Agenda Item #3A: Enclosed is the Verified Claims List for Council approval.
Agenda Item #313: Beginning in 2006, the Legislature requires that cities have an "elected officials
out -of -state travel policy", and that it be reviewed annually. The Council adopted the policy in
2006, and it was adapted from a model prepared by the League of Minnesota Cities. No
changes have been made since its adoption (Resolution No. 06 -004). No further action is
required at this time unless the Council wishes to make modifications to it.
Agenda Item #3C: At a recent meeting, the Southshore Community Center (SCC) Oversight
Committee discussed the need for directional street signs for the SCC. Kristi Anderson,

related to Hennepin County permit fees and hardware /posts. Staff recommends approval
of the request.
Agenda Item #3D: Act on recommendation for staff compensation as discussed in Executive
Session.
Agenda Item #3E: Proposal to "officially" turn over the operation and deployment of the

deployment in Greenwood, Tonka Bay, and Excelsior without having to check first with
us to see if it is ok.
Agenda Item #31 As part of a federal mandate, Hennepin County has prepared an All- Hazard
Mitigation Plan to be included in each city's emergency operations plan. The original plan
was adopted by the city in 2004. Required updates to the plan were recently completed
and approved by the County Board of Commissioners. In order to be eligible for future
disaster funding by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the city must
adopt the updated plan. SLMPD Chief Litsey is designated as Shorewood's Director of
Emergency Management, and is recommending that the Council approve the plan. An
executive summary of the plan is provided. The entire plan, which is hundreds of pages, is
available on a CD.

Mayor Lizee noted that both Councilmembers served on the Planning Commission prior to serving on the
Council.
Councilmember Turgeon expressed her sincere thanks to the City's taxpayers. She stated it was
enjoyable, an honor and a privilege. She wished the residents well and the incoming Council the best of
luck, noting Council had challenging times ahead.
Councilmember Bailey expressed his appreciation to the residents and City staff. He stated he had an
enjoyable time serving on the Council and before that on the Planning Commission. He wished staff well.
B. Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission Activities Report by
Representative Ken Hendrickson
Mayor Lizee introduced Ken Hendrickson, the City's Representative on the Lake Minnetonka
Communications Commission (LMCC), who was present to give an update on LMCC activities.
Mr. Hendrickson stated the cable franchise for Mediacom is up for renewal in 2013. The renewal process
is regulated by both Federal and State law and it takes about 30 — 36 months to do. It's a complex process.
He noted the LMCC has not yet received a renewal proposal from Mediacom to provide cable network
services. He stated if the LMCC were to deny the renewal that is also a long and involved formal process.
He then stated the LMCC has never had more leverage for negotiating.
Mr. Hendrickson then stated the LMCC is kicking of

Mr. Hendrickson stated Mediacom has proposed an increase in its late fee, but to date the LMCC has not
received any justification for it. There was a Mediacom large outage on November 3r which was caused
by a truck loaded with Christmas trees taking down a cable. A second outage was required to fix the
cable. On October 27 the LMCC was notified by Mediacom of a $2.00 increase for its basic service and
$1.00 for its expanded service.
Mr. Hendrickson then stated the cable franchise renewal is for a period of fifteen years. It will be a time
of rapid change and he's not sure the LMCC wants to be committed to one service provider for that long.
The cable companies are making a concerted effort to make cable franchising a state -wide process. He did
not recommend making it a state -wide process.
In response to a question from Councilmember Bailey, Mr. Hendrickson explained the LMCC has one
cable franchise today. Mound has its own cable franchise and it has agreed to pay some of its franchise
fees to the LMCC for the television programming the LMCC does and for the interfacing it does with

Mediacom. The cable service providers want to make that a state -wide process. The providers would deal
with the State of Minnesota rather than organizations like the LMCC.
Councilmember Bailey asked what the LMCC's top priorities are in the renewal process. Mr.
Hendrickson responded quality of service, an acceptable cost and customer service.
7. PARKS
No report was given as there has not been a Park Commission meeting since the last Council meeting.
The next meeting is scheduled for December 14, 2010.
8. PLANNING
Commissioner Hutchins reported on matters considered and actions taken at the December 7, 2010,
Planning Commission meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting).
A. Zoning Ordinance Amendment Pertaining to Nonconforming Buildings and Uses
Director Nielsen stated the Planning Committee held a public hearing on December 7, 2010, to consider
amendments to the City's Zoning Code to update the provisions in the Code relative to nonconforming
buildings, structures and uses to comply with State law. The proposed Ordinance will make the Code
consistent with State law. The current Ordinance states a nonconforming structure cannot be rebuilt if it's
destroyed to more than 50 percent of its ''value. The intent of the current Ordinance is to bring
nonconforming structures into compliance. In 2006 the State law changed and the City became aware of
the change this year. The Court has ruled that a city has to allow a nonconforming structure to be rebuilt
to its former extent. The City is not obligated to allow the expansion of nonconforming structures and the
proposed Ordinance does not allow that.
He explained the draft Ordinance contains a provision allowing nonconforming structures to be moved,
even if full compliance cannot be achieved, when the move would result in improved compliance with
zoning standards. The Planning Commission recommended including this provision. This provision
would have some impact on agenda Item 8.0 for the Gideon Cove Homeowners Association (HOA).
Turgeon moved, Woodruff seconded, Approving the Fourth Draft of ORDINANCE NO. 472 "An
Ordinance' Amending the Shorewood Zoning Code as it Pertains to Nonconforming Buildings,
Structures and Uses."
Councilmember Woodruff stated he has reservations about this but because of the change to the State law
in 2006 the City has to change its current Ordinance. The fourth draft of the proposed Ordinance is better
than what the City has.
Councilmember Bailey expressed he thought it unfortunate that the State law changed. Because of the
change the City has lost a valuable tool in making the City more livable. He understood it's
uncomfortable for property owners to bring their property into conformance with City Code. He stated he
thought the City reduced a lot of clutter by asking property owners to bring things into compliance. The
City is now more open. He then stated he thought the Planning Commission did the right thing. The State
law is the State law. To the extent possible, he thought the City would be better off by asking property
owners to bring things into conformance.
Motion passed 510.

B. Zoning Ordinance Amendment Requiring Trash Enclosures
Director Nielsen explained the Planning Commission worked on an ordinance amendment requiring trash
receptacles to be kept inside an enclosure when located outside. The amendment requires receptacles to
be located at the rear or side of a building; not at the front. This does not pertain to single - family or two -
family dwellings. There is a provision in the amendment for single - family or two - family dwellings that
allows trash receptacles to encroach into the five -yard setback. The amendment recommended by the
Commission allows residents to place their receptacles at the curb on the designated refuse collection day
and required removal no later than 12 hours after the designated day. He noted Councilmember Woodruff
requested the amendment be revised to allow residents to place them at the curb twelve hours before the
designated day. He stated the meeting packet contains a copy of the amendment recommended by the
Commission as well as a third draft of the amendment which includes the provision recommended by
Woodruff.
Nielsen noted the Planning Commission did not want the proposed Ordinance to be too onerous for
business owners. He also noted business owners would have until July 1, 2011, to come into compliance
with the proposed amendment should Council adopt the Ordinance. Notices will be sent out to the owners
right away. He stated other than the one person who spoke at the Public Hearing held by the Planning
Commission on this matter on December 7 the City did not receive negative feedback on the proposed
Ordinance.

