AGENDA REVIEW
Gagne moved,Stover seconded, to approve the Agenda with the following
additions:
1. 1.C. Park Report by Councilmember Watten.
2. Under Other, Administrator Whittaker will also
report on Park matters.
PARK COMMISSION REPORT
Councilmember Watten reported that the Park Commission discussed
having an opening ceremony at Freeman Park. This was still tentative
and would be decided later.
Watten stated that the Park Commission requested a meeting with the
City Council regarding the engineering problems with Freeman Park.
They felt all parties should attend this meeting. The Council decided
they should meet with Engineer Norton and the other Engineers
separately, before the joint meeting with the Park Commission. The
meeting was set for June 27, 1990 at 7:00 PM.
REVIEW PROPOSED CONTRACT FOR TIF DEVELOPMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY
AND SHERMAN-BOOSALIS.
Administrator Whittaker presented the staff's proposals for the
Guaranty of the TIF bonds.
The main concern of the staff is to cover the city's risk. The staff
maintained that the maximum period of risk would be four years.
In a worst case scenario, if there were no revenue from the
development, the property is forfeited for taxes and the City could
assume ownership of the property.
The staff, therefore, recommended that Sherman Boosalis supply a
letter of credit for four years.
George Sherman of Sherman-Boosalis explained his firm's proposals:
1. Sherman-Boosalis could not afford to guarantee the bonds for
four years unless there was a gas station/convenience store
on the site.
2. If the city would not allow a gas station/convenience store
Sherman-Boosalis was still willing to provide a letter of
credit for the two highest years of debt service.

3. The city could issue revenue bonds instead of general
obligation bonds.
Mr. Sherman felt that without a gas station/convenience store the
development would not have the economic punch for a four year
guarantee.
Mayor Haugen and Councilmembers Gagne. Brancel, Watten and Stover felt
there could be no change on their position regarding the gas station
without another public hearing.
The final agreement would include a letter of credit at a level which
would guarantee the three highest years of debt service. Sherman-
Boosalis and the City felt this was a reasonable risk on both parts.
There would be an increase in value of the property as soon as the
building starts and the improvements are in.
Mr. Sherman reiterated his position that without a gas
station/convenience store. the development would be difficult to
market.
Stover asked how long the marketing would take and how long is the
City committed?
Whittaker said the original agreement called for the project to be
started by the end of 1990.
Sherman felt that he would know before the end of the year, if he
could secure sufficient leases for the development
Councilmember Gagne asked if future City Councils are obligated to
build the intersection.
Attorney Froberg said a new City Council would be bound by any binding
agreement that was signed by previous Councils.
The site was also zoned for multiple dwellings and Mr. Sherman felt
this could also be an excellent development.
Stover asked what would happen if there was a change in the Planning
Commission's decision? Froberg said there would have to be a new
C.U.P. and a hearing.
Watten moved, Stover seconded. the motion to prepare agreement on the
TIF development. Motion carried - 4/1 (Brancel).
Froberg stated that the agreement should include a time frame to
market the development.
Mr. Thistle thought the Council was talking about two separate issues.
If a letter of credit is not provided. then the agreement is null.
There can be no change in the developement agreement without the
approval of Trivesco. If Sherman-Boosalis buys the property, they
buy the developement agreement.
DISCUSSION OF FINANCING THE GLEN ROAD DRAINAGE PROJECT.
Whittaker stated that there were two ways to finance the drainage
project.
1. Through the General Fund.
2. Through a Special Taxing District.
A Special Taxing District was easier. administrativly. than a Special
Assessment.

Haugen said the City was allowed to bank 1/3 of a mill. for drainage
projects. Finance Director Rolek said that .with an assessed value of
9 million, 1/3 mill. would be about $27.000. The Glen Road project
would cost $100.000.
Stover asked if staff has contacted the area developers to determine
their part in financing the project? Does Engineer Norton have a
comprehensive plan?
Whittaker said he would contact developers. Engineer Norton has
determined the sites in the City that will need drainage but the
projected price might be four million.
Stover felt the benefited properties should pay.
Gagne felt all people in area benefited and the city should do
something within one year as this was a twenty year old problem.
Watten wanted to know what was the frequency of doing these projects
on demand.
City would need an Ordinance to set up a Special Taxing District.
This would be an Ad Valorem tax and deductible.
Whittaker said that Mr. Norton would prepare the numbers for people.
The cost would be $1200-$1300 per family over 5-10 years.
Council advised Froberg to get information for an Ordinance. Set up a
public hearing.
DISCUSSION SCHEDULE/PROCESS FOR ELDERLY HOUSING AND COMPREHENSIVE
WATER PLAN UPDATE.
Gagne had contacted a representative of Real Life Development. He
would be willing to talk to the Council on July 16, 1990. Mr. Frank
Reese would also like to speak. Watten felt there should be no more
than two speakers a night. One would talk at 7:30 and one at 9:00.
WATER PLAN
Water plan would be discussed at the regular City Council meeting of
June 25. 1990.
OTHER
Whittaker said the Park Commission reviewed the concession stand
placement and received a $200.00 deposit for damages. The Park
Commission decided to place the stand between the fields. Council
wanted the stand in the parking lot.
Haugen read letter from Tonka Unite Soccer League. Shorewood provides
four fields for soccer. Badger field could not be used this year
because of reseeding. Haugen felt Whittaker should find out the need
for fields and what other communities are providing and draft a letter
to Tonka United. Whittaker indicated that the league had no contract
with the City. Gagne felt they should sign contracts, as every other
sports organization does.

CONTRACT WITH LMCD/DNR FOR
SHORELAND GRANT AGREEMENT
RESOLUTION NO. 58-90
Administrator Whittaker said the LMCD asked the Lake Minnetonka cities
to cooperate in the signing of this agreement to meet the standards
mandated by the DNR on shoreland management.
Councilmember Stover questioned page 5, number 4. Why is the LMCD
involved with non-Lake Minnetonka shoreland? Planner Nielsen said the
DNR defines the lakes in the Cities and they must conform to DNR
regulations. The LMCD is simply offering technical assistance in
conforming to the regulations. They are not setting the rules for
other lakes.

