EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SHOREWOOD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1992
AGENDA ITEM 3A - By this motion the City Council will approve the
permanent appointment of Beverly Von Feldt as secretary receptionist
upon completion of a six month probationary period with a favorable
evaluation.
AGENDA ITEM 3B - This is a proposed contract with Debra Grahek to
perform recording secretary services for the City. The pay involved
in this agreement is less than our previous arrangement but should
be adjusted upward later should the City be very pleased with
Debra's performance.
.
AGENDA ITEM 3C - This proposed Ordinance is a follow up from the
last City Council meeting. It removes spring clean up fees from our
fee ordinance and allows such spring clean up fees to be set each
year by Council resolution.
AGENDA ITEM 3D - This resolution establishes spring clean up fees
which were found acceptable by the Council at their last meeting.
AGENDA ITEM 3E - This Ordinance corrects a misprint from the City
Attorney's office in producing our recent liquor Ordinance. It
returns the Sunday opening hours to what it had been in 1991, and to
what was intended to be in the most recent Ordinance.
.
AGENDA ITEM 3F - Some concern has been voiced for the variable
timing of City Council paychecks resulting from tying them to the
first payroll of each month. The enclosed policy would establish
Council payday as the first working day of the month. This is
completely at the discretion of the city Council. Any change should
be at the direction of the city Council, i.e. passage of a motion
adopting the new policy.
AGENDA ITEM 4 - The City Council will be discussing the appointment
of a City Attorney due to David Sellergren's change in firms.
Letters from Mr. Sellergren and Tim Keane from Larkin Hoffman are
enclosed in the packet for your consideration. In addition the
packet includes proposals for banking services from First State Bank
(our current institution) and Norwest Bank. Finance Director Al
Rolek has prepared a cover memorandum and analysis of the proposals
for your review. Copies of the proposals are enclosed separately.
Once the Council has made determinations on the city Attorney
appointment and banking institution, a "fill in the blank"
resolution is enclosed for Council action.
The work session with the Planning Commission and Park Commission
has been set at 7:30 PM. Should the regular meeting be done before
that time we will need to take a break so that we can set up tables
in a large rectangle for the work session.
NOTE. . . the memo from the Planner is included separately, rather than
in the packet, for your convenience.

the park correctly and proceeding step-by-step, but he wanted the
funds to be locked in place before we spend $ 50,000 on grading

RE:
Appraisal/Evaluation - Beverly VonFeldt
Secretary/Receptionist
.
On Thursday, March 5th a six month appraisal/ evaluation was
conducted with the secretary/receptionist Beverly VonFeldt.
The Performance Evaluation, General Employee Expectations (I) was
the tool used to achieve an overall numerical rating (attached).
We identified and agreed on strengths anq,,' areas which needs
improvements.
We developed a specific plan of action for improvement and this
will involve more training in general government (the beginning to
a cross-utilization program), will begin a system on time
management. These will be reviewed during the next appraisal
period. ' .
Evaluation Form (II) - Specific Duties and Requirements. In this
section, Beverly, meets the expectations as outlined in the duties.
We, however, agreed that a more careful plan of action be directed
in the preparation of City Council meeting packets. I have started
training and will monitor the process.
Beverly has shown interest and pride in her work, is pleasant with
the general public and fellow employees. I, therefore, recommend
permanent appointment of Secretary /Receptionist to Beverly
VonFeldt. Further, that she be moved to the next step in salary
zone, retroactive to_~arch 3, 1992.

RE:
There has been some confusion on the timing of the monthly payroll.
Monthly checks have most recently been incorporated with the first
biweekly payroll which can vary from the first to the fourteenth of
the month. To prevent confusion a standardized payroll policy
could-be adopted:
_ -A POLICY ON CITY COUNCIL PAYROLL CHECKS
.
Whereas, City employee payroll is completed biweekly (normally
26 times annually) and city council payroll-is done on a monthly
basis (12 times annually), it shall be.the policy of the City of