Councilmember Zerby stated in Section 2.f.2 there is a statement that talks about "The outdoor storage of
junk in yards..." The term "junk" is not defined there. Director Nielsen explained that section is not
being changed. Nielsen noted that in Chapter 501 in the Code there is a list of what is considered junk.
C. Variance Request for Gideon Cove
Applicant: Gideon Cove Homeowners Association
Location: Outlots A -C, Lawtonka
Director Nielsen stated Council approved an Ordinance amending the Shorewood Zoning Code as it
pertains to nonconforming buildings, structures and uses (Item 8.A on the agenda) earlier this evening.
Therefore, a variance request by the Gideon Cove Homeowners Association (HOA) is no longer
necessary. This item now becomes a site plan review.
Nielsen explained that the HOA proposes the replacement of two nonconforming structures on its
common area peninsula on Gideon's Bay with one structure. The proposed structure complies better, but
not fully, with the City's zoning standards. The proposed structure would be located further back on the
peninsula and provide a setback of slightly more than 31 feet from the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka on
each side and 40 feet from the right -of -way of Timber Lane.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
December 13, 2010
Page 6 of 14
Nielsen then explained the Planning Commission asked if the proposed structure is as small as it can be.
In particular, the Commission wondered if there is a need for the space in the middle of the storage area
between the lockers. The HOA explained it has common equipment that needs to be stored in that area.
Nielsen stated the Planning Commission has recommended approval of the site plan as proposed subject
to the conditions outlined in the Staff report. Staff recommends the HOA present a landscape plan that
would further reduce the impact of the new structure and restore the shoreline where the current buildings
are located. The HOA property exists as three outlots with separate property identification numbers. Staff
recommends the three parcels be legally combined prior to the permit being issued. He then stated that the
Commission recommends the fence that strays onto the right -of -way be moved on to the HOA property.
He noted the HOA appears to be agreeable to all three conditions.
Mayor Lizee noted representatives from the HOA were

D. Status of Zoning Compliance
Applicant: Gale Olson, Jr.
Location: 25755 Birch Bluff Road
Director Nielsen stated that he and Administrator Heck met with Mr. Gale Olson, Jr. and his mother to
discuss the nuisance and zoning violations at 25755 Birch Bluff Road. They discussed a number of the
items on the original notice, noting some of the items have been resolved. Since this item was last
discussed during the November 22, 2010, Council meeting, Mr. Olson has constructed a fence to screen
off some of the outdoor storage he put up another shelter for a small tractor with a front -end loader.
Director Nielsen stated this adds to the number of accessory structures on his property, noting this is still
an issue that will need to be resolved. Mr. Olson has made progress in trying to resolve the violations.
Two vehicles were cited as being in violation. Staff incorrectly recorded the license plate number on one
trailer that is actually owned by Mr. Olson. The other vehicle is registered to someone else and is being
used by Mr. Olson's brother -in -law who lives in the house. It's on loan to him from another brother -m-
law. An effort is underway to transfer the title to the resident brother -in -law.
Nielsen then stated Mr. Olson has made progress with regard to the complaint the City received. Staff
recommends it continue to work' with Mr. Olson toward resolving the other violations.
Administrator Heck stated Mr. Olson provided evidence that one structure and some materials stacked
around that structure are not on his property. The neighbors cleaned up that area. The equipment that Staff
thought did not belong to someone living on the property does belong to them.
There was Council consensus to have Staff continue to work with the Mr. Olson.
E. Zoning Violation Appeal
Applicant: Bill Mason
Location: 27680 Island View Road

Mayor Lizee noted that per Bill Mason's request his zoning violation appeal has been rescheduled. It will
likely be on the January 24, 2011, City Council meeting agenda.
9. ENGINEERING /PUBLIC WORKS
A. Island Sanitary Sewer Repairs
Engineer Landini stated during the televising of the sanitary sewer system located out on the Islands 44
defects were identified. He explained that four firms were invited to quote on repairing the defects and
three firms provided a quote. The low quote was received from Visu- Sewer, Inc., in an amount of $24,545
to complete the 44 repairs.
Landini then stated Staff recommends Council direct Staff to
sewer repairs not to exceed $30,000.
Bailey moved, Turgeon seconded, directing Staff to
sewer repairs for an amount not to exceed $30,000.

Councilmember Woodruff stated the lease agreement stipulates the lease rate escalates by five percent

lease rates so that the lease rate for new carriers are not lower than the rates for existing lessees.
Woodruff moved, Turgeon seconded, increasing the lease rates for telecommunication facilities on
the City's water towers 10 $26,600 annually.
Administrator Heck stated he, Director DeJong and, Director Nielsen discussed adjusting the lease rate
annually.
Motion passed 510.
B. Financing Agreement for Excelsior Fire District Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
December 13, 2010
Page 8 of 14
Administrator Heck stated during the November 17, 2010, Excelsior Fire District (EFD) Board meeting
the Board changed the replacement cycle for self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in the EFD
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to a ten year cycle from a fifteen year cycle and it authorized the
acquisition of the SCBAs through a lease - purchase financing arrangement. EFD Chief Gerber and the
EFD Board cited the age of the equipment and concerns regarding health and safety as the reasons to
replace the equipment in 2011 rather than 2014. The lease - purchase arrangement was discussed and
approved because the EFD does not have sufficient funds to purchase the equipment now.
Heck said the financial analysis prepared comparing the costs to purchase and lease - purchase was based
on a 4.49 financing rate. He explained that he had suggested to Councilmembers Bailey and Zerby, the
City's representative and alternate on the EFD Board, that the City should consider financing the
acquisition of the equipment on behalf of the EFD at a significantly lower financing rate. This would save
the EFD and the EFD member cities money.
Heck went on to state that he had spoken with Deephaven

