She noted Ms. Artist's plaque of recognition will be mailed to her.
B. South Lake Minnetonka Police Chief / Emergency Management Director Brian
Litsey — Presentation on Storm Awareness
Mayor Liz6e noted that South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD) Chief Bryan Litsey is
present to give a presentation regarding severe weather awareness.
Chief Litsey stated based on the severe weather being experienced around the United States it is almost a
matter of when not if it will impact the State of Minnesota. He thought it prudent to bring awareness to
municipal governments, elected officials and residents in the area in order to help prepare for severe
weather incidents. He noted April 16 — 20, 2012, is designated as severe weather awareness week for the
State. He explained the purpose is to bring awareness to the public about all of the different types of
severe weather that may happen. After there has been a severe weather incident there is controlled chaos
at first before the emergency management plan is put into action. Restoration can take many years as is
the case in Joplin, Missouri.
Litsey reviewed the resources necessary to handle the initial South Lake area response. They include the
SLMPD, the Excelsior Fire District (EFD), the Deephaven Police Department (DPD), Hennepin County
Medical Center, Ridgeview Medical Center, American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, CenterPoint
Energy, Xcel Energy, and public works personnel. He explained in the South Lake area there are many
trees. They can become a big obstacle when it comes to storms because when they come down it makes it
difficult if not impossible to get from one place to another. They may also bring power lines, most of
which are located above ground, down with them. Downed live lines delay recovery efforts.

Litsey stated in 2011 SLMPD, ETD and DPD personnel hosted an overview emergency preparedness
seminar for elected and appointed officials as well as government personnel. During the seminar they
reviewed some of the local resources available. There is the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located
in the South Lake Public Safety Facility in Shorewood. A lot of emergency preparedness training has
been done in the EOC. Shorewood City Hall could possibly be used as a media staging area. The
Southshore Community Center could possibly be used as a resource center for residents. The Public
Works area would likely be a staging area for additional resources.
Litsey explained that per Minnesota policy, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Communication Division
tests /activates all sirens in Hennepin County at 1:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. The
cities purchase and maintain the equipment. The County activates tine sirens. In the not too distant past the
South Lake cities collectively upgraded the system in the area. In the South Lake area the practice is to
have a person verify that the sirens did go off during the test. The Weather Service dictates when the
sirens will go off during a severe weather incident. It goes through the Communications Division which
activates the sirens by zone. For severe weather warnings, outdoor warning siren activation in Hennepin
County is based on tornadic activity or the potential, and sustained straight line winds in excess of 75 mph
or the potential for same.
Litsey noted the Cities of Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood, Tonka Bay and Woodland are
located in Zone 7. He displayed a map depicting the siren locations in 2010 in Hennepin County. He
reviewed where the sirens are located in the South Lake area cities; Excelsior (1 siren), Greenwood (I
siren), Shorewood (2 sirens with one of the east end and one on the west end), and Tonka Bay (1 siren).
He noted that Interim Administrator /Director Brown has played an instrumental role in ensuring the sirens
in the South Lake area work when they are activated for test purposes.
Litsey noted the warning sirens are outdoor warning sirens. They are not meant to be heard inside of
buildings and homes or to wake people up when sleeping. He encouraged residents to purchase a NOAA
Weather Alter Radio. He explained it can be programed to receive only those warnings that apply to their
local area and for specific types of conditions. He noted that the majority of severe weather deaths occur
at night when people are sleeping. He stated in 2010 the SLMPD applied for and received a grant to equip
government -owned buildings with NOAA Weather Alert Radios. The SLMPD was able to obtain six of
them and made them available to the SLMPD member cities and the SSCC as well as the South Lake
Public Safety Facility.
Litsey stated that he and SLMPD Community Service Supervisor Hohertz are the Emergency
Management Officials for the SLMPD. He noted that Hohertz recently became certified as an emergency
manager; an aggressive curriculum. He also noted that ETD Chief Gerber, a certified emergency manager,
and Assistant ETD Chief George are the officials for the ETD. Gerber was involved with emergency
management for years for Carver County and lie has a wealth of knowledge. During Gerber's tenure with
the ETD he helped bring the South Lake area's emergency operations plan up a level.
