We just received notice from Congressman Jim Ramstad that our
application for a grant for an additional police officer has been
approved by the U.S. Department of Justice. The program is called
COPS FAST. It has made available $75,000, the maximum available
per officer, over three years (or $25,000 per year) to hire an additional
police officer. In the application, the City committed to offset the
cost of that police officer (approximately $15,000-$20,000 each year). This funding
became available under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement
Act of 1994 to speed the deployment of new officers devoted to community
policing on the streets and rural routes in the nation. This application
process was a much simplified one which reduced the amount of time and
effort to actually file an application. Chief Len Harrell and Sergeants
McKinley and Grand axe to be congratulated for the grant application
approval.

Mound City Council Minutes January 24, 1995
MINUTES - MOUND CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 24, 1995
The City Council of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, met in regular session on Tuesday,
January 24, 1995, in the Council Chambers at 5341 Maywood Road, in said City.
Those present were: Mayor Bob Polston, Councilmembers Andrea Ahrens, Mark Hanus, Liz
Jensen, and Phyllis Jessen. Also present were: City Manager Edward J. Shukle, Jr., City Clerk
Fran Clark, City Attorney Jim Larson, City Engineer John Cameron, City Planner Bruce
Chamberlain, Building Official Jon Sutherland, Finance Director Gino Businaro and the
following interested citizens: Donald Anderson, Jim Brunzell, Brad Biermann, Tom Casey,
Todd Rask, K. & H. Wisdom, John Edewaard, John Bessesen, and Dave Laube.
The Mayor opened the meeting and welcomed the people in attendance.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
MOTION made by Hanus, seconded by Ahrens to approve the Minutes of the
Regular Meeting, and the January 17, 1995, Committee of the Whole Meeting, as
submitted. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.1
RKqOLUTION GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL, APPROVAL OF
A PLANNF. D DEVEI~)PMENT AREA BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, LOT
AND STREET DESIGN VARIANCE, SHORELAND VARIANCES AND FINAL
PLAT APPROVAL FOR TEAL POINTE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
City Planner Bruce Chamberlain, explained that at the last meeting there was discussion as to
whether a new EAW was needed for this project. Since that meeting he has spoken to Mr. Greg
Downing of the Environmental Quality Board who informed him that a petition was filed with
the EQB by Mr. John Edewaard of Mound to request that a new EAW be performed for the
project. Mr. Downing indicated that the petition that was filed with the EQB was returned to
the petitioner because it was incomplete. To be sure that this does not become an issue in the
approval of the project, it is staff's recommendation that the City Council review the issue of
the EAW at this meeting before the final plat is addressed.
Mr. Chamberlain stated that the project has not changed substantially since it was approved in
May of 1994 or since the EAW was first completed. The components of the project, as
discussed at the last meeting, that have Changed are:
1. Street width on Windsor Road.
2. The grade on Windsor Road.
1
Mound City Council Minutes
January 24, 1995
He reported that neither of these elements have any kind of environmental impact, positive or
negative, on the project. So the project has not changed. Staff recommends that the City
Council, acting as the RGU, determine there is no material change to the Teal Pointe project and
the decision be passed along to the EQB.
The City Attorney explained that the proposed resolution was prepared by staff and lays out a
factual basis for a conclusion by the City Council that there has been no substantial change in
the proposed Teal Pointe Subdivision, which forms a basis for determining that a new EAW is
not required.
Ahrens moved and Jessen seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION//95-12
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MOUND DECLARING THAT NO
SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE IN THE
PROPOSED TEAL POINTE SUBDIVISION AND
DETERMINING THAT A NEW EAW IS NOT
Mr. Tom Casey asked to be recognized. He asked if there was another change
in the project pertaining to the retaining wail turning south onto Cobden Lane.
The City Engineer stated that this is the same as was originally proposed.
The vote was 4 in favor with Polston voting nay. Motion carried.
The Mayor reiterated the 3 items from the last meeting that are referenced in the proposed
resolution, as follows:
Windsor Road width will be reduced from 28 feet to 24 feet.
The retaining wall will be constructed out of concrete type of material, not steel
sheeting.
Cobden Lane will remain open to the public as an access to the lake and the
Developer will be required to grade that so there is access to the lake.
Councilmember Jensen stated she had some questions regarding Outlot B in the Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of-Teal Pointe Homeowners Association. She stated that
it is her understanding that Outlot B is to be deeded to the City so reference to this Outlot B
should be deleted from this document. The City Attorney suggested that the following be added
or deleted in the document:
1. ADD the following Whereas between the second and third Whereas: "WHEREAS,
33g
Mound City Council Minutes

e
Under Article I, Definitions, B, be amended to read as follows:
B. "Property" shall mean Lots 1 through 9 and Ouflot A, Block 1, Teal Pointe,
Hennepin County, Minnesota, and such additions thereto as may hereinafter be
annexed by amendment to this Declaration."
The description Under Article II, Property Subject to this Declaration, should read as
follows:" .... Lots 1 through 9, Block 1 and Ouflot A Teal Pointe, Hennepin County,
Minnesota."
The Developer agreed with the changes, suggested above, to the Declaration of Covenants
Conditions and Restrictions of Teal Pointe Homeowners Association.
Councilmember Hanus questioned condition 10 in the proposed resolution referring to filing the
plat within 180 days of City Council approval being in conflict with the code which states 60
days. The City Planner stated that the code does say 60 days but because there is some
confusion about what the code actually says, the resolution includes a 180 day time period which
is more a standard with most cities in the metropolitan area.
1.2 Jensen moved and Ahrens seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION/D5-13 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MOUND GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT

BLOCK 2, HIGHLAND SHORFS, PID //23-117-24 34 0075, VARIANCE FOR
ADDITION.
The Building Official explained the request.
There was concern about this addition above the garage creating another dwelling unit. The
Building Official stated the applicant has been notified that the Zoning Code prohibits 2 dwelling
units on the property. He further stated that the addition above the garage will be used for an
office for some time and then it will be converted into a master bedroom and there are no
kitchen facilities. The Planning Commission recommended approval.
The City Attorney stated that he would like to see a. and b. under number 1 deleted because
they do not add anything to the resolution. He stated that it is clear in the proposed resolution
that this is not allowing another dwelling unit on the property and the home occupation section
of the Zoning Code would apply.
The Council asked the applicant if there are plans in the future to have a door from this addition
directly into the primary dwelling unit. The applicant explained that the plans are to eventually
incorporate this addition into the main dwelling unit as a master suite. The Building Official
stated that the applicant has provided additional plans showing the connection. He further stated
that the opening will be roughed in during construction.
The Council agreed to delete a. and b. under item #1.
Hanus moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution:

COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT.
Jim Brunzell, 5111 Windsor Road, commented with regard to Teal Pointe, "That none of my
neighbors stayed, and the reason is that none of them believe that city government works
anymore. That none of you represent us. We believe that you represent... I understand your
fear of being sued by a developer, but you don't have to live next to any project that you
approve, we have to. We work very hard, we pay our taxes, care about our community, send
our kids to your schools, and we want to make it work. I'm not very comfortable with this.
This is very very uncomfortable. Look around they are all gone. Why? They don't believe
in you. They don't think you care. There is something wrong with a city government when the
citizens don't think you care about what happens to us. You care more about what a developer
thinks, what they want to happen in that community and its very, very wrong. We don't think
you listen to us. I think in a small community that is what matters, that you would listen to us
and that we can make a difference. I don't think any of us feel that we make a difference
anymore. So you vote it away, you're going to do what you do and you don't have to live in
that community. You don't have to look at this development, but we do. We're going to pay
taxes on this and we're going to live everyday with this and you can just do what you want to
do and that's fine, but we have to live with it. So if you want to give us the idea that we don't
matter, we don't count, you've done that. We tried to work with the System. We haven't
always been good all the time. We haven't always been great, but that's democracy. So next
time it happens maybe think about that. Think if that was in your backyard. Think about that
you work with us, you work for us, not a developer and let's see what happens."
Councilmember Jensen responded. "I listen to a lot of people in the community, a lot people
who said, I do not want my tax dollars wasted. I don't want to see unnecessary lawsuits so it's
what is in the best interest of the entire community and again I listened to a lot of people who
said don't waste my tax money. I also listened to the people who were here who said, I don't
want a corrugated metal wall in front of my home and therefore we required the road be
narrowed, the grade be increased, so that the wall would not be as high and we required that
it be constructed of materials other than corrugated metal. We also required that they provide
public access and continue to allow the use of Cobden Lane. That was listening to the
comments of the people, who were here, talking to us. I have to live with myself everyday with
the decisions I make for the citizens of this community and it was my decision that the best use
of the dollars that we have in this community were not in an unnecessary lawsuit. So I think
we reached a reasonable compromise. The land is owned by someone who has a right to
develop it and I believe this Council did its best to make sure that the development that occurred
there was a quality development."
Mound City Council Minutes
January 24, 1995
Councilmember Jessen asked that the following be added to Councilmember Jensen response.
"I don't think to say that we are not concerned about the citizens is quite accurate. We certainly
try to be and if we don't always vote for what some would like to have us vote for, we do have
to take the interests of the whole when making any kind of vote. I was also hearing from many
people and I even heard from some neighbors who were in favor of the development. They may
not have been here, but there were some. There were also many people who felt they wanted
to see a development of this type go ahead, that it would be an asset for the community."
Councilmember Ahrens stated, "I would also like to echo what has already been said and just
add one thing. That for me personally, every time I have a variance before me, one of the
questions I always ask myself is, "Whether or not I could live with that if it was right next door
to me?" So one of the things that you pointed out was that you have to live with it and the rest
of you don't. Maybe physically you have to live with it, but in my mind, I always ask whether
or not I could live with that? Could I live with that person having a three story garage next to
me or a cement truck in their driveway or whatever it is that we are giving a variance for."
Councilmember Hanus stated he would like to add one thing to the previous Council comments.
"The issue of listening. I haven't been on the Council this whole time but I've been on the
Planning Commission when things come before that group too and these discussions have been
taking place now for two plus years and you can't say that in all of these discussions, there
hasn't been any listening going on. There's been a lot of back and forth trying to work out
details and work out problems and I just don't think that you can look at two years of
discussions and say that there hasn't been any listening going on."
1.5
RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION FOR
INTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY ACT (ISTEA)
FUNDS RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENTS - 1998-2000.
The City Manager explained that at the Committee of Whole Meeting, he and the City Planner
presented a concept or an idea for the Council to consider. Basically, the Federal government
has started another funding cycle and cities can apply for governmental funds through ISTEA
to do further transportation enhancements to transportation areas. The concept is to construct
a trail from Commerce Blvd. along Auditor's Road and bring it over to Lost Lake and along the
trail have such things as lighting, benches, trash receptacles and making it pedestrian oriented.
Maybe a brick type walkway, to tie in with the "Buy a Brick" suggestion that was made by the
Lost Lake Task Force Strategy team. Based on that idea, the Council felt that it was worth
making the application to the Met Council, which is the agency handling the ISTEA program.
The City Manager further explained that this money would be available for the years 1998
through the year 2000. It would be a project that would total under $500,000, which is the
maximum you can apply for and staff feels that based on the City's track record, it has a good
shot at getting these funds. The proposed resolution authorizing this was presented.
Jessen moved and Ahrens seconded the following resolution:

