Council meeting in my place. Gino will be Acting Manager in my absence. He will attend the Jan 22 /46. 2002 Fees MetroPlains will be present to present their case for why they should not be subject to certain fees being proposed. More importantly, it is time for Mound to bring its fees in line with other cities in the area and similar sized cities, so that it can adequately recoup its costs in connection to development and land use activities. We are now doing a good job of tracking and collecting from the customer those costs associated projects, thus saving the taxpayer from the cost of improvements that only benefit the user. Additionally, fees that are annotated and need discussion and action are those that have raised questions in previous meetings. Fees that are recommended are based on those charged by area cities and similar sized cities. The Liquor License fee is considered by staff to be substantial and warrants Council input. It is my recommendation that this fee be in place before we receive our first request for a liquor license so that the fee is not set, in part, based on the identity of the applicant involved. #10 & 11. Union Agreements These proposed agreements, which were mirrored after the Patrol Officers agreement, have the split increases, and emphasis on insurance and uniforms. The groups accepted them unequivocally. Approval of these agreements implies the same increase for non-union employees. With these agreements, wages and all employee benefits are all uniform--an administrative blessing and good for morale! #14.D. Skate Park Committee Request The Skate Park Committee is preparing to accept donations for the construction of the park. In order to make donations tax deductible, they must be received by a qualified non-profit. As the owner of the skate park, it is suitable that the City be the fiscal agent for the fund raising, until a qualified booster organization is in place. The City will commit to serving that function unless I hear the contrary from members of the Council.

MetroPlains Development LLC has been working with the City of Mound on the redevelopment of the former Westonka School site into commercial and residential since early 2000. During this time we were quoted that these charges were $1000/unit/charge. Since that time, the charges were again increased at the beginning of 2001 to $1150/unit/charge. We would ask the City of Mound to allow MetroPlains Development to retain the current costs of $1150/unit/charge. MetroPlains has had preliminary plat approval of this project and a development agreement with the City of Mound since January 23,2001. This project is ready to begin construction upon the final approval of the EAW. We ask that you please consider our request that projects, which are already in the pipeline, retain the current water and sewer trunk charges. This project has already incurred additional expense due to changes in the TIF law and would be greatly hampered by this increase. PI~ se contact me if you would like to discuss.

The City is authorized by City Code 800.05, Subd. 2, to issue no more than three Class A (On-sale, hotel and restaurant) licenses. No Class B (Sunday Sales) licenses will be issued to anyone other than a licenses holding a valid Class A license. The current fee for the on-sale liquor license is $4,5001year. This fee seems in line with what other cities our size are charging, but substantially lower than our neighboring, smaller cities. Per the 2001 Association of Metropolitan Municipalities Fee Survey, here are some fees of smaller, neighboring cities (under 2,500 population): City of Spring Park charges $9,050/year; Excelsior charges $10,000/year; Long Lake charges $6,000/year. Bill Weeks of Spring Park stated that they receive opposition to the size of their fee, but justify it because of the expense that come from enforcement - mainly police time. I'm enclosing a copy of the fee survey for your reference. To raise the on-sale liquor license fee, a public headng must be held by the Council. There is a requirement to mail notice to affected licensees at least 30 days before the date set for the hearing. We don't have any affected licensees at this time. There is no state requirement for publishing the notice. You may want to bring this to the Council's attention, in effort to be pro-active regarding this issue. If you need any additional info, please let me know. printed on recycled paper -193- LIQUOR ON-SALE CITIES 0 - 2,500 Excelsior 10,000 Long Lake 6,000 Spring Park 9,050 Woodland na CITIES 2,500,10,000 Affon 1,000 Arden Hills 3,300/1,999 sf or less 4,400/2,000- 2,999 etc. Bayport 1,000 Circle Pines 5,000 Corcoran 3,300 Dayton 3,000 + 200/Sunday East Bethel 2,500 Falcon Heights 4,000 Farmington 2,750 Forest Lake 2,500/on sale 100/off sale Ham Lake 4,000 Hugo 1,600 Independence 3,500 Lauderdale na Little Canada 2,750 Mahtomedi 2,100 Medina 6kJgk + sq ft 5k/3k-9k sq ft 4,000/<3k sq ff New Prague 2,300 Newport 2,500 200/Sunday liq on-sale Norwood Young A 1,200 Oak Grove 3,500 Oak Park Heights 3,000 Orono 4,000 Osseo 5,500 Rockford 3,600 Shorewood 7,500 Spring Lake Park 5,200 St. Anthony na St. Francis 4,000 St. Paul Park 2,500 Victoria 3,300 Watertown 1,250 Wayzata 8,000 CITIES 10,000 - 20,000 Andover Anoka Chanhassen Chaska Columbia Heights Hastings Hopkins Lino Lakes Mendota Heights Mounds View 4,000/yr 5,000 city has detail 4,275 6,500-8,000 + first time inv.

Attest: Bonnie Ritter, City Clerk Mayor Pat Meisel 13 -207- Mound, MN 55364 (952) 472-3190 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Council Sarah Smith, Community Development Director January 2, 2002 Public Lands Permit Application - 1733 Gull Lane John Anderson Wiota Commons Grading Activities in Gull Lane Street Right-of-Way and Wiota Commons SUMMARY At its November 15, 2001 meeting, the Docks and Commissions Commission reviewed the application from John Anderson for a Public Lands Permit to undertake grading activities within the Gull Lane right-of-way and Wiotta Commons so that drainage in and around the lower level garage area can be appropriately diverted away from the existing home. The applicant has indicated that the property is subject to flooding problems due to improper drainage. PROJECT DETAILS The project includes the removal of the existing asphalt within the Gull Lane right-of-way and grading activities in and around the Wiota Commons in order to improve drainage. As the existing elevations in and around the subject area are relatively flat, the area is often prone to standing and/or ponding water. As is appears that some of the runoff is being generated from Gull Lane, the Public Works Department has offered to remove the asphalt and curb in the proposed project area. Following grading activities, the right-of-way area and Wiota Commons areas are to be properly restored including the installation of sod and/or landscaping elements in the right-of-way areas. RECOMMENDATION - DOCKS & COMMONS COMMISSION Based on its review, the DCA unanimously voted to recommend approval of the application subject to the conditions as recommended by City staff. Refer to November 15, 2001 meeting minutes for details. -208- NEW INFORMATION While City Code Section 320 does not require public notification, current City policy indicates that adjacent property owners are notified as a courtesy. Members of the City Council are advised that a meeting notice was mailed to Mary Sherman, 5065 Wren Road on or around November 10, 2001. Unfortunately, Ms. Sherman did not pick up her mail until on or around November 16, 2001 and therefore was unable to attend the DCA meeting and provide comment. As the City Council may be aware, the application from John Anderson was originally scheduled to be on the December 11, 2001 agenda but was removed from the agenda to allow adequate time to respond to the issues brought forth by Ms. Sherman. City staff met with Ms. Sherman on or around December 10, 2001 to discuss the current proposal. In short, Ms. Sherman has expressed concern regarding the restoration activities and the use of sod and landscaping materials as it may negatively affect her ability to maneuver her vehicle and horse trailer which are often stored at the 5065 Wren Road property. REVISED STAFF PROPOSAL In response to the issues raised by Ms. Sherman, City staff has offered a revised proposal to undertake the construction activities as a City project and subsequently restore the area with asphalt and split the associated costs of the asphalt replacement 50-50 with the applicant. Based on review by the City Engineer, it is estimated that the replacement of sod and the cost-sharing option to install asphalt would be approximately the same. The information was forwarded to John Anderson and is under review. Preliminarily, he expressed willingness to restore the area with asphalt but has indicated that he believes that these costs should be the responsibility of the City. ATTACHMENTS Letter from Mary Sherman dated November 29, 2001 Memorandum from City Engineer dated December 20, 2001 -209- CITY OF MOUND RESOLUTION NO. 02- RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT FOR JOHN ANDERSON AT 1733 GULL LANE LOT 9, BLOCK 14, DREAMWOOD, WIOTTA COMMONS WHEREAS, the applicant is seeking a Public Lands Permit to undertake grading activities in the Gull Lane right-of-way and Wiotta Commons to correct an existing drainage problem; and WHEREAS, City Code Section 320, requires City Council approval by a majority vote for construction of any kind on any public way, park or commons, or the alteration of the natural contour of any public way, park or commons; and WHEREAS, the grading activities in the Gull Lane right-of-way and Wiotta Commons will resolve the drainage problems; and WHEREAS, the Docks and Commons Commission reviewed this request and recommend approval by a unanimous vote; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota, as follows: To approve a Construction on Public Lands Permit to construct the subject upon the following conditions: 1.

The foregoing resolution was moved by Councilmember Councilmember and seconded by The following voted in the affirmative: The following voted in the negative: Adopted by the City Council this 8th day of January, 2002. Attest: City Clerk Mayor Pat Meisel -210- November 29, 2001 5065 Wren Rd. Mound, MN 55364 Ms. Sarah Smith Community Development Director City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 RE: Grading Activities in Gull Lane Street Right-of-Way Dear Ms. Smith: I own the property to the east of the proposed grading activity and I have concerns regarding the final covering that will be placed on Gull Lane with the proposed recommendations. I am not against grading the street to accommodate the flooding issue, but I am against replacing it with grass. I already have to accommodate narrower streets (because of the neighbor's stone walls), which makes it cumbersome for me with my long van to back out of my driveway. (If you look at my fence you will also see that it is cumbersome for the people who had lived in 1733 Gull in the past). I also own a horse trailer, which I keep in my garage and I need the full length of the street to be able to straighten it out and back it into a place in the garage with about a 3-4" (inch) space on each side. The narrow road already makes it hard for me to put the trailer away but making the street shorter will make it impossible. The proposed solution - grass- is not acceptable. If you want to grade it and replace it with asphalt or concrete, I have no concerns. 3. Caution must also be taken when grading so no damage is done to my basement. Construction of streets in the past has 'moved' the blocks of my basement walls. We have already agreed to allow the neighbor's stone walls to stand, making the street narrower (his house is right on the line) causing issue #1 above. Our family has owned this property for over 50 years, and we've seen a number of owners in 1733 Gull Lane come and go, but w__~e have had to live with 'poor' decisions made in the past. I am here for the long-term, therefore, I will not agree to have grass placed down a street that is shared making an already difficult situation for me, become next to impossible. Sincerely, Mary Sherman -211- MEMORANDUM DATE: DECEMBER 20, 2001 TO: SARAH SMITH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FROM: JOHN CAMERON, CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT 1733 GULL LANE - JOHN ANDERSON MFRA File No. 13379 - FRA As requested, I have reviewed the costs associated with the proposed reconstruction of the end &Gull Lane and done a cost comparison between repaying with bituminous and sodding. It is estimated to cost approximately $500 to place black dirt and sod in leu of approximately $1500, to replace with gravel and bituminous paving, the area where the bituminous is to be removed. In addition, it will cost approximately $400 to re-sod the area of the Commons that must be regarded. The City had previously agreed to remove existing the bituminous and rough grade the area to drain towards the Lake. It would be my recommendation that the work be done as a City project and that Mr. Anderson contribute $900 towards the project, which is the amount he would have paid to sod the disturbed area if the bituminous were not replaced. As previously suggested, Public works could do some of the work and the remainder would be contracted out.

