Watten, City Attorney Froberg, City Planner Nielsen, City
Engineer Norton.
7:20 P.M. - REVIEW FOR COUNCIL
A. Election Problems
Sandy Kennelly told the City Council that there may be
problems with the election machines if citizens use
stickers on the ballots. The company which manufactures
the voting machines has told the City that, if a sticker is
adhered to the ballot, it will render the machine
inoperable. The machine may not be able to be repaired
and it will not be under warranty.
The City will not be using the machines during the day.
The election officials will duplicate any ballots that
have stickers attached.
The State has informed the election officials that they
cannot tell citizens not to use the stickers, as this
might imply they cannot vote for that candidate. Kennelly
said the City will have to add extra people to assist with
the counting.
If one of the gubernatorial candidates steps aside, there
will be a separate ballot.
Haugen asked if the ballots with stickers would be invalid.
Kennelly said a citizens may write in any candidate or use
stickers but the stickers will not work in the machines.
The ballot will be valid either way.
The arrows on the ballots must be connected to be counted.
The Governor and Lt. Governors names must both be written
on the ballot.
Kennelly informed the Council that there will be a separate
ballot for judges.
Gagne asked what would happen if there was a recount.
Kennelly said there were being informed of new rules daily.
Haugen said the citizens have to connect the arrows for the
ballots to be scanned correctly;
Stover asked if the judges can tell the citizens to do this.
Kennelly said they can.
Watten asked if the City pays for the elections. Kennelly
said yes.

B. Recycling Contract Update.
Kennelly said she has been gathering information and
attending meetings on joint recycling contracts for
the lake area. An RFP is being written. There have been
discussions with 5 to 6 different companies. It looks like
there will be one contract for rural areas and one for
cities around Lake Minnetonka.
Stover asked if the current company could handle the job.
Kennelly said they could and are being considered.
Gagne expressed his appreciation to the residents who
recycle.
The Council had no other concerns about the joint RFP for
the 1991 recycling contract.

1. Manor Warming House
Whittaker said the Park Commission recommended the City
Council rent a temporary warming house for Manor Park with
floor covering at a cost not to exceed $1000. He said there
is a one year C.U.P for a temporary warming house which must
be revised or extended.
Planner Nielsen said the Council could do one of two things:

CO~IL CHA~ERS
5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD
PAGE 4
a. Grant another C.U.P. with or without a time limit or
b. Amend the Ordinance to allow temporary buildings for
parks.
Stover asked why permanent buildings have not been
installed? Nielsen said that funds are not available at
the present time but it is in a long range plan.
Gagne said he visited the warming house at Manor Park last
year and one neighbor said not to spend the money on a
permanent building. He said the City should use a temporary
building until the results of the referendum are known.
Nielsen said the Planning Commission would have to hold a
Public Hearing for a C.U.P.. Nov. 20. 1990.
In discussion. the Council agreed to have the Planning
Commission hold a public hearing on a one-year C.U.P.
for a temporary warming house in Manor Park.
Gagne moved, Brancel seconded, to purchase a phone for the Manor
Park warming house.
Motion carried - 5/0.
2. TRAIL PLAN
Whittaker said the Park Commission recommends the Council
accept the Park Planner Koegler's proposal to develop an
overall City Trail Plan at a cost of $3500.
Gagne felt the residents should be informed of the trail
plan.
Stover moved. Watten seconded. to authorize $3500 to Park
Planner Koegler to complete the City Trail Plan.
Motion carried - 5/0
Watten said there had been some discussion. at one time, of
having a graphic showing the trails in Shorewood and
displaying it in the Council Chambers.
Haugen said it had been discussed but funds have not been
appropriated for this. She asked the Administrator to find
out what it would cost.
3. PARK PLANNER FOR REFERENDUM
Haugen wondered if a referendum would be appropriate with
the economic downturn many people are foreseeing.
Gagne said there are many questions he wants the citizens
to answer for the Council and a referendum is one way to do
it.
Stover said the conditions aren't optimum but the City can't
wait until the conditions are exactly right. nor anticipate
when they will be.
Park Planner Koegler agreed and outlined the referendum
process.

Koegler said the City should start the promotion of the
Parks in November. The effort should be grass roots
starting with neighborhood meetings. He requested the
Council fund the start-up work. One immediate need is to
obtain color slides of all the parks.
Stover asked him if he was still thinking of April as a
date for the referendum?
Koegler said he was thinking of April and the Park
Commission is very enthusiastic. However. a dollar amount
for the referendum has not been established.
Gagne asked if the start-up funds could come from Park
Dedication Fees?
Whittaker said Contingency Funds can be used. The Park
Dedication Fees are usually reserved for Capital
Improvements and there is no reserve there now.
Haugen said the Contingency Funds are usually set aside for
emergencies.
Gagne moved. Watten seconded. to authorize up to $7500 for the
Park Planner to oversee the planning and preparations for the
Park Referendum and to refund the funds from Park Dedication
Fees when available.
Motion carried - 5/0.
4. BADGER FIELD SHELTER
Haugen said the current building at Badger Field was built
by Park Commission volunteers and the Public Works Dept.
It is a modular building on a concrete slab and the building
is absorbing water.
There are two options for repairing the building.
a. Regrade the parking lot. so that it slopes away from the
building. The cost would be about $17,600.
b. Install a masonry curb to divert the water. The cost
would be $12,225.
Gagne asked about the value of the building. Watten said it
was originally built for about $30 - $40,000.
Whittaker said the Council could appropriate funds from the
Capital Reserve.
Stover asked how long it would take to make the repairs.
Engineer Norton said it could be done this Fall.
Stover moved. Brancel seconded. to authorize the City Engineers
to have the repairs made to the Badger Field Shelter. at a cost
not to exceed $12.225 subject to inspection of the slab to insure
it can accept the additional masonry for the concrete curb.
Motion carried - 5/0.
Haugen said that Sue Niccum had researched flooring for park
warming houses. She recommended a flooring that the Cities
of Hopkins and St Louis Park have used in their skating
shelters for 10 years.

Gagne moved. Stover seconded. to approve funds for flooring the
Badger Park Warming house at a cost of approximately $3.000.
Motion carried - 5/0.
5. UTILITY BUILDING
Koegler explained to the Council that the above ground pumps
at Freeman Park would require a 6x8 ft. utility building to
protect them from vandalism.
He said the building should be attractive because it will be
a backdrop for the fountain and could later be incorporated
into the permanent building.
Whittaker also said the open pumps are an invitation for
vandalism. A fence was proposed in the original plan. to
save money and because a permanent shelter for skating and
concession was planned for construction later.
Haugen asked if there was a covering available for the pump
or if a prefabricated building would work. Koegler said
there was no cover available and a prefabricated building
would not be strong enough.
Koegler said the building would cost $1000-$1200 and the
Public Works Dept. would install it.
Watten asked if a wooden structure would work. Koegler said
it would if it was built well. Watten said that wooden
buildings are easily vandalized. He said it has been his
experience that a masonry structure would last longer and
prevent vandalism even though it would cost more than a
wooden one.
Watten moved. Gagne seconded. to install a 6x8 ft. masonry
building at Freeman Park at a cost not to exceed $2000.
Motion carried - 5/0.
Gagne wondered when the next City Council meeting would occur.
Whittaker said the meeting on Oct. 29. 1990 should be cancelled
because the City Engineer cannot be present. The topics to be
discussed will be Special Taxing District boundaries and the
proposed water treatment plant for the S.E. Area. Both discussions
will be more useful if the Engineer is present.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE VACATION OF A
PORTION OF A PUBLIC STREET (SUMMIT AVENUE)
RESOLUTION NO. 119-90
Mayor Haugen called the Public Hearing to order at 8:45 P.M.
Mr. Larry Schmidt requested the City vacate 15 feet along Summit Ave.
Mr. Ted Rix. a neighbor of Mr. Schmidt. stated he was in favor of the
vacation.
Haugen called three times for any further input from the audience and
then closed the Public Hearing at 8:47 P.M. Nielsen and Norton had
looked at the street and recommended the City maintain enough easement
for utilities.

Bob Rascop asked if the wetland could be restored. Haugen and Watten
said it cannot; it was filled in 1976.
HARDING ACRES SECOND ADDITION
RELEASE LETTER OF CREDIT
RESOLUTION NO. 120-90
Nielsen said the addition is done and the developer is gone. Western
Bank wants the letter of credit released. He recommends the City ask
for certain conditions before the letter is released.
1. Maintain a bond of $10,717.00
2. Obtain lien waivers from the General and Subcontractors.
3. Pay the City expenses of $3153.06
4. Pay City expenses of $169.82 for Street Signs.
Haugen asked if the curbs were installed and if anything else was
unfinished.
Norton said the Addition has rolled blacktop curbs. The Contractor
was told to restore and repair them.
Watten asked Norton if he has accepted the curbs. Norton said that,
from an Engineering standpoint, they have done a good job short of
replacing them. Blacktop curbs just are not as durable as concrete
curbs.
Gagne and Haugen asked if they should be replaced. Norton said, if
they wanted the curbs in the original condition, they should be
replaced. This would cost up to $10.900 for the whole street and this
type of curb will be easily damaged again.
Nielsen said the money is not availabl~ in the letter of credit to do
this nor does the Ordinance require it.

