I. BUDGET
Mayor Young called the workshop to order and asked City Manager Neal to begin his
presentation on the budget.
City Manager Neal said he will present a broad outline of several different versions of the
budget and then will review the new operating costs at the Community Center because those
costs are one of the key drivers for the budget this year. Following Council discussion about
the various budget options, Ms Kotchevar will lead a discussion about the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) and our process for the Council’s review of that.
Neal reviewed the 2008-2009 budget calendar, noting the special Council workshop to
discuss the budget on Tuesday, October 30, at 6:00 PM in the Council Chamber. He said the
regular City Council meetings for November have been shifted to the second and fourth
Tuesdays of the month. The first meeting in November will be held Tuesday, November 13
with a workshop prior to the meeting, and the second meeting will be the November 27
Town Hall meeting at 7:00 PM at Fire Station 4. The Truth-In-Taxation Public Hearing and
CIP Public Hearing will be held December 3. On December 18 the Council will meet to
certify the Final Levy and adopt the budget and the CIP.
Neal said Version 1.0 was the version of the budget we started with and was based on the
Directors and Division Managers input regarding the costs to move their operations from the
current year into 2008 and 2009, including expansions and enhancements as well as staffing
changes. Version 2.0 was the recommendation that the City Manager developed after the
Budget Advisory Commission (BAC) made their recommendations and included some
reductions in operations and some staffing changes from Version 1.0. Version 2.5 is
Version 2.0 plus the use of positive operating results of $250,000 per year from the 2006
General Fund. He said this has usually been plugged into the CIP, but the Mayor suggested
earlier this year to use that money to supplement the 2008-2009 budget. Version 3.0 is the
version the City Council requested in September and increases spending by $1,000,000 in
2008 and also in 2009. There are also a couple of variations in Version 3.0. Version 4.0 is a
zero increase in spending from 2007 levels. Version 1.5 is where we start to come to a
ITEM NO.: VI.A.

possible compromise between the various versions. It is essentially Version 2.0 without the
reduction of two full time employees in Housing and Community Services and with the
addition of the 2006 General Fund balance.
Neal then explained that Version 1.0 was based on staff requests with the goal to advance all
operations and services from 2007 into 2008 and 2009. It included new services
recommended by staff and by the Council, a market wage increase for staff and the new
operating costs at the Community Center. He said the market wage increase is about 3% and
is based on research in our peer cities.
Young asked if Version 2.0 was the City Manager’s original recommendation to the BAC or
the result of changes recommended by the BAC. Neal said it was his original
recommendation. He said the BAC offered comments on Version 2.0, but we have not gone
through the process of incorporating their comments into another version.
Neal said the bottom line of Version 1.0 is about a $2.9 million increase, with a 7.6%
increase in 2008 and a 2.7% increase in 2009. He said the debt levy is going down by
$170,000 in 2008 and $75,000 in 2009 and is a reflection of our scheduled debt service. The
equipment levy is consistent from version to version and represents the amount needed to
fund the existing equipment replacement plan. The CIP levy is the levy across the tax base
to put into the CIP. He said the HRA levy has occurred the last two years and is blended
back into the budget as operating revenue. He noted Version 1.0 includes all new full time
employee (FTE) requests, with 3.0 new FTE’s in 2008 and 2.5 new FTE’s in 2009. It
includes service level expansions in Communications, the Community Center, Police and
Fire and a market employee wage increase of 3.5% in 2008 and 3.5% in 2009. Neal said the
7.6% increase in spending translates to a 5.4% increase in the tax impact for a Median
Single Family Home (MSFH), a 7.8% increase for a $5,000,000 apartment, and a 11.9%
increase for a $2,000,000 Commercial/Industrial building. He noted there is no way for the
City to change the tax impact on the different types of property because that is an element of
the state’s local property tax system that we have no control over.
Neal said Version 2.0 was an attempt to take a look at what we are doing and make some
strategic decisions about what we should be doing as a City government. It used a model
that defined our services as core, supplemental and mission support and increased some
areas and decreased others. He said this is a 5.1% increase in spending for 2008 and 2.7%
for 2009. It includes FTE additions to IT, Facilities and Police and staff reductions in
Finance, Housing & Community Services, Building Inspections, Fleet Services and
Recreation for a net decrease in FTE headcount. It does not include staffing increases
requested by Police, Fire and Communications. It includes reductions in operating budgets
of approximately $700,000, an employee market wage increase of 3.0% in 2008 and 3.25%
in 2009, and reductions in outsourced human service grants. He noted the tax impact of
Version 2.0 on a MSFH is a 2.1% increase.
Neal explained Version 2.5 as Version 2.0 plus the use of the 2006 General Fund operating
results. It has the same increases in spending as Version 2.0 but adds the positive operating
results from the General Fund so that the tax impact on a MSFH is only a 1.3% increase.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007

Neal said Version 3.0 is the City Council request and it has several different ways to get at
our budget and operations as we limit spending growth to $1,000,000 each year, or about
2.5%. This version applies the growth limitation across the board to all General Fund
operating budget and divisions. He noted in this scenario we begin to see actual decreases in
service levels. He reviewed the reductions proposed in this version, noting the reductions in
police officer staffing levels by 3.0 FTE in 2008 and by 2.0 FTE. He said it has a disparate
impact on the Police Department because that department is the most personnel cost
sensitive. That department has the biggest individual department budget and the highest
percentage allocated to its human resource costs. This version also includes suspending the
opening of some of the amenities at the Community Center. The tax impact on a MSFH is a
$14 decrease or a 1.3% decrease.
Neal noted Version 3.1 limits spending growth to $1,000,000 per year and reduces general
employee wage increases to 2%, which is below market level, in order to create funds to
open the new Community Center amenities. It also has a negative impact on the Police
Department operations.
Neal said Version 3.2 applies the Version 2.0 strategic model to the Version 3.0 budget by
making strategic reductions and expansions. It freezes all operations at the 2007 budgeted
levels, includes no increases in staff, and holds the general employee wage increase to 1%. It
does not reduce the number of Police Department employees, and it does open the
Community Center in 2008 as planned.
Neal said Version 4.0 has a zero increase in overall spending for 2008 and 2009 with a
combination of strategic and across-the-board decreases in operation. The debt levy
spending of $170,000 is added to General Fund spending. There is a significant change in
operations and there is no increase in employee wages.
Neal said Version 4.1 has a zero increase in overall spending but includes a market wage
increase to employees by eliminating the CIP levy. Both Version 4.0 and 4.1 have a 4.6%
decrease on MSFH taxes and a 1.2% increase for Commercial/Industrial.
Neal then reviewed Version 1.5, noting this version gets at some of the discussion the
Council had at the last budget discussion in September. It uses Version 2.0 as a base, adds
back the two FTE’s in Housing and Community Services and adds the 2006 General Fund
operating balance. There would be a 5.5% increase in spending for 2008, and a 2.8%
increase for 2009. There are some reductions in some of the operating budgets and some
reductions in outsourced human services grants. It does include a market wage increase of
3.0% in 2008 and 3.25% in 2009. The tax impact of Version 1.5 is a 1.7% increase for a
MSFH, a 4.1% increase for Apartments, and a 7.9% increase for Commercial/Industrial. He
noted the 1.7% increase for a MSFH is the lowest increase in the past five to ten years.
Aho said we talk a lot about the employee wage increases being at market level or below.
He asked what the current wage is relative to the market. Neal said we compare ourselves to
a group of peer cities, the MLC cities. We participate regularly in salary surveys with that
group, and we want to be at or near the median salaries for those cities. We are in a variety
of positions with that peer group, but on the average we are at the median or slightly above.
Neal said he and Director of Human Resources Kurt had a chance to visit with
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 4
Councilmember Duckstad earlier this year and laid out a comparison of common positions.
He noted that presentation is available and could be provided to other Councilmembers.
Many of the peer cities are involved in labor contracts and most of them are looking at a
3.0% increase for this period.
Regarding the wage increase, Duckstad asked if he was referring to the 3.0% figure or 3.5%
for each year. Neal said this was part of the discussion at the BAC meetings about what
number do we use. Some of the information shows the increase at 4.6%, which includes a
baseline of 3% and funding for step increases of 1.6% He said about one-third of the work
force is involved in a pay plan where they begin employment at below market wages, and
those employees would receive both the baseline increase and the step increase.
Duckstad said he wasn’t entirely clear about that because it was presented to the BAC as a
wage increase, and in addition there was another factor presented as a step increase or a
performance increase. He had the impression the employees got the wage increase and the
step or performance increase. Neal said that is not usually the case because most employees
qualify only for the baseline wage increase. He said there was a discussion at the BAC
meetings about having an “all-in” salary number, and we can discuss it like that; however,
that is not how any of the peer cities talk about the number, so we use the baseline in order
to compare what we are doing to those cities.
Duckstad said in Version 1.0 Mr. Neal talked about a base increase each year of 3.5% and
he asked if 3.5% meant that their wages would increase 3.5%, and in addition there would
be a step increase or performance increase that was a percentage add-on. Neal said that was
true for only about one-third of our employees. Duckstad said so that means at least one-
third of the employees will have an increase of 4.1%. Neal said that is possible.
Young asked what the recommendation of the BAC was. Neal said it was to describe it as an
“all-in” basis. Young asked if that is a 4.6% increase on the entire employee compensation
pool, net of census. Kotchevar said that figure is 4.1% for Version 2.0 and 4.8% for Version
1.0. Young asked if the people who began on the step program began under market for their
job. Neal said that was correct, noting they are worked up in progression with increases
based on performance. He noted the BAC recommendation was that “all-in” wages be
increased 4.1% in 2008 and 3.4% in 2009.
Duckstad asked if granting a wage increase in that manner means that wage increase is equal
to or greater than the cost-of-living index. Neal said we do look at the cost of living, but we
look more at what market wages are doing for our peer cities. We are cognizant of the cost-
of-living index for urban consumers in the Twin Cities area. A couple of years ago our wage
increases were below the CPI, and last year the wage increases were slightly above the CPI.
Duckstad asked if there was a reason why fringe benefits were not added to the wage
increases when they were presented to the BAC. Neal said we tried to provide as much line-
item detail as possible to the BAC. We broke out wages and fringe benefits and detailed our
wage structure, how we compare to other cities, our step plan, health insurance, pension
programs and workers’ compensation. Duckstad said one of the papers generated by the
BAC indicated that if you include the wages and fringe benefits for 2008 and 2009 the total
increase would be 12.26%. Young said he did not think that takes into account changes in
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 5
census. Neal said if you take the entire cost of employing people who work here in 2008
with the projections we are talking about, it is an increase of 7.0% and that includes
increases in health insurance costs, pension costs, disability and life insurance. Aho asked
how many new employees are in that figure. Neal said it is the basic wage bill regardless of
census.
Nelson asked if employees pay part of the costs of the fringe benefits. Neal said there are
multiple plans and we gave that information to the BAC so the information is available, but
he did not have it with him. There are four different levels of plans, and there is a cost share
in place for each level. He said we can provide that information to the Council. Nelson noted
that piece is going up quite a bit. Neal said it was projected to go up more than 30% in the
coming year, but we took some corrective action earlier this year to realign the plan and to
shift some of the risk back to the employees. That brought it down from 30% to 17%.
Butcher asked what was meant by using the fund balance in Version 1.5. Kotchevar said in
2006 there were positive operating results of approximately $500,000 in excess of
designated reserves. Our typical practice was to transfer it to the CIP, but at a December
meeting Mayor Young indicated he wanted to earmark that and not necessarily dedicate that
to the CIP so that amount has not been included in the projections going out. Neal said that
provides the Council the opportunity to use those funds without having to make a change in
the CIP document. Young asked if the $500,000 was from the budget stabilization fund.
Kotchevar said it was not, it was excess operating funds after we reserved for the
stabilization fund. Neal said in the past if we had a windfall we used it for the CIP. He noted
that when we were talking about our budget process in 2005 we made a decision to transfer
like amounts into the revenue streams of 2006 and 2007, so what we are proposing here is
essentially the same thing as we did for the last two years.
Duckstad asked if currently the percentage of the budget that makes up wages is about 63%.
Kotchevar said it is about 63-64%.
Butcher said it seemed to her that we are talking a lot about basic philosophy and where we
are at on that. Young said staff gave a presentation on the budget scenarios and we should
ask questions about that presentation now. He was particularly interested in hearing about
the impact on the Community Center and has questions about the CIP. He thought we can
thereafter continue the more global discussion about the budget.
Neal said this year the Community Center is a big extra bite in the budget in terms of adding
something new to our operations. It is similar to last year when we added Fire Station 4 with
new staff and equipment that was over and above the general increase. The total extra costs
for the Community Center is about $900,000 and is broken down into $235,000 for utilities,
$315,000 for new operations and maintenance costs, $270,000 for new programming, and
$130,000 for the debt on the third sheet of ice. He said as part of the decision making
process for the Community Center project we decided we would monetize the ice rental
revenue stream to pay back the debt for the facility rather than using it to defray general
operating costs in the General Fund as we have in the past.
Nelson asked if this is new operating costs or total operating costs. Neal said the new
operating costs are about $900,000, of which $230,000 is attributable to operating the new

October 16, 2007
Page 6
sheet of ice. He said at the request of Councilmember Nelson earlier in the budget process,
the $230,000 attributable to the new sheet of ice is further broken into categories for debt,
utilities, cleaning, wages, and facility and equipment maintenance.
Duckstad said he assumed these are the best estimates because the original estimate was
$1.2 million. He asked what caused it to be cut back. Neal replied we are continuing to hone
in and be more precise on our operating costs. We are doubling the size of our Community
Center, but we have operated all the programs before so we have experience with what the
costs are to operate space like this. He thought it was important to remind ourselves that the
frame of reference for this is different from what it takes to run a home because this is a lot
more than that and we need a continual application of utilities to keep the block of ice
frozen.
Aho asked if this is only operating costs and does not include any new equipment and if it
will be pretty consistent going forward. Kotchevar said that is correct.
Young asked if the operating costs of $900,000 associated with the Community Center are
about one-half of the total increase in the Version 2.0 budget. Neal said that is correct. If we
did not have that addition to our budget this year, our budget increase would be about 3%.
Young asked what figures we had about the operation of the Community Center at the time
we went to referendum. Neal said we can pull that together because we kept the material that
we put together for the referendum, but he could not recall what those figures were.
Kotchevar said she sent the document on the CIP to the Council last Friday and she does not
have a planned presentation for tonight but will answer questions. She said the CIP
document includes all capital items scheduled for the next five years. She said the BAC
recommended that we take a better look at what actual City funds are spent on capital
improvements because the total for all items is such a big number. Of the total of about
$227,000,000 for all CIP projects, a total of about $35,000,000 will be taken out of City
funds. She said the Council will be approving the amount for CIP spending for 2008 and
2009 at the December meeting. She said she has detail on each of the budgets if there are
questions.
Mayor Young recessed the meeting at 5:15 PM and reconvened at 5:30 PM.
Young said it was difficult for him to remember what parts of the CIP have already been
approved and what parts are new. He noted on Page 9 of the CIP document there are a
number of projects that are paid for from the Capital Improvement Fund (CIF). He asked
why some of the parks improvement projects on the list are taken from the CIF and not from
the Parks fund. Kotchevar said there is not 100% discretion on how parks improvement
funds are spent. Lotthammer said, historically, if it is more of a maintenance situation it
comes out of the CIP, and it comes out of the Parks Fund if it is more of a full project.
Young thought a piece of the park referendum accelerated all the playground upgrades.
Lotthammer said it may have been for some of the playground upgrades, but going forward
the CIP would have been the funding source for some of the future upgrades. Young thought
the same thing was true for trails, because he knew there were referendum dollars for trails.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 7
Lotthammer said the CIP projects would be to do overlays and maintenance of the trails.
Dietz said there is $180,000 per year for trail maintenance. Lotthammer noted we have over
100 miles of asphalt trails and 80 miles of concrete sidewalks in the City. Dietz noted when
we began to do pavement maintenance on roads we started to include dollars for annual
maintenance on our trails.
Young asked Ms Jeremiah how far along we are in the streetscape and wayfinding
allocations from the Economic Development Fund. Jeremiah said the design and detailed
cost estimates are expected to be discussed at a Council workshop in December. Neal noted
it is scheduled for the December 18 workshop.
Neal asked Mr. Lotthammer to clarify if there are some statutory issues on how you spend
park improvement dollars. Lotthammer it is not always as clear as we would like, but
generally we cannot spend it if it is an on-going operating and maintenance issue. Those
dollars have to go to more of a capital project, although there are some gray areas.
Nelson said so you could use park fees for a brand new trail, but you could not use park fees
if you were doing crack filling on that trail. Lotthammer said that was correct.
Young then opened general discussion about the budget. He said there are a variety of
issues. One issue is the various budget versions, and there are other issues such as changes
in service levels and uses of the budget stabilization funds to buy down taxation. We also
have the BAC recommendations and what to do with those for such items as the elimination
of the CIP levy and changes in wages.
Nelson asked about the difference between what the BAC recommended on wages and the
Version 3.0 recommendation. Kotchevar said for 2008 the BAC concurred with Version 2.0,
and recommended a slight decrease for 2009. She said for every 0.5% decrease, there is an
approximate $70,000 savings. Nelson said so their recommendation for 2008 does not really
affect the total, nor are we talking about a large amount of money for the recommended
decrease for 2009.
Butcher said overall when you compare the highest budget version, Version 1.0, with a tax
increase of $58 per year on a MSFH to the most austere version, Version 4.0, with a $49 tax
decrease, there is not a great deal of discrepancy between the two figures. She would like to
look at this a little more moderately and she thought Version 1.5 brings in a lot of the
perspectives we have heard from residents. She suggested we start with discussing one of
the versions, such as Version 1.5. She thought it was hard to focus in on all the discrete areas
and it might be easier to start at the larger level and drill down.
Duckstad said he wants to consider all the versions, but he is more interested in Version 3.0
to the extent it is a reachable possibility. He said Version 3.0 calls for increased spending of
$1,000,000, and it raises the possibility of one of the recommendations of the BAC, to
consider a temporary suspension of the CIP levy. According to the information he read, the
CIP levy has been in existence since about 1999 and currently has a total fund balance of
$9,200,000. The CIP levy is paid into this along with the liquor store revenues. He thought
consideration ought to be given to suspending the CIP levy for at least the 2008 cycle and
possibly for the 2009 cycle. He thought there were sufficient funds in the CIF to sustain that
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 8
kind of a cut. He also thought there is no reason why some of the projects that are under
consideration couldn’t at least be held up temporarily in 2008 and 2009. Last year we had a
$15,500,000 Community Center project, and he thought we should realistically look at how
much we should do at one time. Now we are considering the considerable start-up costs of
almost $1,000,000, and he thought there are grounds for the Council to consider slowing up
some of the other projects, much in the nature of Bob Lambert’s suggestion to suspend some
of the parks projects and programs for a while. He said the BAC talked about combining the
Economic Development fund and the CIP fund which would give a total of $10,200,000.
Young asked if Council Member Duckstad was suggesting reducing the levy or suspending
it. Duckstad said he thought we should suspend it temporarily because we have adequate
funds in the CIP and Economic Development funds to progress with City needs.
Nelson said if you take the $1,000,000 out, that would offset the Community Center. She
cautioned it will be easy to take it off but hard to put it back on, and we then have the issue
of when do we put the whole thing back and take the increase in taxes. If you assume we
never put it back, then at some time you have to go up to a $1,600,000 levy per year to keep
capital improvements. She thought it just depends on how we want to run the CIF. She could
see if you wanted to offset the $900,000 we could bring the CIP back to $600,000 and next
year it would be easier to put some of the money back. She could see taking it down for a
year or two with the assumption of bringing it back.
Young asked Kotchevar for background on the CIP and how we got to where we are today.
Kotchevar clarified that the $9,200,000 was the balance at the time she presented it, and the
$8,000,000 is the actual projection for the end of the year. The CIP fund was originally
started when the City was rapidly growing and we were collecting a lot of interest from
special assessment projects. Because of a low percentage of delinquent taxes and good
General Fund operating results, we could transfer $500,000 to $2,000,000 in excess funds
into the CIP. A couple of years ago we converted the amount for the CIP levy to $1,000,000.
Young asked if there is any type of accounting or budgeting logic behind the $1,000,000
figure. Kotchevar said that is what we are projecting out, and we thought it was prudent to
levy something every year so we could stretch the fund out longer. Young asked if the levy
is tied to any particular project or group of projects. Kotchevar replied it is not tied directly
to any project. Dietz noted the biggest bite is pavement management, and our street system
is getting older.
Butcher said she was part of the original group that thought it was a good idea to have a
Capital Improvement Plan and set some money aside every year. She asked how we can
responsibly look at all the projects and not think that we have to put money away every year.
She said her worry is that we are not putting enough away because we are spending down
every year. When you look at what you need compared to what you have, she could not
disagree more with a discussion that we should put in less money. She thought it would
definitely hurt not to continue to put money away for these essential projects. She also
thought it was important to understand we had a referendum and our residents spoke and
gave their approval, knowing that this year might be a year when there would be a budget
increase. She said she wanted to be honest and to have the budget to appear as it is.