GENERAL
Let me go through the schedule of the Street Department for 1
year just. touching on the main duties starting with Winter.
SNOW ~ ZCE CONTROL
It's my job to determine when the snow equipment is called
out. I depend on the National Weather Service for information
concerning any weather systems moving is our direction, also
the Police Dept. Most o? the time I'm out and about to
determine what has to be done. When it's icy we sand as soon
as possible but when it snows we like to wait until it's
over if at ali possible. When we plow everyone is out, 4 from
the Street Department., 4 from the Water & Sewer Department,
Jim from the Parks and me. The equipment used is 5 -2 1/2 ton
clump trucks equipped with plow, wing and sanders. 4 - 4X4
pickup trucks equipped with 8' plows. 1-4x4 Blazer with a
6'6" plow to do the sidewalks. We have 11 miles of sidewalks
that we haul the snow away. We use the snow blower, 3 dump
trucks and 2 4x4 for the job.
SPRING WORK
The early part of Spring is when we do our street right-of-
way work, that means we cut brush and trim trees that are
hanging in the street.
The Spring clean-up is a big job, 2 street sweepers, 1
sidewalk broom, 2 trucks and 1 tanker. We sweep everything
in town, 50 miles o± streets, 12 parking lots, 11 miles of
sidewalks and 26 cul-de-sacs. You're looking at 3 to 4 weeks
of work.
From our Spring clean-up work ~.4e move into our street
patching. Our general street maintenance work isn't bad, we
don~t have a lot o{ potholes and cracks to repair. What
takes the time and money is to repair tile watermain breaks
and frostboils. The main breaks have to be cut square,
compacted avid repaved.
STORM SEWER SYSTEM
We have a very large storm sewer system to maintain. I don~t
know hew many miles of pipe we have. I knew we have 3?0
c:atchbasins and 81 sump cat. chbasins. The 370 catchbasins are
cleaned after every heavy rain and the sumps are cleaned in
the Fall.
The City crew maintains and repairs the catc:hbasins~ but. ~,~hen
it comes to repairing the pipe itself we have a contractor
come in for the work. We don~t, have the equipment or
manpower to do it.
U,le did repair two storm set,,er structures at Islanctview Drive
anO ClyOe Road this summer. We aise contracted out two pipe
Laying jobs this year.
SEALCOATING
7his year went pretty well and we finished just one day late
due to rainy ~eather.
SIGN DEPARTMENT
We had ouY- crosst~alks painting by Precision Paving Company.
We had 14 full {aced crosswalks with stop bars done this
year. In 1994 we will Lie giving the crosswalks a little
di{{erent look. I put together a list o{ signs and posts that
were installed and repaired in 93. We also ~ill be looking to
uniform our no parking on streets.
15 - Stop
35 - No Parking
28 - Street sign names 6 - 4 ton axel

3 - Slow Children
5 - Two Hour Parking
6 - Farmers Market
2 - School Zone
3 - Dead End
3 - Crime Watch
2 - No Motorized Vehicles
5 - No Dumping
8 - Public Parking
We straightened 30 posts, installed 107 complete tops and
bottoms, lhe Street crew also puts up the Mound City Days
Banners and puts up and takes down the Flags through out the
year.
~ITUMINOUS ~OAD WORK
lhere was no major repairs this year. We did put down some
extra in some trouble spots.
CEMENT WORK
We also repaired 10 sections of sidewalks on Commerce Blvd,
Shoreline 81vd, and two on Tuxedo 81vd. We will be repairing
about 10 sections per year.
MISC.
In the fall we sweep the streets once and start hauling our
street materials. This includes Class 5, sand fill, rock,
wash sand, etc.
The shared 5t. orase Facility in Mi~netrista is: completed._ We
reeved the piles of material out:. of Lost. Lake in Hevember.
STREET BUDGET
The Street Department had a budget of $397,520.00 for 94. We
spent $371,361.32 for 1994. This was 97~ of the budget.
Public Utilities
Water and Sewer
Public Utilities for the City Of Mound censists of 2
departments. One being klater Distributien and the ether being
Sanitary Sewer. First I ~.get/ld like to start with the Water
Distribution system. The Water Department has 2 1/2 full time
employees, which censists of a supervisor and 2 mair~tenance
empleyees. We sell water to approximately 3250 customers
within the City from 4 city owned welis~ one booster statien,
a cembined storage of 5?5,000 gallons in 3 water towers and
approximately 45 miles of watermain. We are also
interconnected with the City of Spring Park for emergencies
if needed.
I have been with the City of Mound since 1977. I started out
in the Water Department as a maintenance worker. In 1982 l
became the Utilities Superintendent. I am responsible for
maintaining the annual budget of approximately $834,990.00
for 1994, purchases~ scheduling work loads, complaints,
employee evaluations, water inspections for new construction,
sight plan review for new censtruotion and development,
watermain and shut off location, monthly report to State
agencies and safety. In addition to my administration
responsibilities, I also have the same duties as the
maintenance personal do in the Water & Sewer Department.
Bob Shanley works full time in maintenance. Bob has been with
the City since 1967. Bob's job consists of outside reader
installation, repairs and testing. In addition, he handles
servic:e calls: that consists of turn-ohs, turn-offs, final
readings, valve maintenance and repair, watermain breaks and
snow plowing.
Pat Cheney left the City in December. ~4e hope to fill this
spot by the middle o{ February 1995.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
lhe Public: Utilities are operated as a bue;:.ness. Revenues are
generated from the sale of water, meter sales and service
charges:. 'Salaries and benefits ~re paid out of the ~'evenue ~e
receive. Tr~e Utility Departments Mork closely Hith tile
E:ui!ding Inspecto~ and the City ~rlsineer on new censtruc:tien,
new development, utility upgrades er new installation. This
includes site and plan review and inspections along ~sith
discussions with developers.
qhe'~"e are 2 budget prepared for Public Utilities, 1 for Water
alhd 1 1::or 5ewe~'. The Hate]~ Department had a budget of
approxilllately $834,990.00 fo'r 1994. The 5et4er Depsrtment had
~ budget ,:3f apF. reximately $1,3e0,280.00 {o1' 1994. ihs percent

lhe budget then goes to the City Hanager for r6vie~ and
approval. Each budget is then presented te the City Council
by the 5uperintendent~ so the Council Nay ask anF questions
in regard to certain expenditures.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency xequires that the City

years. Each employee is sent to schools at least every 3
years~ in addition they are sent te various 1 dap' schoels~
conferences and conventions. The purpose ef this is te learn
new up to date methods o{ maintenance, and safety procedures.

WATER DEPARTMENT
W~TERMAIN BREAKS
This year we had 24 main breaks. Only four were during normal
working hours. If, that wasn't bad enough, 20 of the breaks
were in the first 66 days of the year. A busy start to the
'year.
WATERTOWER MAINTENANCE
As you know we repainted the tower in the Highlands this
year.
PUMPHOUSE MAINTENANCE
This year was a good year. We had no major problems with the
wells.
WATER METERS
The cities current water meter system has been in since 1977.
ibis is a 2 wire system with .an outside remote that received
a pulse from the register that is inside. We have found that
this is a very un~'eliable way of accounting {or water usage.
Four years ago we purchased lO0 Sensus Touchread meters and
100 Neptune Pre-Mead meters. Test with this new system were
c:ompleted in 1992 and a report was give to the City Manager
with our results. In December we had tile specification
finished and set a bid opening date for January 5, 1994.
Bids were opened and there were some probleNs and both bids
were rejected. The specifications were redone and bids were
opened on March 1, 1994. Schlumberger Industries was awarded
the bid. Installations start on May 16, 1994. The system is
now on line and we a working a few bugs out it. This has cut
our reading and billing tine in half.
HYDRANT MAINTENANCE
This yea~-- we use the same approaches as last year for our
hydrant flushing program. Instead of flushing during normal
work hours I rearranged the shift times to 9:00 p.m. so two
maintenance workers would work from 9:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
for one week in May and eno week in October. This worked very
well, with very few complaints from the employee's or the
customers.

GENERAL COMMENTS
During 1994 the Parks Department was involved mainly with maintaining current
playground equipment and lands. In the past few years, we have seen improvements to
the following parks: Pembroke, Philbrook, Langdon, Belmont, Chester, Tyrone, Seton,
and Three Points. In 1994 a new play structure was installed at Mound Bay Park. This
structure was installed by the Minnesota Tree Trust Work Program at no cost to the City
of Mound. I have had calls of appreciation and compliments for this new play
equipment.
We still are looking forward to doing planning for other parks that are in need of
alterations, they are Dundee, Swenson, Highland, Doone, Edgewater, and Crescent
Parks. Of these parks, Crescent, Doone and Edgewater have none. Swenson and
Highland have equipment reaching their need for replacement. Not all of these parks
require a play structure, at Crescent and Doone the plan could be to keep the areas
natural but provide paths and benches.
Parks Department 1994 Annual Report
Along with development, maintenance for the parks must be planned. Maintenance
and upkeep of the parks is a major ingredient for their success. Regular mowing, leaf
removal, litter pick up and periodic repairs are unavoidable aspects of these Parks and
generally take up the most hours over the year. These improvements and maintenance
will provide a visual commitment that the City of Mound has a dedication towards
community development.
Having moved into the Island Park Garage in 1989, we began to make
improvements to the building by following the improvements recommended in a 1987
engineering report for remodeling and repairing the garage. In 1990 a new roof was put
on, in 1991 the electrical was updated, new garage doors were added, and the exterior
of the building was painted. The major repairs for 1994 and 1995 were taken out of the
budget due to budget restraints, but are still needed. We were able to have the inside of
the building painted at a low cost due to labor being provided by Hennepin County
Corrections. Other repairs needed, are: replacing of the concrete in front of the building,
grounds repair around back side of the building which would include a retaining wall, and
a drain system to keep water out of the building.
SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM
Currently, the City of Mound is sponsoring a summer recreation program that lasts
six weeks, from mid-June through the end of July. A program supervisor oversees a
schedule of events at five parks; Belmont, Swenson, Philbrook, Highland, and Three
Points, where there is a Park Leader and an assistant to carry out the daily program.
The 1994 program continued its arts and crafts, games, and special events for a broad age
of children, and saw smaller parks receiving visits from the recreation staff to provide
an opportunity for them to get involved in the program.
This program is accomplished by co-sponsoring a program with Westonka
Community Services. The basic concept is a program, still offered in the neighborhood
park, but utilizing the Community Services special facilities, such as the indoor pool or
gym, and co-offering events or field trips.
This type of approach will offer a great deal of flexibility to a wide variety of age
groups. The programming will represent their special interests and allow for expansion
over the years.
An added attraction has been "Music in the Parks" that was organized in 1993 and
will continue in 1995, and the Parks staff has also assisted in special events, including
Mound City Days, Around Mound Run, and Winterfest.

In the past two years we have seen this budget item under Projections due to the
cool or rainy weather allowing the beach to be closed.

Parks Department 1994 Annual Report
MUNICIPAL CEMETERY
The Mound Cemetery was established in 1884 and operated under an association
until 1944, when the cemetery was turned over to the City of Mound. There are three
divisions, A and B are the old sections to the west and the new section C, to the east.
Currently, the grounds are maintained by a seasonal employee. He supplies his
own equipment and is paid for time and machinery. The Park Crew helps when
requested for projects that are larger in nature than the daily upkeep. The fertilization
and weed control is done though a contract with a lawn care company.
At the beginning of 1993, due to the retirement of Geno Hoff, Street
Superintendent, I assumed most of the responsibility for the Cemetery. This has been,
in general, an easy adjustment except for burials in the oldest area, Section A. Some of
the early burials did not have exact placements and one must have extreme caution when
doing any work there.
A 1990 a survey comparing plot fees at the Mound Cemetery with other municipal
and private cemeteries was updated in 1993. The last fee change was done in 1989. The
current fees are listed below:
Adult, resident $200
Adult, nonresident 400
Baby, resident 100
Baby, nonresident 150
Ash Burial *
* No additional charge if plot is purchased as a single burial, $25 charge
if ash burial is placed on top of a casket burial.
A "resident" for the plot fee is defined as, "An individual to be interred is a
current resident of the City of Mound at the time of his/her death, or at the time of
purchasing his/her grave site."
The operation of the cemetery is at a break even with income from the sale of
plots. The current level of maintenance at the cemetery needs to be upgraded to aid in
providing a more attractive setting. This could be done through irrigation, and fencing.
HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVAL
As of December 31, 1994, the yearly total of hazardous tree removals from City
property were 29 trees removed, 3 stumps chipped, and a number of limbs trimmed that
posed a hazard. From private property under forced removal, 1 was taken.
Parks Department 1994 Annual Report
Diseased and hazardous trees are removed on a complaint basis. When a
complaint is received an inspection of the tree is done to determine the need of removal
and the ownership. City owned trees are removed by a contractor as soon as possible,
while private trees are removed in accordance with City Ordinances. Private trees not
removed in the grace period allowed, are forced removed. The cost of a forced removed
tree is billed to the property owner. If this bill is not paid, it is then attached to their
property taxes.
WEED NOTICES
In 1994, fourteen (14) weed notices sent for unkept grounds. Of these 14, one
owner did not comply and a contractor had to be hired to perform the work. The cost
of mowing incurred by the City was then billed to the owner. If the owner did not pay,
the cost was assessed to their taxes.
MUNICIPAL DOCK SITES
The Municipal dock site system is made up of approximately 4.5 miles of lake
shore, providing 445 dock sites. The Dock Inspector works under the direction of the
Park Director. His main duties are the processing of dock applications, inspections of
the dock sites, notification of the discrepancies to permit holders, and an informational
source for the general public and City.
In 1994 the dock fund showed a balance of $98,320. This balance will allow for
future improvements to the docks program where we have seen cost of dredging and
shoreline repairs increase dramatically over the past years.
In 1994 we supervised riprapping and restoration projects as noted below:
City Projects on Public Lands
Compensatory fill requirements for Minnehaha Creek Watershed for
restoration work at two boat house sites on Devon Commons and a storm
drain at Wren Road.
Riprapping of 600 lineal feet of shoreline on Wiota Commons by City staff.
Riprapping of 100 lineal feet of shoreline on Devon Commons by a
contractor.
Restoration of boat house removal site at 4729 Island View Drive (Munson
site).
Installation of stairways to City dock site locations on Devon Commons and
Wiota Commons.

