Box 473 Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Jim: In response to your memorandum dated August 25, we offer the following suggestions or desires to be considered and discussed during your upcoming negotiations with Triax Cablevision's regarding their contract: 1. Spectrum - We feel that connectivity should be provided between all governmental buildings or locations: in Shorewood - City Hall, Community Center, Badger and Freeman Parks concession stands, South Lake Police Department, Public Works garage, all lift stations and water towers; in the Lake Minnetonka area - all government buildings such as schools and libraries. This could be done via an ethernet connection. 2. Adequate ban width should be provided for phone systems to all governmental buildings or locations. 3. Connection between all City Halls in the south Lake Minnetonka area, and even within the Viacom service area, should be established. 4. A dedicated governmental channel for the south Lake Minnetonka area providing for two way video capabilities at no less than 6 megahertz both ways. This should provide for live broadcast. This could provide for more consistent broadcast times for Council meetings, and perhaps the addition of Planning Commission meeting broadcasts. 5. Free extended basic cable access for all public buildings. 6. A high grade video camera for better cable broadcast at both the Shorewood Council Chambers and the Southshore Senior Community Center. 7. When laying out the districts for the coax cable, keep in mind city boundaries so designated channels can be utilized for broadcasting city specific information. 8. Provide for high speed internet connectivity via a cybermodem for all governmental buildings and locations. 9. Interconnectivity to County and State agencies for transfer of data. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore . Jim Daniels, LMCC Administrator September 11, 1997 Page 20f2 Last of all, the City would like to stress the importance of an intergovernmental channel. We feel that the LMCC should be working with key governmental agencies (i.e. League of MN Cities, Hennepin County, State of Minnesota) to prepare for future connectivity among all governmental agencies within the State of Minnesota to provide for the sharing of resources in an efficient and expedient manner. We fully support any efforts the LMCC will take in realizing this State-wide goal. Thank you for the opportunity to express our views on future expectations for us and other governmental agencies within the coming years. Please keep these items in mind during your negotiations with Triax Cablevision. We look forward to hearing of your progress during this negotiation period. Sincerely, CITY OF SHOREWOOD . James C.

INTRODUCTION This Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a coordinated schedule of municipal capital projects, improvements, and purchases for the years 1998 through 2002. Furthermore, it is a Capital hnprovement Finance Plan. It identifies sources of revenue to pay for the planned capital project improvements and purchases. There are two main parts which are integrated into this program document: The Capital hnprovement Plan and the Finance Plan. The Capital Improvement Plan consists of several elements. The capital improvement narrative explains each capital expenditure by function. The capital improvement project schedule lists expenditures by year over the five year period. The Funding Source Summary traces all expenditures and revenues in and out of each of the various funds, and tracks fund balances during each capital improvement fiscal year. The section entitled "Projects Not Assigned a Year" is a list of projects which have been identified but not developed enough or attained a high enough priority to be scheduled at this time. Thefinal schedule in this section is a summary of expenditures by funding source. . The Finance Plan section is a summary of general fund appropriations for capital projects and a summary of activity in the capital reserve fund over the five year period of the CIP. Also included in this section is a sample Capital hnprovement Budget Resolution which would have to be passed separately for the fIrst year of the program, 1998. It budgets capital purchases and projects for the year. The Capital hnprovement Program is an important element of the comprehensive planning process. See Step 4: "plans, projects, programs" of the Comprehensive Planning Process Chart on Page 2. It is the bridge between policy planning and. implementation. It is the direction the City will take over the next five years and beyond in undertaking and financing capital improvements consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. With this Capital hnprovement Program, the City Council is integrating the City's physical needs with financial resources. . It is important to recognize that needs, resources, and projections change over the years. Therefore, it needs to be a fluid program, with review and update at least annually. It is reviewed and updated based upon priorities established by the City Council each year. It is a very important financial planning document as it projects the City's capital improvement needs and identifies financial resources to meet those needs. It clearly identifies areas where policies are lacking and where problems may arise in the future. Each project which is identified in this program must be approved by the City Council under normal processes. A typical project public improvement process is shown as a separate Appendix. II. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN This section of the Capital hnprovement Program explains proposed capital projects and expenditures by function: water, streets, drainage, sanitary sewer, public facilities, equipment, and parks. It consists of a project narrative, a project schedule, and a funding source summary which traces the affect of the scheduled projects on the various funds in the City.