Young said he wanted more feedback from staff about the Economic Development fund. He
understood it was originally created to help grow jobs. He also understood that since it was
created we approved the Major Center Area (MCA) and gave some consideration of using
the fund for the MCA. It is appearing to him more like a CIF rather than an Economic
Development fund, and he wanted to know how it would be used in the future. Jeremiah
thought there has been a shift based on the MCA study in regard to the allocation of those
funds; however, she thought the streetscape and wayfinding will benefit the businesses in
that area in the long run. She thought the key is that it is to directly aid businesses and the
MCA study just evolved how we would be using that fund. If there is a preference to go
back to the original primary use of that fund as gap financing, that could be done.
Duckstad said he didn’t make the suggestion of eliminating the CIP fund levy himself, but it
came up as a result of a very pensive study by the BAC. As he understood it, the need for
the levy each year is cloudy. He has not been apprised of what specific projects will be
initiated and paid for in 2008 and 2009, but he was not under the impression it would use the
entire $9,000,000, so it seemed reasonable to suspend it if it would not interfere with
projects.
Young asked if we have closed on the sale of land to Presbyterian Homes. Neal said we
gave them an extension at the last council meeting. Jeremiah said it is now scheduled for the
middle of January. Young asked where that money as well as the proceeds from the sale of
the remnant from Fire Station 4 would go. Jeremiah said the current policy is to put it in the
Economic Development fund, but that is at the Council’s discretion.
Butcher said it is important to know where the CIP money goes. She did read the BAC
report and noted it represented a lot of hard work, but she wholeheartedly disagreed with
their recommendation about the CIP funds. She said the City Manager also disagreed with
the BAC. She noted they are an advisory board, but more importantly we have to get the
question answered of where the money goes. Kotchevar said there is a detailed listing of all
projects on pages 9 and 10 of the draft CIP Detail. She said there is $4,300,000 planned to
be spent in 2008 and $2,850,000 in 2009.
Dietz noted the total for the five-year CIP projects is almost $15,000,000 and the fund
balance is $8,000,000 now. Adding $1,000,000 per year for the five years will bring the total
fund balance to $13,000,000, or a shortfall of $2,000,000.
Aho asked what other funding sources we have for the CIP and if the information shown on
Page 7 of the draft CIP Detail listed those funding sources. Kotchevar replied the
information on Page 7 is a summary of the expenditures that will be paid from the funding
sources. The Liquor Store profits go into the CIP, so in the summary those profits are listed
as expenditures from the Liquor Fund. Aho asked what the funding sources are. Neal said
there are four components: the liquor store; the levy; and the market value homestead credit,
which is a state property tax relief program where we grant tax relief and the state backfills
that number. He noted the property tax relief program has had some history of unreliability,
so we have decided to include that as a CIP funding source rather than including it in
operating revenue. He said it is not indexed to inflation and the number will continue to be
less. Young asked if we have received that check. Kotchevar said it is scheduled for
December. Neal said the fourth revenue component is the General Fund balance.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 10
Aho thought we had another source from the budget stabilization fund if we have an excess
over the 15% in that fund. Young noted this year the proposal was to buy down the
operating budget with that fund.
Nelson asked if there is interest earned on the fund balances. Kotchevar said interest is
calculated into the projection. Nelson asked how much that is per year. Kotchevar said it is
about $200,000 per year.
Dietz noted that the category, GTA Funding Under Review, is actually a category set up for
revenue from unknown sources. He said we will get a good share of revenue in that category
from Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds. No transportation projects are funded out of the
General Fund because the usual funding source for those is the MSA account and special
assessments. He noted the BAC said there should be a higher proportion of cost for the
Major Center Area (MCA) paid by businesses. He said the amount of transportation
improvements in this budget is nil, and there is a huge amount of pent-up demand for
projects. Because our system is relatively new, we spend about $2,000,000 per year to
maintain it, but that cost will increase. We hope someday to offset the maintenance costs
with a street utility, but we don’t have that right now. He said our City road system is worth
$225,000,000 and as the system ages we will soon run short of funds to maintain it if we
keep the spending level at $2,000,000 unless there are other sources of revenue.
Duckstad noted the CIP levy has gone on since 1999 and has not always been at the
$1,000,000 level. He noted the fund has grown to $9,000,000 and we apparently have not
had huge demands on the fund such that the present issue of temporarily suspending the levy
makes sense. Neal gave an analogy with the Social Security trust fund where we are now
paying more into that fund than we are taking out, but every demographic study shows that
at some point that will reverse and there will be more taken out of the fund than is put into it.
He said we look at the capital improvements in Eden Prairie as a similar situation. We know
the CIP fund balance will be zero in a very predictable time if we don’t change the way we
spend it or increase the input to the fund.
In terms of anticipating how much spending we will do on different things that could come
out of the CIP such as building maintenance, Aho asked if the numbers being presented
today are based on accurate looks at analytical data about infrastructure costs and anticipated
maintenance or are they just guesses. Neal replied we feel the numbers are accurate. The
facilities numbers are based on a detailed report put together a couple of years ago by
Facilities Manager Paul Sticha that listed the details of every physical facility we own with
the anticipated replacement and maintenance for each component of the facility. He said we
blend that information into the larger CIP fund. He noted Mr. Dietz and his staff have a
pretty good understanding of the utility and transportation side, as does Mr. Lotthammer on
the Parks side.
Aho thought the roadways are a larger component of the costs and asked how confident we
are in the estimates to maintain and replace those. Young interjected that he struggles with
something of a disconnect when we say we need funding to maintain the road system, but
there is no part of the CIP that includes that. Dietz said there is $2,000,000 for overlays.
Young said, beyond that, if it is a real concern for the City, we should be putting money
away for that and not use it as a justification to keep the levy. Dietz said some of the costs of
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 11
the overlays are in the operating budget and always have been. He thought we are looking at
three choices within ten years: a permanent funding source for pavement maintenance;
increased taxes; or a massive special assessment. We have been consistent in putting as
much as we can towards maintenance, but right now this amount just barely gets us there.
He said his point is that we are woefully under funded in the long term, and to reduce the
levy flies in the face of what we are seeing.
Neal suggested that we should consider the risk of what happens to that CIP levy in the
future if we are under levy limits. He thought we need to remember that, if the Council
should decide to suspend the levy and there is a change in the legislature and they decide
that we need to have levy limits, under most circumstances the Council would not have the
discretion to add that back. He thought if the idea is to temporarily suspend the levy and re-
impose it at some time in the future, there is a risk that we could not do that.
Duckstad noted as recently as 2004 the levy was only at $500,000. He said we have had the
levy for nine years and accumulated a total of $9,000,000. In the past there has not been a
need for the full amount of money levied. His concern is that we take money every year
from the citizens in the community and put it in a fund that grows and grows, yet many of
the residents need that money. He thought if there is an issue of the fund balance being too
low, then you have to raise the levy, but he is suggesting at this time it is too high so there is
not a need for the levy.
Butcher asked what the $1,000,000 levy translates to for each homeowner. Nelson said it is
about $33 for a MSFH per year. Young said he did not like an argument for the levy that is
based on the yearly tax impact. Butcher thought it was important because it helps
homeowners to understand the concept.
Young said he agreed with Council Member Duckstad’s sentiment that, all things being
equal, he would rather have dollars in the taxpayers’ pockets. He said a pet issue of his is
how much money in actuality is going into the CIP. In our budget we assumed a 5%
delinquency in taxes, knowing full well that over 99% of taxes come in, and so the 4% was
dumped into the CIP. He thought this is not clear when you look at the balance sheet, and he
thought we should abandon that practice.
Duckstad said the temporary suspension would not put the City in jeopardy of not having a
realistic capital improvement budget. Young thought there is not a comfort level in
eliminating the levy and it would be a hard sell.
Aho said right now it is set at an arbitrary level, and he thought we could look at making an
adjustment to the levy. We could look at temporarily lowering it to offset the increase we are
seeing because of the Community Center. We did have a referendum to approve the
Community Center, but the non-recurring costs came in much higher than the referendum
amount. He wasn’t sure people generally understood that additional on-going maintenance
costs would be close to $1,000,000 per year. He thought when we are getting hit with a step
function in one year it would be good to offset that increase by lowering the CIP to some
degree for one year, and that would be his recommendation.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES

Neal thought the Council can be prudent for the future with the CIP and Equipment levy,
maintain our general service levels and also address the impact on the taxpayers by
addressing the budget through Version 1.5. The increase in general spending will be very
close to that of our peer cities around here because they had to certify their preliminary
levies just as we did. He thought this enables us to provide a low impact for taxpayers in
terms of that they are going to pay, and our colleagues in the peer cities are going to be very
hard pressed to match this tax impact.
Regarding the percentage increases, Aho said in Version 1.5 for 2008 there is a 5.5%
increase and a 2.8% increase for 2009. The increase over the two years is actually the
change from 2007 to 2009 and that is a higher percentage than the sum of the increases in
the two years. He thought that is a significant amount of increase and that concerned him.
Nelson suggested looking at Version 1.5 as having a 2.5% increase in spending for 2008
plus the amount per year for the Community Center which is about 3%. There is a 2.8%
increase in spending for 2009 plus the 3% additional for the Community Center. She noted
the new Community Center costs will be consistent but people passed a referendum saying
they wanted it. She thought this is a relatively lean budget that still provides for the
operating needs of the City.
Aho was concerned that the City is 95-98% built out and the population demographics of
Eden Prairie are flattening out. He did not want to see our budget growing at a higher rate
than our population base because that means someone has to make up the difference. Nelson
thought 2.5% or 3% is at or near inflation. Kotchevar noted the implicit price deflator for the
City is 4.3% for this year. Nelson said people call her and say they want value for their
money and, except for the extra costs for the Community Center, it looks like they are
getting pretty good value.
Dietz noted the Guide Plan update that will be available around the end of the year shows an
increase in population of 12,000 people, and some of what is included in the CIP is getting
ready for that increase. The category of MCA Funding Under Review includes projects that
will accommodate and anticipate the population increase. Aho thought we were at about 62-
63,000 population and were expected to top out at 72,000 in ten years. Dietz said we are at
65,000, and we think we may go up to about 77,000.
Young closed the workshop at 6:30 PM.

Richard Proops, 9408 Clubhouse Road, said he had two subjects to address. First, he
thought most of the Council discussion during the workshop related to adjustments
to the General Fund, and he thought the budget reductions should be made to the

total budget. He said if the CIP fund were reduced $1,000,000, there would be no
need to look at the General Fund to arrive at the Version 3.0 budget. Second, he
thought the subject of wage increases should be addressed because wages and
benefits account for 70% of the General Fund expenditures. He also thought the
Council should request periodic reports on capital expenditures.
C. KATHY BOWMAN – BUDGET
Kathy Bowman, 11592 Mt. Curve Blvd., said she was against the proposed cuts to
the Human Services budget. She said the various human services provided have been
very important in maintaining the balance of income levels in our community even
though they amount to a very small part of the budget. She thought we need to be
welcoming and have innovative programs to promote diversity in our community.

XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 24-2007 RELATING TO SNOW
REMOVAL ON SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS AND ADOPT RESOLUTION
NO. 2007-112 APPROVING SUMMARY ORDINANCE FOR
PUBLICATION
Dietz said the first reading of the Ordinance to remove snow from adjacent
sidewalks and adjacent trails in certain locations was granted during a regular
meeting of the Eden Prairie City Council on October 2, 2007. The following
modifications were made to the Ordinance in preparation for this second and final
reading:
1) Language was added to clarify the sidewalks and trails that will be the
responsibility of adjacent property owners is limited to those that are abutting
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 4
public streets and specifically excludes those that are between homes and in
back yards.
2) All reference to utilization of sand and salt to control ice has been removed
from the Ordinance.
3) Scenic Heights Road was added to the list of roadways for which the City will
be responsible for snow removal from trails/sidewalks.
4) Minor editorial comments.
Dietz said one of the things we talked about was how to best deal with the elderly
and accommodate their special needs. He spoke with Mary Keating of the Housing
and Community Services staff who said the Home Outside Maintenance for the
Elderly (HOME) program is available for snow removal for residents aged 60 and
over. He noted the HOME program is one of those subsidized by the City. Snow
removal is available to residents aged 60 and over on a sliding fee basis. Staff
continues to explore the possibility of programs that may be available to physically-
challenged residents. He noted staff is recommending that no special provision be
made for military personnel on active duty. He thought the first year would be a test
case as to how to deal with some of the limitations our residents might have and he
thought there would be resources available. If second reading of the ordinance is
approved tonight, staff will prepare a direct mailing to each property owner in the
City. The mailing would encourage residents to lend a helping hand to neighbors
that may be of need and would include information about the HOME program, a
staff contact and phone number, and the City’s website address.
Young said he heard Mr. Dietz say it would probably be done on a complaint basis
and he asked what the ordinance contemplates. Dietz said the ordinance provides
that if people do not plow sidewalks within 24 hours, they would receive a posted
or mailed notice that gives them another 24 hours to plow. He said we would not do
inspections but will deal with this on a complaint basis.
Young then asked when the ordinance would take effect. Dietz said it would be
effective on publication in the newspaper and would be in place for the first
snowfall if it is adopted tonight.
Young noted there was some discussion when we had the joint meeting with the
School Board about whether penalties or fines would be put in place during the first
year. Dietz said the ordinance has no penalties or fines. If the plowing is not done
24 hours after the notice is given to do it, the City would remove the snow and then
would bill the property owner for the actual cost of the snow removal.
Young asked if a written notice would be given if there is a complaint. Dietz said it
would be posted at the house. Young then asked if the department will inspect the
property again at the end of the 24 hours before anything else is done. He said he
assumed we would knock on doors and try to find out if there is someone home.
Dietz said staff knows there will be difficulties but we are just going to have to
struggle through this first year using resources that are available such as the HOME
program.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 16, 2007

Aho asked, if it appears that there is no one home, will there be any attempt to
contact the resident by phone or some other method. Dietz said he thought that
would be difficult or impossible to do unless we have some information in advance
about their being gone for the winter. He thought someone will be caught in that
situation this winter, and it will cost them $50-$100 to remove the snow, but this is
the way other communities do business and he thought we just have to break into
something like this. He said staff will be reacting to complaints only and will not go
out looking for unplowed property.
Butcher said she knew this is a big change for the community and people are
anxious about it. She thought that after this first year we should revisit the
ordinance and see how we could tweak it to make it better. She suggested residents
feel free to call City Hall and see what this means to them and see if they fit the
criteria for receiving assistance. Dietz said there is a front page article about this on
the City website with a map that marks the responsibility of the adjacent property
owners with a red or light blue line.
Nelson said she was concerned about our not looking into the situations where there
is a family with a National Guard member who is overseas. She would like to have
some kind of program whereby they could request assistance in advance. She did
not like to just brush off these situations and she thought there may not be too many
families where this is the case. The other Council Members agreed with her. Dietz
said we will endeavor to make a provision for that, although we don’t know who
will be in that situation.
Rosow said there are two mechanisms in the ordinance that provide for the Council
to weigh in and that could provide relief in those situations. It is not an automatic
determination that the City sends someone out to plow if it is determined it is a
nuisance. There will be an opportunity to interface with someone if there is
someone at home, and at that point the department can determine if there are special
circumstances. If someone does not pay for the cost, it gets assessed and the only
way that occurs is at a hearing. At that point individuals come before the Council
and can explain the situation to the Council, and the Council has the discretion to
not assess that cost.
Dietz noted the motion is in two parts because it includes the authorization of an
amendment to the 2007 CIP budget to include the expenditure of $116,500 for
additional equipment for sidewalk snow removal.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Aho, to approve Second Reading of
Ordinance 24-2007 relating to snow removal on sidewalks and trails; to adopt
Resolution 2007-112 approving summary for publication; and to authorize an
amendment to the 2007 Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) budget to include the
expenditure of $116,500 for additional equipment for sidewalk snow removal.
Motion carried 5-0.

1. Dunn Bros./Smith-Douglas-More-House
Jeremiah said the current 5-year lease between the City and Dunn Bros for
use of the Smith-Douglas-More House will expire at the end of this year.
Over the past few months, staff has been negotiating terms for a new lease
with the franchise entity (Puregrace LLC) that has been subleasing the
property from Dunn Bros since October 1, 2006. Although Dunn Bros has
honored their lease, they indicated back in 2004 that the store was operating
at a loss and they or their franchisee would need a significant rent reduction
before they could renew a lease. Over the past two months the idea of
selling the property emerged and the City had the property appraised at
$565,000. Both Puregrace and Dunn Bros have indicated they will not
pursue a purchase at the appraised value, but Puregrace is prepared to renew
a 12-18 month lease with an annual net rent of $33,250 which includes
$18,000 from Puregrace and $15,250 from a prospective subtenant. In
addition, Puregrace will pay 5% of gross sales over $30,000 per month. The
tenant will pay the utilities, and the City will pay for outside maintenance,
exterior repairs, HVAC maintenance, taxes, expanded parking and an upper
level fire exit.
Jeremiah said staff is recommending that a new lease between the City and
Puregrace be prepared in agreement with the proposal, except staff
recommends to not pursue the parking lot expansion and the upper level first
exit requested by Puregrace unless the tenant agrees to pay more rent or to
commit to a five-year lease.
Young asked if the current rent is $67,000 annually and they have paid taxes
on it of about $15,000 and exterior maintenance of $5,500 per year, for a
total payment of about $88,000. Jeremiah said that was correct. He asked if
the proposed lease between the City and Puregrace is for $33,250, including
$15,250 with a subtenant. Jeremiah said that was correct and we would
expect that Puregrace would handle the sublease. She said the net amount to
the City according to the new terms would be only about $12,000, a
significant reduction. Young then asked how she arrived at the net amount
of $12,000. Jeremiah said that was after subtracting taxes and outside
maintenance from the total rent of $33,250 per year.
Young asked if, in order for this particular subtenant to occupy the building,
they would need some type of improvement or change and it is expected that

