'1.3 PUBLIC LAND PERMIT: DOCK SITE #41824, DEVON COMMONS - MARK SMITH - 4665 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE. Council Member Weycker stated that she recalled previously approving a permit for electrical work on this site and she was not aware that the final electrical inspection had been clone. Council Member Hanus stated that the electrical work was part of this request. Council Member Ahrens stated that she was present when the electrical work was approved on this site. The City Building Official stated that the final inspection was not on file with the City and that Staff would work with the applicant to get this completed. 2 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Hanus stated that all the electrical was being worked on and would need approval for this project. Mayor Meisel pointed out that inspection is a condition of approval. Council Member Ahrens, in reference to standard procedure, asked who gets the proof of inspection. The City Building Official stated that the proof is given to the applicant and that the City is not always sent a copy. Council Member Hanus stated that the applicant could have assumed that the copy was automatically sent to the City and the City Building Official agreed that this could have been an honest mistake. The City Building Official stated that the system would work the way the Resolution is laid out with Staff follow- up or that a condition could be added that the permit would expire if the electrical inspection was not filed with the City by a certain date. He also pointed out that recent changes require an annual report be made to Council on the stares of such cases and that this would insure Staff follow-up. Mayor Meisel pointed out that applicants should be made aware that it is their responsibility to file the inspection report. Brownmoved and Weycker seconded the following resolution with Staff follow-up on the filing of the electrical inspection: RESOL~ON g00-86 RESOLU~ON TO APPROVE A PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT TO INSTALL ELECTRICAL SERVICE, AN UNDERGROUND SPRINKLER SYSTEM, AND ATTACH A LIGHT AND ELECTRICAL OUTLET TO AN EXISTING LIGHT POLE ON PUBLIC LANDS KNOWN AS DEVON COMMONS DOCK SITE//41824. The vote was 4 in favor with Ahrens ab~nlning. Motion c_n_rried. 1.4 COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT ABOUT SUBJECTS NOT ON THE AGENDA. (PLEASE LIMIT TO 3 MINUTES PER SUBJECT.~ Betty Hoy, 1809 Resthaven Lane, thanked the City Manager for her quick response to her concern over the granting of a private driveway in lake access property. Ms. Hoy stated that she felt this was wrong in that it takes away from the public use of the property. She further 3 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 stated that she did not feel that citizens read the public notices and felt they were probably unaware of this. She stated that the driveway that has been allowed on Resthaven Lane is dangerous and she wondered what the process would be to stop these type of driveway easements. Council Member Hanus stated that the City Council cannot deny people the opportunity to make such a request. Ms. Hoy stated that she could understand allowing people to make the request, but felt that an ordinance should be passed not to allow variances in these cases. She stated that the situation on Resthaven occurred because two lots were divided and that the property could have been divided differently to avoid this. John Bergerman, 1821 Resthaven Lane, stated that the access Ms. Hoy was discussing is very busy and is currently full of construction vehicles, which has restricted public use. Council Member Hanus stated that it was not acceptable for the construction vehicles to be parked in the access. Council Member Brown stated that the City should be called to enforce the law when this occurs. Council Member Ahrens stated that the problem with construction sites exists in areas other than the public access and that she has called the City to enforce the law when necessary. Mr. Bergerman stated that his point was that it is wrong to take public property for the driveway. Council Member Ahrens stated that she felt that the construction parking would have been a problem even without the easement. Peter Meyer, 5748 Sunset Road, asked where the Council was in the process of filling the vacancy on the Park Commission. The City Manager stated that the ad has nm in the paper and that a new form was created to take the applicants' information more uniformly. The prior applicants for the position were sent the new form and asked to reapply. Applications will be brought back to the Park Commission and the City Council will be notified when the interviews are scheduled. She stated that the Park Director, Jim Fac/der, could provide details on the timeline. 4 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES - SEP1EMBER 26, 2000 1.5 PRF~A~ON OF FEASHSILITY REPORT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF WEST EDGE BOULEVARD. The City Engineer, John Cameron, stated that a feasibility study has been done on Westedge Boulevard that is located % in Mound and ~h in Minnetrista. He stated that there are a total of 6 properties developed on the east side (Mound) and that the current roadway is gravel. The survey indicated that the road basically follows the dividing line. The City Engineer showed photos of the area indicating the high rise of the grade and the heavily wooded area. He showed photos of retaining walls and hedges that are within the City right of way and further stated that there are wetlands on the Minnetrista side. The City Engineer stated that this was classified as a collector street and would normally be 32 feet wide, but because of the topography issues, he is recommending 30 feet in width with a full 6 inch curb (29 feet of surface), which is well above the Minnesota standard for a 30 mph design. The City Engineer stated that it was a possibility to have curb only on the Mound side, but that there would need to be about 300 feet of curb on the Minnetrista side where there was no room for a ditch. Council Member Brown asked if this was necessary because of erosion and the City Engineer stated that the curb was necessary to carry water and to help the roadbed. The City Engineer stated that the proposal was to stop short of Minnetrista's Wood Edge Road intersection. He stated that the pond would need to be resized t allow for wetland discharge and storm sewer drainage in addition to the needs of the Rottland development. He has given this information to the Rottland engineers. Staff has suggested to Rottland to carry the pond discharge to the railroad track. In reference to grading on West Edge, the City Engineer stated that the hill leading to County Road 15 would be raised as much as possible but that there is a driveway in that location that will somewhat impede the grading. The City Engineer gave the following cost estimates: 1. Based on curb and gutter on both sides 2. Curb on the Mound side only (alternative A) $209,900 $192,800 In reference to the assessments, he stated that in the past, the City has assessed most of the cost to the property owners, but these were residential streets. 5 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Contribution from Hennepin County (estimate) 10% City share for a collector street $3,000 $21,000 Curb and Gutter on Both Sides Assessment to property owners 1/4 to 6 Mound residents Developer Alternative A Assessment to property owners 1/4 to 6 Mound residents Developer $186,000 $40,675 $140,000 $135,100 $7,100 $128,000 Council Member Ahl'ens asked if the properties were being assessed evenly rather than by lineal frontage. The City Engineer stated that the amount was simply divided, but that may need to be looked at. Mayor Meisel stated that she was concerned about the entry area of the first house on County Road 15. The City Engineer stated that they would be limited in how much the grade could be changed by this driveway and that the driveway would have to come down to the level of West Edge. Council Member Hanus asked whether Alternative A included the 300 feet of curb deemed necessary on the Minnetrista side. The City Engineer confirmed that this cost was included. Council Member Hanus questioned how much of the cost involved the roadbed and whether borings were taken. The City Engineer stated that these costs assumed starting the road from scratch and if the roadbed could be reused, it would lower the cost. Council Member Hanus asked how this model compared with a typical collector road model. The City Engineer stated that only residential roads had been assessed in the past and the 10 percent share to the City is meant to include the cost of the extra width and strength of the street. The City Engineer stated that it was now necessary to meet with Minnetrista regarding this and that they are now showing an interest in having curb and gutter on their side, but are not willing to pay for it. 6 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Ahrens pointed out that Minnetrista would normally tie the cost of the road to the developer and wondered if they would be willing to reimburse Mound when a future development went in. The City Engineer stated that homes are planned south of the intersection and that the developer will be improving that stretch along with a section that is in Mound. Council Member Ahrens wondered if it would be possible to swap improvements on this road. Council Member Hanus pointed out that Mound could not force the Minnetrista developer to do anything. Council Member Weycker suggested recommending Alternative A as the priority plan and getting a reaction from Minnetrista. Council Member Hanus asked about the section of road with wetland on one side and wondered how much wider the road would be in that area. The City Engineer stated it would be 6 feet and would impact the wetlands. He stated that he hoped this would fall under an exemption, but otherwise it would be necessary to do mitigation. Council Member Weycker stated that because Mound would be working with Minnetrista on their development, it could be presented to them that the cities need to work together on this road. The City Engineer asked for confir afion that the City Council preferred to go with Alternative A. The City Attorney stated that this was still in the early stages and a general direction from Council was all that was necessary at this point. The City Manager clarified that the next meeting with Minnetrista on October 9 would be for Staff only and Council would not need to attend. Council Member Ahrens asked when exemption status for the wetland would be known. City Engineer stated that Staff is working with Rottland on this as they are already doing mitigation. The Council Member Hanus suggested looking at the City land south of the railroad tressel for mitigation. The City Engineer stated this would be a possibility and that there is an exemption up to 400 square feet that may work out. 7 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 1.6 DISCUSSION/ACTION ON AME~ED OUTDOOR STORAGE AGREEMENT. Greg Skinner, Public Works Department, addressed the Council and stated that this Agreement did not affect operations, but was for eliminating duplicate sections of the original Agreement. Council Member Hanus wondered if it would be wise to cover Mound in the event that Minnetrista did merge with St. Bonifacius in the future. The City Attorney stated that this would be overkill, because when mergers are done underlying obligations are addressed. Council Member Hanus wondered if the statement regarding the splitting of equipment would also involve trucks, etc. Mr. Skinner stated that the City of Mound does not leave equipment in the area being discussed. Council Member Hanus stated that he thought the original agreement contained composting and wondered if this had intentionally been removed. Council Member Ahrens stated that the composting had never been in writing. Brown moved and Ahms seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION g87-00 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ~ MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A JOINT AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MINNETRISTA TO OPERATE AN OUTDOOR STORAGE The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. 1.7 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: CASE//00-48: VARIANCE - GREG PETRICH - 4856 DONALD DRIVE. The City Planner stated that it was Staff recommendation to deny the garage as requested and to require the setback to be not less than 6 feet from the property line. Orv Burma, from the Planning Commission, addressed the Council stating that he wished to explain his vote at the Planning Commission discussion of the this item. He stated that he missed the setback because he was concerned about the hardcover issue. He would have voted nay on the issue causing a 4-4 vote and the issue would have stayed at the Planning Commission for further discussion. Commissioner Burma stated that the land next door is 8 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 unlikely to be developed and that the intent of setbacks is to ensure privacy, fire safety, etc. Allowing the applicant to build as proposed would not interfere with this intent. Council Member Brown stated that he was in agreement with Commissioner Burma on this issue. Council Member Hanus asked whether other options were discussed. The City :Planner stated that it was suggested to push the garage back, or to keep one comer at the required setback. Council Member Ahrens pointed out that no hardship was shown. Greg Petrich, the applicant in this case, explained his building plans to the Council stating that he wished to add a 12 foot dining room, move the garage over, add an addition on the back to extend the bedrooms, and also add a screen porch. He stated that he initially received land from Hennepin County to make the lot 10,000 square feet and that he would like to get the variance or acquire additional land to make his current plans possible. Mayor Meisel asked whether the applicant had applied to the City for the additional land. Mr. Petrich stated that he had talked to the City Building Official about this. Mayor Meisel asked where Staff was on the issue. The City Building Official stated that Staff recommendations were consistent with the City Planner in maintaining the 6-foot setback and that the request to purchase the land is being routed through the City departments. Council Member Weycker wondered if the issue should be tabled until the next meeting. The City Building Official stated that would push the project into the spring and that even if a variance were granted, the applicant would still pursue the purchase of the land. Council Member Ahrens explained the rule regarding variances and hardship to the applicant. Mr. Petrich stated that he was willing to wait until spring to move forward with his plans as he would prefer to acquire the additional land. He was in favor of tabling the issue. MOTION, by Ahrens, seconded by Brown subject to receiving a written request from the Applicant to waive the 60-day period, to table this case. An amendment was added by Brown to direct Staff to pursue alternatives in this case and was accepted by Ahrens. The vote was nnanimously in favor. Motion carried. 5-0. 9 1.8 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTE$ - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 1.8 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: CASE g00-58: VARIANCE - TED OARE - 1801 RESTHAVEN LANE. The City Planner stated that the house has been gutted by fire and the applicant is requesting a variance to recognize nonconforming setbacks including a low floor elevation that is 7/10tbs of a foot below the requirements. He stated that the variances were necessary because the fire damage to the building was greater than 50 percent of the assessed value which required it to be rebuilt to the current code or variances granted. The City Planner stated that in reference to the low floor elevation, the Flood Plain standards do not allow variances to be granted and doing so would jeopardize the City's participation in the Flood Insurance Program. He stated that it is Staff's position not to allow a variance for the floor elevation. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the setback variance in an unanimous vote. He further stated that the Planning Commission discussed the current flood elevation standard, and wished to discuss this further at another time as it was quite involved. Ted Oare, the applicant in this case, stated that only the interior of the house was destroyed and that the outside would only need a coat of paint. He stated that the highest Lake Minnetonka has been is 930.5 and he feels that he will never have a flood issue and has never had any moisture in his basement. He checked with FEMA and stated that they told him they do not have a problem with a variance being granted for the low floor elevation. He further stated that it will cost him $40,000 to raise the house. Because his house does not qualify for flood insurance, he does not feel it is in a flood zone. Council Member Brown stated that he also called FEMA and that while the City Planner gives the level at 931.5, the FEMA flood map states 931. He stated that going back to 1910 the highest flood level was 930.5 and that the dam controls the water level. Council Member Brown also questioned why the City of Mound had set this at 933 when the FEMA regulation is 931 and the state requires 932. He also pointed out that the house is not in a flood area, but possibly some of the shoreline would be. Mayor Meisel confirmed that the point is that the City has set the high water mark at 933. The City Planner stated that Council Member Brown's points are correct, but that the Watershed added the half-foot to the 931 making the level 931.5. He stated that the history is being checked and at this point he is unsure why the City added the additional 1.5 feet, but that it has been in place for a long time. 10 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIU'IE$- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Ahrens stated that she remembered investigating the surrounding cities and that none of them were at 933. The Mayor of Spring Park was present and stated that his city was at 932. Council Member Hanus stated that he was on the Planning Commission when this was redone and that it was the Commission's impression that the 933 would be the least restrictive, but perhaps that was the wrong impression. He further stated that the Council could not change the code tonight and that this case would have to be dealt with as the code is currently written. Council Member Brown agreed that this code needed to be dealt with, but did not feel a citizen should suffer. The City Attorney pointed out that there is a provision in the statute requiring DNR approval to changes. He further stated that the City may want technical advice on what the proper level should be. Mayor Meisel stated that the process could take several months and wondered if the applicant wanted to table the issue or go forward with the code as it is written. Council Member Ahrens wondered if the damage was less than 50 percent of the value, would the City be able to ignore the variances. The City Attorney stated that an assessor has valued the property and there is no way around the issue. Council Member Brown stated that the applicant would not be doing any work in the basement and so would not be affecting the variance. The City Attorney pointed out that the ordinance referred to the whole structure. The applicant agreed to tabling this issue. Council Member Hanus pointed out that this case is a good example of why a nonconforming property is not desirable. ~)'~MOeOeOe~lTlut~oNl~ bYR Brown, seconded by Weycker, to direct Staff to draw upa approving side yard variance request. The vote was -nanimously in .Q.