Agenda Item #8: Mr. Richard Hoyt has requested an after-the-fact setback variance for a

PARKS - Report by Representative
.
Park Commissioner Dan Puzak reported on the Park Commission meeting held Tuesday, March
26th. The Commission recommended unanimously that the Council reconsider the issue of
installation of the trail along Smithtown Road. They felt the trail would be used by many for a
multitude of uses.
The Commission also recommends that the Council authorize matching donations of up to $500 for
trees in Manor Park.
The snowmobile survey has been mailed and approximately 475 have been returned to date which
is an excellent response.
Puzak reported that the Hennepin County Park Board rescinded their action to prohibit walking,
etc., on the regional trail in the winter. The Park Commission and staff will continue to work with
the Hennepin County Park Board to clear up the misunderstanding regarding the multi-use of the
trail.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
APRIL 8, 1996 - PAGE 3
Hurm reported the Park Board intends to host a joint meeting with the cities involved to discuss a
new plan whereby cities would be allowed to determine winter use of the trail provided they take
full responsibility, including holding the County Park Board harmless. Hurm suggested this
meeting be conducted in the spring, and that annual review not be necessary.
Puzak reported the Minnetonka Youth Hockey Association has requested to temporarily table their
request to build a refrigerated ice sheet in Freeman Park until they work out details on financing.
Puzak explained improvements scheduled for Badger Park this year include moving the hockey
rink 30 feet, installation of playground equipment, picnic facilities, a horseshoe pit and
landscaping.
Mayor Bean questioned the matching funds for trees. Hurm explained funds have been budgeted
to meet this Park objective. He noted that Bob Boyer, a resident, is coordinating donations and the
celebration.
Mayor Bean endorsed the idea provided an upper limit of $500 in matching funds be established.
.
INTRODUCTIONS
Mayor Bean noted City Attorney Tim Keane was being represented by Shama Wahlgren, Larkin,
Hoffman, Daly & Lindgren, Ltd. He also introduced Cheryl Wallat, the new recording secretary.
6. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION
REGARDING FINANCING OF THE SENIOR COMMUNITY CENTER
.
Hurm explained the resolution being considered allows the execution of the Non-Appropriation
Lease Purchase Agreement with Norwest Investment Services. Such agreement is for a term of
either 10 years or 12 years at an interest rate not to exceed 6.2 percent or 6.32 percent per arinum
respectively. The lease payments are subject to annual appropriation by the City and are not
considered a debt service liability of the City. Interest would be tax exempt. Hurm informed the
Council the difference is that at 10 years, the payment would be $41,000 and at 12 years, it would
be $37,164 per year. Budgeted for this year was $35,000. The 12-year lease would result in
almost $26,000 more in interest. Legal counsel will review all of the necessary documents.
Mayor Bean commented that the 12-year term would keep the payments near the budget. He also
felt the Council would need to move quickly due to rising interest rates so the City may lock-in
with Norwest.
Councilmember Stover agreed it would be nice to have the annual budget where they presumed it
would be.
Mayor Bean commented that the letter from Norwest dated March 28th indicates this interest rate is
a proposal, and is not locked in until final approval is given.
Councilmember Benson asked if the City of Excelsior was going with the 12-year term. Hurm
related that was his understanding.
Stover moved, McCarty seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96-30. "A
Resolution Approving Financing for the Senior Community Center and
Authorizing the Execution of Lease Documents." Motion passed 5/0.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
APRIL 8, 1996 - PAGE 4
7. CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE AND
INSTALLATION OF A VOICE MAIL SYSTEM FOR CITY HALL IN THE
AMOUNT OF $6,530.
Administrator Hurm explained this was an item that was considered briefly in the budget
considerations for 1996, and it is considered a contingency item. The installation of a voice mail
system would upgrade the present telephone system. Staff will continue to answer all calls during
office hours. He also stated this new system will also be helpful to residents in obtaining
information.
Mayor Bean asked if the caller would be offered the option of leaving a message on voice mail. He
asked if messages could be retrieved off-site.
Administrator Hurm stated that callers would be given the option of leaving a voice mail message,
and staff will have the option of off-site retrieval.
Mayor Bean asked if any staff members were currently using pagers, and if so, could the system
be set to trigger a message on the pager when a voice mail message is left. Hurm indicated he
would research that option. .
Councilmember Stover commented she appreciates the emphasis on staff being available to answer
telephone calls during regular business hours rather than voice mail.
Councilmember McCarty remarked that a voice mail system will help communication with the
residents in that they will have access to an information line to find things out and they can also
leave messages and suggestions. She stated it would be one more thing that helps the City and
Council be accessible.
Mayor Bean asked if the Councilmembers should be added to the mail boxes. Councilmember
Stover remarked she would rather have residents call her at home so they would receive a much
quicker response. Administrator Hurm commented that for the voice mail system to be effective,
staff must train themselves to check regularly. Councilmember Stover stated she would have no
objection to the information line giving out home phone numbers for Councilmembers.
Administrator Hurm mentioned there would be a 30-day trial period of the system. Additional
features could be added after that trial period.
.
Benson moved, McCarty seconded to Authorize the Purchase and Installation of a
V oiceMail System from ESI Communications for City Hall in the Amount 0 f
$6,530. Motion passed 5/0.
7A. REQUEST TO LEVY WATER CONNECTION FEE, 27000 BEVERLY
DRIVE, JILL AND ANTHONY PINK
Administrator Hurm explained Jill and Anthony Pink have connected to municipal water. The
Pinks are asking the City to consider levying the $5,000 connection fee. He further explained
these types of fees have been assessed in the past. The Pinks have completed a petition for local
improvement and the City could add that on to whatever special assessments there would be this
fall and the resident could pay it over 15 years at the appropriate rate. If the Council decided they
were not willing to approve that assessment of fees, the residents are aware they may need to
make other arrangements.
.

charges for this resident or any resident.
Stover moved, Benson seconded to direct staff to prepare a Resolution regarding

Pink. Motion passed 5/0. .

7. CONSIDERATION OF EXPANDING THE SURVEY TO INCLUDE
WORK PLAN IMPLEMENTATION ITEMS

should be asked to revalidate the trail plan. Perhaps a survey should be undertaken to
detennine whether the assumptions made in 1981 and 1992 are still valid and that building
the trails as proposed is still the right thing to do. This could be done by a surveyor
neighborhood meetings. The City Council needs better facts and figures. There was not a

TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1996
COUNCIL CHAMBERS
5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD
7:00 PM
MINUTES
WORK SESSION
1. CONVENE
Mayor Bean opened the meeting at 7:02 p.m.
Present: Mayor Bean; Councilmembers Benson, McCarty and Shaw;
Planning Commissioners Borkon, Pisula, Kolstad, Rosenberger, and Turgeon;
City Administrator Hurm, Planning Director Nielsen and City Engineer Brown.
Later Arrivals: Councilmember Stover (7:07); Planning Commissioner Lizee (8:20).
Absent: Planning Commissioner Foust.
Mayor Bean stated that the purpose of this work session is to review planning priorities for 1996
with specific emphasis on senior affordable housing. He then turned the meeting over to Nielsen.
2. DISCUSSION
AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING
Nielsen began the topic with a review of past attempts to encourage development of affordable
senior housing, which led the City Council to direct the Planning Commission to consider issues
pertaining to density and incentives. He then introduced a concept that has been presented by an
interested developer (John Blumentritt) to use the Land De Con property and possibly the adjacent
Wagner property to create a senior housing community. This would require changes in density
and height restrictions and a closer look at cost incentives for keeping the price of the units below a
certain level.
Nielsen's question to the Council at this time is if there is willingness to at least consider making
adjustments. This concept would require an adjustment in fees to restrict soft costs to less than
$2500 per unit in order to keep rental/purchase costs within the guidelines set by Met Council
through the Livable Communities Act (Rental - $500 to $525 and Purchase - $100,000 to
$125,000).
Council posed questions about the actual cost to the City for streets, water, sewer, etc. and how to
avoid pitfalls experienced with the Seasons development. It was a consensus that affordable
senior housing is a priority and would be a favorable concept to the community and yet can become
controversial when proposed for a specific neighborhood. In any case, objection will likely
surface on the density issue and on the presence of a 3+ - story structure. There may be public
concern when using the term "affordable housing". This may be resolved by being more specific
tt;: ~ C
II
about it's meaning, such as noting the specific rents or sale prices targeted (Le. at or below
$125,000).
Council indicated overall support of the idea and agreed that the need exists. Some key questions
are: If this is a priority, what is the best time and way to proceed? Is it financially feasible? How
can we ensure that the expected amenities and housing costs will become a reality? The Council
consensus was that setting aside land for affordable senior housing should be moved from high to
low priority.
Suggestions included involving local churches and possibly other communities in support of our
efforts to provide senior housing at varying value and to provide a better mix of housing options to
the community. It was agreed that it would be okay to approach other communities to work with
us to address this South Lake area need, but we need to be prepared to handle it on our own.
Nielsen asked specifically if there is an unresolvable problem, such as the three story building, that
would prevent this from becoming a reality, before suggesting to a developer that they should
pursue the idea. Council expressed willingness to consider higher density if the requirements for
providing amenities and lower pricing are met.
.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS AND IMPLEMENTATION
Nielsen reviewed priority ratings of remaining task/projects in each of the following areas: Natural
Resources, Land Use, Transportation, Community Facilities/Services. This was generally in
consensus with the Organizational Goal and priority statements as determined by Council. The
item of identifying problem areas of the sanitary sewer system for televising, sealing and repair is
listed as medium priority and should be given higher priority.
Mayor Bean requested that greater priority be put on addressing the issue of the 18 month water
hook -up requirement. He directed staff to add this to an upcoming agenda.
3. ADJOURN

