OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT Page 101S MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Doug Tenpas and the City Council TutRouG It Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Sandy Mitchell, Police Department Secretary, for the Eden Prairie Police & Fire Awards Committee DATE: May 3, 1991 SUBJ ECU: May 21, 1991, City Council Meeting/Awards Presentation The Police & Fire Awards Committee would like the Mayor to present two awards at the May 21, 1991, City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. before the regular business meeting begins: 1. The Committee would like to honor Dr. John Wright, D.V.M., with an Award of Merit. Dr. Wright, who recently retired, has served as the Police Department's veterinarian since the Canine Unit was formed in 1981. Dr. Wright has never charged the Department for his services or supplies. The Award of Merit is "awarded to a member for an outstanding accomplishment which has resulted in improved administration, improved operation, or substantial savings in manpower (specifically Eden Prairie's) or operational costs where the member has gone far beyond the requirements of the normal assignment to contribute to more effective and efficient police or fire service The Committee feels that Dr. Wright fits this definition. 2. A Commendation is to be awarded to Kristy L. Lauer for her participation in the . arrest of a 24-year-old female suspected of Financial Transaction Card Fraud. On March 24, 1991, Kristy, an employee at Afterthoughts at the Eden Prairie Center, handled a credit card charge. She was later informed that the credit card she accepted was stolen. On April 16, 1991, a customer (the suspect) came to Afterthoughts to purchase some items by credit card. Kristy Lauer became suspicious when she noticed a big stack of cards in the customer's possession. Looking closer at the customer, Kristy realized she was the same person from the March 24 incident. After the customer/suspect left, Kristy immediately notified the Police. The responding officer was able to apprehend the suspect. An inventory of the suspect's property uncovered 20 stolen cards. Over $1,000 had been charged on the stolen cards. If Kristy Lauer had not gotten involved and called for Police assistance, this suspect would have continued to victimize more businesses here in our City as well as in others. Investigative Aide Pauline Sager of the Police Department has been contacting the major credit card companies as Kristy is eligible for up to a $100 reward for the recovery of the cards from each of these companies. Many of the companies will be forwarding the reward checks here payable to Kristy Lauer. Pauline does not believe Kristy is aware of the reward money and would like to present Kristy with the checks as well as the Commendation award. Mayor Doug Tenpas and the City Council May 3, 1991 Page 2 Invitations to attend the awards presentation will be extended to family members of both recipients, representatives from Homan, representatives from Afterthoughts, members of the Police and Fire Departments, the Police Canine Unit and their dogs, and local media. Copies of the awards to be read before the Council will be forwarded to you prior to the May 21 meeting. cc: Spence Conrad, Fire Chief Police Administrative Staff MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Doug Tenpas and the City Council THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Sandy Mitchell, Police Department Secretary, for the Eden Prairie Police & Fire Awards Committee DATE: May 8, 1991 SUBJECT: May 21, 1991, City Council Meeting/Awards Presentation As promised in my memorandum of May 3rd, attached are: 1.

City Hall is located at 7600 Executive Drive. Eden Prairie businessman, DR. JOHN WRIGHT, will be presented an Award of Merit for his many years of dedicated assistance to the Police Department as veterinarian to the Police Canine Unit. Dr. Wright, who has recently retired, has provided these services without cost to the City. KRISTY L. LAUER, an employee of the Afterthoughts store located in the Eden Prairie Shopping Center, will be awarded a Commendation for her participation in the arrest of a 24-year-old female resident of Minneapolis suspected of Financial Transaction Card Fraud. The suspect used a credit card which later proved to be stolen to make a purchase and approximately three weeks later returned to the same store to make a purchase using a credit card taken from a large number of cards in her possession. Kristy Lauer recognized the suspect from her prior contact and notified the Eden Prairie Police immediately after the suspect exited the store which led to the arrest in the Shopping Center. Twenty stolen credit cards and over $1,000 in unauthorized charges were later discovered. The suspect was involved in similar incidents in other communities as well.

AWARD OF MERIT In 1981, the Eden Prairie Police Department decided to form and maintain a Police Canine Unit. Since the Canine Unit was first formed, you have been the Department's veterinarian. You have maintained the health of the Department's dogs, doing the routine care as well as handling emergencies. You have made yourself available whenever a handler needed help or just needed a question answered. On more than one occasion, you did not hesitate to refer the dogs to the University of Minnesota for critical or expert care. You served as Department veterinarian from the first dog through each succeeding one to our current dogs. That is service to a total of five dogs including the Department's current two dogs. During the entire time you have served as Department veterinarian, you have never charged the Department for your services or supplies. On behalf of the City, the Police Department, and the Canine Unit, thank you. Keith J. Wall Cheryl Petersen Chief of Police Awards Committee Chairperson qi? Spencer Conrad Fire Chief 918 CITY OFFICES! 7600 EXECUTIVE DRIVE / EDEN PRAIRIE, MN 55344-3677 / TELEPHONE (612)937-2262 May 21, 1991 Ms. Kristy Lauer COMMENDATION As an employee of the Afterthoughts store at the Eden Prairie Center, you handled a transaction in which a stolen credit card was used to make a purchase. Because the suspect had left the store before you learned the card was stolen, you appropriately informed the Eden Prairie Center management so that other merchants would be aware of the incident. Less than a month later, you were again working when the same suspect attempted to make another purchase with a stolen credit card. You observed a large number of credit cards in the suspect's possession and recognized her from the previous incident. After the suspect stated she had no driver's license, the sale was terminated and the suspect left the store. You immediately called the Police and provided a description which an officer used to locate the suspect still in the Center. Following the arrest, 20 stolen credit cards were recovered with applied credit of well over $1,000. However, if not arrested, the suspect would have continued to charge purchases on the stolen credit cards. Due to your attentiveness and willingness to become involved, the suspect was arrested and prevented from victimizing other businesses in Eden Prairie as well as in other communities. On behalf of the City of Eden Prairie, we commend you. /c4iLtlak Keith J. Wall Cheryl Petersen Chief of Police Awards Committee Chairperson MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Carl J. Julie, City Manager FROM: Kevin Schmieg, Director of Inspections, Safety & Facilities SUBJECT: Governor's Outstanding Achievement Award in Occupational Safety DATE: May 17, 1991 The City of Eden Prairie has received the 1990 Governor's Award for Outstanding Achievement in Occupational Safety. The Outstanding Achievement Award is given to members of the Minnesota Safety Council in recognition of outstanding accident prevention performance and a continuing outstanding record in the area of safety. The City also received the award in 1989. Since the inception of a formalized City-wide safety program in 1988, significant strides have been made within the City to improve the level of safety of our employees. The City's program is comprised of a highly effective employee/management safety committee and a very dedicated safety inspector. Together, they investigate safety-related problem areas, make recommendations for safer work practices, review accidents and work to develop a safety consciousness among City employees. The work they have done has made a significant impact on both the number and severity of lost time injuries. In 1987, the City had a record high 2,976 lost time hours. In 1990, this number was reduced to 112. The City of Eden Prairie not only receives a benefit from safety by decreasing productivity losses and improving employee morale, but also receives a substantial monetary reward for its investment in safety. Due to a much improved loss record in workers compensation claims in 1990, the City received a refund check from the League of Minnesota Cities Trust for $150,734.

