CSAH 125 - REPORT Since the last meeting Jim Wold of Hennepin County and John Cameron City Engineer have completely gone over CSAH 125 and on that basis the City Engineer submitted his report to the Council. Councilmember Ulrick asked the City Engineer if he saw any major problems 2 years down the line if the City were to take over CSAH 1257 Mr. Cameron replied that some areas of CSAH 125 have not been overlayed for 15 years and with the overlay the' County is proposing the road should last 8 to 10 years with some City maintenance which could be done with state aid funds. Mr. Jim Wold assured the Council that the City would not have to take over the road until all the work on the road and the Black Lake Bridge was completed. The Council voiced concern about Mr. Johnson (who lives right over the bridge in Mound) and his water connection. The City Manager responded that Mr. Johnson is receiving water from Mound not Spring Park and this should not be a problem. The City Manager stated that he has the plans for the Black Lake Bridge construction in his office and the Council is welcome to come in and look at them. He then read the sample resolution that the County had prepared. Charon moved and Polston seconded the following resolution.

UPDATE ON THE ARCADE - TOM WATSON - SPECIAL USE PERMIT The City Manager explained that since the last meeting and Resolution No. 82-58, Mr. Watson has met with the Building Inspector and is planning to move the Arcade to 5558 Auditor's Road. Mr. Watson asked that the Building Inspector go to this new location and itemize what would be required to operate the Arcade. The Building Inspector submitted the following report to Mr. Watson: 1. Landing at rear door. 2. Place 3 foot exit door more than 1/2 distance from rear entry. 3. Place ABC#2A size extinguisher and wall mount. 4. Remove one electric circuit and cap as pointed out during inspection. 5. Provide two (2) bathrooms - minimum code. 6. Redecorate 7- Concrete block up rear door to garage or replace with one hour rated door, frame, threshold, self-closing device. The Council questioned whether a Special Use Permit could be transferred to another location. After checking with the City Attorney, the City Manager replied that it could not be transferred and therefore another public hearing would have to be held regarding a Conditional Use Permit for the new location. Councilmember Swenson felt that #6 of the Building Inspector's report was not a code violation and should not be a stipulation. Counciimember Uirick was concerned about the steep driveway that is quite close to the proposed entrance to the Arcade. He also stated that he would also like to see a plan for the proposed Arcade. Ulrick moved and Poiston seconded the following resolution. RESOLUTION #82-70 RESOLUTION TO SET THE DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE ARCADE TO BE LOCATED A 5558 AUDITOR'S ROAD FOR APRIL 6, 1982. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. Councilmember Swenson then suggested that maybe the Council could hold a special meeting on March 30, 1982, to hold the public hearing and therefore if the Conditional Use Permit passed Mr. Watson could open 1 week earlier. 45 March 9, 1982 Since March 30 was not a regular Council Meeting time Councilmembers Ulrick and Polston had scheduled other things for that night and could not attend. ELECTION EQUIPMENT The City Manager reported that the School District has asked if they might officially share the election equipment that the City owns, since they use it for their school board elections a.iso.

City Manager sent the School District a proposal that they pay $3210. for their half and then ali repairs would be shared by both the City and the School District. The School District has sent the City a purchase order and accepted the proposal. The Council saw only one problem with sharing the equipment and that was if both the City and the School needed the equipment for the same day. Charon moved and Polston seconded the following resolution. RESOLUTION #82-71 RESOLUTION TO OFFICIALLY SHARE THE CITY ELECTION EQUIPMENT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR $3210, AND ONE HALF THE COST OF' REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE WITH A STIPULATION The vote was unanimously in favor.

RESOLUTION NO. 82-50 RESOLUTION TO SET THE DATE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED WETLANDS ORDINANCE FOR MARCH 23, 1982, AT 7:30 P.M. WHEREAS, the Wetlands Committee has presented their proposed wetlands Ordinance and are now ready for a public hearing on it. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUND, MINNESOTA: That the Council does hereby set the date for the public hearing on the Wetlands Ordinance for March 23, 1982, at 7:30 P.M. A motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Counc|lmember Polston and upon vote being taken thereon; the following voted in favor thereof: Charon, Polston, Swenson, Ulrick and Lindlan; the following voted against the same: none; whereupon said resolution was declared passed and adopted, signed by the Mayor and his signature attested by the City Clerk. MaYor Attest: City Clerk 5% March 17, 1982 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER Attached is the proposed Wetlands Ordinance as approved by the Planning Commission on a 6 to 1 vote. This is the fourth draft the Wetlands Committee has come up with and I think incorporates the latest approach to land use management and zoning. Basically that is called performance zoning - meaning basically nothing is prevented from being undertaken in the wetlands as long as you fulfill all the required performance standards for the site, through the issuance of a Wetlands Permit. The ordinance laYs out when you need this permit, i.e. whenever anyone constructs, installs or alters any structure located in a wetland or when a wetland is cleared or altered of vegetation or finally when land is subdivided in a wetland. The location of each designated wetland is recorded on a Wetlands Map which accompanies this ordinance. It should be noted that all wetlands under 2½ acres have been excluded from the rules and regulations of the proposed ordinance, thus confining the ordinance to those areas that are real wetlands versus potholes, etc. Emergency provisions in the ordinance are laid out (in case of flooding or related water problems). Specific performance standards cover: A. Filling B. Dredging C. Sewer Discharge D. Building Requirements E. Vegetation After the applicant submits a plan, the City will work with the Hennepin County Soil & Water Conservation District to evaluate the proposal against the standards the City is requiring. Finally like any Special or Conditional USe Permit, (A Wetland Permit follows the same procedure) the City can approve it with a series of conditions. The final section of the ordinance lays out City inspection requirements and finally a variance procedure similar to our Zoning Ordinance. In the end, I think, we have a good proposal. The Wetlands Committee did an outstanding job, and although I think alot of people don't understand the ordinance, hopefully after the public hearing they will better under- stand it. WETL~NDS OVERLAY DISTRICT Page 1 The City Council of Mound finds that there are wetlands within the City which, as part of the ecosystem, are critical to the health, safety and welfare of the land, animals and people within the City. These wetlands, if preserved and maintained, constitute important physical, aesthetic, recreational and economic assets ~or existing and future residents of the City. Therefore, the purposes of this district are: 1. To provide for the protection, preservation, proper maintenance and use of specified wetlands. 2. To minimize the disturbance to them as to prevent damage from excessive sedimentation, eutrophicat~ion or) pollution. 3. To prevent loss of fish and other aquatic organisms, wildlife and vegetation and the habitats of the same. 4. To provide for the protection of the City's fresh water supplies from the dangers of drought, overdraft, pollution or mismanagement. 5. To reduce the financial burdens imposed upon the community through rescue and relief efforts occasioned by the occupancy or use of areas subject to periodic flooding and prevent loss of life, property damage and the losses and risks associated with flood conditions. 6. To preserve the location, character and extent of natural drainage courses. DISTRICT BOUNDRIES This district shall apply to wetland areas which are specifically delineated on the official Wetlands Map of the City of Mound and defined as follows: Type 3 wetlands: Inland shallow fresh marshes. The soil is usually waterlogged during the growing season; often it is covered with as much as six (6) inches or more of water. Vegetation includes grasses, bulrushes, pickerelweed and smartweeds. These marshes may nearly fill shallow lake basins or sloughs, or they may border deep marshes on the landward side. They are also common as deep areas on irrigated lands. Type 4 wetlands: Inland deep fresh marshes. The soil is covered with six (6) inches to three (~) feet or more of water during the growing season. Vegetation includes cattails, reeds, bulrushes, spiderushes and wild rice. In open areas, pondweeds, naiads, coontail, watermilfoils, waterweeds, duckweeds, waterlilies or spatterdocks may be found. These marshes may almost completely fill shallow lake basins, potholes, limestone sinks and sloughs or they may border open water in such depressions, Type 5 wetlands: Inland open fresh water. Shallow ponds and resevoirs are included in this type. Water is usually less than ten (10) feet deep and is fringed by a border of ergent vegetation. Vegetation includes pondweeds, naiads, wild celery, coontail, watermilfoils, muskgrasses, waterlilies and spatterdocks.

