ACQUISITION OF THE DAKOTA RAIL CORRIDOR WHEREAS, the Dakota Rail right-of-way is a beautiful, unique and valuable transportation corridor that serves the area from Wayzata to Hutchinson; and WHEREAS, the Dakota Railroad corridor was recently purchased by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA); and WHEREAS, the HCRRA is presently evaluating the financial feasibility of restoring freight rail service on the corridor, including specifically the cost of infrastructure improvements and repairs necessary to make the corridor safe and efficient for freight rail service; and WHEREAS, the Dakota Railroad is in a state of severe deterioration and any future use of the corridor for freight rail service will require the expenditure of a significant amount of public funds for rehabilitation of track, bridges, drainage facilities, and other infrastructure; and WHEREAS, past sales of portions of the real estate within the corridor by rail operators has unnecessarily diminished the usefulness of this unique "east-west" corridor for future public transportation uses; and WHEREAS, the use of the Dakota Railroad corridor as a continuous recreational trail is in the public interest because pedestrians using the corridor, including specifically our youth, will not be exposed to the hazards associated with mixing pedestrian and vehicular traffic on a single corridor; and WHEREAS, the preservation of the Dakota Rail right-of-way as a continuous corridor is essential to enabling the corridor to effectively serve the current and future transportation need of the area; and WHEREAS, the Dakota Rail corridor provides a continuous transportation connection between the cities on the north and west shores of Lake Minnetonka; and WHEREAS, the Dakota Rail corridor can provide pedestrian transportation options that can help relieve traffic pressure on County Road 15 and provide a safe pedestrian transportation alternative; and ! -1006- Resolution No. 02- WHEREAS, the acquisition of the Dakota Rail right-of-way required coordination, cooperation, vision, and persistence by the County Commissioners of the three counties through which the corridor passes; and WHEREAS, the outstanding and persistent efforts of the Hennepin County Staff were critical to the successful acquisition of the corridor.

BACKGROUND Over the past 6 months, the various City Commissions and City Council have reviewed the Kells Lane vacation request submitted by Jonathan Paul. During the review, there have been a number of issues and concerns raised regarding the vacation of public right-of-way, public lake access, improvements to public lands, the rights of adjacent/surrounding private property owners and the possible sale of City land. At its October 23, 2001 regular meeting, the City Council directed City staffto take a broader review of the vacation request. Specifically, the City Council was interested in the following items: If other abutting property owners were interested in participating in the vacation proposal; 2. The value of the City owned Lot 6; If and where the County would allow an entrance permit to Wilshire from Lot 6; and The proposed new arrangement of property lines assuming portions of Kells Lane were vacated and the City were to sell Lot 6 to Jon Paul and Jeff and Pam Paul. - 1020- p. 2 Kells Lane Executive Surmnary Report January 14, 2002 PROJECT REVIEW Details regarding the vacation request from Jonathan Paul and Jeff and Pam Paul are contained in Planning Report No. 01-46 which has been included as Exhibit A. PROCEDURE City Council Public Hearing. Minnesota State Statutes Section 412.851 states that a statutory city may abandon ownership or control over all or any part of the land they have set aside, dedicated or used as streets or alleys and further states that a City Council may initiate the action by resolution or by the submission of a petition by a majority of the landowners and the owners of at least 50 percent of the land area. Procedurally, state statute requires that the City Council must hold a public hearing on the proposal following two weeks of published and posted notice. The City must also provide written notice to each affected owner at least (10) days before the public hearing. The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Laker on February 9, 2002 and February 16, 2002. The Notice of Public Hearing was posted on February 11, 2002. The Notice of Public hearing was mailed to affected property owners on February 13, 2002. Planning Commission Public Hearing. City policy also requires that any proposed street vacation request is also reviewed by the Planning Commission at an informal public hearing. The request was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its January 7, 2002 meeting. To summarize, the Planning Commission supported the vacation of the involved portion of Kells Lane but recommended that an alternate reconfiguration of Lot 6 be considered and further commented that the "western" portion of Kelts Lane should also be vacatedi! Please refer to Exhibit B which includes a concept drawing of the Planning Commission's proposal. A copy of the January 7, 2002 meeting minutes has been included as Exhibit C. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Fees. City staff suggests that all involved fees associated with both the original and revised vacation requests be split equally between the City / Jonathan Paul / Jeff' and Pam Paul. As of December 31, 2001, $ 2531.65 in consultant fees have been incurred. Waiver of Platting. In the event the vacation request is approved, City staff suggests that the City Council consider using the "waiver of platting" mechanism for approval of the new lot configurations. Additionally, it is further suggested that the City take the lead in preparation of the respective plat document(s) with all involved fees to be cost-shared as referenced above. 2 - 1021 - ?.3 Kells Lane Executive Summary Report danuao: 14, 2002 Sale of Lot 6 - Comparable Lot Values. As the City Council is aware, City staff' had originally contemplated the preparation of a formal appraisal so as to obtain a cost estimate regarding the value of Lot 6 in the event it is released but opted not to execute the proposal due to excessive cost. In an attempt to obtain comparable values, City staff has researched similar parcels in the community and has included several examples for review and consideration by the City Council. These are attached as Exhibit D. It is suggested that a sale price of $5000.00 for Lot 6 be considered. RECOMMENDATION As there appears to be no public benefit to retaining this portion of Kells Lane, the Planning Commission voted four (4) to three (3) to approve City staff's recommendation to approve the proposed vacation of Kells Lane subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed lot configuration is revised as demonstrated on Exhibit B. 2. Any profit from the sale of City property should be used to improve the usability of the adjacent park area including fishing access. 3. The vacation is subject to the agreeable disposition of the land described. 4. Easements shall be maintained for utilities. 5. Authorize the City Engineer to proceed with the preparation of legal descriptions for the subject properties. 6. The vacation and transfer to land is conditioned upon the sale of the respective portions of City land to Jonathan Paul and Jeff and Pam Paul. 7.

During the review, there have been a number of issues and concerns raised regarding the vacation of public right-of-way, public lake access, in~provements to public lands, the rights of adjacent/surrounding private property owners, and the possible sale of City lined. At the October 23, 2001 regular meeting, the City Council directed Staff to take a broader review of the vacation request. Specifically, the Council was interested in other abutting property owners who wish to vacate, the value of the City owned lot 6, if/where the County would allow an entrance permit to Wilshire from lot 6, and a new arrangement of property lines assuming portions of Kells Lane were vacated and the City were to sell lot 6 to Jon Paul m~d Jeff m~d Pam Paul. NEW INFORMATION Staff sent out letters to the two property owners west of Jon Paul, but both chose not to be a party to the application. The new application has Jeff Paul and Jon and Pam Paul as co-applicants. For noticing purposes, the notice reflects the consideration to vacate a portion of Kells Lane adjacent to lots 24, 25, and 26. Staff made contact with an appraiser regarding an estimated price to determine the value of lot 6. The appraiser estimated the cost to the City would be approximately $3000. As Staff believes that the land value of lot 6 and the appraisal costs may not be too dissimilar, the appraisal was not ordered. 123 North Third Street, Suite 100, Mim~eapolis, Mimuesota 55401 (612) 338-0800 Fax (612) 338-6838 -1029- p. 2 #01-46 Kells Lane Vacation Request January 3, 2002 Staff met with Hennepin County Staff on site to determine if/where a driveway access to Wilshire Blvd could be located. County Staff indicated the .driveway could be located east of the gravel parking area to afford Jeff Paul access to lot 26. (see graphic) The County will also want to obtain easements for the road and sidewalk that encroaches on lot 6, and possibly lots 2-5. The County typically requires 33 feet from the roadway center line which would approximately 11 feet back of the sidewalk. Recommended driveway widths would be 14 - 22 feet PROPOSED VACATION AREA AND PROPERTY OWNERSHIP The graphic below illustrates Staff's recommendation on the portions of Kells Lane that should be vacated and the portions of lot 6 that should be sold to Jon Paul and Jeff and Para Paul. Recommended Kells Lane vacation area and property ownership '" t ~7/' ~ ^Jo. 123 North Third Street, Suite 100, Mim]eapolis, Minnesota 55401 (612) 338-0800 Fax (612) 338-6838 - 1 030- t2. 3 ii01-46 tfells Lane Facation Request January 3, 2002 Key Elements Include: Kells Lane is vacated adjacent to lots 24, 25, and portions adjacent to lot 26. The "diagonal" line demarcating vacated and unvacated portions adjacent to lot 26 attempts to keep somewhat perpendicular lines to the lake to provide a "typical" rectangular lot. The City sells the noted portions or lot 6 to Jon Paul and Jeff and Pmn Paul. Jon Paul would retain the gravel parking area as part of the newly acquired lot 6. Jeff and Pam Paul would gain new access to lot 26 via ownership of a 20 feet parcel east of the gravel parking area. In this scenario, the City would sell those portions of lot 6 to each party. Staff would ask the Cotmcil to consider approval of a waiver of platting to split the proposed lands from lot 6. During this process roadway easements would need to be coordinated with He~mepin County for lot 6 as well as lots 2-5. 4. Jeff and Para Paul would be responsible for obtaining an access pennit from the County. CiW staff will provide assistance with this process. Jeff and Pmn Paul would be responsible for relocation of the Excel Energy utility pole if they felt it was needed to accommodate a driveway. City staff has contacted Excel Energy to obtain a cost estimate for the proposed relocation and it is anticipated that this information will be available at the meeting. Staff believes it is important to retain the triangular shaped renmant of lot 6 to provide a "good" access point to the City lands. Inclusion of this portion of lot 6, combined with that portion of lot 5 west of the guardrail will provide about a 40-50 feet wide access point. Staff would not anticipate the Cid' would ever propose a driveway access to the parcel due to the site's steep topography, limited area, and roadway access issues. If the Council agrees with the proposal, Staff would begin the process of land sale after the vacation is filed. The value of lot 6 is one item that need to be addressed prior to Council approval as well. As an alternative to an appraisal, Staff has gathered land value information on a nmnber of comparable parcels for presentation to the Council. We believe that this information will provide a good basis for determining agreeable sale prices with the respective parties. Staff would further recon~mend that an agreement on sale prices be an approval condition of the vacation request. Prior to the City Cotmcil meeting, the City Manager and/or Community Development Director will initiate discussions with the property owners on ~ acceptable offer. The last item regarding the application is pending Staff review fees. Staff will detail the incurred fees and present a few options regarding how they could be distributed. Payment of these fees shotdd also be a condition of approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission consider the new proposal and make a recommendation to Council. 123 North Third Street, Suite 100, Mim~eapolis, Mim~esota 55401 (612) 338-0800 Fax (612) 338-6838 -1031 - ?. 4 #01-46 Kells Lane Facation Request January 3, 2002 ATTACHMENTS · Application from Jonathan Paul dated December 20, 2001 · Application from Jonathan Paul dated May 10, 2001 · Application from Jeffery and Pamela Paul dated December 11, 2001 · Survey of subject area(s) dated September 19, 2000 · Notice of Planning Commission Public Hearing · Memorandum from City Engineer dated January 2, 2002 · Memorandum from City Engineer dated June 13, 2001 · Copy of utilities as-built of subject area(s) · Memorandum from Comm.