Smithtown Watermain extension from Boulder Bridge Circle
to the south City' corporate boundary
On December 11, 1995, the City Council ordered preparation of a feasibility study for the extension
of a 12 inch watermain from Boulder Bridge Circle to the south City corporate boundary. The
completion of the feasibility report was delayed such that final negotiations of the Victoria water
agreement could be reflected as part of the infrastructure needed in the cost calculations. The fmal
report is attached for your review.
.
Scope and Cost
The feasibility report considers the installation of a 12 inch diameter watermain along Smithtown
Road from Boulder Bridge Circle to the south City limits, a metering station at the city limits, and two
Kinch water stubs to provide service to adjacent properties which share driveways along the west side
of Smithtown Road. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $ 149,000.
This watermain connection to the south limits will also provide a link to the City of Victoria to provide
a backup supply of water. Excess water production available to the City of Victoria is 850 gallons
per minute (gpm). The amount available will decrease each year to 350 gallons per minute in January
of 2005 to account for increase in demand by the City of Shorewood.
Riaht of Way
The project, as proposed can be constructed within the existing right of way without additional
acquisition or easements.
Miscellaneous Items
Several properties along the west side of Smithtown are interested in water. Provisions have been
made to extend water service across Smithtown Road to service these properties. Complications
occur since most of these properties share a common driveway which is not a public right of way.

Staff will meet with these homeowners as part of the design process to evaluate the best alternative to
service these properties, provide a curb stop for each property to protect the City's interest, and to
gain easements if a common waterline is to be extended along the existing driveway. These design
items will be presented back to the City Council as part of the approval of the plans specifications and
estimate approval.
Recommendation
This project is feasible both from a technical and financial viewpoint. The total cost of the project
is estimated at $149,000 with potential revenues estimated at $ 195,000 generated ultimately through .
assessments and trunk charges.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council accept the feasibility study as prepared by OSM
Associates and order the preparation of plans specifications and estimate.

Since the City of Victoria has agreed to the contract in principle, staff is recommending approval of
the agreement by the Shorewood City Council with any amendments being brought back the City

a period of time to ensure it is not a fluctuation due to weather conditions. With respect to drainage,
Nielsen noted the City of Shorewood's policy is that any new development has to accommodate their
own drainage and the run-off after development cannot exceed the run-off before development. The
comprehensive plan also addresses the quality of water and requires the installation of NURP ponds to
ensure the water leaving the site is as clean as possible. Nielsen noted by utilizing the P.U.D. in this
project, each site would be custom designed to fit the specific site and mass grading will not be required.
There may be some minimal grading required associated with creating the NURP ponds. The storm
water and sewer plans will need to be provided as part of the development stage plan. Nielsen stated
there is no minimum parcel size required for this P.D.D. Nielsen explained the wetland setbacks may be
increased to keep building further from the pond. This will leave more natural ground between the
structure and the pond and create less disturbance to the slopes and less clearing of vegetation. Nielsen
noted Footprint Lake is a pond and not a lake and he was unclear as to the limits which could be placed
on outboard motor size. He indicated he would discuss this point with the City Attorney. Nielsen stated
in the P. U.D. process the public hearings are conducted at the Planning Commission level. He noted
comments could be submitted in written form to the City Council but would need to be received by
December 7, 1995 to be included in the packet for the next meeting.
Commissioner Kolstad questioned if lot 4 had sufficient buildable area to support a house and who
would be responsible for maintaining the cul-de-sac. Nielsen stated there was sufficient area while
conforming with the R-IA setback requirements and the cul-de-sac was a City street. Commissioner
Kolstad expressed concern with the small size of lot 4.
Commissioner Lizee questioned the sight lines from the cul-de-sac and if there would be pond access for
all lots. She stated she would prefer lot 4 have no direct access onto Manor Street but have access from
the cul-de-sac. Nielsen reported the engineer was satisfied with the sight lines from the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Norby stated the issue of access to the pond had not yet been resolved.
Commissioner Turgeon asked if the house on lot 2 would maintain a distance of 50 feet from the small
inland wetland area. Nielsen confirmed it did.
.
Chair Rosenberger expressed his concern with the lot sizes.
Turgeon moved, Kolstad seconded to recommend to the Council that it approve the
Concept Stage Plan for Bill Blegen, 20295 Manor Road subject to staff
recommendations and site plan consideration of access to Manor Road for Lot 4.
Motion passed 4/0.
The Council will consider the recommendation at its December 11, 1995 meeting.

5710 Ridge Road
Chair Rosenberger announced the case and outlined the procedure for a public hearing.
Nielsen explained Mr. Hoyt owns the property located at 5710 Ridge Road, on Christmas Lake. Nielsen
noted the Building Official was directed to inspect the property based on neighbor complaints in regard to
a deck structure and a screened porch. It was determined these structures were constructed without a
building permit and are in violation of the zoning regulations of the R-IA1S, Single-Family Residential
Shoreland Management Guidelines. The property contains 103,938 square feet of area and is
.,
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

characterized by steep topography and heavy vegetation. The existing lot coverage is 18%. A 24 foot by
24 foot deck has been constructed six feet from the ordinary high water mark of Christmas Lake with a
one-story screen porch I storage building covering as much as 75% of the deck. There is an existing stair
system, a shed and a mechanical lift station also located on the lot. Nielsen noted Mr. Hoyt has
submitted a letter and photographs which he feels support his request to allow a variance for the deck
structure.
Nielsen explained Shorewood's Zoning Code requires structures be located 75 feet back from the
ordinary high water level of Christmas Lake in addition to bluftline setbacks with the exception of docks
and walkways necessary to access the shoreline. Mr. Hoyt cites topography as a special condition which
precludes "reasonable access to and use of Christmas Lake". Staff feels the lot is steep but it has two
means of access to allow use of the dock and no case has been made as to why residents with steep lots
need to have decks and porches nearer the water than those with less steep lots. The house also has a
large deck system on the top of the hill. The applicant cites numerous properties to the south of his that
have structures too close to the shoreline. The Zoning Code provides for non-conformities which existed
prior to adoption of the Code to continue in existence as long as the use of the property is not expanded,
intensified or altered. The applicant is also focusing on a relatively small cross-section of the Shoreland
zoning district. There are also eight other lakes which are subject to the Shoreland district regulations. .
The regulations intent is to keep the shoreland looking as natural as possible. To grant a variance in this
case would convey a privilege not enjoyed by others. The intent of the City has been to remove non-
conforming structures rather than allow more. A number of non-conforming structures have been
required to be removed from Christmas Lake. Both the City code and state statutes provide that the
"hardship" faced by the owner can not have been brought about by the actions of the owner. There was
not a building permit issued for this deck. The contractor should have been aware of the necessity of a
building permit.
Nielsen noted the City has just updated the comprehensive plan and one goal of that plan was to protect
the natural characteristics of the woodlands and shorelands. To grant a variance in this case would serve
to proliferate the built environment rather than the natural character Shorewood values. Nielsen indicated
staff is recommending denial of the variance request.
Richard Hoyt, 5710 Ridge Road, acknowledged he had built the deck without a building permit but he
had not been aware a permit was necessary. He stated he felt the uniqueness of the property justifies the
granting of a variance. He stated he understood the philosophy and legitimate interest of preserving the
environment but noted that he had gone to an extreme extent to design the roof of the porch portion of the .
deck so all runoff is diverted as far up the hill as possible and landscaped on all three sides. This had
been done in an endeavor to preserve the serenity of Christmas Lake. He stated the deck can hardly be
seen from either side and within a year or two, the bushes and trees will totally obscure the deck. He
noted the topographic features are another reason for granting the variance. The topography creates a
problem of enjoying the lake. He stated you can get down to the lake but are unable to do anything down
there. He noted his property is 110 feet above the lake and his home is 300 feet from the shoreline. He
does not feel granting the variance will afford him any privilege not enjoyed by others. If the variance is
not granted it will deny him reasonable use of his property.
Chair Rosenberger entered a letter received by Nancy Thompson Ulvestad and Rolf F. Ulvestad, 5730
Ridge Road into record.
Chair Rosenberger opened the public hearing at 8:42 p.m.
Kevin Kuester, 5885 Christmas Lake Road, stated there are those that like these structures, those who
don't. He has lived in the area for seven years and there has always been a balance. He noted whatever
decision was made tonight will result in more or less of these structures. He stated this was what the
Commission needed to consider more than anything.

