Engineer Norton reviewed his letter addressing sanitary sewer, water and storm drainage. He recommended that the sanitary sewer line remain under private ownership and maintenance, Pierce is in agreement. Planner Nielsen stated that the project meets all the zoning requirements. He felt the attorney should address the appropriate park fund fees to be paid. The fees schedule is within the Subdivision Ordinance and, this request needs no subdivision.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1984 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD 7:00 PM MINUTES CALL TO ORDER The Special meeting of the Shorewood City Council was called to order by Mayor Rascop at 7:00 PM, August 16, 1984. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Rascop and Councilmembers Haugen, Shaw, Stover and Gagne. Staff: Attorney Larson and Clerk Kennelly (Larson was excused at 8:15) WATER POLICY DISCUSSION Councilmembers Stover began the discussion by listing the types of water supplies available, 1. Individual Wells 2. Central Wells 3. Total municipal water system Gagne commented on his concerns of non-payment of assessments that may come from a slump in the building market. Attorney Larson listed various way to ensure payment of specials and operating costs to protect the city financially. This insurance could be obtained through developemnt contracts or letters of credit for portions of the assessments. Developer Robert Mason, conferred with City of Minnetonka's Engineer in referl:::;nceGo suppying water to Shc.iD'VQod from their system. Don Ausmus did not feel that MinnetonKa would supply Shorewood with water unless they had a plan for a water system in effect and that Minnetonka would not expand their system to service Shorewood. ~ . . Gagne felt ~he .If!ol v~ (1~1<? 1 well~ should 1?e .((t~ City water policy, then determlne how to best handle the eXlslihgJ wells. Stover stated, she feels the residents do not want a municipal water system. Haugen ad6ressed the fact that the City has wells, and what are we going to do with them. Without a policy this cannot be determined. Rascop r'elt the operating costs should not be levied to the City residents, the well should become self-sufficient. The larger the watered system the more cost efficient they become. I~ .. . . SPECIAL COUNCIL MINUTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1984 Page Two Council directed questions to developers on building time tables and the effect the past recession had on their building market. Stover presented figures on numbers on connections needed to meet a break even point on central wells for operating and maintenance cost, estimating each well having a $10,000 yearly cost of operation and maintenance. Gagne felt the City should not take the liability on by bonding for water projects, but the developers should be responsible for the total cost. Shaw felt the developer should retain the well until they are at a break-even point. Discussion continued. Stover read her proposed policy statement as a motion, Gagne seconded, for Qlscussion. Haugen requested legal opinion on the statement prior to voting on it. Council recessed to obtain a legal opinion (by phone) from Attorney Larson who no longer was present at the meeting. 8:55-9:05 PM RESOLUTION #51-84 WATER POLICY (Motion to follow as attachment) Rascop felt this motion did not address the existing well expenses. Council directed staff to review all existing Ordinances and Resolu- tions, and Contracts currently in effect, and make a recommendation as how to solve the cost overruns on existing wells. Administrator is to set up an "Assessment Policy" meeting. ADJOURNMENT Shaw moved, seconded by Haugen, to adjourn at 9:20 PM. Motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Sandra L. Kennelly City Clerk . . MAYOR Robert Rascop COUNCI L Jan Haugen Tad Shaw K risti Stover Robert Gagne CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD . SHOREWOOD,MINNESOTA 55331 . (612) 474-3236 MEMO TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Dan Vogt DATE: August 27, 1984 RE: Joint Cooperation Agreement Between Hennepin County and City of Shorewood For Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds The Joint Cooperation Agreement between Hennepin County and the City of Shorewood for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds expires on September 30, 1984. In order for the City to participate in the program for Federal Fiscal Years 1985, 1986, and 1987, passage of a Resolution and execution of the Agreement must take place by September 14, 1984. By opting not to execute the Agreement, the City will be excluded from the Hennepin County CDBG Program for the same period. Since the CDBG Program started in 1975, the City of Shorewood has been budgeted $370,946. for various projects. During the past several years the CDBG Funds have been used for diseased tree removal, rehabilitation of private property, and Comprehensive Plan Implementation (filing system). Although the use of the CDBG Funds are somewhat limited in that they must show direct benefit to low and moderate income persons to remove slums and blight, the program has allowed the City to accomplish tasks that otherwise may have cost additional tax dollars. It is therefore my recommendation to pass the Resolution executing the new Joint Cooperation Agreement, County Contract No. 40455 and authorize the Mayor and myself to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City. DJV:pr A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore 5 /- FINANCE COMMITTEE -- CITY OF SHOREWOOD Charter and By-Laws Purpose The Finance Committee of the City of Shorewood has been created to provide the City Council with input from the community at large on key financial issues.

The Committee will also assume responsibility for studying certain issues as directed by Council and developing recommendations for Council action on such issues. Membership The Finance Committee will consist of 3 to 7 citizens of the community selected on the basis of merit by the City Council and appointed for two-year terms. In addition to this membership, there shall be two ex officio members, one being the Mayor and one being appointed from the remaining City Council members on an annual basis. Ex officio members are non-voting members of the Committee, and their purpose is to serve as liaison between the Committee and the City Council. Any member of the Committee may be removed from office for poor attendance or participation, or for other just cause, by a three- fifths vote of the City Council. The Committee may also recommend to Council removal or replacement of a committee member for such cause by a majority vote of its members. The Finance Committee shall elect a Chairman and a Vice Chairman on an annual basis. All elected officers of the Committee may resign an elected seat voluntarily without losing their appointment to the Committee. Responsibilities Committee members will be expected to attend those portions of City Council meetings dealing with annual budget development and approval, the annual audit report and quarterly reviews by the Finance Director of the financial status of the City. Additionally, Committee members should attend other Council meetings dealing with specific major issues which will have a significant financial impact on the City. ...Continued... , The Finance connn~al~~ncial information at any nd.J.e.L time through the City FiRBnce Director, the City Administrator ~~~ COYR~il Liaison. Committee members will also receive copies of~ .~~. all published City financial documents, including budgets, audit reports, monthly financial statements, etc., as soon as these are available. In addition to attending City Council meetings as specified above, the Committee is expected to meet on its own to review and discuss input obtained from Council meetings and/or financial reports, and to develop and communicate formal recommendations to the City Council. The Finance Committee will also meet separately to develop its recommendations on specific assignments from the City Council. Formal recommendations to the City Council from the Finance Committee will be prepared by the Chairman with input from the Committee, and will be sent to Council after approval of the Committee basis a simple majority vote of Committee members at any meeting when a quorum of members are in attendance. A quorum shall be defined as more than half of the total Committee membership.