Does the city get something back on the south side? Clapsaddle thought that the unvacated portion along the lake could be vacated and attached to the south portion. Mueller stat'ed that the Kells Lane portion must go to the parcels on the north because it was platted with that land and not the Wychwood parcel to the south. Burma did not feel that the lines should be drawn to preserve the gravelidrive constructed by Jori Paul, on city property, without permission. He feels that the property line should be drawn through the drive ~n a more logical manner. Weiland wants it noted that we are "not on the clock" as regards this project. Planning Commission Minutes January 7, 2002 Open public hearing. Pam Paul (owner of Lots 26, 27 & 28) - She would like to encourage the city to vacate the entire length of Kells Lane, then they would give back the po. rtion of lake shore in exchange for their share of Lot 6. Dennis Hopkins (3609 Wilshire Blvd) - He sees no reason to vacate Kells Lane for a landlocked parcel that has no access now. Neighbors have wanted the area to be cleaned up so it's usable and the city wouldn't do that. John Zambori (4681 Wilshire Blvd) - Consider leasing instead of vacating. City would retain ownership and control and gain lease monies that could be used to improve the park area t6 the east. Mueller - Kells Lane hasn't been used.

My original review letter of June 13, 2001 should be included as part of this review, even though the scope of the proposed vacation has been revised. 2. As you are aware, staff met with Dave Zetterstrom of Hennepin County Permits, to discuss the options available to Jon Paul and Jeff Paul regarding the existing parking area and the permitting for a new driveway. Hennepin County does not recognize and will not issue an entrance permit for the existing parking area used by Jon Paul, unless he abandons his present driveway and relocates it to the parking area he now uses for his boat storage. They indicated that they would issue a permit to Jeff Paul for a new entrance to his property if all their normal conditions are met, such as width, grade, sidewalk access, etc. An application would need to be submitted, along with a drawing that shows all the existing and proposed conditions. 3. As previously indicated, the County Road encroaches onto all the City property, including lot 6, under consideration for sale to the two Pauls. The proper easements would need to be granted to Hennepin County before any property in this area can be sold. The County will require, at a minimum, 33 feet from centerline, which falls approximately 11 feet behind the existing bituminous sidewalk. 15050 23RD AVENUE NORTH PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 - 1056- JCAMERON@MFRA.COM (763)476-6010 FAX (763) 476-8532 Engineering · Planning ,, Surveying MEMORANDUM DATE: June 13, 2001 TO: Jon Sutherland, Planning and Zoning FROM: John Cameron, City Engineer SUBJECT: City of Mound Kells Road Street Vacation Case #01-21 MFRA #13327 As requested, we have reviewed the application to vacate a section of Kells Road and have the following comments and recommendations. Comments The right-of-way proposed for vacation does not contain an improved street maintained by the City; however it does provide, on paper, access to privately owned property (Lots 26, 27, and 28, Block 31, Seton). Vacation of Kells Road would eliminate access to Lots 26, 27, and 28 via a public right-of-way. The only City utilities that would be affected by the proposed vacation would be the area around the existing hydrant and water service valve, both of which are shown on the survey. If the street vacation is approved, a utility easement must be reserved over the west ten feet of the proposed vacation. o The City of Mound owns all of Lot 1 through 6, Block 1, Wychwood; however the County Road encroaches onto the southerly portion with no easement or agreement of record. See John Deans' letter of June 8, 2001. - 1057- 15050 23rd Avenue North · Plymouth, Minnesota · 55447 phone 763/476-6010 · fax 763/476-8532 e-mai/: mfra@mfra, com Jon Sutherland, Planning and Zoning June 13, 2001 Page 2 I am assuming that the gravel parking area located on City property (Lot 6) was installed and currently used without permits or permission of either the City or Hennepin County. If Lot 6 were sold to the applicant as suggested in his letter and an easement provided for the owner of Lots 26, 27, and 28, a driveway permit would need to be acquired from Hennepin County. The grade of the City property starts dropping dramatically towards the north, close to the lot line between Lots 5 and 6. The County guardrail appears to start about the center of Lot 5 and runs easterly. See Attachments. The City should review the intended use of the City owned property and right-of-way of Kells Road as it relates to their dock program and park use. Recommendations 1. This section of Kells Road should not be vacated unless all the following conditions are met: ao Co Access is provided for Lots 26, 27, and 28, Block 31, Seton; The Parks Department, Park Commission, and the Dock and Commons Commission recommend approval; It can be shown that the existing right-of-way has no public benefit. 2. If the street is vacated, a utility easement must be retained over the westerly ten feet. cc: Loren Gordon, HKGI s:\main :kMou 13327:\Correspondencsutherland6-12 - 1058- AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING HEARING NOTICE STATE OF MINNESOTA) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN Jill Norlander, being duly sworn, deposes and says; I am a United States Citizen, over twenty-one (21) years of age, and the Secretary_ for Planning and Inspections Department of the City of Mound, Minnesota.

Approximately eleven neighborhood residents were present for this issue. 066- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission January 17, 2002 Phillip Bowman, 1717 Finch Lane. Applicant. The reason for planting the shrubs is to act as a "soil holder" as grass will not grow. The shrubs can be trimmed to any height set by .the Commission. Evergreens look presentable throughout the year. Also this will work as a snow barrier. Bowman explained the reasons for not applying for a permit due to an underlined fee simple title issue. The City is running a good public dock program. This was a beautifying effort. The trees can grow up to 15 feet; however they can be trimmed to as Iow as four feet.

Believes the trees are an attempt for traffic control. The bushes are 4-5 feet now. Would like some limit as to the height of the trees. The neighborhood should be able to come back to the Commission if the trees grow too tall. Parks'Director Fackler clarified that it is the responsibility of the applicant to trim trees and bear the cost; however if for a utility issue then the City will bear the cost. -1068- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission January 17, 2002 MOTION carried unanimously, This item will be in front of the City Council on February 26, 2002.

Members of the Docks and Commons Commission are advised that it appears the property owner planted the landscaping elements in error as he assumed the use of the Wiota Commons had transitioned from the City to the neighborhood. Details regarding the proposal are contained in the application and survey which have been included attachments. LEGAL DESCRIPTION Lots 7 & 8, Block 13, Dreamwood, Hennepin County, Minnesota. PID# 13-117-24-13-0048. CITY CODE 320 - PRIVATE STRUCTURES AND PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON PUBLIC LAND City Code 320.01 regulates private structures and private construction activities on public land in the City of Mound. Specifically, Subd. 4 regulates land alteration activities. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site includes a single family home which is accessed from Finch Lane and is bordered by Wiota Commons to the south. There is an existing staircase located on the south end of Finch Lane which provides public access over Wiota Commons to Lake Minnetonka. There is also an existing dock structure(s) located in this area. - 1073- The applicant planted a total of ten (10) 5-foot arborvitae shrubs on the subject property. However, three (3) of the shrubs were planted on private property and are therefore not part of this application. CITY DEPARTMENT REVIEW Copies of the request and all supporting materials were forwarded to all applicable City departments for review and comment. All written comments received to date have been summarized below: Public Works Director Skinner The arborvitae shrubs have been planted over a City- owned watermain. In the event that work on the watermain is needed, the City will not guarantee that the shrubs will survive nor will the City be responsible for replacement or reimbursement. Parks Director Fackler No objections ADDITIONAL COMMENTS City staff including Parks Director Fackler and Development Director Smith conducted a site inspection on January 8, 2002. Based on field conditions, it appears that the shrubs are not located in the Finch Lane right-of-way. The shrubs do not appear to be hindering public access from Finch Lane to the staircase located in Wiota Commons nor does it appear to negatively impact foot traffic over Wiota Commons. The shrubs may help to provide shade for the subject area and may also help to provide a windbreak protection. Staff is in agreement that the vegetation helps to provide a separation between Finch Lane and the subject property. 5. The use of the Wiota Commons is under discussion. SITE INSPECTION City Officials and Board Members are encouraged to visit the subject site prior to the meeting. PHOTOGRAPHS Digital photos of the subject site will be presented at the meeting. - 1074- NOTIFICATION While City Code Section 320 does not require public notification, current City policy indicates that adjacent property owners are notified as a courtesy. Member of the Docks & Commons and City Council are advised that a meeting notice was mailed to adjacent property owners on January 10, 2002. A copy of the mailing list has been included as an attachment. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends approval of the Public Lands Permit request from Philip Bowman to allow continued placement of the evergreen shrubs in the Wiota Commons area. 1. In the event that work on the existing watermain is needed and/or undertaken, the City shall not be responsible for replacement or reimbursement of the evergreen shrubs. CITY COUNCIL REVIEW Tentatively, the Public Lands Permit Application will be forwarded to the City Council for review at its Tuesday, February 26, 2002 meeting in the event a recommendation from the Docks and Commons Commissions is made at its Thursday, January 17, 2002 meeting.

