EDINA POLICE DEPAR
DEPARTMENTAL COMMENDATION
DEAN WICKSTROM
❑INS
On January 7, 2005, the most prolific bank robber in Minnesota history chose the Real Financial Center in
Edina for his next robbery. His crime spree of 23 bank robberies throughout the metro area came to an end
that day due to the actions of Dean Wickstrom.
The Fishing Hat Bandit had previously robbed the Real Financial Center on September 15, 2004. Mr.
Wickstrom, the credit union's president, had studied the initial robbery to help prevent future attempts. When
he saw a hooded man enter the credit union on January 7 his suspicions were aroused. When the suspect
scooped up bundles of cash from a teller and quickly left the building Mr. Wickstrom immediately followed him
_ = out and called 911 on his cell phone. He followed the robber to an adjacent apartment complex where the
suspect entered a garage and closed the door, concealing his location. Mr. Wickstrom stood outside in freezing
temperatures to make sure the suspect did not leave before the police arrived. The robber was arrested after a
lengthy search found him hiding in the trunk of his car.
For rendering public service entailing quick thinking and exceptional bravery that resulted in the arrest of the
Fishing Hat Bandit, the City of Edina thanks Mr. Dean Wickstrom and awards him the Edina Police
Department's Departmental Commendation.

cracks and seal coat. Mr. Houle said evidence of a need for reconstruction includes
alligator and edge cracking. Mr. Houle used a map to highlight that over fifty percent of
Edina's neighborhood streets are over 35 years old. He said that staff analyzes: road
replacement, adding curb and gutter, utility improvements needed, street lighting,
sidewalks, and the potential of burying the overhead utilities.
Mr. Houle said that staff has mapped out proposed neighborhoods needing. roadway
reconstruction through 2014. He stated reconstructing streets maintains the City's
infrastructure, adding benefits include more cost - effective maintenance, reduction of
pavement failure, drainage control, aids street cleaning and snow plowing, . and improves
roadway. safety.
Mr. Houle explained the General Fund Street Maintenance budget currently covers:, seal
coating, patching, snow removal and street sweeping. He said historically all improvement
projects for non state -aid roadways were funded 100% through special assessments to the
benefited property owners. Mr. Houle stated the improvement cost varied depending
upon: density of neighborhood, geometrics of roadway, and whether curb and gutter were
involved. Mr. Houle gave some typical roadway reconstruction costs:
• Pavement only (reclaim) $4,000 for 1/4 Acre lot
• Pavement only (reclaim) $10,000 for 1.5 Acre lot
• Added cost curb and gutter $7,000 for 1/4 Acre lot
• Added cost curb and gutter $15,000 for 1/i Acre lot
Mr. Houle explained when the entire cost of the improvement has been specially assessed
to the benefited property owners, 20 percent were paid in full immediately while the
remaining 80 percent let the assessments run through the ten -year amortization with
interest currently charged at six point and one -half percent. In addition, Mr. Houle said the
Utility Fund covers the cost of any needed improvement to the water or .sewer systems and
thus are borne by all users.
In the past, $500,000 in neighborhood roadway reconstruction was annually completed.
Mr. Houle explained it was now necessary to complete $3 million in such projects each
year.
Minutes/Edina City Council Work Session/ianuM 18, 2005
Eric Anderson, Assistant Manager explained that when the City was only financing
$500,000 annually, it was capable of internally handling the financing. However, with the
reconstruction program approaching $3,000,000 annually, Mr. Anderson stated the City
would need to sell bonds to finance the construction. He noted bonds may be issued every
two years, but improvements must be authorized before bonds can be issued, adding the
City would want to time bonds around significant utility improvements to take advantage
of the economy of only one issuance.
Mr. Anderson noted that funding improvements totally through special assessments could
result in lawsuits appealing the special assessments. Funding options other than 100%
assessment include:
Levy for a percentage of the improvement and assess the balance
o Debt levy might be necessary if the Legislature imposes levy limits
Examine the length of the term of the special assessment
Potential option if a transportation utility were to be authorized by legislature
•
Mr. Anderson reported to the Council how a number of area communities handle roadway
reconstruction and its funding. Some communities fund reconstruction through:
• General Fund tax levy
• Annual General Fund tax levy plus some special assessments
• Bonds
• Franchise Fees
• Franchise fees and utility fees
• Annual General Fund levy and bonds combined
The Council discussed issues of roadway reconstruction and funding including:
• Transition issues - fairness with previous assessment methods
• General Fund Levy impacts on business in additional to residential areas
• Debt Levy adding interest component increasing the cost over the General Fund
Levy
• Reviewed impact of various percentages of assessment vs. tax levy on typical
residential homes valued at $300,000.00, $500,000.00, and $1,000,000.00
• Whether or not improvements should be 'deferred based upon neighborhood
opposition
• Timing of implementation of any changes to funding improvements
• Should curb and gutter be mandated
Consensus of the Council was that this was such a large issue that more time for study was
needed. An additional work session was set for February 1, 2005, at 5:30 p.m. for further
review and discussion.
There being no further business on the Council Agenda, the Mayor adjourned the meeting
at 6:50 p.m.

Approve reprogramming $80,000 of 2003 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds from Scattered Site Affordable Housing to Cornerstone for the
renovation of 8 apartment units to be used for emergency shelter purposes.
Information /Background:
Currently, $80,000 remains in the 2003 CDBG Scattered Site Affordable Housing
budget, which must be spent by May 1, 2005, or the funds will go back to Hennepin
County. At this1ime there are no projects in Edina that would qualify for these funds.
The City has received a request from Cornerstone for funds to assist in the $135,542
renovation of two apartment buildings (8, — 2 bedroom units located in Bloomington at
8041 — 8101 12th Avenue). These apartments will provide housing for victims of
domestic abuse and their children.
Cornerstone, founded in 1983, has included Edina in its service area for over twenty
years. Reprogramming $80,000 from the 2003 CDBG budget in support of
Cornerstone's project would prove to not only support a vital service to the community,
but also -add to the City's efforts of advancing affordable housing in the greater metro
area.
STONE
Dear Joyce,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit Cornerstone's proposal requesting a Community
Development Block Grant from the City of Edina. Cornerstone has been providing
services to Edina residents for over twenty-one years. We truly value the exceptional
working relationship that the City and Cornerstone have built over the years.
We have just completed a four -year six million dollar capital campaign to build a new
facility that brings our emergency shelter and our community service program under one
roof. The completion of the campaign allows Cornerstone to focus once again on the
services we provide to victims of domestic abuse and their children.. It also provides the
opportunity to reconfigure our residential properties to better meet the critical need for
affordable housing.
The first step in this project is to renovate our former shelter and two small apartment
buildings. The total cost of the renovation is $135,542 (see attached budget). We
respectfully ask the City of Edina to support our efforts with a Community Development
Block Grant. If I can answer any additional questions please don't hesitate to call me..
Sincerely,

ORGANIZATION INFORMATION
Organization history and summary of organization mission and goals
History
Cornerstone was founded in 1983 to meet the needs of domestic abuse victims and their children
living in South Hennepin County. Cornerstone's residential program serves victims of domestic
abuse and their children. Our community program serves primarily residents of our target cities
which include Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Richfield and St. Louis Park. Cornerstone was
the first organization in the state to collaborate with local hotels to provide cost - effective safe
housing for victims. In 1989, we opened the first transitional Housing Program specifically for
women and their children who were victims of domestic abuse. In 1991, Cornerstone began to
implement comprehensive children's programming that provides youth and teens a safe haven to
examine their feelings about growing up in a violent home and learn new ways to build healthy.
relationships of their own. The organization's ability to find innovative solutions for age -old
problems has made Cornerstone a leader in the movement against domestic violence, earning this
year's KARE 11 Agency of Distinction Award. Cornerstone continues to grow with the needs of
the communities it serves, opening the new Sheila Wellstone Center this past summer.
Mission and Goals
Cornerstone's mission is to prevent domestic abuse. We support children and adults to live
violence free lives. We are a catalyst to end violence in the community.
Cornerstone has provided services and support to domestic abuse victims for more than twenty—
one years. We recognize that our first priority must be the safety of women and children. We
believe, however, that to achieve our mission we must be just as committed to providing early
intervention services and primary prevention education. Cornerstone understands the importance
of building partnerships within the community. Our clients benefit from our collaboration with
five city police departments and city prosecutors, community school districts, public health and
the faith community. Domestic abuse is a learned behavior that is passed from generation to
generation. Cornerstone is determined to end this heartbreaking legacy and replace it with the
promise of a better way of life.
Programs and Statistics
RESIDENTIAL SERVICES:
Emergency Services: Emergency shelter and support services for victims who are in
imminent danger. Housing can be provided in a hotel if shelter is not an appropriate
option.
Transitional Housing: Up to two years of safe affordable housing for battered women
and their children who are homeless due to domestic abuse combined with
comprehensive support and educational services.
Permanent Housing: Long term affordable housing for victim/survivors and their
children. Housing is combined with services for parents and children.
Residential Youth Services: Services to meet the needs of homeless children who have
experienced violence in their family. Programming includes individual and age
appropriate group counseling, learning readiness/tutoring, mentoring, and recreational
activities.
Housing Resource Services: Information, resources, advocacy, and referrals are
provided to Cornerstone clients and community members who are facing housing issues
or trying to secure permanent housing.
COMMUNITY SERVICES:.
Services for Adults We offer practical ways to tear down the barriers that prevent
individuals and families from escaping a violent relationship. Advocates facilitate support
groups, provide individual support, write and file Orders for Protection and Harassment
Orders, and accompany victims to evidentiary hearings in Family Court. Cornerstone
offers specialized services sensitive to the unique needs of senior women and victims of
same sex partner violence.
Criminal Justice Intervention works in partnership with law enforcement and
prosecutors to insure. appropriate consequences for perpetrators and advocacy for victims
of criminal domestic assault. Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Richfield, St. Louis Park
and the Metropolitan Airports Commission contract with Cornerstone for criminal justice
services
Family and Youth Services: The unique needs of children trying to heal from living in a
violent family are addressed through programming that includes individual and group
counseling, gender specific self - esteem programming for girls and boys, and a
mentorship program. Family and individual therapy is available when the child's
experience is particularly traumatic. Parenting Education and support help women face .
the challenge of being a single parent. We help parents, step parents and other caregivers
understand the profound affect living in an abusive family has on children.
Prevention Abuse and Violence through Education: We work with local school
districts to provide programs for K -12 area schools. Classroom presentations and one -on-
one and group support help youth identify and deal with gender issues, anger, bullying,
harassment, and violence in relationships.
RATIONALE
Throughout Cornerstone's twenty -one year history, the agency has focused on building a
comprehensive solution to the age old problem of domestic violence. We have always
recognized our responsibility to provide emergency shelter to victims of domestic abuse
and their children. Our new shelter can accommodate thirty -five individuals and operates
at 100 percent occupancy. That is not unusual; the twenty -seven shelters across the State
of Minnesota report similar occupancy rates. Domestic violence continues to be one of
the most critical social problems we face.
Clearly, providing emergency shelter is not enough. If as a society, we are committed to
end the abuse and violence that tears families apart and leaves an indelible impression on
the young children who live everyday with fear and apprehension we must do more. This
is not to suggest that we stop providing critical crisis intervention services. What
Cornerstone is saying is that we must be willing to invest as much money, effort and
public support in developing and implementing early intervention and primary prevention
services. The proposed project is a major step in that direction.
REQUEST
We are seeking support for the renovation of two small (four unit) apartment buildings
that have been used as transitional housing since 1993. Both properties are in dire need
of renovation. This request is for the second phase a capital project will allow
Cornerstone to expand and enhance its affordable housing program. Phase one of the
project is in progress and involves the renovation of the building that was formerly used
as Cornerstone's emergency shelter. Once the total renovation project is completed, the
program will be able to offer ten units of transitional housing and ten units of permanent
housing Creating a permanent housing component enhances our ability to serve families
before their situation deteriorates forcing them to flee their violent partner. This program
component combines affordable long -term housing with comprehensive services and,
does not use homelessness as the eligibility criteria. The program has the ability to serve
families before the situation becomes so desperate that the-family is forced to seek refuge
in an emergency shelter. This program will give the families an opportunity to achieve
greater stability. A stable home is the first step to breaking the generational cycle of
domestic violence.

Council Members:
I am writing on behalf of Doug Johnson. I have known Doug for years, and worked with
him several tunes. He attends my church, and I have been on councils with him. As the
Director of Community Education for Edina, Doug has done a great job. He as
undertaken large projects, such as Career Connections and the Fish Opener, and given
input to the Capital Bond Oversight Committee about the referendum passed for the
school district.
Together we planned the Community Volunteer Fair last year. I undertook the fair as my
Eagle Scout project, but without Doug's help and guidance, I would not have been able to
put it together in four months. Doug made sure I had the help I needed and had
connections around the city to get the word out about the fair. He was able to attract
sponsors for the fair, including Coca -Cola, giving us the resources we needed to make it a
success.
Doug knows Edina. Whenever I work with him, the connections he has in the area and
how well'he knows the city astound me. His leadership skills are extraordinarily
valuable. He knows how to organize groups of people to get jobs done in a timely and
efficient manner. I was a member of the Community Education Services Board with
Doug last year as well. He was the board member everyone turned to for answers,
advice, and guidance with projects. At School Board meetings I attended, the board
members routinely asked Doug for his opinion of decisions, because they knew he was
informed. He is greatly respected, and an excellent leader.
Doug would be a great addition to the Edina City Council, and would help the council
work together with the school district to create a better, stronger Edina.
Thank you for your time, and good luck with your decision.
Sincerely,
Will Amundson

Feasibility Study
South Harriet Park (West) Neighborhood Imp. No. A -204
January 26, 2005
INITIATION & ISSUES: The South Harriet Park (West) Neighborhood project was initiated partially by
a resident petition to address drainage problems along West 53`d Street. The
Engineering Department expanded this area and included the neighborhood
as outlined in Figure 1 as part of the City's planning process to update the
critical infrastructure within this neighborhood.
The following are existing features that present issues in determining the
feasibility of the project and are addressed in this report:
• Surface rainwater drainage issues
• Frequent watermain and service breaks
• Poor condition of existing pavement
• Existing landscaping, retaining walls, driveways, etc.
• Existing overhead utility lines and poles
• Existing mature trees
• Existing lighting
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The majority of the roadways and utilities in this neighborhood were originally
constructed in the late 1930's and 1940's. The roadway widths vary in this
neighborhood ranging from 22 -ft to 30 -ft with no curb and gutter and no
sidewalks. The pavement condition varies throughout the neighborhood but
is in relatively poor condition overall (see Photo 1).
i
Photo 1. Existing Pavement Condition
Street grades within the neighborhood vary slightly but are relatively flat and
level. There is some existing storm sewer in the area, but overall the surface
drainage is very poor.

Feasibility Study
South Harriet Park (West) Neighborhood Imp. No. A -204
January 26, 2005
In recent years, watermain and water service breaks are occurring with
increased frequency in this neighborhood while minimal sanitary sewer
blockages have been reported.
Many property owners have placed boulders or other obstructions within the
City right -of -way creating barriers along the roadway. These types of barriers
and landscaping items are prohibited from being placed in the boulevard in
accordance with Edina City Code 1200.02. Other typical items exist adjacent
to the roadway such as retaining walls, concrete driveways, landscaping,
shrubs, trees and fences.
Most of the private utilities in this neighborhood are overhead (with the
exception of the gas lines). Street lighting consists of standard "cobra head"
lights mounted on wood poles that are typically located at the intersections.
PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENTS: This project involves reconstructing the existing bituminous pavement,
constructing new curb and gutter, replacing the existing watermain, replacing
the water services from the new watermain to the curb boxes (valves located
at the property lines), repairing the sanitary sewer where needed, extending
the storm sewer to accommodate the new concrete _curb and gutter and
installing drain tile where needed to allow the property owners to connect
their sump pump discharges directly into the storm sewer system.
A neighborhood informational meeting was held on November 8, 2005 to
gather data and answer questions the homeowners had relating to the
project. Over 25 residents attended this meeting. Input from this meeting
and comments received throughout the planning of this project have been
included in this report as an attachment.
A neighborhood survey was sent to learn the favorability of constructing
concrete curb and gutters, relocating the overhead utility lines to underground
and installing decorative street lights with this project. The results of the
survey are shown in Table 1.
*Note: Based on a 1 to 3 ranking system. (Traditional was most favored with the lowest average ranking of
1.55)

Feasibility Study
South Harriet Park (West) Neighborhood Imp. No. A -204
January 26, 2005
The following is a summary regarding the survey results including staff's
recommendations:
• The majority of residents do not prefer new concrete curb and gutter —
Staff recommends constructing concrete curb and gutter in this
neighborhood. Concrete curb and gutter tends to be more cost effective
over the life of the street, reduces pavement failure, provides safety,
controls drainage, provides driveway and traffic control, and aids cleaning
and snow plowing. Concrete curb and gutter is specifically needed to
properly address the drainage issues throughout the neighborhood.
• The majority of residents do not prefer relocating overhead utilities to
underground — Staff does not recommend pursuing this issue since a
direct benefit to each property for this improvement is difficult to
substantiate. However, residents may pursue this option and coordinate
directly with the utility companies if desired. (Staff will assist coordinating
with the utility companies if requested.)
• The majority of residents do not prefer installing decorative street lighting
— Staff does not recommend including decorative street lighting with this
project since a direct benefit to each property for this improvement is
difficult to substantiate.
The survey results indicated that a barrier style curb (13618, B -Head) is more
desirable versus the surmountable style curb (drive -over, S- mount). Staff
recommends installing a barrier style curb and gutter as it will work well with
the existing topography within this neighborhood (see Figure 2). A barrier
style curb provides the best control of water runoff and better defines the
roadway while providing protection to the sod and pavement edge from
snowplow damage in the winter months.

The pavement throughout this neighborhood appears to be at the end of its
useful life while the costs to maintain and repair the roadways are steadily
increasing — Overlaying or seal coating the pavement in this neighborhood is
not feasible. 9
The proposed roadway widths range from 25 -ft to 27 -ft (back -to -back of
curb). The varying roadway widths accommodate the neighborhood by

minimizing impacts to the surrounding topography. Intersection geometrics
are proposed to be revised at the intersection of Oaklawn Avenue and
Brookview Avenue to reduce the pavement area and create a more standard
T- intersection (see Figure 3). Trees will be protected and impacts to the
trees will be minimized.

Feasibility Study
South Harriet Park (West) Neighborhood Imp. No. A -204
January 26, 2005
Staff is continuing to analyze the utility repairs /replacements and will include
the needed improvements with the final plans. Other utility activities usually
include replacement of gas mains within the neighborhood, which is
determined and coordinated by the local gas utility company.
RIGHT -OF -WAY
& EASEMENTS The right -of -way throughout the South Harriet Park (West) neighborhood is
typically 60 feet wide. All proposed improvements stay within this right -of-
way and no additional easement requirements are anticipated.
FEASIBILITY: This project is feasible from an engineering and City standpoint.
PROJECT COSTS: The total estimated project cost is $808,000. The total cost includes
indirect costs of 15% for engineering and clerical costs and 7.5% for first year
finance costs. The estimated construction cost does .not include storm sewer,
watermain or utility improvements. Major watermain work is anticipated in
this neighborhood; however, the final utility improvements will be determined
during the final design and will be funded through the respective utility fund.
Funding for the entire project- will be from a combination of special
assessment and utility funds.
ASSESSMENTS: A special assessment of approximately $8,700 per residential equivalent
unit or assessable lot will be levied against residents adjacent to the
neighborhood's roadways. The justification for assessments is attributed to
properties receiving benefit of the new pavement and the addition of concrete
curb and gutter. The assessable lot is based on a detached single family
home. Properties that abut the project and have access with their side or
rear yards will be assessed 1/3 of the assessable unit cost (see Figure 4).
The City will fund the portion of the project adjacent to Arden Park based on
an equivalent 11 buildable lots for its roadway frontage and based on general
public use of the roadway for access to Arden Park from Brookview Avenue.
PROJECT SCHEDULE: The following schedule is feasible from an Engineering standpoint:

Please consider widening the street near the
park entrance as many cars park along that
side of the road (especially in winter) making
backing out of our driveway very tricky and
sometims almost imposible. This widened area
could then safely be used for curbside parking.

RE: South Harriet Park (West) Resident Survey - Comment Sheet
c: Members of the Edina City Council
We received your Resident Survey in the mail'this past week, and our family's
response to your survey is enclosed. There was no Comment Sheet enclosed with the
survey as described in your cover letter - and so this letter has been prepared for your
review. An observation: your `survey' left a great deal to be desired. It's assumptive in
nature, and makes it pretty clear that decisions have already been made that affect our
neighborhood without any kind of quorum. Nevertheless, this letter outlines the
views of my family as well as quite a few of my neighbors with whom we've been
talking.
L In view of the fact that the original petition was created exclusively by and for the
residents of 53rd Street - due to their standing water / drainage problems on the
corners - the inclusion of the rest of the neighborhood into the plans for curb and
gutter is quite a bit of overkill, it seems to me. On the other hand, we have all
uniformly complained about the state of the street repair -or lack thereof- for several
years, and so having new streets is a good thing, overall. That is, considering the
increasing annual cost (read: amazingly high property taxes) to live in our Edina
neighborhood, the condition of our streets is deplorable.
Consequently, creating a curb and gutter system for those residents on 53rd who may
require such a system is perfectly within reason. And, of course, the costs should be
borne by those who have actually requested such an improvement. By the way, all
those petitioning residents on 53rd have automatic in- ground lawn watering systems
which may exacerbate the standing water problems on the corners.
2. The `need' for curbs and gutters elsewhere in the neighborhood has not been
clearly shown. It's apparent that the life of the existing street without the curbs and
gutters has been overlong. But that length of time is long, indeed. These streets are
well over 60 years old, and repairs in recent years have been scant to nonexistent.
`Saving the street' by installing curbs and gutters, as you pointed out during the first
meeting a few weeks ago, is not really apparent. Bottom line: we like our
neighborhood the way it is - with particular attention to the trees. Cutting mature
tree roots to install something that not everyone wants is a risky business, and taking
responsibility for killing trees must rest with the city.
(V
C7
3. New and decorative street lights seems like a nice touch. But again, you've gone too
far. No one has asked for, nor does anyone desire the complete revamping of the
lighting system to include mid -block lights. A goodly number of households in the
neighborhood already have in -yard lighting, or leave porch lights on overnight,
continuing the idea of `our' neighborhood. Safety issues at work here? Heck, it's too
bright, already.
4. The inclusion of that portion of Arden Park that borders the neighborhood is
another bit of `going too far.' It's a park. Does it need curb and gutter? Of course
not. Would there be benefit in creating a better drainage system than the one now in
place? Probably. But the bulkhead curb and gutter system that you proposed as
`favorable' throughout the area is not only ugly, but would visually turn our
neighborhood into a kind of south Minneapolis. No thank you.
5. Finally, a series of notes, letters, emails have been exchanged and informal in- street
meetings have been going on since this sequence began. You have a neighborhood that
is uniformly unhappy with the way this is being handled, whether or not they're in
favor of the proposed work. The topics of conversation range from comparing the
extremely high assessment for our neighborhood with others in the area who have had
similar work at half the cost, the likelihood of killing our beautiful trees, the
`automatic' widening of the streets to correspond with incoming federal monies, the
uniformity of assessment fees without regard for actual frontage, and the prospect of
making the whole area look like a computer - generated grid of streets that is straight
and true as an Iowa cornfield. Not good. Not good at all.
I'm sure we are all aware of the workload that you and the Council must be under. It's
no picnic, I'd imagine. On the other hand, as residents we care about our city and our
neighborhoods as much as we care about our own households. Giving thought to our
personal quality of life is as important as anything we do. Make no mistake, our
neighborhood is part of that importance.
Kindly give this situation more than a casual thought, as you so obviously have not
done with this kind of all-or- nothing offering. I imagine that if you provide the
residents here with a menu of alternatives rather than the yes -or -no proposition we
now have in front of us, you will not only get a better feeling for our collective
opinions, you'll engender an amount of respect that you do not now have as leaders of
our community. An example. the lack of a Comment Sheet with the survey seemed
purposeful and part of the `assumed -sale' that surrounds this project.
To be honest, the last thing we'd lice to do is to create a legal- status neighborhood
association just to have some control over situations like this. But it's been talked
about...
Thanks for your kind a ' n.