The application shall include a map of the site, a plan of the proposed development and the estimated cost of development. Other engineering data such as surveys and other descriptive information are also required. In order to determine the effects of such development of the wetland the City Council may require additional information including but not limited to the following: 1. A specific description of the type, amount and location of the development 2. A description of the ecological characteristics of the wetland WETLANDS OVERLA] DISTRICT Page 3 3. A conservation plan describing actions to be taken to mitigate any detrimental effects of development and 4. Maps and data on soils, water table and flood capacity of the wetland.

PERMIT STANDARDS No Permit shall be issued unless the City of Mound finds and determines that the proposed development complies with the following standards: A. Filling A minimum amount of filling may be allowed when necessary but in no case shall the following restrictions on total amount of filling be exceeded. Since the total amount of filling which can be permitted is limited, the City, when considering Permit applications, shall consider the equal apportionment of fill opportunity to riparian land owners. 1. Total filling shall not cause the total natural flood storage capacity of the wetland to fall below the projected volume of runoff from the whole developed wetland watershed generated by a six (6) inch rainfall in twenty-four (24) hours. 2. Total filling shall not cause the total natural nutrient stripping capacity of the wetland to fall below the nutrient production of the wetland watershed for its projected development. 3. Only fill free of chemical pollutants and organic wastes may be used. 4. Wetlands shall not be used for solid waste disposal. B.Dredging Dredging may be allowed only when a boat channel is required for access to a navigable lake, for a marina or when it will not have a substantial or significantly adverse effect upon the ecological and hydrological characteristics of the wetland. Dredging, when allowed, shall be limited as follows: 1. It shall be located so as to maximize the activity in the areas of lowest vegetation density. 2. It shall not significantly change the water flow characteristics. 3. The size of the dredged area shall be limited to the mimimum necessary to accomplish the purpose. 4.