Jim Fackler and I have received several letters fi.om groups that have been previously treated as having commercial docks, but were not required to pay a fee until this year. They are obviously interested in the issue, and how the Council ultimately decides it. My February 8, 2002 memo to you suggests that (a) the Council should first determine whether the existing ordinance calls for the licensing of association or other group docks that are owned by the user; and (b) if you conclude that it does not, then the next question is whether you want to revise the ordinance to cover those situations. If you answer no to both of these points, then it will be necessary to determine the impact of that decision on the association and group docks that are currently treated as commercial docks. This is a separate task from the item before you on the 26th. If you decide to exclude privately owned and used association and group docks, I would suggest that you refer the matter to Jim Fackler to review the status of the docks currently licensed and to come back to you with a recommendation of those that should be excluded. JBD-210437vl MU220-6 - 1081 - MEMO~UM February 8, 20O2 To: Mayor and City Council From: John Dean Subject: Applicability of Commercial Dock License Requirements to Certain Association Docks. For many years the City has licensed the docks at condominiums and other multiple ownership residential developments under section 436 of the City Code. However, no fee was char8~ unless the slip was being leased out to someone who was not a resident of the development. During the review of the fee schedules last fall, the Council directed staff to charge a fee on association docks if the ordinance required a fee to be ch~ged. At the January 8, 2002 Council meeting a question was raised whether section 436 did, in fact, require the licensure of association docks. I was a&ed to provide you with an opinion. On January 14, 2002, this office provided an opinion on the subject. The opinion states that the "condo association is 'providing space for docking' ...for individuals, other than the owner of the dock..". The opinion then concluded that "a condominium association clearly fits within the relevant code definitions that would require it to obtain a license to continue to operate its docks". Subsequent to the issuance of that opinion, it was brought to our attention that, in certain cases, the docks are not owned by the association, but rather by individual members of the association. We have also been informed that at least one multiple dock structure has been erected due to the desire of the owners of homes in the development to have a single dock structure rather than for each owner to have and maintain individual docks. At the January 22 Council meeting I informed the Council of this new information and requested that consideration of the matter be deferred until the February 12 meeting. Section 436i05 reads as follows: No person, association of persons, families whether incorporated or not, through any arrangement, whether through common or corporate ownership or otherwise, shall operate, carry on, or be engaged in the trade or business ofdocklng, mooring anchoring, keeping or storing ofboats or make any arrangement for the use or joint use of lakeshore property for such dockage of boats.., without having first obtained a license. I have highlighted two phrases in the section because I think they provide the answer. Section 436,01 subd. 2 contains the following definition: Business of Doc~g or Storing of Boats. Renting or otherwise providing space for docking, anchoring, or storing three or more boats or floating structures JBD-209g07vl MU220-6 - 1082- belonging to persons other than the owner of the dock or property on which said boat or sm~ctures are docked or stored or adjacent to which said boats are moored. (italics added) Reading those two sections together, I must conclude that, although contrary arguments are possible, in my opinion, the ordinance intends that only association docks that are used in the business of docking require a commercial license. Any association dock which is privately owned and used by its owner is not used in the business of docking. The result is different under the LMCD Code. Under that code, a license is required by the LMCD for either a multiple dock or a commercial dock. A multiple dock is a dock constructed or maintained for the use of five or more re,,~rricted watercraft. As a result, association docks (for five or more unrestricted watercraft) do need a LMCD license no matter who actually owns the dock. Assuming Section 436 means what I think it means, it does present problems for enforcement. For example, docks owned by associations would be subject to licensure and the fee. Association docks that are privately owned would not be subject to licensure and the fee unless they were used by someone other than the owner. RECOMMENDATION If you are in agreement with my interpretation of Section 436, I would make the following recommendations: 1. Decide whether you want the section enforced as written, or whether you would like to consider changes to it. 2. As part of any review, it might be important to focus on the reasons why Mound would license and regulate this type of dock in the first place. 3. It would probably be a good idea to solicit recommendations form the Dock and Commons Commission in the process.

We axe a Minnesota Non-Profit Corporation made up of two Twin Homes and three single residences that own a common piece of property for the purpose of maintaining a multiple dock. Our dock is privately owned and 1/7 ownership is noted on each individual property deed. Our covenants deafly prohibit the leasing or renting of the docks to anyone. I attended the Council meeting last Tuesday to hear the explanation by Staff and was pleased that the matter was tabled for further investigation. We believe the ordinance for Dock Licenses must make the distinction between docks that are owned as part of our homesteads rs; docks that are rented or leased as occurs with some Associations. I believe that Lake W'mds and Bayview may fall into the latter category. In our neighborhood at the end of Harrison bay, there are several variations of private dock ownership, including Townhouse associations, a neighborhood association, and a lagoon with individual 30-foot lake frontages for each dock. To assess fees to any situation other than actual commercial docks would open a Pandora's box of special and unique situations that the City may wish to avoid. Our Association in particular, feels that if fees were assessed to us because we are an Association, that the Ordinance would be discriminating simply because we have a different form of home ownership. Instead of the typical single residence with a dock, we live in a form of multiple housin~ That simply put, would not be fair and equal treatment of Mound residents. We urge the Council to clarify that portion of the Ordinance that refers to Assodations and rescind any fees assessed to privately owned docks. Thank you for your consideration.

This dock has permission to accommodate up to eight boating units as determined by the LMCD. Seton View Association is requesting permanent exemption from the Mound Commercial Dock License fee. This request is based upon the following: Each of the four homeowners owns their own lakeshore property - there is not any common property, shared land or Seton View land assets. (See attached map) In and effort to preserve the wetland lakeShore habitat, only one dock approach was established with access to the eight slips. Each homeowner could have established their own dock approach from their individual shoreline property and this fee would then not apply. This is not a commercial operation. There are no rental slips, no boat fees that Seton View members pay, or any income to the Seton View Association derived from this dock. Please feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns regarding this request.

We are confused and concerned as to why our dock is considered, part..o£acommer_cialxtoc&x)rdi~_ance. _ Our Association is made up of 12 privately :owned single fami!y homes located (9)on Lafayette Lane and (3) on Three Points Blvd. As Part of the original development, each Property has 1/12th'ownership of two outlotS on Harrison Bay, At the outlots We haVe a multiple dock Providing boat slips for the 9 off lake properties in our asSociation. Adjacent to the outlotS are 3 individual docks in 'frOnt of 3 aSsociation Properties that' have'lake frontage. ~ ' This is in no way a commercial dock operation. To the contrary, our association charter specifically prohibits rental or use of thc boat slips by anyone outside the association. We have privately owned docks on privately owned property and it seems discriminatory that the City would assess us a dock fee simply because we are an Association. As you know, there are many and varying arrangements of private lakeshore / dock ownership within the City of Mound. If fees are to be assessed to non-commercial privately owned docks it should be done in a fair and equitable manner for all who own same. And certainly not as part of a commercial dock licensing program. We urge the Council to review the portion of the Commercial Dock Ordinance that refers to Associations and rescind any fees assessed to non-commercial docks such as ours at Driftwood Shores.

The bill (H.F. 315) was taken up and approved by the full Senate this morning (Feb. 1 I). Meanwhile, House Republican's announced their proposal at a Thursday afternoon press confer- ence and plan to begin moving it through the committee process this week. The House plan will be processed through 11 separate bills, unlike the Senate's single bill, and it would go further in address- ing the ongoing budget shortfall forecasted for the 2004 -05 bien- nium, Unlike the Governor's plan, neither legislative proposal would in- crease taxes or significantly duce aids to 'local government. Both the House and Senate plans would eliminate the $14 million set aside last year for LGA reform and While both the House and Senate would use the entire $653 million in the state's budget reserve, on~ the Senate would use the $35b million cash flow account and the $158 million tax relief account to solve the shortfall. Additionally, the Senate would is- sue highway bonds to replace the $245 million appropriated for high- way bottleneck and corridor projects and delay the elimination of the June sales tax acceleration, which would save the state $119 million. The House, meanwhile, would spend $554 million from the Tobacco Endowment and impose a state hidng freeze.

The bill would add a provision that enables a municipality to adopt subdivision regulations related to Iow and mod- erate income housing. The language would permit cities to establish initial sale prices, adopt income limits for affordable housing, and impose spe- cific measures to retain the long-term affordability of the units. The bill as drafted may be modir~d to make some of the provisions less specific regarding long-term affordability. The House companion bill (H.F. 37..20), authored by Rep. Ray Vandeveer (R--Forest Lake), has not been scheduled for a hearing. The bill is intended to clarify that cit- ies have the authority to incorporate certain elements into their subdivi- sion regulations. The issue of whether a city has the authority to establish an initial sale price for af- fordable housing or have long-term affordability provisions was raised during the deliberations of th( Inclusionary Housing Task Force.

Among the bills scheduled to be heard are the following: HF 2592 .. Establishing a Metro- politan Transit Authority (MTA). This bill would create a new Metro- politan Transit Authority, composed of one representative from each county, to establish and operate commuter rail transportation, light rail transit, and the regional bus transit system in the seven-county metro- politan area. The bill would transfer this authority away from the Metro- politan Council and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). The Met Council's author- ity to levy property taxes in the met- ropolitan area would be transferred to the Authority, and it would also al- low the Authority to impose a half cent sales and use tax and up to a $20 motor vehicle excise tax.

The plan could be on the floor of each body as early as Thursday, February 21. Similar to the individual proposals of the House and Senate, the com- promise plan does not include the LGA or market value homestead credit reductions proposed by the Governor. The compromise would, however, eliminate the $14 million LGA reform account and the $129 million TIF grant fund, as well as planned inflationary in- creases in LGA. Dubbed "Phase I" by legislators, the plan: Uses $1.46 billion in one-time resources. This includes the $653 million budget reserve, $195 million cash flow ac- count, and $158 million tax re- lief account; as well as $230 from the Workers Compensa- tion Special Fund. Eliminates $131 million in one- time spending, including $91 million for the TIF grant fund and $40 million for the St. Paul busway. Approves $374,3 million in per- manent spending reductions. (seetable) Continues the permanent ductions in state fiscal years 2004-05 for a savings of $720 million. Eliminates the $1.13 billio' planning inflation estimates in fiscal years 2004-05. A conference committee will begin meeting this aftemoon to incorpo- rate the agreement into HF 351, which is the budget balancing bill passed by the Senate last week, At this time, the Govemor has yet to make an explicit veto threat and it is unclear whether House DFLers would participate in any veto-override. Phase II of the plan will focus on the budget adjustments necessary to respond to the February 27 rev- enue forecast, if the deficit is greater than the currenthj projected $1.95 billion, additional budget modifications will be needed and local government aids could be back on the table. -1092- TOTRL P.02 Feb 08 Z802 17:01:19 ~ia Fax -> 9524?28628 adainiatrator Pa§e 001 Of 083 - Frid ay F ax - A weekly tegislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities February 8, 2002 Week 2: House and Senate budget balancing proposals on the table This week, the House and Senate each released their budget-balancing plans that would address the state's short-term budget shortfall. One highlight for cities: neither plan includes cuts in city IGA or homestead credit reimbursement, which is in stark contrast to the deep cuts proposed by the Governor in his supplemental budget released in early January. Although the House and Senate appear to be kindler and gentler to cities, the governor has chastised the House and Senate for not acting responsibly on the deficit. Undoubtedly, this tripartisan rancor could change the situation dramatically. The governor has even again suggested that he might wield his unallotment power if the House and Senate cannot craft a "more responsible" proposal. The Senate plan generally makes smaller cuts in state agency budgets, borrows monies from other state funds and replaces some current capital project cash funding with state issued bond proceeds. The House, on the other hand, makes deeper cuts in state agencies, including a hiring freeze that will save an estimated $100 million in the current biennium and makes more aggressive use of tobacco endowment funds. The Governor's plan is currently the only one that calls for tax increases in the form of expansion of the sales tax to some services, a new gas tax, and increased cigarette taxes. However~ that could change as the House and Senate consider whether and how to tackle the 2004-05 projected shortfall. Although the House and Senate plans do not make immediate cuts in state aids, the cuts in state agency budgets could trickle down to cities in the form of smaller grant programs, higher fees and a transfer of service responsibility. The House Plan -No cuts to LGA or homestead credit. -Eliminates the TIF grant appropriation for 2002-2003 biennium. -Uses $811 million of state budget reserves. -Cuts $653 million from state spending. -Uses $554 million from the tobacco prevention endowment. -Saves $100 million by limiting new hires in state agencies. -Cuts $50 million more from state agencies and spending (cuts to be determined as bills move through the committee process). The Senate Plan -No cuts to LGA or homestead credit. -Eliminates all funding for TIF grant program, including the 2004-05 biennium. -Cuts $200 million in state programs. -Uses $1.5 billion from different reserve accounts. -Refinances transportation projects and does accounting shifts. -Eliminates inflationary increase in FY 2004-05 (saving $1.1 billion) -Cuts $400 million in spending in FY 2004-05. -Will be supplemented with additional changes to address any remaining shortfall for 2004-05 after the economic forecast is released at the end of the February. In Common House and Senate -Both cut $15 million from K-12 in 2002-03, and $50 million from higher education. -Both use tobacco funds, the House spending the dollars, and Senate borrowing the funds and promises to restore the money in the future. -Neither plan funds inflation which is the largest difference between the legislature and Ventura.

