ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Amendments to City Personnel Policy: 1) Language Regarding Social Media in Section 3 of the City of Eagan Information Technology Policy and 2) Language Regarding Political Activities of Employees Added to Section 28 of the Personnel Policy Ir I: mo Background: • In its 2011 goals retreat the City Council identified the importance of the City stepping up its social media presence as part of its wider goal to "implement proven technologies to ... enhance communication with the community ..." • A cross - departmental team has reviewed social media policies and approaches by various cities and states and also recommended go- forward approaches for Eagan. Following a check -in with the City Council at the June 14 work session, the Council directed a social media policy addition to the City's Personnel Policy be placed on the June 21 City Council Agenda. • In mid -May the City launched a redesigned Website meant to provide greater visual identity, support and flexibility for growing Eagan's social media presence. • The policy developed will now allow the City to engage the widest possible number of residents with social media regarding City services and offerings while receiving important and timely feedback. The City's social media presence on Facebook and Twitter will also direct readers back to the City's Website for more and additional information. The recommendation is to allow comments on City social media sites to build trust and transparency, yet content that is ugly, offensive, profane, denigrating or out of context, will be rejected and removed by City staff in consultation with the City Administrator. A set of guidelines regarding the submission of inappropriate content and reserving the City's right to remove such content will be posted for the public. • Given the transitory nature of many postings (which do not have to be retained), it is not anticipated that record retention and data practice requirements will be burdensome. • After an initial trial period, other Facebook or Twitter pages will be considered, but the intended communication purposes /objectives/benefits of additional sites must be spelled out as well as who will be maintaining the site, and the intended frequency of posts and updates. Attachments: I►�C�7T III Section 2 — Information Technology Definitions Social Media: is a conversation in print. Social Media includes the various online technology tools that enable people to communicate easily via the internet to share information and resources. Social Media can include text, audio, images, podcasts, and other multimedia communications. Section 3 - Information Technology Use 3.11 Social Media A social media presence is yet another way government can communicate to the broadest possible audience of those it serves, and residents can communicate with their government. Social media reaches populations that do not necessarily consume traditional media. The City of Eagan's intent is to increase transparency, immediacy, and feedback, while striking a balance between user access and network security. The purpose of this social media policy is to ensure the appropriate content and conduct across communication channels and the consistent use of City marks and messages when using Social Media related websites. As part of a broader communications strategy, the City of Eagan will use social media sites, as appropriate, to distribute time - sensitive information about our programs, events and services, and changes that occur in this fast moving world of information, and as a means for marketing /promotion. However, the City's official website, located at www.cityofea ag n.com remains the City's primary online medium for communicating information to the public. Employee Access An employee's use of social media is for the express purpose of communicating the City of Eagan's services, programs and policies, as authorized by the City Council, and as directed by supervisory staff. Access from City -owned devices is for professional use only, and subject to the City's personnel, computer usage, and links polices. Social Media Account Management The City of Eagan has an overriding interest in deciding what can be communicated on its behalf and how that will be done on the City's social media sites. Primarily that will be done on one City Facebook page capable of supporting content from all City departments. However, designated enterprise programs (the Eagan Community Center, Cascade Bay, and the Civic Arena) and Eagan Television (E -TV) may have separate social media accounts if approved according to the requirements of the rest of the policy. Further, after an initial trial period with one City Facebook page, it is contemplated that departments may make application for a separate departmental page if the same information is also copied to the City's Facebook page. Web editors, or other designated n4v employees, will be granted access to post and remove content, with each department expressly authorizing its social media posters. The creation of all social media sites for the City is subject to the approval of the Communications Director, with appeal to the City Administrator or designee. Requests must spell out in writing the mission (intended communication purpose for the site), objectives, and likely benefits of the business decision to use social media, as well as who will be maintaining the site, and the intended frequency of posts and updates. Upon authorization for a social media site, each maintainer of that site (whether that be Communications, Cascade Bay, etc.) must provide the IT manager with a list of its City - maintained social media sites, including login -in and password information. It is the responsibility of the department maintaining a City social media site to immediately provide the IT manager with any changes in password or log -in information to those sites. Subject to the City of Eagan's social media policies regarding appropriate content and citizen conduct, City- maintained social media content or sites may be edited, modified, or removed by the City at any time and without notice. Acceptable Use Information posted or distributed on City- maintained social media sites must also be available on the City's Website. All posts should reflect a clear purpose. Social media sites will contain links directing users back to the City's official website for more in -depth information and resources. No information should be posted exclusively to social media sites unless the posting is particularly time sensitive in nature. Emergency postings should also be posted to the City's Website simultaneously or as soon as possible, thereafter. Employee Conduct Emerging social media platforms provide new ways to engage with citizens and customers to build stronger relationships, civic engagement, and "connectedness." Employees who are designated to participate in social media are expected to follow these guiding principles: • Customer protection and respect are paramount • Postings should be related to that department's specific function and subject matter expertise. • Postings must be factual, respectful, and on -point and should reasonably avoid being thought of as spam, off -topic or offensive. • Per the City's public relations policy (Section 26 of the Personnel Policy), employees must notify the City Communications department of any media contacts received related to your posts. Further, under no circumstances should non - department head personnel comment to reporters regarding matters of City policy, opinion or interpretation. • Replies to individual constituent inquiries received via social media sites must be retained per the City's record retention schedule, and if others would benefit from the response, copy it to the Citizen Request inventory of questions and answers. 0 Appropriate Content If user content is positive or negative, but relevant to the discussion topic, then the content will remain, regardless of whether it is favorable or unfavorable to the City of Eagan. Content that is ugly, offensive, profane, denigrating, or out of context, may be rejected and removed by the Communications Department in consultation with the City Administrator or designee, in the interest of time, by individual department social media editors with notification to the Communications Director while following record retention requirements. Posting private data is expressively prohibited. Prohibited content also includes: • Comments in support or opposition to political campaigns, referenda or other ballot measures; • Comments unrelated to the topic; • Sexual content or sexual innuendo; • Content that promotes or perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race, creed, religion, gender, marital status, orientation, or any other class protected by state or federal law, per Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; • Solicitations of commerce; • Information that may compromise the safety and security of the public or public systems; • Content that encourages illegal activity or violates the legal ownership rights of another; • When in doubt, leave it out. If uncertain about making a post, check with a supervisor. Each department may set posting approval guidelines beyond those described in this policy. Copyright requirements apply when selecting photos or content for social media sites. Do not use copyright material without permission. Photos of City employees will only be posted of those who have signed a Photo Release. Disclosure and Retention Typically social media postings merely referencing something on the City's Website or that are transient in nature are not considered official records and therefore, do not have to be retained. However, communications made through City- related social media that go beyond what is on the City's Website, or are not posted on the City's Website may be considered public records pursuant to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Chapter 13) and record retention statutes, [MS 138.17]. Specifically, a record must be kept of any comments received from members of the public on City social media sites which the City intends to delete. All retained postings will be deleted in 30 days, per section 3.8. Employees on or off duty on the scene of emergencies, incidents or events are prohibited from posting photos of on -scene public safety incidents on their personal social media sites or disclosing or discussing private data or internal procedures or methods that would tend to compromise operational safety of the City or its departments. IQ 3.12 Personal Use of Information Technology Equipment 4. Social Media City sponsored Social Media sites shall not be used for any personal use. Refer to Section 3.13. 3.13 Prohibited - Inappropriate Non - business Use Use of City computers, software, website, social media sites and all other City peripherals for the following is strictly prohibited at all times: • For profit, non - profit, or commercial activities, including but not limited to consulting, typing services, software development, real estate, or M bme of personal business activity. • For any other public office or employment which is incompatible with City employment responsibilities. • For any political or religious activities. • As a platform to share personal viewpoints, regardless if they represent the City official position or not. • For sharing confidential data or any City related data including but not limited to; photos, videos, web - streams, uniforms, logos, patches, or any related equipment or software. • For illegal or unethical activities. • For annoying or harassing other individuals. • For wagering, betting, or selling chances. • For fund raising except for City approved activities. • For use or possession of security auditing software and /or hacker tools. • For attempting to gain unauthorized access to a system. • For non -City blogging. ■ For broadcast mailing lists.

