ADJOURN This is a preliminary agenda and subject to change. The Council will set a final agenda at the meeting.

Upcoming Events Schedule: Don't Forget!,! Mar 12 - 7:30 - CC regular meeting Mar 19 - Public Safety Facility Open House - City Hall Mar 26 -6:30 - HRA regular meeting Mar 26 - 7:30 - CC regular meeting Apr 18 - Public Safety Open House - Fire Station #5.B. On-Sale Liquor License Fees The State allows us to collect fees to cover the cost of providing services. Police Chief Harrell will be on hand to discuss the potential Police Department impacts of issuing up to three licenses. We are already receiving inquiries about these types of licenses and need to set adequate and fare fee for this service before the applications start coming in. #6. Update on Fire/Public Safety Facility Representatives from the Study Group and SEH will be present to update you regarding the scaled down plan and the communications efforts being made. You will be asked to attend the open houses scheduled in March and April. We need to mention that at this meeting and notify the public that you will all be present, as required under the Open Meeting Law. Additionally, we will post it at City Hall. You will not be asked to vote on the financing until after the second open house. MetroPlains' Paperwork A final wrap is being done on the administrative portions of the MetroPlains project with the plat having been signed on Thur, before Mayor Meisel's departure on vacation. This item is on the agenda in the event that any last minute issues develop around the plat or the subdivision agreement. If there are none, it will be pulled from the agenda. #9. Balboa Agreement Some years back, a business known as ACT II located in the Balboa building (Tonka Building). It was financially enabled by a state grant from the Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED), which passed through the city to the business, making the city responsible for the loan. Certain equipment was designated as the collateral. ACT II has recently defaulted and we have been working on a deal with the landlord that settles our bill for storage with Balboa and helps recover some dollars through the sale of the equipment. The agreement in the packet is the first draft, and will be negotiated up through the time of the council meeting. You will receive an updated draft at the meeting but, through this discussion and by seeing the early draft, you will have the essence of the matter and be confident in approving an agreement. If agreement cannot be reached by the time of the meeting, the item will be pulled from the agenda. Other There was a recent question regarding my accessibility after hours. You are always welcome to call me if you think the situation warrants it. My number is listed in Citizen's Mound book and is with directory assistance. In my first city, Eyota, I had an unlisted number, and had people come to my doorstep, unannounced! I now prefer make myself fully accessible. By doing so, I actually get approached less!

As you are aware, the MCWD appr6ved the Mound Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) on May 10, 2001 subject to a number of conditions including the execution oi'a Cooperative Agreement between the MCWD and the City of Mound within six-months following the Plan's approval. The Cooperative Agreement was approved by the City Council at its October 23, 2001 meeting. Subsequently, the MCWD Board of Managers approved the Cooperative Agreement at its December 6, 2001 meeting subject to a number of conditions including a requirement that states that certain amendments and/or revisions must be made to various sections of the Mound City Code within six (6) months. The public hearing for review of the proposed amendment(s) to the Zoning Ordinance was held by the City Council at its Tuesday, February 12, 2002 meeting and was subsequently tabled until Tuesday, March 12, 2002 due to concern expressed by members of the City Council with regard to the proposed revision(s) to Rule M. printed on recycled paper -1211 - As stated during my presentation last night, the City of Mound respectfully requests written responses to the following question: In the event the proposed rule revisions are approved, will Mound's Surface Water Management Plan be grandfathered under the existing rules, and if so, for how long? As discussed previously with MCWD staff, it is our expectation that Mound's Plan would be grandfathered since both the SWMP and the Cooperative Agreement, have already been approved and is consistent with the current MCWD Plan. Additionally, in the event Mound's Plan would be grandfathered under the existing rules, would the MCWD consider amending the Cooperative Agreement to reflect this position? Additionally, while the Mound City Council did not prepare a formal resolution with regard to proposed Rule M, members expressed strong concern regarding its passage due to possible negative impacts upon Mound's redevelopment activities and also questioned whether expanded and/or increased buffers provided additional water quality protection. On behalf of the City of Mound, I would ask that you share this information with the MCWD Board of Managers. If you have any questions regarding this letter or would like any additional information, please feel free to contact me at 952-472-3190. "b-~r~h J.

A vote had been scheduled for the February 28, 2002 meeting. After reviewing the comments received during the comment period it became evident to the Managers that there remains many misconceptions requiring further explanation as well as issues that need additional research and discussion by the MCWD. Staff may be contacting you during this period to clear up any misconceptions. While specific dates have not been set at this time, the Board projects a final decision to be made during Spring 2002. A revision of the rule will be circulated prior to any final action.

I talked with Terry before you all left and it sounded like a lot of fun. I am working with Chuck Holtman to put together a letter explaining the potential impact of Rule M to city plans. Given the change in the schedule for rule adoption we may have to delay a little on the letter. On Feb. 21, at the close of the public comment period, the MCWD Board decided to delay action on the rule due to the volume and nature of the comments received. A special workshop was scheduled for this Thursday (3/7) to allow the staff time to summarize the comments, do some additional research and provide additional opportunity for the Board to discuss potential revisions to the rule. This also allows us a chance to answer what appear to be misconceptions of the rule and work out some minor details. With this in mind, it is my recommendation that we wait until after Thursday's meeting and then complete a letter that would better explain how the proposed rule may affect your city. This should get the letter to you in time for your 3/12 meeting. Let me know if this will not work or if you need any further info on the rule process and time frame. At this time, their is no date set for approval of the rule except to say that the Board is trying to complete their process by sometime this spring. -1216- HAR-O1-2002 17: 50 MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED 6124710682 P.01/01 Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Improving Quality of Water, Quality of iife FYI 6:45p~, - Board o1' M;maga~ Wm'k:shoP Hop~s City Hall 1010 pir~ Stfl;et South Ho~$, MN RasPbmy Room Bom~ M Marmgm~: P-am BliXl:, PTesidm~ Malcok~ Reid, Vl~ ~~ ~ RM, ~ N~ Indic~ ~es are e~a~s; a~al ~es may ~ ~sid~b~.

In accordance with your amendment request received January 31, 2002, individual stormwater management plans for business and industrial lots with 30 to 75 percent of impervious surface will no longer be required. Instead, these lots will have to meet the requirements of the city's approved Surface Water Management Plan. The executive summary of the plan adequately describes the situation and justifies your request. I find that the city's draft amendment is in substantial compliance with Minnesota Rules 6120.2500- 6120.3900, and hereby conditionally approve it. Full approval will be granted after the city has officially adopted the amended ordinance. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact me at (651) 772-7910.

The City is authorized by City Code 800.05, Subd. 2, to issue no more than three Class A (On-sale, hotel and restaurant) licenses. No Class B (Sunday Sales) licenses will be issued to anyone other than a licenses holding a valid Class A license. The current fee for the on-sale liquor license is $4,5001year. This fee seems in line with what other cities our size are charging, but substantially lower than our neighboring, smaller cities. Per the 2001 Association of Metropolitan Municipalities Fee Survey, here are some fees of smaller, neighboring cities (under 2,500 population): City of Spring Park charges $9,050/year; Excelsior charges $10,000/year; Long Lake charges $6,000/year. Bill Weeks of Spring Park stated that they receive opposition to the size of their fee, but justi~ it because of the expense that c~me from enforcement - mainly police time. I'm enclosing a copy of the fee survey for your reference. To raise the on-sale liquor license fee, a public hearing must be held by the Council. There is a requirement to mail notice to affected licensees at least 30 days before the date set for the hearing. We don't have any affected licensees at this time. There is no state requirement for publishing the notice. You may want to bring this to the Council's attention, in effort to be pm.active regarding this issue. If you need any additional info, please let me know. Mi~esota Statutes 2000, 340A.408 .

PROJECT DETAILS Details regarding the proposal are contained are contained in the Planning Report and the February 21, 2002 meeting minutes which have been included as attachments. RECOMMENDATION Based on its review, the DCAC voted 2-2 to forward the application on to the City Council without a recommendation. Members of the City Council are advised that an earlier motion to approve the application (subject to conditions) was made but subsequently failed on a 2-2 vote. While a number of the property corners were identified on the site, members of the DCA(' expressed concern that the survey was not updated to identify the distance of the respective encroachment(s.) Members of the City Council are advised that a resolution for the aforementioned Public Lands Permit was not prepared in advance as the application' was forwarded by the DCAC without a recommendation. ATTACHMENTS February 21, 2002 DCAC meeting minutes November 15, 2001 DCAC meeting minutes Planning Report - 1791 Resthaven Lane - 1223- Minutes ora Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21, 2001 MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE MOUND ADVISOR"( DOCKS COMMISSION FEBRUARY 21, 2002 Present: Vice-Chair Greg Eurich, Frank Ahrens, Gerald Jones and City Council Representative Mark Hanus.

APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 17, 2002 DOCK AND COMMONS ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES MOTION by Ahrens second by Jones to approve the January 17, 2002 Dock and Commons Advisory Commission Minutes. MOTION carried unanimously. 2. AGENDA CHANGES NONE 3. PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT: JAMES POWERS, 1791 RESTHAVEN LANE James Powers is requesting an "after-the fact" Public Lands Permit to allow a number of evergreen trees and retaining wall section to remain within Sunset Landing. It appears the builder, Superior Value Homes installed the landscaping elements in the Sunset Landing right-of-way in error, when the new home at 1791 Resthaven Lane was constructed. - 1224- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21,2001 The applicant has expressed his desire for the landscaping elements to remain in the public right-of-way so as to minimize overflow and runoff from the street and driveway areas as well as to buffer the public landing area from the new residential home. Staff recommends denial of the Public Lands Permit request form James Powers to allow continued placement of the evergreen and retaining right- of-way due to the following issues: 1. As the evergreen trees continue to grow, they will encroach further into the Sunset Landing area thereby impacting access and parking. 2. It appears that the improvements that were installed can be easily relocated on to the applicant's property. There appears to be no public benefit of allowing the landscaping encroachments to continue on the City's property. Staff is in agreement that the tree line helps to provide a separation between Sunset Landing and the subject property and also enhances the visual appearance of th,- area. This matter was tabled in December 2001 until further information became available which was corne~.markers indicated on the property. No survey was submitted; however notes and pictures are included in the packet. Commissioner Jones indicated he was at the site and believes the line of trees is on City property including the mailbox and would like to have a survey provided. Parks Director Fackler indicated he located a corner maker on the property and the mailbox is in the corner right-of-way. City Council Representative Hanus questioned the differences between the pictures in the packet and the survey listed in the packet. Parks Director Fackler explained the survey has hand-drawn items and there were not added to after the survey was completed. Staff walked the property and believes the evergreens are clearly 6-7 feet within the Resthaven Right-of-way. - 1225- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 2I, 2001 Commissioner Ahrens also viewed the site. Thought there was no way of telling the location of the trees. Staff is certain the trees on the right-of-way. City Council Representative Hanus questioned the applicant what kind of trees they are. The Applicant did not know because there were planted by the builder. The Applicant measured by use of flashlights and stated the first 2 trees are about a foot into City property. The third three is only six inches into City property. The two last trees are closest to the water and are 4-5 feet into the City Property. Doesn't feel that the first trees are that far off. But doesn't want to move the three trees. Parks Director Fackler stated the main issue is how far are the trees on City property. This is still the problem. This issue was brought up to 'the builder at the time the home was built. The builder failed to address this issue and went forward with the sale of this property. Applicant noted the City was aware of this problem before they actually bought, the property. This should have been addressed before they purchased the property. They are very concerned with removing or changing the retaining wall due to water drainage issues. They clean the area constantly and would like everything to stay as is. City Council Representative Hanus questioned what is the impact or the affect to the public access. The curb cut is not wider than the existing improved section of driveway coming in. Does not think the wall affects the access for the public. Vice-Chair Eurich believes this does affect the public for backing up with trailers, etc. He himself has landed boats at this area and it is very difficult. Sees this as an issue to the public. Commissioner Ahrens believes this is suitable for landing small fishing boats. - 1226- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21, 2001 Applicant stated there are very good size boats that use this landing and would like to see the curb cut widened because residents are avoiding the far side of the road due to a dip in the side of the property. Parks Director Fackler stated there are five unimproved launches in the City. This one is an unimproved boat launch. This is a neighborhood landing. Repairs have been done as needed. This was never intended to be a major access. This access is in excess of 40 wide and vehicles can park on both sides of the. landing. Vice-Chair Eurich stated all the trees are encroaching onto the landing. There still is a problem with the retaining wall however repairs or not we still have a problem with the trees encroaching on the landing. James Powers stated they would be willing to move the two trees closest to lakeshore. The trees, as planted, are in line with the existing trees that are already on the landing. Commissioner Jones believes that applicant should provide a survey so that the Commission can acCurately decide where and whose property the trees are located. Vice-Chair Eurich believes the evergreens need to be moved off city property. Keep in mind there is parking on both sides of the landing; therefore this area needs to be kept open. Robert Goodfellow, 1730 Avocet Lane. I have used the landing and consider this a neighborhood landing. Phil Bowman on Finch Lane planted 11 trees on City property on purpose and no one did anything about it. Why would this be handled differently? This is an improvement to have these trees planted. Why is this issue any different than the Phil Bowman issue. Parks Director Fackler stated the retaining wall is an obstruction and makes it very difficult to plow. Staff requested the builder take care of this problem. The house was sold before anything was completed. Staff does not want to see time and expense spent on these types of items. Commissioner Jones reiterated the applicant needs to provide a survey so that the Commission can determine how far the trees are on City property. - 1227- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21, 2001 City Council Representative Hanus stated the Commission does have an option to move this forward to the City Council with a condition for the applicant to submit the information requested. CommiSsioner Ahrens suggested a compromise of the applicant to move the two trees closest to the lake. Debra Powers, Applicant stated they purchased the house the way it stands. Doesn't believe they should have to pay for anything because the City was aware of this problem. Park Commissioner Fackler stated the first time the City was aware of this issue was the end of May 2001 and July 27, 2001, the applicant closed on the house. MOTION by Ahrens second by Hanus, the Docks and Commons Commission recommends approval of the request for a Public Lands Permit provided that the applicants move the two pine trees that are closest to the lake and relocate them onto their own property. Commissioner Ahrens stated this is a compromise with the applicants. City Council Representative Hanus questioned what would happen if no action were taken on this matter in either direction. Accept these trees as City property and only take them down if they become a problem. Staff believes there would be better types of trees than the ones planted and the trees would provide better service elsewhere on the property. It would be easier to move the trees at this time than later as the trees grow. Applicant would like the commission to be reasonable. Some of the trees are much closer to the property line than others. This will not affect the parking. Commissioner Jones reiterated that he still would like to see a survey so that the Commission can make the decision based on the facts of where the property line is in connection to the planting of the trees. - 1228- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21, 2001 Ayes: Ahrens, Hanus Nays: Eurich, Jones MOTION not carried MOTION by Ahrens second by Jones to forward this Public Lands Permit Application with no recommendation by reason of the Commission will not come to a consensus. MOTION carried unanimously. 4__. REVIEW: BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON FLOW CHART/PROCEDURE MANUAL. Commissioner Ahrens recommends tabling of this item until we have a full Commission in March. Commissioner Goldberg should be present. This will be added to the March 2002 meeting. 5. REVIEW: DOCK/SLIP PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES Staff explained the 2002 amount that has been approved by the City Council. This shows the new docks fees as approved by the City Council. The 2001 numbers are not'actual they are the approved amount for 2001. 2000 are actual numbers. Commissioner Ahrens requested from staff to have this updated for the March meeting or as soon as the final numbers are available. Requested to have the FinanCe Director provide a report/breakdown for the 2001 $97,928 number and how that was derived. Staff requested to change the "Multiple Dock License" column to be "Dock License" column. 6. REVIEW: MARCH 2002 AGENDA CALENDAR ADD' Review background information on Flow Chart Procedure Manual.

Motion by Funk second by Goldberg to approve handout agenda as revised. MOTION carried unanimously. 3. INTERVIEW DOCK AND COMMONS ADVISORY COMMISSION CANDIDATES Chair Jim Funk and Commission Greg Eurich terms expire the end of the year. Each has submitted the appropriate application. Michael McGreeney and Corey Huson have submitted the appropriate applications. Only the incumbents are in attendance and have chosen not to interview. MOTION by Goldberg second by Ahrens to recommend to the Mound City Council approval of Chair Funk and Commissioner Eurich for another term to the Docks and Open Space Commission. Discussion: the Commissioners agreed all the applicants seemed well qualified. However it is not the preference of the Commission to have like members. To be a Commissioner requires many hours of time and much effort. Corey Huson does not qualify, as he is not in the Docks Program. MOTION carried unanimously. Mark Goldberg stepped down at 9:30 p.m. 4. DISCUSS: PROPOSED SLIP USAGE REQUIREMENTS In previous years the City of Mound has seen a steady increase in requests from residents for municipal dockage for their boats. Currently there are ninety individuals on the 2001 Dock Waiting List. This list in 1999 was in the twenties and in 2000 grew into the forties. A question has been raised by those on the Waiting List along with the Dock and Commons Advisory Commission (DCAC) and city staff as to why there are slips on city docks sitting vacant of a boat throughout the boating season. In an attempt to see that the Municipal Slips are utilized to their fullest extend in 2002 the DCAC has recommended a change to the Mound City Code Section #437 Dock License. The Commission requested staff to investigate usage. This change has been mailed to all multiple slip holders as a proposed draft. - 1232- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 Some residents stated they did not receive a copy of ordinance; however they did receive the letter indicated the meeting. Fackler then briefly explained the proposed changes in the Ordinance. Chair Funk then opened the public meeting. Questions, comments and concerns were directed to the Commissioners and staff. Pamela Janish, 1591 Eagle Lane, Woodland Point. The multiple slips are more visible. Why is there a difference between multiple slip dock holders and abutting dock holders. Commissioner Goldberg stated he is in favor of limiting this ordinance to the multiples at this time. Chair Funk agreed. Eisa Watson, 4610 tuxedo Blvd. Very against the idea of separating multiples and other dock usage. Knows of people who have not used their docks for numerous years. Dave Gorman, 2440 Chateau Lane, Carlson Park. How many non-users in the multiple areas as compared to the others? Fackler stated this is just a starting point. Gorman asked if there are any plans to dredge at Carlson Park. Fackler stated that in depends on the weather and water'height. Also this area might be handled by the Storm Water Management Plan. ~ Mary Ellen Storlein, 1595 Dove Lane in Three Points. She was assigned a dock on the south end of Bluebird Lane and trailers her boat most of the time. Her boat is in the lake on the weekends. During the week it is in her garage due to algae, etc. Chair Funk stated the Commission is not trying to take away any ones dock. City Council Representative Hanus stated the Commission needs to define "usage". The intention is that the site gets used. Stipulations are in the Ordinance for most of the conditions mentioned. Fackler indicated most of these conditions are addressed in the Ordinance. Basically staff needs to be notified. Kelly Anderson 1733 Gull Lane. Does not want to micromanage her summer in regards to having to notify the city of her plans. Fackler stated this is a simple telephone call to staff for notification of a vacant slip for an extended period of time. It is less costly to the taxpayers if staff is notified instead of requiring staff to locate and contact owners. Staff indicated that all individual circumstances cannot be recognized in an · ordinance. This is a learning process and we should concentrate on the intent of the ordinance. Staff does not have the budget to do investigations. Pam Janish, 1591 Eagle Lane, Woodland Point. Does not want to notify the city each and every time she leaves her dock. - 1233- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 Hanus explained that these slips will be checked more than once and other indications will be examined as to whether or not a slip is being used. Commissioner Jones stated staff will be flexible and reasonable with residents. The Commission cannot write into an ordinance every possible situation that might arise. All other communities that have city owned docks have a similar program like this ordinance. This is reasonable and flexible; especially compared to other communities. The city has spent a considerable amount of money on these docks and would like to see.them used. Chair Funk agrees. This program will be run with a number of different observations to determine if a dock is being used or not. Darlene Duchbjork, 2189 Fairview Lane. Waited two years for a dock slip. Then had to wait to get a better location. Has had a boat in her slip on and off. When there is a lot of rain she pulls her boat out. Feels shut into a corner having to notify the city as to why her boat is not at her dock. Last year her boat was not in the water at ali. Just because the population is growing is no reason for this policing. Hanus stated the waiting list now is approximatel¢ 10 years for a slip. Elsa Watson, 4610 Tuxedo Blvd. Other communities have a waiting list for docks. Some for more than 15 years. Believes if a boat is not registered to the dock then that resident should not be issued a slip. Mike Chitko, 3301 Warner Lane, Whipple Shores. Has a successful multiple slip situation. Will the resident be able to review the criteria as to any changes that are made? Staff would like to have this into place by the 2002 application process. This is scheduled to go to the City Council November 27, 2001. Staff indicated this needs to be decided tonight. Hanus explained that there is also an appeal process. If notice is received by a resident, the situation can be appealed. Mike Chitko, 3301 Warner Lane. Agrees with filling empty slips. This program is not a right but a privilege. If communication has to be made with the city, that seems fair. Public Meeting closed at 8:20 p.m. Chair Funk thanked the public for comments and concerns. Funk explained this Ordinance cannot cover every scenario. Staff can judge and administer this Ordinance reasonably. - 1234- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 Fackler indicated to the Commission that as this plays out through the summer season, the Commission can revisit this Ordinance the end of September and/or October. This could be an annual item on the agenda for review. Staff is not expecting to many appeals. All appeals will be reviewed by the Dock Commission. There was not opposition to the dates in this Ordinance. MOTION by Ahrens second by Eurich to recommend to the Mound City Council approval of proposed Ordinance Section 437 Dock License. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council November 27 at 7:30 p.m. for approval for 2002. Hanus stepped down at 8:30 p.m. 5. REVIEW: PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT The applicant is John Anderson, the location is 17,33 Gull Lane. Staff distributed digital pictures to the commission. The applicant is requesting a Public Lands Permit in order to commence grading activities within the Gull Lane right-of-way and Wiota Commons so that drainage in and around the lower level garage area can be appropriately diverted away from the existing home. The applicant has indicated that the property is subject to flooding problems due to improper drainage. The project includes the removal of the existing asphalt and curb within the Gull Lane right-of-way and re-grading activities in and around the Wiota Commons area in order to improve drainage. As it appears that some of the runoff is being generated from Gull Lane, the Public Works Department is offering assistance by removing the asphalt and curb in the proposed project area. Following grading activities, the right-of-way area and Wiota Commons areas will be properly restored including the installation of sod and/or landscaping elements. The property is recognized as having a special permit to allow the private structure (retaining wall) in the right-of-way. There are three (3) mature Oak trees located in and around the proposed project area. The condition of the trees should be evaluated by a qualified professional prior to the commencement of any grading activities so as to determine the health and condition of the trees as well as evaluate whether or not the trees can withstand the proposed construction activities. Additionally, a tree preservation plan should bed submitted. - 1235- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 City Code Chapter 350 regulates shoreland management in the City of Mound. Specifically, topographic alterations and grading and filling activities are regulated by City Code Chapter 350:1225 Subd. 4 (B.) The project does not involve the construction or installation of any permanent structure in either the Gull Lane right-of-way or Wiota Commons areas. Staff recommends approval of the Public Lands Permit to undertake grading activities so that proper drainage can be accommodated. Staff recommends that the following be conditions of approval. :=> The' applicants shall be responsible for all activities associated with the project with the exception of the asphalt and curb removal. A tree condition report and preservation plan prepared by a qualified professional submitted to the City prior to the approval of the Grading Permit. The permit is made subject to all suggested conditions from staff. Ahrens questioned if this is a city issue or a private issue. Fackler explained the road was in place prior to the road improvement. ~he wall is in the street right- of-way. The city is somewhat responsible. The new homeowner is looking at improving this area. Hanus arrived back at 8:35 p.m. Applicant Anderson stated they would like to speed up the process. The run off and water creates mold and they have spent considerable time and effort in cleaning, repainting, and sealing to rectify this problem. The applicant is willing to take on expenses to expedite this process. MOTION by Ahrens second by Funk to approve the 1733 Gull Lane Public Lands Permit Application as per staff recommendations and conditions. MOTION carried unanimously, This will be reviewed by the City Council on Tuesday December 11, 2001. b. James Powers, 1791 Resthaven Lane. Applicant present. The applicant is requesting an "after-the-fact" Public Lands Permit to allow a number of evergreen trees and retaining wall section to remain within Sunset Landing. Member of the Docks and Commons Commission are advised that is appears the landscaping elements were installed in the Sunset Landing right-of- - 1236- Mound Advisory Docks and Conunons Commission November 15, 2001 way in error by the builder, Superior Value Homes, when the new home at 1791 Resthaven Lane was constructed. Details regarding the proposed are contained in the application and survey that have been submitted. The applicant has expressed desire for the landscaping elements to remain in the public right-of-way so as to minimize overflow and runoff from the street and driveway areas as well as to buffer the public landing area from the new residential home. Staff recommends denial of the Public Lands Permit request from applicant to allow continued placement of the evergreen and retaining wall in the Sunset Landing right-of-way due to the following: As the evergreen trees continue to grow, they will encroach further into the Sunset Landing area thereby impacting access and parking. ~ It appears that the improvements that were installed can be easily relocated on to the applicant's property. There appears to be no public benefit of allowing the landscaping encroachments to continue on the City's property. Staff believes that the tree line help to provide a separation between Sunset Landing and the subject property and also enhances the visual appearance of the area. Hanus is concerned in regards to the property lines. Staff indicated the builder was asked to identify the property markers. The Planning Department issued a certificate of occupancy and the issue was dropped. Residents have complained that the trees are encroaching on the parking area. Plowing is an issue with staff because this area needs to be kept obstruction free and the blades will catch on the trees and the trees restrict the entrance. Commissioner Eurich stated the retaining wall and trees were installed after the certificate of occupancy. Applicant stated there is room to relocate the trees closer to the house; but would be difficult. There is a very Iow use of traffic on this site. (Eurich disagrees 6-8 trailers during the summer months). The applicant is happy with the privacy the trees provide. Staff recommends the homeowner provides a survey and flag all markers. The commission agrees that the property stakes need to be located before a decision can be made. Applicant will provide location of property stakes. MOTION by Funk second by jOnes to table item until the applicant produces location of the property irons. Staff directed to include item on agenda after locations are confirmed. - 1237- Mound Advisory Docks and Commons Commission November 15, 2001 MOTION carried unanimously. 6, REVIEW FLOW CHART/PROCEDURE MANUAL Item #6 Sarah Smith cannot attend meeting. This item tabled until December 2001 meeting. 7. DISCUSS: 2002 DOCK LOCATION MAP CHANGES The following changes were approved: · #54 changed from abutting to non-abutting. · 10250 was changed to an abutting site last year. · Page 77, Devon Multiple Site 42800G 18X8 small craft slip.

