Hennepin County is holding a public hearing on October 26, 1993, regarding a proposed Solid Waste Management Fee Ordinance and an ordinance on hauler licenses. The County is considering reducing the tipping fee for 1994 from $90 per ton to $60 per ton. This will definitely have an effect on the $1.75 per household reimbursement w e currently receive for our residential recycling program and future fees that we charge in order to operate our recycling program. Letter from Mayor Rockvam, Spring Park, re: thank you and appreciation to the City of Mound for preparing a proposal for police services to Spring Park. Joyce Nelson, Recycling Coordinator, indicated that over 1200 persons utilized the Cleanup Day on October 16. We collected over $5000 from users of the site. This is less than what we collected last Spring. The number of users is also less, which makes me think that we should offer the service once a year rather than twice and that Spring might be better than Fall. The Annual Christmas Party has been scheduled for Friday, December 17, 1993, at the American Legion, Mound. Details on this later.

BOARD OF GOVERNMENT INNOVATION AND COOPERATION APPLICATION FORM 3. Response: The City of Mound has operated an outdoor public works material storage site at its Lost Lake site in downtown Mound for many years. The site is located in the center of the City and has always been an "eye sore' that the City has tried to eliminate. Many attempts have been made over the years to relocate the site but all attempts have failed. Earlier this year, the City of Mound contacted the City of Minnetrista, an adjacent city, to find out if Minnetdsta would be interested in sharing its public works site with the City of Mound. Minnetrista was receptive and meetings were held to study the issue together. The City of Mound prepared a feasibility report (a copy of which is enclosed) which includes a preliminary design and cost estimate to relocate Mound's storage of materials to the area south of the Minnetrista City Hall. This area is presently used by Minnetrista for their outdoor material storage and as a compost site for a number of cities. The site at Minnetrista would have to be regraded to accommodate the storage of materials for both cities. Estimated cost is $114,000 for site work; $60,000 for a used front end loader to be used at the site; and $31,700 to completely reconstruct the access road into the site. Total estimated costs are $205,700. Presently, we do not have a shared service agreement in this particular service area. Due to the size of the space, it is unlikely that any other city would be able to participate in this shared service arrangement. Response: The amount stated in//4 is the necessary one-time only start-up cost for the proposed shared services arrangement. Attached is the preliminary feasibility report listing the estimated costs of the project. Should this project not be totally funded by the Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation, both cities will be sharing in some of the costs. For example, the City of Mound would pay, out of its reserves, for the site work. Minnetrista would pay, out of its reserves, for a portion of the access road reconstruction. In addition, Minnetrista is considering the purchase of a new front end loader for 1994. As a part of this purchase, Minnetrista would be trading in its used loader. It is possible that the City of Mound would pay the trade-in value of the used loader to offset the cost of the new loader and the used loader would be retained for use at the storage site. Thus, the costs to accomplish the shared service arrangement will be shared by Minnetrista and Mound. Both cities welcome the opportunity to work with the Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation. BOARD OF GOVERNMENT INNOVATION AND COOPERATION APPLICATION FORM 6. Response: Although a formal joint powers agreement has not been reached at this time, it is the intention of both cities to negotiate an agreement that will cover this project completely. It will be a long term agreement satisfactory to both parties and will accomplish the major goals of the project for both cities: Mound will have a permanent outdoor storage site for its public works material at a site that is not in the center of its city. It will be able to share the site with another municipality with cost savings potential to both cities. Minnetrista will have a well defined area for its storage use and the ability to handle the storage needs of a growing city. Attached is a resolution passed by the Minnetrista and Mound City Councils indicating a sincere interest in working together on this very important endeavor. Both cities are experiencing difficult financial times. Financial assistance from the Government Board of Innovation and Cooperation would assure Minnetrista and Mound that this project will go forward and become a reality. 7. Response: Mound's interest in this project stems from the fact that it wishes to remove an eye sore from its core. By removing the eye sore, the existing storage site is open to development. The City of Mound has been working on a redevelopment project called "Mound Visions". This program attempts to revitalize the downtown central business district, of which Lost Lake (existing storage site) is a part. Plans call for developing Lost Lake into a Farmers Market with a pavilion, hotel/restaurant and marina (Lost Lake channel abuts the property and opens into Cooks Bay, Lake Minnetonka). By removing the public works outdoor storage site from the Lost Lake, the economic development opportunities for Mound are dramatically increased. In addition, we are able to work with an adjoining city to provide them with an enlarged storage area and the potential for sharing in the economic growth of Mound's central business district area. Minnetfista has no downtown and is a residential community which looks to Mound for economic growth and support. Accomplishing a joint services agreement in outdoor public works storage will result in major improvements for both cities. Other shared service arrangements are likely to come about as well. i.e., shared snow plowing, sharing of heavy equipment, etc. 2 BOARD OF GOVERNMENT INNOVATION AND COOPERATION APPLICATION FORM 9. Response: Minnetrista has passed a resolution (sec copy attached dated November 1, 1993). Mound will be adopting a similar resolution at its next regular meeting which is November 9, 1993. A copy will be forwarded to you following that meeting.