WATER In 1995, the City adopted an ordinance which specifies watermain assessment. and trunk ~ ~. That ordinance was amended again in 1997, and will be significantly altered to refIect.t.he ~.~ directives of the City Council. The City is currently considering a policy to respond to petitioners for water byundertakiugafe$sibility ;> report which will take into consideration a "break even" analysis. Under this practice. a portionoftbe new user's revenues over a fifteen year peri-od may be credited towards the amount of t.he assessment. One hundred percent of all of the project costs will be assessed, with the minimum assessment being $5,000. Petitions for the extension of watermain will require acknowledgment on the pe.tition by l00~t of all of the affected parcel owners. Under rare circumstances, a petition which does not have l00~ of all affected property owners petitioning for the project can be approved by the City Council. pro~"is a four-fifths vote to proceed with the petition. Over the last two years, watermain has been installed on Smithtown Road from the. SoutherlyCity~ to Country Club Road. This completed the interconnection of the Boulder Bridge WeU.~BadJet.l\lell. the Minnewashta Water Tower, and the City of Victoria's water system. Potential Watermain Projects: The following questions should be discussed for the 1997-1998 time period: . Should watermain be installed along Strawberry Lane if a street reconstruction <<paVement reclamation project is to proceed? . Should the Amesbury well system be interconnected to the southeastarea Watefsystern and tower? . . If the Blegin development is pursued south of Vine Street on Manor R~ shoUld a shott piece of watermain be extended along Manor Road to serve this subdivision? . . STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Stormwater management can be broken down into two categories. The first category are regional drainage issues which serve larger tributary areas (10 acres or more). The second area is considered miscellaneous drainage maintenance projects which can serve a larger area, but routinely are maintenance issues that have smaller tributary areas. Re2ional Issues Over the last five years capital improvement programs have listed two larger projects which serve larger tributary areas. These are known as the Glen Road Drainage Project, and the Grant Lorenz drainage project. As originally planned, the first year of these projects. were to prepare feasibility studies, obtain easements or direct. possession of the parcels necessary, and to complete the design of the project. The actual construction of the project would occur the following year. Glen Road. This project consists of developing ponds in the proximity of the intersection of Glen Road and Manitou Road. A draft feasibility report has been prepared as an update of the feasibility to reflect new changes in regional pond requirements, and to account for additional funding sources that may be available. Funding mechanisms for the Glen Road Drainage project were established in the updated feasibility study in 1990. A special taxing district was set up for the tributary area of the ponds which proposed to assess 70 percent of the project to. homeowners who are tributary to the pond. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) has regulations which make certain revenues available for projects which serve regional areas. Representatives from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District are very.eager for the Glen Road Drainage.Project to be constructed. . However, recent changes at the District may change the funding possibilities by the District for such projects. Any amount of financial participation by the. District may. offset a majority or entirety of the funds that would have been collected by the special taxing district. Grant-Lorenz. This project entails improvement to the drainage way north of Smith town Road along Grant-Lorenz. Included is ditch cleaning, culvert replacement, and realignment in some areas. . . Stormwater Management Plan New Legislative mandates. require that municipalities have approximately one year to update their stormwater management plans in accordance with the .watershed district regulations. A majority of the City of Shorewood lies within the. jurisdiction. of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, with the remaining portion being part of the Riley Purgatory Creek Watershed District. It is estimated that a complete Stormwater management plan will cost the City of Shorewood approximately $90,000, assuming the City. .particpates. in the Hennepin County aerial flight scheduled in the Spring of 1998. As part of the stormwater management plan, key ponding areas and drainage improvements will be identified and re-prioritized. as major projects. The Glen Road Project and the Grant Lorenz project are scheduled between the period of 1999 and the year 2001. However, these may change in priority dependent upon the storm water study.

Fund Balance, December 31 $190,650 S280,799 $197,619 S175,909 $21.3,107 The Storm Drainage Fund is established to finance maintenance of the City's storm sewer . system, and to fund future drainage projects. Revenues are derived from a utility charge to all properties within the City. The City anticipates that 50% of annual revenues will be used to maintain the system, and 50% will be available for drainage projects. Annual contributions from the General Fund and tax levies on. special drainage districts will complete the funding requirements for drainage projects. The amounts shown for drainage projects are as listed on the Storm Drainage Schedule. The following page is a flowchart which explains funding for the Shorewood Stormwater Management Program. . . .

MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE PROJECTS The major goal of the first few years of this capital program will be the implementation of projects that are funded with the Storm Water Utility Fund. These projects are, by definition, small in scope. No single project should be larger than $15,000, and it is anticipated that they will average about $3,000. The City sets aside $20,000 per year to fund miscellaneous projects to correct drainage problems. Miscellaneous drainage projects are prioritized according to the outline or ranking system listed below. Projects will be initiated and completed in rank of priority, and then according to the date of the complaint. CRITERIA FOR MINOR DRAINAGE PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED BY STORMW A TER UTILITY GENERAL - Projects to be funded under this utility will include. only those projects that are estimated to cost less than $15,000. Projects will be completed in order of priority, as defined below..and as categorized and dated .by the Public Works Director. Where two (2) or more projects have the same priority, the older of the projects will be completed first, funding permitted. Total project spending per year will not exceed $30,OOOorthe fund balance, whichever is smaller. 1) PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH Primary attention will be paid to those projects that impact the public health or safety. These projects would include ice problems on the road, erosion that is causing a hazardous structural problem (i.e. undermining a road), or storm water that is causing a significant health problem (such as flooding the sanitary system}. 2) SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL IMPACT TO THE CITY This category will include those projects that, while not endangering the public health, will still have a negative impact on the residents as a whole. Projects in this category include minor infrastructure replacement that cannot be funded cost effectively by other means. Other potential . projects include. erosion causing property damage and minor structure replacement. . . 3) PUBLIC NUISANCE This category includes those projects that cannot be considered a substantial hazard, are not likely to cause a financial loss to the City, but are a public nuisance. These projects include standing water in the roadway,. unwanted flooding in public parks, and minor erosion projects. 4) PRIVATE NUISANCE Finally, those projects that are a nuisance to a single residence or small group of residences that the City Council deems that the City has .someresponsibilitY to belp correct. These projects include those instances where a large drainage area is causing a problem to a small area, and the homeowner(s) is (are) willing to allow a right-of-entry to City crews without cost. . . .

Grove drainage problem, 5375 Howard's Point Road - (6/96) . . SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM The operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system is a. City responsibility necessary to protect the public health. The existing system covers nearly all property within the City limits and includes varying sizes and types of gravity sewer along with 18 lift stations to transport sewage where gravity flow is not possible. The system can be divided into roughly two categories, the older, original portions constructed by the City. in the early 1970's and the newer portions constructed as a part of relatively recent development. As the older portions of the system are over 20 years old, recent expenditures have focused on the maintenance and cleaning of the older gravity lines combined with the rehabilitation of lift stations (which is now completed). Maintenance has consisted of flushing, televising, and sealing to prevent the inflow and infiltration (1&1) of clear (ground and rain) water into the system. In 1994 a Comprehensive City-wide clear water inflow and infiltration inspection program was completed. Rehabilitation of the lift. stations consisting primarily of conversion to modem systems and the replacement of worn parts was completed in 1994. Inflow and Infiltration (1&1) Control: 1&1 reduction is desirable from both an economic and environmental standpoint. Reducing the amount of clear water in the sanitary system should reduce the charges levied by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) and reduce the operating time of the lift stations. Data from the MCES and lift station run times will be analyzed yearly to determine what, if any, benefit is being realized by the City. The economic worth of the environmental issues involved is necessarily a matter of council policy. In 1995 the MCES established a TaskForce to review its cost allocation methods. At the present time, the MCES uses a single rate system which allocates its current operating expenses to the user communities on the basis of the wastewater flow each community contributes. Some communities, particularly the core cities, have argued that it is more costly to serve outlying communities and, therefore, those communities should be charged a higher rate. To assist in investigating the current MCES rate structure, the Task Force established a technical advisory committee, to which the Shorewood City Administrator was appointed. At this time, there appears to be little support for changing the single rate cost allocation method now used by the MCES. However, there does appear to be strong support for raising the portion of the debt service paid by SAC charges thereby requiring an increase in the SAC rate. Increases in the SAC rate are likely. Since the SAC rate charged by the MCES is uniform, and Shorewood has relatively few new connections each year, but is a "wet" community, a SAC increase could be of some benefit to Shorewood because it would tend to reduce the growth of sewer rates. An important recommendation that the Technical Advisory Committee made to the Task Force deals with inflow and infiltration (1&1) reduction. A study recently conducted indicates that the MCES could save $2 million per year if all 1&1 in the sewer system were reduced to normal levels. The suggestion is for the MCES to allocate a total of $1 million per year in the form $50,000 maximum loans to user communities for 1&1 reduction programs. The communities would pay the loans back at the rate of $10,000 per year. However, if progress can be shown toward reducing 1&1, the loans would be forgiven. The recommendation was adopted and Shorewood has received two grants totaling $20,000. The study being undertaken will identify an approach to investigating 1&1 in Shorewood's collection system, including methods to quantify excessive 1&1 and an ongoing program to reduce excessive 1&1 where cost- effective. Sanitary Sewer System Extensions: The existing trunk sewer system is adequate to serve the anticipated development over the next five years. Any local extensions are anticipated to be paid for either through development or assessment at the time of petition.

