ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Members Faust, Hovland, and Mayor Maetzold. Member Kelly entered the meeting at 5:15 p.m. Member Johnson entered the meeting at 5:55 p.m. Mayor Maetzold stated the purpose of the special meeting was to hold a public hearing on the proposed referendum for the potential joint park improvement with the School District. Mayor Maetzold explained that about two years ago, the City had been approached by various constituents requesting additional gymnasiums, fields, and swimming pools. The City Council studied the requests and considered options available. One option suggested was to build on school property. This concept was studied with the School District and seemed viable bringing the City to the point of considering a referendum. Mayor Maetzold stated the format for the meeting would be short presentations by Park Director Keprios, Peter Seeger, TSP Architects, and Edina School Superintendent Ken Dragseth, followed by public comment. He said the meeting would end at 6:45 p.m. The Council will take the comments under advisement and if it decides to move forward the referendum will be placed on the ballot in the fall. Park Director Keprios reviewed several identified community needs as follows: ADDITIONAL GYMNASIUMS ♦ City- Sponsored Gymnasium User Groups • Girls House League Basketball • Girls Traveling Basketball • Boys House League Basketball • Boys Traveling Basketball • EGAA Volleyball • Jr. Olympic Volleyball • Youth Soccer • Edina Hockey Association (Dry Land Training) • Adult Basketball • Adult Volleyball • Open Gym Time (General Public) • Walkers, Joggers & Runners (Elevated Indoor Track) ♦ Additional Gymnasium Time - From a Study One Year Ago • Current Weekly Use - 209 Hours • Total Desired Use Per Week - 304 Hours • Shortage Of 95 Hours Per Week • Need For Minimum Of 4 Full-Size Gyms ♦ Why 3 Gyms At ECC? • More gyms under one roof and at one site is more desirable for tournaments and rentals • Creates more flexibility of uses (soccer, elevated running track, baseball etc.). • Three gyms under one roof is more efficient to operate and more economical to construct ♦ Location Of Gyms - Why At Schools? • Maximize use, available for School & City • The Edina School District could provide management of the facilities Page 1 Minutes /Special Edina Ci!y Council/May 16, 2000 • The costs to operate and maintain are incremental additions due to existing staff, facilities and plant operation equipment already on site • No additional land costs ♦ Without Additional Gymnasium Space? • Enlarge teams - increase team size • Double up traveling team practices • More play on weekends (Friday, Saturday & Sunday - overtime costs) • More late evening play (games & practices until 10:00 p.m. weekdays) • Cut back or eliminate adult programs (adult basketball & volleyball) • Eliminate other desired sport opportunities, such as, soccer, hockey, baseball, softball • Eliminate opportunity to expand existing programs • Eliminate opportunity to create new additional programs ADDITIONAL ATHLETIC FIELDS FOR SOCCER, FOOTBALL, RUGBY, LACROSSE AND SOFTBALL ♦ Additional Soccer/ Football Field Time • Over 3,500 Edina youth enrolled in soccer and growing • ESA currently limits registration (not enough fields) • Growing interest in adult soccer, rugby, and lacrosse • Slow pitch & fast pitch softball teams need more practice and game fields ♦ Proposed Additional Fields • Kuhlman Field (artificial turf soccer field) • Lewis Park (soccer field) • Pamela Park (soccer field) • Edina High School (2 softball fields) ♦ Without Additional Soccer /Football Fields? • ESA further limit registrations (first come first served) • Increase team size (less play time per child) • Further reduce or eliminate adult soccer • Limit growth of lacrosse and rugby • More soccer play on weekends and late evenings RENOVATION OF SHARED ATHLETIC FIELDS FOR SOCCER, FOOTBALL, LACROSSE AND RUGBY ♦ Why Field Renovation? • Fields are worn to an unsafe condition • Fields are over -used (spring -fall) • Poor sub -soils at several fields (can be corrected with stabilization fabric & fill) • Parks filled with debris that surfaces and become safety hazards • Worn turf and shallow root systems • Need for irrigation system ♦ Renovated Soccer/ Football Fields • 2 Fields at High School Campus • Artificial turf Kuhlman Field at Community Center Campus Lewis Park - 2 soccer fields Highlands Park - soccer field Braemar soccer field DOME - INFLATED DOME INSTALLED IN NOVEMBER/REMOVED IN MARCH ANUALLY ♦ Why A Dome?

He added the Campus Plan he developed was a concept plan only, illustrating how the components might be, arranged on the campus. Mr. Seeger reiterated that it was. not the final design, but only a test to develop estimated costs of such improvements: Mr. Seeger explained the components identified in the pre - design study located at the Edina Community Center included the following: • Renovation of Kuhlman Field with new bleachers, entrance gates, ticket booths, concessions and possibly.a seasonal dome • Parking Improvement adding 130 additional parking spaces both northerly and southerly • Upgrade and move soccer and ball fields • Tennis courts bang boards • Pathway from the lower parking area to the center of the campus • Upgrade ball and soccer fields at Edina High School • Valley View Middle School 25 meter pool addition • New 3 -gym field house south of ECC • Addition to Concord Elementary School (2 level) one gym with shell below • Renovate South View Middle School gyms • Renovate ECC gyms • Renovate support facilities, locker room - for both Edina PE and Edina Park & Rec • Renovate ECC lobby east side - upper and lower levels - manage accessibility • Renovate ECC theater - addressing access issues Mr. Seeger reviewed the estimated. project costs as follows: PROOSED REFERENDUM PROJECTS 3 -Gym Fieldhouse $5,092,337 31% 3 -Gym Fieldhouse $3,900,737 Elevated Track $930,600 All Wood Floors $36,000 Air Conditioning $225,000 Concord Elementary Gym Addition $1,522,800 9% South View Middle School Gym Improvements $244,400 1 % Community.

He emphasized that the design was a concept used to develop preliminary cost estimates. Ken Dragseth, Edina School Superintendent, said the schools are already operating between 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. and at capacity. He reported that when the City approached the schools'looking for more space, the schools indicated a willingness to work together, but a lack of available space for additional programs. The Schools and City formed a committee to study the community needs and options to meet them utilizing school and city resources. In addition, the district reviewed how potential improvements could impact existing facilities within the system. Mr. Dragseth said the ECC is a high priority to the school district, and potential impacts have been discussed internally with the Board, and with the Normandale organizations. He pointed out that everything is at this point very preliminary and the issues will be resolved. The French Immersion School serves 500 plus students and due to its growth there has been constant remodeling during the life of the school. When the Community Center was set up in 1982, the idea was for the community to have a building that would be flexible in its use. Many districts sold this type of building, but Edina Schools kept the building and site as a major resource to the community. He pointed out the building's heating plant can support the proposed additions, the District already has administrative and custodial staff on site to manage the facility. These are reasons this site seems viable for the proposed improvement. Mr. Dragseth stated the District will continue to work with the site council to resolve the issues expressed by the parents. Mr. Dragseth explained the District entered into discussion for the proposed referendum project working to maximize land use while meeting needs of the community. He said other locations for the three gyms were reviewed. However, staff is already on site at the ECC, minimizing additional operational staff needed. Mr. Dragseth reported that nationally the trends are for school districts and communities to partner in serving their citizens needs. He added that the District enrollment is currently approximately 7,000 and will remain relatively stable so the needs of the community's youth is here and needs to be addressed. Public Comment Richard Novack, 5202 Grandview Lane, stated he was on the French Immersion School's Site Council, but was speaking personally. Mr. Novack reported .Normandale Parents were initially Page 6 Minutes /Special Edina City Council/May 16, 2000 shocked that a project was proposed for the Community Center site. He indicated a desire to work with the City and School District to trying to make the ECC usable for Normandale French Immersion School and the proposed facilities, if the parent concerns can be met. The site council came up with some solutions such as protecting the school in a contiguous environment. This would require moving approximately seven classrooms. He suggested putting the school in its own area of the building, away from other users. This would eliminate access to the school. On a personal note Mr. Novack said he supported the project, but noted that the soccer community was not particularly represented on the planning group. He would like to see if a soccer complex could be added to the project. Mr. Novack also supported building a dome over Kuhlman Field, stating Edina parents and businesses are paying a great deal of money to both Eden Prairie and Holy Angels for space in their domes. He said that with _ over half of Edina's children playing soccer, additional fields must-be considered. Mr. Novack said that 2000 children play soccer in the fall, the sport is growing very rapidly and lacrosse is also growing. Both sports can be played on the same field. Jim Kakalios, 6825 West Shore Drive, stated he had three children at Normandale School. He reported that construction has been going on for eight years. His children have been in classrooms near the auditorium and been impacted by the construction. Mr. Kakalios held up earplugs, that he said are handed out by a teacher to block out noise from construction now. The Normandale School is one of the largest elementary schools in the district. He is concerned about safety, traffic, and health. Mr. Kakalios said he was upset that the planning has been going on for over a year and only now the project has been made public, given that the Normandale site is where the construction will be occurring. He stated that he had a petition with 168 signatures requesting the School and City, before any referendum, engage a firm with elementary school planning experience to conduct an independent comprehensive internal and external environmental impact evaluation of the community center project. Areas to be addressed include parking, traffic, safety, security and health. Mr. Kakalios added that while athletics are nice and gyms are good, swimming pools and concessions are nice, children are in school for academics. As a professor at the University of Minnesota he would like to see students better prepared when they show up for college. Karen Christiansen, 5721 Blake Road, explained she had a background in nursing and that her husband is a pediatric specialist. Ms. Christiansen said they have four children in the Edina School Systems. When they first learned of the potential 3 -gym addition to the ECC they were concerned because of dangers of the plan. It made no sense to them to attach a multi- purpose athletic facility to an elementary school. This would place the children at risk of abduction and /or violence. It would bring adults, high school and middle school children in large numbers into close proximity to the children as they are leaving school or staying for after school activities. The increase in traffic also presents risk of accident and injury. Upon further investigation, Ms. Christiansen learned of the stated cost savings of the community center's boiler system, but the financial saving did not in her opinion, merit the risk of harm and injury possible. She said they would like to support the referendum because they agree with the other pieces not associated with the ECC. They however, cannot in good conscience support the proposal because in their opinion it is fatally flawed. Ms. Christiansen contended the location of the proposed field house is dangerous to the children at the Normandale Elementary School. She urged the Council look for another location. Ms. Christiansen said that a petition signed by 160 parents from Normandale and other concerned citizens has asked the City Council and the School Board to look at alternative sites for the gymnasiums. She urged delay of the referendum pending location of another site for the field house. She. added that perhaps the Edina High School's northeast parking lot be considered. Page 7 Minutes /Special Edina City Council/May 16, 2000 Neil Weikart, 4835. Maple Road, reported he was a 20 -year Edina resident. Mr. Weikart commended the Board of Education and the City Council for working together on the facilities. He added that Edina is a wonderful community in which to live and raise families. Both his children received great education in Edina Schools. Mr. Weikart added that education and ,schools are a cornerstone of the community. By working together hopefully everyone's needs will be met. Mr. Weikart said that in addition to being a parent of two children who have attended Edina Schools he was also president of the Edina Basketball Association' and been involved with the Association for ten years as a coach, board member and president. Mr. Weikart stated that participation has grown, incredibly in youth sports as the number of children in the community has increased. Last year 1,100 children participated in basketball programs from grades 2 -9. The house league programs have both boys and girls participating. Every participant, either the players, the 35 board members, or over 200 volunteer coaches lives in Edina or attends an Edina School. They will be a significant user of the new gym facilities during the week after 6:00 p.m. Mr. Weikart said the Basketball Association historically holds one tournament a year and he believes they would intend to continue. He said the facilities are needed for the kids programs. Currently, children are practicing and playing games later than they would like. Mr. Weikart said that while he agreed .that education is most important, he also believes youth athletic programs are an important piece of Edina. Children meet other children from all over Edina, they are exposed to team concepts, and they are exposed to coaches in a positive way. With over 200 volunteer coaches and board members, not just the children benefit, this is part of what defines community. Mr. Weikart said that older children teach younger children in skill sessions. By participating in such a session, Mr. Weikart believed his son learned community service. This is an important piece in raising children. Bob Fugner, 5200 Kellogg Avenue, thirty year resident, said he opposed the retractable dome and artificial turf. He said he checked with a neighbor who is a former football player. Mr. Fugner said artificial turf is dangerous and impractical. Mr. Fugner asked the Council to practice fiscal restraint. Mayor Maetzold asked Mr. Keprios to correct the misconception that the proposed dome would be retractable. Mr. Keprios explained that an inflatable dome covering only the field itself is what is proposed. The dome height would be about 70 feet. He added that modern artificial turf has been vastly improved. It is called field turf of crushed rubber filled into whatever level is the most suitable for the particular field. It reduces injuries compared to real grass according to Mr. Keprios' sources. Member Kelly added the proposed dome was not planned as a retractable done, but an inflatable dome similar to a tennis bubble. Secondly, the Nike camp out west has put this artificial turf in several locations that will be approved by the NFL Players Association because according to evidence so far, the artificial turf is at the least as good as natural grass, and depending on the weather can be superior. Mr. Keprios added that Edina Varsity Football would still be played open -air, the proposed dome would be. installed in November after the season ends and removed in March to be stored until the fall. Member Hovland commented the Council has attempted to be practical and were not in favor of adding an inflatable dome. However, upon learning that 3,200 children play soccer with the potential for more playing in the future, and that Holy Angels paid for their dome in one or two years, it was thought that the proposed dome could help pay off the cost of the dome, then also help cover operational.expenses of the field house. The Council has looked at several community centers in surrounding towns, all of which loose thousands of dollars annually. The Council is trying to avoid any financial impact that would require the citizens to subsidize the operating loss of a center. Page 8 Minutes /Special Edina City Council/May 16, 2000 Richard Connell, 4713 School Road, asked whether expansion of the parking south of the Community Center would bring about an access onto Ruth Drive. He added that he supported the previous women speaker from Normandale. Mr. Connell said that he has been in the teaching business for forty years at the university level. Mr. Connell reported the quality of students has declined. If an emphasis is to be placed, in his opinion it should be on education. The Northwest Athletic Club did not take their bubble down this spring because of the cost of removing and re- installing it annually. Valerie Burke, 6317 Limerick Lane, said she was, representing the Edina Swim Club and swimmers at the varsity level in Edina. She said that they support any plan that improves the current state of swimming in Edina. They were delighted to read the survey results and see the community response was so high to the improvement of the pools. Ms. Burke said they believe a true need is shown (35 -40 year old facilities). Edina citizens will respond with a yes vote and they would work with the Council in supporting the improved facilities. Jim Simons, 6637 Brittany Road, said he has lived in Edina over forty years. Mr. Simons said he had three daughters and was there representing Girls Traveling Basketball as their president. All three of his daughters were actively involved in youth athletic programs. He said it was clear from Mr. Keprios's presentation that there is a lack of gym time available as well as soccer fields and other facilities. Mr. Simons reported that his Association supports the proposal. He acknowledged that they are smaller with only 13 teams. However, they would like to expand, but may not be able to due to the lack of acceptable gym time for practices. Mr. Simons said the Association has received numerous parental complaints about practice times being too late. If facilities are not available programs will need to be cut. Children having an opportunity to be involved in athletics learn a variety of life lessons not necessarily learned in school: sportsmanship, teamwork, winning and loosing. Also from a girls' perspective, statistics.show girls who participate in sports through the high school level do better academically, have a lower instance of chemical or substance abuse, lower dropout rate and fewer teenage pregnan cies. Mr: Simons said that this demonstrates children participating in sports garner many benefits beyond success on the field or court. John Menke, 5301 Pinewood Trail, said that he thought the proposal was wonderful. He agreed the facilities are needed. Mr. Menke said he has coached basketball and soccer for close to twenty years. He said he is currently on the Edina Girls Athletic Association Board of Directors as a token male. The girls need the gym space probably even more than the boys. Mr. Menke stated he was in an unusual position because,he contended that the Council would be voting later whether to take park space from a neighborhood while voting whether or nor Edina taxes should be raised for park and sports facilities. Mr. Menke said in his opinion the two issues are linked. Kathy Sommerville, 5217 Danens Drive, said she was a Normandale parent. She said the Council has been hearing for many months the Normandale parents concerns, but looking at the line items in the proposal for the referendum no item exists to deal with these stated concerns. How will these costs be covered and has any research been done to ensure these concerns are met? Mayor Maetzold explained that the referendum would cover items arising from the project, but are not reflected individually. Ms. Sommerville continued asking if the components of the referendum could be made into separate questions on the ballot. She added she agreed with many components, but her concerns for the ECC would force her to vote no on the entire referendum. Mayor Maetzold said the Council will take this under advisement when they consider this issue. Page 9 Minutes /Special Edina City Council/May 16, 2000 Mr. Dragseth added the School District has a Safety Committee with representatives from all the different constituent groups within the Edina Community Center. The District is in the process of hiring two independent experts to look at security and traffic control. This will be done at the District's cost. He added they have had a lot of input from the architects regarding how to increase security and traffic flow. Mr. Dragseth stated the District will continue working with them as the project moves forward. Mr. Dragseth said one issue that stands out very strongly is the use of the auditorium. The auditorium would have a totally separate entrance and a secure wall around the auditorium to remove it from the elementary school. If asbestos were to be found, it would be abated using the funds available from the State of Minnesota. He added that there are very strict rules that must be adhered to for this process. Peter Anderson, 6129 Abbott Avenue, said he was currently president of the Edina Soccer Association, the largest youth sports organization in the City, with over twenty-five hundred participants. They are the in- house, or local, soccer association, as opposed to the traveling Edina Soccer Club. At their monthly meeting last evening, the Board of the Edina Soccer Association voted unanimously to withhold their support for the referendum as it is currently proposed. Their reasons are as follows: The referendum, as currently proposed, does not clearly benefit or address the need of the programs of the Edina Soccer Association. The input of the Edina Soccer Association has not been solicited as part of the planning process. Lastly, it is their opinion that there would be a benefit to delaying the referendum to permit greater and more detailed definition and input from the end - users. He said he would like to emphasize that the association's decision to withhold their support should not be considered as opposition to the referendum, or as opposition to the idea of improving Edina's recreational facilities. In fact, the Edina Soccer Association was recently awarded for the second time the Mayor's Community Endowment Award for their own donations to the city to improve local parks, donations which benefited not only their participants, but those of other youth sports organizations and the general public as well. They simply believe that a more detailed analysis of the costs and benefits involved in these projects, along with more information regarding the City's long -term plans for funding park and recreational facility improvements, should be required before this referendum gets put to a vote. Bridgit Colleran, 4725 School Road, stated that she would be directly impacted. She thanked the Normandale parents for raising, the traffic and safety concerns. Ms. Colleran said her children attend Concord and she was very disappointed and concerned regarding safety issues and traffic, wedging the proposed field in between two elementary schools. Ms. Colleran said that she had been assured the fields would only be used during after school hours, but she questioned whether anyone has observed the traffic between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. She also expressed concern about access, particularly through her neighborhood. In looking at the plan, it appears that 59th Street will open onto the frontage road. Mr. Keprios assured Ms. Colleran 59th Street was mistakenly drawn on the plan and would not be opened. Ms. Colleran said the proposed improvement will affect her children, their ability to play, the kind of traffic through the neighborhood, not only around the schools, but also year round traffic for public facilities. Ms. Colleran said she did not doubt the need for the facilities, but she questioned why they needed to be wedged between two elementary schools. Ms. Colleran asked for postponement of the referendum until more people, who are directly impacted such as the surrounding neighborhood, have information. about the proposed project. Janet Virnig, 5236 West 56th Street, stated she wanted to defend the Normandale parents, since she was told by a school board member that the Normandale parents are elitist whiners. Ms. Virnig said she understands this label, because the parents have had to stand up and fight for the Normandale School over the past years since its inception. She said she believed every Page 10. Minutes / Special Edina City Council/May 16, 2000 Normandale parent would support the classrooms at Concord, the gymnasium at Concord, and the Valley View and Southview Middle School pool improvements if they were offered as line item improvements. They do not support any additions to the Edina Community Center because of safety, traffic, and accessibility. Ms. Virnig asked that the referendum be delayed until more study is done. Dick Diercks, 4801 School Road, said he did not believe the question is whether or not there is a need for additional facilities, the question is the plan to meet the need. Having so much of the plan at one site is too much. The total impact on the site needs to be evaluated. He stated he was surprised and overwhelmed at the size and number of projects undertaken at a single location. Mr. Diercks said he thought that more than just the Normandale Site Council should be involved in evaluating the total impact of traffic, security, access and all the ramifications of the large project. Finally, in relation to Kuhlman Field's potential dome. Mr. Diercks said he felt that Eden Prairie and Plymouth facilities work well and meet the needs of many children. He added that in his opinion the Kuhlman site is inadequate to be the equivalent of either Eden Prairie or Plymouth. Mr. Diercks said perhaps the site just does not seem to be the site to make a domed facility work. He indicated that he would support a domed facility if the proper location is found. David Krasno, 5607 Dalrymple Road, said he has been an Edina resident for seven years. He has three children attending Edina Schools. He stated he was very much in favor of athletic programs. Mr. Krasno said he did not have a problem with the proposed improvements, outside of the chosen site. When looking at the proposed concept, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle trying to fit in something that just does not fit there. There are terrific traffic concerns at the ECC. Currently, there are many times when there is too much traffic in the area. Mr. Krasno said he frequently flies over Edina and looking down he thinks the Edina High School property could better support a domed facility. If it means that fewer high school students have cars at school, then he did not have a problem with that. Mr. Krasno said he hates the thought of any children subjected to safety or security issues during construction. He reiterated that the project improvements at the ECC are too much and urged that they be located elsewhere where they would have a better long -term effect. Lenny Wallen- Firedman, 6805 Limerick Lane, stated he agreed with the prior two speakers and was glad to hear that people in the immediate vicinity to the ECC, were raising issues about the overall impact of the project. He noted that the School Board and City have put together a project that undeniably impacts one of the District's elementary schools. He listened to Ken Dragseth say he was putting together a Safety Committee to look at the issues. How can the City embark on a project that will undeniably impact, and cause issues until the impact, the scope of the issues, and the costs are known. The referendum should be delayed until this information can be gathered. He added that studies may well uncover issues not even yet thought of, especially since the Normandale parents have not been included in the studies. He urged the Council to order studies that would delve into the issues and get solid cost estimates, noting that some people currently not willing to support a referendum may change their mind if a well thought out project were presented to them. Gary Dorrian, 4708 West 60th Street, said he echoes the three previous speakers. Conceptually he agreed that the project would be meeting City needs. However, in his opinion, scattering the facilities would be better than focusing. Mr. Dorrian said adding all the space will add operation costs. He said he had spent 30 years in public facility management and gone through many expansions and if space is added, staff will be added as well, perhaps not a manager. Mr. Dragseth explained that the proposal does state additional operating expenses will be incurred, Page 11 Minutes /Special Edina City Council/May 16,200 but will be minimized because of the infrastructure already in place at the ECC. Mr. Dorrian continued stating he had concern with the roadway, because of the error on the conceptual plan. If there are errors here, he worried they would be in the final project. He expressed concern with management, pointing out that the Braemar parking lot is still not complete and that project was done two years ago. Mr. Dorrian asked if the roadway costs have been addressed and asked if the demographics would still be increasing in ten years. Mr. Dragseth answered that the demographics of the district will peak at about 7,500 students and will remain within 400 -500 of that for the next ten years. Bill Lykken, 7100 Lanham Lane, said he was a member of the Edina Fast Pitch Association. That Association is in support of the referendum since they certainly need fields. He added that he would be commenting as a real estate developer. Mr. Lykken said that he has a daughter very active in sports, so he has the opportunity to spend virtually all his free time traveling to various communities visiting facilities. It has become apparent to him, that surrounding communities are in fact developing much better facilities than Edina. Wayzata, Plymouth, and Eden Prairie have land so they can make great fields. However, Edina does not have land, so we are restricted. He thinks that in order to preserve real estate values and to provide the same level of facilities other communities are providing for their children, Edina must be careful not to be left way behind other communities. Mr. Lykken said that he believed it would be possible to study this issue to death and not meet the needs of the children. Every year the project is put off has a negative impact on the children it is meant to serve. Member Kelly made a motion, seconded by Member Hovland to close the public hearing at 6:45 p.m. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Johnson, Kelly, Maetzold Motion carried. Consensus of the council was to hold a special meeting at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 30, 2000, to consider whether to hold a referendum. There being no further business on the Council Agenda, Mayor Maetzold declared the meeting adjourned at 6:50 P.M.

