THE LONE OAR TREE. ...THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY CENTER PLANS
ADVANCE
• During the last six months, planning for a future community center for the City
of Eagan took a major step forward as the Advisory Parks and Recreation Com-
mission's preliminary study was completed, after nearly thirteen months of effort,
with a recommendation to proceed to the next study phase.
The City has since hired an architectural firm that has previously planned a
number of recreation facilities, to do a site, space and cost analysis for a possible
community center. Recently, the firm completed its review of the proposed com-
munity center campus site. This site is located on land already owned by the City
which is just south of the present Municipal Center on Pilot Knob Road.
The firm's analysis of this site, i.e., soils, access, circulation, size, etc., con-
firmed the site's adequacy to meet the needs of a community center building. The
architects will be using the results of the community survey taken earlier by
Decision Resources, Incorporated as a guide to the planning of the future building.
Volunteer Citizens Committee to be formed.
The Eagan City Council is now seeking citizens who may wish to serve on a
task force /community center reaction committee to work with the Advisory Parks
& Recreation Commission, staff and the architect in reviewing preliminary plan-
ning issues. The committee is to be comprised of a broad and diverse group of in-
dividuals representing various geographical areas of the City, as well as different
age groups, interests and occupations.
Residents wishing to serve on the committee should direct a letter of interest
to the City Administrator, at 3830 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, MN 55122. A brief
background statement, qualifications, and reasons why the individual is seeking the
appointment should be included. Appointments will be made by the City Council.
o ne committee work will extend until February 1989.
For additional information concerning the role and responsibility of the com-
mittee or the proposed community center, interested residents should contact the
Director of Parks & Recreation, Ken Vraa, at 454 -8100.

1989 CITY BUDGET
A draft 1989 budget for the City
of Eagan is presently being studied by
the City Council in special workshop •
sessions and regular City Council meet-
ings. A public hearing will be held on
Monday, September 19, 1988, in order
to receive resident input, and con-
sideration of the budget will continue
through the months of September and
early October.
The City of Eagan remains the
fastest growing city in Minnesota and
the draft 1989 budget for the City
shows a corresponding increase in
manpower and capital equipment
needs in order to supply a constant
level of City services as required by
the rapidly growing population.
Any questions concerning the
proposed budget and/or dates of meet-
ings at which the budget will be con-
sidered should be directed to the of-
fice of the City Administrator, 454-
8100.
LEAD IN YOUR WATER?
Lead is a soft metal which is now
known to be harmful to human health
if consumed or inhaled. It is possible
for lead to be present in your drinking
water if your home or water system
has lead pipes, copper pipes with lead
solder and if water sits in your pipes
for several hours.
Drinking water treated by the City
of Eagan and delivered to the service
connections in your home has no
detectable levels of lead. However,
tap water may contain lead leached
from the pipes in your home. Testing
by a state - approved laboratory is the
only way to determine if your drinking
water has high levels of dissolved lead.
Methods to minimize exposure to
lead include flushing cold water
faucets before use when water has
been standing for more than a few
hours, cooking only with cold water
and making plumbing repairs with
lead -free materials.
For additional information on this
subject, please contact the City's
Utility Division at 454 -5220 or the
United States Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA). The EPA has es-
tablished a toll -free hotline dedicated
s
to this subject: Dial 1- 800 -426 -4791.
The EPA has also prepared a booklet
on this issue.