Part of my responsibilities will be to lecture. With the information you have provided I will plan two or three lectures on the City of Eden Prairie, its government, business community and its social, recreational and residential community. I plan on meeting with the heads of the government of the city I will be assigned to. It would be a pleasure to be able to present them with a "key" to Eden Prairie. Hopefully, I'll be able to return their key to Eden Prairie. It would be exciting to have a sister city in China. Please present this to the board for me as an agenda item. I will promise to do my utmost to be a good ambassador for Eden Prairie. Sincrely , "ari Graham Director /v1 q 250 Prairie Center Drive, #130 • Eden Prairie, MN 55344 • Phone 612-944-2830 UNAPPROVED MINUTES CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE BOARD OF REVIEW THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1991 BOARD OF REVIEW MEMBERS: BOARD OF REVIEW STAFF: 7:00 PM, CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS 7600 Executive Drive Chairman Douglas Tenpas, Richard Anderson, Jean Harris, H. Martin Jessen, and Patricia Pidcock City Manager Carl J. Jullie, City Assessor Steve Sinell, Hennepin County Representative Larry Miller, and Recording Secretary Jan Nelson PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ROLL CALL: All members were present. I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Chairman Tenpas. City Manager Jullie stated notice of this meeting had been properly published in the Eden Prairie News and had been included with each valuation notice sent to homeowners. Tenpas explained the purpose of the meeting, reviewed the procedures to be followed during the meeting, and explained the process for further appeal by property owners. Jullie said the Board is required to reconvene within 20 days of this meeting to hear any appeals continued from tonight's meeting. He said each appellant would be notified of the date and place of the second meeting. II. ORDER OF BUSINES A. Personal Appeals 1. ARNIE FJELLAND - Appeal resolved. 2. RICHARD & CATHERINE ELLENSON The Ellensons were not present. 3. GORDON STODOLA Mr. Stodola said he was appealing the valuation on the portion of his property that has been classified as Residential Homestead Secondary since 1983. He Liao Board of Review 2 April 18, 1991 distributed a map showing the layout of the area. He said the valuation of $35,000 is much higher than similar properties he researched and that there are drainage problems on the property, partly because of the development around his property. Sinell said this is a 1.8 acre property adjoining their primary residence, and the only issue appears to be the value of the property. Sinell said they would like to have the appraiser and the Engineering Department take a look at it and give an opinion on the problems. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to refer the Stodola property, PID 05-116-22 42 0003, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 4. DENNIS NORDBERG - Appeal resolved. 5. JOHN DAVIS II - Mr. Davis said he had appeared before the Board of Review in 1989 to appeal an increase from $159,000 to $184,000. He said he asked then that his valuation be on a parity with his neighbors and that tonight he is again asking for parity. Davis referred to his letter of April 1, 1991 which showed market value and square footage figures for several similar style homes in his area. He noted that his home is 16% larger than the average of those similar homes, but it is valued over 26% more than those homes. Sinell said the location and over-all quality of the home is considered in addition to the size. He said he would like to have an appraiser complete a review of the property and share the results with Mr. Davis. He noted that the Board set the value of the property in 1989 and that value hasn't changed. Pidcock asked when the last on-site valuation was done. Sinell said it was done in 1989. Davis said he had offered to have staff perform a review but they said it wasn't necessary. He said he didn't understand why they now want to come back to review the property at this point. MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to refer the Davis property, PID 24-116-22 43 0036, to staff for further review. Tenpas said he would like to see the Council take action on some of these requests tonight. He said he q;,1 Board of Review 3 April 18, 1991 would be inclined to go with the proponent's estimated value of $160,200. Jessen asked if it was standard practice to not do the market comparisons on a property until after the first Board of Review meeting. Sinell said notices are sent to 14,800 people every year and staff resolves as many appeals as possible before the meeting in order to limit the number having to appear at this meeting. He said in this case a preliminary review of the property indicated that the valuation of $184,000 was supportable. Harris said it would be useful to have information on recent sales in the neighborhood. Anderson called the question. Vote on the Motion: Motion carried with Tenpas opposed. 6. ANDRZEJ PECZALSKI - Mr. Peczalski said he thought the value of his property should be $129,400 because of the fact that recent values have not changed that much. He said the value was increased to $132,400 a few months after he paid $126,000 for the property and the only improvement he has made is central air conditioning. He presented figures on several properties in his neighborhood that have sold recently which he used as a basis for his requested value of $129,400. Sinell said they would like to continue working on an appraisal of this property and to check out the comparables Mr. Peczalski referred to. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to refer the Peczalski property, PID 25-116-22 41 0039, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 7. GERALD & ROSE ANN JENSEN - The Jensens were not present. Sinell said they asked this to be considered their written appeal. He said staff is working on a market comparison and would like time to complete that. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Jessen, to refer the Jensen property, PID 07-116-22 42 0040, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. Board of Review 4 April 18, 1991 8. FRED PURCELL - Mr. Purcell said he had no complaint with the valuation of his house; however, recent street improvements and development in the area have caused drainage problems on his land. He said they now have water in the basement because they are getting drainage from a larger area. Purcell said he would like the drainage pipe upgraded and moved to the property line; or, alternatively, he would like a reduction of $9,600 in the valuation of his land. Jullie asked Purcell if he had seen a copy of a memo from City Engineer Alan Gray to Steve Sinell that was just written today addressing storm drainage on the property. Purcell said he had not. Sinell said this appears to be a two-part appeal: one would be the market value of the property assuming there is no drainage problem affecting the property; and the other determining whether the drainage issue has had a negative effect on the value of the property. He said they are working on a market comparison and just received the memo from Gray, so they would like this referred back to staff. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Jessen, to refer the Purcell property, PID 21-116-22 22 0024, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. Tenpas noted that he would like to see the resolution of the drainage issue before the assessing department handles it. 9. STANLEY & GRETCHEN DORR - Appeal resolved. 10. BRUCE & KATHY RIEMER - The Riemers supplied a list of homes in their neighborhood whose valuations did not increase as much theirs did. Mrs. Riemers said their market value was increased to $158,000 immediately after they purchased the home for $151,400. She said that was lowered to $152,800 after they protested the increase; however, this year the value was again increased to $155,700. She said they have added a deck to their home, but several homes in the neighborhood that have added decks have not had an increase in their valuation. Sinell said staff found several comparables in the neighborhood that would sustain the $155,700 valuation Board of Review 5 April 18, 1991 and asked that this be referred back to staff to put the appraisal together with the comparables and return to the Board at the next meeting. Anderson asked if the assessor had been through the home. Mrs. Riemer said the assessor was out for the initial assessment and came out the other day to measure the square footage of the home from the outside. MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris to adjust the valuation of the Riemer property, PID 22-116-22 12 0028, to $153,000. Motion carried unanimously. 11. LEONARD KODET - Mr. Kodet was not present. Sinell said this property was reviewed at the Board's direction in 1990 and in 1989. He said the value was set at $90,700 by the Board in 1990 and that is still short of what the house would probably sell for. He said they have found comparables that indicate a value range of $95,000 - $102,800 in the neighborhood. Sinell said Mr. Kodet is asking that the valuation be set at $85,000 because of the adverse effect of such things as the Eden Prairie Road congestion and no City sewer and water. MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Pidcock, to sustain the estimated market value on the Kodet property, PID 04-116-22 23 0039, at $90,700. Motion carried unanimously. 12. RONALD ANDERSON - Anderson said the appraiser was out last week and reduced the value by $7,000, which he considered a step in the right direction. He said that lots in their neighborhood are generally selling for less than the purchase price. Because of that he said they feel the lot price should be lowered; however, the appraiser was reducing the house value by $7,000. Anderson also said that there was a house in his neighborhood that has gone through five growing seasons without any lawn coverage and it is now an eyesore because of the erosion damage. Sinell said they are working on comparables for this property and have found a range of $252,000 - $270,000. He said the suggested value of $245,000 would be a fairly consistent value with the comparables. aq Board of Review 6 April 18, 1991 MOTION: Pidcock moved to accept the appraiser's suggested valuation on the Anderson property, PID 16- 116-22 33 0010, to $245,000. Motion died due to lack of a second. MOTION: Harris moved to adjust the estimated market value of the Anderson property, PID 16-116-22 33 0010, to $243,000. Harris withdrew the motion. Tenpas asked what the average increase in value was for Eden Prairie. Sinell said it was a little over 1%. Pidcock said it was 1.4%. Jessen asked what improvements have been made to the property recently. Anderson said they have put about $17,000 in the house; however, he wanted the value of the land to be reduced. MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adjust the estimated market value of the Anderson property, PID 16-116-22 33 0010, to $240,000. Motion carried unanimously. 13. LOUISE & DALE SCHURLE - Appeal resolved. 14. MICHAEL & KATHLEEN HAMILL - Appeal resolved. 15. MICHAEL PAN - Mrs. Pan said they object to the lot valuation because, although their lot is the smallest in the neighborhood, it is valued at $58,000 which is more than most of the other properties. Tenpas asked how much the land valuation went up. Sinell said the land is now valued at $58,000 and it was valued at $48,900 in 1990. Harris asked why there was such a large jump. Sinell said the neighborhood was one that was revalued this year, and many times values in a neighborhood will show fairly large increases when the revaluation occurs. Sinell said he would like to have it referred back to staff to finish the appraisal and to specifically address the size of the lot. Anderson asked if there has been a general evaluation in property adjacent to water areas. Sinell said properties on lakes are appreciating at a much faster LIRS- Board of Review 7 April 18, 1991 rate than similar property off the lake, and the same is true to a lesser extent for other properties with similar amenities. Pan said she didn't understand why there was such a large range in the neighborhood since her valuation is $5,000-$10,000 more than her neighbors. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to refer the Pan property, PID 17-116-22 21 0017, to staff for further review. Anderson said he would like to have some information on lakeshore property valuations when this comes back to the Board because he has received phone calls on this situation. Vote on the Motion: Motion carried unanimously. 16. MARSHALL SIMONS - Mr. Simons said his property has an estimated value of $73,000 and he just bought it in October for $68,000. He said he thought the purchase price should indicate the value of the property. He said they upgraded the carpet for $700, so he thought the valuation should be $68,700. Sinell said this was a purchase of a previously foreclosed property. He said they have sales in the area with purchase prices of $72,700-$82,900. Tenpas said he thought the fair market value should be what the purchase price was, especially for such a recent sale. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to adjust the 1991 estimated market value of the Simons property, PID 15-116-22 33 0015, to $70,500. Jessen said he didn't see the object of splitting the difference with the property owner since it was such a recent purchase. Anderson said he thought the sale price is only one of the criteria, and such things as distressed sales and other circumstances must also be considered. Sinell said he understood the property was foreclosed and the Simons bought it from the VA. Vote on the Motion: Motion defeated with Jessen, Tenpas and Pidcock opposed. qc,,(0 Board of Review 8 April 18, 1991 MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adjust the 1991 estimated market value of the Simons property, PID 15-116-22 33 0015, to $68,700. Motion carried with Anderson opposed. 17. RAYMOND RICE - Mr. Rice said he has made no improvements to his property and yet he had a 12% increase in valuation. He said the Board decreased his valuation to $325,000 in 1989 and he didn't think it should have been increased from that value. MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Pidcock, to defer discussion on this property. Motion carried unanimously. 18. DONALD & YVETTE PATON Sinell said this was a written appeal and staff would like time to complete the review. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to refer the Paton property, PID 17-116-22 13 0025, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 19. RAYMOND & CHRISTINE MURRAY - Appeal resolved. 20. ROBERT WIENS - Mr. Wiens said his valuation was reduced by the Board in 1989 to $128,300. He said there have been no changes to his house except that there is now a house to the left that was graded so that it drains onto his property and blocks his view. He showed pictures of comparable homes that he had completed research on. Sinell said this entire neighborhood was reviewed for the 1991 assessment. He said their preliminary information indicates a range of $165,000-$175,000 for this property. He said some of the properties in this area have very positive views and others don't. He said staff would like to complete the appraisal of the property and do research on the comparables Mr. Wiens provided. Wiens said he thought $30,000 worth of view was out of line. MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Pidcock, to refer the Wiens property, PID 05-116-22 14 0057, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. Board of Review 9 April 18, 1991 21. LONNY & ALISON GULDEN - Mr. Gulden said he appealed his valuation last year and the appraiser agreed that his property should be valued at $185,000, with $52,500 for the lot and $132,500 for the house. He said the entire area was reappraised late last year and his assessed valuation went up to $202,600. He said the land increased $12,500 and the house increased $5,100. He said he didn't believe the lot could have increased 24% in value in six months. Gulden said his lot abuts Anderson Lakes Parkway directly across from the athletic fields. He said the property also adjoins land that is zoned for multi- family. Sinell said the Lake Heights neighborhood was revalued this year. He said they did a market comparison of the neighborhood and came up with a range of value from $211,000 and up. Gulden shared information on other comparables in the neighborhood that would indicate a considerably lower value. Sinell said he would like to check out the comparables Gulden shared. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to refer the Gulden property, PID 23-116-22 13 0018, to staff for further review. Tenpas said he would like to see all of the information Mr. Gulden provided included in the staff review. Anderson said at one time the City brought in some assessors as neutral parties for those situations where there was disagreement. Jullie said there was a difficulty getting people that are knowledgeable about the market and that we discontinued the practice. Tenpas said there is a great deal of subjectivity in the appraisal business and we seem to have the same problems every year with property owners presenting comparable properties that substantiate their valuation and staff presents the opposite. He said he thought it was apparent that any changes we have made in the process have not helped alleviate the problems. Anderson said he thought we need an independent party to come in and determine the right value. He asked what it would cost to appraise an average property in Eden Prairie. Pidcock said it would be about $150. Board of Review 10 April 18, 1991 Tenpas said he thought we should look at a commission or a body that has some experience in this area that could review the appeals. Vote on the Motion: Motion carried unanimously. 17. RAYMOND RICE - The Board continued discussion of Mr. Rice's appeal at this point. Sinell said this property was part of a revaluation neighborhood. He said they have comparables that indicate a value of $423,000. Tenpas asked how many houses there were on the cul-de- sac. Rice said there are four. Tenpas said he would like to see more comparables and an analysis of the cul-de-sac showing the market values for the rest of the homes. Anderson noted that Mr. Rice had the option of obtaining an independent appraisal to provide additional information on his property. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to refer the Rice property, PID 17-116-22 24 0015, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 22. MARK PETERKA - Appeal resolved. 23. ELIZABETH MCCARTNEY - Appeal resolved. 24. SCOTT ELFSTROM/LAKE PLACE APARTMENTS - Appeal resolved. 25. MARRIOTT CORPORATION - Sinell said they have additional information and need to do a further analysis on this property. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Jessen, to refer the Marriott Corporation property, PID 11-116-22 44 0021, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 26. RESIDENCE INN/MARRIOTT - Sinell said they have received information on income and expenses so they can perform a complete analysis. Board of Review 11 April 18, 1991 MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Jessen, to refer the Residence Inn/Marriott property, PID 11-116-22 43 0003, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 27. DONALD BROMEN - Sinell said this was a written appeal and they would like it referred back. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to refer the Bromen property, PID 11-116-22 42 0041, to staff for further review. Motion carried unanimously. 28.

