PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD — Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. VI.A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, PRELIMINARY REZONING, AND PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR FRAUENSHUH COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE. 5125, 5105, 5 10 1, AND 5108 EDINA INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD AND 7700 NORMANDALE BOULEVARD — RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -82 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN — ADOPTED; AND RESOLUTION 2014- 83 FOR PRELIMINARY REZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN — ADOPTED Community Development Director Presentation Community Development Director Teague presented the request of Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate to tear down the existing 12,199 square -foot office building and build a new 10,000 square -foot retail center that would include a coffee shop with drive - through at 5108 Edina Industrial Boulevard, just west of Highway 100. It Page 2 Minutes /Edina City Council /August 4. 2014 was noted that to accommodate this request, the following would be required: Preliminary Rezoning from POD -I; Planned Office District -I to PCD -2 Planned Commercial District -2; Preliminary Development Plan with consideration of Front Yard Setback Variance from 35 to 30 and 25 feet; and, Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Office to Neighborhood Commercial. Mr. Teague stated the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval subject to findings and conditions as detailed in the staff memorandum dated July 23, 2014 and referencing plans dated June and July 2014. Ap6l9—,24�4j Mr. Teague answered questions of the Council relating to the position of the building, setbacks, and size of boulevard. Proponent Presentation Dave Anderson, Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate, described site plan revisions that addressed issues raised to improve circulation and customer /tenant/employee access. He indicated they would develop an appropriate and thoughtful landscaping plan that would not block signage as that was of particular interest. Nick Sperides, Sperides, Reiners Architects, presented the revised site plan depicting the building location and a sidewalk pedestrian - friendly feature (art, color, light) space. He noted the location of a turn lane, within an easement area, that would not accommodate boulevard trees. Mr. Sperides stated the plan was for a 5 -foot sidewalk with a 12 -foot boulevard to the curb. The Council found that a wider boulevard provided additional pedestrian safety and suggested an undulating sidewalk alignment with landscaping that incorporated trees, plantings, and rocks to create a better pedestrian experience. Mr. Sperides indicated that more trees were proposed to be planted than required by Code. He described the location for receipt of deliveries and the trash enclosure in the northeast corner. With regard to the parking requirement that was somewhat dependent on use, Mr. Teague explained that each use would be considered on a case -by -case basis. Mr. Sperides noted the site would accommodate a lot of pedestrian traffic and the proposed parking met Code requirements so it was thought that parking would not be a problem. Mr. Teague confirmed the proposed plan met Code requirements. Mr. Sperides answered questions of the Council relating to view and screening of rooftop mechanicals, pedestrian connections between buildings, and building location that better engaged the street. Engineer Millner noted this was an industrial park area so requiring a curb extension /pedestrian landing would impact the turning radius for trucks and the placement of bollards to protect the traffic signals. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared to comment. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Sprague, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Member Swenson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2014 -82, Approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Properties located on Edina Industrial Boulevard, based on the following findings: I. The proposed land uses are consistent with existing and proposed land uses in this area. The uses to the south exist today as neighborhood commercial ues. The proposed limited, retail uses and PCD -2 zoning would complement and enhance this limited retail area. 2. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the properties to the south is really a housekeeping item, as it was mistakenly guided for industrial use. 3. Neighborhood Commercial is defined as small to moderate -scale commercial, serving primarily adjacent neighborhoods. Primary uses are retail and services, offices, studios, Page 3 Minutes /Edina City Council /August 4. 2014 institutional use. Existing uses in this area include a gas station, limited retail and convenience food. All are permitted uses within the PCD -2 and PCD -4 Zoning Districts. 4. The proposal would meet the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies: a. Building Placement and Design. Where appropriate, building facades should form a consistent street will that help to define the street and enhance the pedestrian environment. b. Movement Patterns. • Provide sidewalks along primary streets and connections to adjacent neighborhoods along secondary streets or walkways. • A Pedestrian - Friendly Environment. . c. Encourage infill /redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of City infrastructure and that complement area, neighborhood, and /or corridor context and character. d. Support and enhance commercial areas that serve the neighborhoods, the City, and the larger region. e. Buildings should be placed in appropriate proximity to streets to create pedestrian scale. S. The traffic study done by Wenck concludes that the existing roadways can support the proposed project. Member Bennett seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Member Swenson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2014 -83, Approving Preliminary Rezoning from POD -I, Planned Office District, to PCD -2, Planned Commercial District, for 5108 Edina Industrial Boulevard, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Final Development Plans must be generally consistent with the Preliminary Development Plans dated June 6, 2014. 2. The Final Landscape Plan must meet all minimum landscaping requirements per Chapter 36 of the City Code. 3. The Final Lighting Plan must meet all minimum landscaping requirements per Chapter 36 of the City Code. 4. Compliance with all of the conditions outlined in the engineering memo dated July 15, 2014. 5. Approval of the requested Front Yard Setback Variances. 6. The patio space shall be re- apportioned to provide more space between the building and Edina Industrial Boulevard. 7. The proposed landscaping shall be increased, and should include consideration of additional plantings along the building; and boulevard trees along Edina Industrial Boulevard, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Member Brindle seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VI.B. FINAL SITE PLAN REVIEW, MULTIPLE VARIANCES AND PRELIMINARY PLAT, MESABA CAPITAL, 7151 YORK AVENUE, RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -84 —ADOPTED Community Development Director Presentation . Mr. Teague presented the request of Mesaba Capital to build a four -story 100 -unit senior assisted living building west of the existing Yorktown Continental Senior Living apartments at 7151 York Avenue. If approved, the housing would include 70 units of senior housing with services, 30 memory care units, with 10% being workforce housing for residents below 50% median income level. Mr. Teague displayed the proposed site plan and noted the revisions made since sketch plan to address issues raised by the City Council. It was noted that to accommodate this request, the following land use applications were required: Site Plan review to construct the new four -story building; Front Yard Setback Variance from 46 feet to 20 feet; Density Variance to allow 364 total units on the site from 182 units allowed under current zoning (the existing building has vas Page 4 Minutes /Edina City Council /August 4, 2014 nonconforming with 264 units); Parking Variance from 194 exposed and 91 enclosed spaces to 162 exposed and 64 enclosed; Variances to allow one - bedroom units under 500 square feet and two - bedroom units over 850 square feet; and, Preliminary Plat. Mr. Teague stated the Planning Commission's motion to approve the site plan and variances failed on a 3 -3 vote and it unanimously recommended approval of the Final Plat. He described the Planning Commission's recommended conditions and plan revisions made by the proponent to address concerns such as sidewall articulation, front entrance off the sidewalk, upgrades to the York Avenue bus stop, and providing a statement of how the project would meet the State's Energy Goal of over 10 %. Mr. Teague answered questions of the Council relating to the requirement to meet ADA parking standards and proof -of- parking plan. He described how 30 additional parking stalls could be added along the green strip to the north. With regard to the Density Variance, Mr. Teague explained the Comprehensive Plan allowed a provision for the Council to exceed 30 units per acre for senior housing only if the project met certain criteria. Mr. Teague stated staff recommended approval of the site plan and requested variances as it was comfortable with how the project engaged the street and provision of extra green space between the buildings, assuming there were no utilities under the 30 -foot easement. Concern was expressed related to the proposed density and anticipated movement between buildings as each would have different management and,fee structures. In addition, the ten units dedicated as affordable would be studio and one - bedroom units.. Proponent Presentation Della Koplin, Mesaba Capital Partners, described the project goals, six guiding principles, and presented the proposed site plan, noting the three unique environments: the boulevard on the front of York Avenue; interior courtyard with amenities and landscaping environments; and, the 'back yard' with ponds, native landscaping, gazebo, raised gardens, and one - eighth mile walking trail. Ms. Koplin reviewed elements within the landscaping plan. Eliana Carter, RSP Architects, presented project plans for the garage, first, second, third, and fourth floors. She explained that the studio units exceed 500 square feet and only the memory care studio units would be part of the variance. Ms. Carter described exterior elevations including rooftop mechanicals and addressed how the project would exceed sustainability goals and meet parking requirements. Tim Getty, Health Dimension Group, stated Premier Management was the current management company for Yorktown. He described licensure and provision of services allowing age -in -place care packages. Mr. Getty stated there would be 36 -37 employees on the property, broken into three shifts over a 24 -hour period. He explained that Premiere Management would manage the building and Health Dimensions Group would establish practices and procedures during the start up. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:32 p.m. Public Testimon Ann Kieffer, 7151 York Avenue S., Yorktown Continental Apartment 408, addressed the Council. Daniel Spear, 7151 York Avenue S., Yorktown Continental Apartment 1202, addressed the Council. Sunny Lenzo, 7151 York Avenue S., Yorktown Continental Apartment 508, addressed the Council. Joann Macomb, 7151 York Avenue S., Yorktown Continental Apartment 1 1 12, addressed the Council. Nina Flanders, 7151 York Avenue S., Yorktown Continental Apartment 1 1 14, addressed the Council. Bernice Brown, 7151 York Avenue S., Yorktown Continental Apartment 708, addressed the Council. Sarah Amaden, 7200 York Avenue S., Apartment 304, addressed the Council. Page 5 Minutes /Edina City Council /August 4, 2014 Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Sprague, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Mr. Millner and Chuck Rickert of WSB Engineering, addressed questions raised during public testimony relating to utility service and traffic analysis finding the existing roadway could handle anticipated traffic volume. With regard to the workforce housing units, David Dye, Yorktown Continental, stated within the 100 units; 10 units would be held for individuals at an annual income of $34,_000 or $39,000 for two individuals. He explained that during the renovation project at Yorktown Continental, for every 12 units, individuals from 8 units would have to move to new units. He assured the Council that the trash receptacle location would not be moved and the parking would be centralized. Mr. Dye stated if approved, the program spaces would not be impacted but would be refurbished with the kitchen reduced in size, yet functional. It was proposed to provide 140 surface parking spaces plus 9 handicapped parking spaces and proof -of- parking for 33 additional spaces. The Council reviewed correspondence relating to increase in permissible rents. Mr. Dye indicated that of the 264 units, 179 units were covered under Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) administered by Minnesota Housing. The current HAP contract would expire October 1, 2014, the end of a 20 -year contract period. At the end of 20 years, the building owner would either renew the contract or not renew the contract. Mr. Dye indicated they were currently in negotiation for a new contract for the 179 units and regardless of the rent rates, the Section 8 tenants would pay the exact same amount of money paid today. Section 236 units would not be subsidized in the same way and those rents of $493 per month might increase to $800, per month. However, due to housing preservation vouchers from Washington D.C., the rent payments might actually be less in what the tenant pays. Mr. Dye explained that if they do not get the vouchers, any Section 236 unit rent increase would be per the regulatory agreement with HUD limited to no greater than 10% per year. The Council reviewed past consideration relating to projects with HUD controlled rents. Mr. Dye described the HAP renewal and mortgage process and affirmed that Yorktown Continental wanted to continue to offer housing for Section 8 and Section 236 residents. Mr. Dye answered questions of the Council related to three times per week trash removal, deliveries at the new front entrance, traffic circulation, uncovered sidewalk location, and proposal for a covered access to York Avenue. Ms. Carter addressed the east view and comment relating to the potential loss of nature. Concern was expressed that two rows of mature trees would be removed to create additional parking and the area for proof -of- parking was also in an area of mature trees to the south. Ms. Koplin, Mr. Dye, and Ms. Carter addressed questions of the Council including those relating to communal activities, position of the proposed building facing York Avenue that would create a courtyard, enhancement of green space, centralized parking, location of utilities, and appearance of the building fagade from the courtyard. The Council asked the proponent to submit additional detail for the east elevation, provide additional landscaping of the street side beyond turf to incorporate perennial treatments, and submit more detail on the York Avenue entrance itself. Member Swenson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2014 -84, Approving a Site Plan with Variances and Preliminary Plat to Build a Four -Story 100 -Unit Senior Living Apartment at 71 S I York Avenue, subject to the following conditions: I.

He then presented the sketch plan request to maintain the two residential units in the basement or lower level; maintain the four units on the first floor; and, remodel the three units on the third floor into office space. Mr. Duffy recounted the extensive and high - quality renovations that have been completed and nearby park amenity. Mr. Duffy stated this building had been scheduled for demolition prior to its purchase by Mr. O'Brien who refurbished and repurposed its use. He described how the building was being used, finding it provided a transition between commercial and residential houses. Jerry O'Brien, owner of 4121 West 50th Street, noted the requested use was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. He displayed photographs of the building pre- renovation and stated the building had been successfully used by local residents as transitional housing. Attorney Mattick advised the Code does not differentiate between short -term stays as opposed to longer -term stays. Mr. O'Brien answered questions of the Council relating to parking requirements, use of parking spaces by tenants, and options for off -site parking spaces. It was noted that accommodating this request would require a rezoning from PRD -4, Planned Residential District -4, to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to write a specific zoning ordinance to allow the proposed uses for this site. The Council thanked Mr. O'Brien for the high - quality renovations made to the building. Following discussion of the 4121 West 50th Street sketch plan, a majority of the Council expressed reluctance to reintroduce a commercial use based on concern that it would change the character of the area through intensification of use. The Council offered the following comments: lack of flee44_e Pr� adequate on -site parking spaces; g e ff to par-king (if �a�a�: _ __ _ preference for long -term leases for the existing well- appointed apartments; and, public benefit justification needed publiE _ ben _ (sustainability, affordable housing, pedestrian streetscape) for PUD consideration.

Page 9 MINUTES OF THE WORK SESSION OF THE EDINA CITY COUNCIL HELD AT CITY HALL AUGUST 4, 2014 S:00 P.M. Acting Mayor Swenson called the meeting to order at 5:03 p.m. in the Community Room of City Hall. ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Members Bennett, Brindle and Acting Mayor Swenson. Mayor Hovland entered the meeting at 5:05 p.m. Member Sprague entered the meeting at 5:16 p.m. Staff attending the meeting included: Lindy Crawford, City Management Fellow; Ann Kattreh, Park & Recreation Director; Karen Kurt, Assistant City Manager; Debra Mangen, City Clerk; Chad Millner, Engineering Director; Scott Neal, City Manager; and Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager. Also in attendance were consultants, Jeff and Kathy Schoenbauer. Acting Mayor Swenson noted the purpose of the work session was to receive an update on the Fred Richards Redesign process and to hold a joint work session with the Human Rights and Relations Commission. FRED RICHARDS REDESIGN Director Kattreh and the Schoenbauers presented a report on the Fred Richards Repurpose process, reviewing the steps in the process and an overall schedule. They reviewed what has taken place to date and the schedule culminating in City Council review and approval in the fall of 2014. The common themes from work with the Park Board and public meetings were shared and a conceptual master plan was presented. The plan included "passive" and "active" zones, with meandering hills, wetlands, and mature trees of all types. The plan also included a walking loop that might offer many different activities along the route, from picnic areas, to grassy play areas, bird watching/nature areas, and reflection /seating areas. The active zones were shown on the east end, closer to parking and concessions /park shelter building, and would consist of playgrounds, adventure zones for older kids, and athletic fields for soccer, lacrosse and other emerging sports. The northern section (currently known as Lake Edina Park) was depicted as an urban farm area, but after talking through the potential intensity of that use, and the parking needed to support it, the consensus was to keep that area more passive. recreational field space. There was also discussion of making sure that playgrounds moved further north to provide more immediate access to neighborhood children in the Parkland and Cornelia neighborhoods. Finally, the regional trail would wind its way along the southern edge of the parkland as imagined, and then go north and east towards Parklawn. Council gave feedback relating to various components of the repurposed design. JOINT SESSION EDINA HUMAN RIGHTS & RELATIONS COMMISSION Human Rights & Relations Commission members attending the meeting were: Patricia Arsenault, Arnie Bigbee, John Cashmore, Laura Davis, Derek Carter, Ellen Kennedy, Tiffany Sanders, Steve Winneck and Chair Jan Seidman. 2014 Work Plan Progress Commissioners presented the Bias Offense Response and Prevention Plan.

The maximum two hour pedestrian count observed, from June 6th to June 8th, was 26 crossings at 3:15 to 5:15 PM on June 7`h, which meets warrants according to City crosswalk policy (see Appendix A). Map: Olinger Blvd and Jeff PI No crashes at this intersection have been reported for the last five years. After review, staff recommends installation of a marked and signed crosswalk at this location. With it scheduled to be placed during roadwork this year. A3. Request for a street identifier sign for Vernon Lane at Vernon Avenue This request is on the behalf of the Olde Vernon Homeowner's Association. Requestor states that it is difficult for people to find homes in this area as there is no street sign identifying Vernon Lane at its intersection with Vernon Ave. There are brick monument signs at the entrances identifying the street. After review, staff recommends approval for adding street identification signs to the intersections of Vernon Lane and Vernon Avenue.

Request for stop signs at the intersection of Point Drive and Balfanz Road Requestor believes that this uncontrolled intersection is dangerous and should have stop signs. This intersection is in a neighborhood of mixed traffic Fm control. The surrounding neighborhood has sixteen uncontrolled intersections and € twelve controlled intersections (11 with stop signs, 1 with yield signs). The intersection has had one accident reported in the last five Photo: Point Dr. and Balfanz Rd. looking south. years (2010, a right -angle crash, property damage only). An intersection study was performed, and data was retrieved for the west and south legs of the intersection, the east leg has a daily volume of 106 vehicles with an 85th percentile speed of 24 mph, the south leg has a daily volume of 79 vehicles with an 85th percentile speed of 20.2 mph. When the study was divided into channels, vehicles entering the intersection had an 85th percentile speed of approximately two mph lower than those exiting. After review, staff recommends denial of this request because it does not meet warrants for placement of a stop sign. Mop: Balfanz Rd. and Point Dr. Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 4 of 14 B2. Request for stop signs at the intersection of West 57th Street and Zenith Avenue South Requestor states that the intersection of W. 57th St. and Zenith Ave S is uncontrolled, causing the intersection to be dangerous. The area of the intersection is divided between controlled intersections and uncontrolled intersections (9 uncontrolled, 6 stop controlled, within major street boundaries). A traffic study, involving two counts, was done on the streets, and the average daily traffic is 226 vehicles per day on 57th St. with an 85th percentile speed of 25 mph, and 169 vehicles per day on Zenith Ave with an 85th percentile speed of 24.6 mph. There are no reported accidents at this location. Warrants for stop signs are located in Appendix B. After review, staff recommends denial of this request because it does not meet warrants for placement of a stop sign. B3. Request to switch stop sign location at W. 64th Street and Josephine Avenue Requestor states that traffic comes quickly off of 64th Ave. onto Josephine Ave. The resident is concerned that the children in the neighborhood, particularly those getting to and waiting at bus stops, are endangered by this. Requestor wishes to have the stop sign, currently facing southbound traffic from the cul -de -sac, moved to the 64th St approach to the intersection. A traffic study Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 5 of 14 was done on the two through street approaches with Josephine Ave. having 590 vehicles per day with an 85th percentile speed of 26.6 mph, and 64th St. carrying 475 vehicles per day with an 85th percentile speed of 20.4 mph. No crashes have been reported at this intersection in the last five years. After review staff recommends denial of this request because of low traffic counts in the area, and lack of warrants. B4. Request for electrification of stop signs on Gleason Road at Indian Hills Pass, or provide enforcement Requestor states that cars routinely ignore the stop sign at the intersection. An intersection study was done on 4:40 -10:05 AM on July 7. Of 908 vehicles counted, 54 vehicles (5.9 percent) disobeyed the stop sign. When traffic on Indian Hills Pass was present, all vehicles on Gleason obeyed right of way rules. The pedestrians at this intersection crossed Indian Hills Pass only during the study, and seemed to have little effect on vehicular traffic. One accident has been reported at this location in the past five years, was attributed to the disregard of a traffic control device by a driver on Gleason Rd. Lighted stop signs are not present within the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), however a red flasher may be installed in conjunction with a stop sign. There are no given warrants for such an installation. Photo : Gleason Road and Indian Hills Pass, looking west. Map: Gleason and Indian Hills Pass After review, staff recommends denial of this request based on the high compliance rate for vehicles stopping on Gleason. Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 6 of 14 SECTION C: Requests which staff recommends further study be done. C1. Request for enforcement of 3- way stop sign on Gleason Road and Scotia Drive Requestor states that stop signs on Gleason Rd. are being ignored. Site investigations showed that this location was at the bottom of a hill, with the 3 -way stop had some rolling stops during site visits. Additionally, people were consistently observed stopping to allow vehicles to exit Scotia Dr. Gleason Dr. has an ADT of 2,451 vehicles (from a state -aid count), while Scotia Dr. has an ADT of 200 vehicles. No accidents relating to traffic control in the last five years were reported. After review, staff recommends using cameras for a longer and more detailed study of the intersection. Photo : Sightlines from the stop of Scotia C2. Request for all -way stop signs on Brookside Avenue and W. 44th Street (possible removal of stop signs at the intersection of Division Street and Brookside Avenue) Requestor states that the intersection delay is very high at 44th St. and Brookside Ave. for those on 44th St. The requestor also noted that Division has an all way stop with Brookside Ave, while it is a more minor street than 44th St. Counts were taken, and are shown on the diagram in Appendix C. No crashes at they -'� �..� ; intersection have been reported Looking south on Brookside at 44 "" (towards Division) in the last five years. Application of an All -Way stop is detailed in Appendix B. Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 7 of 14 A4 00 After review, staff recommends further study, including analysis of delay and queuing at the intersections.

Request to remove "No Pedestrian" pictorial signs from the intersection of W. 77th Street and Parklawn Avenue, and to install pedestrian signals This request concerns the bus stops on 77th Street and Parklawn Avenue and the pedestrian environment of the intersection. Currently there are near side bus stops, and signs banning pedestrians from crossing the north, south and eqS t -wa&t. legs. The concern is that a law- abiding user of transit would be unable to use the bus stops, due to the ban on pedestrian movemeennti1 Specifically the south andwhw -& legs were requested to have their signs removed and pedestrian signals installed. The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, section 26.51, addressing such signs states in the support section that the sign is intended to be used on only one leg of an intersection, in order to provide access. This request was combined by staff with earlier requests for removal Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 ___Mop. Bus stops at W. 77th Street and Parklawn Avenue Page 8 of 14 of the no right on red restriction for the intersection. The estimated cost of pedestrian improvements is $10,000 (which includes pedestrian signals and marked crosswalks). The maximum two hour volumes on each leg were determined by video study on June 10th, thirteen pedestrians on the south leg, four on the east leg and six on the north leg. Former studies of the intersection indicated that the no right on red should remain (at least on the southbound approach) due to the dual right turn lanes, and little benefit from the restriction's removal. According to a consultant report done earlier this year, with no change the level of service of the intersection will remain the same, and delay will only rise by a few seconds per vehicle. Mitigation any effect of adding crosswalks should be possible using the mitigation outlined by the consultant. After review, staff recommends that the northern leg of the intersection be investigated for possible addition of a crosswalk, with cost and a detailed investigation of the signal cabinet, to determine if it can accommodate an additional pedestrian signal. C4. Request for stops signs at 55th and Brookview This request comes from a resident on Brookview Avenue who is concerned with traffic safety at this intersection. Requestor feels that there is a lot of cut through traffic on Brookview Ave. that is driving too fast and feels that the yield signs do not reach the desired level of safety, and that hills in the area lead to even more dangerous driving. Brookview Avenue is a 28 -foot wide north /south street with no sidewalks. A traffic study was conducted in 2010 as a result of another request. Brookview Ave. has a Mon. -Fri. (2010) average daily traffic count of 300 vehicles and an 85th- percentile speed of 23.7 mph. West 55th Street is a 26 -foot wide east /west street with no sidewalks. West 55th Street has an average daily traffic count Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 9 of 14 (2010) of 127 vehicles with an 851h- percentile speed of 14.6 mph. This study,:,: when compared to one taken in 2002; shows. that volume and speed have remained constant. There are no reported accidents at this location; however, the requestor states that there were unreported accidents, and one accident with a pedestrian that was very recent. Residential stop sign warrants are not met at the intersection of Brookview Avenue and West 55th Street. Requestor has made similar requests three times in the past five years; two were denied and one resulted in the placement of yield signs to assign right of way (2010). Warrants for stop signs are in Appendix B. After review, staff recommended denial of the request based on lack of warrants and prior denials; however, the Edina Transportation Commission requested that staff further study the intersection. SECTION D: Other traffic safety issues handled D1. Request was made for stop sign on Gleason at 62, citing long delays to exit the freeway. Requestor was referred to MnDOT, who has traffic jurisdiction in this location. D2. Request on the 5100 blocky of Indianola Ave called to request a speed bump on her street.. Resident was told that,the City has not been installing speed bumps on streets; however her street is scheduled for reconstruction in 2015 and ,that there is a potential for a sidewalk and a narrower street. D3. Resident called to request a stop sign at St. John's Ave. and Garrison Ln. A voicemail was left with here explaining that this same request was denied by City Council last year. D4. A resident on Creek Valley Rd. asked about traffic calming and /or a crosswalk at Creek Valley Rd. and Tracy Ave. Resident was told that this area would be included in a traffic study that will be conducted in the area around TH 62 and Tracy Avenue, to prepare for the reconstruction of Tracy Avenue north of TH 62. D5: A resident at 7500 York called to request an enhanced crosswalk at York Ave. and Parklawn Ave. Resident was informed that Hennepin County will be installing pedestrian- activated flashing beacons at this location later in 2014. D6. Resident called to request a stop sign at Fuller Ave. and Drew Ave., was told that a similar request was denied by City Council in 2011 due to a lack of warrants. Resident asked how he can continue this request, and was told he can voice his concerns at a City Council meeting, or to submit a petition. Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 10 of 14 t '.D7. A request was made to install traffic signals at the south ramps of TH 62 and Gleason Rd. Requestor stated that this intersection is dangerous'and very busy during the afternoon rush hour. Information was given" to the requestor regarding how to submit this request directly to MnDOT, who has traffic control jurisdiction at this location. D8. A resident called to inquire about additional traffic control at Vernon Avenue and Ayrshire Boulevard. Vernon Ave is a county road, thus the requestor was given contact_ information for Hennepin County`engineering. D9. An email was received from a resident of Interachen Blvd, stating that traffic seems to be moving too fast on Interlachen eastbound near Vernon. Resident requested additional enforcement. The email was forwarded to Edina Police Department. Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Appendix A: Crosswalk policy 1. Pedestrian crosswalks shall be placed only at locations that are unusually hazardous or at, locations not readily apparent as having pedestrian movement. 2. Pedestrian crosswalks shall only be placed in an area that has in excess of 20 pedestrian crossings for a minimum of two hours during any eight -hour period. 3. Marking of pedestrian crosswalks shall. be established by analyzing the "Vehicle Gap Time ". The "Vehicle Gap Time' is the total number of gaps between vehicular traffic (that are equal to or exceed the required pedestrian crossing time of three feet per second) recorded during the average five minute period in the Peak Hour. Pedestrian.crosswalks shall be marked and signed using the following criteria: a. More than five Gaps — Pavement markings and signage only. b. Four to five Gaps - Add activated pedestal mounted flasher. Add overhead mounted flasher if roadway is over 40 feet wide. c. Less than three Gaps — Add activated overhead mounted flasher. The activated pedestal and overhead mounted flasher shall be designed per City Engineer Standards. 4. Pedestrian crosswalks shall not be located on arterial roads or roads with a speed limit greater than 30 MPH unless in conjunction with signalization. 5. Pedestrian crosswalks shall only be placed at intersections. 6. Any of the following conditions may,warrant pedestrian crosswalks: a. Those locations adjacent to and along established pedestrian routes to and from a school. b. Locations adjacent to community centers, libraries, and other high use ' public facilities. c. Locations adjacent to public parks. d. Locations where accident records, sight obstructions and /or pedestrian volume (see No. 2) warrants theinstallation. e. Locations where significant numbers of handicapped persons cross a street. f. Locations where significant numbers of senior citizens cross a street. i Traffic Safety Committee Report, July 2, 2014 Page 12 of 14 Appendix B: Stop Sign Warrants (MNMUTCD) When it is determined that a full stop is always required on an approach to an intersection a STOP (111 -1) sign shall be used.... At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs. The use of STOP signs on the' minor - street approaches should be considered if engineering judgment indicates that a stop is always required because of one or more of the following conditions: A. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day; , B. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway. C. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction with the installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12 -month period, or that five or more such crashes have been reported within a 2 -year period. Such crashes include- right-angle collisions involving road users from the minor street failing to yield the right- of -way to traffic on the through street or highway. Additional warrants from the city of Edina list that: 1. If an intersection experiences five (5) or more right angle accidents in a three (3) year period; stop signs should be considered. 2. If the presence of a. sight obstruction is contributing to accidents at an intersection, removal of the sight obstruction should be sought before considering a stop sign. 3. If the 85th percentile speed on any leg of an intersection is more than five (5) MPH over the posted . speed limit, a stop sign should be considered for the intersecting street. 4. If traffic volumes exceed 1,000 vehicles per day on each of the. intersecting streets, stop signs should be considered. 5. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control speed. 6. Residential stop signs shall not be.installed in an attempt to control volume. Applicable multi - directional stop control warrant: Minimum volumes a. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches 300 vehicles per day for eight total hours of an average day; and b. The combined vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle volume entering the intersection on the minor street approaches averages at least 200 units per hour for the same eight hours, with an average delay to minor - street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds: per vehicle during the highest hour. Consideration should also be given to controlling turns, pedestrian conflicts, and sight - distances for stopped vehicles.

Mr. Gildner said he was in attendance with two neighbors and together, they've had ongoing concerns about the intersection at 55th & Brookview and their recent request for a stop sign was denied for lack of warrants. He said the same happened a few years ago. He said 7there are high vehicle, bike and pedestrian traffic and asked what other criteria could be used. Alyssa Pankratz, 5429 Brookview Ave, in attendance with Mr. Gildner, said she went through the process in 2010 and yield signs were installed. She said she assumed the intersection would not meet warrants again; however, there are seven school bus stops, they are one block from Arden Park and there are fender- bender accidents not being documented. Dan Katan, 5101 Juanita Ave, addressed the ETC regarding Section A -1; request to keep the intersection of W. 50th St. and Indianola Avenue clear of cars that often block the intersection. Mr. Katan said his primary concern was Indianola north to W. 50th but the same is also true for Arden and Bruce. He passed around photos of a recent accident and said he was concerned it would happen again and did not want to see it repeated three times. He said on W. 501h at St. Stephen's church where 2 lanes merge into one, drivers continue to drive.as though the two lanes continue and often they are on their phone or texting. He said staffs recommendation to "move the current sign to the west side of the intersection, and adding orange placards to the sign in order to make it more visible to eastbound drivers on W. 50th St" is. not enough. Discussion A -1: Member Janovy said this area would require a traffic study and the budget for the study. Motion was made by member'Janovy and seconded by member Nelson to recommend a traffic study for W. 50th St. from TH -100 to France Avenue in conjunction with the`Arden Park D Neighborhood Roadway' Reconstruction that is scheduled for 2015: J B -1: Regarding the curve, it does not cause a clear view issue and staff did not see a sightline issue. B -2: Member Whited said she recalled another intersection having similar issue and planner Nolan said the 85% speed was 25 mph for the other intersection. B -4: Member Olson said they had two stop signs installed in his neighborhood and speed was greatly reduced. Motion was made by member Olson and seconded by member Boettge to recommend 4 -way stops at 55th & Brookview. Member Spanhake said research shows stop signs do not slow traffic and wondered what else might be going on there. Member Janovy said she recall the City Council saying sidewalk would be helpful in this neighborhood. She would like to find the right solution but is not convinced that stop signs is right. Traffic circles were suggested or other traffic calming measures. Vice -chair La Force said there are :four requests for stop signs that were denied and if they recommend that City Council approve this one why not the other three? Aye: Boettge, Olson Nay: Janovy, LaForce, Nelson, Spanhake, Whited Motion failed. Motion was made by member Nelson and seconded by member Janovy to move B -4 to section C for further study. All voted aye. Motion carried. B -5: A reflector on post was suggested. 3 4 Edina Transportation Commission DRAFT .Minutes July IT 2014 D -1 & D -7: Member Nelson said these are similar. Planner Nolan said Hennepin County also have some concerns and are looking,at these areas. Member Boettge said she's noticed a lot of requests for stop signs and the average person is probably not aware that stop signs are not -the right solution. She asked if they could develop a questionnaire that would help to inform residents. Developing a standardized intake form will be added to the work plan. Motion was made by member Nelson and seconded by member Whited to forward the July 2, 2014, report to the City Council.,All voted aye. Motion carried. Member Spanhake said she checked with her department and they thought the W. 601h St & Chowen area would be an ideal capstone project. She will follow up with more detailed information at a later meeting.

