I I. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 1991 Special Assessment Hearing (Resolution No. 91-240B)
(Continued from November 5, 1991)
City Manager Jullie said that, on direction of the Council
at the November 5th meeting, Staff secured an appraisal for
two representative properties in the Sunrise Circle and
Staring Lane/Ridge Road neighborhood. He said the intent of
the appraisal process was to do a representative appraisal
for the two neighborhoods that would give a general
indication of what the increase in valuation might be due to
the improvements.
Referring to the memo of November 21st from Director of
Public Works Dietz, Jullie said the benefit from the
improvements was determined to be in the range of $11,000-
I
City Council Meeting 2 November 26, 1991
$15,000. He said the conclusion reached was that the •
average increase in value is $13,000 in the neighborhood,
while the average present value of the improvements is close
to $13,300. Based on that conclusion, he said Staff
recommends reducing the assessments by $300 per parcel.
Dietz reviewed the revised assessment roll based on the
recommended reduction of $300 per parcel.
LeRoy Heitz, 9281 E. Staring Lane, said he thought the
appraisal was a slap in the face to the property owners. He
pre6ented statistics on actual sales in the area that he
said would result in a much greater reduction in the
increase value due to the improvements. He referred to a
District Court case in Shakopee that indicated a $9,000
increase in value on what he believed was comparable
property.
Dietz said the $9,000 value is a Prior Lake case. He said
he talked to the City of Prior Lake and they are appealing
the decision. He said that the decision was based on
specific properties and appraisals in Prior Lake and was not
intended to be extrapolated to other areas.
Pidcock asked Dietz who the appraiser was and what his
qualifications were. Dietz said the appraiser was N. Craig.
Johnson who has extensive of experience in real estate in
Eden Prairie.
Pat Hartell, 9140 W. Staring Lane, said she thought there
should have been three appraisals done, since many
corporations require three appraisals in order to determine
property values for relocation purposes. She said she is
disputing the amount of the increase in value and that
$13,000 is sti 11 high.
Tenpas said the appraisal showed a value that was less than
the actual sales presented by Mr. Heitz which took place two
or three years ago. Hartell said she thought the house used
in the appraisal was a newer one and should not have been
used to determine the increase in value for the older homes
in the neighborhood. A discussion followed regarding
property values in the neighborhood.
Pidcock said the Council understands the difficulties of
being in an older neighborhood when improvements are put in;
however, such improvements must be paid for. She said she
thought the City has done everything it possible to be fair
and to lessen the burden placed on the homeowners.
Anderson said these are difficult situations in older
neighborhoods with large lots but he also thought we "walke.
the extra mile." He said he was confident that we have don
the best we could to come up with the fairest possible
appra i sa 1 .
•

•
City Council Meeting 3 November 26, 1991
Tenpas said he was sympathetic to the neighborhood and that
the City changed the entire assessing policy last year in an
attempt to make it more fair.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the
Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 91-240B. Motion
carried 3-0.
B. 1992 Truth-jn-Taxation Hearing -Proposed 1992 Property Tax
Levy and Budget (Resolution No. 91-258)
Jullie said the purpose of this hearing is to allow Eden
Prairie property owners to express their opinions on the
1992 City budget and the proposed amount of property taxes
to be collected next year. He presented a summary of the
proposed budget and the property tax impacts. He noted that
the proposed 1992 property tax levy of $12,469,474 is only a
3.66% increase over 1991.
Tenpas asked Jullie to review the concept of tax capacity
and the related issue of fiscal disparities. Jullie said
the tax base is somewhat eroded by a major factor called
fiscal disparities. He said the application of the fiscal
disparities factor means that the City of Eden Prairie in
1992 will be losing about $4.4 million of our tax capacity
to other communities. He said as a result our taxable value
is dropping by 6% despite $90 million in new construction.
Tenpas explained the history of fiscal disparities and the
efforts the City has made to effect change in the concept
and implementation of fiscal disparities.
Jullie noted that there has been attrition in the City
staff. He said they are also committed to a program of
total quality management and are looking at how Staff can
provide better and more efficient services to the residents
of Eden Prairie.
stewart Horn, 6745 Amherst Lane, said he would like to see a
study done of what could be saved if Eden Prairie were to be
annexed to another community such as Minnetonka. He said
that would eliminate many high paying jobs and would reduce
some of the costs of government. Tenpas responded that
efforts are being made to coordinate projects with other
cities in order to reduce costs.
Anderson noted that attempts made to save money by such
means as year-round school and renting school buildings in
other communities were disliked by Eden Prairie residents.
He said that people must be willing to make trade-offs if
money-saving ideas are to be implemented.
Pidcock said she appreciated the participation in tonight's
meeting and she hoped that those who came to this meeting
would also monitor other units who spend tax dollars.
City Council Meeting 4 November 26, 1991
David Halla, who leases property from the M.A.C., said hiS.
taxes went up 28.3%, so he couldn't understand how the City
can claim to be holding property taxes down. Tenpas said
there was a $10,000 increase in the valuation of the hangar
and that the valuation was done by Hennepin County. He said
only the City Council can control only 10% of the total
increase.
Halla said he thought that the people have lost control of
the government. He said he thought that the varopis
governmental bodies could all whittle down their budgets in
order to take some pressure off the taxpayers.
Tenpas said that people have to use their voting power to
effect change. Pidcock noted that our taxes would be 17%
less if it were not for fiscal disparities. She said she
got involved in local government because she, too, was upset
about taxes.
Doug Marsden, 16650 Baywood Terrace, said he was
representing the Duck Lake Neighborhood Association. He
said they brought a petition to the Council last fall asking
that the Council consider funding a sidewalk from Duck Lake
Trail to Round Lake Park. He said he wanted to express his
disappointment that there is no funding in the budget for
that project and to request that the budget be changed to
include the sidewalk. •
Tenpas noted that this issue was discussed in great detail
along with other locations in the community that should have
sidewalks or trails.
Dietz said the estimated cost for this particular section of
sidewalk is $200,000, of which $65,000 is to build a bridge
spanning the railroad tracks. Tenpas asked if there were
alternatives that might be considered. Dietz said the 3-
foot parapet wall on the bridge is the main problem.
Jessen asked if consideration had been given to extending
the 3-foot parapet and narrowing up the roadway lanes a bit.
Dietz said the County is willing to consider that
possibility; however, we would still need $135,000 for the
trail and the retaining walls that will be required.
Anderson noted that the 1975 HikewaY/Bikeway Task Force had
designated Pioneer Trail and Eden Prairie Road as priorities
for trails and they still haven't been completed. He said
he would like to suggest that we together with the County to
get some estimates and try to get going on these trails.
Tenpas said he would like Staff to come back to next week's
Council meeting with some alternatives to lessen the cost •
for this project.
Deirdre Griswold, 10537 Bluff Road, said she was Chairman of
Minnesota Fair Share and was representing over 1500

taxpayers in Eden Prairie. She said her group is going to
be a report-card organization, reporting before each
election. She said the Council is hearing a level of
frustration that is rising and that we are seeing growth in
government, not with services. She said she knows there are
ways to cut spending so that the City could stay at the
inflation rate plus population growth.
steve Yerkes, 16745 Hilltop Road, asked what the equipment
certificates were. Jullie said this is a vehicle for
borrowing money on an interim basis in order to buy
maintenance equipment.
Yerkes then asked about the $1.382 million for
contingencies. Jullie said that is the amount funded for
capital projects, $500,000 of which will go to fund the
capital improvements project. He said the balance will be
used for the City Hall purchase.
Yerkes asked what happens to retained earnings from the
Liquor Fund. Jullie said they anticipate transferring the
funds to the General Fund. A discussion followed regarding
earmarking earnings from the special funds for specific
projects such as public safety or parks. The consensus was
to have further discussion at the next Council meeting about
the dedication of special funds.
Jessen said he thought the adjustments to compensation
looked a little high. He said he would like to have a
further discussion at the next Council meeting of how those
were arrived at. He said there were a couple of other
capital items and some equipment certificates that also
should be reviewed.
MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Pidcock, to continue the
1992 Truth-in-Taxation Hearing to a special meeting of the
City Council on Tuesday, December 10. Motion carried 4-0.
Dietz suggested that the Council also discuss the Enterprise
Funds at the next regular meeting.

Comprehensive Municipal Plan; Ordinance No. 29-91 -Rezoning from
Rural to R1-13.5; and Resolution No. 91-259 Approving the Preliminary
Plat)
Jullie said notice for the public hearing was properly published in
the November 21, 1991 issue of the Eden Prairie News and mailed to
surrounding property owners.
Tom Robertson, representing Associated Investments, Inc., explained
the details of the project by the use of maps and drawings. He
pointed out that the plan was a change from the original
development proposal for townhouses approved in April 1988. The
reason for the change was that the demand for townhouses was
down, and therefore it had been decided to propose five single-
family houses on the property.
Enger said the Planning Commission had recommended approval of
the item at its October 28, 1991 meeting on a 4-0 vote subject to the
recommendations of the staff reports of October 4 and October 25,
1991.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
recommended approval of the project at its November 18, 1991
meeting on a 5-0 vote.
Anderson said he believed there was a possibility of building a trail
in the area and requested that staff investigate gaining public
access to a trail in the creek area in the development.
Jessen asked Pauly what the City's liability was due to errant golf
balls with the approval of a development close to a golf course.

Pauly said the City would not incur any additional liability in this
case because he believed the development was a reasonable distance
from the golf course.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION
Pidcock moved, second by Harris, to close the public hearing, adopt
Resolution No. 91-227 to Amend the Comprehensive Municipal Plan,
and approve first reading of Ordinance No. 29-91 for Rezoning.
Anderson asked Pauly if the City had any liability in allowing the
development close to a floodplain area. Pauly said approval was
appropriate on any areas outside of the floodplain area and in his
opinion the City would not incur any liability for this reason.