MOTION by Funk second by Jones to adjourn meeting at 10:15 p.m. - 1239- Mound. MN STAFF REPORT I'o: MOM: DATE: SUBJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: SUBJECT: MOund Council, Docks and CommonS Commission and Staff Sarah Smith, Community Development Director November 7, 2001 Public Lands Permit Application- 1791 Kesthaven Lane James Powers Sunset Landing - Public Access' to HarriSon's Bay Kequest to Allow Continued Placement of Landscaping Elements in Sunset Landing Right-Of-Way REQUEST. The applicant, James Powers, is requesting an "after-the-fact" Public Lands Permit to allow a number of evergreen trees and retaining wall section to remain within Sunset L~ding. Members of the Docks and Commons Commission are advised 'that it appears the landScaping elements were installed in the Sunset Landing right-of-way in error by the builder, Superior Value Homes, when the new home at 1791 Resthaven Lane was constructed. D~s regarding the proposal are contained in the apPlication and survey which have been included as EXhibit A and Exhibit B respectively, The applicant has expressed his desire for the landscaPing elements to remain in the public right-of-way so as to minimize overflow and runoff from the street and driveway areas as well as to buffer, the public landing area from' the new residential home. ExisTING CONDITION Sunset Landing is an unimproved right-of-way which provides public access to Harrison's Bay. It also includes 'space for vehicle and boat/trailer parking. PROJECT HISTORY Th~ City'of Mound approved lot size and street frontage variances on October 12, t999 to create a buildable parcel at 1791 Kesthaven Lane. The variance(s) also recognized that a portion of Sunset Landing would be used as a driveway access for the new parcel. 2. Building Permit # 13606 was issued to Superior Value Homes on June 12, 2000 for construction of a new single,family dwelling at 1791 Resthaven Lane'. - 1240- The Certificate of Occupancy for the new home was approved on March 28, 2001. The City Building Official notified Superior Value Homes on May 17, 2001 that there were a number of encroachmems within Sunset Landing which were not included as part of the building permit and would therefore need to be removed.. Alternately, a Public Lands Permit would need to be aPproved by the City Council. 5. A letter fi.om Bob Piepe~-'of Superior Value Homes was received by the City of Mound on or around July 18, 2001 regarding the tree installation and landscaping elements. 6. It is City staff's understanding that the subject proPerty located at 1791 KesthaVen Lane was sold a month or so ago to James Powers. The Public Lands Permit' Application was received from Mr.' poWers on October 24, 2001 requesting City approval to allow the continued placement of the landscaping elements within Sunset Landing. CITY CODE 320 - PRIVATE STRUCTURES AND PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON PUBLIC LAND City Code 320101 re,fates private siruCtUres and private conStruction activities on public .land in the CitY of Mb~d. Specifically, Subd. 2 regulates the installation of retaining walls. CITY DEPAR~NT REVIEw Copies of the request and all supporting materials were forwarded to all applicable City departments for renew and comenti' The Public Works Superintendent aridparks Director have indicated that' the tree(s) and retaining wall should be relocated on to the applicants prOPerty.' .ad)DITIONAL COMMENT The landscaping improvements were not included as part of the City's approval of the new home construction project and were not referenced on the survey dated May 18, 2000 which was received by the City of MoUnd on or around julyS, 2000. srrE 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. 2 - 1241 - RECOM1VEENDATION City staff recommends denial of the Public Lands Permit request from James Powers tO alloTM continued placement of the evergreen and retaining wall in the Sunset Landing right-of-wa~ .due to the following issues: 1. As the evergreen trees continue to grow, they will encroach further into the Sunset Landing area thereby impacting access and parking. 2. It appears that the improvements that were installed can be easily relocated on to the applicant's Pi°Perty. There appears to be no public benefit of allowing the landscaping encroa:chments to continue on the City's property. Staff, however, is in agreement that the tree line helps to provide a separation between' Sunset Landing and the subject property and also enhances the visual appearance of the area. CITY COUNCIl, REVIEW Tentatively, the Public Lands Permit Application will be forwarded to the City Council for review at its Tuesday, December 11,200t meeting in the event a recommendation from the Docks and Commons Commissions is made at its November 15, 2001 meeting.

PID# The City Plann~ ~t~d the case~ He stat~l .tl~ a variance is being requested is on the lot adjar.~nt to theWhere the aPPlicant lives, The applicant has owned this property for approximately 30 years. During that ~e the lot has remained undeveloped and the applicant would like this lot to be considered a buildable lot so they can sell it. The applicants requested a street frontage variance of 57 feet and the l°t area above the 931 OHW is just short of 7,000 square feet so it about a 3,000 square foot variance. There are no building plans for the property but Brenchell Homes would like to possibly buy the property and:build. Se City P~er stated ~e sit~ plan of the property shows a considerabie~!~op from ~e front of the hou~ to the street, The s~ ~ ~ 'ff the driveway would be feasible there is other issues that may come up outside ~what the me shows caution too. For instance, Sunset Landing is an access for summer and winter and cuh'ently is a gravet road, although it~ does Provide a lot of room for vehicles, The City . Planner stated this driveway would have to ~ss through the corner of the lot and problems may occur with emergency vehicles, :wet weather regarding gravel, and in the winter, who would be reSponSible for :plo~g sunmt Landing, The City PLanner stated the pad does conform to all types of setback but we d° not have building plans which would show more detail. ~ stated because of unknowns regarding this property,, staff and the planaing commission are recommending denial of this variance. Couneilmember Brown-stated the developer would surface a driveway at the Sunset Landing for emergenCy VehiCle and..other vehicles~: He stated that the driveway, where it is being proposed ~0t~ld be f~bl~ ~rding to code~ ':' C°un¢ilmember Br0~~t~ if a n~:' builder would come in and want to build on this property, he would have to build on the footprint and meet all setbacks according to City code. MayOr Meisel and the Acting City Manager expressed concern over who maintain Sunset Landing with it ~y'surfaced and the other. P~ not~ ~e City plann~ stated a possible Way wouid':~ :W .ha/ve~e o~er be responsible for maintaining i~, flthough ~th it Councilmember Hanus stated this pIan is not ideal on an ~proved ~ but there are' things that can be done to alleviate those problems. He stated with the driveway coming off 713 - 1261 - of Sunset landing, it could be ~ved sli~tl~ beyond the dri, te~ea~ so it looks ~ it continues and then have it squared off to Sunset Landing. lVtr. Babler stated he has been using Sunset Landing as a driveway for 25 years and ~ not had a problem in the past, He stated he does not want to..have a shared driveway with the. other tot. He also stated the~ is a footprint, by the developer stating whoever buys tltis property needs to stick to the footprint or.he cannot build a house. Mr. Babler stated he would like to sell the property for retirement purposes. Dale Pixler with Remax stated the property has had assessments for sewer and water and street improvements have been made. lcle stated the 931 law is a good law, but to not allow building on this property for that reason when he has not had any water problems the past 30 years, is a waste of the property. Mr. Pixler stated the Sunzt Landing used as a driveway is not a problem as it exists. Currently the City does allow access for a driveway on a landin'~n:_.~vo other locations within the City. Mr. Pixler stated the footta'int itself was reviewed by the Building Inspector to have it meet codes by the City of Mound. The Building Inspector and Mr. Pixler came up with an envelope according to the City Cedes and if someone wants to build on this piece of property, they need to stick to the envelope. Councilmember Hanus asked if Mr. Pixler can create a building envelope that stays outside of the 931.5 and still meets all of the' setbacks. Mr. Pixler stated this is possible. Councilmember Hanus also asked if this envelope can be at or less 40 percent hardcover of the area above the 929.4. Mr. Pixler stated this is possible. Councilmember I-Ianus asked a question if a variance is needed to access off of an unimproved street. Staff stated a variance would not be required. Councilmember I-Ianus directed staff to add in the Resolution a specific design improvement for the driveway so it would reduce the amount of erosion and give the driveway a squared off appearance that would benefit the new owners. C°uncilmember' Hanus stated for the record he is not intentionally ignoring the Planning Commission's recommendation. What happened tonight is just a little ~tweaking' from what thc Planning Commission was suggesting. _ MOTION by Brown, seconded by Hanus, to prepare a Resolution of approval and then have it brought back to the City Council meeting of October 12, 1999, for the Consent Agenda. Mr. Pixler stated to keep the envelope as stated in the Councilmembers' packet, lie stated if a builder wants to come in and build within your area then they will have to go through the Mirmehaha watershed for approval, and the Minnehaha watershed will approve it as long as 714 - 1262- the builder does cermln things for them.'

PID# 13-117-24 14 0017. Gordon presented the case. The applicants requested a variance to lot area and width to receive status as a buildable tot for this lot of record. The variances are as follows: Existing/Proposed Reouired Variance Street Frontage 57 feet 60 feet 3 feet. Lot Area 6,927 sq. feet i' 10,000 sq. feet 3,072 sq. feet The property is described as Lot 1, Block 13 of Shad.ywood Point. As platted the Lot has over 10,000 square feet but only 6,927 square feet are above the Ordinary High Water line of 929.4 feet used for determined lot area. Street frontage along Resthaven Lane is just short of the 60 feet requirement at 57 feet. Sunset landing is dedicated public land used as an access point to Harrison's Bay. It is unimproved with a gravel. surface. The applicants reside in. the home on Lot 2 and have owned and held both lots as individual tax parcels since the 1970's. Their intent is to sell both properUes as buildable parcels although there are no building plans for Lot 1 at this time, The owners are entering this process purely on a speculative means ~ secure the status of Lot 1 as a buildable lot. Because both lots are held by the same owner, the potential exists for a combination that would secure its status as a conforming lot. There Mound Plannina Commission Minutes - Seotember 13. 1999 are no guarantees however, that the owner COuld bUild a spec home on the property. It seems very prematu.m-, te grant, a,,va~iance~en a lot whose,future, is uncertain of the need for variances.

Staff recommends the Planning CommiSsion recommend COunCil deny the variance as requested beCauSe'it is sb premature, ¥oss asked if these are sUbstandard lots and GordOn stated they are substandard lots. Brown stated the only acCess landing is at the Surf Side and the Sunset Landing is only used in the winter. Voss asked if there was precedent granting a case i'ike this WithOUt a building permit request. Sutherland commented on three somewhat similar cases. He cited the Steve Coden case on Bluebird, the Zilla/TOm. Stokes' case on Glen Elyn and the Bob Steele case on Driftwood Lane. All three ca~es noted were eventuallY apPr°ved. Brown stated these are two lots of record and both cOuld be built on. Brown stated the Steele case is basically the same as this one, Sutherland stated he would not give a permit f°r a builder for the lot in the Steele case if it were a do-over. Brown asked' how we can deny this case because all the neighbors have been allowed to build with very similar circumstances. Voss stated staff would deny this case because of: the substandard size. Gordon stated his concern of granting a variance when there is no plan in sight. stated the City should 'wait until there is a plan a~d some building will take place before granting a variance as the apPliCant' is requesting. He¸ Sutherland stated he agrees with Gordon. Sutherland is certain there is a legal right by the City' to deny this request. He stated there are three Previous .cases that are similar, but th~fe is still' the opportunity for the City to deny if' they deem so, He stated that we could allow the applicant to'put the house on the'prOpertY as soon. 'as we address the plans, but not before. As precedent indicates, when the case proceeds tO' the Council, it will probably get passed~ but why not wait until it has proceeded that far. : ~ ,Mound Planning Commission Minutes -SeDtember 13, ~1999 Brown addressed the applicant to come forward. David Babler stated he does not understand why they cannot build because'he has always thought it was a buildable yet vacated lot. Voss asked why there was no building plan. Evidently the applicant is going to sell the property to Mr. Stokes of French Hill Homes. Tom Stokes of French Hill Homes stated he handled the Zilla case. in this case Stokes stated that the Planning Commission did request and recommend, approval in the Zilla case. Mr. Stokes indicated he did have a customer at that time for the house and the house was going to fit exactly in the footprint made. Chair Michael stated that,he does not understand why the Planning Commission would have passed the Zilla case. Chair Michael stated that there was possibly false information given to the Planning Commission which allowed them to approve the Zilla case. Glister stated she recalls the plan getting passed because the structure was going to fit perfectly in the footprint. Gale Pixler stated the property in question was sold to him. Mr. Pixler stated this is a 10,O00 square foot lot but with the hardcover it basically is only a 7,000 square foot lot. Mr. Pixler stated he.had abided by the setback requirements and the footprint he wants to use is doable, Mr. Pixler stated that he will follow the rules of Mound and will have it noted that building can only occur on the footprint. The driveway in this site has been discuSsed and Mr. Pixler is presenting a roadway of some sort. He understands there is not going to be a variance request. Mr. Pixler questioned why a gravel road would not be suitable on this property and for emergency vehicle access. Chair Michael stated that the fresh rock that gets kicked up from the emergency vehicles may cause problems with the sewer system. Sutherland stated, there is a code for street frontage and to take the driveway out would not have any concern with access on an unimProved street. Chair Michael suggested that there be a motion to extend the meeting beyond 11:00 p.m. tonight. MOTION by Brown, seconded by Weiland, to extend the Planning Commission meeting until 1 1:15 p.m. MOTION CARRIED: 7-0. Brown asked why we can, as a City, state that even though this is a 10,000 -1266- Mound Plannino Commission MinUteS seotember, t,3. 1999 square Iot~ only 7,000 of it is fOr platting purposes. Gordon stated because of the adoption of Shoreline Management and flood plain this is the guideline for using only certain amount of square footage for the plat. ' Brown stated also that even though the applicant has been paying taxes and sewer and water on this property, only a certain portion .is considered for Platting. Sutherland stated the lot was platted and .the new ordinance took things away. The same regUlations-WoU.id have Platted it under the area of 931 feet. It does have some rights, but the City has the right to zone and this supercedes the property rights that are applicable, Sutherland stated the Becker case in support of his statement. Gordon stated the courts are more supportive of City's rights. Gordon stated there was a court decision for a case in Plymouth that a:n ordinance supports the upholding of the lot size or lot area requirement and the City won. Gordon stated there is reason not to grant this variance. Voss stated that if we grant this variance, the City still remains in control of the situation because of decisions to be made in the future bY the builder. SutheHand stated that if the City· suPPorts the variance then the hOuse would be required to be built in all conforming ways. MOTION BY Voss, seconded ~ by Brown to approve the variance request. MOTION DENIED: 3-4 (Brown, Voss, Hasse - aye and Burma, Glister, Michael, Weiland - nay). MOTION BY Glister, seconded bY Michael to deny the variance aCcording to staff recommendations.

Sunset Landing is an unimproved street used as a boat landing in the summer and for vehicular' access to the ice of Lake Minnetonka in the wimer. The survey submitted w/th the application has only one elevation shown in Resthaven Lane, none for Sunset Landing, and only the three contours on the lot. With this limited information, it is very difficUlt to determine if a driveway is workable from Resthaven Lane because of the steep grade. The street plans from the cons'auction of Resthaven Lane indicate it would be almost impossible to construct a driveway directly from Resthaven Lane to the north end of the proposed house footprint if the garage were set at the minimum elevation. With the incomplete grading information as provided by the applicant, we cannot make a recommendation for the variance to allow a driveway to the unimproved street, Sunset Landing. cc: Loren Gordon, Hoisington Koegler Group s:\main:\8902~ uthcrlandg-7 15050 23rd Avenue North · Plymouth, Minnesota · 55447 phone 612,/476-6010 · fax 612/476-8532 e-maiL' mfra@mfra, com _1270_ - CITY OF MOUND MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364-16~7 .................... ,(612) 472-0600 FAX (612) 472-0620 MEM.0RAND~_M DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: June 21,2001 Dock and Commons Commission and Staff Jon Sutherland, Building Official IMPACTS OF CITY CODE SECTION 320 ON PROCEDURE· MANUAL AND FLOW CHART AttaChed please find related portions of the Procedure Manual that I have marked up with comments.

Nybeck, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR March 1, 2002 · Ms. Kandis Hanson City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Dear Kandis: In September 2000, the LMCD with the help of some of the mayors from the LMCD member cities proposed adding two additional full-time Deputies for the 2001-2002 summer boating seasons on Lake Minnetonka, to be partially funded by the 14 cities for a two-year period. As a city that authorized a two-year voluntary payment for the project, we want to thank you for your support, report what happened, and ask for your reduced payment in 2002. Note on the attached spreadsheet, the amount we are asking the City of Mound is over 75% less than what you agreed to and budgeted for 2002. Three key points were identified that justified the need for increased presence: 1) a cultural change, less courtesy by boaters. 2) significantly reduced availability of on the water patrol time due to the increased complexity of processing violators, particularly BWI. 3) the need to prepare for the Special Deputy litigation that was being reviewed by the Minnesota Supreme Court that may cause more need for the licensed deputy's functions. From mid-May to mid-October, two additional full-time Deputies were assigned to Lake Minnetonka. Feedback received on the project included: · Lt. Brian Johnson of the Water Patrol has reported the program as being a big success. · Lt. Brian Johnson has reported that their presence contributed to a safer and better 2001 boating season. · There were no fatalities on Lake Uinnetonka in 2001. · There was a reduction of personal injury accidents by more than 50%. · There was an increase in public contact, but a lower citation count. · The LMCD received anecdotal feedback that the higher water patrol presence resulted in more courtesy by boaters and an increase in the quality of the lake experience, The project was originally estimated at $100,000 per season with a financial breakdown of: · 50% from Hennepin County · 30% from the LMCD Member Cities · 20% from the LMCD "Save the Lake" Fund. Voluntary payments of $24,000 were received from 13 of the 14 LMCD member cities for 2001. Although the City of Uinnetonka philosophically agreed with the project, they decided not to financially contribute to it because they had concems with the LMCD funding formula. The funding formula has been addressed and the LMCD will be asking the City of Uinnetonka for a voluntary contribution in 2002. The good news is that the total cost for the project in 2001 was $52,290, which was substantially below the budgeted figure of $100,000. The budget was partially based on needing significant overtime. In addition to Web Page Address: http://www.lmcd.org E-mail Address: Imcd@lmcd.org - 1277- LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT other savings, it worked out that significant overtime wasn't required. Breakdown of the project costs were as follows: · Hennepin County Sharo (50%)- $26,145 · LMCD Member Cities Share ((24%)- $12,551 (excludes Cityof Uinnetonka) · LMCD "Save the Lake" Fund Share (26%)- $13,594 (includes City of Minnetonka which was made up by a special contribution to STL) The attached spreadsheet provides an overview of last year's voluntary contributions received from the 14 member cities showing a $30,000 budgeted share, the $24,000 actual payment, the $12,551 actual used, and the $11,449 overpayment. The estimate project cost for 2002 is $60,000, and the LMCD proposes the same funding formula as in 2001: · Hennepin County(50%) $30,000 · LMCD Member Cities (30%) $18,000 · LMCD Save the Lake Fund (20%) $12,000 The LMCD recommends that for 2002 the 13 contributing member cities direct their 2001 overpayment ($11,449) to be used against the costs for 2002 plus making a smaller additional payment of $6,551 for 2002 ($18,000 - $11,449 = $6,551). Therefore, the cities payments from their 2002 budget will be more than 75% less than their payments 2001. One of the agreed upon goals of this project was that the funding formula which called for 30% contribution from the cities would be a temporary, two-year project, and that all efforts would be made to have funding come 100% from Hennepin County by 2003. We are working towards this goal. The events of Sept. 11 and the potential budget shortfalls may complicate this goal. You will be updated on the future status of this project. We thank you for helping to make this program successful thus far, and welcome your comments. Please feel free to call me (952) 544-1100 or Greg Nybeck at the LMCD office if you have any questions.