December 5, 1995 - PAGE 6
Chair Rosenberger closed the public hearing at 8:43 p.m.
Commissioner Kolstad asked if the other properties on Christmas Lake had these structures before the
zoning changed and when the setbacks had been changed. Nielsen stated he felt this was the case. He
noted Christmas Lake is a difficult area to monitor as there is no access to the lakeshore. There have
been various complaints at various times and some structures have been required to be removed. If a
complaint is received the City will investigate and try to determine when the structure was built. He
stated the 50 foot setback has been in place since at least 1973. The newer shoreland management
guidelines of a 75 foot setback have been in place since 1985. The Shoreland Guidelines were amended
last year to include the bluff impact zone.
Commissioner Kolstad asked if there had been a situation similar to this where a resident had been asked
to remove a structure. Nielsen indicated he could recall only one such situation which involved a gazebo
on Lake Minnetonka. Commissioner Kolstad reported she did view the deck on site and acknowledged
Mr. Hoyt had gone to great lengths to hide the deck with vegetation and landscaping. She stated there
was a deck to the south and many others along the shoreline that were the same as Mr. Hoyt's. She did
not feel his deck would alter the character of the area.
.
Commissioner Turgeon stated she had also visited the site and agreed with Commissioner Kolstad. Her
only difficulty was in setting a precedent not only on Christmas Lake but on all the lakes. The decks to
the right and left of the property could have been put in long ago and are "grandfathered in". She stated
there was no hardship. Mr. Hoyt has access to the lake. He is not being denied a privilege afforded to
others. The topography is similar in the lots all many of the lots along the side of the lake and those
residents are not allowed to build a deck either.
.
Chair Rosenberger stated he felt a variance would not have been granted even if Mr. Hoyt had
approached the Commission before building the deck. He stated the issue of whether the property could
be put to a "reasonable" use was open for debate. A structure that close to the lake would alter the
character of the area. He stated he understood the neighbors had similar decks. If these are non-
conforming, these residents would also be asked to support a variance. He stated he had difficulties
supporting the variance.
Commissioner Kolstad stated she had difficulties with the term "reasonable use". Nielsen indicated this
term was somewhat subjective.
Turgeon moved, Lizee seconded to recommend to the Council that it deny a setback
variance for Richard Hoyt, 5710 Ridge Road and the applicant correct the violation by
June 1, 1996. Motion passed 4/0.
The Council will consider the recommendation at its December 11, 1995 meeting.
Mr. Hoyt asked if he could have time to determine some alternatives. Nielsen explained the procedure
for having the item removed from the December 11, 1995 City Council agenda. Mr. Hoyt's request will
be considered at the February 26, 1996 Council meeting.

Our office has received a complaint regarding on-street parking generated by the office building at
6020 Chaska Road. Although this site met Shorewood's parking requirements at the time the
building was built, there appears to be an inordinate amount of cars for the size of the building.
Not only have cars routinely parked on the street, but complaints allege that cars park elsewhere on
the site, outside of designated parking areas.
The fIrst reaction to this problem is to post "no parking" signs along Chaska Road. Given the size
of residential lots in the vicinity and the relatively long driveways which exist, this is not
anticipated to cause a problem for residents. The owner of the office building would, however,
have to fmd some way to resolve his parking problem.
In brief conversations with the offIce building owner and the property owner of the land nexUo the
office building, there has been some discussion of the office building acquiring additional land to
increase its parking. This would require replatting, a rezoning of the parcel to be conveyed, and
revision to the conditional use permit under which the office building exists. Such an application is
viewed as a good way to solve this problem.
The owner of the offIce building has been advised, by copy of this letter,. that this matter will be
discussed at Monday night's meeting. It is recommended that no action be taken until the office
building owner has had a chance to respond to the problem. If no such response is forthcoming, a
neighborhood meeting should be scheduled with Chaska Road residents potentially affected by an
on-street parking ban to discuss such a solution. If the office building owner is able to acquire
additional land, a parking ban may not be necessary.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me prior to
Monday night's meeting.

MSA Designation for Vine Hill Road from Town Line Road to State Trunk Highway 7
As discussed during the work sessions with the City Council, staff is recommending that Vine Hill
Road from Town Line Road to State Trunk Highway 7 be designated as an Municipal State Aid
(MSAS) route.
.
Since this roadway is a common boundary for the Cities of Minnetonka, Chanhassen, and
Shorewood, all of the Cities need to designate this as a MSAS route to utilize state aid funds.
Currently,
Vine Hill Road is not scheduled for reconstruction within the City of Shorewood's 5 year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). The City of Minnetonka also views any reconstruction of Vine Hill
Road approximately 5 years away.
If Vine Hill Road is approved as a state aid roadway, several other segments would be removed to
make up the balance of the mileage available based on 20 percent of the City's roadway lengths.
Staff has reviewed the state aid system and recommends that the following changes be made:
MSA Designation Additions:
Vine Hill Road from State TH. 7 to the south City Limits (half mileage since common corporate
boundary 0.69 miles)
MSA Designation Removals
Segment 216-106-010; Eureka Road from Smithtown Road to Birch Bluff Road (0.52 miles)
Segment 216-105-010; Birch Bluff Road from Grant Lorenz to Eureka Road (0.43 miles)
Segment 216-110-010; Yellowstone Trail from TH 7 to Country Club Road (0.49 miles)

As you will notice, the balance of roadway segments being designated as MSAS is 0.69 miles,
whereas the removals from the MSAS designation is 1.74 miles. In addition to making changes in the
routes, there has been a discrepancy in previous mileage certifications prepared which included the
private roadways as part of our mileage basis. The "private miles" deducted from our base mileage
brings the balance back down to 0.5 miles of mileage being undesignated which is an acceptable limit.
As we review the State Aid Needs report which has to be submitted to the state very soon, we may
come back to the City Council with a resolution making use of the 0.5 miles balance. Staff is
requesting approval of the changes suggested such that the mileage certifications and redesignations .
can be forwarded to the office of State Aid in a timely manner.
A resolution is attached for your consideration

Proposed Excelsior Fire Department Fire Truck Replacement
The attached packet is material handed to the administrators at our meeting Thursday, April
18. The Excelsior Fire Department has been researching an appropriate type ofvehic1e to
replace the 1969 Mac Pumper, which is due for replacement. They are proposing a 65'
Telesquirt which is an aerial ladder and water tower. This will be the fIrst response engine.
Even with extended braces, it only has an 1 L' width. Its turning radius is as good as the
current engine's.
Their equipment replacement schedule planning document is included in the packet. It
explains that this piece of equipment can be purchased for delivery in 1997 without going
into debt. Further this schedule lays out future purchases over the next 16 years which
does not require use of equipment certificates with the exception of the very last year.
The City Councils of Deephaven, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Bay are invited to a
presentation about this truck Tuesday, April 30, 1996 at 7:30 p.m. at the Excelsior City
Council chambers. Please review the enclosed material carefully. If you have any

