Landini then explained the City contracted with WSB & Associates to do a traffic control sign inventory
and nighttime visibility inspection early in 2011. The City has 1,379 signs in inventory. Of those 851 failed
the nighttime visibility inspection. The meeting packet contains a copy of a map showing where all of the
poor visibility signs are installed in the City. Of the 851 poor visibility signs: 307 are speed limit signs; 43
are stop signs; 79 are weight restriction signs; and, 133 are no parking signs. The FHWA mandate does
exclude no parking signs, but some of the City's no parking signs aren't very visible during the day and
they should be replaced. There is an opportunity to reduce the inventory of signs. State Statute does have a
30 miles - per -hour (mph) speed limit for urban district or town roads in a rural residential district. The 30
mph speed limit doesn't have to be marked; only roads that aren't 30 mph have to be marked. Quite a few
speed limit signs could be removed.
Landini went on to explain the cost to purchase replacement signs for the poorly visible signs is
approximately $34,400. It would cost about $60,000 just to purchase the entire inventory. That does not
include shipping, labor or hardware. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allocates $6,000 annually
for sign maintenance. The CIP budgeted amount would purchase the failing signs within a 6 -year period.
The rule of thumb for replacing a sign (including all of the hardware) is about $200 per sign.

Landini asked Council if it wants to wait until MnDOT accepts the FHWA's date changes before asking
Staff to develop a draft policy for the maintenance method for traffic control signs or does it want Staff to
work on that policy now.
Mayor Lizee stated she thought it prudent to be prepared because the City can't count on when the
compliance dates will be confirmed. She noted she thought replacing the stop signs is most important. She
asked Council if it wanted Staff to prioritize the signs that must be replaced. She asked Engineer Landini
what he thought the repercussions would be if the City didn't comply with the retroreflectivity standards by
the mandated dates. Landini responded that federal officers or police officers will not be checking to see if
signs are in compliance. The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) could decide whether or not it would want
to ensure the City or the LMC could increase the City's insurance rate if it doesn't comply.
Director Brown stated he agreed that the stop signs are the most critical signs to replace. No parking signs
that aren't distinguishable should also be a priority. If signs are that poor the City should be proactive in
replacing them. This law will be enforced by litigation. People can sue over traffic accidents.
Councilmember Woodruff commented that the retroreflectivity standard is his least favorite unfunded
mandate. He stated he is aware of more than one city that is putting this on hold until the FWHA decides
what the rules are. He noted that he didn't want to purchase signs that may not meet the standards. He
suggested putting this on hold for now. He recommended replacing signs that can't be read now.
Councilmember Siakel agreed with putting this on hold for now. She stated if there is a public safety issues
with signs they should be replaced right away. The City can wait to address the retroreflectivity standard
until there is more clarity.
Councilmember Zerby suggested the City have a replacement sign policy independent of the
retroreflectivity standard mandate. He asked Engineer Landini if it was possible to estimate the age of each
sign when the inventory was conducted;. Landini responded the majority of the signs are over 10 years old.
Landini explained the new sign inventory database will include a purchase date for each sign. In response
to a second question from Zerby, Landini explained there is a way to measure the retroreflectivity of each
sign. The CarteGraph software does have a way to estimate the remaining life of a sign using a degradation
curve. The 851 signs that failed the nighttime' visibility inspections will show up as failed in the software.
Landini noted the visibility of the current signs was rated by a 60 -year old person driving around.
Zerby asked if there are obsolete signs up in the City. Engineer Landini responded watch for children and
deaf child signs are more than likely obsolete because children have grown up and moved away. Director
Nielsen noted that in the 1970s the City took down all slow children type signs. If there are any up they
were not put up by the City. Zerby stated based on his experience signs are put up and left there even if
there is no longer a need.
Zerby agreed that traffic control signs are a priority. He noted he does not support taking the 30 mph speed
limit signs down unless they are obsolete. Residents convey they want more speed signs not less. He
suggested any sign policy should factor in age replacement criteria as well as retroreflectivity criteria.
Director Brown clarified that any reference made to signs that are no long distinguishable is about no
parking signs. He noted that he receives around 6 requests per month for additional speed signs.
Mayor Lizee stated it's her understanding Council wants to prioritize the signs for replacement and to wait
on developing a draft policy for the maintenance method for traffic control signs until the FHWA has
finalized its mandates. She recommended keeping the $6000 annual budget for sign maintenance.

Administrator Heck noted Staff knows enough to be able to draft a policy on short notice. He also noted the
replacement signs will have a 10 -year warranty. He expressed his agreement with waiting until the FHWA
has finalized its mandates.
3. 2012 — 2021 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Director DeJong highlighted the draft 2012 — 2021 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). A copy was
included in the meeting packet. The highlights are as follows.
➢ Fund 402 Park Improvements — The focus on this has changed based on previous
discussions. The Park Commission merged its separate project lists (the CIP projects,
maintenance items and wish list items) into this CIP. It includes everything the
Commission has contemplated over the last several years. The projects beyond 2012 are
very speculative in nature. The Commission needs to prioritize the park projects. The 2013
budget includes many projects related to Badger Park for a total cost of $462,000. One of
those items is $245,000 for resurfacing the Badger Park tennis courts. If those were
removed and the Financial Management Plan (FMP) was updated accordingly there would
be approximately $200,000 above the existing funding for park improvements.
➢ Fund 403 Equipment Replacement — It now includes the previous Municipal Buildings and
Technology Funds. The next 10 years of equipment purchases averages about $185,000
per year. The FMP for this Fund reflects that the transfer into the Equipment Replacement
Fund is increased by $15,000 annually starting in 2012 and out through 2018 to fully fund
the equipment needs.
➢ Fund 404 Street Reconstruction Fund and Fund 405 Minnesota State Aid (MSA) Road
Reconstruction Fund — The City has become fully eligible for MSA construction
allocations starting in 2012. All MSA designated roads must connect to another MSA road
in order to be eligible. Eureka Road South is already designated an MSA road. Engineer
Landim calculated that the City has sufficient MSA mileage available to adjust the City's
MSA routes to eliminate Grant Lorenz from the MSA program and add Birch Bluff Road
and Eureka Road North down to Smithtown Road. Doing this allows the Street
Reconstruction Fund to remain solvent with an annual $700,000 transfer into the fund with
a 2 percent inflationary increase starting in 2013. It will allow the City to fully fund the
reconstruction of Eureka Road North and it will only require the City to borrow less than 2
years of its MSA allocation (all of 2020's and little of 2021's) in order to cover that entire
project. It allows the City to fund the general road maintenance items with the existing
fund including the 2 percent inflationary increase. MSA funding can only be used for full
reconstruction; not maintenance.
➢ Fund 406 Trails - This is a new CIP. The Trail Plan recently adopted included a minimal
direct construction cost based on approximately $16 per lineal foot for a 6- foot -wide trail.
After reviewing trail cost projections for neighboring communities they are in the $50 —
$60 per lineal foot range. The CIP reflects that increase. The total trail costs have been
increase from $477,000 to approximately $1.8 million. The Trail FMP reflects an annual
transfer in from the Community Infrastructure Fund starting in 2012. By the end of the 10
years the Community Infrastructure Fund would be in a deficit state. With the exception of
$54,000 in 2012, grants have not been factored into this CIP. That grant is to help fund the
$72,000 cost of constructing 1200 linear feet of paved trail from the LRT Trail on County
Road 19 Tonka Bay /Shorewood border to Smithtown Road.
➢ Fund 601 Water — The Water Fund is tied to the reconstruction of roads to some extent.
The meeting packet contains a copy of a map depicting where all of the watermain in the
City is as well as those roads that are planned for reconstruction over the 10 years. There
are 1420 households connected to City water. There are 272 that could connect to City
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES
November 28, 2011

water. For roads scheduled to be reconstructed that are close to watermain the CIP
includes the costs for extending watermain. The roads scheduled for reconstruction early in
the 10 -year period abut the existing water system. If Council wants to extend watermain
into other areas the Water FMP indicates there will be quite a bit of money available to do
that. The FMP shows there should be approximately $5 million in the Fund in 2021.
➢ Fund 611 Sanitary Sewer — The sewer related projects are pretty basic.
➢ Fund 631 Stormwater Management — The projects included in the CIP are those identified
in the Analysis of Drainage Problem Areas Report produced by WSB & Associates in
2006 as well as projects associated with road reconstruction.
Councilmember Woodruff commented that the last time Council discussed the CIP he asked for additional
information about equipment replacement needs. Council has not been provided with that information. He
stated from a philosophical perspective Council needs to decide if it wants to approve the 2012 CIP this
evening. With regard to equipment replacement, he explained Staff is advocating that projects included in
the CIP at the time of adoption with an estimated cost of less than $100,000 be approved for Staff to
complete as long as the total cost is at or below the amount budgeted for in the CIP. He noted he is a little
troubled by that but is willing to go along with that recommendation. The only replacement item in the
2012 CIP that is above that threshold is the dump truck. He asked Council what it thinks about not seeing
an expense authorization for anything other than the dump truck. He stated he doesn't know why any of the
items in that CIP are recommended for replacement, including the dump truck. He then stated he supports
the MSA reclassification recommendations made by Staff.
Woodruff stated he is astounded by the $1.8 million dollar figure for trails. He then stated that spending
$72,000 for a 400 linear feet of trail in 2012 blows him away. If the City does get a $54,000 grant to help
fund part of the $72,000 cost he is willing to move forward with it. He expressed his unwillingness to
accept anything other that some future discussion about trails.
Councilmember Siakel stated the original discussion about trails was about prioritizing the trail projects.
Her assumption is there would be a lot of discussion about trails projects in the future. She then stated if
the City can get grants to help fund trail projects she thought it important to seriously consider the projects.
Administrator Heck explained the City was going to apply for a grant to help fund the cost of constructing
9500 linear feet of paved trail along Smithtown Road from the city borders of Shorewood and Victoria to
the LRT Trail but that grant opportunity was only for greater Minnesota. He anticipates the City will hear
about its grant application to help fund the $72,000 cost of constructing 1200 linear feet of paved trail
from the LRT Trail on County' Road 19 Tonka Bay /Shorewood border to Smithtown Road in January
2012.
Councilmember Siakel asked how Staff decided on a $100,000 threshold for CIP approved projects so they
would not require additional Council authorization. Director DeJong explained the State Statutes bid limit
is $100,000. If a purchase doesn't require a bid Staff would not necessarily have to get further
authorization from Council.
DeJong stated if Council wants Staff to come back for authorization for each item approved in the CIP he
questioned what the purpose of approving the CIP is. He explained that if Council approves the CIP and
the cost is at or below the amount budgeted for in the CIP Staff would expect that Council delegated some
authority with the approval of the CIP for Staff to move forward with a project or make a purchase. Staff's
intent is to have Council set policy and have Staff implement the policy. That would minimize the amount
of detail Council needs to be involved in. Bringing every thing back for additional authorization generates
more work for Staff. He stated Council can lower the threshold if it wants. He then stated Council can be
provided additional detail on why certain equipment needs to be replaced, noting most of the equipment has

Page 5 of 6
reached the end of its useful life. He noted the City's loader replacement was pushed out a few years
because it was in serviceable condition and it broke beyond repair this summer. More of that type of thing
will begin to happen in the future.
Mayor Lizee stated she thought Staff has submitted a responsible CIP. She noted Council has heard about
the dump truck replacement for a number of years in earlier CIPs. The items in the CIP are not new. She
expressed hope that Council did not want to micromanage the quality Staff the City has. She stated the
purchases are needed to continue to provide the level of service residents expect. With regard to the $1.8
million figure for trails, she stated it's good to have that included in the CIP to show the City is committed
to it. She explained it would be prudent to pursue a safe routes to school grant as well as grants with the
Minnetonka and Westonka School Districts. The results of the recent resident survey should help Council
determine what is important to City's residents and how high of a priority trails /safe sidewalks are to them.
She recommended the money remain as a placeholder in the CIP.
Councilmember Zerby stated that he thought it important to leaA
especially because Council created an Ad Hock Committee to develc

discomfort with that threshold amount. He clarified he doesn't want
reducing the threshold amount to possibly $50,000 or establishing
requiring further Council authorization.

