Planner Craig Larsen recalled that the subject property is located west of Cahill Road and.south of Dewey Hill Road. June 17, 1985 meeting, the Council had heard the request for final rezoning and preliminary plat approval and had referred the matter back to the staff and the Community Development and Planning Commission to consider changes to the landscap- ing plan so that it would be consistent with adjoining properties and to allow an opportunity for the residents of the adjoining condominiums to comment on the plan. Brutger representative Steve Wilson met with members of Windwood Condominiums and Dewey Hill Condominiums on Monday, June 24, 1985. At the Planning Commission meeting on June 26, 1985 the developer presented a revised landscape plan. Also submitted at that meeting were petitions from residents of Dewey Hill Condominiums in opposition to the proposed development. a letter from the president of Windwood Condominiums Association approving the revised landscape plan. Mr. Larsen pointed out that the revised landscape plan substantially increases the sizes of the stock and also increases the number of plantings and emphasizes perimeter screening on the north, west and south sides of the development. The Planning Commission at its meeting on June 26 recommended approval of the revised landscape plan. Mr. Larsen clarified that the referral to the Planning Commission was for review of the landscape plan and that the request before the Council now is for final rezoning and preliminary plat approval. Mayor Courtney stated that he had received many letters from adjoining residents, copies of which have been provided to the Council I4embers. Bob Gunderson, attorney for Brutger Companies, noted that the concept for the project has been approved, sub- ject to further review of the landscape plan and that the developer had met with the adjoining residents for their comments. Steve Wilson, Brutger Companies, stated that some changes have been made to the landscape plan and in meeting with representatives from the Windwood Association they have found it acceptable as indicated in the letter from the president of the Association dated June 26, 1985. In the meeting with representatives of Dewey Hill Condominiums, the conversation tended to move away from the landscape plan and there was no resolve of the matter. Mr. Wilson then reviewed the landscape plan pointing out the changes in type, size and number of trees and submitted that it is now compatible with the landscaping found on adjacent properties. Mayor Courtney stated that from the letters he had received the chief objection to the development was that townhouses were proposed rather than a condominium building such as Dewey Hills Condominiums. concerns and objections were Alvin liiller, Jack Eorciea and Albert Levine of 5501 Dewey Hill Road, and Alvyn Pope of 5601 Dewey Hill Road. Mr. Gunderson responded that the project will offer new housing for families to enter Edina and support the community, that the development is a quality project and will bring in quality people. adopt.ion of Ordinance No. 82545 as follows: At its The Planning Commission also received Voicing their No further comments being heard, Member Turner moved Second Reading and ORDINANCE NO. 825-A5 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE (NO. 825) BY ADDING TO THE PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT (PRD-3) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA.

UMBRELLA INSURANCE DISCUSSED; LIABILITY INSURANCE CAP OF $500,000 AFFIRMED. Mr. Rosland advised that a quote for $1,000,000 umbrella insurance has been received. The cost would be $77,000, plus an additional $20,000 to bring the Police liability up to $1,000,000. A major condition is that the City would be required to purchase additional coverage to bring the City's liability insurance up to $1,000,000. This additional coverage was quoted at $82,000. to purchase the $1,000,000 umbrella, the final cost would be $179,000. Staff would not recommend this option. As an alternative, because the City's current liability coverage is $500,000 and does not meet the liability cap set by the State of $200,000/600,000, it is recommended that we bring the City's liability coverage up to $1,000,000 and not purchase the excess umbrella coverage. The cost to the-City under this option would be $82,000 and would put our level of liability in excess of the State cap. spectively rather than retroactively to impose liability where people have been acting reasonably upon the statutory limitations. brought their liability coverage up to $1,000,000 it would be covered as to tort liability by exceeding the statutory minimum except for one area. recently added a third catagory of liability for cities which was the release or threatened release of toxic substances which established the maximum liability at twice the liability for other kinds of torts. Therefore, the City would have a possible exposure for hazardous substances of $1,200,000. insurance companies at the present time will not write hazardous substances insur- ance. If ,the Council elected not to increase the City's liability coverage, it would in effect be self-insuring for any judgment over the City's coverage. After. further discussion, Member Bredesen made a motion to stay with the current liability coverage of $500,000 and not to purchase the umbrella coverage as quoted. was seconded by Member Kelly.