Living Streets Working Group See Living Streets Plan Update above. Communications Committee— None. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS - None. CHAIR AND COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS Member Boettge said she attended the Ipedestrian safety conference that member Spanhake told them about' last month. She learned that some pedestrian safety measures do not work if speeds are above 35 mph, 20 -25 mph is better; it is unsafe to put one foot in the crosswalk unless you know for sure the vehicle will stop; most effective is to put your arm out like a waving'gesture. Member Spanhake will forward a- link to the pedestrian counter measures. Member Nelson asked if planner Nolan knew when W. 66th St in Richfield was scheduled for reconstruction and the project limits. ?lanner Nolan will check on this. Regarding Birchcrest B being delayed because the same contractor has multiple other projects, member Nelson asked if staff looked at contractor's capacity. Planner Nolan said there were other issues that caused the delay. STAFF COMMENTS 2014 Project Update: • Bredesen Park D Neighborhood Reconstruction — delayed two months because of water main bolts and weather. Same contractor for Birchcrest B and City Council approved delaying this project to 2015. • Countryside F Neighborhood Reconstruction — ready to be paved but had.to wait for water to dry out • Strachauer Park B Neighborhood Reconstruction — only need wear course -- • Morningside B Neighborhood Reconstruction — sidewalk being constructed; 4 f To: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item #: IV.

From: Laura Adler, Water Resources Coordinator Action Discussion ❑ Date: August 19, 2014 Information ❑ Subject: Approve Amendment - Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan Action Requested: Approve an amendment to the Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan. Information / Background: On April 22, 2014, the City Council authorized staff to send out a draft amendment to the Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan for agency review. The plan amendment addresses the management of Edina's lakes and ponds for aquatic vegetation. The plan amendment establishes service levels, prioritizes lakes for treatment, and creates a transparent process to ensure that public money is spent for public benefit. There was a significant public process throughout the spring to gather stakeholder input on this amendment. Staff submitted the amendment for review by the Metropolitan Council, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and Nine Mile Creek Watershed District on May 4, 2014, with the 60 -day comment period ending on July 4, 2014. The Metropolitan Council provided a comment letter, attached. There were no comments from the Minnehaha Creek or Nine Mile Creek Watershed Districts. Staff recommends approval of the attached amendment.

The plan amendment is consistent with Council policies and the Council's Water Resource Management Policy Plan. The amendment proposes to prioritize lakes and ponds within the city using a point system. Points will be awarded based on size, water quality, public access and presence of a lake group or association. The total number of points awarded to a water body correlates to the level of service (primarily aquatic vegetation' management) the city will provide for that water body. These classifications and service levels will help residents know the status of their local lake or pond and the level of management by the city that can be expected for it. We commend the city of Edina on their efforts to improve the management of the city's water resources.

Policy development included an extensive public process that took place in early 2014. Background Edina is a fully urbanized city. There are a large number of water bodies within Edina, including streams, lakes, ponds, and wetlands. The water bodies within Edina are a vital part of the stormwater system. Storm pipes direct water from the land into the water bodies, providing storage to reduce the chances of flooding and settling and filtering pollutants in the water before the water is discharged from the water body. The water generally makes its way downstream (sometimes through multiple other water bodies) into either Nine Mile Creek or Minnehaha Creek. Compared to undeveloped land, stormwater runoff from urban areas such as Edina contains pollutants and excess nutrients that travel into the lakes and ponds. These pollutants and excess nutrients have an effect on the condition of these lakes and ponds. The excess nutrients allow aquatic vegetation to grow more than it would in an undeveloped area. The fully urbanized nature of Edina also means that many residents live directly adjacent to a lake or pond. Aquatic vegetation has an important place in the ecosystem of lakes and ponds. It provides food and shelter to fish and wildlife, and uses phosphorus for its growth, isolating it from the water column and leading to greater water clarity. While aquatic vegetation is beneficial to aquatic life and water quality, it can also be a detriment to recreation and aesthetics, especially when excess nutrients cause overgrowth. Over the years, as excess nutrients caused additional aquatic plant growth, the city provided service to many ponds to reduce the amount of aquatic plants. This included the use of algaecides, herbicides, and mechanical removal. In most cases, the city contracted and paid for the treatment. In a few cases, shoreline residents around the water bodies wanted a higher level of service, so the city managed the contracts for them and special assessed the cost back to the shoreline residents each year. As demand for this type of service grows, a policy is needed to guide staff in providing service, while balancing the many uses of the lakes and ponds. This policy establishes a system to prioritize the waterbodies for management, define management service levels, and lay out a process to involve shoreline owners in choosing the level of management. DRAFT 3/25/2014 Stakeholder Engagement In early 2014, the city engaged, stakeholders to determine their uses, values, and desires for Edina's water bodies. The stakeholders included Edina residents, representatives from the watershed districts and Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and city staff. The public process ran from January. through March and consisted of a series of three meetings where stakeholders discussed water body benefits and values, prioritization, and service levels. It included a session to educate stakeholders on the multiple functions of water bodies and aquatic plants, prior aquatic vegetation control, and current regulations. The city also maintained a distribution list of over 80 interested stakeholders and conducted a survey that was completed by 49 of those stakeholders. Stakeholders had an opportunity to review the.policy and provide feedback. Stakeholder input is referred to throughout the policy due to the high level of engagement during its development. Benefits and Values Stakeholders identified the following benefits of lakes and ponds in Edina: • Aesthetics • Wildlife • Water Quality • Flood control and drainage • Recreation Shoreline owners, highly value aesthetics and wildlife habitat, and moderately 'value water quality. Watershed districts more highly value water quality. The DNR, as a regulating body for aquatic plant management of Public Waters, values wildlife habitat, recreation, and water. quality. The city's core services include providing flood control, drainage, and water quality services. The differing values for the water bodies lead to management conflicts. Shoreline owners generally define high - quality aesthetics as a low amount of aquatic plants. However, aquatic plants provide wildlife habitat and take up some of the excess nutrients that lead to water quality impairments. Aquatic plants can also be a barrier to on -lake recreation. These conflicts make it difficult,to find a management strategy that addresses all stakeholder values for the lakes and ponds. Water Body Prioritization There are over 200 water bodies in Edina, ranging from tiny, quarter -acre ponds to Lake Cornelia, a 53- acre lake. There is water quality data for a few lakes, but not all. Some lakes and ponds have a significant amount of public use, such as parks and trails, and some are entirely surrounded by private property. Shoreline owners vary in their desire to be involved in the management of the lakes and ponds. Stakeholders identified the following criteria to give a higher priority to water bodies: 2 • Size (large to small) • Water quality (low to high) • Aesthetics and nuisance abatement • Shoreline owner involvement (high to low) • Public access and use (high to low) DRAFT 3/25/2014 Stakeholders were clear in their feedback that no one criterion should, determine the level of management a pond receives. The identified criteria should all have an effect on the prioritization of the water bodies. Using these criteria, this policy provides a point system to prioritize water bodies: Table Size Points Water Quality Points Medium Awarded Low Awarded Large (10+ 4 303(d) Impaired Waters List 4 acres) Medium (5- 3 Drains directly to impaired water 3 10 acres) or a water body which meets water quality goals and is in protection mode ,Small (2.5 -5 2 Data shows that water body: does 2 acres) not meet applicable state or watershed water quality goals Tiny (1 -2.5 1 No data 0 acres Using Table I, determine the number of points given to a water body by adding the points awarded for size and points awarded for water quality status. Ponds that are less than one acre will not be eligible for management by the city. Use the total points to find the serv ice level from Table 2. Table 2 Service Level Points Required High 7 -8 Medium -5 -6 Low 3 -4` None 0 -2 The service level of the water body may,,be raised one level based on: • forming a lake group or association, with 50% or more of the shoreline owners participating, or • providing significant public access and use Water bodies may only move up one category, even if they have. both an association and public access. For full prioritization criteria, rating system, and examples, see Appendix A. Service Levels Defining service levels is complicated by the conflicting values for the water bodies. There are also constraints on aquatic plant management from the DNR. Incorporating stakeholder input, budget, and regulations, the city developed four service levels: High, Medium, Low, and None. The highest priority water bodies will be eligible for the High management level, medium priority water bodies,will be eligible for the Medium management level, and so on. Below is a table that summarizes the service levels; complete descriptions and details are included in Appendix B.

With multiple property owners on most water bodies, shoreline owners need to have a way to come to an agreement about the type of management they would like, and to communicate that to the city as a group. To do this, residents may form a lake association or lake group. A lake association is a formal organization that has incorporated as a nonprofit organization with the state of Minnesota. A lake association is required in order to special assess any costs to property owners. This ensures that residents are a part of the decision- making process for treatments to the water body that they will be financially responsible. A lake group is less formal, and is not required to incorporate as a nonprofit. Lake associations and lake groups must include greater than 50% of the residents living on a water body. Additional Management Opportunities In addition to the aquatic vegetation management described in this plan, there are opportunities for stakeholders to reduce nutrient runoff into the water bodies and improve water quality. The city currently provides a number of services that affect lakes and ponds through its ongoing programs. There are also areas where there are opportunities to expand or modify city activities that affect lakes and ponds. These include: • Pollution source controls: o Stormwater education • Street sweeping • Buffers and erosion prevention • In -lake management activities: • Lake and pond aquatic vegetation management • Lake and pond in -lake nutrient management • Shoreline owner coordination (including in -lake activities and small site pollution controls) • Structural pollution controls: • Storm sewer and system maintenance • Implementation of a Living Streets Policy • Installation of stormwater treatment structures where appropriate during road reconstruction projects 4 DRAFT 3/25/2014 The watershed districts have many activities that affect lakes and ponds. These include: • Storrnwater education • Grant funding for the installation of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) • Water quality testing There are also many things that private property owners can do to positively impact lakes and ponds. These include: • Forming a lake group or association • Educating friends and neighbors about stormwater • Reducing or eliminating the amount of fertilizer used • Reducing or eliminating the amount of salt used during the winter • Participating in the Citizen - Assisted Monitoring Program, collecting water quality data • Creating a natural shoreline buffer • Installing raingardens The city will also consult the water body prioritization in this plan when determining operations plans, CIP projects, and maintenance.

Water Quality Standards: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has set lake water quality goals for total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll -a (Chl -a), and Secchi depth readings. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) strives to meet those goals, or more lake- specific goals set using their water quality model. Nine Mile Creek Watershed District has set water quality goals for each of their four management levels. In cases where a specific lake or pond has not been categorized by the watershed district, the MPCA water quality standard will be used. Secchi disc readings and samples must be collected and analyzed for TP DRAFT 2/27/2014 1 and Chl -a.,at Ieast'eight times over a season (AprjI through October). Samples collected more frequently than one, every two weeks will not be considered.one of the required eight.

Stage land 2 are nearly completed. This project includes. upgrading the intersections of 661h St, 701h St, and 76th St and France Ave along with °providing sidewalk facilities along the easterly side of France Ave where they do not exist , today. WSB and LHB prepared landscaping and lighting plans for the urban design portion of this project. The. lighting portion of the project will focus on the intersections of 66th St, 70th St, and 76th St and France Ave. The urban design that includes the landscaping and featuring the lighting improvements was developed to create an identity to this corridor. We tried to create a streetscape to.draw non - motorists to the area, particularly at the enhanced intersections and to begin to create the interface between the public and "private realm. We hope by applying the groundwork, that the private realm will follow. suit to create areas of activity centered around pedestrians. The engineers estimate for this project was $350,000.00. It is anticipated the all the lighting improvements will be installed in 2014.The luminaires are LED. The bids for both the landscaping and lighting components of the urban design have been opened. Council awarded the landscaping contract to Hoffman & McNamara Co. at the August 4 City Council Meeting in the amount of $570,979.00. The combined value to the two contracts is $570;979.00 + $402,732.75 $973,711.75. We were anticipating the cost for both the landscaping and lighting to be between $700,000 and $900,000.

As water quality concerns have grown more complex, there are increasing opportunities for the agencies to work together to meet common goals, while increasing efficiency and avoiding d uplication of efforts. Edina and MCWD each have organizational strengths -that,can come together to have a significant positive' impact on water,quality. Edina has close working relationships with developers Working within the city, and can connect,those developers with MCWD staff to ensure that stormwater and erosion si' n control requirements are met and sites are inspected. MCWD produces expert content for sto . rmwater and erosion' control education material, and can engage residents and businesses on flooding, drainage and water quality concerns. There are opportunities for collaboration on capital projects, such as with the 54th Street bridge and in developing Living Streets in residential reconstruction areas. Edina's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) documents how the city will meet the ,requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer 'System (MS4) permit. This newly revised permit calls for formal partnership agreements with both Minnehaha Creek and Nine Mile Creek Watershed Districts. These agreements will detail how the agencies can specifically collaborate to meet the requirements of the MS4 permit. This proposed memorandum of understanding is a first step towards development of that partnership. Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to sign the attached memorandum of understanding with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.

Neal, City Manager Action Discussion ❑ Date: August 19, 2014 Information ❑ Subject: Waiver of Statutory Tort Limits For League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) Action Requested: Adopt.Motion not to waive municipal tort liability limits. Information / Background: Cities that purchase municipal liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) must decide each year whether they are willing to waive the monetary limits on tort.liability that are offered to cities under Minnesota Statutes 466.04. If a city refuses to waive the liability limit, the maximum monetary damages a claimant can recover is no more than $500,000. If a city waives its liability limit, a claimant can recover up to $1,500,000. Because the City of.;Edina purchases its municipal liability coverage from the LMCIT, the City Council must take action on this matter. Staff are not authorized under statute to make this decision. Only a City Council can decide to waive the city's statutory tort limits. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend the City Council adopt the proposed motion not to waive the City's monetary tort liability limits, per Minnesota State Statutes 466.04. City of Edina 4801 W. 50th St. Edina, MN 55424 SECTION U LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM Cities obtaining liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not to waive the statutory limits has the following effects: If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no more than $500,000. on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city purchases the optional excess liability coverage. If the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $1,600,000. on a single occurrence. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $1,500,000., regardless of the number of claimants. If the city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants. Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision. This decision must be made by the city council. Cities purchasing coverage must complete and return this form to LMCIT before the effective date of the coverage. For further information, contact LMCIT.

Action Discussion ❑ Date: August 19, 2014 Information ❑ Subject: Designate the St. Paul Port Authority (SPPA) as the Administrator of the Edina Emerald Energy Program (EEEP) Action Requested: Adopt proposed Joint Powers Agreement and approved excerpted minutes Information / Background: The City Council received an Advisory Communication from the Energy & Environment Commission on June 3, 2014 recommending the Council modify or discontinue the Edina Emerald Energy Program (EEEP) because of changes in the nature of the energy conservation market; changes in Minnesota law; and the extraordinary administrative burden the EEEP places on City staff. Staff have discussed the proposed action with representatives of the St. Paul Port Authority. They have confirmed their interest in taking over as the administrator of our EEEP. They believe they have the staff and the expertise to better market and administer the EEEP. Based on staff research, we agree with that assessment. If the Council approves the attached Joint Powers Agreement and excerpted minutes, the SPPA will assume management of the EEEP in Edina. We are also discussing the prospect of them taking over the management of the two EEEP deals previously implemented. If this action is approved by the Council, the effective date of the change will be November I, 2014. Recommendation I recommend the City Council approve the requested actions.

Action Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Action Requested: Approve staff recommended transfers of the 2013 General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance Information / Background: The City ended 2013 with a general fund unassigned fund balance of $2,049,968. The City Fund Balance Policy states that it is the policy of the City that, to the extent possible, such excess funds will be transferred to the construction fund to support capital improvements and equipment. The fund balance policy also states that available fund balances shall not be used for ongoing operating expenditures. In contrast to the excess balance in the general fund, the City's golf course fund continues to have a fund balance deficit, measured at $1,362,075 as of December 31, 2013. The City has made several difficult decisions designed to improve the annual operations of the golf course fund. Staff recommends a significant transfer of dollars to the golf course fund now to help to address the balance sheet issues at the same time. This transfer would allow us to start some modest improvements at Braemar as soon as this fall. It is important to note that this recommended transfer is intended to clear a past deficit, and therefore would not be available for future spending. However, an improved financial position and outlook for the golf fund will make a future bond issue possible sooner than would be possible if we decide not to proceed with this transfer now. Staff recommends the remainder of the general fund unassigned balance be transferred to the construction fund, following the fund balance policy and past practice. The amount will be similar to amounts transferred to the construction fund in recent years. It will be used to pay for the Fred Richards repurpose planning process, as well as a server virtualization project and 2015 -2017 CIP projects to be determined.

P. From: Steve Grausam Action Liquor Director Discussion ❑ Date: August 15, 2014 Information ❑ Subject: Construction Management Services for Edina Liquor- 50th & France Store Remodel Action Requested: Authorize City Manager to sign attached contract for construction management services with Bossardt Corporation for the remodeling of Edina Liquor — 50& & France location at 3943 West 50th St. Information / Background: Edina Liquor is proposing to hire Bossardt Corporation as the construction manager for our upcoming remodeling project. Bossardt has worked with many municipalities and has built a number of municipal liquor stores over the years. The contract cost is $29,140. The estimated total budget for the remodeling project is between $150,000 and $200,000. This project was in the CIP for 2013 but due to possible property changes in 2013 we held off on this project until knowing for sure if we were going to be a part of those changes. The project is anticipated to start on or around Sept 22, 2014 and we would be closed for approximately four weeks. This closure will coincide with the exterior work being done on the main building. The project will include: • Raising drop ceiling to 10 ft height of suspended ceiling. • Replacing carpet with vinyl flooring- Same flooring as Southdale • Replacing all lighting with high efficiency LED lighting • Replacing all of our wood liquor shelving with standard mental Lozier shelving • Replacing entryway door • Replacing the in entryway • Moving elevated office to ground —per ADA recommendations • Remodeling bathroom to meet ADA requirements • Updating front checkout area City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St • Edina, MN 55424 REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 2 We feel that by closing the store at this time will allow us for the least loss of revenue due to all of the construction that will be taking place in the area and we would expect to show a decrease in sales due just to the other projects. Our projection is that we will try to keep our loss of sales at no greater than 5% based on our experience with projects we have done at the other stores. t. ocu TM AIA D ment C132 - 2009 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Adviser AGREEMENT made as of the Fifteenth day of August in the year Two Thousand and Fourteen ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS: (In words, indicate day, month and year.)

One of the City Council's six strategic priorities for 2014 -2015 is Communication and Engagement: 'To clearly understand community needs, expectations and opinions, the City will consistently seek the input of a broad range of stakeholders in meaningful and interactive communication." A goal of that is to host a monthly discussion on www.SpeakUp.Edina.orQ. In July 2014, the discussion topic centered on public spending on public art. In this online discussion, the City posed the following questions: • How should permanent public art be purchased? Would you support the City spending public money on public art throughout the City? • Where would you like to see public art expanded? • If the City purchased public art, how much should the City spend: per piece? Per year? The discussion was open for comments between July I and Aug. 1. During that time, 34 comments were made. Additionally, 645 people visited the site 890 times, garnering 3,288 page views. About half of all visitors to the site during that period were from Edina (according to their internet provider). The discussion was promoted through various means, including a press release, Facebook, Twitter and NextDoor posts, City Extra messages and direct outreach. Attached are the comments on this topic.

Would you support the City sending public money on public art throughout the City? 22 Responses 22 Responses Tom Brenitz nbout t month ago City budgets are supported by taxpayers. A public installation, while enjoyed by all, could nonetheless be supported and maybe should be firnded by private donations. When die public has a say so into the spending of their tax dollars, at least in my experience, they most often lean toward budgets that do not affect their bottom line. They may see projects outside die necessary duties as government as grandiose, extravagant or extraneous and exceeding a city's responsibility and what they wish to pay for. When a piece of art is needed for a public space, involving the community as much as possible in the decision process would be my recommendation They are likely to have an opinion on; artwork selection, fiindnig options, artists chosen (local or not), longevity of the art itself and even the meaning of the work. Again in my experience, objections occur regarding how city funds are spent wisely. Even non- artistic endeavors are seen as exceeding essential services and objections are raise as to how their tax dollars are used to the fullest without waste or worse. Involve die community, seek outside frtntling, attempt to please as many con»mtnity, members as possible and thank the taxpayers if their money is used. 4 Supports comment...

Many cities across Art herica recognize the role that art plays m the "good life" and every new project undertaken has a % for the arts built right in the original contracts.::no discussion necessary. Volunteers in the art community should not be asked to search for the fiaids to pay for public art.

Generous donors lead the list of which there are many and for whom we are most grateful - too many to note here! That said, I would definitely support the City spending public money on public art where appropriate. There are several new initiatives - !hike tie Phase Four expansion of The Promenade scheduled for Spring 2015 and redesign of Pentagon Park, a mtdti -year plan - which are perfect examples. The Promenade Phase Four expansion calls for a water feature with two ponds joined by a narrow brook with two or three new sculpture pods. An educational component about storm water and rain garden for youth and adults to learn nnore about the unporlance of water in our eco system will enhance The Promenade and provide a destination for classrooms and groups to learn. It would certainly be an enhancement and appropriate use of city funds to include the purchase of two or three smaller sculpty-es to highlight that expansion which will undoubtedly draw more visitors to our City. I would love to see the return of Oxymoron by Bruce Stillman, the kinetic piece which was the fist place People's Choice Award Winner in 2012 and was a perfect comerstone to The Promenade. The park deserves this signature piece. i agree with Betty Hen-stad about the vahie of a Percentage for Arts Ordinance.

Thomas x at July 31, 2014 at 4:53 pm CDT I think the city has an obligation to care about quality of life, including all the usual amenities hike snow plowing, public safety and parks and recreation. Recreation nntst include both physical activity and emotional/culttlrallartstic activity. The emphasis here is on activity. In my view it would be a mistake to focus only on "permanent public art". 'Ile occasional sculpture here and there, while certainly nice to look at (in most cases), does nothing for the quality of life finless there is fife around it. What we need is a more holistic approach, dolt just look at funding a sculpture, fraud a sculpture and make sure there is space (and money) to create a lively community around it Here are a few examples: The city invited a few residents to participate in the development of the next phase of the promenade. That effort led to a deign that is much more than " a bunch'ofsculptures ", it is a place where people can gather and stay a while, meeting each otter, communicating. Sculptures can be bought, rented, leased or donated later, more importantly, there is room for comma niry life to happen in the space. The other example is the current 'Music in the Park" series in Rosland Park. For three Friday rights between two and three hundred people have gathered in Rosland Park to listen to music organized by the Arts and Culture Commission, with (lie generous support ofthe.eky. A piece of "permanent public art" would not have elicited the same level of interaction and community get together. So what is my point? By all means should the city fiumd public art, but let's not stop at the hardware, it takes software to stake things come to life.

Why not suggest that each area tnight think of piece of art to define their neighborhood? Could the City provide thatching finds or a percentage of the cost to encourage action? If this plan were implemented, you would have each neighborhood becoming involved at the grass roots level in the art selection for art in their own neighborhood. I'd like to see panels of art installed on the railroad bridge crossing 44th street at Brookside Avenue. Or would it be difficult to get the approval from lie railroad?

Currently, the City supports Public Art with a $10,000 budget. Typically, we have 10 -12 new sculptures in our annual rotating exhibit. That money is used to give $500 stipends to artist whose sculptures are chosen; they must install, de- install and have their sculpture on display for one year. If they are one of the top three People's Choice Award winners, they receive $1,000, $750 or $500 plus an invitation to display their sculptures for an additional year for which they are paid a stipend of $500. Another budget item is plaques for each new sculpture. Both Public Art Edina and die Arts and Culture Commission, of which public art is a working group, are researching and discussing the possibility of Percentage for Art Program in the form of a City Ordinance. Many cities in the country (St. Paul and Duluth in Minnesota) and indeed throughout the world, find this is a smart, efficient and e0'ective way to fiord public art projects and have had ordinances for years. Typically, a percentage for art program is managed by the municipal finance department. In SL Paul, the City Council "believes that planning and development decisions should give aesthetic and social value equal weight with any project's finctioal and economic values. Public art strengthens public places and enhances and promotes St. Paul's identity as a livable and creative city and desirable place to live, work and visit." The ordinance established the principle that artists should be involved from the earliest stages of conceptual planning, and continue through project design and implementation This finding model is municipal only which means that for all capital projects finded by eligible sources resulting in a property to be operated by the City, I % of eligible project costs is used for public art. An additional one - halfof 1 % of City's annual capital improvement budget pays for maintenance. There are other cities who have a public and private percentage for arts ordinance. 1 Support comment... - -- .,._ -___.. _.—_._ ..._ -.__.. --- _,__._ __ . ___ !

Information / Background: The City established the Images of Edina photo contest in 2004 to recognize and collect photographs that capture Edina as a preeminent place for living, learning, raising families and doing business. Each year, residents and employees who work in Edina are called to submit their favorite "Edina" photos taken over the past year. The photos are judged on subject matter, composition, clarity, depth of field, lighting, quality of color or black and white, artistry and drama, degree of difficulty, Edina relevance and overall impact. This year's panel of volunteer judges includes Megan Gosch of Edina Magazine, Ric Johnson, photography instructor at the Edina Art Center and Megan Davis, Graphic Designer for the City of Edina. From the submitted photos, judges chose the winning photographs in five categories representing the City's vision statement: Living, Learning, Raising Families and Doing Business. Once submissions were finished, the photos were published on Edina Magazine's website for readers to vote, selecting the Readers' Choice Award Winner. The winners of the 2014 Images of Edina Contest are: • Living: People —"My First 70 Degree Day in 8 Months" by Julie Prior - Miller • Living: Plants & Wildlife — "Silky Streams" by Timothy Macht • Learning — "John's First Fountain" by Jennifer Schmidt • Raising Families — "Escape" by Kate Schmitt • Doing Business — "Pinstripes Edina" by Rachel Khan • Readers' Choice — "Bad Day on the Pond" by Robert Schwartzbauer Of the category winners, one photo was chosen as the overall winner, and will be announced at the City Council meeting.

Neal, City Manager Action Discussion ❑ Date: August 19, 2014 Information ❑ Subject: Final Approval and Authorization To Proceed For Edina Veterans-Memoriaf Action Requested: Grant final approval and authorization to proceed to the Edina Veterans Memorial Project .Information / Background: On November 15, 2011, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposal to construct a memorial to Edina veterans in Utley Park. Following the public hearing, the Council approved the following motion: Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Bennett, approving preliminary design, location, and development of proposed Edina Veterans Memorial. The Council stated its support for the Veterans Memorial and asked staff to assure lighting would not impact residential properties, night sky, or wildlife. Mr. Keprios answered the Council's questions relating to the. City's donation policy. The Council raised the option of designing the Veterans Memorial so it could be constructed in phases as funding levels were reached. Mr. Keprios stated this option would be taken under advisement The Council extended its appreciation to Mr. Schwartz and all who had become involved in furthering this effort Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Swenson, Hovland (Council Member Sprague was absent) The approved design included the following features: •V- shaped granite plaza (emblematic of "victory") leading up to the focal point of the memorial. • An eagle and wreath design will be a focal point. • The wall will feature the names of the 32 Edina soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty since the City's founding. • Three illuminated flagpoles will be placed at the edge of the plaza hoisted with the American flag, state flags and white on black POW flag to honor troops in captivity or missing in action City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 REPORT/ RECOMMENDATION Page 2 The estimated cost of the project in November 2011 was $450,000. Through a number of small value engineering decisions combined with the successful acquisition of in -kind donations, the Veterans Memorial Committee has been able to reduce the projected cost of the memorial to $406,369, which includes a $40,000 contingency budget. The committee will share how some of these value engineering decisions have impacted the design of the memorial at the August 19 Council meeting. Included in the Council's November 15, 2011 approval was a strong statement that private funds must be the primary funding agent for the project and that sufficient funds must be raised before the City would allow construction to commence. City staff met with committee chair Richard Olson on August 14 and verified that sufficient funding is now or will soon be available. The breakdown of funding for the memorial looks like this: Private cash contributions (not pledges) $146,380 City funds approved by Council $ 39,461 State Legacy Fund Grant $ 9,900 State of Minnesota general grant $225.000 Total $420,741 The Legacy Fund grant from the State is not a matching grant. It is available to the City at the completion of the project. The State general grant was part of the State Legislature's 2014 bonding bill. It is a matching grant and can be accessed by the City only after the City has expended at least $225,000 on the project. It will be necessary then for the City to create a temporary internal construction loan to the project which will be closed once the state provides us the $225,000 reimbursement. The private cash contributions are held by the Edina Community Foundation. They are accessible when needed. The goal of the committee is to have the memorial finished in time to dedicate it on Memorial Day, 2015. In order to meet that deadline, it is necessary to start the project this year and complete as much of the grading and early construction phases as possible before winter weather sets in. If the Council shares this goal, I would recommend that you approve the recommended action and approve the final design and authorize the project to commence construction.

Good afternoon, I wrote a letter before the public hearing on the homeless teen housing project on 66th street (in the old TCF Bank building), attended the full public hearing (well past midnight) and have comments regarding how the desire of the Planning Commission to find language to fit this project within the Edina Comprehensive Plan, which they were unable to accomplish at their meeting and are leaving in the hands of the City Council. I'm speaking entirely for myself, in no way for the Community Health Commission of which I currently am a member. I worked in the healthcare industry for more than thirty years, starting out working for a regional health planning agency that reviewed proposals like this, later evaluating their financial feasibility and community need as the market research manager /director for four different local systems, including Fairview's System Manager of Market Research, which gave me deep exposure to and knowledge of all physical and mental health issues, services and treatment settings. What we have here is a project that responds to: 1. 1, a clear community health care need (the mental and physical health of homeless teens is already compromised and will get worse if not tended to) 2. strong community support (In the form of dozens of area churches supporting the project) 3. 3. a successful project developer (who has demonstrated with past projects that the common fears of this kind of project are not real) and 4. 4. a great location — close to transit, jobs, shopping and not located in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The only question appears to develop language where people can see it as a fit in a medical district. What is the purpose of a medical district? Perhaps, to provide a place where people know that they can come for help for a wide range of medical and related support services. This medical district also provides housing arid'day programs for people who cannot flourish without supervision. Every day, Fairview Southdale houses more than 400 people, and has far more than that receive outpatient services, spending the day there. The purpose of hospital and the clinic based services is to maintain and restore health. Recently, the City Council changed the language of the definition of a medical district to include senior housing, as even if some residents didn't need continuous medical services, some required monitoring and others nursing care. This reflects that vulnerable populations can and should be able to live in a medical district. It actually appears that if the Council had changed the language'in a somewhat different way, it would be more inclusive and the fit of this homeless teen project within the district wouldn't be questioned. In fact, one of the opponents to the project was a Montessori school, which within the current language is not a legitimate part of a medical district — as it provides day care, not health care. However, if the Council wanted to include more inclusive language that talked about vulnerable populations, senior care, homeless youth care and day care would all become totally acceptable uses. A quick illustration are the kind of family housing facilities such as the Ronald McDonald House on many healthcare campuses — no strictly medical purpose, but they provide needed support to families at a point of great vulnerability. If Fairview Southdale had such a facility, I don't think that any would question why, it is needed and justified. The language that should be used is that a medical district has services for vulnerable populations — those with acute or chronic physical illnesses, and those who need to be in health enhancing environments for part or all of the day. For example, young children cannot be left at home when their parents work before they are school age, so a Montessori school cover this vulnerable population. Homeless teens lack many resources — most notably stable housing but also often parents or a support network, that has left them in many cases unable to prepare to be contributing adults. They have gone through the same emotional trauma in many cases as those who fight or live in a war zone. They amount to refugees from our communities, fleeing violence, thrown out for being gay or struggling with untreated medical and mental health issues, with nothing stable in their lives. They qualify as a vulnerable population as do young children and the elderly. Housing these youth has two benefits — it protects them from further harm (just as we do with senior housing) and enables them to achieve more of their potential (which is the same as for young children). Without caring adults in their lives providing structure, none of these three vulnerable groups would be safe, and their health and lives would collapse. f _+ Sometimes the healthcare system - neglects the strategy of problem prevention or harm reduction. We know the extremely bad outcomes that homeless youth experience — including prostitution, crime, addiction and mental illness, as well as lifelong difficulty making social connections and holding jobs. ( If we show no interest in preventing problems from happening, but would rather have only services once severe damage is done (and a lot of money is to be made, rather than avoiding using services altogether), we really need to think about how much "care" is in our healthcare system. Originally, the language related to affordable housing. Edina has a goal of more than 200 affordable housing units, and currently has 11? This facility is age restricted (just like senior housing and Montessori schools). It provides stable housing with a social component comparable to a college dorm (for youth who are probably somewhat socially isolated). It would also help with Edina's affordable housing requirement, although that is not the primary reason for doing it. Affordable housing is a big issue in Edina - and has been recognized as such for some time - and really needs a plan of its own, as pretty clearly there aren't many developers who will offer it unless given strong encouragement by the city. By my math, the target would'still be less than 1% of the total housing available in Edina, so itself, is not unduly ambitious. So, what I'm proposing that the language singling out "senior housing" be removed and "services to vulnerable populations" be substituted, in order that senior care, teen care and child care fit within the definition of Edina's medical district.