Re.: Proposed street improvements
I am very opposed to'curbs. and gutters being installed in this
neighborhood. The lack of curbs and gutters adds to the charm of r.rie area.
I wouldn't want them if there were no assessmentll
The proposed assessment is outrageous - - -and then the same amount no
matter what the size of the lot? This makes no sense.
The lighting and utility lines we have now are just fine: Nothing different
is needed.
I believe the minimum should be done to keep the streets in good repair
and safe.
Please see that each member of the city council receives a copy of this

Dear Mr. Lillehaug,
I have received your Resident Survey regarding "Improvement" A -204. I have completed it as
requested and it is enclosed. I have placed the word "Improvement" in quotes, as there are many of
us who believe that the proposed projects are not likely to improve our neighborhood. In fact, they
would destroy the unique character of our area Let me explain by discussing each project.
Many of us purchased homes in this area because the comfortable "rural -type" streets run right up to
the lawns. Adding gutters (with or without curbs) would greatly change the ambience of our street.
Long stretches of white concrete on both sides of the street would not be an attractive amenity. We
do not require more "definition" of the yard/roadway; and our traffic control is just fine, thank you.
In addition,Kellogg is known for its trees. Adding gutters would require removal of some of our
most stately trees. I have a large oak (probably over a hundred years old) at the southern edge of my
lot which is right at the street, as do my neighhbors to the north, and my neighbors across the street.
Cutting down three huge oaks within 100 feet of each other would severely damage our block and our
resale value. In this day of ecological awareness, such an act would be a travesty.
Relocating overhead utility lines underground would be, as you suggest, expensive. Trenching would
also require damaging our shrubs and tree roots. It is one thing to trench in utility lines in a newly
developing neighborhood with open fields. Doing so in our developed area would be damaging to our
property.
Though this is perhaps the least offensive project, there doesn't appear to be any need to increase
street lighting. In fact, it is rather pleasant to go out at night and see the stars mid -block without
night light pollution. Also, we do not have a crime problem nor any gangs hanging out mid- block.
So why, in this time of attempting to conserve electricity, would we Wd street lights?
For the above reasons, I respectfully request that you do not proceed with these projects. If there is
a real need to reconstruct storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water mains, then so be it. But then put
the street back the way it is, without unsightly curbs and gutters. I once lived in Minneapolis with
curbs and gutters and sidewalks. I moved to Kellogg to get away from that. Please don't ruin the
character of my neighborhood. I trust that you have other projects on which you could use the
money. We do too.

Dear Mr. Lillehaug:
This is in reply to your letter dated 11/24/04 regarding the Resident Survey.
Your cover letter is misleading because it does not inform residents that the estimated
residential assessment for street reconstruction is $11,700.00. I suggest you amend your
letter and inform all residents who are involved whit the estimated costs are regarding
street construction. Gutters, lights, and -bmied utilities are in addipon to this cost estimate.
Those who were not in attendances at the, original meeting need to know all the costs in
order to make a decision.
Finally, how can orA vote regarding relocating utility lines if you don't know the
estimated cost per residence?
Sincerely,
Lo 's . Mitera

I am writing to let you know that I strongly support the proposed roadway improvements proposed for my
neighborhood (53rd and Kellogg), especially the street reconstruction and curb and gutter portions of the
proposal. These improvements are greatly needed to improve drainage and provide yard protection (through
curbs). Although some in my neighborhood oppose these improvements, I'm sure the City will act in the long -term
best interests of the neighborhood and the city. Please forward this message to the appropriate City officials. If
you or anyone else have any questions, please fell free to contact me. Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Neighbor,
When you receive this letter there will have been a meeting Monday evening to discuss
concerns relating to the proposed neighborhood improvements. I'm happy to see many of
you have already taken a proactive position and have shared some important points. It is
my intent to attend tonight's meeting, however, in the event either of us are unable to
attend, .1 would like to share my thoughts, both from the prospective of a homeowner and
an area Realtor.
First, and perhaps of greatest significance, is the notion that "our neighborhood only"
benefits from Arden Park and should therefore assume responsibility for the considerable
road frontage contiguous to the park Arden Park is perhaps the busiest practicelgame
venue for hockey in East Edina, one of only a couple canoe portage locations in the
community (a system that runs from Lake Minnetonka to the Mississippi), and the sole
"pedestrian only" creek crossing in the City.
Second, is the disparity in cost between the recent White Oaks (Maple Road) project and
the proposal for our neighborhood? Irrespective of the absence of a park contribution,
there is no inflation model relative to this type of work that would explain the cost,
particularly since the Maple Road project also included sidewalk and lighting at a number
approximately 40% lower than our proposal without those items.
Third, are the two premises that the neighborhood is flat and therefore doesn't naturally
drain well and that curbing insures extended useful life; even though our streets lasted
nearly 60 years prior to entering a cycle of exacerbated engineering problems brought on
by age, neglect, and absence of maintenance. I would suggest you all observe 52nd Street
at Kellogg as well as 53°d Street at Kellogg and at Oaklawn. You should note (a
topographical survey should confirm) that there is significant grade slope to Wooddale
and to the creek. You should also note there is severe crowning of the roads throughout
the neighborhood, but particularly at these points, and it is that which is responsible for
much of the pooling and erosion. I believe that curbing without addressing the negative
grade issues will have no beneficial affect, where resurfacing while correcting grade
problems will probably correct drainage in and of it. In the event that it is determined that
some curbing is necessary to mitigate drainage problems, I do not see a situation that
would justify the need for curbs other than at select comers. I also believe that, should
that prove to be the case, it is a cost that should be born by the entire neighborhood, as
the navigability and safety of the immediate area roads benefit us all.
Fourth, there are no parts of the neighborhood that appear to have limitations for
emergency vehicles, nor does the neighborhood have the abundance of single garages and
single track driveways that contribute to excessive road parked vehicles, and the
neighborhood does not provide logical thru traffic to anywhere. These would be the types
of situations that might cause someone to consider the onerous costs and aesthetics of
removing boulevard trees and widening roads. It should be noted-that most of the existing
roads are wider than the existing roads in Country Club yet experience a fraction of the
traffic.
Fifth and finally, are a serious of more opinionated thoughts that in some cases are more
of a departure from the salient points and more a series of thoughts based on professional
experience or just going off on a rant. I don't want curbs. (other than selectively where
proven absolutely necessary), I think that a vintage home neighborhood without them
speaks to a somewhat, small town charm and differentiates the neighborhood from others
nearby. I do believe that the addition of an architectural light goes a long way towards
identifying the neighborhood as classic and vintage (not just old) and suspect that there
would be a property value increase to go along with the benefit of a more "human" scale
lighting. I think the benefit of fewer power outages and not having Asplund butcher the
trees would be nice, however, not enough to support the costs associated with burying the
utilities. Did the city of Edina become a `B" or "C" credit borrower? Where do we get in
line to buy "muni" bonds at 6.5 %? Have we been getting our fair share of city road
maintenance funds in recent years or have we been a fore gone conclusion? Is it just I, or
did the city exude a decidedly poor level of preparedness, absence of data, and perhaps a
casual less than responsible approach to spending "other peoples' money" at their first
meeting? How does. having serviceable roads (that I paid for) make my property values
go up 3 %? Tread carefully on discussions relating to the assessed value questions, as we
are for the most part under assessed when compared to other parts of Edina.

Steven, I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that you are doing a
great job with the planning and execution on the street improvement project
for W. 52nd, 53rd, Kellogg, Oaklawn and Brookview. I realize that you have
received some negative correspondence from others in the neighborhood, as
they printed copies of their e-mail to you and hand delivered them to all
affected homeowners. By reading some of this correspondence, you might get
the impression that everyone is against curbs and gutters. This could not
be further from the truth. I have yet to speak with anyone on our block
that is opposed to curbs and gutters. We all recognize the value in terms
of appreciation in property values, enhanced aesthetics and protection to
our lawn /landscaping. Considering the fact that the roadway will be
replaced regardless of the curb /gutter issue, it is shortsighted to
eliminate a feature that is projected to be only 20% of the total
assessment. This is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the
job done right. Please do not be deterred, you have our full support. I
look forward to moving on with this project. -Jon
Ps. Please feel free to share my correspondence with the City Counsel or
others interested in seeing this project succeed.

Sony for the delayed response. The current assessment practice for neighborhood reconstruction projects is
based on a "Residential Equivalent Unit" (REU); meaning all all properties are treated equal. That is except for
properties that have side or rear yards adjacent to the project which are assessed at 1/3 the REU.
Please let me know if our City staff misinformed you of the assessment policy.

There is confusion as to how the assessments will be determined. At the informational meeting we were
informed they would be, in most cases, an equal dollar amount per homestead. We have since been
advised that the assessment will be based on the linear footage each homestead has on the street. Please
clarify this for me and I will pass the information on. THANK YOU.

RE: South Harriet Park Street Improvement Project No. A -204
Dear City Councilmen/women:
My husband Mark and I want to express our concern regarding the proposed street improvement
project for our neighborhood South Harriet Park.
We agree that our streets need to be replaced and see the benefit of having curbs, gutters and
increased lighting. Our concern is with the cost per resident that will be assessed. We attended
the meeting on November 8, 2004 where Steven Lillehaug outlined the project and the estimated
assessment. I later spoke to him over the phone for more details regarding how the assessment
was calculated
The estimated assessment per resident is: $11,700 (including curbs and gutters) plus $1,300 for
lighting; total estimate of $13,000. Less than two years ago a similar project was completed in
an area of Edina near ours, on Maple Road It is my understanding that the per resident
assessment was approximately $8,000. Their project entailed curbs, gutters, lighting and
sidewalks, which included more than our proposed project This is an alarming difference and
we are having difficulty understanding why ours is so much higher.
A gentleman at the November a meeting asked if the residents were being assessed for the
portion of the project that runs the perimeter of Arden Park which covers approximately 3
blocks. His question was not answered but when I spoke to Steven he thought th-d it was
included in the resident assessment. We feel that the City (via resident taxes) should take on the
burden of park curbs, gutters and lighting and not the residents directly.
Although my husband and I fully support a needed street improvement project in our
neighborhood, the current assessment projection is too cost prohibitive for us.
Sincerely,

Re: City of Edina Improvement No. A -204
To: Wayne Houle, Steven Lillehaug
Edina City Council:
We have lived in this neighborhood for 8 years and appreciate the natural beauty we have here next
to the creek. Our neighbor to the north has lived here since 1942, built the home she lives in, and
her parents built the house we now live in. Our neighbors to the south have lived here since the 70's
and the neighbor beyond them grew up in that same house. There is history here. There is
community here. There is nature here.
We agree that something does need to be done about the condition of the street It has been
deteriorating for the past few years. Some of the patches have been less than adequate. However,
there is no need to change the fundamental feeling of this neighborhood. Curbs and gutters are an
urban intrusion. They also do not allow for the.natural cleaning of the runoff water before it enters
the creek. The creek is the lifeblood of this and many downstream communities, not to mention the
communities of wild birds, fish and mammals who depend on it
We have an idyllic spot here. One that is walking distance to shops and the grocery store, minutes
from downtown Minneapolis, and is also abundant with wild life and nature. Often we push aside our
'wild' neighbors to make so called improvements to our lives, only to find that our lives are greatly
diminished when they are gone.
We know that many in the neighborhood are upset about your proposals. Many do not want curbs
for aesthetic reasons, some for the loss of trees, and some from the shear shock of the estimated
cost All are valid reasons. We can imagine there are even some folks who would consider moving
rather than incur such a debt
We would ask that you reconsider the options for this neighborhood. We do not need curbs and
gutters. Replacing the existing roadways and regrading them to better accommodate the runoff
should be sufficient Altemative lighting is unnecessary and costly.
For some in this neighborhood the utilities are not under the roadway, so upgrading them,at this time
would be moot (Gas and water are under our street; sewer, electric, phone, cable are for the most
part between the houses in back). Some people have already buried their "overhead". utilities, for
others it would be a prohibitive cost
We appreciate your consideration of our concerns.
Sincerely,
Elspeth Nairn Letitia Zilar

Dear Mr. Houle:
I attended the informational meeting on November 8th and have reviewed the Petition to the City Council
dated September 11, 2002. Based upon the information provided to us thus far, my wife and I cannot
support the proposal. We would like to make the following points:
1. You stated at the meeting that this project has been initiated by residents of the neighborhood. This
seems to be a stretch. The petition is dated over 2 years ago and requests only a "storm sewer - comer
53rd and Oaklawn ".
2. The petition was signed by a very small number of the people you now propose to assess under your
proposal. Some of the people who signed the petition had no idea what the assessment would be and do
not, now, support your proposal
3. My wife and I will not support any proposal that includes curbs and gutters. The curbs and gutters will
only detract from the beauty of our neighborhood.
4. The proposed curbs and gutters will result in the loss of many trees which are on the street line. The
curbs and gutters would also change the look of or destroy the stone walls my neighbors and we have at
the street line.
5. Your proposal is much more expensive, for some reason, than the project on Maple Road.
6. Your proposal to charge 6.4% interest on any outstanding balance of the assessed costs is
unreasonable. It does not cost the City of Edina anything close to that to borrow money. We don't believe
this project should be a fund raiser for the City of Edina.
Please acknowledge receipt of this e-mail.

Robert L. Shutes

RE: - South Harriet Park (West) Area Improvements
City of Edina, Improvement No. A -204
Dear Mrs. Fuegner.
Thank you for your letter (dated December 2, 2004) addressing the referenced project
and survey /comment sheet. Your comments were received by the Mayor and Council.
The following is a response to several questions and comments that you indicated.
We will be sending an updated information sheet to you and your neighbors regarding
the project with a summary of the costs and results of the recent survey. Residents are
encouraged to further comment on this updated information. All comments will be
forwarded to the Council for consideration. Additionally, since the Information Meeting,
we have revised and included the Arden Park street frontage (City Park Property) into
the assessment computation as equivalent residential units. The City will pay for this
portion of the project, which reduces the individual assessment amount.
The project's feasibility study is tentatively scheduled for presentation to the Council in
January 2005, along with the Public Hearing. Notice of the Public Hearing will be given
t0 you at least 10 days in advance. -. Please- contact us with-- any furthet questions Or
comments.
Sincerely,
Steven L. Lillehaug, P.E., P.T.O.E.

Memo: To the mayor and members of the Edina City Council
Re: The South Harriet Park (West) Improvement No. A -204
On November 8 I attended the informational meeting and heard some
details of-the proposal. At that time, residents were promised a
communication about each part of the project, related cost esti^
mates, and the opportunity to express our preferences via survey.
On Nov. 20we received the enclosed survey, which .I find inadequate
for the following reasons:
1.) No option was even presented about wether or not we want our
streets-reconstructed.
2.) No cost was given for such a major road and sewer assessment,
even if it were deemed desireable.
3.) Man* of the people who could not attend the meeting assumed
from the survey that the curbs gutter chdice Included the
cost of the road surface and Infrastructure. They were not
informed that it would cost approximately $9,400 for that
alone, before any add -Ons for the curbs/gutters, lights, and
underground utilities. In essenceF we were not ableto make
a full, informed, and valid choices.
Another part of the plan(.again, unknown to those not present]
dealt with the fact that we would be absorbing costs No; the Arden
Park Parkway repairs and, also, these for the-- walls, bolders and
landscaping that residents have constructed oh` the' 'cIt ''s right -
of- way. I would contend (hopefully, without eing con entious}
that those two areas should not be funded by assessments to all of
us but by the city (Park Dept. ?) in the first instance and by the
city and /or the private property owners in the second.
Thank you for your consideration of these Items,

Edina, MN. 55424-1394
Subject: Proposed Improvement No. A -204 (Attached)
Dear Mayor and City Council members:
This letter is to express my opinion and concerns receding the proposed improvement
subject as above.
I reside at 5216 Kellogg Ave. S. I have lived in Edina for 16 years. My experience with
the services in Edina has been very positive and this is the first time I have expressed my
concerns B any p `*"
Background: Wayne Houle and Steve L.illehaug ir&mied us at the November 8, 2004
informational meeting that 12 property owners petitioned the City Council on September
11, 2002 regarding impaovemeats to their sI P, F' because of water drainage problems.
They requested a storm sewer on the corner of 53'd & Oaklawn and curb and gutters
between Wooddale and Broolmew on 53'd Sheet. Instead of addressing the problem
with the residents who signed the petition in 2002, the project as proposed by the City
Planner, was expanded to inchide 85 residences to be completed in 2005. I was not
contacted to sign the petition. The roadway in fi nt of my property is adequate and with
the addition of a new storm drain in 2003, rainwater dtuins properly into the sewer
system. I am very satisfied with the roadway and water drainage.
It seems to me the project No. A-204, as proposed, has taken on a life of its own
primarily because the City Planner now has a catalyst to not only upgrade the shed
surfaces in an expanded area, but also to update all residence's water and gas entrance
facilities; replace waste sewer pipes; bury cable television and telephone entrance
facilities ( optionally), add crabs, and street lights (optional). The entire area would be
under construction fiom April- October 2005 at an estimated cost of $962, 000.00. This
equates to be $11, 700.00 per equivalent residential unit.(ERin. ,
As the Mayor and a member of the City Council, I hope you would listen and respond to
my concerns prior to making a decision. You should either (1) respond to the petitioners
on 53'd Sheet and offer them a solution to their problem and not involve the other
residences or.(2) if you involve the additional 73 residences, please be prepared to
explain why the planning department's proposal is the winning proposal. Be prepared to
explain the total costs of the project and why alternative proposals, which include lower
costs, could not be considered. I object to the proposal A-204 because the City Planners
have expanded the original request and it does not benefit the majority of households.
If you choose to respond to those petitioners on 53`d Street, the remainder of this letter is
moot if you plan to involve the other 73 residences, then I have some suggestions for
con�idera� ion and request an explanation at the public hearing on December 7, 2004 as to
why the project was expanded at an estimated price of $17,800.00 per ERU.
Role of Edina City Government. The role of City government, among other things, is
to collect taxes and provide for the common good of its citizens, to Muds police, fire,
schools, roads and utility . It seems to me that government has an
obligation to repair my street, provide storm sewers, effective water drainage and pay for
it out of our property and state gasoline taxes. In 16 years, only one street project has
o=zrod on my street and that was to replace storm drains between 5Vd and 53rd Streets
on Kellogg Avenue in 2003. In fact, Kellogg Ave. is not a "through street" because it is
blocked to the north by 5V6 Street, which parallels Mmnehaha Creek and therefore is not
a very busy thoroughfare except for residents, delivery vehicles, and school busses. The
roadway surfwe should have a longer useful life than average because it has minimal
traffic. The problem, it seem to me, is there are not enough storm drains especially on
the comers where water collects. - There are drains in the middle of our block and when
they were replaced m 2003, the water drains properly into the storm. seweers.. The
following are some questions for consideration:
1. Does the city budget a certain amount for annual sheet maintenance from our
taxes?
2. How are monies appropriated to repairfupgrade the streets and storm sewers?
3. How much money is the City expending for this project? Why not address the
problem and not enlarge the pr+ojed to include other residences?
My position is that the City of Edina, if it plans to move ahead with the project, should
bear some eamvalent amount of tax money because it has an obligation to provide
upkeep for streets, lighting and sewers. It seems ironic that money is available for a City
Hall, Police and Fire equipment, schools, playgcvunds, athletic fields and gymnasia etc.
What about spending money on our roadway and attendant improvements? All cities
use the roadways and utilities, but not all use the schools and athletic fields. Some roads
are repaired (Woodale between Valley View and 50m Streets in 2004) and other projects
involve an assessment. Please explain your amessing authority at the meeting and how
other similar projeds were fu nde&
Eanivabmt Residential Unit (ERU1: Each residence is deemed to be equal using this
method of assessment I recommend that each Odperty be assessed based on how much
property (square footage) abuts the roadway. Others, are subsidizing those who have
doublelbWe lots or cornea lots. You should apply the ramie method of assessing as you
use for property evaluation. I disagree with this nidbod of assessment.
Curbs and natters: I am not in favor of this solution. Curbs and gutters .Omp the
chaffer of the neighborhood and Rglft will Muse the death of several 100- year -old
oak trees on Kellogg Avenue. This will reduce the market value of my lrolerty. All yard
sprinkler systems and any other systems will have to be reinstalled at considerable
expense.
Storm drains: Installing storm drains on the corners of Kellogg and Vd and 53`d
Streets would alleviate standing water and drainage problems. Our drains in the middle of
Kellogg between 52°d and 53'd Sheets were replaced in 2003 and all drainage is adequate.
v,.
Assessment Any assessment levied against my residence, will increase my Property
value according to Mr. Houle and, therefore, it will also increase my property taxes. This
is double taxation and I strenwusly object to it.
1. why are 73 residences assessed for this project when they did not request it?
For your inforn ation, my taxable market value increased in 2005 by $75,000 and my
Edina taxes and overall taxes iced by 930/6!
Ards land ad aeent to Brookview Ave: The east side of Brookview Ave. from
VO Stred to 54 Street is adjacent to the park. Since there are no residences, the
imp�+ov ients to the streets as proposed are to be borne by all the residences in the
psoposaL I suspect the project was expanded because those who petitioned the City
Council and those included by the City Planner could now "share" in the total costs of the
curbing, resurfacing, storm sbVVa% lighting and other costs associated with this portion of
the pre ject. If throe were residences along the east side of the park the total costs would
be reduced considerably.
1. Should not the Park Board fund be assessed far their share of the coats?
2. Whet amount is available from the pads systein to cover their fair share of the
costs to be applied to this project? (Approximately the equivalent of 20
residences).
3. There are other residences west of Arden Park who are not included in the project.
that are actually closer to the park than my woe. The logic used regarding
who pays for the "impl+ov" in this assessment is beyond my
COMPehension.
' In summary, I an not in favor of the project as proposed. I recommend resurfacing of the
streets, repek the storm drains and add new ones where applicable at the City of Edina!s
expense. In fict, it could be argued this $1, 000, 000.00 tax is excessive when the City of
Edina has neglected to upgrade roads, sewers and utilities over several years and now
want the residents to P" for improvements which should have been paid for out of their
property and gas taxes. I s"nak encoarane von to reject this brobdsaL
If you approve this project, my total 2005 property taxes including the assessment will be
$19,000.00! I look forwdid t+a your response on December 7, 2004.