This item tabled until December 2OOl meeting. Motion by Funk second by Goldberg to approve handout agenda as revised. MOTION carried unanimously. INTERVIEW DOCK AND COMMONS ADVISORY COMMISSION CANDIDATES Chair Jim Funk and Commission Greg Eurich terms expire the end of the year. Each has submitted the appropriate application. Michael McGreeney and Corey Huson have submitted the appropriate applications. Only the incumbents are in attendance and have chosen not to interview. MOTION by Goldberg second by Ahrens to recommend to the Mound City Council approval of Chair Funk and Commissioner Eurich for another term to the Docks and Open Space Commission. Discussion: the Commissioners agreed all the applicants seemed well qualified. However it is not the preference of the Commission to have like members. To be a Commissioner requires many hours of time and much effort. Corey Huson does not qualify, as he is not in the Docks Program. MOTION carried unanimously. Mark Goldberg stepped down at 9:30 p.m. 4. DISCUSS: PROPOSED SLIP USAGE REQUIREMENTS In previous years the City of Mound has seen a steady increase in requests from residents for municipal dockage for their boats. Currently there are ninety individuals on the 2001 Dock Waiting List. This list in 1999 was in the twenties and in 2000 grew into the forties. A question has been raised by those on the Waiting List along with the Dock and Commons Advisory Commission (DCAC) and city staff as to why there are slips on city docks sitting vacant of a boat throughout the boating season. In an attempt to see that the Municipal Slips are utilized to their fullest extend in 2002 the DCAC has recommended a change to the Mound City Code Section #437 Dock License. The Commission requested staff to investigate usage. This change has been mailed to all multiple slip holders as a proposed draft. -214- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15,2001 Some residents stated they did not receive a copy of ordinance; however they did receive the letter indicated the meeting. Fackler then briefly explained the proposed changes in the Ordinance. Chair Funk then opened the public meeting. Questions, comments and concerns were directed to the Commissioners and staff. Pamela Janish, 1591 Eagle Lane, Woodland Point. The multiple slips are more visible. Why is there a difference between multiple slip dock holders and abutting dock holders. Commissioner Goldberg stated he is in favor of limiting this ordinance to the multiples at this time. Chair Funk agreed. Eisa Watson, 4610 tuxedo Blvd. Very against the idea of separating multiples and other dock usage. Knows of people who have not used their docks for numerous years. Dave Gorman, 2440 Chateau Lane, Carlson Park. How many non-users in the multiple areas as compared to the others? Fackler stated this is just a starting point. Gorman asked if there are any plans to dredge at Carlson Park. Fackler stated that in depends on the weather and water height. Also this area might be handled by the Storm Water Management Plan. Mary Ellen Storlein, 1595 Dove Lane in Three Points. She was assigned a dock on the south end of Bluebird Lane and trailers her boat most of the time. Her boat is in the lake on the weekends. During the week it is in her garage due to algae, etc. Chair Funk stated the Commission is not trying to take away any ones dock. City Council Representative Hanus stated the Commission needs to define "usage". The intention is that the site gets used. Stipulations are in the Ordinance for most of the conditions mentioned. Fackler indicated most of these conditions are addressed in the Ordinance. Basically staff needs to be notified. Kelly Anderson 1733 Gull Lane. Does not want to micromanage her summer in regards to having to notify the city of her plans. Fackler stated this is a simple telephone call to staff for notification of a vacant slip for an extended period of time. It is less costly to the taxpayers if staff is notified instead of requiring staff to locate and contact owners. Staff indicated that all individual circumstances cannot be recognized in an ordinance. This is a learning process and we should concentrate on the intent of the ordinance. Staff does not have the budget to do investigations. Pam Janish, 1591 Eagle Lane, Woodland Point. Does not want to notify the city each and every time she leaves her dock. -215- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 Hanus explained that these slips will be checked more than once and other indications will be examined as to whether or not a slip is being used. Commissioner Jones stated staff will be flexible and reasonable with residents. The Commission cannot write into an ordinance every possible situation that might arise. All other communities that have city owned docks have a similar program like this ordinance. This is reasonable and flexible; especially compared to other communities. The city has spent a considerable amount of money on these docks and would like to see them used. Chair Funk agrees. This program will be run with a number of different observations to determine if a dock is being used or not. Darlene Duchbjork, 2189 Fairview Lane. Waited two years for a dock slip. Then had to wait to get a better location. Has had a boat in her slip on and off. When there is a lot of rain she pulls her boat out. Feels shut into a corner having to notify the city as to why her boat is not at her dock. Last year her boat was not in the water at all. Just because the population is growing is no reason for this policing. Hanus stated the waiting list now is approximately 10 years for a slip. Eisa Watson, 4610 Tuxedo Blvd. Other communities have a waiting list for docks. Some for more than 15 years. Believes if a boat is not registered to the dock then that resident should not be issued a slip. Mike Chitko, 3301 Warner Lane, Whipple Shores. Has a successful multiple slip situation. Will the resident be able to review the criteria as to any changes that are made? Staff would like to have this into place by the 2002 application process. This is scheduled to go to the City Council November 27, 2001. Staff indicated this needs to be decided tonight. Hanus explained that there is also an appeal process. If notice is received by a resident, the situation can be appealed. Mike Chitko, 3301 Warner Lane. Agrees with filling empty slips. This program is not a right but a privilege. If communication has to be made with the city, that seems fair. Public Meeting closed at 8:20 p.m. Chair Funk thanked the public for comments and concerns. Funk explained this Ordinance cannot cover every scenario. Staff can judge and administer this Ordinance reasonably. -216- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 1 5, 2001 Fackler indicated to the Commission that as this plays out through the summer season, the Commission can revisit this Ordinance the end of September and/or October. This could be an annual item on the agenda for review. Staff is not expecting to many appeals. All appeals will be reviewed by the Dock Commission. There was not opposition to the dates in this Ordinance. MOTION by Ahrens second by Eurich to recommend to the Mound City Council approval of proposed Ordinance Section 437 Dock License. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council November 27 at 7:30 p.m. for approval for 2002. Hanus stepped down at 8:30 p.m. 5. REVIEW: PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT The applicant is John Anderson, the location is 1733 Gull Lane. Staff distributed digital pictures to the commission. The applicant is requesting a Public Lands Permit in order to commence grading activities within the Gull Lane right-of-way and Wiota Commons so that drainage in and around the lower level garage area can be appropriately diverted away from the existing home. The applicant has indicated that the property is subject to flooding problems due to improper drainage. The project includes the removal of the existing asphalt and curb within the Gull Lane right-of-way and re-grading activities in and around the Wiota Commons area in order to improve drainage. As it appears that some of the runoff is being generated from Gull Lane, the Public Works Department is offering assistance by removing the asphalt and curb in the proposed project area. Following grading activities, the right-of-way area and Wiota Commons areas will be properly restored including the installation of sod and/or landscaping elements. The property is recognized as having a special permit to allow the private structure (retaining wall) in the right-of-way. There are three (3) mature Oak trees located in and around the proposed project area. The condition of the trees should be evaluated by a qualified professional prior to the commencement of any grading activities so as to determine the health and condition of the trees as well as evaluate whether or not the trees can withstand the proposed construction activities. Additionally, a tree preservation plan should bed submitted. -217- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 City Code Chapter 350 regulates shoreland management in the City of Mound. Specifically, topographic alterations and grading and filling activities are regulated by City Code Chapter 350:1225 Subd. 4 (B.) The project does not involve the construction or installation of any permanent structure in either the Gull Lane right-of-way or Wiota Commons areas. Staff recommends approval of the Public Lands Permit to undertake grading activities so that proper drainage can be accommodated. Staff recommends that the following be conditions of approval. The applicants shall be responsible for all activities associated with the project with the exception of the asphalt and curb removal. A tree condition report and preservation plan prepared by a qualified professional submitted to the City prior to the approval of the Grading Permit. The permit is made subject to all suggested conditions from staff. Ahrens questioned if this is a city issue or a private issue. Fackler explained the road was in place prior to the road improvement. The wall is in the street right- of-way. The city is somewhat responsible. The new homeowner is looking at improving this area. Hanus arrived back at 8:35 p.m. Applicant Anderson stated they would like to speed up the process. The run off and water creates mold and they have spent considerable time and effort in cleaning, repainting, and sealing to rectify this problem. The applicant is willing to take on expenses to expedite this process. MOTION by Ahrens second by Fund to approve the 1733 Gull Lane Public Lands Permit Application as per staff recommendations and conditions. MOTION carried unanimously. This will be reviewed by the City Council on Tuesday December 11, 2001. b. James Powers, 1791 Resthaven Lane. Applicant present. The applicant is requesting an "after-the-fact" Public Lands Permit to allow a number of evergreen trees and retaining wall section to remain within Sunset Landing. Member of the Docks and Commons Commission are advised that is appears the landscaping elements were installed in the Sunset Landing right-of- -218- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15,2001 way in error by the builder, Superior Value Homes, when the new home at 1791 Resthaven Lane was constructed. Details regarding the proposed are contained in the application and survey that have been submitted. The applicant has expressed desire for the landscaping elements to remain in the public right-of-way so as to minimize overflow and runoff from the street and driveway areas as well as to buffer the public landing area from the new residential home. Staff recommends denial of the Public Lands Permit request from applicant to allow continued placement of the evergreen and retaining wall in the Sunset Landing right-of-way due to the following: As the evergreen trees continue to grow, they will encroach further into the Sunset Landing area thereby impacting access and parking. ~ It appears that the improvements that were installed can be easily relocated on to the applicant's property. There appears to be no public benefit of allowing the landscaping encroachments to continue on the City's property. Staff believes that the tree line help to provide a separation between Sunset Landing and the subject property and also enhances the visual appearance of the area. Hanus is concerned in regards to the property lines. Staff indicated the builder was asked to identify the property markers. The Planning Department issued a certificate of occupancy and the issue was dropped. Residents have complained that the trees are encroaching on the parking area. Plowing is an issue with staff because this area needs to be kept obstruction free and the blades will catch on the trees and the trees restrict the entrance. Commissioner Eurich stated the retaining wall and trees were installed after the certificate of occupancy. Applicant stated there is room to relocate the trees closer to the house; but would be difficult. There is a very Iow use of traffic on this site. (Eurich disagrees 6-8 trailers during the summer months). The applicant is happy with the privacy the trees provide. Staff recommends the homeowner provides a survey and flag all markers. The commission agrees that the property stakes need to be located before a decision can be made. Applicant will provide location of property stakes.

Nybeck, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LMCD Member Cities ~//,~..~ Greg NYbeck, Executive Director Appointment of 2002 Board Members It is approaching the time of the year when terms for some of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) Board of Directors members will expire. Terms on the LMCD Board run from February 1st through January 31*t of the following year. The state enabling LMCD legislation calls for Board members to be appointed for three-year terms subject to recall by the cities. There is no applicable term limits for Board members. Because the application of the LMCD ordinances are inherently unique and it takes some period of time for new Board members to come up to speed, it would be difficult and undesirable to have all Board members terms expire at the same time, possibly ending up with a completely new Board or a mostly new Board. The LMCD has, therefore, requested the 14 cities to stagger the member's terms by appointing five members the first year, five the second year and four the third year (5-5-4). We realize that some of the cities prefer to make all their appointments for a single calendar year at one time, however, this is not consistent with the LMCD enabling act. Also, the cities do have the ability to recall their member anytime and appoint another for the remainder of the term. Below is a list of when the current Board member terms expire in January of: 2OO2 Andrea Ahems-Mound Craig Eggers-Victoria Paul Knudsen-Minnetrista Lili McMillan-Orono Craig Nelson-Spring Park Tom Skramstad-Shorewood 2OO3 Bob Ambrose-Wayzata Doug Babcock-Tonka Bay Tom Gilman-Excelsior Herb Suerth-Woodland Sheldon Wert-Greenwood 20O4 Bert Foster-Deephaven Tom Seuntjens-Mtka.

APPROVAL OF THE NOVEMBER 8, 2001 POSC MINUTES MOTION by Hentz second by Motyka to approve the November 8, 2001 Parks and Open Space Advisory Commission Minutes. MOTION carried unanimously. 2. AGENDA CHANGES None 3. REVIEW: 2001 PARKS/BEACH PROGRAM WITH WESTONKA COMMUNITY SERVICES Roxy gave a short summary of the program. The program was designed as a drop in program where participants 5-12 years old could participate in theme based activities for free at their local neighborhood park. The program is funded through the City of Mound Parks Department. New playground installed at some of the park locations enhanced the enjoyment for participants. Added this year were themes, curriculum basic activities, and afternoon programming. There were many opportunities for Westonka Area children in the mornings through enrichment, camps, and area programs. Adding afternoons also helped to recruit staff to offer a full day employment package. Staff kept over 3,105 Mound Bay Park beach visitors safe as they enjoyed water activities throughout the summer of 2001. This year we had enough funding to operate one beach, Mound Bay Park with limited guarding at Center View Beach upon group reservations. In future summers we would like to guard and supervise a number of beaches throughout the Westonka Area to keep visitors of the waters as safe as possible. We had weekly training session to keep our guard staff as educated as possible on events, proper procedures, and a variety of other benefiaical topics and speakers. The guards were scheduled at mound Bay Park seven days a week through the school summer break. -247- Mary Hughes then answered questions from the Commissioners in regards to the budget deficit of $1,310.00. Hughes provided a detailed budget itemized list. Music in the parks was a success. There were approximately 600 people at the Splatter Sisters concert. 4. REVIEW: 2002 PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET The 2002 Proposed is now "2002 Actual". The largest cuts were in the recreation division. Parks Director Jim Fackler explained the line items that had the greatest increases. Commissioner Taylor questioned the salary increases. A full time person was hired and a secretary (different line items). Fackler explained the need for a full- time permanent employee in 2003. This is due to the fact of all the number of parks and open space area being developed. Staff is requested to provide an additional line item in the budget for "Tree Planting". The capital outlay breaks down as follows: 1-ton dump truck Upgrade of the Depot ½ -ton 4X4 truck Skatepark 5. REVIEW: PARK AND NATURE AREA INVENTORY INFORMATION The Commissioners received updated spreadsheet of breakdown of parks areas and amenities. As per Community Developer Sarah Smith and Loren Gordon City Planner, it is their experience with Comprehensive Park Plans that they have included an inventory of all park areas.