Youth homelessness is largely invisible in the suburbs, but we have heard too many stories about our Edina youth who struggle every day with school, jobs, and homework but they don't have a place to call home. We believe the supportive housing in the Southdale area would provide youth with safe housing, as well as access to jobs and :,transportation.. Calvary Lutheran Church has a rich 75 -year history with a mission to "welcome, worship and witness ". Part of our mission is to advocate for those who are vulnerable, which includes our homeless youth. Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative has experience to develop supportive housing. We believe the city of Edina has the resources and the passion to make 66 West Apartments a reality that will propel these young people into healthy and successful futures.

We have met and emailed quite a bit with Aaron, and my wife talked to one of the crews this spring tossing dirt and grass seed on bare spots. I would need to look into my emails and phone records to see who all we spoke with. With our lawn being a staging area and part of the massive hole needed for a giant underground. storm-water settling basin, we talked regularly with Aaron during the project and were quite accommodating to the City and its contractor. We are asking for our lawn to be returned to how it was before the project began. If you walk the area of the road reconstruction project, there are really quite an incredible amount of homes where the contractor's hydro seeding did not work. Not all lawns were as disrupted as ours, but I think the contractor and the City have not fulfilled their obligation to restore lawns of the home owners in the Lake Cornelia road reconstruction project area.

As you can see from the email below, and we have had many prior conversations and emails with Aaron Kuznia, we have had continuing problems with the lawn restoration. Our lawn was very disrupted due to the filtration system added to the sewers. We have large patches of grass that have failed to grow or are growing poorly, and large weeds that are a direct result of the City's contractors bad seed mix and sloppy hydro seeding process. We have done what the City said as far as watering with our sprinkler system and maintenance, yet we still have significant problems. Prior roadway projects in Edina have received sod replacement instead of the seeding, reseeding, hydroseeding and weeds. Our neighbors are suffering from the same problems. We want sod replacement like our neighbors. Enough is enough, your contractors today have again tried a band -aid attempt at repair as you can see from the 2 sample pictures attached. Please tell us when we will be getting sod. If this matter is dealt with before the end of the month, we will have no choice but to pursue our legal rights. :x Daniel S.

As part of this project, the City's contractor was to restore the disturbed lawns along the street. I am very dissatisfied with the vendor's work and the lack grass restoration. The hydro seeding which you and the contractor promised would do the job has not worked and been a consistent problem as you can see in the sample pictures. We have a sprinkler system, and late summer /fall 2013, as requested by the City and its contractor, we watered very consistently during the dry spell to give the new grass the best chance to grow. In fact, the part of our lawn not removed by the reconstruction looked fantastic during the dry spell because of all the regular watering. This spring the vendor re- applied the hydro seed and once again it didn't work and looks terrible. The same contractor's plan looks terrible up and down our street. We have given the hydro seeding a chance, and it did not work last fall, and it did not work this spring /summer. We would like to have our grass replaced with sod before the end of September of 2014 to be paid for by the City. Can you tell me the City's plan for replacing our damaged lawn with sod by this date.

Rt--O' 77 �yc IL Iv TCF HOMELSS HOUSING I watched the Planning Commission regarding the proposal for changing the status of the area from Regional Medical to specialized housing for homeless teen =age persons. Most of the testimony was about the sad situation of the homeless teenagers not about the appropriateness and wisdom of the location. While the future of the area as medical and business is positive and predictable a building for this proposed population is not. Some years ago I was involved with Edina Youth Action which was for troubled teens with drug problems and yes, homelessness. At first there was great support from churches, volunteers and civic organizations, Then support faded. It combined with a Richfield group and then disappeared. Fortunately no building was left behind in the community as could happen in this case. A very wise business man in my congregation warned us when we were looking to start up a project (only this time for seniors,)to not start anything until you have financial and management planning guaranteed many years ahead. We should have listened. There -is a need; however, within the communities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park and Edina that this project is to serve but a more suitable and not. harmful to this already designated Regional Medical Area can be found. In managing the city's property previous administrations have developed an excellent plan for Edina. Do not destroy it.

We think the course should stay open until there is a compelling alternative selected. We also think all alternatives should be measured against the benefits and burdens of the golf course, and selected only if they result in a net long - term. benefit to. the entire community. We believe this for the reasons below: Financial Any of the apparent alternatives seems to require some City subsidy; none of them are profitable or break - even. That helps put the golf course subsidy in perspective — there is no non - subsidized alternative. The golf course is the highest- revenue alternative. Any park, garden, trail, playground etc. would require mowing, gardening, irrigation, winterizing, equipment leasing, replacing vegetation; and so forth. So we must think of the golf course as a way to bank-the land until a more compelling use arrives, and with that we must ask, does it cost more or less than other ways to bank the land? And we must ask whether there are ways to raise more revenue and thereby reduce the subsidy. The golf .course is the biggest outdoor recreation land use that close to the 494 strip. The site is really unparalleled in being a short, easy course surrounded by, and accessible to, one of the richest commercial sections of a major metropolitan area. There are real opportunities to reduce the City's subsidy by catering to that 494 business community. If there are not enough golfers in Edina to support the course, then reach out to the businesses. The great advantage of a short course is that it can be played in 1 hour. So you could have corporate picnics in an afternoon where people could eat, play golf, then continue to socialize, all in an afternoon. The course has space for this near the clubhouse on the old #1 fairway, now abandoned when #1 was shortened. If corporate events are not the best idea, surely there are other ways to leverage the proximity to this prosperous business corridor. I would urge you not to hang onto the idea that the Fred must only serve 1 Edina residents. Instead, we should reach out to neighboring. communities and businesses so that their play and fees can subsidize the Fred, allowing Edinans to enjoy it. Timing Many have commented in support of keeping the Fred open at least until Braemar's executive course renovation is done. This seems to make a lot of sense. Some of the equipment, staff, and resources idled while Braemar is under renovation can be shifted to the Fred. The leagues, seniors, and juniors displaced by Braemar's renovation will also have a place. Future Development Impact The main thing for the neighborhood will be ensuring that the Pentagon Park redevelopment is high - quality. It sounds as if the developer believes it will be, with or without the Fred closure. A golf course will be a nice amenity to new office buildings and will probably increase the rounds played, and may ensure profitability. In any case it doesn't seem to make sense to give up this nice amenity now and commit to something else, when we don't:seem to know what that "something else" will or should be. I would like Hillcrest to have an outstanding and outstandingly successful development, but the Fred right now acts like a land bank, at very little subsidy, for any really outstanding development campus proposal that may come down in the future. I would not give up that potential except for a really outstanding, crown -jewel type development. Nearby Options While I love parkways and .amenities, the neighborhood is blessed with great strolling nearby at both Arneson Acres and Centennial Lakes. I,am not sure this quadrant needs anything that duplicates what we already have. In addition, many of the alternatives proposed for the Fred could be located on either one of those 2 parks; we ;do not need to close the Fred to give them space. In fact, there is some risk that duplicating the uses will draw. users away from Centennial Lakes and Arneson Acres, making those parks too quiet and too "dead '. Parks,need a healthy level of activity; and in this high- value.commercial quadrant, open space.should contribute to'and complement neighboring high -value uses. It seems to me that the neighborhoods'south, east, and west of tfie Fred needs more density in order to support another significant, high- maintenance park similar to Centennial Lakes. In my view,:you have adequately signaled to Pentagon Park redevelopment and to other area redevelopment, that you are willing' to' take dramatic steps to encourage high- quality redevelopment of, this area. The Fred is effectively land= banked. Repurposing it now is premature, when we don't know what purposes will contribute the most to high- quality neighboring redevelopment. Repurpose it when there is a clear driver, either a high quality redevelopment or other City users. In that way you will have a willing partner who can help with the re- purposing, and having a willing partner will reduce the burden on Edina's taxpayers. In addition, closing the golf course for something n"ew'and positive will be much more acceptable than closing it with nothing definite on the horizon. I would urge you to keep the Fred open until Braemar's executive course is back on -line, and in the meantime vigorously market this area's tremendous potential for extremely high - quality development. Thanks for your service and the opportunity to comment. I knowthese are difficult decisions and wish you all the best.

Kevin, I caught last night's PC meeting via local television. It was good to see Floyd swinging for the fences in support of the Beacon development.,) would have been happy to join him -- but, unfortunately, was unaware of the situation or proposal until late yesterday, evening. That was my error. I can't think of a better use for the property at.issue (aside from the Beacon proposal) -- 'particularly in light of the urgent need to protect struggling youth (where, apparently, families are,either unable or unwilling to do so themselves). In the absence of families, who else other than members of our community will step up to do the right thing? Ethically; as a community, as a planning commission, and as a city council, we have only one real choice- - which is`to do just that. I recognize, of course, that for each and every Edina citizen there may be multiple "right things ". In this case, however, we have a. broader, societal responsibility to sustain and care for those in our community who yearn for, and se&to take, affirmative steps toward achievement of the broader successes that we all enjoy. And if they achieve that, we all benefit from their successes. In the face of these problems and opportunities, how can we turn our backs on our, or our neighbors', children. Closing our doors and shuttering our windows will not make this problem go away. Affirmative and creative engagement by the Planning Commission, City Council and citizens at large can accomplish (or, at least, help accomplish) that -- coupled with the systems, structure and experience of an organization such as Beacon. There are understandable concerns amongst some of our elder neighbors who may feel their current or future safety to be jeopardized. Their points of view were elegantly stated at last night's Planing Commission meeting. However, as understandable as those concerns may be, virtually no evidence of an unfolding crisis (either now or in any other Beacon developments) were identified or articulated. Instead, only speculation .and hyperbole`.have filled that void. While those concerns are still deserving of our attention and respect, concerned residents and family members would be well- served to.reflect on the actual scope arid magnitude of their fears vs. reports of actual events that might validate such fears. To my recollection, after having observed the entirety of last night's PC meeting, I recall hearing,no Such reports -- and am forced to assume, in the heady drama of that meeting, that evidence sustaining such fears simply does not exist. As a society, we have a moral obligation to step up -- and I am hopeful that the City Council will reach just that conclusion. -- Jeff Carpenter JEFFREY D.

F, William C Joas 6409 Biscayne Boulevard Edina, Min nemAa 55436 The Honorable James Hovland Edina City Hall 4801 W. 50`h St. Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mayor Hovland and Honorable Council Members, My wife and I are writing this letter to you as we are seeking direction and relief from events stemming from the June 19th 2014 deluge of rain. This letter will outline both the events and our concerns with respect to the city of Edina's response (or lack thereof). Some previous and brief background is warranted. I have resided in the Parkwood Knolls neighbourhood my entire 51 years. I lived first on 6624 Parkwood Road with my parents from 1962 to 1969, at 6209 South Knoll from 1969 until 1991, 6612 Parkwood Road from 1991 until 2004 and from 2004 to the present at 6409 Biscayne Blvd. I recall the great ten inch plus rain we encountered in one day back in the late 1980's and was married in the great Halloween Blizzard at the Church of St. Patrick's in 1991. This is relevant to the story I am about to tell.. There is one more relevant detail worth mentioning, In February of 2012 our sewer line broke just at our foundation wall, meaning that raw sewage flooded our basement causing us a complete mess. Our basement was a disaster and fortunately insurance covered our losses, with the exception of our $7,500 deductible. The break took place right at the foundation line; no follow up with the city was warranted except to the extent that the city inspectors examined the work of the contractors installing the connection valve. The point here is that within a very recent history we have experienced a sewer back up and our emotions on this point are very raw and current. Back to the story, as you know we experienced a significantly wetter spring then normal. During the first part of June the city was in the process of repairing our neighborhood roads. On June 18th the city had cut the top layer of black top off the street from the curb to three feet into the road. Pictures are provided to show the damage done to the road and the impact to the storm sewer. These pictures are at the base of Continental as it comes into Biscayne; my street. The distance to the bottom of the ground where the blacktop is gone is approximately three feet. On June 19th the rain began again. At nine in the morning of that day, my wife telephoned Edina Public Works to explain that the storm sewers in front of our house were not working. She indicated that the water levels were so high that it was beginning to crest over our neighbor's driveway pitch, three feet in his front yard, meaning the depth of the water in the road was approximately three feet. It is important to note there are 5 storm sewers in front of our house. Two of them are on either side of Deville Road at the bottom of that hill and two them are on Biscayne essentially at the corner of Deville and Biscayne, and one in between Continental and Deville in the backyard of a homeowner. There is a sanitary sewer cover approximately in the middle of Biscayne. The water was so high my wife (Margaret) immediately called the Public Works Department to report this situation and the urgency that was needed. We have included photographs along with this letter which clearly show the magnitude of the problem and the fact the storm sewers were not working. There was no response from the City; no one showed and no one called back. At 10:00 a.m. the water was still sitting on the road but was gaining in size. Shortly after 11:00 a.m. my wife Margaret telephoned hysterically to tell me that raw sewage was coming up in three locations in our basement; through the mechanical room drain, our shower drain, and our laundry room drain. My wife immediately called the Public Works line again and told them of the situation. Before rushing out of my office I immediately telephoned Brian Olson and my phone call was directed automatically into voicemail. I left him a detailed message pleading for help from the city; no response. I tried him again on my way home and again received his voicemail. Mr. Olson returned my call on my cell at 2:00 p.m. that afternoon and advised me that the rain had caused numerous problems throughout the city, and they were still looking for the blockage and seeking my help in locating the problem. Really, at 2:00 p.m. I still had raw sewage coming into my house. At that point we had three shop vacs going and had pulled off two teenagers off the street to help them move our furniture. We literally were waging war and could not stop the onslaught. At 4:00 p.m. the sewage finally stopped flowing. Also, at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Olson telephoned again and told me that I had provided invaluable service in that I had given them insight as to how the problem was progressing. It does not excuse the fact that no one in Public Works responded to our phone call; and to suggest it was an emergency does not suffice. Grab an intern, a librarian or anyone at all. Mr. Olson would later tell me it would have been okay to call 911 and that is what I should have done. With all due respect, I could not have brought myself to take away a police officer from someone who truly had an emergency, maybe a heart attack, or robbery. To this day, Mr. Olson has not followed up with me to either check on our well being or more importantly to discuss how this problem can be averted in the future. We know for a fact that the system pressure put upon a storm drainage system can violate and cause sewers to back up. Please see the enclosed article discussing the city of Decatur and their similar issue. It was with that in mind that I telephoned Mr. Scott Neal on June 25th at ten o'clock in the morning. Mr. Neal did not return my call that day despite a detailed message. I stopped in later that afternoon (about 4 p.m.) to pick up the claim form needed to file an insurance claim with the city's insurance carrier; Travelers and was taken care of by Lisa Schaefer. I happened to see Mr. Neal in the hallway talking with other employees -he does not know who I am. He did not return my call until later the afternoon of the next day. He advised me as did Mr. Olson that Travelers would most likely not pay out as the city was not liable for any negligence; the city sewer line was kept open. I informed Mr. Neal that I wanted two things from the City; first I wanted' to know what initiatives the city would take to safeguard against future events. Second, as the pictures indicated, the storm sewer was not working and no one responded. Had the city responded or elected to take pressure off the system, I would not be in my current position. So I asked Mr. Neal not to pay my coverage as my carrier had assumed that, but rather my deductable which is $7,500. He advised me that this was something he thought he could do and needed to look into the manner. At this point I had informed Mr. Neal that our street had been stripped of the top black top layer and the damage that had ensued. He was not aware of this fact. This was the last time I spoke with Mr. Neal. In the meantime, Travelers contacted me and did a brief interview over the phone. They did not ask for pictures, wanted no follow up communication or documentation and essentially stuck to their script of questions. In my opinion (and not just because they declined my claim) they did not represent the city well to one of its constituents. On Thursday July 17th at 9:00 a.m. I telephoned Mr. Neal again to follow up on conversation and seek the status of the two points I wanted addressed. That afternoon my wife forwarded him photos of the pooling water and also photos of the road work being done on the bottom of Continental Drive and Biscayne. These pictures show that the road under the storm sewers was essentially gone. Therefore, all the water bypassed the street drain and pooled at the bottom of Deville and Biscayne. You could have literally put a two foot stick down and touched the bottom of the ground beneath the missing roadway. Mr. Neal forwarded these photos to Mr. Chad Milner. Mr. Milner emailed us asking to follow up with him as to any concerns we might have. Please see his email enclosed. So now I have to call this gentleman as apparently no one is able to call me. So I waited until the following Monday (July 21) and called Mr. Milner while I was on my family vacation. Upon reaching Mr. Milner, he did not know why I was calling, did not know where I lived or why we sent the photos. He did suggest that going forward we could put in a back flow drain at our cost to mitigate this issue. I referenced above that I went through this two years ago. The City of Edina inspector who reviewed the work specifically did not recommend such a solution so I am wondering if the city has changed its thought on this. I have not pursued any additional communication with Mr. Milner. On July 28th at 8:00 a.m. I telephoned Mr. Neal again to follow up on our conversation. He did not return my call. On Thursday July 31" at 8:00 a.m. I telephoned Mr. Neal again. I have been polite, respectful and even congratulated him on his appointment to the Minneapolis auditor committee which was in the Star Tribune that morning. Mr. Neal has not returned any of my phone calls. Several other pieces of information are warranted. I ran into my neighbor who lived immediately next door to me at 6413 Biscayne. He recently sold his house. He told me years ago he met with a city engineer and pleaded to get bigger drainage pipes in that area, a request that was denied. During this process, we had our security system company come out and complete and estimate of what it would cost to put in a monitoring device that would alert us of a future issue (nice way to live) and he advised us that on June 19 his city, Tonka Bay, began pumping the sewage lines to take pressure off their system. Tonka Bay did not want to get in the news like the city of Mound did for dumping waste. Assuming this was true, how come Edina was not proactive in its response to these conditions? To be clear, my claim and complaint with the City of Edina is not whether the sanitary lines were kept open. It is that conditions caused the storm sewer to not work and upon notification to the city, they did nothing. The city owes a duty to keep those storm sewers operation, and this is even evidenced in your website. Had this duty been carried out and there been a timely response, I would not have suffered this loss. The photograph, articles, and evidence hear this out. As I write this letter, the most frustrating thing is that the city has completely failed in is response to me as a homeowner. The common response in the few conversations I have had is "we had a really wet spring and it rained a lot that day." There has been no follow through, and I can't even get a phone call returned. As I mentioned in my opening paragraphs, I have lived through many storms in Edina. We are going to have more days of rain and weather and what is the city doing to proactively protect its homeowners. I am still waiting to hear my response on the issue of my deductable and the city's plans for future storm management. I am happy to meet with you or discuss by phone. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Post script: In the time I drafted this letter and before it was sent, I received a written response from Mr. Neal. It is enclosed for your review. I now have a new issue. In my opinion Mr. Neal is not being truthful in his response. He professes that he tried to leave a message at my office number of (612) 371 -7193 when my phone number is actually (612) 371 -7913. He ignores four points; Number 1, if you read my letter carefully, I placed four calls with detailed messages to Mr. Neal. Are we saying I left an incorrect number all those times? Number 2, Mr. Neal did return my call on June 26 as reflected in my letter. He clearly had my number at that point. Number 3, I had to provide all my contact information with the city in order to file a claim with Travelers. Mr. Neal knows this. Number 4, if all else fails we have something in Edina, a wonderful resource called a telephone book. Mr. Neal clearly did not want to deal with this and now we have another issue. I look forward to your response.

In that capacity, we acknovyledge receipt of your property damage claim. Based upon the information received and our investigation of this claim, we have found that our insured is not responsible for your damages. There are a couple of reasons for our denial. First, we have been advised by the City of Edina, that there was an excess rain event that occurred. Unfortunately, the amount of rain that fell and that it fell in such a short period of time infiltrated the public sewer mains and caused it to surcharge. This was not something that the City of Edina could foresee or control. In addition, there is no history of any prior problems or defects with the sewer lines that were involved in this incident. a governmental oblem to be held negligent. The simple ncont o9 and not addressed the s p of public property does not constitute negligence. The policy of insurance for the City of Edina pays for those losses for which the City is legally liable. Our investigation has brought us to the conclusion that the City was not negligent or legally liable for your damages. Therefore, we must respectfully deny your claim. Unfortunately, we will make no payments on behalf of the City of Edina. 7 arerely, olyn Saurman Claim Rep, Specialty Travelers Telephone: 210- 525 -3653 Fax: (800) 931 -1018 CC: City of Edina CC: Horizon Agency Inc.

Since I do not have an email address for you, I have decided to send you this letter in order to get you respond to your questions. The City of Edina cannot reimburse you for the insurance deductible you incurred in connection with basement flooding you experienced on or about June 19, 2014. The City cannot provide you the relief you are seeking because the City did not cause or act in a negligent manner to cause the flooding incident. I regret that we are unable to help mitigate the financial damages you have suffered, but because the City is not at fault, the City cannot pay damages. You -have asked to meet with our Engineering Department staff to hear what the city is doing to decrease the chances of future basement flooding incidents in your neighborhood. We can meet with you to have this discussion. Please contact City Engineer Chad Millner at 952 - 826 -0318 to discuss date, time and location for the meeting. Sincerely, ;57 Scott H.

The short answer is: To make sure you Building have clean, safe water and that what goes down the drain, stays down the drain. Inspections The long answer is much more detailed, so think of this as "Utility 101." Health City of Edina Utilities Division has three main components: r NY �! Human Resources o Pump, treat, and distribute drinking water. Parks & o Sanitary sewer collection. , r Recreation o Storm water collection. Police I' Public Works The City of Edina operates two separate water systems: The Morningside water system and the Edina water system. The Morningside system is supplied with treated surface water from the City of Minneapolis which utilizes Ultrafiltration, lime softening and multiple chemical treatments. While the water is from Minneapolis, Edina's Utility Department maintains the system's piping. The Edina system gets its water from 18 groundwater wells, ranging from approximately 450 to 1,100 feet deep. All well water is treated with fluoride (for public health and wellness), chlorine (disinfectant) and polyphosphates (pipe corrosion ,I inhibitor). Further, nine of the wells are pumped to one of tour Water Treatment Plants (WTP) for additional removal of iron and manganese, naturally occurring minerals common _., to groundwater. Once the water has been treated, it is distributed through a system of 200 miles of water main, four water towers and a ground reservoir to supply homes and c businesses with clean, safe drinking water. Sewer collection and flow is based on gravity. It is designed to "run downhill." In areas Utilities Division where there is a variety of elevation changes, Lift Stations are installed to gather flows, and then pump (lift) the sewage through a pressurized force main to a higher point where 11 can cr be discharged and gravity again takes over. At the most basic level, the City simply collects j and pumps sewage to a neighboring community where it eventually goes to a wastewater treatment facility operated by the Metro Council Environmental Service (MCES). = Storm water collects and flows on this same gravitational basis. During and after a rain or melt event, it is crucial that water is removed quickly from roadways so it doesn't create a public safety issue. However, instead of being sent to a treatment plant, it is routed to our creeks, ponds, lakes and wetlands. These highly visible areas serve as natural treatment facilities for our storm water, create wildlife habitat and add to the aesthetics of our neighborhoods. Hence, maintaining the quality and health of these areas is also considered in the management of The City's storm water program.

Make sure that the level of the floodwater is below the level of the basement floor. If so, do not pump the basement all at once because the saturated soil could cause the basement walls to collapse. • Wear a mask to prevent inhaling contaminated dust, especially a you have allergies. Consult your physician it you have questions. • Open, clean, decontaminate and thoroughly dry cavities in walls, floors and ceilings. • Allow walls to dry from the inside out. • Remove moisture and debris from all surfaces and get surface materials dry within 24- 48 hours. • Release any water or mud that has been trapped in walls, ceilings or floor cavities. • Remove all interior wall finishing materials and insulations. • Throw out any wet insulation. • Throw out moist plaster, wallboard and paneling. • Throw out mattresses and pillows. • Throw out any opened packaged foods that are not waterproof. Commercially canned foods can be salvaged if the labels are removed and the cans thoroughly washed. The cans should then be disinfected by wiping the entire surface with a bleach and water mixture then rinsed with water. Home - canned foods require additional care. After the jars containing home - canned foods have been washed and disinfected, the food should be boiled for 10 minutes before using. If you think you might have materials containing asbestos In your home, call the Minnesota Department of Health, 651- 215 -0900. If any materials are still wet or moist after 24 to 48 hours, you should assume they have mold growing on them. Soiled Clothing/Blankets • Line -dry all articles before attempting to clean or treat them. • After drying, b rush off loose dirt and debris. • Send "Dry Clean Only" items to a professional cleaner. • Wash clothes several times in cold water.

PURPOSE The purpose of this publication is twofold: I . It provides homeowners with basic information on the-causes of sanitary sewer backups. 2. It provides homeowners with general information on solutions that can be implemented to protect their property from sanitary sewer backups. This publication is informational only. It is not intended as a "Do- It- Yourself' guide or to be considered as implying any type of recommendation. The City recommends that any solution to a sanitary sewer backup problem be developed with the assistance of a competent professional plumbing contractor and /or a competent professional engineer. B. SANITARY SEWER BACKUP CAUSES The City of Decatur operates and maintains two separate sewer systems. The first system is a storm sewer system consisting of a network of large diameter pipes, manholes and inlets designed to transport stormwater (sometimes called clear water) from developed areas to an appropriate open channel or lake. The other is a sanitary sewer system which consists of a network of smaller diameter pipes (usually 8- inches in diameter) and manholes designed to transport wastewater from your service sewer line to the Sanitary District of Decatur (SDD) interceptor sewer system. SDD's interceptor system consists of larger diameter sewer pipes that transport wastewater to a treatment plant where the wastewater is processed and discharged to a stream. Both the City's sanitary sewers and the SDD's interceptors are designed only for sanitary wastes. (See Figure 1.) In some older areas of town a third system may exist called combine sewers. Combine sewers are systems that transport both storm and sanitary water to the treatment plant. In these areas the potential for backup or surcharge in the sewer system is much greater because of the unpredictability of the amount of rainwater that will enter the combined system. If only sanitary wastes were transported by the sanitary sewer systems. Sanitary sewer backups would only occur when obstructions were present in sewer pipes. However, during certain types of wet weather conditions, sanitary sewer systems become inundated with additional non - wastewater (clear water). The sanitary sewer system was never designed to carry this additional water so the sewer systems become surcharged and this result in backups of wastewater in lower levels and basements. (See Figure 2). The additional clear water entering the sanitary sewer systems is called infiltration /inflow (I /I). Infiltration is defined as indirect sources of stormwater or groundwater (clear water) infiltrating into a sanitary sewer system. Examples of infiltration include: Defective pipes and joints (cracked, broken, misaligned, etc.) in the public sanitary sewer systems. Defective pipes and joints in the property owners' sewer service lines. Defective and deteriorated manholes in the public sanitary sewer systems. Inflow is defined as direct sources of clear water entering into the sanitary sewer systems. Examples of inflow include: • Building footing and foundation drains connected to sanitary sewer service lines. • Sump pumps connected to sanitary sewer service lines. • Window well drains, stairway drains, yard drains and patio drains connected to sanitary sewer service lines. • Storm sewers and storm inlets connected to the public sanitary sewer systems. Inflow sources, unlike infiltration sources, are usually larger in magnitude and therefore contribute more significantly to the surcharging problem in the sanitary sewer system. For example, eight residential sump pumps rated at 2800 gallons per hour each and connected illegally to the sewer system can consume the entire flow capacity of a typical eight -inch diameter sanitary sewer (345 gallons per minute). Additionally, footing drains four inch in diameter and flowing full from four homes connected illegally to the City's sewer system can consume the entire flow capacity of an 8 -inch diameter sanitary sewer. As mentioned earlier, sanitary sewer backups should occur only during times of heavy rains or extended periods of wet weather. If sanitary sewer backups are occurring at your home during times of no rainfall, there is probably something wrong with the public sewer system in your neighborhood and the City's Public Works Department should be contacted at 424 -2747. C. IDENTIFYING PRIVATE SOURCES OF INFLOW As described in Section B, some of the major sources of inflow into the sanitary sewer system are located on private property. These inflow sources involve a direct connection on private property between the plumbing for the sanitary service line and the plumbing for stormwater and groundwater drainage (see Figure 3). The City urges all property owners to investigate the location and the point of discharge of all plumbing on their property associated with stormwater, groundwater and sewage. During the course of this investigation, if a plumbing connection is found that would allow clear water (stormwater /groundwater) to flow into the sanitary service line this connection must be removed. Failure to disconnect would continue to allow inflow into the sanitary sewer system and could reduce the effectiveness of any solution implemented by a property owner to prevent sewage backup. The major sources of inflow on private property are listed below with the methodology that can be used to locate the source. I . Building footing and foundation drains connected directly to the sanitary service line. This type of connection can only be identified with certainty by exposing the sanitary service line and inspecting the exposed sewer line for cross connections with the building footing and foundation drains. Property owners should be concerned about this type of connection if their building has a basement and no sump pump. 2. Sump pump discharge connected directly to the sanitary service line. This type of connection can usually be identified by tracing the discharge piping of the sump pump to its point of discharge. If the sump pump discharges to pipes that are used to transport sewage, the connection must be removed and the discharge of the sump pump must be directed elsewhere. If the sump pump piping cannot be traced, the discharge water from the sump pump can be dyed and then traced to a sanitary or storm sewer. 3. Downspouts, window well drains, stairway drains, yard drains and patio drains connected to the sanitary service lines. These types of connections can usually be detected by smoke testing the City sanitary sewer and /or by dying the discharge water from the individual drains or downspouts. D. TYPES OF BACKUP PREVENTIONS Presented below are possible solutions that could be implemented by homeowners to protect their property from backups. This section assumes that sanitary sewage is backing up through plumbing fixtures located in a basement or lower level and the property owner has identified and eliminated all sources of inflow from private sources into the sanitary sewer. This section also assumes that the sewer service pipe and joints under the floor slab are strong and tight. If the service sewer pipe is weak and /or contains leaky joints, implementation of the solutions below could cause water to accumulate under the floor slab and its pressure could cause the floor slab to fail. The City recommends that homeowners in addition to considering one of the solutions listed below also consider the purchase of insurance to cover damages caused by sump pump failures and sewage backups. Plugs. Since the lower level floor drains are usually the lowest connection in your house, it is the first place of entry for sewage backups. The drain can be closed with a rubber or wooden plug during heavy rains. Plugs can be purchased at most hardware stores. The plug can be installed permanently or it can be installed by the homeowner before or during rainstorms. This is the simplest and least expensive way to stop sewage backup and will work until the sanitary sewer water level becomes high enough to fill and overflow other plumbing fixtures located in the basement or lower level. (See Figure 4) WARNING! If there is any uncertainty about the condition of sewer pipes below the basement floor, this method could result in serious damage to the floor. Advantages: a. Many types can be installed by the home owner without special tools. b. Plugs can be flush with the top of the basement floor to avoid tripping. c. Low cost, no changes are required in the house sewer system. d. No permit is required since the house sewer system is not altered. Disadvantages: a. Water backup from exceptional rain storms may cause a build -up of water pressure within the house sewer system great enough to rupture pipe joints and basement floors. b. If basement floor and sewer pipe joints are sound, water will overflow from the next lowest open fixtures. c. Plugs must be removed to restore drainage if water seeping through the walls or floor accumulates in the basement. Standpipes. A standpipe inserted into the floor drain serves the same purpose as a plug, except the standpipe is open at the surface. When water rises to the top, it will overflow onto the floor. An open standpipe doesn't relieve pressure in the sewer lines or reduce pressure which may build up under the floor slab due to leaky joints. (See Figure 5) WARNING! If there is any uncertainty about the condition of sewer pipes below the basement floor, this method could result in serious damage to the floor. Advantages: a. Many types can be installed by the home owner without special tools. b. Pressure due to trapped water in sewer pipes or under floors may not rise to dangerous levels since overflow keeps pressure buildup from becoming too high. c. No permit is required since the house sewer system is not altered. Disadvantages: a. May cause rupturing of sewer pipe joints under the basement and subsequent cracking concrete if standpipe it too high, or if standpipe is capped. b. Basement floor drains cannot be used until standpipes have been removed. c. Pipes projecting above the floor are hazardous in heavy traffic areas. 3. Valves. Since sanitary sewer backup comes through the sewer service line running from the public sewer, another possible means of preventing sewer backup is to install some type of valve which can be closed when the sewer surcharges. A variety of valves are available. Some valves close automatically when the water flows through the service line reverses (check valves) while others require manual means to close (gate valves). The valves may be installed on the service sewer line either inside or outside the basement or lower level. However, due to potential damage to basement floors as discussed in 1 and 2 above, it is far safer to install a valve outside the basement with access by means of a manhole. Because of debris flowing through the sanitary sewer service line, valves (check or gate) sometimes jam and fail to close completely. Additionally, unless the valve operates automatically like the check valve, the valve is ineffective unless somebody is on hand to close it. All valves require periodic maintenance; therefore access to the valve is essential. During the time the valve is tightly closed, sanitary sewage backup into the house is cut off. However, normal sanitary sewage flow from the hose to the sanitary sewer is also cut off. This means that household plumbing fixtures cannot be used unless a pump bypass is provided (See Figure 6). Advantages: a. No dangerous pressure builds in the sewer drain system under the basement floor. b. Nothing to remove to restore drainage of the basement floor. c. No pipes projecting from floor drains where they could be hazardous. Disadvantages: a. Property owner must be home to close the hand - operated valve at the proper time and will not be able to use fixture while the valve is closed. b. The valve should be checked frequently and maintained to make sure it works properly and is not held open by debris. c. Gate valve must be reopened to resume full use of plumbing facilities. d. Valve could not be closed tightly which would still all sewage to back up 4. Overhead Sewers. The basement floor drain and any plumbing fixtures in the lower levels of your house that have experienced backups will be disconnected from the sewer system. Plumbing from those fixtures will be re- routed to a sealed tank. Inside the tank, an ejector pump lifts the waste water up several feet high in new plumbing before dumping into your sewer line. Often the new plumbing is connected "overhead" to pipes that lead out of your house and dump into the sewer line.. Since the fixtures in the lower level are no longer directly connected to the sewer line, they cannot experience a backup. Plumbing fixtures on upper floors of your home that have never experienced backups need not be routed through the ejector pump system. (See Figure 7). Advantages: a. The system does not rely on proper closing of a backflow valve to prevent backup from the street sewer. b. Loss of power during a storm does not affect use of upper level plumbing fixtures. Disadvantages: a. Sewage ejector may fail to operate during a heavy rain and may be a problem. b. Use of lower level plumbing fixtures should be curtailed during heavy storms. c. Check valve failure could allow backups to still occur. d. Sewage ejector pump will be inoperable during power failure. E.