TRAILS PARKS The Park Commission recommends the five-year Capital Improvement Program toilie City Council for both parks and trails each year. The Park Fund balance is estimated to be $124,318 at the end of 1997 with funds set aside to compete the following projects: Manor Park lights at west side of pond Freeman Park picnic shelter and fountains Project Narrative: $8,500 35,000 Badger .Park: 1998 - $10,000 is set aside to extend the roof and concrete floor on the proposed new Badger well building to serve as.a picnic shelter. An additional $10,000 is set aside for recreational amenities to the west of the Badger well building to comp1imentthe Senior Community Center. Improvements could include shuffle board, horseshoe pits, etc. 1999 - $4,500 is budgeted for overlaying the tennis courts. Cathcart Park: 1998 - $4,000 is budgeted for overlaying the tennis. courts. 2000 - $28,000 is budgeted to build a wanning house I picnic shelter south of the parking lot near the trail. It will be similar to the Manor Park building. The City of Chanhassen needs to work with us closely because the building will be in their city. Silverwood Park: 2002 - $32,000 has been set aside for a picnic shelter I warming house. Southeast Shorewood area neighborhoods need to work with. the Park Commission in determining citizen interest in such a building well in advance of any expenditure of funds. Freeman Park: 1998 - $50,000 has been set aside as a loan to the Park.Foundation or sports organizations to build a concession building I picnic. shelter in the softballl.soccer area. $50,000 has been set aside to build two tennis courts. The Park Commission has yet to make a final determination on the citizen interest in or location of the courts. $10,000 is budgeted to realign and overlay the road through the park once the deposition of the land to the east of the Little League fields is determined. Manor Park: No further improvements are planned. . . Park Project Schedule: The Park Capital Improvement Plan (PCIP) for 1998-2002 is summarized on these charts. The PCIP lists projects planned for each year. Budget numbers are adjusted with an inflation factor and should be considered the budget for the entire project including "soft costs" such as planning, engineering, project management, etc. The Funding Source Summary - Park Capital Fund illustrates where funds will come from to pay for the improvements scheduled on the PCIP. Note that the "projects/expenditure" line corresponds with the "total expenses" line on the PCIP. \ * Approximately $3,000 is planned to be spent through 1998 on building planning. . . SHOREWOOD PARK FOUNDATION: For the following reasons, the City of Shorewood detennined that a separate, non-profit corporation should be established for the general improvement of Shorewood's parks: . There is increasing pressure to reduce. the increase of property tax dollars for park improvements. . A park improvement referendum was defeated in the Spring of 1993 which means borrowing funds is not an option. Federal and state funding for recreation continues to decrease. There is increasing pressure formore and better facilities for organized sports at Freeman Park. . . . Improvements likely funded from the "foundation" would clearly benefit those who participate in organized sports. This would add to the general quality of life for the entire Shorewood Community and open up the potential for more residents and civic organizations to participate in recreational activities. The following are the objectives of the Shorewood Park Foundation: . Add to the general quality of life for the entire Shorewood Community; Allow for more residents and civic organizations to participate in recreational activities; . Provide an opportunity to encourage donations to Shorewood's parks; Serve as a vehicle for cooperation and coordination of human resources to support, operate and approve Shorewood's park facilities; Reduce the use of property. tax dollars for park related expenditures; Raise and distribute funds for a portion of the cost of maintaining Shorewood's parks, park capital improvement projects as listed in the City's Five Year Parks Capital Improvement Program, and park improvement projects beyond the scope of the five year program; · Work with the City to apply for and provide matching and in-kind contributions for various recreational grants; and . . . . · Provide for an organized means to review, prioritize, recommend and undertake park improvement projects. . . TRAILS In 1992 a Trail Plan was adopted by the City Council. That plan is now being reviewed and revised under the direction of the Park Commission. The Commission will involve citizens early and often in the review process. Plans