Michael McGreeney and Corey Huson have submitted the appropriate applications. Only the incumbents are in attendance and have chosen not to interview. MOTION by Goldberg second by Ahrens to recommend to the Mound City Council approval of Chair Funk and Commissioner Eurich for another term to the Docks and Open Space Commission. Discussion: the Commissioners agreed all the applicants seemed well qualified. However it is not the preference of the Commission to have like members. To be a Commissioner requires many hours of time and much effort. Corey Huson does not qualify, as he is not in the Docks Program. MOTION carried unanimously. Mark Goldberg stepped down at 9:30 p.m. 4. DISCUSS: PROPOSED SLIP USAGE REQUIREMENTS In previous years the City of Mound has seen a steady increase in requests from residents for municipal dockage for their boats. Currently there are ninety individuals on the 2001 Dock Waiting List. This list in 1999 was in the twenties and in 2000 grew into the forties. A question has been raised by those on the Waiting List along with the Dock and Commons Advisory Commission (DCAC) and city staff as to why there are slips on city docks sitting vacant of a boat throughout the boating season. In an attempt to see that the Municipal Slips are utilized to their fullest extend in 2002 the DCAC has recommended a change to the Mound City Code Section #437 Dock License. The Commission requested staff to investigate usage. This change has been mailed to all multiple slip holders as a proposed draft. -252- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 1 5,2001 Some residents stated they did not receive.a copy of ordinance; however they did receive the letter indicated the meeting. Fackler then briefly explained the proposed changes in the Ordinance. Chair Funk then opened the public meeting. Questions, comments and concerns were directed to the Commissioners and staff. Pamela Janish, 1591 Eagle Lane, Woodland Point. The multiple slips are more visible. Why is there a difference between multiple slip dock holders and abutting dock holders. Commissioner Goldberg stated he is in favor of limiting this ordinance to the multiples at this time. Chair Funk agreed. Eisa Watson, 4610 tuxedo Blvd. Very against the idea of separating multiples and other dock usage. Knows of people who have not used their docks for numerous years. Dave Gorman, 2440 Chateau Lane, Carlson Park. How many non-users in the multiple areas as compared to the others? Fackler stated this is just a starting point. Gorman asked if there are any plans to dredge at Carlson Park. Fackler stated that in depends on the weather and water height. Also this area might be handled by the Storm Water Management Plan. Mary Ellen Storlein, 1595 Dove Lane in Three Points. She was assigned a dock on the south end of Bluebird Lane and trailers her boat most of the time. Her boat is in the lake on the weekends. During the week it is in her garage due to algae, etc. Chair Funk stated the Commission is not trying to take away any ones dock. City Council Representative Hanus stated the Commission needs to define "usage". The intention is that the site gets used. Stipulations are in the Ordinance for most of the conditions mentioned. Fackler indicated most of these conditions are addressed in the Ordinance. Basically staff needs to be notified. Kelly Anderson 1733 Gull Lane. Does not want to micromanage her summer in regards to having to notify the city of her plans. Fackler stated this is a simple telephone call to staff for notification of a vacant slip for an extended period of time. It is less costly to the taxpayers if staff is notified instead of requiring staff to locate and contact owners. Staff indicated that all individual circumstances cannot be recognized in an ordinance. This is a learning process and we should concentrate on the intent of the ordinance. Staff does not have the budget to do investigations. Pam Janish, 1591 Eagle Lane, Woodland Point. Does not want to notify the city each and every time she leaves her dock. -253- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 Hanus explained that these slips will be checked more than once and other indications will be examined as to whether or not a slip is being used. Commissioner Jones stated staff will be flexible and reasonable with residents. The Commission cannot write into an ordinance every possible situation that might arise. All other communities that have city owned docks have a similar program like this ordinance. This is reasonable and flexible; especially compared to other communities. The city has spent a considerable amount of money on these docks and would like to see them used. Chair Funk agrees. This program will be run with a number of different observations to determine if a dock is being used or not. Darlene Duchbjork, 2189 Fairview Lane. Waited two years for a dock slip. Then had to wait to get a better location. Has had a boat in her slip on and off. When there is a lot of rain she pulls her boat out. Feels shut into a corner having to notify the city as to why her boat is not at her dock. Last year her boat was not in the water at all. Just because the population is growing is no reason for this policing. Hanus stated the waiting list now is approximately 10 years for a slip. Eisa Watson, 4610 Tuxedo Blvd. Other communities have a waiting list for docks. Some for more than 15 years. Believes if a boat is not registered to the dock then that resident should not be issued a slip. Mike Chitko, 3301 Warner Lane, Whipple Shores. Has a successful multiple slip situation. Will the resident be able to review the criteria as to any changes that are made? Staff would like to have this into place by the 2002 application process. This is scheduled to go to the City Council November 27, 2001. Staff indicated this needs to be decided tonight. Hanus explained that there is also an appeal process. If notice is received by a resident, the situation can be appealed. Mike Chitko, 3301 Warner Lane. Agrees with filling empty slips. This program is not a right but a privilege. If communication has to be made with the city, that seems fair. Public Meeting closed at 8:20 p.m. Chair Funk thanked the public for comments and concerns. Funk explained this Ordinance cannot cover every scenario. Staff can judge and administer this Ordinance reasonably. -254- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 1 5, 2001 Fackler indicated to the Commission that as this plays out through the summer season, the Commission can revisit this Ordinance the end of September and/or October. This could be an annual item on the agenda for review. Staff is not expecting to many appeals. All appeals will be reviewed by the Dock Commission. There was not opposition to the dates in this Ordinance. MOTION by Ahrens second by Eurich to recommend to the Mound City Council approval of proposed Ordinance Section 437 Dock License. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council November 27 at 7:30 p.m. for approval for 2002. Hanus stepped down at 8:30 p.m. 5. REVIEW: PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT The applicant is John Anderson, the location is 1733 Gull Lane. Staff distributed digital pictures to the commission. The applicant is requesting a Public Lands Permit in order to commence grading activities within the Gull Lane right-of-way and Wiota Commons so that drainage in and around the lower level garage area can be appropriately diverted away from the existing home. The applicant has indicated that the property is subject to flooding problems due to improper drainage. The project includes the removal of the existing asphalt and curb within the Gull Lane right-of-way and re-grading activities in and around the Wiota Commons area in order to improve drainage. As it appears that some of the runoff is being generated from Gull Lane, the Public Works Department is offering assistance by removing the asphalt and curb in the proposed project area. Following grading activities, the right-of-way area and Wiota Commons areas will be properly restored including the installation of sod and/or landscaping elements. The property is recognized as having a special permit to allow the private structure (retaining wall) in the right-of-way. There are three (3) mature Oak trees located in and around the proposed project area. The condition of the trees should be evaluated by a qualified professional prior to the commencement of any grading activities so as to determine the health and condition of the trees as well as evaluate whether or not the trees can withstand the proposed construction activities. Additionally, a tree preservation plan should bed submitted. -255- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 City Code Chapter 350 regulates shoreland management in the City of Mound. Specifically, topographic alterations and grading and filling activities are regulated by City Code Chapter 350:1225 Subd. 4 (B.) The project does not involve the construction or installation of any permanent structure in either the Gull Lane right-of-way or Wiota Commons areas. Staff recommends approval of the Public Lands Permit to undertake grading activities so that proper drainage can be accommodated. Staff recommends that the following be conditions of approval. The applicants shall be responsible for all activities associated with the project with the exception of the asphalt and curb removal. A tree condition report and preservation plan prepared by a qualified professional submitted to the City prior to the approval of the Grading Permit. The permit is made subject to all suggested conditions from staff. Ahrens questioned if this is a city issue or a private issue. Fackler explained the road was in place prior to the road improvement. The wall is in the street right- of-way. The city is somewhat responsible. The new homeowner is looking at improving this area. Hanus arrived back at 8:35 p.m. Applicant Anderson stated they would like to speed up the process. The run off and water creates mold and they have spent considerable time and effort in cleaning, repainting, and sealing to rectify this problem. The applicant is willing to take on expenses to expedite this process. MOTION by Ahrens second by Fund to approve the 1733 Gull Lane Public Lands Permit Application as per staff recommendations and conditions. MOTION carried unanimously. This will be reviewed by the City Council on Tuesday December 11,2001. b. James Powers, 1791 Resthaven Lane. Applicant present. The applicant is requesting an "after-the-fact" Public Lands Permit to allow a number of evergreen trees and retaining wall section to remain within Sunset Landing. Member of the Docks and Commons Commission are advised that is appears the landscaping elements were installed in the Sunset Landing right-of- -256- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15,2001 way in error by the builder, Superior Value Homes, when the new home at 1791 Resthaven Lane was constructed. Details regarding the proposed are contained in the application and survey that have been submitted. The applicant has expressed desire for the landscaping elements to remain in the public right-of,way so as to minimize overflow and runoff from the street and driveway areas as well as to buffer the public landing area from the new residential home. Staff recommends denial of the Public Lands Permit request from applicant to allow continued placement of the evergreen.and retaining wall in the Sunset Landing right-of-way due to the following: As the evergreen trees continue to grow, they will encroach further into the Sunset Landing area thereby impacting access and parking. ~ It appears that the improvements that were installed can be easily relocated on to the applicant's property. There appears to be no public benefit of allowing the landscaping encroachments to continue on the City's property. Staff believes that the tree line help to provide a separation between Sunset Landing and the subject property and also enhances the visual appearance of the area. Hanus is concerned in regards to the property lines. Staff indicated the builder was asked to identify the property markers. The Planning Department issued a certificate of occupancy and the issue was dropped. Residents have complained that the trees are encroaching on the parking area. Plowing is an issue with staff because this area needs to be kept obstruction free and the blades will catch on the trees and the trees restrict the entrance. Commissioner Eurich stated the retaining wall and trees were installed after the certificate of occupancy. Applicant stated there is room to relocate the trees closer to the house; but would be difficult.' There is a very Iow use of traffic on this site. (Eurich disagrees 6-8 trailers during the summer months). The applicant is happy with the privacy the trees provide. Staff recommends the homeowner provides a survey and flag all markers. The commission agrees that the property stakes need to be located before a decision can be made. Applicant will provide location of property stakes. MOTION by Funk second by Jones to table item until the applicant produces location of the property irons. Staff directed to include item on agenda after locations are confirmed. -257- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 MOTION carried unanimously. 6. REVIEW FLOW CHART/PROCEDURE MANUAl.. Item #6 Sarah Smith cannot attend meeting. This item tabled until December 2001 meeting. 7. DISCUSS: 2002 DOCK LOCATION MAP CHANGES The following changes were approved: · #54 changed from non-abutter to abutter. · 10220 was changed to an abutting site last year. · Page 77, Devon Multiple Site 42800G 18X8 small craft slip.

APPROVE MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MOTION by Weiland, seconded by Hasse, to approve the minutes of the November 5, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. MOTION carried unanimously. MOTION by Mueller, seconded by Weiland, to cancel the second meeting in December. MOTION carried unanimously. 2. PLANNING COMMISSIONER INTERVIEWS John Evans - He has a burning desire to see this tom move ahead. He has been through the variance process and was interested in working to simplify the procedure. He feels that he has good judgment and is realistic. He would prefer to bypass the public hanging issue. Ron Faust - He is very new to the area and wanted to get involved in some type of project. Because of his background in county finance it sounded like a good thing to be involved in. He was involved with obtaining permits and zoning issues. He was concerned with the vacant buildings downtown and protecting the interests of the business owners currently here. He would probably not attend a public hanging. 3. MISCELLANEOUS A discussion ensued with the Mayor regarding whether the commission members who were reapplying for a commission position could vote for the candidates.

In mid-June, before the the state in tWo equal installments on October 31 conclusion of the session, the Department of Revenue mailed copies of Form TNT-2002 along with instructions to cities over 500 population. At that time, the Department was forced to assume that current laws would remain in effect. Form TNT-2002 is the certification of compliance with the truth-in-taxation process. In the final tax bill, the fall 2001 truth-in-taxation hearings were made optional. The normal hearing requirements will resume next fall. In a post-special session letter to the school districts and to the cities over 500 population, dated July 6, 2001, the Department of Revenue informed cities that they SHOULD NOT submit a Form TNT-2002, Certification of Truth in Taxation - Payable 2002 to the Department of Revenue. The letter stated, "Since the truth in taxation hearings are not required this year, there is no reason to complete and submit this form." The Department has begun receiving completed forms from some school districts and cities. If you were planning on submitting this form, please be reminded that the Form TNT-2002 reporting requirement has been waived for this year. New market value credit poses cash flow problem League staff has recently learned that the new market value credits for homestead and agricultural homestead property enacted by the 2001 legislature may cause cash flow problems for some local governments. These new credit programs essentially reduce the taxes that homesteads and agricultural and December 26. In effect, a portion of each local governments' June tax settlement will be delayed until October 31. League staff estimates that the average city will have about 8 percent of its June settlement delayed. For cities with a large proportion of their tax base made up of homestead property under $150,000 in value, the percentage could be a lot higher. The homestead market value credit is equal to .4 percent of the market value of the home up to a $304 maximum credit. The credit is reduced by $9 for every $10,000 of home value in excess of $76,000. The credit is completely phased out for a homestead valued at $414,000. The agricultural homestead credit is equal to .02 percent of the first $115,000 of market value, up to a $230 maximum. There is no phase-out of the agricultural credit. The credits are divided among the city, county, school and special taxing districts in proportion to their share of the total net tax capacity taxes levied. Tax Hearings for the Weelc Senate Focuses on Revenue Side of Forecast A select subcommittee of the Senate Tax committee met on Wednesday to hear presentations by the Departments of Finance, Revenue, and Children, Families and Learning.

Several committee members questioned the accuracy of the forecast and whether it is overly pessimistic. Members also raised questions regarding city fund balances. Commissioners confirmed what several senators are beginning to understand--city finances are complicated and the numbers reported by the in the State Auditor's annual report are dated. No doubt there will be more discussions of local government fund balances in the weeks ahead. From the committee discussions, it appeared as if senators were protecting all possible budget- balancing alternatives, which could certainly include tax increases. St. Cloud Hearing The House Tax Committee convened in St. Cloud on Thursday, December 13, to take testimony from St. Cloud city officials and area cities on the effects of the 2001 property tax reform and other tax concerns. However, unlike the Senate hearing, the House meeting did not include extensive discussion of the state's budget predicament. Several city officials who testified at the hearing raised questions and concerns about the demise of their request for authority to impose a local sales tax. House Tax Committee members were forced to explain their rationale, which was largely based on concerns about the impact of additional local sales taxes on the multi-state effort to develop a streamlined sales tax system. In addition, members voiced concerns about the of their comments was not nearly as harsh as recent comments by the Governor, it is clear there will be more attention paid to the level of city fund balances. Health commissioner convenes terrorism task force In an effort to better coordinate the planning activities going on separately within many health groups and to address gaps in collective preparedness, State Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm this week convened a Terrorism and Health Task Force. Over forty organizations-- including the League--are represented on the task force. Others include health professional associations, emergency managers, civil liberties advocates and representatives of communities of color. The group will make recommendations on the following issues: · Communication infl'astructure and capacity with standard terminology · Disease surveillance and tracking systems · Laboratory capacity · Payment and insurance · Preparedness and response capacity ° Public health and healthcare workforce training · Secure accessible information systems The initial meeting included discussions of efforts currently underway and preliminary needs identification.

Resp os s._needed byJa_n_._ 7 Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer has asked the League to notify cities of her request to obtain local govern- ment comments regarding congres- sional and leg islative red istrictin g plans that the House, the Senate majority and minority caucuses, and Gov. Ventura have submitted to a special redistricting panel. Kiffmeyer, as the state's chief election official, is listed as one of the defendants in the litigation. Cities must provide responses no later than Monday, Jan. 7. Responses may be faxed to Secretary of State's Office at (651) 215-0682. Concerns for cities From the League's perspective, cities have two very basic concerns: · The plans should avoid placing cities into more than one legisla- tive or congressional district. · The Legislature should reach agreement on the plans to redraw those district boundaries before March 19. The League cautions cities about reflecting more broadly on the merits of the various redistricting proposals. Debate over issues such as minority representation, compactness, and protection of incumbents is often highly partisan. Criticism or praise of plans based on such matters can draw political backlash. It is appropri- ate, however, for cities to comment on  ans that may impact communities of terest within the city and to address matters that may adversely affect the conduct of elections at the local level. Cities maintain and the special redistricting panel has recognized that redistricting should be accom- plished "...with attention to county, city and township boundaries," and that those local units of government should not be divided into more than one district--except to meet equal population or compactness criteria for redistricting. City election officials acknowledge the need for the Leg- islature to reach agreement soon on redistricting plans since cities face a tight timeframe to redraw city ward boundaries and/or re-establish precincts. Once cities have completed their responsibilities, counties and school districts must also redraw local election district boundaries, as needed. Then voters must be notified of their new districts and where they will vote in the 2002 elections. Details on the proposals The Minnesota House of Representa- fives and the Minnesota State Senate have each adopted their own con- gressional and legislative redistricting proposals. The governor's Citizens Advisory Redistricting Commission has also developed alternatives to the plans that have been developed by each legislative body. Those plans can be viewed on the legislative web site at: www. commlsslons.leg. state.mn.uslglslhtmllcourtplansl courtplans.html. Maps showing the impact on the city of each of the plans can be down- loaded and printed so that city officials can examine how proposed changes in congressional and legislative election districts would affect the city. The proposed congressional plans submitted to the panel on Dec. 28 are: C0001-1, submitted on behalf of the Minnesota House Majority and State Senate Minority Caucuses; C0007-1, submitted by Gov. Ventura; C0008-0, submitted by the State Senate Majority and House Minority Caucuses; and C0009-0, submitted by Patricia Cotlow, etal., plaintiffs represented by attorneyAlan Weinblatt, who brought litigation 10 years ago to gain court action on redistricting and who have gained standing for determining the outcome of the 2002 redistricting issues if the state court acts to determine the outcome. The legislative redistricting propos- als listed are: L0007-0, submitted by the governor; L0008-0, submitted by the State Senate Majority and House Minority Caucuses; L0009-0, sub- mitted by the Minnesota House Majority and State Senate Minority Caucuses; and L0010-0, submitted by the plaintiffs represented by attorneyAlan Wein blatt. Last March, Minnesota State Supreme Court Chief Justice Kathleen Blatz appointed the special redistricting panel to be prepared to complete the redrawing of congres- sional and legislative election districts if the Legislature should fail to reach agreement in a timely manner.

