1. CONVENE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
Mayor Zerby called the meeting to order at 6:00 P.M.
A. Roll Call
Present. Mayor Zerby; Councilmembers Hotvet and Woodruff, Administrator Joynes; City Clerk
Panchyshyn; Finance Director DeJong; Planning Director Nielsen; Director of Public
Works Brown; and City Engineer Hornby
Absent: Councilmembers Siakel and Sundberg
B. Review Agenda
Hotvet moved, Woodruff seconded, approving the agenda as presented. Motion passed 310.
2. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DISCUSSION
Administrator Joynes explained that during the 2013 and 2014 Council and staff retreats the health of all of
the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Funds the Enterprise Funds and the General Fund were
reviewed. Over the last few years a number of steps were taken to stabilize several of the funds. There is
still work that needs to be done. The first priority for discussion was how to stabilize the General Fund
reserve. There was discussion about the General Fund Balance Policy and a tax increase. The City had not
increased its,tax levy for a number of years. The City had Ehlers conduct rate studies for the sewer and
stormwater utilities because the balances in the Sewer Fund and Stormwater Management Fund were
declining. The rate increases recommended by Ehlers were implemented and the two Funds have been
stabilized from their starting point in 2013.
The transfer from he General Fund to the Equipment Replacement Fund and Street Reconstruction Fund
was increased by about $80,000; that still does not fund everything that needs to be done.
Staff provided a financing plan for the revised construction cost estimates for the County Road 19 trail and
Smithtown Road west sidewalk. The financing plan included using Minnesota State Aid (MSA) funds,
borrowing from other funds and switching of money around. The updated construction cost estimates for
the proposed Galpin Lake Road trail segment and the Smithtown Road east sidewalk extension are
significantly less than what the current bidding environment indicates. The bids for the Galpin Lake Road
segment came in substantially higher than the estimates. The funding for the proposed trail segment and
sidewalk extension has been put in jeopardy given the City's current assets.
There are some major issues that need to be decided in 2015. One of them is the ownership of and fiscal
responsibility for the Southshore Community Center (SSCC). There needs to be a decision about what to
do with it and what the City's obligations are. A letter from the Shorewood Council was mailed to the City
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MINUTES

Councils for the other four cities that co -own the SSCC with Shorewood regarding the future of the
partnership of the five cities. A representative for the City of Excelsior sent him and Mayor Zerby an email
stating Excelsior was financially unable to continue with any type of partnership at this time; at least under
the current conditions. The Excelsior Council has not addressed the letter from the Shorewood Council.
Financing for the proposed Smithtown Road east sidewalk extension, the Galpin Lake Road trail segment,
the Excelsior Boulevard trail segment and the Strawberry Lane trail segment is something Council has to
discuss and decide. Staff will present later on during this meeting revised cost estimates for the projects
based on the current bidding environment. Possible funding options will also be presented.
The layout and financing for Badger Park needs to be decided. There are elements of those improvements
that need to be included in the Park Improvements CIP. The Minnetonka Country Club (MCC) is in the
process of being sold. The potential for various types of development that could be done there will have an
influence have an influence on things (e.g., the impact on traffic, ,park usage, and public facilities). There
will likely be real estate decisions for Council to make as the MCC redevelopment moves forward.
He noted that because there are two members of Council mi

Director DeJong explained the 2014 Park Improvements CIP had included some improvements for Badger
Park. Because things are in flhx for the future of the SSCC and because of the significant increase to the
estimated cost for the improvements to more than $1 ;million none of the improvements scheduled for 2014
have been done: He moved the 2014 improvements to the 2015 CIP. Although that may not be realistic he
does not have much better to go on If Council wants him to put in the full $1,000,050 worth of
improvements costs in the CIP he will do,that. 'There is not enough funding in this Fund to pay for all of the
improvements. There needs to he other funding sources. He does not think any decisions about Badger Park
will be made early enough in 2615 to actually get a project constructed in 2015. Therefore, the first set of
improvements could be moved out to 2016. The Gideon Glen signage and parking lot improvements have
been shifted from 2414 to 2015. The cost for resurfacing of the Badger Park tennis courts has been left in
2015.
Equipment
Director DeJong explained the only significant new item in the 2015 CIP is the trackless trail machine with
flail mower for a cost of $150,000. Because of that a tractor, flail mower and rear mower were taken out of
the CIP. There is some trade in value for that equipment. As a result of those changes the cost of the 2015
CIP has increased. Director Brown has indicated he would like to order that new piece of equipment in
2014 knowing it will not arrive until 2015.
Street Reconstruction Fund
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 3 of 9
Director DeJong explained that Star Circle and Star Lane are in the 2015 Road Reconstruction CIP for
reconstruction/reclamation. When they were being considered for reconstruction in 2010 many of the
property owners along those roadways were in opposition to that. Their reconstruction was moved out one
cycle after the City sealcoated the roadways. Because it would be easy to connect to the City's water
system Council will have to decide if it wants to extend watermain as part of that project. Amlee Road and
Manitou Lane are scheduled for reconstruction in 2016. The bases have deteriorated significantly so they
should probably be fully reconstructed at some point but that is not to say that reclamation could not last
for a while. But, the CIP reflects reconstruction. Strawberry Lane and West 62"d have been added to the
2019 CIP for a cost of $1,140,000. The plan had originally been to reconstruct Eureka Road with MSA
funds. Unfortunately, the MSA funds cannot be used for Strawberry Lane because it does not connect to a
MSA classified roadway. If all of the projects in the CIP were done at the cost estimated the Street
Reconstruction Fund would end up in a deficit state. MSA funds could be used for the Christmas Lake
Road signal refurbish project. The City's share of that project is estimated to be $$,000.
Trail Fund
Director DeJong explained the estimates in the 2015 Trail CIP for the Galpin Lake Road trail segment, the
Smithtown Road east sidewalk extension, and the Excelsior Boulevard trail segment have been revised to
reflect the current bidding environment. For the Excelsior Boulevard trail segment the estimate is worst
case at $300,000. That estimate was provided by the engineering staff at Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services (MCES). The CIP estimate had originally been $180,000. The $800,000 estimate
for the Strawberry Lane/ West 62"d trail segment does not include right-of-way (ROW) costs. Constructing
the additional curb and gutter and the sidewalk would require obtaining easements from property owners
along that roadway. The cost for that could be considerable,
Mayor Zerby stated in the various CIPs things are in flux because of the MCC property potentially being
redeveloped. If 100 houses, were bitilt on the site, that would result in approximately $500,000 in revenue
from park dedication fees. There has been some casual discussion about there potentially being a park on
the site. He clarified that he is, thinking out loud right now— He stated if the existing SSCC stays where it is
located (he assumes it will because the building cannot be moved very easily) and if the building will
continue to be used for community, events then parking is still an issue that needs to be addressed. With
regard to facilities' and fields, there,is, a need for additional discussion. He does not know where the MCC
property Would have an impaet on what is,planned for that in the 2015 CIP.
Director DeJong noted there is some money in the 2015 Park CIP for roadway and parking improvements.
But, it is probably inadequate 'depending on the option chosen for Badger Park. Any option involves
expanding the parking area. He stated staff can provide a better estimate for what it would cost to expand
the parking area and bring that back for the next discussion of the CIPs.
Councilmember Woodruff explained he spoke with Administrator Joynes earlier in the day and he told him
if Council took action on the CIPs he would vote no on the whole plan. Council has not been provided any
information about fund balances or balances over time. There are no funding options being discussed. Yet,
Council is being asked to make commitments about spending money next year. He thought this is going at
things backwards. He also thinks there are things in the CIPs that the City should not be doing and from his
perspective it appears no one else wants to talk about those. Therefore, his only recourse is to say no.
Mayor Zerby stated Council is present to talk about it; it is a work session. Zerby asked Woodruff what he
would like to talk about. Woodruff noted that he was done. Zerby stated he is not sure what to make of
that.