POLICY ON ABATEMENT OF WATER USE CHARGES
Haugen explained that the water meters on some resident's houses were
showing discrepancies between the inside and outside meters.
Whittaker said the only meters with major discrepancies were those
with stuck meters. He recommended the City policy should be to charge
for two years or to the time of purchase for these meters. and credit
the amount the resident paid in the last two years.
Haugen asked who was responsible for monitoring these meters?
Whittaker said it is Munitech's responsibility now. However. they
were not instructed to monitor them until recently. Whittakersaid
that Munitech has been instructed to check the inside meters once a
year and replace defective meters and calibrate them with the outside
reader.
Whittaker said the staff reported the problems to Munitech. The
previous computer system flagged 75% of the accounts; so it was hard
to identify the problems. The current system is more efficient and
discriminates more.
Resident from the audience. The resident said a remote reader can
still be read to determine the meter reading.. They should be
calibrated together. but the remote can be used for a reading.
BREAK - 9:20 - 9:27
Haugen said residents should have the meters read at the time of sale.
Whittaker said Munitech has been directed to do that now. Whittaker
also said that Munitech had only found three meters with large
discrepancies after reading the inside meters. The problem was not as
great as expected.
The City Council agreed the City should have a policy to abate that
part of current water bills which was added to customers' bills to
cover the difference between the inside meter readings and the outside
reader except in cases where the meter was stuck. Where the meter was
stuck, the City should bill the customers for the difference between
the amount paid over the last two years and the average use for all
water customers over a normal two-year period or back to the point
when a property changed hands if that is less than two years.
Watten moved. Gagne seconded. to accept the Administrations's
recommendations on Abatement of Water Use Charges for Discrepancies
Between Outside Readers and Inside Meters and For Stuck Meters.
Motion carried - 5/0 on a roll call vote.

A. Watershed District Report
Haugen and Norton met with the officials of the Minnehaha
Creek Watershed District. They asked if Pond 2 could be
shallower to allow for a larger pond, less excavation and
the retention of more trees. The pipe between ponds two and
three would be enlarged from 12" to 15". The storage in
pond three would be larger.
Norton said the Watershed Dist. would walk the area and
compute the figures. Stover asked how long this would take?
Haugen said she would give them one week and then call them.
Gagne said the Council needs the meeting on October 29th to
decide on how to pay for drainage problem before having
a hearing on this project.
Stover and Haugen said the decision had already been
made to use Special Taxing Districts. Gagne and Brancel
said they thought the decision was not final.
Watten said the minutes should be examined. Whittaker said
the Council had decided taxing districts were the best way;
but there has been much discussion since then.
Haugen asked Gagne if he was changing his mind. Stover said
she has no objection to reconsidering the subject.

Whittaker said they could expedite the Glen Road
process by updating the Feasibility Report and asking for
a permit from the Watershed District. Brancel said,
otherwise, the City would be in the position of waiting
for the Watershed District to redesign the project again.
B. Setting Boundaries for Taxing District
Resident, Brian Maghan, 5670 Christopher Road
He wants something decided before the election so people
can vote appropriately. He said the taxing district amounts
to condemnation of property and this is a discriminatory
practice. He said the Glen Road drainage problem is the
responsibility of the City Council for not dealing with
the water problem. He stated that the proposed revised
project seems better. He said the Council should deal with
the hydrology issue up front as land develops.Haugen said
the Council has done so in recent years.
Maghan said the drainage problems should be funded
through Capital Funds or a City-wide tax.
Haugen said she has brought up levYing 1 mill for
drainage problems. The City is trying to figure out ways
to pay for the projects.

Stover said. if the City approves taxing City-wide for
drainage problems. those who have already paid will pay
again. Maghan said there will be inverse condemnation suits
against the City. He doesn't think it fair that he pay for
the City's negligence. The City should be able to determine
how each property benefits. The City did not require Ecoff
to build a pond.
Nielsen said the development of Christopher Road prompted
this study. The Council decided to pursue this project at
that time. If there is no drainage project. Mr. Ecoff
will be required to build a pond.
Deb Farrell - 24695 Glen Road
She is concerned that a larger pond will back-up into the
Livingston house and they would be right back where they
started. Norton said there would be a larger pipe between
pond 2 and 3; this will handle the overflow. A swale will
also be used.
Maghan asked if any cost estimates have been compiled.
He also asked for a COpy of the Feasibility Study or a
summary of the study.
Whittaker said the Study is available for inspection at
the City Hall. It should be available Nov. 9. 1990.

SHOREWOOD FINA MART - LANDSCAPING COMPLAINT
LOCATION: 24365 SMITHTOWN ROAD
COMPLAINT: RICHARD MORE
Jim Heiland addressed the Council concerning the landscaping of the
Fina Mart on HwY 19 and Country Club Rd.
Mr. Heiland said the tree that was planted in the northeast corner of
the Fina lot is obstructing the view of Tonka Motors. He thought the
trees would only be two feet high and said that visibility is
important to his business.
Nielsen's report stated that the landscaping design was on the
original site plan and Fina is completing the requirements.
Gagne said that auto dealers are now required to berm their sites; he
looked at the site and doesn't feel it blocks the sign.
Neilsen said it would be difficult to move the tree; much of the rest
of the site is blacktop.

Norton said the repairs to this pump have become an annual affair.
The pump starts and stops. He has looked into a variable frequency
drive. This drive regulates the pump speed based on the level of
water demand, It keeps the pump from starting and stopping every time
there is a demand. The Council has talked about connecting the water
tower to this water system, which, would also solve this problem.

Nielsen said seven people are interested in being on the
Rental Housing Code Committee. They are all landlords.
Nielsen wanted to know how the City should be represented.
Brancel said the landlords felt the Code was too stringent.
She asked what they would come up with. Nielsen said they
want nothing. Brancel and Gagne said they will have a Code.
Nielsen said he thought the Code was adequate.
Brancel said the landlords can comment on the Code and
make recommendation for change but she does not want to
start over with a new Code.
Nielsen said the fees could be reduced as inspections are
only required every 3 years. He felt the City should cover
their expenses for enforcement of the Code.
Nielsen asked if a Councilmember or Planning Commission
member wanted to be on the committee.
Haugen said Gagne and Brancel had the experience to do this.

Gagne and Brancel to the Rental Housing Code Committee.

not need to be amended.

blacktop would be in this season. But, the developer cannot,
now, do it this year. The Staff has agreed to give the
developer notice by registered mail and if the job
is not completed the City will do it. It should be done by
June of 1991.

has never been plowed by the City and should not be until
the improvements have been accepted by the City.

1. Quotes for Underground Tank Removal
Whittaker said the City has three quotes for the under-
ground tank removal. They do not include the cost to clean
up the soil. Zdrazil recommends using Westside, the low
bidder.
Stover asked if there are any further tests to determine if
the tanks are leaking. What will happen if the City can
prove the contamination was not caused by the City. Haugen
said the City will know if the soil is contaminated when the
tanks are removed.
Whittaker said an independent consultant will observe the
tank removal and determine where the soil contamination
originated
Brancel moved. Gagne seconded, to accept the proposal from
Wests ide
Equipment for $2950 for the removal of two underground tanks.
Motion carried - 5/0.

Gagne said the Senior Housing Task Force met and four people
attended: Bob Reutiman. Bill Maddy. Bill Nilsen. Bob
Gardner. as well as Judith Marshik Consultant. Gagne felt
they should have more people involved. The next meeting is
Nov. 14th during the day. He said the Council may not want
to appoint anyone yet. Haugen said they should appoint the
people who attended. Watten said he would like to be
involved.
Gagne moved. Brancel seconded. to appoint Bob Reutiman. Bill
Maddy. Bill Nilsen and Bob Gardner to the Senior Housing
Task Force.
Motion carried 5/0.
3. RFP/Alternatives for Recycling in 1991
Already discussed.
4. Park Dedication Fees in S. E. Area and Silverwood Park Exp.
Whittaker said Finance Director Rolek had summarized
Park Dedication Fees and Silverwood Park Expenses for the
Council.
Whittaker recommended the Council send this report to the
Park Commission and ask for their recommendations on the
use of Park Dedication fees. The Council agreed.
5. Acquisition of Bishop Property
Whittaker recommended the City stop efforts to purchase
the Bishop property.
Haugen asked what the City paid for the back 1/2 of the
Cross property. Froberg said $150.000 for 5 1/2 acres.
Gagne said the City has sufficient space for what the City
needs now. Haugen said she would call Mr. Bishop. thank
him, and tell him the City will not purchase the property
at this time.
6. Policy on Charges for Agendas and Minutes vs Publishing
Whittaker said too many people are asking for the agendas
and minutes. He recommends the City provide agendas free of
charge to all residents but charge non-residents $25.00 per
year for agendas and charge everyone $100.00 per year for
minutes.

