PUBLIC HEARING None, 6. REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS A. Report on Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission Activities by Representative Joseph Huber and Recognition of Service Joe Huber, the City's representative to the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission (LMCC), thanked Council for the opportunity to serve as the City's representative on the LMCC. He noted he found it to be an interesting experience. Mr. Huber gave a report on LMCC activities. For approximately three decades the LMCC has served its member City Councils, the business and community organizations and cable subscribers in those LMCC member cities with national award winning programing and production. All of that came from the "stone soup" of community participation and PEG (public, education and government) fee and franchise fee contributions made by Mediacom cable television subscribers. In recent years, the availability of programming was extended to many more by having selected programming available via the internet. CITY OF SIIOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13, 2014 Page 3 of 11 During prior Council meetings there have been discussions about the implications of the withdrawal of some of the member cities on the budget available for these services. Five of the seventeen member cities have withdrawn — Medina, Minnetrista, Orono, Tonka Bay and Victoria. The withdrawal of those five cities amounts to a loss of roughly 40 percent in revenues. Shorewood now represents nearly 25 percent of the revenues. Changes are currently being made to bring expenses in line with revenues. There have been staff layoffs and others have had their hours reduced. Most notable is the LMCC Executive Director will be reduced to a half time. Changes include services to a category of public organizations beyond the LMCC member City Councils. The LMCC has been asked to pay the cost of the contract producer that records their proceedings. Similar organizations have paid that cost historically. Another change is to ask all organizations in the same category to contribute to the cost of agenda parsing as well as uploading services that make the meetings viewable on the internet. Without those contributions those services will cease. LMCC staff is stretching every dollar and taking care to preserve a core of services. Contractual arrangements are in place with Mediacom to make LMCC programming available only to subscribers in member cities no later than February 28, 2014. It's not known if Mediacom built its network on city boundaries. If it did not the Shorewood residents near the border with Victoria might be affected if an error in execution occurs. If that happens, those residents should contact Mediacom and the LMCC promptly. Although these changes might be controversial they are necessary. They are important fast steps and additional changes will be required to rightsize expenses. The LMCC adopted the two proposed amendments to the LMCC joint powers agreement (JPA) during the October 14, 2013, LMCC meeting. The amendments received approval from 100 percent of member cities and were effective January 1, 2014. The LMCC adopted a fee for service structure so that non - member cities may purchase services from the LMCC. He served on that workgroup. Dollar for dollar there is a cost advantage to retaining LMCC membership versus withdrawing and purchasing services. Franchise negotiations between the LMCC and Mediacom are still in progress. There are some issues that still need to be resolved. The two parties have negotiated a contract extension into 2014. One of the important lessons that should be learned from this past year's experience is the limitations and risks of joint powers organizations. He recommended the Shorewood Council keep an eye on the potential impact of higher speed broadband internet access as it relates to the desirability of living in or doing business in the South Lake area and possibly to real estate values. Nothing needs to be done right now because it appears that Mediacom and CenturyLink are active at this time. Mr. Huber again thanked Council for this experience. On behalf of the Council and the residents of Shorewood, Mayor Zerby thanked Mr. Huber for his year of service as the City's representative to the LMCC and presented him with a plaque of appreciation and recognition. He noted that Mr. Huber did an outstanding job and that he cannot think of another resident in the City that could have done a better job or been more qualified. He stated that Mr. Huber served his CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 1.3,2014 Page 4 of 11 term too briefly from Council's perspective. But, it amounted to about three years of work when it came to the amount of stress it placed on Mr. Huber. EW -61TIV A. Report by Mark Kjolhaug on the December 10, 2013, Park Commission Meeting Because Park Commissioner Kjolhaug was not present Director Nielsen reported on matters considered and actions taken at the December 10, 2013, Park Commission meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting). B. Approval of Proposals for Survey and Soils Exploration for the Badger Park Improvement Project Director Nielsen explained the City has received proposals for survey work and soil exploration