Both streets and sidewalks are considered part of a citywide transportation network, and all Edina residents and land owners by definition benefit from them. Just as our infrastructure projects must take into account and balance the impacts both at the street, neighborhood and Citywide (and at times regional) levels, opinions and concerns of your neighbors will be considered, as well as those that are impacted by and benefit from our "Living Streets" as a whole. We understand that impacts vary and are more immediate for those residents whose streets are being reconstructed, and be assured that staff and City officials do indeed listen to these concerns.

In an April 1, 2014 Report to City Council you concluded that Living Streets will require being "broadly supported by the local neighborhood" and the trajectory of the change from existing streets will depend on "the resulting acceptance of the local neighborhoods." On July 31, 2014, the Edina Engineering Department held an Open House to unveil the initial designs of your Living Streets Plan for the Arden Park D Neighborhood. As Engineering Director Millner can confirm, there were more than 100 residents in attendance and, not only was there no broad support or acceptance, the opposition to your plan was nearly unanimous! Please tell me how the lack of neighborhood support and lack of neighborhood acceptance will affect the content of the proposed Living Streets Plan.

The problem has reached a point where the detriment to the community is now quite measurable, if not yet by,the Remote Monitoring Towers, than by my -own immediate cancellation of a six - figure investment in home up- grades that we will now very likely not be making in our Edina home. I have attended meetings at City Hall and elsewhere that aim to confront this problem, but the nature of those meetings tends to always be the same: a deflection of the current seriousness of the problem with calls by elected officials for more objective data. Let me offer some objective data of my own: the cancellation of a significant investment in my home, which would have been a direct investment in this house, of course, but also an indirect investment in the entire neighborhood. We can wait for all of the objective RMT data we can imagine, but in the meantime be aware that decisions are already being made, Edina residents are already withdrawing what has historically been utmost care for their Edina homes, and Edina residents are already becoming less socially, emotionally, and politically invested in a community they no longer value to the extent they did previously. Such withdrawal of investment will have implications for all of us, to be sure. While families may come and go from a community, the investment of time and, particularly, money they place in their homes remains anchored in that community. Such financial investment in individual homes results in a sustained upgrading of an entire neighborhood over time, year by year, decade by decade. I predict, however, that the air traffic noise issue will result in more residents responding the way we have: favoring investments other than their Edina homes out of fear for what is to only become worse. I am also aware of some residents who are eager to move out of the flight path and into communities elsewhere. Some of these residents intend to put their homes on the rental market rather than sell. Such a transition is precisely the kind of change that erodes the strength and cohesion of a community like this one. I have seen other homes, once immaculate, losing the care and concern that they once reflected. The extent to which this withdrawal of care is due to the increase in air traffic noise is unclear, but the correlation seems strong. The point here is that the air traffic noise issue is already impacting the area, and waiting for more objective RMT data is a poor strategy. As someone with an extensive background in both science and clinical care, dismissiveness of objective data may seem like an unexpected position. But the fact is, regardless of what the objective data from the RMTs reveal, it is the perceptions of the residents that will determine their actions. Residents are reporting they perceive an increase in noise and a decrease in quality of life. As elected representatives, those subjective reports are not the only data you need, but they are the most important data you need. If RMT data is discrepant from residents' perceptions, will it change residents' behaviors, plans, perceived quality of life, political support? It will not. I know in my case my previously intended home upgrade is not now currently hinging on RMT data. It hinges on my subjective perceptions of my current neighborhood and what I know about the future regarding air traffic noise. The question now is what can the Edina City Council do. What kind of factual information will actually enlighten this unpleasant situation? We know that planes will keep flying out of MSP and they need to fly over someone's neighborhood. There will be, without any question, winners. and losers in this matter of air traffic patterns. Trying to soften that fact.with opaque information 'or data collection on noise will not help at this point. What we need now is very detailed information about what neighborhoods will be the winners and what neighborhoods will be the losers as.tKer flight -paths are further.irr plemented. What we need is 'a very clear indication of which neighborhoods, very, very specifically, will. be under the proposed flight paths when the further changes occur (and I keep saying "further changes" because I and others are convinced that some shift in air traffic has already occurred). These neighborhoods projected to be under the majority of the air traffic may or may not be.the same neighborhoods that are receiving the fly -over traffic now. That information needs to be clarified. This,is the very specific information, clarifying who will receive the brunt of the noise based on the new flight paths, that has been skirted in all of the meetings and maps until now. It has been skirted because those who have the information are unwilling to tell those residents in the losing neighborhoods that they,.indeed, lost on this one, that their homes are no longer as appealing as they once were. It is indeed a tough message. But at this point, with everyone well aware that some will win and some will lose, and with residents already perceiving themselves as having lost and withdrawing investment in their homes, it is time to get transparent with the information regarding the very specific flight paths that are proposed. Now that is information upon which decisions like mine do indeed hinge, and until I know otherwise, l will be making plans.that do not involve further financial investment in an Edina home the future of which, based on the information I have, I can only deem uncertain.

For those included on this e-mail it is important to understand that I was appointed to the District's Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) this spring not knowing Eric Everson - Marden or any of the Board of Managers. I was not aware of any personnel issues with the Board or the District's professional staff. I just signed on to support the CAC given my extensive experience in water resources, stream and lake shore restoration and the prevention and control of aquatic invasive species. I also brought with me 40 years of public service and some expertise in good governance and public policy. I had no axes to grind or personnel - related agenda. With this background, I find that Jeff Casale's recent behavior while acting as a District Manager and his subsequent "letter of apology" appalling, unprofessional and grounds for taking whatever action is needed to have him immediately removed as a manager. Anything short of that action must be seen as a complete lack of fiduciary responsibility by the Hennepin and Carver County Commissioners. It is never right for any reason for an appointed public official to publicly act towards a citizen, staff professional or fellow appointed board member as Mr. Casale did at the Board of Manager meeting on July 17. While I did not arrive to meeting in time to witness the encounter, I have talked to multiple witnesses who concur in every detail with what happened. In addition during our July 22 CAC meeting those in the audience who attended the July 17 meeting were to come forward if they witnessed events different than stated below; A no one did. At the July 17 meeting Mr. Casale interrupted a citizen (Mr. Jon Monson) during his two minute presentation to the Board and; refused to stop his comments during the duration of Mr. Monson's allotted time. Mr. Monson requested additional time to complete the reading of his letter but was refused by the Chair. He then quickly and quietly left the meeting room. He was met in the hallway by Mr. Casale; he began shouting in Mr. Monson's face (inches away): He repeated 10 to 12 times, "you f* *king liar, you f* *king idiot." A District staff member had to physically escort Mr. Casale back into the meeting room. Mr. Monson said nothing inflammatory or raised - his .voice to Mr. Casale at any time in the Managers meeting or in the hall. Of note; at no time following this situation did the Board chair address Mr. Casale's behavior despite the.fact it could be'heard,by those in the meeting. At our July 22 CAC meetinga motion regarding the Mr. Casale's unprofessional behavior was passed unanimously . with four abstentions. The motion read; The, CAC makes'the.finding that Mr. Casale's behavior at the July 17, 2014 Board of Managers meeting was inappropriate and adversely affects the ability of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, to carry out its functions. Therefore, the CAC requests that Mr. Casale issue a written public apology to: Mr. Jon Monson, the public at large, staff,,Board of Managers and the Citizens Advisory Committee. The public apology shall specifically state: 1) the exact behavior; 2) the behavior was inappropriate; 3). this !s no excuse or justification for the behavior; and 4) the steps he will take to ensure that this does not happen again. A letter dated July 31 was sent to Mr. Monson by, Mr. Casale (attached with your below e- mail.) Based on Mr. Casale's reading of it at the Board of Managers meeting last Thursday, I assume this is the apology letter that was requested. This letter does not address the four points detailed in our July 22 motion and is nothing more than a defense of his position on the termination of Mr. Evenson - Marden and how that somehow explains his unprofessional behavior. It is not an apology that_acknowledges total and unequivocal responsibility for his behavior. Also, his letter is not factual with regard to what happened; fn the hallway on the night of July 17; it serves to only blame the "victim" despite the fact that Mr. Monson never demonstrated any unprofessional or aggressive behavior to anyone that evening. Mr. Casale had his opportunity to take responsibility for his highly unprofessional behavior; he did not. I can only conclude he does not have the capability to understand basic professional and personal boundaries necessary to serve as Board Manager. He should be discharged from this,position as soon as possible. Failure by the County Commissioners to do so will indicate they either believe his behavior is acceptable or it does not.reach a threshold for such a dismissal. In either case, I request the County Commissioners share with the CAC what does constitute grievous behavior that warrants dismissal. Finally, Jeff, I'm very concerned that you have previously misrepresented the interaction between Mr. Casale and Mr. Monson at our July 22 CAC meeting and in your e-mail below suggest you believe Mr. Casale's letter meets the specific points addressed in our CAC motion (detailed above) and /or is an acceptable apology given the points I raised above. In our July 22 CAC meeting you recommended our group not proceed with our resolution because Mr. Casale was not there to defend himself (despite multiple witnesses to exactly what happened.) You also categorized the interaction between Mr. Casale and Mr. Monson as a "shouting match." Mr. Monson clarified that he never raised his voice to Mr. Casale and said nothing inflammatory or unprofessional. Again witnesses to.the event supported Mr. Monson's conclusion. Somehow your ongoing messaging seems to support that Mr. Casale's' professional behavior was warranted (or least provoked and.thus warranted) and,that he has taken full responsibility for his actions by his attached letter. Both of these positions are very concerning to me as in your role as Interim Administrator, you must model the highest professional standards that we expect from all the District's staff, managers and other volunteers. The points noted above speak against that. I hope that I am wrong and you will work with the County Commissioners to have Mr. Casale removed from his position as soon as possible. Thank you.

I have measured the distance of said stake to the face of the utility pole from across the street and it appears that it is encroaching further on my property than what was approved at the December 10, 2013 City Council meeting. The approved street design was 33' (two 11' lanes with 2' buffer, two 6" curb, one 12" concrete blvd., and 5' sidewalk) plus 1' -6" clearance from face of utility pole to backside of curb (or 2' to street face of curb). Based on my own measurements, I am coming up with approximately a 38' -6" distance from utility pole to stake, meaning that the stake location is about 4' closer to my home. Please explain this discrepancy. I have included City Council members on this email because so much time was spent coming to an agreement on exact dimensions. 4' is a huge amount of space to be "off' and this is exactly what residents were afraid of when it came time to do the work.

Adding the proposed 6 feet of concrete, which the engineers have apparently determined is the best way to squeeze sidewalks onto our streets would be detrimental to our properties. If the proposed sidewalks abut the street, in the winter plows will push snow from the streets onto the concrete we are supposed to shovel. This will be compacted like the snow deposited by plows at the end of our driveways now. We all.know that snow /ice combination is almost impossible to chop /shovel. And where, other than back into the streets, would we put that snow which contains salt and sand? . Currently our neighborhood is charming. All of us bought our homes because of this and the fact that it is safe have lived on Juanita Avenue since 1977. Traffic is no heavier now than when my children were running to their friends' homes in the neighborhood. I walk in the street to the park or 50th Street most days and rarely encounter a car. New people are eager to buy our homes and invest in lovely, new houses. It appears they like what we currently have. The proposed sidewalks and narrower streets will detract from the appearance of our neighborhood and more than likely hurt the value of our homes. The most attractive and safest choice for our streets is to keep the current width streets, which allows for the light motor vehicle traffic we have as well as pedestrians and bikers. A narrowed street would be much less safe as we with single car drives park along the curbs, bikers ride down the street and cars back out of drives. Backing out of a single car drive (no "swing room") with a car parked directly behind, is not.easy or particularly safe. We already have a safe, walkable neighborhood. We've walked it for years without any issues. Walks onArden, Halifax and 52nd will provide options for those choosing to use sidewalks. This is analogous to having one handicap accessible door in a building with multiple doors; not every door must be.handicap accessible. The Comprehensive Plan mentions protecting and preserving the essential character of existing residential neighborhoods and recognizes that neighborhoods differ. Listening to citizen- taxpayers and being open to changing plans is not a sign of irresponsible government.

I would like to point out that it would be a good time to relocate. the traffic sign in my yard. If you would move it to the sidewalk near the road this would not only match the Minneapolis side of the street but it would also make it more visible to traffic. Currently the sign is not in anyone's sight line until they are right on'top of it, and when I plant more trees this will divert the sight line even more. So I would again like to suggest that you'move the traffic sign that is in my -front yard to the sidewalk as this will be better served for all. I would also like to suggest that you put a phone number on the website that offers voice mail and that you update the hours to 8 am and not 7 am if those are the correct hours, or have someone answer the phone at 7 am.

I strongly support the 66 West program of Beacon Interfaith group which is advocating for a shelter for homeless young adults in Edina. It distresses me greatly that a group of local businesses have organized opposition to this project. Obviously they have never been homeless or they would not oppose such a worthy cause. I plan to be at the August 13 Planning Commission meeting to speak on behalf of this project if given the opportunity. Any time we can assist anyone who is homeless to find adequate, safe housing we need to do this. I have visited the Nicolette Square location and found it to be a really excellent place for young adults. I'm sure if you took the time to visit there you would be convinced, as I was, that we need a similar site in Edina. Homelessness is a terrible thing and we need to do everything we can to eradicate it from our western suburbs. I strongly encourage you vote in favor of supporting 66 West. Thank you. Rev.

An apartment complex near Southdale for homeless youth would be an excellent location due to grocery store locations, pharmacy and the Target as well as excellent bus transportation in that area. I understand you have a goal of increasing affordable housing. Reaching out to homeless youth is necessary. I worked with developmentally disabled youth and adults for approximately 20 years. Veteran teachers in that work force will tell you that working with infants, preschool and elementary children is most important. During that time it is easiest to teach them, increase their skills and help mold their personalities. These "homeless young people are at that point as well.. They need role models, a safe place to live, easy access to shopping and transportation. Young people who are ignored and left on the street become older people who continue to live on the street.- They are targets for drug lords, thieves, pimps. They need help to-overcome their situation. Please. be that assistance and create the housing necessary for their health and. welfare.

Although, I understand the financial challenges with Fred Richards in the future, I don't know why there is a rush to close it at the end of this year. When I saw the costs and improvements needed in the presentation earlier this year, most of the large expenses and improvements weren't needed until several years in the future. What is more concerning, is the recent news that the upgrades to the executive course at Braemar will not be completed by next golf season, so the city will be left with no executive course for the golf season next year. My son played in the Friday morning junior golf league at Fred Richards this year and if that course is closed and the executive course at Braemar is still being updated, where will all of the junior golfers in Edina play next summer? I don't understand the rush to close Fred Richards at the end of this year. Can you please consider keeping it open until the Braemar renovation is complete, otherwise junior golfers will be left with nowhere to play next season. I look forward to seeing your reply and action on this important issue so that junior golfers are not left with nowhere to play next year.

From: Emma Brenner, Age 9 41.04 West 62nd Street August 1, 2014 Mayor of Edina City Council Members In my nicest possible voice I am asking you people to reconsider how you conduct your business and what you are allowing to influence your decisions. Two examples I am aware of that have nothing to do with me: 1) That you would even consider a massive zoning or ordinance change for a project at 72nd and France is, I believe to be crazy. 2) That you deliberate about a variance on a twin house is good but that you almost don't pass it because you want to control material of the driveway is, I believe to be crazy. Figure out the intent of the zoning and issue variances when reasonable, without getting involved in the nitty gritty of it. I can't believe you don't have better things to do with your time. I believe common sense isn't common at all and clearly your committee isn't behaving with common sense. The amount of power and control you exercise over some of these items would lead one to believe you are all power hungry control freaks. Furthermore, there are always a few people that are very passionate about their point of view and will stand for hours in your chambers to voice their opinions. And then the rest of the people, people that are making a go of life and don't have or can't make time to express their perspective. Remember that some people are fanatics and this should be taken into consideration when you allow their views to weigh in on your decision making. I really used my nicest possible voice. I so often disagree not only with your decisions, but how you derive at what you do and don't allow. You are supposed to be leaders, with insight, vision, and perspective. Please make your best decisions for the great good of ALL the people, or support the (small individual, not corporate) underdog, when a law or zoning code doesn't make sense for a particular set of circumstances.

You are to be commended for your leadership enhancing sustainability and quality of life for your citizens. If you're ready to lead the community to even greater success, new opportunities are on the horizon. In the next few months the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and Xcel Energy will finalize plans for the roll -out of Community Solar Gardens (CSG's). CSG's provide an opportunity for just about everyone in your community to participate in solar energy savings. Currently, the advantages of solar energy are only available to those who can generate solar electricity at their homes, businesses or property. Unfortunately, as many as 75% of the population are unable to generate solar electricity due to lack of accessible sunlight, renting their living space, or not having the financial means to invest in solar production. CSG's allow solar electricity to be generated anywhere within the Xcel Energy service area and at minimal or no cost to the "subscriber" of a CSG. Novel Energy Solutions (NES) would like to partner with you to make solar energy available to everyone in your community and help your sustainability efforts reach the next level. All that is needed is some open space with clear exposure to the sun. Little or unused open space, tax forfeited parcels, blighted areas prime for redevelopment, and space on top of or around municipal buildings are all possible locations. We can handle the rest. With so many other great things going on in your city we can help you achieve your sustainability goals without placing a burden on staff or any cost to the city. In fact, as a subscriber in the CSG your city can realize savings on electricity. NES does the work, your community reaps the successes attainable through sustainability and solar energy. Please do not hesitate to contact me to assist in making your community an even better place to live. Congratulations again, on your sustainability efforts through the GreenStep Program.

By IMUY SMITH kellysmith @startribunexom Plans for homeless youth apart- ments inEdinaare pitting churches and hundreds of parishioners against some businesses and resi- dents who thinktheproject isn't the right fit for the Southdale area and could increase crime in the suburb. On Wednesdayhundreds ofsup- porters and opponents areexpected to pack the city's Planning Commis- sion to discuss the $10 million proj- ect called 66 West. It would be the first apartment building for home- less youths in the western suburbs, estimated to number about 250. "I'm confident we have the right project inthe right place;'said Anne Mavity, directorofnewprojects for Beacon Interfaith Housing Collab- orative, the St. Paul organization behind the project "We think this project is ready to go." For the past two years, local churches have been working with Beacon Interfaith to convert a TCF Bank building off W. 66th Street into the 39 -unit apartment building, which would have space for coun- selors to help homeless youths fin- ish school and find jobs. In July, more than170 supporters rallied for the project outside City Hallbefore aPlanningCommission meeting. But the project was tabled to give businesses and community members more notice. OnWednes- day, the Planning Commission is expected to vote on rezoning and changing the city's comprehensive planto allowthe building— thefirst formal step in a lengthy process. C ommunity D evelopment Direc- torCary Teague said the city recom- mends support for 66 West, citing a Beaconproject in Minneapolis that is "well- doneandwell- run." Plus,he said, one of Edina's goals is to pro- vide more affordable housing. So far, city leaders have gotten hundreds of letters and a -mails on the project, mostly in support. But a nearby business told the city it's concerned that Beacon's two- storybuildingisn't the right fit for the dense commercial and medi- cal area of Southdale, which allows forbuildings as tall as 12 stories. Sev- IF YOU GO What: Edina Planning Commission When: 7 p.m. Wednesday where: City Hall, 4801 W 50th St, Edina eral residents said they were con- cerned that the building didn't fit in that area of Edina and that bringing homeless youth to the community could increase crime and illegal drugs while decreasing homeown- ers' property values. While Mavity said she under- stands the concerns, she said the building will help homeless youths, which increased in Hen- nepin County suburbs by 27 per- cent between 2005 and 2011. The estimate of 250 homeless youths counts those in the Bloomington - Richfield -Edina area "There's not a lot of affordable housing in Edina, so there's not experience with this," she said. 'But it's a positive contribution to the communityopposed tothe fears and concerns that may rise in peo- ple's minds.' After two years of planning and looking at many other sites, Mavity said the bank building, at 3330 W. 66th St., is the perfect location for the apartments because it's across the street from a Metro Transit bus stop and is in the midst of many nearby entry-level jobs that could provide employment. Beacon would expand the build- ing for 39 studio apartments, each between 355 and 456 square feet. It would also have offices, a com- munity area for residents, a fitness room, a computer lab and laundry. Edina Community Lutheran Churchhas committed $80,000 and considerable staff and parishioner time toward the$10 milLiionproject Several other churches inRichfield and Edina are also supporting it. "It's really powerful to watch the community come together," said Mavity, a member of the St. Louis Park City Council. "You rarely get that kind of passion in support of something." If the Planning Commission rec- ommends approval of the rezoning and comprehensive plan changes, the plans are expected to go to the City Council for a vote next month. Kelly Smith • 612 -673 -4141 'Mutter: @kellystrib To Whom It May Concern: Having attended the meetings on the Fred Richards conversion to a park, I am compelled to point out what I feel is needed for a logical decision and some factual observations regarding this area: 1. An actual topographical site map showing the areas that have sub soil conditioning is needed to help decide which areas have the highest possibility of having a level, stable surface. It has worked for years in that the fairways look stable and level after 20 years. 2. We spent a lot of money 20 years ago digging out many areas, then laid down nylon mesh and backfilled It worked 3. Are we trying to solve some sort of water ponding issue? Leave the ponds as they are in that it is adequate for us in the area. The sketched plans show many more ponding areas. What's the square footage of ponds now as versus what is proposed? 4. The input from the adjacent residences, I believe, is that the sector proposed for facilities is preferred to be on the south side, i.e., the 77th Street side. The sketch shows that the active play area is concentrated in the northeast side of the park. Nothing along the 77`" Street side. The consultant's answer is that is because of some sort of soil condition. Back to number l . It's a guess. But there is currently a water hazard (i.e. pond) in that area now; not particularly suitable for a stable playground 5. The proposed parkway on the south side is the perfect place for parking on the roadway or for access to parking areas in the south sector of the park This then would suggest the sporting/play facilities should again be on the south side. 6. The proposed garden area or agriculture area is in what is now a buffer zone between residential single homes and apartment areas. This area has been used as an informal general use area for the people (apartments and single - family home residents) for 50 years. It has worked well, but is not heavily used, which says something about needs for our area, but I see kids, 2 or 3 throwing a football, etc., kite flying, soccer games, Frisbee throwing, etc., is what I observe. This is an overflow /flood ponding area taking water from Parklawn Avenue. From time to time there is standing water for a while; I would say, 1 year in 3. As this area is used now, it is not a big deal and informal use is not interrupted Leave it alone. 7. I believe the consultant leaves much to be desired He says, again and again, nothing is final. The council will decide. Consultants are hired to provide expert knowledge in specific areas of design that the council does not have expertise in. He mentioned sand boxes which are no longer installed because of the risk of infectious disease, etc. It bothered me that he was not aware of this. We need a more competent consultant. A breath of fresh air was stated by our mayor at the council group meeting that nothing of inventiveness was presented by our consultant. He gets my vote. I have lived at 7505 Kellogg Avenue, the last house adjacent to the park, for 40 years. The decisions on the park have a direct impact on my financial investment, which now looks negative.

This letter is regarding the above - referenced roadway project scheduled for 2015. We appreciate and thank you for your courtesy in reading it through. Yes, we do agree that the streets need to be replaced - most likely due to age and the multiple patchings that have occurred with new construction. We are, however, strongly opposed to the City's plans included, in the letter /questionnaire sent to homeowner's and more fully presented at the City's Informational Meeting on July 31st - illustrating the installation of sidewalks and narrowing of streets. Our comments are these: The City of Edina has a Living Street Policy (Context Sensitivity) - It affirms every street is a unique combination of its neighborhood. To accommodate these differences, tbe, City will-- 1) Seek input from stakeholders, 2) Design streets with strong sense of place, 3) Be mindful of preserving and protecting natural features such as trees, 4) Be mindful of existing land uses and neighborhood character. Homeowners were told of the City's Living Streets Plan. An independent neighborhood survey was taken on both Indianola and Juanita. The survey's results were brought to the City's meeting on July 31�` and show an almost unanimous opposition to the City's current plan as it relates to Indianola and Juanita. Sidewalks will mean the removal of mature trees - certainly damage to mature trees which will cause their eventual removal. Back of curb sidewalk design will not enhance the character of our neighborhood. In fact, it will create a considerable problem for homeowners in having to remove the plowed snow for five, possibly up to six, months each year. Mayor James Hovland August 12, 2014 Page 2 Edina has outstanding snowplowing service, but it has been our long experience that the plows do not plow to the curb. After a few significant snowfalls they are usually a foot or more away which narrows the street even more. If our streets are reconstructed to the proposed narrower width, winter months will be extremely difficult for two -way traffic to move safely. Backing out of single -car driveways will be a year -round adverse outcome of having a narrower street. Please reconsider the scope of this proposed project and the unfavorable end result it will create for the homeowners and the character of this unique neighborhood. We strongly support the streets reconstruction at their current width and no sidewalks.

"THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERT 7', 7'O U H ,4 YE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE" 11 ... WHILE DOING THEIR OWN PERSONAL NIGHTTIME JOY -RIDING ON EDINA'S PUBLIC PROPERTY ... IN POLICE CRUISER WITH ITS LIGHTS OFFM Dear. Sgt. Conboy, You may recall speaking with me on 06/30/2014 at 9:4:3 am, about an incident that occurred with myself, Scott Anderson, and my wife, Bethel Anderson, and 2 of your "RESERVE OFFICER" Edina Police Officers. We were out walking our dogs at around 9:60 pm, on June 26th , 2014, as we do every night, when things got juicy with 2 of your finest "RESERVE OFFICERS" from the Edina Police Department, who just happened to be driving around the northwest part of the Edina High School parking lot, WITH THEIR LIGHTS OFF AT, AT NIGHTTIME, and ordered us off the Edina Public School Property. "THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE", they demanded. Our house is located about 1 -2 blocks away from Valley View Middle School / Edina High School. Being as both of our daughters attend Valley View and the Edina High School, we like to enjoy the close proximity of living to such a facility. We are blessed to be able to walk our girls to school, to attend their Page 2 lacrosse games and band concerts, and to walk our dogs around the grounds, etc, at such a nice facility. If we find a piece of trash strewn on the sidewalk, we will pick it up. I carry 2 extra empty bags for picking up my dogs' waste when walking our dogs, and sometimes when I see the dog waste left by others, I do actually pick it up. And we are not alone in caring for our schools, the grounds are usually spotless and most citizens treat this facility with the respect that it deserves. Every weekend there are pick -up soccer games or kids kicking around a football on the school grounds, there are joggers running down the sidewalks or up & down the steps on the north side of the parking lot. It is literally used by hundreds of people for exercising, walking, etc. This public facility is enjoyed by the Edina public and the city taxpayers at large, and we do our best to maintain its beauty the best that we can. All that being said, I would like some answers as to the Edina Police Department's position on citizen -use of this facility, citizens of Edina no less, for walking around the school on sidewalks, on steps, in the grass, or on the athletic fields. Can citizens like us, tax - paying citizens who pay for this public school, do we not have the right to be on this property? Or is it indeed, "PRIVATE ", as some members of your Edina Police Department are advising us? On June 26, 2014, at approximate 9:50pm, my wife and I were walking our dogs around the school, as we do probably 2x each day, on the sidewalks, through the parking lots, up the stairs, etc., at Edina Public Schools. As the attached diagram shows, we were on the north side of the building going counter- clockwise, when we were approached by an Edina Police vehicle at about 9:60 pm. It was a 4 -door, small SUV type of model, driving slowly in a clockwise direction (opposite of us) with its lights off. The driver had short blonde or light brown hair, in almost a crew -cut type of look, the passenger had darker hair, was heavier, with short brown hair. Both were probably early to mid 20's? My wife & I had just walked past their slow- moving vehicle, when the officers stopped their vehicle and started giving us "the business ", through their open windows. The driver informed us, "THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND YOU NEED TO GET OFF THE PROPERTY ". I replied that our girls are students here and we live nearby, we walk here frequently, etc. But this officer, the driver, in no uncertain terms, boldly told us that we have no right whatsoever to be on private property. (Isn't there some kind of baseline IQ Test that these "RESERVE OFFICERS' need to pass before getting a uniform?) He said that unless our daughters have an event at that school, we are strictly forbidden from stepping foot on the property, and once the event is over, we need to leave. We were trespassing on private property, blah blah blah. Since we did not have our camera phones to record the conversation, and since it was at nighttime without any bystanders around, we just gave the officers a goodnight and went on our way. But make no mistake, these 2 officers were looking strictly to flex their muscles in the official Edina Police Department police vehicle, with its lights off, no -less. And I'm not talking intellectual muscles, for those obviously were in short supply with these 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS ". But we had nothing to back us up, no phone, no others around, and we just wanted to get away from these 2 guys. They were pushing for something, but we had nothing to back us up, so we left. So this then led me to call into the Edina Police Department on June 30, at 8:37am, to inquire about this situation. The lady who answered the phone transferred me into a voicemail box, and I left a message, for you I believe. And then you, Sgt. Conboy, called me back to discuss the situation. Page, 8 We are literally 2 of hundreds, perhaps 2 of thousands, of people who walk around and through Edina Public School Property. So here's my list of questions for the Edina Police Department, and please enlighten me with the official, Edina Police Department's position, on these issues. 1) What are the names of these "RESERVE OFFICERS" who initiated a confrontation with us? Edina Officer DICK, K advised me today, that there is only 1 vehicle available to these "RESERVE OFFICERS ", so this should be an easy question to answer. Ummm, last I checked, we live in Edina, not Chicago or South Central LA. So the tough -guy -cop thing, especially now that we've learned these 2 guys were not even actual cops, is a bit troubling. I feel that there's no place in Edina for behavior such as this and I will do my darndest to make sure that these 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS" will not be roaming the streets of our city in the future if possible. Their behavior indicates an utter lack of intelligence, to say the,least. Please advise. 2) Are these 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS" still acting as "RESERVE OFFICERS "? Hopefully not. S) On what grounds were these "RESERVE OFFICERS" questioning us? There are no signs on property about citizens not being able to walk, play,�or set foot on the property. Please advise and expound on the position of these-2 "RESERVE OFFICERS" to act in this authority. 4) Who is responsible for hiring and training "RESERVE OFFICERS" before turning them loose in our city? Who advised these 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS" that Edina residents are not allowed on Edina Public School Property? Is this really part of the Edina Police Department training regimen? Or are these 2 guys just loose canons driving around and harassing people for the fun of it? Please advise. 5) I asked Sgt Conboy to listen to the tape of our conversation with these 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS ", as -he could easily go back and listen to how the "RESERVE OFFICERS" stoppedus, hear the whole conversation, etc. But Sgt. Conboy advised that "RESERVE OFFICERS" are not mica up and there are no recordings of them while they are on duty as "RESERVE OFFICERS ". WHAT MI I find that highly unbelievable ... or highly troubling. `RESERVE OFFICERS" turned loose in our city without any recordings whatsoever? Just cut, loose to act with impunity, in police vehicles, wearing police garb, to just go out and harass citizens of Edina as they see fit? Without anyone monitoring them in any way, shape, form whatsoever ? ?? No way, that can't be possible, I just don't believe the Edina Police Department would risk that But please advise. 6) And lastly ... What on God's Green Planet Earth were these 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS" doing on the north side of the school parking lot, at nighttime, with their lights'off, alone, at about 9:50 pm on June 26, 2014? What were they doing? "QUICK, THESE 2 MIDDLE -AGED PEOPLE WITH THEIR 2 SMALL DOGS ON LEASHES WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK JUST SAW US HERE, IN OUR SQUAD CAR.... LETS ACCUSE THEM OF SOMETHING!" Huh ? ?? I don't know what was going on, or what they were looking for, or anything about why they were even there. Whatever they were up to, they quickly set their sights on us and then questioned us, and then nervously kicked us off of the Edina School property, because "it was private property ". Page M So all in all — is this what the Edina Police Department's "RESERVE OFFICER" program is all about? If so..... STOP THE WORLD — I WANT TO GET OFF! If not, who the heck is responsible for cutting these bozos loose into our neighborhoods to harass the citizens of Edina ?? You may wonder, "Why is Scott just now saying this after almost 9, months have passed "? Because on Monday, on 8/11/2014, at 9:16 am, I was given a citation for a "TRAF- SIGNSTOP SIGN" (citation #270614210306). Officer DICK, K, stopped me for apparently not stopping correctly at a stop sign. It was wet outside, and I had just left work nearby and my tennis shoes were still wet on the bottom .... CONVERSE ALL-STARS.. NO TRACTION. My foot slipped and I herkily jerkily went through the stop sign, but I did slam on the breaks after- the -fact. I saw the cop car to my right, and I thought, "NO WAY, THEY AREN'T POSSIBLY GOING TO TICKET ME FOR THIS" ? ?? And naturally, here comes officer DICK,K racing up behind me to pull me over. She was nice and polite, and I informed her immediately what happened with my foot, and she noticed it also, she even acknowledged this to me! "Shoes wet..... Yeah right!!" , you say. But I have rubber floor mats and I wear tennis shoes ... the water's not absorbed and I work about 2 miles from where I was pulled over. Regardless, Officer DICK,K takes my license and registration, goes back to her vehicle, and then of course comes back to give me a ticket. You'd think there d be some discretionary action on her behalf, but officer DICK,K thought otherwise, and that is 100% her option and in her right. But the situation with today bothered me — it REALLY bothered me. It bothered me because we citizens give the Edina Police Department the benefit of the doubt, as in those 2 "RESERVE OFFICERS" that we gave a pass to back in June after speaking with Sgt. Dan Conboy about their behavior. These 2 bozos were dead wrong — "no ifs, ands or buts" about it. You'd have to be brain -dead to think otherwise. These guys were nothing more than low -IQ'd thugs on a power trip, to be precise. But we let it go. However ... when when the shoe is on the other foot for the Edina Police Department, you guys can't write tickets fast enough for the citizens of Edina, as in "I'm getting mine type of a situation. Well touch6 I suppose, and here's my letter to you and to the mayor of Edina. Will it solve anything? Probably not, other than the Edina Police Department probably will flag our names & motor vehicles to nail us as many times as possible I guess. I do respect that a traffic violation is indeed a traffic violation, I get that. But I guess it'd be nice to see some common sense and /or some compassion out there with the Edina Police Department. And right now, I'm not seeing either, that's for darn sure. Scott Anderson 6001 Chapel Drive Edina, MN 654#9 962 -239 -8048 Page b ** *AND THEN TODAY ... 8/12/2014, at 9:80 am ...