~, favor. Motion carried. 50. MOTION, by Brown, to table the applicant's request for a variance to the flood plain subject to a written agreement with the applicant. Motion died for lack of a second. 11 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTE$ - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 The City Building Official pointed out that the applicant was advised from the onset that the flood plain was not variancable and that this is not something that can be tabled. The City Attorney stated that it may be necessary to deny the variance request made on the application. MOTION by Ahrens, seconded by Weycker, for denial of the request for a flood plain variance. The vote was nnanlmously in favor. Motion carded. 5-0. The City Building Official stated that in regard to the levels of flood plains required in other cities, Mound had issues regarding hardcover. The DNR has raised the issue that the flood plain issues differ on Lake Minnetonka. The Watershed is attempting to make this consistent at 932.5. Council Member Brown stated that Staff should pursue changing the code to follow the state guidelines. Mayor Meisel called a break at 9:50 p.m. Mayor Meisel called the meeting to order at 10:05 p.m. 1.9 SENIOR CENTER: DISCUSSION/ACTION ON AGREEMENT FOR STORM WATER PONDING ON CITY PROPERTY. The City Planner stated that he had prepared the requested documents including the Declaration for a Storm Pond, the Declaration for Phosphorus Free Fertilizer, and the Consent form. The forms are now ready for signature. The City Planner stated that there is a surety item of $1,000 outstanding that was not addressed by Staff. He thought that this was a construction item and was not enough to cover any potential problems. He wondered if the City could put up the surety. The City Engineer stated the surety was for erosion control during the construction of the pond. The City Attorney stated that this would need to be explored further because if it was for ongoing maintenance, it is the City's responsibility. The City Attorney stated that if the applicant was willing, a provision stating that no Certificate of Occupancy would be issued until the pond was complete and that would be a way around the surety bond. He did not feel the City Council should take a position on this at this time. 12 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Lowell Olson, Yanick Company, stated that the documents met their expectations other than the surety bond, which was a surprise to them. He stated that the provision for the Certificate of Occupancy was agreeable and would certainly carry more clout than the $1,000. Mayor Meisel asked that the issue of the surety bond would be left alone for now and the City Planner stated that Staff would contact the Watershed for clarification. The City Attorney stated that this should be left for now and that he did not feel the Watershed would require the City to put up the surety once the situation was clarified. Mr. Olson stated that he has equipment on site and needs to start the pond. He wondered if this would hold up the permit. The City Attorney stated that the hold up was with the Watershed and could be resolved quickly, but that the developer could deposit the $1,000 in the meantime, if necessary. Ahrens moved and Brown seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION//88-00 RESOL~ON AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR STORM WATER PONDING ON CITY PROPERTY FOR THE GILLESPIE SENIOR CENTER The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. 5-0. 1.10 GILLESPIE SENIOR CENTER: DISCUSSION/ACTION ON SENIOR CENTER Council Member Ahrens referred to the Council briefing distributed by the City Manager and asked whether item 4 referencing the cost of burning the structures was a City contribution. The City Manager confirmed that it was. Council Member Ahrens stated that assuming the Senior Center requests tax free status, the City's portion would be approximately 17 percent. The City Attorney stated that under statute, the City has the authority to make the Center exempt for all other tax authorities including the county, state and school and in effect, would be contributing other people's money to the Senior Center. 13 MOUND CITY COUNCIL M1NIUTES - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Ahrens pointed out that the other taxing authorities would not be losing money they already had; just not receiving new money. She further pointed out that the potential costs for snow removal at the Senior Center lot is $3,780. Council Member Hanus stated that the intention of the CBD program is help with parking in the downtown area. If the Senior request is approved, Council could expect to get more requests from others not in the core downtown area.. Council Member Weycker stated that she has spoken with the Senior Center and snow removal is their intention, not membership in the CBD. Council Member Ahrens asked whether a private snow plower would be eligible for a charitable contribution. The Mayor confirmed that it would be eligible with a receipt. Council Member Hanus pointed out that the City's finances are tight at this time. Council Member Ahrens suggested responding to the Seniors with a list of what the City is already contributing. Council Member Ahrens questioned whether the City Building Department could afford to lose the $10,000 in permit fees. The City Manger stated that the Finance Director has stated that this would be a substantial amount for that department to absorb. Council Member Weycker asked whether saying no to the presumed request for tax exemption was a possibility. The City Attorney stated that the Center can be a 501C3, but that does not include taxable property. Under new statutes, the City could say no to the property tax exemption. Council Member Hanus stated that the oppommity to say no was when the final plat was approved. He further stated that the City Council did not want to say no to the request, and wanted to help the Senior Center. Council Member Ahrens asked whether the ongoing maintenance for the pond could be charged to other users in the future. The City Attorney confu'med that future users could be assessed the cost. Council Member Ahrens pointed out that the Senior Center has already benefited from not having to buy the land for the pond and not having to pay for the ongoing maintenance. The City Manager stated that the City cannot make dollar donations, but could do in-kind 14 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTE$- SEPTEMBER 2~, 2000 services. She felt it was important to point out where the City has partnered with the Senior Center in this project. She asked Staff who was designing the pond. The City Engineer stated the engineer for the Senior Center was doing the design work. The City Manager asked whether the reimbursement requested was for the creation of the pond. The City Attorney stated that it was felt the request referred to the construction portion of the cost and that the City Engineer has been unsuccessful to date in obtaining the costs for this. The City Manager asked whether there would be room to oversize the pond for future revenue. The City Engineer stated there would not be room and Council Member Weycker pointed out that the area may already be too tight for the Wail. The City Planner pointed out that City land abuts this and could be used for the trail. Council Member Weycker stated that it is necessary to reconfirm the location of the trail as the buffer zones were 16 feet. Council Member Itanus stated that the City Manager should be instructed to write a letter to the Senior Center stating thc City's position and outlining thc current savings, including the potential tax savings. He further stated that he would like to accommodate the Senior Center's requests, but the money is not available. The Council agreed with Council Member Hanus' statement. The City Manager stated that she would also clarify that the City was funding the maintenance of the pond. Council Member Ahrens pointed out that the City had given the Senior Center the land for the pond. 1.11 DISCUSSION/ACTION ON STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR ORDINANCE REVISION REGARDING VEHICLES FOR SALE IN CITY-MAINTAINF~D lARKING LOTS. Council Member Brown moved the ordinance as recommended by Staff. The motion died for a loack of second. Council Member Iq_anus stated that he felt this ordinance was too far reaching. Council Member Ahrens stated that she felt there was a problem with the language involving the streets. 15 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Hanus stated that if this ordinance was adopted, it would need to be enforced and this would keep the police force very busy. Council Member Ahrens stated that the parking lot of Bayview Apartments was full of cars for sale. Council Member Hanus suggested making the ordinance apply to the downtown area only. Council Member Ahrens pointed out that a person taking the bus from downtown who was also selling their car, would create confusion. Council Member Weyeker suggested removing the words "any street." Council Member Hanus stated that all streets are public property. The City Attorney suggested modifying the ordinance to read "in downtown areas", taking out "any street," and adding ", except streets." Council Member Hanus stated that if this was not a problem elsewhere, the ordinance should only apply to downtown. Council Member Ahrens felt that enforcement dollars should be spent downtown and would like to see this as part of a nuisance ordinance. Council Member Hanus asked what would constitute a car lot and wondered if the code stated 3 cars. The City Attorney stated this was more of an institutional violation and would be hard to prove. The City Manager stated that she had a discussion with the Police Chief who wanted to know if there was City Council support to clean up the neighborhoods. Council Member Ahrens stated this would allow one car to be for sale. The City Attorney pointed out that it could not be one car and one snowmobile. Council Member Ahrens stated that she did not want to see cars for sale downtown, but one in a yard was okay. She suggested adding "Staff will use reasonable common sense in enforcing" to the bottom of the ordinance. Council Member Hanus asked if removing "any street" would allow a single car in front of a house to be for sale. The City Attorney stating that removing that phrase would allow any number of cars to be in the street. Council Member Weycker wondered if a purpose or intent clause could be added. The City Attorney stated that the problem would be that the person enforcing the ordinance might not be clear on the intent. 16 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTE$- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Brown suggested tabling this item and directing Staff to go back and work out the issues. The City Attorney stated that he felt the ordinance was clear as written. Weycker moved and Brown seconded the following resolution: ORDINANCE 112-2000 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 700:30 OF THE CITY CODE BY ADDING ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE DISPLAY OF VEHICLES AND CONTENTS FOR SALE AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS. Discussion: The City Attorney pointed out that the words ', except streets" should also be added to the third line of the ordinance. Amendment by Weycker to add the words ", except streets" to the third line of the ordinance. Brown accepted this amendment. Mayor Meisel called the question. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. 5-0. 1.12 DISCUSSION/ACTION ON MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT REQUEST FOR REPRESENTATION. The City Manager asked if there was any interest in volunteering for the position. Council Member Weycker asked whether this would be appropriate for a Staff member. Council Member Hanus stated he did not want Staff holding this position. MOTION, by Brown, seconded by Hanus, to take no action on this request. Discussion: Council Member Weycker stated that she disagreed and felt this would be an inside track on what was happening with the Watershed. Council Member I-Ianus stated that it did not sound to him like the volunteer would have much technical input. 17 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIU~$- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Mayor Meisel called the question. AYES: 4 NAY: 1 (Weycker) Motion carried. Tom Casey addressed the Council and stated that he felt people in the community could help with this and suggested advertising in the Laker. He felt that this could provide information and cooperative links between the Watershed and the City. Council Member Brown stated that he disagreed with this. The City Manager stated that the volunteer would need to give a report to Council after each meeting in order for there to be a benefit. Mayor Meisel pointed out that there are four meetings annually. 1.13 WORKSHOP: DISCUSSION ON GUIDELINF.~ FOR AN ETHICS POLICY. The City Manager stated that ethics policies are common for cities in order to establish principles for a positive image of elected officials. Council Member Brown stated that he felt this should include all of the Commissions and Council Member I-Ianus stated that it should include all applicants also. The City Manager stated that in her prior positions, the auditors required this annually. Council Member Weycker asked whether this information would be available to the public. The City Attorney confirmed that it would be. Council Member Weycker asked the City Manager whether in her previous positions, the policy covered Commissions. The City Manager stated that it did not. Mayor Meisel pointed out that the policy requested the sources of income, but not the actual amount. Council Member Hanus questioned what income would be included citing examples of child support and alimony. The City Attorney pointed out that this was constructed using the statues and documents used by other cities. 18 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTES - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Council Member Hanus questioned why Disclosure A was open-ended. The City Attorney stated that it would be possible to have dealings with a business that was not located in the city. Council Member Hanus questioned why Disclosure B was 50%. The City Attorney stated this was meant to define a controlling interest. Council Member Hanus stated that this was wrong at any percent. Council Member Hanus stated that item 8A would not allow discussion of cases with citizens if 3 council members were present. The City Attorney stated that the language may need to be modified to read "as a group." He also stated that the Council Members really should not be discussing cases as this could cause a misperception on the part of the public. Council Member Hanus asked what the purpose of this ethics policy would be. The City Manager stated that it would put all the information in one place to use as a training piece for new members. Council Member Hanus stated that he did not believe this would stop allegations from being made. Council Member Weycker stated that she thought the policy would help. The City Attorney added that it would give the perception that ethics are important to the Council. Council Member Hanus stated that the guidelines would be picked apart and interpreted. Council Member Brown stated that he agrees with this. Council Member Hanus suggested a set of guidelines as a policy without disclosure. Mayor Meisel stated that she did not feel the disclosure was a big deal and Council Member Ahrens stated that she felt it was generic enough. Council Member Ahrens stated that she did not want this to become an ordinance and Council Members Brown and I-lanus agreed with that. The City Attorney suggested finding language that could be agreed on and calling it a policy. Council Member Weycker pointed out that if this was not made an ordinance, the next City Council might not even see it. Council Member Ahrens stated that there was no guarantee that a new Council would read the ordinance. Council Member Hanus asked how honest mistakes in disclosure would be dealt with if this were made an ordinance. Council Member Weycker stated the intent of the disclosure was 19 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINIUTE$- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 to bring the conffict to the council member's attention so that they could abstain from voting when necessary. Mayor Meisel stated that she had no problem with the disclosure and that the ethics should be left as guidelines. MOTION, by Brown to accept the ethics policy as guidelines only and not as an ordinance. Discussion: Council Member Ahrens asked whether it would be policy to have the disclosure completed when a council member was elected. The City Attorney stated that the last section under the heading of 'Hearing" would go away if this became a guideline. Council Member Brown withdrew his motion at this time. Council Member Hanus asked what ~beneficial interest" in Disclosures E was referring to. The City Attorney stated this was the opportunity to receive income. MOTION, by Ahrens, seconded by Mayor Meisel for discussion, to adopt the policy and begin disclosure. Mayor Meisel suggested amending the Motion to include the Commi~ions and to direct the City Attorney draw up a disclosure form. Council Member Ahrens accepted this amendment. Discussion: Council Member Weycker stated that she felt this should be an ordinance in order to give it more impact. Council Member Hanus stated he was against this as he felt it needed more work. Council Member Ahrens pointed out if this was left as a policy it could be changed as needed. Mayor Meisel called the question. MOUND CITY COUNCIL MIN1UTES- SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 AYES: 2 NAYS: 3 (Hanus, Brown, Weycker) Motion failed. 2-3. MOTION, by Brown, seconded by Ahrens, to table this issue.