Recommends ® To HRA ® To Council ❑ Motion ❑ Resolution ❑ Ordinance ® Discussion REPORT: Enclosed are proposed final drafts of the Joint Powers Agreement and Facilities Use Agreement which have been negotiated with the staff of the School District. These Agreements are now in a form which have been agreed to by the respective staffs. I would direct your attention in particular to paragraphs 5.1, 6.2, 7.5 and 11.1 of the proposed Joint Powers Agreement. These paragraphs have been modified in a manner which is acceptable to City staff. Draft of 5/26/00 JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT Dated as of May _, 2000 This Agreement is made on May _, 2000, between Independent School District No. 273, a Minnesota public corporation (the "District "), and the City of Edina, a Minnesota municipal corporation (the "City"). 1. PURPOSE The District and the City have determined that is in the best interests of the residents of the District and the City to undertake in a cooperative fashion the provision and upgrade of certain public recreational, social and cultural facilities (the "Project "). The goal of the District and the City is to provide for the use of the facilities by members of the community in a manner that is more cost effective and accessible than if such facilities were duplicated by the District and the City. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms governing the design and construction of the Project and the ownership, operation, maintenance, and sale of the resulting facilities. The overall guiding principle embodied in this agreement is the mutual desire of the District and the City to maximize the use of the facilities resulting from the Project by all members of the District's and City's respective constituencies. This agreement is made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 471.59. 2. JOINT POWERS ORGANIZATION 2.1 To provide for the design and construction of the Project the District and the City agree to establish an organization to be known as the Edina Joint Powers Organization (the "JPO "). The JPO shall be responsible for the design and construction of the Project as provided herein. 2.2 The JPO shall be governed by a Board (the "Board ") consisting of eight members. The District and the City shall each appoint two members of its governing body to serve as voting members of the Board and shall appoint members of its governing body to serve as their alternates. The District and the City shall each appoint two additional ex officio members to the Board, who need not be members of their governing bodies. Members of the Board and their alternates shall serve without compensation. Each member of the Board and alternates shall serve until a successor is appointed and assumes his or her responsibilities. Members of the Board and alternates shall serve at the pleasure of the District in the case of members and alternates appointed by the District, and the City in the case of members and alternates appointed by the City. A vacancy on the Board shall be filled by the party whose position on the Board is vacant. 2.3 Each voting member of the Board shall have one vote. The Board shall act by majority vote of all voting members of the Board at a meeting duly called upon notice as prescribed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.705. All 4 voting members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction by the Board of any business. 2.4 The officers of the JPO shall consist of a Chair, a Vice Chair and a Secretary/Treasurer. Each officer shall be elected annually by the Board and shall hold office until his/her successor takes office, earlier disqualification, death, resignation or renewal. All officers must be voting members of the Board. The Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Board and shall perform all duties incident to the office of Chair and such other duties as may be delegated by the Board. The Vice Chair shall act as Chair in the absence of the Chair. The Secretary/Treasurer shall be responsible for keeping a record of all of the proceedings of the Board. He /she shall have custody of the Board's funds, shall pay its bills, shall keep its financial records, and generally conduct the financial affairs of the JPO. The Secretary/Treasurer shall be responsible for such other matters as shall be delegated to him/her by the Board. All checks issued on behalf of the JPO shall be approved by the Board and signed by the Secretary/Treasurer and one other member of the Board. The Secretary/Treasurer shall be a member of the Board appointed by the City. The JPO shall obtain a fidelity bond or other insurance to cover all persons authorized to handle funds of the JPO. , 2.5 The JPO shall terminate upon the final completion of the construction of the Project and payment of all costs thereof or upon such earlier date as this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof. 2. PROJECT 3.1 The Project shall consist of the facilities identified in Exhibit A hereto, subject to modification as provided herein. 12 The costs of the Project will be financed primarily by general obligation bonds issued by the City pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475, if authorized at an election to be held by the City no later than September 12, 2000. The City may also include in the election authorization to issue general obligation bonds for improvements to City parks which shall not be part of the Project. If the election passes the City intends to issue bonds in the estimated principal amount of $ . Such amount will be based on the estimated amount of the cost of the Project (less costs to be paid by the District as provided in Section 7.4 hereof) plus (i) amounts authorized for improvements to City parks and (ii) bond discount, bond counsel fees, financial advisory fees, rating agency fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the City in issuing the bonds. The decision to issue the bonds and the timing and structure thereof rests solely with the City. However, bonds shall be sold on a schedule that assures that funds are available to the City to adequately pay bills as costs are incurred in design and construction of the Project. 4. OWNERSHIP 4.1 The Project will be constructed on property owned by the District. The District agrees that this property is available for the construction of the Project and will permit the JPO to construct the Project on such property. The District agrees to permit access to its property and facilities to the extent necessary to permit the construction of the Project and to allow vehicles associated with the construction of the Project to park on the property owned by the District subject to reasonable regulation of such parking by the District so as not to conflict with any activities carried on by the District in such facilities. 4.2 The facilities to be constructed as part of the Project will be owned by the District and the District will make the facilities available for community use as provided in the Facility Use Agreement between the District and the City attached as Exhibit B hereto to be executed by the City and the District simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. -2- 5. DESIGN 5.1 The City and the District have undertaken a predesign study prepared by TSP One, Inc. dated December 6, 1999, with subsequent addenda dated (collectively referred to as the "Predesign Study "). The JPO will promptly proceed to retain project architects for the purpose of preparing preliminary plans and design development drawings based upon the Predesign Study. Following completion of these drawings and following successful passage of the election, the JPO will file an application for a conditional use permit pursuant to the Edina City Code. If the conditional use permit is approved, the JPO will authorize the project architects to proceed with construction plans and specifications. The construction plans will also include a cost estimate. The final cost estimate will include all costs associated with the Project, including, but not limited to, design fees as well as a contingency budget for unforeseeable circumstances associated with the construction. Final construction plans, specifications and cost estimates will be submitted to both the City and the District for City Council and School Board approval. The JPO will comply with any requirements of Minnesota law with respect to approvals of such plans and specifications by the Commissioner of Children, Families and Learning, since facilities to be constructed as part of the Project will take place on property of the District. The City may charge the JPO its customary fees for the review of plans and specifications, the issuance of permits and inspection of work on the Project in accordance with the Uniform Building Code. 6. CONSTRUCTION 6.1 If final construction plans and specifications are approved by the City Council and School Board, the City Council has authorized the issuance of the bonds sufficient to fund the Project, and state and local approvals have been obtained, then the JPO shall proceed with construction of the Project. The JPO will advertise for bids in accordance with the requirements of the municipal contracting law. The JPO shall retain an independent construction manager for the Project who will oversee all construction bidding and processing of payments. 6.2 Prior to awarding construction contracts the JPO will review the bids received with the District and City. If the contracts exceed the cost estimates contained in the construction plans (including a contingency budget) previously approved by the District and the City, the JPO shall eliminate or modify the proposed contracts in order that the contracts awarded do not exceed the costs estimates contained in the construction plans previously approved by the District and the City. If the JPO is unable to agree upon such contract elimination or modifications, the City shall so decide and the JPO shall thereupon proceed with the Project as modified by the City. Provided, however, that any modifications by the City are subject to the following limitations: (a) The City may not modify the District only facilities referenced in paragraph 7.4 hereof without the District's consent; (b) The City may not, without the District's consent, make Project modifications that would adversely impact the District's instruction of students; (c) The City may not, without the District's consent, make Project modifications that would adversely impact the health, safety, or security of District students or staff. Any disputes regarding the application of Sections 6.2 (a), (b) or © shall be resolved through the dispute resolution process contained in Article 8 hereof. 6.3 The JPO will be the contracting party and will use ordinary and prudent efforts to require that the Project is constructed in compliance with approved plans and specifications and completed with all reasonable promptness in accordance with the schedule prepared by the architect. During construction, representatives of the City will be given access to the construction site at all reasonable times. 6.4 The JPO must notify the City and the District of all change orders and must obtain the District's and the City's written authorization before approving any change order which increases the cost of any individual -3- Y. construction contract for the Project by more than 10% of the original amount thereof or which materially changes the scope of the Project, or a subproject. However, prior written authorization is not necessary if the charge order presents imminent healtb/safety issues making prior authorization impactical. In such cases, the change order shall be seasonably presented to the City and District for ratification. The City or the District must not unreasonably withhold its consent to change orders resulting from unforeseen circumstances arising from the construction. 7. PAYMENT OF COSTS OF PROJECT 7.1 The District and the City have agreed that the City shall pay all of the costs of the election to be held by the City for the issuance of general obligation bonds for the Project, that the District shall pay the costs of the public opinion survey undertaken with respect to the Project by Decision Resources and that the District and the City shall each pay a portion of the Predesign Study. If the general obligation bonds for the Project are issued by the City, the City will reimburse the District for costs paid by the District for the public opinion survey and for the Predesign Study. Except as provided in Section 7.2 hereof, any costs incurred by the JPO prior to the issuance of the bonds will be borne equally by the parties. The parties agree that with the exception of permits and inspection fees under Section 5. 1, no costs of District or City staff time will constitute Project costs. 7.2 If the general obligation bonds are authorized by the voters of the City the City will pay the costs of the preparation by the project architects of the construction plans and specifications, all costs related to obtaining all necessary permits and approvals for the Project, and all other costs associated with the Project. If the City thereafter determines to not issue the bonds for the Project the City shall nevertheless be liable for the payment of such Project costs which are incurred up to the date the City notifies the District that it does not intend to issue the bonds for the Project. 7.3 Upon issuance of the bonds the City will pay to the JPO the portion thereof to be applied to pay the cost of the Project, less (i) amounts to be applied to reimburse the City for Project costs previously paid by the City, (ii) amounts to be paid by the City to the District to reimburse the District for costs paid by the District for the public opinion survey and Predesign Study as provided in Section 7.1 hereof, and (iii) amounts to be applied to pay the costs of issuance of the bonds. The JPO shall deposit the amounts paid to it by the City in a separate bookkeeping account and invest such amounts in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter I I8A, and such amounts together with investment income thereon shall be applied by the JPO to pay costs of the Project (other than costs thereof to be paid with moneys of the District as provided in Section 7.4 hereof). Upon completion of the Project and payment of all costs thereof any amounts remaining in such account shall be paid to the City. Within 20 days of the end of each calendar month the JPO shall provide a statement to the District and the City showing the balance in such account and amounts paid from such account for the Project during the prior calendar month. 7.4. A portion of the facilities to be constructed as part of the Project will be used by the District and will not be available for City use, and costs of construction of such facilities may not be paid from proceeds of the bonds issued by the City for the Project. Such facilities have presently been identified to include space below the Concord Elementary School addition which is to be used as classroom space by the District and space within the Community Center locker room area which will be reserved for exclusive District use, Normandale playground improvements, and the health and safety portion of Kuhlman Stadium. If reasonably possible, the Project shall be bid so that the cost of these facilities is separately identified. If not possible to separately identify the cost, the construction manager for the Project will make a determination of the allocable cost of such District facilities, which shall include an allocation for construction of the space below the Concord School addition, and furnish such determination to the District and the City for approval. If such allocation is approved by the City and the District the District shall pay to the JPO such allocable cost prior to the payment by the JPO of such costs. In addition, the District shall pay to the JPO $ for costs of renovation of the bleachers at Kuhlman Field. Amounts paid by the District to the JPO shall be separately accounted for by the JPO. 7.5 The parties recognize that the ultimate cost of the Project, despite the operation of -4- Articles 6.2 and 6.4 hereof, may exceed the Project Budget. The parties agree to share in the extra expenses as follows: If the overall Project budget is exceeded, the JPO will analyze the nature of the cost overrun and the reasons for the overrun. The JPO will proceed to develop a proposed allocation apportioning the additional cost between the City and the District. This apportionment will be submitted to the City and the District for approval. If not approved by both parties, the question of the allocation of overruns shall be resolved by the dispute resolution process set forth in Article 8 hereof. 8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 8.1 If a dispute arises between the District and the City regarding this agreement or if the JPO is unable to reach a majority vote on any matter under its jurisdiction, the members of the Board must promptly meet and attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. 8.2 If the parties have not negotiated a resolution of the dispute within 30 days after this meeting, the District and the City may jointly select a mediator to facilitate further discussion. 8.3 If a mediator is not used or if the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after first meeting with the selected mediator, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that disputes involving an amount less than $25,000 will be submitted to a single arbitrator. 8.4 The District 'and the City will equally share the costs of conducting any mediation or arbitration, excluding each party's cost for preparation of its own case. 8.5 In addition to the dispute resolution, mechanisms contained in this section, each party may seek specific performance of the other party's obligations under this agreement. -5- �1 9. GROUND LEASE 9.1 The District shall lease to the JPO those District lands on which the Project components will be built. The lease shall be for $1.00. The lease shall be for purposes of construction of the facilities, reserving to the District all other uses. The lease(s) shall terminate on final completion of the Project. 10. LIABILITY, INSURANCE 10.1 The JPO will obtain sufficient insurance (in accordance with prevailing community standards) to protect the parties' exposures to loss and liability during the time of facility construction. This insurance and payment of any deductibles will be part of the cost of the Project. 10.2 Once the facility is constructed and occupied, the District will obtain sufficient property and casualty insurance (in accordance with prevailing community standards) to cover the replacement cost of the resulting facilities and its contents. 11. SALE OF FACILITY 11.1 In consideration of the contribution by the City for the capital costs of the Project, the District agrees that it may not sell its interest in the resulting facilities, render them unusable or unavailable for community use or materially alter the facilities until at least 30 years following completion of the Project without the City's prior approval. Following the expiration of such 30 year period the City shall have the option to acquire any of such facilities from the District for $1 if the facilities are offered for sale by the District or abandoned by the District. This option to purchase the facilities by the City if offered for sale by the District shall expire on the 40`h anniversary of the completion of the Project. 11.2 Any dispute regarding matters covered by Section 11.1 will be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures in Section 6. 12.