THE SUMMER Of 1988
Two words are all that are needed to describe the summer of 1988, "hot" and
"dry". This past summer saw records set for daily high temperatures, number of
days with high temperatures and lack of precipitation. The whole country was af-
fected by this summer's drought and the City of Eagan did not escape.
Most cities and towns in the metropolitan area instituted sprinkling bans this
summer as residents began using more and more water on their lawns and
landscaping to attempt to compensate for the lack of rain. The City of Eagan in-
stituted an " odd/even" sprinkling system at the beginning of the summer whereby
residents could use water for outside uses every other day. The purpose of the
restriction in Eagan had a number of goals, the first, and most obvious, of which
was to guarantee that a sufficient supply of water was available at all times to supp-
ly the indoor water needs of residents and to supply all emergency water which
would be needed if a major fire occurred in the City of Eagan.
At the time the "odd/even" system was instituted, the City was completing con-
struction on two new wells which were due to come "on line" during the summer.
Those wells have now been completed and are in operation. Since they have come
on line and with the odd/even sprinkling system in effect, the City has experienced
no low water levels in its reservoirs and has been able to maintain an adequate im-
mediate water supply to deal with emergencies.
The results of the "odd/even" sprinkling restriction in the City of Eagan were
surprisingly positive. Upon learning of the need for water conservation, residents
were extremely cooperative and began using water more wisely. Some
homeowners chose to let their lawns go dormant during the long hot spell; others
adhered to the odd/even system and supplied their lawns and landscaping with
water on an every other day basis. Many residents began watering during the
morning hours when overall water usage was lower and when sprinkling was more
beneficial for lawns and plants. Residents were also more careful when setting
their sprinklers and very little water wastefully ran down driveways and streets into
the sewer system.
The drought conditions seemed to have the most adverse affect on gardens
and planted fields which due to their location could not be watered. Farmers and
gardeners whose gardens were not near a water supply suffered.
This summer's hot and dry weather also had a serious impact on trees and
shrubs in Eagan. Many trees have already died and others are showing stress
which may lead to problems in the future. The trees and shrubs most susceptible
to drought damage are the young and newly planted ones. These trees have shal-
low root systems and are totally dependent on surface ground moisture. Lack of
adequate moisture can kill trees directly or make the trees more susceptible to a
number of tree diseases and pests. However, plants with only some symptoms of
drought damage can be saved if they are watered, fertilized in the spring, and
pruned of dead and wilting branches.
The Eagan Parks and Recreation Department has done its best to keep up
with watering during the recent hot and dry weather. Efforts were made to ir-
rigate the nearly 3,000 maintained park trees by use of City tanker trucks. Priority
was given to the newest trees and to the parks with the highest concentration of
young trees. Over 150 letters were also sent to homeowners bordering parks as-
king for their assistance in watering thirsty trees. Despite this emergency program,
though, some trees died, while others, although giving the appearance of dying,
may have gone dormant.
Park trees lost to the drought will be replaced when conditions are favorable.
Anyone concerned with park trees or with questions concerning their own trees
may contact the City Forester at 454 -5220, or call the University of Minnesota's
"Dial U Insect and Plant Information Service" at 1- 976 -0200 ($2.00 fee per call).
The City of Eagan officials and staff would like to express their appreciation
to residents and businesses in Eagan for their willing cooperation and assistance
during this abnormally hot and dry summer. Thank you all!

CABLE CORNER
Local Access - What is it and Where is it Going?
As you flip through the cable TV channels, you may see references to local ac-
cess, but what exactly is local access? Local access provides citizens with access to
designated cable TV channels, video equipment and training on how to use the
equipment. Once a person is certified to use the equipment, he /she is then able to
produce programs on just about anything that person wishes. The program can
then be cablecast on the Burnsville/Eagan local access channels, which offer alter-
native non - commercial programming such as the public meetings on the govern-
ment channel (16B &E), the sporting events on the public access channel (33),
educational programming (51), religious programming (63), and library access
(53), as well as the daily bulletin board of community announcements (62). In es-
sence, local access can be viewed as community television, by and for its citizens.
Cable TV North Central currently operates the Burnsville/Eagan Cable TV
System under an ordinance which includes in its provisions the responsibility for
the management and staffmg of a local access facility and studio in Eagan. Even
though Cable TV North Central originally agreed to the ordinance, it has now
proposed to the Cities of Eagan and Burnsville that the cities modify the existing
franchise agreement in regards to the responsibility of managing and operating the
local access facility and channels. The cable company has stated that local access
is too costly and inefficient to operate as agreed to in the franchise ordinance.
Because of Cable TV North Central's proposal, the Burnsville/Eagan Cable
Communications Commission has been directed to explore and research the op-
tions available to the cities and recommend to the City Councils action that could
be taken. In fact, the Cable Commission has made the resolution of the local ac-
cess issue its number one goal. The process of evaluating local access requires
gathering data and information and that will take time. Some of the questions that
need to be answered include the form of ownership, how local access shall be
operated and managed and where the facility/studio(s) will be located. Once,
these and other questions have been investigated, the Cable Commission will
present its findings to the councils. The Eagan and Burnsville City Councils will in
turn evaluate the information and make a decision as to what will happen with the
present local access operations.
As part of the Cable Commission's data gathering process, it needs to hear
from current and potential local access users as well interested citizens. If you
have an interest in what is happening in local access here, you are invited to attend
two public meetings regarding the current and future use of local access, its chan-
nels and facility. The first meeting will be held . at the Eagan City Hall, on
Thursday, September 15th, at 7:00 P.M.. The second meeting will take place on
Wednesday, October 5th, at 7:00 P.M., at the Burnsville High School in Room C-
180. If you cannot attend the meetings but would like to comment on this issue,
please contact the Cable Commission's Coordinator, Mike Reardon, at 454 -8100.
Cable Expansion and Your Rights
This year, Cable TV North Central will extend cable TV lines into ap-
proximately 22 neighborhoods or subdivisions throughout Eagan. In most cases,
this means that the lines are installed in the yards after the property owner has
moved in. This can be a reminder that a section of the owner's property is subject
to public right of ways and easements. The cable company is required to insure
that the main lines are installed within those public easements. Once the lines
have been installed, the cable company is required by City ordinance to restore the
site or yard to its former state. For example, if the section of the yard that is dis-
turbed is sodded and the sod is destroyed, a contractor for the company will
replace the sod. On the other hand, if the yard is just black dirt, the company /con-
tractor will not install new sod.
As with all construction, it sometimes takes several days before everything is
restored. However, if it has been more than a week, please contact the cable com-
pany by dialing 483 -9999 and explain the situation. If the problem is not resolved
in a reasonable period of time, then contact Mike Reardon, the Cable Coordinator
for Eagan and Burnsville, by dialing 454 -8100.