ADOI:rI~D this 1st day of November, 1993 by a vote of Ayes ~ Nays 0 ATTEST: Charlotte Erickson Administrator/Clerk (seal) Feasibility Report for the City of Mound Outdoor Material Storage Minnetrista City Hall~ublic~i"~""~:~}, Site Prepared For: The City of Mound, Minnesota September, 1993 Section I - Introduction The City of Mound has operated their outdoor material storage for many years from the Lost Lake site on County Road 15. Mound has actively investigated numerous sites over the past several years as an alternative to the Lost Lake site. This report has been authorized by the Mound and Minnetrista City Councils and will include preliminary design and cost estimates to relocate Mound's outdoor storage of materials to the area south of Minnetrista City Hall. This area is presently used by the City of Minnetrista for their outdoor material storage and as a compost site for a number of cities. Section II - Existing Site~ ~ost Lake Site - Mound The area presently used by the City of Mound covers approximately three acres. It is used to store the following quantities of material. This list was prepared by the Public Works Department several years ago, but has not changed significantly since that time. 0 Se Sandfill - 1,000 tons· This is used to fill all street openings. This includes watermain breaks, sewer forcemain breaks, gate valve repair, manhole repair, water shut-off repair, storm sewer repair and, in certain cases, yard repair. Most of the sandfill is delivered for $4.90 per ton. Class 5 - 400 tons. This is used for the last 2 feet of fill for all street repairs. When we pick this up we pay $4.25 per ton. If we have it delivered, the cost is $7.65 per ton. 1-1/2" binder rock - 50 tons. This is used for pipe bedding when the soil is wet, the bottom of a watermain break when it is extremely muddy and is sometimes mixed with Class 5 in the last 2 feet of closing up a street opening. Cost is S4.35/ton when we pick it up or $7.75 per ton delivered. Winter mix - 24 tons. This is soft bituminous fill that is used as a temporary patch when Class 5 or 1-1/2 binder cannot be used. One example would be repairing a street opening on a County road. Seal Coat Aggregate - 2,000 tons. This is used for sealcoating the City's roads and is purchased and stockpiled. Rip Rap - 500 to 700 tons. Most of this is used by the Parks Department for shoreline protection and miscellaneous repairs. It is usually purchased in the winter at a 15% to 20% discount and delivered before road restrictions are put in effect. Wall Rock - 30 to 50 tons. This is extra material kept for on-going retaining wall maintenance. Sand - 50 tons. This material is used by the Parks Department for beaches and sand boxes. Street Sweepings. Two primary sweepings during the year produce a large volume of material. The first street sweeping in the spring produces approximately 1,200 tons of material, comprised mostly of winter sand. This material is stockpiled and used during the year by both Public Works and the Parks Department for miscellaneous maintenance and fill projects. 2 The seal coat project each year also generates approximately 600 tons of excess aggregate. This material is also stockpiled and used for miscellaneous projects during the year. Some is mixed with other material and used as fill for street repairs after watermain breaks. 10. Trench Material - Watermain breaks produce saturated material unsuitable as backfill in the street. This material has to be hauled away and stockpiled for future use after drying out. This is the same material mixed with the excess seal coat aggregate and then reused as fill for future street repairs after watermain breaks. 11. Snow Storage - All the snow removed from the Central Business District parking lots and the downtown sidewalks is stored on this site. This requires approximately one acre of storage area, not including access to it. Minnetrista City Hall/Public Works Site The outdoor storage of materials by the City of Minnetrista would include most of the same types of materials. The major difference would be in the quantity required, for example, Class 5 aggregate. Minnetrista would use much more then Mound, because of the greater mileage of gravel roads. The opposite is true for seal coat aggregate, whereas Mound would have more miles of paved roads to seal coat and maintain. 3 Section III - Site Ewaluatio~ aJ Minnetr%sta City Hall/Public Works The entire site contains 12 acres of which approximately six acres lies south of the bituminous parking lot at the Public Works garage. Of this six acres, 2-1/2 are presently used for storage of material and as a compost site. The remaining 3+ acres is partially wooded, vacant land which lies 25 to 30 feet above the present storage'area. This portion of the property would be very difficult to use without major grading. For this reason, we have investigated two alternates. Alternate No. i would make use of the existing flat area where Minnetrista presently stores material, while Alternate No. 2 addresses use of the remaining property. Due to size limitation, a number of activities carried out by the City of Mound at the present Lost Lake site would not be feasible on this property. They would include snow storage, and seal coat aggregate storage. The amount of street sweepings and rip rap stored may also have to be reduced in Alternate No. 1 because of the limited space. Alternate No. I In order to make full use of the present site, the stockpiled materials will need to be confined in a smaller area by use of bins. This can be accomplished by using precast concrete retaining wall sections of the same type used at Mound Public Works to contain their winter salt/sand mixture. Enclosed with this report is Exhibit A, which shows a proposed layout using these precast sections to construct bins to store both Minnetrista and Mound materials. The plan also shows proposed placement of the other miscellaneous stockpiles for each City. The area currently used for compost would remain in the same location. There may need to be some limitation on the amount 4 of harvested milfoil delivered to the site, but we see no problem with the normal amount of leaves and grass clippings composted. The estimated cost for this alternate is $102,000.00, a breakdown of which is included on Exhibit C. Alternate B This proposed plan would make use of the remaining property south of the present storage area. As previously mentioned, this area is 25 to 30 feet above the storage area currently used by Minnetrista. The entire property south of the bituminous lot adjacent to the Public Works building would need to be regraded. The higher area at the south end of the property would be lowered, using the excavated material to raise the elevation of the present storage area. The earthwork would be balanced, thus eliminating the need to remove any material from the site. The topsoil could be used to construct berms on the perimeter of the site. This alternate would provide the storage area for both cities, without the necessity of bins. The use of berms and landscaping would screen the area from adjacent properties. This alternate is estimated to cost 8114,000.00. An itemization of this cost estimate is included in Exhibit C. The natural drainage for the entire storage site is to a small pond of approximately 0.4 acres in size. A controlled outlet was installed in a dike between the pond and drainage ditch when the new City Hall was constructed. This pond acts as a detention area to temporarily store storm water runoff from the storage area. In the future, modifications to this pond may be required if more restrictions are placed on stormwater runoff. Both proposed plans include a berm along the easterly side of the storage site to further direct all runoff to the pond. This berm would be constructed of material excavated from the site. One additional item of improvement that may need to be addressed is the condition of the existing entrance from County Road 110 to the Public Works garage and storage area. The major portion of this driveway appears to be in very poor condition and will only continue to deteriorate with the additional truck traffic generated by the shared storage area. The problem appears to be in the subgrade, which may require complete reconstruction or at least something temporary such as subsurface draintile. For discussion purposes, we have included, in Exhibit D, a cost estimate for draintile and overlay as a temporary repair. Also included is an estimated cost for complete reconstruction of an access road from County Road 110 to the material storage area. Lost Lake Site - Mound All activity at this site would be relocated to the new site at Minnetrista City Hall/Public Works, except possibly the snow storage which could continue until the property is sold or alternative sites are found. It would be possible to use a number of smaller sites located in different areas of town, such as the City-owned property west of Commerce Boulevard and adjacent to Lake Langdon or possibly City parks. Other privately owned properties may also be available, which should be further investigated. The City also uses Lost Lake for their City-wide recycling, which is held twice yearly. This activity could also continue until an alternative site is available. Additional Storage Required - Mound As previously mentioned, the Minnetrista City Hall site would not accommodate the storage of seal coat aggregate and in the case of Alternate No. 1, little or no rip rap storage. The City of Mound would need to re-evaluate their present procedure for seal coating. Currently, all the necessary aggregate is stockpiled in one location at Lost Lake. Either new locations will need to be found for stockpiling, or the Contractor will have to be responsible for delivering the aggregate during the actual seal coating. The short-term storage of rip rap is another problem that could be solved by having the material delivered as it is needed. As previously mentioned, this will raise the cost of material by 15% to 20%. The price of seal coat aggregate also rises substantially if not delivered in off-peak times and stockpiled until applied. Previous cost analysis showed a savings of almost $20,000 over a 3- year period by the City purchasing and stockpiling seal coat aggregate. The salt/sand mixture for winter use would continue to be mixed and stockpiled in the enclosure at the Public Works garage. The distance separation of Mound's material storage from their garaged equipment appears to create the need for an additional loader. Presently, the one loader easily accommodates both the garage and Lost Lake site, because they are only two blocks apart. The winter time appears to be the major problem because a loader is required at the garage to load sand and at the same time may be needed at Minnetrista to load clean fill and winter mix for repairing streets after watermain breaks. There will even be times in the summer when a loader is required simultaneously at the storage site in Minnetrista and on projects in Mound. In discussions with both Public Works, it does not appear that a shared loader at the Minnetrista storage site would be feasible unless it remained there most of the time. Both cities have a need for a loader at the storage site and on projects at the same time. One alternative we see is for Mound to purchase either a new or used loader and then move their present one to the Minnetrista storage site. It would then be possible for both cities to use this machine, maybe working something out so it could even be stored inside when not in use. The estimated cost of a new and used loader is included in the preliminary cost estimate, Exhibit C, attached to this report. Section V - Conclusions and Recommendations Combining the two cities' outdoor material storage at one site appears to be a feasible solution to Mound's long-standing dilemma of replacing the Lost Lake site. On the negative side, there is the initial expense to make the move to Minnetrista, along with some additional operating costs, due to travel involved. On the positive side, not only is the downtown eyesore eliminated, but some monetary value could result in the two cities combining their purchasing power to achieve lower prices for materials. Moving the material storage from Lost Lake will make this property immediately available for development, which is something the City has pursued for a number of years. The shared material storage would also be one of the first steps toward the goal of consolidating City services.

It has the legal authority to adopt the personnel to administer rate regulations. Its procedural rules provide an opportunity for consideration for the views of interested parties. In order to facilitate the City's action to regulate basic service and equipment rates, I contacted Tom Creighton, an attorney who drafted the original cable television franchise for the City of Mound. He responded in a letter dated October 27, 1993, a copy of which is attached, explaining the process in order for the City of Mound to become certified to regulate basic cable rates and the equipment associated with those basic rates. In the letter he explains that the City must file a form FCC-328. He filled out the form for us. I signed the form and mailed it to the FCC, as he instructed. However, in order for the City to proceed in requesting rate regulation from the FCC, the City Council must adopt rate regulation polices and procedures. Attached you will find those Rate Regulations Policies and Procedures along with a resolution for approval of those policies and procedures. Also, attached is a copy of FCC-328 for your review. Creighton has also provided a memorandum that was written to the Burnsville-Eagan Cable Communications Commission regarding the pros and cons of certification. He basically says that the issues have not really changed and that most cities are applying for certification. Thus, that is why I went forward and sent the FCC-328 form in to the FCC. Again, in order for us to proceed, you must adopt the Rate Regulation Policies and Procedures attached. If you do nothing at this point, you will not be able to request rate regulations. Based upon my conversation with Mr. Creighton and the information enclosed, I am recommending that you approve the resolution adopting the Rate Regulation Policies and Procedures. If yOU have any questions, please contact me.