This could make for extremely complicated and theatrical negotiations when the different bills ultimately are sent to conference committees. This week, the Senate bill moved through the Finance and Tax committees, and will be voted on the floor Monday, February 11. The House bills have yet to be introduced. Annexation Hearing Next Week The Annexation "Right to Vote" Bill, HF 2774 is scheduled for a hearing next Wednesday, February 13th before the House Local Government Committee. The committee starts at 12:30 p.m. in room 200 of the State Office Building (SOB). The League of Minnesota Cities will be testifying in opposition to the bill. If you would like to testify, contact Remi Stone at the League (651.281.1256), or the committee administrator, Lindsay Wallace (651.296.5376). Pension Commission votes to repeal prorated service credit On Thursday evening, the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement voted to undo a portion of the PERA pension reform legislation enacted just last session. The amendment will repeal the prorated service credit language that would have made the benefits under the PERA plan more consistent with the other two state pension plans, MSRS and TRA. The commission considered the amendment because several of the members apparently thought that the prorated service credit language included in last year's bill was not agreed to by the pension commission. However, a background memo prepared by commission staff confirmed that the proration language was included in both the House and Senate bills, with the only difference being the effective date of the language. The original amendment considered by the commission last evening would have only removed the new prorated service credit language but after testimony by PERA Executive Director Mary Vanek and local units of government, the amendment was further amended to reinstate the $425 salary eligibility threshold that was eliminated in last year's pension legislation. Without the restoration of the $425 threshold, almost every municipal employee would have been required to participate in PERA and due to the fact that part-time employees would have been earning a full year's employment credit, the original amendment would have almost certainly resulted in increased long-term liability for the already deficit-laden PERA fund. The pension commission will complete work on their 2002 omnibus pension bill next Tuesday evening. Due to the fact that the bill will have to be approved by the House and Senate and will have to be signed by the governor, we will have several additional chances to repeal the language. Shooting Ranges Senator Steve Murphy (DFL-Red Wing) moved a compromise amendment to the infamous shooting range legislation from 2001. The amendment to the bill was discussed in the Senate State & Local Government Operations For mole informalion on cily legislative issue,,, conlacl any member of lhe League of Minnesota Cities Inlergovel'nmental Relations team. 651.281.1200 or 800.925.1122 - 1094- Fe~ 88 Z88Z 17:8Z:41 Via Fax -> 9SZ47ZOGZO ~&~inis~ra~or Fage 889 0£ 889 'd -Frl ayFax- A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities February 8, 2002 Committee last Tuesday and laid on the table for further action. The Minnesota Home & Hunt Club, Minnesota Shooting Preserves Association and DNR joined with LMC, Association of Minnesota Counties and Minnesota Association of Townships to reach what many would consider a fair and reasonable compromise. Key points to the amendment is that the bill would no longer pre-empt local government ordinances and would no longer presume noise is not a nuisance. It would require local governments to adopt a 500 foot set back requirement for residential dwellings from the range property line and would set the threshold for noise standards as those established by state statute and rule. That said, Represenative Tom Hackbarth (R- Cedar) and Senator Bob Lessard (I- International Falls) volleyed back at the compromise, by introducing the same intensely controversial bill as was introduced in 2001. It appears that while local governments and forward thinking hunting organizations & shooting preserves continue to seek compromise on the matter, proponents continue to march across the nation trying to zone via state statute and to undermine local decision making. "Voluntary" Health Care Insurance Pooling of K-12 Public Employee The House Commerce Commiteee approved without recommendation legislation that would "voluntarily" allow k-12 public employees to obtain health care insurance by pooling with state ernployees. The LMC holds deep reservations regarding this legislation (HF1868/SF1755) because it sets an expensive precedent for public employers and reduces the number of viable competitors cities use to secure health care coverage for employees. Participation in a larger pool can also eliminate opportunities for local goverments to use creative solutions to keep down health care costs, such as wellness programs coupled with "day off" rewards to employees meeting wellness goals.

State revenues for the month under performed the already bleak November 2001 forecast by approximately $72 million. The report could be the first glimpse what the full-blown budget forecast might reveal later this month. The February information is disconcerting given that the collection information released just one month ago, which included the important holiday shopping season, was actually slightly more than forecast. When the January information was released, some legislators indicated that they believed the November forecast was too pessimistic and that the February forecast would show a turnaround in the state's financial situation. The dismal February figures only reflect the actual tax collections for the past month while the February forecast that will be released on February 27 will be a projection of the expected revenues and expenditures for the next 16 months. State economist Tom Stinson has always urged people not to draw long-term conclusions from monthly collection reports. We'll have to wait for the release of the forecast on February 27. State Hiring Freeze And More? On Thursday, Governor Venture today announced that he is imposing a state hiring freeze as well as travel and purchasing restrictions for state agencies. The restriction on state hiring means current and future vacancies will not be filled unless there is an urgent or legal need to fill the position. In addition, the state will restrict out-of state travel, unless approved by the commissioner of employee relations. Quoting the governor in a press release issued today, "Unfortunately the truth is with the inaction of the Legislature to agree on a long-term budget solution, I need to step up my effort to make reductions that do not require legislative action." To announce the hiring freeze, the governor sent a letter Wednesday to state agency heads. The letter indicated that the governor expects the hiring freeze to remain in effect through the end of the year and that it could be expanded. Employees will also have to get approval for all out-of-state travel from the commissioner of employee relations. The governor's announcement may be the first indication of how the governor could implement a budget-balancing package without the assistance of the state legislature. "] would expect that other branches of government, non-executive entities, and local units of government to also act in a fiscally responsible manner," Governor Ventura .said. "If there is no resolve on the part of the legislature to take meaningful action, I will not hesitate to continue additional budget reductions." The governor was referring to his power to "unallot' expenditures, an action that could ultimately place a tremendous burden on aid programs as well as grant programs for cities across the state. With the unallotment tool, the governor can only cut expenditures--he does not have the power to move monies from other funds into the general fund nor does he have the power to raise taxes. In other words, under unallotment, aid cuts could be significantly deeper than the onerous cuts already proposed by the governor. Is unaliotment more likely9, The political tea leaves are difficult to read but the governor's comments yesterday related to the hiring freeze and his other strong public criticisms of the House and Senate plans undoubtedly makes it appear that he is at least ready to exercise his authority. The Senate has completed a plan for the current biennial shortfall but has done little for the structural deficit and the House is still at least a week or more away from completing work on their deficit package--and we haven't even gotten to the point of reconciling the differences between the two proposals. Be ready--it could certainly get worse. Unallotment of $2 billion in state spending could translate into very deep municipal aid cuts indeed.

The meeting was attended by a large city contingent wearing brilliant orange buttons saying "Let our Cities Grow". Many thanks to the city officials that attended and also to those who had an opportunity to testify before the committee, including: Brenda Johnson, Chatfield; Larry Remmen, Detroit Lakes; and Scott Dane, Biwabik. Kudos go out to all you who took the time to make the phone calls, e-mails, and personal visits with the legislators on the committee. These communications were instrumental in convincing the committee to oppose the bill. We would also like to thank two others who championed our cause and who testified before the committee, John Shardlow with Dahlgren, Shardlow & Uban (DSU) and Representative Dave Bishop (R), Rochester. It is always possible this bill could be resurrected as an amendment to another bill on the House side. As of today, we do NOT expect the Senate to address the annexation issues this year. Compromise on Long-Term Housing Affordability Efforts led by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities culminated in an important break- through on measures designed to give cities clear authority to enact long-term affordability housing measures. In meetings early in the week, the League joined with AMM, the Twin Cities Builders Association, the Minnesota Builders Association, and housing advocates to reach agreement on an amendment to SF 2881 (Cohen), that builders and developers vigorously opposed. The Senate State and Local Government Operations Committee voted overwhelmingly to endorse an approach which would give cities clear authority to negotiate with developers to promote availability of affordable owner-occupied and rental housing units for iow and moderate-income families and individuals within a larger development. The compromise includes authority for cities to negotiate the terms of a development application to include sale price or rent income limits; and a means of maintaining long-term affordability of those units. The bill now goes to the Senate Jobs, Housing & Community Development Committee, where it will be heard at 6 p.m., on Monday, February 18. Cities do OK in Senate Bonding Proposal On Thursday evening, Senate Finance passed out of committee their bonding recommendations with a bonding price tag of $1.076 billion. Statewide programs for cities fared well under the Senate proposal. Among some of these programs include: -Flood Hazard Mitigation Grants ($28.5 M) -Well Sealing ($600,12100) -Closed Landfill Cleanup Program ($10 M) -Brownfield to Greenspace Grants ($1.5 M) -Local Gov't Road Wetland Replacement ($3 M) -Local Bridge Replacement & Rehab ($40 M) -Redevelopment Grant Program ($11 M) -State Matching Water Pollution Grants ($16 M) -Wastewater Infrastructure Grants ($40 M) -Greater MN Business Development ($15 M) While economic development, environment, and transportation projects fare well--the Senate did not appropriate bonding dollars to the MIqFA for housing. Debate and pas,sage of the bonding bill is expected in a full Senate Floor Session on Monday, February 17. The House is currently still hearing individual requests and expects to have their proposal out in the next few weeks.

Last year, the bill received approval by the Liquor Subcommittee of the House Commerce Committee but was then laid on the table by the author for further consideration this session. If the bill is approved on Tuesday by the Commerce Committee, it will allow the bill to meet the first committee deadline. The Senate has not yet scheduled the companion bill for a hearing.