EAGAN'S POPULATION
The Metropolitan Council recently
released figures estimating the current
populations and number of household+
in metropolitan communities.
As of April 1, 1988, they project
Eagan's population to be 42,556 and
its number of households to be 15,594.
This compares to the 1980 census
figures of a population of 20,700 and
6,824 households.
AIRCRAFT NOISE
The airport noise issue has taken
on increased significance in recent
years as noise impacted neighborhoods
around the area have become active in
the effort to curb the noise problem.
Much of this problem has occurred as
a result of deregulation which has led
to dramatic increases in air traffic here
and elsewhere.
Aircraft noise is nothing new for
Eagan residents. For years, the com-
munity has worked to get along with
the airport by providing a flyover area
of commercial and industrial land use
in the northern part of the City. This
type of development can better absor
aircraft noise than can residential use
Many of the businesses in Eagan
depend directly on the airport. Its con-
venience is important for those com-
panies with markets, contacts and loca-
tions outside of the immediate area.
The airport's location was one of the
key elements in many businesses'
decisions to locate in Eagan.
But the importance of the airport
to the City need not prevent Eagan
residents from enjoying their homes.
The City and the airport can co -exist
in a noise - controlled environment. To
do so, the airport must receive input
from noise- affected areas.
If you are bothered by aircraft
noise events, note as much as possible
about the time, location, direction of
flight and type of aircraft and call:
Aircraft Noise Complaints: 726 -9411
Airport Control Tower: 726 -9255
Address noise correspondence to:
Metropolitan Airports Commission,
6040 28th Ave. S., Mpls., MN 55450111
Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abate-
ment Council, 6040 28th Ave. S.,

"OFFICER'S NOTEBOOK" by Sergeant John Stevenson
WATCH OUT - SCHOOLS ARE OPENING!
The new school year is upon us and I would like to remind our readers to be especially careful when driving in areas
where children and school busses are located. When overtaking or meeting (except on divided highways) a school bus that is
stopped for the purpose of loading or unloading children, the driver of any motor vehicle must stop completely at least twenty
feet away. This rule applies anytime the bus displays red flashing lights and a "stop" arm. The motor vehicle driver may not
again proceed until the lights are turned off and the arm retracted.
EAGAN POLICE DISTRIBUTE VIKING CARDS TO AREA YOUTH
For the sixth year in a row, Eagan police officers will distribute Minnesota Vikings' football cards to young people in the
City of Eagan. The program began in late August and will continue through late November. This program was designed to
develop a positive relationship between young people and law enforcement officers. Each week, a different card is available to
any youngster who asks for one from an Eagan police officer. However, if a youngster sees that a police officer is busy with of-
ficial business, the child should wait until the officer is finished before asking for the card. Weekly cards have a color picture
of a Vikings player on the front, with biographical information about the player and a crime prevention tip on the back.