All of these projects require permits through the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The City must provide an
application for each site and enclose engineering when required. I have noted that more
engineering is being required now than in the past. The permitting departments are
becoming more site specific than allowing a general drawing based on the Minnesota
Department of Transportation specifications.
Since 1991, City staff has put in a considerable amount of time in updating
encroachments on public lands. This process is scheduled to go through mid-1996 and
will provide direction on how these lands will be used in the future.
DEPOT AND ISLAND PARK BUILDINGS
The Depot building had no improvements in 1994, this limitation is due to
financing which has been, in part supplied by government subsidies that are no longer
available. Currently, there is still work that needs to be done, i.e. repair or
replacement of exterior siding, soffits, fascia, and updated bathrooms to allow handicap
accessibility.
The facility is being used for meetings of local organizations and for rental by
private individuals for parties. Response from these users has been positive. Future
improvements at the Depot will reinforce the depot as an asset to our City.
Parks Department 1994 Annual Report
The Island Park building is not being used and has had the water, heat and
electricity turned off. This facility is currently being used as a storage area for Police
Department supplies, and the main hall will only be opened duEng elections for voting.
Only minimum maintenance is being performed on this building. There is a need for
updating, but use demand does not, at this time, justify the expenditure.
CITY HALL MAINTENANCE/JANITORIAL
The Parks Department is responsible for some areas concerning city hall
maintenance and janitorial services. The grounds, lawn care and snow removal are
seasonal, while responsibilities for heating/air conditioning are year round. All projects
within the capabilities of the park staff are performed. This has been in the areas of
repairs to plumbing, heating and related equipment.
Major repairs or cleaning services are contracted out through the direction of the
Parks Department. Currently, we have a contract service for janitorial, carpet cleaning
and the heating and air conditioning systems. Other projects have been assigned to the
Parks Department as instructed by the City Manager.
CITY OWNED RETAINING WALLS
Upon the retirement of the Street Superintendent, I assumed the responsibility of
the retaining walls on street right-of-ways. The cost of work done in 1994 and projected
for 1995 is as follows (note Exhibit C):
1994 repairs
1994 replacements
1994 insurance
$ 1,310
10,858
50
1995 scheduled replacements (two walls) 20,420 est.
1995 five sites scheduled for repair 1,500 est.
All of the replacement walls have been composed of concrete block. This type of
construction has been done at a less or equal cost of wood or stone and will last much
longer.
The walls that have received work are only a reaction to immediate problems, and
generally from a complaint or hazard.
In the past, it is my understanding that a budget of $10,000 is alotted for each
year. I feel this is a low dollar amount and does not allow an ability to. complete work
that is needed. This you can see from the 1995 scheduled wall replacement estimated
cost for only two walls at $20,420. A budget figure of $20,000 per year would allow a
progressive approach to this problem.

2415 Wilshire Blvd. Mound, Minnesota 55364
February 9, 1995
Every year seems to provide Mound.Fire Department with a little more
to do. 1994 was n° exception.
The total number of cal.~s reached 632, a 5% increase over 1993.
Total recorded hours served was 15,979. This number reflects the
hours spent on calls, in-house training, and maintenance time spent
on the station and equipment. The true hours served are actually
more because this does not reflect the hundreds of volunteer hours
spent in outside training, the numerous meetings throughout the year,
our annual Fish Fry, standing by at Mound City Days, high school
football games, youth hockey games, Winterfest, Memorial Day parade,
etc.
The committment level for each firefighter continues to increase each
and every year. I can't tell you how proud I am of this organization
and its ability to meet the new challenges. In 1994, the
firefighters met the challenges and were able to come in under the
projected budget.
With the multitude of hours spept on Fire and Rescue, the Mound
Firefighters still found time to continue upgrading and remodeling
the station. Painting of the building was completed including the
back side and all outside trim, The kitchen, hose tower, and radio
room all received a face lift. All the bad windows on the north and
east side of the building were replaced with new and more energy
efficient units. As a side note, the windows on the east side were
donated by a firefighter.
The Truck Committee is in the final stages of completing specs for a
new pumper and tanker. The committee members have spent many, many
hours' determining the best and most cost effective way of acquiring
replacements. I feel they have done an outstanding Job of
determining our needs and staying within the budget the city manage~
has outlined for us.
Both the Bylaws and Standard Operating Guidelines Committees have
spent much time making the needed updates to meet our changing times.
2415 Wilshire Blvd. Mound, Minnesota 55364
During the course of the year, we held a retirement party for six
fireflghters. It was a grand event and a great tribute to over 129
years of combined service. Don Bryce, Ron Marschke, Jerry Garvais,
Jerry Babb, Bill Swenson, and Brad Landsman will all be missed around
the station. Three new firefighters were added to the department in
1994. As of the date of this letter, we are interviewing for one
open position.
Our year was basically accident-free on the Fire and Rescue. Except
for a few small bumps and scratches, there were no significant
injuries during emergency responses.
There continues to be a need for a full or Dart-time fire marshal or
fire officer to attend to the numerous requests for fire inspections,
investigations, new building plan reviews, and miscellaneous
inquiries regarding fire and emergency safety. We are also being
called on by our contract cities more and more to assist with a
variety of issues including new construction, code violations, and
installation of fire hydrant systems, to name only a few. Our fire
marshal, Mike Palm, does as much as he can on week nights and
weekends. Because he is a full-%ime fire marshal in Farmington, he
is unavailable during usual business hours. I have attempted to held
Mike during weekdays; however, I must also work .my full-time job as
well as attend to the daily op6ration of the fire department.
We will continue to do what we can with the 'time avalible, however
the need for full or Dart time personal increases yearly.
As we move into the 21st century, it is becoming more.challenging to
provide the training required to meet the future's demands. Among
the efforts made in meeting this need is the acquisition of a
complete curriculum to assist our officers with in-house training.
Further, we are closely monitoring outside training opportunities to
maximize our avaiable time and funds.
Mound Fire and Rescue has always been a leader in the fire and rescue
service and we will continue to improve to meet the needs of the
future.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen C. Erickson

FIRE MARSHALS REPORT 1994
EVERY YEAR THE MOUND FIRE DEPT. EXPERIENCES MORE CALLS THAN THE
YEAR BEFORE. FIRE INSPECTIONS AND FIRE PREVENTION ARE NOW BEING
NEGLECTED TO THE POINT THAT I CALL IT A SHAME.
JERRY BABB HAS RETIRED AND I AM WORKING FULL TIME FOR THE CITY OF
FARMINGTON AS THEIR INSPECTOR. THE CITY OF FARMINGTON COVERS A
POPULATION OF ABOUT 7000 AND ABOUT 2000-OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. THE
MOUND FIRE DEPT. COVERS ABOUT 30,~000 TOTAL POPULATION FOR ITS ~IRE
COVERAGE AREA. WE HAVE OLD BUILDINGS AND MANY CODE COMPLIANCE THAT
IS BEING NEGLECTED BECAUSE I CAN'T GET INTO THEM ON WEEK NIGHTS OR
WEEK ENDS, WHEN I CAN DO THE INSPECTING.SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE
BEFORE WE HAVE A TRAGEDY WITH ANYONE WHO ENTERS THESE BUILDING IN
THE CHANCE OF FIRE. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS YOU
FIND IN THESE BUILDINGS. I' FEEL THAT WE HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT
THERE HAVE BE'EN NO REAL TRAGIC EVENTS LATELY, AND I HOPE THAT WE
DON'T LOSE A FIRE FIGHTERS IN ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS OR A PRIVATE
CITIZEN.
I THINK THAT THE CITY OF MOUND, SPRING PARK, MINNETRISTA AND ORONO
COULD COME .UP WITH A WAY TO MAKE THEIR COMMUNITY SAFER.
PERMIT FEE'S FOR SPRINKLERS OR ANY OF PERMITS REQUIRED ON PAGES 18
& 19 OF THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE 1991 AND WHAT OTHER PERMITS THAT THE
CITY WOULD LIKE TO CHARGE FOR COULD ALSO HELP IN THE COST.OF A FIRE
MARSHAL. '
MOST OF THE WORK I DO FOR THE MOUND FIRE DEPT. IS NOW BEING DONE
BY PHONE AND FAX. I STILL AM ABLE TO RESPOND TO MOST OF THE
REQUEST BEING ASKED OF ME.IN THE EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS AND I HAVE
ALSO TAKEN SOME SICK LEAVE TO DO SPECIAL REQUEST BECAUSE OF THE
SCHOOL REMODELING THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE MOUND SCHOOL DIST.
THIS IS NOT FAIR TO ME OR THE CITY OF FARMINGTON. I HAVE ALSO LOST
TIME BECAUSE OF FIRE INVESTIGATIONS. AS THE FIRE COVERAGE AREAS
KEEP GROWING IN POPULATION AND BUSINESSES KEEP EXPANDING AND STATE
MANDATES KEEP GETTING MORE INTENSE THE NEED IS HERE FOR SOMEONE TO
KEEP ON TOP OF IT.
AGAIN WE ARE DOING WHAT COMES UP AND WHAT HAS TO'BE DONE RIGHT AT
THAT MOMENT, AND I AM GUILTY FOR NOT DOCUMENTING EVERYTHNG THAT I
DO, OR WHAT JERRY DID. AGAIN ITS THE TIME, NOT ENOUGH OF IT TO DO
IT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. YOU HAVE A GOOD DEPARTMENT AND ALOT OF
DEDICATED OFFICERS, BUT WE ARE A VOLUNTEER DEPT.THAT SPENDS~A GOOD
20 HOURS A WEEK OR MORE UP THERE.
INSPECTIONS FOR ALL CITIES - 550 HOURS
FIRE INVESTIGATIONS 50 HOURS
FIRE PREVENTION EDUCATION 50 HOURS