This briefing is geared toward elect officials and city administrators. MnDOT has been informing city engineers on this matter via the City Engineers Association of Minnesota. The briefing will be held: Thursday~ January 17~ 2002 - 10 AM to Noon St. Croix Room~ LMC Building MnDOT will be using these guidelines to evaluate local government proposals for new intersections, commercial driveway entrances, and traffic signals. The guidelines will also be used in long range corridor planning and the design of highway improvement projects. The guidelines will become MnDOT's policy on the design and spacing of access to the trunk highway system and will be a key consideration in your local planning and economic development decisions. At the briefing you will learn more about why access management is so important for the safety and mobility of our highways, how local development concerns are factored into the guidelines, and how cities can work with MnDOT to apply the guidelines in their community. At workshops held in 1998, local officials told MnDOT that the most critical obstacle to good access management was a lack of common access guidelines that could be used by both MnDOT and local governments. Over the past two years, a committee including representatives of cities and counties has been working with MnDOT to develop these guidelines. When implemented, every highway will be assigned to an access category based on the type of road, its function and strategic importance to the statewide network, and the existing and planned land use of the surrounding community. Just as zoning divides our cities into different land use categories with corresponding development requirements, each access category has different corresponding guidelines for intersection spacing, private driveways, and traffic signals. If you are an elected official or city administrator, manager or clerk and are interested in learning more, please consider attending this briefing. If your city engineer is not aware of this program, they are welcome to attend, too. Please RSVP to Lynn Peterson at 651.281.1254. If you have questions, please contact Anne Finn at 651.281.1263.

There has been a willing audience with state legislators after the issue has been clearly defined, noting that the proposed legislation is targeted at residential turf lawns, not agriculture. · The Board of Soil and Water Resources fully endorses the proposed legislation and the legislation proposed by the MN Department of Agriculture is much closer to the desired proposed legislation than it was one year ago. Recently, the City of Minneapolis has passed an ordinance similar to the City of Shorewood ordinance that addresses point of sale restrictions on fertilizers with phosphorous. He believed that the City of St. Paul would probably adopt a similar ordinance in the near future. · He attended an Environmental Protection sub-committee meeting that was conducted by Senator Linda Higgins on 11/14/01. She authored all three pieces of legislation that were introduced at the 2001 legislative session, Also in attendance at this meeting were Dick Osgood and John Barten. There were a number of witnesses for and against this type of legislation, with two lobbyists representing the industry that opposed the proposed legislation. Some of the groups that spoke favorably for the proposed legislation included non-metro state legislators, agricultural people, liminologists, soil scientists, and the MN Department of Agriculture. · He stated that he was optimistic and that he expected good results dudng the upcoming legislative session. He asked Osgood to comment further on the subcommittee meeting. Osgood stated that he concurred with the comments of Mayor Love. He represented both the Lake Minnetonka Association (LMA) and the Minnesota Lakes Association at the subcommittee meeting supporting the proposed legislation. He believed the proposed legislation makes sense because both the lawns and lakes do not need additional phosphorous. Love asked if there comments or questions from the Board. Foster asked if the labeling process for fertilizers has been addressed. Specifically, if the number on the fertilizer bag representing phosphorous content is the maximum mixture rather than the minimum. Love stated that the labeling process is an issue and that the proposed legislation would need to ensure that the zero phosphorous number means that there is no phosphorous in the fertilizer. Foster asked what impact the proposed legislation would have on the commercial contractors that apply liquid fertilizer to lawns. -293- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District ~ ~ Regular Board Meeting November '14, 200'1 Page 3 Love stated that he believed he proposed legislation would have little impact on the commercial contractors because most lawns do not need additional phosphorous. Adding phosphorous is an additional expense for commercial contractors. Companies in the industry, such as Scotts, have one formula for the entire country. Babcock arrived at 7:11 p.m. McMillan asked for further clarification on the point of sale restrictions. Love stated that he hoped the Minnesota Department of Agdculture would be the sponsoring agency on the proposed legislation in the upcoming legislation session. He added that the intent is to allow percentages at' the retailers to replicate the same numbers of lawns that do not need fertilizer with phosphorous in it, approximately 80%. Point of sale for fertilizer, with or without phosphorous, would include a pamphlet that accomplishes two things. First, it would identify State of Minnesota laws regarding the use of phosphorous. Second, it would include educational information. This would involve basic standard information for the State of Minnesota and it would allow the Department of Agriculture to work with local units of governments, such as the District, to develop specific information. He believed the Department of Agriculture would need to get funding to conduct a three-Yea, r' study on the effectiveness of the proposed legislation. Weft asked for clarification on the approximated 20% percent lawns that would need fertilizer with phosphorous in it. Love stated that the use of phosphorus in fertilizer in the first year of establishment of a lawn makes sense in open soil conditions, provided this can be documented by a soil sample test. The proposed legislation would be a restriction, not a ban, on the use of fertilizer with phosphorous. Osgood stated that If a customer wants to purchase fertilizer with phosphorous, he envisioned that they would need to demonstrate through a soil sample test that shows their lawn needs phosphorous. Foster thanked Mayor Love and Osgood on behalf of the Board. B. Ordinance Amendment, Second reading of an ordinance prohibiting the use of motorized watercraft on certain parts of Lake Uinnetonka; adding new Section 3.022. Foster asked for background from staff on this agenda item. Nybeck stated that staff was directed at the last Board meeting to investigate three items relating to the proposed ordinance amendment. First, the latitude and longitude coordinates for the man made barders at Long Lake and Painter's Creeks have been included in the draft ordinance amendment. Second, staff has notified other residences that abut Six Mile and Long Lake Creeks that might be affected by the proposed ordinance amendment. Third, staff is'continulng'tb~'~arch the location of the 929.4' NGVD contour lines in Six Mile, Painter's, and Long lake Creeks. He believed that the Distdct might need to survey these contour lines sometime in the future. LeFevere stated that it is typical for land use applications where surveys are required to include ground elevation contours at two foot increments, possibly 928.0' and 930.0' NGVD or 927.0' and 929.0' NGVD. He believed the 929.4' NGVD contour line in Six Mile Creek was identified in a survey previously submitted by the developer of Upland Farms; however, this contour line has not been identified on Painter's and Long Lake Creeks. -294- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting November 14, 2001 Foster asked if there were any comments from the Board. Page4 Seuntjens re-stated his concern from previous meetings regarding residences that would be affected by the proposed ordinance amendment because they currently use Lake Minnetonka. He believed these residences should be grandfathered in some way because he believed the Board should not be removing rights from them. Babcock stated that he believed that there is a distinction between private property rights and how Lake Minnetonka is managed. He believed LeFevere was researching possible options relating to grandfathering the current uses, with one option moving the delineation mark of the restrictions in the proposed ordinance amendment further into Lake Uinnetonka. He asked for an update from LeFevere on his reseamh. LeFevere stated that he currently is researching whether it is defensible to grandfather existing uses. He noted that he had not ruled that possibility out; however, there might some problems associated with it relating to enforcement by the Sheriff's Water Patrol. Further research needs to be conducted on whether it would survive an equal protection challenge. Foster stated that he would get feedback from the Sheriff relating to enforcement of the proposed ordinance amendment at the 11/15/01 annual meeting with the Shedffs Water Patrol. Knudsen stated that he recently appeared before the Minnetrista City Council to provide them an overview of the proposed ordinance amendment. He reported that a few of the Uinnetdsta City Council members expressed concern that the proposed ordinance amendment would affect residences on Six Mile Creek that currently have a boat. He talked to the Mayor regarding Minnetrista adopting a similar ordinance where the Districts jurisdictions end, noting that she was non-committal. McMillan stated that she worked with staff on the preparation of a letter that was sent to the 12 residents that have properties that abut Long Lake Creek. She received telephone calls from two residents regarding their property rights, adding that she encouraged them to attend this meeting. Babcock stated that he believed it would beneficial for clarification from LeFevere on the difference between a property right and the use of the public waters in a reasonable manner. LeFevere stated that dpadan rights are property dghts that are attached to lakeshore properties. Riparian rights are diverse in nature and they include the dght to dock out to the point of navigability, subject to reasonable regulations. The Distdct has been granted the authority, through state enabling legislation, to regulate the surface water on Lake Minnetonka. He has not found any legal authority to date that suggests that the prohibition of motorized watercraft in the three creeks would constitute a taking of property rights. Babcock stated that in the late 1970's, he believed there was greater economic impact on commercial marinas when the District restricted dock lengths to 200' and that restriction was challenged as a taking by the marinas. This challenge was appealed to the Minnesota State Supreme Court, with the right for the District to impose reasonable regulations upheld. He believed that the Distdct is within its jurisdiction to establish non-motorized areas of the lake and to consider grandfathedng properties that would be affected by the proposed ordinance amendment. Seuntjens stated that he believed the proposed ordinance amendment would have a greater economic impact on the affected property owners in this instance because the proposed ordinance amendment would be an elimination of a right rather than a greater restriction. -295- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regutar Board Meeting November t4, 20H Page 5 Babcock stated that another example of reasonable regulations imposed by the Distdct is the establishment of "Quiet-Water" areas around the lake that resulted in properly owners not being able to use the water in front of their residence, such as water skiing. The establishment of these areas did not prohibit these residents from boating in these areas; however, they were limited to how they could boat within them. He believed that there are similar parallels with the proposed ordinance amendment and the previous ordinance amendments that restricted dock length at commercial marinas and the establishment of"Quiet-Water" areas. Seuntjens re-stated that he believed the proposed ordinance would result in the elimination of a dght rather ' than further restriction of a dght. Skramstad stated that he had concern about removing historical capabilities or dghts by adopting the proposed ordinance amendment. Foster asked if there were comments from the public on the proposed ordinance amendment. Mr. Tom Browne, 760 Brown Rbad S., stated that he had a 4.9 acre parcel of property that abuts Long Lake Creek. He made the following comments: · He talked to the 12 residents that abut Long Lake Creek in the immediate area, noting that there was concem from the neighborhood and that he placed a subsequent telephone call with Board member McMillan. He recognized that there was a concern that these properties could be purchased in the future with dredging permits secured, possibly resulting in large watercraft being stored in Long Lake Creek that currently do not exist. He believed that a compromise to the proposed ordinance amendment might be appropriate, noting that the railroad trestle that leads into Lake Minnetonka could be eliminated in the future. · The residents in the area have expressed a concem about the growth of purple Ioosestrife in the Long Lake Creek, adding that they hoped the MN DNR would take a leadership role on this issue. There also has been a concern in recent years about the growth of Eurasian Watermilfoil in the Long Lake Creek channel, essentially closing it down. The neighborhood would like to protect the Long Lake Creek area and keep it in its current state. · He circulated a petition that had been signed by the 12 affected residences, plus a couple of additional residences in the area. He read the petition, noting that they had concern that a law prohibiting the use of any motorized watercraft violates their right to use those waterways. The neighborhood recommended that the proposed ordinance be amended to read that "No watercraft with greater than a 10 horsepower motor would be allowed to enter these creeks". They believed that this recommendation is a compromise that would protect the wetlands and the wildlife; however, it would allow the property owners the right to use the creek. · He entertained questions or comments from the Board. Foster asked how far up the affected properties are upstream Long Lake Creek from Lake Minnetonka. Browne estimated that Browns Road is approximately 3/4 of a mile from Lake Minnetonka. Currently, a bass boat might be able to get into Long Lake Creek if it does not have a windshield. He discouraged allowing large watercraft and personal watercraft in Long Lake Creek to protect the environmental aspects of it. He estimated the water depth of Long Lake Creek is two feet. -296- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District ~ *,, Regular Board Meeting November 14, 2001 Page 6 Wert asked if there was concern in the neighborhood about prop dredging of Long Lake Creek, even with a 10 horeepower motor, if the water depth is approximately two feet. Foster stated that he believed a driving force behind the proposed ordinance amendment is how prop dredging re-suspends the nutrients in each of the three creeks, especially phosphorous, and the impacts on the environment and the wetlands. Browne stated that he understood the intent of the proposed ordinance amendment; however, he believed the residents in the Long Creek area should be allowed to continue to operate watemraft with motors. Ms. Joanne Watson, 1925 Fox Street, stated that she owned a property that abuts Long Lake Creek. She stored a boat on Long Lake Creek in front of her residence for approximately eight years until the late 1980's when the drought occurred. She currently canoes on Long Lake Creek and she questioned the feasibility of rowing a boat from the end of Long Lake Creek to Lake Uinnetonka. She believed the neighborhood is interested in preserving the Long Lake Creek area; however, there are residents that would like to have the ability to access Lake Minnetonka with a small boat and motor. Mr. Dick Osgood, representing the LMA, stated that the proposed ordinance amendment addresses two of the concerns of the LMA, environmental quality and lake use. With regards to environmental quality, the LMA has a greater environmental concem about plant damage and wildlife displacement rather than the suspension of phosphorous and other nutrients that run into Lake Minnetonka. With regard to lake use, the number one complaint received by LMA members relates to lake use and recreation. Although the proposed ordinance addresses lake use and recreation, the LMA would like it to be more comprehensive on lake use issues and controls. Suerth asked Osgood for an example of how the proposed ordinance amendment could be more comprehensive. Osgood stated that presuming lake crowding and congestion is a real issue, which a number LMA members believe is true, this should be taken into consideration by either controlling access to the lake or by adding additional surface use controls, such as speed limits or "Quiet Water" areas. Babcock stated that he believed the point raised by Osgood was well taken. Although the Management Plan adopted for Lake Minnetonka in the eady 1990's has controls in place to address the lake use issues raised by Osgood, it probably does not go to the extent of addressing tributaries leading into Lake Minnetonka. Similar to the establishment of"Quiet Water" areas on Lake Minnetonka, he believed long-term management of the different uses of these tributary areas should be considered. The character of the three creeks identified in the proposed ordinance amendment is generally non-motorized watercraft and he questioned whether these areas could sustain large numbers of motorized watercraft. Osgood stated that re-evaluation of the lake use section of the Management Plan might be timely and appropriate in the near future because things have changed on Lake Uinnetonka. Mr. Ralph Hatch, 4000 Kings Point Road, stated that he addressed the Board at the 10/24/01 meeting. He suggested that the Board consider another altemative to reduce traffic on Six Mile Creek by using "no-wake" buoys. Another suggestion for the Board to consider was to establish Halsteads Bay as a "no-wake" area because the bay is quite shallow and prop dredging impacts it. Suerth left at 8:05 p.m. -297- Lake Uinnetonka Consen/ation District Regular Board Meeting November '14, 2OO'l Page7 Babcock stated that he lived on Halsteads Bay from around 1980 to 1988. Although prop washing is a problem on this bay, he believed there is enough turn over of nutrients with or without boat traffic. Mr, Tim Hassett, legal representation for Upland Farms, stated that he was encouraged by the comments received from residents on Long Lake and Six Mile Creeks. He encouraged the Board to look at other options rather than the proposed ordinance amendment. He believed Six Mile, Long Lake, and Painter's Creeks are outside the jurisdiction of the District, noting that Six Mile Creek is a drainage ditch that was created in 1903 and is subject to ditch laws. The District has not exemised regulation of the creeks in the past and they are not identified in the state enabling legislation. He expressed concern about the loss of" riparian rights of his client and selective grandfathering, noting that the previous owner of Upland Farms had a boat on Six Mile Creek. He concluded that he had a concern about equal protection because he believed the proposed ordinance amendment is focused on the Upland Farms project. Foster asked LeFevere to provide an overview of drainage ditch laws and the state enabling legislation for the District. LeFevere stated that draina~ ditch laws have been around for a long pedod of time, with'the pdmary purpose of draining agricultural land. He discussed the problems associated at urban developments because the old ditch laws do not work ve~ well in urban environments. Ditch laws do not discuss anything relating to dparian dghts and restricting watercraft; however, there still is a question of where the 929.4' NGVD jurisdictional line of the Distdct ceases. Mr. Edc Evenson, representing the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distdct (MCWD),'.stated that he had limited experience with ditch laws. One sspect of ditch laws provides for the management of ditches in such a way that the ditch authority, the MCWD, could consider natural characteristics taken on by a ditch in determining whether a repair is warranted. He stated that a concern he had is the obstruction of ditches by structures, including docks, although it could have a long time use in the ditch. The MCWD is bringing experts to Lake Minnetonka in the near future to look into lake water management in shallow water bays, such as Jennings Bay. Knudsen stated that it would be interesting to identifY the jurisdiction that established non-motorized watercraft on Minnehaha Creek and the Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis. Evenson stated that the MCWD does not have any regulations in place that restricts motorized watercraft on the Minnehaha Creek. He believed the Chain of Lake are entirely within the City of Minneapolis and that they probably have the jurisdiction in that instance. Mr. Jim Kucher, 2301 91st Crescent in Brooklyn Park, stated that he owned a property abutting Six Mile Creek in the vicinity of Greg Smith'S'nd Ralp'h H~itCh~'~:He recommended that the Board consider grandfathedng these three properties from the proposed ordinance amendment. He stated that he purchased the property some years ago for development purposes with the idea that it had access to Lake Minnetonka. He has a smaller watercraft that he has stored at this site for more than eight years and he believed that adoption of the ordinance amendment would be a taking of his dparian rights, even if he could paddle within Six Mile Creek. Mr. Tom Casey, attorney for the Halsteads Area Wetland Preservation Group, stated that he had reviewed case law pertaining to riparian rights that would allow the District to adopt the proposed ordinance amendment. His clients believe the proposed ordinance amendment is reasonable and they encouraged the -298- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting November 14, 2001 Page 8 Board to approve it without grandfathering affected properties, because they still would have dpadan access Lake Minnetonka that is subject to reasonable regulations. Grandfathedng could present the District equal protection issues, it would cause enforcement concerns, and it would cause practical issues to determine what is grandfathered. He recommended that the Board approve second reading of the proposed ordinance amendment and schedule third reading for the next Board meeting. Browne stated that if the Board includes language in Six Mile Creek for the affected property owners, he would like similar language added in the ordinance amendment for Long Lake Creek or he would the Board to consider each creek separately. Seuntjens stated that if it was the desire to adopt the proposed ordinance amendment, it might make sense to include all of Halsteads Bay. He believed this would better address the phosphorus issue in the area and he questioned whether the Halsteads Area Wetland Preservation Group would agree to this. He recommended that the Board needs to consider whose dghts might be taken away if the proposed ordinance amendment was adopted. Babcock stated that when he purchased his property on Lake Minnetonka, he made sure it supported the type of activities that he desired, without restrictions. He believed the pressure is increasing on marginal areas around the lake because of increased property values and fewer available properties. He stated that he had long-term concern about the District promoting development activity at marginal sites around the lake when the Management Plan calls for reducing rights of grandfathered or marginal locations when density on the lake reaches a certain level. He added that he has generally voted against excessive dock length variances over wetlands because he did not believe this could be sustained long-term. McMillan stated that the public had raised some interesting concepts. She suggested that the Board might want to consider "environmentally sensitive" buoys in the three creeks and restrict motorized watercraft with a limitation on horsepower of motor. Van Hercke questioned whether it would make sense for the Distdct to adopt the ordinance amendment for a period of time and evaluate its effectiveness at a later date. Ahrens cladfied that the discussion on approving something for a period of time and evaluating it a later date pertained to buoy placement. MOTION: Wert moved, Knudsen seconded to approve second reading of the proposed ordinance amendment and.set third reading of it for the 12/12/01 Regular Board Meeting. Weft stated that he would be willing to amend the motion to include a memo summarizing the options relating to grandfathering options for affected property owners on Six Mile Creek. Ahrens questioned why affected residences on Long Lake Creek would not be included in the grandfathering discussions. Wert stated that he believed there was a distinction because the residences on Six Mile Creek are currently storing watercraft at a dock; however, the affected residences on Lake Lake Creek are not currently storing a watercraft. Seuntjens stated that he believed second reading of the proposed ordinance should not be approved at this meeting if there are changes to be made to it. -299- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular ~,oard Meeting November 14, 2001 Page§ McMillan and Skramstad agreed with Seuntjens. Foster stated that it was possible that grandfathefing would cause the Shedfrs Water Patrol problems from an enforcement standpoint. He discussed the idea of using a sticker or a flag, noting that he would check into thiS further with the Sheriff's Water Patrol and that it might not be appropriate to approve second reading at this meeting. Benson requested that her property be grandfathered similar to the properties on Six Mile Creek. AMENDED: Nelson moved, Seuntjens second to table second reading of the proposed ordinance MOTION amendment to the 12/12/01 Regular Board Meeting.

