Presentation bv Engineer
Engineer Hoffman said in 1973, Edina started re-building streets that were between 35-50 years old.
The Country Club area was the first area to be resurfaced and new curbs installed. The Morningside
area was completed in the early '80s and the necessity for improvements has gradually moved west
as the City grew older. Recently, the Hilldale area north of Interlachen was completed bringing us to
the five areas being proposed for reclamation projects this year. Engineer Hoffman reminded the
Council that all the projects to be discussed have been staff initiated and require a 4/5 vote for the
projects to move forward. He also reminded the Council that: 1) all streets being proposed for
recIamation/reconstruction are at least 35 years of age; 2) the public hearings are to decide whether to
order the projects; and 3) after the projects are completed, assessment hearings will be held to
determine the final amount assessed against the benefited properties.
Engineer Hoffman said residents have received a letter from the City Engineer, regarding the
assessment process. He stated that typically street assessments are spread over a ten year period with
interest accruing on the unpaid balance. Engineer Hoffman noted that all sewer lines in the proposed
improvement areas will be televised to ascertain whether repairs are warranted. The cost of this
process will be paid by utility funds. Engineer Hoffman noted Assistant Engineer Houle has met with
residents concerning the proposed improvements.
Presentation by Assistant Ennineer
Assistant Engineer Houle pointed out that local streets in Edina receive routine maintenance
throughout their life. In years past, a technique was used called skin-coating (which is no longer
Page 1
MinutesBdina City CounciVMav 3,1999
I used) that put down a thick slurry on the pavement. Pot holes are patched on an 'as needed' basis.
Seal-coating and crack-sealing are performed every 10-12 years as needed. The Public Works
Department analyzes the streets and determines whether to seal-coat or seal the cracks, and when.
Bituminous roadways are considered flexible pavement and historically last 30-35 years.
Assistant Engineer Houle explained that roadways contain many patches and much cracking, but
may not be at the point of needing total reconstruction. Instead, a street reclaiming process could be
used. The reclaiming process consists of a grinding machine @ding up the existing roadway and
using all portions of the existing roadway. The roadway is graded, compacted, and then repaved.
Disturbances to driveways, yards and landscaping for areas that are not adding concrete curb and
gutters is minimal. The City repairs disturbances associated with the project such as underground
sprinklers. Disturbances to driveways, yards and landscaping for areas that adding concrete curb
and gutters will depend on the layout of the new curb and gutter. Reclaiming is typically about one
third the cost of total roadway reconstruction.
Assistant Engineer Houle finished stating that if the projects are ordered, bids would be opened and
awarded in June with construction beginning in July. Projects would be completed in September,
depending upon the utility work involved. Special assessment hearings would be held either this fall
or the fall of 2000.
Member Faust asked clarification regarding the special assessment hearings. Assistant Engineer
Houle explained if the projects are ordered, and construction takes place, then assessment hearings
would be held. Mayor pro-tem Maetzold explained when the projects are completed and actual costs
are known, the Council reviews the formulas used to calculate the special assessments. Historically,
the assessments have been by parcel or by unit.
Member Hovland asked what the Engineering Department standards were for determining whether
a roadway requires reclamation. Assistant Engineer Houle explained that upon viewing the
pavement and if it looks like it needs reconstruction, that would be suggested. If the roadway is
beginning to crack, break-up, and heave, reclaiming will be suggested. The goal is to catch the
roadways before they require total reconstruction. Member Hovland asked if conditions were
standard for all the projects being proposed. Assistant Engineer Houle said streets vary in some
aspects, but all the roadways are thirty-five plus years old and are very brittle. Engineer Hoffman
noted it is better to totally reclaim a roadway than only repair the 'bad spots'.
I.
Mayor pro-tem Maetzold asked the life expectancy of reclaiming versus total reconstruction.
Assistant Engineer Houle said reclaiming will last as long as a total reconstruction. Mayor pro-tem
Maetzold inquired whether the cost of reclaiming is about a third of the cost of reconstruction.
Assistant Engineer Houle said that is correct.
BROOKSIDE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD STREET RESURFACING, CURB AND GUTTER,
IMPROVEMENT NO. A-184 Assistant Engineer Houle noted the Brookside Heights neighborhood
is located south of Interlachen.Boulevard and north of Vernon Avenue or adjacent to the Grandview
area. Streets included are; Oxford Avenue, Bedford Avenue, William Avenue, Hankerson Avenue,
Grandview Lane, West 51st Street, and West 52nd Street. The area has one of the worst scenarios for
roadway cracking and alligator cracking. The roadways were constructed between 1956 and 1966,
and have received normal sealcoat maintenance. Comments were received about drainage problems
during the neighborhood meetings. The proposed improvement would include curb and gutter along
Oxford Avenue and Bedford Avenue, at the residents' request. Presently, Oxford and Bedford are 23

feet in width and are planned to be increased to 26 feet in width. Staff plans to protect trees along the
streets, although some residents have asked the City to remove their trees. Assistant Engineer Houle
said the area will be studied regarding the location of s&p pumps and a decision made whether a
storm sewer line needs to be installed. I
The estimated project cost for the Brookside Heights neighborhood is $260,000. Estimated special
assessments are $1,300 per lot or unit. Residents who will be receiving concrete curb and gutter will
incur an additional $800 per assessable lot for a total of $2,100.
Member Faust asked how the parking pull-offs on Bedford will be handled. Assistant Engineer Houle
said according to City Code, pull-offs are illegal. Engineer Hoffman said staff will study whether a
code amendment is needed to maintain the pull-offs; or to recommend removing the pull-offs. The
Brookside area is not the only location in the.City that has pull-offs. Following staff analysis, this
issue may come before the Council for discussion.
Member Hovland asked how the utility improvements would be handled during the construction
process. Assistant Engineer Houle elaborated that aIl sanitary sewers and watermains in the
neighborhood would be examined. The Brookside neighborhood has not had many breaks, so staff
does not believe many water repairs will be necessary, He reminded Council that lines are in the
process of being televised to determine whether repair is necessary. If repairs are warranted, funding
will come from the utility fund (which is charged to residents on a quarterly basis) and would not be
specially assessed. He added the Engineering Department sent out notices to utilities such as Paragon
Cable, Minnegasco, USWest, and NSP notdying them of potential projects. The utility companies, can
if they deemed it necessary, update their equipment during the street improvements' construction.
Minnegasco has indicated that they would like to update their mains during the construction of all
the projects.
Mayor pro-tern Maetzold pointed out that concrete curb and gutter are being installed on Oxford and
Bedford because residents have requested it. Assistant Engineer Houle said residents were surveyed
regarding interest in curb and gutter installation. Mayor pro-tem Maetzold asked for more
information on the sump pumps in the neighborhood. Assistant Engineer Houle said the proposed
improvement is similar to the Tower project where a storm sewer line will be installed allowing
homes with a sump pump to stub their individual pipes into the boulevard pipe. Within the next few
months, staff will be presenting results of the sump pump inspection program to the Council.
Public comments
Judy Romine, 5021 Oxford Avenue, stated she has been a resident of the City for thirty-five years. Ms.
Romine said that if only seven neighbors want curb and gutter it should not be installed. She urged
the Council to not install curb and gutter. In the past, residents were told no curb and gutter were
needed because of the area's steepness. Assistant Engineer Houle noted of the 24 surveys returned for
Bedford and Oxford Avenues, 18 residents wanted curb and gutter and 6 did not want. He added
that on steep grades roadway edges erode as the water drains down the street.
Gary Zachman, 5343 Interlachen Boulevard, stated he never saw any survey, and that he did not
favor installing curb and gutter. Mr. Zachman suggested the Council akempt io get overhead power-
lines buried.