These types of files can be large and affect the network or PC performance or carry viruses. The policies related to e -mail and Internet use have the same force and effect during non - business hours as it does during business hours. PERSONNEL POLICY SECTION 28: POLITICAL ACTIVITIES OF EMPLOYEES 28.1 City employees are neither appointed to nor retained in municipal employment on the basis of their political activity, but rather on the basis of their merit. 28.2 No employee of the City of Eagan shall, directly or indirectly, during his or her hours of employment solicit or receive funds or at any time use his or her authority or official influence to compel any officer or employee to apply for membership in or become a member of any organization, or to pay or promise to pay any assessment, subscription, or contribution, or to take part in any political activity. 28.3 City social media sites, internet, intranet, email or any other Cityquipment may not be used as a political platform. 12. Agenda Memo June 21, 2011 Regular City Council Meeting D. AUTHORIZE THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR REPLACEMENT FIRE ENGINE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize the advertisement for bids to purchase replacement fire engine for 2012. FACTS: • Unit 1220 is a 1988 Peterbilt Fire Engine. It is planned to be replaced in 1220. The vehicle condition index (VCI) for unit 1220 is a 21 which places it in the needs immediate consideration for replacement category. • A replacement fire engine takes about 10 -12 months for delivery once the order has been placed. The Fire Departments Truck Committee would like authorization to seek bids for the replacement 2012 truck now, with payment due upon delivery in the spring of 2012. • The Truck Committee is recommending that this engine be replaced with a new fire engine with an articulating, elevated water tower on the body. The elevated water tower gives the city a partial "ladder truck" credit for our ISO insurance rating at a fraction of the cost of an additional ladder truck. • During our last ISO rating (1997) the rater recommended that Eagan consider a third ladder device with an elevated water stream due to the amount of buildings over three stories and the amount of large commercial /industrial facilities in Eagan. True ladder trucks cost between $800,000 to over a million dollars and are usually very large vehicles that are sometimes hard to fit into the area that we need an elevated water stream. The articulating water tower is added to a normal sized fire engine and adds approximately $80,000 to the overall cost of a fire engine. They also require a lot less maintenance than a ladder truck does. • The City of Eagan has an opportunity to save additional dollars on this unit by purchasing a demonstrator unit that will be on display at a national fire show in the spring of 2012. • The current Unit 1220 will be sold by the sealed bid process upon delivery of the replacement fire engine in 2012. • Funding for the replacement fire engine would come from the Fire Apparatus Revolving Fund. • The Fire Department will bring the bids back to a future Council Meeting to present to the City Council for approval.

