring Lake Parkway
across from Oak Point School to accommodate the relocation of the Anderson
Schoolhouse.
Synopsis
City staff have proposed that the City acquire approximately 59,700 square feet of land located
south of Eagle Way from the School District and in return convey in the School District and to
trade for a approximately 59,700 square feet of the land owned by the City of Eden Prairie, south
of Staring Lake Parkway across that road from Oak Point Intermediate School. The City would
use the property from the School District to expand Round Lake Park to accommodate possible
future expansion of the Community Center. The School District would use the land south of
Staring Lake Parkway as an overflow parking lot for school events at Oak Point, and to
accommodate the relocation of the Anderson Schoolhouse.
The City has maintained the property south of Eagle Way at this time, as part of Round Lake
Park,therefore there would be no additional maintenance costs to the City.And the major user
for the parking lot south of Staring Lake Parkway is for overflow parking for School District
events occurring at Oak Point Intermediate School. There is sufficient amount of land on the
west end of the parking lot to accommodate the relocation of the Anderson Schoolhouse,which
is proposed to be acquired by the School District through a donation from the Eden Prairie
Historical Society.
Background
The School Board and the City Council briefly discussed this land exchange possibility at a
workshop several months ago. The City and School staff have also discussed this potential land
exchange.All individuals involved in the discussion thus far,have agreed that this would be
beneficial to both the School District and the City of Eden Prairie.
Proposed Land Exchange
November 15, 2005
Page 2
The first step is to prepare an exchange agreement that would accommodate the land trade and
have the agreement approved by both the City Council and the School District. When both
parties have signed the exchange agreement,the transaction could close in accordance with the
terms of the agreement.
A copy of the parcels with the approximate square footage of land is attached to this
memorandum. The actual square footage would be determined by a land survey. The survey and
the legal description from the survey would be used to describe the parcels in the exchange
agreement.

Robert A. Lambert,Director Purgatory Creek Design and Construction
Parks and Recreation Services for Implementation of Boardwalk
Overlook and Walk Connections
Requested Action
Move to: Recommend the approval of the Contract for Services with SRF for designing and
construction services for the boardwalk overlook and the walk connections at the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Synopsis
The boardwalk over the water and the trails leading to that boardwalk are the final phase of the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area project. (The third phase was to be the full access interchange,
which was rejected due to high bids earlier this year.)
This project is scheduled for construction in 2006 and would be funded from the Park Dedication
Fees. The estimated cost for the project is $83,600. The cost for design services is an additional
$15,968.
This will be a pier that will be constructed on pilings out over the water and will be large enough
to accommodate picnic tables and other seating. City staff believe this is an important feature of
this park and recommend approval of this contract.
Upon approval of the contract,plans and specifications will be developed and submitted for bid
in February 2006 for a construction project that would begin in the spring of 2006 and completed
during the summer months.

SCOPE OF SERVICES ASSUMPTION
1. Project construction is estimated at$80,000. Substantial deviation in this
amount affecting the content of the plan set will serve as the basis for an
adjustment to the project scope of services and level of effort
(compensation). f
2. After reviewing current soil boring information available for the site, it
has been determined no additional soil borings will be needed.
Additional geotechnical analysis will be needed for structural design of I

the grading plan used to construct the park reflects the current as built
condition of the site needed for design and construction of the

reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing Date all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation
proceedings. Prior to the Closing Date, if the Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section, Seller shall not designate counsel, appear in, or otherwise act with
respect to such condemnation proceedings without Buyer's prior written consent.
16. Broker's Commission. Seller and Buyer represent and warrant to each other that
they have dealt with no brokers, finders or the like in connection with this transaction, and agree
to indemnify each other and to hold each other harmless against all claims, damages, costs or
expenses of or for any other such fees or commissions resulting from their actions or agreements
regarding the execution or performance of this Agreement, and will pay all costs of defending
any action or lawsuit brought to recover any such fees or commissions incurred by the other
12
party, including reasonable attorney's fees.
17. Mutual Indemnification. Seller and Buyer agree to indemnify each other against,
and hold each other harmless from, all liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees in
defending against claims) arising out of the ownership, operation or maintenance of the Real
Property for their respective periods of ownership. Such rights of indemnification will not arise
to the extent that (a) the party seeking indemnification actually receives insurance proceeds or
other cash payments directly attributable to the liability in question, (net of the cost of collection,
including reasonable attorney's fees) or (b) the claim for indemnification arises out of the act or
neglect of the party seeking indemnification. If and to the extent that the indemnified party has
insurance coverage, or the right to make claim against any third party for any amount to be
indemnified against as set forth above, the indemnified party will, upon full performance by the
indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations, assign such rights to the indemnifying
party or, if such rights are not assignable,the indemnified party will diligently pursue such rights
by appropriate legal action or proceeding and assign the recovery and/or right of recovery to the
indemnifying party to the extent of the indemnification payment made by such party.
18. Assignment. Buyer may not assign its rights under this Agreement, without the
prior written consent of the Seller which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole discretion,
provided Buyer may assign this Agreement, without Seller's consent, to a wholly owned
subsidiary incorporated or organized, and qualified to conduct business in Minnesota, to a lender
to facilitate financing of the acquisition of the Real Property, or to a corporation, partnership or
limited liability company qualified to conduct business in Minnesota if the majority of the
shareholders,partners or members of said entity are members of the Buyer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without Seller's consent to assign its rights in this
Agreement to an entity which is the parent entity, subsidiary or affiliated entity of Buyer or
which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Buyer(where "control" means
the direct or indirect power to direct the management and policies of such entity), and to any
entity which results from the reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation or merger of or
affiliations with Buyer.
19. Survival. Except as stated in Section 14, all of the terms of this Agreement will
survive and be enforceable for a period of one year after the Closing.
20. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by any party upon the other
is given in accordance with this Agreement if it is directed to Seller by delivering it personally to
an officer of Seller, or if it is directed to Buyer, by delivering it personally to an officer of Buyer,
or if mailed in a sealed wrapper by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt

25. Remedies. (The remedies and procedures set forth in this Section including
notice and opportunity to cure do not apply to defaults under Section 4.C.) If Buyer defaults
under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice to Buyer. If Buyer fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days of the date of such
notice, this Agreement will terminate, and upon such termination Buyer's rights in and to the
Phase I and the Survey shall be automatically assigned to Seller and Buyer shall executed such
assignment documents as may be necessary to confirm said assignment and Seller may obtain
and retain the Earnest Money and any interest earned thereon as liquidated damages, time being
of the essence of this Agreement. Except as stated in the following sentence the termination of
this Agreement, the assignment of the Buyer's rights in and to the Phase I and the Survey and
retention of the Earnest Money and interest, if any, will be the sole remedy available to Seller for
such default by Buyer, and Buyer will not be liable for damages or specific performance. Seller
and Buyer acknowledge and agree that any liability of Buyer to Seller under the indemnity
provided under Sections 5 and 17 hereof will not be limited by the liquidated damages provision
set forth above and Seller may maintain an action to recover any sums due under said
indemnification provisions. If Seller defaults under this Agreement, this provision does not
preclude Buyer from seeking and recovering from Seller specific performance of this
Agreement. Buyer shall have no right to seek damages from Seller for Seller's defaults
hereunder, including but not limited to damages for Buyer's loss of its bargain in failing to
acquire the Real Property. Upon an uncured default, Buyer, in lieu of seeking specific
performance, may terminate this Agreement, at which time all Earnest Money and interest
thereon, if any, shall be immediately returned to Buyer.

SECTION: Reports of the City Manager November 15, 2005
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.: XIV.B.1.
Scott Neal, City Manager Request for letter of support for noise (Add-on Item)
mitigation wall
Requested Action
Move to direct staff to prepare a letter of support from the City of Eden Prairie for a noise
mitigation wall on the east side of I-494 from Highway 62 south to the end of Beach Road with
the following caveats:
• The City of Eden Prairie will not provide funding for the initial or subsequent construction of
the proposed wall; and
• The City of Eden Prairie will not assume future maintenance responsibilities for the proposed
wall.
Synopsis
Citizens in the Beach Road neighborhood are working with MnDOT through a process which
they hope will culminate in the construction of a new noise mitigation wall on the east side of I-
494 from Highway 62 south to the end of Beach Road. The citizens have retained the services of
a consultant to assist them with this process. The consultant has solicited the proposed letter of
support for this project. The letter will be presented by the consultant to MnDOT officials to
assure MnDOT that the City does not object to the project. The consultant understands that the
City will not contribute financially to the construction of the noise wall, nor will the City assume
maintenance of the wall upon its completion or any time in the future. With the two caveats
about finance and future maintenance clearly stated in the letter, staff recommends the Council
approve this motion.