Major Center Area Meeting; IV. 3. grant for Fitnesa Course. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to approve the Agenda as amended and published. Motion carried unanimously. II. IXTR0DUCTION5 The following representatives introduced themselves: Jim Kephart, Larry Samstead and Russ Sorenson, representing the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District; Helen McClelland and Aileen Kulak, representing the Nine-Mile Creek Watershed District; Fritz Rahr, Susan Scribner and Howard Peterson, representing the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District; and Bob Obermyer, engineer for the Riley-Purgatory- Bluff Creek Watershed District. III. DISCUSSION - ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES City Council Meeting 2 April 23, 1991 City Manager Jullie said the purpose of this meeting was to share information on the status of several environmental issues that the Council had identified as needing further review. A. surface 'Qatar Ouality Director of Planning Enger reviewed the activities of the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BOWSR). He said the purpose of the Board is to identify water-related problems now and within a 20-year period, and the Board was created specifically to have a centralized responsibility for dealing with water issues. He described some of the proposed regulations to deal with surface water runoff and pollution that will be enforced by either the local Watershed District and/or the local municipality. Tenpas asked if the BOWSR Board was a state or county organization. Peterson said it is a 12-member state board and he has been a member of it since its inception. Peterson related some of the history behind the creation of the Board. Jessen asked who will make up the implementor's committee for the new rules. Scribner said the task force will be made up of about 65 people, including representatives from the Watershed Districts, the cities, the engineering organizations and the conservation districts. Tenpas asked how the Board is handling the economic impact of the rules. Scribner said they have formed a subcommittee to get information back from the cities about such issues. Tenpas commented that phasing the rules in would help to ease the impact of the regulations. Jessen asked how the Watershed Districts felt about the working relationship with the city regarding such things as review of development projects, overall stormwater management, and floodplain protection. McClelland said she felt the Nine-Mile Creek Watershed District has an excellent working relationship with Eden Prairie. Sorenson said the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District also has a good working relationship with the City. Jessen asked how we are doing on revising the shoreland ordinance and on floodplain management. Scribner said the bluffs setbacks have been a concern to the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District. Rahr said they have a concern about testing of heavy metals in the water. Jessen said it would be important to have up-to-date information on lakes with public beaches. Howard said Riley-Purgatory Creek has directed their staff to get some numbers on the lakes in their area and that information could be shared with the City. c)"3 City Council Meeting 3 April 23, 1991 B. Wetlands - "No Net Loss Policy" Enger reviewed two bills before the legislature that will move the DNR from management of wetland areas to protection of wetland areas to ensure that there is no further loss of wetlands. He said they are expanding the wetland categories, and he showed a map of Eden Prairie with the areas marked that would be included in the new categories. Jessen said he thought no net loss was a great policy but there has not been much of a program to go along with it. He said he thought we have to find a way to determine those areas that are most valuable and then manage them for that purpose. He said he thought we need bigger wetland preservation areas away from the cities. Anderson said we have lost tremendous amounts of our hills, woodlands and lakes and he thought we need to look closely at the development of the southwest part of the city so that no uncompensated loss of wetlands occurs there. Returning to the previous discussion of Surface Water Quality, Anderson said he had a real concern with a recent survey that showed the Mississippi River to be one of the most polluted rivers in the country, and that the greatest source of pollution starting in the Twin Cities area is the Minnesota River. He asked how we would start the process of cleaning up the Minnesota River. Enger said the Metropolitan Council Technical Advisory Committee on the Lower Minnesota River was set up to deal with that issue. He said he believes from the investigations of the committee that the nutrient pollution of the river comes from agricultural areas outside the urban area, while the heavy metal pollution is higher in the urban areas. Director of Public Works Dietz said he thought one of the problems is that there is not a program going on in the rural areas, and this may be a key to solving the Minnesota River problems. Peterson said the MNRAP program is attempting to define the sources of pollutants in the Minnesota River. McClelland said she was concerned that industrial waste and raw sewage are still being dumped into the Minnesota River upstream. Jessen said he was concerned with erosion control in the City and what we could do together to improve that. Peterson said he thought it came down to the relationships with the developers. A discussion followed regarding how the City monitors and follows up on erosion problems and qq City Council Meeting 4 April 23, 1991 how our procedures might be changed to better deal with problems. C. safe Drinking Water Act Dietz reviewed the information in his memo of April 19th concerning the Safe Drinking Water Act. He said some testing was done in 1987 and that, in general, we did not have a particular problem at that time. He said the ruling on lead that will be coming out may cause some problems with the water supplies in individual homes. He said another rule coming up regarding radon may also affect the City, depending on the regulations included. He said there is an RFP out for additional testing and that testing should be completed by late summer. Jessen asked how many of the contaminants and chemicals were tested for in 1987. Dietz said he thought it was over 70. Harris asked if well water used by individual homeowners is tested on a periodic basis. Dietz said they don't administer such a program so it is left up to the individual homeowner. Pidcock said both the well and septic system must be tested if the homeowner is selling the property. Jessen said well water testing might be an appropriate article for the newsletter, perhaps when the results of the City testing are published. D. River Bluff Protection Jullie called attention to the draft memo on the Minnesota River Bluffs Study included in the packets and the recommendations included in that draft. He said he had checked with the City Attorney about how we can enforce erosion control. He said the City Attorney found that our building code provisions allow us to go onto a property and make corrections if we determine that a public safety hazard exists. He said we could probably determine that significant erosion was a public hazard situation. Jullie said we may also be able to regulate with the zoning code, developers' agreement conditions and the settlement agreement with the owners of the landfill. Harris asked if the staff recommendations will be on the agenda for a regular Council meeting. Enger said that this draft is very early in the process and that meetings with commissions and property owners have not yet been held. Jessen said he would also like to see a status report on how we are doing on those things that the Minnesota River Valley National Wildlife Refuge Act set forth. Enger said the recommendations in the memo are nearly identical to those set forth in that act. City Council Meeting 5 April 23, 1991 E. Landscaping Jullie said there has been ongoing concern about watering and irrigation of landscaping. Tenpas said he thought that there should be some minimum landscaping requirements for development. Pidcock noted that there are sprinkling systems available that can be shutoff while it is raining. Harris said she thought we should be looking at alternative ways of landscaping that would not require extensive watering in order not to penalize individual homeowners. Jessen said he thought we should look at the whole system and come up with something that doesn't increase the costs of development and homeownership. Enger said we require landscaping on all but single-family developments, and on single-family developments we require some type of cover. Anderson asked how much time they have to do that. Enger said that is not prescribed and they go back on an individual basis to determine a schedule with the homeowner to establish the cover. Tenpas said he thought we should suggest that developers include at least minimal landscaping so that homeowners can pay for it as part of their mortgage. Pidcock said most developers put grass on the front and side yards, but often leave the backyards for the homeowners to take care of. F. Engineering Standards 1. Street Design Tenpas said he wanted to talk about cul-de-sacs because the issue comes up frequently. He said Minnetonka has a lot of cul-de-sacs and they haven't experienced a lot of problems with them. Anderson said the City Council made a decision to limit the use of cul-de-sacs about four to six years ago on advice from public safety, the engineering department and the school district. Harris said she thought you have to look at the use of cul-de-sacs on a case by case basis, and that the principal concerns are safety and traffic flow. Tenpas said he thought there should be some flexibility on the Council's policy for those cases where a cul-de-sac makes more sense. Harris said she would prefer to have Staff follow the policy and then have the Council deal with the issue on a case by case basis. Pidcock said she agreed. City Council Meeting 6 April 23, 1991 Tenpas asked if Staff was comfortable with the policy regarding cul-de-sacs. Enger said Staff is quite comfortable with the policy of no unnecessary cul-de- sacs; however, he thought the problem we do have is with the 75 dead-end roads that exist in the City. 2. Drainaae Design Dietz reviewed the City's drainage plan including the design of the storm sewer system for a ten-year frequency event and the design of the retention facilities and floodplain areas for the 100-year frequency events. He said we have the advantage of the creek system that forms the backbone of our drainage system in Eden Prairie thereby avoiding the elaborate pipe systems some communities must install. Anderson said he was concerned about direct drainage from streets to lakes. He said there is more and more run-off from the parking lots and streets that is having an adverse affect on our lakes. Dietz said the next budget will include a line item to hire a consultant to look at water quality. He said the idea of a storm water utility will be studied to pay for some of the water quality issues. Samstead said the Lower Minnesota Valley Watershed District has put in a request that developers put in a skimmer mechanism to help control some of the water run-off. Sorenson commented that the skimmers then have to be maintained. Dietz said the city has put in sump manholes and has the equipment to clean them; however, they have a problem with where to dump the dredgings. At this point the representatives of the various organizations were excused, and the Council continued the discussion regarding street design. Jessen said he thought fewer streets, narrower streets and fewer curbs would be better and would give us the opportunity to protect and conserve water by not requiring an elaborate storm drainage system. Harris said she was concerned that narrower streets would pose a safety hazard for pedestrians, especially school children, in those areas where there are no sidewalks. Anderson said he thought we need to look at some kind of parking restrictions that would help safeguard pedestrians on narrower streets. qfl City Council Meeting 7 April 23, 1991 Pidcock said there are certain areas that are very congested. Dietz said there seems to be a trend to smaller lots and shorter driveways in recent years, and we may well end up with more on-street parking. Dietz said perhaps Staff could do a study on this situation and present some alternatives to the Council sometime this fall. Tenpas said he would like to take a look at environmental issues as they relate to street width. Jessen said he was suggesting that we balance up traffic, safety, and environment and make the decisions on the basis of a well-informed discussion. Anderson said he thought parking lots are also a problem and that we should take a look at the whole problem of parking in the City. 3. Boulevard Treeg Anderson said he has received some information on the beneficial effects of boulevard trees, and he thought some of our streets should be planned with boulevard trees. Tenpas said he would be in favor of having one in every front yard. Pidcock said she felt very strongly that we should have them. Anderson said he thought that we need to find out how to go about putting them in effectively. Enger said we would have to work with the Engineering Department as the boulevards are packed with underground utilities. He said he would suggest that the City prescribe where the tree is placed so that the boulevard tree would actually be planted on private property and the City would then not have to get involved in the maintenance of boulevard trees. 4. Street Lighting Pidcock said at one point we were considering special lighting for the Major Center Area. Dietz said there was a memo written by Staff that dealt with some design standards for the MCA including the street lighting. He said we have several options; however the $577,000 budgeted for those lights will not pay for lighting on all the streets. He said that a special assessment might be necessary, or we might have to cut down on the number of streets with that special lighting. Pidcock said she has received calls regarding street lighting particularly from the older sections of the City. Dietz said they have had some controversy over this issue and they now require a petition with virtually everyone's name on it to put lighting in City Council Meeting 8 April 23, 1991 the older neighborhoods so they can be assured that they all want the lighting. Referring to Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Lambert's memo of February 25th regarding environmental issues, Jessen said he thought there were several good suggestions in that memo regarding what can be done to protect the environment. He said he thought there should be special emphasis put on those suggestions and on other environmental issues in the City newsletters. IV. OTHER susibigss 1. Update on Status of City Hall Site Jullie said they are looking at the CPT building in some detail so they can report back on that. He said they need some more information from Welsh in order to firm up the land valuation question for dealing with Mr. Naegele. Harris asked if there is any date on that. Tenpas said it is difficult to coordinate schedules but negotiations should be done by May 15th. 2. Major Center Area Meeting Harris said she thought we need some structure regarding the meeting with the participants in the MCA. Jessen said he had in mind to have a couple of Councilmembers, some Commission members, Staff, and property owners from the area between Hwy. 169 and Purgatory Creek get together to address the concept of the Purgatory Creek Recreation area. He said he thought we need to discuss whether the property owners are willing to work with the City to produce something special in the area. Enger said there are 172 property owners in the MCA, and he thought the question was whether to include all owners or to focus it down. Jessen said he thought it was important to limit the area and the focus. Jessen and Anderson volunteered to serve as Council participants. MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to appoint Jessen and Anderson to serve on the MCA Subcommittee. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Grant for Fitness Course Harris said she saw a vita-type course at Elm Creek that was put in with a National Fitness Campaign Grant Committee grant. She said she would like to investigate getting such a grant for the City. Lambert said he would City Council Meeting 9 April 23, 1991 check on it further; however, we obtained funding from them for the one at the Middle School and he thought there was a limit of one per community. 4. Zlectromagnetic Fields under Power Linea Pidcock said she had seen some information on the effect on health and the environment of electromagnetic fields under power lines, and she would like to have Staff get it so the Council could be prepared for the next time NSP requests more power lines. Lambert said he would look into it. V. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 PM. Motion carried unanimously.