Councilmember Hotvet stated she hopes that people do get creative about the area surrounding the Country
Club about what the trail needs are and about reconfiguration. She expressed hope that the City will work
cooperatively with the developer.
Mayor Zerby asked Administrator Joynes if there is an opportunity to come back with fund balances and to
address some of Councilmember Woodruff's concerns.
Administrator Joynes noted he and Councilmember Woodruff have differing opinions about how this
should be approached. He explained that staff is trying to get Council to make decisions about what it
wants the City to do in 2015 and 2016, when it wants them done and to what extent. It is difficult for staff
to provide balances or tell Council what the City can spend in 2015 when so many decisions have not been
made. Woodruff has stated he wants to know how much there is to spend and then that is all that will be
spent. His position is Council needs to decide what it wants done and then staff can provide three or four
options for funding those projects. Two or three of those options: have, significant ;tax impacts. Staff cannot
determine the impacts until it knows what Council wants the City, to do and when. He noted that staff's
responsibility is to do what Council directs staff to do. He also noted that for months, he has repeatedly
heard that trails are significantly important to Council.. He clarified he has no animosity towards
Woodruff s point of view; he just has a different perspective on how to approach things.

priorities and what the revised estimates are is a bit of a jump for him. The Strawberry Lane trail segment
is included in the numbers yet Council has never stated it wants to move forward with it. He is not sure the
analysis is accurate at this point.
Administrator Joynes clarified that the revised cost estimates in the CIP are worst case scenario. Staff
thought that is the most Council would want to spend. He stated Council can pick what trails it wants done,
it can delay the construction of them and it can pick the funding sources for them. Those are decisions

Council has to make. He noted that everything Mayor Zerby just stated is accurate. But, he has not heard
Council make any decisions yet.
Joynes then stated the cost for the Excelsior Boulevard trail segment may end up costing $120,000 more
than previously planned. Council has not decided if it wants to spend that much more on that segment.
Mayor Zerby clarified that Council cannot make any decision until it is provided with a revised cost
estimate.
Administrator Joynes explained staff has spoken with other municipalities and with engineering firms and
Council and staffs idea of waiting until next spring to re -bid and bid the trail projects is the same thing
others are intending to do. It is very possible the bid amounts will continue to be exceptionally high through
at least the first half of 2015. There will be a huge influx of projects and there will be continued demand on
resources because of projects like the new Vikings stadium. He noted the City cannot bid it right now
because of the lack of available funds. Council needs to decide if it wants to find a way to increase
financial resources for trail projects. There are ways to do that. For example, the City could bond for the
projects in three different ways. Or it could borrow from the Water Fund and pay it back over time.
Councilmember Woodruff stated that he found it interesting; that this has turned into a trail discussion and
all of the rest of the capital has been ignored. Yet, Director DeJong had gone through a number of things
and identified some issues and where decisions need to be made. He then stated from his vantage point the
Park Commission is quite frustrated because of Council's lack of decision making about improvements to
Badger Park. He noted he supports the Commission's frustration. He stated the improvements have been
talked about for a couple of years and the Commission has put a lot of work into identifying different
concepts. He thought Council decided on a concept. Yet, the numbers in the Park CIP won't fund any of
the concepts presented to Council. He asked if Council wants the improvements to Badger Park done or
not. Staff needs to know that: He expressed his frustration that the numbers in the CIP have not been
increased to reflect the high level cost estimates for any of the concepts presented to Council. He asked how
Council can make a decision about what to do when it does not have the current cost estimates.
Woodruff explained the 2015 Equipment Replacement CIP reflects projects expenditures of $427,500. Yet,
Council does not know how much money there is, in the Equipment Replacement Fund or what happens to
the Fund if,Councit- decides to spend all the money. The expenditure projections for 2016 — 2019 are: 2016
— $194,544; 2017 — $197;5441, 2018 — $68,500; and, 2019 — $44,000. He recommended staff try and find a
way to even that spending out somewhat: He stated maybe there is not enough information for 2018 and
2019 to make, better projections. He then stated from his perspective the whole thing does not hang
together. He does not know what he is looking at and that is why he would vote no.
Woodruff stated the 2015 Park CIP shows there is $15,000 for the Gideon Glen signage and parking lot
improvements. That seems insufficient to him and he thought there are numbers that reflect it would be
significantly more than that. Council rejected the bid for the parking lot because staff thought it was too
high. The City also received a bid for the signage.
Woodruff then stated funding for trails is a separate discussion and noted that he agrees there are a number
of funding sources that can be considered. He asked who is going to give the City part of the MCC
property for free for a park. Getting any land will have a cost. He asked what an acre of that land is going
to sell for and he asked how many acres the City would like.
Mayor Zerby acknowledged he thought Councilmember Woodruff made some good points.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MINUTES

Mayor Zerby stated he would like to move forward with Badger Park parking lot and road improvements in
2015 which will also affect the SSCC and then delay any other improvements until there is some
understanding of what is going to happen to the MCC property. It may be possible to have park dedication
fees contribute to a substantial portion of the cost for the Park improvements. He eventually wants to move
forward with improvements to the Park and believes that in the not too distant future there will be funding
available.

planning documents. They are a snap shot of what the City wants to do and it is an estimate as the CIP
goes out a few years. They also indicate how the CIP projects will be financed. The numbers in the CIPs
are the numbers the City has financed. Staff does not know how Council is going to finance it going
forward. If Council asks staff to put in costs for projects that the City cannot pay for then that is a
disservice to Council because it would not mean anything.
Mayor Zerby stated the fund balances and projections for the funds have not been provided; only the
expenses have.
Councilmember Woodruff stated if the City spends $546,500 on park improvements in 2015 he does not

asked that staff show that information to Council.
Director DeJong explained staff has provided that information on a regular basis; it is not trying to hide
that information. It was talked about during the Council and staff retreat and it was talked about the end of
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 7 of 9
this past July. He then stated staff is trying to get Council's commitment on which projects it wants the
City to undertake and when. When he gets that information he will bring back the Financial Management
Plans (FMPs) with estimates of what is being spent this year, what has been brought in and what can
reasonably be expected as income going forward. Council can then make a decision off of all of the
information. He noted that he would also like to see the expenditures leveled out. That would make it easier
to manage.
Mayor Zerby stated it has been his experience that each year there are always significant expenditures
planned for in the first year of the Park Improvement CIP and toward the end of the five years there is
almost nothing planned. He is quite sure that in 2019 the City will not spend,only'$19,000 on its parks. He
would also like to have the expenditures leveled out. The same is true for the Equipment Replacement CIP.
Zerby reiterated that he would like the Badger Park parking lot and 'road improvements done; at least for
the time being.
Director Nielsen explained the Park Commission's recommendation was to do the parking lot and road
improvements and the field renovation together. Mayor Zerby stated that recommendation was' before the
MCC property came into play. That redevelopment is why he is willing to move the field renovation out.
Councilmember Woodruff asked when the discussion about the impact of the redevelopment of the MCC
property on Badger Park took place and who was present. Mayor °Zerby clarified it is discussions he has
had with staff and it has only been within the last week that information has come forward about the sale of
the MCC property.
Councilmember Hotvet noted she had been the liaison to the Park,Commission for the first six months of
the year. She stated she agrees the Commission has put a lot of work into coming up with concepts for the
Badger Park renovation. , She thought that moving forward with the parking lot and road improvements
would be a good place to start. She then stated she thought the field renovation needs to be considered
carefully because of the time it takes to make the improvements and get the turf ready to be played on.
Director Nielsen stated if the :field renovation is , done after the parking lot improvements the heavy
equipment that will be needed for the field could damage the parking lot. That was the rationale for doing
those two components together. The buildings and other improvements follow that. He thought the money
was there to do the parking lot and field components.
Councilmember Hotvet stated it is,her recollection that Council gave direction to do those two components.
Mayor Zerby concurred.
Councilmember Woodruff asked staff if there are financing options for completing the improvements to
Badger Park.
Administrator Joynes explained there are some major money sources. The Council could decide to bond for
any kind of public improvements and there are different ways to do that; one is for the Shorewood
Economic Development Authority to bond. The City could borrow from its Water Fund, which has the
most significant balance, to do public improvements. The loan could be paid back over time with interest.
There will be some form of development on the MCC property. The City has the ability to charge a per lot
park dedication fee. The current zoning of that property could possibly allow 90 — 100 lots. Depending on
how a developer wants to develop the property there could be a lot of negotiation. For sure there will have
to be some traffic changes.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD WORK SESSION MINUTES
October 27, 2014