Director DeJong reviewed the major changes made to the preliminary 2012 General Fund Operating Budget
adopted during Council's August 22, 2011, meeting. The part-time web coordinator position was
eliminated. The contract with Community Rec Resources for managing recreation programs will not be
renewed starting 2012. There was a $5000 reduction in the contribution required for the police public

November 28, 2011
Page 6 of 6
safety facility bonds. Those changes save over $78,000. Unfortunately, it still leaves the General Fund with
a budget deficit of approximately $87,400.
DeJong explained during the pre adoption preliminary budget discussion Council and Staff discussed that
with the general under - spending of individual line items it will be entirely possible that the City will end
2012 with a close to balanced budget. The role of the Southshore Community Center coordinator is
undergoing changes. Preliminary changes have been made to allow for higher compensation for the
coordinator due to increased rentals and more hours of compensation. Based on estimates provided by
Administrator Heck he raised the amount from $35,000 to about $60,000. Revenues were increased to
offset that. The SSCC budget includes a transfer in to the SSCC Enterprise Fund from the General Fund of
$13,600 to subsidize SSCC operations. He clarified that is an estimate.
DeJong then explained the Recycling Budget reflects an increase of $0.50 p€
order to try and balance this budget. With regard to the Water Enterprise B
assessment and hookup fees is estimated to be approximately $36,000,
unrealistic.
DeJong stated Staff has tried to put tools in place to lay the foul
2013 budget process.
Councilmember Woodruff stated Director DeJong and Staff ha-,

Mr. Shaw explained there were 4140 toddlers living within the Minnetonka School District area in 2001.
In 2011 there are 2415. The levy MCE receives from the State is based on the number of children living
in the District. It gets $5.42 for each child. He noted the State has not adjusted upward the levy for Early
Childhood Family Education (ECFE) for years. Because of the reduction in levy money MCE has to
change the fee schedule for ECFE. He explained MCE gives out a lot of scholarships to students. He
stated there has also been a reduction in the number of high school age and college age young adults
living in the District. There has been in 20 percent decrease in the population residing in the District over
10 years. In 2001 there were approximately 50,000 residents and in 2011 there are 39,984. The amount of
levy money the MCE receives has decreased about $56,000 since 2001.
Mr. Shaw then explained the MCE's audited budget for last year was $8.5 million. Of that 87.5 percent
was user fees. The remaining 12.5 percent came from levy money from the State. The MCE program is
one of the best community education organizations in the State of Minnesota when it comes to generating
user fees to cover expenses. He stated he thought the residents living in the District have been fortunate to
have had the leadership for the District and MCE they have had.

stated MCE, like the City, is cognizant of the impact the shift in population and demographics have on
funding. The need for creative funding is continually increasing.
Mr. Shaw stated the District currently has an initiative for innovation to identify ways of doing what it
does better. He noted that more than 30 percent of the students attending schools in the District live
outside of the District. That is how the District has been able to survive a 20 percent loss in population.
The District was the first school district in the area to start promoting public education to children living
in other school districts. MCE has started doing an innovation exercise to identify ways to serve the
public better.

Director Nielsen explained the City received a petition from residents living in the Shady Hills
neighborhood asking for certain revisions to the traffic controls in their neighborhood. The Shady Hills
residents believe they are being inconvenienced more than the traffic controls are worth. The Planning
the
Nielsen stated traffic controls were looked into several years ago when the Vine Hill Road intersection
was redone. There were certain traffic controls put in place at the request of the residents in that
neighborhood at that time to attempt to minimize drivers taking a short cut through the neighborhood on
their way to and from the Minnetonka High School.
Nielsen explained staff "'`conducted a cursory traffic volume and speed count using the speed buggy
operated by the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department. That speed test was done once during the
school year and once during the summer months when school was not in session. The results were
reported back to the neighborhood residents during an August Planning Commission meeting. The
residents expressed concern that there may have been "speed buggy intimidation" so staff agreed to redo
the counts using simple traffic counters that go across the road. The concern was drivers may have slowed
down when they saw the speed buggy. The findings were presented during a subsequent Commission
meeting.

Nielsen stated the Planning Commission made a motion recommending the vegetation at the southeast
quadrant where Shady Hills Road meets Brom's Boulevard be cleared back to provide better visibility at
the intersection, installing a no -right turn effective from 7:00 to 8:00 A.M. sign from eastbound Brom's
Boulevard onto Shady Hills Road year round, and removing the no -left turn sign from Shady Hills Road
onto Brom's Boulevard. The Commission also recommended placing the resolution on the consent agenda
for the December 12, 2011, Council meeting. The petition requested physical improvements be made to
Shady Hills Road roadway. The City Engineer recommended assessing for the improvements if they are
made in advance of other improvements planned for that roadway. The consensus of the residents in the
neighborhood was they didn't want to pay for that.
Mayor Lizee stated this issue has been around for quite a while. She noted the meeting packet contains a
great deal of information about this. The Planning Commission has been discussing it for quite some time
and it has solicited a great deal of resident input.
Councilmember Zerby stated he was pleased to have residents take on initiatives like this and he was also
pleased with the work the Planning Commission and Staff did with regard to this issue.
Zerby moved, Siakel seconded, directing Staff to prepare a resolution establishing the revised
turning restrictions as recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion passed 510.
B. Zoning Text Amendment for Dynamic Signs
Director Nielsen stated the Planning Commission has spent a fair amount of time this past year discussing
whether or not it thought the City should allow electronically changeable message signs typically referred
to as dynamic display signs. The new sign that was purchased for the Southshore Community Center
(SSCC) falls into this category. The SSCC's sign is an alpha- numeric dynamic display sign; there are no
graphics on it. The Holiday gas station, is interested in installing a digital display advertising signs.
Nielsen explained the Planning Commission first identifiedd it didn't want to allow graphic displays that
change rapidly. The Commission considered what a lot of other cities' ordinances allow. Some cities
don't allow dynamic display signs. The Commission and Staff have developed a relatively cautious draft
ordinance that would allow that technology to be used while controlling the effects the signs may have on
traffic and neighborhoods.
Nielsen then explained the draft Ordinance included in the meeting packet is the result of the Planning
Commission's study. The Commission held a public hearing on the draft Ordinance during its November
1, 2011, meeting. The Commission recommended Council approve the Ordinance. Towards the end of the
public hearing Mike Cronin, representing the Holiday Stationstores, recommended the Ordinance include
a provision requiring an ambient light sensor. Because that was not included in the Planning
Commission's original motion the Commission made a follow -up motion asking the Council to consider
adding that provision. He noted he provided Council with revised alternative language for including the
provision this evening. The revision changed "sunrise to sunset" to "sunset to sunrise ".
Mayor Lizee thanked the Planning Commission for its efforts.
Mr. Cronin, who was present in the audience, stated he endorsed the Ordinance.
Councilmember Siakel stated the Planning Commission and Staff did a good job. She then stated she
supports the revised alternate language for Section 9(a) and Section 9(b) which includes the provision for
an ambient light sensor. Councilmember Zerby concurred with Siakel's comments.

C. FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE
Applicant: Don and Kiki Gloude
Location: 4675 Fatima Place
Mayor Lizee explained Don and Kiki Gloude, 4675 Fatima Place, have requested a front yard setback
variance. The applicants have met with the Planning Director and the Planning Commission. The
Commission held a public hearing on their request during its November 1, 2011, meeting and it continued
the hearing to its November 15, 2011, meeting. The Commission has recommended the request be denied
on a 4/2 vote. She noted the Commission discussed the request in great detail.
Lizee noted the City put off considering variances for about one year because of changes in State Statutes.
Council approved an ordinance amending the Shorewood Zoning Code as it pertains to the granting of
variances during its November 14, 2011, meeting in order to make the Code consistent those changes.
Lizee asked the Gloudes if they would like to withdraw their request. She explained her reasons for
asking that question. The Planning Commission recommended denying the request because it doesn't
satisfy the criteria for granting a variance. The Commission has made a decision to discuss potential
changes to the Code to address issues as they relate to front yard setback restrictions for residential
districts in January 2012 to assess if the setbacks are still appropriate. There are many older homes in the
City and residents want to update them to satisfy, new needs they have. `If the applicants are willing to
withdraw their application the City will refund their escrow money.

Mr. Gloude explained there is a'' logical sequence of events in building a structure. They have two stories
of structure framing up and roofing material on. They want to tie the framing and roofing material into the
siding. They would prefer not to have to come back in six months to try and piecemeal the roof over the
stoop into the rest of the structure if the Code is amended in a way that would allow them to do that. He
then explained they have received mixed information from the Planning Department. For example, over
one year ago they were told they could build the entry way but it had to be a side entrance. During the
November 15 Planning Commission meeting, Director Nielsen stated that it could be a front entrance.
They designed the entrance to satisfy what they were originally told.
Ms. Gloude explained she has notes from three conversations she had with the Planning Director going
back as far as fourteen months. Her notes say they had to have a side entrance. During the November 15
meeting they were told it didn't have to be a side entrance. During the November 1S Planning
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
November 28, 2011
Page 6 of 17
Commission meeting they found out they didn't need the variance for the stoop they had been told they
needed after months of working on it. She stated they would like a continuous roof and maybe they will
be told they don't need a variance for that now. She then stated they are really confused on how the City
has flip flopped on this. She distributed a sketch of how they would like their roofline to look as well as
what the City says it will allow. If the roof is constructed the way the City will allow people are going to
ask why there is a notch in the roof. She noted they will abide by whatever decision the City decides to
make. She reiterated the two restrictions they had been told were set in stone are now not an issue at all.
She stated they are asking not to have to have a notch in their roofline in order to protect stoop in front of
the entry into their home from snow and ice. It would amount to about two feet of additional roof. She
commented she doesn't know how to respond to the suggestion that they withdraw their variance request.
She stated she doesn't know what it means.
Mr. Gloude stated over the last year they have hired someone to design their reconstruction plans based
on information they received from Brad. He noted the Code states that covered porches are not allowed to
encroach into the front yard setback. He stated their home is over 50 years old, with a 30 -foot setback
with no entry and no ability to recess it. They are able to build an entry onto their home. They are making
the entry into their home handicap accessible for family friends who use a wheelchair. A roof over the
stoop in front of the entry would make it safer.
Councilmember Siakel stated she went to look at the Gloudes' property. She commented that she can
understand why they want to have a continuous roof. The question for Council is how to work with them
to make that happen. She explained she agreed with Mayor Lizee that the Planning Commission has to
take the next step by assessing if the Code needs to be amended to allow things similar to what the
applicants are asking. She stated she likes the suggestion to withdraw the variance application allowing
the Commission the opportunity to decide if a Code amendment should be recommended for
consideration by Council. She asked the Gloudes' if they could wait until spring to finish the roof. Mr.
Gloude responded it would cost more to have a builder tie the additional roof into the rest of the roofline,
to redo some siding and so forth. Siakel stated she didn't think Council could make an exception and
allow this variance request.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he appreciates what the Gloudes want to do. He apologized on behalf of
the City for any confusion the City may have created. He noted he was the council liaison to the
November ISt and November 15 Planning Commission meetings and heard the discussion about this
variance request. He expressed his support for opening up the Code for review, noting the City should be
doing that on a regular basis.
Woodruff asked Attorney Keane and Director Nielsen to explain what benefits there would be to the
applicants for withdrawing their variance application. Director Nielsen explained they would get all of
their escrow money back if they withdraw their request. Attorney Keane noted it's the prerogative of the
Council to refund the application fee with a request for withdrawal. Keane then explained if the variance
request is denied they could not reapply for a similar request until six months has elapsed from the time of
denial.
Councilmember Zerby stated from his vantage point it is silly that the Gloudes can't do what they want
without having a variance request approved. Variance requests come before Council so it can interject
some sensibility into the process. He thought their request is very sensible. He noted the footprint of the
home isn't going to be changed by having a continuous roofline. He also noted that it sounds as if there
have been some communication issues on the part of the City. He stated to him it sounds like Council is
interested in changing the Code to allow this and similar things in the future. He expressed a willingness
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
November 28, 2011
Page 7 of 17
to approve their variance request and then amend the Code. He did not think there would be a backlash
from residents.
Councilmember Hotvet stated she agreed with approving the variance request and then amending the
Code. She stated the notched roof will be more dangerous when entering the house.
Councilmember Siakel stated from her vantage point this is about fairness and not making an exception
for one person and then not another. She stated she thought the most effective way to make sure the
Gloudes can do what they are asking is to make sure the Code is updated. She agrees the restriction is
silly.