we pay for that. Jeremiah said they are requesting we pay for the expanded
parking which would be approximately $33,000, and for the upper level fire
exit which would be $12,000. She noted staff is not agreeing to those terms
unless they increase the rent amount and the terms of the lease to five years.
Young asked what Puregrace will sign, as of today. Jeremiah said with they
will sign with the terms proposed, but staff is recommending that we go
back and negotiate with them further to extend the lease or to release the
City from the obligation of doing the parking lot improvement and the fire
exit.
Young asked what efforts we have undertaken to find out if there are other
potential tenants interested in the property. Jeremiah said we have not done
any search for other tenants, but this one-year lease would enable us to do
that and also pursue other buyers. Young then asked if we could put
Puregrace on a month-to-month basis. Dave Lindahl, Economic
Development staff, said he had a short conversation with Ann Schuster of
Puregrace, and he thought she would entertain a month-to-month lease.
Young said we are 2-1/2 months from the expiration of the lease. He wasn’t
thrilled with the lease terms as it is substantially less than the current lease,
but he did not want to see the property stand vacant. He would like to see
the City to explore what other options are available, whether it would be to
explore a better lease or what the property could sell for.
Butcher thought there is a greater issue here, and it is a philosophical
question. She said it is a question of what does the community think is the
value of maintaining ownership of a historic property. It has evolved into a
gathering place for a variety of groups in the community, and we need to ask
what that means to the community because in the past people had an interest
in that. She said the third thing is how we feel about public access, that is,
are we interested in selling this so that the community would not have public
access to it. She thought rather than making a decision as to whether this is
the right lease we should have a philosophical discussion on the Council and
make a decision on what we think is the value of this property to the
community.
Duckstad said he would be in favor of a month-to-month lease that would
give additional time for us to explore what would be in the best interest of
the City.
Aho said he was in favor of a month-to-month lease at this time because it
would give us time to evaluate. We have had some ongoing discussions with
community groups, and there is some interest in keeping public access to the
facility. He thought there are opportunities to do that in a unique way, and
this would give them time to evaluate it and see if it might fit for them.
Nelson said she would like to see it remain something that is open to the
public but would also like to see the City have ultimate ownership of it. If
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 8
we can keep a contract of some kind on it, we can make sure the inside stays
historic, but we need to have it open and available to the public. She would
agree to a month-to-month lease, but she thought we need to do the parking
lot expansion because that might make a big difference for this tenant or any
future enterprise. She said we should discuss putting a parking lot expansion
on it, or at least something where you can turn around if there are no parking
spaces open. She would like to give this tenant a real chance because it has
become a meeting place, and she thought any place that makes high school
students like history and historic buildings has some value.
Butcher agreed with Council Member Nelson. She said since we probably
won’t have a dialogue tonight about the philosophical perspective of the
entire City Council, she would agree to have an interim lease so we can at
least have the discussion.
Young thought going forward on a month-to-month lease makes sense, but
the question is what other direction we give staff in the interim. Nelson said
she thought we need to give this tenant a shot at really making it and paying
us more. Duckstad said he would give them enough direction so they could
explore every reasonable possibility. He would not want to agree to the need
for a parking lot expansion at this time, but it could be kept open as a
negotiation point. Aho said he agreed and he would not vote to do the
parking lot at this time.
Butcher thought when we first looked at leasing this property we didn’t
really know what would happen and she thought Dunn Bros. didn’t know
either. We were all hopeful there would be a better revenue stream coming
in, but we were really just guessing at the lease. She was not set on the
original number because it was arbitrary. She thought we have a treasure
with Puregrace and Dunn Bros. being in the community and we need to
continue to work with them. We do have a revenue stream, people do know
what is located in that building and they do want to participate in supporting
it. She did not think there was a strong need to change what we have or to
go out and seek other kinds of leases. She thought there may be another
compromise for the parking lot, and we should work further with the staff
on that.
Young said he assumed Dunn Bros. had some projections about operations
that supported the lease terms and it has been in business for five years now.
The dollar amount being proposed is a substantial reduction from what we
told people would pay back the capital expenditures. He would like to direct
staff to look for other possible tenants to see if we can get more rent, but he
did not hear that from the other Council Members. He asked if there was
sentiment on the Council to lock these rates for 12-18 months.
Aho said he would agree to 12 months at most and would be open to looking
at other opportunities to lease the property. He would like to see it remain a
facility that has public access because community members have expressed
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 16, 2007
Page 9
an interest in keeping it available as a public access. The question we have
as a Council is whether we are willing to pay for that. He would prefer the
month-to-month route with 12 months at the outside so we can look at other
options. He said, if we go 12 months, he would like staff to work with the
leasee to negotiate a little better lease than what we are seeing here.
Butcher said she would agree to going with the 12 month lease. She didn’t
think there is any need to change this quickly and 12 months would give us
more time to work within this lease and deal with the question of how that
site might better fit the needs of Dunn Bros.
Nelson said she liked going with 12 months because it gives us breathing
room and gives us time to raise some funds to get it the way we want it to
be, both from an historic perspective and for business purposes.
Duckstad said he had no objections to either a 12 month or a month-to-
month lease so we have enough time to agree on what we want to do with
the property.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Nelson to direct staff to prepare a
new lease for 12 months between the City of Eden Prairie and Puregrace,
LLC (a Dunn Bros Coffee Franchisee) at the Smith-Douglas-More Property
located at 8107 Eden Prairie Road per the terms outlined in the staff memo
but without the expansion of the parking lot and the upper level fire exit.
Aho asked if we are leaving any room for negotiating by staff or are we
accepting it on face. Butcher said her motion was as stated in the
memorandum.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 4-0-1 with Aho opposed.
Nelson asked if we could pass a motion to instruct staff to look into working
with some outside organizations or foundations to see if there could be some
private funds raised to improve the outside maintenance or parking lot.
Young said he was not sure if we would need a motion to do that. Nelson
then asked if we could just make the suggestion to staff to do that. Young
thought that was a fine idea.
Dietz said he heard the suggestion, and staff will endeavor to do that.

I. 2008-2009 BUDGET DISCUSSION
Mayor Young called the workshop to order and noted he would like to start by getting rid of
some of the budget options as he thought there were too many. He suggested discussion start
with Version 1.8, find out if we have a plurality of the Council Members in agreement, and
then add changes either up or down to that. Aho and Nelson agreed with that as a starting
point. Butcher said she didn’t mind starting there, but she would like to go back to the last
workshop and pick up Version 1.5. She noted she did not want to drop any of the versions.
Duckstad said he agreed with starting at Version 1.8, subject to further discussion. Young
then asked City Manager Neal to outline Version 1.8.
Neal said Version 1.8 is essentially Version 1.5 with CIP levy reductions. City operations
would be at Version 2.0 levels with transfers in and temporary reductions in the annual CIP
levy to produce a budget proposal with annual spending increases below 5% and annual City
tax increases below 1%. In Version 1.8 the budget increase for 2008 is 4.8% and for 2009 is
3.1%. Operational levels are at Version 2.0 levels, except that the two Full Time Employees
(FTE’s) in Housing and Community Services are added back in, and outsourced human
services contracts are restored to 2007 funding levels. All new amenities at the Community
Center are opened for 2008 as they become available. Version 1.8 includes a market wage
increase for city employees of 3.0% in both 2008 and 2009. He reviewed the 2008 tax
impacts on three property categories, noting there will be a $9 increase (0.86%) for a
Median Single Family Home (MSFH), a $569 increase (3.27%) for a $5,000,000 Apartment,
and a $960 increase (5.47%) for a $2,000,000 Commercial/Industrial property. Based on the
assessor’s best estimate of what values may be doing in 2009, there will be a $9 increase
(0.76%) for a MSFH, a $569 increase (3.27%) for a $5,000,000 Apartment, and a $389
increase (5.60%) for a $2,000,000 Commercial/Industrial property in 2009.
Neal said Version 1.8 includes the change discussed at the last workshop to temporarily
lower the CIP levy to provide some level of tax relief during the upcoming year when we are
taking on new operational costs at the new Community Center. The levy would be reduced
by $250,000 in 2008 and by $100,000 in 2009. He said staff recommends the levy be
restored by 2010 or at least re-evaluated.
Nelson asked why the numbers for the Commercial/Industrial property tax impact are almost
the same for the amount taxed for both years but the percentages are completely different.
Neal said that is because of the levy reduction.

Neal then presented a sample tax statement for a MFSH in the Eden Prairie School District
and the Riley-Purgatory Creek-Bluff Creek Watershed District that showed a net tax
increase of 1.85% for all taxing entities, which he said was a historically low number.
Referring to the key features of Version 1.8, Duckstad asked what was meant by a market
wage increase. Neal said we participate in a number of different salary surveys to test our
total compensation levels with those of other cities and with the private sector for many of
our job classes. He distributed a handout, noting the first page summarized the latest
Employers’ Association wage trend survey. He said that is mostly a private sector
organization and the information explains what their members are looking at in terms of
wages for 2007-2008. Duckstad asked how much of the information is for the public sector
versus private sector. Neal said the first page has wage data from the 225-member
Employers’ Association, so almost all of that is from the private sector. He said there is
information on the second page that specifically compares base wage increases for other city
governments for 2008-2009. He said these are most of the cities that we compare ourselves
to in regard to many things including maintenance budgets and staffing levels.
Duckstad asked if most of the cities have an increase for 2008 of about 3%. Neal said that
was correct. Duckstad asked if these are the cities we typically compare ourselves to because
they are more comparable than other cities. Neal said they are more comparable in terms of
levels of operations and other demographics.
Young asked if the 3% market wage increase is an “all-in” number, or is it exclusive of step
increases. Neal replied it is exclusive of step increases. Young then asked what the increase
would be if the step increase were factored in. Neal said he didn’t know what that would be.
Duckstad asked if any of the other cities use a step and performance increase in addition to a
wage increase like we do. Neal said it is a fairly common public sector pay system so he
suspects they do. Duckstad then asked if the handout does not include the total wage
increases for all the cities. Neal said the explanation at the top of the graph states the base
increase reflects salary movement only and all cities will give step increases in addition to
base increases. Duckstad asked if the diagram indicates how much the step or performance
increases are. Neal said it does not. Duckstad asked if that information is available. Neal
said it is information we can gather.
Aho asked what effect the addition of performance increases would have in terms of our
budget process. Neal said it is hard to characterize as it only applies to about a third of our
work force, which means about 2/3 of the employees are not in the step program. In addition
various employees are at various steps within the plan. Aho asked what the total percentage
is. Neal said it is about a 1% difference. Aho asked what the total would be for all wage-
related cost increases. Neal said the total, or “all-in” number, is 4.1%, with the base increase
of 3% and 1.1% for step and performance increases.
Young asked if the 6.7% increase for 2008 in Version 1.8 for the General Fund includes the
general operational costs of running the City. Neal said that was a fair characterization.
Duckstad asked how the proposed wage increase in Version 1.0 compares to the proposed
wage increase in Version 1.8. Neal said for 2008 Version 1.0 had a 3.5% base wage increase
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 3
and a 4.8% “all-in” increase, and for 2009 there was a 3.5% base increase and a 4.2% “all-
in” increase. Duckstad asked how much that was reduced in Version 2.0. Neal said in
Version 2.0 the 2008 base wage increase was 3% and 3.25% in 2009. Duckstad then asked if
the Version 1.8 increase is the same as Version 2.0. Neal said it is actually less in Version
1.8.
Butcher thought we need to go back to talk about the policies that impact any budget that we
might select. This one is particularly disturbing to her, because we didn’t make a decision
when we were talking about the CIP levy at the last meeting. She would like to pull back
and talk about the policy of the CIP and what we have really depended on in terms of that
policy. We are a policy-making board and our policies are very important. She thought we
need to have a policy discussion first and make a decision on what we are going to do about
it before we see a change in it. As we all talked about last time, since 1999 we have had a
financial policy to contribute $1,000,000 per year to the CIP, and we have had no decisions
to change that policy. She thought this policy is one of the reasons we have been awarded
the AAA bond rating and the Distinguished Budget Award. Noting the policy is an
important statement in this dialogue, she proceeded to read the Financial Policy. She said
she thought it is clear that we need to invest more and not less in our City infrastructure to
protect our capital assets. She noted our strategic plan and mission is to keep a steady road
of paying as we go rather than experiencing much higher tax increases in the future. She
thought it is also wise to look at what other cities around us are doing because that is one of
the markers we have when we make decisions. She noted Minnetonka is similar to us in
many ways, and she understood they levy about $5,000,000 for their roads and capital
investments and also have a $2,000,000 levy for capital expenses. She thought we need to
have this conversation and make a decision before we start making changes to the money we
have agreed to for years and years.
Young thought it is hard to compare one city to another and, whether we levy for $1,000,000
or $500,000, those dollars are not being dedicated to the $225,000,000 total needed for
infrastructure projects. He didn’t think anyone has suggested a change from prudent
financial planning. We are in a time now when we have a certain level in our CIP fund and
in our Economic Development fund, and we have received some one time dollars from the
sale of properties. He asked if, in this unique time, we need to levy the same amount or,
taking into account we will receive significant one-time dollars, can we reduce that levy on a
temporary basis and give a break to the taxpayers in 2008.
Duckstad disagreed that this is only a policy argument. He said the CIP levy issue was
generated by the Budget Advisory Commission (BAC), which consisted of seven highly
qualified people. He thought when you look at the CIP fund there is more than just one fund
that now has $9.5 million. The Capital Project Fund has a total of $30,000,000. The BAC
asked if the levy is really needed in light of all the other circumstances in the City. In
addition to the $1,000,000 levy, it is funded by about $1,000,000 in liquor store proceeds.
He didn’t see anything on the horizon that has such an immediate need that by temporarily
reducing the levy we would jeopardize our capital building projects. We just got through
with the $18,500,000 investment in the Community Center, and he thought if we spend that
kind of money on that kind of project we need to hold up some other projects that aren’t
needed immediately so that we don’t drive the budget up unnecessarily or take money from
the taxpayers that we don’t really need at the moment. He did not think there is anything
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 4
about that particular fund in and of itself that pertains directly to the bond rating from
Moody Services. He concurred with the BAC recommendation on the issue and was in favor
of suspending the levy.
Young asked if Council Member Duckstad was in favor of suspending the entire CIP levy
by $1,000,000 for the next two years. Duckstad replied he would consider cutting it in half if
other Council Members were in favor of that.
Young noted Council Member Aho raised some questions about wages, and he wanted to
find out the direction on that subject. He asked if the Council Members proposed a change to
the 3.0% wage increase in Version 1.8. Duckstad said he would like to see a little more
information about the step and performance increase in other cities. His view on wages is
that he was in favor of our employees getting wage increases but was not sure what level
that increase should be. He saw some information from the BAC that projected wage
increases for 2008-2009 of 12.6%, and he was not sure at this point they should have that
kind of increase.
Young said he understood the 12% figure was an attempt to calculate the change in total
compensation from the City, taking into account the changes in census. Duckstad said he
thought the computation was based on the present salaries paid and the projected salaries in
2007 and 2009 and did include fringe benefits. Young asked if the figure related to the same
number of employees. Duckstad replied that was his understanding. Kotchevar said the total
of 12% is the increase between 2008 and 2009, and it includes wages, changes in census,
and changes in fringe benefits including health and dental insurance, pensions, disability,
life insurance and part-time wages. Neal noted that we characterize this as the wage bill.
Butcher said she wanted to clarify the BAC’s recommendation about the CIP fund. The
BAC’s vote on that recommendation was 3-2, so it was not unanimous. In addition one of
the commission members, Don Uram, was not present at that meeting and he has stated he
would have voted against it had he been present. She thought we should not “hang our hats”
on that recommendation because it was not a unanimous decision.
Young asked if there was agreement on suspending the CIP levy for the next two years and
if we agreed we don’t have enough information about the 3.0% wage increase proposed for
2008-2009. Duckstad said he was in favor of increases across the board but needed more
time to look at the exact figure.
Aho said in terms of the CIP fund he felt it is extremely critical the City maintain all our
properties. He thought we are doing a good job of that. When we look at a capital
improvement plan, we have things beyond just improvement and maintenance of facilities.
If we change the CIP funding to a degree, it doesn’t mean the buildings are going to fall
apart. He thought we do have an opportunity here to reduce the amount of the CIP levy for a
period of time, and he was very much in favor of reducing it. He thought a temporary
reduction of $500,000 would be in order for 2008 when we have some new facilities coming
on line and a lot of additional costs because of that. He said his hope is that the amount we
need for operating expenses for the Community Center will decrease over time as the
facility gets used more so the net impact on our budget will be lessened. He said we need to
fund the amenities as they come online and put them into service as they are available. He
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 5
thought we really need to be conscious of that impact and look to reduce the levy
temporarily.
Young asked Council Member Aho if his position was that he would support a CIP levy of
$500,000 for 2008. Aho said he would support $500,000 for 2008, and possibly increasing it
slightly for 2009 to $600,000 or $700,000. Young then asked him about his position on the
employee wage issue. Aho said he thought it is important to keep pace with the wage
increases that are required to meet the market, both in terms of the cities around us and to
keep pace with inflation. He thought we are doing that, and the 3.0% plus the 1.1% puts us
at a total of 4.1% which is a pretty good amount. He would like to see it be 3% in totality
because he did not like things to not be transparent. When we say the wage increase is 3%
and then there is another 1% for step increases, it gives the perception we are not packaging
it all together and he didn’t like that perception. He would like it presented as the total
number, not as separate pieces. Young then asked if he would like to see the total be 3.0%.
Aho said that was correct, but he could be flexible on that position.
Nelson said if necessary she could go along with the Version 1.8 CIP levy, but she was
concerned about it because we are already taking dollars from it in 2007 and proposing to
take another $250,000 out of it would be an even bigger reduction. She thought we need to
look long term to be sure that we have the money we need. She noted the homestead credit
could change as could the liquor store profits. She could compromise for one year and go to
the $750,000 amount, knowing we would be taking the extra money from 2007. She asked if
our bond rating will be affected if we go down to $750,000. Kotchevar said she did not think
it will have an immediate impact on our rating, but she could not guarantee that. Neal said
next time we issue debt we will have to answer questions about it.
Nelson said she was very concerned we look long term and that we look at maintenance of
our parks and streets and keep adequate numbers of Police and Fire for public safety. She
thought that is part of what defines Eden Prairie. If you look at the market report from the
real estate industry, our home values are going up and she wanted to make sure we continue
to maintain our home values. As far as the employee wage increase was concerned, she
thought the 3.0% seems to be what is happening in other cities. We are obviously below the
private industry trend, and that leaves some of our best employees potentially “stealable.”
She would really question going down to an overall 3.0% increase, knowing that all the
other cities also have step increases added to the base. We could get rid of step increases by
employing all employees at market wage but she thought we do it this way to provide time
for training of new employees. She thought we have a wonderful employee base and many
have been with the City for a very long time. Our surveys say they give excellent service
and she would like to see that continue.
Young asked where in the Version 1.8 numbers is the concept that we should put in the extra
from the 2007 budget. Neal said that was not shown in the Power Point presentation he
gave. Young asked if it is still part of the Version 1.8 budget. Neal said it is. Nelson asked
how much we expect that to be. Kotchevar said she would expect it to be very similar to last
year. Young thought if we take in more in tax than we budget for, that amount belongs to the
taxpayer. Neal said they get it back when it goes back into the CIP. Nelson thought it was
very appropriate to have it go back to the total tax base because it is like an internal rebate.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007