Dear Mayor Brancel and Members of the City Council:
Last Friday I advised City Administrator Jim Hurm that David
Sellergren has announced that he will be leaving the Larkin Hoffman
law firm effective Friday, March 13, 1992. This letter is to assure
~ou that Larkin Hoffman will continue to provide the highest quality,
~ost-effective legal services the City has come to expect.
As presented in the earlier proposal for legal services and throughout
the interview process with the City of Shorewood, Larkin Hoffman
practices a team approach to the delivery of legal services. Subject
to your approval, overall responsibility for the delivery of legal
services will be assigned to me. Backing me up will be Thomas
Humphrey. Tom served as full-time Minnetonka City Attorney and an
assistant county attorney in Anoka County for ten years prior to
joining Larkin Hoffman in 1983. Tom is currently representing the
City of Shorewood in the Johnson v. City of Shorewood litigation.
I have maintained frequent contact with City staff, attended City
Council meetings and worked with Dave on the major issues before the
city over the last six months. In those few areas where I will need
to be brought up to speed, there will be no charge for the extra time
and services associated with the transition.

All other aspects of the proposal for legal services and the Agreement
for Legal Services between the City of Shorewood and Larkin Hoffman
shall remain in effect. It is our intent to ensure continuity and the
highest level of quality in providing legal services to the City of
Shorewood.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss our services, please do
not hesitate to contact me at 896-3203.

Dear Mayor Brancel and Members of the City Council:
This letter is to follow-up my letter of March 9, 1992, relating to
the provision of legal services by Larkin, HOffman, Daly & Lindgren,
Ltd., to the City of Shorewood. I did discuss the following matters
4IJth City Administrator Jim Hurm this last week.
Transition.
Jim has advised me that the City has previously compensated Larkin
Hoffman for services provided by Dave Sellergren in getting up to
speed on public financing relating to Tax Increment Financing
Districts and other projects. This letter is to assure you that any
additional work related to my getting up to speed as a result of
Dave's departure on these or any other projects will not be billed to
the City of Shorewood. Any transition services are my responsibility
and will not be an additional expense to the City.
Rates.
The rates set forth in the original proposal for legal services and
the Agreement for Services will continue to apply for the City of
Shorewood. In my case, my municipal billing rate is $90 an hour
compared to Mr. Sellergren's municipal rate of $100 an hour. I
suggest that we execute an amendment to the Agreement for Services
setting forth the new responsible attorney.

Availability.
I have assured Jim and other staff of my continuing availability to
provide services and accessibility to respond promptly to day-to-day
inquiries and issues of immediate concern. I believe the experience
of City staff working with me on various issues over the last six
months has demonstrated my accessibility. As we proceed ahead, I can
assure you of my availability to respond to the City'S needs in a
timely fashion.
Major Onqoinq Matters.
Larkin Hoffman is presently representing the City in the Johnson v. 4It
City of Shorewood litigation. This dispute is the result of a
plaintiff's claim of denial of property rights arising out of a
proposed plat. We presently are in the process of discovery and
Hennepin County District Court Judge Ann Montgomery has issued an
order setting a trial date for October 15, 1992. We are quite
involved in this case and moving aggressively to" bring about an
expeditious resolution. Additionally, we are in the process of
initiating quick take proceedings in eminent domain to acquire the
necessary property to ensure the construction of'Church Road early
this construction season. We are working closely"'~ith the City
Engineer and City staff in expediting the acquisition to facilitate
construction of this project.
Again, it is our intent to ensure continuity and the highest level of ~
quality in providing legal services to the City of Shorewood. If you ..,
have any questions or wish to discuss our services, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 896-3203. I am available to meet with the
City Council at your convenience.
Sincerely,

MEMO
TO:
FROM:
MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
. AL ROLE0~
MARCH 18, 1992
.
DATE:
RE:
PROPOSALS FOR BANKING SERVICES FOR THE CITY
Staff prepared a Request for Proposals for Banking Services and
delivered the RFP to First State Bank of Excelsior, Norwest Bank
Excelsior and Twin City Federal Savings Bank in Excelsior on
March 2. The RFP requested that the bi:mks submit information
relative to independence, conflicts of interest, financial
condition, services available, and fees and service charges. A
deadline of March 13 was set for receiving.banking proposals.
We received proposals from First State Bank and Norwest Bank; Twin
City Federal did not submit a proposal. Copies of the proposals
accompany this memo.
.
An analysis/comparison of the proposals was prepared and is
attached. The analysis shows that the banks match up fairly evenly
in financial statistics, with the exception of size. Financial
ratios are comparable, and both institutions are profitable. Both
banks offer the services which the city is using at the present
time. Other services were included in the RFP which the City does
not use at this time, but may consider in the future. Of these
additional services, Norwest offers many which First State Bank
does not offer at this time.
The largest difference in the proposals is in the area of fees.
The city presently has no service charges on its accounts, with
fees charged only on extra banking services, ie. wire transfers,
returned checks. Both banks propose to charge fees on the city's
accounts and on other banking services. While many fees are
comparable, others vary widely. A sample monthly service charges
statement was prepared which shows that service charges would be
somewhat higher at First State Bank. Interest earnings, or
earnings credits in lieu of interest, on the City's account balance
would be applied toward these service charges at both banks.

MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
BANKING SERVICES PROPOSALS
MARCH 18, 1992
PAGE TWO
In addition, Norwest offers a safe deposit box, normally charged at
$140 annually, to the City at no charge; the annual safe deposit
box fee at First State Bank would be $125.
From a strictly financial standpoint, the City could save $500 -
$700 per year on banking services with the Norwest proposal.
However, some of this savings would be lost by changing to Norwest
through the cost of new checks, stamps, etc. There may be other
factors to consider in the decision which are less tangible than
the financial aspect. These would include customer service .
concerns; local bank versus a large institution; community services
and support; and other such factors. These intangible factors, in
addition to financial considerations, should be considered in
choosing a provider for banking services.
The City has done business with both institutions over the last two
years. Working relationships between the institutions and City
staff have been good, with very few problems arising. The City
staff anticipates no problems working with either institution in
the future.
It is recommended that the City Council designate an institution as
it's depository with the intention of maintaining its relationship
with the institution for an extended period of time, perhaps five
years or more. There appears to be little advantage to changing
banking services every year or two. This would also allow the City .
to maintain a good working relationship with the institution, and
to minimize the expenditure of administrative staff time and the
financial burden of printing new checks, stamps, supplies, etc.
I hope that this information aids the Council in selecting a
banking institution. If you have any questions regarding either of
these, please feel free to call me.

RE:
Comprehensive Plan Update - Goals and Objectives
FILE NO.:
405 (Comp Plan - Policy Plan)
.
The joint meeting of the Planning Commission, Park Commission and City Council on
Monday, 23 March has been scheduled to discuss the goals and objectives section of the
Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. Since the City's goals and objectives are the foundation
from which more detailed policies and plans are developed, the importance of this section of
the Plan can not be overemphasized.
KEEP - ADD - MODIFY - DELETE
As was d9ne with the "Issues" section of the 80's Comprehensive Plan, we are forwarding
the sections which contain goals and objectives from the 80's Plan. These sections,
attached - copied in yellow, will be used as a basis for discussion at the joint meeting.
Please take the time to review the materials thoroughly. We propose to go through each
statement one by one in hope of achieving concensus as to what ends up in the Plan Update.
Please note that the introduction also discusses policies. As mentioned in previous meetings,
policies for various elements will be discussed separately at future meetings.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, please contact me prior to Monday night's
meeting.

Introduction
.
The intent or the Policy Plan portion of a comprehensive planning process
is to outline in written Form what theicommunity desires to be produced or
accomplished relative to the physical environment. Secondly, the Policy
Plan is intended to set forth guidelines as to how these desires are to be
achieved. Proceeding in a logical fashion this chapter identifies general
goals and supporting categorical obj~ctives and policies. These elements
comprise a review and decision-maki,ng process and the basis upon which
plans, programs and actions can be formulated and initiated.
It is emphasized that these goals, objectives and policies are the basic and
fundamental plan for the development or Shorewood. In this regard, their
purpose is to provide a decision-maklng framework to guide all public and
private actions and development within the City. In addition to the active
function of guiding response and action, the goals, objectives and policies
also serve the more passive function of establishing eval uation criteria for
the development and change wh ich subsequently occurs.
.
The Policy Plan should not, however, be interpreted as en implementation pro-
gramming of actions and responses. No time framework or priority or ection is
intended or stated. The Pol icy Plan 'is a guide whi ch di reets action on the part
of the public and private sectors of the community when responding to needs,
problems and opportunities. The fun~tion of work and issue programming is
addressed partially by the Management and Implementation Framework, plus
on an annual basis through legislative and administrative policy and programs.
In utilizing. this element of the plan,' it must be cautioned that the policies
are to be considered end utilized col'lectively. While in some instances a
single pol icy may define and outline 'a co'urse of action or decision. It is
more commonly the case, however, that several policies apply to a given
situation. Reactions to individual policies should therefore be tempered
pending consideration of ell applicable statements.
Additional note should be made that :Policy Plans are utilized as the basis For
graphic plans and decision-making dve to their Flexibility and adaptability.
Lacking a "hard line" delineation, policies can be applied and used as the
basis fordecision-:f1'taking in unanticipated situations which emerge. Such is
not the case with a map plan in that lit is static and fixed. There will,
however, be instances where the policies do not reFlect what may be a
change in policy direction or respond suFficiently to questions which arise.
In such c=~es, the Policy Plan should be ujJdcted and amended by modifying