$160,000 incremental cost for changing the replacement cycle and financing the acquisition with a lease -
purchase arrangement. He noted the EFD Boardmembers, who represent the member cities, approved the
change to the replacement cycle and going with a lease - purchase financing arrangement.
Councilmember Turgeon reiterated that she thought all the member cities should have had the opportunity
to discuss this.
Administrator Heck stated that EFD Chief Gerber and EFD Fiscal Agent Young prepared a
comprehensive financial analysis comparing the costs of 15 -year purchase option and a 10 -year lease -
purchase option. He explained the EFD joint powers organization and the EFD Board makes these types

of decisions. Member city councils can be made aware of what is happening but they do not have the
authority to override decisions the EFD Board makes. That is the same for the South Lake Minnetonka
Police Department Coordinating Committee.
Heck then stated that Deephaven City Administrator Young has contacted the Deephaven City Attorney
to verify if it's legal for Deephaven to participate in a lease purchase agreement with the EFD. He noted
that Attorney Tietjen stated the City can do the lease - purchase financing. He stated he thought Deephaven
and Shorewood were the only member cities that could provide the financing for the acquisition. The
other three member cities are willing to have the City or Deephaven finance the acquisition because it
would save the EFD and ultimately the member cities money. If this was handled through a competitive

Councilmember Woodruff stated when Staff comes back with the proposed agreement he would also like
Staff to discuss where the money would come from. He explained a decision was made during the budget
process not to fund the Equipment Fund at the level it needs to be funded. Staff's recommendation is to
fund the SCBA acquisition out of that Fund. He suggested Council consider funding it out of the
Community Infrastructure Fund.
Councilmember Bailey stated he thought Administrator Heck was very resourceful in bringing this idea
forward.
Motion passed 510.

C. GASB 54 Discussion
Director DeJong stated the meeting packet includes a document describing the GASB 54 changes that
will be implemented for preparing the City's financial statements. He explained there are two major
components. Component one is fund balance designations. The City doesn't have any special revenue
funds. Special revenue funds need to have designated revenue sources going in to them. The remainder of
the funds will be listed as assigned fund balance for a specific purpose. There is nothing that really has to
be done at this time.
DeJong then explained the second major component is a change in fund type definitions. He indicated the
Liquor Fund is listed as an enterprise fund, however, there are no revenues coming into the fund except
for interest and thus does not qualify as an enterprise. He explained if the Liquor Fund remains as is, it is
likely the funds would move to the General Fund increasing the General Fund balance well above the
level specified in the General Fund Balance Policy. Staff proposes moving the funds in the Liquor Fund
into the Community Infrastructure Fund.
DeJong stated guidelines have not been established for the use of the Community Infrastructure Fund. It's
his understanding that there had been discussion that the Fund could be used to make revolving loans. He
noted there are challenges with the City trying to repay that Fund with interest from another City fund. He
stated Staff needs to research this further. He then stated using funds in the Infrastructure Fund to finance
the lease - purchase of the Excelsior Fire District's self contained breathing apparatus equipment is most in
line with what the Fund should be used for.
DeJong stated Staff recommends transferring the balance of approximately $840,000 in the Liquor Fund
to the Community Infrastructure Fund with the balance to remain unspent, except for a $40,000 transfer to
the General Fund as authorized by the 2011 General; Fund Budget.
Turgeon moved, Woodruff seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 10 -058 "A Resolution
Authorizing Liquor Fund Equity Transfer." Motion passed 510.
D. Delegation of Authority for Paying Certain Claims
Director DeJong stated the City has 2005A and 2006A General Obligation Water Revenue bond
payments due on January 1, 2011. Staff is asking for the authority to make the payments by wire transfer.
He explained that Minnesota Statutes Chapter 412 allows Council to delegate the authority to pay certain
claims outside of the normal process of brinizina all claims back to the Council. He stated Staff is also
asking for the authority to make payments on a regular basis for regular claims when a Council meeting is
not held because of lack of business. State Statute stipulates claims have to be paid within 35 days of
receipt. These claims would be presented to Council for confirmation during its next regular meeting.
Turgeon moved, Zerby'seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 10 -059 "A Resolution Delegating
Authority for Paying Certain Claims."
Councilmember Woodruff asked if the bond payments are made by the Shorewood Economic
Development Authority (EDA) or by the City. Director DeJong reiterated the payments are for the
General Obligation Water Revenue bonds. Woodruff stated the EDA should pass a similar resolution.
DeJong stated the EDA will meet in January 2011.
Motion passed 510.

E. City Administrator's Performance Evaluation
Mayor Lizee stated the City is required by contract with Administrator Heck to perform a performance
evaluation by the full City Council each December. Council met in executive session on December 6,
2010, and again prior to this meeting to finalize the evaluation. Heck joined this evening's executive
session part way through to hear the evaluation. She then stated that Councilmember Woodruff has
requested that he provide a report on sessions.
Councilmember Woodruff stated Council did meet to review Administrator Heck's performance. The
average of the Councilmembers' ratings indicates his performance to be at the high end of meeting
expectations. He then stated Council needs to consider extending Heck's contract which expires at the end
of 2010. Council also needs to take action, if it wants, on making any salary change to take effect in 2011
and any other salary actions Council deems appropriate.
Woodruff moved, Turgeon seconded, extending City Administrator Brian Heck's contract with the
City to the end of 2012; increasing his base salary by approximately 6.3 percent ($6,000) effective
January 1, 2011; and, awarding him a one -time performance payment in 2010 in the amount of
$2,500 to recognize the significant strides Heck has made in the City in 2010 with the payment
coming out of the 2010 budget.
Councilmember Bailey stated he enjoyed

trict Water Plan Amendment Proposal
Administrator Heck stated that about a month ago he sent Council information from the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District (MCWD) regarding a proposal to amend their water management plan to include a
section on aquatic invasive species (AIS). The MCWD asked cities within its jurisdiction to submit
comments regarding the proposed amendment to the MCWD by January 7, 2011. Being this is the last
meeting scheduled in 2010 he suggested Council decide if it wants Staff to respond to the MCWD and if
so what should the response be.
Heck explained the proposed amendment would give the MCWD the authority to promulgate rules on
docks, watercraft, and other equipment that use water bodies located in the MCWD to control the spread
of AIS.
Heck stated there are a number of jurisdictions such as the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the
Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD), the Lake Minnetonka Association (LMA), Hennepin
County, cities and others that have some regulatory authority. He questioned how many jurisdictions need
to manage the same things. He stated he wondered if some of the regulatory authority could be combined
and given to one agency. He noted the MCWD has not decided if it would impose any rules.
Mayor Lizee stated the MCWD is seeking input about their proposed amendment. She suggested
Councilmembers direct their comments or questions to Administrator Heck and then Heck can compile
the information and share it with the MCWD. She stated she thought this is just the beginning of a
lengthy discussion on this issue. She then stated there isn't any action Council can take this evening.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
December 13, 2010
Page 12 of 14
Councilmember Woodruff stated when the MCWD was discussing proposed changes to some of its other
rules earlier this year the MCWD expressed frustration that the cities in the MCWD provided their inputs
to the MCWD late in the process. He suggested the City start now if it wants to provide any input into this
process.
Woodruff then stated during its December 8 1h LMCD meeting the board reviewed the proposed
amendment and discussed the potential for the MCWD to have considerable overlap with what other
agencies, including the LMCD, are doing or intend to do. He suggested the City provide something
similar to what's stated in the resolution the LMCD adopted during that meeting. The highlights of the
resolution are as follows.
The LMCD is not in favor of the MCWD unilaterally taking over
amendment. The LMCD encourages the MCWD to work with 1
agencies, including LMCD member cities, to identify ways to use
Minnetonka. The LMCD realizes the MCWD has responsibility