DeVoe 4612 58t' Street West Edina, MN 55424 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 50'h Street West Edina, MN 55424 23 May 2000 Dear Edina City Council Members, I have just recently become aware of the proposal to build a year -round multi -sport complex at the site of the Edina Community Center and Kuhlman Field. While I think this type of facility would be a great asset to the city of Edina, I do not believe the proposed site is appropriate at this time. I currently reside on 58'h Street very near the proposed site and suffer through the noise, traffic and congestion that accompanies the Edina High School football and soccer games. Generally this is not a problem since it is only a few nights a year. This would be a significant issue if that same noise, traffic and congestion occurred daily or even on a majority of days a year. 58' Street is the primary access route to the area and it cannot handle that volume of traffic. There are no sidewalks, gutters or stopsigns which means people park and walk across our lawns regularly. Additionally with cars parked along the street, there is only enough driving area for single lane traffic making the street very accident prone. The proposed additional 100+ parking spots along the frontage road will not be enough to alleviate this parking problem due to its perceived inaccessibility from 58t' Street. Again, I believe this type of sports facility would be a wonderful asset to our City, but I cannot support it until additional environmental and traffic impact studies are conducted to justify it, particularly its current proposed location.

I have recently moved to Edina. One of my principal reasons for choosing the neighborhood was the peace, quiet and safety of the neighborhood. I am concerned that should this referendum pass, I will no longer enjoy my peaceful, safe neighborhood. Instead, I will be subjected to a neighborhood with increased noise due to traffic, increased security concerns due to the high school athletic events at the campus, increased parking problems due to the failure of the plan to include adequate parking facilities and finally, increased money issues for myself as I'm quite sure you intend to raise my already sizeable property taxes to support this venture. I wish to let the members of the Edina City Council know that my husband and I do not support this venture and will vote against any referendum that includes the Edina Community Center Campus. Thank you.

Not only were the Normandale parents not notified of the site selection until mid February of this year, but we also had no say in the site selection or the plans until one of our parents learned of it and let other parents know. Also, there are many concerned home owners around the site that were not notified either. The City Council cannot expect to rely on the Sun Current to relay important information to its citizens. With something of this magnitude, there should have been a- mailing to the citizens of Edina. believe the'site to be totally inappropriate for a'sports complex - and even though I support'the ide.a`of more gyms, - swimming pools, soccer fields, -; baseball diamonds and let us not forget the classrooms at Concord (!), I can't support the site you have chosen to build the complex because of my concerns regarding our kids safety, their health and ability to learn during the construction phase, the congestion the increased traffic will cause to the school and the neighborhoods. Before you vote to pass a referendum, why not hire a consulting firm to determine the impact of the present plan on the school and the land? Don't we owe that to not only the kids at Normandale, but even the kids at Concord and the neighborhood around the two schools? The few City Council meetings I have attended regarding the Dan Patch Commuter Rail issue and the Normandale Project, I have been impressed by. your willingness to listen-and to reflect on these issues as well as T6l nk:you for - trying -to "repreS@nf your commuhity fairly.

Bruce Armstrong, Concerned Normandale Parent, Resident & Edina Taxpayer I am totally opposed to the proposed Community Center Project as it is currently configured. Not only to the costs and scope of the proposed project, but also how poorly. this major project has been communicated (or should I say not communicated) to the various publics that will be affectd. I have no problem with updating Kuhlman field to be in compliance with the state mandate, nor do I have a problem with upgrading the facilities at Concord, Southview, Valley View and other necessary_ improvements to the quality of facility for the enrichment of our children. I do believe that the scope of this project will dramatically negatively impact and affect the environment, traffic, security and parking at Normandale and the surrounding neighborhood. . Having grown up and- lived in the western suburbs all my life (Wayzata, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park and now Edina) I can honestly say that the-City of Edina is not now, nor has it ever been '!Athletically Challenged ". The last thing we need to do is spend millions of dollars on a complex to help celebrate the "Jock' mentality of a minority in this city. This proposed referendum should be split into at least two parts. One for the educational facilities necessities and one for the .total luxury of a questionable and overblown athletic complex. This would be a much more objective way for the citizens -to evaluate and demonstrate support for their priorities.

This area is too small for a year - around sports complex. It would be located between two elementary schools and rented out to anyone in the state for practice and state tournaments. Will our children be safe? There is no freeway access to the community center complex coming from the south or the west -- except through our neighborhoods! The prospect of cars and buses driving down our heretofore quiet streets until ten or eleven o'clock at night is disturbing to contemplate. What other sites have been considered, and has the community been informed as to why these were rejected?

There are many reasons that this would not be beneficial for anyone who lives in the immediate area. 1. There is no freeway access to the current Community Center from the South or West, except through our neighborhoods. 2. There is not adequate parking for the events that happen at the Community Center /Middle School now, an additional 100 spaces would not alleviate the current parking shortage during special events. 3. There have been, (to our knowledge) no environmental impact studies done on the effect it would have on our neighborhoods. 4. There has been no money allocated for traffic safety, increased access, or even stoplights on the Benton Avenue exit and Highway 100. 5. Putting this facility between 2 elementary schools, and then renting them out for profit, does not do our own children justice. 6. The congestion on our streets is terrible during an event, and that is not every night, all year long. I can't park in front of my own house as it is, I can't imagine what that would do to the safety of my small children and the rest of the children that live around the Community Center currently. 7. What will this do to my property taxes and more importantly my property's value for resale? We moved to this neighborhood 18 months ago because the area was safe, quiet and a great place to raise children. We don't mind the Friday night football games or the activities that go on 2 -3 times a month at the community center. There is just not enough room for a year round sports complex.

Deanna Henriksen 5612 Dalrymple Road Edina, Minnesota 55424 SEAL I MAY 2 3 2000 REC IVED BY Attention Edina City Council: It has come to our attention that there are plans to build a large sports complex in and around the Edina Community Center. There is a need for more gyms and other sports facilities, but why is this happening so quickly? I've heard almost nothing about this until yesterday even though we live just feet from the Community Center. Has there been an environmental study to see how the surrounding community will be affected by traffic and parking? It would be irresponsible to proceed without a clear idea of how my neighbors and I will be affected (people parking on our quiet streets, an increase in traffic though our neighborhoods, and the possibility of declining property values). Why don't we have the opportunity to debate this, get facts, and VOTE on this? This is not to say that, given the opportunity to get facts, we wouldn't approve of these plans. But something of this price, of this scale, should be voted on - especially if it will affect so many residents. We ask you to postpone this issue until it can be voted on by all residents of Edina.

People with small children do not dare let them play out with the present traffic.. We put up with the cars, the garbage and delivery trucks at the Community Center as it is. I would suggest the Council spend a night in our home on Dalrymple and listen to the backup signals on the trucks at 5:00 A. M.. at the Community Center. I'm sure not one of you would feel more traffic is necessary in the area. Perhaps the Council could spend some of their time planning some kind of fencing around the Center loading docks to improve the view from our homes at present. Our taxes are not any less because we put up with these inconveniences. I think it would be more supportive of our Council members to get some feeling from the area before ever presenting such a proposal.

The Edina Police Department has been unable or reluctant to regulate speed on this street, to the extent that it borders on negligence. Some time ago I requested a speed check and Sgt. Carlson stationed a squad in plain view on 58' Street. Hardly a well- conceived plan to observe violators. There is an increasing population of children under the age of 6 in this area, and if traffic control is not improved, a serious accident is more than likely to happen. The proposed complex will only exacerbate a problem which has not been managed; streets around the school grounds will not handle increased volume. At a recent Council Meeting the proponents of this complex cited several surrounding communities which had "better" sports facilities. Several other proponents stated opinions regarding the benefit of sports facilities to the quality of our youth's overall well -being and academic progress. QUESTION: Have the "better" facilities in the cited communities contributed to academic achievements which surpass those of Edina schools ?? Athletic events held at present result in cars parked several blocks from the site. How will multi- ple events occurring at the same time be accommodated? We live one block from the school property. When the bands practice or when a football game, track meet or other event is being held, the sound of the P.A. system is heard throughout the neighborhood. Now you are considering adding baseball fields adjacent to Concord Avenue; what will that add to the noise level? Where do you live? The people who live in "West Edina" are all for the complex as proposed. School property at Creek Valley and the Edina High School sites is very large. Will they support a noisy, traffic -con- gested complex which will be rented out to undefined parties, in their neighborhood? Property rights include use, occupation, possession, and enjoyment of the premises. We hope you will consider these rights before you proceed further. Our taxes continue to increase. We do not object to this natural growth, however, if a facility such as the one being considered becomes a reality, property values in this area will decrease concurrently with an increase in taxes for the cost of the so- called "improvements ". We will not quietly sit by without action. 5800 Ashcroft Avenue Edina, MN 55424 /3 5z4de,,�JL Alice B. Sobert IT S SEAL MAY 2 5 2 "on R E C ED B Y ,/ May 24, 2000 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 W. 50"' Street Edina, MN 55424 Dear Council Members: Edina has a well- earned reputation of handling its public works in a thoughtful and wise manner - we "do things right." We are writing to express our conce,ms about, the creation of an expanded athletic and meeting complex at the site surrounding the Edina Community Center, sometimes called the ECC Campus Plan. In summary,'we believe that, without modification, the proposed ECC Campus Plan would: • Generate inappropriate and unsafe traffic levels on surrounding surface roads, nearly all of which do not have sidewalks; ♦ Exacerbate existing parking problems at the site, which overflow into the surrounding residential area; ♦ Increase.risks.to the school children of Concord and Normandale at the site; ♦ Adversely affect the property values in the immediate neighborhood, in part to create facilities for use by non -Edina residents; and ♦ Create an aesthetically unpleasing Kuhlman Field, based on an economic model that has not worked in St. Paul. A more detailed discussion of these points is attached to this letter. We ask that the Council consider the following alternatives: • Separate the ECC Campus Plan from the remainder of the projects in the proposed referendum and table it, or at a minimum subject it to a separate vote. ♦ If the Council believes the facilities are necessary, spread them around the Edina community to disperse more equitably their impact, as well as ease of access (e.g., auditorium at ECC, fieldhouse at Edina High School, indoor soccer fields at Braemar). We know, that the Council will review carefully these matters in its deliberations on May 30, in deciding how to "do things right" in this case. Thank you. Sincerely, ��P Cl TY �Ay2 2000 Robert G. Newkirk R E ' Kristine M. Newkirk B y E I V E D 4600 W. 58"' Street DETAILED DISCUSSION Traffic The site does not have highway access from or to the south on Highway 100 at Benton. As residents near the site, we typically use the France Avenue exit when coming from the east or west on Highway 62, and suspect that visitors from those directions would do the same (and we understand that the intention, or at least future possibility, is to rent the facilities to users from outside Edina). Persons exiting on France would most logically use Valley View Road or 58"' Street to access the site. The residential character of 58th makes this street unsuitable for persistent, high traffic volumes. Residents have previously complained about the volume of traffic and speeds on this street, leading to the placement of a stop sign near the entrance to Pamela Park. The development would only worsen this situation. An additional concern is the presence of two elementary schools (Concord and Normandale) on the site. The elementary schools do not finish until approximately 4 p.m., by which time outside users would have begun using the facilities (it wouldn't make sense for Edina taxpayers to finance the facilities unless they are expected to be utilized fully). Neighborhood children making their way home from school, by bus or on foot, would face additional traffic hazards. An important, persistent contributor to the impact of the traffic is that the neighborhood streets almost universally do not have sidewalks where. children (and adults) can walk safely. Parkin The current parking situation at the Edina Community Center and Normandale Elementary is chaotic. There are three different lots which,are often crowded, one of which requires crossing a public street to get to the facility. The lots in the complex as a whole overflow for major events at Kuhlman Field. This may be acceptable, and even a little quaint, for a few football weekends in the fall, but would be a major disruption on a regular basis. Security of School Children The presence of the Concord and Normandale Elementary Schools would appear to create a number of conflicts for the proposed development. Risks from traffic and parking impacts are obvious. The expanded Community Center auditorium would appear to draw increased numbers of people into the same building which houses the Normandale school, exacerbating an already worrisome problem. The other facilities would also draw additional persons to the complex, affecting both Concord -and Normandale. More people equals more risk. Adverse Effect on Nearby Property Values The ECC Campus Plan will almost certainly impose on the immediate neighborhood a number of adverse effects. Persons using the site from other parts of Edina, not'to mention from surrounding suburbs, will get the benefits of using the site without bearing the negative effects (except for the tax burden with respect to Edina residents). Those negative effects, in the form of more traffic, parking congestion, and increased security risks would almost invariably result in lower property values, for which the only compensation would be a shorter drive to the facilities. Inappropriate Inclusion with General Improvements in Referendum The development project is to be voted on as part of a list of other, likely less controversial projects. Lumping the initiatives together poses a difficult choice for Edina residents — swallow a relatively major, non -core service project they may not desire or lose out on improvements they do. This sort of packaging when done at the national level draws the average voter's ire. Kuhlman Field "Improvements" Have Poor Aesthetics and Weak Economics We question both the aesthetics and economics of the proposed Kuhlman Field "improvements." Artificial turf, resilient or not, would change the character of events at the field for both participants and spectators — the Metrodome is, for good reason, to our knowledge the last major stadium built with an artificial surface. Furthermore, it is our understanding from a multiple -term St. Paul city council member that a domed athletic facility built in that city has underperformed financially and is losing money. Mav 24, 2000 Edina City Council Citv Hall 4801 W. 500' Street Edina, MN Dear Council Members: We are writing to communicate our concerns about the proposed implementation of an expanded athletic and meeting complex to the site adjacent to the Edina Community Center. The referendum includes the creation of a three gymnasium fieldhouse and a removable dome for the existing Kuhlman Field creating a "year- round" facility. While the need for additional sports facilities in Edina may be evident, we believe the solution is not to shoehorn a year -round sports facility into an already space challenged Community Center site. Please consider the following: • Access would be primarily through our neighborhoods creating increased congestion and safety concerns. • Use of the facility would stretch into the night, disrupting our generally quiet evenings — not to mention the after -game "revelry" that follows some events. What one would consider "school spirit" during a half dozen nights during the fall could potentially expand to an all year headache, and it probably wouldn't even be the local team! • Parking at the site is already tight. An extra one hundred spots would do little to alleviate this, considering the additional traffic the facilities would bring. What about convenience for the seniors and parents with small children? The surrounding neighborhoods currently absorb any overflow parking on event days. • The fact that persons using the site from other communities will pay none of the consequences that the residents will — our property taxes will increase while the potential for lowered property values is high. • The safety of our children. Due to the immediate proximity of two elementary and a middle school, any resident of Edina that has a child who attends these schools should be concerned about the increased number of individuals who would be using the facilities and the related security risks. One additional note — the plan is unrelated to and should remain separate from school improvements. The two should not be "bundled" as a single package. An acceptable an workable solution wo to nncTan alternative site that would have zero impact on residential areas of Edina. Please consider the Braemar Sports location as a model for this facility: • Access that does not disrupt and congest neighborhoods. • Little impact on the community, other than providing a great sports facility. • No impact on schools or children. No related security risks. Please consider these points. We strongly believe that the current proposal is not in the best interest of our neighborhood and our children. Sincerely, �\AP T y� Robert P.