Butcher asked how much the 5.5% and 4.8% increases in the Versions 1.5 and 1.8 budgets
would increase the tax impact on a MSFH. Neal said they estimate that number to be $9 for
Version 1.8 and $18 for Version 1.5.
Butcher asked if we put a total of $2,500,000 per year into the CIP, with the $1,000,000 levy
and other revenue of about $1,500,000 per year. Kotchevar said that was correct. Butcher
asked if every year about $3,000,000 is used from the CIP. Neal said that was true.
Duckstad said Council Member Aho indicated he was interested in a figure of 3% for wage
increases and asked if that was for both years. Aho said that was correct. Duckstad said that
was a wage increase with no step increase. Aho said it was a total of 3.0% for all wages.
Duckstad then said he would support that position. He thought we are very competitive
when you think about the private sector because many companies in the private sector do not
have the pension plan that we have. He thought the same is true for our health care plan
because we have the government programs and we have the best health care plans compared
to the average out in the private sector. That is one of the factors we overlook when we say
we have to pay the highest wage to be competitive. He thought we do not have to be at the
top to attract and retain good employees. The taxpayers deserve good employees, but we
have to balance that against what the taxpayers have to pay.
Regarding the CIP, Aho read the definition of Capital Improvements. He said some of it
goes for maintenance of equipment, vehicles and facilities, and some goes for new
equipment. He asked if we have a rough idea of what percentage is for maintenance versus
what percentage is for new items. Dietz said about $1,400,000 was spent in 2007 for street
maintenance and about $170,000 on trail maintenance, and those are the two primary
infrastructure maintenance items. We also have projects for building maintenance. He said
acquisition of new equipment is always taken from the operating budget.
Aho said he did not think reducing the amount of money taken in for the CIP levy for a
period of time means we would be directly impacting the ability of the City to maintain our
facilities and keep them in good shape. He thought we will have to look at what we are
spending for new things in the CIP plan. Since we just built the Community Center addition
he thought we might be able to defer some of the other projects and put those out a little to
make sure we don’t spend down the CIP fund too quickly.
Butcher noted we are still behind if we put in $1,000,000 each year.
Aho said the point is that right now we have enough funding in the fund so that if we reduce
the levy for the next two budget years, we won’t jeopardize our ability to maintain the
facilities.
Butcher said she understood his perspective but did not agree with it. She thought we need
to continue to have a levy of $1,000,000 when we are using $2,000,000 a year just for
essential maintenance. She thought a fundamental difference is that this year has been the
year that we have the lowest taxes. What she did not understand is that our residents have
given their approval through the referendum for the new Community Center which
represents half the budget increase. Our residents have said they are willing to have a change
in their tax billing otherwise they would not have approved the referendum they knew would
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 7
bring additional costs. We are pushing costs further out when the survey results showed that
residents enjoy the services they have been given and they also approved the referendum.
She thought we are talking about a basic cause and effect. She said it does not make sense in
a year when people are prepared to do this and voted to approve it. She asked what another
budget version would look like that was between Versions 1.5 and 1.8 and added back in the
$250,000 from the CIP so we kept the whole levy. Neal said it would probably be close to
Version 1.5 and there would be a tax increase on a MSFH of somewhere between $9 and
$15.
Young said he would like to talk about the budget proposals and he understood the dollar
impact on taxes although he disagreed with looking at a budget from that perspective.
Regarding the Community Center, he said the referendum passed by 250 votes and it came
in over budget.
Aho said he did not agree with using the Community Center as a way of saying people are
willing to spend more on taxes because it did cost them more than was on the levy and there
are additional costs to run it. He didn’t know that anyone knew what that impact would be.
He did not think this was a very strong case to keep the levy the same.
Nelson said she was impressed by the fact that we can stay so low with the Community
Center coming in. She thought we should shoot for a lean budget, and she believes we need
to spend what we need to spend. She was concerned about the CIP numbers because she
recalled there being things like a new roof for City Hall and some significant money for
some facilities capital projects. She was a little hesitant to say it is just the streets, which are
certainly important, but there are a number of different roofs on the list and those are very
expensive. We can put off some things that are new but it should not be the radios for the
Police and Fire systems. She thought we need to look at what the big dollar amounts are and
she would need more information about what we could put off for a year or two. She said
she was willing to go along with the $750,000 levy if necessary. Regarding employee wages
she said she was concerned about doing a total of 3% instead of a 4.1% total increase
because that is just a 1.9% increase which is below inflation and a whole percentage point
below other cities. Even the BAC recommendation was higher than that. She didn’t want our
employees to say that we don’t value them and aren’t willing to pay them what other cities
pay when the City is not in a budget crisis.
Kotchevar said we project out revenue and expenses for the CIP fund and we project there
will be money in the Capital Improvement Fund until 2015 at which time we would run out
of money. Staff believes we need to put a steady amount in it every year to maintain the
fund. Young asked if the projections include the balance in the Economic Development fund
and what that amount is. Kotchevar said it did not. Jeremiah said the amount is $3,000,000.
Young then asked about the sale to Presbyterian Homes. Kotchevar said it is $2,000,000.
Young also asked about the sale of Fire Station 4. Kotchevar said we will receive the gain
on that sale only.
Young said, as far as wages are concerned, he thought we need to pay market rate wages to
our employees. He didn’t want to lead the pack but also didn’t think we need to pay more
than any other city and he assumed the 3% number reflects that position. He said there were
some other minor tweaks to discuss. He thought we need to get out of the car allowance
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 8
business. We should use market rate compensation as a base wage and not use car
allowances as a wage correction. Regarding certain staff changes, he thought the
Community Services Technician position was not a service we need to provide. He asked
how much time the Heritage Preservation Specialist spends on heritage preservation issues.
Jeremiah replied the employee spends nearly full time on heritage preservation with some
general training duties for the balance of the time. Young asked how many sites we
currently maintain and how many the employee works on. Jeremiah noted there will be a
full response to the BAC recommendation coming soon and listed the primary sites the
employee is currently working on. She said there are other initiatives being worked on such
as updating ordinances for clarity. Young said for 2008 he would like to move that
responsibility to half time, and then over time get it down to a quarter time position. He said
he didn’t agree with a 3% cap on total wages. Regarding the CIP, keeping in mind it would
be on a temporary basis, he would support some level of reduction for 2008 but would like
to see it growing back in 2009. He would support a levy somewhere between $500,000 and
$750,000.
Butcher said she didn’t support any change to the CIP levy.
Regarding the Community Services Technician, Nelson said she believes that is a position
the community needs at this point. They work with people in the greater Eden Prairie
community such as businesses, the library and Hennepin Technical College to work through
problems. They do some work with the Police and Fire Departments and can work with
Parks. This is the kind of service the community still needs to have. She would like to take it
down to half time with benefits with the City and fund the other half through a service
agency. We need someone we can send immigrants to if they have questions about planning
and zoning. With the largest immigrant community within the City being Somali, it makes
sense the person speaks Somali. She thought over the next three years as the community
grows the position should be phased into something else; however, she didn’t believe this
year or next is the time to do that.
Young thought the dynamics would change if there were other proposals being brought to us
from some other groups such as the library or the School District to provide some of the
costs for these services. Nelson said we can certainly talk about such changes but she did not
think it was practical to finalize anything during the next month. She thought we could keep
the position and ask staff to research having a fee for use or look at how we can work
through the various parts of this position.
Young said there is a certain level of service outreach the City does have to provide the
community in terms of public safety and parks and recreation.
Regarding the Community Services Technician position, Aho said he would like to see the
City work as a catalyst with the organizations within the City to transition those services. He
didn’t think this is a core responsibility of the City, and we should transition it to the private
sector. As far as the Heritage Preservation position was concerned, he thought a full time
person is excessive for the number of properties, and he would like to see it transitioned to a
half-time or lower position.
Butcher said she thought the Community Services Technician position was essential and she
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 9
thought we could fund it in 2008 and evaluate it in 2009. After receiving the information
from staff on the variety of roles the Community Services Technician fills, she didn’t know
how you would fill those roles in other ways. Hennepin County has made it clear they don’t
have the resources to do that for us. She thought we could move from the stalemate if we
continue the position for at least a year, and then review it after that to see if there are other
ways that it could be filled.
Duckstad said he agreed with Council Member Aho with regard to the Community Services
Technician position. He thought the City could make some further effort to make sure
Hennepin County can’t provide services in this area, because his understanding is that there
are many full time employees at Hennepin County who are devoted to the immigrant
services area and they have a significant budget for those services. He thought we should
make every effort to transition this to some other agency. We owe it to the citizens of Eden
Prairie because Hennepin County is funded in a significant amount, and when they pay
property taxes for the same services the citizens are really being doubly taxed. He said he
agreed with Mayor Young and Council Member Aho on the heritage preservation position
and thought that should be reduced to half time.
Aho said one of the things we talked about in the last budget cycle was a new policy to
establish a Budget Stabilization fund that would be maintained at 15% of our annual
operating budget so we could ride out differences. If we keep that budget percentage the
same, he asked if we see any additional amount as surplus in that fund that could be applied
to the General Fund. Kotchevar said the policy hasn’t changed. Aho then asked if we have
any additional funding that we could apply to the General Fund as a result of a surplus in the
Budget Stabilization fund because we had additional funds in there when we set it at 15%.
Kotchevar said that was a one-time deal.
Neal reviewed the tax increases over the years since 2002, noting that Version 1.8 has a $9
increase for a MSFH for 2008. He thought that is a very reasonable number. When you look
at the service composition that goes along with that number, it is actually extraordinary. We
now have the fourth highest tax capacity in the state and are behind only Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Bloomington. Our economy is doing well and our taxation is not dampening the
local economy in the least. He said a couple of months ago we gave the Moody
representative an update on where our City is headed which he shared with the Council at a
workshop. We had a chance to take the pulse of our residents earlier this year, and one thing
that stood out for him was that 73% of those surveyed believe the value of what they receive
in services from the City is good or excellent. When we look at what our City is doing in
terms of operations, we are keeping pace with what our peers are doing and are doing better
than many. One of the reasons we are able to achieve that is the employee base we have. He
thought that, at a time when we are going to be imposing a very low tax increase, this is not
the right year to ask the employee base to accept a below market wage increase. He asked
the Council to give further consideration to how that would affect employee morale. He
noted his hope as City Manager is that we get a budget with five votes behind it because that
gives a stronger representation to the community as well as to City staff.
Young said he has always looked not just at relative change but also at the absolute. We are
probably doing pretty good compared to other cities; however, on a per capita basis when
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 10
compared to our peers, we are the highest tax based city. Neal said he knew that is true, but
wanted to point out that when we look at the trend of the data, the trend for Eden Prairie is
going in the right direction. We are starting to slow down the rate of growth, and that is
reflected in our spending habits for the last few years.
Nelson said she would like to clarify two things. One is the tax per capita which she believes
is very similar to Minnetonka and Edina. When you look at cities that seem to be very
prosperous with homes and businesses, all three cities have good schools and a very good
business base. Our homes have a higher value for the same house than surrounding
communities. Most of us purchased our homes knowing that and whatever we do she wants
to make sure Eden Prairie stays at that level. The other item in the packet talked about
keeping the money for services in Version 1.8 and she would like to see that happen.
Young noted that is the next item on the agenda. He said the total dollar difference spread on
the Council is not huge. He didn’t think that Eden Prairie will ever be a low tax city but he
would prefer not to be the highest taxed city.
Regarding the survey, Duckstad said Question Number 32 asked for those in favor of or
opposed to an increase in property tax to maintain city services at the current level. The
results showed 41% were in favor and 39% were opposed.
Nelson said for 2009 she would like to throw back on the table the half-year Training Chief
position for the Fire Department, which is an extra $45,000, and potentially the $60,000
needed for the two Fire Department vehicles. She thought this is a core area and it is an
important position. Young said he thought we have time to talk about that. Nelson thought
we should discuss it before we vote in December.
Jeremiah noted the Manager of Hennepin County’s Multicultural Services said they have a
total of three Somali employees and they also serve Ramsey County. With regard to the
three employees, they provide access to county programs so there is no overlap we can find
with our position.
II. OUTSOURCED HUMAN SERVICES CONTRACTS
Neal said Ms Jeremiah manages this part of our budget operation as well as the committee
that reviews the applications and makes recommendations. He said he is not expecting a
final decision tonight, but he wanted to get some direction from the Council because all of
the groups have calendar year budgets and want to know where the City is headed. He said
this will come to the Council for approval on the November 13 agenda, and he wanted the
Council to have it ahead of time in case there were questions or concerns.
Jeremiah said the first of the two items before the Council is entitled Agency Contracts for
Human Services. She pointed out the Human Services Review Committee recommends full
funding of the requests received from the non-profits for the contract services this year and
that is possible under budget Versions 1.0 and 1.8. She noted the committee was also asked
to provide recommendations for the reductions proposed under Version 2.0. It was a very
difficult task, but they were able to come to consensus and that information is on the second
half of the first page of the memo and continues on the second page with recommendations
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 11
for 2009. The recommendations ranged from not funding two or three agencies in 2009 at
all, to funding agencies up to 83.3% of their request. She reviewed the criteria they used to
come up with the funding recommendations. They look at funds that assist people with basic
needs of daily living and that assist Eden Prairie residents. She said in many cases the
applicants are able to leverage funds up to four to ten times the amount we provide.
Jeremiah said the review committee also looks at balance in funding to various targeted
populations such as seniors, immigrants and families; however, there aren’t any programs in
the current list that specifically served immigrants. The reason for that is we haven’t found
any agency out there that specifically serves immigrants, has a proven track record, and
meets some of the other criteria. Because we have not found an agency to fund for
immigrant services, that expense has been allocated to the Community Services Technician.
The review committee also looks at the likelihood of their continuing current services with
other funding possibilities and also whether they could survive the cuts. The committee
looks to see if they are accessible to large geographical populations and different economic
means as well as their history of working in collaboration with other agencies and providers.
There is a lot of monitoring involved, and they must submit quarterly reports. Staff members
talk with providers on a regular basis and also make site visits. Each year the full committee
interviews each agency candidate.
Young said the discussion about the Community Services Technician reminded him of a
discussion he had with PROP about taking on those services if the City increased its funding
to PROP. He noted PROP obviously can’t hire someone and pay what the City does. He
asked if that remains a possibility as it was two years ago. Jeremiah said she had no recent
information on that, but her concern at the time was that 45% of the person’s time is spent
helping City departments and other agencies with cultural issues and problem solving so
very little time is spent helping PROP. It wasn’t clear those duties would be maintained, and
we would lose a lot of control over what duties the position performed.
Nelson asked if we have looked at funding the position at half time with full benefits and
moving the other half into PROP with extra funding for them. Jeremiah thought we could
explore that, but she was not sure it would save the City dollars. Neal said he recalled the
conversation a couple of years ago, but he didn’t think we have had any further discussion
with PROP or any other agency.
Butcher said she served on the Human Services Review Committee and found this to be a
good model for the delivery of funding to organizations that meet the needs of our
population. She noted we have always had a very rigorous evaluation process, and we are
talking about a total of $154,800 going to eight organizations. She said the committee felt
strongly about funding these groups because they served so many of the populations whose
needs would not be met in other ways. She supported full funding for all of the groups, and
she thought we would see a negative reaction in other ways if we don’t provide funding to
all the groups.
Aho thought all the programs are worthy and worthwhile, and he thought the programs we
decide to support should receive funding at the levels required. He would like to have open
dialogue on each one of them and see if it is within the cities purview to support each one.
He thought Meals on Wheels is a fantastic service, as is PROP. He had some reservations in
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 12
supporting the YMCA program at the level we have been asked to because he thought that is
less of a City function than some of the other services.
Young said as far as the contracts we enter into, it is important they be reasonably related to
services that people could reasonably expect the City to provide. He had questions about the
Family Center and the YMCA. He thought the Family Center is a School District function
and they should support it. The YMCA is an after-school program located at CMS. He
thought it should be in the School District budget and not the City budget. Other than those
two, he thought they all should be fully funded.
Butcher noted the person from the YMCA gave a compelling reason why we should
continue funding them because they help kids at risk and the program changes their lives. In
addition we are only talking about $25,000 for that service.
Young said there was no question about the value but rather the question is how closely
related the services provided are to obligations the City has. He thought a program at the
schools should be funded by the schools. Butcher asked if these programs are funded at all
by the schools. Jeremiah said her understanding is that the School District is not contributing
to the YMCA program currently, but they are providing some space for that person during
the day. Neal said he can’t recall the exact ratio, but there is a joint funding feature at the
Family Center. Jeremiah said the City has provided $14,000, the State of Minnesota and
program fees provide $29,000, and the Rotary Club provides $1,000.
Butcher said she felt our role is at a policy level and this feels like micromanaging when we
talk about these relatively small amounts out of a very large budget. She thought if there
were to be cuts, the recommendations made by the people who are close to this are different
from our perspective and we need to weigh what their opinion is. In her opinion, there is a
disconnect to cut funding for programs that have served us so well in the community.
Nelson said if we are going to fund things she would like to see them funded all the way out.
She saw a lot of value in the Family Center and the money put in comes back many times
over in services you don’t have to provide later on. She said she was not as familiar with
Storefront, but she noticed their main operation is in Richfield. Regarding the YMCA, she
thought anything that helps teens and junior high age youth and keeps them out of the
criminal justice system saves us money. She was not as familiar with the Family Community
program but it sounds like they do good work. She thought by doing this private/public
partnership we certainly take our money and make it grow. She was willing to trust the
committee and would go with their evaluation if we have to cut but she didn’t want to do
that.
Duckstad agreed and said he liked all the programs and thought they all should be
supported. Part of our job is to recognize that we are entrusted with the public’s money and
we should spend that money wisely. He particularly likes the Meals on Wheels program and
PROP. If he had his choice, he thought the City should be continually vigilant to look for
non-profit groups that are looking for an opportunity to help the community.
Young asked when a decision was needed. Neal said he planned to advance this material for
Council approval on November 13. He said it may feel out of synch with the budget
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 30, 2007
Page 13
approval, but he thought our budget has the ability to stretch or contract by at least this
amount. It has been our custom to make this decision as early as September.
Young said Council Member Nelson’s comments about the YMCA led him to believe the
service will not be provided if we don’t provide funding. Jeremiah said that was very likely
true, because our support is about half of the program. Young then asked if we can talk to
the School District and see if they are willing to come up with money for the program so we
could transition this to them. He didn’t want the service to go away, but his first read on it
was that this should be in the School District budget. Neal said he will communicate with
the School District. Young said he would also like a better reason why we should continue
the Family Center funding.
Aho thought it would be good to do this as early as we can because it is tough for non-
profits to come up with the dollars. Nelson noted some of these organizations leverage City
money with other foundation or government money, and they may have other funding pull
out if we pull out.

BACKGROUND
Presbyterian Homes and Services, and 605 Prairie Center Drive LLC are proposing a
redevelopment of a 22 acre site consisting of the Broadmoor Apartments, Castle Ridge Care
Center, and two contiguous vacant sites. The project will be developed in three phases. The total
project includes:
• 707 housing units (all age, senior, affordable senior, assisted living, and memory care)
• 70,000 square feet of commercial, including two restaurants
• 1,497 parking spaces
• The vacation of Castlemoor Drive right-of-way
The site is currently guided High Density Residential and Regional Commercial, and consists of
233 unit apartment and a 71 unit senior care center.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW REQUIREMENTS
There are criteria established in the environmental review rules that make an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) mandatory for
many types of projects. These criteria are called “mandatory thresholds” and are listed in MN
Rule 4410.4300 and 4410.4400.
This project does exceed the mandatory EAW threshold for mixed use residential and
commercial projects threshold of 1.0. The mixed use threshold is a ratio of the of proposed
commercial square footage (70,000 sq. ft.) divided by the commercial threshold of 300,000
square feet plus the proposed number of housing units (707) divided by the residential threshold
of 375 units. The ratio based on a mandatory EAW is 2.1.
This project does not exceed the mandatory EIS threshold for mixed use residential and
commercial projects threshold of 1.0. The mixed use threshold is a ratio of the of proposed
commercial square footage (70,000 sq. ft.) divided by the commercial threshold of 750,000 sq. ft.
plus the proposed number of housing units (707) divided by the residential threshold of 1,500
units. The ratio based on a mandatory EIS is 0.56.
EAW PROCESS
The EAW document is prepared by a consultant under the direction of the Regulatory
Governmental Unit (RGU) which is the City of Eden Prairie. City staff reviews the document for
accuracy and completeness of the answers to the questions contained in the document. A staff
person certifies that the document is accurate and complete. After certification the document is
sent to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) for publication in the EQB Monitor
(newspaper for EQB). The EQB document is sent to a list of agencies as required by statute
including but not limited to the DNR, MnDOT, EPA, US Fish and Wildlife.

From the date of publication there is a 30-day period to receive written comments from the
required agencies or other interested parties. This review period began on September 24, 2007
and expires on October 24, 2007.
The written comments are to address the accuracy and completeness of the material contained in
the EAW, potential impacts that warrant further investigation before the project is commenced,
and the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the proposed project. At the end of
the comment period, the RGU has 30 days to take action on the EAW. A public meeting held by
the RGU is optional but must occur within the 30-day comment period.
PLANNING COMMISSION ROLE
• Conduct a public meeting and accept written and oral comment to be entered in to the
record.
• Review the EAW and determine if it is complete and accurate.
• Identify potential impacts.
• Identify mitigation plans.
• Identify potential impacts that warrant further investigation before the project is
commenced.
COMPLETENESS AND ACCURACY
The staff has determined that the document is accurate and complete in regards to answering the
questions. The EAW will be revised to define the findings of the traffic study into the document.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
The potential impacts are:
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Traffic
Compatibility with Plans and Land Use Regulations
MITIGATION PLANS
Erosion and Sedimentation Control – Compliance with Best Management Practices;
compliance with NPDES/SDS General Permit requirements of the MPCA; and preparation of a
SWPP plan.
Traffic – The Major Center Area traffic study provides a framework for re-development in the
Major Center Area and identifies the necessary transportation improvements to accommodate the
anticipated re-development. The traffic generating characteristics of the proposed Presbyterian
Homes re-development are slightly less than what was anticipated in the Major Center Area
study for the affected parcels. As a result no additional major transportation improvements are
identified with the Presbyterian Homes re-development. Due to its overall size and near term
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment EAW
October 5, 2007
Page 4
construction, the Presbyterian Homes re-development may accelerate the need for several
transportation improvements identified in the Major Center Area Study. However, none of the
improvements are directly linked to or the responsibility of the proposed re-development.
As additional redevelopment occurs transportation improvements in the Major Center Area will
continue to be monitored and implemented on an area-wide basis dependent on the actual size,
location, and timing of re-development throughout the Major Center Area.
Compatibility with Plans and Land Use Regulations – Provide the FAA with Notice of
Proposed Construction or Alteration form (7460-1) to evaluate the potential for permanent or
temporary objects to affect navigable airspace.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION
Staff recommends no further investigation of environmental impacts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Motion: Move to accept the EAW document as accurate and complete, that the environmental
impacts have been identified and mitigated, and that no further investigation of environmental
impacts is needed.