Councilmember Woodruff stated there is also the possibility of Tax Increment Financing (TIF). He
reiterated that he thought there is enough money in the Park Improvements Fund to fund the Badger Park
parking lot and road improvements as well as the field renovation within a few dollars. The second phase of
the improvements could possibly be funded with a loan from the Water Fund. That same type of discussion
needs to take place for trails.
Woodruff then stated the Street Reconstruction CIP includes Amlee Road and Manitou Lane but not Glen
Road. Glen Road is in similar condition to the other two roadways and it is the feeder street to the other two
roadways and those two roadways in total only have about 20 residents living along side of them. That
makes no sense to him.
Woodruff went on to state that the Park Improvements CIP includes $10,000 for a Badger Park Creek
Crossing. He thought that is a misplaced priority and it could be pushed out if need be.
Councilmember Hotvet stated the Minnehaha Creek Wal

grant funds from the MCWD for a couple of projects. There is a similar opportunity with Hennepin County

Councilmember Hotvet stated it is ;prudent for the City to keep the MCWD aware of what the City has for
upcoming CIP projects where there could be collaboration with the MCWD as the MCWD is building its
10 -year CIP.
Engineer Hornby stated staff has been proactive in telling the MCWD what pertinent projects the City has
on the horizon. An example of that is the Gideon Glen parking lot project including the erosion issue that
the two parties are trying to find a solution for. He then stated staff gets together with the MCWD at least
once a year to discuss the City's and the MCWD's upcoming projects. That meeting was about one month
ago.
Director Nielsen noted that he and Mayor Zerby are meeting with representatives from the MCWD
tomorrow October 28 to talk about Badger Park improvements and how the MCWD could be involved
with that. Councilmember Hotvet suggested the Freeman Park wetland restoration effort also be brought

B. Report by Lake" Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) Representative
noted that Deborah Zorn;, the City's representative to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation
D), was present to give a report on LMCD activities.
Ms. Zorn highlighted in the information in her LMCD quarterly report (a copy of which had been
provided to Council ), The highlights are as follows.
➢ High Water —,A,52-day-long emergency high water (EHW) declaration for all of Lake
Minnetonka was in effect from June 6 — July 25, 2014. It meant minimum wake restrictions were
in place. That was the first time ever that the entire Lake was included. There were historical
Lake level readings in 2014 with highest being 931.11.
➢ Eurasian Watermilfoil (EWM) Harvesting Program — In 2014 EWM was harvested from 391
acres in Lake Minnetonka with 34 of them being in Shorewood.
➢ Shoreline Boat Storage Count — Every other year the LMCD conducts a shoreline watercraft
storage count of the 125 miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline. This year's watercraft count was
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 3 of 16
10,174. The LMCD Board is discussing if the count needs to be done every two years or if it can
be done less frequently. The Board wants to know what the information is collected for.
➢ Ordinance Review — When she joined the LMCC Board there was a review of the ordinance for
qualified commercial marinas in progress. Changes were made to the ordinance. The approved
changes included: allowing docks to be constructed out to 200 feet; the special density licenses
and public amenities requirements were dropped for qualified facilities; and, the processing of
minor changes was streamlined. Review of possible changes for municipalities will begin in
January 2015.
➢ Upcoming dates and topics
• November 1, 2014 — The third LMCD Boater Safety Education Training Course for youth
ages 12 — 17. The youth have to be sponsored by an adult. �;outh that take the class are told
when they are done they will be more educated than about 75 percent of the watercraft
drivers they will encounter on Lake Minnetonka.
• November 12, 2014 — The LMCD will hold a public hearing on a North Seton Channel Quiet
Water Area petition.
• Continued coordination of aquatic invasive species (AIS) training for local municipalities.
• Review of the LMCD ordinances for high water, declaration, municipalities and littering will
begin.
• The LMCD's role in the herbicide treatment of EW1V1.__ ..

Zerby asked Ms. Zorn if she has any idea what it costs the LMCD to conduct the shoreline watercraft
count. He stated he thought the LMCD's focus was things on the water and not off of the water. Ms. Zorn
stated that information was requested during the LMCD Board's last meeting. That work stream is done
in conjunction with another work stream which she believes is dock use area work. In response to a
comment from Zerby, Ms. Zorn stated the count took place over a two -week period in August. Zerby
noted that he does not see the need for the count.
Mayor Zerby thanked Ms. Zorn for serving and for coming this evening.
C. Report by Gabriel Jabbour State of the Lake
Mayor Zerby noted that Gabriel Jabbour was present to report on the State of Lake Minnetonka.
Mr. Jabbour thanked Mayor Zerby for the giving him the opportunity to come before Council.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 4 of 16
Mr. Jabbour stated he has been living around Lake Minnetonka since 1967 and permanently since 1972.
He noted there are 14 cities that to some extent abut the Lake and he has never considered his community
to end at the border of the city he lived in except when he served as an elected official. He stated he has
always participated in some form or another in activities for the greater community. He was mentored by
people who embraced greater and bigger ideas and who had a can do attitude. It was at a time when the
Lake cities employed two or three people. The City of Orono, which covers about 35 square miles, at one
time employed three people. It relied heavily on its premier residents to do the work.
He explained that one of the ideas that came about back then was the formation of the Lake Minnetonka
Conservation District (LMCD). It is one of only two conservation districts in the State of Minnesota
where there are more than 12,000 lakes. The LMCD was critical at a time when the cities had such few
employees back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He noted he had been a great partner with the LMCD
for many years. He was a cheer leader for people who took marina issuesto the State Supreme Court and
prevailed after the Court made landmark decisions. He noted that a business owner does not have to be a
bad corporate resident to operate profitably.
He stated over the last several years he has been findin'
because of the LMCD's lack of progressive attitude. He
residents such as such as the Shorewood representative on 1
process. He stated he does not think the LMCD is capable

k of desire of the Board.
He explained during the summer of 2014 when the water 'level in the Lake became extremely high the
LMCD staff was informed that it may be called upon to do something over a certain weekend to address
the high water situation. On Sunday of that weekend all of his marina docks were under water. There
were tens of thousands of amps under water. He is very safety conscious so they immediately shutoff the
electricity. Pretty soon people were out in the middle of the Lake responding to calls about floating trees
and other things. The LMCD staff was,hotified that something needs to be done about the high water. The
response from stiff was they would bring that up at the next LMCD Board meeting. He called the
Hennepin County Sheriff because of that response and asked him to issue an executive order to turn the
entire Lake into quiet water: That would be similar to when he closed the Lake to cars on the ice when
there were ice incidents. The Sheriff responded he did not have the authority to do that. He told the
Sheriff that he must have the authority because he had done something similar before. About 30 minutes
later he started to hear that his call was being talked about in the community and about three hours later
LMCD staff brought it to the Board and the Board acted on the request. He believes nothing would have
been done about issuing an Emergency High Water (EHW) declaration if he and others had gone through
the property channels.
When he was speaking with the Sheriff about issues the Sheriff indicated that the Hennepin County
Sheriff's Water Patrol has a very problematic business model. The Water Patrol relies on volunteers. At
one time there were 54 volunteers. There had been up to 11 deputies that had been "gun holders ". Now it
is down to 21 volunteers and 6 — 7 gun holders. He has worked hard with people to secure a single line
item in the Hennepin County budget for 2 additional deputies that would be called Lake Minnetonka
deputies. He commented that at one time the Water Patrol had its facility at one of his marinas at no
charge when the Water patrol's facility was torn down to build a new facility.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 27, 2014