Councilmember Zerby stated he appreciated Councilmember Woodruff presenting the LMCD's position.
He then stated AIS are transported from water body to water body' Therefore, he thought an agency with
broader governance is better suited to deal with AIS on a larger scale. He expressed support for the
MCWD being more involved with the AIS issue. He stated a lot has to do with where the funding comes
from, and he noted the MCWD has a larger tax base'. He clarified that ideally he would like the DNR to
lead the charge on AIS. He thought the MCWD being' more involved is a good step toward that
happening.
Mayor Lizee stated with the explosion of AIS and knowing that there are other threats that are coming to
lakes in Minnesota and the upper Midwest there needs to be an agency working on this that has the staff
and funding to do research. She stated this is just the first step in a process. She expressed her
appreciation for the MCWD stepping up to this challenge, noting the MCWD has the capability to work
with the cities and'vut this in the forefront.
Mayor Lizee expressed she would be
putting together any resolution this evening.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he appreciated Mayor Lizee's position. He then stated the amendment
would create the .potential for overlap of jurisdiction and authority for various activities on Lake
Minnetonka. For example, the MCWD is proposing it be able to regulate docks; the LMCD already
regulates docks as do other entities. He stated based on what he heard during the recent LMCD Board
meeting the MCWD isn't sure it can legally do what it is proposing. He noted he will not force a motion.
G. 2010 Fund Equity Transfers
This item was removed from the consent agenda at Councilmember Woodruff s request.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he has no problem with Staff's recommendation to transfer $68,000
from Fund 499 to Fund 307 to retire debt service. The construction project is complete so the funds
should be applied to the bond payment. He asked Staff to see if the unspent funds can be used differently
or if they can be used to reduce the cities 2011 contributions to the public safety organizations bond
payments based on the formula.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
December 13, 2010
Page 13 of 14
Director DeJong stated he researched the history of the project and reviewed the financial reports dating
back to 2002 and there is no good way to determine, from the City's records, which part of the
construction the funds are from. Staff is recommending allocating the unspent funds based on the original
formula. The amounts are approximately: $5,060,000 for the police public safety facility; $5,245,000 for
the west fire station: and, $2,060,000 for the east fire station. Staff is planning to adjust the invoice bond
payments by the amount already in the bond fund.
Councilmember Woodruff stated the EFD has an unfunded pension liability for the Excelsior Firefighters
Relief Association fund for pensions and it could benefit from some of the unspent funds. He assumed the
SLMPD also has needs. He questioned if it would be better to leave the member cities contributions as is
and redirect the unspent funds to help the organizations with reduce budget constraints. He asked Staff to
work with the SLMPD Coordinating Committee and the EFD Governing Board on this.
Woodruff moved, Bailey seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 10 -056 "A Resolution
Authorizing 2010 Fund Equity Transfers." Motion passed 510.

fill this position, noting enough councilmembers serve on

Attorney Tietjen clarified that these are appointed positions which serve at the pleasure of the Council, and
the act of appointing another individual would have the effect of removing the person currently in the
position; no formal action is needed to remove the person currently in that position.
Woodruff encouraged the Council to consider a councilmember appointment to the LMCD. He indicated
this Board is a little different than others, noting this organization represents the city in making law,
enforcing regulations and taxing residents. He felt it very important that the Council perspective be
brought to the LMCD discussions and encouraged a councilmember to consider volunteering for this,
rather than appointing a resident.

B. City Attorney
Lizee moved, Zerby seconded, to pursue a one -year contract for civil attorney services from Tim
Keane, of Malkerson, Gunn, and Martin, LLP, subject to approval of services at the first Regular
Council meeting on Monday, January 10, 2011.
Lizee noted that Mr. Keane has 16 years of experience as Shorewood City Attorney. She has known and
worked with Mr. Keane since her days as a Planning Commissioner and is confident of his talents and
professionalism. His experience includes the formation of many of Shorewood's ordinances,
Comprehensive Plan, Joint Powers Agreements, and the successful legislative passage of the zero
phosphorus fertilizer in Minnesota. Mr. Keane has maintained relationships with city staff, and has built
positive associations with our neighboring communities, which is critical in this time of community
building and working to share efficiencies. She is confident of his ability to provide exceptional guidance in
matters to be considered in 2011, such as updates to the Police Joint Powers Agreement and other
legislative matters.
Woodruff indicated that Mary Tietjen of Kennedy & Graven has served as City Attorney for the past two
years of a three -year contract. Kennedy & Graven was chosen two years ago when the city requested bids.
Mr. Keane was one of four or five firms that submitted a bid. There is one -year left on that contract and
Kennedy & Graven, and he sees no reason to replace Kennedy & Graven at this time, as they have provided
the service expected at the cost anticipated. He fully supports the Council seeking bids for 2012.
Lizee indicated the City Attorney serves at the will of the Council, and a contract can be changed at any
time for legal services. Lizee reiterated that the appointment of Tim Keane of Malkersen, Gunn and
Martin, LLP, be subject to approval of services to be reviewed at the January 10, 2011, Regular Council
meeting.
Zerby indicated he served for many years with Mr. Keane, and feels Mr. Keane will serve the city well.
Heck noted there is a hearing can Wednesday, January 5` regarding the Johnson case, which Kennedy &
Graven is currently handling. He recommended Kennedv & Graven continue on that case.
Lizee indicated she assumed Kennedy' & Graven would continue to serve the City of Shorewood until
Attornev services are contracted and agreed to.'