Quite honestly, I am disappointed. It seems poorly organized and l really don't know where to go from here. The report was prepared by Rob and handed out at the last DAC Meeting. Instead of postponing action on it while it was reviewed, they went ahead and voted on it. Thus we now face a decision on it with a price tag of $10,245. I really need some help on this and where to go with it. Please give it your thoughts and at the meeting give me some direction. JE:fc CIT ' ()f MOUND 5341 MAYWOC, D ~,O,~D MOUND. MINNESCTZ, (612) 472~1155 HEHORANDUH TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Jon Elam, City Manager Rob Chelseth, City Planner 15 March 1982 Downtown Advisory Committee's Recommendation to City Council Attached please find, "SECTION I: ACTION PLANS FOR THE REVITALIZATION OF DOWNTOWN MOUND", as recommended by the Downtown Advisory Committee (DAC) to the City Council for their approval. Please note the Action Plan places 20 objectives into five planning groups, that the DAC pro- poses to begin work on in numerical order as time and resources permit. The DAC has also passed a resolution requesting approval to disperse the remaining $10,245 in the downtown planning budget on implementation of the action plans. Rob Chelseth Planner Re/ms Attachment 5'7 SECTION I: ACTIOI~ PLAI~S FOR THE REVIIALIZATIOi~ OF DOWI6OWI'I MOUND The following objectives have been identified as requiring the attention of the Downtown Advisory Committee for successful advancement. The objectives have been clustered into working groups, to allow work efforts to be combined and coordinated, saving energy, time and resources. GROUP #1: DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS '~ Objective I.B. The need to plan and provide technical assistance to update store fronts, signs and store rears; and assist in finding financing to assist in such activities. Specific Actions: There are three actions necessary to accomplish this objective. The first is the. preparation of a plan to guide the renovation of store fronts/rears and signs by building occupants. A professional with experience in building renovation should be retained to prepare several design concepts and formats retailers can choose from. The second action required is to provide technical assistance to stores undertaking rehabilitation projects. A fifty percent matching grant fund can be set aside to help defray the cost of'the professional advice building occupants seek for designs on store improvements. Finally, to assist store occupants in financing the material and labor costs associated with reno- vation, the City, in cooperation with a local financial institution, can provide improvement loans at a reduced rate of interest. Funding sources available to the City through federal community development programs are eligible for this type of activity. A loan program (including appli£ations and procedures) must be developed. Resources Needed: Preparation of a design guide For renovating downtown stores will require the services ora qualified architect, or other member of the design profession with experience in building rehab work. To underwrite these costs, the DAC can draw on its downtown planning funds. It is recommended that this work be combined with the other downtown design projects (e.g. work on a street scape plan) requiring technical services. A budget for both projects can be set at $4,000. Funds to provide fifty percent matching monies for technical assistance on design work to specific store renovation projects can be made available through the Year VIII application of Mound's Community Development Block Grant.-At this time, $5,000 has been set aside for this activity. These funds will become available in July of this year.' Funds to provide reduced interest loans for rehabilitation work must come from public and private sources. On the public side, $40,000 is planned to be made available by the City of Mound through the Community Development Block Grant program. These monies will become available in July of this year. Equally necessary is a source of private funds to be combined with the public monies to help finance as many projects as possible. A figure of $250,000 has been suggested (allowing about 25 $10,000 projects). A commitment must be sought from a local lending institution, and application procedures and criteria set up to rank and approve loan requests. Development of the loan routine can be funded out of remaining CDBG planning funds. Timetable: March - October 1982 Responsibility: Downtown Advisory Committee Coordination: Important linkages must be made-in at least three areas. First, continue close cooperation with the City Council and City Manager~to facilitate their support and the use of public resources to underwrite program activities. Secondly, as'.the owners and occupants of downtown buildings are the group signularly most affected by this program, it is important that the DAC establish a close working relationship with them through existing or new organizations (e.g. Retail Council). Building owners and occupants should Objective IIA Specific Actions: Resources Needed: be appraised of the program activities and asked for input. Finally, meetings and negotiations with local lenders interested in providing needed private funding will be crucial. The need to i~rove the general appearance of downtown through repainting and landscaping such. as planting plan for planters, trees, shrubs and furniture {including trash receptacles). This objective is closely linked with IB, as significant improvements in appearance (such as repainting) will be achieved by private initiatives. The most significant aspect of this objective centers around a landscaping plan for the downtown streets. This will require hiring pro- fessional assistance to aid in selecting appropriate street plantings and associated furniture, as well as assisting in calculating costs and potential financing techniques to purchase and maintain the improvements. The selection of this designer and/or landscape architect should be combined with selection of a professional under objective IB for store design concepts. This will encourage a unified and cost effective approach to the project. Combine this project with the design portion objective IB, and fund both projects using $4,000 remaining in the DAC planning budget. Actual cost for making these improvements can be paid through a combination of public and private funding sources. Timetable: March - May 1982 Responsibility: Downtown Advisory Committee Coordination: Work closely with two groups. First, the City Council and City Manager, who will be involved in potential financing mechanisms used to implement these plans. Second, downtown Objective IIE Specific Actions: building owners and occupants again must be consulted as they will be the 9roup most affected by these actions. This can be accomplished using the same lines of con~nun~cation set up for objective IB. The need for a downtown informational directory, as well as public toilets, phones and drinking fountains, not located in retail businesses. Include the items desired as part of the speEificati6ns for landscape/streetscape plans under objective 1IA. Resources Needed: The design work will be included under the $4,000 budget set aside for objectives IB and IIA. Funding for the construction of these improvements should be considered as part of a package with landscaping and streetscape improvements. Timetable: March - May 1982 Responsibility: Downtown Advisory Committee Coordination: - City Council and City Manager - Downtown building owners and occupants O~jective IIF The need for Highway signs to identify major community facilities. Specific.Actions: Resources Needed: Timetable: Responsibility: Select the major community facilities'that need signs for identification, and suggest appropriate locations for the signs. City sign shop and personnel plus materials. March - April 1982 DAC or subcommittee thereof. 4 Coordination: Work through City Manauer's office. objective with VI.C. Coordinate this Objective VIC Specific Actions: The need for better signage identifying parking lots. Suggest content and location for signs. Resources Needed: Timetable: City sign shop and personnel plus materials. March - April 1982 Responsibility: DAC or subcommittee thereof. Coordination: Work through City Manager's office. Coordinate this objective with II.F. Objective VIIA The need for a single identity or theme for downtown Mound. Specific Actions: Select an identity or theme for downtown. Resources Needed: Creative thinking on the part of interested individuals and groups. Timetable: Spring, 1982 Responsibility: Coordination: Downtown business community. Work with downtown design group if theme lends itself into incorporation into building renovations, signing, etc. G2OUP -~2: PEDESTRIAN £ROSSINGS Objective VA The need for crosswalks to protect pedestrians. Objective VB The need for a pedestrian signal on County Road 110 at the crosswalk near the Ben Franklin. Specific Actions: Identify specific locations for the proposed crossWalks, and obtain a~val for placement with Henne~in County. If pedestrian signal is to be requested, identify ~ype,' location and funding arrangements. Resources Needed: Data on pedestrian movements and input from the City Engineer. Timetable: Spring 1982 Responsibility: DAC or sub con~nittee thereof. Coordination: Work with City Staff and obtain input from affected groups, including downtown businesses and nearby property owners. 6 GROUP ~3' PARKING IMPROVEMENTS Objective VIA The need for better lighting in parking lots. Objective VIB Specific Actions: Resources Needed: The need to improve the parking behind the Mound State Bank. Identify the locations where lights are to be installed, and specify costs and a means of funding. Develop. plan to improve the parking area behind Mound State Bank. Input on lighting and designing from City Engineer. Timetable: Sunnier 1982 Responsibility: DAC Coordination: Residents of CBD Parking Program assessment area, City Council and City Manager. BE(}UP ~4: LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Objective VIIB Objective XA Th~ need to seek other businesses ~or Mound and promote locations in the City. The need for a public .marina behind the Post Office. Objective XB. Objective XC The need to encourage new businesses to locate along Lynwood from Commerc~'~ Belmont. The need for more organized retail shopping facilities to be located on or near the lot by Super Valu in the Existing downtown area. Objective XD The need for a movie theatre, a restaurant serving liquor, and a motel in the downtown, Objective XE Objective XF The need to change the parking lot North of County Road 15 between Minnesota Federal and Belmont to commercial property for development. ,The need to develop area around Lake Langdon for open space/ business uses. Specific Actions: Create a local hot-for-profit development corporation to examine potential development projects, provide incentives for new development, and serve as a conduitfor public funding sources. Resources Needed: Funds for staff work needed to organize and begin project work. Timetable: 1982 Responsibility: DAC, City Council, business leaders. 8 Cc;ordination' Requires active support of community leaders in business, professions, banking, as well as elected officials. GROUP #5' HIGHWAYS 15 AND 110 Objective IVC The need to consider alternative traffic patterns, em- phasizing the use of alternative streets from County Road 15/11D for ingress/egress from shopping. Objective 1VD Objective IVE Reroute County Road 15 so,.as not to deter convenience traffic, but to solve the problems of a north-south street served by an ba~t-west road. ~ ThJ need for street lighting, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and pocket parks along County Road 15 from Commerce Blvd. to Fairview. Recommend at ion: These three objectives a long-range projects involving major investments of time and money. Equally important, they involve intergovernmental ~greements between cities and Hennepin County. The first step in the process is to establish an organizaiton capable of developing realistic highway design alternatives, and coordinate broad-based support. ? The folluwing objectives are proposed for action by the City Staff at the direction of the City ManageF. IA. The Anderson Buildin~ The City is currently investigating alternatives available for freeing up the Anderson Building for an alternative use. The DAC can remain informed as to plans for the renovation or disposition or.the building by the City. IIB. The need 'to fence off the'railroad crossi'ng sijnal building. ~ Request that-a letter be sent to Burlington Northern asking if ~he railroad would be willing to fence or screen the crossing signal building as part of downtown design program. ]IIC. The need for maintenance of downtown improvements by the City.. City Manager has moved on this topic, proposing a person shared 50-50 between the City and the CBD Assessment District land owners. Dis- cussions are.currently underway. IIIA. The need to clean-up the city property west of the Little League Baseball Field. Some clean-up occurred last fall, the job will be completed this spring. Site will be graded level, with considerations.open for some form of new land use. IIIB. The need to encouraqe and plan for the upkeep ~nd maintenance of property and structures and provide for properly screened and enclosed waste disposal facilities. The maintenance and upkeep of structures will be dealt with under objective IB. The clean-up and screening of private storage areas is a function of enforcing existing applicable codes, or the development of new regulations where a need or problem exists. Public waste cans, of an attractive nature, may be posed as an additional solution to this problem under objective IIA. VID. The need for access between the pa.rking lot on County Road 15 and the Super Valu lot across the tracks. Assuming this is only apedestrian crossing, request the city staff to contact the railroad to determine the possibility and cost of providing such a crossing. Pa9e ~ ×IB. The need to study alternative,plans for the Burlington Northern Railroad lracKs. Request the City Manager to keep the DAC informed as the future of railroad service through Mound is discussed. Several of the e~jec~lves are proposed for elimination from consideration at this time. liD. lne need for landscape screening (berms, planters, etc.) between Count~ Road 15 and the parkin9 lot east of Minnesota Federal. Requires approvals from the railroad and modifications to the'lease that make it a difficult, time consuming project at this time. IVA. IVB. The need to take out the stop light at the intersectibn' of Cou8ky Roads 15 and 110. Issue has been pursued to conslusion. The need for the Post Office to develop a plan for the left window drive-in mail drop-off and diagonal parkin9 on the east side of the ~uilding. Post office is seeking to move ~his fall, and such design issues are controlled by 'the Post Office, their design specificatiohs, and location selected. VillA. The need to sell some of the City's lots to assist in downtown development. Receipts from the sale of most City property (which has been secured from the County for public purposes) must be returned to Hennepin County. The feasibility of obtaining revenue from this source is very small. IXA. The need to abandon the Burlington Northern sidin9 from Belmoni~ to the Coast to Coast for pa. ved pa. rkin9 and sto~res. A lease would have to be requested from Buriington Northern, consistent~ with the rate for the currentl~ lease parking lot on County Road 15 ($6,000.00). Given the fact that CDB residents would bear this cost, the cost versus benefit of this idea should be left to them. XIA. The need for elderly housing within the study area. Currently being pursued by the Westonka Senior Citizens group.