PETITION FOR FEASIBILITY STUDY OF STREET IMPROVEMENT
APPLICANT: PETITIONERS
LOCATION: CHURCH ROAD
Mr. Neil Vegsund of 6155 Church Road spoke on behalf of the residents
of Church Road. He stated that the road was one of the few unfinished
roads in Shorewood and that there were drainage problems throughout
the year. The last four lots in the area were just developed. The
water had drained to these lots.
Haugen stated that the City has paid for roads but individual property
owners were responsible for resolving drainage problems.
Planner Nielsen presented his recommendations for a feasibility study.
He stated that the drainage problem must be solved first. The City
needs a larger easement and a turn-around at the north end.
The cost of the feasibility study should be borne by the residents
whether or not the project is undertaken.
Engineer Norton said that there are a number of problems to consider
in this project:
1. Soil conditions
2. High water table
3. Where to drain the water
Norton stated that the water would probably have to drain over land.
There is a 12" pipe that goes across the abandoned railway track. but
this would have to be enlarged to accommodate the additional drainage.
Another alternative would be a holding pond.
Watten and Gagne felt that any feasibility study should include the
whole subwatershed aarea.
Norton said that a storm sewer study done in the 1970's proposed
draining this area to the marsh north of Smithtown Road. The project
was never done.
Norton felt the feasibility study would cost $3200.00. Two soil
borings would also be necessary. Gagne said those would cost about
$1800.00. The total cost would be $5000.00.
Gagne asked Nielsen if the road needed to be so wide. Nielsen stated
that this was not unusually wide. they would need the extra space for
utility easements and snow storage.

Mr. Jonathan Kennedy, Sr. of 6135 Church Rd. asked if he would loose
trees along the road. Nielsen said that some may be lost. Kennedy
also asked why he was not advised by the builder that there were
drainage problems. Nielsen said that in the plan review, the City had
advised the builder that there were problems.
Mr. Lance DeTrude of 26620 W. 62nd St., owner of lots 2,3,4,5, asked
if he would be assessed and can he divide the property if he gives an
easement.
Nielsen said that he could not speculate on subdivision without
reviewing the files, but an easement alone would not preclude
subdivision.
Mr. Vegsund felt that the entire area, not just the unfinished part of
Church Road, would benefit by the project. Would the residents spend
money for the feasibility study and find out they would still be
flooded?
Haugen stated that it was hard to get people to pay for drainage
problems in Shorewood if they were not directly affected.
Stover stated that an assessment hearing must be held.
Froberg said there were two hearings but the first one could be waived
if 100% of the people were willing to be assessed. At the time of
assessment the residents can object, if they can show that the costs
are excessive.
Stover asked if the soil borings benefited the City. Watten asked if
the soil borings were necessary. Norton answered yes to both
questions.
BREAK - 9:30 to 9:40.
Stover asked if the City could split up the study and make it 2/3
street and 1/3 drainage. The residents would then pay for the 1/3 of
the $5000.00 study.
Stover moved, Gagne seconded, that the feasibility study be divided
between the City and the residents on a 2/3-1/3 basis.
Whittaker indicated that the money to pay for the study would come out
of the City Contingency Fund.
Gagne called the question.
Motion carried - 3/1 (Haugen)
Stover moved, Gagne seconded, that the homeowners present a petition
stating they will pay $150.00 each for the feasibility study, or the
project will not be started.
Motion carried - 4/0.
Mr. Detrude asked if the City would do the project? Council said it
would be put out for bids.
Mr. Vegund asked if the Engineer could start the study upon receipt of
the petition.
Gagne moved, Watten seconded, a Resolution to prepare a feasibility
study, not to exceed $5000.00, contingent upon receipt of a petition
by 100% of the property owners who will agree to bear 1/3 the cost or
$150.00 per household even if the project does not proceed.
Mr. Detrude asked Engineer Norton if he could estimate the cost of the
project. Mr. Norton said that was what the feasibility study did.
Mr. Detrude stated he could not go along with this.
Mr. Gagne withdrew his motion and Watten seconded. Mr. Gagne said he
wanted the Council to take a position on majority rule in the City.
Stover agreed that 100% approval of affected owners was too difficult
to get. The Council encouraged the residents to discuss payment of
the feasibility study and return to the Council July 23, 1990.

JUl fJ 3 1990
lle'ld COP'{ i
Dear Mr. Norton:
I was pleased to hear in a telephone conversation, yesterday, with CotmCilwoman Kristi
Stover that you intend to include a report on the surface water run-off problem at our
property (19355 Shady Hills Rd.) at the CotmCil meeting, July 9.. I am writing to
provide you, as well as the Council, with information on this matter which I hope may
be helpful.
We purchased our house at the above address in the middle of May, 1989. The seller's
disclosure statement at the time of our purchase indicated that in "the rain of the
century" (1987), one day after they moved into the house, surface water entered the
basement through a broken window. However, the owners subsequently had the front yard
landscaped and the basement redecorated (including new carpet), and there had been no
problem since. The statement indicated that the City of Shorewood assisted with the
clean-up in 1987. We were soon to learn that the reason there had been no problem was
not so much a redesigned landscape as, rather, two years of drought.
In the thirteen months during which we have owned the house, we have had surface water
running into our basement on three occasions. The most recent occurrence was yesterday
when we received about 2-3 inches of rain in approximately one hour.
The cause of the problem seems apparent to me. Our house is located in the low spot of
Shady Hills Rd. The house is on the south side of the street facing north, with a
walkout basement to the south. Water drains down streets from three directions to a
spot in front of our house. Two storm sewer grates are intended to receive the water
into a large sewer pipe and carry it underground on the west side of our house into a
pond south of our back yard. The landscaping of our yard does, in fact, convey the
water away from the house and around to the west side where a drain pipe carries it to
the back yard. Everything works well.. .until the storm sewer is no longer able to
accOlllIlOdB.te the flow on the street (which happens very quickly because of the large
drainage area). The overflow then forms a river which flows into our front yard and
against the north wall of our house. It, then, courses around to the west side and
down the grade into our back yard. The window wells on the front (north side) of our
house fill :immediately. In 1987 and, again, this spring, the pressure of the water
broke a basement window, and water literally gushed into our basement. (It was
necessary for us to oPen the walk-out door so the river which flowed in the north side
could flow out to the south.)
The damage to our property created by this overflow is considerable. There is serious
erosion on the west side of our house. As a result of yesterday's rain there are two
holes in the earth roughly 12"-18" deep and comprising approximately 30 sq. ft. in
area. The landscaping close to our house has been badly damaged. Top soil has been
washed away from tree roots of two large trees. The eroded material has been deposited
on our back lawn. The interior of our basement, of course, has been badly damaged
inspite of long hours with clean-up equipnent.
I visited with you, Mr. Norton, as well as with Mr. Zdrazil, earlier this spring about
this matter. We are grateful that larger grates were installed on the storm sewer in
front of our house. During the rain, yesterday, I was out to make sure that they were
-5
J
not plugged with debris (Ae problem had been with the seer grates). They were,
in fact, functioning well. However, it is apparent that the design of that storm sewer
is not adequate to carry the run-off from such a large area. (We are, also, grateful
that the sewer outlet at the pond was cleaned out, this spring.)
As you know, the City owns an easement along the west boundary of our property. I
certainly respect your engineering juigement and would hope that a way could be found
to convey overflow from the street grates down the easement line to the pond below. I
have discussed the matter with our neighbor to the west, and we both would favor some
kind of waterway that would avoid erosion and carry the water most directly to the
pond.
I am, also, hopeful that the City Council might understand that at this point my wife
and I need some assistance regarding the clean-up of the most recent flood. We worked
very hard and at considerable expense to clean up our basement and back yard after the
flood this spring. We did that, hoping along with you and Mr. Zdrazil that the newly
installed street grates would alleviate our problem. It is now clear that the problem
is not so easily solved. We would hope that the City would assURe some responsibility
for the water from the entire neighborhood flowing against and around and through our
house. We have neither the financial resources nor the energy to do the clean-up again
entirely on our own.
We like the City of Shorewood. We hope to live here for some time. We will be
grateful for anything that you can do to make that possible.
Thank you!