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
Department Date Council Meeting Item Number
Administration 1/5/11 1/10/11 #3B
From: Brian Heck, City Administrator
Item Description: Out of State Travel Policy for Council
Background / Previous Action:
In 2005 the Legislature acted to require that beginning in 2006, the governing body of each local
government must have a policy that controls travel outside of Minnesota for the applicable
elected officials. The policy must be voted on for initial adoption, and then reviewed annually.
The policy must specify:
1) when travel outside the state is appropriate
2) applicable expense limits, and
3) procedures for approval of the travel
Council adopted Resolution 06 -004 (attached) stating its policy in 2006. It was developed on the
basis that at least within recent history, members of Shorewood City Council have hardly ever
traveled outside of Minnesota on City business or for training and development opportunities for
their roles as councilmembers. The City Council has neither encouraged nor discouraged out -of-
state travel related to City business for its members. Annual budgets for the City Council have
included funds under "travel, conferences, and schools" so that all councilmembers may attend
functions and conferences throughout Minnesota.
Staff Recommendation
Review of the attached Travel Policy. No action is required unless the City Council makes
amendments to the policy.
Council Action:
CITY OF SHOREWOOD
RESOLUTION NO. 06 - 004
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A POLICY
FOR OUT -OF -STATE TRAVEL
BY MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, an Act by the Minnesota Legislature in 2005 imposes an obligation on cities to
establish an official travel policy for elected officials; and
WHEREAS, the policy must address: (1) when travel outside the state is appropriate; (2)
applicable expense limits; and (3) procedures for approval of the travel; and further must be reviewed
and voted upon annually by the City Council;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Shorewood
that the following policy for out -of -state travel for members of the City Council is hereby established:
Purpose The City of Shorewood recognizes that its elected officials may at times receive value from
traveling out of the state for workshops, conferences, events, and other assignments. This policy sets
forth the conditions under which out -of -state travel will be reimbursed by the City.
General Guidelines
The event, workshop, conference, or assignment must be approved in advance by the City
Council at an open meeting and must include an estimate of the cost of the travel. In
evaluating the out -of -state travel request, the Council will consider the following:
• Whether the elected official will be receiving training on issues relevant to the City or
to his or her role as the mayor or council member.
• Whether the elected official will be meeting and working with other elected officials
from around the country to exchange ideas on topics of relevance to the City or on the
official roles of local elected officials.
• Whether the elected official will be viewing a facility or function that is similar in
nature to one that is currently operating at, or under consideration by, the City where
the purpose for the trip is to study the facility or function to bring back ideas for the
consideration of the full Council.
• Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the Council to visit
another city for the purpose of establishing a goodwill relationship, such as a "sister
city" relationship.
• Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the Council to testify on
behalf of the City at the United States Congress or otherwise to meet with federal
officials on behalf of the City.
• Whether the City has sufficient funding available in the budget to pay the cost of the
trip.
2. No reimbursements will be made for attendance at events sponsored by or affiliated with
political parties.
3. The City may make payments in advance for airfare, lodging, and registration if specifically
approved by the Council. Otherwise, all payments will be made as reimbursements to the
elected official.
4. The City will reimburse for transportation, lodging, meals, registration, and incidental costs as
follows:
a) Airfare will be reimbursed at the coach rate.
b) Mileage will be reimbursed at the IRS rate. If two or more council members
travel by car, only the driver will receive reimbursement. The City will
reimburse for the cost of renting an automobile if necessary to conduct City
business.
c) Lodging and meal costs are limited to those which are reasonable and
necessary.
d) Receipts are required for lodging, airfare, parking, and meals and should
accompany an expense report form. It is not necessary to have receipts for
public transportation, cabs and tips. The expense report shall be submitted to
the City Clerk or Finance Department for payment.
e) The City will not reimburse for alcoholic beverages, personal telephone calls,
costs associated with the attendance of a family member, rental of luxury
vehicles, meal expenses included in the cost of registration, or recreational
expenses such as golf or tennis.
5. Exceptions to this policy can be made by majority vote of the City Council.
6. This policy shall be reviewed by the City Council at its first meeting in January of each year,
and amendments to the policy must be made by Resolution of the City Council.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHORE W OD this 9' day of
January, 2006.

Item Description: Southshore Center Directional Street Signs
Background / Previous Action:
At a recent meeting, the Southshore Community Center Oversight Committee (consisting of
Councilmembers Woodruff and Zerby, Finance Director Bruce DeJong, myself, and Kristi Anderson, CRR)
discussed the need for directional street signs for the Southshore Community Center. The attached
memorandum from Kristi Anderson, Director, is a request for the purchase and installation of said signs.
Funds are available in the Public Facilities budget for this purchase, estimated at $803, plus any
additional costs related to Hennepin County permit fees and hardware /posts.
Staff Recommendation
Approval of the request from Kristi Anderson, CRR, for directional street signs for the Southshore
Community Center.

Re: Request for Directional Metal Street Signs and Posts
Tie fir* OW 060 r NVAW
As a follow -up to a recent Oversight Committee Meeting recommendation, I am attaching information and estimates
obtained from Earl F Anderson for up to 5 Directional Metal signs for the Southshore Community Center.
Since taking over as Director of the Southshore Center in July 2009, one of the biggest obstacles to our success has
been the lack of signage. Over and over patrons, residents, and potential renters have complained to me about the
difficulty finding our location. Despite providing users with a map and written directions, most find it almost
impossible to locate the Center. Oftentimes, as City Staff can attest, participants find themselves at City Hall, sent
there by their own GPS units only to be directed `over' to the Center which cannot be seen from the entrances to the
complex.
Many users make up posters and use balloons in an effort to leave `landmarks' for their guests to follow, some even
stand out on the roadside near County Road 19 directing their guests to the Center. This is truly unprofessional and
embarrassing if we are to be taken seriously as a rental facility and continue to attract Corporate clients.
Attached is the estimate from Earl F Anderson, sample drawing, quote, and map depicting the proposed locations for
the signs. Staff is working with Tonka Bay to locate a sign within their boundaries.
I am currently working with Public Works Director Brown to obtain the necessary permits from Hennepin County.
Additional permit fees may be anticipated but are unknown to date.
Each sign will be supported by four galvanized chamber posts, two of which extend above ground and two of which
are dug below ground, as is standard procedure, according to Director Brown.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the purchase of 5 metal directional signs and posts for the Southshore Community Center with installation
performed by in -house City of Shorewood public works staff as time permits.

Item — Speed Cart
Description /Background /Previous Action
The city purchased a replacement speed cart at the end of 2008. The device is used throughout Shorewood to
reduce and educate drivers on their speed. The SLMPD manages the scheduling, transportation, and set -up of the
cart.
Over the past couple of years, I received phone calls from Greenwood, Tonka Bay, Excelsior, and Deephaven asking
if the unit could be placed in locations in their communities. In all cases I stated this would be fine and
communicated this with the SLMPD. In the case of Deephaven, we discussed rental of the unit as they are outside
the SLMPD service area.
The use of this item by other SLMPD communities is more efficient if the administrator's /mangers or mayors from
other SLMPD communities are able to request deployment of the device without first having to talk to Shorewood.
My proposal is as follows:
1. Turn over complete management and operation of the speed cart to the SLMPD.
2. Allow and encourage its use by the SLMPD throughout the jurisdictional area.
3. Allow for use by non -SLMPD jurisdictions for a reasonable rental that covers delivery and set -up.
4. Following deployment, the SLMPD utilize the data collection capabilities and send reports to the city
administrator /manager.
5. The SLMPD provide to the Coordinating Committee a quarterly report indicating where they deployed the
unit.
6. That the unit be used in Shorewood at least 50% of the time.
7. That the unit, over time, become the property of the SLMPD.
Options
1. Approve the proposal by staff regarding the use of the speed cart.
2. Amend the proposal by staff and approve.
3. Defer and request staff to prepare additional information.
4. Do nothing.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the council approve the proposal for use of the speed cart.