Subject: Neighborhood improvement project
First, thank you for your presentation Monday night to the 6:00 PM
group. I know things, like that are not easy or pleasant...
I measured the width of the street out in front of our property - 5228
Brookview Avenue - and it came out 26 feet, grass to grass. I take that
as a good sign...
Our personal concern relates to the driveway. We spent considerable
money (Rage did the work...) putting in an exposed aggregate driveway.
We hate to see part of it cut off and replaced by what we would consider
an ugly white concrete apron. The first expansion joint is 516" up from
the street edge of the driveway. ,I would guess that would be a "natural"
for your paving crew. I don't know if it's possible, but anything that
could be done to minimize the length of that apron and maximize the
preservation of the existing driveway would be greatly appreciated.

Feasibility Study
Sunnyslope Neighborhood Imp. No. BA -326
January 26, 2005
INITIATION & ISSUES: The Sunnyslope Neighborhood project was initiated partially by a resident
petition to address several issues including drainage problems at Dale Drive
and East Sunnyslope Road, sidewalk along West 501h Street, permanent
street surfacing with curb and gutter (in some areas), and ornamental street
lighting. The Engineering Department expanded this area and included the
neighborhood as outlined in Figure 1 as part of the City's planning process to
update the critical infrastructure within this neighborhood.
The following are existing features and resident comments that present
issues in determining the feasibility of the project and are addressed in this
report:
• Surface rainwater drainage issues.
• Frequent watermain and service breaks.
• Poor condition of existing pavement.
• Existing landscaping, retaining walls, driveways, etc.
• Existing overhead utility lines and poles.
• Concerns with pedestrian safety and vehicle speeds.
• Requests for a traffic signal light on West 501h Street
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The majority of the roadways and utilities in this neighborhood were originally
constructed in the 1940's. The roadway widths vary in this neighborhood
ranging from 26 -ft to 32 -ft with a few locations of existing curb and gutter and
no sidewalks. The pavement condition varies throughout the neighborhood
but is in relatively poor condition overall (see Photos 1 and 2).

Photo 2. Existing Pavement Condition
Street grades vary throughout the neighborhood but many locations are
relatively flat and level. There is existing storm sewer in the area, but overall
the surface drainage is very poor (see Photos 3 and 4). Additionally, the
existing storm sewer line located along Dale Drive at East Sunnyslope Road
lacks positive drainage due to the elevations of the sewer line relative to the
adjacent water level of Minnehaha Creek.

Photo 4. Existing Drainage and Pavement Condition
In recent years, watermain and water service breaks are occurring with
increased frequency in this neighborhood while minimal sanitary sewer
blockages have been reported.
Many property owners have placed boulders or other obstructions within the
City right -of -way creating barriers along the roadway. These types of barriers
and landscaping items are prohibited from being placed in the boulevard in
accordance with Edina City Code 1200.02. Other typical items exist adjacent
to the roadway such as retaining walls, concrete driveways, landscaping,
shrubs, trees and fences.
Much of the private utility lines in this neighborhood are overhead (with the
exception of the gas lines). Street lighting consists of standard "cobra head"
lights mounted on wood poles that are typically located at the intersections
with some midblock locations.
PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENTS: The Sunnyslope Neighborhood project involves the following improvements:
• Reconstructing the existing bituminous pavement.
• Constructing new concrete curb and gutter.
• Replacing the existing watermain and the water services from the new
watermain to the curb boxes (valves located at the property lines).
• Repairing the sanitary sewer where needed.
• Revising the storm sewer to accommodate the new concrete curb and
gutter and correct the existing storm sewer problems along Dale Drive.
• Installing drain tile where needed to allow the property owners to connect
their sump pump discharges directly into the storm sewer system.
• Installing new ornamental lighting.

A neighborhood informational meeting was held on November 9, 2005 to
gather data and answer questions the homeowners had relating to the
project. Over 26 residents attended this meeting. Input from this meeting
and comments received throughout the planning of this project have been
included in this report as an attachment.
A neighborhood survey was sent to learn the favorability of several options
being considered with this project. The results of the survey are shown in
Table 1.

Table 1. Survey Results
The following is a summary regarding the survey results including staff's
recommendations:
• The majority of residents do not prefer new concrete curb and gutter —
Staff recommends constructing concrete curb and gutter in this
neighborhood. Concrete curb and gutter tends to be more cost effective
over the life of the street, reduces pavement failure, provides safety,
controls drainage, provides driveway and traffic control, and aids cleaning
and snow plowing. Concrete curb and gutter is specifically needed to
properly address the drainage issues throughout the neighborhood.
• The majority of residents do not prefer relocating overhead utilities to
underground — Staff does not recommend pursuing this issue since a
direct benefit to each property for this improvement is difficult to
substantiate. However, residents may pursue this option and coordinate
directly with the utility companies if desired. (Staff will assist coordinating
with the utility companies if requested.)

• The majority of residents prefer installing decorative street lighting
(Traditional Style) — Staff recommends installing decorative street lighting
in this neighborhood as part of this project. Street lighting is proposed to
be installed at the intersections and several midblock locations.
• The majority of residents do not prefer installing a sound wall with a
special assessment — Staff does not recommend pursuing this issue
beyond what has been previously approved as part of the Mn /DOT sound
wall project without the support of those that would be directly assessed
for this improvement since a direct benefit to each property for this
improvement is difficult to substantiate.
• The majority of residents do not perceive a traffic safety issue between
vehicles and pedestrians /bicyclists in this neighborhood.
• The majority of residents do not prefer constructing sidewalks in this
neighborhood. Staff does not recommend constructing sidewalks in this
neighborhood. However, the sidewalk along West 50 "' Street between
Dale Drive and Browndale Avenue is recommended to be reconstructed
with a boulevard between the curb and the walk if easements are granted
by the adjacent property owners. (If easements are granted, the sidewalk
reconstruction project would be included as part of a separate project.
West 501h Street is designated as a State Aid route and State Aid funds
can be obtained and applied to the sidewalk improvement.)
• The majority of residents do not prefer implementing a traffic calming
device in this neighborhood — Staff does not recommend implementing
traffic calming devices in this neighborhood as part of this project since a
direct benefit to each property for this improvement is difficult to
substantiate. Additionally, traffic surveys were performed on East
Sunnyslope Road and Dale Drive in September 2000. The Monday
through Friday average daily traffic volumes were 327 and 113 vehicles
per day and the 851h- percentile speeds were 31.5 mph and 27.9 mph,
respectively. These vehicle volumes and speeds are very typical
throughout Edina neighborhoods on local roadways.
The survey results indicated that a barrier style curb (6618, B -Head) is more
desirable versus the surmountable style curb (drive -over, S- mount). Staff
recommends installing a barrier style curb and gutter as it will work well with
the existing topography within this neighborhood (see Figure 2). A barrier
style curb provides the best control of water runoff and better defines the
roadway while providing protection to the sod and pavement edge from
snowplow damage in the winter months.

The pavement throughout this neighborhood appears to be at the end of its
useful life while the costs to maintain and repair the roadways are steadily
increasing. Overlaying or seal coating the pavement in this neighborhood is
not feasible.
The proposed width for the roadways throughout the neighborhood is 29 -ft
back -to -back of curb (Hilltop Lane is 31 -ft). Intersection geometrics are
proposed to be revised to reduce the pavement area and create more
standard T- intersections (see Figure 3). Trees will be protected and impacts
to the trees will be minimized.

Staff is continuing to analyze the utility repairs /replacements and will include
the needed improvements with the final plans. Other utility activities usually
include replacement of gas mains within the neighborhood, which is
determined and coordinated by the local gas utility company.
At this time, staff is not recommending the installation of a new traffic signal
light on West 50th Street at Dale Drive. This improvement is currently in the
City's five -year Capital Improvements Program scheduled for 2009. A traffic
study must be performed and specific warrants must be met for approval of a
signal at this location. Additionally, 50 percent of the cost of this signal (if
warranted) could be funded through State Aid funds, as West 50th Street is a
designated State Aid Route.
RIGHT -OF -WAY
& EASEMENTS The right -of -way throughout the Sunnyslope neighborhood is typically 60 feet
wide (Hilltop Lane is 40 -ft). All proposed improvements stay within this right -
of -way and no additional easement requirements are anticipated.
FEASIBILITY: This project is feasible from an engineering and City standpoint.
PROJECT COSTS: The total estimated project cost is $1,226,000 (including approximately
$140,000 for the ornamental lighting). The total cost includes indirect costs
of 15% for engineering and clerical costs and 7.5% for first year finance
costs. The estimated construction cost does not include storm sewer,
watermain or utility improvements. Final utility improvements will be
determined during the final design and will be funded through the respective
utility fund. Funding for the entire project will be from a combination of
special assessment and utility funds.
ASSESSMENTS: A special assessment of approximately $16,800 per residential
equivalent unit or assessable lot will be levied against residents adjacent
to the neighborhood's roadways. The justification for assessments is
attributed to properties receiving benefit of the new pavement, the addition of
concrete curb and gutter and the addition or ornamental street lighting. The
assessable lot is based on a detached single family home. Properties that
abut the project and have access with their side or rear yards will be
assessed 1/3 of the assessable unit cost (see Figure 4).

Virtually all the unsafe traffic conditions are caused by speeding residents and school buses and undisciplined
children. Residents should abstain from speeding and be more responsible for their own children. Traffic calming
devices are not a substitute for consideration and responsibility. To pay or such devices s absurd. The storm drain at
E. Sunnysope 8 Dale was addressed just 2 years ago. Why re-do it now? Does I have to do with flood Insurance?
what assurances do we have against cost over -run? These steels' bstetl 60 years who curb or gumers. Lars go
another 60 years.

Of these issues. I am most passionate about the sidewalks and the street lighting. We have such a wonderful n'hwlod,
but doesn't look as nice as it should. Sidewalks and lights would really make it a much more beautiful and
pedestraiffrIe dly area. it would also aide in the safety of our families as there would be somewhere to walk out of
the stree.

The wall near Hwy 100 would benefit some properties. However, it doesnot benefit our property at all. The speed
bumps or egnecialy turnabouts would be a hindrance. This would be a waste of funds. We haven't dashed curb 8
gutter since moving here 10.5 years ago. However, trucks have hacked out about 12 -18' of lawn causing an ugly
appearance. We now feel it would be beneficial.

The way that the approval process has transpired regarding the sound barrier project on
highway 100 north of 50m is disturbing. To my knowledge there is one remaining section
of sound wall on the east side of highway 100 north of 50" to be completed that has been
halted in the court of public opinion.
If the final portion of the sound wall project is not completed, the effectiveness of the
wall north of the creek will be compromised and the homeowners south of the creek and
north of 50'b will be left without a sound wall to reduce current sound levels that are well
beyond State noise guidelines and on the rise.
I was not informed of the public meeting to discuss the sound wall issue but happened to
see it on cable television. The council made the decision to table the completion- of the
final section of the sound wall project due to a few neighbor's opposition to the project
based on the basis their out of pocket expense to pay for the wall over a period of time.
The sound barrier decision is not a matter of public opinion but of public welfare. The
public is not fully apprised of all the issues surrounding this decision but the city
engineers and officials do and are charged to actin the public's best interest. One
significant issue that will dramatically increase the traffic noise is the increased traffic
and the resulting noise in our neighborhood as a result of the upgrades to highway 100
north of 394 soon to be completed. .
If the entire sound barrier project north of 50 was presented and handled as one project,
this section of the hwy 100 corridor noise reduction would be completed and fully
functional for ALL concerned. One council member stated at the meeting that he was
voting against approval knowing that approval was the right thing to do. I don't
appreciate city officials making decisions based who is making the loudest noise in
voicing their personal agenda.
I will say it again; this decision is an issue of public welfare not acquiescing to a few
neighbors who are willing to voice their opinion at a meeting to accomplish their personal
agenda

Edina City Hall
4801 West 50'' Street
Edina, MN 55424 -1394
Dear Mr. Lillehaug:
I attended the public information meeting held on November 9, 2004, and I have been reviewing
the Survey and Comment Sheet recently mailed to all Sunnyslope residents. The issues involved
are serious enough so that I need more comment space than provided on the back of the survey.
I moved into my house on Ridge Place April 1, 1965, so I will soon be a 40 -year resident. I have
never felt deprived by the absence of curbs and gutters, sidewalks, or additional street lights in
all those years. Sunnyslope is a delightful area in which to live, less urbanized than the Country
Club area, with more rolling terrain, larger and irregular shaped lots, many mature trees, and a
more casual semi -rural appearance. I like it that way.
Necessary repairs to water and sewer lines and resurfacing of the streets are all well and good
and should be opposed by no one; we all want sound, pot - hole -free streets. But "If it ain't broke,
don't fix it," remains a sound motto. I recently watched the resurfacing of west 50`h street south .
of Sunnyslope. It was done in a few days with minimal disruption of traffic. Why could not a
similar process be applied to the Sunnyslope streets without making a summer -long mess? I have
invited old friends from the east coast to be my house guests this summer, and the last thing I
want to show them is a neighborhood torn up by heavy machinery.
Burying utility lines is an idea that sounds attractive, but I question whether it is worth the cost
and the mess that would result. Trenching machines would excavate along the back of
established lots, tearing up gardens and tree roots and causing at least a short interruption of
power. My electric and telephone lines come underground from the power poles, so the change
would not be a'problem for me, but remember that with no power poles everyone would have to
.have their, power lines, telephone lines and TV cables buried, and would have to have a hole
punched in their basement walls below ground level for entry of the lines. If we had suffered a
wind storm that knocked down trees and power poles, I would support rebuilding with
underground utilities. To change the perfectly acceptable power distribution system that has
served the neighborhood since the late 1940's just for aesthetics would not seem good sense.
Currently we have street lights at all street intersections. What purpose would be served by
adding additional lamp posts between intersections?
The one improvement that could be justified by conditions that have changed since the
Sunnyslope area was developed is the sound barrier at highway, 100. The highway has been
widened from two lanes to three in each direction and traffic is much heavier than years ago. A
barrier would benefit West Sunnyslope residents especially, but when the wind is from the west
the traffic noise is evident to others as well.
Thanks to Minnehaha Creek, Sunnyslope has no through traffic Any "traffic calming measures"
therefore would be directed at residents coming and going and the occasional delivery truck.
Because the most remote house in Sunnyslope is no more than three blocks from 50th street, a
posted speed limit of 25 or even 20 miles per hour would be reasonable. If an Edina policeman.
were to give only two or three tickets to speeders, the message would spread through tho .
neighborhood like gossip, and any traffic problem would be solved. This makes far more sense.
than penalizing the majority of residents with speed bumps, traffic circles, and such nonsense.
I hope these thoughts from a long time resident have been helpful.
Very truly yours,
D vid Ea

Subject: Sunnyslope Project
Dear Mr. Houle,
Thank you for leading an informative meeting at the Edina City hall last Tuesday evening. I am pleased that the
city of Edina works hard to keep in touch with the residents and seeks input form the residents. As my husband
and I mentioned last Tuesday, we are most concerned about the difficulty we experience trying to enter onto 50th
Street from either East Sunnyslope of Dale Drive. This safety issue is far and away our biggest concern with
respect to our neighborhood. Occasionally during our casual conversations with other neighborhood residents we
have asked them if this is lack of a street light is a concern to them. Our neighbors have always emphatically
responded, 'YES."
I sincerely hope it will be possible to provide our neighborhood with a stop light at either East Sunnyslope or at
Dale Drive within the next year or so. ` I honestly believe this is a pressing safety issue. I think that if you or your
colleagues were to attempt to exit our neighborhood onto 50th Street during rush hour ( turning left is nearly
impossible) you would experience what we face on a daily basis.
My second highest priority for our neighborhood concerns noise abatement. I was surprised to learn that you
thought there was little interest in this issue among our residents. My feeling is that the Sunnyslope neighborhood
residents are indeed interested in noise abatement. I hope this issue can be further explored at our next
meeting.
A third concern of mine is that the economical benefits to residents in our neighborhood match the economical
costs to those same residents. If a neighborhood improvement will significantly improve the value of afew homes
in our neighborhood, then the residents who reap the benefit from the neighborhood improvement should be the
ones to substantially pay the cost of that improvement. From what I heard at the Tuesday evening meeting, I was
not certain that this will be true for the Sunnyslope project.
Fourthly, I am in favor of more appealing lighting in our neighborhood. I was, however, disappointed that you say
there will not be an increase in lighting but simply an upgrading of existing lighting. I think our neighborhood is
very dark. I would be in favor of additional lighting for our neighborhood.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Catherine Mitchell

Thank you for your e-mail. Your comments will be forwarded to the Council.
The Council will be receiving a copy of the Feasibility Report (South Harriet Park West Improvement A -204)o n
Tuesday, February 1, 2005. We will make it available to the Public at the same time on the following website:
http• / /www.ci.edina.mn.us /Pages /L4 -17a ConstructionProjects.htm
We will be sending out individual notification letters to you within the next couple of days as well as an updated
information letter.
Staff is aware of the issues you raise regarding the current and potential change in the City's assessment policy.
Staff will be recommending that the Council accept the project based on the current assessment policy. And,
upon completion of the review of the assessment policy by the Council, if changes are made to the policy, our
recommendation to the Council will be that the 2005 projects will fall under this new policy. As you indicated, the
current policy is 100% by the benefited property owners. That percentage can only go down from there. The final
assessment hearing will be held after the completion of the project.
Please contact me with any further questions or comments. Thank you.

Subject: Improvement A -204
Steve, thank you for your e-mail regarding the most recent assessment numbers.
I understand that the City Council is scheduled to consider the South Harriet Park West Roadway
Improvements on February 15, 2005. 1 suggest that this meeting be rescheduled for a later date for two
reasons.
First, the City Council is in the midst of considering changes to our property tax assessment policy.
Until the existing policy is affirmed or a new policy is adopted, the council should table consideration of
Improvement A -204. The residents of this area do not want to be assessed 100% of the costs associated
with Improvement A -204, only to learn that future projects will be assessed at something less than 100 %.
1/31/2005
Page 2 of 2
Second, since last November, 2004, the residents affected by Improvement A -204 have been promised a
copy of the feasibility study and a summary of the survey of residents. As of this date, two weeks
before Improvement A -204 is to be considered by the City Council, we still don't have the promised
material. Fairness dictates that we have an reasonable amount of time to review the promised material
before any consideration of this matter by the City Council.
would appreciate you forwarding this e-mail to all city council members and the Mayor. I would also
appreciate prompt consideration of the issues raised.