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS VII. PETITIONS. REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS A. Request from G. E. Capital Leasing for Goose Population Control Jullie explained the concern of G.E. Capital Leasing over the goose population on its parcel at the northwest end of Anderson Lakes. He reviewed the history of removing geese in the area which had been coordinated by Dr. James Cooper from the University of Minnesota. G.E. Capital Leasing had requested the City's approval for an on- going maintenance program to keep the goose population under control. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission had discussed this item at its May 6, 1991 meeting and continued qt/.5 Eden Prairie 4 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved review of the matter to a future meeting. Any recommendations would await further analysis by staff. Anderson said he would like to find a permanent way of dealing with the goose population throughout the City. Tenpas agreed. Pidcock said that Chanhassen had a plan for controlling geese and said she would favor the City having such a plan. Jessen was also in favor of finding a permanent City-wide plan to control the geese. MOTION Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, that a permanent plan for controlling Eden Prairie's goose population be developed by the City before mid-June. Anderson said he would like to see a recommendation from the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission for goose control for the entire City, which would include the property of G. E. Capital Leasing. Lambert said that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission had recommended on a 6-0 vote that the staff develop a plan for permanent control of the goose population in the City. Motion approved 5-0. MOTION Jessen moved to approve the request of G. E. Capital leasing for the removal of 6-8 pair of geese from its property this year only. Seconded by Pidcock. Motion approved 5-0. B. Request from TriCor Investments (Resolution No. 9 1 -8 7 / Jullie said that TriCor Investments was the partnership which developed the Welsh Companies' office building. In 1983 the City had authorized issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide tax- exempt financing for the project. Because this approval had come prior to the policy adopted in 1986 which imposed the 1/8% fee on such transactions, the project had been exempt from the fee. TriCor was now negotiating a reduction in the interest rate it was paying, and TriCor's financial documents require it to come back through the City process. Because of Council action the 1/8% fee would apply to this transaction. However, because this was simply a change in interest rate, TriCor believed it was unwarranted for the City to impose the fee and was requesting a waiver. The fee would amount to approximately $2,000 a year. q gut Eden Prairie 5 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved Harris said she did not believe it was appropriate to make an exception to the policy in this case. Anderson said he would not be in favor of changing the policy at this time. MOTION Jessen moved to approve Resolution No. 91-87 to deny the request to waive the 1/8% fee, and to consider the matter of charging the fee during budget considerations for 1992. Seconded by Harris. Motion approved 4-1 with Tenpas voting Nay. VIII. REPORTS OF ADVISORY BOARDS. COMMISSIONS. & COMMITTEES A. 1-494 Corridor Commission - Request for Council Endorsement of I- 494 Corridor Commission's TOM Beliefs and Goals (Resolution No. 91- 107) Jullie said this was a request from the 1-494 Corridor Commission requesting adoption of Resolution No. 91-107 regarding its Travel Demand Management (TDM) beliefs and goals. MOTION Anderson moved to adopt Resolution No. 91-107. Seconded by Harris. Motion approved 5-0. IX. APPOINTMENTS A. Appointment of Council Representative to the Eden Prairie Foundation. JuHie said that the Eden Prairie Foundation required one of the eleven members on its Board of Directors to be a City Council representative. Councilmember Harris had represented the City for one term. Since members typically served two three-year terms, the Foundation had requested Council to make a reappointment. MOTION Jessen moved, seconded by Anderson, that Harris be reappointed to represent the Council on the Eden Prairie Foundation Board of Directors. Motion approved 5-0. 91-1S Eden Prairie 6 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS A. Reports of Councilmembera 1. Graffiti Bridge Harris suggested that the City, together with the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Department and the Eden Prairie Public School District consider something as a replacement for function of the Graffiti Bridge abutments. She also suggested selling pieces of the bridge as souvenirs. Pidcock and Jessen said they believed it was an excellent idea. Anderson said he would like to see a replacement for the bridge. Dietz suggested consulting with the Police Department before it was decided to designate a another place for graffiti. He said his hope was that graffiti would not be allowed anywhere in the City after Graffiti Bridge was removed. 2. Solid Waste Harris suggested directing staff and the Waste Management Commission to investigate what could be done to increase the number of people participating in recycling in the City. Dawson said the participation rate figures were rather misleading and not necessarily an accurate measurement of how much recycling was going on. The best measurement was to look at how much was being taken out of the overall waste stream. He said multi-family recycling should help bring the number of participants up. Tenpas suggested referring the matter to the Waste Management • Commission for response. 3. Board of Review Harris said she believed consideration should be given to a better way of achieving the goal of this type of review. She stated that several years ago she had suggested that a group of individuals with expertise in this area be empaneled, along with a group of residents to evaluate this process. She said she would like to request the staff to present several options for Council consideration. She said that she believed expertise in financing, real estate, and construction would be helpful. Tenpas said he believed that Council should be represented because it was the responsibility of Councilmembers to make decisions on taxation matters. He said he would also like to see if there was a better method that could be used. Anderson and Pidcock agreed. Anderson suggested finding out what other cities were doing and said he believed having an independent appraiser involved would work very well. Jessen said he would like to explore other gqo Eden Prairie 7 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved options, but agreed with Tenpas that the Council was elected to make such decisions. 4. Disability Awareness Week Acknowledgements Pidcock said she was disappointed that there was no mention in the City's official newspaper of the proclamation made at the last Council meeting for Disability Awareness Week. 5. Electro-Magnetic Fields from High Voltage Wires Pidcock asked if there was any more recent information on this topic than that contained in the report from 1988. Jessen said there was not. Pidcock suggested having a policy in place for the next time the City was requested to allow placement of high- voltage wires. 6. Development Plans Jessen reported on a meeting held May 1, 1991 with owners of undeveloped property in the Major Center Area. Councilmembers Jessen and Anderson were present as well as Carl Jullie and several staff members. The majority of the property owners were also represented. He said it was clear that if the variances for the proposed development on the Bermel property were approved, development on the Teman property would follow shortly. One of the property owners was interested in putting together a partnership with other property owners for development in the Major Center Area, and the results of this effort would be known approximately 10 days. If a partnership was not formed, the Council would soon be reviewing the proposal for commercial development on the Bermel property. Anderson said he was encouraged by the meeting. He said he believed the City should consider initiating the development plans for the Major Center Area. Tenpas said he believed the City should be pro-active in development of the Major Center area. Pidcock said she favored encouraging development, but at the same time, being careful not to lower any standards while being pro-active in this regard. Lambert asked if Council wished to send the letter proposed several weeks ago to owners of property in the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. Jessen suggested holding the letter until the end of the week of May 13. Council concurred. (41 Eden Prairie 8 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved 7. Letter from U. S. Marine Corps Tenpas called Council attention to a letter he had received from the United States Marine Corps which was soliciting community action projects and stating it would be able work on several types of construction and land-clearing projects. Tenpas requested staff to keep the letter on file for any future needs the City may have. B. Report of City Manager 1. Proposal from Setter, Leac_n tin ta_al itectural Firm Jullie said the item related to a parcel of land which included a building on the Eaton Corporation property, a 7.6 acre parcel with a 66,000 square-foot building. Since the parcel was now for sale, staff had investigated the potential of using the building for a Parks/Public Works maintenance site since the present facility will be lost to construction of the Highway 5-212/Mitchell Road interchange. He said staff had decided it had some potential as well as some problems. Staff recommended contracting with the Setter, Leach and Lindstrom architectural firm for its recommendation on the feasibility of using the building. The cost of the study would not exceed $3,000. MOTION Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to authorize the expenditure of $3,000 for a report on the building from Setter, Leach and Lindstrom. Motion approved 5-0. 2. Proposed Quality Management Program Jullie reviewed the plans to initiate a training program to promote a sense of quality in customer service among City staff. He said the strategy at this point would be to incorporate the ideas of strategic planning, quality management, and customer service into one package. The proposal would utilize the expertise of consultants in the overall approach. The program development would be undertaken in four stages: (1) Acquire an understanding of the City as a service business. This phase would consist of strategic planning involving the Council and department heads. (2) Organization Assessment, which would consist of interviews with department heads and several staff from each department to get a sense of what quality management opportunities existed. (3) Development of a quality improvement structure based on the findings of the organization assessment. Goals and new programs would be identified and the formation of quality teams would begin. (4) Plan Implementation, which would include skill-building workshops and management training for City Eden Prairie 9 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved employees, utilizing resources from the private sector as appropriate. He said $24,000 had been allocated in the 1991 budget for training aimed at the customer service area and the implementation of the proposal would not exceed that amount. The consensus of the Council was to support and endorse the program as presented by the City Manager. C. Report of Finance Director 1. Recommendations regarding Liquor Operations Frane introduced Carol Olson and Jan McTavish from CJ Olson Marketing Service, the consultants on the recommendation for a location of a municipal liquor operation. Olson and McTavish reviewed their findings through the use of maps and charts. The report recommended the purchase of a site for additional liquor operation in the Prairieview Center area while keeping the existing stores in the present locations at Prairie Village Mall and Preserve Center. Jullie said staff was requesting authorization to employ a real estate agent to negotiate for a site in the Prairieview Center area, and if this were not possible, to search for a site in the Major Center Area. He also said the lease at the Preserve Center Store would expire on June 1, 1991 and a new three-year lease had been offered with an optional two-year extension. The first two years• would be at the present rate with an $0.18 per square foot per year increase in subsequent years. The Prairie Village Mall lease would expire in September, 1992. Jessen said he was concerned about buying a site at the present time because he believed planned construction in the area would hurt business. He said he was not sure that a purchase of a site was the best decision. Anderson said he was also concerned about how much the construction would affect shopping at the Rainbow Foods store. Pidcock said she was concerned about the effect the new Cub Store would have on Rainbow Foods and traffic in that area. She suggested that putting the store near Lunds would be a better choice. She also said she was concerned that the cost of land would be higher in several years. Eden Prairie 10 May 7, 1991 City Council Minutes Unapproved Tenpas said he would prefer a lease arrangement until it was determined if the City could remain competitive and make a profit with the liquor operation. He would recommend leasing space in the Prairieview Center area. Anderson agreed. Harris said she would favor a more cautious approach and would favor leasing space in the Prairieview Center area. After further discussion it was the consensus of the Council to continue this item until the next meeting and requestcrifin information from staff as to leasing costs and anticipa ed traffic patterns. MOTION Jessen moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue this item to the May 21, 1991 meeting. Motion approved 5-0. 2. 1st Quarter Budget Report Frane presented the 1st Quarter Budget Report and briefly covered the highlights. He introduced new Senior Accountant Sara Ruth, the staff member who compiled the report. The consensus of the Council was to continue this item for review and discussion at the Council meeting of May 21, 1991. D. Report of Director of Public Works 1. Award Contract for 1991 Bituminous Seal Coating. I.C. 52-228 Dietz Recommended that the Award Contract for 1991 Bituminous Seal Coating be awarded to Allied Blacktop Company. MOTION Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to award the contract for 1991 Bituminous Seal Coating, I.C. 52-228 to Allied Blacktop Company. Motion approved 5-0. XI. OTHER BUSINESS Tenpas reported that Douglas Bryant from the Hennepin Parks Board had expressed to him that he was pleased with the response from Council at the last meeting to the presentation made by Hennepin Parks, and Bryant said he would follow up with Council on suggestions made at that meeting and on any new developments.

JJ:ssa cc: EATON Corporation Ron Krueger & Associates CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION #91-121 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE'S PARTICIPATION IN THE MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY'S (MHFA) MINNESOTA CITIES PARTICIPATION PROGRAM (MCPP) WHEREAS, The City of Eden Prairie is eligible to participate in the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's (MHFA) Minnesota Cities Participation Program (MCPP) for the purpose of assisting first time home buyers in purchasing homes in Eden Prairie. WHEREAS, By participating in the MCPP the City will allow MHFA to access the City of Eden Prairie's local government bond authority to sell bonds on behalf of the City Eden Prairie. WHEREAS, The proceeds from MHFA's sale of mortgage revenue bonds will be used to provide below market financing to low and moderate income first time home buyers. WHEREAS, MHFA will incur bond issuance expenses that would have normally been incurred by cities selling their own bonds. WHEREAS, The City's total bond allotment will be $664,297. WHEREAS, First Bank of Eden Prairie will originate the mortgage loans and will enter into contract with MHFA as to loan origination requirements. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, that the City of Eden Prairie will participate in the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's Minnesota Cities Participation Program and authorizes the City Manager to execute the MHFA Mortgage Revenue Bond Allotment Agreement and Program Application-Commitment Agreement. ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie this 21st day of May, 1991. Douglas B. Tenpas, Mayor ATTEST: John D. Frane MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning, David Lindahl, Planner THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager SUBJECT: MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY'S (MHFA) MINNESOTA CITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAM (MCPP). DATE: May 11, 1991 The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has developed a new program to assist communities in assisting first-time home buyers. In 1990, State lawmakers passed legislation which allows MHFA to access local government revenue bond authority to sell bonds on behalf of cities that identify local housing needs. The primary objective of the program is to provide affordable mortgage financing for low-and moderate-income first time home buyers. To participate, cities must arrange with local lenders to originate the loans under the program. Such lenders are required to enter into a contract with MHFA as to program loan origination requirements. First Banks in Eden Prairie has agreed to participate with the City in delivering the program. Representatives from First Banks met with staff 1990 and expressed interest in participating in delivering this type of program. They are the only bank in Eden Prairie currently participating in the MHFA home mortgage program, which is nearly identical to the MCPP program. The City can designate additional lenders to deliver the program in the future. Thirty-seven communities and counties state-wide applied for $95,000,000 in revenue bonds through this program, with the maximum set-aside for any one agency being $4 million. Eden Prairie staff submitted an application for $1,000,000. Because there are only $39,000,000 in mortgage revenue bonds available in the MHFA housing pool, all requests had to be reduced. The final bond allocations were negotiated and finalized on May 7, 1991, at the MHFA offices in St. Paul. MHFA presented a number of different options which reduced each communities request in an equitable manner. Eden Prairie's bond allocation will be $664,297. Some of the program highlights: Eligibility Requirements: First time buyer (not owned within three years); adjusted gross annual income - $35,500 (deduct $1000/resident of unit). Maximum Purchase Price: $97,840. Interest Rate: From 1.5% - 2% below market mortgage rates at the time of bond issuance (May 23, 1991). City Participation:. Eden Prairie is eligible to apply for this program, and based on the number of phone inquiries received by staff, and applications sent out for the City's Scattered Site Housing program over the last four years, the need for this type of program appears high. It is becoming increasingly difficult for first time buyers to purchase homes in Eden Prairie with the current high cost of housing. Through the MCPP program, the City would be providing ownership opportunities to low and moderate income persons. The City's primary role will be in marketing the program. The loans will be disbursed by First Bank of Eden Prairie on a first come first serve bases, or any other equitable and fair method of disbursement. Request from Council:. Staff has forwarded a deposit check for $6,664.97 and an application agreement to MHFA after phone conversations with each council-member. The Council formally approved the use of the deposit funds at the May 7, 1991, Council meeting. The deposit will be fully refunded after the bond sales in late May. Staff will prepare a resolution for the May 21, 1991, Council meeting, which authorizes the City's participation in the program, and for final execution of all related agreements between the City of Eden Prairie and MHFA. 9&0 CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE CLERK'S LICENSE APPLICATION LIST May 21, 1991 CONTRACTOR (MULTI-FAMILY & COMM.)