Woog Alarm Permit and Letter
I have received your request for my comments on the letter written
by Mr. James Woog of 27200 West 62nd Street concerning his false
alarm permit. The alarm ordinance does not specify when alarms are
valid (ie. unauthorized intrusion) but rather when alarms are not
valid (ie. false alarms). The ordinance defines a false alarm as
one caused through mechanical failure, malfunction, improper
installation or negligence of the owner. It is my definite opinion
that the alarms referred to by Mr. Woog are due to the negligence
of the owner. I vehemently disagree with Mr. Woog that a locked or
unlocked door has no bearing on whether the alarm is false or not.
The leaving of unlocked alarmed doors is negligence and is a false
alarm by definition of the ordinance. An alarm system is not
designed to take the place of a locked door. If the doors are not
going to be locked, the alarm should not be turned on by the owner.
Any neighborhood child, solicitor, UPS delivery person, etc. could
accidently or purposely open the door causing an alarm activation
and an unnecessary response by officers of this department. Even
if such alarms were permitted, it is not the responsibility of the
police department to investigate a non-forced entry alarm to
determine who set it off and if determined, to ascertain if such
intrusion was "authorized" by the homeowner. One of the main
purposes of the alarm ordinance was to reduce the intensive, time-
consuming efforts required of the police department by such alarm
systems. These systems have the name Burglar Alarms because their
main purpose is to detect forced entry burglary.
The ordinance also provides for a procedure in which the alarm
owner may submit a written report to me. It then specifies that I
may determine not to charge the alarm owner with a false alarm IF
the alarm was caused by conditions beyond the control of the alarm
owner. Obviously, these alarms could have been prevented by the
alarm owner by merely locking his doors and were therefore well
within his control.
Serving South lAke Minnetonka Communities of Excelsior, GTeenwood, Shorewood and TonkIl Bay
As I was research'" another question raised'" Mr. Woog which I
shall address in ~ next paragraph, I found ~at Mr. Woog should
have been required to get an alarm permit before now. Apparently
our record keeping in this office has a flaw. The alarm file shows
four alarms at this residence (see attached copy) while the
Incident Complaint Report file shows SEVEN false alarms in
approximately one years time (also see attached copies). It
appears that this alarm system is one of those that is the target
of the ordinance (please see State of purpose of the ordinance
which is also attached).
In reference to the report by Mr. Woog of a tree cutting incident
several years ago, I did review the many incidents we have had for
his address and found the incident he refers to. It occurred on
March 20, 1988. Unfortunately it happened so long ago I can not
adequately look into the incident. Had Mr. Wooq contacted me
shortly after the incident, I could address his concerns
knowledgeably. As it is, the primary officer on the case is no
longer employed with this department and the second or backup
officer does not remember the incident. The report indicates it
was a property dispute involving the cutting of wood and it was
resolved. I can not at this time tell you how -it was resolved. It
appears the officer felt it was a property or boundary dispute
which makes it a civil matter.
If you or the Shorewood City Council have any further questions,
please contact me and I will address them immediately.

