HAPPY NEW YEAR
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY PROPOSED
Lake water quality, wetland and wildlife protection, drainage system upkeep and improvements, erosion and
sediment control, as well as local flood protection are issues of increasing concern. Yet financing related
projects is increasingly more difficult to attain. Like many of our municipal neighbors, the City of
Shorewood is considering a Stormwater Management Ordinance which establishes a Stormwater
Management Utility (SMU) to begin addressing these issues.
A SMU fee would be initiated as a user fee based on a property's contribution to the stormwater drainage
system. Consequently, large parcels of land and those parcels with a lot of impervious surfaces (i.e.
commercial parking lots) will potentially have a higher SMU utility bill. It is anticipated that the average
residential lot will contribute less than $4.00 per quarter to the stormwater management fund through its
City's quarterly utility billing system.
It is important to understand that the City is considering initiating this fund for a number of very good
reasons. A primary reason is to help lower the administrative costs of doing minor repairs and upgrades to
the existing system. Currently, an extensive process of assessing these costs is used for funding smaller
projects, and it sometimes takes as much as an additional 25% in administrative and legal costs to complete.
Establishing the SMU fund will alleviate this unnecessary spending, and allow the Public Works department
to complete the project more expeditiously.
Another reason for establishing the SMU is to provide some funding for individual projects that, while they
have the most benefit for the abutting residents, have some overall public use. An example might be the
addition of an environmental pond to a storm sewer project. Such a pond is generally not needed for the
stormwater drainage in an area, but will help keep Lake Minnetonka or other city lakes clean and therefore
has a benefit to everyone.

METRO WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION INCREASES
IN SEWER RATES FOR 1993
In December, a notice was mailed to each
sewer customer in Shorewood informing them
of a large increase in sewer treatment charges
being imposed by the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission (MWCC). The City was
notified by MWCC that the sewer treatment
charges for 1993 are being increased from
$376,665 to $554,840, a $178,155 increase. This
is a 47% increase over the 1992 MWCC charges
and constitutes about 23% of our total Sewer
Fund budget for 1993. It is among the largest
increases for these services in the Metro area.
In addition, the MWCC has informed the
Council that an increase of 42% of our 1992
MWCC charges (approximately $158,200) is
The City Council is encouraging residents to
likewise voice their displeasure with the increase
to the MWCC by writing or calling the MWCC
officials. The names, addresses and phone
numbers of officials are listed below.
Your support and action at this time is crucial.
With your assistance the City Council's efforts
to avert these exorbitant charges will be
successful.

likely in 1994.
This increase could result in raising residential
sewer rates from $54.75 per quarter to $74.75
per quarter (219.00 to $299.00 annually), a
$20.00 per quarter ($80 annual) increase.
Ms. Gloria Vierling, District Rep.
Phone: 229 -2097
Mr. Gordon Voss, Executive Director
Phone: 229 -2099
The MWCC states that this is primarily due to
a higher than normal flow of non - sewage water
that is entering the sewer system. Because the
City of Shorewood has one of the more difficult
sewer systems in the Metro area to meter, a
large percentage of this flow is estimated by the
MWCC. According to a MWCC official,.
Shorewood's sewage flow is based more on
estimates than any other Metro area
community. Their estimates and studies to date
have indicated that there is a "mystery" sewage
system inflow within Shorewood. The MWCC
has related this "alleged" increase in sewage
system flow with high water levels on Lake
Minnetonka and increasing annual rainfall
levels. However, their studies have indicated
that areas around the lake in Shorewood are
not experiencing high leakage into the system.
The City Council is not satisfied with the
MWCC's explanation for these charges and is
challenging the increase. The Council is asking
for a better explanation of the reasons for the
increase, and for a fairer method of distributing
the sewage treatment charges across the entire
MWCC system.

AFTER -HOURS DROP -OFF SLOT
ADDED AT CITY HALL
After many years and dozens of requests, an after -
hours drop -off slot has been added at City Hall.
Residents may now drop off their utility payments
and other correspondence at City Hall when the
office is closed via the new slot.
The slot is located on the outside wall of City
Hall to the left of the entrance door. Materials
deposited overnight will be removed at the
beginning of each business day.
RECYCLE ... AND WIN $25.00
Be a winner ... It pays to recycle. Each week an
address is selected from our bin. If that address
has their recycling at curbside the day of
collection the resident wins a $25.00 cash re-
cycling award for the week. If the selected
address does not recycle that week - the award
is rolled over and added to the following week
until the city has a winner.
All recycling bins must be curbside by 7:00 a.m.
on Wednesdays (Tuesday on the islands).

