Haugen commented that a letter was not sent -from the City Administrator requesting to be placed on the Task Force Agenda to inform them of the problems the City has had in the past with the M.W.C.C.

The cost was quoted as $2200.00 plus expenses for preparation time, travel and Workshop time. Council felt that the cost was extremely high. Haugen asked the Administrator if he had consulted GTS on costs of Consultants or facilitators? He did not check with GTS but felt that Mr. Barrett's qualifications warranted the expense. Haugen moved, seconded by Shaw, to offer a limit of $2000. to Mr. Barrett, and if he is not in agreement, contact GTS to make arrangements for a facilitator. Motion carried - 4 ayes - 1 abstain (Stover) Finance Committee Report Stover reported on the completion of the water rate recommendation.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1984 page five COUNCIL REPORTS - continued Drainage Problem - Dan Austin Gagne and Stover were requested by Mr. Austin to come and observe a water drainage problem at his residence at 4860 Rustic Way. Gagne questioned Engineer Norton about diverting the drainage further down the road and routing it through City Property to Lake William. Engineer Norton felt that this "band-aid approach" would only cause another problem. He would only stand behind his original recommendation previously submitted. Gagne asked the Council to inform Mr. Austin whether the City was intending to make the improvement or not. Rascop instructed the Engineer to make another application to the Watershed District for funds to enable the City to correct this drainage problem. C.C.

ROLL CALL Present: Commissioners Benson, Boyd, Leslie and Reese; Council Liaison Jan Haugen Absent: Commissioners Watten, Shaw and Spellman APPROVAL OF MINUTES Reese moved, Leslie seconded, to approve the February 7 Minutes as written. RECONSIDERATION OF SETBACKS FOR RAPID OIL CHANGE Mr. Ed Flaherty of Rapid Oil Change said that the 10% building signage is acceptable if a separate pylon sign would also be allowed. He cited Minnetonka's Ordinance for signs, 15% of each building face not to exceed 300 feet total and 1 pylon per lot. Eden Prairie, Plymouth and Maplewood were also cited. Rapid Oil would like 180 square feet - 1 sign for each building plus 1 pylon. He also indicated that if the pylon was set back 5', the building would block the sign. Mr. Flaherty and Planner Nielsen discussed raising the sign height and leaving the setback as requested. Commissioner Benson mentioned the many discussions involved when the Plan- ing Commission was working on the sign Ordinance. Benson moved, Boyd seconded, to recommend that the Council deny the request for an increase in signage size. Roll Call Vote - Reese-nay, Boyd, Benson and Leslie aye.

(612) 474-3236 MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BRAD NIELSEN DATE: 24 FEBRUARY 1984 RE: SUN HEALTH CENTRE FILE NO. 405 (83.01) Mr. Robert Fisher would like to locate a Sun Health Centre (see enclosed brochure packet) in the office building at 6000 Chaska Road. I informed him that the current R-C zoning and the conditional use permit which was granted restrict use of the property to offices only. In order to have "health centres" included in the District, he would have to request a Zoning Ordinance text amendment. Mr. Fisher takes exception to my interpretation of the Ordinance and feels his business should be considered as an office use. Not wishing to be un- reasonable about the matter I told him we would place him on the Council Agenda for 27 February 1984. He could then explain his position to the five people who make decisions rather than to one person who simply en- forces them. In effect this amounts to an informal appeal similar to the appeal process contained in Section 6 of the Zoning Ordinance, but without a public hearing. I would like to emphasize that my position relative to this matter is not in any way a judgement on the compatibility of the business with office use. Such a judgement would only be offered in a staff report analyzing a formal request to amend the Zoning Ordinance. Obviously if the Council's interpretation is the same as Mr. Fisher's, he would be able to occupy the building immediately. A Residential. Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore ;Jo.-- . . TO: Finance Committee Members FROM: Doug Uhrhammer DATE: February 15, 1984 RE: Formal Recommendation to Council on Water Rates Attached is the draft recommendation on water rates. The inflationary cost increase stated in the memo is from the CPW or the CPI for wage earners. This information was received from the Department of Economic Security as follows: 1980 = 13.5% 1981 = 10.2% 1982 = 6.0% 1983 = 3.0% ~ Total 32.7% Inflationary Increase As stated at our meeting, please review the recommendations and contact either John Bridge or me to state any changes you think should be made in the report. 1 have it scheduled for the Council Agenda of February 27, 1984, so your responses should be made by Wednesday, February 22, 1984. Attachment #1 of the recommendation is the staff report on Municipal Water Rates 1 prepared on December 31, 1983. Thanks. G~ . .