Advisory Park and Open Space Commi~ion meeting minutes: Sept. 14 Council Member Weycker stated that the Park Commission would like to meet with the Council and discuss the working relationship between the two groups. Mayor Meisel asked Council for their interest level on this. Council Member Hanus confirmed that the last meeting between the two groups was last spring. The City Manager confirmed it was in April or May when the capital plan was discussed. Council Member Brown stated that he did not think it was beneficial to meet until after the election because the Council could change. Council Member Ahrens stated that the City normally has a holiday time get together, but because there was no City Manager last year, the get together was not held. She asked the City Manager whether she was the one who raised the issue of the appreciation night for this year. The City Manager stated that Commission members requested the appreciation night. Council Member Ahrens confirmed that this idea was brought to the City Council by the City Manager who felt that the lack of a party had been an oversight. Tom Casey addressed the Council and stated that the Park Commission was suggesting the meeting for the sake of good government. Council Member Brown stated that he had no problem with such a meeting, but felt it should be held after the Council was set. 21 MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINI-ITES - SEPTEMBER 26, 2000 Mr. Casey stated that this was an emergency situation and this was a good time to get started.

The League of Minnesota Cities has published an explanation and the reason for such a resolution. Attached please find a copy of the resolution, the League of Cities' explanation and the State Law on the authorization requirement for a tax rate increase,, Although the law calls for a "public hearing", we have been informed by the League of Cities that regular action during a council meeting will be sufficient to meet the intent of this law. If you or the council need more information, please let me know. prlnte~ on recycled paper October 10, 2000 RESOLUTION gOO- RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A TAX RATE INCREASE FOR THE 2000 TAX LEVY, COLLECTIBLE IN 2001 BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mound, County of Hennepin, Minnesota, that the County Auditor is authorized to fix a property'tax rate for taxes payable in the year 2001 that is higher than the tax rate calculated pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 275.078 for the city for taxes levied in 1999, collectible in 2000. Adoption of this resolution does not prohibit the city from certifying a final levy that will result in no tax rate increase or a tax rate decrease. The City Clerk is hereby instructed to transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the County Auditor of Hennepin County, Minnesota. The foregoing resolution was moved by Councilmember seconded by Councilmember . and The following Councilmembers voted in the affirmative: The following Councilmembers voted in the negative: Mayor Attest: City Clerk FROH THE LEAGUE OF I~NI~IESO~A C~TIES Tax rate certification A law passed in 1999 requires that all cities over 500 population and all counties must pass a resolution if the levy for the subsequent year will result in a tax rate increase. The provision is based on a Missouri law and was pa~sed by the Minnesota Legislature in response to concerns that cities and counties were claiming they were freezing taxes when, in fact, the levy was increasing but being offset by tax base growth. Under the law, the county auditor is required to provide information to affected cities and the county board that will allow the local government to calculate what its tax rate would be in the coming year ifthe levy was held constant. Essentially, a baseline tax rate is computed based on the prior year's levy and the current year tax base. The county auditor is required to provide this information by October 1 of each year. The city council or county board must adopt a resolution at a public hearing if its levy will result in an increase in the tax rate over the baseline tax rate. The resolution must be filed with the county auditor by October 20 of each year. If a city or county fails to file this resolution by October 20, the county auditor is prokibited from spreading a levy that would result in a hi~er tax rate, unless the increased rate is due to either a change in the general obligation debt levy or a reduction in tax capacity due to a classification change, property exemption, court judgment, or county error. The levy and tax rate are adjusted to exclude levy for general obligation bonds and fiscal disparities, if applicable. If a city files the resolution, it may still certify a final levy that results in a constant or decreased tax rate. It may therefore be prudent to file the resolution by the October 20 deadline if your preliminary levy would cause a tax rate 'increase even if you plan to certify a lower final levy in December. 275.078 Authorization; tax rate increase. On or before October 1, 1999, and each subsequent year, the county auditor shall certify to the governing body of each home rule charter or statutory city with a population greater than 500 in the county and to the county board, the following information for the taxing jurisdiction: (1) the taxing jurisdiction's certified levy under section 275.08 for the previous year, taxes payable in the current year, excluding any amount levied to pay general obligation bonds, less (i) the areawide portion of the levy under section 276A.06, subdivision 3, or 473F.08, subdivision 3, if any, for taxes payable in the following year; and (ii) the sum of the net tax capacity adjustment amount and the fiscal disparities adjustment amount under section 273.1398, subdivision 2, if any, for aids payable in the following year; (2) the taxing jurisdiction's taxable net tax capacity for the current assessment year, for taxes payable in the following year; and (3) the tax rate obtained by dividing the amount in clause (1) by the amount in clause (2), rounded to the nearest hundredth percent. In order to impose a tax rate for purposes other than to pay general obligation bonds for taxes payable in the following year that is higher than the tax rate certified by the county auditor under clause (3), the governing body of the city with a population greater than 500 or the county board must adopt a resolution, after holding a public hearing, authorizing a higher tax rate and file a copy of the resolution with the county auditor on or before October 20, 1999, and each year thereafter. A county auditor is prohibited from fixing a tax rate for purposes other than to pay general obligation bonds for taxes payable in the following year that is higher than the rate certified under clause (3) if a resolution has not been filed, unless the higher rate is due solely to a reduction in the taxing jurisdicsion's net tax capacity certified under clause (2) resulting from classification changes, exemptions, tax court judgmenss, or clerical or administrative errors made by the county. For purposes of this section, "public hearing" includes, but is not limited To, regularly scheduled city council hearings and county board meetings.

To: Kandis Hanson, City Manager From: Loren Gordon, City Planner Date: October 6, 2000 Subject: Sign ordinance amendment Recent events have prompted a review of the City's Sign Code (Section 365) to address directional and informational signage that is customarily found in off-street parking areas. Examples of this are directional arrows for drive-thru's, "No parking" signs, handicapped signs, and special parking privilege designators among others. The code is generally silent on this type of signage although it might be construed that an applicant apply for a permit. The suggested ordinance modification corrects this deficiency by establishing an "Off-street Informational Sign." Under the provisions, this sign would be limited to 3 square feet in size, would not require permit, and would not have a limit on their quantity. One item the Council should consider prior to adoption is referral to the Planning Commission. The sign code is not specifically part of the Zoning Regulations so it doesn't require a public hearing and is on the outside edge of the Planning Commission's review authority. There is not a rush to adopt this language, so it could be a discussion item for the Commission if the Council considers it appropriate. 123 North Third Street, Suite 100, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 (612) 338-0800 Fax (612) 338-6838 ORDINANCE NO. -2000 AN ORDINANCE EXEMPTING CERTAIN SIGNS FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 365 OF THE MOUND CODE The City of Mound does ordain: Section 365 of the Mound Code of Ordinances is amended in the following respects: I.

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota this 2000. day of Pat Meisel, Mayor ATTEST: Fran Clark, City Clerk JBD-187124vl MU220-5 CITY OF MINNETRISTA ADMINISTRATION MEMO TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Kandis Hanson, Mound City Manager Tim Cruikshank, City Administrator 4 October 2000 Westedge Boulevard and utilities This memorandum is to confirm items discussed at our 10/2/00 meeting with Chuck Alcon, Paul Heuer, John Cameron, and Loren Gordon in preparation for the 10/9/00 meeting with the Minnetrista City Council. 1) The width and design of Westedge will be discussed by our City Engineers and a recommendation will be forthcoming. The outstanding issues have to do with: a) the width of the road being less than the 36 foot Minnetrista standard and the reasons for this proposal, b) how to tie in to south end and north end of the road, c) how to get under the trestle (Wara Real Estate would need to work with the railroad to accomplish this), d) whether curb and gutter should be installed on both sides on the north end of the street (there may be some environmental concerns with curb and gutter on the west side on the north end), and e) who improves the 80 foot piece on the south that is on Metropolitan Council property. 2) Mound would extend water main in existing Westedge south through Minnetrista, looping Mound's system. In order to do this, Minnetrista would need a utility easement from Wara Real Estate and Mound and Minnetrista would need to enter into a cooperative agreement addressing maintenance of Mound's water main that would be in Minnetrista city limits. Also, Mound would install an emergency interconnection of the two city's systems at their cost. The cities would need an agreement for this as well. 3) Wara Real Estate would extend Minnetrista water main from North Saunders in Westedge north to Woodedge Drive for future Minnetrista needs. 4) Future sewer connection for Minnetrista properties north of the trestle would either: 1) connect to Mound's line for a short distance before entering MCES (this would require an agreement between the two cities) or 2) Minnetrista could use the easement Mound has and run a main to MCES. 5) If and/or when the rail line is vacated, the City of Minnetrista and Hennepin Parks would need to work together to apply for a grant for a pedestrian bridge to span Westedge. Since this bridge would not be in Mound, they would not apply for the grant with us, but would show support for the grant. 6) The City of Mound would agree to conducting an information meeting on the development of this area and how it may impact Westedge traffic. It has also been suggested that Minnetrista provide staff to support this meeting as well. All area residents would be notified of this meeting, including the Mound residents east of proposed Saunders Lake North development. G:\Tim\MEMOS\WESTEDGE1 .DOC TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council FROM: Paul Heuer RE: Mound's West Edge Boulevard Report ~ RoseneB°nestr°° FILE: BRA File No. 260-gen Anderlik & DA TE: October 4, 2000 ~ Associates Engineers & Architects MEMO We have reviewed the Feasibility Report for West Edge Boulevard dated September 25, 2000 and offer the following comments. General The report addresses the reconstruction of West Edge Boulevard from CR15 south to Woodedge Road. The Mound/Minnetrista boundary runs down the center of the right-of-way. Reconstructing this section of roadway has many challenges and restrictions, such as poor existing sight distance, steep grades from the edge of the existing road into private property, wetlands immediately adjacent to the roadway, and trees. The existing gravel road width averages approximately 24-feet. Mound's City Engineer proposes a width of 30-feet. Because of the steep street grades and steep driveways, this section of street will not be able to be designed to meet 30-mph standards. Warning speed signing will be necessary. Road Width We consider this road to be either a high volume residential street or a collector street. The Minnetrista standard width for a high volume residential street is 32-feet. The required width for a collector would be 36-feet. Given the physical constraints listed above, a 36-foot wide street is not practical or feasible. This, in addition to the fact that the street cannot be designed to meet 30-mph standards, leads to our judgement that a reasonable width would be 30 or 32-feet. The advantage of constructing it to 30-feet, as recommended in the report, is slightly less impact on wetlands, driveways, and other areas of private property. The disadvantage is that a 30-foot street would appear to be slightly substandard with regard to the traffic volumes expected. We recommend a 32-foot street, which is more in line with City standards. Option of Curb & Gutter The Mound side of the street is proposed to have concrete curb and gutter. Options are presented in the report for the Minnetrista side of the street to be either with or without concrete curb and gutter. From a functional standpoint, curb and gutter may result in a slightly longer pavement life. The need for curb and gutter in an urban area is much greater, as manicuring lawns leads to filling in ditches and therefore inhibits drainage. Properties along this street are not manicured up to the edge of the street. From a construction standpoint, curb and gutter will result in slightly more cutting or filling outside of the street, resulting in slightly more impact to adjacent properties. Therefore, there is no significant advantage or disadvantage of installing curb and gutter in this particular situation. In this case, it would be appropriate to base this decision purely on aesthetics. Typical Section The current section is equivalent to the City of Minnetrista's current residential street section. It would be appropriate to increase the section slightly, given the fact that this road will act as a high volume residential street or a collector. We recommend increasing the thickness of gravel base from the currently proposed 8- inches, to 1 O-inches. A sand base will most likely be necessary in the low area to provide for a stable roadbed. Impacts to Minnetrista Residents Two Minnetrista properties will be affected by this project. Significant grade changes are proposed at driveways of each of these properties, resulting in the need to extensively rebuild them. A retaining wall will be constructed in the right-of-way adjacent to the southern property. Temporary construction easements will be needed from both properties.

These revisions were approved by the Administrative staff on July 26, 2000. We realize there are additional elements which need to be added in order to bring The Code up-to-date such as the Family Medical Leave Act, A Transitional Workplace Policy, Parenting Leave Policy, and other various types of leave which are required by law such as time off for school conferences and activities, bone marrow donation leave and time off to vote. Our committee will continue to work on this revision process, however the concensus of the administrative group was to get closure on the elements included in this packet so they may be implemented with an effective date of January 1,2000. pr~nted on recycled paper 2.1 2.3 14.1 ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ,IULY 2000 STAFF RESPONSE TO COMMITTEE SECTION 2 - COMPENSATION PLAN Responsibility Change date Pay Equity Plan was adopted to December 1999.