work that needs to be done before making improvements to Badger Park regardless of which concept for Badger Park improvements is approved. American Engineering Testing, Inc., (AET) submitted a proposal for the deep soil boring for an amount not to exceed $4,350. WSB & Associates submitted a proposal for a topographical survey of the Park for an-amount not to exceed $5,400. If the City wants boundary survey work done that would cost an additional amount not to exceed $800. Councilmember Siakel stated she supports this because it is a necessary next step Siakel moved, Hotvet seconded, approving the soils exploration proposal from American Engineering Testing, Inc., (AFT) for an amount not to exceed $4,350 and the topographical survey proposal from WSB & Associates for an amount not to exceed $5,400. Motion passed 510. Mayor Zerby asked when that work will be done. Engineer Homby responded the survey work will be scheduled right away and AET will be contacted right away to get the soil boring on its schedule. Director Brown clarified the work will not be done until after the Arctic Fever snow sculpture event is done. 1� 9 /I�a►`Il.rl1 A. Report by Tom Geng on the January 7, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting Because Planning Commission Chair Geng was not present Director Nielsen reported on matters considered and actions taken at the January 7, 2014, Planning Commission meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting). Mayor Zerby noted that he has met with representatives from the Minnetonka School District about a month ago and learned that the District needs to add the classrooms to accommodate the mandate to offer all -day kindergarten. B. Open House for Galpin Lake Road and Mill Street Trail Segments Director Nielsen stated the Planning Commission has scheduled an open house for the Galpin Lake Road and Mill Street trail segments for January 21, 2014, to present the feasibility studies for those two trail segments. The open house will be held from 5:00 — 7:00 P.M. in the Media Room of the Excelsior Elementary School. Residents have been noticed of the event. The Trail Implementation Plan will be CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13, 2014 Page 5 of 11 available for residents to look at. There will also be long rollout drawings similar to those that were available for the Smithtown Road west sidewalk open house. Councilmember Hotvet asked if representatives from Hennepin County will be at the open house. Director Nielsen responded no and stated Council and the Planning Commissioners have been invited. Director Nielsen noted that staff will convey to those in attendance that the Mill Street segment has not been budgeted for. 9. ENGINEERING /PUBLIC WORKS A. Authorize Staff to Execute the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Funding Agreement for the Apple Road Streambank Stabilization Project Engineer Homby noted that the copy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) Funding Agreement for the Apple Road Streambank Stabilization Project included in the meeting packet is similar to what Council has seen before. He explained that in the Agreement under Maintenance of the Project the old version stipulated the MCWD could require reimbursement of its funds for up to ten years if the City failed to maintain any portion of the Project in accordance with easement and declaration. Council and staff did not think that time period was reasonable. The MCWD softened the language such that if there is a disagreement about whether or not the maintenance is being performed as stipulated the two parties are required to work together to try to resolve it. It includes a reimbursement clause that terminates after either three years when the vegetation is approved or after a maximum of five years. Under Acknowledgement and Publicity in the Agreement the City is required to create and put up informational and educational signage at the site acknowledging that the project was cooperatively funded by the two entities. And, if the City distributes any public information about the site that same acknowledgement would have to be included in it. The MCWD will fund up to 50 percent or $21,812.50 whichever is less. The City will also get some sediment load allocation reduction which is estimated to be about 39 tons per year and seven pounds of phosphorous reduction. He noted the meeting packet contains a copy of a draft resolution approving the Agreement for Council's consideration. Mayor Zerby expressed his appreciation for the efforts put forth on this by Attorney Keane, Engineer Horaby, Administrator Joynes and others involved. Sundberg moved, Siakel seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION No. 14 -004, "A Resolution Approving Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Funding Agreement for the Apple Road Streambank Improvement Project, City Project No. 11 -15." Councilmember Siakel asked what an educational sign would be. Engineer Hornby responded a typical small plaque stating the stabilization project was cooperatively funded by the City and the MCWD. Councilmember Woodruff applauded staff for working with the MCWD to get the language softened. He expressed concern that for an amount of up to $21,812.50 the MCWD is asking the City to make a commitment