Per your memorandum dated November 1, 1995 regarding 1996 vehicle
purchase. We respectfully forward the requested justifications and
comments for the repalacement of 1969 Mack 1000 GPM pumper.
The truck committee has spent numerous hours in coming up with what we
hope to be an acceptable explaination of the equipment which we feel will
best meet the needs of Excelsior Fire Department and our contract cities.
We have endeavored to answer the memorandum dated January 20, 1994
addressed to our most recent Chief and Assistant Fire Chief. We hope that
you and the Council will find them in order.
We are ready, willing and able to meet with you and the Council at your
convenience to make our personal presentation.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE 65' TELE-SQUIRT
OBJECTIVE: Replacement of 26 year old Mack pumper. Replacement
plan calls for pumpers to be replaced every 20 years.
CONSIDERATIONS: Replacement pumpers are not just carbon copies of
the trucks they replace. We used to ride on the tail board of the trucks.
Then we progressed to riding in jump seats in the truck we are now
considering replacing. Since then, the last two trucks we ordered have had
fully enclosed cabs. Each change has been driven by the safety of the
firefighters and the technology becoming available to make the changes.
As the communities we serve grow and change, the needs of the fire .
department must change to reflect this. There has been a large increase in
the number of structures and 33% increase in population growth in the 26
years since the 1969 Mack pumper was purchased. We have even seen
greater growth since our newest pumper was purchased nine years ago.
These structures include a lot of large single family dwellings, some
townhouses, small strip mall centers, and office buildings. There also have
been large activities to exiting churches, primarily for church schools and
day cares. Buildings have become closer together and the type of building
construction has changed, as well as the building materials. This means that
light weight truss construction is being utilized leading to earlier structural
collapse during a fire. The contents of the buildings have also changed,
there is more polyurethane, more plastic and other petroleum based .
material used, which generate toxic smoke and gases and more heat.
Houses are better insulated and so hold in the heat of the fire better and
allow the fire to do more damage, faster. Also, residential dwellings are
being built taller by the restoration of 10' ceilings instead of 8', the extensive
use of vaulted ceilings, and homes with roofs that have a 20' to 24' eve to
peak measurement with a 10/12 or 12/12 pitch. All of this increases the risk
for firefighter injury.
Our challenge was to find a truck that would be effective in the changing
solutions our communities present now and will continue to present in the
future. Yet this truck still must be able to maneuver in the narrow streets
and long, narrow driveways that are common to our service area.
1
To accomplish this we had two choices. One was to buy a pumper and
more ground ladders to do the work the same way we always have done it.
The other was to buy a pumper and install a Tele-Squirt device on it. A
Tele-Squirt is a hydraulic telescoping ladder reaching 50' to 75' in height
and having an elevated master stream capable of flowing 1,000 gallons per
minute.
.
TELE-SQUIRT RESEARCH - The committee spent approximately 12 - 18
months researching the various aerial equipment available. These aerial
devices have hydraulic telescoping ladders that when extended can reach
from 50' to 110'. We not only read about these trucks but went to look at
them. We also had them brought into the communities we serve and drove
them down our streets and up our driveways and raised their ladders at our
structures to test their ability to be functional in our situations. The
following is a brief summary of our results:
50' Tele-Squirt - This truck maneuvers very well in our communities.
However, we found that the ladder was too short to be really useful
once the necessary set back from the structure was observed. Cost of
$290,000 to $335,000.
.
100' Aerial - The 100' ladder had excellent reach. However, it's
overall length and wheel base caused access problems on our narrow
streets. It is estimated that it would be usable in only 45 % - 50% of
our coverage area. This truck also was only capable of carrying 200 -
300 gallons of water. They are generally tandem axle making them
less maneuverable. Cost of $465,000 to $500,000.
75' Aerial - The ladder reach on this truck was excellent. The
problem was that both the wheel base and the overall length of the
truck was too long to maneuver in some areas. This truck would only
be usable in 65% - 70% of our coverage area. Additionally, this truck
was limited to carrying 400 - 500 gallons of water. In order to carry
more water, as a first run pumper in our area needs to do, it would
have to be a tandem axle truck. The tandem axle increases the length
and wheel base of the truck making it usable in even less of our
2
coverage area. It also increases the cost of the truck. Additionally,
when maneuvering the ladder to set it down on the roof for
ventilation work, or into a window for rescue, the waterway which is
located under the ladder is more susceptible to damage. Cost is
$395,000 to $450,000.
65' Tele-Squirt - During our search, a new aerial device that could be
added to a pumper was introduced, the '65 Tele-Squirt. Because it
was new, it took about 6 months for us to have one available to field
test in our communities.
Of all the aerial devices we tried, this one worked the best for our
application. The 65' ladder reach was adequate. The overall length
of the truck is approximately 2 1/2' longer than our current pumpers, .
however, the wheel base is 3" shorter than our current pumpers. This
means that this truck has a tighter turning radius than our current
pumpers making the vehicle usable in 95% of our coverage area.
Additionally, this truck is capable of carrying 600 gallons of water.
The pumper it would replace carries 500 gallons of water. The two
newest pumpers each carry 800 gallons of water.
The waterway on this device runs along each side of the ladder. The
ladder protects the waterway. This means that the device can shift
immediately from rescue or roof work to master stream use and back
again with no loss of time and no need to reconfigure the waterway.
The controls on this device were also easier to use.
.
All aerial devices need outriggers to stabilize the vehicle when the ladder is
extended. Different vehicles have different outrigger configurations. Due
to the configuration of the outriggers on the 65' Tele-Squirt, it actually has
an effective reach of just 5 feet less than the 75' Aerial. This is because the
spread of the outriggers on the 75' is 14' - 18', while the spread on the 65' is
11'. This means the 75' aerial must start out farther away from the
structure, meaning more ladder is needed to reach the same height. To
figure the total spread of the outriggers, the truck is 8' wide, with the
outriggers extending equally on either side of the truck. So in an 11'
~
:J
.
.
spread, the outriggers extend 11/2' on either side of the truck. A device
with 18' spread means the outriggers extend 5' on either side of the truck.
The narrower configuration of the 65' Tele-Squirt outriggers means that it
can be used in narrower spaces than the larger aerial devices with a wider
outrigger system. This is important given the narrow streets and long
narrow driveways frequently found in the communities we serve.
The turntable on a 65' Tele-Squirt is very small in comparison to the longer
ladders. This allows a hose bed on the truck that is comparable to the
pumpers we now use. We would be able to maintain 800' - 1000' of 5"
LDH, 600' of 2 1/2" - 3" hose and the attack lines. This wouldn't be
possible on the longer aerial devices.
After weighing all the information, it was decided, that for our situation, the
65' Tele-Squirt best suited our needs. It gave us the longest usable ladder
on the wheel base that would work in our communities. It had the easiest
controls to use. It had the flexibility to switch from rescue or roof work to
discharging water without any extra steps. It carries the most water of the
aerial devices on a single axle and allows us to carry the same amount of
hose we currently carry on a pumper. It has the flexibility to be a ladder or
a pumper or both.
The next issue was which is safety and more practical, the 65' Tele-Squirt or
a standard pumper with ground ladders. We have had much new
construction in our communities since the last pumper was purchased. One
trend in new homes is roofs with 20' - 24' spans from eave to peak, coupled
with steep 10/12 or 12/12 pitch. Some of these roofs are cedar shakes.
These roofs are difficult and dangerous to climb and cut holes in during the
best of conditions. It is necessary to cut holes in the roof to vent the
structure and allow the fire to dissipate the heat, smoke, and toxic gases up
and out, to prevent backdraft and reduce the chances of flashover, instead
of containing them in the structure so that we can get into the structure to
perform rescue, extinguish the fire and minimize the damage. Ventilating
the roof of a building prevents a backdraft explosion which is caused by a
fire that has been burning and then becomes starved for oxygen in order to
keep burning. Under this condition, when a firefighter opens a door or
window to extinguish the fire or perform a search for occupants before
venting the roof, a violent explosion can occur when the fire gets oxygen.
4
the explosion can cause severe injury to the firefighter and a lot of damage
to the building. Flashovers occur when everything in the room, or area in a
building, is heated to the point (1,000 to 1,400 degrees fahrenheit) where it
will all burn very suddenly and violently causing injury to any firefigher in
the room or area. Venting the roof reduces the chances of flashover and
allows the firefighters to get into the structure to perform rescue, extinguish
the fire, and minimize the damage. Additionally, the trend is toward 10'
ceilings instead of 8' ceilings in the more expensive homes, making the
reach from the ground to the eaves 2' taller for each story on the house.
Keep in mind that we do this wearing bulky bunker gear and SCBA making
it more difficult. Other considerations are rain, ice, snow, and cold
temperatures further complicate the job approximately half the year.
To ventilate a roof on a two-story structure with ground ladders, a minimum .
30' ladder is needed to reach from the ground to the eaves. Additionally,
then a roof ladder is needed to reach from the eaves to the peak. Our
present roof ladders are only 14' long, so on the 20' - 24' reach roofs, two
roof ladders must be joined together in order to reach the peak. When
placing the first ladder it must be pushed over the peak with a pike pole
before the second roof ladder is hooked over the bottom rung of the first to
complete the task. This requires an additional piece of equipment to
manipulate. Should this evolution get out of control the falling items could
be a definite safety hazard to the firefighters on the roof and on the ground.
It takes a minimum of three firefighters to carry and raise the 30' ladder,
plus one or two firefighters to carry the roof ladder(s) and one additional
firefighter to carry the saw or axe. We only carry one roof ladder per truck .
is if two roof ladders are needed, we must wait for the second truck to
arrive. It takes approximately 5 - 10 minutes to get the ladder set up and
have a person on the roof starting to cut the ventilation hole. Keep in mind
that this time is under ideal conditions. Fire ground conditions are usually
less than ideal.
The 65' Tele-Squirt (hereafter called "Tele-Squirt") will have a 22' - 24' roof
ladder mounted on the side of the 65' ladder ready to use. With the Tele-
Squirt it takes only 4 to 6 minutes to have a person on the roof ready to cut
a ventilation hole. Not only is the Tele-Squirt faster to set up, it also is less
labor intensive which is especially important during the day when fewer
firefighters are available to respond.
5
.
The Tele-Squirt also increases firefighter safety. First, the firefighters do
not have to carry and raise the ladder. It is hard to climb a 10/12 or 12/12
pitch roof. With the Tele-Squirt, you spent less time on the roof and only
have one firefighter on the roof, instead of two. One firefighter stays on the
Tele-Squirt, a more level base, to back up the firefighter cutting the hole.
This results in more stable footing, better security for the firefighter with the
saw, less weight on the roof and less chance of either firefighter falling
through the roof, off the roof, or otherwise being injured. New light-weight
truss construction is being used so roofs tend to collapse faster. Lightweight
truss construction also means we are dealing with 24" on center instead of
16" on center between the rafters. This means less support and more open
gaps for a firefighter to fall through. These roofs can collapse within 20
minutes of being exposed to fire. They also are using 1/2" particle board
instead of 1/2" plywood. Particle board disintegrates faster when exposed to
fire further endangering the firefighter on the roof. Also by having
firefighters on the roof sooner, it speeds ventilation and lessens the damage
the fire can cause to the structure.
.
The Tele-Squirt is also more effective in a lot of rescue situations. When a
ladder is needed to reach a victim, it will often be faster to use the Tele-
Squirt than a ground ladder. Where the Tele-Squirt will have the definite
advantage is when multiple rescues are necessary. The taller the structure
where the rescue is required, the more effective the Tele-Squirt will be.
Again, any time ground ladders don't have to be carried and raised, the risk
of injury to firefighters is lessened. By getting to the victim faster, the
survival rate of the victim is greater. The Tele-Squirt can not completely
replace ground ladders. There will always be certain situations where only
ground ladders can be used.
We have a lot of multiple dwellings in our coverage area that do not have
sprinklers or standpipes. This means that either the firefighters have to
drag hose up the stairwells behind them, or go in and throw a rope out of
an upper floor window and pull the hose up through the window, all of
which takes time, while the building is still burning. The Tele-Squirt acts as
a standpipe for the building, allowing the firefighters to get water to the fire
sooner, extinguish the fire sooner, thus minimizing the risk to the firefighter
and reducing the fire loss.
6
Large fires need large volumes of water to extinguish them. The Tele-
Squirt is capable of flowing 1,000 gpm from an elevated waterway. Under
certain conditions, this 1,000 gpm is more effective than four 2 1/2" hand
lines each putting out 250 gpm. Besides being more effective, it takes more
people to man four hand lines. Again it takes one to two firefighters to
operate the Tele-Squirt. It takes a minimum of three firefighters for each 2
1/2" hand line, plus the pump operator at the pumper. So it takes 13 people
to deliver as much water with less effect than the Tele-Squirt. It also takes
more time to get enough firefighters to the scene to stretch out all the hose
lines and put them into operation. Any time a fire is burning, time is the
enemy. The fire grows in multiples of itself every minute. It is easier to
redirect the flow of water from the Tele-Squirt any time it is necessary. It
also has the ability to reach higher areas than hand lines and ground
ladders. The savings in needed personnel again are more important during .
the day when fewer people are available.
In addition to being used for fire suppression, the master stream on the
Tele-Squirt can be used to protect other structures near the burning
structure. Houses are being built closer together today than they have been
in the past. Some areas of our coverage have very small lot sizes. We also
have townhomes and businesses that share walls. The master stream on the
Tele-Squirt can be used to prevent the fire from spreading to these other
structures with less personnel needed.
Business Districts and Shopping Centers provide additional challenges to
fire fighting. They require more water volume than residential fires. .
Ventilation becomes even more important not only to put out the fire and
minimize damage, but also to keep the fire from spreading to adjacent
buildings. Naturally, in any public building, the potential for loss of life and
the necessity of rescue is much greater due to the increased number of
people in the building.
In business districts, like those in our service area, there are connected
buildings with shared walls and common attics. In this situation fire extends
rapidly to buildings adjacent to the original fire leading to loss of a
significant portion of the business district. Studies have shown that better
than 50% of the businesses that have severe fires do not return to business.
This means a loss of jobs and tax base to the community.
7
.
.
We have had three major fires at Minnetonka Plaza with one business
totally destroyed and two to three others damaged each time. In each of
those fires the Tele-Squirt would have been very helpful. The exposed bar
joist construction of these malls make the roof dangerous and subject to
collapse at 900 degrees. The average house fire burns at 1000 - 1400
degrees. With a Tele-Squirt, large volumes of water can be aimed into the
bar joist area to cool them and prevent roof collapse. This helps extinguish
the fire faster, with less damage and less chance of fire spread all without
risking the safety of the firefighters.
There also are many apartment buildings in our service area. They average
18 - 27 units each. In this situation the Tele-Squirt becomes a good rescue
tool. Apartment buildings have a large occupancy load with the potential
for a large number of fatalities in a bad fire. The Tele-Squirt can provide
the standpipe capability that most of our apartment buildings lack. It is
faster to set up, getting water on the fire faster or effecting more rescues in
less time. In a rescue situation, multiple units can be reached without
moving the truck and without having to lower, reposition, and re-raise
ground ladders. The Tele-Squirt can deliver more water to the fire than
firefighters with hand lines. It also can deliver that increased water capacity
faster to help extinguish a potentially larger fire. By doing all these things
the Tele-Squirt increases firefighter safety.
The information presented above explains why the Fire Department feels it
is desirable to purchase a 65' Tele-Squirt as a replacement for the pumper
that needs to be retired. It is the new technology that will allow us to:
*
Give more protection to our citizens, especially during the day
when fewer firefighters are available;
*
Give the department increased flexibility in attacking the fire;
*
Provide a faster, safer way to perform rescues at fires and
emergenCIes;
*
Reduce risk of injury, disability, or death to firefighters;
*
Reduce liability to the cities we serve.