Reconstruction of Valley View Road
ITEM NO.: VIII.D.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve Change Order No. 1 for the reconstruction of Valley View Road, in the
amount of $16,389.69.
Synopsis
This Change Order deals with the inclusion and negotiated unit price for recycled aggregate base
(class 7) material. Due to the quality of the recycled bituminous material on the project site, we
utilized this recycled aggregate base (class 7) material as a substitute for a portion of the
aggregate base (class 5) material in the roadway and trail area. This results in a 40% reduction in
the aggregate base cost where the recycled material is used, for a net savings of approximately
$10,000. In addition, the Change Order adds the cost of temporary striping for the roadway.
The temporary striping will be in place until next summer when the final lift of bituminous will
be placed. These striping items were not included in the bid proposal for the project.
Background Information
This project upgrades the existing rural section of Valley View Road (between Flying Cloud
Drive and Golden Triangle Drive) to an urban two-lane section with a new creek crossing. The
project also includes a new trail section and provides a missing section of trunk watermain. The
project is substantially complete, with the final lift of bituminous planned for next year.

Carter,
I have received numbers to put down paint striping until wear course. Safety Signs is the low
bidder and can either do this by the end of this week or a week from next Monday. So it
would be nicer to get it done right away so we will not have to sweep the street. Here is the

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Purchase of hardware, software, and
professional services to implement SAN and
VMWare Solution
ITEM NO.: VIII.G.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve purchase of NetApp SAN and VMWare Hardware, Software, and
Services from MochaData at a cost of $149,461.59.
Synopsis
The Information Technology Division is requesting permission to purchase a new
SAN/VMWare Solution to be used by all departments for data serving and storage. The money
for the purchase of the unit will come out of the Information Technology CIP budget.
Background
This project will allow the IT Department to better serve all departments of the City by making
better use of our server and storage infrastructure through consolidation. Server and storage
consolidation will involve moving many of our servers and most of our data to a redundant and
virtualized environment. This environment will increase the efficiency of our use of IT
resources. These resources include servers, RAM, storage, network ports, and electricity. In our
current environment, we are “encouraged” by our vendors to isolate their application on its own
server to avoid software conflicts. Server virtualization allows us to maintain the application
isolation as encouraged by our vendors, but also allows us to consolidate multiple physical
servers onto a single physical server. This technology allows us to maximize our server
efficiency, and gives us the ability to deploy servers /applications more quickly because we no
longer have to configure, order, and wait for delivery of a new server.
Another very important aspect of this project is disaster recovery. Once the project is
implemented we will have a redundant offsite storage array which will mirror the contents of the
storage array at City Hall. This will give us the ability to recover from a disaster in a more
timely manner with data that is more up to date than is currently possible.
We received quotes from Xiotech, St. Croix Solutions, and Mocha Data. Once we compared the
three proposals, we felt that Mocha Data’s proposal provides the most cost effective, easy to
manage solution that meets all of our needs. NetApp has been providing this type of solution for
many years. The NS20 is EMC’s first attempt at a multiprotocol box for small to medium sized
organizations and it currently has a few shortcomings. The other proposals lack key capabilities
and/or do not propose a cost effective solution.

Transactions and Merchant breaches.
c) Limitation of Liability. Merchant acknowledges that NOVA and Member's fees for the services
provided to Merchant are very small in relation to the funds advanced to Merchant for
Transactions and consequently NOVA's and Member's willingness to provide these services is
based on the liability limitations contained in the Agreement. Therefore, in addition to greater
limitations on NOVA's or Member's liability that may be provided elsewhere, any liability of
NOVA and Member under the Agreement, whether to you or any other party, whatever the basis
of the liability, will not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the fees paid by you during
the last six (6) months. In no event will NOVA, Member, or their agents, officers, directors, or
employees be liable for indirect, exemplary, punitive, special, or consequential damages.
d) Performance. NOVA and Member will perform all services in accordance with the Agreement.

Agreement if such failure or delay arises for reasons beyond the control of NOVA or Member
and without the fault or negligence of NOVA or Member.

and the Payment Network Regulations and thereafter destroy, in a manner that will render the
data unreadable, all such media that you no longer deem necessary or appropriate to maintain.
Further, you must take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Cardholder and
Transaction information is not disclosed or otherwise misused. You may not retain or store
magnetic stripe or CVV2/CVC2 data after authorization for record keeping or additional
authorization processing. In accordance with Section B(16)(d), Merchant shall immediately

arise from your use or misuse of such third party passwords.
d) Proprietary Interest. Merchant has no interest whatsoever, including, without limitation,
copyright interests, franchise interests, license interests, patent rights, property rights, or other
interest in any services, software, or hardware provided by NOVA. Nothing in the TOS shall be
construed as granting Merchant any patent rights or patent license in any patent which NOVA
may obtain in respect to NOVA's services, software, or equipment. Merchant will make no
attempt to duplicate or otherwise ascertain the components, circuit diagrams, logic diagrams, flow
charts, source and object code, schematics or operation of, or otherwise attempt to reverse

no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

if Member or NOVA determines that such contact is necessary to obtain information about any

to pass through to you any fee increases imposed upon NOVA by Visa, MasterCard, any other
Payment Network, and any other third party including telecommunications vendors.
I) Severability and Waiver. If any provision of the Agreement is found to be illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision will not affect any of the
remaining provisions and the Agreement will be construed as if the illegal or unenforceable
provision is not contained in the Agreement. Neither the failure, the delay by NOVA or Member
to exercise, nor the partial exercise of any right under the Agreement will operate as a waiver or
estoppel of such right, nor shall such amend the Agreement. All waivers requested by you must
be signed by NOVA.
m) Independent Contractors. NOVA, Member, and you will be deemed independent contractors
and no one will be considered an agent, joint venturer, or partner of the other, unless and to the

standard of care at least equal to the standard required of NOVA to protect such information
pursuant to applicable Laws, including without limitation the federal Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or other applicable
privacy laws. Further, a Merchant that is a "covered entity" or "business associate", as defined
under HIPAA, must not use any product to store, transmit, or otherwise maintain "protected health

you must provide NOVA with thirty (30) days advance written notice. If you choose to accept
only one of the categories of products but later submit a Transaction outside of the selected

our standard fees and expenses for that category of products. Further, if you choose a limited
acceptance option, you must still honor all international cards presented for payment. Merchants

paragraph does not prohibit you from offering a discount to induce a person to pay by cash,
check, or similar means rather than by Credit Card.
f) Convenience Fees. You may not assess Convenience Fees unless you have disclosed such fees to
NOVA previously in writing and you have been approved by NOVA to assess such fees. If you
complete a Transaction and assess a Convenience Fee without having disclosed such fee
previously in writing and obtained NOVA's consent, you will be in breach of the Agreement and

the Cardholder must be given the option to cancel the Transaction if the Cardholder does
not want to pay the fee.
v. The Convenience Fee must be included in the total amount of the Transaction; it cannot
be "split" out from the Transaction amount. The only exception is for card acceptance
programs involving only MasterCard Credit Cards where Visa Credit Cards are not
accepted.
vi. If a Convenience Fee is assessed it must be for all payments (Visa, MasterCard,
Discover, AMEX, ACH, and check) within a particular payment channel (mail,
telephone, and internet).
vii. Additional Visa Convenience Fee Requirements are as follows: (i) it must be a flat fee;
(ii) it cannot be tiered or percentage based regardless of the value of the payment due;

tiered, percentage based, or flat; and (ii) the fee may be authorized and settled separately

VA City of Eden Pmirie, Minnesota FINAL Custom Government Terms of Service - Direct Debit (USB) v 6.30.06 10.26.07.doc
x. To the extent Merchant's state or other governing body has passed legislation that
requires Convenience Fee assessment by government agencies as a component of card
acceptance, such laws may conflict with the Payment Network Regulations. Merchant
bears all responsibility for, and agrees to hold NOVA and Member harmless from, all
liability associated therewith, including all fees, fines and penalties levied by the Payment
Networks.
xi. Convenience Fees may be prohibited by Laws in some States. Merchant may not charge
Convenience Fees where prohibited by Laws.
xii. In no event is a Convenience Fee to be referred to as a surcharge or advertised as an
offset to processing fees.
xiii. If you have received approval from Visa to participate in the Tax Payment Pilot Program,
then you may assess a variable service fee so long as: (i) only eligible tax payments are
accepted (personal income, personal property, real property, unemployment, business
income and sales and use taxes); (ii) Cardholders are notified of the fee and given the
opportunity to opt-out of the Transaction; (iii) the variable fee must be processed as a
separate Transaction and not combined with the tax payment; (iv) the variable fee may be
assessed on all payment channels and the fee cannot be higher than any other card-based
payment offered through the same channel; and (v) you submit appropriate reports of
CISP compliance to Visa and receive Visa approval and certification annually.

and in accordance with the Credit Card Rules, any limitation you have on accepting returned
merchandise.

accept the Transaction Receipt or revokes its prior acceptance of the Transaction Receipt (after

relating to previous charges for merchandise or services included in a Transaction Receipt, and if
you receive such payments, you will promptly remit them to NOVA.
i) Disputes With Cardholders. Aft disputes between you and any Cardholder relating to any

any responsibility for such Transactions or disputes, other than with respect to processing

22) AUTHORIZATION.
a) Required on all Transactions. You must obtain an Authorization Code before completing any
sales Transaction. An Authorization Code verifies the Credit Card number is valid, the Credit
Card has not been reported lost or stolen at the time of the sales Transaction, and confirms the
amount of credit or funds requested for the sales Transaction is available. You will follow any
instructions received during Authorization. Upon receipt of an Authorization Code, you may
consummate only the sales Transaction authorized and must note the Authorization Code on the
Transaction Receipt. In any case in which a sales Transaction is completed without imprinting the
Credit Card, the Merchant, whether or not an Authorization Code is obtained, shall be deemed to
warrant the true identity of the customer as the Cardholder. For all Card Not Present sales
Transactions, you must obtain the Credit Card expiration date, Cardholder address and telephone
number, and CVV2/CVC2 number and forward them as part of the Authorization.
b) Effect. An Authorization Code does not: (i) guarantee the Merchant final payment for a sales
Transaction; (ii) guarantee that the sales Transaction will not be disputed later by the Cardholder
as any sales Transaction is subject to Chargeback; or (iii) protect you in the event of a
Chargeback regarding unauthorized sales Transactions or disputes involving the quality of goods
or services. Authorization Codes will not waive any provision of the TOS or otherwise validate a
fraudulent sales Transaction or a sales Transaction involving the use of an expired Credit Card.

you will enter the data related to Transactions into a POS Device and settle the Transactions and

Member on demand the value of all Chargebacks. You authorize NOVA and Member to offset
from incoming Transactions and to debit the DDA and the Reserve Account for the amount of all
Chargebacks. You will fully cooperate with NOVA and Member in complying with the Credit
Card Rules regarding Chargebacks. The following is not to be considered a complete listing of
the reasons for which you may incur a Chargeback. It is intended only to provide the most
commonly encountered situations where a Chargeback may occur.
i) Failure to respond to a Retrieval Request or failure to provide a legible, complete, or proper
copy of a Transaction Receipt in response to a Retrieval Request,
ii) Unauthorized use of a Credit Card as alleged by the Cardholder,
iii) Dispute by the Cardholder over the quality of goods or services,
iv) Failure by Merchant to provide goods or services,
v) The Transaction Receipt does not bear the Cardholder's signature,
vi) The Transaction Receipt represents a sales Transaction for which Authorization was initially
declined and was subsequently obtained by means of multiple Authorization attempts or other
means not permitted hereunder,
vii) The Transaction Receipt fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement or
fails to comply with the Credit Card Rules,
viii) The sales Transaction was completed under circumstances constituting a breach of the
Agreement.
c) Excessive Activity. Your presentation to NOVA of Excessive Activity will be a breach of the
Agreement and cause for termination of the Agreement as set forth in Section B(15)(b)(ii)(3).
"Excessive Activity" means, during any monthly period, and for any one of Merchant's terminal
20 of 26
NOVA City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota FINAL Custom Government Terms of Service - Direct Debit (USB) v 6,30.06 10.26.07.doe
identification numbers or merchant identification numbers, Chargebacks and/or Retrieval
Requests in excess of one percent (1%) of the gross dollar amount of your sales Transactions or
returns in excess of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross dollar amount of sales
Transactions. You authorize, upon the occurrence of Excessive Activity, Member and NOVA to
take additional actions as either of them may deem necessary including, without limitation,
suspension of processing privileges or creation or maintenance of a Reserve Account in
accordance with the TOS.
d) Credits.
i) Credit Transaction Receipt. You will issue a Credit Transaction Receipt, instead of issuing
cash or a check, as a refund for any previous sales Transaction. Member will debit the DDA
for the total face amount of each Credit Transaction Receipt submitted to NOVA. You will
not submit a Credit Transaction Receipt relating to any Transaction Receipt not originally
submitted to NOVA, nor will you submit a Credit Transaction Receipt that exceeds the
amount of the original Transaction Receipt. You will, within the time period specified by
applicable Laws or the Credit Card Rules, whichever time period is shorter, provide NOVA
with a Credit Transaction Receipt for every return of goods or forgiveness of debt for services
that was the subject of a previous sales Transaction in accordance with the Credit Card Rules.
ii) Revocation of Credit. Member or NOVA may, in their sole discretion, refuse to accept any
Credit Transaction Receipt for processing.
iii) Reprocessing. You will not resubmit or reprocess any Transaction that has been charged
back.
e) Fraud and Factoring. You will not present for processing or credit, directly or indirectly, any
transaction not originated as a result of a transaction directly between you and a Cardholder or
any Transaction you know or should know to be fraudulent or not authorized by the Cardholder.
Perpetrators of fraudulent Transactions will be referred to law enforcement officials. You will not
deposit any Transaction Receipt representing the refinancing of an existing obligation of a
Cardholder. You agree that NOVA may, within its sole discretion, suspend the disbursement of
funds from Transaction Receipt for any reasonable period of time required to investigate
suspicious or unusual deposit activity. NOVA and Member will have no liability for any losses
you may attribute to any suspension of funds disbursement.
25) OTHER TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS.
a) Mail Order/Telephone Order (MO/TO). You may not solicit or accept MO/TO sales
Transactions unless you have disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in writing. If
you complete a MO/TO sales Transaction without having disclosed such method of sale
previously in writing, you will be in breach of the Agreement and NOVA may immediately
terminate the Agreement in addition to any other remedies available under the Agreement, Laws,
and Credit Card Rules, and you may have to pay a surcharge on each such Transaction. You
understand that Transactions processed via MO/TO are high risk and subject to a higher incidence
of Chargebacks. You are liable for all Chargebacks and losses related to MO/TO sales
Transactions. You may be required to use an address verification service ("AVS") on MO/TO
sales Transactions. AVS is not a guarantee of payment and the use of AVS will not waive any
provision of this Agreement or validate a fraudulent Transaction. You will obtain the expiration
date of the Credit Card for a MO/TO sales Transaction and submit the expiration date when
requesting Authorization of the sales Transaction. For MO/TO sales Transactions, you will type
or print legibly on the signature line of the Transaction Receipt the following applicable words or
letters: telephone order or "TO," or mail order or "MO," as appropriate. NOVA recommends that
you obtain a signed Transaction Receipt or other proof of delivery signed by Cardholder for
MO/TO sales Transactions.
b) Recurring Transactions.
i) Requirements. For recurring Transactions (e.g., payment of insurance premiums or
subscriptions), you must obtain a written request from the Cardholder for such goods and
21 of 26
NOV
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota FINAL Custom Government Terms of Service - Direct Debit (USB) v 6.30.06 10.26.07.doc
services to be charged to the Cardholder's account, the frequency of the recurring charge, and
the duration of time during which such charges may be made. You will not complete any
recurring Transaction after receiving: (i) a cancellation notice from the Cardholder; (ii) a
notice from NOVA or Member that authority to accept recurring Transactions has been
revoked; or (iii) a response that the Payment Device is not to be honored. You must provide a
subsequent order form to the Cardholder when a Recurring Transaction is renewed by the
Cardholder. Merchant is responsible for ensuring its compliance with Laws with respect to
recurring Transactions.
ii) Limitations on the Resubmission of Recurring Transactions. In some limited instances,
you may resubmit a preauthorized recurring Transaction up to four (4) times within sixteen
(16) calendar days of the original Authorization request, provided that the decline response is
one of the following: (i) authorization denied; (ii) insufficient funds; (iii) exceeds approval
amount limit; or (iv) exceeds withdrawal frequency.
iii) Recurring Transaction Receipts. You must print legibly on the Transaction Receipt the
words "Recurring Transaction." You must obtain the Cardholder's signature, including an
electronic signature or other similar authentication that is effective under Laws, on the
Transaction Receipt. For an Electronic Commerce Transaction, you must also include the
frequency and duration of the Recurring Transaction, as agreed to by the Cardholder, on the
Transaction Receipt.
iv) Electronic Commerce Recurring Transactions. In addition to the above, for an Electronic
Commerce Transaction, you must also provide a simple and easily accessible online
cancellation procedure that complies with Laws, if the Cardholder's request for goods or
services was initially accepted online.
v) Recurring Transactions With Varying Amounts. For Recurring Transactions of varying
amounts, all of the following apply: (i) the order form must allow the Cardholder to specify a
minimum and maximum Transaction amount to be charged, unless the Cardholder will be
notified of the amount and date of each charge, as specified in the remainder of this section;
(ii) you must inform the Cardholder of their right to receive, at least ten (10) calendar days
prior to each scheduled Transaction Date, written notification of the amount and date of the
next charge; and (iii) the Cardholder may choose to receive the notification in any of the
following ways: (a) for every charge; (b) when the Transaction amount does not fall within
the range of amounts specified on the order form; or (c) when the Transaction amount will
differ from the most recent charge by more than an agreed upon amount. Merchant is
responsible for ensuring that all communications with, and disclosures to, Cardholders
comply with Laws.
c) Multiple Transaction Receipts. You will include a description and total amount of goods and
services purchased in a single sales Transaction on a single Transaction Receipt unless: (i) partial
payment is entered on the Transaction Receipt and the balance of the Transaction amount is paid
in cash or by check at the time of the sales Transaction; or (ii) a Transaction Receipt represents an
advance deposit in a sales Transaction completed in accordance with the Agreement and the
Credit Card Rules.
d) Deposits.
i) Prior Consent. You will not accept for payment by Credit Card any amount representing a
deposit or partial payment for goods or services to be delivered in the future unless you have
disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in writing. If you accept a Credit Card for
payment or partial payment of goods or services to be delivered in the future without having
disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in writing, you will be in breach of the
Agreement and NOVA may immediately terminate the Agreement in addition to any other
remedies available under the Agreement, Laws, and Credit Card Rules.
ii) Acceptance. If you have disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in writing, then
you will complete such sales Transactions in accordance with the Agreement, Laws, and
22 of 26
\ OVA City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota FINAL Custom Government Terms of Service - Direct Debit (USB) v 6.30M6 10.26.07.doe
Credit Card Rules. Merchant must execute one Transaction Receipt when processing the
deposit Transaction and a second Transaction Receipt upon processing the balance of the
Transaction. You will note the words "deposit" or "balance" on the applicable Transaction
Receipt, as appropriate. You will not deposit the Transaction Receipt labeled "balance" until
the goods have been delivered to Cardholder or until you have fully performed the services.
e) Future Delivery. You will not present any Transaction Receipt or Credit Transaction Receipt to
Member or NOVA for processing (whether by electronic means or otherwise) that relates to the
sale of goods or services for future delivery unless you have disclosed such method of sale to
NOVA previously in writing and you have been approved by NOVA to submit such
Transactions. If you have disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in writing, you
represent and warrant to Member and NOVA that you will not rely on any proceeds or credit
resulting from such sales Transactions to purchase or furnish goods or services. You will
maintain sufficient working capital to provide for the delivery of goods or services at the agreed
upon future date, independent of any credit or proceeds resulting from Transaction Receipts or
other Credit Transaction Receipts in connection with future delivery sales Transactions or until
you have fully performed the services.
f) Electronic Commerce.
i) Electronic Commerce. You may not solicit or accept Electronic Commerce sales
Transactions unless you have disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in writing,
and you may process such Transactions only if the Transactions have been encrypted by a
third party vendor acceptable to NOVA and Member. If you submit Electronic Commerce
sales Transactions without having disclosed such method of sale to NOVA previously in
writing, you will be in breach of the Agreement and NOVA may immediately terminate the
Agreement in addition to any other remedies available under the Agreement, Laws, and the
Payment Network Regulations. You understand that sales Transactions processed via the
Internet are high risk and subject to a higher incidence of Chargebacks. You are liable for all
Chargebacks and losses related to Electronic Commerce Transactions, whether or not: (i)
such Transactions have been encrypted; and (ii) you have obtained NOVA's consent to
engage in such Transactions. Encryption is not a guarantee of payment and does not waive
any provision of the TOS or otherwise validate a fraudulent Transaction. NOVA recommends
that you obtain a signed Transaction Receipt or other proof of delivery signed by the
Cardholder for all Electronic Commerce sales Transactions. All communication costs and
compliance with Laws related to Electronic Commerce Transactions will be your
responsibility. You understand that NOVA will not manage the telecommunications link for
Electronic Commerce Transactions and that it is your responsibility to manage that link.
Merchant authorizes NOVA and Member, at Merchant's costs and expense, to perform an
annual audit and examination of Merchant's website and a due diligence review as required
by the Payment Network Regulations for Electronic Commerce Merchants.
ii) Requirements. For goods to be shipped on Electronic Commerce sales Transactions, you
may obtain authorization up to seven (7) days prior to the shipment date. You need not obtain
a second authorization if the Transaction Receipt amount is within fifteen percent (15%) of
the authorized amount, provided the additional amount represents shipping costs. Further,
your Web site must contain all of the following information: (a) complete description of the
goods or services offered; (b) returned merchandise and refund policy; (c) customer service
contacts, including electronic mail address and/or telephone number; (d) complete address
(street address, city, state, zip code, and country) of the permanent establishment of the
business; (e) complete address of the permanent establishment of the business on either the
checkout screen (which displays the total purchase amount) or within the sequence of Web
pages presented to the Cardholder during the checkout process; (f) Transaction currency
(such as U.S. or Canadian dollars); (g) export or legal restrictions, if known; (h) delivery
policy; (i) customer data privacy policy; and (j) your method of Transaction security. If you
23 of 26
OV
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota FINAL Custom Government Terms of Service - Direct Debit (USB) v 6.30,06 10.26.07.doc
store Cardholder account numbers, expiration dates, or other personal Cardholder data in a
database, you must follow the applicable Payment Network rules on securing such data. You
may not retain or store CVV2/CVC2 data after authorization for record keeping or additional
authorization processing.
26) INTERCHANGE. Interchange qualification requirements, as defined by the Credit Card
Associations, affect the Merchant's fees or surcharges owed for Transactions. Merchant will pay a
higher discount rate, higher fees, and surcharges for Transactions that do not meet the best rate
qualification criteria or have been processed in a manner other than for which the Merchant was
approved.
Section D — Acceptance of American Express, Discover, Diners or JCB
27) ACCEPTANCE OF AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, DINERS, AND/OR JCB CARDS. If
NOVA provides authorization and/or data capture services to Merchant for American Express,
Discover, Diners, and/or JCB Transactions, Merchant agrees to the following provisions, in addition
to the Definitions in Section (A) and the General Provisions of Section (8) above.
28) ACCESS. Upon request and fulfillment of the following conditions, NOVA will provide access to
authorization and/or data capture services for American Express, Discover, Diners, and/or JCB
Transactions to Merchants who have been approved by American Express, Discover, Diners, and/or
JCB and who have entered into a separate agreement with American Express, Discover, Diners, or
JCB, respectively; provided, however that neither NOVA nor Member shall be responsible for
funding such Transactions.
29) FORWARDED INFORMATION. NOVA will forward certain information pertaining to Merchant,
including, but not limited to, contact information and DDA numbers, to one or more of such Card
Associations, unless NOVA receives from Merchant written instructions to the contrary.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this TOS.