Tower Mischief Aimed at Anti- Terrorism 911 Measures Mischief is a-foot as the time begins to run out for committees to act on anti-terrorism legislation. Yesterday, in the Senate Telecommunications, Energy and Technology Committee, an unsuccessful effort was made to amend measures aimed to kill the 911 service fees portion of the critically-needed Senate anti-terrorism bill, S.F. 2683. The amendment would severely limit local authority to regulate the siting of wireless tower sites. City officials should express concerns to local legislators about such lobbying tactics by wireless service providers and urge them to turn down such attempts. Cities face an up-hill fight to get the legislature to agree to increase the 911-surcharge. The Senate has included such measures in their anti-terrorism proposals. But the House this week turned aside from earlier expectations that the anti- terrorism legislation would include phone subscriber surcharge increases. Local 911 dispatch operations must have added state resources to help pay for improved radio communications for police and fire and necessary but costly equipment, software and training needed in order for 911 dispatchers across the state to identify the location of and respond quickly to those calling for help using wireless phones. Police & Firefighter Continued Health Insurance Coverage "Unappropriated" in House Budget Proposal The House Ways & Means Committee is moving ahead with the House Transportation Package (HF3416) that eliminates the state's funding for continued health insurance for police & firefighters injured or killed in the line of duty. lfl effect, the lack of appropriation turns a "funded" mandate into an unfunded mandate. The end result is that a handful of cities will be left funding a $315,000 per year mandate. This could be an especially big deal for a small city where the continued health insurance cost could be an enormous financial obligation relative to the total budget of the city. Cities concerned about this provision must contact their legislators to oppose the removal of this state obligation.

At Subsequent Boded meetings, testimony has been received from potential affected property owners that have requested to be grandfatliered or granted a non-conforming permit from the ordinance amendment if it was adopted. A Lake Minnetonka Wetlands Task Force Meeting was held on 1/16/02 to discuss this and the concePt of allowing the use of electronic trolling motors in the creeks identified in the proposed ordinance amendment.