PRIVATE STREET NAME SIGNAGE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize the advanced acquisition of private street name signage from the 2012 CIP program year. FACTS: • On June 7, 2011, the City Council adopted the 5 yr Capital Improvement Plan for 2012- 2016 and also authorized the implementation of the 2012 improvements. Included in the 2012 improvements is the scheduled replacement of street name signs at 112 public /private street intersections at a programmed cost of $50,000 to be financed by the Major Street Fund. • In addition to the Federally mandated retro- reflectivity upgrade, public street name signs will contain white letters on the traditional green background while private street name signs will contain white letters on a blue background with the additional wording "Private ". This color differentiation will provide enhanced identification of private streets for added clarity and benefit for emergency response services, traffic and code enforcement personnel and education of the general public as well as prospective property owners. • Due to significant discount pricing that just recently became available (but only till the end of this month), the City could enjoy a savings of approximately $8,450 (36% of material costs, 17% of total estimated project costs) by purchasing the signs by June 22, 2011. • All street name signs will be installed in public rights -of -way by city transportation operations staff.

This change provides for the same finished street section as the recycle/ reclaim method, while reducing the amount of needed subgrade stabilization experienced on similar previous projects. • The change order provides for a total ADD of $5,769.80 (0.4% of original contract). The cost of the additional work will be the responsibility of the City's Major Street Fund ($4,151.82) and special assessments ($1,617.98) as identified in the feasibility report for Project 1049. • The change order has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action. 17 Agenda Information Memo June 21, 2011 Eagan City Council Meeting I. LEBANON HILLS REGIONAL PARK IMPROVEMENTS WETLAND REPLACEMENT PLAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve a Wetland Replacement Plan for Lebanon Hills Regional Park Visitor Center Improvements. FACTS: • As part of the Phase II Lebanon Hills Regional Park (LHRP) improvements, Dakota County Parks is proposing improvements to the entrance road, main parking lot, and overflow parking lot at the LHRP visitor's center, located in the City of Eagan. Additional amenities include a trail and overlook at McDonough Lake. Phase I improvements were implemented in 2001. The proposed project would fill 0.19 acres (8,485 ft 2 ) of wetlands.

CONTRACT 09 -20, FIRE SAFETY CENTER/ STATION TRAIL STREET & UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Change Order No. 6 to Contract 09 -20 (Fire Safety Center/ Station Trail — Site Grading & Utilities) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • Contract 09 -20 provides for the site grading, building pad preparation, and utility services, including sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer, for the Fire Safety Center as presented in a schematic design to the City Council on August 11, 2009. • On March 16, 2010, the City Council awarded the base bid for Contract 09 -20 for these improvements. • Change Order #6 provides for four items: • Bituminous wear course price increase as a result of postponing the placement of the final pavement surface until spring 2011 due to many weather- related delays throughout the 2010 construction year. (ADD $6,395.40). • Additional traffic control for Yankee Doodle Road concrete median work; needed double lane closure for median modifications to provide full access for emergency responses. The work required traffic control for a two day period, where a one -day traffic control was anticipated in the original contract. (ADD $5,018.37). • Hydrant relocation outside of the antique fire truck bay needed to provide more space for vehicle turning movements. (ADD $1,960.00). • East parking lot island curb modifications needed to allow more space for larger delivery vehicle turning movements, reducing damage to the landscaped area in this island and allowing larger vehicles to navigate the turns without driving up onto the curb. (ADD $3,934.00). • Change Order #6 provides for a total ADD of $17,307.77 (2.79% of original contract). The cost of the additional work will be the responsibility of a combination of the City's Fire Safety Campus Fund ($15,854.12) and special assessments ($1,453.65) to benefiting properties under Project 1012. • This change order has been reviewed by the Fire Department and Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action. Iq Agenda Information Memo June 21, 2011 Eagan City Council Meeting K. CONTRACT 09 -18, DUCKWOOD DRIVE OVERPASS BRIDGE & STREET IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract 09 -18 (Duckwood Drive Overpass — Bridge & Street Improvements) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • Contract 09 -18 provides for the extension of Duckwood Drive, connecting Federal Drive with Pilot Knob Road, over I -35E as a new grade separated crossing (overpass). Contract 09 -18 also includes reconfiguration of the existing intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive, including the traffic signal, modification to the right -turn lane for the northbound 1 -35E ramp from Pilot Knob Road, and bituminous trails on both sides of Duckwood Drive. • On April 5, 2011, the City Council awarded the bid for Contract 09 -18 for the bridge, street and associated improvements to Lunda Construction, Inc. • Change Order #1 provides for the following items: o Salvage and reinstall additional street sign on I -35E exit ramp per MnDOT request. MnDOT requested the placement of an existing lane designation sign outside of the construction zone and its return upon project completion, contrary to their plan review comments (ADD $275.00). o Install business location sign for Precision Tune. An existing business identification sign directing customers to Precision Tune is to be removed and replaced as part of the construction. The significant time between the anticipated removal and replacement is of significant concern to the business (ADD $225.00). o Unit price adjustment for silt fence quantity in excess of 125% of contract proposal. Additional silt fence is required for adequate erosion control measures on site. MnDOT specifications allow the specified additional cost (ADD $510.00). o Enhanced erosion control method. The use of hydro - seed/mulch will better address the steeper slopes on the abutment embankments than standard straw mulch and seeding (ADD $2,250.00). o Modify installed storm sewer in west abutment embankment. The storm sewer design did not adequately address the extent of the 3:1 embankment slope on the west side of the freeway. Additional storm sewer pipe and structure builds are required. The consultant will cover all of the additional costs related to the contractor's return to and excavation of the completed work (ADD $10,323.50). • The change order provides for a total ADD of $13,583.50 (0.3% of original contract). The cost of the additional work will be the responsibility of the consultant ($4,903.50) and the City's Major Street Fund ($8,680.00). • The change order has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action.