FROM: Scott H. Neal, City Manager
RE: City Councilmember Budget Questions &Responses
On the Council's September 20 meeting,Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked Councilmembers to
consider the questions and concerns they might have about the City's proposed 2006 City
budget and to pose those questions at the Council's meeting on October 18.
Councilmembers posed a number of questions to staff on October 18 with the
expectation of receiving a staff response to those questions at the Council's November 15
meeting. The following is a summary of the questions and responses:
1. Can the City analyze its cost structure to provide itself with criminal
prosecution services with in-house legal staff?
Response:Yes. The City can provide its own criminal prosecution services with in-
house legal staff. Staff have researched how other communities have accomplished
this same end. We have recently received information from the current prosecution
staff which we must analyze before making a final decision on this matter. See
attached.
2. Can the Council have more detail on the Immigrant Services Coordinator
position?
Response: Yes. See attached for additional rationale and justification for the position.
1
3. Can the Council decrease the"contingency'line item in the General Fund
budget without causing operational problems?
Response: Yes. The"contingency"line item has been set at$100,000 for the past
several years. That number could be reduced in half to $50,000. While this would not
cause the City operational harm it would reduce our flexibility to respond to
unanticipated challenges in 2006.
4. Can the Council receive more information about our Facilities Division
budget?
Response: Yes. The Facilities Division budget has been significantly restructured
from previous City budgets. The Facilities Division budget includes new dollars for
what I would call"full funding" of the City's building maintenance needs at its 26
buildings based on a building assessment report prepared for the City by a consulting
firm called EPI. The EPI report outlines the necessary repairs and maintenance that
should be completed at our City buildings and park shelters. The report gives us an
objective basis upon which to budget for the care of our facilities in the future.
5. Can the Council receive a better explanation of spending on"travel,training,
and conferences" for 2006?
Response: Yes. The City budget includes approximately$225,000 in 2006 for
employee travel,training, and conferences. Departments typically do not expend
their entire travel and training budgets through out the year.
6. Can the Council receive more information about the operations of the
Information Technology Division?
Response:Yes. See attached.
7. Can the City save money and provide great convenience to citizens with a
criminal prosecution diversion program?
Response: Yes. Staff have investigated the financial prospects of creating a criminal
prosecution diversion program along the lines of one suggested to us by Hennepin
County Courts. We believe we can save the City$100,000 in 2006 through a
combination of lower police overtime costs,lower police on-call costs,lower legal
services costs,and an increase in our share of fine&penalty revenues. We are
2
making plans to implement such a program in 2006. If possible,we'd like to launch it
January 1,2006
8. Can the City restructure its Capital Improvements Plan to lower its costs in
2006?
Response: Yes. We could restructure our CIP for 2006,but its impact on General
Fund operations spending would be minimal. Staff will offer,however, Council a
proposed modification to the City's long term CIP spending that can reduce our 2006
tax levy.
9. Can the City use smaller trucks or cars for its inspectors' daily work vehicles?
Response: We examined this idea and did not find it feasible for our building and fire
inspection staffs. It is more feasible to replace existing general travel vehicles with
vehicles that are more fuel efficient,use E85,or have hybrid engines when those
vehicles are scheduled for normal replacement.
10. Can the City spend down its savings to help reduce the 2006 tax levy?
Response: Yes. Staff will present the Council with a proposal on how this can be
achieved in 2006 and 2007 budgets. See attached.

