Mayor Hovland declared April as Positive Parenting Month in Edina and called upon all

promote violence-free families to strengthen the communities in which we live.
Member Housh introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-39
DECLARING APRIL
AS POSITIVE PARENTING MONTH
WHEREAS, all children need love, guidance and deserve to grow up in an environment
free from violence and physical harm. Positive, non-violent, peaceful forms of discipline teach
children to think beyond the immediate and give them a blueprint for future reference;and
WHEREAS, children are influenced by the model for behavior set by adults in their
environment. When adults resort to violence, children are likely to learn this behavior is
acceptable and imitate it with their peers;and
WHEREAS, positive, non-violent parenting promotes positive, peaceful relationships
and respect for others and their rights to safety;and
WHEREAS, childhood is a unique and critical stage of life. All children share the same
basic needs for safety, health, love and dignity. Peaceful, communicative parenting supports a
child's development;and
WHEREAS, current research shows that exposure to violence negatively impacts upon
normal brain development and learning for all children; and
WHEREAS, violent behavior learned in the home and school environment is reflected
in the behaviors of people throughout our communities, cities and societies at large. As a
result of this violence, children and families are hurting, education systems and learning has
been hindered,and prisons are overflowing with youth.

Mr. Larsen said the proponent had proposed construction of an addition to the rear of his
residence located at 4100 France Avenue South. Mr. Larsen said the living space would be
elevated above the flood plain and the supporting structure built according to required
standards. He said the Watershed District had issued a permit to allow the addition and the City

Mr. Larsen reported that the Planning Commission recommended granting the Conditional Use
Permit conditioned upon the proponent executing a Hold Harmless Agreement releasing the City
from future liability.

that the most current maps were in use.
Mayor Hovland asked if the construction must be pre-approved by FEMA. Mr. Larsen replied

ORDINANCE NO. 2006-3 - FIRST READING GRANTED AMENDING SECTION 300 - OFF
LEASH DOG PARK Director Keprios explained Subsection. 300.17 of the City Code must be
amended to allow the upcoming dog park under development at Van Valkenburg Park. The
amendment would give the Park Director the authority to allow portions of a park to be
designated as an off-leash dog park area where dog owners will not be required to have their pet
on a leash. The amendment would allow the Park Director to designate other portions of specific
parks as off-leash dog park areas without having to amend the Code each time a new area was
permitted to serve as an off-leash dog park.
Member Swenson inquired whether hockey rinks could be used for an off-leash park during the
summer months. Mr. Keprios said that has been considered.
Mayor Hovland asked if it was standard practice to issue a ticket with no warning for a dog
being off-leash in a park. Chief Siitari responded that not many tickets were written however it
depended on the dog's behavior.
Staff suggested that Subsection 300.17 of the City Code be amended, authorizing the Park
Director to permit off-leash dogs in portions of specific parks with a waiver of second reading.
Member Masica made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2006-3 with waiver of second reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 2006-3
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SUBSECTION 300.17
OF THE CITY CODE- OFF LEASH DOG PARK
The City Council of the City of Edina ordains:

owner unless it is restrained with a leash measuring ten feet or less in length; provided that
this requirement shall not apply in any portion of a park as defined in Section 1200.01 of this

ORDINANCE NO. 2006-4 ADOPTED AMENDING SUBSECTIONS 1100.03 AND 1100.06 OF
THE CITY CODE AND ADDING NEW SUBSECTION 1100.07 TO CODE FOR WATER AND
SANITARY SEWER SERVICE LINES Mr. Houle explained staff recently realized the ownership
of sanitary sewer and water services was not distinctly defined in the City Code. Past practice has
defined the property owners as being responsible for the sanitary sewer service from the sanitary
sewer main to the property owners building and the water service from the curb stop to the
meter (building). He said as the City's infrastructure continues to mature it was important to
define the ownership of these services. Mr. Houle said staff recommended approval of the
proposed Ordinance with waiver of second reading.
Member Masica questioned a portion of the "customer concerns" provided in the packet
referring to service line repairs and whose responsibility it was to pay for these repairs. Mr.
Houle responded that the charges could be assessed to the property owner.
Member Swenson inquired whether the City has set a fee for turning off the water in the street for
a residence. Me. Houle said currently there was no charge for the turn off. Member Swenson
asked if problems on Casco and Drexel would be rectified by the summer. Mr. Houle responded
that the process was beginning.
Member Housh made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2006-4, Amending Subsections 1100.03
and 1100.06 of the City Code and adding a new Subsection 1100.07 to the Code for Water and
Sewer Service Lines with waiver of second reading:

causes substantial water loss, any water service may be temporarily discontinued until

make the necessary repairs within five days after notification by the City. If the repairs

1100.07 as follows:

stop and the sanitary sewer service line from the sanitary service main is owned by and shall
be maintained by the owner of the property serviced by such ervice line."

applicable fees have been paid and filed in accordance with City Code and Minnesota State

yes, since the first of April
Mayor Hovland inquired how many liquor licenses have been issued in Edina. Mr. Hughes
responded there were 15 licenses issued. He explained that since Edina only issued on-sale
intoxicating liquor licenses to restaurants, there was not a limit on the number allowed to be
issued due to a change in Minnesota Statutes a couple of years ago.

Sale Liquor License renewal for Louis XIII restaurant, located at 2760 Southdale Center.