Minutes - ~.iound Downtown Advisory Committee - Wed. lqarch 1D, 1982 City Hall 7:30 p.m. Present.. Paul Pond, George Stevens, Frank Weiland, Pete Ward, Oerry Longpre, Dave Willette, Mary Campbell [Donna Quigley and Eon Norstrem had phoned to say they were unable to attend.) Also present: Rob Chelseth, Diane Arneson, David Linnet {from PlanMark (sp?) an architectural and engineering division Of Super yalu; L~lrr~ Weidt ( in the business of rehabili- tating'retail stores ) and his colleagues.Fred Madsen and Steve Posthumus Chelseth distributed a handout on the current status of objectives. Larry Weidt offered that industrial revenue bonds were being used to fund his current project work in Buffalo. Such bonds are a group issue and need to be at least a half million dollars. Pete Ward notices several buildings in town already use cedar shakes. He wondered whether that idea could be expanded on. Weiland thinks there would be lots of ideas around town. If the committee would solicit ideas, people would write them down. Mary Campbell thinks we won't get anything for free. Chelseth knows there are architects who work or reside in the community. Chelseth distributed the draft of a "Request for Proposals" to be used to solict ideas from various designers/architects. He would like to interview applicants along with a sub-committee of the DAC. Also major work needs to be done with local lenders regarding the revolving loan program with reduced interest for retailers. Meetings with store owner, occupants, and members of the retail council will be needed. The streetscaping part of the plan needs a funding scheme. The streetscaping plan, including furniture, trash receptacles, and an informational directory with public restrooms and telephones are included in the Request for Proposals. Chelseth distributed a budget proposal. Pond complimented Chelseth on work, but would like to have handouts ahead of meeting time for review, e~pecially on issues of such magnitude. The proposed budget of $10,245 includes $3,500 in Community Development Block Grant funds; $6,745 in City funds. Rob's staff work for the committee is funded entirely out of these funds. Ward questioned the numbers of hours of work involved. Members questioned how much of a downtown plan $4000 will buy. A rough draft - was the most likely conclusion. Ward said, "I don't even know if we have any takers out there". Willette: "If no one leads, we're gonna end up just where we DAC/2 were a ,year agO". Campbell :. "Retailers are waiting for direction from this comm( tree" Pond;. "If we don't lead, we'll get into another morass like we did with the City council". Stevens moved and Ward seconded a resolution that Rob Chelseth and Paul Pond go before the-City council 'to seek approval for the proposed budget of $10,24.5 for dispersal by the Downtown Advisory Committee as they'see fit". The vote to aPi~rove was unanimous. Ward moved and Campbell seconded a resolution to forward the Action Plan for the revitalization of downtown"Mound to the' City council for approval along with the-budget proposal'.

BUILDING SAFETY WEEK' APRIL 12-16, 1982 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE' OPublic safety is ensured through the proper use of building codes in structures ranging in size from single family homes to multi-storied office complexes. In recognition of the importance of building safety, Minnesota Governor A1Quie has proclaimed April 12 - 16, 1982, Building Safety Week through the state. (name of community) is participating in Building Safety Week by hosting an open house and display for the citizens. The open house will be held at (location) beginning at (time on (day and date). Everyone is welcome. Building code experts will be.on hand to answer questions and explain the value of building code enforcement. "Some people feel intimidated the building code review process," said (name of building official). "We want people to understand our building code is a safety document to make sure the building meets some ~inimal safety requirements." "How many times have we read news articles about fires or disasters in buildings and found it reported that there were some basic deficiencies in the construction of the building?" asked (name of official). "The building code is written in response to events which have occurred, often these events injured people. The building code doesn't solve the problem completely, but it's a good first step." "Building Safety is No Accident" is this year's Building Safety Week theme and is sponsored by the North Star Chapter, International Con- ~erence of Building Officials. The building officials will be demon- strating that family and community protection can be strengthened when good building codes are applied to fire prevention, structural safety, energy conservation and electricial, plumbing and heating installations.~d '10 Sec.

