page 2, F re Marshal cont.
Prevention is needed. Proof that it works and data show n9 the
battle against fire suggest that something more needs to be done.
A concern for publ c safety, by actively promoting preventions, and
providing vision and leadership, will increase our stature and
promote a better mage to our citizens.
Inspections are intended to prevent f re from occurring because
the inspector identifies fire hazards which could cause a fire,
allow a fire to develope, or allow a f re to spread once ignited.
In addition to locating and correctin9 accumulation of combustible
trash and debris, storage practices, proper maintenance and safe
operation of building utilities.
During the inspections process, technical information on the
building and the processes should be collected. When used in
prefire planning, this kind of information can be used as a
valuable source for handing a fire at any property. Inspections
provide an opportunity to educate the owners or occupants of a
building about the need for adequate fire and life safety
conditions.
Lastly and most importantly, we can reduce the devastating impact
of fire. Fire fighting is one of the most dangerous professions.
Lets try to reduce the risk on our volunteer firefighter's, by
stopping fires before they occur.
The need for a full time Fire Marshal/Prevention Officer continues.
Let us continue making the communities we serve a safer place to
work and live.
Thank You,
Mike Palm
Mound Fire Marshal
FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT FOR 1995
MIKE PALM AND TIM PALM
This year the Mound Fire Department experienced the busiest year
ever, in the history of the fire dept. Inspections that were
conducted were done mainly by request. Inspections were done
either in the evenings or weekends, since we both have full time
jobs out of the City.
The biggest portion of my work is done by phone or by fax, and the
largest proJects involved were the remodeling at the schools.
Reviewin9 plans, talking to contractors, conducting fire alarm
tests and sprinkler tests, were done durin9 the work day!
Arson and fire investigation were also conducted primarily during
weekdays, which often causes conflict with my full time job.
Fire Prevention in the schools were covered by Chief Steve Erickson
and Lt. Kevin Sipprel I. In house tours by Jim Casey, Steve
Erickson, Kevin Sipprel I, and Tim Palm. Request for school visits
increase yearly and becomes more difficult to staff adequately.
The chi Idren need to be educated on fire and emergency issues, the
same as the D.A.R.E program educates on drugs.
I am enclosing a sample of hours spent on fire investigation and
prevention. The hours shown could easily be doubled by inspectin9
for potential fire hazards in our community. As Chief Erickson has
stated in his report many commercial buildings 9o uninspected and
future catastrophe could be reduced or avoided with proper
investigations.

Fire Prevent on work is undisputed and supported by reams of data

reductions can be made in suppression costs. Fire department
budgets are heavily weighted with suppression costs, training.
protective gear, cai I pay, apparatus, station etc. A reduction of
fires can result in a reduction of suppression costs.

for a family recreational ice fink. They recommended staff to contribute labor and equipment
in cooperation with the Hockey Association to flood and maintain ice surface and spread costs
between other city budgets. He stated this had come before the Council originally as a $5000
1996 budget item from the Parks and Open Space Commission. However, there was no definite
plan, location or costs provided and the Council eliminated this item from the budget. Acting
Mayor Hanus stated there were no plans provided yet and the Commission needed to work up
definite plans before Council action. Councilmember Jensen stated the City already provides
neighborhood rinks located at Three Points, Highland and Philbrook Parks. She stated maybe
these could be enhanced and made larger. Also, consideration should be given to the Island as
there are no rinks there. Councilmember Ahrens stated the Commission needed a plan with
costs. The group that came to the Parks and Open Space Commission was primarily Hockey

Association parents. The Council took no action but directed the liaison, Councilmember
Ahrens, to ask the Commission to restudy the central location and be more complete with a plan,
and to look into improving the three existing neighborhood finks. Council also commented on
looking into creating rinks in Minnetrista or at the high school.
Jim Evans, 2611 Commerce Blvd., stated the need for a rink on the Island, perhaps at Swenson
Park. Also, that the neighborhood rinks offered kids easier access than to walk in the streets
to and from downtown Mound.

MINUTES - SPECIAL MEETING MOUND CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 30, 1996
The City Council of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, met in special session on
Tuesday, January 30, 1996, at 7:30 PM, in the Council Chambers at 5341 Maywood
Road, in said City.
Persons in attendance: Mayor Bob Polston, Councilmembers Andrea Ahrens, Mark
Hanus and Liz Jensen. Councilmember Jessen was absent and excused. Also present
were: City Manager Ed Shukle, City Attorney John Dean, Parks Director Jim Fackler,
LMCD Representative of Mound Tom Reese, Mediator Roger Williams and Acting City
Clerk Linda Strong. The following interested citizens were present: Michael Aspelin, Paul
and Ginny Erickson, Helen Eiss, Vera Frahm, Leah Weycker, Mike Garberick, Rodney
Hein, Cathy and Dick Bailey, Raymond Richter, Michael Porter, Mary Ellen Storlien, Betty
and John Eccles, Don Pedersen, Mary and Ron Motyka, Stephen Borgman, Michelle
Olson, Rita Pederson, Scott Brown, Carol Doyle, Bev and Bob Abbott, Paul Doyle, Don
Heffner, Jim Walters, Tara Swanholm, John Edewaard, David J. Beahen, George Haugh,

Espiritu, Olen Pederson, Margaret and David Gaudette, Lyn Hexum, Marty and Marie
Johnson, Dave Kunz and Bonnie Pechtel, Jerry Aman, Danie Watson, David Bobick,
Hugh Maynard, Bob and Carol Lien, Jack Korlath, and Jeff Bishop.
Mayor Polston opened the special meeting and welcomed the people present.
He suggested a meeting with representatives of the various groups, i.e. abutters, non-
abutters and staff, meet to resolve the issue before them. He stated that when
reasonable people work together you can find a reasonable solution. Hopefully a
resolution will be found agreeable to all involved. Mayor Polston introduced a mediator,
Roger Williams from the Office of Dispute Resolution of the State of Minnesota.
City Manager Ed Shukle explained mediation stating it is a form of trying to resolve a
dispute by bringing in a third party that serves as a mediator that listens to all sides of the
issues and tries to bring the various sides together. He felt this was an approach to try
to bring out the issues and a positive way to resolve the issues.
Roger Williams stated the agency he represents always works with a public agency as
one of the clients. He stated that mediation is a process where the parties themselves
shape the outcome. Rights are not given up, needs are discussed and prioritized. Once
the group agrees as a whole to mediate, a smaller representative group would be chosen
and meeting dates and location decided. At the first meeting the group would set their
rules, identify issues and prioritze them. It was stressed that the representatives from
each group need to communicate back to their groups often. Eventually an agreement
is formed and signed and can be binding or non-binding. Mr. Williams stated this is a no
Minutes - Mound City Council - Special Meeting January 30, 1996
cost service through the state. The decision has to be made by all parties involved to
negotiate.
Mayor Polston introduced City Attorney John Dean and asked him to summarize the
Flack vs. City of Mound case. He stated that if the Council did appeal the decision of the
court, several of the resulting issues and questions before the residents now, would not
be even looked at by the court. The appeal would only pertain to the original court case.
It would be wise for the residents to form some type of group to work out the issues
between them.
Mayor Polston stated that a few representatives from each issue meet and work towards
a mutual agreement, this could be resolved without court involvement.
The Mayor invited an open question time, where random questions were asked and
comments given by the persons in attendance. Discussion lasted until 9:25 PM. At this
time the six plaintiffs and their attorney asked to leave the chambers to discuss the issues
amongst themselves. They returned at 9:35 PM.
Tom Reese, the City of Mound's representative to the LMCD, spoke before the Council
and the full chambers. He stated that if the City of Mound no longer controlled the dock
program, the LMCD would. The Wawoniassa Commons as it is, is grandfathered. Any
changes would disallow the grandfather arrangement and the LMCD would regulate the
dock sites according to the LMCD regulations.
There was discussion regarding how binding a mediated agreement would be with
property owners moving in and out. Mayor Polston stated he would check into title
search for information.
Mayor Polston asked who wanted to mediate? There was no response.
Councilmember Ahrens asked how many persons did not want to mediate to raise their
hand?
By lack of hands raised at the question who did not want to mediate, it was
assumed the entire group present did want to mediate.
Mayor Polston stated a procedure needed to determined. He referred the floor back to
Roger Williams.
Mr. Williams helped the group define the groups/issues. The consensus was there were
six various groups/issues. They are:
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Non-litigation Abutting Dock Holders
Non-abutting Dock Holders- WawonaissaJWaurika
Non-abutting Residents without Docks
Representatives of the 6 Plaintiffs
Abutting Waurika Commons Dock Holders
City of Mound Representatives
Mr. Williams suggested each group meet now to choose 3 representatives. He stressed
the importance of the three representatives chosen tonight must be in communication with
the rest of the group they represent.
At 10:10 PM the assembly of residents broke up into 6 groups to choose three
representatives.
At 10:20 PM each group had made their choice and gave a written list to Mr. Williams.

~l~{~ O An Equal Opportunity Employer
The section of Kildare Road under study in this report lies between Kerry Lane on the east and unimproved
Kings Lane on the west. The original plat of Seton was recorded on December 13, 1913. As with many
dedicated fight-of-ways fi-om that era, Kildare Road was platted at 30 feet wide. Block 13 which is adjacent to
the south side of Kildare Road, contains four homes, two of which are located on large parcels. Lots 15 thru
32, Block 11, wNch are all vacant land are adjacent on the north side. The Owners of Lots 21 thru 26, Block
11, Seton has filed a petition with City requesting utility and street improvements to serve their property. The
remainder of Block 11, Lots, 15 thru 20 and 27 thru 32 are combined into one parcel and owned by a single
party. The aerial photograph of Exhibit A shows Blocks 11 and 13 and also the surrounding area.
Improvements to this section of Kildare Road were first proposed during the planning stage in 1978 for the
1979 street improvement project. In fact, the owners at that time of these same Lots, 21 thru 26, Block 11,
Seton, had petitioned the City for sewer, water and street improvements. Plans for the improvement of Kildare
Road were included when the 1979 project was bid and contracts let. Because the same owner that had
petitioned for the improvements would not grant the necessary easements to the City, the proposed
construction was eliminated from the overall project. This section of Kildare Road has remained unimproved
even though a number of parties have investigated different ways to serve the property in question.
On the plat maps it appears Kings Lane could be an alternate solution for access, but this has also been
investigated in the past. A portion of the Kings Lane fight-of-way could possibly be in the wetlands and the
proper'ay to be served lies at the top ofa bluffwhich would have to be traversed. For these reasons Kings Lane
has not been a viable alternative.
UTmlTIES
The area of Block 11 in question is not served by City water or sewer, both of which are presently available at
the intersection of Kerry Lane and Kildare Road. Both would need to be extended from said intersection,
westerly in the fight-of-way of Kildare Lane as shown on Exhibit B. For purposes of this report Exhibits B and
C were taken fi-om the original utility and street plans prepared for the 1979 street improvement project. The
proposed sanitary sewer extension would be an 8" main with a manhole at the end. The watermaln would be
6" with a hydrant for fire protection located in the proposed cul-de-sac. Since the proposed street would all
drain east to the existing street system, there would be no need for storm sewer.
STREET CONSTRUCTION
As with the utilities, for purposes of this report we have used the street plans as prepared for the 1979 street
improvement project and included as Exhibit C. This plan shows the standard 28 foot wide City street with
concrete curb and gutter extended to a cul-de-sac centered on the common lot line of Lots 26 and 27 which is
also the dividing line between the two ownership's. This plan also shows the proposed right-of-way for the cul-
de-sac as a 40' radius with a 35' radius improved. Both of these dimensions are 10 feet less then the City's
minimum requirement. The proposed street grade on this same plan has a portion at 13% where as the City
code for new subdivisions limit the slope to 8%.
- 1 -
Because of the short length for the street extension and the existing topography we would recommend also
narrowing the proposed street to 24 feet wide back to back of curb. This would prohibit parking on either side
of the street. We would also suggest that the proposed grade be raised approximately 2 feet to reduce the
amount of excavation and lessen the side slopes. This would require increasing the maximum slope bom the
13% shown to 15%, which is substantially greater then allowed by City code but falls within the limits of other
existing streets in the City.
COST ESTIMATES
Enclosed as Extn'bit D is a detailed breakdown of the estimated costs for the sanitary sewer and watermain
extensions. For purposes of this report, two cost estimates have been prepared for the street construction.
Alternate I is for a 28 foot wide street and Alternate 11 is for a 24 feet wide street. Both alternates reflect the
smaller 35' radius cul-de-sac. A detailed breakdown of the costs are included as Exhibits E and F.
ASSESSMENTS - UTILITIES
The total cost of the improvements should be paid by the properties benefiting fi.om the improvements. It is
suggested that the costs for the sanitary sewer and watermain extemiom be assessed to the undeveloped
property in Block 11. This area is zoned R-lA which has a minimum lot area requirement of 6000 square feet
and a minimum lot width of 40 feet. For purposes of this report we have divided the costs proportionately
between the 18 undeveloped lots. This would result in 1/3 of the projected costs being assessed to the property
owners petitioning for the improvements and 2/3 of the cost assessed to the 12 lot parcel under one ownership.
We have not determined how many actual building sites are possible on each of these parcels since numerous
factors such as set backs, bl,]~, etc enter into that ~ decision. The following is a proposed assessment of
the cost for utility extensions using the previously mentioned criteria.