CONTRACT 11 -10, FISH LAKE, IN -LAKE ALUM DOSING WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the final payment for Contract 1140 (Fish Lake In -Lake Alum Dosing — Water Quality Improvement) in the amount of $52,500.00 to Sweetwater Technology, and accept the improvements for perpetual City maintenance subject to warranty provisions. FACTS: Contract 11 -10 provided an "in- lake" surface application of aluminum sulfate (alum) to Fish Lake as one of the scheduled Best Management Practices recommended in the Fish Lake Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan. The contract also included the application of sodium aluminate, a buffering agent, to mitigate a potential reduction in pH that can stress fish populations. The purpose of the in -lake alum dosing was to control phosphorus released from existing sediment that is recycled within Fish Lake during certain environmental conditions. The project was completed in anticipation of the completion of Contract 09 -04 (Fish Lake Alum Dosing and Settling Basin) to reduce phosphorus entering the lake in stormwater through the construction of the alum settling basin and restarting the alum injection system at the Hurley Lake stormwater lift station. These improvements have been completed, inspected by representatives of the Public Works Department, and found to be in order for favorable Council action of final payment and acceptance for perpetual maintenance subject to warranty provisions. 2.1 Agenda Information Memo June 21, 2011, Eagan City Council Meeting CONSENT AGENDA M.

APPROVE GRANT AGREEMENT FOR DEED REDEVELOPMENT GRANT APPLICATION FOR CEDAR GROVE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To Approve a Grant Agreement for a Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Redevelopment Grant for infrastructure improvements in Cedar Grove Redevelopment District. FACTS: ➢ The Redevelopment Grant Program was established by The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) in 1998 to help communities with the costs of redeveloping blighted industrial, residential, or commercial sites and putting land back into productive use. If awarded, grants pay up to half of redevelopment costs for a qualifying site, with a 50- percent local match. ➢ Eligible uses of grant funds include land acquisition, demolition, infrastructure improvements, soil stabilization, ponding or other environmental infrastructure and adaptive reuse of buildings. ➢ On July 20, 2010, the City Council authorized submittal of a grant application for the Cedar Grove Boulevard Improvement Project. The Eagan application requested assistance with the upgrade of Cedarvale Boulevard (to be renamed Cedar Grove Boulevard) to correspond with the conceptual layout of the core development area. ➢ On September 17, 2010, the City was notified that it had been awarded $559,986 toward the cost of the project. ➢ The DEED Grant Agreement includes a section defining the property on which the improvement would be installed. Since the Cedar Grove Boulevard project was authorized and is being bid with two alignment alternates, it was decided to hold the final approval and execution of the Grant Agreement until bids were received and one of the alignments was selected by the City Council. ➢ On June 10, 2011, DEED staff forwarded information to grantees that in anticipation of a possible state government shutdown, work on DEED funded projects should not continue past June 30, 2011, pending approval of a new state budget and funding authorizations. In discussions with DEED staff, however, the City was encouraged to define the alignment and approve the Grant Agreement, so it can be executed by all parties prior to July 1, 2011. Staff is requesting a selection of the alignment in the project business item under Old Business.

City Clerk 35 Agenda Information Memo Eagan City Council Meeting June 21, 2011 Consent Agenda ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: R. APPROVE 2011 Funding Commitment for Extending City Fiber and Authorize Preparation and Issuance of RFPs for Construction FACTS: • On June 14 the Eagan City Council met in work session and reviewed the recommendations from the Eagan Finance Committee from its June 2, 2011 meeting regarding the extension of City fiber and duct. • Per the recommendations of the full City Council this item was directed to the June 21" consent agenda. • Extending City fiber and duct to business locations of the City was a key recommendation of the 2010 report by the City's broadband consultant and on January 4, 2011, the Eagan City Council made a policy commitment to make that extension over the next few years and to make capacity from that fiber available for open access lease by any provider offering telecommunications services to Eagan businesses. • The Council's resolution additionally noted that "the placement and construction of a colocation facility/data center and the installation and extension of City -owned fiber infrastructure are in the public interest and necessity as critical infrastructure" and are consistent with the City Council's goal to "Ensure the economic competitiveness of Eagan's business and residential communities in the global marketplace by anticipating and addressing the evolving " infoatructure" bandwidth, capacity and speed needs of Eagan's residents, businesses and employers." Based on Finance Committee review of financial pro formas, it is contemplated that a preliminary commitment of up to $2 million to get through the fourth year of the project will be needed, using non -tax dollars. However, a year -one funding commitment of $1 million is being made at this time, pending the results of RFPs to determine the precise pricing for year one objectives. • The City Council directed to its June 21 meeting staff authorization to prepare and issue the requests for proposals. • The same attachments as were included in the June 14 Council packet are below. ATTACHMENTS: ➢ Copy of June 2, 2011 Finance Committee Meeting Notes on page 317 . ➢ Copies of the Financial Summary and Build Out Assumptions on pages and FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING NOTES JUNE 2, 2011 12:00 PM CONFERENCE ROOMS 2A &B Committee members present: Mayor Maguire and Councilmember Bakken City staff present: City Administrator Hedges, Assistant to the City Administrator Miller, Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke, Community Development Director Hohenstein, Chief Financial Officer Pepper, and Communications Director Garrison. Guests present: Andrew Cohill and Sid Boswell, consultants with Design Nine I. BROADBAND FIBER EXTENSION PLAN AND PHASING City Administrator Hedges introduced the item, noting the purpose of today's discussion is to determine the parameters of the proposed phasing of City fiber extension, and the associated costs /expected return on investment for the creation of open access fiber routes for business use. Hedges noted that staff is also seeking a recommendation from the Committee as to whether the Council should authorize preparation of RFPs to determine precise pricing for year -one objectives. Communications Director Garrison introduced Consultants Andrew Cohill and Sid Boswell from Design Nine, who reviewed a City fiber map with the committee. It was noted that a connection fee of approximately $500 would be proposed to be paid by the provider or customer. Mr. Cohill noted that ongoing marketing, branding, and public awareness campaigns would be necessary for the success of the project. The Committee reviewed the financial summary proposed for the fiber extension. City Administrator Hedges pointed out the modest staffing within support services that would be needed for the program, but acknowledged that the City would need to be very cautious not to overstaff the program. The Committee discussed an exit strategy should the fiber extension project not meet the expectations of the City. Mr. Cohill noted that the city would be in the position to sell the fiber network and suggested that the City would likely be able to recoup its initial investment. The Committee also discussed future opportunities to extend fiber to different markets in the community. Upon further discussion, the Finance Committee voiced their consensus that they are comfortable with the proposed approach and financing of the fiber extension. The Committee recommended a funding allocation of up to $2 million to get through the fourth year of the project. The Committee also made a recommendation that the City Council take formal action to authorize preparation of RFPs to determine precise pricing for year one objectives. The Committee recommended that the City Council receive an overview on the fiber extension being proposed at the June 14 City Council workshop, with formal action to follow at the June 21 regular City Council meeting. 31 EE L LL C _O CL E N Q O .