derived "from the bottom up" are much more likely to be implemented with the concurrence of the greatest number of immediately affected residents. The Trail Fund balance is estimated to be $ 125.460 on December 31.1997. It should increase to $157.983 during 1998. No street improvement projects are planned which would call for a trail. However, trails have been discussed in the past in several areas: . Extend the trail on Vine Hill Road north to Covington Road then west to Silverwood Park. An inquiry had also been received about extending the trail on Vine Hill e~ further north than Covington. . Petitions both for and against a trail along Smithtown Road were received in 1996. . There has been an inquiry about a trail along Enchanted Drive and possibly the Shady Island perimeter. . Inquiries have been received about a way to safely get from the Lake Virginia area to the LRT (regional trail). . An inquiry was received on working with Excelsior ona trail along Mill Street. . The transportation supervisor for the Minnetonka School District has identified a number of streets along which trails or road-side walkways are recommended. There is clearly interest in trails but there are always problems in "retrofitting" trails in already developed areas. This emphasizes the importance of working with area residents from the initial stages in planning any trails. At this time the only expenditure anticipated through.. 1998 is $6.000 for planning. Project plans could result from this process which is expected to be completed in the spring of 1998. ~~i~~! .. ".~''";~:' . : '.

At this time there is not enough information or need to assign a year to these potential projects: . At some point in time the City may be interested in providing a satellite fIre station in the western portion of the City. Upgrade the storm water system from Church Road to Grant Lorenz, It may be possible to upgrade this system when Strawberry Lane is reconstructed. This should be investigated during the feasibility study of that project. There is a serious erosion problem along a 200 foot section of the lakeside of Timber Lane. A cost effective plan needs to be agreed upon so cost estimates can be acquired and the project undertaken. · The Public Works Director has identified a need to provide a portable generator for a backup source of power to run wells and lift stations during a power outage, The estimated cost is $130,000. Other options should be examined. . . . . The basement level of City Hall, particularly the east side should eventually be "finished" and made useable. Within five years, the property fIle area in the upper level will be filled to capacity. Several offices and a meeting room could be built downstairs to make more room upstairs for fIles and a copying I work room. . The Funding Source Summary' chart below projects the property tax 'levy ./5>t .capital improvements through 2002 and identifies the levy by type of improvement. "The "Funding Source Summaries" in the various sections of this program are a major part of this F:iJ1ance' Plan. Each functional area. summarized here is explained in 'detail in the funding source summary .chart in each functional area. Maintaining a reasonable Capital Reserve fund balance is an esseIitial etement.. in tht financial stability of the City. It can be an important factor in maintaining and. improvmg. our good bond rating. Such a reserve can serve as a sound financial resource. Jteanserve as a depreciation fund for City Assets. In addition,. it can allow for short temi or ..inte.rim .~ internal borrowing for projects' or equipment. This can reduce the cost of botiowing .by' \j allowing for combined bond sales at the most advantageous time. - The last portion of the Capital Finance Plan is a proposed 1998 Capital In)provenimt. Budget. It adopts, as a budget, the projects identified in this document forthc'.year J998 and authorizes purch~s and p~liminary p~oject expenses up to an~ including a ~ study for those projects pending Council approval of appropriate. a~nts;This budget needs to be adopted by the City Council in an action separate,from acceptance of this plan. III. CAPITAL FINANCE PLAN ;it.~J' - ~ The City recognizes the importance of maifitaining a reasonable funding revel for public improvements, equipment, and depreciation of current City assets. Therefore.. this CIP projects an increase of between 3.25% and 5.5% annually in general revenuesa1located for capital improvements. i ! ~ __.___~_~. ~___,- ....... ..' .!,. c. . ,-,f-,,' , ',"',',C, . .t .;.1 '~i.l ';:1 ~;d ,,.':~'i [.fl ::::..1 i1~ . ;ions Citize- '~~"-'~~!':""::"'''''';'''''''''.''''''-'''-':~;,N.~'''''' ......~.,..~:"":<<<:---.. --'--='~'~li~~ i~ ,':;:~.'~ l">,....