*The City would have its choice of the Public Sector! Emerging Market or the Visa / MasterCard Utility pricing
programs for utility payments.
For instance, let's take a transaction for $180.00. Comparing the two pricing programs yields the following results
(assuming a $180.00 Visa credit card transaction).
Public Sector Emerging Market Program
Processing Fees: $2.84 ($180.00 x 1.5225% = $2.7405 + $0.10 = $2.8405)
Utility Program
Processing Fees: $0.97 ($180.00 x 0.095% = $0.171 + $0.80 = $0.971)
In this example, the difference in processing fees between these two pricing programs is $1.87 (or more than 50%
savings) for this $180.00 transaction due to the Visa Utility program pricing.
Please note that one of the primary requirements to be eligible for the Utility pricing programs is that the merchant
would not be allowed to charge / pass along a convenience or service fee to cardholders (per Visa / MasterCard
program participation requirements).
October 25, 2007 Page 1 of 6
Please Note:
• U.S. Bank / NOVA does not charge any other "miscellaneous" or "hidden" fees such as 'batch header
fees' or 'customer service / support fees', whereas many other merchant processors do. We like for our
merchant statements and pricing to be clear and straightforward to our customers. That is why we do
not charge these other types of fees, and also why we present our pricing in a clear and concise
manner.
• We are proposing separate pricing programs (grids) herein. The reason for that is because we want the
City to be able to take advantage of the lower processing fees associated with 'Interchange (cost) Plus'
pricing. Because the card associations (Visa / MasterCard) approach pricing programs (Interchange)
differently depending on the type of organization accepting card payments / type of payment (utility
payments qualify differently than liquor store payments), transactions will qualify (and be priced)
differently based on organization / payment type. We will explain this in greater detail to you, which will
help you to understand why this is the best approach to ensure that the City receives the best pricing
and support for its payment processing programs.
• During the past several years, debit / check card usage has increased dramatically. Research has
shown that debit / check card transactions typically make up 25% or more of card transaction volume.
As you will notice our proposal, debit / check card pricing is significantly lower than credit card
transaction pricing. U.S. Bank's proposed merchant card processing pricing structure would allow the
City to take advantage of these lower processing fees accordingly.
• We might also recommend that the City consider utilizing PIN based debit / check card processing
services. Research indicates that approximately 20% or more of electronically processed transactions
are debit card / check card transactions. The City may be able to minimize debit / check card processing
fees by processing these types of transactions as P.I.N. based transactions, rather than signature
based transactions. This service would allow debit / check card cardholders to enter their respective
P.I.N. information during debit / check card transactions (transactions accepted at the point-of-sale or at
the counter). Since a flat fee is applied to these types of transactions, rather than the 'rate/per item' fee
structure, the City could potentially minimize processing fees by using this service.
For instance, let's say the average transaction size is approximately $100.00. Comparing the two pricing
programs (non PIN debit vs. PIN debit) yields the following results (assuming a $100.00 Visa debit
check card transaction).
Non PIN Debit (no PIN entered with the transaction)
Processing Fees: $1.19 ($100.00 x 0.8925% = $0.8925 ÷ $0.30 = $1.1925)
PIN Debit (PIN entered with the transaction),
Processing Fees: $0.80 (1 transaction x $0.80 flat PIN debit network authorization fee)
In this example, the difference in processing fees between these two pricing programs is $0.39 (approximately
30% savings) for this $100.00 transaction as a result of utilizing PIN debit services / pricing.
Please note that pin pad equipment would be needed to process PIN debit / check card transactions in the
above mentioned manner.
October 25, 2007 Page 2 of 6
• The majority of the City's payments would likely qualify for the pricing outlined above. Other transaction
qualifications / pricing may apply to other card / transaction types (i.e. partially or non-qualified
transactions, commercial card, purchasing card, corporate / business card transactions, etc.). Please
refer to the attached Visa / MasterCard Interchange grid for further details. We would be glad to go over
this information further, if you wish.
• The Card Association Interchange / Assessments represent our [and all other merchant processors]
costs. In order to arrive at the City's pricing for the various Interchange qualifications, you would add 0
basis points plus $0.05 per transaction (U.S. Bank's fees) to Visa's and MasterCard's interchange /
Assessments, as we have done above.
• 'Swiped' refers to card present / card swiped transactions. 'Non-Swiped' refers to card not present / non
swiped transactions, including transactions accepted via telephone, mail, Web / Internet, etc.

CAUTION: No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection,
signed by the affected property owner, is filed with the City Clerk prior to the assessment hearing or
presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Clerk
within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten
days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk. For your further information, please note the following:
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 435.193 through 435.195, which establishes a hardship assessment deferral
for seniors or retired disabled, the procedure to obtain a deferred assessment and sets forth the events upon
which the option to defer payment terminates and all amounts accumulated plus interest become due.
Pursuant to these statutes, the City may defer the payment of special assessments for homestead property of
persons 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be
a hardship to make the payment, who meet certain standards relating to eligibility. A deferment procedure is
authorized by City Code Section 2.84 and has been established by City Resolution 83-177. The principal
amount of special assessments deferred for such persons will bear interest, but not exceeding 50% of the
original principal amount of the assessment. Payment of the interest will also be deferred and will be added
to the principal amount of the deferred assessment. Any person who wishes to receive a deferment must
make application to the City Engineer's office no later than November 10th of the year preceding the year in
which an assessment is payable. Applications therefore may be obtained from the City of Eden Prairie by
contacting:

Requested Action
Move to:
• Close the Public Hearing; and
Adopt the Resolution amending Resolution No 2006-136, Regulating Fees and Charges for
Business Licenses, Permits and Municipal Services.
Synopsis
The Council adopts the fee resolution each December for the fees that will be charged and
collected the following year. Because liquor license renewals are sent out before the fee
resolution is approved, it is necessary to update the fee resolution now.
Staff has compared the fees the City charges to comparable cities, has taken into consideration
that liquor related fees have not changed since November 2003 and recommends the following
increases:
3.2 Beer Annual License Fee - On-Sale from $750.00 to $800.00
3.2 Beer Annual License Fee - Off-Sale from $150.00 to $175.00
Liquor Annual License Fee – On-Sale from $8,500.00 to $8,750.00
3.2 Beer, Wine, Liquor Investigation Fee for New Managers - from $25.00 to $50.00
These fees will provide a more reasonable reimbursement of City costs. In 2007, the City issued
the following licenses:
3.2 beer On-Sale licenses – 3
3.2 beer Off-Sale licenses – 8
Liquor On-Sale licenses – 27

Background Information
City Council Public Hearing – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
November 13, 2007
Page 2
The Comprehensive Guide Plan and the MCA Study are guiding documents for the existing and
future use of land. Since both documents guide the future uses supported by policies it allows
the market palace to be creative and gives the City the flexibility to accept proposals that are not
an identical match but accomplish important land use, house, and development goals. The plan
as proposed has less housing and more commercial than the MCA Plan and some of the
buildings are taller than envisioned, however the plan does accomplish many desirable things:
• Consistency with the intent of the MCA Study for Sub area 4.
• Provides for the continued need of senior related housing.
• Additional mixed use retail, shops and restaurants complement the housing, support
surrounding retail, and complete a significant commercial corner of the MCA.
• Pedestrian friendly linkages between housing and retail services.
• Use of shared parking for the mixed use and retail.
• Reduced parking requirements for the senior housing.
• Transition of building heights from single-story retail, four-story mixed use, and the high-
rise housing elements provide scale and interest.
• Significant views of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area from the proposed housing
element.
The plan requires waivers for height, density, setbacks, parking, and exterior materials in the
RM-2.5 and Community Commercial zoning districts as part of the PUD. The waivers are
consistent with the planning principles of the MCA Study for taller buildings, higher densities,
shared parking, pedestrian interest, and pedestrian systems.
In the October 5, 2007 staff report the recommendation regarding Cash Park Fee was
inadvertently omitted. The project will be subject to the Cash Park Fee.
The 120-Day Review Period Expires on December 14, 2007.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission voted 6-1-1 to recommend approval of the project at the October 8,
2007 meeting. This was based on coordinating the traffic circle with the neighboring property to
the south and revising the plans as follows:
• Greater horizontal relief/shadows of all elevations, especially the at the corners.
• Incorporate front door architecture on all sides of the buildings. Tower elements should
be added to the corners of each retail buildings.
• Reduce the percentage of EFIS on each retail building to no more than 25%.
• Public art/sculptures in the public gathering spaces.
• Brick pavers for all plazas in front of the retail buildings and public gathering areas.
• Use of natural stone for seating walls.
• Benches and planter bowls in front of all retail buildings.
• Hanging baskets on all plazas and gathering areas.
• More decorative fencing.

• Large planting beds of perennials and annuals.
• Decorative lighting on all plazas and gathering areas and on all sides of the retail and
mixed use buildings
The plans have been revised according to the Planning Commission recommendations. These
revisions will be incorporated into the overall proposal as part of the Exhibit B plans.

BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Guide Plan shows the property as High Density Residential and Regional
Commercial land use. The property is zoned RM-2.5, RM-6.5 and Commercial Regional
Service. Surrounding land use consists of Regional Commercial to the north, east and south, and
Park/Open Space (Purgatory Creek Recreation Area) to the west. The 21.3 acre site contains the
Broadmoor Apartments, Castle Ridge Care Center and two additional vacant parcels.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The overall Planned Unit Development includes 707 housing units and 70,000 square feet of
retail and restaurant uses to be constructed in three phases between 2008 and 2012.
The buildings consist of:
• 260 units of all age housing in a tiered 9-13 story building.
• 372 units of senior housing in a tiered 9-13 story building which includes: 60 units of
skilled nursing, 27 units of memory care, 75 units of assisted living, and 210 units of
independent living.
• Mixed use retail of 21,000 sq. ft. first floor with 75 units of affordable senior housing in
three stories above.
• 20,000 sq. ft. of retail
• 12,000 sq. ft. of restaurant
• 13,000 sq. ft. pharmacy
• 4,000 sq. ft. bank
GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
A guide plan change is proposed from High Density Residential and Regional Commercial to
High Density Residential and Community Commercial. This action allows for the necessary
shifting of the residential land use component to match the proposed plan and to accommodate
mixed use retail and housing.
MAJOR CENTER AREA STUDY
In January 2006, the City Council adopted a report entitled Eden Prairie Major Center Area
Study – The Next 25 years: A Framework for Decision Making, the purpose of which is to chart
a course for public and private investment in land development, urban design and infrastructure
into the future. The study proposes a vision of the Major Center Area (MCA) based upon
comprehensive planning principles.
MCA PLANNING PRINCIPLES
The realization of a long-term vision for the MCA requires adherence to sound planning
principles which identify a balanced set of statements that embody the future intent of land use,
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
October 5, 2007
Page 3
transportation, urban design and other fundamental systems. These comprehensive principles
serve as one of several sets of criteria in evaluating private sector development proposals and
their compatibility with the vision for the MCA and provide policy direction. There are many
principles; those most relevant to the Presbyterian Homes redevelopment proposal are the
following:
• Land Use
• Transportation
• Urban Design
• Pedestrian Access, Features and Facilities
Since the Presbyterian Homes redevelopment project is located in the MCA it should be first
evaluated on its compatibility with the vision and planning principles for the MCA and secondly
for conformance with City code requirements.
Land Use
Included in the MCA Study is the creation of 10 Sub areas to gain a better understanding of the
unique characteristics, opportunities and limitations, and how the areas can best contribute to
improving the entire MCA. Some of the key land use elements for the MCA include:
• Denser regional uses, mixed uses of housing over retail, and more housing within
walking distance of services.
• Connections between land uses for walking, driving and visual appearance.
• Create urban parks, civic and cultural spaces, trails, sidewalks and green streets.
• Allow high-rise buildings overlooking Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. Locate taller
buildings to take advantage of views and away from existing low-density residences.
The Presbyterian Homes redevelopment site is located in Sub area 4, which extends along the
southeast portion of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area west of Prairie Center Drive. The
MCA Study shows future land use for the site as High-rise/High density (60 to 75 units per acre
and 7-10 stories), Mid-rise/High density (40 to 60 units per acre and 3 to 6 stories), and retail of
approximately 15,000 sq. ft.
Presbyterian Homes is proposing two high rise, high density residential buildings containing 632
units in a tiered design of 9 to 13 stories, a 21,000 sq. ft. mixed use retail building with 75 units
of housing above in three stories, and 49,000 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant in five buildings. The
two high-rise buildings are at a density of 55 units per acre. The mixed use housing is at a
density of 23 units per acre. Benefits of this proposal include:
1. Consistency with the intent of the MCA Study for Sub area 4.
2. Providing for the continued need of senior related housing.
3. Additional mixed use retail, shops and restaurants complement the housing, support
surrounding retail, and complete a significant commercial corner of the MCA.
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
October 5, 2007
Page 4
4. Shared parking for the mixed use and retail.
5. Reduced parking needs for the senior housing.
6. Transition of building heights from single-story retail, four-story mixed use, and the high-
rise housing elements provide scale and interest.
7. Significant views of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area from the proposed housing
element.
The two residential buildings have horizontal and vertical relief. The use of various construction
materials, roof lines, and colors also help address building scale and interest. Varying the roof
line between 9 and 13 stories provides a greater transition and architectural interest than
designing both buildings at 10 stories.
The retail and mixed use components of the project will need to address street level
improvements and provide more materials and construction details for pedestrian scale and street
level interest to include:
• Greater horizontal relief/shadows of all elevations, especially the at the corners.
• Incorporate front door architecture on all sides of the buildings. Tower elements should
be added to the corners of each retail buildings.
• Reduce the percentage of EFIS on each retail building to no more than 25%.
• Provide 3-D architecture for all commercial buildings and mixed use buildings.
The street level interest includes outdoor seating walls and benches, a fountain, plazas and
courtyards, entry columns and decorative fencing, planters, tree grates, planter bowls, decorative
bollards, trash receptacles and lighting and is conceptually shown on the plans. The plans need
to be revised to include brick pavers for all plazas and gathering areas, planter bowls, sculpture
in the fountains, decorative lighting on all sides of the retail and mixed use buildings to
coordinate with the proposed pedestrian lighting, and benches along all the plazas in front of the
retail buildings.
The landscape plan shows a variety of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. To reinforce the
concept of street level interest the plan needs to include more areas of perennials and annuals
throughout the project including planting beds along Flying Cloud Drive and Prairie Center
Drive, planter pots/boxes in front of all of the retail buildings, and hanging baskets on all plaza
and gathering areas.
All signs in the proposed plans will be reviewed at the time of building permit issuance for
conformance with City code.
Transportation
While land use and transportation capacity should be in balance, some traffic congestion should
be accepted as a sign of a vital and desirable area. Efficient use of roadways and mobility on key
through movement roadways should be protected. One aspect of efficient road use means a mix
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
October 5, 2007
Page 5
of land uses that spread peak movements more evenly across the day and can be accomplished
by a mix of housing, retail and/or employment.
The Presbyterian Homes redevelopment project is a mix of housing and retail use with primary
access from Prairie Center Drive, a key through movement roadway.
A traffic study for the project was completed by SRF Consulting Group, Inc. and is dated April
13, 2007. The traffic study evaluated the traffic impacts on the adjacent roadway system based
on land use assumptions, trip generation estimates and traffic impacts identified in the Major
Center Area Study with those of the proposed Presbyterian Homes project. The completed
traffic study is included in the Presbyterian Homes EAW.
The results of the traffic study are summarized as follows:
• The Major Center Area traffic study provides a framework for re-development in the
Major Center Area and identifies the necessary transportation improvements to
accommodate the anticipated re-development. The traffic generating characteristics of
the proposed Presbyterian Homes re-development are slightly less than what was
anticipated in the Major Center Area study for the affected parcels. As a result no
additional major transportation improvements are identified with the Presbyterian Homes
re-development. Due to its overall size and near term construction, the Presbyterian
Homes re-development may accelerate the need for several transportation improvements
identified in the Major Center Area Study. However, none of the improvements are
directly linked to or the responsibility of the proposed re-development.
• As additional redevelopment occurs transportation improvements in the Major Center
Area will continue to be monitored and implemented on an area-wide basis dependent on
the actual size, location, and timing of re-development throughout the Major Center Area.
As part of the proposed development, the developer will construct a right turn lane on Prairie
Center at Commonwealth Drive. The proposed right turn lane will improve the safety and traffic
operations of the intersection.
Transit
A future bus circulator service primary route is along the outer ring road described as Valley
View Road and Prairie Center Drive. The Southwest Transit Station is to be used as the terminal
and inter-modal connector to the regional and local bus service. The Presbyterian Homes
redevelopment will impact a future bus circulator with increased ridership, and may include trips
to access future light rail transit (LRT) with its primary location for the station adjacent to the
Town Center.
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
October 5, 2007

Urban Design
The relationship of buildings to streets, and the experience of drivers, walkers and bicyclists as
they travel the public streets, sidewalks, paths and trails in the MCA are important to the area’s
overall sense of place. A positive sense of place, one that defines a distinct identity and
recognizable features, landmarks and patterns of development and open space, is something that
has a high value for the future of the MCA.
Projects should include:
• The pedestrian environment should be made attractive as a result of building orientation,
scale, and entrances to buildings.
• Pedestrian level theme lighting and plantings are important.
• Public art should be encouraged.
• Public amenities should include plazas, open spaces, landscape spaces, seating areas and
pedestrian elements.
• Sidewalks should be included for all projects.
• Sidewalks should invite pedestrian movement.
The plans show:
• An artistic obelisk as public art in roundabout.
• A fountain and a cascading water pool adjacent to the outside dining areas.
• Decorative pedestrian lighting along the sidewalks on both sides of the central parkway
and in front of the mixed use retail building.
• The land use section recommends building, site plan and landscape changes for
pedestrian scale and public amenities.
• There are internal and external sidewalks in the project.
The plans should be revised to include the following urban design elements:
• Brick pavers for all plazas and gathering areas.
• Planter bowls and benches along all of the plazas in front of the retail buildings.
• Sculpture in the fountains.
• Hanging baskets on all plazas and gathering areas.
• Decorative lighting on all plazas and gathering areas and on all sides of the retail and
mixed use buildings.
Pedestrian Features and Facilities
As development density increases in the MCA and more residents, workers and shoppers spend
part of their daily routine in the area, increased demand and presences of walkers should result.
This will make the interconnected system of paths, sidewalks and trails increasingly successful
and usable.
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
October 5, 2007
Page 7
The Presbyterian Homes redevelopment will include completing site perimeter sidewalks and an
intricate system of internal sidewalks, crosswalks and plazas throughout the development
connecting residential uses to all retail buildings.