CITY of MOUND 5341 MAYWOOr', MOUND Hatch 17, 1982 TO: FROM: CITY COUNCIL JON ELAM, CITY MANAGER Enclosed is some material regarding a request for the sale of five (5) feet of Lot 1, Block/~Wychwood to Mr. Gary $chleif. Since he seeks to use this footage to build an addition to the south side of his house and it will not conflict with the City's long term interest in eventually rounding off the corner along B~ighton Blvd., the staff recommendation would be that we approve the sale of the five (5) feet with the City retaining all necessary right-of-way and easements along the five (5) feet. JE:fc TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Jon Elam, City Manager Jan Bertrand, Building Official Gary Schleif, 4951 Brighton Boulevard March 15, 1982 I have discussed with Mr. and Mrs. Gary Schleif, the owner of 4951 Brighton Boulevard, the zoning requirements to put an addi- tion on his home. In order for him to build the addition on his home on the south side and meet the required 6 foot side yard setback, he is requesting the City sell him an additional five (5) feet of our property. His letter is attached with a bid price of $1OO.OO. Could you have the City Attorney review the possible purchase of the 5 feet from the City owned property? Checking the plat map lot dimensions, Lot 1, Block 38, Wychwood. is approximately 4,880 square feet. The zoning ordinance requires 6,OO0 square feet minimum for a building site. Would it be possible to have Mr. Gary Schlief purchase the entire lot? "Jan Bertrand Building Official JB/ms Attachment 25/82 ETON ILSHIRE BLVD.

The price is $150,O00 with Mr. Widmer giving us $37,500 for our three (3) acre site along Westedge Blvd. This would make our net cost $112,500. In addition, we would have to pay one half of 1982's taxes ($1170.) and install the necessary water and sewer service (estimated cost $5000.). We would also have to connect it up to the electricity. The arrangements would be $5,000 earnest money and $17,000 upon closing May l, 1982. These funds would come from the Building Fund. The remaining $90,500 would be by Contract for Deed payable over five years at 12% interest. It is the staff's recommendation that this is about as low as I am going to get and the trade-off in land for property taxation will be about equal. We will need to correct the zoning on Westedge from R-1 which we recently zoned it, back to Industrial which it always had been previously. I think this was in error and thus can be corrected by rezoning within the law. With a fellow working up an option agreement on the Anderson Building for the April 6th Council Meeting, all this isn't taking place any too soon. JE:fc [ McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. ......

Rd. No. 110 File #6405 Dear Oon: As per your request, we have looked at the alternatives available in furnishing water and sewer service to the existing building owned by Fritz Widmer. The only feasible route is to connect to both the sewer and watermains in Minnetrista. The water connection would De fairly simple and inexpensive since their main is on the east side of the street and stops approximately at the City boundary. The sewer connection is a different story. The sewer main is located on the westerly side of Co. Rd. No. 110 under the new paving. The only way Hennepin County will let us connect is to jack the service through to the existing manhole. We have estimated the cost for the water service at approximately $800.00, and the sewer service at $4,000.00. These costs include bringing both services to within 5 feet of the building. I have talked to Minnetrista's utility department and they seemed receptive, but I am sure this will have to be worked out between the two City Councils. If you need additional information, please contact me. Sincerely, MCCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC.