Shukle, Jr. City Manager City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364-1687 Dear Ed: Please find enclosed the information you requested regarding rate regulation. In order to be certified to regulate basic cable rates and the equipment associated with basic rates, the City must file a Form FCC-328. I have filled out the form for you. You only need to sign and date the form. You need to return the original and one copy to the address listed at the bottom and then copy the cable company. If you do file the form, please send a copy to me for my records. I have also enclosed a Memorandum that was written to the Burnsville-Eagan Cable Communications Commission regarding the pros and cons of certification as of August 4, 1993. The issues have really not changed. Most cities are applying for certification. I should note that our experience is showing so far that it is not nearly as expensive as the memo might reflect to file for certification and to regulate rates. If Mound decides to file FCC-328, you must then proceed to adopt the rate regulation policies and procedures which are enclosed. Thirty days after filing FCC-328, assuming you have adopted the rate regulation policies and procedures, you must then notify Triax Cablevision that they are now subject to your rate regulatory authority. They will then have 30 days to give you all the information to explain how they calculated their benchmark rates. I do not mean to "dump" all this material on you, and would be glad to file this information for you and write all the necessary letters. However, it is a little silly at this point to incur expenses when you can do most of this preliminary work at the city level. Mr. Edward J. Shukle, Jr. October 27, 1993 Page 2 If the citywould like me to come out and discuss this issue with them at a public meeting, please contact me and I will glad to assist.

CREIGHTON BERNICK AND LIF$ON A pROFrSSIONAL ASSOCIATION ATTORNEYS AT LAW SUITE 1200 THE COLONNADE 5500 WAYZATA BOULEVARD MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55416 (612) 54-6-1200 FACSIMILE [612) 546-1003 TO: FROM: RE: DATE: Burnsville/Eagan Cable Communications Commission Thomas D. Creighton, Legal Counsel Certification for Rate Regulation August 4, 1993 The 1992 Cable Act requires local authorities wishing to regulate basic service and equipment rates to certify in writing to the FCC that (1) its local rate regulations will be consistent with the rate regulations of the FCC; (2) it has the legal authority to adopt, and the personnel to administer, rate regulations; and (3) its procedural rules provide an opportunity for consideration of the views of interested parties. Currently the FCC has set a date for September 1, 1993 for commencement of the acceptance of filings by franchising authorities. The certification of the franchising authority will become effective 30 days after filing unless the FCC determines that the franchising authority has not met one of the three criteria above. Although the forms have not been officially issued by the FCC, the sample forms provided in the FCC rules indicate a simple procedure of attestation by the franchising authority that it meets the above three requirements. There is no deadline by which a franchising authority must seek certification. The franchising authority has 120 days from the effective date of certification to adopt its local rate regulation rules consistent with FCC rules. However, the franchising authority may start at any time to adopt such rules. Once a franchising authority has been certified and has adopted the appropriate rules, it must notify the cable operator that these requirements have been met and that it intends to regulate basic service rates and rates for equipment required to receive basic service. The cable operator will then have 30 days to file its basic rate schedule (and any supporting material concerning the reasonableness of its rates) with the franchising authority. While some commentators are indicating that the receipt of certification does not necessarily begin the rate regulation process, the rules seem to indicate that upon a franchising authority's receipt of certification, the cable operator must be notified and file rate schedules with the franchising authority for review by the franchising authority. If the franchising authority is able to determine that the cable operator's current rates are within the FCC reasonable rate standards (benchmarks), the rates could go into effect 30 days after they are submitted. If the franchise authority is unable to determine whether the rate in issue is within the Commission's reasonable rate standards, or if the cable operator has submitted cost-of- service showings in order to justify a higher rate, the franchising authority can take an additional periods of time (90 days to receive more information, or 150 to evaluate a cost-of-service showing). Franchising authorities have the right to collect information, including proprietary information, in order to make a rate determination in those cases where current rates exceed benchmarks. If proposed rates are at or below benchmark, information requests from the franchising authority are more limited and relate more to summary information to support the cable company's rates. Because the rate regulatory authority of the federal statutes and rules are discretionary for local franchise authorities, it is important that local policymakers undergo a cost/benefit analysis to determine whether it is in the best interest of the Commission to become certified for rate regulation. Please find below a general discussion of the pros and cons of such certification. Of course, numerous other issues may arise in your minds as policymakers, which should be discussed and addressed at your upcoming meetings. POSSIBLE DETERRENTS TO APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION The primary concern of policymakers may be the expense of rate regulation. It is important to know, up front, that the expenses associated with rate regulation must be paid out of franchise fees. The FCC makes clear that the purpose of franchise fees is to defer the costs of regulation, and it expects franchise authorities to expend their franchise fees in any such regulatory efforts. The expenses of rate regulation will be both direct monetary expenditures on outside legal and accounting help, and the in-kind expense of Commission staff time and the time expended by the Commission itself. Because of the extreme complexity of the rate regulations and the fact that we have no real track record in the regulation of cable rates, it is impossible to estimate the expenses beforehand. An estimate of the minimum expenditures would include such things as the expense of the application for certification (minimal), the expenses associated with the preparation and adoption of rate regulation rules at the local level consistent with FCC rules ($1,000-$2,000) and the review of cable company rates which are represented to be below benchmark (possible expenditures for accountant to evaluate company's benchmark calculations - $1,000-$2,000). A worst case scenario might include a cost-of-service hearing which is more analogous to a traditional telephone-type rate hearing which could cost $10,000 to $20,000 in 2 outside accounting and legal expertise. It should be noted that the FCC has not issued its final cost-of-service rules, and preliminary drafts indicate that this process may be streamlined, saving franchise authorities considerable money. Staff could spend as little as 10% of its time in the 30-60 day development of local rate regulati°ns and certification applications, up to 20-30% of its time for a three month period in full blown cost-of-service hearings. Let me reemphasize that all of these estimates are purely speculative based on my best guess and experience in such hearings. A cost/benefit analysis is further complicated by the fact that few people actually take basic service. As will be discussed later, although few people take basic, more may take basic now that such a level of service is all that is required to receive the premium service channels. Also, it can be argued that all of your subscribers are basic subscribers because expanded basic service subscribers take basic plus more channels and the basic rate ultimately regulated is figured into the FCC benchmarks for expanded basic (which the FCC will regulate if a complaint is received). Furthermore, equipment associated with basic (remote controls) can only be regulated upon certification, and such equipment is often the subject of complaints from your subscribers. Outside of a cost/benefit analysis, there are certain policy/political considerations in rate regulation. I have previously discussed with you that the authority to regulate rates does not simply mean you have the authority to say "no". Your decisions to accept or reject certain rates and rate increases must have a rational basis to survive appeal to the FCC. You are required to produce written findings of fact and conclusions of law which may be reviewed by the FCC. As a result, you may find yourself having to approve existing rates and rate increases, especially in cost-of-service situations. You will no longer be able to say "sorry, we cannot regulate rates." Instead, you may be explaining why you approved a rate increase. The Commission has also experienced a non-adversarial relationship with the cable company over the last number of years of deregulation. The Commission may find itself moving towards a more adversarial relationship with the cable company in a rate hearing process. The cable company has stated that you may want to consider not pursuing certification, and instead, discuss in a more informal environment rates and charges with the cable company. I am not encouraged by the prospect of keeping rates reasonable in a more cordial, negotiating relationship with the cable company. The company does not have a history of being terribly receptive to your input regarding rates in the past, and I do not know what additional "negotiating chips" you have at this time other than the threat of pursuing certification. A final deterrent to rate regulation may be a subtle change in the operation of the Commission. Over the past number of years, the Commission has moved towards a more "hands-on/activist" participatory role in the administration of the franchise. Rate regulation as laid out in the federal rules is far more complicated than anyone assumed. Policymakers will have to let go of numerous details and rely instead on the advice of consultants and experts as they move forward in their decision making processes. This may be a difficult transition for the Commission. POSITIVE ASPECTS OF RATE REGULATION Numerous commentators and municipal consultants are urging cities to proceed with certification. In an era of deregulation, your role has shifted from your original role of significant franchise administration to the implementation and fostering of the development of community programming. Now, however, cable television in the area of rates has been re- regulated at the federal level. Although it is a complicated and difficult process, many commentators assert that you must assume your responsibility to regulate rates because (to put it bluntly), the undertaking of administrative tasks such as rate regulation is expected of you. Your purpose for existing is the administration of the franchise and federal regulations associated therewith. This is not to say that you should regulate rates simply because you can. It is more an argument that you should regulate rates because that is your job. There are other positive reasons for your entrance into the rate regulation arena. Most importantly, in addition to the regulation of basic rates, you are able to oversee rates charged for equipment such as remotes, converters, additional outlets, and installation. You may receive significant political pressure to regulate such rates. If you chose not to regulate, it will be an interesting and possibly complex explanation to an irate subscriber who knows you can regulate rates but have chosen not to. Of all the complaints received from rate payers, numerous complaints have been received regarding the rates charged for remotes and additional outlets. Some cable companies are already asserting that even though the federal regulations contemplate only charging its costs for remotes, the company can still charge fees for the delivery of remote "service". Although the rules prohibit such charges, this has been an ongoing debate with the cable company which no doubt will be the subject of rate hearings if you chose to certify. The federal regulatory scheme establishes benchmarks for rates which are assumed to be reasonable. If you certify, the company must justify for you that their rates are at or below benchmarks or they must be rolled back 10% or to the benchmark, whichever is less. Through certification you have an opportunity to keep rates reasonable (as def'med by the FCC), not only from the start, but in the future. Future rate increases are capped at an inflationary rate unless the company enters into a cost-of-service hearing. The burden would be on the cable company to prove that they must increase their rates more than inflation. Pursuing certification at this time will allow you to set current basic rates at or near the benchmark and keep future rate increases within inflation. Another advantage of rate regulation may be the financial information which is required to be supplied by the company. The company must supply significant information to support not only its benchmark calculations, but also its rates. One of your first tasks would be to determine if the company's benchmark calculations are accurate. It has always been. beneficial for regulators to know as much as they can about the operation of the cable system from a financial perspective. Even if higher rates must be granted through cost-of-service hearings, at least you will know and can explain to subscribers, based on financial information supplied by the company, why rates are higher than the benchmark rates. The books of the company are opened in a cost-of-service hearing and in any situation where a rate would exceed 4 the benchmark. This information may be valuable in your regulation of the cable company. You will get significant information on the operation of the cable company. This information may help you in numerous other regulatory endeavors, including renewal. Some commentators argue that moving towards certification sends a positive message to the cable company that the franchise authority is taking its regulatory authority seriously. It is probable that this new relationship with the company will lapse over into other regulatory decisions which you must make in the future. CONCLUSION Certainly there are numerous other issues which you as policymakers may decide are important in your deliberations. Additionally, my comments, above, are mostly summary comments gleaned from review of existing rules and regulations and numerous commentaries from experts in the field. I will be present during your deliberations and will be pleased to elaborate further on my comments or to answer any other questions which you might have.