He stated we bought a 2 acre piece of land that has reduced in size to 1.6 acres. People are trying to
understand why it is eroding. The LMCD staff never brought that to the LMCD Board. He noted that
every single issue that he brought to the LMCD staff was never presented to the LMCD Board.
He explained that after July 4 he found mountains of garbage around Big Island. He was told that was Big
Island and that is someone else's responsibility. Yet $300,000 - $400,000 in taxpayer money was recently
spent to re- vegetate and secure the cliffs on park land on Big Island. That was done by Three Rivers Park
District (TRPD) in partnership with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). It became
painfully necessary to remove the snow fencing that was there to keep the kids from going on it. Workers
came to remove the snow fence so the vegetation could grow. He asked the LMCD in writing as the
official custodian of the Big Island Orono Camp to assist people by passing a,civil ordinance so that the
Water Patrol could help issue citations. To date that still has not been dealt with. He has never received a
response from staff. He thought 90 percent of the stuff that goes to the'LMCD goes into a dark hole; it
never makes it to the LMCD Board. The Board means well and wants to work,on issues. Unfortunately, it
is handed a limited and controlled menu to choose from.
He stated that because the LMCD licenses his marinas his, livelihood could be in jeopardy if the LMCD
gives him a hard time or retaliates against him. Yet, he finds it extremely more important that Lake
Minnetonka (which the Supreme Court referred to as the crown jewel of all of the lakes in, Minnesota in
its ruling) is attended to. He noted that he met with the LMCD Executive Committee several times and
with the Chair of the LMCD Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Task Force. And, he polled members of the
LMCD Board and found them to be oblivious to any concerns.
He then stated he works with many agencies and he sits on boards and committees. He finds it
unbelievably frustrating to work with the LMCD. He finds it somewhat odd that the US Fish and Wildlife
Agency was more interested in what he had to say then LMCD ,Executive Directory Nybeck and
company. He clarified he is not personally attacking Nybeck. He just wants better for his daughter and
granddaughters and for the resourees,people care about.
He went on to state the location of the Water Patrol facility is not effective today. He has spoken with the
Sheriff about that. He has told Mayor Zerby that he has signed a lease with the Sheriff at no cost to have a
satellite station at the Shorewood Yacht Club'(SYC). He did that because the Water Patrol's response
time to the lowet'Lake is extremely long. He explained that when there were 12 boats flipped over during
the bad storm this past- sdmmer the Water Patrol could not respond to that because it did not have any
docks in the water; they had been removed; He received a call from a friend in Canada to go and help out.
He was at an Orono City Council meeting not long after that. The LMCD was on the agenda to present its
2015 budget. That Council asked, the LMCD representative for an update on that incident and what the
follow up is. That LMCD person had nothing to say about it. Not one LMCD person visited that incident.
He explained there is somewhat of a Bermuda Triangle on Lake Minnetonka. It is called Maynards, Big
Island and Lord Fletchers. To dispatch a boat from the Water Patrol for a heart attack victim on Big Island
on the lower Lake is a 40 plus minute response time. He does not understand why the LMCD staff is not
bringing things forward to the LMCD Board. From his perspective something needs to be done about
that. He will speak to any Lake city council about trying to make a change if he is allowed to do so.
He noted that he is on the State AIS Committee. He explained that on October 23, 2014, he was at a
meeting and he thought he heard that any police officer can issue a $350 criminal ticket for an AIS
transportation violation. An officer has to be trained on AIS in order to issue a civil ticket for $500. He
challenged the person who made that comment and was told that is specified n State Statute.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 6 of 16
He stated the reason he resigned from the LMCD AIS Task Force was because the LMCD received a
warning ticket from a South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD) patrol officer for transporting
AIS. He thanked the officer for doing that. He tried to talk about that during a Task Force meeting but
could not because it was not on the agenda. Not a single LMCD staff person or AIS harvester was trained
on AIS. That was an embarrassment to him so he resigned.
Councilmember Woodruff asked Mayor Zerby what Council is going to do.
Mayor Zerby stated to him it is very disappointing that the LMCD, which had its routes in pollution
control when it was formed, has not been a good steward of the Lake. He noted he is a strong proponent
of resident input and involvement. Based on what Mr. Jabbour has stated it sounds like that is seriously
lacking. He stated he thought the City will have to talk with the State and look into what the LMCD's
bylaws are and find out if the LMCD is set up the way it needs to be in order to be effective.
Councilmember Woodruff stated there was a move a couple of years ago to disband the LMCD. That
went a long way in the State Legislature. A bill was drafted and introduced but it did not make it out of
committee. He then stated Mr. Jabbour has identified a number of things that should be brought up to the
LMCD Board. If Council needs to do that then that is what should be done. He noted that he is not sure he
agrees with everything Mr. Jabbour said. He also noted "that he does think there needs to be some things
done to the organization. But, the Shorewood Council does not have an ability to influence that. He stated
people need to go to the Legislature to have the LMCD's charter changed and noted that the LMCD's
charter is very narrow.
Councilmember Hotvet asked if people have a right to do something like an audit, for lack of a better
word, of the LMCD.
Mr. Jabbour stated the LMCD is 1

mowledge in the history of the LMCD there has only been one
He noted,that the LMCD member cities-do not control the LMCD's destiny. He used the analogy of a pot
luck supper where people are lucky if they hit the right pot. There are, for example, 7 Board members
who think 4 certain way one time when they show up. It is not unlikely that a no position will reverse to a
yes position when different members of the Board were in attendance.
He explained an attempt had been made to do a public access and force it on the LMCD member cities.
Orono decided to with draw its representative because of that. At that time there was a very capable
LMCD Board Chair narned,Bill Johnson. At that time Mr. Johnson stated the enabling legislation states a
city shall elect a representative to serve for a period of three years. And, no one could remove an elected
representative unless there was maleficence. He went to the State Legislature to get it to repeal that bad
law. The State Legislature adopted a change that allowed a city to maybe appoint a representative. There
was a lot of discussion about if a city does not have a representative on the Board does that absolve a city
form having to contribute financially to the LMCD. He, at that time, stated a city should still have to pay.
He still gets critiqued for taking that position.
He noted that the Cities of Orono and Minnetonka are not happy that they have to pay a combined 40
percent of the LMCD budget.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 7 of 16
He stated he thinks the enabling legislation needs to be changed. He then stated there can be a controlled
change by the 14 LMCD member cities. Or they can be uncontrolled change by people saying it is not the
member cities' Lake.
He then stated a few weeks ago when he was in Florida he received a call that the sailing yacht clubs have
asked that the lower Lake, Wayzata Bay and Spring Park Bay be quiet water on Saturdays and Sundays.
He received calls from 28 people who don't own lakeshore property telling him that he does not own the
Lake. The greater State of Minnesota who owns the Lake might affect a change. Yet, there is a serious
problem beyond that.
He went on to state that he thinks all 14 member cities should go to the State Legislature and ask for
overlapping jurisdiction. He cannot wait until the LMCD decides to stop the garbage from washing up on
shore. He indicated that he thinks there is a major disconnect between, the heart of the Lake community
being policed the correct way and it being controlled the correct way and the member City Councils. He
thought the member cities' Mayors need to get together. He clarified that he is not coming through the
back door on this. He noted that he has spoken fairly frankly with °almost 104 percent of the LMCD
Boardmembers about this.
Mayor Zerby suggested forming a task force of the tnetaber, City Mayors and /or possibly member City
Councils. He noted he would be happy to host such a meeting so the member cities can hear from each
other on this. He stated this needs to be discussed at the city level first. The cities need to form a unified
message. Then it can be taken to the state level.
Councilmember Woodruff stated that he
be a healthy thina to do. He then stated he
views the LMCD as similar to the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission organization where a
lot of the member cities appear to believe that they had representation so they could ignore things. There
are a lot of the member City Councils who don't have their representatives come before them to update
them on progress. He expressed concern about that because the representatives are able to make law. He
noted that the City's reprdsentative to the LMCD has the authority to vote on ordinances.
Mr. Jabbour stated the Sheriff's issue is a $500,000 $700,000 issue. The LMCD Board should have
been talking to the member City Councils about it; The Councils should have taken advantage of County
Commissioner Callison who he thinks very highly of. The Shorewood Council should have discussed that
with her when she came before Council a few weeks ago. He then stated the Sheriff has limited control
because of the police union, ,the lack of volunteers and the budget for the Water Patrol. He went on to
statethat when he brought this q to the LMCD Executive Committee one member stated the levy should
be increased. He noted that the Hennepin County Budget is more than that of the thirteenth State of the
Union.
Mayor Zerby stated Council will work with staff to come up with a time for the cities to get together.
There is no time to waste
Mr. Jabbour thanked Council for this opportunity.