7. Water Meter System
Whittaker said the City should review proposals for a new
water meter system after considering proposals from Munitech
and Excelsior for maintenance of the water and sewer systems
in December. The Council agreed.
8. Joint Use Sanitary Sewer Rental Agreement Between Shorewood
and Excelsior.
Whittaker said it is not unreasonable for Excelsior to want
payment for the Sanitary Sewer use and the rates were
reasonable.
Haugen said she has been irate for many years. She says the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission has been overcharging
the City for years. Watten asked what the growth curve was
for the City? Nielsen and Haugen said the population has
not kept pace with MWCC projections.
Haugen said the City should talk to the MWCC.
Gagne said the MWCC will ask the City how much water it
uses and this will determine the Sanitary Sewer rate.
Whittaker said it took Excelsior two years to change the
MWCC charges. He said the City should probably invest the
money to fight the rates. Norton said Shorewood can
determine their average water use and determine where excess
sewer flows originate.
Brancel moved, Watten seconded, to pay Excelsior $3703.68 for
1989 and $4,011.12 for 1990 for Sanitary Sewer use subject to an
agreement with Excelsior on the maintenance of these shared
lines, with Excelsior drafting the agreement.
Motion carried - 5/0.
Froberg said the City cannot charge residents for City Council Minutes
unless they are published in the official newspaper.
Watten moved, Stover seconded, to delete the section pertaining
to charging Shorewood residents for City Council Minutes, from the

Whittaker said that these agencies require approval of
their budgets before the City approves their own budget.
All these budgets should be subject to truth in taxation
laws. The City should ask them to amend their by-laws.
Bob Rascop. from the audience, said the City should take
this matter up with the League of Minnesota Cities.
Haugen asked Whittaker to call the League and the AMM.
Whittaker asked the Council to tell him their concerns on the
Excelsior Comprehensive Plan. The Staff thinks it is well done
and he will have a summary for the next meeting.

ROLL CALL
Present: Mayor Haugen. Councilmembers Gagne. Stover. Watten.
City Finance Director Rolek. City Engineer Norton and
City Administrator Whittaker. Councilmember Brancel
arrived at 8:00 P.M.
RECYCLING - RFP 1991
Councilmember Watten asked about the compensation received by the
recycling firms.
Mayor Haugen said the firms are currently receiving no money for paper
but have varying rates for other materials. They keep the money for
the material they sell.
Administrator Whittaker said the City is requesting proposals to see
if the City rate is competitive with that for a joint contract. The
County reimburses the City for 80% of the cost. The current cost per
household is just over $2.00 per month. The County will require the
City to pick-up additional types of material by January 1, 1991.
Councilmember Stover said a pre-set goal must be reached.
Councilmember Gagne said the City should continue to use the current
recycler. if their price is lower.
Stover asked when they would find out about the price. The proposals
are due Nov. 5. 1990 and a meeting will be scheduled to review the
proposals early in the week.
WbIDve~ka5keaidftha~ fiIDdnty requires waste haulers to be licensed.
WATER TREATMENT PLANT
RESOLUTION NO. 122-90
A. ENGINEERING
Haugen stated that when the City received the S. E. Area well it
was a Capital Improvement. The City should be responsible for it.
When the Waterford III development is built. the City will decide
where the TIF money should be spent. She said some of the money
should be used for a water treatment facility in the S.E. Area. That
way. there may not be a need to increase taxes for the facility.
Watten said the Council needs to decide whether each individual should
provide their own iron removal or whether the City should install an
iron removal at the well.
Haugen said the City cannot afford to install such systems at all
wells.
Whittaker said the TIF funds can be used anywhere in the S.E. Area of
the City.
Phil Olson. Minnesota Water Quality Association
Mr. Olson said he would like to see the figures that indicate a
central plant uses less water in its filtering than individual

systems. He said municipal systems must abide by a 10 State Standard.
The water treated at the point of use is not used for lawns and other
outside uses. But, City treated water will be used for everything.
Gagne said the first decision should be whether to install a central
plant or to continue with individual filtering. He said there were
many vocal people attending the Public Hearing.
Penny Vogel - from audience.
Ms. Vogel asked if the plant would have the capacity to filter water
for the entire area. She wondered about the use of water for pools.
Haugen said many pools are filled by tankers, not from City water.
Mike Pflaum - Lundgren Brothers.
Mr. Pflaum said Lundgren Bros. built 200 houses in the S. E. Area. He
has had few complaints about water quality. He asked the company's
plumber if there were complaints. He said there were a few and he had
installed in-house filters. The system was designed to last for 4 - 5
years with periodic bleeding to maintain it.
Brancel arrived at 8:00 P.M.
Mr. Pflaum said there would have been more people at the Public
Hearing if the cost per house had been identified. He said there is a
variation in housing prices in the area and some people would feel
differently about this expense.
Gary Capone
Mr. Capone has 30 years in the Water Business and is a member of the
Minnesota Water Quality Association.
He said the point-of-use should be the point of treatment; what is
treated today can change and the treatment and maintenance will also
change. Once a municipal system is installed, the City is stuck with
it. Capone said he could install an iron removal system for as little
as $200 with a cost of UP to $1000.00 for a softening system.
Stover asked if a person would have to purchase a new system every 5
years. Capone said the housing would last longer but the screen would
have to be replaced for approximately $30.00.
Whittaker asked how much the system would filter from 2 parts/million.
Capone said it would reduce iron to .03 PPM. He said a person can
rent filter systems and some automatic systems that can be more
expensive.
Watten asked about current attitudes toward receiving softened water
at the house.
Capone said it is controversial. Softened water would, then, be used
for lawn sprinkling and fires. There is also an additional sodium
content in softened water.
Stover asked, if the aquifers are changing, would additional equipment
be needed for filtering or would this be built into the original
system?
Capone said new canisters would be needed or more frequent flushing of
the system would be necessary.
Engineer Norton asked Olson and Capone if they represented the Point
of Use Industry? Olson said no.

Norton explained that the Point of Use Industry is supported by the
Water Softener Association.
Haugen asked Norton, if the aquifer would change making more plant and
equipment necessary?
Norton said is is not likely that the iron content would rise from 1.9
PPM to 5 or 6 PPM.
Noel Vogen. Associated Consultants Engineers. Inc.
Vogen also said that it would be unlikely that the iron content would
change that drastically. He also said that the 1000 GPM system would
serve the entire S. E. area.
Haugen asked if the well could also serve the Amesbury Area.
Vogen said it is not able to handle the fire demand for the entire
area.
Norton said it could supply the area most of the time; except in times
of fire or heavy summer sprinkling. If more water was needed. the
Amesbury pump would come on.
Whittaker said this would then dilute the softened water in the S. E.
area.
Watten asked if sediment builds up when the water is not moving in the
well tank.
Norton said the water is constantly moving in the tank but there will
be some build-up.
Vogen said a film develops when the water comes in contact with air.
Olson asked if there is iron bacteria in the lines. Norton said no.
Hank Christenson - from audience.
Mr. Christenson said he has not come to previous meeting on this
issue. However, he feels the residents need an answer. The Council
is going nowhere on this topic.
Haugen said the Council would like to collect as much information as
possible on the subject.
Penny Vogel
Ms. Vogel asked who did the feasibility report? Haugen said
Associated Consultants.
Gagne said the Council has talked about this for a year. All of the
Council members have treated and softened their own wells. The S. E.
Area homes were taken off the Minnetonka water system, which has
treatment, and put on the Shorewood system. This is when the problems
started.
B. FINANCING
Stover said a municipal system would be expensive. She wants a
system that will handle the problem efficiently.
Christensen said he objects to dividing up City services among
sections of the City.
Haugen said that the treatment system is a Capital Improvement. The
TIF money can be used for Capital Improvements.