It was a very productive three days for me. I had the opportunity to meet and to talk to a good number of city finance officers, investment advisers and other people involved in municipal finances. Of significant value to me was the opportunity to meet individuals with whom I have contact in doing investments. The conference was well prepared and allowed me to attend highly informative presentations. Minnesota House Representative Dee Long made a presentation on the future of State and Local Governments. Attorneys from the State Auditor Office reviewed some legal requirements relating to Municipal Investments. The presentation on Changing Trends in Cash Management was a good update on what is going on with bank services in a time of bank consolidation. Many other accounting issues were discussed. Jim Miller from the League of MN Cities covered topics relating to recent legislative changes affecting local government in the financial area. I appreciate the opportunity given me to attend and I thank the City Council and the City Manager.

The sanders and wings have been installed, 650 ton of salt sand. in the bin and 15 tons of winter mix stock piled. We finished putting up the Christmas decoration and installed a new service for the Christmas tree. We tested the system and everything is ready for the November 16. We spent a few days getting the stockpile ready for the Fall Pickup day. This went very well. Pat completed the Traffic counts for our MSA Streets. This winter I will try to straighten out the No Parking sign problem. I have found that we have signs up were there should not be any signs. I have also found a number of boats that are stored on Public Right-Of Ways. This has been turned over the Police Department. Water Department We finished our hydrant flushing this month. We replaced only 1 hydrant and repaired 4. The water and sewer services for the Old Fina service station at Conunerce and Three Points were disconnected and the owners are now in the process of removing the contaminated soil. The building is to be removed at a later date. The specification for the Meter Program will be completed by the middle of November. Sewer Department We spent the month cleaning and servicing the lift station for winter. We have started gathering data and measuring the lift station for the~4 project. CITY of MOUND 534~ MA¥\'/©OD ROAD MOUND MINNESOTA 55364 ~687 FAX ~612, 4-2-0620 November 2, 1993 TO: MAYOR, CITY MANAGER AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: JOEL KRUMM, LIQUOR OPERATIONS MANAGER OCTOBER MONTHLY REPORT SUBJECT: Sales in October were good, about the same as last year. Generally speaking, the month was rather uneventful. The Halloween weekend was the only occasion witch seemed to boo-st sales. We seem to be getting a numerous amount of bad checks recently. One individual has passed nine checks on us totaling over $200. His name is Mr. Jack O'Lantern (Irish I believe) who works the graveyard shift at a company west of here called the Patch. He drives an orange and black 1970 Chevy Maliboo and if apprehended, should be considered scary. On a more serious topic, even though October is a slow month, keeping up around here can really be a monster. It's a ghould thing I have such an excellent staff to assist me. Spooking of my staff, I had to hire two new employees last month, a Mr. Frank and a Mr. Stein. They appear to be nice guys, a little green and stiff around the edges yet. Well, November is here and the holidays are approaching. Boy, will I give thanks to that.

The effects of low interest rates are not having a substantial effect on construction activity at this time. There were 34 plumbing, mechanical, and miscellaneous permits issued for a total of 65 permits this month and 548 year-to-date PLANNING & ZONING Five zoning cases were forwarded by the Planning Commission to the city Council. The Planning commission briefly discussed Truth in Housing and assigned certain duties back to the subcommittee.

Over the winter, this person will flood skating rinks and help out as needed on snow removal and small maintenance projects. Ail winter equipment has been prepared for snow removal. Docks The 1994 dock application forms have been updated and are ready for the Council to review. The Dock Inspector is currently visiting all dock site areas to observe dock storage and ensure compliance to winter guidelines. Cemetery The cemetery has been marked in preparation for winter burials. New location markers have been placed in the ground to allow for easier locating with the use of a metal detector. T_rees Two trees have been removed from City property, and no complaints have been received about property. JF:pj 357a printed on recycled paper CITY of NI()UND November 3, 1993 TO: FROM: RE: CITY MANAGER CITY CLERK OCTOBER 1993 MONTHLY REPORT The City Council had 2 regular meetings with 12 resolutions. There was Agenda preparation and items to clear up after each meeting. The assessment hearings were held on the following : CBD Parking Maintenance; Delinquent Sewer & Water Bills; Unpaid Mowing Charges. Resolutions were prepared and will be certified to the County for all the above assessments. I continue to input the Code Book into the computer when there is time. Eventually I will have the entire thing on and changes will be a snap. I sold several cemetery lots in October. Then there were calls for staking of graves. I got a new hard drive for the computer so that I have more memory for the programs that we have. That required installing all the programs and restoring the Clerk's Index. I attended several meetings for upcoming election legislation that will be presented in the next session. We are trying to work closely with the Secretary of State's office. There were the usual calls and questions from the public. fc printed on recycled p,~per BOARD MEMBERS Dav,d H.