(612) 474-3236 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Finance Committee DATE: February 13, 1984 . RE: Municipal Water Rate Recommendation - Formulated at the February 9, 1984 Finance Committee Meeting with the following member present: Bridge, Frazier, Francen, Bergslien, Absent: Amlaw. By unanimous vote of the member present, the Finance Committee makes the following recommendations to the City Council on Municipal Water Rates: 1) That the water rate be set at $19.50 minimum charge quarterly for a maximum of 13,000 gallons or less of water consumption and $1.00 per 1,000 gallons of water used in excess of 13,000 gallons. 2) That any Shorewood resident connected to an adjoining municipal water system charging a higher rate for water usage than Shorewood does under the rate.~~ ucture defined in #1 above, be charged the higher rate. ~ , That IOW-inc~.~.seniors e charged a rate of $1.00 per 1,000 gallons of water use 'wi minimum billing charge per quarter. Seniors .s defined as ~ years of age or older. Low income is defined by current Section 8 standards as adjusted annually based on total household gross income. Proof of eligibility is determined by providing age documentation, and income eligibility is determined by providing the prior year's household Income Tax Statement (see Exhibit B attached). 'l/' (0V 4) That the recommended rate structure, if accepted, go into effect on April 1, 1984. The Finance Committee justifies the recommended water rates as follows: (For additional information see Exhibit A attached) 1) Water rates have not been adjusted in Shorewood since November 19, 1979. Since that time we have experienced an 32.7"10 inflationary cost increase as determined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The tables below indicate the price increase or decrease for different user groups under the recommended usage rates. A "~.....~4,,..,_..:_' ,..__.~ ,_:..., ,..._ , _1.__ .IJ,.._...._#~_I._I... ,.._ ..~ f""~_...... . Municipal wa. Rate Recommendations February 13, 1984 Page Three 2) The recommended usage rates and pr1c1ng structure assures that Shorewood will collect an amount equal to or exceeding the charges that adjoining cities bill Shorewood for providing Shorewood residents with water. In addition, the pricing structure is designed to stimulate water usage in order to increase total revenue generation. 3) The Committee believes that Shorewood's water rates should not be the highest in the Lake area, but should increase so as to generate revenues needed to cover more of the water funds yearly operating deficit. and 4) The rate structure and usage charge should be sensitive to the needs of the City's Low-Income Seniors. Seniors typically use a relatively small quantity of water compared to other residential users, and if low-income, may not be able to pay the minimum charge requirement. In closing, the Committee recognizes that the rate recommendations represent a reasonable, yet partial solution to the water fund deficit. The complete solution must be addressed by Council, based on the information that has been presented by the State Auditor's Office, the City Auditor, and City Staff. .