Director Nielsen explained the Robert Johander family owns the properties located at 27630 and 27660
Virginia Cove. Michael Johander, the trustee, proposes to straighten the lot line between the two
properties out as shown on the site location map. The lot line would then run straight north so that one lot
does not wrap around the other.
The two properties are located in the R -lA /S, Single - Family Residential/Shoreland zoning district. The
lots currently meet or exceed the lots size requirements of the Zoning Code for that District and they will
continue to meet or exceed the requirements after the completion of the subdivision/combination. The
existing drainage and utility easements along the current common lot line must be vacated. The public
hearing that is next on the agenda is to vacate the easements. Replacement easements will be recorded
with the division/combination along the new lot line.
Nielsen noted the Planning Commission unanimously recommended

concerns about what that might look like. Staff followed up by providing Council with illustrations of
various housing projects around the area and what the densities during its August 11 meeting. Staff also
arranged for Rick Fenske, with WEIS Builders who builds senior housing, to make a presentation on the
state of the twin cities senior housing market during its September 8 work session.
Nielsen stated staff is seeking direction from Council about the proposed ordinance amendment.
Mayor Zerby noted he continues to be against the amendment because he considers it to be spot zoning.
He does not think spot zoning is appropriate. He clarified he does agree with the intent of the amendment.
He is all for finding places where additional elderly housing can be built. He explained the Minnetonka

Country Club (MCC) management has sent a letter to its members and circulated to the public that
suggests the MCC property is going to be sold and likely redeveloped. The MCC site is very close to the
Smithtown Crossing Redevelopment Area. He asked that there be a broader application of the proposed
amendments for the Smithtown Crossing Area. He noted he had conveyed this position in previous
meetings.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he can support the amendment. He then stated from his perspective the
notion of extending the proposed type of density to the R -1 and R -2 districts would be a mistake. That
would mean a multi - family house could be built, for example, next to Mayor Zerby's home. Zerby
clarified that he just stated there are other areas in the City where it could be applicable. Woodruff stated
if that is to be done then zoning within the City needs to be changed because there are no other areas
zoned for higher density development.

the auto repair bu iness is allowed stay there in perpetuity. But, if the property owner sells it and the new
owner wants to use if for something else the property owner can only make it residential. Director Nielsen
stated that is pretty accurate.
Director Nielsen clarified the Smithtown Crossing Redevelopment Area is not being rezoned at this time.
He explained the Smithtown Crossing Study was adopted into the City's Comprehensive Plan and it
guides that property, for mixed use (residential and commercial). If the residential commercial is to be
elderly it anticipates it will be done as a planned unit development (PUD). That would be a rezoning.
Mayor Zerby stated that under a PUD a developer could essentially do what is being proposed for the
Smithtown Crossing Redevelopment Area in the amendment. Director Nielsen clarified that density
would have to be decided at that point.
Director Nielsen stated the intent of the amendment is to plan for the future versus react when a developer
proposes something. The City can then to some degree direct how it will be developed.
Mayor Zerby stated he would like to have that reaction of giving the public an opportunity to weigh in on
what is being proposed.

has to be in comnliance with what is specified in the resolution.
Hotvet moved, Woodruff seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 14 -092, "A Resolution

D. Smithtown Road (East) Trail Project
This was discussed after Item 8.13 on the agenda.
Director Nielsen explained that prior to its October 21, 2014, meeting the Planning Commission
conducted its trail walk for the Smithtown Road East Sidewalk Extension Project. The extension will go
from the LRT Trail where the Smithtown Road west trail left off up to the about the intersection of
Smithtown Road and County Road 19. During the Commission's meeting it discussed the Feasibility
Report for the Project. The Report recommends the sidewalk be placed on the south side of the roadway

primarily because of the location of the utilities, terrain and so forth. There will still be power poles that
have to be dealt with. The Commission agreed with that.
A number of residents came out and spoke with the Commission. During the walk, one resident expressed
concern about the close proximity of the proposed sidewalk to her house. Another resident asked about
tree removal and the possibility of assessment. A third group expressed opposition to trails in general and
to this specific trail which they had opposed several years ago. The residents were invited to the October
30 open house for the Smithtown Road East Sidewalk Extension and Galpin Lake Road Trail Projects.
Nielsen noted the Planning Commission recommended acceptance of the Feasibility Report for the
Smithtown Road East Sidewalk Extension Project.
Councilmember Woodruff clarified that this evening Council is only being,asked to accept the Feasibility
Report. Council is not considering approving a project that will cost about $1 million. He asked that the
full Report be included in the online meeting packet so people can look at the full Report. He noted that
Council has received that under separate cover.
Hotvet moved, Woodruff seconded, accepting the Feasibility Resort for the Smithtown Road East

presented many years ago; This has resurfaced after the spring of 2014 torrential rainfalls that impacted
many homes in the Shorewood Oaks!, area. He has verified with Engineer Hornby that the proposal
includes analyzing both the Shorewood Oak's area and Freeman Park area to identify alternatives for
improving the stormwater management system in,those areas. The proposal is on an hourly basis for an
amount not to exceed $14;500. If this, is ,approved staff recommends it be funded out of the Stormwater
Management Fund. He noted stiff recommends approval of the proposal.
Mayor Zerby asked what the acronym XPSWMM means. Engineer Hornby explained it is the software
WSB uses to analye the stormwater and it allows it to be analyzed over land and through the pipes.
Councilmember Woodruff stated that the proposal does not mention Shorewood Oaks. Engineer Hornby
reaffirmed that the drainage into the Shorewood Oaks area will be analyzed as well.
Woodruff moved, Zerby seconded, accepting WSB & Associates' proposal for professional services
for a feasibility study of stormwater improvements for the Freeman Park and Shorewood Oaks
areas for an amount not to exceed $10,500. Motion passed 310.

Administrator Joynes noted that attendance at the annual appreciation dinner for commissioners and
volunteers as well as staff has been declining over the course of the last number of years. He stated staff
and Mayor Zerby are wondering if there is some other form of appreciation recognition Council would
like to consider. He thought the timing of the dinner in December is somewhat problematic.
Mayor Zerby stated staff does somewhat celebrate the holiday season on its own with a potluck style
lunch and Administrator Joynes has an informal gathering at his house for staff. He then stated what is
being discussed is how to show appreciation for the work the commissioners, the volunteer gardeners and
other volunteers do. One of the suggestions he has heard from a few people is to acknowledge those
individuals on camera. He asked if Council wants to continue with the appreciation dinner in December.
Councilmember Woodruff suggested asking the commissioners what
they would like. He then stated a past council suggested having a picnic

Mayor Zerby explained the Excelsior Firefighters Relief Association (EFRA) membership recently voted
to purchase a new outboard motor for the EFD's Boat 12 at a cost not to exceed $3,750. That is a
significant purchase. He expressed his appreciation to the EFRA for being so generous. The EFRA is
using dollars it raised through fundraising to make the purchase and it will then donate the motor to the
District. He noted he is somewhat disheartened that the EFRA thought it was something they needed pay
for rather than letting the EFD member cities pay for the worn out motor, particularly given the recent
events. He stated that normally equipment repairs and replacement are the responsibility of the member
cities. Yet, the EFRA took on that responsibility for ensuring Boat 12 had a working motor. He reiterated
his appreciation to the EFRA. He stated he hopes the other member cities are appreciative as well.

1. 'Frail Schedule.
Mayor Zerby noted the meeting packet contains a copy of the Trail Schedule.
Engineer Hortiby stated he thought the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) has taken
additional borings from where the Excelsior Boulevard trail retaining wall is supposed to be constructed.
He then stated he updated the Trail Schedule and he did put a to -be- determined for some of the dates.
Mayor Zerby noted that the open house for the Galpin Lake Road trail segment and the Smithtown Road
east sidewalk extension is scheduled for October 30 from 6:00 P.M. — 8:00 P.M. That will be at the
Minnewashta Elementary School in the media center /library. Engineer Hornby and Director Nielsen will
be in attendance and it is being noticed so that all members of Council can attend if they want. He plans
on attending. Councilmehiber Hotvet stated she plans on attending also.