Mayor Liz& stated there is a great deal of interest in getting this done. She noted that financial impacts
cannot factor into the variance 'request decision making process. She noted this request doesn't fit the
City's practical difficulty standard for granting a variance. She stated it makes sense for the Gloudes to
want that part of their sidewalk covered by the roof. She again recommended the Gloudes withdraw their
variance application and allow the Planning Commission and Council to work together on this. She noted
she doesn't want to set the precedent of granting a variance just because it makes sense. She commented
that most variance requests make sense. She stated Council has to play by the rules.
Director Nielsen noted if Council doesn't take action on this during this meeting the City will have to
notify the applicants that it is going to take longer than 60 days to complete the consideration of this
application.
Mr. Gloude stated if the Code were to be amended he asked if there would be any cost to them to modify
their permit to include the continuous roof. Director Nielsen stated the permit would be amended at no
cost.

In response to a question from Ms. Gloude, Councilmember Woodruff stated there are two things the
applicant will get if they withdraw their variance application. The first is they will be refunded their
escrow. If the Planning Commission and Council decide to take some type of action on amending the
Code and the applicants are not satisfied with the amendment they could apply for another variance right
away.
Zerby moved, Hotvet seconded, directing Staff to draft a resolution approving the front yard
setback variance for Don and Kiki Gloude, 4675 Fatima Place.
Attorney Keane noted that if the motion on the table fails it does not mean the Gloudes' variance
application has been denied. They can still decide to withdraw their application.
Councilmember Zerby commented that if he were a betting person he would bet the Code will be
amended in a few months which would negate the need for a variance.
Motion failed 2/3 with Liz&, Siakel and Woodruff dissenting.
Mr. Gloude withdrew their variance application.
Councilmember Siakel asked if Staff has created a 2012 draft work program for the Planning
Commission. She stated she thought there is consensus to have a draft plan prepared by the end of the
year. She then stated she wants to make sure the Planning Commission addresses this right away in
January. She asked if any action can be taking by the Planning Commission this month. She then asked
what can be done now to start the process to make sure this is addressed.
Director Nielsen stated the 2012 draft Planning Commission work program will be on its December 6,
2011, meeting agenda. He noted the Commission has directed' Staff to come prepared to discuss a
potential amendment during the Commission's first meeting in January 2012. He stated he did not think

A. Silver Lake Storm Water Sediment Trap Improvement
Engineer Landini explained the storm water outlet located near 5750 Covington Road disperses the
sediment collected by the storm sewer on Covington Road and Old Market Road into Silver Lake. The
project is located across from Silverwood Park. Staff proposes a box culvert with baffles inside be built
underneath the soil there to make the water still so the sediments settle to the bottom before they reach
Silver Lake. Eventually the sediment will have to be vacuumed out as part of routine maintenance.
Landini reviewed other sediment removal devices Staff discussed during the design but ruled out and why
they were ruled out. They are as follows.
➢ A priority vortex device because it wasn't large enough to handle the volume of stormwater.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
November 28, 2011
Page 9 of 17
➢ Infiltration due to the volume of stormwater.
➢ Surface ponding at the site due to neighborhood aesthetics and it would scour the bottom.
➢ An ADS storm water treatment device (a plastic underground tank) due to volume of stormwater
(the largest pipe it can handle is 15 inch and the stormwater management pipe is 30 inch).
➢ Rain gardens due to the volume of stormwater.
➢ Iron sands filter due to the volume of stormwater.
➢ Redirecting the storm sewer through Silverwood Park to an adjacent wetland located to the
southeast due to it requiring a flood insurance study to be done first.
➢ Heating Covington Road and Old Market Road to reduce winter sanding sediment due to the
project scope and expense.
➢ Cistern or reuse storage due to lack of irrigation possibilities.
➢ A screen filter due to volume of water and clogging.
Landini explained the City received three quotes for the project - Machtemes Construction quoted
$102,090.50; G. F. Jedkicki Inc. quoted $96.472; and, the low quoter Parrott Contracting Inc. quoted
$93,290.50. The Stormwater Management Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $40,000 for the
Silver Lake Outlet project and $75,000 for the Covington Road Storm Sewer. The Riley- Purgatory -Bluff
Creek Watershed District has pledged a $40,000 grant contribution towards the project to help minimize
the sediment that flows into Silver Lake.
Mayor Lizee stated it's nice to have a partner on this project. She noted this problem has been plaguing
the City for quite a few years. She thanked Staff for soliciting a lot of resident input.

the equipment to do that. Engineer Landini explained the City has the necessary equipment, but he
doesn't know how often it will have to be cleaned out. Director Brown explained that based on what he
has seen for sediment load he assumes it will have to be vacuumed out once or twice a year. Hotvet asked
if the residents will be notified of the project. Landini responded he will let them know who the project
has been awarded to tomorrow.

B. Petition for City Water
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
November 28, 2011
Page 10 of 17
Engineer Landini explained that at the November 14, 2011, Council work session the City received a
petition from residents near Pleasant Avenue for the extension of watermain. Eight residents from the area
signed the petition. He noted the petition process is governed by Minnesota Statutes § 499 and the City of
Shorewood Code of Ordinances. The petition does not contain enough signatures along any conceivable
watermain extension route to meet the City Code or State Statutes. He explained a loop could be made out
of several different routes to improve the City's water system so if there were a watermain break there
would be another path for water to get to the rest of the City.
Landini reviewed the three options for Council consideration this evening. They are as follows. 1) Defer
consideration of the petition until enough signatures are obtained along the watermain extension routes.
Offer a free room rental at the Southshore Community Center (SSCC) for a neighborhood meeting, and
offer mailing assistance for information distribution and invitations. 2) Order the feasibility study to be
completed by order of the Council with consideration of a water system improvement. 3) Deny the
petition.

Administrator Heck explained that during its November 14, 2011, meeting Council directed Staff to draft

Governor of Minnesota, the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) and Metro Cities requesting their
consideration and support for legislation creating a domestic partner registry.
Councilmember Zerby noted this is something
Zerby moved, Hotvet seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 11 -066 "A Resolution Supporting
Domestic Partnership Registrations" subject to changing "many cities have adopted" to "many
Minnesota cities have adopted ".
Councilmember Woodruff stated that he understood`' Council to ask Staff to draft a resolution requesting
the LMC and the State adopt a similar registry. From his vantage point the language in the resolution goes
beyond that. Therefore, he can't support adopting the resolution. His concerns are as follows. The
statement `the City of Shorewood City Council supports and believes committed domestic partners
should have equal access to employer provided benefits, hospital visitation rights, etc." may or may not
be what the Councilmembers believe. What Council did say is domestic partners should have the ability
to register their partnership. That statement doesn't say that and it goes beyond that. With regard to the
statement "... the City council' of the City of Shorewood that the State of Minnesota move to pass
legislation allowing committee domestic partners to have their relationship legally recognized" he stated
the City's Domestic partnership Registry doesn't say the City is having their relationships legally
recognized. The City is simply registering them and recording the registration. He then stated he doesn't
want the resolution to be sent out with that language in it.
Administrator Heck stated he was assigned the task of drafting a resolution that would essentially convey
to the State that this type of activity belongs at the state level and not at the city level. He then stated he
put in the language "equal access" because Council discussed the registry could provide access similar to
that which married couples have access to. He explained the City's Ordinance as well as many other
cities' ordinances don't make it a legal recognition similar to a civil union. He is not sure it was the intent
of the Council to have the State legally recognize the partnerships. He stated he wanted to sensitive to the
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

different points of view particularly because of the marriage amendment that is being discussed. He was
trying to balance the idea of a domestic partner registration that gives some recognition without implying
that the City of Shorewood supports the legal recognition of same sex marriage.
Mayor Lizee stated she doesn't have a problem with leaving the word legal in the resolution. She asked
Attorney Keane to comment on it.
Attorney Keane stated Council is asking a policy question about a position that Council is communicating
to the State and the public. He noted there are no legalities that affect this Council. Council understands
what is not legal in the State with regard to marital unions. By adopting a Domestic Partnership Registry
Council authorized a statement in it self as to the value of those relationships by registering them at the
local level. He noted it's up to Council to decide on its policy position.
Councilmember Zerby stated he recollected Councilmember Woodruff talking about hospital visitation
rights when the Domestic Partnership Registry was discussed. He asked Woodruff if he was
uncomfortable with that now. Woodruff stated he didn't think it needed to be in there.
Councilmember Woodruff requested the maker of the motion withdraw it and that Staff be asked to revise
the resolution.

