Executive Director REPORT /RECOMMENDATION To: Mayor & City Council Agenda Item # HRA H. From: John Wallin, Consent ❑ Finance Director Information Only ❑ Date: December 20, 2005 Mgr. Recommends ® To HRA ❑ To Council Subject: Budget Amendments to 50th and Action ❑ . Motion France and Centennial Lakes Tax ® Resolution Increment Districts ❑ Ordinance ❑ Discussion Recommendation: Approve Resolution authorizing budget amendments to the 50th and France and Centennial Lakes Tax Increment Districts. Info /Background: Two of the City's Tax Increment Districts are classified as "pre -79" districts according to the tax increment statutes. According to the statutes, per -79 districts (50th and France and Edinborough) may only expend funds to pay debt service after April 1, 2001. The City issued "pooled debt" for the acquisition and construction of Centennial Lakes park in 1988 and 1989. By issuing "pooled debt ", the principal and interest for the debt could be paid by 3 tax increment districts — Centennial Lakes, Edinborough, and 50th and France TIF districts. Under the current structure, the City pays the debt service out of the Centennial Lakes District and transfers funds from 50th and Edinborough to help pay the debt service. At the time of issuance, this made the most sense since the debt is directly attributable to the Centennial district. The original $10,000,000 budget set for the transfers from 50th and France to Centennial Lakes has been transferred as of December 31, 2004. According to the estimated tax increment revenues expected to be received over the remaining life of the district,, if no further transfers are made between 50th and France and Centennial Lakes, the 50th district would decertify in 2009 with a balance in excess of $5,000,000. Transferring the proposed amount over the next 5 years would add to the potential for additional projects to be funded in the Centennial Lakes District and the entire Southdale Development District in the future. The Centennial Lakes tax increment district will not be decertified until December 31, 2014. The City adopted the last budget amendment in March 2001. HRA RESOLUTION NO. 2005-4 RESOLUTION MODIFYING BUDGETS City Of Edina TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS #1200 AND #1203 BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the 'Board ") of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA ") for the City of Edina, Minnesota (the "City ") as follows: 1. Background 1.1. The tax increment financing plans (the "TIF Plans ") for the following tax increment financing districts (the "TIF Districts ") allow for the pooling of revenues to support bonded indebtedness: District #1200 (50th and France), District #1201 (Edinborough), and District #1203 (Centennial Lakes). 1.2. All of the TIF Districts were established by the HRA prior to 1990. 1.3. The TIF plans currently authorize tax increment revenues to be transferred from District #1200 and District #1201 into District #1203 for the payment of principal and interest on bonded indebtedness. It is necessary and desirable, to allow for the ability to account the use of tax increment revenues to pay principal and interest on bonded indebtedness as either a transfer of funds or as a direct expenditure. To comply with the reporting requirements of the Office of the State Auditor it is necessary to modify the budget for District #1200 (50th and France) and District #1203 (Centennial Lakes) to provide for additional transfer of tax increment revenue from District #1200 (50th and France) to District #1203 (Centennial Lakes). 2. Action 2.1. The budget for District #1200 (50th and France) is hereby modified to increase the line item for Transfers Out by $5,000,000 and the budget for District #1203 (Centennial Lakes) is hereby modified to increase the item for Transfers In by $5,000,000. The Board finds that the modifications do not increase authorized expenditures or increase bonded indebtedness and, therefore, a public hearing is not required prior to the adoption of this modification. Adopted this 20th day of December, 2005.

RESOLUTION NO. 2005 -91 APPROVED - VACATION OF PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT - PARKWOOD KNOLLS 26TH ADDITION Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Engineer Presentation Engineer Houle explained a request had been received for the Council to consider vacating the existing utility easement between two lots in Parkwood Knolls 26th Addition. Vacation of the utility easement would allow the property owner to build one house across both lots. Mr. Houle noted Parkwood Knolls 26th Addition had been platted in 2003 /2004. There was a typical five -foot utility easement on the common lot lines of the subdivision. Mr. Houle reported that Edina Utilities, Centerpoint Energy, Qwest, and Time Warner have no objections to the requested vacation. However, he noted that Xcel Energy conditioned their approval on moving a transformer located on the property. Mr. Houle stated the owner has agreed to move the transformer. He added staff recommended vacation of the utility easement conditioned upon the property owner moving the transformer. Public Comment No one appeared.

