4. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
George Greenfield, 24715 Yellowstone Trail, noted that his reason for being present was to challenge two
assertions made during the public hearing held during the July 14, 2016, special Council meeting. The
hearing was about tax increment financing (TIF) related to Oppidan Investment Company's Shorewood
Senior Living development.
Mr. Greenfield explained he cannot challenge the first assertion because he has not received the
information from the City regarding wage history for people working in the Public Works Department
between 1990 and now. It was his recollection that during that meeting Councilmember Siakel made the
assertion that the City was scrupulous about making sure that wages retained their value through the
years. He asked what the evidence for that assertion was. Mayor Zerby noted that there was no need to
answer that question and stated he appreciated the comments. Mr. Greenfield stated from his perspective
that is a violation of the law; that public information needs to be provided.
Mr. Greenfield stated he wanted to challenge the assertion that the deal with Oppidan "was just like
buying a bond from Goldman Sachs ". He explained he had a financial professional help him understand a
printout dated July 14, 2016. A reference was made to a 4 percent payment the City of Shorewood was
going to get. According to his professional the 4 percent payment was labeled an interfund loan; a
payment made by Shorewood from one of its funds to another of its funds. It is not coming from Oppidan.
Therefore, he does not consider it to be like a bond. He considered it to be like him taking 4 percent of the
money he puts in his checking account and transferring it to his savings account and then saying he had
more money. He considers that to be an accounting trick.
He noted he does not consider the deal to be a liquid deal. If there were to be an economic crisis
Shorewood could not cash in. He explained if he owned a bond and had an economic difficulty he could
sell the bond at any time in order to deal with that difficulty. He does not think the Shorewood deal
resembles a bond at all.
He then noted the second sheet of the document states a note rate of 5.5 percent. He explained his
professional told him that figure refers to money the City of Shorewood will pay to Oppidan when the
improvements are put in. He asked whoever heard of a bond where the holder of the bond pays interest to
the issuer of the bond. He thought that is unheard of, there is no such thing.
Mr. Greenfield stated from his vantage point the analogy between the deal with Oppidan and a bond is
ridiculous.

B. Setback Variance
Applicant: Chris Hamdorf
Location: 26425 Arbor Creek Lane
Director Nielsen explained Chris and Amy Hamdorf own the property at 26425 Arbor Creek Lane. They
propose to build a 12 foot by 12 foot garden shed at the rear of their property about 5 feet from the rear lot
line. That necessitates about a 45 foot variance from the rear lot line. The property is zoned R -IA, Single -
family Residential and contains 40,620 square feet of area. The entire southeasterly corner is all drainage
and utility easement. Therefore, there is a very limited buildable area for a lot that size. There are the
normal 10 foot drainage and utility easements around the rest of the perimeter. The school yard at the
Minnewashta Elementary School is located to the south of the applicants' property.
When staff initially spoke with the applicants about their proposal staff suggested the possibility of
locating the shed to the west of the existing sport court which would have met setbacks and been out of
the drainage and utility easements. After walking the site staff agreed that area is subject to storm water
flow. The proposed location for the shed is high and dry. The proposed location would have the shed
much farther from surrounding residences than if it were located west of the sport court.
Nielsen noted the Planning Commission thought the request met the practical difficulty criteria for
granting a variance and unanimously recommended approval of the setback variance.
Councilmember Sundberg asked if the area between the applicants' property and the School is fenced.
Director Nielsen clarified it is.
Chris Hamdorf, 26425 Arbor Creek Lane, reiterated the proposed location of the shed is the highest area
of their yard as well as the driest area.
Sundberg moved, Siakel seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 16 -062 "A Resolution Granting
Setback Variance for an Accessory Building to Chris Hamdorf, 26425 Arbor Creek Lane." Motion
passed 510.
Discussion moved to Item 10.A on the agenda.
9. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
A. Waterford Area Traffic Speed Study
This item was discussed after Item 10.13 on the agenda.
Engineer Hornby noted the meeting packet contained a copy of a memorandum from him as well as a
copy of a speed study the Waterford Area Home Owners submitted a petition for. Speed data was
collected on Old Market Road and Waterford Place over a consecutive 48 hours period. The data shows
that between Old Market Road and Vine Hill Road vehicles generally traveled at the statutory speed of 30
miles per hour (mph) yet the posted speed was 25 mph. On Old Market Road south of Waterford Place
vehicles traveled at 32 miles per hour. On Old Market Road north of Waterford Place vehicles traveled at
36 mph. The speed traveled on the north side may have been higher because of the downhill slope. Old
Market Road is also posted at 25 mph.