Harper made 'the following comments: · A new multiple dock license application has been submitted for the reconfiguration of 14 BSU's on approximately 1,500' of continuous shoreline. The multiple dock facility is considered a legal conforming facility with a BSU density of approximately 1:107'. · The approved site plan involves a two dock system, with 12 BSU's at the east dock and two at the west dock. The proposed change would move four BSU's from the east dock to the west dock, resulting in eight BSU's at the east dock and six at the west dock. The proposed change would not increase the total number of BSU's at the site, but would add structure to the west dock and increase the size of' BSU's 11 and 12 from 11' x 24' to 12' x 32'. ~ '~ ~ · Two Code Sections apPly to the' new ~multiple dock license apPlication. FirSt, COde section 2.03, subd. 7 requires a new multiple dock license application when there is any substantial change in slip size or location. Staff evaluated the proposed change and determined th:at it required a new multiple dock license application, with public hearing. Second, Code SectiOn 2.01, subd. 1 prohibits a person from using any area of the Lake outside an authorized dock use area for docking and stocage of Watercraft. He defined an authOrized dock u~e are~ and concluded that the proposed site plan complies with this Code Section. · Staff evaluated the proposed site plan to determine whether a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAVV) needed to be prepared. The structure and ~aneUVedhg Space square footage for the proposed site is 10,228, well below the 20,000 square foot threshold required bY the' Environmental Quality Board/Therefore, there iS not a need' tO Prepare a mandatory EAW for the proposed application. · The MN DNR and the City of Orono were provided a copy of the proposed project. He repoded that Cron0 had no objections tothe Proposed ProjeCt and that staff was awaiting febdback frOm the MN DNR. Skramstad asked .Harper for an exPlanatiOn of the proposed Change at the'multiple dock faCility. Harper stated that a representative of the applicant was present to address that; however, he believed there might be too many boats stored atthe main dock currently and' that there are water depth issues. Mr, Michael Shields, speaking on behalf of the applicant, stated that the site.plan that is currently approved makes it difficult to store 12 boats at the main dock. .Babcock stated.that on the west,end:of;the prOpOSed siteplan; he believed there is a need to get a BSU approved for the transient, roll-away dock on the west-end of the site. Harper stated that he had researched that point and he reported that the Board has previously determined that a BSU doe~:not ne~ 'tO be~ a~'~rovei:l for'ihe ttansientl 'rOll,away~0Ckl'~'~ Babcock stated that he believed that a hand-drawn site' plan coUld be problematic' in fUture years when changes are proposed. He indicated that he would like a condition of any approval to include a more definitive site plan that is to-scale and includes side site lines, and to have staff work ~up. a Slip size report for the faCility. There being no further comments, Foster closed the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. -1104- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 9, 2002 Page3 MOTION: McMillan moved, Van Hercke seconded '[o approve the= Big Island, Inc: new multiple dock -license application for the 2002 boating season, SUbject to: 1) the applicant submitting an improved: site planthat is to-scale with side site lines, and 2) not receiving objections from the MN DNR. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. Wayzata Yacht Club (Site 2), new multiple dock license application for the reconfiguration of 26 Boat Storage Units (BSU's) on 326' of continuous shoreline, Foster called the public hearing to order at 7:17 p.m. and asked for background from staff. Harper made the following comments: · A new multiple dock license application has been submitted to reconfigure a non-conforming facility on Wayzata Bay. The facility is currently approved for 26 BSU's on 326' of continuous shoreline, with =a BSU density of 1:13'. Two changes have been proposed to the facility. The first change WOuld include the relocation of BSU's 17 and 18 to the adjacent island. The second change would widen the dock adjacent to BSU 16 to six feet wide for the installation of a jib crane on thiS dock, · Six Sections of the Code apply to the new multiple dock license applications submitted, which include: Section 2.01, subd 1; Section 2.03, subd. 7; SectiOn 2.015; Section 2,10, sUbd. 3; Section 2,03, subd; 2; and Section 2.03, subd. 5. Staff has evaluated the proposed changes with these Code Sections and had the following comments: 1) the propOsed site Plan did not have the western extended side site line documented on it and it did not inclUde the transition structure used in conjunction with the sailing school, 2) the relocation of the two BSU's and the installation of the jib crane requires a new multiple doCk/launching ramP'licenSe, with public hearing, 3) whether the widening of the dock adjacent to BSU 16 to six feet complies with the criteria in Section 2~015, and 4) whether the addition of a jib crane would be Considered an expansion of a non-conforming use under Code. · The MN DNR and the City of Wayzata were provided a copy of the new multiple dock license application on 12/21/01 for their comments. The MN DNR expressed no objections to the proposed changes. The City of Wayzata expressed nO objeCtions to the relocation of the two BSU's or the widening Of the.dock to six feet. HoWever, tl~eCity of Wayzata has raised' an objection about the Proposed jib crane,beCause city regulations prohibit this atthisSite under its existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP). · staff is nOt, prepared to make a recommendation on the proPOSed application at ~is time because there are four issues that need to be addressed ~y'fh~B~'d: TheY ii~,claded: 1') the applicant needs to resolve the pending issues with the City of Wayzata in regards to the jib crane, 2) was there SUffibient public h~aring ffoti(~b b0~cemin§ th~ addition of ihb jib cfa~e: 3) whether the BOard' WOald considei' the addition of'tl~e jib cra'~e a~d .the Widening of the,dOck adjacent to BSU #16 as an expansion of a non-conforming use, and 4) ti1e 'apPlicant' ~eeds to document on the proposed site plan that it complies with the minimum side setback from the western side site line and needs to clarify the transition structure uSed for the Lake Minnetonka Sailing School observed in past inspections. Nybeck stated that he believedthere are two Primary isSues for the Boa:rd to consider When reviewing the proposed application; First, whetherthe widening of the dock for the addition of the jib crane and -1105- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 9, 2002 Page4 the transition area for the sailing school complies with Code for the reconfiguration of non-conforming structures and authorized dock,use area restrictions, primarily side setback requirements. '~bCOnd, staff has been in contact with the City .0fiWayzata staff to diScUSs their coticems on the jib' crane and whether it is a restricted activity by their regulations, ~Phe6ity of Wayzata has recommended that the proposed application be either tabled or denied by the Board at this time to allow them to work with the applicant on city related issues. Babcock questioned whether the CUP approved by the City of Wayzata in 1976 covered this site because it was not purchased by the Wayzata Yacht Club until the mid 1980's, Ambrose stated that he believed the City of Wayzata has not concluded whether the proposed site is covered by a CUP'approved in'1976. Whether or not it is Covered in this CUP, the proposed Changes would require either an amendment to this CUP or an entirely new CUP. S.euntjens stated that it appeared,that the width of BSU's 15 and 16 would proportionally decrease with the proposed increase in dock width to six feet adjacent BSU 16. He believed that this was not propedy reflected on the proposed site plan and that it could be problematic. He asked for clarification on why the dock width needed to be increased to six feet adjacent to BSU 16. Harper stated that the:jib crane wOuldbe located on the Six foot wide dock adjacent to BSU 16. Mr. Tom Elsen, a member of the Wayzata Yacht Club Board of Directors, spoke on behalf of the applicant, He introduced Steve Bren, Wayzata Yacht Club Operations. Manager, who was in attendance to discuss.specific questions relating to the site~,=' He olarfied for the record that.the site is legally defined as !000. County Road E. He stated' that the site does ~ot have a CUP associated with it. and is considered a legal, non.conforming property. Theproperty in question was purchased by Wayzata Yacht, .Club in 1985, The proposed application will not allow .for. Boat stacking, dry storage in and out launChing .~)r. dry sailing. The intent of the proposed'application is to coniinue to operate the facility the same as it is currently, He stated that sailboats are currently launched into the lake in the spring and pulled in the fall using Rocket Crane Service or another, private crane service. He entertained comments or questions from the Board. Babcock asked for further details;on.the construction of.the dock for the proposed jib crane. He stated that if the dock i~¢luded concrete fi I er.other means to impede water flow under the dock, he:believed that there would, be issues to. resolve with the MN BNR and the MCWD Elsen stated .that the intent .is. to,use a post,type d.ock~ with. .plates above the water for. stabilization, which w0u d nQt impe~.~ water'ti°w, un~ler.,the dock,, i :i . Babcock state~'that h i° belieVed that i'ther;.are,s0~e slide,type.structures on the west end of the site used in conjunction with the sai ing schoo. These structures are.notinc uded on the:proposed site plan and they shou d' be Elsen stated that he was aware of that issue and that they would be included in a revised proposed site plan in the future. Babcock stated that he understood that the transient dingy dock used in conjunCtion,with the sailing school has noi been installed in, the same location,as onthe approved site. plan, He encouraged the -1106- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 9, 2002 Page 5 applicant not to move structures and boat storage around at the site unless it has been approved by the Board in advance. Knudsen asked if the proposed changes would increase the level of activity at the site. Elsen stated that it would not intensify the use of the site. In fact, it might lessen the activity at the site because the large boom crane used with the Private contractors would not be required in the future. He clarified that the main difference between the two cranes is that a jib crane has a fixed base and a boom crane does not. ~ Suerth stated that. the potential Icad on the dock appears to be significant and that further details of the jib crane would be beneficial for the Board. Ambrose stated that he believed the City of Wayzata would consider the use of the jib crane an intensification of the use of the site. Elsen re-stated that he did not believe that the addition of the proposed jib crane would intensify the use of the site. Ambrose stated that Wayzata Yacht Club could make that argument when an application is made for a CUP with the City of Wayzata. ~ Seuntjens asked for clarification on the issue the City of Wayzata has with the installation of the jib crane at this site. Ambrose stated that the proposed jib crane is identified as a structure under City of Wayzata regulations that requires a CUP. Babcock.stated that he believed the issue of the jib crane and the need for a CUP should be resolved between the City of Wayzata and the Wayzata Yacht Club. He reminded the Board that the jurisdiction of the District is at or below'the ordinary high water mark established for Lake Minnetonka, 929.4' NGVD. Ambrose stated that he generally agreed with that; however, Code Section 2.03~ subd. 2 raised in the staff memo requires the applicant to show that all requisite permits, licenses and approvals from the local municipality have been obtained and thatthe requirements of any other govemmental authOrity have.~een met.. ,~,~ ~ .~ ~ ~ Babcock stated that f the Board were to consider appr°V~al ~f the proposed application', it would need to be subject to the applicant c~mplying with that Code requirement, ~ ~,. , ~ Elsen stated that if conditional app,r, oval were given by the District.on .the. proposed application,:there would be a need for the Wayzata Yacht Club to..resolve the ssues with the City of Wayzata, Foster stated that he believed that conditional approval was received from the Distdct at Shorewood Yacht Club (Site 2), subject to reso v ng issues w th the. City of Shorewood, Elsen stated that he believed there are other similar cranes approved at other facilities around the lake. -1107- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 9, 2002 Page 6 Babcock asked if the submittal of an as-built survey would be a problem for the applicant. Elsen stated that it would not be a problem. There being no further comments, Foster closed the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Seuntjens asked if there are restrictions in the Code relating to the number and location of the pilings in the permanent dock to be used in conjunction with the jib crane. Babcock stated that restrictions in the Code'relating to docks primarily distinguish between permanent and seasonal docks. Although there are no objective criteria to review when considering a permanent dock structure for the addition of the jib crane, the other sections of the Code allows for review by the Board when there are concerns. Seuntjens stated that a'concern he had was that the jib crane might require a permanent dock, with continuous pilings, for stability. Elsen stated that their research has concluded that the use of continuous pilings around the exterior of the dock would not substantially increase stability of the dock. One way to address this would be to fill around the dock with concrete, noting that the Wayzata Yacht Club had no intentions of doing this. Foster stated that preliminary feedback from the engineers had indicated that there is not a need for continuous pilings. Skramstad asked for examples of other jib cranes around the lake and whether they are on land or on a dock. Foster stated that he believed that there is one jib crane on Lake Minnetonka and that is located on land at the Minnetonka Yacht Club. There are a variety of other cranes and other lifting devices around the lake, with the majodty of them on land. Skramstad stated that he believed this would be the first jib crane on the lake that would be located on a dock rather that land. Nybeck stated that he believed the Board should discuss two issues when considering the proposed application. First, was there sufficient notice to the public in the public hearing notice because it referenced a new multiple dock license application; however, it did not reference the addition of a jib crane or launching ramp. A second issue for the Board to consider was if the proposed changes are considered an expansion of a non-conforming facility based on the District Code. Harper stated that there is a need to ensure that the transient dock used in conjunction with the sailing school is properly identified on the proposed site plan to ensure that it complies with authorized dock use area requirements, especially minimum side setback requirements. Seuntjens stated that it is difficult for the Board to consider a proposed application when necessary details are either missing or not accurate. -1108- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District I~egular Board Meeting January 9, ?00Z page 7 Van Hercke concurred with Seuntjens. Seuntjens stated that he understood that there are boats stored on the shore used in conjunction with the sailing school. He asked if the District records have a count on these boats. Babcock stated that Code separates boats into restricted and unrestricted watercraft, When a commercial facility is licensed by the District, restricted watercraft stored on land are counted to the authorized number and he believed a recent Code amendment counted a percentage of the unrestricted watercraft stored on land. Seuntjens stated that if the Code requires a percentage of the unrestricted watercraft stored on land to be counted against the multiple dock license, those details are missing on the proposed site plan and need to be included, McMillan stated that she would prefer reviewing the proposed application at a future meeting when the details on the proposed site plan are clarified and when the issues at the City of Wayzata are resolved. Nybeck stated that the counting of unrestricted watercraft on land at licensed multiple dock facilities has not been done in recent years during inspections. If the Board decides that it want these details on unrestricted watercraft stored on land, staff will adjust future inspections accordingly, He questioned whether the Code currently has a restriction on unrestricted watercraft stored on land at multiple dock facilities and that this would need to be further checked into by staff, Babcock asked for clarification on what is needed to resolve the pending application. Foster stated that he believed the applicant has requested conditional approva of the new multiple dock license application, subject to resolving the pending issues with the City of Wayzata. He added that there are a number of details that have been discussed that need to resolved on the proposed site plan. McMiltan asked the applicant if they have been scheduled at an upcoming Wayzata City Council meeting. Elsen stated that they are not. Ambrose recommended that representatives of the Wayzata Yacht Club file the proper application with the City .of Wayzata in the near future because it would need to be reviewed by both Planning Commission and the City Council. He suggested setting a meeting date with ~ity staff in the near future to discuss the process and the pending issues. Skra.nstad stated that he was struggling w th the con, cept of the jib crane on the dock rather than on the land. He questioned whether it would be setting a precedent for the lake that isnot desired. Elsen stated that one advantage of locating the jib crane on the dock rather than on land is that it allows the center of the upright pole to be closer to the center of the boat. He believed that is less intrusive and safer. -1109- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting JanUary 9, 21)02 page8 Nelson asked if the Board had feedback on the issue raised by staff on whether there was sufficient public hearing notice for the jib crane. LeFevere stated that the question on whether there Was sufficient public headng notice for the launch ramp, especially the jib crane, is a judgement call for the Board. There might be some neighbors in the immediate area that:woUld have concern relating to the addition of the jib crane that Were not notified of this public headng. If the Board concludes that this type of launch ramp might be a concern to the neighbors in the immediate area, it would make sense to re-publish a public headng notice including this so that they are properly notified. Foster' asked what was the pleasure of the Board on the proposed application at this meeting. Nybeck recommended that the Board direct staff to work with the applicant to include the details discussed this evening on the proposed site plan and to re-publish a public hearing notice to include the jib crane. He believed that the Board could consider this at one of the two meetings scheduled in February. .' MOTION: BabcOck moved, Knudsen seconded to continue the proposed new multiple dock liCense aPplication to a future mbeting, to re-advertise a public hearing notice to include the addition of the jib crane, to direct staff to inform' the apPlicant that an additional 60 days are needed to process the pending application, and to include preliminary drawings and other information on the proposed jib crane. VOTE: Motion carded unanimously. 1. LAKE USE & RECREATION ' A. Discussion of Boating Trends on Lake Minpetonka RepOrt, .1984 to 2000. Foster stated that Tim Kelly was in attendance to discuss this Report prepared by the MN DNR. He thanked Kelly for attending 'the meeting and asked him to provide an overvieW of the Report. Nybeck stated that Kelly was also in attendance to discuss the frequency of conducting the boat density and user attitude surveys on Lake Minnetonka, which is a joint project between the District and the MN DNR. KellY stated that the Report is desCriPtivel not judgmehtal. B°ating conditions and trehds are only described and not discussed as a positive or negative. The Report c0ve~i the ~)eti0819~:'to 2000 with' a ~onsistent methOdolOgy. Sih~9'92, th~'MN"DNR aha! th'e~Distdct ha~/e' dbn:~'::boat de'nsity surveys every two years and user attitude surveys every four years. All studies ~'~er th~ P~od from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. A major finding of the Report documents stability over they'ears in te~s Of b~a'tin§.use and'b0~t~r'~:~xp~rieln~e'~n Lake uiri'r~et(:;nka.: By 1984, a .:. general pattern of' bo~tiiiguse a~d: boat6r~ experience e~iSted, a~d ba~icaii~/thi~ patts~ siiii exists today, albeit with some variations. He summarized specific highliCts of the Report. They included: · Boating numbers on the lake have remained stable Over tihie. · The geographic pattern of use of the lake has remained stable over time, with the east end of the lake used more heavily over time versus the southwest end of the lake as an example. -1110- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January % 2002 Page 9 · The temporal pattern of use, at least for riparian residents, has remained stable over time. The same allocation of boating has occurred between weekends and weekdays, by hour within weekend days, and by hour within weekday days..- - The major contributors to boats on the lake are ripadan residents and commercial accesses, both at 30%. Public accesses contribute 25% of the boatson the lake with municipal docks contributing 1.5%. Source contributions from public accesses'has increased some over time and commercial access source contributions has deCreased some. · The lake is used mostly for boat riding, cruising, and less so for fiShing and other activities. Boat riding has increased some over time and fishing has decreased some. · The lake, being a large body of Water, has alWays been a place for larger boats. Over time, the boats have gotten bigger, more powerful, and more substantial. Few utility/fishing boats are still in use on the lake. · Satisfaction with boating on the lake has stayed consistently high Over time from a boating experience standpoint. Boaters perception of crowding on the lake has remained constant over time. Although the lake is acrowded place to boat based on State Of Minnesota standards, it has not gotten more crowded over time according to boaters. .BOaters are much more aware of an enforcement presence on the lake now as compared to 1984, with 5% of the boaters believing the' level of e~forcement being too high and 54% believing it is about right. Few boaters, 5%, view boating restrictions that are in Place as a detractor to the boating experience. Restrictions are much more likely to viewed as adding to the enjoyment of the bOating experience, 40%, or not affecting the boating experience, 55%. · Boaters using public aCCess on the lake give high marks to these facilities aS Places to launch or land a boat. The primary use problem public access boaters have is the quantity of PUblic access available, with the Primary improvement these boaters want is more parking spaces. · He.entertained questionS or comments from the Board. . Van Hercke asked for feedback on the distribution of this RePort. Kelly stated that the bound Report would be forwarded to Board members and a variety of libraries, including the MN DNR and the state legislature. It also will be available on the MN DNR website. Van Hercke asked for clarification on the methodology used in determining the residents that receive the dpadan surveys. Kelly stated that the surveY is sent to'a statistical sample of all residents that haVe a parcel that abuts the lake based on Hennepin County records. Knudsen asked if the use of personal watercraft has substitutecl for the use Of other Watercraft on the lake. Kelly stated that there is data'that indicateS that Water skiing on lakes in' the State of MinneSbta is generallY on the decline, primarily due to the population getting older that ha~e skied ih 'the past and other substitute thrill sports. One of these thrill sports istl~e usb of PeB~nal watercraft, Foster stated~that he believed there has been a redbction in water Skiing on the lake in recent years; however, there has been an increase in other towed toys. -1111- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting January 9, 2002 Page 10 Seuntjens complimented the Report and noted that there has not been a significant change in the trends in it. He suggested that it might be appropriate to conduct the study every four years rather than every two. He asked for feedback from Kelly. Kelly stated from a research standpoint, the MN DNR would be comfortable conducting the surveys every four years rather than every two years. He believed that an excellent base of information has been established indicating that the lake is not highly dynamic on a year-to-year basis. The MN DNR is interested in continuing this work; however, less frequently. Babcock asked what was the catalyst for this particular Report. Kelly stated that hehas been involved in this study since 1992. When both surveys have been conducted every four years, a Report similar to this has been prepared by the MN DNR. The Board discussed if the frequency of the boat density and user attitude surveys should be changed. MOTION: Seuntjens moved, Skramstad seconded to change the frequency of the boat density and user attitude surveys to every four years, beginning in 2004. Van Hercke questioned whether changing the frequency oi'the boat density survey to every four years would be problematic because the District uses that information regularly. BabcOck stated that although he agreed that the trends are not changing significantly, he viewed the boa[density survey work conducted every two years as valuable. He stated that he would oppose the motion because he believed the money invested every two years is well spent. He believed an amendment shoUld be made to the motion sta{ing that the MN DNR would be agreeable to change the frequency back to every two years if that is deemed necessary by the District.

VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. B. Bayview Event Center, new multiple dock license (minor change) application for 37 Boat Storage Units (BSU's) on 370' of continuous shoreline. Foster asked for comments from staff on this agenda item. Harper stated that the applicant has submitted a new multiple dock license application, with minor change, to reduce the number of BSU's from 40 to 37 due to a decrease in dedicated shoreline. In 2001, this facility was approyed for 40 BSU's on 420' of continuous shoreline. It has recently been determined that 50' of shoreline that was believed to be under the control of the applicant was actually under the control of the abutting property owner to the south, Tonka Bay Sales. The applicant is proposing to reduce the number of approved BSU's to 37 to meet the 1:10' density requirement with the existing special density license. He reviewed Code Section 2.03, subd. 7 that allows the Board to issue a new multiple dock license, without a public, headng and without requiring the payment of a fee theref(~r, provided a number of conditions are met. The applicant has met these conditions and staff recommends approval by the Board, subject to not receiving negative feedback from the City of Excelsior and the MN DNR. Nybeck stated that the City of Excelsior has informed staff that the conditional use permit for this facility would need to be updated by the applicant. Babcock asked the applicant if'they were sure that they had 375' of continuous shoreline at this site. Mr. Bob Ziton, representing the applicant, stated that the site had 375' of continuos shoreline. McMillan stated that she would like to have the site plan properly reflect the adjusted dock use area granted to Tonka Bay sales.

Dick Osgood, Ecosystem Strategies representing the Lake Minnetonka Association (LMA); Greg Nybeck, LMCD Executive Director; Judd Harper, LMCD Administrative Technician. Minutes, The Task Force reviewed the minutes from the 9/14/01 EWM/Exotics Task Force meeting and acceptedthem as submitted. DisCussion of 2001 LMCD EWM Harvesting Program Final Report. Suedh asked for an overview of the Final Report for the 2001 Eurasian Watemilfoil (EWM)Harvesting Program. Harper made the following comments: · The 2001 season consisted of eight weeks starting on June 1,5 and ending on August 10. The 32 working days in 2001 was a 44% reduction from the 2000 season, which consisted of 57 working days. The crew in 2001 was. reduced to operate four of the five harvesters, five days a week, for eight hours a day..High precipitation and cooler temperatures in the spring and eady summer contributed to due. the lack of milfoil. · Lake level's throughout the course of the 2001 season were much higher when compared to 2000 and 1999, The.lake level on the first day of the 2001 season was 930.02' NGVD, compared to 928.31' NGVD in 2000 and 929.62' in 1999. The highest lake level during the 2001 season was 930.05' NGVD on 6/19/01, compared to a highest lake level of 928.51' NGVD in 2000 and 929.80~NGVD in 1999. · The total amount of acreage harvested in 2001 was 619.75, compared to 895.75 in 2000 and 61..4.:00 in 1999. The total number of harvester loads in 2001 was 225, compared to 358.35 in 2000 and 222.70 in 1999. For comparison purposes, the 2001 season should be evaluated with the 1999 season because of the similar amount of days, a similar number of harvesting hours, and the operation of four harvesters rather than five. " · Harvest ng,pdorit es were based upon impediment to public.boat navigation on the open,water, with higher pdodty given to the areas of the lake that were matted. A rotating harvesting schedule has:been established by the Distdct with options to be rotated every fourth year. In 2001, the South Upper Lake Option was implemented; however~ extraordinary circumstances existed that',required diverting from · A change was:madein 2001 when:the District contracted with Cutfman Trucking and Repair, Inc.~ for' maintenance of the harvesting equipment. The efforts made Curfman Trucking and Repair, Inc. reSulted in improved efficiency and decreased downtime of the harvesting equipment. This change was one of the main highlights in 2001. · Five changes wereimplemented in 2001 that contributed to the success of the program. They included: 1) the purChase of a new Ford F-350 truck and an enClOsed trailer for suPplies and parts', 2)lauhching the, harvesters in the water when the crew an-ives in mid June, 3) launching five harvesters,~in'the water; hOwever, staffing for only four of them~ 4) operating these four harvesterS~for a 40 hour Work week:rather than 48, and 5) operating a reduced crew at the tail-end of August only if the budget allows:for additional expenditures. -1116- EWMIEXOT!CS TASK FORCE, 12/14/01, PAGE 2 o Expenses incurred in the 2001 season were Well below what was budgeted. The primary factors for a reduction in expenses incurred was the reduction in workdays and below average milfoil growth. For future budget preparations and analysis, staff does not believe the 2001 season is a good benchmark for these reasons. · There are a number of aspects for the EWM Working Group to evaluate to improve the harvesting program. Some of these include: 1) How to better manage the harvesting program to become more efficient, 2) When a new aquatic plant harvester should be ~purchased and what to do with the replaced equipment, 3) How the program can improve efficiency to remove as much milfoil as permitted, and 4) What changes could be implemented to the trucking aspect for the harVesting program. Barton discussed preliminary plans for a restoration plan to improve water quality on Medicine Lake. One aspect of this plan is to establish a comprehensive aquatic plant management plan to address the various agencies involvement. He stated that he would keep the Task Force involved on this project. UPdate of "Let's KeeP Zebra MUssels Out of Lake Minnetonka" Project. Nybeck stated that the process to establish an Action Plan to prevent the introduction of zebra mussels is on- going. Although attendance has been disappointing at the first two stakehOlders meetings, the projest is proceeding. At the second meeting, a matrix was established that outlined the points of access and modes of entrance into Lake Minnetonka. Osgood stated that despite the Iow attendance, the two meetings have been productiVe: Four points of access and three modes of entrance were discuSsed by the stakeholders' at the second meeting. The points of access included madnas, access, riparian, and tributary lakes. The modes of entrance trailered watercraft, transported watercraft, and sPeCial events. The stakeholders then discussed and agreed on action thresholds based on the results of the cells and categories within the matrix. The stakeholders concluded that all Categories are worthy of attention in the Action Plan. The highest ranking category within the matrix was trailered watercraft at accesses. The next highest ranking category had five cells in it. This included trailered watercraft at marinas, trailered watercraft at riparian sites, transported watercraft at madnas, transported watercraft at acCesses,and trailered watercraft at riparian sites: The last category had two cells in it. This included special events at marinas and special.events at accesses. Wellingreviewed an: article that discussed zebra mussels on Lake St: Clair in several of Situations. This included the exterior of the boat, anchors, entangled macrOphytes, livewells, bilges, and. bait buckets. The article concluded that the greatest risk was through the transport of macrophytes with zebra mussels .attached to it. He believed the question for the stakeholders to address is whether the dsk of introduction by various;methods is being completely analyzed. Osgood stated that,he believed it has not, been done at this point. ':Future stakehOlde'r meetings are planned to discuss the matrix and get more detailed:on the analysis. He informed the TaSk Forcethat they would be kept up to date on theproject. , .- Agency Reports, Welling ~stated that he was work ng on the MN DNR Annual Report relating to Eurasian Watermilfoil. There were 12 newJnfestations this year; bring the total to 133. He stated that there might be. some other bodies of water that have Eurasian Watermilfoil that have not yet been identified as infested. The cost share program will be evaluated inthe near future by the MN DNR. - -1117- EWM/,EXQ.T, ICS TASK FORCE, 12/14101, PAGE 3 Area wide lake association reports.

As this program is introduced for the fn'st time to others, this is an additional opportunity for you or a member of your staff to submit a project proposal. This year $200,000 is available. While these funds could be used to support a variety of waste reduction and recycling activities, I'd particularly like to ask for your consideration to participate in a source separated organics program. Source seParated organics is the collection of food waste and non-recyclable paper. Once collected, this waste stream is delivered to a compost facility for processing. The end result is a high-quality compost product ready for retail sale, and a significant amount of material is diverted from being managed as waste to being a useable product. Enclosed you will find grant guidelines and application instructions for your review. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. If you have any questions about the Incentive Grant Program and County staff assistance to develop a project, please contact Dan Ruiz, of my staff, at (612) 348-5893'. We hope to hear from you soon.

Announcements: · Members of our Executive Committee will sign the Governance Agreement for the Alliance which has incorporated the changes we suggested. · We have hired four Child Associates who will implement the Primary Project, which we will call "Hand in Hand," at Hilltop, Shirley Hills, and the Early Childhood Center. The School Social Workers will be the staff persons supervising the Child Associates with Leah coordinating the program. Funding is from the Alliance ($20,00% We need to set up the rooms, share information with parents and staff,and complete the selection process for participants. We are hoping to have the program operational by mid-February. · We haveanother grant from the Alliance - $13,000 for Allies for Change. We will be doing a website for parent information and hope to have links to other groups within the community. Kathy Jones and the Parent Education Group are working on this. Their next meeting is January 23, 2002 at 1 p.m. at the Westonka Library. · The Health Group continues to work on depression awareness. They will be distributing cards throughout the community, an adult and a teen version being shared. · The Skate park donor packet is done and copies were shared. Information will be shared at the Mound and Minnetrista City Councils. An article was included on the front page of the Sun Sailor written by Ann Wilbur. This resulted in a donation from a person who plans to ask the Orono Council to also make a donation as they had been discussing developing a skate park in the Navarre area. · It's time to make a decision as to whether will we organize the City Days parade again. · We recently received $550 for our work last year which Leah described as 'ffun!" If we take on this project, members will need to volunteer to help, especially on parade day. · Dr. Jennifer Olson will.speak on "Healthy Aging" at the Gillespie Center on 2/6/02 from 12:45 to 1:45.