Mr. Rosland stated that, in response to the Council's request, a report has been prepared on the matter of Edina prosecution and resulting costs which in 1985 have been running above the .amount budgeted. In preparing the 1986 Budget, the Council may wish to consider a policy question on the degree of enforcement the City should pursue. Mr. James Van Valkenburg reviewed the report noting in particular the increased number of DWI citations and a total of 12,243 citations issued by the Police Department in 1984. He also pointed out the complex procedure of a file through the court system. Hallberg, Prosecuting Attorney, commented that there is a trend towards requiring community service of defendants instead of imposing fines resulting in reduced revenues. Personalities involved in the court system also have a great effect upon how efficiently the system may run which also affects revenues. Member Bredesen commented that, if the public policy of the State is to encourage.cit:fes to prosecute DWIs and other offenses and then impose a financial penalty for strict enforcement, this should be addressed to our representatives in the legislature; that the residents of the City should not be forced to pay the cost associated with DTJI prosecution through their tax levy. letter communicating this be sent to our representatives andlor the Municipal Legislative Comission. No formal action was taken. FIRE DEPT C)RGANIZATION/PARAMEDIC PROGRAM DISCUSSED; CONT'D TO 7/22/85 Mr . Rosland stated that the paramedic program has been under discussion for several years and that the Council, after consideration of alternatives and recommendations, will decide if the paramedic service will continue to be delivered by the City or by some alternative system. Mr. Rosland then called on Robert Buresh, Public Safety Director, to explain the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system. Mr. Buresh explained that the City's authority starts with the State who by statute regulates EMS at least to the Advanced Life Support (ALS) level. We also get our authority through an Hennepin County EMS Ordinance which regulates various aspects of the EMS program. Medical direction comes from a Hennepin County EMS medical director who monitors all operational aspects of the program, The records part of the system is regulated through the Community Health Depart- ment who monitors us via reports in relation to the other ambulance services in Mr. Marsh He suggested-that a . 7 115185 207 the community. was developed, made up of representatives from all parts of the system, to over- see the process and the Council is continually reviewing the many aspects of the system to upgrade it to meet current needs. If the City chooses to give up its license from the State, we notify the Community Health Department and they in turn would refer the request to the Zoning Committee of the Council. The Zoning Committee will evaluate this service area to see where it most likely should go. Mr. Buresh noted that local requests as to provider usually prevail. In the alternative, the City could negotiate directly with another provider for EMS services. Hennepin County is interested in taking over this zone at an estimated cost of $375,000 per year to operate one unit around the clock, plus administra- tive costs for an approximate total of $500,000. would be a lose situation as EIG senrice in Edina will not generate $500,000 in revenue. William Feck, Fire Chiet, then presented graphics showing the following: 1) emergency medical calls and response times, 2) 1984 costs for 27-man fire suppression force and ambulance fee revenues, 3) paramedic program costs for 1984, 27-man fire suppression force, 4) Edina Fire Department 1985 budget with added costs for two additional paramedics, 5) paramedic program costs for 1985, 29-man suppression force, 6) paramedic program costs and revenues, and 7) comparision of ambulance service fees. force would remain the same if the City were not doing paramedic work.and if the force were reduced would there not be a major savings in cost. that when fire suppression services are inter-related with another service it becomes more complex. to handle an initial response to a structural fire of one of Edina's average largest the normal response as set out by the national standards for fire suppression.and pointed out that problems can develop quickly if you operate with short manpower. This response requires a team of 10 to 13 firefighters to suppress the fire safely. It means that 8 men must be scheduled on a day shift to work out vacations/holidays, plus the chief officer and 3 people in the fire prevention bureau. On evenings and weekends the schedule can-be stripped down to a &man shift because it-is