MINUTES OF THE
Special Meeting
Edina Transportation Commission
Thursday, January 6, 2005
Edina City Hall
4801 West 50th Street
Community Room
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Fred Richards, Marie Thorpe, Jean White, Warren Plante, Joni Kelly ' Bennett, Les
Wanninger, Dean Dovolis ,
MEMBERS ABSENT:
STAFF PRESENT:
Wayne Houle, Steve Lillehaug, Sharon Allison
1. Chair Richards called the meeting to order.
11. New Business
a. 1-494 Corridor Commission Information
Plante reported that he attended the December meeting of the 1-494 Commission. He said
Representative Ron Erhardt, chair of the Transportation Committee, was also present as an
invited guest. Plante said Erhardt reported that transportation is not, the priority for the
legislatures; K -12 funding is. He reported that the Governor is recommending a $4.5 billion
bonding package plus increases in certain fees because he is not in favor of new taxes.
Erhardt said he believes there would be enough votes to get a 10, cents gas tax increase. He
also noted that consensus is needed amongst the various groups that are developing
individual transportation plans to bring the best ideas forward to the legislatures and he's
optimistic that a package could pass. Richards asked that this be placed on the agenda as an
action item for further discussion. He also asked that staff contact Erhardt for information
regarding increasing the gas tax, so that the Commissioners can discuss how they can help
the process.
Plante suggested having a Commissioner attend these meetings and recommended asking
the Council to draft a proposal to the legislatures and federal representatives implementing the
new tax law. Wanninger volunteered to attend the next meeting, which is scheduled for
January 12th.
111. Old Business
a. Public Comments Received to Date
Public comments received to date were distributed to the Commissioners prior to this meeting,
with the exception of one letter that was sent to White (staff to copy and distribute). Richards
said the two primary focuses of the comments are on the benefited area and participation.
Richards said there appears to be a misunderstanding or miscommunication in the community
that the Commission is working on substantiative issues based on comments received.
Richards would like the record to reflect that there has not been any proposal made or talked
about by the Commission. Instead, their focus has been on creating a policy that would
become a road map to handle substantiative issues. Dovolis expressed similar sentiments.
Bennett said this could have been avoided had the Commissioners decided to commence
differently and past history in the Country Club Neighborhood has helped to set the current
tempo. Thorpe said it is sad that this is being made into a Country Club Neighborhood issue
and distracting from what the policy is about. Wanninger said traffic and traffic related
problems are real and must be dealt with and neighborhoods fighting against each other where
this is concerned is "plain stupid." He said each Commissioner has the responsibility to
communicate accurate information and he is not sure that this has always been the case.
Lillehaug announced the following upcoming meetings:
• Regular Transportation Commission Meeting — Thursday, Jan. 20th, 7 to 9 p.m. (Please
note this date was an error — the meeting will be held at the regular date and time on
Thursday, Jan. 27th, 6 to 8 p.m.)
• Greater Southdale Study Joint Workshop - Saturday, Jan. 29th, 8 to Noon
Lillehaug said of the 170 -plus public comments received, including those from the open house,
the majority came from the northeast area and a scant amount from outside the City limits
(Minneapolis and St. Louis Park).
b. Draft Policy Benefited and Impacted Areas — Alternate A and Alternate B
Lillehaug said he created two alternate plans for the benefited and impacted areas because
many people seem to be dissatisfied with them based on comments received.
Alternate A includes the petition -to- study, survey -to -study and the survey for final
implementation. In the petition -to -study phase only those properties within the benefited area
would be notified because those are the properties that will be assessed. A minimum of 25%
of surveys should be returned with a majority agreeing to the issues. All costs would be
assessed to the properties including costs associated with performing the feasibility study.
The survey -to -test would be the impacted area and notification would be given to all residents
within the impacted area. After the test period, residents would be surveyed to see if they
would like to proceed with permanent implementation.
Alternate B includes notifying everyone within the benefited (assessed) and impacted areas
during the petition -to- study. The impacted area would be within 500 feet of the benefited area
(keeping in mind that the 500 feet can be changed as needed). The survey -to -test stays the
same as well as the survey for permanent implementation.
What is listed in the October 2004 draft policy is very similar to Alternate A, except Alternate A
requires that a certain percentage of surveys be returned in order to proceed.
Bennett noted that Minneapolis uses a higher percentage for the basis of support, while
Thorpe cited an example that required a lower percentage. Lillehaug said he is familiar with
the support requirements from various cities and the support level that is being recommended
was arrived at based on the consensus of the Commissioners. Lillehaug said while. these are
defined the Commission has the authority to change them as needed.
Where assessment is concerned, Lillehaug said all costs will be assessed to the property
owners, including traffic studies, if the project is approved. Therefore, property owners should
2
be made aware of this. Lillehaug said Bloomington only assess those property owners who
are in favor of the project.
c. Draft Policy — Review and Consideration for Recommendation to the City Council
Dovolis motioned that staff add language specifying that all costs, including studies done, will
be assessed to the benefited area if project is approved. Seconded. by White.
Ayes: 7
Motion carried.
Dovolis motioned that in order for a project to move forward 30% of residents must respond
from the benefited area with 65% in favor of the project. If this is not met, a recommendation
would be made to Council to not proceed further. Seconded by Plante.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 3
Motion carried.
Reword the policy such that the Benefited Area and Impacted Area shall be defined by the
Commission to include the benefited area guidelines as a minimum.
Ayes: 6
Nays: 1
Motion carried.
Bennett motioned to have all references to traffic calming for volume control very tightly
defined or, at a minimum, a defined definition of impacted area or notice area for a proposal to
divert traffic to correspond with the one in the Minneapolis policy. Motion failed for a lack of
support.
In reference to a citizen's letter regarding clarity of language in the policy, Bennett asked what
is the reason for including the Edina Transportation Plan in this policy. Bennett does not
believe it should be combined into this current document because it confuses the public. The
consensus is to keep the plan as is.
Thorpe motioned to include the approximate number of vehicles that typically travels on local
streets. The suggested number in the City's Comprehensive Plan is 1,000. Seconded by
Dovolis.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 3
Motion carried.
Residents Comments
Tim Frederick, 4188 W. 44' Street. Mr. Frederick said as he understood it, this policy was to
engage the public and provide information to the elected officials in a way that was better than
before and based on good science. He believes there are a lot good things that staff has not
included and the Commissioners have been prohibited to make decisions based on what was
provided.
Kristi Anderson, 4140 W. 44th Street. Ms. Anderson stated that she agreed with Mr. Frederick.
She asked Lillehaug how many comments were received and favorability. Lillehaug stated
approximately 170 comments were received but he did not break them down according to
those for or against the policy. Bennett said of the approximately 170 received 150 were Edina
3
residents, 9 St. Louis Park and 2 Minneapolis; and those opposing the draft far exceeded
those supporting it.
Jonathan Gross, 4208 Grimes Avenue. Mr. Gross stated that he submitted a letter and his
concerns were the changes in definitions in the Edina Plan and the draft policy, in particular
cut - through traffic. This is listed in the draft policy as "non local cut - through traffic," compared
to the Federal Highway's definition of "non citizens." Another concern is the altering of
priorities by linking speed control and volume. Mr. Gross said the introduction of the policy
framework on page 2 is very good but after that the focus seemed to shift to traffic calming.
Keith Wolf, 4600 Wooddale Avenue. Mr. Wolf said he's addressing the Commission as a
resident of Edina, not of a specific neighborhood. He went on to say that he believes the
policy provides a fact base from which decisions can be made and minimizes subjectivity. He
said he is supportive of all the "neighborhoods and if they work together it can be a win -win
situation and if there is a win -lose, then all lose. He said he is an advocate for addressing
traffic on 44th Street, but he should not be involved in the decision - making process. His
primary concern is the impact outsiders are having on the various neighborhoods. Mr. Wolf
stated further that he was able to access the draft policy on the City's website as early as Nov.
3.
Dovolis motioned to adopt the policy and forward it to the Council for consideration. Seconded
by White.
Ayes: 6
Nay: 1
Motion carried.
IV. Avvroval of Minutes
a. November 18, 2004
b. December 9, 2004
Plante motioned to approve both minutes with corrections to the December minutes as
stated by Bennett. Seconded by Dovolis.

Chair Richards called the meeting to order and thanked the residents for attending.
Commissioners and staff were introduced.
Chair Richards explained that the Transportation Commissioners were appointed by the
Council to address six issue areas and they developed a draft policy as a framework for
dealing with the issue areas and other such areas in Edina. He said the Commission is
advisory in nature and the Council will make all final decisions.
Chair Richards explained that the purpose of tonight's meeting is for the residents to voice
their concerns as they relate to traffic /transportation issues and the draft policy. Chair
Richards said the Commission will meet again on January 6th to finalize the draft policy for
Council's approval. Residents can continue to give feedback in writing until December 30th.
Lillehaug gave an overview of the draft policy, including the background, purpose, vision;
action plans: short and long term; sources of funding; process and schedule; criteria for
screening, etc. Lillehaug said approximately 70 emails and other correspondences have been
received to date.

2
CORRECTED MINUTES

other options such as mass transit;

problem such as building high rises.

3
CORRECTED MINUTES
Brady Halverson, 4211 W. 44th Street
• Good start;
• Traffic volume vs. velocity; calming is needed; strike argument against volume and
residents will buy -in;
• People are always going to cut thru; Country Club area is appealing because there are
several ways to get thru. .
• Moving volume from one neighborhood to the next is the major issue;
• More streets closed, worse congestion on arterials.
Penelope, 5000 Summit Avenue
• Keep in mind Interlachen and 50th; a left turn signal onto eastbound 50th would be
helpful;

to Hopkins.
Allen Beers, 6045 Wooddale Avenue
• Traffic getting worse and worse;
• Lots of speeding and police is never around;
• Drivers failing to stop at stop sign at Wooddale and Valley View;
• New sidewalk made a difference, but still speeding.
Robb Webb, 4516 Drexel Avenue
• Likes that the policy puts neighborhoods as focus;
• Everyone wants to give input but traffic is mathematical; requires a traffic engineer to
figure out how to get traffic back on the arterials;
• Create threshold that defines a problem objectively. What is an appropriate amount of
volume? Need to collect and analyze data to state objectively that there is a problem;
need to determine an appropriate amount of volume on street;
• Concept of living in the city near other cities so must deal with traffic;
• Concerned about voting instead of analyzing traffic data;
Bright Dornblaser, 4630 Drexel Avenue
• Very clear and necessary for Edina to work on this issue;
• Put emphasis on collectors streets first instead of neighborhoods streets;
• Emphasis on calming devices vs. volume; would be less concerned about volume if not
for speed;
• Supports what has been done thus far.
Art Heim, Highland Neighborhood
• Moving traffic on 50 going east is a big concern, maybe no left turn at Halifax;
• Minneapolis uses directional arrows to discourage turning on certain streets;
• Roundabouts are accident prone;
• Traffic problems are not going away, getting worse;
• Traffic not worse in Country Club than in other neighborhoods;
• Favors speed bumps.
David Farmer, 4612 Casco Avenue
• Created a toolbox to solve traffic issues — good first step;
• Quantifiable traffic numbers identifies problems such as speeding;
• Lacking in the definition of impacted area;
4
CORRECTED MINUTES

Mark Johnson, 5007 Arden Avenue
• Disappointed because he found out about meeting on the local news;
• Continue to hold forums, but not in the media.
Roberta Castellano, 4854 France Avenue
• France Avenue is a bottleneck at certain times of the days;
• Drivers use alternative routes because of bottleneck;
• Problem will continue as population increases;
• All drivers here tonight; we are someone else's perceived nuisance;
• All seems to tolerate amount of traffic but speeding seems to be an issue;
• Impacted area — be more inclusive.
Lee Marks, 4602 Arden Avenue
• Streets were designed 100 years ago and are no longer adequate;
• Changes will not happen overnight;
• Disappointed in residents' behavior in meetings such as Morningside and Country Club
pitting against each other; references made to process being a failure, us vs. them, an
eye for an eye attitude;
• Policy takes the emotion out of the process; it is fact based; includes all the options;
working within confines of available tools;
• Appears to be objective, takes out subjectivity.
Tom Steel, 5057 Ewing, Minneapolis
• Not understanding or ignoring traffic signs is a law enforcement issue; increasing fines
will get their attention;
• People living closest to impacted area should have more say than someone living say a
mile away;
• Language of property vs. people: the changes stays with the property long after the
people are gone;
• Notification of meeting: medium used seems to be quite effective based on attendance
tonight.
Chris O'Brien, 4627 Drexel Avenue
• Have friends in many areas that are having problems;
• Freeways are getting worse; 2 lane highways causes people to cut thru local streets to
avoid congestion;
• Speed /volume are both problems, not separate.
Helen Burke, 4246 Grimes Avenue
• Read letter on behalf of her daughter, Julia Silvis
• Definition of cut thru traffic is too flimsy and subjective; improve efficiency of legitimate
traffic;
• Include as many opportunities for public disclosure and debate;
• Serve the needs of the entire city rather than those of one (vocal) neighborhood.
CORRECTED MINUTES
Chair Richards thanked the residents for participating and told them that their comments will
be taken into consideration. He assured them that citizens' input is very important, however,
this does not mean that their input will always be adhered to. He said it is obvious they need
to revisit the definition of impacted area and he emphasized that the Commission is not
proposing street closures — this is listed as one of the options available.
Residents were reminded to continue to submit written comments until December 30th. The
next Transportation Commission meeting is scheduled for January 6th. Regular meetings are
held the 4th Thursday of each month, 6:00 -8:00 p.m. in the Community Room and are open to
the public.
Meeting adjourned.

INFORMATION/BACKGROUND:
Last week I attended a meeting of the Metropolitan Area Manager's Association
where Bill Morris, of Decision Resources presented his Annual Suburban Area
Survey. I have attached a copy of these survey results for your information. Each
year, Decision Resources conducts this survey of twin -city area suburban
communities. In their view, the survey has a margin of error of three = percent. This
survey presents interesting opinions with respect to willingness to raise taxes, levy
limits, traffic, and "job- ratings" for various levels of government. Please call if I
can answer any questions regarding the survey.

To the Editor:
As members of the "misinformed" public, we feel compelled to respond to the article in
the Sun - Current dated January 13, 2005, regarding the Edina Transportation Committee's
policy draft. We can assure all involved that the only information our opposition to this
policy is based on is that contained in the policy itself.
Joni Kelly Bennett's objections are legitimate. The policy does allow the closing of
neighborhood streets, and it does not specify sufficient notification to all of the
neighborhoods that would be affected by such closures. This is not misinformation; it is,
to paraphrase Chairman Fred Richards, what the policy draft says. The city staff's
assertion that the notification areas set forth in the plan are only "minimum" areas is of
no comfort to those of us who would be affected by street closures. Quite the contrary. It
leaves those of us outside of these "Impacted Areas" completely without legal recourse
should the city decide not to notify residents outside of these minimum areas. If the city
really intends to adequately notify every resident who could be reasonably said to be
impacted by such actions, why not put it in the policy itself? What is the objection?
The city staffs assertion that there are no street closure projects pending is of little
comfort,. either. Proposals to close Country Club streets have been around for years. The
fact remains that such a project could surface as soon as this policy is approved. Frankly,
we have to wonder why the Transportation Commission (Ms. Bennett excepted) is so
adamantly pushing this policy forward in the face of such significant public opposition.
If nothing is in the works, why the rush?
As for Marie Thorpe's assertion that the "real issues have been clouded ": if the provision
for street closures without adequate public notification and input is not a "real issue" to
her, just what is? We can assure her it is a very "real issue" to us.
We agree with Ms. Thorpe on one point. The public is indeed owed an apology — from
Chairman Richards and Ms. Thorpe. While they are at it, they can apologize to Ms.
Bennett, too.

Dear Representative Erhardt:
On behalf of the City of Edina, I would appreciate your support of House .File #313. This bill
would permit cities to impose a transportation utility fee for the purpose of defraying the cost of
street maintenance and reconstruction. This bill would provide the City of Edina with a much -
needed tool for meeting its street maintenance obligations. As you know, most streets within
Edina are over 35 years of age. Many of these streets require reconstruction in order to keep them
in acceptable condition. The cost of such reconstruction is often daunting to property owners who
typically are assessed the majority of reconstruction costs. In that a large percentage of our
population is made up of senior citizens who are on fixed incomes, these assessments can be
extremely burdensome. The transportation utility, as permitted by House File #313, provides an
excellent method of paying for these costs on a more equitable basis.
We appreciate your support of this legislation. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any
questions.

Property Tax Administration
Who does what? Counties are responsible for property tax administration; the Department of
Revenue provides assistance and oversight. The list below shows each county
office's responsibilities for property'tax administration. In some counties these
1
offices are merged and one or two offices may perform the functions.
d Assessor
Values property
• Determines proper classification
Sends valuation notices to taxpayers
Auditor
• Determines each taxing jurisdiction's total tax capacity (i.e., its tax base)
Calculates proposed and final tax rates
1 0 Prepares Truth in Taxation notices (based on proposed. levies)
Treasurer
• Prepares and mails out property tax statements
�. . Collects property tax payments
Distributes property tax receipts to each taxing jurisdiction.
1
Property tax The process of calculating, imposing, and collecting Minnesota property taxes for a
timeline year actually spans two fill calendar years. As shown on the reverse side, the two -
1. year cycle begins with the January 2 statutory assessment date and extends all the
1 way through the next calendar year until the property taxes have been paid. For
1 example, for taxes payable in 2005, the cycle begins on January 2, 2004, and
doesn't end until the final payment is made in October/November 2005.
1
`
Appeal process If a property owner disagrees with the assessor's valuation (shown on the valuation
notice), the taxpayer can seek relief dire ctly from the assessor. This may resolve
the matter, so that no further action is necessary. If it does not, there are two
separate avenues of appeal:
1 1. A three -step appeal process, consisting of an appeal to:
1 the local board of review; if not satisfied may appeal to,
• the county board of equalization; if not satisfied, may appeal to,
1 the Minnesota tax court.
2. A single -step appeal. to the Minnesota tax court. There are two divisions:
The regular division, which can be used for any property. Proceedings are
formal (an attorney is recommended), and the decision may be appealed to
the Minnesota Supreme Court; or
• The small claims division, which can be used only for homesteads
(regardless of value) and other property where the market value is under
$300,000. Proceedings are less formal, and decisions are final.

Basic Terms and Concepts
Estimated market The assessor determines each*property's estimated market value based on sales
value of comparable properties, cost of construction minus depreciation, income
generated by the property (if applicable), and other relevant available information.
Taxable and limited Estimated market value and taxable market value are the same for most types
market value
of property. However, for residential homestead and nonhomestead property,
agricultural property, and seasonal recreational property, the property's taxable
market value may be restricted to its limited market value, which is a statutory
limitation on the amount that the property's value can increase over the previous
- year's value.
Net tax capacity,
A property's net tax capacity is determined by multiplying the property's taxable
class rate'
market value by the relevant class rate or rates. Class rates are set by statute, vary
by property type, and are uniform statewide.
Levy
Each local taxing jurisdiction certifies a levy equal to the amount of revenue it
desires to raise through the property tax in the upcoming year.
Levy limit
For some types of local taxing jurisdictions, the levy may be constrained by state-
imposed levy limits. Levies for school districts and special taxing districts are
limited. In some years, levies for counties and large cities (over 2,500 population)
have been limited, although no limits are currently in effect for those types of
jurisdictions. Generally, state imposed levy limits can be overridden by
referendum.
Local tax rate
The local tax rate of a taxing jurisdiction is determined by dividing the
jurisdiction's levy by the total net tax capacity of all properties within the
jurisdiction.
Total local tax rate
The total local tax rate for an individual property is the sum of the local tax rates
of all taxing jurisdictions allowed to levy taxes upon the property.
Market value -based
Certain voter - approved levies must be levied against market value rather than net
levy and taz rate
tax capacity. :The market value -based tax rate is determined by dividing the
jurisdiction's market value -based levy by the total taxable market value of all
properties within the jurisdiction (excluding the value of property classified "as
agricultural or seasonal- recreational, since those property-types are exempt from
market value -based taxes).
Gross tax, property Property tax credits reduce the gross tax that would otherwise be due upon a
tax credits, net tax property. The remaining amount after subtraction of property tax credits is the net
tax. The homestead market value credit and the agricultural market value
credit are the two most common property tax credits and are based on formulas
related to the market value of the property. Other property tax credits include the
taconite homestead credit, the disparity reduction credit, and the power line credit.

Limited Market Value
What is limited Limited market value (LMV) is a limitation on the amount that a property's
market value? market value may grow from one year to the next for purposes of property
taxation. It was enacted to help mitigate rising property'taxes resulting from
rapidly inflating property values.
What property.does The following classes of property qualify for LMV:
LMV apply to? . agricultural homestead and nonhomestead
residential homestead and nonhomestead
• seasonal recreational residential property (i.e.,. cabins)
• timberland (beginning with the 2001 assessment)
Is it permanent? LMV provisions were in effect from 1973 to 1979, and again, from 1993 to the
present. The 2001 Legislature enacted a law to phase out LMV'over a six-year
period —from assessment years 2002 -2007. Beginning in assessment year 2007
(for taxes payable in 2008), all property will be valued at its estimated full market
value for property tax purposes.
Does the assessor The assessor continues to determine the property's fair market value. This value
continue valuing is called the "estimated market value" (EMV). However, property that qualifies
the property? for treatment under LMV may not be taxed at the full value of the property if its
growth exceeds the limits.
How does it work? For qualifying property in assessment year 2004 (taxes payable in 2005), the
increase in market value shall not exceed the greater of.
15 percent of the LMV in the preceding assessment year, or
• 25 percent of the difference between the current year's EMV and the
previous year's LMV.
How does the For each year, the maximum valuation increase is determined by calculating the
phaseout work? increase allowed under columns (1) and (2), and choosing whichever is higher.

Example Assessment year 2004 1payable year 2005
calculations The LMV of a home is $100,000 for assessment year 2003. For assessment year
2004, the assessor determines that the EMV of the home is $130,000. The
maximum market value increase for tax purposes is the greater of:
• 15 percent increase over the previous year, which is $15,000, or
• 25 percent of the $30,000 difference in value, which is $7,500.
Therefore, the home's LMV is $100,000 plus $15,000, or $115,000 for
assessment year 2004.
How much has For taxes payable in 2005, $27 billion of market value was excluded from the tax

Property Tax Variation by Property Type
What causes The primary cause of variation in property tax burdens is Minnesota's classified
property taxes to property tax system. In a classified system, each class of property is assigned one
vary by type of or more class rates. The property's taxable market value is multiplied by the class
property? rate(s) to determine the property's tax base, technically called its net tax capacity.
Besides the class rates, variations in tax by type of property also occur because the
state general tax and certain voter - approved referendum levies' apply to some
types of property but not to others. The table below shows class rates and the
applicability of taxes by type of property.
Class Rate Schedule for Taxes Payable in 2005
All voter - approved levies, except school district levies for bonded debt, are levied on referendum market value. School

What other factors Variations also occur because certain types of property qualify for property tax
cause property taxes credits that reduce the amount of tax that would otherwise be due. The two largest .
to vary by type of credit programs are the homestead market value credit and the agricultural market
property? value credit, which apply to all residential homesteads and all agricultural
homesteads. Other credits apply to property in some areas of the state but not to
others.
Local variation. also occurs because tax rates are determined separately for each
taxing jurisdiction in the state, based on each jurisdiction's levy and tax base.
What is effective tax Effective tax rate is a measure of tax burden useful in making property tax
rate? comparisons. It is defined as net tax divided by market value (i.e., tax as a percent
of market value). It allows comparison of tax burdens between properties of
different values, different types, and different locations.

State General Tax
• The state general tax was instituted in 2001 as part of a major overhaul of the property tax system
The state general tax is levied only on seasonal- recreational, commercial- industrial, and public utility
property. Public utility property consisting of attached machinery used. in the generation of
electricity is not subject to the state general tax. Each property's tax is determined by multiplying its
net tax capacity by the state tax rate, except that for noncommercial seasonal- recreational property.
up to $76,000 in value, the state taxis levied, at only forty percent of the full rate.
• The state levy was initially set at $592 million for taxes payable in 2002. However,. only $585.3
million was actually levied, due to administrative problems in the definition of the tax base and the
setting of the state tax rate in the first year of implementation.
• The law provides for the levy to increase each year by the percentage increase in the implicit price
deflator for government consumption expenditures and gross investment for state and local
governments, as prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce. For taxes payable in 2005, the state levy
is $629.3 million.
• Revenues from the state general tax are deposited in the state general fund. The initial 2001
'legislation provided that the amount levied each year over and above the FY 2003 amount would be
dedicated to education funding, but that dedication was eliminated in 2003.
• In the first year, taxes payable in 2002, the rate of tax was 57.993 percent of tax capacity. For 2005,
the rate is 51.121 percent.
• For taxes payable in 2005, the breakdown of the tax by property type is:
Commercial/industrial 83.3%
Public Utility 9.2
Noncommercial seasonal recreational 7.2
Commercial seasonal recreational 0.3

Local Government Aids
City LGA In 2003 the governor proposed revising the city local government aid (LGA)
underwent major program. Most of his proposal was adopted. The goal of the proposal was to
changes in 2003 distribute more LGA based on a city's "need". and "ability to raise revenue locally"
rather than the amount received in a prior year ( "grandfathee% virtually all aspects
of the old formula were modified, as shown in the table on the back. The biggest
changes were a reduction in the program funding level and the elimination of the
most of the "grandfathered" aid portion of the old LGA.
The appropriation The reduction in city LGA was done in two stages. City LGA was reduced to $465
is reduced to $437 million in calendar year (CY) 2003 from the originally certified appropriation of
million annually $587 million. The city LGA was further reduced to $429 million in CY 2004 with
an additional $8 million paid in transition aid. for one year. Beginning in 2005, the
LGA appropriation is set at $437 million annually, and the automatic appropriation
increase for inflation, which existed under the old law, is eliminated
Most of the LGA Under the old law, the distribution of about $367 million of the total LGA
"grandfather" is appropriation was "grandfathered" to cities, based on LGA distribution in previous
eliminated years, and special distribution provisions. Beginning in CY 2004, virtually all of
the LGA appropriation is distributed via the need and ability to raise revenue
formula. Only $26.5 million will continue to be grandfathered. The majority of
the grandfathered money goes to large cities in outstate Minnesota based on a
special provision that was part of the 2001 property tax reform.
New measures of The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) developed the old measures of city "need"
city "need" were in 1992.. The new need formula for large cities, which contains different factors
enacted than the old formula, was developed using the same methodology as used in the
LMC study. The coefficients for the factors in the small city need measure were
updated through regression analysis on current city spending.
Taconite aid is The measure of a city's "ability to raise revenue" under the old law was the city's
included in tax base multiplied by an average city tax rate. Under the new law, ability to raise
calculating LGA 'revenue also includes each city's taconite aid payment. The inclusion of taconite
aid is phased in over a four -year period beginning with aids payable in 2005.
There are limits on Beginning in CY 2005, the new law limits increases in LGA payments to any city
increases and to an amount equal to 10 percent of the city's levy in the previous year. Decreases
decreases to for large cities are limited to 10 percent of the city's levy in the previous year,
individual cities while decreases for smaller cities are limited to 5 percent of the city's certified
2003 LGA amount (before 2003 aid reductions).