to pay that money back if it does not maintain the site as stipulated for up to a maximum of five years. He also expressed concern that the MCWD wants to have part of the phosphorous reduction CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13, 2014 Page 6 of 11 and sediment reduction in return for the amount of money it contributed toward the project. He believes the sediment and phosphorous reduction would be worth far more than the $21,812.50 the MCWD may give to the City. He stated his preference is for the City to pay for the project itself and keep the reductions. Mayor Zerby stated from his perspective the commitment is to the City's residents and not to the MCWD. The MCWD is not benefiting directly from the City maintaining the property. He noted he thought the Agreement is a pretty fair deal for the City. Councilmember Woodruff stated that it is his recollection that a long time ago the City had a load reduction requirement of about forty pounds per year. This project would do about one - fourth of that. That is a big deal and is worth far more than $21,000. Motion passed 411 with Woodruff dissenting. 10. GENERAL /NEW BUSINESS A. Making Appointments to Certain Offices and Positions within the City of Shorewood for 2014 Administrator Joynes explained that State Stature requires Council to take certain action at its first annual meeting of the year. This includes designation of the official newspaper and electing an acting mayor for the remainder of the year. It also stipulates that Council do a number of other things annually including selecting the official depository for City funds and assigning committee duties as Council sees fit. He reminded Council that it appointed liaisons to the Planning Commission and Park Commission during its December 9, 2013, meeting. He noted that the City has not received citizen applications to serve on three committees. He noted the meeting packet contains a copy of the resolution making appointments Council adopted for 2013. Councilmember Woodruff stated for the last few years he has been appointed to serve as the representative to Metro Cities. He offered to do that again and suggested that the League of Minnesota (LMC) be bundled with that and he will do both. He then stated the City's representative to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) is leaving that position so he suggested a member of Council be appointed to that position until a replacement can be found. Councilmember Siakel reminded him that Council asked outgoing appointee Mark Sylvester if he would be willing to continue in that capacity until his replacement can be found. Woodruff asked staff to confirm that and inform Mr. Sylvester that could go on for a while. Woodruff moved, Siakel seconded, adopting RESOLUTION NO. 14 -005, "Making Appointments to Certain Offices and Positions within the City of Shorewood for the Year 2014" the same as they were for 2013 subject to adding the League of Minnesota Cities to the Metro Cities item. 1.

That the Blanket Bond (Official Bonds) is approved. That such appointments shall take effect on the date hereof and shall continue for the remainder of the year or until such time as a successor is appointed by the City Council. Motion passed 510. B. Proposed 2014 Contract for Public Works, AFSCME Local 224 Administrator Joynes highlighted the changes made to this year's labor union contract for Public Works union employees represented by AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) Local 224. It includes a wage rate increase of 2 percent effective January 1, 2014, across all categories of the contract. On -call compensation changed from "8 hours of straight time" to "10 hours of straight time ". That is consistent with area practice. The arrangement for providing cold weather gear has been changed to a system where employees are given an allowance of $125 per years and it is their responsibility to secure and maintain insulated gear for cold weather. The cost to the City is the same. The City's insurance contribution will remain at $900 per month based on the new insurance policy. The duration of the contract is one year. All other terms and condition remain the same as in the 2013 contract. He recommended approval of the contract proposal. Siakel moved, Sundberg seconded, approving the 2014 contract proposal for Public Works, AFSME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) Local 224 as presented and directing staff to make the listed changes for contract year 2014. Motion passed 510. CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13, 2014 Page 8 of 11 C. 2014 Staff Compensation Administrator Joynes stated the meeting packet contains a copy of a recommendation for non -union staff compensation calculations. He explained that 2 percent increase is recommended across the board for those employees. Some increases will be to the employee's base wage and others will receive a lump sum payment because of where their salaries fit in to area averages. Based on the available funds for 2014 there would be $3,681 remaining after the across the board 2 percent increases. He proposed that an additional $1,227 in merit bonus be given to Twila Grout and to Julie Moore for what he believes was the exceptional service each provided in taking over and maintaining