1. Lot size less than 5 acres for lots 1-4. Code minimum is 5 acres.
2. Floor Area Ratio of .873 for building E. Code maximum is .40
3. Building height of 36 feet for building A. Code maximum is 30 feet.
4. Building height of 52 feet for mixed use retail building E. Code maximum is 30 feet.
5. Exterior building materials of less than 75% face brick, glass, and natural stone for buildings
6. Parking of 1 space per unit for affordable senior residential above retail building E. Code

7. Front yard setback to building of 30 feet from Prairie Center Drive for building F and H.
Code requires 35 feet.
8. Front yard setback to parking of 17.5 feet from Prairie Center Drive for building A and B.
Code requires 35 feet.
The waivers are consistent with the planning principles of the MCA Study for taller buildings,
higher densities, shared parking, pedestrian interest, and pedestrian systems.
The staff does not support the material waivers as proposed. We are comfortable with the use of
cultured stone but the percentage of EFIS is too high and should be reduced to no more than 25%
for any elevation of any retail building.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE REPLACEMENT
A total of 3,290 caliper inches of landscaping is required based on the square footage of all
buildings. A total of 1,461 caliper inches of significant trees are located on the property, the
Staff Report – Presbyterian Homes Eden Prairie Redevelopment
October 5, 2007
Page 8
majority of which was planted landscaping when the existing buildings were built. A total of
1,461 caliper inches of significant trees will be lost due to construction. Tree replacement is
1,943 caliper inches.
The landscaping together with the tree replacement is 5,234 caliper inches. The plan provides
2,095 caliper inches.
It is not possible to meet the total tree replacement on site. The plan includes some of the in-kind
landscaping design amenities necessary based on a caliper inch equivalent for the remaining
trees, including a fountain/sculpture, planter bowls, seating walls and benches, decorative
fencing and large planting beds of perennials and annuals.
Costs associated with the remainder of the caliper inches shall be used as follows:
Additional public art/sculptures in the public gather spaces, brick pavers for all plazas in front of
the retail buildings and public gathering areas, use of natural stone for seating walls, and
benches, additional decorative fencing, planter bowls, and large planting beds of perennials and
annuals.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The preliminary plat shows five lots and additional right-of-way dedication along Prairie Center
Drive to accommodate a right-turn lane into the project. Castlemoor Drive right-of-way is
proposed to be vacated.
ACCESS
Access to the project will be from Columbine Road, Prairie Center Drive opposite
Commonwealth Drive, and Castlemoor Drive.
The westerly half of Castlemoor Drive will become a private road terminating in a roundabout at
the entrance to the Fountain Place retail development to the south. The developer should
continue to coordinate the final design for the roundabout with the owners of the Fountain Place
development. The easterly half of Castlemoor Drive will be removed as part of the overall
development. The developer will be required to maintain a viable access through the property
between the Fountain Place retail and Prairie Center Drive at all times during project
construction.
The access road from Columbine Road includes a median opening for left turns into the
pharmacy as part of phase one construction. Once this internal access road is extended for use
by construction traffic or permanently built as part of phase 2 or phase 3 the left turn median
opening will be eliminated.

UTILITES AND DRAINAGE
Storm water will be treated to NURP standards. Infiltration is addressed with the use of
rainwater gardens however the City’s goal of 3/4 inch of infiltration from impervious surfaces
has not been met. The plans need to be revised to meet the city goal.
All buildings will be connected to City sewer and water.
WETLANDS
An existing wetland is located in the northwest portion of the project. The wetland will remain.
The plans show encroachment into the wetland buffer and structure setbacks; however the
alternative wetland buffer standards have been met. A waiver for the structure setback will be
required.
SUMMARY
The Comprehensive Guide Plan and the MCA Study are guiding documents for the existing and
future use of land. Since both documents guide the future uses supported by policies it allows
the market palace to be creative and gives the City the flexibility to accept proposals that are not
an identical match but accomplish important land use, house, and development goals. The plan
as proposed has less housing and more commercial than the MCA Plan and some of the
buildings are taller than envisioned, however the plan does accomplish many desirable things:
• Consistency with the intent of the MCA Study for Sub area 4.
• Provides for the continued need of senior related housing.
• Additional mixed use retail, shops and restaurants complement the housing, support
surrounding retail, and complete a significant commercial corner of the MCA.
• Pedestrian friendly linkages between housing and retail services.
• Use of shared parking for the mixed use and retail.
• Reduced parking requirements for the senior housing.
• Transition of building heights from single-story retail, four-story mixed use, and the high-
rise housing elements provide scale and interest.
• Significant views of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area from the proposed housing
element.
The staff believes the use of the property is correct as a mixed land use plan, however there are a
number of areas where the plan should be adjusted to meet performance standards of the MCA
Study and the City code. These are as follows:
• Greater horizontal relief/shadows of all elevations, especially the at the corners.
• Incorporate front door architecture on all sides of the buildings. Tower elements should
be added to the corners of each retail buildings.
• Reduce the percentage of EFIS on each retail building to no more than 25%.

• Public art/sculptures in the public gathering spaces.
• Brick pavers for all plazas in front of the retail buildings and public gathering areas.
• Use of natural stone for seating walls.
• Benches and planter bowls in front of all retail buildings.
• Hanging baskets on all plazas and gathering areas.
• More decorative fencing.
• Large planting beds of perennials and annuals.
• Decorative lighting on all plazas and gathering areas and on all sides of the retail and
mixed use buildings

Request for:
Guide Plan Change from High Density Residential and Regional
Commercial to High Density Residential and Community Commercial on
21.3 acres; Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 21.3 acres;
Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 21.3 acres;
Zoning District Change from RM-2.5, RM-6.5 and community Regional
Service to RM-2.5 and Community Commercial on 21.3 acres; Site Plan
Review on 21.3 acres; Preliminary Plat of 21.3 acres into five lots and
road right-of-way.
John Mehrkens, representing Presbyterian Homes, presented the proposal.
He pointed out Presbyterian Homes has been around 52 years and is the 4th
largest non-profit senior housing provider. Their mission is to provide a
broad continuum of care to older adults. They acquired the Castle
Ridge/Broadmoor site in 2003/2004 and would like to expand their
service. The planning request is a joint application of Presbyterian Homes
and 605 Prairie Center Drive, LLC. The City Staff encouraged this
relationship. The overall Planned Unit Development includes 707 housing
units and 70,000 square feet of retail and restaurant uses to be constructed
in three phases between 2008 and 2012. Mr. Mehrkens also pointed out
they have several MCA plan consistencies, such as, structured parking,
mixed use of buildings, and ground floor retail with housing on top.
Kirk Velett, architect for the project, talked about the housing aspect of
this project. The building masses consist of varied building heights,
diverse roof forms, horizontal and vertical articulation and sensitivity to
surrounding site edges. Mr. Velett utilized the overhead projector to
illustrate the location of the buildings.
Kathy Anderson, architect consortium, addressed the retail aspect of this
project. She stated CVS Pharmacy would be on the corner of this project
with an area next to it for a bank. She also utilized the overhead projector
to illustrate the location of the store fronts and the walking and sitting
areas located by the store fronts. Ms. Anderson pointed out there is a
gathering plaza on a large enough scale to accommodate an outdoor
concert. There would also be a turn-around in the complex.
Miles Lindberg, discussed the landscaping aspect of the project. He said
lots 1-4 meet the landscaping requirements. He pointed there is a shortfall
in lot 5. Because of the shortfall, site enhancements have been included
with this project. Such as, green roof area, concrete paver areas, a water
wall fountain, a pool and fountain, a cascading fountain, bronze sculpture,
and decorative pedestrian lights. All of these enhancements total
$1,064,000.
Kirk Velett, stated sustainable design includes such things as; green roofs,
below grade garage, rain gardens, porous parking surfaces, porous pavers,
Xcel energy review, recycling existing building materials where possible,
and building materials from sustainable sources. Mr. Velett stated the
building materials would consist of cultured stone instead of quarried
stone. This stone provides additional interest, is more “green” and is more
durable, and maintenance free.
Mr. Mehrkens summarized by stating this project is a mixed use project
that is more unique to Eden Prairie. This project also adds neighborhood
retail and closely matches the goals described in the City MCA plan and
other City initiatives. Mr. Mehrkens pointed out they will be willing to
work with Staff on any issues they have in regards to this project.
Stoelting asked Kipp to address the staff report. Kipp said the Staff does
not recommend any land use changes but on page 10 of the staff report
there are recommendations to the project and because of those
recommendations, Staff recommends continuance of the project to comply
with plan requests.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input.
Don Uram, of 13600 Carmody Drive, showed a power point presentation.
He stated he is not against the project but feels there are issues with the
project. He lives on the back side of Purgatory Creek. Mr. Uram showed
pictures of mature trees in the area currently covering the buildings. He
also showed Flagship Corporate Center, which is a 4-story complex that is
still an imposing building. He also showed a 10-story building from
across the lake and it was still covered by mature trees. Because of the
potentially large tree loss on this property, they will not be covering up the
buildings in the area. He is concerned with the height of the proposed
buildings in the area and that they will not fit into the existing area. He is
also concerned with the amount of tree loss to the area.
Vernon Swing, engineer, representing Fountain Place, stated they are in
support of this project and have been working with City Staff and
Presbyterian Homes to resolve traffic issues. He feels this project will
create traffic issues and that there would be other site designs that could
eliminate these issues. He utilized the overhead projector to show where
these would be located. The first issue to change would be the drive aisle
in the southeast corner of the site. They would like to see this aisle
realigned to the front of the building. Mr. Swing also pointed out it is vital
to maintain access to Prairie Center Drive. The third issue would be
inclusion of cross access to this site and lastly, a resolution needs to be
reached where both parties are happy with the construction of Castlemoor
Drive. Semi-trucks cannot utilize a circular route on Castlemoor Drive.
Steve Caruso, of 8500 Franlo Road, had some thoughts in regards to this
discussion. First thing is he asked what age group this housing will be
catering too. He pointed out this would be elderly and assisted living
housing and said there are already two facilities in this area. And with
three facilities in this area there would be a lot of ambulance traffic; which
would create a lot of anxiety amongst the residents. He also asked if there
would be transportation for the residents to Eden Prairie Center.
Stoelting summarized the issues as followed:
1. Concern with building height so close to the recreational areas.
2. Tree loss.
3. Fountain Place and issues raised by them.
4. What age group will this site cater to?
5. Ambulance noise.
6. Transportation to Eden Prairie Center.
Mr. Mehrkens addressed the building height and said the intent was to
make this a high density use site. They wanted to embrace this by design.
In going back to the site plan, they are trying to be sensitive to the areas
exposed by Purgatory Creek by creating different levels to the building.
In regards to the circular turn-around, they have demonstrated trucks can
turn around in the area, but they also do not want a lot of truck traffic in
that area. Columbine access is more convenient for truck traffic. Mr.
Mehrkens said the age group this site will cater to is 55 and over. He
pointed out 210 units are for independent living. In addition, there are
high level care units for those individuals needing assistance.
Stoelting asked Franzen to address this issue. Franzen said in a 2000
census, out of approximately 55,000 people, approximately 5,000 were
over the age of 55. He stated the hosing units by type vary throughout the
City and according to records from 2006, 700 senior units were built from
1980 to present.
Stoltz asked Mr. Mehrkens if it was pure economics to have a building
with different levels from 9 stories to 13 stories. Mr. Mehrkens said
density issue is an economic need because of soil issues in the area. Stoltz
asked, in regards to porous parking surfaces, if this type of parking was for
the whole area or just a few spots. Mr. Mehrkens said the porous parking
surface would be in just the center section of the site. Because of the cost
issues, they tried to sustain this in this area.
Stoltz asked about the traffic circle and why they do not think it would be
a problem. Dan Parks, from Westwood Engineering, said when Fountain
Place was built, they had traffic access points to the west side, which
could access out to Hwy 212 or Columbine Road. The turn-around was
designed not to have trucks coming in and out of this point, but it would
also be capable of handling the truck traffic.
Stoltz asked about replacing trees with other upgrades and asked what the
intent with that was. Mr. Mehrkens said the tree loss of 3,000 calipers
could not be replaced; which constituted a dollar amount of $300,000 to
$350,000. What they did was to come up with approximately $1,000,000
of upgrades. Stoltz asked if this had been done before. Franzen said this
has been done before with Windsor Plaza. This project proponent is
trying to do sustainable things, such as water flow quality and they are
also trying to encourage public gathering places. They are doing these
upgrades because the landscaping has been maxed out in this area.
Pitzrick asked, in regards to effis, if it was downgraded to 5% from 20%
he would like to see the amount of effis minimized on this project. Mr.
Mehrkens said effis is reduced to the first floor retail buildings; using it
only in sign band areas where it economically makes sense.
Pitzrick said he would like to see a pedestrian bridge over Prairie Center
Drive. Mr. Mehrkens said he would like to see that also. Pitzrick
pointed out the bridge will relieve congestion on Prairie Center Drive; he
believes this needs to be looked at more comprehensibly.
Stoelting asked Staff to address the topic of traffic improvements. Gray
said the potential for a walk way would have to include more need than
just this project. He stated there is a 50-50 probability that in 20 years this
will transpire.
Pitzrick stated the parking lot in front of the retail area is very significant
and he would like to see this broken up a bit. Mr. Mehrkens said a lot of
parking is squeezed into other areas and the retailers need this parking in
this area. He pointed out it is pedestrian friendly in its convenience to
store fronts. Pitzrick suggested pushing the building back 10 feet to the
west. Mr. Mehrkens said they have moved the buildings around and feel
this is the best location for this site, but they will look at it again.
Pitzrick asked if they considered green roofs for the first story buildings.
Mr. Mehrkens said it was an economic issue and that he does realize
people in the high-rise will be looking at this, but his hopes are they will
look out on the view rather than down on the roof.
Pitzrick said in regards to flames burning in the round-about, it might be
better not to have gas burning in that area. He asked about the trash
enclosures to the south of the building and said they looked undesirable.
Ms. Anderson said they were made of the same design as the other
buildings, so they would fit in better to the area. Stoelting asked if all of
the buildings had trash receptacles. Ms. Anderson used the overhead
projector to show where the trash receptacles would be located.
Pitzrick commented he liked the design of the buildings and liked the
project in general.
Stoelting asked Mr. Mehrkens to talk about the three phases of the project.
Mr. Mehrkens said Phase 1 would be the building of CVS. Phase 2 would
be the senior housing and Phase 3 would be the all age housing.
Stoelting asked about underground parking and would there be one or two
entrances. Mr. Velett said in the senior building there would be two
entries into the garage because there are two floors. In the other building
there are three levels of underground parking. There is also parking on the
main street level.
Stoelting asked if there was a bus service to take residents over to Eden
Prairie Center. Mr. Mehrkens confirmed there would be a bus to take
them over to the Mall.
Stoelting asked how traffic was going to go through the CVS drive-thru.
Mr. Mehrkens said the best location for the drive-thru is in the back of the
building. He illustrated this using the overhead projector. Stoelting asked
if there was a challenge with vehicular movement in regards to the drive-
thru. Mr. Mehrkens said there should not be because of the center median
and that traffic would be turning to the left to get out of the pharmacy.
Koenig stated affordable housing is normally rental units and asked how
affordability can be maintained in this complex. Mr. Mehrkens said there
is a tax rebate given over time, which offsets the cost of operating this site.
Koenig said she has a problem with thirteen stories and does not like the
location of these buildings. She feels this will affect the quality of the
recreational area. She asked the Commission if they wanted to go with 13
stories. Schultz said he is also concerned about building height. He asked
Mr. Mehrkens if the units were pre-sold. Mr. Mehrkens said there were
not pre-sold. Stoelting asked Franzen what the market area says about the
height of buildings. Franzen said it is about 7-10 stories high in the
market study. Stoelting stated this proposal is a little higher than what was
previously discussed and asked the project proponent if the buildings
could come down in height. Mr. Mehrkens said they could bring two
buildings down in height but the other would go up in height to
compensate for the difference.
Koenig said she likes this project and the City needs it, but she feels the
buildings are too high.
Pitzrick said if the buildings were cut down to half the size they would
take up more green space to accommodate for the loss of occupancy.
Stoelting asked if any of the other Commission members were
uncomfortable with the building heights. Powell said he thinks the
building should be half of this height and said it is out of character for the
area.
Franzen stated that historically there has been resistance to large and tall
buildings at the time of public review, but after they were built the
structures appeared to be the right size and in the right location. He added
that although the buildings are taller than the MCA Study, there is a good
reason for this. The taller buildings allows room on the property to
include items that the City has determined to be important, such as public
gathering spaces, sidewalks, fountains, public art, rain gardens, pavers,
affordability, etc. Franzen noted that the staff directed the developer to
have taller building, provided there are varying heights, a unique
architecture and variety of building materials and that this would be a
better plan than one that met the guidelines precisely with each building at
10 stories. Franzen added that Commission could ask for a plan that
conforms to the MCA study, but that would be 1200 units which would
leave no room for commercial or amenities.
Rocheford asked Kipp if the recommendation was to still continue this
project. Kipp said the project could move forward based on
recommendations from the Commission. Stoelting asked if it was
approved, could it be contingent on conditions on page 9 and 10 of the
staff report. Kipp concurred.
Pitzrick commented the location of this project allows more access to the
park.
MOTION by Rocheford, seconded by Seymour, to close the public
hearing. Motion carried 8-0.
MOTION by Pitzrick, seconded by Schultz, to recommend approval of
the Guide Plan Change from High Density Residential and Regional
Commercial to High Density Residential and Community Commercial on
21.3 acres; Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 21.3 acres;
Planned Unit District Review with waivers on 21.3 acres; Zoning District
Change from RM-2.5, RM-6.5 and Commercial Regional Service to RM-
2-5 and Community Commercial on 21.3 acres; Site Plan Review on 21.3
acres and Preliminary Plat of 21.3 acres into five lots and road right-of-
way based on plans stamped dated October 5, 2007, and the staff report
dated October 5, 2007.
Stoelting asked if there was any discussion to the motion. Pitzrick added
to the motion, “and coordination of round-about with neighboring property
owner.” Motion carried 6-1, with 1 abstention.