Whittaker said that 1/2 the cost of the proposed plant would be paid
for by TIF money, the other 1/2 would have to be funded by another
source. Until there is a surplus of TIF money, another source of
revenue would have to pay for the plant.
Haugen said a water rate increase was suggested by some residents.
However, Shorewood's water rate is already the highest in Hennepin
County. She said that the rates could be lowered when the TIF money
is available.
Gagne said he would not like to raise the water rate for the entire
City.
HANK CHRISTIANSON
Mr. Christianson said the City is paying $1 Million for an
intersection at Old Market Road and the water pipes in Waterford are
rotting.
Haugen said the Council is still gathering information on the project.
Stover said the Council has asked the Community, did a survey and held
a Public Hearing. She said there are conflicts in the input the
Council is receiving. She is concerned about the financial
implications. Stover wants the Council to be fair and consistent to
all citizens. She said the engineering opinions are somewhat the same
but she wants to know about possible changes in the aquifer.
Stover asked Finance Director Rolek to obtain information about iron
filtering individually vs iron filtering at the well.
Whittaker said the City has done surveys and come up with solutions.
The residents are telling the Council that it costs them from $40 to
$80 per month to filter their water. He said it is hard to imagine
that residents didn't know about the proposed water treatment plant.
At the Public Hearing, most of the people wanted a municipal system.
He does not feel that more information needs to be obtained.
Gagne said the Council has a Feasibility Report and should accept it.
He won't dispute the facts with the Engineer.
Whittaker said that if the cost of the project is not within the
prices contained in the Feasibility Study, another Public Hearing
should be held.
RESIDENT FROM THE AUDIENCE
A resident asked how long the engineering firm has been in business.
He said the firm could not estimate high and still be in business.
NEIL VOGEN OF ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS
Mr. Vogen said Associated Consultants has been in business since 1952.
Brancel said the Council should either adopt this Feasibility Report
or drop it.
MIKE PFLAUM
Mr. Pflaum asked the Council if it could be demonstrated that the
canister system can handle the problem, will they consider the system?
Vogan said this would not solve the problem in the mains.
Whittaker said this system sounds too good to be true based on all the
available information.

Christianson asked if Associated Consultants can evaluate other
systems.
PHIL OLSON
Olson said that Engineer Norton mentioned the Point of Use
organization. The Water Quality Association is also involved with the
Point of Use organization. He said the City should make an objective
decision and he would be glad to provide them with additional
information. He said that 80% of the municipal well systems don't
meet standards.
Vogen said that his firm did a full spectrum analysis and iron was the
only problem; that is not a health hazard.
Christianson said the Council should call for bids for individual
water treatment systems.
Resident asked Capone to give the Council a proposal and then the
Council can decide.
Whittaker said, in order to call for bids, the City has to draw UP
performance specifications and an have an independent firm test the
systems.
Haugen said the City has to abide by State rules. They must tell the
water treatment industry the City is taking bids for a project.
Watten asked if the City is obliged to clean UP a nuisance; it does
provide safe water. He said each individual may be able to handle
their own iron removal.
Whittaker said the City often goes beyond the bare essentials.
He said the Council should ask the Engineers who they would hire to
evaluate the project.
Norton said Vogen should have determined if a municipal system was
the best way to solve the problem.
Whittaker said Vogen was not asked to determine this. He was asked to
assess the feasibility of a municipal system.
Norton said Vogen can evaluate both systems.
Vogen said that many people at the Public Hearing talked about the
point of use system. Many of these people paid a lot of money for
their systems and still want a municipal system.
Stover said Shorewood has different water systems. She has a problem
with providing a water treatment system for one area exclusively.
Norton said this would set a precedent in the City.
Haugen asked if the Council would like to vote on the Feasibility
Study. Whittaker said the Council already had.
Brancel said the Council could ask the Finance Committee to look into
the funding of the project.
Brancel moved, Gagne seconded, that the Council find that the
Municipal Iron Removal/Water Treatment is necessary.
Whittaker said that a performance based spec. would have to be
established for the point of use organizations and that he is not sure
it can be done for a project of this size.
Brancel said the Council has told the residents they will look at a
municipal system and they should continue to do so.
Gagne said the City has 600 people on a water system and he considers
this a municipal system.
Motion carried 5/0 on a roll call vote.

Brancel moved. Gagne seconded. to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 122-90. "A
Resolution Ordering Associated Consultants Engineers to prepare plans
and specifications for the Water Treatment plant for the S. E. Area
Water system. II subject to approval of a contract setting the fee.
Motion carried - 3/2 (Stover. Watten)
Stover said she is satisfied with Orr-Schelen as City Engineers and
wants to see their cost estimate for plans and specifications. She
wanted the motion changed.
Brancel said she would not change the motion; the Council has already
decided to use Associated Consultants.
Watten said the Council used Associated Consultants based on their
cost.
Gagne said the City can reject all bids. if costs are not in line with
those projected in the feasibility report.
BREAK - 9:40-9:45
Gagne wanted to know how to finance the $40.000 for plans and specs.
Rolek said that the Water Fund cannot finance the water treatmant
plant. The City can use general funds and refund the money when the
permanent financing is established.
Watten said the City can put provisions tying the fee to reasonable
bids in the contract before the contract is awarded to Associated
Consultants.
Gagne asked if this was done with other City projects.
Whittaker said he has not done this in other cities. He said the
Council should ask City Attorney Froberg for a determination.
Whittaker said the money for the plans & specs. can come from Capital
Improvements Funds which have been set aside for tank removal and
public works
Gagne asked Vogen if he can give a time frame for the bids.
Vogen said the City can seek bids in January and take them in February
1991.
Haugen asked Whittaker if there is money for this project.
Whittaker said there is money but it is a matter of choice. The money
has been tentatively set aside for a public works building and
$200.000 for unforeseen soil treatment at the Public Works site. The
contract should be voted on at the next meeting.
A consultant will tell the City if the soil around the underground
tanks is contaminated. The results should be known by Nov. 26. 1990.
Haugen said the size and shape of the building concerns the residents
around Silverwood Park and the Park Commission.
Whittaker said the Park Commission was made aware of the size of the
building.
Ken Vogel - Park Commission
Mr. Vogel said the Park Commission feels the addition of another
building at Silverwood Park would detract from the Park.
Whittaker said he has not had this opinion from other Park
Commissioners.
Haugen said the Council will wait for the Attorney's opinion on the
contract for plans and specs. before a decision is made.
Vogen said he has not worked under such conditions elsewhere. His fee
has not been tied to the prices bid on a project.

FINANCING CAPITAL PROJECTS
Whittaker said there has been a lot of feedback since the last meeting
on financing drainage projects from the General Fund.
There have been estimates of over $2 1/2 Million in drainage projects
in the City. Capital Improvements in the Parks could cost 1 1/2 Mil.
Gagne said that. as far as he is concerned. the Park Referendum will
determine how much money will be spent on the Parks.
Whittaker also said the cost for a Public Works Building could be
$600.000. There is a street improvement fund; but it may not cover
all improvements.
The Council needs to decide which things are most essential and which
things have a more specific benefit and can be financed in alternative
ways.
The $100.000 which was set aside last year for a Public Works
Building. An additional $100.000 per year. over the next 5 years, will
be needed to complete the building.
There is $63,000 per year available within the City's levy limit.
So. there is not a lot of money left in the General Fund. If these
projects are financed out of the General Fund. many more people will
want their drainage projects done.
Stover said many developments have already paid to solve their water
problems and may not approve of a City-wide tax to finance ddrainage
improvements in other areas of the City.
FINANCING SURFACE WATER DRAINAGE PROJECTS
Haugen said she thought it was decided to use Special Taxing Districts
to finance drainage projects. She wanted to know if the Council-
members have changed their minds.
Gagne said he has not changed his mind but he is open for discussion.
Gagne said there is no problem now on Glen Road; but. there will be
when the water levels return to normal. He wants to know how the
City can prove benefit to each property.
Whittaker said it is hard to prove benefit with drainage problems.
Gagne asked what will happen when a future Council decides to finance
these projects City-wide.
Brancel asked what would happen if other problems occured in these
districts. Whittaker said the Council could order additional projects
in the same district after a 429 process.
Whittaker also said these districts can only be used to solve drainage
problems.
He said that every time the Special Taxing Districts are used. the 429
process must be followed. The tax is based on the tax capacity of the
property. There is some relation to benefit.
The law has been in existence since 1973. A person can only be ln one
Special Taxing District.
Stover said the City will ultimately be divided into many taxing
districts. She asked how the Council decides when to do a project.
Whittaker said State law provides that if you do not have 35% of the
people with frontage petitioning for a project. then you need a 4/5
vote of the Council to order the project. The current drainage
problems were not petitioned. These projects will require 4/5 vote of
the Council to order.

