Residential Appraising . A. To become more efficient and productive in our residential appraising we annually review our system and make changes. For 1984 assessment we will be streamlining the system in evaluating what we classify as extras, i. e. built in range and oven, garbage compactors and etc. A recent change has been to include new construction appraisals along with the existing property appraisals in areas that require physical re-evaluation. This saves time from the standpoint of picking up the new construction by the appraisers not making a separate trip for the new construction. B. The appraisers fill out a production slip to the City Assessor on a bi - weekly basis to enable him to monitor individual production. In addition this individual report gives the City Assessor a total count of work completed and progress toward our assessment completion date. C. All appraisals are reviewed as to continuity in the specific areas for equalization purposes and for any mathmatical errors. II .Reorganization A. The department is now going through a study of reorganization as to individual tasks, production, what detail can be dispensed with without seriously affecting our service to the taxpayers. The department is sorely in need of another residential appraiser to relieve the Deputy Assessor so that he in turn can assist in the appraising of Commercial Industrial properties. The tremendous growth in the latter over the past three years has reduced the efficiency of the City Assessor in whose responsibility it has been to appraise this class of property. In addition the growth of the City also compounds the problem by additional courtcases, time spent with Commercial/Industrial property owners and their tax representatives. Without going into further detail suffice to state that this department cannot continue on in an efficient productive manner without additional staff. III. Computer Aided Assessment A. In 1984, if staffed for same, our goal is to begin input of the physical characteristics into the Logis Property Data System on all residential properties. This cannot be accomplished in a year but 25% can be and it will amount to a 4 year project overall. The programming is completed in the system and two municipalities have completed this phase of the Property Data System. B. Presently we are studOg the PUS to speedup input time i. e. faster screen speed, possiblY a faster terminal, etc. C. Review of information to giveout and charges for computer data such as: 1. Computer printout of property data for Realtors 2. Appraisal Card Copy charge 3. Phone information to Realtors - reduce number of items given out, etc. 'v. Overall View of Department A. We are continuously reviewing, planning, experimenting and changing the overall administration of the City Assessors Office. This is and will continue to be on going to accomplish a more efficiently run department. B. Overall costs are studied and our goal and objective is to reduce and keep down same wherever possible. C. To obtain our goals and objectives this department has to be properly staffed.

Implement the recently developed, comprehensive ( a p p r o x i m a t e l y 3 5 0 p a g e ) policy and procedures manual which defines standar d s f o r p o l i c e p e r s o n n e l and police operations. 4. Further develop and refine "directed patrol" p r o g r a m t o b e t t e r u t i l i z e "uncommitted" patrol time and increase Crime Cont r o l U n i t p r o d u c t i v i t y . 5. Develop and implement an integrated Neighborhoo d W a t c h - C r i m e P r e v e n t i o n program to respond to community requests for a ser i e s o f n e i g h b o r h o o d meetings similar to those we held several years ag o .

March 27, 2983 Carl Jullie Page 2 6. Increase productivity and utilization of CSOs by additional training to expand their skill levels to enable them to participate in a wider variety of assignments. 7. Continue the operating expense reduction program established in June, 1981. Expand it whenever possible. Long term goals 1. Develop and implement a department physical fitness program which will encourage employees to reach and maintain a good level of fitness through incentives. 2. Develop and implement a Career Development program which will aid individual employees in achieving training, education and experience to accomplish advancement toward their career goals. FIRE DIVISION Short term goals I. Redistribute command responsibilities to better utilize fire departffent resources and facilities and to keep pace with the increasingly more complex and varied fire fighting, fire inspect- ion and prevention responsibilities. We will go from only one chief to a system of three assistant chiefs (one for operations, one for training and one for inspections and prevention), and three battalion chiefs (one for each station). 2. Develop and implement procedures and guidelines to establish "one station" call-out capability when feasible and prudent. This will be primarily from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. This is expected to result in significant cost savings and improved fire fighter morale as fewer fire fighters and equipment will respond per call and each individual fire fighter will be used more productively with many fewer "dead runs". Long term goals Establish a satellite fire station across from the Frazer Homes on Preserve Boulevard. -rtLi MEMORAN DUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Manager Carl J. Jullie SUBJECT: Additional Staffing for Building/Inspections Department DATE: March 18, 1983 Attached is the general summary sheet of the February, 1983, Building Department activity report. As you can see, we are experiencing a dramatic increase in building permit activities over 1982. Through February we have issued permits for 82 new units of housing (52 single family). Last year through February the total was only 11 units (9 single family). We are in the immediate need of an additional person for the following duties: Answer Code questions from architects and contractors; Answer Code questions from walk-in trade; Handle phone calls on general construction subjects; Plan checking single plans; and - Assist with outside inspections, especially during the vacation and sick days. Our intent is to hire a recent graduate from a trade school and then provide on the job training as needed. The anticipated starting salary will be in the $18,000 - $22,000 range. As noted on the summary sheet, our total fees to-date are almost $49,000 ahead of last year. It would be understood with this employee that a lay- off would be probable in the event that building activity again slowed to the pace of last year. It is requested that the Council authorize one additional staff person for the Building/Inspections Department as per the preceding discussion.