FROM: Bryan Litsey, Chief of Police/Emergency Management Director
DATE: January 4, 2011 - Tuesday
RE: Hennepin County Multi- Jurisdictional All- Hazards Mitigation Plan
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Mitigation Act of 2000
requires that each city adopt a hazard mitigation plan in order to apply for and/or receive hazard
mitigation funds. A required update to the plan was recently completed by Hennepin County
Emergency Preparedness on behalf of the local cities and townships within the county. This
initiative was funded through a state grant. The plan was recently approved by the Hennepin
County Board of Commissioners. The next step is for each city and township within the county
to adopt the plan.
In my capacity as Director of Emergency Management for the cities served by our police
department, in conjunction with my representation of these same four cities on the Lake
Minnetonka Regional Emergency Preparedness Planning and Review Committee, I recommend
that the Hennepin County Multi- Jurisdictional All- Hazards Mitigation Plan be adopted. I have
attached a copy of a sample resolution that each city can adapt to its own format. I have also
provided copies of the previous resolutions passed by the member cities. In addition, I have
provided a copy of the executive summary that is included in the plan. The plan itself is
hundreds of pages, so as a matter of convenience it will be distributed to each city on a CD.
The timetable is short for adopting the plan, so each city needs to consider approving the
resolution at a council meeting this month. I have been asked by Hennepin County
Emergency Preparedness to have all the city resolutions forwarded to them on or before
January 31, 2011.
Cc: Member Cities (Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Bay)
CITY OF SHOREWOOD
RESOLUTION NO. It-
ADOPTION OF THE HENNEPIN COUNTY ALL - HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

County Hazard Mitigation Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Act as part of the planning process requires public involvement and local
coordination among neighboring local units of government and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Plan includes a risk assessment including past hazards,
hazards that threaten the county, an estimate of structures at risk, a general description of land uses
and development trends; and
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Plan includes a mitigation strategy including goals and
objectives and an action plan identifying specific mitigation projects and costs; and
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Plan includes a maintenance or implementation process

maintain city and public participation and coordination; and
WHEREAS, the Plan has been shared with Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review and comment;
and
WHEREAS, the County All- Hazard Mitigation Plan will make the county and participating
jurisdictions eligible to receive FEMA hazard mitigation assistance grants; and
WHEREAS, this is a multi - jurisdictional Plan and cities that participated in the planning
process may choose to also adopt the County Plan
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Shorewood supports the hazard
mitigation planning effort and wishes to adopt the Hennepin County All- Hazard Mitigation Plan.

pated in the development of this plan include: Bloomington, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park,
Champlin, Corcoran, Crystal, Dayton, Deephaven, Eden Prairie, Edina, Excelsior, Golden Val-
ley, Greenfield, Greenwood, Hanover, Hopkins, Independence, Long Lake, Loretto, Maple
Grove, Maple Plain, Medicine Lake, Medina, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Minnetonka Beach,
Minnetrista, Mound, New Hope, Orono, Osseo, Plymouth, Richfield, Robbinsdale, Rogers,
Shorewood, Spring Park, St. Anthony, St. Bonifacius, St. Louis Park, Tonka Bay, Wayzata and
Woodland. The plan fulfills the requirements of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA
2000) as administered by the Minnesota Department of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management (HSEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
1.1.2 Scope
The scope of the Hennepin County Multi- Jurisdictional All- Hazards Mitigation Plan is the mu-
nicipalities and unincorporated areas within Hennepin County. The plan addressed all hazards
deemed to threaten property and persons within the county. Both short and long -term mitiga-
tion strategies are addressed, implementation tasks assigned, and funding alternatives identified.
1.1.3 Authority
Section 409 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public
Law 93 -288, as amended), Title 44 CFR, as amended by Section 102 of the Disaster Mitigation
Act of 2000, provides the framework for state and local governments to evaluate and mitigate
all natural hazards as a condition for receiving Federal disaster assistance. A major requirement
of the law is the development of a local natural hazard mitigation plan.
1.1.4 Funding
The Minnesota Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management awarded a
$109,875 Pre - Disaster Mitigation Grant to Hennepin County for the preparation of this plan in
November of 2009.
1.1.5 Purpose
Hazard mitigation is any action taken to permanently reduce or eliminate long -term risks to
people and their property from the effects of hazards. Natural hazards come in many forms in-
cluding: tornadoes, floods, severe storms, drought, earthquakes, winter storms, or dam failures
resulting from natural disaster crises. Communities can take steps to prepare and implement
mitigation techniques for almost any type of hazard that may threaten its citizens, businesses

Ili Introduction
and institutions.
Hazard mitigation plans can identify a range of structural approaches to lower the costs of fu-
ture disasters by meeting the unique needs of the community. For example, structural mitiga-
tion projects could include the design of new buildings, roads, dams, and other infrastructure
and the strengthening and retrofitting of old struc-
tures.
Mitigation strategies can also involve non-
structural initiatives, such as educational programs
to inform the community about the risks the public
and its property faces in order to encourage them to
purchase flood insurance or educate themselves on
severe weather awareness. Non - structural mitiga-
tion programs can also include developing and en-
forcing regulations to prevent construction in haz-
ard areas, or to ensure that development that does
occur will be resistant to the hazards threatening the
area.

Mitigation programs and projects serve to lessen a community's vulnerability to the hardships
and costs of disasters. The implementation of mitigation programs is a key component to
achieving a sustainable community, on in which the economic and
social needs of people, businesses, and institutions coexists with natu-
ral environment constraints and are protected from the disruptions and
impacts of emergencies and disasters. Hazard mitigation planning
must be closely coordinated with a community's overall planning and
development efforts. The most effective way for a community to ini-
tiate this objective is through a comprehensive local mitigation plan-
ning program, as presented here. Comprehensive planning can pro-
vide Hennepin County citizens a safe, health and prosperous place in
which to live and work.

Team comprised of Ivey County, city, and stakeholder representatives. The planning process
examined the recorded history of losses from natural hazards, and analyzed fixture risks posed to
the county by these hazards.
Hennepin County is vulnerable to several natural hazards that are identified, profiled, and ana-
lyzed in the plan. The plan puts forth several mitigation goals and objectives that are based on
the results of the risk assessment. To meet identified goals and objectives, the plan also in-
cludes specific recommendations for actions that can mitigate future disaster losses. This plan