WESTONKA SCHOOLS 175 HOURS
2415 Wilshire Blvd. Mound, Minnesota 55364
FIRE PREVENTI6N
FIRE PREVENTION IN THE SCHOOLS IS ANOTHER VERY BIG PORTION THAT IS
NOT BEING DONE THE WAY IT USE TO BE. ONLY'A COUPLE OF CLASSES ARE
BEING EOVERED MAINLY FROM SHIRLEY HILLS FOR THE ONLY REASON THAT
IT IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET AND NOT ENOUGH FIREFIGHTERS THAT WANT
TO GET INVOLVED IN TEACHING.
THE LAST 2 YEARS HILLTOP, OUR LADY OF THE LAKE, CALVARY MEMORIAL
SCHOOLS HAVE NOT HAD ANY FIRE PREVENTION TAUGHT TO THEM. I HOPE
THE TEACHERS ARE TAKING TIME OUT FOR THIS IMPORTANT ASPECT TO LIFE.
I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE TIME OFF FROM MY JOB IN FARMINGTON TO
MAKE SURE FIRE 'PREVENTION WEEK WAS BEING TAUGHT TO OUR KIDS IN
MOUND AND OUR FIRE COVERAGE AREA.
CHIEF STEVE ERICKSON AND LT. KEVIN SIPPRELL WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO
CAME TO THE STATION FOR TOURS DURING FIRE PREVENTION WEEK. KEVIN
ALSO TOOK THE LADDER TRUCK TO OUR LADY OF THE LAKE AND TO'DAY CARE
AT TH'E COMMUNITY CENTER AND HEAD START.
I HAD MET WITH A'FEW FAMILIES THAT EITHER CALLED OR SOMEONE HAD A
CONCERN, TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT PLAYING 'WITH MATCHES AND IS
INFATUATED WITH FIRE. WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT FILM.ABOUT CHILDREN
PLAYING WITH FIRE AND TALKING TO THEM AND TEACHING THEM 'HAS MADE
AN IMPACT ON THEM. THANK GOODNESS THERE ARE CARING FAMILIES THAT
ARE CONCERNED FOR THEIR KIDS SAFETY ALONG WITH THEIR OWN SAFETY.
I THINK IF THE PARENTS KNEW OF THIS [ILM AND THE TALK I DO TO THEM,
WE WOULD BE GETTING A LOT MORE CALLS OF THIS. BUT WITH OUT THE
PROPER EDUCATION THAT SHOULD BE DONE, AGAIN THE CITIZENS GET
NEGLECTED.
CHILDREN PLAYING WITH FIRE RESULTED IN 3.8 MILLION PROPERTY LOSS
IN 1993. (WE DO NOT HAVE THE FIGURES FOR 1994 YET) 73% OF
CHILDREN FIRE PLAY FATALITIES WERE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 8!
FIRES INVOLVING CHILDREN PLAYING WITH FIRE FOR 1993, IN MINNESOTA -
FIRE 538, DEATHS ll,'CIVILIAN INJURIES 43, FIREFIGHTERS INJURED
8; DOLLAR LOSS $3.8 MILLION.
DELIBERATELY SET FIRES ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF SCHOOL FIRES. THE
PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF WORKING SMOKE DETECTOR IN DWELLINGS IS A
CRITICAL FACTOR IN FIRE FATALITIES. THE MAIN REASON IS RENTAL
HOUSING, APTS ETC. WERE NO ONE INSPECTS DETECTORS!~t!
2415 Wilshire Blvd. Mound, Minnesota 55364
MOUND FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
DAVE CARLSON - PRESIDENT
During 1994 the Mound Fire Department Relief Associationwas in transition
as we changed investment management from First Trust to Prudential Securities.
The Board had seen diminishing service from First Trust for the period since
Marquette Bank hadbeen purchased as well as investment direction that was
inconsistent with previous reconm]endations from Marquette Bank. Prudential
Securities was selected based upon its Program designed for Fire Department
Relief Associations as well as the variety.of investment options available,
to allow diversification of investments.
The Board decided to join MARAC (Minnesota Area Relief Association) to keep
current on investment issues, to monitor legisSative activities, and to take
advantage of training opportunities. With increasing reporting requirements
from the State Auditor's Office and the Legislature, ~iARAC has been active
in understanding how to complete these new reports and attempting to minimize
duplicative reporting. MARAC has proved to be a more aggressive organization
in comparison to the State Fire Department Association and has been fairly
successful in presenting our viewpoints at the State level.
Once end of the year financial results are available, the Board will be conducting
an acturial study with Bordwicke & Associates. It is hoped that this study
can be used to increase the pension benefit which was last increase in 1992.

1994 ANNUAL REPORT
Personnel Roster:
Francene C. Clark/Leisinger, City Clerk - 8-10-81
Linda Strong, Secretary/Receptionist - 8-5-85
Linda and I report directly to the City Manager. The City Manager and I share Linda's time.
She is the receptionist first. Ed has her doing secretarial duties and I have her helping me in
various areas. Linda has taken the Minnesota Clerks' Institute program. This is a 100 hour
course put on by the University of Minnesota Continuing Education and she received her
certificate in July, 1989.
RECORDING OF COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
There were 23 regular City Council Meetings in 1994. In addition there was the Local Board
of Review and Budget Hearing. That totals 25 meetings. From these meetings 603 pages of
minutes were generated for Council review and approval. Agendas are prepared by the City
Manager. I then input the Agenda into the computer. The Agenda material is then put in order,
attached, and numbered. Linda then runs the packets on the Xerox and directs the packets to
the proper people. We send agendas to all people who have items on the agenda, highlighting
the item pertaining to them.
prmted on recycled paper
After the Council Meetings there are items that need to be followed up, such as contracts signed
and sent to the proper people, directives from the Council that need to be attended to and routine
items that need to be resolved. These items many times are 4 to 6 hours of work after a
meeting. That does not include preparation of the minutes and the resolutions.
I did not have time in 1994 to micro-film the Council packets. This is handy when used in
conjunction with the Clerk's Index Program. I have all of years from 1989 to 1994 on the
computer. This has eliminated the need to index all the City Council actions on 3 x 5 cards
manually.
MAINTENANCE OF ORDINANCE BOOK
An ordinance is a law of local application, enacted by the City Council, which prescribes a
general and permanent rule for persons or things within the City. This is distinguished from
other types of regulations or actions which are undertaken by resolution or motion. Resolutions
or motions generally regulate administrative or temporary actions as opposed to a permanent
law.
An ordinance becomes effective upon its adoption by the City Council and publication in the
official newspaper. Therefore, as soon after a Council meeting as possible, ordinances are
published. After publishing, the new ordinance has to be integrated into the ordinance book in
the correct area.
There were 7 ordinances adopted in 1994.
68-1994
An Ordinance Amending Section 300:10 of the Mound City Code by
Adding Subd. 5 Requiring the Completion of Structures within a Specified
Period of Time.
69-1994
An Ordinance Amending Portions of Section 350:310; Section 350:1220;
and Section 350:1225 of the Mound City Code Relating to Shoreland
Management.
70-1994
An Ordinance Amending Section 155:35 of the City Code Relating to
Salaries of Mayor and Council Members.
71-1994
An Ordinance Amending Section 350:645, Subd. 1, Relating to
Consistency with the Shoreland Provisions in Section 350:1225, Subd.
6(B) 1.
72-1994
An Ordinance Amending Section 540:00 Subd. 3 of the City Code
Relating to Sewer Rates; and Amending Section 540:00, Subd. 13, a. &
b. of the City Code Relating to Water Rates.
73-1994
An Ordinance Amending Sectio 520 of the City Code Relating to the Fee
Schedule for Processing Fire Suppression Permits; the Reformatting of
Subdivision Numbers; and Clarification of the Subdivision Entitled
"Surcharges", Subd. 1.g.
As Chapters in the City Code are amended,
Chapter. This will make revisions much
completed in 1994 so the entire City Code
I am putting these on the computer, a disk for each
faster than typing whole pages. This project was
i~in the computer.
In 1992, I started and completed a project that I have wanted to do for a long time. I took all
the ordinances and amendments that have ever been adopted by the City of Mound since its
incorporation and cross referenced them to the current code where possible. This was all done
on my Rapid File Program. Now we have a history for each section of the Code. This will
help when someone wants to know when a particular part of an ordinance was adopted. I have
continued to update this project with new ordinances as they are adopted or amended.
MAINTENANCE OF RESOLUTION BOOK
A resolution is somewhere between a motion and an ordinance. A resolution deals with matter
of a special, administrative or temporary nature and is put in resolution form because of its
importance or length. In 1994, the City Council adopted 157 resolutions. These are all
composed, typed, signed and kept in resolution books. Each resolution is then categorized and
indexed by subject and number in order to make them easier to find at a later date. This
catagorizing is now done with the Clerk's Index. Copies of the resolutions are given to the
various departments when they pertain to their area. I also certify resolutions to be recorded
at Hennepin County if required.
PUBLIC NOTICES
This office arranges for the publication of official and legal notices for such things as public
hearings, changes in meeting dates for the City Council, ordinances, and any other items that
are required by State Statutes or that the Council or City Manager feel should be in the official
newspaper.
Some public notices (vacating of streets, etc.) must also be posted in 3 public places. The Park
Dept. handles the posting and fills out the posting affidavit.
Some bids come through my office and are advertised according to State Statute. Some of the
specifications for bids for equipment are laid out and prepared by me with input from the
specific department head requesting the item.
3
LICENSES & PERMITS
The City of Mound issued 53 licenses or permits for different purposes in 1994. This accounted
for approximately $7,840.in revenues. This process changed in 1992, with one less person in
the Finance Dept., I took over ail licensing duties. I spent a considerable amount of time in the
administration of the licenses and permits, i.e. notices and renewai forms are sent before they
expire; when the renewai application is received it and the insurance papers must be gone over
to be sure they are correct; the payment receipt is made out; the names submitted to the Council
for review and approvai; the license issued and sent to the applicant. Then there are aiways the
applicants who wait until the last minute or have to be coaxed to get their applications and fees
in before expiration. I have inputted aiot of the license information into the computer. I am
aiso generating the licenses on the computer which will save money for the forms and time by
not having to redo ail of them every year, just changing dates, license numbers, etc.
PUBLIC INFORMATION
I have found being City Clerk that people expect me to be the local expert in everything from
utility costs to the legaiity of the latest zoning fracas. In attending State and Internationai
conferences I find that most city clerks are used as an information source by local citizens. I
try to stay informed as to what is going on in ail aspects and departments of the City so that if
I cannot answer a question for a citizen at least I can direct them to the proper person for an
answer.
What comes aiong with public information is research into various items that people have
concerns about.
RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Records Management is a function concerned with the creation, processing, maintenance,
protection, retrievai, retention, preservation and disposition of records required in the operation
and continuance of city operations. The objective is to save space, money and time.
The City owns a microfiche recorder (camera), film processor and a dry ink reader/printer. We
have been using this equipment for Police records that must be kept and require too much space;
for ail old permanent records of the City Council i.e., resolutions, minutes, etc. Unfortunately,
there was no time to do this in 1994.
4
TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY
In 1994, I dealt with 6 tax forfeit parcels of land. These were all put on hold so that the Park
& Open Space Commission could complete their Nature Conservation Area Study. That has
now been completed and sent to the Council for their approval. The Council decided to look
at the parcels recommended by the POSC in the Spring of 1994. Therefore no action was taken
on the 6 parcels. One parcel that was released previously for sale to adjoining property owners
was taken back for conservation purposes.
0 - parcels were released to sale to adjoining property
owners;
1 - parcel was conveyed to the City for park/wetlands,
drainage, or unbuildable;
0 - parcels were released for public auction;
Hennepin County notifies us of property within the City that has gone tax forfeit because of
nonpayment of real estate taxes. They also periodically ask about property we have taken for
a public purpose to insure that we are using it for that public purpose. The County asks that we
inform them of what we would like done with the property i.e., allow the parcels to the sold at
public auction; require that they be sold only to adjoining property owners if they are undersized
or do not meet the zoning and building codes; or retain them for some public purpose. There
is a considerable amount of research that must be done to determine what should be done with
the property.
The first step is to go to the tax books and get a property description. Then the property jacket
is pulled and its contents examined to see if the property was taken for a public purpose or is
a new tax forfeit parcel.
The next step is to figure the square footage of the property and look at the current zoning
district to determine if it is a buildable lot or not. After all this information is determined, it
is all put on a sheet, a plat map showing the property is made and sent to the City Engineer,
Park Director, Street Superintendent, Sewer & Water Superintendent, Building Inspection and
Finance Director for their comments and recommendations. Occasionally, an easemem is
needed for utility purposes; a survey may be needed to determine if part of the property is in
the wetlands; or there may be reasons for the City to retain the property.
The Special Assessment Clerk in the Finance Dept. determines if there are any assessments from
before forfeiture or since forfeiture that need to be put back on the property. The reason we
need to know assessments before and since forfeiture is that the City gets 90 % of the purchase
price to apply to assessments from before forfeiture. The assessments since forfeiture are added
in their entirety to the appraised value (determined by the Hennepin County Assessor) of the
property. In 1984, the City Council adopted a resolution (//84-94, copy attached) setting a
policy on assessments placed on undersized tax forfeit property before forfeiture. This has
helped to encourage adjoining property owners to purchase undersized parcels and combine them
with their property.
In 1987 I completed a card index by Property Identification Number for the following:
City owned property;
Tax forfeit property that has been retained by the City for a public purpose;
Tax forfeit property that falls into the following categories:
a. Property released for public sale;
b. Property for sale only to and combined with adjoining property.
Each card has a PID (property identification number), plat and parcel, legal description, status
(what it is, park, wetlands, tax forfeit, etc.), whose name it is in (State Land Dept. or City of
Mound or both), any resolutions dealing with the parcel (resolution number and disposition).
I have now completed coordinating the Certificates of Titles, State Deeds, easements, etc. and
recorded that type of information on each card also. This card file, is now complete and is
being kept up-to-date. It has already proved to be a very valuable tool when someone calls in
to check on a parcel of land.
Since we started dealing with tax forfeit property in 1982:
39 parcels have been put up to public auction;
37 parcels were retained for a public purpose; and
83 parcels have been authorized to be sold to and combined
with adjoining properties;
5 temporary construction easements were reconveyed.
Of the above, 34 parcels of the 39 have been sold at public auction and 48 of the 79 parcels
have been sold to adjoining property owners to be combine with their property. I think this
shows how this process is working to the city's advantage to get parcels back on the tax rolls
and increase conformance to the zoning ordinance.
We now have a computer program called Rapid File and I am trying to get all this information
on tax forfeit property into the computer. I will continue to work on this during 1992.
In 1994, 4 parcels were forfeited. Three of the parcels were waterfront property and are
protected by the DNR which means that they are not for sale and cannot be sold. The fourth
parcel only is primarily wetlands with only about 60 or 70 feet between the road the the
wetlands.
6
OTHER DUTIES/RF~PONSIBILITIES
BUDGET:
In 1994, the inputting of all budget pages was done for all departments. This included all
figures for 1994 and inserting all proposed 1995 figures. There was also preparation of the
Election Budget and joint work with the City Manager on the City Council Budget and the
Manager/Clerk Budget.
CEMETERY
In 1988, I officially took over the Mound Union Cemetery records. In 1994, there were 15
burials and 8 graves were sold. In 1989, I used the Rapid File program in my computer and
inputted all the information from each division of the cemetery. All the information came off
the cemetery cards which were checked and cross-checked. This now allows us to instantly
locate people by name, owner of the grave, or lot and grave number. There are three divisions
and each is separate on the computer. I have a book that I update every few months. It took
a considerable amount of time to do this but I feel it has really cut down on the paper work.
We had new cemetery maps made up at the end of 1994 to include all new information.
FIRE CONTRACTS
The Fire Department keeps track of all fire reports for each contracting city. The fire reports
are all listed according to the City and the number of fire/rescue hours. In 1992, there were
mutual aid hours which are divided equally between the contracting cities. The Fire Contract
Material is figured on a combination percentage of assessed value and a 3 year average of
fire/rescue hours for each contracting city. That percentage is then used on:
Ae
B.
C.
D.
Operating Costs
Capital Outlay
Fireman's Relief Fund
Fire Truck Payments
In 1994, the fire hours breakdown is as follows:
ACTUAL EQUAL
CONTRACTING FIRE/RESCUE MUTUAL AID
CITY HOURS + HOURS = TOTAL
PER--AGE
Minnetonka
Beach 414 + 39 = 453 3.58%
Minnetrista 1175 + 39 = 1214 9.61%
Orono 1305 + 39 = 1344 10.64%
Shorewood 95 + 39 = 134 1.06%
Spring Park 1553 + 39 = 1592 12.60%
Mound 7861 + 39 = 7900 62.51%
TOTAL 12403 + 234 = 12637 100.00%
These hours will be integrated into the 3 year average when the 1996 contract material is
figured.
Part of the formula for figuring the fire contracts was to use the total assessed value of the fire
area in a community. This changed a few years ago from assessed value to market value, which
did not change the percentages much but required some language change in the original fire
contracts and at the same time this was done some other changes were made to update the
contract for each fire contracting city.
EMPLOYEE SUPERVISION
The City Manager and I supervise the Secretary/Receptionist, Linda Strong. As I stated in the
beginning of this report, Ed and I share Linda's time. Linda is first and foremost the
receptionist who answers the phone anywhere from 60 to 80 times a day, ridding calls to the
proper people, taldng messages when people are out of the office and directing people when they
come into City Hall. She is sometimes the only contact a citizen has with City Hall and she is
excellent in giving people a positive and helpful image of the City of Mound.
She does a lot of typing for departments who do not have secretarial help, i.e. Finance, Liquor,
and the Dock Inspector. She is also in charge of handling all incoming and outgoing mail;
copying for various departments; office supply ordering; as well as the duties that were
mentioned before. We are lucky to have someone who is versatile, talented and friendly.
ELECTIONS
The City Clerk must administer all elections for national, state and county as well as city offices
and special city elections. The State Statutes governing the election process are Chapter 200
through 210 and Chapter 412. On the surface these statutes describe the procedural steps,
however, they do not describe the election process in logical step sequence. Election laws are
constantly being revised by the state legislature and through court rulings so it is necessary to
stay on top of all changes.
I am one of 11 City Clerks chosen to serve on the Hennepin County Elections and Voter
Registration Coordinating Committee. It is comprised of clerks giving good city representation
of the county based on experience, the size of the municipalities and the types of election system
used. This Committee deals with new legislation affecting elections and voter registration. This
past year we successfully fought against a bill that would have required cities and school districts
to hold their elections in odd years. This would have meant holding an election every year and
naturally there was no funding provided to underwrite the cost of this extra election.
In 1994, there were two elections. The General seemed to go on forever as the school district
requested a recount for the special extension levy referendum. This involved 6 cities. Mound
being the largest voting district, Mound was chosen as the place to hold the recount. I
coordinated the cities efforts and the recount was accomplished with no substantial change in the
outcome.
We had 640 new registered voters in the two elections. The current count of registered voters
as of February !995 is 6,609.
Pre-planning is the key to holding a properly organized and well conducted election.
The following is a synopsis of some of the procedures that were done for the Primary and
General elections that were held September 13th and November 8th.
Preparation of an election calendar is essential giving actual dates when duties
must be performed to meet legal requirements.
2. Legal notices must be drafted in preparation for timely publication and posting.
Making sure there are absentee voting materials, voter registration supplies,
election day supplies, ballots, and ascertaining whether election day equipment,
such as voting booths and ballot boxes are in a good state of repair.
Polling places must be designated by the City Council. I make all necessary
arrangements for the use of these facilities. Each polling place must meet the
standards of accessibility for the elderly and the physically handicapped.
9
Election judges have to be located. This can be a very trying task because the
pay is so low and the hours so long. There must be "party balance" in each
precinct and this sometimes becomes a problem because some judges do not want
to be moved from their home precinct.
The law states that there must be a minimum of 1 judge for every 150 registered
voters in a precinct. The count in each precinct, at 7:00 A.M. on the day of the
General Election was as follows, for a total of 6197.
Precinct #1 - Mount Olive - 634 voters
Precinct #2 - Indian Knoll Manor - 592 voters
Precinct #3 - Island Park Hall - 1,909 voters
Precinct #4 - Seahorse Rec. Bldg. - 1,050 voters
Precinct #5 - The Depot - 1,168 voters
Precinct #6 - Library - 844 voters
The rule of 1 judge for each 150 registered voters is not applicable because there
must be a judge for each of the following procedures:
One judge to act as a greeter (determine if the voter is registered or not
and directs to the proper line).
b. Two judges to handle the computer print-out of registered voters.
c. A demonstration judge.
d. A judge to hand out the ballots.
A judge to be near the vote tabulator to watch for error messages
and assist voters.
f. One or two judges to be in charge of new voter registrations.
The law requires that election judges for all elections be trained by a City Clerk,
this also includes school elections. We have a basic course, a review course and
an emergency course. This year the training course changed significantly because
a new Election Judge Training Video was produced to help train the judges on
election procedures and the workings of the equipment. The judges have to be
trained to have some working knowledge of the vote tabulators, problems that
might arise, error messages given by the tabulator, and ways to correct problems.
The training video was done through the cooperation of the City Clerk's
organization, several metro counties, and the Minneapolis Technical College. We
provided a workbook to go along with the video. It has been a major success.