The Mack was purchased on a 25 year replacement plan. The truck is now
26 years old and it will be 28 years old before a new truck arrives.
When purchasing a truck we have to look not only at our present needs, but
also to our needs 20 to 25 years in the future because that is how long this
replacement equipment will be expected to perform. As the communities
we serve have grown since our last pumper was purchased, they will
continue to grow through new development, remodeling with major
additions, and structures demolished and replaced with larger and taller
units. This means that the problems already discussed will not only
continue to exist, but will multiply.
Recently we have completed an ISO/CSR survey of our service area. Prior
to the 1995 survey the most recent inspection had been done in 1977 (18 .
years ago). The 1977 ISO report stated we should look into the
procurement of a ladder truck to cover our forthcoming needs of population
growth as well as servicing the taller buildings and homes being constructed.
Based on the above, we targeted our search for a replacement truck on an
aeriallladder type vehicle. The results of the 1995 survey pointed out that
there is a more pressing need for this type of vehicle due to the taller
structures that have been built. (Copies of ISO/CSR surveys are attached.)
The Insurance Service Office (ISO) recommends an aerial device for our
insurance rating when either of these two conditions exist.
1.
The community has four buildings taller than the reach of
ground ladders.
.
We have five (5) buildings which meet this description: The
Gables, the three-story School Administration Building, the
three-story portion of the Excelsior Elementary School, the
Deephaven Education Center, and the new First State Bank of
Excelsior at Highway 7 at Old Market Road. Forty to fifty foot
long ground ladders do exist, but they are highly manpower
intensive, requiring a minimum of six (6) firefighters to carry
and raise. They take even longer to raise than the examples
already given and are more difficult to reposition if it becomes
necessary. They also greatly increase the risk of back injury to
the firefighter.
9
, ,
2. The community has three or four buildings that require a fire
flow of 3,500 gpm.
We have five (5) buildings which fit this description:
Windemere Apartments, three-story portion of Excelsior
Elementary School, Shorewood Shopping Center, The Gables,
and Deephaven Education Center.
The truck with original specifications was ready to go to bid in September of
1992. It was on a custom chassis to keep the wheel base short. The
projected cost at that time was $335,000.
.
Due to contract problems, there was a two year delay before we received
approval to go forward with the project. During those two years, there were
changes in Apparatus Standards, DOT Standards, Emissions Standards,
Safety Standards, and NFP A Standards. We spent the last year reviewing
the equipment and making sure there was nothing new on the market to
better comply with these new and revised standards. We also analyzed
whether or not our present or projected needs had changed. We then
rewrote the specifications to conform to the new standards mentioned above
as well as the changes that had occurred in truck components; i.e. running
gear, transmission, etc.
.
Other fire departments around us do have aerial equipment with ladders 85'
to 100' long. It has been asked why we can't just call mutual aid when we
need a piece of aerial equipment.
1. The neighboring trucks are all longer than the Tele-Squirt we
are proposing. This means that their aerial equipment can't be
of assistance in a substantial portion of our coverage area.
2. We will be at the scene first. This means that either we keep
the first due truck further away from the fire lessening its
effectiveness while waiting for the aerial to get there, or that the
spot the aerial needs to assume is already occupied by one of
our pumpers.
10
3. Time is the enemy in any fire. Any mutual aid equipment takes
longer to arrive at the fire than our own equipment. This
means more time for the fire to spread and do more damage.
Mutual aid equipment arrives at least 10 to 15 minutes after our
trucks, meaning it finally arrives on the scene 20 to 25 minutes
after the initial call. This is far too late for ventilation or rescue.
4. The aerial needs to be the first piece of equipment arriving on
the scene, which means it has to come from our station, as a
first run truck.
5.
We will still have to call on our neighbors for their aerial
equipment in some cases just as they may need to call upon us.
.
Keep in mind that the 1969 Mack pumper is overdue for replacement. The
purchase of a replacement pumper has been in the long range Fire
Department plans. The purchase of the 65' Tele-Squirt is not a request for
an additional truck. It is a necessary replacement of a truck that is ready to
be retired. We are asking for a Tele-Squirt to be added to the replacement
vehicle.
Today's projected cost of the Tele-Squirt is $390,000 - $425,000. The cost
of the pumper portion without a Tele-Squirt is $240,000 - $260,000.
PIAN FOR HOUSING: The 65' Tele-Squirt has a height of 12' 4". Our
present 12' overhead door will require modification. The header over the .
door is not a weight bearing header. The header and glass would have to
be removed and replaced with a 14' door. Two years ago, the cost for all
work was estimated at $4,000 - $7,000.
The Five Year Budget will not be adversely affected by the purchase of the
65' Tele-Squirt. The funds that have been, and are scheduled to be,
allocated to the Equipment Replacement Fund will be adequate to fund the
purchase of this vehicle without causing a deficit in the fund. The only way
the purchase of this vehicle would cause a shortfall is if in future years of
the remaining five year contract the budget was cut in the area of
equipment replacement.
If the truck is ordered in early 1996, delivery of the truck would be
somewhere between mid 1997 and late 1997.