Consulting Engineers Land Surveyors February 22, 1984 City of Shorewood 5755 Country Club Road Shorewood, MN 55331 Re: Amesbury Pumphouse Main WIll Pump/Motor Dear City Officials: A problem developed a few weeks ago with the main well pump motor at the Amesbury Pumphouse. The NON-REVERSING RATCHET (NRR) on the top of the motor failed and allowed the pump to start turning backwards. When this happened, the ears on the NRR were worn off, and the ratchet hub cracked in a few places. In addition, the thrust bearing may have been damaged. When Bob Quass noticed the main well pump was making noise, he shut it down, and we called Bergerson-Caswell, Inc., the well pump company. Bob and I met a man from Bergerson-Caswell and a representative from Boustead Electric and Mfg. Co. on-site to inspect the problem. Their initial reaction was an understanding of what happened, but no reason as to why it happened was given. After discussing the problem, the decision was made to remove the motor, and Boustead was to take it to their shop to further inspect it. On February 1, 1984, we received a letter from Boustead stating they still did not know what caused the problem, but after talking to the factory determined it quit working due to normal wear (see attached letter). The repair cost shown in their letter is only for shop costs. About a week later, we received a letter from Bergerson-Caswell, Inc. further discussing the same matter (see attached letter dated February 7, 1984). They concur with Boustead's comments and offered to put the old motor back in service for $2,066.00. Another option they sug- gested was a complete new motor for $2,926.00. That option is further strengthened by the statement at the bottom of the first page of their letter, wIn our opinion, opting for a new motor is far better than repairing the old one.- Throughout this process, Bob and I questioned Bergerson-Caswell about the work they performed on this well pump last summer. That work cost 2021 East Hennepin Avenue . Suite 238 . Minneapolis, Minnesota 55413 · 612/331- 8660 /00- ,,, . . . Page Two City of Shorewood February 22, 1984 nearly $10,000. They stated the work was done on the pump, not on the motor. As a result, the decision on what to do to resolve the current problem and the cost for the same must be made by the City. Taking all the preceding information into consideration, we recommend that Bergerson-Caswell, Inc. be authorized to furnish and install a new motor at the Amesbury pumphouse for a cost of $2,926.00 If you have any questions, please call me. Respectfully, ORR-SCHELEN-MAYERON & ASSOCIATES, INC. J- .p J]$0 James P. Norton, P.E. JPN:nlb Enclosure February 1, 1984 City of Shorewood 5755 Country' Club Road Shorewood, Minnesota 55331 Reference: Mr. Jim Norton Mr. Doug Ulrhammer 75HP U.S. Vertical Model 9400923-H Motor . Attention: Gentlemen: As per our phone conversation regarding the above motor, the type of failure we see here is not a common one. Thi~ is why it is difficult to pin point a cause. The best suggestion so far is th~ one presented by the factory, which said it is possible that the ratchet began to fail, and when it reach~d a c~rtain point, quit due to normal wear. It's the only idea that comes close to making any sense. To repair the unit would require replacing the ratchet assembly. The rest of the pump is in good working condition. Only the ratchet assembly was effected by this breakdown, which is even more uncommon. It would cost approximately $1.100.00 to repair this unit, and get it back into service. You might want to consider replacing the bearings at this time just to be safe. This is. however. up to you as they ::H~~m okay. Additional cost for bearings: Approximately $575.00 We feel confident that the repair made here in ,the shop would put this motor into excellant condition. If you have any further questions. please feel free to call. Yours very truly, BOUSTEAD ELECTRIC & MFG. COMPANY "t. "'.: ... . .' . .'. .... ,. Chuck Beaman, Service Division Manager cc.

As per our discussion on February 6, 1984 Bergerson-Caswell, Inc., makes the following recommendations. We are not motor experts as Bousteads and we agree with them as to cause of failure. To make these repairs is costly and questionable as to the current age of subject motor. To repair this unit would require a new NRR and it is recommended that the upper thrust bearing be replaced to insure it functions properly.