We have two children ages two (2) years old and nine (9) months old. On May 16, 2000, I attended the City Council hearing regarding the above referenced Proposal. I submit this letter into the record to formally object to said Proposal based upon that hearing and my personal experience with the surrounding neighborhood that will be directly impacted by it. I chose not to speak at the hearing due to my limited prior knowledge of the proposal. I found a hand delivered flyer on my front door on Sunday evening after returning from a trip over Mother's Day weekend. Also, many of the concerns expressed by the speakers echoed my own concerns. I believe the City Council must reconsider the Proposal before a `rush to judgment.' First, be advised this neighborhood CURRENTLY has a TRAFFIC problem. I have personally witnessed from our home at the corner of 58' Street and Concord Avenue: • daily instances of excessive speeding at said intersection; • many motorists driving their vehicles over my lawn due to cornering their vehicles at too great of speed; • during the summer nights [especially on Fridays and Saturday nights], countless motorists performing daredevil driving tricks in the parking lot immediately - south of Southview Middle School; • on a near daily basis, waiting in my vehicle in my driveway to pull -out onto Concord Avenue in the mornings due to a long procession of buses and motor vehicles taking children to one of the schools; and • motorists park their vehicles on my property and toss garbage on my lawn on every football game held at Kuhlman Field. Homeowners personally asked me to bring a petition to have three -way stop signs placed at the corner of 58`h Street and Concord Avenue in an attempt to slow down traffic prior to any knowledge of the Proposal. I, and many other homeowners, walk and stroller our children down the Edina city streets in this neighborhood due to the lack of sidewalks. Yet, motorists of all ages have nearly struck one of my family members on more than one occasion during walks. Mayor Dennis Maetzold May 24, 2000 Page 2 This neighborhood bears a tremendous traffic strain and stress upon it on a yearly basis. I believe the neighborhood is at the brink of a traffic- related tragedy involving a city resident any day now. It is unconscionable this Proposal is submitted to the Council to bring more motor vehicles and more traffic to an area with too many cars and traffic, already! Furthermore, I believe the Proposal will result in negative unintended consequences. It appears from the expected increase in motor vehicles to this area that the Minnesota Department of Transportation will have pressure to design and build a direct access from northbound Highway 100 to Benton Avenue. Also, the Edina city streets [which already handle a large flow of vehicles near the campus] will be further inundated from all directions to take on a more greater flow of vehicles to the detriment of city streets, property values, and the safety of our children. Do the benefits of the Proposal outweigh the costs? Second, our family objects to the `put - everything- into - one -spot' aspect of the Proposal. One of the beautiful aspects of Edina is the open green areas near the Edina Community Center and the three schools. The small diamonds and fields located at the east side of this campus provide opportunities for neighborhood children and students to exercise and play in an unstructured manner. Yet, the Proposal submitted puts the relocated McCarthy Field in this area. What a mistake. Moreover, I would like to know: How many feet is home plate from the bedroom windows in our home? It seems fairly obvious that other land is available near the current High School. Let's not try to squeeze everything into one area. Third, our family objects to such a great increase of activity from the Proposal due to expected NOISE problems. The neighborhood already has too many noisy motorists, Highway 100, airplanes from the airport, and sporting games and activities broadcast from the stadium speakers. We aren't interested in adding more noise. True, homeowners purchased their properties with full knowledge of the area campus activities. But, no homeowner could foresee such an extensive addition as reflected in the Proposal. Edina homeowners all possess deeds to their properties that warrant the quiet use and enjoyment of their property. Allow them to do so. I am aware that other schools are passing bonding proposals to upgrade their school facilities. Edina should upgrade is school facilities. My children would probably benefit from it were we to remain in Edina upon their attaining school age. But, don't do this Proposal. As one speaker aptly stated the problem at the last hearing; "It's not the need, its the plan."

This sports facility would only make the situation worse. As a parent of four young children, this increase in traffic is dangerous. It is, at times, difficult for my children to cross Concord to get to and from school. Perhaps spending our money on sidewalks would be a better idea. - As a parent of a child who uses the Edina Family Center and the Edina Public School Speech program located in the community center, I know how difficult it is to find a parking space. An increase in 100 spaces is not sufficient given the increase in demand_ that will surely occur. - I object to the fact that the parks and school improvements have been joined to this sports facility. - No money has been allocated to resolve the traffic issues. The primary people to suffer will be in my neighborhood. Would the same thing be considered in a more expensive neighborhood? - The fact that the facilities may be rented and open to the general public does not make me feel safe, even though it may not be during school hours. There are kids that stay late.at school, like Kid's Club kids.. Do we want the general public roaming our school? The city of Edina does need a better sports facility. Concord school does need more classroom space and perhaps needs anew gymnasium. However, this is an unwise project, given the make -up of the neighborhood and current congestion. I want this built where there is more room, and the area is not so residential. Sincerely, Kolleen and Dave Sogard 6121 Arctic Way Edina. MN 55436 May 24, 2000 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 W. 50th St. Edina, MN 55424 Dear Members of the City Council, you for postponing your vote on the referendum until May 30. I am grateful for .'lingness to listen to concerns raised by the neighborhood around the community soccer association and Normandale Elementary staff and parents. tely, the Board of Education has shown marked disregard for concerns raised andale parents regarding the impact of this project on the education of tary students, which is why I am writing to you. Constructing three gymnasiums at the community center may make financial sense and create a tournament feeling, but will compromise elementary education at Normandale in the following ways: noise and disruption during construction, inconvenience to the teachers and staff (they have already undergone 8 years of construction at this site!), inconvenient parking for school volunteers, increased accessibility to Normandale school and parking lot by high school students and district youth who will use the gyms during school hours. The parking lot after school will be a nightmare of elementary kids leaving and high school students coming to practice football and basketball, not to mention various groups rehearsing in the auditorium or attending classes like Yamaha music in the community center. I fear for children's safety leaving school. I believe that an alternate site(s) for the gymnasiums should be explored. The idea of building it on the student parking lot at the high school seems a good one for many reasons. Or divide them and. put them on different elementary schools who, like Concord, need the gym space and have adequate parking. There would still be net cost savings because of building on school property. The cost to education and safety is too great a price to pay for a referendum that would mainly benefit Edina athletics. I have been disappointed in the Board of Education overlooking these facts; and will vote accordingly in the next election. Now all our hope is upon you to safeguard education and school environment at Normandale Elementary. Please explore the alternatives. SEAL MAY 2 5 2333 RECEIVED 8Y Sincerely, Jkt�, Sheri Peterson 20 May, 2000 To: Edina City Council City Hall 4801 W. 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 From: Frank Camorani & Bridgit Colleran 4725 School Road Edina, MN 55424 We want to urge you to remove the dome and artificial turf improvements at Kuhlman Field and a new fieldhouse from the referendum as it is currently proposed. We feel the site is inadequate to support the traffic and additional activities these items will generate. The site is too small and cannot support the current activities at the schools and Community Center. An additional 130 parking spaces would not accommodate the additional need the proposed changes would create. There is already a parking shortage if Concord, Southview, Normandale, or Kuhlman Field has an event. Why wasn't an environmental impact study done? Do you care how these proposed 'improvements' will impact the surrounding neighborhoods? We can understand the need for additional gym space and other sports facilities. But building the proposed facilities at the Community Center complex is a huge mistake. How can you propose this site when there is no freeway access from the south or west without driving through residential areas? If you are proposing to add that access to the Benton Avenue exit on Highway 100, where will the money come from? Are busloads of kids going to exit Hwy. 62 at Tracy or Valleyview and then drive through those neighborhoods to the site? How can you justify this? Can you foresee the traffic nightmares if the site's use is as successful as you predicted at last Tuesday's meeting? When you host state tournaments? When you rent the spaces to other districts? Instead of Edina's Pride in Excellence, we'll have Edina's fiasco -- a poorly planned, congested, and hazardous complex. Edina residents will have difficulty getting to the facility. How willing can other districts be to endanger their children by busing them here? What is the LeAL reason you want to push this site? In a $31 million dollar referendum, how much difference does sharing a boiler with the Community Center make? Aren't the fields north and east of Edina High School a better choice? Or Braemar? Or in a non - residential area of Edina? Areas with appropriate access and minimal impact on residents are out there. Build something Edina can be proud of, not this pathetic attempt to compete with surrounding communities by jamming the facilities between two elementary schools. We particularly resent your insistence on wrapping these facilities in with school and park improvements that are truly necessary. We see your strategy and are angered by it. A "No" vote in September means another year without the improvements our schools so desperately need. It is obvious to anyone at last Tuesday's meeting that you, the City Council, are hell- bent on pushing this current referendum. Do you want to be remembered as the council that didn't do its homework and came up with this poorly planned and cramped site? As our home address indicates, we have a large stake in the defeat of the referendum as it stands now. Our property values will drop significantly, and our neighborhood will be destroyed with traffic, litter, noise and light pollution. We will do whatever it takes to defeat the current proposal if you pass it. If you truly want a sports complex like Eden Prairie -- do your homework and find the RIGHT SITE! It is not at the Community Center. Remove the fieldhouse, the dome, and the artificial turf from the referendum. Let our kids have what they need while you find an appropriate site for a sports facility. Are you willing to risk everything on the, current referendum? Break it down between what you and some sports parents think you WANT, and what the people of Edina really NEED.

We have owned the home for 47 years, since it was built, in 1953. It was one of the very first in the neighborhood, directly across from the parking lot, adjacent to the Southview Middle School, on Concord Avenue. We watched the school and surrounding parks being built. We voted our tax dollars to do so, for the better of our choice of life, the environment, and most importantly - OUR CHILDREN. We, and most of our neighbors, were informed two night ago, that a meeting was held to determine the next course of action in a vote to create and complete a study for the new recreational facilities and renovation to surrounding fields, buildings, school pool, etc... I can not tell you how upset and irate we all were to find that this meeting was less than publicly announced (swept quietly under the rug) and that we only have until 5/25/00 via mail to respond. As you should know, dozens of us canvassed the surrounding area passing out flyers to inform all of those who were not aware of the issues. Of the hundreds of homes we contacted -only two were in favor of the changes. They were both retired folks planning on moving any way. The main purpose of this message, is to inform you of our position on this proposed referendum. We do not oppose the entire package. We support several issues with minor modifications. Please see the below items of .oncern, and add our response to the public record. Also please note, that nre do plan a rally, continued involvement since you are asking us to pay for the changes /upgrades, and possible legal intervention if necessary. Thank you for your time and attention. Many of us look forward to seeing you on 05/30/00 at the meeting, and please remember our concerns affect our decisions at the next voting poll.

Build it somewhere else. Since it is to be used for other scholastic events -build it on all the extra non - residential grounds around the current Edina High School. Or how about over by Braemar arena ?They will have the room and parking and highway access. Do not build it in a highly populated residential area that needs more: roads, sidewalks (handicap accessible), city cleanup service, Police enforcement manpower availability. traffic control, access to highways, sufficient parking already in place. Do not make our streets unsafe - year round - for our children. With increased traffic, (which is already getting speeds that still need slowing down), and multiple sporting events -we are inviting fast driving, congestion, tailgating, reckless or unsafe drivers that love to drink and party in association with sporting events. Check the police statistics. 2) Upgrading the gym facilities for Concord Elementary School: Not a bad idea -those students could really benefit but we. need actual numbers and design plans to decide. 3) Upgrading the Southview School pool: Not a bad idea -those students could really benefit but we need actual numbers and design plans to decide. 4) 770 Seat auditorium: Only if it is a secured facility, and if we have actual numbers and design plans to decide -but probably not. Build it by the dome you want. They will have the room and parking and highway access. 5) Artificial turf: You are posing a greater threat to the safety of our children. If your proposed vendor say's it is safe -I want to see tests and results and a. second opinion from at least 5 other vendors. 6) 3 Gymnasium fieldhouse and running track: No, we already have a track. No other building can be supported at this site -move them to the other new dome site. They will have the room and parking and highway access. 7) New south parking lot to replace McCarthy Field:. No. Why replace a great usable filed to park cars at a dome that will not be built on this site, and that have no traffic lights or adequate access to the highway? 8) Ask me to pay for all of it with taxes: Doubt it -but let us see the numbers. .In response to certain parts of the proposal, I have annotated our suggestions next to the proposal findings. See below: Community Center Campus Predesign Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City of Edina Minneapolis -based Decision Resources in March surveyed approximately 400 randomly selected residents to determine which elements of the proposal the community supports, if any. The surveying firm provided to the Council May 2: (results in part, direct from the City Edina publishing) Methodology: Decision Resources, Ltd., contacted 400 randomly selected households in the City of Edina. Residents were interviewed by telephone between March 15 and 22, 2000. The average interview took 19 minutes. The result of.this sample may be projected to the universe of all adult residents of the City of Edina within t 5.0% in 95 out of 100 cases. Our response: Of those 400 interviewed -how many lived in the area surrounding the site? How many would be directly affected. A "random" sampling is not always the most accurate for results. Run the interview again. Residential Demographics: The typical Edina resident had lived in the city for 14.1 years. While 24% had resided there for five years or less, 22% had been in the community for over 30 years. The median adult age of residents was calculated at 53.5 years old. Twenty-nine percent of the sample were under 45 years old, while 32% were 65 years or older. Women outnumbered men by 8% in the sample. Seniors resided in 34% of the households; in fact, exclusively senior households composed 23% of the city's households. School -aged children were in 30% of the households and pre- schoolers could be found in 15% of them. Thirty percent of the households reported membership in a private health club. Our response: Nice facts about who you interviewed, but they were a waste of time to collect if the residents interviewed were not directly affected by the demographics of this proposal. Get new statistics. Bond Referendum Components: Residents were initially queried about their support for a tax increase to <� undertake 25.5 million dollars of recreational facility additions and improvements at the Community Center Campus and Edina Public Schools Campuses. Three proposals received impressive majorities of support: increased parking at the Community Center, renovation and remodeling of the ,ommunity Center Auditorium, and renovation of the swimming pool at South \/iew Middle School and either construction of a new swimming pool or renovation of the current pool at Valley View Middle School. In each case, at least 59% supported the proposal and less than 21 % opposed it. Narrower majorities were registered in support of the two projects: additional gymnasiums at the Community Center and Concord School and upgrading of the soccer, softball and baseball fields at Edina High School. Weak support or outright opposition was expressed on three components: a 49 % -33% split supported lighting the tennis courts for night play at the Community Center; a 38 % -34% verdict opposed renovation of the Kuhlman Field Stadium, including artificial turf; and, a 43 % -35% judgement opposed an air - supported fabric dome at the Kuhlman Field Stadium during winter months. Our response: The percentages for opposition are very high. They need to be, taken very seriously, and should send out a "Red Flag" to you to really look at a very in depth study.There seems to be a recurring trend in the numbers against the dome, new artificial turf and expansion of the rec. facilities. Residents were next queried about their support for a tax increase to undertake 4.5 million dollars of recreational facility additions and improvements at City Parks. Four proposals received significant support: upgrading of existing fencing, parking lots and tennis courts; construction of additional trails and improvement of existing trails; installment of fire protection systems at Braemar Arena and two historical buildings; and improvements of pathways at three parks and provision of additional pathways at Cornelia School Park. In each case, over 60 %favored the project and less than 30% opposed it. A narrower majority, 53 %, favored upgrading softball, baseball and soccer fields, while a 35 % -18% plurality opted for development of Van Valkenburg neighborhood park and playground area. Only one proposal was opposed: by a 32 % -23% margin, residents rejected a tax increase for replacement of the Courtney Fields concessions building. Our response: The terminology in the above paragraph has several holes in it. It needs more detail and not paraphrasing. When you indicate 'over 60% favored the project and less than 30% opposed it" just exactly what are you referring to. These statistics are very "vague" and need clarification if an accurate study is to be done, and to know accurately who is opposed. The numbers have little integrity. Referendum Atmospherics: The typical Edina resident would support a property tax increase of $138.00 per year for a plan to expand and improve recreational facilities in the City of Edina. Seventeen percent, however, would support "no tax increase" for this purpose. But, on the other hand, 16% would support property tax increases of $250.00 annually. In reaction to a 30.0 million - dollar bond referendum proposal for building of additional gymnasiums, renovation of sports stadiums and the community auditorium, trail expansions and improvements, improvement of sports fields, and upgrading of swimming pool facilities, a 60 % -33% majority favored the package. Support was principally based on "need," "benefit to the community," "maintenance of property values," -and "acceptable cost. Opposition stemmed from 'lack of need," "too comprehensive of a proposal," and "high taxes." Our response: How could 60% - 30% majority favor the package, if they do not have an accurate "picture" explained to them? These statistics are very vague and have little integrity. Run the numbers again, in order to make an accurate decision.. Summary and Conclusions: 1) Edina residents were very satisfied with the current park and recreations system. They gave it very high ratings both overall and for maintenance and upkeep. In fact, 60% felt the system was "better" than any of those in neighboring suburbs. Almost 80% regularly used the system, and 96% believed there was a strong tie between and extensive and attractive park and recreation system and residential property values. 2) Walking and running facilities play a special role for most residents; almost one -half of the sample listed those activities as their favorite outdoor leisure time activity. Similarly, there was a marked preference for individual recreational activities over group activities. 3) A key information deficit, though, was noted in the perception that current facilities met residential demand and were generally not crowded. The City may wish to inform residents more fully about the existing gaps between demand and availability. 4) Residents were especially keen about several expansions and improvements: renovation and remodeling of the Community Center Auditorium, increased parking at the Community Center, renovation of the swimming pool at South View Middle School and either construction of a new pool or renovation of the current pool at Valley View Middle School, construction of additional trails and improvement of existing trails, installation of fire protection systems at three facilities, improvement of pathways at three parks and additional pathways at Cornelia School Park, upgrade existing fencing, parking lots and tennis courts in need of repair or replacement 5) In every case, at least 59% favored the proposal and opposition was below 30 %. Two proposals, though were somewhat controversial: renovation of Kuhlman Field Stadium, including artificial turf for the field and widening of the track; air supported fabric dome at Kuhlman Field Stadium during winter months. Our response: 30% is very high -take it seriously before the matter reaches expensive legal resident intervention. 6) The 30.0 million - dollar bond proposal stands a reasonable chance of passage if a strong information and grassroots advocacy campaign is assembled. The comfort level for a tax increase of a typical resident was $138.00 per year, consistent with the 30.0 million - dollar bond proposal. Our response: The residents interviewed did not receive an accurate, in -depth analysis of what will happen to the homes around the site in question, for only $138.00 per year. This is unacceptable.