STROMMEN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR li[ '[l NOV 3 1993 TO: MOUND CITY COUNCIL DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 1993 FROM: TOM REESE, LMCD REPRESENTATIVE SUBJECT: OCTOBER REPORT - LMCD 1.0 Eurasion Watermilfoil Task Force. 1.1 We have abandoned for this season the attempt to modify one of our harvesters to try out the suggested weed pulling method. Costs would have been great and the weed season is past, so an adequate trial could not be had. In addition, further examination indicated that the method, even if successful, would not have wide application on Lake Minnetonka. An analysis, using reasonable data, showed that to harvest the 600 acres we did this year, using the pulling method would require 15 harvesters and almost triple our budget requirements. It may have some application in shallow waters and around docks. 1.2 The Sonar enclosure trials are completed. The data is being analyzed. As predicted here, the trials really had some flaws, so the data resulting will be limited in what it portrays. This notwithstanding, the DNR has committed to whole small lake tests in 1994, which is what should have been done in the first place, saving a year. 1.3 The spontaneous disappearance or regression of certain infestations continues to baffle EWM experts. I have personally observed areas in Lake Minnetonka, where I first noticed heavy growth and surface matting, where now there is little or no milfoil. The infestation in Vadnais Lake in St Paul is now less than half of what it once was. This reservoir lake has no traffic and has had no mechanical or chemical control. 2.0 Lake Management Plan 2.1 Environment~ The work of reorganizing this effort has been undertaken by Dick Osgood, the environmental consultant. A survey has been taken of stake holders gathering their concerns on environmental matters. EWM remains the top concern. The further results are allowing Dick to prioritize his efforts. 2.2 Lake Access; The obtaining of the written agreements with the cities for access parking proceeds slowly. It would help this program if Mound could conclude its agreement. There is real foot dragging on this by certain of the cities. I feel that this is due to the feeling that persons who launch their boats at public accesses are the only users who pay nothing to use the lake. 2.3 Other Rcven~e $ource~, The emergence of some type of a boat sticker for use on Minnetonka and perhaps other metro lakes might help solve the problem in 2.2 above. This would require legislative action. LMCD is putting together such an initiative, at least in draft form to review with other affected agencies. 3.0 Other General Items 3.1 Tom Wortman the builder of the Gideons' Point development submitted yet another request for variance for the four west end lots. This time a minimum variance was granted. The nature of the impact on the wetlands is minimal, and is supported by the DNR. This was a very reluctant action by the LMCD, but the alternative would have been an injustice to innocent property owners, and doubtless, litigation. 3.20rono council has voted to abolish the LMCD. The Mound council positive action was timely and welcome. Excelsior and Tonka Bay have discussed the matter and without formal action decided that the LMCD is the only game in town and needs to be preserved and improved. Action by other councils is anticipated. 3.3 We are proceeding with the development of a very simple ordinance on the control of lakeside lighting. It will include a performance specification designating what types of lights are acceptable. It is hoped that cities will all adopt this ordinance in its specifics or by reference to the LMCD ordinance. 4.0 Mound Specific Items_ 4.1 Robert and l~arbara Floeder 3027 Bluffs Ln have been granted a variance similar to the one granted the Stocks. The properties are mirror images of one another. Mound Representative - LMCD cc. Gene Strommen LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT 11/1/93 TO: INFO TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayors, LMCD Member Cities City Administrators, LMCD Board Members Chair Bill Johnstone Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Third Quarter Mayor's Report and Discussions Concerning LMCD's Role in Representing its Member Cities Mayors' participation in the quarterly LMCD Mayors Report is a valuable communication forum. The board appreciates your taking the time to share thoughts as well as to hear LMCD's progress on its range of issues. The September 24 meeting report is forwarded to share the comments made among the mayors. Board members' observations about this meeting include: 1. There is a need for continued improvement of communication with member cities. 2. The LMCD needs to more clearly communicate to city officials its responsibilities in governing the lake. The state enabling act creating the LMCD and Management Plan objectives and policies need to be periodically referenced. (background enclosed) 3.Most cities prefer to retain their individual board member rather than have them combined. 4. A single organization managing lake concerns is still recognized as useful and necessary. 5. Funding to carry out lake programs should be more equitably shared by public lake users. Since the mayor's meetinG, some cities have addressed LMCD's role and manner in which it is being carried out. Their responses have been constructive while raising questions. One city, Orono, passed a resolution calling for LMCD's dissolution. That resolution is enclosed. LMCD board members are being asked to continue their'personal contacts with their city councils to obtain feedback. An LMCD board workshop, 9:00 am, Saturday, November 20, will dedicate further time to addressing city concerns. The board is committed to an open exchange with city officials to resolve any unmet expectations. Thank you for continuing to express your interests to your board member as well as the board as a whole. 3' 7y LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT THIRD QUARTER 1993 REPORT TO THE MAYORS MEETING REPORT 7:00 AM Friday, September 24, 1993 Lafayette Club, Minnetonka Beach PRESENT: Jerry Rockvam, Mayors: John Anderson, Excelsior; Skip Johnson, Mound; Spring Park; Bob Gisvold, Wayzata; Ed Callahan, Orono; Nick Duff, Woodland; Dick Engebretson, Deephaven; Vern Haug, Tonka Bay; Bob Abdo, Minnetonka Beach; Scott Carlson, Minnetrista (also LMCD Board member and treasurer). LMCD Board members: Tom Penn, Vice chair, Tonka Bay; Bill Johnstone, Minnetonka; Doug Babcock, Secretary, spring Park; Tom Reese, Mound; Bert Foster, Deephaven; Mike Bloom, Minnetonka Beach; George Owen, Victoria. Also present: Senator Gen Olson; JoEllen Hurr, Orono Council; Eugene Strommen, LMCD Executive Director; Rachel Thibault, LMCD Admin. Technician; John Mugford, Sun-Sailor. 1. Welcome and introductions: Tom Penn, for chair Cochran, welcomed those present and asked everyone to introduce themselves. Penn announced the new officers of the LMCD Board who will be taking office at the October 27th Board meeting. 2. Discussion of the 8/22/93 concept draft report on LMCD Organization: Johnstone reviewed the main topics of the 8/22/93 Administrative Subcommittee memorandum submitted as a concept draft report to the mayors, city council members and city administrators. Johnstone then asked the mayors to comment on the report. The comments of the mayors were as follows: ~auo. Tonka Bav: *Haug strongly favors a 14 member board. He does not want Tonka Bay to be without a representative. *His feeling is that if people want to play on the lake they should pay. *He suggested that the LMCD Board members could do the preparatory work on board issues. Then the mayors could make the decisions for the District. ~arlson, MinnetristH: *Carlson's concern is that the LMCD has more responsibility than originally planned, eg. Eurasian water milfoil (EWM) control. *Carlson feels that a smaller board is more efficient, but is not sure how the District should be redivided. *Regarding broader based funding, he doesn't see that much more funding is required except for the EWM program. The boat registration fee has been discussed as one way to raise funds. *There should be a consensus between the cities and LMCD Board on these issues before going to the legislature. ~ockvam, SDrino Par~: *Rockvam does not think that the reorganization of the board is going to happen because none of the cities want to give up a vote. *He sees the primary issue of funding the LMCD is with the EWM program. The 14 cities have tried to fund the program alone, but the lake is public waters. He wonders why the state is not funding the program. *He thinks the funding of the EWM program, possibly through more money from the DNR boat surcharge or a boat user sticker, should be the focus of any legislation. He sees it as dangerous to go to the legislature for anything else. ~ohnson, Mound: *Johnson said that the Mound Council members are okay with combining Mound and Spring Park for one representative. They feel that a seven member board is more manageable. 35?,$' Third Quarter Report to the Mayors, 9/24/93 Meeting Report, PaGe 2 Johnson, Mound, continuedl *He suggested commissions to do some of the background work for the board and more citizen participation. *He would like to see the boat sticker funding implemented. Callahan, Orono[ *His personal opinion is that the LMCD should be abolished. He suggested that the lake management could be done better by a joint powers agreement. *The LMCD was originally founded to regulate certain things. Now it is trying to bring other bodies together as a facilitator to define what the other agencies and cities are going to do. As a facilitator, it is not a guardian of the lake, but an agent of outside agencies, such as the DNR and MCWD. *He feels that a seven member board is more efficient, but the structure is not the problem. He feels that institutionally it is not useful any more. Johnson, Mound: *Johnson asked Callahan if that was the opinion of the 0rono council members. Callahan responded that he plans to bring the matter to the Orono council to see if it would want to make a resolution to disband the LMCD. *Johnson said that he would like to ask the question of all the lake cities as to whether or not they want to disband the LMCD. If not, then they need to quit discussing it and move on. Senator Gen Olso~: *Olson asked, if the LMCD is disbanded, then what do the cities propose to take its place? The second question for the cities to ask is what is the appropriate way of managing the lake. Abdo, Minnetonka Beach: *Abdo said that he feels that the LMCD is for the betterment of the Lake. With a joint powers agreement, who would be responsible to govern the lake and the shoreline? The lake belongs to the state, and he is not sure a group of cities would have the right to govern the lake. Callahan, OrQpo: *Callahan said that Orono does not feel it has a fair representation with one vote. However, he recognizes that weighting the representation would not be acceptable to smaller cities. *Callahan asked what the LMCD is doing. Taking care of the environment? He's not sure LMCD is. EWM control would be done by the DNR if not the LMCD. On multiple dock licensing, LMCD doesn't do anything Orono couldn't do. The Water Patrol could be governed by a joint powers agreement. *The DNR and Met Council drove the Management Plan to keep LMCD in existence. *LMCD has no powers to deal with other authorities. ~ohnson, Mound: *Johnson said that the LMCD is the joint powers agreement for the lake. The LMCD is a necessary buffer ~or the cities. It is up to the cities to get close to their LMCD representatives and have the representatives explain what is happening to the councils. Once appointed, board members should not be under the thumb of the city councils, as they need to do what is best for the whole lake. Duff, Woodland: *He hears that the LMCD doesn't do enough, or it does too much. He agrees that the LMCD needs to work more efficiently. However, if the LMCD were disbanded, something new would have to replace it. *As a small city they would like to have a voice. He suggested an executive committee of seven board members (to counsel the full board). *Duff feels there is a need to have better communication between the board and the cities. The cities should be advised befor~ decisions are made. Third Quarter Report to the Mayors, 9/24/93 Meeting Report, Page 3 ~nderson, Excelsior~ *Anderson said that Lake Minnetonka is a special resource upon which the lake cities depend. He supports *He is not in favor of taking action to disband the LMCD. working to improve the LMCD. ~ockvam, sprinq Parka *Rockvam sees a credibility problem with the LMCD. He thinks there is a problem with reorganizing. He supports an Executive committee. He also wants to get issue of disbanding out of the way. *Rockvam believes the Management Plan was the cause of the credibility problem. The Board did not listen to the cities and as a result the Met Council had someone rewrite the plan. He sees the goals and objectives as difficult to implement due to lack of funds. *Rockvam was upset that some of the temporary minimum wake buoys were left in after the high water emergency was lifted. *Rockvam said that the Technical Review committee was supposed to be a temporary committee, now it is permanent. (The executive director explained it was extended one year at the cities' willingness to participate.) *He feels that the LMCD Environment committee overlaps the MCWD jurisdiction. He said the LMCD is getting out of its ballpark. Carlson, Minnetrist~: *In response to Rockvam's comments, carlson said that the Management Plan identifies objectives and has assigned agencies for each issue. The LMCD was identified as having a coordinating role for some issues. The LMCD has been charged to be the coordinator for Lake Minnetonka because it looks at the lake full time while other agencies deal with it part time. *Carlson believes there will be only a marginal increase in funding required to implement the Management Plan. Most objectives are funded by other agencies. G~svold, Wayzatat The LMCD should *Gisvold believes the Management Plan is a "turf' issue. monitor lake quality. When the LMCD comes above the shoreline it causes a problem. The cities do not need another government agency controlling them above the shoreline. *Gisvold recommended staying away from the legislature. He said the LMCD should get focused on its original purpose of managing the lake. He feels the LMCD has mostly done a good job. *Gisvold thinks that the subcommittee reviewing reorganization should have representatives from the cities. ~enator Olson:. · *Olson has concerns about bringing these matters to the legislature she strongly urged not proposing any action until there is strong agreement among the cities. *Olson said to put a plan together as the legislators prefer to deal with an issue that has agreement among affected groups. *Regarding broader based funding, she said not to bring up the boat user fee until the 700 car-trailer parking issue is resolved. Johnstone,. ~Johnstone asked the mayors to bring the question of whether or not there should be an LMCD to the councils. enough *Penn said that part of the frustration is that the LMCD is not hearing from the board members. The board members are not bound to do what the city council says, but the cities should let their board members know about their concerns to bring to the LMCD Board. Third Quarter Report to the Mayors, 9/24/93 Meeting Report, Page 4 3. Evaluation of proposal for board member alternates: A 9/8/93 letter from LMCD Attorney Charles LeFevere was distributed which explains that neither the LMCD nor the cities have the legal right to appoint an alternate to a board member. The organization was created by the Legislature, rather than by the cities. Therefore the LMCD is governed by the law creating it. This law does not allow for board alternates. LeFevere also gave several reasons it would not be a good idea to have alternates. 4. Voluntary aspect of Cities' contributions to Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) control budget: Penn gave an overview of what the EWM Task Force has been doing. He reported that outside agencies are a key part of the EWM control program. The LMCD has attempted to get the most for its money. He stated that the cities contribution to the EWM control program is a voluntary contribution and always has been. He feels the cities get their money's worth. He asked for continued support from the cities. The EWM task force and the LMCD will continue to make the EWM program more efficient. He said the LMCD will ask for more county and state help for EWM control. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 AM.