If any of the properties on the south side of Kildare Road in Block 13 are ever subdivided and request utility
services, they could be charged a hook-up fee at that time.
ASSESSMENTS - STREETS
In 1976 the City adopted a street improvement assessment policy under Resolution No. 76-77. The assessment
criteria is as follows:
30 percent of the total cost to be assessed based on front footage. (front and sides). All lots
shall be deemed to have at least a minimum of 40 front feet.
bo
30 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on the square footage of the property
to be assessed.
c. 40 percent of the total cost to be assessed shall be based on a unit basis.
Since 1976 the City Council has added the following refinements to this policy.
Triangle Lots - Lots that form a triangle on two streets are to be assessed for footage
on the long side only.
Multiple units are assessed on the basis of 3/4 unit p~ each residential unit in the
building (Example: a 50 unit apartment is assessed for 37.5 units plus footage plus
Lots that from on a County Road and a street impr0vemem will be assessed on the
same bases as other lots except that the units and square footage will be reduced by 50
percent.
Lots that from on a street to be improved and which have previously been assessed for
another street improvemem project will be assessed for footage only.
Lots that have meets on three sides are to be assessed for footage on the long side and
the average length of the other two sides.
6. The cost of driveway entrances over 12 feet wide are assessed directly to the property
owner.
The following is a breakdown of how the area, fi-ontage and unit charges were calculated.

DISCUSSION: CITY ENGINEER'S FEASIBILITY REPORT RE:
IMPROVEMENTS, XXXX KILDARE ROAD,- CURB, GU'i-I'ER AND'
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
PUBLIC
City Engineer John Cameron updated the Council stating a brief history of this
unimproved mad. He referred to the Preliminary Engineering Report on Kildare Road that
he had prepared. He referenced the suggested costs and how these costs would be
shared. The applicant Mr. Schultz was present and asked why a cul-de-sac was required
at the end of Kildare Lane. He was informed this area was for emergency vehicles, snow
removal, and general traffic to turn around in. The property on Kildare before the
applicant's lots was discussed. Mr. Schultz stated he would like a public hearing so they
could work things out with this property owner. Mr. Cameron stated this street
improvement would be expensive. City Attorney Curt Pearson offered the following
motion:
MOTION to adopt the feasibility report for Kildare Road street and utility
improvements between Kerry Lane on the east and the unimproved Kings
Lane at the west and order a public hearing.
Mr. Pearson stated it would be in the best interest of the City to hold a public hearing.
This would not commit the Council to the project, but it would provide needed information
so the Council could decide. The City Engineer agreed with the City Attorney.
Councilmember Jensen moved and Councilmember Jessen seconded the
motion. The vote carried 4-0.
A date of January 23, 1996 was discussed for the Hearing.

117-23-22-0036 THRU 0041. (STREET WITH CURB, GU'Fi'ER, WATER AND
SEWER).
Mayor Polston introduced Tracy Ingram, realtor for the owners of property along the
unimproved Kiidare Road. Ingrain stated his client had questions regarding the results
of a feasibility study and what would happen after it was completed. Mayor Polston
restated the fact that there are two property owners, one with 6 lots and one with two lots
along the unimproved road and the owner with the 6 lots does not want the improvement
or the costs and that owner did not sign the petition. The owner not wanting the
improvement would have the largest assessment. This was the reason this road was not
improved in 1978. Mayor Polston suggested they work it out with the non interested
owner. City Attorney Curt Pearson listed the process regarding what would take place:
2.
3.
4.
The Council would direct a feasibility study to be done.
If the Council accepts the feasibility study, they order a public hearing.
The public hearing date is published in The Laker.
Notices are mailed to all of the affected property owners informing them of the
proposed improvement and inviting them to the public hearing.
The public hearing is held.
The City Council makes their determination. If the petition represents less than
35% in frontage of the real property abutting on the street, a 4/5 vote of the
council is required. If more than 35% in frontage of the real property abutting on
the street has petitioned for the improvement, it requires 3/5 vote. However,
without the proper right-of-way, the City would have to consider condemnation if
the non approving property owner would not grant an easement or negotiate the
sale of an easement.
If all this worked out positively, and the street improvement happened with water,
sewer and curb, there would be a second public hearing for the assessments,
costs and how they should be paid. The non approving property owner could then
appeal the tax assessment.
The council would like to avoid possible confrontations. John Cameron stated the 35%
meant the amount of property frontage and the applicants do not have 35%. Ingrain
stated that the other frontage property owners to the south have no desire to improve this
road.
MOTION by Ahrens, seconded by Hanus to continue this item until 12-12-95
should the applicants desire to request and pay for a feasibility study. The
vote was carried unanimously.

23, 24, 25 & 26, BLOCK 11, SETON, PID NOS. 19-117-23-22-0036 THRU 0041.
(STREET WITH CURB, GU'i-rER, WATER AND SEWER)
City Engineer John Cameron stated this improvement was applied for the first time in
1978. The owners of the abutting properties refused to grant public right-of-way for the
street, so the project on that portion of Kildare Lane was dropped. Tracy Ingrain,
representative of the sellers, was present. Cameron passed out aerial photo/maps to the
Council. He stated Kildare Lane is an unimproved street going west off Kerry Lane.
Improvements petitioned for are a street with curb, gutter, water and sewer and creating
a cul-de-sac at the west end of Kildare Lane. The petition came from the property
owners at this west end of the unimproved Kildare Lane. The owner to the east of
these properties has no interest in improvements to the street and the cost involved. Mr.
Ingram stated that the property east of his clients is for sale also. If this improvement
were to happen, all property owners abutting the improved portion of Kildare Lane would
be assessed a portion of the cost. Cameron stated the street needs a 30' right-of-way
and an easement would be needed.
Cameron stated a feasibility study could be prepared at an estimated cost of $500 - $600.
This cost normally is absorbed into the overall project cost when the improvement is
done. However, if the project did not go through, Council suggested Ingram talk with his
sellers to have them pay for the feasibility study, so the City is not expending funds for
a private property owner.
Consensus of the Council and the city engineer was to have Mr. Ingram talk with his
clients to see if they would be responsible for the cost of the feasibility study should the
project not go forward. The Council continued the petition until the 11-28-95 meeting, so
Mr. Ingram could talk with the petition/property owners.

GENERAL COMMENTS
During 1995 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,
Three Points and Dundee. In 1995 a new play structure was installed at Dundee 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 Swenson, Highland, Doone, Edgewater, and Crescent Parks. Of
these parks, Crescent 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
1995 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, 1995 and 1996 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 Iow 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 1995 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 1996, and the Parks staff has also assisted in special events, including
Mound City Days, Around Mound Run, and Winterfest.

These costs cover expenses incurred by Westonka Community Services in
supplying lifeguards. They do not show the cost of maintenance, weed removal, buoys,
portable toilets and life saving equipment. These come out of the park fund.
In the past years we have seen this budget item under projections due to cool
weather. 1995 was a warm summer, and due to cut-backs in funding, we had to cut back
in hours at beaches to be able to come in at budget.
Parks Department
1995 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, 1995, the yearly total of hazardous tree removals from City
property were 69 trees removed, 2 stumps chipped, 49 trees trimmed that posed a hazard,
and 7 sites brushed. From private property under forced removal, no trees were taken.
4
Parks Department 1995 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 1995, 20 weed notices sent for unkept grounds. Of these 20, all owners did
comply and a contractor did not have to be hired to perform the work. The cost of
mowing incurred by the City for private property would be billed to the owner. If the
owner does not pay, the cost is assessed to their taxes.
,,MUNICIPAL DOCK SITES
The Municipal dock site system is made up of approximately 4.5 miles of lake
shore, providing 448 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 1995 the dock fund showed a balance of $106,545. 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 1995 we supervised riprapping projects and stairway installations as noted
below:

City Projects on Public Lands
Arbor Lane - 70 lineal feet of rip rap ad shoreline repair.
Devon Common - 600 lineal feet of rip rap repair.
Breezy Road - 30 lineal feet of rip rap and shoreline repair.
Pike Road - 40 lineal feet of rip rap and shoreline repair.
Devon Common - 100 lineal feet of rip rap repair.

Parl~ Department
1995 Annual Report
Wren Road - 40 lineal feet of rip rap, shoreline repair and storm drain
improvement.
7. Mound Bay Park - 220 lineal feet of rip rap and shoreline repair.
8. Stairway installation at Wiota Commons on Avocet Lane access.
9. Stairway installation at Devon Common at Roanoke access.
All rip rap projects require permits through the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. A new streamline
application process has been put into use with these agencies. Now a licensed contractor
with the Watershed can obtain a permit the same day, as long as the project meets all
current guidelines. This has greatly helped staff by eliminating the extensive procedure
we would go through that would take up to two months.
DEPOT AND ISLAND PARK BUILDINGS
The Depot building had no improvements in 1995, 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.
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 during 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.
6
Parks Department 1995 Annual Report
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 RETATNING WAT.TS
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 1995, and
projected costs for 1996 is as follows (note Exhibit C):
Actual Actual Est.
1994 1995 1996
Repairs 1,310 75 500
Replacements 10,858 0 10,420
Insurance 50 0 0
The walls that have received work are only a reaction to immediate problems, and
generally from a complaint or hazard.
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.
In 1995, as noted above, there was minimal monies spent on walls. This was not
due to the lack of needed repairs or replacements, but rather the budget for 1995 had to
address other repairs to curbs and sidewalks instead.
Currently, there are existing walls that should have been replaced in 1995, and
have been delayed to 1996 and beyond. To try to keep pace with the growing expense,
a budget of $10,000 has been established for 1996. This could have easily been $20,000
if all current work need would be addressed in 1996, but does not allow for any
emergency repair or replacement.

COMMONS TASK FORCE
The City Council, on March 28, 1995, established a task force of eleven members.
The objective of the task force was to identify problems and frustrations that the current
dock program has. Through a series of 26 meetings, two surveys, and discussions with
the City Council, an in-depth evaluation and recommendations were established and
presented to the City Council on January 9, 1996.
The city Council took all the information present and will evaluate the finds and
recommendations in 1996.