Agenda Information Memo June 21, 2011, Eagan City Council Meeting VI. PUBLIC HEARING A. EASEMENT VACATION (OUTLOTS A & E STONEHAVEN 1 sT ADDITION), FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND FINAL PLAT ( STONEHAVEN 2 ADDITION) - LENNAR CORP. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: 1. To approve the Vacation of public drainage, utility and street easements as described within Outlots A & E, Stonehaven 1" Addition; and 2. To approve a Final Planned Development (Stonehaven 2 nd Addition) for 53 single - family homes and 24 twinhome units, located west of Wescott Woodlands along Duckwood Drive; and 3. To approve a Final Plat (Stonehaven 2nd Addition) for 53 single- family lots, 24 twinhome lots, and 4 outlots, located west of Wescott Woodlands along Duckwood Drive. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Councilmembers present FACTS: ➢ The Preliminary Planned Development and Preliminary Subdivision for the Stonehaven development were approved by the City on March 16, 2010. The approval was for 263 units of single - family, twin - homes, and townhomes, and future 100 -unit multiple - family senior building upon approximately 115 acres. ➢ Stonehaven I s' Addition received Final PD and Final Subdivision approval on June 15, 2010, for 39 single- family homes, one community lot and several outlots for future development phases. Public easements were dedicated on the outlots of Stonehaven lst Addition to provide for public drainage. Easement Vacation ➢ On May 10, 2011, City staff received a petition from Lennar Corporation, developer of the Stonehaven development, requesting the Vacation of all public drainage & utility easements within Outlots A & E, Stonehaven 1 st Addition. ➢ The purpose of the request is to allow the recording of a Final Plat of the properties for the proposed Stonehaven 2 Addition development as a residential development. The Vacation of Easements will clean up the proposed plat by avoiding any underlying recorded dedications. ➢ The Final Plat of Stonehaven 2 n will address and incorporate all necessary public drainage and utility easements on this property. 4.3 ➢ Council action on the Vacation of Easements needs to precede the Council action on the Stonehaven 2 nd Addition Final Subdivision. ➢ Notices for the public hearing were published in the legal newspaper and sent to all potentially affected and /or interested parties for comment prior to the scheduled public hearing. No objections to the proposed vacation have been received. ➢ The request has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action concurrent with approval of Stonehaven 2 nd Addition. Final Planned Development and Final Subdivision ➢ The proposed Stonehaven 2 nd Addition is consistent with the preliminary Stonehaven approval in March 2010. ➢ Much of the site was graded with the first phase of construction, which occupies the western and southwestern portion of the site. The construction of Duckwood Drive through the site to Wescott Woodlands also was completed with the first phase of construction. ➢ Stonehaven 2 n Addition occupies the area north and south of Duckwood Drive, east of Stonehaven 1 st Addition. ➢ Public open space and public trail established with Stonehaven 1 St Addition are continued with Stonehaven 2 nd Addition, following the Open Space and Trail Phasing Plan previously submitted by the developer. ➢ The open space will be owned and maintained by the Homeowners' Association. The City will maintain the trail and land within 6' on either side of the trail. A Conservation Easement and Trail License Agreement have been prepared by the City Attorney for the open space and public trail. ➢ The Open Space Management Plan submitted with Stonehaven 1 st Addition also is made part of the Stonehaven 2 nd Addition Development Agreement and the Final Planned Development Agreement. ➢ All documents are anticipated to be in order for execution at the City Council meeting on June 21, 2011.

