1990 CITY BUDGET
A draft 1990 budget for the City
of Eagan is presently being studied by
the City Council in special workshop
sessions and regular meetings.
Dakota County, the three school
districts and the City of Eagan will all
hold separate public hearings in Oc-
tober in order to receive resident com-
ments on their various budgets. The
date of the hearing for the City of
Eagan is dependent upon the schedul-
ing of budget hearings under the coor-
dination of Dakota County. Residents
should watch their newspapers for
specific meeting dates and times.
The process of budgeting for 1990
has been complicated by the gover-
nor's veto of the 1989 tax law. The
City is proceeding to prepare a budget
under the requirements of the 1988 tax
law, while taking into consideration
that a special session of the legislature
may produce a new tax law which
could affect revenues for the City.
Any questions concerning the
proposed budget should be addressed
to the office of the City Administrator
at 454 -8100.
NEW VOTING
EQUIPMENT
Eagan voters will fmd new voting
equipment awaiting them when they
vote for mayor and for two council
members in this fall's City election.
The City now has equipment with opti-
cal scanners which will read and count
each ballot as it is inserted in the
voting machine.
The new ballot resembles a paper
ballot but is made of lightweight
cardboard. A felt -tip pen is utilized to
mark voter choices. The voter con-
nects the two sections of an arrow to
complete his or her vote for an office:
COUNTY ATTORNEY
Florence Nightingale 4
Francis Scott Key 4-
One of the new optical scanner
voting machines is currently set up in
the front lobby of the Eagan Municipal
Center. Any registered voter may use
the machine to practice the new
method of voting.
Election judges have received
training on the new equipment and
will be prepared to assist voters on
election day. All residents are en-
couraged to stop by the municipal cen-
ter in the coming weeks and give the
optical scanner a try.