.
the policy statements to reflect what is in fact the new direction which is
wanted or by adding new policy statements which deal with new, unantici-
pated issues. Operating in such a fashion, the Comprehensive Plan will
retain a current and effective status and wi II not become outdated.
The basis which was utilized for establishing the Policy Plan for the City of
Shorewood should be thoroughly understood. The primary contributing elements
leading to the formulation of the Policy Plan were the Tactical Study (Novembe-r,
1977) and the Planning Inventory (December, 1977). The findings of these
studies were summarized in the preceeding chapter. Another element utilized
in the policy development process was the City of Shorewood's 1971 Compre-
hensive Plan. Furthermore, the Pol icy Plan is indeed founded upon a professional
review and analysis of the assets and liabilities of the City as related to general
planning and development principles. However, these principles and resulting
policy recommendations have been subjected to 6 months of extensive .
community review and comment. The Policy Plan therefore truly reflects
c local community plan which constitutes the fifth element of its assembly.
To ensure a proper understanding and clarification, the terms utilized are
defined as follows:
Goals:
The generalized end products which are to be achieved
and towards which all actions should contribute.
.
Objectives:
Categorical effects, functio'ns, states or accomplishments
which are to be achieved.
Policy Guidelines:
Actions, principles, standards, and directives which
serve as means whereby the goals and objectives are
to be realized ~

Community
Goals
The basic purpose of planning and development/redevelopment and. the
existence of government itself is the improvement and maintenance of
the community for creating an orderly, safe, productive, and enhanced
living and working environment for the individual. This purpose may be
subdivided into community goals. Goals are the generalized end products
to be achieved and intended as overall guidelines towards which a community
should strive. The following statements identify the goals which the City of
Shorewood is to accomplish and tow9rds which all actions and decisions
should contribute.
1.
Maintain desirable community character and economic health by
ensuring that development which takes place in Shorewood is of
premium quality and blends well with the natural and suburban
atmosphere of the community.
.
Explanation: In developing its Comprehensive Plan and related
content, Shorewood should pay special att.ention to a variety of
. development types and relationships, and base its plans for supportive
systems and servi ces upon those uses wh i ch:attai n opti mal I and use
and harmony. The ordinance controls should: reflect and enforce the
characteristics of development as specified in the Plan.
2.
Provide a full range of equal opportunity, choice, and assessibility
to services for each individual in Sliorewood. .
Explanation: While it is the individual who retains responsibility
for improving and maintaining the quality of his personal life, it is
government1s responsibil ity to provide him with an atmosphere of
opportunity that allows him to do so. The community of Shorewood
has the responsibility to provide On equal opportunity to its citizens
for the .utilization of community facilities, transportation, protection
agencies and elements, basic life-sustaining functions and services,
adequate shel ter, and employment opportunities. Obvious problems
arise in providing for individual rights which appear to be in direct
conflict with the rights of the majority of citizens in the community,
or vice versa. When these 'problems occur, it is also the responsibility
of the com~~nity of Shorewood to weigh the relative merits of each
party, and make decisions based upon the costs and benefits to each
party. The provision of equal opportunity rights does not always