Dated (SIAl,} INTEROFFICE MEMO FROM: Jon Elam, City Manager Bruce Wold, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Henn. County Dispatch Policy DATE ~rch ]7, 19~42 The Hennepin County Board met on Tuesday, March 16, 1982, and passed, on a 4-3 vote, the draft resolution I sent to you earlier. The. reso- lution calls for: 1. Emergency communications for dependent suburbs at no cost. 2. Administrative communications on a cost basis to each dependent suburb. The county would assist in establishing a minimal cost system to handle administrative calls. 3. The county will assume all cost associated with implementation of the 911 emergency system. I called Phil Eckert, of the county staff, to get a better perspective on time frame and definitions. Phil told me the staff will move as quickly as -possible to define and implement the resolution. He expects to use the input from dependent communities during this process. Phil feels that emergency calls constitute the bulk of calls on the system. This would tend to lead to a definition of emergency as any call for service requiring the dispatch of a police unit. This type of broad definition would cover 75 - 90% of all our radio use. Stay tuned for any other late breaking events. INTEROFFICE MEMO FROM: SUBJECT: Jon Elam, City Manager Chief Bruce Wold Hennepin County Dispatch Policy DATE March 16, 19,§2 Ail the information I can obtain tends to support the '~jority Report" on Hennepin County dispatch policy. That report made it clear that. charges, to suburbs using the Sheriff's radio frequencies should be charged for the service effective January 1, 1983. Attached to this memo is a copy of a County Board Resolution which will in all likelihood, be passed. The essence of the resolution is the county providing all emergency communi- cations at no cost. However, all administrative communication would be on a cost for service basis. I have no firm research to tell me what~ercent- age of all calls for police service in Mound are emergency calls. My gut feeling is that no more than 5% of total police communication, in Mound, is in the emergency category. The estimate offered in the preceeding paragraph is based on my definition of what constitutes an emergency communication. The resolution neither defines nor sets up any group of persons to break down the emergency and administrative calls for service. There is a possibility that emergency conmunications could end up being all calls for police service. If that is the case, the percentage paid for by the County could be as high as 75%. The County Board mandates that this policy be firmly established by June 1, 1982. This should provide adequate time for us to make plans to hold our costs to a minimum. REVISED DiS~,CH ~-'~I[',' '~ -L LLIJI'i!'IL,iJ~, IbIi' (New provisions are underlined) i~: Hennepin County Board of Con~qlSSioners should establish as policy t~at emergency communications and dispatch services, as one of a net- work of necessary public safety radio communications services in suburban Hennepin County, is most appropriate)y a County function and responsibility. (a) Consistent with the responsibility identified in 1, above, and to provide incentives for the consolidation of ex~st~ng dispatch services, the County should offer emergency dispatch services with- out charge (beyond those charges currently assessed on a cost sharing basis for equipment procurement and mainte~¢nce) to municipalities in suburban Hennepin County that wish to'participate in such a network and are willing to pledge or utilize their frequencies on an equal load basis. (b) Individual municipalities should be responsible for the provision and fundin~ of all non-emer~enc? communications. The CountS Admin~ trator should prepare a plan for the transfer of the responsibilit~ for all administrative communications from the Sheriff's radio net- work tR municipalities participating in that network. Cou~t~ staff should provide technical and engineering suP~rt to mu~Cipalitiq~ to enable them to ass~ne this function ~nd to permit the County to ~ov,e'towa~ a 100 percent emerg~ngy communications and dispatch system. In the event that it is not feasible for all municipalities participating in the County radio network to manage their own adminis- trative communications, the Administrator's plan should include pr~- visions for charging municipalities for any such services provided by the County. The AdminiStrator's plan should be presented to the Hennepin County Board by June 1, 1982 to permit Board action and notification of municipalities prior to County and municipal budget deliberations for !983. ~ Ji~paCcn User's Advisory Board sheuld b~ mSLdbllsh~(] Lo mdvise [h: Sheriff on dispatch policies and prucedures and performance asl~ects of the o'spatch center. Such a board should cons~$~ of ,'epresen~a~ives of ~hose municipalities and any nonmunicipal emergency service agencies receiving dispatch services from the County dispatch center. The board should be responsible for (1) developing dispatch policies and procedures that will provide maximum support for local police, fire, and EMS activities; (~) making recon~nendations to the Sheriff regarding the hiring, firing, and performance of the dispatch manager; (3) advising' the Sheriff's Department, other County agencies, and the County Board on matters relating to the enhancement of the County dispatch center. (d) After each suburban municipality has had an opportunity, to determine whether it wishes to participate in the County dispatch network, the User'Advisory Board should begin, in conjunction with the Sheriff's Department and staff of the Information Services Department, to detemine current and future user requirements and begin the planning and design of system enhancements. The need for CAD support should be given special consideration. (el Computer support for independents' dispatch operations should be provided by the County without charge. However, links to independent dispatching would be at the expense of the specific local municipality. This would apply to any municipality or County operations such as Emergency Medical Ser, vice~, if they desire to utilize the network. and Central Computer facility but have their own dispatch console at their location. Hennepin County should provide a subsidy to all mun4cipalities by financin~ all non-recurrihg'911 central ~quipment and installation costs that are not reimbursed by the State of Minnesota. It should also be reaffirmed as policy that Hennepin County will continue to design, install, maintain and manage a public safety radio communications network consisting of towers, antennas, repeaters, voters, base stations, microwave and land lines. Reco(jnlZlng the economic and tecnnical adv~ntJq=,s ,)r L.~llllln(Jn cummunicati()~lS equipment procurement and maintenance, and the excellent exmerience to date of such an arrangement, it is recommended that such an operation continue under County management but with input from participants con- cerning the functional equipment requirements and replacement policy designs. It is the responsibility of the Hennepin County Board to establish and review budgets, set broad County communications and dispatch policies and consider issues which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by the Sheriff's Department and the Users' Advisory Board. The need for reso- lution of any basic County communications or dispatch policy issues should be presented for the County Board's consideration by the County Adminis- trator along with staff analysis, alternatives and reco~end~tions. RESOLJTIC:i The fdilowln9 resolution ,.,,'as offered by BE IT RESOLVED, that the i4ennepin County Board of Commissioners establishes as policy that elaergency con~nunica~ions and dispatch services, as one of a net- work of necessary public safety radio co~mnunications services, is an appropriate County function and responsibility; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in order to fully execute this polic~, the County will~ Offer emergency communications and dispatch services without charge (beyond those charges currently assessee on a cost sharing basis'for equipment procurement and maintenance) to all munici- palities in suburban Hennepin County that wish to participate in such a network and are willing to pledge or utilize their fre- quencies on an equal load basis. .. Require all municipalities participating in the County radio net- work to manage their own administrative communications or reimburse the County for the cost of providing such services. The County Administrator is directed to prepare and present, by June 1, 1982, a plan for the transfer of the responsibility for all municipal administrative communications from the Sheriff's radio network to municipalities participating in that network. In the event that it is not feasible for all municipalities to manage their own administrative communications, the plan shall include pro- visions for charging municipalities for any such services provided by the County. 3. Establish a User.,sAdvisory Board to advise the Sheriff on dis- patch policies and'procedures and performance aspects.of the dispatch center. Such a board will consist of representatives of those municipalities and any nonmunicipal emergency service agencies receiving'dispatch services from the County dispatch center.' The board will be responsible for {1) developing dis- patch policies and procedures that will provide maximum support for local police, .fire and EMS activities; (2) making recom- mendations to the Sheriff regarding the hiring, firing and performance of the dispatch manager; (3) advising the Sheriff's Deparbnent~ other County agencies and the County Board on matters relating tO the enhancement of the County dispatch center. 4. Begin the planning and design of County dispat'ch system enhance- ments after each suburban municipality has had the opportunity to determine whether (t wishes to participate in the Count), dispatch network..This planning and design effort will primarily involve the User's Advisory Board, the Sheriff's Department and the Information Services Department.

During i9~i, new Metr'opoliLan. Waste Control Commission (MWCC) Waste Discharge Rules for the Metropolitan Disposal'System were adopted and sent out to all-Industrial Users, local government · units, and.appropriate state and local agencies.

Draft Industrial Discharge Permits-for each InduStrial User will be sent to munic~palities_fonreview and comment prior to the ~ssuance of the final permit. lhis letter specifically deals with "Waste Transport Haulers", -which a~e defined as "An InOustrial User who transports Indus- tria~ or Domestic Waste fer the p~rposeof discharge into the Metropolitan Disposal System" (Section 6.011Y of the Waste Dis- chaYge Rules). These-Waste 'Transport Haulers are mainly involved in'pumping residential' and commercial septic tank contents for subsequent sewer..disposal. Many of these haulers also pump com- mercial and industrial sumps, pits, sand'and grease traps, ~- well~ and dry~ells,-ho~ding .~ank~, etc.', and this activity Can lead to the.d~scharge of objectionable n~aterials in~o the Metr6~ politan Disposal System~ ~nder ~he new ~ast6 Discharge ~ules, the discharge activities of Waste Transport Haulers will be di- rectly regulated by the MWCC. Industrial Discharge Permit con- ditions and reporting requirements for ~laste Transport Haulers are contained-in the Waste Discharge. Rules. The issue of user charges (Strength Charge) for Waste Transport Haulers Will also be addressed with the new permit system. Current COmmunity regulation of ~aste Transport Hauler activities (if any exists) may continue at the discretion of each local government unit. In order to effectively regulate~ H~aul~s, it is necess.ary for th2 MWCC to designate specific Waste Trans- port Hauler DisF, osal ?oints. Thesc disposal points wi}l be the locations at which permitted Waste Transport Haulers will be allowed to discharge their loaes int~ the sewer system. Several plaints currently in use a~'e kno',-~n to the M'..~CC Indus- trial Waste Secticn. lhese may be designated as approved dis- ?~sal points fn~, ¢onLinued use, and ne;; a~roYed.dis~osal points h~ay be established. It will be necessary ~o establish Page 2 MWCC Regulation of Waste Transport Haulers these disposal points within the boundaries of communities which are served by the MWCC, and by this letter community input regarding this matter is requested. A short Questionnaire is included with this letter, and it is requested that each com~u.nj~'fili' it' out and return ~t to the MWCC Industrial Waste Section. Approved Waste Transport Hauler Disposal Points will not be establis'hed in residential or other sensitive areas, and community approval will be requested before the final disposal points are designated. In many cases, the configuration of the MWCC Interceptor System will affect the disposal point locations.