My main concern is the increase in traffic. There is no access to the community center from the south or the west. Therefore, traffic will have to flow through our neighborhood. There are many families with young children and retired people in my area. They are here because of the advantages it offers, not to deal with the traffic at all hours (not to mention safety issues). If you have ever been to any football games, or other events at the center, you will notice the lack of sufficient parking already! It would be catastrophic to think that a jam up would be happening every time there is an event. Please re consider the location and the size of it. Please find a site that would actually work! Respectfully, Debbie Bolton PS. I am a single parent with 3 girls who are avid sports players. I have been willing to I h ve seen the buses cars traffic and chaos. I hope it drive them to all sorts of locations, a f > won't become a reality in my own back yard! I have worked hard to purchase my property, and would be highly anguished to see it destroyed, or trodden by traffic. May 23, 2000 Dear Members of the City Council: As residents of Edina living in the immediate vicinity and as parents with young children enrolled in classes at the Community Center, we have major concerns regarding the Community Center Project Referendum. We do not feel that the selected location is appropriate for the proposed additional facilities due to the close proximity of the schools, the lack of adequate parking, and traffic movement issues. We DO NOT support this referendum as it stands! Living so near the Community Center, we have first hand experience with the issues of traffic and parking. We do not feel that sufficient studies have been conducted regarding traffic, parking and safety. There is currently insufficient parking for the classes and services currently offered by the Community Center. The proposed amount of additional parking will not be enough. On an average day, traffic is busy yet manageable surrounding the Community Center and Middle School. During special events (i.e. football games) traffic is very congested and parking is nonexistent. We're also concerned about the safety of children and their parents entering the existing and proposed facilities. During school days, children regularly walk between Concordia Elementary School and the Community Center. Obviously, we're also concerned about our own children playing in the neighborhood with increased traffic. The alarming increase in the number of "outsiders" entering our children's school grounds, security within the schools and the community center is an issue that cannot be ignored. We DO NOT support adding artificial turf or a dome to Kuhlman Field. Although the dome has been called retractable, it is our understanding that the costs for setting up and taking down the dome will be cost prohibited: We DO support adding new bleachers for safety purposes. In closing, there are two issues regarding the Community Center Project Referendum that we find unacceptable. The first is the lack of public knowledge. This project has not had much publicity and information about it is being spread via word of mouth. The second issue is that the Community Center Project Referendum is being "bundled" with other school upkeep issues. We strongly urge the City Council to separate the Community Center project from all other issues. We DO NOT want to deprive schools of proper upkeep. Respectfully, C Irk, � EqC Rick Hammond and Jane Fox 5613 Sherwood Ave. AY2 6 2000 Edina, MN 55424 612 - 927 -6424 R E E/ V B Y 0 0 Ap 17,111CIL :V Y SEAL MAY 2 6 2000 RECEIVED R ;� -3/--: � -//, 3 0 May 23, 2000 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 W. 50a' Street Edina, Mn. 55424 Dear Council Members: 1 am writing this in response to recently being informed that an upcoming referendum, among other proposals, recommends the building of a fieldhouse at the community center. I wish to go on record that I am totally against this idea. Although I do see the merit in many of the recommendations for improvements, adding this structure to an already overcrowded property does not make sense. It would, in my opinion ( and the opinion of all the neighbors I've spoken to ) : • Be a safety concern to all of the children at the 2 adjacent schools • Add much more traffic than the area should handle • Not be supported by the needed parking I would be willing to support the referendum in its entirety if another location could be found for the fieldhouse... such as the High School grounds. But as it stands, I will vote (and summon all the support that I can ) against it. Thank you for your consideration. Sinc ly, Lisa Roebuck- asno 5607 Dalrymple Rd. T SEAL MAY 2 6 2000 RECEIVED, BYE � May 24, 2000 City of Edina Edina City Council Mayor of Edina 4801 West 51P Street Edina, MN 55424 Dear Council Members, Mayor Maetzold and Superintendent Dragseth; I attended the May 16"' Edina City Council meeting and was very disappointed to learn some of the details of the proposed $31 million bond issue referendum. - . My family and I lived in Edina for five years and moved to Wayzata in June of 1999. We missed the parks, schools and people of Edina so muoh.that we sold our Wayzata home after 1 year and moved back to Edina in July of 1999. We live at 4721 West 601" Street. We are very active in ECFE and our oldest daughter will start kindergarten in September at Concord. We enjoy going to the football games as a family. As a parent, it is a terrifying walk to go the two blocks to the field. The cars come screaming onto 60"' Street from Valley Viewand make a rapid turn onto School Road to the Concord Elementary parking lot. We have started to drive the two blocks because our stroller has had so many near misses. I am very disappointed that no traffic study has been done to see the stress to the roads, children in the surrounding neighborhoods safety and additional police force needed. If the referendum is approved, sidewalks are necessary to get my child safely to and from the elementary school. • Please provide the data to me that was used to ensure that the football dome would make a profit. How many days a year will the OP Street neighborhood expect to see this type of traffic? • If you are adding over 4,000 stadium seats and only 130 additional parking spaces to the area, who will clean up my yard from trash and debris every W. • How many additional police officers will be on duty to patrol the Community Center neighborhoods from theft, abduction, speeding and loitering after events? • Has a study been done on the additional accidents at the Benton /100 interchange? I see car accidents there on a weekly basis. The following are the individual items on the referendum and my support, ideas for improvement or disapproval. Kuhlman Stadium - Disapprove; This field belongs at the High School where the students are located and the property actually has the space. I propose regrading and continued use for Southview football, track and soar. ECC - Base improvements - Approve all but South Parking relocation - will not be needed without Kuhlman Stadium approval Three Gym Field House — As long as Normandale School and ECFE are in the Community Center, the Gyms should not be added for public rentals. Concord Elementary Gym addition — Approve The added classroom space underneath could house Normandale School Permanently Southview, Community Center Gyms, lobby and Concessions — Approve Community Center Theater — Approve — If only used for Community Arts Events — Not for big productions. And definitely not during school hours. Kuhlman Stadium Optional Improvements— Opposed to students playing on artificial turf! Tennis Courts — Approve Edina High School Improvements —Approve Fieldhouse Incremental Additions . Approve Adding three Gyms — If they are never rented out to other cities, basketball camps, etc during school hours. Project Management Costs — You left out additional safety costs, additional maintenance costs, additional road repair costs and additional law suit costs. I am a firm believer that Edina has the best public schools, and sports in the state. I love being a part of the community. Education needs to be the cornerstone of all improvements made on school grounds. How does having adult softball and volleyball leagues help the city? Does making money on school grounds from a stadium help our children learn more and do better in school? Is the safety of our children worth the money that will be made off of the stadium rental? Does it help our traffic problems and property values? If the council moves forward with the referendum as it stands, they are not representing the feelings of what the majority of the community is founded on and feels is best. I strongly urge all members of the Edina City Council to vote no on the referendum as it stands. If you are unable to do that, offer a line item vote to the community on how to achieve the intended goals in a more mature, educated and professional manner. Thank you very much for addressing the above bullet points in a timely fashion, and for considering my opinions seriously. Sincerely,. Jeri er West t55424 Street MN (952)920~3520 maria fesenmaier 05/26/00 To whom it may concern, Please submit the attached documents for public record.

THE CITY COUNCIL IS VOTING ON MAY 30TH TO PROCEED WITH A REFERENDUM THAT WILL DESTROY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S PEACE & QUIET. ARE YOU READY ? ?? The referendum Includes a 3- gymnasium Fieldhouse and a removeable dome for Kuhlman Field. While the need for additional sports facilities In Edina Is evident, THE COMMUNITY CENTER AREA IS TOO SMALL FOR A YEAR -ROUND SPORTS COMPLEXIII CAN'T WE FIND A SITE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK? ACCESS TO THE AREA IS PRIMARILY THROUGH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. DO YOU WANT MORE CONGESTION? DO YOU WANT CARS & BUSES STREAMING DOWN YOUR STREET UNTIL 10 OR 11 P.M. EVERY NIGHT? DO YOU WANT YOUR PROPERTY TAXES TO GO UP WHILE YOUR PROPERTY'S VALUE GOES DOWN? The City Council has NOT considered the Impact of their proposal on our streets and neighborhoods. No environmental impact studies have been done. Yet every school and park Improvement has been tied to a 3 gymnasium fleldhouse and improvements to Kuhlman Field at the Community Center site. There is NOT adequate parking for the current programs at the current facilities. One hundred+ additional parking spaces wouldn't alleviate the current parking shortage during special events. THERE IS NO FREEWAY ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER COMPLEX COMING FROM THE SOUTH OR THE WEST - - -- EXCEPT THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOODS111 YET THERE IS NO MONEY ALLOCATED FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY, INCREASED ACCESS, OR EVEN STOP LIGHTS AT THE BENTON AVENUE EXIT & HIGHWAY 100. AND THEY WANT TO CRAM A SPORTS COMPLEX BETWEEN 2 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THEN RENT THE FACILITIES OUT TO ANYONE IN THE STATE FOR PRACTICE AND STATE TOURNAMENTS. WILL OUR CHILDREN BE SAFE ? ??

We have owned the home for 47 years, since it was built, in 1953. It was one of the very first in the neighborhood, directly across from the parking lot, adjacent to the Southview Middle School, on Concord Avenue. We watched the school and surrounding parks being built. We voted our tax dollars to do so, for the better of our choice of life, the environment, and most importantly - OUR CHILDREN. We, and most of our neighbors, were informed two night ago, that a meeting was held to determine the next course of action in a vote to create and complete a study for the new recreational facilities and renovation to surrounding fields, buildings, school pool, etc... I can not tell you how upset and irate we all were to find that this meeting was less than publicly announced (swept quietly under the rug) and that we only have until 5/25/00 via mail to respond. As you should know, dozens of us canvassed the surrounding area passing out flyers to inform all of those who were not aware of the issues. Of the hundreds of homes we contacted -only two were in favor of the changes. They were both retired folks planning on moving any way. The main purpose of this message, is to inform you of our position on this proposed referendum. We do not oppose the entire package. We support several issues with minor modifications. Please see the below items of concern, and add our response to the public record. Also please note, that we do plan a rally, continued involvement since you are asking us to pay for the changes /upgrades, and possible legal intervention if necessary. Thank you for your time and attention. Many of us look forward to seeing you on 05/30/00 at the meeting, and please remember our concerns affect our decisions at the next voting poll. Maria Fesenmaier 5713 Concord Avenue Edina MN 55424 612.922.6734 (h) 612.591.4106 (w) maria.fesenmaier @wcom.com PLEASE TAKE US SERIOUSLY, WE WANT TO BE HEARD BEFORE TOO MUCH TIME - ENERGY - AND MONEY IS SPENT UNWISELY. 1) Dome over a new Kuhlman field- Not in this neighborhood, not year round. Build it somewhere else. Since it is -to be used for other scholastic events -build it on all the extra non - residential grounds around the current Edina High School. Or how about over by Braemar arena ?They will have:the room and parking and highway access. Do not build it in a highly populated residential area that needs more roads, sidewalks (hand icap'accessible), city cleanup service, Police enforcement manpower availability. traffic control, access to highways, sufficient parking already in place.. Do not make our streets unsafe_ - year round - for our children. With increased traffic, (which is already getting speeds thatstill need slowing down), and multiple sporting events -we are inviting fast driving, congestion, 'tailgating, reckless or unsafe drivers that love to drink and party in association with sporting events - Check the police statistics. 2) Upgrading the gym facilities for Concord Elementary School: Not a bad idea -those students could really benefit, but we need actual numbers and design plans to decide. 3) Upgrading the Southview School pool: Vot a bad idea -those students could really benefit but we need actual numbers and design plans to decide. 4) 770 Seat auditorium: Only if it is a secured facility, and if we have actual numbers and design plans to decide -but probably not. Build it by the dome you want. They will have the room and parking and highway access. 5) Artificial turf: You are posing a greater threat to the safety of our children. If your proposed vendor say's it is safe -I want to see tests and results and a second opinion from at least 5 other vendors. 6) 3 Gymnasium fieldhouse and running track: No, we already have a track. No other building can be supported at this site -move them to the other new dome site. They will have the room and parking and highway access. 7) New south parking lot to replace McCarthy Field: No. Why replace a great usable filed to park cars at a dome that will not be built on this site, and that have no traffic lights or adequate access to the highway? 8) Ask me to pay for all of it with taxes: 7oubt it -but let us see the numbers. In response to certain parts of the proposal, I have annotated our suggestions next to the proposal findings. See below: Community Center Campus Predesign Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City of Edina Minneapolis -based Decision Resources in March surveyed approximately 400 randomly selected residents to determine which elements of the.proposal the community supports, if any. The surveying firm provided to the Council May 2: (results in part, direet from the City Edina publishing). Methodology: Decision Resources, Ltd., contacted 400 randomly selected households in the City of Edina. Residents were interviewed by telephone between March 15 and 22, 2000. The average interview took 19 minutes. The result of this sample may be projected to the universe of all adult residents of the City of Edina within f 5.0% in 95 out of 100 cases. Residential Demographics: The typical Edina resident had lived in the city for 14.1 years. While 24% had resided there for five years or less, 22% had been in the community for over 30 years. The median adult age of residents was calculated at 53.5 years old. Twenty-nine percent of the sample were under 45 years old, while 32% o were 65 years or older. Women outnumbered men by 8% in the sample. Seniors_ resided in 34% of the households; in fact, exclusively senior households composed 23 %o.of the city's households. School -aged children were in 30% of the households and pre - schoolers could be found in 15% of them. Thirty percent of the households reported membership in a private health club. Bond Referendum Components: Residents were initially queried about their support fora tax increase to undertake 25.5 million dollars of recreational facility additions and improvements at the Community. Center Campus and Edina Public Schools Campuses. Three proposals received impressive majorities of support: increased parking at the Community Center,-renovation and remodeling of the Community Center Auditorium, and renovation of the swimming pool at South View Middle School and either construction of a new swimming pool or renovation of the current pool at Valley View Middle School. In each case, at least 59% supported the proposal and less than 21 % opposed•it. 4arrower majorities were registered in support of the two projects: additional gymnasiums at the Community Center and Concord School and upgrading of the soccer, softball and baseball fields at Edina High School. Weak support or outright opposition was expressed on three components: a 49 % -33% split supported lighting the tennis courts for night play at the Community Center; a 38 % -34% verdict opposed renovation of the Kuhlman Field Stadium, including artificial turf; and, a 43 % -35% judgement opposed an air - supported fabric dome at the Kuhlman Field Stadium during winter months. Residents were next queried about their support for a tax increase to undertake 4.5 million dollars of recreational facility additions and improvements at City Parks. Four proposals received significant support: upgrading of existing fencing, parking lots and tennis courts; construction of additional trails and improvement of existing trails; installment of fire protection systems at Braemar Arena and two historical buildings; and improvements of pathways at three parks and provision of additional pathways at Cornelia School Park. In each case, over 60% favored the project and less than 30% opposed it. A narrower majority, 53 %, favored upgrading softball, baseball and soccer fields, while a 35 % -18% plurality opted for development of Van Valkenburg neighborhood park and playground area. Only one proposal was opposed: by a 32 % -23% margin, residents rejected a tax increase for replacement of the Courtney Fields concessions building. /, iI< <' a 1i iJ r �' Iii . �i< <� a �� "� u! ' • i ffii ii i� ��� �_' i /i'I T 1751 1 r Referendum Atmospherics: The typical Edina resident would support a property tax increase of $138.00 per year for a plan to expand and improve recreational facilities in the City of Edina. Seventeen percent, however, would support "no tax increase" for this purpose. But, on the other hand, 16% would support property tax increases of $250.00 annually. In reaction to a 30.0 million - dollar bond referendum proposal for building of additional gymnasiums, renovation of sports stadiums and the community auditorium, trail expansions and improvements, improvement of sports fields, and upgrading of swimming pool facilities, a 60 % -33% majority favored the package. Support was principally based on "need," "benefit to the community," "maintenance of property values," and "acceptable cost." Opposition stemmed from "lack of need," "too comprehensive of a proposal," and "high taxes." Our r"onse• How could 60% - 30% mg(jadU,favor the package, if try do not have an accurate "picture" explained to them? These statistics are very vague and have little integrity Run the numbers again, in order to make an accurate decision.. Summary and Conclusions: 1) Edina residents were very satisfied with the current park and recreations system. They gave it very high ratings both overall and for maintenance and upkeep. In fact, 60% felt the system was "better" than any of those in neighboring suburbs. Almost 80% regularly used the system, and 96% believed there was a strong tie between and extensive and attractive park and recreation system and residential property values. 2) Walking and running facilities play a special role for most residents; almost one -half of the sample listed those activities as their favorite outdoor leisure time activity. Similarly, there was a marked preference for individual recreational activities over group activities. 3) A key information deficit, though, was noted in the perception that current facilities met residential demand and were generally not crowded. The City may wish to inform residents more fully about the existing gaps between demand and availability. 4) Residents were especially keen about several expansions and improvements: renovation and remodeling of the Community Center Auditorium, increased parking at the Community Center, renovation of the swimming pool at South View Middle School and either construction of a new pool or renovation of the current pool at Valley View Middle School, construction of additional trails and improvement of existing trails, installation of fire protection systems at three facilities, improvement of pathways at three parks and additional pathways at Cornelia School Park, upgrade existing fencing, parking lots and tennis courts in need of repair or replacement 5) In every case, at least 59% favored the proposal and opposition was below 30 %. Two proposals, though were somewhat controversial: renovation of Kuhlman Field Stadium, including artificial turf for the field and widening of the track; air supported fabric dome at Kuhlman Field Stadium during winter months. Our r=onse• 30% is very high -take it seriou* bgfore the matter reaches expensive legal resident intervention. 6) The 30.0 million - dollar bond proposal stands a reasonable chance of passage if a strong information and grassroots advocacy campaign is assembled. The comfort level for a tax increase of a typical resident was $138.00 per year, consistent with the 30.0 million - dollar bond proposal.