LMCD AND DOCK PROGRAM MATTERS Burt Foster of the LMCD, outlined the proposal to increase Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnet°nka for the 2001 boating season. This proposal is for two full-time Deputies for five months, with a two-year commitment. Cost for the proposal is $100,000 per year, with Hennepin County contributing 50%, LMCD Member Cities 30%, and LMCD "Save the Lake" fund 20%. Mound's portion as a member city would be $2297. Gabriel Jabbour addressed the Council, expressing his support of this proposal. Hanus stated that it would be foolish to support a program where private funds have already been dedicated. MOTION by Meyer, seconded by Brown to adopt a resolution supporting the proposal as presented by the LMCD, along with approve of the $2297 expenditure. Hanus expressed concern about where the funds will come from, along with his feeling that adding volunteers, rather than paid officers, will increase the Patrol's visibility on the lake. Mr. Foster indicated that if the City gives commitment for $4600 over 2 years, the details of working out the funding (budget-wise) could be worked out at a later date. Meyer stated that he wOuld amend his motion to that affect and Brown rescinded his second to the motion. MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Meisel that the City Council support the LCMD's program and desire to increase visibility of the Water Patrol on the lake, to better the experience on the lake, providing that the funding is provided by it's traditional and lawful, normal sources for which that enforcement is normally provided. Ayes: Hanus, Meisel, Anderson and Meyer. Nayes: Brown. Motion carried. MOTION by Meyer, seconded by Anderson that the City of Mound support the LMCD with complete funding for the two year project, with details for payment to be worked out at a later date.

Nybeck October 27, 2000' · Update on Special Deputy Litigation: In previous Newsletters, we have informed you that there have been a number of challenges to the authority of Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol Special Dffputies on Lake Minnetonka. Just to remind you, the District has been succesSful on all of these challenges with the exception of one, where the District Court ruled in favor of the defendant: The DiStdct appealed the decision of the Distdct Court to the Minnesota Appellate Court in the fall of 1999, which resulted in the Appellate Court upholding the decision of the Distdct Court. The Distdct petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court earlier this year to further review the case. The Minnesota Supreme Court agreed to the petition by the District and oral arguments were heard on 5/30/00. Recently, the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed the ruling of the lower courts and upheld the authority of SpeCial Deputies to make arrest for boating infractions on Lake Minnetonka. Further details of the Minnesota Supreme Court ruling are available a.t the District office. .. creased Water Patrol presence for 2001 Boatinq Season: Previous communications have been forwarded to LMCD Member Cities regarding a proposal to increase Henqepin County Sheriffs Water Patrol presence on Lake ', Minnetonka, for the 2001 boating.season, by two full-time Deputies for five months. A two-year commitment, at $100,000 per year, has been seeked for the proposal, with costs to be shared by Hennepin County (50%), LMCD Member Cities (30%), and the LMCD "Save the Lake" Fund (20%), To date, District staff has not received feedback from a number of LMCD Member Cities on whether they voluntarily would like to participate in this proposal for the 2001 boating season, Feel free to contact the District office if you .have questions or if yoTM would like to further discuss this proposal. EXotics Manaqement: The 2000 EWM harvesting season commenced on 6/12/00 and continued through 9/1/00. During the season, 895,75 acres of milfoil and other aquatic plants were harvested, which included 197.00 acres of second cuts in a number of bays. During the 2000 season, there were 358.25 harvester loads, which generated 202.75 truck loads. Consistent with past years, harvesting priorities during the season were based upon impediment to public boat navigation on the open water, with higher priority given to areas of the lake that were matted. In the fall of 1999, the District established an EWM Harvesting Program ImproVement Task Force to evaluate the program to investigate improvements fOr the 2000 season. The'firSt redommendation of this Task Force was the purchase of a new aquatic plant harvester. This harvester, which was dellVe¢~ to Lake Minnetonka on 7/14/00, greatly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the Program, other rec°~mendations of this Task Force, which were implemented during the 2000 season include 1) ~ud~hing thehaCvester~ in the water ear er, 2) operating five harvesters rather than fOUr, 3) operating these harvesters for a greater number of hours dUring what has been typically been the peak season, and 4) operating a skeleton harvesting crew from mid August through at least Labor Day. The District plans On reassern'bling this'Task FOrce this fall to fu~her review the 2000 season and to make recommendations on how to improve the program for the 2001 season.

We requested feedback from the LMCD member cities, by ~;/15/00, on two questions relating to this proposal, These were: 1) whether the member cities would support an increase of Water Patrol presence for the 2001 boating season, and 2) whether the member' ci(ies would be willing to share in some' of the cosb forit, _ OverwhelminglY, the member cities haVe indicated that they support an increase in Water Patrol presence of 1 Lake Minnetonka..Many cities indicated a willingness t0 Share some of the cost and two' CitieS' had some concerns regarding cost Shadng. The commentS re~ived from these two membe~ (~ities included: 1)Lake MinnetOnka is a regiona amenity andthat that increased presence of Watei' tSair01 ShOUld be funded at Hennepin Cour~ty level, and 2) there is a need to}prbvide justification for increased Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka. 50% Recycle(I Content 20% Post Consumer Waste A meeting was held at the 'Henriep'in Oounty sheriff*'s Water Patrol Headq~artem on Thursday, 8/24/0i~; to' disCuSs; the proposal', to review andaddress the feedback received from LMOD member citieS, ahd;'tb':fbrther define'the details of'the proposal.

Millan,and LMCD Executive Director' Gre.g Nybecl~ After significant discussiOn,.three key poin[s ~ere identified that justly the need for increased' Water presence. They~include: 1. A cultural change of boating aotMties on Lake Minnetonka. The boats are larger, are driven in a manner that make lar~;r w~;es, and are sometimes"ddven by peoPle Who do no know the rules of the road and c, ourteous operation. There ~ms to be an increase in aggressive opera,ion on some boats of a. II sizes with a disregard for. the law and their effect Web page'AddreSS: httP://wvwv,v~i'nternet.coml-irncd/ E-mail Address: Imcd@wintemet.com - 1 283- LAKE MINNE;TONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT on others. This cultural change has resulted in increased concerns by the public, including dpadan owners and watercraft operators. This has resulted in a reduced quality of tl~e experience of those that recreate on Lake Minneton'ka,' The group felt that this situation could be improved by increased Water Patrol presence by having increased patrol hours. 2. Significantly reduce patrol hours due to increased complexity of processing violators. A BWI arrest, that used to take a Deputy off patrol for an hour to process the offender, now can take four to six hours. The increased processing time results from laws created to pmte~t the dghts of the public and has affected cdminai.:investigations, Arrests on the water, which 'are more difficult than land, now take much more time, which results in fewer actual patrol hours. The end result is less visible presence of the Water Patrol on the Lake. 3. The need to prepare for the Special Deputy litigation currently at the Minnesota State Supreme Court. Historically, the Water Patrol has supplemented their full-time, licensed Deputies with 30 volunteer special deputies. These special deputies mar~ patrol boats, make stops, and issue tickets. They average approximately 250 hours of volunteer time per year; however, their authority to "investigate" has been challenged in court and is currently at the Minnesota Supreme Court, If the ruling, goes against the Water Patrol, there will be a serious reduCtion in Water Patrol-presence on the Lake. The group felt that the increase of two licensed paid Deputies would De at least some protection in the case of an adverse ruling.. In the case of a favorable ruling, the two new deputies would have the needed effect of increased patrol hours. he group decided to try to establish a two-year funding per year, commitment, for 00,000 to be U~ed, exclu~[~ely fo~' two additiOnal. Water Patrol Deputies to patrol Lake Minnetonka beginning in the 2001: boatifig season. None of these funds have been.voted upon, but the proposed breakdown is as follows~., · 50% from Hennepin County. · 30% from the LMCD Member Cities. · 20% from the LMCD "Save the Lake" Fund (Private contributions resulting from LMCD soiicitation letters). .The LMCb:'membe.:r cit es would need to bnd'the proposed $30,000 through voluntary contributions for 2001... ii~0r 20d2~ it. cou d be funded'either through Voluritary contributions or by adjusting the LMCO te~ to its member cities m accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 103B.635.

Notable changes have occurred in the area of charier boat licensing, specifically the increase to our maximum allowed number of full liquor licenses; and in area of increased size and scope of weekend anchoring at the north side of Big Island, including numerous, large, semi-organized events for which no LMCD Special Event permit was obtained. The Hennepin County Sheriffs Water Patrol Division was especially concerned about the lack of Public Safety access to tile Big Island area during these weekend tirneframes. While some action has been taken by the District to help achieve a better balance for alt users and uses, like adding marked navigation lanes to the Big Island area, there still are a number of concerns being discussed by agencies and the public at large. The current concerns all hays brought forward a common thread, the need for increased law enforcement presence on the Lake, particularly during the summer season. Those of us familiar with the current state of enforcement on the Lake can easily conclude that the current levels and types of enforcement provided by the Water Patrol are of high quality and are very cost effective, especially when recognizing the volunteer Special Deputy program. But, we can also see that increasing full- time enforcement levels by during the summer months would do a great deal to improve the consistency of enforcement and the quality of experience for all aspects of lake use. At the June 28th regular meeting of the LMCD Board of Directors, a presentation was made by Orono Mayor Gabriel Jabbour proposing the need to explore additional Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol presence on Lake Minnetonka. A suggested course of action was to increase the presence by two full time Deputies, for'five months, for the 2001 boating season. After significant discussion, the attached LMCD Resolution 99 was adopted by the LMCD at this meeting. Two objectives are established in LMCD Resolution 99. They include: 1) the LMCD believes that a supplemental law enforcement program, partially funded by the LMCD, the member cities, and the private sector is needed and would be beneficial to Lake Minnetonka, and 2) the LMCD would agree to be the lead agency.in this type of endeavor. Web Page Address: http://www.wintemet.com/-Imcd/ E-mail Address: lmcd@winternet.com - 1 286- LAKE MINNETON'KA CONSERVATION DISTRICT This proposal and resolution was carried forward to the Mayors meeting on June 30th, which included a wide range of local, regional and state representation. Representation included State Senator Gen Olson, State Representative Barb Sykora, Hennepin County Commissioner Penny Steele, a represeniative of He~nepin County Commissioner Mary Tambornino, and a number of Mayors from the Lake Minr~etonka communities. The general consensus of those present at this meeting believed the idea made good sense and that it should be considered for the 2001 boating season. It was also agreed that any increase in enforcement should be in addition to maintaining the .levels of funding and enforcement currently provided by the Water Patrol. In no way was any new program to shift the current levels and funding of enforcement from Hennepin County to the Cities. To keep the momentum moving forward on this proposal and to assist the cities with 200t bU'dget planning, the LMCD would like feedback from its member communities on it by Tuesday, August 15th. SpeCifically, we are looking for whether the member cities would support an increase of Water PatrOl presence on Lake Minnetonka for the 2001 boating season and whether they are willing to share in the costs for it. Possible funding mechanisms for the member cibes to consider include voluntary contributions or by adjusting the maximum the'LMOD dan levy to its member cities in Minnesota Statutes 103B.655 by adoption of a resolution of % of the m~mber cities (10 of 14 cities). It is. eStimated that the total costs for t~e. increased presence of the Water Patrol for the 200t boating season would be approximately $100,000. The share of the costs for each individual city would be determined using the existing LMCD levy formula. · If a majority Of cities were in supPort'this proposal, the L.,MCD would create and lead a task forCe 'to formulate and finalize the dStails of this ·program. It would be our intent to present the results of the task force tO ail the member cities for approval before requesting any specific funding amou'nts for 2001.

Although further details and clarification is needed from the LMCD before the Wayzata City Council can make a formal decision, the Council recognizes the need for additional water patrol staffing in response to the emerging public safety issue on Lake Minnetonka. The Wayzata Council is very concerned about the impact of the court's recent decision to limit the enforcement authority of the volunteer water patrol deputies. We all know from experience that for many people rules and regulations are only as good as the perceived level of enforcement. Thus, if enforcement efforts decrease while boat traffic continues to increase, the concern is that the public's safety on Lake Minnetonka will become more at risk. The Wayzata City Council understands that public safety on Lake Minnetonka is currently the primary responsibility of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol. We also feel that the financial impact from the increased traffic from boaters who Iive off of Lake Minnetonka should not be paid by au increased burden on the tax base of the cities surrounding Lake Minnetonka. However, we also realize the complexity of financing public safety services on Lake Minnetonkm Thus, the Wayzata City Council is willing, in the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, to consider a one-year financial contribution for two additional water patrol deputies as long as the County Board commits to alternative long-term financial solutions that will reduce the burden on the general Lake Minnetonka area tax base for future funding increases. One long-term suggestion to consider would be to foll(~w the policy at the Hennepin County parks where there is no fee for using the lake for swimming/fishing or using the wails, slides, swings, etc. but there is a fee to park your car. Similarly, LMCD member cities could require a Hennepin County park permit in order to park a boat trailer near a Lake Minnetonka public landing. U~ike County parks where County employees enforce the permit requirements, local police departments could be responsible for enforcing the permit requirements. The purpose of a City/County partnership would be to generate a Phone: 952-473-0234 Fax: 952-404-5318 - 1297- city~,wayzata.0rg home page: ww~v. wayzata.o £alr, reasonable and efficient source Ofre~,enUe that could be used by the County to offset the increased costs of additional water patrol oft~eers on Lake Mimaetonka.

I am still concerned that we axe being requested to help support additional officers on the Lake at a time when we have needs for additional personnel that we have not been able to fund within our depa~t~x~ent. I need not remind you that our tax payers already pay county, and city taxes for the services for which we are each responsible. Many years the county has increased taxes at a =ate of more than double the city increase and then has also "passed on" increases in our booking fees and jail fees. Our radio costs are going to dramatically increase in the next eighteen months due to the new 800MgH radio system to be implemented and I expect that with the new jail we could also see some significant increases. I have requested a report from Lt. Schilling, at Water Patrol, regarding the demographics of where their enforcement activity has been most concentrated. I have been advised that he has statistics for enforcement on the entire Lake but not by specific areas of the Lake. My belief is that the bulk of their activity is around Big Island, Fletchers, The Mist, and the larger marinas on the Lake. Lt. Schilling will be checking on providing the demographic with their headquarters and was advised that the information was needed by Tuesday. I want to emphasize that we have a great working relationship with the Sheriff's Office and nothing in this mimao should infer any discontent. The issue is limited dollarsl - 1299- October 27, 2000 Sheriff Patrick D. MeGowan Hennepin County Sheriff Room 6 Courthouse 350 South Fifth Street Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear SheriffMcGowan: The city council for the City of Mound recently reviewed your letter of September 25, 2000 at our council meeting and felt compelled to notify you of our displeasure with the decision to discontinue transport service at night. The decision will significantly impact the smaller communities in Hennepin County who may only have one officer working and depend on the transport service. The impact for the City of Mound is that police officers would be "unavailable" for an additional hour to an hour and a half per transport. According to police department records, there were approximately thirty transports downtown in the first nine months of this year. Figuring for an entire year, the additional cost to our community could average over $5,000 in lost officer time. This is a significant concern for our community! It seems incongruent that the opening of the new Public Safety Facility should be done at the expense of other services previously provided. We have all had to deal with challenging budget constraints and now well into our process are notified of shortfalls at the county exacerbating our own challenges within the city.

The police budget for 2001 .was appro~ely 4.5% under budget projections; saving $50,400.00. This was due in large measure to changes in perSOnnel and operating short-handed for much of the summer.

INTRODUCTION The mission of the Mound Police Department is to provide protection and service to the people of Mound. Many of the activities of the police department are described and summarized in this report for 2001. MOUND POLICE MISSION STATEMENT: The Mound Police Department, through teamwork and cooperation, will be responsive to our citizens' needs with a professional level of dedicated service. Officers will display the highest integrity, and regard each citizen with a focused and unbiased attitude. Our citizens will determine our success. Much of how a police department is evaluated is based on statistics, as found in this report. Information for these statistics comes from internal record-keeping and also from participation in the Minnesota Criminal Justice System (CJIS). In analyzing the crime statistics, several factors need to be considered: 2. 3. 4. 5. Population density Proximity to metropolitan area Population composition Population stability Number, sophistication, and development of police personnel The only area the police department has control in is the fifth category. The police department is consistently looking at ways to better utilize and train personnel to provide better service. This report is provided to highlight the most important area of police department activity and to be used as a gauge for evaluating service. The report includes some comparisons to past years and provides a tool for planning and activities in the years to come. - 1305- II. BUDGET ADMINISTRATION The 2001 police budget will close out under budget projections, 4.5%. The largest mount of the savings is in the area of employee salaries. The final expenditures for the police department will amount to approximately $1,075,382.00. The percentage of expenditures breaks out as follows: Personnel $878,723.00 81.7 Insurance 19,136.00 1.8 Training/Travel 9,973.00 .9 (includes P.O.S.T.) Fuel / Repairs 30,541.00 2.8 Capital Outlay 79,430.00 7.4 Ail Other 57,580.00 5.4 TOTAL 1,075,383.00 100.00 Our personnel costs were down significantly because of the changes and the "lag" in hiring replacements. A replacement through retirement reduced the cost of one officer position. The department replaced two police officers in 2001. The department continues to mn efficiently from a cost per capita comparison with other communities. Training costs remain fairly consistent at around 1.% of our total budget. The police department generated revenues of $97,913 from court fmcs and violations. Animal licenses and pick-ups accounted for $4,079.00 of revenue. Accident reports generated $2,466.00. Vehicle auction brought in $9,135.00. One new vehicle was purchased with our forfeiture funds at approximately $27,000.00 with equipment. Minnesota Police Pension and P.O.S.T. Board reimbursements totaled $61,019.00 and $4,613.00 respectively. We also received $17,923.00 from the school's crime levy for the D.A.R.E. Program. The SWMDTF reimburses $56,083.00 for the services of Officer Niccum. Revenues totaled $287,003.00 for 2001. 2 - 1306- % < © ¢-~ © ;2 ~:~ ~:~ - 1307- IV.

Mike Buetow left in March during his probationary period. Officer Will Murray and Officer Brad Schoenherr were hired to fill the openings in the patrol ranks. The department continued with regular evaluations of the police employees. In general, the officers have been doing a fmc job in serving the community. Officer Kenny Beck received "Officer of the Year" honors. There was one internal investigation initiated in 2001 by the department for employee conduct. Two officers continue in their probationary periods and into 2002. Citizen Comment Cards In February of 1992, the department initiated a feedback system to solicit input fi:om our citizens on how the police department is serving the community. The cards are randomly sent to citizens who have had a" call for service" contact. The rating system is on a four point basis, poor = 0 and excellent = 4. The department average for our overall service is rated at 3.46 based on a rate of return of about 16%. Psychological re-evaluations were again given to two officers in 2001. The process, psychological testing for each officer every five years, continues. The department has maintained its involvement in the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force during 2001. Officer Dan Niccum is representing our department at the Task Force. The communities involved in the task force are Carver County, South Lake Minnetonka, St. Boni/Minnetrista, Scott County, Shakopee, Hutchinson, Chaska, and McLeod County. See section X for the annual report of the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force. The Mound Police Reserves continue to do an excellent job for the community and the department. Sgt. Truax has served as the liaison for the reserves. The unit strength has been fairly stable with six to eight volunteers. The Mound Police Reserves combined to donate a total of 1,341 hours. Child Protection cases accounted for 41 investigations in 2001. There were 14 criminal sexual contact cases reported. Combined Part I and Part II contacts were up. Part I offenses were up almost 35% in 2001 and Part II offenses were down slightly; under 1%. 6 -1310- Other significant cases included the investigation of the bank robbery at Crow River Bank on April 1 ltU. We continue to explore leads in that case. The beating' of a young man at an apartment complex where he had gone to talk to a neighbor about a noise complaint, a terroristic threats case involving the use of a gun, two separate robberies between young adults, two second degree assaults, recovery of property from two burglaries and a vehicle theft thef~ from vehicles involving several local young people, a firearm assault of a residence, a case resulting in a burglary conviction for the removal of stereo and video equipment, and several narcotics cases were worked during the year. In December, three officers received injuries while responding to an assault situation at a home on the Island. All three officers needed medical attention and two lost time from work while healing from their injuries. In September, Officer Alexander began fulltime as our School Resource Officer at Grandview Middle School, Our Lady of the Lake, and Shirley Hills. Officer Alexander will be taking our the presentation of the D.A.R.E. Program, from Officer Beck, within her duties as SRO. Community funds were raised in order for the department to begin the program. There were 172 (up 23%) formal complaints signed in 2001 charging individuals with a variety of crimes. Some of the most severe cases involved the assault and injury of our police officers, criminal sexual conduct, assault, domestic assault, narcotics possession and sales, forgery, felony theft, terroristic threats, fleeing a police officer, Gross misdemeanor DWI, and possession of stolen property, Other complaints included DWI, no insurance, disorderly conduct, possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, minor consumption, harassing communications, assorted driving violations, worthless checks, violation of orders for protection, dumping, hit and mn accidents, barking dog, loud parties, false information to police, and criminal damage to property; to name a few. Officers and staff used a total of 517 days of benefit time during 2001. The time off included approximately 208 vacation days, 134 holidays, 52 comp days, and 123 sick days. Officers earned 460 hours of comp time and 1173 hours of overtime during the year. -1311- MOUND POLICE RESERVES ANNUAL REPORT The Mound Police Reserves donated 1,341 hours to the City of Mound in 2001. The unit continues to operate with 6 to 8 members. The police reserves assisted in providing the following security services and/ or police back-up at: Emergency call outs D. A. R. E. assists Reserve squad - house checks High school dances Hockey and football games Mound City Days Rotary Dinner for 100 Officer Friendly assists Westonka Homecoming parade Westonka senior overnight party Halloween and "Kiddie" parades Christmas Tree lighting Our Lady of the Lake Marathon Memorial Day Parade Mound Westonka High School Graduation Fish Fry Traffic Direction (emergencies) Transports Recycling Drop Off Crime Prevention Incredible Festival The Mound Police Reserves received training in fn'st aid and CPR, defensive tactics, and new officers attended the Hennepin County Reserve Officers courses. Finances: The reserves continue to raise their own funds and are predominantly self- sufficient. The Emergency Preparedness budget also contributes funds to the maintenance of training and equipment for the police reserves. The police reserve account has about $10,420 in balance. Again, in 2001, the severance fund encumbrance is relatively low due to the change made in the disbursement of those funds. The reserve officers now receive a check in December to cover any expenses that they incur during the year. -1312- V. TRAINING The police department attempts to provide training on a continual basis to maintain its effectiveness and efficiency. Modem law enforcement is an ever-changing environment that requires the development of special skills and necessitates officers keep abreast of recent changes in job relevant statutes and procedures. The police department accomplishes high standards of excellence when extensive training can be offered to both officers and staff. Police personnel attended the equivalent of 132 days of training in 2001 in addition to our in-house firearms training. Courses Attended Firearms Training / F.A.T.S.