the operations of the Southshore Community Center during the transition in 2013. He also proposed a $1,227 merit bonus for Joe Pazandak for his efforts in coordinating repairs and making some himself on his own time for the house located on the former City -owned property on Country Club Road. He noted that the Personnel Committee supports his recommendations. Siakel moved, Sundberg seconded, approving the 2014 non -union salary compensation plan recommended by the Personnel Committee as presented. Motion passed 5/0. D. Approval of Rate Structure for Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater Charges This item was removed from the agenda at Administrator Joynes's request. E. Approval of the 2014 — 2023 Capital Improvement Program and 2014 Enterprise Budgets This item was removed from the agenda at Administrator Joynes's request. 11. OLD BUSINESS A. Animal Ordinance Proposed Amendment Director Nielsen explained that during its October 28, 2013, meeting Council approved an ordinance related to uniform animal control in the area served by the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD). That ordinance included a section limiting the number of cats that could be kept on residential property to three. During that meeting Council discussed the need to amend the ordinance to address the situation where a property owner was granted a home occupation conditional use permit (C.U.P.) for a cat boarding business. The meeting packet contains a copy of a simple amendment addressing that. Councilmember Hotvet stepped out of the meeting for a brief moment. Woodruff moved, Siakel seconded, Approving ORDINANCE NO. 506 "An Ordinance Amending Section 701.07 of the Shorewood City Code — Limitation on the Number of Cats." Motion passed 4/0. Mayor Zerby asked Director Nielsen to communicate this to the SLMPD. Councilmember Hotvet returned to the meeting. CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13,2014 Page 9 of 11 12. STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS A. Administrator and Staff 1. Monthly Financial Report The meeting packet contained a copy of the November 2013 General Fund Monthly Budget Report. 2. Retreat Agenda Administrator Joynes stated Council has been provided with a list of items that could be on the agenda for the February 2014 Council and staff retreat. The list was four pages long. He asked each member of Council to rate them based on their personal perspective with 3 being a high priority, 2 being a medium priority, 1 being a low priority and 0 for items that are not important to them at this time. The ratings for each item will be tabulated and the top items will be on the agenda. He asked Council to get that back to him by January 22. 3. Traffic Data Collection on Country Club Road Director Brown stated the replacement traffic display signs are up and functioning. Staff is able to pull information off of them. He noted he will present data from the two signs during Council's January 27, 2014, meeting. Other Director DeJong stated the Finance Department has been very busy the last few weeks. The City went live on the general ledger and accounts payable components of the new financial system. The payroll component will go live on January 14. The cash receipts, budgeting and bank reconciliation will go live this week. Springbrook staff is on site this week Councilmember Woodruff stated he did not see a withdrawal for his utility bill on his last bank statement. Director DeJong stated that may have been processed on January 2, 2014. B. Mayor and City Council 1. Correspondence from Gary Connell Mayor Zerby noted the meeting packet contains a copy of a letter from Gary Connell asking the Council to reconsider its approval of the Summit Woods planned unit development (PUD) concept plan. And, at the beginning of the meeting Administrator Joynes noted that at the dais Council found two other documents related to the proposed PUD. (A copy of the document from Mr. Connell and the document from Best & Flanagan can be found on file.) He explained Mr. Connell indicated that road safety issues may be a basis for reconsideration. The letter from Attorney Thomas J. Radio with Best & Flanagan (on behalf of the Murray Hill neighbors) also talks Summit Avenue safety concerns as well as roadway maintenance costs in Shorewood and the City of Chanhassen, broader impact, involving staff from the Chanhassen in the discussion about the PUD and so forth. He noted a motion to reconsider can only be made by one of the three people who voted in favor of approving the concept plan. Ile asked if any of the three wanted to make a motion to reconsider. No motion was made to reconsider the approval of the Summit Woods PUD concept plan. CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13, 2014 Page 10 of 11 2. Correspondence from Libby Larsen Administrator Joynes noted the City received a letter from Shorewood resident Libby Larsen (who may consider purchasing property on Enchanted Island) requesting that some archaeological research be done on Enchanted Island. He asked Council if it wants the City to move forward with having that research done. Councilmember Woodruff stated that rumor has it that Enchanted Island did have significant Native American presence at one point in time. He then stated there is