THE LONE OAK TREE....THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
CITY ADDRESSES WATER QUALITY
CONCERNS
Water Quality Management Plan
When people are asked to describe Eagan, they often refer to rolling hills and
woods surrounding numerous ponds and lakes. Throughout the community's rapid
growth, significant attention has been given to preserving these hills and trees.
Similarly, the City has had the same concerns for the quality of wetlands and water -
bodies. Over the past three years, at the direction of the City Council, a Com-
prehensive Water Quality Management Plan has been prepared. This Management
an includes a comprehensive inventory and classification system along with
cific water quality standards for each of these wetlands and waterbodies. A
r ioritization system has been established along with a three -year capital improve-
ment program and a long -term sampling and monitoring program. In addition,
detailed policies and recommendations have been formulated to address both the
impact associated with continued land development as well as with existing estab-
lished properties.
In order for this Management Plan to have a positive effect on restoring
and/or maintaining many of the wetlands and waterbodies within the community, it
will require additional financing beyond what is available in the General Fund
(property tax) budget. Subsequently, a Storm Water Utility Fund will be also con-
sidered with the proposed adoption of this Management Plan. It is proposed that
this utility fund would be financed through a "user fee" added to the quarterly
sewer and water utility bill.
Public Informational Meeting
The City Council and its staff are very desirous of receiving public input
regarding the proposed adoption of this Management Plan and funding
mechanism. Therefore, every property owner in the City of Eagan is invited to at-
tend a community informational meeting to be held at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, March
22, 1990, at the Municipal Center. At this meeting, the staff will present the con-
tents of the proposed Water Quality Management and Implementation Plan along
with the details of the proposed Storm Water Utility Fund. Information received
from residents at this meeting will be consolidated and forwarded to the City Coun-
cil for their information in considering the proposed adoption of this comprehen-
sive plan and funding program.
The City staff is advising that an active approach be taken to recognize and
serve one of the City's most valuable natural resources early in its development
ges. Otherwise, they feel it will be very difficult and expensive, if not impos-
sible, to correct these problems at a later date. All residents are encouraged to
share their interests in the City's efforts by attending the meeting and providing
their comments.

BOULEVARD LANDSCAPING
The City would like to remind all property owners that there are certain
specific restrictions as to what landscaping can be performed within public rights -
of - way. Of particular concern is the public boulevard area which is located from
the back of curbing to your property line (approximately 13 feet).
Although lawn areas may extend all the way to the curb line and are sub-
sequently maintained by the property owner, this boulevard area is public right -of-
way reserved solely for the installation of public utilities, snow storage and mail
boxes provided they are installed by the homeowner in accordance with Federal
specifications as provided by the local post office.
Any other structure, obstruction, or tree installed by the homeowner is in viola-
tion of City ordinance. If any homeowner presently has an obstruction located
within public right -of -way, the City requests that you remove it as soon as possible
so that you will not be in violation of an existing City ordinance. The Engineering
Division of the Public Works Department (454-8100) is available to answer any
questions property owners may have pertaining to the width of the boulevard and
property line locations. Your cooperation in compliance with this ordinance will
be greatly appreciated by the City and will eliminate the potential frustration and
liability associated with damages that may occur from an unauthorized installation
within the public boulevard right -of -way.

