C. REVIEW AGENDA
Councilmember Lewis asked that Item * 9 - Action on Recommendations
of the Transportation Task Force for Studying Traffic Control on
Old Market Road, be tabled. He said the Task Force is in receipt
of additional information from different agencies and they should
have time to discuss the information and present their
recommendations.
Mayor Brancel stated that Item * 4-A-l - Input on Old Market Road
intersection from Highway 7 from Radisson Road residents, should
also be tabled.
Gagne asked when this would be discussed.
City Administrator Hurm suggested the Council hold it's December
meeting on Dec. 16th rather than the 9th. He said the
Transportation Task Force is meeting on Dec. 10th and moving the
meeting date would give them time to review the new information.
Gagne said he wanted to keep the meeting on Dec. 9th.
Lewis asked if the Transportation Task Force meeting can be
rescheduled. Hurm said the Dec. 10th date was set by the Chairman
and if they can meet to discuss the information before the ninth
they can report to the Council on the 9th or at their Jan. 13th
meeting.
Stover said she does not want to hold the discussion of the Old
Market Road intersection any later than Jan. 13. She said the
residents of Radission Road want to form a task force and want to
have their concerns heard. She said they should be given the
same material that the current Transportation Task Force receives.
Brancel said the Radisson Rd. residents have not asked to become a
Task Force. Stover said the Radisson Road residents would like to

NOVEMBER 2~, 1991 - PAGE 2
become a task force in the same manner the first task force was
established, however. without any funding.
Brancel and Lewis stated the Transportation Task Force was
established by the Council and has a statement of purpose.
Stover said she does not want the input from the Radisson Road
residents tabled.
Lewis said the discussion is under the Planning Commission Report
and asked if this topic was directed to the Planning Commission by
the Council. Stover said it was not. Lewis said the discussion by
the Radisson Road residents is unrelated to the Old Market Road
Task Force.
Gagne said the Radisson Rd. residents are the other side of this
issue and they are angry that the Council has not followed through
with Old Market Road, seven years after the Council said they would
put in a road.
Lewis stated that the Old Market Road Task Force was established
for the issue of safety of the Old Market Road neighborhood.
The recommendations of the Task Force were made without the current
information and the Council should give the Task Force the courtesy
of allowing them to review the new information and make revised
recommendations.
Brancel asked the Council to vote on tabling the two discussions.
She said the Radisson Rd. residents should come before the Council
and present their request to become a task force.
Stover said she would like the opportunity to present their request
to the Council and would not like the discussion tabled.
Gagne said this is a delaying tactic and wants the issue decided.
He said whatever date is established for the discussion he would
like a full Council in attendance to make a decision on the matter.
Lewis said Old Market Road is under construction and has been
delayed by weather. He said the Task Force made preliminary
recommendations to delay opening the road. He said these
recommendations may be altered by the new information which will
be presented to the Task Force.
Brancel said the discussion should be tabled to the Dec. 9, 1991
meeting.
Lewis moved, Brancel seconded to approve the Agenda with the
following corrections:
1. Lewis asked that item i 9 be tabled until the
Transportation Task Force can discuss new material
presented to them.
2. Brancel asked that Planning Commission item 4A-1, input
from Radisson Road residents be tabled.
and that the discussion is held no later than the Dec. 9th Council
meeting, provided the staff can review the information.

the Task Force.
Stover said a decision on the recommendations cannot be made on the same