RESOLUTION- NO. 2005 -107 ADOPTING APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CENTENNIAL LAKES OVERALL DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN - CYPRESS EQUITIES (7311 FRANCE AVENUE ) Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Planner Presentation Planner Larsen explained the requested amendment was part of the Centennial Lakes Development. He stated the 95 acre Centennial Lakes development was originally approved in 1987. The approved plan illustrated 1,085 dwelling units, and 1,256,900 square feet of non - residential space. Mr. Larsen Page 2 Minutes/Edina City Council/Deceniber 6, 2005 said the eventual build out contained 1,037,200 square feet of non - residential space and 348 dwelling units. He said this left the ability to add 737 dwelling units and 219,700 square feet of non - residential space under the approved master plan. Mr. Larsen explained the subject site (of the former Centennial Lakes Theater) represented approximately twelve percent of the net land area within the master plan. Therefore, it could be allocated 88 dwelling units and 69,200 square feet of non - residential space. He reported the proposed development requested 88 dwelling units and 86,000 square feet of retail- restaurant space. Mr. Larsen said the proposal consisted of two levels of retail above structured parking along France Avenue with two restaurants proposed near the pond. In addition, an ;eighteen story condo tower built on top of ' structured parking serving both the dwelling units and the restaurants was proposed. Mr. Larsen said staff believed the additional 'non - residential space could, be allowed because it was highly unlikely to be development elsewhere on the site. Mr. Larsen said the proposed amendment would require a height variance: , Mr. Larsen added the original proposal was heard by the Planning Commission in August and continued to allow revisions to the original plans. He noted the Planning Commission at their September meeting continued the item to allow the Commission to receive the Greater Southdale Area Land Use and Transportation Study. He reported the Planning Commission; at their October meeting, recommended the Council approve ' the requested amendment to the Centennial Lakes Overall Development Plan subject to: 1. Utility relocations - requiring a developer's agreement to relocate storm sewer and water main; 2. Transit - requiring a dedication of a transit easement across the property;. 3. Cross- easements - required to allow access to 7373 France Avenue, property to the south; 4. Access to site will require the following a, or b; a. Submission of proof of permission (easements) to City Engineer from the owner of 7235 France Avenueto access 7311'France Avenue across their property; or b. Petition to City of Edina to acquire public easement and construct roadway to access 7311 France Avenue 5. Submission of plans and specifications to Park Director for any proposed work to City park property for approval; 6. Submission of plans and specifications to Hennepin County Engineer for work completed with County right -of -way; . 7. Providing, storm water best management practices' on site and submission of plans and specifications to Nine Mile Creek Watershed District for approval; and 8. ` Receipt of.. Executed. amendment to existing covenants agreement addressing park maintenance assessment. Mr. Larsen introduced the proponents Bret Witzig and Walter Hughes to present their project. Proponent Presentation Bret Witzig, 15601 Dallas Place, Addison, Texas, stated he represented Cypress Equities, the proponent of the redevelopment plan. He said Cypress was an affiliate of Staubach Retail Services. Mr. Witzig said Staubach had over seventy offices with twenty -one billion dollars in transactions amounting to over 290 million square feet of development. Mr. Witzig explained that Cypress Equities was the development entity of the Staubach Company and was founded in 1995. He explained they were headquartered in Dallas with four regional offices in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco and Phoenix. He added they currently have approximately $800,000,000 worth of developments in progress throughout the country. Page 3 Minutes/Edina Ci!y Council/December 6, 2005 Mr. Witzig said he would like to explain how they decided on a tower height, traffic and tying the proposed project into Centennial Lakes Park. He said Cypress sat down with staff and calculated, based upon City code and upon excess development rights from the Centennial Lakes Master Plan, the number of condo units and square footage of non - residential development. Mr. Witzig said their original proposal contained a tower one hundred feet taller, which had been reduced while going through the Planning Commission review. He said they felt the tower was important due to the high end nature of the project. Mr. Witzig said they felt the existing Centennial Lakes Park was a huge amenity to the site and was the reason that the buildings had been located as proposed to allow them to tie into the park. Mr. Witzig introduced Walter Hughes, architect for the project to review the proposal in more detail. Walter Hughes, Humphrey & Partners, Dallas, Texas, stated he was the project architect. Mr. Walter Hughes said -his company was based in Dallas, but they have done quite a bit of work in Minneapolis and some work in Edina previously. Mr. Walter Hughes presented a summary of the proposed project stating there Were four major components: ■ Residential Tower containing 88 units and 18 stories high, consisting of fifteen levels of condo units and three levels of structured parking. One level of parking proposed to be constructed below grade. ■ Restaurant approximately 20,000 square feet - adjacent to the lake with large open patio facing the park, accessible from the outside, bordering the "main square'. I ■ Retail approximately 66,000 square feet - located on France Avenue; two stories below which will be two and one half levels of parking. ■ Parking - composed of three. different areas, underground and above ground below the tower, parking below the retail and surface spaces. Mr. Walter Hughes said the proposed plan in his opinion 'created a strong sense of place, where people can work, live, walk to a restaurant, walk to shops and it was also inviting for the rest of the community because of the walkways and openness to the park. Mr. Walter. Hughes displayed graphics and explained the location of the proposed parking, entrances,. walkways, and all'the components of the project. He said that the parking below.the tower was divided so that the lower two levels were for the restaurant and the, top parking level was for the tower. Mr. Walter Hughes said that valet parking would be available for the, restaurants. Mr. Walter Hughes said the tower was .proposed to contain a lot of limestone, some brick and precast, a little more contemporary, but still tied into. the neighborhood, The retail would, follow along the same lines, with a large open plaza when entering off France Avenue with Spanish steps onto the ellipse walkway leading to the green space and some retail all on the ground floor. He said the parking .structure would be' covered up, wrapped by either residential, restaurants, or retail. Mr. Walter Hughes demonstrated the shadow studies they had conducted and showed the shadows on various days at 8 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. He said the shadow either fell over the parking or the retail area. Mr. Walter Hughes also used some three dimensional depictions to demonstrate the potential massing of the project. Member Masica asked how many stories were shown on the elevation presented to the Council. Mr. Walter Hughes said fifteen stories of condos were shown plus three levels of parking. The parking would also tie to the retail so the whole project tied together. Member Masica said the depiction Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 appeared to have ten balconies and was the parking garage also disguised in the same manner on the lake side. She also asked if in addition to the valet parking restaurant patrons could access the parking garage themselves. Mr. Walter Hughes said that all units would have balconies and there were 15 levels of condos, but the design was done specifically to make the building not appear like an apartment and to break up the scale of the building. He said on the lake side, the restaurants would totally cover the parking portion of the structure. Mr. Walter Hughes said that patrons could access the parking garage or the surface spots. Mayor Hovland requested background information on the traffic study be presented. Ed Terhaar, Benshoof and Associates, 10417 Excelsior Boulevard, Hopkins, stated his firm performed the traffic study for the proposed development. Mr. Terhaar said his firm discussed with City staff what data should be collected and studied. He said the results of his firms traffic study were in a report dated September 8, 2005. Mr. Terhaar reviewed the existing traffic conditions, the traffic forecasts, the expected peak trip generation, the trip distribution percentages, traffic volumes, and Benshoof's traffic analysis with the resulting level of service (LOS) projections. He reported that all projected levels of service fell within the levels of service designated LOS A through LOS E. Mr. Terhaar reviewed the following conclusions of the report: • The proposed condominiums, restaurants and retail stores will add an estimated net total of 116 trips during the weekday AM peak hour and 413 trips during the weekday PM peak hour to the surrounding roadway system. • The France Avenue /Gallagher Drive intersection has adequate capacity with existing geometrics and control to accommodate the proposed development while maintaining acceptable levels of service. • In order to prevent westbound queues from extending past the development access from Gallagher Drive, dedicated left -turn lanes and shared through /right -turn lanes were recommended for each approach of Gallagher Drive at France Avenue. • In order to help accommodate large vehicles making concurrent left turn maneuvers from Gallagher Drive onto France Avenue, the center line of the west approach should be shifted to the north by six feet. Benshoof also recommended extension of the longitudinal lane line markings and modification to the France Avenue medians on the departure side. • The access points and the proposed internal drive aisles would be able to accommodate the future transit system proposed for the area. The detailed route through the site would need carefull review to reduce internal traffic conflicts. Mr. Terhaar answered questions regarding various aspects of his report from the Council. Member Hulbert asked about the potential of a circulating transit bus going through the development. She expressed concern that allowing the bus would block off one of the lanes on France Avenue while the bus stopped. She asked if Hennepin County would be where approval would come allowing a curb cut to accommodate the bus site. Mr. Terhaar said that since France Avenue was a county road they would be the granting authority for changes. Mayor Hovland asked Walter Hughes if any shadow studies were done during the summer solstice late in the afternoon when it can be light until about 10:00 p.m. Mr. Walter Hughes showed a shadow study completed on June 21st at 8:00 a.m., noon, and 3:00 p.m. Mayor Hovland said he would like to see 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Mr. Walter Hughes said he could not say exactly where the 5:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. shadow would fall. Mayor Hovland asked why the developer wanted fifteen stories of residential. Mr. Witzig replied that the fifteen stories were derived after meeting with City staff to find out what development rights Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 remained on the property from the original master plan. Cypress staff then determined what an optimal project would be for Cypress to develop. He said they had originally proposed 22 floors, but had reduced that request to 18 floors after going to the Planning Commission. Mr. Witzig said reducing the height much more would change the entire feel of the project. They designed a project that would maximize the views from the lake and allow adequate green space in conjunction with retail and restaurants to allow them to offer the development to their desired market. Mayor Hovland asked Walter Hughes to respond to why the height of the building was important. Mr. Walter Hughes stated that typically a taller thinner building was more elegant than covering the entire land mass with townhomes. Member Masica asked staff what the maximum number of floors could be built on this property given the current zoning without any variance. Mr. Larsen replied that the Zoning Ordinance did not have a height limit in a mixed development district. It would be governed by the setback, so the taller the building, the more setback would be required. He continued stating that in this case a setback variance would be required because of the height of the building in its relationship to the north property line. Member Masica asked how many stories could be built on the current site without a variance. Mr. Larsen said that given where the proposed building sat, approximately a four story building could be built without any variance. He added that rearrangement of the proposal could derive a taller building with no need for a variance. Mr. Walter Hughes interjected that rearranging the project would loose the public space which was very important for the project.. Member Hulbert asked how the project was conceived. Mr. Witzig said that Cypress Development became aware of the site and over several months evolved the project to what was before the Council. He said it was the conception of Cypress that changed after consultation with staff relative to the remaining development rights and zoning relative to mixed use developments. Member Masica asked what hardship Cypress would say warranted granting the requested setback variance. Mr. Witzig said that he would say changing the configuration of the site plan and eliminating the variance would alter the project to the degree that it would not be the same project with the focus on the open space and the openness to the existing park. He said the requested variance was a setback from the street where the impact would be less than situated elsewhere on the property. Member Housh asked if when the Master Plan was developed had the movie theater been planned for the current site or had that been a compromise. He also asked since the site was a mixed use development what other types of occupancies would be allowable. Mr. Larsen said the movie theater had been part of the original master plan. Mr. Larsen said there would be a wide range of allowable uses for the site such as more office space, more medical space, straight retail, or straight housing, all would be allowed principal uses within the mixed use development district. Member Swenson reviewed with Mr. Walter Hughes the existing and concept of the proposed building comparing and contrasting the heights and setback. She noted the proposed project would be built within the footprint of the existing theater and asked if the developer could put three levels of parking below ground and two above ground. Mr. Walter Hughes said anything would be possible that it would be a matter of the cost. Member Swenson asked how the delivery and pick -up of the restaurant and retail goods would be handled on the site. Mr. Walter Hughes replied that the heaviest user in the development would be Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 the restaurants. He said that deliveries and trash collection would be through the northeast side of the parking structure inside the structure, out of sight. The residents moving in and out of the tower would also be served through the parking structure. The retail on France Avenue would have a loading area on the France side of the project. Mayor Hovland said he wanted to talk about the massing of the project. He asked what the impact would be relative to the public space and building design if the project were a fourteen story building instead of an eighteen story building. Mr. Walter Hughes replied that summarily the public space would shrink approximately 70,000 square feet and would need to be placed somewhere in the project design. Mayor Hovland asked what type of retail would be included in the project. Mr. Witzig said the tenant mix would include: Retail on France, two large home furnishing stores on either end cap, terrace above France would be small retail due to the depth, two restaurants one steak house and a couple of other high end restaurant. He added that these were all preliminary and nothing was decided. He said the vision would be for the retail along France to have larger end caps with smaller retailers on the interior and then the restaurants. Mayor Hovland asked about how the excess development rights were derived. Mr. Larsen explained the development from the original plan that had not been built was calculated, which was about 700 residential units and 200,000 square feet of non residential space. These were then allocated among the uses that had reasonable potential to add space amongst the original 95 acres. On the basis of that the net private land percentage was calculated and the site capacity was derived. Member Masica asked Mr. Walter Hughes to suggest possible ways the project could be redesigned with a lower building heights. Mr. Walter Hughes said he would have to think about it, but most likely the public space would need to be reduced to accommodate a larger building mass. Member Hulbert asked if the Centennial Lakes archway would be preserved and also asked what accommodations would be made to allow people to access the public park through the proposed project. Would there be any specific parking reserved for park users and could the park be reached without needing to weave through the retail. Mr. Walter Hughes said that it was very important to the project that the lake be accessible. The developers want people to come to the project from the lake and vise versa. He also said that the parking would be available to park users. Mr. Larsen said he wanted to clear up a common misconception. He stated the Cypress proposal was not connected to the Southdale Area Study in any way. Public Comment Gene Persha, 6917 Cornelia Drive, stated he had been a resident of Edina for twenty-nine years. Mr. Persha objected to the Cypress project and to the Southdale Area Planning Study. He urged denial of the requested amendment to the Centennial Lake Master Plan. Bruce McPheeters, 4920 Poppy Lane, asked that a condition be added to any approval that the Centennial Lakes Park walkway be kept open. Sharon Ming, 1103 Coventry Place, stated that she had lived in Edina since 1981 and at the Coventry for one and one half years. Ms. Ming spoke in support of the project urging the Council to grant the requested amendment. Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 Grant North, 719 Coventry Lane, stated he was a new resident to the area. He expressed concern about the proposed redevelopment and requested that the neighborhood character be preserved. Ann Marie Gramme, 602 Coventry Lane, stated when she bought her townhouse in 1998 she did not realize any high rises existed in the original plan. She urged denial of the proposal because it would alter the character of the park and neighborhood. JoEllen Deever, 7405 Oaklawn Avenue, asked the Council to defer any decision until the Southdale Area study had been completed. Ms. Deever expressed concern about traffic on West 70t Street. Roberta Thorpe, 6904 Cornelia Place, stated she was a frequent park user and expressed her concern about_ the proposed.iplan. She urged Council to gather more information in greater detail before granting the amendment requested. John, , Bohan,' 800 Coventry Place, `stated he had been a resident since 1996 and -moved to the area because it was a residential community. He said the developer should not be allowed to drive the system and urged the Council to deny the requested plan amendment. Cindy Jarvis; 1016 Coventry Place, asked for greater detail in the shadow study the proponent presented. Ms. Jarvis said because of the location of her unit, her family would be the most affected by the proposal and she urged the Council to deny the requested amendment because the proposal was not right for the neighborhood. Member Masica asked if there would be any infringements to the park or would all amenities remain in place. Mr. Larsen said that the proposed plan would stay within the private property lines and would not encroach upon the park. He noted the proponent had suggested some possible alterations to landscaping within the park, but staff had informed the proponent that they would reserve the right to review any such alteration at a later date when the project was more defined. Member Masica asked if there was any reserved parking proposed for park, users whether the proposed restaurant parking would charge a fee for use. Mr. Larsen noted that there was a blanket easement over all of the parking within the Centennial Lake Development that would carry forward: Therefore, any parking with the exception of the secured parking for the condominiums would be available to the park users. Mr. Witzig said the retail and restaurant would not be charged fees for. use, however valet service 'may be offered at a fee. Member Housh commented that the Centennial Lakes Park..was undoubtedly an asset to the City 'and had done much. to make that area a good place to live, but if he remembered correctly when ;lie was growing up in Edina the area was a gravel pit. He asked staff to confirm his remembrance. Mr. Gordon Hughes stated that the bulk of the property had been owned by Hedberg and Sons Aggregate and had been used for sand and gravel mining. It was also used for ready -mix concrete and the Hedberg's also sold various other aggregate materials. At one time the elevation of the property was significantly higher until it was mined down to street grade when the property was offered for sale and developed as Centennial Lakes. Member Hulbert asked how much the park cost to develop. Mr. Gordon Hughes replied it was developed in phases and to the best of his recollection the grand total would be around fifteen million dollars for the park, the pond, and all the trails around the' area. Continuing, Member Hulbert asked for confirmation of her understanding that all business and residents contribute to the cost of maintaining the park. Mr. Gordon Hughes said there were two things established to maintain the park. First, there was an endowment, consisting of dedications made by the original developer, Page 8 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 deposited into a fund, held by the City to defray the costs of maintain and programming the park. That fund currently had a balance of around 4.5 million dollars, out of the original approximate six million. In addition, all residential units in the development pay $15 /month to the City for park maintenance and programming. Mr. Gordon Hughes said most of the non residential area pays $0.20 per square feet annually. He noted that some of the retail space pays $0.10 per square foot. Mr. Gordon Hughes said the same formula applied to the Edinborough Development and that the City managed both Centennial Lakes and Edinborough Parks together under one staff and management. Member Housh asked for clarification of several citizens request that another developer be allowed to bring forward a different plan. Mr. Gordon Hughes said there was a misunderstanding, that all of the property at Centennial Lakes was owned by the City of Edina. The City only owns and controls the park land. He stated all other property in the area was under private ownership and the only way the City could step in would be to acquire either the property or the development rights and then solicit proposals. Mr. Gordon Hughes added another clarification on parking. He said that under the underlying agreements relative to Centennial Lakes, all of the parking spaces throughout the entire Centennial Lakes Development except for residential garage parking would be available to the public. Park users may park anywhere they desire. Member Swenson said one of the issues she has heard from citizens was the use of the park and their accessibility to be able to move around the park. Therefore, would it be possible at this time to add a condition to any approval that the path must be kept open during construction. Secondly, could the necessary right to the land needed for any future transit trolley be maintained in the favor of the City. Mr. Larsen said keeping the park open could be attempted, but added there may be for safety reasons, the need for temporary closures. Mayor Hovland asked staff to comment on the mixed development district and why this project was advancing even though the Southdale District Study was not completed. Mr. Larsen said that Centennial Lakes and Southdale were two different zoning districts and different rules applied to each. He said that Cypress Equities' proposal fit under the existing zoning except for the height variance, but the uses, parking and other parameters all conform to Mixed Development District 6 requirements. Mayor Hovland asked Mr. Larsen s professional opinion relative to the height variance for the proposed project. Mr. Larsen said the project has been looked at by the Planning Department and Planning Commission for some time. He said there were trade offs when reviewing a tall building compared to a shorter building. Over time, Mr. Larsen said he had become comfortable with the height of the building. He suggested it did not set a new precedent, since on the other end of the development Edinborough Park Plaza had eighteen stories. He added that over three sessions, the Planning Commission also became comfortable with the height and that it would be in a location with minimal impact. He said that subject to a good design it would fit well in the area. Member Hulbert said she had spoken with Wayne Houle relative to the sewer capacity. She asked him to comment on how the proposed project would fit into that capacity. Mr. Houle said staff has had discussions with Met Council regarding sewer capacity in the Southdale Area, but he stated he did not believe the proposed project,would affect the City's sewer capacity because of the previously approved development plan that had been factored into the City's capacity in the last comprehensive plan. Mr. Houle noted that the developer had been considering the installation of a lift station which would control their peak pumping. He stated he did not believe there would be any capacity issues. Member Hulbert stated she was concerned about the number of times the proposed project was justified in the Planning Commission discussions because it was a part of the Centennial Lakes Master Page 9 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 Plan. From the notes the Council had been given from the Planning Commission and from her conversation with one Planning Commissioner, she was told the Planning Commission was never shown a copy of the Planning Commission Master Plan. She asked if the Planning Commission received a copy of the master plan showing this parcel and its relationship to the plan. Mr. Larsen stated the Planning Commission did receive a copy of the Master Plan. Member Hulbert asked_ if there was any discussion as to the distribution and height of the properties, because the copy she received she had to review with the City Manager since.the key on the plan was so blurred. She commented'that the original plan had very specific distribution of housing and retail and "heights. Member Hulbert said the ,height was concentrated at the south east corner and higher density housing in specific areas,. but not evenly covering the whole site. She said the jump of redistributing development rights not built evenly did not seem logical or consistent with the plan. Mr. Larsen answered the development not built was what would be available for future use. He said they "were not suggesting that future development be distributed evenly, across the area not developed, however, they must be an equitable_ method of distributing .the development rights fair to all property'owners and that's the approach taken. Mr. Larsen added a considerable amount of time had been spent in the first two Planning Commission ''meetings explaining how .a 4.2 acre stand alone site would be reviewed as compared to the subject site. He said looking at the ' site independently would, he believed, end up with larger development rights.. Mr. Larsen said it was determined that the equitable way to view this site was as a part of the entire mixed use development. Member Hulbert said that logic did not seem rational to her. She said the plan had been developed with very specific areas, such as the Southdale Study Plan being developed. Member Hulbert said she thought the plan was presented to the Planning Commission as one large lump sum without discussing the individual areas from the original plan based upon her copies of the minutes. Continuing, Member Hulbert said she had concern about the Planning Commission approval and, whether it was based upon full facts. She added her other concern, was about the Greater Southdale Area Study Plan not including any specific developments. Member Hulbert said a company was hired and directed to use best practices and vision and creatively create a plan. She said the Planning Commission on several occasions requested the study be completed before the Cypress project be heard, but mysteriously the Cypress was inserted into the Southdale study so the Planning Commission believed it was part of the study, therefore, it should be approved. Member Hulbert contended that she felt it was not correct. Mr. Larsen responded that the Southdale.-Study started in August of 2004 and was nearing completion in December of 2005. He said the Cypress proposed was submitted for consideration without regard to the study. -Mr. Larsen said the consultants were. made aware of the proposal, reviewed it, and because they felt it fit into the concept they used it in their draft study. Member Hulbert disagreed with" Mr. Larsen. Mr. Gordon Hughes commented that before Centennial Lakes and Edinborough, no such thing as a mixed development district existed. The City received some development proposals and. attempted to craft some ordinances around the proposals and therefore, Centennial Lakes happened and was approved. He stated it was very difficult to anticipate future development and as planners must react to proposals as they come forward, deciding if they were in the best interest of the city and would there be a way of accommodating the development. Mr. Gordon Hughes said that going back to the allocation of development right, there had been three choices available. First, would be to stay with the overall plan approved in 1989 for a theater and the City would not be interested in anything other . than a theater. Secondly, allow the theater site to stand on its: own without regard to any other property within Centennial Lakes, and view it on the zoning standards coming from the mixed development district, which would bring forward a much denser development. Mr. Gordon Hughes Page 10 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 said issue could also arise in the Southdale area, since Southdale has more than one owner yet it must evaluated all together to determine what will be best for the area. He said the third option would be looking at the AMC site through overall context of the plan for Centennial Lakes. Staff felt the only thing that made sense was to review the unused development potential and determine a fair way they could be allocated among the different properties. Mr. Gordon Hughes said that was not saying that eighteen stories was appropriate or a certain use was appropriate but somehow had to balance some fairness among the different property owners. He added that at one time the area was all under a single ownership, whereas, now there was theater owner, medical office, retail owners, and residential owners. Mayor Hovland said he believed staff approached the issue in an equitable way. He asked for staff to comment on the precedence potential of a decision granting the application as proposed in the Mixed Development District 6 for the greater Southdale Area. Mr. Larsen said the way to distinguish it would be that the proposed development fit under the rules currently in existence whereas, what the City was considering in some other area would require some changes to the City's ordinance. Mayor Hovland asked if the City would be protected from a corridor of towers as he believed was currently feared. Mr. Gordon Hughes said whatever decision was reached, the City must be fair, and added that the 22 story Edina Towers was approved in the late 1960's and 37 years later there was not a corridor filled with 22 story towers. He suggested that he did not believe every property would come forward requesting a tower, but that the Council should expect to receive some additional requests. Council Discussion/ Action Member Masica made a motion to close the public hearing. Member Hulbert seconded the motion. Ayes: Housh, Hulbert, Masica, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Member Swenson called upon her ten years on the Planning Commission helping her achieve a comfort level when reviewing plans. In so doing, she said, she envisioned what else could go on the subject site based on the Centennial Lakes Plan. She pointed out there existed a fair amount of development that had its "back" to the lake. She said she was relieved that a housing plan came in, and not a hotel, adding that Edina needs to continue offering additional housing choices to people. Member Swenson said she supported height over massing believing by running the height east west that was better than a lower building blocks more views. Member Swenson added the parking had been contained on site and most of it was underground and divided into the three areas. She added she felt the proposal was still very welcoming and open to the park. Member Swenson said she would ask the proponent to put an additional floor of parking underground the condo tower with only two above ground reducing the building to 17 stories above ground. Member Housh agreed with Member Swenson's comments. He added proposals such as was before the Council were difficult decisions. Member Housh said he did not think the condos or the retail space would put undue pressure on the park. He said when he first saw the proposal he thought it was big, but after reviewing the proposal he felt it would be an asset to the area and did not want to reconfigure the tower because that would cause more of an impact. Member Housh said he liked the idea of restaurants and the ability to walk around the park and stop for a meal. Member Housh acknowledged that height would create change, but pointed out that when Point of France was built it created change, but now it was a city landmark. He added that if the development were done correctly it can be lived with on the site. Member Housh said he felt approving this project would not grant approvals on different sites. He added he also would like to see an additional garage floor below grade. Page 11 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 Member Masica said she found the height of the tower and the traffic issues to be troublesome. Member Masica said if the height of the condo tower could be revised to fourteen stories she felt the project would be viable and scale of the surrounding environment would not be impacted so much. A fourteen story tower would fit in with the surrounding development. Member Masica stated she liked the mixed use aspect, the orientation of the project to the surrounding area, the patio space connected to the restaurants, and the attractive retail space planned for France Avenue. She acknowledged that some development would occur on this site and it was the Council's job to find a project with the least negative impact on the area. Traffic would be an issue, but that was part of a larger problem that this developer could not be expected to solve. Member Hulbert stated she must represent citizens who live in the area. She said people have been telling her that this proposal does not fit what they want for the City. She said this type of tall development would not fit what people would be comfortable with or what they want. Member Hulbert said people should be able to say what they want for their city. She indicated that she was concerned no sign had been place on the property even though technically it was not required it was not straightforward of the City. Member Hulbert said she was also concerned at the lengths the planning department went to promote the project to the Planning Commission to, in her opinion, misrepresenting the proposal. She said that the project was stated as not being against any rules of Edina, when the proposal would require a variance and was not consistent with the Centennial Lakes Plan. She expressed her displeasure with the insertion of the proposal into the Southdale Area Plan and called it intellectually dishonest. She said if the Cypress Project moves forward without finishing the Southdale Area Plan, then the Southdale Area Plan should be disbanded because everything would need to fit around this site. Member Hulbert said the Southdale Area Plan would drive development in the area instead. Her recommendation would be to deny the request at this time, stating the proponent knew the Southdale Area Plan was underway and that their request would not fit the zoning ordinance without a variance. After the Southdale Area Plan has been put into place the proponent would be welcome to reapply and at that time their proposal would be entirely appropriate to the community, but at this time it would be completely backwards to let the development drive the plan. Member Housh stated said that in his review of the Planning Commission minutes he did not come to the same conclusions of Mr. Larsen or Mr. Gordon Hughes misleading the Planning Commission. He added he had an opportunity to watch the Planning Commission rebroadcast and he thought there was an honest and spirited debate covering many of the same issues discussed this evening. So, he said he would like to stand behind the staff that tries to help the Council guide development in Edina, because from his experience, they have not been in it for themselves, they are good solid hard working employees of the City. Member Housh said it concerned him if Member Hulbert was suggesting they were doing something other than that, which he sensed from her comments. Member Hulbert replied that she was not referring to Mr. Gordon Hughes who was not at the meeting. She said she made a list of comments that she felt directed the conversation and scope of the Planning Commission and offered to supply them. Mayor Hovland said that the comment made by Member Hulbert that the staff misrepresented the plan to the Planning Commission was an insult to the skill and knowledge of the Planning Commission and was out of line. He said the Planning Commission knew what they were doing, that they received good information from staff, that they are all smart capable people. Mayor Hovland said the Commission looked at the proposal three times and passed it to the Council with a recommendation that it be approved. He said he agreed with Member Housh and that it was inappropriate to criticize staff suggesting that they were engaging in some misrepresentation to the Planning Commission. Page 12 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 Mayor Hovland said that when he first saw the proposal at 22 stories, he had the same reaction as many people, but added that since that time he had been learning everything he could about height. Mayor Hovland said he has been attending ULI seminars on massing and over time he has come to the conclusion it was not the height of the building as much as it was the interaction of the building with public realm space at the ground level. He said this proposal did a wonderful job of this needed interaction. Mayor Hovland pointed out that all the pedestrian points of entry were extremely important to the future of the area. Pushing the building shorter would jeopardize the public realm space; however, he suggested he could support putting another level of parking below ground. Mayor Hovland said that over time he has gotten used to the height. He acknowledged that traffic was one of Edina's most difficult problems, but it was a regional issue that could not be solved with this particular project. He said he would not want to deny the plan, the key question to answer was whether the proposed use was compatible to the site. Mayor Hovland stated he believed the answer was yes. Member Masica said she would not want to loose the public space, but on the other hand she felt that an 18 story building was not appropriate for the site. Member Masica felt the project would have a negative impact and also serve as a prototype for other buildings. She said she liked the proposed development, but could not support the 18 stories. Member Masica asked the developer if they would consider putting all five stories of parking underground. Mr. Walter Hughes replied that anything was possible, but five stories would be a lot. He added that without a soils report he could not adequately advise Mr. Witzig. Member Swenson asked the Mayor to call the question. Member Masica asked if the developer would consider holding the project over to allow soils to be investigated. Member Swenson noted that they was an issue with holding the approval until January 6, 2006. Attorney Gilligan said the property owner had agreed to waiting for a decision until January 6, 2006, but that the developer had not yet been queried. Mayor Hovland asked the developer to respond. Mr. Witzig stated they would be in agreement to waiting until January 6, 2006, for a decision, and he said they have already done preliminary geo -tech tests on the site, but not down lower than they had proposed, so he said at this point he could not answer whether it was possible at this time. Member Swenson suggested that the proposal be voted on at this time and give the proponent 17 stories to work with, recommending they put three stories of parking below ground. She suggested they take a vote. Member Masica asked to see the feasibility of putting five stories of parking underground. Member Housh suggested the proponent be told 17 stories and if they run into rock and can go lower, and then they build a 17 story building and not drag the process out for another month. Member Swenson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2005-108 APPROVING AMENDMENT TO CENTENNIAL LAKES MASTER PLAN 7311 FRANCE AVENUE BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council hereby approves the Amendment to the Centennial Lakes Master Plan requested by Cypress Equities as presented at the December 12, 2005, City Council meeting with the following conditions: 1.