Jullie said notice for this public hearing was properly published in
the Eden Prairie News and mailed to surrounding property owners.
Dan Herbst, representing The Pemtom Company, explained the project
with the use of maps and drawings. He pointed out that this was
the George Schroers farm, west of Dell Road and South of Highway 5.
He said the proposal included three distinct neighborhoods with
separate entrances. The overall development would be called
Winfield, with three neighborhoods called Winfield North with RI-9.5 •

lots, Winfield Meadows, and Winfield on the Lake in which the
properties would be next to the lake. The plan had 19 fewer lots
than the proposal which had been previously approved. He said
there would be eight ponds on the site which would be used for
sedimentation purposes and treatment of storm water, and which
would also be amenities to the site. There would be a sidewalk and
trail system in the development. There would be approximately 32
acres dedicated to the City. He said the plan was to develop the
area in four phases. The proponent also requested approval of a
limited early grading permit, subject to approval from the Watershed
District, because of the unknowns the new agency rules being made
to regulate wetlands. He believed a early grading permit could
possibly avoid a year or year-and-a-half moratorium in obtaining
proper permits for development near wetlands.
Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the item at its
November 4, 1991 meeting and recommended approval on a 4-1-0 vote,
with Norman voting Nay because she was concerned about the
shoreline lot variances. The Planning Commission's approval was
subject to the recommendations of the staff report dated November 1,
1991 and the plans submitted by the proponent dated November 1,
1991. Enger reviewed several items included in the staff report,
pointing out specifically that there would have been more tree loss
than originally anticipated. There was a significant area of large
oak trees in the southeast portion of the property and the
proponent had reworked the plan by eliminating two lots in order to
bring the tree loss down to the 46% recommended by the Planning
Commission.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Commission reviewed the proposal on December 2, 1991 and
recommended approval on a 5-0 vote according to the November 27,
1991 Planning Staff memorandum and the November 1, 1991 Planning
Staff report. The major issues discussed were the tree loss proposal
and park dedication fees. The Commission recommended giving some
value to the dedicated 32 acres and reduce the cash park fees by
$100 per lot. The Commission was concerned about trail construction
and the developer had agreed to develop the trail within the park
before the houses were built.
Harris said she was pleased to hear the trails would be built at the
same time as the houses.
Jessen asked whether an advanced grading permit in this case would
the City get into the same bind as it had in the Purgatory Creek
floodplain situation because of changes of rules along the way.

Dietz said that, assuming approval by the Watershed District, all
permits would be in place for the project. The design standards for
the ponds to which the proponent was being held was beyond what
had been done in the previously-approved PUD and were consistent
with what the Board of Water and Soil Resources plans contemplated.
The uncertainty was where the permitting process would be in six
months and possibly there would be a moratorium on permits, a
situation that the proponent was attempting to avoid.
Conrad Fiskness, 8033 Cheyenne Avenue, Chanhassen, asked if the
northern border of the property abutted the DataServ Property.
Dietz said that was correct. Fiskness asked if the holding pond at
the center of the property was the existing pond at the southern
edge of the DataServ lot. Herbst said no and that it was a new
pond.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION
Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to close the public hearing.
Motion approved 5-0.
•
Anderson asked what the approximate cost of the houses on the Rl-•
9.5 lots would be. Herbst said they would be between $130,000 and
$150,000. Anderson said he believed this was within the guidelines
set by the Human Rights and Services Commission. Anderson said he
was concerned about approving an early grading permit for the
purpose of complying with the federal guidelines before January 1,
1992. Herbst said that the Corps of Engineers had issued a permit
for the grading. The proponent's concern was that the new
authority given to the Board of Water and Soil Resources could delay
issuance of additional permits that would be needed.

IX. APPOINTMENTS
A. Appointment of Resident to Two-year Term on Southwest Metro
Transit Commission.
Jullie said that this was for a two-year term which rotated between
the three member cities. Traditionally the representative had been a
bus rider in the Southwest Metro Transit system. Four candidates
were listed in the agenda packet.
It was the consensus of the Council that the candidates be
interviewed at approximately 6:30 PM prior to the council meeting of
December 17, 1991. Staff was requested to contact the candidates
and notify them of the time and place of the interviews.
X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS
A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS
1. Relationhip Between Staff, Council. and Mayor.
Anderson said he was concerned about the relationship between
the Council and the City Manager as it related to interference on
the part of individual councilmembers or the mayor with the
staff in the performance of duties. He said he would like the
policy on operating procedure clarified.
Tenpas requested that Pauly review the law in this matter.
Pauly said that essentially under a Plan B City, the Council/City
Manager form of government, any direction to staff was to be
made through the City Manager. This did not mean that
individual councilmembers could not receive specific information
from staff members. However, general direction to the staff and
specific requests for action was to be implemented through the
City Manager.
Pauly stated further that Council had the responsibility to set
policy. That policy was to be implemented through the City
Manager, who in turn, guided the City staff.
•
•
Harris said she understood this to mean that the Council's role
was to establish policy and the city manager's role was to •
implement that policy. She asked if the right of Councilmembers
13 ...... -------------

Unapproved
to request information included the right to manage or micro-
manage the functions of the City. Pauly said this right did not
include requesting some actions to be taken by individual staff
persons. Harris asked that if a request for an action were to be
made by an individual councilmember, was it necessary that the
request reflect the opinion of the majority of the Council. Pauly
said it would depend on the request. An individual's request
for action could be appropriate in a minor, non-policy matter,
but in any major type of actions that might be required, the
Council as a whole must determine what that direction would be.
Tenpas asked if it was appropriate if a councilmember called a
special meeting which involved a personnel issue, for the
purpose of letting the person know in advance what was to be
discussed at the meeting and what the councilmember planned to
suggest as an action. Pauly said he believed informing someone
of the subject of the discussion was appropriate, and he
believed it would be a courtesy to the person involved.
Pidcock asked that if it was appropriate for a staff member to
ask a councilmember for an opinion on making a bid, for example.
Pauly said that in order to make the system work, it would have
to be appropriate. From the staff perspective, a lot of time
could be wasted if it did not get some informal idea of where the
Council stood on certain issues. Pidcock asked if the City
Manager had the authority to make an offer on any property in
the name of the Council when the Council had indicated that it
had an interest in the property. Pauly said this was correct as
long as the offer was contingent upon ultimate Council approval.
Anderson said he understood that the daily operations of the
City were the responsibility of the City Manager. He also said
he understood that policy was set by the majority of the Council
and therefore it was the majority of the Council that gave the
direction to the City Manager. Pauly said this was correct. He
asked Pauly if there was any recourse if the majority of the
Council believed there was interference in the daily operation of
the City by one of the councilmembers. Pauly said if an
interference went to the point where it became a violation of a
statute, it could constitute misconduct in office. He said there
was no remedy available to the Council as a whole other than to
adopt a resolution either correcting the direction given or give a
counter-direction.
Harris said she had been concerned about confusion that had
been growing as to roles and responsibilities as it related to
Council versus City staff, particularly unilateral initiatives of
members of the Council and negotiations that could lead to some
confusion on the part of the public. She said she would like to
establish ground rules that would in a general way govern the
14

Unapproved •
Council/staff relationship in the future. Pauly said that they
key principal was that Council gave the general policy
directions, made specific decisions required by statute, and had
the direct authority to employ the City Manager. Individual
councilmembers had the right to interact with staff for purposes
of gathering information, and staff had the prerogative to
interact with councilmembers for the purpose of getting opinions
on various issues. Harris asked who had responsibility for the
actual conduct of the City's business and discharging Council's
policies. Pauly said this was the responsibility of the City
Manager. Harris asked if this included negotiations on behalf of
the City. Pauly said it did.
Jessen observed that Council operates in different styles at
different times and Council routinely assigns to one or more
councilmembers the responsibility for a specific issue. For
example, he said that Anderson and he were assigned to
investigate the Purgatory Creek Wetlands issue, Pidcock was
assigned to represent the Council on the Southwest Area Metro
Transit Commission, and Tenpas and Harris were given the
assignment to evaluate the City Manager performance. In a more
structured system, these assignments would be given to the
staff. He said he believed the model to be followed by Council •
was more collegial, more constructive, and gave support to the
staff.
Harris said she saw a real difference between assignments given
by Council to individual members and individual initiatives
outside of those discussed and delegated by Council.
Tenpas said that the specific issue being discussed was the
review of the City Manager. He said he had some concerns that
he wanted to present to the entire Council before the review
took place. He decided to not call each member at home, but
rather have a meeting to discuss his concerns in an effort to
keep all councilmembers informed of what he believed was
happening in the community. It was also his intent to be open
and honest with the City Manager.
Pidcock said she believed that when actions by anyone of the
councilmembers interfered with the morale and the operation of
the staff, it was a serious matter. She said she believed the
City had an excellent staff and when reprimanding was
necessary, the manager had done it. She believed the Council
should be careful to stay within the policy issues and not be
involved in management.