days from now. The contractor has been working on the City's mill and overlay project including the
change order for it and he has performed very well on the mainland projects.
Councilmember Woodruff stated residents on both end of the Island don't distinguish much between the
Shorewood portion of and the City of Minnetrista portion of Enchanted Lane. Engineer Hornby stated the
contractor wants to do both portions at the same time. Hornby noted that Minnetrista approved quotes for
its mill and overlay project last week.
Engineer Hornby stated Sunnyvale Lane was paved late last week. Work was being done on driveways
today. He then stated the contractor has started to work on the Apple Road project. One resident called the
City about the size of some equipment being used. The contractor needed to use some large equipment for
one task but the rest of the equipment being used is smaller.
Director DeJong stated that the City will continue to use Health Partners as,its,cmployee health insurance
provider. None of the options are very attractive from a renewal perspective. The renewal is effective
December 1. He then stated that the City's contract with the audit firm is up the end of this year. He
recommended bidding those services out being that has not` been done for six years..Staff will bring that
to Council in the next couple of weeks.
Councilmember Woodruff asked if the City's portion of the health insurance cost is within budget
expectations. Administrator Joynes explained the employees' increase is 28 percent. The City's portion
towards the employees' insurance is negotiated annually. Staff i's in the process of negotiating that with
the Public Works labor union AFSCME. He noted for 2014 there was an approximate 18 percent decrease
in insurance costs across the board. He stated some employees will have a fairly major increase in their
health insurance premiums for 2015. Individual insurance plans are based on factors such as age,
dependents, smoking, and so forth. He noted after negotiations with AFSCME on City contributions
toward insurance premiums staff will come with a recommendation to Council for non -union staff.
Director DeJong stated for the past several years Council has approved the City's levy for the upcoming
year during its Truth in Taxation public nearing which is, scheduled for December 1 this year.
Director Nielsen stated this past weekend was the third weekend in the 2014 Deer Management Program.
Five deer were harvested, that weekend which brings the harvest total to 14 for the year. It is likely that
there will not be any harvesting done on the fifth weekend. He noted the City continues to receive
requests from property owners who want their property harvested.
Councilmember, Woodruff stated there were bowhunters out on Enchanted Island the first weekend for
two mornings and one afternoon and one morning on the second weekend. They did not see any deer. He
did not think anyone came back this past weekend. Director Nielsen clarified the bowhunters went to the
alternative site on Enchanted Point and staff notified the neighboring residents of that.
Woodruff then stated he is waiting to hear back from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) regarding a deer harvest program the DNR facilitates. It is a program that the Minnetonka Country
Club (MCC) had requested. It is regularly done in the City of Deephaven. The DNR sets a quota for
trapping and euthanizing. Based on information from the Deephaven City Administrator it costs about
$300 per deer. He has started telling some people living on Enchanted Island that there may be someone
approaching them for donations to fund the program.
Mayor Zerby stated he had received a phone call from a resident about a sign at the Holiday Gas Station.
He has been told the Station wants to put in higher octane gasoline and there is a request for a change to
their sign. Director Nielsen stated he is aware of a couple of things the Station wants to change. It wants
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 27, 2014
Page 16 of 16
to change the lighting under the canopy to LED lighting. It wants to put up a dynamic sign. The Station
has a violation right now regarding the intensity of the blue light on a sign. People are working through
that to bring that sign into conformity. Zerby stated he thought they wanted to add a new grade of gas for
collector vehicles. Nielsen stated the Station does not need the City's approval for that.
Administrator Joynes noted that the letter from Council regarding the Southshore Community Center
(SSCC) have been mailed to the City Councils of the other four cities that co -own the SSCC with
Shorewood. He stated there is an increase in the number of people calling about possibly renting space in
the SSCC. That could in part be the result of the MMC sending notice to its membership that it will not be
in operation after the end of the year. He noted that Councilmember Hotvet has provided information to
staff about someone possibly wanting to rent space. He stated that he and ;Director Brown will be
involved in AFSCME negotiations on the morning of October 29. He then stated the four -year -old
refrigerator in the break room is no longer functioning and it needs to be replaced. Director Brown stated
he thought it had a two -year warranty but will verify that.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Authorization for Expenditure of Funds, Public Works Mower
Meeting Date: November 10, 2014
Prepared by: Larry Brown, Director of Public Works
Reviewed by:
Attachments CIP Excerpt, Proposal, Proposal by MTI Distributing
Policy Consideration: None
Background: The Public Works Department has scheduled the replacement of a 2003 Groundsmaster
328 riding turf mower, as part of the Equipment Replacement Fund of the 2014 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). Attachment 1 is an excerpt of the 2014 -2018 CIP.
The City of Shorewood is a member of the cooperative purchasing venture that allows cities and
counties to take advantage of bid processes that are conducted through the State of Minnesota. This
allows other agencies to take advantage of the competitive public bidding process that has already been
performed by the State. In addition, the State receives a lower bid price due to economies of scale.
Under this year's State Contract the vendor for this type of equipment is "MTI Distributing." In review of
the equipment under this contract, staff was also able to save approximately $2,000 off the contract
price by consideration of the purchase of a demonstration unit. The unit that is available is in excellent
condition and is the preferred unit.
Attachment 2 is the formal proposal from MTI Distributing for the state contract pricing, minus credit for
the demonstration pricing for a Toro turf machine, in addition to the trade in value for the City's existing
unit. The proposal provided falls well within the amount budgeted.
Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the motion that authorizes the expenditure of
funds in the amount of $14,481.47, and authorizes trade in of Unit 86.
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

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Title / Subject: Gideon Glen Improvements
Meeting Date: 10 November 2014
Prepared by: Brad Nielsen
Reviewed by: Patti Helgesen
Attachments: Planning Director's memorandum
#7A
MEETING TYPE
Regular Meeting
Policy Consideration: Should the City accept a quote from Stonescapes to construct the gravel parking
lot at Gideon Glen?
Background: See attached memorandum for detailed background. It is worth noting that the Park
Commission, having heard at their last meeting that bids for the parking and drainage had been
rejected, voted to recommend that the sign be installed in advance of the other items. To date we have
received an updated quote from the sign contractor, but not the masonry contractor.
Financial or Budget Considerations: In light of the quote we received from Stonescapes, it appears that
the sign and the parking lot can be done for approximately $17,000. The current CIP for Parks includes
$15,000, which the Finance Director is increasing to $20,000 for 2015.
Options: Accept the quote from Stonescapes and direct staff to schedule the work for first thing in the
spring; reject the quote and try again next year.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends acceptance of the quotes for the parking lot
improvements and sign installation. Hopefully, Council will agree to direct us to schedule the work for
first thing this coming spring. Further, if there is any opportunity to install the sign this season, that we
be directed to do so.
Next Steps and Timelines: See above recommendation.
Connection to Vision / Mission: Attractive amenities.
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: Gideon Glen Improvements
FILE NO. Parks (Gideon Glen)
As you are aware, recommended improvements to the Gideon Glen Conservation Open Space have
been considered for nearly two years now. Specifically, the identification sign (similar to those in
our parks) has been held up until a small parking lot can be constructed. The parking lot has been
stalled until erosion problems with the interpretive trail can be corrected. I Bids recently received for
the parking lot and drainage fix were nothing short of outrageous. As you recall, the single quote
we received proposed $25,000 for the culvert installation and another $25,000 for the Class V
parking lot. Understandably, the Council rejected those bids.
As we began discussions regarding the possibility of having Public Works do the work, Justin
Mangold, our Park Commission Chair, asked if his company, Stonescapes, could provide a quote
on the parking lot project. His quote, attached, is far more reasonable. Larry Brown has indicated
that Public Works can do whatever street sweeping may be necessary.
The sign contractor has agreed to hold his price, although we have not heard back from the masonry
contractor regarding his original quote. Staff suggests that the Council authorize staff to spend up
to $8000 for the sign: This allows a slight increase from the original quotes. It also puts the two
items near $17,000 whereas only $15,000 has been included in the CIP. Considering the quotes
previously mentioned, $17K sounds quite reasonable and is in line with the amount recommended
by the Park Commission a couple of years ago.
Relative to timing, the contractor is skeptical that the work can be squeezed in this season,
especially given the current weather forecast for next week. As such, this project should be
scheduled for first thing in the spring. I will not be at the meeting on 10 November, but please call
or e -mail me if you have questions. Larry Brown will front this item at Monday night's meeting:

Reviewed by:
Attachments Site Location Map, Proposal by WSB and Associates
Policy Consideration: Should the City Council recommence with the Star Lane and Star Circle
Reconstruction Projects by entering into a contract with WSB and Associates to update the
previous feasibility report completed in 2010?
Background: In 2010, the Shorewood City Council commissioned preparation of a feasibility
report for consideration of reconstruction of Star Lane and Star Circle, in addition to utility
upgrades. Attachment 1 is a site location map for the roadways under consideration.
At that time, the City Council chose not to move forward with the project, due to feedback
received by residents impacted by the project. Since that time, Councimember Woodruff has
requested that this be brought back for consideration by the City Council, as part of the
Roadway Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Therefore, staff has solicited a proposal from WSB and Associates to update the feasibility
report that was completed in 2010. A proposal is attached to this memorandum, as
Attachment 2.
Tasks included in the proposal are as follows:
4- Review the existing conditions of the street pavements, underlying soil conditions, utilities, and
drainage characteristics
4- Review opportunities to improve area drainage
Aij Update the detailed preliminary opinion of potential construction and indirect project costs with
contingencies but excluding costs of acquisition of land due to the variability in land costs.
4- Identify potential for funding sources
Aij Identify owners of parcels along the proposed improvement corridor that may be impacted by
construction.
4- Identify potential need for the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements
Aij Provide updated preliminary assessment roll
Identify the necessary permitting agencies and requirements
4- Prepare preliminary project schedule
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
Revise the existing incomplete Feasibility Report depicting the improvement corridor existing
conditions, proposed improvements, funding requirements and resources, figures depicting the
improvements, and feasibility statements regarding the improvements
Review the determination of the necessity, feasibility, and cost - effectiveness of the project
Preliminary Design:
Aij A topographic survey and geotechnical evaluation was completed in 2010 and will be utilized in its
full capacity for preliminary design.
4- Provide a preliminary horizontal and vertical alignment for up to two street reconstruction options
including preliminary earthwork calculations
Provide preliminary horizontal and vertical alignment for the proposed sanitary, watermain, and
storm sewer improvements only as needed
Aij Coordinate location of private utility company facilities within the improvement corridor. This
coordination will include performing a utility design locate request to provide a quality level D
location for existing utilities.
Update existing preliminary layout and design based upon public comments, City staff review and
engineering judgment for discussion with the Council. Preliminary layout will be a representation
of horizontal and vertical alignments with potential construction limits shown and potential
construction conflicts. Make minor revisions based upon Council direction.
4- Conduct a feasibility level drainage design
Public Involvement and Project Management:
Project management and coordination /meetings with City staff and the City Council.
4- Attendance of two public information meetings with residents to discuss the project and receive
comments regarding the design approach and proposed design. The goal is to have an
informational meeting before beginning preliminary design and one meeting prior to Feasibility
Report presentation to the Council.
Aij Attend one Public Hearing and provide a brief presentation on the Feasibility Report.
Financial Considerations: The services pertaining to geotechnical borings /evaluation and sanitary
sewer televising were completed in 2010.
WSB is proposing to complete the work on a cost - reimbursable basis in accordance with our current fee
schedule. The estimated fees for preparation of the Preliminary Design and Feasibility Report update
equal $11,600. If approved, this would be funded from the Roadway Capital Improvement Program.
Options:
1. Accept the proposal, as presented.
2. Reject the proposal and provide staff with alternative direction.
Recommendation:
Given the public feedback that was received in 2010, staff is seeking Council direction regarding
the proposal.

Re: Proposal for Feasibility Report Updates & Preliminary Design Services

Tel : 651 - 286 -8450
Fax 651-286-8488
WSB & Associates, Inc. is pleased to provide you with our proposal for the preparation of a Feasibility
Report and Preliminary Design for the 2015 Utility and Street Improvements. The proposed
improvements are for the reconstruction of Star Lane and Star Circle located off of Smithtown Road
between Fairway Drive and Club Lane, in accordance with the City's 2015 Capital Improvement Plan and
Pavement Management Plan.
Project Understanding
The condition of the street along Star Lane and Star Circle has deteriorated to a point in which the City
has requested a review of reconstruction options for both the street pavements and utilities along this
corridor. To complete this task, the City has requested a proposal to assist in reviewing the condition of
both the street and utility systems. We understand the scope of our services is to include preliminary
design, public involvement, updates to the existing draft feasibility report completed in 2010, utilization
of the existing topographic survey /geotechnical evaluation, and the necessary information to meet the
requirements of the Minnesota Chapter 429 Special Assessment Statutes. The following represents a
detailed account of our understanding of the scope of services.
Proposed Services
Our proposed services include updating the draft feasibility report completed in 2010, utilizing the
existing topographic survey, and providing the appropriate level of preliminary design services to
consider street and utility reconstruction options.
Feasibility Report:
A draft feasibility report was completed in 2010 and the list below represents the level of updates
required to deliver a current report.
• Review the existing conditions of the street pavements, underlying soil conditions, utilities, and
drainage characteristics
• Review opportunities to improve area drainage
• Update the detailed preliminary opinion of potential construction and indirect project costs with
contingencies but excluding costs of acquisition of land due to the variability in land costs.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item
Title / Subject: Certification of Delinquent Charges
Meeting Date: November 10, 2014
Prepared by: Bruce DeJong
Reviewed by: Michelle Nguyen
Attachment: Certification List
Policy Consideration:
Should the City certify delinquent charges to the County to be collected with the other taxes on the
property?
Background: State statute and city code allow delinquent charges to be certified to the County Auditor.
It is our standard practice to certify delinquent charges to the County each year.
Staff is also performing two certifications at the request of the City of Chanhassen. Similar to last year,
there is one property that receives service from Chanhassen, but is physically located in Shorewood.
This property received the full notification and opportunity to discuss the situation with the Chanhassen
City Council, but has chosen the route of certification. We will certify this item to the property taxes and
remit payments to Chanhassen next year as they are received.
Financial or Budget Considerations:
Other collection methods are more expensive and time consuming. There is no guarantee that staff
phone calls or the use of collection agencies will generate the same amount of revenue as certification.
Options: The City Council may choose to:
1. Accept the staff recommendation and adopt the attached resolution.
2. Remove specific accounts from the certification roll and accept the remainder of the accounts
and adopt the amended resolution.
3. Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff to attempt collection through other methods.
Recommendation / Action Requested:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution as submitted by staff.
Next Steps and Timelines:
Staff will proceed with the certification process to meet Hennepin County and statutory deadlines.
Connection to Vision / Mission:
This process contributes to sound financial management through efficient collection of utility bills.
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.

Re: September, 2014 Quarterly Investment Report
The City's cash reserves have been invested in both cash flow type of investments to meet
ongoing expenditure needs and longer -term securities with higher returns than money market
funds. It is important to remember our investment priorities in order of concern:
1. Safety — preserving principal;
2. Liquidity — having funds available when needed to pay expenses;
3. Yield — earning market returns for the amount of risk we are willing to accept.
With the investments that the City currently in the portfolio, and with our philosophy of holding
investments to maturity, we are exposed to minimal risk of principal loss. The only expected
change is when investments are marked to market and gains or losses are recognized at year end.
Most older bonds available in the secondary market are priced at a "premium" because they
make interest payments based on higher rates than current bond issues. That differential is why
we were able to refund our water revenue bonds last year. These secondary bond issues often
come with a higher return to likely call or maturity than newly issued bonds. When that
differential is significant, staff has purchased some of these bonds. While the financial
statements show a loss against the purchase price that is just an amortization of the premium that
the bonds were purchased at. The overall interest return on these investments is higher than the
interest available in other investments at the time they were purchased. The net interest over the
life of the bond is higher than newly issued bonds, certificates of deposit, or money market
returns.
In general, the city has only had three months where cash flow is positive — June, July, and
December. Those months are when we receive tax settlements which are just prior to scheduled
bond payments. The rest of the months need about $500,000 on average to cover operating
costs. This means that the City should have a mix of callable and non - callable investments with
both short-term cash flow needs being met and longer maturities targeting major cash needs over
the five year maximum investment horizon.
As the Federal Reserve Board continues the reduction in quantitative easing we are more
frequently finding investments in the three to five year time frame with interest rates in excess of
1.25 %. I have purchased several high coupon bonds at a premium that are returning over 2% to
maturity. These bonds will have the premium amortized over the next several years. I have
purchased Certificates of Deposit to specific months for cash flow needs.
We have held a significant amount of cash and money market while we keep looking for
investments with a reasonable yield. With wire transfer fees, the cost to move money may be
higher than the interest we can earn in the short term. The most significant risk in this
environment is getting stuck with investments at a very low rate when interest rates start to
increase. Staff will invest these funds to increase the portfolio returns, while maintain flexibility
to cover expenditures.
We keep money available for bond payments in January and February and operating
expenditures through June since the first property tax payment does not come from Hennepin
County until late June.