The City Council 'approved, in concept, the proposal; however, the City Council had four concerns with the language of the March 10 memorandum: 1. The North Stars requested that the City commit to a $30 per hour fee for ice rental for the first five years, and that the fee for ice rental in year six through ten would be adjusted to whatever the City negotiated with the School District for non prime time hours. The City Council asked that the North Stars consider an escalator clause that would be based on cost increases the City receives on maintaining ice that would basically be tied to the increased utility costs over the ten year period. 2. In the final agreement between the North Stars and the City, the City would request the North Stars to specify the fees they would charge spectators during training camp. 3. The City Council was uncomfortable with the language in No. 7, page 2 of the March 10 staff memorandum. The Council preferred language allowing North Star employee use of the facilities at the Community Center as part of the consideration for the transfer of ownership of the facility to the City. 4. The City Attorney has given his opinion that it would be legal for the City to allow the North Stars to use IRB's for the construction of this facility. The City Council wants to make sure the North Star Organization is aware that the City, at this point, can only indicate that the City would consider a request for IRB's under a specific application. On March 16, City staff met with Mr. Lou Nanne, of the North Stars, to discuss the City Council's concerns relating to the March 10 memorandum. Mr. Ramie didn't have a problem with items numbered 2, 3 ET 4 of this memo however, he indicated after reviewing conservative cost projections for this project, the North Stars now feel that they would have to have an option to extend their lease of the facility up to 20 years. They would request that the contract have a five year extension option at the ten year period and at fifteen year period. This option would be tied to the following proposed ice rental rates: • Years 1-3 would stay at 830 per hour . Years 4 & S would be increased to reflect the increased utility costs based on a percentage increase of electrical and gas rates to the City of Eden Prairie front year 1 of 1 his s agreement . In year 6, the City would have the right to adjust the rental rate to the non prime time tri -2- rate for the School District and the Hockey Association. This rate would then stay the same for years 6, 7 & 8. • Years 9 & 10 would again be aujusted upward based on the percentage of utility rate increases from year 6. • Years 11-15 and 16-20 would be at the same rate as the City negotiated with the School District and the Mockey Association of Eden Prairie for non prime time rates with annual increases based on the utility rate inccases. • City staff is requesting the City Council to consider this proposal at the March 22, 1983 meeting so Mr. Nanne is able to present a final proposal from the City to the Gunn Brothers at a scheduled April 5 meeting. A final decision on North Star training facilities is intended to be made at their April 5 meeting. •BL:mcl Lai MEMORANDUM TO: 1HRU: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services Jan Flynn, Human Services Coordinator March 22, 1983 Request to Waive Fee for Senior Citizen Raffle Members of the Senior-Pioneer Club have been crocheting an afghan and planning a raffle since late 1982. The Senior group has been growing, and space at the Senior Center is limited. The group decided to have a raffle for which the funds would be put into a building fund, thus showing their concern and interest in the Senior Center and alleviate the City of Eden Prairie of some of their financial responsibil- ities to the Seniors in the community. Two hundred tickets have been printed and the drawing is set for early June. The number of tickets sold were kept low to give everyone a good chance at winning the afghan. Still, between the printing cost and the gambling fee, the profit for the Senior Center would 'int pay for the time and materials invested in the afghan. The Senior-Pioneer Club would therefore like to request a waiver from the gambling fee. This group is non-profit and the profit from the raffle will be going back to the City of Eden Prairie. We are requested this waiver through a memo, because the gambling application forms are not yet written. We appreciate the Council's consideration of this request.