Review of 2001 EWM Final Harvesting Report. Foster asked if the Board had any questions on the 2001 EWM Final Harvesting Report. He complimented the efforts of staff. Seuntjens asked where the milfoil is taken after it is harvested. Harper stated that it is taken to the Arboretum to compost. He added that the EWM Harvesting Program Working Group met on 11/6/01 and there is need for Board action on two items. First, the Working Group recommends that the Board authorize staff to,solicit:proposals for the pumhase of a new pontoon boat for the 2002 EWM Harvesting Season, not to exceed $5,000. Second, the Working Group recommends that the Board authorize staff to solicit proposals for the sale of harvester #3. The harvester replacement schedule recommends that a new harvester be purchased in 2002 and the Working Group recommends that one of the four odginal harvesters purchased in the late 1980's be sold pdor to purchasing a new one. MOTION: McMillan moved, Babcock seconded to authorize staff to: !~ solicit proposals for the purchase of a new pontoon boat for the 2002 EWM Harvesting Season, not to exceed $5,000, and 2) solicit proposals for the sale of harvester ~. -300- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting November 14, 2001 VOTE: Motion carded unanimously, Page10 B.

LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT -303- "Let's Keep Zebra Mussel Out of Lake Minnetonka" MEMO Date: From: December 21, 2001 Dick Osgood, LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION Greg Nybeek, LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT Proposed Prevention Strategies To better facilitate thoughtful discussion and meaningful action, we are presenting a more directive analysis and recommendations regarding strategies and methods for preventing zebra mussel and other exotic species from entering Lake Minnetonka. This step is necessitated by the apparent lack of interest and participation in the previous stakeholder meetings. The LMA and the LMCD are committed to taking every appropriate action to protect Lake Minnetonka. As you review these materials, please do not hesitate to give us your thoughts and comments. We are counting on broad participation to make the final product workable. Thanks. Analysis At our last meeting, we discussed the risk of zebra mussel introductions at various points and modes of entry to Lake Minnetonka. It is clear that trailered (or transient) boats coming fi'om infested waters represent the greatest risk. Other categories, such as transported boats, special events, other activities (catchall category not yet characterized) and tributary lakes also represent risks, but at a Iow volume or are at least controllable. There are several obvious and immediate problems to consider and reconcile: Of all the trailered boats approaching Lake Minnetonka, there is no easy or obvious way to identify those coming from an infested water body, and if they have, there is no way to know whether they have cleaned their boat and trailer. There may be waters with zebra mussels or other exotic species infestations that have not yet been identified as 'infested.' As the number of infested waters increases, the likelihood of bringing exotic species to Lake Minnetonka increases. This comes into play as we consider our working'assumptions regarding prevention actiVities. Recall from the situation analysis: "At a minimum, we know a comprehensive effort will involve 1) identifying boats and other vectors from waters known (or likely) to be infested with zebra mussel, 2) intercepting them and 3) assuring they are clean." LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT -304- "Let's Keep Zebra Mussel Out of Lake Minnetonka" There are only a few available strategies t° keep zebra mussel (and other exotic species) out of Lake Minnetonka: 1. Education/awareness campaigns 2. Inspecting and cleaning boats and trailers leaving known infested waters 3. Inspecting and cleaning boats and trailers entering Lake Minnetonka a. Self or voluntary inspections b. Proprietor or third-party inspections At this point it makes sense to. focus on trailered or transient, boats because this represents the largest volume. As well, if a workable strategy cannot be found for trailered boats, dealing with the other categories becomes a moot issue. Of the strategies listed above, only one appears to offer comprehensive protection for Lake Minnetonka - proprietor or third-party inspections. Education and awareness campaigns have been demonstrated to increase boater awareness and compliance with cleaning their boats and trailers, however, this approach does not assure all boats are clean. Inspecting and cleaning boats and trailers leaving infested 'waters is now being done, however this too is incomplete as a) the inspectors are not at al! boat ramps al!-the time,-b) ~there may be some lakes with infestations that have yet to be identified, andc) sgme.boats come from out-of-state. Finally, self or voluntary inspections are done now to the extent every boater is motivated to do so. Therefore, to provide a comprehensive protection program specifically for Lake Minnetonka, some kind of inspection is required. This conclusion is consistent with the LMCD's Exotic Species Task Force who have recognized and recommended that meaningful protection can only occur through some kind of inspection program. Prevention Strategies Here we discuss the prevention strategies we believe are necessary to keep zebra' mussel and~other exotic species out of Lake Minnetonka. For this analysis, we distinguish strategies from specific actions. - Below, we have listed prevention strategies under the five categories we discussed at our last meeting. Prevention Strategies - Trailered Boats a. Public Access. There is a very large number of trailered watercraft that enter Lake Minnetonka through public accesses. While the number is large, we know the percentage ofthoSe that might carry exotic species is very small. Thus, we envision a two-stage inspection: 1) a quick initial screening and 2) LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT -305- "Let's Keep Zebra Mussel Out of Lake Minnetonka" a more thorough inspection or cleaning for those found to be a higher risk. Trained people would need to staff public boat ramps. b. Marinas The number of boats entering Lake Minnetonka though marinas is small. These would also require a two-stage inspection. The inspection could probably be performed by marina staff who have received training. c. Riparian Trailered boats entering Lake Minnetonka through individual lakeshore properties is small. Most lakeshore owners bring their boats or those of friends onto the lake either through a public access or a marina. The LMA.could provide ~detailed instructions.for cleaning boats and trailers to'all lakeshore owners. There are a few launch facilities associated with homeowner associations. Because these facilities require a multiple dock license from the LMCD, it is possible to include a provision to assure boats are clean. Prevention Strategies - Transpor/~d Boat.q a. Public Access.. Commercially transported boats may use public accesses for delivering a boat to Lake Minnetonka customers, These boats could be subject to the same inspection program as trailered boats. b. Marinas Commercially transported boats may use marinas for delivering a boat to Lake Minnetonka customers. These boats could be subject to the same inspection program as trailered boats. c. Riparian Commercially transported boats are unlikely to use riparian properties for delivering boat to Lake Minnetonka customers.. Prevention Strategies - Special Events a. Public Access All special event sponsors and parfi,.ciPants re~tuir~,9~permit from the LMCD. The LMCD requires that all boats and trailers participati~ in sp~6'i~l'~ts to be clean. b. Marinas All special event sponsors and participants require a permit from the LMCD. The LMCD requires that all boats and trailers participating in special events to be clean. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT -306- "Let's Keep Zebra Mussel Out of Lake Minnetonka" Prevention Strategies - Tributary Lakes There are several lakes that are directly tributary to Lake Minnetonka. Those lakes have few (one or two), if any, accesses. A similar two-stage inspection program should be considered for these lakes. In addition, lakeshore owners around these lakes should receive detailed instructions for assuring their boats are clean upon entering the lake. In addition, these lakes should be monitored for zebra mussel adults and veligers as Lake Minnetonka has. Prevention Strategies - Other Activities To be determined. What Next? Prior to the January 24th meeting, we will be preparing a more detailed action plan following this framework. We recognize there are some obvious challenges to implementing the strategy we have outlined, but we believe this approach is needed to keep zebra mussels out of Lake Minnetonka. At that meeting we will be looking for consensus and asking for an endorsement of the plan. For now, we ask that anyone having comments, concerns or suggestions, contact either of us.

After completion of the application process, the Zero Gravity Skate Park Booster Club will hold a 501 (c) 3 classification and will be able to take over the fiscal responsibility. Our request to you would allow us to begin the fundraising process as soon as possible and allow the donations to be tax deductible for the contributor. In forming the Zero Gravity Skate Park Booster Club, we will be looking at the arrangement with the City of Mound and Wolner Field. Our goal would be to keep City costs at a minimum for the continued maintenance of the skate park. The Booster Club will be able to involve the youth using the skate park and their families in any issues that may come up and keep the skate park fresh and fun.