Anderson said that in the past the city manager's evaluation had
always been done with the full Council and the mayor, after
which it had been turned over to the manager and discussed
with him. He was upset that this had not happened this year.
He said that he had heard that the mayor had asked the city
manager to resign without the authorization of the full Council.
Furthermore, the mayor had not discussed the evaluation with
Councilmember Harris. He believed the mayor's actions were
inappropriate and not within the duties of a mayor.
Tenpas said that he believed it was appropriate to meet with
the city manager to tell him what he planned to present in a
meeting that was supposed to have been held at 6:00 PM on
December 3, 1991. He believed the conversation was a healthy
one. He said he had not asked the city manager to resign.
Harris said she believed an action had been taken that involved
actions and/or options that had not been discussed with the
Council. She believed that discussion should have preceded a
meeting with the city manager.
Tenpas said that he believed this discussion should have been
held in private. Anderson said he disagreed because Tenpas had
taken the action on his own initiative without direction from
Council. Harris said that she wanted the press and the public
to know that her evaluation of Jullie on a Scale of 1-5, 5 being
excellent, was over 4. Anderson and Pidcock commented that
their evaluations were very similar.
Jessen said that he believed the press should not be present for
a city manager evaluation meeting, and the meeting should have
been held at 6:00 PM. He believed the manner in which the
issue had been brought up was very poor.
Harris believed there was a larger issue which was the taking of
unilateral actions. She stressed that the role of the Council was
to establish policy and the role of the city manager was to carry
out that policy.
Anderson added that he believed that Council had not given the
city manager or City staff good direction in 1991.

2. Snow Plowing
Anderson said he knew that residents of the City had been
frustrated with snow plows depositing snow in driveways that
the property owner had already cleared. He said he believed it
would help if the City policy on snow plowing were published in
the newspapers so the residents would understand the
procedures and would therefore know what to expect after a
snowfall. Dietz said he would prepare such an item for the
newspapers.
3. FireFighters Relief Association
Tenpas said that the FireFighters Relief Association would like
the Council to look at the long-term pension program of the
volunteer Fire Department as it related to amounts paid and total
years for vesting. There was some concern in the volunteer
Fire Department that it had become more difficult to recruit
people and to keep them for any length of time. Tenpas would
like staff to do some preliminary work on the problem and bring
it before Council for further discussion. Tenpas said this would
probably effect the 1993 budget at the earliest because of the
•
amount of planning that would be involved to obtain appropriate •
legislation.
4. Traffic Signal at Prairie Center Drive and Singletree Lane
5.
Tenpas asked if there was a way to get a signal light at this
location with TIF funds as the Wal-Mart Store would be
constructed and operating quite soon. Dietz said that at the
December 17, 1991 Council meeting, the TIF improvement projects
would be summarized and authorization requested to hire a
consultant at that point.
Charity Event /
Tenpas said he would like to do something to help needy people
in need in the community, and he would like to suggest a
charity basketball game between City Staff, Council, and School
Board to raise money specifically for PROP. He requested staff
to work on a recommendation for this project. Council agreed
with this suggestion.
6. Street Light on Harmony Place
Pidcock stated that one of the street lights in this area had
been knocked down and she asked whether or not arrangements
for repair had been made. Dietz said that Northern States Power
was responsible for the repairs and had been contacted on this •
matter.

B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
1. Radio Tower Replacement
2.
Jullie said bids were opened on November 21, 1991 for
replacement of the radio tower at the police station. Only one
bid had been received, which was considerably over the estimate
made last year. There had also been a lengthy review process
by the Federal Aviation Administration which specified the height
of the tower. There was a very narrow construction window and
it was important to begin construction very soon. Jullie said
there were funding transfers that could be made to accomplish
this construction. He requested the Council authorize an
agreement with Tim's Tower Service in the amount not to exceed
$96,359 as well as authorizing the transfer of funds to
accomplish the funding of the project.
MOTION
Jessen moved to authorize the transfer of funds and contract
with Tim's Tower Service to build the new radio tower at the
police station in the amount not to exceed $96,359. Seconded by
Harris. Motion approved 5-0.
Discussion of General Fund Budget
Jullie called Council attention to the memorandum of November 29,
1991 outlining the capital outlays that were proposed in the 1992
budget. He also called attention to Dietz's memo of November 29,
1991 presenting the estimated costs related to two trail
constructions: One along County Road 4 for approximately
$140,000; and the second was the County Road 1 trru1 at a cost
of approximately $225,000. Also included was a memo from
Lambert which included a letter from Deborah Campbell-Potter,
Chair of the Historical and Cultural Commission, requesting an
increase in the historical interpreter's hours which would be
approximately a $7,000 increase. He spoke about the additional
information relating to the proposed 1992 employees salary
program as well as budget items with health and life insurance.
Jullie said that in applying the potential salary administration
program to the budget, he believed that the amount for benefits
could be reduced by approximately $50,000 from the amount that
had been proposed. Another item for scrutiny was the liquor
enterprise profits and Jullie called attention to a memo of
December 3, 1991 relating to the potential availability of an
additional $175,000 that should be available from liquor
operations in 1992. He reminded Council that the budget must
be approved by December 20, 1991.

Jessen said that he believed a 10.3% tax rate increase was
difficult to justify at the present time. He said that he believed
a 4% salary adjustment was high based on wage settlements in
the market place. He also suggested that the Council consider
carefully the cost of health benefits as health insurance
premiums had risen 22% in the past year and were expected to
rise at a similar rate next year.
Natalie Swag gert, Director of Human Resources and Community
Services, said that over the past four years, the City had
transferred more and more of the health care cost to the
employees. Currently the City was paying 66% of the health
insurance premiums, with the employee paying 34%. The
industry norm was 67% paid by the employer.
Anderson asked if the employees had ever been surveyed to find
out if they would rather take the increase in health care
benefits or on the paycheck. Swaggert said no such survey had
been done to date.
Tenpas said he believed the City it was necessary for the City
to look at ways to decrease spending in this time of recession.
3. Discussion of Enterprise Funds Budget
Jullie said this was the sewer and water fund program, the bulk
of which was for the operation of the water plant. On the sewer
fund the major billing was from the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission, and customer rates were based on water
consumption. The liquor operations were also included in this
budget.
Tenpas asked what the status was of the third liquor store.
Jullie said that the Prairieview Center location had been
recommended by a consultant but the decision had been made to
delay a decision because of the Highway 5/212 project. Also,
there was not an appropriate facility available at the present
time in the Prairieview Center. Another viable alternative could
be the location near the new Cub Foods store.
John Frane, Finance Director, said the Prairie Village Mall store
had a 31% increase in sales this past year, and the Preserve
Village Mall had had a 20% increase in sales.
Tenpas said he would like Council to discuss maximizing profits
from the liquor sales.

1. Award Contract for Purchase of Sewer Jetter
2.
Dietz said this item was included $87,000 in the proposed 1992
budget. However, because delivery of the sewer jetter takes six
months, he was requesting that Council authorize award of the
contract to Flexible Pipe Tool Company in the amount of $72,471.

Contract for Purchase of Eaton Building for Public Works Facility
Pauly called Council attention to the Purchase Agreement for
Building No.3 from the Eaton Corporation which included seven
acres of land and certain easements for drainage and sprinkling,
for a price of $1,037,500. This amount would be paid in cash at
the closing. He said Eaton would like to close in 1991 if
possible. Pauly said a copy of the environmental review from
Eaton Corporation had been received and Eaton Corporation had
agreed to provide the City with an indemnity agreement. The
agreement stated that if there were any hazardous substances on
the property which the City purchased, Eaton would indemnify
the City against any liability for those substances as well as the
cost of any defense. The same indemnification would apply to
the property being retained by Eaton Corporation.
Deitz said the building was 66,000 square feet and he believed it
met the needs for maintenance equipment and the central location
was a very good one. He said the proposal was to purchase the
building by making a loan from the Utility Reserve F'und and
repay it as the current facility was sold to MnDOT for the
Highway 212 project. He said this was the only mechanism
available to finance the purchase. The old facility, excluding the
fire station portion, had an estimated value of $3 million.
MOTION
Jessen moved to approve the purchase agreement with the Eaton
Corporation for Building No.3 for use as a public works facility,
with funding to come from an internal loan from the Utility
Reserve Fund. Seconded by Harris. Motion approved 5-0.

CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
Meeting Notes
city Council/staff Workshop
December 9, 1991
The city council and its staff met at the Spring Hill Conference Center in
Orono for Part III of the series of "Challenges of Governing and Managing
a city" workshops. The sessions began at 6:30 p.m. All Councilmembers and
management staff were present. John Drozdal of The Drozdal Company led the
session.
I. Senatorial Election
II.
The City Manager asked to gain a sense of the Council regarding the
upcoming special elections to fill the legislative seat being vacated
by state Senator Don Storm. Given the likelihood of low voter turnout
and the fact that many of the City's polling locations would be
unavailable due to previous commitments, it would be desirable to
consolidate the number of polling places --perhaps having only one,
at the City Offices. The city Manager noted that a notice of the
December 21 primary and January 4 general elections would be mailed
and would also specify polling places. Staff will need to explore
whether the State of Minnesota would allow such a change in polling
locations.
councilmember Harris said that she had no problem with the idea of
only one polling place provided that there is prior notice given to
voters. All other Councilmembers agreed.
Workshop session
The focus of this meeting was to define the "Eden Prairie Team", how
to make it effective, and what issues needed to be tackled in the near
future. In small group sessions, participants evaluated the
effectiveness of the team (defined as all of the Councilmembers and
management staff present), and generally agreed that they were
performing below average as a team. In order to perform better,
participants believed they needed to "develop a game plan from the
same playbook."
After identfying a number of strategic issues, the group decided to
focus on three areas and work through them together:
1) Define what issues are policies, to make distinctions between
policy and management issues, and define a process to address
matters when these distinctions are not very clear.
2) Relationships among team members.
3) Determine desired service levels, their financial implications,
and the performance standards associated with them.
The staff was to assemble all of the City's policies and have them
compiled for the next workshop session. This session was scheduled
to occur on January 27, 1992.
The workshop concluded at 10:10 p.m.

I. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 91-267 REGARDING A SPECIAL ELECTION
City Manager Jullie said that a Special Election is required to
fill the vacancy created by the resignation of State Senator
Donald Storm, Senate District 42. He said Resolution 91-267
provides for a special primary election on December 21, 1991, and
a special election on January 4, 1992, for the office, with the
City offices designated as the single polling place for both
elections.