I know the community very well and that is why I want to live here. Since we have closed on our home at the end of February we have been notified of two costly tax raising proposals. We are getting a new road on School Road for the total of $2300 per. resident which we believe is because of the increased traffic that we already receive from the current school activities. And now the proposal for an incredibly large public athletic and recreational facility that will be right behind our home. We moved to Edina because the taxes are reasonable, most of the land is developed, the homes are older and built with quality, there are areas of grass to walk on that have not been developed (i.e. ECC area and Concord School area), there are wonderful parks, beautiful gardens, the educational systems is top -notch and we like the neighborhoods. We do not intend to move again. We both attended the City Council Meeting and MANY of our questions were answered. We realized that Edina does have a need for many updates to the existing facilities. We are worried about the size of the facility that is planned behind us. It seems to be to big for the space. We have some questions that we believe were not answered during the meeting and they should be addressed before moving ahead on this project. Have you assessed the impact to the residents of the proposed areas of the recreational facility? Obviously there will be more noise, traffic, lights at night, and "no parking signs" in our front yards. How often will there be traffic from people who don't live in Edina? Will it be state -wide traffic? Do you realize that the neighborhood that will be affected already hears noise from the football field and the highway? Isn't that enough for one neighborhood? 2. Have you thought about updating and renovating ALL our existing facilities on a smaller scale instead of developing one gigantic facility? Are there any other areas of Edina that would be better suited for this? Maybe somewhere that does not affect so many residents? Where would these areas be? 3. Do you realize that you are going build something that is so expensive that you have to go outside to financially support the facility? But, you are making the residents pay for it. Then they are the people who will have to live with the increased traffic, noise and the many other problems that this incredibly large facility will create. You are asking the Edina residents to pay for.this facility, so are we going to get refunds back after you make money from this facility? 4. If the maps is not correct or the numbers how can you move ahead and think about passing such a referendum? When my husband and I think about doing improvements to our home, we don't decide to do something before we know what we want and before we know what the cost is going to be. Especially if it was someone else's money we were using. The fact that the cul -de -sac was open on the map is a huge concern to all neighbors in the School Road area. If this was a mistake, then fix it before even voting on it. And, many of us will feel better about it. Also, the costs estimates should be accurate too! That seems like a lot of money for a concession stand. Something that I have learned in life is that you don't have to be the biggest to be the best. A solid community that spends their money wisely and supports their children be teaching them to use what they have to its fullest is incredibly important. We believe that this proposed project is excessive and unwarranted. We would like you to look into another options of updating ALL our facilities for our children. Let's not make one location so big that we have to look outside our community to defray operating costs and put a major burden on the community. It just doesn't make sense. We already are dealing with noise from Highway 100 and the lights and sounds from the football field. This is seasonal and that is fine with us, but not year round with much more traffic. Plus, the wide open areas of grass that exists around the area is so nice to look at and walk through. We enjoy watching the High School and Junior High students practicing out in the open green grass field. It also gives the families in the area a place to fly kites and play. Please preserve our open spaces of grass in our community. We are interested in having the city renovate the existing facilities if the community based activities need it and it does not have an extremely negative impact on the residents. Also, maybe the Normandale School should be moved to its own location just like all our other elementary schools. Please don't jump into this "great plan" without keeping us in mind... the people who have to deal with this daily and pay for it. We already have burdens of noise, pollution, and traffic from the existing facilities, Highway 100 and the Concord school bus traffic.

Because of the number of people at the public hearing on May 16, 2000, EGAA did not have an opportunity to speak. We want to take this opportunity to let you know that we think the proposed additions and upgrades to the existing sports facilities in Edina are very necessary. We use gym space for both our girls' house league basketball program and our volleyball program. We have been offering these sports for enough years that we are able to get gym space, but the space is not always when and where we need it. We cannot schedule season start and finish dates, game times and locations based on what is best for the girls or the sports but must base our decisions on when we can get a gym. We are also working to start a lacrosse program. One of our major obstacles is finding a time when there is field space available. EGAA programs would be enhanced if Edina had more gym space and playing fields. In keeping with our stated purpose of developing a varied athletic program for the children of Edina we also support the other components of the referendum. If our community wants our children to have the opportunity to play a variety of recreational sports, we must provide enough safe, well- designed spaces for that opportunity to be a reality.

On behalf of the 35 members of the Board of Directors of the EBA, I want to convey to you our support for the entire project and our commitment to work to see that the referendum for the project is passed by the voters. We realize that a project of this magnitude raises a number of issues, and that there are no perfect solutions. While this project would be good for basketball in Edina, we believe that the ultimate benefit and value of the project is that it would be good for the community as a whole. We commend the joint effort between the City and the Board of Education. We also commend the efforts being made to answer the concerns of all citizen groups. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world. Given fiscal and space considerations, compromises have to be made. The project will not be the perfect answer for everyone, and probably not for anyone. However, we strongly believe that the project in its present form will serve the overall best interests of our community. This year we anticipate having an excess of 1100 Edina children participate in our programs. We anticipate having more than 200 Edina volunteer coaches, most of whom will be parents and high school students. We are ready and eager to contact the members of the basketball community and to work with all members of the community to see that this project is a success and the referendum is passed. We urge you to move forward with this project with all due speed so the community can reap the benefits of the project for many years to come. Sincerely, fuk u:� (o Neil A.

The students at Valley View and the High School need space for class rooms. Without this referendum I am not sure where they can possibly find room for classes when they are already using janitor's closets, storage rooms, stages, and lunch rooms. It is my understanding that this is projected to continue for the next 10 years. It was also my understanding that actual facilities as shown at the Mayl6th meeting were not in the final draft stage. I was very disappointed that the few chose to poke holes in something that was just a working draft. I know that by the time this reaches a ballot stage it will be refined. Please don't let a few destroy what is the best for the majority. The City of Edina needs this Referendum to pass.

Q 0 4/13/00 3:22 PM May 24, 2000 Edina City Council 4801 West 50`h Street Edina, MN 55424 Dear City Council Members: We are writing to object to the plan to hold a bond referendum for a multitude of projects at the Edina Community Center site. We do not disagree that there is a need for additional recreational facilities in the community. However, it is clear to us that too much of the need is being met by expanding facilities at the Edina Community Center and surrounding property. An overwhelming array of new and expanded facilities, fields, and parking lots is planned for this one location without even studying the impact on the surrounding neighborhood and infrastructure. We believe that a wholistic look at the total impact of these projects is necessary. The Community Center site was originally planned as a site for schools. Its purpose was educational and, as such, it has lived harmoniously with the residential neighborhoods that exist on three of its four sides. Occasional community athletic events have, to date, only minimally gone beyond the school programs for which the site was intended. Now you are proposing a comprehensive addition of gyms, field houses, fields, and parking lots that are designed primarily to meet the needs not of the schools but of a large number of sports, associations, and age groups. These new facilities will change the usage of the Community Center and surrounding property at different times of the day, different days of the week, and different seasons of the year; the impact of these changes has not been studied and determined. The impacts of this usage will be of an entirely different magnitude than was intended for this location. Plans for mitigating the traffic, noise, congestion, security, and other impacts have not been prepared. Altemative solutions that would better distribute facilities around the community into non- residential areas better designed to accommodate constant usage from a larger pool of users attending tournaments and other attractions have not been adequately considered. The people most affected by these plans have not been involved in the planning effort. SEAL MAY 2 5 2000 RECEIVED BY For all of these reasons, we strongly encourage you to 1) wait to hold a referendum until more complete planning has been completed, 2) involve the neighbors in the planning process, 3) consider alternatives better suited for the utilization contemplated for these new facilities, 4) study the total impact a this and alternative proposals on the surrounding neighborhoods, and 5) study the ability of these proposals to actually meet the needs of the sports and associations to which the proposals attempt to respond. Taking more time will also allow the affected parties more ample time to understand what is being proposed. Following these proposals is the only responsible thing to do; rushing to referendum will leave people worried and plans incomplete. Please take the time that is necessary to do it right. As further evidence to the need to reconsider the Community Center site proposal, let us list a few of the speck impacts that need to be studied further. First, access to the site is from residential streets on three sides. Second, even with parking expansion, parking will likely be inadequate for many of the tournaments and special events that would be held, just as parking spills over into our neighborhoods now during football games. Third, the security of our homes and the safety of our children will be threatened by the high and increased level of vehicular and foot traffic that will occur on our neighborhood streets. Fourth, the broad -based usage of the Community Center properties brought about by appealing to the needs of many sports, associations, and age groups and by renting the facilities to outside groups will attract facility participants with less loyalty to the community and concern for the surrounding neighborhoods, thereby increasing even further traffic, parking, and security concerns. And, lastly for right now, Kuhlman Field does not seem adequate as a site for a bubble -domed facility for a variety of reasons. We encourage you to adopt the five recommendations presented in this letter. Sincerely, �Q,ala✓j Ml. D Richard W. Diercks Karen S. Diercks 4801 School Road Edina, MN 55424 May 24, 2000 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mayor and City Council members: I am the parent of a second grader at Normandale Elementary. Many of us at Normandale appreciate -the school district's recent efforts to involve parents-in discussion about the community center project. If, however, it seems many parents remain concerned about the impact of the project, it is probably because they suspect they won't. have an opportunity to fundamentally shape a project that will substantially affect their children. In contrast, I sat through a three -hour discussion in city hall chambers in early April, at which the Fairview Southdale expansion was discussed in appropriately great detail. We touched and examined the stone for the parking ramp, asked whether there would be signage on the new skyway across France Ave., explored whether Fairview would help ameliorate potential traffic problems and pay for additional signage as a result of its expansion, reviewed the nature of lighting inside the ramp, and even talked about whether there would be flower pots on the roof of the ramp. There was even a traffic study done by a consulting engineer. The City Council deemed it necessary to know such exhaustive detail prior to approval, so that community and neighbors' concerns could be addressed, and any potentially negative impacts identified. This level of detail has been absent in the community center project. I support additional gym space in Edina. But I believe we should move judiciously. I also recognize that the strongest supporters of the project believe any problems can be worked out later, once the referendum has been passed. But there are significant questions remaining, so that one must wonder what it is people are voting for in the referendum. I urge you to thoughtfully consider the impact of the project from the perspectives of traffic, security, and parking issues. Please conduct the kind of professional-, independent impact assessment which the Normandale Elementary Site Council has asked for in its recommendation. Thank you. Sincerely, -- Mark Lofthus 5205 Danen's Drive Edina, MN 55439 Fql *y2 6 2000 B Y �Fd Y CAF SEAL SAY 2 g 2000 RED IVE gY �� qe-L"A jO U4 uxv�d o m u oo dill' 0-,& > . c� �� ao j o 6t, ` t 'o. , Dennis Maetzold, Mayor City of Edina Edina, MN Dear Mayor; 2 2��0 REC 1 J ED 8y i May 18,2000 I attended the hearing on May 16, regarding the proposed Recreational Referendum, and it raised several comments and/or questions which I think should be considered at your council meeting on May 30th. Firstly, since all of my kids have long since graduated, I was unaware of the size of the French Immersion school. Since it is equivalent to the other elementary schools, it would indicate that traffic,safety and security considerations should be similar. Having taken some computer courses at the Community center, I can assure you that parking is a problem even during the day.Adding the additional recreational facilities including additional gyms will certainly aggravate the situation. The question of putting the gyms at another location has not received a response in either the Edina Sun, nor at the hearing. What other locations have been investigated, and what were the reasons for their rejection.Until these facts are communicated, the questions will remain. Possibly, a solution would be to relocate the French Immersion school. Has this been considered. The general consensus seems to be in favor of the referendum if the activities at Kuhnan Field and the Community center could be reduced or relocated. It would be a shame for the whole project to voted down because that portion was not satisfactory. This suggests that the residents be able to vote for the positive portions of the project, and the balance either be rejected or postponed until a satisfactory solution has been found. Incidentally has the possibility of purchasing property from Our Lady of Grace been explored? I'm just grabbing at straws. Aside from this referendum, you certainly have had a busy year what with the Eden Ave project and the Fairview Hospital expansion adding to your normal workload. From my observation you and the council have handled these matters in a very professional manner. Sincerely C--yC9 —DN I V,\ C�P- via -S-39 May 23, 2000 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 West 50t'' Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Edina City Council Members, We are writing in regard to the proposed referendum to expand the Community Center and sports facilities currently under consideration by the Edina City Council. As lifelong Edina residents with three young children, we support the need to upgrade and expand the Community Center and sports facilities within Edina. However, we are concerned that the Community is approaching this significant project in haste. Our primary concern is that there has been little consideration given as to the impact (safety, traffic, parking, construction related issues) on one of our public schools, Normandale French Immersion if the expansion occurs at the Community Center. Although extra curricular activities are important, academics must be our priority. In addition, there are many other children at the Community Center and the site daycare facility throughout the day who would also be impacted. We feel that the current proposed plan poses too much risk to the children at this facility and significant potential liability to the City. We would like to see further consideration and research of other locations, such as the High School (who participate in a majority of the sports and tournament play) for the expansion. We don't understand how the referendum can be proposed without first completing detailed traffic, safety and parking studies to understand how these issues will bear on the facilities layout as well as the cost of the project. This is an already busy traffic area that would be further stressed by the expansion. Where would additional revenues come to cover these potential significant costs? Again, we support the need for additional facilities with the Community. However, we would like to see significantly more research and consideration given to what will serve the needs of all groups considered ( Normandale French Immersion, the soccer association, the basketball association etc.). Then we would be more confident that the best solution will be achieved. Thank you for your consideration.

City Council, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Keprios, As you may know, I was the first parent to write and speak to you about the safety and access problems associated with the Community Center Project. I have attached a letter and materials that I hope will be helpful in protecting Normandale Elementary School and the other children's programs at the Community Center if this project goes forward. I also want to be as brief as possible in providing you with my opinions on the project in the hope that I might influence the City Council to vote against proceding with the referendum in its current form: 1) Thank you for the survey and public hearing. 2) The survey indicates that a strong "Vote Yes" campaign will be required. 3) The public hearing indicates that an even stronger "Vote Yes" campaign will be required because there will clearly be an anti- referendum campaign. 4) It is not in the best interests of the City to hold a referendum which divides the City. 5) It is not in the best intersts of the City to hold a referendum which will produce a large group of long -term losers regardless of the outcome (Community Center users, including children, the Community Center neighborhood, and perhaps the Soccer Association if the referendum passes; basketball and swimming families if the referendum fails). 6) If the Community Center is to be the site for more high school and adult activites, Normandale Elementary School and other children's programs should be moved. 7) If Normandale Elementary School and the other children's programs are to remain at the Community Center, other homes should be found for high school and adult activities. 8) The $500,000 donation should not be a factor in site selection for the gymnasiums. V- 9) If the City goes ahead with the referendum, the 3- gymnasium fieldhouse, the public theatre and Kuhlman field should be presented as one question and the rest of the referendum as a second question. 10) If the City goes ahead with the referendum, the children in the Community Center must be protected as fully as possible. 11) Protecting the children in the Community Center should not be based on hours of use because program needs change. 12) The children in the Community Center should be protected by architectural designs and technologies that enable the new facilities to used while. there are children in the building. 13) Protecting the children in the Community Center will require professional assessments, professional solutions and significant dollars that should be included in the referendum. 14) The School District will not undertake Item 13. 15) Thank you for your dedicated service - I know that this has been a difficult referendum that has required a great deal of time and energy. Sincerely, Kathy J. Christensen, Ph.D. �Cr� SEAL MAY 2000 B RECE�/,Ep Y - 1 _......... _ r May 29, 2000 Mayor and Members of the City Council Gordon Hughes, City Manager John Keprios, Director of Parks and Recreation Edina City Hall 4801 W. 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mayor Maetzold, Members of the City Council, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Keprios, I have attached a copy of a letter that I sent to the School District's Safety Committee with respect to proper evaluation and costs related to some of the concerns raised by Normandale parents. By the time that the Safety Committee met for the first time, the School District had already approved the joint facilities portion of the referendum. The vote for approval also came the night before the first meeting sponsored by Normandale Elementary School to gather parents' concerns and questions about the Community Center Project. Now that the School Board has approved the project, I assume that all modifications to the referendum are in the hands of the City Council. The attached letter contains information that has implications not only for the safety and health of children in the Community Center but also for the cost of the project. As you are aware, unsolicited input from parents has resulted in one security- related modification to the auditorium that has already increased the estimated costs for the public theatre by 50% without yet having arrived at a satisfactory design solution. I have attached a list of 34 questions and concerns that parents have raised.* There are no studies available from the School Board/District in any of the areas of concern raised by parents:. While parents are good at identifying some concerns, there are likely to be other impacts of the project that can only be identified by the appropriate professionals. There is no doubt that proper study of these areas of concern will lead to the identification of impacts that must be corrected. It is hard to imagine that these impacts will be correctable without significant costs. In the interest of insuring that no harm will result from the proposed Community Center Project, I hope that the City will see to it that appropriate studies are completed before moving ahead with the referendum. In the interest of providing full information to the voter, I hope that the City will develop cost estimates for the necessary corrections in the areas of impact. Regardless of whether these costs are included in the referendum or assumed by the School District, they are integral costs of the project that the taxpayer will eventually assume. For an informed vote, these costs should be presented to the public. *There is a longer list of questions and concerns collected by the Normandale Task Force that should be available through the School District. Sincerely, ��' ux� Kathy Christensen, Ph.D. cc: League of Women Voters, Edina MAY 3 0 2000 REDEIVED B Y � -� A V May 9, 2000 Jay Willemsen Chair, ECC Safety Committee Edina Public Schools Dear Mr. Willemsen I wish to thank you for creating a committee to address safety, security and other issues related to the proposed Community Center Project. Over the last week, as a member of the Normandale Task Force on the Community Center Project, I have begun to learn more about the areas of concern to Normandale parents: security, fire safety, parking, bus safety, parent pick -up and drop -off, accessibility, traffic safety, playground safety, air quality, auditorium noise, and construction impact. The Task Force has not completed the process of gathering input on these topics, but I feel that a few of the pieces of information that I obtained are important for early consideration by the Safety Committee. I appreciate that you may already have familiarity with the information that I am providing, but I did not feel that I was in a good position to judge which, if any, pieces of information might be new to you. I am writing as an individual parent and not as a representative of the Task Force. The most important piece of information I gathered is related to security. I spoke with an officer in law enforcement in Minneapolis. He is a former Edina teacher who has a strong background in educational administration. He is very familiar with the Community Center building and indicated that he believes that the building needs a serious, comprehensive security assessment. He said that mixed usage in a facility this big introduces security risks. He described schools as trusting environments in which it is easy for someone to take advantage. He mentioned theft and abduction as risks. He said that there is a nationwide trend for increased security at schools and community centers. He said that he did not know of anyone locally who could do the kind of assessment that is required in this type of facility. He highly recommended Kenneth Trump, who is a nationally recognized school security expert. I will forward to you information on the firm which Mr. Trump heads. His firm also has a website at http: \ \schoolsecurity.org. This officer's perspective is consistent with information in the Guide to Planning School Construction Projects in Minnesota published by the Department of Children, Families and Learning, which indicates that in school buildings with community partnerships sophisticated security systems are indicated. I also spoke with a consultant with excellent credentials in the areas of accessibility and playground safety. Julie Quarvey- Peterson has been assessing schools for over 20 years on disability issues. She is also a nationally certified playground inspector and consultant. She may be reached at 374 -3031. In addition, I was informed that there is the potential for significant increases in construction costs associated with meeting indoor air quality standards in the existing structure during and after construction. These costs are related to managing any hazardous substances (e.g., asbestos, fiberglass, lead paint) and insuring adequate fresh air flow. I was told that problems are most common when existing heating, cooling and ventilation systems are adapted for use in new structures. Similarly, I was told that that there is the potential for significant I. increases in construction costs associated with with creating safe and convenient access for school buses, parents, and students. I hope that this information is helpful as the Safety Committee begins its work. I would be happy to answer any questions that you or members of the Safety Committee may have about this information. Thank you again for creating this important committee.