ADOPTED this 6th day of December, 2005. Motion carried on rollcall vote - five ayes. ORDINANCE NO. 2005 -13 - AMENDING SECTIONS 705 715 AND 1300 STORAGE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF REFUSE AND COMPOSTABLE MATERIAL DENIED Mr. Hughes explained at the November 1, 2005, Council meeting, the Recycling and Solid Waste Commission recommended allowing curbside placement of waste cart containers for yard waste and refuse on collection day. Following Council discussion, a motion was made directing staff to prepare an ordinance amendment allowing residents to place their refuse containers at the curb on collection day, similarly to the way recyclables are handled. The ordinance further provides that containers can be placed at the curb no more than 12 hours before scheduled collection and must be removed from the curb within 12 hours after collection. First Reading of Ordinance No. 2005 -13 was approved at the November 15, 2005, Council Meeting. Mr. Hughes noted from direction received at the November 15, 2005, Council meeting, staff made adjustments to Ordinance No. 2005 -13 including requirements in the City Code licensing section for haulers to offer their customers the option of collecting refuse containers placed for collection at locations on the property other than at the curb. Staff recommended adopting Ordinance No. 2005 -13, Amending City Code Sections 705, Storage, Collection and Disposal of Refuse and Compostable Materials; Section 715, Mandatory Separation and Storage of Recyclables; and Section 1300 Collection and Disposal of Refuse and Recyclables, and thereby allow curbside collection of yard waste and refuse on collection day. Public Comment Mike Burg, 4420 Grimes Avenue, stated current City Code required garbage to be picked up at resident's garage. He stated he did not want to see any change to the current code, but rather would like to see it strictly enforced. Howard Miller, 4022 West 44th, stated he did not want the current City Code changed. He said he had contracted with a private hauler since 1984 and was very satisfied with the service received. Mr. Miller said he wants garage side collection of trash continued. Henry Owen, 4312 Oakdale Avenue, stated he was concerned his private hauler would be adversely affected if the City Code were changed to allow curbside pick -up of trash. Mr. Owen stated he wanted the Code to remain as it was at present. Page 15 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 6, 2005 Gurden Carpenter, 4356 Oakdale, suggested the Council wait and not take any action. He suggested the current Code be disseminated to the community and enforcement increased. Dawn Bruggeman, 7017 Lee Valley Circle, stated she also wanted the Code left alone and not changed. She said she wanted her trash picked up at the garage. Larry Stotts, 4205. West 42nd Street, said he did not want the Council to change the ordinance. Mr. Stotts suggested the Council deny the proposed amendment right away. Cauley Mulcahy, 4302 Eton Place, stated he agreed with the previous speakers. He added that if garbage were permitted at the curb, it would be an eyesore. Mr. Mulcahy urged the, Council to keep the garage pick up of trash and suggested that most residents do not know what regulations existed relative to trash pick up. Karen Graff, 4303 Morningside Road, said residents should_ be informed before any changes were made. She urged the Council to keep the,current regulations. Tim Healy, 5608 Bernard Place, said he did not want the Code changed to allow curb side pick up of trash. Gary Vierkant, Vierkant Disposal, said that any changes to the current regulations would hurt his business. He urged the Council to leave the Code as it was currently. Member Swenson said she had asked the Recycling Commission to review, the current regulations because of a request from an elderly resident. Roberta Thorpe, 6909 Cornelia Drive, stated she was not in favor of residents bringing trash to the curb for pick up. Joni Kelly Bennett, 4003 Lynn'Avenue, suggested that all trash, recycling and yard waste be picked up at the garage. Council briefly discussed the issue and Member Housh made a motion denying second reading of Ordinance No. 2005 -14, Amending Sections 705, 715, and 1300, Storage, Collection and Disposal of Refuse and °Compostable.

ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Members Housh, Hulbert, Masica, Swenson and Mayor Hovland. TRUTH IN TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING HELD FOR PROPOSED 2006 CITY BUDGET Pursuant to published notice given, the Edina City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposed property tax increase in the 2006 Budget for the City of Edina, as mandated by Chapter 375, Laws of Minnesota 1993. Mayor Hovland stated the purpose of the Truth in Taxation hearing would focus on the proposed 2006 City of Edina Budget. The budget review would relate to the monies' source and how they would be expended on the various functions and services of the City. Residents with questions relating to the valuation placed on their homes should plan to appear at the Board of Review in April of 2006. Manager Hughes noted this was the second step in the budget adoption process. The Council, in September, adopted a maximum levy and later in December will adopt the actual budget and levy. Mr. Hughes reviewed the 2006 proposed expenditures of $27,041,089. He explained this would be an increase of $1,808,793 or approximately 7.17 %. Mr. Hughes noted that $420,205 of the increase was due to the first year's debt service on the bonds issued to finance construction of gymnasiums, adding that without the new debt service, expenditures in the General Fund would increase 5.43 %. Mr. Hughes said the City's tax revenues must increase $1,227,602 or 6.46% from 2005 to support the proposed expenditures. Mr. Hughes noted the increases in the City's expenditures fell into three areas: ■ Personnel costs with a three percent increase in salaries; increases in the City's contribution to PERA of approximately 13% or $110,000; and one new position of a building inspector; ■ Energy costs increased which affects more than just gas and oil used as fuel, but also petroleum based products such as asphalt; Capital Improvement costs with the first year of the gymnasium bond debt service levy of $420,000 Public Comment No one appeared to comment. Member Masica made a motion to close the Truth in Taxation Hearing. Member Swenson seconded the motion. Ayes: Housh, Hulbert, Masica, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Page 1 Minutes Special Meeting /Edina City Council/December 5, 2005 Member Masica asked staff to review the percentage each jurisdiction receives from property tax dollars. Mr. Hughes replied that the City of Edina receives 22% of the property tax bill, with 32% going to local schools, 38% to Hennepin County and 8% to other taxing entities. Member Hulbert asked how each jurisdiction calculates the monies they require for operating their entity. Mr. Hughes explained that statutes guides the way each jurisdiction may tax. Each entity must derive a proposed budget, next they must adopt a "not to be exceeded" levy in early fall which is used to generate the preliminary tax notices, then all jurisdiction hold individual Truth in Taxation hearings to allow citizen input, and finally each entity adopts their final budget which the county uses to prepare property tax statements. Member Housh commented that before 2001 when the state took over 85% of the funding of public schools, the school districts took a much larger share of each property tax dollar generated. Mr. Hughes agreed adding that districts may hold "excess levy" referendums which allow them to raise additional operating revenues for their districts. There being no further business on the Council Agenda, the Mayor adjourned the meeting at 5:30 p.m. City Clerk Page 2 w M REPORURECOMMENDATION , To: Mayor & City Council Agenda Item II.A. From: Mike Siitari, Police Chief ,, Consent ❑ Information Only ❑ Date: December 15, 2005 Mgr. Recommends ❑ To HRA ® To Council ❑ Subject: Public Safety 800 MHz Radio Motion Building Coverage ❑ Resolution o ® Ordinance o ❑ Discussion RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Ordinance #2005 -15, to require new buildings or additions over 25,000 square feet to meet minimum coverage standards for the Public Safety 800 MHz radio system. INFO/BACKGROUND: The City of Edina became a user of the metro area Public Safety 800 MHz radio system in 2004 when we replaced the aging VHF radio system used by the Police and Fire Departments. All or most public safety agencies in Hennepin County will become users of the 800 MHz system in the next few years. An interoperable communications system is one of the top priorities for Homeland Security and`we received grant monies to help make the transition. A reliable radio system is essential for effective response by law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. Radio and other wireless communications systems can be adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including the density and type of construction materials. Several buildings in Edina were identified as problem locations during the feasibility study for the 800 MHz system. The City has spent $180,000 to retrofit Southdale Center and Fairview Southdale Hospital with amplification systems to provide adequate radio coverage. The amplification system in City Hall and the Police Department cost $22,000. In order to ensure reliable operation of the radio system for public safety needs a City Code addition is proposed, which would require building owners to install 0 amplification systems in new buildings over 25,000 square feet in gross floor area or substantial additions to existing" buildings over 25,000 square feet that do not provide adequate radio coverage. The owners of buildings that need an amplification system would be required to have the system tested annually to ensure the components are operating properly. Once every five years the owner would be required to have the system tested to ensure it meets the coverage standards. The annual and five year tests would be submitted to the Fire Chief. The only city in Hennepin County with a similar ordinance is Brooklyn Park. We were one of the initial cities to join the 800Mhz system so we are at the leading edge of this issue. Our proposed ordinance is modeled,after ordinances from other parts of the country that have had an 800 MHz system longer than Minnesota. Although the owners of designated buildings may incur additional expenses to install the amplification systems, the benefit of having adequate radio coverage for public safety response „ appears to justify the cost.. o I EDINA ORDINANCE NO. 2005 -15 An Ordinance Adding New Section 485- Public Safety 800 MHz Radio Building Coverage THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA ORDAINS: Section 1. The following new Section 485 is added to the City Code: 485.01 Adequate Radio Coverage. Except as provided in Subsection 485.02, no person shall construct any building, construct an addition to any building that increases the gross floor area of the building by more than 20 %, change the occupancy classification of more than 50% of the floor area of any building or cause the same to be done to a building, if such building fails to support adequate radio coverage for the Minnesota Regional Radio Communications System, including but not limited to firefighters and police officers. For the purposes of this Section 485, parking garages, parking ramps, stair shafts, elevators and stairwells are included in the definition of building . For purposes of this Section 485, adequate radio coverage shall be an average received field strength of no less than 93 dBm, or 1 % BER, measured at 30 to 36 inches above the floor over 90% of the area of each floor including the basement in the building and other critical areas determined by the Fire Chief or the Fire Chiefs designee such as fire command centers, stairwells, elevators, high hazard areas, basements, and parking garages and ramps. Without an in- building radio system, only the received signal level standard must be achieved, as the talk -out path is equivalent to the talk -in path in this regional radio system. 485.02 Exempt Buildings. The requirements of Subsection 485.01 shall not apply to: A. Any dwelling unit or accessory building in the R -1 District or R -2 District. B. Any building of less than 25,000 square feet in gross floor area. C. Any building constructed of wood frame; provided that such building does not contain any metal construction or any below grade levels or below grade parking areas. 485.03 Amplification Systems Allowed. Buildings required by Subsection 485.01 to support adequate radio coverage which cannot support the required level of radio coverage required by Subsection 485.01 shall be equipped with approved bi- directional 800 MHz signal enhancement system(s) as needed. If amplification is used in the system, all required FCC authorizations must be obtained by the building owner prior to the use of the system. If any part of the installed system or systems contains an electrically powered component, the system shall be capable of operating on an independent battery and /or generator system for a continuous period of at least 12 hours without external power input. The battery system shall automatically charge in the presence of an external power input. 485.04 Testing Procedures. The following testing procedures shall apply to each building or structure required by Subsection 485.01 to support adequate radio coverage: Subd. 1 Acceptance Test Procedure. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the owner of the building shall arrange for testing conducted by individuals acceptable Ordinance No. 2005 -15 Page Two to the Fire Chief to ensure the building conforms with the requirements of Subsection 485.01. Testing procedures shall conform to practices adopted and on -file with the Building Official. Subd. 2 Annual Tests. When an in- building radio system is required to support the required level of radio coverage, the owner of the building shall arrange for testing conducted by individuals acceptable to the Fire Chief of all active components of the system, including but not limited to amplifiers, power supplies and backup batteries, a minimum of once every 12 months. Amplifiers shall be tested to ensure that the gain is the same as it was upon initial .installation and acceptance. Backup batteries and power supplies shall be tested under load for a period of one hour to verify that they will properly operate during an actual power outage. If within the one- hour test period, in the opinion of the testing technician, the battery, exhibits symptoms of failure, the test shall be extended for additional one -hour periods until -the testing technician confirms the integrity of the battery. All other active components shall be checked to determine that they are operating within the manufactu'rer's specifications for the intended purpose. All deficiencies found shall be corrected and testing repeated. All test results shall be submitted to the Fire Chief within 30 days of the test date. Subd. 3 Five -Year Tests. When an in- building radio system is required to support the required level of radio coverage, then in addition to the annual test, the building owner shall arrange for testing conducted by individuals acceptable to the Fire Chief to perform a radio coverage test a minimum of-once every five years to ensure that the radio system continues to meet the requirements of the original acceptance test. A radio test shall also be performed whenever there is a change in or to the building that may have an impact on coverage. Examples of the types of changes that may change radio coverage are. interior remodeling that adds and /or changes partitions, removal of windows, and the addition f metalized treatment to window surfaces. The procedure described by practices adopted by the City shall be used for these tests. All test results shall be submitted to the Fire Chief within 30 days of the test date. Subd. 4 Field Testing. Fire and police personnel, after providing reasonable notice to the owner or, the owner's representative, shall have the right to enter onto the property to conduct testing to be certain that the required level of radio coverage is present.

Recommends ❑ To HRA ® To Council Subject: Election Equipment Lease Agreement with Hennepin Action ® Motion County ® Resolution ❑ Ordinance ❑ Discussion Recommendation: Motion adopting a resolution approving the lease agreement for election equipment with Hennepin County (Agreement No. A052236). Info /Background: The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) passed by Congress requires the State of Minnesota to implement assistive voting technology (AVT) in 2006 to be in compliance with HAVA. The State of Minnesota has been allocated $35 million for this purpose. State legislation requires each county to approve a HAVA Plan as to allocation and responsibilities of the local jurisdictions. The City of Edina was represented by City Clerk Debra Mangen on the Hennepin County Task Force that drafted the County HAVA Plan. The Hennepin County Board approved the County HAVA Plan on November 15, 2005. Hennepin County will provide the AVT equipment to cities for each precinct, one for city hall absentee voting, and several reserve backup units. The AUTOMARK Voter Assist Terminals from Election Systems & Software has been certified by the Secretary of State's Office as equipment that meets the requirements of HAVA. The AUTOMARK Terminals will allow the visually impaired to hear ballot choices through headphones or see them in enlarged type on a video screen. Selections can be made by touching the screen, operating a keypad or, for a severely disabled person, sipping or puffing on an air tube. Polling places will still utilize the existing optical scan voting equipment but will be required to have assistive voting terminals available for the scheduled elections in 2006. Election Equipment Staff Report December 20, 2005 Page Two Hennepin County will purchase the AUTOMARK Terminals with their allocation of the federal money and cities will lease the equipment. The lease payment will cover the cost of the annual maintenance contract for each piece of equipment. The lease terms are similar to the current lease for the City's optical scan voting equipment that was approved by the City Council in 1999. The new equipment will be under warranty in 2006, therefore the first lease payment from the City will be due `in 2007. The 2007 budget will reflect the estimated lease cost of $7,130 for the 23 AUTOMARK terminals assigned to the City. Additional annual costs associated with the mandated HAVA compliant equipment include programming, testing, warehouse storage, and transportation and will be budgeted for beginning in 2007. The County has proposed replacing the current lease cities have for the optical scan voting equipment with a new lease incorporating both the existing optical scan voting equipment and the new AUTOMARK equipment. Staff recommends approval of the lease agreement to assure compliance with HAVA.

Info /Background: The attached resolution approves the General Fund budget and the tax capacity debt levies all as previously discussed. The 20 years of referendum levy were set in 1996 when the GO Park and Recreation Bonds Series 1996B were issued and all levies were set by law at 105% of the corresponding annual debt service payments. The debt service fund is now sufficient to cover any foreseeable tax shortages and I would recommend canceling the portion of the 2006 levy in excess of the annual debt service payment. Future referendum levies remain at the 105% level and would require canceling a portion of the levy on an annual basis depending on the amount needed to maintain a sufficient debt service fund. 4,,r� o e m RESOLUTION NO. 2005-109 RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE BUDGET FOR, ay of Edj11a THE CITY OF EDINA FOR THE YEAR 2006, AND ESTABLISHING TAX LEVY FOR YEAR 2006, PAYABLE IN 2006 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA MINNESOTA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The Budget for,the City of Edina for the calendar year, 20061is hereby adopted as after this set forth, and funds are hereby appropriated therefore: GENERAL FUND GENERAL GOVERNMENT Mayor and Council $ 66,706 Administration 1,011;533 Planning 403,713.

I left early but I understand that the variance was enacted. Since almost all of the witnesses spoke against the variance, your action surprised me. I had assumed that the Council meeting represented local government at its best, paying attention to the citizenry. Apparently I was mistaken. The result suggests that the decision was a fait accompli, with the action taken predetermined and that the hearing was a show. All the opposition wanted was to reduce the height of the proposed hotel.. The proposal would serve only to create an unsightly view from the wonderful Centennial Lakes Park. Why would you permit such a proposal? Is Edina's fiscal structure so precarious that additional tax revenues are required. Do not Coventry residents have any say in the matter or are you in the palms of developers. I am indeed very disappointed. I think you owe Coventry some sort of explanation.

Not only would it not fit in with the current height of adjacent buildings, but the traffic will only increase the congestion on France Avenue, 7e Street, 7rd Street, Cornelia Drive, and the cut through traffic through our neighborhoods that are directly west of this area. I strongly oppose this planning decision. I realize this is about increasing tax revenues, but I would be happy to have my property taxes increase to alleviate the situation that will only bring more congestion to our neighborhood, endanger the lives of our children, and reduce the value of our homes. Please consider this project and all others with great care and concern for the citizens of the Edina Cornelia neighborhood.

The committee was charged with looking at the current use of renewable energy within Edina with the scope to include the cost of clean renewable energy (including implementation and maintenance costs) to power city buildings, schools, park facilities, business and homes compared to the cost of energy sources currently used. Renewable energy is energy that can never be used up either because its source is infinite or is constantly renewing. This study highlights six renewable energy forms: solar, hydro, wind, biomass, hydrogen fuel cells, and ground source heat. Many sources used in this study cite the importance of both energy conservation and environmentally friendly or "green" technology. As important as these topics are, the study was not expanded to include these topics, and thus, comments only briefly on these subjects. Lastly, this document contains energy related terms that may be unfamiliar. Refer to Appendix A for definitions. This study was prepared for member consensus in April 2005. Committee members were Paulette Hastings, Suzanne Kerwin, Germana Paterlini and Julie Risser. Related League Positions Since the 1970s, conservation has been the crux of the national League's energy agenda. Nationally, two positions relate to energy: Resource Management and Environmental Protection and Pollution Control. These positions and their energy related history are reprinted in Appendix B. There are no local or state energy, positions at this time. Basic Utilities Information Sixty -eight percent of Minnesota electricity is provided by five investor -owned utilities (including Xcel Energy). Municipal. utilities and cooperatives provide 14% and 18% electricity, respectively.' Coal is the main fuel type used to generate electricity for Minnesota (see Table 1). Table 1. Fuel Types Used to Generate Electricity in Minnesota Coal Type Location Nucle Allen S. King Coal H dro "Fuel 529 MW Black Dog Wind Burnsville 100 MW Refus H dro -Minneapolis Wood 1 Coal Source: 2001 Energy Planning Report, MN Dept. of Commerce All of the coal used in Minnesota is hauled in by rail, mainly from Wyoming and Montana. Electricity from nuclear energy is generated at the Prairie Island and Monticello power plants. Minnesota purchases most of its hydro - generated power from Manitoba Hydro in Manitoba, Canada. The remaining 3% of power is obtained from renewable sources such as solar, wind, wood and refuse - derived fuels. Most of the electricity consumed in the Twin Cities metro area, including Edina, is generated by power plants located within a 30 miles radius (see Table 2). Edina receives electricity from Xcel Energy, the largest electric utility in Minnesota. Table 2. Xcel -owned power plants in the metro area Power Plant Type Location Capacity Allen S.