Whittaker said there is also a City policy for petitions; at least
51% of the property owners must petition.
Watten asked which areas of Shorewood are most susceptible to drainage
problems.
Norton said there is no specific part of town, there are many areas.
Brancel said there were draintiles in the City. but many were
destroyed when the City sewer was installed or new homes were built.
Norton said the Shorewood Oaks - Strawberry Lane area has a high water
table.
Watten said the Special Taxing Districts will segment the City. He
said the idea is not equitable. assessments for drainage should be
spread throughout the City.
Haugen said the Council must decide how to draw the boundaries of the
districts.
Gagne asked if the Council wants to be involved in every decision
concerning the Taxing Districts.
Watten said maybe the City should be divided into larger segments.
such as wards.
Stover said it is not defensible to tax an area for drainage problems
they do not contribute to.
Whittaker said the new developments have paid large amounts of money
to solve drainage problems.
Gagne can't agree with using the General Fund for drainage problems.
Haugen said if there is no change in the Council's opinions, then
there will be no change In the policy.
DEBRA FARRELL
Mrs. Farrell said these districts have already been defined as
watershed districts. The Council is defining them for tax purposes.
BOUNDARY POLICY
Whittaker said that the City of Plymouth states that every parcel
which is in the subwatershed boundary, no matter what percentage. is
in the district 100%.
Whittaker said that. in his opinion, if the majority of the covered
surface of the lot is in the district. then the property is in the
district 100%.
Brancel asked if this is done by a topographical map. Norton said it
is.
Whittaker said the Council needs to make choices. He says it needs to
be done and the boundaries are fairly obvious.
Stover said they should define either the covered surface or lot area
in the district but not both.
Brancel moved. Gagne seconded. to adopt a policy that if 50% of a lot
is in a subwatershed. then the whole property is in the Special Taxing
District.
Motion carried - 5/0
Whittaker said the Council should determine a date and time for the

Gagne asked about the Glen Road project. Norton said he has heard
nothing. Haugen said she will call the Watershed District.
Gagne said the City should leave the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District out of any further drainage projects.
Whittaker said the City should design the project and ask them for a
permit rather than asking them to design the project.
Whittaker said the proposals for boundaries will be ready on Nov.

Hills on Nov. 13th and the district for Glen Road on Nov. 26th.
Norton said the taxing district that was published identifies a larger
district than is going to be taxed. It needs to be clarified.
Haugen asked if there were any further questions.
Whittaker said the Council should reschedule the Public Hearing on the
Church Road Feasibility Study. There has been no feedback from the

1991 Funding Request to the
City of Shorewood
The West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board is requesting funding
support from the City of Shorewood for its 1991 operating budget. Our
request is for $ 1,279. at the rate of 22 cents per capita based on Metro
Council 1989 population estimate of 5,815.
We have appreciated the support of our member municipalities. It has been
essential to us in order to be able to provide direct services such as energy
assistance, emergency services, and energy conservation programs. In
addition it allows us to plan and advocate for human service needs of the
residents of our member cities and for services being provided on a
decentralized basis in local communities. We also work to bring a fairer
share of human service tax dollars back into our communities.
We realize the squeeze on local units of government and are very
appreciative of your continuing commitment to us.
Enclosed is some background information about West Hennepin Human
Services. If you need more specific information, please contact Marcy
Shapiro or Bruce Larson of our staff.
Thank you.

WEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES PlANNING BOARD
INIRODUCTION
West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board (WHHS) acts mainly as a planning and
coordinating agency through which citizens are a part of the decisionmaking process in
delivering needed health and social services for the 219 square mile West Hennepin area. It
provides education, consultation and technical assistance on issues pertaining to human service
delivery systems. It provides linkages between governmental units, consumers and service
providers; increases awareness of available human service resources; identifies and advocates
for needed services and improvements of the existing services system; and assists others in the
development of human services programs. WHHS also coordinates the delivery of services
when there is no other agency to do it. Our work in the Emergency Services Program, the
House Doctor/Project AIR/Home Energy Check-up Program, and the Energy Assistance
Program are examples of this. We are working to promote programs such as the Community
Energy Council programs that tie the needs of municipal efforts with those of human services.
WHHS is the only agency providing these planning and coordinating services to the West
Hennepin area. We rely heavily on the involvement of volunteers to maximize cost
effectiveness and increase citizen involvement.
We view ourselves as an advocate for the residents of our member cities. We work to make
services more accessible on a decentralized basis and get a fair share of human tax service
dollars back into our communities. This effort is critical for suburban residents to have equal
opportunity and access to services as do their urban counterparts. We also work for the
establishment of new or expanded services when a need is documented through our research
and needs assessment process.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Energy Assistance Program
There are twenty-two decentralized intake sites operated by WHHS which area residents can
apply for the Energy Assistance Program.
During the 1989-1990 Energy Assistance Program, the following assistance was received by
residents of Suburban Hennepin County through WHHS.
*
3,990 Suburban Hennepin households (this is 11,223 individuals) applied for heating
assistance from our program.
*
$1,145,665 of heating grants was distributed to Suburban Hennepin residents; $54,440 for
crisis heating assistance and 55,526 for energy-related repair.
'"
.
.
Emergency Services
WHHS received Hennepin County and Federal government funds for emergency food, shelter,
clothing and transportation services. The program is delivered in cooperation with Interchurch
Community Association, Interfaith Outreach, St. Louis Park Emergency Program and Westonka
Community Action Network as well as Home Free Shelter, Sojourner Shelter and 12 area
police departments. In 1989, a total of $108,393 served 3,438 West Hennepin residents with
food, 444 with shelter and 923 with clothing and other needs.
Energy Conservation Programs
We provide the Project AIR/House Doctor (weatherization and audit program) and Home
Energy Check-up Programs in 16 suburban cities. As part of these, we also have local
Community Energy Councils to provide citizens advice to each program. This is funded by
utilities and the State of Minnesota.
Directory of Services
We published our mini-directory of human services. 40,000 copies were printed through a
donation from Twin West Chamber of Commerce Foundation. We publish two combination
directories and how to guides: "Basic Tools: A Survival Skills Guide for the Unemployed and
Underemployed" and "Home Sweet Home: A Guide to Help Find Affordable Housing." We
also publish a directory for clients of our Energy Assistance Program and one for our
Emergency Services Program.
Information and Referral
We do an average of about 100 information and referral calls per month.
Mazebusters
Mazebusters is an empowerment program for low income parents on AFDC in the West
Hennepin Suburban area. It is funded by the McKnight Foundation as part of their Families in
Poverty Initiative. Participants in the program, "Maze busters" are trained as peer counselors
and information and referral specialists. their job is to assist low income people in accessing
available services.
Food Stamp Outreach
This is a program funded by the State Department of Human Services which has as a goal to
make food stamps more accessible to low income West Hennepin residents. Mazebuster
volunteers reach out and let others in the community know about food stamps and how to
apply.
Suburban Headstart Task Force
This task force has as its goal to make Head Start available to suburban Hennepin residents.
Since its inception, the number of Head Start kids coming from the suburbs has doubl~d, and
for many western Hennepin communities, services are being provided in a more accessIble way.
.
.
Service Coordination
We provide assistance to a number of service coordination groups including: Providers West,
Emergency Service Providers, Mental Health Aftercare Providers, Westonka Community Action
Network, West Metro Interagency Committee.
Housing Advocacy Project
This project which aims to make affordable housing a "front burner" issue in the suburbs. We
are providing staff leadership to this joint project of the human service councils. It is funded
by the Minneapolis Foundation.
Legislative Agenda
We have a legislative agenda of eight categories and provide extensive staff time to working on
these issues. We work with and provide leadership to a number of coalitions on these issues.
We provide staff assistance to a joint lobby task force of the three human service councils and
CASH.
Community Education Services
WHHS conducts a variety of activities to inform the community of area human service needs,
issues and availability. Specific activities include information and referral calls, letters of
support (after careful evaluation), technical assistance to area agencies and presentations to
area community groups on issues such as human service resources, legislation, emergency needs
and our service priority reports.
Accessibilitv of Services
WHHS advocates with decision makers such as Hennepin County and the State of Minnesota
to provide service in a decentralized format to the residents of the West Hennepin County.
This effort is critical for suburban residents to have equal opportunity and access to services as
do their urban counterparts. We also work for the establishment of new or expanded services
when a need is documented through our research and needs assessment process.
Examples of specific program development resulting from the efforts of WHHS include:
Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH) which has brought in $250,000 of federal
and state anti-poverty funds; Bridge West which provides crisis housing for youth; West
Hennepin Community center for Mentally Handicapped Citizens; Domestic Abuse Intervention
projects in several West Hennepin Cities: the MEED State Jobs Program; the Project AIR and
Home Energy Check-up energy conservation programs; four suburban residential treatment
programs for chronically mentally ill people; a food co-op in St. Louis Park; County and
Federal funding for Emergency Service Program; the suburban federally funded Energy
Assistance Program; Senior Health screening programs; Metro West Coordinated
Transportation Project; parenting education programs in a number of school districts; Parents
Anonymous group; suburban detox programs; and decentralized county programs such as the
Ridgedale Community Center. In addition, we have effectively advocated with Hennepin
County for continued funding of programs such as Pyramid Mental Health Center.
"-
.
.
Community Social Services Act Process
The Community Social Services Act Process varies from year-to-year depending upon the
opportunities available for the gathering and analysis of data. The process by which the 1990
service priorities were formulated included the participation of hundreds of people. Specific
activities included:
*
A review of local research
Surveys on human service funding criteria and of youth service providers
Analysis of social service use trend data in West Hennepin
Presentation of findings, priorities and issues to the Hennepin County Community
Services management team and United Way planning department
Focus group interviews on: emergency service needs; child and family issues; jobs,
income and self-sufficiency; and access to services; developmental disabilities, child care,
physical disabilities, chemical health, senior services, mental health, group homes,
unemployed citizens, and employment trends
Monitoring the Hennepin County budget
Release of two reports
*
*
*