1995 MOUND FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT
Another banner year, shattering all past records!
Total calls for 1995 were up 204 from 1994. The department
answered 758 fire and rescue calls, which equals to 2.1 calls per
day. There were 8,379 hours served on fire calls and 7,731 hours
served on rescue calls. Total recorded hours of 16,110. These
numbers do not however reflect training hours, maintenance hours
and numerous Volunteer hours given to the Community thru out the
year.
A break down for each City we serve is as follows:

We gave Mutual Aid six (6) times and received aid three (3) times.
2. cont.
We continue to train as often as we possibly can. Many of our
training hours are being absorbed by mandated training such as self
contained breathing apparatus, blood born pathogens, 1st Responder
refresher courses ect. Aside from our 7 hours in-house training
per month we had 10 members attend State Fire School, 7 to State
Fire Conference's, 3 to State Fire Chief's, 1 to International Fire
Chief's, 7 to Regional schools, 3 to First Responder's school and
20 to Ice Rescue school.
In late December we took delivery of our new pumper truck. It is
a beautiful piece of equipment and should be in service with in
several weeks. The truck is being equipped and fire fighters are
being trained on the proper use of the new truck #24. As you know
we rejected the single bid to refurbish the tanker. After speaking
with several vendors we feel we will get an acceptable bid February
21, 1996.
We have continued to remodel and upgrade the station with the
available funds. New floor covering in radio room and apparatus
bays 1 and 2. Construction has been started on the storage
facility and should be completed soon with favorable weather. We
would like to thank the Street Dept. for expanding our parking with
the excess pavement.
We adopted a new set of standard operating guidelines and plan tq
continue adding to those in the years to come.
There continues to be a need for a full or part-time Fire Marshal
or Fire Officer to attend to the numerous request for fire
inspections, investigations, new building plan reviews, and
miscellaneous inquires 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-time Fire Marshal in
Farmington, he is unavailable during usual business hours. I have
attempted to help Mike during weekdays; however, I must also work
my full-time job as well as attend to the daily operation of the
Fire Department. We will continue to do what we can with the time
available, however the need for full or part time personal
increases yearly!
I am concerned about the lack of inspections taking place in our
coverage area. We know v olations exist in many of our commercial
buildings, that could be" a disaster waitin9 to happen." Without
the full time personal to handle the inspections, it simply is not
being done as completely as it should be.
3 cont.
I continue to be extremely proud of the level of performance at
which our department operates. We continue to receive applications
from people wanting to join our top notch organization. We
currently have seven qualified applicants and are at our full
strength 37 firefighter roster. We put 3 new members on to
compensate the 1 released, and 2 that retired (Tom Swenson and Nary
Nelson).
Looking forward to a prosperous 1996 and meeting the challenges of
the up coming years/
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen C. Erickson

GENERAL
Let me go t. hrough the sched,J]~ of the Street Department for !
Year just touching on the main duties s~arting with Win~er.
~NOW ~ ,ICE CONTROL
It's my job to determine when the snow equipment is called
out. I demend on the National Weather :Service for information
concerning any weather systems moving is our direction~ also
the Police 'Dept. Host o{ the time i'm out and about to
determine what has to be Gone. When it's icy we sang as soon
as possible but when it snows we like to wait until it's
over if at all possible. Shen we plow everyone is out, 4 from
the Street Department, ~ from the Water & Sewer Department,
Jim from the Parks and me. The equipment used is 5 -2 1/2 ton
dump trucks equipped with Dlow.~ 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 ii 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 of 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 we move into our street
patching. Our general street maintenance work isn't bad, we
don't have a lot ot potholes and cracks to repair. ~!hat
takes the time and money is to repair the watermain breaks
and frostboits. The main breaks have to be cut square,
compacted and repaved.

Public Utilities
Water and Sewer
Public Utilities for the City 0¢ Mound consists o? 2
departments. One being Water Distribution and the other being
Sanitary Sewer. First I would like to start with the Water
Distribution system. The Water Department has 2 1/2 full time

WATER DEPARTMENT
WATERMAIN BREAKS
This year we had 24 main breaks. We had 9 breaks in i3 days
with 3 in one day. Of the 24 breaks 19 were after hours. This
caused us to go over budget in our repair and maintenance.
WATERTOWER MAINTENANCE
We had our annual inspection and there were a c:ouple o~'
anodes replaced that were damaged from the ice that builds up
in the tanks through the winter.
PUMPHOUSE MAINTENANCE
This year was a good yea:-. We had no major problems with thr-~
wells. Ho~,...Jevsr we b,tiii be upgrading our mas~.~r control panel
in 1996.
WATER METERS
The ne~ system is working well.
HYDRANT MAINTENANCE
This year ~e use the same approaches as last year for' our
hydrant '~iushing program. Instead o{ ~lushins during normal
work hours ~ rearranged the shift ~irnes %o a:O0 p.m. so two
maintenance workers would work trem 9:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
%er one week in May and one week in October. This worked very
well, with very few complaints from the empleyee's or the
customers.
GENERAL INFORMATION
We pumped 281,000,000 gallons of water in 1995. The Water
Department budget was 1!3~ over budget.
~EWER DEPARTMENT
The Sewer Department has 2 1/2 full time employees.
Damon Hardina has been with the City Sewer Department since
1974. Scott Kivisto has been with the City since 1985.
Their duties consist of maintaining 28 lift stations and
approximately 60 miles of sanitary sewer lines throughout the

4 hours per day to per¢orm these checks. We per{cfm minor
maintenance, such as pump removal, seal replacement and
electrical repairs. Any major pump 'repaz'r is sent out_. The
5ewer Department has a truck with a crane so we can pull the

RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING RECONVEYANCE OF
TAX FORFEITED LANDS TO THE ESTATE OF MINNESOTA
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota has conveyed to the City of Mound certain
tax forfeited land, described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 20, SHADYWOOD POINT, Hennepin County,
Minnesota
(the "Property"); and,
WHEREAS, the owners of private property adjacent to the Property have
expressed an interest in purchasing the Property for the purpose of subdividing the Property into
two tracks and recombining the tracts with their respective properties; and,
WHEREAS, the Property is a nonbuildable tract of land pursuant to City
ordinances, and sale of the Property to the adjacent owners for combination with their properties
would further the public interest by putting the Property back on the public tax rolls; and,
WHEREAS, the City has a continuing need for a drainage easement over and
across the Property that would not interfere with the sale of the Property to the adjacent owners,
and it is in the public interest for the City to retain said easement; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that this reconveyance is in the
public interest.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized to execute all documents necessary
to reconvey the Property to the State of Minnesota, reserving, however, an easement for
drainage purposes over the Property in favor of the City of Mound.
The City makes the following recommendations to the Hennepin County Board of
Commissioners concerning the disposition of the Property after the City's reconveyance
to the State:
It is recommended that the Property be sold to an owner of adjacent buildable
property, pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Section 382.01, subdivision 7a.
It is recommended that the sale to the adjacent owner be made subject to the
following conditions:
Proposed Resolution
February 13, 1996

Purchase - Philip Klein and Thomas Aune
0064 - Request to
Dear John:
The above item has been on the Council's Agenda previously. The two above
property owners adjacent to a tax forfeit parcel retained by the City contacted the City
of Mound in 1995 requesting that they be allowed to purchase the piece of property.
This property had been reviewed by the Parks and Open Space Commission to be
designated as a Nature Conservation Area (NCA). The City of Mound's definition of
a Nature Conservation Area basically relates to properties owned by the City to be
retained for their natural beauty and aesthetic value. The Parks and Open Space
Commission had developed an NCA program where they looked at a number of parcels
within the City for NCA designation. The City Council had considered this NCA
request on this property sometime ago but never designated it as such.
Mr. Klein and Mr. Aune have approached the City regarding the purchase of the
property and I am enclosing copies of Minutes from the July 25, 1995, City Council
meeting and the August 22, 1995, City Council meeting where the issue had been
discussed. This will give you some background as to the issues involved. As the
Minutes reflect from August 22nd, the City Attorney was going to contact Hennepin
County concerning the release of the lot which would be subject to a drainage
easement over the entire property. It was unclear at the time whether the property
should be subdivided into two lots or retained as one parcel. I am also enclosing a
copy of a letter dated August 23, 1995, written by Curt Pearson to Gordon Ramm of
the Tax Forfeit Land Division at Hennepin County. Mr. Ramm never responded to Curt
and I have been following up on the issue since I have been contacted by Mr. Klein
prtnte~ on recycled paper
Letter to John Dean
January 30, 1996
page 2
concerning their continued interest in purchasing this property. In my followup with
Mr. Ramm I have found out that the City Council needs to decide whether they want
to sell the property to these adjacent property owners (Mr. Klein and Mr. Aune). If the
City wants to sell the property then it must reconvey the property back to Hennepin
County via a Reconveyance Resolution, a sample of which I have enclosed that was
provided to me by Gordon Ramm of Hennepin County. Assuming that the Council
wishes to sell it to Mr. Klein and Mr. Aune and passes the Resolution of
Reconveyance, they must also pass a resolution conveying the land subject to a
permanent easement for drainage purposes. I have enclosed a sample resolution
provided by Mr. Ramm from the City of Champlin which indicates how such an action
should take place. The other issue that remains is whether the City should sell the
parcel as one or go through a subdivision with the proposed owners to subdivide it
into two parcels.
Since Mr. Klein is insistent on moving this forward, I told him that we could schedule
it for the February 13th regular City Council meeting for discussion and possible
action. I know that the Parks and Open Space Commission still is concerned about the
City releasing it for sale. It has come up several times in recent months on their
Agenda as to the status of the issue. What I would like you to do is develop the
Reconveyance Resolution and the Permanent Easement for Drainage Purposes
Resolution for discussion and possible action at the February 13th Council meeting.
The resolution may actually be only one that reconveys the forfeit of lands back to the
County subject to the drainage easement. You may also want to talk with John
Cameron, City Engineer, who is aware of the drainage easement issue. If you require
any additional information or background about the matter, please do not hesitate to
contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Lot 1, Block 20, Shadywood Point
Dear Gordy:
Per our conversation of today, I would like to ask you to assist us in
determining whether the City should release this parcel for sale.
Two neighbors would like to buy the property if the property can be split and
if they can afford the cost. The City Engineer has made it clear that the City must
retain an easement over the entire parcel for drainage and conservation purposes.
Our conversation today indicates that if it is determined that we are to go
forward, the procedure would be as follows:
The City Council would pass a resolution authorizing reconveyance to
the State of Minnesota and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to
sign the necessary deed.
In returning the property to the rolls for sale, the City would place a
restriction on the property that it be sold only to abutting owners, that
the property be combined with their existing parcels, and that the City
would have an easement.
It will have to be determined if the City would go through a waiver of
subdivision or require the property owners to pay some subdivision

The property is not buildable, and you need to take that into
consideration when you have it appraised.
I will FAX this information to you today, and you will send it to one of the
County appraisers to find out what the cost would be to the abutting
owners to buy one-half of the parcel which will be subject to the City's
easement.

If the neighbors are not willing to pay the price, then we can just leave it in its
current status, since the State has conveyed it to the City for conservation purposes.

CONTINUED DISCUSSION RE: LOT 1, BLOCK 20, SHADYWOOD POINT, PID
#13-117-2411 0064. REQUEST TO PURCHASE - PHILLIP KLEIN AND THOMAS
AUNE.
City Manager Ed Shukle referred to the letter in the packet from Tom Aune and Phil Klein
withdrawing their request for the City to release the subject lot for sale to adjoining lot
owners. The adjacent owners are requesting the City designate the area as an NCA
(Nature Conservation Area). Mayor Polston referred to a letter received from the City
Engineer, John Cameron, stating the lot should be retained by the City for drainage
easements and not made available for sale. Councilmember Hanus stated this lot would
not qualify for an NCA referring to #9 of the NCA Plan as it relates to the neighboring
properties and whether or not the neighboring properties require any other land to
become conforming. Mr. Aune's lot is an undersized lot and by acquiring less than haft
of this lot, it would become conforming. City Attorney Curt Pearson stated the possibility
of the County releasing it with the stipulation that the entire lot be left to the City for
drainage purposes. The question is would the neighbors want to purchase the lot with
the entire lot being subject to the condition that it be retained for drainage? Aune was
concerned with the City creating a holding pond on this lot. Fran Clark was in the
audience and she informed the Council that the city engineer would have to get a
description of the easement before it is released. A resolution needs to be written to
release the lot from the County and retaining easements. Also, concurrent subdivisions
must be made on this lot. Also it was noted that if the lot was released from the County,
and sold to the adjacent property owners, and subdivided between them, they would have
to annex this new parcel to their current parcel and make into one parcel. Mr. Klein
asked that the acquisition cost of them purchasing the lot also be researched.
MOTION by Mayor Polston, seconded by Hanus and carried unanimously to
direct staff to confer with Hennepin County concerning the release of Lot 1,
Block 20, Shadywood Point, PID #13-117 24 11 0064, property subject to a
drainage easement over the entire property and for staff to research the
subdivision and the cost of the subdivision and acquisition.