Presently the LMCD, cities and state agencies that have a hand in managing Lake Minnetonka maintain active regulatory and reactive enforcement postures. The overall objective of this plan is for the various managing entities to coordinate their management activities on the lake in order to avoid duplication of efforts and for the LMCD to facilitate interagency coordination while continuing to be a strong and consistent advocate for Lake Minnetonka. If the environmental quality and user experience on the lake is to be protected, difficult decisions will have to be made by all managing entities. Decisions that control certain types of lake use and access and that impose necessary environmental controls to enhance water quality will not be popular, but they are needed for the good of the lake as a whole. Every agency involved with Lake Minnetonka is affected by this plan. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) need to improve the funding of existing programs, tighten regulatory controls and provide more enforcement. The cities need more extensive shoreland management and environmental protection programs. The LMCD needs more clearly defined goals, more consistent access policies and a program for better regulating ever increasing use of the lake in the summer. The plan includes general goals for lake use and recreation management and for environmental protection and management for Lake Minnetonka. It contains specific management objectives (outcomes) that are identified by year. It also contains policy statements that suggest the preferred course of action that should be taken to meet the objectives, and identifies lead and supporting agencies for each of the policies. Lead agencies are the agencies identified as having the primary responsibility for carrying out a given policy. In most cases, lead agencies also have the principal jurisdictional authority; but in some cases, the lead agency has little real authority, and its principal job is to facilitate or coordinate the activities of other agencies having more direct jurisdiction for the actually implementing the policy. This plan is based on extensive research and assistance provided by the 14 lake cities, cooperating agencies, and consultants. It incorporates by reference the materials contained in the Lake Minnetonka Management Plan Working Papers, which assembles much of the background research upon which this plan is based. Appendix 1 includes terms used in the plan. LAKE USE AND RECREATION MANAGEMENT The "Lake Use and Recreation Management" chapter of the Management Plan for Lake Minnetonka establishes an overall goal for managing the surface use of Lake Minnetonka, proposes specific objectives that need to be accomplished before the end of this decade in order to better manage the lake environment, and identifies the lead agencies and cooperating agencies that in the view of the LMCD should have the responsibility for carrying out related management activities related to Lake Minnetonka. Lake Minnetonka is the premier general recreation lake in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, and every effort should be made to maintain and enhance its general recreational potential. The recreational use of the surface of Lake Minnetonka should be managed for broad public use with special focus on improving the quality of the user experience. The public and private recreational lands surrounding the lake should be managed for the broadest public use and to minimize conflict between different types of uses. As one of the few water bodies in the region large enough for recreational use by large sail and power boats, Lake Minnetonka should be managed to ensure its long-term availability for such craft. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT Lake Minnetonka must continue to be an open, fresh water lake capable of supporting year- round recreational activities. Its waters should be as clear and free of pollutants as practical. The accelerated succession of the lake should be controlled to ensure that Lake Minnetonka can continue to exist as an open-water recreational lake into the foreseeable future. Algae and other vegetative growth in the lake should be balanced to provide adequate aquatic habitat and human enjoyment of the lake. The challenge facing resource managers protecting the natural environment in and near Lake Minnetonka is to implement development controls that will inhibit the decline in water quality and the functional values of wetlands. Plans to protect the natural environment should extend beyond the shoreland of the lake to include the entire upper basin. In order to achieve environmental protection goals, the LMCD has to rely on other agencies and the 14 cities. While the LMCD has authority to regulate activities below the 929.4-foot contour (ordinary high water) on Lake Minnetonka, the cities on the lake have authority to regulate activities above that level, and the DNR and the MCWD have regulatory powers extending both above and below the ordinary high water level. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE The Management Plan forges a new partnership between the LMCD, cities, MCWD, Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District, Hennepin County, Carver County, the Hennepin Conservation District, the Carver County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Metropolitan Council and the DNR. An important role of the LMCD is to advocate lake programs, keep partnerships functioning and maintain consensus with respect to priorities and programs. The management structure builds on strengths and does not create a new layer of government with its corresponding bureaucracy. An essential function of the LMCD, beyond its regulatory programs, is to help assure that other agencies have the resources to imple~nent their programs. The LMCD does this by being the foremost advocate for the lake, not by direct funding. In this way, traditional authorities and programs are maintained and enhanced when warranted. Funding for lake management will shift more of the costs to users. But beyond that, the existing taxing authority of the LMCD is proposed to be continued without change. IMPLEMENTATION The Implementation chapter summarizes the management activities presented in this plan by year in which activities need to commence in order to meet the dates established in the management objectives spread throughout the plan. The purpose of this chapter is to clearly identify management activities by date and agency, so that managing entities can budget their own resources as needed to accomplish the proposed activities on time. 2 388: Thursday Thursday Friday Monday Thursday Friday Wednesday Tuesday LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT 900 E.