COURTNEY FIELD SHELTER BUILDING RENOVATIONS PRESENTED Director Keprios
said at the January 17, 2006, Council meeting, the 2006 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was
approved. It included approximately $450,000 for an upgrade of the Courtney Fields shelter
building and approximately $312,000 for renovation of field #4. Anderson/Johnson Associates
were hired and teamed with Armstrong, Torseth, Skold and Rydeen, Inc. Architects and
Engineers to conduct a feasibility study for the renovation of the Courtney Fields shelter

Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2006
building. Anderson/Johnson and Associates were the architects and designers of the Van
Valkenburg Park softball complex. The design committee included staff and three volunteers
from the Edina Baseball Association.
Mr. Keprios introduced Jay Pomeroy, a landscape architect with Anderson/Johnson Architects.
Mr. Pomeroy introduced Tammy Magney, ATSR, Inc. Architects, who showed pictures of the
subject building, stressing the soundness of the exterior walls of the existing structure. She said of
more concern were, 1) the roof structure, 2) the wood addition, 3) bathrooms were not handicap
accessible,4) the concession stand was too small and the plumbing was poor, 5) the doors needed
paint, 6) aluminum windows were inoperable, 7) the mechanical system needed to be updated, 8)
there was a lack of storage space, and 9) a larger lobby would be desirable. Ms. Magney said the
renovations would include:
1. Removal of existing roof structure
2. Maintain existing exterior walls, plumbing walls, electrical panel walls, footings and
foundations.
3. Remove existing interior partition to provide for ADA accessible toilets, electrical room,
and storage needs.
4. Remove concession equipment (could be reused); relocate concession into an addition on
the exterior of facility.
5. Provide shelter space in interior of facility accessible for inclement weather.
6. Meeting space can occur in the shelter space in the interior of the lobby.
7. Relocate restroom access to exterior for use during hours shelter was closed.
8. Provide new roof structure with second floor storage to meet needs of baseball and
football associations,varsity baseball and officials.
9. Announcing and scoreboard functions will use wireless controls and function from
locations around the perimeter of each field -not planned for the second floor.
10. Patio space was desirable for tournament and game occasions and gathering space.
Ms. Magney noted if the outside walls were maintained the cost of the renovation would be at
approximately $413,000 which would include site work. She added the smaller the project the
more expensive it was per square foot. Ms. Magney said the project included a re-working of rest
rooms with new fixtures and piping, and a concession area with water, tile and steel surfaces, etc.
Mr. Keprios reminded the Council the main reason for this project was the roof was at the end of
its life and unsafe. He added that staff recommended soliciting bids for the renovation of the
shelter building. Mr. Keprios said the Rotary Club has offered a contribution towards the project
predicated on the field project being done simultaneously.
Member Swenson inquired whether the deck portion of the bid could be 'add on' options on the
bid. Ms. Magney said some things could be optional i.e.; an asphalt patio rather than concrete or
a different type of roofing material. Mr. Keprios said staff would like to begin the project in July
with a bids being opened in June.
Following a Council discussion, Member Housh made a motion directing staff to solicit bids
for the renovation of the Courtney Fields shelter building as presented by Anderson/Johnson
Associates and Armstrong, Torseth, Skold and Rydeen, Inc., Architects and Engineers
(ATS&R) offering some add options to the base project. Member Swenson seconded the
motion.

WEB STREAMING INFORMATION PRESENTED Director Bennerotte, said Edina 16 was a
government access channel available to subscribers of Time Warner Cable. She said residents
who do not have cable or who have another type of technology were not able to watch Channel
16 programs. Ms. Bennerotte noted that persons living outside of the community do not have
access to Edina 16, and added DVD's of the meetings were available at Edina City hall or the
Community Library.
Ms. Bennerotte said Web streaming over the internet would improve what can be provided by
cable and reported several residents have requested video streaming. She reported cities
currently providing this service included: Bloomington, Burnsville, Eagan, Minneapolis, St. Louis
Park and St. Paul.
Ms. Bennerotte explained Web streaming was video on demand and any portion of a meeting can
be accessed without viewing the entire meeting. She said the meetings could be archived for
approximately a year. She said no formal RFP had been issued, however, a preliminary proposal
was solicited from a vendor that works with government units and set-up costs would be
approximately $13,500 with a monthly fee at or around $450 or $9,000 annually. The Company
has indicated that installation of the system could be completed within four to eight weeks.
James Bonneville with Granicus Company gave a demonstration of web streaming of Minutes
from a recent Council meeting. He said the company was trying to create a transparency in
government. Ms. Bennerotte informed the Council that approximately 40% of Edina residents do
not have access to Time Warner Cable.
Mr. Hughes elaborated that a by-product of web streaming would be the savings in man hours in
preparation of minutes. Funds for the technology would come from the communications fund
from franchise fees from the cable system.
Clerk Mangen noted the current method for recording minutes was more exhaustive than
required by statute. At a recent parliamentary procedure meeting she attended a comment was
heard that said, 'minutes should reflect what they do, not what they say". She noted statute
requirements for meeting minutes include: 1) who attended, 2) the agenda item, and 3) the action
taken.
Following a Council discussion, Member Swenson directed staff to develop and issue an RFP
for web streaming of Edina Channel 16 programming to include meetings of the Edina City
Council, Planning Commission or other meetings in the future. Member Housh seconded the
motion.
Ayes: Housh, Masica,Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