601.01 : STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The City deems it necessary to pro-
vide for the regulations of alarm systems which are designed to
signal the presence of a hazard requiring urgent attention to which public safety
personnel are expected to respond, in order to protect the public health, safety
and welfare.
The City Council finds that the regulation of alarms is necessary in order to reduce
the increasing frequency of false alarms in the City. The great number of and
increasing frequency of these false alarms requires intensive, time-consuming
efforts by the Public Safety Department and thereby distracts from and reduces
the level of services available to the rest of the community. This diminishes the
ability of the City to promote the general health, welfare and safety of the com-
munity. In consideration for the necessity on the part of the City to provide
numerous public safety services to all segments of the community, without an
undue concentration of public services in one area to work to the detriment of
members of th~ general public, it is hereby decided that the alarm systems shall
be regulated through the permit process described below. .
)
DEFINITIONS: As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the
following terms are defined as follows:
Subd. 1. ALARM SYSTEM: An assembly of equipment and devices (or a single
device such as a solid state unit) arranged to signal the presence of a hazard.
601.02:
)
)
. .
601.02
.
.
601.03
For the purposes of this Chapter, the alarm, when triggered, must be
directly connected to a central monitoring agency which then notifies the
Police and/or Fire Departments of an emergency to which public safety
personnel must respond, or may emit an audible signal which will require
urgent attention and to which public safety personnel are expected to
respond.
(
Subd. 2. ALARM USER: The person, firm, partnership, association, corpora-
tion, company or organization of any kind on whose premises an alarm
system is maintained. "Alarm user" shall include persons occupying dwell-
ing units for residential purposes, but shall not include persons maintaining
alarm systems in automobiles.
(
Subd. 3 . FALSE ALARMS: The activation of an alarm system through
mechanical failure, malfunction, improper installation or the negligence
of the owner or lessee of an alarm system or of his employees or agents.
It does not include activation of the alarm by utility company power
outages (except as set forth below) or by climatic cqnditions such as tor-
nadoes, lightning, earthquakes, other violent conditions of nature, or any
other conditions which are clearly beyond the control of the alarm
manufacturer, installer or owner. Effective August 1, 1987, false alarms
resulting from power outages shall be treated as other false alarms and
counted as false alarms for permit purposes.
(
Subd. 4. PERSON: Any individual, partnership, corporation, association,
cooperative or other entity.
601.03:
PERMITS AND EXEMPTIONS:
Subd. 1. Permit Required: Every alarm user who, during the course of a twelve
(12) month period, incurs more than two (2) false police alarms or more
than one false fire alarm shall be required to obtain an alarm user's permit.
Subd. 2. Review of Permit: The Chief of Police shall review the issuance of all
alarm permits.
Subd. 3. Process for Issuance of Permit: Upon receipt and determination of the
third false police alarm report, or the second false fire alarm report at
an address within a twelve (12) month period, the Chief of Police, after
review, shall notify the City Clerk who shall then assess the alarm user
for an alarm user's permit. The assessment invoice shall be sent by cer-
tified mail. The alarm user must submit the required permit fee to the
City Clerk within ten (10) working days after receipt of the assessment
invoice in order to continue to use his alarm system. Any subsequent false
police or fire alarms at that address within a period of twelve (12) months
from the date of issuance of the permit shall automatically revoke the
permit and the process must then be repeated and a new permit obtain-
ed; except that after six (6) months or more have elapsed since the issuance
of the permit, a single false police alarm shall not revoke the permit.
(

}
Subd. 4. Duration of Permit: All permits, unless otherwise revoked, will expire
twelve (12) months from date of issue.
_ Subd. 5. Exemptions: The provisions of this Chapter are not applicable to audible
alarms affixed to automobiles.
601.04:
FALSE ALARMS, REPORTS REQUIRED:
"
\
Subd. 1. False Alarm Reports: The Chief of Police may, at his discretion, re-
quire a false alarm report to be filed by the alarm user with the Public
Safety Department, within a time period to be specified by the Chief of
Police. If the Chief of Police determines that a false alarm has occurred
at an address, the alarm user at that address may submit a written report
to the Chief of Police to explain the cause of the alarm activation. If the
Chief of Police determines that the alarm was caused by conditions beyond
the control of the alarm user, the alarm will not be counted as a false
alarm at that address.
Subd. 2. False Alarms Excused: False alarms will be excused if they are the result
of an effort or order to upgrade, install, test, or maintain an alarm system
and if the Public Safety Department is given notice in advance of said
upgrade, installation, test and maintenance.
601.05: PROHIBITED CONDITIONS, SYSTEMS UTILIZING TAPED
OR PRERECORDED MESSAGES: No person shall install, mon-
itor or use and possess an operative alarm which utilizes taped or prerecorded
messages which deliver a telephone alarm message to the Police or Fire
Departments.
601.06:
PERMIT FEES:
Subd. 1. Permit Fees: The fees for alarm users' permits shall be as follows:
Police
Fire
$ 50.00
150.00
"
~)
Subd. 2. Requirement of Subsequent Permit: After expiration of an alarm user's
permit, no subsequent permit shall be required until such time as the alarm
user incurs more than two (2) false police alarms, or more than one false
fire alarm within a twelve (12) month period.
)

Safety Department may suspend or revoke any alarm user's permit issued
pursuant to this Chapter if the Public Safety Department finds that any
of the following occur:
a. That any provision or condition of this Chapter has been violated by

b. That an alarm system has actuated an excessive number of false alarms;
c. That the alarm user has knowingly made false statements in or regarding
his application for an alarm user's permit;
d. That the alarm user has failed to correct or remove, within a reasonable
period, violations of this Chapter after receipt of notice to do so;
e. That the continued effectiveness of the alarm user permit constitutes

Re: Speed Zoning
Near Mountain Blvd.
Dear Mr. Whittaker:
'!he speed zoning study of Near Mountain Boulevard requested by the
Shorewood City Council in Resolution 41-90 has been completed. Based on
the study results arrl as discussed with you earlier, we have identified.
two speed zoning alternatives:
1) continue to rely on Minnesota I s statutory 30mph urban district
speed limit by electing not to install speed lilnit signs
2) post a 25 mph speed limit.
It is our judgment that either alternative is feasible arrl selection of
one deperrls on city policy arrl preference. '!herefore, we ask Shorewood
to choose the alternative it prefers. Before making the choice,
however, we suggest consideration of the followin:J factors; same of
which concern speed lilnits in general arrl others concerning Near
Mountain Boulevard.
Speed lilnit signs are a traffic control device best suited to through
streets where they will contribute to srocx>th traffic flow, will serve as
a basis of enforcement against those who drive at a speed considered
unreasonable or unsafe, arrl will inform both m::>torists arrl adjacent
residents of the prevai1in:J speed of traffic. since nnst drivers choose
their speed based on perceived. con:titions (road width arrl surface,
adjacent development, ano.mt of traffic, etc.), a speed limit sign will
not influence the prevai1in:J speed of traffic unless an extraordinary
continuous enforcement effort is made. 'Iherefore, nnst mmicipalities
elect not to post speed lilnits on residential streets where allwst all
traffic consists of local residents who are familiar with con:titions arrl
~E