Professional school security assessments provide educators an audit of existing security conditions and recommendations for school safety improvements at the building and/or district levels from a professional school security perspective. School security assessments serve as a: ' EB EB 18 13 ■ risk management tool for reducing security IB ® a] M threats and liability IB � M 91 spublic relations tool to communicate a district's L commitment to school security prior to a crisis. r Assessments are district - specific to address your unique concerns and needs, not pre - packaged comments and forms with a few name changes. Should we expect recommendations to focus on security hardware and manpower? Page 1 of 7 htq ww .schoolsecurity.org/consultants /security - assessments.ht 7/4/90 r Sch )ecurity Assessments and School Safety a 2, of 7 As school security professionals, we recognize the unique needs of elementary and secondary schools, along with their differences from other environments when applying security concepts. We understand that educators wish to take a balanced, rational approach to improving security without adopting a knee-jerk, siege -like mentality. In conducting an assessment, we approach the process with the idea that security needs and strategies often vary community to community, district to district, and even school to school within a district. While factors identified in our assessments for some districts may result in recommendations for security equipment and/or staffing, we believe that even then, these tools are a supplement to, but not a substitute for, an overall comprehensive security program. A predisposition toward equipment or any other single- approach, in our experience, is unfair, and potentially unnecessarily costly, to schools. This camera, for example, could cost you , unnecessary - expenses - or it could save your school thousands of dollars. An assessment of your unique security needs would help you manage your limited resources effectively. So what areas are evaluated in an assessment? Areas reviewed in a professional school security assessment by National School Safety and Security Services can include: Crisis preparedness Security /school police staffing and operations Security operational policies and procedures http: / /www. schoolsecurity. org/ consultants /security - assessments. html 7/4/90 School Security Assessments and School Safety Physical security measures (including access control, intrusion detection systems, inventory and key control, perimeter /night security, physical design, and many related areas) Security education and training Linking of security with prevention and intervention services Personnel and internal security Community collaboration and ownership ...And much more!!! What methods are used in National School Saft and Security Services' assessments? We do not believe that a 10- minute "walk- through" of a school can solely identify the security needs and appropriate practices needed to improve school security. We also do not believe in "paralysis by analysis," i.e., an exaggerated, lengthy study for the sake of studying something (often for the sake of creating additional costly consultant hours and bills). Our school- specific security experience has allowed us to create a structured, specialized assessment process which includes, but is not necessarily limited to: Analysis of policies and procedures Surveys and structured interviews of staff, students, and/or members of the school community Crime and discipline data review Page 3 of 7 http vw .schoolsecurity.org/consultants /security- assessments.hti 7/4/90 A ti Sch ►ecurity Assessments and School Safety e 4 of 7 Examination of physical facilities Analysis of related news, crime, and other public information sources School - specific analytical methods To save you time and money, we provide a pre- assessment checklist to help us identify specific information for analysis off -site, as well as to focus our on -site assessment, so that your district does not pay for unnecessary travel and on -site expenses. What should we expect for a, tnal product and how can we use it ? Findings and recommendations are submitted in a final written report to school officials. The final assessment report can be used as: An independent source of professional information to be used in formulating realistic activities, and measurable goals and objectives for these activities, for short-term security improvements and long -term strategic plans for enhancing school safety. (Our security assessments typically provide detailed recommendations. Some of these recommendations can be done immediately and others will require a longer time to plan and implement. The final security assessment report can be used to deal with both short -term improvements and as a strategic plan for improvements during upcoming school months and years.)

Our home is across the street from Southview Middle School, and thus we would be substantially impacted by this proposed project. In our view, the site is too small for the size of the project. We believe that there is already too much traffic and congestion in our neighborhood at certain peak hours and for special events. We object to our property taxes being increased for this project, which will likely decrease our property value and decrease the amount of open space in the neighborhood.

Based on information related at the last City Council meeting, adequate planning has not been undertaken and considering a referendum is premature. While we agree the facilities envisioned could benefit our community, we are particularly concerned about safety and traffic flow issues. We are also concerned that funds have not been included to deal with these issues and that residents most likely to be affected by the new facilities have had little opportunity for input. Our home is located across the street from the parking lot and North entrance of the Edina Community Center.' We're concerned that not enough attention has been paid to the impact that this project would have on the large community to the north of Southview Lane, including Sherwood, Dalrymple, St. John's and Concord Avenues. Traffic in this area, particularly at the entrance to the northeast parking lot of the Community Center, is already extremely heavy with virtually no traffic control. The plan as presented adds parking in this area, but does nothing to manage the increased traffic, as well as increased danger for pedestrians and bicyclists that this will create. Parking will also be a growing issue. Overflow parking already spills into and endangers our neighborhood and we cannot support any plan that increases these problems. It doesn't seem to us that enough emphasis has been placed on exploring alternative locations for these facilities. If school property is to be used, the large amounts of open land surrounding the Edina Senior High School would seem more suitable. There should also be land available at the Braemer Golf Course complex (even if this would mean losing a few of the 27 golf holes there now) to accommodate a facility that would benefit the entire community. If in fact, there is not space available at an alternative location, then, as a community, we should learn to live without this "amenity." We're also surprised that the council would put forward a plan of this scale without more comprehensive cost figures. As presented at the May 16'h hearing, the estimate was full of cost "guesses" and conjecture. Asking us to commit to a "budget" of $31 million with the comment that these figures are mostly guesses, only points out how poorly developed this plan is. We urge you to delay placing this matter to a referendum vote until a safer, more responsible, comprehensive plan is presented. We will not be able to support this plan without evidence of better planning and the involvement of professional planning experts befitting a project o . In fact, we will actively work against it.

My concern is with the wisdom that a School Board and City Council would approve a construction project of this magnitude on school property, while school is in session. To consider exposing children, who have an enormous workload, to the relentless, unending distractions of a two year construction zone is contemptible. These 550+ students are learning everything in the language of, and only spoken to, in French. Listening skills, concentration and problem solving development are not possible under such noisy and distracting conditions. I believe that if even one student under performs academically due to the exposure to a community based sports complex construction project; those who we, entrust with the future of our children betray their oath, and the community they believe they're improving. Don't sell out to special interest whose children will NOT be sitting in our class rooms during the construction. I have never, ever heard of any construction- projectof such magnitude, being undertaken in such close proximity to an active Elementary School. Sincerely, Steve en a ��._.

I have lived on Benton Ave. for I I years. Other residents and myself have many times tried to get the city to improve the traffic situation on Benton Ave. The speed at which cars travel on Benton is excessive and it is a cut through for any traffic to cross town hiway (62) and the Edina Highschool. The city has done nothing to improve the. safety of the street. Benton Ave is full of families with small children yet there is no speed enforcement. Now you want to add a sports complex and thereby dramatically increase the amount of traffic down Benton and through our neighborhood. This is unacceptable. It creates a very unsafe environment for all the families and does not at all address the traffic problems it will bring. In addition to this. we do not feel there is a need for an additional sports complex on a site that already has many facilities. This project will adversely affect our children's safety, the peaceful environment of our neighborhood, and our property values. Paying increased; property taxes for a project that will hurt the value of my property is unacceptable.

For about nine months out of the year we are exposed to excessive road traffic and parked cars in our neighborhood as a result of all the activity at Southview Middle School. We tolerate this because we know that for about three months (summer), the traffic decreases to what we would consider reasonable (something one would expect to find in an Edina neighborhood). We believe that the sports complex will not only create a much larger traffic problem during the school year, but will also continue throughout the summer. Last year we totally remodeled our home (large investment) with the intention of staying here for many years. Now we may be faced with a significant increase in our taxes (due to the remodel and the sports complex), and what we will get for this increase is a decrease in the quality of life. This in not acceptable to us, and we hope that you agree. Please do whatever you can to find a more acceptable location for this sports complex (how about using some of Southdale's parking space) Sincerely, John Hacker nn e Kathy Lahti SEAL MAY 30 RECEIVED BY ............................

While the site proposed may have enough area for the buildings in the plan, the over all area does not have the room for adequate parking nor does,the surrounding area have the necessary road network to accommodate the numbers of people and vehicles that would be using the facilities.

Neither my husband nor I were at the open meeting at which this proposal was discussed. We were told about the meeting by a neighbor who was at the meeting. We had not received any notice of the meeting or the proposal. My neighbor told us that they learned at the meeting that a survey was done in which there was strong support for the proposal. Interestingly, we were not alone in our ignorance of this proposal as none of our neighbors had heard about the proposal either, nor were any of us surveyed. I do not believe the Community Center is a good location for a Sports Complex because of the adverse environmental impact it would have on a residential neighborhood. If the Edina community feels the need for a sports complex, have other sites been explored, have environmental impact statements been done? Have you looked at Braemar? I feel the Edina City Council has reached a decision to vote to proceed with a referendum on this proposal without adequately notifying the citizens most impacted by the proposal.

I am totally against this proposal and disturbed by the "sneaky" way it is about to be passed. I suggest the referendum be revised to two separate proposals. One to include only renovations to the schools, which I agree. One for the sports complex. These two topics have no relationship to each other and should be voted on separately. Major research and planning needs to be done before a decision this of this magnatude is made. Some major things to consider are: a. How will this location accommodate all the traffic? b. You are only adding 100 additional parking spots, will the neighborhood streets be expected to accommodate the overflow parking? C. How will you transport (and pay) for the Edina high school students participating in sports, to this sports facility? It makes more sense to put the facility next to the school that will be using it. The high school has better access to the major freeways. d. What will this do to the safety of the children attending Concord Elementary and Southview Middle schools? You are inviting everyone in the state to use this facility. What additional security measures are in the place within these schools? What additional traffic safety measures are planned? I have no children but these are important issues to consider. I don't want my taxes increased to pay fora sports facility that will increase traffic substantially and decrease the value of my home I just bought. I decided to purchase my home, last September, because of the peacefulness the neighborhood. This sports facility will only increase the traffic in my quiet neighborhood.

I do not think this sports facility should be built at the proposed location. Inviting everyone throughout the state would greatly increase the traffic on the neighborhood. This would effect the safety of everyone in the neighborhood as well as the children attending the schools this facility is being placed between. I don not want the increased traffic this would cause through my neighborhood due to the lack of freeway access to this location. Nor, do I want the parking to be placed on the surrounding streets. I ask you to vote against this referendum. If you feel the schools need renovations, then I suggest this be a separate issue on a.scparate referendum. Sincerely, Sara Dettmann SEAL MAY 3 0 2000 RECEIVED BY 27 May 2000 Edina City Council 4801 West 50' Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 To the members of the Edina City Council: My wife and I attended the public hearing that you held on the proposal to expand recreational facilities in Edina, and after letting the proposal "soak" awhile, we have decided to register our objections to the plan as proposed. To what extent the city needs additional recreational facilities we do not know, but we do think that the plan to expand at Kuhlman Field and at the current Community Center is ill advised, to say the least. This area is too small for what you wish to do, especially your plan to put artificial turf and a bubble over the football field. If what you anticipate were to come to be, the increased traffic. would be a major problem for the people who live on the streets that border the present three- school site, which was well planned as the location of its three schools: the High School —now the Community Center —the Junior High School, and Concord Elementary School. The total area accommodates these facilities well, but if you add two more gymnasiums and the bubble you will place a load on the area it cannot truly tolerate, at least not without placing a very undesirable burden on local residents. Dangers not now present to our homes and especially the children at the times of use will occur from the congestion of increased automobile traffic and the larger number of people walking on the streets. Consequently we think you ought to investigate in detail the problems that will arise from what you propose to do. According to the description given at the Council meeting, an important objective is to rent the domed facility to whomever wishes to use it. Why this is even a consideration we do not in the least understand. Certainly Edina is not financially burdened so that it needs additional income of some sort. On the contrary, the evidence we have is that this is not a problem for the community. We ask, then, that you consider locating these additional facilities elsewhere, on more adequate grounds, without a dome, and avoid the congestion and overuse that would result if you were to succeed in implementing the current proposal.

We are in strong opposition to anumber of items i n the Refrendum and we have canvassed the surrounding area passing out flyer S to inform all of those who were not aware of the issues. The majority Of of the homes canvassed were troubled by the lack of communication from the City on an issue of such import. The primary purpose of this correspon dence is to inform you of our position on the proposed referendum. We do not oppose the entire package. We support several issues with m inor modifications which are enclosed below. 1) Dome over a new Kuhlman field - Why do we need a retractable dome? The money to build and maintain the dome can be used more wisely. Who is pushing for the dome and why? Build it somewhere else. Since it is to be used for other scholastic events -bui ld it on all the extra non- residential grounds around the current Edina High School. Or how about over by Braemar Arena? They will have the room and parkin g and highway access that is not available at the proposed site. Do not make our str eets unsafe for us and our children. Multiple sporting events invite and ca use Page 1 Referendum.txt congestion, tailgating, reckless drivers that love to drink and party in association with sporting events. Check the police statistics. AND WHA T IS IT GOING TO COST TO OPERATE THAT RETRACTABLE DOME ON A YEARLY BASIS? 2) Upgrading the gym facilities for Concord Elementary School: Not a bad idea -those students could really benefit but we need actual numbers and design plans to decide. 3) Upgrading the Southview School pool: Not a bad idea -those students could really benefit but we need actual numbers and design plans to decide. 4) 770 Seat auditorium: Only if it is a secured facility,'and if we have- actual numbers and de sign plans to decide -but probably not. Build it by the dome you want. They will have the room and parking and highway access. 5) Artificial turf: No, you are posing a greater threat (Sports Injuries) to the safety of our children. If your proposed vendor say's it is safe -I want to see tests and results and a second opinion. 6) 3 Gymnasium fieldhouse and running track: No, we already have a track. No other building can be supported at th is site. 7) New south parking.lot to replace McCarthy Field: No. Why move the baseball field to the lower level where you will expo nentially increase the amount of traffic on an already busy and narrow street? ( Concord) Currently there are plenty of traffic and parking related problems on Concord (a narrow street) that can be attributed to school related events DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR! Dont make the problem worse! The proposed Referendum if passed without modifications will create an environment that brings people into the community who do not have a vested interes t Page 2 ti I Referendum.txt in maintaing the quality of life we currently enjoy. I enjoy living in. Edina because its quiet, safe, clean and easy to get around. I will not allow that to change. Please add the enclosed correspondence to the record.

We are active participants in athletic and recreational activities in Edina. Our two sons participate in house league sports through the Edina Baseball Association, the Edina Basketball Association, and the Edina Soccer Association. Patrick has coached and co- coached house league basketball and soccer every year since 1993. We are writing to oppose the proposed levy referendum in its present form and to ask that you postpone a vote on it until the concerns of the entire Edina community can be heard and addressed. Our reasons are as follows: 1. There is no consensus in our community that the proposed athletic facilities are needed at the Edina Community Center ('!ECC' 1 location. a. The Decision Resources Survey asked whether or not respondents supported the construction of additional gymnasiums at the ECC and Concord Elementary School. It did NOT measure support for a three -gym fieldhouse, a tournament facility, or facilities intended for income- generating rental. b. Only 53% of respondents to the Decision Resources Survey stated support for the additional gyms. c. Only 34% of respondents to the Decision Resources Survey stated support for renovations to Kuhlman Field. d. Only 35% of respondents to the Decision Resources Survey stated support for installation of an inflatable dome over Kuhlman Field. • • .. a,. •_ M161611111111011 a. Neither the School District nor the City has attempted to include the community, other than selected athletic associations, in the planning process. b. Notice of the only public hearing before the City Council was buried in mid - article on page 11A of the Edina Sun Current (5/10/00). eg q c. The only public hearing before the City Council was scheduled at a time of day inconvenient for many members of the community, was intended to last no more than 1 and 3/4 hours, and was concluded with at least ten people waiting for a chance to address the City Council. At the very least, the hearing should have been continued at a later date to allow those waiting to comment to do so in a public forum. 3. The ECC as it is currently contigured and used is Nu 1 an appronnaie site ror the proposeu facilities. a. When the ECC was the site of Edina High School, it was the perfectly logical location of high school sports and community events. The building has not served as a high school for almost 20 years. b. The ECC is now the home of Edina's second largest elementary school (Normandale), Edina's Early Childhood Family Education program, the Edina Family Center daycare facility, the Summer Shades K -6 enrichment program, and Edina Kids' Club before - and -after- school care. c. Edina's largest elementary school, Concord, stands across Kuhlman Field from the ECC. d. The numbers of older children and adults using the proposed facilities and the increased traffic coming into the neighborhood around the ECC will endanger the safety of younger children in the neighborhood and at ALL of the above - mentioned schools and programs. e. Although it is located near two freeways, the ECC is accessible by freeway only at 50th Street from Highway 100 North'and Benton Avenue from Highway 100 South. Other traffic will come through the adjacent neighborhoods. f. The ECC's auditorium is located inside Normandale Elementary School. If the community spends $1.5 million to refurbish the auditorium as a community theater, where do you propose to locate rehearsal space, dressing rooms, set construction and storage space? 4. Other sites exist that could house the proposed facilities without endangering pre-school, elementary school and neighborhood children. a. The need for more gym space could be addressed by building additional gyms at several different schools throughout Edina. This would distribute smaller amounts of gym- related traffic and parking throughout the community rather than concentrating them in ECC- adjacent neighborhoods. b. The current Edina High School is the perfectly logical location of facilities planned to serve the needs of older children and adults, just as the old Edina High School, now the ECC, was in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. M c. Braemar Park has available space, proximity to several freeways, and access that does not send the bulk of traffic through the surrounding neighborhoods. In closing, we are aware that basketball is a popular youth sport in Edina and that the community needs more gymnasiums. But the community does not need a three -gym fieldhouse or facilities that threaten the safety of school and neighborhood children. Of the 1,710 children who participated in Edina Basketball Association, EGAA Basketball, and Girls Traveling programs this past winter, only 240 played on traveling teams. The ECC portions of the proposed levy ask the community to pay far too high a price for facilities designed specifically to meet the needs of so few.