CONTRACT 11 -08, CEDAR GROVE BOULEVARD STREET & UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Consider Contract 11 -08 (Cedar Grove Boulevard Street & Utility Improvements), provide direction to staff regarding the alternate bids and continue action on the item to July 5, 2011. FACTS: • Contract 11 -08 provides for the street realignment, upgrade and utility improvements of Cedar Grove Boulevard (formerly Sibley Memorial Highway) within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area in northwest Eagan (City Project No. 1051). • On March 1, 2011, the City Council held a public hearing for Project 1051. After public testimony, the Council approved Phase 1 improvements of the project, including two street alignment options and the construction of a trail along Cedar Grove Parkway, and authorized the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. • On April 5, 2011, the City Council authorized the preparation of preliminary plans for parking lot improvements at 3830 Sibley Memorial Highway in the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. This part of the project is intended to provide for shared and overflow parking for Jensen's Supper Club, Cedarvale Lanes and the future development of the property to the east, lying between those businesses and the Silver Bell Road, Cedar Grove Boulevard intersection. • On May 17, 2011, the Council approved the plans and authorized the advertisement for solicitation of competitive bids for Contract 11 -08. • In 2008, the Council approved the use of best -value solicitation of bids, as allowed by State statutes, providing for the consideration of bidders expected performance in relation to their submitted bid. At 10:30 a.m. on June 13, technical performance proposals from each bidder were received for this project. At 10:30 a.m. on June 16, formal bids were received for this project. A copy of the technical score and bid summary is enclosed. All bids have been reviewed for compliance with the bid specifications and accuracy on unit price extensions and summations. • Bid schedules were received for all improvements as previously directed by the City Council: o Phase 1 street & utility improvements (base bid or alternate bid) o Cedar Grove Parkway trail o Parking lot improvements • These four bid schedules provide for eight possible combinations of contract award for consideration by the City Council: o Phase 1 base bid o Phase 1 base bid + Parking lot o Phase 1 base bid + Trail o Phase 1 base bid + Parking lot + Trail ss o Phase 1 alternate bid o Phase 1 alternate bid + Parking lot o Phase 1 alternate bid + Trail o Phase 1 alternate bid + Parking lot + Trail • The Cedar Grove Master Developer, Pratt Development, and the owners of the remaining business properties within the core redevelopment area, Jensen's Supper Club and Cedarvale Lanes, have reviewed the road project alternatives. In order to present the most finished street appearance possible — finished landscaping, lighting, etc. — the owners support the shorter of the two street construction alternatives (Phase 1 alternate bid) that would install all improvements and then provide for the street to reconnect to the current boulevard (Old Hwy 13) until a future phase of the project can be completed. In order to maintain as much flexibility as possible for prospective development partners on the west end of the core area, Len Pratt also supports the shorter alternative, that would ultimately permit either a connection to the south to Cedar Grove Parkway or an extension of the Boulevard west parallel to the current roadway. The alternate chosen is at the discretion of the City Council. The two road alignment alternatives were developed for bidding purposes and staff has determined that neither alternative is technically superior to the other. • For reasons noted below, staff is recommending that the Council consider the alternates and provide direction to staff in their regard, but continue action on the award of bid until July 5, 2011. ISSUES: • A portion of the funding for the road improvement project consists of a DEED Redevelopment Grant in the amount of $559,986. The City's grant agreement with DEED has been on hold pending direction regarding the street alignment to be approved for the project, because the agreement includes a section for the property description. If the Council provides direction on the preferred roadway alignment alternate, the final executed agreement can be hand delivered to DEED, for the purpose of securing state signatures prior to June 30. • While the grant agreement can be completed prior to June 30, the City has received notification from DEED that absent "legislatively authorized appropriations as of July 1, 2011, all work, activity and performances under our contracts must be suspended as of that date, pending authorized appropriations." Given the timing of this item relative to the potential state shutdown, it is staff's recommendation that the City Council continue consideration of formal approval of the contract until July 5, 2011. • If a state budget settlement is reached prior to the July 1, 2011, deadline, the item would be in order for consideration. If a shut down has occurred, the Council can make an informed decision at that time as to whether or not to proceed with the project. • The parking lot improvement project is dependent upon the final negotiation and execution of an operation and easement agreement between the EDA as owner of the parking lot property and the owners of Jensen's Supper Club and Cedarvale Lanes. Staff, the City Attorney and the owners have reviewed a draft agreement and the 54 owners are in the process of reviewing it with their legal counsel. Their review may or may not be completed prior to June 21. • If the award of contract is continued for two weeks, it will provide additional time to complete those negotiations. If the negotiations take longer than that, the owners are open to the alternative of rejecting bids at this time and rebidding the project for 2012 construction. The owners strongly support the shared parking concept and would like to see the project proceed. The parties understand, however, that the project should not be initiated until access and cross parking easements are in place. • The parking lot project is partially funded by portions of the City's 2010 and 2011 CDA RIG fund allocations. The 2011 funding would need to be expended by the end of 2012 and CDA staff has confirmed that the City may ask for an administrative extension of the 2010 allocation to the end of 2012 as well. • If the project is not awarded at this time and is rebid in the winter for spring 2012 construction, it is possible that the City could apply to the RIG program for additional funds to fully fund the parking lot improvement from that source. If the project proceeds at this time, the difference between RIG funds and the bid amount would need to be made up from TIF.

ZONING PERMIT DISCUSSION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To Approve an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.70, by adding Subd. 29, Zoning Permit, as a Performance Standard. FACTS: ➢ There are a number of property improvement activities that do not require a Building Permit or any formal review by Planning, Building and/or Engineering staff. These include accessory structures 120 SF (or less) in size, patios and sidewalks, sport and tennis courts, fences, retaining walls (less than four feet in height), etc. ➢ Certain improvements that have been made to properties over the years have resulted in the need for the property owner to seek a Variance or a lot line adjustment (replat or subdivision) due to a private improvement resulting in a non - conforming situation that requires correction before the property can be sold or granted a Building Permit for additional improvements. ➢ The APC first heard this item at their March 22, 2011 meeting and failed to recommend approval because of concern the language was too broad. Staff worked with APC at a workshop and then further with the City Attorney to create ordinance language that better reflected the APC's understanding of the intent of this tool. ➢ The APC held a Public Hearing on May 24, 2011 and they are recommending approval.