Page Two
where enforcement activity can be expected to be infrequent. Instead
they rely on Minnesota's statutory speed limits. Two other reasons
mmicipalities elect to rely on statutory speed lilnits are the cost of
installin:J speed limit signs on all streets arrl the confusin:J array of
speed lilnits that can result from each street bein:J speed zoned on its
own merit.
We have not received. the construction plans for Near Mountain Boulevard
frcan OSM as mentioned in your June 1 letter. But based on our study
data, we Y.lOUl.d conclude that stoppin:J sight distances on Near Mountain
Boula"a.l:d are marginally adequate for 30- mp..'1 speed, while intersection
sight distances are less than desirable. In addition, several curves
exist which have maxinum comfortable speed of 15 mph - 20 mph. Although
Near Mountain Boulevard appears to serve primarily as a residential
street, it also has same function as a collector or through street as
evidenced by the fact that all intersectin:J streets are controlled by
stop signs. If you determine the through street fimction is sufficient
to warrant speed signin:J, the first priority should be to install curve
wa.min;J signs with advisory speed plates. '!he second priority would be
to install regulatory speed lilnit signs.
It would also be desirable to have consistent signin:J for all of Near
Mountain Boulevard arrl any speed lilnit should extend frcan Pleasantview
Road to vine Hill Road. C1anhassen did ask for a speed zoning study for
their part of Near Mountain Boulevard in 1988 arrl was offered. the same
alternatives presented to Shorewood. '!hey chose at that time to rely on
Minnesota's statutory 30 mph speed limit.
Please consider the alternatives arrl inform us of Shorewood' s decision.
If you have questions or would like additional infonnation contact Ed
Brown (591-4617) at this office.

RFP for JOINT PROSECUTOR
The SLMPSD Board and the area City Administrators/Manager have been
looking at the advantages/disadvan~ages of a Joint Prosecutor since
late February. The disadvantages are spelled out in detail in the
Memos from the current Prosecutors. And, the advantages are listed
in Chief Young's Memo.
I think they boil down to:
Advantages: Closer relationship with the Police Dept. Chief
Young and his staff would like faster responses, less delay in filing
charges, easier access to the Prosecutor and better communication.
They also think there may be some cost savings.
Disadvantages: The current Prosecutors/City Attonn~ys are con-
cerned that there won't be sufficient "distance" between the police
and the Prosecutor - especially if they are housed in the same building.
The Prosecutor would not be as independent, would not temper normal
police enthusiasm to prosecute, might not feel as free to plea bargain,
and would not consider the unique "sense of justice" each City may
have. And, they argue, that there may be little, if any, cost saving
if the cities have to provide back-up, hire two attorneys to cover all
the cases, and "staff" a law office.
Keeping the office separate from the police - even if combined, should
eliminate this compromising relationship and still save some money. So,
we decided to go ahead and request proposals to find out the level of
interest and to see if we can save some money.
The DRAFT RFP in this packet is the result of this effort. Each City
would have to hire this Prosecutor; so, each City Council in the SLMPSD
has to approve the RFP and the eventual contract, if there is one.
The only corrections suggested by any of the Attorneys are those high-
lighted on the attached page. These are really just amplification and
clarification; so, I'm sure they will meet everyone's criteria.
Please review as much of this as you can; and, if we find a savings, we'll
go into it more. A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore

Mr. Laurence Whittaker
City Clerk-Administrator
City of Shorewood
5755 Country Club Road
Shorewood, MN 55331
Dear Mr. Whittaker:
Every three years Hennepin County must be certified by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development as an urban county to continue to receive an
annual entitlement grant through the Community Development Block Grant program.
The process to gain certification for Fiscal Years 1991, 1992 and 1993 is now
underway. The key element in the process is the execution of a Joint
Cooperation Agreement between the County and each community therein that wishes
to participate in the program and therefore be eligible to undertake important
local activities with CDBG funds.
The accompanying three copies of the Joint Cooperation Agreement for Fiscal
Years 1991, 1992 and 1993, Contract Number A05060, is provided for your
execution should you elect to remain a participant in the Urban Hennepin County
CDBG program for the next three years. A sample resolution for your governing
body to pass to authorize execution of the agreement is included for your
convenience. A certified copy of the authorizing resolution must be returned
with all three copies of the executed agreement by Friday, August 17, 1990 to:
Hennepin County Office of Planning and Development
822 South 3rd Street
Suite 310
Minneapolis, MN 55415
That date is necessary to assure execution by the County Board and transmittal
of a fully executed agreement to HUD by the imposed September 4, 1990 deadline.
One will be returned to you by the same date.
The new agreement incorporates the amendments that were appended to the last
agreement. Also included are several changes to accommodate new requirements
directed by HUD, such as emphasizing affirmative action to further fair housing
and clarifying the relationship between cooperating communities and the County
as subrecipient and recipient.

.
Of most significance is the elimination of the discretionary account. The
unexpended funds which made up the account will now be added to the annual basic
grant and programmed for use along with the development of the annual program.
This change reflects the general improvement in expenditure rate and simplifies
program administration.
Should your community wish to remain in the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program
for Fiscal Years 1991, 1992 and 1993, it need only pass a facsimile of the
sample resolution, execute the agreement and return them as instructed. Should
it decide not to execute the agreement it would not receive CDBG funding through
the Urban Hennepin County program beginning with Fiscal Year 1991.
We look forward to your continued participation with us in the CDBG program.
Sincerely,
M ~&(W"\N"

MEMO

MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM:
M.. ROLEK
DATE:
JULY 3. 1990
RE:
PERA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
The State Legislature. in its last session. created a new pension plan
under PERA. called the Defined Contribution Plan. This plan is open only
to elected public officials. There is no minimum monthly earnings level
to be met. and all elected public officials. with the exception of county
sheriffs. are eligible for membership.
Officials participating in the plan would contribute five percent of gross
earnings into the plan. which would be matched by the governmental unit.
This money is invested. at the discretion of the participant. in anyone
of six investment options available through the Minnesota Supplemental
Investment Fund. Federal and state income taxes are deferred on all
contributions and on any investment income until the funds are withdrawn.
Participation in this plan is totally optional. An elected official may
choose to participate at any time while holding elected office. In
addition. an official may elect to "buy back" service credit in the plan
for previous years' service. up to 25% of the annual remuneration for
their office. Once an official opts to participate. they must continue in
the plan until they leave office or become permanently disabled.
I am enclosing a brochure from PERA explaining the Defined Contribution
Plan. Please read it and let me know if you have an interest in the
plan. As this is budget time. it is appropriate to consider this item
when preparing our 1991 budget.
Please let me