During the 1990s, US demand for electricity increased about 35% while the grid's capacity to transmit power increased only 18 %.2 These continuing demands will require the -,onstruction of new power plants as well as mprovement and expansion of the transmission grid. The Mid - Continent Area Power Pool, an organization created to ensure reliability of the grid system anticipates this need by the year 2012. In Minnesota's main projected grid expansion is a proposal by Xcel Energy transmission to build power lines to transport wind - generated electricity from the Buffalo Ridge in Southwest Minnesota to the metro area.' Xcel Energy asked permission from state regulators to produce another 3100 megawatts of electricity through 2019. Xcel indicated in a resource plan, filed_ November 1, 2004 with state regulators, that it still likes the economics of coal. Xcel did not endorse coal as its preferred fuel source and continues to explore a wide range of options including additional wind turbines, natural gas "peaking plants" and a gasified - coal plant in northern Minnesota.3 Regulators will vote on this plan within the coming year. President George W. Bush called nuclear energy "safe" and "clean" in his February 2, 2005, State of the Union Address. New technology has made nuclear fission safer, cheaper and easier to manage, but risks remain.' No nuclear power plants have been issued permits since 1973, but a Nuclear Energy Task Force made recommendations in February 2005 that include support and funding of up to $1 billion for 4 new nuclear reactors in the U.S.5 The Power of'the PUCE Y The Public Uttlrt�es Commission, UC is char ed with regulatog certain eleetnc natural g gas and telephone industries m 1Vlmnesota to ensure that these servaces are. afe, adequate and reliable at`fair, reasonalile ratesThe Commission may hold':hear>ngs, conduct m yest><gations, make rotes and issue orders regarc uig utality and pone services .:The Buttes of the PCTC include setting,µ electrical rates, granting Certificates<of Need,forp ©wer;- plants grid transmission 1meS; approving financial uicenttves for energy consefV406p andp approvmg'plans for largeelectrc uti Ltiles, mcludmg tote consideration of; environmental effects of energy use <� k ' The PUC consists of fie eo p lea ppamted by the p K y governor to serve six year, staggered;:terms >it is designed to have a grist deal of decision making 4 A K autonomy and >IS subJecf to Open Meeting Iav►F (M S 471.705).

FutureGen aims to create the world's first zero- emissions hydrogen and electricity producing coal -based power plant.$ FutureGen is based on integrated gasification combined -cycle technology (IGCC), which is a Page 3 of 26 developing technology. These plants anticipate high efficiency and low emissions, but cannot at this time guarantee the capture of all carbon dioxide or mercury emissions.7 However, IGCC -based power plants cost about 20% more to build than conventional plants, and energy companies have been unwilling to take a chance on this new technology. Currently, the US has two pilot plants in Florida and Indiana, which have been subsidized by Department of Energy grants. Basic Energy Information Fossil Fuels are Finite Resources Fossil fuels are natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. Fossils fuels permeate every aspect of modern life, from heating and powering plants and cars to use in plastics and chemicals. However, fossil fuels are a finite resource that will run out and cannot be replaced. Global crude oil and natural gas are predicted to run out in the next 40 and 60 years, respectively, while US coal reserves.are predicted to last 250 years. Profound changes in lifestyle as well in the products used everyday will occur when crude oil becomes scarce.10 Emissions & Environmental Impact The burning of fossil fuels releases various gases, particulates and dangerous trace elements that contaminate air and water sources. For emission levels from fuels used by Xcel Energy, see Appendix C.11 • Carbon dioxide (COZ) is the primary gas emission of coal, oil and natural gas burning (80 %), and is linked to global climate change. • Sulfur oxide (SOZ) and nitrogen oxides (NO,,) both contribute to acid rain. NO, also contributes to smog. • Particulate matter (soot) contributes to asthma attacks and other respiratory illnesses. • Mercury accumulates in some fish to levels exceeding current health department guidelines. As emission levels have increased, the environment has been unable to absorb them, resulting in greater atmospheric concentrations of these gases. Nuclear energy does not produce these air emissions, but does produce both high- and low -level nuclear waste. One of the most dangerous by- products is plutonium, which has been linked to cancer. 12 SUCCESS STORY: Winesota Emission "Reduction Program The "Metro Einission.Reduction Project (1VIERP) resulted from the need fora new emissions permit at an .

The Kyoto Protocol, with a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2012, has been signed by over 130 countries and went into force on February 16, 2005. This cap and trade program is the selling and trading of emissions permits, e.g., if a country reduces emissions beyond the required 5% level, it can "sell" the excess reduction to a country that has not met the 5% reduction level. The United States is not a signer. Separate from the Kyoto Protocol, companies such as DuPont, Ford Motor, American Electric Power (AEP), International Paper and Motorola established the "Chicago Climate Exchange" to gain experience in Page 4 of 26 buying and selling emission permits and in reducing their own emissions." President's Bush proposed "Clear Skies" program is a cap-and -trade program for reducing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury emissions at coal -fired power plants. Critics argue that it would impose less stringent emission limits than currently established under the current Clean Air Act.lB On March 9, 2005, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee was deadlocked and thus voted against Bush's Clear Skies proposal. 19 The Economics of Energy If the utility cost of various energy forms were ranked, it would show coal as the cheapest energy form, followed by nuclear, wind, hydro, biomass, refuse - derived fuel, natural gas, and most costly, oil." However, it is difficult to quantify the total cost of energy because of unaccounted costs related to environmental and health issues. One example related to health is that the federal government has paid out $35 billion over the past 30 years to cover the medical expenses of coal miners who suffer from black lung disease. A Science magazine article reported that coal -feed electricity would cost 50- 100% more if these and other costs were taken into account.20 Nuclear power and oil also have unaccounted costs. The potential cost of damages that might result from an accident at a nuclear power plant are too large for the insurance industry to cover, so the federal government has pledged to act as "insurer of last resort" above a certain level of cost. The cost of oil does not reflect expenditures related to oil spill clean- up or maintaining open shipping lanes21 Appendix D is a cost comparison for some energy technologies. Security Issues The North American electricity grid is a network of interconnected power plants and transmission lines. The electricity blackout on August 14, 2003, demonstrated the system's vulnerability when a few unrelated power line failures in Ohio escalated into the largest blackout in North American history. During this blackout, 50 million people were without power and the cost to businesses was $6 billion to, "10 billion. These types of failures also impact .eating and cooling systems, food storage, sanitation, and other utilities, especially if they continue. for extended periods of time. Reliance on large power plants and transmission lines also makes us vulnerable to blackouts from terrorist attacks and other security threats. The United States has nearly 500,000 miles of bulk transmission line s.that carry high voltage electricity to consumers. It would be nearly impossible to monitor and protect all of these lines, as well as new lines and power plants, against potential security threats.22 As the demand for electricity grows, consideration must be given to the idea that there is greater security with local generation and local control of energy production. Renewable. Energy Programs State and National Programs At of the end of 2003, 15 states had programs to encourage the development of renewable energy for electricity generation. Of the 17 programs (Minnesota and Wisconsin have multiple programs), 9 are renewable portfolio standards (RPS), 4 are renewable energy man dates, and 4 are voluntary renewable energy goals. Mandates require the construction of set amounts of new renewable capacity using specified technologies while RPS require that a specified share of electricity generation or sales come from qualifying renewable technologies. As of the end of 2003, 86 % of new renewable energy capacity constructed in the 15 states was a result of mandates, and the vast majority (93 %) of the new capacity consisted of wind power installations. Nearly 51 % of all the new capacity was installed in Texas.23 At the federal level, the current budget funds Research & Development (R &D) of renewable energy sources, allocating $80 million per year to solar energy and $40 million for wind. By comparison, R &D funding for nuclear energy and "clean coal" are $100 and $447 million, respectively.24 Minnesota Programs Minnesota instituted a voluntary "Renewable Energy Objective" to encourage, but not require, new renewable energy capacity. In Minnesota, utilities other than Xcel, including municipals and cooperatives, are subject to the 2001 Renewable Energy Objective (amended in 2003), which requires a good faith effort to increase renewable energy's contribution from I% of sales in 2005 to 10% by 2015. By law, the objective is considered to be a mandate for Xcel (see below). At least 0.5% should be generated from biomass by 2005 and I% by 2010.25 The objective accommodates basic renewable technology options as well as hydroelectric facilities Page 5 of 26 less than 60 megawatts, hydrogen fuel cells, and municipal solid waste. All utilities are required to develop for the PUC formal plans detailing how they will meet the 10% renewables objective. Xcel Energy Mandates In exchange for storing additional nuclear waste at its Prairie Island plant, Minnesota's 1994 mandate required Xcel Energy (then Northern States Power) to acquire 425 megawatts of wind capacity by December 31, 2003. In 2001,.the Minnesota PUC ordered Xcel to build or contract for an additional 400 MW of wind by December 31, 2006. In May 2003, Minnesota enacted new legislation (BF 9 of 2003) requiring Xcel to build or contract an additional 300 MW of wind by December 31, 2010, raising the total amount of mandated wind power to 1,125 MW. At least 100 MW of the most recent increase must come from small wind resources (2 MW or less). Additionally, in May 2003, Minnesota enacted legislation to extend nuclear waste storage at Xcel . Energy's Prairie Island plant, and to increase the amount Xcel must pay toward the development of renewable - energy sources. As a result, Xcel now must pay $16 million into the Renewable Development Fund (RDF) annually, for as long as the Prairie Island plant is in operation. The 2003 legislation mandates that up to $6 million annually must be allocated to fund renewable - energy production incentives. Of this annual amount, $4.5 million will fund production incentives for wind energy, and approximately $1.5 million will fund production incentives .for eligible on -farm biogas recovery facilities. Xcel was also required to build or contract for 125 MW of electricity generated from biomass resources by December 31, 2002. Although BF 9 of 2003 reduced the amount of biomass energy that Xcel must purchase from 125 MW to 110 MW, this law also required Xcel to enter into a power purchase agreement by January 1, 2004, for 10 -20 MW of biomass energy from a specific project. Mandated wind capacity is being acquired on schedule but biomass acquisitions (25 megawatts through December 31, 2003) have not been accomplished because of difficulties encountered with the technology and financing for new biomass capacity. The 2003 legislation requires a power purchase agreement for 10 to 20 MW of biomass energy, operational by 2005; at no more than $55 per megawatt hour. The Xcel Energy Renewable Development Fund (RDF) Xcel Energy created the Renewable Development Fund (RDF) in May 1999 as an outcome of 1994 Minnesota legislation. The RDF is administered by the Renewable Development Board, which consists of two representatives from Xcel Energy, two representatives from Minnesota's environmental community and one representative from the Native American community. Funds are to be used for the development of renewable energy sources. Preference must be given to development of renewable - energy projects located in Minnesota. In 2001 the Xcel Energy RDF program selected 19 research projects to receive nearly $16 million in funding. Funding was awarded for various projects in three categories: commercial technology, experimental technology, and research and development. In August 2004, 25 proposed renewable - energy_ projects featuring hydroelectric, biomass, wind, solar and biofuel technologies were recommended by. the Renewable Development Board to receive more than $22 million in funding. This sum included $9.9 million for energy - production projects and $12. million for research and development. The new "Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment" at' University of Minnesota receives funding from the RDF for their research. On February 18, 2005, the PUC announced a controversial decision to overrule recommendations by the RDF Board and provide $10 million over 5 years to Excelsior Energy Inc. to fund a coal gasification plant on the Iron Range. Supporters of the decision say that this type of coal plant meets the 2003 legislative requirements of "innovative generation technology utilizing coal as a primary fuel," which means it qualifies for exemption from the standard certification of need, the ability to increase capacity without state review, and the power of eminent domain .16 Critics suggest that it takes substantial funds from renewable energy projects in the future. 7 SOLAR ENERGY How It Works Solar power describes a number of methods of harnessing energy from the sun. The simplest use of solar energy is generation of hot water by collecting incident rays using heat absorbing and insulating materials. Solar energy can be used to generate electricity using photovoltaic cells (PV cells). These cells have semiconductor materials that conduct electricity upon Page 6 of 26 exposure to visible and ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The basic photovoltaic cell typically produces only a small amount of power (1 to 2 watts). To produce more power, cells are interconnected to form modules, which can in turn be connected into arrays to produce yet more power. Because of this modularity, PV systems can be designed to meet any electrical requirement, no matter how large or small. Concentrators are used together with PV cell to increase efficiency by focusing the solar rays onto the PV cells. A concentrator makes use of relatively inexpensive materials such as plastic lenses and metal housings to capture the solar energy shining on a fairly large area and focus that energy onto the smaller solar cell. There are no air emissions in the production of solar energy. Cost Large PV manufacturers, such as Sharp Electronics and BP Solar are working to reduce the cost of PV materials. The cost of PV- generated electricity has dropped eight fold over the past 20 years, mostly because of increased efficiency and better manufacturing productivity and methods. Solar energy costs 10 times more than coal, four times more than natural gas twice as much as nuclear and three times more than wind energy. In Europe and Japan, government incentives have greatly facilitated use and acceptance of solar energy. In 2003, the installation of PV units grew about 40% in these two areas. Japan started its solar program by initially giving 50% rebates of installed costs. More than 168,000 residential PV systems, generating 622 MW were installed under the program. Today if a new house in Japan has a 4 kW PV on the roof, it has zero energy bills. 28 Availability The Iowa Department of Natural Resources publishes a Yellow Book of solar unit retailers in the Midwest.29 The yellow book currently lists 18 _ Minnesota retailers that sell either PV panels or heating systems and also provide installation and consulting services. Minnesota Use and Incentives Minnesota promotes the use of solar energy by providing incentives to individuals and businesses. Solar Minnesota, a program coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Commerce State Energy Office, works to remove market and regulatory barriers to solar investment, identifies local and state incentives and provides educational services. Solar Minnesota is part of the Million Solar Roofs initiative started by the Department of Energy in 1997. The initiative goal is to have 1 million solar energy systems in the U.S. by 2010.30 Solar Minnesota has committed . to the installation of 500 solar systems by 2010. The. program reached 48% of its goal in 2004 with 247 units installed. Of these, 62 are electricity- producing units (i.e. installation of PV panels), 15 units are used to generate hot water and 160 units are used for heating buildings.so NLnnesofii •Solar Reb. -The Minnesota`Sola R of $2,000 per kilowatt ? mce five .covers 20Ito installed, in; lrxces sold back to the utility ..through April 2004;:43 in_rebate fti& ma. accor i `es bate progra provides_ A rgbAte-- stalled,`up to, $8,060 total.: " i% of the total cost of an el ectrigal'production can be - �mpany.

Mechanical energy is most often used in rural areas for pumping water in rural or remote locations. Wind turbines can be used as stand -alone applications or connected to a utility power grid or combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of turbines are usually built on one site to form a wind farm. The largest turbines sit high atop towers, taking advantage of the stronger and less turbulent wind at 100 feet (30 meters) or more above ground. Wind turbines capture the wind's energy with two or three propeller -like blades, which are mounted on a rotor, to generate electricity. A blade acts much like an airplane wing. Page 7 of 26 When the wind blows, a pocket of low- pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade. • The low- pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor to turn. This is called lift. • The force of the lift is much stronger than the wind's force against the.front side of the blade, which is called drag. • The combination of lift and drag causes the rotor to spin like a propeller, and the turning shaft spins a generator to make electricity.31 Most modern wind turbines are able to produce power 95- 98% of the time. 32 No emissions are produced with wind power. Cost The cost of wind - generated energy from a wind farm is based on the size of the wind farm, the average wind speed at the site, and the cost of installing the turbines. Thus,. consumer costs may vary from place to place based on the variations of these three factors. The cost of wind energy has dropped approximately 80% in the past 20 years, due largely to advances in technology and the federally sponsored wind production tax credit (PTC). The PTC for wind energy was included in the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Generally, the credit is a business credit that applies to electricity generated from wind plants and sold to a utility or other electricity supplier. An incentive similar to the PTC is made available to municipal utilities. The incentive is called the Renewable Energy Production Incentive (REPI) and it consists of a direct payment to a public utility installing a wind plant that is equal to the PTC.21 Utility companies throughout the country charge extra for wind- generated electricity. Reasons include recovering the cost of its marketing campaigns if a marketing company is selling the power, and managing the piecemeal sales. Often one turbine's output is sold, then another's, and anothees. Also, the term of the sales to retail customers are short, typically a year or two. This is more expensive and riskier than buying all of the power from a 50- megawatt or 100- megawatt wind farm for 10 years. 21 Availability In 2003, Minnesota wind installations created about 335 megawatts, enough to power 110,000 homes, or 1% of the total electricity in the state. Edina's electricity is provided by Xcel Energy, of which about 2% comes from renewable sources, including wind, hydro and biomass. As of May 1, 2004, Xcel had 829 megawatts of wind energy capacity in service in the US.33 As Xcel Energy customers, Edina residents can support wind generated energy through the Windsource® program, which allows customers to designate part or all of their electricity use be. generated by the wind. Windsource® is sold in 100 kWh blocks, and customers can choose to purchase any number of blocks up to 100% of their electricity usage. In January 2005, blocks cost $2. per month each and are added to the customer's current electricity bill. Minnesota Use and Incentives Xcel Energy Renewable Development Fund and the State of Minnesota have grant and tax incentive programs, respectively, to encourage additional programs. In addition to wind farms in the state, several schools have installed wind turbines to provide energy for their campuses. ReNew Northfield was formed in 2001 with a goal of having all of Northfield's.energy sources be renewable by the 2010's. As a part of this project, Carleton College began its wind system at the urging of students, who wanted 10% of the college's energy consumption to be from green sources. In September 2004, a. $1.8 million wind turbine was dedicated. The school hopes to reduce their energy costs (40% of their energy can be produced by the turbine) or to make money by selling back energy to the utility company. The college expects the turbine to pay for itself in 12 years..Additionally, St. Olaf received a $1.5 million grant for a turbine installation in 2005. It is expected to provide 30% of the campus' energy. 34 Wayzata High School received a $1.1 million grant from the Xcel Renewable Development Fund for a turbine. It will be the first large turbine in the metro area. BIOMASS How It Works Biomass is a large and varied category of renewable energy, loosely defined as direct derivatives from plant and animal products or by- products. Wood waste, farm field residues, animal waste, dedicated crops and sewage sludge are all possible sources of biomass. Biomass energy production can be generally divided into three categories: combustion, digestion, and decay. 35 Biomass Combustion Biomass combustion refers to the burning of the biomass source to produce heat which is used directly, or for producing electricity. An example of biomass Page 8 of 26 combustion is the St. Paul Biomass Cogeneration Plant. The biomass plant burns area wood waste, solving the problem of disposal for several cities including Edina, and generating 25 MW of electricity from biomass. The biomass plant displaces 110,000 tons of coal per year which reduces sulfur dioxide. emissions by 600 tons /year and carbon dioxide emissions by 283,000 tons /year.36 Electricity is generated from a combined heat and power plant next to downtown St. Paul's thermal plant. The biomass plant recovers waste heat and can be up to 80% efficient compared to coal power -plant efficiencies of about 30 %. It also achieves efficiency by providing heat for multiple customers in an urban area. Combustion from biomass produces pollutants similar to burning fossil fuels. Plants take carbon dioxide out of the air as they grow and thus neutralize the effect of releasing the carbon dioxide when burned. Thus, biomass is sometimes considered a carbon- neutral source of energy but carbon dioxide emissions related to production and transportation of the biomass for energy production should not be overlooked.37 Biomass Digestion Biomass can be anaerobically (without air) digested to produce biogas, a combination of methane, carbon dioxide and trace gasses. Biogas can be used for heating, and producing electricity. Environmental benefits of anaerobic digestion are odor reduction, pathogen reduction, green house gas reduction from methane and reduced total oxygen demand of the waste. Concerns include nitrogen and ammonia emissions, digested manure storage and air emissions. Biomass Decay Significant quantities of biogas are emitted from municipal waste landfills. This gas can be used to generate electricity at the landfill site by collecting the gas and burning it to power a gas turbine and produce electricity.. The landfill supplies some of its own power and reduces the demand for energy from traditional sources. A large portion of the potential for landfill gas electric generation in Minnesota has already been realized with existing projects, but a study in association with the Lakefeld.Junction natural gas plant suggested that some landfill gas- based generation still exists in Minnesota. Landfill gas systems are reliable and operating costs are less because the landfill supplies its own gas. "37 SUCCESS, STORY The;Haubenschild Family Farm ti The Haubenschild Family.