Dear Mr. Zieman:
We are enclosing Classification De'"..ails and Improvement Sta:rements in response to your request. Tnese
details and s--..atements cover the items which are reviewed in our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule, and
which are of impo~L2Ilce in determining your fire insurance classification.
These Classification Details and lmprovement StatementS were developed. using the information obtained
during our 1995 survey and consider that conditions in your district remain the same. Tney refer only to
the fire insurance classification of your district which may be used in the c:Uculation of property insurance
premiums and are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes.
.
The city classification applies to properties with a needed. fire flow of3500 gpm or less. The private and
public protection at properties with larger needed. fire flows are individually e'laluated, and may vary from
the city classification. .
Please contact us if you have any questions concerning the Clclosed material.

The ladder can be raised to 850 above
horizontal or depressed 100 below (if
unobstructed) .
.
The rear operator's
;ontrol panel includes
the popular Snorkel
"one-hand" control for
boom and turntable
movements, leaving the
other hand free to oper-
ate nozzle switches or .
control engine RPM with
the vernier throttle.
The TELE-SQURT 65 pedestal requires only 20" of width at the
rear of the hose bed allowing ample space on either side to pull
out large diameter hose. Plus, there is space for a large main
hose bed, cross lay hose beds, a booster reel and booster tank,
normally, 500 gallons.
The rugged TELE-SQURT 65's high strength-to-
weight ratio extruded aluminum box-beam boom
provides a rigid support for the aerial ladder . With
the boom fully extended, at any angle of opera-
tion, it can support the nozzle reaction from 1000
G PM flow, even with the nozzle at 900 to the side
or 300 above horizontal, plus a 250 lb. tip load.

INTO MUCH MORE
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
Snorkel developed and introduced the Snorkel~ elevating
platform for the Fire Service in 1958, revolutionizing
firefighting. From this original concept a whole new
generation of fire fighting apparatus has evolved.
In 1970 with the TELE-SQURT 50, and again, in 1973
with the TELE-SQURT 75, Snorkel provided fire fighters
with innovative, valuable life and property saving
equipment.
Now, the TELE-SQURT 65 turns your pumper into a
fast-attack, first-out aerial, ready to do the whole job, fi.
fighting and rescue. . .fast.
Its overall nested length, normally 32 feet, provides a
short, maneuverable unit. Plus, the TELE-SQURT 65 is
cost effective - it can be put into service quickly, by the
same pumper crew, with no need for additional personnel.
The load-sensing hydraulic system permits simultaneous
operation of functions without reducing operating speed.
For rescue operations, it is a rugged aerial ladder. The
rated capacities of 500 lb. tip load (1000 lb., evenly
distributed) up to 45~ and 800 lb. tip load (1600 Ibs., evenly
distributed) above 450 with the tip unsupported, or with
the tip supported above O~ 1600 Ibs., evenly distributed
over the length of the ladder provides continual egress of
many people.
For fire extinguishment, the TELE-SQURT 65 delivers a
1000 GPM master stream from ground level up to 65 fe.
even while the boom is being raised. lowered, exten
or retracted. The nozzle can be swept 1800 laterally in a
straight or flat plane and has 2000 vertical travel, 300 above
to 1700 below the horizontal centerline of the boom. Water
can be directed up, down or swept in a broad plane and
flow can be changed from straight stream to full fog with
three nozzle control switches at the operator's control
panel or by a duplicate set of switches at the top of the
boom. Extended to penetrate window or doorway
openings or down narrow alleys, the TELE-SQURT 65
puts the water where it's needed.
Small volunteer and large metropolitan fire departments
alike are discovering that the TELE-SQURT 65 delivers
the fire fighting and rescue capabilities they need with a
one-time capital investment. The multi-purpose TELE-
SQURT 65 adds the best features of an aerial ladder and
elevated master stream to a new pumper unit without the
need for additional manpower.
Put your fire fighting funds where they will be the most
effective. TELE-SQURT equipment is on the fire line
everyday. World-wide. Ask your colleagues. Then contact
your Snorkel representative.

MINUTES
SOUTH LAKE MINNETONKA PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT
Minutes of a regular meeting of the Coordinatina Committee of the South
Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department held af the Sout~ Lake Min~'
netonka Public Safety Department building, 810 Excelsior BouJevard, Ex~'
celsior, on April 10,1996 at 5:15 p.m. .~- -'_-:-::-:-
-.._-~
The meeting was called to order at 5:19 p.m. by Chairman Bean. Other
members present were Albrecht, Anderson and Haug. Chief Young, Excelsior
City Manager Carl Zieman, Shorewood City Administrator James Hurm, Tonka
Bay City Administrator Pat Wussow, Excelsior. representative Lloyd Brat~
land and Adm. Clerk Marietta Korpi were also present.
CONSENT AGENDA - It was moved by Albrecht, seconded by Anderson, to ap-
prove the Consent Agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
ADDENDUM TO APRIL VERIFIEDS - It was moved by Albrecht, seconded by An-
derson, to approve the Addendum to the April verifieds. Motion carried
unanimously.
.
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT - Anderson said that previously Excelsior had asked
a lot of questions that related to the Joint Powers Agreement and com-
plimented Chief Young in br~nging the information to them. He said that
Excelsior is looking at reducing the number of patrol hours spent in
their city. They still want to allow for ample time for policing that
Excelsior needs but would like to cut about 500 hours per year for general
patrol and was wondering if Shorewood would want to pick that up. The
Chief said he had broken down Excelsior's time into complaints, investi-
gation, traffic stops, etc. and the remaining time is patrol time.
There was general discussion about adding the 500 hours to Shorewood's
full time officer, cutting the hours of another officer to 3/4 time, traf-
fic and the effect cutting hours would have on that, overtime, spreading
the 500 hours amongst the other three cities, changing the budget, etc.
.
Chief Young stated that the committee can not cut an officer's time to
3/4; they would have to lay the officer off and then re-hire him back
part-time.
Anderson asked that each mayor take the matter back to their council for
discussion and bring information_back to the next Coordinating Committee
meeting. As to the next formula for the Joint Powers Agreement, Haug
would like to see miles of roads put back into it.
CABLECASTING OF MEETINGS - Young sent a memo to the committee as to his
findings about the possibility of cablecasting our meetings. He had
talked to Jim Daniels of the Cable Commission who came over and looked
at our facility. It was his opinion that the meetings could not be taped
in the present meeting room. Albrecht said he did not want to move our
meetings somewhere else. He also did not want the meetings televised as
he said people do not speak directly and how they feel when a camera is
present. They discussed the cost, which would be $40 to the department,
and there is no cost to the cities. Young suggested that Excelsior's
cable commission representative, Bob Murphy, talk_to Daniels. Albrecht
said to drop the matter from the next agenda.