Focus Topic: Budget Reductions Update 3. Upcoming Events 4. We Want to Hear from You NEWS BRIEFS **Incorrect Numbers for Schools Through Directory Assistance** Do you ever call the telephone company's Directory Assistance to ask for your own telephone number? Neither do we, so we didn't know that the directory assistance numbers for three out of the four K-12 school buildings were incorrect. Fortunately, someone called to tell us about it, because she was - 320- 12/10/2001 Page 2 of 6 frustrated that no one ever answered the number directory assistance had provided for one of the buildings. We're working to solve this problem as quickly as possible. Your feedback is important. We never would have learned about this problem if someone hadn't taken the time to call. Special thanks to that person! ' **You Are Invited to the Superintendent's Roundtables** All school district residents are warmly invited to join Dr. Pam Myers at the first monthly "Superintendent's Roundtable Discussion" on Monday, December 10, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Room 200 of Shirley Hills Primary School. These informal conversations are open to topics of your choice. They're simply an opportunity for you to ask questions and learn more about whatever is on your mind. The Superintendent's Roundtable will meet from 5-6 p.m. on regular school board meeting dates every month: December 10, January 14, February 11, March 11, April 8, May 13, and June 10. For more information, please call 952-491-8007. Hope to see you there! **Practice Safe Snowmobiling: School Property Off Limits** Assuming that we actually do get some snow and snowmobilers are able to get out and enjoy it, we'd like to remind all snowmobilers that Mound city ordinances prohibit snowmobiling on school property. In recent years, snowmobiles have been observed using land near Grandview and/or Shirley Hills as pathways to the lake, and concerns have been raised, often by neighbors, about safety of children who might be playing on or near the property. If you are a snowmobiler, please take extra care to avoid school property when travelling toward the lake. We appreciate your cooperation. **Remembering 1941'* There aren't too many artifacts left from 1941, the year of the attack on Pearl Harbor. (Today we commemorate the 60th anniversary of that attack.) -321 - 12/10/2001 Page 3 of 6 But Joy Grundeen, L.P.N., the school nurse at Shirley Hills Primary School, found one the other day that conjures up memories of times long past. Joy recently found a pillow case, marked "Mound High School, 10-22-41" and brought it up to show Superintendent Pam Myers. While there were laughs all around about how long it takes before something gets thrown out around here, it was also a reminder of how school nurses have lovingly cared for students for decades. And, truth be known, it was a perfectly good, all-cotton pillow case and we'll probably get a lot more use out of it. It could easily be that a current student could lay his head on the same pillowcase that his grandfather rested on 60 years ago. Now, if we could only find the aluminum foil that surely exists somewhere, neatly flattened and folded by one of our predecessors who was thinking, "you never know when it might come in handy." FOCUS TOPIC **Budget Reductions Update** Last week's westonka.news described task forces that are holding their first meetings next week to start exploring options for operating fund cost savings. The task forces will look at areas where cost savings can be achieved by making changes in the way schools operate, as well as actual cuts to be made in programs and staff. The task forces include: (1) Transportation. Task force members will explore cost savings for a variety of possible reduced and/or adjusted student transportation options. This task force, chaired by business director Chuck Herdegen, will meet from 4:30-6 p.m. on Wednesdays, starting December 12, in Room 200 of Shirley Hills Primary School. (2) Calendar. Task force members will review cost savings achieved by possible changes in the school year calendar, including a four-day school week, change in spring break, or year-round school. This task force, chaired by human resources director Mike Looby, will meet from 3:30-5 p.m. on Tuesdays, starting December 11, in Room 200 of.Shirley Hills Primary School. (3) In-District Alternative Learning Centers. Task force members will look at cost savings through operating alternative education programs within the school district for students in grades 5-9, to save tuition paid when students attend these programs elsewhere. Meeting dates and -322- 12/10/2001 Page 4 of 6 times are yet to be determined. Co-chairs will be Kevin Borg, principal of Grandview Middle School, and Gene Zulk, principal of Mound Westonka High School. (4) Primary Education.

Tell Us What You Think NEWS BRIEFS **Mound Westonka High School Gets State Nod for National Award** Gene Zulk, principal of Mound Westonka High School, has been notified that Mound Westonka's application to be named a Blue Ribbon School, the nation's highest K-12 education honor, has been endorsed by the Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning. The school's application has now been forwarded to the national level of competition. - 325 - 12/14/2001 Page 2 of 6 The application will now go through additional screenings to determine if a site visit by a Blue Ribbon School evaluator is merited. If approved, the site visit will take place in Spring 2002. Mound Westonka teacher, Christine Keeley-Zachow, and MWHS parent, Mike Martinson, were key leaders of the Blue Ribbon School application committee. The application process is extraordinarily difficult, requiring hundreds of volunteer hours to prepare it. It was a huge effort by a talented and dedicated committee. We all know Mound Westonka High School is an exceptional school, and Blue Ribbon School status would be richly deserved. To share your congratulations, drop an e-mail to Gene Zulk at zulkg@westonka.k12.mn.us. **Superintendent's Roundtable Participants Ask Questions, Express Concerns** The first monthly Westonka "Superintendent's Roundtable" discussion raised some excellent questions and thoughtful concerns among the ten participants. The monthly roundtables are an opportunity for citizens to meet informally with Superintendent Pam Myers to discuss issues they care about. The inaugural meeting brought out concerns in two general areas, with additional questions that will be researched and discussed at the next discussion: --financial support for the Westonka Public Schools What can parents do to make a difference? How can state and federal funding for education be increased? How can the financial impact of "unfunded mandates" be lessened? How will the district deal with upcoming budget cuts? Do property owners understand the connection between property values and the perceived value of local schools? --community support for the Westonka Public Schools How can the school district do a better job of communicating the value of local community schools? Can we draw any constructive information from negative letter writers that would help the school district earn community support? Additional issues will be researched and discussed at the next roundtable. They include: special education costs; K-12 education funding; collaboration with legislators; research on why the operating levy failed; and an update on budget-related task forces. For more information about the Superintendent's Roundtable, please call 952.491.8007. The next roundtable will meet Monday, January 14, from 5-6 - 326 - 12/14/2001 Page 3 of 6 p.m., in Room 200 of Shirley Hills Primary School. Every meeting is open to the public. **Up-To-Date Sports Schedule Now Online** So it's 1 a.m. and you just can't fall asleep until you check the latest White Hawks scores.

FOCUS TOPIC **Task Force Briefs** Last week's westonka.news described task forces that are exploring options for operating fund cost savings. The task forces will look at areas where cost savings can be achieved by making changes in the way schools operate, as well as actual cuts to be made in programs and staff. The task forces that met last week were: transportation, calendar, primary, and K-12. For information on the task force on in-district alternative learning centers, contact Kevin Borg at 952.491.8301 (borgk@westonka.k12.mn.us), or Gene Zulk, 952.491.8101 (zulkg@westonka.k12.mn.us). For information on the task force examining the use of school buildings, contact Chuck Herdegen at 952.491.8021 (herdegenc@westonka. kl 2. mn. us). Briefs from each group that met follow (exception: transportation notes are not yet available). More detailed notes will be posted on the district web site (www.westonka.k12.mn.us) by the end of next week. You may also write Barbara Olson...(olsonb@westonka.kl2.mn.us) to request a PDF file of the detailed notes. CALENDAR TASK FORCE Chair Mike Looby summarized the committee's charge: to examine cost savings through possible changes in the school year calendar. The committee will focus on three areas for cost savings: -four-day school/work week --earlier "energy week" break rather than later spring break -year-round school For each topic, the task force will consider several aspects of any potential change to the school calendar: -327- 12/14/2001 Page 4 of 6 1) the additional costs of making the change 2) the savings achieved by making the change 3) the advantages of making the change (the pros) 4) the distadvantages of making the change (the cons) The committee generated a list of additional costs, potential savings, pros, and cons for a possible four-day school/work week. Several members offered to gather additional information for the next meeting. Next meeting: January 8, 2002, 3:30-5 p.m., Room 200, Shirley Hills Primary. PRIMARY TASK FORCE Chaired by Supt. Pam Myers, this task force is examining possible cost savings through changing instruction in the primary grades, considering all-day, alternate-day kindergarten and/or reorganizing grade levels in the primary schools. The task force will create a summary of its findings for school board review, no later than Feb. 1. Due to the large size of the primary task force, the members were invited to join one of three subgroups: (1) Logistics: space, transportation -facilitated by Rich Nicoli (2) Classroom instruction: class size, content areas, prep time - facilitated by Joe Wacker (3) Specialist instruction: art, music, pe, media, special education - facilitated by Gwenn Spence Each sub-group is examining the following: If this aspect of Westonka's education program were reorganized, 1.

If applicable, (a)least, (b) medium, (c) maximum reduction Next meeting: Wednesday, January 9, 3:30-4:45 p.m., Shirley Hills Primary, Room 200. K-12 PROGRAM TASK FORCE Chaired by Supt. Pam Myers, this task force is charged with studying cost reductions achieved with increased class sizes in grades 5-12, a longer replacement cycle for textbooks, and discontinuing staff development. Topics discussed at first meeting: a. Class sizes in 2001-2002. Questions for next meeting: --what would class sizes look like if core courses were decreased by one section? -328- 12/14/2001 Page 5 of 6 --What would be the reduction in cost? b. Staff development. Question: What would be the impact of eliminating staff development budgets for a specific period of time? c. Curriculum review (textbook replacement) cycle costs in 2001-2002 Question: what cost savings would occur if the textbook replacement cycle were extended from the current five-year cycle to six or seven years? More information about budget, class size, and staff development will be gathered and brought to the next meeting. Next meeting: Monday, January 7, 3:30-5:00 p.m., SH room 200. ++++++++++++++ For more information about the task forces, or to volunteer to serve on one, please call the superintendent's office at 952-491-8007.

Hanson From: Sent: Subject: "Barbara Olson" <otsonb@westonka.k12. mn. us> Tuesday, December 18, 2001 1:59 PM important notice re information you gave the school district The Westonka School District has been advised by the State of Minnesota that, in order to comply with state law, it must release the information you provided when you subscribed to the district's electronic newsletter, westonka.news. The purpose of this message is to tell you that all the information in the editor's e-mail address book for westonka.news has been released to an individual who requested it. Four additional points: 1) We want you to be aware of the steps taken to ensure that the school district complied with the law. Privacy is an important issue to all of us, and we don't take the matter lightly. 2) Please be advised that the information you provided when you subscribed to westonka.news has been determined by the State to be "public data." 3) The correspondence between any requestor and the school district is also public data. If you wish further information about the individual to whom your information was released, or the context for the request, you may contact the editor by replying to this message. 4) To give readers time to consider their subscription options (see below), westonka.news will take a temporary break from publication, but will resume on January 11, 2002. W/by your information was released As a "government entity," the Westonka School District is required to follow laws regarding the release of public data. According to the Information Policy Analysis Division of the Minnesota Department of Administration, the office that deals with the state Government Data Practices Act, "all the data that government entities keep are public (can be seen by anybody) unless there is a state or federal law that classifies the data as not public." When the individual in this case requested the list of subscribers, the editor consulted with the staff in the Information Policy Analysis Division, who believed that this particular request for data was in -331 - 12/19/2001 Page 2 of 2 "grey area," with no clear precedent for defining public/non-public status. When there is uncertainty about the release of data, government entities may request an advisory opinion from Commissioner of Administration. Therefore, the Westonka School District made an advisory opinion request to the Commissioner on November 5. The advisory opinion was received yesterday afternoon, December 17. An advisory opinion is not binding. However, a court must give deference to the opinion if there were to be a proceeding that involves the data in dispute.

It is a wonderful building; a true tribute to the community and its people. The Center is a beehive of activity with programs, classes, lunches, and social gatherings and community functions. Managing a large facility like this is a new experience for our volunteers, many of whom come early and stay late to learn what is needed to make Thc Oillcspic Center run efficiently. Our dream has become reality ....... at least the dream of a building. The reality is that it will cost between $90,000 and $100,000 per year to keep this building open. A facility such as The Gillespie Center incurs large operating expenses. For example, we expect our utility bills alone to average more than $3,500 per month. We have one final construction payment to be made that totals $ 57,108. Our future plan for the Center is to have the rental income fully support the operating overhead of this wonderful community asset. In conversations with other similar centers, it appears that it will likely take approximately three years to achieve that volume of rental income. Besides rentals, we rely solely on contributions from all from all age groups and the money earned by the seniors through various fund raising endeavors. These fund raising endeavors that include separating papers for a local business, business promotional mailings, dinners and other events, are all accomplished by a wonderful group of volunteers. Our current cash flow is extremely critical! Therefore we must again ask for your help. Whatever dollar amount you can send will be greatly appreciated since it is truly necessary for our continuing survival. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. REMEMBER YOUR Gwr IS 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Cities issuing wine licenses to supermarkets would be required to conduct at least one compliance check each year Discussion and ultimate passage of this resolution caught most by surprise. In fact, it appears the majority of the AFL - CIO membership was not consulted on the matter. You are receiving this letter'because we again need your assistance in the Wine (Beer & Liquor) in Grocery (WIG) battle. As you know, WIG legislation will negatively impact your city's ability to control alcohol distribution. However, it will also create a negative financial situation for your city - at a time when national, state, county and municipal budgets are in cdsis. Most municipalities have employees, inside and / or outside the municipal liquor department, who are members of the AFL -:- CIO. -These employees include members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), Association of Federal, State, County Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and 49ers. You are encouraged to distribute this information to these employees. It would be very helpful if_they contact their union representatives expressing their opposition to this resolution, It would also be helpful to contact / send copies of any correspondence to the following state leadership: AFSCME Chris Cowen 300 Hardman Avenue South, Suite 2 South St. Paul, MN 55075 651.451.7678 -335- UFCW Steve Gilbertson 266 Hardman Avenue North South St. Paul, MN 55075 651.451.6420 49ers.