Fast growing trees and grasses can limit erosion, improve water quality near streams, and provide wildlife habitat. Fertilizers and pesticides can pollute water and certain farming techniques can cause erosion and runoff. The following criteria have been developed to evaluate sustainable biomass energy production:39 • Impact on water quality. Biomass crop growth should minimize pollution due to erosion, pesticides, nutrients or waste products. • Impact on Soil Quality. Soil quality should not be degraded. • Effect on Wildlife. There should be no detrimental impact on local wildlife in comparison to other land uses. • Effect on Air Quality. Biomass energy production should result in net reductions in air pollutants. • Net Energy Balance. Does it provide more energy than is consumed in making the energy? • Biodiversity. Does the biomass increase the diversity of our nation's genetic crop base? Page 9 of 26 HYDROPOWER How It Works Hydropower (or waterpower) harnesses the energy of moving or falling water. This is usually in the form of hydroelectricity from a dam, but it can be used directly as a mechanical force. The term refers to a number of systems in which flowing water drives a water turbine or waterwheel. ao Cost Hydropower can be far less expensive than fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Areas with abundant hydropower attract industries with low cost electricity. However, increased environmental and social concerns have begun. to outweigh cheap electricity. The Manitoba Hydro project in Canada is a striking example of the negative impact of hydropower on the environment and on the.communities displaced by flooding. The 5,000 MW Manitoba hydro project consists of 12 dams, 14 generating stations,.2 large . reservoirs and more than 12,000 miles of transmission lines. The projects were built starting in the 1960s and through the 1990s when the Churchill River (beginning in Alberta and emptying into Hudson Bay) was diverted backward over 200 miles, drained to 15% of its original flow and forced into the tracks of the Nelson River. This massive project was constructed without any baseline environmental or socioeconomic assessment, and without prior consultation of the indigenous people. 41 Manitoba Hydro has made changes to reduce flooding in new projects. For example, the Wuskwatim project would have resulted in the flooding of 140 square kilometers (krrO of land. After consultation with local communities, a new - generation, "runoff- river" design was chosen to greatly reduce and perhaps virtually eliminate flooding.42 Environmental and societal factors remain a concern as the company is proposing to build another 500 MW of hydro power over the next several decades for export to Minnesota and the US41 Availability Minnesota utilities (mainly Xcel Energy) receive hydropower from Manitoba Hydro. In August 2002, Manitoba Hydro signed a 10 -year agreement with Xcel Energy of Minnesota for the export of 500 MW of electricity from Manitoba to Minnesota, starting in 2005. The agreement builds on the long - standing arrangements with Xcel Energy and is expected to produce $1.7 billion in revenue over the life of the contract.az Xcel Energy also produces 12 MW of power from the Hennepin Island hydro plant. Located in downtown Minneapolis, this 5 -unit hydro plant was built in 1954- 1955. Hennepin Island is also home to a major electric distribution center (Main Street substation) serving downtown Minneapolis.43 GROUND- SOURCE HEAT How It Works Frequently ground- source technology is called geothermal technology, which refers to energy systems that tap into energy contained in rock and fluid heated by radioactive decay. These technologies take advantage of temperatures ranging from 194 -302° F. In areas where these high temperatures are not accessible, ground- source heat pumps are an option. Ground - source heat pumps rely on the fairly constant temperature of the earth. Tubes run horizontally or vertically near a building. They are filled with liquid which is kept cool by the earth during summer months and warm during winter months. According to the Geothermal Resources Council "ground- source heat pumps use the earth or groundwater as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in summer. Using resource temperatures of 4 °C (40 °F) to 38 °C (100 °F) the heat pump, a device which moves heat from one place to another, transfers heat from the soil to the house in winter and from the house to the soil in summer." A standard air -to -air heat pump uses the outside air to both expel and absorb heat. During the winter standard air - to-air pumps may extract heat from outdoor air that is extremely cold, I OT or colder. Similarly during the summer standard air -to -air expels heat into outdoor air 90 °F or hotter. Ground - source heat pumps are much more efficient as they cool or heat temperatures that on average start at 50'F.44 Types of ground- source heat pumps Two kinds of ground- source heat pumps exist: closed - loop systems and open -loop systems. The closed -loop system consists of a long tube that runs to and from a heat pump. The tube typically runs under a home in a looped manner. With the open -loop system the tube takes advantage of a water source beneath the home. A tube runs from the pump to the water source and another tube from the water source back to the pump. A potential problem with the open -loop system is that the heat pump can alter the temperature of the aquifer. Obviously if the system is a small one belonging to a homeowner and it is the only one on the aquifer it will have a negligible impact. But if several homeowners or Page 10 of 26 a huge building use an open system it can have an impact on the environment. According to the US Department of Energy the basic . components of a heat pump are: • the ground loop which is a "system of fluid - filled plastic pipes buried in the shallow ground, or placed in a body of water near the building'; • the heat pump which "removes heat from the fluid in the pipes, concentrates it, and transfers it to the building (for cooling this process is reversed) "; • the air delivery system which uses "conventional ductwork to distribute heated or cooled air throughout the building. 05 Issues to consider The composition and properties of the land will impact heat transfer rates. According to the U.S. Department of Energy "soil with good heat transfer properties require less piping to gather a certain amount of heat than soil with poor heat transfer properties." If there is below surface water itmay be best to use an open system 46 Cost According to the Department of Energy (DOE), a ground- source heat pump costs about $2,500 per ton capacity. The DOE's Federal Energy Management Program estimates homeowners will need a ton of capacity for every 550 square feet in heating- dominated climates, and a ton for every 450 square feet in cool- dominated climates. These figures mean that it would cost roughly $7,500 for a 3 4on unit (one suitable for a house approximately 1500 square feet). In comparison standard heating and cooling systems cost for the same sized home run about $4,000. The DOE clarifies that people wanting to invest in ground- source heat pumps can include the cost in their mortgage. Assuming there are no extraordinary costs in putting in the system the homeowner can experience a positive cash flow from the beginning. The DOE provides the following scenario: "For example say that the extra $3,500 will add $30 per month to each mortgage payment. But the energy cost savings will easily exceed that added mortgage amount over the course of each year. On a retrofit, the GNP's high efficiency typically means much lower utility bills, allowing the investment to be recouped in two to ten years. Availability and Incentives There are few incentives for ground- source heat pumps. Ground- source heat pumps that have the EPA ENERGY STAR label can now be financed with special ENERGY STAR loans from banks and other financial institutions.

The home is 3,400 square feet and with the ground- source heat pump his electricity bills average $44 /month. Page 11 of 26 HYDROGEN FUEL CELL How It Works A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that uses hydrogen and water to create electricity and heat. If pure hydrogen is used in a fuel cell the only by- products of the energy producing reaction are heat and pure water. Cost and Availability Astronauts drink the water generated by fuel cells powering the electrical system aboard the space shuttle." Fuel cells are being currently being developed for,different applications such as supplying electricity and heat for buildings, powering vehicles, and powering portable electronics. Fuel cells are not commercially available and information.on the costs associated with fuel cells is not readily available. Hoped for benefits of fuel cells include reducing air pollution, reliable electricity and heating, on -site energy supply, energy independence, long -term economic advantages, and security. Minnesota Use and Research There is a working example of a _fuel cell at the Eden Prairie Library.52 The fuel cell at the library is a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. It generates 5 kilowatts of electricity, which is enough to power.a typical house but not the library with all of its computers. The source of hydrogen for the library fuel cell is natural gas. The main sources of hydrogen for fuel cells today are fossil fuels such as the natural gas used at the Eden Prairie Library. Integrated gasification combined - cycle technology (IGCC) is a new way to derive hydrogen from carbon -based materials that may be environmentally friendly and is featured in President Bush's "FutureGen" program.' Developing a hydrogen economy is based upon moving away from dependence on fossil fuels to using hydrogen as a primary fuel. Electricity from renewable sources can be used to "crack: water" and produce hydrogen for use in fuel cells. 3Research into renewable sources (biomass, solar, wind) of hydrogen production is taking place at the University of Minnesota. The technology for using hydrogen as a fuel works but we may be decades away from depending on hydrogen for our energy needs.54 Convenient access to hydrogen limits its use as an energy source. Establishing a hydrogen delivery infrastructure will be costly. The current production capacity and distribution system for hydrogen do not come close to the capacity and distribution system for gasoline. Iceland has established a national goal to make the transition to a hydrogen economy by 2030 and will be the launching ground for testing hydrogen - powered vehicles and building a hydrogen - fueling infrastructure.37 CITY OF EDINA Within the City of Edina, the study committee looked for specific examples of renewable energy use and conservation efforts. The findings within the government, school district, area businesses and homeowners are below. Government The new Edina City Hall, which was completed in 2004, was developed using a state funded program called the Energy Design Assistance Program. The goal is to use traditional construction and innovative energy design. Because of a change in the program's minimum space requirement, Edina City Hall was able to use this program. Throughout the City Hall development, the city had a variety of choices related to lighting, heating and cooling, insulation and the like. The choices made by the city had a direct impact on the budget. For example, with the efficiencies selected, the annual cost for heating and cooling city hall is $80- $85,000. If the efficiencies were not included, this cost was estimated to have been $112,000 annually. . Additionally, installation of high efficiency lighting, windows, insulation and more, resulted in CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy rebates totaling $35,000. Overall, the city was pleased with the Energy Design Assistance Program and would consider using it in future projects. At this time, the City of Edina is focused on energy conservation more than on use of renewable energy. The city relies on Xcel and CenterPoint consultants rather than a staff expert in this area. Government interview summaries are in Appendix E. School District 273 Edina School District 273 has focused its energy activities on conservation. A recent referendum has provided funding to update school facilities. According to James (Jay) Willemssen, Business Services Director for the school district, the district works with consultants from both Xcel Energy and CenterPoint, meeting on a bi- monthly basis. Xcel and Page 12 of 26 CenterPoint rebates related to the referendum are estimated to exceed $100,000. Project specifics include new roofs for Countryside, Cornelia, Creek Valley, Valley View and the High School and new windows at Concord, Highlands, Community Center, Valley View, the High School and the Bus Garage. The windows and roofs are estimated to save over 10% in energy costs with a payback of between 15 — 20 years. For the most part these are not total roof and window replacements, just those in need. "With regard to renewable energy use, solar power was never considered due to inefficiencies in colder climates and extremely long payback times." The school indicated that it would keep an eye on the Wayzata turbine situation before making a decision in that direction.ss Business Outside of Southdale using a ground source heat pump, (see page 10) the study committee was unable to identify any Edina business using renewable energy. However, this is deceiving as there may be businesses enrolled in Windsource®, the wind energy program of Xcel (see page 8). Xcel does not differentiate between business and homeowner customers, so this could not be determined. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has begun addressing emissions issues through design, and four Edina businesses are noted as members on their website. In 2004 the AIA Minnesota Board and Government Affairs Committee adopted a statement that AIA commits to advocate for design practices and government policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 56 The Minnesota AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) is currently working with the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota and the State Department of Commerce to draft the "State of Minnesota Sustainable Building Design Guidelines ". The new standards will be used in all new state buildings. 17 .Homeowners Two Edina homeowners were identified who have solar panels for water heating. While one specifically built her home to accommodate solar heating and has had great success for more than 20 years, the other had problems arise three years after installation elated to cold weather durability and equipment ,upplier exited the market. Regarding wind energy use, 250 Edina customers have enrolled in the Xcel Windsource® program. Throughout the state more than 8,200 customers have required the installation of 10 new wind turbines in Minnesota (9.5 kW).58 All homeowners can reduce energy consumption by increasing the efficiency of their home. In an interview with Xcel Renewable Energy representative Andy Sulkko, he noted that an average Minnesota home uses 800 kW /month. A very efficient home in Minnesota uses 600 kW /month. When asked about the cause of increased energy demands, he responded that while the factors are many, two are most significant: the increased use of electricity consuming appliances and technology in the home and a trend toward larger homes. Today's homes have many energy consuming appliances, such as big screen televisions and computers. All of these add up to more average energy use per home. Larger homes typically use more energy for lighting, heating, and cooling than smaller ones. ENERGY POSSIBILITIES Renewable Energy Standards Legislation will be introduced at the Minnesota Capital in the 2005 session for a Renewable Energy Standard. A standard would require that a growing percentage of power generation must come from new, renewable energy sources. An example of a Renewable Energy Standard would be to require 20% of energy to come from new, renewable sources by 2020. The bill's sponsors cite harmful health and environmental effects and loss of economic investment opportunities from current energy production sources.di Individual cities can adopt standards for their own communities. The Minneapolis City Council has committed to establish goals to address climate change and use more renewable forms of energy. The Mayor and City Council appointed a working group to recommend a renewable energy target and steps for - implementation. In a report submitted on February 18, 2005, the group set a target for the amount of the city's electrical power to come from renewable energy by 2025 at 50 %. Recommended steps for implementation include aggressive conservation, consideration of a publicly owned utility in the city that is focused on energy conservation and developing renewable energy systems, and the purchase of green energy tags.59 As of March 1, 2005, this recommendation has not been adopted by the Minneapolis City Council. Other actions a city can take to increase renewable energy use and education include: Page 13 of 26 • During negotiations with the energy provider, include a percentage of renewable energy use in the contract. • Establish a city commission on energy use. Join Cities for Climate Protection (CCP), a campaign promoted by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. The CCP offers resources to local governments that pledge to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants to improve community livability. Five hundred local governments worldwide are. participating the Campaign, representing.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions 60 The US has 150 participants, including the cities of Duluth, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. 61 Sign statements in support of reduced emissions, increased renewable energy sources, and energy conservation. One example is the Mayor's Statement on Global Warming 2003: (see Appendix F). • Take advantage of rebates, incentives and tax credits available to communities. One resource to identify these opportunities is www.dsire.org. Conservation Technology'and processes have been developed that use less energy to provide the same levels of service. Examples include compact florescent light bulbs, super - efficient appliances, variable speed motors, and ultra - efficient heating and cooling systems. 62 Conservation and use of energy efficient products by all entities (city, school, business and residents) will reduce overall consumption. It is estimated that every. $1 spent on energy efficiency programs produces $3.50 in benefits. s In a June 15, 2004, Xcel Energy News Release, it was announced that 298,000 customers had enrolled in energy savings programs. The Energy Savers Switch and Electric Reduction Savings programs could help reduce electricity demand by 900 megawatts on hot, humid days in the summer, more than the combined capacity of the Allen S. King and Riverside coal plants. Xcel also offers a conservation program for businesses called Peak Control. In this program, businesses agree to reduce their electrical use by using a generator on hot, humid summer days in return for reduced electrical bills throughout the year. Businesses purchase the generator (usually diesel, but may be natural gas), and can expect a .10 -year payback for this expense. Xcel activates this program an average of 5 -7 days annually, about 6 -8 hours at a time. Because it is weather dependent, there have been summers when the program was not used, and others when there were as many as 17 days of use. In Minnesota, North and South Dakota, 2,300 customers participate in Peak Control. Typical customers are hospitals, schools and businesses with energy reliability issues (such as grocery stores). Xcel was unable to identify specific participants in Edina. This program delays the need for additional base load capacity, i.e., building a new power plant. ENERGY STAR is a government- funded program run through the Environmental Protection Agency and is available to homeowners and businesses. Established in 1992 for energy - efficient computers, ENERGY STAR has grown to encompass more than 35 product categories for the home and workplace, new homes, and superior energy management within organizations: ENERGY STAR products are labeled for identification and include product categories of office equipment, home electronics, heating and cooling appliances, home appliances, lighting and windows. 64 Buildings can be awarded an ENERGY STAR rating. One example is the Green Institute in Minneapolis, which received the award in 2000 for saving 45% more energy as other buildings of comparable size. There are no designated buildings in Edina In 2002, with the help of the ENERGY STAR program, Americans prevented greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 14 million vehicles and avoided. using the power that 50 300 - megawatt (MW) power plants would have produced, while saving more than $7 billion. Renewable. Products Plastic packaging materials find a myriad of uses, from preserving food to protecting and transporting consumer goods. Petroleum- derived polyolefins account for more than half of total plastics consumption in the developed world. Polyolefins are extremely versatile because they possess a successful combination of properties such as flexibility, strength, lightness, stability and impermeability. Replacing plastics with biodegradable materials derived from renewable sources can both decrease dependence on petroleum and reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfills. The challenge is to find alternative materials that have the same desirable characteristics as those of petroleum -based plastics. Examples on non - petroleum or environmentally friendly products abound. Examples are: Page 14 of 26 "Plastic" from Corn: Corn is a promising renewable agricultural product for producing packaging materials. Using a fermentation process, it can be transformed into plastic -like materials. Minnetonka based NatureWorks LLC, a Cargill subsidiary has developed a process develop poly - lactic acid, or PLA, from corn. NatureWorksTm PLA and Ingeo Fabrics are the first commercially viable biopolymer derived from an annually renewable resource. Packaging made from NatureWorks PLA is 100 % nature -based and can degrade in compost facilities. PLA -made cups were used at the 2002 Winter Olympics and the 2004 Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Their packing products are been used in over 1,500 grocery stores and Ingeo fabrics can be found at stores such as Marshall Fields, Bed Bath & Beyond and Neiman Marcus.65 Green Roofing: Living rooftops are an option for buildings with flat roofs. The Edgewater is a 28 -unit upscale condominium on Lake Cahoun to open in 2006 featuring a full green -roof system and a ground level rain garden to manage runoff. The green -roof system is a vegetation- covered rooftop that filters storm water runoff and makes the building more energy effcient.66 A green roof of sedum plants was a part of the renovation of the Ford plant in Dearborn, MI. Covering 10.4 acres, this flat roof is expected to last twice as long as conventional flat roofs, and is entirely recyclable.67 Conclusion Every energy source has a cost -- environmental, economic, aesthetic — along with varying levels of reliability and security. As energy demands continue to increase, Edina community members should keep in mind: • Fossil fuels are finite, with reserves of crude oil and natural gas estimated to last 40 and 60 years, respectively. • Air and water emissions plus nuclear waste are by- products of the most commonly used energy sources, and these by- products have adverse effects on human health as well as the environment. • There is an economic impact of paying to import fossil and nuclear fuels versus developing locally owned energy supplies.68 • There are security vulnerabilities within the transmission grid. Huge amounts of energy are used every day. There are steps that individuals, businesses and government institutions can take to reduce the energy use. Technological improvements allow the same service to be done using less energy. Conservation efforts are equally important.. Xcel Energy estimated in a 2003 brochure that conservation improvement programs in their northern region saved the electrical equivalent of two medium -sized power plants. There is an exciting trend toward use of renewable energies. The opportunities to use local energy sources that bring economic benefit to the community, produce fewer environmental hazards, offer greater security for stable energy supplies, and which are constantly available are encouraging. Municipalities, including Edina,'must know their energy sources and costs, and consider active participation in energy efficiency measures, conservation and non - fossil fuel alternatives. Page 15 of.26 APPENDIX A: Definition of Terms Biomass — Organic waste from agricultural, livestock, and lumber industry products, dead trees, foliage, etc., and is considered a renewable energy source.