As you may know, the Minnesota State Legislature adjourned May 23, 2011, without appropriating money to fund the operations of state government for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2011. State agencies operate on a biennial budget. Funds are appropriated by the Minnesota Legislature every two years, with each fiscal year beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 of the following calendar year. Our current biennial budget is due to end after June 30, 2011. In the absence of legislation specifically appropriating funds for the continuing operations of state agencies for the next biennium, we will have no or very limited authority to expend or release fiends to pay for goods or services after June 30, 2011. In this event, expenditures will be limited to fund or support only critical life, health, and safety functions of state government. Because we do not know whether the biennial budget process will conclude in time to avoid a disruption to our operations, we must advise all contractors, vendors and grantees that in the absence of legislatively authorized appropriations as of July 1, 2011, all work, activity and performances under our contracts must be suspended as of that date, pending authorized appropriations, as will all payments required of this agency under those contracts. In the event that any contract concerns a critical state function, as described above, you will be notified by separate letter, publication, bulletin or other appropriate means. We will work to keep you informed of progress regarding legislative authorization of appropriations, and we will make every reasonable effort to issue public notices promptly when budgets are approved and contract performance may be resumed. We do suggest that you monitor state web sites, bulletins and media publications for further information.

Ridley, AICP SUMMARY OF REQUEST The City of Eagan is requesting approval of an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.70, by adding Subd. 29, relating to the implementation of a Zoning Permit process. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 5 states, in part: The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two - thirds of all members of the council. BACKGROUND/HISTORY There are a number of property improvement activities that do not require a Building Permit or any formal review by Planning, Building and/or Engineering staff. These include accessory structures 120 SF (or less) in size, patios and sidewalks, sport courts, fences, retaining walls (less than four feet in height), etc. The City Council and the Advisory Planning Commission reviewed information and discussed the attributes of a Zoning Permit process at work sessions and the City Council directed staff to work with the City Attorney's office on an amendment to implement the Zoning Permit on March 1, 2011. (0) Planning Report — Ordinance Amendment May 24, 2011 Page 2 On March 22, 2011, the Advisory Planning Commission held a Public Hearing and discussed the proposed amendment. No one from the public spoke at the hearing; however, the commission determined that the amendment language was not reflective of their previous discussions and that the impact of the amendment had the potential to be too broad. A new Public Hearing notice was published and the ordinance language has been modified to be more in line with the expectations of the commission. EXISTING CONDITIONS There are a number of examples of "non- building permit" improvements being made to properties over the years that have, when discovered, resulted in the need for the property owner to seek a Variance, property line adjustments (replat or subdivision) or CUP's (impervious surface) due to improvements resulting in a non - conforming situation that requires correction before the property can be sold or granted a Building Permit for additional improvements. EVALUATION OF REQUEST This type of permit would be required for improvements that do not require a Building Permit. The purpose of this type of review is to insure standard zoning requirements are adhered to, such as setbacks and impervious surface coverage, before an investment is made. Planning staff researched other communities to see how others manage these types of improvements. The city of Chanhassen has a program (handout attached) that we believe would provide Eagan staff the opportunity to educate property owners, provide information and suggest corrective measures, if necessary, before an investment is made and the site has been altered. Staff anticipates that the small amount of time invested at the front end will help eliminate a substantial amount of time (and expense) required of the property owner if an improvement is installed incorrectly and compliance or enforcement steps are required to correct it. Although this type of program will add an additional step, it is not anticipated to add significant time or expense to an improvement project. Also, approved Zoning Permits would be placed in the Parcel File for the given property and be available as proof that the improvement(s) made were reviewed and approved by City staff. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION Not all property improvements require a Building Permit but all property improvements are subject to City Code regulations. The intent of this program is to provide assistance and significant benefit to property owners at little or no cost. By insuring that investments made on property improvements are consistent with City Code standards, current and future owners of the property will have, or have access to, documentation that the improvements made were in compliance with the City Code. Planning Report — Ordinance Amendment May 24, 2011 Page 3 This program will allow City staff an opportunity to provide education at the front end that will help with compliance with standards that may not be known to the average property owner. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.70, by adding Subd. 29, Zoning Permit, as a Performance Standard. (03 ORDINANCE NO. 2ND SERIES AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER ELEVEN ENTITLED "LAND USE REGULATIONS (ZONING)" BY ADDING SECTION 11.70, SUBD. 29, REGARDING ZONING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS; AND BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 11.99.

B. Zoning Permit; Required. Prior to constructing, installing or erecting any building, structure, or other fixed, . upon any property within the City, a zoning permit from the City shall be obtained by the property owner.

A zoning permit application shall be denied if the proposed building, structure, or other 0 improvement fails to meet all requirements of this Chapter or other applicable provisions of the City Code.

Section 11.99, entitled "Violation a Misdemeanor" are hereby adopted in their entirety by reference as though repeated verbatim. Section 3 . Effective Date.