Thank you very much for your participation in this important matter. Since r.e..I.y,-"'~ -336- lesalers Association Opposes Wine in Grocery Stores During the 2001 legislative session the members of the Minnesota Beer Wholesalers Association opposed the "wine in grocery stores" bill. As we lobbied the bill we were asked by legislators why we were opposed to a bill that addressed wine sales, not beer sales. That was not a difficult question to answer. Here's what we said: Public Safety State and local laws requiring that alcohol beverages be sold through exclusive liquor stores came about because the state was concerned about public safety. Exclusive liquor stores, both municipal and private, are more highly regulated than other retail outlets. They provide the highest degree of accountability for responsible" sales. In addition, in recent years the state has heard a great deal of testimony about limited availability. Again, highly regulated exclusive liquor stores provide that limited availability. For example, both state and local law strictly regulate hours of sale for alcohol beverages. In addition, clerks making sales in liquor stores must be 18 years of age to legally sell alcohol beverages. Grocery stores would be hard-pressed to replace the high school age clerks in their stores with clerks 18 years and olden market - the advantage of choice. Approximately 14,000 wine, beer and liquor labels are registered with the Department of Public Safety Division of Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement and are sold at retail through exclusive liquor stores. In addition consumers purchasing alcohol beverages in liquor stores have the advantage of being waited on by knowledgeable clerks and owners who can advise them on purchases. _Why Fix What Isn't Broken? We have an exceptional system for retailing alcohol beverages in Minnesota that provides: The Two Systems Presently Co-exist .On An Even Playing Field Under current Minnesota statute, grocers can now have a retail liquor outlet. The outlet can be as close to the grocery store as the thickness of a glass partition or a fence, and a separate entrance. The outlet is an exclusive liquor store that provides the same high degree of concern for public safety as is provided by other exclusive liquor stores. Consumer Advantages In the exclusive liquor store, the consumer has the most important advantage available in today's global · a controllable, orderly exchange of alcohol beverages between retailer and consumer; · an amazing variety of products from which to choose; · stores that provide the consumer with a comfortable atmosphere in which to shop. The members of the Minnesota Beer Wholesalers Association who service the exclusive liquor stores in the state of Minnesota opposed the "wine in grocery stores" bill because we believe a change in the system currently governing is, indeed "fixing a system that isn't broken."

We value the importance of our relationship with the City of Mound staff and want you to be among the first to hear this news. The Park District has been considering a name change for a number of years. The common name Hennepin Parks has had many successes, but it does not accurately reflect the seven-county geographic distribution of our park properties and has been a source of confusion for the public. The Scott County Board of Commissmners requested that we consider adopting a name that better represents our joint powers agreement,with them. We concurred that a common name change is ~mportant for the futu?e of the Park District. Surveys of the public and of our volunteers confirmed a general misunderstanding of our jurisdiction as a special park district in the State of Minnesota. The name "Three Rivers Park District" was approved unanimously on December 6 by our Board of Commissioners. The name was selected with the assistance of a professional naming consultant following considerable public and staff input. We are very excited to become Three Rivers Park District and have chosen the name to reflect the following: · geographic distribution of regional park properties .within the watersheds of the Mississippi, Minnesota and Crow Rivers; and, · rich cultural history of these three rivers and how they have shaped our community.. Although the Park District is changing its common name, its mission to promote enwronmental stewardship through recreation and education in a natural resources-based park system remains unchanged as its foremost priority. As it has for the past 40 plus years, Ihe Park District will continue to evolve for the benefit of our constituents. Enclosed you will find a news release and fact sheet that we wilI'be sending out to the media and other associates later this Week. We hope you will share in our excitement as we introduce our new identity to the public. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 763/559-6748. Sincerely, and Secretary to the Board Enclosure -340- Hennepin Parks is Becoming Three Rivers Park District Background Information Sheet December 2001 BACKGROUND: The Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District is changing its common name from Hennepin Parks to Three Rivers Park District. Although the Park District's name is changing, it will remain the same great system it has been for more than 40 years. The name change was unanimously approved by the Park District's Board of Commissioners on Dec. 6, 2001, and will become more visible to the public by next spring and fully implemented by the fall of 2002. The Park District's legal name, "Suburban Hermepin Regional Park District," is not proposed to change at this time. Qe Qo What is Hennepin Parks? Hennepin Parks is a natural resources-based special park district that maintains more than 26,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, regional trails and special-use facilities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The Park District is an independent unit of government with properties in seven metropolitan counties. Established by the state legislature in 1957, the Park District was first known as the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. In 1985, the Park District adopted the legal name "Suburban Hermepin Regional Park District" and the common name "Hennepin Parks." The Park District offers year-round facilities including: three nature centers, four golf courses, a downhill ski area, extensive trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing, and areas for camping, swimming, boating, picnicking, ice-skating, and snowshoeing. It serves more than three million visitors every year. The Park District's unique policy for planning and management of natural resources has earned it international recognition as a leader in natural resources management. The policy specifies that no more than 20 percent of a park reserve may be developed for active use and that at least 80 percent of a park reserve shall be restored to and retained in a natural state. Why is Hennepin Parks changing its name to Three Rivers Park District? The Park District is changing its common name to better reflect its presence in seven metropolitan coUnties, its unique status as a special park district established by the state legislature, and its affiliation with the Metropolitan Regional Park System. In addition, the Scott County Board of Commissioners has asked the Park District to consider a name change. The name "Three Rivers Park District" was selected because the watersheds of each Park District's property flow into one of three rivers: the Mississippi, Minnesota or Crow. Rich in cultural history, these three rivers played a significant role in the lives of Minnesota's Dakota People and in the lives of the many immigrants to the area. Where are the Park District's Properties? The Park District owns and operates parkland in suburban Hennepin, Scott, Carver and Dakota Counties. It also owns parkland in Anoka, Ramsey and Wright counties that it currently leases to other agencies. -341 - QJ How was the Park District's new name selected? The name was selected with the help of a professional naming consultant following considerable public and staff input. This process included marketing surveys of people who reside within the Park District's jurisdiction. Survey participants were asked numerous questions to gauge their understanding of the Park District's presence in multiple counties and to gauge.the public's perception of several names that were considered for the Park District/ The survey reiterated the Park District's need for a name that better reflects its multi-county jurisdiction, : :~: "' How will the name change be implemented? The name change will be phased in over a one-year period. The Park District plans to formally introduce the Three Rivers Park District name in May. It will take several months for the Park District to replace durable goods such as signs, clothing and vehicle emblems. Non-durable goods such as stationary will be replaced as current supplies are exhausted. How much will the name change roll out cost? With a phased-in implementation approach, the Park District anticipates that the name change costs will be minimal. Many of the costs associated with the name change will be absorbed into existing budgets as most materials, would need to be purchased annually regardless of a name change. Other purchases have been put on hold in anticipation of the name change. In addition, the Park District is seeking corporate sponsors to help offset the costs associated with the educational campaign that will be necessary to inform the public of the new name. Will the Park District's mission and services change with the name change? The park DistriCt'~s.first and foremost mission is' to Promote environmengl stewardship through recreation and education in a natural resources-based park system. Three Rivers Park District will proudly carry forward this mission. To foster this mission, the Park District will continue its extensive natural resources management program which includes forestry, water quality and wildlife resource management efforts. The Park District also will continue to offer hundreds of informative and enjoyable outdoor education and recreation programs and special events as well as lessons to enhance the public's enjoyment of lifetime outdoor recreation.

Although the Park District's name is changing, it will remain the same wonderful system it has been for more than 40 years, and will continue to evolve for the benefit of its ~.itors. Seeking an identity that better reflects the Park District's presence in seven counties, the Hennepin Parks Board of Commissioners on Dec. 6 voted unanimously to change the Park District's common name from Hennepin Parks to Three Rivers Park District. The new name will become more visible to the public next spring and will be fully implemented by the fall of 2002. The Park District's legal name, "Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District," is not proposed to change at this time. The name "Three Rivers Park District" was selected because of the geographic distribution of Park District properties, which are located within watersheds that flow into three rivers: the Mississippi, Minnesota or Crow. Rich in cultural history, these three rivers played a significant role in the lives of Minnesota's Dakota People and the many immigrants to the area. The name was selected with'the assistance of a professional naming consultant following considerable public and staff input. -more- -344- Three Rivers Park District/2 "Hennepin Parks is a common name that has had many successes, but one that the Park District has outgrown," said Douglas Bryant, superintendent of the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District. "The name Hennepin Parks no longer adequately identifies the Park District. In fact, in a recent survey, 68 percent of Park Patrons and Volunteers, persons most familiar with the Park District, don't understand our jurisdiction as an independent unit of government in the State of Minnesota. A new name is important for the Park District to better represent the geographic distribution of our park areas and facilities as well as our responsibilities as an implementing agency of the Metropolitan Regional Park System not affiliated with one single county. This new name is vital to the long-term success of the Park District, pursuant to our enabling legislation, as it will enable us to broaden public support for the tremendous quality of life resources that we have in our parks." Established by the Minnesota Legislature in 1957 as the Hennepin County Park Reserve District, the Park District was renamed Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District by legislative action and adopted the informal name Hennepin Parks in 1985. As the only special park district in the state, Three Rivers Park District is responsible for the acquisition, development and maintenance of large park reserves, regional parks and regional trails for the citizens of the metropolitan areas and the State of Minnesota. A special park district is an independent unit of government responsible for parkland acquisition, operations, preservation and environmental stewardship. The Park District owns and operates parkland in suburban Hennepin, Scott, Carver and Dakota Counties. It also owns parkland in Anoka, Ramsey and Wright counties that it currently leases to other agencies. With more than 26,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, regional trails and special-use areas, the Park District attracts more than three million visitors each year. The Park District provides numerous regional park facilities including three nature centers, four golf courses, a downhill ski area, extensive trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing, as well as areas for camping, swimming, fishing, boating, picnicking, and snowshoeing. -more- -345- Three Rivers Park District/3 ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS REMAINS IN FOREFRONT Although the name of the Park District has changed, its mission to promote environmental stewardship through recreation and education in a natural resources-based park system remains its foremost priority. The Park District's policy for planning and management of natural resources has distinguished it from other park and recreation agencies in Minnesota. This unique policy specifies that no more than 20 percent of a park reserve may be developed for active use, and that at least 80 percent of a park reserve shall be restored to and retained in a natural state. As a result, the Park Dislrict has been actively involved in the preservation and restoration of wildlife and plant species. Once-rare osprey, bald eagles, sandhill cranes and trumpeter swans are now nesting in the park reserves. Woodland and prairie restorations have been accomplished using native wildflowers, shrubs and trees produced from seed collected in the park reserves by staff and volunteers. Park visitors are offered abundant opportunities to view and learn about the resources within each park. Careful routing of bike, hike and ski trails provides intimate views of woodlands, wetlands and prairies, as well as the that inhabit them. In addition, the Park District's knowledgeable team of outdoor education and recreation specialists provides a variety of programs that foster a better understanding of our environment. WORKING TOGETHER Regardless of its name, the Park District will carry forward Hennepin Parks' reputation for working with other government agencies to ensure quality recreational opportunities for the public. Since 1973, the Park District has operated regional facilities in Scott County as a result of a joint powers agreement between the two agencies. A nine-member Scott-Hennepin Park Advisory Board will continue to advise the Scott County Board and Three Rivers Park District Board of Commissioners on matters related to these regional park properties. The Scott County Board appoints six members to the advisory board and the Three Rivers park District Board of Commissioners appoints three members. -more- -346- Three Rivers Park District/4 Three Rivers Park District also will continue to work cooperatively with the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, Metropolitan Council and State Legislature as one of 10 implementing agencies of the Metropolitan Regional Park System. This system of parks was established in 1974 by the Minnesota State Legislature and collectively serves more than 29 million park guests per year in the seven-county metropolitan area, providing outdoor education/recreation facilities, services and programs.

In an effort to staX in front of emerging issues dealing with the use of L~/ke Minnetonka and its shorelands, the LMA Board has adopted three statements to help guide our efforts, as well as those of other municipalities and management agencies. ~e new LMA statements follow: #1 "Public access to Lake Minnetonka occurs via facilities ranging from small, unimproved and un- maintained rights-of-way to large improved facilities. The Lake Minnetonka Association recognizes the public right to have access to and use Lake Minnetonka as a public water body. · Provide and maintain adequate parking and access facilities · Provide more effective and efficient law enforcement" # 2 "Lake Minnetonka is the most heavily-used lake in Minnesota. Demand for access to Lake Minnetonka ~gminue~ to grow, thereby jeopardizing safe and enjoyable use of the lake. Pressure is growing to develop marginal lands and tributary areas on and around Lake Minnetonka, which essentially would expand the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and create new motorized watercraft access points to the lake. Concerns with neighborhood disruption, noise, parking, waste and sanitary management, and law enforcement tend to intensify as the size and operation of public accesses get smaller. To facilitate safe and orderly public access to Lake Minnetonka, the Lake Minnetonka Association supports consolidating public access to larger facilities that: · Provide a separation and buffer from residential areas · Provide for sanitary and waste disposal The Lake Minnetonka Association opposes any proposal or development that would expand the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and provide motorized watercraft access to the Lake from a tributary that is outside the current shoreline of Lake Minnetonka.' #3 "Lake Minnetonka has 131 miles of Lake Use, continued on page 5 LMA Board Elects Mitch Olson as Chair Mitch Olson was elected chair of the LMA Board at the October meeting of the of Directors. Olson succeeds Bob Beutler at the helm, who was first elected in 1997. Buetler, will continue serving on the Board of Directors. Candi Stabeck was elected to continue serving as vice-chair of the LMA Board.