ANY DIPTH . . ~ MINNESOTA CHAPTER ~ American Public Works Association Dear Local Government Leader: What if a major tornado, windstorm, or flood hit your area today? Would you have enough manpower and equipment to cope with such events? Experience has shown that no single organization is able to adequately deal with these situations. To help o"prCGmQ this problem, the Minnesota Chapter of the American ~.!lbU,.~ Works _A~.sQciatiQn......(NPWA)...JJ,!sGQ.ncluded th~...t...-a.._..n~~__"" co-op-efftIve--approach would- be very beneficial t.q !no~Ll<>'f~a,I--government or- ganizattons:--' -', --.----- '-- The solution would be for the government agencies to set up mutual aid assistance groups around the state to provide the basis of aiding each other when such major events occur. Police and fire departments have used similar approaches successfully for many years. Such aid would be done totally on a voluntary basis with no one being required to provide either manpower, ~or equipment to any other organization, unless they cho,p te do ~O. By entering into a JOlnt cooperative agreement now for the use of other or- ganizations, personnel and equipment, you will be prepared for fast action. You would have information already available showing what equipment others own, who to contact (including after working hours), and be able to move at once, without red tape delays. The cost of operating such associations is anticipated to be extremely small. Please review the accompanying model resolution and mutual aid agreement, or give it to the appropriate individual in your organization. I hope that it will explain the proposed approach. If you have any questions, please list them with the tear-off portion of the next page, contact any of the committee members, or.attend the fall meeting of MPWA scheduled for November 17 and 18, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Please do not put off consideration of this idea on the assumption that it would not happen to you, the feeling that others would not actually help with your problem, or that it would not be useful. First-hand experience in my community, as the result of a tornado in 1981, demonstrated very clearly that it can happen to you, others do have resources and a willingness to assist, and being ready and prepared is a tremendous help. ~ . .

As can be seen from the information enclosed, a great deal of information has been compiled over the past several years regarding said policy. It appears from some of the correspondence which exists that Specij11 Assessment Polices have been enacted by past Councils. One such policy relating to storm water appears to have been adopted by Council action on 13 September, 1978 (refer to memo by Jim Norton dated 9/14/78). However, as is evidenced by experience in the past year, the policy has not been adhered to. I have also included Special Assessment Policies in existence in a few other communities. Although the policies may be a few years old, they still contain valuable information relative to Special Assessment Policies in other cities.

In all cases, the Owner-Developer will expend an amount at least equal to the current established policy for the land use involved or provide cash differential to the City of Shorewood based on the gross area. 5. Where undeveloped land has been previously partially assessed, a credit in the amount of the principal paid on that partial assessment will be given. c' 6. No additional credit for storm sewer costs will be allowed except for costs incurred due to pipe oversizing. -3- '" .... p\ t: ~( . c...... . ... {' . . t'.. L .

The following items were discussed at the council Deeting and affect the engineer for the city, OSM.~ne.first discussion is entitled Storm Water Assessment Policy. ~niyht the Council adopted Storm Water Assessment Policy. ~he policy COl1- sists ofdeplicting sub-drainage districts whenever the city is petitioned by people in that district to solve a storm water problem. As result of the poJ.icy tne city has autborized OSii i;o addend and supply more information on the Birch Bluff Boad storm water problera. Also they have directed OSH to prepare. a feasibility report, including the assessment area, for the solution to the storm water problen at Glen Road and COunty Rd. f19. In regards to the Storm Water Assessment Policy, as I understand it now, no additional vorl; will be done by the engineer until the city directs the engineer to prepare a feasibility report for an area where they have received a pet! tion complaining of a storm water problem. After we are directed to prepare the . feasibility report, we will do it on a sub-district basis and show just that property contributing water ~" theproblera area and C0I3e up with an estinated project cost. .-.;also we must come up with an assessment just for that subdrainage ~istrict area that is contributing \~ator to the problem area. With thi. type of a policy it is PQssible, and more than likelY' tIlat eaChsUbdi8t:ric't rev1ewed wi'll have a different a8sessment. Also in my determination now, I would aay that because we will be spreading the assessment over a 8ID8.ller area, i.e. only the area contributing water, the assessments will be substantially higher for those people 80 affected. Once we have prepared one of these and it i8 brought to the Council and goes into. public hearing many of these questions will come up and hopefully be resolved at that time 80 the Storn Water Assessment Policy can be better defined. ~o-.<- p fl~~ James P.