Gridco -is sometimes used to identify an independent company responsible for the operation of the grid. Ground Source System— Using the temperature of ground water or earth which is less than 100 ° - F, a . pump moves heat from one place to another, transferring heat from the soil to the house in winter and from the house to the soil in summer. Hydrogen Fuel Cell— The use of pure hydrogen to generate energy with byproducts of heat and water. Integrated Gasification Combined -Cycle Technology (IGCC) — In an IGCC gasifier, carbon- based raw materials like coal react with steam and oxygen at high temperature and pressure producing mostly hydrogen. The fuel leaves the gasifier, is further cleaned and then used in the system to run gas and steam turbines. Most pollutants are removed before combustion and are not created when the fuel is burned. In the case of sulfur, it can be collected in Page 16 of 26 a usable form. IGGC plants have similarities to a chemical plant rather than a power plant. Interconnected System— A system consisting of two or more individual electric systems that have connecting tie lines and whose operations are synchronized. Kilowatt (kW)— This is a measure of demand for power. The rate at which electricity is used during a defined period (usually metered over 15- minute intervals). Utility customers generally are billed on a monthly basis; therefore; the kW demand for a given month would be the 15- minute period in which the most power is consumed. Customers may be charged a fee (demand charge) based on the peak amount of electricity used during the billing cycle. (Residential customers are generally not levied a demand charge.) Kilowatt -hour (kWh)—This is a measure of consumption. It is the amount of electricity that is used over some period of time, typically a one -month period for billing purposes.

Key sections of history as well as the position statements are below. All League statements can be found at: www.lwv.org/elibrary/Pub/impact/. hnpactonlssues2002.pdf Resource Management: History, League work on energy began in the early 1970s; in 1975 the LWVUS adopted a position supporting energy conservation as national policy. In 1976, the LWVUS board approved guidelines to implement the position. Since then, the League has made . conservation the crux of its energy agenda, recognizing that the conservation of energy guarantees major long term benefits — environmental, economic and strategic —to individuals, to the country and to the world. The 1976 League convention authorized a study to "evaluate sources of energy and the government's role in meeting future needs." This study climaxed in 1978 in a broad position on energy policies and sources (including conservation) that is the basis for action on a wide variety of energy issues at all . government levels. The 1979 League council recommended that the LWVUS board review application of the Energy position to nuclear energy. The board subsequently determined that the League would work to minimize reliance on nuclear fission. The League advocates a national energy policy emphasizing increased fuel efficiency standards for automobiles, opposition to oil drilling in environmentally sensitive areas including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and support for government action in the development and use of energy conservation and renewable energy sources." Resource Management: Position Statement Resource management decisions must be based on a thorough assessment of population growth and of current and future needs. The inherent characteristics and carrying capacities of each area's natural resources must be considered in the planning process. Policy makers must take into account the ramifications of their decisions on the nation as a whole as well as on other nations. To assure the future availability of essential resources, government policies must promote stewardship of natural resources. Policies that promote resource conservation are a fundamental part of such stewardship. Resources such as water and soil should be protected. Consumption of nonrenewable resources should be minimized. Beneficiaries should pay the.costs for water, land and energy development projects. Reclamation and reuse of natural resources should be encouraged. The League believes that protection and management of natural resources are responsibilities shared by all . levels of government. The federal government should provide leadership, guidance and financial assistance to encourage regional planning and decision making to enhance local and state capabilities for resource management. The League supports comprehensive long -range planning and believes that wise decision making requires: • Adequate data and a framework within which alternatives may be weighed and intelligent decisions made; • Consideration of environmental, public health, social and economic impacts of proposed plans and actions; • Protection of private property rights commensurate with overall consideration of public health and environmental protection; • Coordination of the federal government's responsibilities and activities; • Resolution of inconsistencies and conflicts in basic policy among governmental agencies at all levels; • Regional, interregional and/or international cooperation when appropriate; • Mechanisms appropriate to each region that will provide coordinated planning and administration among units of government, governmental agencies and the private sector; • Procedures for resolving disputes; • Procedures for mitigation of adverse impacts; • Special responsibility by each level of government for those lands and resources entrusted to them; • Special consideration for th e protection of areas of critical environmental concern, natural hazards, historical importance and aesthetic value; • Special attention to maintaining and improving the environmental quality of urban communities. Environmental Protection & Pollution Control: Nuclear Waste History The League pushed for congressional passage of the Low -Level Waste Policy Act in 1980 and the Nuclear Waste Policy Act in 1982 as means of ensuring a national policy that incorporates adequate environmental safeguards with a strong role for public Page 18 of 26 participation in nuclear -waste repository citing decisions. Leagues across the country have used League positions to support their involvement in the citing of low -level nuclear waste sites, high -level waste sites and nuclear plant citings. The LWVEF has published a wide range of materials, including the acclaimed Nuclear Waste Primer. Following passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1985, the LWVEF sponsored a public policy training program and published The Nuclear Waste Digest. In 1992, the LWVEF signed a five -year cooperative agreement with the Department of Energy (DOE) to publish a third edition of The Nuclear Waste Primer (1993) and to conduct citizen education programs on nuclear waste. In 1995, . the LWVEF launched a second five - year cooperative agreement with DOE to focus educational and citizen involvement efforts on defense waste management issues. In June 1998, the LWVEF held two regional intersite discussions on nuclear material and waste and issued a report to DOE. In 1995, the LWVUS opposed congressional efforts to designate Yucca Mountain, Nevada as a permanent or temporary repository for nuclear waste before studies verified its suitability. In 1997 the LWVUS urged members of Congress to oppose the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1997, which would have mandated an. interim storage site at Yucca Mountain. In 2002, the League lobbied both the House and Senate in opposition to Congressional attempts to support the decision of the Secretary of the Department of Energy to make Yucca Mountain a permanent repository site for nuclear waste. Despite vigorous lobbying by the LWVUS, Congress passed resolutions in support of the Energy Secretary. Environmental Protection & Pollution Control: Position Statement The League supports the preservation of the physical, chemical and biological integrity of the ecosystem and maximum protection of public health and the environment. The League's approach to environmental protection and pollution control is one of problem solving. The interrelationships of air, water and land resources should be recognized in designing environmental safeguards. The League's environmental protection and antipollution goals aim to prevent ecological degradation and to xeduce and control pollutants before they go down the sewer, up the chimney or into the landfill. The League believes that although environmental protection and pollution control are responsibilities shared by all levels of government, it is essential that the federal government provide leadership and technical and financial assistance. The federal government should have the major role in setting standards for environmental protection and pollution control. Other levels of government should have the right to set more stringent standards. Enforcement should be carried out at the lower levels of government, but the federal government should enforce standards if other levels of government do not meet this responsibility. Standards must be enforced in a timely, consistent and equitable manner for all violators in all parts of society, including governmental units, industry, business and individuals. Environmental protection and pollution control, including waste management, should be considered a cost of providing a product or service. Consumers, taxpayers and ratepayers must expect to pay some of the costs. The League supports policies that accelerate pollution control, including federal financial assistance for state and local programs. The League supports: • Regulation of pollution sources by control and penalties; • Inspection and monitoring; • Full disclosure of pollution data; • Incentives to accelerate pollution controls • Vigorous enforcement mechanisms, including sanctions for states and localities that do not comply with federal standards and substantial fines for noncompliance. Further Energy Guidelines and Criteria The League supports: • Energy goals and policies that acknowledge the United States as a responsible member of the world community; • Reduction of energy growth rates; • Use of a variety of energy sources, with emphasis on conserving energy and using energy- efficient technologies; • The environmentally sound use of energy resources, with consideration of the entire cycle of energy production; • Predominant reliance on renewable resources; • Policies that limit reliance on nuclear fission; • Action by appropriate levels of government to encourage the use of renewable resources and energy conservation through funding for research and development, financial incentives, rate - setting policies and mandatory standards; • Mandatory energy - conservation measures, including thermal standards for building efficiency, new appliance standards and standards for new automobiles with no relaxation of auto - emission control requirements; Page 19 of 26 • Policies to reduce energy -demand and minimize the need for new generating capacity through techniques such as marginal cost or peak -load pricing or demand - management programs; • Maintaining deregulation of oil and natural gas prices; • Assistance for low- income individuals when energy policies bear unduly on the poor.

Comparison of Costs for Selected Energy Technologies There are a wide range of cost estimates for various energy technologies, and the following table represents just one estimate. Please keep in mind the following when reviewing this table: • The cost figures here are by no means defmitive, but rather provide a rough estimate of costs across technologies. See also: Renewable Energy Technology Characterizations, EPRUUS DOE, 1997. {wWw.eere.energy.gov /power /techchar.html) • The costs estimates below are for new plants — generating costs of existing plants may be substantially lower (especially for coal and nuclear) • The costs also do not include operating subsidies, which may also lower the generating costs (e.g., wind energy is eligible to receive a 1.8 cent/kWh tax incentive, which is not included in the estimates here). It also does not include R & I subsidies, which would increase the real cost of some of the technologies - for example, from 1947 to 1999, the nuclear industry received about $145 billion in federal subsidies, or about 1.2 cents/kWh cumulative over that time period, which are not reflected in the costs reported here. • The costs also do not include "externality costs," or health and environmental costs, which in the case of the non - renewable technologies can significantly increase total generation costs. For example, studies have calculated the health and environmental impacts of some existing coal plants to be over 2 cents/kWh.

City representatives included City Manager Gordon Hughes, Parks and Recreation Director John Keprios, City Engineer Wayne Houle, Public Works Coordinator Steve Johnson, Park Maintenance Superintendent Vince Cockriel. A summary of responses is below. 1. What, if any, renewable energy is used by the City of Edina. How are these projects working? What is their cost impact? Biomass: The St. Paul wood burning plant looks to cities for their wood excess. However, cities must stock pile the wood until it is needed in St. Paul. Edina doesn't have space for long -term stock piling, so are in the process of finding a contractor to haul and store Edina's wood as well as compost materials (from fall and spring street cleaning). All three vendors bring wood to the biomass plant. Vehicles: No renewables used at this time. Larger vehicles are cost prohibitive, but my have hybrid options in the future. 2. Do you have someone on staff or as a consultant who is familiar with implementing renewable energy opportunities? No. They use Xcel and CenterPoint as their consultants on related issues. Also, for electrical. questions. 3. Are you aware of incentives or obstacles to increasing the use of renewable energies by the city? They are always happy to learn of incentives available: Xcel provides grants for field light and LED traffic lights with increased efficiencies, (conservation, not renewable energy use). 4. Are renewable energy issues considered for new construction in the city? Solar: Zoning laws require that roofs have solar access. This means have access to the sun, not that they have to use it. Geothermal: Building codes allow for the underground portion of a building to go beyond the easements. This code was put on the books when earth homes were popular (1970s). S. Is there a future expectation built into city plans with regard to use of renewable energy? - No. Conservation only. - Park Shelter Buildings: considering solar & temperature control by pushing liquid into the ground for cooling, then bringing it back up into the shelter. Mainly price driven. - Solar panel powered lighting of hard -to -see stop signs and speed signs may be coming. They have a solar pack on the back of the sign. Are batteries required for solar packs bad for the environment? 6 What conservation efforts are in effect by the city? - Lighting Efforts: Roof "holes" at Braemar station (hole 15/16) to reduce need for-lights being on. Motion detectors in comfort stations - lights on only when needed. High efficiency LED traffic lights. High efficiency metal halide hockey and field lights, up to IOx more efficient (change as needed). Natural light incorporated in City Hall to reduce need for lights and improve working conditions. - To reduce vehicle /gas usage, keyless entry systems installed in the park comfort stations. Allow them to be locked and'unlocked remotely (will be in 11 stations next summer). Public work stations (sanitation, wells, water treatment buildings, water towers) will be handled remotely as well. About % this SCADA system is complete. Previously had 2 people and trucks making daily rounds to these locations. Heat Recapturing: At City Hall and Fire Training Building - Water: Watering bans in place from April — Sept. 15, higher rates for higher water use in all buildings in the city. High efficiency (less water use) toilets. Improved citywide inspections for pipes, sump pumps, etc. to reduce infiltration needs. Also, changed manhole covers to have fewer holes (to keep rain/clear water out so don't have to pump, it through the system). - Buildings: New windows installed at Arrieson's, Grange Hall, Old Cahill School. Furnaces well maintained, replaced when needed with high efficiency furnaces. Furnaces timed for increased heat during day hours only. - More efficient big trucks & sanders focus salt and sand in the drive lane, reducing the volume used. This reduces need to resod boulevards, resand, dredge ponds, etc. 7. What is the budget for energy by the city? Is there a long -range number for 5 or 10 years? Will have to get back to us. 8. Is the city interested in receiving public input on this topic from a community board? Yes. Ideas welcome! Interview #2: A second interview regarding the design of the new Edina City Hall was provided by Page 22 of 26 Assistant City Manager Eric Anderson. It was followed by a tour of the facility. A summary of the interview is below. Eric Anderson was the city's point person to coordinate the design and construction of the new Edina City Hall. Throughout the process he worked closely with the architects, construction and mechanical contractors, engineers and the Weidt Group, an energy consultant. The facility was designed using the Energy Design Assistance Program. Shortly before work began on city hall, the Energy Design Assistance Program. dropped the minimum square footage requirement to 50,000 square feet, thus making Edina City Hall eligible. Funded by the state of Minnesota, it aims to use tr aditional construction with innovative energy design. Edina City Hall was the first public building developed under the Energy Design Assistance Program. The program has ten strategies. The strategies and some of the city hall selections are below: 1. Window Glazing and Frame Alternatives 2. Daylighting Controls • Automatic lighting sensors were installed inside and outside the building. This allows the lights to dim when the area is brightened by the sun. • In consideration of neighbors on the north side of the building, exterior lights are extinguished daily after 9 pm and on holidays and weekends. • Use of high efficiency light bulbs • Use of indirect lighting, i.e. exterior wall offices have a window on their interior wall to bring light into the inner office areas. 3. Envelope Insulation Alternatives 4. Lighting Controls 5. Lighting Design Alternatives 6. Cooling Efficiency 7. Heating Efficiency A heat recovery system was installed to recover 44% of the heat inside the building. For safety, the system also brings outside air into the system. 8. Motor Efficiency 9. Load Responsive Equipment and Operation 10. Conditioning of Outside Air A sophisticated computer system controls lighting and heating/cooling needs. Sensors were placed throughout the facility to monitor needs. Many options were offered under each of the strategies. Decisions had to consider the impact on employees and aesthetics as well as energy conservation. For example, the boiler selected for the facility was not the most efficient option (86 %), but higher levels of efficiency would have caused significant vibrations to the offices immediately below this installation. Page 23 of 26 APPENDIX F: U.S. Mayors'- Statement on Global Warming 2003 The following letter was sent to President George W. Bush, along with signatures of mayors from across the U.S. Ten Minnesota mayors were signatories, representing the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Dayton, Duluth, Mankato, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Morris, Rochester and Virginia. Mayors from across the U.S. are concerned about the impacts of global warming on our communities. Many of us are actively pursuing reductions at the municipal level, but know it will take leadership at the national level to slow the rate of global warming. We urge the Federal Government to focus attention and policy efforts on this critical issue. Global warming poses significant threats to communities across the country. We are already feeling impacts in the form of heat waves, shrinking water supplies and snow pack, increased rates of asthma, floods and storms, and coastal erosion. The scientific community is very clear in its warning — we must act now to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions below current levels or we will quickly reach a point at which global warming can not be reversed. This issue requires an effective response from the U.S. Federal Government. Many local governments across the country have made it a policy priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As mayors, we know that actions that promote energy conservation and efficiency, sustainable transportation (such as expanded mass transit, alternative fuel vehicles, and bike and pedestrian safety amenities) and reduce solid waste also reduce greenhouse gas and criteria pollutants emissions and bring a host of benefits to our communities. These actions reduce financial waste for local governments, businesses and citizens; they make our communities more livable; they increase spending and economic investment in our communities; and they increase the quality of life for current and future generations. In addition to these benefits, two other reasons have recently emerged that put reducing greenhouse gas emission at the top of the policy priority list. The first is energy security. Switching to cleaner energy sources, practicing conservation and maximizing energy efficiency will ease U.S. dependence on foreign fossil fuel - based energy, and at the same time improve local air quality and public health. The second driver is the simple fact that the people in our communities are calling on us as elected leaders to address global warming. A public mandate is emerging in cities and towns across the country calling for governments at all levels to protect the global climate. As mayors responsible for the well being of our communities, we urge the federal government to maintain, enhance and implement new domestic policies and programs that work with local communities to reduce global warming pollution.