has been formally adopted by each participating entity and is required to be updated a minimum
of every five years.
This plan serves as a guide for local governments in their ongoing efforts to reduce vulnerabil-
ity to the impacts produced by natural hazards. Further, this plan seeks to accomplish the fol-
lowing additional purposes:
• Establish an ongoing natural hazard mitigation program;
• Identify and assess the natural hazards that pose a threat to life and property;
• Evaluate additional mitigation measures that should be undertaken; and;
• Outline procedures for monitoring the implementation of mitigation strategies.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
Department Engineering Council Meeting 1/10/11 Item Number: 9A
From: James Landini, P.E.
Item Description: Accepting Low Quote & Awarding Contract for Storm Maintenance
Background / Previous Action
The storm sewer outlet located near 5750 Covington Road has sediment deposits built up to
restrict the function of the storm sewer on Covington Road and Old Market Road. The quantity
of sediment has been estimated and the sediment tested for contaminants. An excerpt from
the report from the sediment testing is attached for your acceptance; the full report is available
as requested.
To summarize the sediment analysis, the soils are contaminated and need to be treated as
MPCA dredge management level 3 for PAH's. This means the material needs to disposed of at
an MPCA permitted landfill.
Staff assembled and distributed to ten excavation contractors a plan and specifications to
receive quotes for maintaining the outlet structure. Seven quotes were opened for the 2010
Silver Lake Storm Outlet Maintenance on January 5, 2011.
The low quoter is Parrott Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $30,308.00.
This project will be funded by the Stormwater Management Fund which has $40,000 budgeted
for this work in 2011.
Parrott Contracting, Inc. has a long history of successful projects with the City of Shorewood.
Options
1. Accept the sediment analysis report, and;
a. Direct staff to work with Parrott Contracting, Inc.
b. Direct staff to requote the project, resulting in a later completion date.
c. Do nothing. Leaves the storm outlet in poor condition.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the soils report be accepted and a contract for the 2010 Silver Lake Storm Outlet
Maintenance be awarded to Parrott Contracting, Inc. in a not to exceed amount of $40,000.00.

municipal employment matters. Compensation for the retainer in 2011
shall be $1,850.00 per month
b) Non- retainer work Legal work of a non - routine nature not covered by the
retainer shall be compensated at an hourly rate. We will do our best to
anticipate these projects, circumstances or disputes that fall outside the
monthly retainer and provide advice of opening a new matter. Work
outside of the retainer shall include: (1) litigation matters, including
actions, suits, or proceedings in all courts and before any administrative
boards, tribunals, arbitrators, or hearing officers; (2) real estate matters,
including land acquisition by negotiated purchase or eminent domain and

Work of a non - routine nature shall be billed at an hourly rate of $185 for
shareholder level attorneys with 10+ years experience; $175 for midlevel
shareholder attorneys; $155 for associate level attorneys; and $140 for
paralegals and law clerks in 2011.
c) Development Work The development rate will apply to the negotiation
and preparation of development, subdivision and related agreements and
representation of the City or Economic Development Authority with
respect to economic development or redevelopment matters for identified
projects. This is work that is customarily billed through the city to an
outside entity or third party for reimbursement. This work shall be billed
at an hourly rate of $220 for senior attorneys; $195 for midlevel
shareholder attorneys; $165 for associate attorneys; and $150 for
paralegals and law clerks in 2011.
The hourly rate is billed for all services provided to the City, including phone

and mileage are charged based on the shorter of the two alternatives: travel time
and mileage from the Minneapolis office; or travel time and mileage from the
point of departure, if different from the Minneapolis office (e.g., the attorney's
home or another client's office).
Hourly rates shall be adjusted annually by letter supplement. The amount of the
retainer and the volume of work performed thereunder shall be reviewed and
adjusted at the time of adjustment of the hourly rates.
3. The Firm shall also be reimbursed for any costs and disbursements which it incurs
in connection with providing any of the services described in paragraph 2 of this
letter. Reimbursable costs and disbursements shall be actual costs without a

4. It is the intention of the parties that Tim Keane will perform, supervise and be
responsible to the City for the legal services herein agreed upon, except in the
case of extraordinary circumstances involving disability, unavoidable conflict or
other good and substantial reasons. Other Firm attorneys may from time -to -time
be directed to perform services described in this letter under the supervision of
Tim Keane.
5. The Firm agrees that it will not undertake the representation of any person or
other entity during its appointment as City Attorney in instances where such
representation may create a potential conflict of interest, unless:
a) The Firm reasonably believes the representation will not adversely affect
its relationship with the City; and
b) The City and such other person or entity has consented after consultation.
6. The Firm agrees that it will not, during its appointment as city attorney, undertake
representation of any elected official of the City in connection with any personal
legal matter of such person, and will not during such appointment, absent the
consent of the City Council, undertake the representation of any other employee
of the City.
7. The provisions of this letter shall be deemed to be automatically extended from
year -to -year or extended with such modifications or adjustments as the City and
the Firm may agree from time to time.

From: Brian Heck, City Administrator
Item — City Trails
Description /Background /Previous Action
Several years ago, the Park Commission produced a trail plan for the City. The plan anticipated interconnecting all
the City parks and incorporating the LRT in the plan as well.
One of the items on the park CIP for 2011 is to consider extending an off road pathway from the LRT south to the
sidewalk that leads to the Tonka Bay Mall to improve safety and access to the LRT and connect the mall to the LRT.
In conversations with Mayor Lizee, Council member Hotvet, and Planning Commissioner Pat Arnst, the issue of off
road pathways or a trail system has been raised, especially along Smithtown lane west of the elementary school.
The residents on Galpin Lake Road south of Highway 7 sent a note to staff requesting consideration of a trial
connecting their neighborhood to the LRT in Excelsior. Finally, the update to the park master plan conducted by
TKDA provides conceptual trails in most of the parks.
There are several challenges to constructing pathways along the road; however, there are many positive outcomes
as well, most importantly safety.
Staff is proposing the Council establish a trail planning committee consisting of at least the following: 2 council
members, 2 planning commissioners, and 2 park commissioners. Staff recommends Planner Brad Nielsen be the
"project manager" and provide assistance and support to the group.
Options
1. Accept the proposal offered by staff for a trail planning committee;
2. Deny the proposal offered by staff;
3. Amend the proposal;
4. Refer to park and /or planning commission for input and recommendation;
Recommended Action
Staff recommends council approve the creation of the trail planning committee; appoint council representatives;
request Park and Planning appoint representatives; and direct staff to prepare arrange for the initial meeting.

Item — Appointments to Boards and Commissions
Description /Background /Previous Action:
The task of appointing members to the Planning Commission and Park Commission is underway. Staff
advertised in the past few newsletters and posted information on -line encouraging residents to
volunteer to serve. Staff posted another notice on the city's facebook page announcing vacancies on
both of these commissions.
In the past, the Council accepted letters of interest from residents (including those on the commission
whose term is up) and invited them to interview in February and the appointment was made so the
individuals could begin their term for the first meeting in March.
Park Commission: the two commissioners with expiring terms both indicated a desire to remain on the
commission — Jeremy Norman and Steve Quinlin. Susan Giados, who was appointed last year, resigned
and has two years left on her term. We have not received any letters of interest to serve on this
commission as of yet.
Planning Commission: both commissioners whose term expired decided not to pursue another term.
Thus, there are two vacancies on the planning commission. We received one letter of interest for this
commission.
Filling seats on the Planning Commission is a bit more straight forward as there are no incumbents to
consider in the process. Council can proceed with interviewing interested residents before a meeting in
February as usual.
The Park Commission process includes two incumbents. The question staff has is if the Council wants to
interview the two incumbents or consider their appointment and seek to fill the vacant seat only. At this
time, we do not have any letters of interest to serve on this Commission as of yet.
Options: there are a few ways the Council can approach the Park Commission appointment, the council
can:
1) Appoint the two incumbent park commissioners without including them in the interview
process;
2) Include the two incumbents in the process (current practice); or
3) Choose not to appoint the two incumbents;
Council Action:
The important component here is to find residents who are interested in volunteering their time on one
of these commissions.
Recommendation:
Staff does not have a specific recommendation regarding whom to appoint. Staff does suggest that if the
desire of Council is to consider the reappointment of the incumbent commissioner, to simply reappoint
them without having them participate in the interview process.