I am enclosing herewith a copy of an Attorney General's opinion dated March 19, 1974, to the City of Bloomington indicating that such acts are prohibited by Minnesota Statute~ 609.755. In 1978, the legislature adopted Chapter 507 which legalized certain gambling activities consisting of paddle wheels~ tip boards, and raffles. At the time of that legislation, we checked with the Attorney General who informed us that they had not reviewed the law prior to its adoption by the legislature. Since it would be the Attorney General's responsibility to protect its constitutionality, they did not issue an opinion, but privately I believe most municipal and constitutional lawyers would indicate that even paddle wheels, tip boards, and raffles are nnconstitutional under Article VIII, Chapter 5 of the Minnesota Constitution which reads as follows: "Prohibition of Lotteries. The legislature shall not authorize any lottery or the sale of lottery tickets." I am also enclosing a copy of Jim Larson's opinion to Brooklyn Park on June 16, 1981, who as the City's prosecutor indicated that the operation of a roulette wheel and black jack tables by a non-profit group would be gambling, and the organization would be guilty of a misdemeanor. I believe this responds to the question. If you have any additional questions or comments, please call. Very truly yours, Pearson City Attorney CAP:Ih Enclosures P.S. I am enclosing a copy of 609.75 and 609.755, which are the statutory prohibitions against gambling.

The daughter had been drinking and had called him to pick her up. When he had arrived at the appointed place she was not there. He waited 45 minutes and called me to ask for help for he feared she had passed out in a snowbank, or possibly dead or dying. I called the Mound police to ask for their assistance in locating the girl. Not only did the police find my client but they also transported her to the dexification center which enabled her to receive the care she needed. Because of the cooperation, quality assistance and professionalism of the Mounds Police Department that client is now in treatment and on her way to getting well. Because I do not know the specific names of the officers and staff on duty that night, I am asking you to relay my deepest appreciation and respect to· those wonderful people who took the time and energy to be exceptional. JAE:pt Si ncerely, JoAnn Elston Chemical Dependency Counselor HENNEPIN COUNTY an equal opportunity employer March 12, 1982 Mr. David H. Cochran, President Board of Managers Minnehaha Creek Watershed District PO Box 387 Wayzata, MN 55391 Subject: Gray's Bay Outlet Control Structure Dear Mr. Cochran: The City of Orono has reviewed your February 24, 1982 letter including the "preliminary proposal for modification of head waters control structure management policy" concerning certain proposed changes in the operating procedure for the Gray's Bay Dam. The Orono City Council, at its meeting of March 8, 1982, discussed the proposed modifications together with reviewing the documentation provided to us by your engineer. The City of Orono objects to the proposed changes finding that there is not sufficient doc~nented need to justify the radical changes proposed in your letter of February 24, 1982. During 1980 the City did review the temporary modification requested to solve a winter discharge problem authorized under the original operati.ng policy, which caused excessive ice build-up in Minnehaha Creek. The city feels that this is the only justified reason for which a permanent modification to the operation policy should be considered at this time. We are attaching our reconlnended permanent change in the operating procedure that recognizes the need to discharge water in the fall of the year at a greater flow rate and to lower lake levels than was comtemp!ated under the original operating plan adopted in 1978. This proposed plan allows for~a discharge rate of up to 150 CFS maximum at any time after July 31st through March 31st of the following year. The proposed plan also allows a reduction in the lake level at which point no discharge will be allowed, con~nencin§ on August 15th through November 15th, so that the lake. level can be brought down to the low point of 928.6 during November of each year. David H. Cochran -2- March 12, 1982 The City feels that the operational policy should continue to require that as water levels exceed 929.6, the Gray's Bay Dam will discharge at 250 CFS, minimizing the flood potential on Lake Minnetonka. Additionally, when the water level reaches 930.0 the dam should discharge unrestricted with the flood control structure completely open. We see no documented evidence that would justify any modification to the control procedure in these areas at this time. The City of Orono contends that any modification to the discharge levels and flow rates during the period from April 1st through the middle of August as required under the original operational plan, that would · lower lake levels during the summer and early fall would have the potential for adverse environmental impact to the Lake. We see no indications that there has been any consideration given in your recent proposed modification to the adverse affects of low water conditions in Lake Minnetonka. The extreme environmental damage caused by the operation of power boats as well as normal wave action during low water periods is an important environmental concern that should be investigated extensively before any such modifications to the original plan be adopted. Our concerns particularly focus during a year in which drought conditions exist during the summer and fall months. The City of Orono certainly wishes to participate in any such studies that would be undertaken concerning this subject. The City has had very little time to respond to your proposal and we request that any proposed modifications be submitted for our review and imput earlier in the process so that we can continue to participate in the management planning of the Gray's Bay Control Structure. The residents of Lake Minnetonka have made a substantial financial investment in lakeshore properties which has been reflected through extremely high real estate taxes. It is the City's position that the watershed district should do a better job in informing the Lake Minnetonka cities of any proposed changes that may cause a diminution in property values of Lake Minnetonka lakeshore. We plan to be available at your meeting of March 18, 1982 to discuss this matter and are hopeful that our proposal would be accepted by the watershed as a permanent modification to the Gray's Bay Dam Operational Plan. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