Aid Reductions to Local Governments in CY 2003 and 2004
January 11, 2005
Page 22
As part of the budget balancing actions taken during the 2003 legislative session, the state reduced aid
payments to all non - school local governments in CY 2003 and 2004 as shown in the table. The mechanisms
used in making the reductions were as follows:
Cities
For CY 2003 each city's aids and credits were reduced by 9.3 percent of the city's certified 2003 levy plus
general- purpose aids (LGA, existing and new construction housing aid, and taconite aids). The reduction was
limited to a percentage of each city's 2000 ' general fund revenues, as reported to the state auditor. The limit
was 3.7 percent of revenues for cities with either (a) a population of 1,000 or less, or (b) a three -year average
levy plus aid growth rate of 2 percent or less. The limit was 5.25 percent of revenues for all other cities. For
cities where the aid reduction amount exceeded the amount of general - purpose aids, the balance was
subtracted from each city's market value credit reimbursement payment.
In CY 2004, all cities whose market value credit was reduced in 2003 were subject to the same credit
reduction in 2004. The 2004 LGA payments to cities were determined under the new formula but payments
to each city were limited so that no city's aid could (1) exceed the 2003 aid amount actually paid, or (2) be
less than the certified 2003 aid amount minus IN 14 percenO of the certified 2003 levy plus aid.
Counties
For CY 2003, each county's aid payments were reduced from their certified amounts by 3.21 percent of the
county's 2003 levy plus general - purpose aids. General - purpose aids include HACA4, manufactured home
HACA, COA, FPA and taconite aids.
In CY 2004, all the county general- purpose aid programs and attached machinery aid were eliminated and
replaced with a new aid program called "county program aid." A county's program aid payment was equal
to the sum of the 2003 amounts it was originally certified to receive under the old programs, minus'5.689
percent of its CY 2003 levy plus general purpose aids. For counties where the aid reduction amount
exceeded the amount of county program aid, the balance was subtracted from the county's market value
credit reimbursement payment.
Towns and special taxing districts
Towns and special taxing districts receive no general - purpose aid. These local governments had their market
value credit reimbursement payments reduced each year based on a percentage of their pay 2003 certified
levy. The reduction for towns was 2 percent of the levy in CY 2003 and 3 percent in CY 2004. The
reduction for special taxing districts was 1.5 percent of levy in CY 2003 and 2 percent for CY 2004.
3 The lower percent applies only to cities with an adjusted net tax capacity of $700 /capita or less.
4 Does not include the portion of HACA already dedicated to offset the state assumption of court costs.

Page 24
There are no The general levy limits under Minnesota Statutes, sections 275.70 to 275.74
general levy limits usually restrict the amount of property taxes counties and larger cities may impose
for taxes payable in for general fund expenditures. Levy limits applied to property taxes payable in
2005 2004 but expire beginning with taxes payable in 2005. This document describes
-how the law has usually worked in the past and then lists the more stringent
restrictions that were imposed for taxes payable in 2004.

Homestead Market Value Credit
• The credit amount is based only on the taxable market value of the property, not on the tax itself
• The maximum credit amount is $304; homes valued over $414,000 receive no credit
• The credit amount is shown on the tax statement as a subtraction after the gross tax has been
computed
• The credit is deducted from each local government's tax on the homestead in proportion to its share
of the gross tax (excluding school referendums)
• For agricultural homesteads, the credit is computed on the value of the house, garage and one acre of
land only
• The credit amount by home value is shown in the table below
• The cost of the credit for taxes payable in 2004 is $313.4 million; however, the state did not fully
reimburse the credit amount for certain cities, so that the actual state cost for 2004 (FY 2005) is only

Truth in'Taxation
"Truth in taxation" (TnT) is a process which the legislature enacted in 1988 to enhance public participation
in Minnesota's property tax system. The components of TnT are:
public advertisements on budgettlevy of certain taxing jurisdictions,
parcel- specific notices sent to the owner of the property,
public hearings, and
changes in the property tax statement.
The process was enacted by the 1988 Legislature and was phased in from 1989 to 1993. Full implementation
of the process began with taxes payable in 1993, the same year as the repeal of the general property tax levy
limitations for counties and cities.
Under the law prior to TnT, the main avenue for taxpayer involvement was on the valuation side of the
system. Taxpayers received their market value notice early in the year, and then no finther information was
sent to the taxpayer until the property tax statement was received the following February or March — almost
a whole year later. The legislature felt that TnT would improve local accountability by focusing taxpayers
on the relationship between the budget process and property taxes.
The main purposes of TnT were:
to enhance public participation in Minnesota's property tax system,
to educate the public on how property taxes are determined,
to encourage the public to understand the local government's budget process;
to encourage the public to become involved in helping local officials set spending priorities.
Although there are some exceptions (i.e., referendums, court costs, etc.) the local government's final levy
cannot be increased above the proposed levy amounts reflected on the TnT notices.
The basic components of the process are:
A newspaper advertisement is required for counties and cities over 2500 population. A local government
must include changes in its total spending, property tax levy, and what the proposed local tax rates would
be if there was no levy increase.
The TnT notice shows the taxpayer how the current property taxes on their parcel compare to the
proposed taxes for taxes payable in the following year, if the local governments adopt their proposed
budgets.
A public hearing is required for counties and cities over 500 population only if its proposed property tax
levy has increased over its current property tax levy by more than the percentage increase in the current
implicit price deflator (IPD).
The property tax statement contains a comparison-of the property's current year's valuation, state
aids /credits and property taxes to the property's previous year's valuation, state aid /credits and property
taxes. The taxpayer can analyze, at a glance, what changes have occurred on the parcel of property.

Tax Increment Financing (TIE)
What is TIF?
TIF is a method of dedicating incremental property taxes to use as a financing tool.
In Minnesota TIF is used by cities and development authorities for two purposes (and it is useful to think of
them separately):
• To induce development or redevelopment
• To finance public improvements (unrelated to inducing development)
TIE Mechanics
TIF captures the taxes on the growth in tax base by certifying for a TIF district. (when it is created):
• Original tax capacity (taxable value)
• Original tax rate (local taxing district rates)
Captured value = current tax capacity — original tax capacity
Tax increment = original tax rate * captured value
• Increment increases as values increase because of either development or inflation (growth in the
market value of properties in the district unrelated to development)

Mining Taxes
January 11, 2005
Page 34
Mines and facilities used in the production of taconite are exempt from the property tax. In lieu of the
property tax, the iron mining industry pays a production tax based on the tons of taconite produced. The
industry is also exempt from the corporate income tax, and pays in lieu thereof an occupation tax. The
structure of the occupation tax is quite similar to that of the corporate income tax.
The mining industry paid about $77 million in taxes in 2003. The taconite production tax constitutes about
95 percent ($73.1 million) of the total taxes. The remaining 5 percent (3.9 million) includes the occupation
tax, the sales tax, and some miscellaneous taxes. This overview focuses on the production tax, since it is so
large relative to the other mining taxes.
Because it is in lieu of the property tax, the taconite production tax is paid to local governments and is a
major revenue source for qualifying taxing ,jurisdictions -- counties, cities, towns; and school districts, located
in the taconite relief area The "taconite relief area" includes all or a portion of Cook, Lake, St. Louis, Itasca,
Koochiching, Aitkin and Crow Wing Counties...
The production tax collected and distributed in 2004:
was based on the production of the mining companies in calendar year 2003;
was based on a tax rate of $2.103 per-taxable ton (the tax rate is established by the legislature);
was based on the three -year average tonnage produced in 2001, 2002, and 2003, which was 31.2
million taxable tons. (A three -year average is used to keep the tax base more stable.);
was required to be paid in two equal installments on or before February 24a', and on or before
August 24'x; and
• was paid to the respective counties in the taconite relief area and to the Iron Range Resources
and Rehabilitation Agency (often referred to simply as Iron Range Resources, or IRR). The
counties then make payments to the cities, towns, and school districts.
The formula for distributing production tax revenues is a complex one that has evolved over many years. It
is specified in statute and is generally defined on a cents per taxable ton (CPT) distribution. The 2004 tax
was distributed as follows:

Renter's Property Tax Refund Program
What is the The renter property tax refund program (sometimes called the "renters' credit") is
renter's property a state -paid refund that provides tax relief to renters whose rent and "implicit
tax refund property taxes" are high relative to their incomes. "Rent constituting property
program .? taxes" is assumed to equal 19 percent of rent paid. If that rent constituting
property tax exceeds a threshold percentage of income, the refund equals a
percentage of the tax over the threshold, up to a maximum amount. As income
increases:
the threshold percentage increases,
• the portion of tax over the threshold that the taxpayer must pay increases,
and
• the maximum refimd decreases.
The program uses household income, a broad measure that includes most types
of income. Deductions are allowed for dependents and for claimants who are
over age 65 or disabled.
What are the For refund claims filed in 2005, based on rent paid in 2004 and 2004 household
maximums? income, the maximum refund is $1,300. Renters whose income exceeds $45,810

Targeting Property Tax Refund
What is targeting? The "additional property tax refund," generally referred to as "targeting," directs
property tax relief to homeowners who have large property tax increases from one
year to the next.
Wlio qualifies? A homeowner qualifies if the property tax on the home has increased by more than
12 percent over the previous year's tax, and if the increase is over $100.
The homeowner must have owned and lived in the same home for both years. If
any improvements were made to the home, that portion of the tax increase
resulting from the improvements must be subtracted when determining the refund.
How does targeting The refund equals 60 percent of the increase over the greater of (1) 12 percent or
work? (2) $100. The maximum refund is $1,000. The following example_ shows how the
refund is calculated.

$341
The taxpayer's $600 increase (i.e., 42.9 percent) is reduced to an out -of- pocket
property tax increase of $341 (i.e., 24.4 percent) as a result of the $259 refund.
The taxpayer pays the full $2,000 amount of the 2005 property tax to the county,
the first half in May and the second half in October. The taxpayer applies to the
state for a targeting refund, which is paid in September 2005 at the same time the
regular homeowner property tax refund ("circuit breaker ") is paid.
Does targeting have No, unlike the regular property tax refund, the targeting refund is not tied to the
any other taxpayer's household income. Under the regular homeowner property tax refund,
restrictions? the taxpayer's household income may not exceed a specified maximum and the
amount of household income affects the amount of the refund.
However, the targeting refund does not use income as a factor, nor is there any
limitation on the taxpayer's household income. Therefore, many higher income
taxpayers who do not qualify for the regular property tax refund due to income
restrictions are eligible for the targeting refund.
Is targeting a new No, the first targeting program was enacted in 1980. With the exception of a few
program? years in the 1980s, the program has been in effect for about 20 years, although .
miscellaneous changes have been made to the program during that time.

What are statewide The amounts paid out for the targeting program have been very low in recent years,
amounts? but increased significantly from 2002 to 2003, with refunds rising from $1.0
million in 2002 to $7.6 million in 2003.' Some of the 2003 increase is probably due
to the high.inflationary growth in the market value of residential housing.

f led? 1 PR, the property tax refund form.. There is a separate schedule on the back of the
M -lPR ("Schedule 1— Special Refund") for the targeting program. The taxpayer
files for this refund after receiving their property tax statement in February or
March. Claims filed before August 15, 2005, will be paid beginning in late
September 2005. The deadline for filing claims based on taxes payable in 2005 is
August 15, 2006; taxpayers filing claims after that date will not receive a refund.

Senior Citizens Property 'Tax Deferral Program
January 11, 2005

What is the Senior The Senior Citizens Property Tax Deferral Program allows property taxpayers who
Citizens Property are 65 years or older, and whose total household income is $60,000 or less, to defer
Tax Deferral a portion of their homestead property taxes until some later time. It allows senior
Program? citizens whose property taxes are high relative to their incomes, but who wish to
stay in their homes, an option for paying their property taxes. .
flow does it work? Regardless of how high the tax is on the homestead, the taxpayer initially pays an
amount equal to only 3 percent of their total preceding year's household income.
The state pays to the county in which the home is located any amount over 3
percent, called the "deferred tax.". A lien attaches to the property. The deferred
tax is a loan. Interest on the loan is calculated at the same rate as unpaid state taxes
(a floating rate), but cannot exceed 5 percent. Before the owner can transfer the
title of the property, the deferred tax plus interest must be repaid.
For example, John and Mary Jones own a home; its total property tax is $1,400.
They have a total household income of $30,000. Under this program, they must
pay $900 in tax (3 percent of $30,000); the remaining $500 ($1,400 minus $900) is
deferred.
97to qualifies? In order to qualify for the program, all of the following criteria must be met:
• Property must be owned and occupied as a homestead by. a person 65 years
r
of age or older (If married, both.must be 65 years old);
• Total household income must be $60,000 or less for the calendar year
preceding the year of the initial application;
Home must have been owned and occupied as the homestead of at least
~
one of the homeowners for at least 15 years before the initial application;
• There must be no state or federal tax liens or judgment liens on the
p
property,
• The total unpaid balances of debts secured by mortgages and other liens on
the property, including deferred tax and interest amounts under the
program, unpaid and delinquent special assessments and property taxes,
penalties and interest (but excluding the current year's property taxes), do
not exceed 75 percent of the assessor's estimated market value for the.
current year.
Does the taxpayer No, once a taxpayer is enrolled in the program, annual applications are not
need to annually required. However, if household income exceeds $60,000 in any calendar year, the
reapply? owner must notify the Department of Revenue. No further property taxes may be
deferred until income falls below the $60,000 threshold. However, enrollment will
not be terminated from the program, and can remain until the owner's income falls
below the $60,000 threshold, at which point the owner must notify the state and
request that the deferral be resumed.

Can the taxpayer Yes, a taxpayer is still allowed to file for the property tax refund and any other
still file for property rebates that the state may offer. However, no direct cash payments will
refunds? be made to the taxpayer. Rather, the amount of the refund will be applied to the
total amount of the deferred property tax on the taxpayer's home. The property tax
refund is calculated on the full tax amount.
When does it The deferral terminates when any one of the following events occurs:
terminate? the property is sold or transferred;
the death of all qualifying homeowners;
• the homeowner notifies the Commissioner of Revenue,, in writing, of intent
to withdraw from the program; or
the property no longer qualifies as a homestead.
How does this A reverse mortgage loan is a loan arrangement with a lender, secured by a
program differ from mortgage (lien), where the homeowner receives a monthly payment from the
a reverse mortgage? lender. The total dollar amount is established at the beginning of the arrangement.
The full amount, plus interest, is due when the home is sold. The lender charges
closing costs, which can be substantial.
The senior deferral program also constitutes a lien on the property, but the
homeowner does not need to guess "up- front" how many dollars. are needed.
Rather any tax amount over 3 percent of income is automatically deferred.

The Fiscal Disparities Program

program? In Minnesota, two programs are used: the primary one was created in 1971 and
operates in the seven counties of the Twin Cities metropolitan area; a smaller
scaled version was created in 1995 for the Iron Range in northern Minnesota.
Why share The main purposes 'and goals of the program are to:
commerciaU
industrial tax base? Support a regional approach to development. Tax -base sharing spreads the
fiscal benefit of business development spawned by regional facilities, such
as shopping centers, airports, freeway interchanges, and sports stadiums. It
also may make communities more willing to accept low- tax -yield regional
facilities, such as parks.
• Equalize the distribution offiscal resources. Communities with low tax
bases must impose higher tax rates to deliver the same services as
communities with higher tax bases. These high tax rates make poor
communities less attractive places for businesses to locate or expand in,
exacerbating the problem. Sharing C/I tax base can reduce this effect.
Reduce competition for commercial - industrial development. Communities
generally.believe that'some kinds of C/I properties pay more in taxes than it
costs toprovide services to them. This encourages communities to
compete for these properties by providing tax concessions or extra services,
which can weaken their fiscal condition. Tax -base sharing reduces the
incentive for this competition, thereby discouraging urban sprawl and
reducing the cost of providing regional services such as sewage and
transportation.
How does the fiscal Contributions to the areawide tax base. Each taxing jurisdiction annually
disparities program contributes 40 percent of the growth in its C/I tax base since the year of enactment
work? to an abstract entity called the "areawide tax base." This contribution value is not
available for taxation by the jurisdictions where the property is located.
Distributions from the areawide tax base. Each municipality receives a share of
the areawide tax base through a formula based on its share of the area's population
and its relative property tax wealth (tax base per capita). The municipality is
allowed to tax this distribution value at the same rate as the tax rate paid by its
residents. All taxing jurisdictions whose boundaries encompass the municipality
are also allowed to tax the municipality's distribution value (i.e., counties, school
districts, and special taxing districts).
Calculating the property tax for each commercial - industrial property. The
property tax statement for each C/I property has a local portion and an areawide
portion, based on the relative amount of the tax base that is contributed (areawide
nortion) versus the relative amount that is retained (local Dortion) for the

In the first year of implementation (1975), the areawide tax base included 6.7
percent of the total metro CA tax base and 2.1 percent of the total metro tax base.
For 2004; the areawide tax base was 32.3 percent of the total metro GI base and
9.8 percent of the total metro tax base.
A House Research studybased on taxes payable in 2004 found that the average
homestead. tax in St. Paul, which is one of the largest net beneficiaries of the
program, was 8.8 percent lower because of fiscal disparities. The study also found
that the average homestead tax in Bloomington, which-is one of the largest net
contributors, was 5.5 percent higher. Homestead effects throughout the area
generally varied between these extremes.
For commercial- industrial properties, average taxes were 2.7 percent lower in St.
Paul due to fiscal :disparities and 9.7 percent higher in Plymouth, another suburban
city that is a large net contributor. Commercial - industrial properties elsewhere in
the metro area fall in line between these extremes.
The study looked only at the direct effect of fiscal disparities, i.e., the redistribution
of tax base, and made no attempt to factor in alternative development patterns that
might have occurred without fiscal disparities.
How did the 2001 The elimination of the.general education levy, imposition of a state property tax

First Application for Subdivision
3. On or about November 12, 2003, Pedersen and a developers submitted to the Edina
planning Commission his First Application for the subdivision of the Indian Hills Lot,
consisting of a 99,211- square -foot parcel, which is zoned -R -1. (Larsen AM Ex. B.)
4. In his First Application, Pedersen used a list of properties located within 500 feet of the
Indian Hills Lot for purposes of attempting to identify the lots in the neighborhood, as
defined by the Edina City Code, section 810.02, that are to be used in performing the
calculations to establish a minimum lot area, minimum lot width, and minimum lot_ depth
for evaluating any Proposed subdivision? (Larsen A Ex. B.)
"the develo with respect to the Indian Hills
2 Pedersen was a party to a purchase .agreetttent with Curt Fretbam ( pets spec
Lot. Both the first and second applications for subdivision were submitted jointly by Pedersen and the developer.
Upon termination of the purchase agreement with the developer on June 30, 2004, Pedersen acquired all interests in
both of the applications for subdivision, As such, Pedersen is the sole party with respect to this matter.
I Edina City Code, section 850.11, subd. 5B, provides that the minimum lot width for a single dwelling unit is 75
feet, "provided however, if the lot is in a neighborhood as defined in Section 810 of this Cock, which has lot with a
median lot width greater than 75 feet, then the minimum lot width shall be not less than the median lot width of lots
in such neighborhood."
Edi:oa City Code, section 810.02, provides that the definitions of Median and Neighborhood ate as follows:
Median. The value (being, in this Section, lot area, lot depth or lot width, as the
case may be) in an ordered set of such values below which and above which
that is an equal number of such values, or which is the arithmetic mean of rite
two. middle values if there is no one such middle value.
Neighborhood All lots in the Single Dwelling Unit District as established by
Section 850 of this Code which are wholly or partially within 500 feet of the
pw4neter of the proposed plat or subdivision, except: .
A. Lots used for publicly owned parks, playgrounds, athletic facilities and golf
courses;
B. Lots used for conditional uses as established by Section 850 of this Code: or
C. Lots separated from the proposed plat or subdivision by the right of way of
either T.H. 100 or TIL 62.
If the neighborhood includes only a part of a lot, then the whole of that lot shall
be inchtded in the neighborhood. As to streets on the perimeter of the proposed
plat or subdivision, to 500 feet shall be measured from ft c0=013 live-of the

5. Pedersen's First. Application for subdivision listed minimum lot area as 21,195 sq. ft.;
minim= lot depth as 190 ft.; and minimum lot .width as 116 R., and requested a
subdivision of the Indian Hills Lot into two R I lots. Proposed lot 1 did not meet the
requirements for minimum lot width. Pedersen requested an 18 -foot width variance for
lot 1, pursuant to the Edina City Code.4 (Larsen Aff. Ex. B.)
4 Edina City Code, section 810.05, entitled "Variances" sets out the requirements for the granting of the variance, as
follows:
Subd. l Grant by Council. In connection with the preliminary or final approval --

A. The hardship is riot a mere inconvenience;
B. The hardship is due to the particular physical surroundings, shape or
topographical condition of the land;
C. The condition or conditions upon which the request for a variance is
based are unique to the property being platted or subdivided and not
generally applicable to other property;
D. The hardship is caused by this Section and not by the applicant;
E. The variance will result in an improved plat or subdivision; and
F. The variance. if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
land within the plat or subdivision or io the neighborhood.
A grant of a variance by the Council shall be deemed to include a favorable
finding on each of the variance grounds set out above even if not spec&a Y set
out in the approval resolution or the minutes of the Council meeting.
Subd. 2 Conditions. In granting a variance the Council may impose conditions
to ensure compliance with the purpose and objectives of this Section and other
applicable provisions of this Code and to protect adjacent properties. The
conditions may be made a part of any Development Contract required by

6. On November 26, 2003, at a regular meeting, the Edina P several lots
Planning Commission 2 in the
determined that the First Application improperly included
calculations establishing the minimum lot requirements. Pedersen agreed to resubmit the
application with corrected calculations for review at the next Planning Commission
meeting.
7. On December 17, 2003, Pedersen submitted to the Edina Planning Commission an
amended application ("Amended First Applieation'j for the subdivision of the Indian
Hills Lot. (Larsen Aff. Ex. F.)
8. The Amended-Mist Application revised the list of relevant lots under the definition
"neighborhood" in the Edina City Code. As a result, theminimum lot depth was changed
to 196 ft., and the minimum lot width was changed to 117 ft. (Larsen Aff. Ex. C.)
9. In his Amended Fast Application, Pedersen requested a 19 -foot width variance for lot 1.
10. On January 7, 2004, the Edina Planning Commission reviewed the Amended First
Application (Compl. Ex. D), and the Edina Planning Commission voted 7 -1 In favor of
the Amended First Application with the 19 -foot width variance for lot 1, a shared
driveway and a single curb cut located approximately at the location of the existing
driveway curb cut. (Larsen Aff. Ex. Fat 2.)
Edina City Code, section 850.07, subdivision 18, entitled, "Setbacks from Naturally Occurring Lakes- Ponds and
Streams" states: "Notwithstanding any other requirements of this Section or other provisions of this Code, in case$
where a portion of a lot or tract is located below The ordbiary high water elevation of a naturally Occurring lake,
pond or stream, the shoreline created by such au ordinary high water elevation shall be deemed to be the rear lot line
or side lot line, as the case may be, for setback purposes."
s Edina City Code, section 810.11, entitled "CYuidelism and Criteria for Evahtating Plats and Subdivisions," set$
forth the considerations for making subdivision decisions. The considerations, in part, are as follows:
Subd. 1 Considerations. The Commission in reviewing proposed plats and
subdivisions and in determining its recomtnendatlon to the Council, and the
Council in determining whether to approve or disappmve of any plat or
subdivision, may consider, among other matters, the following:
A. The impact of -the proposed plat or subdivision, and proposed
development, on the character and syai Ot y of the neighborhood as evidenced
and indicated by, but not limited to, the following matters:
1. The suitability to the size and shape of the lots in the proposed plat or
subdivision relative to the size and shape of lots in the neighborhood; and
2. The compatibility of the size, shape, location and arrangement of the lots in
the proposed plat or subdivision with the proposed density and intended use of
the site and the density and use of lots in the neighborhood.