Dean Lerum, 5025 Bedford Avenue, reported he supports preserving trees, but expressed concern
that he would loose eight feet of his front yard. Mr. Lerum asked that the street not be widened to 26
feet if the entire impact will be on his side of the street.
Tom Peterson, 5005 Bedford Avenue, noted he has also lived in the Brookside area thirty-five years.
Mr. Peterson commented; 1) he would be sad to lose the trees; 2) he did not want curb and gutter
installed; and 3) asked why the street width needed to be increased. Assistant Engineer Houle
explained that the street width would be increased to aid emergency vehicles. He added that the
width could be 24 feet, but then parking would need to be restricted to only one side of the street.
Member Kelly stated that he also hated to see the Brookside area loose its trees. He asked staff if the
speakers were accounted for in the survey results and urged that the streets be kept as narrow as is
safe, while still allowing public safety access.
Member Faust commented that she agreed with Member Kelly regarding keeping the trees where
possible and keeping the streets narrow as can be safely allowed.
Member Hovland asked for an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of “bulkhead curb”
versus ”surmountable curb” versus ”no curb“. Assistant Engineer Houle explained that without curb,
roadways break down more quickly because the edges are eroded. Surmountable curb allows a
minimal space for water to drain while bulkhead allows the best pooling and drainage of water.
I Member Kelly made a motion introducing the following resolution and moving its adoption:

SKYLINE DRIVE AND BLOSSOM COURT STREET RESURFACING, CURB AND GUTTER,
IMPROVEMENT NO. A-185 Assistant Engineer Houle explained that Skyline Drive from
Interlachen Boulevard to the end of the cul-de-sac and Blossom Court from Skyline Drive to the end
of the cul-de-sac are proposed to be resurfaced using a reclamation method. Assistant Engineer
Houle stated that the streets had been built in 1965 and have reached the end of their useful life.
Further seal coating and spot repairs were not recommended. He noted that neighbors, responding to
an Engineering survey indicated they do not want curb and gutter. The erosion at the southern end of
the project wiU be addressed as well as other drainage concerns. Any needed utility work would be
paid for from utility funds. The total estimated cost is $74,000 with approximately $2,900 proposed to
be specially assessed against each benefited parcel with a frontage on the affected street. Side and
rear yard properties would be assessed at 1/3 the front rate as per City policy.
Public Comment
Kathy Brunkow, 5101 Skyline Drive, asked if the median in the center of the cul-de-sac were going to
be maintained or changed. Ms. Brunkow also asked about underground sprinklers and invisible pet
fences. Assistant Engineer Houle replied that the cul-de-sac medians would be maintained. He added
that any underground sprinklers damaged during street construction would be restored. Engineer
Hoffman added that anything other than sprinklers such as invisible pet fences would not be
repaired, but would instead be the homeowner's responsibility.

HIGHLANDS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD STREET RESURFACING, CURB AND GUTTER,
IMPROVEMENT NO. A-186 Assistant Engineer Houle explained the improvement project consisted
of Dundee Road from Northwood Drive to Ayrshire Boulevard; Mirror Lakes Drive from Interlachen
Page 5
MinutesEdina Citv CouncivMav 3,1999
I Boulevard to Ayrshire Boulevard; Chantry Road and Glengarry Parkway from Northwood Drive to
Ayrshire Boulevard; Doncaster Way from Highland Park Shelter to Vernon Avenue; and Merritt
Circle. The total project cost is estimated at $487,000 with the estimated special assessment between
$2,500 and $3,000 per assessable lot. Some residents abut the project area with their side yards and
therefore, will be assessed at 1/3 of the per unit cost.
Assistant Engineer Houle noted staff initiated the improvement project. The Edina Street Department
requested that the streets be reconstructed because of their poor pavement condition. The existing
roadways were constructed between 1957 and 1962. Throughout this neighborhood, streets are
typically 28 to 30 feet wide bituminous roadways with some existing curb and gutter. He added the
steeper areas are exhibiting age cracking with major edge patching due to surface runoff.
Assistant Engineer Houle said that storm sewer for the area exists only adjacent to Highland Park.
The City's sump pump survey indicated a number of homes with sump pumps scattered throughout
the neighborhood. The neighborhood also has drainage problems around the park, along Ayrshire
and Doncaster (Lake) Lane. Assistant Engineer Houle said the drainage concern including the sump
pump drainage will be addressed by the project.
Assistant Engineer Houle reported that responses to a neighborhood survey did not favor installing
curb and gutter except for Merritt Circle residents. The neighborhood was surveyed two times. The
first survey responses indicated that 25 out of 43 respondents did not want curb and gutter. The
second time 53 out of 94 respondents did not prefer curb and gutter. He pointed out that a majority of
I residents on Merritt Circle want curb and gutter, however, the project does not include any curb and
gutter at this time.
Public Comment
Milan Sebek, 5408 Chantry Road, said that Mr. Houle answered all his questions and spent time
explaining the project, but Mr. Sebek still did not agree with the project. He wanted to see data. Mr.
Sebek said that he knew some roads are paid for with public funds, and he believed public funds
should be used for this project. He questioned why the two halves of Chantry are being done
differently. Mr. Sebek pointed out that a new storm sewer is scheduled to be installed on Ayrshire
and asked if that installation would necessitate redoing the pavement. He added that he did not
remember his street having been maintained with seal coating, and suggested the City had not
properly maintained his roadway. Mr. Sebek asked that approval of the improvement project be
delayed while more data was gathered. He urged the Council to get an outside engineer to offer an
opinion. Mr. Sebek stated that any damaged curbs were damaged by City snowplows and therefore,
should be the City's responsibility to repair. Mayor pro-tem Maetzold commented that in his
opinion, the south side of Chantry does look different, Assistant Engineer Houle replied that a couple
of years ago the south portion was sealed and it is in better shape. Engineer Hoffman added staff
annually reviews 160 miles of street and recommends which ones need reconstructing. The City uses
Braun htertec as a consultant for its streets. In some cases the decision is made to not reconstruct the
street, such as happened two years ago east of the park. He added that the storm sewer fund can pay
for that portion of the pavement over the pipe if the Council decides it should be done. Engineer
Hoffman acknowledged that snowplows most likely cause damage to curbs, but pointed out that is
part of the nature of the task.
Wayne Williams, 5213 Doncaster Way, said he has lived in his home at the corner of Croyden Lane
and Doncaster Way for 40 years. Mr. Williams opined that the problem is not reclaiming the
pavement, it is the increased use of Doncaster. He said a week ago there were between 100 and 200
Page 6