THE CITY OF EAGAN IS AN
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

NO HUNTING IN EAGAN
Hunting is no longer allowed in
• the City of Eagan on agricultural
land or in open fields.
While the Dangerous Weapons &
Articles section of the City Code, has
made the discharge of firearms and ex-
plosives in the City of Eagan illegal
for a number of years, hunting had
been allowed under certain conditions.
However, on August 15, 1989,
THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE
WAS REMOVED from the Dangerous
Weapons & Articles ordinance
THEREBY essentially BANNING
HUNTING WITHIN CITY LIMITS.
"By a landowner, or his lessee, or
his guest in company of the landowner
or lessee by specific invitation, upon
lands owned by him, provided that no
shot, bullet or other ammunition used
shall pass beyond the boundaries of his
property, nor shall the discharge of the
firearms occur within 500 feet of any
building on an adjoining owner's proper-
ty or occupied residence; nor in any
event create a nuisance or danger to
other persons. Provided further, that
such shooting shall be on land zoned
Agriculture and containing five acres or
*ore, and only shot shells may be used."
The only hunting exception
remaining in the ordinance concerns
special hunts individually authorized
by the Eagan City Council for the pur-
poses of game management.
DUE TO CHANGES IN THE
LOCAL ORDINANCE, THE EAGAN
AREA WILL NOT BE PART OF THE
METRO GOOSE HUNT. The Depart-
ment of Natural Resources' Metro
Goose Hunt includes many other cities
in the metro area. It is incumbent
upon hunters to contact those cities to
check local ordinances regarding hunt-
ing. If in the future a special hunting
season is warranted to control the
goose population in Eagan, the City
Council can consider Eagan's par-
ticipation at that time.
Earlier in the year, a special shot-
gun hunt was authorized to control the
deer population in Fort Snelling State
Park. A limited number of permits
will be issued by the DNR for the
taking of antlerless deer only, from
Ilil ovember (inclusive), 1989. For
dditional information regarding hunts
at Fort Snelling and on other area
State and Federal lands, call 854 -6486,
296 -2553, or 727 -1961.
CITY CODE AMENDMENTS
In addition to federal and state laws, the City of Eagan passes laws (or or-
dinances) which pertain specifically to the City. These ordinances are con-
tained in Eagan's City Code. As with other laws, the City's ordinances can be
and are amended on a regular basis, The following listing is a brief summary of
major changes to the City Code during the past year which may be of interest
to residents.
Chapter 4: CONSTRUCTION LICENSING, PERMITS & REGULATION
• Fencing is required for new and existing swimming pools. The only ex-
ception is the above ground swimming pool which has at least four foot
vertical or outwardly mclined sidewalls. Fencing was required to be in-
stalled by May 15, 1989 for existing swimming pools.
• Only state licensed electrical contractors may receive permits for the in-
stallation of electrical work in new structures. State licensed electrical
contractors or resident owners of property may receive permits where
work is to be done in an existing structure.
Chapter 5: BEER, WINE & LIQUOR LICENSING
• In compliance with state law, off -sale liquor stores are now allowed to be
open on July 4th and New Year's Day.
• Provision was made for allowance of a temporary liquor license to be is-
sued' to charitable, religious or non- profit organizations in connect
with a social event.
Chapter 6: OTHER BUSINESS REGULATION & LICENSING
• The state legislature repealed led licensing requirements for dances and the
City Code was amended to conform to state law.
• The refuse hauling regulations were expanded to include recycling
provisions and to establish daily hauling districts.
• Licensing provisions for golf driving ranges in the City were established.
Chapter 9: PARKING REGULATIONS
• It is now unlawful to park any detached trailer upon any street for a con -
tinuous period of more than twenty (24) hours.
It is also unlawful to park any vehicle in excess of 9,000 pounds gross
vehicle weight and/or any commercial vehicle upon any residential street
for a continuous period of more than six (6) hours.
Chapter 10: PUBLIC PROTECTION, CRIMES & OFFENSES
• The Dangerous Weapons Ordinance was amended to essentially prohibit
hunting anywhere in the City of Eagan.
Dog and cat regulations were expanded. Owners may not allow dogs or
cats to disturb the peace and quiet of a neighborhood by barking, howling,
whining or making any other loud or unusual noises. The police and/or
anima( control officer were authorized to remove any animal which has
been disturbing the peace for two or more hours and place it in the City
Pound at the owner's expense.
• The keeping of four or more dogs or cats or any combination, over six
months of age is prohibited without a kenne permit.
• Regarding rabies inoculations, every owner of a dog or cat over six
months of age is required to have a certificate stating that the dog or cat
has a current inoculation against rabies. The owner of any dog or cat
which has bitten a person must provide a certificate of current rabies in-
oculation or the animal shall be immediately seized and impounded for
the period of time necessary to determine if the dog or cat has been in-
fected with rabies, with the cost to be paid by the owner. Other animals
which have bitten a person will be destroyed and taken to the University
Diagnostic Lab to determine if the animal has been infected with rabies.
Chapters 11 & 13: ZONING & SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
• Multiple housing units must now have an exterior finish of bricks or bet -
ter material, and registered architects must prepare building plans.
• Model home permits may not be issued until after final plat approval.

EAGAN FIRE DEPARTMENT
FOCUSES ON FIRE PREVENTION
Many children are faced with the temptation to play with fire. Parents
who leave matches and lighters within a child's reach are courting tragedy.
Very young children do not have the capacity to understand the consequen-
ces of striking a match or lighter, and many older children who do under-
stand have no idea how quickly a fire can grow out of control.
FACTS ABOUT KIDS AND FIRE
• Child fire play is the leading cause of death in residential fires for pre-
school children.
• Fires started by children playing (mostly with matches or lighters) repre-
sent 3 out of 10 preschool child fire deaths.
• A study done several years ago indicated the most frequent cause of fires
involving unattended children in multiple -death fires was child fire play,
usually with matches or lighters.
• Smoke detectors are not present in 84% of the homes where preschool
fatalities occur.
• Curiosity is the most common reason children play with fire.
• 38% of all children in grades 1 -8 have played with matches or lighters.
• If only you could go back, turn back the clock and do things differently.
If only you had placed your matches or lighters up high -- -out of their
reach. Don't wait until lives are lost to learn this lesson. You can do
something now.
• Big fires start small: Keep matches and lighters in the right hands. You
might save your child's life.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK ACTIVITIES
Fire Prevention Week is October 8 through 14, but fire prevention is all
year long. The Eagan Fire Department will host Open Houses on Tuesday
until Friday, October 10 -13, 6:30 -8:30 p.m. at Station 1 (3940 Rahn Road),
Station 3 (4930 Pilot Knob Road), Station 4 (4200 Dodd Road), and Station 5
(4701 Gala)de Avenue). For more information, contact the Eagan Fire
Department at 454 -5274.