11. On January 20, 2004, the Edina City Council conducted a public hearing on the Amended
First Application. (Larsen Aff. Exs• A, Q.) At this meeting, the Council received the
planning Commission's report and recommendation, and heard testimony from the
Planning Staff, Pedersen, the developer, and several neighbors. The City Planner
reported that his calculations for the minimum lot area, depth and width were 29,857 sq.
ft., 196 ft., and 116 ft., respectively, and that a variance of 18 feet was required and
requested only for the lot width of lot 16 (Larsen Aff. Ex. A, Q.)
12, Oa January 20, 20049 the Edina City Council voted 4-1 to defer a final vote on the
Amended First Application and instructed the Planning Staff to prepare written
findings setting forth reasons to deny the request for subdivision. (Larsen Aff. Exs. A,
. Q•)
13. On or about February 12, 2004, the planning Staff delivered the requested findings and
report to the City Council. Based upon the information contained in Pedersen's
Amended First Application, the report contained the following proposed findings of fact:
a. The proposed subdivision would alter the character and symmetry of the
neighborhood, and thus would violate the purpose and intent of the
subdivision ordinance;
b. The proponents did not demonstrate a hardship to justify the 19 -foot lot width
variance for lot 1 of the proposed subdivision. The justification was purely
economic in nature;
c. The homes illustrated for the new lots would cause significant tree loss, and
would not be compatible in scale with existing homes in the area; and
d. The driveway approach to the street could cause safety problems due to the
steep grades present on the site.
(Larsen ME Ex. D.)
C. The consistency of the proposed plat or subdivision. and proposed
development, Mud compliance by the proposed plat or subdivision, and tha
proposed development, with the policies, objectives, and goals' of the
Cottqutehwive plan.
E. The inVact of the proposed plat or subdivision, and proposed development
on the health, safety and general welfare of the public.

14. On or about February 13, 2004, Pedersen filed a Further Amended First Application
( "Further Amended First Application') (Larsen Aff. Ex. E) and a petition in support of
proposed variance. (Larsen Aff. Ex. F.) The Further Amended First Application
included revised and updated data for the purpose of determining lots within the
neighborhood calculating the minimum lot area, depth and width as 24,325 sq. ft., 196 ft.,
and 114 ft., respectively. (Larsen Af. Ex. E -)
15. The Further Amended First Application revised the shared lot line in the proposed
subdivision to make the lot widths of lot 1 and lot 2 equal at 110.5 feet, and changed the
single request for a width variance of 19 feet for lot 1, to a request for a width variance of
3.5 feet for each of proposed lots 1 and 2. Also, in the Further Amended First
Application, Pedersen withdrew the economic hardship reason for a variance, relying
solely on the unique nature of the property as the basis for his variance request. (Larsen
Aff. Ex. E.)
16. On February 17, 2004, the Edina City Council conducted a public hearing on Pedersen's
Further Amended First Application. (Larsen Ali Exs. G, R.) After considering the
petition in support of the Further Amended First Application and heating testimony for
and against the application, the Edina City Council voted 3 -1 against adopting the
Planning Staffs findings, decision and reasons to deny the application. Also, the Edina
City Council directed the developer to meet with neighbors to address their concerns.
17. On or about February 26, 2404, a neigbbor adjacent to the Indian dills Lot submitted a
petition against Pedersen's request for variance (Larsen Aff. Ex. H) and, on or about
February 27, 2004, Pedersen submitted a reply to the petition against the request for
variance. (Compl. Ex. K.)
18. On March 1, 2004, the Edina City Council conducted another public hearing on the
Further Amended First Application at its regular meeting. Through the Planning Staff
and City Attorney, the Council confirmed that the application for consideration was the
Further Amended First Application and that the numbers in the most recent listing of the
relevant lots were correct. (Larson Aff. Bxs J, S.) Notwithstanding this confirmation,
that under consideration was Pedersen's requested lot -width variance of 3.5 feet for each
of proposed lots 1 and 2, the Council's minutes state:
Among the issues discussed in both oral and written testimony
were as follows:
A. The Proposed Subdivision would alter the character and
symmetry of the neighborhood, and thus would violate the
purpose and intent of the Subdivision Ordinance.

C. The homes illustrated for the new lots would cause

(Larson Aff. Ex. J at 5.) (emphasis added).
19. On March 1, 2004, the Edina City Council voted 4 -1 to adopt the Planning Staff's
findings, decision and reasons, which had been delivered to the City Council on or about
February 12, 2004, in connection with Pedersen's Amended First Application requesting
a 19 -foot width variance on proposed lot 1.
20, On March 1, 2004, the City Council denied Pedersen's "application for preliminary plat -
approval for the proposed subdivision of 6800 Indian Hills Road, Edina, MN," setting
forth the following reasons:
In determining the appropriateness of a subdivision, the City..
Council relies on the standards and guidelines contained in its
Subdivision Ordinance (Section 810 of the City Code)....
The proposed 19 -foot lot width variance proposed for Lot 1 of
the Proposed Subdivision (modified proposal, requiring 3.5 foot
width variance for each lots does not satisfy the criteria set forth
for the &rlating of a variance.
... Among the considerations set forth [when reviewing proposed
subdivisions] are:
A. The impact . of the proposed plat or subdivision, and
proposed development, on the character and symmetry of
the neighborhood, as evidenced and indicated by, but not
limited to, the following matters:
r Because "significant tree loss" was one of the bases noted by the City as a reason for denial of the Further
Amended First Application, the Court considers it to be substantive, The need for removal of the these due to Dutch
Elm disease apparently was not information known by either of the parties on March 1, 2004, so d= was a good
reason why the information was not presented by Pedersen at the City Council Meeting on March 1, 2004. See .

Second Application for Subdivisio
21. Jahis Second Application submitted on April 12, 2004, Pedersen listed minimum lot
area, depth and width as 24,414 sq. It 194 ft., and 107 ft., respectively. The Second
Application also included new dimensions tdtlihp�d for proposed 1ot27as 334,129 sq. ft area,
309 ft. for lot depth, and 114.5 ft. for
for lot area, 326 ft. for lot depth, and 114.5 ft. for lot width. No variance was
requested in the Second Application. (Larson Aff. Ex. K-)
22. On April 28, 2004,. the Edina City Planning Commission voted to pass the Second
Application onto the Edina City Council for decision without additional action. (Compl.
Ex. N.)
23. On May 18, 2004, the Edina City Council held. a heating on the Second Application and
testimony was heard. The Edina City Council voted 4-0 to table action on the Second
Application until the next council meeting and directed the Edina City Attorney and the
planning Staff to prepare an opinion on the application. The Edina City Council also
directed the Edina City Attorney to investigate whether and how a moratorium on
subdivisions within the city could be adopted. ( Larson Aff. Ex. L.)
24. On May 26, 2004, the Edina City Attorney prepared a memorandum on the issue of
possible enactment of a moratorium on subdivisions in the City. (Compl. Ex. P.)
25. On May 27, 2004, the Edina City Attorney prepared a memorandum on the issue of the
lots and measurements that should be used for purposes of determining whether the
Second Application met the standards for minimum lot width under the Edina City Code.
The City Attorney concluded that the minimum lot width for purposes of evaluating the
proposed lots in the Second Application should be 115 feet. (Compl. Ex. Q.)
26. On June 1, 2004, Pedersen submitted a petition in support of the Second Application and
in response to the City Attorney's memoranda of May 26 and 27, 2004. (Compl. Ex. R)

The petition stated that if the moratorium was enacted, Pedersen intended to file suit
against the City regarding the March 1, 2004, denial of his First Application. (Compl.
Ex. R, at 2, 12.)
27. On June 1, 2004, the Edina City Council voted 4-1 to direct the City Attorney to prepare
an ordinance,imposing a moratorium on subdivision of single - family dwelling lots in the
R -1 Zoning Districts to be considered by the City Council at its June 15, 2004, Regular s
Meeting. (Compl. Ex. S; Larson Aff. Ex. T.)
28. ()n June 15. 2004, after conducting a hearing, 10 the Edina City Council formally adopted
a first reading of the. ordinance for a moratorium on subdivision on single - family
dwellings in the R -1 zone. (Compl. Ex. T; Larsen Aff. 24.)
29. On July 6, 2004, the Edina City Council approved a second reading of the moratorium
ordinance which provides that unless earlier repealed or extended by the Edina City
Council, the moratorium will be effective for a year from its passage.
30. After the Edina City Council passed the moratorium, it voted on Pedersen's Second
Application,.which it denied solely on the basis of the subdivision moratorium. (Larson
Aff. Ex. U.)
31. Pedersen argues that his Further Amended First Application actually did not require a
variance. He argues that three properties should not have been included in the median
calculation of the lot width, and without those three properties in the calculation, there is
no need for a variance. .(See Contpl. ¶¶ 51 -58, 81 -86; Mem. Supp. Pl. Mot. Summ. I at
26.) The City argues that the City Council did not have these facts before it at the time of
'its decision on March 1, 2004, and that the Court should only consider the record that
existed before the City at the time the. City made its decision and, further, that the City
relied on Pedersen's own calculations at the time of the submission of his First
Application and subsequent amendments. (Def. Mem. Opp. 24 -25.)
32. The Court analyzes Pedersen's Further Amended Application as though it required a
variance.
0 The Court notes that the Gary Council minutes reflect that at the same meeting that the City Attorney was directed
to prepare an ordinance imposing a moratedum on subdivision of single -fly dwelling lots in R 1 Zoning

that "compliance with the Subdivision and Zoning Regulations of the City of Edina [would] create au unnecessary

Subdivision and Zoning Regulations as contained in the Edina City Code, sections 850 and 810. (Compl. Ex. S.)

the reasons given.'' Swanson, 421 N.W.2d at 313; Honn v. City of Coon Rapids, 313
N.W.2d 409, 417.(Minn.1981).
9. A city's decision will only be reversed "if its stated reasons are legally insufficient or
without factual basis." Id (citing Rowell v. Board of Adjustment, 446 N.W.2d 917, 921
(Minn. 1989)).
10. "The setting aside of routine municipal decisions should be reserved for those rare
instances in which the City's decision has no rational basis. Except in such cases, it is the
duty of the judiciary to exercise restraint and accord appropriate deference to civil
authorities in.the performance of their duties." White Bear Docking and Storing, Ina v.
City of White Bear Lake, 324 N.W.2d 174,176 (Minn. 1982).
11. Although case law distinguishes between zoning matters which are legislative in e,
such as, rezoning, and those which are quasi judicial, such as, variances and special
permits, the standard of review is the same for all zoning matters, namely, whether the
zoning authority's action was reasonable:. Id. at 176 (citing Honn, 313 N.W:2d at 416-
17); Sagstetter, v. City of St. Paul, 529 N.W.2d 488, 491(Wnn. CL App. 1995) (citing
VanLandschoot v. City of Mendota Heights, 336 N.W.2d 503, 508 (Minn, 1983)) ("A

is unreasonable-')-'

12. "Reasonableness is measured by the standards set out in the city's ordinances.
Reasonableness can be stated in terms of what is not arbitrary and capricious" Id.
(citing Honn, 313 N.W.2d at 415) (citation omitted).
.13. A party challenging a zoning decision bears the burden of showing that stated reasons are
either without factual support in the record or are legally insufficient. Larson v
Washington County, 387 N.W.2d 902 (lvi= Ct. App. 1986), rev. denied (August 20,
1986).
14. "Because zoning laws are a restriction on the. use of private property, the burden of proof
to show arbitrariness is lighter for landowners challenging denial of a special use penalit
than for objectors questioning approval of a permit." Id. at 492 (citing Bd. of Supervisors
x Carver County Bd. of Comm'ry, 302 Minn. 493,225 N.W.2d 815, 819 (1975)).
Right to Seek Relief from Denial of Further Amended First Application
15. The City does not cite any Minnesota authority for the proposition that Pedersen waived
his right to seek relief from the denial of the Further Amended First Application because
he filed it Second Application after the first denial. The City cites Gagnon v Planning
Comm'n of City of Bristol, 608 A.2d 1181 (Conn. 1992). Pedersen cites Soloaga v.
Bannock County, 809 P.2d 1157 (Idaho App. 1990). The cases cited by the pardes-are
not authoritative and are not directly on point.
16. Based on public policy considerations of judicial economy and convenience of the
parties, the Court considers Pedersen's request for relief from the denial of the Further
Amended First Application and allows the amendment to Pedersen's motion for summary
judgment" See, e.g., Green Tree Acceptance, Ina v Midwest Fed. Sax and Loan Assn
of Minneapolis, 433 N.W.2d 140,142 (Mina. Ct. App. 1988).
17. By filing a Second Application on April 12, 2004, Pedersen did not waive his right to
appeal the denial of the Further Amended First Application. Pedersen further preserved
his right to appeal by providing notice to the City that he did plan to file. a lawsuit on the
denial of his Further Amended First Application, if a moratorium was enacted.
Constitutionality of City Ordinance
18. The interpretation of an existing ordinance is a question of law for the court. Rowell v.
Bd. of Adjust. of the City of Moorhead, 446 N.W.2d 917 (Minn. Ct. App. 1989) (citing
Amcon Corp.. v City of Eagan, 348 N.W.2d 66, 72 (Minn. 1984)). The Court is required
to attempt to construe the provisions of the ordinance together. See Minn. Stat. § 645.26,
subd. 1.
I I As aowd above i4 paragraph 26, ou 7une 1, 2004, Pedersen put the City of Ethan an notice that he intended to
seek judicial relieve from tine City's denial of his FtaV= Ameaded First Application.

19. A municipal ordinance is presumed constitutional. The burden of proving that an
ordinance is unreasonable ... rests on the party attacking its validity. City of Crystal x
Fantasy House, 569 N.W.2d 225, 228 (Minn. Ct. App. 1997) (citing City of St. Paul v:.
Dalsin, 245 Minn. 325, 329, 71 N.W.2d 855, 858 (1955)).
20. A provision is unconstitutionally vague if it: "encourages arbitrary and discriminatory
enforcement" or is so indefinite that people "must guess at its meaning." Humenansky V.
Minn.Bd of Med. Exain'rs, 525 N.W.2d 559,564 (Minn. Ct. App. 1994), rev. denied
(Feb. 14,1995.).
21. "Condemned to the use of words, one can never expect mathematical certainty from (the
ordinance] language. Grayned v. City of Rockford, 408 U.S. 104,110 (1972). Even if
the words of the ordinance are marked by flexibility and reasonable breadth, rather than
meticulous specificity, the ordinance is constitutional, if it is clear what the ordinance as a
whole requires. Yd.
22. An ordinance will not be declared void, on grounds of vagueness and uncertainty, unless
it is so imperfect and so deficient in its details as to render it impossible of execution and
enforcement, and is susceptible of no reasonable construction that will support and give it
effect. See WIchelman v. Messner, 83 N.W.2d 800 (Minn. 1957).
23. Although clearly difficult to apply, as evidenced by the very facts in this case, Edina City
Code, section 850.11, subdivision 5B, is not so vague and arbitrary that it cannot be
enforced. With its intention to make neighborhoods more uniform, the City has created a
statute that is flexible enough to be applied to various plats.
Further Amended First Application
Variance and Uudue Hardship
24. The enabling statute, Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2A, grants powers to cities to adopt
and apply subdivision regulations, and provides that a city "shall require that subdivisions
be consistent with the municipality's official map if one exists and its zoning ordinance,
and may require consistency with other official controls and the comprehensive plan."

Jan -26 -2005 12:03pm From -HCDC DRUG COURT + T -379 P.016/021 F -994
25. The power of municipalities and their zoning boards to grant area variances is governed
by Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6. Minnesota Statutes, section 462.357, subdivision 6(2),
states in relevant part:
Undue hardship, when used in connection with the granting of
a variance, means the property in question cannot be put to a
reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official
controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances
unique to the property not created by the landowner, and the
variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
(emphasis added).
26. "A city's authority to grant variances cannot exceed the powers granted by [the statute: '
Sagstetter v City of St. Paul, 529 N.W.2d 488, 491 (Minn. Ct. App. 1995) (citing Rowell,.
446 N.W2d at 921, rev. denied (Dec. 15, 1989)).12 By adopting the language of the
enabling statute, the City. ordinance grants the zoning authority the same power to grant
variances as is allowed by Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6(2). If the variance is permitted
by the statute, it is also permitted by the ordinance. Yd:
27. Unlike use permits or variances,13 which permit uses or development of land other than
that prescribed by zoning regulations, area variances are exemptions from official
controls concerning lot restrictions such as area, height, setback, density and parldng
requirements. Appeal of Kenney, 374 N.W.2d 271,274 (Minn. 1985); see Rowell, 446
N.W.2d at 922. Unlike use permits or variances, area variances do not change the
character of the zoned district. Appeal of Kenney, 374 N.W.2d at 274; 82 AnL Jur. 2d
Zoning & Planning § 256 (1976).
28. The 3.5 -foot width variance, requested in Pedersen's Further Amended First Application
for each of proposed lots 1 and 2, is an area or nonuse variance. See Mohler v. City of &.
Louis Park, 643 N.W.2d 623, 632 (Minn. CL APP. 2002), rev. denied (July 1622002);
Rowell, 446 N.W.2d at 922.
29. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use
for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. Rowell, 446 N.W.2d at 921;
Mim Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6(2).
12 See supra notes 3, 4 and S.
13 in-considering special use permits, the "Supreme Court has determined that inconsistency with a comprehensive
plan is a `legally sufficient reason' for denial" of a subdivision and rezoning application. Campion v. County of
Wright, 347 N.W.2d 289, 292 (Minn. Ct. App. 1984) (citing Hubbard.8roa, Inc. v Catty of Afton, 323 N.W.2d 757

30. The undue hardship requirement does not mean that a property owner must show the land
cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Instead, the property owner
must show that he would like to use his property in a reasonable manner that is prohibited
by ordinance. Mohler, 643 N.W.2d at 630 -31 (citing Rowell, 446 N.W.2d at 922).
31. The three statutory requirements for granting a variance under the undue hardship
standard are: (1) reasonableness; (2) unique circumstances; and (3) essential character of
the locality. Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6(2); Mohler, 643 N.W.2d at 631; Nolan v. City
of Eden Prairie, 610 N.W.2d 697, 701 (Minn. Ct. App. 2000), rev. denied (July 259
2000); Rowell, 446 N.W.2d at 922. All three requirements must be met to establish
undue hardship. Mohler, 643 N.W.2d at 631.
32. "Practical difficulties may justify an area variance" Rowell, 446 N.W.2d at 922 (citing
Merriam Park Cmry.Councd, Inca v McDonough, 297 Minn. 285, 210 N.W.2d 416, 420
(1973) (citations omitted)).
33. Pedersen has shown that he would like to use the Indian Hills Lot in a reasonable manner
that is prohibited by the ordinance. See Rowell, 446 N.W.2d at 922. The 3.5 -foot width
variance is reasonable when the minimum lot width for the neighborhood is 114 feet. See
Mohler, 643 N.W.2d at 632. Pedersen has shown that the unique shape of the lot satisfies
the second statutory requirement. See id. The essential character of the locality will not
be altered by allowing this variance, as this would actually make the locality more
uniform. See id. Not only has the City Council failed to comply with the statutory
factors required for granting a variance, it also failed to comply with its own city code.
See id.
34. The City Council's finding on March 1, 2004, that Pedersen's justification for the
variance request was purely economic in nature is unsupported by the record because
Pedersen withdrew his economic hardship request when he filed his Further Amended
First Application on or about February 13, 2004. The City's failure to consider the
unique shape of the land as a potential undue hardship is unreasonable. (See Larsen Af%
Exs. A at 2, B, C, J.)
35. Based. upon an independent examination of the record, as of March 1, 2004, and in
consideration of the requirements set. forth in Edina City Code, section 810,05, the Court
concludes that the record supports the following findings:
a. Pedersen's hardship is not a mere inconvenience;
b. Pedersen's hardship is due to the particular physical surroundings, shape or
topographical condition of the land;
c. The condition or conditions upon which Pedersen's request for a variance was
based are unique to the Indian Hills Lot being subdivided and is not generally
applicable to other property;

d, The hardship is caused by the lot -width ordinance and not by Pedersen;
e. The variance is likely to result in an improved plat or subdivision;ia and
f. The variance will not alter the essential character of the land with the plat or
subdivision or in the neighborhood.
Denial of Further Amended First Application
36. The City asserts that the City Council found: (a) the proposed subdivision was contrary to
the Comprehensive Plan and the City's Vision 20/20 plan because it would alter the
character and symmetry; (b) the proposed subdivision was contrary to the Comprehensive
Plan, which includes a prohibition of "neck lots" and "flag lots ""; (c) that Pedersen's
application would create undesirable precedent for further subdivision in the
neighborhood 16; and (d) the neighborhood opposed the subdivision.
37. The City's Comprehensive Plan states in relevant part with respect to subdivision
applications:
"Allow further subdivisions of developed single family lots
only if neighborhood character and symmetry are
preserved;
"Prohibit `neck lot' subdivisions, whereby access to public
streets is gained through narrow strips of land adjacent to
other lots."
(Larsen Aff. Ex. O.)
38. The record contains no evidence that the proposed subdivision was in fact a neck lot or
flag lot.
39. While neighborhood feeling may not constitute the sole basis for a zoning decision,
neighborhood feeling may still be taken into account. 17 Swanson, 421 N.W.2d at 313
(citing Northwestern Coll., 281 N.W.2d at 869).
14 Tha Court concludes that the subdivided property would be more symmetrical cud uniform resulting in improved
lots, and is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
`5 Although the City now argues that it relied upon the Comprehensive plan and the Vision 20120 plan, and cites
Larsen AM Exs. R at 13 -14, 3 at 7, the record does not reflect that these concerns were adopted by the entire Ciry
Council as bases for denial of Pedersen's Further Amended First Application. (See Larsen AM Ex. L)
16 Again, the defendant cites to statements made by it City Coun it member, but the record does not reveal that this
asserdon was adopted by the entire City Council (See Larsen Aff. Ex. 1.)
't The City emphasized that the neighbor's concerns that the City preserve the "estate lots" was an important
concern. At the hearing on October 28, 2004, when the Court inquired about the definition of an "estate lot," neither
Poda*m nor the City /mow the dcWtiou Oran "asauo lot;" which apparcndy is not a legal term. The Court
presumes the term is used simply w refer to a large lot.