Hennepin County does the programming for the prom pack (memory pack) that
is inserted in each machine. We have two for each machine. One is for back-up
in case there are problems with the other. Both prom packs for each machine are
tested in each machine with a test deck of official ballots marked so that it
appears there were different situations in voting, i.e. undervotes, overvotes, blank
ballots, crossovers (.primary only), etc. A master sheet showing the variations in
votes must be done. The results are then compared with the machine count to
determine if the machine is counting accurately. This is very time consuming.
Applications for Absentee Ballots are obtained from City Hall or the County and
sent to the City or the County to be filled. The ballots are then sent from City
Hall or the County to the applicant or are picked up at City Hall or the County.
The voter then casts his/her ballot and returns the sealed envelope either in person
or by mailing it. These ballots are then held unopened until election day.
City Hall is open for absentee balloting the Saturday before an election from 1:00
P.M. to 3:00 P.M. and on the Monday before election until 7:30 P.M.
The Monday before the Tuesday election is when each precinct must be set up
(all voting booths and miscellaneous supplies) and keys must be obtained for the
various precincts. The locked ballot boxes with the vote tabulators (the memory
packs are sealed in the tabulators to insure they have not been tampered with) and
blank ballots inside (these are also sealed in boxes) are delivered to the precincts.
The Election Precinct Chairperson picks up the remaining precinct supplies
(forms to be filled out, envelopes each form must be in, etc.) on Monday night.
Election day arrives for Linda and I at 5:30 A.M. I spend most of the morning
monitoring each precinct to be sure everything is running smoothly, answering
any questions that come up and straightening out any problems that arise. Linda
takes care of any phone questions from the public on precinct locations, etc. This
year we had a technician from the manufacturer of the equipment at our City Hall
to handle any problems with the machines in Mound or surrounding communities.
All absentee ballots are counted on the equipment in the precincts. During the
primary there were 45 absentee ballots and during the general there were 245
absentee ballots. We had a team of judges at City Hall trained to review the
applications and ballot envelopes to determine if the ballot was rejected or
accepted based on the completeness of the required information. After that
process was complete, the ballots in the ballot envelopes were sent out to each
precinct to be opened and run thru the machine at the close of the polls.
11
13.
After the polls close, the judges check and verify the seal numbers on the
memory pack to be sure it is the same as it was opening the polls. They then
take the "A" (answer key) key, insert it in the vote tabulator and turn it. The
vote tabulator will not accept any more ballots. A printout of vote totals will then
begin. This is the Official Results Tape. It contains the zero tape from the
beginning of the day, any messages, and the total votes for each candidate or
question.
That, though, is not the end of the day because the judges must bring certain supplies and items
back to City Hall some of which goes to Hennepin County that night.
There are many more clerical tasks than mentioned above that have to be done for an election,
but as you can see it is a very time consuming job that requires accuracy and efficiency to run
properly. By the time election day is over, Linda and I usually have put in 16-20 hours each.
The day after the election is getting the resolution and forms ready for the Canvassing Meeting.
The City Canvassing Board (City Council) only canvasses city elections and special city
elections.
MISCELLANEOUS
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
In September assessment heating notices were prepared, the tax books checked to verify names
and addresses and notices were written, published and sent to all parties concerned regarding the
following:
CBD (Central Business Distric0 Parking Maintenance
Delinquent Water & Sewer Charges
The CBD Assessment Roll is a very involved procedure. The expenses are figured from June
1 of a given year until May 31 of the year being assessed. This figure includes expenses for
railroad lease, special assessments, maintenance materials, crosswalks striping, blacktopping of
lots, Christmas decorations, lighting of lots, parking lot leases, salaries for maintenance. This
figure is sent to each business in the CBD District. There is a very complicated formula for
spreading these expenses between the businesses in the Central Business District. The formula
is based on the following:
Customer parking spaces required (this is determined by the CBD Parking
Committee based on the business).
Employee parking spaces required.
The number of spaces provided by the business.
The first 2 items are added together and the third is subtracted.
12
o
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