Mound SWMP - Wetlands Functions and Values Assessment Update MFRA #10293 As requested, we have approached the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) regarding cost sharing of Mound's wetlands functions and values assessment. It is unlikely that the MCWD will cost-share with Mound or any other city. Instead they are considering conducting the wetland assessments with the Hennepin Conservation District for various communities over the next two-years. The City of Mound is one of their top four priorities and their efforts could begin this fall or next spring. MCWD's staff believes that Mound's SWMP could be approved contingent upon the MCWD completing the assessment. The MCWD's wetland assessment program is still developing and should be better defined at their October 12, 2000 meeting. I suggest we wait for the results of that meeting and react accordingly. We have also been in contact with the Metropolitan Council. They have matching funds in the order of $10,000 immediately available to assist Mound with the wetlands assessment. The grant would need to be matched by City funds. The grant application has been provided previously to you and John Dean for review. At your direction we are completing the application and will forward it to the Metropolitan Council within the next week. If the Metropolitan Council approves the grant, the City will need to approve the application agreement. If the MCWD program is viable and acceptable, the City can choose not to use the grant. 15050 23rd Avenue North · Plymouth.

Nybeck, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR September 12, 2000 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LMCD Mayors and Council Members LMCD Member Cities LMCD Board of Directors Interested Parties Bert Foster, LMCD Vice Chairman Greg Nybeck, LMCD Executive Director Update on Proposal for Adding Two Water Patrol Deputies for 2001 Boating Season In the attached letter, dated 7/24/00, the LMCD brought to your attention a proposal for a way to increase Hennepin County Shedffs Water Patrol presence on Lake Uinnetonka, for the 2001 boating season, by two full-time Deputies. We requested feedback from the LMCD member cities, by R/15/00, on two questions relating to this proposal. These were: 1) whether the member cities would support an increase of Water Patrol presence for the 2001 boating season, and 2) whether the member cities would be willing to share in some of the costs for it. Overwhelmingly, the member cities have indicated that they support an increase in Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka. Many cities indicated a willingness to share some of the cost and two cities had some concems regarding cost sharing. The comments received from these two member cities included: 1) Lake Minnetonka is a regional amenity and that that increased presence of Water Patrol should be funded at Hennepin County level, and 2) there is a need to provide justification for increased Water Patrol presence on Lake Uinnetonka. A meeting was held at the Hennepin County Shedffs Water Patrol Headquarters on Thursday, 8/24100, to discuss the proposal, to review and address the feedback received from LMCD member cities, and to further define the details of the proposal. There was a wide range of local and regional representation at this meeting, including: · Hennepin County Commissioner Penny Steele · Tom Church, Principal Assistant to Hennepin County Commissioner Mary Tambornino · Orono Mayor Gabriel Jabbour, Shorewood Mayor Woody Love, and Spring Park Mayor Jerry Rockvam · Four staff members of Hennepin County Sheriff's Office · Four staff members from LMCD member cities · LMCD Directors Foster and UcMillan, and LMCD Executive Director Greg Nybeck After significant discussion, three key points were identified that justify the need for increased Water presence. They include: 1. A cultural change of boatin.~ activities on Lake Minnetonka. The boats are larger, are driven in a manner that make larger waves, and are sometimes ddven by people who do not know the rules of the road and courteous operation. There seems to be an increase in aggressive operation on some boats of all sizes with a disregard for the law and their effect Web Page Address: http://www.winternet.com/-Imcd/ E-mail Address: Imcd@winternet.com LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT on others. This cultural change has resulted in increased concerns by the public, including dparian owners and watercraft operators. This has resulted in a reduced quality of the experience of those that recreate on Lake Minnetonka. The group felt that this situation could be improved by increased Water Patrol presence by having increased patrol hours. 2. Si.clnificantl¥ reduce I~atrol hours due to increased comi~lexit'v of processing violators. A BWI arrest, that used to take a Deputy off patrol for an hour to process the offender, now can take four to six hours. The increased processing time results from laws created to protect the dghts of the public and has affected criminal investigations. Arrests on the water, which are more difficult than land, now take much more time, which results in fewer actual patrol hours. The end result is less visible presence of the Water Patrol on the Lake. 3. The need to Drel~are for the Sl~ecial Del~utv litiqation currently at the Minnesota State Supreme Court. Historically, the Water Patrol has supplemented their full-time, licensed Deputies with 30 volunteer special deputies. These special deputies man patrol boats, make stops, and issue tickets. They average approximately 250 hours of volunteer time per year; however, their authority to "investigate" has been challenged in court and is currently at the Minnesota Supreme Court. If the ruling goes against the Water Patrol, there will be a sedous reduction in Water Patrol presence on the Lake. The group felt that the increase of two licensed ~aid Deputies would De at least some protection in the case of an adverse ruling. In the case of a favorable ruling, the two new deputies would have the needed effect of increased patrol hours. ue group decided to try to establish a two-year funding commitment, for $100,000 per year, to be ed exclusively for two additional Water Patrol Deputies to patrol Lake Minnetonka beginning in the 2001 boating season. None of these funds have been voted upon, but the proposed breakdown is as follows: · 50% from Hennepin County. · 30% from the LMCD Member Cities. · 20% from the LMCD "Save the Lake" Fund (Private contributions resulting from LMCD solicitation letters). The LMCD member cities would need to fund the proposed $30,000 through voluntary contributions for 2001. For 2002, it could be funded either through voluntary contributions or by adjusting the LMCD levy to its member cities in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 103B.635. The increased levy would require adoption of a resolution by N of the member cities (11 of 14). Details of how much each member city would be levied, using the LMCD formula outlined in Minnesota Statutes 103B.635, is detailed in the attached spreadsheet. We are asking each city to add the amount shown on the attached spreadsheet to their 2001 budget. If the other sources of revenue do not become available, the LMCD will rethink the plan and be back to each group. Please feel free to call the LMCD Executive Director if you have questions. m '/54 · m~ rrlz z zc')o I'1'I m BOARD MEMBERS Douglas E.

Nybeck, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR July 24, 2000 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LMCD Mayors and Councilmembers LMCD Member Cities Interested Parties Douglas Babcock, LMCD Chairman ~/~ ~/~~ Greg Nybeck, LMCD Executive Director Increase in Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka During the past year, the LMCD Board of Directors, the LMCD member cities, other agencies and interested parties, have been reviewing Lake Minnetonka's activity levels and changes in usage patterns. Notable changes have occurred in the area of charier boat licensing, specifically the increase to our maximum allowed number of full liquor licenses; and in area of increased size and scope of weekend anchoring at the north side of Big Island, including numerous, large, semi-organized events for which no LMCD Special Event permit was obtained. The Hennepin County Shedffs Water Patrol Division was especially concerned about the lack of Public Safety access to the Big Island area during these weekend timeframes. While some action has been taken by the District to help achieve a better balance for alt users and uses, like adding marked navigation lanes to the Big Island area, there still are a number of concerns being discussed by agencies and the public at large. The current concerns all hav~ brought forward a common thread, the need for increased law enforcement presence on the Lake, particularly during the summer season. Those of us familiar with the current state of enforcement on the Lake can easily conclude that the current levels and types of enforcement provided by the Water Patrol are of high quality and are very cost effective, especially when recognizing the volunteer Special Deputy program. But, we can also see that increasing full- time enforcement levels by during the summer months would do a great deal to improve the consistency of enforcement and the quality of experience for all aspects of lake use. At the June 28th regular meeting of the LMCD Board of Directors, a presentation was made by Orono Mayor Gabriel Jabbour proposing the need to explore additional Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Fatrol presence on Lake Minnetonka. A suggested course of action was to increase the presence by two full time Deputies, for five months, for the 200t boating season. After significant discussion, the attached LMCD Resolution 99 was adopted by the LMCD at this meeting. Two objectives are established in LMCD Resolution 99. They include: 1) the LMCD believes that a supplemental law enforcement program, partially funded by the LMCD, the member cities, and the private sector is needed and would be beneficial to Lake Minnetonka, and 2) the LMOD would agree to be the lead agency, in this type of endeavor. Web Page Address: http://www.winternet.com/-Imcd/ E-mail Address: Imcd@winternet.com LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT This proposal and resolution was carded forward to the Mayors meeting on June 30th, which included a wide range of local, regional and state representation. Representation included State Senator Gen Olson, State Representative Barb Sykora, Hennepin County Commissioner Penny Steele, a representative of Hennepin County Commissioner Mary Tambornino, and a number of Mayors from the Lake Minnetonka communities. The general consensus of those present at this meeting believed the idea made good sense and that it should be considered for the 2001 boating season. It was also agreed that any increase in enforcement should be in addition to maintaining the levels of funding and enforcement currently provided by the Water Patrol. In no way was any new program to shift the current levels and funding of enforcement from Hennepin County to the Cities. To keep the momentum moving forward on this proposal and to assist the cities with 2001 budget planning, the LMCD would like feedback from its member communities on it by Tuesday, August 15th. Specifically, we are looking for whether the member cities would support an increase of Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka for the 2001 boating season and whether they are willing to share in the costs for it. Possible funding mechanisms for the member cities to consider include voluntary contributions or by adjusting the maximum the LMCD can levy to its member cities in Minnesota Statutes 103B.635 by adoption of a resolution of % of the member cities (10 of 14 cities). It is estimated that the total costs for the increased presence of the Water Patrol for the 2001 boating season would be approximately $100,000. The share of the costs for each individual city would be determined using the existing LMCD levy formula. If a majority of cities were in support this proposal, the LMCD would create and lead a task force to formulate and finalize the details of this program. It would be our intent to present the results of the task force to all the member cities for approval before requesting any specific funding amounts for 2001. Please feel free to call LMCD Executive Director Greg Nybeck if you have questions or concerns regarding this proposal. Your timely response is greatly appreciated!

LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT August 18, 2000 TO: FROM: SUJECT: Board of Directors Greg Nybeck, Executive Director Update on increase of Water Patrol presence on Lake Minntonka from member cities At the 6/28/00 Regular meeting, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) Board of Directors received a presentation from Orono Mayor Gabdel Jabbour regarding the need to explore additional Hennepin County Shedffs Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka for the 2001 boating season. The proposed course of action was to increase presence on Lake Minnetonka by two full-time Deputies, for five months, at a cost of approximately $100,000. The LMCD Board supported the proposal from Mayor Jabbour and adopted LMCD Resolution 99 at the 6/28/00 meeting. This proposal was also discussed at the 6/30/00 Mayors meeting, with a general consensus that it made sense and should be considered for the 2001 boating season. The attached letter from Chair Babcock, dated 7/24/00, was forwarded to the member cities asking for feedback from them on the proposal. Specifically, the letter asks whether the member cities would support an increase of Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka for the 2001 boating season and whether they are willing to share in the costs for it. The letter requested feedback to the District office by Tuesday, 8/15/00. The attached follow-up letter, dated 7/25/00, was also forwarded to the member cities from Mayor Jabbour on the proposal. Because the 8/15/00 deadline for comments from the member cities has come and gone, staff would like to update the Board on feedback received. Wdtten feedback was received from the Cities of Excelsior, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, Mound, and Wayzata. Additionally, verbal feedback was received from the Cities of Greenwood, Orono, and Sprin9 Park. Staff has attached a copy of the letters received, for your review, from the member cities that have provided written feedback. Based on the feedback received, staff believes the majority of the member cities, that have provided feedback, support increased Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka for the 2001 boating season. Staff is not clear on the position of the City of Mound on this issue. With regards to whether they are willing to share in the costs of the proposal, there are mixed responses from the member cities. The Cities of Greenwood, Minnetonka Beach, Orono, Spdng Park, Tonka Bay, and Wayzata have indicated that they would be willing to share in the costs of this proposal. The Cities of Excelsior, Minnetrista, and Mound have indicated that they would not be willing to share in the costs of this proposal. Prior to the 8/23/00 Regular meeting, staff will attempt to get feedback from the member cities that have not responded to the proposal. Staff believes the Board needs to discuss what direction the District would like to take this proposal based on the feedback received from the member cities.

The Council also stated that it would not support the notion that murficipalities around Lake Minnetonka should pay axuytlfing toward an increased presence of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol on the lake. It believed that Hennepin County should pay to meet its obligation for the increased need to provide law enforcement services. Council did not want to "mix budgets" vdth flue County's and others' revenues for what would appear to be the new required level of Water Patrol services.

As thc licensing agency, LMCD may control the qu~tity and type of operation with no increase La law enforcement costs to member cffies. Violations could be addressed through the licensing controls. Should these commercial operations in some way cream ~e nell for mom police presence, those costs should be passed directly through to the licensee in the form of higher fe~.

It is the opinion of the Council that those agencies that place requOements on municipalities should bear the burden of the impacts. l~oint ~t4. It is a fact that cities surrounding Lake Minnctonka pay a greater share of ~e tax used to regulate Lake Minnetonka already. It is the opinion of the Council that marketing schemes that ckaw consumers from well outside the Mound area should be funded by the users (i.e., licensing fees or surcharges) which, in mm, will fund the co~t of increased water patrol. Licensing requirements could, in fact, require hired marine palzol as a condition of permit approval. LMCD member cities should not be expected to pay for increased law enforcement for thcs, types ofiake activities. Poini #$. If this i~crease were to pass by majority vote of the LMCD membership, the City of Mom'ad has two remaining concerns, i) It is critical that the two adflidonal officers be dedica.ted ro Lake Minnetonka and *aha! there are assurances that existing water patrol on Lake ML-metonka not be rotat~ m other loc, ation~. 2) An alert that LMCD's 33% participation in th/s program will result in a loss of services Io member cities otherwise pro~,-ided by those same dollars.