RESOLUTION NO. 121-91
5. 7:15 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED RESOLUTION ADOPTING A 1992
GENERAL, WATER, SEWER AND RECYCLING BUDGETS AND SETTING THE
PROPERTY TAX LEVY FOR 1991 COLLECTIBLE IN 1992.
Finance Director, Rolek presented the 1992 budget.
Rolek said the budget will increase 4.2% in 1992. However, there
will be no increase in the tax levy. He said the levy will
actually decline, marginally.
Rolek said the biggest change is in the street budget. Many
projects were held over from 1991.
He said property taxes fund three-fourths of the City budget.
Gagne commented that 16.5% of the budget is allocated for the
Police Department and Rolek added that 24% of the budget is
5
~ .
.
.
.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25. 1991 - PAGE 6
allocated to public safety (police, fire, animal patrol and
building inspection).
Rolek said the legislature altered the way the taxable value is
calculated and the City's tax rate actually dropped.
Rolek said State Aid to local governments has been declining and
in 1990, the local government aid to Shorewood was eliminated and
shifted to the School District.
Rolek broke down the expenditure of the tax dollar in 1991 vs 1992.
1991 1992
City $.17.9 City $.16.1
County $.26.4 County $.27.5
School $.48.0 School $.51.6
Other $ .7 ther $ .5
Rolek said the City has done a lot of work on the Capital
Improvement Program. He said public information meetings have
been held and the plan is the beginning of a well thought out
program.
The CIP takes the money that has been set aside for Capital
Improvements and shows where and how the dollars will be spent.
He invited the public to review the CIP plan at City Hall.
Rolek said a new item In the budget is a City Engineer. He said
the Staff thinks a Staff Engineer will be more efficient and will
save tax dollars.
THE HEARING WAS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC AT 7:52 P.M. THERE WAS NO PUBLIC
COMMENT AND THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Gagne asked if the budget is available at City Hall. Hurm said it
is.
Stover said the position of City Engineer was discussed when there
was a possibility that municipal water would be installed. Because
municipal water will not be installed. she feels a Staff Engineer
is not justified.
Stover said she does not think a staff Engineer will save money and
asked for an explanation of the costs.
Hurm said a memo was distributed at the last City Council meeting
detailing the cost of a Staff Engineer vs a full time Consulting
Engineer.
Stover asked which items are pass-through and Gagne asked the
percentage of projects that are pass through. Hurm said City
projects are not pass-through and referred them to the previously
prepared staff memo on the subject.

.
Stover referred to the $75,633 budget for a Staff Engineer and
said this does not reflect the total engineering cost for the
City because a Consulting Engineer will still be needed for
large projects. She said the Council should put this decision
on hold.
Lewis said comparatives were made between outside everyday costs
of engineering services and the cost and efficiency of having
a Staff Engineer. He said a lot of thought was put into the costs
involved in a Staff Engineer and how the current engineering
service is used.
Brancel said there was a lot of justification in the memo and it
has already been approved.
Gagne said a lot of things were assumed when the subject was
discussed and part of that was the installation of City water.
He said the City should continue with the current engineering
services.
Lewis asked Hurm to review the reasons and justifications for the
Engineering position.
.
Hurm said municipal water was not a reason for proposing the
Staff Engineer. He said the City has been spending, annually, well
over $100,000 for Engineering services. He said the City can save
some money with an in house Engineer but even if money is not saved
the needs justify the position. The Public Works director may
retire after a number of years. and these positions may be
combined. The Engineer will be more available for consultation with
staff and residents.
He said the numbers surprised him when the analysis was done and
feels that any likely cost savings are "icing on the cake."
Brancel said the Engineer can be left in the budget and then ask
the Administrator not to advertise the position.
Lewis said an Engineer should be looked at as a long term item. If
it won't cost additional funds it should be considered because the
everyday workings of the City require an engineer.
Gagne said it should be left in and discussed.
Stover said it has been her experience that if an item is left in
the budget it will be spent.
Lewis said he does not approve of all items in the budget, but they
are needed. The Council voted to have an Engineer in the budget
and it deserves to be left in.
Hurm said he will not advertise the position until the Council
agrees to hire an Engineer.
Gagne moved, Lewis seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 121-91 "A Resolution
Adopting the 1992 General, Water, Sewer and Recycling Fund Budgets and
Approving the 1991 Property Tax Levy Collectible in 1992. II
Motion carried - 3/1 (Stover)