The following items were included in the agenda for discussion. 1. Emergenc¥ Communications, Includin~ Police This item was skipped over as Mayor Froberg was not present with a report. 2. Cable T.V. - an update report Mayor Van Nest reported that he had attended the Southshore Cable Commission meeting and it appears that everybody is joining together with Southshore with the exception of the City of Wayzata (they are already out with their R.F.P.) and the City of Mound who is planning on developing a cable program themselves. The Consultant is working with the Cable Commission to realign the boundaries--process to take between 60 and 90 days; but this should not slow them down. The Communities originally put in' $200 each and now have been asked for an extra $100; so the total for each community to date will be $300. 3. New Management Policy of Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Mayor Van Nest reported that he had accidently found out about a new manage- ment policy regarding the lake elevations controlled by the new dam on Grey's Bay which was completed late in 1979. Mayor Van Nest went through an explana- tion of the original standards and standards used for the last two winters on how the dam operates. He 'has developed graphs showing flow discharge. Con- cern is that proposed standards may adversely effect the Lake Minnetonka Com- munities/they want to see more data. The following motion was moved by Rockvam and seconded by Albrecht: "That a resolution be sent from the Mayor's Association to the Water- shed District asking for consideration and review of this matter before it is presented for adoption and allow time for the 14 communities around the lake to get their thoughts together before it goes to the D.N.R. Motion was amended to include the followi, ng: 1) Concern about the new policy of slowing discharges at the high elevation and of the removing of the mandatory 250 cubic foot per second flow; concern about the impact of creating additional flooding condition on lakes that did not exist before; 2) Lowering of the lake down to 929.7 during the summer months and 3) The lack of consideration they gave the Lake Com- munities in their deliberation." L~JL~. t~innetonka Area Mayor's Meeting March 4, 1982 Page 2 The vote on the motion: 8 Ayes, ! Abstain City of Wayzata abstained because not enough known about the subject. Mayor Van Nest urged every community to have a representative at. the 7:30 p.m. March 18th Minnehaha Creek Watershed District meeting at the Wayzata Council Chambers. Metropolitan Waste C~n.~rol Co~ission - Problem of New Rate Structure and Infiltration in System ,~ Mayor Ed Bearg distributed reports of information on each individual community relative to the sewer system and summary of flow analysis. Roy Ode of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission sent representatives Dick Berg and Paul Dietz. Mayor Bearg introduced Mr. Berg and Mr. Dietz and then he reviewed the information on the various reports--key charts were evaluation of waste water flow by community showing the amount paying for per residence and the flow (MGY) by community. Flow goes up in wet years and down in dry years. Dietz stated MWCC tries to use an average year for estimating the MGY. Mr. Dietz gave a short presentation on the wastewater flow determination and on infiltration and inflow; started with general background on the Lake Minnetonka area. Distributed a map showing location of meter stations around the Lake. In terms of wastewater flow determination, Commission has one of the most exten- sive systems in the country. Meters continuously monitor and measure flow; every 15 seconds a signal is sent to the Seneca treatment center from each meter which logs and records what flow is at that meter; meters are calibered, serviced and maintained at least on quarterly basis/at plant, are able to put upper and ' lower limits on meter performance/can be done automatically and when a meter strays out of that area, meter automatically is red flagged and someone sent out to take a look. This gives idea of what each community's flow is. There are some unmetered areas on intercommunity flow areas/these are generally uneconomi- cal or too small to meter or when one community is using another's system, we can't-differentiate so call it one community's/but to correct or compensate for that, we look at the number of connections/type of connections and residential equivalent flow volumes which was on sheet for each community/data is gathered each year from each community and submitted on sewer user's survey and that is how we determine residence equivalent connection flow volume. We consider any- thing over 90,000 per year per resident could be an indication of infiltration/ inflow. Have to look at type of community and type of system each has. In type of system, you look at water tables, impervious soils, how old system is and various things like that. Lake Minnetonka has high potential for infiltration and inflow (I and I); high ground water has potential for surface run off, surface ponding, some impervious soil, piping not old, but not new either. After a significant event, fast snow melt or rainfall, flows go up which is generally an indication of inflow. In- flow more serious than infiltration, small volume compounds to total flow--occurs in short period of time; taxes the capacity of interceptors, capabilities of pump station, meter stations and even the capabilities of the treatment plant which can cause potential backups in the local systems and other problems. That is why we feel it is important to eliminate sources of inflow. In terms of Lake Minnetonka Area Mayor's Meeting March 4, 1~82 - Page 3 infiltration, we feel where ever it is cost effective to reduce the amount, it should be done because it is usually a constant background source related to the water table. We encourage communities to develop on .going maintenance for collection system to protect the huge investment they have in the ground, pro- long the life of it both hydrolytically and structurally by. having it maintained; you can also reduce the I and I and probably save money. Several communities have applied for and qualified for Federal grants for the I and I program. A10rsen, Wayzata City Engineer, reviewed some problem areas they had found-- private sump pumps, roof lead~r~and foundation drains greatly increased inflow. He indicated that there could be 150 homes "illegally" puttlng'storm w~ter and private surface drainage into their flow system and this could be the major part of their I and I problem. Jim Norton, Shorewood City Engineer, found infiltra- tion is 50.2% of the wastewater flow and that Shorewood pays for all the I and I that comes through. Dietz explained they have a 3 man crew walking the lines, looking for problem areas and recently got a grouting machine. MWCC wants to hear of any manhole with pond over it or other problem. Dick Berg had xeroxed pages for the 7 communities of the 1981 estimate, the 1981 actual bill and the 1982 estimate. He reviewed the costs and explained the statement of sewer service charges. Costs are estimated on figures the Cities furnish on the survey completed every year. 1981 was a dry year. If flow is less than estimate, what happens is that there is less gallons to divide by which raises the cost per million gallons. Cost is more if total flow is less than anticipated. Factors that effect billing costs: 1) Flow could be more than was estimated; 2) Total flow could go down; and 3) We could overspend the budget. Report of estimates for years 1983 through 1986 given. Berg reviewed reports on funding sources, construction funds (cash flow), pro- jects for which bonds need to be sold and requirements, budget estimates and cost allocations/are putting most of money into treatment plant; but by year 2000 will have all the debt paid off. Year 1985 will be largest percent of increase because of a balloon payment. Average cost increase for 1983 through 1986 is expected to be-12.9'percent.This is amount communities should budget. It was brought out that 85-90 percent of all costs are fixed; so even if less gallonage is used, the costs may not be decreased. Discussed problems: l) Communities feel that they are overcharged/questioned how costs could be kept down with more ground water, etc. being pumped down- stream, and especially as systems get older; 2) Cities have been told fixing certain things not cost effective; 3) It was questioned whether charging on some other basis than gallonage should be considered .(charging on gallonage may not be best method to base costs if 85-90% is fixed cost); and 4) It was asked why MWCC can't do something about their lines? It was recommended that this item be placed on the next agenda for study and that a meeting be held in May and leave the summer free of meetings. Mayor Olson of Minnetrista thanked the communities for their support on the Landfill Site Project and issued a slight warning that DNR wants to acquire a door to Lake Minnetonka.