40. Esthetic considerations such as the architectural style and general appearance of a
proposed project will be a major consideration but will not be the sole justification for
approval or denial of a proposed project. C. R. Investments, Inc. v Village of Shoreview,
304 N.W.2d 320,327 (1d=' .1981).
41. The Indians dill Lot is a very large lot compared to other lots in the locality. As a matter
of law, if the Indian Hills Lot is subdivided, the size and shape of the subdivided lots will
be more symmetrical with the other lots in the neighborhood; they will not change the
character of the neighborhood, relative to the size and shape of lots in the
neighborhood." (See Comp1. Ex. G)
42. With respect to the reasons set forth in the written findings adopted by the City Council
on March 1, 2004, denying Pedersen's request for a-subdivision, no sufficient legal and
factual basis can be inferred from the City Council's fmdings.19 See C. R. Investments,
304 N.W.2d at 325; Northwesrern Coll., 281 N.W.2d at 868; see also Mohler, 643 N.W.2d
at 630.
Second Application
The Moratorium
43. Pedersen "s Second Application required no variance.
44. A moratorium on development is a valid exercise of a municipality's police powers.
Semler Constr., Inc. v City of Hanover, 667 N.W.2d 457, 465 (Minn. CL App. 2003)
(citing Wedemeyer v City of Minneapolis, 540 N.W.2d 539, 542 (Minn. Ct. APP. 1995)).
45. "Mbm a municipality enacts in good faith and without discrimination, a moratorium
on development which is of limited duration, is valid if upon enactment, the study
proceeds promptly and appropriate zoning ordinances are expeditiously adopted when it
is completed*' Almquist v. Town ofMarshan, 308 Minn. 52, 65, 245 N.W.2d 819,826
(1976).
46. "The rule followed in most jurisdictions permits the retroactive application of a zoning
regulation to deny a building permit for which application was made prior to the effective
date of the new ordinance. In applying the Wile, however, consideration is given to
whether or not the landowner has substantially changed his position in reliance on the
existing ordinance and to whether or not the municipality has acted in good faith or has
discriminated against a particular properly owner. Id. (citations omitted) (emphasis
added).
1e Eight of the ten lots with lakeshore on Arrowhead Lake are 55 feet wide or less. (Larsen At£ $x. A at 3.)
Further, the median Iot width for just the neighboring lal cd=e lots is 110 feet at tl>e 50 -foot setback. (Larsen Aff.
Ex. F at 5.)
19 The city Cowwil's donW of Pederscds Further Amended First Application =110 M "the wH1 of the der -W=-
makers and not their judgment" See .Swanson. 421 N.W.2d at 315 (J. Yetka, co==irag).

47. A city may not enact an interim ordinance in an arbitrary manner to limit a certain
project. Fanrasy Mouse, 569 N.W.2d at 229 (citing Medical Services. Inc. v City of
Swage, 487 N.W.2d 263, 267 (Minn. Ct. App. 1992)).
48. Among the factors to consider when determining whether or not a moratorium was
enacted arbitrarily, the court considers.:
a. Whether there is only one pending project that was affected by the moratorium;
b. Whether the City enacted the moratorium before or after legal action was
commenced;
c. Whether the City had a system of zoning ordinances in place; whether the
moratorium was enacted after a closed executive session meeting of the council
called to discuss the legal action or was enacted at an open regular meeting of
board of supervisors one month after board learned of proposal; and
d. Whether members of the board had special expertise in addressing the
complicated problems of zoning problems and urban planning and development.
See Duncanson v. Bd. of Supervisors of Danville Township, 551 N.W.2d 248 (Minn. Ct.
App. 1996)20; Mod. Services, Inc. v. City of Savage, 487 N.W.2d 263 (Mina. Ct. App.
1992).
49. The facts in this case are clearly distinguishable from the facts in Duncanson. In this
case, the first reading of the moratorium ordinance did not occur at an open regular
meeting 2t Pedersen's subdivision request was the only request affected by the
moratorium. The moratorium was enacted July 6, 2004, almost eight months after
Pedersen filed his First Application, almost thiee months after Pedersen filed his Second
Application, and after Pedersen threatened legal action. 22 Although members of the City
Council may have been laypersons, unlike Duncanson, they had the advantage of input
from a Planning Commission comprised of persons with expertise in zoning and planning
matters and experienced with complicated. problems of urban planning and development.
The City does have zoning ordinances in place. Lastly, the,number of subdivision
applications per year are so minimal that the study could have been completed without a
moratorium. (Larsen Aff. Exs. M and N.)
ro In Duncanson, where only one project was pending, the Court of Appeals held that the moratorium was not
arbitrary because:.
a. The moratorium was enacted at au open regular meeting of board of supervisors one mouth alter
board learned of proposal;
b. Members of the board were laypersons with no particular expertise to cope with the complicated
problems of urban planning and development;
c. Members of the board lacked experience; and
d. The city had never addressed any zoning problems and had no zoning ordinances.

50. Based upon a preponderance of the evidence, the Court concludes that the moratorium
was enacted arbitrarily to affect Pedersen's Second Application, and therefore, is invalid
and does not affect Pedersen's Second Application.
Denial of the Second Application
51. Where a subdivision ordinance specifies standards to which a proposed plat must
conform and the proposed plat complies with those standards, it is arbitrary as a matter of
law to deny approval of a plat which complies in all respects with the subdivision
ordinance. Nat'l Capital Corp. v. lrllage of Inver Grove Heights, 222 N.W.2d 550
(Minn. 1974).
52. The City Planning Commission voted to pass Pedersen's Second Application without
additional action. (Compl. Ex. N.) The City Council did not consider the merits of the
Second Application, denying it solely on the basis of the moratorium. (Larsen A.ff. Ex.
U.)
53. The City's denial of Pedersen's Second Application was without legal or factual support.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. The motion for summary judgment of the plaintiff, Brad Pedersen, is granted;
provided, however, that Edina City Code § 950.11, subd. 5B, with respect to
enhanced requirements for Minimum Lot Width is not declared unconstitutional.
2. The motion for summary judgment of the defendant, the City of Edina, is denied.

This letter is to advise you that I have made a decision to resign from the Human Rights
and Relations Commission effective 1 -14 -2005. It is with great consideration that I have
made this decision. I feel that my current responsibilities to my practice and to my
family at this time are of primary importance. I do not believe I have been as active as I
would wish to be on the commission and would like to open my spot to someone with
more time to invest. I have enjoyed my three years on the commission and have enjoyed
seeing the HRRC develop and grow with the great amount of talent brought by each of
the commissioners. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further help in the
community in some way.

Good morning. I am a Reserve Police Officer with Edina, an RN @ Fairview, and a resident at 6024 France
Avenue. Needless to say, there are times when I need to be able to get to both jobs in a hung. This weekend the
snowplows came through in great timing. i just wanted to say a special thank you as for the first time since i have
lived here the sidewalks were plowed right from the street to the sidewalks, creating a wonderful path without
huge snow drifts between the street and the sidewalks. this made so much senseM additionally, they for the first
time actually cleaned the snowdrifts that are created with the plows at the end of my driveway.
This weekend, I had just cleaned the driveway ... and sure enough here comes the plow. Now I have a 2 foot
snowdrift that 1 just cleaned. I shook my head and got ready to go out there again and take care of that AGAIN. in
just a few minutes, here comes the sidewalk plow and cleaned out the driveway entrance. WOW. I just want to
say a special thank you for the good service and for cleaning out the end of my driveway. I can't tell you how
much that makes my life a little easier. Please tell your workers they did a GREAT JOB and we are very
grateful for the extra effortslI
thanks again,
Ann Johnson

Thank you for the assistance of your staff in providing your City's audit and other
requested information to this office.
We have completed our review of your City's 2003 audit and related documents. We
urge the City to work with its auditor and take appropriate action to comply with your
auditor's comments and recommendations. I am providing an article. from my office
relating. to your collateral issue, which will provide you with guidance on that subject.
I would like to take this opportunity to applaud you and your City for your good fiscal
stewardship in maintaining your unreserved fund balance within our recommended range
of 35 and 50 percent of yearly general fund expenditures. Maintaining a fund balance
within this range provides the resources to meet potential fiscal needs. while not
unnecessarily amassing taxpayer dollars. Your City's sound fiscal management in this
area is commendable.
Thank you again for your City's assistance. We look forward to reviewing your 2004
audit next year. If you have any questions, please contact my office.
incerely,

Statement of Position
Deposits of Public Funds
(Depositories and Collateral)
December 2004
State law limits
where and how public funds may be deposited.
Compliance with state
and federal laws is a basic component of protecting the public
funds that have been
entrusted to government entities.
Designation of Depository
Minnesota law requires the governing body of each government entity to designate one or
more financial institutions as a depository for its public funds. , Minn. Stat. §
118A.02, subd. 1. In short, the governing body is responsible for dciding where public
funds will be deposited. Most government entities designate a depository on either an
annual or biennial basis. The designation of a depository should occur on the public
record and be voted on at a public meeting.
Minnesota law ' also permits a governing body to authorize its treasurer or chief financial
officer to designate depositories of funds. For public entities that delegate this authority,
we recommend that the designation take place on an annual or biennial basis. When the
treasurer or chief financial officer makes the designation, a report should be made to the
governing board.
As part of their stewardship of public funds, we recommend that government entities
periodically (annually or biennial) re- examine and re- evaluate the banks and credit
unions into which they place public funds. By simply leaving money in the same
depository year after year, and failing to designate a depository on a periodic basis, public
entities may lose out on the competition many depositories are willing to undertake .for
the opportunity to receive public funds. They also neglect their duty to .periodically
evaluate the soundness of local financial institutions.
Collateral
Collateral represents protection for public funds in the event of a bank failure. All public
funds on deposit in a bank or credit union must be protected by deposit insurance,
corporate surety bond or pledged collateral. Most institutions choose to pledge collateral
for amounts not covered by the deposit insurance. Most compliance problems occur
when the public entity fails to obtain the proper kind of collateral, fails to obtain the
proper amount of collateral, or otherwise fails to comply with federal banking
requirements (FIRREA).
Page 1
Permissible Collateral
- State law defines the types of securities that a financial institution may pledge as
collateral for public deposits. These securities include:
United State Treasury Issues
e Issues of US Government Agencies and Instrumentalities
• Obligations of State and Local Governments
® Time, Deposits (Certificates of Deposits fully insured by the federal deposit
insurance company or federal agency)
In addition to these securities, banks may also pledge irrevocable standby letters of credit
issued by federal home loan banks. These are all very safe forms of collateral because, in
the event of a failure of the depository, the government entity will need to obtain funds
quickly to cover operating expenses.
All of these allowable forms of collateral must meet certain additional requirements. As
a result, the public depositor should review Minn. Stat. § 118A.03, subd. 2, to determine
whether the collateral being pledged meets the statutory requirements of "collateral."
Amount of Collateral
The Federal Deposit Insurance Company provides $100,000 of deposit insurance for all
accounts held by a single depositor to protect the amount on deposit in excess of deposit
insurance'. State law requires that the amount of collateral pledged be 10% more than
the amount not covered by deposit insurance .2 For example, if the government entity has
on deposit $1,000 over and above the deposit insurance amount, the financial institution
needs to pledge $1,100 to protect the deposit.
Since the amount a public entity has on deposit will vary from time to time, the financial
institution needs sufficient amounts of pledged collateral to cover 110% of the uninsured
amount on deposit during peak deposit times. It is incumbent on public entities to
develop procedures to monitor the amount of collateral pledged and available to protect
the deposits throughout the year. As a result, the public entity's chief financial officer or
treasurer needs to monitor deposit amounts against the amount of collateral pledged.
If your. government entity is maintaining large bank account balances throughout the
year, you may wish to consider using excess funds for direct investment in securities
authorized under Minn. Stat. §§ 118A.04 and 118A.05 including the joint powers
government investment pools through the 4M Fund (for cities), the Liquid Asset Fund
(for school districts), and the MAGIC Fund (for counties). The allocation of public funds
available for deposit and direct investment should be addressed in your investment policy
adopted by your governing body.
Public entities receive $100,000 for all interest bearing accounts and a separate $100,000 of covering for
all non - interest bearing accounts. See 12 CFR § 330.14
Z When the collateral consists of standby letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank the
amount of the letters of credit need only equal the insured amount on deposit.
Page 2
I
Compliance with FIRREA
State law requires that the pledge of collateral be done through a written assignment from
the bank to the government entity. 'To perfect the security interest in the pledged
collateral, federal banking law (FIRREA) requires that either. the bank's loan committee
or the bank's board of directors approve the assignment. To document compliance,
public entities should. insist that the depository provide to the public entity a copy of the
minutes of the loan committee or the board of directors, or the resolution adopted either
by the loan committee or the board of directors, approving the pledge of collateral.
If the financial institution fails to approve the assignment at the loan committee or board
of director's level, the written collateral assignment will be. worthless. Should the
financial institution be liquidated, the public entity would not be permitted to take the
collateral and sell it; rather the public entity would become one of the financial
institution's general creditors, and the public entity may receive only a portion of the
actual money it had on deposit. For that reason, it is imperative that public entities
comply with this FIRREA requirement and obtain enforceable assignments of collateral
from their depositories.
In recent years there has been a low number of bank failures in the state of Minnesota.
However, even though the risk of loss is low, the consequences of a bank failure on local
government depositors can be devastating. This type of loss of public funds .can be
avoided by vigilant compliance with state and federal law.

Notes
I grew up in a small town in
southwest Wisconsin where
everyone did business with
everyone else, in part, because
they had to. "Big city" Madison
was a 72 -mile drive, Galena, III.,
was about 45 miles away, and it
took a little more than an hour to
cross the state border to Dubuque,
Iowa, where there were many
more retail and service options.
We bought our groceries at Fennimore Foods. We bought
flowers and gardening supplies from Fennimore Florist and
Greenhouse. We got our hair cut at Fennimore Hair Designs.
People bought furniture at Fennimore Interiors. Everyone read
the Fennimore Times. And you could buy just about anything
at the variety store where my mom works, World of Variety.
In a city with a population of 2,200, it's hard not to know
everybody and it's hard not to do business with locals. But,
like many small towns, Fennimore is a close -knit community
and I believe people really enjoy doing business with each
other there. Even though there is now a Wal -Mart less than
a half -hour away, people still shop at World of Variety. You
can buy flowers online, but people still frequent the local
greenhouse. There are mega supermarkets in the area, but
people still buy their milk at Fennimore Foods (now Bender
Foods), where business appears to be as strong as ever.
In a metropolitan area, it's hard to do business exclusively
with friends and neighbors. And, for those who do, it's probabl
more expensive because, let's face it, you can't "price shop"
as easily with those people. But, because Edina has so many
characteristics of a small village, I hear here, more than
anyplace else since my childhood, "I know a guy who can ..."
Recently, Dr. Mike Gitzen at Interlachen Dental saw my son,
who at age 3 already has issues with his permanent teeth. Dr.
Gitzen recommended we see an orthodontist on France Avenue
right away. He said, "This guy is the best around. He works well
with kids. You couldn't find anyone better." Then, he handed me
the referral card. To my surprise, I knew "the guy" - Dr. Brad
Pearson. (Brad and I belong to the same Rotary club.) Our visit
to Pearson Orthodontics was a pleasant one (well, as pleasant
as going to see an orthodontist can be). Dr. Pearson was
knowledgeable and thorough and didn't scare my little boy
in any way. It was a referral I was glad to have received.
There are many benefits of giving referrals and doing business
with one another in a community like Edina. If the business
community as a whole is strong, each business in that
community will do better.
There are hundreds of great businesses in Edina to patronize.
When you put in a good word for local business, you're
putting in a good word for Edina.

often than others. In order to provide extra benefits to
food banks in cities that do not have Super Bowls,
Kostroski said he wants each NFL city to hold a small -
scale version of the national Taste of the NFL.
Currently, 15 cities have local Taste of the NFL events,
including Minneapolis, which holds a Vikings dinner in the
fall. Kostroski said his goal is to have local events in all 32
NFL cities as soon as possible in order to raise awareness
about Taste of the NFL and hunger relief.
"I've had a small role in helping to improve someone's life
somewhere," Kostroski said about the significance of his
Taste of the NFL project. Apparently, it is a small role
worth more than $5 million and food for countless people

Rotary Club's
Fundraiser Promotes 49
International Aid
By Lelan Bosch
Like good karma, the deeds of the Edina Rotary Club in
other countries came back to members last October when
they were given the chance to celebrate with international
food and themes.
The theme of the Rotary Club's annual fall fundraiser was
"International Friendships," which was chosen to
commemorate Rotary International's 100 years of service
in nations around the world and help raise money for
future projects, both foreign and domestic.
Diane Solmonson, chairwoman of the Rotary fundraiser
committee, said the Edina Rotary Club follows Rotary
International's example and performs many service
projects overseas. "Recently, we worked with orphanages
in the Ukraine and sent them money to help buy a stove,"
Solmonson said. "Some of the other things we have
worked on include a well - drilling project, polio
eradication, American Refugee Committee (ARC) and •
Children's HeartLink."
All of the benefiting programs fit the club's general
mission to serve those in need. ARC helps to find homes
for people who leave their countries due to war. Children's
HeartLink is a program that studies heart disease in
children around the world and develops new prevention
and treatment techniques.
The fall fundraiser, which is the only fundraiser the Edina
Rotary Club holds, used ticket sales and live and silent
auctions to raise money. The Edina Rotary Club's annual
fundraiser has averaged about $40,000 for the past few
years, but Solmonson said last year's total was slightly
higher than in previous years.
The money the fundraiser committee helped raise last year
will be divided for local projects in addition to the
international ones. About 60 percent of the funds will be
used in the community for programs such as those at
Sobriety High and the Edina Senior Center.

Oterview with Wayne Freeman
Q: Why did you open your business in Edina?
A: As an Edina resident since 1967, 1 have a very well -
developed appreciation for all that the community has to
offer to its residents and to the businesses that make
their home in Edina. For this reason, we were very
pleased to occupy an entire floor in the Edina Executive
Plaza at 5200 Willson Road. Not only is the building near
Edina's City Hall, but it is highly visible from Minnesota
Highway 100. The building is directly south of Perkins
Restaurant and is located on the west side of the Edina
Country Club. Because of this location, access from the
freeway is simple and easy for our Executive Suites of
Minnesota tenants and their clients and customers.
Q: What is the best part of having a business in Edina?
A: Having been in the office rental business for more
than 15 years, I can tell you that the people who live
nearby in neighborhoods like Country Club, Parkwood
Knolls and Indian Hills have been a pleasure to deal with.
The people who live in Edina are thrilled that they can
come to and from the office /workplace without having to
drive on the freeway.
Q: What changes have you seen in the Edina business
community since you opened your business?
A: Our Edina office suite, located on Willson Road near
the Edina Country Club and City Hall, opened in January
1999. Since that date, the continuing Internet emergence
has allowed many professionals who used to feel it was
mandatory to office in downtown Minneapolis to move
their office and business to the suburbs. Business people
such as attorneys, financial advisors, stockbrokers and
real estate professionals are able to conduct business in
the suburbs without the hassle or expense of driving to
and parking downtown. Executive Suites of Minnesota
currently has five offices rented to people who were
originally in our downtown Minneapolis suite.
Q: What is one challenge of doing business in Edina?
A: When people are searching for an office space in
Edina, they generally are thinking of Interstate Highway
494 and France Avenue or along Highway 100 near 494,
rather than at our less congested office location as a
potential site for their new office. Therefore, they have to
contact a realtor, use the
Yellow Pages or check our
website at www.exsmn.com
to find us.
Q: What one piece of
advice would you give to
someone opening a
business in Edina?
A: Be prepared to offer the
latest technology and
exceptional customer service o
to the business professionals s
in this suburb.
Q: You have given a lot back Wayne Freeman
to the community. Why is it
so important to you to give of your time?
A: With two sons growing up in Edina, I had the
opportunity to work with Indian Guides, team sports,
school projects and two senior class graduation party
projects that were particularly rewarding. That was done
with no expectation of any personal or business reward.
Q: In what ways have your volunteer efforts
strengthened your business?
A: During my time in the real estate business, I
volunteered to find a site for the Edina senior class party
in 1999. We ended up renting a vacant elementary as a
staging ground for the class party. Several of the
friendships that I made during that project have resulted
in both tenants and vendors for our businesses.
Executive Suites of Minnesota is a family -owned business
that was established in September of 1990. The company
is in its 15th year and has grown from one site and 25
offices to five locations and more than 300 offices
throughout the Twin Cities. The business is owned and
operated by Edina residents Wayne and Sandy Freeman
and their son Greg. The Freemons have lived in Edina since
1967. Last year, the company was ranked first on The
Business Journal's Top 25 list of executive suite providers.
The Business of Edina is a regular column of

business owners and managers to explain why they
choose to do business in Edina. If you would like to be