SOLICITORS MUST BE.
LICENSED
For many months throughout the
year, solicitors are out and about in
Eagan, selling their products or asking
for donations.
Residents should be aware that
solicitation licenses are required by
the City and each solicitor must carry
a copy of that license.
Most solicitors are legitimate, but
some use questionable methods to sell
questionable products. Residents are
encouraged to ask solicitors for a copy
of their license.
If no license is provided, the resi-
dent should alert City officials that an
unlicensed peddlar is active in Eagan.
The caller should provide as much in-
formation as possible, such as the
name of the business or organization,
type of product, sales tactics used,
solicitor (physical) description and
vehicle description, if possible.
With the help of residents, City
ficials can keep Eagan free from
scrupulous solicitors and allow those
with legitimate causes to conduct busi-
ness in the community.

DAKOTA COUNTY YARD
WASTE BAN IN EFFECT. This ban
prohibits any yard waste from entering
area landfills. Yard waste includes
grass clippings, leaves, branches up to
6" in diameter, and garden wastes.
What does this Dakota County
ban mean for Eagan residents? This
ban, which will be in effect statewide
January 1, 1990, allows residents a
number of options for proper disposal
for yard wastes. The options include:
1. the refuse hauler will collect the
material separately and deliver to a
compost facility; 2. residents can
deliver the material to the City of
Eagan's compost site by the Municipal
Center or to the County operated com-
post facility in Lakeville; 3. residents
can start their own backyard compost
fi le; and/or 4. residents can mulch
ass clippings during the growing
season.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION DAY (9 a.m.
to 3 p.m.) This event is co- sponsored
by the City of Eagan, The Dakota
County Board of Commissioners and
Unisys. This will be your opportunity
to safely dispose of harmful household,
garden and lawn care products at the
Unisys facility, Pilot Knob & Yankee
Doodle Roads.
We encourage everyone to use
your products completely or give them
to someone who can. On collection
day you will be able to dispose of
paints, solvents, pesticides and other
toxic materials at no charge. Tires will
be accepted for $1 per tire.
If you would like to help with this
event, we are in need of volunteers for
1, 2 or 3 shifts during the day.
If you have any question about
recycling yard waste, the hazardous
T aste collection day, would like a list
f safe disposal methods or a list of al-
ternatives to hazardous and other
products, please call the Eagan Recy-
cling Staff at 454 -8100.
EAGAN /MENDOTA HEIGHTS
Few newsletter articles generate as much response as did the aircraft
noise article in the May issue. The purpose of the article was not to en -.
courage noise complaints where no problem exists, but to better inform resi-
dents of what to expect when they live in a city near an airport and whom to
contact if they experience noise problems.
By and large the article did a good job of this, but one issue bears:
clarification. The existence of the noise compatible industrial zoning in north-
ern Eagan and southern Mendota Heights is intended to absorb the worst of
the noise, but it cannot make all Eagan neighborhoods completely noise free.
Operational controls exist to focus traffic in this area; but at a certain point, .:
all aircraft will either enter or leave this air space. Even flown properly, these
procedures will not contain all of the noise in the corridor.
As the previous article stressed, many operations over residential areas
are operating within the procedures established by the FAA. For example, ar-
rivals setting up for the four mile final approach may come from the west or
south and cross Eagan to line up with the runway. Similarly, departures to the
west or south may not turn for three miles from runway end, but after that
may overfly various parts of the City. The procedures are based on the as-
sumption that most aircraft following them will be high enough to not be
obtrusive by the time they reach down range residential areas. For some
areas and individuals this is true, but this is not always the case.
While the City works very hard to encourage noise compatible operations
at every opportunity, this is one area where homeowners who are bothered
must make themselves heard directly to persons in authority at the airport. If
you are bothered by an aircraft noise event, regardless of the reason, note as
much as you can about aircraft, direction of flight and time of day and call:
MAC Complaint Line: 728-9411
Address noise correspondence to:
Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC)
6040 2 &h Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55450
CORRIDOR UPDATE
CAN l D0 ANYTHING ELSE?
It is generally believed that much of the present noise problem will be
reduced when quiet generation aircraft take over the national airline fleets.
Currently, Stage II aircraft such as 727's and DC -9's dominate scheduled air
service. Over time they will be replaced by newer, noticeably quieter aircraft,
such as 757's, 767's and Airbus 320's. These airplanes use quieter engine tech-
nology and climb much more quickly, thereby reducing the size and severity of
the impact area.
While all airlines, including Northwest, are actively purchasing these new
planes, it will be years before the older planes are entirely replaced. This is
because of the length of production schedules, the remaining economic life of
existing fleets and the extraordinary cost of these planes As an example, a
new 757 costs roughly $55 million about the same as the cost of the
Metrodome.
Stage II airplanes are no longer being built in the United States. All air-
lines will stop using them eventually. It may desirable to have their phase
out take place more quickly, but this can only be done at the federal level.
While the exact mechanism to bring about this change is a matter of debate,
you can still express your concern for change to members of Congress. In
Eagan, your Congressional delegation is:

ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM
Does any adult you know need help with reading? The Eagan branch of
the Dakota County Library (Wescott), in conjunction with School District 196,
is again offering a free open lab for adult literacy and GED tutoring in the
Library from 10 -12 a.m. on Tuesdays beginning September 12. Marcia Gowl-
ing, with the School District Community Education Department, will staff the
room, using printed materials and computers to help people practice their
basic skills.
The year- round, library- sponsored adult literacy program, TALP, con-
tinues to provide one -to -one free, private tutoring whenever the library is
open, as agreed upon by tutors and learners. As the program grows, the need
to expand into other space is rising. The first satellite tutoring station is at
Woodland Elementary School on Wescott. For more information about par-
ticipating or about providing tutoring space, please call 452 -9600.
HOMEBOUND SERVICE
Each year the Homebound Program serves more library users who value
library service but are confined on a temporary or permanent basis. Materials
are chosen by library staff, checked out for a four -week loan period and
delivered by a volunteer. These may include hardcovers, paperbacks, large
print books, magazines, pamphlets and audio cassettes. Because of the
popularity and growth of this program, library staff are looking for someone to
assist on a regular volunteer basis to choose materials and schedule delivery at
the Wescott Library. If you would like to share your broad reading interests
and background by assisting in this program, or to receive or provide the ser-
vice, please call the Homebound Coordinator at 452 -9600.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT
The hustle and bustle of activities in the children's department continues
with the introduction of the fall schedule of events. Special programs are
planned for children from age two to six-plus that will entertain as well as
stimulate youngsters. During Minnesota Festival of the Book, September 30-
October 8, and during Children's Book Week, November 13 -19, the library will
display new and recommended books that will be fun for children to read
alone or to have read to them. Pickup a schedule of events in the children's
department and plan now for a season of exciting events.
BESTSELLERS IN DEMAND
The library has enrolled in a pilot program to test delivery of best sellers
to library users as quickly as possible. Popular titles will be ordered in quan-
tity to meet the demands of readers and made available at the optimum time
when they are popular. Books will be checked out for a two -week period, and
when the popularity of these best sellers wanes they will be sold. Look for
these books under the New Arrivals banner near the browsing shelves.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
The second annual flea market and book sale sponsored by the Friends is
planned for October 14, beginning at 10 a.m., in the lower level meeting room.
Donations of re- usable household items and books can be brought to the
library during open hours up to a week before the sale (please, no clothing or
large items.) The proceeds from the book sales held during the year purchase
new materials, special books, and sponsor special programs for the Wescott
Library. Friends of the Library also provide volunteer services and support
staff to the many departments of the library.
The 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 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call 452-
9600 for more information or come in, view the special display in the Dakota
Room, and browse.