Pat Solie Licensing MEMORANDUM TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources 724,s_ DATE: May 16, 1991 SUBJECT: Center Care Program In 1988, the City Council authorized the staff to initiate a Center Care Program to be operated at the Eden Prairie Community Center on a trial basis. The program was contingent on this being a "break-even" program, and providing a service to individuals that were using the Eden Prairie Community Center, as well as encouraging people to use the Center and its programs. City staff began to operate this on break-even basis only after expanding the program to allow customers to drop off their children while they were using the City park or going shopping, etc. Approximately 50% of the people that dropped their kids in Center Care were not using the Community Center. In 1990, the State informed the Community Center staff that as long as we were allowing people to drop their children at Center Care and then leave the building, the Center Care program would have to be licensed as a Day Care Center. The major criteria that changed the program was the requirement to have a minimum of two staff on duty at all times. Since this requirement was imposed, the Center Care program has consistently lost money and is projected to lose approximately $3,000 in 1991, unless changes are made. RECOMMENDATION: The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission have reviewed the information provided by Lyndell Frey, Recreation Supervisor in charge of this program, at their April 1st meeting and requested staff to provide a survey of users regarding increased fees, as well as an annual application fee. On May 6th, Mr. Frey returned with the completed survey and the Commission moved to recommend that effective June 1, 1991, a $25 application fee will be instituted, which allow Center Care users to pay a rate of $3/hour, while those not wishing to pay the application fee would pay an hourly rate of $3.50/hour, with a $.50 reduction for a second child. The Commission requested staff report back on October 1, 1991 to determine the impact of these fee increases, and determine whether or not the Commission could support continuation of this program for 1992. City staff requests the City Council to approve the recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. BL:mdd 9 / MEMORANDUM TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources FROM: Lyndell Frey, Recreation Supervisor DATE: March 27, 1991 SUBJECT: Status of Center Care Program In August of 1990 the State informed us that if the City were to provide a child care program for not only on site Community Center users but the general public as well, our child care service must be licensed. Because of much stricter paid staff requirements, health consultants and other State requirements Center Care has seen a consistent loss of income each month since August of 1990. This report is to inform the Parks Commission of the financial concern for Center Care and provides information on the current financial and user statistics for the Center Care program. A brief history of the Center Care's program since its first year of full operation may also help to inform the Parks Commission on its recommendation for continuation or discontinuation or modification of the program. In 1988 a Center Care Director was hired to run the Center Care program. Hours of operation were from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and served 2,100 users. Because of its long hours and 30 hour/week director the 1988 Center Care program lost $4,275. In 1989 major changes were implemented into the Center Care program. 1) Reduction of hours available, to be centered around our Aerobics and Aqua Aerobics Programs, cutting the hours back from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and making Center Care available from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.. 2) Increasing the fee 50 cents an hour for both members and non members. Current rates are $2.00/hr for members and $2.50/hr for non members. 3) Starting a parents advisory committee who organized a network of volunteer parents who helped staff Center Care during peak use times on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 4) Charging a $2.00 stipend for each individual who signed up for the Aerobics and Aqua Aerobics program. Due to the fact that these 4 items were addressed Center Care served 2,770 patrons and turned a $508 profit in 1989.

If the Parks Commission were to a l l o w t h i s p r o g r a m t o c o n t i n u e a s is, it would cost approximate l y $ 2 5 0 . 0 0 per month to subsidize this program for the approxima t e l y 1 3 0 u s e r s p e r m o n t h , w h i c h i s $3,000/year for 1,560 users. Thoughts to be Considered : 1) Should this program be sub s i d i z e d w i t h t h e i d e a t h a t i t i s not only a se,cvice to the g e n e r a l p u b l i c , b u t a l s o t o current members and users of no t o n l y t h e f a c i l i t y b u t a l s o various adult and youth programs . Status of Center Care Program March 27, 1991 Page 3 2) Because Center Care's hours 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 5:00 - 7:30 p.m. the Center Care room can still be used for other programs such as evening meetings, lifeguard training, weekend birthday parties, etc. However, if Center Care were to be closed entirely is there a better use for that meeting room? 3) Is it possible to cut back hours or wages of Center Care employees? Currently Center Care is required to have a minimum of two staff on duty at all times by the State of Minnesota. One of these two staff must have a minimum of a teaching degree or equivalent in hours in child care service. Our current Director is working at $6.50/hr with all other staff working at $4.50/hr. In 1989 when Center Care hours were cut, the reason they were adjusted to what they are is two fold: 1) allow people enough time to run errands outside the facility and 2) accommodate the people using the facility during heavy class usage times. 4) Raise Fee Structure: At $2.00/hr for members and $2.50 for non members our current rates are very compatible to what other Drop in Child Care Services provide. If you compare it to what other athletic facilities provide it is expensive. $1.00/child at Crosstown and $3.00 for a 2 1/2 hour stay at Flagship. Both facilities lose money on their child care programs yet provide the activity as a service to members only. 5) Increase Number of Users in Center Care: Starting in March of 1991 various youth lesson programs will be run 4 days per week for pre-school aged children, hopefully parents will not only take advantage of a 1 hour lesson program for their child, they will also use Center Care for that child's brother or sister while again the parent may choose to run errands or use the facility. For the months of March and April a Kids Korner Program on Wednesday and Thursday will run as well as a Youth Gymnastics program on Tuesdays and Fridays. As a pilot program we hope this will help to encourage a heavier Center Care usage. Staff recommends that the Center Care program continue to operate however, in 1988 when the Parks Commission allowed Center Care to continue it was under the pretense that it be encouraged to run at a break even venture. In 1989 Center Care operated under that obligation. In 1990 State requirements incurred a larger financial commitment in order for Center Care to operate with two paid staff persons at all times. Staff has tried in a number of ways to help offset the cost of Center Care but also realizes ( that Center Care cannot continue to be subsidized without approval and monies available to run such a program. Staff approximation would be $250/month or $3,000/year to serve approximately 1,560 users of this program. d/L 18563 Kristie Lane Eden Prairie, MN 55346 April 22, 1991 Mr. Bob Lambert Director of Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources City of Eden Prairie 7600 Executive Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Dear Mr. Lambert, I am writing you today out of my conce r n f o r t h e C e n t e r C a r e child care program at the Eden Prairie C o m m u n i t y C e n t e r . I h a v e spoken with Lyndell Frey several times r e c e n t l y a b o u t C e n t e r Care, and have received a copy of his M a r c h 2 7 , 1 9 9 1 m e m o r a n d u m to you concerning the status of Center C a r e . I h a v e a l s o completed the survey that he and Center C a r e d i r e c t o r L i z Thompson put together. I would like yo u t o k n o w h o w i m p o r t a n t Center Care is to me. I have two children, ages 10 and 7 yea r s o l d . S i n c e t h e y w e r e both in nursery school or in the public s c h o o l w h e n C e n t e r C a r e first opened, I have not been one of t h e h e a v y u s e r s t o d a t e . I have, however, had my 7 year old son i n C e n t e r C a r e o n s e v e r a l days when school is not in session, ye t I h a v e n e e d e d t o d o errands, or use the Community Center f a c i l i t i e s . This school year, with my youngest chil d i n s c h o o l f u l l d a y s , I became a member of the Community Center s o t h a t I c o u l d l a p s w i m in the mornings. My membership started l a s t f a l l , s h o r t l y a f t e r school began, and I have been at the C o m m u n i t y C e n t e r s w i m m i n g a t least four times a week since then. Re a l i s t i c a l l y , i t i s n o t possible for me to swim until I get my c h i l d r e n o n t h e s c h o o l b u s at about 9 a.m. Thus, I typically wind u p a t t h e C o m m u n i t y Center some time during the morning whe n C e n t e r C a r e i s i n operation. I am personally concerned about Center C a r e b e c a u s e w e w i l l b e having our third child this summer, an d I h a v e e v e r y i n t e n t i o n and desire to continue using the Commu n i t y C e n t e r p o o l f o r l a p swimming this coming fall. My intenti o n w o u l d b e t o h a v e m y n e w baby in Center Care while I swam. The C e n t e r C a r e p r o g r a m w o u l d truly be my only option for such frequ e n t , r e g u l a r u s e o f c h i l d care. In fact, I can honestly say that I w o u l d n o t b e a Community Center member if I could not t a k e m y b a b y t o C e n t e r Care and do lap swimming during the mor n i n g h o u r s . Currently, the fall, winter, and spring p o o l s c h e d u l e p u b l i s h e d in the Community Education Brochures in d i c a t e s t h a t m o r n i n g h o u r s between 9:30 and 11:30, Monday through F r i d a y , a r e d e s i g n a t e d a s Parent/Child Swim. My experience as on e w h o l a p s w i m s a t t h a t time is that the pool is under-used by p a r e n t / c h i l d s w i m m e r s . I 9(41,0 believe that the lifeguards on duty at this time would concur with this assessment. On the other hand, I have had several people express to me that they would like to lap swim during these morning hours, only they believe that they cannot do so because it is not so designated in the pool schedule. I expressed my concerns along these lines to both Tom Weko and Julia McFadden recently. I spoke with Julia on April 16, and she indicated that while heavy usage of the pool during these hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays is again planned for the upcoming fall (swimming lessons and aqua-aerobics), it may be possible to amend the schedule to include lap swim during these hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. My thoughts are that such a schedule change might promote higher usage of both the pool, and of Center Care, as parents could use this child care service while they swam laps. On the occasions that I have used Center Care for my 7 year old, I have always been pleased with the care given my son, the staff, and the facilities. I indicated in the Center Care survey that I would be willing to pay an annual registration fee, and increased hourly rates. I am looking forward to being able to use Center Care for our new baby. In closing, Mr. Lambert, I just wanted you to know that Center Care does fill a need and that it is certainly a very significant source of child care for me. I will not be able to continue with my current use of the Community Center, or with my membership, if Center Care is not available. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely, Seth Boedecker Dean open. Sincerely, (sx. Mary Cmpbell Bob Lambert - Director of Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources City of Eden Prairie 7600 Executive Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Mary Campbell 17879 Liv Lane Eden Prairie, MN 55346 April 29, 1991 Dear Bob: I urge you not to close Cen:er Care. Since its inception Center Care has been, and continues to be, a wonderful program both for children and for their parents. Center Care allows people who would otherwise be unable to, to use the Community Center. As new programs are developed, Center Care will help to insure their success. Should Center Ca:e close ncw, the Community Center will undoubtedly have no nursery for many years. Future start up costs will prevent reopening. The wrong decision now will mean lost memberships and poor response to new programs in the future. I believe other options, such as closing for the summer months or a separate Center Care membership, should be explored before such a wonderful facility is olosed. Although recent state regulations have made it all but impossible for Center Care to be a money producer, I feel it should be supported as a service to members of the community who currently have children as well as those who will have them in the future. We would appreciate your efforts in keeping this fine facility a CA RS CENTER CARE HOURS Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 5:00 - 7:30 p.m. RATES Member: $2.00 per hour $1.50 for each additional child Non-Member: $2.50 per hour $2.00 for each additional child AGE: 6 weeks - School Age CAPACITY: 14 Children MINIMUM STAY: 1 Hour MAXIMUM STAY: 3-1/2 hours EDEN PRAIRIE COMMUNITY CENTER CHILD CARE PROGRAM 16700 Valley View Road Eden Prairie, MN 55346 Phone: 937-8727 #.1 The Eden Prairie Community Center is operating a licensed drop-in day care program.