The drivers exceeding the speed on Waterford Place generally do so between 6:00 — 8:00 A.M. Those
exceeding the speed on Old Market Road generally do so between 2:00 — 7:00 P.M.

Homby noted staff is asking Council to direct staff to contact the South Lake Minnetonka Police
Department (SLMPD) and request targeted speed enforcement during the times just mentioned and to
monitor the traveled speeds.
Mayor Zerby stated from his vantage point Council and staff are starting to refine a policy on how to
address some of the concerns residents have about traffic.
There was Council consensus to have staff contact SLMPD staff about targeted enforcement on
Waterford Place between 6:00 — 8:00 A.M. and on Old Market Road between 2:00 — 7:00 P.M.
B. Authorize the Expenditure of Funds for Communications Network and Installation
for Municipal Water System
Director Brown explained the City has four well houses, two water towers and a metering station that
should ultimately communicate with each other to ensure there are proper water levels and to ensure the
pumps get turned on when they are supposed to. If there is an issue on call staff should be notified in a
timely manner. The City uses leased phone lines from CenturyLink to communicate between the well
houses and water towers. There have been numerous issues with them. Over the last year one phone line
works sporadically and the technician has not been able to make it more reliable. The City has
traditionally relied on solutions which require special engineers and technicians called integrators that
typically come up with a tailor made solution. That is quite costly.
Staff researched off the shelf systems and came across one called Mission Communication Network. The
City of Deephaven uses that system. Staff at Deephaven had nothing but good things to say about the
system. Missions Communication's system is very secure. It does online monitoring and control for the
water system.
Staff solicited proposals from three vendors for the Mission Communication Network. The low quote
received was from Tech Sales Company. for an amount of $29,571.40. The quote includes seven control
and transmitter stations, a three -year subscription service and a one -year parts warranty. The annual
subscription service cost is $3,943.80 per year and it is for four well houses, two water towers and an
underground vault. The City currently pays just over $11,000 in leased line costs annually. The City
integrator (aka Primex Controls) will be needed to help with the installation effort. The cost for that will
be on a time and materials basis not to exceed $16,000.
Brown noted staff recommends Council accept the proposal from Tech Sales in the amount of $29,571.40
and authorizing the installation by Primex Controls for a time and materials cost not to exceed $16,000.
Mayor Zerby stated he thought that this was important do to because water is a critical service the City
provides. He then stated the difference in the three quotes was less than $200 apart from lowest to highest.
From his perspective, he thought staff should decide which vendor has the best equipment. Director
Brown stated Tech Sales is a very well -known company, very reputable and it is local.
Siakel moved, Woodruff seconded, accepting the proposal from Tech Sales Company for a
communications network for the municipal water system for an amount not to exceed $29,571.40
and authorizing the installation by Primex Controls for a time and materials amount not to exceed
$16,000. Motion passed 510.
C. Authorize the Expenditure of Funds for Communications Network and Installation
for Sanitary Sewer System
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
August 8, 2016
Page 5 of 10
Director Brown noted that this item is very similar to Item 9.B above except it is for the City's wastewater
system. The major difference is this requires 15 control and transmitter stations for the City's 15 Lift
Stations thereby costing more.
Brown noted staff recommends Council accept the proposal from Tech Sales in the amount of $58,696.00
and authorizing the installation by Primex Controls for a time and materials cost not to exceed $16,000.
He clarified the annual subscription service cost is $8,451.00 per year for the 15 Lift Stations
Councilmember Woodruff explained he thought that about eight years ago Public Works embarked on a
project to update the Lift Stations with the Superior Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System. He
thought part of that was to include a cellular communication capability and software that would allow
remote monitoring of the Lift Stations. He thought most of the Lift Stations had been upgraded. Based on
what he has read what is being proposed will replace what Public Works has done. He asked why the City
should do what is proposed.
Director Brown clarified that 6 of the 15 Lift Stations have modems in them and are therefore the only
ones online. He explained that each time the City gets an integrator involved they want to install a tailor
made solution. The integrators are slow to respond to issues. Since he joined the City there has been a
desire to have a uniform system for all 15 Lift Stations. He noted for both the water system and
wastewater system proposals he asked for quotes from the integrators. None were submitted. Staff then
chose to go with an off the shelf system.
Brown explained dollar amounts spent on the Lift Stations included electronic panel rehabs which will
still be needed. The communications system and model for alarming costs about $700 and that is
currently in 6 of the Lift Stations.