REQUEST TO RELEASE NATURE CONSERVATION AREA LOCATED AT
ENCHANTED & HERON LANE, LOT 1, BLOCK 2.0, SHADYVVOOD POINT, PID
13-117-24 11 0064.
City Manager Ed Shukle stated that the two adjacent property owners to this nature
area are interested in purchasing this lot. The Park and Open Space Commission
wanted this parcel to remain a Nature Conservation Area (NCA). Mayor Polston asked
this item to be tabled until more research could be done. Councilmember Hanus asked
the two adjacent property owners to state in writing their desire to purchase the lot
and to define their plans for this lot.
Tom Casey, member of the Parks and Open Space Commission, spoke to the Council
asking that this be voted down, that this lot is needed for drainage for that residential
block. He stated that in October, 1993, the Council voted 4-0 to retain the property
and not sell it. If this NCA was sold, it could set a precedent for the sale of other
NCA's and the City would be out of green space. This lot was one of the specific lots
designated by the Parks and Open Space Commission to be retained.
The adjacent property owners, Phil Klein to the south of the lot, and Tom Aune to the
west of the lot, spoke to the Council. Mr. Aune has somewhat maintained this vacant
lot since he purchased his home in 1987. He stated the additional area would make
his property more conforming. Mr. Klein just built a home on the two lots to the south
of the vacant lot and would like to purchase the property to maintain it in a cleaner
natural state. The two adjacent owners would subdivide the vacant lot and add it
onto their own parcels.
City Attorney, Curt Pearson, stated the proposed buyers need to define their reason
for the purchase. There is a process to purchase the lot; a survey will be needed, to
identify the proposed subdivision and combination, a waiver from the City Council
must be applied for and conditions need to be made on the future use of the property.
Peter Meyer, member of the Parks and Open Space Commission, spoke to the Council
regarding the City retaining this parcel as an NCA.
City Manager Ed Shukle researched the Minutes of the Council from 1993 and
determined the lot in question has not been designated by the Council as an NCA.
Tom Casey stated that all of the costs related to researching this should be charged
to the potential buyers, not to the City.
MOTION by Polston, seconded by Hanus to table the request for release of a
Nature Conservation Area at Enchanted and Heron Lane, lot 1, block 20,
Shadywood Point, PID 13-117-24 11 0064, until August 22, 1995. In order
to give the applicants time to submit additional information and work with staff
to clarify the zoning implications and other issues.
The motion carried with Ahrens, Hanus and Polston voting yes, Jensen voted no. ,~o-LI

Dear Ed:
I was unaware that the purchase of the above mentioned City owned
property was still an issue until receivinG the Council packet for the
July 25th meetinG.
As stated in my previous letters from 1984 and 1986, this lot was
retained by the City for drainage purposes. Since that time, lots 13
and 14 were released for sale by the County and a new home was
constructed in 1994. Runoff from the rear of this property alonG with
other adjacent lots is directed thru lot 1 and picked up by the City's
storm sewer system in Enchanted Road, thus requirinG the use of lot 1
for drainage purposes.
In addition, a possible future use of this property by the City
maY become necessary. In the very near future, the City will be
required to address their stormwater management needs, which will
include designatinG potential areas for retention of runoff prior to
discharge into Lake Minnetonka. This lot could possibly be used in
future stormwater management plan. Because Mound is almost fully
developed, vacant City owned parcels such as this, are very scarce.

We would like to withdraw our request for the City to release the subject lot for an
adjoining lot owner's sale. The comments of the City Engineer bring forth a much more
valid reason for the City to maintain ownership. I expect you to receive a report from him
that will validate your reason to recommend maintaining possession.
We do however insist the City take the recommendation of the Park & Open Space
Commission and officially classify this lot as a Nature Conservation Area. In doing so we
would like the City to remove the "No Dumping" signs, and replace the with wooden
signs stating "Nature Conservation Area." Similar in style used by the State & Federal
Department of Natural Resources. There is currently two signs in place now, and two of
the new signs should be adequate. We would like the City Council to Vote on our newest
proposal at the August 22, Council meeting when this subject was to continue.
We hope we can have your support as well as the rest of your staff~ it is our hope
this issue can come to a close soon with everyone happy.
Sincerely,
Phil Klien & Tom Anne
MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PARK AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION
JULY 13, 1995
REQUEST TO RELEASE NATURE CONSERVATION AREA LOCATED AT ENCHANTED
HERON LANE, LOT 1, BLOCK 20, SHADYW00D POINT, PID 13-117-24 11 0064.
The Parks Director noted the letter received from the City Attorney and the Park Commission
discussed the conclusions. Darling stated that he concluded from the attorney's letter that
it would be okay to release the parcel with a conservation easement. Casey questioned why
this should be done, and why should the City pay the attorney for more time spent on drafting
an easement. Casey suggested that they recommend the status of the parcel not be changed.
Casey also noted that an estimate of the costs incurred by the attorney for services rendered
relating to this issue was not supplied as requested in a motion by the Park Commission. He
feels that the City is mis-allocating their money by spending more time on this issue.
Byrnes questioned what use this property has to the City. The Parks Director indicated that
this property is utilized for drainage purposes. Geffre referred to a letter from John Cameron
dated July 16, 1986 which states that the lot needs to be retained for drainage purposes.
Darling stated that it would not make sense for a purchaser to buy this property with an
easement on it, because then they would not be able to utilize the land for the value they are
trying to get out of it.
MOTION made by Casey, seconded by Meyer to recommend that Resolution
#93-144 be reaffirmed to retain the parcel for conservation purposes.
Byrnes is in favor of the property being sold without an easement.
Phil Klein stated that he has not heard any comments from the Commission relating to his
letter. It was his opinion, after the last meeting, that the Park Commission was not very
familiar with the NCA program. Casey offered to reply to Mr. Klein's letter, item by item.
Park. and Open Space Commission Minutes July 13, 1995
e
SITE INVENTORY, a quote from the NCA Plan, "The remaining 30 parcels which were
'tax forfeited property have undergone prior review by the City. The result of the
reviews that were conducted was a determination that these Parcels were of more
value to adjoining property owners or other individuals than they were to the City..
· the site may be more appropriate for private ownership. In such cases, the City may
consider retaining a conservation easement to protect the land..."
Casey replied that the review of the 30 parcels was done prior to the adoption of the
NCA plan, and since that time, the City changed its mind and created a resolution in
1992 to retain the property for conservation purposes.
NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, "if the potential NCA site is in an area that has
significant publicly owned natural areas and unless the vegetation and features of the
candidate site are truly unique, the site may be more appropriate for private ownership.
In such cases, the City may consider retaining a conservation easement to protect the
land." This site is directly across the street from public lakeshore commons.
Casey commented that it is his opinion this site is not appropriate for ownership
because it is unique, it is needed for drainage purposes, and the size of the adjacent
public land is not very large. Every parcel of public space is unique and should be
retained.
NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, "Such parcels may be more appropriately owned
and used by private parties to provide additional buffering from the negative impacts."
The negative impacts may in fact be more substantial by the private property owners
unless we have a conservation easement that is enforceable, and the political will and
money to try and enforce that. We have a problem trying to say that there are
negative impacts that will be litigated by conveying that to private land owners.
NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, "... it would benefit both the community as well
as the property owner to release such a parcel for sale..."
Casey thinks it is presumptuous that there is a benefit to the City. He is a
member of the Minnesota Land Trust and on the Board of Directors for the West
Metro Chapter, and one of the things they want when they get conservation
easements is the land to be donated and money allocated for enforcement
purposes. So there could be expenses for the both the owner and the City for
enforcement and possibly legal fees to resolve issues that may occur. So,
money may not be saved by the City by giving the land to a private property
owner.
Phil Klein noted that the City recently had to remove a fallen tree from the property. The
Parks Director confirmed that the cost of removal was probably $250 to $500.
Phil Klein stated it is his opinion that the lot would be better off being owned by the adjoining
land owner.

RECEIVEO 2.. §
Re: Park and Open Space Questions
Dear Ed:
On June 21, 1995, you Faxed to me copies of the minutes of a Park and Open
Space Commission meeting held on June 8, 1995. The first item on the agenda related
to releasing a property at Enchanted and Heron Lane. The minutes state,
"'i'he Park Director explained that a legal opinion, as requested by the Park
Commission, has not yet been received from the City Attorney. Ahrens
questioned why it was taking the attorney so long to reply. Case? asked for
a clarification of what was being requested of the attomey."
I would like to start this letter by stating that no opinion had bccn requested from
this office prior to receiving your Fax on June 21, 1995. I would also state that after
reviewing the materials submitted, ! would agree with Mr. Casey that there is no specific
legal question being submitted to me for an opinion. I have read the materials that you
sent along with copies of the minutes of March 9, 1995, and you have now also sent me
a copy of a report prepared by Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. in July, 1993, entitled,
"Nature Conservation Areas Plan."
After reviewing all of these materials, it appears that a question is being raised
relating to a lot at Enchanted and Heron Lane. Nothing that has bccn provided to me
Indicates that that lot has ever been classified as a "Nature Conservation Area" by the
City Council. The materials indicate that this property was tax forfeit and was offered to
the abutting property owners. Specifically, in a memorandum dated May 1, 1992,
Hennepin County offered to sell the property to Thomas M. Aune for the sum of
$4,188.20. The County would also have allowed them to use some form of installment
plan to pay for the property.
WURST, PEARSON, I-ARSON, UNDERWOOD & MERTZ
In reviewing the materials prepared by the City Planner in 19~)3, I note that he said
that 255 parcels had been identified in a survey as "potential nature conservation area
sites." After looking at the 255 parcels, it appeared that the ones that were open for
definition would be those identified in paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 on page 2 of his report
under Site Inventory. That covers City controlled lands, tax forfeit properties for sale to
adjoining property owners only, and tax forfeit property released for public auction. There
were 30 parcels In the tax forfeit category, 25 for sale to abutting owners and 5 being
released for public auction.
! believe the planner did a good job, and you inform me the Council has basically
received and adopted the planning report as a guide for establishing a Nature
Conservation Area. On page 6 of that report, paragraphs 8 and 9 spell out quite clearly
how the land being discussed fits into the policy. The planner states,
Zoning Statu~ of Adjacent Properties - Mound's histodc development
pattern has resulted in properties which do not comply with current
zoning standards. These parcels are classified as nonconforming
lots due to vadous factors but frequently due to lot size. If a parcel
eligible for NCA status lies adjacent to a lot that is nonconforming due
to lot area, sale of the parcel to the abutting property owner may
result in the creation of a lot that meets the zoning standards. In such
cases, it would benefit both the community as well as the property
owner to release such a parcel for sale. If the lot has unique natural
characteristics, mechanisms other than NCA designation and public
ownership could be employed to ensure resource preservation. One
such method would be the City retaining a conservation easement."
I would think that the Park and Open Space Commission would look at this report, and
on the face of it, the land in question appears to be a good candidate for sale to the
abutting owners. Apparently the abutting owners in the past made no effort to buy it for
reasons known only to them, but they have now changed their mind. The enlargement
of the small parcels to bring them into conformity with the zoning ordinance has been a
long-standing goal of the City. In discussing this matter with you, and asking you to
clartfy for me what legal opinion is being sought in this case, you told me you thought they
wanted to know about conservation easements.
A conservation easement, a utility easement or any other type of easement, is
drafted to accomplish a specific purpose and establishes the rights of a non-owner to
utilize real property for some specified purpose and defines the encumbrance on the
WURSt, PEARSON, I_ARSON, UNDERWOOD ~ MERtZ
property. A conservation easement or utility easement can be drawn to indicate what can
or cannot be done by the party to whom the easement runs. I take it from our
conversation that some would like to prohibit any use of the land if it is sold to an abutting
owner. I would question why we would want to sell it or authorize the County to sell it if
it is needed for a public purpose. If it is not needed for a public purpose and is sold by
the County, any restrictions that are placed on the property should allow the purchaser
to use the land for some reasonable activity or there would be no purpose in their buying
the property, and the value of the property would be severely diminished. This is a
judgment question, and you advise me that this particular parcel has not been designated
by the Council as an official Nature Conservation Area.
CONCLUSION: Ed, I would make the following points:
1. No specific legal question has been posed for an answer by this office.
The question of whether this property should be retained for a public purpose
is a judgment call to be made by the City Council after recommendation of
the Park and Open Space Commission.
A conservation easement could be crafted if the fee owner was willing to
consent to such an easement. I am not sure that the County will allow us
to draft an individual, unique easement if they are going to sell the property
to the abutting property owners. Further discussions would have to be held
with the Tax Forfeit Tax Department because I am not aware of any uniquely
created easement being added to property being sold by the county. The
County probably would not object if the purchasers agreed to the easement
language.
I hope this is responsive to the question you have asked me to try to answer, and
If you or the Park and Open Space Commission have a more specific legal question, I will
certainly attempt to respond to that inquiry. I also apologize to the Park and Open Space
Commission if they feel i was delaying the gMng of an opinion, but as previously stated
herein, no such opinion had been requested of this office.