SPRING HYDRANT
FLUSHING
The City of Eagan Water Depart-
ment will begin it's spring fire hydrant
flushing in early April.
This is done to minimize the buil-
dup of iron and manganese in the
water supply system that can some-
times spot and stain clothing and
plumbing fixtures.
Flushing of hydrants will take ap-
proximately four to five weeks until
fmished.
You should be sure to check your
water before washing any clothes. If
by chance your clothing should be-
come discolored, please contact City
Hall at 454 -8100 for rust remover.
For the latest recorded message,
call the City Hotline at 454-1010.
UTILITY DEPARTMENT
STATS
Did you know that in 1989 your
Public Work's Utility Division...?
• Had 16 Wells, 2 Pressure Booster
Stations and 1 Treatment Plant.
• Had 4 Reservoirs holding 12 mil-
lion gallons of water.
• Pumped 2,321,348,00 gallons of
water to city residents.
• Made 54,000 meter readings.
• Hooked up 915 new homes and
businesses to our system.
• Cleaned 700,000 feet (133 miles)
of sewer lines.
SPRING CLEANUP
"STREET SWEEPING TIME"
As springtime arrives, the City
street maintenance crews begin sweep-
ing the streets of debris and accumu-
lated sand from our winter snow and
ice control. Depending on the
weather, this process usually starts
about the third week of March during
the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
ilk In the month of April, we operate
th two shifts between the hours of
5:00 a.m .and 9:30 p.m.
The cleaning of 190 centerline
miles of streets and over 450 cul -de-
sacs is accomplished with 2 mechani-
cal sweepers which deposit the sweep-
ings into dump trucks. The trucks
then haul the sweepings to a disposal
site.
The targeted completion date for
spring cleanup is May 15th. For maxi-
mum efficiency, a route progression
has to be followed to eliminate exces-
sive travel time. Keeping vehicles off
the street until it is swept will be ap-
preciated.
Thank you for your anticipated
cooperation and patience in helping to
keep our streets clean.

parking , street sweeping or
hydrant flushing information,

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
UPDATE
With spring just around the
corner, plans are underway for the
start of the 1990 construction season.
City of Eagan Project
The major City construction
project for 1990 is the reconstruction
of RAHN ROAD from Shale Lane to
Beau -De -Rue Drive. The reconstruc-
tion is planned to begin as soon as
weather permits in the spring with
completion in late fall.
Dakota County Projects
Dakota County has two major
roadway reconstruction projects which -
were started in 1989 and which will
resume as soon as weather permits in
the spring with completion planned for
late fall of 1990. LEXINGTON
AVENUE will be completed from Dif-
fley to Yankee Doodle Roads as well
as DIFFLEY ROAD from Heine
Strasse to I -35E. Dakota County will
also begin the reconstruction of
PILOT KNOB ROAD from Rebecca
Lane south into Apple Valley by mid-
summer.
All these projects will require
some temporary detours which will be
announced at a later date. Your
cooperation and patience during this
next construction season will be ap-
preciated.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
SIGNALS
Three traffic control signals are
programmed for installation during the
summer of 1990. These signals are
planned for the intersections of:
• Cliff Road at Beacon Hill Road,
• Blackhawk Road at Diffley Road,
• Cliff Road at Slaters Road.

YOU COUNT IN THE
CENSUS '90
The 1990 Federal Census is just
around the corner and Eagan resi-
dents are strongly encouraged to stand
up and be counted. On April 1, 1990,
you will receive a census form at your
home. By taking the time to fill out
the form and return it, you will be help-
ing yourself, Eagan and Minnesota in a
variety of ways.
CENSUS ANSWERS ARE CON-
FIDENTIAL Only the census bureau
can see your answers. No one else,
not immigration, the FBI, the IRS, the
courts, the military, welfare agencies -
not even the President of the United
States - can see your census answers.
It is against the law.
Accurate census figures are impor-
tant because many programs are based
on population. Legislative reappor-
tionment will likely favor the
metropolitan area for the first time in
Minnesota history in 1990 meaning
that state laws could better reflect
your interests than they have in the
past. On a broader scale, the size of
Minnesota's Congressional delegation
depends on census results.
Many state and federal funding
programs are based on population and
an accurate count could keep the local
funding contribution at a minimum.
Planning for social programs also re-
quires highly accurate demographics
to be certain that resources are ap-
plied to the appropriate age groups
and backgrounds.
In addition, regional priorities for
things like transportation are based on
concentrations of population. In short,
your services can be provided most ef-
ficiently and cost effectively IF you
count in the Census.
Keeping a handle on a growing
city like Eagan is very difficult, but you
can help us do it. Fill out and return
your census form early. If you do not
receive a form, contact the City at 454-
8100 or your local Census '90 office.