Technical Assistance
We provide technical assistance to an average of 10-15 agencies and organizations per month.
Advisory Committees

Ms. Wilda Goggans, 26960 West 62nd Street, has asked for additional time to comply with

It is suggested that the owner be given until the end of November to remove the offending

DRAFT
UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS - SHADY HILLS
November 7, 1990
HISTORY:
The City Council reviewed all of the concerns expressed at the
Public Hearing on the Special Taxing District and:
1. Televised the storm sewer to assess the condition of
the pipe - which verified the poor condition of the pipe and
the need for replacement;
2. Reviewed the topographic maps for the subwatershed to
determine more precisely what the boundary of the Special
Taxing District should be;
3. Reaffirmed their decision that solutions to drainage
problems must be financed through these Districts as there
are not sufficient revenues in the General Fund to solve all
the known drainage problems; and,
4. Established a policy that any parcel that was at
least 50% (percent) in the subwatershed should be include in
the Special Taxing District.
PROCESS:
The City must now hold a Public Hearing on the Feasibility of the
Project. The Notice of that hearing is included in this packet.
That hearing will be held November 26, 1990, at 9:00 P.M. in the
City Hall.
Once the City Council is satisfied that the issues raised have been
adequately addressed, the Council may adopt the Ordinance
establishing the special Taxing District and the boundaries
thereof; and, order the City Engineer to take bids for construction
of the project.
FINANCING:
If adopted as proposed, the average parcel of property will be
taxed approximately $1061.00 - plus interest expense, if the costs
are spread over more than one taxing year. If all the parcels
outlined in this notice are taxed, the approximate tax per $1,000
of NET TAX CAPACITY would be $666.80.
These values are approximate until the final District boundary is
established and the bids for construction are in. Once these are
known and the project is completed, a final PUBLIC HEARING will be
held to present and discuss the final proposed tax on each parcel

years set by the City Council at that hearing.
PROJECT AREA:
A Map of the project area is also in this packet. A complete list
of the parcels proposed to be taxed is also enclosed. Your

MEMO

FR: Larry Whittaker
DT: Nov. 8, 1990
RE: GLEN ROAD SUBWATERSHED
The City Engineer developed the boundary for the Glen Road Special
Taxing District using the same criteria established for Shady
Hills...if 50% of the parcel is within the subwatershed, 100% of
the parcel will be in the Special Taxing District.
Jim noted that his firm will be field-checking a few areas before
the final legal description of the District is attached; but, the
Council should be able to ADOPT THE ORDINANCE establishing the
Taxing District Nov. 13, 1990.
The Watershed District has not sent us the revised Feasibility
Study and Jim has not reviewed it; so, having the Public Hearing on
the Feasibility of the Project may not be practical on December 10
- as planned.
Therefore, I recommend the Council schedule review of the
Feasiblity Study for Dec. 10 and CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING for the
second meeting in January. You do not have a second meeting
scheduled in December (because of Christmas week) and the first
meeting in January is the Annual Organizational Meeting.
Although this project has been long delayed, this delay will not
really set back the improvement. Construction conditions will not
vary much from December 10 to February 1. The improvement will
probably have to be made in the Spring, anyway.
If you are completely satisfied with the boundaries of the Taxing
District and expect the Watershed District to return our plan
intact, you could leave the Public Hearing Scheduled. However, Jim
will not have revised costs for you until November 26 at the
earliest; and, we would have to send notices of the hearing out be-
fore you consider the final Feasiblity Report.

RE: Item #9 - Hearing on Ordinance to Establish GRANT LORENZ
Special Taxing District
We are not quite as far long on this drainage problem as we are
on the others. This is really the first step in the process:
Calling the Public Hearing on the Ordinance to Establish the
Special Taxing District.
A PRELIMINARY map of the proposed District is attached to the
RESOLUTION calling the Public Hearing. The city Engineer's
October 4,1990, Preliminary Report is also attached.
The PUBLIC HEARING on the Ordinance establishing the District
could be scheduled December 10, 1990 - as shown in the Resolution -
in the slot once reserved for the Feasiblity Hearing on Glen Road.
If you do that, the final boundaries for the District could be
reviewed Nov. 26. The Notice of the Hearing would go to everyone
within the boundary of the Preliminary map.
This would be fairly ambitious as you will be discussing the
Feasibility Report on Glen Road and holding the public hearing on
Church Road improvements that night - as well as any year-end
business.
Also, it is important to explain these proposed proj ects and
previous Council actions to the incoming Council Members. There
are many projects in process - and this may be a lot to absorb in
a short time.
Staff can be ready and get the notices out if you choose to
proceed.

Proposed Improvements of the Grant Lorenz Drainage Problem,
.....
I. Discussion of Problem - A general overall look of the drainage ditch has shown a
need for a number of improvements along the area. Problems that were found
include silting in the ditch bottom itself, erosion along the banks, dense vegetation
. in the ditch bottom and brush and trees falling into .the ditch bottom along with other
debris including concrete blocks, metal barrels, etc. These problems create flow
restrictions of the ditch causing destruction and encroachment on private property.
A continuing escalation of these problems could in time cause severe inundations on
private property and a deterioration in the aesthetic value of the ditch. It is
therefore believed that a cleanup program should be implemented to curtail the
continuation of these problems and to increase the flow capacity of the ditch.
Another consideration that should not be overlooked, is the fact that areas upstream
are currently being developed. The continuation of development upstream of
Smithtown Road will eventually create a need for more flow capacity in the ditch.
A cleaning effort at this time could help facilitate the increase in flow and also
preserve the aesthetic value of the ditch.
At the current time, heavy rainfalls cause the flooding at a number of homes along
the ditch as well as flooding of the intersection of Noble Road and Grant Lorenz
Road. It is suggested that along with the ditch cleaning program, a hydraulic review
of the Comprehensive Stormwater Study be done to verify the required capacity of
this ditch between Smithtown Road and the wetland area immediately north of
Noble Road.
II. Proposed, Improvements - Solutions and improvements to the ditch include the
following:
A Widening and reshaping the existing channel in a number of areas.
B. General cleaning in the removal of silt and debris from the ditch
bottom.
C. The installation of erosion control measures.
D. The installation of larger size culverts if required after analysis of the
watershed area.
.
.
E. Redirect drainage west of Grant Lorenz Road coming from the school
site to flow along the west side of Grant Lorenz Road.
The widening and/or reshaping of the ditch would involve approximately 900 feet in
the area between Smithtown Road and Grant Lorenz Road. Also included in this
ditch widening and reshaping would be the areas immediately north and south of
Noble Road. The widening and reshaping of the ditch would involve the grading of
a wider ditch bottom with more gradual side slopes to allow for the mowing of the
ditch bottom during dry seasons. This would help to increase the capacity of the
ditch during wet periods.
.J'-'
The general cleaning of the ditch would involve removal of silts and debris from the
existing channel from the crossing under Grant Lorenz Road up to the area
immediately south of Noble Road. The cleaning would involve approximately 1,000
. feet with an average width of 10 to 15 feet and the approximate removal of 1/2 to
1 foot of silting materials. This general cleaning would also include the removal of
fallen trees and trees that are currently standing but in the danger of falling into the
ditch if erosion were to continue.
The installation of erosion control would include the placement of rip rap along
strategic areas and the establishment of erosion control blankets with seeding in
other areas of the ditch to limit the bank erosion during high flow periods. An
approximate quantity of rip rap would be estimated to be between 250 and 350 cubic
yards of rip rap placed with the filter blanket under the rip rap and approximately
.5 acres of seeding with erosion control blanket.
Another alternative for the control of erosion would be to install a series of overflow
structures creating low velocity ponding areas during high flow periods. These
structures could be designed such that they would drain the ditch relatively dry
during low flow periods. This approach would require a more intense engineering
effort and some additional construction efforts. It is assumed that the construction
costs would be similar.
Also proposed as improvements would be the installation of properly sized culverts
under existing roads and driveways: It is not known if the existing culverts are
incorrectly sized. It would require the performance of a watershed review to
determine this. Culverts along the Grant Lorenz ditch should be sized to
accommodate the flow of a 5 year event, in conformance with the Comprehensive
Stormwater Study.
IlL. Effects of the Improvements - The improvements discussed would:
A Increase the flow capacity of the ditch.
B. Increase the aesthetic value of the ditch.
C. Decrease erosion and deterioration of the ditch banks.
.
.
D. Decrease the potential for inundation of flood waters on private
properties.
IV. Cost of Improvements - Following is an itemized cost estimate to accomplish the
above described improvements:

RE: CONTRACT FOR PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS for the S.E. AREA WATER
TREATMENT PLANT
The City Attorney redrafted the contract for Engineering Services
for the Plans and Specifications for the Water Treatment Plant.
However, Associated Consultants has not had an opportuni ty to
review it and respond.
I expect their comments tomorrow; and, I will send them to you
under separate cover.
In the course of discussions about this, however, I have learned
that they will not consider payment for their services SUBJECT to
construction bids being near their cost estimate. Mr. Vogen said
they have never agreed to such terms in other contracts and the
firm would not approve such terms now. He went on to say he
remains confident that the bids will be reasonably close to his
estimate and the treatment problems can be solved within his
proposed cost frame.
The proposed contract includes a FIXED FEE for ALL engineering
services through COMPLETION of the plant. Mr. Vogen will also
provide a Fixed Fee for PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS ONLY so that you
may contract for just that part now. This, too, is not how we
normally operate. If a firm is hired to prepare Plans and Spec i-
cations, they normally proceed to get Council approval of them and
ask for authority to take bids. I recommend THIS CONTRACT include
that much of the work, at least. Then, we will have bids to
determine if they are reasonable and we should proceed.
NOTES:
1. Chapter 429 only requires that Bids be REASONABLY close to the
original cost estimate. We would not have to have another Feasibi-
lity Study or Hearing if, say, the bids were within 10% of the
estimate.
2. Mayor Haugen asked me to check references on the firm before
the meeting. If my calls are returned, I will summarize those for
you in tomorrow's mailing. If not, I will report Monday night.