Dear Commission:
We are writing this letter to better inform y0~ of your responsibilities as advisors to the
City, and after what:We saw at your June 8th, ~1995 meeting ~::, .you need it.
It is apparent to Us that you may not have read the "Natur~Conservation Area's Plan,"
as all you should have. We would like you to read it before you incur any undue expense
to the taxpayers and before you make any recommendations to the City. To those of you
who akeady have, then you should be of the same opinion as we are provided that you
adhered to the Plan's intentions, and general common sense.
The plan contains, in short, the following highlights of provisions we would like you
study;
#1 ) INTRODUCTION Descn'bes the P&OSC's involvement. It is work that
some of you may be very familiar with.
#2 ) SITE INVENTORY item 5 - tax forfeit property, and we quote the bottom of
page 2 and top of page 4.
"The remaining 30 parcels which were tax forfeited property have undergone prior
review by the City. The result of the reviews that were conducted was a determination
that these Parcels were of more v~l_,_,_e to ad~.oininl~ tn'ot~ertv owners or other individ,_,al~
than th~ were to the CitF. ' This section does include some language about retaining
the lots as NCA's, but as we cominue that language will be mute in comparison.
$$3 ) NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, item 3, page $.
"If the potential NCA site is in an area that has sigmficant publicly owned natural
areas and unless the vegetation and features of the candidate site are truly unique, the
site nu~ be more appropriate {'or private ownership. In such cases~ the City tna~
consider retaining a conservation easement to protect the land" This site is
directly across the street from public lakeshore commons.
$$4 ) NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, item S, page 6. This item is
probably not relevant here but it does sound the theme that we are trying to drive home.
"Such parcels may be more appropriately owned and used by private parties to provide
aff~tional buffering from the negative impacts."
#5) NCA DESIGNATION PARAMETERS, item 9, page 6. The relevance to
this item is very important to Mr. Aune, the addition of part of this pared to his own
would increase his hard cover calculations in respect to the City building codes. Which
would give him the ability to expand the size of his home on his existing lot, without
developing any of lot # 1 ? Thus bringing in more tax revenue to the community.
"In such cases, it wouM benefit both the community as well as the property owner to
release such a parcel for sale. If the lot has unique natural characteristics, mechanisms
other than NCA designation and pubhc ownership could be employed to ensure resource
preservation. One such ntethod would be the City retaining et conservation easetnent "
This Plans theme seems to be repeating itself, don't you think?
$$6 ) NCA USES Item 1, page 6. There was some concern about Mr. Klein's
intention with respect to alterations he proposes to make. This item classifies two major
uses for an NCA:
"I. Habitat - The provision of habitat for plants and animals is a valid use for Nature
Conservation Areas. Depending on site characteristics, this type of use can be
accommodated through the protection of existing habitat areas or throu~h the Mantin~
or re-establishment of habitat where degradation has occurred.
2. Recreation - Nature observation is a passive recreational pursuit. .... Low intensity
improvements should be considered to accommodate passive recreation."
If this lot was sold to us with NCA easement, we both would conform to this plan as it
is outlined. We stand to gain the most from this parcel more than anyone due to close
proximity. It is only Natural that we own it, care for it, and enjoy it. Everyone who
passes by can also enjoy it, at our expense, not the taxpayers.
"Although perhaps not spec~cally defined as use, aesthetics is another aspect qf Nature
Conservation areas. The vistas afforded by an open fieM or the colors, textures and
shade ora wooded area enhance a community by providing contrast to the built
environment."
#7) COST
This item strikes the taxpayer in the wallet, and the current political environment
concerning taxes is not providing the funding for proper care by the city. The City should
look for alternate ways of accomplishing its goal. Which brings us back to the introduction
of the NCA Plan? The need for Natural Open Spaces does not require the City to own
these parcels, only preserve them.
#8 ) ACTION PLAN Item 4 page 11. "Investigate other methods ofpreservmg open
space areas. Establishing conservation easements on parcels sold to abutting proper~
owners or deeding various sites to organizations such as the Nature Conservancy may be
viable alternatives to the City of Mound retaining ownership's of all NCA parcels."
In dosing, if'you read or re-read the NCA Plan (July, 1993) you will see why you
should recommend to the City Council that this lot be released for sale with a conservation
easement. Save the taxpayer's money and come to a resolution as soon as possible. A
vote at the next P&OSC meeting is not aa unrealistic goal. If the City can not get a
response fi.om the City Attorney, maybe we should find a new Attorney.
Sincerely, ]~~.~

REQUEST TO RELEASE NATURE CONSERVATION AREA LOCATED AT ENCHANTED & HERON
LANE, LOT 1, BLOCK 20, SHADYWOOD POINT, PID 13-117-24 11 0064.
The Parks Director explained that a legal opinion, as requested by the Park Commission, has not yet
been received from the City Attorney. Ahrens questioned why it was taking the attorney so long to
reply. Casey asked for a clarification of what was being requested of the attorney. Schmidt reviewed
the motion made at the March 9, 1995 meeting, "to get some legal council on conservation
easements and drainage easements." Casey stated that the City would have better control over the
property if the City retained it, and he questioned why the City should spend money on legal advice.
Phil Klein explained that they currently take care of the property and he would like to own the
property so that if he wants to plant some bushes or flowers he does not have to come to the City
for permission. Tom Aune commented that the neighbors were not notified when the status of this
property was changed from "for sale to adjoining property owners" to "retain for conservation
purposes."
Goode questioned what happened with this property between 1986 when the property was retained
for drainage purposes, and 1992 when it was made available for sale to adjoining property owners.
Darling questioned Aune and Klein what their motivation is to own the property. Klein commented
that it will enhance his property, he would like to plant wild raspberries, flowers, etc., and clean up
weeds, dead brush, etc. Aune commented that it would increase the square footage of his lot to help
with hardcover, and he would like to use the area to store his boat. In turn, they questioned the
City's motivation to retain the property. Goode replied that the City's interest in the property is for
conservation purposes, according to Resolution #93-144.
Schmidt questioned if this property has officially been declared as a Nature Conservation Area (NCA).
The Parks Director suggested that the neighbors could clean-up the property through the adopt-a-
green space program, and that the City would assist in the removal of debris when dumping occurs.
The intent of a Nature Conservation Area is to maintain the property in a natural state, it does not
allow the storage of vehicles. The Secretary is to mail adopt-a-green space information to Aune and
Klein.
Ahrens stated that a Land Alteration Permit is required in order to allow the trimming of trees, or the
removal of vegetation, according to City Code Section 320. It was questioned if this permit would
be required for work on a NCA. Is this property actually an NCA? Can the property be released with
easements?
MOTION made by Darling, seconded by Goode to table discussion on this request until
more information is gathered. Motion carried 7 to 1. Those in favor were: Darling,
Goode, Ahrens, Byrnes, Schmidt0 Geffre, and Meyer. Casey was opposed.
MOTION made by Casey, seconded by Darling, to provide the Park and Open Space
Commission with the cost for rending the opinion from the City Attorney. Motion
carried unanimously.

Dear Peggy:
We are writing to you about the lot abutting our lots. We would like to advise the
Park and Open Space Committee of our joint effort to purchase this lot. Would you
please forward this letter to each of them for reference material at the next meeting. Our
intention of joining together to purchase this lot is a compromise, we both want to buy the
lot. However neither of us want the liability of the whole lot. We would like to subdivide
the lot into two parcels as follows; Parcel 1 = 65' x 85' & Parcel 2 = 65' x 40'.
Mr. Aune wants Parcel 1 which fronts Enchanted Lane, Mr. Klein wants parcels 2
which is to the rear of his lot.
We both feel this proposal is good for the City and good for us.

MARCH 9, 1995
REQUEST TO RELEASE NATURE CONSERVATION AREA LOCATED AT ENCHANTED
..HERON LANE, LOT 1 , BLOCK 20, SHADYWOOD POINT, PID 13-117-24. 11 0064.
A request was received from Phillip A. Klein to release the subject NCA for sale to the
adjoining lot owners, as noted in his letter to the City Manager dated January 27, 1995. Mr.
Klein owns the adjoining property to the south, 5010 Woodland Road.
The Park and Open Space Commission previously recommended this parcel be retained as a
NCA, and on October 26, 1993 the City Council approved Resolution #9 3-144 authorizing the
conveyance of this property for conservation purposes. If drainage and conservation
easements were to be established, this would not guarantee that future owners of Phil Klein's
property will have knowledge of the easements or its conditions.
Staff recommended that the ownership of this parcel remain with the City in order to ensure
conservation protection of this parcel.
A copy of a memorandum from Thomas Aune, 5011 Enchanted Road, was distributed to the
Commission. Mr. Aune verbally summarized the memorandum and explained that the subject
property lies directly east of his property, and he is against the release of the property, but if
it is released, he would like to be offered the first opportunity to purchase it due to its
relationship to his property. He has been maintaining this property for the last eight years.
In 1992he inquired about purchasing the property, but he did not see a need to do so at that
time, and then in 1993 the status of the property was changed by the City, and he was not
notified. He would like the property to remain as an open area.
Ahrens stated that this property was not formally designated as a Nature Conservation Area.
The Secretary confirmed that Resolution #93-144 states that the property was retained for
conservation purposes. Ahrens commented that this means the property is under our
jurisdiction, but it was not specifically designated as a "Nature Conservation Area" by the
Council.
Ron Gavin, who resides across the street from the subject property, explained the history of
this property and that there use to be cattails on the property, it was a holding pond for
drainage, but now the drainage goes directly into the storm sewer and then into the lake.
3
and Open Space Commission Minutes
March 9, 1995
Phil Klein, applicant, stated that he agrees this property is not a NCA. He would like to make
improvements to the lot so that it is not such an eyesore, but if he is going to invest in it, he
wants to own it. He does not want to have to get permission from the City every time he
wants to do something to it. He feels the City could control the property through easements.
He has a lot of landscaping to do to his new house and would like to incorporate some of his
landscaping onto this lot.
Schmidt questioned the appropriateness of the City holding onto some of these parcels. She
recalled from a tour taken by the Commission that some of these parcels were identifiable only
by the "no dumping" signs. The City will not generate sizeable funds from selling these
properties, and the amount of funds that could be generated by taxes are consequential.
There may be a perceived care for these parcels if they are not held by the City and maybe
this is a way to begin setting a precedence.
Meyer commented that the neighbors concerns and the City's concerns are basically the same,
and the City's concern is that the conservation easement and buffer zones remain intact. Part
of the NCA plan is to get neighborhoods to adopt these areas and take care of these
properties. It is his opinion that the City should retain the property for the seventh generation.
Ahrens commented that she has been an advocate of the fact that ownership breeds pride in
what property looks like, and when people own property, "no dumping" signs don't need to
be erected. All properties need maintenance.This property was available for sale at one time,
and maybe there was some wisdom then. The City can't keep and maintain all parcels. There
was discussion whether easements could work.
Mr. Aune stated that if he had been notified of the City's action in 1993to change the status
of this property, he would have purchased it at that time, but he was not notified.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Schmidt, to get some legal council on
conservation easements and drainage easements. Motion carried unanimously.
Chair Schmidt clarified that discussion will take place at the May I 1th Park and Open Space
Commission meeting on the issue of the pros and cons of creating conservation and drainage
easements on private property versus the City retaining the property as a Nature Conservation
Area.