A percentage of the total is then figured on item//4.
The business front footage is then taken.
A percentage of the total is then figured on item #6.
The present market value is then taken.
A percentage of the total is then figured on item #8.
Next the total costs (expenses) are multiplied by the factor .7 and that result is
multiplied by item #5.
Next the total costs (expenses) are multiplied by the factor. 15 and that result is
multiplied by item #7.
Next the total costs (expenses) are multiplied by factor .15 and that result is
multiplied by item
Items 10, 11 and 12 are then added together and that is what is proposed to be
assessed to each business in the CBD.
At the end of August we are taking all delinquent sewer and water bills and preparing them for
certification and assessment against the benefiting property. With the initial list, we sent out 307
notices. We actually certified 141 for collection with 1995 taxes.
Resolutions were ~repared for all the above assessments. Levy sheets were prepared for
Hennepin County, resolutions certified and all sent to the County to appear on the 1995 tax
statements.
OTHER MEETINGS ATTENDED
MCFOA (Minnesota Clerks' & Finance Officers' Association) Annual Meetim,
I have been a member of this organization since 1982. I was Regional Vice President for
Region IV in 1984; Treasurer in 1985; Secretary in 1986; Vice President in 1987; became the
President in 1988; and a Director at Large (Immediate Past President) 1989 and 1990. This
state organization has one annual conference in March which is put on by Government Training
Services and the University of Minnesota Department of Professional Development and
Conference Services. It is designed to meet the needs of Minnesota clerks from large, small and
medium size cities, with different responsibilities, and with varying years of experience. The
technical sessions provide practical information and an opportunity for discussion with other
clerks.
I received the title of MCMC (Minnesota Certified Municipal Clerk) in March 1985 after
completing the required courses and extra seminars offered by the University of Minnesota
Continuing Education.
Out of the 855 cities in Minnesota there are over 550 members in MCFOA.
13
IIMC (International Institute of Municipal Clerks) Conference
I have been a (CMC) Certified Municipal Clerk since November 1985. The State of Minnesota
presently has over 326 member cities in the IIMC. We are 8th out of 77 (including the 50
states, 12 Canadian provinces, and 15 other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Israel,
United Kingdom, South Africa) in membership to IIMC. Total IIMC membership is 9,582.
I attended the annual IIMC Conference from May 22 - May 28. There are a variety of topics
covered in the educational sessions, presentations and the extensive exhibits. This was a very
interesting and beneficial conference with over 40 different workshops in topics such as, records
management, local government productivity, elections, professional development, personnel
management, communications, supervising, to name a few.
I finished serving my third year of a three year term on the IIMC Board of Directors
representing Region VI (Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin) in May of 1993 and was presented
with a Certificate of Appreciation.
The following is the mission statement that was developed during my last year on the Board,
"The International Institute of Municipal Clerks prepares its membership to meet the challenge
of the diverse roles of the municipal clerk by providing services and continuing professional
development opportunities to benefit members and the government entities they serve."
IIMC (INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MUNICIPAL CLERKS) REGION VI
MEETINGS AND OTHER MEETINGS OR COMMITTEES
In January 1994, I attended the Region VI Meeting in LaCrosse, Wisconsin because it is central
to the three states (Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota) in our region. Bernard Kahl (Mukowango,
Wisconsin) and myself conducted this meeting as Region VI Directors for IIMC. This gives us
a chance to bring information we obtained at the IIMC Mid-Year Beard Meeting back to our
fellow members.
Some of the other meetings attended were:
league of Minnesota Cities Elections & Ethics Committee.
Member of the MCFOA Elections Advisory Board to the Secretary of State.
On a Committee that is updating the video that was done six years ago for
Election Judge Training.
Advisory Committee on Voter Registration.

I have tried to highlight some of the activities in 1994. In summation, the City Clerk's position
encompasses many areas that require time, effort and knowledge beyond that of a clerk in a
larger city with a full staff to do the elementary tasks. I find the work very challenging and
personally rewarding and I am happy I can contribute to Mound and its citizens. I feel
continuing education, working on various committees with affiliated organizations, receiving and
sharing information with other cities makes me more effective in my position and I want to thank
the Council for their support.

JANUARY 1995 MONTHLY REPORT
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
There were 14 building permits issued in January for a construction value of $244,774. This
included one single family dwelling valued at $175,000. If the interest rate stays reasonable,
it looks like a good year for residential construction. Pelican Point and Teal Pointe
developments total 51 units and the average cost is upwards of $250,O00each. If it all pans
out, we are looking at another busy year for the Planning and Inspections Department.
Included in this report is the latest dodge report that gives us some background on the interest
rate activity.
PLANNING & ZONING
There were 3 Planning and Zoning cases processed by the Planning Commission and City
Council. Teal Pointe subdivision was approved by the Council, and there were two variance
cases processed.
.COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER (CSO) ACTIVITY
Total contacts by our CSO, Rick Maki, were 61 this month. The attached report details the
variety. There is additional information in the Police Department Report on CSO activity.

DODGE HOUSING STARTS EDGED UP
IN NOVEMBER
Housing starts edged up a meager one percent in
November as the Fed's attempt to slow the economy by
raising short-term interest rates took effect. Starts rose,
according to F.W. Dodge, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 1.223 million units, up from October's revised rate of 1.217
million units. Despite the modest increase, home-building is
at its lowest level of activity since July 1993.
The single family sector, which accounts for approximately
80 percent of housing starts, continues to weaken. Single
family starts fell 3 percent in November to a 937,000 unit rate,
down from October's revised rate of 969,000 units. This
marks the third consecutive monthly decline and is the lowest
level of activity since March 1993.
For the first half of the year, single family starts were above
the 1 million units mark. Since then starts have trended lower
as the single family market responds to the increases in
mortgage rates. Single family home-building fell in every
region, except in the Northeast which eked out a one percent
gain. Activity fell 4 percent in the South Atlantic and South
Central regions, and fell 3 percent in the Midwest and the
West.
The Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates in
November, by three-quarters of a point, the sixth interest rate
hike this year. As a result mortgage rates have risen to above
9 percent, up from 6.8 percent in October 1993. The increase
in rates is expected to further weaken an already softening
Some of the drag on starts caused by higher interest rates
has been partially offset by a shift to adjustable rate
mortgages. However, as the gap between short-term and
long-term interest rates narrows, the shift to ARMs will slow,
and the full impact of the interest rate hikes will start to be
All of the increase in activity came from a 16 percent jump
in multifamily starts. Starts of multifamily units jumped in
November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 287,000
units, up from a 248,000 unit pace in October. A 9 percent
dec line in th eNortheast was mo re thanoffsetbya59 percent
surge in the South Central region. Both the West and the
South Atlantic also posted double digit increases in activity.
Housing starts are up seven percent for the first 11 months
of the year over 1993's levels. Single family starts lead 1993's
levels by a slight 2 percent, although the gap is narrowing as
the single family sector continues to weaken. Meanwhile,
multifamily starts continues to strengthen, topping 1993's
levels by 35 percent. Home-building activity is up in every
region except the Northeast, which now trails 1993's levels by
one percent.

CITY MANAGER
FROM:
FRAN CLARK, CITY CLERK
JANUARY 1995, MONTHLY REPORT
There were 2 regular meetings in January with agendas, minutes, 19
resolutions to prepare and clean-up items from the two meetings.
The first was an organizational meeting, i.e. appointment of acting
Mayor, acting City Manager, official newspaper, designation of
official depositories, etc.
I calculated the Fire & Rescue hours for 1994 and incorporated them
into the first part of the formula for the 1996 Fire Contract.
These figures will be sent to the contracting cities.
Cigarette and Garbage & Refuse Hauler Licenses were sent out to the
licensees. When these are returned everything is checked, i.e.
work comp insurance, sales tax information, data privacy forms,
etc. Checks are receipted and licenses are prepared for Council
approval which will be at the February 14th Council Meeting.
The Clerk's Index was updated.
The Minnesota Clerks' & Finance officers' Association (MCFOA)
Elections Advisory Board (of which I am a member), met in January
with BRC and a number of county auditors. This meeting was to
combine our efforts for the upcoming Legislative Session.
Discussion at this meeting centered around appeasing another
Legislator's whim to move the arrows on the ballot to the left side
of the name. It was determined that the BRC Optec 3P cannot be
modified to accommodate this idea. An alternative was offered to
the Legislature. This would be to right justify all the names on
the ballot and it appears that this is acceptable.
I attended the IIMC Region VI Meeting in Rochester, Minnesota.
There were the usual calls from citizens regarding various
subjects.

MEMORANDUM
February 2, 1995
TO:
MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER
FROM:
JOEL KRUMM, LIQUOR STORE MANAGER
SUBJECT: JANUARY, 1995 MONTHLY REPORT
For the first time ever in any given January, we managed to top the $100,000
mark in gross sales, coming in at $100,299. In January of 1994, sales were
$97,546. That is a 3% increase, which is consistent with government inflation
figures. If we maintain this pattern, sales for 1995 will be $1,400,000, which is what
I projected in this year's budget.
The state auditor's office has finally completed the yearly analysis of all
municipal liquor store operations for the fiscal year of 1993. It does not paint a rosy
picture, nor is it an alarming depiction either. In essence, it says that gross sales
decreased by 1% in 1993, compared to the sales figures of 1992. However, it does
point out that Minnesota's 268 municipally owned and operated liquor stores
experienced their second consecutive year of declining net incomes in 1993. The net
income for all stores decreased 12.1%. I am proud to report that for that same period
cited (and for that matter for the 10 years I have been managing your store) we have
managed to "buck the trend". For example, in 1993, we had net sales of
$1,305,720. That was a 8.1% increase over 1992. And last year sales were
$1,368,288, an increase of almost 5%. And as you all know, net income, or profits,
for the store have risen quite dramatically over the past few years.
prmted on recycled paper
January 1994 Monthly Report
Page 2
February 2, 1995
I also took some time to compare our store against some other stores of
comparative size that are close to our community. Some examples: Shorewood has
two stores and in 1992 had sales of $1,377,910. Their net income for that year was
$39,232. In 1993, sales were $1,336,773 and net income was $31,591. Wayzata
has an on/off operation and in 1992 had sales of $1,885,648 and their net income
was $105,550. In 1993 sales were $1,835,075 and their net income was $27,597!
I also looked at stores much larger than us and some very interesting numbers
emerged. The following figures are for 1993 only. I will be brief as possible:
Sales
Fridley (2 stores) $2,783,611
Spring Lake Park (1 store) $2,766,678
St. Anthony (2 off & 2 on sale) $3,513,427
Net Income
$76,383
$98,711
-$58,091
To keep this in perspective, remember our sales for 1993 were $1,305,720 and a "net
operating income" was $110,000.
Inventory is done and the extensions are almost complete. Barring any
interruptions, all should be completed by the end of the first week in February to be
turned over to Gino Businaro to get a preliminary unaudited analysis.

Closing of the Year 1994
January was, as usual, a very busy month for the Finance Department.
The new year cycle and the closing of the past year cycle are falling
in place as we move along.
With the issuance of the W-2 and the 1099 forms, numerous reports
were submitted to Federal and State departments. Other reports were
submitted to the independent auditor, the insurance agent, and Hennepin
county.
Recvclin.q
Joyce has submitted to Hennepin County the 1994 Municipal Recycling
Final Report. The total expenditures for the program were $118,920
and the revenues from the sale of recyclables were $13,924. The county
entitlement for the year was $68,775.
As an example of participation for the month of October, out of 12,972
households 8,255 had their recyclables set out. That is a 63% participation.
The total materials collected for the year was 1,221 tons.