Prosecuting Attorney Services Project — 2005 Update
City of Eden Prairie
Michael Barone, Assistant to the City Manager
November 14, 2005
Proiect Update: Overview
An update to the original May 2004 Prosecuting Attorney Services project was requested
in November 2005 by the City Manager and Police Chief. Included in this project update
is information regarding the amount of money budgeted for all legal services in 2005, if
available, including the amount budgeted specifically for criminal prosecution attorney
services. The City of Eden Prairie contracts with the firm of Gregerson,Rosow, Johnson
&Nilan, Ltd., for its civil and prosecution legal services.
All the Municipal Legislative Commission cities were surveyed for information from
their 2005 budgets regarding all legal services and the amount specifically budgeted for
criminal prosecution attorney services.
There are two cities in the MLC that have "in-house" or staff-based legal services, the
City of Minnetonka and the City of Bloomington. One other city in the metropolitan
area, the City of Coon Rapids, also has "in-house" or staff-based legal services, and I
have included their information into the project for the first time, since these cities that
hire their own legal services are very few in number.
Prosecuting Attorney Services in Other Cities
Information on other local municipalities for 2005 budgeted amounts for all legal services
and prosecution services. Population information is from the 2004 estimates as reported
by the Metropolitan Council on April 1, 2005.
Amount Budgeted in 2005 for:
City(2004 pop'l est) All Legal Services Prosecution Services
Apple Valley(48,875) $401,729 $248,579 (62%of total)
Burnsville(61,425) $390,000 $240,000 (61% of total)

Total=$2,955,939 Total=$1,756,679 (59%of total)
Average=$369,492 Average=$219,585
Cities with Staff Legal Services
Two cities in the MLC consortium, the City of Bloomington and the City of Minnetonka,
have"in-house"or staff-based legal departments as part of their City organization
structure. This update also includes, for the first time associated with this project, the
information for the"in-house"or staff-based legal department for the City of Coon
Rapids. These three cities are, I believe, the only cities of any size with legal personnel
on staff in the metropolitan area.
City of Bloomington
The City of Bloomington(population 85,442) is staffed with 11.50 FTE's in their Legal
department, unchanged in head count since this survey was last done in May 2004. The
staff is led by the City Attorney, who is the department head for the Legal department.
They have four Associate City Attorneys(ACA's)that handle criminal prosecution, and
three Associate City Attorneys (ACA's) that work with the City Attorney to provide
`civil' based legal advice. The staff also includes two Legal Secretaries, one Office
Assistant, and one part time(0.50 FTE) Office Assistant. The City Attorney and all
seven Assistant City Attorney's are"exempt"in job status; and the two Legal Secretaries
and the 1.5 Office Assistants are all"non-exempt"in their job status.
Even though they share the same title of Associate City Attorney at the City of
Bloomington, these are distinct jobs with distinct salary ranges between the Civil-based
and Prosecution-based Attorney positions.
Bloomington Positions Salary Range
City Attorney(1) $99,725 - $121,247
ACA—Civil (3) $67,102 - $92,033
ACA—Prosecution(4) $49,597 - $68,163
Legal Secretaries (2) $40,685 - $55,200
Office Assistant(1) $35,628 - $43,754
Office Assistant(0.50) $30,472 - $39,104
The following are the actual salaries, in 2005, for the four ACA—Prosecution incumbent
positions at the City of Bloomington:
(1) $58,180—one year in position
(2) $58,037—four years in position
(3) $60,320—six years in position
(4) $61,109—five years in position.
City of Minnetonka
The City of Minnetonka(population 51,480) is staffed with 6.00 FTE's in their Legal
department. A slight restructuring at the beginning of 2005 increased the legal
department in size from 5.30 FTE's to the current 6.00 FTE's.
The staff is led by a City Attorney,who is the department head for the Legal department.
They have two other attorneys, one is an Associate City Attorney,who has some
2-
supervisory authority, and the other is an Assistant City Attorney,who does not have any
supervisory authority. The Associate City Attorney supervises the Assistant City
Attorney and the Legal Administrative Coordinator(akin to a Paralegal).
Also on staff is an Administrative Assistant—Legal, and a Legal Secretary. Both the
Associate City Attorney and the Assistant City Attorney do Prosecution as their main
duty. The City Attorney, as well as the other two Attorney's, are"exempt"in job status,
and the Legal Administrative Coordinator,Administrative Assistant—Legal, and the
Legal Secretary are "non-exempt"in their job status.
Minnetonka employs two prosecutors because they `contract-out' some prosecution
services to two small neighboring communities (Minnetrista and St. Bonifacius)to offset
the cost of employing these attorneys, and in 2005 will receive $59,900 in fees combined
from Minnetrista and St. Bonifacius for doing so.
Minnetonka Positions Salary Range 2005 Salary
City Attorney $95,286 - $105,873 $105,873
Associate City Atty(supv) $80,982 - $89,980 $89,980
Assistant City Atty(non-supv) $70,574 - $78,415 $78,415
Legal Adm. Coord(paraleg) $46,053 - $51,170 $51,170
Adm Ass't—Legal $40 610 - $45 122 $45 122
g � ,
Legal Secretary $35,717 - $39,686 $39,686
City of Coon Rapids
The City of Coon Rapids (population 62,243) is staffed with 6.00 FTE's in their Legal
department. The staff is led by a City Attorney, who is the department head for the Legal
department. They have two Assistant City Attorneys (ACA's), a Legal Secretary I, a