Litsey noted there is a Lake Minnetonka regional emergency operations plan in place. He stated the
communities in the Lake Minnetonka area have a long - standing history of cooperation. It made sense to
develop a regional plan. He explained that representatives for 20 cities along with the Three Rivers Park
District, the Hennepin County Sheriffs Office and Hennepin County Emergency Preparedness are
represented on the Hennepin County Regional Emergency Preparedness Planning and Review
Committee. The Regional Plan is quite comprehensive. There is also an extensive resource manual. Both
are updated regularly.

Litsey then noted that teamwork is what makes emergency preparedness planning and operations work.
He stated it is his responsibility to keep elected officials informed of a disaster situation. Litsey
commented that there will be more emergency operations training this year.
Mayor Lizee stated it is important to remind residents about this topic. She noted that it is also important
to remind residents that they have a responsibility to be prepared for weather events.
C. Judy Voigt - Englund, Carver Park Reserve, Report on Activities
Mayor Lizde introduced Judy Voigt - Englund, with Carver Park Reserve, who is present to report on
activities. She noted that Ms. Voigt - Englund had brought information about the Twin Cities Osprey
Program. She stated that Program is quite impressive.
Ms. Voigt - Englund stated her primary reason for being here this evening is to give an update on the
osprey and his mate who have come back to the Badger Park cell phone tower for the third year in a row,
He is six years old and hatched near Schutz Lake at Carver Park Reserve. The first year on the tower he
and his mate raised three female ospreys. The second year they added one male and two females.
Ms. Voigt - Englund explained she has been working on the osprey reintroduction program for about 28
years starting in 1984. About 184 birds have been released over a 12 -year period beginning at Carver Park
Reserve. After those birds matured and started coming back to the nest there was an effort to monitor
where the osprey were nesting and band their young. There are 80 osprey nests in the Twin Cities area.
About one half the birds that are nesting in the Twin Cities area are banded. She has banded over 1000
baby osprey. About 110 chicks are added to the population in the Twin Cities each year. Three Rivers
Park District conducts a banding program at Carver Park that people can come and watch. The bands are
large enough in size to be read with binoculars and scouting scopes.
Ms. Voigt - Englund invited people to go to Carver Park Reserve to partake in adult programs offered
there. She highlighted a few of the programs offered. She stated experts from the Three Rivers Park
District are willing to come and speak to people about various topics of interest. She noted she is a
Shorewood resident.
Mayor Lizee stated from her perspective Ms. Voigt - Englund has a wonderful job. She commented that
she met her a many years ago. She asked Ms. Voigt- Englund what the impact of the early spring has been
on osprey and other things. Ms. Voigt- Englund explained birds are returning to the area earlier because
the entire country is warming up. Fortunately the trees that are leafing out are producing bugs to eat. It
has had an impact on the frog and salamander populations because of the limited snow insulation.
In response to a question from Mayor Lizee, Ms. Voigt - Englund explained the osprey chicks are six
weeks old when they are banded.
Mayor Lizee thanked Ms. Voigt - Englund for coming this evening.
PARKS
None.

Project 2012 ". Motion passed 5/0.
C. Approve the Apple Road Creek Restoration Grant Agreement
Mayor Lizee stated the meeting packet contains a draft copy of the Clean Water Grant Fund Work Order
between the City of Shorewood and the Minnesota Conservation Corps (MCC) as well as a copy of a
Staff memorandum. She noted that Bill Tomlinson. 22035 Stratford Place is in the audience. She
explained the Tomlinson family hosted an informational meeting for about ten neighbors about the tree
restoration project near East Stratford Place and Apple Road for the ditch restoration project. She noted
that she, Councilmember Siakel and Engineer Landini attended the meeting as did representatives from
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and Wenk & Associates. She clarified that this
evening Council is considering accepting the Work Order. She noted that this is one of the first steps in
the process.