TRlNK SANITARY SEWE.R ANDWATERMAIN ,. Sanitary sewer and watermain trunk lines are delineated schematically on the City's comprehensive trunk sewer and water utility plans. lnaddition to these, other sub-trunk and lateral utility lines are assigned trunk status by the City Council because of difficult construction due to soil conditions, highway, railroad and creek crossings or because of limited assessable area, "lot units or footage for sub-trunk or Jateral benefits. Income from trunk assessments, together with sewer and water user fees, pay bonded debt plus operation and maintenance costs for sewer trunk lines, water trunk mains, the water treatment plant, wells, storage r.eservoirs and appurtenances and administration cos!s. Trunk sewer and water assessments and assessments for lateral benefits from trunk lines are not levied against benefitted parcels until one of the follnwing occurs: a connection permit is issued, a specific lateral project is authorized for the neighborhood, or development and/orsubdivision of the property. The rates prevailing at such time shall apply. U1platted parcels previously assessed for trunk benefits are again reviewed at the time development plans are submitted to assure that the proper acreage total has been assessed. The assessment rate levied in 1972 was $1300 per acre. No properties shall be connected to the Municipal or MWCC sewer and water mains without an agreement to pay appropriate trunk and lateral assess- ments pursuant to this assessment policy, unless such properties have been previously assessed or otherwise paid for the cost of the abutting trunk or lateral mains. 11. AREA COLLECTOR SANITARY SEWER Sanitary sewer 1 ines that provide collector service for a local area, and also may function as a lateral for abutting properties, are defined as area collector lines. These 'ines are assessed to the benefitted lands through either area (net acres) or. lot unit assessments, or a combination thereof. Portions of these area collector 1 ines way qual ifyas City trunk lines as determined by the City Council. Lot units or equivalent residential connections (such as apartment units) are used as the assessment unit in residential areas. Area collector assessments are not levied against platted residential lots or homesteaded parcelS until a connection permit is issued or until a lateral project is authorized for that specifiC area. Deferred interest for such assessment shall not be charged in excess of 50% of the principal amount thereof. 111. SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN LATERALS lateral sewer and watermains are usually smaller diameter (611 and 8" size) lines located on local streets. Service stubs are extended to property lines for each lot or building and a direct connection thereto can be made. I ~teral benefit is the availability of such direct connection. "_H'~f'.--:-,.---'--"'_-~C:-_:"':~__~ - :7~'.- ,-":-,, . - ....~~ ... I .. '., ., v -2- I ,. Developers must construct all util ities (and streets) within their develop- ments. Trunk assessment credits may be given foroversizing provided by the developer for 1 ines which will be incorporated into the City's trunk systems as determined by the City Council. All properties iobe assessed for lateral benefits are broken down into lot units. Platted single family detached residential lots which cannot be reasonably further subdivided are assigned 1 lot unit each. Other properties are assigned the number of lot units determined by multiplying the area in acres,within 200 feet of the right-of-way in which the utility is located,by 2. At time it may be necessary to use front footage or net acres as the assessment unit rather than lot units, .depending upon local conditions in order to help assure equity. For the purpose of eliminating existing pollution or public health hazards and/or alleviating the potential of such hazards from occurring in the iJ future, the Council may at its discretion a-ssistin the financing of the installation of lateral sewer and -water lines in single family detached residential areas. This policy shall apply only to those developed lots for which the building permit was issued on or before June 22, .1971. - Such financial assistance shall be limited to not more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the total lateral cost or $1,000, whichever is less. I v. STORM SEWER Drainage districts defining the assessment limits will be established for each project authorized. These limits will generally follow the natural ridge line or drainage divide. All project costs will be assessed to the benefitted area. - The asses sment rates for s term sewers wi 11 - be computed in proportion to the amount of rainfall or runoff from the properties involved which can be considered a function of land use. The rate