TAKE CARE OF:
Oak trees make up the major
forest cover in the City of Eagan. In
deed, the City's symbol is the Lon
Oak Tree. Following are tips from the
forestry section for care of your oaks:
OAK WILT
Oak Wilt disease is responsible for
killing large numbers of oaks each
year. Following two dry summers,
Oak Wilt is affecting Eagan's trees in
record numbers this year.
Oak Wilt is easily identified in
Red Oaks by the rapid wilting of af-
fected trees. These infected oaks are
usually completely wilted two weeks
after symptoms first appear. Trees
wilt from the top down, while the in-
dividual leaves wilt from the margins
in. Infected white oaks are more resis-
tant to the disease, often surviving for
many years after infestation.
Oak Wilt is caused by a fungus.
This fungus can be spread in two ways.
• 1) Most spread of Oak Wilt oc-
curs underground via grafted root
systems. Root grafting is very com-
mon where trees are growing close
together; but roots of trees 50 fee
apart may also be grafted.
• 2) Overland spread is usually
caused by insects, primarily picnic
beetles. Picnic beetles carry the
disease to non - infected trees, gain-
ing access through fresh pruning
wounds. Spread of infection can
occur from April through July.
Stopping the spread of Oak Wilt
through root grafting is effective and
can be done by mechanical barriers
using a vibratory plow or trencher.
Barriers in the soil must be positioned
outside of the affected tree(s) root
zone. Overland spread by insects can
be prevented by not pruning trees
from April 15 to July 1. If pruning is
unavoidable, non -toxic tree wound
dressing should be applied immediate-
ly after pruning. Winter is the optimal
time of year to prune oaks since the
Picnic Beetles are inactive.
As a further precaution, infected
Red Oaks should be eliminated by
debarking, burning, burying, or wrap-
ping in 4-6 mil plastic until July
Wilting, or recently wilted trees m
not be moved in any form (including
firewood) to areas where oak wilt is
not present.
YOUR OAK TREES
OAK ANTHRACNOSE
Anthracnose is a disease that resi-
ents often confuse with Oak Wilt. It
is a leaf disease caused by a fungus
and affects primarily white oaks. This
disease can be identified by large ir-
regular brown spots, usually along the
leaf edge. In more severe cases leaves
wilt or curl up, turn black, or brown
and fall off. Anthracnose is generally
more severe in years with cool wet
springs. It is not as life threatening as
Oak Wilt.
Control measures include raking
up infected leaves, fertilizing
weakened trees to increase vigor, and
spraying with fungicides such as Cap -
tan or Zineb in early spring, at bud
break, and twice afterwards at seven to
ten day intervals.
CONSTRUCTION DAMAGE
Construction damage to oaks in
the City of Eagan is a real threat. A
tree's root system can be damaged by
excavation, grade change (most often
with excess fill) soil compaction
caused by equipment, or simply by
removing shade- giving ground cover.
fa he trunk and crown can be affected
y pruning cuts, abrasion and chemical
drift. The above conditions should be
avoided by builders and homeowners
during the construction process.
FERTILIZATION
In many cases the vigor of oak
trees can be improved by fertilization.
Fertilizer should be applied in late fall
or early spring. Summer fertilization
of trees should be avoided. In general
a complete fertilizer containing
nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) and
potassium (K) should be used. Usual-
ly it is better to wait to fertilize newly
planted trees until the second growing
season. Tree fertilizers can be applied
by broadcasting, perforation (dry fer-
tilizer placed in holes drilled into the