City of Eden Prairie -4UNITY CENTER ,0 Valley View Road • Eden Prairie, MN 55346-3677 • Telephone (612) 937-8727 Dear Center Care Parents, At the April 1st Parks Commission meeting, the Parks Commi s s i o n required Center Care staff to send out a survey in regar d s t o Center Care usage.

The results are as follows: When asked what brings you to the Eden Prairie Community Center, four people said adult classes, twelve people said child classes, seventeen people said Center Care, nine people said exercise and one person said work. When asked what other child care services they use five said neighborhood co-op, seventeen said a relative or friend and nine said they use other child care centers. Four people said they use other child care centers for convenience. Two said because of location, four said because of no reservation and seven said because the availability of afternoon hours. The top three qualities people said they look for in a center were staff, location and cleanliness. When asked if they would pay a twenty-five dollar annual registration fee fourteen said they would and eleven said they would not pay it. If we went to a new rate format of $3.00 an hour for Center Care Club users and $3.50 for non-club members, twenty people said they would still use Center Care and five said they would not because it was too costly. The twenty-six families who felt that their experiences at Center Care have been average or above average. When asked how often they use Center Care fourteen people said on average twice a week, eight people said twice a month and three people said between 2-6 times a year. When asked why they feel Center Care should continue the number one reason was convenience. Fifteen people said the location was very convenient and the convenience of dropping their child off and taking a class or watching a sibling take a class. Five people felt as a community service. Center Care Survey Results April 26, 1991 Page 2 Additional comments and suggestions were: ... The on-site child care is a necessary service for those families who might not be able to afford membership fees at private recreational facilities. / ... Center Care is one of those services available in Eden Prairie that makes it feel like an exceptional place to live. / ... Center Care fills a gap in local child care. // ... It is necessary for my use of the Community Center. /////// ... I only wish there were afternoon hours available also. ... Have available more hours during the winter and less during the summer. If ... Advertise the Center Care more. /// ... This is a wonderful service for "at-home" mothers, really would be a loss to the users. / ... Center Care is extremely useful when I come to exercise, but the problem of late has been that I couldn't bring my infant there because the 2 infant maximum was already reached. ... If you opened in the afternoon during the summer, I think you'd get a lot of use. / ... It is very convenient to me when I use the weight room or walk the lake. I love it Please keep it going. ... Its a wonderful care facility - clean, bright, great care. I will not use any other facility for my infant and my 5 . year old loves the small size. ... What about selling coupon books or a punch card top acquire more revenue and establish user loyalty (commitment to use) ... Should coordinate Center Care hours with lap swim. ... Would like night hours, but to leave the building. ... Used Center Care once a week for 3-4 months when we were building our new home. ... It was a terrific option to have a safe place that could care for infants. Many places won't take children until they reach 18 months. Recreation Supervisor's Comments on Center Care Survey According to Survey Results questions 6 and 7 Center Care could save an additional $120.00/month by #1) charging a $25.00 Center Care Membership Club fee to 15 families willing at this time to pay such a fee and #2) increase hourly rates 4.50/hr. across the board. Current projections for the first 4 months is Center Care is losing approximately $250.00/month. If the two changes were implemented in the above paragraph Center Care would still lose approximately $130.00/month or approximately $1560 per year. It is also important to look at June - mid Sept. which is traditionally the slowest usage time for Center Care, because of staffing requirements larger losses may occur. Because of this the Parks Commission may look at the option of closing Center Care completely during the summer months. Through April 28th Center Care has served 340 total users representing 111 children and 82 families. Projected figures are Center Care would serve approximately 1560 users representing approximately 200 children and approximately 120 families. Also important to note are the number of "regular" Community Center users both members and non members who repeatedly use the Center Care service. Strictly Commentary This program provides more than simply a baby sitting service. I feel it is a program we provide for not only Community Center users but the community at large. We are very fortunate to have a qualified director such as Liz Thompson and the staff and programs she provides are a positive contribution to the youth of • our community. crgo EDEN PRAIRIE COMMUNITY CENT E R - C H I L D C A R E C E N T E R YEAR TO DATE ACTIVITY BY FA M I L Y JAN FEB MAR APR I ABRAHAM 2 ABRAHAM 3 AMAT 4 ASBY 5 BERGER 6 BLOCK 7 BOLLIG 8 BOLLIG BOLLIG 10 BOWLSBY 11 BOWLSBY 12 HORGAN 13 HORGAN 14 BOYCE 15 BRUBERG 16 BRUBERG 17 CAMPBELL 18 CAMPBELL 19 CHRENKA 20 CONRAD 21 CONRAD 22 CZEVNIECKI 23 DAHL 24 DEAM 25 DORAN 26 DUERKSEN 27 DUERKSEN 28 ECKLUND 29 EVENSON 30 FAGERHAUG 31 FALKINGHAM 32 FALKINGHAM 33 FLORENZANO 34 FLORENZANO 35 FOTH 36 FOTH 37 FREY 38 FREY 39 FREY 40 SERFS 41 GOON 42 HEDIN 43 HENEBRY 44 HILGEMAN 45 HUDSPETH 46 JOHNSON 47 JEFFERSON 48 KACZMAREK 49 KACZMAREK 50 KASEL 51 KAUFMAN 52 KAUFMAN 53 KOEHLER 54 KOO 55 KORWES 56 KREUTSBERG 57 LANEI 58 LARSON 59 LEHRKE 60 LEONE 61 LEONE 62 LEWIS 63 LEWIS 64 LUKER 65 MARSHALL 66 MARSHALL 67 MARTINEZ 68 MARTINEZ 69 MATHIEU 70 MEYER 71 MICHAILIS ANDY 2 BETH ANN 2 MICHAEL JILL 2 CAROL DONNA 6 KELLY KEVIN PETER JAYSON JEFFREY BRAD HEATHER SHANNON 1 ERIN LISA MARTIE 8 ROSE ALEXANDER ERIN STEPHEN 7 NIKOLAS CHRIS JORDAN VANESSA ADAM ANNE MARIE ELENA ABBY DANIEL AMY ERIK ERIC KEVIN 4 JUSTIN LINDSEY EVAN KRISTEN MEGAN RYAN ALICIA TRENT SEAN JULIA 2 ANDREW JUSTIN NICHOLAS 1 LAURA 1 MICHAEL 1 ERICA RACHEL SARAH BRETT HILARY 4 JEREMY BRENNAN TYLER KRISTINA NATHAN ELISE JENNIFER KATE SAM JEFFREY CASSANDRA PHILLIP 1 DAVID MARIELLE CATHERINE MELANIE 1 ANDREW 2 2 2 1 3 3* 4* 2 2 3 1* 2 1* 2 1* 2 1* 1* 1* 4 11 8 2* 1 2 7 5 2* 1* 1* 1* 1 1* 1* 3* 1 8 3 1* 2* 1* 3 2* 2 3 2 2 4 1 1* 2 1 EDEN PRAIRIE COMMUNITY CENTER - CHILD CARE CENTER YEAR TO DATE ACTIVITY BY FAMILY JAN FEB MAR APR 72 MOSMAN LAUREN 1 73 MUENCH ETHAN 74 MURRAY ELISABETH 1 75 NELSON AUSTIN 1 76 NEUMAN ANDREW 77 NEUMAN JESSICA 78 OLZUSK BETH 1 79 OLZUSK KIM 1 80 ORRIS JACOB 4 81 ORRIS JUSTIN 4 82 PEZON ABBIE 1 83 POTTHFF WILL 84 PRIDEAUX DEVON 85 REIERSON BRAD 1 86 ROBERTS NATALIE 87 RYDEN ANNALYSE 1 88 SAYLOR ASHLEY 89 SHEEHAN ANDREW 6 90 SHEEHAN JAMES 8 91 SHIMOTA ZACH 1 92 SIERING DANNY 93 SIERING PATRICK 94 SPEAK MICHAELA 95 STENSON MARSHALL 96 TINUCCI MATT 97 TINUCCI PATRICK 4 98 TOMLINSON JEFFREY 99 TOWNSEND JACOB 2 100 TOWNSEND SARAH 2 101 WEBER ELLIE 2 102 WEBER ETHAN 5 103 WEBER LAURA 9 104 WEBSTER SCOTT 105 WHITCOMB ROBERT 1 106 WHITTIER STEPHEN 2 107 WIAT ALLISON 108 WIAT ASHLEY 109 WOCHNICK STEFANIE 110 YOUNGS MICHAEL 111 YOUNGS RACHAEL 2* 5 3 2 1 1* 2 1* 1* 3 1 3 8 6 1 4 6 5 3* 2 4 3* 2 3 2* 2 1 1* 5 2 1* 4 2 1 2 5 5 5 4 6 3 2* 2 1 1 1* 1* 1* 1* 1* * NEW USER TOTAL 106 116 118 123 UNIQUE 39 46 61 58 NEW 20 31 21 EDEN PRAIRIE COMMUNITY CENTER - CHILD CARE CENTER YEAR TO DATE ACTIVITY MORNING EVENING MEMBER NONMEMBER TOTAL AM MEMBER NONMEMBER TOTAL PM TOTAL DAY MONTH $ I $ I 1 $ I $ I $ I $ n••n••n• WOO n ..