RESOLUTION NO. 122-91
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SEWER SERVICE RATES FOR RESIDENTIAL AND
NONRESIDENTIAL PREMISES.
Rolek said the Staff proposes to increase the sewer rate $5.00 per
quarter per residential connection and corresponding increases for
commercial users. He said the rates have remained the same, at
$49.75 per quarter. since 1988 and the sewer fund is operating at a
loss. He said costs have increased from the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission.
Brancel asked Rolek how Shorewood compares to other cities.
He said the City is high. There have been costs incurred for repair
and replacement of lift stations. These repairs are part of the
sewer fund costs.
Gagne said the Council has had a discussion every year to confront
the MWCC regarding their charges to Shorewood.
Rolek said the City budgets for the replacement of equipment and
these are in an Enterprise Funds. These funds are intended to make
a profit. The funds operate a paper loss but have a marginal cash
flow increase. However. the revenue is not sufficient to meet
expenses.
Gagne moved, Lewis seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 122-91 "A Resolution
Establishing Sewer Service Rates for Residential and NONRESIDENTIAL
Premises. II
Motion carried - 4/0.

Applicant: Boyd Wittman
Location: 5540 Teal Circle

1991 for Mr. Boyd Wittman to remove a boat on his property.
Motion carried - 4/0

Nielsen said the City has previously removed material from Mr.
Chambers property.
Nielsen added Public Works Director Zdrazil said he did not quote
$100 to remove the Pickup Topper on Chambers property.
Gagne said the City should deny Mr. Chambers request for an
extension because this has happened before.
Gagne moved. Lewis seconded to deny the request of Mr. John Chambers for
an extension of time on a Notice to Remove.
Motion carried - 4/0.
9. ACTION ON RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TRANSPORTATION TASK FORCE FOR
STUDYING TRAFFIC CONTROL ON OLD MARKET ROAD
Discussion was tabled.
10.
MOTION TO APPROVE A CONTRACT WITH MUNITECH FOR SEWER/WATER
MAINTENANCE
Hurm said Munitech was the only company to bid on the contract.
He said he contacted Excelsior, Chanhassen and Minnetonka
concerning the contract, however, they were not interested in 1992.
He said the contract is basically the same as 1991 with a $400
increase because of the new iron removal system.
Hurm said paragraphs K & L were added to the contract and they are
as follows:
K. To inform the Director of Public Works or designated person
immediately upon knowledge of an emergency or unusual
situation and keep them informed for the duration of that
situation.
L. To perform operation and maintenance functions at the water
treatment facility according to the Operation and Maintenance
Manual (0 & M) provided by the City.
Hurm said verifying the accuracy of the meter readings has been a
problem that Munitech has been working on. He said Munitech would
charge an extra $9600 to physically compare the inside and outside
meter readings.
Hurm said the City can send cards to residents to read their own
meters and inform residents that these cards must be returned.
Stover asked if a card is considered an official reading.
Hurm said this reading is the homeowners responsibility to return
to the City.
Gagne asked if Hurm discussed the blown pipes which resulted in
damage to four basements, with Munitech. Hurm said Munitech said