Jessen asked what the fund balance was at year end and why
we bother to keep track of those funds. Jullie replied tha.
it will be $2 million at the end of 1992 and 1.1 million at
the end of 1991. He said we need to account for the money
so that it does not appear to be available for other uses.
Jessen asked what the projected liquor store proceeds are.
Accountant Ruth said the projection is $180,000 with another
$100,000 available for the General Fund. Jessen said he
thought we could begin to implement the idea of liquor store
proceeds going for parks by using those funds to purchase
the Boyce property. Anderson said he would like to see
those proceeds be divided between Park & Rec and Public
Saf~ty.
Jessen asked how our tax rate compares with the other cities
on the 9-city salary comparison. Jullie said we are
significantly higher than Edina, primarily because of their
very high tax base and their lower spending. He said
Plymouth is also lower; however, we provide more services so
our staff count is higher. He said other high growth
communities are close to us. Jessen said he thought such
comparisons are important in order to keep our spending in
line with that of other communities.
Jessen asked how other organizations manage the pay equity
impacts, as this stands out as a rather significant area Of.
difference. Jullie said that every governmental unit has t
report their salary statistics in order to determine if they
are in compliance with the comparable worth program. He
noted that many communities may find they are not in
compliance.
Jessen asked if we have any compar1sons with what the
private sector employers in town are doing in the benefit
area. Swaggert said we rely on Bissonnett & Associates to
provide survey data on benefits, and they do not have data
on the private sector. She said that we work with D. C.
Stanton to provide private sector surveys. She said there
is some concern that we are losing ground in the managerial
area.
Tenpas said he thought the cost of health insurance is the
fastest growing area within the City budget and that we have
to decide the extent of our participation in that expense.
He said h~ would like to get a comparative analysis, showing
short and long-term cost be~efits, of areas where we
currently have City-invested capital and personnel
performing work that could be contracted out.
Jessen noted that there is a 6.5% increase in payroll costs
for the year and a proposed 17% increase in benefits for the
year. He said he thought we have to control these costs, •
since they seem to increase each year and it appears to be
difficult to reduce them.

City Council Meeting 3 December 10, 1991
Tenpas said that if we were to set a certain policy as to
the amount of increase or set some ranges, then staff would
have to justify any policy changes.
Pidcock said she also has received calls with concern about
increases in salaries. However, she said she thought a
great deal of work has been put into the proposed salaries
and that she was comfortable with what has been proposed.
Harris asked how much of the 6.5% increase is a reflection
of our need to equalize salaries by state mandate. Swaggert
responded that it all addresses that and noted that the
larger increases go to relatively new employees. She then
explained the changes made in the salary and wage structure.
Tenpas asked if the requests for trails on County Roads 4
and 1 had been budgeted. Dietz said there was a total of
$58,000 in the budget for both of those trails. Tenpas
asked how much additional funding would be required to do
both. Dietz responded that it would require an additional
$307,000.
Anderson said these have been the most talked about and the
most requested trails in the City for the longest period of
time. He said there have been petitions submitted for many
years for both of them. He said there are have been some
fatalities over the years in both areas, and there are some
real safety concerns that would justify completing these
trails. Tenpas asked how he would allocate the funding for
those trails. Anderson said he thought the best option is
to put them in the budget.
Tenpas asked how much the County Road 4 trail would cost.
Dietz replied that the cost would be $140,000. Tenpas said
he would be in favor of building the County Road 4 trail;
but that he thought there was an alternative route available
for the County Road 1 trail. He said he thought we would
have to cut something else in order to put it in the budget,
however. Jessen said he also thought the County Road 4
trail should be built. Dietz said an additional $115,000
beyond the budgeted amount would be required to build that
trail.
Harris asked if the $175,000 1n the Liquor Fund could be
used for this. Tenpas said he thought the County Road 4
trail was more of a safety issue.
Pidcock asked if the money in the drug fund could be used
for this purpose. Tenpas said he would like to see that
money continue to go back to the Police Department and he
would not vote to shift it. Policy Chief Jim Clark said
that money can only be used for specific purposes.
The consensus was to upgrade the County Road 4 trail.
Anderson said he would go along with that if we agree that
City Council Meeting 4 December 10, 1991
County Road 1 would be put into next year's budget as a
priority item. • Jessen said he thought it would be well to transfer the
Liquor Store funds to purchase the Boyce property, which
would then delete that item from the General Fund. The
consensus was to shift $175,000 out of the Liquor Store
Funds to purchase the property.
The Council then reviewed each of the capital expenditure
items.
pidcock asked if it was necessary to use two trucks to do
the tree trimming. Lambert said it is done differently
depending on whether the trimming is done by the Parks
Department or Public Works.
A discussion followed regarding the computer purchases
proposed in the various departments and what our networking
capability is between the City departments and with other
communities. Jessen said he thought it was important that
the computer committee review all proposed computer
equipment expenditures to be sure that the entire $35,000
worth of equipment was required and that it would be
compatible with current and future equipment.
Pidcock asked about the process the Police Department uses •
to determine how to use the drug fund money. Clark said
they establish an employee committee to look at the ways to
spend the funds. He said they have chosen to use the money
for such things as surveillance equipment and other items
that enhance their work.
The Council discussed the equipment to be purchased for
Public Works. Dietz showed a video of snow removal
equipment available to upgrade the City's equipment. Jessen
asked what the experience is with automatic transmission
versus clutch. Dietz said reports indicate the automatic
has been perfected and they seem to be standing up well.
Dietz said there is $90,000 in the budget for two trucks--
one replacement and one new vehicle. He said some of the
enhancements could be added for an additional $35,400.
Jessen said he thought we should go with the automatic
transmission on the new vehicle. Tenpas said he would like
to see the $35,400 spent for the enhancements to upgrade the
equipment and that we should spend the $35,400 as soon as
possible in order to realize operational savings.
Tenpas said he would like to postpone the purchase of the
new tractor requested by Park & Rec, defer the new siren for
one year and eliminate the survey package requested by the •
Engineering Department. Jessen said he would leave the
tractor in as there are a lot of uses for that equipment on
a year-round basis. The consensus was to leave the tractor

in the budget and to eliminate the expenditures for the new
siren and the survey package.
Tenpas said he would like to see the expenditures for the
City Hall savings fund and the capital facilities
expenditures cut by 20% to $700,000 and $400,000,
respectively, which would be a $250,000 savings between the
two items. Jessen said he agreed that a reduction would
still leave adequate amounts stockpiled in the City Hall
fund. The rest of the Council concurred with those cuts.
The Council agreed to add the $6600 requested by the
Historical & Cultural Commission to the budget. The net
amount of cuts and additions was approximately $350,000.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt
Resolution No. 91-258, Certifying the 1991 Tax Levy,
Collectible in 1992 and Adopting the 1992 General Fund
Budget with the additions and deletions approved by the
Council during the meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
Tenpas said he would suggest that before the end of the
first quarter 1992 some specific policies be set for staff
before they prepare their budgets for 1993.
Jullie noted that the Enterprise Fund budgets were also
included in the packets.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to approve the
Enterprise Fund budgets as presented. Motion carried 5-0.

MOTION
Pidcock moved, seconded by Jessen, to approve the Consent Calendar as
amended.
Regarding Item H on the Consent Calendar, Harris asked Pauly what the
City's recourse would be in the absence of compliance. Pauly said a
court order could be obtained to allow the City to proceed with the
removal of the hazardous condition. The cost could be recovered either
through a judgment against the owner or the imposition of a lien on the
property.
Mike Levi, 10943 Spoon Ridge, owner of the property, said he would not
be able to begin rebuilding of the house until the spring of 1993. He
agreed that the house should come down but was concerned that it be
done in a proper manner so that the foundation, swimming pool, and
other parts not damaged by the fire would not be lost. Jullie assured
Levi that the City and contractor would work with him to insure that
the hazardous siiuation was handled with minimum damage to the cement
structures on the property.
Consent calendar as amended approved 4-0.

Jullie said notice for the public hearing had been properly published
and mailed to surrounding property owners.
•
Peter Knaeble, representing the proponent, explained that the •
proposal was basically a split of a one-acre lot into two one-half
acre lots located on the corner of Valley View Road and Hames Way.
He said that the two lots would meet all existing requirements for
the Rl-13.5 Zoning District. The only unusual part of the request
was a proposal with the park for a swap of 0.07 of an acr~ in order
to put the existing driveway back on to the proper lot.
Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the item at its
November 25, 1991 meeting and recommended approval on a 6-0 vote
subject to recommendations in the staff report of November 22, 1991.