We had 15 winners throughout the year who received a total of $4,200 in
prizes. We will be continuing the Cash for Trash Lottery in 1990. Each week a ran-
domly selected address will be checked for having recycled materials set out by
7:00 a.m. on collection day. If the address has materials set out properly, $100 is
awarded to the resident(s). If a winner is not chosen that week, the prize accumu-
lates until a winner is found. Here is a list of the residents we surprised this past

Yard Waste Options for •
Spring!
As the spring growing season ap-
proaches, it is time to get those rakes
and mowers tuned for yard grooming
activities. As you begin to manage
your lawn this spring, keep these ideas
in mind: yard waste is easily separated,
makes a valuable resource and can be
costly to dispose of. As the Metro
Area ban o n yard waste took effect
January 1, 1990, you have a number of
options for handling your yard waste:
* Leave grass clippings on the
lawn. This is the most cost- effective
and environmentally sound way to
handle grass clippings. They decom-
pose, returning nutrients to the soil,
and never enter the waste stream.
* Start your own backyard com-
posting pile, or use grass clippings and
leaves as mulch around trees and
shrubs.
* Bag yard waste and take it to the
City operated . compost site or th
Dakota County Compost Facility
Lakeville.
* Ask your refuse hauler about
separate collections.
The EAGAN MUNICIPAL COM-
POST SITE is scheduled to open
April 1, 1990. Materials accepted will
include: grass, leaves and brush (prun-
ings) up to 6" in diameter. In order to
help with maintenance costs incurred
this season, a nominal fee will be
charged for materials brought to the
site. Specific details of the fee
schedule will be available when the
site is open this spring.

ment goal with 1,635 tons collected
from our curbside program plus 313
tons from the area drop -off locations
and over 5,700 cubic yards of material
from out city compost facility. Our
residential recycling goal for 1990 is
12% abatement.

GROWTH REPORT
The library's automated system can provide facts and figures to library staff
which were not readily available B.A. (before automa-
tion). A recent report indicated patron registration
figures at each library by place of residence of the
user. Currently, registered users at the Eagan Wes-
cott Branch Library amounted to 35,539. Of these,
21,250 live in Eagan, 4,974 live in Apple Valley, 3,005
live in Burnsville, 1,846 live in Rosemount and 1,519
live in Inver Grove Heights. Other communities make
up the remaining total.
The Wescott Library continues to serve more and more library users. The
total circulation figures for 1989 amounted to 641,297, an impressive 33.6% of the
total library usage in Burnhaven, Farmington, Hastings and West St. Paul.
NEW ARRIVALS
Under the "New Arrivals" banner located at the beginning of the fiction sec-
tion you will fmd a selection of currently popular titles such as Trust by George V.
Higgins, Sorceress of Darshiva by David Eddings, The Anastasia Syndrome by Mary
Higgins Clark, Rummies by Peter Benchley, Straight by Dick Francis, and The Glit-
ter and the Gold by Fred Mustard Steward. These "New Arrivals" may be checked
out for a two -week loan period, and the selection changes constantly as new books
are added.
RENTAL BOOKS
The selection in the rental book collection changes and grows continually so
you're sure to fmd something that is waiting to be checked out by you. In addition
to a selection of Arco publications, Resumes That Get Jobs, Air Traffic Controller,
Post Office Clerk- Carrier, the popular reading material includes Blood and Power
by Stephen Fox, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, Roseanne by Roseanne Barr,
and Toxic Parents by Susan Forward.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
The Friends' book sale will be held in the lower level meeting room on April
21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you have books to donate for this sale, they can be
brought to the library during open hours until the sale date. The proceeds from
this sale will purchase new materials, special books and sponsor special programs
for the Wescott Library. Friends of the Library also provide volunteer services to
support the many departments of the library.
ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM
The Wescott Library recently sponsored the training of 20 Laubach adult
literacy tutors. This group of newly - certified tutors includes 10 from the Eagan
area who wish to volunteer in the library's Technology for Adult Literacy Project.
The learners who have applied to TALP already are working with tutors. This is
an excellent opportunity for an adult who wishes to improve reading, spelling and
writing skills to request help. TALP offers free, one -to-one basic skills work, using
the Laubach method (emphasizing phonics) and computer- assisted learning
together.
HOURS
The Wescott Library is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and
Sundays between September and May from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Call 452 -9600 for