Since that time, we have made numerous accomplishments and are on track to tackle important issues facing us. For example: 1. We have an invigorated Board of Directors. Joining Bob Beutler and Candi Stabeck, who are providing continuity, are new Board members Mike Mason, Mitch Olson, Jane Regnier, Carol Stauter and Gedney Tuttle. The Board holds regular meetings and is engaged in new member recruitment, fundraising and activities. 2. The LMA has established ~ ,_ credible relationships and partnerships with local governmental agencies, such as the LMCD and the Excelsior Area Chamber of Commerce, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and Hennepin Parks. 3. The LMA has produced a regular cable TV production on local cable channel 21. Following the series of education and training programs produced through the Lake Minnetonka Citizens Monitoring and Education Network, we have produced several new shows talking about issues facing Lake Minnetonka and the work of the LMA. 4. The LMA initiated a forward- looking, proactive program to keep bra mussels out of Lake innetonka (read more about this on page 4). 5. The LMA is involved in the Minnesota Lakes Association Exotic Species Task Team. In fact, I am is serving as chair of the team. In this role, I represent the LMA on important exotic species management issues. For example, the Minnesota Lakes Association is supporting an accelerated schedule for allowing fluridone herbicide for use in milfoil control in Minnesota lakes. 6. The LMA newsletter, "On the Lake," is being published on a r6gular (quarterly) schedule and sent to over 8,000 residents, businesses and community representatives around Lake Minnetonka. Your Membership is the Kev to Our Strength and Effectiveness We're off to a great start. The LI~IA is out in front of important issues affecting our lake. The LMA is working cooperatively with the LMCD and other agencies. The LMA is setting the agenda in the areas of milfoil, zebra mussels and lake use (the three M's). Now we need to broaden the base. The response to our appeals for membership support and other contributions has been encouraging. Earlier this year, we asked for memb.e, rship .rene~a!.s~t an increased rate of $50. Not bnly did we get more of you joining and re-joining, a great many have included additional contributions. Thank you! Now we hope to step up the pace. We have about 300 individuals and business who have contributed so far this year. However, there are about 5,000 iakeshore owners and another 3,000 businesses and others around the lake who have an identified interest in Lake Minnetonka. To be an effective and sustainable organization speaking for the interests of the Lake Minnetonka community, the LMA needs a basic operating budget of around $100,000. While we are pursuing grants and other kinds of financial support, we believe the bulk of our support should come from individuals and businesses around the lake. It takes only 2,000 contributions at the basic membership level to achieve this modest budget. iNhile we are pleased that support for the LMA is up from the past several years, we need a stronger show of support. Membership support is important for two reasons: 1. Our collective voice is strengthened by broad public support and 2. Your financial support keeps us .operating. I am asking those who have not yet contributed to do so today. In addition, I am asking each of you to remind your friends, neighbors and acquaintances to send in their contributions too. Thanks. Page [FaU 2001 -354- Zebra Mussel Campaign Gets Running Lake Minnetonka is at risk of a zebra mussel infestation. Because over 300,000 watercraft are launched on Lake Minnetonka every boating season, the risk is relatively high. Just one boat that is carrying zebra mussel represents a significant threat. For the same reasons Lake Minnetonka was the first lake in Minnesota to get Eurasian watermilfoil, it is also likely to be one of the first lakes to get zebra mussel. Why is the LMA concerned? Zebra mussel is a nuisance that will cause real damage to property. Moreover, broken shells that wash onto shores are very sharp and render beaches unsafe for the public to use. Once the lake is infested, zebra mussel will be impossible to eradicate. The LMA and the LMCD jointly have initiated an effort to develop an action plan aimed at positive and aggressive measures to keep those pests out of our lake. Both organizations know this will be a huge challenge, but they are committed to making a serious effort. The LMA is dedicated to this effort and will be an active participant in meetings over the winter. The goal is to have meaningful and effective measures in place at the beginning of the 2002 lake season. Dick Osgood wrote a report, called a "Situation Analysis," that was used by the participants at the kick-off meeting on October 30. Copies of the report are available from the LMA by calling 952-476-0883. Watershed District Drafts 2002-06 CIP Plan The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has circulated its 2002 - 2006 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for public comment prior to its formal adoption. The District proposes to spend about $9 million in structural projects and $5 million programs over the next five years. Many of these are meant to address water quality concerns in Lake Minnetonka.

These alterations may serve important functions, such as shoreline protection, but one result has also been the loss of habitat for fish and wildlife. Until recently, the only practical alternative to these shoreland improvements has been t° 'leave the shore wild.' Now, there is another alternative referred to as Lakescaping. Lakescaping is simply landscaping on the lake shp,re which p~rovides an more natural altermit~ve to structural or artificial shore landscaping and erosion control. Lakescaping can benefit Lake Minnetonka by improving fish and wildlife habitat, providing shoreline protection and enhancing the lake's aesthetics. The Lake Minnetonka Association supports public and private efforts to use lakescaping on the shore of Lake Minnetonka."

Fall 2001 Page -356- LMA Encourages Use of Zero Phosphorus Fertilizers The LMA Board has adopted a resolution in support of a statewide restriction on the sale of phosphorus- containing lawn fertilizers. Phosphorus causes excess algae blooms when it enters lakes through runoff from lawns and other hard surfaces. Recent studies have shown that the vast majority of urban lawns have adequate levels of phosphorus and, therefore, do not need the addition of phosphates through fertilizers. Under the proposal, homeowners still will be able to purchase phosphorus- containing fertilizers if a soil test shows it is needed for their lawns. This legislation would not affect agricultural fertilizers. Lake Minnetonka lakeshore owners and others in the watershed can do their part to reduce phosphorus entering the lake by using lawn fertilizers that contain zero phosphorus (as indicated by the middle number in the formula = '0' on the bag). If you think your lawn needs phosphorus, you may want to have a simple soil test conducted. For information about soil testing or to have a soil test conducted, call the Yard and Garden Line Of the University of Minnesota Extension at 612-624-4771. Soil samples can be mailed in to Extension, take about a week to complete and cost just $10. Dick Osgood has been working with a group of concerned citizens and municipal officials organized by Shorewood's Mayor Woody Love to fashion and introduce legislation restricting the sale of phosphorus fertilizers.

The business community's priorities, which local chambers across the state have helped to shape, offer strategies and direction to ensure the state's economic security. Local chambers of commerce have played a key role in our policy development process beginning last May with more than 30 policy development sessions across the state. These meetings were followed by a statistically valid poll of our members. The results were the same. Reducing the growth of health care costs, increasing transportation funding, passing civil justice reforms, ensuring the future of our electric supply and protecting property tax reforms ranked as top priorities. Currently, local chambers are reviewing drafts of the priority policies and all of our policies are available for review and comment by local chambers. When we deliver these policies to legislators at the end of January, it is critical that they reflect a unified voice of business across the state. Many of these policies, particularly those at the top of the priority list, are also adopted by local chambers of commerce and forwarded to their local legislators. Specifically, our priorities for the 2002 Legislature include: Health care - increase competition; review and repeal mandates that do not show measurable health improvement and continue to stress the need to reduce health care costs by eliminating taxes. Transportation - increase investment in our transportation infrastructure and transit, beginning with a bonding package and increasing program efficiency. Taxes - protect our hard won property tax reform; prevent increases in the price of government and support restructuring of the corporate income tax. Civil Justice - reform joint and several liability and pass job reference protection legislation. Electricity - ensure our future electricity supply by increasing generation and transmission capability and providing greater flexibility for customers and utilities. The Minnesota Chamber will remain focused on moving the business agenda forward in these challenging economic times. We will also remain practical in our approach. I can assure you that the combination of well-researched proposals, statewide grass roots support and practical policies will yield positive results for Minnesota companies. -362- ~2~ Metropolitan Council Building communities that work December 19, 2001 Chicago Tribune touts Twin Cities' regional successes in affordable housing in the suburbs, cites Metropolitan Council role as key factor The Chicago Tribune, in a news story on November 6, 2001, featured the Twin Cities' region's accomplishments in affordable housing in suburban communities and the role of housing in connecting workers with jobs. Twin Citians understand that affordable housing is key to our region's continued economic competitiveness Housing for all income levels makes a community more livable, and more economical.

Now you have some sense of the transformation under way in Minneapolis' prosperous, mostly white suburbs. In a fundamental shift of public policy and sentiment, those suburbs have welcomed the likes of 29-year-old Ethrophic Burnett. A native of Chicago's Robert Taylor Homes, Burnett last fall moved into a townhouse on a pond in this suburb at the edge of the Twin Cities' sprawl. "In Chicago, I would have never had the opportunity for this," she said while sitting on her back balcony, overlooking what she calls "a smaller Buckingham Fountain" as her four young girls played inside her home. Burnett isn't exaggerating. More than three decades after the landmark Gautreaux lawsuit sought to break up Chicago's public housing projects and integrate the mostly poor African-American residents into white city and suburban neighborhoods, the CHA has never persuaded a single suburb to build an apartment for the agency. Instead families moved into private suburban apartments with the help of rent vouchers. But the Gautreaux case spawned more than a dozen similar lawsuits, including one settled in 1995 to more broadly scatter Minneapolis' public housing. And while cities from Dallas to Baltimore have run headlong into the same reluctance as Chicago's suburbs, at least 15 Twin Cities suburbs have said yes to public housing. The numbers involved are modest: Nearly 500 families are expected to be moved to those towns by spring to help replace 770 public housing apartments demolished in the city. Even so, veterans of the long fight to better blend public housing into communities use words such as "wonderment" to describe what has happened here. It is hard to overstate just how much affordable housing has captured the public's attention here. A poll released last week on Minneapolis' upcoming mayoral election showed housing was the biggest concern of voters, far ahead of safety, even after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. For years, the CHA and other big housing authorities have talked about weaving public housing into the fabric of the rest of the community. But perhaps nowhere has that vision taken shape as it has in the affluent communities ringing Minneapolis and St. Paul. The ambassadors of this new public housing program are people such as Jennifer Bagwell and Dmitri Jarrett. The 30-year-old single mothers, who live across a cul-de-sac from each other in the suburb of Maple Grove, believe many in their new community didn't want them They know what the words "affordable housing" evoke. "It's got a stigma to it," Bagwell said. "It means crime. It means drugs. It means ghetto. And it means unsafe. "But that's not true. Where I live is a very safe place. Where I live, people are hardworking and trying to better themselves." So how did the sales pitch to the Twin Cities' suburbs succeed where even powerful mayors such as Richard M. Daley have failed? For starters, suburban developers, politicians and business leaders were the public face of the effort, not Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton. "We didn't cram anything down anyone's throats," Sayles Belton said. "You have to go in as collaborators." Behind the scenes, she led a task force of area mayors that struggled with how best to promote a product -364- that decades of failed social policy had made into a pariah. "At our first meeting, we couldn't agree that we could even call this affordable housing. People wanted to call it 'housing for working families' because calling it affordable housing would raise red flags. "Well, the red flags are already up," the mayor said. "And the red flags are what keep people from taking action." Another key factor was the role of the Twin Cities' Metropolitan Council, the regional planning agency that helped broker agreements between the suburbs and the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority. The Council succeeded where other regional agencies haven't partly because it has teeth they lack, including control over certain transit, sewer, housing and other funds. The council has persuaded nine suburbs to host 150 public housing units--nearly a third of the 490 families required to get suburban public housing under the 1995 court settlement. The first family under the council's program moved last week to Maple Grove, the same northwest suburb where Gov. Jesse Ventura has a 32- acre ranch. In addition to the efforts of the Metropolitan Council, the Minneapolis and several suburban housing agencies already had successfully moved families to the suburbs. Bagwell and Jarrett moved in late 1999 with the help of Maple Grove and Minneapolis agencies. But a more crucial roason these su§drbs have opened their doors to public housing is the increasing need to connect workers with jobs. With employers clamoring for lower-priced homes so their $1 O-an-hour laborers can live nearby, affordable housing has moved far beyond the moral question of finding shelter for the poorest citizens. "The public is way ahead of the politicians on this. Most of the politicians are scared," said Ted Mondale, the Ventura-appointed chairman of the Metropolitan Council and son of former Vice President Walter Mondale. "The business community understands that this is bottom line to economic growth." Mondale insists the racially tinged arguments over public housing are dated. "We've moved beyond the idea that the goal of this is to site Cabrini-Greens out in the suburbs," he said. "The affordable housing has to look like the other housing. That has nothing to do with race; it has to do with quality." Against this backdrop, the City Council of Edina--another affluent and overwhelmingly white suburb--voted 4- 1 last spring to accept 20 public housing units. Edina's mayor, Dennis Maetzold, said the reason for the vote was simple: The city's largest employer, a local hospital, told the council there wasn't enough housing in town for its entry-level staff. For all the housing program's success, not everyone agrees with its approach. Eagan Mayor Patricia Awada says the court settlement that is scattering public housing was "a complete set- up by the city of Minneapolis and housing activists simply to dump more money into affordable housing and disburse it out of their city and into other cities." Such policy debates don't interest Ethrophic Burnett much. She grew up in the last building before The Hole, a notorious cluster of high rises at the south end of Chicago's Robert Taylor Homes. "Generally, I've felt welcome. I love this house," she"~aid. "Minnesota has been very good to me."

Staff seamed very involved with the kids and really got to knowthe parks participants. Staff worked Well communicating, following expectations, planning out curriculum, and filling shifts. The program was designed as a drop in program where participants 5-12 years old could participate in theme based activities for free at their local neighborhood park. The program is funded through the City of Mound Parks Department. Communication between Jim Fackler, Director of Parks for the City of Mound and Community Ed was smooth and efficient. New playground installed at some of the park locations enhanced the enjoyment for participanm The summer was extremely hot which caused for a lot of water activities, trips to' local beaches, and relaxing activities and art projects. We added the afternoon schedule and staff felt it was to hot in the afternoons, but was still very well attended. The last day of the summer program, participants had the opportunitY to register for a trip to Mtka Regional Park. The bus picked participants up at all the park sites. 65 kids attended the trip. The morning began with rotations of snack, nature, games, and arts. Then the participants ate lunch, went to the beach, and ended the day at the Playground. This was an exciting end of the summer activity that brought all the kids together for a very enjoyable recreational experience. A bit about the program: New this year weadded themes, curriculum based activities, and aftemoon programming. We felt that there were many oppommities for Westonka Area children in the mornings through enrichment, camps, and area programs. We decided to schedule the playground program to make it accessible to majority-of users. I think this opportunity was a great option for families, despite some of the extremely hot summer days. Adding afternoons also helped to recruit staff to offer a full day employment package. ~ Week 1: Super Silly Summer, Week 2: Animal Adventures, Week 3: Wacky World of Sports, Week 4: Wet and Wild Water Week, Week 5: Around the Nation Escape, Week 6: Goofy Olympics Excitement.

The City and the Parks Department staff were extremely helpful and communication was smooth. We hope to make some facility improvements to the beaches we guard at to help provide enhanced service and safety. Many hot summer days led to busy beaches and limited closed beach days. In summary, protecting the safety of our beaches and overseeing one of Mounds signature park facilities is priceless. Guards were insuring safety and proper use of Mound Bay Park 7 days a week. Due to an extremely hotsummer attendance was up and the beaches and park facility were well used by residents, day cares, and visitors. Music in the Park 2001: This summer Westonka Community Education & Services coordinated the ninth annual Music in the Park concert series. A total of five concerts were held throughout the summer on Thursday evenings at Mound Bay Park. Each concert drew crowds of 200-300 people. The performances included a variety of music and entertainment which included Classic Rock'n'roll, Swing music, Children's music, Dixlieland music, and Summertime Rock'n'roll. These concerts provided an opportunity for people in the community to enjoy musical performances while enjoying the park facilities. -367- 2001 Music in the Park Budget Summary ,usiness 'Looks Salon Hardware Specialties of the Lake Church Laundry Jubilee Foods ;row River Bank Bill Erickson Mound Family Hardware True Value e of Minnetonka Beach Reliant Energy Minnegasco Restaurant Chamberlain-Goudy V.F.W.