EQUIPMENT For new vehicles were purchased in 2001. Two became a marked vehicles in patrol and two remained unmarked. The vehicles were purchased through the state bid process and all are Chevrolet Impala police package. We have a total of five Impalas, one Lumina, the Dodge Durango four wheel, and the CSO Chevrolet van in normal service. In 1995, we converted a forfeited Buick Electra for utilization as a D.A.R.E. vehicle with the support of the Rotary Club of Mound/Westonka and the Mound Crime Prevention Assn. The vehicle is being used by our SRO/D.A.R.E. officer and has made a great impression on the kids. A new radar and in-car video system were purchased to replace an older models. The department added 3 digital cameras for officers on the street and received a set of night vision monoculars as part of our community policing award from 2000. Maintenance of video and audio tapes cominues to be an ongoing expense, but has been very productive in the resolution of cases. 11 -1315- VII. COMMUNI~ EDUCATION / SERVICE The department has stayed involved with the community in a variety of activities in 2001. The following is a brief description of the activities. Crime Prevention Officer Christenson did an excellent job of organizing the National Night Out celebration. This year we again focused our celebration around our neighborhood parks and provided frozen novelties and crime prevention materials to those in attendance. The Mound Crime Prevention Association and the Rotary Club of Mound/Westonka funded the event. The heat of the season caused a poor turnout this year. Citizens Academy The police department conducted the in'st citizens' academy in the fall of 1995. Individuals attended classes two hours a night for ten weeks in order to learn, first hand, the operations of the Mound Police Department. The attendee reviews continue to be excellent and two academies were started in 2001. A Youth Academy was also conducted at Grandview Middle School. Triad Initiative to organize senior citizens and to meet on a regular basis to discuss issues of interest and concern. Officer Nelson has been working with our group and is meeting with them on a monthly basis in order to meet the concerns of our seniors. Chief Hah'ell has now been appointed to their Board of Directors for the Gillespie Center. House Checks The police reserves and CSO's provide a service of checking periodically on out-of-town resident's homes when notification has been provided to the police department. Youth Academy A variation on the Citizens Academy presented at Grandview Middle School. Operation Clean Sweep 106 ordinance and zoning violations were addressed in neighborhoods throughout the community.

Fingerprinting The department provides a service of fingerprinting individuals as may be requested. This includes both children and adults. D.A.R.E Program Drug Awareness Resistance Education has been implemented at Shirley Hills Elementary School, Grandview Middle School, and Our Lady of the Lake school. The 17-week program is taught to all 5th grade students and we have expanded into the 1st and 3rd grades with a 5-week program. Westonka Community Action Network The department has been actively involved in assisting the task force in def'ming area problems and developing a network for assisting needy individuals. The department has been designated as a resource for emergency "vouchers" for the County. I still serve on the Board. Homecoming Parade The department assisted the high school with setting up a parade route and then provided security for the parade. Halloween Parade Provided security for children during the parade. Officer Friendly Elementary school presentations for child safety. 13 -1317- School Resource Officer Michelle Alexander has been appointed to work in the schools and assist in providing a secure environment for our children.

STATISTICS This section of the report analyzes the statistical portion of the annual report. Most of the statistics comes from tabulating the information from Initial Call Reports (ICR'S), informational reports, and Waffle citations. The total number of ICR's in a year is useful for comparing the level of activity of the department relative to previous years. It also allows for comparison between personnel changes and activity levels. Some reporting changes were made in 1986 to alleviate statistical duplication that was found in the previous system. TOTAL INCIDENTS PER YEAR 1989 THROUGH 2001 YEAR TOTAL INCIDENTS / MONTH 1989 14,559 1,213 1990 13,680 1,140 1991 13,207 1,101 1992 13,578 1,130 1993 16,897 1,408 1994 16,239 1,353 1995 14,515 1,210 1996 16,680 1,390 1997 17,635 1,470 1998 17,089 1,424 1999 16,182 1,349 2000 12,830 1,069 2001 13,491 1,124 The serious incidents of crime reported to the police department are categorized into Part I and Part II Offenses. Part I Offenses: Part I Offenses include major crimes such as homicide, criminal sexual conduct, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, vehicle theft, and arson. Although Part I Offenses are a small percentage of reported crimes, it is these crimes that demand the most attention from the police department in terms of investigation and commitment of resources. Part II Offenses: Part II Offenses include the crimes of forgery, child abuse / neglect, vandalism, stolen property, sexual misconduct, weapons violations, narcotics violations, liquor violations, DWI, simple assault, domestic assault, embezzlement, harassment, public peace, juvenile status offenses, and other violations. 15 -1319- Part I crimes rose by 35% contacts in 2001; or 122 contacts. 2001 reflected a significant increase for Part I crimes and can be attributed to the rash of larceny from autos. Part II crimes were down slightly; only 6 contacts or less than 1%. The clearance rate for combined Part I and Part II Offenses was 50%. Criminal sexual conduct cases rose by 4 cases or 40%, burglaries rose by 77% (92 total), and larcenies increased by 32% (299 total). Child protection issues declined by 29% (down 13 contacts). Part I and Part II Offenses are the incidents that necessitate the most time and effort from the police department. Initial call time is greater in gathering pertinent information at the scene and the greatest mount of investigation and follow-up is dedicated to these types of crimes. Traffic Offenses: Traffic Offenses include both moving and non-moving violations. An examination of the number and percentage of traffic stops, as part of the total number of incidents, allows one to determine the degree to which vehicular traffic and pedestrian movement affects the department's workload. It should also be noted that the more visible that patrols are maintained, the more likely is the positive impact in deterring serious crimes. In 2001, traffic citations accounted for 1,815 police contacts, down slightly from 2000. Property damage accidents were down 7% and personal injury accidents were down 29%. There were 62 DWI arrests; down 15%. Approximately 34% were for gross misdemeanor violations. The average test was. 15 blood alcohol content (BAC). The highest reading was .28; the legal limit is. 10. Property: Property loses were valued at $320,092.00 in 2001, down significantly from 2000 (34%). Our thefts were up but the values of the losses was down. We had a 48% recovery rate. Child Protection: The department investigated 41 (down 30%) child protection issues and 14 (up 40%) criminal sexual conduct cases for the year. These cases continue to be the single most time-consuming cases we handle. 16 - 1320- Domestic Dispute Cases: The department responded to 109 domestic situations, 50 with assaults. These numbers reflect a decrease of 7% in assaults and 13% overall. Arrests: The department processed and booked 180 adults in 2001, down 25%. There were 39 adults charged for felonies, 321 adults charged with misdemeanors, 49 juveniles taken into custody for felonies, and 171 juveniles taken into custody for misdemeanors. Animal Complaints: The department responded to 615 animal and the CSO responded to 441 ordinance complaints during 2001. 17 -1321 - MOUND POLICE DEPARTMENT 2001 YEA~Ly ~EPORT OFFENSES CLEARED EXCEPT- CLEA~tED BY ARRESTED REPORTED UNFOUNDED CLEARED ARREST ADULT JUV Homicide Criminal Sexual Conduct Robbery Aggravated Assault Burglary Larceny Vehicle Theft Arson TOTAL 0 0 0 0 0 0 14 3 2 3 3 0 5 0 2 2 0 2 16 1 1 11 9 4 92 4 2 7 2 7 299 7 28 45 23 32 24 0 3 2 0 4 2 0 0 1 2 0 452 15 38 71 39 49 Child Abuse/Neglect 31 Forgery/NSF Checks 27 Criminal Damage to Property 106 Weapons 14 Narcotic Laws 40 Liquor Laws 110 DWI 62 Simple Assault 29 Domestic Assault 50 Domestic (No Assault) 59 Harassment 49 Juvenile Status Offenses 75 Public Peace 24 Trespassing 8 Ail Other Offenses 210 20 3 7 6 1 4 5 12 12 1 2 7 12 6 13 2 6 2 2 0 0 1 39 37 7 0 1 110 92 37 0 0 62 61 1 3 12 9 10 1 3 8 37 36 7 0 0 0 0 0 1 21 2 2 0 4 5 66 0 80 1 11 15 13 2 4 2 5 2 12 0 1 49 42 9 TOTAL 894 44 83 427 321 171 PART II~& PART Property Damage Accidents 116 Personal Injury Accidents 20 Fatal Accidents 0 Medicals 350 Animal Complaints 615 Mutual Aid 166 Other General Investigations 6,593 TOTAL 7,860 HCCP 41 Inspections 441 TOTAL 9,688 59 121 498 360 220 18 - 1322- MOUND POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICE/CRIME ACTIVITY REPORT Hazardous Citation Non-Hazardous Citations Hazardous Warnings Non-Hazardous Warnings Verbal Warnings Parking Citations DWI Over .10 Property Damage Accidents Personal Injury Accidents Fatal Accidents Adult Felony Arrests Adult Misdemeanor Arrests Juvenile Felony Arrests Juvenile Misdemeanor Arrests Part I Offenses Reported Cleared Arrests Made Part II Offenses Reported Cleared Arrests Made Medicals Animal Complaints Ordinance Violations Other Public Contacts 1997 1999 1998 988 664 1,073 839 577 591 260 205 245 768 553 663 988 922 1,048 636 338 356 93 67 56 75 48 50 88 87 87 37 34 32 0 0 0 57 45 27 438 403 299 61 71 21 193 239 110 2000 1,091 500 245 692 1,085 423 73 61 125 28 1 43 404 31 204 _2001_ 639 474 152 461 901 580 61 59 116 20 0 50 392 51 190 305 371 230 334 452 95 89 41 110 124 103 99 30 58 88 843 738 586 900 894 582 530 410 613 554 537 570 756 533 492 317 344 386 368 350 701 638 597 637 615 351 468 301 409 441 9,597 10,277 9,424 5,176 6,593 Total Assists Follow-ups Mutual Aid 17,635 17,089 16,182 12,830 13,491 727 611 724 916 521 696 898 441 416 622 206 211 185 234 166 19 - 1323- MOUND POLICE DEPARTMENT CRIME ACTIVITY REPORT 2001 GENERAL ACTIVITY SU~Y Hazardous Citations Non-Hazardous Citations Hazardous Warnings Non-Hazardous Warnings Verbal Warnings Parking Citations DWI Over .10 Property Damage Accidents Personal Injury Acci'dents Fatal Accidents Adult Felony Arrests Adult Misdemeeanor Arrests Juvenile Felony Arrests Juvenile Misdemeanor Arrests Part I Offenses Part II Offenses Medicals Animal Complaints Ordinance Violations Other Public Contacts YEAR TO DATE 639 474 152 461 901 58O 61 59 116 20 0 5O 392 51 190 452 894 350 615 441 6,593 LAST YEAR TO DATE 1,091 500 245 692 1,085 423 73 61 125 28 1 43 404 31 204 334 900 368 637 409 5,176 TOTAL Assists Follow-Ups HCCP Mutual Aid Given Mutal Aid Requested 13,491 521 622 41 166 6O 12,830 916 416 59 234 108 2O -1324- MOUND POLICE DEPARTMENT YEARLY REPORT - 2001 CITATIONS DWI More Than .10% BAC Careless/Reckless Driving Driving After Susp. or Rev.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ( CIVIL DEFENSE The Emergency Preparedness budget came in slightly under budget this year. We continue in a joint effort by the Lake area departments to produce a uniform manual for reacting to large-scale incidents and a new resource manual. A grant was secured to cover much of the additional costs but the revenue is not reflected in the Emergency Preparedness budget. Again, this year, hazardous materials continue to be a major concern for Emergency Preparedness. The city receives approximately $4,000 from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association) in the form of a grant. We spent $8,846.96 for emergency preparedness in addition to salaries that are accounted for in the police budget. A significant portion of the money allocated to Emergency Preparedness is used by, and for, the reserve unit. The reserve unit uses a portion of the money for training and uniforms. The reserves are also reimbursed for their expenses from this fund. 23 - 1327- X. SOUTHWEST METRO DRUG TASK FORCE Attached is the annual report of the drug task force in which we are a member. We believe the task force is doing an excellent job and deserves our continued support. The major drags of use in our area continue to be marijuana, coealne, methamphetamlnes, and LSD. 24 - 1328- Southwest Metro Drug Task Force 2001 Annual Activity Report Southwest Metro Drug Task Force saw a 27% increase in cleared investigations in FY 2001 over FY 2000; Agents cleared 160 cases in 2001. Agents were involved in many more investigations, but previous statistical reporting did not accurately reflect the number of active investigations. During the second half of the year, we started reporting our activity a little differently, this more accurately reflects the agency's investigative activity. The trends in drug type were similar to seizures of previous years (i.e., seizures of marijuana, methamphetamine, and cocaine). Traditionally, marijuana investigations have accounted for the lion's share of our investigative efforts. However, methamphetamine is currently the drag of choice amongst stimulant abusers. Therefore, seizures of the drag have been steadily increasing. Methamphetamine investigations have equaled the number of marijuana investigations this year. We anticipate methamphetamine investigations will overrun marijuana investigations during FY 2002. .This report is a compilation of statistical data provided by Southwest Metro Drug Task Force to Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Drug Policy and Violence Prevention. This report includes information on the locations of investigations, search warrants issued, arrest demographics, and information pertaining to drug seizures and asset forfeitures. It is important to note that those involved in trafficking and using controlled substances are highly mobile and any arrest or seizure in one community may likely impact the drug trade in neighboring communities.

She prepares packets for the City Council, Parks Commission and Docks Commission. Her duties also include handing incoming and outgoing mail, etc. I plan on having Jodi certified to.conduct elections. It is imperative that more than one person within the City has the knowledge and experience to train election judges and conduct an election. Jodi is very good at handing the public and is a good first impression for callers and visitors to City Hall. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS There were 24 regular City council meetings in 2001, 12 special meetings and 4 budget workshops, for a total of 40 Council meetings. City Council minutes and resolutions are now entered in their entirety into the hard drive of my computer so that they can be easily accessed using key words or subject matter searches. Previously each discussion item was entered separately into the index system, which was very time consuming. 1 RESOLUTIONS & ORDINANCES In 2001 the Council adopted 106 resolutions. Resolutions requiring recording with the County were certified and forwarded. Ten ordinances were passed and published in The Laker in 2001, and the City Code updated accordingly. I draft the resolutions and ordinances, with final review by the City Attorney. This results in considerable savings over having the City Attorney take his time in the drafting stage. LICENSES & PERMITS The City issued 53 General Licenses and Permits in 2001, which accounted for approximately $5645 in revenue. RECORDS MANAGEMENT In October I submitted to the Historical Society, the City's Notification of Adoption of City General Records Retention Schedule. This now enables me, as the Responsible Authority, to dispose of City records according to this schedule and State Statute. According to state statute, a Date Practices Procedures Manual was also prepared. VVhen time permits, I can now go through the storage areas and retain only the records that we are required to keep. Documentation will be prepared for records destroyed according to the schedule. CEMETERY Four grave sites were sold to residents, and two to non-residents in 2001. lots totaled $3600.00. Sale of these I take care of the cemetery records and updating the map. Jim Fackler is in charge of the cemetery maintenance and locating grave sites for burials. The following locations were performed in 2001:9 for casket burials; 3 for urn burials; 2 for marker placements; and 1 for a family member who could not locate a marker (it had settled into the ground and was not visible). Cemetery maintenance agreements brought in $380.00 in revenue. ELECTIONS We will hear about the Legislature's decision on redistricting on March 20. Hopefully this will not affect Mound's precinct boundaries. Jodi Rahn and I will be attending ongoing election training, sponsored by Hennepin County and the Secretary of State's office. Again, I think it is very important that more than one person within the City is able to train election judges and administer an election. It could put the City in an compromising position if only one person could do this, and that person was unavailable on election day due to an emergency. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS Langdon.woods and Langdon Bay Developments were completed in 2001. The development agreements, along with all exhibits and final plats were compiled, signed and prepared for recording by the County. 2 -1334- NEWSLETTER I orchestrated three City Contacts in 2001. I will be taking a class in publishing a Newsletter so that we can do everything but the printing in-house in 2002, saving the City $2800. INFORMATION RESOURCE I answered calls, too numerous to mention, from the public with questions on everything from development to how much the City charges for a dog license. It's really a good feeling to be able to answer these questions now without having to look them up or ask someone else. VVhat a difference a year makes! I'm becoming a resource for not only the public but other Department Heads and consultants. I research topics with the League of Minnesota Cities, as well as with other cities. It's also rewarding to know that my memory is still intact. After 18 years of being away from City Government, it's amazing what I remember and how quickly things come back. MISCELLANEOUS 2001 was a year of filling in gaps and organizing City records. This task is continuing into 2002. 3 - 1335- AMM FAX Does one o£ these highways run through your coznmurdCy?

The bill would require that all highways in the national highway sys- tem be subject to the same final con- struction plan procedures as inter- state highways. This would exempt nearly all major Minnesota highway projects from municipal consent; adding over 3000 miles of Minnesota roadways to the 800-plus miles of the Interstate System that are already exempt. Cities would still be asked to sign-off on highway construction projects, and if they did not, MnDOT could appeal the issue to a three-member appeals board. However, the ap- peals process would only be a for- mality. MnDOT would not be bound by the board's decision and could proceed as planned regardless of the outcome. If the bill becomes law, all or part of the following highways would no longer be subject to municipal con- sent: highways 3, 5, 10,12, 13, 36, 47, 52, 55, 61,62, 65, 77,100, 101, 118, 160, 169, 212, 242, 252, 280, and 610. If this bill passes and one of these highways runs through your city, MnDOT will be able to proceed with construction projects regardless of local cost or design preferences. The companion bill in the House is HF 3525, sponsored by Rep. Mary Liz Holberg (R-Lakeville). It will have to be heard in the House Transpor- tation Policy Committee sometime between now and March 1. The members of that committee include: House Transportation Policy Committee Rep. Workman, Chair (R - Chanhassen) Rep. Clark (R- New U/m) Rep. Dibble (DFL - Minneapolis) Rep, Holberg (R - Lakeville) Rep. Howes (F~- Walker) Rep. Juhnke (DFL - W111rnar) Rep. Kalis (DFL - Wells) Rep. Kuisle (R - Rochester) Rep.

Westerberg (F~ - Blaine) Rep. Westrom (R. Elbow Lake) Rep. Winter (DFL - Fulda) AMM and other city organizations will continue to work on this issue, but we need your help. Please contact members of the House Transporta- tion Committee, as well as your own Senators and Representatives, and share with them the impact that the loss of municipal consent would have on local communities.

With one month to go before the Legislature's seE-imposed deadline of a pre-Easter adjournment, here's an update on the status of several issues we've been following closely. House and Senate Override Governor's Veto The House and Senate have over- ridden the Governor's veto of the 2002-2003 budget bill. The bill (H.F. 351) addresses $1.95 billion of the state's budget shortfall through spending cuts and use of state re- serves and other one-time money, without reducing LGA or market value credit amounts, However, as a result of the February forecast re- leased on Monday, the projected bud- get shortfall is now $336 million more than previously estimated. Therefore the Legislature will need to further reduce the state budget in order to bring it into balance. Both House Republicans and Sen- ate Democrats have said they will attempt to protect education from any additional cuts in the so-called "Phase !I" reductions. However, House Republicans continue to say that they will not support tax in- creases to solve the budget short- fall. At this time neither party has released a complete "Phase I1" plan or scheduled committee hearings. Senate DFL Unveils Transportation Plan The Senate majority has released a plan to fund $7.5 billion in new trans- portation and transit investments over the next 10 years. The plan includes a 7-cent gas tax inorease and index- ing the tax to inflation. The revenue that results from the indexing would be used for debt service on $100 million per year in trunk highway bonds. The revenue from these bonds, as well as the portion of the gas tax that goes to trunk highways, would be split 50/50 between th,' metropolitan area and Greater nesota. The plan would also increase license tab fees and use the revenue from the motor vehicle sales tax (MVST) that is currently back filling for the reduction in license tab fees enacted in 2000 to support a new multi-modal transportation fund. Finally, the plan would place a refer- endum on the ballot seeking voter approval for a half-cent sales tax in the metropolitan area to fund addi- tional transportation projects. In ad- dition to the traditional seven county area, Chisgao, Isanti, Sherbume and Wright counties would be included in the referendum and the tax. Municipal Consent Legislation Continues to Advance H.F. 3525, which would eliminate municipal consent for all Minnesota highways in the national highway sys- tem, was approved by the House - 1337- l'lar B1 2002 13:27:Z0 Via Fax -> Association of M~tropolit~n Municipalities News Fax Transportation Policy Committee on oThursday, and sent to the House Trans- on the Senate floor.

Please continue contacting your local represen- tatives to explain the impacts and costs this bill would impose on local commu- nities. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's Mixed Housing Bill The mixed housing bill (S.F.3169/H.F. 3430), which is based on the recommen- dations of the Minnesota Housing Fi- nance Agency's Inclusionary Housing Study, has been heard in both the Sen- ate Jobs, Housing and Economic Devel- opment Committee and the Local Gov- ernment Committee, and has now been referred to the Senate Tax Committee. However, the companion bill has yet to be scheduled for any hearings in the House. raised several concerns about the mixed housing and zoning provisions included in f:he bill. Minneotnka City Councilmember Terry Schneider and Woodbury city administrator Barry Johnson testified on behalfofAMM when the bill was heard by the Senate Jobs, Housing and Economic Development Committee. No testimony was offered atthe Local Government Cmmittee. The bill may not be subject to luther action. Metropolitan Airports Commission Reorganization A bill (S.F.2682 / H.F.2568) that would have made the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) a division of the Min- nesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT') was defeated in the Senate Local Govemment Committee on Thurs- day. During the committee debate, the bilJ was amended to give the Legislative Commission on the Metropolitan Coun- cji authority to review the MAC's budget, the amended bill was defeated after debate. 95Z'~?ZOF, Z1] l{anaJs }lanson Da§e 003 I]£ I]03 February25.