From: Brian Heck, City Administrator
Item — Council / Staff Retreat
Description /Background /Previous Action
During the 2010 budget process, staff worked with Council to revise the mission statement and develop goals for
2010 and attempted to prioritize these goals. The goal setting process did not occur during the 2011 budget
process for a variety of reasons, one being the departure of the Finance Director.
In considering a work plan for 2011, it occurred to me that one thing the City has not done in many years was to
conduct a professionally facilitated retreat for council and staff. I thought that this year would be an ideal year for
such a program as the city has two new council members and newer staff as well as some long term staff. Working
with a professional facilitator to assist in establishing a process for the identification of objectives and goals is
something many cities due. This process takes the pressure off council and staff be introducing a neutral third
party who can keep the group focused on the task. The facilitator can also help staff and council identify their roles
as it relates to implementation.
My thought is to have a one day program at the SouthShore Community Center. The council set aside
approximately $36,000 to use toward this process in the 2011 budget.
Options
1. Authorize staff to prepare a request for proposal (RFP) for this service; the RFP process takes about two
months and possibly longer based on the manner of selection e.g. interviews, etc.
2. Direct staff to contact three or four consultants to obtain quotes for the service; there are a few
noteworthy consultants who perform this service and who work exclusively with cities. This process is a
faster and produces similar results as a formal RFP process.
3. Do nothing;
4. Direct staff to establish goal setting sessions with council without the use of a facilitator; the process used
in 2009 didn't work as efficiently as planned, took several work sessions, and did not produce, in my view,
a quality outcome.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Council approve holding a Council / staff retreat and direct staff to contact three or four
consultants, and work out a date to hold the event.

On January 15 2011, the Cities of Shorewood, Excelsior, and Tonka Bay will once again be
hosting the Arctic Fever Event. This year some of the specific activities that have been planned
are increasing in size and logistics. Staff felt that it was prudent to keep the City Council and
Commissions up to date with a few of the features of the event.
Skijoring
Last year was the first year that Skijoring
was put into play as one of the activities at
Freeman Park. For those who may not be
familiar with the sport, a photo has been
included that depicts the sport well. This
sport combines the activities of dog sledding
with cross country skiing. This event
received positive response from attendees
last year.
This year, the event has been expanded. The
Midwest Skijoring Club is sponsoring a race
between Freeman Park in Shorewood to
Manitou Park in Tonka Bay, with the Light Rail
Regional Trail (LRT) as the connecting route.
The logistics for this event are a bit more involved than the other events, and will be the focus
of this update. There are several features that are significant that will be described in further
detail below.
Entrances and Exits to Freeman and Manitou Parks
Public Works Staff, Arctic Fever Committee Members, and Midwest Skijor Club Representatives
met to review the proposed route for the race. The race will commence at Freeman Park, and
Council Action:
Z
will use the LRT to arrive Manitou Park. Skijorers will complete a loop at Manitou Park and
return the same way they came, back to Freeman Park. A map of the route is shown in
Attachment 1.
Public Works will be constructing an entrance and exit from Freeman Park to the LRT. These
will be packed snow ramps connecting the trail /soccer fields to the LRT. The City of Tonka Bay
will be performing similar tasks in Manitou Park, to complete the loop.
Light Rail Regional Trail (LRT)
Staff is working with various agencies to determine a feasible method to construct an adequate
base of snow for the Skijorers. The initial request by the skijor club was a 20 foot wide path
through the parks and the LRT. This would allow for two Skijorers to pass in opposite directions
and to have another lane to perform passing by a third opponent. As many of the Council and
Commissioners are aware, the width of the surface of the LRT is only 12 feet. Thus, a 20 foot
width is not feasible.
While less than optimum, representatives of the skijor team have said that they will work with
what they can get. They will have to advise Skijorers to use caution when approaching one
another, in either direction.
While this appears adequate for the race, challenges remain and are being worked on regarding
construction of an adequate snow base the full width of the trail. Ideally, there would be
approximately 4 inches of groomed and packed snow the entire width of the 12 foot LRT
surface.
Staff has been in contact with Three Rivers Park District, to inquire if a snow groomer would be
available from Three Rivers, for construction of this base. Three Rivers is still considering the
request.
If the answer from Three Rivers returns as a "No" with regard to using their groomer, staff may
have to consider hauling in snow by trucks and using a snowmobile to pack the path, as any
ATV's that are available leave ruts that are too deep, even with dragging a groomer behind.
Issues of using a snowmobile in the parks and the LRT is also of significant concern, in light of
the City's ordinance regarding such use. Staff is still investigating this, to determine the
feasibility of using these types of machines. Certainly, any feedback the City Council may have
on this is appreciated.

Roadway Crossings
The route of the race along the LRT crosses Wedgewood Drive and Smithtown Road.
Considerable discussion and planning has been put into managing both traffic and the crossings
of the racers.
At this point, it has been suggested that a snow of adequate depth will be trucked in and spread
across the road, at the trail crossing, the day of the race. A minimum of four attendants will
serve at each intersection as crossing guards, traffic managers and to rake out the path for
skijorers when vehicles cross. A radio will be present at both locations and will be in contact
with event managers to insure that good communication is maintained. Attendants will be
wearing traffic vests. Barricades will also be placed along these crossings to narrow the traffic
crossings, thereby slowing motorists down to a narrowed gate. Snow would be removed from
the crossings, once the event was completed.
Certainly, this event has taken a considerable amount of planning, and is still being finalized.
And, there will also be impacts in preparation of the event. Specifically, the base for the LRT
will have to be constructed approximately one week in advance of the event. This is going to
make walking or use of the trail prior to the vent more of a challenge along the LRT, versus the
plowed path that is there now.
Staff is also working on a communications plan to inform trail users of the impact. The path will
also be plowed to the current condition the day following the event.
And, as mentioned above, on race day, there will be inconvenience to motorists, at the
crossings. Hopefully, if properly managed, this should be minor.
Staff will present the proposed plan during Monday's City Council meeting for review and
feedback the Council may have on the event or the impacts.