The hearing was held to consider the application of Robert and Barbara Floeder, the owners of property located on Halsteds Bay at 3027 Bluffs Lane, Mound, Minnesota. The application of Mr. & Mrs. Floeder was for a variance from the setback limitations provided by the LMCD Code of Ordinances. Mr. & Mrs. Floeder appeared at the hearing on behalf of the application. The subject lot was platted in December, 1974. It has approximately 20 feet of shoreline. Under the LMCD Code of Ordinances, lots platted after February 2, 1970 require a 10 foot setback from each extended lot line. Therefore, the subject property has no dock use area without a variance. The board finds that this is a hardship within the meaning of LMCD Code Section 1.07, subd. 1. In determining whether to ~rant a variance, the board must conclude not only that there is a hardship, but that granting the variance, along with whatever conditions are deemed necessary by the Board, will not adversely affect the purposes of the LMCD ordinances, the public health, safety, and welfare, and reasonable access to or use of the lake by the public or riparian owners. Under Section 1.07, subd. 6, the Board may only grant variances when it is demonstrated that such action is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. The variance requested in this case is significant. There will be many cases in which it is not appropriate to allow docks or boat storage on lots as small as 20 feet L,KllO-4 1_ wide. Here, however, the Board finds that there are a number of factors which tend to reduce the impact of granting the variance request. Among these are the following: 1. Halsteds Bay is a remote bay on Lake Minnetonka which tends to reduce the impact of boat storage on the public as a whole. The subject parcel is located along a concave shoreline which reduces the effect of a somewhat higher boat storage density on the public and the lake generally. The parcel is on the north end of Halsteds Bay. This end of the bay is largely developed. Therefore, there is little reason to expect that future development of this area, together with the effect of this variance, will create too great a density of boat storage on this part of the lake. The subject lot is adjacent to larger lots. The adjacent lots to the west and east are 57 and 111 feet in width respectively. Although there is one other 20 foot lot in the same development, the remainder of the shoreline has been developed at lot sizes which are substantially larger. The District has determined that it is appropriate to grant the right to somewhat greater boat storage in the case of single family residential lots which are occupied by houses and where the watercraft are owned by the residents of the site. See Code Section 2.02. In this case, the site is occupied by a single family residence and the boats stored at the site will be owned by residents of the site. The variance preserves a 5 foot setback on each side. There is no adjustment of extended lot lines and there will be no encroachment of either docks or boats across extended lot lines or into neighboring dock c ,oo., 10-4 7. The owners of adjacent dock use areas have stated that they have no objections to the granting of the variance as long as it does not encroach into their dock use areas. Additionally, there has been a dock and boat on this site since before 1977 when the Floeders purchased the lot, with the dock in place. Neither of these facts is dispositive of the question whether to grant a variance; however, both are evidence that constructing and maintaining a dock at this site has not created any problems in the past, and therefore is not likely to do so in the future. 8. The 1973 Lake Use Study Boat Density Indexes contained in the Boat Density Policy Statement adopted by the Board on October 13, 1974 showed Halsteds Bay as one of the few bays on the lake not considered to be in critical or potentially critical condition with respect to boat density. It was one of the least crowded bays in terms of boats stored per water acre and boats stored per mile of shoreline. Therefore, granting the requested variance will not be contributing to substantial overcrowding,. 9. The restrictions imposed by the following order will help substantially to reduce any potential adverse impacts. The dock allowed will be small, and no canopy will be allowed. Additionally, the owner will be limited to storage of one watercraft of moderate size at the dock. On the basis of the foregoing, the Board concludes that there is a hardship and that granting the variance requested will not have an adverse impact on the purposes of the LMCD Code of Ordinances, the public health safety and welfare, or reasonable access to or use of the lake by the public or by other riparian owners. The Board further finds that granting the variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. 3 60021 'l~lll~°-~ 3 ORDER On the basis of the foregoing, it is ordered that the variance requested be granted subject to the following conditions and limitations. 1. The dock constructed at the site may be no more than 40 feet in length, and must be a single straight dock with no "L", "T", etc. The dock may be no more than 3 feet in width. 2. Only one boat or watercraft may be stored at the dock, and such watercraft may not have a beam of more than 8 feet. 3. No canopy may be constructed in conjunction with the dock. 4. The dock and boat storage shall be so constructed, located, and maintained that a § foot setback shail be maintained on each side of the subject parcel. The variance provided for herein shall grant no vested rights to the use of Lake Minnetonka. Such use shall at all times remain subject to regulation by the District to assure the public of reasonable and equitable access to the lake. By order of the Board of Directors of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District this 27 day of October , 1993.