MOTION: Kuechenmeister moved to recommend approval of Fairfield per staff recommendation. Lynch seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. V. OLD BUSINESS A. Review of Center Care Programs Refer to memo dated March 27, 1991 from Lyndell Frey, Recreation Supervisor. Lambert said that center care at the Community Center was started in 1989 when there were numerous requests for this type of service. The program was approved provided that it was run on a breakeven basis. Operating costs could not be met by providing care for members only so non-members were also accepted for the program. This reduced the loss in revenue; however, the State then required that the program be licensed and staff requirements of no volunteer help. Frey added that the State required a maximum stay of three hours and that parents had to remain on-site, in addition to the fact that volunteers could no longer be used. The program has been losing money on a consistent basis since that time. Kuechenmeister asked if the State would grant a variance to the two person staffing minimum. Frey said no. Richard asked if the fee for the service could be raised. Frey said that other services in the area range from 82.50 to $3.25 per hour. He added that one in three using the service are members of the Community Center. Lambert said that at the time the program was started, the closest drop-off service was at Southdale. Now there are services of this type in Eden Prairie and he questions whether the taxpayers should be required to subsidize a babysitting service for other people. The program was started because of the requests from members and the facility was not designed for this purpose. APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. April 1, 1991 -4- Lynch suggested that an application charge be considered to raise funds. This would be charged to each user Ft the beginning of the year to reserve their space. Karpinko suggested that those using the service on a regular basis could be charged an application fee and drop-offs could be charged a higher hourly rate. Lambert suggested an annual registration charge for non-members and a flat fee for all users. Bowman added that with the number of users we are looking at, an application fee would not cover the costs to run the program. Vanderploeg asked if the State would be satisfied with an in-house program only. Frey said yes, but losses would be greater. Vanderploeg suggested that a survey of users be done asking if they would still use the Community Center facilities if the program was discontinued or would they be able to find childcare nearby. Karpinko said he feels we need to go back and find out exactly how many different users they are and base a decision on that. Vanderploeg asked if this room is used only for childcare. Frey said that this is also a meeting room and is used from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Lambert suggested that the number of users be tabulated and a survey be sent out to the users with the results to be discussed at the May Commission meeting. Lynch asked if the City will be ready to respond that the program may be discontinued. Lambert said he feels this should be put on the survey as a possibility. Bowman asked if the room has ever been filled to capacity for the program. Frey said it has not been filled often. q7 I APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. April 1, 1991 -5- Bowman suggested a monthly pass with reduced rates to promote the program. This would provide more money up front and promote usage of the program. Frey said they have had a pass program in the past, but users seemed to use the program in cycles and there were problems with getting the cards punched, etc. MOTION: Karpinko moved to survey the users and report back to the Commission at the May meeting. Lynch amended the motion to add that data on users be analyzed prior to the survey being submitted to the Commission. Bowman seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. B. Ordinance #11-91 Dumping Household Refuse in Public Trash Receptacles Refer to memo dated March 22, 1991 from Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. This is an information item only. VI. NEW BUSINESS A. Outdoor Center Rental Rates Refer to memo dated March 18, 1991 from Rod MacRae, Outdoor Center Coordinator. Lambert said that the professional category was dropped because the events are hosted by a parks and recreation person and are covered by the community or staff category. A commercial use category was added to be consistent with other facilities. The center cannot be used by private individuals to make money. Frey added that no one can reserve the center until the season when it will be used. Lambert said that a $25 minimum charge has also been added to meet our minimum cost to open and close the building. MOTION: Vanderploeg moved to recommend adopting the Outdoor Center rates per staff recommendation. Lynch seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. UNAPPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. May 6, 1991 -11- V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS None VI. OLD BUSINESS A. Center Care Program Refer to memo dated March 27, 1991 from Lyndell Frey, Recreation Supervisor. Frey said that the center care user survey information was included in the packets. As of April 30, 26 out of 65 families responded to the survey. Frey added that 28 new families used the program in April. Currently center care is losing approximately $250.00 per month. By increasing the hourly rates and charging an annual fee, the center will still lose about $130.00 per month. Caroline Headseth said that she would not be taking classes at the Community Center without center care for her two children. She asked if the program is being run as a service or as a business to make money. Lambert said that center care was started as a service to be run on a break-even basis. New rules instituted by the State have made this more difficult. Mary Campbell commented that center care will probably never break even and will always be inconsistent. Frey said that the main problem has been the new rules which require two people to be present at all times. Kuechenmeister asked if the State will give on the rules in this case. Frey said no. Richard asked if staff on duty could also be doing other things related to parks and recreation. Frey said they are already trying to do this. Richard said that staff's main concern is subsidizing center care when there are other needs within the City. Joyer asked if most users are involved in activities at the Community Center. Frey said it is about 50- 50. UNAPPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. May 6, 1991 -12- Headseth said she does not believe the public is aware of center care and feels that it should be advertised more. MOTION: Lynch moved to recommend that effective June 1, a $25.00 application fee will be instituted for members of the Commmunity Center with a rate of $3.00 per hour. For those not wishing to pay the application fee, the hourly rate will be $3.50 per hour with a 50C reduction for a second child. Staff will continue to monitor the program and report back to the Commission on October 1. Kuechenmeister seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Proposal for Repair of Barn on the Riley-Jacques Homestead Refer to memo dated April 29, 1991 from Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources. Lambert said that Mrs. Jacques has offered to donate $5000 to the City toward repair of the barn if the work is done in 1991. Total cost of repairs would be $24,874. Staff suggests using cash park fees for this repair. Lambert added that it is not known whether other bids will be available for the barn restoration. Richard said he spoke to Mrs. Jacques today and she was concerned that the barn remain part of this historic site. Ha added that more money may be required in the future to make the structure useable for programs. Lambert said that City staff would paint the barn at a cost of approximately $2000 after the restoration work is completed. Lynch asked if there is any protection against vandalism in these types of City buildings. Lambert said that there is an alarm system at CumminsGrill house and this barn would most likely have a simple alarm system if it was used for storage.

A. Price Agency and Horizon Agency. Also included is a tabulation of the recommended quotations from each of the respective agencies. With respect to the quotations themselves. I recommend acceptance of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, LMCIT Workers' Compensation Program, St. Paul Companies' Liquor Liability Program, and the United Fire & Casualty Bond through the J. A. Price Agency. Further, I recommend acceptance of the Travelers' Boiler and Machinery Program through the Horizon Agency. You will also note that the Horizon Agency submitted both a property and inland marine quotation. These quotations are not recommended because the LMCIT does not allow the splitting : of coverages amongthevarious insurance carriers. The LMCIT program is a total package program. The overall result of this year's bid process is a reduction in cost of $14,578 from last year, while at the same time increasing limits and forms of coverage. If you have any questions or would like me present at the Council meeting while considering these quotations, please let me know. Sincerely, CORPORATE RISK MANAGERS, INC. 6 64i Brian G.

CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION #91-8I RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF HI WAY 494 RACQUET CLUB FOR NORTHWEST RACQUET SWIM AND HEALTH CLUB BE IT RESOLVED, by the Eden Prairie City Council as follows: That the preliminary plat of Hiway 494 Racquet Club for Northwest Racquet Swim and Health Club, dated May 15, 1991, consisting of 19.53 acres into one lot and three outlots for construction of a parking lot and tennis court structures on the south side of the property, a copy of which is on file at the City Hall, is found to be in conformance with the provisions of the Eden Prairie Zoning and Platting ordinances, and amendments thereto, and is herein approved. ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on the 21st day of May, 1991. Douglas B. Tenpas, Mayor ATTEST: John D. Franc, City Clerk /991 STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission Donald R. Uram, Planner Chris Enger, Director of Planning April 5, 1991 Hiway 494/Crosstown Racquet, Swim and Health Club East of Baker Road, north of Holasek Lane Northwest Racquet, Swim and Health Clubs, Inc. 1. Zoning District Change from Rural to Community Commercial on 2.7 acres. 2. Site Plan Review on 19.53 acres. 3. Preliminary Plat of 19.53 acres into one lot and three outlots for construction of a parking lot and tennis court structures. FROM: THROUGH: DATE: SUBJECT: LOCATION: APPLICANT/ FEE OWNER: REQUEST: Background This item was previously reviewed in 1989 by the Planning Commission and City Council. At that time, a 29,000 square foot building expansion and a three level parking ramp was approved on the north side of the existing tennis club to satisfy the parking requirements. As part of the original approval, a temporary parking lot was constructed on the south side of the building for overflow parking until the ramp was built. In addition, the proponent agreed to build four tennis courts and dedicate 2.21 acres to the City for park land. Recently, the tennis club purchased the remainder of the Holasek property (4.2 acres) and is proposing to construct surface 1 Staff Report Hiway 494/Crosstown Racquet, Swim and Health Club April 5, 1991 parking on this property instead of building the parking rarnp. The current request is for a preliminary plat, site plan review and zoning district change to allow for the construction of a 297 car parking lot. The tennis court construction and park land dedication previously agreed to in the July 17, 1990 Developer's Agreement will still occur. Site Plan/Preliminary Plat The preliminary plat depicts one lot and three outlots. The proposed lot will be the location of the tennis club and parking areas, while the outlots will be for Holasek Hill Park, the water tower and the storm sewer pond located next to Baker Road. The original site plan consisted of 9.73 acres. In 1988, the proponent purchased 2.21 acres from Holasek and the remaining 4.2 acres in 1990. Combined with the original lot, the tennis club will own a total of 16.14 acres. Of this total, 3.99 acres will be dedicated to the City. The current proposal is to eliminate the parking ramp on the north side of the building and to provide surface parking on the property previously owned by Holasek. Besides the 360 parking stalls that currently exist, an additional 297 parking stalls will be constructed on the south side for a total of 657. A building expansion is not proposed at this time. The proponent will construct four tennis courts on the property next to Holasek Lane and will dedicate 3.99 acres to the City. When combined with the water tower property the City would own a total of 5.69 acres. In return for the land dedication and tennis court construction, the City will convey to the tennis club the 30 foot strip of land that provides access to the water tower so both parcels can be combined. A cross-access easement will be required over the parking lot to provide access for City vehicles to the water tower. In addition, a cross-parking easement is required over the parking spaces next to the tennis courts for public use. Acces$ Access to the site is provided by a driveway off Baker Road that provides service to the temporary parking areas and to the water tower and a new driveway proposed on Pinnacle Drive. Hennepin County is requiring that the existing driveway off Baker Road be closed with the development of this proposal (see attached letter). Because of this, all traffic must take access from Pinnacle Drive. Prior to Council review, all plans must be revised to reflect the closing of the driveway off Baker Road. 2 Staff Report Hiway 494/Crosstown Racquet, Swim and Health Club April 5, 1991 farking In summary, the 1988 traffic study stated that: 1. Future peak parking demand totals approximately 555 spaces. This includes the parking requirements for the 29,000 square foot building expansion. 2. The maximum practical capacity of the club results in a parking demand of 780 spaces. 3. On site parking supply needs to be increased to accommodate 585 vehicles in conjunction with the proposed club expansion and should have provision for future increase to approximately 820 spaces. To accomplish this, the study recommended that the developer construct a three-level parking ramp on the west portion of the north parking lot to accommodate approximately 620 total on site parking spaces. The current plans indicate the construction of 297 surface parking stalls on the south side of the building for a total of 657. This satisfies the original requirement of the traffic study for a total of 620 parking spaces. This figure included an additional 75 parking spaces that were required for the 29,000 square foot building addition. If the building addition is never constructed, the total number of parking spaces may be reduced accordingly. If additional parking spaces are required, a one level parking structure could be constructed on either the north or south side of the building. Staff recommends that it be constructed on the north side of the building to lessen the impact on the residential areas to the south and west. Grading/Utilities Areas to be graded with this project include the location of temporary parking lot, the level area before the trees on the Holasek property, and the holding pond next to Baker Road. No significant trees will be lost. The majority of the grading involves berming of the parking area along the west property line. This would include fill amounts of up to 16 feet. Other grading work involves the construction of the holding pond which includes a cut of approximately 12 feet. A 5 foot high keystone retaining wall is proposed next to Holasek Lane. Retaining wall details must be submitted prior to Council review. A storm sewer system will be the only utilities constructed as part of the project (see Engineering memo). Staff Report Hiway 494/Crosstown Racquet, Swim and Health Club April 5, 1991 Landscaping The landscape requirement for this project is based on the screening of the parking areas only. The landscape plan depicts approximately 196 caliper inches of plant material around the perimeter of the project. An irrigation system is planned. The proponent shall revise the landscape plan to indicate correct numbers and sizes of the plant material proposed on the plans. Pedestrian Systems A five foot concrete sidewalk will be installed along Pinnacle Drive to provide access from Baker Road to the tennis courts. Signate Informational signage for parking identification is the only sign proposed for this project. A detailed signage plan consistent with City Code must be submitted prior to Council review. The City will install a Holasek Hill Park sign on the property next to the tennis courts. Lighting The lighting plan indicates eight, 25 foot light poles within the parking lot and two, 25 foot light poles at the entrance drives. The proponent is also proposing 12 bollards at the entrances. With the implementation of this plan, the existing flood lights on the south side of the building shall be removed. Staff Recommendations Staff recommends approval of the requests of the Northwest Racquet Swim and Health Club, Inc. for Zoning District Change from Rural to Community Commercial on 2.7 acres, Site Plan Review on 19.53 acres and Preliminary Plat of 19.53 acres into one lot and three outlots for construction of a 297 car parking lot and tennis court structures based on plans dated March 15, and March 20, 1991, and Staff Report dated April 5, 1991, subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall: A.

We reviewed the above plat and have the following comments: - The existing right of way along CSAH 62 and CSAH 60 is adequate. Hennepin County does not require any additional right of way at this time. - As shown on the preliminary plat, Hennepin County will not permit any access from the plat to CSAH 62. - Access from the plat to CSAH 60 must be limited to the existing driveway located approximately 465 feet south of CSAH 62 and to existing Pinnacle Drive. The driveway located approximately 100 feet north of Pinnacle Drive must be removed and the area within County right of way restored. Relocating this southerly access to Pinnacle Drive helps prevent traffic conflict and congestion along CSAH 60. A well designed driveway off Pinnacle Drive will provide more than adequate access for the southern portion of the plat and for the City's water tower on Outlot A. The developer must acquire an approved entrance permit before beginning any access construction, revision, or restoration. Contact Dave Zetterstrom at 930-2548 for information and for permit forms . The landscape, plan dated February 8, 1991. shows placement of a tree and shrubs within County right of way north of Pinnacle Drive. Hennepin County will not permit this, and the developer must change the plans accordingly.