Upcoming Work in Fulton and Linden Hills Neighborhoods Beginning approximately August 18 and continuing into September, work will occur at several locations in advance of the actual sewer rehabilitation (see figure), starting at 49th and Drew and proceeding east. This work will involve digging a trench across the street (or alley or driveway), installing a temporary pipe section, and. repaving over the pipe. Work at each crossing will typically take less than one day. Please drive with caution in these areas. Flaggers will direct traffic, and steel plates will temporarily cover excavations while work is underway. No roadway closures are expected at this time. While the work will be noisy, all work is expected to occur during the daytime.

FLANDERS 7151 York Avenue South Apt 1114 Edina, MN 55435 952- 830 -1289 Email: nsflanders29@jzmail.com August 12, 2014 Edina City Mayor James Hovland City Hall 4801 West 50'e St Edina, MN. 55424 Dear Sir: As you noted in the August 4te meeting, robotics are the future. It was fun to be in the audience when these Edina kids were recognized for their excellence. We have too few dreamers who look to the future and changes to come. Such is the case for buildings when you are running out of land. Later in the meeting, I spoke in opposition on the proposed building on the same land as Yorktown Continental, 7151 York,Avenue So - my home. I mentioned I'd once worked for architects and engineers. One of those was Michigan Architect, Gunnar Birkherts, who designed the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis on the Nicollet Mall. At the time, he was advocating for buildings far above the ground or underground to preserve the landscape thus leaving the natural environment for people to enjoy. No doubt it would be more costly — or would it? Looking at the destruction this past year to homes and business,(including a land slide at University Hospital) storm damage is costing billions. Then look at the high cost of energy, not only for the fuel itself but the damage done to the environment in extracting it (fracking) destroying mountains (coal) and pollution that poisons the waterways. It takes very little energy to heat or cool underground structures. As an optimist, I believe in fairness and justice. It was the first time I'd spoken to the City Council but I discovered the rules of the "game" were unjust/unfi it in that the developer and contractor had all the time they needed, as you asked questions of them. Once our speakers finished their 3 minute talk, we were silenced — unable to rebut what both the contractor and Council Member Josh Sprague claimed. The voice of " we the people" were silenced. Councilman Sprague claimed to have visited Yorktown Continental and didn't remember any sidewalks. The Master Carpenter once said, there are those who see but don't perceive or hear but don't comprehend. It isn't difficult to see I for it runs around three sides of the building. From the backdoor, it starts just past the garage, then heads north and goes around three sides until it ends at another garage on the south side. Many of us use that sidewalk for our walking exercise; we use the tarred roadway to finish our walk. Since all traffic for Yorktown Continental is now being congested in the back, you might want to check with your Fire and Police Departments to understand the impact it has on them or the ambulance that often follows this rescue team when seconds could matter. Ask them how easy it will be to transfer a patient on a gurney out the narrower corridor and out the back door rather than thru the wide lobby. According to their statistics, they are very familiar with Yorktown Continental for they were here 200 times in one year - July 2013 to July 2014. One of our residents did his own traffic study of arriving vehicles that had two entrances to the building. This is his observation: "Retired police officers are deeply concerned about safety" with all the traffic congested at what is now the back door. The covered walkway to York Avenue is a nice addition but the younger residents occupying the building all seem to have cars and that new parking lot is going to be someone's nightmare when the first ice and snow cover both the lot and the autos. Where are they going to put the snow when the plow comes in? They aren't going to be able to level that hill once they encounter Xerxes Avenue. I can already see the gully washer in a rainstorm; it won't be as spectacular as Minnehaha Falls but will end up washing thm the parking lot. As I tried to say at the meeting, Continental Gardens is a beautiful building and Edina needs more care centers for the elderly but it is too large for that small piece of land; it's being built at the expense of the residents at Yorktown Continental. With only 10% of the rooms being a lower income, there's not much chance that most of us could afford to live there if or when we need care. It will be an eyesore for the residents above the 4' floor — and what are the 2nd and 3' floor residents seeing from their windows? Would you or your council members want to see this from your homes windows? And how about a parking lot in your backyard? Would you enjoy walking across that in order to find the greenery we have available now? The Gazebo and flowers are going to sit right on Richfield's boarder; it's there greenery we will be enjoying as we turn our backs on the blighted landscape in Edina. I'm amazed that no one questioned a fire pit — one of the greatest air pollutants around; they've been banned in many places. Seniors in a care center are going to be subject to more lung damage. Cigarettes are not the only carcinogens. High volume traffic, wood fires, diesel and planes as well as lawnmowers are all pollutants — some not only damage lungs, they damage ears with the high decibel noise. It pains me to see the destruction taking place where pavement and more concrete take the place of grass and flowers. Its been said that people without a vision will perish. It appears there is no vision beyond five or ten years. Frustrated by narrow minds, Nina . Flanders FIRS PITS Every good and useful thing has its limits Camping is great family fun. (At least that is howl remember it.) But a recent camping outing at one of the Three Rivers parks turned out to be a different animal altogether. Stinky, smoldering pit fires every- where, allhours of the day and into the night. Itusedto be that campfires were lit to prepare food and sit around to swap stories and sing.Now it seems pit fires are lit as soon as campers arrive, burning constantly, a few yards apart, providing an ambience of acrid, lingering smoke. Another manifestation of the "I do because I can" mind -set. Now let's hear it for the pit fires in our suburban neighborhood back yards...

As a senior citizen who has lived 16 years in the vicinity of the proposed Beacon Interfaith housing Collaborative I am extremely upset at having this project in my proximity. I am unable to attend the meeting as I work evenings.. First, this is within walking distance of my home and that raises major security issues in and of itself. Even if these young adults mean to live right, we are all human and they can make mistakes. I cannot afford robbery at this time in my life. Second, I have read and studied the Churches website. These are well meaning but naive people, from the laid off General Mills exec to the failed rock star musical director. I get it that they need to make a living and a life -we all do, and this is a noble, well meaning pursuit, but these people do not know what they are getting into. Faith is fine - house them next to you and have faith that they will not endanger your safety. I am not even addressing the effect on property values. I will have to install much better security at a significant cost to me and significantly up my insurance -who will pay for that? And, what will this do to insurance rates - obviously raise them! Unlike these well meaning church folk, I grew up in a tough location and understand what troubled youth go thru from first hand exposure.. Will there be competent supervision? And by competent I mean people who do not get fooled by their belief in the goodness of all mankind and people trained specifically in the justice system. "Jesus ain't gonna fix this" —if that worked Israel would not have the turmoil it has today. Will my taxes have to pay for that? how about drug testing and weapons checks? There are good and bad acting people in all social strata and demographic categories, but this is extremely high risk and inviting trouble..

Neal; Cary Teague; ann Swenson; Joni Bennett, Josh Sprague; Mary Brindle (Comcast) Subject: Pentagon Park development exhibits and traffic modifications Dear Mayor, City Manager, City Council Members, Director of City Planning and Planning Commission Members, . I have been studying the Pentagon Park Development Exhibits #s 13 thru 21 and am very concerned about the amount of Fred Richards land that is proposed for the benefit of the new development! In all but i of the 8 development proposals, the following structuring is planned to occur on Fred Richard's land: -A parkway - parking for the development - Stormwater swales -green space between a trailway and the development (though technically owned by the city) would be used as part of the development - larger and reconfigured water ponds! Given the amount of land incorporated into the development as proposed by 7 of the 8 plans, I believe the city's comments to residents that the Fred land would not go to the developers are inaccurate. I would like residents to have the honest plans and be able to really see how much of the land will be incorporated into the Pentagon development. As of now, I believe residents are under the impression the city has said none. But these exhibits show otherwise! Also, I have read the traffic prediction studies. A "No Build" prediction for horribly congested traffic in the area for 202o and 2030 shows too many D, E and F predictions. A "Build" prediction show it so much worse with way too many E's and F's when DE is categorized as the lowest acceptable traffic level! How is it that you think we have room to add lanes to France? Where is the money to add all the lanes and ramp changes going to come from? We have money for this but not to keep the Fred going? It also amazed me that we think there is enough money to consider making Highway loo a tunnel under a greenway at 5oth if we don't even have the money for the Fred! Clearly the Fred was taken to use the space for the development and not because of funding. The evidence clearly points to this. It is too bad also that the more I learn the more it appears that a new incoming city manager, who did not know much about our city neighborhoods, was a major force in deciding to shut down the Fred. There should be NO parkway, parking, or swales that benefit the Pentagon development on any Fred land!!! If there is, we will have a promise and trust broken with Edina citizens.

I am not in favor of residential ag plots that would become weedy, an eye sore multiple times a year and a dust bowl in the Fall, Winter and early Spring. 15 plus years ago money was set aside in .a park referendum to improve the North grounds (level ground and remove cement, clean the cottonwood base area, thin and remove appropriately, add a winding bike /walking path through the perimeter area and add trees along the path. This with with leaving center area for kids to play catch, play Frisbee or whatever). The funds evaporated as may parks in Edina got new excessive amounts of chips around trees, as the bases around trees at Lake Edina just grew and continue to grow wild. I am in favor of improving what we have._ The cottonwoods need to be thinned and some need to be completely removed. The base needs to be cleaned: nd chips need to be placed. The surface cement needs to be removed and dirt added leveling the ground. Fall leaf pick -up needs to occur without me having to call every year. Drainage needs to eliminate standing water and new lakes forming when we get excessive rain.

I am a new resident of Edina and when I heard about the 66 West housing project I vvas so excited to hear that my new community has the opportunity to support our community members who ofien,get lost in this world. It was great to hear that my new community has ,the opportunity to reflect my values as a`Christian living in Edina. For most of those who live in Edina, God has truly blessed us beyond wildest dreams. As a member of Christ's family and knowing that God has a specific plan for EACH and EVERY one of His children, 66 West provides our community with the opportunity to share what God has given us with others. While I have never had to worry about where I am going to stay, where I could do my homework or if I feel safe, I know that there are hundreds in our community who face these issues each and every day. It is.very difficult for young adults to`do well in school and hold on to jobs when they are worrying about what they will eat and where they will sleep. 66 West will provide these basics, so our, community members can focus on bettering themselves and in the long term bettering our community. Edina has always been a community with great public services - our schools, our parks, our community education programs, our - libraries and our'neighborhoods. 66 West will allow us to share our community resources with those who need a little extra help getting started. By inviting others into our community not only will we be blessing them, bikthey will bless us by bringing needed diversity (world view; income,. age; gender and social experiences) to our community. Thank you for this opportunity to share my support of the 66 West Housing Partnership.

I have felt safe in the past With the influx of new people in the neighborhood, I will feel more at risk. I bought a property in this neighborhood because it was safe. There is a Montessori School right behind the proposed Young Adult Apartment. They say the Young Adult apartment will have Security Service, what about us? We don't have security service! This proposed Apartment will bring in young people from all walks and it is right across the street from Southdale. How convenient for shoplifting, grabbing purses, etc. The initial young adults will be very well screened BUT as time goes on rules often become relaxed. Whether these "Young Adults" come from stable homes or are homeless. Many Young Adults are not mature enough to handle the responsibility of saying NO to other Young Adults who bring in bad elements of life, such as, drugs, etc. We start with 39 Studio apartments, 39 people, and THEN some will invite in friends to stay with them and soon we have 50 people. Haven't we learned our lesson, too much of the same is just not a good thing. Look at low income housing projects in all cities.

Providing housing to homeless youth is of critical importance in our community. Beyond the moral imperative, there are great benefits to be reaped by helping disadvantaged young citizens become productive members of our society. And, as your research on the matter has certainly shown, the perceived negative aspects of this kind of project, such as an increase in crime, seldom become a reality. In fact, crime will often go down as the stress of homelessness that can lead to crime has been mitigated. I hope you all will vote in favor of this project should itreach the city council.

First, Mrs Mavity does not live in our °city, second, how many of the 27% increase in homeless teens are actually from Edina, third, how much more crime will this move bring to our small town, and fourth, how many of those in the churches backing this proposal do you think actually live in Edina. Does this community really want or need the homeless housed here? People live here to get away from those who can't or don't keep a job or a house; we pay extra for our homes and in our taxes because of great schools and beautiful neighborhoods. We don't need to look any farther than Minneapolis downtown to see where the homeless hangout and how they live. Why-on earth do we want to have them close by? Perhaps it's because Anne Mavity has a new cause that she can add to her resume about how she can get things accomplished. It is too bad she dosn't take her passion into her own neighborhood and try to create housing for the homeless there. All I can think of is what a great way to lower property values! Please stop this push before it goes any further.

But I believe it is more important for everyone to be on the same page. I was heartened by the actions you and your respective Councils took to address greater transparency and accountability on the part of the MCWD Board of Managers. It is my understanding that as of Friday, August 8, Minnetrista, Independence, Greenwood, Deephaven and Shorewood had all communicated their concerns in writing over the need for MCWD to broadcast their public proceedings via internet or cable. Copies of the communications from all five cities are attached for your review and files. Over the last six weeks, I have been regularly attending all of the MCWD's Board and Committee meetings. Contrary to some press reports, Manager Blixt raised this issue at the August 7 meeting of the MCWD's Policy and Programs Committee. As that discussion made clear, Manager Blixt made clear she was not seeking a substantive discussion of the issue since only 6 of 7 Managers were present. Instead, Manager Blixt raised the issue to make certain that staff would be prepared to address technical and financial aspects of this issue when it is taken up by the full Board. No specific date was discussed at Thursday night's Committee meeting as to when this matter will be addressed by the full Board.. Regardless, Manager Shakleton was kind enough to provide a preview of some of the push -back you can expect from some of the Managers on this issue. Manager Shakleton made clear he opposes an initiative for the MCWD to broadcast its public meetings because it would encourage "grandstanding." As I listened to Manager Shackleton, I wondered who among the seven Managers he feels would engage in grandstanding? At any rate, Manager Shakleton argued State Legislature does not broadcast all of its meetings; according to Manager Shakleton, when a controversial or politically sensitive issue is coming up for a hearing, legislative leaders schedule the hearing for a basement hearing room into which cameras are not allowed. This was news to me, and I very much doubt this to be the case; it is my understanding that all hearing rooms are equipped with cameras, and the only meetings that are not recorded are caucus meetings. You need not take my word for it, however. I believe that former Senator Gen Olson would know the truth of this matter, and I would encourage any of you who have questions regarding the Legislature's policies and procedures in this regard to speak with Senator Olson. As this issue advances, I will attempt to keep all of you apprised of further developments. In the meantime, if you, Members of your respective Councils, or staff have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to .email or call me. I will do my best to provide you with information I have at my disposal, or direct you those who can provide you with the.information you seek. Very truly yours, Tom Thomas W.

ScottZerby, the Deephaven City Council had a discussion on August 44 about requesting that the MCWD Board of Manager's consider video broadcasting the Board's regular monthly meetings. Our Council came to the unanimous conclusion that televising MCWD board meetings would be an enormous benefit to our residents, City Council and city staff, not to mention a significant benefit to all the other communities.in the Watershed. The MCWD. is intrinsically: involved with so;many issues of importance to our community, including water quality, surface water management, and the management of aquatic invasive species that we believe the ability ta view the discussions, debates and decisions that are made on these issues is critical to the understanding and education .of our residents and decision- makers. With so.many governmental agencies now televising their board meetings, some without nearly the same scope as the MCWD, we believe that it is equally_ critical for the MCWD to provide broader and more convenient access to your meetings, A great number of our South Lake. cities utilize the services of the Lake Minnetonka Cable. Commission to televise their meetings and we understand that the LMCC would be willing- to provide thin service. to the MCWD at avery reasonable price. However, whether you choose the LMCC or some other venue, we believe that the decision to televise your meetings'is long -overdue. We thank you in advance for your consideration of this request and look forward to hearing your discussion on this issue at an upcoming MCWD board meeting. Sincerely, Paul A. Skrede.

Thank you for those comments and the suggestion of daylilies within the boulevard. As you stated, the City has implemented those in some of our boulevard areas for reasons such as snow and ice kill or the difficultly of establishing turf in a narrow boulevard along our busier streets. While we think this area may be a good candidate for daylilies, our current permit requirements for private contractors do not allow us to require that. I have discussed this with CenterPoint. They recognize the area has not been restored to City standards and they intend to place new sod along that boulevard.

We have lived in Edina for 46 years at 9 Woodland Road, 55424. We have raised three daughters in this home. Two of them are married, have three children each, and live at 4500 Drexel Avenue and at 4204 Sunnyside Road respectively. All of our daughters and six of our grandchildren have attended Edina schools. I- was a founding member of the precursor of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, the developer of 66 West; have served on the Board of Beacon for 10 years; chaired the Board for two; and am currently the Co- Chair of Beacon's Westminster/Plymouth Church Affordable Housing Taskforce, which was the sponsoring organization for Nicollet Square. In many respects, Nicollet Square is the conceptual model for 66 West. Four years ago Beacon launched this new apartment building on 37th Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, providing affordable supportive housing for 42 homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care. At that time, several Kingfield neighbors had some of the same anxieties and fears that; Edina residents mentioned in Sunday's StarTribune article. Since then, the Kingfield Neighborhood Association has a positive relationship with Nicollet Square and considers it a partner in neighborhood improvement projects. As a model for 66 West, Nicollet Square has a proven track record in the following areas: ,- Excellent management, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including a staffed front desk - -Each resident has his/her own room with bath and kitchen - -All residents pay monthly rent - -All residents have access to training in life skills; mental health counseling; employment referrals and ongoing support - -95% of residents are employed - -No increased crime in the area - -No increased illegal drug use in the area - -No decrease in property values in the area Without a doubt, 66 West will be a positive factor in the Edina community. As long -term Edina residents, we would be proud to support this addition to. our City. As a community that is blessed with so many resources, it is clearly time to give back, and advocate for homeless youth, that in other situations, could be our own daughters and sons.

Pls see the attached/below information re the Wage Gap/Income Equality Economic Report released today by USCM in conjunction with the first meeting of The USCM Cities of Opportunity Task Force Meeting in NYC at Gracie Mansion. Note I am resending the report/key findings -- which covers all 363 metropolitan areas in the country, so ALL CITIES -- in case you receive press calls, along with the accompanying press release and Commitment to Action signed by the mayors in attendance today. Also if your local media has questions about the report, P 1 ease direct them to us so we can put them in touch with the report's author at IHS. All the b est! Elena 202- 286 -1100 if questions WAGE GAP WIDENS FROM RECESSION AS, INCOME INEQUALITY GROWS: ON -GOING TREND GIVES TOP 5% NEARLY HALF- TRILLION DOLLARS IN ADDED ANNUAL INCOME IN 2012" New York -- Jobs gained during the economic recovery from the Great Recession pay an average 23% less than the jobs lost during the recession according.to a new report released today by The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) under the leadership of President Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. The annual wage in sectors where jobs were lost during the downturn was $61,637, but new jobs gained through the second quarter of 2014 showed average wages of only $47,171. This wage gap represents $93 billion in lost wages. Under a similar analysis conducted by the Conference of Mayors during the 2001 -2002 recession, the wage gap was only 12% compared to the current 23% -- meaning the wage gap has nearly doubled from one recession to the next. Prepared for the Conference of Mayors by IHS, the report was released in conjunction with the inaugural meeting of the USCM Cities of Opportunity Task Force at Gracie Mansion in New York City. The Task Force is led by New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and was established at the Conference's Annual Meeting in June to identify strategies for addressing income inequality, promoting economic mobility and creating jobs`in America's cities. "While the economy is picking up steam, income inequality and wage gaps are an alarming trend that must be addressed," said U.S. Conference of Mayors President Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. "This Task Force, led by New York City Mayor. Bill de Blasio, will recommend both national and local policies that will help to give everyone opportunity. We cannot put our heads in the sand on these issues," he said. "The nation's mayors have an `obligation to do what we can to address issues of inequality in this country while Washington languishes in dysfunction." The report also shows the gap between low and higher income- households is growing and will continue into the foreseeable future. In 2012, the latest year for which figures are available, 261 (73 %) out of 357 metros had a larger share of poorer households (those;making less than $35,000 per year); than upper income households of above $75,000. The report forecasts that middle - income households will continue to fall behind as higher income levels capture a greater share of income gains.. In 2014 median household income is projected to increase by 2.5% in nominal dollars, and then by 3.8% per year from 2015 through 2017. But average (mean) income is expected to rise faster, 2.7% in 2014 and by . 4.1 %through 2017. Faster growth in mean income compared to median income demonstrates growing income inequality. Adjusted for inflation, average household income fell 3.0 %, while median income fell 5.5% from 2005 -2012, according to the report. "The inequality crisis facing our cities is a threat to our fundamental American values. Reducing income inequality and ensuring opportunity for all is nothing less than the challenge of our times. As mayors, we are on the front lines and we must act now," said New York City Mayor and'Chair of the Mayors' Cities of Opportunity Task Force Bill de Blasio. "The Cities of Opportunity Task Force is bringing mayors from all comers of the country together to work together and leverage the power of municipal governments to advance a national, common equity agenda, and to also encourage action on a federal level." Boston Mayor and Vice Chair of the Mayors' Task Force Martin Walsh added, `Recognizing that each city has both universal and unique challenges, we identified three areas in which many of us believe there can be short-term, meaningful impact. In addition to this work we are committing to do together, we will all continue to work in our respective cities on disparity across all policy areas. In our conversations to date, we have identified additional factors related to housing, transportation, financial empowerment and a whole host of other issues that we plan to address moving forward. This is a long -term commitment for all of us, to effect lasting change in the lives of real people in our cities." Most notably, the report also found that since 1975, the increasing share of income earned by the highest quintile — the 20% of households with the highest incomes — rose from 43.6% in 1975 to 51.0% in 2012. Most of that gain occurred in the highest 5% of incomes, which rose from 16.5% in 1975 to 22.3% in 2012, a gain of $490 billion in 2012 income. The lowest two quintiles, or 40% of households, received just 6.6% of all US income gains since 2005, while the share of total income gains from the top 20% was 60.6% and the top 5% received 27.6 %. The report concludes that according to IHS economic models, the drift toward income inequality will persist in the coming years as it is a structural feature of the 21St Century economy. "Unless policies are developed to mitigate these trends, income inequality will only grow larger in the future," according to Jim Diffley, director of US Regional Economics at IHS and author of the report.

Since I have not heard back from the city engineer Chad Millner (whom ) have Copied) , I want to be prepared for the Thursday meeting at the Public Works Department. The developer spoke to the handling of excess water by utilizing the vacant'city owned, lot at 4232 Lynn Ave which is .46 acres. He then spun this as a great thing because the lot would never Vbe able to-be built on. My questions /comments are as follows; • I assume they would be paying a fair market value for this land similar to what they would be selling theirs for, otherwise what is in it for the city? 4 Couldn't this be handled on the vacant part of the 4232 Oakdale Ave land owned by the family • Who will be maintaining this parcel of land if, it goes that direction? • Have the city engineers studied, this alongside the SLP engineers since there is a drastic change in elevation to the west? • Is this something that will go to city council for comments from the public? • Is there a plarn they have submitted that can be reviewed by us? Again, myself and others in the neighborhood are concerned as this plan seems to have changed a bit and now with a developer on board there seem to be a lot of promises being made and past promises changed. I was very vocal in 1 helping them get this passed and feel as though it has taken a noticeable enough turn to have concern. I feel like they are trying to rush this to get it in before fall and not taking all of the issues into consideration. Thanks for your prompt response.

Subject: 5800 Stuart Avenue variance & Mike Platterer Mr. Hovland, Our home re- build,at 5800 Stuart Avenue is on the agenda for tomorrow evenings planning commission meeting. I wanted to.bring to your attention what I felt was. a confrontational situation between a friend /neighbor, myself via telephone and Planning Commission member Mr. Mike Platterer. Last night a friend /neighbor, Elizabeth Krieter, was driving by our home and noticed that a man was standing by our, fence taking pictures 'of -our backyard. She called me to ask if I was expecting anyone at.the house and I told her we were not and asked her to please go ask him who he was and why he was photographing my home. I stayed on the phone with her as she asked "Excuse me sir but I am wondering who you are and why you are taking pictures of this homes back yard ". He replied "Are you going to call the police on me ?" To which she told him that she just wanted to know who he was and why he was photographing the backyard. He told her "Mike. I said to ask what'his last name was' and she indicated "I have Molly, the home owner, on the phone`:and she's wondering what your last name is." He replied " Platterer', to which I told her I did not know a Mike Platterer and she asked him again why he was taking pictures. To this he replied that he was the Chairman of the Planning Commission and again asked if she was going to call the police. I indicated to Elizabeth that I was confused as I thought that the Planning Commission had all of our information for the meeting on Wednesday which she repeated to Mr. Platterer to which he snorted and 'said' "I'II' remember that for the meeting on Wednesday." He then asked if she.wanted,'him to delete the pictures and,indicated she could watch him delete them. Yet again he asked,lf she was going, to call the police. At'this, point I asked to speak to Mr. Platterer but, as she offered.the' phone to him he indicated that he was not allowed to speak to me before the meeting on Wednesday. She told him that she.wa's not going to call the police and explained that with. us: not living in the house we relied on the neighbors to keep an eye on it for us, which she was doing, and_.that is why she stopped to question him. I asked her for clarification on his last name.again to make sure that I had the information correct which she did and then she got in her car to return to her home. Not only was Mr. Platterer extremely rude and unprofessional; but I felt that he was also extremely confrontational. As a representative of the city of Edina he should have began the conversation by indicating who he was and that he was with the Planning Commission. Also, his comment in regard to my belief that they had everything they needed for the meeting made me very uncomfortable: and came across as a veiled threat as to how he would be voting on Wednesday. Taking into consideration the Ex Parte Communication section of the Planning Commission Bylaws I am asking that Mr. Platterer abstain from participation in any discussion in regard to our property and be disqualified from voting upon our request. I would also like to be assured that this type of behavior by a city representative is not acceptable and that steps will be taken so that it does_not happen again. I met.with Cary Teague this morning and discussed this situation as well as my request for Mr. Platterer's abstention. He indicated that he would be discussing it with Planning Commission Chairman'Kevin Staunton before the meeting on Wednesday. Please`contact'me with any concerns or questions.

We understand sidewalks are part of the citywide transportation network and are for the benefit of all users, not just the owners of the property they abut. With that stated, and with planned sidewalks for Arden Avenue and W 52nd Street, we don't see how sidewalks on Indianola, Juanita, and W 51st make strategic connections or advance the reach of the sidewalk network. Arden and W 52nd make strategic connections; Indianola, Juanita, and W 51st are just infill. Please consider removing Indianola, Juanita, and W 51st from the proposed Sidewalk Facilities Plan before it is presented to the ETC, Planning Commission, and City Council.

We will be at the public hearing tomorrow evening to speak. In addition to the Information in our letters we ask you to consider three (3) things: • First, we fully understand and support the need for supportive housing for young adults. In the Minneapolis residential neighborhood where my family lives, we are financial contributors to a facility blocks from our home. I drive by it on my way to work and our daughters and their friends pedal by it on their way to Sebastian Joe's for ice cream. • Second, we have been commercial real estate investors and developers in Edina and in this neighborhood for three generations. We choose to invest in part because as one of you noted at the last meeting, "Great cities were built with plans in mind." Edina planners and leaders.do not make reactive decisions or engage in hurried "spot zoning" to placate non - conforming projects. They listen to the sentiment and plan smartly — the expansion of the Regional Medical District in the Comp Plan is a perfect example. Third, does this request represent the best effort of the City to facilitate the need for supportive housing projects? Has there been, as Chairman Staunton remarked, "Structured conversation ... that involves the public?" Are the use and its rules clear? Is just 39 units on a site that costs nearly 2.5 times that of comparable housing sites in the Soutbdale area and requires complete rezoning, multiple variances and an amendment to the Comp Plan the best that can be done? Could better planning lead to doubling or tripling the opportunities to build supportive facilities in Edina without the need for such complicated land use. changes? We urge the Commission to deny the proposed requests and seek alternative locations. We would look forward to voluntarily being part of working with the City and the developer to pursue more suitable sites. Very truly yours, EDINA EAST LLC r_ t4, Thomas M. Nelson & James W.

Both our property and the Subject Site are located within the City of Edina's prized and consistently growing Regional Medical District (the "RMD "). This district was expanded as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and we oppose re- zoning and/or amending the Comp Plan to allow for any non - conforming use that will dilute the full potential of its intended zoning allowances. The RMD allows for up to 12 stories of height to accommodate a variety of intense uses that have synergy with its long standing anchor, Fairview Southdale Hospital, and its ever expanding volume of surgery centers, medical office space, clinics, laboratories, general office and other supportive commercial uses. The district was expanded in 2008 because it represents an important part of Edina's current and future reputation as a nationally recognized top tier community with the ability to attract the type of uses afforded by having a thriving RMD across the street from regional mall. In line with the goals of the expanded RMD, significant capital was invested to re- purpose our Edina East Building by ownership and our tenants, Dermatology Specialists, PA and Peoples Bank of Commerce. The magnitude of use was increased, the property was added back to Edina's commercial property tax rolls and it is now a viable component of the RMD. The same is occurring with the recent construction of the Twin Cities Orthopedics Building, the $42 million expansion of Fairview Southdale Hospital, the 60,000 square foot addition by IRET to Southdale Medical and Mount Development's 6500 France Senior Housing project. Other capable developers have footholds near the Subject Site with United Properties owning the Southdale Place Building and parking lot immediately west and Ryan Companies now managing the two buildings on the underdeveloped 5.67 acre site one parcel east at the comer of 66th and York Mr. Kevin Staunton City of Edina Planning Commission July 21, 2014 Page 2 Guiding responsible commercial development has been a cornerstone of intelligent City leadership creating "win- wins" for developers, citizens and the City. Changing current law to allow the proposed development would be a "win" for a single, non - conforming project, but a confusing "lose" for the RMD and its owners who have based their planning and investments on the wishes the City of Edina outlined in its Comprehensive Plan as the highest and best use for the Subject Site. Once the laws are changed they will be difficult, if not impossible to reverse for a completed project likely subject to 30 plus year affordable housing financing. We urge the Planning Commission, City Council and City Planners to use their expertise to seek "win - win ' .alternatives for the Beacon concept rather than rush through substantial, "one -off' modifications on an expensive site in the middle of the RMD at a gateway comer to one of only two north -south arteries through the RMD (Barrie Road). Randomly carving out this site this could have a negative effect on larger re- developments that may. involve assembly of parcels and/or require these comers for best access and visibility. We note that Beacon's willingness and ability to pay more than double the most recent comparable multi- family land cost per unit (Subject Site: $2.3 million/39 units = $59,000 /unit vs. 7200 France site: $5.5 million/195 units = $28,200 /unit) will greatly expand the pool of potential alternatives. We have met with the Beacon representatives, toured their inspiring projects and are aware of the well intended populist sentiment garnered at church gatherings and through pre - printed supportive post card signings. It is clear that there is citizen support for a Beacon project in Edina so why shouldn't it be located where it can offer a "win -win" for those served by the concept without compromising the potential of the expanded Regional Medical District? We request the that the Planning Commission and City Council deny the requests for rezoning and a Comp Plan amendment and continue to work with the developer to seek alternatives so the concept can move forward.