Councihnember Woodruff thanked Mr. Tomlinson for emailing an alternative design to the City. He
commented he thought it was great to have a group of residents have their own engineering study
conducted. He stated from his perspective the opening paragraph in the Work Order is fuzzy. The second
sentence in the Work Order states "... which requires the Board to contract with the Conservation Corps
". The Board has not been defined before that reference but it refers to the Board of Water and Soil
Resources later in that sentence. He suggested the Board be defined up front. He noted he will not object
to approving the Work Order. Interim Administrator /Director Brown stated lie will clarify the Work
Order.
Councihnember Zerby stated he was pleased to receive a forwarded copy of Mr. Tomlinson's email and
the work the residents put into providing an alternate design.
Zerby moved, Siakel seconded, directing Staff to move forward with the Clean Water Grant Fund
Work Order between the City of Shorewood and the Minnesota Conservation Corps. Motion
passed 510.

Mayor L,iz6e stated the alternate design provided by Mr. Tomlinson is quite impressive. She noted the
design was forwarded to the City's consultant Wenk & Associates and to the MCWD. She stated as the
project progresses the City will be speaking with him and the other interested residents about the design.
Mr. Tomlinson stated the residents are comfortable with moving forward with the tree removal portion of
this project as soon as the MCC can do it.
Councilmember Woodruff asked Staff if it can provide him with a timeline for the various phases of the
project. Engineer Landini reviewed some of the steps identified laid out is the Staff report. The first step,
if the Work Order (for tree removal) is approved, is to have both parties sign the Work order. The next
step is for Wenk & Associates to finalize the vegetation plan. He will distribute it to the residents in the
area for approval. Woodruff then asked how the resident approval process will work, noting he does not
recollect residents approving City plans. Landini responded it is a meet in the middle type of agreement
made during the informational meeting. Woodruff also asked if the vegetation plan will be brought back
to Council for its approval. Landini explained the infrastructure portions of this effort will be presented to
Council for approval of quotes and bids. Woodruff expressed concern that he has not been provided with
any detail other than what Mr. Tomlinson suggested as a design. He wondered how far along this project
will go before Council gets more detailed information.
Councilmember Siakel explained that during the informational meeting with the residents Wenk &
Associates had provided a tentative plan. The intention was to work with the residents on the plan. She
stated Council has not had time to assess the alternate design sent by Mr. Tomlinson. She then stated this
project has to be considered from the perspective of it having multiple phases. The first step is to approve
the Work Order for tree removal. She went on to state that all parties involved have done a good job of
identifying which trees should be removed.
Councilmember Woodruff asked if there is an agreed upon plan for which trees will be removed.
Councilmember Siakel responded there is. Woodruff asked if that plan has to be approved by Council.
Mayor Liz6e stated there is no need for Council to approve that plan, and she explained the tree removal
plan will affect the design for the restoration portion of the project. The residents have worked with the
City, the MCWD and Wenk & Associates to reach agreement on what trees should be removed. Woodruff
expressed his sensitivity to the City assuming the authority for removal of trees on a set of properties
without the formality of a plan that has been reviewed and approved by Council. He cited a circumstance
a long time ago when some residents expressed concern about what they termed clear cutting at Gideon
Glen. lie recommended the scope of tree removal be approved upfront.
Mr. Tomlinson explained some residents thought the original tree removal proposal presented by Wenk &
Associates in January was too aggressive. The proposed reduction was to the point where grasses would
grow in the valley of the creek. A property owner at the corner of Stratford Place and Apple Road got the
conversation about this erosion problem going. He related that he and the other residents are appreciative
of the City working with the MCWD to address the substantial erosion that is occurring at the creek. IIe
stated all parties have cooperatively worked together to identify the number of trees that should be
removed.
Mayor Liz& noted this was identified as a drainage problem area a number of years ago. Engineer
Landini clarified it was identified in the City's 2006 Drainage Problem Areas Report and was ultimately
included in the Capital Improvement Plan.

Councilmember Woodruff asked Mr. Tomlinson if he thought the residents agree with the proposed tree
removal plan. Mr. Tomlinson stated the residents are agreeable to the plan and noted that Engineer
Landini has clearly marked all the trees that will be removed.