DEPARTMENT INSURANCE - Chief Young stated that it is time to make the
annual appointment for agent of record for the department. He said that
every five years we have to bid and that was done last year and Twin
City Group received the bid. He said it would be his recommendation
that Twin City Group again be awarded the agent of record with a 5%
commission instead of 10%. It was moved by Anderson, seconded by Albrecht,
to appoint Twin City Group as the agent of record if their commission is
5%. Motion carried unanimously.
AUDIT REPORT - It was moved by Albrecht, seconded by Anderson, to accept
the audit report for 1995. Anderson said everything was in order and
:looked very good. Motion carried unanimously.
CLEANING SERVICES - Chief Young stated that we had two people doing our
cleaning services and one took another job and one has physical problems,
and is getting therapy. These gals were getting $10 an hour; one would
try to come back on a limited basis at $15 an hour. The Chief called ~
the other city halls and found out what they were paying for their clean-
ing services, and they range from $10.83 to $32.50 per hour. He said he
was just advising the committee that they may be paying more and that he
would probably have to go out for bid for these services.
JULY MEETING - The July meeting of the Coordinating Committee will be
delayed one week - to July 17.
RESERVE BANQUET.- The Reserve banquet for the department will be on May
21, 1996 and further info will be sent.
EMT TRAINING - Wussow asked if the officers are all EMT trained, and if
it is necessary for the fire department to be called right away on medi-
cals/accidents or could the police go there first. Several present said
that a minute or two may make the difference in life or death for a per-
son and that the fire department has equipment the police don't so it .
is imperative that they be called at the same time as the officers. Al-.
brecht said our response time is phenomenal and envied by other cities.
CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION - Chief Young read the following statement:
The Coordinating Committee of the South Lake Minnetonka Public
Safety Department will hold a closed meeting in the conference
room of the South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department im-
mediately upon adjournment of this public meeting. The topic
of the closed meeting will be labor negotiations. The authority
for the closed meeting is MinnesotaStatute 471.705, Subd. la.
ADJOURNMENT - It was moved by Albrecht, seconded by Anderson, to adjourn
the meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To The Coordinating Committee
South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department
Excelsior, Minnesota
I have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of South Lake Minnetonka
Public Safety Department as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of
revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance of the General Fund for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of South Lake
Minnetonka Public Safety Department management. My responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstate-
ment. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by man-
agement, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of South Lake Minnetonka Public
Safety Department as of December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SOUTH LAKE MINNETONKA PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department was established by a joint and coop-
erative agreement between the Cities of Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka
Bay. The Department is organized to provide law enforcement services to the four
communities. The financial statements of the Department have been prepared in con-
formity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental
units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the accepted standard set-
ting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting prin-
ciples. The more significant accounting policies are described below.
A. Reporting Entity
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial state-
ments of the Department are required to include all funds, account groups, commis- ~
sions and other organizations over which the Department exercises oversight respon-
sibility. It was determined that there are no such organizations subject to the
Department's oversight responsibility which would require inclusion in the accom-
panying financial statements.
B. Fund Accounting
The Department uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position
and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate
legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions
related to certain government functions or activities.
A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set ,of accounts com-
prising its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. Financial
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the pur-
poses for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are ~
controlled. An account group, is a financial reporting device designed to provide ~
accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in funds
because they do not directly affect net expendable available financial resources.
The Department's funds and account group consist of the following:
General Fund - The General Fund is the primary operating fund and accounts
for all activities of the Department not accounted for in another fund.
Agency Fund - The Agency Fund accounts for assets maintained by the Depart-
ment on behalf of others as an agent. The fund is custodial in nature and
does not involve the measurement of the results of operations.
General Fixed Assets - Property and equipment owned by the Department are
recorded as assets in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. This account
group is concerned with the measurement of financial position and is not
involved with the measurement of the results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies, continued
C. Measurement Focus
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by
its measurement focus. The General Fund is accounted for on a current financial
resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and
current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet of the General Fund.
Reported fund balance is considered a measure of "available spendable resources."
The operating statement of the General Fund presents increases (revenues and other
financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net
current assets. Accordingly, this statement presents a summary of sources and uses
of available spendable resources.
Fixed assets acquired and used by the General Fund are accounted for in the General
Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in the General Fund.
D. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized and
reported in the financial statements regardless of the measurement focus. The
modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all funds of the Department. Under
the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become
measurable and available as net current assets. Measurable means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expen-
ditures are generally recorded under the modified accrual basis of accounting when
the related fund liability is incurred.
. E.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
A plan of financial operation for the Department is established in the budget
adopted by the Coordinating Committee. The budget outlines proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them. The budget of the General Fund is adopted on a
basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Budgeted amounts
shown in the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance are as
originally adopted or as amended. Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at
year end. In addition, outstanding encumbrances expire at year end.
F. Cash and Investments
Cash includes demand deposits and short-term investments with a maturity date
less than three months from acquisition date. Investment earnings are recognized
as earned; realized gains or losses from investments are recorded in the period
in which they occur.
Investments are stated at cost, except for investments of the deferred compensa-
tion plan which are stated at market value.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies, continued
G. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment owned by the Department are recorded as assets in the General
Fixed Assets Account Group. General fixed asset additions are recorded as expendi-
tures in the General Fund and capitalized in the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
These assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at
estimated historical cost when such records do not exist. Donated fixed assets are
valued at their estimated fair market value at the date received. Depreciation is
not provided for on general fixed assets.
H. Accrued Compensated Absences
Department employees are entitled to vacation pay based upon length of employment. ~
In addition, the Department has established a severance pay policy for its non-
union employees. This policy provides for severance payments upon termination of
employment based on accumulated sick leave accrued, subject to certain regulations.
Severance pay policy for union members is governed by individual union contracts.
Employees are also allowed to accrue compensatory time, which is payable upon
termination of employment.
Vested or accumulated compensated absences are reported as a liability of the
General Fund since the liability is expected to be liquidated with current expend-
able available financial resources of the General Fund.
I. Fund Equity
Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of current finan-
cial resources. Portions of the fund balance has been designated for a se1f-
insurance program, acquisition of equipment and other purposes. ~
J. Total Column on Combined Balance Sheet
The total column on the combined balance sheet statement is captioned "memorandum
only" to indicate that it is presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data
in these columns do not present financial position, results of operations or changes
in financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Neither is such data comparable to a consolidation. Interfund transactions have not
been eliminated in the aggregation of this data.
K. Comparative Data
Comparative totals for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying finan-
cial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the Department's
financial position and operations.
L. Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported for 1994 have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.

Note 5. Lease Commitments
The Department leases its office facilities from the City of Excelsior. Terms of
the lease agreement require a base rent of $38,400 per annum, payable in monthly
installments of $3,200. Rental payments shall continue until the amount expended
by the City of Excelsior, together with interest at 7.00% per annum, is fully amor-
tized, approximately another sixteen years. The leases continues in perpetuity
unless terminated as provided in the lease.
In addition, the Department leases equipment on varying terms and conditions.
Total rental expense of the Department for the year ended December 31, 1995 for
building and equipment leases amounted to $47,465.
Note 6. Joint Powers Agreement
.
South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department entered into a joint powers agree-
ment with other law enforcement agencies to form the Southwest Metro Drug Task
Force. The agreement is for one year, subject to annual renewal by its members.
The Department contributed $8,400 to the Task Force during the year ended Decem-
ber 31, 1995. The Department has renewed its participation in the Task Force and
a similar contribution will be made in 1996. No other financial commitment is
anticipated in 1996.
Note 7. Deferred Compensation Plan
The Department offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accor-
dance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all Depart-
ment employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years.
Participation in the plan is optional. The deferred compensation is not available
to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. All
amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased
with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights
are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the
property and rights of the Department subject only to the claims of the general
creditors of the Department. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to
those of general creditors of the Department in an amount equal to the fair market
value of the deferred account for each participant.
.
It is the opinion of the Department's legal counsel that the Department has no
liability for losses under the plan but, does have the duty of due care that would
be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The Department believes that it is
unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors
in the future.
Investments are managed by the plan's trustee and reported at market value. The
choice of the investment option(s) ;s made by the participants.