Meeting: 7:30 P.M., Monday, January 23, 1995

Eugene Strommen, Executive Director; Gregory Nybeck, Administrative

1. Consideration of amending the observer re~uirement while towing
water skiers on Lake Minnetonka, with findings and reoommendations
to the board.
Chair Foster advised the committee to review the testimony and findings
of the 7:00 public hearing testimony which considered amending the
observer requirement ordinance for towing water skiers on Lake
Minnetonka. Comments were encouraged by committee members.
Grathwol indicated that he does not ski and he lives in an area of the
lake where it is the extremely crowded. He found it difficult to not
listen to the argument that if it is safer to ski with an observer, why
change the ordinance. He suggested opening areas of the lake where
observers are not required rather than opening the lake as a whole.
The water skiers indicated that this would add to an already confusing
situation.
Foster was troubled with designating specific bays since the LMCD has
in the past tried to avoid restrictive practices such as this. Foster
indicated that such specific zoning practices on the lake may become
necessary in the future, but he would prefer avoiding them as long as
possible.
Bloom reemphasized that 18 of the 19 citizens who attended the public
hearing were in favor of amending the observer ordinance. He indicated
that those who attended appeared to be willing to ski on weekdays
versus weekends, thus reducing density on weekends. The conditions
related to the weekdays are more conducive to them.
Reese commented that the overcrowded bay issue raised by Strommen is
self regulating. Skiers will go to different areas of the lake if
other skiers are occupying an area of the lake. He feels that this is
a non issue.
McGlasson shared with the committee two comments. First, he had as
concern that skiers would ski on both weekdays and weekends. He was
hoping to hear that they would ski on weekdays rather than weekends.
Second, he was concerned with the definition of enforcement. The
definition of a ski, the different speeds allowed on the lake, the age
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 1/23/95, P. 2
of the operator, and other factors will add to an already confusing
situation. McGlasson recommended approval of the committee to amend
with the condition that it be reviewed after the upcoming boating
season with assistance from the Hennepin County Water Patrol. He
supports passing the amendment as written conditional that appropriate~
changes be made if enforcement of the ordinance becomes an issue. He
recommended feedback from the Power Squadron in this issue.
MOTION: Reese moved, seconded by Bloom to recommended to the board
changes of the observer requirement ordinance as drafted.
DISCUSSION: McGlasson asked the committee why the motion does not
include the provision to review in one year. Foster indicated that the
situation will be reviewed in one year. This is an ordinary course of
activity of the committee. McGlasson asked then why not include it in
the ordinance. Foster mentioned it will be reviewed all summer long by
the W~ter Patrol, the LMCD, and by the public in general.
Suerth expressed some concerns with this proposal. He expressed that
he has lived on the lake when both an observer was and was not
required. He indicated that eight of his nine children felt the change
should not be made. The Woodland City Council expressed they were not
in favor of the change in a January City Council meeting. The
Groveland Home Owners Association expressed they were not in favor of
the changes.
Bob Beutler, 1331 North Arm Drive, expressed that he had communicated
with neighbors concerning the water skiing ordinance. He indicated
that neighbors were already confused about the ordinance. Once they
were explained the proposed ordinance, they favored the proposed
changes the to the ordinance since the lake is not used too heavily on
weekdays.
Strommen added a concern of the Water Patrol that this would add to
confusion on the lake. He mentioned the idea of limiting this
amendment to Monday thru Thursdays with Fridays thru Sundays requiring
an observer.
Peter Lanpher, 1359 Park Drive S., commented that Monday thru Thursday
would be an improvement to the situation. He commented that two
newspaper articles addressing the proposed amendment added to
confusion. Neither article addressed the age restriction which is a
concern to the committee. He was surprised parents were here not
voicing their opinions on this.
VOTE ON MOTION~ Motion carried; 5 Ayes, 2 Nayes (Suerth, Rascop)
2. 1994 Boat Density Survey Discussion.
Chai~'Foster indicated that staff was notified by Dave Dotzenroth that
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COM){ITTEE, 1/23/95, P.3
he would not be able to attend this meeting. Strommen introduced Bob
Meents to the committee. Meents assisted Dotzenroth in this project.
strommen mentioned that Meents is familiar with the project, however,
he did not come to the meeting prepared to discuss it in detail.
Grathwol welcomed the report but did not understand some aspects of it.
He was interested in how the 30% of riparian and other sources was
derived from. He also was interested in how the categories were
changed from the previous years. He was interested in comments from
Tim Kelly, DNR Planner.
Foster expressed an interest to have both Dotzenroth and Tim Kelly at
the next meeting for full discussion.
Reese identified that a category exists relating to waterski boats.
questioned whether this counted only boats towing water skiers. If
not, he recommended calling it boats towing something.
He
Foster asked staff to arrange Dotzenroth and Kelly to attend the next
committee meeting to discuss in detail the 1994 Boat Density Survey.
The committee concurred.
3. Lake &coess Task Force Impluentation Priorities.
Foster recommended Strommen to address the committee on this agenda
item.
Strommen indicated that the implementation outline is in response to
the committee's responsibility to carry out the Lake Access Task Force
Report and its recommendations. The outline addresses concerns in the
near term up to the next 18 months.
Strommen mentioned that certain cities have specific accesses that need
to be revisited. Communication with some of these cities has not taken
place for around a year. Strommen mentioned that communication has
taken place with the City ~f Mound and the LMCD is r~ady to sign off
with an agreeable number of parking spaces, approximately 32.
Rascop asked in the discussions with Mound, are any of these parking
spaces associated with Lost Lake.
Strommen mentioned that parking spaces discussed with the City of Mound
do not include Lost Lake. However, there are long term goals described
in the Lake Access Task Report concerning Lost Lake. Strommen hopes in
future discussions with Mound, there will be a tradeoff of amenities
related to the dredging and docks serving Lost Lake for more
car/trailer parking spaces elsewhere in the City of Mound.
McGlasson asked the committee who has jurisdiction in dredging
projects?
'~KE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 1/23/95, P.4
Strommen indicated that the DNR and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
have the jurisdiction. The LMCD has comment only.
Strommen mentioned the City of Wayzata and Deephaven need to be
addressed with their public accesses. Hennepin County could be
resolved by the spring of 1995. Hennepin Parks are moving along as
planned.
Racsop asked Strommen what this intentions were by providing this on
agenda? Has there been a lack of movement on this?
Strommen indicated there is a need to get started on this. This will
require staff and appropriate city board members to meet with these
city officials. 'I~itial meetings will be staff meeting staff.
Foster mentioned that the outline discussed by Strommen is a course of
action that makes sense. He recommended accepting the report to get
started on this.
MOTION: Rascop moved, seconded by Suerth to accept the report and
authorize staff to proceed and coordinate with the appropriate board
members.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
Staff report on MN DNR educational material on personal watercraft
operation as governed by state laws, and comparison to LMCD
regulations for Lake Minnetonka.
Strommen mentioned this is an informational item on the agenda. Staff
reviewed state laws which regulate the use of personal watercrafts and
compared them to LMCD regulations. Staff reported three substantial
differences.
Nybeck outlined these three differences. First, the state requires
that personal watercrafts maintain a distance of 100 feet from shore,
the LMCD requires 150 feet. Second, the state requires they maintain a
distance of 100 feet from other watercrafts, the LMCD requires 150
feet. The third difference in towing on personal watercrafts, the
state requires a skier to wear a PFD or there must be one available on
the personal watercraft. The LMCD requires that the skier wear a PFD.
If it is not U.S. Coast Guard approved, one needs to be on the personal
watercraft. An observer is also required under LMCD ordinance.
Rascop maintains that if the LMCD's regulations are more restrictive,
they should be kept. He recommended the tightening up of LMCD
regulations if loopholes exist in current code.
The committee concurred to maintain LMCD's regulations relating to
pers0~al watercrafts.
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 1/23/95, P.5
$. Hennepin County Sheriff's water Patrol:
a. Significant Activity Report- the report was accepted by the
committee.
Special Deputy Candidate for the Save the Lake Dinner
Recognition-
Strommen mentioned to the committee that the list of
candidates has not been received by the Water Patrol.
MOTION: Grathwol moved, seconded byRascop to allow Chair
Foster to select a special deputy candidate to
recommend to the Board of Directors, with input from
the Executive Director.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously
b. Limited Permit granted for Livingstone Para-Sail event
McGlasson was concerned why the Water Patrol changed their
opinion on this application.
Foster indicated that the Water Patrol was not necessarily
against the application, but they wanted the opinion from the
LMCD on this application
The committee discussed the permit and identified the major
difference from what the LMCD recommended and what was granted
by the Water Patrol. The major difference is that para-sailing
will not be allowed on Fridays.
McGlasson expressed concern with the action of the Water Patrol.
He felt there was a lack of communication between the LMCD and
the Water Patrol,
Strommen added that the Board of Directors took no action on
this application. This action was communicated to Sgt.
Chandler.
Rascop and McGlasson mentioned that while no formal action was
taken by the Board, the Board recommended restrictions on the
times and areas of operation on the lake.
Strommen added that the Water Patrol has the right to shut the
operation down any time they want to.
The committee recommended that Strommen write a letter to Sgt.
Chandler addressing the committees concerns including locations
USE A/~D RECRF--ATION COM~4I~TEE, 1/23/95, P.6
of operation which the LMCD feels are proper and to include
-' minutes of the Board meeting to reconsider the license or make
amendments to it.
~. &d4itional Business
Bloom expressed two concerns with snowmobilers on Lake Minnetonka.
They are 1) the speed of snowmobiles and 2) the noise of
snowmobiles. He expressed that there is no doubt in his mind that
speed limits are exceeded in both during the day and nights. He
indicated there appears to be an enforcement problem dealing with
snowmobilers who are speeding.
Foster provided background on the enforcement problem that the
Water Patrol faces. Two deputies were hurt in the recent past
chasing snowmobilers who were at high speeds. Current policy
r%commends deputies do not chase at high speeds which could
jeopardize their safety.
The committee discussed the noise factors of snowmobiles on Lake
Minnetonka. Foster maintains that one indivLdual snowmobile does
not create a noise problem. But more than one can create a
problem.
Committee members discussed noise factors relating to snowmobiles.
General consensus of the committee is that this was an enforcement
problem. McGlasson recommended the Water Patrol provide
educational material and courses similar to those the Power
Squadron provide in the Summer.
No formal action was taken.
Ron Glesne, 1470 Cherry P1, spoke on his own behalf on how
communications could improve between the LMCD and the LMLOA. Chair
Foster recommended improved working relations including attendance
to both organizations meetings, working seminars, and no surprises.
Foster recommended the two organizations work together, not against
each other, on issues of interest to both organizations.
Rascop mentioned the LMLOA could assist the LMCD on issues mutually
beneficial to both organizations. Currently, the LMCD is trying to
convince local city councils to adopt ordinances related to
shoreline lighting and fertilizer runoff. The LMLOA home owners
could assist in their communities by lobbying with their local city
councils to adopt these ordinances.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Historical Comparison
Data identifying "boating averages' has been developed over five years in which the Lake
Minnetonka Boat Density Study has been conducted. The five years in which comparative
aerial boat use density surveys have been conducted are 1984, 1986, 1987, 1992, and
1994.The boat density study was not held from 1988 to 1991 due to low water levels.
The high boating average was observed in 1986 at 1,453. The low boating average was
observed in 1992 as 1,306. Observations reveal a range of plus or minus 70 boats (6%) to
those of the 1994 study which averaged 1,375 (see Figure 4).
While comparing "maximum boating numbers', with 5 years of survey data available (1984 to
present), the 1994 study of 2,131 showed "maximum boating numbers' as being third
highest. A comparison of 2,252 boats in 1987 as maximum boating average "high', with the
"lowest' maximum boating average in 1992 at 1,829 Relative to the past 5 survey years of
studies a comparison range shows within plus 121 boats (6%), to minus 302 boats (14%)
relative to 2,131 observed in the 1994 study (see Figure 4 ).
1994 Sumraary of Lake Activities and Sources (See Figure 1).
·Total Number of Boats Counted: 17,873.
· Average boats per flight: 1,375.
· l~lfinlmum boats observed as 563 on July 9.
· Maximum number of boats observed as 2,131, on August 21.
· Most heavily utili~.ed lake area (as a percent of total activity) was Lower Lake North, on average
accounting for 20% of boating activity.
· Least heavily utilized lake area (as a percent of total activity) was Libb's Lake, on average
accounting for 0.2% of boating activity.
· Car trailers and car toppers sourced (on average) 27% of boats on water.
· Number of Municipal Docks totalled 1,056.
· Municipal docks sourced 15% of boats on water.
· Marinas and Yacht Clubs sourced 15.3% of boats on water
· Boat rentals sourced 3% of boats on water.
· Drystack sourced 2% of boats on water.
· Remaining 36% contributed to riparian docks, undesignated car trailer facilities not monitored, and
the accumulation of errors of all categories.

II. INTRODUCTION
In an effort to make educated decisions appropriate to managing Lake Minnetonka, it is
essential to continually and consistently monitor the activities within and around the lake. The
Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) and Minnesota Depaxhaent of Natural
Resources (MmDNR) have conducted program~ to increase understanding of boating trends on
Lake Minnetonka since 1973. Various methods have been used in the past to gain sufficient
The methodology implemented by Clear Air for use in the 1994 Lake Minnetonka Boat
Density Study followed studies in recent years, so that trends could be comprehensively
evaluated. Refined methodologies (see Methodologies, Inflight Count Procedures) were
introduced to more accurately measure the quantity and distribution of lake activities occurring
on, and sources bordering the lake.
Lake Minaetonka Boat Density Survey - 1994

m. SETTING
Lake Minnetonka is a unique resource which requires careful management in order to protct its
natural environment, recreational, and economic resources. The 125.3 miles of shoreline and
14,043 acres is shared by 14 independently governed cities. The lake's metropolitan location
makes it a most popular general recreation lake, and one of the busiest water related resources
in the state.
There are 28 public accesses, both designated and undesignated on Lake Minnetonka. Public
boaters are served by ten free designated public accesses, four identified undesignated public
accesses, ten marina fee paid public accesses, and three drystack marina public accesses (see
Appendix 1). A total of 22 marinas, provide 1628 overnight rental storage slips, 276 dry-
stack storage units (there are no overnight transient slips). Four of the 22 marinas provide
boat rentals to the public, with a total rental availability of 74 boats. Boat clubs represent a
newer form of public access. The boats operated by such clubs are included among boats
stored at marinas. The impact of boat clubs on boat usage will be monitored in the future.
Boaters may enjoy more than ten restaurants located in various spots on lake Minnetonka and
accessible by boat. Parks are a popular recreational activity with boaters. Four county parks
are available to the public; the new Hennepin Regional Park in Mirmetrista will be partially
open in 1995. This park will provide daytime transient boat docking and public boat access.
Several city and township parks embodied around the shorelines of Lake Minnetonka are also
accessible from the lake.
Being one of the freest bass lakes in the nation, more major bass fishing tournaments are held
on Lake Minnetonka than any other lake in Minnesota. Fishing tournaments continue to grow
in popularity. Sailing races on the upper and lower lake are held on an almost daily basis.
Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Survey- 1994