Every night there are hundreds of homeless youth and young adults in our area. As a VA physician I see the consequences of homelessness every day, in needless suffering and medical costs that need not have happened. Here's the business case for 66 West: 1. It will safely bring in 39 young adults who can go to school and work in nearby jobs. There are service jobs in our city going begging again, for the first time in years. 2. They will be mentored and helped, and yes, watched much more closely than if they were sleeping on our business porches, buses and neighborhood back yards. 3. They will be far more likely to grow up to be healthier, more productive, tax- paying citizens who will think fondly of Edina as the place that took them in when they were vulnerable and unloved. They will want their children to go to school here when they are running their own web -based marketing companies. As for those who don't want them in their back yard: They are already in your back yard, and hanging around your businesses at night, and some of them are already using drugs in your back yard. 66 West gives these young people a chance to develop healthy, legal, pro -social behavior. Thank you for service to our city. I will be at the meeting Wednesday, Aug 13, and would pleased to discuss further or answer any questions then or at another time.

Cities all over the state and nation are struggling to maintain the roads their residents, visitors and businesses. need to not only survive, but to.thrive. The first update in 20 years to our state's transportation funding was passed by the legislature in 2008, and state and county roads were prioritized. At the time, cities were promised our needs would be prioritized as part of a future package. What we know and what we are hearing from our constituents is that the time has come for the state to fulfill its commitment to our city infrastructure needs. Governor Mark Dayton's 2014 State of the State address identified transportation as a key priority for the 2015 legislative session, and legislative leaders have echoed his sentiments about a need to.focus on this issue. To ensure we are successful in securing the necessary financial support for our roads, we would like to invite you to join The 84% Coalition: Mayors for Municipal Roads. This bipartisan coalition will bring together mayors from across Minnesota - representing cities large and small — to discuss and identify solutions for new transportation funding for city streets. Members will participate in three strategic planning meetings; culminating in a funding package we will advocate for during'the 2015 legislative session. First meeting In Nicollet: This meeting will provide a refresher on transportation funding from the League of Minnesota Cities and a comprehensive look at the state of city roads from the City Engineers Association.

The Center for Transportation Studies will also provide us with viable options to review. Wednesday, October 1, 2014 10:00 a.m. —1:00 p.m. Exact Saint Cloud location pending. Third meeting in Saint Paul: During the final meeting of the coalition, we will determine the initiatives we plan to advance during the 2015 legislative agenda, as well as a strategy for success. Friday, November 7, 2014 10:00 a.m. —1:00 p.m. League of Minnesota Cities, 14S University Ave. W, Saint Paul, MN I hope you'll join this important coalition.

Those of us who live in the 55435 zip code are accustom to being considered nothing more than the dumping ground for projects that "real" Edina does not want in their neighborhoods but make "real" Edina look welcoming & progressive. Examples: 1.) Want Section 8 housing: Dump it in the 55435 area. "Real" Edina won't be affected. 2.) Want to increase the tax base: Build too many multi- family dwellings by Southdale thus creating unbearable traffic and congestion and put it in the 55435 area. "Real" Edina won't be affected. 3.) Want to look progressive: House homeless teens thus making the area less safe than before and put the that housing in the 55435 area. Once again, "real" Edina won't be affected.

So I was thinking that maybe we could put flyers out that tell where they could sleep, have a nice meal and maybe even get a jobl The other idea is that we could use old parking meters to collect change to buy necessary things.

I've lived in Edina for forty years, at 5636 Woodcrest Dr, and 5610 Woodcrest Drive, where I grew up. I'm all in favor of affordable housing, and in Edina, but am not convinced the site is appropriate. It's expensive too. Have all other Edina sites been thoroughly checked out? Mr,Nelson's comments and proposal as a commercial real estate developer seemed particularly insightful and should.be considered. I imagine that many other residents are just learning of this, and have no time to adequately weigh in on the process. That is why we need the city council to really look at the big picture and carefully consider the ramifications of not only changing zoning code language, but doing right by all concerned. Commissioner Carr illuminated the pitfalls and the possibilities. When folly enters in, wisdom flies out the window.

Although, I did not stay until the end of the public comment section of the meeting (it was getting late and ,.repetitive), I'm interested in the outcome and-the decision made by the planning commission. I am ,currently neither, for nor against the proposed use of the TCF site, but do believe the argument presented by the applicants and, the vast (and overwhelming) number of supporters they brought to the meeting last night was somewhat myopic .in its approach No one can rationally argue against the mission of providing affordable housing opportunities to those who truly need help. However strong our zeal is to help those in need, there are other stake holders and issues in this situation that need and deserve to be considered before a decision is,made to re -zone the property in question. I think most people would support the re- zoning effort when and if the issues of economic impact, personal security, and future use possibilities are publicly addressed with real data and statistics based'on how these types of projects affect the surrounding neighbors and businesses. The legal, technical and moral obligation aspects were well (enough) covered last night, but there were some aspects that were left uncovered as well (at least in the time I was there): 1. What are the future use possibilities for this property once it is re- zoned? Is it possible that it could be converted to other uses such as a half -way house to help transition criminals back to society, (or other non- desirable uses). What is the law here? How do we protect against unintended or undesired use in the future? 2. What kind of safe guards will be in place to ensure drug and alcohol use will be monitored and controlled (considering the target market for tenants includes those under 21). Is it legally possible to do this? 3. What are the real crime or police statistics (base line and post implementation) for similar projects both here and in other cities around the country - not just this for this applicant. We heard two sets of numbers last night from two biased sources. 4. How do we think it will impact nearby businesses that could be in-social conflict with the sites proposed usage? The day care business :behind the property comes to mind. I can honestly say that given a range of comparable choices, I would not choose to put my young child or infant in a day care facility in such close proximity to low income housing - not because bad people necessarily live there, but because of the perceived risk. What about the residential properties behind 66 West? How will 66 West impact vacancy rates (in rentals), and property resale values because perspective renters and buyers may choose other options due to the proximity of 66 West? 5. Several times, it was quoted that this is the best site in Edina for. this kind of facility, but other considered sites were not discussed. What were those other sites and why are they inferior to`this one? These are pretty basic and rational` questions and I'm sure have been considered. If all of these have been researched and answered by the, city and the planning commission, then please be transparent with the community and share that information: In summary, I believe the City'd Edina has an obligation to socialize du,s project with residents and business owners a bit more and take a full 360 degree view of it before taking action (either up or down). Assurances from the applicant and its supporters are not enough to convince me (and surely others) that the positive impact of 66 West will outweigh the potential and possibly longer term negative impact to the surrounding community.

Traffic Impacts Beginning The Week of August I (Monday): • The road of France Ave. S. between W. 40 Stand W. 38'" St. will need -to close. This will allow-us to- remove and replace the old deteriorated and sagging sanitary sewer pipe and manholes under the street. The road will re -open in late October. During this time, thru traffic will be detoured via W. 44th St., Xerxes Ave. S., and W. 38th St. How Will the Work Be Done? MCES sewer 1- MN-342 is very badly deteriorated and sagged and will require total reconstruction. The work will involves excavation and removal of the old sewer pipe and maintenance holes, installation of new support piling, and installation of new sewer pipes and maintenance holes. The work is planned to be complete by fall 2014. Sections of the streets will need to be closed temporarily while the sewer is being replaced. Streets will be repaved and any affected landscape will be restored as part of the project. For More Information: Additional information about the Southwest Minneapolis Interceptor Rehabilitation Project will be posted and updated periodically on the Metropolitan Council's website: www. metrocouncil. orgIsewerconstructionupdates MCES staff are available to review this project with you and answer your questions in person or by phone or e -mail.

IV. CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Member Downing provided an update on the. recent meeting with the Fred Richards consultants. The goal was to define the purpose of the park, and there seemed to be consensus that it should be a community park very sensitive to neighborhood needs. It was noted the need for good communication about this project and for defining what is and what is not taking place to alleviate some of the confusion. Member Downing commented it is important for the Park Board to understand its role in this process going forward. Member Jones reported on the Living Streets initiatives; she noted it is important the parks are connected in the community for both bikes and pedestrians. She would like to provide an update to the Park Board at the next scheduled monthly meeting. Additionally, she reported that both the boys and girls Ultimate Teams won State this year. There will be more Ultimate players in the future, and the Park Board should keep that in mind in terms of field planning. 1 J.

REPORTS /RECOMMENDATIONS VI.A. Nine Mile Creek Trail Alignment Approval Ms. Kattreh noted Eric Nelson and Jonathan Vlaming from Three Rivers Park District are present to discuss the latest information on the Nine Mile Creek Trail Alignment. Mr. Nelson discussed the changes made to the route since the April and May Park Board meetings and also highlighted various crossings and access points as well as necessary easements. He noted the overlap connection with the Bredesen Bike Trail as well as the new bridge over Highway 62. Chair Gieseke asked about bike racks for students. Mr. Nelson noted he anticipates the School District would want bike racks closer to the school, but Three Rivers Park District can work with them on the issue. Mr. Nelson pointed out the underpass at 70th Street and the steep grade, which necessitates a loop in the trail in order to meet ADA requirements for the grade. Member Jones asked about another planned bike path by Burgundy Place. Mr. Vlaming responded there was a conversation between the City Engineer with the developers at that time, but he is not aware of any formal agreement reached. That said it is still doable. Member McCormick asked about communications with homeowners who need screening from the trail. Mr. Nelson discussed that proposed screening is offered if the trail is within 50 feet of the property line. Forty -nine informational packets were mailed out in mid -May to residents within 50 feet. Another 28 packets were sent out today to ensure the alignment is certain. As of yesterday, 30 of the initial 49 recipients have responded. The packet outlined five vegetative choices and three types of fence, or no screening at all. Twelve people asked for more time to consider the choices. For those who did not respond, the packet states a non - response will be treated as a request for no screening. Mr. Nelson recapped the timeline of the project. Engineering will continue through the fall, bids will go out this winter, and construction begins next spring. The goal is to have it completed by the end of the 2017 construction season. Member Jones asked about the security of the tunnel. Mr. Nelson responded all tunnels have lighting, and he has not heard of any security issues. Member Downing asked about the funding of the project. Mr. Vlaming responded efforts continue to be made to obtain funding for the west half, though the plan continues to be to build the east half in 2015 and the west half in 2016. Notification of the federal grant will be mid -2015. Member Jones asked about the trail's proximity to roads with speed limits over 30 mph. She asked about buffered trails along places like Gleason. Mr. Nelson confirmed that stretch will be buffered. The 2 A interim plan, is to use,existing trail on Smetana, but when it is reconstructed, it will become a full 10 -foot wide asphalt trail. Members Jones and Downing thanked the Three Rivers Park District for their work on the trail. Chair Gieseke noted it would be nice to have a vote on the final park proposal before the City Council meeting, but due to lack of quorum, it is not;possible at this time. VI.B. Request for Proposal for Park System Master Plan; Ms. Kattreh stated the working.group met to discuss a revision of the RFP for the park system master plan. The board discussed the number of board members allowed to participate in the working group without violating quorum bylaws. The board took a break at 8:05 p.m. The meeting resumed at 8:20 p.m. VI.A. Nine Mile Creek Trail Alignment Approval -- continued Chair Gieseke stated that in order to fulfill its advisory role, each of the five board members present will voice an opinion on the two matters on the agenda tonight, though a vote is not possible due to lack of quorum. Member Downing stated the project has been well thought through and he could not give it a bigger endorsement. Member. Jones echoed his comments. Chair Gieseke concurred with Member Downing. Member Jacobson expressed full support for the trail. Member McCormick expressed full support as well. Chair Gieseke summarized there is a non- quorum recommendation as a five out of five Park Board members approval for the project as presented tonight. VI.B. Request for Proposal for Park System Master Plan — continued Member McCormick asked for clarification about the minimum of meetings between the consultant and the Park Board. Ms. Kattreh clarified there will be six meetings before the Park Board. Member Jones asked whether it is a working group or a committee who will be working with the consultant. Chair Gieseke clarified it is a committee, since members of the public are not involved. Member McCormick asked about the surveys. Ms. Kattreh responded she recommends using one of the previously employed firms in order to do a large community survey. If the Park Board does not want to do a large -scale process, a consultant can do some type of surveying as part of its process. She would like the Park Board to decide on that distinction. 3 f r Member Jacobson noted she does not believe there is a good representative knowledge of what each decade of residents wants in a park system. She believes the prior survey was done with too old of a demographic. Chair Gieseke asked if there is sufficient information available to not spend an additional $20,000. Member Jones concurred the study she reviewed did not have great utilization information. She thinks if the Parks Department wrote a survey trying to identify parks needs, it would be written differently. She agreed on the importance of another survey. Member Downing concurred with the member comments on the need for another survey. Member McCormick added that the benchmarking will be helpful as well. Member Jones commented she would like to see benchmarking on recreational programming, healthy living, and creating communities. Member McCormick concurred the idea of creating communities is part of the strategy of the Park Board. Member Cella arrived at 8:33 p.m. Member McCormick asked about the process. Member Jones commented on the necessity of a strategy for the public engagement process both in the master planning process as well as for the Park Board going forward. Member Jacobson commented on the importance of focusing more on the water resources in the community. Member Jones noted she would like to have the consultant help with scheduling the maintenance for what we already have. Member Downing stated he would like the consultant to assist in future changing uses of the park. Member Jones commented she would like to emphasize the value of neighborhood equity in terms of parks. Member Cella noted the inventory has to occur before the issue of neighborhood equity can be examined. Chair Gieseke noted there is now a quorum present at the meeting, so votes can be taken. Ms. Kattreh outlined the timeline of the RFP process. Member McCormick made a motion, seconded by Member Downing, to approve the proposal with the following amendments: clarifying that the minimum of six meeting times was with the Park Board; changing the working group to a committee; adding the scope of work; including land and water activities, gardening, healthy living, recreational programs, and creating a community.

Park Board Members absent were Members Deeds; Student Members Good and Johnson. Ill. FRED RICHARDS PLANNING DISCUSSION - Facilitated by Kathy and Jeff Schoenbauer, Schoenbauer Consulting Kathy and Jeff Schoenbauer from Schoenbauer Consulting informed the Park Board that after talking to City Manager Scott Neal and Ms. Kattreh they felt it would be wise to touch base with the Park Board and have a brainstorming session. Ms. Schoenbauer explained to the Park Board what has been done to date. She indicated they want to be very cautious about getting ahead of where the.public is at, they do not want to be presumptuous about anything. Mr. Schoenbauer indicated that they had a good work session with a developer.for the Pentagon Park folks and what was promising and found'if.nothing else there is a,commonality in the aesthetics. He noted they also talked to the developer and some city.staff about the idea of the parkway and what the parkway`might and, might not mean to folks. Member- Downing asked if they have seen any themes that are starting to come up and one thing he has heard from is they would like to see limited traffic coming from the north; so limit the parking and active uses and push those to the south. Member Jones asked does the,city have any access or are there any easements on the south. Mr. Schoenbauer responded it's difficult to access the park because essentially there is a chain link fence along the whole southern border and with respect to the neighbors there is a concern about people migrating to the park through the neighborhoods. He noted that you have to provide access from a different angle that is more convenient. They will need to limit access from the neighborhood to the trails. Member Segreto commented in reading what the residents' concerns are regarding screening she thinks there is also a flip side and that is the site lines from the park. She noted that a park for her is to feel a sense of refuge and as she stands in certain places at Fred Richards and looks out and sees the backs of houses, to her that's a negative. She pointed out that in many places in Central Park, NY, you can't even see the buildings and it's not only because of the landscaping but because of the berms, it goes both ways. Mr. Schoenbauer stated that they know there is a demand for athletics and in talking with the neighborhoods the idea of an athletic complex per se with lights and such is not appealing and it becomes more of a challenge when you begin to look at the realities of the soils and site conditions. Member Segreto asked how many total improvements are they talking about to which Mr. Schoenbauer replied they have 42 acres; however, probably only five to ten acres of the whole site would be suitable for active uses. Member Segreto asked what kind of joint parking arrangements might be made with some of the industrial users so that they don't have to build parking spots. Mr. Schoenbauer replied there is definitely openness to shared parking with the developer. Member Jacobson asked if there will be enough parking to accommodate soccer games. Mr. Schoenbauer replied with the current parking lot he suspects not, but thinks with the redevelopment plan there certainly will be ample parking.. Member Jacobson asked if there are certain problem' areas, with the site. Mr. Schoenbauer replied with the recent heavy rains there was flooding even off.;the property into people's homes and apartments. He explained that the Watershed District looks at these as in their terms, "poor soils" and they.are easily saturated with water and they don't drain well. Member Jacobson asked is that something you will want as a soccer field. Mr. Schoenbauer responded, that for.the golf course it works,well enough but if you were to need a level playing field probably not; however, it would probably be suitable for the little kids youth soccer games. He commented that the question will become how much to modify those soils to get to a certain leve[6f quality. Chair Gieseke asked what the property looked like before it was a golf course to which Mr. Schoenbauer replied his understanding is it was athletic fields. Ms. Kattreh pointed out there -was a golf course that was on the west side and then the east side was your typical neighborhood park with ball,fields and a play structure. Mr. Schoenbauer asked if their understanding is correct that there is a need in terms of athletics and that it would lean towards the youth type of open fields. Member Jones pointed out in looking at the benchmarks that the National Recreation and Park Association have given, Edina could use more full sized soccer fields. She noted there.are other things they could use that are even more glaring but she doesn't see this as the right space.for a community center, which was a clearly stated goal in the comprehensive plan and Community Attitude and Interest Survey. In addition, according to the benchmarks, Edina could use another dog park, a competition size swimming pool, youth activity center, performing arts center and another community garden. Mr.,Schoenbauer commented that community gardens have come up in a couple of different ways and it has even been taken to the next level, if you will, to an urban agricultural feature where it is not only community gardens per se but it's:actually something that restaurants and such get involved with and has a stronger educational component to it. Member Segreto inforriied the Park Board that there is a place in New York called "Queen's County Farm" and it sits'on 42 acres (which is more than it needs) and is tended by seniors, people with disabilities and young people who are learning how things grow. It's more than a garden but less than a farm and is a place where people have weddings,4here is a community space and there is a real melting pot of people. She added it also has miniature sheep and young people are learning to shear the sheep and spin the yarn. Member McCormick commented'that she thinks they need to evaluate all of the parks and what they are used for to make sure they are using this park for its best use. Maybe a community garden or that type of a facility would be.better at one of the other parks that they haven't yet talked about. Member Downing noted:the survey that was done in 2006 and what struck him was that a lot of it was around nature trails; natural space and even converting some of it back to wetlands where birds come, etc. He noted that seemed -to.be an overwhelming thing just from the public's perspective and since that was the last time they took the survey, it strikes him as being important. Ms. Schoenbauer commented that several people have mentioned the 2006 study as, well as she also looked at the 2011 and 2013 study that is on the city website. Ms. Kattreh explained that the 2006 study was something that was done by-the Parks & Recreation Department and the other studies were done by the city, not focusing solely on Parks& Recreation. Member Jones stated that it was clear people were willing to spend money for trails because trails are something that the older population is going to be looking for, as well as the younger. Mr. Schoenbauer noted that's one of the things that came up today at their team design meeting is how to treat the regional trail going through the park. They need to make sure there is no confusion between where the regional;trails are and;where the internal;trails are to the park. That was also an expressed concern to the neighbors that the park trails don't become a defacto freeway. Member Segreto asked what they have learned about the need for a playground somewhere to which Mr. Schoenbauer replied a play area for kids has been expressed to some degree; however, if it's anything that.would create some noise that it is not placed too close to the residential area. Member Segreto stated.if they decide to go down that road she would like to at least evaluate a natural playground that is a deviation from your standard playground equipment. She_ noted they are not as expensive, as atypical playground; however, she doesn't believe it is ADA accessible and that might be an issue. Ms. Schoenbauer replied there are ways that you can address accessibility issues because it kind of depends. upon how you define accessibility; they have done a lot of -work on ADA projects. Member Greene commented he was more interested in the ball fields, specifically for the sports where they are short like lacrosse and soccer. He would recommend that it be fields for the 5 to 11 year -old age range which means you won't need lights. He noted he doesn't think it.needs to be built up; it's a golf course.and it's irrigated. If it's raining and wet they can play the next day but it's very hard and difficult to schedule in Edina for any sports because of the shortage. Mr. Schoenbauer asked Mr. Greene what kind of sports use he is thinking to which Mr. Greene replied there is a shortage of fields for baseball, soccer and lacrosse and those are fields for youth they don't need huge fields. Mr. Schoenbauer responded he thinks in the context of the neighborhood if it's kept more on the youth focus versus the adult focus and that;everyone goes home by 8 p.m. he thinks would be supported by the neighborhood. Mr. Greene pointed out that in the 1970s that is what that area was used for. Member Steel stated the user group she is concerned about is the 15 to 18 year -olds and the reason this location is critical to them is because the trail will connect to the high school and therefore she is thinking of it as a destination type place. There can still be athletic fields or maybe some kind of city programming where teenagers can volunteer to fix bikes. In addition, because of the high school, maybe during the winter they could cross country ski or snowshoe and maybe there could be a small warming house facility. She indicated there are not many locations that she can think of that would be good for a teenager. Member Steel noted that in talking about a new community center that was continuously an age group that came up. Mr. Schoenbauer noted that in mentioning a warming house that gets a little bit into the repurposing of the clubhouse and asked for thoughts on that. He stated if they are able to keep it separated.from the neighborhood through a good design he could see all kinds of different opportunities because at this point they are just looking at ways to maximize its flexibility. Member Jacobson asked if they have ever thought of different uses during the winter, possibly having a trail that you can walk on during the summer and cross country ski on in the winter as well as maybe there is potential for an ice skating rink. Member Segreto commented that winter uses are pretty terrific and noted maybe a gas bonfire, like the ones restaurants have, could be incorporated. She noted the topography at Fred Richards for cross country skiing may be kind of boring. Member Steel stated she was thinking more of the trail and not the park. Mr. Schoenbauer asked if Edina plans to plow that trail to which Ms. Kattreh replied it is currently not planned to be maintained during the winter. Member Cella indicated there are going to be some areas down by the high school that will probably deal with them because the high school cross country ski teams will use it. Member Jones talked about having a bike lending facility there and not just regular bikes but bikes that are fit for people with disabilities. Mr. Schoenbauer asked if that would be a facility that the city would manage. Member Jones responded the beauty about "Nice Ride" is that they take care of it, they are a charity group that offers it and she believes they want to expand into Edina. Member Steel indicated she recently saw a program where youth would volunteer for a certain number of hours in a bike shop and then they would receive a bike for their work and they continue to work because they already have an investment in it. She stated it would be a great program for the 10 to 18 year -old age group. Chair Gieseke commented it could be sort of a youth center, like the DECA group at the high school and they could also help with the community garden /farm, etc. Member Greene noted two other things that came up were first the lack of tennis courts that we have that are not cracked and the second was the sport of futsal, which is like soccer. He noted if you wanted to make your footprint smaller you could have futsal courts and tennis courts together. Mr. Schoenbauer responded that he did broach the subject of tennis courts with the Watershed District folks because they are familiar with the soils and in his own experience it would be very expensive on this site to get a tennis court not to crack. Member Jones pointed out Edina only has one disc golf course and it's so popular that people have to wait to get on. Mr. Schoenbauer asked what they thought about the trend towards extreme golf because the green space will allow for some of those evolving activities. Member Cella asked the Schoenbauers what their timing is for when this will be more formalized because she thinks it's silly to re- purpose Fred Richards before the Park Board finishes their assessment of the Edina park system. Mr. Schoenbauer noted in earlier discussions with Ms. Kattreh and Mr. Neal they discussed breaking up the project into logical steps so they didn't get too far ahead of what the Park Board wants to do. He explained that the first step is to basically create a story line around the repurposing of the Fred based on public interaction. He stated if he were to pick a timeline he would guess the project gets completed in the September /October time frame and by then the Park Board is moving forward with the park assessment study and you can then integrate their findings into whatever your timeframe is. Member Downing stated he thinks that is a valid point and wants to make sure it is noted as they go through the process and steps. He indicated it's great to get the neighborhood and Park Board's opinion on what the park needs in general but what overall does Edina's parks need in general and then what is the general population's need because this belongs to the city. He stated that his own frustration as they go through this is whatever they are developing by the time November rolls around or by the time February rolls around, whenever they get the study results back, will it be flexible enough that if an overwhelming item came up would they be able to change it. Ms. Schoenbauer indicated that for the visioning process for this project and figuring out the direction for the repurposing is to have things 4 finalized in the.October,time frame. He stated to Member Downing's point what you learn in the next phase through`your park system planning efforts can ducktail into this and then.that would impact the next phase ofthis which would become the detailed master plan. Member Segreto noted that she thinks they have to be a little sensitive about changing demographics in that part of Edina especially with.the number of minorities who are living in the multiple family homes. She stated if you have an extended family that lives in one or two apartments there is a need for picnic space and we need to be sensitive to that need. Mr. Schoenbauer replied that has come out in the discussions and they are aware of that, particularly with the apartment dwellers. He noted they need to find that balance between providing for that need, which is evolving, and respecting the concerns of the joining neighborhoods. Member McCormick asked because Cornelia School is so close,is there any way to have it so that children can go between the two parks. Mr. Schoenbauer.replied that issue did come upon one of their site walks. Member Jones asked when residents and the Park Board would see a design so they could respond to it to which Mr. Schoenbauer replied he hopes to be able to go back to the neighborhood and the public in September. Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. 5 _ MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF EDINA,.MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS JULY 9, 2014 7:00 PM 1. CALL TO ORDER 11. ROLL CALL Answering the roll call were: Scherer, Olsen, Lee, Carr, Forrest, Staunton Members absent from roll: Kilberg, Halva, Schroeder III. APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA Chair Staunton reported that Agenda Items VI. A. Mount Properties; 6500 France and VI. D. Frauenshuh, 5108 Edina Industrial Boulevard are continued to the next meeting of the Planning Commission on July 23, 2014. Chair Staunton added another item to the agenda: Ordinance Amendment — I -foot requirement. Commissioner Carr moved approval of the July 9, 2014 meeting agenda with said changes. Commissioner Scherer seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. IV. COMMUNITY COMMENT, Chair Staunton asked if anyone would bike to speak; being none,-Commissioner Olsen moved'to close community comment. Commissioner Platteter seconded the motion. All.votedaye; public comment closed. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS B. Whiteman. 3932/34 West 49th Street, Edina, MN Planner Presentation Planner Teague informed the Commission the subject property is 82 feet in width and is a 10,108 square foot lot developed with a double dwelling unit located north of 491h Street and is zoned R -2, Double Dwelling Unit District. The property owner is hoping to demolish the existing double for the construction of a new double dwelling home. Planner Teague explained the ordinance requires a double dwelling: unit lot consist of no less than 90 Page 1 of 12 A. feet in width and a minimum of 15,000 square feet. The 82 foot wide lot consists of 10,108 square feet, so it is therefore 8 feet short in width and 4,892 square feet short of the minimum 15, 000 square foot area requirement. The existing double dwelling unit was built in 1953 and pre -dates the current lot area requirements. Planner Teague concluded that staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the variance on the following findings: 1) With the exception of the variances requested, the proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for the R -2, Double Dwelling Unit District. 2) The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance, because: a. The proposed use of the property is reasonable; as it is consistent with existing conditions. 3) The imposed lot area does not allow redevelopment of the property without the benefit of a variance or a zone change. Approval of the variance is also subject to the following conditions: 1) Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the conditions survey dated stamped May 29, 2014 and building and elevated dates stamped May 1, 2014. Appearing for the Applicant Paul Whiteman and Tom Philbrook Applicant Presentation Mr. Philbrook addressed the Commission and explained in response to previous comments from the Commission the driveway was narrowed to brick paver driveway strips and building wall articulation was added to the sidewall to break up the mass. Continuing, Philbrook said he also worked with the neighbors to the east on a landscaping plan. Concluding, Philbrook stood for questions. Discussion Commissioner Carr stated she appreciates the sidewall articulation and asked Mr. Philbrook if the site requires retaining walls; and if so, at what height. Philbrook responded in the affirmative, adding all walls are under 4 -feet. Chair Staunton asked Planner Teague what's included in hardcover calculations. Planner Teague responded from a zoning standpoint hardcover includes the structure and any outbuildings with a one- time 150 square foot allowance for a deck/patio. Teague said he would defer to Ross Bintner, Environmental Engineer for further clarification on what he views for storm -water management analysis. Page 2 of 12 w Commissioner Platteter questioned the two driveways indicating he would prefer one as previously mentioned. Platteter said in his opinion the entire site appears "covered ". Mr. Philbrook responded the two driveways are market driven; adding each unit typically prefers its own driveway because it affords more privacy. Philbrook said in his opinion the paver strips minimize impact vs. one solid driveway. Commissioner Carr suggested that pavers could be used in other areas to minimize impact from drainage. Mr. Philbrook commented that the structure was designed to meet code. A discussion ensued on lot coverage requirements in the zoning ordinance vs. hardcover (what's out there). Planner Teague acknowledged that the proposal as presented meets all zoning ordinance requirements for lot coverage and setbacks. The variances requested are for lot width and lot area, adding when the subject lot was platted it met code; however, since that time the code was amended and now the lot is nonconforming; requiring variances. Ross Bintner addressed the Commission and explained that this afternoon the applicants submitted to him a revised plan. Bintner said in his opinion the standards were met and the lot coverage they indicated at 24.6% was correct. Bintner acknowledged that the Planning Commission looks at this request from a land use perspective; however, his perspective is different. Bintner stated the plan submitted July 9th met engineering review standards. A discussion ensued on the difference between Planning and Engineering requirements with regard to drainage and storm water maintenance and the fact that the drainage and grading plan was submitted immediately prior to this meeting and that the Commission had no time to review the new plans. Commissioner Carr asked Mr. Bintner if at the end of the day has the engineering standards been met and if he was comfortable with his assessment. Mr. Bintner responded in the affirmative; reiterating the plans submitted on July 9th are acceptable him. Previous plans were not. Public Hearin Chair Staunton opened the public hearing. Jim Stromberg, 3940 490 St. West informed Commissioners he lives in the neighboring house, adding he likes the proposal as submitted and would welcome this rebuild into the neighborhood. Stromberg pointed out this neighborhood is currently a neighborhood of change, reiterating he likes the plan as presented. Chair Staunton asked if anyone else would like to speak to the issue; being none, Commissioner Platteter moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Olsen seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. Page 3 of 12 Continued Discussion Commissioner Olsen stated as she mentioned at the last meeting she believes one driveway is adequate; not two as proposed. Commissioner Carr stated she supports the request; adding in her opinion the standards have been met. Motion Commissioner Carr moved variance approval based on staff findings and subject to staff conditions with the additional condition that the applicant present to City Staff a copy of the plans submitted to Mr. Bintner on July 9, 2014. Commissioner Platteter seconded the motion. Ayes; Scherer, Olsen, Platteter, Carr, Forrest. Nays; Lee, Staunton. Motion carried. 4 -2 C. Site Plan Review with Variances. Mesaba Capital Partners, 715 I York Avenue, Edina, MN Planner Presentation Planner Teague informed the Commission Mesaba Capital is requesting review of a proposal to build a four -story 100 -unit senior assisted living building west of the existing Yorktown Continental Senior Living apartments at 7151 York Avenue. The housing would include 70 units of senior housing with services and 30 memory care units. Ten percent (10 %) of the units would be for residents below 50% median income level. Features of the building include congregate dining with three meals provided per day; private dining; a coffee shop; a lounge area on each floor; a library; a computer room; a craft room and a fitness facility. Parking is provided underneath the building. The existing surface lot for the 12- story building has been relocated to the east side of the building and the number of surface stalls for that building increased from 123 surface stall to 140. Teague reported that the Planning Commission and City Council have considered sketch plan reviews of the subject property in 2013 and 2014 Planner Teague noted to accommodate the request; the following land use applications are requested: ➢Site Plan Review to construct the new 4 -story building; ➢ Front Yard Setback Variance from 46 feet to 20 feet; ➢Density Variance to allow 364 total units on the site from 182 units allowed under current zoning (the existing building is nonconforming with 264 units); ➢Parking Variance from 194 exposed and 91 enclosed spaces to 162 exposed and 64 enclosed; and ➢Variances to allow one bedroom units under 500 square feet, and two bedroom units over 850 square feet. ➢Preliminary Plat. Page 4 of 12 Planner Teague concluded that staff recommends that the City Council approve the Site Plan with the proposed variances at 7151 York Avenue based on the following findings: I. The proposed new building would be separated and screened from the single - family homes to the east by the existing 12 -story building. 2. There are adequate utilities to support the site. 3. The traffic and parking study done by WSB concludes that the existing roadways can support the proposed project, and there would be adequate parking provided. 4. The Comprehensive Plan allows density for senior housing to exceed 30 units per acre under the following circumstances: Proximity to hospitals, proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. Other desired items to allow greater density for senior housing would include: Below grade parking, provision of park or open space, affordable housing, sustainable design principles, and provision of public art. The proposed project is located close to the Fairview Southdale Hospital; the building is separated from low density residential housing by the existing 12 -story building; there is adequate utility capacity to serve the site; transit service is available on York Avenue; and a traffic study was done, and determined that the project could be supported by the existing roads. The parking for the new building would be enclosed and underground. Open space is provided between the two buildings, with sidewalk connections. The applicant is proposing 10% of the units to be for affordable housing. 5. The variance criteria are met. a. The practical difficulty is the location of the existing building located in the middle of the site. The applicant has located the building up close to the street to create an active environment with pedestrian connections. b. The building could be shifted back to meet the setback requirement. However, in doing so the green space proposed between the two buildings would be lost. c. Minimum and maximum unit dwelling units was intended to promote affordable housing. The applicant is also proposing 10% of the units for affordable housing, in addition to the 263 existing affordable units on the site. d. The larger two bedroom units over 850 square feet are reasonable to promote a variety of housing options within the development. e. The unique circumstance is the existing location of the building on the site, which does not have any underground parking. It has been the city's general policy with previous similar requests, to not build parking stalls when they are not needed. f. The proposal will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The proposed new structure would be designed to be integrated and complement the existing 12 -story building. The new 4 -story building being brought up close to York Avenue would be consistent with recent development on France and York, with buildings being brought close to the street to engage it and create a more pedestrian friendly environment. 6. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan: a. Building Placement and Design. Where appropriate, building facades should form a consistent street wall that helps to define the street and enhance the pedestrian environment. - b. Movement Patterns. Page 5 of 12 ■ Provide sidewalks along primary streets and connections to adjacent neighborhoods along secondary streets or walkways. ■ A Pedestrian - Friendly Environment. C.