MinutesBdina City Councimay 3,1999
cars parked near the park. Mr. Williams asked if the City had a policy where City parks and School
buildings were included when special assessments for improvements were levied. Mr. Williams
added that there are many drainage problems in his area. He noted that his property is a corner lot
and asked if Croyden were redone would he get another special assessment. Assistant Engineer
Houle responded that the park and school are contributing $59,000 in special assessments for the
project. He added that the drainage issues will be reviewed and remedied as part of the project.
Assistant Engineer Houle explained that the Highlands Park Improvement is proposed to be assessed
as a per unit assessment and since Mr. Williams' property fronts Doncaster, he would be charged one
unit, However, in the future if Croyden were reconstructed and specially assessed then Mr. Williams'
property would be assessed 1/3 of a unit assessment as per City policy for side and rear lot
properties.
Jim Kelly, 5701 Ayrshire Lane, said he also has a corner lot. Mr. Kelly agreed with Mr. Williams'
concerns. He added he has observed a speeding problem as well, and asked that a speed bump be
installed when the street is redone. Mr. Kelly said the park users cause huge traffic and parking
problems for the neighborhood. Mayor pro-tem Maetzold said that Mr. Kelly should contact the
City's Traffic Safety Committee regarding the speed bump. City Manager Hughes pointed out the
City Attorney recommends speed bumps not be installed because of their liability.
Mike Marinozich, 5516 Merritt Circle, also agreed with the previous two speakers. Mr, Marinozich
suggested a STOP sign at the intersection of Doncaster and Merritt Circle would help the speed
problem, and so would additional police patrols in the neighborhood. He asked that curb and gutter
be installed because otherwise City snowplows cut up residents' yards when plowing snow. Mr.
Marinozich also asked if sidewalks could be installed from Doncaster to Vernon. He said the
sidewalks on Vernon are an embarrassment and should be upgraded. Mayor pro-tem Maetzold
noted that sidewas throughout the City are being reviewed and addressed.
Gerhard Brahms, 5229 Doncaster Way, agreed with his neighbors regarding speed, parking and the
need to have the City and Edina Schools share in the costs of the improvement. Mr. Brahms said that
on Friday evenings he has seen many cars double parked at the park. When Mr. Brahms called Edina
Park and Recreation, he found out that only one sanctioned team had been scheduled. It was
apparent to Mr. Brahms that Edina is running out of park space and the demand for use will continue
to increase, especially with the popularity of soccer. Mr. Brahms stated he hoped that the City is
planning for future needs when they do improvement projects. Assistant Engineer Houle said the
number of trips generated by the park and school have been reviewed and he agreed that two to
three evenings per week, the parks do bring in very heavy usage.
Anthony Ragozzino, 5304 Chantry Road, stated that he and a number of the neighbors looked at
Chantry Road. They do not think it looks like it warrants being reconstructed. Mr. Ragozzino urged
the Council to not order the reclamation project, but to instead just seal coat the road.
Jay Farnum, 5500 Chantry Road, agreed with Mr. Ragozzino and asked that the reclamation of
Chantry Road be delayed. Mr. Farnum expressed concern about an additional assessment when the
southerly portion of Chantry is redone. Engineer Hoffman reviewed the City's policy for assessing
front, side, and rear lots. He explained that if a property has an improvement on its rear or side yard
then it receives an assessment equal to 1/3 of the front yard assessment. However, Engineer Hoffman
pointed out this determination is the Council's and can be reviewed when they hold the special
assessment hearing after the project is completed. I

I Orville Eide, 5500 Glengarry Parkway, stated he lives at the southwest corner of Glengarry and
Ayrshire. He asked why the south part of the street is not being reclaimed at this time. Mi. Eide said
Ayrshire has received the brunt of the drainage and has not been maintained properly.
Julian Idzorek, 5205 Chantry Road, asked if there was a rational approach to maintaining streets in
Edina or were they redone in a random manner. Mr. Idzorek asked to see the cost of seal coating
compared to reclaiming. He would like to see data showing what the useful life of a street is
typically. He urged that common sense be used in ordering improvements. Assistant Engineer Houle
explained that seal coating gains two to four years, and in his opinion the road is past the point that
seal coating is a solution.
David Hoops, 5108 Mirror Lakes Drive, stated there is lots of traffic on his street, mainly from cut-
through drivers. Drivers travel at a high speed and he expressed concern for safety. Two years ago
his neighborhood asked for a STOP sign and were turned down. Mr. Hoops worried that if the
roadway were improved, drivers would speed more. Engineer Hoffman replied that in his
experience, improved roadway condition does not increase speed. Speed is more a factor of the
driver's comfort level regarding size and design of the street. However, staff can do a radar survey
before and after the improvement to determine if it has had any bearing on the speed in the
neighborhood.
Randy Morgan, 5808 South Drive, asked when the other portion of Mirror Lakes Drive was scheduled
for improvement. Mr. Morgan questioned why the entire road was not reclaimed at the same time.
He suggested that the entire project be delayed. Mr. Morgan also stated he disagreed with the
engineer, that in his opinion, speed does increase on smoother roads. Assistant Engineer Houle
explained that if the streets are not reclaimed, eventually the sub-grade will deteriorate and then a
total street reconstruction will be needed costing residents much more than the reclamation. I
Don Martin, 5205 Mirror Lakes Drive, stated he had been a resident since 1957 and has had his street
redone time and again. He felt the City should have redone the north end when the south end was
redone. Mr. Martin stated he wanted to know the actual cost of the project. Engineer Hofmann
explained that an engineer's estimate was all that was available until after the project is advertised
and bids are taken. If the bids come in too high then the project will be delayed until more favorable
bids can be received.
Ronald Vessey, 5404 Dundee Road, expressed concern with the damage caused by installation of
utilities into streets. Assistant Engineer Houle replied that all the utilities will be examined to
determine their status before the street is reclaimed.
Frances Engelsma, 5208 Dundee Road, said there is no curb in front of her home.
Council Discussion/ Action
Member Hovland stated he appreciated the comments of residents. He added that he believed that
curb and gutter could be ins-thed on Merritt, but not without proper notice. Member Hovland
indicated that he favored the project.
Member Faust asked if curb and gutter could still be ordered. Engineer Hoffman replied that the
Council had the option if they desired to order the project and then hold another hearing to consider
the curb and gutter issue when more information could be gathered.