The Building Official, Jon Sutherland, explained that this is an update on this case only, the item was tabled at the last meeting. Sutherland recently discussed the case with Mr. Fleischhacker, the DNR, and the State Archeologist at the Historical Society, and he is currently waiting for a response from the Historical Society. The Historical Society needs to review their history on indian mounds on that property or in that area, and review this history with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and then they will get back to us with a response. Sutherland explained that Mr. Fleischhacker is being patient and willing to go through whatever regulations apply, but he is also anxious.

Building Official, Jon Sutherland, explained to the Commission that this property received a 79.74 square foot lot size variance on June 22, 1993, Resolution $93-79, to allow construction of a single family dwelling. 3gg Planning commission Minutes October 25, 1993 . conforming to setbacks, note Exhibit A. ~e oriainal proposal was .... with the permit application to avoid two ~ - - ~ ~e~uired 15 rear ya notified the appll~an~_ _A~,~ ~ ~n inq location. After the the survey was revlsea ~o ~=~ ....... form property was re-staked, staff received a call from a concerned neighbor who does not want the oak tree removed as the tree provides shade, has an aesthetic value, and if at all possible it should be saved. Staff again reviewed the placement of the dwelling with the applicant and the city Planner, and this revised request is a result of that discussion. Corner lots have been the subject of several recent variance cases ' , 'th the placement of structures on these due to the d~flc~ ~)~e ~reservation policy states,. ots.

Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the revised footprint as shown on Exhibit B, resulting in an 8.9 foot setback variance to the required 15' foot rear yard setback allowing construction of a single family dwelling and preservation of the oak tree. Voss questioned the life expectancy of the tree. Sutherland noted that he is not an expert on the issue, but has seen many trees of this type of oak much larger than this in other parts of town. Johnson questioned if the neighbor to the northwest on Tract B has been notified that this house is proposed to be moved within 6 feet of the lot line. The Building official confirmed that he has not been notified. Johnson questioned how close you can get to a 30 inch oak tree without killing it. sutherland commented that when building close to a tree they say you should stay out of the drip line, and he noted that with this proposal, the house will only nick the drip line. He added, if he didn't think the tree could be saved, he would not have brought this request to the Planning commission. Commissioner Bill Meyer arrived at 7:46. It was noted that the house would be in the drip line of the Maple if it was required to meet a 15 foot rear yard setback. Planning Commission Minutes October 25, 1993 Hanus reviewed that the rear yard could be treated as a side yard. Sutherland agreed and confirmed that the City Planner stated that the rear yard on this property is essentially a side yard, and if this property were a lot of record, the required side yard setback would be 6 feet. It was noted that the house on Tract B faces Dale Road, there is no garage on the site, and their driveway is between the subject house and the house on Tract B. There is approximately 20 feet from the house on Tract B to the subject property line and there is a row of hedges along that line. The neighbor to the south, Matthew Bartel, would like the trees saved as he feels by moving the house closer to the northwest property line keeps the corner of Dale and Glasgow more open and it saves two shade trees. It was noted that the property is already nonconforming, regardless of the setback. HOTION made by Voss, seconded by Weiland to recommend to the City Council that a 8.9 foot rear yard setback variance be approved to alloe construction of a nee dwelling as it is realized, that this lot could be functional with a 6 foot rear yard setback which is essentially a side yard. &pproval is contingent upon staff attempting to notify the o~ner of Tract B and relaying the setback variance issue prior to the October 26, L993 City Council meeting. MOTION carried 7 to 1. Those in favor were: Meyer, Mueller, Weiland, Jensen, Voss, Hanus, and Michael. Johnson was opposed. Johnson commented that he is uncomfortable with the fact that the neighbor on Tract B was not notified, and he feels it is a 50/50 shot the tree will die anyway. This request will be heard by the City Council on October 26, 1993. DISCUSSION - PROPOSED TRUTH IN HOUSING ORDIN~NCF Building Official, Jon Sutherland, referred to page 9 in the packet which is the Planning Commission Minutes of September 27, 1993 relating to Truth in Housing Discussion with Evaluators, and asked for opinions from the Commission relating to the following items from the minutes: It is a good idea to keep the ordinance as simple as possible and don't reinvent the wheel and to use other cities. The Commission agreed. Planning commission Minutes October 25, 1993 It was suggested the City adopt a complete set of housing codes on which to base the ordinance, similar to the Minneapolis Housing Maintenance ordinance. It was also noted the basic issues are addressed within our proposed ordinance. The minimum requirements as drafted for our Truth in Housing ordinance are adequate. Disclosure Resor~. The form is bulky and should have fewer pages, 4 or less. The verbiage at the top of each page does not need to be repeated. Make sure the line spacing on the form is adaptable to typewriter spacing. It was suggested that .valuators who have specific concerns about verbiage on the Disclosure Report could mail corrected forms back to the City of Hound. Why is the seller not required to sign? No comments have been received yet. Sutherland talked with Harold Hoes- who stated that a report from the MSHI is due to be submitted prior to the November 22, 1993 Planning Commission Meeting. Hoese had commented that they would prefer the zoning information on the first page. · zoning" Disclosure Report: a n about the amount of time it will take for the There is a concer_ ~ -~-~ ~o often an urgency for the · City to process this report. ~'~=~ ~' - · -- -~e t to be available for a snowing or o~rer, xn disclosure repor ........... ~ ~,~ v slow their ,valuators are concerned the city ~urn-axuu,~u ~ ..... ma~ timetable. b. The following process was suggested for the Zoning Disclosure Report: The Evaluator requests the zoning report from the City for a particular property. 2) The City will mail the report to the party specified by the Evaluator. 3) It is the seller or agents responsibility to ensure that the Zoning Disclosure Report is attached to the Housing Disclosure Report within 10 days of the date of the Housing Disclosure Report. This process will need to be investigated. Sutherland commented that the report should be reduced to one page. It was determined that this process and the forms should be reviewed by the subcommittee and staff. Insurance requirements. It was suggested that the City of Mound have the same limitations as the City of Minneapolis. A possible typo was noted within the proposed ordinance, Section 3~8, pages 5-6, lines 194 - 199; it was questioned if $250,000 for general liability was correct, it seemed too high. Planning Commission Minutes October 25, 1993 Staff will check into this. 13. Should condominium units with central mechanical systems be inspected? Most of the evaluators were in favor of requiring an inspection for condominiums as they often find plumbing problems, problems with electrical outlets, etc. The subcommittee shall review. A~ annual meeting should be held between the evaluators and the administrator of the program. Communications lines should be kept open at all times. The administrator should review reports occasionally and give feedback to evaluator to let them know if inspections are acceptable. The subcommittee shall review. CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE'S REPOR? Liz Jensen asked if there were any questions on the October 12, 1993 Council minutes, and there were none. Jensen reviewed the COW meeting of October 19, 1993, and highlighted the following topics: Outdoor Storage with the City of Minnetrista, Water System Improvements, Park Dedication Fees, County Road 15 traffic in Spring Park, and the City Christmas Park which is scheduled for December 17th.

I appreciate knowing, and share your views. The federal government is suffocating state and local jurisdictions with its ongoing stream of federal mandates. Congress is constantly buying into new programs with disregard as to the costs to state and local governments. It is estimates that federal mandates passed during the 101st Congress will cost state governments $15 billion over 5 years. It is time for Congress to stop passing unfunded federal mandates. I have taken two steps in stopping these unfair and irresponsible actions. I have joined several of my colleagues in forming a Congressional Caucus on Unfunded Federal Mandates. Our working group will work to remedy this growing problem. Secondly, I have signed on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 140, the Federal Mandates Relief Act. If passed, this bill would ensure the federal government would bear the costs incurred by stats and local governments when complying with federal regulations. I hope these actions will be the first step in reducing the financial burden placed on state and local g~vernmen~$. Again, thank you for writing. Sincerely, Cc Member of Congress CCP/ntg PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