Page 26 of 26 December 12, 2005 The Honorable James Hovland 4801 W. 50th St. Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mr. Hovland, I am a Boy Scout from Troop 68, (We meet at Good Samaritan church,) and I am writing to you to voice my opinion on the matter of the apartment building going up in Centennial Lakes. I think that this apartment building may go up, but not way up. It cost the county a lot to make Centennial Lakes a park -like atmosphere, and by building such an enormous structure would completely wipe out this park -like area, sticking out like a sore thumb. I believe that it should be lowered to maybe one to two stories (At most,) above the buildings immediately surrounding it. Some may think it is odd to have a apartment building in Centennial lakes, there are already condos there, and it is just as odd to have a movie theatre there as to have a apartment complex. If there is any square footage left to spare, they could widen the hotel, expanding in width and/or length, rather than height. If the people planning to build the building find that such a little amount of space would not be worth the expenses, and leave, one could simply wait for another, more suitable business (Such as a restaurant) to try and build something there. If one doesn't come soon enough, the city could just build some more of the park there. Please take my opinions in thought. Sincerely, Matt Cook (Boy Scout, Troop 68 of Good Samaritan Methodist Church) City of Edina December 12 -2005 Mr. Steven J..Timmer 5348 Oaklawn Avenue Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mr. Timmer: This letter is in response to your letter dated November 10, 2005 to the Edina City Council. We all agree that traffic within and around Edina has become a, major issue within the past few years. The Edina City Council also agrees with this statement. Two years ago the City Council initiated a Transportation Commission to help the Council make difficult decisions regarding local traffic. The Transportation Commission, under the order of the City Council, has commenced a traffic study of the northeast area of Edina. Although the study area does not include the 54th and Oaklawn area, decisions made within this area do affect the overall transportation system.. The Edina Transportation Commission has also developed a process to obtain traffic calming measures for your neighborhood through a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan; that is if they are warranted. Please see the attached brochure for information on how to apply for this plan. The Edina Police Department does aggressively enforce traffic throughout Edina. Mike Siitari, Edina Police Chief, stated that West 54th Street is on the list of enforcement areas. This list does change from time to time. Mike also indicated . that Officers do perform smart enforcement. This type of enforcement takes into account when the violators. are on. a particular roadway. If you do know of a time period that speeders are present-p. lease contact our Police Sergeant, Phil Larsen at 952 - 826 -0482 with these times. If you, have any questions or need additional information please contact me at 952 - 826 - 0443 . or at whoule .ci.edina.mn.us. Sincerely, Wayne D. Houle, PE Director of Public Works / City Engineer C: Mayor and Council Mike Siitari - Edina Police Chief Steve Lillehaug - Edina Traffic Engineer City Hall 952- 927 -8861 4801 WEST 50TH STREET FAX 952- 826 -0390 EDINA, MINNESOTA, 55424 -1394 www.cityofedina.com TTY 952 - 826 -0379 5teven J, Timmer _551a Oaklawn Avenue F Jina, Minnesota 55424 95z.922.8++o November 10, 2005 Mayor James Hovland and Members of the City Council 4801 West 50'h Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Deter Mayor Hovland and Ladies & Gentlemen: I am writing to you about the significant increase in traffic that has occurred in our neighborhood in the last several months. As yet another large construction materials truck or single occupant SUV - often piloted by a grim -faced driver on a cell phone - rockets past our house, I have to conclude that the new development activity at 50'h and France is accomplishing the diminution of the quality of life in South Harriet Park, and I suspect in Countryside, too. We have lived in this house twenty-five years. We raised two boys here, and we felt that the area was safe for them. Now, of the four houses between Kellogg and Oaklawn on 541h Street, the other three of them are occupied by families with small children, including coincidentally two of Fred Richard's grandchildren across the street from us. There are kids all along Wooddale, 54th Street, Halifax, etc. and etc. that are greatly affected by the traffic congestion created by the development and construction activity at 50'h and France. There are significant externalities to this activity that are being borne by the neighborhoods, Edina's his neighborhoods. I am particularly dismayed because the current - and - future proposed - development requires not simply permits, but material variance or amendment of Edina's zoning ordinance. The quiet enjoyment of their property of many long time residents is being sacrificed for the benefit of a couple of developers. For what? Canyons at 50'h and France and buildings with more chain store tenants? I really think the following must be done: 1. A competent traffic study must be undertaken and serious consideration given to the effect on the neighborhoods of any more multi-story development at 50'h and France, especially if it requires zoning variance or amendment. Remember, the zoning ordinance is not only a regulator of property uses, it is a covenant with surrounding property owners, too. 2. Traffic calming measures should be considered and undertaken for streets that are receiving materially - increased traffic because of this development. From my standpoint, the object of the exercise is not to see how broad and straight a drainage ditch for traffic we can create. Stop signs, lower speed limits, and perhaps some of the traffic routing strategies taken in southwest M* ea olis need t 3. Additional traffic enforcement is badly needed. The City needs more officers dedicated to traffic enforcement. I have requested enforcement along 541h Street at least a few times this summer, but it doesn't happen, or doesn't last I would be pleased to meet with any appropriate city officials to discuss this further. In fact, I request the opportunity to meet with people in the Planning Department and the Police about this. Thank you. /sjt Very truly yours, teven J. Timmer 5917 Kellogg Ave. S. Edina, Minnesota 55424 December 9, 2005 The Honorable James Hovland, Mayor of Edina 4801 W. 50th St. Edina, MN 55424 Re: Reconstruction of Valley View Road Dear Mayor Hovland: I. am writing to thank the City for the successful reconstruction of Valley View Road from the Crosstown Highway to Wooddale. With the installation of street lights last month, I believe congratulations are in order for the planning and design team. In my opinion, the project is a step up in sophistication of streetscape design in Edina. I was pleased with the project for several reasons: 1. The traffic design eliminated the long, high -speed westbound merge from two lanes at TH 62 to one lane at Wooddale. This eliminates the unpleasant and unsafe jockeying as people tried to figure out who was following (or leading) whom. 2. The lane markings, new curb, parking areas, sidewalk and landscaping seem to have reduced speeds and smoothed traffic flow. I think this may be a good demonstration of the first steps in "traffic calming„ in Edina. 3. The sidewalks are a major improvement over the previous shabby single sidewalk with broken, bituminous curb. With the setback from the street and the addition of new landscaping it makes walking a much more pleasant experience. Having sidewalk on both sides of the street is a big step forward for Edina, as well. 4. The elimination of residential parking areas adjacent to the sidewalk greatly upgraded the overall look of the neighborhood. I imagine that some of the design decisions were difficult and entailed some risk. I hope you will thank the people who made them and encourage them in their future projects. Sinc Nels P. Ne son MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE EDINA HERITAGE PRESERVATION BOARD TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005, AT 7:00 P.M. EDINA HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT ARNESON ACRES 4711 WEST 70TH STREET MEMBERS PRESENT: Vice Chair Bob Kojetin, Marie Thorpe, Arlene Forrest, David Runyan, Lou Blemaster, Chris Rofidal, and Ian Yue MEMBERS ABSENT: Gary Nyberg and Karen Ferrara STAFF PRESENT: Joyce Repya, Associate Planner OTHERS PRESENT: Robert Vogel, Heritage Preservation Consultant I. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: Member Thorpe moved for approval of the minutes from the August 9, 2005 meeting. Member Forrest seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. II. EDINA THEATER SIGN — LANDMARK NOMINATION: Consultant Vogel explained that the State Historical Society must have 60 days to review the landmark nomination for the Edina Theater Sign. At this time, the 60 day period is over; although we have not heard from SHPO, we can now proceed to the next step of the nomination process which includes review and comment of the proposed nomination by Edina's Planning Commission. Planner Repya advised the Board that she would discuss placing the nomination on the Planning Commission's calendar with Planning Director, Craig Larsen. The Commission will most likely address the nomination at their November 30th meeting. No formal action was taken. III. HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN: Consultant Vogel advised the Board that as they continue formulating of the Historic Preservation Plan a disaster management plan should be considered. It is the purpose of such a plan to have a strategy in place to address damage to historic structures. The key players involved should be the first responders, i.e., police, fire and the City's building inspectors. Such plans identify the protocol for an emergency response coordinator who is usually the chief building inspector. Minutes — October 11, 2005 Edina Heritage Preservation Board Mr. Vogel pointed.out that firemen play an important role in the immediate response - --and- clean- up -of- historic- structures.— It =is- important-- that - the - firemen _and- building - -- officials are aware of the historic structures in the community so when they are called to an emergency situation at such structures, they can put into practice the protocol that has been established. Mr. Vogel observed that the City of Eden Prairie has an interesting solution with protecting their historic structures that he will share with the Board. Discussion ensued regarding the disaster management concept. When asked where in the plan one might find reference to disaster management, Mr. Vogel explained that it would be a component of the Objectives, Issues and Actions section. Member Kojetin asked if the abandonment or neglect of historic structures would be addressed within the Preservation Plan. Mr. Vogel pointed out that unlike some cities, the neglect and abandonment of structures is really not problematic in Edina. There are protections already built into the City's building and zoning codes that address the abandonment and neglect of structures. Member Forrest observed that she felt Member Kojetin made a good point; as time goes by and more structures are designated historic, neglect could become an issue. Board members agreed that it would be appropriate to address abandoned and neglected structures in the preservation plan so as -to dovetail with the city codes. A brief discussion ensued. No formal action was taken. IV. INTERLACHEN BOULEVARD TRAIL SURVEY: Consultant Vogel explained that the City of Edina proposes to use federal transportation funds to construct an eight -foot wide pedestrian trailway along the north side of Interlachen, Boulevard from Vernon to Blake Road, thence along the east side of Interlachen north to the Hopkins city limits;'continuing along the west side of Blake Road to, the LRT trail. The federal grant funds are administered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), MnDOT needs to determine whether the, project will have an adverse effect on any properties listed in or eligible for.the National Register of Historic Places. MnDOT has agreed to allow the City of Edina to conduct the necessary surveys to demonstrate compliance with NHPA Section .106. The City has contracted with me to carry out a Phase I or reconnaissance -level survey of the trailway corridor, including the area of potential effects within the City of Hopkins. The objective of the Phase I survey is to identify buildings and structures more than 50 years old and evaluate their historical and architectural significance. Historic properties that appear to meet the National Register eligibility criteria may need to be intensively surveyed, at the discretion of MnDOT, to compile all of the information needed to fully evaluate their historic preservation value. Old Minutes — October 11, 2005 Edina Heritage Preservation Board To date, Consultant Vogel explained that he has inspected over one hundred buildings in the proposed trailway corridor. Of those, about half were constructed prior to 1955. One property, the Paul Peterson House, 5312 Interlachen (built in 1882), has already been designated an Edina Heritage Landmark and is therefore considered National Register eligible. Preliminary data suggest that three properties —the Interlachen Country Club golf course and club house 6200 Interlachen (built in 1911/1919); the Schendel property, 5224 Interlachen (built in 1921); and the Keck property, 420 Blake (built in 1915) —may also be worthy of consideration as high - potential heritage preservation resources. Historical background research and field survey work continues. Mr. Vogel pointed out that he expects to submit the final report of the Phase I survey in time for the HPB's November meeting. If Phase II intensive survey is required, there may be opportunities for volunteer participation in data collection —for example, in reconstructing the design and construction history of Interlachen Country Club. A brief discussion ensued among the Board. Member Yue stated that he is writing an article about the proposed trail for the Edina High School newspaper The Zephyrus and asked who he could interview to receive more information. Planner Repya explained that City Engineer, Wayne Houle would be a great contact for the article, and offered to assist in arranging the interview. No formal action was taken. V. BROWNDALE BRIDGE REHABILITATION: Consultant Vogel explained that work has progressed with the plans to restore and stabilize the Browndale Bridge. At this time, chunks of concrete are peeling away due to road water run -off and road salt. Of the several approaches that could be used, it is felt that a system of creating somewhat of a slipcover over the existing bridge and reengineering the curbs to prevent further run -off and salt would be the best approach. Mr. Vogel observed that the bridge was designed by a Hennepin County Engineer in 1906 and was truly over engineered. The proposed improvements will more than likely ensure another 100 years for the structure. He added that the best time to do the work on the bridge will be when the water is at its lowest point. If need be, the creek will be dammed up, which will also be a perfect time for investigating the creek bed. Board members thanked Mr. Vogel for the update and indicated that they looked forward to receiving more information as the project progresses. 3 Minutes — October 11, 2005 Edina Heritage Preservation Board VI. MINNESOTA PRESERVATION CONFERENCE REPORT: Member Kojetin reported that he attended the Friday, September 16th session of the Minnesota Heritage Preservation Conference in Duluth, representing the Edina HPB. The highlights of the conference for Kojetin were the sessions on bridges, a tour of historic houses and lunch at the historic Gitchi Gummi Club. He stated that the SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) staff does a very good job with the conference every year, and pointed out that it provides a wonderful opportunity to get to know HPB members from other communities and to share common experiences. Member Kojetin added that he would encourage Board members to attend next years meeting which will be held in Red Wing. VII. PRESERVATION FORUM 2006 IN BALTIMORE: Consultant Vogel advised the Board that the 2006 Forum of the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions will be held next July 27 — 30 in Baltimore, MD. He pointed out that several suburban Baltimore communities have very similar histories as Edina. - an example would be the Roland Park neighborhood which is one of the historic neighborhood Samuel Thorpe emulated when designing Edina's Country Club District area. Historically, the Forum sessions have provided a series of interactive programs on issues and problems faced by heritage preservation boards. Problems are presented and facilitators work with the groups to identify solutions and in the end, provide a report. All in all, a very worthwhile, learning experience for attendees, not to mention a great opportunity to tour Baltimore and its suburbs. Mr. Vogel explained that federal grant money is available to defray the cost of the conference if members of Edina's HPB were interested in attending. He promised to get back to the Board at the December meeting to see if there was interest in applying for a funding grant. No formal action was taken. VIII. NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION 2007 MEETING: Consultant Vogel explained that the City of St. Paul will be hosting the 2007 conference of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Mr. Vogel is serving on the steering committee, and suggested that the Board consider ways they may be involved, such as hosting a tour of Edina. The program for the conference will be created sometime in 2006 and Mr. Vogel promised to keep the Board updated. No formal action was taken. 4 Minutes — October 11, 2005 Edina Heritage Preservation Board IX.

Edina, MN 55435 December 7, 2005 Mayor and Council City of Edina. 4801 W. 50'' St. Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mayor and Council, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you Tuesday night about the necessity that any proposed stadium tax be subject to existing Minnesota statutes, specifically that there be no exemption from 297A.99 subdivisions 2 and 3. It was a very long night for you, what with the citizens concerned about the high -rise building on France and those concerned about the refuse collection. I appreciate the fact that at the late hour of 11:30 p.m. you still gave me a chance to speak, and listened carefully. You certainly need a lot of stamina (and patience) to do what you do. I look forward to the further information to be gleaned from Commissioners Koblick and Johnson, and to further meetings with you. Thank you again for giving serious attention to what I consider an extremely important issue. Sincerely, ale Laura J. Lehmann, M.D. 6820 Wooddale Ave. So.. 952- 929 -0052 cell: 612 - 310 -7658 StAdium plans prompt dissent Posted on Sat, Dec. 10, 2005 Stadium plans prompt dissent Page 1 of 2 Cities seeking sales tax referendum BY MARY BAUER Pioneer Press A quiet revolt is under way among cities in Anoka County that have passed or are considering resolutions asking for a countywide referendum on a sales tax to fund a new Minnesota Vikings stadium. The city councils in Centerville and Oak Grove already have passed such resolutions and Lino Lakes will consider one Monday. Ham Lake tabled a similar measure in October because council members decided the point was moot unless the stadium was going to be taken up during a special session of the Legislature. Two bills before the Legislature would exempt a stadium authority from a 2000 state law that requires new sales taxes to go before the voters. Instead, authority members, most appointed by the county and by Blaine, could approve a countywide sales tax of up to 0.75 percent. "My city isn't going to benefit one bit," said Tom Lee, a City Council member from Centerville. "In fact, we're going to suffer from it." The resolutions, which began cropping up in October, are similar to city-led protests in Hennepin County regarding a proposed Twins stadium tax and in Ramsey County over the funding formula for a consolidated dispatch center. In Anoka County, some cities' reactions were spurred by requests from citizens. Ron Holch of Lino Lakes, who heads a group fighting the stadium, asked his council to consider the resolution. The Fridley City Council will hear a similar citizen's request in January. "The citizens are coming to the city and asking us to speak up," said Donna Carlson, a council member in Lino Lakes who supports a pro- referendum resolution. But Centerville and Oak Grove officials took it upon themselves to voice protest because unlike other broad taxes, a stadium sales tax offers them little. "We see no benefit in it from our standpoint," said Jim Iund, an Oak Grove council member. "If they raise the sales tax three - quarters of a percent and put it into the roads in Anoka County, I'd be the first one to vote for it." But some officials question whether it's proper for cities to meddle in county business. "It's not our decision," said Lino Lakes Council Member Jeff Reinert. "We're sticking our collective council nose in an area where it doesn't belong." Reinert, who said he is against the sales tax itself, likened Monday's proposal to taking positions on abortion or the war in Iraq. "It's outside the purview of our responsibility and authority." City officials said they're not against the stadium, just the idea of a new tax without a countywide vote. But that's not how it appears, said Margaret Langfeld, county board chairman. She said that some city officials are cloaking anti - stadium views as a right -to -vote issue. The resolutions make it harder for the county to sell the stadium, which she sees as a vital economic boon, no matter what funding mechanism is eventually devised. "I don't know why they'd want to get a dog in that fight," she said. "They have their sphere of influence and their responsibilities. I don't think this is their issue." httn: / /www .twincities.com /mld/twincities / news /local/13374862.htm ?template= contentM... 12/12/2005 S&dium plans prompt dissent Page 2 of 2 But new taxes are always a concern of cities, Lee said, and county residents already are stinging from recent property tax bill increases of up to 35 percent, which in Centerville doesn't include an additional school levy approved in November. "I'm not a financial wizard, but I can add 2 plus 2, and know that I can't afford this," he said. And cities have a vested interest in protecting their businesses, said the city's mayor, Mary Capra. She likened the sales tax to recent smoking bans. Cities on a county's border suffer because more appealing choices for consumers are just a mile away. Businesses approached the city with concerns about the sales tax more than a year ago, she said. They feared small local businesses would start buying their supplies in Washington County. "The sales tax affects our economic growth because of the competition," she said. Carlson said that if the referendum waiver is granted, a resolution is the only say their city and residents will have on the sales tax. And if city officials have a way to influence better representation for their citizens, they have a duty to do so, said outgoing Lino Lakes Council Member Caroline Dahl. Ham Lake Mayor Gary Kirkeide, who wrote the resolution Centerville and Oak Grove adopted, said it's important for cities to show support for citizens upset by the proposed tax, many of whom have called him. "I think it's important that we listen to our residents and they want to vote on it," Kirkeide said. "It's a question of fairness and a question of obeying the law."