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Boulder Cove Update — Strawberry Lane
Meeting Date: November 10, 2014
Prepared by: Paul Hornby
Reviewed by:
Attachments: Council Agenda Item 3D — 7/14/14, Future Typical roadway Section Sketch for
Strawberry Lane, Traffic Study
Background: The City of Chanhassen approved the boulder Cove subdivision project in 2014, and as part
of their review process asked the City of Shorewood to review plans and provide comments back to the
City for their consideration for inclusion in the development requirements.
The City staff review comments included the following:
1. Realignment of the intersection to provide a standard and safer intersection of Strawberry
Court, Strawberry lane and West 62nd Street.
2. Drainage of the development was to remain in Chanhassen.
3. Hydrant relocation to meet future Strawberry Lane alignment
4. Minor private utility relocations
5. Stop signs for the intersection (Strawberry Lane, Strawberry Court, West 62nd Street)
6. Resident tree relocation for screening
Current construction status of the development:
1. Chanhassen and Shorewood utility work is complete
Concrete curb and gutter is constructed
3. Paving of the roadway is anticipated the week of November 3rd
4. Restoration is to follow as weather permits
Staff has received some concerns from Council about the way the roadway aligns with the adjacent
Shorewood property owner, just north of the subdivision. The work completed is in general
conformance with the plans approved, but we are working with the City of Chanhassen to soften the
impacts. The request includes removal of the concrete curb and constructing a truncated bituminous
taper with bituminous curb and restoration of the boulevard. This alignment is a temporary condition
until reconstruction of Strawberry lane is completed. The typical section for the future section of
Strawberry lane is enclosed for your information.
Recommendation /Action Requested: This information is provided as an update to the Council for this
City of Chanhassen project.
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

City of Shorewood Council Meeting Item Regular Meeting
Title / Subject: Authorize Expenditure of Funds — Strawberry Lane tree replacement request
Meeting Date: July 14, 2014
Prepared by: Paul Hornby
Reviewed by:
Attachments: Tree relocation exhibit, Resolution 14 -_
Background: The City of Shorewood staff has previously reviewed and provided comments on the plans
for the Bolder Cove subdivision, just south of the City of Shorewood border with Chanhassen. Our
review comments required the reconfiguration of the Strawberry Lane and West 62nd Street intersection
to provide an alignment that meets current intersection design guidelines and future needs for the
reconstruction of Strawberry Lane. The reconfigured intersection will ultimately be a tee, but includes
tapers in the interim period between the construction of the development and future reconstruction of
Strawberry Lane.
As a result of these modifications, the property at the northeast corner of the intersection will lose
screening provided by three significant pine trees within the City right of way. The existing trees screen
headlights from turning vehicles from shining into the windows of the house and will be removed with
the intersection construction.
Staff has met with the developer and the property owner and propose replacement of the trees outside
of the right of way with 6 -foot tall to 8 -foot tall pine trees. The developer will agree to install the trees
as part of their subdivision, if the City pays for the trees at the development landscape costs. Although
the City typically does not replace trees that need to be removed from the right of way, the significant
amount of turning traffic that travels through this intersection would justify this exception.
Financial or Budget Considerations: Lennar has provided budgetary costs for furnishing and installing
replacement pine trees, balled /burlapped, 6' to 8' tall. The budgetary cost is $350 to $400 per tree or
$1,050 to $1,200.
Recommendation / Action Requested: Staff recommends the City Council authorize the expenditure of
funds for the replacement of the trees at a cost not to exceed $1,200.
Next Steps and Timelines: The existing trees are proposed for removal with the utility and street
construction, estimated to occur in August, 2014.
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

TRAFFIC STUDY COMPANY
Technical Memorandum
To: Paul Tabone, Lennar
From: Mike Spack, P.E., P.T.O.E.
Date: April 23, 2014
Re: Traffic Impact Study for Boulder Cove in Chanhassen, MN
Purpose of Report and Study Objectives
Lennar is proposing to build 31 single family homes north of Highway 7 and east of Church Road in
Chanhassen, MN. The homes will be built along a new cul -de -sac street named Strawberry Court.
Construction of Strawberry Court will convert the 62nd Street /Strawberry Lane curve into a tee
intersection with the east /west 62nd Street teeing into the north /south Strawberry Court /Strawberry
Lane road. The purpose of this study is to determine what stop sign configuration should be placed at
this new intersection.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The proposed 62nd Street /Strawberry Lane /Strawberry Court intersection will have low traffic volumes
after Boulder Cove is built. Assuming the tee intersection is built with clear sight lines, no criteria are
met for installing stop signs at the intersection. Therefore, it is recommended the proposed tee
intersection be operated as an uncontrolled intersection.
Existing Traffic Volumes
Turning movement count data was extracted from a Tuesday, April 15, 2014 recording of the study
intersection. The attached turning movement count data from midnight to midnight is shown in fifteen
minute intervals.
Site Traffic Forecasting
A trip generation analysis was performed for the site based on the methods and rates published in the
ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9r" Edition. The resultant trip generation is shown in Table 1.
Table 1— Vehicles Generated by Boulder Cove
210 Single Family Homes 148 148 6 17 20 11
(31 Dwellin.R Units)
Spack Consulting 2 of 4 Boulder Cove Traffic Study
Based on the existing turning movement counts as well as taking into account site access and access to
the regional transportation system, the expected distribution pattern for traffic at the site is:
• 50% to /from the west on 62nd Street
• 50% to /from the north on Strawberry Lane
The peak hour traffic generated by the development was assigned to the area roadways per the
distribution pattern and then added to the study intersection. Given the built out nature of the land
surrounding the study intersection, it is assumed the background traffic will remain constant after the
development is built. To develop the post redevelopment traffic volumes at the study intersection, the
traffic generated by the redevelopment was added to the existing traffic at the intersection to develop
the post redevelopment traffic scenario. The peak hour turning movement volumes at the study
intersection are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
Table 2 — A.M. Peak Hour Traffic Volumes
Table 3 — P.M. Peak Hour Traffic Volumes
To develop the hourly approach volumes for the all way stop signal warrant analysis, the daily volumes
generated to the site were distributed to 62nd Street and Strawberry Lane per the distribution pattern
combined with the existing hourly traffic usage at the intersection. The resultant approach volumes
are shown in Table 4.

Forecasted Level of Service Capacity Analyses
An intersection capacity analysis was conducted for the study intersection per the Highway Capacity
Manual. Intersections are assigned a "Level of Service" letter grade for the peak hour of traffic based
on the number of lanes at the intersection, traffic volumes, and traffic control. Level of Service A (LOS
A) represents light traffic flow (free flow conditions) while Level of Service F (LOS F) represents heavy
traffic flow (over capacity conditions). LOS D at intersections is typically considered acceptable in the
Twin Cities region. Individual movements are also assigned LOS grades. One or more individual
movements typically operate at LOS F when the overall intersection is operating acceptably at LOS D.
The forecast turning movement volumes shown in Tables 2 and 3 were used in the LOS calculations.
The LOS calculations were done in accordance with the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual using VISTROTM
software. Note, the Highway Capacity Manual does not provide for two out of three approaches being
stop sign controlled at a tee intersection nor no stop signs at an intersection. The complete LOS
calculations, which include grades for individual movements, are attached. It was assumed each leg of
the intersection has a single lane approaching the intersection.

1The first letter is the Level of Service for the intersection. The second letter (in parentheses) is the Level of Service for the
worst operating movement.
The results in Table 5 show the intersection will operate with little delay no matter what stop sign
configuration is used. Although the Highway Capacity Manual does not calculate delay at uncontrolled
intersections, it is believed the volumes are light enough that the intersection would operate with little
delay with no stop signs at the intersection.
Forecasted Side Street Stop Sign Warrant Analysis
Based on Section 213.4 of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, side street stop
sign control should be considered at the proposed intersection of two local streets when either of the
following conditions is anticipated:
• The combined vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all
approaches is more than 2,000 units per day.
• The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to stop
or yield in compliance with the normal right -of -way rule if such stopping or yielding is
necessary.
The forecasts from Table 4 show the intersection will have less than 900 vehicles approaching it per day
after Boulder Cove is built. Since the third leg is not built yet and the terrain is relatively flat, it is
assumed the intersection can be built with clear sight lines. Therefore, neither criteria is expected to
be met for justifying stop sign control at the intersection.
Forecasted All Way Stop Sign Warrant Analysis
A multi -way stop sign warrant analysis was completed for the 62nd Street /Strawberry Lane intersection
per the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices with city supplied crash data and the
approach volume forecasts in Table 2. The results of the analyses are:
• Criteria A — Interim measure until traffic signal is installed: The forecast traffic volumes will not
meet the criteria for installing a traffic signal, therefore this criteria is not met.
• Criteria B — Five or more reported crashes in a 12 month period that could be corrected by all
way stop sign installation: Crash records are not reviewed because it is not an existing
intersection.
• Criteria C — 300 vehicles per hour on the major street approaches and 200 vehicles per hour on
the minor street approaches for each of at least eight hours per day plus minor street delay of
at least 30 seconds per vehicle in the peak hour: Based on the forecasts in Table 4, the criteria
is not close to being met.
• Criteria D — 80% of Criteria B and C are met: This criteria is not close to being met.