Mr. Tomlinson asked Engineer Landini if all of the removed trees will be utilized during the restoration
effort. Engineer Landini stated the MCC's goal is to use as much of the natural resources as possible in
the restoration. Landini explained the tree trunks will be placed down parallel to the creek to basically
create a water speed bump. Branches will be harvested for the brush bundles to line the edge of the creek.
Mr. Tomlinson then asked how those bundles will compare to bio logs (tubes filled with wood chips).
Landini explained the brush pile is the natural onsite material and the only additional thing that has to be
added is twine to hold them together.
10. GENERAL/NEW BUSINESS
A. Christmas Lake Access — Aquatic Invasive Species Inspection Program
Mayor Lizke stated the meeting packet contains a thorough memorandum from Staff about the Christmas
Lake access Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) inspection program.
Director Nielsen explained the AIS Working Group (comprised of Mayor Lizee, Councilmember Zerby,
Interim City Administrator Brown, Director Nielsen, Attorney Keane and Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District (MCWD) representatives) has been working on a plan intended to prevent, or at least slow down,
the introduction of zebra mussels into Christmas Lake. The intent is to provide 100 percent AIS
inspections at the Merry Lake access to Christmas Lake for the 2012 boating season. The MCWD has
offered to finance the 'first $10,000 of the pilot inspection program for 2012. The Christmas Lake
Homeowners Association (HOA) has agreed to pay the remainder of the cost. He noted the early ice out
and the unusually warm spring has advanced the 2012 boating season by at least three weeks. The original
plan was to get inspectors in place by May I" or the start of the fishing season. The hope is to have them
in place by April 21 ".
Nielsen noted there is urgency in approving the Cooperative Agreement between the City and the MCWD
and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Christmas Lake HOA, both in
effect for 2012, by April 21". lie noted copies of each are included in the meeting packet. He also noted
the Cooperative Agreement was approved by the MCWD Board last week. That document needs to be
approved by Council this evening to meet the inspection timetable. Approval of the MOU could be
delayed until the next Council meeting.
Nielsen displayed a map of how the landing will work. He stated some additional signage is needed at the
landing. Some of it can be obtained from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Some will
need to be a custom order.
Nielsen stated he received comments from Councilmember Woodruff regarding the two documents. He
asked Woodruff if he wanted to explain therm.
Councilmember Woodruff commented that in many ways the City, the MCWD and the HOA are plowing
new ground with this interesting pilot project. He stated the MOU is clear about what the expectations of
the HOA are relating to start and end dates, duration of inspections (i.e., hours per day and days per
week), and the inspection price per hour. Those items are not included in the Cooperative Agreement with
the MCWD. The Agreement mentions including a budget but no budget exists. From his perspective,
nothing states how much the inspectors are going to cost the City. The City will pay the bill and then be

April 9, 2012
Page 8 of 10
reimbursed by the MCWD or the HOA. He strongly recommended the Cooperative Agreement include
start and end dates, number of hours per day, number of days per week, and the hourly inspection rate. He
stated that would make it a complete business agreement and it allows the MOU to stand on that as an
agreement between the City and the FICA,
Director Nielsen stated that can be clarified in the Cooperative Agreement.
Councilmember Woodruff asked if the schedule and the hourly rate have been agreed to by the MCWD.
Director Nielsen explained the price per hour has been quoted to the MCWD by VOLT. That rate is what
the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District pays for inspections.
Director Nielsen stated the MOU will be amended to include two additional items in the expectations for
the HOA. Currently the MOU stipulates in expectation #6 that "From April 21, 2012, through May 28,
2012, inspections will end at 8 pm, even though the boat ramp will be open until 10 pm." The Group and
the President of the HOA have agreed to add an expectation #7 which will state "From May 29, 2012,
through September 3, 2012, inspections will end at 9 pm. ", and an expectation #8 which will state "From
September 4, 2012, through October 31, 2012, inspections will end at 8 pm ".