At its August 8th meeting, the Wayzata City Council discussed the Lake Mirmetonka Conservation District's (LMCD) request for LMCD member cities to subsidize the cost of two additional water patrol officers for Lake Minnetonka. Although further details and clarification is needed fi-om the LMCD before the Wayzata City Council can make a formal decision, the Council recognizes the need for additional water patrol staffing in response to the emerging public safety issue on Lake Minnetonka. The Wayzata Council is very concerned about the impact of the court's recent decision to limit the enforcement authority of the volunteer water patrol deputies. We all know fi-om experience that for many people rules and regulations are only as good as the perceived level of enforcement. Thus, if enforcement efforts decrease while boat traffic continues to increase, the concern is that the public's safety on Lake Minnetonka will become more at risk. The Wayzata City Council understands that public safety on Lake Mirmetonka is currently the primary responsibility of the Hermepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol. We also feel that the financial impact fi-om the increased traffic fi-om boaters who live off of Lake Minnetonka should not be paid by an increased burden on the tax base of the cities surrounding Lake Minnetonka. However, we also realize the complexity of financing public safety services on Lake Minnetonka. Thus, the Wayzata City Council is willing, in the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, to consider a one-year financial contribution for two additional water patrol deputies as long as the County Board commits to alternative long-term financial solutions that will reduce the burden on the general Lake Minnetonka area tax base for future funding increases. One long-term suggestion to consider would be to follow the policy at the Hennepin County parks where there is no fee for using the lake for swimming/fishing or using the trails, slides, swings, etc. but there is a fee to park your car. Similarly, LMCD member cities could require a Hennepin County park permit in order to park a boat trailer near a Lake Minnetonka public landing. Unlike County parks where County employees enforce the permit requirements, local police departments could be responsible for enforcing the permit requirements. The purpose of a City/County partnership would be to generate a Phone: 952-473-0234 Fax: 952-404-5318 e-mail: city~ayzata.org home page: www. wayzata.o fair, reasonable and efficient source of revenue that could be used by the County to offset the increased costs of additional water patrol officers on Lake Mirmetonka.

Regardless of thc ~ca~,x d~cse expenditures made prior to the issuance of bonds arc sul,ject ~o t~deral regulations on reimbursement bonds, h i~ essential that all issuers understand the key provisions of Ibc Regulations and N,xv they affect your bond issues] Q: Do the Regulations apply to all expenditures? A: The Regulations apply all capital t'xpcndi~urcs made before tax-exempt bonds are issued. Subjcc~ Regulations apply to all such cxpcndilurcq, i~tclutling land acquisition. There are two basic exccpl requirement" under the Regulations: (I) Planning, design and similar soft costs that must occur bet;,rc a pro?ct arc not subject to the Regulations. These "preliminary expentlil ures" may not exceed 20% of the issue; and (2) An $100.000 or 5% of the issue. Q: How do you declare intent? A: The declaration of intent musl bc in wri~iu~, h musl contain a general description of thc project ~, I,c tin:meed and maximum principal nmount of bonds expected t,, bc issued.

Louis Pa,'k. · Rcimbnrsement resolution adopted by governing body on a project-by-project basis. · Administrative action by staff based on authorizing resolution adopted by the governing body. · Declaration incorporated into other project related action, such as resolution ordering improvement under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. Regardless of the approach, it is essential that the t:, n~sideration of reimbursement be made part of every project. Failure to include reimbursement matters into the basic pr~ject approval process creates the risk that they will be overlooked. One approach to minimize this risk is to include rcimbu,'sement language as part of the documentation for every project. This approach does not mean that issuers should blindly declare intent for every project. Rather, issuer ~hould state the application of reimbursement for each p~, ~jcct: (1) no expenses will be reimbursed from bond pt,,ceeds, (2) bonds will be issued prior to making eligible expenditures, or (3) intent to reimburse is declared. Q: What time factors apply to the Regulations? A: Several important time factors govern reimbursement. The declaration of intent does not expire. There is no time limit between declaring intent and making reimbursable cxpcnditnres. The reimbursement clock begins ticking on the ,l;,c ~,l' thc reimbursable expenditure. The key time ct,nst tarots are as follows: · Declaration of intent must be made not more than 60 days after making the expenditure. · Bond proceeds must be allocated to reimburse Continued on Page 5 - ~ ~ 5::'~ .,~-~&7~,;,:~.i'::':-"'7 ..... .................. :- ......~e~'i,: '.-~ Interest Rate Outlook Appreciating the Upper Midwest 'Iht ,ulh,,,k t~I Iax- Some thoughts on local cxcmpl I,~,nd tim, l~t't,d5 li,r g,,vcrnment and public Iht rcmaindcr oI 2000. fin;race in our region.

Thc projected rents are less than $530 for one bedrooms and $640 tbr two bedrooms. Another important factor is that the City will retain a seat on the board of directors for thc new limited partnership ensure that the operation of the project meets expectations. "l'hc benefit of the City's financing to the project was significant. 'l'lw B. nds were rated "Aal" from Moody's Investors Service with a Icrm of 30 years and an average interest rate of under 5.85%. Ibc inlcrest rate on the Bonds was 1.5% to 2% lower than a l ypical btmsing revenue bond due to the City's strong credit r:, ing. The present value of the reduced interest cost was al~ptoximately $600,000 which leveraged an additional $600,000 ill other sources such as tax credits and other state and local fimding. The City's strong commitment to the project also i,dlueuced the Family Housing Fund, Minnesota Housing t:ma,~cing Agency and Metropolitan Council contributions to the I,n,jcct. 'Fherefore, the City's general obligation pledge delivered at Icas~ $1,200,000 of value to the project, plus a better ct mlpet ilive advantage in securing other state and local funds. If ~hc pr,ject operates properly, the City's actual funding to the project would be limited to the CDBG contribution. Several precautions were taken to reduce the risk to the City. Specifically, the City will have the following security provisions for tile project: · First mortgage on the rental units. · lhincipal amount of the mortgage of $4,505,000 and an appraisal after rehabilitation of $5,400,000. · A one year debt service reserve of $335,000 which was fl~,~ded by the Metropolitan Council. · A loan to a partnership which consists of PPL as general partner and a subsidiary of U.S. Bank as a limited partner. As a limited partner which will receive most of its benefit tlu'ough low income housing tax credits, U.S. Bank will work to ensure that no default on the agreement occurs. If a defiu,lt occurs and the City were to foreclose on the mortgage, U.S. Bank would lose up to $2,000,000 in federal tax credits. · Debt service coverage of approximately 120%. Combining such diverse funding sources together with a City general obligation bond which was competitively bid to the underwriting community made for a challenging project. As Mayor Jeff Jacobs stated, "Making the Louisiana Court project work was like holding five ping-pong balls underwater in a moving stream with one hand". The commitment of the City staff and (;~ nmcil and the expertise of PPL in affordable housing developments were the actual keys to the initial and expected on/going success of the project. 40% Market News This sit,,ation will cominm. 1;,, as hmg as the Fed remains Interest Rate Outlook hapl,carstmlikelythatanyrate increases will be considered boil)re thc November elections. Interest rates always play an important role in debt planning. Changing, and particularly rising rates increase the challenge of debt planning. You need an accurate, but not overstated analysis of the costs associated ~vith your project. You need to know when is the right time to issue the bonds. The past two years require careful attention to rate trends forecasts. After reaching historic lows in 1998, tax-exempt interest rates took a steep and steady rise. From September 1998 to January 2000, the Bond Buyer's 20-Year G.O. Index (the "BBI") increased 127 basis points. Over the summer, this trend has reversed. The BBI has fallen over 50 basis points from the peak in January. The essential question is "What's next?" It would be nice to have the answer. Unfortunately, no one knows. Ehlers staff spends lots of time reading, talking and listening to gain information that will help make the future clearer.

The actions taken (and not taken) by the Federal play a key role in determining tax-exempt interest rate~. On August 22, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Commiuce chose not to raise interest rates. Lingering concerns about inflation make future rate hikes a possibility. The cloud of the Federal Reserve will hang over the bond market and dampen a long-term trend of lower rates. Also remember that change.~ in rates for municipal bonds is a mix rd' perception and reality. IL,cs frequently rise in anticipation };cd action. _K_egl2 [~[cs_~! perspective.

Bob Ehlers, Ijust returned from vacation enjoying national parks of the fi~r west, the glacier strewn mountains of British Coluu~bia and the forest fires in Western Montana. Returning to the lqatlands Upper Midwest was certainly a change. The change is the appearance and vitality in communities. Small cities are continuing effort to maintain infrastructure. Streets are being upgraded, sewer and water distribution systems are being replacot as needed, and new schools and community buildings are being built. Economic development is a priority together with new housing stock. In the metropolitan areas there is redevelopment in older cities and their infrastructures are also being updated. the newer communities, planning is being done not only for today but the future. At the dawn of the twenty first century, communities are looking at communication facilities to remain vital. Why the difference from other parts of the country? Parl is the State of Minnesota's statutory authority to local governments t~, finance various types of improvements. It allows elected official~ to determine what and how to provide services. For instance many western States require more than a simple majority on bond referendums. Our statutory authorities are broader for financing local improvements, streets, sewer, water, etc. There are also mechanisms for financing buildings and equipment wil h~)]ll ~ fi lig through a bond referendum. Limits on debt are also less restrictive, allowing communities to do necessary capital pl'ojecls. In essence, local decisions are left with local elected officials. Cost effectiv~ financing tools are available should local officials determine there is a need. While legal tools are available, they do not do any good if not used. It is local officials using limited resources to make their communities viable places to live and work. It takes leadership, communication and pride. Leadership brings needs to forefront, then communicates those needs and why it is imp~ for the community to make the investment. Communi[y pride is the glue that makes it work. Ehlers & Associates is proud to be part of this upper Midwest vitality. We enjoy working side by side with community leaders addressing needs for new schools, better streets, upgrading sewer and water systems, developing funding options for municipal utilities and working on long range plans for future infrastrucl and other financial needs. As our clients needs change so have our services. Our work with cities on capital in~provemenl planning has evolved into a program we refer to as "Key Fi,rant]al Strategies".

This statement has never been more true. On June 30'", Ehlers completed the best two consecutive fiscal years in firm history. This success is remarkable when you consider the market conditions. During 1999, long-term interest rates rose over 100 basis points. The bond market was effectively shut down for six weeks because of Y2K concerns. Refundings disappeared, taking 20% of the bond volume in a typical year. The foundation of this success is you - our clients. Your decision to use Ehlers has made us the leaders in public finance.

We have recently completed what has been a very challenging budget cycle. All Hermepin County departments and offices have been directed to prepare 2001 budgets not to exceed 2% of tax revenues. In addition, the Sheriff's Office was forced to make further compromises in order to balance the demands of opening the new Public Safety Facility in August 2001. For the first time in this Administration, we have been forced to reduce law enforcement services in order to meet our mandated county budget guidelines. This is a painful decision for us and we acknowledge that it will place additional hardship upon your department, as well. We apologize for this inconvenience, but rest assured we will continue to support you in every way we are able. We ask for your understanding as we struggle to meet county financial goals. Should you have any questions in this policy change, please contact Inspector Bill Wilen at (612) 348-9650. S incer/e/l~j~ Patrick D.