Ordinance Amendment - Zoning Permit Applicant Name:City of Eagan Application: Ordinance Amendment An Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11 relative to establishing a zoning permit File Number: 01- OR- 08 -03 -11 City Planner Ridley introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated March 15, 2011. He noted the background and history. Member Piper stated the benefit was understood avoiding problems on the back end but questioned the scope as the language appears extraordinarily broad, in that any improvement needs a permit. He questioned if the word "improvement" is defined in the code. Examples of his concerns include, paver stones in gardens and basketball hoops. He would prefer an approach where the permit would be required only in the top two or three circumstances that have been problematic. He stated that perhaps the City could accomplish as much with outreach and education to the public, inviting residents to discuss their projects with City staff and ensure they are in compliance with City codes, but without an ordinance requiring a permit. He added that the intent is good, but he is not sure this is the right way to implement it. Member Filipi concurred with comments from Member Piper. He said his specific concerns include swing sets and raised gardens as this may be overreaching. Member Dugan also shared similar comments and concerns. He stated this would be overly intrusive on the citizens for all small things, and cause more enforcement concerns for City staff. Member Jansma concurred with the other members. His expectation was that the zoning permit would be tied to anything requiring footings, or for hard surfaces on the property, such as fences, a new driveway or patio. Vice Chair Heaney questioned the inspection process, and whether it would occur before or after the improvement is made on the site. City Planner Ridley provided examples of raised gardens and basketball hoops where the result was problematic. He also mentioned retaining walls in easements can adversely affect drainage so should be reviewed before installation. He explained the zoning permit review process would be relatively quick. He said the ordinance is broad but intentionally so. He stated that if the improvement is minor, the review would also be minor. He explained the benefit to the homeowner by having the zoning permit document in the file. The site visit would occur only if questions arose during review and in most cases a follow up site visit would not be needed. Member Dugan questioned the zoning inspection fee and violation resulting in a misdemeanor. City Planner Ridley explained that the fee would be a part of the fee schedule, and a fee would be charged only if a site visit is required. The fee schedule is adopted in January and the fee would be considered with the 2012 schedule. Vice Chair Heaney opened the public hearing. 109 Advisory Planning Commission March 22, 2011 Page 9 of 10 There being no public comment, Vice Chair Heaney closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Member Filipi commented that he will vote against the action item, not that he is against the idea but he is not comfortable with the broad language in the draft ordinance, as presented. Member Piper moved, Member Filipi seconded a motion to recommend approval of an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.70, by adding Subd. 29, relating to the implementation of a Zoning Permit process. Member Dugan stated he would be voting against the item as well but added that he believed the Commission had did -not provided clear direction to staff. All voted opposed to motion.

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT UPDATE BY DEVELOPMENT TEAM ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive an update on marketing and related activity regarding the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Project from Len Pratt on behalf of Pratt Development and Jim McCaffrey of Cassidy Turley. FACTS: • On March 15, 2011, the EDA approved a Revised Redevelopment Agreement with Pratt Development to continue to serve as the Master Developer for the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District core area. As part of that agreement, it was anticipated that Mr. Pratt would engage the services of Cassidy Turley to serve as a marketing partner for the project. • It was also anticipated that the development and marketing team would provide periodic updates to the EDA to maintain communication and feedback on a regular basis. Since the March meeting, Mr. Pratt and Mr. McCaffrey have been active in preparing marketing materials and pursuing additional development partners and prospects. It would be timely for them to provide an update in that regard and receive feedback and respond to questions from the EDA. ATTACHMENTS: Development and Marketing Team memo on pages through 77 75 Marketing Summary —June 15, 2011 Custom marketing materials for the Village at Cedar Grove were prepared during April and early May in cooperation with the EDA, Pratt Development, and RLK. These include revised and updated concept plans designed to present to developers and users. The Offering Memorandum was finalized May 2 nd and all new signs were installed on site in very early May. Our initial contact with all targeted prospects began in mid -April and included both telephone outreach and face to face meetings. The offering of this site and its story of redevelopment has been placed in the hands of several different groups. The segments of the market that we have focused on begin with developers of all product types. These include senior housing, retail, and office developers, as well as market -rate multifamily developers. Hard -copy mailings and HTML email campaigns to these databases have been successful in generating follow -up discussions, and meetings are well underway with over 21 meetings concluded to date with various prospects. Direct contacts have been made with numerous retail users and commercial developers to sample and weigh interest in new development from many different aspects. Big Box retail users have been approached with mixed interest to date. Mailing and HTML emails to date include: • MNCAR (Minnesota Commercial Association of Real Estate) - html blast to 748 brokers in Minnesota • LoopNet- National Real Estate Exchange with an average of 2.3 million unique visitors monthly • Co -Star- National exposure to nearly 88,000 subscribers • Cassidy Turley - National exposure to our 940 brokers in 60 offices in 23 major markets • Cassidy Turley - Custom Cedar Grove website provides information at a prospect's fingertips- launched June 3` • MarketVolt HTML Email — Information sent to 309 area developers from our proprietary database • MarketVolt HTML Email — Information sent to 206 retailers focused on grocery, banks, sporting goods, grocery, theater groups, electronics, hotels operator a, child care and learning centers. • MarketVolt HTML Email — Information sent to Business Joumal Book of Lists top 25 colleges and health care providers The development world is still in a recovery mode and the good news is that developers are once again willing and able to consider new opportunities. What remains is a large degree of caution based on careful evaluation of location, consumer demand, demographics, debt and concern about resilience of a recovering economy to drive new development. The areas where we have seen the greatest interest to date are from potential senior housing developers. We are engaged in pro forma analysis with a highly qualified party at this time. Assisted Care operators and developers are being approached by both Pratt and Cassidy Turley to solicit interest in Cedar Grove. Market rate apartments have been more challenging due to strained economic feasibility to justify new construction. Rents, in many developers' opinions, are not strong enough yet in most suburban areas to drive new construction. Hospitality has been an area where more interest has emerged and that is good news. Meetings and discussions are underway with operators interested in more information and discussion as to how they can implement their models on this site. We are encouraged by this level of interest. cassidyturley.com Ito The office sector, as one might expect, is still in recovery mode and minimal interest has been encountered so far. With significant vacancy remaining in suburban markets, we will not likely see anyone leaping at the opportunity for office development at this time unless it is specifically user driven. We are optimistic as we have begun this effort and the systematic follow -up with all prospects is underway in earnest. Numerous meetings have been accrued to date and that pursuit will continue over time. cassidyturley.com Agenda Information Memo Eagan Economic Development Authority Meeting June 21, 2011 F.