Councilmember Woodruff asked if it is correct that the replacement of the six already upgraded Lift
Stations will cost about $700 each. Director Brown confirmed that. Woodruff then stated the bulk of the
cost will be to upgrade those nine Lift Stations that have not yet been upgraded with a cellular
communications system. Brown clarified it would also be added to the other six. He explained the model
technology in the six Lift Stations will be phased out at the end of the year because it uses 2G technology
for the phone service. Woodruff stated the good news for him is the City does not have to get rid of the
controls technology in the six Lift Stations.
Director Brown noted the Mission Communication Network has an upgrade guarantee.
Councilmember Woodruff asked Director DeJong if the histogram for the Sewer Fund provided for the
work session preceding this meeting includes the cost for the sewer system. DeJong responded it was not
included. Woodruff noted there is money in the Sewer Fund to pay for that.
Mayor Zerby asked if both the water system and the sewer system will be on the same Mission
Communication Network. Director Brown responded yes.
Siakel moved, Labadie seconded, accepting the proposal from Tech Sales Company for a
communications network for the sanitary sewer system for an amount not to exceed $58,686.00 and
authorizing the installation by Primex Controls for a time and materials amount amount not to
exceed $16,000. Motion passed 510.
Mayor Zerby asked if this will be installed by the end of the year. Director Brown confirmed that.

Discussion moved to Item 11.A.1 on the agenda.
10. GENERAL/NEW BUSINESS
A. South Lake Minnetonka Police Department 2017 Operating Budget
This was discussed after Item 8.13 on the agenda.
South Lake Minnetonka Police Department ( SLMPD) Chief Meehan explained that the SLMPD
Coordinating Committee reviewed a proposed 2017 Operating Budget during its July 13, 2016, meeting.
After a minor adjustment the Budget was recommended for approval to the SLMPD member City
Councils on a unanimous vote. The budget has already been approved by the Excelsior, Greenwood and
Tonka Bay City Councils.
He then explained the Committee has had discussions about the funding formula in the SLMPD Joint
Powers Agreement (JPA). That discussion will continue. There was an arbitration ruling in 2006 that
established the funding formula. The formula establishes the percentage of the funding for the operating
budget each member city has to pay. Since 2006 the funding formula has been reset twice. If an
amendment to the JPA was adopted to adjust the formula the member cities percentages could change for
2017. If the Committee recommends an amendment for adoption each member City Council would also
have to adopt the amendment.
Chief Meehan when on to explain the Committee has also had discussion about governance. The
discussion primarily centered on the possibility of Shorewood's vote carrying more weight. That idea has
been presented to the member City Councils. It is his understanding the Tonka Bay and Greenwood
Councils are amenable to the idea. The Excelsior Council is waiting for some additional information from
SLMPD staff before discussing the idea. If the JPA was amended it would give Shorewood two of five
Coordinating Committee votes. Mayor Zerby had proposed that because Shorewood's share of the
operating budget funding is approaching 50 percent he thought it would be fairer for Shorewood's vote to
be worth more than the vote of each of the other three member cities.
Mayor Zerby complimented Chief Meehan for his efforts. He explained that was the first time since he
was a member of the Committee that the Committee recommended approval of an operating budget
during the same meeting it was first reviewed.
Zerby noted the 2017 Operating Budget includes restoring a position that has been vacant for a while.
Chief Meehan explained that prior to 2016 the SLMPD had 14 sworn officers. The 2016 budget was
approved after some cuts were made to the budget to help fund 15 sworn officers. The SLMPD's 2017
Operating Budget reflects a 3.8 percent increase when compared to the adopted 2016 Budget. The
majority of that increase was for a wage increase that had been previously adopted by the labor
negotiating committee appointed by the Coordinating Committee. The remainder of the increase was to
restore some budget line items so that the fifteenth officer could be maintained.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he thought that during Chief Meehan's almost one year tenure with the
SLMPD things have gone well. It appears that there has been willingness for the SLMPD to provide more
of the services the Shorewood Council has been asking for. He asked Chief Meehan to keep it up.
Chief Meehan stated the SLMPD has received an outpouring of support from all four SLMPD member
cities. He expressed his appreciation for that.

Councilmember Siakel stated she appreciated being forwarded an email about the increased traffic
enforcement and results along Country Club Road.
Chief Meehan stated many times people do not see patrol officers when they are providing traffic
enforcement services. He noted he and SLMPD staff will make a concerted effort to keep the lines of
communication open.