Mound MN 55364 Dear Chief Harrell, My names is Thomas MacFarlane, on January 18'~ of this year our son Robert Ryan was killed in an automobile accident near the Black Lake bridge in your city. I would like to write and let you know just how much my wife my children and I appreciate the professionalism of your organization. The past nine months have been very difficult as you could imagine. Detective Alexander and the rest of your officers are to be commended. Working as a paramedic for North I've had the pleasure of working with your officers on several occasions and have never found them anything but professional. The efforts put forth by Detective Alexander from the day after the accident to the day of the sentencing helped our family cope and alleviated a lot of the pain and stress of the past nine months. Please let all of your staff ~know that they are in our prayers Thomas Macfarlane Checklist Council-Manager Relations In Small Communities Here are some tips for managers, mayors, and councils of small communities on how to improve their council-manager relations. For the Manager Professional and Personal Development [] Join ICMA and local and state city management professional associations, and attend local govern- ment management meetings, workshops, seminars, conferences, and special events. [] Attend local community functions sponsored by the chamber of commerce and governmental and civic organizations. [] Adopt a fle~ble work schedule, recognizing that the manager's job does not just last from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, plus attendance at council and committee meetings. [] Be relaxed, patient, and at ease in your work. There always are going to be problems and crises and never enough time to do everything that should be done! [~ Become a decisionmaker--a risk taker at times--rather than referring issues to the council, especially on matters other than broad policy questions. [~l Be a problem solver, with the help of the staff, on all matters involving local government. [] Develop a proactive, not just a reactive, approach in dealing with activities and problems, and come up with new ideas. Relationship with the Mayor and Councilmembers [] Treat all councilmembers equally, and send the same information to all members. If one councilmem- ber requests information, that information should be sent to the other members, too. [] Communicate With the mayor and councilmembers by using weekly newsletters, special memos/reports/letters, phone messages, and council study sessions. Especially, communicate to the council prior to each meeting, every letter, phone call, or contact that involves any potential for being brought up at the council meeting. ~-I Inform all councilmembers promptly and in writing about community activities, problems, and con- cerns, including citizen complaints and requests, before councilmembers hear about them from out- siders. [] Be available to all councilmembers at all times. Encourage them to write or call, even at your home if urgent. Be responsive to the councilmembers' needs and requests, and be flexible in adapting to the council as a group. The council should not have to adapt to the manager. [] Present citizen requests to the council, rather than have citizens appear at council meetings to make their own presentations without prior staff input. [] Be responsible for preparing council and committee agendas--with input from councilmembers and with agenda-supplementary materials containing background information, alternative courses of action, costs, and recommendations. [] Present to the council the following on each agenda item requiring council action: [] This is the situation. [] These are the facts. [] These are the alternatives, with estimated costs. [] This is the manager's recommendation. [~1 Spend as much time with councilmembers and citizens as necessary. Never try to limit their conversa- tions or give indications that you have more important things to do. [] Take leadership in dealing with council inquiries, instead of referring them to staff members for responses or action. [] Keep the mayor especially well informed about your activities. Give the mayor special attention, par- ticularly on sensitive matters likely to cause citizen concern or to come up at council meetings. 24 MARCH 2000 Checklist [] Volunteer to meet with the mayor preceding council meetings to discuss agenda items informally. This procedure will give the mayor an opportunity to receive answers and clarifications for his or her role as presiding officer of the meeting and offer you a chance to give further explanations or to respond to questions. [~ Carry out policies determined by the mayor and councilmembers, even when you do not agree with these policies. V-I Anticipate problems, and move to solve them without waiting for directions from the mayor or council. [] Orient new councilmembers both orally and in writing on activities, problems, and procedures (espe- cially on how you operate), and set up an orientation workshop for the council. Public Relations and Staff Relations [] Treat all residents equally--no special favors. [] Answer all complaints and inquiries promptly and courteously, and see that the staff does likewise. [~l Defend staff members when they are right, but not when they err. And work with the staff to help prevent mistakes, particularly on sensitive matters. [] Delegate and work as a team with department heads, but do not hesitate to override department heads when the public interest requires an override. [] Develop good employee relations and delivery of superior local government services. General Observations [] Recognize that the manager's priorities are first the mayor and elected officials, second the public, and third the staff. [] Prepare all written materials with accuracy and completeness, and anticipate questions from coun- cilmembers and residents, and trying to prepare answers even before the questions are asked. [] Have all legal documents reviewed by the local government's attorney. Also, make them available to the council well in advance of council meetings and not at the meeting or immediately preceding it. [] Rely heavily on the written word. There is less likelihood of misunderstanding. ~l Be flexible in the administration of local matters when common sense requires it. [] Retain all essential correspondence or documents for the community's files, and be extremely careful about discarding anything. [] Make documents available to councilmembers and residents when requested, unless documents are confidential, personnel-related, or restricted by law. For the Mayor and Council Team Relationship [] Consider yourselves the policymakers for the local government. ~ Set long-term and short-term goals and objectives as a team, and determine policies (taxes, service levels, oversight of the manager, and so on). [] Recognize that the mayor's role is as follows: - Acts as leader of the council, has high visibility within the community, and has closer contact with the manager than the councilmembers do. - Presides at council meetings, assisting councilmembers to reach decisions, interpreting and clarify- ing, and moving the discussion forward as well as bringing it to a conclusion. - Communicates and facilitates, serving as liaison and as consensus/communications coordinator between the councilmembers and the manager--with all parties being equally informed. - Organizes and guides policy, e.g., may advise the manager to bring more or less information to the council or may help resolve problems or misunderstandings between the council and the manager or between the public and the manager. - Maintains contacts and represents the community with other governmental officials and agencies inside and outside the community's boundaries. - Promotes the community. [~ Use committees occasionally to deal with specific problems or with major policy matters, but do not use standing committees. PUBLIC MANAGEMENT 25 Checklist [~ Be good listeners and team players; refrain from snap judgments; be able to "give" and "take" (disagree without being disagreeable); and act in the best interest of all the residents. Relationship with the Manager ~ Do not micromanage. Instead, let the manager manage the day-to-day governmental operations with- out your interference. Even ifvou don't like what's going on, tell the manager, not the staff member. [~ Recognize that the manager may have a difficult job trying to satisfy a diverse council, with individual councilmembers having varying expectations, but recognize that the manager's job is to try to adjust to the wishes of the council as a unit. [~1 Seek responses from the manager prior to the meeting if at all possible, not at the public meeting. [~1 Recognize that the role of the mayor and the councilmember is not to deal with the staff, except for purposes of inquiry or praise. [~ Handle all complaints through the manager, and ideally, funnel all local government matters through him or her. [~ Call the manager for responses to questions, complaints, or concerns. [~ Set the tone for the government (with the manager having the responsibility to adapt to that tone). {~ Learn what other localities are doing, perhaps by asking the manager to report on other communities' operations. {~ Deal with the local government's attorney only through the manager or mayor, unless you have dele- gated a councilmember to become involved in a particular legal matter. Individual councilmembers should not call the attorney. [~ Establish goals for the manager's performance by identifying improvements in management behavior and by holding manager performance reviews and evaluations at least once a year. ~ Provide a written critique for the manager, enumerating needed areas for improvement and establish- ing a time for completion of the improvements. Preferably, give the manager at least a year to accomplish the improvements. ~ Attempt to resolve the differing views of the mayor and councilmembers about what the relationship should be between the mayor and manager and between the councilmembers and the manager. Avoid giving the manager mixed signals from different councilmembers. Council Meetings ~ Recognize that agenda items are usually for one of three purposes: information, discussion, or decision. [~ Give council-meeting agenda items to the manager not later than one week before the council meeting. ~ Recognize that council meetings are council meetings, with the public as observers and in attendance to provide input when asked but not to participate freely in council discussion. ~-I Set approximate time limits on major agenda items, and announce at the outset a closing time for the meeting. Few worthwhile discussions occur or sound decisions are made after 10:00 p.m. or at meetings lasting longer than three hours. [~l Announce at the beginning of the meeting that audience participation will be limited to two to three minutes per person and that applause and jeering from the audience will not be permitted. [~ Avoid making commitments prior to a council decision, and take action only at council meetings. General Observations ~l Realize that you cannot be popular with everyone if you are to serve the greater public interest effectively. [~l Do not become involved in the day-to-day operations of the city, even though the mayor and coun- cilmembers may not have full confidence in the manager. Give the manager an opportunity to develop managerial skills without council interference in these administrative operations. ~ Recognize that councilmembers should neither expect nor receive special treatment for themselves, their families, or their associates. --Robert B. Morris ICMA Range Rider Glencoe, Illinois, and a Former Village Manager of Glencoe 26 MARCH 2000 DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT MINUTES MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 DRAFT Those present: Chair GeoffMichael; Commissioners: Orvin Burma, Becky Glister, Michael Mueller, Frank Weiland, and Council Liaison Bob Brown. Absent and excused: Commissioners Jerry Clapsaddle, Cklair Hasse, and Bill Voss; Staffpresent: Jon Sutherland, City Building Official and Recording Secretary Diana Mestad. The following public was present: Ted Oare, 1801 Resthaven Lane. Chair Michael welcomed the public and called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. MINUTES - APPROVA_L OF THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2000, MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. MOTION by Brown, seconded by Mueller, to accept the September 11, 2000, Planning Commission meeting minutes. MOTION CARRIED. 6-0. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Burma stated that at the September 11, 2000 meeting when discussing Case No. 00-48 Variance, Greg Petrich, he was concentrating on the hardcover issue and neglected to consider the issue of the 6 foot variance when he voted in favor of approving Staff's recommendation including a denial of the requested variance. Burma stated that he would be at the City Council meeting to explain that he is actually in favor of granting the variance in this case. BOARD OF APPEALS: 1.0 CASE #00-58: VARIANCE. TED OARE, 1801 RESTHAVEN L.adNE, LOT 11. BLOCK 12. SHADYWOOD POINT, PID #13-117-24 14 0016. Michael stated that he had spoken with the City Planner, Loren Gordon, about this case and they discussed the fact that the City Building Official, Jon Sutherland, had a better handle on this case. Brown stated that a decision in this case could change the City Code and that he felt the City Planner's input was necessary. Mueller asked for clarification on whether the City Planner felt it was unnecessary to be present for this case. Michael stated that he thought the City Planner had something else that he needed to do. Mound Planning Commission Minutes. September 25, 2000 DRAFT The City Building Official stated the City Planner would not be present, but that he was prepared to handle the discussion on this case. The City Building Official stated that the fire damage to the building on this property was greater than 50 percent of the assessed market value and that rebuilding it would require the new structure to meet the current code or the property owner could choose to apply for a variance. He further stated that the house, in its original footprint, do~s not meet the current 20-foot setback requirement to Sunset. Across the street fi.om this property, a newly constructed house was required to meet the 20-foot setback. In reference to the property owner's request for a variance to the Regulatory Flood Elevation Standard (RFPE), the City Building Official stated that the floodplain regulations stipulate "No variance shall allow a use prohibited in a district or permit a lower degree of protection than the RFPE. A variance shall not be granted for a residential structure to allow the construction of the basement or lowest floor below the RFPE." Staff cannot act on this request and is not asking the Planning Commission to do so. The City Building Official stated that these fn'e cases are some of the most difficult, and that included in the packet is a letter from the City Attorney and one fi.om the DNR referencing similar cases. The City Building Official stated that Staff is recommending the Planning Commission recommend approval of the side yard setback variance of 12.3 feet. Brown stated that most cases of this type involve the entire structure being burnt to the ground whereas in this case, it is only the interior of the structure that is damaged. The applicant is not asking to make the structure larger or different from the original. In reference to the regulations from the State Free Board, Brown stated that the flood plain on Lake Minnetonka is 931 and that this is a 100-year plan. He stated that page 18 of the packet showed that the building in question is not in the flood plain. He further questioned why the City is adding an additional one-foot over the amount required by the state and the federal government. Brov, m stated that these were questions he was hoping the City Planner would answer. The City Building Official stated that he was not sure the City Planner could have answered these questions and that Staff would attempt to investigate these before the Council meeting. Brown stated that page 17 of the packet showed that the highest water level is 930.5, which is lower than the state's 100-year requirement. He also stated that no change is being made to the existing variance and so this should be part of the streamline plan. 2 Mound Planning Commission Minutes, September 25, 2000 DRAFT Mueller stated that he agreed with Brown and that he felt it was the job of the City Planner.to deal with issues regarding Codes. He stated that pages 15 and 16 of the packet dealing with the flood plain is information received from the applicant and are filled out by a company in Tennessee that is paid by the lender. This company does not look at the actual property in question. He further stated that the level at one time was 933.5 and was brought down to 933. He felt it was necessary to get the research done by the parties that specified the 933 in order to make an informed decision on this. Mueller also stated that perhaps the DNR had no jurisdiction in this matter. The City Building Official stated that the shoreland ordinances require all variance cases in the shoreland zone be sent to the DNR. Brown stated that the similar cases cited involved rebuilding the houses and changing the original footprint, but that the property in question was built 25 years ago and would remain in its original footprint. He stated that he had gotten involved in this case because the Mound Plan set the requirement over what the state and federal government mandated. The City Building Official again pointed out the ordinance requiring the house to meet code if greater than 50 percent of the assessed value was destroyed by fire. He further stated that the streamlining provisions in the zoning ordinance do not apply in this case due to the fact that the ordinance has a minimum building elevation. The City Building Official stated that the Standard Flood Hazard Determination document on page 18 of the packet was incorrect in stating this building was outside the flood plain. Brown stated that he felt the City Building Official was giving false information in that according to the FEMA map, the house was not within the flood plain of either the federal requirement of 931 or the state requirement of 932. The City Building Official stated that the FEMA map requires 931, but that the Mound City Ordinance requires a two-foot free board. In order to protect the City's flood insurance program, the City must enforce the flood plain overlay. Mueller stated that he felt the ordinance requiring a structure be brought to code if 50 percent is destroyed is a good one in most cases. He also stated that the ordinance would not allow the Planning Commission to make a recommendation on the flood plain issue. Glister asked what number is being referred to in regard to the City's eligibility in the flood insurance program. The City Building Official stated that this refers to all the numbers including 931 and 933. Mueller requested a copy of the Code in question. The Building Official provided the city ordinance to the Commission. Mound Planning Commission Minutes. September 25. 2000 DRAFT Glister stated that she did not want the City flood insurance program put into jeopardy. Burma pointed out that page 8 of the packet clearly states that the Planning Commission has no jurisdiction over the 933 requirement and that this is not the variance being requested tonight. The City Building Official explained that the applicant applied for a variance to the flood elevation standard, but he advised them not to do so as this was not varianceable. It is okay for the Commission to discuss this, but the code section as he understands it, is not varianceable. Burma stated that whether or not action was taken in this case on the flood elevation standard, it was necessary to address this issue. Weiland stated that he remembered this discussion in the past, but could not remember why the extra foot was added. He questioned why the variance requested was 12.3 feet and not the 10 feet as he was calculating. The City Building Official explained the issue. Mueller confirmed from reading the Code that it was the City of Mound that established the 933 number and not the state or the federal government. The City Building Official stated that the federal government gives a model ordinance and that the staff and engineers in the local jurisdiction advise on the elevation, or amount of freeboard. Weiland stated that he remembered in the past that part of the determination of the number involved using the highest lake level of the three lakes (Dutch Lake) and adding to that number. He felt there were additional reasons that this number was used, but could not recall them. Mueller stated that there was nothing the Commission could do for the applicant on this issue and that the issue was the side yard setback. MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Glister, to recommend Council approval of the side yard setback variance of 12.3 feet. Discussion: Mr. Ted Oare, 1801 Resthaven Lane, the applicant in this case, addressed the Commission. He stated that the documents regarding the flood hazard determination are valid in that a lot of information is looked at and the companies that provide these are liable for any mistakes that are made. He further stated that Mr. Sims from the DNR has told him that his property is in flood zone C, which is not in the flood plain and, therefore, Mr. Oare feels that this ordinance should not affect him. The City Building Official stated that a portion of this lot was in fact in the flood plain where the lot met the lake. Brown agreed that part of the lot was in the flood plain, but the structure was not. Mound Planning Commission Minutes. September 25.2000 D AFT The City Building Official stated that the ordinance is specific as to the lowest floor plan elevation and this building is currently below the regulation. He stated that it was not possible to adhere to only one section of an ordinance, but rather that the whole ordinance needed to be followed. He stated that this has been reviewed with the City Planner, the City Engineer, and the city Attorney and he was not aware of any variances being granted in the past. The applicant asked what the starting elevation was on the other houses that were rebuilt. The City Building Official stated that he did not have the information without research. Brown stated that while the house does not meet Mound's standard of 933, it is above both the 931 and 932 mandated by the federal government and the state. The City Building Official stated that the whole ordinance is applicable including the City's standard of 933. Michael stated that this was not the proper format to discuss this as there was no City Planner, City En~neer, or City Attorney present and specifically that the Commission had not been asked to decide this issue by Staff. He further stated that the issue needed to be decided by the City Council. The applicant pointed out that it would cost him $40,000 to meet the ordinance. He also stated that in his discussions with the DNR, they told him that they had no jurisdiction over this. Mueller explained to the applicant that the Planning Commission could not help him with this issue, but that the City Council would be able to make a decision. Michael called the question. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Motion carried. Brown asked Michael whether the Commission would like him to recommend to Council that this should come back to the Planning Commission so the ordinance could be reviewed. Michael stated that he would recommend that the City Council table this issue as there was not enough time to give hard thought to the issue before making a decision. Brown stated that if the City Planner and City Attorney were available to answer questions, he did not want to further inconvenience the applicant. Mueller stated that he wished to discuss this further with the applicant after the meeting. Burma stated that he recommended that Brown find out how much leeway is allowed and that Council direct the Planning Commission to consider the issue of what the free board mark should be. Mound Planning Commission Minutes, September 25. 2000 D~ AFl Michael stated that the Planning Commission would also need the support of the City Engineer in making this determination. INFORMATION: 1.1 ORDINANCE #103-1999. ADOPTED 8-9/99. Mueller stated that he was not in favor of this ordinance, but that nothing could be done at this point. Michael asked whether all Commissioners had received their invitation for the upcoming Appreciation Night sponsored by the City. It was confirmed that all had received an invitation.