Toll Lanes Could
Ellectively Manage
Congestion And
Inaeose Roodwoy
COPOCN
In my last article, I indicated an organization called the
MnPASS Study Steering Committee had been formed to
provide policy oversight and input on this joint
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and
Met Council study that will identify a potential Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area MnPASS (brand name) toll
lane system.
The study will provide MnDOT, the Met Council and, I
believe, eventually the Legislature, with information on
the cost, operational, revenue and travel benefits of such
a MnPASS system. This is a potentially significant and
historic undertaking as no state or metropolitan area has
ever thought through a coherent system of tolled lanes.
It is important to note that MnPASS lanes come in
two flavors and would operate as a seamless MnPASS
system.
• HOT (high- occupancy toll) lanes convert existing HOV
(high- occupancy vehicle) lanes to allow single -
occupant vehicle drivers to access them for a fee.
• FAST (Freeing Alternatives to Speedy Transportation)
lanes are new lanes added to existing highways where
all vehicles could access them for a fee, with the
exception of transit and emergency vehicles, which
would have free access.
Based upon traffic volumes and constructability, four
proposed systems of MnPASS toll lanes were evaluated:
• System 1 - Beltway (494/694) plus 1 -35W HOT
consists of the Beltway "ring" and conversion of the
HOV lanes on Interstate Highway 35W and Interstate
Highway 394 to HOT lanes.
• System 2 - Partial Beltway plus 1 -35W HOT consists
of the western beltway, which has the highest
immediate demand, and conversion of the HOV lanes
on 1 -35W and 1 -394 to HOT lanes.
• System 3 - Core Radials consists of 1 -35W and Interstate
Highway 94, which have the highest traffic demand in
the system, as well as 1 -94 and Interstate Highway 494 in
the northwest quadrant of the metropolitan area.
• System 4 - Best of the Screened Corridors consists
of freeways and at -grade facilities that showed strong
MnPASS potential after the initial screening.
The possibilities of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and MnPASS
synergy were also evaluated. It was concluded BRT could
work on MnPASS lanes but MnPASS lanes wouldn't work
on a pre - established BRT system.
Modeling on the potential systems was accomplished
using the Met Council's travel demand model that looks at
2030 traffic volumes on a 2013 highway network per
MnDOT's 10 -Year Work Program. The 2013 network was
modified for each system to include the MnPASS lanes.
In summary, the main Round I findings of the system
evaluation are as follows:
MnPASS lanes can provide an uncongested option
during congested periods for those willing to pay a toll.
On a daily basis, the expected difference in speed
between the MnPASS lanes and the adjacent free lanes
is approximately 10 to 20 miles per hour. Forecasted
peak period speed differences are even higher.
2. Traffic levels in 2030 will result in the HOT lane
portion of the system filling up with HOVs, leaving
little room for additional SOVs (single- occupancy
vehicles) traffic to purchase surplus space.
3. None of the systems could be expected to pay for
themselves, although individual segments might
come close.

his charity event seem to agree that no project or person
is more deserving of such an honor.
'Not only are we able to raise money," said Tom Gladbach,
Tejas Executive Chef, "we're also having a blast doing it."
Gladbach added that the camaraderie and goodwill of the
volunteers and other organizers make the event enjoyable.
Gladbach said the upbeat spirit of the event motivates
organizers and volunteers and that keeps the demand for
attending the event high. The only event tickets that
were scalped for a higher price than Taste of the NFL
tickets last year were Super Bowl tickets, said Gladbach.
He said he heard rumors that some of the Taste of the
NFL tickets were sold for twice their face value, which
range from $6,000 for a corporate table to $400 for a
general guest.
Gladbach has helped with the event the past two years as
former executive chef at Bar Abilene in Uptown
Minneapolis, another establishment operated by
Kostroski's Cuisine Concepts. Appointed executive chef at
Tejas last year, Gladbach will represent the restaurant for
the first time by preparing a dish that will be sampled at
this year's event.
Taste of the NFL takes place in the same city as the Super
0owl each year and brings together the finest chefs from
each city with a National Football League (NFL) team.
Additionally, Taste of the NFL invites football legends of
the past and current stars to help with the event and give
guests a chance to meet them and other celebrities
who appear.
The event raises money for America's Second Harvest -
The Nation's Food Bank Network. America's Second
Harvest food banks in each NFL city receive a portion of
the money raised by the event. The food bank nearest the
Super Bowl city gets an extra portion of the net proceeds
the year of the event. This year, the Lutheran Social
Services Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Florida
will get the special attention from Taste of the NFL
because Super Bowl XXXIX will take place Feb. 6 in
Jacksonville. Fla.
"We really want to give credit to Wayne's group," said Jodi
Gibson, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for
America's Second Harvest. "We are extremely fortunate to
benefit from their efforts." Gibson said Taste of the NFL
has been a success because Kostroski and others involved
have applied an entrepreneurial spirit to assisting
social welfare.
"We have known for years what a champion Wayne has
been for hunger relief," Gibson said after Kostroski
received his award. "We are delighted he got the
recognition he deserved."
Funds from Taste of the NFL also help America's Second
Harvest Community Kitchens, which provide low income
individuals culinary training so they can be self- sufficient
cooks and chefs. The Food Research and Action Center, a
nonprofit organization that researches hunger and
monitors and supports hunger relief programs, also
receives part of the proceeds.
"We lead with the charitable element," Kostroski said. He
stressed that the event's primary objective is to relieve
hunger, not to be an elite social gathering. Kostroski said
Minneapolis is one of several NFL cities that host a local
Taste of the NFL celebrity dinner.
having fun is a natural side effect of the event's charitable
character.
Kostroski said he appreciates the award from the National
Restaurant Association, but will use the award to promote
the event; not highlight his accomplishments. Volunteers
and businesses are more likely to invest in an award -
winning project, Kostroski said. "Any recognition adds
more credibility to the event," Kostroski said.
Kostroski said many cities with NFL teams, especially those
that have outdoor stadiums in cold climates, will never
host a Super Bowl, and some cities host the game more

In the current round of evaluation, three system concepts
will be reviewed, including the "Best of Round 1," which is
the partial beltway that includes all of 494 and the 394 and
35W HOT lanes. Also analyzed will be the proposed toll
system concepts in relationship to the long -range 2030
transportation network, BRT synergies and refined cost
estimates for a system of tolled lanes.
One of the issues I briefly discussed in my previous article
was the potential for a public /private partnership on a toll
lane system. Included in early discussions was whether toll
lanes should be owned by private enterprise(s). This
potential private ownership has been a concern to all the
elected officials on the Committee. Our work over the past
several months has repeatedly generated the query: If
ownership of tolled lanes is a good investment for the
private sector, why wouldn't it be a good investment for the
public sector? If there is revenue to be derived from a
system, why wouldn't the public want to own such a tolled
lane system? The determination has now been made by
MnDOT that ownership of a system of tolled lanes should
be by the public in large part because tax exempt financing
requires the public or non - profit corporation to act as the
financing vehicle. Left as an option for private participation
will therefore potentially be the design, construction, and
actual operation of a tolled lane system.
We have already seen private participation in the traditional
design- bid -build process and in the more complex
Need For Funeral
Facility And Senior
Demographics Led
Washburn- McReavy
To Open Edina
Chapel
By Joe Sullivan
Contributing Writer
According to the 2000 census, 33.3 percent of Edina's
residents are over age 55. Also, at 44.5 years, the median
design /build process such as is being used for the segment
of 1 -494 between Highway 5 and 1 -394 currently under
way. Private operators could also run the toll system. The
MnPASS system is envisioned to have automatic toll
collection using overhead gantries that read the
transponder in your car and automatically charge your
credit card. Pricing would be dynamic and respond to real -
time traffic conditions in the MnPASS lane, thus ensuring a
desired level of "throughput." While a private company
could operate the system, current law prohibits them from
either setting the tolls or providing enforcement. If the
Legislature determined that electronic enforcement were
legal, consideration on alternative methods of enforcement
will be undertaken.
In the second round of evaluation, the technical experts will
provide us with projected system cost analyses and
revenues based upon 2010 forecasts. This information will
then help MnDOT, the Met Council, and ultimately the
Legislature determine whether it is worthwhile to use a
system of tolled lanes to effectively manage congestion and
increase roadway capacity in the metro area. I will report
on the final analysis later this year when the Round 2 work
is complete.

Bill McReavy Sr., and his son Bill McReavy Jr., looked at
similar numbers in 1989 when they began a search for a
new Washburn- McReavy funeral chapel site. "Our market
research told us that Edina had the second - oldest
population in Minnesota, after Aitkin County," Bill Sr. recalls.
In spite of its favorable demographics, Edina did not
have a funeral chapel at the time. The elder McReavy's
wife, Kay, had lived in Edina, and, for a time, was a
teacher at the former Wooddale Elementary School.
Many of her Edina friends had suggested an Edina
chapel. "We concluded that the best place to be, by far,
was Edina," the younger McReavy said.

When it opened in November 1993, Wash burn- McReavy's
Edina Funeral Chapel at 50th and Highway 100 was the
firm's eighth facility. Today, with 12 chapels in Minneapolis
and the suburbs and 155 employees, Washburn- McReavy is
Minnesota's oldest and largest funeral organization.
Washburn - McReavy Network Created By Series
of Mergers
Before 1989, the growth of the McReavy family's
network of funeral chapels in Minneapolis and suburbs
had been accomplished through mergers with other
local mortuary firms. In that context, the decision to
purchase and remodel a 20,000- square -foot office
building at West 50th Street and Minnesota Highway
100 into a funeral facility was viewed by some as
"an incredibly bold step," the elder McReavy recalled.
The site they picked for their Edina chapel was originally
built as Cedric's, a restaurant owned by former
Minneapolis Storcolumnist Cedric Adams. It subsequently
served as corporate headquarters for National Car Rental
System, Hart Ski Co. and hair salon giant Regis Corporation.
Minnesota's Oldest Funeral Firm, Founded
In 1857
Washburn - McReavy was founded in 1857 as Glessner
Furniture and Undertaking Co. It was in a humble frame
building at the east end of an old suspension bridge on
Central Avenue in historic St. Anthony Village. In 1881,
William Washburn entered into a partnership with
William Glessner, which lasted until 1917 when the
furniture part of the enterprise was sold. But Washburn
retained the funeral business, renaming it Washburn
Undertaking Co.
In 1926, Donald R. McReavy, Washburn's nephew
through marriage, joined the company. Only 20,
McReavy exhibited self- confidence and ingratiating
personality traits welcomed by his uncle. Five years
later, McReavy became a full partner and the company
was renamed Washburn - McReavy. 0
That same year, the business moved up Central Avenue
to Fourth Avenue Southeast to an imposing structure,
which was one of Minneapolis' first air - conditioned
buildings. Washburn died in 1932, leaving McReavy to
lead the firm.
McReavy's contacts in the community were legendary.
He successfully shepherded the company through the
Great Depression of the 1930s and withstood the staff
shortages during World War ll. But his sudden death in
1949, at age 43, required his wife, Lillian, and young son
William, still a high school senior, to take over the
business.
Bill McReavy had worked at the funeral home since he
was 14, polishing floors and doing other menial jobs.
After finishing high school, he entered the University of
Minnesota's School of Mortuary Science. Upon
graduation, he joined his mother as a licensed mortician
and co- manager of the company.
Feeling the pressure of increasing traffic congestion at
their longtime location at Fourth and Central avenues,
the McReavys purchased the St. Anthony Commercial
Club in 1960. Just three blocks to the south, the
graceful elegance of its Tudor -style building made the
new location ideal for a funeral home.
In 1881, William Washburn became a
partner in a furniture and funeral
business founded in 1857 in historic
St. Anthony Village. It became
Washburn Undertaking Co. in 1917.

truly thankful.
"I look forward to continue working with the business
community. My views of our Edina business community are
reflective of my own commercial background. My 15 years
as a restaurant owner involved in daily on -site
management has provided me with a personal
understanding of how very hard business people work. It
can be the most consuming job you've ever performed and
also the most rewarding. I have a special place in my heart
for business people. They are a dedicated, courageous and
determined group of men FIEW7
and women."

The Edina Country Club is currently closed for renovations.
Golfers Wi
A Special
Opener
By Lelan Bosch
Wait For
Spring
The Edina Country Club is hibernating this winter.
Instead of the usual two -week hiatus the Country Club
takes in February, it closed the first week in January and
will reopen with a new heating, air conditioning and
ventilation system and consolidated kitchen in mid - April.
"Our aim is to better serve our members," said Gary Schiess,
president of the Edina Country Club's Board of Directors.
Schiess explained that the current heating, air conditioning
and ventilation system is the original system from the 1950s
and needs to be replaced for efficiency and added comfort.
Schiess said after Country Club officials decided to replace
the climate control and ventilation system, they studied
additional improvements and possible efficiencies in the
clubhouse. "We even considered knocking the building
down and building a new one," Schiess said.
The studies found that the clubhouse would save about
$100,000 per year in operating costs by combining its two
kitchens into one kitchen on one floor instead having them
on different floors. After reviewing the options, more than
two - thirds of the club's members voted to include kitchen
consolidation and other clubhouse modifications in the
renovation project.
The $5.4 million project also includes combining the
dining spaces into one area, expanding the pro shop and
improving the clubhouse restrooms. Replacing the heating,
air conditioning and ventilation system alone would have
cost $2.1 million, but Schiess said the new, more efficient
system should save the Country Club money over the long
term.
The current clubhouse is the second in the Country Club's
history and it has been renovated a few times. Each of the
previous times, the clubhouse stayed open, or at least
partially open, throughout the renovation. Renovators
completed minor internal work with the clubhouse open in
November and December, but Schiess said it will be more
cost - effective to shut the clubhouse down completely for
the bulk of the project. "It was impossible to renovate in
an economical way by segmenting the building to keep it
open," Schiess said. "Winter is usually the sleepy time for
country clubs anyway."
After the renovation, the Country Club will not have more
dining room seating than it has now, but Schiess said
improving the operational process and service is the
primary purpose of having one kitchen and consolidated
dining space.
"We are very optimistic about the project," Schiess said.
"We hope and believe it will come on budget and on time."

Bloedow said the Italian Trade Commission showed
interest and it was up to Belleson's to accommodate
• • their request. "This year, we put together a solid event
package and they were more enthusiastic," Bloedow
said. "They said it was the most professional and
comprehensive plan they'd ever seen. They approved
everything we proposed."
The partners also made the event charitable. They sold 100
raffle tickets for a chance to win a round trip for two to
Italy donated by Alitalia Airlines, and proceeds from the $25
tickets went to Open Arms of Minnesota, an organization
that delivers meals to the homes of people with AIDS.
Kevin Winge, executive director of Open Arms, said
Belleson's is the newest of several businesses at 50th &
France to support the organization, including Fashion
Avenue and Lunds. Winge added that Belleson's was a
good match for Open Arms of Minnesota because the
store's mission and products align well with the values
and clientele of the organization.
"The fact that a company is doing outreach and giving back
to the community sends a great message," Winge said.

Nannies And Tutors Help Children And Families
A new business at 50th & France is helping parents give
their children the attention they need despite busy family
schedules.
College Nannies & Tutors, 3925 W. 50th St., is a
specialized placement firm that matches children with
college students or recent graduates who help the
students with schoolwork or watch them while their
parents are at work.
"We tailor the program to the individual's needs," said
Laura Davis, owner of the Edina College Nannies & Tutors
location. College Nannies & Tutors places nannies to fulfill a
family's or student's specific needs. If a student needs care
five days per week or just a ride to a team practice after
school, College Nannies & Tutors will accommodate. The
nannies are prescreened, certified and trained in- house.
Nannies and tutors are also selected to fit the needs
and interests of the students from focusing on different
school subjects to interests in sports. "Research shows
us if a tutor and student can build a relationship, the
student will be more successful," Davis said. College
Nannies & Tutors uses a one -on -one tutoring program
in addition to matching personalities to ensure the child
will develop a strong relationship with his or her tutor.
Davis said 50th & France is a good location because
parents can drop off their students for a session and use
the time to have coffee, buy groceries or get their other
shopping done at nearby stores. "We understand how
busy families are," Davis said. "We try to make it a good
experience for the parent and the child."
Students can benefit from the organization's services
from age 5 until they prepare for college entrance
exams in high school. College Nannies & Tutors offers
tutoring in subjects such as math, reading, foreign
languages and physical education. Davis added that
parents can request tutoring in alternative subject areas
and College Nannies & Tutors will find an employee that
can do the job.
"As we get to know more people in the area," Davis said,
"we will continue to offer more services."
Tejas Returns To The Days Of Old
Before being hired as executive chef at Bar Abilene in
Uptown Minneapolis, Tom Gladbach worked as sous chef
at Tejas. Now, Gladbach is back at Tejas as the executive
chef, and he is restoring the Southwest tradition he
learned from working there over two years ago.
"I want to make Tejas the most popular place to eat in
Edina again," Gladbach said. He mentioned more
traditional menu items as one possible improvement.
Gladbach is going to revitalize the authenticity of the
restaurant's Southwest flavor. he said.
Originally from Missouri, Gladbach learned his culinary
skills as an apprentice of chef Tony Hudson at the
Cornerstone Cafe in Columbia, Mo. From February 2000
until March 2002, Gladbach was second -in- command of
the Tejas kitchen. Then, he led the culinary operations at
Bar Abilene. The executive chef position at Tejas is another
step forward in Gladbach's career.
Karl Greeman, who signed on as restaurant manager
at Tejas in late October, is also making new plans to reignite
(continued on next page)
W I N T E R

(continued from previous page)
the restaurant by focusing on the cuisine. "We're trying to
get back to the basics;' Greeman said. "We want to focus
more on what we are, not who we are."
One change Greeman and Gladbach will work on is a
new line of less expensive, mid -sized dishes. These
small entrees will increase Tejas' importance in the
neighborhood because area guests will be able to dine
at Tejas more frequently.
Tejas will also serve new specials that will match good food
with good drinks, making it easier for guests to choose meals
without worrying about what goes with what. "What's
made Tejas a great restaurant for 17 years is the cuisine,"
Greeman said. "We want to guide guests through the
menu experience."
State Senator Guards Small Businesses
State Sen. Geoff Michel of Edina won an award from
Minnesota's division of the National Federation of
Independent Business (NFIB /Minnesota) for supporting small
business in the 2003 -2004 biennium.
Michel earned the Guardian of Small Business Award
because he understands how many jobs are created by small
businesses and how important they are to the economy of
our state, according to a written statement from
NFIB /Minnesota. "Senator Michel is a good friend of ours
and a real supporter of small- business at the capitol," said
Mike Hickey, State Director of NFIB /Minnesota.
Voting for tort reform to curb lawsuit abuse was one way
Michel tried to improve the atmosphere for small business
in Minnesota, and he said balancing the state budget
without imposing higher taxes or strict regulations on
small businesses is another goal of his in the coming
session.
"Businesses have suffered enough from 9/11 and the
recession," Michel said. "As State officials, we need to be
asking ourselves, 'Are we laying out the welcome mat for
small businesses ?
Michel stressed the importance of small businesses for
creating jobs in the State, and added how pleased he
was with figures from the Minnesota Department of
Employment and Economic Development that said
Minnesota added 7,700 new jobs in October 2004. He said
the new figures prove the Minnesota economy is on the
upswing from 2001.
Dancers from the Chinese American Association of Minnesota

Shanghai Circus at Lund's, located at 50th & France.
Fresh Asian Concept Entertains At Lunds
A Chinese dragon dance colored the ribbon - cutting
ceremony for the Shanghai Circus - Stir Fry and Steam
Show at Lunds near 50th & France in mid - October.
Dancers from the Chinese American Association of
Minnesota performed a traditional dragon dance to
introduce the new service that prepares Asian food with
"cooked -to- order' freshness. The Shanghai Circus is the
culmination of a partnership between Lund Food Holdings,
Inc., the parent company of Lunds and Byerly's, and Lettuce
Entertain You, Inc. (LEYE), a national, independent
restaurant group.
In addition to the dancing, the October ceremony featured
speakers Tres Lund, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Lunds Food Holdings, and Kevin Brown, President and CEO of
LEYE, and gave guests an opportunity to sample the food
and atmosphere of the new fresh Asian food concept at a
day -long open house.
The Shanghai Circus, which will be located in 18 Twin Cities
stores operated by Lund Food Holdings, cooks food in small
quantities to ensure it will not lose its freshness sitting
under a heat lamp. Food choices include "bao," Hong Kong -
style buns that are infused with flavors such as teriyaki,
curry and barbecue pork. Other menu items include spring
roll appetizers, Pad Thai salad and Thai curry chicken entrees.
Shoppers can dine in or take their food to go.
Michelle Croteau, spokeswoman for Lund Food Holdings,
said LEYE and the Shanghai Circus adhere to the same
values of freshness as Lund Food Holdings, Inc., which makes
it a good partnership. She added that this is the first time
LEYE, operator of restaurants such as Ambria, Eiffel Tower
and Twin City Grill, has partnered with a grocer.

•team and an opportunity to reach customers in a way that
is new and unique for us."
Chapati Indian Restaurant recently opened in the
70th & Cahill neighborhood shopping area.
Extensive Indian Menu Arrives In Edina
The appetizing menu from Chapati Indian restaurant in
Northfield, Minn., is now pleasing patrons at the new
Chapati location in Edina.
When Chapati opened in Edina in early October, it
introduced to the City a menu with seven pages of
traditional Indian cuisine, desserts and drinks. Entrees
include nawabi tikka, chicken breast marinated in yogurt
and mild spices; chicken tikka masala with tomato, onion
and garlic; and boti- ka- masala, cubed Iamb marinated in a
tomato -based sauce.
Chapati, located in the former New Delhi Indian Bistro
location at 7078 Amundson Ave., also has seafood dishes
such as shrimp and fish curry, and an entire page of the
restaurant's menu is dedicated to vegetarian dishes. Two of
the most popular vegetarian selections at the restaurant are
the vegetable dumplings in creamy sauce sprinkled with
cashews and raisins known as malai kofta and a dish called
palak paneer, chopped spinach with cheese made at Chapati.
chefs at Chapati are willing to season each order from
mild to hot to fit different tastes.
Owner Norman Butler came to the United States from
England eight years ago and opened Chapati and the
Contented Cow pub in Northfield in autumn 1999. He said
his businesses bring the Midwest two well -known aspects
of English culture, "pub life" and Indian food. "There was a
time when fish and chips was the official meal of
England," Butler said. "Now it's chicken tikka masala."
Like all of Butler's establishments, the Edina Chapati is a
nonsmoking facility. The restaurant also offers take -out,
and caters parties and other events.

Council Members:
I am writing on behalf of Doug Johnson. I have known Doug for years, and worked with
him several tunes. He attends my church, and I have been on councils with him. As the
Director of Community Education for Edina, Doug has done a great job. He as
undertaken large projects, such as Career Connections and the Fish Opener, and given
input to the Capital Bond Oversight Committee about the referendum passed for the
school district.
Together we planned the Community Volunteer Fair last year. I undertook the fair as my
Eagle Scout project, but without Doug's help and guidance, I would not have been able to
put it together in four months. Doug made sure I had the help I needed and had
connections around the city to get the word out about the fair. He was able to attract
sponsors for the fair, including Coca -Cola, giving us the resources we needed to make it a
success.
Doug knows Edina. Whenever I work with him, the connections he has in the area and
how well'he knows the city astound me. His leadership skills are extraordinarily
valuable. He knows how to organize groups of people to get jobs done in a timely and
efficient manner. I was a member of the Community Education Services Board with
Doug last year as well. He was the board member everyone turned to for answers,
advice, and guidance with projects. At School Board meetings I attended, the board
members routinely asked Doug for his opinion of decisions, because they knew he was
informed. He is greatly respected, and an excellent leader.
Doug would be a great addition to the Edina City Council, and would help the council
work together with the school district to create a better, stronger Edina.
Thank you for your time, and good luck with your decision.
Sincerely,
Will Amundson