That the PUD Concept Amendment meets the recommendations of the Planning Commission dated May 13, 1991. ADOPTED by the City Council of Eden Prairie this 21st day of May, 1991. Douglas B. Tenpas, Mayor ATTEST: John D. Franc, City Clerk 1011 STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission Michael D. Franzen, Senior Planner Chris Enger, Director of Planning May 10, 1991 Anagram International Southeast comer of Valley View Road and Executive Drive Anagram International Equitable Life Insurance Company 1. Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 15.67 acres. 2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 15.67 acres. 3. Zoning District Amendment within the 1-2 Zoning District on 15.67 acres. 4. Site Plan Review on 15.67 acres. 5. Preliminary Plat of 15.67 acres to four lots. FROM: THROUGH: DATE: SUBJECT: LOCATION: APPLICANT: FEE OWNER: REQUEST: BACKGROUND The Comprehensive Guide Plan depicts this site as an industrial land use. Surrounding land uses are Medium Density Residential to the north across Valley View Road; Office to the east and south of the site; and Industrial to the west. This site is part of a previously approved Planned Unit Development Concept plan for a mixture of office and industrial uses on approximately 100 acres of land. The PUD depicted this site as an industrial land use. In 1987, the City approved the Edenvale Executive Center Phase Il for three one- story buildings totalling 172,907 square feet Anagram Staff Report Page Two of building. The uses proposed were approximately 60% office and 40% industrial. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AMENDMENT Anagram International is requesting approval of two alternative amendments to the existi n g P U D . Anagram is requesting approval of the Anagram building of approximately 115,000 sq u a r e f e e t with expansion to 199,000 square feet. This plan also includes an additional lot (o w n e d b y Equitable Life Insurance Company) which would be a future industrial use. The alter n a t i v e i s Phase I Anagram (no expansion) and three lots meeting City code requirements. SITE PLAN The site plan depicts the construction of three phases. Phase I is a one-story building c o n s i s t i n g of 115,560 square feet on 8.13 acres at a .33 base area ratio. If Anagram proceeds to P h a s e I I and III, the base area ratio would increase to .34. The Industrial zoning district perm i t s u p t o a .30 base area ratio. Reasons for considering the waiver to allow a higher base area r a t i o a r e : 1. The building is set back at 80 feet. This is 30 feet farther back than the Code wou l d permit as a minimum setback. 2. Provision of a large landscaped entry feature (private/public park) which is not require d by City code. 3. Extensive use of berming and landscaping which downplays the building height an d building mass. The landscape plan is similar to the Flagship Athletic Club. 4. A 95' setback to parking from Valley View Road (Code requires a minimum of 50 feet) helps provide a better visual transition to the residential areas across Valley View Road. 5. Parking is provided according to City Code. 6. Parking and loading areas are screened according to Code. PARKING Parking requirements for the Anagram proposal for all phases would be a total of 391 p a r k i n g spaces. The site plan depicts a total of 391 spaces. The minimum setback requir e m e n t t o parking along Executive Drive is 50 feet. Anagram is requesting a waiver through th e P U D t o permit a 371/2 setback. The setback waiver is reasonable since parking can be screened a n d m o r e green above the Code is provided on the adjoining street (37 1/2 feet versus 25 feet re q u i r e d ) . Anagram Staff Report Page Three ARCHITECTURE There are two architectural requirements that impact the colors and exterior materials used on this building. One is the City Code requirement which would allow the use of decorative concrete. The other is a PUD design framework for brick, glass, stone or an equivalent. The building, as proposed, is 69% aggregate panel, 23% brick, glass or equivalent, and 8% dryvit. The building, as proposed, can be considered compatible with the PUD based on the following: 1. The color selection is similar to the PUD. Red, blue, green, yellow and grey are found on other buildings within the Edenvale PUD. 2. Brick is used as an architectural feature which relates to the use of brick on other buildings across the street. 3. The building design is not typical for an industrial building. Use of glass, balconies, building jogs, brick detailing and special color banding add interest to the building, making it less industrial looking. 4. The aggregate panel and dryvit are durable materials that are better in grade than typical concrete panels, but not considered in City Code to be equivalent to brick, but since this is not a requirement of the industrial districts more flexibility may be allowed in this P.U.D.. A 50% credit could be given since this site is part of a PUD. This would make the brick, glass or equivalent materials total about 70% which would be consistent with other buildings in the area. 5. The extensive use of berming, increased setbacks, and heavy landscaping comparable to the Flagship Athletic Club help soften the view of the use of aggregate panel. MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SCREENING The City Code requires that mechanical equipment be screened with a metal panel of materials and colors to match the building. The mechanical unit plan indicates a total of 20 mechanical units located on top of the Phase I. Screening is proposed to be either a pre-finished metal panel or by means of location supported by sight lines. Experience has shown that screening of mechanical units cannot rely on sight lines. The visibility of mechanical equipment can only be determined after the units are placed on top of the building. It is recommended that the mechanical units be grouped in as close of a location as possible and screened with a continuous metal panel around the exterior of the area. If this is not possible, an alternative would be to provide an architectural parapet wall around the building's exterior or screen each individual unit. Anagram Staff Report Page Four LANDSCAPING Phase I landscaping requirements are 664" based on building square footage and 88" of tree replacement for a total of 752". Credit is given to tree plantings along Valley View Road which reduces the tree requirement to 676". The landscape plan shows 654". There is room to provide the required 22 additional inches as landscaping can be extended further north along Executive Drive. This would provide for a landscaped area along the site perimeter. Phase II and Ill landscaping requirements are 507". There is some room on site to plant additional trees; however, the majority of the plant material will have to be located along the berm along Valley View Road, (this will provide a better transition to the residential areas to the north), and boulevard tree plantings on private property throughout the balance of the PUD. GRADING The site has been previously graded. Grading is intended to provide a level building pad for building and parking. Berming is proposed to screen the parking and loading areas. The berm along the northeast side of the building should be raised an additional 3-5' to better screen the loading area. UTILITIES There is existing sewer, water and storm sewer in Executive Drive. PRELIMINARY PLAT The property is currently zoned 1-2 Park. The preliminary plat request is for four industrial lots. All lots meet City Code requirements. If Anagram proceeds to Phases II and III, replatting to combine lots will be required. If not, it will be required that detailed plans be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to the issuance of building permits. NOISE Staff visited Anagram International in Edina and observed no excessive noise at the building front or at the exterior of the property along the adjoining street. However, there was considerable noise emitted through the vents at the rear of the building. In the final design of the building, these air vents should be directed away from residential areas. SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS There is an existing 5' wide concrete sidewalk along Executive Drive and the south side of Equitable Drive. There are sidewalk connections from the existing building to this sidewalk Anagram Staff Report Page Five system. In addition, there will be an 8' wide bituminous trail along Purgatory Creek as part of the overall approved trail system for the 100 acre PUD. LIGHTING Lighting for this project should be of similar design and type to the existing lights throughout the PUD. This would be a 20' high, downcast, cutoff luminar (shoebox) design. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS The staff would recommend approval of the request for PUD Concept Amendment on 15.5 acres, PUD District Review on 15.5 acres, Zoning District Amendment in the 1-2 Park District on 15.5 acres, Site Plan Review on 15.5 acres and Preliminary Plat of 15.5 acres into 4 lots based on plans dated May 2, 1991, subject to the recommendations of the staff report dated May 10, 1991, and subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall modify the landscaping plan to provide an additional 22 caliper inches. This could be located by extending the landscaping along the east side of Executive Drive north to Valley View Road. Raise the loading area berm 3-5 feet. 2. Prior to final plat approval, proponent shall: A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, erosion control and utility plans for review by the City Engineer. B. Submit detailed storm water runoff and erosion control plans for review by the Watershed District. 3. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall: A. Provide samples of exterior materials, mechanical equipment screening, and lighting standards for review. B. Provide final plans for review by the Fire Marshal. C. Include provisions in the building plans for directing air vents away from the residential areas across Valley View Road. 4. Planned Unit Development waivers would be granted for base area ratio from .30 to .34, and a front yard setback waiver to parking from 50 feet to 371/2 feet. 5. The public, private plaza is intended to allow use by the general public for sitting and Anagram Staff Report Page Six picnicing. The City and Anagram must further define the specifics of what elements will be in the plaza and necessary easements to be granted for public use. 6. If Anagram proceeds to Phases II and III replatting to eliminate lot lines will be necessary. 7. If Anagram does not proceed to Phases II and III zoning and site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council will be required for the individual industrial lots. 10 n MAY 21.1991 14837 JIM BERGSTROM -ADVANCE FOR CONFERENCE EXPENSES-POLICE 115.00 DEPT 14838 HOPKINS POSTMASTER POSTAGE-COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER 1808_ 14839 BRINGERS EXPENSES-CITY COUNCIL 62.: 14840 BRINGERS EXPENSES-POLICE DEPT 88.70 14841 BIRTCHER WELSH MAY 91 RENT-CITY HALL 2171)7.14 14842 COMMISSIONER OF FINANCE -DEPOSIT -MHFA MINNESOTA CITIES 6442.97 PARTICIPATION PROGRAM 14843 ANCHOR PAPER COMPANY -COLORED COPY PAPER-RECREATION 448.96 ADMINISTRATION 14844 SUPPLEES 7 HI ENTER INC MAY 91 RENT-LIQUOR STORE 5149.52 14845 VOID OUT CHECK 0.00 14846 AT&T CONSUMER PRODUCTS DIV SERVICE 17.85 14847 AT&T SERVICE 380.30 14848 AT&T SERVICE 130.60 14849 MINNEGASCO SERVICE 8108.44 14850 NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY SERVICE 97.14 14851 NORTHERN STATES POWER CO SERVICE 1037.06 14852 U S WEST COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE 4864.29 14853 CROW WING COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES CHILD SUPPORT DEDUCTION 155.00 14854 GREAT WEST LIFE ASSURANCE CO PAYROLL 4/19/91 6284.00 14855 HENN CTY SUPPORT & COLLECTION SER CHILD SUPPORT DEDUCTION 194.76 14856 ICMA RETIREMENT TRUST-457 PAYROLL 4/19/91 2068.72 14857 INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE PAYROLL 4/19/91 32.00 14858 MEDCENTERS HEALTH PLAN INC MAY 91 HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM 17675.70 14859 MN TEAMSTERS CREDIT UNION PAYROLL 4/19/91 25.00 14860 MINNESOTA UC FUND 1ST QUARTER 91 UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION 6909.05 14861 NORWEST BANK HOPKINS PAYROLLS 4/5/91 & 4/19/91 1140.00 14862 PHYSICIANS HEALTH PLAN OF MN MAY 91 HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM 32670.' 14863 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR-PERA PAYROLL 4/19/91 33028: 14864 UNITED WAY PAYROLL 4/19/91 218.25 14865 GENUINE PARTS COMPANY -HITCH PARTS/BRAKE CABLES/U -JOINTS/TOOL 3729.92 -BOX/OIL SEALS/SEAT COVERS/MIRRORS/FILTERS/ -RELECTORS/LAMPSACEEL CYLINDERS/HORNS/ -ANTENNAS/BEARINGS/SPLASH GUARDS/GASKETS/ -BOLTS-UTILITIES DIVISION/FACILITIES DEPT/ PARK MAINTENANCE/EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 14866 DELEGARD TOOL CO -CABLE TIES/REELS/SOCKETS/MULTIMETER/HAND 465.70 -JACK-STREET MAINT/EQUIPMENT MAINT/ COMMUNITY CENTER 14867 MICHAEL OTOOLE ENTERPRISES -COMMISSIONER FEE-LARKSPUR LANE TRAIL 820.50 EASEMENT CONDEMNATION 14868 TERRENCE M JOHNSON MAI SRA -COMMISSIONER FEE-LARKSPUR LANE TRAIL 823.86 EASEMENT CONDEMNATION 14869 MAllITELLI & ASSOCIATES PA -COMMISSIONER FEES-LARKSPUR LANE TRAIL 826.20 EASEMENT CONDEMNATION 14870 RUSSELL SMITH ASSOCIATES INC -SERVICE-LARKSPUR LANE TRAIL EASEMENT 650.00 CONDEMNATION 14871 HENNEPIN COUNTY DISTRICT COURT -FINAL SETTLEMENT-PRESERVE TRAIL 500.00 CONDEMNATION 14872 LMC HOUSING BUREAU CONFERENCE-CITY COUNCIL 429.00 14873 LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES CONFERENCE-CITY COUNCIL 330.00 14874 PETTY CASH-COMMUNITY CENTER EXPENSES-COMMUNITY CENTER 26.15 14875 PETTY CASH EXPENSES-CITY HALL 94." 14876 STATE OF MINNESOTA BIKE REGISTRATIONS 85 15977155