Retirement Plan Alternatives For
Local Minnesota Elected Officials
UA
~~~tion passed in the last session of the
. esota Legislature permits elected officials in
Minnesota to participate in the Public Employees
Retirement Association's (PERA) Defined
Contnbution Plan, or DCP. Officials who enroll in
the Defined Contnbution Plan will contnbute 5
percent of subsequent earnings and their employers
will contnbute an identical amount. DCP participants
may also pay past contributions on uncovered elective
service, if they have it, and invest those contributions
in the DCP. As always, elected officials who earn
more than $425 a month may enroll in the PERA
Coordinated Plan. In addition, under provisions of
the new law, officials who are or become members of
PERA's Coordinated or Basic Retirement Plans may
purchase past uncovered elective service at actuarial
cost.
The new law opens the Dermed Contnbution Plan
to all local elected officials in Minnesota, except
elected county sheriffs, whether or not the elected offi-
cials are presently enrolled in the PERA Coordinated
or Basic Plan. Officials will have an opportunity to en-
roll in either the DCP or Coordinated Plan, but not
both. Elected officials currently in the Basic or Coor-
dinated Plan have from July 1. 1990 to June 30, 1991
to elect to participate in the Defmed Contnbution
Plan. There is no time limit on enrollment in the DCP
for officials who are not presently PERA members.
The purpose of this brochure is to explain the
options available to elected officials. It also describes
PERA's Dermed Contribution and Coordinated
Plans, and the steps to be taken to purchase past ser-
vice or pay past contributions.
Options For Elected Omcials
The options available to elected officials generally
depend upon whether the official has elected service
prior to the present position, whether the official is
currently a member of PERA's Basic or Coordinated
Plan, and whether the official elects to participate in
the Defined Contnbution Plan, the Coordinated (or
Basic) Plan, or refrains from PERA membership en-
tirely. . .
Current Officials With Past
Elected Service
Officials presently holding elective office who have
prior service as elected officials have a number of al-
ternatives, depending upon whether they choose to
enroll in the Defined Contribution Plan or begin or
continue in the Coordinated (or Basic) Plan.
Officials Presently Enrolled In PERA
May Elect DCP
Elected officials presently members of PERA's Coor-
dinated or Basic Plans may join the Defined
Contribution Plan between July 1, 1990 through June
30, 1991. Enrollment in the DCP terminates the Basic
or Coordinated membership. The participant will pay
contn'butions of 5 percent of all future earnings into
the Defined Contn'bution Plan; the employer will
match-those contnbutions. Because Coordinated (or
Basic) membership has ended, the official has the fol-
lowing options:
. If the official has 3 or more years of service, the
official has 2 alternatives: 1)PERA contributions
may be left with PERA. This will entitle the
official to collect a deferred PERA annuity as
early as age 55. .At the time of the deferral, an
annuity is computed based upon the individual's
average salary and years of service. This annuity
is then increased by 3 percent annually to the fast
of the year following age 55, and by 5 percent
annually after that. Or 2) the official may apply
for a refund of employee contnbutions plus 6
percent interest compounded annually.
. Or, if the official has less than three years of
service, the official may apply for a refund of
employee contnbutions plus 6 percent interest
compounded annually. The taking of the refund
dissolves the individual's right to a pension or
disability or survivor benefit. -
.
". The new DCP participant with prior elected
service may also have the following additional option:
If the official has service in elected office (either
the currently held position or a previously. held posi_
tion) which was not covered by PERA (in other
words, the official had not made PERA contnbutions
at all on this- service), the official may pay all or part
of these past contributions and put them into the
Defined Contnbution Plan. .
Officials Electing Or Remaining In The
Coordinated or Basic Plan
Officials presently enrolled in PERA who have prior
elected service (either in the currently held office, or
in a previously held office) and who choose to remain
in the Coordinated (or Basic) Plan will make Coor-
dinated contributions of 4.23 percent on future salary
and their employer will match that percentage and
contnbute an additional.25 percent of salary. (Basic
members and employers contribute 8.23 and 10.73
percent respectively.) These officials will also have
one or more of the following options:
. The official may purchase prior uncovered
service credit. The purchase requires that
PERA compute the additional pension amount
that will be paid as a result of the purchase of
service credit. PERA uses actuarial tables to
determine the current value of the additional
pension. If the member meets requirements, the
member may purchase all or part of the
uncovered service and may make annual
payments over five years.
. The official may repay a PERA refund, if he or
she received a refund at termination of a
previous public position. In repaying a refund,
the member purchases prior covered service.
The member must repay the actual refund
amount with interest at 6 percent compounded
annually. If repaid, prior service credit is
restored and the member will receive a larger
pension at retirement as a result.
Omcials Not Presently Enrolled In A
PERA Plan
Officials currently holding elective office who have
elected not to enroll in PERA's Coordinated or Basic
Plan may continue to remain out of those plans and
the DCP as well.
.
'.,
'I
Omcials Elected In The Future
The opportunities afforded newly elected officials
(without prior elective service) depend upon whether
the officials choose to enroll in the Defined Contribu-
tion Plan or the Coordinated (or Basic) Plan, or
remain out of PERA. Future elected officials not en-
rolled in the Coordinated plan may:
. As in the past, elect to enroll in the Coordinated
Plan if they are earning or will earn more than
$425 in a month. Officials will pay 4.23 percent
of salary to PERA; their employers will match
that 4.23 percent and pay an additional share of
.25 percent, for a total employer contnbution of
4.48 percent of employee salary. Once enrolled
in the Coordinated Plan, members may withdraw
from participation only upon termination of that
elective office.
. Enroll in PERA's DerIDed Contnbution Plan.
Upon enrollment, the participant ~ contribute
5 percent of earnings to the plan. This. 5. percent
will be matched by the employer. PartICIpants
need not meet a minimum earnings level to
enroll in the DCP. Once enrolled in DCP,
members must contribute to the plan until
termination of elective office.
. Remain out of PERA entirely. Present or new
officials may elect to participate in either the
DCP or the Coordinated Plan at any point in the
future while in elected office.
Individuals Not Presently Holding Office
The law that created the Defined Contribution
Plan for elected officials does not apply to persons
not presently in elective office, but who' have held
elective office in the past. It also does not apply to
current PERA members who are not presently in
elective office
PERARetirees In Elected Office
PERA retirees may hold elective office and emoll