The lake water level is maintained by the Mirmehaha Creek Watershed District per a joint
agreement with the MnDNR and the LMCD. The ordinary high water level is 929.4 feet
above mean sea level, and adjusted in the fall to 928.6 feet to allow for spring rain and snow
melt storage capacity. Lake levels for the summer of 1994 remained fairly consistent. June
lake levels averaged 929.57', July levels averaged 929.25', and August levels averaged
928.98. The lake level average for the period of the study measured 929.27 (see Appendix
2).
Lake Mianetonka Boat Density Survey - 1994
Page 11
IV. METHODOLOGIES
The survey was performed by aerial observations. The study consisted of observing boat
activity for 13 consecutive weekends. Days in which the observations were conducted were
randomly selected (see Appendix 3A). The random selection process occurred at LMCD
offices with representatives from LMCD, the MnDNR and Clear Air present and participating
in the random selection.
Randomly Selected Routes
Clear Air was provided a map with 42 lake areas as delineated by the LMCD. This map was
used in the 1994 study to maintain consistency with prior studies. Lake areas were divided
into 3 geographic areas (see Appendix 3B). Each area was randomly selected to provide
flight routes that vary.: the time of day each bay was flown, the starting point of each survey,
and the completion point of each survey. Flight planning for bays with_in each geographic area
was determined during the actual flight in deference to wind conditions.
Weather Criteria
Weather criteria was established to ensure safe dispatch of the aircraft and crew. The
following criteria was established for weather evaluation prior to dispatch:
· Winds not to exceed 25 mph at time of dispatch.
· No small craft warning in effect at time of dispatch.
· No visible precipitation.
· Cloud cover at or above 1000 feet above ground level.
· and visibility of 3 statute miles or greater.
Weather reports were obtained from either Flying Cloud Airport or Minneapolis International
Airport Arrival Information, and recorded with each flight's report.
Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Survey- 1994
Page 12
Flight Times
Flight times were established and set to follow prior years
follows:
Preflight preparation
Aerial observations and recordings
studies of peak use boat activity as
13:00 to 13:40
13:40 to 16:15 (or completion)
Equipment Used ·
The aerial count was conducted with. a highly modified Piper Super Cub on floats. Use of this
specialized aircraft contributed to accuracy of the count because of its slow flight capability of
30 mph, and approval to operate at lower altitudes due to float operations, in accordance with
Federal Aviation Administration Regulations. A DeHavilland Beaver was designated as back
up aircraft in the event of mechanical problems.
Inflight Count Procedure
Both pilot and observer (second pilot) used hand-held tally counters to ensure precise counting.
An intercom system was used to coordinate all totals. Each pilot's tallies were compared for
accuracy, and discrepancies were recounted. Clear Air developed the real-time tally system to
reduce the potential errors from the use of photographs. The first two aerial observations
employed both real-time tallies and photographs (as used in previous years); photo analysis
contributed to errors by omitting boats in channels, under bridges, departing docks, and
behind tree lines.
Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Survey - 1994
Page 13
Categories of Watercraft
Boats observed were categorized into the following groups. Boats that were identifiable as
sail, personal watercraft, fishing, waterski, beached and rafted, and at transient docks were not
recounted as either wake or no wake boats. Boat categories were del'reed as follows:
· Wake - The movement of a boat leaving a noticeable wake.
· No Wake - Boats under way without a noticeable wake, and boats adrift
or at anchor.
· Sail - Sail boat as well as sail boards with sail deployed.
· Personal Watercraft - Jet propelled one or two person watercraft.
· Fishing Boats - Boats observed actively fishing with fishing poles in
use.
· Water Ski - Boats with tow rope deployed for skiing or pulling a
floating device.
· Raft & Beach - Two or more boats tied together, or individual boats
pulled ashore.
· Boats at Transient Docks - Boats moored at docks desig~nated as
transient by LMCD
Change from previous year studies: (1) In 1994, Rafted and Beached were categorized under
one heading, while previous years were counted seperate. (2) Fishing Boats, a new catagory
for 1994, previous years included them in non wake boats. (3) Sailboards and Sailboats were
categorized under one heading.

Municipal Docks
Municipal docks were divided into four geographic areas of approximately equal size: North
Mound, South Mound, Lower Lake North, and Lower Lake South (see Appendix 4). An off-
peak flight was conducted in the early morning weekday hours during the ftrst half of each
month to develop a percentage occupancy rate (see Data Analysis). One municipal dock area
was selected for observation for each of the off-peak flights: June 6, July 6, and August 12.
Municipal dock areas on weekend flights were randomly selected. The selection, without
replacement, resulted in each area being photographed once before any area was photographed
a second time. The weekend peak flight photographs were examined by Mound City or
LMCD staff and results returned to Clear Air for computation (see Data Analysis) and data
entry.
Marinas and Yacht Clubs
Marinas and Yacht Clubs were photographed on each of the three off-peak weekday flights to
establish an occupancy ratio. Weekend peak flight counts were done similar to the municipal
dock observations to establish a vacancy rate used to determine the source of boats counted
(see Data Analysis).
Marina Boat Rental~ and Drystack
Upon the completion of each weekend observation, six applicable marinas were asked to
report the number of boat rentals from their rental fleet and/or the number of boats out of
drystack storage during the actual time period the study was conducted. The data was used to
determine source of boats on the water.

ACCeSSeS
The 28 access sites were observed and results recorded on each of the weekend flights. All
vehicles with trailers attached were counted as car trailers. All vehicles with visual roof top
carriers or trucks with open boxes were counted as car toppers.
Boats at Transient Docks (see Appendix 5')
LMCD supplied a list of fifteen transient docks to be monitored throughout the survey period.
These docks provide temporary parking for active boats on the water while boaters utilize land
based facilities. The docks are for temporary mooring only, and are easily identifiable from
the air, and are considered as active boats. Each boat at each facility was counted for each of
the thirteen flights conducted. The total number of Boats at Transient Docks is summarized
under the Activities heading on the weekly summary reports.

Page 16
V. DATA ANALYSIS
Data analysis was performed on two levels: weekly reports and an aggregate database.
Weekly reports were generated to provide immediate access to the information gathered and
monitor the survey's progress. The aggregate database was then compiled and formatted to
correspond to earlier studies for comparison and trending.
Weekly Summaries (5/30/94 through 8/21/94)
The primary data gathered was divided into two categories: (1) boats observed utilizing the
water surface resources of Lake Minnetonka by activity; and (2) the observable sources
contributing to those activities.
Activities were categorized by the type of boat engaged in the activity. Catagories are: Water
Tow Boats, Personal Watercraft, Sail Boats, Fishing Boats, Rafted & Beached, Wake Boats,
No Wake Boats, and Boats at Transient Docks; and are defined under Methodology.
Sources were categorized as Marinas & Yacht Clubs, Car Trailers (Fee Paid), Car Toppers
(Fee Paid), Car Trailers (Free Public Designated), Car Toppers (Free Public Undesignated),
Boat Rentals, Dry Stack, and Municipal Docks. The first column displays totals of boats in
each activity and the number from each source monitored. The second colunm presents the
individual source as a percentage of the number licensed or designated for that source. The
weekly summary displayed the total number of vehicles by type and delineated car trailer from
car topper vehicles. Vehicles without toppers or trailer attached, were not counted. Footnotes
to each summary include: the relevant off-peak flight data (Vacancy & Occupancy Rate), the
Municipal Dock area counted, and weather information.
Lake Minnetonka Boat Density Survey - 1994
Page 17
Source calculations were performed for each category as described below:
Marinas and Yacht Clubs
The Marinas and Yacht Club figure is derived by calculating each marina and yacht
club figure separately, then summing for a weekly total. The vacant number of 'U"
shaped slips for each location was observed and recorded on each weekly flight. From
this number, the number of transient or service slips, and the number of observed
vacant slips on the monthly off-peak flight were subtracted, to arrive at the net number
of boats sourced from that particular facility.
(Observed vacant slips) - (transient slips) - (off-peak vacancies) = (net boats from
marina). The net number of sourced boats was totalled for all marinas and yacht clubs
on the lake each week.
Municipal Docks
Total number of Municipal docks was delineated by the LMCD as totalling 1056 for
purposes of the 1994 study. The weekly photographs of the assi~m'xed, randomly
selected municipal docks were analyzed by LMCD or Mound City, Staff. The number
of boats at docks were counted, and the number of boats licensed for those docks was
determined. The difference between the two was divided by the number of boats
licensed at the docks to give a vacancy ratio for that segment of municipal docks. An
occupancy ratio (off peak flight total number of boats counted at selected municipal
docks, divided by the total number licensed at those docks) was (2eveloped from off-
peak flight photographs, and used to adjust the vacancy ratio for licensed, but
unoccupied slips. The resulting figure was multiplied by the total number of licensed
mtmicipal slips on the entire lake to yield the boats sourced from municipal docks for
the flight period.
(vacancy ratio) x (occupancy ratio) x (total number of licensed municipal slips) = (the
number of boats sourced from municipal docks for the week).

Page 18
Access Sites
Lake access sites consisted of three types: (1) free public designated launches; (2) fee
paid (marina) launches; and (3) free public undesignated (municipal administered)
launches. Each access type was further divided into car trailers and car toppers. A
sum total of each access type and vehicle type was summarized.
Boat Rentals & Dry Stack
The Boat Rentals & Dry Stack figures are the sum of the weekly fig.ures supplied by
the marinas. On the few occasions that a marina did not supply the information, the
rental ratio (units rented/number of rental units licensed) for reporting marinas that
week, was multiplied by the non-reporting marina's total licensed rental units to
provide a projected number of rentals.
(reporting marinas' rental ratio) x (non-reporting marina's number of licensed rental
units) = (projected number of rentals for non-reporting marina).
Aggregate Database
Compilation of the aggregate database entailed linking the weekly entries to allow calculations
and trending to be performed. All adjustments to the primary data were performed during the
compilation of the weekly summaries. The tables and graphs resulting from the aggregate
database reflect the summing up of that information.

From: Mark Hanus
RECEIVED
Date: 7 February 1995
Dear Ed,
I request that you add the enclosed proposal to the next COW meeting agenda.
I think it is very important to discuss this at the eadiest opportunity. I am concemed
that any further delay of this discussion could create inconsistencies or potential legal
problems resulting from future decisions unless the { .,uncil has a clear indication of
which direction it wishes to go.
As a courtesy to the other council members, I believe the COW meeting would be the
best forum to discuss this issue the first time.
Sincerely,
RECEIVED ,*cd
PROPOSAL
To:
From:
Mayor and Mound City Council
Mark Hanus - Mound City Councilmember
Re:
Mound City Commons and Mound Dock Programs
It has become apparent that the current City Council may have a new
perspective of the commons and dock programs. In order to avoid legal problems and
inconsistencies in application of the city's policies in the future it would be wise to have
a clear perspective of the direction that the council wishes to go.
Therefore, the following action is offered for council consideration.
1. Place a moratorium on the adoption of any new policies or procedures
relating to the commons or dock programs until the council can determine if it wishes to
apply current policies or adopt changes. Also, a moratorium on the current proactive
commons inventory activities by staff would be in order until the council determines if
the current method is desired.
2. Form a task force at the earliest opportunity to address both programs and
make recommendations either to maintain the current programs as is or offer potential
changes. If changes are found desirable, the task force will offer suggestions that will
make the programs more user friendly without reducing public ability to use and enjoy
the commons and dock systems. This is intended to reduce future litigation as well as
reduce citizen frustration and confusion that increases with each additional restriction or
addition to the ordinances.
This task force would be composed of Mound citizens that proportionately
represent the users of the programs. For example, most of the task force would be
equally divided between abutting dock owners and inland dock owners with the
remaining members being occasional commons users or general Mound citizens if any
are interested in serving. This is to ensure equity in representation as it pertains to
whom these policies affect.
Both policies and ordinances that relate to commons and docks must be open
to discussion. The intent of this proposal is to avoid creating any "hands off' areas of
discussion related to these two programs. Due to the deep rooted and intertwined
problems that exist between the ordinances and policies, any "hands off' rules in the
task force charter could stifle the effectiveness of any positive recommendations.
3. In the interim, while these discussions are taking place, existing policies will
remain active with the exception of the above mentioned activities.
This proposal is offered in good faith and intended in the best interest and well
being of the citizens of the City of Mound.
Mark Hanus
Mound Councilmember