and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on even num-
bered days, parking is allowed on the
even numbered side of the street only.
Parking is allowed on both sides of the
street from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The ordinance is in effect at all
times whether there is snow on the
ground or not. Vehicles in violation of
the parking ban may be tagged and/or
towed. Remember, the ban goes into
effect on November 15.
SAFE -HOME
HEATING WITH WOOD
With the start of the heating season, many people are preparing to use their
fireplaces and wood stoves for limited pleasure use or as a means to heat their
homes.
Following are some basic maintenance and use tips for fireplaces and wood
stoves.
FIREPLACES
PREPARING THE FIREPLACE: Using a mirror and flashlight, look up the
fireplace flue, check your chimney for creosote build -up. Creosote is a tarry, black
substance that will naturally accumulate as a result of operating the fireplace. It is
highly flammable and should be cleaned out of the chimney if it is one - eighth inch
thick at any point on the chimney wall. You will find that the greener the wood
burned in your fireplace, the faster the build -up of creosote. Burn only wood that
has been dried for at least six months.
At the top of the chimney, place a spark screen. This will contain any escap-
ing sparks and lower the chance of roof or building fires. Also, take the time to
clear away low - hanging branches from the area. Keep limbs at least 10 feet away
from the chimney area.
STARTING THE FIRE: Use dry and finely split kindling if at all possible
when starting a fire. It will make starting the fire easier. Crumpled or shredded
newspapers do a good job, too, but the major drawback here is that burning ashes
tend to float upward. These burning ashes cannot only start a fire on the roof,
they can also create a fire in a dirty chimney. Go lightly on the use of newspapers.
Do not burn coal in a fireplace; it burns much hotter than wood and most
fireplaces were not built to withstand that degree of heat. Never use kerosene
gasoline or other flammable liquids; they can easily explode and your whole hous�
may become part of the blaze.
PLUS: Extinguish your fire before leaving the house or going to bed. Unat-
tended fires are dangerous. Never throw water on a fire in a fireplace. The sud-
den change in temperature may cause the lining to crack. The best way to extin-
guish the flame is to cover it with ashes. Store ashes in a non - flammable container
such as a metal can with a tight - fitting lid. Cardboard boxes or paper bags could
smolder and ignite. Always place a lid on the can and store for at least three days
before discarding. Keep flammable objects such as furniture, woodpiles and
newspapers at least three feet from the fireplace. Also be careful when starting or
stoking the fire. Watch loose robes and sleeves.
WOOD STOVES
PREPARING THE STOVE: Creosote is a major enemy of safe and efficient
wood burning stoves. Build -ups of one - eighth inch or more can cause problems in
chimneys and stovepipes. Clean as often as needed for your particular unit, which
may be as often as every week or few days.
BURNING IN THE STOVE: When burning wood, burn seasoned wood as fre-
quently as possible. It cuts down on the build -up of creosote. A stovepipe ther-
mometer will help to monitor the smoke temperature at any given time. This will
assist greatly when attempting to prevent creosote condensation and maximizing
the heating value of the wood. "All night burns" can be counterproductive. In-
stead of creating the efficient production of heat, they drive off a good share of the
"wood gas ". Since the fire is not hot enough to burn the gas, most of the heating ad-
vantage is lost. In addition, the "burn" creates a faster build -up of creosote.
PLUS: As with fireplaces, be sure to clear ashes and store them in a non -flam-
mable container such as a metal can with a lid. Never dispose of ashes along wit.
other trash. Ashes can stay hot for days and ignite combustible materials.

Are your dog's "manners" the worst on the block? Then, why not try dog
obedience training?
You will teach your dog to come, sit, stay, and heel. Inappropriate barking
will become a thing of the past. Your dog will love coming to class. Repetition, a
firm "no" when needed, and loads and loads of praise are the elements used to en-
sure your success with your dog.
Novice training is for dogs which have previously had beginner classes.
A dog younger than nine months of age is too much of a puppy to understand
obedience training.
The handler may be an adult or youth, 12 years of age or older.
BRING TO THE FIRST CLASS: The dog, certificate of rabies vaccination, a
choke chain 2 inches longer than the girth of the dog's neck, and a 6' leather
Leash.

youth sport coaches. Clinics
planned this fall will be directed to
basketball and hockey.
First year certification clinics
are scheduled to be completed on

ogy of coaching youth sports, maxi-
mizing performance, first aid, and
sport specific skills tapes.
Clinics are also offered for
second and third year NYSCA cer-
tification. Each of these clinics are
completed in approximately two

ing aspects of coaching respon-
sibility that are frequently missed,