they did not follow any different procedures when backflushing area
hydrants.
Lewis moved. Gagne seconded to approve the Water and Sewer System
Maintenance Contract for 1992 with Munitech. Inc.
Motion carried - 4/0
Hurm said he will return with a proposal to the Council for residential
meter reading. He said this contract does not include meter
verification. Upon Council direction, the second version will give
residents two cycles with special notification before any unvarified
meter problem becomes the property owners full responsiblity.
11. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
JOHN ASKINS - 19385 SHADY HILLS RD.
Asked to form a Transportation Task Force with some of his
neighbors to study the safety and traffic conditions in the
neighborhoods adjacent to Old Market Road.
Askins asked when the Shady Hills Drainage Project will be
completed. Engineer Norton said the project will be completed
in the spring because of the early snow. Askins said he has been
pleased with the work so far.
Askins also inquired about the exact cost of the City Engineer and
where he can obtain the information. Hurm said he could provide
him with the information.
Lewis said there was a mention at this meeting of $100.000
engineering expenses last year and $76,000 is proposed for
next year.
He asked who will audit the water meter cards. Hurm said there
will be an advantage for the homeowner to verify the inside and
outside meter readings.
Rolek said just because the meters don't match does not mean they
are faulty.
Askins asked about the Task Force. Hurm said the Staff will need
direction from the Council to draft a resolution giving specific
direction and length of time. The current Transportation Task
Force will be disbanded on Dec. 31. 1991.
Brancel asked him if he is asking to form a task force for Shady
Hills. Askins said he would ask for representation from Shady
Hills and Radisson Rd. neighborhoods.
Brancel asked him if this task force will be tied to the opening of
Old Market Road. Askins said there will probably be no need for a
task force if Old Market Road is opened on time.
Lewis asked what he considered on time.
10
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25. 1991 - PAGE 11
.
Askins said he is concerned that when Vine Hill is closed for
construction. Old Market road is open to receive the additional
traffic.
Brancel said Askins and other residents are jumping the gun in
requesting another task force. She said the Council has not
accepted the Task Force recommendations and with new input
from government agencies, the recommendations may be quite
different.
Askins said he wants the Council to have input from all citizens
for the safety of the entire area, so the Council can make an
adequate decision.
Lewis said there is a Comprehensive Plan to address traffic
problems.
Nielsen said two groups have asked to form task forces. He said
Transportation and Public Facilities are top priorities in the
Compo Plan. The Planning Commission will be reviewing these issues
at the next few meetings. Nielsen said the City should not only
look at individual streets but take an area wide view of the
problem. He said task forces may be needed but with a broader
scope.
Gagne said the Council must decide on January 13, 1992 about this
Old Market Road issue.
.
Stover said the people who are asking to be a task force are
looking at a broader area than one road and are living with this traffic
problem every day. She said whether Old Market Road is opened or not
they have legitimate needs. The residents feel a Task Force will make
them legitimate.
Stover moved. to pass a resolution authorizing a Task Force with
specific tasks to offer input for safety solutions in the area between
Christmas Lake Road and Vine Hill Road that is not covered by a previous
task force.
Motion failed - no second
.
Lewis said the initial intent of the Transportation Task Force was to
study ways to be sure the Old Market Road neighborhood remains safe. He
said the road will change dramatically when the road is opened to HwY.
7.
He said he is tired of the continual running down of the individuals who
are on the Task Force. He said the City should show some interest in
the people of that area.
Stover said the Task Force is not the only group that is concerned about
the safety of their road.
Lewis said a complete study can be done through the Compo Plan. and he
is against the City attitude that the Task Force is not concerned about
area residents. He said the City seems to be more concerned about the
other area residents than it is about providing relief to the people who
are directly affected.
Stover said she cannot understand why he can't see that other residents
have safety problems on their roads that are equal to the problems on
1 1

Old Market Road. because their road have been taking the traffic from
Old Market Road.
Lewis said the Council will not acknowledge that the Transportation Task
Force was appointed to study the safety conditions at the Old Market
Road intersection. He said there are now other individuals who want to
be part of this process. Lewis said the Council should let this Task
Force do its job.
Gagne said he is being made to look like a "bad gUY" because he will not
approve the Task Force recommendations. He said he would have approved
most of the recommendations. however. the first one was to delay the
opening of Old Market Road. He said he will not vote to delay the
opening of Old Market Road because he is committed to other residents to
build a road.
Lewis said this discussion has been tabled.
Stover said she is not suggesting a task force to study the Compo Plan.;
the Planning Commission is doing that. She said she would like the same
consideration for other neighborhoods that Old Market Road has received.
Lewis said the Council has not acted on anything yet.
Brancel told Askins the Council will not act on a Matter from the Floor
at a current Council meeting. She said she remembered Askins asked to
form a Task Force in January of this year to offer input to the Council.
She told him request to form a Task Force but heard nothing about it
until the Transportation Task Force made it's recommendations.
Askins said he applied to be included in the current Transportation Task
Force and was shrugged off.
Lewis told Askins the Task Force was created to address safety Issues on
Old Market Road and they wanted members who are closest to the problem.
He asked Askins to let the situation take it's course.