SAFETY WITH CATS
AND DOGS
by Kathleen Gilbertson, Animal Control
Officer
Each year in Eagan we have ap-
proximately 70 animal bites reported
to the police department. Many more
animal bites are never reported. Most
bites will occur on the animal's own
property and will be done to children.
Unfortunately, a number of bites will
involve children's faces. Not all
animals bite because they are aggres-
sive; many will bite because of fear.
The State of Minnesota has a specific
statute regarding "Potentially
Dangerous Dogs and Dangerous
Dogs." This statute does not mention
specific breeds but clearly allow
police departments to take direct ac-
tion regarding dogs that bite.
Here are some rules to remember:
• Do not approach a strange cat or
dog unless you are familiar with
shy or aggressive behavior.
• Never tease an animal, even "in
fun."
• Do not scream and run. You can
excite the animal and be bitten.
• Do not sneak up on an animal.
• Do not move toward an animal in
a threatening manner.
• Do not kick at the animal; if it
grabs your leg you can be pulled
down.
• If you can back away slowly, that
is the best bet. If there is no way
out, give your arm. the animal
,� y
• Remember where the bite oc-
curred and call Animal Control
through your police department.
• Wash the wound immediately and.
call your doctor.
• Remember, animals don't reason,
you do.
VOLUNTEER FIRE
DEPARTMENT SETS
STAGE FOR EXPLORER
POST
The Eagan Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment is now in its fmal stage of or-
ganizing its Fire Explorer Post after
months of planning. The Eagan Fire
Explorer Post is for residents of
Eagan, ages 14 to 18, who are inter-
ested in the fire service. "I think it's a
real service to the area in getting these
kids exposed to what fire fighting is all
out," said Fire Chief Ken Southom.
Explorers will undergo fire, rescue
and first aid training instructed by
Eagan fire fighter Dale Nelson,
Lieutenant Tim Denman and Fire
Prevention Officer Ron Meyers. Al-
though Fire Explorers will never enter
a live burn situation (fire area), they
will provide valuable behind -the-
scenes fire ground services, such as as-
sisting fire fighters in rolling fire hose,
changing fire fighters' air tanks, and
crowd control, as well as maintaining
Fire Department equipment.
Fire Explorers will also be active
in fire prevention, health fairs, public
relations and Eagan Fire Department
Systems (street maps and hydrant loca-
tions). Training will be conducted one
Wednesday and one Saturday per
month, offering field trips as well as
lots of hands -on training.
So, at the next parade, health fair,
fire prevention demonstration or fire
scene, if you think our fire service
people seem to look younger each
ar -it's because they are. In fact,
se very people could someday be
regular fire fighters for your Volunteer
Fire Department.