not much developable land on the Island but there are properties where the houses are candidates for being torn down and reconstructed. Therefore, he thought it would be worthwhile for the City to understand the situation. He asked that Shady Island also be added to the research effort. Administrator Joynes stated staff will ask the State Archaeologist to do the initial study Other Mayor Zerby noted the next stage in the Summit Woods planned unit development (PLC) process is the Development Stage. Director Nielsen explained the Development Stage is primarily a preliminary plat. The developer has made application and the goal is to have the Planning Commission hold a public hearing on that during its February 5, 2014, meeting provided that the application is complete. A public hearing notice will be sent to residents within the 500 foot radius of the site; that was also done for the concept, stage public hearing. Mayor Zerby noted there will be at least two opportunities to take public input during consideration of the preliminary plat. Councilmember Sundberg stated she has received several emails about the PUD and she has read them all. She noted she cannot respond to them because open meeting laws are very clear about that. Mark Sass a member of the audience, stated he attended- a meeting of the Orono City Council regarding the possible development of the Lakeview Golf Course. He thought there has been a lot more communication about what was going on with that project then there has been about the Summit Woods PUD. From his perspective Orono set a lot of expectations upfront. For Summit Woods he does not think there was any discussion about how things were going to be handled. He thought it would be beneficial if there were would be more open dialogue. From his vantage point Orono handled things very well. He asked that more information be provided to residents in both cities during this next stage in the process. Mayor Zerby stated Council makes a concerted effort to be open and have transparent conversation about this PUD. If Council is not doing as good of a job as it should it would like to rectify that. He asked staff to help Council follow the appropriate process. Mr. Sass stated the developer for the Lakeview Golf Course property held 2 — 3 open meetings before the Orono Council even considered the amendment to Orono's Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Zerby stated the Summit Woods PUD developer has reached out to residents. People in audience disagreed with that. CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 13, 2014 Page 11 of 11 Councilmember Woodruff stated he attended both Planning Commission meetings when the Public Hearing on the Summit Woods PUD was held. He does not understand what was not discussed during the Hearing. Some people wanted a level of detail that a developer is not required to provide in the Concept Stage. That detail will be required in the next stage in the PUD process which is the Development Stage. He encouraged people to attend the Public Hearing the Planning Commission will hold for the preliminary plat. Council will consider the preliminary plat after the Commission makes its recommendation to Council. The PUD process the City follows provides for a lot of opportunity for people to listen and to comment. Councilmember Sandberg clarified that consideration of the Summit Woods PUD is far from done. She stated the detail is flushed out during the Development Stage which is the second stage in Shorewood's three -step PUD process. She noted everyone has a lot of questions they would like to have answered. In response to a woman in the audience, Mayor Zerby clarified that the only thing that has been approved to date in the Sununu Woods PUD concept plan. Councilmember Woodruff stated Council approval is required for both of the next two stages in the Shorewood PUD process before the PUD can move forward. Councilmember Siakel noted that Council recognizes there are some complicated issues that need to be addressed. She anticipates there will be some fairly hearty discussions during the second stage of the PUD process. There will be plenty of opportunity for residents to have more input. She clarified approval of the PUD is not a done deal. Mayor Zerby stated the Arctic Fever event starts at 5:30 P.M. on Friday, January 17. It runs through Sunday. There is a lot of information about the event activities on the website www.aretiefever.net. He then stated the League of Women Voters South Tonka will host a "lively issues in our Community" forum on January 15 starting at 7:00 P.M. at the Southshore Community Center. The Mayors of Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood, Tonka Bay and Woodland are each invited to speak about significant local issues. Their opening statements are to be no more than 10 minutes long. Then members of the audience are invited to submit written questions which will be combined into subject matters and then asked of the Mayors. Zerby congratulated Director DeJong and the Finance Department for the City receiving a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. He thanked them for their efforts. 13. ADJOURN Woodruff moved, Siakel seconded, Adjourning the City Council Regular Meeting of January 13, 2014, at 8:02 P.M. Motion passed 510.