Teague further recommended that the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat to create a new two lot subdivision at 7151 York Avenue for the proposed project subject to the following findings: Page 6 of 12 The proposed plat meets all Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance requirements. Approval is also subject to the following conditions: I.

A shared parking and access agreement must be established across the Plat. 4. The Park Dedication fee of $500, 00 shall be paid prior to release of the mylars approving the Final Plat. Appearing for the Applicant Della Koplin, Mesaba Capital Discussion Chair Staunton asked Planner Teague what the affordable unit count is for this project. Planner Teague responded that the affordable element is proposed at 10 units out of 100 units. Staunton further asked Teague if the subject site is conforming. Planner Teague responded the site as it exists today is non- conforming. Commissioner Carr noted the front yard setback variance request illustrated on the plans and inquired if the City has established a formula in the greater Southdale area to "achieve" a uniform front yard setback. Continuing, Carr stated in her opinion it appears there is a hodgepodge of front yard setbacks in the area, with some recently approved. Planner Teague responded that Commissioner Carr is correct; there isn't an established front yard setback formula for the greater Southdale area. Carr said she would like to see the City draft a uniform plan /policy /guide on front yard setback and the buildings relationship to the street. Carr pointed out the City is working toward creating a living streets policy, adding it would be important to establish standards for sidewalks, boulevards (trees in -off), landscaping, etc. Commissioner Scherer referred to the mechanicals for the building, adding attention to the noise emitted from the chiller needs to be considered. Scherer explained in the past the City had chillers relocated because they violated noise standards. She suggested that the applicant "test" the chiller noise to ensure it's properly located. Continuing, Scherer said she also agrees with the comments from Commissioner Carr and her suggestion that the City consider establishing consistent front yard setbacks and boulevard treatment for the Southdale area. Commissioner Olsen asked Planner Teague how the affordable housing element is enforced. Planner Teague responded the property owner must provide written confirmation. Page 7 of 12 Applicant Presentation Ms. Koplin addressed the Commission introducing members of the development team; Eliana Carter, rsp, David Die, Yorktown Continental. Ms. Carter delivered a power point presentation highlighting aspects of the project. She said it was very important that the new building provides community and a sense of dignity as people age. The intent of the new building is to become a "sister" building to the existing Yorktown Continental, which is currently undergoing major renovations. The "sister" buildings are of a different scale; however, they have focused on integrating the two buildings by using similar organizing elements with the exterior expression. Continuing, Carter said the connection between buildings through the common courtyard is very important for the project. She added a protected drop -off area is proposed for the new building and they are considering a heated walkway between structures. Carter further reported that all deliveries would be accommodated inside the building. Ms. Carter concluded that the first floor is proposed as an activity zone for both buildings and the 46 floor would contain the memory care units. Commissioner Forrest reiterated the need to "test" the noise emitting from the chiller before placing it in the designated area to ensure it doesn't violate limits. Forrest further stated she's bothered by the size of the building wall along York Avenue; adding it looms, suggesting that the applicant introduce podium height to soften the impact. Commissioner Platteter commented in his opinion the proposed building is set too close to York Avenue. Platteter further stated he would like the building fagade to appear more welcoming questioning if there is a door onto York Avenue. Continuing, Platteter said more articulation could also be added to the south fagade to break up the mass. Platteter said he would echo Commissioner Forrest's comment concerning chiller noise. Concluding, Platteter further questioned the right turn radius into the ramp, adding to him the radius appeared rather tight. Ms. Koplin told the Commission the siting of the building closer to York Avenue was at the request of the Commission. In response to the question about a front door Ms. Koplin indicated there isn't a front door because of safety concerns. Commissioner Forrest pointed out without a door on York Avenue a resident of the building would have a long walk to the bus stop. Public Hearing Chair Staunton opened the public hearing. The following residents spoke to the issues: Bernice Brown, 7151 York Avenue Daniel Spear, 7151 York Avenue Sara Amaden, 7151 York Avenue Page 8 of 12 Chair Staunton asked if anyone else would like to speak to the issue; being none, Commissioner Carr moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Platteter seconded the motion. Motion carried. Discussion In response to comments made regarding the entrance to the building Ms. Carter informed the Commission that the current redesign and remodeling of the existing building also includes relocating the current entrance to the other side of the building. Chair Staunton referred to the buildings as being "sister" buildings and asked if tenants in the existing building at 7151 York Avenue can easily move across to the new building. Ms. Koplin explained that movement can occur; however, there are two different property owners and requirements with much depending on the individual's financial status. Koplin reiterated all units in the new building are available to residents of the existing building; however, if they require an "affordable" unit there could be a wait because the new building has 10 affordable units. Koplin further noted that the majority of the units in the 7151 building are "affordable" units. Commissioner Forrest asked the applicant to reconsider internal traffic flow, adding she has some concerns including the turn radius previously mentioned by Commissioner Platteter. Ms. Koplin responded they would review the turn radius into the ramp as suggested. Chair Staunton noted that the applicant is also requesting a preliminary plat and asked Planner Teague how the City measures density on a site like this. Planner Teague responded that the site(s) is considered one tract; even if there would be two lots. The discussion ensued with Commissioners summarizing the - following: • The Commission acknowledged they suggested that the building be moved closer to York Avenue at Sketch Plan review however, were disappointed in the result for the following reasons: a) no door onto York Avenue; b)more detail and articulation is needed on the York Avenue elevation, consider using podium height as depicted in the Comprehensive Plan (the building appears to "loom" over York Avenue); c)more detail is needed on the porch facing York Avenue, d) add interest to the south sidewall , e) provide more landscaping. • Reconsider the interior circulation and turning movements of vehicles; • Revisit the ramp access, especially the turning radius; • With regard to deliveries consider establishing time frames for deliveries that don't coincide with resident movements; • Continue to work with the MTC on the bus stop; there needs to be connectivity from the new building to the public bus stop; • Keep the goals of the Comprehensive Plan in mind when considering redevelopment (podium height) • Reconsider the impact of the proposed building on the existing building. Page 9 of 12 • Take another look at the chiller and its proposed location to ensure the noise from the chiller doesn't violate noise standards and negatively impact the residents of 7151. A discussion ensued between Commissioners on the need to provide more consistent directions to applicants at Sketch Plan review. The Commission acknowledged they suggested moving the building closer to the street; however didn't achieve their goal. Commissioners indicated at this time they believe there hasn't been enough study on establishing a consistent front street setback in the greater Southdale area and what that setback should look like. It was further noted that bringing buildings closer to the street is only part of the equation. Continuing, Commissioners stated if the City desires a more urban landscape there should be guidelines that create an active street front that engages the street; not just a building moved closer to the street. Planner Teague responded the Commissions goal in suggesting that an applicant(s) locate buildings closer to the street was the result of their desire to eliminate viewing a "sea" of parking lots in front of buildings (which was the way the City was previously developed). Concluding, Teague said if the City were to establish a specific front yard setback number in the greater Southdale area the City could lose negotiating tools. Chair Staunton commented it appears that the City is experiencing an increase in requests for multifamily buildings in the greater Southdale area. Staunton said he is becoming a bit nervous about density adding this may be the time to initiate further study on this issue, adding he is speaking about long range discussions. Concluding, Staunton said he can support the request for increased density at this site; however, is concerned with the density increases happening throughout the area. Ms. Koplin stated she wants to resolve any issues and deliver a great product. Motion Commissioner Platteter moved to recommend site plan approval with variances based on staff findings, subject to staff conditions with the following recommendations: • Noise study be done for the rooftop mechanical equipment to ensure code compliance • Review turning radius to ramp • Reconsider a front entry facing York • Continue working with MTC on the bus stop • Increase landscaping • Add articulation to the south building wall • Develop a Proof of Parking Agreement • Submittal of a plan of how the sustainable goals will be met Commissioner Olsen seconded the motion. Page 10 of 12 r Commissioner Scherer stated she can't support the request as submitted because the building is too close to the street. Commissioner Carr also indicated she cannot support the request as presented. Ayes; Olsen, Platteter Staunton. Nays, Scherer, Lee, Carr. Motion failed 3 -3. Motion Commissioner Platteter moved to recommend..Preliminary Plat approval based on staff findings and subject to staff conditions. Commissioner Olsen seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. VII. REPORTS /RECOMMENDATIONS A. Appointment of the Planning Team for Wooddale/Valley View Planner Teague informed the Commission that he along with Commissioners Lee and Forrest interviewed residents to "join ".the Wooddale/Valley View Small Area Plan team. Teague explained their goal was to find a diverse group, adding he believes that goal was accomplished. Continuing, Forrest said they believe the members chosen are a good representation of the immediate area including business owners and residents of both the Concord and Pamela Park neighborhoods. Planner Teague report the following were appointed to the Wooddale/Valley View Small Area Plan team: Robert Burley, Connie Carrino, Brian Durst, Carrie Fordahl, Becky Melang, Rita Paris and Jim Schedin. Chair Staunton.said he hopes the group will engage those that weren't chosen to serve. Commissioner Forrest responded that everyone is welcome to participate in the discussions. Commissioner Forrest moved to appoint Robert Burley, Connie Carrino, Brian Durst, Carrie Fordahl, Becky Melang, Rita Paris and Jim Schedin to the Wooddale/ Valley View Small Area Plan work team. Commissioner Scherer seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. B. Conflict of Interest/Bylaws- .Planner Teague reported the Commission has been studying bylaws especially as it relates to conflict of interest and presented to the Commission text changes to the bylaws. A discussion ensued with Commissioners in agreement that there be a uniform policy. Continuing, Commissioners noted that the perception of a conflict is an issue and members should disclose their Page 11 of 12 relationship (if any) with an applicant. Commissioners suggested that the City attorney weigh in with his thoughts on the matter and continue this issue to the next meeting of the Commission. C. Ordinance Amendments /First Floor Elevation Planner Teague stated this is an issue the Com "mission has been struggling with in trying to clarify the intent of the first floor elevation requirement. Teague explained that currently there is'no definition for entry level adding this rule is particularly difficult with split level homes. A discussion ensued with Commissioners requesting more information from other Cities. It was further suggested that the City revisitthe requirement for Conditional Use and the I -foot rule noting this ordinance was drafted iii, response to a moratorium on variances. Planner Teague said he would look at how other cities handle this issue and bring more information back to the Commission for their review. VIII. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS Chair Staunton acknowledged back of packet materials. IX. CHAIR AND COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS Commissioners Carr and Platteter briefed the Commission on what's happening with the Living Streets work group. Commissioner Carr suggested that the Commission elect a Secretary at one of their upcoming meetings. X.

Action ❑ Discussion Information ❑ Action Requested: Review proposed Conflict of Interest Policy and assorted background information; and provide further direction to staff. Information / Background: At the August 4 City Council Meeting, Council Member Sprague asked for Council support to draft, review and possibly adopt a Conflict of Interest policy for city government. The Council supported Council Member Sprague's request. The Council asked if I could have a draft policy ready for consideration at the Council's August 19 meeting. Attached to this memorandum you will find a proposed draft Conflict of Interest policy for your consideration. The draft is based on the policy currently in force at the City of Brainerd. Council Member Sprague recommended this policy to me as a model. I have adapted it to fit our local nomenclature and governmental structure, but it is largely unchanged from the City of Brainerd's policy. I have attached the City of Brainerd's policy, as well as the conflict of interest advice we provide to our own board and commission members. I have also attached additional background information on this subject from the League of Minnesota Cities. Recommendation: The Council may amend and adopt the proposed policy at the August 19 Council meeting. The Council has not had much discussion on this matter. You may want to provide me additional feedback on the proposal and then schedule it for adoption in September or October.

Fin ai Interest. A financial interest is any interest, including loans, which shall yield, directly or indirectly, a m tart' or other material benefit to the elected or appointed official (other than monetary or mater a nefits authorized by the City). A financial interest of a local public official's employer (other than he City of Edina), his or her associated business, or his or her immediate family as more specifically defined below, and their employers of associated businesses shall also be considered a financial interest of the local official or volunteer. b. Exception. The following assets shall not be considered a financial interest for purposes of this policy: (1) ownership of shares in a diversified mutual fund; (2) membership in a pension plan or employee benefit plan; (3) de minimis ownership of bonds or publicly traded securities; (4) ownership of a whole life insurance policy. Immediate Family. Immediate family shall be defined as spouse, domestic partner, parents, children, siblings, father and /or mother in -law, son and /or daughter in -law, sister and /or brother in -law, step children, step siblings and half- brother and /or sister.

The attorne al has advlsl that the conflict of interest law applies to any Councilmember "who is authorized to art in any manner" in the making of the contract. Simply abstaining from voting on the contract will n How the contract to be made. The attorney general reasoned that if the Legislature had only ted to prohibit a contract with an interested officer who votes on the contract, it would not have used the word "authorized." A literal reading of the statute might suggest that it does not apply to City officers who are unable to make a contract on behalf of the City. However, the attorney general has given the statute a broad interpretation, which could mean the statute affects more officials than just those who actually make the decision to enter into the contract. As a result, it may be wise to take a conservative approach regarding contracts with any City official. 2 The law would appear to prohibit a contract with a public official who has had the opportunity to influence the terms of the contract or the decision of the governing body. ARTICLE VI Addressing Conflicts of Interest To address conflicts of interest: a.

Signature /Date 4 Printed Name CITY OF BRAINERD CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ARTICLE I Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish a code of ethics related to conflicts of interest covering public elected and appointed officials associated with the City of Brainerd. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable laws governing conflict of interest. The City Council hereby determines that Brainerd City government exists to serve the people of Brainerd, and in order to do so effectively, the residents of the City must have confidence and trust in the integrity of their government. The public evaluates its government by the way its elected and appointed officials conduct themselves in the posts to which they were elected or appointed. City officials hold positions of public trust under the scrutiny of public opinion and their actions must be above suspicion. The public deserves elected and appointed officials who maintain the highest ethical principles and avoid misconduct and conflicts of interest, apparent or real. The public has the right to expect that its public officials will conduct themselves in a manner that will preserve public confidence in and respect for the people they serve. • This Conflict of Interest Policy provides an ethical guide and specific principles which reflect the ethical values of the City of Brainerd. • This Conflict of Interest Policy is designed to promote high ethical standards and conduct, and to foster a healthy culture throughout City government. It is the benchmark for all who serve the City to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities to the people of Brainerd. ARTICLE II Definitions Appointed Officials. Appointed Officials are those individuals appointed to a Board, Commission or Committee of the City. Conflict of Interest. A conflict of interest is present when, in the discharge of official duties, an elected or appointed official participates in a governmental decision, action or transaction in which he or she has a financial interest, except for those interests when the financial interest is no greater than that of another member of his or her business classification, profession or occupation. a. Financial Interest. A financial interest is any interest, including loans, which shall yield, directly or indirectly, a monetary or other material benefit to the elected or appointed official (other than monetary or material benefits authorized by the City). A financial interest of a local public official's employer (other than the City of Brainerd), his or her associated business, or his or her immediate family as more specifically defined below, and their employers of associated businesses shall also be considered a financial interest of the local official or volunteer. b. Exception. The following assets shall not be considered a financial interest for purposes of this policy: (1) ownership of shares in a diversified mutual fund; (2) membership in a pension plan or employee benefit plan; (3) de minimis ownership of bonds or publicly traded securities; (4) ownership of a whole life insurance policy.

ARTICLE III Persons Covered The City Council of the City of Brainerd determines that it is in the best interests of the residents of the City to preserve the public confidence and integrity of government officials and to promote trust of the people in the objectivity of their public servants. Therefore, this Code of Ethics covers all officials elected and appointed to a position in the City of Brainerd. ARTICLE IV Expected Conduct Public elected or appointed officials must put the public interest ahead of their own personal advancement and financial interests, disclose conflicts of interest, and refrain from participating in decisions where a financial interest exists. Public officials must avoid actions that might impair independence of judgment or give the appearance of impropriety or a conflict of interest. Public officials must not use their position to gain privileges or special treatment. Public officials of the City shall avoid any situation that might give rise to or even suggest the potential for a conflict of interest. Public elected or appointed officials shall abstain from participation in discussions, deliberations and voting on a City contract in which the public elected or appointed official's or any member of that official's immediate family has a direct, indirect or pecuniary interest. When a non - contract matter comes before the City in which a public elected or appointed official or anyone in the official's immediate family has a direct, indirect or pecuniary interest, the official shall abstain from participation in discussions, deliberations and voting on that m after. ARTICLE V Conflict of Interest in Contracts (From the League of MN cities) Generally, public officers may not have a personal financial interest in a sale, lease or contract they are authorized to make in their official capacity. A "public officer' includes the Mayor and any Councilmember. In some circumstances, the designation may also include appointed officers and employees who are able to influence contracting decisions. The attorney general has advised that the conflict of interest law applies to any Councilmember "who is authorized to take part in any manner" in the making of the contract. Simply abstaining from voting on the contract will not allow the contract to be made. The attorney general reasoned that if the Legislature had only wanted to prohibit a contract with an interested officer who votes on the contract, it would not have used the word "authorized." A literal reading of the statute might suggest that it does not apply to City officers who are unable to make a contract on behalf of the City. However, the attorney general has given the statute a broad interpretation, which could mean the statute affects more officials than just those who actually make the decision to enter into the contract. As a result, it may be wise to take a conservative approach regarding contracts with any City official. The law would appear to prohibit a contract with a public official who has had the opportunity to influence the terms of the contract or the decision of the governing body. ARTICLE VI Addressing Conflicts of Interest To address conflicts of interest: a. An elected or appointed official shall not participate in making decisions or attempting Conflict of Interest Policy _2_ to use his or her position to influence any City government decision, action, or transaction in which the public official knows or has reason to know that he or she has a conflict of interest. To participate means making a decision, taking action, entering into a transaction, providing advice supporting a recommendation, introducing, sponsoring, debating, voting on, approving, and /or investigating the decision, action or transaction. Participation includes the direct and active supervision of the participation of a subordinate in the matter. Participation is more than official responsibility, knowledge, dutiful involvement, or involvement on an administrative or peripheral basis. b. A local public official may participate in a City government decision, action, or transaction involving an organization or entity if the public official or immediate family member is an officer, director, board member, or trustee but does not have a financial interest in the governmental decision, action or transaction. However, the public official must disclose his or her affiliation with the organization or entity as though it was a conflict of interest. C. A local public official may participate in a City governmental decision involving a related person, other than his or her immediate family, if the public official does not have a financial interest in the governmental decision, action, or transaction. However, the public official must disclose his or her relationship with the related personnel as though it were a conflict of interest. ARTICLE VII Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest If an elected or appointed official in the discharge of his or her official duties recognizes that his or her participation could create a conflict of interest, the public official shall disclose the conflict of interest as follows: a. The Mayor and members of the City Council shall disclose the conflict of interest to each other as soon as they become aware of the conflict. If such official becomes aware of a conflict during a meeting of the City Council, or any of its Committees, the official shall immediately disclose the conflict of interest orally. Because the Mayor or City Council members may not attend all City Council or Committee meetings, oral disclosure may consist of a written statement being read into the record by the Council President at the next regular meeting of the City Council. b. If the local official is a member of the City Council or the Mayor, the official shall not participate in any discussion or vote on any matter involving the conflict of interest. Although the Mayor or City Council member must abstain from voting on the matter, he or she shall be counted present for purposes of a quorum. C. An appointed official shall disclose a conflict of interest orally to the Committee Chairperson. The oral disclosure of a conflict of interest shall include describing the matter requiri ng action or decision and the nature of the appointed official's conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual has a personal interest in a decision that he or she has the power to make. A prohibited personal interest maybe contractual or non - contractual. It includes decisions in which personal involvement, gain, or financial benefit exist for the decision- maker., 2. CONTRACT SITUATIONS: A.) General Rule #1- Prohibition Against Personal Financial Interest. Except as authorized 'in Minn. Stat. § 471.88, a public officer whoa is authorized to take part in any manner, in making any sale, lease or contract in official capacity shall not voluntarily have a personal financial interest in that sale, lease, or contract or personally benefit financially therefrom. Every public officer who violates this provision is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. B.) Common Exceptions To General Rule #1 Allowed By Statute. 1.) Designation of bank depository. 2.) Only official newspaper in the city. 3.) . _Contract with a cooperative association of which the public officer is a shareholder or stockholder but not an officer or manager. 4.)

General Rule #4 — Mayor and Council Cannot Be Full-Time Employees of City. • In a statutory and in a charter city, neither the mayor nor any city council member may be employed by the city. "Employed ". refers to full -time permanent employment as defined by the city's employment policy. 3. NON - CONTRACT SITUATIONS: A.) General Rule. Any official who has a personal economic interest that may conflict with public interest in considering an official action generally is disqualified from participating in the action. B.) How to Determine Whether a Conflict Exists. 1.) The nature of the decision being made. 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) C.) Col • The nature of the financial interest. The number of interested officials. The need, if any, for the interested officials to make the decision. Other means available, if any, such as an opportunity for review of the decision. nmon Situations That Pose Conflict Questions. Zoning - platting - planning Public improvements • Special assessments • Licenses • Church memberships • Family associations • Club memberships •. Land purchases • Regulations • Vacation of streets • City comprehensive plan • Locating highways • Designations of development districts • Selection of location for municipal parking lots • Improvements to the business district where the councilmember owns a business D.) Need To Maintain an Open Mind. A councilmember may not engage in an advocacy role or have a "closed mind" when the councilmember has to perfonn a quasi-judicial function. In Continental Property Group, Inc. v. City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota Court of Appeals noted; `But when deciding CPG's procedural due - process claim, the district court found that Councilmember Goodman, who took part in making the council's decision: "took a position in opposition and exhibited a closed mind with regarding to [CPG's] proposed project prior to hearing [CPG's] appeal "; "adopted an advocacy role in opposition to [CPG's] proposed project well before she discharged her quasi-judicial duties "; and "was- clearly involved in an effort not only to assist to organize and mobilize neighborhood opposition to the project, but also to sway the opinions of her fellow council members." The court also noted that "the opinion of the council member in whose ward a project is proposed is given substantial weight" by other members of the council. The court's findings, which are supported by the record, establish that the city council relied on factors it was not intended or permitted to consider in denying CPG's applications. We therefore conclude that the city council's decision was arbitrary and capricious and that the district court erred by upholding it on review under MIn.rL Stat. § 462.361, subd l." The underlying district court decision also stated: "The timeline of events and communications further demonstrates that Goodman adopted an advocacy role in opposition to Plaintiff's proposed project well before she discharged her quasi-judicial duties. She was clearly involved in an effort not only to assist to organize and mobilize neighborhood opposition to the project, but also to sway the opinions of her fellow council members. Such actions were improper and impermissible for someone acting in a quasi-judicial capacity."

Links to a code of-conduct and statement of values; contains resolutions for contracting with an interested council member. LEVANT LINKS I. Ethical.responsibilities of local office in Minnesota Most Minriesotans can run for and hold elected office at the federal, state, or local level, Candidates are not required to pass a civics test, attend mandatory trainings, obtain a particular degree or certification, or otherwise demonstrate their fitness. Nevertheless, election or appointment to public . office may impact one's.personal and professional life- perhaps quite significantly. Some of the most important regulations impacting local governments address the ethical responsibilities of public office -laws that ,can apply to both elected and appointed city officials. Such safeguards exist to: • Ensure integrity in government. • Protect the city's and/or the city residents' interests. • Limit the.opportunity for °officials to benefit (personally or financially), from public,off ce. Unfortunately, such regulations are also some of the most misunderstood. City officials - particularly those "new to their positions —need to be aware of their responsibilities and the types of prohibited conduct. Various regulations: • Limit an official's ability to act independently. • Provide the public access to the decision- malting process. • Prohibit public officials from accepting -gifts. • Prohibit conflicts of interest. • Prohibit officials from holding incompatible offices. • Require public officials to disclose conflicts or economic interests when they do arise. This memo examines the ethical responsibilities of local-office in Minnesota. This material Is provided as general Information and is not a substitute for legal advice.

Not all situations fit neatly into current guidelines, so conduct may not clearly be prohibited, but still seems inappropriate. This appearance of impropriety can be very damaging to a councilmember's image (as well as the city's reputation) and may need to be considered. II. City government in Minnesota Minn. Const. art. x14 § 3. The Minnesota Constitution authorizes the Minnesota Legislature to provide for the "creation, organization, administration, consolidation, division, and dissolution of local government units and their functions, for the change of boundaries thereof, [and] for their elective and appointive officers." The form and function of city government, and the powers, duties and limitations of elected and appointed office, help shape our basic ethical responsibilities. A. Form and function Under Minnesota law, cities are public corporations. The Legislature has Minn. Stat. § 414.01, subd. 1a(2 ). described cities as the type of government that'most efficiently provides governmental services in areas intensively developed for residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental purposes." About 82 percent of the people in Minnesota live in cities, even though cities only cover about 4.9 percent of the state's land area. Since cities are where most people live, the basic goal of city government is to provide services. In many parts of the state, cities are the main governmental entities. Handbook, Chapter 3. Minnesota has two basic types of cities: statutory cities and home rule Handbook, Chapter 4. charter cities. The major difference between the two is the type of enabling legislation under which they are incorporated: Minn. Stet. ch. 412. • Statutory cities derive many of their powers from Chapter 412 of the Minnesota statutes. Minn. Stat. ray. 410. . Home rule charter cities obtain their powers from a home rule charter. Statutory and home rule charter cities differ in terms of organization and powers, not because of any classification of population, area, geographical location, or other physical features. B. City council The cornerstone of city government in Minnesota is the elected city council. The council fashions the policies that determine a community's present and future well- being. Because people look to their local government for leadership, much of the responsibility for community development falls on the shoulders of city councilmembers. Handbook, Chapter 6. The major areas of council authority and responsibility include: League of Minnesota Cities Information Mema 10/4/2012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 2 l RELEVANT LINKS: Minn.

Zinn. stet § 41z.221, subd. . Providing community leadership. Van Cleve v. Wallace, 216 The. city council is a continuing body. New members have no effect on the Minn. 500,13 N.W.2d 467 (1944). body except to change its membership. This means that all ordinances and resolutions remain in effect until the council alters or rescinds them, or until they expire through their own terms. At any time, the council can'change any, resolution, ordinance or administrative order whether or. not the individuals presently on the council are the same as those "serving when the . council originally took action; Councilmembers' statutory duties are to be performed,.almost without exception, by the, council as a whole. For example, it is the councilland not individual councilmembers that must supervise administrative officers, formulate policies, and exercise city powers. III. Gifts Minn. Stat. § 10A.071; subd. A "gift",is defined as money, property (real or personal), a service, a loan, lro). the forbearance or forgiveness of debt, or a promise of future employment, given aiid received without the giver receiving something of equal or greater value in return. A. General prohibition Minn. slur § 471.895. Elected and appointed "local officials" may not generally receive a gift from any "interested persons." 'I. Local officiais Minn. star. § 471.895, subd. A "local official" is any elected or appointed official of a city, or. of an I(d). ,. agency, authority, or instrumentality of a city. The gift prohibition clearly applies to the members of the city council. However, since the term "local official" is not further defined, it is not known if the law is meant to cover all city employees, or just certain high =level employees (such' as city managers or administrators) and other appointed officials. As so many individuals can be. involved in the decision - making process, trying to distinguish between city "employees" and `officials" is quite difficult. League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 10/412012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 3 RELEVANT LINKS: Minn. Stat § 471.895, subd. 1(c). Minn. Stat § 471.895, subd. 3. Minn Stale § 21 MO 1. subd. 5. As a consequence, the safest course of action is to assume the law applies to all employees, regardless of their title or job responsibilities. 2. Interested persons An "interested person" is a person or representative of a person or association that has a direct financial interest in a decision that a local official is authorized to make. An interested person likely includes anyone who may provide goods or services to a city such as engineers, attorneys, financial advisers, contractors, and salespersons. But, virtually every resident or person doing business in the city could have a direct financial interested in a decision that an official is authorized to make. These may include: • Property tax levies. • Special assessments. • Licenses and permits. • Land use decisions. If an individual could have a direct financial interest in a decision or recommendation that a city official would be authorized to make, he or she might be considered an interested person for purposes of the gift law. B. Exceptions The following types of gifts are permitted under exceptions to the gift law: • Lawful campaign contributions. • Services to assist an official in the performance of official duties. Such services can include (but are not limited to) providing advice, consultation, information, and communication in connection with legislation and services to constituents. • Services of insignificant monetary value. • A plaque or similar memento. Such items are permitted when given in recognition of individual services in a field of specialty or to a charitable cause. • A trinket or memento costing $5 or less. • Informational material of unexceptional value. • Food or beverage given at a reception, meal or meeting. This exception only applies if the recipient is making a speech or answering questions as part of a program that is located away fi-om the recipient's place of work. League of Minnesota Cues Information Mamo: 10/4/2012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 4 RELEVANT LINKS: League of Minnesota Cities information Memo: 10/412012 Official conflict of Interest Page 5 • Gifts between family members. However, the gift may not be given on behalf of someone who is not a member of the family. • Food or beverages given to national or multi -state conference attendees. The majority of dues paid to the organization must be paid from public funds and an equivalent gift must be offered to all other attendees. C. Gifts to cities MhuL Stat ¢ 465.03. The law prohibits gifts to city officials, not to cities themselves. Cities may Kell), v. Campaign Rimce and Public Disclosure Board, accept gifts of real or personal property and use them in accordance with the 679 N.w.2d 178 Wmn. Ct. terms prescribed by the donor. A resolution accepting the gift and the App. 2004). donor's terms must receive an affirmative vote of two- thirds of the members of the council. A city may not, however, accept gifts for religious or sectarian purposes. D. Metro area cities over 50,000 Minn. stat. ch. IOA. Metropolitan cities with a population over 50,000 are subject to additional See Section VII — Ethics in regulations. Under the Ethics in Government Act, local officials in these Government Act. cities are also prohibited from receiving gifts from "lobbyists," though there are similar exceptions that may apply. Minnesota Campaign Finance The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board issues and Public Disclosure Board: Lobbyist Gift Ban. advisory opinions regarding the lobbyist gift ban. These opinions may be relevant to any Minnesota city struggling with the application or implication of a gift ban to a particular situation. E. Municipal liquor stores Minn. FL 7515.0620. Municipal liquor store employees may not suggest, request, demand, or accept any gratuity, reward, or promise thereof from any representative of a manufacturer or wholesaler of alcoholic beverages. Any manager or employee who violates this provision is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. IV. Conflicts of interest There are two broad categories of conflicts of interest that city officials and municipal bodies may encounter: those involving contractual decisions, and those involving non - contractual decisions. League of Minnesota Cities information Memo: 10/412012 Official conflict of Interest Page 5 RELEVANT LINKS: League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 10/4/2012 Official Conflict of Interest Page e A. Contracts 1. General prohibition Minn. StaL § 471.87. Public officers are generally prohibited from having a personal financial interest in a sale, lease or contract they are authorized to make in their A.G. Op. 470 (June 9,1967). official capacity. The term "public officer" certainly includes mayors, councilmembers, or other elected officials. It may also include appointed officers and employees who are able to influence the decision - making process. A.G. Op. 90 -E -5 (Nov. 13, The attorney general has advised that the conflict of interest law applies to 1969). A.G. Op. 90e-6 (June 15, any councilmember "who is authorized to take part in any manner" in the 1988)• making of the contract. Simply abstaining from voting on the contract is not sufficient. The attorney general reasoned that if the Legislature had only wanted to prohibit interested officers from voting on the contract, it would not have used the word "authorized." A literal reading of the statute might suggest that it only applies to city A.G. Op. 90e-6 (June 15, officers who enter into contracts on behalf of the city. However, the attorney 1988)• general has given the statute a broader interpretation, which could affect more officials than just those who are directly involved in the decision - making process. As a result, it may be wise to take a conservative approach regarding contracts with any city official. a) Statutory cities Minn. scat. § 412.311. Statutory cities must consider an additional restriction. No member of a See Section 1V -A -2 - Exeeptiens and procedures. statutory city council may have a direct or indirect interest in any contract Singervald v, ddlmreapolfs the council makes (notwithstanding the limited exceptions discussed below).