include the provision of a wide variety of choices. However, on
atmosphere conducive to diversity often has the effect of augmenting
the attempt to provide equal opportunity by in effect giving the
community more tools and options with which to work. Choice and
diversity in terms of housing, public facilities, semipublic facilities,
transportation, and culture can become important factors in making
Shorewood an attractive, personal and rewarding place in which to
live.
Establish and maintain a strong community and intercommunity sense
of identity.
Explanation: Shorewood has had problems establishing a strong sense of
community identity due to the historically dominant role Excelsior has
played in the area, irregular boundaries, and its geographic configura-
tion. There is a need to establish a strong sense of community identity
instead of on an isolated, neighborhood basis. In attempting to balance
benefits to individual neighborhoods CIS opposed to benefits to the entire
community, the public interest of the overall community should take priority.
Due to geographic scale, similarity and the need for inter-local
cooperation existing between Shorewood and its south Lake Minnetonka
neighbors, a strong sense of lake community identity is also important.
Shorewood: should view itself as a cooperative element of a ICIrger area
unit. An identity of this type is hi.ghly important because relationships
do not end at municipal borders. Shorewood1s community identity and
area identitY con and should coexist and reinforce one another.
Insure that Shorewood IS natural envi ronmentol amenities and natural
systems are protected and preserved.
Explanation: Because 01/ physical support for life is derived from the
environment, the protection of, cooperation with, and respect for.
natural systems and their components is of vital interest to all. Actions
token by man which disrupt the operations inherent to natural systems
often result in negative compli cations that overshadow the usefulness
of the end product. Planning and design for 0/1 urban activities in
Shorewood should occur in cooperation with natural features and
systems. Activities and developments which impose themselves upon
the lal'Jdscape without regard or consideration for natural characteristics
should not be tolerated in Shorewood. Natural amenities areas should
be protected and preserved for their intrinsic worth and their value in
terms of the physical and psychological well being of individuals
living in the community.
Goals and Objectives

.
.
.
Facilitate and improve intergovernmental communication and
cooperation between the layers of local, regional, state and
federal governmental bodies.
Explanation: Many levels of government have jurisdiction over
people, land and lake usage in Shorewood. The complication
that exists due to the large number of organizations and agencies
involved makes communication and consensus between governmental
units difficult. Shorewood should explore ways to increase the
quality of communication among its own local governmental
neighbors, regional bodies, special districts and the state agencies
and legislature. Progress in this area could facilitate local coopera-
tion, help eliminate duplications of effort and increase Shorewood's
abi I ity to effectively serve its citizens. Furthermore, a primary
concern should be to insure a full range of benefits and protection of
the Shorewood resident in the decisions whi~h are made by juris-
dictions other than the City which govern or affect the community.

Goals and Objectives
Excerpt from Policy Plan/Development Framework,
dated September 1981
Environmental
Objectives
.
The natural environmental character and facilities of the Shorewood community
are of prime importance to its citizens. The aesthetic amenity provided is one
consideration in the qual ity of the area. The natural features, however, also
create restrictions and tend to compl i cate development, access and services.
Conversely, development can have a severe and detrimental impact on the
natural environment. As a consequence of the important role played by the
nature I environment, as well as the high value assigned these features by the
Shorewood residents, it is therefore necessary to establish guidelines to ensure
preservation and protection of the natural environment.
1 . Development which occurs is to be compatible with features of the
nature I environment and preserve environmental features and natural
amenities.
2. The natural and aesthetic quality of Shorewood's lakeshore is to be
maintained and where feasible improved.
3.
Creative development design to insure the protection and enhancement
of those portions of the community containing unique physicol features is
to be encouraged.
.
4. Forested areas and nature I wildl ife habitats are to be provided protection
to insure against loss.
5. The environmental balance between natural and man-made physical
features is to be maintained through proper land use development pol icy.
6. Shorewood's natural vegetation is to be preserved and protected against
disease and destruction and replaced when necessary.
7. All environmentally sensitive areas are to be' protected.
8. Preservation of ecological systems ~ with respect to the lake or the lake
areas be i ng the pri mary natura I resource to the area - are to be conserved
and protected for future generations.
.
Goals and Objectives