23710 State Highway 7 in the Shorewood Village Shopping Center. During that meeting Councilmember
Zerby expressed a concern about the background check conducted. He also expressed concern that some
of the devices that might be sold at the establishment could be similar to items sold at the gas station /
market located in Greenwood along Highway 7. Some people might consider certain devices to be drug
paraphernalia; the City's tobacco ordinance calls them drug related devices. Zerby suggested Council
review the City's tobacco ordinance and decide if it should, or can, be modified to address the sale of
drug paraphernalia in the City.
Heck then explained based on the background infi

Heck went on to explain that some of the tobacco related infractions are administrative in nature. Those
infractions don't show up during a background check because they do not go through the court system. In
the future the application will require the applicants to identify other cities they have or have had licenses
in. The City can then contact those cities to determine if the applicant has had issues in those cities as part
of the background process.
Councilmember Zerby expressed his appreciation to Staff for having done the research on this. He stated
he is willing to approve the license request..
Attorney Keane stated with regard to the paraphernalia devices and definition the city attorneys have
wrestled with that somewhat illusive issue. If there is consensus it is that that they look to the law
enforcement community to help with identifying the rapid changes in devices of conveyance as well as
the products. That environment is changing daily.
Councilmember Zerby stated in the not too distant past there were changes made to state law to address a
certain type of synthetic drug. He thought that was well defined and it was defined in such a way that the
law did not have to be amended to address each new variations. He then stated it would be good to see a
similar law applied to devices that are considered drug paraphernalia. He noted law enforcement
personnel can only consider a device drug paraphernalia if it has drug residue on them or drugs in them.
Zerby moved, Woodruff seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 11 -062 "A Resolution Approving
a License to a Retailer to Sell Tobacco Products for Shorewood Cigars and Tobacco, Inc., 23710

suggested tabling this to a latter date. She stated the meeting packet contains a copy of revised City Code
Chapter 701 Dogs containing a number of changes. She suggested tabling this to a latter date.
Lizee explained the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department ( SLMPD) provides animal control
enforcement to the four SLMPD member cities, of which the City is one. She stated she wants to bring
the topic of dog ordinances and dog registration to the SLMPD Coordinating Committee and ask the
Committee if it will support having SLMPD Community Service Supervisor (CSS) Hohertz and the

Communication Coordinator Moore obtained quotes from a number of sources for conducting the audits.
Moore determined the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will do them for free. The goal is to have at
least one facility done by the end of the year. He then explained that he is going to make revisions to the
GreenStep Cities Program Best Practices document he created based on a requests made by the Planning
Commission. He stated he has been working with the Department of Administration to get additional
buildings added to the benchmarking program. He explained that a number of the web pages on the City's
website have a button that links to the City's GreenStep Cities Program progress page. He noted there is a
South Lake Minnetonka' Police Department Coordinating Committee meeting scheduled for November
29, 2011, but he will not be able to attend because he and Councilmember Hotvet are going to attend an
Innovation Conference.
Director Brown explained that on November 15 there were two watermain breaks near the intersection
of County Road 19 and Glen Road. He stated Building Official Pazandak has been working with
contractors in preparation of the demolition of the house on the City -owned property located at 24620
Smithtown Road. The Excelsior Fire District did use the house for live burn training on November 26

Councilmember Hotvet had asked him to report on the status of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to
incorporate the City's Trail Plan Implementation Report into the Plan. It's out for review and comment by
the adjoining communities and affected agencies. They have 60 days to respond and that 60 -day period
ends on January 10, 2012. After that it will be sent to the Metropolitan (Met) Council for review and
comment. It also has 60 days to provide comments back. He noted he doesn't anticipate the Met Council
will have any issues with it.
Hotvet stated there is a for sale sign in front of the old gas station located at the corner of Smithtown
Road and County Road 19. She asked Director Nielsen to find out information about that property.
Attorney Keane stated that property is located within the Smithtown Crossing redevelopment area so the
City should pay attention to it. Councilmember Zerby stated he heard it was foreclosed on and it is for
sale for slightly less than $700,000. Administrator Heck stated property went to a Sheriff's foreclosure
sale three week ago.
B. Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Siakel stated during the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District's (LMCD) November
16 work session there was a lengthy discussion about aquatic invasive species (AIS) and the future
management of it. The LMCD Board did approve a resolution that looks at a partnership between the
LMCD and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District'(MCWD) to develop a plan for managing AIS going
forward. She indicated she thought the work session was very productive.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he attended the Metro Cities and the League of Minnesota Cities
regional meeting on November' 17 Metro Cities held a short business meeting and voted to adopt the
legislative policies for 2012 as drafted. Metropolitan (Met) Councilmembers Steve Elkins and Wendy
Wulff were present and they discussed what is going on with the Met Council. He found it interesting that
except for Ms. Wulff, who has been on the Met Council for about two years, everyone else is new on the
Council and trying to figure out what they are supposed to be doing. He went on to state if
Councilmembers ever have the opportunity to hear Ramsey County Chief Judge Kathleen Gearin speak
he believes they will find it very informative and very entertaining. She gave a speech during the dinner.
Councilmember Zerby stated he attended the Excelsior Fire District (EFD) Board meeting on November
16 He explained the Board recorded the adoption of the EFD's 2012 budget. The Board also approved
the Engine 22 Replacement Truck' Committee moving forward with the project. Engine 22 is proposed to
be replaced with a tanker / pumper truck and it will cost close to $500,000. The proposed new truck will
be able to carry substantially more water to locations within the District's service area that don't have fire
hydrants. He stated he observed the EFD's live burn training exercise on November 26 done at the City -
owned property located at 24620 Smithtown Road. There were a dozen different controlled burns and
they went off as clockwork. A couple of other departments participated in the exercise. He noted the City
has received many thanks for providing that opportunity.
Mayor Lizee stated she attended the Senior Community Services annual meeting. During the meeting
Tom Gillaspy, the State Demographer, gave a presentation. She noted Mr. Gillaspy explained how
significantly the State's demographics are changing. She stated that budgets, ordinances and services need

2. TRUTH -IN- TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING
A. Staff Presentation
Mayor Lizee stated this evening Council is seeking resident input on the City's 2012 Proposed General
Fund Operating Budget and the 2012 Tax Levy. This is not the forum to discuss the assessor's evaluation
of a property for tax purposes. That took place at the Board of Review, which is generally conducted in the
spring.
Director DeJong stated the there is a legal requirement for the City to hold a Truth -in- Taxation Public
Hearing. The requirements are to present the City's 2012 Proposed General Operating Budget and 2012
Tax Levy and to take public comment.
DeJong explained there are a number of changes affecting the 2012 Budget and ultimately taxes. Revenues
are budgeted to increase '(primarily due to an increase in building permits) and expenses are budgeted to
decrease (primarily due to a reduction in personnel expenditures) when compared to the 2011 Budget. The
proposed 2012 General Fund Budget anticipates the use of $87,000 in General Fund balance reserves to
make revenues and expenditures equal each other.
The City's taxable property value decreased 5.1 percent. That decrease is less than most surrounding
communities. Unfortunately, that means the City will shoulder a larger portion of the property tax burden
for overlapping districts such as Hennepin County. If the property values in the City go down less then
those in other communities the City carries a proportionally larger share of the County tax. That also
applies to the school districts and other metropolitan wide agencies.

There are no levy limits in place for 2012. The City's tax levy has been flat since 2009.
The City's portion of the property taxes pay for a number of services provided by the City. They include
police protection, fire protection, snow plowing, street and parks maintenance, recreation programs,
building inspections, and other valuable City services.
The City's General Fund expenditures have been declining since 2010.The 2012 General Fund budgeted
expenditures total $5,223,830. Of those expenditures 35 percent are for public safety services, 25 percent
are for general government services, 18 percent are for public works, 17 percent are for capital transfers
and 5 percent are for parks and recreation.
The City's General Fund budgeted revenues total $5,223,830. Of those revenues 89 percent are from
property taxes, 3 percent are from General Fund balance reserves, 3 percent are from transfers and
miscellaneous revenues, 2 percent are from licenses and permits, 1 percent is from charges for services, 1
percent is from fines and forfeitures, and 1 percent is from intergovernmental

ied a new property tax program called the
the existing market value homestead credit
(MVHC). The repealed MVHC gave homesteads valued below a certain amount tax relief through a state -
paid credit. The HMVE provides a tax reduction to all homesteads valued below a certain amount by
shifting a portion of the tax burden that would otherwise fall on the homestead to other types of property.
The State was supposed to be paying $261 million State wide for the MVHC. That wasn't happening. The
State only paid approximately $'89 million. Cities, primarily those in the metropolitan area, were not
receiving what they were supposed to. In Hennepin County $65 million in MVHC that should have been
paid to cities in the County did not get paid to them. The HMVE reduces the property value shown on the
property tax statements.,, It generally adds about a 1.5 — 2 percent increase from where the tax should have
been. The HMVE system is very difficult to explain to property owners.
The property value changes in City depend on the location. Lower value properties generally held their
value. Non lakefront property values decreased about 2 percent. Lakefront property values decreased
approximately 11 percent. Before, lakefront properties held their value. The average City tax impact is as
follows. For a property valued at $250,000 in 2011 its value decreased to $221,363 in 2012, and the tax
decreased by $8.64. For a property valued at $419,000 in 2011 its value decreased to $350,664 in 2012,
and the tax decreased by $16.10. For a property valued at $500,000 in 2011 its value decreased to
$474,500 in 2012, and the tax decreased by $0.64. For a property valued at $750,000 in 2011 its value

decreased to $711,750 in 2012, and the tax decreased by $20.15. For a property valued at $1 million in
2011 its value decreased to $949,000 in 2012, and the tax decreased $20.55.
The 2012 property tax distribution for a property in the City located within Minnetonka School District
276 is as follows. The distribution is: 36.6 percent to Hennepin County, 34 percent to the school district,
22 percent to the City, and 7.4 percent to other.
The 2012 total property tax percent change compared to the 2011 total tax for residential homestead
properties in the City based on statistics from the Hennepin County Assessor's Office is as follows.
Approximately 38.4 percent of the parcels (879) will see a decrease or no change. Approximately 54.6

Administrator Heck explained that Communications and Recycling Coordinator Moore recently found out
that the City of Minnetonka conducts a tree sale annually for their residents. The trees are balled and
burlapped; they are not bare root. The trees are sold at their wholesale price which ranges from $31 to $74.
There are 15 varieties to choose from. Minnetonka sells all of the trees it purchases for sale each year
(approximately 1500 of them). The City of Shorewood has an opportunity to participate in the program and
offer this to its residents. If the City participates the City of Minnetonka would manage the distribution of
the trees to Shorewood residents. Shorewood would accept the orders from its residents and pass those
orders on to Minnetonka. Shorewood would have to front the cost of the number of trees it preorders and
recover the dollars upon the sale of trees to residents. There is no net cost to the City.
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES

Heck stated if Council chooses to offer this to residents Staff recommends the City order 100 trees for the
first trial year. He noted there are a number of diseases affecting the various types of trees planted in the
City.
In response to a comment from Councilmember Woodruff, Administrator Heck explained the City would
preorder a certain number of trees of different varieties offered and it would pay for that preorder. The
residents would pay for the trees when they place the order.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he thought this would be a great program to offer residents and he
expressed hope that residents would take advantage of it.
Woodruff moved, authorizing Staff to preorder 100 trees of various varieties for an amount not to
exceed $7400 and directing Staff to work with the local gardeners to offer a program in the spring to
educate residents on how to plant the trees before they are delivered.