EDEN PRAIRIE ROAD STREET RESURFACING, CURB AND GUTTER, IMPROVEMENT NO.
A-188 Assistant Engineer Houle stated that Eden Prairie Road from Blake Road to Kaymar Drive is
proposed to be reclaimed. The existing roadway is in poor condition and was constructed in 1963.
Concrete curb and gutter along with other types of curb (timbers, bituminous, etc.) exist in front of
some residences and both the condominium buildings at 6105 and 6005 Eden Prairie Road. The
pavement is in relatively poor condition containjng many types of cracking and patches. As part of
the project, the portion of Eden Prairie Road adjacent to 6016 Vernon Avenue will be removed, the
pathway will be extended, and the remaining area re-sodded.
I
Assistant Engineer Houle reported that the neighborhood was surveyed two times. The first time
four out of six residents were in favor of installing concrete curb and gutter throughout the project.
However, the second time, 11 out of 17 residents did not want curb and gutter. In addition, he
reported that 19 out of 36 residents did not want the project, but in his opinion the project is still
needed because of the poor condition of the street. The total project cost is estimated at $46,000 with
the estimated special assessments of approximately $900 per assessable lot or condominium unit.
Member Hovland asked if curb and gutter were intended to be installed on the entire south side; if
the condition of Eden Prairie Road were better or worse than other proposed project areas; what were
the consequences of installing short sections of curb and gutters; and how much erosion occurs
without curb and gutter. He also wanted a ballpark estimate of increased cost to install the curb and
gutter. Assistant Engineer Houle replied that curb and gutter was planned only to be installed on the
condos at 6105 and 6005 Eden Prairie Road. He said Eden Prairie Road is in about similar condition to
Skyline and Bedford. Consequences of installing short sections of curb and gutter are increased wear
and erosion on roadway edges. Engineer Hoffman said that without curb and gutter, erosion is
sigmfxant. Residents in this area did not want curb and gutter, however staff always believes it
should be installed. Assistant Engineer Houle said that adding curb and gutter would increase the
project cost approximately $3,000.
Public Comment
Page 10
Minutes/Edina Ciw Council/May 3,1999
Vay Stonebraker, 6105 Eden Prairie Road, said, he was surprised the City had not worked out a
method of budgeting this type of maintenance without special assessments. Mayor pro-tem
Maetzold informed him that road reconstruction is not something paid for via the City’s general tax
levy. Mi. Stonebraker said around 15-20 years ago a seal coating was done and that did a good job.
He drged that no reclamation be done, but instead the City seal coat and patch and try to get by for
another few years before going to the expense of reclaiming the street. Mr. Stonebraker also indicated
that he believed it was unfair to charge each condominium owner $900 when single family homes
were paying $900. Condos are then paying too high a percentage of the costs. He urged a more
equitable assessment formula be derived
Tammy Halverson 6008 Eden Prairie Road, acknowledged that the street needs to be redone. She
asked if after the reclamation will all the bumps be gone. Engineer Hoffman assured her that the
bumps would be gone after the project was complete.
Council Discussion/ Action
Member Kelly stated he supported the project and did not understand the issue of attempting to pay
this type of street project with general tax levy dollars. In fact, it would be more inequitable to pay on
a tax basis for street reconstruction. The special assessment is the most appropriate and fair. Member
Kelly thanked the staff for the good job in preparing and presenting the proposed projects.
Member Faust agreed with Member Kelly’s comments.
Member Hovland observed that the assessment methodology has been reviewed in the past and it
has been determined that the calculation methods used are most equitable. When the professional
staff tells the Council it is time to reclaim a street, then Member Hovland believes the Council must
trust their professional judgement. For these reasons he indicated that he supported the project. I
Mayor pro-tern Maetzold added that the Council had in the past spent a great deal of time reviewing
assessment policies. In addition, the policies are reviewed annually. He added his support for the
project.
Member Kelly made a motion introducing the following resolution and moving its adoption:

MinutesEdina City CounciVMav 3,1999
Planner Larsen reminded the Council the subject property is located at the westerly end of
Londonderry Drive. A Preliminary Plat was approved by the Council on February 16,1999. The plat
illustrated the development of two new lots to include the westerly extension and cul-de-sacing of
Londonderry Drive. Londonderry Drive presently ends in a temporary cul-de-sac serving the two
existing lots. He further reminded the Council, at that meeting, discussions were held regarding the
shape, size and location of the proposed cul-de-sac relative to the wetlands immediately south of the
proposed cul-de-sac. The Preliminary Plat was approved with a number of conditions, including: 1)
City Engineer approval of the cul-de-sac location; 2) that the relocated cul-de-sac not impact wetland
areas; 3) dedication of all lands outside proposed lots to the City; 4) staff approval of driveway
location to limit amount of fill in floodplain; 5) vacation of unused right-of-way; 6) Developer's
Agreement; 7) Final Plat Approval; and 8) Subdivision Dedication.
Planner Larsen presented a graphic depicting the revised final plat. Staff believes the proposed final
plat meets the conditions established when the Preliminary Plat was approved. The cul-de-sac has
been reduced in size from a radius of 35 feet to 30 feet creating a diameter of 60 feet as well as being
moved further north approximately 20 feet to avoid impacting the wetlands. He added that staff
recornmends Outlots A and B be dedicated to the City and that the City Engineer approve the
driveway locations and related fill.
Council comment
Member Faust inquired if the steep grade of the driveway that would be required on one of the lots
had been mitigate; with this revised-proposal, Planner Lirsen explained the bade of the driveway is
about the same, but the developer has been working with a variety of house designs. Member Faust
asked if staff had been contacted by the neighbor who voiced concern with his existing home being
surrounded by street. Planner Larsen explained Engineer Hoffman had spoken with that resident.
Member Hovland asked about the potential wetland disturbance in the area. He noted the packet
information included correspondence from the Nine-Mile Creek Watershed District requiring a bond.
Planner Larsen explained the proposal is close to the wetlands, but not in them. The watershed
approval did two things: 1) revised the plat moving the lots north, further from the wetlands; and 2)
required a bond and re-inspection guaranteeing the wetlands are not compromised by the
development. Member Hovland asked if the Engineering and Planning Departments approved of the
proposal. Planner Larsen answered, yes.
I
Mayor pro-tem Maetzold asked if Outlots A and B would remain in their natural state. Planner
Larsen said normally properties adjoining a water-body wetland are left in their natural condition.
Proponent comment
Jeffrey Gustafson, 13241 Holasek Lane, Eden Prairie, said he misspoke at the meeting of February 16,
1999, meeting explaining the maximum driveway grade allowed in Eden Prairie was 10% when it
actually is 12%. The grade, as proposed previously, was 12% but now is actually at 8%. At the time
the Preliminary Plat was approved, with eight conditions, Mr. Gustafson hired Park Engineering,
who has had direct contact with Planner Larsen and Engineer Hoffman, to fulfill those conditions.
Public comment
Russ Nelson said he and his wife are owners of the lot adjacent to Outlot B, said he walked the
subdivision recently and was encouraged. He urged the City to barricade the area off during
construction, thanked them as well for the proposed buffer, and stated he believed that the proposed
final plat is a reasonable compromise.

wetland as a means of protection during the building process.

ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REQUEST HEARD, ENGLISH ROSE SUITES, 609
BLAKE ROAD Mayor pro-tem Maetzold noted that his employer, National City Bank has a
relationship with Geralyn Mornson, owner of English Rose Suites. However, he added that after
consulting with the City Attorney, it had been determined that no conflict of interest existed.
Planner Larsen explained that Geralyn Mornson, owner of English Rose Suites had contacted the City
requesting she be allowed to increase the number of residents allowed at the residential facility on
609 Blake Road to eight residents. He said that staff informed Ms. Momon that Edina’s current code
and state law do not allow the increase.
Planner Larsen stated the Edina Zoning Code is silent on non-traditional residential occupancies in
the Single Dwelling District. It is pre-empted by state statute that defines what residential uses are
permitted in R-1 districts. Minnesota Statutes 462.357 subd. 7 states ”... a state licensed residential
facility or a housing with services establishment registered under chapter 144D serving six or fewer
perso ns... shall be considered a permitted single family use for the purposes of zoning ...” Planner
Larsen reported that English Rose Suites is registered with the state under chapter 144D as a housing
with services facility.
Planner Larsen added that subd. 8 of the same Statute says residential facilities serving between
seven and sixteen residential shall be considered a permitted multi-family use. This subdivision also
says that cities may allow residential facilities defined as permitted multi-family uses in a single
family dwelling district. Planner Larsen reported that staff believes the use could be allowed if the
City were to adopt a conditional use permit system. This is the request from Ms. Mornson of English
Rose Suites.
Planner Larsen outlined the issues Edina could encounter if a zoning amendment were adopted
dowing a Conditional Use Permit System:
The permit may not be limited to facilities registered under chapter 144D, but must also
include other state licensed residential facilities and licensed day care facilities;
The City may adopt a permit system and establish conditions ’I.. . in order to assure proper
maintenance and operation of a facilityJ provided that no conditions shall be imposed on
the facility which are more restrictive than those imposed on other conditional uses or
special uses in the same zones.. .”;
I
Page 14
MinutesEdha City Counciway 3,1999
I
I
I
All properties zoned R-1 would be eligible to apply for such permits;
Edina’s policy has been to adhere strictly to the standards provided in State law, and not
to adopt a Conditional Use Permit system, believing that policy to be more fair to
operators of residential facilities and neighbors as well.
Planner Larsen introduced Geralyn Mornson, English Rose Suites owner, 609 Blake Road. Ms.
Mornson referred to a letter dated April 26,1999, and a video tape she sent to each Member of the
City Council. Ms. Mornson urged the Council to consider amending the City’s zoning code to allow
her to house eight residents at her location on Blake Road. She pointed out her exemplary record and
the physical location which is large enough to unobtrusively house additional residents. She also
asked what process one would follow to request that 609 Blake Road be rezoned Multi-family. Mayor
pro-tem Maetzold acknowledged that the Council ail received Ms. Mornson’s letter; enclosures
(surrounding cities’ regulations, neighborhood map, and neighborhood endorsements), and English
Rose Suites’ video tape. He explained Ms. Mornson could request rezoning of 609 Blake Road, then
the Planning Commission would review the case and make a recommendation to the City Council
who would have final determination.
The Council briefly discussed the request noting that English Rose Suites was a wonderful facility
providing a very needed service. Concerns were expressed; 1) regarding the difficulty of developing
equitable standards if a conditional use process were established for residential service facilities; 2)
Edina’s commitment to maintaining residential quality of neighborhoods; 3) issues posed by
increasing density in neighborhoods from a residential service facility; and 4) inability to distinguish
one residential service from another (i.e. Alzheimer patient versus juvenile care center). It was
suggested that perhaps another location be investigated within the multi-family dwelling district
where a service facility may have more residents in one facility. The Council informed Ms. Mornson
that no action would be taken at this time.

RESOLUTION RELATING TO $3,270,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION
REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 1999B; AWARDING THE SALE, FIXING
THE FORM AND DETAILS AND PROVIDING FOR THE EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY THEREOF AND SECURITY THEREFOR
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Edina,
Section 1. Recitals, Authorization and Sale of Bonds.
1.01. Authorization and Outstanding Bonds. The City has presently outstanding its
General Obligation Recreational Facility Bonds, Series 1992A, initially dated as of November 1,
1992 (the "Prior Bonds"). This Council, by a resolution adopted on April 5,1999, authorized the
sale of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 1999B (the "Bonds"), of the City, the proceeds
of which would be used, together with any additional funds of the Issuer which might be
required, to refund in advance of maturity the Prior Bonds maturing in the years 2003 through
2013 which aggregate $3,215,000 in principal amount (the "Refunded Bonds"). Said refunding
constitutes a "crossover refunding" as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.17, subd. 13.
The Prior Bonds were issued pursuant to Minnesota Laws 1961, Chapter 655 (the "Act") and
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475 to finance the acquisition and betterment of certain
improvements to the municipal recreational facilities of the City. The Bonds shall be payable
primarily out of the net revenues (the "Net Revenues") to be derived from the municipal golf
courses and facilities, ice arena, swimming pool and liquor stores of the City. There is currently
payable out of all or a portion of the Net Revenues, the Prior Bonds and the General Obligation
Recreational Facility Refunding Bonds, Series 1992C (the "1992C Bonds") of the City.
1.02. FindinEs. - It is hereby found, determined and declared that the Net Revenues
in the fiscal year ended December 31,1998 totaled in excess of $5579,277, which amount exceeds
the maximum amount of principal and interest to become due in any future fiscal year on the
Bonds, the Prior Bonds and the 1992C Bonds, as adjusted to reflect the redemption of the
Refunded Bonds from the proceeds of the Bonds and the payment of interest on the Bonds from
proceeds of the Bonds until applied to refund the Refunded Bonds. It is hereby determined that
the estimated Net Revenues will be sufficient, together with the other sources pledged to the
payment thereof, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the Prior Bonds and the 1992C
Bonds when due.
1.03. Sale of Bonds. The City has retained Springsted Incorporated, an independent
financial advisor, to assist the City in connection with the sale of the Bonds. The Bonds are being
sold pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.60, Subdivision 5 paragraph (9), without meeting
the requirements for public sale under Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.60, Subdivision 1.
Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of Sale for the Bonds, nine (9) proposals for the purchase of
the Bonds were received at or before the time specified for receipt of proposals. The proposals
have been publicly read and considered, and the purchase price, interest rates and net interest cost
under the terms of each proposal have been determined. The most favorable proposal received is
that of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc., of Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "Purchaser"), to purchase
the Bonds at a price of $3,264,322.89, the Bonds to bear interest at the rates set forth in Section 3.01.
The proposal is hereby accepted, and the Mayor and the City Manager are hereby authorized and
directed to execute a contract on the part of the City for the sale of the Bonds with the Purchaser.
The good faith checks of the unsuccessful bidders shall be returned forthwith.
Minnesota (the "City"), as follows:

redemption.
At least thirty days prior to the date set for redemption of any Bond, notice of the
call for redemption will be mailed to the Bond Registrar and to the registered owner of each Bond
to be redeemed at his address appearing in the Bond Register, but no defect in or failure to give
such mailed notice of redemption shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of

subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with respect
to such transfer or exchange.
The City and the Bond Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this
Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Bond
Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts,
conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done,
to exist, to happen and to be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond in order to

its refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or
unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute owner
of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on such Bond and for all other
purposes, and all such payments so made to any such registered owner or upon the owner's
order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability of the City upon

been called for redemption in accordance with its terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a
new Bond prior to payment.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints the City Finance
Director, as the initial Registrar. In the event that the City determines to discontinue the book
entry-only system for the Bonds as described in paragraph (c) of Section 3.07, or DTC, as defined

new securities depository is not appointed for the Bonds, the City will designate a suitable bank
or trust company to act as successor Registrar if the City Finance Director is then acting as
Registrar. The City reserves the right to remove any Registrar upon thirty (30) days' notice and

deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar.

