PUBLIC HEARING CONDUCTED ON CASCADE LANE BERMING & LIFT STATION; IMPROVEMENT
NO. ST.S.-182 ORDERED. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved
and ordered placed on file.
of December 1, 1986 the Council gave concept approval to a proposed project
on Cascade Lane for berming and a lift station which would provide flood pro-
tection to three homes. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board has now
voted to participate in the construction cost of the project and a one-
third split in the cost is proposed between the Watershed District, the City
and the property owners.
would protect against a 10 year flood event and both the Watershed District Board
and the City would ask the property owners to sign a waiver holding the Water-
shed District Board and the City harmless if any water goes over the dike, such
as a 100-year flood event which would flood the backyards. The estimated cost
of construction for the improvement is $11,060.00 proposed to be assessed
against three lots at an estimated cost of $1,228.89 per lot, with 1/3 of the
cost funded by the City and 1/3 funded by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
This project is being proposed as a result of a petition by the property owners
to reduce flooding and meetings with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The
improvement would be assessed over a ten year period with an annual rate of
interest on the unpaid balance not to exceed the maximum allowed by law.
Mr. Hoffman stated that staff would recommend approval of the.project, subject
to the granting of an easement for construction by the property owners and
the signing of a waiver by the property owners to hold the City and the Water-
shed District harmless for any flooding over the dike.
three benefited property owners were present.
Member Kelly introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption, subject

Rollcall :
Ayes: Kelly, Richards, Smith, Turner, Courtney
Resolution adopted.
INFORMAL HEARING HELD ON STREET DESIGN OF WEST 50TH STREET FROM EDINA COURT
TO HALIFAX AVENTJE. Engineer Fran Hoffman said that the remaining portion of
West 50th Street between Edina Court and Halifax Avenue has been carefully
. reviewed for construction. He recalled that in March, 1985 the Council gave
concept approval to Alternate A to .construct this portion of the roadway in
the same configuration as it now exists. The other issues that need resolu-
tion are: A) Appropriate time to do the construction to dovetail with the
France Avenue improvement, B) Removal of the overhead NSP wires and relocation
underground, and C) Appropriate time to reforest the boulevards due to .losses
from Dutch Elm disease. With regard to issue A, the City of Minneapolis has
advised that a contract for construction will probably not occur prior to late
June or early July.
from Excelsior Boulevard to West 44th Street. If started mid-summer, this
portion could result in the France Avenue project extending into the 1988
construction season. Therefore, staff has concluded that if construction is
to occur on West 50th Street it should be early 1987 or be delayed to 1989
and the concerns of the 50th ti France Business & Professional Association
should be considered in making a decision as to the appropriate construction
timeframe. Regarding issue By after careful review with NSP staff would
recommend that the overhead wires be buried on the north boulevard behind the
sidewalk as the most cost effective method of removing the overhead wires.
Mr. Hoffman said that another option if the road construction is not done
in 1987 would be to reconstruct the sidewalk area on the north side, get the
overhead wires buried and begin the reforestation program as soon as possible.
With regard to issue Cy reforestation of boulevard trees is recommended due
to tree loss from Dutch Elm disease. Staff believes the north sidewalk should
be relocated a few feet north to allow for a wider boulevard area (City
right of way line is actually ten feet north of the sidewalk). This side-
walk relocation would allow new trees to be placed a little farther from the
curb line. Additionally, some consideration should be given to removing
some of the trees which appear to be damaged or hang too low over the street.
Mr. Hoffman noted that a letter had been received from Perry Anderson,
President of the 50th & France Business & Professional Association, who advised
that in a survey of the members an overwhelming 83% majority voted to postpone
the 50th Street construction for at least two years.
costs for the project are $230,000 for street and sidewalks, $45,000 for water-
main work, $5,700 for sanitary sewer work, $59,000 for storm sewer work for
a total of approximately $340,000 plus an estimated $40,000 for engineering
costs. In response to questions of the Council, Mr. Hoffman stated that the
roadway construction could be completed in not more than six weeks, working
12-hour days/6-day weeks, if done in May and June when weather would be favor-
able.
the $3-4,000 category.
until 1989 could be 3-4% on labor and 1-2% on materials. The aesthetic work
(burying of overhead wires and reforestation) could be done this year and
would not necessitate closing of the street except for short periods of time.
The official detour for the construction of West 50th Street would be via
Wooddale Avenue to West 54th Street to France Avenue. The France Avenue
project will take one construction season to accomplish the work.

had asked staff to look at the possibility of controlling the application of
herbicides, pesticides and lawn fertilizers within the City.
St. Paul, Bloomington and Shoreview are involved in some regulation of these
chemicals and the key elements of their ordinances provide for permits, spill
control and lawn posting. As to existing control, the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture is the agency responsible for the control of pesticide’ application.
Lawn chemical application companies are required to be licensed by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture who monitors their activities. Each company has certified
pesticide applicators who have been trained and tested for the pesticides they
.use. However, each individual pesticide applicator may have up to four workers
under supervision who may not be certified but may apply pesticides.

lative session which will require certification of each applicator.

meeting. John Peckham of ChemLawn commented that he is a resident of the City

amount of time, dam the spill, clean up the spill and if there is any environ-
mental damage they are liable for that also. Member Turner commented that she

MISSION STATEMENT PRESENTED IN FINAL FORMAT. Assistant Manager Hughes stated
that the Mission Statement adopted at the meeting of January 26, 1987 has now

process was to ask department heads to prepare a mission statement for their
department. Mr. Hughes said that following discussion at the staff level,
staff would recommend that the departmental mission statements be drafted
following the March 21 Council Retreat at which goals will be set. From a
departmental standpoint it is difficult for a department head who is respon-
sible for an operational function of the City to write a mission statement