Note 8. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide
A. Plan Description
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the Department are covered by
defined benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement
Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees Retirement
Fund (PERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), which are cost-
sharing multiple-employer retirement plans. These plans are established and ad-
ministered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356.
.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated
Plan members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All
new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, fire-
fighters and peace officers who qualify for membership by statute are covered by
the PEPFF. The Department's payroll for employees covered by PERF and PEPFF for
the year ended December 31, 1995 was $65,062 and $654,280, respectively; the
Department's total payroll was $735,457.
.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and
benefits to survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by
State Statute, and vest after three years of credited service. The defined retire-
ment benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive
years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service. Two
methods are used to compute benefits for Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The
retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1)
or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for
a Basic Plan member is 2% of average salary for each of the first ten years of ser-
vice and 2.5% for each remaining year. For a Coordinated Plan member, the annuity
accrual rate is 1% of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.5% for
each remaining year. Using Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.5% of average
salary for Basic Plan members and 1.5% for Coordinated Plan members. For PEPFF mem-
bers, the annuity accrual rate is 2.65% for each year of service. For PEPF members
whose annuity is calculated using Method 1, and for all PEPFF members, a full annuity
is available when age plus years of service equal 90. A reduced retirement annuity
is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A
normal annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree. No
survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor
annuity options available which will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount, be-
cause the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contri-
butions in the fund upon termination of public service, in order to qualify for a
deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contributions are available at any
time to members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current
provisions and apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who
are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet, are bound by the provisions
in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.

B. Contributions Required and Contributions Made
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contribu-
tions. The Department makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the
amount required by state statutes. According to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 356.215,
the date of full funding required for the PERF and the PEPFF is July 1, 2020. As
part of the annual actuarial valuation, PERA's actuary determines the sufficiency of
the statutory contribution rates towards meeting the required full funding deadline.
The actuary compares the actual contribution rate to a "required" contribution rate.
The required contribution rate consists of (a) normal costs based on entry age nor-
mal cost methods, (b) a supplemental contribution for amortizing any unfunded actu-
arial accrued liability by the date of full funding, and (c) an allowance for admin-
istrative expenses. Current combined statutory contribution rates and actuarially
required contribution rates for the plans are as follows:
Public Employees Retirement Fund
(Basic and Coordinated Plans)
Public Employees Police and Fire Fund
Statutory Rates
------------------- Required
Employees Employer Rates
4.31%
7.60%
4.60%
11. 40%
9.76%
19.00%
Contributions made by the Department during the year ended December 31, 1995 were:
Percentage of
Amounts Covered Payroll
Employees Employer Employees Employer
Public Employees Retirement Fund $2,752 $2,915 4.23% 4.48%
Public Employees Police and Fire Fund 49,725 74,588 7.60% 11. 40%
--------- ---------
$52,477 $77 , 503
--------- ---------
--------- ---------
The Department's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1995 to the PERF and PEPFF
were less than 1% of the total contributions required of all participating entities.
C. Funding Status and Progress
1. Pension Benefit Obligation
The "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present
value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and
step-rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee ser-
vice to date. The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits
and is intended to help users assess PERA's funding status on a going-concern basis,
assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and
make comparisons among Public Employees Retirement Systems and participating employers.

This measure is independent of the actuarial funding method used to determine required
contributions, which is discussed in part B. PERA does not make separate measurements
of assets and pension benefit obligations for individual participating employers.

The pension benefit obligation was determined as part of an actuarial valuation at
July 1, 1995.
.
For the PERF, significant actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the pen-
sion benefit obligation include;
a) a. rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 8.5%
per. year, compounded annually, prior to retirement, and 5% per year, com-
pounded annually, following retirement;
b) projected salary increases taken from an age related table which incorpo-
rates a 5% base inflation assumption;
c) payroll growth of 6% per year, consisting of 5% for inflation and 1% due to
due to growth in group size;
d) post-retirement benefit increases that are accounted for by the 5% rate of
return assumption following retirement; and
e) mortality rates based on the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table set forward
one year for retired members and set back five years for each active member.
Actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the PEPFF include;
a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 8.5%
per year, compounded annually, prior to retirement, and 5% per year, Gom-
pounded annually, following retirement;
b) payroll salary increase of 6.5% per year, compounded annually, attributable
to the effects of inflation;
c) post-retirement benefit increases that are accounted for by the 5% rate of
return assumption following retirement; and
d) mortality rates based on the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table projected
to 1984 for males and females.

2. Changes in Plan Provisions and Actuarial Assumptions
Since the July 1, 1994 actuarial valuation, there were no changes in actuarial
assumptions of the PERF and the PEPFF which impacted funding costs.
Potential changes in the actuarial assumptions used for the PEPFF may be made in
the future. Results of an experience study for the fund during the four-year
period ending June 30, 1994, disclosed (a) retirees are living longer; (b) the
expected active member death rate is declining; (c) the trend toward earlier re~
tirement continues; and (d) the pattern of salary increases varies substan~ally
by ages, with a strong merit and seniority component evident at the younger ages.
Based on these results, PERA will soon consider revising the actuarial assumptions
for retirement age, mortality, payroll growth, and individual salary increases.
These changes, if adopted within fiscal year 1996, will significantly impact the
July 1, 1996 actuarial valuation of the PEPFF.
3. Changes in Benefit Provisions
The 1995 legislative session did not include any benefit improvements which would
impact funding costs for the PERF and the PEPFF.
D. Ten-Year Historical Trend Information
~. .~

.1
Ten year historical trend information is presented in PERA's Component Unit Finan-
cial Report for the year ended June 30, 1995. This information is useful in asses-
sing the pension plan's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits
as they become due. .
E. Related Party Transactions
As of June 30, 1995, and for the fiscal year then ended, PERA held no securities
issued by the Department, its member cities or other related parties.

either end of the watermain in order to isolate the meter. A bypass will be provided
around the meter. Refer to Appendix B.
V RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS
It is anticipated that all of the improvements can be constructed on the existing
Smithtown Road right-of-way. Smithtown Road generally consists of right-of-way 33
feet from the centerline of the existing paved surface. On the east side of Smithtown
Road, where it is proposed to place the watermain, a three-foot wire fence,
approximately 20-25 feet from the centerline of the existing road, runs along the
southerly 2/3 of the project route. It is proposed to construct the watermain without
disturbing this fence. The preliminary design assumes construction without procuring
additional rights-of-way or easements.
VI ESTIMATED COSTS AND COST PARTICIPATION
Estimated Cost - The total construction cost for this project is estimated to be
$149,000, including an allowance of 30% for indirect costs. The project cost estimate
assumes that no additional rights-of-way will be procured for the project and includes
costs to remove pavement and restore Smith Road in areas where the watermain
cannot be feasibly be placed between the edge of the pavement and the right-of-way
limit. A detailed cost estimate is included in the Appendix C of this report.
Cost Participation - The entire project will be financed through a combination of
assessments and outlays from the water fund. There are 16 existing platted parcels
which will be served by the proposed improvements. One of the parcels is tax
forfeited property which is unbuildable and cannot be assessed. Another parcel is
owned by Boulder Bridge Farm, Inc., and may not be buildable. However, it has
been included in the total of 15 existing parcels to be assessed at the rate of $5,000
each. If this parcel is not buildable, it is the obligation of the property owner to

prove so. It is estimated that 12 additional parcels could be created consisting of two
additional parcels on the Deikel property and 10-12 additional parcels on the
Ridinger trustee property. The future parcels would provide $120,000 in revenues
based upon the current assessment and trunk charge rates of $5,000 each. The City
reserves the right to increase these fees in the future based upon changes in the cost
of providing water service.

As requested, we have developed a projections for the number of connections, population,
and average day and maximum day water demands for the Boulder Bridge and Badger Field
water systems. These projections are based on the following assumptions:
· Number of connections will increase linearly over the next 10 years, from
current connection numbers to the total projected connections of 872 in
Boulder Bridge and 520 in Badger Field.
. Population is based on an average of 2.75 people per connection.
· Average daily flow is based on 100 gpcd.
· The maximum daily flow is based on 350 gpcd.
These projections are tabulated in the attached Table 1. Well pumping capacities are also
tabulated in Table 1, as well as the projected excess capacity. Total well capacity is based
on 500 gpm capacity each from the Boulder Bridge wells, and 450 gpm for the Badger Field
well. Firm well capacity is calculated with one of the Boulder Bridge wells out of service.
Based on the projections tabulated in Table 5, it appears that Shorewood will have
approximately 500 gpm of excess total well capacity in the Boulder Bridge/Badger Field
combined system over the next 10 years. Excess firm well capacity will drop below 500 gpm
by the year 2002.
Please let me know if you need any further analysis of this situation.