hereby authorized and directed, simultaneously with the delivery of the Bonds, to deposit the
proceeds of the Bonds in the Escrow Account, in escrow with U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc., in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, a banking institution whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and whose combined capital and surplus is not less than $500,000, and
shall invest the funds so deposited in securities authorized for such purpose by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.67, subdivision 8, maturing on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as
are required to provide funds sufficient, with cash retained in the escrow account, to malce the
above-described payments. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized to enter into an
escrow agreement with said Bank establishing the terms and conditions for the escrow account in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67. The remaining proceeds of the Bonds shall be
applied to pay issuance expenses and any amounts not used for such purpose shall be deposited in
the 1999B Refunding Bond Fund referred to Section 4.05 hereof.
4.02. 1999 Utilities Bond Fund. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and any
principal of or interest thereon unpaid, the City Finance Director shall maintain on its books and
records a separate and special bookkeeping fund designated "1999B Refunding Bond Fund" (the
"Bond Fund") to be used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds. The City hereby appropriates to the Bond Fund the accrued interest on the Bonds any
amounts transferred to the Bond Fund pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof. The City Finance Director
shall deposit in the Bond Fund the proceeds of all taxes levied and all other money which may at
any time be received for or appropriated to the payment of such bonds and interest, including the
Net Revenues herein pledged and appropriated to the Bond Fund, all collections of any ad
valorem taxes levied for the payment of the Bonds, and all other moneys received for or
appropriated to the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon. On January 1,2002 there shall be
credited from Net Revenues an amount equal to the average annual amount of principal and
interest to come due on the Bond to a separate account in the Bond Fund as a reserve for the Bonds
as required by the Act, which amount equals the average amount of principal and interest to
become due on the Bonds and is required to be deposited therein pursuant to the Act.
4.03. Pledge of Net Revenues. The Net Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged
and appropriated to the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon when due and the maintenance
of the reserve account required by the Act. The pledge of the Net Revenues to the payment of the
Bonds and maintenance of the reserve account is subordinate to the pledge of the Net Revenues to
the payment of the Prior Bonds and on a parity with the pledge of such net revenues to the
payment of the 1992C Bonds. Nothing herein shall preclude the City from hereafter making
further pledges and appropriations of the Net Revenues for payment of additional obligations of
the City hereafter authorized if the Council determines before the authorization of such additional
obligations that the estimated Net Revenues will be sufficient, together with any other sources
pledged to the payment of the outstanding and additional obligations, for payment of the
outstanding bonds and such additional obligations. Such further pledges and appropriations of
Net Revenues may be made superior or subordinate to, or on a parity with, the pledge and
appropriation herein made.
4.04. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit of the City are
irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and the interest on the
Bonds, as such principal and interest comes due. If the money on hand in the Bond Fund should
at any time be insufficient for the payment of principal and interest then due, this City shall pay
the principal and interest out of any fund of the City, and such other fund or funds shall be
reimbursed therefor when sufficient money is available to the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any
year the sum of the balance in the Bond Fund plus the available Net Revenues on hand and
estimated to be received or before the end of the following calendar year is not sufficient with any
ad valorem taxes heretofore levied in accordance with the provisions of this resolution, to pay
I
I
Page 25
MinutesBdina CiW Council/Mav 3,1999
when due all principal and interest become due on all Bonds payable therefrom in said following
calendar year, or the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in the manner provided in this Section
4.04, a direct, irrepealable, ad valorem tax shall be levied on all taxable property within the
corporate limits of the City for the purpose of restoring such accumulated or anticipated
deficiency in an amount at least 5% in excess of amount needed to make good the deficiency.
Section 5. Defeasance. When any Bond has been discharged as provided in this
Section 5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of such
Bonds shall cease, and such Bonds shall no longer be deemed outstanding under this Resolution.
The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bond which is due on any date by
irrevocably depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, the City may nevertheless discharge
its obligations with respect thereto by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also at any
time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or
hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank
qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by
law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on
such dates as shall be required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal and interest to become
due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for,
to such earlier redemption date.
Section 6. County Auditor Renistration, Certification of Proceedings, Investment of
Monev, Arbitrane, Official Statement and Fees.
6.01. Countv Auditor Renistration. The City Manager is hereby authorized and
directed to file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County,
together with such other information as the County Auditor shall require, and to obtain from said
County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond register as required by
law.
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. - The officers of the City and the County Auditor
of Hennepin County are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser
and to Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel to the City, certified copies of all proceedings and
records of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be required to
show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the
books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such
certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed
representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time
of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents
any action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and Regulations promulgated
thereunder (the Regulations), as such are enacted or promulgated and in effect on the date of issue
of the Bonds, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the
interest on the Bonds will not become subject to taxation under such Code and Regulations. The
improvements financed by the Prior Bonds are public recreational facilities available for use by
members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The City will not enter into any
lease, use agreement or other contract respecting the improvements financed by the Prior Bonds or
security for the payment of the Bonds which would cause the Bonds to be considered "private
activity bonds" or "private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
6.04. Arbitrage Rebate. The City shall take such actions as are required to comply
with the arbitrage rebate requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of Section 1480 of the Code.

6.05. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and the City Manager, being the officers
of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certification in accordance with
the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and the Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it
reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause
the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
6.06. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated April
21,1999, prepared and distributed on behalf of the City by Springsted Incorporated, is hereby
approved. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on behalf of the City to prepare and
distribute to the Purchaser a supplement to the Official Statement listing the offering price, the
interest rates, selling compensation, delivery date, the underwriters and such other information
relating to the Certificates required to be included in the Official Statement by Rule 15c2-12
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Within seven business days from the date hereof, the City shall deliver to the Purchaser a
reasonable number of copies of the Official Statement and such supplement. The officers of the
City are hereby authorized and directed to execute such certificates as may be appropriate
concerning the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of the Official Statement.
Section 7. Continuing Disclosure.
(a) Purpose - and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public availability of certain
information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit the original purchaser

amendments to Rule 15~2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. Q 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing
disclosure (as in effect and interpreted from time to time, the "Rule"), which will enhance the
marketability of the Bonds, the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the
benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The
City is the only "obligated person" in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for

aggrieved thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at
law or in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of
any agreement or covenant contained in this Section 7, including an action for a writ of mandamus
or specific performance. Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be
recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a default under this Section 7 constitute a
default under the Bonds or under any other provision of this resolution.
As used in this Section 7, "Owner" or "Bondowner" means, in respect of a Bond, the
registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register maintained by the Registrar or
any "Beneficial Owner" (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner provides to the
Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Registrar. As used herein, "Beneficial Owner" means, in respect of a Bond, any person or
entity which (i) has the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to
dispose of ownership of, such Bond (including persons or entities holding Bonds through
nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (b) is treated as the owner of the Bond for
federal income tax purposes. As used herein, "Outstanding" when used as of any particular time
with reference to Bonds means all Bonds theretofore, or thereupon being, authenticated and
delivered by the Registrar under this Resolution except (i) Bonds theretofore canceled by the
Registrar or surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation; (ii) Bonds with respect to which the

unauthorized.

be given to the City. If the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond has already matured or
been called for redemption in accordance with its terms, it shaII not be necessary to issue a
new Bond prior to payment.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints the City Finance
Director, as the initial Registrar. In the event that the City determines to discontinue the book

cause notice of the call for redemption to be mailed to the Registrar and to the registered owner of
each Bond to be redeemed, but no defect in or failure to give such mailed notice of redemption

numbers, interest rates and CUSIP numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed and the place at which
the Bonds are to be surrendered for payment, which is the principal office of the Registrar.
Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions thereof so to
be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price
therein specified and from and after such date (unless the City shall defauIt in the payment of the
redemption price) such Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest.

the City Manager and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and

facsimiles thereof. In case any officer whose signature, or a facsimile of whose signature, shall
appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature
or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer
had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and
until a certificate of authentication on such Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature
of the Registrar, or in the event the City Finance Director is no longer acting as Registrar, an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need
not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on each Bond
shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution.
When the Bonds have been so executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered by the City
Manager to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of
sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the

nominee of DTC with respect to the Bonds.

bonds, and one Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds.

name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the City may treat DTC (or its
nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of
payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be
redeemed, if any, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of
Bonds under this resolution, registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes
whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the Registrar nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant,
any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any
Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond register as being a registered
owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any
Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to
the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required

MinutesEdha City CounciVMav 3,1999
Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or
with respect to any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds.
So long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar
shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to such
Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with the Representation Letter, and all such payments
shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other
than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the
obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the
Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance with
paragraph (d) hereof.
(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may notify
DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through
DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in
accordance with paragraph (d) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services
with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and
discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the
Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (d) hereof.
In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under
paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the
Registrar of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to
the permitted transferee in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. In the event Bonds
in the form of certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for
DTC as owner of all the Bonds, or another securities depository as owner of all the Bonds, the
provisions of this resolution shall also apply to all matters relating thereto, including, without
limitation, the printing of such Bonds in the form of bond certificates and the method of payment
of principal of and interest on such Bonds in the form of bond certificates.