Action needed The House and Senate approved the budget compromise yesterday and tried to send it to the governor. Although there are signs posted around the capitol noting the "lost" governor, the bill has apparently now been delivered and the governor has lhree days to take action. He can either sign the bill, veto or allow the bill to become law without his signature. For cities, the House/Senate agreement preserves current year funding for LGA along with the current law annual appropriation inflator for LGA as well as the funding for the market value homestead credit reimbursement. The agreement is not all positive--it eliminates the TIF grant funding. However, the compromise plan is likely the best-case scenario for cities. If the governor vetoes the bill, urge your representative to support the veto override. Since the compromise was announced earlier this week, the governor has frequently repeated his concerns about the proposal. However as of this morning, he has stopped short of committing to a veto. On the House floor, DFL members indicated that they are not generally satisfied with the contents of the proposal, especially the cuts in education and human services and the fact that the bill achieves outyear savings by ignoring inflation. If the governor eventually vetoes the plan, it is unclear whether there are sufficient DFL House mernbers who would change their position and vote to override the veto. The bill passed the House on a 76-:56 vote and the Senate on a 57-8 vote. Seven House Democrats did vote in favor of the bill yesterday, including Tom Bakk (Cook), Al Juhnke (Willmar), Dan Larson (Bloomington) Ann Lenczewski (Bloomington) Bernie Lieder (Crookston), Paul Marquart (Dilworth) and Rod Skoe (Clearbrook). There are two remaining concerns about the state budget deficit. First, the updated state budget February 22, 2002 forecast will be unveiled next week. If that forecast indicates that the current biennial forecasted deficit is even larger than $2 billion, the legislature will have to take action lo eliminate that additional deficit. There may be some ability to tap the tobacco endowment to cover an addition shortfall. However, given that the current plan uses almost all available state reserves, further budget-balancing cuts could be on the agenda--including cuts to LGA or the market value homestead credit reimbursement. Second, the 2004-05 projected deficit of more than $2.5 billion is still an issue that the governor has demanded be addressed this year. Although technically the legislature need only balance the current biennial budget, the fact that a large share of the 2002-03 solution is accomplished through one- time uses of reserves means that the outyear deficit is potentially a significant problem. The compromise passed yesterday enacts more than $720 million in permanent 2004-05 spending reductions but also eliminates "inflation estimates" from the 2004-05 planning estimates. Together, these two actions only cover about $:1.8 billion of the $2.5 billion structural deficit--and the saving due to the elimination of the inflation estimates are very soft savings, at best. Cross your fingers that the forecast is not much worse. Unfortunately, rumors late this week suggest that the deficit could grow by $200 to $400 million in next week's forecast. Wine in Liquor Stores HF :1205, the "Wine with Dinner" bill, was defeated last evening in the House Commerce committee on a 7-15 vote. Debate on the bill went on for two hours, as representatives heard from both sides of the bill. LMC Board member and Plymouth city council member Judy Johnson testified against the bill citing the LMC's policy on Youth Access. Lakeville liquor store manager, Brenda Visnovec also testified against the bill.

Many of the House members had heard from their local constituents on the matter, and we thank all you who took the time to contact your legislators. We do not expect the Senate to address the issue in lhis legislative session. Senate Committee votes to narrow "municipal consent" On Thursday, the Senate Transportation committee passed a bill that would dramatically narrow the scope of the current municipal consent law. Under SF 3277, authored by Senator Dave Johnson (DFL- Bloomington), all highways in the national highway system would be subject to the same construction plan procedures that currently apply to interstate highways. The bill would not eliminate the three-member appeals board nor the appeals process. However, under the bill, MnDOT would not be bound by the decisions resulting from the appeals board process. If ultimately enacted into law, this change will effectively exempt an estimated 3,000 miles of highways from the current municipal consent process. The municipal consent process was modified and streamlined just last year to respond to legislative concerns about project delays. This new law has hardly been allowed to function and now, highway construction interests are demanding this significant restriction on municipal input. MnDOT has not taken a position off the bill. The House has not yet considered the companion bill, which is authored by Representative Mary Liz Holberg (R-Lakeville).

Residential Inspections Altered On Wednesday, I-IF 3518 authored by Representative Phil Krinkie passed out of House Local Government Committee. The bill makes major changes the nature of residential construction inspection in Minnesota by removing significant local authority and responsibility for construction code enforcement in the affected residential stmctures. The bill voted upon was an amended version. The nature of the amendment actually made the bill much less workable for local government. Life safety and fire safety inspections were exempted in Sec. 1, meaning that the local jurisdiction will still have the responsibility for making those inspections while the remainder will be done by private inspectors. The other significant amendment was to require the Department of Administration to require a bond of, and certify private building inspectors so that a local municipality could either require state certified inspectors or permit inspectors with no credentialing. Testifying for the bill were the author, Representative Phil Krinkie, Builders Association, and Minnesota Realtors Association. We will have more in next week's Cities Bulletin.

The House floor session is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, l%bruary 26. We expect the House veto override to occur today (Tuesday). The Vetoed. budget compromise Late Monday afternoon, the governor announced his veto of the House/Senate budget compromise. Just last week, the House and Senate approved a budget compromise and sent it to the governor. For cities, the House/Senate agreement would have preserved current year funding for LGA along with the current law annual appropriation inflator for LGA as well as the funding for the market value homestead credit reimbursement. The vetoed agreement was not ali positive--it eliminated the TIF grant funding of $129 million for 2002-2003 and an additional $76 million in 2004-2005. In addition, the compromise plan included numerous state agency fee increases, grant program reductions and a host of small but potentially onerous policy changes. However, the compromise plan was likely the best-case scenario for cities. Will a veto override be possible? The bill passed the House on a 76-56 vote and the Senate on a 57-8 vote. The Senate override appears likely. However, during last week's House floor debate on the bill, DFL members indicated that they were not generally satisfied with the contents of the proposal, especially the cuts in education and human services February 26, 2002 and the fact that the bill achieves outyear savings by ignoring inflation. However, seven House Democrats did vote in favor of the bill last week, including Tom Bakk (Cook), Al Juhnke (Willmar), Dan Larson (Bloomington) Ann Lenczewski (Bloomington) Bernie Lieder (Crookston), Paul Marquart (Dilworth) and Rod Skoe (Clearbrook). Late Monday afternoon, there were indications that with the additional projected deficit, even the House DFL members see the compromise as potentially the best outcome for education and human service interests. Deficit widens-Cities not out of the woods yet On Monday, the Department of Finance released the updated state budget forecast and as expected, the state budget deficit for the remainder of the 2002-2003 biennium is now expected to increase. The projected deficit for the 2004-2005 biennium has also increased. When coupled with the veto, Monday's events appear to throw wide open the debate over how to balance the state's growing budget deficit. When compared to the budget-balancing package approved last week by the House and Senate, the deficit is now $439 million higher. Even if the legislature overrides the veto, the legislature will have additional budget-balancing work to do. This could include cuts in LGA and the market value homestead credit yet this year. However, late Monday afternoon, the House and Senate were discussing remedies that we believe would minimize any city pain and potentially move any needed cuts into pay 2003, which would allow cities and counties to prepare for cuts. We will have more these two issues in this week's edition of the Cities Bulletin Questions.9 Call Gary Carlson or Jennifer O'Rourke 1-800-925-1122 or 651-281-1200 For more informalion on oily legislative [~taue.,, conlacl any member of Ihe League of Minnesota Cilies lnlergovernmenlal Relatioms learn. 651.281.1200 or 800.925.1122 - 1358- Hat 81 2882 14:47:29 Via Fax -> 9524?ZBGZB A&ministra~or Page 001 Of B82 -FridayFax- A weekly legislative update from theLeague of Minnesota Cities March 1, 2002 House and Senate Override Governor's Veto Not out of the woods yet? On Thursday morning, the Senate completed the override of the governor's veto of the House/Senate budget compromise. The bill now becomes law and the governor must begin implementing a $2 billion combination of budget cuts and the use of state reserves contained in the bill. Fortunately, the new law does not contain any cuts in LGA or the market value homestead credit. However, TIF grant funding has been redirected to balance the state budget. The veto override does not mean that the state's budget is completely balanced for the remainder of this biennium. The release of the state budget forecast on Monday revealed that the state now has an additional $439 million deficit to address. House and Senate leaders have indicated that they will begin the process of crafting a "Phase II" budget-balancing proposal yet this week with potential committee deliberations as early as next week. Given that the Phase I package drew heavily from state reserves to balance the first $2 billion of the state's shortfall, there may be little further opportunity to draw from other state reserves. This could translate into the need for deeper cuts in state spending, including potential cuts in local government aid and the market value homestead credit reimbursement. However, there may be ways for the legislature to avoid cuts yet this year. The governor had included in his original supplemental budget proposal a refinancing of more than $200 million in transportation projects. The House and Senate could use this mechanism to free up resources to temporarily cover the current deficit. In addition, there may be resources available in the tobacco endowment that could be used to balance the short-term deficit. Also, there has been some discussion of recapturing some of the "surplus" that has accrued to the highway user tax distribution fund due to the increase in automobile sales tax receipts that have resulted from extremely low financing incentives by the automobile industry. Even if the remaining $439 million deficit is covered without affecting city aid payments, there may be one additional event that could trigger additional cuts. At the Monday budget forecast announcement, Finance Commissioner Pam Wheelock mentioned that the department might prepare an August budget forecast if future economic indicators suggest that the February forecast might need to be updated. This forecast could serve as a rationale for the governor to call a special session or for the governor to employ his unaliotment power to reduce state expenditures. How likely is this event? Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan indicate that he believes the recovery from the current recession could be slower than first thought. In addition, given the governor's criticism of the House/Senate budget compromise, he might enjoy calling a special session just a few months before the November redistricted election. Enjoy your summer! Sviggum Invites Public to "Open Office" to Offer Budget Input House Speaker Steve Sviggum (R-Kenyon) is inviting the public to his office in St. Paul on Monday to offer their ideas and insight on the second phase of balancing the state budget. All day on Monday, March 4th, will be dedicated to open meetings and calls with citizens. "The bipartisan balanced budget agreement that went into law today was a major first step, "said Sviggum. "But there is a lot more work to do and some tough decisions will be required. That's why I want citizens to have every opportunity to let their views be heard." Sviggum's office is located at 100 Constitution Avenue, 463 State Office Building in Saint Paul. Citizens are encouraged to stop by throughout the day for walk-in meetings with the Speaker.

Over 100 delegates listened to a morning filled with speakers on the state budget scenario and a presentation on the emerging legislative topic known as CrimNel. Participating in the morning legislative panel were Rep. Ron Abrams (R-Minnetonka), Rep. Jim Knoblach (R-St. Cloud), Finance Commissioner Pam Wheelock, and Revenue Commissioner Matt Smith. Although two key senators had tentatively confirmed, neither Senator Moe (DFL-Erskine), nor Senator Pogemiller (DFL-Minneapolis) were able to attend due to the Senate's floor session in the morning. Each of the panelists stressed how difficult the second phase of the budget balancing exercise would be, given that the "easy" fixes had already been employed in the Phase I package. According to Representatives Abrams and Knoblach, discussions among House and Senate leadership have begun but no final compromise has been reached on how the second phase of the budget- balancing exercise will be accomplished Representative Abrams did speculate on issues yet to be resolved in last year's tax bill, including his belief that the LGA formula should be revisited in the near future. His original plan to reform LGA would have included using the $14 million set aside in last year's tax bill for LGA reform. Those funds have now been used in the recent House-Senate budget balancing proposal and that without some additional resources, he believed that reforming the system will be more difficult. He did stress that when LGA reform is initiated, he will certainly insist that it will be a two-way dialogue between city interests and the legislature. After lunch, attending city officials headed to the Capitol to visit with their legislators. With the drama of the veto override and the pace of the session due to the committee deadlines, it was a important day for city officials to be at the Capitol. Second Committee Deadline Today.'? Today marks the second committee deadline where policy bills must be reported out of all policy committees in both houses. Bills that do not meet the deadline are technically "dead" for the session. The committee deadlines are enforced to narrow the focus of the legislature during the final weeks of the session. Although the deadlines mean that some of the "good" LMC initiatives are dead for the session, the deadlines also mean that many "bad" ideas are dead as well. This deadline is now apparently open to some interpretation. According to some members, the House and Senate never adopted joint roles spelling out the committee deadlines and therefore the deadlines technically do not exist. Don't worry. The committee chairs have announced that they are observing the deadlines. In any event, we will keep looking over our shoulder and under rocks to make sure that "bad" ideas are not reincarnated. We will have an update on some of the living and the dead in next week's Cities Bulletin.

Foster opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. and informed the Board that the applicant has been working with staff on revisions to the proposed site plan. He stated that he did not believe there was need for further action by the Board at this meeting. Nybeck stated that an amended site plan for dock site #3 has been discussed with the applicant that would nOt require a variance from Code, The applicant has also stated that they would like to relocate the BSU that was displaced at dock site #10 in 2001. A request has been made by the applicant to withdraw the vadance application submitted and to continue the new multiple dock license application to a future meeting. The new' multiple dock license application cannot take place at the next meeting because the deadline for publication of the public hearing had already passed. A letter will be sent out to the applicant informing them that an additional 60 days is needed to process the new multiple dock license application. He concluded that the Board might want to consider discussion of refunding the entire variance application, of which $250 is refundable and the remaining $250 is generally non-refundable. Foster asked if it would be mo~'e appropriate to close this public hearing and re-open it after it has been properly advertised or to continue it to a future meeting. LeFevere recommended that the public hearing be closed. There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed at 7:10 p.m. WATER STRUCTURES A. Excelsior Bay Harbor, new multiple dock license (minor change) application for 93 Boat Storage Units (BSU's) on 930' of continuous shoreline, Foster stated that a new multiple dock license (minor change) application had been submitted for consideration by the Board. The facility conforms to Code and it appeared that the main issue for the Board to resolve is a 10 square foot increase in cumulative BSU square footage in the proposed site plan compared to the approved site plan. He asked staff to provide further background on the proposed application. Harper made the following comments: ° A new multiple dock license (minor change) application has been submitted for three proposed changes. First, the applicant proposed to relocate a BSU from the south end of Dock D to the south end of Dock C, decreasing its size from 12' x 28' to 10' x 2,4'. Second, the applicant proposed to realign the oPening of two BSU's to the south of the access for easier access. Third, the applicant proposed to relocate a BSU from the south side of the peninsula to the north side, and increasing its size from 12'x 28' to 14'x 32'. · Two Code Sections apply to the new multiple dock license (minor change) application. First, Code Section 2.01, subd. 1 prohibits a person from using any area of the Lake outside an authorized dock use area. Staff has evaluated the proposed site plan and believes it complies with Code for docking and storage of watercraft within the authorized dock use area. Second, Code Section 2.03, subd. 7 states that a new multiple dock license is required when there is any change is slip size, length, width, height or location of a structure or launching ramp. It can be done without a public hearing provided a number of criteria are met. The proposed application generally meets these criteria, with the possible - 1364- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 13, 2002 Page 3 exception of d), This criteria states "there is no substantial change in slip size, length, width, height or location of the dock or launching ramp, the amount of the Lake obstructed or occupied by the dock or launching ramp, the use of the dock or launching ramp, or the type of watercraft stored at the dock or launching ramp". The proposed BSU size adjustments would result in a 16 square foot increase from the approved site plan, · The City of Greenwood and the MN DNR were provided a copy of the proposed application and they expressed no objections to it. Seuntjens stated that the side site line on the South end of the property is unique because it parallels the shoreline to the south towards the channel leading into St. Albans Bay. He questioned how this would impact the abutting property to the south, the Hennepin Regional Trail Authority, and why some of the proposed changes are not relocated on the other end of the site north of the peninsula because there is considerable lakeshore frontage that is not currently being used. Nybeck stated that the applicant was present and that he could review the discussions he had with the abutting neighbors to the north when the Cochrane's Boatyard property was redeveloped. Mr. Kent Cadson, owner of Excelsior Bay Harbor, stated that docking at the current facility was moved to the south of the peninsula at the request of the abutting property owners when the Cochrane's Boatyards property was redeveloped. Both the current and proposed site plans are contained within the parameters of the authorized dock use area for dock length and side setbacks as allowed by Code. Foster stated that if the Hennepin Regional Trail Authority decides to use the abutting property to the south for docking purposes, the Distdct could determine that the southern extended side site line from the applicant's property is unreasonable and it could be adjusted by the Board. The need for potential removal and relocation of approved is also up to the discretion of the 'Board. Babcock recommended that the Board focus on the cdteria d) referenced by Harper ~uhen reviewing the proposed application. He believed the three proposed changes in the past have required anew multiple dock license application with a public hearing. He recommended that a public hearing be considered for the proposed changes to allow for input from the abutting residents. Carlson stated that if a public hearing is required for the proposed changes, he would leave the facility as originally approved. 'Nybeck stated that two issues were raised by staff when reviewing the proposed changes with the applicant. First, staff recommended that there should not be a square footage increase in the associated slips with the proposed changes. Second, staff recommended that feedback be received from the applicant from the abutting property owners to the north regarding the relocation of the one BSU from the south side of the peninsula to the north. Staff is unclear on the definition of "substantial change" and direction from the Board on whether the proposed changes are substantial is needed. MOTION: Gilman moved, Knudsen seconded to approve the new multiple dock license (minor change) application from Excelsior Bay Harbor as submitted for the 2002 season. Babcock stated that he believed the square footage of the proposed changes increased was greater than 16 square feet reported by staff because the two proposed BSU's that would change to diagonal openings would be larger than what is currently approved. ~ -1365- m Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 13, 2002 Carlson stated that he would be agreeable to restrict the size of the boats within those two BSU's. Page 4 Babcock stated that the issue is the size of the dock, not the size of the boats, within those two BSU's. Foster stated that he would support the proposed motion because he believed the proposed application should qualify as a minor change and not require a public hearing. McMillan asked if the "envelope concept" ordinance pertained to the proposed changes. LeFevere stated that the "envelope concept" ordinance would not pertain to the proposed application because the facility legally conforms to Code. The changes proposed by the applicant require a new multiple dock license and the question for the Board is whether a public hearing should be required to consider them. Skramstad stated that he believed the proposed application provides an example of the difficulty in evaluating whether proposed changes are substantial and the Board should discuss this in the future. He believed the proposed changes by the applicant in this case are not significant. Babcock asked what the harm would be to hold a public hearing for the proposed changes. He recommended a friendly amendment to the motion that would require a "No Parking" sign to the space east of ~SU 7! c~'~ '.h? ?ro?t~sa site oi~r~ ~c '!',~..:: sotl;h of !he peni;-~sula because it is proposed to be vacated and would not be an approved BSU if the proposed application is approved. The friendly amendment was not agreed to by the motioners. AMENDED: Babcock moved, Skramstad seconded to amend the original motion to include a "No Parking" MOTION sign to the space east of E~SU #1 to the south of the peninsula on the proposed site plan. .VOTE ON: Ayes (7), Nayes (3; Foster, Gilman, and McMillan); amended motion carried. AMENDED MOTION VOTE ON: Ayes (9), Nayes (1, Babcock); vote on original motion, as amended, carried. ORIGINAL MOTION Skramstad stated that he believed the Code should further clarify what qualifies as a "minor" change, with examples. The Board discussed this and concluded that it would be difficult to categorize or establish parameters to define what qualifies as a "minor" change for the wide range of changes that could be proposed at the multiple dock facilities around the lake. The consensus of the Board was that each application should be reviewed individually to determine whether proposed changes qualify as a "minor" change. C. Additional Business. There was no additional business. LAKE USE & RECREATION B. Additional Business. -1366- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 13, 2002 Page5 Nybeck stated that there was a pending special event application, the Red Bull Kite Freeze, that staff is working closely with the Sheriff's Water Patrol. The event is scheduled to take place from 2/22/02 through 2/24/02 on Wayzata Bay near Spirit Island. Two previous special applications have either been denied or withdrawn this winter for the Chilly Open Golf Toumament and a MN DNR youth fishing clinic, due to ice concerns because of mild temperatures this winter. The Sheriff's Water Patrol at this time is inclined to approve the preposed special event, with a number of safeguards that need to be met or the event would be cancelled. Although he expressed concerns with ice thickness, especially since vehicles are proposed to be on the lake in association with the event, he was inclined to approve the special event application with similar safeguards and allow the Sheriffs Water Patrol to make the determination on whether the ice is sufficient to conduct the event. Another potential problem associated with the event is the use of a P.A. system and speakers for the announcer and music. He concluded that he would approve the special event, with sufficient safeguards that need to be resolved between the applicant and the Shedffs Water Patrol, unless other direction is received by the Board. McMillan asked what the access points to the lake for the special event are. Nybeck stated that he was unclear of the access points to the lake; however, the vehicles being staged for the event are proposed to be parked at Wayzata Yacht Club. He believed that there was sufficient justification to deny the special event application; however, the applicant was not present to present their case before the Board because of the late submittal of the application. Code requires special event applications to be submitted at least 30 days in advance of the event date, noting that this application was received in the office on 2/7/02. Foster questioned whether the Board should deny the special event application based on the safety of the ice. He believed that this is the judgement of the special event coordinator and that it is their responsibility to ensure that they are properly insured. The District always considers the ice on Lake Minnetonka to be unsafe and the participants would be participating at their own risk. He cited ice boaters as an example. He stated that he understood that the coordinators for the Chilly Open Golf Tournament agreed to cancel the event; however, it was denied by staff at their request for insurance purposes. Seuntjens stated that he believed there is a significant difference between the proposed event and ice boatere because the special event requires a permit from the District. He expressed concern in approving the special event application and the potential for liability of the District if something bad were to occur. McMillan expressed concem with the proposed P,A. system and where spectators would access the lake. Babcock stated that he also had concem with the use of loud speakers in a residential area. The proposed event is commemial in nature and should conducted in commercial areas of the lake, citing Excelsior Bay as an example. He questioned the proximity of access points to the lake to the event location, noting that he believed it would encourage on-lake parking of vehicles. Foster stated that he believed the special event application could be approved with the stipulation that the use of a P.A, and speakers would be prohibited. MOTION: Seuntjens moved, Skramstad seconded to direct staff to deny the application for the Red Bull Kite Freeze special event. -1367- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District I~egular Board Meeting February 13, 2002 Page 6 Babcock questioned whether there was enough time to work with the applicant on the relocation of the special event to another area of the lake that would be more appropriate. Foster stated that he had trouble denying the special event application without having a representative present. VOTE: Ayes (9), Nayes (1, Foster); motion carried. Babcock stated that he was opposed to the proposed location of the special event rather than the event itself. 3. FINANCIAL A. Audit of vouchers (1/16/02- 1/31/02) & (2/1/02-2115102). Skramstad reviewed the audit of vouchers for payment as submitted, noting that the pontoon has been purchased for the EWM Harvesting Program. MOTION: Babcock moved, McMillan seconded to approve the audit of vouchers as submitted. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. B. [.)ecembar fina~cial summary and balance sheet. McMillan stated thai. she requested that this agenda item be removed from the consent agenda because the financial sheet did not accurately reflect the District and business community shares for the 2001 Water Patrol project in the Save the Lake balance sheet. The Board directed staff to correct the balance sheet and bring it back to the next Board meeting. C. Staff update on LMCD Investments. Foster stated that staff had prepared a memo that summarizes current LMCD investments for informational purposes. D. Additional Busing, ss. Seuntjens stated that there would be a new format for the monthly financial summary and balance sheets, beginning with the 2002 calendar year, at an upcoming Board meeting. EWM/EXOTICS TASK FORCE B. Additional Business. There was no additional business. ADMINISTRATION A. Staff update on appointment of Board members whose terms expired in January 2002. Nybeck stated that a letter was sent to the member cities in October reminding them that terms for Board members run from February 1st through January 31st of the following year. Six member cities were notified Board wr~uld expire in January. These cities included that the term for their representative on the_ 1 368 - Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 13, 2002 Page 7 Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Shorewood, Spring Park, and Victoria. Appointments for these member cities are as follows: · Uinnetrista has re-appointe~ Paul Knudsen for a three-year term. · Mound has appointed Orr Burma for a three-year term. · Orono has re-appointed Lili UcMillan to a one-year term. · Shorewood has re-appointed Tom Skramstad for a one-year term. · Spring Park has re,appOinted Craig Nelson for a three-year term. · Victoria is looking for a replacement on the Board and has recently advertised it. B. Additional Business. There was no additional business. 6. SAVE THE LAKE There was no discussion. 7. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Nybeck stated that four informational items have been included for informational purposes. This inCluded the latest quarterly Executive Director Newsletter, a 2002 Meeting Schedule, a copy of a recent letter to the editor in the Lakeshore Weekly News, and a bound copy of the MN DNR Report on Lake Uinnetonka reviewed by Tim Kelly at the previous Board meeting. Seuntjens asked for clarification on the number of intoxicating liquor licenses the District can issue and an estimate on the demand for them. Nybeck stated that the District is allowed by state law to issue 14 intoxicating liquor licenses to charter boats on Lake Minnetonka. Any changes to increase the number of intoxicating liquor licenses would need to be approved by the state legislature. The total demand for intoxicating liquor licenses in excess of 14 would range from approximately five to 10. Seuntjens asked for clarification on how the number of 14 intoxicating liquor licenses was derived. LeFevere stated that the Minnesota Liquor Control Division issued intoxicating liquor licenses for charter boats on Lake Minnetonka for a number of years. The Distdct questioned whether the Liquor Control Division had the legal authority to license liquor licenses for charter boats on Lake Minnetonka. The Distdct agreed to assume this, provided that the Liquor Control Division supported the related legislation at the state legislature. The original legislation was submitted to the legislature with the idea that the number of 14 would greatly exceed the demand for intoxication liquor licenses. He recalled that the number of 14 was similar to cities of a certain classification. Nybeck stated an invitation was sent to the District office from the MCWD for representation at a meeting on Wednesday, 2J27/02, to discuss water quality issues on Lake Uinnetonka with a panel of national experts. The meeting is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the Board might want to consider sending a representative, previded there is sufficient commitment for a quorum at the Board meeting scheduled that same evening. He stated that UcMillan has expressed an interest in attending the MCWD meeting if a quorum is expected at the 2/27/02 Regular Board Meeting. - 1 369- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 13, 2002 Page 8 The consensus of the Board was for staff to work with UcMillan on checking further into this with the MCWD and to make a decision based on the feedback received. 8. OLD BUSINESS Skramstad asked at what meeting would the draft ordinance amendment prohibiting motorized watercraft be discussed ~t the Doe~d level Foster stated that would take place at the 3/13/02 Regular Board Meeting. Skramstad informed the Board that he had been working with Foster, McMillan, and Nybeck on finalizing a letter to the member cities regarding the 2001 Water Patrol project. He stated that this letter should be sent out in the next few weeks. 9. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business. 10.