Rational for the Community Liaison Position—Prepared by Mary Keating
Demographics:
In a May 2004 census update the County states that demographic changes seen in the
1990's will continue in the coming years and will require adaptations by the county and
local governments to serve immigrants./refugees/new citizens. In 1990 one in twenty-
five Hennepin County residents was foreign born and today that number is one in ten.
This trend has also occurred in Eden Prairie and will continue. The history of immigrants
to this country is that they join family members or gravitate to the communities that
already have residents from their home land. According to the County, third ring suburbs
will show dramatic growth in terms of percentage of population, doubling in size by
2030. The County expects that these increases will be most reflected in the elderly and
immigrant populations.
School Districts report each October on the number of students with a home language
other than English. In Eden Prairie for the 2000-01 school year the total number of
Somali languages in Eden Prairie was 153. In 2004 that number increased to 324.
Spanish speaking students also increased from 51 students in 2000-01 to 115 in 2004.
Current census numbers do not adequately reflect the number of immigrants in Eden
Prairie, in particular the Somali population. Somalis do not consider themselves African
American or Black so there was no designation that fit for them in the 2000 census. The
Federal Government admits that immigrants and people of color,particularly low-income
are under counted in the census. My best guess is that there are at least 1500 Somali
individuals living in Eden Prairie.
PROP reports that Somali families now make up the largest number of clients with 223
families being served in 2004.
Existing City Services
Eden Prairie provides direct social services to senior citizens and persons with disabilities
who live in our community through programs offered by the Park and Recreation
Department. Currently there are approximately 5,000 senior citizens aged 60 years and
over(as stated in the Counties current estimates) who reside in Eden Prairie. Regardless
of the fact that this is a relatively small number compared to the entire population of EP,
we think they deserve services and in fact we provide a Senior Center where resident
elderly can get free help with their taxes, get a ride to go get groceries or occasionally to
a doctor's appointment, and be given information about resources.
We also have a small population of disabled children. Again,we value these residents
and provide programming just for them so they can actively partake in the life of the
community.
PolicyIssues:s.
The City of Eden Prairie currently provides direct service to such groups as senior
citizens and disabled children. Consequently, we would not be making new policy but
rather extending services to an additional group that really needs assistance.
Comprehensive Plan:
The City Council issued a directive in their Comprehensive Plan that calls for a balance
in the level of staffing and resources needed to support the delivery of services to reflect
Eden Prairie's changing demographics. The Community liaison position fulfills this
charge in two ways.
First,through this position we are able to offer needed services to a segment of our
community.
Secondly,this position means that the City is moving to a more diverse City staff to
reflect the population changes in our community.
The Community Liaison position meets the Council's goal of expanding and intensifying
our outreach efforts, "to all segments of the community ... to increase understanding and
participation in City programs and services". The Community Liaison makes it possible
for the City to meet this goal. Language is one of the keys to the success of these efforts.
The ability to speak Somali, Italian,Arabic and some Spanish means we have removed
one of the barriers to receiving services for a segment of Eden Prairie's population.
Inclusion:
The League of Minnesota Cities' Cultural Diversity Task Force developed an"action
guide"for communities to address the changing demographics in Minnesota cities. They
listed several outcomes that a successful City should work to achieve:
1) High quality city service delivery to all populations
2) Increased participation of ethnic populations in city government
3) Improved cross-cultural understanding among populations
The Task Force also listed action steps:
1) Hire cultural liaisons to be a bridge between the city government and ethnic
populations
2) Orient newcomers to the community's resources,norms and expectations
The City of Eden Prairie has successfully implemented these two action steps by hiring
the Community Liaison position. This action step has sent a message to
immigrant/refugee groups in our community that the City welcomes them and is ready to
assist them in becoming productive, contributing members of the community. If the
City chooses to eliminate this position at this time,the repercussions will be felt
throughout the community and the good work and good will that has been established
may not continue to exist.