Section 4. Securitv Provisions.
4.01. 1999 Utilities Construction Fund. There is hereby rreated a special
bookkeeping fund to be designated as the "1999 Utilities Construction Fund" (the "Construction
Fund"), to be held and administered by the City Finance Director separate and apart from all other
funds of the City. The City appropriates to the Construction Fund $3,564,000 of the proceeds of the
sale of the Bonds. The Construction Fund shall be used solely to defray expenses of the
Improvements, including but not limited to the transfer to the Bond Fund, created in Section 4.02
hereof, of amounts sufficient for the payment of interest, due upon the Bonds prior to the
completion of the Improvements and the payment of the expenses incurred by the City in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Upon completion and payment of all costs of the
Improvements, any balance of the proceeds of Bonds remaining in the Construction Fund may be
used to pay the cost, in whole or in part, of any other improvements to the Utilities, as directed by
the City Council, but any balance of such proceeds not so used shall be credited and paid to the
Bond Fund.
4.02. 1999 Utilities Bond Fund. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and any
principal of or interest thereon unpaid, the City Finance Director shall maintain on its books and
records a separate and special bookkeeping fund designated "1999 Utilities Bond Fund" (the
"Bond Fund") to be used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds and any additional obligations of the City payable therefrom pursuant to Section 4.03
hereof. If the balance in the Bond Fund is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then
Page 38
MinutesBdina Ciw Councimav 3,1999
due on bonds payable therefrom, the City Finance Director shall nevertheless provide sufficient
money from any other funds of the City which are available for that purpose, and such other
funds shall be reimbursed from subsequent receipts of net revenues of the Utilities appropriated
to the Bond Fund and, if necessary, from the proceeds of the taxes levied for the Bond Fund. The
City hereby appropriates to the Bond Fund the accrued interest on the Bonds and any amount in
excess of $3,564,000 received from the Purchaser upon delivery of the Bonds and any amounts
transferred to the Bond Fund pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof. The City Finance Director shall
deposit in the Bond Fund the proceeds of all taxes levied and all other money which may at any
time be received for or appropriated to the payment of such bonds and interest, including the net
revenues of the Utilities herein pledged and appropriated to the Bond Fund, all collections of any
ad valorem taxes levied for the payment of the Bonds, and all other moneys received for or
appropriated to the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon.
There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the
"Debt Service Account" and the "Surplus Account." All money appropriated or to be deposited in
the Bond Fund shall be deposited as received into the Debt Service Account. On each February 1,
the City Finance Director shall determine the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account. If
such amount is in excess of one-twelfth of the debt service payable from the Bond Fund in the
immediately preceding 12 months, the City Finance Director shall promptly transfer the amount in
excess to the Surplus Account. The City appropriates to the Surplus Account any amounts to be
transferred thereto from the Debt Service Account as herein provided and all income derived from
the investment of amounts on hand in the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on hand in
the Debt Service Account is insufficient to meet the requirements of the Bond Fund, the City
Finance Director shall transfer to the Debt Service Account amounts on hand in the Surplus
Account to the extent necessary to cure such deficiency.
4.03. Imposition of Charges; - Additional Bonds. The City hereby covenants and
agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds are
outstanding, the City will impose and collect reasonable charges for the service, use and
availability of the Utilities to the City and its inhabitants according to schedules calculated to
produce net revenues which, will be sufficient to pay all principal and interest when due on the
Bonds and all other obligations payable from the net revenues of the Utilities. Seventy-Wo
percent (72%) of the principal and interest due on the Bonds shall be paid from the net revenues of
the Sewer and Water Utility, and the remaining twenty-eight percent (28%) of the principal and
interest due on the Bonds shall be paid from the net revenues of the Storm Water Utility. Net
revenues of the Sewer and Water Utility, to the extent necessary, are hereby irrevocably pledged
and appropriated to the payment of seventy-two percent (72%) of the principal of the Bonds and
interest thereon, and net revenues of the Storm Water Utility, to the extent necessary, are hereby
irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the payment of twenty-eight percent (28%) of the
principal of the Bonds and interest thereon; provided that nothing herein shall preclude the City
from hereafter making further pledges and appropriations of net revenues of the Sewer and Water
Utility or Storm Water Utility for the payment of additional obligations of the City hereafter
authorized if the City Council determines before the authorization of such additional obligations
that the estimated net revenues of the Utilities will be sufficient, together with any other sources
pledged to or projected to be used, for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds
and paid therefrom and such additional obligations. Such further pledges and appropriations of
said net revenues may be made superior or subordinate to or on a parity with the pledge and
appropriation herein made, as to the application of net revenues received from time to time.
The full faith and credit of the City are
irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and the interest on the
Bonds and any other obligations payable from the Bond Fund, as such principal and interest
I
4.04. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. - I
Page 39
Minutes/Edina City CounciVMay 3,1999
I comes due. If the money on hand in the Bond Fund should at any time be insufficient for the
payment of principal and interest then due, this City shall pay the principal and interest out of
any fund of the City, and such other fund or funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient
money is available to the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any year the sum of the balance in the
Bond Fund plus the available net revenues of the Utilities on hand and estimated to be received or
before the end of the following calendar year is not sufficient with any ad valorem taxes
heretofore levied in accordance with the provisions of this resolution, to pay when due all
principal and interest become due on all Bonds payable therefrom in said following calendar year,
or the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in the manner provided in this Section 4.04, a direct,
irrepealable, ad valorem tax shall be levied on all taxable property within the corporate limits of
the City for the purpose of restoring such accumulated or anticipated deficiency in an amount at
least 5% in excess of amount needed to make good the deficiency.
Section 5. Defeasance. When any Bond has been discharged as provided in this
Section 5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of such
Bonds shall cease, and such Bonds shall no longer be deemed outstanding under this Resolution.
The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bond which is due on any date by
irrevocably depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, the City may nevertheless discharge
its obligations with respect thereto by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also at any
time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or
hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank
qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by
law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on
such dates as shall be required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal and interest to become
due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for,
to such earlier redemption date.
Section 6. Countv Auditor Registration, Certification of Proceedings, Investment of
Money, Arbitrage, - Official Statement and Fees.
6.01. Countv Auditor Regstration. The City Manager is hereby authorized and
directed to file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County,
together with such other information as the County Auditor shall require, and to obtain from said
County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond register as required by
law.
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. - The officers of the City and the County Auditor
of Hennepin County are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser
and to Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel to the City, certified copies of all proceedings and
records of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be required to
show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the
books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such
certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed
representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time
of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents
any action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and Regulations promulgated
thereunder (the Regulations), as such are enacted or promulgated and in effect on the date of issue
of the Bonds, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the
interest on the Bonds will not become subject to taxation under such Code and Regulations. The

