Member Hovland seconded the motion Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Smith Abstaining: Maetzold Resolution adopted. ORDINANCE NO. 1997-13 ADOPTED ESTABLISHING AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD, SECOND READING WAIVED Manager Rosland explained staff recommends establishing an Absentee Ballot Board because election judges spend a great deal of time on election day processing (accepting or rejecting) absentee ballots. 1 Page 3 MinuteslEdina City CouncillSeptember 2.1997 Minnesota Election Law has for many years allowed cities to establish an “Absentee Ballot Board”. The role of such a board is to allow election judges to work in City Hall and process the absentee ballots until they are ready to have the voter marked in the precinct rosters and ballots tabulated by the ballot counters. The “Accepted” ballots are delivered to the polls on election day and tabulated by the election judges. However, until now, Absentee Ballot Boards were not allowed to begin their task until three days immediately preceding the election. While establishing a board would help, due to the high volumes of absentee ballots experienced by Edina it was not worth establishing such a board for the three day advantage it offered. During the 1997 legislative session the Secretary of State’s housekeeping bill was passed that allows an “Absentee Ballot Board” to begin the review process of accepting or rejecting thirty days before the election. Last November during the General Election Edina’s election judges processed over 3,000 absentee ballots on election day. An Absentee Ballot Board staffed by teams of election judges could process absentee ballots for the entire thirty days before election day, allowing for smoother polling place operation and earlier returns. Following a brief discussion, Member Hovland moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 1997-13 waiving second reading: EDINA ORDINANCE NO. 1997- 13 AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD The City Council of the City of Edina Ordains: Section I. The City Code is amended by adding a new Section 126 as follows: ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD 126.01 Absentee Ballot Board Established. There is hereby established an Absentee Ballot Board pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 2038.13 Subd I for the purpose of processing absentee ballots cast by Edina citizens. The board shall consist of a sufficient number of election judges appointed as provided in Minnesota Statutes Sections 204B.19 to 204B.22. 126.02 Duties of the Absentee Ballot Board. The Absentee Ballot Board Election Judges shall meet and take receipt of all return absentee ballot envelopes from the City Clerk at Edina City Hall. Two or more election judges shall examine and process said absentee ballots pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 203B. Section 2.. and publication according to law. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect, after its adoption [ L Rid. Mayor Attest: City Clerk Member Kelly seconded the motion. Rollcall Ayes: Faust, Kelly, Hovland, Maetzold, Smith Ordinance adopted. FIRST READING FOR ORDINANCE NO. 1997-14. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1230 TO ALLOW THE SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF STRONG BEER AT CITY OF EDINA OWNED PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT FACILITIES CONTINUED TO OCTOBER 6, Page 4 Minutes/Edina City CounciIlSepternber 2.1997 1997 Director Keprios informed the Council the Park Board, at their August 12, 1997, meeting, unanimously passed a motion recommending Ordinance No. 1997-14 be changed allowing City owned facilities currently allowed to serve 3.2% beer and wine also be allowed the option to serve strong beer. Board Chair Andrew Montgomery initiated the consideration. Currently, the ordinance does not allow anyone to serve or consume strong beer at Edina park sites, e.g. Edinborough Park, Centennial Lakes Park, Arneson Acres Park, VanValkenburg Park and Braemar Golf Course. I The Park Board suggests that Edina Code Section 1230 Conduct in Parks and Public Places, be revised allowing strong beer to be consumed at park sites currently allowing consumption of 3.2% beer. The City would NOT be allowed to sell strong beer, however guests at wedding receptions and other social event rentals could be served strong beer. Director Keprios explained the difference between strong beer and 3.2% beer is minimal. Strong beer has an alcohol content between 3.4% and 4%, where wine is slightly higher in alcohol content than strong beer. Amending the Ordinance would grant Edina facilities the same flexibility recently granted to licensed restaurants in Edina. He presented a draft Ordinance prepared by Attorney Gilligan, that would accomplish the Park Board's recommendation. Council comments were, what is the City's liability if strong beer were served at Centennial Lakes; are we losing revenues by not allowing this; why does the City not allow strong beer to be served; and the Ordinance is archaic, the restaurants are serving strong beer, why not Braemar. Following a brief Council discussion and informal poll, Council consensus was to direct staff to review the issues brought up during the discussion and to continue the issue until the regularly scheduled meeting October 6, 1997. ORDINANCE 1997-15 ADOPTED. CHANGING THE NAME OF ARROWHEAD COURT TO MCINTYRE COURT: SECOND READING WAIVED Manager Rosland explained the plat known as Arrowhead Pointe was developed and recorded at the Hennepin County Recorders office with the only street in the subdivision named Arrowhead Court. The developer, who originally named the street, has requested a street name change to eliminate possible confusion with nearby streets of a similar name and to reflect Edina's Irish Heritage. Manager Rosland noted that to date no houses have been constructed along the street. For this reason staff recommended adoption of the ordinance changing the street name. I Member Maetzold moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 1997-15, waiving Second Reading. ORDINANCE NO. 1997-15 STREET NAME CHANGE FROM ARROWHEAD COURT TO MCINTYRE COURT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA ORDAINS: Section 1. The roadway named Arrowhead Court is hereby named, "Mclntyre Court". Section 2. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon passage and publication.