DATE: October 30, 1990
SUBJ: LMCD Enabling Act
The enabling act of the District, Laws 1967, Chapter 907 and Laws 1969,
Chapter 272, have been repealed by Laws 1990, Chapter 371. This action
of the 1990 legislature was taken as part of an over-all recodification
of a number of laws of the state relating to water.
After reviewing the matter, LMCD Attorney Charlie LeFevere reported that:
"It is stated in the new law that it was not the intent of the authors
to change the water law in the state of Minneosta, but rather simply to
recodify it. This seems to have been the case with the LMCD Enabling
Act which has been changed slightly as to form and organization, but which
does not appear to have been changed as to substance."
Until the 1990 statutes are published you may wish to refer to the attached
copy of the new Act, found at Laws 1990, Chapter 391, Article 2, Sections
47-56. LeFevere suggests that if you need to refer to a section of the
Enabling Act under the new statutes, refer to the number in bold faced
brackets which will be the number when the laws are incorporated into
the 1990 statute books (e.g., if you wish to refer to the definition of
"Board" on the first page of the attached copy, you would refer to it
as Minnesota Statutes Section 103B.60l, Subd. 2, rather than Laws of Minne-
sota 1990, Chapter 391, Article 2, Section 47).

RE: 11/1/90 to 11/1/91 Insurance Coverages
Dear AI:
Per our discussion of today, I am enclosing the Renewal Premium
Summary and Binder that we have received from North Star Risk Services,
Inc. indicating the breakdown of coverages and premiums charged for each.
This will serve as your sixty (60) day binder and includes everything
except the Umbrella. The only change on this will be the computer
coverage which we are placing with Auto Owners Insurance Company per
the enclosed binder at an annual premium of $309.00 with a $500.00
Deductible. The computer coverage is included in the North Star Risk
Inland Marine premium figure, therefore, this amount will actually be
$386.00 less, or $1,690.00. As we discussed, the Auto Owners policy does
not include breakdown coverage.
AI, as we discussed previously and also today, the Excess Liability
quotation is also attached, and this year the League has changed the way
this policy is offered. If you buy it with the Waiver of Immunity included
the annual premium will be $11,641. 00 and if you buy it without, the annual
premium will be $9,464.00. Last year you paid $11,793.00 for the Excess
Liability coverage.
I am also enclosing several cop~es of a memo from Peter Tritz regarding
the new Excess Liability coverage, that in my opinion does a good job of
explaining the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing or not purchasing
the broader coverage. As we discussed, Will Personius, the underwriter
at North Star Risk Services had indicated to me that most cites were

purchasing the policy with the Waiver of Immunity included which is the
broader coverage.
We do need the LMCIT Excess Liability Coverage form completed which will
indicate that you either waive or not waive the Minnesota Statute 466.04.
Also, please fill in the date of the council meeting and sign the form as
indicated. If possible, please try to place this on the agenda for the
November 13th council meeing and return the completed form to us as soon
,as possible after the meeting.
Al; if you have any questions or would like me to meet with you to further
go through any of the above coverage I would be very pleased to do so.
WE will 8et a final premium after the council has made its decision and
will again break down the premiums as we have done in the past.
Sincerely,
f(~9~
Kenneth J. Jarcho

enclosure
P.S. AS we hve discussed previously, the Excess Liability coverage does
not cover over the Liquor Liability coverage.
Also, the Excess Liability quote is at a $1,000,000. limit. The
approximate additional annual premium to increase this limit to
$2,000,000. would be $5,000. and if you are interested in increasing
this please let us know. This policy will contain a special exclusion
on child molestation.

League of Minnesota Cities
December 1, 1989
To: LMCIT member cities
From: Peter Tritz
Re: New excess liability coverage options
The League of Minnesota cities Insurance Trust now offers cities
two options in purchasing excess liability coverage:
_ L~CIT now makes it possible for cities to obtain excess
coverage without waiving the statutory liability limit of
$600,000 per occurrence. Under this option, the higher
excess coverage limits would be available only for those
claims which are not covered by the statutory limits.
_ Alternately, cities may choose to waive the statutory
liability limits to the extent of the excess liability
coverage purchased. Under this option, the higher
coverage limits would be available for all claims,
including claims covered by ~~e statutory liability
,. '-
_J..mJ..I..s.
Cost
The city's premium for excess coverage will be 15% lower if t~e
city chooses not to waive the statutory monetary liability
limits. In addition overall rate levels for excess coverage
will be substan~ially below last year's levels.
Backcrround
L~C!T's basic liability coverage provides limits of $600,000 per
occ~rrence. LMCIT also offers cities the option of an
additional Sl million, $3 million, or $5 million of liability
coverage limits. Since the statutes provide that cities and
ci~y of:icials and employees can't be held liable for amounts
over S600,000 per occurrence, city officials often ask why it
would ever make sense to buy coverage limits higher than
S600,000. There are four basic kinds of reasons why a city
might choose to buy limits of coverage greater than the
statutory liability limits.
(~63
.
.
.
First, the city is exposed to some kinds of liability to which
the statutory limits either don't or might not apply. Some
possible examples~re
- liability under the federal civil rights acts
certain types of liability that the city has assumed
contractually, in an indemnification agreement for example
- liability for actions in another state; e.g. by a city
official attending a conference, or under a mutual aid
agreement with a political subdivision across the border
- liability for a zoning action under an Winverse
condemnationw theory of law
Second, the city may buy higher limits because the underlying
coverage might not cover the full extent of the city's exposure
within the statutory liability limits in all cases. LMCIT
applies a $600,000 aggregate limit to the *products liability",
the "limited pollution", and the optional *inverse condemnation"
coverages. This is an additional limit, besides the $600,000
per occurrence limit that applies to all liability coverage.
The annual limit is the maximum amount the policy will pay for
this kind of liability, regardless of the number of occurrences.
Thus, if part of the annual limit is used up in one occurrence,
there may not be adequate coverage limits available if there is
a second loss of that tl~e. Excess coverage can help protect
against L~is risk.
(Annual aggregate limits are very common in conventional
commercial liability policies. Often the aggregate limit
applies to all liability, rather than being restricted to only
ce=tain coverages as LMCIT's is. A similar problem can occur in
policies where defense costs are subject to the policy limit;
with that type of policy and a $600,000 per occurrence limit, if
you spend $50,000 on defense you wouldn't have enough limits to
cover the city's full ex;Josure under the stat:.ute. LMCIT does
~ apply a limit to defense costs.)
Third, the city may feel that the statutory limits aren't high
enough to provide adequate compensation for very serious
injuries, or for multiple parties. That is, the city might in
effect say *We want to have at least a million dollars (or three
million or five million, etc.) of coverage available, so that if
we injure someone he won't go uncompensated if his injuries
really do exceed the statutory limits."
Finally, the city might be concerned whether the statutory
liability limits will stand up in court. The statutory
liability limits have been upheld in two recent Minnesota
Supreme Court cases, so this is now less of a concern. However,
it is always difficult to predict the future course of court
decisions.
.
..
.
.
Thus, cities faced a dilemma: The city either had to buy
coverage limits equal to the statutory limits and bear the risk
of a larger claim that the statutory limits don't cover; or the
city could buy additional protection against those claims, but
by doing so expose itself to greater liability in the areas
where the statutory limits do apply, thereby losing the benefit
of those limits.
LMCIT's new approach to excess coverage eliminates that dilemma.
It is now possible for the city, if it wishes, to buy higher
limits of coverage where that protection may be needed, without
automatically waiving the statutory liability limits and losing
their protection where those limits apply.
What must the citv do?
All LMCIT quotes for excess coverage will show the premiums for
both options. The decision to waive or not to waive the
statutory limits must be made by motion or resolution of the
city council. A form to show the council's choice is enclosed
with each quote. That form must be completed and returned to
LMCIT.
If the city indicates that it wishes to waive the liability
limits, LMCIT will issue a special endorsement as part of the
coverage document showing that the statutory liability limits
are waived to the extent of the coverage purchased.
. ,

LMCIT EXCESS LIABILITY COVERAGE
cities obtaining excess coverage from the League of Minnesota
cities Insurance Trust must decide whether or not to waive the
statutory liability limits to the extent of the excess coverage
purchased. This decision must be made by the city council.
CITIES PURCHASING EXCESS COVERAGE MUST COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS
FORM TO LMCIT BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE COVERAGE.

officials may also want to discuss these issues with the city
attorney.