in the Defined Contribution Plan. Participation in
DCP does not affect retirees' benefits. .

.
Facts About .The Defined
Contribution Plan
The Defined ContnoutiOD Plan operates much
like a savings plan. CoDtributions are made by
employees and matched by employers"and are in.
vested in accounts of the Minnesota SupplemeDtal
Investment Fund selected by the participating
elected official. Contributions are used to purchase
shares in the accounts selected. The value of ac-
counts increase ( or decrease) as the value of the
shares purchased increase and as shares pay either
dividends or interest.
The investment account options available to par-
ticipants are described in the enclosed Minnesota
Supplemental Investment Fund Prospectus.
Elected Officials Eligible To Participate
Except for elected county sheriffs who are
specifically excluded, participation in the DCP is
open to all elected local government officials in Min-
nesota. However, elected officials cannot
participate in the plan if they are already members
of the Public Employees Retirement Association's
Coordinated or Basic plans (or any other employer.
paid pension plan) because of elective employment.
(There is a one.year window period of July 1, 1990,
through June 30, 1991, in which elected officials who
belong to the Basic or Coordinated Plans may elect
to terminate that membership and enroll in the
DCP.)
Elected officials eligible to elect the DCP include,
but are not limited to, school board members, couo.
ty attorneys, city council members, county
commissioners, township supervisors, county
auditors, and county treasurers. DCP Participation
is open to elected officials regardless of the level of
their earnings.
Cost or Participation
Participants in the Defined CoDtnbution Plan con.
tnoute 5 perceDt of earnings; their employers match
that 5 percent. Contributions are paid on salary
.
which, for the purposes of the Defined Contribution
Plan, is the same as salary for PERA'~ Basic, Coor.
dinated, and Police and rrre Funds. Therefore, salary
includes compensation for services rendered or labor
performed. Moreover, deductions are to be taken on
used vacation and sick leave and on retroactive pay.
Salary does not encompass reimbursement for or pay.
ment of expenses. Also, salary does not include
payIDeDt for unused vacation or sick leave. Unlike
PERA's Basic, Coordinated, and Police and rrre
Plans, for elected officials who have chosen to par-
ticipate, coDtnbutions are taken regardless of earnings
level. In other words, participants need not earn more
than $425 per month in order to participate in the
Defined ContnbutioD Plan.
As statute authorizes, PERA deducts two percent
of employer contributions to help defray the cost of
administering the plan.
Benefits Earned In The Defined
Contribution Plan
Participants are paid the value of their accounts in
the DCP as a lump sum at death, retirement (at any
age), or termination of employment. The lump sum
payment is the actual value of the shares held plus ac.
cumulated interest or dividends earned by those
shares. At termination or retirement, payments are
made to the participant 30 days after application. Or,
the participant may leave contributions invested, roll
the payment over into another qualified plan, or direct
PERA to remit payment to an insurance company
licensed by the state and selected by the participant
for the purpose of purchasing an annuity. At death,
payment is made to named beneficiaries. If there are
no beneficiaries on record, payment will be made to
the deceased participant's legal heirs.
Withdrawals Upon Permanent Disability
A DCP participant may withdraw funds from the
Defined Contnoution Plan if he Or she becomes per.
manently disabled. Withdrawals may be made in
equal monthly installments in increments of $100.
Also, withdrawals may Dot exceed ten percent of the
joint employer and employee contnbutions for the
month preceding disability. To collect disability pay-
ments, participants must file an application with
PERA. In addition, PERA must certify that impair.
3
.
ment meets the statutory definition of disability, that
disability is expected to be greater than one year in
duration, and that disability will prevent performance
of full time employment. Payment begins on the first
day of the month following the month in which the dis-
ability occurred. Payments end when the
participant's disabled status ends or the account
balance is exhausted, whichever occurs first.
Taxes Dererred On Contributions
Federal and state income taxes on contnoutions
made to the Defined Contnbution Plan and earnings
on DCP investments are deferred to the time of
withdrawal. Withdrawal occurs when lump sum pay-
ments are made at death, termination of employment,
or retirement, or when partial payments are made
upon permanent disability.
Enrollment In The Defined
Contribution Plan
Elected officials demonstrate their desire to enroll
in the DCP by completing a PERA Defined Contnbu-
tion Plan membership form. Enrollment is effective
on the first day of the month after the membership
form is received in the PERA office, or on the date
when the term of office commences, whichever date
is later. Contnoutions are to be computed on all
qualified salary earned from the effective date of en-
rollment.
Employee and employer contnbutions are to be
paid to PERA monthly. Contnoutions are submitted
along with a Defined Contnbution Deduction
Report. This Deduction Report is a three-part docu-
ment. The original is salmon in color, the first copy,
white, and the second copy, yellow. The salmon and
white copies are to be submitted to PERA when pay-
ments are made. The employer is to retain the yellow
copy.
The PERA Coordinated Plan
Elected officials may join the PERA Coordinated
Retirement Plan if they earn more than $425 per "
month. Coordinated members contnDute 4.23 per-
cent of earnings to PERA. Employers match
.
employee contnbutions and pay an additional .25 per-
cent of salary to PERA.
Employers must report earnings and contributions
on a Salary Deduction Report. These reports "and
payments of employee and employer contributions
must be submitted to PERA each time employees are
paid. Complete det3.iLs about how contributions are
reported arid paid'tan be found in PERA's Reporting
Manual For Payroll and Personnel Officers.
Under the Coordinated Plan, members earn a pen-
sion based upon the number of years they contnbuted
on public employment and a percentage of their
average salary (five highest consecutive years).
Specific rules with regard to.age and number of years
of service govern when members may retire and the
amount of their pensions. Members may retire as
early as age 55 with 3 years of service, but their pen-
sion will be reduced for early retirement. The
Coordinated Plan also provides disability and sur-
vivor benefits. These benefits and complete
retirement options are discussed in the enclosed
brochure, "Your Benefits With PERA, Information
For Coordinated Members.w
Options For Officials With Past
Elective Service
Officials Enrolled In DCP May Pay Past
Contributions
Elected officials who exercise their option to par-
ticipate in the Dermed Contribution Plan and who
have previous uncovered service as an elected official
may pay contnbutions on that past service and invest
them in the Defined Contnoution Plan. Uncovered
service is service as an elected official for which the
elected official could have, but did not, elect to be-
come a member of PERA's Coordinated or Basic