PUBLIC HEARING · Mr. Miles Canning, variance application from LMCD Code for side setback requirements and an adjusted dock use area. Babcock opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. He asked the applicant for comments and background on the proposed application. Mr. Miles Canning, 21100 Excelsior Blvd., made the following comments: · He has lived in the house at this residence for the last 10 years and has performed a wide variety of public service in the Lake Minnetonka area. He stated that he generally uses the lake on a daily basis and that he currently has a problem with dock usage at his residence because it does not comply with Code requirements. · He has submitted an application for variance from LMCD Code for side setbacks and an adjusted dock use area because the dock usage does not comply with the ordinances. He added that his property is in area of St. Albans that has concave shoreline with many properties being irregular. · There has been some change in seven or eight households in the immediate area. Three or four of them have had the same residents for the last 10 years. The remaining three or four properties have changed ownership a total of 12 times over the last five years. · He stated that he has made application to maintain a dock that has been installed in Lake Minnetonka for a number of years. He noted that the proposed site has approximately 11.39' of lakeshore frontage at the ordinary high water mark. He added that the proposed dock and boat to be stored would be contained within the authorized dock use area; however, it would not meet minimum side setback requirements. He stated that he believed the proposed application would provide modest and reasonable access to the lake. · A lagoon that was part of his property was sealed up in the late 1960's. He responded to a concern raised by one of his neighbors that approval of the variance would infringe upon his lakeshore frontage. He noted that he has reduced the dock length at his site by 32' since he purchased the property and that he has moved the location of the dock towards the property owner to the west. He stated that he has stored one watercraft at this dock for a number of years and that he would agree in wdting to continue this. · He encouraged the Board to approve the proposed variance. He entertained questions or comments from the Board. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 3 McMillan asked Canning for the boat size to be stored at the proposed dock. Canning stated that he has a 21.5' long pontoon boat with a 94" wide beam. He added that the proposed dock width is 40". Foster asked for further description of the lagoon that was filled in. Canning stated that the lagoon used to extend approximately 58' in from the lake and was originally used for the rental of smaller watercraft, such as rowboats. He added that one property to the east, the Johnson's, has lakeshore frontage, and that a second property to the east, the Lent's, does not have lakeshore frontage. Babcock stated that in the staff memo, there was a recommendation that additional survey work might need to be conducted to include the abutting property owners that could be affected by the proposed variance application. He added that he concurred with the recommendation. Mr. Jason Johnson, 5600 Maple Heights Road, stated that he is the abutting property owner to the east and that he believed that some of the information presented has been factually incorrect and that he would like to clarify this information. He noted he believed that the lagoon issue is immaterial because it was filled in well before they moved in at their property approximately three years ago. He stated that he has not challenged the right of Mr. Canning to dock a watercraft; however, he expressed concern with the actual amount of shoreline, 6', compared to the amount of shoreline at the ordinary high water mark, approximately 12'. He added that the property owner to the west has recently been purchased and that he believed that there are some docking concerns associated with it. Babcock clarified that the Distdct would review the proposed variance application with the assumption that there is approximately 12' of continuous shoreline at the ordinary high water mark. Johnson continued that the proposed area of St. Albans Bay has a number of smaller, pie-shaped lots that could have docking rights impacted by the proposed variance application. He expressed concem that Canning might want to use the other side of the dock for a rental watercraft. Skramstad asked Johnson for clarification on how much lakeshore frontage he owned. Johnson stated that he owned 41' of takeshore frontage. He concluded that he would like things to work out equitably and that he would like to maintain his property dghts. Foster asked Johnson to explain the easement dghts of the property owned by Mr. Lent. Johnson stated that Mr. Lent previously owned both of the properties and he granted himself an easement with the property that has riparian rights to maintain docking rights on one side of the dock. Wed stated that he had visited the site recently and that four restricted watercraft were being stored at the Johnson site. He added this included two restricted watercraft owned by the Johnson's, one by Mr. Lent, and one by the tenant in the rental home owned by Mr. Lent. He noted that he believed that this storage is illegal because the Code only allows four restricted watercraft to be stored at the site, if they are all owned and registered to the residents of the site. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 4 LeFevere stated for maximum boat storage purposes at the Johnson site, the Code does not take into account whether or not there are easements granted to another property. He noted that he believed the easement granted to Mr. Lent is irrelevant and that the Code would allow only two boats to be stored at this site, provided that the owner or occupant of Lent site stores a restricted watercraft at this site. He added that if the outside watercraft stored at the Johnson site is removed, four restricted watercraft could be stored, provided they are all contained within the authorized dock use area. Mr. Jim Wicka, 5165 Greenwood Circle, stated that he was a resident of St. Albans Bay in the City of Greenwood. He noted that he believed that the variance process with the District is a slippery slope because the demand to approve variance requests for the storage of watercraft increases as property values around the lake increase. He encouraged the Board to be critical in its thought process when reviewing proposed variance applications and he questioned whether the proposed application has a physical hardship associated with it. He concluded that he believed the applicant could dock at the municipal docks managed by the City of Greenwood. Mr. Dan Reece, 21170 Excelsior Blvd., spoke in favor of the proposed variance application. He stated that Mr. Canning is asking for approval to continue a dock that has been installed in the lake for a number of years. He added that he believed all riparian owners should have the right to place a dock in the lake, subject to it being stored within the extended side site lines. Mr. Morton Lent addressed the easement agreement he has with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. He stated that it was drawn up by his attorney and recorded, and it allows him unimpeded access to the south side of the dock. He believed that the lagoon issue is irrelevant to the proposed variance application and that he registered the Johnson property some years ago. He stated that he believed the current situation is providing him impeded access because his tenants boat is parked behind his. Babcock stated that if the parties believe there is impeded access at the Johnson dock as indicated to by Lent, he believed it should be resolved by the affected parties. Foster stated that it appears that there are too many boats being stored at the Johnson property and that there might be some navigational problems with the inner BSU on the south side of the Johnson dock because the Canning proposed dock is too close to the common side site line. Nybeck stated that staff has inspected docking at the proposed and abutting sites and it appears that the dock and boat storage at the Johnson property is not contained within its authorized dock use area. Ms. Jeannie Bowers-Stead, 21600 Fairview Street, stated that she had worked with the Board some years ago on resolving some dock issJes at an inside corner site. She noted a large amount of money and time was spent in resolving these issues and that if the Board views the proposed Canning vadance application as a grandfathering issue, she stated she would like similar treatment and she requested the Distdct to refund the funds received in reviewing her application. Mr. Bill Riley, 21560 Pineview Court, stated that he is a resident of Greenwood and that he believed the municipal dock program is not an option because of the long waiting list for the spaces available at these docks. He added that he believed the applicant, who is paying property taxes to live on the lake, has every dght to install a dock and store a boat at it. 4 7o Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 5 Lent stated that he believed one possible compromise that might solve some docking concerns at the three proposed propedies would be a combined dock. Babcock stated that the Code allows properties to combine shorelines for the purposes of a single, common dock, provided dock length restrictions and side setback requirements from the extended side site lines are complied with. He questioned whether the outer extended side site lines of the Canning and Johnson properties would still not converge within 60' from the ordinary high water mark of the shoreline. He stated that he believed additional survey work would need to be conducted, with the possibility that an adjusted dock use area variance might still need to be granted by the District. Canning stated that he has intentions to limit boat storage at his site to one boat within the extended side site lines. He added that he had no intentions of renting a watercraft and that he would be agreeable to this if a variance is granted. There being no further comments, Babcock closed the public hearing at 8:10 p.m Wert stated that he believed this is a complicated issue and that the Board cannot come up with a clear answer this evening. He recommended that it be sent back to staff to set up a meeting with all affected parties to explore whether there is an agreeable solution that could be mediated with all parties. He added that he would be willing to assist staff in this process. Babcock stated that he would favor that recommendation. Foster stated that he also would be willing to assist in this process. Skramstad stated that he believed the three immediate properties to the west could be affected by the proposed variance application and that they should be included in this process. Partyka stated that he believed this process needs to take into account the easement arrangement that the Johnson property has with Mr. Lent. Foster asked Canning what prompted him to submit the proposed variance application. Canning stated he recently received a copy of a letter from Mr. Lent to Mr. Johnson talking about a dispute, with both parties threatening legal action. Johnson encouraged the Board to keep any legal issues he might have with Mr. Lent separate from the proposed vadance application submitted by Canning. Mr. David Lawrance, 21150 Excelsior Blvd. stated that he supported the proposed vadance application, as long as it does not affect his authorized dock use area. He questioned whether there is a need to get him involved in the process if the Board determines to send the proposal back to staff. MOTION: Foster moved, Gilman seconded to refer the proposal back to staff to coordinate a meeting with the parties involved, and Board members Foster and Weft, to mediate a solution that is agreeable to all parties, and to direct staff to notify the applicant that an additional 60 days is needed to process proposed applications. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 6 VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. WATER STRUCTURES A. Mr. George Fougeron, consideration of variance application from LMCD Code for side setback requirements and an adjusted dock use area. Babcock stated Foster was directed by the Board to work with staff in mediating the proposed variance application with the applicant and the affected abutting property owners. He noted that Foster has initiated this mediation and he asked for an update on the progress. Foster stated that he met with the applicant and the neighbor to the south since this agenda item was discussed at the last meeting. He noted that the neighbor to the north, Mr. Tim Becker, was unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts. He added that a revised site plan has been submitted by the applicant that he believed meets the requirements of the abutting property owner to the north. He stated that the neighbors to the south agreed to the revised site plan at the on-site meeting. He concluded that he had directed LeFevere to prepare Findings of Fact and Order for approval of the variance application. Babcock asked Foster why the dock use area extended 40' into the lake when only a 24' long boat is to be stored at this dock. Foster stated that the Fougeron dock site is an inside corner and that there is a need to ensure navigation to their dock, especially on the north side. Babcock stated that he would like the record to reflect that the dock from the property to the north could be installed to the closest point of the 40' long authorized dock use area variance for the Fougeron property. MOTION: Foster moved, Wert seconded to approve the Findings of Fact and Order for Mr. George Fougeron for variance from LMCD Code for side setback requirement and an adjusted dock use area. Babcock stated that he would like to hear from both the applicant and Mr. Becker on the revised site plan. Mr. Cheryl Fougeron, 1701 Baywood Lane, stated that she and her husband met with Foster and that they agree to the revised site plan. Mr. Tim Becker, the abutting property owner to the north, stated that he was happy with the revised site and that it should resolve the docking problems. Babcock stated that he would like a prohibition of canopies added to condition 2 in the Order. He recommended this as a friendly amendment. Foster and Wert agreed to this. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. B. Mr. Steve Coddon, consideration of variance application from LMCD Code for side setback requirements and an adjusted dock use area. Babcock opened the agenda item by asking staff to bring the Board up to date on it. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 7 Nybeck stated that the Board conducted a public hearing at its 7/12/00 meeting for a site with approximately 25' of continuous shoreline at the ordinary high water mark in the northwest comer of Harrisons Bay with a lagoon adjacent to it. He noted there were some ingress and egress issues into the lagoon and the Board tabled the application to allow staff to work with the applicant to provide additional information. He stated that the applicant has provided more detailed information on the survey to show the big picture in the area and they have worked with the three townhome associations in the area to investigate whether there is an alternative site plan for the applicant that all parties could agree to. Mr. Martin Garden, 1760 Commerce Blvd., spoke on behalf of Port Harrison Harbor Townhomes. He stated that an agreement has been signed by all parties affected by the proposed application. He noted in addition to the applicant, this includes Mr. John Pastuck, the developer, and the three townhome associations. He stated that an amended site plan, which moves the proposed site plan to the south, would not affect ingress and egress into the lagoon area. He noted boat storage at the proposed dock would allow for two, 25' long docks for a twinhome development. He stated that the main walkway of the townhome association to the south, Harrison Harbor, could still be used for gassing of watercraft and for visitors. He added that Mr. Pastuck has agreed to have the two owners of the twinhomes sign an agreement stating that they are aware of the signed agreement he just reviewed. He entertained comments or feedback from the Board. Mr. Dave Beedie, a member of the Harrison Harbor Townhome Association, stated that they have no problem with the revised site plan. He acknowledged that the revised site plan encroaches on their ripadan dght and that they would like no further encroachment. He stated that they would like a prohibition of canopies at the proposed docks. Wert asked LeFevere if the agreement could filed on the title of the twinhomes at this site. LeFevere stated for legal purposes, the Findings of Fact and Order for approval of the variance request would stand alone. He added if the Board desires to have future owners aware of the agreement that has been presented, it could be done through a declaration recorded against the property. Foster stated that he likes the idea of placing the agreement on the title of the twinhome properties. Babcock questioned whether the Hardson Harbor Twinhome Association would like the vadance granted into perpetuity or whether they would like the opportunity to review it annually. Garden stated that the agreement has been set up to require new owners to sign a form indicating that they would abide the agreement as a condition of purchasing one of the twinhomes. He concurred with the idea presented by LeFevere to codify the agreement against the title into perpetuity. LeFevere stated if the applicant filed the declaration of restrictions against the use of this property., this would put purchasers on notice when they buy the property. MOTION: Foster moved, McMillan seconded to direct the attorney to prepare Findings of Fact and Order for approval of a side setback and adjusted dock use area variance for Mr. Steve Coddon, taking into consideration the agreement and new survey work submitted by the applicant. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 8 Babcock expressed concern whether 25' of shoreline, on a lakewide basis, is sufficient to store two watercraft. He stated that the dock use area and side setback requirements are being adjusted to accommodate for this example. He also expressed concern about the double counting of shoreline because the shoreline to the south is dedicated to the Harrison Harbor Twinhome Association multiple dock license. LeFevere stated that the counting of shoreline is used when determining the number of watercraft that can be stored using the 1:50' General Rule. He noted the applicant is entitled to store two watercraft by the Code because it is a platted lot. He stated that applying District ordinances at this particular piece of property creates the hardship at the proposed site. He added that the Board could determine that the hardship at this site is also created by the limited amount of shoreline at this site and that the Board needs to determine what is reasonable. Babcock expressed concern that this might set a precedent for narrow lots on a lakewide basis. Partyka stated that he believed the proposed vadance application is for a specific situation with specific boundaries. He bel;eved that every vadance should be treated this way and that it does not set a precedent on a lakewide basis. LeFevere stated that whenever adjusted dock use area variances affect the adjacent property, that adjacent property is subject to the District density regulations. He added the question whether two boats should be stored at this site is legitimate and the Board needs to determine whether it is reasonable. Beedie expressed some concern that the vadance would be granted in perpetuity. He stated that he would like future owners to have the opportunity to address and alter variances with the Board if needed. Babcock stated that he believed a problem could occur if the residents of the twinhomes purchase the property with the assumption that the variance is granted in perpetuity and the Harrison Harbor Townhome Association residents change their minds in the future. He noted it is very difficult for the Distdct to rescind a variance in the future when a previous Board has already approved it. Foster stated that the concept that the variance would be granted in perpetuity is not included in the motion. VOTE: Ayes (9), Nayes (1, Babcock); motion carried. C. Additional business. There was no additional business. 2. FINANCIAL A. Audit of vouchers (8/16/00 - 8/31/00) & (9/1/00 - 9/15/00). Nelson reviewed the audit of vouchers for payment as submitted. He stated that check # 2761, in the amount of $535.00, to Daniel Murray should be added to the vouchers for payment. MOTION: Foster moved, Gilman seconded to approve the audit of vouchers for payment, adding check # 2761, in the amount of $535.00, to Daniel Murray. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page9 VOTE: Ayes (9), Abstained (1, Babcock); motion carded. B. July financial summary and balance sheet, Nelson reviewed the July financial summary and balance sheet as submitted. MOTION: Foster moved, Gilman seconded to accept the July financial summary and balance sheet as submitted. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. C. Additional Business, Nelson stated that a CD recently matured at Wells Fargo Bank and that it has been re-invested. He added that staff has prepared a memo that summarizes the investments of the District. 3. LAKE USE & RECREATION A. Discussion of 7/20/00 letter from Edward Ferlauto regarding the establishment of no-wake zones in Gideon Bay. The Board discussed the request from Mr, Fedauto for the establishment of no wake zones in Gideon Bay south south of Frog Island. The Board discussed that this might be an appropriate area for the establishment of a quiet waters area. The consensus of the Board was to refer this back to staff for further analysis. C. Update on Proposal to increase Water Patrol presence for the 2001 boating season. Babcock introduced the agenda item by asking for an update from Foster. Foster · reported on the following: A meeting was held at the Sheriffs Water Patrol office, with a wide range of local and regional representation, on 8124100. He noted there was significant discussion on why there is a need for increased Water Patrol presence on the lake and that he believed it is outlined in the 9/12/00 letter that was sent out. He stated that this includes that there has been a cultural change of boating activities on Lake Minnetonka, that there has been a significant reduction in patrol hours due to increased complexity of processing violators, and the need to prepare for the Special Deputy litigation that is currently being reviewed by the Minnesota State Supreme Court. The proposal would cost approximately $100,000, with 50% coming from Hennepin County, 30% from the LMCD member cities, and 20% through the LMCD "Save the Lake" fund. He acknowledged that this is a working idea and that it might need to be re-worked if the funds are not received from Hennepin County or some of the member cities. He suggested that the Board should discuss whether they are willing to contribute $20,000 from the "Save the Lake" fund for this proposal. He stated that if this proposal is going to work, he believed the Distdct needed to make a two-year commitment. He entertained questions or comments on the proposal. Nybeck cladfied for the Board that legal interpretation from LeFevere has indicated that contributions for 2001 would be voluntary because the District budget for 2001 has been adopted and certified by the Board by the July 1 deadline. He stated that this could be mandated for the 2002 budget if % of the member cities agree through Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 10 resolution to an adjustment to the maximum levy the District could forward. LeFevere stated that voluntary participation for 2001 would require a joint powers agreement with multiple parties that would agree that the Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol would provide additional law enforcement services. Wert asked what would happen if some of the member cities do not want to participate for the 2001 boating season. Foster stated that there were some member cities that agreed with the idea of additional Water Patrol presence on the lake for the 2001 boating season; however, they did not want to participate in the funding of this. He noted there might be some shortfall that would need to be addressed. Ambrose stated that he believed that the additional information that has been prepared would be helpful to the member cities. He added that the City of Wayzata believes that this is a regional or state issue; however, they would be willing to participate on a one-year basis to get the program moving forward. Babcock stated that if the proposal is to move forward, he believed it should be done on a long-term basis that is sustainable. He questioned whether using "Save the Lake" funds is sustainable. Foster stated that the Water Patrol has offered to continue their services in a normal range. He added that if the member cities would like a high level of enforcement on the lake to deal with quality of experience issues, such as noise enforcement, the member cities and the region need to assist in paying for it. Partyka stated that there has been some perception in Minnetdsta that the lake is not safe and that there is a need for additional Water Patrol presence on the lake. He added that the City of Minnetrista believes that Hennepin County should provide this, not the local cities. Babcock stated that he believed that there has been some previous data that states that 60% of those that use the lake are from the member cities, that 30% are from within Hennepin County, and that the remaining 10% come from outside Hennepin County. He added that these figures have not been located; however, he believed they are referenced in the Management Plan. He noted that based on these figures, he believed the proposed breakdown of the costs, especially the 50% contribution from Hennepin County, appears to be reasonable. He stated that he believed the dollars spent by the cities would directly benefit the residents of that city. MOTION: Foster moved, McMillan seconded to authorize up to $20,000 of"Save the Lake" funds, for the next two years to support additional Hennepin Sheriff's Water Patrol presence, or 20% of the aggregate commitment of Hennepin County and the member cities. LeFevere stated that more appropriate language for the motion might be to authorize up to $20,000 of "Save the Lake" funds, for two years, to support additional Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol, provided satisfactory agreement can be reached for participation by LMCD member cities and the county. Foster stated that he liked the language from LeFevere better and he recommended that as a fdendly amendment. McMillan agreed to this. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 11 VOTE: Motion carded unanimously. D. Additional Business. Them was no additional business. 4. EWM/EXOTICS TASK FORCE B. 8/11/00 EWM/Exotics Task Force meeting report. Nybeck reported that a number of topics were discussed at this meeting. These included: · The George E. Olson letter that outlined the fragmented milfoil problem they have on their shorn line in Carman Bay. He noted that the Task Force reviewed options to keep their shoreline clean, other than placing a fence in the lake. · Them was discussion of the 2000 LMCD EWM Harvesting Program, with discussion on whether weevils could be transplanted from one ama of the lake to another. He noted that Dr. Newman was instructed to provide a scope a work, with an objective, to be accomplished on this potential project. · Reports were mceived from the MN DNR, Hennepin Parks, and Dick Osgood from the Lake Minnetonka Association. Babcock stated that the media has reported that the zebra mussel has found its way to a madna on the St. Cmix River and that he believed dives have been conducted to vedfy the significance of the infestation. Skramstad asked staff for an update on the mbuttal letter that,was to be sent out in msponse to the Lake Minnetonka Association (LMA) Newsletter. Nybeck stated that a rebuttal letter has been forwarded to the LMA office and that it was to be published in the next LMA Newsletter. The Board directed staff to forward a copy of the rebuttal letter for their information. C. Additional Business. Them was no additional business. ADMINISTRATION B. Discussion of LMCD quorum policy require ments. Babcock introduced the agenda item by asking for some background on it. LeFevem stated occasionally them is not a quorum present at a meeting. He noted under the by-laws and typical rules of parliamentary procedure, the Board can only convene to adjourn when this occurs. He added it was suggested by Foster to consider reducing the number for a quorum so that this would not occur as often. He stated that this has been researched and that only the legislature could do this, not the Distdct itself. He noted that Foster has recommended that the Board consider amending its by-laws to allow the Board to convene as a committee of the whole if a quorum is not present. He added that this would allow public hearings to be conducted, it would allow Board discussion, and it would allow the committee to make m commendations to the Board at a futura meeting that has a quorum. He stated that this basically would be a committee meeting. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 Page 12 Foster stated that ho believed it was an embarrassment for the District when a quorum was not present at the second Board meeting in August. He added when it was determined that a quorum could not be reduced, he stated he believed a committee meeting could be held to take care a lot of the routine business. He suggested that minimum number of Board members, such as three, should be present at the meeting in order to do this. He recommended that he believed it would be appropriate for the Board to direct LeFevere to change the by-laws to allow for this to occur. The Board discussed the idea of the District having the opportunity to hold a committee of a whole when there is not a quorum present at a Board meeting. There was some concern raised that changing the by-laws to allow this might encourage a greater incidence of Board meeting that do not have a quorum because it removes the urgency to attend the meetings. The Board stated that has already occurred informally, without changing the by-laws. There was discussion that the Board needs to communicate to the District office when they are unable to attend Board meetings. There was also some discussion for the need to hold a public hearing, without a quorum, when it has been legally advertised. MOTION: Foster moved to direct the attorney to prepare changes to the by-laws to allow for a committee of the whole, per Board discussions, when a quorum is not present at a Board meeting. The motion failed due to the lack of a second. C. Additional Business. Skramstad asked for an update on the discussion at the Mayor's meeting regarding increasing the number of intoxicating liquor licenses that could be issued on Lake Minnetonka. Nybeck stated that he believed this would be placed on the agenda at a future Mayor's meeting. Skramstad asked if there is a process for recognizing past Board members. Babcock stated that this is generally done at the "Save the Lake" Recognition Banquet Dinner each February. Nelson asked if there is any expression from the Board to the family of an ex-Board member who has deceased. MOTION: Nelson moved, Gilman seconded to direct the Chair to wd(e a letter to the family of Bob Rascop expressing the sympathies of the Board. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 6. SAVE THE LAKE McUillan stated that the Lakescaping Workshop planned for this fall on Long Lake was recently held. She added that a "Save the Lake" Advisory Committee meeting is planned for Wednesday, 10/4/00, and that the next solicitation letter should be sent out in the near future. Gilman suggested that interested Board members and the public attend the BeanFest musical festival planned in Excelsior on Saturday, Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting September 13, 2000 7, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT ~ Nybeck stated that the lake level as of 8/28/00 was 928.07'. Partyka updated that the most recent lake level reading as of 9/13/00 was 927.89'. 8. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. 9. NEW BUSINESS Wert suggested that the District might want to consider investigating the idea of holding future Board meetings at the Shorewood City Hall. 10, ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Chair Babcock adjourned the meeting at 10:02 p.m. Page 13 DoUglas Babcock, Chairman Eugene A Partyka, Secretary