Councilmember Siakel stated she has seen the speed display cart frequently along the portion of Birch
Bluff Road located in Tonka Bay. Chief Meehan noted the SLMPD deploys that on request. There have
been a lot of traffic concerns expressed about traffic along Birch Bluff Road and Pleasant Avenue in both
Shorewood and Tonka Bay, especially during the repaving of County Road 19. He stated if a
neighborhood wants the cart to put out he asked people to send SLMPD staff an email requesting that.
Sundberg moved, Woodruff seconded, approving the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department's
2017 Budget as presented. Motion passed 5/0.
Mayor Zerby thanked Chief Meehan for coming.
B. Excelsior Fire District 2017 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program
Excelsior Fire District (EFD) Chief Gerber explained the EFD Board recommended a 2017 EFD Budget
that reflects about a 0.6 percent increase in the total budget and a 0.46 percent increase in the municipal
contribution when compared to the adopted 2016 Budget. The increase is not the same for each of the five
EFD member cities. The recommended total budget includes the operating expenses and revenues, a
$170,000 transfer to the capital fund, and bonded debt payments for the fire facilities. The bonded debt
payment in 2017 will be less than in 2016 due to the refunding of the bonds which resulted in an
approximate $21,900 reduction. He noted that starting January 1, 2017, the EFD will become a sales tax
exempt entity.
The EFD has three full -time staff. The cost for the administrative specialist petition is shared equally with
the City of Chanhassen. That job sharing has been a great opportunity for the EFD and Chanhassen and
for the administrative specialist. The Department has a part-time fire inspector for part of the year who
deals primarily with special event inspections. The heart and soul of the organization is the paid -on -call
(POC) volunteer firefighters.
The Department can have up to 50 POC firefighters. It continues to be increasingly difficult to recruit new
firefighters. The Department continues to promote its Duty Crew program. For 2016 there are eight duty
crew hours per week and there are 10 hours included in the 2017 budget.
He noted the greatest discussion has been about the potential replacement of Aerial 11. He explained the
plan is to a make a final recommendation to the EFD Board during its September 2016 meeting and to
make a recommendation to the member City Councils in September or October. The hope is to secure
approval to order the replacement aerial no later than November.
Gerber explained the total budget for the new aerial truck is about $862,000. That includes the truck,
equipment and financing costs. He expressed confidence that the total cost for any new aerial truck would
be within that budgeted amount. The individual three categories may vary but the actual total cost will be
equal to or less than the total budget. He noted the District keeps its trucks at least 20 years.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
August 8, 2016
Page 8 of 10
Mayor Zerby asked how many of the member City Councils have approved the recommended budget.
Chief Gerber explained the Deephaven, Excelsior, and Greenwood Councils have approved the budget.
He will go before the Tonka Bay Council on August 10.
Councilmember Sundberg thanked Chief Gerber for his efforts. She also thanked the Fire Department for
its involvement with the 2016 Night to Unite. She stated the budget for the new aerial truck would cover
the purchase of the truck with the longest ladder which is 107 feet. She then stated she thought the truck
with the longer ladder would provide the opportunity to reduce property damage and possibly save lives.
She noted the needs of the EFD community have changed.
Chief Gerber stated he thought the aerial truck needs to be replaced. He thought 20 years is a long time in
the transportation industry.
Sundberg moved, Labadie seconded, approving the final recommended: Excelsior Fire District
2017 Operating Budget dated July 28, 2016; Excelsior Fire District 2017 — 2037 Capital
Improvement Program dated July 2016; and, Excelsior Fire District 2017 — 2037 Building Projects
Improvement Program dated July 2016 as presented. Motion passed 510.
Mayor Zerby thanked Chief Gerber for his efforts.
Chief Gerber thanked Council for its continued support of the EFD. He noted that in 2016 there were 31
Night to Unite events throughout the EFD member cities. At one point the Department had six fire trucks
out. He acknowledged that was possible because of the POC firefighters.
Discussion returned to Item 9.A on the agenda.
11. STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Administrator and Staff
1. Trail Schedule
This was discussed after Item 9.0 on the agenda.
Mayor Zerby noted the meeting packet contains a copy of the updated Trail Schedule. He also noted that
Engineer Hornby is committed to trying to get the Smithtown Road east sidewalk extension substantially
completed by the time school starts.
Engineer Hornby explained since the August 5 executive session there has already been a schedule
change by the contractor. The contractor wants to try and start the pouring of the sidewalk this week.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast indicates there could be a lot of rain the later part of the week. Staff is
going send the updated information out to the residents. Door hangers were put out on Friday, August 5
sometime between 5:00 — 6:00 P.M. informing people that construction work was going to resume on
August 8. The City website had been updated thanks to Clerk Panchyshyn's help and it will be updated
again. He noted the sidewalk work will prohibit access to residents' driveways for 3 — 5 days. He noted
the contractor had a crew working earlier in the day.