(Ordinance 35-91 -Zoning District Change).
Jullie said notice of the public hearing had been properly published
and mailed to property owners in the vicinity of the project.
Herbert DeVann, owner of the property, stated the lot had been for
sale since 1989. He had a signed a purchase agreement with a
builder in October 1991 to build a single-family house on the
property. He said it was necessary for the buyers to move in
approximately March 1, 1992. Therefore, it was important that
construction begin as early as possible in 1992.
Enger said the Planning Commission recommended approval this item
at its November 25, 1991 meeting on a 6-0 vote. He said the lot had
been divided in anticipation of a duplex being built on it, but this
could be corrected by administrative action on the part of the City.
Some vacation of easements by the City might also be involved.

a position of questioning the process used by the County Board
for appointments to the Watershed District positions.
Council requested that staff determine whether or not there was
a vacancy on the Watershed District at the present time and
when an appointment would be made. Jullie said that the City
had been given a list of vacancies that would be coming up in
the future and the County requested that the City submit its
recommendations to fill the vacancies 60 days prior to the
appointment. He said staff would make Council aware of

It was Council consensus that every effort should be made to
see that the City was represented on boards where decisions
affecting the City were made.
3. Post Office Identification
Harris asked if there was anything that could be done about
changing the sign on the Post Office to read Eden Prairie
instead of Hopkins.
Enger pointed out that it was officially Hopkins Post Office, Eden
Prairie Branch, as stated on the sign.
MOTION
Pidcock moved that the City begin actions to urge that the Post
Office located in Eden Prairie be so designated rather than being
identified as the Hopkins Post Office by sending a letter to the
Congressional delegation, if necessary, and requesting the
Chamber of Commerce to pursue this matter through any means
possible. Seconded by Harris. Motion approved 4-0.
4. Report on National League of Cities Convention
Pidcock reported that the theme of the Convention had been
Excellence in Governance. She said she believed Eden Prairie
was ahead of most cities in the nation in many of the processes
it had implemented in city management. She said one idea she
believed had some merit was the 24-hour City Hall. This was a
voice mail system whereby building inspections or recreation
programs could be scheduled, for example. It could be financed
by a business or several businesses in the community who would
be interested in having a short promotional message on the
answering tape.
She said there was also concern on the part of all cities on
costs and many cities were having problems with financing basic
needs. She believed Eden Prairie was in better financial
condition than most cities.
Jessen said he found the voice mail idea interesting but would
not favor a sponsor for it. Jullie said a total review of the
telephone system was being made, and as the City looked
forward to moving to another facility, he believed this
suggestion was a good one and one which would be investigated.

1. Set Time for Meeting of the Canvassing Board to Certify Primary
Election Results
Jullie said it was necessary for the Council to set a time to meet
as a Canvassing Board to certify the primary and general
election results. Staff was seeking clarification from the State to
determine if it was necessary to canvass the votes.
Council decided to meet if nececessary at City Hall at 4:00 PM on
Monday, December 23, 1991 for the purpose of certifying the
results of the primary election, and at 12:30 PM on Sunday,
January 5, 1992 for the purpose of certifying the general
election results.
C. Report of Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resource
1. Wildlife Management Plan (Resolution No. 91-260)
Lambert said that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission had appointed an ad hoc committee early in 1991 to
•
develop a wildlife management plan. The committee had proposed •
a plan which would evolve over several years. He said the
wildlife that caused most of the problems in the City were geese
and deer, with some problems with raccoons and muskrats as
well. The committee had developed a procedure of how problems
would be handled. He requested Council approval on three
items: (1) Recommendations in the memorandum from Stuart A.
Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources; (2) Resolution No.
91-260 Adopting City Wildlife Management Plan; and (3) Wildlife
Management Request Form. Lambert reviewed each of the
documents and said that the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Department would like to begin the procedure
immediately, and to revise and refine it as necessary. r
Anderson said he believed the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission should investigate policy on the use of leg
traps. Lambert said trapping was not allowed within the City
parks. Trapping was allowed within the City because State law
allowed leg-hold traps. However, this interpretation could be
challenged.

Harris moved approval of Resolution No. 91-260 Adopting the

2. Funding Update for Bryant Lake Regional Park
Lambert called Council attention to a letter dated December 13,
1991 from Douglas F. Bryant, Superintendent and Secretary to
the Board of Hennepin Parks, which recommended that Bryant
Lake Regional Park be developed in two phases. The total cost
would be $4.1 million, with the first phase costing $2.7 million.
He pointed out that the City had consistently requested that this
project be done in a single phase. Lambert said Mayor Tenpas
had sent a letter to the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space
Commission asking it to reconsider funding the project for $4.1
million because the park was in a fully-developed area of the
region. He said Council could also consider asking Hennepin
Parks to issue $1.4 million in bonds to develop the park, the
difference between the cost of the first phase and the total cost,
so that the project could be completed in one phase.
Jessen said he believed Lambert's approach in sending the
Mayor's letter was a sound one. He suggested also requesting
appropriation of funds from projects which were unable to
proceed for any reason. Jessen also said that the Park District
had bonding authority and the possibility of bonding to finance
the balance between the $2.7 million and the total cost of the
project should be investigated as well. He pointed out that the
actual amount appropriated would not be known until after the
State Legislature adjourned in May 1992.
C. Report of Director of Public Works
1. TIF Capital Projects Status Report
Dietz called Council attention to the 1990 TIF Capital Projects
Study Report. He said none of the projects in the study report
had begun and believed it was appropriate to discuss potential
projects again. He requested some direction from Council on
projects it would like to see included in rthe list of TIF Capital
Projects so a budget could be developed. He said that after a
final list of projects and a budget was developed, it would be
necessary to hold a public hearing before any projects could
begin.
After further discussion, Council agreed to hold a workshop
session at 6:00 PM, January 21, 1992 to review all possible TIF
projects and set priorities.
Council also agreed that the Public Hearing for the TIF Capital
Projects would be held on February 18, 1992, and directed staff
to publish proper notice of the hearing •

2. Update of the Corps of Engineers Permitting Process for
Purgatory Creek Wetlands Project
Deitz reported on a meeting that City staff had held with the U.
S. Army Corps of Engineers on December 17, 1991. He said the
purpose of the meeting was to provide the Corps of Engineers
with more information about the Purgatory Creek Wetlands
Project. The issue before the Corps of Engineers was which
government agency had jurisdiction if it were determined that
there had been a violation. The U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency had the authority to be the lead agency, but it would be
more appropriate and easier to work with the Corps of Engineers
because it was local. The EPA office was located in Chicago. He
said that basically the sense of those attending the meeting was
that things that happened prior to 1985 would not be considered.
The Corps staff believed that it would be necessary to issue an
after-the-fact permit. If EPA would become involved, it would
probably do so because it would levy fines. If the Corps was
the only agency involved, Dietz believed the issue could be
resolved amicably. The Corps position was that there was no
flagrant violation, and it was considering the possibility of
covering the whole situation with one permit dealing with the
park entrance area and the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Dietz said he believed the course to follow would be to get the
feasibility study from the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed
District, develop some more detailed plans for the park, and
obtain an after-the-fact permit for the entire project.
Dietz pointed out that the authorization that Council had given
for legal counsel and a consultant to help on the issue was
limited to the park entrance area. It did not involve the
properties that were privately owned.

DATE: December 31,1991 CD
SUBJECT: Final Plat of Menards 7th Addition
PROPOSAL: Denwal Management, Inc., the developers, have requested City Council approval
of the final plat of Menards 7th Addition. Located north of Plaza Drive and east of
Prairie Center Drive, the plat contains 24.6 acres to be divided into three lots. Lot 1 is
the present site of the Menards Lumber Center. Lot 2 is the proposed site for Eden
Prairie Ford, and Lot 3 is a vacant lot proposed for commercial development at a future
date.
•
HISTORY: The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council May 15, 1990, per •
Resolution No. 90-142.
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 20-90, Zoning District Change from Rural to C-
Regional-Service, was finally read and approved at the City Council meeting October 1,
1991.

REPLY TO EDEN PRAIRIE OFFICE:
• Enclosed is an ordinance amending the gambling section of the
City Code. The primary purpose of the amendment is to authorize
lawful gambling in a premises not owned by an organization at which
lawful gambling could have occurred pursuant to a license or permit
issued by the state Gambling Board prior to November 1, 1989.
Under the current code each premise must be owned by an
organization as that term is defined by statute and cannot be owned
by a private party. The amendment creates an exception for those
premises at which lawful gambling could have been conducted
pursuant to a license prior to November 1, 1989. In reviewing the
section I find that certain amendments to the statutes became
effective subsequent to the last revision of Section 5.40,
therefore I have updated those provisions in Section 5.40 to be
consistent with the present statutes.
•
Currently Minnesota Statutes require local approval for a
bingo hall license, which may be obtained by persons other than
organizations. A bingo hall license must be obtained for any
person to lease a facility to more than one organization to conduct
bingo. Local approval is also required for premises permits, which
are required for organizations to conduct gambling at any location
subject to certain exclusions. Together with the proposed
ordinance I have enclosed a marked up copy of Section 5.40 showing
the changes effected by the ordinance if adopted .

t MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
1992 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
The Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC) is an organization of
twelve cities which was founded in 1983 to represent suburban interests at
the Minnesota Legislature. As in the past, our major goal for 1992 will be
to advocate for a new, more equitable state aid distribution formula which
will ultimately result in property tax reform.
In 1990, the MLC's legislative program was stated in one sentence -
"The Legislature should adopt a property tax policy that taxes homes using
a single tax capacity rate." The 1991 Legislature moved in the right
direction when it enacted a significant property tax law change which
eliminated the 3% rate on the value of homes over $115,000. For this, the
MLC is appreciative. However, disparities still exist between suburban
homeowners and homeowners in other areas of the state. The 1992 MLC
legislative program, if enacted, would result in a reduction in the inequities
that currently exist and provide a more understandable and accountable
property tax system.
The MLC recommends to the 1992 Legislature that actions be taken
on the following issues:
1) A NEW STATE AID DISTRmUTION FORMULA
GUARANTEEING A MINIMUM AID AMOUNT TO EVERY CITY.
The current formulas provide state paid aids or credits to local units of
government in a number of ways. (See Exhibit A.) A portion of these
dollars -$305 million in 1991 -was distributed based upon local government
aid formulas that distributes dollars using historic spending patterns,
artificially inflated wealth, i.e., tax capacities, and grandfather clauses that
protect certain constituencies from a loss of aid. Many argue that our
current Local Government Aid (LGA) and Equalization Aid Formulas are
broken and in need of a major overhaul. Over half the cities that belong to
the MLC received no LGA in 1991. Not one MLC city received Equalization
Aid. This year the average MLC city received only $3.73 per capita in Local
Government Aid and Equalization Aid. This compares to the statewide
average of $86.95 per capita. The current local government aid formulas
•
•
have evolved into a system that is inequitable and unfair. They need to be replaced . • 1
.......... ------------
•
•
•
The other major aid formula that is distributed to cities is the
Homestead and Agricultural Aid Credit (HACA). This formula replaced the
Homestead Credit program of the 1970's and 1980's. In 1992, the amount of
state resources spent on HACA will be $173,187,000.
It is likely that the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental
Relations will suggest that LGA, Equalization Aid, and HACA be combined
into a new, single aid formula. It is the position of the MLC that any new
formula that distributes state dollars to cities should guarantee a minimum
amount of dollars based on a per capita factor. The newly creB:ted Local
Government Trust Fund (LGTF) will have $785 million to distribute in
1993. A portion of this fund should be based on a per capita basis with the
remainder distributed based upon other factors such as spending and need.
Please find attached a chart (Exhibit B) which illustrates the total aid MLC
Cities are currently receiving. The rationale for guaranteeing every city a
minimum amount of aid is based upon two fundamental tax policies. First,
property taxes are regressive. The State should continue its policy of
mitigating the regressive nature of the property tax by providing state aids
to all cities which has the direct effect of reducing property taxes. Second,
the proceeds from the LGTF are the result of local units of government
voting to accept a 1/2¢ additional local option sales tax. Although the vote
to adopt this additional tax is at the county level, it is imposed upon each
city in the county. Exhibit C illustrates the revenue raised by the 1I2¢
sales tax on MLC Cities. Since our residents are all paying this additional
tax, they should also be entitled to a portion of the proceeds in the form of
state aid to local government.
The per capita minimums should be tied to the amount generated by
the Local Government Trust Fund. the MLC suggests that this minimum
should be set at 33% of the total in the LGTF. In 1993, the amount
distributed on a per capita basis would be approximately $260 million. The
remaining 66% or $525 million could be distributed on a different formula.
This minimum would amount to approximately $75 per capita statewide.
2) ANY NEW NEEDS FORMULA TO DISTRffiUTE STATE
DOLLARS TO LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD USE
MARKET VALUE RATHER THAN TAX CAPACITY TO DETERMINE
WEALTH.
The current aid formula uses tax capacity to determine the "wealth" of
a community. Tax capacity is determined for each class of property by the
2
00 --------------........
--------------........
Legislature. The Legislature has determined that certain classes of
property, i.e., commercial and industrial buildings, and homes should have
higher tax capacity rates as their value increases. This causes higher
valued homes and C-I buildings to pay a higher property tax than they
would otherwise pay if the tax were based upon market value. However,
these statutorily created tax capacity rates also are used in state aid
distribution formulas to determine the wealth of a community and,
therefore, penalize communities that have homes and businesses that
appear artificially wealthy. The MLC opposes the use of tax capacity for
purposes of determining the distribution of state aid dollars. The MLC will
support the policy of using the market values of properties to determine
wealth. The 1991 Legislature took a major step in this direction when it
enacted legislation which will use the market value of property to calculate
the property tax payable for new school referenda levies. The 1992
Legislature should take the next step and use market value when
calculating all aid distribution formulas.
3) RETAIN THE CURRENT LAW WHICH WILL REDUCE THE
TAX CAPACITY RATE ON THE VALUE OF HOMES OVER $115,000
FROM 2 112% TO 2% FOR PROPERTY TAXES PAYABLE IN 1993
AND THEREAFTER.
The MLC applauds the 1991 Legislature for eliminating the 3% tax
capacity rate on high valued homes. This policy was a major step in the
right direction to reduce property tax disparities between homeowners living
in similar homes, earning similar incomes and receiving similar services.
However, the Legislature, in order to mitigate the effects on the state
budget determined that the third tier should be phased out over a two year
period rather than all at once. Therefore, the rate dropped to 2 112% for
property taxes payable in 1992 (which provides $23.5 million of property tax
relief) and, if current law is retained" will drop to 2% for taxes payable in
1993 (which will provide another $23.5 million of relief). It is understood
that this relief will be provided through additional HACA payments by the
State and not cause a property tax burden shift on to lower-valued homes.
The MLC strongly supports total elimination of the third tier. The
current phase-out should be permitted to occur as scheduled.

4) ADVOCATE A PROPERTY TAX POLICY WHICH WILL
CONTINUE TO NARROW THE TAX RATE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN LOW·VALUED HOMES AND HIGH·VALUED HOMES.
The MLC, as a group, do not dispute the tax policy that higher-valued
homes should pay more property taxes. What we do dispute is how much
more. The property tax policies formulated by the Legislature need to take
into consideration the differences between the values of similar homes
receiving similar services located in different geographical areas of the
State.
The MLC continues to advocate a narrowing of the tax capacity rate
difference between homes valued under $72,000 and the value of homes over
$72,000. This gap should be narrowed because of the difference in property
values based upon geographical location. Similar homes located in the
seven-county metro area typically are valued at twice the market value as
homes outside the metro area. In 1991, for example, the average metro
home was valued at $91,500 while the average non-metro home had a
market value of $46,600. (See Exhibit D.) Research data has proven that
because of this market value difference, compounded by the effects of the
second and third tier being taxed at a higher rate, homeowners in the metro
area pay between 60% to 150% more property tax even though their incomes
are identical to non-metro homeowners. (See Exhibit E.)
5) SUPPORT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO DEDICATE
2¢ OF THE SALES TAX TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TRUST
FUND.
The MLC lends its support to the League of Minnesota Cities and the
Association of Metropolitan Municipalities by advocating a Constitutional
Amendment which would dedicate the proceeds that are generated from 2¢
of the sales tax and motor vehicle excise tax to the Local Government Trust
Fund (LGTF).
The 1991 Legislature statutorily created the LGTF. The purpose of
the LGTF was to fund local government tax relief programs based upon the
growth or decline in sales tax receipts. If sales tax receipts grow so would
the amount in the LGTF. If sales tax receipts decline so would the amount
going to cities and counties. The MLC supported the concept of the LGTF
during the 1991 Legislative session. However, there is now discussions
taking place in the halls of the Capitol to "raid" the expected growth in the
4
I{) I
-
Trust Fund. The amount expected to be available for property tax relief •
programs for 1992 is $710 million. The amount is forecasted to grow to
$785 million in 1993. The total for the first biennium is $1.495 billion. This
is expected to grow to $1.749 billion during the 1994-95 biennium. It is this
$254 million of growth the Legislature is eying in order to help balance the
state's budget. (See Exhibit F.) If the Legislature takes one dollar of the
Trust Fund receipts, it is no longer a trust fund. A Constitutional
Amendment guaranteeing that these receipts, including growth, are
dedicated will assure that the concept of a trust fund remains intact.
6) LEVY LIMITS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SUNSET IN 1993.
The 1991 Legislature enacted legislation which will repeal levy limits
for cities beginning in 1993. The MLC would like to publicly acknowledge
our appreciation to the Legislature for enacting this significant law. The
repeal of levy limits will increase accountability at the local level. It will
also provide local units of government with more flexibility in determining
the level of service its citizens desire and are willing to pay for. Levy limits
are inconsistent with the principles of local control and accountability. The
MLC will strongly oppose any efforts to repeal or delay the 1993 sunset on
levy limits.
7) SUPPORT ENHANCING THE ROLE OF THE PROPERTY TAX
REFUND (CIRCUIT BREAKER) PROGRAM.
Several research studies have revealed that the correlation between
property taxes paid to income received is weak at best. There is a much
stronger correlation between property taxes paid and geographical location
of the property. In order to better focus property tax relief dollars based on
the ability to pay, the MLC supports enhancing the role the property tax
refund program plays in the entire property tax relief system. A much
larger share of the total dollars appropriated for property tax relief should
be directed toward increasing the role of this program.
Currently about $40 million dollars per year is being spent on the
Circuit Breaker versus $285 million per year for Local Government Aid and
$500 million per year for the Homestead and Agricultural Credit. Any new
formula should significantly increase the amount being targeted to the
Circuit Breaker program. The MLC also believes that the Legislature
should include the property tax refund as one of the programs that is funded
by the Local Government Trust Fund.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
l:-Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource~
I"
DATE: January 10, 1992
SUBJECT: Recommendations of the Park and Recreation Facility Neeos Assessment
Committee
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 1991, the City Council authorized formation of an ad hoc committee to the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission to assess park and recreation facility needs from
1990 to the year 2000. On January 8, 1992, the committee met to review recommendations of
the various subcommittees and to develop a consensus recommendation to the City Council on
project priorities for the various funding sources. The committee also reviewed
recommendations on neighborhood park options to serve Southwest Eden Prairie, and provided
a recommendation to the City Council regarding a bond referendum proposal for 1992.
PROJECT PRIORITIES FOR VARIOUS FUNDING SOURCES
Attached to this memorandum is a draft dated January 9, 1992, indicating the preliminary
priorities for projects for each of eight park and recreation facility funding sources. The
committee requests the Council to consider the list of projects and their priorities, rather than
the estimated costs, as these are only preliminary costs and should not be considered final cost
estimates until additional information is obtained on each of the projects.
Items that are tentatively listed for a 1995 and 1996 park bond referendum are considered
"tentative", and the committee recommends the Council not determine final priorities for those
possible referenda until reviewing a residential survey to be conducted by the City later this
year.
Feasibility studies should be completed on any project proposed for revenue bonds prior to final
approval of those projects under this funding source.
The Facility Needs Assessment Committee requests the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and the City Council to approve this list of projects and these funding sources as
a draft document until after a City wide survey is completed later this year. At that time,
priorities should be set for proposed park referenda in 1995 and 1996.
Recommendations
January to, 1992
Page 2 ~.
.: ...... ' .-.--
The committee does recommend the City Council utilize this priority funding list to base
decisions for a 1992 referendum, as well as funding decisions under the remaining funding
sources including cash park fees, liquor store profits, general fund, grants, tax increment
financing, andrevellUe b9nds._-~·~> ~ ~,_ '::-.. " __ c, __ ,, ___ c_':
The committee understands -that prior to any expenditure of funds specific projects must be
reviewed and considered; however, this priority list should be used as a guide for future
decisions by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the City Council,
recognizing that situations change in a rapidly growing community, and that this list should be
reviewed on an annual basis by the staff, Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
and City Council.
REVIEW OF NEIGHBORHOOD PARK OPTIONS TO SERVE SW EDEN PRAIRIE
•
Attached to this memorandum is information provided by Barb Cross, City Park Planner,
regarding options considered for -neighborhood parks to serve the SW part of Eden Prairie.
City staff identified all parcels of 10 acres or more that were relatively flat and could be
developed into _ neighborhood parks to serve the Cedar Forest and Crestwood neighborhood
areas, as _ well as the Rice Marsh Lake area in Western Eden Prairie. As these parcels were
being discussed by the committee, property owners were notified that their land was being •
discussed as possible future park areas. Property owners were assured that no decisions were
being made at this time and that there were several options of parkland to serve various areas.
The City staff did request any property owners that were in opposition to having their property
considered for park use to notify staff. Both Bill Marshall and George Marshall indicated they
would not be willing sellers at this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coleman had contacted the City early in 1991 expressing an interest in
selling an 11.9-acre parcel for neighborhood park purposes. The parcel is located on Dell Road
and would provide an ideal location and access for a neighborhood park to serve the Crestwood
neighborhood area. City staff would recommend the Council authorize staff to begin
negotiations with the Colemans for acquisition of that parcel for neighborhood park purposes as
soon as possible. City staff would further recommend that the City Council authorize staff to
discuss possible acquisition of the parcel at Rice March Lake in the near future and to discuss
possible acquisition of site number 1 in the report for acquisition as the Cedar Forest
neighborhood park site.
City staff would like the opportunity to discuss the merits of these sites with the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and City Council at the January 14th meeting .