RE: Traffic Impacts to Fountain Place Retail Site — Updated Comments
Presbyterian Homes Proposed Mixed-Use Development
RLK Project No. 2007-146-M
Background
RLK Incorporated has been retained by the ownership of Fountain Place to conduct a review of the
potential traffic impacts to the operation of the existing Fountain Place retail site due to proposed
development of the Presbyterian Homes Mixed-Use site in Eden Prairie.
On May 2'1 , 2007, RLK submitted a memo to the City outlining concerns with several aspects of both
off- and on-site roadway design. Of primary concern was the design of the roundabout in the southern
portion of the Presbyterian Homes site.
Presbyterian Homes responded to RLK's memo with a letter dated May 24 th , 2007. In this letter,
Presbyterian Homes indicated changes to the Westwood plans had been made or would be forthcoming
that would address the RLK/Fountain Place concerns.
On June 8 th , RLK met with Westwood in an attempt to resolve remaining design issues. The meeting
focused primarily on the design of the roundabout. After putting the project on hold for a couple of
months, Westwood resubmitted civil plans to the City the week of August 20 th , 2007. The revised plans
do address many of the comments from the May 2`th RLK memo. However, several major design issues
do remain, primarily having to do with the roundabout. These remaining issues must be resolved prior to
site plan approval.

Remaining Issues
A. Ro.undabgut Design
The design of the intersection of Castlemoor Drive and Commonwealth Drive has evolved to become a
standard roundabout, as opposed to a traffic circle. This evolution is beneficial both in terms of safety as
well as vehicular operational efficiency. Despite this change, the current design of the roundabout
remains deficient in many respects. A properly designed and well-functioning roundabout is in the best
interests of both Fountain Place and Presbyterian Homes. Accordingly, RLK's review of the roundabout
covered all aspects of roundabout design, not simply operational efficiency. On behalf of Fountain Place,
RLK asIs that all of the following deficiencies be corrected prior to site plan approval:
1. Yield Line and Crosswalk Location. The design should be modified to locate the yield line at
tht end Of the4Pliftei iilarid, With one car length (approximately 20 feet) back to the crosswalk.
2. Reverse Curvature. As designed, three of the four sides of the roundabout include reverse
curvature, which should be eliminated.
3. 270 0 right turn. Westwood's proposed design requires trucks entering Fountain Place from
-Gastlernoar-Drive-to -maneuver 2-70° around the roundabout before turning south into the site in
—order-to-avoid-overtracking outside of the roundabout. Requiring trucks to make this Maneuver is
unduly burdensome to the ownership of Fountain Place.
4. Size of Truck Apron. The purpose of a truck apron is to provide a paved area so that the trailing
wheels of large trucks do not overtrack onto landscaped areas of the central island. Typical truck
aprons range in width from 6-12 feet. The current design calls for a truck apron measuring 27
feet in width. A truck apron of this size will potentially lead drivers to use it as a second travel
lane, dramatically impacting safety.
5. Paving Materials. Following up on the previous concern, the materials used to pave the truck
apron should contrast visually from the materials used for the traveled way. As designed, a single
unique material for the traveled way and truck apron appears to be proposed (the detail on page
16 is not clear). Further, six concrete "bands" run transverse across the entire width of the truck
apron/traveled way.
6. Street Lighting. Street lights should be provided on all four "corners" of the roundabout (where
the legs meet the circulatory roadway).
7. Central Island Landscaping. Landscaping for the center island of the roundabout should be
planned in such a way as to eliminate items that may entice pedestrians to cross to the center
island to get a closer look. Page 17 of the plans details an obelisk with "precast medallions" to be
located in the center island. Care should be taken to ensure this entire design feature is able to be
appreciated by pedestrians from the exterior of the roundabout (65 feet away).
8. General Landscaping. Landscaping located close to the circumference of the circulatory
roadway may interfere with the ability of drivers approaching the yield to see vehicles already in
the roundabout to which they might need to yield. Sight triangles for all for legs should be
checked to ensure adequate sight distance is provided.

B. Parking Lot Cut-Through
The May 2 thi RLK memo asked Presbyterian homes to relocate the parking cut through on the southeast
portion of the Presbyterian Homes site "approximately ten parking stalls to the northwest to align with the
parking drive aiSles in both the Presbyterian Homes and Fountain Place sites, allowing easier movement
between the two Sites." In their May 24' response memo, Presbyterian Homes indicated they were
willing to make the adjustment. The current plans, however, do not show a change. Fountain Place
ownership asks that this modification be made prior to site plan approval.
C. Construction Access
Presbyterian Homes states in their response letter, "It is our intention to maintain circulation [from
Fountain _Place] to Prairie Center Drive via either Castlemoor Drive or the new boulevard throughout all
pliases -ethe tlivelopnient." Fountain Place ownership asks that site plan approval be conditioned on
maintenance of such access throughout construction.
D. Permanent Cross Access Easement
Piesbyterian Homes states in their response letter, "We are open to a cross access easement in favor of
Fotmtain-Place -and will be happy to visit with them about cross easements." Fountain Place ownership
asks-that-site -plan-approval be conditioned on inclusion of a cross access easement.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Request to locate the Eden Prairie Lions
Club Memorial within Round Lake Park
ITEM NO.: XII.A.
Motion
Move to: Support the request from the Eden Prairie Lions Club and to authorize staff to
enter into an agreement with the Lions Club to locate the Lions Club Memorial
within Round Lake Park.
Synopsis
City staff has been approached by members of the Eden Prairie Lions Club with a request to
locate the Lions Club Memorial within Round Lake Park. Previously, the memorial was located
on the corner of Valley View and Eden Prairie Road. When the road was upgraded and widened,
the memorial was removed due to lack of space and proper set-backs.
The memorial consists of a brick monument, a statue of a lion, a flagpole with a light and a brick
patio. In addition to many other donations to parks and programs, the Lions contributed to the
funding and construction of the pavilion at Round Lake Park. Round Lake Park is also the
location where the Lions Club conducts the Corn Feed and Schooner Days events. The area that
is being proposed to locate the memorial is near the picnic pavilion and would tie-in with the
previous contributions from the Lions Club. Members of the Lions Club attended the September
4, 2007, Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting to review the request.
The Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council to accept the request.
The agreement has been drafted and approved by the City Attorney. Members of the Lions Club
will be in attendance at the meeting to answer additional questions.

Dear Mr. Lofthanamer:
June 16,2007
The Eden Prairie Lions Club established a Memorial on Lil' Red property on the corner
of Valley View Road and Eden Prairie Road in 1997. The Memorial consists of a brick
monument, a lion, a flagpole with light, and a brick patio approximately ten feet by
twelve feet. The monument has an area for inscribed plaques listing the diseased
members of the Lions and Lioness clubs. The Memorial had to be removed for the recent
reconstruction of the intersection.
Questions have been raised about the long-term viability concerning replacing the
Memorial on Lil' Red property.
We therefore request the City to allow the Club to site the Memorial on City Parkland. It
would.seem appropriate that Round Lake Park be considered with the Lions long history
of involvement in that park. The Lions Club funded the picnic shelter where we have our
annual cornfeed and Lions Club Schooner Days is also held in the park.
Enclosed are pictures and a sketch of the Memorial for your information.
We look forward to starting the process of site selection and approval.
Please contact Luther Nelson, Committee Chairman, at 952-906-7620 to schedule
meetings or for more information.
Sincerely,
Bruce Enger, President

VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. LIONS CLUB MEMORIAL
Lotthammer introduced Luther Nelson and Mike Gust, members of the Eden Prairie Lions
Club explaining that the Lions Club is requesting permission to locate their Lions Club
Memorial within Round Lake Park. Previously, the memorial was located on the corner of
Valley View Road and Eden Prairie Road. When the road was upgraded and widened, the
memorial was removed due to lack of space and proper setbacks. Lotthammer further
explained that the Lions Club had previously contributed towards the pavilion at Round Lake
and are now asking that the memorial be placed near that pavilion.
Brill thanked the Lions Club for their service to the community. He asked if there had been
any discussion about placing the memorial at Purgatory Creek Park rather than Round Lake.
Lotthammer said there had not been any discussion with staff regarding placing the memorial
at Purgatory Creek. The Lions did contribute $8,000 towards the pavilion and there has been
a lot of involvement by the Lions at Round Lake Park and that is why the Lions suggested
placing the memorial in that park. Gerst said he is in favor of the memorial but also
questioned whether or not Purgatory Creek Park had been considered. Lotthammer said his
initial reaction to placing the memorial at Purgatory Creek is that while working with the
Veterans Memorial group and the configuration of the park and the various trails, the park is
beginning to feel a bit squished. Lotthammer said he was not sure where they would be able
to fit this memorial in that park.
Fox explained that the Lions basically started a lot of the activities at Round Lake. In
identifying a park with a service club, the Lions Club is most easily identified with Round
Lake and this memorial seems to be an appropriate use of this area. This park is also where
the Lions’ sponsored Schooner Days is held.
Gerst asked if there is a cost to the City for relocating this memorial. Lotthammer responded
that Hennepin County has committed money to install the memorial that was impacted by the
road construction. Nelson explained that the County paid for the removal and storage of the
memorial and will pay for its relocation through transportation funds.
Barrett asked if they are setting a precedent for other groups and questioned if they should be
concerned with other organizations asking to place memorials in other parks. Fox responded
that there are other service groups in the City and this is certainly something worth
discussing. Barrett said if that is the case, perhaps they should consider placing all memorials
in Purgatory Creek. He indicated that his concern is that other organizations may want to
place memorials on City property. Originally, this memorial was on private property and now
they are asking that it be placed on City property.

Oko asked how long the Lions Club has been sponsoring the corn feed and Schooner Days at
this park. Gust explained that the Lions Club was chartered in 1960 and the first corn feed
was held in 1973 and Schooner Days has been at Round Lake since the early 70’s. Oko asked
if any of these events are supported with City funds. Gust said that the Lions Club funds
these activities.
Bierman said he feels the placement of this memorial in Round Lake Park is a natural fit
because of the Lions’ background at Round Lake. He said that if someone can show the
dedication to a particular area in the City that the Lions Club has shown at Round Lake, they
should consider welcoming those people in placing a memorial in that area.
Oko asked when this memorial would be reconstructed at Round Lake. Nelson responded
that once they receive approval from the City, they would get a contract for the project in the
fall to have the work done in the spring.
Napuck said she feels that if they are concerned about setting a precedent, they should
somehow develop some guidelines as to what contributions have been made by the
requesting group to the area that they are requesting to place a memorial in. Clearly this park
has meaning to the Lions Club and it seems appropriate to have the memorial placed there.
Barrett said it would be difficult to quantify the contributions made. You can say a
significant contribution was made at a location but what does that mean. Oko pointed out that
in addition to the $8,000 contributed by the Lions Club for the pavilion, they have
contributed 50 years of work into the community and it is clear that Eden Prairie has
benefited from their contribution.
MOTION: Bierman moved, seconded by Oko, that as a result of nearly 50 years of
contributions to Round Lake Park, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
supports the request from the Eden Prairie Lions Club to locate the Lions Club Memorial
within Round Lake Park. The motion carried, 6-0-1 with Barrett abstaining. Barrett
explained that he abstained because he feels they should discuss the precedent this action
would set.
B. CAMP EDEN WOOD UPDATES
Lotthammer explained that the purpose for the Camp Eden Wood update this evening is to
present overview steps that have previously been taken, opportunities and constraints that
have been identified, and to seek Commissioners input. The consultant, Jeff Schoenbauer of
Brauer & Associates, will present an overview of the process, request input and outline
future steps to be taken.
Schoenbauer outlined some of the steps taken in developing a master plan for Camp Eden
Wood and explained the contemplated design challenges and opportunities. The plans he is
presenting this evening are broad conceptual plans and they have several things they still
have to work through. Schoenbauer said this evening he would like to review the plans with
this Commission to make sure they have not missed anything the Commission would be
concerned about. He reviewed with the Commission the various concepts and explained that
Agreement Between the City of Eden Prairie and the Eden Prairie Lions Club
for the Placement of a Memorial Monument on City Property
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 13, 2007 by
and between the City of Eden Prairie, a municipal corporation under the laws of the State of
Minnesota (“City”) and the Eden Prairie Lions Club, Inc. (“Club”).
WHEREAS, the Club desires to install and maintain a memorial monument (the
“Memorial”) on City property; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to permit such action, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth in this
Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. Memorial Location. The Memorial shall be located on City property at Round
Lake Park, located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, at a specific location within the
park to be agreed upon by the parties. The Memorial shall be open to the public.
2. Purchase and Installation of the Memorial. The Club shall be solely
responsible for the purchase and installation of the Memorial. The Club shall be
responsible to acquire permits and comply with any building code regulations that
may be applicable to the construction, operation, maintenance and removal of the
Memorial. The Club shall not commence installation of the Memorial until the
City determines that the Memorial meets the requirements of this Agreement.
The Memorial shall be constructed in conformity with the diagram attached as
Exhibit A hereto.
3. Maintenance, Removal and Replacement of the Memorial.
a. The Club shall maintain and repair the Memorial so that the Memorial remains
structurally sound, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. The City may require the
Club to perform whatever maintenance and repair to the Memorial the City deems
necessary.
b. If the Club abandons the Memorial, or does not maintain or repair the Memorial
to the City’s satisfaction, the City may: 1) Require the Club to remove the
Memorial; 2) Perform the maintenance and obtain reimbursement from the Club;
or 3) Assume ownership and take possession of the Memorial.
c. The City reserves the right to temporarily remove the Memorial and/or relocate
the Memorial for any reason. In the event that becomes necessary, the City shall
bear the cost and shall endeavor to minimize the disruption to the Club.

4. Term and Termination.
a. This Agreement shall commence upon execution by both parties. This Agreement
shall be perpetual unless terminated by either party. Either party may terminate
this agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice. In addition,
the City may immediately terminate the Agreement if the Club is in default of any
term of this Agreement.
b. Upon termination of the Agreement, the City may require the Club to remove the
Memorial, or the City may assume ownership and take possession of the
Memorial. If the Club fails to remove the Memorial, the City may remove the
Memorial and obtain reimbursement from the Club.
5. Indemnification. Club shall defend (or, at the option of City, the City may
defend at Club’s reasonable expense), indemnify and hold City harmless from all
claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, losses, fines, expenses, costs, and

litigation expenses that may be brought or made against or incurred by City
arising out of or related to the Memorial and this Agreement.
6. Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Club shall maintain a general

indemnification obligation contained in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.
Club shall maintain in effect all insurance coverage required under this Paragraph
at Club’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do business in
the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less than A-,
unless specifically accepted by City in writing. The insurance policy shall contain
a provision that coverage afforded there under shall not be canceled or non-
renewed or restrictive modifications added, without thirty (30) days prior written
notice to City. A copy of Club’s insurance declaration page, rider or
endorsement, as applicable, which evidences the existence of this insurance
coverage naming the City as an additional insured must be filed with City
before the Memorial is installed. Such documents evidencing insurance shall be
in a form acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory evidence that Club has
complied with this Agreement’s insurance requirements. Renewal certificates
shall be provided to City not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of
any of the required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such
declaration page, rider, endorsement or certificates or other evidence of insurance,
or to advise the Club of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt thereof
shall not relieve the Club from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to enforce
the terms of Club’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to examine any
policy provided for under this paragraph.
3
7. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. Any action or
proceeding in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be
litigated, if at all, in a state or federal court located in Hennepin County,
Minnesota.

of the Club or other parties relevant to this Agreement are subject to examination
by the City and either Legislative Auditor or the State Auditor for a period of six
years after the effective date of this Contract.
10. Discrimination. In performance of this contract, the Club shall not discriminate

marital status, status with regards to public assistance, disability, sexual
orientation, or age against any participant in the Club’s programs, any employee
of the Club, any subcontractor of the Club, or any applicant for employment. The
Club further agrees to comply with all aspects of the Minnesota Human Rights
Act, Minn. Stat. § 363.01, et seq., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
11. Conflicts. No salaried officer or employee of the City and no member of the
Board of the City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this contract.
The violation of this provision renders the Agreement void. No federal
regulations and applicable state statutes shall be violated.
12. Limitation of Remedies and Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL CITY BE
LIABLE TO CLUB, OFFICERS, AGENTS, MEMBERS, INVITEES, OR
ANYONE CLAIMING THROUGH THE CLUB, FOR ANY INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, FOR ANY
MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND
ITS SUBJECT MATTER, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Resolution in Support of Funding for
Highway 212
ITEM NO.: XIV.A.1.
Requested Action
Move to: Adopt the resolution support of funding for Highway 212.
Synopsis
As the federal FY2008 Transportation and HUD Appropriations bill moves to the conference
committee to work out the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill, the
Minnesota Transportation Alliance has asked Minnesota cities to express their official support
for the inclusion of the $1 million in the Senate version of the bill for improvements to US
Highway 212.
Residents and businesses in our area have been waiting for many years for needed improvements
to this major transportation corridor. With continued rapid growth and development, the
demands on our infrastructure are growing and there is concern about a section of US Highway
212 that switches from two lanes to four lanes and back to two lanes. The safety issues are very
real and additional traffic on this highway will compound the problems. The Highway 212
project will require additional funding in order to continue to make progress in improving this
critical transportation facility.
Council Member Nelson has asked for the attached resolution to be placed before the Council for
consideration and approval. She may wish to speak more about the resolution at the meeting.

Resolution
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2007-
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF FUNDING FOR HIGHWAY 212
WHEREAS Highway 212 is a major US highway serving the southwest portion of the state and
has been in need of expansion for decades; and
WHEREAS forty-one communities and local chambers of commerce have passed resolutions
supporting improvements to Highway 212 to expand the capacity of this highway and the Board
of Commissioners of every county along the corridor has passed such a resolution; and
WHEREAS the current highway poses serious safety problems as it switches from a four lane
facility west of Chaska to a two-lane highway, then switches back to a four lane highway around
Cologne and back to a two-lane highway from Cologne to Norwood Young America and would
be much safer and much better able to handle present and projected traffic flows if it were a
continuous four-lane highway through this area; and
WHEREAS Congress and the State of Minnesota have recognized the need to expand this
critical trade link to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and have previously provided funding
through the ISTEA Transportation Authorization bill, TEA-21 Authorization bill, the 2002
Transportation Appropriations bill, the 2003 Transportation Appropriations bill, the 2004
Transportation Appropriations bill and SAFETEA-LU; and
WHEREAS the completion of the expanded Highway 212 from Eden Prairie to Chaska will
occur in 2008, bringing additional traffic to the section of highway between Chaska and
Norwood Young America which needs to be improved for safety reasons; and
WHEREAS an appropriation of $1 million for Highway 212 expansions between Chaska and
Norwood Young America was included in the Senate version of the FY2008 Transportation and
HUD Appropriations bill; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Eden Prairie City Council strongly
supports inclusion of funding for efforts to improve and expand US Highway 212 in the FY2008
Transportation and HUD Appropriations bill.
ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on November 13, 2007.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Energy Consultant for 20/40/15
ITEM NO.: XIV.B.1.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve McKinstry as the Consulting firm to assist the City in its 20/40/15 energy
initiative.
Synopsis
A small committee of City staff from several departments interviewed six consulting firms
specializing in energy related consulting and engineering. After many interviews and proposals,
reference checks and building tours, our committee unanimously agreed that McKinstry was
clearly the most appropriate firm for our 20/40/15 program. Since there will be no “out of
pocket” costs to the City for this energy savings program, there is no cost analysis that can be
used to compare the presentations by the consultants.
Background Information
McKinstry is a traditional “fee for service” consulting firm established in the 1960’s that also
embraces “performance contracting” and the alternative funding process that has been
established in the State of Minnesota via statute MN 471.345. Performance contracting per MN
471.345 means that McKinstry will perform energy audits, identify energy saving projects within
the City, obtain funding for these projects and manage the installation and completion of the
projects. The savings generated by the projects that are implemented will pay for all engineering
and consulting fees, all equipment purchased and labor to install it and all principal and interest
paid to the funding organization. McKinstry must verify energy savings through the life of the
project (up to 15 years) and must guarantee that the savings will pay for all costs of the project as
identified above. If the savings do not pay for these costs, McKinstry is required by law to pay
these costs. There is no cost to the City, unless we direct McKinstry to proceed and then decide
not to go through with the projects that they identify. In this case we would be obligated to pay
for their consulting fees to that point, which have been estimated at $43,000. To fully protect the
City, we will have McKinstry sign our standard Consulting Agreement which was developed by
the City Attorney.