Annual Report and EvaluatiOn: Copies of the Annual Report were distributed. Thanks to Leah and Carol for the their hard work! Leah also distributed the Principles and Goals for 2002 from the Alliance for Families and Children in Hennepin County as well as a copy of the Top Four Priorities we developed in April, 2000. We discussed the status of various of the projects we have funded or jointly funded~ · The Mound Police Department did not get Federal funding to continue the SRO (officer in the schools,) nor was it included in the proposed City budget. In order to continue the program, Len Harrell has. offered to retire on June 30th to free up money to cover the position. · The Youth Center is not operating this year. Staffing was an issue as well as the time commitment required of Leah to train the student mentors. Bill Erickson shared that many young people are now coming to the Library after school which has created some behavior management issues. John Braland offered that his father does a "Breakfast Club" at the high school in Burnsville. He will check with him about meeting with us to share his experience. · The Storefront program will be ending as it has been underfunded. It serves a small -1141- number of families, and it is difficult to find on-going funding for such a project. Our discussion resulted in the following conclusions: START: Mentoring In-home services through Children's Mental Health Materials and outreach to non-English speaking families (CASH already does this with some of their materials) Get demographics for our community including non-English languages spoken Depression screening day Anxiety screen day Secure a location for a Family Resource Center Research our meeting schedule STOP: Storefront Project Activity Bus (???) - we need current date about ridership Resource Directory - transfer to a Webpage CONTINU E: Relate Project i.n the Schools Depression Awareness NYPUM Back to School events Skate Park Parenting Information Domestic Abuse Support Program Sharing Activities of member groups Recruit new members (including youth) Continue collaboration with area social service agencies 4.

Margaret Holste, Recorder -1142- THREE RIVERS PARK DiSTRiCT . - ../'" i): [ , ,,(g .. HENNEPIN PARKS CHANGING NAME TO 'THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT' In furtherance of its' missioo and to better define who we are, Hennepin Parks is becoming Three Rivers Park District. Ai~ough the. Park District's name i's changing, it will re- main the same wonderful system it-has been for more than ,40 years, and will continue to evolve for the benefit of its park '¢isitors. I ' The Park Distrikt has.been considering a namechange for a number of },ears. The common name Hennepin Parks has had., many su. ccesses, but it does not accurately reflect the seven:count:y geographic dis. tribution of our park properties ~nd has been a source Of confusion for the public. The Scott County Board.of Comm, issmners requested th.at we consider. _ adopting a name that better represents ourj 0impowers ~[gree- merit with them, We concurred that a Common name ch..a8ge ig impodant for_the future of the Park District. Sui'veys of the public and of our volunteers confirmed a general mistm- derstanding 0f our jurisdiktion as a Special park district iff the State of_Minnesota. . - The name "Three Rivers Park District" was approved unani- mously on December 6 by our Board of Commissioners. The name was selected With the assistance of a professional naming consultant following c~)nsiderabl~,public and s~f~ .HENNEPINP&II[KS bec~ming THREE RIYERs'PARK DISTRICT input. We are very excited to become Thre~ Rivers' Park, District and. have chosen the name to reflect the following: · geographic distribution of regional park properties within th~ watersheds of the Mississippi, Minnesota and Crow Rivers; and, · rich cultural history of these three rivers and how they hax;e shaped our community. Although the,3ark District is changing its .common name, its mission to promote environmental stewar,dship through recreation and education in a natural resources-based park system remains unchanged as its foremost priority. As 'it has for the past 40 plu~ years, the Park,Distric~ will continue to evolve for the 'benefit of our constituents. I ' I -- ] 143- Public Ofj~cialr Znfo$mbr I' , January 2002 The Suburban H~nnepin Rdgional l~ark District, or Three Rivers Park DistriCt, is. an independent, special park district established by the ~ State Legislature in 1957..As a. special park district, we are charged Wa~G~a ¢0U~ with the r~sponsibiliti~s of acquisi- tion, de,yelopment and 'mainte- nan~ce of Iarge park reserves, regional~ park. s and regional trails forthe benefit and use of citizens of suburban Hemaepin County, Scott' Coun. ty, the metropolitan area, as well as the State of Minnesota. Presently, the District owns and operates in excess of 26,000 acres located in seven counties, Approximately 53% of:our operating budget is provided by sub. urban Hennepin County tax- payers. The balance is primarily provided by other counties, non-tax park use revenues and state/ ~. metropolitan council regional park grants.. Since 1973, the'park Districihas operated regional facilities in.Scott County as a result of a joint powers agree- m~nt between the twoagencies. A nih6 member Scott Hennepin Park Advisory ,Board makes recommendations to the Scott- Cgunty and Park Dis~ct Boards, of Commissioners on matters related to regional park properties. The Park District also works cooperatively with the Metropolitah Parks and Open Space Commission, Metropolitan Council and the - ~State Legislature as one often ~ ~mplementing agencies of the Metropolitan Regibnal Park System. This system of pa~ks was established in 1974 by'the Minnesota State Legis- lature and collectively serves more than. 28 inillion park guests per year in the se.ven county metro area, providing 9utdoor education, recreation facilities, services and programs. DAKOTA COUNTY LIGHTED TRAILS '1 The Park District now offers five locations with lighted trails. Cleary Lake Regional Park and Eagle Lake Regional Park are the'laiest parks, to add lighted trails, joining Elm'Creek Park Reserve, F. rench Regional Park and Hyland Lake Park Reserve. Although best known for providing evening facilities for c~oss- country, skiers, the trails also are open in the spring and fall for evening hildng. Tl~.e five parks offer a. total of 24.4 ~lometers (about 15 miles) of lighted trails. The Park District hopes' to add lighted trails at Baker Park Reserve as soon as¥ossible. It also should be noted that fUnding for a Wintei Recreation Area at Elm Creek Park Reserve is included, in the ~Metro Council's 2002-2003 Capital Improvement Program, which will be cohsidered by the State Legislature this year. This area would include a new trailhead complex of build- -ings, snoW-making for a crOSS-COun, try' ski trail loop, a ' "~ub/ng" facility and a downhill ski tra'ming area. - -1144- ' ?ubiic OJfici~ls I~form~r' DRAC. O a LIES As 2001 ends, ~he Park District bids farewell to the Year of Open Space and welcomes the Year of Dragoqjqies. . ,'Now, in 2002, attention will be directed to the dragonfly. Numer- ous Year of Dragonflies programs will be offered throughout 2002. These programs will fp. cu~ on the myths and legends of dragoiiflies as well as equally intere, sting facts about these insects. The myths include the ability to sew skin, which gave rise to names such as ~'Dam~. hag Needle" and"Devil's Darner." Ofcourse4 ch:agonflies can't even sting or bite.

In recent years, they have discovered the healing power of nature on the MediCine Trail and have' become inspired by the hei:oines whose stories unfold' on the "Women,Making a Difference" trail. With the calls of song- birds and the tang of fresh apple cider imprinted' in their memory, they all have 'left Richardson with smiles on their faces and the_ endearing message of stewardship in their hearts.

COON RAPIDS DAM ' '1 In 1995 and 1996, the control gates at the Coon Rapid~ Dam (which dated to l'913) were repla~ed. The new ~ontrol gate system 9onslsts of four robber gates mad a steel control gate. Beginning~n.1997; problems develOped with the robber gates. The "rubber bags" had leaks and had to be deflated and re- placedJ An extensive cofferdam had to be construCted-in front, of the damaged gates before construction could begin. The walkway on the dam had to b~ closed and,' on occasion, the water levels had to be lowered. ThePark District and the gate manufacturer reached an agi'ee- ment to replace the' rubber dontrol gates '.m the summer/fall of 2001. To ,facilitate-this project, the Park District designed and · had ffibricated a gate closure (cofferdam) s~,stem that was used for the replacement project and also is available for future dam maintenance and repairs. This system Will allow 'the normal p0ol elevation to be maintained during repairs and also will' save time in temporary/partiai cofferdam construction. The walkway across the dam was closed July 9, 2001, and remained closed for the duration of the re-constmction. Gates No. 2 and No. 3, the ;hortest'rubber gates, were replaced first. On September 4, the pool was lowered .to its winter elevation. The cohtractor then replaceed the large robber Gates No. 1 and No. 4. Although the.reconstruction was finished on Nb- vember !, 2001, a final item of rehabilitation was added. The steel'crest gate, which adjusts the pool elevation.under normal conditions, had' experienced ~ome hydraulic problems, and is being rehabilitated. Gate r. ep,airs/repl'acement was coverall by the original dam ~ehabilitation. warranty, ~vhich has been ex- .tended by the manufacturerTor a new !0-year period. -1147-. _ ?ublie Ofli_ cials In/ortner~ GRIMM I~ARM On October 6, 2001, the'Park DistriCt celebrated (the restora- tion of the Grimm farmhouse in Carver' Park Reserve.

Facing a $2b deficit, Governor Ventura has proposed nearly $90m in cuts to Local Government Aid and Market Value Credits. Meanwhile, House and Senate leaders have agreed this week to an alternative budget-balancing plan that makes NO cuts in general city aids. But the TIF Deficit Grant Pool of $129m is eliminated! Who's right? Who's being realistic? Will the Governor accept or veto the legislative plan? If so, will the House and Senate override the veto? What will the updated February 27th revenue forecast hold for the future of these plans? And even if the immediate problem is solved, what about the continuing deficits projected for 2004 and beyond? The Senate has also passed a bonding bill that is generally positive for city environmental, transportation, infrastructure, and economic development programs. But the House has yet to pass a bill, and has indicated ils intention to adopt a much smaller program. Add to that legislative action surrounding homeland security and you can see cities have a lot at stake! Key leaders from the House and Senate have agreed to spend the morning with city officials discussing the present and the future of State-City relations. Conftrrned participants include: House Tax Committee Chair Ron Abrams House Capital Investment Committee Chair Jim I{noblach Senate Assistant Majority Leader John Hottinger House Judiciary Finance Committee Chair Rich Stanek Following lunch, we are strongly encouraging city officials to go to the Capitol.