Stenglein told an overflow crowd that he was "proud to support" the proposal, and that "big thinkers did big projects." What he did not tell them, although he had discussed it privately with his County Board colleagues before the 4 -3 vote, was that he has a close personal and political connection to Bruce 12/7/2005 f2 ov �;O�,z 7 �t; Page 2 of 4 Lambrecht, a central figure in the limited partnership that owns the proposed stadium property. When Stenglein ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Minneapolis in 2001, Lambrecht was an influential member of his campaign - holding a fundraiser for Stenglein at Lambrecht's home and leasing office space to the Stenglein campaign.. Lambrecht, according to Hennepin County Commissioner Penny Steele, an opponent of the stadium plan, helped recruit Stenglein to run for mayor and was "probably one of his best friends." Stenglein's campaign manager during that race, Brian McClung, later worked as a lobbyist for Twinsville Inc., a company used by Lambrecht to help promote the ! stadium and a redevelopment plan for the surrounding area. McClung now serves as Gov. Tim Pawlenty's spokesman. And last year, a Stenglein aide took a leave of absence from his county job to work as a lobbyist for Lambrecht and Twinsville Inc. The aide, Mike Sable, said he was approached by Lambrecht and others for the job, and said he cleared the three -month leave with Stenglein. In recent interviews, Stenglein downplayed his relationship with Lambrecht and said that because they have no private financial dealings, there is no conflict of interest. Stenglein said he does not plan to abstain on any future votes on the project at the county, where his vote is seen as critical. The withdrawal of his support could scuttle the stadium proposal, which is currently waiting legislative action. "I don't have any financial relationship with him," Stenglein said. He said Lambrecht is "not a dear confidante, by no means. It'd be more political; [I] met him through po! litical circles." "I've never gotten any money from him in terms of lieu of services - I've never worked for him," Stenglein said. He added, however, that with the stadium proposal now in the public eye, he has attempted to keep an arm's - length relationship with Lambrecht. "I've been kinda doing that ever since this baseball thing really kinda came to reality," he said. Lambrecht said Friday that while he and his family "are friends with Mark and his family," he did not lobby Stenglein before the County Board's May 3 vote to pursue the stadium proposal. He also said he served only as an unpaid volunteer during Stenglein's mayoral race, and minimized his role in the campaign. "I never urged Stenglein to run for mayor or any other office," Lambrecht said in a written statement Though the county has not entered into negotiations to buy the stadium site - the proposal actually would leave that job for a new, independent ballpark authority - both the county and the Twins see the so- called Rapid Park property in the downtown! Minneapolis Warehouse District as the preferred stadium location. Lambrecht and Rich Pogin are shareholders in Investment Management Inc., the managing entity for a series of limited partnerships that own the property. At a news conference announcing the agreement between the county and the Twins, Lambrecht joined Twins owner Carl Pohlad and others in speaking about the plan. Under the proposed agreement, the Twins would contribute $125 million to the construction of the stadium and the county, by increasing a countywide sales tax, would pay $235 million toward the stadium. The county would also be responsible for related infrastructure costs. The additional sales tax could last for as long as 30 years and collect as much as $1.1 billion. The plan's most controversial feature calls for the Legislature to exempt the county from having to hold a referendum on the sales tax increase. 12/7/2005 Page 3 of 4 Possible conflict Stenglein said he talked with other commiss! ioners about Lambrecht, and the issue was raised by Steele. He said sh a told him, "You're friends with Lambrecht. You better not have any financial dealings with him." Asked about the Stenglein - Lambrecht connection, Steele said, "I would personally opt out of the vote." Lambrecht, she said, was "terribly involved" in Stenglein's mayoral race. Board Chair Randy Johnson, a stadium supporter, said Stenglein approached him about Lambrecht. "I said, 'Do you have any business, financial, joint interests [with him] at all ?" said Johnson. "He said, 'Absolutely not. "' "I don't seethe conflict in it," said Johnson, who added however that he had received a -mails regarding Stenglein's relationship with Lambrecht. "I don't see this as even coming close." Similarly, Commissioner Mike Opat, the'county's chief negotiator on the proposed stadium, said he asked Stenglein about his ties with Lambrecht. "I think I did ask Mark, was there a business relationship ?" said Opat. "I'm certain the answer was no." Opat said he brought up the top! is with Stenglein "as we got closer to having an agreement" with the Twins over the past two months. Opat said he did not see a conflict for Stenglein. "I was never led to believe there was anything that was untoward," he said. Stenglein said he actually first became acquainted with Lambrecht's wife, Jeanne Braun, when Braun owned a company that competed with Les Work Inc., a company Stenglein owned that would sublet executive office space in the Twin Cities. Stenglein started his company before he became a county commissioner in 1996, and said he has since sold it. Lisa McDonald, a former Minneapolis City Council member who also ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2001, said she remembered Lambrecht playing a key role in Stenglein's campaign. "He certainly seemed like. the brains in the campaign," she said. At most of the campaign's public events, she added, Lambrecht was there with Stenglein. "He was always down in the back of the room," she said. McDon! ald said she too wondered about Stenglein's relationship with Lambrech t as the stadium deal unfolded. "[I thought], 'My, my, isn't this a fine kettle of fish," she said. Vickie Heller, a prominent Minneapolis property owner who is active in conservative politics, said she held a fundraiser for Stenglein in 2001. Though she said she does not recall Lambrecht's title, Heller said Lambrecht appeared to be running the campaign. "He was always around at every fundraiser that I had anything to do with for Stenglein," she said. Mike Kaszuba is at mkaszuba @startribune.com.

This tax will raise $1.1 billion over 30 years. Several articles recently printed in the Star Tribune assert that the county will own the stadium. Not true. The county will not own 1 ,� � ✓�� c�� the stadium; a baseball commission will. A May 6 Star Tribune editorial ( "This is a republic; stop with the referendum talk ") implied that referendums aren't appropriate for this taxation proposal. Not true. State statute requires a referendum. This is not a simple 113 cents on $20" tax deal that gives us outdoor baseball. That's the mantra the advocates want everyone to repeat, without asking for the details. Those advocates designed this, in timing and in process, to thwart effective public review and input. The people and businesses in Hennepin County affected by this taxing decision deserve to decide whether this billion - dollar tax proposal makes sense to them, and provides them with value for the public tax dollar. They also deserve a forum where they can speak and be heard. This "just get it done" approach is inappropriate for government. It's about more than just legal requirements. It's about respect. What's wrong with moving so fast? People who are affected and want to participate in a public body's decision - making process are hampered from receiving adequate access to details, to accurate information, to public input and review, to public hearings. Input must come before decision - makers act, not after. History tells us government has a thorough process to follow on taxation efforts for good reason. This is a taxation issue, first and foremost. Taxing $28 million every year, year after year, eats up taxing capacity, something that regardless of the type of tax still comes out of your pocket. Tax capacity that many argue is needed for the real purpose of what government exists to do -- like services and programs in public safety, health, human services, transportation and criminal justice. Budget cuts loom. The advocates know this competes with stadium efforts and funding. So do the local sales tax proposals from Minneapolis (also .15 percent) and the state, if it pursues a local sales tax to pay for a roof on this proposed outdoor stadium or the other two stadiums vying for public funding. We owe it to ourselves to fully encourage citizen awareness and public participation in this important taxation and stadium issue, before action is taken, to ensure that if it does proceed it is successful. Linda Koblick is a Hennepin County commissioner.

We depend on our community to bring incidents such as this to our attention. Mayor Hovland has asked me, the Police Chief, to respond. I have spoken with Lt. Long and Sgt. Kuyper about the sequence of events that night. Edina officers were called to assist in locating a Minneapolis burglary suspect that was hiding in the area of 501h Street and Drew Avenue. The two Edina officers who responded did so in a routine manner, meaning they did not use emergency lights or a siren. Neither officer drove southbound on France Avenue or passed through the 49 '/z Street intersection. Approximately 10 Minneapolis Police cars responded with red lights, with a variety using France Avenue to get to the scene. I believe the squad involved in the near miss was a Minneapolis squad. Minnesota law dictates that officers may proceed through a controlled intersection, with due caution, using emergency lights and/or a siren. Although it does not appear any Edina officers were involved in this driving conduct, be assured that we take driving conduct very seriously and do not condone reckless driving conduct. All our officers are trained in safe emergency vehicle operation and we regularly review statutory and policy guidelines. If you have questions about the incident or our policy you can call me at 952- 826 -0467.

The light was green and as we were proceeding into the intersection an Edina Police car sped past - -going south on France -- -with it's lights on but no siren. This is a blind corner and there was no way we could have seen the car approaching. We felt that had we been 4 seconds earlier we would either be dead or sustained substantial injuries. I called the Edina Police when we returned home and spoke to a Sgt. Kuyper, who during the conversation, revealed that at least 5 other people had called. He informed me that there was a robbery occurring and that this was a tactic the police used to catch the robbers. 1 told him I object to this tactic as I did not want to die for some store's profit. I left my name and the next day a Cpl. Jeff Long called and said that it is not the policy of the Edina Police Dept. to go through red lights with no siren. Hopefully this is the case. I would like some assurance from both of you that this is not your policy as I wish to continue to see movies, shop and dine in the area.

I will attempt to address your concerns about our traffic enforcement. 4. Our staff was unable to find a citation issued to you in our records. Did you receive a citation or a warning? The reason I ask this is that I have not seen a citation for 10 MPH overt limit on 50'h street for many years due to the high volume of flagrant violators on 'that stretch of road. We regularly enforce the speed.limit on 50`h Street but the tolerance is generally higher than 10 MPH. If you were issued a citation .I would be glad to, check our records again so T can determine the exact facts of the violation. A date, time, location or citation number will help me in the search. I do find it interesting that you admit that you and everyone else around you were going over the posted`-limit. The "going with the flow of traffic "`is the number one excuse we hear:for speeding. This does not justify violating the law. Each driver is responsible for the safe operation of his or her own vehicle. It.appears that the fact that it was a "decent sized road" makes the speed.violation less of a problem to you. I must confess that I do riot, understand this justification. Traffic safety is a priority for the Edina Police Department. We feel that traffic,:' enforcement is one of the best ways we can keep the community safe. You should have no problems patronizing the neighborhood businesses as long as you follow the laws. in Edina. . Sincerely.

I promise I will stay-out of Edina. This summer I turned off of 100 headed west to a dry cleaner on a busy week day and just flowing with the rest of the traffic. Out from behind a tree come two officers with a speed gun and give me a ticket for going 10 miles over the speed limit on a decent sized road. I and everyone in front and back of me were going faster than the posted limit probably. So I promise to go elsewhere when I want Davannis and a movie at Blockbuster. I will find a different Perkins to go to and I won't.add to the traffic on 501h and France or in my old neighborhood at 44 and France. No wine, no bagels, no dry cleaning across the street, no haircuts, and no burgers and shakes. I promise.

I was appointed to both these positions before the city provisions changed in April 2005. For the Edina Health Committee, I am the representative to the State Community Health Services Advisory Committee. As the representative, I have had opportunities to chat with the Commissioner of Health, Dianne Mandernach, which has led to her coming to the City of Edina in March or April of 2006. She will speak on Fit Cities, the bird flu pandemic — among other enlightening topics. I was also the Health Chair for two years. For the Edina Human Rights and Relations Commission, I serve on several sub- committees including the anti - bullying work group. I am in the process of contacting Mr. James Backstrom, . Dakota County attorney, to speak to our commission on bullying prevention and positive intervention. This could lead to a city -wide forum on anti - bullying initiatives. I served as 2 "d Vice Chair for two years and was on the by -laws and name change committee. Both respective positions have been an honor for me, and I feel dedicated to both areas. I would like to bring closure to some activities which I am currently working very hard on. Please allow this citizen of Edina to serve the balance of both terms.

I am very impressed with the outstanding work they do. • I am also very impressed with the way you personally conduct yourself as mayor. Your a very good facilitator. • And I think overall Edina has a strong council, especially Swenson & Housch. 2) The negative; * It was very disappointing to observe Ms. Hulbert's conduct at your December meeting, and her not so subtle attacks on Edina staff. I know she is new to the council, which may be some excuse for her inability to effectively contribute, but there is no excuse for her comments. I appreciate the candid and direct way you responded. If anything you afforded her far more respect than she deserved. 3) My request, I may be interested in purchasing a condominium in the Cypress Equities project, but am having trouble getting even general pricing information. Can you refer me to someone who can provide some insight on that & a rough timeframe for when the project will be completed ? Thanks so much.

I am the parent of 4 kids, ages 9 -17, three boys and a girl. My kids have participated in Edina soccer, baseball, football, basketball, volleyball, track, cross - country, and Nordic skiing. They have experienced traveling, house league, school sponsored JV and intramural sports at elementary, middle - school and high school levels. After years of observing these sports programs, the coaching, the parents and athletes, I have formed the following conclusion: The gap between traveling and house league is too wide. Traveling sports programs are over the top. An extreme competition for positions on traveling teams has developed because there are no satisfactory alternatives for youth team sports. As a result, traveling programs have come to be controlled by overly competitive parents who push their kids too hard; often at the expense of academics, play time, and family time. Though many families complain about early moming /late evening practices, weekends on the road, Wednesday night and Sunday practices and games, waiting between games and lack of family time, they put up with it because house league does not offer enough. The problem with house league is that it is a glorified social hour. It is really good for those who wish to participate in a sport for fun once in a while. It is terrible for those who wish to improve their skills. There are some good coaches. But many do not know enough about the game, skills or coaching to improve the players. They often stand around talking on cell phones instead of coaching. Many players do not put much effort into their play and this is a huge frustration to those who take it a bit more seriously. The current gap in the level of coaching and playing time between traveling and house league is a problem that I hope can be adjusted. Our youngest athletes are pushed too hard. They should spend more time on academics and unstructured play. Our adolescents who have the desire to improve should be given more opportunity to do so. It is also my opinion that it would be better for 7th and 8th graders to be a part of after school sports programs rather than traveling. Kids this age would benefit by having unbiased, school- sponsored coaches who would likely have a better perspective of students' well- rounded developement than some politicized parent coaches. A frustrated high school coach once told me we are letting a whole lot of talent slip between our fingers because with the traveling systems the way they are, we essentially neglect huge numbers of kids at important skill building ages, leaving them with the idea that they are no good. This occurs before their bodies and minds have had a chance to mature. He said the system also fails when kids who were flagged at an early age to be varsity material fail to mature past a certain point, or they burn out. This coach favors developing as many kids as possible for as long as possible to produce the strongest, deepest teams possible, and to allow more kids to benefit from organized team sports and all the life skills that go with it. I couldn't agree more. Good luck.

When my son was in 4th grade I remember a high school coach was already evaluating and recruiting for the high school basketball team. And if you weren't selected at an early age you probably would not make the team. That is not what youth sports should be. So my vote is for developing a system that allows for a wide range of participation in sports and play time for as many youth as possible. Thanks for your time. a KEEP `EM ALL PLAYING ( "KEAP ") Statement, December 6, 2006 My name is Paul Bearmon. I am President of KEAP, a nonprofit organization founded in Minnesota three years ago to promote youth sports participation in healthy, family - friendly environments. KEAP has a seven member board of directors, including medical doctors, a lawyer, parents, and youth workers. KEAP has sponsored public forums, a website, and networking of parents, youth groups, coaches, and other interested people. Thousands of people have participated in our efforts. As reported today in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, KEAP's influence has reached as far as Upper Arlington, Ohio, where an organization inspired by KEAP now oversees youth sports activities. KEAP supports certain principles that should govern all publicly supported youth sports programs. Our guiding principle is fair and equal access for all children. We believe that youth sports can play an important role in the education, development and growth of our boys and girls, and that the opportunity to participate should not be limited or denied based on discriminatory factors such as gender, race, or perceived ability. Statistics showing that 70% of all kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 12 or 13 represent a failure of our sports programs. Surveys show that kids lose interest in sports because too much emphasis on winning, coaches playing favorites, and too much time pressure take the fun out of sports. One of the most destructive influences on participation is a policy of cutting children from teams at the grade school level, and forming elite teams and groups of players at that level. Too many of our youth sports programs fall under the influence of adult motives, adult egos, and adult concerns with winning and losing. Experience and medical research show that selecting students based on ability before puberty is irrational and discriminatory against kids who develop interest in sports at a later age or who are late bloomers physically. Ironically, elite teams and cutting kids at grade school age have come under criticism from coaches and others concerned with the quality of high school varsity programs; the pool of potential star players is reduced, rather than enhanced by the failure of youth sports programs to maintain high participation levels. In Edina there is a history of dramatic fall -off in participation in organized sports after 5th grade. KEAP is concerned that the fall -off in interest and participation in youth sports in Edina results from our lack of public oversight of the various organizations and sports boards that now control our facilities and programs. These organizations play a vital roll in providing sports opportunities and allocating facilities. However, without public oversight these organizations can get off-track in directions that hinder fair and equal access. For this reason KEAP supports the creation of an independent youth sports council in Edina. Since KEAP's public support for the independent youth sports council began, the need for public oversight has been dramatically illustrated by the personal attacks that have been made on me and my family because of my role as the public face of KEAP. Public oversight is very threatening to people who are used to doing things their own way. False statements about me and one of my sons have been produced by a person claiming to speak for youth sports, and circulated by Edina Park Board staff, in an attempt to personalize the issues and to distract attention from the principles involved. KEAP's position on the matter of public oversight is based on widely supported, publicly stated principles, not personalities. It happens that one of my sons is an athletic early developer and passionate about sports. He did not try out for 5th grade elite basketball, and therefore has been an outsider to the Edina Basketball Association traveling programs ever after. However, he has not been discouraged by the irrationality of the system; he has been able to participate in other venues. KEAP is not about kids like my son who have the will to participate despite the barriers. KEAP is about all those kids that are not heard from again. KEAP is about girls basketball programs that can't get gym time because they are not sanctioned by an elite association. KEAP is about the fact that the Edina associations prefer to give back unused gym time to the school system rather than use it for unsanctioned programs. KEAP is about the blind support given to the sports associations by Park Board staff. KEAP is about the unfair, unequal allocation of sports facilities time among youth programs based on association politics. KEAP is about the 70% fall off in youth sports participation that we observe nationally and in Edina. Parents need a safe venue where they can raise concerns about their kids' participation in our publicly sponsored sports programs. The proposed independent youth sports council should be designed to provide this safe venue. This statement has been approved and adopted by the KEAP Board of Directors for public distribution.