Land
Use
Objectives
land use and land use patterns act to create and shape the qual ity, character
and intensity of activity and generate related service and tronsportation demonds
of a community. land use therefore is the key element in a comprehensive
physical plan. The emphasis and attention to this aspect of community develop-
ment cannot be overstated. Within the context of the overall Shorewood community
goals, guidel ines must be establ ished which improve land use development and work
to correct existing land use problems. New development must be of the highest
quality responding to the community and individual citizens' needs. With regard
to existing problems, it is evident that the correction will not be rapid or dramatic.
Change will, however, occur and it is important that each change work towards
improvement of the community. Within this context, the following objectives
therefore serve as a reference and guide for the resulting planning and decision-
making.
1 . A cohesive land use pattern wh ich ensures compatibil ity and functional
relationships among activities is to be forml.!lated and implemented.
2. Community planning and development is to consider the surrounding neighborhocds.
.
land use allocations are to be balanced with .economic market demands.
land which is available is to be developed with proper consideration for
such demands.
4. Overintensification of land use development, in other wo~s, development
which is not accompanied by a sufficient level of supportive services and
facilities (utilities, parking, access, etc.) is to be prevented.
3.
5. land on a community as well as subunit basis is to be properly uti! ized
and conserved. ...
(':J .
6. land uses and environmental qual ity@\o be maintained and where necessary
upgraded.
7. Property val ues are to be preserved and protected.
8. Communityoevelopment is to be compatible with features of the natural
environment and is to be accommodated without destroying environmental
features and natural amenities.
.
Goals and Objectives
Excerpt from Policy Plan/Development Framework,
27 dated September 1981
9. Individual neighborhoods are to be maintained and where necessary 1
strengthened in character.
.
10.
A creative approach (as opposed to "traditional" subdivision design)
to the use of land and related residential development is to be encouraged.
11. Safe, convenient, attractive, and accessible commercial development
is to be available for city residents.
12. Balanced commercial activity which is viable and responsive to the
needs of the community and surrounding market area is to be main-
tained.
13. A sound tax base for the City is to be pursued.
14. Development on both a city-wide and project basis which facilitates
energy resource conservation, yet maintains compatibil ity and relationships
of uses is to be planned and encouraged.
15. Community identity is to be improved and reinforced.

.
Transportation
Objectives
Transportation is a service element of the physical urban system w~ich provides
access from one land use activity to others. The need for transportation service
has been generated by a separation of activities which are necessary for funda-
mental personal living requirements. From a total perspective it is, therefore,
advantageous to reduce the need for transportation by combining or consol idating
activities. However, in those instances where transportation is required, access
should be provided in a rapid, safe, economical, direct, convenient and environ-
mentally sound fashion. In addition, access should be approached from a compre-
hensive perspective giving full consideration to all options and elements of the
system of modes, travelways, and storage. It is unrealistic, however, to expect
that all travel modes can be simultaneously developed as needed or indeed as
desired. The City of Shorewood simply does not have the economic resources
nor sufficient jurisdiction to achieve a totally improved system. Priorities and
programming as a consequence are mandatory in order to gain as much as can be
accomplished. In this regard, the following objectives reflect the results to be
produced within the community.
1.
The need for transportation facilities is to be reduced by combining or
concentrating various land use activities wh~r: and where feasible.
.
2.
Rapid, safe, economical, direct, convenient and environmentally
sound transportation is to be provided. .
3. A comprehensive system and approach to transportation, giving due
attention to all modes and related facilities is to be uti! ized.
4. Priorities to various travel routes, modes, and programs are to be assigned and
a corresponding action and development effort is to be formulated and
implemented.

Community
Objectives
Facilities / Services
An often neglected or underestimated component of city planning end develop-
ment is the role and importance of community facil ities and services. The
term, .. community Facilities and services" is all encompassing and denotes those
lands, buildings, services and systems which are provided on a public or semi-
public basis. These facilities are offered, based upon a public interest or benefit,
as a necessity for sustaining life in an urban area, as a social concern and/or
as a function demanded by the urban environment and lifestyle. All elements of
community facilities and services, therefore, are major factors in determining
the quality and safety of urban living. The following objectives outline standards
for community facilities end services in Shorewood.
1. Existing services are to be maintained and improved where needed.
2. New community facil ities and services are to be developed to meet the
needs and interests of the Shorewood community.
3. Public facilities and services are to be planned and provided in a compre-
hensive coordinated and economic fashion.
.
4.
Full utilization of existing facilities and servi~e is to be accomplished
prior to additional investment.
5. Facilities and service on a joint....Jse basis between units of government is
to be promoted and increased.
6. Each individual in the community is to be assured safe, equitable and easy
access to publi c faci I ities and servi ce.
7. Shorewood residents are to continue to have safe, reliable energy services
to meet their needs.
8. Energy service conservation is to be constantly promoted end facilitated.