Dear Mayor Maetzold and Members of the City Council, I attempted to speak at the Public Hearing on the proposed athletics facilities referendum on May 16, 2000, but I was not recognized. I appreciate the opportunity to submit these comments for inclusion in the Public Record. I am a physician, and I planned to speak because of the health and safety risks that the Community Center Project poses to young children. I learned about the project in mid- February. Since then I have followed developments closely. It is my opinion that we are confronting these health and safety risks for one primary reason: in planning the project, the presence of a preschool and elementary school in the Community Center building has been ignored. I share the State of Minesota's view that planning facilities at a school requires extra care. As you know, the State has published comprehensive guidelines for planning school construction projects. A quick look at these shows that the Community Center is a very unlikely choice for public athletic facilities. First, the guidelines stipulate that projects at a school must be educationally advisable. The School District Superintendent, School Board Chair, and staff at Normandale Elementary School have indicated that the facilities planned for the Community Center are of no educational benefit. Second, the guidelines state that an elementary school the size of Normandale should have 20 to 25 usable acres for the school alone. When these size guidelines are not met, further additions to the building are discouraged. The guidelines state "There are cases when a building addition, no matter how well planned, may. not be economically or educationally advisable... Repeatedly adding on to a school facility on an inadequate site creates a maze of building additions, while further stressing the site and reducing spaces for outdoor activities, parking, and convenient access." I hope the City Council is at a crossroads where it can keep the idea of the Community Center Project on hold while it seriously explores other sites. In doing so, I would like to suggest that the $500,000 private donation be removed from the decision - making process. If that donation is critical to making this project work now, it is likely to be critical in ten years when it has been spent. If the City Council decides to give the Community Center site further consideration, it is imperative that the health and safety risks posed by the project be fully evaluated. I believe that the City Council is currently operating under the unwarranted assumption that the Community Center Project can be built without creating insurmountable security and traffic problems. Despite parents' requests to perform the needed studies, no safety and traffic evaluations have been done. Given the extensive problems that parents have identified , there is good reason to believe that the project may indeed be impossible or so expensive as to be unfeasible. I have heard the questions that parents have raised about health, safety, security and access, and they seem, quite legitimate to me. For example, childhood pedestrian accidents are one of the leading causes of childhood injury and death. The current design will require children to walk the length of two football fields along a frontage road where buses load and unload to get to the school parking lot. It is obvious that this is not a safe design.. Similarly, I have seen no studies of what hazardous substances such as lead or asbestos are in the areas to be involved in construction. I have seen no studies of the impact use of the existing heating system will have on the air quality in the school and preschool. At the same time, use of that heating system has been offered as the primary justification for the Community Center site. If indeed the Community Center site has been selected because of the heating plant, it seems reasonable that it be determined whether the heating plant can be safely used. I am happy that the City requires private developers who propose projects in Edina to meet high standards. I hope that the City will hold itself to the same high standards in evaluating the impact of the Community Center Project .on the very young and vulnerable children the - building serves. I am convinced that impact studies and budgeted solutions would be required if a private developer proposed building a fieldhouse in an elementary-school parking lot and a public theatre in a second grade hallway. I believe that the City needs to insure that the Community Center Project built to be safe while young children use the building. Children occupy the Community Center from very early morning hours until 6 p.m. year- round. Regardless of whatever agreements are forged now, the facilities will eventually be used while there are children in the building. And it seems quite reasonable that that they be used given the $15 million investment by taxpayers. With the required renovation of Kuhlman stadium,, the City has a golden opportunity to make deliberate choices with respect to the long -term use of the Community Center site. I would like to see high school ,athletics moved closer to the high school, if possible, and certainly away from an area that is largely dedicated to preschool and elementary age children. If the City indeed determines that the Communty Center site is the best location for high school athletics and greater adult recreational use, then new facilities for the preschool and elementary school should be identified. I also believe that'the plans for this referendum should be made in the context of a long -range plan for the School District. Although this is a City referendum, with most of the investment occurring on School District property, the question should be asked whether these athletic facilities are the School District's highest priority. Would taxpayers' dollars be better spent elsewhere in educating out children? It is my opinion that the proposed facilities are probably not essential to the City. Indeed, the City's 1997 gymnasiums study makes it clear that if existing gymnasiums were used on Wednesday and Friday evenings and at least one day during the weekend, the full demand for more gymnasium space could be met. Building more gymnasiums to facilitate the preferred scheduling on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings may be reasonable, but I do not see how one can justify putting children in harm's way to do so. Overall, the Community Cener Project seems to represent the interests of sports and recreation being met at the expense of education. Many families like ours have moved to Edina because we believed that education was the top priority in this city. I sincerely hope that the City Council will choose to honor that priority and identify another site for the Community Center Project.

May 30, 2000 Edina City Council 4801 W 50'x' Street Edina, MN 55424 To the members of the Council, The proposed ECC Campus Plan is nothing less than an insatiable need to have more, stemming from this community's unadulterated greed. All of this cloaked in the mantra of "providing the best for.our children ". Our children don't need this development and our city coffers don't need the revenue. The most galling aspect of this proposal is the total disregard for those residents whose neighborhood will bear it's impact. During the arrival /departure times of the school day and at every athletic event, traffic is congested to unsafe and nearly impassable levels. There is no attempt to. control or improve this situation by either the school or the police department; even after the occurrence of accidents and the requests by phone and letter for attention to this real need. Now the Council is asking us to live with this problem 7 days a week, 365 days a year. An exaggeration? If it is, then there is no need for these facilities and there will not be the anticipated revenue, making this a most preposterous proposal. If nearly all Minnesotans think a professional stadium is unnecessary, where do you get the idea that Edina has an overwhelming need? And all of these wonderful amenities for $30 million. What color is the sky in your world? If this proceeds to a referendum, consider this our commitment to the defeat of such insanity. With hope that clear thinking prevails, Sincerely, Trish and Paul Kolkman, 5612 St. Andrews Ave., 925 -1559 May 30, 2000 To the members of the City Council, Our family is vehemently opposed to the ECC Campus Plan proposing a new fieldhouse and removable dome for Kuhlman field. There is no room in this area for the kind of traffic and congestion that these sports facilities will bring in. Traffic is already bad during school days (pickup /drop off times) and during current sporting events. We already considered it unsafe for children going home from school or just playing around the neighborhood. I would like to see any money there is spent on fixing this problem. Looking at the proposed changes on the map, we can see that there WILL NOT be enough parking for big events. There is not enough parking as it is. Our streets are completely filled up for eeery event at both the middle school and at the field. We would like to see this issue resolved also, before adding new facilities. Furthermore, we will NOT support a property tax increase and/or a bond issue to pay for these projects.

Ann Sullivan 5845 Brookview Avenue Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mayor Dennis Maetzold and the Edina City Council: Wearing the hat of an Edina resident, parent, and administrator in the Edina Public Schools, I would like to share some thoughts with you regarding the referendum you are in the process of considering. Recently I attended the public hearing, but due to the large number of individuals present, was not afforded the opportunity to speak. I appreciate the Council's willingness to review letters sent prior to your Tuesday, May 30, meeting. Firstly, one of the reasons I moved to this community was the fact that Edina was known for its high quality Park and Recreation programs. Living right on Pamela Park, I have witnessed the volume of use of this particular park, as well as others. I know that expanded facilities are needed to keep pace with the increasing numbers of young people involved in our programs. In addition, as I have seen our own residents utilize facilities in neighboring communities, such as Eden Prairie, because those facilities are better quality than those available within the boundaries of Edina. Secondly, I have worked at Valley View Middle School for the last five years. As a school administrator, one of my roles is to manage and track the scheduling of pool, field, and gymnasium facilities for school related and community activities. I often have to turn down building permit requests for swimming, basketball, and volleyball, because the existing pool and gym space is already booked. Also, you should know, I have actually authorized building permits to use Valley View's pool as early as 5:00 a.m. on school days and weekends. This seems an unreasonable hour for individuals to be using the pool, yet they are eager, willing and requesting to do so, because no other available pool time exists for them. It is critical for our community to have the opportunity to improve and expand pool, gymnasium, and outdoor recreational facilities. I know you have seen the results of both the Minnesota Health Survey and the Search Institute Survey. As residents, we can help build needed assets for Edina's youth if we can continue to attract and involve young people in healthy activities in and out of school such as swimming, soccer, softball, baseball, and basketball. Give Edina taxpayers the opportunity to "step up to the plate" for Edina kids by allowing us the chance to vote "yes" to this referendum next fall. Sincerely, L. Ann Sullivan Taxpayer, Resident, Parent Principal of Valley View Middle School FROA. _ "HE M� M��M FROM THE �.�,� �m DESK.OF CARLTON G. CHRISTENSON DESK OF CARLTON G.

There is insufficient land available at the present site to allow for the imposition of the several proposed large buildings and accompanying additional facilities. Such overcrowding would be inconsistent with the current character of land usage in beautiful Edina, especially as it relates to its educational and civic facilities. 2. The new on -site parking area being suggested is insufficient for the increased activities and usage anticipated for both day time and evening hours. Our personal observation of more than a decade has noted that even now current parking for well attended events overflows onto many neighborhood residential streets and often blocking access even to private properties. We also question if some of the additional parking proposed will provide convenient access in terms of walking distance to other areas of the campus. 3. We believe the plan in its present form would allow for such increased traffic congestion so as to compromise human safety of users of the campus as well as neighbors. We are even concerned about ready access for emergency vehicles now at well attended events but especially in the future with the increased congested traffic and parking. Access to the campus now and in the future from both highway 100 and nearby neighborhood streets would be insufficient to safely and adequately handle residential as well as the added visitor traffic. Access from nearby Valley View Road coming from the south, 58th Street from the east, Wilson Road from the north, and Benton Ave. from the west are already frequently congested. Further, immediate but limited access to the campus now from south bound traffic on highway 100 is available only from the difficult Benton Ave. exit. Immediate but limited egress from the campus to highway 100 can only go north at Benton Ave. /Valley View Road. This is a very complex intersection., We wish you great wisdom as you make your decisions. Very sincerel yours, &A� Carlton Christenson Marian Christenson A May 30, 2000 Edina City Council Edina City Hall 4801 West 50`' Street Edina, MN 55424 Dear Council members: I spoke at the May 16, 2000 public meeting regarding the proposed referendum and am writing to supplement my comments and request that the City delay going forward with the referendum until further study has been conducted regarding any impact on Normandale Elementary and the neighborhood. I have several concerns regarding the proposed referendum including both the decision as to where to place the gymnasiums as well as the issues that arise from the project as a whole. In this letter I will focus primarily on the issues that arise from placing additional facilities (the gymnasiums and renovated auditorium) adjacent to Normandale Elementary and the Edina Community Center. On May 16, I expressed concern that there were too many unknowns for the proposed referendum to go forward at this time. As one example, Ken Dragseth stated that a committee had recently been formed to analyze security, traffic and parking issues at Normandale Elementary. However, even as of today, there has not been a professional analysis or identification of what issues exist as a result of commencing a project at the school. Because the issues have not been identified, the project also does not identify solutions or provide funds to cover the cost of the solutions. It does not make sense to go forward with a project that is attached to an elementary school without more information regarding these basic issues. Although the school district has formed a safety committee, the committee is comprised of parent volunteers, not professionals knowledgeable about school and construction issues. The city would not rely on a volunteer committee of parents to provide engineering advice. Similarly, neither the city nor the school district should rely on parent volunteers to identify the issues that might arise in a $31,000,000 project. Further, the fact that a significant part of the project (the gymnasiums and auditorium) is attached to an elementary school warrants greater attention to detail, not less. This is not a project being built on an independent site where some issues might be addressed later. I have heard that the City Council views any impact on Normandale Elementary as the responsibility of the School District and not the city. This perspective, though, is incorrect. As a preliminary matter, this is a joint project by the city and the school district. As a co- sponsor, the city has an obligation to make sure that the issues generated by the project have been addressed prior to sending the proposal for a referendum. The city has already made a partial commitment by hiring an architect to address sports issues. Who has hired someone to address non -sports issues (e.g. safety)? Even if one considered the safety of Edina children to be solely a school district issue, at a minimum, the city should make sure that the school district has obtained expert analysis of the impact of the project on Normandale before deciding whether to go forward with the referendum. Ultimately, the city is responsible because it is providing the bonding to fund the project. I am not asking that the project be canceled. Instead, my request is simple. Before the city council votes on whether to proceed with the referendum, there should be a professional analysis of the various issues that will arise from a project of this scope. Particular attention should be paid to any impact (e.g. safety, traffic and parking) on Normandale because there are over 500 elementary school age children that currently attend Normandale. It is only after a proper analysis that the city council and thereafter (if sent to a referendum) the residents of Edina would be able to make an informed decision as to whether to go forward with the project. To make a decision to go forward now without an analysis would be irresponsible. Thank you for the opportunity to provide input. Leny K.

Braemar is already used as a tournament venue and tournaments there would not impact elementary, pre - school and early childhood programs. Traffic and the safety issues are the biggest concerns for our family. The inconvenient entrance to Normandale Elementary has been a concern to us since our oldest child started at the school in 1993. We would not like to have access to the school become more inconvenient. More importantly, we don't want any project that adds security risks to the school.

I have reviewed the plannulg stud} prepared by 1'SP regarding ittlprovements at several L• dins School facilities (Concord, Crcck Valicy, SOULhView, the Hiah School and Community Center). I am in agreement with the general goals of the proposal. However. I must express rn }' concern about the nant.re, extcn[ and cost about the work at the Community Center site_ First, I have no objection 10 safety i)ncntcd improvement; to die seaunb at the football field locaccd oil that site. As a parent that takes his children to the fctothall games, I feel the seating improvement_ are a good idea. However, I am cocci: swill have oththc elementary Up pool and he�cighborhoocl. The issues that the ncername The proposed prof relate tU traffic, safety, security, site capacity and the impact on property, values. The C:ommuniry Ccntcr site is complex and has many users. Therc may very well be a planning option that addresses my concerns ado��ua[cly, rcattltinb in a nice facility to Scr%rc its many users. However, T lave not seen it sec. '1'he'1Sl' team .is the first to reply that these ideas are only "preliminary" alZd suggestions of what could be there. Yet h� proposed Edina referendum has a budget based on the specifics of this "preliminary idea." I urge the Cary Council w carefully consider the development at the Community Center and revise The upcoming referendum accordingly: a R41ireh ns du to :nrixde- all work at the Edina School District sites idcnnficd in the 'l l' study, excluding the Community Ccntcr (except as noted below.'), b) Refesrrdum to irciw - all bleacher updating at Community Center Football Ftield, C) Refarerdrrr >o ircilfde- funds to develop a more detailed study of the facility improvements at the Communtoj Center site (no approval of a building project at this Time).

From what we have heard (we haven't received any information directly), we believe that-ths proposed expansicn of the facilities may go far beyond the original intended use as a school and may impact the neighborhood in ways that don't seem to have been considered. We are concerned that the impact of additional events (and the times and frequency of those events, especially evenings and weekends) will be negative for the surrounding neighborhood. The increased traffic, parking, security, noise, and safety issues need to evaluated and discussed. It seems that the people most affected by these plans have not been involved in the planning efforts. (Our house looks out upon McCarthy field. The field and associated open space and views, along with the quiet cul -de -sac (and its associated safety for our children) were substantial reasons why we bought this property four years ago.) We ask that more input and evaluation take place, and that it involve those closest to it. Sincerely, Steven C. erta Jane M. Merta 4809 W. 59th St. Edina, MN 55424 -1704 P.S. If this project does go through, we would STRONGLY REQUEST that at least a football -field width of the current ouffield be left as open athletic space. We would also STRONGLY REQUEST that the northern edge of this field be "bermed" and landscaped with trees so that parking lot lights and car headlights would NOT be shining into our front windows (and there would be some "barrier" of sorts between us and the expanded/shifted parking lot...). PPS. We would also be ADAMANTLY opposed to opening of the W. 59th St cul -de -sac. (We have heard that that is NOT planned, but wanted to express this anyway...) � ^,�9 ca �/� �k �3D� AGENDA EDINA HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY EDINA CITY COUNCIL YEAR END MEETING - DECEMBER 28, 2000 5:00 P.M.

These are preliminary projections, actual figures and recommendations will be presented to you sometime in March. We are recommending the following reserves being designated: • $50,000 for our equipment replacement reserves. This additional $50,000 will cover 2 pickup trucks. $225,000 for the Vanguard project. $25,000 for referendum costs. • $30,000 for the 20/20 Plan. • $10,000 in conferences and education. • $30,000 for aerial photos for the GIS system. • $20,000 for a PSLO. • $200,000 to fund employee separation benefits and additional insurance costs. • $624,486 to the capital improvement plan. Our current undesignated reserves are $2,727,000. As this figure is well above the State's guideline of 15% of operating budget, we do not recommend any additions to our undesignated reserves. Listed below is a detail of the major revenue and expenditure categories as we forecast them for the end of 2000. Revenues: The City's budgeted revenues for 2000 were $19,268,154. We anticipate revenues exceeding the budget by approximately $846,000. The estimate of the major categories are as follows: • Page 1 r • Building Permits - We anticipate this category of permits to exceed the budget by approximately $400,000. This would include building, heating, mechanical and plumbing permits. • Fees and Charges - Municipal court fines, and ambulance revenues will exceed the budget by approximately $650,000. • Other Revenues— This category includes Sale and Rental of property which will be over budget by $194,000. This revenue comes from vehicles sold at auction and rental proceeds from cell phone towers. This category also includes a transfer from the Liquor fund in the amount of $463,000. Based on revenue from other sources, we propose to use these funds to supplement losses in the other enterprise funds. Expenditures: The City budgeted expenditures for 2000 were $19,268,154. We anticipate actual expenditures to be about $513,000 below budgeted expenditures. A summary of the major categories is listed below. • Personal Services — Personal services are $400,000 under budget. This is a combination of salaries, overtime and benefits. • Equipment Replacement In 2000, equipment replacement costs were below budget. These funds are reserved in accordance with our equipment replacement plan. • Central Services General - The expenditures will over budget by $80,000. This is due to increased insurance and advertising costs, and a full time MIS person. • Public Works Building - This will be over budget by $80,000. This is due to remodeling and improvements made to the Public Works building. • Contingencies — The contingency budget will be over by $30,000. There are a variety of expenses that have been paid through this account. • Page 2 Revenues Property Taxes Licenses & Permits Fees & Charges Other Revenues Intergovernmental Aid Total Revenues Total Expenditures Total Central Service Net surplus Equip.