Improvements are public improvements available for use by members of the general public on a
substantially equal basis. The City will not enter into any lease, use agreement or other contract
respecting the Improvements or security for the payment of the Bonds which would cause the
Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of
the Code.
6.04. Arbitrane Rebate. The City shall take such actions as are required to comply
with the arbitrage rebate requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of Section 148(f) of the Code.
6.05. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and the City Manager, being the officers
of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certification in accordance with
the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and the Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it
reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause
the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
6.06. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated April
21, 1999, prepared and distributed on behalf of the City by Springsted Incorporated, is hereby
approved. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on behalf of the City to prepare and
distribute to the Purchaser a supplement to the Official Statement listing the offering price, the
interest rates, selling compensation, delivery date, the underwriters and such other information
relating to the Certificates required to be included in the Official Statement by Rule 15c2-12
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Within seven business days from the date hereof, the City shall deliver to the Purchaser a
reasonable number of copies of the Official Statement and such supplement. The officers of the
City are hereby authorized and directed to execute such certificates as may be appropriate
concerning the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of the Official Statement.

Section 7. Continuing; Disclosure.
(a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public availability of certain
information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit the original purchaser
and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to comply with
amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. 9 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing
disclosure (as in effect and interpreted from time to time, the "Rule"), which will enhance the
marketability of the Bonds, the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the
benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The
City is the only "obligated person" in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for
purposes of identifying the entities in respect of which continuing disclosure must be made.
If the City fails to comply with any provisions of this Section 7, any person
aggrieved thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at
law or in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of
any agreement or covenant contained in this Section 7, including an action for a writ of mandamus
or specific performance. Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be
recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a default under this Section 7 constitute a
default under the Bonds or under any other provision of this resolution.
As used in this Section 7, "Owner'' or "Bondowner" means, in respect of a Bond, the
registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register maintained by the Registrar or
any "Beneficial Owner" (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner provides to the
Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Registrar. As used herein, "Beneficial Owner" means, in respect of a Bond, any person or
I

I entity which (i) has the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to
dispose of ownership of, such Bond (including persons or entities holding Bonds through
nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (b) is treated as the owner of the Bond for
federal income tax purposes. As used herein, "Outstanding" when used as of any pdcular time
with reference to Bonds means all Bonds theretofore, or thereupon being, authenticated and
delivered by the Registrar under this Resolution except (i) Bonds theretofore canceled by the
Registrar or surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation; (ii) Bonds with respect to which the
liability of the City has been discharged in accordance with Section 5 hereof; and (iii) Bonds for
the transfer or exchange or in lieu of or in substitution for which other Bonds shall have been
authenticated and delivered by the Registrar pursuant to this Resolution.
(b) Information To Be Disclosed. The City will provide, in the manner set forth in
subsection (c) hereof, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the City, the

then ended, showing in comparative form such figures for the preceding fiscal year
of the City, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board as modified in
accordance with the governmental accounting standards promulgated by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board or as otherwise provided under
Minnesota law, as in effect from time to time, or, if and to the extent such financial
statements have not been prepared in accordance with such generally accepted
accounting principles for reasons beyond the reasonable control of the City, noting
the discrepancies therefrom and the effect thereof, and certified as to accuracy and
completeness in all material respects by the fiscal officer of the City; and
(B) To the extent not included in the financial statements referred to in
paragraph (A) hereof, the information for such fiscal year or for the period most
recently available of the type set forth below, which information may be unaudited,
but is to be certified as to accuracy and completeness in all material respects by the
City's financial officer to the best of his or her knowledge, which certification may
be based on the reliability of information obtained from governmental or third
party sources:
Most recent population estimate; City Property Values; City
Indebtedness; City Tax Rates; Levies and Collections; and Current
General Fund Budget
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the audited financial statements are
not available by the date specified, the City shall provide on or before such date unaudited
financial statements in the format required for the audited financial statements as part of the
Disclosure Information and, within 10 days after the receipt thereof, the City shall provide the
audited financial statements.

the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The City shall clearly identify in the Disclosure
Information each document so incorporated by reference.

operations of the City have materially changed or been discontinued, such Disclosure Information
need no longer be provided if the City includes in the Disclosure Information a statement to such
effect; provided, however, if such operations have been replaced by other City operations in
respect of which data is not included in the Disclosure Information and the City determines that
certain specified data regarding such replacement operations would be a Material Fact (as defined
in paragraph (2) hereof), then, from and after such determination, the Disclosure Information shall
include such additional specified data regarding the replacement operations.
If the Disclosure Information is changed or this Section 7 is amended as permitted
by this paragraph (b)(l) or subsection (d), then the City shall include in the next Disclosure
Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an explanation of the reasons for

reasonably prudent investor would attach importance thereto in deciding to buy, hold or sell a
Bond or, if not disclosed, would significantly alter the total information otherwise available to an
investor from the Official Statement, information disclosed hereunder or information generally
available to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a "Material Fact" is also an event
that would be deemed "material" for purposes of the purchase, holding or sale of a Bond within
the meaning of applicable federal securities laws, as interpreted at the time of discovery of the
occurrence of the event.
In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions:

subsection (b) to the following entities by telecopy, overnight delivery, mail or other means, as
appropriate:
(I) the information described in paragraph (1) of subsection (b), to each then nationally
recognized municipal securities information repository under the Rule and to any state
information depository then designated or operated by the State of Minnesota as contemplated by
the Rule (the "State Depository"), if any;
(2) the information described in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (b), to the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board and to the State Depository, if any; and

rating of the Bonds and, at the expense of such Bondowner, to any Bondowner who requests in
writing such information, at the time of transmission under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this subsection
(c), as the case may be, or, if such information is transmitted with a subsequent time of release, at
the time such information is to be released.
(d) Term; Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the City in this Section 7 shall remain in effect so long as any Bonds
are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations of the City
under this Section 7 shall terminate and be without further effect as of any date on which the City
delivers to the Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, because of legislative
action or final judicial or administrative actions or proceedings, the failure of the City to comply
with the requirements of this Section 7 will not cause participating underwriters in the primary
offering of the Bonds to be in violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or
amendatory thereof.
(2) This Section 7 (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information) may be
amended or supplemented by the City from time to time, without notice to (except as provided in
paragraph (c)(3) hereof) or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds, by a resolution of the City
Council filed in the office of the City Clerk of the City accompanied by an opinion of Bond
Counsel, who may rely on certificates of the City and others and the opinion may be subject to
customary qualifications, to the effect thak (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in
connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a
change in the identity, nature or status of the City or the type of operations conducted by the City,
or (b) is required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule; (ii)
this Section 7 as so amended or supplemented would have complied with the requirements of
paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any
change in circumstances applicable under clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and
interpreted at the time of the amendment or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary
offering; and (iii) such amendment or supplement does not materially impair the interests of the
Bondowners under the Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the City agrees to provide,
contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, an explanation of the reasons for
the amendment and the effect, if any, of the change in the type of financial information or
operating data being provided hereunder.
(3) This Section 7 is entered into to comply with the continuing disclosure provisions of
the Rule and should be construed so as to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule.