MEETING TYPE
Regular Meeting
Policy Consideration: Should Robert and Joan Bauman be granted an after- the -fact permit to place
approximately 900 cubic yards of fill on their property at 26640 Smithtown Road?
Background: The Baumans received a grading permit to place up to 100 cubic yards of fill on their
property. Due to miscommunication between them and the people they got the fill from (City of
Chanhassen) nearly 900 yards of material was brought in. This amount of fill requires a conditional use
permit. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on 6 December to consider an after - the -fact
C.U.P. and on a 6 -0 vote have recommended the C.U.P. subject to the conditions recommended by City
staff. It may be worth noting that no one from the public testified for or against the C.U.P.
Financial or Budget Considerations: The fee paid by the applicants covers the cost of processing the
permit. The applicants have been advised that they are responsible for any street cleaning that may be
necessary as a result of erosion into the street.
Options: Approve the request per the Planning Commission's recommendation; deny the request
and direct the applicants to remove the fill; modify the conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission.
Recommendation / Action Requested: The applicants are probably fortunate that the street
abutting their property has a concrete curb and that neither the curb nor the pavement appears to have
suffered from the work that was done. Staff recommends approval of the C.U.P., resolution to which
effect is attached for your consideration.
Next Steps and Timelines: The erosion control referenced in the staff report should be required to
be in place by 1 March 2012. Over- seeding should occur immediately after snow melt next spring.
Connection to Vision / Mission: Regulation of large scale grading projects contributes to a
healthy environment.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1

RE: Bauman, Robert and Joan — C.U.P. for Fill in Excess of 100 Cubic Yards
(After the Fact)
FILE NO. 405(11.13)
BACKGROUND
Joan and Richard Bauman own the property at 26640 Smithtown Road (see Site Location map -
Exhibit A, attached). In August Mr. Bauman received a permit to bring in 100 cubic yards of fill
to level off portions of the rear yard of the property. Due to some miscommunication between
the applicant and the people from whom he was getting the fill (the City of Chanhassen),
substantially more material (approximately 900 cubic yards) was brought in than what was
authorized. The Baumans explain what happened in their request letter — Exhibit B. As a
consequence, the Baumans were advised that they either had to remove the unauthorized material
or apply for an (after the fact) conditional use permit.
The applicants were required to submit a grading plan showing the contours of the property once
the fill has been graded out. Exhibit C is an as-built survey of the work that has been done. As
can be seen, the property continues to slope and drain to the north. The most significant feature
of the grading plan is the large berm that abuts Marsh Pointe Drive on the east side of the site.
The remainder of the material has been used to level off the property.
The subject property is zoned R -lA, Single - Family Residential and contains 38,889 square feet
of area. The land is bounded on its north by a wetland. None of the fill material has extended
into the wetland.

Memorandum
Re: Bauman C.U.P.
29 November 2011
ANALYSIS /12ECOMMENDATION
The C.U.P. process for fill /grading projects serves several purposes: 1) Heightened scrutiny on
drainage issues; 2) control over traffic patters for trucks hauling fill; and 3) advising local
residents of what can amount to a dramatic change in terrain. Obviously, two of these have been
somewhat subverted by the unauthorized work that was done. What remains is to make sure that
adjoining land has not been adversely affected by the project. '
Staff has inspected the property and found that site drainage does not affect adjoining property.
The land continues to drain north to a small wetland area. Although silt fence has been installed,
the City Engineer advises that it needs to either be trenched in, or anchored in order to prevent
sediment bypass. This should be done before next spring. The applicants mention that lack of
rain has necessitated hand watering the seed they have planted. In one sense, from an erosion
perspective, they have likely been fortunate. The Engineer also recommends over - seeding the
disturbed areas early next spring. Finally, additional erosion control (silt fence, hay bales or
straw biologs) should be placed behind the curb along Marsh Pointe Drive to prevent any erosion
into the street until the turf is better established. The Engineer reminds the applicants that they
are responsible for any erosion and resulting street cleaning that may be necessary next spring.
It appears that the amount of fill placed around the existing trees on the site is somewhat
minimal. Depending on how much compaction may have occurred from site grading, the affect
on the trees may not be seen for a few years.
Finally, staff checked the condition of the pavement and curbing on Marsh Pointe Drive. The
City Engineer maintains a record of the street conditions from year to year and there appears to
have been no damage done from trucks hauling the material to the site.
Subject to the City Engineer's recommendations, including the over- seeding of exposed soil and
additional erosion control, staff recommends approval of the C.U.P.

Bauman— C.U.P. for fill in excess of 100
cubic yards
Date: October 21, 2011
To: City of Shorewood
From: Robert and Joan Bauman
Re: Conditional Use Permit for property at
26640 Smithtown Road, Shoreview, Mn
We are applying for an after the fact Conditional Use
Permit for some fill and grading done at the above address.
The facts leading up to this after the fact application are as
outlined below.
We wanted to bring in some fill to fill some holes on the
West side of the property and then level the land to make it
easier to mow and make it more usable as a recreational
area. We also wanted to fill the East side of the property to
make it level with the street and eliminate a dangerous drop
for mowing.
I spoke with Joe Pazandak and also Brad Nielson to find
out what permits we needed.
I was told we could get a permit for up to 10 truckloads
with just a simple fill and grading permit that we could get
Exhibit B -1
APPLICANTS' REQUEST LETTER
Dated 21 October 2011
within a few days. If we wanted more than 10 truckloads
we would need a Conditional Use Permit which would
require a public hearing and approval by the City Counsel.
That process could take up to 3 months.
We opted for the fill and grading permit and did in fact
receive it.
The City of Chanhassen had some fill they wanted to get
rid of and said we could have all we wanted but they
needed to know that we had the permit from the City of
Shorewood before they would bring any fill in.
I physically took our permit to the City of Chanhassen
public works department and they made a copy for their
records.
They also wanted to know who I talked to at the City of
Shorewood.
The next day they started bringing in fill and also brought
in a Caterpillar tractor and said we were getting more than
10 loads of fill. I said our permit was for only 10 loads and
we needed a Conditional Use Permit for more.
I was lead to believe that they had talked with the City of
Shorewood and everything was OK. They told me not to
worry about it.
M
Because I was dealing with the City of Chanhassen I
thought everything was OK.
I had no idea how much fill they were bringing in.
They scraped back the black dirt with the cat and then put
in the fill and then covered the fill with the black dirt.
I think they did a wonderful job and was sure we had a
win /win situation.
The fill is what they dug out when a waterline broke. It
was too saturated with water to replace in the repair site so
they filled the site with sand and stockpiled the wet dirt to
dry it out.
Then they were hauling the dried dirt considerably south
and paying someone to take it.
I now understand why they wanted to dump all they could
at our place. I am sure it saved them a considerable
amount of money.
We have since planted grass although it is slow starting
because of the lack of rain. We have been hand watering it.
We also have erected a silt fence to control possible run off.
The water still drains in the same direction it did before the
grading.
After the work was done I called Joe Pazandak to come out
for the final inspection.
He said it looked like we had brought in more than 10
truckloads. I said yes but I thought it was all cleared
through you.
He said the City of Shorewood did not know about the
extra fill and he would have to talk to Brad about it.
Brad called me and that is why we are applying for a
Conditional Use Permit as per Brad's instructions.
We are very pleased with the work the City of Chanhassen
did and with our hard work we feel we have turned a
neglected eyesore, which we purchased, into a very
respectable looking property that anyone connected with
the City of Shorewood can be proud of.
Sincerely Submitted
Robert and Joan Bauman

Prepared by: Larry Brown
Reviewed by: Brian Heck, City Administrator
James Landini, City Engineer
Attachments: 1. Report by City Engineer
2. Traffic Study Glencoe Road at Yellowstone Trail, WSB and Associates, Inc.
Policy Consideration: How should the City respond to requests for Multi -way Stop Sign requests or
traffic calming measures, due to concerns of speeding vehicles?
Background: Councilmember Woodruff initially brought this issue to staff's attention in September
2010. Staff reviewed the policy regarding stop sign locations and made recommendation to the City
Council for amendments to that policy. In the spring of 2011, Engineer Landini conducted traffic
counters to collect speed and volume data. This information was presented to the City Council with
staff's recommendation not to install a four -way stop.
Based upon that decision, residents of the area petitioned the City Council to reconsider the issue of a
stop sign, in addition to the issues of speed. On October 10, 2011, the City Council considered the
recommendations and directed staff to assist in providing further analysis on this issue. Furthermore, to
provide recommendation of any traffic calming devices were warranted for this intersection. In
response, staff requested that Mr. Chuck Rickart, Professional Traffic Engineer with WSB and Associates
review the intersection and provide a report. Said report is attached, for the City Council's
consideration. Attachment 2 is the traffic study, prepared by WSB and Associates.
For brevity, the report is a brief and concise and will not be repeated here.
Certainly, it is a difficult issue when residents are concerned about the safety of any roadway or
intersection. The City has a responsibility to respond to address sight distance issues and insure that the
intersection is operating properly. The findings of the report indicate that sight distance needs to be
improved to meet the above objectives.
Similarly, and just is important, is the issue of speed along our roadways. Staff receives numerous calls
and concerns about speed along many of the roadways within the City. This concern is not just confined
to this neighborhood, but is found in every neighborhood. In the engineering community, this issue is
also heard across the entire metropolitan area.
As the City Council may be aware, the State of Minnesota, by means of Minnesota State Statute, has set
the lowest speed limit of any roadway to 30 mph; with the exception that a speed limit may be lowered

management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1
if it is authorized by the Commissioner of Transportation to a lower rate, based upon an engineering
investigation that has been completed by the State and warrants such a change.
In response to the numerous concerns that have been voiced across the Metro, the City Engineering
community is lobbying legislators to review the 30 mph limit and have this lowered. While it is hopeful
that this change may occur, this still boils down to an enforcement issue. This is true if the speed limit is
20 miles per hour or 30 miles per hour.
From the traffic report which recorded all speeds in the area, it does not appear that speeds are in great
excess of the posted limit.
With regard to the traffic calming issue, staff concurs with the findings of the report. The issues brought
to the City Council are local to the intersection and not warranted in this small stretch of roadway.
While this is always a very difficult issue to address, the City Council should also keep in mind that this
issue is experienced in every neighborhood, and not just here. Thus, staff and the City Council need to
be prepared to consider such solutions in a uniform and equitable manner for all the neighborhoods
that this is considered for.
Certainly, engineering solutions such as chicanes, narrowing of the roadway, or placing obstructions to
slow traffic down is always something that may be put in place. However, those types of solutions
should be used very sparingly to address areas where speed has been greatly exceeded. For the
instances recorded here, it appears that improving the sight distance is the best and most cost effective
solution.
Financial or Budget Considerations: Currently there are no funds set aside or budgeted for the
installation of traffic calming measures.
Options:
1. Do nothing
2. Accept the Traffic Report prepared by WSB and Associates and have Public Works clear the areas
documented within the public right of way to improve sight distance.
3. The City Council may provide other direction regarding traffic calming or multi -way stop conditions.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the traffic report prepared by WSB and Associates and
direct Public Works clear the areas documented within the report to improve sight distance at this
intersection.
Next Steps and Timelines:
Public Works will commence with removal of trees within the public right of way, in a timely manner, as
schedule permits.
Connection to Vision / Mission: Such action promotes a safer condition for residents within the area.