Councilmember Woodruff stated the Cooperative Agreement is okay provided it is amended to include
the schedule. He noted that the MCWD will be responsible for hiring and scheduling the inspectors. To
avoid discrepancies in expectations that needs to be clarified. Director Nielsen stated that can be added to
the Agreement.
Woodruff then stated the MOU refers to level 1 and level 2 inspectors. The Cooperative Agreement only
refers to level I. He suggested taking the reference to level 2 out of the MOU. Ile stated there needs to be
a clarification of what level 1 means. He noted that Council has been provided with a table describing
what the responsibilities of a level 1 inspector are. They are defined in State Statute. He suggested that be
included in the MOU. Councilmember Zerby stated a reference to State Statute could be included in the
MOU. Woodruff stated he was not sure if that doesn't come from a number of different statutes.
Woodruff then stated the table clearly describes what the responsibilities are and he would like to see it
attached to the MOU.
Woodruff asked what the HOA's expectation of its cost will be. He suggested including in the MOU what
the approximate cost ($38,000) to the MOU will be based on the schedule. Councilmember Zerby stated
he has participated in the discussions and the HOA is well aware of what the cost to them could be.
Councilmember Zerby stated for the purpose of discussion he wanted to make a motion.
Zerby moved, Siaket seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 12 -025 "A Resolution Authorizing
the Mayor and the City Administrator to Enter Into a Cooperative Agreement with the Minnehaha
Creek Watershed District to Provide Aquatic Invasive Species Inspection Services at the Public
Access on Christmas Lake for the Year 2012 ", and Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 12 -026 "A
Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and Interim City Administrator to Enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Christmas Lake Association to Provide Aquatic Invasive Species Inspection
Services at the Public Access on Christmas Lake for 2012" pending the inclusions of the City
Attorney's and Staffs comments.
Councilmember Woodruff asked if the maker of the motion would entertain including the schedule and
the budget in the Cooperative Agreement. Councilmember Zerby stated the HOA intends to cover all of
the costs above $10,000 for the inspection program during the hours specified in the amended MOU.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Woodruff stated the Cooperative Agreement states the City gets to approve a budget, but the City has not
been provided a budget. Zerby stated the budget is subject to operating hours, weather conditions and
other things. Woodruff stated based on those comments Council is in effect going to approve a blank
check. Zerby clarified the MOU stipulates a specific amount of time. Woodruff stated the Cooperative
Agreement doesn't stipulate that, and the only money mentioned in the Agreement is $10,000 that the
MCWD is willing to contribute toward the pilot program. Zerby stated the MOU stipulates the number of
hours and the cost per hour. Woodruff stated that is not included in the Agreement with the MCWD,
noting the City is obligated to pay the MCWD whatever it bills the City.
Councilmember Zerby stated he is comfortable with the motion he made.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he is extremely uncomfortable, and that he believes it is a bad business
decision.
Councilmember Siakel asked if Staff or Attorney Keane have an opinion about this.
Attorney Keane stated to Director Nielsen that they have been through the cost projections. He asked
Nielsen if he had any concerns about the presentation and the City's commitments. Nielsen responded not
as long as the MOU is amended to include the additional expectations about the schedule for inspections.
Nielsen stated the amount projected to the Group was probably low because at the time the intent was to
have inspections through the end of September. The HOA wants the inspections to go through the end of
October.
Mayor Lizde stated she is comfortable with how the agreements have come about. She noted that the
MCWD and the HOA are responsible for paying all inspection related costs. The City is not responsible.
Motion passed 4/1 with Woodruff dissenting for reasons stated.
Director Nielsen stated there is also a request for additional signage. Council will be provided with
information about what the signs will look like during the next Council meeting. He then stated there is a
request for $750 in funding for additional signs, materials for the new message board, compost bin, and
some Public Works time and volunteer labor. He asked Council to consider authorizing that expenditure.
Zerby moved, Hotvet seconded, authorizing the expenditure of funds for additional signs, materials
for the new message board, compost bin, and some Public Works time and volunteer labor for an
amount not to exceed $750. Motion passed 4/1 with Woodruff dissenting.