Dear Mr. Shukle,
On March 4th I received a letter from thc city regarding thc request to release a Nature
Conservation Area located at Enchanted and Heron lane on Three Points. Specifically Lot
1 Block 20, Shadywood Point. PID 13-117-24 11 0064. I contacted Mayor Polston
regarding this request and he advised me to contact you.
Since I purchased my home in 1987 1 have learned that this parcel once was a part of the
property.' I have purchased and that it was let go due to back taxes in the early 1970's. This
parcel remained as tax forfeited property until the city. acquired it in 1993 as an NCA.( an
action I was not aware of or informed of by the ci~;) Now I find that this property is again
up for a status change. This property, directh' abuts my property, to the east for the entire
depth of my lot.
This possible change in status requested by Mr. Phil Klein raises several concerns on my
part that Mayor Polston suggested I relate to you:
1. If the status of this property is to change now or in the future, That I be granted
first option to purchase it. I base this on several points. Since I purchased my property in
1987 1 have taken care of the parcel next to me by mowing part of the front and side to
keep what would have been a large growth of noxious weeds from forming. Due to this
there are now several areas of Day l.Dies growing in the front area. I have also cleared the
drain~e ditch every, spring in order to prevent the ponding of water in the back half. This
drainage ditch is a drainway for the entire block and has comiderable flow during the
spring and requires cleaning each spring. I have also cleared the culvert on several
occasions of concrete blocks that have blocked the flow of water and disposed of them.
Along with this upkeep I have also taken responsibility for cleaning up the trash that by
some means has a way of finding it's way to the sides of streets and open areas. This trash
has mn the gambit from the usual beer can to garbage bags of fish cleaning remains and
baby diapers all of which I have picked up and disposed of at my own time and cost.
In 1992 1 inquired to Hermepin County about the purchase of this property (copy
enclosed) at that time the property was for ,sale to adjacent land holders only,. Due to the
fact that I J Murphy and myself were the om')' adjacent land holders and Murphy had no
interest in it,. there was no point in purchasing it since no one else could which left it safe
until now. Had I been aware of the status change in 1993 1 would have probably purchased
it then.
Since this parcel was originally a part of the property I purchased ,sale of it to any
party other than myself would have adverse effects on my property. Since my house was
built with the two properties intact the sale of the adjo'ming property would leave the east
property linc only 16 to 20 feet away from my house. Thc effect runs the entire depth of
my property whereas sale to me would only affect 30 feet of thc Klein property and would
not alter his prcscnt lot linc in relation to his house.
As things stand now with the propert)' being a conservation area my options as far as
adding on to my house are some what limited but not near~ as bad as they. would be if this
property were to be sold to Mr. Klein. If! were to purchase the property I have no
intention of building on it due to it's function as a drainage path for the rest of the block. It
provides a nice break fi.om both the road and the other surrounding properties. ~qtile it is
not a piece of fine trim lawn it is a nice green area. It would add considerable area to my
yard and would fit in with my existing lot as it did when my house was built.
Being unaware of the change in status in 1993 it had been my hope of either
gran&fathering the two parcels back together by taking care of the tax forfeited parcel or
purchasing it outright when we decided to add on to our house. Sale of it to my wife and
I would make adding on a much more attractive option as well as the resulting property
more attractive to future owners than the odd propert3' that would result from sale to Mr.
Klein. In talking to several of my neighbors th~' agree that if the status of the parcel were
to change that it would make more sense that I purchase it.
2. If the property is to remain as a NCA (which I am agreeable to over sale to Mr.
K.qein) as recommended in memorandum from Mx. J~un Fackler to the Park and Open
Space Commission dated February 8th, that Nit:. Klein be allowed to remove several
small trees at the far south eastern comer of the parcel and replace them w~th a more
astetic variety.
These trees have been damaged by over growth of woodbine and probably would not fare
well even if the woodbine were removed. I tried to remove the woodbine several years ago
but the damage had been done.
3 Mr. Klein and I have discussed the ramifications of his purchase of the parcel and if
my efforts here have been in -,,aha perhaps the parcel could be divided to proxide for Mr.
Klein's needs as well as lessen the negative impact on my property..
In summary.: If the property is to change from it's present status as a NCA that I be
granted first option to purchase based on the history of the property as being originally part
of the plot that my house was built on as well as consideration for my upkeep since 1987
and the resultant continuous lot formed by my. purchase versus the odd lot created by Mr.
Klein's purchase. And that consideration as to the effect on my property bc given thought
prior to sale.
If the parcel is to remain as a NCA that Mr. Klein be allowed to replace the above
mentioned trees. I agree with it remaining as a NCA parcel. I think that this is a good
program as I have watched as more and more houses have been built on smaller and
smaller lots. We are loosing our open space and we need to reserve as much as we can.
I like the lot as it is and ifI did own it I would not change it. It may not be everyone's idea
of beautiful but to me it is far better than reaching om your window and knocldng on the
side of another persom house.
Thank you for your consideration

Request to Release Nature Conservation Area (NCA)
Lot 1, Block 20, Shadywood Point, 13-117-24 11 0064
A request has been received from Phillip A. Klein to release the subject NCA for sale
to the adjoining lot owners, as noted in his letter to the City Manager dated January
27, 1995. Mr. Klein owns the adjoining property to the south, 5010 Woodland Road.
The Park and Open Space Commission recommended this parcel be retained as a NCA,
and the City Council approved Resolution #93-144 on October 26, 1993 authorizing
the conveyance of this property for conservation purposes.
The definition of a Nature Conservation Area is: "City owned and/or controlled lands
which are, or could be, essentially natural and would conserve flora and fauna. Such
areas are to be established in recognition of the benefits of preserving natural open
space for present and future generations."
If drainage and conservation easements were to be established, this would not
guarantee that future owners of Phil Klein's property will have knowledge of the
easements or its conditions. Staff recommends that the ownership of this parcel
remain with the City in order to ensure conservation protection of this parcel.

Mound, Minnesota 55364
Dear Ed:
I am writing about lot 1, Block 20 Shadywood Point. I have inquired at City Hall and am unclear of the actual
status of this lot. My understanding is the lot was for sale in 1985 to adjoining lot owners. It did not sell, and
subsequently the City Council has recommended this parcel be classified as a Nature Conservation Area. See Letter
from City of Mound, dated 11-28-93. I further understand that the City would also like to retain this lot for
drainage purposes.
On July 15th. 1994 I purchased lots 13 & 14, Block 20, Shadywood Point and built a new home on both lots.
See attached drawing. I would like to purchase Lot #1 to enhance my property. With consideration to the changes
that have taken place since the time when the lots were for sale, I propose that the city reevaluate this lot and
"onsider the following alternatives;
1.) Place lot for sale to adjoining lot owners, since recent construction of home on lots 13 & 14.
2.) Place lot for sale to adjoining lot owners with drainage and conservation easements.
3.) Divide lot in half, and sell south half to adjoining lot owners with drainage and conservation easements.
I believe the value of this lot is worth less on its own, than if combined with another. The combined parcels
would have a greater combined value, than the sum of each alone. The sale of this lot would benefit both parties.
Selling the lot would release the City from the maintenance, and lost tax revenues, while still maintaining City
interest in drainage and nature conservation.
I will appreciate any help you can be in working something out that is mutually benefiting to all concerned, hope
to here from you soon.

1.10 RECOMMENI)ATIONS FROM PARKS & QPEN SPACE COMB4I$SION RE:
NATURE CONSERYATION AREAS (NCA'S)
The City Manager explained that the Park & Open Space Commission is recommending 7 sites
for the Council to consider as Nature Conservation Areas. On August 10, 1993, the City
-Council requested the Park and Open Space Commission to recommend 6 to 8 properties as
possible NCA's for the Council to review and designation of 3 to 4. The Commission
recommended the following properties:
PID 24-117-24 44 0196: Located between Churchill and Dundee in Arden. This
property is 167,00 square feet and has retained as a park, however, has not been named
or developed.
PI/) 23-I17-24 31 0077: North of Bartlett, end of Rusticwood (Rustic Place). This
parcel is adjacent to the School District property already preserved as a nature study
area. This parcel is a relatively undisturbed remnant of "Big Woods" habitat. Classified
as a Park.
PID 23-117-24 22 0003: Westedge Blvd. (old sewer pianO, a nice mixture of prairie,
woodlands, and wetlands. This parcel is adjacent to other natural arms. Classified as
a Park.
PID 19-117-23 33 0216: The north half of Doone Park at Doone and Tuxedo. This is
a wooded area which the Commission would like to see developed with a walking path
and perhaps a wild flower garden. This area is adjacent to an undeveloped grassy open
space with no play structures.
[PID 13-117-24 11 0064: An undersized 8,125 square foot parcel located in the R-1 zone
at the corner of Enchanted and Heron in SHADYWOOD Point. For sale to adjoining
property owners only.
PID 14-11%24 31 0013 & 0014: Diamond Lane, across the street from Philbrook Park
and retained for drainage purposes.
PID 14-117-24 44 0057: Located west of Commerce Blvd. (behind Netlm's building)
and south of Dakota Railroad abutting Langdon Lake. This area could be useful for a
future trail system.
The Council thanked the POSC for all their work on this project. They decided they would like
to look at each of the parcels in the Spring and then take action on the NCA's.
_erewas concern about Parcel #5 being sold to an adjoining property owner can

Dear Ed:
5~closed is the correspondence from our files pertaining to the filling of
the above lots the last time it was proposed in 1984. A different individual,
Mr. I.O. Murphy is contemplating purchasing lots 13 anO 14 and filling them to
create a Duildable parcel. I have met with Mr. Murphy and walked the site
again to try and determine to what extent these lots could De filled.
We would approve the granting of a grading permit to fill all of Lot 14 and
the westerly 2/3 to 3/4 of Lot 13 to an elevation slightly above street grade
without an overall grading plan. The remainder of Lot 13 and Lot 1 cannot be
filled without such a plan due to problems that could be created. It appears
that Lots 13 and 14 could be released for sale since the installation of storm
sewer and the street improvement has eliminated their need for drainage
purposes. As previously mentioned Dy myself and in Jon Elams letter of
September 19, 1984 to Mr. Whitman, Lot 1 needs to be retained Dy the City for
drainage purposes.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please
contact us.

File #2113, General
Dear 3on:
After our on-site inspection of the above property, I did some digging in
our files and found the street improvement plans for this area. Enclosed is a
copy of the overall plan. These plans show the storm sewer which was installed
at that time and the system is located as we found it in the field.
It apoears that prior to the installation of storm sewer, culverts were
located in Enchanted Lane and Heron Lane at the present location of the catch
basins and the natural drainageway was to the north across Lots 14, 13, and 1.
With the present storm sewer system in place, it does not appear this drainage
swale is required any more in Lots 13 and 14. Lot 1 is a different case
though. Because this lot is the lowest point in the area, it appears most of
the rear yard drainage goes t~rough this lot and is picked up by the flared end
at Catch Basin 2 in 5qchanteO Lane. It may be feasible to do some filling of
this lot or possibly extending the storm sewer from Catch Basin 2 south to the
rear lot lines to pick up the rear yard runoff.
We wou!O recommend that a complete grading and drainage Dian of this area
be prepared before any further action is taken. This plan should include ex-
isting an~ proposed elevations of not only Lots 1, 13, and ia, but also the ad-
jacent lots and all aojacent streets. At this time it appears possible to Oe-
velop Lots 13 and 14 into a building site, but we would suggest looking at the
entire area before releasing anything for sale.