Title / Subject: Stop Sign Request on Yellowstone Trail at Glencoe Road
Meeting Date: 5/23/11
Prepared by: James Landini
Reviewed by:
Attachments: Crash Mapping Tool Report, aerial photo
Policy Consideration: None
Background:
The City of Shorewood received a request for a stop sign at the intersection of Yellowstone Trail and
Glencoe Road. Glencoe Road already has stop control.
The City Council adopted a Street Sign Policy on 4/11/11 which listed four conditions for approving sign
placement;
1. Review of the accident data.
2. Review traffic volume and speeds.
3. Review sight lines.
4. Review traffic flow.
According to the MN Crash Mapping analysis tool there were two incidents in the area. Both were
documented as ran off road and not at an intersection.
Traffic counters were placed on 5/9/11 to 5/12/11. The counters indicate an average of 800 cars per day
on Yellowstone Trail and 150 cars per day on Glencoe Road. The 85 percentile speed recorded on
Yellowstone Trail was 29mph and Glencoe Road's 85 percentile was 21mph. Attached are photos of
the intersection to exhibit sight lines.
Financial or Budget Considerations: $300 now plus ongoing maintenance.
Options:
1. Direct staff to deny the request for stop signs on Yellowstone Rd.
2. Direct staff to install stop signs on Yellowstone Rd.
3. Do nothing.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommends Council deny the request for stop signs on Yellowstone Trail since none of the
conditions from Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices are met.
Next Steps and Timelines:

The purpose of this memorandum is to document the steps taken to evaluate the Traffic Study Request for
the possible installation of an all -way stop condition at the intersection of Glencoe Road and Yellowstone
Trail in the city of Shorewood, MN.
L Existing Conditions
The intersection consists of two local residential streets. Refer to Figure 1 for the project location.
Currently there are stop signs controlling northbound and southbound Glencoe Road. Yellowstone Trail
traffic proceeds through the intersection without stopping.
II. Intersection Evaluation
According to the City of Shorewood Street Sign Policy, there are four conditions for approving sign
placement:
1. Review of the accident data
2. Review of traffic volume and speeds
3. Review sight lines
4. Review traffic flow
1. Review of the accident data
According to 2004 through 2010 crash data collected by the City', two accidents were recorded near the
intersection. Both crashes were run -off the road and not related to the intersection.
1 MnCMAT Crash Mapping Database
November 2011
Page 2 of 5
2. Review of traffic volume and speeds
According to the volume and speed data collected by the City between May 9 and May 12, 2011, it was
determined that the daily traffic volume on Yellowstone Trail was 800 vehicles while Glencoe Road had
150 vehicles. Figure 2 displays the average daily traffic volumes approaching the intersection from each
direction.
According to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD), meeting one of the
following conditions may warrant an all -way stop sign installation.
The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of
both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day.
Traffic volumes do not meet this condition.
The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the
minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per day for
the same 8 hours, with an average delay to the minor - street vehicular traffic of at least 30
seconds per vehicle during the highest hour.
Traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle volumes do not meet this condition.
If the 85th percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the
minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above values.
The 85 percentile approach speed on the major street (Yellowstone Trail) was 29 mph.
Collected speed data does not meet this condition.
3. Review of sight lines
A recent site visit was conducted on October 11, 2011 to review the sight lines experienced by drivers at
the intersection. For vehicles on Glencoe Road waiting to turn left, a sight distance of 335 feet is
recommended to enter the traffic flow and not cause vehicles traveling at 30 mph on Yellowstone Trail
to decelerate. Recommended sight distance for vehicles on Glencoe Road waiting to go straight or turn
right is 290 feet. Similarly, vehicles traveling along Yellowstone Trail at 30 mph would need
approximately 200 feet of sight distance to react and stop to avoid a collision at the intersection.
Figures 3 through 6 are photographs taken of the existing sight distance. Figure 3 show insufficient
sight distance for southbound vehicles waiting at a stop sign on Glencoe Road. Looking west, the sight
distance is approximately 115 feet. Figure 4 show sufficient sight distance for southbound vehicles on
Glencoe Road. Looking east, the sight distance is greater than 900 feet. Figures 5 and 6 show
insufficient sight distance for northbound vehicles waiting at a stop sign on Glencoe Road. Looking
west, the sight distance is 115 feet. Looking east, the sight distance is 160 feet. Figure 7 shows
panoramic views from the Glencoe Road stop signs.
2 Speed and traffic data was collected by the City from May 9 through May 12, 2011.
s Based on procedures and values found in "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" (2004) by the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO). These values are for two -lane highways with no median and grades 3 percent or less.
K: \01459- 590\Admin\Docs\Memo \Traffic Study - All -way Stop.doc
November 2011
Page 3 of 5
Vehicles traveling eastbound and westbound on Yellowstone Trail also have less than 200 feet to
decelerate and stop to avoid a collision should a vehicle from Glencoe Road enter the intersection.
Sight obstruction areas, as shown in Figure 8, were created to help visualize the previously described
issues. This figure also includes vehicle locations at the intersection and at private residential driveway
near the intersection. Tree trimming and /or tree removal within the right -of -way would increase the
sight lines to an acceptable distance in the northwest and southwest quadrants. The southeast quadrant
would also need tree trimming and /or tree removal along with regrading of the hill. Some of the work in
the southeast quadrant may be outside of the public right -of -way.
4. Review of traffic flow
Traffic flow along Yellowstone Trail was also reviewed. Yellowstone Trail serves as a main route
through the area and has multiply all -way stop intersections. An all -way stop condition exists at the
Lake Linden Drive intersection, 1,600 feet to the west and at the Grant Street intersection, 900 feet to
the east of the Glencoe Road intersection. These all -way stop intersections interrupt the traffic flow
along Yellowstone Trail producing gaps at side - street stop intersections downstream and discourage cut -
through traffic. Traffic flow patterns through this area are not expected to change overtime.
III. FUTURE CONDITIONS
Future traffic volumes along Yellowstone Trail and Glencoe Road are anticipated to remain relatively
constant. Most of the area is developed and additional cut - through traffic is not anticipated.
IV. TRAFFIC CALMING
Various forms of traffic calming measures may be used in an attempt to slow traffic and /or persuade cut -
through traffic to choose a different route. Successful traffic calming measures consists of three important
components: engineering, education, and enforcement. Since neighborhood traffic studies often reveal that
area residents themselves are contributing to the perceived speeding problem, engineering alone often does
not produce satisfactory results.
A number of changes to roadways can be used to bring about more attentive driving, reduced speeds,
reduced crashes, and greater tendency to yield to pedestrians. These changes can generally be grouped into
three categories. These categories and roadway changes are listed below.
Visual — Traveling at a slower speeds seem more natural
• Reduced Lane Width
• Landscaping (medians, planters, trees, shrubs, etc.)
• On- street Bike Lanes
Physical — Devices that force lower speeds
• Curb Bump -outs
• Speed Bumps and Humps
• Raised Pedestrian Crossings and Refuges Islands
• Roundabouts
Enforcement and Education
• Reducing Speed Limits
• Police Enforcement

Community Meetings
A review of the traffic and speed data collected by the City in May of 2011 revealed that traffic volumes and
speeds along Yellowstone Trail are typical for that of a local roadway. Based on the volume data, traffic on
Yellowstone Trail is relatively low at approximately 800 vehicles per day. From the speed data,
Yellowstone Trail's 85 percentile speed recorded was 29 mph. Yellowstone Trail currently has a posted
speed limit of 30 mph. A review of the recorded crashes in the area revealed only two crashes, both
unrelated to the intersection and both being run off road crashes. Based on these factors, the addition of
traffic calming measures within the study area would not be warranted.
Multi -Way Stop Signs as Traffic Calming Devices
A paper by W. Martin Bretherton Jr., P.E. titled Multi -way Stops - The Research Shows the MUTCD is
Correct! summarizes over 70 technical papers related to multi -way stop signs. The study concentrated on
their use as traffic calming devices and their relative effectiveness in controlling speeds in residential
neighborhoods. A summary is provided below.
Researchers found that multi -way stop signs do not control speed. In analyzing 23 studies related to
multi -way stop signs, five were favorable and 18 were unfavorable toward installing unwarranted all -
way stop signs. All -way stop signs were found to be effective, though, at reducing accidents at
intersections that have sight distance problems and on- street parking. Benefits to control speeds by
installing multi -way stop signs are perceived rather than actual and the costs for the driving public are
far greater than any benefits derived from the installation of the multi -way stop signs. In summary, the
research found that multi -way stop signs do NOT control speed except under very limited conditions.
The research shows that the concerns about unwarranted stop signs are well founded.
Stop signs function best when motorists perceive a convincing reason to come to a complete stop to avoid
possible conflicts such as heavy cross traffic, pedestrians, or a visibility limitation. Stop signs that are
perceived as "nuisance stops" experience a high incidence of intentional violation, thus creating a false
sense of security /safety for pedestrians at the intersection. At those intersections where vehicles do stop, the
speed reduction is effective only in the immediate vicinity of the stop sign and frequently speeds are higher
between intersections to make up for lost time.
V. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the information contained in this document and engineering judgment, the following conclusions
have been drawn:
Only two crashes near the intersection were recorded between 2004 and 2010. Both were unrelated
to the intersection. According to crash data, an all -way stop condition is not warranted at this
intersection.
• According to collected traffic volumes, daily traffic approaching the intersection is relatively low.
Speed data collected did not indicate a speeding issue. Based on volumes and speeds, an all -way
stop condition is not warranted at this intersection.
• The implementation of additional traffic calming measures is not warranted based on collected data
related to volumes, speeds, and crashes. Traffic characteristics through the area seem typical for that
K: \0 1 45 9- 5 90\Admin\Docs\Memo \Traffic Study - All -way Stop.doc
November 2011
Page 5 of 5
of a local roadway. Should the City choose to explore and /or implement additional traffic control
measures, significant improvements to the perceived speeds, volumes, and safety issues would not
be anticipated.
According to field measurements and accepted standards established by AASHTO, current sight
lines for both northbound and southbound drivers waiting at a stop sign on Glencoe Road will need
to be increased in order to maintain the side - street stop condition. At a minimum, tree trimming
and /or tree removal may be necessary in the northwest, southwest, and southeast quadrants. The
southeast quadrant also has a hill that may need to be regraded in order to further increase the sight
lines for northbound Glencoe Road and private driveway vehicles.
A review of the traffic flow along Yellowstone Trail revealed that all -way stop conditions already
exist relatively close to the intersection. These all -way stop conditions provide gaps in the traffic
flow allowing drivers on side - street stop intersections a chance to join or cross the Yellowstone Trail
traffic. Since adequate gaps in traffic already exist, placing an all -way stop condition at Glencoe
Road will inhibit traffic flow, increasing delay to vehicles on Yellowstone Trail. From a traffic flow
standpoint, an all -way stop condition is not warranted at this intersection.
Based on these conclusions, installing an all -way stop condition at the Glencoe Road and Yellowstone Trail
intersection is not the best solution to resolve the perceived safety issues. The recommended solution is to
increase the sight lines at the intersection and maintain the existing side - street stop control. Improving and
maintaining adequate sight lines may involve tree trimming, tree removal, and /or regrading of a hill.

Title / Subject: Draintile Replacements for Strawberry Lane
Meeting Date: December 12, 2011
Prepared by: James Landini
Reviewed by:
Attachments: Quote Tabulation, plat, plan
Policy Consideration:
Background: Staff received 4 quotes for replacement of a failed drain tile pipe on Strawberry Lane.
The failed drain tile has a minimum of 4 pipe failures that have created sink holes. Televising the pipe
indicated the pipe settled enough to trap water and hinder the flow of water leaving the pond in the
rear yards of the plat Strawberry Gardens. The pipe is 12" diameter PVC that is approximately 900 feet
long. Shorewood does have a 20' wide drainage and utility easement over the pipe that was obtained
during the platting process.
Staff requested quotes to replace the pipe using two different construction methods. The first method is
open cut digging and the other is directional drilling to minimize surface disturbance. Staff received two
quotes for open cut digging, one quote for directional drilling and one quote for pipe bursting.
Staff requested a quote to install a conduit from City Hall to the South Shore Center for future fiber optic
connection. Two contractors provided a quote for $11,000 and $13,750. This price will need to be
increased to include access points along the route. This part of the quote does require that those
contractors be awarded the pipe replacement project. I requested this price to save on mobilization
charges. There isn't a return on investment; South Shore Center pays about $50 a month in internet.
Financial or Budget Considerations: The low quote is $30,472.00 and would be a maintenance activity
funded by the Storm water utility fund. The project is not budgeted for. The storm water utility fund
does have a balance to cover the activity and would be eligible for the bonding reimbursement
resolution that was passed in June of 2011.
Options:
1. Direct staff to work with Schneider Excavating, Inc. to replace the failed pipe.
2. Direct staff to work with a different quoter.
3. Do nothing.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends working with Schneider Excavating, Inc. to
replace the failed drain tile pipe.