PUBLIC HEARING · Wayzata Yacht Club (Site 2), new multiple dock license and launching ramp application to: 1) reconfigure 26 Boat Storage Units (BSU's) at the non-conforming facility, and 2) the installation of a jib crane and a launching ramp. Foster opened the public hearing at 7:05 p,m. and asked for background from staff, Nybeck made the following comments: · A new multiple dock license and launching ramp application has been submitted for Board consideration. The facility is currently approved for 26 BSU's on 326' of shoreline, which makes them a non-conforming facility because of density. · A public hearing was conducted at the 1/9/02 Regular Board Meeting to consider the proposed new multiple dock license application to reconfigure the non-conforming facility. The applicant at that meeting proposed two changes. These included relocating BSU's #17 and #18 to the adjacent island and widening the dock adjacent to BSU #16 to six feet wide for the installation of a jib crane on this finger. Four additional issues were raised by staff at this meeting, including: 1) the applicant needs to resolve pending issues with the City of Wayzata in regards to the jib crane, 2) was there sufficient public hearing notification conceming the addition of the jib crane, 3) whether the Board would consider the proposed changes as an expansion of a non-conforming use, and 4) the need for the applicant to document on the proposed site plan that it complies with the minimum side setbacks from the western extended side site line and to clarify the transition structure used in conjunction with the Lake Uinnetonka Sailing School. A motion was approved at this meetidg to continue the proposed new multiple dock license application to a future meeting, to re-advertise a public hearing notice to include the addition of the jib crane, to direct staff to inform the applicant that an ~dditiona160 days are needed to process the pending application, and to include preliminary drawings and other information on the proposed jib crane. · A public hearing notice was published in the 2/9/02 edition of the Lakeshore Weekly News to include the proposed jib crane and launching ramp. Also, a to-scale proposed site plan has been submitted to ensure that the proposed changes meet Code requirements. One concem raised by some Board members at the 1/9/02 Regular Meeting was the number of unrestricted watercraft stored on land that are associated with the sailing school and whether there was a restriction outlined in Code. He reported that there was a Code restriction; however, it only applies to facilities with special density licenses. · Six Sections of the Code apply to the new multiple dock license and launching ramp application submitted. These 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 site plan and determined that docking and structures are contained within the authorized dock use area, that both the jib crane and transition structure trigger the need for a launching ramp application, and that the proposed reconfiguration of the non-conforming structures requires a new multiple dock license application. He stated that the proposed changes would meet the requirements of the "envelope concept" ordinance. · Two issues are pending that need to be discussed by the Board. The first issue is whether the proposed changes constitute an expansion of a non-conforming use. One consideration for the Board is that the adding of any of the proposed changes is an intensification of the current use of the non-conforming facility and could be considered an expansion. Another argument could be made that the proposed changes have taken place at this facility for a number of years and should not qualify as an expansion.. - 1374- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 27, 2002 Page 3 He cited the use of a pdvate crane in the spring and fall for in and out service, and the concept that the transition structure is more of a shoreline improvement project as argument that the proposed changes should not be considered an expansion, Staff believes that this is a policy decision for the Board to make. A second issue is how to deal with the potential permitting process with the MN DNR and the City of Wayzata. Both agencies were copied on the proposed application for their comments. The MN DNR has stated that the proposed jib crane is the first project of this kind that would be located on a dock rather than land. The MN DNR was researching whether polices existed for jib cranes on docks and whether it would be covered under MN DNR General Permit 97-6098. The MN DNR has reserved their comments while they conduct further research. The City of Wayzata has expressed no concerns about the proposed relocation of the BSU's. Ms. Lisa Atkinson, Wayzata City Planner, drafted a letter dated 2/20/02 stating that the proposed jib crane would require a conditional use permit to be approved prior to installation, whether it is on land or on a dock. She recommended that four conditions be placed on any approval if that was considered by the Board. Further details of these conditions are outlined in the 2/20/02 letter. Staff was not prepared to make a recommendation on the proposed application because there are two pending issues that need to be addressed by the Board. They include: 1) whether the proposed changes are considered an expansion of a non~nforming use, and 2) the applicant needs to resolve the pending issues with the City of Wayzata, and possibly the MN DNR, on the proposed jib crane. Foster asked if there were questions or comments from the Board on the proposed application. Seuntjens asked for clarification of the proposed dock along the shore on the west end of the site. Nybeck stated that structure is the proposed transition structure used in conjunction with the sailing school, noting that it was not included in the proposed site plan at the 1/9/02 Regular Meeting and it is not included in the approved site plan. The proposed transition structure has been observed through inspections in recent years and the applicant has proposed to have it reviewed by the Board. Van Hercke asked for clarification on how the transition structure was used. Mr. Tom Elsen, speaking on behalf of the applicant, stated that the transition structure on the west end of the site is used in conjunction with the sailing school, not for docking purposes. It is used for the participants of the sailing school, ranging in ages from six to 12, to dolly the sailboats to the water so that they are launched easily and the sailboats are not damaged, McUillan asked if the transition structure would be seasonal or permanent in nature. Elsen stated that the proposed transition structure would be permanent in nature because thiS would be safer than a seasonal structure. Watercraft would not be stored at this structure and no BSU's are proposed at it. It is used in conjunction with the Lake Minnetonka Sailing School and he provided an overview of what they do. The other proposed structure would be used in conjunction with the proposed jib crane, which would allow put-in and take,out of member sailboats on a scheduled basis. The proposed jib crane would not allow them to conduct an activity that does not already occu~ on the site. It would not be available to the public or for rental purposes. The number of facilities that currently allow for launching of member sailboats is two, and those existing public facilities are not a viable option for their members. He believed the proposed jib crane is the least intrUsive and most invisible solution to this problem, He circulated a to-scale drawing of the proposed jib crane and stated that he would address questions or comments from the Board. Van Hercke asked Elsen if a contact had been made with the City of Wayzata. - 1375- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 27, 2002 Page4 Elsen stated that he had attempted to contact Board member Ambrose regarding the comments from the City of Wayzata. The approval of the District would not be a blanket license and the Wayzata Yacht Club understood that they would need to comply with all applicable regulations from the various governmental jurisdictions, including the City of Wayzata and the MN DNR. Var~ Hercke questioned whether it would be appropriate for the District to allow the applicant to resolve the issue with the City of Wayzata before considering the proposed application, especially the jib crane. Foster stated that it was not uncommon for an applicant to have an application considered by the Board at the same time it is being considered by a number of other governmental jurisdictions. Van Hercke stated that she understood the comments made by Foster; however, she questioned whether review by the City of Wayzata on the proposed jib crane would be a deal breaker. Elsen stated that he understood the concerns of Van Hemke; however, he would like to secure as many approvals as possible prior to authorizing the engineering drawings for the jib crane because of the associated costs. Ambrose stated that he had been in contact with Lisa Atkinson and it is her concern that all approval of city permits be secured prior to constructing the proposed jib crane. Elsen re-stated that he understood that the Wayzata Yacht Club would need to comply with all applicable governmental regulations. He suggested that it would be foolish to move forward spending member funds on the proposed jib crane until all govemmental regulations have been complied with, including the City of Wayzata. Babcock thanked the applicant for the improved details of the documents submitted with the proposed application. Mr. Karl Ludescher, 329 Reno Street, expressed concern that he would not fully understand the appearance of the proposed jib crane until after it has been constructed without engineering drawings. He questioned if there was a way to resolve this. He stated that the proposed jib crane would be at the site year around because it has been proposed as a permanent structure rather than a temporary structure. He questioned why the sailing school is not considered part of the Wayzata Yacht Club. Elsen stated that the Wayzata Yacht Club has attempted to minimize the impacts of the proposed jib crane on the immediate neighborhood, including the sight line of the proposed jib crane for the public. Knudsen asked Ludescher if the pdmary cOncern was the proposed change in aesthetics or sight lines. Ludescher stated that his primary concerns related to views, obstruction of summer breezes, and continued increase of uses at the facility. Mr. Steve Bren, Wayzata Yacht Club Manager, stated that one advantage to the proposed jib crane was that it would be relatively quiet because it would be electric versus hydraulic. The location of the proposed jib crane was taken into consideration by Wayzata Yacht Club and would only visible to the public from the entry point into the adjacent parking lot. -1376- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February ~27, 2002 Page5 Seuntjens stated that he was encouraged by the construction ofthe dock that would support the proposed jib crane because it would not require a dock with continuous pilings. Ms. Susan Mueller, 329 Reno Street, stated that the Wayzata Yacht Club made application with the City of Wayzata to launch larger sailboats some years ago. The neighborhood in the immediate area expressed concem about that application, She expressed concern about the safety of the kids in the neighborhood because the dock leading from the island and the swimming platform encourage kids to congregate in the area, She expressed concem with noise problems associated with a party that occurred at the site some two or three years ago. Elsen stated that the Wayzata Yacht Club was well aware of the noise incident referenced by Mueller and that steps have been taken to ensure the privacy of the neighborhood, The intention of the Wayzata Yacht Club with the proposed jib crane is not to launch larger watemraft, noting that it would be used for members only with sailboats that are typically 22' to 24' long. The use of the dock leading from the island and swimming platform is to be used by members only and that this regularly policed. There being no further comments, Foster closed the public headng at 7:45 p.m. McMillan stated that she did not see a problem with the proposed application because the proposed changes did not conflict with Code and she advocated the sailing school as an asset for the community. She believed the proposed jib crane would help improve the efficiency of an existing use. She believed that the concerns raised by the neighbors on aesthetics could be addressed through the conditional use permit process through the City of Wayzata. She encouraged the applicant to encourage education and awareness of exotic species, especially zebra mussels, with it members. Knudsen asked what permitting is involved when competitive events are coordinated through the Wayzata Yacht Club. Foster stated that the vadous yacht clubs on Lake Minnetonka establish a consolidated race schedule for each boating season. Subsequent special event applications for this consolidated race schedule are then made with the District and the Sheriff's Water Patrol. Suerth stated that he had appreciated the cooperation of the local yacht clubs on washdown requirements when sailing regatta's have taken place on Lake Minnetonka in recent years. He suggested that there might be a need for better coordination of washdown of member boats when they come back to Lake Minnetonka from out-of town regatta's. Babcock stated that he concurred with the concem of Suerth. Ambrose stated that he appreciated the visual information provided by the applicant on the proposed jib crane. He added that he appreciated the comments from the applicant that they intended to secure the needed permits from the City of Wayzata. There has been a long history at this site and he believed there might be more neighborhood representation at the Wayzata Planning Commission Meeting. The City of Wayzata still has substantial concern about the proposed jib crane, especially the need for the applicant to secure a conditional use permit. He believed that this could be addressed when the applicant submits proper application(s) with the City of Wayzata. - 1377- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 27, 2002 Page6 LeFevere stated that the proposed application, if approved, would be the first jib crane approved on a dock rather than on land. It would be fairly large structure and other facilities around the lake may want a similar lifting apparatus and it might set a precedent. An argument could be made that it would be easier to put the jib crane on land rather than on a dock. Seuntjens asked for clarification on why the jib crane has been proposed on a dock rather than on land. He asked the applicant if it was practical to have the center point of the proposed jib crane approximately 12' out from on a 24' long dock, especially when the reach of the crane is 14'. Elsen stated that the center point of the jib crane would need to be much closer to shore and that this would reflected on the proposed site plan. He concurred with the comments from the Board on the washdown of all boats that come from zebra mussel infested waters prior to entedng Lake Minnetonka using this jib crane. Skramstad stated that when the proposed jib crane was discussed at the January Board meeting, he had a concern about aesthetics. He believed the documentation and pictures submitted by the applicant have properly addressed this. He questioned how the proposed dock would stand up to the weight of the proposed jib crane when boats are either being launched or pulled out. Elsen stated that the preliminary feedback received from the engineers was that the methods used to secure the jib crane would be sufficient for handling the weight. Ambrose believed that the Distdct could make an argument that the jib crane would be intensifying the use of the site. Babcock stated that the Board should be aware that the proposed transition structure would result in a 700 square foot increase from the approved sit~ plan. He understood that it would be used for transient purposes; however, it could be considered an exp.ansion of its non-conforming use. MOTION: Babcock moved, Seuntjens seconded to approve the new multiple dock license and launching ramp application for Wayzata Yacht Club (Site 2) for the 2001 season, subject to the following conditions: 1) all requisite permits, licenses, and approvals be obtained from the City of Wayzata, MN DNR and other governmental agencies; 2) the launching structure on the west end of the shoreline be designated as transient use only, with no watercraft storage at this location; 3) the transient dock used by the sailing school, formerly attached to the island, be designated as transient use only, with no watercraft storage at this location; 4) the jib crane usage be limited to annual spring put-in and fall haul-out, VVYC member haul-out and put-in associated with out-of-town regattas or events, put-in and haul-out for regatta's or other events associated with a valid LMCD special event permit, member cleaning of watercraft, subject to no chemicals or solvents being used on-site, and no in-out service allowed; 5) all jib crane put-in activity, with the exception of the spdng put-in, requires watercraft washdown or a 5-day dry period to launch; 6) no restricted watercraft being stored on land; 7) a valid slip size report be completed and agreed to with the applicant, confirming that the applicable parameters of the "envelope ordinance" are met; 8) dimensions and sizes not exceeding those shown on the submitted site plans, dated 2/19/02 and 2/25/02; 'and 9) no construction occurs until above conditions are met. VOTE: Ayes (9), Abstained (1, Foster); motion carried. Foster stated that he abstained his vote because he was a member of the Wayzata Yacht Club, although he believed he did not have a legal conflict. - 1378- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting FebrUary 27, 2002 Page7 LAKE USE & RECRERATION A. Tony Brough, review and discussion of Hennepin County Lake Improvement Program. Foster welcomed Tony Brough and he asked him to provide an overview of this agenda item. Brough provided a general overview of the Lake Minnetonka program, noting that H~nnepin County has been involved with placing of buoys and limited channel maintenance, including riprapping and dredging, since the 1870's. Hennepin County is responsible for the placement of buoys on Lake Uinnetonka, noting that he learned a lot about this aspect of this program during the 2001 boating season. Babcock asked what is done with the floating bogs that Hennepin County gets involved with. Brough stated that they generally are dragged to shore by Hennepin County workers and cut up on shore. For the real large bogs that Hennepin County workers cannot take care of, they have a contract with Minnetonka Portable Dredging. He stated that this was also true for trees that fall in the lake and are obstructing channels managed by Hennepin County. Foster complimented the placement of buoys on Lake Minnetonka, noting that he believed that they are placed using a GPS system. Brough stated that buoys are placed using a combination of a GPS system and manual poking, noting that a GPS has accuracy to only within 30, or 40',~ Foster stated that he believed-Lake Minnetonka has more navigational buoys than any other body of water that he was familiar with. Brough stated that from approximately 197(~ to 1990, there were approximately 330 to 360 buoys on Lak~ Uinnetonka. Currently,: there are approximately 480 to 490 buoys on Lake Uinnetonka and he would like to reduce the number of buoys in the future, working with the District and the Water Patrol. In 2003, the point buoys will change so that they are consistent with state unified navigational system established by the U.S. Coast Guard, Foster recommended that the Board review proposed elimination of buoys recommended by Brough dudng the Board Lake Inspection Tour in June. He asked for feedback on the proposed lighted buoy pilot program. Brough stated that Hennepin County did not have funds budgeted for a lighted buoy pilot program. Another concem he expressed was vandalism and the creation of a false expectation, especially on a point or danger buoy, and whether his would create liability for Hennepin County. He stated that he believed they might be more appropriate for either channel or slow buoys. Foster provided an overview of the new technolOgy used in a solar lighted buoy, noting that it involves a battery and a solar panel that allows them to be lit at night. He stated that he had talked to McMillan regarding the use of"Save the Lake, funds on a pilot program, with the idea that the Distdct would work with Brobgh on identifying the best locations to place these buoys. Babcock stated that if the Board proceeds with a lighted buoy pilot program on Lake Minnetonka, a press release should be sent out stating that it would be discontinued if there were excessive vandalism. - 1379- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 27, 2002 Page 8 The consensus of the Board was for Foster, McMillan, and Babcock to work with Brough on the preparation of a pilot program proposal to be reviewed by the Board at a future meeting.

Osgood reviewed a memo, dated 2/20/02, that he and Nybeck prepared that provided an overview of this project. He made the following comments: · The zebra mussel stakeholders met three times between 10/30/01 and 1/24/02, noting that the attendance at these meetings and the enthusiasm for keeping zebra mussels out of Lake Minnetonka had been disappointing. · Prior to the 1/24/02 meeting, a decision was made to jump ahead in the action plan process and make a case for access inspections as the most effective and appropriate strategy. A conclusion had been made that a meaningful and effective program on Lake Minnetonka must include some kind of access inspection. Because the stakeholders group appeared to be unwilling to embrace this element of a zebra mussel prevention plan, a recommendation has been made to suspend the zebra mussel stakeholders meetings. · There is a concern that Lake Minnetonka is at high risk for a zebra mussel infestation. There is a strong view that to significantly J'educe the risk, prevention actions targeted to Lake Minnetonka must occur, including some kind of access, inspection. , · Two recommendations were outlined in this memo. They were recommending that the LMCD and' LMA Boards: 1) direct staff to negotiation a prevention plan that includes some kinds of access inspections with MN DNR staff, noting that this could be facilitated through the 3~8/02 EWM/Exotics Task Force Meeting, and 2) if a negotiated agreement cannot be reached, direct staff to organize a meeting between LMCD and LMA Boards, MN DNR Commissioners and area legislators to negotiate a zebra mussel prevention plan. ° He entertained questions or comments from the Board. Seuntjens stated that he believed one primary means of introducing zebra mussels into Lake Minnetonka is through the public accesses. Education is a key factor of minimizing this risk and he asked for an overview of signage at the public accesses. Suerth stated that he believed there are currently exotic species signs at the public accesses on Lake Minnetonka. A problem at the public accesses is that there is too much signage and it is not well organized. Better coordination and consolidation of signage should be considered in the future. Osgood stated that the action plan should include other accesses to Lake Minnetonka, such as commemial marina and pdvate accesses. He added that the action plan should include other exotic species beyond zebra mussels. -1380- Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 27, 2002 Page9 Babcock stated that he recalled one of the goals of the project was to consolidate the amount of known information and come to a conclusion on whether it could be quantified. He asked if this had been done, Osgood stated that some analysis and numbers were prepared for discussion purposes at the stakeholders meetings. Whether the analysis or numbers were comprehensive or complete could be debated. The focus of this aspect of the program was to illustrate that the scope of the problem was large and real. Babcock stated that if this project were to cease, he would like to see a one or two page summary that could be referred back to. Osgood stated that the recommendation does not include ceasing the program. Because the stakeholders appear uninterested in the project, a different approach is recommended to continue the project. Babcock asked if there was any advantage to having drop down disc type structures to monitor whether zebra mussels have infested Lake Minnetonka. Osgood stated that had not been discussed at the stakeholders meetings because that would be a different type of activity rather than trying to prevent an infestation. Foster stated that Mr. Gary Montz, MN DNR Coordinator of the Zebra Mussel Program, was in attendance to comment on this agenda item, He welcomed him and asked for his comments. Montz stated that the MN DNR has standardized signage at public accesses around the State of Minnesota. This has involved standard actions for the public to take to prevent the spread of all exotic species, with stickers that identify the exotic specie in that body of water. He reviewed MN DNR actions that were coordinated with the commercial marina owners on the St. Croix River regarding distribution of educational literature and training of their employees for inspection purposes, He believed that this could be coordinated with Lake Minnetonka commercial marina owners. A citizens zebra mussel monitoring program has been initiated in the State of Minnesota. This program generally asked citizens participating in the program to report zebra mussels on a dock when it is pulled out in the fall. If the District is interested in promoting this program, he stated that he would be willing to assist in this effort. Babcock stated that he would like staff to work with Montz to identify the number of Lake Minnetonka residents that participate in the citizens zebra mussel monitoring program. He noted that it could possibly be .promoted on the District website. Foster stated that he had received comments from concerned residents relating to the introduction of exotics species through the smaller public accesses on Lake Uinnetonka and advocated a smaller number of larger · public accesses to allow for better monitoring. Montz stated that the MN DNR is very concerned about the spread of exotics species and there have been efforts to work both independently and cooperatively with external groups on expanding and enhancing inspection efforts. The MN DNR was invited to be a stakeholder on the establishment of an action plan, noting that the MN DNR had some concems with the recommendation to suspend the stakeholders meetings. The MN DNR was concerned about the statement that the stakeholders were not willing to consider going down the path of access inspections. He believed what the MN DNR is currently conducting is a form of access inspection. He had concern about the recommendation that the LMCD and the LMA would go into direct discussions with the MN DNR and not include the stakeholders. He stated that he was -1381 - Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting February 27, 2002 Page 10 hesitant to spend the MN DNR's time to continue these discussions because he believed the stakeholders meetings were productive. Babcock stated that some Board members have been addressing the issues related to zebra mussels since the eady 1990's. The ultimate goal of the District is to have a comprehensive program for'lake access monitoring that reduces the chances of zebra mussels infesting Lake Minnetonka and putting the burden on the stakeholders that might cause the problems. He believed that on-going dialog should be continued with the MN DNR. Montz stated that the MN DNR does not want the introduction of zebra mussels to other bodies of water on a statewide basis. He understood that both the LMCD and the LMA would like to prevent the introduction into Lake Minnetonka. He believed the way to proceed on these goals is to see if there is a way to achieve them on a cooperative basis. Suerth asked if the District had a set amount of funds, such as $50,000, how would Montz recommend spending it. Montz stated that the best way to spend this money would be to have inspectors at the public accesses talking to the owners of the boats that are entering the lakes and conducting visual checks. The more people reached and watercraft inspected, the higher level of comfort. Other funds could be used for public awareness and education, noting that most boat owners do not want to spread exotic species. Suerth asked if the MN DNR would support the LMCD and the LMA if the inspectors were hired and trained to conduct inspections at the public access on Lake Uinnetonka. Montz stated that if these inspectors w(ire working under the policies of the MN DNR and were approaching boaters and educating them, he believed that the MN DNR might support it. Nybeck stated that any future dialog with the MN DNR should include Trails and Waterways. MOTION: Babcock moved, Skramstad seconded to direct staff to work with LMA staff to negotiate a prevention plan that includes some kind o[ access inspections, facilitating this through the 3/8/02 EWM/Exotics Task Force. Babcock stated that if a comprehensive public access inspection program is recommended, he would like an idea on how big it would be and what it would cost. Seuntjens stated that he would oppose the motion because he believed that it was not necessary. VOTE: Ayes (9), Nayes (1, Seuntjens); motion carried. B. Additional Business.