For example, even though the actual contract is 1976). not made with a councilmember, the fact that he or she has an indirect interest in it could be an issue. b) Home rule charter cities Many home rule charters contain provisions that address conflicts of interest Handbook, chapter 4. in contracts as well. Some charters go beyond the statute to prevent all city Minn. StaL § 471.881. officers and employees from having an interest in a city contract, whether or not the individual has a role in the process. Because charter provisions vary from city to city, they are not covered in this memo in any detail. However, the exceptions discussed below apply to all cities, regardless of any other statute or city charter provision to the contrary.

Exceptions and procedures Minn, slat. § 471.88. There are several important exceptions that, apply to all cities. In these circumstances, a city may move forward with the matter if the interested Minn. Stat. § 471.88, subd.1. officer discloses his or her interest at the earliest stage: and abstains from voting or deliberating on any contract in which he or she has an interest. Generally, an exception may only be used by a city when approved by unanimous. vote of the. remaining councilmembers.. There are also additional requirements for some. of the exceptions that are discussed below. 1989 Street Improvement Progrmn v. Denmark A -1992 decision by the Minnesota Court of Appeals suggests that interested Township, 483 N.W.2d 508 officers should abstain from voting even when not expressly,required to do (Minn. Q. App. 1992). so under the law. In 'that -case, a township was challenged because an improvement project had not received the- required four - fifths majority vote of the town board (two members whose properties would be assessed abstained). The.court said the two interested board members were correct to abstain since their interests disqualified them from voting. As a result, the remaining three board members' unanimous vote was sufficient. 1 A city council may enter into the following contracts if the proper procedure is followed, even though the contract may impact the interests of one of its officers. a) Bank or savings association Minn. Slat § 471.86, subd. 2i The city council may designate a bank or savings association that a city officer has an interest in as an authorized depository for public funds and as Minn. stat. ch. 118A. a source of borrowing. No restriction applies to the designation of a depository or the deposit of public. funds if the funds are protected in accordance with state law: Procedure,: • The officer discloses his or her interest in the bank or savings association (this should occur when the bank or savings association is first designated or when the official is first elected or appointed, whichever is later). The disclosure is recorded inithe meeting minutes and serves as notice of such interest for each successive transaction. • The interested officer abstains from voting on the matter. • The council approves the designation by unanimous vote. b) Official newspaper Minn. stat § 471.88, subs. 3. Minn. Stat. § 331A.04. The city council may designate as the official newspaper (or publish official LMC Information Memo, matters in) a newspaper in which a city officer has an interest. However, this Newspaper Publication. exception only applies if the interested officer's newspaper is the only 'qualified newspaper available.

Cooperative association Minn. Stat. § 471.88, surd. 4. A city may enter into a contract with a cooperative association of which the city officer is a shareholder or stockholder. This exception does not apply if the interested city officer is also an officer or manager of the association.

Cities may contract with a volunteer fire department for the payment of compensation or retirement benefits to its members. There is some,question as to whether this exception applies to both A.G. Op. 358 - &4 (Jan. 19, municipal and independently operated fire departments. A literal reading of 1965). the statute suggests it applies only to actual contracts: Since cities do not A.G. Op. 90-5 (Apr. 17, 1978 ). usually contract with a municipal fire department, there is a possibility this exception may only apply to contracts with independent fire departments. However, the attorney general figs issued opinions that imply that the exception can apply to both kinds of fire departments. See A council member who is interested in serving the city in multiple positions, Compatibility y o Compatibility of offices. for example, plowing streets or serving on the volunteer fire department, should also consider whether the functions and responsibilities of those positions are compatible. Procedure: • The interested officer abstains from voting on the matter. • The council approves the contract by unanimous vote. f) Volunteer ambulance service Minn. sort § 471.88, subs.

However, in more recent opinions, the attorney general has taken the A.G. Op. (Dec. 9, 1976 ). position that each case turns on its individual facts. If a spouse who contracts with the city uses the earnings from the contract individually and not to support the family, .the contract probably would not be invalid simply because the spouse is a councilmember. However, if the facts tend to show otherwise, the legality of the contract may be in doubt. In short, the mere fact of the relationship does not affect the validity of the contract.

Nor may a councilmember recover value on the basis of an implied contract. If a councilmember has already received payment, restitution to the city can be compelled. For example, if the mayor is paid for services to the city under an illegal contract, a taxpayer could sue to recover the money for the city. It does not matter that the mayor was not present at the meeting at which the agreement for compensation was adopted. Frisch v. City of St. Charles, If a councilmember has made an unlawful sale of goods to the city and the 19 67 Minn 171, 208 N.W. 650 (1926). goods can be returned, a court will probably order it and prohibit an go p y p Y Mmes Y. rantdlm, 196 Minn. payment for the goods. This might be ordered when a lot has been purchased 87,264 N.W. 222 (1936. from a councilmember and no building has been erected on it, or if supplies, such as lumber, have been bought and not yet used. However, if the goods cannot be returned and if the contract was not beyond the powers of the city and there was no fraud or collusion in the transaction, the court will determine the reasonable value of the property and permit payment on the basis of the value received. In case of doubt, it is wise to assume a city cannot contract with one of its officers. If the contract is necessary, a legal opinion or court ruling should be secured before proceeding. B. Non - contractual situations Nmwda Commission or While the laws discussed previously relate only to contracts with interested Ethics v. Carrigan, 131 S. Ct. 2343 (2011). officials, courts throughout the country, including the Minnesota Supreme Court, have followed similar principles in non - contractual situations. Any city official who has personal financial interest in an official non- 63C Am. rur. 2a Public Officers g 246. contractual action is generally disqualified from participating in the action. This is especially true when the matter concerns the member's character, conduct, or right to hold office. Conflicts can also arise when the official's own personal interest is so distinct from the public interest that the member cannot fairly represent the public interest. In general, when an act of a council is quasi-judicial, no member who has a personal interest may take part. Some would argue that the member's participation makes the decision voidable, even if his or her vote was not necessary. The bias of one councilmember could make a city council's decision arbitrary. When there is a disqualifying personal interest, the action is not necessarily void, In contrast to the rules regarding conflict of interest in contract situations, the official action may be valid if the required number of non - interested council members approved the action. League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 10/4/2012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 16 RELEVANT LINKS: 1. Disqualifying interest — factors Lena v. Coon Creek The Minnesota Supreme Court has utilized several factors when determining Watershed Dist., 278 Minn. 1,153 N.w.2d 209 (1967). whether a disqualifying interests exists: • The nature of the decision. • The nature of the financial decision, • The number of interested officials. • The need for the interested officials to make the decision. Gonsalves v, City ofDalry when an administrative body has a duty to act on a matter and is the only Valley, 71 Cal. Rptr. 255 (Cal. CL App. 1968). entity capable of acting, the fact that members may have had a personal interest in the result may not disqualify them from performing their duties. • Other means available— opportunity for review. Len. v. Coon Creek A very relevant factor is whether other means are available to ensure city Watershed Dist., 278 Minn. 1, 153 N.w.2d 209 (1967). officials will not act arbitrarily or in furtherance of self-interests. In one TmvoslrtpBd. 4'LakeYalley case, the court took into account the fact that a decision by a board of Township it Lewis, 305 Minn, 488,234N.W.2d 815(1975). managers could be appealed to the state water resources board. In another case, the court said that the ability to appeal to the district court would adequately protect owners from any possible prejudice. 2. Common concerns a) Self Judgment On the theory that no person should be the judge of his or her own case, courts have generally held that an officer may not participate in proceedings where he or she is the subject. As a result, councilmembers are probably prohibited from judging themselves on an offense in which the majority of the council participated. Likewise, determination of a councilmember's residency may be one such issue from which an interested officer should abstain. b) Self- appointment Minn. scat. § 471.46. Generally, city officials may not appoint a councilmember to fill a vacancy Minn. Stat § 415.15. A.O.Op. 471M (Oct. 30, in a different elected position, even if he or she resigns from their existing 1986)• position before the new appointment is made. However, councilmembers may be appointed mayor or clerk, but may not vote on their appointment. For appointments to non - elective positions, the general rule is that an official See Section v - has a conflict in terns of self - interest This conflict disqualifies the official Compatibility of offices. from participating in the decision to appoint him- or herself. Appointing one council member to serve in two positions simultaneously is a question of compatibility of the two offices or positions. League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo; 10/4/2012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 17 RELEVANT LINKS: League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 101412012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 18 c) Council compensation Minn. Stet § 415.11. State law authorizes a council of any second, third or fourth class city in A.G. Op. 471 -K (May 10, Minnesota to set its own salary and the salary of the mayor by ordinance. 1976. However, increases in salary cannot begin until after the next regular city election. Since every councilmember has a personal interest in his or her compensation, the need for interested officials to make the decision is unavoidable in this situation. Minn. StaL § 412.191, subd. 1' A special situation is involved in setting the cleric's salary in a Standard Plan statutory city. In these cities, the clerk is elected and is thus a voting member of the council. While the other councHmembers may vote on the clerk's compensation without any disqualifying self - interests, it is probably best for the clerk not to vote on his or her own salary. d) Family connections AO. Op. (Apr. 14,197S) In an informal letter opinion, the attorney general has advised that a (informal letter opinion). councilmember was not disqualified from voting on a rezoning because his A.O. Op. (Dec. 9, 1976) father owned legal title to the tract in question. The attorney general has also (informal letteropinlon} advised that a prohibited interest does not necessarily arise when the spouse of a city employee is elected mayor. The opinion carefully avoids any statement about future action of the council on the existing employment relationship. Minn Stet § 363A.08, subd The Minnesota Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in employment 2. based upon marital status. Making inquiries into the marital status of employees or applicants for city positions is not recommended. e) Business connections )3usiness interests can also create conflicts —even if there is no personal A.O.Op. 430 (Apr. 28, 19671 financial interest under the general law. In one situation, the attorney general advised that a housing authority commissioner had a conflict when -- as a foreman -- he would aid a contractor in making a bid to the housing authority. A.O.Op. 90e (Aug. 25, In a different opinion, the attorney general found that a mayor or 19971 councilmember would not be disqualified from office because he was an employee of a nonprofit corporation that provided public access cable service to the city, but must abstain from participating in any related actions. f) - Land use Since a city council must deal with land matters within its jurisdiction, it is . almost inevitable that such decisions will affect property owned or used by one of its members. League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 101412012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 18 League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 10/4/2012 Official Conflict of interest Page 19 (1) Property ownership Whether or.not property,ownership disqualifies a councilmember from participating in a land'use decision will depend (to some extent) on the nature of the decision and the numbers .of persons` or properties affected. Atone extreme is adoption of a new zoning _ordinance (or a comprehensive revision; of an existing ordinance) that may,impact all property in the city. In this situation, the councilmember's interest is. not personal and he or she should be able to participate. If this was not allowed, such ordinances might never be adopted. At the other extreme is the application for a zoning variance or special use permit that only applies to a councilmember's property. Such.a specific, personal interest will-likely disqualify the member from participating in the proceedings. However, the councilmember should still be able to submit the required application to the city. Between these two extremes are thoseproceedings affecting some lots or parcels, one of which a councilmember owns. In such situations, it is a question of fact whether the councilmember should not vote. In such circumstances, the council must decide whether the member should be disqualified —a decision which is subject'to review. in the courts if challenged. In many situations where the right to vote is questioned, an interested councilmember will refrain from participating in order to avoid the "appearance" of impropriety. (2) Bias Continental Property Giwup, personal bias can also be a concern. In one case, a,biased councilor_ ember Inc. v. Cltyofkftieapolls, No. A10 -1072 "nn.

As a App. May 3, 2011) result, the court determined that the property buyer's due process rights were (unpublished gpinion� violated and returned the matter for a new hearing— one where the biased councilmember would not participate. (3) Local.improvements and special assessments LMC Information Memo, A councilmembeK owning land to be benefited by a local improvement is Special Assessment Guide. probably not prohibited from petitioning for the improvement, voting to undertake it, or voting to adopt the resulting special assessment. Although one Minnesota decision found an interested county board member's participation on a county'ditch proceeding inappropriate, a- subsequent case found otherwise. These two cases can also be distinguished on their facts.

The court vacated the county board's order establishing the proposed ditch since the preliminary proceedings may have had a substantial effect on later actions taken at the final hearing. The court said the board member should not have participated in any of the proceedings regarding the project. Lens v. Cover Creek The court in the second case found there was no disqualifying conflict of Watershed Dist.. 278 Minn. 1,153 N.w.2d 209 (1967 ). interest when four of the five managers of a watershed district owned land that would be benefited by a proposed watershed district improvement project. The court recognized the situation was similar to those where members of a city council assess lands owned by them for local improvements. As a result, the court found this potential conflict of interest did not disqualify the district board members from participating in the improvement proceedings. It is possible a councilmember's property ownership might result in a more favorable treatment of that property in an assessment project. If that happened, the assessment might be challenged for arbitrariness and set aside— whether or not the councihmember participated in the proceedings. (4) Zoning A.G. Op. 59a -32 (Sept, 11, The attorney general has advised that a council is not prevented from 1978). rezoning property owned by a councilmember (or property owned by his or her client). However, the councilmember may not participate in those proceedings. A.G. Op, 471- f(Sept. 13, In an earlier opinion, the attorney general said it was a question of fact 1963. whether a town board member had a disqualifying interest for having sold land that was the subject of rezoning. However, the attorney general appealed to asstune that if the board member had a sufficient interest in the land, the member would be disqualified from voting on the rezoning. (5) Condemnation LMC information Memo, While a councilmember's ownership interest in land subject to Dangerous Properties. condemnation seems to preclude participation in any council actions Webster v.

However, when the property is within a larger urban renewal program, but not in the project area subject to the decision, it is arguable the councilmember would not be disqualified from voting.

The attorney general said that a councilmember who was a part-time employee of a licensee could not vote on reducing the liquor license fee if it could be shown that the councilmember was personally interested. For example, if the fee reduction would affect the councilmember's compensation or continued employment, he or she would obviously have a personal financial interest in the decision. However, whether an individual's personal interest is sufficient to disqualify him or her from voting on the decision is a question involving specific facts that must be determined on a case -by -case basis. E. T. o., Inc. v. Town of In a similar case, the Minnesota Supreme Court held that a town board Marlon, 375 N.W.2d 815 (Minn. 1985). member who owned property across from a bar was disqualified from voting on the license renewal. The town board member stated his property had been devalued by $100,000 since the bar opened, and he'was elected to the board based largely on his opposition to the bar. The court stated, "A more direct, admitted, financial interest is hard to imagine." Minn. R. 7515.0430, subp. 5. A state rule prohibits a councilmember from voting on a liquor license for a spouse or relative. The rule does not define who is included as a "relative," so cities may need to consult with their city attorney for guidance in specific situations. 3.

Recommendation City officials concerned about conflicts of interest in contractual or non - contractual situations should: • Consult the city attorney. • Disclose the interest as early as possible (orally and in writing). • Not attempt to influence others. • Not participate in any discussions (when possible, leave the room when the governing body is discussing the matter). • Follow the statutory procedures provided for the contracting exceptions. • Abstain from voting or taking any other official actions unless the city attorney determines that there is no prohibited conflict of interest. V. Compatibility of offices Slate ea rel. Hilton v. Avoid, Whether a city official can also serve the city or other government entity in 157 Minn. 263,196 N.W. 467 (1923). some other capacity is quite complicated. State laws generally do not Kenney v. Goergen, 36 Minn. prevent a person from holding two or more governmental positions. 190,31 N.W. 210 (1866} However, without specific statutory authority, government officials cannot hold more than one position if the functions are incompatible or if the jobs create a conflict between two different public interests. Mcculcheon V. CJty of SL The common law doctrine of incompatibility applies to the functions of two Paul, 298 Minn. 443,216 N.w.2d 137 (1974). inconsistent offices. However, there is no clear definition of what constitutes "Compatibility of Offices;' an "office" for the purpose of this law. Certainly it would include all elected House Research, July 2012. offices. But, it can also include appointed offices such as city administrators, managers, and police chiefs. Generally, an office has greater responsibility, importance, and independence than mere city employment. A. Public employment 1. Federal employees - 5 U.S.C. §§ 7321 -7326. Federal employees are generally prohibited from being candidates in local Political Activity of the Federal Employee. partisan elections. An election is considered "partisan" if candidates are elected as representing political parties. 2. State employees Minn. star. § 43A.32. State employees generally can run for and hold local elected office as long Minnesota Management & Budget, as there is no conflict with their regular state employment.

Hilton v. %Po? -d, 157 Minn 263,196 N.W. 467 (19231 3: City employment Neither the mayor nor any city councilmember may also be a "full -time, permanent" city employee. Full -time, permanent employment is defined by the city's employment policy. This prohibition applies to councilmembers elected or appointed on or after Aug. 1, 2010. For "part- time" positions, it must be determined if the elements or responsibilities of the two positions are incompatible with one another. If the two positions are incompatible, an individual may not serve in both positions at the same time. B. Incompatible offices — elements Offices are generally incompatible when a specific statute or charter provision: • States that one person may not hold two or more specific positions. • Requires that the officer may not take another position. • Requires that the office devote to the position full -time. In addition, positions may be determined to be incompatible with one another. This typically occurs when the holder of one position (or the group or board of which the person is a member): • Hires. or appoints the other. • Sets the salary for the other. • Performs functions that are inconsistent with the other, for example, a person cannot supervise or evaluate himself or herself. • Approves the official or fidelity bond of the other. C. Specific offices It is important to remember that incompatibility often depends on the nature of the offices and their relationship to one another. So, while offices may have been determined to be incompatible in the past, a different conclusion could be reached based on current relationships or responsibilities. A city official who is considering seeking an additional office should obtain a legal opinion from the city attorney on the compatibility of the two offices. 1.

Fire departments City officials are often interested in whether a member of the city fire department perhaps the chief or another officer --can also serve on the city council. It is, unfortunately, not an easy question to answer. League of Minnesota Was Information Memo: 1014/2012 Official Conflict of Interest Page 25 RELEVANT LINKS: AG. Op. 358 -e-4 (Jam 19, In 1965, the attorney general advised that a councilmember could also be a Minn. scat. g 471.89, subs. 6. member of a volunteer city fire department under the exception to the AG. Op. 358 -e-9 (Apr. 5, conflict of interest law that permits contracts with a volunteer fire 1971). department for payment of compensation or retirement benefits. But in a later opinion, the attorney general advised that the fire chief of a municipal fire department automatically vacated the office of fire chief when he accepted a seat on the city council. This opinion did not mention the exception listed in the conflict of interest law or the 1965 opinion, AG. Op. 90•E (Apr. 17, 1978). In 1978, the attorney general considered the issue again and advised that the exception to the conflict of interest law allows a councilmember to be a member of an independent volunteer fire department when a contract for compensation or retirement benefits is negotiated, as long as the procedural requirements for the exception are followed. The attorney general also explained that the reason for the different results in the two earlier opinions was because the 1965 opinion involved a fire department member who was not an officer and the 1971 opinion involved a fire department member who was the fire chief. Minn. slat g 412.152 In 1997, the Minnesota Legislature attempted to clarify the issue by allowing Miru,. slat ¢ 410.33. one person to hold the position of statutory city mayor and fire chief of an independent, nonprofit firefighting corporation that serves the city. Although the statute Is specifically for statutory cities, home rule charter cities may be able to use it if their charters are silent on the matter. Basically, the mayor and fire chief positions are not incompatible as long as: • The mayor does not appoint the fire chief. • The mayor does not set the salary or the benefits of the fire chief. • Neither office performs functions that are inconsistent with the other. • Neither office contracts with the other (in their official capacity). • The mayor does not approve the fidelity bond of the fire chief. The statute remains unclear on several points, however. It does not address council positions other than the mayor. It also appears to be limited to independent, nonprofit fire departments, so city departments (whether volunteer or salaried) are not addressed. And although it outlines general criteria under which there will not be incompatibilities, there is still some vagueness regarding what functions would be considered inconsistent. Because each city has a different relationship with its fire department, a city may want to get a legal opinion from its attorney or from the attorney general before allowing a councilmember to serve as a volunteer firefighter with any sort of supervisory powers.

Consequence -- ,automatic resignation An individual generally can run for election to a position that is incompatible with the position the person already holds without resigning from the first position. However, when an official qualifies for a second and incompatible position (by taking an oath and filing a bond, if necessary), he or she automatically resigns from the first position, which then becomes vacant. Whether two offices are incompatible will depend upon the responsibilities of each of the offices and their relationship. Cities with questions, may wish to secure a legal opinion from the city attorney or the attorney general. VI. Codes of conduct Ethical expectations ran be difficult to;convey. In addition, the conflict of interest (or "ethics ") laws are scattered throughout many statutes and court cases, making them difficult to find and hard to interpret. As a result, some cities have developed-and adopted their own policies on ethics and conflicts of interest. These policies must be consistent with state law and generally take two forms: a values statement expressing core principles for ethical conduct, or a formal code of conduct: Cities may adopt a values statement or a code of conduct or both. However, it is important to note that state law does not require formal adoption of a city ethics policy. A. LMC Ethics Advisory Panel The work of the LMC Ethics Advisory Panel resulted in two documents — the Model Statement of Values and the Template Code of Conduct. 1. Model Statement of Values The Model Statement of Values is an, aspirational document, intended to provide,a framework for ethical decision - making. The values it promotes can only be self - enforced, primarily by providing an ethical anchor, raising the quality of discussion and expectations among city officials and those in the community; and by appealing to -the conscience of the individual. It would be difficult and likely`counterproductive to suggest that such values could be subject to formal review'or enforcementaction. Cities may choose to use the Model Statement of Values in a variety of ways, including: League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 1014120,12 Offlclal Conflict of Interest Page 27 RELEVANT LINKS: • Providing a copy to all elected officials, advisory commission members, and even city staff members for their reference. • Using it as the basis for a local workshop or just a discussion to encourage more city and community dialogue about what ethics means in your city. • Formally adopting it as a statement of the way in which city officials and the community would like to see public business conducted. 2. Template Code of Conduct See LMC's Ethics Advisory The Template Code of Conduct is a law -based document, incorporating very Panel Template Code of Conduct. specific standards of.behavior that are already written into state statute or that have been handed down by court rulings. The Code of Conduct also offers legal methods for dealing with infractions. By adopting this code at the municipal level, a city council can take self- initiated action to see that these standards are upheld in the community, rather than having to wait on civil litigation initiated by citizens or criminal prosecution by the county attorney. The Template Code of Conduct should be considered for formal adoption as a city ordinance. The template can locally codify existing and relatively well articulated standards of conduct already required by state law, so enforcement through quasi-judicial review is feasible. When adopting the code, cities need to consider to whom the code applies. Cities also need to formulate a hearing procedure. This document has been carefully reviewed by LMC legal counsel, and it is recommended that any modifications be considered only after careful review by the city attorney. Cities that choose not to formally adopt the template may still find the document to be a useful and concise reference piece for individual city officials. B. Professional rules of conduct Many professionals have adopted rules of conduct to guide individuals iCVIA, Code of Ethics. working within those fields. For example, the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) as well as our state's affiliate (MCMA) has adopted a code of ethics that defines a manager's core set of values. These values help define and guide a city manager's ethical obligations to council, other stag the general public, and the profession itself.

Ethics in Government Act (campaign financing) Minn. slat ch. IOA. In Minnesota, campaign financing is governed by Minn, Stat. ch. 10A, also known as the Ethics in Government Act (Act). The following is a brief overview of some of the major responsibilities of the Act (as well as some related statutes) and how they impact some city officials. Minn. scat. §IOA.02. The Act is administered by the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board (Board). The Board has four primary responsibilities: • Campaign finance registration and disclosure. • Public subsidy administration. • Lobbyist registration and disclosure. • Economic interest disclosure by public officials. Minn. Slat. §10A.02, subd. 12. Individuals subject to the Act may request an advisory opinion from the Campaign Finance Board to guide their compliance with the law. Requests for art opinion (as and Public Disclosure Board. well as the opinions themselves) are classified as "nonpublic" data, but a "public" version of the opinion is published on the Board's website. A. Application Minn. slat. §IOA.01. All candidates for and holders of state constitutional or legislative offices, as well as other "lobbyists," "principals" and "public officials" are subject to the Act. In addition, while not applicable to all city officials, the Act does apply to "local officials" serving "Metropolitan government units." 1. Local officials Minn. Slat. §10A01, subd. A "local official" is a person who falls into one or both of these categories: 22. • Holds elected office. • Is appointed to a public position in which the person has authority to make, to recommend, or to vote on as a member of the governing body, major decisions regarding the expenditure or investment of public money. 2.

Quote or Bid: Egan Companies $402,732.75 General Information: Please recall we are currently completing the France Ave Pedestrian Enhancements Project. Stage 1 and 2 are. nearly completed. This project includes upgrading the intersections of 66th St, 70th St, and 76`h St and France Ave along with providing sidewalk facilities along the easterly side of France Ave where they do. not exist today. WSB and LHB prepared landscaping and lighting plans for the urban design portion of this project. The lighting portion of the project will focus on the intersections of 66th St, 701h St, and 76th St and France Ave. The urban design that includes the landscaping and featuring the lighting improvements was developed to create an identity to this corridor. We tried to create a streetscape to draw non - motorists to the area, particularly at the enhanced intersections and to begin to create.,the interface between the public and private realm. We hope by applying the groundwork, that the private realm will follow suit to create areas of activity centered around pedestrians. The engineers-estimate for this project was $350,000.00. It is anticipated the all the lighting improvements. will be installed in 2014.The luminaires are LED. The bids for both the landscaping and lighting components of the urban design have been opened. Council awarded the landscaping contract to Hoffman & McNamara Co. at the August 4 City Council Meeting in the amount of $570,979.00. The combined value to the two contracts is $570,979.00 + $402,732.75' _ $973,711.75. We were anticipating the cost for both the landscaping and lighting to be between $700,000 and $900,000. We will manage both.contracts such that the total of both is at or under $900;000. These project costs.are funded with Centennial Lakes Tax- Increment Financing'District funds.

A. Pentagon Park Update Scott Tankenoff No packet data oral presentation [—] Information coming Date: 8 -19 -14 To: Members of City Council, Mayor Hovland and Director of Parks and Recreation From: Pamela Park Resident, Sue Aura, 5900 Oaklawn Ave, Edina Re: Artificial Turf in Pamela Park Covering our community and school fields with plastic grass and rubber soil is a disturbing and concerning trend. It has become a status symbol for many communities, where they are all too willing to raid already -tight education budgets and sacrifice good education for an artificial field. While the science is far from settled, there is enough information to demonstrate that artificial turf may pose significant environment, health, safety, and quality of life threats to our communities. So far, the studies have found that artificial turf is: i. Leaching toxins into our environment. Studies have concluded that artificial turf has the potential to pollute our environment with dangerous toxins like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, chromium, and lead. As a result, runoff from an artificial turf field that drains to a local creek can pose a risk of toxic effects. And kids playing on these fields are exposed to leaching and off - gassing chemicals known to have carcinogenic, repro - toxic, mutagenic, and endocrine - disrupting effects. 2. Increasing sports injury severity. Researchers are studying the effects of artificial turf on increasing sports injuries, including increased frequency and severity of head injuries, and increased potential for infection and skin burns. Additionally, artificial turf may cause allergic reactions in individuals with sensitivity to latex and rubbers. 3. Creating heat islands. Artificial turf gets much hotter than grass. Studies have found temperatures on artificial turf exceeding temperatures on nearby natural grass in the range of 390 to 95 017- -even up to 140 017-- hotter. The result is play on artificial turf fields, where kids and adults are expected to play their best, at temperatures 1170 to 157 0F - -and even hotter. The City of Edina needs to recognize that until the full impacts of artificial turf are studied, understood, and known, they need to make the protective decision, the risk- averse decision, to keep natural grass in place. Christian Clapp 5844 Oaklawn Ave Edina, MN 55424 Edina City Council Mayor Hovland Director of Parks Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) Re: Proposed Changes to Pamela Park Dear Mayor, City Council, Director of Parks and MCWD: It was recently brought to my attention that extensive changes are proposed to be made to Pamela Park. I only learned of such changes after receiving a small postcard notice containing ambiguous legalese which stated that MCWD was examining over 1 acre of impermeable surface to be added to Pamela Park. Thank goodness for this notice, albeit inadequate. After researching and reaching out to numerous people, as I could not discern what changes the MCWD was examining, I learned what proposed changes have been approved. I have grave concerns regarding whether adequate due process notice was provided to residents, particularly those residents living within 1000 feet of Pamela Park. In 2009, it is my understanding that the City approved certain changes to Pamela and a one -page letter was sent out by Parks and Recreation to allow the residents of Pamela Park to provide input as to the Park changes. It is my understanding that for various reasons these changes proposed over 5 years ago were placed on hold due to funding and the economy. 5 years and at least one administration later, the City has decided that the 2009 changes to Pamela Park should be implemented. However, the changes proposed in 2014 vary substantially from the original plan. Despite this fact, no notice was provided to residents or parents effected by these changes. Going back to the 2009 plans and notes, one significant change that was both opposed and taken out from the master plan was the use of artificial turf. In 2009, residents raised concerns over the environmental soundness and safety of the artificial turf. The then director of Parks and Rec ultimately removed that change from the Park's master plan. In stark contrast is how this issue was handled in 2014- Rather than allow for public discussion or provide notice regarding an issue that concerns residents, Parks and Rec and the City unilaterally pushed through nearly $400,000 in artificial turf not even allowing the public to comment or raise concerns. .1 It seems that when the nature and ambience of a neighborhood is about to be changed, and access to public space is going to be greatly altered and potentially polluted, that a letter informing citizens should be provided. My next concern relates to the due diligence conducted by City Council and Parks and Rec with respect to these proposed changes. Thus far, I have yet to see any current studies to support all the changes being made to Pamela Park. I have repeatedly asked the city for studies and the results of such studies it has conducted regarding the following. Unanswered questions that still remain after emailing, calling and meeting are whether any: 1) Environmental impact/assessment studies were conducted to determine what impact the proposed changes will have. 2) Safety studies were conducted to determine whether the materials used will create any health issues, including to groundwater and children 3) Studies or assessments conducted with respect to parking and traffic to determine the need for additional parking 4) Studies or analyses conducted to assess the long -term financial commitment of maintaining artificial turf and the proposed impact the long -term maintenance will have on taxpayers Pamela Park is a protected wetland. I question whether any studies been conducted by the City to determine the impact crushed rubber run -off from artificial fields will have on the wetland? The manufacturer that the City has contracted with to provide the artificial turf has been embroiled in lawsuits, including lawsuits due to high levels of lead in their product. What has the city done to ensure our children and our land will not be poisoned with lead from the artificial turf? In fact, it is recommended by the CDC that children wash off within 20 minutes of playing on artificial turf due to potential lead levels present in artificial turf. In addition to lead, other toxins are present in artificial turf like mercury, cadmium, hydrocarbons, endocrine - disrupters and known carcinogens. Has the City looked into this and considered warning parents of small children of these dangers? Finally artificial turf can reach temperatures of 140 degrees. How will this heat effect the Park and the nature around the Park? More importantly are we risking the health of our children by exposing them to higher temperatures when playing sports? Does the city know that other cities, like New York and Los Angeles, are banning the use of artificial turf? W I believe these are basic questions and considerations that should be considered by any City that performs due diligence when spending millions and proposing changes that threaten to alter the nature of an existing environment and potentially poison our children. In closing, I request that the city re -open this issue to allow for public comment on the substantial changes made to the Pamela Park Plan in 2014. 3