MEETING TYPE
Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Adoption of the 2012 -2021 Capital Improvement Plan, 2012 Enterprise Budgets, and

Meeting Date: December 12, 2011
Prepared by: Bruce DeJong

Attachment: Resolution
Budget and CIP Summaries
Equipment Purchase Details
Policy Consideration:
Adoption of these budgets will give staff the authorization to expend funds to provide or maintain
service levels to the community.
Background:
The 2012 General Fund Budget and tax levy were adopted, as required by state law, after the Truth -in-
Taxation meeting last Monday. These remaining funds are not required be budgeted, but should be to
ensure that staff is clear on the level of expenditure the City Council is comfortable allowing for each of
these areas in the coming year. The CIP also provides a glimpse at potential spending in various areas
over the next nine years beyond 2012. However, none of the funding scheduled in the CIP for 2013 or
beyond will be committed until after the 2013 budget is adopted.
Each of these budgets has been discussed in some detail at work sessions held throughout the fall.
These budgets represent staffs estimate of what is required to provide the level of service desired in
2012.
Financial or Budget Considerations:
The adoption of these budgets does not limit the City Council's ability to modify spending priorities or
authorizations throughout the year.
Options:
The City Council may choose to:
Adopt the budgets and CIP as presented;
Make additional changes and adopt the amended budgets and CIP;
Do not adopt any budgets or CIP and require staff to present justification and individual
authorization for each expenditure or project.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the budget and CIP resolution as submitted by staff.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership.
Next Steps and Timelines:
The final budget and CIP will be printed and distributed to staff and the public by January, 2012.
Connection to Vision / Mission:
This process contributes to sound financial management by providing financial resources to pay for
desired city services.

Title / Subject: 2011 Audit Services
Meeting Date: December 12, 2011
Prepared by: Bruce DeJong
Reviewed by: Brian Heck
Attachment: Proposal
Engagement Letter
10C
MEETING TYPE
Regular Meeting
Policy Consideration:
The City must be audited annually by a qualified CPA firm as required by state law. The City Council has
the authority to choose which firm provides that service.
Background:
The City Council solicited Requests for Proposals for audit services at the end of 2008 and selected Abdo,
Eick & Meyers, LLP for a three year contract period. The original period is complete and the firm has
performed all contracted service in a capable manner. Abdo, Eick & Meyers, LLP have presented staff
with an engagement letter for the years of 2011, 2012, and 2013 as contemplated in the original bid
process. They have also presented a scope of audit services for 2011 that are the same as those
previously performed. Both documents are attached. The only difference is that the proposed cost for
2011 of $26,625 is up about 2.9% from the $25,872 paid in 2011 for the 2010 audit. This proposal locks
in the same audit rate for the following two years with only modest increases for preparing the Office of
State Auditor annual reporting form.
Financial or Budget Considerations:
The cost of this service was contemplated in preparing the 2012 budget.
Options:
The City Council may choose to:
1. Accept the contract for services with Abdo, Eick & Meyers, LLC as presented; or
2. Reject the proposed contract and seek proposals from other CPA firms.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the proposal for the next three years as submitted.
Next Steps and Timelines:
The audit will be conducted during April and May of 2012 with a presentation to the City Council of the
results in June.
Connection to Vision / Mission:
This process contributes to sound financial management by ensuring proper recording, expending, and
reporting of financial resources used to provide city services.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership.

Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Shorewood
Shorewood, Minnesota
The following sets forth the engagement of our services for the certified audit of the accounts of the City of Shorewood,
Minnesota (the City).
We will audit the financial statements of the City of Shorewood for the years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit will include tests of the
accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express an opinion that the financial statements are
fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements;
therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. We will
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. Because of the concept of reasonable assurance and because we will not
perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that a material misstatement may exist and not be detected by us.
In addition, an audit is not designed to detect errors, fraud, or other illegal acts that are immaterial to the financial statements.
However, we will inform you of any material errors and any fraud that comes to our attention. We will also inform you of any
other illegal acts that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period
covered by our audit and does not extend to matters that might arise during any later periods of which we are not engaged as
auditors.
We will perform the auditing services discussed above for the calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013. If at any time during this
period the Council is dissatisfied with our services for any reason whatsoever, our services may be terminated by so informing us.
Our Firm, however, shall be obligated at your continuing discretion to perform the audit services for the three -year period at the
following fees:
Service 2011 2012 2013
Audit
OSA Reporting Form
Total $ 26,625 $ 26,645 $ 26,660
Our fee includes the City audit, the Management Advisory Letter, and general consulting related to the audit. If the City receives
over $500,000 in Federal expenditures in any one year, a Federal Single Audit will be required, which would be additional fees.
Also, if there is any significant new accounting or auditing standards, there may also be additional fees.

It is our belief that the proposed three -year audit engagement is in the best interest of the City. Our Firm can provide the City with
a fixed three -year fee schedule to facilitate the budgeting process. Further, our ability to provide meaningful assistance through
our Management Advisory Letter will improve with each year of continued audit involvement.
It is the policy of our Firm to issue a Management Advisory Letter. As independent auditors, we are in a position to acquire a
detailed knowledge of client financial and administrative procedures; the Management Advisory Letter serves to summarize our
recommendations toward improving the accounting and administrative controls, strengthening financial structure and developing
a more efficient business operation.
Abdo, Eick & Meyers, LLP recognizes that its most important product is prompt and effective service of the highest quality. We
will serve the City to its complete satisfaction and will apply the highest level of skills available in our firm to that end.

Management, Honorable Mayor, and City Council
City of Shorewood
Shorewood, Minnesota
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide the City of Shorewood (the City) for the year
ended December 31, 2011. We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements of the City
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America
provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management's discussion and analysis (MD &A), to
supplement the City's basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement,
we will apply certain limited procedures to the City's RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an
opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by generally accepted accounting principles and will be
subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management's Discussion and Analysis.
2) Schedule of funding progress for other post employment benefits (if applicable)
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies the City's financial
statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and will
provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole:
1) Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules
The following other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audit of the financial statements, and for which our auditor's report will not provide an opinion or any assurance.
1) Summary Financial Report — Revenues and Expenditures for General Operations — Governmental Funds
The following other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audit of the financial statements, and for which our auditor's report will not provide an opinion or any assurance, though is
required to be presented when a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is issued.

Audit Objective
The objective of our audit is the expression of opinions as to whether your basic financial statements are fairly presented, in all
material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the supplementary
information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Our audit will
be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and will include tests of
the accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. If our opinions on the
financial statements are other than unqualified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable
to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or to issue a report
as a result of this engagement.
Management Responsibilities
Management is responsible for the basic financial statements and all accompanying information as well as all representations
contained therein. We will prepare a general ledger trial balance for use during the audit. Our preparation of the trial balance will
be limited to formatting information in the general ledger into a working trial balance. As part of the audit we will prepare a draft
of your financial statements and related notes. We will also use the financial statements to complete the Office of the State
Auditors' City Reporting Form. You are also responsible for making all management decisions and performing all management
functions; for designating an individual with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience to oversee our assistance with the
preparation of your financial statements and related notes and any other nonattest services we provide; and for evaluating the
adequacy and results of those services and accepting responsibility for them.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls, including monitoring ongoing activities;
for the selection and application of accounting principles; and for the fair presentation in the financial statements of the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City and the respective changes in financial position and
where applicable, cash flows, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management is also responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us and for the accuracy and
completeness of that information. Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material
misstatements and confirming to us in the representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us
during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate,
to the financial statements taken as a whole.
You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us
about all known or suspected fraud or illegal acts affecting the government involving (1) management, (2) employees who have
significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud or illegal acts could have a material effect on the financial
statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting
the government received in communications from employees, former employees, regulators, or others. In addition, you are
responsible for identifying and ensuring that the entity complies with applicable laws and regulations. You are responsible for the
preparation of the supplementary information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. You agree to
include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains and indicates that we have reported on the
supplementary information. You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary
information that includes our report thereon or make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the
supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon.

Audit Procedures — General
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements;
therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. We will
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations
of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of
the entity.
Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we will not perform a detailed
examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an
audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements, or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a
direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and any fraudulent
financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform you of any violations of laws or
governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the
period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, and may include
tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by
correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will request written
representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the
conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters
Audit Procedures — Internal Control
Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit
procedures. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal control.
However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related
matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards.
Audit Procedures — Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will
perform tests of the City's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and agreements.
However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an
opinion.
Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other
We may from time to time, and depending on the circumstances, use third -parry service providers in serving your account. We
may share confidential information about you with these service providers, but remain committed to maintaining the
confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect
the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers
to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have
appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we
are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of
your confidential information with the third -parry service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work
provided by any such third -party service providers.
We understand that your employees will prepare all cash or other confirmations we request and will locate any documents
selected by us for testing.

The fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be
encountered during the engagement. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee
estimate before we incur the additional costs. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are
payable on presentation. Amounts not paid within 30 days from the invoice date will be subject to a late payment charge of 1 percent
per month (12 percent per year). If for any reason the account is turned over to an attorney for collections, additional fees will be added
to cover collections cost. In accordance with our Firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 90 days or more
overdue and will not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement
will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of termination, even if we have not completed your return. You will be
obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all out -of- pocket expenditures through the date of termination.
Except in the event of your failure to make a payment when due, in the event of a dispute related in any way to our services, our Firm
and you agree to discuss the dispute and, if necessary, to promptly mediate in a good faith effort to resolve. We will agree on a mediator,
but if we cannot, either of us may apply to a court having personal jurisdiction over the parties for appointment of a mediator. We will
share the mediator's fees and expenses equally, but otherwise will bear our own attorneys' fees and mediation cost. Participation in such
mediation shall be a condition to either of us initiating litigation. In order to allow time for the mediation, any applicable statute of
limitations shall be tolled for a period not to exceed 120 days from the date either of us first requests in writing to mediate the
dispute. The mediation shall be confidential in all respects, as allowed or required by law, except our final settlement positions at
mediation shall be admissible in litigation solely to determine the prevailing party's identity for purposes of the award of attorneys'
fees. In the event you fail to make a payment for services or to reimburse for costs advanced by the Firm on your behalf, the Firm
reserves the right to take all legally permissible action, including commencement of litigation in lieu of mediation, and shall have the
right to collect its costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in any such collection or litigation activities.
We have the right to withdraw from this engagement, in our discretion, if you do not provide us with any information we request in a
timely manner, refuse to cooperate with our reasonable requests or misrepresent any facts. Our withdrawal will release us from any
obligation to complete your return and will constitute completion of our engagement. You agree to compensate us for our time and out -
of- pocket expenses through the date of withdrawal.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our
engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as described in this letter,
please sign the enclosed copy and return it to us.
Very truly yours,