SHOREWOOD SNOWMOBILE CLUB - DONATION OF SERVICES
Cindy Ellis appeared on behalf of the "Shorewood Snowmobile Club".
They would like to donate their services to the City of Shorewood
for fall and spring clean up of the Shorewood Trail. They will
donate their time, personnel and the trash bags in an effort to
keep the trail a valuable asset for all of Shorewood's residents;
walkers, hikers, bikers, horseback riders and snowmobilers alike.
They will clean the trail and bring the trash and debris to
Shorewood's "Spring Clean-Up" collection point in the Spring.
They will also bring it to a fall collection site designated by the
city.
Ellis said if the City accepts their services, it would be nice,
but not necessary, if a sign, such as those used on highways,
recognizing their group's efforts in keeping the trail clean, were
posted, and it would be greatly appreciated.
Dzurak moved, Vogel seconded, to recommend to the council that the
offer made by the "Shorewood Snowmobile Club"clean up the entire
"Hiking and Biking Trail" in the spring and the Fall be accepted
contingent upon Public Works Director Zdrazil's approval; and that
a letter be sent to them thanking them for their offer. Motion
carried - 5/0.

Re: LMC Office Space
The League board wants to inform the membership concerning
our continuing work on the question of office space needs at
the League. We are also seeking members' views on this
subject.
The board will review this issue again at its November 14
meeting. Please contact a board member, staff member, or me
with your views, or write to the League office.
Why does the League need more space?
We need more space to continue to provide high quality
services to our members. Conference space and parking are in
very short supply. Our staff is double-officed and jammed into
very inefficient space. We have compressed office space even
though the volume of files and materials have grown. We are, in
short, bulging at the seams.
We have tried to squeeze all the usable space out of our
office building. We have economized by re-dividing, and
subdividing offices, converted smaller conference space to
office space, initiated a records management program, placed
storage in the lunchroom, removed active files to storage
areas, and we no longer lease space to private interests.
More staff:
One reason for needing more space is increased staff. Since
1980, our staff has more than doubled. We had 22 staff members
in 1980 (full time equivalents). We now have 49. (See chart.)
League staff growth has been predominently in special service
areas, particularly the League's pooled self-insurance program.
This is due to the success of these programs. cities rely on

City officials need parking at the League office. It would
be nearly impossible for members to find off-site parking. The
hospital ramp doesn't have space. street parking is prohibited
on University Avenue and parking on Jackson street is very
limited in time and space. And, the state has every available
space of off-street parking under contract within three blocks
of the Capitol.
Why is moving some staff unworkable?
Sharing expertise:
The League staff works as one unit. Each department uses
staff expertise from several other departments. It is common to
have attorneys from LMCIT consulting with research assistants
about cities' concerns, or researchers talking with the
legislative staff about issues. Our LMCIT administrator has a
wealth of knowledge in areas other than insurance. Several
departments are involved with consultations regarding
investments and with administrative services.
The League and LMCIT have studied the interconnectivity of
the staff and found they use expertise and materials
interchangably. Most important is the fact that all league
services benefit from staff sharing experience and problems.
Linked supervision affords all League programs economies.
Sharing equipment/services:
In addition to sharing staff expertise, we share the same
computer system. All League research materials are indexed and
searched on the system. Every department uses the data base.
The research staff and LMCIT share the same law library and the
research files are used extensively by both groups. Duplication
of the research materials would be costly, probably $75,000. We
also share a phone system and other office equipment and
common administrative services. Duplication of these systems
would be very expensive.
Why is the League office so close to the Capitol?
Proximity of the League office to the Capitol enables city
officials visiting the Capitol to take advantage of the
league's parking and staff assistance at the League. City
officals often visit staff to be briefed before going to the
Capitol to lobby. And, they can take care of other city
business during the same trip.
Although it is convenient for the staff to be close to the
Capitol, it would not cause hardship if the office were further
away. Being close to the Capitol gives the League visibility
with the Legislature and state agencies.

space. This building was also one block from the Capitol. But,
the owners decided that it was to their advantage to lease the
space instead of selling it.
Options the League is still considering:
The two remaining options are under consideration. Both
have merit. Both would meet LMC needs.
Option 1 is the addition to the current building. st. Paul
has approved the sale of the land adjacent to the LMC building.
We have studied the site. An architect conducted a feasibility
study which is complete. the study indicates that the land is
buildable.
Option 2 is the building of a new building at the corner of
of Rice street and University Avenue. Michael Development
Corporation is interested in a partnership arrangement to build
a facility on that site.
Each of these options would give the League about 30,000
usable square feet. This would be adequate for the future as
well as current needs. It would provide space for affiliates
wishing to co-locate with us. Several municipal groups have
indicated an interest in having office space with the league.
What will it cost?
The LMC board is considering all possible funding options.
While a financing plan hasn't been completed--and it is too
early to present the details -- we hope that a combination of
using building fund balances, borrowing, and perhaps,
cooperative arrangements with LMCIT will be feasible.
A 20,000 square foot addition to the present building will
cost approximately $2 million. A final total cost would not be
available until the project goes to bid.
The initial proposal from Michael is $4.1 million for
30,000 square feet at Rice and Univeresity Avenue, including
101 parking spaces. This would have to be offset by selling
the current building.
One of the problems with this proposal is the disposition of
the current building. The real estate market in st. Paul is
depressed and the League may not realize its total investment
in the building if it is sold.

The City Council
Larry Whittaker
Nov. 8, 1990
RE:
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
12.C.1. Snowmobile Club - Please see the excerpt from the Park
Commission Minutes on the Club's offer to clean up the trails. At
this point, I am somewhat concerned that the trail will be littered
with signs if we put more up. We already have signs indicating the
ci ty of Shorewood improved the trail. And, Hennepin County
insisted we put up signs indicating that the trail was a future
light rail transit corridor. I think we should accept the offer
and note their efforts in the next Newsletter.
C.2. LMC Office Expansion - Please review the LMC Memo on this
and share any concerns or suggestions you may have with me Nov. 13.
I think they should expand the Building WE just paid for - at the
lower cost. (Note: All member cities paid extra "dues" for the
current building. In fact, I think we just finished paying our
share this year.)
C.3. Podium Chairs - I will leave the catalogues at the front
desk and put them on the podium before the meeting so that you can
review them. I think the current podium chairs are adequate; but,
other staff members - who do not have the same chairs - would like
better chairs for the meetings; and, the Council budgeted for new
Council chairs last year. If you prefer to let the new Council
assess the styles, please let me know.
C.4. Recycling Proposals - Sandy will be attending a meeting
Friday (tomorrow) morning on the proposals we received for a joint
recycling contract. so, we couldn't put a recommendation in the
packet. We will include this with the Contract for Engineering
Services tomorrow!
Have a nice Holiday weekend. We will be celebrating with or for
Veterans on Monday - as it is a Legal Holiday. The city Offices
will be closed. So, please call me Friday or Tuesday if you want
additional information before the meeting. Thanks! Larry

MEMO
TO: The city council
FR: Larry Whittaker
DT: Nov. 8, 1990
RE: November 13, 1990, City Council Agenda
3. A. Like the LMCD, Cable Commission and SLMPSD, West Hennepin
Human Services needs ci ty approval of their Budget now - even
though our final Budget has not been adopted. Their budget is very
much in line with previous year's; so, I see no problem with this.
B. The first payment on the Freeman Park irrigation is due.
Park Planner Koegler recommends approval. The city is keeping a 5%
retainage in line with our contract and policy.
6. ALTENATIVES FOR LIFT STATION REPAIRS - Please review the yellow
report in your packets. I concur with the city Engineer's
recommendation. Funds were budgeted for these improvements in
1990.
NOTE: There are also reserves in the Sewer Enteprise Fund for im-
provements to other lift stations next year.
7. SHADY HILLS TAXING DISTRICT - Please review the "Draft" Update
on the Proposed Storm Sewer Improvements - Shady Hills. This
summary will go with the Notice of the Public Hearing.
I was careful to qualify the estimated tax increase as we will not
know the exact amount for each parcel until the final Taxing
District boundary is established and all the costs of the improve-
ment are known. However, this does give property owners a fairly
good idea of their share of the cost should you order the improve-
ment.
The Council action required to proceed is: Adoption of the
Ordinance establishing the Special Taxing District.