RESIDENTS ENCOURAGED TO PLANT TREES
While the City is taking on many arbor related projects this year, it is only
through the dedicated involvement of all City residents that Eagan can truly have a
successful Arbor Day and Arbor Month. For this reason, the Mayor and City
Council are encouraging residents to join in this special celebration by planting
trees in the home landscape. Trees can offer many benefits to the homeowner by
providing shade, color, and by attracting backyard wildlife and song birds.
Trees also represent the best investment that property owners can make to in-
crease the value of residential property. For example, a Sugar Maple purchased at
the Eagan Tree Sale will cost $20.00. Within five years, the homeowner can expect
the tree to increase to a diameter of about two inches and attain a height of 12 to
15 feet. Under the state's "Shade Tree Formula," the tree would then have a value
of about $76.30, offering the homeowner a 381% increase on their investment.
With few exceptions, almost any species of tree available at local nurseries is
well suited for the home landscape. Among the most popular trees are:
Maple
Ginkgo (male only)
Kentucky Coffee Tree
Ironwood
Pin Oak
Linden (or Basswood)
Japanese Tree Lilac
Hackberry
Ohio Buckeye
Ash
Honey Locust
Flowering Crab
White Oak
All Evergreen Species

TIPS ON TREE
PLANTING
Once you have made your
landscape selections,. following a few
simple steps will help to ensure better
health and growth of your trees.
• Dig the planting hole about 12 in-
ches deeper and wider than the
root ball or planting pot.
• Amend the soil before placing it
back in the planting hole. Do this
by adding compost or manure at a
50% rate. (The City offers free
compost at its site near the
Municipal Center.)
• Prune the tree canopy by 1/3 to
reduce the amount of leaf surface.
This will help the tree to better
survive the initial shock of
transplanting and water loss.
• Mulch the base of the tree with
wood chips or bark chips. This
will help to reduce drying out of
the root ball and protect the tree
from desiccation. Wood chips are
also available at the City's com-
post site.

STRESS IN TREES
As drought conditions continue,
homeowners are finding it more dif-
ficult to maintain the health of their
trees and shrubs. Affected trees may
die directly from a lack of water or
may be prone to attack from other
pests and diseases. The effects of
drought damage, known as "stress ",
may not be apparent in the short term
but may take several years to severely
damage or kill affected trees.
Young and newly planted trees
and shrubs have shallow root systems
and are more easily affected by
drought than older plants with deeper
roots.
Healthly trees can be best main-
tained through a program of regular
watering. A weekly soaking that as-
sures a moisture depth of eight to ten
inches is ideal. Deeper watering
avoids shallow root development, a
large cause of many drought related
problems.
The area above the roots should
also be mulched with four to six inches
of wood chips or other organic mulch.
The mulch will act like a sponge, hold-
ing moisture in the root zone for im-
proved uptake of water. Mulch also
serves to keep the soil cool which
promotes tree vigor. The organic
material in the mulch will attract earth
worms which act to aerate the soil and
improve water penetration.
Plants with only minor signs of
drought damage can be aided by
regular watering, and the removal of
dead and wilting branches. A good
pruning job will not only improve the
trees' appearance and strength, but
also decrease the amount of leaf sur-
face the root system has to support.
Accompanying articles in this newslet-
ter provide additional information in
correct pruning techniques.
Pests and diseases that are unre-
lated to dry conditions continue to kill
trees in Eagan. These include oak wilt
and Dutch Elm disease, among others.
Anyone with questions about
drought, watering, pruning, pests and
diseases is encouraged to contact the
Eagan City Forester at 454 -5220.

PRUNING ADVICE
Pruning is defined as the removal
of dead, diseased, or living tree parts
to benefit those that remain. Young
trees should be pruned to develop a
sound structure of scaffold branches.
When young trees are pruned in this
manner, they may be spared large cor-
rective pruning cuts as they mature.
The basic steps of pruning in
order of importance are:
• Remove dead, diseased, damaged
or weakened branches
• Remove competing and interfering
branches (those rubbing against
one another)
• Remove weak branches or those
with 2 narrow angles
• Remove old primary stubs
• Remove water sprouts and suckers
unless they are being trained to fill
in bare spots in the crown
Pruning is not only a benefit to the
tree but can be fun as well as reward-
ing for those who do the work. For
those who would like to try pruning,
pruning books and manuals are avail-
able at the local library, garden
centers, or book stores.