Hornby noted the Galpin Lake Road walkway schedule had been updated to reflect that the City had
applied for federal funding. That project is on hold.

Mayor Zerby stated he was pleased to see the contractor had people working on the project earlier in the
day. It appears that the project is back on track.
Other
Director Brown stated he has not heard of there being issues with the Tour de Tonka event on August 6
Mayor Zerby stated he had read the email from a resident asking about tree trimming requiring a bucket
truck. He asked if the City has to rent a bucket truck.
Director Brown stated he thought there are about 16 trees in the City that require the use of a bucket truck
to trim or remove them. He had been told S &S Tree Services would start tree trimming work this week.
Councilmember Woodruff stated about a year ago a cottonwood tree out on Enchanted Island near
Enchanted Lane was striped. He asked if that is on the list for tree maintenance. Director Brown
confirmed that. Woodruff noted there is another tree near that one that is leaning over the roadway.
Mayor Zerby stated he saw Public Works staff out patching roadways. Director Brown clarified that
patching starts in April or May each year and noted there are two roadways left to patch before seal
coating begins. After that is done the crew can work on other roadways in the City to patch holes. After
that they work on special asphalt projects. And then it snows.
Engineer Hornby explained the paving for this year's mill and overlay project has been completed. The
contractor will work on restoration. He noted that S &S Tree and Horticultural Specialists have written a
draft tree management plan. Next they will work with Director Nielsen on ordinances. After that they will
work on a private tree management plan. They hope to have a draft completed by the end of August.
Director DeJong stated he has been working with Joe Rigdon, with BerganKDV, on reconciling bank
statements and that should be done by the end of the month. He then stated it is difficult to find employee
wages for 1990. There are summary reports but not individual Public Works employee transaction
reports. Councilmember Siakel asked if there are any Public Works employees that worked for the City
26 years ago. DeJong stated Dan Randall and Joe Lugowski have been and noted that W2 information is
different than a person's hourly wage.
Director Nielsen stated the work on the new playfield in Badger Park is moving forward. The contractor
was ready to put sand down on August 5 until it rained. A glitch has been identified in the project. The
intent had been to rewire one light pole for the field. When assessing that it was determined the wiring for
all four poles does not comply with the electrical code. Wire had been used that was not supposed to be
laid without conduit. Staff is seeking quotes for rerunning that wire. The new wire will be put in conduit
and then run around the field rather than across the field.
B. Mayor and City Council
Councilmember Sundberg noted that on Saturday September 10 and Monday September 12 the Excelsior
Fire Department is going to be celebrating its 125th Anniversary.
Councilmember Labadie stated she and Councilmember Siakel represented the City at the watershed
seminar the previous week. She thought it was going to be about invasive species. It ended up being about
how almost everything ultimately ends up impacting water bodies. Representatives broke into small
groups to discuss water issues in their cities. She and Siakel stated from their vantage point it was the use

of water, the substandard roadways in the City and the trail system. It was interesting but it was not what
she expected.
Councilmember Siakel stated representatives from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD)
highlighted projects they had been involved with; projects she had heard about a number of times before,
Projects like the Cottage Park expansion in Hopkins, the Minnehaha Creek Methodist Hospital Re-
meander project, and the farm out west that was cleaned up to help improve the quality of Halsted Bay in
Lake Minnetonka. There was not much said about future projects. She heard them say they would like to
partner with cities on projects. She suggested inviting representatives to a meeting to review current and
future City projects and to find out if there is an opportunity to partner on them.
Councilmember Labadie stated MCWD representatives encouraged residents to apply for grants for
private projects such as landscaping along the lakefront or natural rain gardens or native vegetation.
Mayor Zerby noted that he has mentioned a drainage issue project that could be a project to partner on.
Zerby stated he had a chance encounter with a member of the Three Rivers Park District organization and
learned that the rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) for the at grade crossing of the Lake
Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail at County Road 19 are on back order.
Councilmember Woodruff stated he has had a couple of residents ask him about the search for a new city
administrator. He noted Council will be doing interviews before its next meeting. He thanked staff and
Councilmember Siakel for organizing the appreciation event which was a boat ride on Lake Minnetonka.
He thought people had a good time. Mayor Zerby noted it was a wonderful day for a boat ride.
Councilmember Siakel clarified that Clerk Panchyshyn and Communications Coordinator Moore did
most of the work.
Mayor Zerby encouraged residents to vote in the primary.