for commercial and indus- trial property shall be 3.0 ~ times the rate for single family detached residential. The rate for high density residential, church and school sites shall be 1~ times the single family rate. The rate for medium den- sity residential shall be 1.25 times the single family rate. The rate for open space shall be equal to the single family detached residential rate. Further refinement of these ratios may be necessary depending upon local condi tions. . Additional assessments wili be assigned to property receiving extraordinary benefit from a storm sewer improvement. Credits will be given for storm sewer costs previously assessed or incurred less areas of flood plain or unbuildable soils. Such lands shall not be excluded if they are utilized in density trade-offs. Minor storm sewer projects are minimized by combining such work with sanitary sewer or street improvement projects. , The City may assume responsibility for certain storm sewer improvements which have general benefits to the commu~ity. _.. J' _ -3- . ., ! . ; V. STREET IMPRO VEMENTS The total cost for non-State Aid street improvements, including right-of-way is assessed to abutting properties onaper lot unit basis;n low density residential areas. and on a .per front foot basis ;n nigher<density residen- tail, commercial and industrial areas. for Municipal State Aid streets (MSA) and parkways required by the City, the assessment rates for abutting properties shall be fixed as follows: Single family detached properties shall be charged the rate 'representing the cost of a typical resjdential street. This rate shall be $2,500 per lot, including storm sewer. A 25% credit shall be applied to those lots platted prior to adoption of the City'sCOmpre- hensive Guide Plan.: $25 per foot for unplatted, low density residentiaiproperty $30 per foot for medium density (RM 6.5) residentia'-property $35 per foot for high density (RM 2.5} residential property $40 per foot for comnercial/industrial office property The above 1 i sted rates are for compl ete street improvements, incl udi ng storm sewer and concrete curb and gutter. MSA funds will be used to cover the cost of the improvements in excess of the assessment income. MSA funds will be available ona priority basis only. Staged construction will be allowed on.MSA streets which are not included on the priority list. Developers shall also be required to dedicate all necessary right-of-way for public streets, including MSA streets, parkways and Schooner Blvd. ~~ VI. ASSES9~ENT TERMS AND INTEREST RATES The normal assessment term ~or public improvements is 17 years, however a shorter term may be imposed if the amount of the assessment is less than $250 or if the expected serviceable life of the imorovement is less than 15 yea"rs.' . Developers may submit a 100% petition requesting City installation of off- site improvements. In such cases the term of assessment shall be 5 years at 8% interest. unless otherwise approved by the Council. The titymay require some form of guarantee that the assessment payments will be made without del inquency. . The property owner may at any time prior to certification of the assesS- ment to the County auditor, pay to the City all or any part of the assess- ment prior to November 15th of the year of assessment. See City Resolution No. 1210 for requirements relating to deferment of special assessments for senior citizens. . Spec ial a ssessments are considered "Pending" if the Council has by resol ut ion ordered the improvements. .... """fl." ..... . , ; -4- .' VII. ASSESSMENTS AGAINST RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONAL PROPERTIES ProJ>erties to be asse~sedwhich are. owned by religious institutional organizations shall be cons idered as. follows: A. Trunk sanitary sewer andwatermain Properties to be assessed for trunk benefits, which are owned by religious institutional or- gani'zations, shall be assessed $520 per 4" sewer and 1" water service provided, except that the buildable acreage in excess of 15 acres shall be assessed the per-acre rate. B. Lateral sanitary sewer and watermain One lot unit (REC) per-each 4" sanitary sewer service stub provided. Portions of lateral sewer and water lines crossing such religious institutional property may be declared trunk lines so as to not create a hardship on adjacent residential properties which are included in the lateral project. C. Street Improvements Property abutting the improved street will be char~ed at a per front foot rate or per lot unit ~ate, which is consistent with the rate that is (or would be) charged to single family detached residential proper- ties. Such rate shall not exceed that for a standard 28' wide residential street. D. Stonn Sewer The rate established for medium density residential properties Shall apply. VIII.