The cliche, "one bad apple spoils the whole
bushel" becomes an ominous (recycling to
garbage) truth!
What exactly is contamination in reference to
recycling? For each recyclable product, it may
be a combination of things or even the method
of product preparation. For example, to tin
cans, it may be the food residue and paper
labels .... to glass containers, is it broken glass or
ceramics or window glass ... to cardboard, it may
be the failure to break down the boxes or wax
coated cardboard.
Recyclable materials must meet manufacturers
strict specifications, or the loads are rejected.
Unless it can be cleaned up, unfortunately it is
only garbage.
WHAT CAN BE RECYCLED?
Proper recycling begins with preparation. Items
should be separated into Shorewood recycling
bins and placed roadside at 7:00 am on the
regular recycling day... Wednesdays. (Tuesday on
the island).
• NEWSPAPERS /MAGAZINES /GLOSSY
PAPER....
Newspapers, including shiny inserts, should
be bagged or tied securely. Magazines,
glossy advertisements, inserts in your credit
card bills, shiny brochures, pamphlets and
catalogs are recyclable. Sorry, no telephone
books.
• PLASTIC BOTTLES....
only plastic bottles with necks, such as liquid
laundry detergent, bleach, fabric softener,
water bottles, milk, catsup, syrup, shampoo,
pill bottles, windshield washer, antifreeze,
and etc. are recyclable. Remove lids, rinse,
you do not need to remove labels, flatten if
possible.

SKATING SEASON IS HERE
Three rinks will be in use again this year:
Badger Park, 5745 Country Club Road,
Manor Park, 20630 Manor Road, and
Cathcart Park, 26655 West 62nd Street.
They will all be staffed by rink attendants.
These attendants are required to follow City
regulations so please do as they ask. We
welcome your comments regarding our rinks
and attendants.
Parents... again we are asking for your help.
Please make arrangements ahead of time to
pick up your children at scheduled times. The
telephones in the warming houses are for
emergency use only. The rink attendant will be
busy doing his job, and the telephone is locked
up when he is outside. There is a reason for
this .... in the past some people have taken
advantage of the telephone and made long
distance phone calls, charging them to the City.
Also, please don't take advantage of the rink
attendants as "Babysitters ", they are very busy
because they have two rinks and the warming
house to keep clean and to supervise, plus
various other duties. Thank you for your
cooperation.
FIREPLACE SAFETY TIPS
With the winter season comes the use of wood
stoves and fireplaces. For many of us a fire-
place is a cheering luxury; for others, a primary
source of heat. Here are a few fire safety tips.
• Burn only clean, dry wood - the burning
of any other material, such as garbage,
painted or treated wood is prohibited.
• Never use flammable liquids such as
gasoline near or to kindle or revive a
fire.
• Keep rugs and furniture a safe distance
away.
• Place cooled ashes for disposal in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid.

1993 BUDGET AND TAX LEVY ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL
The City Council adopted the 1993 General Fund, Water, Sewer and Recycling budgets, and 1993 property
tax levy following a public hearing held at their meeting on November 30. Then general Fund budget
reflects a reduction in spending of over $2,000 for 1992.
The 1993 property tax levy increased by 3.7% over 1992. There was no increase in the tax levy from 1991
to 1992. Because of changes made by the State in how the Tax capacity of property is calculated, homes
valued at over $125,000 will pay a lower portion of the total property tax levy while homes valued at under
$125,000 will pay a slightly larger portion of the levy. Most residents should experience a decrease in the
City's portion of their property tax bill.
A historical look at the city's portion of taxes on homestead property of various value is as follows:

Dear Shorewood Residents,
Imagine Shorewood with parks full of happy Little Leaguers, picnicking families, cross country skiers,
gliding ice skaters, and with trails throughout the community. That is the vision the Shorewood Park
Commission has been working on.
That vision has been transformed into a Park Improvement Plan and a Trail Plan. These plans call for
amenities such as picnic areas, playground equipment, shelter buildings, water and sewer and more to
be added to Shorewood's parks and for expansion of trails in Shorewood. A more detailed list of
planned improvements is provided on the reverse side of this letter.
When the plan is accomplished, Shorewood will have completed the improvements to the family area
and more within Freeman Park, improved playground equipment and other park facilities within the
four neighborhood parks, and initiated a system of bike /pedestrian trails within our community. This
plan calls for involvement of civic organizations, sports groups, and businesses. And it also calls for
citizen involvement in the form of voting on a proposed bond referendum.
Nearly two years ago, the Commission held a series of public information meetings. Although citizens
attending the meetings felt that the park improvement plan was a good idea, they said the cost to
citizens was too high. So the Commission returned to the drawing board with the residents' suggestions.
From the initial cost of over $1.7 million, the expenses have been whittled down to approximately
$900,000. With these cost figures in hand, the Park Commission conducted a telephone survey early in
December, 1992. Contacting a random selection of registered voters /property owners in Shorewood,
the Commissioners learned that 59% of those contacted agree with this plan to improve Shorewood's
parks and trails and would support a park bond referendum.
As a result of the Commission's research, and of citizen input, the Park Commission has unanimously
recommended to the City Council that a bond referendum election be held Tuesday, March 9, 1993 to
request the official approval of Shorewood residents to sell bonds to finance park and trail
improvements. The estimated annual impact on Shorewood taxpayers depends on the estimated value
of your property:
Estimated Market Value Tax Increase
$ 100,000 $ 27
$ 150,000 $ 41
$ 200,000 $ 54
$ 300,000 $ 81
We encourage you to learn as much as possible about the proposed improvements. Become an
informed citizen and then make a decision. Whether you approve or disapprove of the proposed
improvements and costs, you are encouraged to vote. Your voice is important.
The following is a summary of improvements to be undertaken as a result of the sale of Park
Referendum bonds:
• Initiate implementation of trail system as identified in Shorewood's trail plan
• Badger Park (City Hall) • Cathcart Park (Church Road & W. 62nd St)