Page 5 MinutedEdina City CounciilSeptember 2.1997 DISCUSSION HELD ON EDINA SWIM CLUB'S AQUATENNIAL SWIM MEET Director Keprios explained at the Park Board Meeting, June IO, 1997, an Edina resident raised the issue of the appropriateness of closing the Edina Aquatic Center to the general public for an entire weekend to accommodate the Edina Aquatennial Swim Meet. Following a brief discussion the Park Board requested the issue be placed on the September agenda. I The Edina Aquatennial Swim Meet has been held at the Edina Aquatic Center since 1959. In years past, many complaints have been received when the Center has been closed for the event. The Edina Swim Club has 200 members, 90% are Edina residents. The Edina Aquatic Center is one of three outdoor 50 meter pools that continue to host the swim meet. The Club is charged $1,200 per day ($3,600 total) for use of the facility to host the meet that serves as a fund raiser for the Club. In 1997, $1 1,000 was raised from the event. On August 12, 1997, the Park Board passed a motion stating the Edina Swim Club move their Aquatennial Swim meet to the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center facility for their July 10-12 1998, meet. The issue would be revisited in 1998. Letters were received from Anne S. and David R. Braun, 5104 West 56" Street; Paul Lundsten, General Chairman of Minnesota Swimming, Inc., 1001 Highway #7, Hopkins, MN; Andy Otness, 5433 Kellogg Avenue South; and John Witzel, Edina Swim Club President. John Witzel, 5700 View Lane, President of the Edina Swim Club, explained the Club would sponsor the Swim Meet at the University of Minnesota in 1998 but needs to work towards finding a long-term solution to the problem. Following a brief Council discussion, Council consensus was they have confidence in staff and the Park Board and that a resolution can be reached resolving this issue without involvement from the Council. REVISION CONSIDERED FOR DONATIONS. SPONSORSHIPS AND ADVERTISING POLICY Mayor Smith noted he asked staff to re-examine the policy for donations, sponsorships and advertising as it pertains to the sale of advertising on City owned properties. Further, the Park Board, at their August 12, 1997, meeting, moved that the Council consider advertising on scoreboards. More specifically, the Board would like to finance the replacement of the scoreboards at Courtney Fields in Braemar Park by selling advertising. Currently, the sale of advertising on fixed stock (as opposed to rolling stock, Le. a Zamboni or a T-shirt) is prohibited. If the Council were to authorize a revision in the Donations, Sponsorships and Advertising Policy, the Park Board would make specific recommendations regarding the acceptable type of advertising and financing at Courtney Fields and other park property. Council, following a brief discussion, authorized that the policy be revisited and to include some assurance that if advertising were allowed it would be in good taste. Alternative revenue sources are always being sought as well as corporate sponsors and these revisions in the policy could help make that a reality. It was further suggested the revisions could be on a trial basis. I RESOLUTION ADOPTED GRANTING AUTHORIZATION FOR APPLICATION FOR A SAFE AND SOBER GRANT Assistant Chief Siitari explained Safe and Sober is a national traffic safety campaign designed to reduce impaired driving crashes and increase seat belt usage through enforcement and public information activities. i The Police Department has secured a $15,000 Safe & Sober grant to be used to fund overtime traffic enforcement. Safe and Sober has four enforcement waves that focus on: impaired driving, youth, Page 6 Minutes/Edina Citv CouncillSeptember 2.1997 seat belts, and safe driving. Matching soft costs consist of operating costs for squad cars used during enforcement efforts and staff time devoted to administration and educational efforts in the high school. It Member Hovland introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR SAFE AND SOBER COMMUNITIES GRANT BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina Police Department enter into a grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety for the project entitled SAFE AND SOBER COMMUNITIES during the period from October 1, 1997, through September 30, 1998; WHEREAS, William Bernhjelm, Chief of the Edina Police, is hereby authorized to execute such agreements as are necessary to implement the project on behalf of the Edina Police Department. Member Faust seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Resolution adopted. RESOLUTION ADOPTING 1998-1999 COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES PLAN UPDATE Sanitarian Velde reported on August 6, 1997, the Community Health Services Advisory Committee reviewed the 1998-1 999 Edina Community Health Services Plan Update and recommended approval by the Council. The Plan Update was developed after analyzing the demographics in the community, seeking input from existing Community Health Task Forces and consulting with providers in the community and other local agency staff such as the Hennepin Community Health Department, Minneapolis Health Department, and Bloomington Public Health staff.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING COUNTY ASSISTANCE IN THE OVERSIGHT OF THE MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT CONTINUED TO SEPTEMBER 15. 1997 Manager Rosland informed Council that member communities of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distrist have received a draft resolution that would make the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District accountable. It is purported that the District has not demonstrated good governance in the conduct of its statutory responsibilities in many areas. Involved cities have secured representatives to serve on an examining board. Representing Edina is former Mayor Richards, who previously was an Attorney with the Nine- Mile Creek Watershed District.