Dear Mr. Whitman:
RE: LOTS LOCATED ON ENCHANTED ROAD
I have done some preliminary research on the lots you are interested in
on Enchanted Road, Heron Lane and Woodland Road.
Lots 13 and 14, Block 20, Shadywood Point, are both separate parcels and
under State Land Departmen[ control. To make those available, the City
would have to release them for public sale, under the condition that they
be sold as one unit. Together they have 11,084 square feet which would
meet the R-1 Zoning requirements for the area.
Lot 1, Block 20, Shadywood Point, appears to have been taken by the City
for drainage purposes. To determine whether it could be sold would
require the City Engineer to evaluate the drainage area the lot serves
and what alternative drainage options exist.
Off the top of my head, though, it might not make clot of economic sense
to sell the lot to you for say $1,O00 and then have to turn around and
spend $5,000-$6,000 to install a revised system.
Thus, this analysis will take a little longer, especially since the City
Engineer is on vacation for the next two weeks.
Unless all three lots were combined and then resplit, it probably would
not make much sense to divide off a section of Lot 13 and recombine it
with Lot 1.
The remaining questions you asked either are not issues of concern of
have already been answered.
We will get back to you on thi~, once I get further information from the
City Engineer.
Sincerely,

Dear Jon:
About a month ago you and ! had a conversation about
the three lots.at the end of Enchanted Road, ~nese
apparently belong to the City of Mound. They seem to
have been long neglected.
You suggested that for a token fee they could be leased,
or that you would consider a private sale of the property.
I have checked into the lot's. The file for lot number
13 3~_7 ~4 ll 0067) has apparently been lost, but the
files' for ou numoer~14 (13 ll7 24 ll 0068) and the file
for lot number I (13 ll7 ~-~ z£ ~0B4~ are still intact.
Lot number I was granted a variance in 1968, but no one
followed up 'on it to construct a house on an area that
did not cover 10,000 square feet.
Lot hUm'Der 14 serves as a drain area.
I would like to propose the following to the City of
Mound:
1).
2).
i will buy the lots for a token fee.
I will clean the lots of debris, weeds and the
numerous dead trees that make it such an eye-
sore.
3).
I will make the lots buildable by adding fill
and drainage working with the city engineer if
the costs and demands by the City of Mound are
not prohibitive.
I will then place two homes on the three sites
which should enhance the area.
The advantages to the City of Mound would be: a). Getting
rid of an eyesore b). Tax revenues c). No expense for the
cleanup which is inevitable.
I would like the City of Mound to guaranty the following:
1.) That I will be able to use the three sites for
Two homes, if a variance for lot muraber one is
necessary, that it would be granted.
2.) A letter stating precisely what would be necessary
to make the combined sites of lot number 14 and
lot number 13 buildable.
3°) A burning permit to get rid of all the weeds,
branches and accumulated debris over the years.
If this proposal is ac'ceptab!e to you and the City of Mound,
! would appreciate a reply outlining the steps necessary to
bring it about.
i would be willing to purchase uhe property in order to
pursue the issue of a variance and letter from the City
Engineer if the City will agree to buy the land back and
pay for t~%-~ legal expenses if the variance is not granted
or mr the expense outlined by the engineer is over a
that you and i can agree to in advance.
I hope that this proposal will benefit both the City and
me in the long run.
I have no doubt about its benefit to ail of the homes in the
i ...... ediaue area.

Dear Mayor Polston:
The Volunteers of America is excited to be celebrating 100 years of service. Volunteers
of America Week, March 3 - 10, commemorates the founding of our organization on March
8, 1896. We are one of Minnesota's largest human service organizations, and annually
more than 92% of every dollar we receive is spent directly on program services.
Through the years, Volunteers of America has demonstrated it is a dynamic organization
keeping pace with the ever changing world. We recognize the need for developing creative
ways to solve problems and meet community needs for all members of our society.
I hope you will recognize March 3 - 10, 1996 as Volunteers of America Week and ask that
you join us in celebrating our 100th year of service. Your personal proclamation
acknowledging our service to the people in your community will be appreciated.
Your proclamation, along with other proclamations and letters will be duplicated and put
into booklet form. A booklet commemorating our 100th birthday will be placed in the
reception area of each of our programs and senior dining sites.
Something wonderful is happening in Minnesota, because of you! Your interest and support
makes a significant impact on the success of our organization. And, as you know our
success is measured through the lives of those we touch.
Respectfully yours,

RE:
Lake wide cooperation in a Goose control
program - LCMRgrant application
Dear Mayor Polston:
In an effort to control and in certain instances
eliminate established concentrations of geese
around Lake Minnetonka, the LMCD in conjunction
with the University of Minnesota, the DNR and with
the support of the surrounding Lake Communities is
attempting to generate support to draft a LCMR
grant application for goose control.
Several preliminary meetings have been held to test
the interest and feasibility for establishing a
protocol for carrying out this task. The next step
is the securing of a commitment for matching funds
from all benefiting communities, as well as the U.
of M., to move forward with a methodology to begin
the.grant-writing process.
Based upon LCMR Grant requirements, it is proposed
that each lake community budget $1,000 in the year
1997 and a like amount for 1998. In lieu of these
amounts or a portion thereof, an in-kind matching
contribution in the form of a city appointed
coordinator to assist the U. of M. field staff for
the project duration is also acceptable. In turn,
the University will contribute an amount of $14,000
over the same two year time period. This would
bring the total project amount, with all
contributing to $42,000 which would also be
inclusive of Professor James Cooper, U. of M.
Extension Specialist's time commitment.
The final grant submittal date is 4:30 P.M.,
February 23, 1996, leaving us with a rather short
time period to respond. Should your council agree
to participate, a letter of commitment addressed to

Please review the enclosures and make copies as you
deem appropriate for your Council Members. If Dr.
Cooper or I could answer any questions please

Notes on Oct. 3 l, 1995 Meeting on
Alternative Canadian Goose Control Approaches
Dr. James A. Cooper of Univ. of Minnesota

Concerns about Goose Population
Goose flocks leave messy, smelly and unsanitary deposits on lawns, play~ounds,
beaches, golf courses, etc.
Heavy densib' of geese may cause lake pollution.
Geese sometimes attack people, especially children.
Traffic hazard.
Reasons for Opposition to Goose Control Measures
Many residents like to watch geese & other wildlife by their homes.
Some residents object to "killing wildlife" - "They have rights too!"
Some residents object to shooting or other noises, or fear safety.
ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES
Removal:
Collect. hold and transport geese to remote locations
Contract with University of Minnesota (Dr. Cooper)
Pro: Effective over a year or two
Now being used by many Metro cities
Con: Geese come back after a year or two.
Cost is around $1,000 per site
University wants minimum of 25 geese at site -- preferably 50.
Slaughter
Round up. kill, process and donate to food shelf programs
Done on a limited trial basis this year for first time
Pro: Provides food (protein) for needy through food shelf programs
Con: Is slightly more expensive than removal.
Small numbers at present mean limited impact on population.
Destruction
Remove, break or spray eggs with vegetable oil to kill embryos
Pro: Effective in reducing reproduction
Con: Often hard to find, reach nests -- labor intensive & costly
Prohibited by federal, state, city regulations unless special permits.
Neighbors often object to destruction of "their birds."
Huntin~
Cities may grant hunting permits during early special goose hunting seasons
Hunters must observe safety restrictions, especially in dense housing areas.
Pro: Can make contribution to lowering goose density
Con: Small scale means very limited impact
Frequent opposition from neighbors
Safer3' concerns if not properly supervised
Dead Goose
Decoys
Dead goose decoys on property keep geese away temporarily.
Pro: Effective in keeping geese from landing on property
Con: Decoys must be moved every day or two or geese return.
Scarine
Devices
Firing
Pro:
Con:
noise makers from pistol launcher scare geese off property.
Projectiles are either "screamers" or "bangers."
Effective for a day
Must be fired daily to have effect on population
Bird Scare
Tape
Run mylar strips along shore -- 2 layers, 18 to 24" high
Stronger if mylar is wrapped around string.
Pro: Effective in keeping geese from coming off water to lawns,
especially in molting season
Con: Geese soon fred and use any gaps.
Usually only shifts geese to nearby unprotected property.
Veeetatlon
Barrier
Woody vegetation border along shores keeps geese off lawns because
they fear predators grabbing goslings in vegetation.
Pro: Effective in keeping geese from coming up on lawns
Natural vegetation along shore also reduced pollution.
Con: Hard to maintain vegetation border as water level rises and drops.
Unless vegetation is continuous geese will find a way through or
around.
netainine
Wall
Do[~s
Geese don't like to fly up to top of wall if high enough (8 ft.)
Effect similar to vegetation or string barrier
Pro: Effective unless geese find a way through or around
Con: Many shore residents don't want shore walls
Shoreland restrictions; very expensive to install
Unleashed dogs, especially large ones, chase geese off property.
Pro: Now working in parts of Woodland because we have no leash law.
Con: Dogs only chase geese to nearby property.
Some residents object to dogs roaming freely and barking.
Chemical Spray
Repellent Pro:
Con:
goose repellent chemical on area to be protected.
Effective in sprayed area, according to manufacturers.
Expensive ($70 for I/4 acre)
Not yet DNR approved or recommended
Must observe safety precautions in applying
POSSIBLE JOINT ACTION TO CONTROL GEESE
There was some discussion of organizing joint action and financing from the 14 cities
around Lake Minnetonka, since this region has a very high concentration of geese. (2, 000
geese counted on Minnetonka in June, '94)
The cities would share the costs of a major and continuing effort.
Such joint action would not simply push the geese to the next door neighbor.
klan>' cities (Edina. Deephaven. Plymouth. Chanhassen) already have programs.
Invite LMCD & Watershed District to participate.
Seek funding assistance from the Legislative Commission on Minnesota
Resources. (This would require legislative support & lobbying.)
Question:
10 31,95 Nk'D
Should the cost be borne by the city or concerned residents?

PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION PROCESS
The Commission will employ a vadety of tools in the proposal evaluation process:
1. Strategies and criteria as presented in the RFP will be applied. LCMR staff will sort all proposals by
strategy and rank them according to the cdteda for use by the LCMR members dudng their initial
selection process.
2. LCMR staff will seek additional outside review as needed to focus on improving proposals and ·
coordination. The staff review may include seeking revisions to the proposals by which proposals
may be strengthened, either technically or in terms of the range of activities included. Review may
also reveal areas where increased cooperation and coordination on a Proposal might be appropriate
and result in a request for consideration of merger with one Or more other proposals.
3. The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) for the Trust Fund will perform an initial review of proposals
and provide the Commission with their determination as to which projects best fit the strategies and
criteria in the Strategic Plan for the Trust Fund as well as the Trust Fund law.
4. The LCMR members will review all proposals received and select approximately 150 proposals to
schedule for a hearing. After the initial selection of proposals for further consideration, additional
information about the proposals will be requested of program managers to aid in the decisionmaking.
At the hearings, program managers will be requestecl to appear before the Commission to explain
the project and the specific project results associated with completion of the activities of the project.
5. The Commission will make its funding recommendations to the Legislature in summer Of 1996. The
Commission will determine which funding source is appropriate for a proposed project.
6. An additional, separate, technical peer review process will be conducted before presentation to the
legislature for research proposals recommended by the Commission. An interdisciplinary peer
review panel, comprised of natural resource experts from across the U.S., will review recommended
projects for the adequacy of the methodology and procedures, the need for the proposed research,
and qua!ifications of the investigators. A detailed work program will be required for these projects by
or before September 1996 to be used in the peer review process. Program managers will be
requested to present their proposed work program to the panel.
Finally, when acted on by the 1997 Legislature and with Commission work program approval, funds will
be avail3ble for projects beginning July 1, 1997.

SUBJECT:
JANUARY 1996 MONTHLY REPORT
January, with its sub-zero weather was a very frigid month. However, sales were hot
and sizzling. For the month gross sales totaled $107,319. In January of 1995, we
did $100,299. Thus, we were up 7%! In addition, we had an extra 900 more
customers this January than we did in January of 1995. I can't really explain it. We
haven't done anything differently this January than we did last January. I will gladly
take it though.
One item of importance to pass along that happened last month. We lost one of our
beer cooler compressors. About nine years ago I purchased a used compressor to
replace the existing one that broke for $500. We certainly got a lot of years out of
it, but it finally gave up the ship. The one that I just bought cost around $800. If it
works as well as the old one did, we will certainly get our dollars worth.
Another item of importance to relate to you is very depressing. For the first time in
over two years, all the beer companies have decided to raise their prices to their
distributors nationally. This means higher costs to us and unfortunately higher retail
prices to the consumer. We are looking at roughly a 4% increase across the board.
Hopefully, if enough customers switch from beer to something else, maybe Miller, Bud
and the rest will roll back their prices sometime this spring.