Y g
Title / Subject: GASB 54 Fund Designations
Meeting Date: December 12, 2011
Prepared by: Bruce DeJong
Reviewed by: Brian Heck
Attachment: Resolution
10C
MEETING TYPE
Regular Meeting
Policy Consideration:
Adoption of these designations will allow the City of Shorewood to present financial statements in
accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting
and Governmental Fund Type Definitions.
Background:
Staff is in process of implementing GASB 54, which clarifies fund types and reclassifies fund balances.
The new standard says that the foundation for a special revenue or enterprise fund should be from a
revenue source that is either restricted or committed. That restricted or committed revenue source
should be expected to continue to represent a substantial portion of the inflows reported in that fund.
Other restricted, committed or assigned revenue may be reported in that fund. At any point the
government does not expect that a substantial portion of the inflows will be from restricted or
committed resources, the government should stop using a special revenue fund and report the
remaining resources in the general fund. This will affect how the sale proceeds and interest earnings
from the Liquor Fund are reported.
Under current practice, fund balances are either classified as reserved or unreserved. Many
governments also designate part of unreserved fund balance. Recent research shows that the
components are often misunderstood by financial statement readers. It is often unclear if any of the
reserved or designated balances are available to help balance a government's budget.
GASB 54 will significantly change how this information is reported. The statement is intended to
improve the usefulness of the amount reported in fund balance by providing more structured
classification. The statement also clarifies the definition of existing governmental fund types.
The hierarchy of five possible classifications of fund balance is:
Non - spendable Fund Balance
• Amounts that cannot be spent due to form; for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. Also,
long -term loan and notes receivables, and property held for resale would be reported here
unless the proceeds are restricted, committed or assigned.
• Amounts that must be maintained intact legally or contractually (corpus or principal of a
permanent fund)
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a
healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial
management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership.
Restricted Fund Balance
• Amounts constrained for a specific purpose by external parties, constitutional provision or
enabling legislation. This is the same definition used by GASB Statement no. 34, Basic Financial
Statements —and Management's Discussion and Analysis —for State and Local Governments, for
restricted net assets.
Committed Fund Balance
• Amounts constrained for a specific purpose by a government using its highest level of decision -
making authority. It would require action by the same group to remove or change the
constraints placed on the resources.
• Action to constrain resources must occur prior to year -end; however, the amount can be
determined in the subsequent period.
Assigned Fund Balance
• For all governmental funds other than the general fund, any remaining positive amounts not
classified as nonspendable, restricted or committed.
• For the general fund, amounts constrained for the intent to be used for a specific purpose by a
governing board or a body or official that has been delegated authority to assign amounts.
Amount reported as assigned should not result in a deficit in unassigned fund balance.
Unassigned Fund Balance
• For the general fund, amounts not classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed or
assigned. The general fund is the only fund that would report a positive amount in unassigned
fund balance.
• For all governmental funds other than the general fund, amount expended in excess of
resources that are nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned (a residual deficit).
• In determining a residual deficit, no amount should be reported as assigned.
In order to accomplish this, the City Council will have to make a commitment for the Southshore
Community Center fund balance by resolution at the December 12 meeting. Staff recommends allowing
the City Administrator or his designee to make any assignments of fund balance.
Financial or Budget Considerations:
The adoption of this standard has no direct budgetary effect.
Options:
The City Council may choose to:
1. Adopt the resolution as presented;
2. Make additional changes and adopt the amended resolution
3. Do not adopt any GASB 54 standards and not be able to report in compliance with generally
accepted accounting principles for government.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution as presented.
Next Steps and Timelines:
The annual financial report will be prepared and presented to the City Council in June.
Connection to Vision / Mission:
This process contributes to sound financial management by providing financial resources to pay for
desired city services.

GASB 54 POLICY
L PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to create new fund balance classifications to allow for more
useful fund balance reporting and for compliance with the reporting guidelines specified
in Statement No. 54 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
II. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY
The policy of this city is to comply with GASB Statement No. 54. To the extent a
specific conflict occurs between this policy and the provisions of GASB Statement No.
54, the GASB Statement shall prevail.
III. DEFINITIONS
A. "Assigned" fund balance amounts are comprised of unrestricted funds
constrained by the city's intent that they be used for specific purposes, but that do
not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In funds other
than the general fund, the assigned fund balance represents the remaining amount
that is not restricted or committed. The assigned fund balance category will cover
the portion of a fund balance that reflects the city's intended use of those
resources. The action to assign a fund balance may be taken after the end of the
fiscal year. An assigned fund balance cannot be a negative number.
B. "Committed" fund balance amounts are comprised of unrestricted funds used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the council
and that remain binding unless removed by the council by subsequent formal
action. The formal action to commit a fund balance must occur prior to fiscal
year end; however, the specific amounts actually committed can be determined in
the subsequent fiscal year. A committed fund balance cannot be a negative
number.
C. "Enabling legislation" means legislation that authorizes a city to assess, levy,
charge, or otherwise mandate payment of resources from external providers and
includes a legally enforceable requirement that those resources be used only for
the specific purposes listed in the legislation.
D. "Fund balance" means the arithmetic difference between the assets and liabilities
reported in a city fund.
E. " Nonppendable" fund balance amounts are comprised of funds that cannot be
spent because they are either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact. They include items that are inherently
unspendable, such as, but not limited to, inventories, prepaid items, long -term
receivables, non - financial assets held for resale, or the permanent principal of
endowment funds.
F. "Restricted" fund balance amounts are comprised of funds that have legally
enforceable constraints placed on their use that either are externally imposed by
resource providers or creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors,
contributors, voters, or laws or regulations of other governments, or are imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
G. "Unassigned" fund balance amounts are the residual amounts in the general fund
not reported in any other classification. Unassigned amounts in the general fund
are technically available for expenditure for any purpose. The general fund is the
only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance. Other funds would
report a negative unassigned fund balance should the total of nonspendable,
restricted, committed and assigned fund balances exceed the total net resources
of that fund.
H. "Unrestricted" fund balance is the amount of fund balance left after determining
both nonspendable and restricted net resources. This amount can be determined
by adding the committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances.
IV. CLASSIFICATION OF FUND BALANCES
The city shall classify its fund balances in its various funds in one or more of the
following five classifications: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned.
V. ORDER OF RESOURCE USE
If resources from more than one fund balance classification could be spent, the city will
strive to spend resources from fund balance classifications in the following order (first to
last): restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.
VI. COMMITTING FUND BALANCE
A majority vote of the city council is required to commit a fund balance to a specific
purpose and subsequently to remove or change any constraint so adopted by the board.
VII. ASSIGNING FUND BALANCE
The City Council delegates the power to assign fund balances to the City Administrator
or his designee. Assignments shall be reported to the city council on a annual basis.
VIII. REVIEW
The city council will conduct an annual review of the sufficiency of the fund balance
levels.

committed fund balance cannot be a negative number.
(C) "Enabling legislation" means legislation that authorizes a city to assess, levy, charge, or otherwise
mandate payment of resources from external providers and includes a legally enforceable requirement that those
resources be used only for the specific purposes listed in the legislation.
(D) "Fund balance" means the arithmetic difference between the assets and liabilities reported in a school
district fund.
(E) " Nonspendable" fund balance amounts are comprised of funds that cannot be spent because they are either

inherently unspendable, such as, but not limited to, inventories, prepaid items, long -term receivables, non - financial
assets held for resale, or the permanent principal of endowment funds.
(F) `Restricted" fund balance amounts are comprised of funds that have legally enforceable constraints placed
on their use that either are externally imposed by resource providers or creditors (such as through debt covenants),
grantors, contributors, voters, or laws or regulations of other governments, or are imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
(G) "Unassigned" fund balance amounts are the residual amounts in the general fund not reported in any other

general fund is the only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance. Other funds would report a negative
unassigned fund balance, should the total of nonspendable, restricted, and committed fund balances exceed the total
net resources of that fund.
(H) "Unrestricted" fund balance is the amount of fund balance left after determining both nonspendable and
restricted net resources. This amount can be determined by adding the committed, assigned, and unassigned fund
balances.
3. CLASSIFICATION OF FUND BALANCES
The city shall classify its fund balances in its various funds in one or more of the following five classifications:
nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.
4. MINIMUM FUND BALANCE
The city will strive to maintain a minimum unassigned general fund balance of two months of operating expenses.
5. ORDER OF RESOURCE USE
If resources from more than one fund balance classification could be spent, the city will strive to spend resources
from fund balance classifications in the following order (first to last): restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned.
6. COMMITTING FUND BALANCE
A majority vote of the city council is required to commit a fund balance to a specific purpose and subsequently to
remove or change any constraint so adopted by the council.
7. ASSIGNING FUND BALANCE
The city council, by majority vote, may assign fund balances to be used for specific purposes when appropriate. The
council also delegates the power to assign fund balances to the chief financial and administrative officer.
Assignments so made shall be reported to the city council on a monthly basis, either separately or as part of ongoing
reporting by the assigning party if other than the city council.
An appropriation of an existing fund balance to eliminate a projected budgetary deficit in the subsequent year's
budget in an amount no greater than the projected excess of expected expenditures over expected revenues satisfies
the criteria to be classified as an assignment of fund balance.
8. REVIEW
The city council will conduct an annual review of the sufficiency of the minimum unassigned general fund balance
level.
MEMORANDUM
Date: December 8, 2011
To: Mayor Lizee
Council Members
From: Bruce DeJong, Finance Director
Re: October, 2011 Monthly Budget Report
The 2011 General Fund budget continues to look reasonably good. At 90.6% of non - property
tax revenues, we compare well to the previous three years. Actual revenues are about $45,000
lower than last year at this point. Overall expenditures are at 74.2% which is higher than last
year at this point and the three year average.
REVENUES
• We have received the first half property taxes collected through May 15 from Hennepin
County.
• License and permit revenues are up about $21,000 over last year. Staff believes this is a
sustainable increase in activity from the levels of the past couple of years which is
reflected in the 2012 budget.
• Intergovernmental revenues are typical for this point with the first half of the MSA funds
in from the state.
• Charges for services are running just under last year's level, but are on track to make
budget.
• Fines and forfeitures are lower than last year so this item may come in under budget for
the year.
• Miscellaneous revenue looks to be on track for the year. .
EXPENDITURES
• General Government — looks slightly higher than average because of support services.
However, the charges should remain under budget overall.
• Elections — should be well under budget based on salary allocations.
• Finance - over in both supplies and support services, but some expenses may be allocated
to other departments.
• Municipal Buildings — looks high only because the LMCIT liability insurance costs were
expensed early in the year rather than allocated monthly.
• Police and Fire are tracking closely with previous years.
• Public Works - over because more wages have been coded to this department based on
actual time spent. As shown in the staffing analysis this will not cause a major problem
over the course of the year because allocations to Streets and Roads are down
considerably.
• Streets and Roads — a significant supply expenditure for blacktopping caused this budget
to be exceeded.
Snow and Ice - over because of all the snow received late last winter. There is still a
chance that the overall budget will not be exceeded if snow fall this fall and early winter
is average or below.
Sanitation and Waste Control — over because more weed spraying in the parks was
needed this year.
Please contact me or Mr. Heck if you have any questions.
