ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Brancel, Councilmembers Gagne, Stover, and Lewis, City Administrator Hurm, City Attorney Sellergren, City Engineer Norton, City Finance Director Rolek and City Planner Nielsen. Absent: Councilmember Daugherty 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 1 , ,".f' . . . . " REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 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. L . . . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1991 - PAGE 3 Motion failed - 2/2 (Stover, Gagne) Stover said the Council discussion should be held in January so that any recommendations the Task Force have can be reviewed and acted upon by Jan. 13. Lewis said he is assuming Hurm can reschedule the Task Force meeting date to an earlier date so the information can be reviewed by the Task Force. Stover said a decision on the recommendations cannot be made on the same date the information is presented. Lewis moved, Gagne seconded to adopt 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. these items are to be tabled until the Jan. 13, 1992 meeting. Motion carried - 4/0 2.

Planning Commission 1. Input on Old Market Road Intersection from Highway 7 from Radission Road residents. Stover said the Radisson Road residents did not want to make recommendations on Old Market Road but want the opportunity to add recommendations on the traffic situation on Radisson Road. 2. Report on Capital Improvement Program - Public Hearing Stover said the cIP was formally presented at the Public Hearing on Nov. 19th. and not many residents attended. The Planning Commission voted to table their recommendations to the Dec. 3, 1991 meeting to allow time for them to review the information. B. Park Commission There was no report. 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. 6 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1991 - PAGE 7 . 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) . ./ . . . ',' REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25. 1991 - PAGE 8 6. 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. 7. APPEAL TO ZONING VIOLATION Applicant: Boyd Wittman Location: 5540 Teal Circle Planner Nielsen stated that Mr. Wittman has a boat stored on his property and is asking for an extension of time until Dec. 15, 1991 to remove the boat. Nielsen recommended granting the extension. Gagne moved. Lewis seconded to approve an extension of time to Dec. 15, 1991 for Mr. Boyd Wittman to remove a boat on his property. Motion carried - 4/0 8. APPEAL NOTICE TO REMOVE Applicant: John Chambers Location: 24560 Smithtown Road H . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25. 1991 - PAGE 9 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 ~ 7 . . . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25. 1991 - PAGE 10 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 , .' , . . . . ..... REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25. 1991 - PAGE 12 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. 12. STAFF REPORTS: A. ATTORNEY'S REPORT 1.

Brian Maghan has led this group and has stated the neighbors have not made any progress in their discussion. They asked for more time from the Council. Gagne and Brancel said there should be no more time given and the matter should be brought back before the Council. Hurm said the Glen Road Project has been identified in the CIP to be done in 1993. Nielsen said he will advise the residents that the project will be discussed as part of the CIP and there will be no extension of time. Brancel said the staff can meet with the neighborhood. D.

She showed the letter to other Council members. 3.

Gagne said the two current applicants were members of the original Task Force and there is one new applicant. Gagne said there have been inquires from people who have been involved politically in the City, Lewis said the selection should be based on the individual's willingness to contribute to the City, Brancel asked if the Council wanted to screen the applicants or just accept them. Gagne moved. Lewis seconded to accept the applications of Bill Maddy. Cyrus Zulgad and Barbara H. Keffer for positions on the Senior Housing Task Force.