He reported that this format would be used beginning in 2002 and that it would include planned, actual, and variance expenditures compared to budgeted figures. Seuntjens asked what were the revenue sources for the EWM Harvesting Program. Babcock stated that revenues are received primarily from the. city levies and a once a year grant from the MN DNR. McMillan stated that the "Save the Lake" Budget should be separated from the "General" and "Exotics" budgets because they are not derived from tax dollars.

Her anniversary date with the District is 3/10/93, with an overall grade of above average communicated to Briner for the period of 3/13/01 through 2J8/02. He stated that Briner is an asset to the District, citing her willingness to assist in picking up workload for the vacant Administrative Secretary position during this performance review period.

The third and final official "public hearing" will be held Monday, February 25, at 7:30 p.m., in the media center of Shirley Hills Primary School. There are, however, several other options for registering your comments, suggestions, or questions. Dozens of citizens have taken the - 1387- 02/26/2002 Page 2 of 5 time to share their feedback, all of which is compiled and given to school board members and the superintendent. Please consider registering your comments through any of the following options: --send an e-mail message to welisten@westonka.k12.mn.us --visit the district Web site and complete an online feedback form --leave a voicemail message on the Budget Hotline (952/491-8443) --complete and return the budget options worksheet found on the district Web site, noting your priorities for cutting and/or preserving programs and staff **School Bus Service Changes Coming to Your Neighborhood** At its regular meeting on February 11, the Westonka School Board directed school district staff to start developing plans to change bus service this spring in order to ease into a revised service plan for the 2002-2003 school year. The first changes will take place April 15. The plan calls for consolidating bus stops and adjusting bus routes in an effort to reduce transportation expenses. Currently, the school district essentially provides door-to-door service, which goes above and beyond the level required (and funded by) the state. For years, local operating levies have paid for the expanded service, but with the failure of the November 6 operating levy referendum, the funding for door-to-door service is no longer available. Transportation and school district staff are now forming plans to consolidate bus stops and adjust bus routes in order to stay within available funding. The changes will mean that many students will now be walking either to school or to a neighborhood bus stop. All community residents are urged to take note of this change, and to be especially attentive to the safety of children walking in areas without sidewalks and/or crosswalks, and gathering at designated bus stops. What will happen, and when, in your neighborhood? Stay tuned. As plans proceed, you will be notified in advance of any changes happening in your area. By beginning on April 15, transportation staff will be able to fine-tune the plans yet this spring, prior to opening school next fall. Questions? Please send an e-mail message to welisten@westonka.k12.mn.us, or call the transportation office at 952/491-8280. **"Focus on Westonka" Real Estate Event** In cooperation with the local RE/MAX A-1 Excellence office in Spring Park, all four school buildings will host open houses on Saturday, March 2, and Sunday, March 3, from 1-4 p.m. both days. - 1388- 02/26/2002 Page 3 of 5 The "Focus on Westonka" event is an opportunity for prospective home buyers to tour homes and visit schools, all on the same day.

Focus Topic: Budget Update 3. Upcoming Events 4. Tell Us What You Think NEWS BRIEFS **Garbage Truck vs. Shoreline Plaza Building: Building Wins** A garbage truck had an unexpected boo-boo this morning while doing its rounds at the Shoreline Plaza strip mall, home to Westonka's Early Childhood Center. There were no injuries and only minor damage when the truck accidentally backed into the rear wall of the building. While we all know that kids love big, noisy garbage trucks, this one - 1392- 03/01/2002 Page 2 of 5 just got a little too close. Fortunately, the damage was limited to a crack and small bulge in the interior wall. Police and insurance company representatives are filing reports this afternoon. **We Want Your Stories** One of the ways we stay in touch with parents and students is by sharing in your stories about experiences you've had in the Westonka Public Schools. Have your children had a truly exceptional teacher along the way? Did your child have a particularly striking "A-HA" moment in the classroom? Have you ever had "above-and-beyond" service from an employee? Has a bus driver given your child an encouraging smile that helped him or her make it through a tough day? If so, we'd like to know. Please send your stories to welisten@westonka.k12.mn.us. If we think they might be good "real-life" examples that prospective residents or staff would like to hear, we'll ask you for permission to share them. **New Administrative Task Force Forming: Members Wanted** In a 'continuing effort to keep budget cuts as far as possible from the classroom, a new budget task force will examine administrative costs, to see if additional savings can be found at the administrative level. All interested parents, citizens, and staff are invited to join this task force, chaired by Supt. Pam Myers. The task force will meet on Tuesdays, at 7 p.m., beginning March 5, in room 200 of Shirley Hills Primary School. Meetings will continue throughout March, and perhaps into April (not including break), depending on task force progress. Please contact Dr. Pam Myers at 491-8001 or myersp@westonka.k12.mn.us if you would like to join this group. **Update on County Road 110 Construction** It's Spring, which means it's Construction Season. Here's the latest we've heard from Hennepin County construction representatives: The next phase of construction is set to begin no later than April 15. The exact start date will depend on when the utilties work will be done. The portion of County Road 110 north from Painter's Creek to the T - 1393- 03/01/2002 Page 3 of 5 intersection with County Road 151 will be impassable until at least mid-July: The County will lower the intersection by 8 feet, and sink water and sewer lines another 22 feet below that. The construction could affect bus transportation because the construction might have an impact on access via West Arm North to County Road 26. The County won't know for a while about the extent of that impact, however, so we are encouraged to stay tuned. Wondering about the traffic light at County Road 110 and Sunnyfield Road? So were we, so we asked the County about the delay in getting it operating. According to the County, street lights ("luminaires") must be installed and operating on both sides of the street before the traffic light can be considered ready for use. On the west side of the road, the luminaire is up and operational. However, on the east side, the pole was placed directly under overhead wires--not a safe place to run power for a street light. So the County will need to reconfigure placement of the street lights prior to energizing the traffic light. FOCUS TOPIC **Budget Update** The School Board has held three public hearings on the budget, and has reviewed the dozens of comments submitted by parents, citizens, and staff in the past few weeks. The original budget timeline called for the Board to make a decision on reduction areas on February 25, but the Board has decided to wait until March 11 for two reasons: 1) they hoped to get a better sense of where the Legislature might end up with budget-related legislation; and 2) they preferred to take action on the budget item at a regular board meeting (instead of a special study session), since regular meetings are the usual format for taking action on issues. Since the Legislature voted to override the Governor's veto, it appears that K-12 education has been spared from even deeper cuts, at least for the very near future. However, the budget outlook for the state worsens every year leading up to 2004-2005. Therefore, while we may not be required to make as many cuts as we thought might be needed for 2002-2003, additional budget cuts are a near certainty in the following years, unless there are dramatic improvements in either local or state funding. Indeed, we may be required to go through reiterations of this year's budget cutting discussions every year for several years. Look for another update after the regular School Board meeting on - 1394- 03/01/2002 Page 4 of 5 Monday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m. at Shirley Hills Primary School ("Share the Success" portion of the meeting starts at 7 p.m.) UPCOMING EVENTS --March 5-6, Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments in Reading, Grades 3 and 5. --March 6, Early Release for Grades 5-12, Grandview Middle School and Mound Westonka High School.

FUNDAMENTAL FINANCE FACT Here's an easy way to remember one aspect of school finance: Levies are for Learning (paying the operating costs of providing education, such as salaries, utilities, and bus service) An operating levy failed in Nov. 2001. Bonds are for Buildings (keeping buildings in good repair and providing certain equipment, such as computers) A maintenance and technology bond referendum was passed in 2001. State law prevents school districts from using bond money to pay for operating expenses. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

The original bill called for allowing the sale of wine in metro area grocery stores. The bill died on a 15-7 bipartisan vote. During the two-hour debate, HF 1205 (Sykora, P,.-Excelsior) was amended to apply statewide. Another amendinent that passed would have allowed local governments to opt out of including grocery stores. Plymouth Councilmember Judy Johnson, who serves on the LMC Board of Directors, testified on behalf of the League. Johnson's comments were based on the League's youth access policy (see below). Lakeville Liquor Store Manager Brenda Visnovec also testified at the hearing; . Proponents of the bill noted that liquor and municipal interests have not raised the access objection when the Legislature has increased the number of liquor licenses in the state. Interestingly, the governor supported the bill and sent in Public Safety Commissioner Charlie Weaver to testify. Weaver testified the bill would not compromise public safety, but would foster retail competition and provide convenience in a busy world. After the vote, League staff thanked individual legislators who voted against the bill. Several House committee members said their local constituents had contacted them about the issue, and it was obvious city participation affected the outcome of the vote. Thanks to all who took the time to contact their legislators. The bill is m~likely to move on the Senate side without a living compan- ion on the House side. We expect the proponents of wine in grocery stores will be back with a proposal next year. The League of Minnesota Cities SD-28 Youth Access to Alcohol & Tobacco Policy states:The League opposes any proposal that could result in increased risks of youth access to alcohol and tobacco products and expanded off-sale venues for the sale of such products. The League supports the sale of alcohol and tobacco products only in controlled environ- ments. The League supports statutory changes that assist in reducing youth access to alcohol and tobacco prod- ucts. The League supports mandatory alcohol compliance checks with state funding initiatives to support locally- determined compliance efforts. ~- Continued from page ! have preserved current year funding for local government aid (LGA) along with the current law annual appro- priation inflator for LGA, as well as the funding for the market value homestead credit reimbursement. The House/Senate agreement was not all positive: it eliminated the TIF grant funding of $129 million for 2002-03 and an additional $76 million in 2004-05. In addition, the compro- anise plan included munerous state agency fee increases, grant program reductions, and a host of small, but potentially onerous, policy changes. However, the compromise plan was likely the best-case scenario for cities. While the House waits to reconsider the veto override, the February budget forecast will set in motion another round of legislative debate to find a solution to the additional $439 million forecasted deficit. On Monday afternoon, the Senate Tax Committee abruptly changed its agenda from a discussion of stadium legislation to a discussion of the February forecast, and House leadership worked into the evening on a possible "phase-two" budget- balancing plan. Given that the pending "phase- one" House/Senate compromise uses almost all available state reserves, further budget-balancing cuts could be on the agenda--including cuts to LGA or the market value homestead credit reimbursement. In addition, the 2004-05 projected deficit of more than $3.2 billion is still an issue the governor has demanded the Legisla- ture address this year. Although technically the Legislature need only balance the current biennial budget, the fact that a large share of the 2002- 03 solution is accomplished through one-time uses of reserves means the outyear deficit is potentially a siguifi- cant problem. ~- February 27, 2002 Page 3 - 1400- Phosphorus bill continues to move in Senate O Jennifer O'Rourke Last Friday, the Senate Agriculture, General Legislation, &Veterans Affairs Committee passed SF 1555 (Higgins, DFL-Mpls.), the phosphorus lawn fertilizer use restriction bill. Senators on the committee, as well as some of the lobbying agriculture interests, were concerned the bill would restrict the agricultural use of phosphorus, and added an anaendment that would clearly exempt local governments from restricting the agricultural use of phosphorus lawn fertilizer. The amendment provided the comfort language the committee needed to pass the bill. The Local Govermnent & Metropolitan Affairs Comrnittee is the next stop for this legislation on the House side. The Senate met the first deadline with SF 1555 by hearing it last week. The end of this week marks the second deadline, when HF 1524 (Leppik, R-GoldenValley) needs to be through the committee process. The House version is one agenda forWed., Feb. 27 at 12:30 p.m., in P~oom 200 of the State Office Building. Kudos to all who took the time to contact their legislators regarding this issue. Legislative staff has informed us of local governments' communications efforts. The League appreciates member cities' grassroots input. ~- Wastewater funding Remi Stone "Plunging for Dollars" is the theme the League and the Minnesota Association of Small Cities used when advocating at the Legislature for bonding dollars for the construction and improvement of municipal wastewater treatment. Both the Senate and House capital infrastructure committees have earmarked between $30 million and $40 million for the wastewater infrastructure fund, in addition to fully funding the state match of federal dollars into the state revolving loan fund. The Senate bonding bill is waiting for floor action. The House is currently building its bonding bill, however, all indications are that wastewater treatment is very high on the priority list, too. Remarkably, 2002 is the first year the governor has put a wastewater treatment placeholder in his capital budget bill. This is a move in the right direction, since there is significant state benefit to water resources when provid- ing quality wastewater treamaent. ~ February 27, 2002 Agreement reached on non-c, ontroversial annexation law Rerni Stone Binding orderly annexation agree- ments and discretion to adrrfinistrative law judges to order elections for representation on a city council after an annexation are the topics of two annexation bills that passed the House Local Government Committee last week. The bills, HF 1620 and HF 1189, appeared on the committee's agenda soon afcer the "right to vote" annexation bill was defeated in the same committee. The LMC secured, in writing, an agreement by' the township organiza- tions that the bills would not become vehicles for future anti-city annex- ation amendments. That agreement provided the authors and committee members the incentive to move the bills without major amendments. Rep. R. on Abrams (P,.- Mirmetonka) made it clear for the record that the bills were not to be used for any other purpose than for those policy items contained within the bills. Abrams further upheld the integrity of Rep. Howes (R-Walker) and g. ep. Vandeveer (R-Forest Lake) by commending them for their ability to move ahead with sound amlexation policy changes outside of the heated arguments involving the "right to vote" bill. The League is very support- ive of the representatives' commitment to keep these bills "clean." Additionally, Sen. Vickerman (DFL-Tracy) has approved the hearing of these bills in the Senate. In a similar move,Vickerman has clearly in- structed all the parties involved, including the bills' authors, Sen. Tommasoni (DFL-Chisholm) and Sen. Bachinan (R-Stillwater), to move ahead with good policy in nund and to avoid any controversial amend- ments to the bills. The Senate is expected to act on the bills late this week. ~ Page 5 -1401 - Ehlers Hosts School Financing and Accountino Seminar March 8 .4 Ehlers & Associates will be hosting the 2002 School Finance and Accounting Seminar -': on Friday, March 8, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Sheraton Minneapolis West Hotel in The conference, held in association with MMKR, a certified public accountant firm,, i one-day seminar for school business and superintendents.

Examples of the restrictions are listed below: · School districts cannot hold special elections within 30 days before or 40 days after the statewide primary and general elections. · Most school districts may not hold special elections within 20 days before or after the township elections in March. · Cities and townships may not hold special elections within the 40 days after the general election. · No school district, city or township may hold (ELECT/ON DATES continued on page 2) "The year 2002 is an unusual one because we have restrictions on special election dates that impact just even numbered years and other restrictions that apply because of redistricting, which only occurs every 10 years," said Steve Apfelbacher, President of Ehlers & Associates. "Any local government considering a special election really needs to take extra special care this year in selecting the date," he said. - 1402- Ehlers Advisor *, Winter 2002 ..... ~ANUARY 1 - FEBRUARY ~::,:~; SE~MBER 10' NO~MB~ ~* DECEMBER 16 - DE C~BER : (ELECTION DATES continued from page 1) an election during the 19 weeks prior to the state primary election. For 2002, this rules out any special elections from. April 30 through September 9. The table above shows the ineligible dates for school districts' special elections. It is important to remember that in addition to the remaining open dates in 2002, special elections may be held in conjunction with a township election (March 12) and special election questions may be added to the primary election ballot (Sept. 10) or the statewide general election ballot (Nov. 5). For more information on how these restrictions affect your local govern- ment, you can call. your Ehlers Finan- cial Advisor at 651-697-8500. Secondary Market Disclosure Language Recommended for TIF NoteS Ehlers is recommending that cities include language in pay-as-you-go Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Notes that requires entities selling those notes to disclose that the City makes no representations or warranties that TIF revenues will be sufficierit to pay the notes. : changes made by the Legislature would reduce future TIF revenues, thus decreasing the value of the TIF notes. A number of cities contacted Ehlers because they had been contacted by investors who had purchased the TIF notes and were looking to the city for relief. This recommen- clation comes as a result of inquiries made by some Ehlers city clients in 2001. Earlier in the year, several banks sold Minnesota pay-as-you-go TIF notes that they owned on the secondary market. The sales occurred prior to the final property tax structure changes made by the 2001 Minnesota Legislature. The secondary market purchasers of the notes were not aware that the Pay-as-you-go TIF notes clearly state that the city" makes no representa- tions or warranties that tax increment revenues will be sufficient to pay the notes. Ehlers' recommen- dation would just ensure that any holde: of a TIF note discloses tha~ language to the purchaser at the time of a sale. Call any Ehlers financial advisor at 651-697-8500 for more information. Todd Hagen Joins Ehlers Todd Hagen has joined Ehlers as a Financial Advisor with the Ehiers City Team.

There are several activities occurring concurrently on the radio project: The radio system is in a "30 day clean burn" period. This is a time when the radio system must operate without any significant failures or malfunctions. The period'commenced around January 15 and is expected to be completed in mid-February. At the completion of the thirty day burn, the County will have "initial acceptance" of the system and can commence use. The County Board on January 22 approved the purchase of 1205 portable, mobile and consolette radios to commence cut over to the new radio system in the June - July time frame. The preliminary general schedule for the first roll out of radio and users on the new system will be the: Sheriff's Office Operations, South Main law enforcement radio users, City of Richfield, County emergency preparedness, emergency medical services, Medical Exan%iner, Con~nunity Corrections adult parole, probation and intensive supervision personnel and security operations within County government. The specific order and scheduling of who comes on when, mobile radio installation and training plans for users are commencing. A letter will be going out to chiefs of respective Police Departments in the County to advise them of, and request their support for and agency participation in the 800 MHz radio system coverage characterization activity. Your fire service will need to coordinate geographic and facility specific testing with the appropriate police department(s). I would encourage you to be involved and represented in the testing. The basic plan is to match members of the HCSO Mobile Amateur Radio Corps with representatives of your agencies and others in order to assess radio system coverage and operation within specific areas and facilities in the communities you serve. This activity is a critical one for your service. The results will be used to develop responses to any problems or issues that are identified. The solutions to situations will be based upon a number of factors depending upon the nature of the occurrence. As a member of the 800 MHz work group, I hope you will volunteer to participate in this important activity within your service. King Fung, P.E. of our office will be coordinating this project and can be reached by e-mail or http:/~w 15fd.lawl 5.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?curmbox=FOOOOOOOOl&a=b306962~--.