easier to get off-duty response and volunteer help. 6 to 10 working fires per year of this type that involve the entire structure; many. are caught in the earlier stages. He explained that service levels are a function of economics, tradition, politics, professional opinion, management, attitudes and related services. the development of the building insp'ections program which involves the Department in plan review of new building construction and remodeling, beginning with Southdale Center in 1955. including fire suppression, emergency medical services and fire prevention and control. The Department has integrated the firefighters into the related services of the City. If the EMS service.iS reduced, it would give.the Department more man- hours to be involved in other aspects of fire suppression. If the fire suppression side of the Department is reduced, it would definitely affect the related services. . Mr. Rosland stated that he has been working with John Maloney, union representative, as to how the union perceives the survival of the paramedic program. They have proposed the following: 1) paramedics would continue to be firefighters principally, 2) within three months the City would bring the Department up to 29 men, 3) the City would maintain at least 3 paramedics per 24-hour shift and when this number is not possible, the paramedics on duty would be kept from all but emergency duties; they would also not be asked to change shifts to avoid this problem, 4) the City would make every effort to recruit and train paramedics from within the Department, and 5) if the preceding were accomplished, 7 of the present 8 paramedics would continue as paramedics through 1986. Mr. Rosland advised that in researching other alter- natives, there are three other providers, Hennepin County, Smith-Vartin and Fair- view-Southdale Hospital. He introduced Dr. Timothy Crimmins, emergency physician at Fairview-Southdale Hospital, advising*.that he.-is the new.medica1 director-for the Center, is chairman of the Ethics Committee of the EMS Council and has had the oppor- tunity to observe the EMS system through the metro area and is very familiar with each of the ambulance services. He identified five areas to consider when looking at ambulance service: 1) how fast can we get an ambulance to the patient's home, to that instution, to that public place or out on the highway, 2) what quality of medical care can we deliver once there, 3) professional attitude of the paramedics, 4) what other'services can the paramedics provide to the community, and 5) who can do it at the lowest cost. after investigation by WCCO and alledged serious wrongdoings has been bought out by another entity and are going through reorganization to improve their quality of care.

The Edina paramedics provide other services to the community, e.g. fight structural fires, inspect buildings, are involved in community education and teach CPR to first responders in the community. He also noted that there is 'an unseen factor of cooperation with the Police Department. the team effort at the scene of an emergency results in better medical care. Dr. Crimmins stated that he felt the Council should make the commitment to add at least two paramedics to make the Edina fire-based system work. senthal, 6936 Hillcrest Lane, made a plea to increase the paramedic force to insure that the residents of Edina are served prop.erly and:promptly in emer- gency situations. Mr. Rosland recalled that in 1979 a study was made of the manpower and organization of the Fire Department and it was felt that the City could survive the paramedic system with a 29-man suppression force with help by re-establishing the volunteer system. established.- Fees for ambulance service have been raised to surpass the county level and a tougher collection policy has been adopted. in 1985 fees will generate revenue in excess of $200,000 which will pay for two additional paramedics on the regular firefighter salary as well as picking up approximately the $113,000 cost of the paramedic program. Mr. Rosland said he would recommend that the City hire two additional paramedics to survive the fire-based paramedic program. program, we would have to look at the size of our fire suppression force and look at a level of service the City could provide. excellent opportunity to work with Fairview-Southdale Hospital to provide EMS service and that if the Council should decide to look at other providers, the staff would like the opportunity to let those providers present a full and detailed report to the Council as to their EMS services. 5020 Richmond Drive, urged the Council to continue the Edina paramedic program. Alison Fuhr, 6609 Brittany Road, also spoke in support of the recommendation.