JANUARY 1996 MONTHLY REPORT
WINTERFEST
The first part of January we did some things for the Lions Winterfest at Mound Bay
Park. We flooded and plowed the skating ring. We plowed the park for parking
spaces for the dogs. We put up banners on Bartlett Boulevard,
STREETS
In early January we widened streets by removing snow and cleaned out cul-da-sacs.
The rain storm came on the 17th and 18th. Then we had the deep freeze which
created a tough situation on the roads. From the 18th through the 30th of January
we purchased 200 tons of salt and 1,100 tons of sand. Compared to last year in
January, we only used 100 tons of salt and 500 tons of sand. We mixed every day.
When the rains first came, we used up all we had mixed that was in storage. Every
day we mixed up sand mixture. During the deep freeze we put a lot of sand on the
streets. The first week we put down 600 tons of sand down. When it gets cold like
that, the salt/sand just will not work. We were stuck with the ice. We only allocated
400 tons of salt a year and we have another two months of snow at least. We will
definitely be over our contract limit, which will be a problem. Cargill has been spoken
to and they do have enough salt for us, the contract will need amending and the price
will be higher. During the freezing rain we had a lot of branches down causing cables
to be down. We trimmed some branches that were hanging into the right-of-way
creating hazard situations for vehicles. These trimmings have been deposited at the
stock pile. At the time of this report, we have received some warm weather. We are
now starting to take care of the ice on the roads. The Street Department had help for
the last half of the month from the Water Department. Basically, the street
maintenance took up the last half of January.

WATER DEPARTMENT
There was a watermain break on the 18th on Eagle Lane during the storm. We had
a situation with lift stations down due to power cables that had ice on them, blowing
fuses or cables had snapped. Shorewood, Glen Elyn and Beachside Lane in Three
Points caused lift stations to be without some power. We had to bring in a pump
truck to pump the sewage. It took NSP 13 hours to arrive to fix the problem. They
had a backlog of their own due to the weather.
Hopefully, at the time of this report, we will have done some scraping due to the
warm weather. The ice is starting to come up. We replenished our supply of sand
and have mixed a strong batch of salt/sand to put on the roads when the weather
broke and it has worked well. We will continue scraping and removing ice for as long
as we can.

Closin,q of the Year 199,~
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.

Final Report. The total expenditures for the program were $109,115
and the revenues from the sale of recyclables were $18,264. The county
entitlement for the year was $30,522. The city collected $59,529 in household
charges. As an ex. ample of participation for the month of October, out of 16,485

JANUARY 1996 MONTHLY REPORT
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
There were 12 building permits issued in January for a construction value of $261,693, and
this is about normal for January. The cold temperatures have kept our contractors at bay for
a short time, however, with the falling interest rate I don't think this is going to last long. We
issued 13 plumbing, mechanical and miscellaneous permits this month for a total of 25 year-
to-date.
PLANNING & ZONING
There were two zoning cases processed this month by the Planning Commission and Council.
In addition, staff is working on the streamlining of variances and conducting a variance study
to bring back to the Planning Commission as soon as possible. The City Council is continuing
its discussion of the proposed improvement of Kildare Road.

SUBJECT: JANUARY REPORT - LMCD
1.0 General Items.
!. 1 Thc reaction of the cities to the proposed uniform phosphorus
control ordinance was less than overwhelming, All who au.ended seemed to
agree that less nutrient in the lake is a good idea, but that, in my view, was
the last consensus expression on the matter. Mound was not represented at
the conference. Is there an interest in this topic? What should be my
position?
2.0 Exotic Species Task Force,
2.1 Language has been added to all lake contest permit applications
where trailed in boats are involved requiring that a management plan for
cleaning of the boats be included with the application. Ali permits will be
faxed to the LMCD prior to approval so better control of stranger boats can
be achieved. The DNR is in the process of getting the names and locations
of all currently infested waters, both river and inland, in the five state area.
Specific mention of prior exposure to these water bodies can be an assist in
determining our risk.
2.2 A more detailed 10 step plan for the attempt to control the
introduction of zebra mussels to the lake is being formulated. This will be
difficult!
3.0 Water Structures
3.1 The City of Excelsior and the Excelsior Park Pavilion are
requesting extensive changes in their dock structures to better accommodate
the steamer Minnehaha and the charter boats that dock there. The requested
exceptions to the general practice for multiple docks go beyond what might
be approved for another location. The Board feels if there were ever to be
an exception, the Minnehaha is it. It appears that we are going with very
restrictive code changes rather than issue a questionable variance.
The first reading of the code changes was approved.
4.0 Lake Use.
4.1 The Crane Island Association has requested that slow buoys be
placed in the narrows between Eagle Island and Zumbra Heights. Since this
channel is but 300' wide. and no wakes are required 150' from shore, this
area is already a no-wake zone, but not observed. Approval was given to

RE: Status of Work Rules
BY FAX AND MAIL
472-0620
Dear Mr. Shukle:
Last night I was asked to comment on the rules which are adopted from time-to-time by
the Park and Open Space Advisory Commission ("Commission") and referred to by it as "Work
Rules". The question was prompted by the discussion of Work Rule amendments in the January
11, 1996 Commission minutes.
The Commission is established and governed by Section 255 of the Mound Ordinance
Code. Section 255:10. authorizes the Commission to "adopt rules for the transaction of
business .... "
It appears to me that, absent a more restrictive direction from the City Council, the Work
Rules discussed in the referenced minutes do, in varying degrees have a relationship to the
transaction of business.
Moreover, although the City Council may, it has not required that the Work Rules be
approved by it prior to adoption by the Commission.
Sincerely,
JBD:ds

RE: The ,,Special Event Permitting Process" as it
concerns the potential transfer of undesirable
exotic materials into Lake MinnetoD~a
Dear Mr. Shukle:
The LMCD has begun a proactive program to prevent
the potential spread of Zebra Mussels and other
exotics into Lake Minnetonka.
The Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol, in
conjunction with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation
District, is responsible for the permitting of
seasonal special events on Lake Minnetonka. This
includes all fishing tournaments where the
potential for transfer of exotic materials from one
aquatic system to another represents a major threat
to the Lake. Given our past experience with the
Eurasian Water Milfoil situation and a potential
Zebra Mussel infestation, the concern is high that
a repeat of the Milfoil experience will occur.
Our initial effort will be to monitor all event
sponsors and assure that they will provide the LMCD
with the information necessary to meet the
requirements of State Statute MS18.137, copy
attached. We must do everything possible to reduce
the probability of introducing the "Zebra Mussel"
and other exotics into Lake Minnetonka.
With the approach of ice out, a request has been
made by the Eurasian Water Milfoil/Exotics Task
Force Committee of the LMCD, that all fourteen lake
communities'be reminded of this situation and that
each city take the necessary steps to prevent the
launching of contaminated boats during your city's
permitted special events. The DNR is attempting to
monitor the various public access points, however,
many city owned docks as well as any un-managed
access points are of special concern.

Watercraft Inspection Program
Background
The potential for boaters to accidentally move aquatic exotic species from one lake to another
has long been recognized as a serious threat to Minnesota's aquatic ecosystems. For this
reason, the 1991 Minnesota Legislature mandated DNR conservation officers to conduct
inspections of trailered boats on Minnesota highways. The purpose of these inspections was to
look for Eurasian watermilfoil, issue citations to violators, and to inform the public about the
potential spread of exotic species. In 1992, the DNR, the Minnesota Lakes Association and
angling groups proposed and supported legislation (adopted as M.S. 18.3'7, Subd. 3a), Calling
for I0,000 hours of random inspections of watercraft leaving "infested" water bodies containing
harmful aquatic exotic species such as Eurasian watermilfoil, spiny waterflea, and zebra
mussels. Subsequently in 1992, a watercraft inspection program was established by the DNR
to accomplish this mandate. In 1993, legislation was passed increasing the number o£ hours to
20,000 starting with the 1994 boating season. The program is funded through a five dollar
surcharge on each watercraft license.
Goals and Objectives
Watercraft Inspectors, employed through the DNR's Minnesota Conservation Corps, conduct
inspections at public water access sites on infested waters. The goal of theft effort is to
promotz stewardship by educating and actively involving boaters in preventing the spread of

species, the laws regarding their transportation, and to show individuals how to inspect and
remove exotics l'rom theix own boating equipment before leaving an access.

effects of exotic species to Minnesota's waters.
- Distribution of written materials and ~Exotic Alert' tags.
- Recording and documenting iaformation and data necessary to evaluate the following:
the spread of exotic species, observances of exotic species on watercraft and
trailers, public awareness, and other pertinent research information.
- Forwarding boater's technical inquiries to DNR specialist.

The majority of infested waters in the state are located within the metropolitan area and include
some of the most heavily used recreation lakes in Minnesota. As shown in Table 2, inspection
efforts were concentrated in the seven county metropolitan area where 78 % of the inspections
occurred.
The number of inspections conducted per day varies due to weather conditions and boater
activity. The number of inspections conducted exceeded 1994 numbers by over 9000
inspections. This may be due to an exceptionally hot summer and improved economic
conditions. It also may be due to increased inspection activities during typical high use periods
such as holidays and weekends.
Other Accomplishments and Responsibilities
- Provided staf/'mg for three road checks conducted by the Division of Enforcement.
- Staffed the Exotic Species display for each day of the 1995 Minnesota State Fair.
- Posted new signs at 176 public water accesses on infested water bodies throughout
the state. The new signs read ~Please STOP and Remove AIJ. Aquatic Plants
and Drain Water from Boat and Trailer"
- Conducted inspections at over 15 different fishing tournaments throughout the state.
- Distributed Exotic Alert Tags on 14,605 vehicles with trailers at access points on
infested waters.
- Conducted a trial Boat Washing Feasibility project. MCC watercraft inspection
supervisors operated the boat wash at selected infested water access sites for
several weekends in July and August. Watercraft inspectors assisted with
the boatwash, inspections, and additional surveys for the feasibility trial.
Information was collected on public interest in a boat wash service, what the
public would be willing to pay, and cost to operate a boat wash for the DNR.
Thc 1995 inspection season was generally well received by boaters. Many boaters had positive
comments about the program and the DNR's effort to stop the spread &exotic species.

Re: 1996 Livable Communities Participation
Dear Mr. Shukle:
The Metropolitan Council has received the city's resolution authorizing participation in the Local Housing
Incentives Account Program and goals statement for 1996 through 2010.
Please be advised that while this resolution and goals statement are very much appreciated and certainly meet the
requirements for incentive funding points under our ISTEA Incentive Funding Policy, the city will not be eligible to
receive funding in 1996 under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund.
While the Council has tried to provide maximum flexibility to cities to meet tight legislatively imposed deadlines,
we cannot allow the city of Mound to participate in 1996 given that its Resolution and goals were adopted after a)
the November 15 deadline for resolutions and b) the January 11 public heating date for considering goals.
We look forward to working with you on your action plan by June 30, 1996 and the election for the city to
participate in the Local Housing Incentives Program Account for 1997.

Mr. Shulke
I am interested in the opening on ~our planning commission. If that does not work out my second choice
would be your park and open space commission.
I am an engineer at the Ford Motor C~)mpany Plant in St. Paul. I transferred here from Farmington Hills,
MI. in April of 1995. We moved into our home on Cooks Bm, in August.
We enjoy living on the lake. I am interested in what is going to happen in Mound. I plan to retire in this
area within the next five years. I would like to be part of Mounds growth, and help to guarantee that it
happens in an orderly and attractive manner.
I do not have any experience working on a planning commission. I have worked on other volunteer
community positions:
1. l was in charge of the soup kitchen in Detroit for our church.
2. I was a member of the Edina volunteer fire department until my transfer in 1985.
Mx' home phone number is: 472-7456. x~'ork is: 696-0770
Thank you for ),our consideration.
Sincerely.