You should be contacted in the next several weeks to advise you of the date, time and locations for 800 MHz radio product and demonstration sessions for portable and mobile radio equipment and accessories that your service will be able to lease through the HCSO radio lease program. We have samples of each of the mobile radios that are currently available. Both portable and mobile radios will be set up and operational for you to check out and try. For users included in the first order of radios, this will be your opportunity to make a decision on which models of radios, accessories and quantities you will want for your operations. During the "Beta" testing representatives of Brooklyn Park Fire and Police and Hennepin Parks Police conducted extensive testing of the new XTS-5000 and 2500 series radios. The experiences and leanings from the tests and world use applications will be available to users to consider. Keep in mind that the "dual control head" currently in use on certain types of fire apparatus is not currently available for the 800 MHz digital Spectra Plus radios. This can be discussed with you during the demonstrations. Jeff Meinzer is up to date on this issue with Motorola and the expected product availability time frame. Lease rates for the remainder of 2002 have been set, they will be $550 for a mobile radio and $750 for a portable. The rate is not radio model based for 2002 since the time period during which any user will be on the system will not exceed six months. At this time, the MRB fee of $46 per year is in addition to the base lease rate. During the next 60 days, HCSO staff will be working with the County's Office of Budget and Finance and Information Technology who now manage the lease program and financing to establish 2003 radio lease rates based upon specific radio model costs and projected expenses. The 2003 radio rates will be distributed to you as soon as possible. The core of the 800 Mt{z Training Team has been set in place and has commenced work in conjunction with the Metropolitan Radio Board to develop the County radio training program. The activity is headed up by Captain James O'Shea (763-525-6252) with two new personnel assigned from the HCSO to assist (Deputies Mike Risvold and Spencer Bakke). The team is getting up to speed on various aspect of the new radio system they need to learn along with focusing on the training requirements for the initial sets of radio users. You will here much more from the group in the near future. The Training Team will be looking to identify training personnel and training officers in all organization who can serve as the lead person for training within their service. The project will also be looking for pexsons to assist in training other users within and outside their service area. Persons interested in training should contact Captain O'Shea. System training will likely occur over 18 - 24 months for the initial full roll out. In order to facilitate training, the Radio Cut Over and Installation Team will be working with Motorola and Training Team to develop the schedule to assure installation of mobile radios 3 -'6 weeks prior to end user training. The lead times and variables in assuring that portable and mobile radios Finalizing fleetmaps and radio talkgroup configurations. ~Thile substantial work has been completed in laying out portable radio talkgroup configurations, we are rapidly approaching the point where these will need to be finalized for programming and training. Project staff will be working with you over the next several months to accon~plish this. The "Beta" testing conducted in November and December was helpful in understanding the need for continuity and consistency within and among groups of users while addressing operational needs among diverse groups and diverse needs. The testing also demonstrated the need for a common layer of talkgroups among all radios on the County radio system. The HCSO Communications Division is also working on revised Policies and Procedures in order to incorporate technical and operational aspects of the new radio system into day to day dispatch and end user operational practices. These polices and procedures will include regional as well as County specific http://lw 15fd.law 15.hotmail.msn.com/cgi_bin/getmsg?curmbox=F000000001 &a=b3069b2C.... 1/25/2002 -1414- Hotmail Message policies and procedures. Scott Williams will be joining the' 800 M~z project staff January 28 replacing me. Scott comes from the City of Richfield where he has managed the city's communications center and system. He has been actively involved with the 800 MHz project activities at the regional, County and city levels. Scott is also the city's emergency preparedness coordinator and brings that important perspective to the radio systems planning and implementation. Scott will have the same phone number I do (763-525-6260) and will have a similar e-mail format once it is established. I will be working with Scott during an initial transfer and transition of duties and responsibilities. I want to thank all of you who endured the tra-~s~t-ion-a-nd W~rk Group processes and the radio "User Survey" to end all user surveys. The results of those many hours of effort and work above and beyond your normal duties will pay off in a new radio system that meets your specific needs and expectations. While the wait for this sYstem has been longer than hoped, the results will have been worth it. The recently completed "beta" testing touched the tip of the capability and capacity of the new system. The system will pose training and user challenges, but once properly trained and comfortable with the use of the new system, I am confident the majority of users will be very pleased.

This watercraft, modeled on the airboat design, has been modified for use on water or ice. It will greatly enhance cold weather rescue operations by allowing the transport of equipment and personnel to the scene in any weather conditions. Previously, ice rescue or recovery operations posed great threat to the safety of the rescuers. Sheriff's Office Turns 150 This Year! The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office will celebrate 150 years of service to the county this year. Hennepin County was actually organized on March 6, 1852, but it was not until October of that year that the first county officials were elected. The first sheriff was Isaac Brown, elected by the overwhelming majority of 71-0. Of course, all elected officials posted the same tally. The electorate has changed a little since then] Sheriff Brown had authority over the first jail, a small wooden structure on the St. Anthony side of the Missis- ~ippi River built for $200. The jail would move twice more before finding a Iongterm home in what is now the Municipal Building on Fifth Street. Last summer, the detention facilities found their newest home in the Public Safety Facility on 4th Avenue. Sheriff Patrick D. McGowan is the 27th Hennepin County Sheriff and will participate in a county wide celebration in March at the historic Stevens House. Watch for listings of county activities throughout the year.

The scenario design unfolded throughout the day at the Metrodome and led participants to additional evidence at an Anoka site. The scenario called for the event to be a "game day" with 56,000 people headed for downtown Minneapolis. Lt. Brian Kasbohm said that the teamwork between the participating agencies worked very well. Incident command for the event was headquartered in the new HCSO Incident Management vehicle. Incident commanders noted the improved commu- nication between agencies during this exercise and cited the importance of training togther to have an opportunity to idem tify potential weaknesses before an actual event. Teams got some real life experience when vendors, unaware of the exercise, showed up on the scene. Six Under Federal Six men were indicted in U.S. Federal Court on December 14 for their role in an alleged Harley motorcycle theft and "chop shop" operation. The indictments came after nearly four years of investigation by Hennepin County Sheriff's Office detectives who had begun to identify an unusual number of motorcycle thefts in Hennepin County. The complex investigation was initiated in 1997 and spear- headed by Detective Chris Omodt. Ultimately, the case involved other law enforcement agencies as well as industry Goin' for the Gold K-9 Bette and handler, Deputy Grant Breems, are in Salt Lake City where they have been requested to be part of the security team for the Olympics.

Your testimony was informative, insightful and reas- suring ..... " Rich Stanek MN State Representative - 1423- 4 ny last column for this newsletter, I wrote about the proactivity of the Hennepn County Sheriff's Office and many other agencies in planning for a disaster like the attack on America, September 11. We were all in a heightened state of alert and were experiencing a na- tional consciousness like no other I had Witnessed. The national pride in our law enforcement, fire and emergency responder professionals was evident ev- erywhere across the country.. But how quickly times cha.nge. The spirally down- ward economy has touched government as well as the private sector. We are faced with the end result of trickle down economics and all Hennepin County de- partments have been informed that we may face cuts to our current 2002 budget with absolutely no relief in sight in the FY 2003 budget. This was a budget at- ready cut to the bone. Certainly, everyone has to do their share in tough eco- nomic times. The Sheriff's OffiCe must continue to aggressively search for every possible economic effi- ciency. at the very same time, September 11 has us all aware of what really would be required to ~heriff, s Reoort respond to a local, large scale disaster and the simple truth is that additional resources and training are badly needed in our county. In emergency planning, many local communities look to the Sheriff's Office to provide a response with equipment and skilled personnel that are not avail- able at the local level. We cannot provide that safety factor with today's economic mandates. I remain equally concerned about our ability to re- spond in Hennepin's 47 communities on a "routine" basis. It is never"routine" when the crisis has struck your neighborhood, but the fact is that we support many local agencies with specialized services on a daily basis. When we experience budget cuts, our abilities to do that are strained to the breaking point. It will take a lot of analysis and serious decision making to determine how best to manage these new, reduced budgets.

That's not to say there and .descriptions in the story lead the reader to beheve that KlSrs have literally taken over the forests. The truth is, there are 16.7 million acres of state forests in Minnesota -- about three times the size of Massachusetts -- providing more than enough space for everyone to Regulations are certainly need- ed to protect the foreSts for ture generations, and they must be enforced. There is a reasonable middle ground and the DNR recognizes that fact. Minnesota needs an effec- tive, designated trail system that is mapped, marked, main- taLned and enforced.

A~,~ ~.., Minnetonka Beach should welcome trail"' I am pleased to see Minnetonka Beach. Mayor Mike Bloom's response to the proposed Dakota Raft recreational trail ("Editorials on trail didn't tell Min- netonka Beach's side of story," Coun- terpoint, Feb. 26). I hope the trail, ff built, would not adversely affect world peace or impact global warming. But if it traverses Min- netonka Beach, it }ust might. If the mayor is worried about wast- Lng tax money, he should take a survey of his city to see if residents agree with the thousands of dollars his city has al- ready spent to fight this trail. Minnetonka Beach is a city that grew up along a railroad corridor. Fifty-ton freight trains ran through the city for more than 100 years, and still some of its residents chose to build their $1 mil- lion homes along its path. Now a bike trail is going to throw this city into disarray? Hardly. If bicycles and baby strollers are a major calamity, I hope your city never has any real problems to deal with. Minnetonka Beach is a beautiful city. It has just one business, a posh country Club. There is no retail area; residents shop in surrounding commu- nities. There are no public boat launches; they go to other towns. Citizens from other communities are not .welcome at Minnetonka Beach's parks, playgrounds or beaches. Special parking permits are required. Good for Minnetonka Beach. It deserves it. Wealth does have its privileges. But sometimes civic virtue has to overcome petty politics. The attempt to exempt Minnetonka Beach's 1.3-mile section of this beautiful 44-mile-long trail is blatant snobbery! Every other city welcomes this trail and the opportunities it will provide to all citizens. If this trail is built around MLnnetonka Beach, wilt Bloom and its other residents promise not to use it? It's time for Minnetonka Beach to stop riding our coattails and start caring about the good of the entire communi- ty. I do not believe Bloom's views are shared by a majority of his constituents. ~ R.P. Meyers, Oron°. Orono city park commissioner.

Also present Parks Director Jim Fackler and Recording Secretary Sue Schwalbe. Absent and excused: Chair Jim Funk and Commissioner Mark Goldberg. Citizens Present: Robert Goodfellow, 1730 Avocet Lane Todd Landon, 1738 Avocet Lane James and Debra Powers, 1791 Resthaven Lane Vice-Chair Eurich called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. 1. APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 17, 2002 DOCK AND COMMONS ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES MOTION by Ahrens second by Jones to approve the January 17, 2002 Dock and Commons Advisory Commission Minutes. MOTION carried unanimously. AGENDA CHANGES NONE 3. PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT: JAMES POWERS, 1791 RESTHAVEN LANE James Powers is requesting an "after-the fact" Public Lands Permit to allow a number of evergreen trees and retaining wall section to remain within Sunset Landing. It appears the builder, Superior Value Homes installed the landscaping elements in the Sunset Landing right-of-way in error, when the new home at 1791 Resthaven Lane was constructed. - 1428- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21,2001 The applicant has expressed his desire for the landscaping elements to remain in the public right-of-way so.as to minimize overflow and runoff from the street and driveway areas as well as to buffer the public landing area from the new residential home. Staff recommends denial of the Public Lands Permit request form James Powers to allow continued placement of the evergreen and retaining right- of-way due to the following issues: 1. As the evergreen trees continue to grow, they will encroach further into the Sunset Landing area thereby impacting access and parking. 2. It appears that the improvements that were installed can be easily relocated on to the applicant's property. There appears to be no public benefit of allowing the landscaping encroachments to continue on the City's property. Staff is in agreement that the tree line helps to provide a separation between Sunset Landing and the subject property and also enhances the visual appearance of the area. This matter was tabled in December 2001 until further information became available which was corner markers indicated on the property. No survey was submitted; however notes and pictures are included in the packet. Commissioner Jones indicated he was at the site and believes the line of trees is on City property including the mailbox and would like to have a survey provided. Parks Director Fackler indicated he located a corner maker on the property and the mailbox is in the corner right-of-way. City Council Representative Hanus questioned the differences between the pictures in the packet and the survey listed in the packet. Parks Director Fackler explained the survey has hand-drawn items and there were not added to after the survey was completed. Staff walked the property and believes the evergreens are clearly 6-7 feet within the Resthaven Right-of-way. - 1429- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21,2001 CommisSioner Ahrens also viewed the site. Thought there was no way of telling the location of the trees. Staff is certain the trees on the right-of-way. City Council Representative Hanus questioned the applicant what kind of trees they are. The Applicant did not know because there were planted by the builder. The Applicant measured by use of flashlights and stated the first 2 trees are about a foot into City property. The third three is only six inches into City property. The two last trees are closest to the water and are 4-5 feet into the City Property. Doesn't feel that the first trees are that far off. But doesn't want to move the three trees. Parks Director Fackler stated the main issue is how far are the trees on City property. This is still the problem. This issue was brought up to the builder at the time the home was built. The builder failed to address this issue and went forward with the sale of this property. Applicant noted the City was aware of this problem before they actually bought, the property. This should have been addressed before they purchased the property. They are very concerned with removing or changing the retaining wall due to water drainage issues. They clean the area constantly and would like everything to stay as is. City Council Representative Hanus questioned what is the impact or the affect to the public access. The curb cut is not wider than the existing improved section of driveway coming in. Does not think the wall affects the access for the public. Vice-Chair Eurich believes this does affect the public for backing up with trailers, etc. He himself has landed boats at this area and it is very difficult. Sees this as an issue to the public. Commissioner Ahrens believes this is suitable for landing small fishing boats. - 1430- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21,2001 Applicant stated there are very good size boats that use this landing and would like to see the curb cut widened because residents are avoiding the far side of the road due to a dip in the side of the property. Parks Director Fackler stated there are five unimproved launches in the City. This one is an unimproved boat launch. This is a neighborhood landing. Repairs have been done as needed. This was never intended to be a major access. This access is in excess of 40 wide and vehicles can park on both sides of the landing. Vice-Chair Eurich stated all the trees are encroaching onto the landing. There still is a problem with the retaining wall however repairs or not we still have a problem with the trees encroaching on the landing. James Powers stated they would be willing to move the two trees closest to lakeshore. The trees, as planted, are in line with the existing trees that are already on the landing. Commissioner Jones believes that applicant should provide a survey so that the Commission can accurately decide where and whose property the trees are located. Vice-Chair Eurich believes the evergreens need to be moved off city property. Keep in mind there is parking on both sides of the landing; therefore this area needs to be kept open. Robert Goodfellow, 1730 Avocet Lane. I have used the landing and consider this a neighborhood landing. Phil Bowman on Finch Lane planted 11 trees on City property on purpose and no one'did anything about it. Why would this be handled differently? This is an improvement to have these trees planted. Why is this-issue any different than the Phil Bowman issue. Parks Director Fackler stated the retaining wall is an obstruction and makes it very difficult to plow. Staff requested the builder take care of this problem. The house was sold before anything was completed. Staff does not want to see time and expense spent on these types of items. Commissioner Jones reiterated the applicant needs to provide a survey so that the Commission can determine how far the trees are on City property. -1431 - Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21,2001 City Council Representative Hanus stated the Commission does have an option to move this forward to the City Council with a condition for the applicant to submit the information requested. Commissioner Ahrens suggested a compromise of the applicant to move the two trees closest to the lake. Debra Powers, Applicant stated they purchased the house the way it stands. Doesn't believe they should have to pay for anything because the City was aware of this problem. Park Commissioner Fackler stated the first time the City was aware of this issue was the end of May 2001 and July 27, 2001, the applicant closed on the house. MOTION by Ahrens second by Hanus, the Docks and Commons Commission recommends approval of the request for a Public Lands Permit provided that the applicants move the two pine trees that are closest to the lake and relocate them onto their own property. Commissioner Ahrens stated this is a compromise with the applicants. City Council Representative Hanus questioned what would happen if no action were taken on this matter in either direction. Accept these trees as City property and only take them down if they become a problem. Staff believes there would be better types of trees than the ones planted and the trees would provide better service elsewhere on the property. It would be easier to move the trees at this time than later as the trees grow. Applicant would like the commission to be reasonable. Some of the trees are much closer to the property line than others. This will not affect the parking. Commissioner Jones reiterated that he still would like to see a survey so that the Commission can make the decision based on the facts of where the property line is in connection to the planting of the trees. - 1432- Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 21,2001 Ayes: Ahrens, Hanus Nays: Eurich, Jones MOTION not carried MOTION by Ahrens second by Jones to forward this Public Lands Permit Application with no recommendation by reason of the Commission will not come to a consensus. MOTION carried unanimously. 4. REVIEW: BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON FLOW CHART/PROCEDURE MANUAL. Commissioner Ahrens recommends tabling of this item until we have a full Commission in March. Commissioner Goldberg should be present. This will be added to the March 2002 meeting. 5. REVIEW: DOCK/SLIP PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES Staff explained the 2002 amount that has been approved by the City Council. This shows the new docks fees as approved by the City Council. The 2001 numbers are not actual they are the approved amount for 2001. 2000 are actual numbers. Commissioner Ahrens requested from staff to have this updated for the March meeting or as soon as the final numbers are available. Requested to have the Finance Director provide a report/breakdown for the 2001 $97,928 number and how that was derived. Staff requested to change the "Multiple Dock License" column to be "Dock License" column. 6. REVIEW: MARCH 2002 AGENDA CALENDAR ADD: Review background information on Flow Chart Procedure Manual. ADD: Review: Dock/Slip projected revenues and expenditures. - 1433 - Minutes of a Meeting of the Mound Advisory Docks Commission February 2 I, 2001 MOTION by Eurich second by Jones, to adjourn the Advisory Docks Commission meeting at 9:10 p.m. MOTION carried unanimously. - 1434- ~na Administrator Lutjen presented his proposed 2002 budget for the marina operations. consisted of seven areas. Page 2 of 5 The budget Projected for the Beach was $21,200. Lutjen reported that the beach had been open the last five years and he and his board were looking very hard at its usage to determine if it should continue. He said it had never been a paying proposition and.they have had problems with zebra mussels. His crew tries to remove the mussels from the wading area each day, as they are sharp. They recommend that swimmers wear aqua socks. Lutjen also noted that 4% of the full-time personnel atthe marina was shown in this department. The Trailer Park totaled $106,010. Twenty percent of his salary, ten percent of the operations manager and five percent of the comptroller's wages were shown in this department plus the salary for one of his seasonal employees. $3,500 was projected for leasing of mowers and $75,000 for fiprapping the point on the southeast side. They plan to build the area up 2-3 feet above the surface of the lawns to break the wave action, which he felt would be an ongoing problem. The Lift budget totaled $63,500. Fifteen percent of the three full-time personnel salaries were shown in this depamnent. $4,500 was shown for the annual taxes on the parking lot leased from Federal Savings and Loan. The Harbor budget totaled $567,815. Fifty percent of his wages, 60% of the operations manager and 75% of the comptroller's wages were shown in this department. Under improvements $80,000 was projected for the former clinic property project assuming the project moves ahead in 2002. Lutjen indicated that they would need to address the storm water drainage on this property also. A discussion followed on the proposed improvement and Dunbar requested that this project be presented to the Council at a future meeting. No expenditures were shown under projects. Security totaled $34,975 with an increase shown under salaries. Lutjen noted that security was necessary on the point and security was at the best it' s ever been with 7 employees. He noted the recent vandalism on the point. Community donations/sponsorships was a new department and $96,000 was projected in this department. $20,000 of funds is given to the municipal swimming pool, $8,000 to the EDA, $55,000 to the City in lieu of taxes and $10,000 was set aside for new play equipment at Hok-Si-La. Lutjen indicated that this expenditure provided good public relations for the marina. A discussion followed on the distribution of the ~ds. It was noted that Council Member Blair had some concerns about the playground expenditure for Hok-Si-La Park. Blair was not opposed to the donation but he felt that the funds could be spent more wisely. total m~na budget was $917,340, Lutjen also reviewed the revenue budgetffiat was projected at $1,413,557. He noted that there would be a 4.5% increase in flip rental and a 15% increase in mobile home leases with those without a view going up 12%. Overnight rentals would increase by 10%. Lutjen noted that this was part of the three-year plan to bring rates up to market. After a review of the rate structure, JOHNSON MOVED FOR THE F~T READING AND PUBLICATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER XHI - 1435- Metropolitan Council Working for the Region~ Plannin~ for the Future March 1, 2002 Ms. Candice Hanson City of Mound 5341 Maywood Rd, Mound, MN 55364-1687 Re: Metropolitan Council Sector Representatives - Tom Goodrum and Robin Caufman Dear Ms. Hanson: The Metropolitan Council provides support to cities within the seven county metropolitan area by providing technical and financial assistance. We are looking for opportunities to make the twin city area one of the best places to live, work, raise a family and do business. With the expectation of one million new residents 'by 2030, it is important that the region is developed responsibly by providing housing, jobs and transportation and preserving our natural resources. This can be achieved when local and regional land use needs are developed cooperatively. The Sector Representative program is established to provide good communication between the Metropolitan Council and the communities we serve. Robin and I are your representatives. We will be serving all of Hennepin County, except for a few of the southeastern cities. (See the attached map.) Tom has over 10 years of land planning experience as a planner for Minnetonka, St. Bonifacius and Carver County. Robin has a master degree in urban and regional planning and over 6 years ofprofessionai community development experience. Our primary responsibility is to keep you informed of regional policies and how these policies can be applied to your city and the regions' prosperity. Other responsibilities include reviewing comprehensive plans and plan amendments; providing technical assistance in developing land use plans, seeking development opportunities that merge jobs, housing and transportation and working with communities to assemble financial resources for projects that support regional goals. We are currently supporting many regional projects in Hennepin County. One such project is the Northwest Corridor Bus Way, which will run between Minneapolis and Rogers, providing new transportation options, housing opportunities and economic development along its route. Another project is the Crow River Initiative, an effort for the improvement of water quality and beautification of the river corridor. We are also working on crea~ting a redevelopment toolkit that would provide assistance to communities that are in the process of pursuing redevelopment. We hope to be meeting with you soon to provide your community with information regarding Rural Issues, Smart Growth initiatives, Blueprint 2030 and the 2000 Generalized Existing Land Use Map, that was recently mailed to you. We have included an advisory bulletin regarding upcoming workshops for the Blue Print 2030. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves, and we hope that you will share this letter with other staff or community representatives. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or would like to discuss a project that you have in your community. Sincerely, :: .

ASSOCIATION OF MInnESOTA BUILDING OFFICIALS February 2002 in Opposition to House File 3518 HF 3518 radically changes the nature of residential construction inspection in~linnesota for no appreciable public gain by removing local municipalities' authority and resp~ty for Construction code enforcement, in the affected residential structures. --b~"--d~eb~ Currently compliance with the minimum standards of the Minnesota State Building C¢ . assured by.a system of highly trained and financially disinterested inspectors accountable as employees to each munieipality'~ state certified building of Hcial. 'These build ing' omeials and inspectors wield impartial law enforcement authority on behalf'o~'.the jurisdictions that employ them, exercising that authority to issue legally binding orders and citations to violators of the building codes. This system of regulation has successfully provided public safety in Minnesota for more than thirty years. HF 3518 would replace this consistent and effective system of residential construction inspection With a patchwork of owner controlled private inspection by inspectors who may or may not be certified by the local municipality as eompetent~ who have no regulatory authority, and who ,serve at the financial whim of the regulated party. Before advancing HF 3518 we recommend that you eQnsider the following questions: The bill presumes all owners want to comply with the building code. Aside from the obvious conflict of interest 'issues, from where will these owner employed private inspectors derive legal authority to require code compliance? Won't the most-lenient private inspectors be in the most demand? Will the mortgage industry lend on properties that haven't had independent inspection? At what cost? , Will builders' liability insurance increase when they're responsible for selecting their own inspectors? What will be the impact on construction costs of the creation of a class of for profl.t private inspectors with their attendant necessity for liability insurance and other overhead costs? Will some municipalities, fearing liability, decline to certify private.inspectors so that any person who desires to can sell inspection services regardless of their competency? Will other municipalities require multiple, trade specific private inspectors to assure competency of inspections? At what additional cost? How will uniformity of inspections and code interpretation be obtained? DOes this supercede the requirement for state licensed electricians to serve as electrical inspectors on the affected structureS? Until the answers t° the preceding questions have been resolved in a way that protects the larger public interest, l~linnesota would be well advised to set aside this attempt to eliminate local government's authority and ability to assure cost effective, impartial public safety inspections in the residential built environment.