DISCUSS STRATEGY FOR BOND REFERENDUM PROPOSAL
_.:-. n ••• ,. _. . ..... ' ~ .. ':" .:...,'''-. -,
The Facility Needs Assessment Committee recommended unanimously that the Council hold a
spring referendum for parks in early April. The committee further recommended the Council
and the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission take a leadership role for this very
important park bond referendum,l~and many individuals volunteered to work to support a
referendum .. -.,., .~ ... """y 1 .. ' -, .,
TIMING FOR· SECOND ICE RINK ADDITION
The City Council has authorized staff to work with an architect to develop plans and
specifications for constructing a second ice rink at the Eden Prairie Community Center. This
work is underway at this time; however, there has also been some discussion about delaying to
proceed with advertisement for bids until after a park referendum. Although an April
referendum would not hold up this project more than a couple of weeks, City staff would
encourage the City Council to take advantage of the extremely good bidding that will occur
during this recession period, as well as the highly favorable bond rates that are available today.
City staff recommends that the Council take formal action· on whether or not this project will
be tied to the timing of a park bond referendum in order to provide that information to the
architects as well as residents that have expectations about using that facility in December 1992.
RESIDENTIAL QUALITY-OF-LIFE SURVEY
At several meetings of the Facility Needs Assessment Committee, residents expressed concern
over the lack of swimming pools in Eden Prairie. Several residents suggested that a swimming
pool should be considered on a 1992 referendum. The majority of committee members,
however, recommended that the City utilize the Quality of Life City Wide Survey as an
instrument to determine the perceived need for additional pools in Eden Prairie, as well as the
type of pools people desired. Committee members discussed the pros and cons of an outdoor
recreational pool versus an indoor recreational pool, as well as the need for an additional lap
pool to accommodate the ever growing needs of competitive swimmers, as well as the desire to
enhance the physical education programs in the Middle School. City staff requests the Council
to discuss the timing of this City-wide survey, as well the type of information that will be
covered by this survey.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
FROM: Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Architect
DATE: November 15, 1991 .,
SUBJECT:--Neighborhood ·Park Study for Southwest Eden Prairie
. " --
'_. ____ , -,J _' ___ ._L' ; ,/
I have done some plans and sketches for possible neighborhood parks in Southwest Eden Prairi~. __
Five locations have been identified and are shown on the location map enclosed. .
Many sites were considered for park purposes and more are probably still viable. Criteria I used
for selecting a site are as follows:
• flat terrain suitable for active uses i.e. ballfields, etc.
• 9 acre parcel minimum
• location central to neighborhood park users
• availability. or perceived availability
Each parcel has a corresponding concept plan to show development potential and a narrative,
sheet. The narrative sheet describes the parcel and gives lists of advantages and disadvantages. -
Three neighborhood park service area maps are included to show areas served by each parcel in
various combinations. The combination of parcel #2 and parcel #4 best covers the half mile
radius policy the City adopted with the Comprehensive Park and Open Space Plan.
More research and discussion will need to occur before we can make our final selections. We
will need to know the availability of the land; the suitability of the land for park purposes (more
detailed topo and soil information) and potential cost estimates for acquisition and development..

MEMORANDUM
Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Park Bond Referendum Committee
THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources~
DATE: January 23, 1992
SUBJECT: Park Bond Referendum Planning Meeting
On Tuesday, January 21st, the City Eden Prairie City Council unanimously approved a 4.5
million dollar park bond referendum to be held Saturday, March 14th, at the Eden Prairie City
Hall. This bond referendum will include 3.8 million dollars for Miller Park, $200,000 for
Pioneer Park, and $500,000 for Riley Lake Park.
The City Council also set a special meeting date of Tuesday, January 28th, at 7 p.m., at the
Eden Prairie Council Chambers to discuss planning for the referendum.
March 14th is only seven weeks away; therefore, there will have to be an extraordinary amount
of work done in a short period of time. All individuals willing to work for the passage of this
referendum should be in attendance at the January 28th meeting.
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of a survey completed over the January 18th and 19th
weekend regarding the opinion of residents on this referendum at this point. You will note that
although 57 % are somewhat or strongly in favor, compared to 32 % somewhat strongly opposed
to this referendum, prior to any educational information, the author of the report indicates that
we are definitely facing an uphill battle and if the referendum were held today it would most
likely fail by approximately 6%. He does indicate that with a very concerted effort, it would
be possible to pass this referendum: however, it will be difficult with the strong negative feeling
about any increase in taxes by a substantial number of people within the community.
It will be extremely.important for the Athletic Association presidents and their Board of
Directors to use their organizations to gain support of this referendum and to obtain the
relatively large number of people that will be required to help with the phone banks.
We have a major educational process facing us over the next six to seven week period. This
referendum will definitely not pass without a strong effort by a wide variety of community
leaders. We look forward to your support in helping us educate citizens as to the need for these
facilities.

PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1992
MINUTES
REVIEW OF SUBCOMMITTEE DISCUSSIONS
7 P.M., E P COMMUNITY CENTER
MEETING ROOM C
Lambert reviewed the consensus of the subcommittees that met on Wednesday, December 4,
1991 and Thursday, December 5, 1991. The subcommittee that met on December 4th
recommended the following:
1. Miller Park
2. Senior Center Improvements
3. Pioneer Park Development
4. Crestwood Park Acquisition
5. County Road 4 Bike Trail
6. County Road 1 Bike Trail
7. Expansion of Locker Rooms at the Community Center
The subcommittee that met on Thursday, December 5th recommended the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Miller Park
County Road 4 Bike Trail
County Road 1 Bike Trail
Bluff Park Acquisition
Lambert informed the committee that subsequent to the December 4th and December 5th
subcommittee meetings, the City Council agreed to fund the County Road 4 bike trail from the
1992 general fund budget.
Both subcommittees agreed on Miller Park and on the County Road 1 bike trail; therefore, the
projects that had to be discussed to determine a final recommendation to the City Council were
the following:
1. Senior Center Improvements
2. Pioneer Park Development
3. Crestwood Park Acquisition
4. Expansion of the Locker Rooms at the Community Center
5. Bluff Park Acquisition
Lambert provided the following comments on each of those projects:
Senior Center Improvements/Pioneer Park Development
It is recommended that these two projects be considered as one project. Although the
preliminary cost estimate is $60,000 for Senior Center improvements and $150,000 Pioneer Park
development these are very preliminary figures, especially the cost estimate for Senior Center
improvements. The Building Inspection Department is reviewing the Senior Center improvement
plans and will be providing a cost estimate within the next week. The senior population in Eden
Prairie is rapidly growing, as it is throughout the country, but especially so due to the number
of senior housing projects that have been developed in the last five to six years. Residents of
these senior housing projects are now beginning to make use of the Senior Center and other
services provided by the City. City staff strongly recommend the City of Eden Prairie continue
to expand senior services and develop the full potential of the Senior Center, once the Family
Education Center moves to a different location. Pioneer Park is the neighborhood park that will
provide outdoor activities to seniors as well as tot the residents that.are now building around that
area. The park will include flower gardens, community garden lots, passive picnic areas, tennis
courts, boccie ball courts, horseshoe courts and walking trails.
Crestwood Park Acquisition
•
Lambert reviewed the locations of tentative park sites for Crestwood Park, Cedar Forest Park
and Rice Marsh Lake Park. He indicated that there was a willing seller for the Crestwood Park
site on Dell Road. Staff will be recommending the City Council consider negotiating purchase
agreements with the property owners for both Crestwood Park and Rice March Lake Park at the
January 14th meeting of the City Council. He would recommend acquiring those parks through •
contract for deed purchase agreements over a five year period using cash park fees.
Expansion of the Locker Rooms at the Community Center
At the previous committee meeting, a large number of committee members felt that the
expansion of the locker rooms at the Community Center was an extremely important project,
and if completed would vastly increase the number of Community Center users, especially
families and adults. Lambert indicated that although he has put in $100,000for discussion
purposes, we do not know the amount to expand the locker rooms. We've requested the
architect that is working on the expansion plans for the Community Center to provide a concept
drawing depicting show the expansion of the locker rooms could fit on an interim basis and what
the cost for that particular project might be.
Bluff Park Acquisition
Lambert indicated that the two sites proposed for a Bluff Park are located in Southwest Eden
Prairie; one on the Darril Peterson property, the other on property owned by Lynn Charlson.
The committee has expressed strong support of acquiring a relatively large park on the
Minnesota River bluff in order to ensure that all residents would be able to enjoy the views of
the Minnesota River valley from one of Eden Prairie's most significant resources -the
Minnesota River bluff. Both parcels are outside the MUSA line; therefore, at least one parcel
would most likely still be available for acquisition in 1995 -however nothing is certain in these •
days.
•
•
•
After reviewing the status of the various projects, the committee discussed at length the pros and
cons of adding various projects to the referendum. The expansion of the locker rooms received
the most attention and on a very close vote, the committee decided to request the City Council
attempt to fund that project through the general fund in the near future. The committee
unanimously recommended the following projects to the City Council:
1. Miller Park
2. Pioneer Park
3. Senior Center Improvements
4. County Road 1 Bike Trail
For an estimated total of $4.5 million dollars or less. Lambert indicated that final cost estimates
for Miller Park and the Senior Center improvements would be available within the next two
weeks.
The committee then reviewed the priorities of the other funding sources and supported the
priorities as proposed in the December 19, 1991 draft with the exception of moving the locker
room expansion/County road 1 bike trail of $240,000 to number 3 in the general fund behind
the two projects proposed to be funded under the general fund for 1992. The committee
recommended that the County Road 1 bike trail be funded in the 1992 referendum; however, if
the referendum failed that County Road 1 bike trail be funded under the 1993 general fund
budget. If the 1992 referendum passed the committee recommended that the City Council fund
the locker room expansion in the 1993 budget.
REVIEW OF NEIGHBORHOOD PARK OPTIONS TO SERVE S. W. EDEN PRAIRIE
The committee supported staff requesting the City Council authorizing staff to negotiate a
purchase agreement for the Crestwood Park site located on Dell Road. and the Rice Marsh Lake
site on the east shore of Rice Marsh Lake. The committee also recommended that the Cedar
Forest Park site be acquired in the near future, and that the City should consider adding the
Cedar Forest Park site to the 1992 referendum, if the Council decides to fund the County Road
1 bike trail in the 1992 general fund.
DISCUSS STRATEGY FOR BOND REFERENDUM PROPOSAL
The committee agreed that the bond referendum should be "clean" and include only needed park
issues and the amount remain at 4.5 million dollars, or less. The committee was unanimous and
strongly in favor of the spring referendum. preferably in early April. Sixteen individuals signed
a sign-up sheet to work on a park bond referendum. The committee looked to the Council and
the Commission to take leadership roles for this very important park bond referendum.
Lambert indicated that after the January 14th meeting, he would provide all committee members
with a set of minutes from the January 8th and January 14th meetings, as well as a meeting
notice for a park bond referendum strategy meeting, if the Council does approve a spring
referendum .
The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:30 p.m

Decision
Resources Ltd.
TO: Bob Lambert, Park and Recreation Director
FROM: Bill Morris & Diane Traxler
DATE: January 21, 1992
SUBJECT: Findings and Implications from the Fast-Track Survey
--~ ---- - -~ --- -- ---
The survey completed during the past week of Eden Prairie
residents contains very sobering news. First, any park bond
referendum will need an aggressive campaign and a high turnout to
succeed. There is harder commitment among opponents than among
supporters at this point. Second, at this juncture, opponents
are more likely to go to the polls than supporters. But, finally,
the margin of defeat at the outset could be overcome with a
herculean effort in a special election. In fact, turnout will be
the determining factor in this contest. If all of the strong and
marginal supporters were go to the pollS, victory could be
achieved •
Likelihood of Voting:
Nineteen percent of the sample reported they "always voted"
in past school district or city bond and levy elections. An
additional twenty-six percent indicated they "usually voted."
The voter audience, then, in a special election is approximately
forty-fi~e percent of the electorat~.

While there is always an exaggeration factor that must be applied
to self-described voting behavior, the answers were consistent
with other parts of the survey. This data will be referred to
later when the decisions of "highly likely voters" are discussed.
This figure correlated with interest in a park bond
referendum in the near future. When asked if they would be
likely to vote in such an election, forty-four percent indicated
they would be "very likely."

Using these figures to project a turnout percentage in the
corning election, it must be kept in mind that unfolding events
after the survey can sUbstantially impact --either inflating or
depressing turnout --the actual number of poll-goers. But,
these figures would indicate a potential turnout figure of
~pproximately forty-five percent. Part of the reason for this
unusually large figure is that the citizens are polarized on the
issue of park bonds. In addition, depending on both proponent
and opposition campaign behavior, this number can change
radically, and has usually fluctuated in other communities.
Initial Predispositions:
There 1s a hardcore opposition of twenty-three percent of
the Eden Prairie electorate which is instinctively opposed to
park bond referendum. This is one of the highest levels of
"permanent opposition" that the researchers have ever
encountered. Offsetting "permanent support" was only eleven
percent, or one-half of the level of the opposition. Perceptions
about taxes and need distinguiSh these two groups. It will be
•
extremely difficult to convert any of this "permanent opposition" •
bloc.
current Preferences:
Among all residents across the district, __ th_e_ r!F~l.l:"qh~L of .
proponents over opponents is twent¥~tlve percent. However, this
figure is very deceptiyaJ! It is essential to factor in both the
strength of feeling about the referendum and interest in voting.
The table below takes into account both of these factors~

We assume a worst case scenario: pnly strongly favorable
voters will turn ou.t, but all opponents will go to the polls.-
This is a realistic assumption about special elections, in
general. If there is no differentiation in terms of campaign
efforts --that is, minimal activity by both proponents and
opponents --the bond issue will fail by six percent. If past •
referendum voters show up at the polls, the bond issue again
2
•
•
fails by six percent. However, if likely voters can be targeted
and motivated, an eight percent victory should be expected.
Clearly, the prognosis is for a hard battle with a narrow win, at
best.
Observations about Supporters and Qpponents:
1. Under 34 year oids are key supporters, 35-44 year olds more
narrowly support the issue, while 45 and over voters oppose it.
The opposition margin increases rapidly with age of the
respondent.
2. Households with athletic association members were no more
likely to support the referendum than those without members!
3. Households containing children --both pre-schoolers and
school-aged kids --were much more likely to be supportive than
"empty-nesters."
4. Renters were marginally less opposed than home owners. This
is an unusual result; in other communities, they tend to be much
stronger proponents.
5. Women were more strongly in favor of the bond referendum
than men.
6. The major support region in the community was Zone 2 --
Precincts 5A,5B,6,7A(part),7B(part).
7. Miller Park development was the most controversial part of
the package; its exclusion, though, would only result in a very
marginal increase in support for the new issue.
Tactical Recommendations:
1. Either prepare for a "no holds barred" election campaign in
a special election, featuring intensive voter,identification
efforts and get-out-the-vote calling on elect10n day, or schedule
a more leisurely persuasional campaign for the November general
election ballot. The risks are then about equal for the
probability of passage.
2. Concentrate on households containing children throughout
the city.
3. Prioritize Zone 2 for general voter identification efforts.
4. If possible, change the proposed package to include the
renovations to the Senior Center. This action; if publicized
among senior users, could help alleviate the electoral
hemorrhaging among that group.
• 5. In any persu8sional or information literature, strongly
3
accent the need for this referendum. Focus on the logical
consequences to the community if it fails.
6. Galvanize the athletic association leadership. It is
inexcusable that their membership is not more supportive.
Through their own internal communications networks, the leaders
should be able to deliver these votes.
Overall, the atmospherics are not overly promising. At the
outset of this campaign, a lot of work needs to be done. The
election, though, is certaInly not within the "un-winnable"
category! But, like many other election contests, it will be won
or lost by the election day turnout.

Let's be more specific ••••
The city owns three parks which are presently undeveloped, and if
developed, would complete the park system's youth playfield
needs.
I would like to describe proposals for the future development of
each one. First,
MILLER PARK, a 100 acre park on the south shore of Mitchell Lake
west of county Road 4 would be developed to include four youth
softball fields, four baseball fields, five soccer/ football
fields, and four tennis courts. Volleyball courts, picnic
shelters, hiking trails, a boat launch and marina, and ample
parking would be included. The estimated cost would be 3.8
million dollars.

Next, PIONEER PARK, a 14 acre city park west of the Senior Center
would be developed to include a formal garden area, public garden
plots, a picnic area, a totlot and play structure, walking
trails, and two tennis courts. The estimated cost would be
$150,000.

fields, playground facilities, and access to the trail system.

I would now like to ask your opinion of a park bond proposal.
The development we just discussed would be undertaken at all
three parks --Miller Park, pioneer Park, and Riley Lake Park.
Residents would be asked to approve a 4.5 million dollar bond
issue to fund construction. The bonds would be underwritten
•
•
through an increase on property taxes in community. The proposed •
increase results in a net property tax increase of about $15.00
yearly on an $100,000 home and $23.00 annually on a $150,000