Retirement Plans. Contnbutions may not be made on
service covered by a public or private employer con-
tnbutory pension plan, including PERA's Basic,
Coordinated, or Police and rrre Plans. This means
that DCP participants who had previous PERA ser-
vice as an elected official, and who took a refund of
employee contnbutions at termination of this elected
position, may not repay these contnbutioJ1S and invest
them in the Dermed Contnbution Plan.
4
.
. '. The amount of past contnbutions are computed
using the Coordinated or BaSic contribution rates in
effect at the time the service was rendered. If the par-
ticipant chooses to pay these past contributions, the
participant's employer will be obligated to pay the
corresponding employer contribution applicable at
the time along with the employer additional share in
effect, if any. Payment of these past contributions
also requires payment of 6 percent interest com- '
pounded annually.
Participants may choose to pay all or part of these
past contributions. Also, payments may be made in
annual installments. The amount of past contribu-
tions that can be paid in any given year will be limited
to 15 percent of current income. The Internal
Revenue Service limits contributions to tax deferred .
plans in a given year to 25 percent of current income.
Because ten percent (5 percent by the participant and
5 percent by the employer) of current earnings are
going into the Defined Contnbution Plan, past con-
tributions are limited to 15 percent of current income.
For 1990, the first year of the plan's operation, past
contnbutions will be limited to 7.5 percent (one half
of 15 percent) of current income.
Omcials In The Coordinated Plan May.
Purchase Prior Service Credit
Purchases of prior service can be made by elected of-
ficials who are or become members ofPERA's Basic
or Coordinated Plans and who have previous un-
. covered elected service. In purchasing prior service,
members pay for the increase in pension that will be
paid at retirement because additional service credits
were purchased. Elected officials in the Coordinated
or Basic Plans may have two ways to make such a pur-
chase. One way is to purchase the service credits that
could have been, but were not, earned had the official
elected to participate in a PERA plan while in
elected office. The other way is to repay a refund, if a
refund was issued following termination of past public
employment covered by a PERA plan.
Purchase Of Past Uncovered Service
To be eliglble to purchase prior service, several condi-
tions must be met:
(1) an elected official must have served previously in
a PERA-eliglble elected position;
(2) the elected official must have chosen not to
exercise his or her option to pay PERA contri-
butions on earnings from this elected position; and
, '-." ':'_4.~ - _..... ~~~J' ~.... ~'~'..;.;_,-~_._,.:.-.-.
.
(3) the official's past compensation must have met the
PERA earnings threshold in effect at the time.
If all of these conditions are met, the official may pur-
chase prior service. The purchase price is the amount
of funds that must be set aside now to pay for the ad-
ditional pension t1iat will be paid at retirement. The
price of the additional pension 'depends upon the
official's current age, projected average salary, and
years of service. The calculation assumes that funds
used to make the purchase will be invested and earn
interest until retirement. A simplified example will
help illustrate how purchase of prior service works.
Mary Jones is an elected county official whose term
began two years ago. Mary chose not to join PERA
at the beginning of her term. However, she changed
her mind and has decided to begin contributing to the
Coordinated Fund. Ten years ago Mary served a two-
year term in another county elective position, but
chose not to participate in PERA at that time. To cal-
culate the cost of prior service, PERA performs two
computations. FIrst, PERA estimates the value of the
pension Mary will earn on her present job, assuming
that she does not purchase any past service. PERA
uses Mary's present age (32) and salary level to es-
timate that her pension will be $888 per month at
retirement.
Next, PERA adds 4 years (two years from her un-
covered service in her former position and 2 years of
her uncovered service from her present position) of
service credit to the formula. The total pension at
retirement is projected to be $1,025 per m:onth with
the addition of 4 years of service. The increase in pen-
sion is $137 per month ($1,025 - 888 = $137). If
purchased, this $137 increase in pension will be paid
for Mary's expected lifetime (that is from retirement
to death). PERA uses actuarial tables to determine
that $13,657 must be invested now in order to pay
$137 per month for Mary's expected lifetime. This
$13,657 is the cost of purcha$:ing prior service. Offi-
cials may purchase all or part of their prior service
and pay interest at 6 percent compounded annually.
Also, prior service may be paid as a single lump sum
or in annual installments over five years. Employers
may, at their discretion, pay a portion of the cost of
the prior service. Payment options and the specific
procedures for payment of past contn"butions into the
DCP are discussed on the next page.

.
. .
Repayment Of Refund
Repaying a refund restores service credits forfeited
when the refund was taken. To repay a refund, the
member must pay the amount of the refund itself
along with 6 percent interest ~mpounded annually.
The earliest a refund may be repaid is 18 months after
reinstatement as a PERA member. The latest a
refund can be repaid is 6 months following retirement.
Procedures For Purchases
The following paragraphs set forth the steps
that must be taken to pay past contributions or pur-
chase prior service.
Only officials who elect to come into the Defined
Contnbution Plan may make past contn'butions on un-
covered service. And only officials who are or
become members of the Coordinated or Basic Plans
may purchase prior service at actuarial cost or repay
a refund.
1. Elected officials interested in m~1ring a purchase
should contact their employers to obtain a form
entitled "Record of Annual Earnings for Elected
Officials"
2. PERA has mailed these annual earnings forms to
all known PERA employers in Minnesota. The
form may also be obtained by ca1ling the PERA
office and asking for the Benefits Department.
.
3. The employer must supply annual calendar-year
salary paid to the official in the years of uncovered
elected service. The form also calls for:
. name of official,
. current address,
. beginning and ending dates of terms of office,
. date of birth,
. Social Security number,
. PERA number, if any,
. spouse's name, if any, and birth date,
. name and address of the governmental
employer, and .
. projected retirement date (onJy for officials
interested in purchasing prior service).
4. Upon completion, the employer should submit the
earnings record form to the PERA office.
5. Upon receipt, PERA will compute the total cost
to purchase prior service, payment of past
contnbutions, or both and mail these figures to the
elected official. The letter will supply instructions
to employers and elected officials about how
payments are to be submitted.
6. Officials will need to indicate whether they wish
to pay all or a portion of the amount of past
contributions or past service. Officials who want
to arrange for installment payments should phone
the PERA office to make those arrangements.