THE ROAD MAY BE
CLOSED, BUT THE
COMPOST SITE IS
STILL OPEN!
The long, dry summer seems to be
behind us and fall yard work is closer
than we think. At this time of year, it
is not unusual to have a lot of leaves
and grass clippings. Rather than put
them out for your rubbish hauler, you
can compost this material and reuse it
as a soil builder or moisture- retaining
mulch. Composting is a useful habit to
develop because a new state law
prohibits yard wastes from landfills
beginning in 1989.
Pilot Knob Road may be torn up,
but the Eagan Compost Site is still
open for disposal of yard wastes and
pick up of compost and wood chips.
Follow Wescott Road west from Lexi-
ngton. The site is just south of City
Hall.
HOURS AT THE SITE ARE:
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
Noon to 7:00 p.m., Weather Permitting
Through November 19, 1988
The Compost Program can AC-
CEPT ONLY LEAVES, GARDEN
WASTES AND GRASS CLIPPINGS.
The Wood Chip Program can AC-
CEPT ONLY LIMBS AND TREE
TRUNKS 1 " -6" IN DIAMETER with
any attached branches and with roots
removed.
The programs WILL NOT AC-
CEPT twigs, construction materials,
non -wood materials, stumps, vines,
bark, commercial loads of any kind or
trucks over one ton.
DISPLAY YOUR HOUSE
NUMBER
For your family's safety, please
check your house numbers. Are they
clearly legible from the street? Do
they need repainting or replacing? Are
they hidden by landscaping? If you
live in a townhouse or multiple
residence, do the numbers clearly
refer to each separate residence?
Hopefully, emergency personnel
will never have to locate your home;
but if they do, it will be extremely im-
portant that they be able to locate it as
quickly as possible.

SOLID WASTE ABATEMENT UPDATE
CURBSIDE RECYCLING COMING FOR EAGAN
RESIDENTS
The City of Eagan will soon implement a curb -side recycling program for use
by City residents. While details of the program are still under development, it will
allow all residents who currently have their garbage collected at the curb to put
out recyclables for weekly collection as well.
The City is introducing this service for a number of reasons. Recycling has ob-
vious benefits for the environment because it reduces waste disposal and demand
for scarce resources. In addition, state and county mandates require cities to help
reduce the amount of waste flowing to area landfills by 1990. It is also an oppor-
tune time to introduce an alternative to ordinary disposal as tipping fees at
landfills and the County's mass burn facility are expected to more than double by
1992. Whether you support garbage burners or oppose them, the less we have to
burn, the better off we are.
The Eagan Solid Waste Abatement Commission recently concluded its study
of a variety of recycling options from organized waste collection to mechanized
separation. The Commission has recommended that the City Council implement
recycling in the immediate future by requiring it as a service of all licensed rubbish
haulers. The City Council is considering this recommendation in September and,
if approved, it could be implemented in early 1989.
Curb -side recycling is a convenient, cost - effective way for residents to reduce
the waste stream. In -the long run, it will also be less expensive than ordinary dis-
posal. Under the program, aluminum and steel beverage cans, glass and newsprint
will be kept separate from ordinary wastes. These items will be collected at the
curb on the same day every week.
This does not mean that residents cannot continue to support local paper
drives or take materials directly to redemption centers, but there will be a con-
venient alternative available and it will be as easy as taking out the garbage.
RECYCLING REDEMPTION CENTER OPENS IN
EAGAN
Recycle Minnesota Resources (RMR) has opened a recycling redemption cen-
ter at 1971 Seneca Road. The center is a model for other RMR facilities because
it partially processes and packages recyclables before sending them on to the com-
pany's main facility for marketing. The center has quickly become very popular
with area recyclers. RMR and the City hope that it is even more popular in the fu-
ture.
The center is open Tuesday - Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It pays cus-
tomers for aluminum and steel beverage cans, glass, plastic soda bottles and
aluminum foil. Prices vary with the market. The center also accepts, but does not
redeem, newsprint and corrugated cardboard. RMR is located between Cedarvale
and Blue Cross, just north of the intersection of Seneca Road and Highway 13.
Look for the sign.
In addition to Recycle Minnesota Resources, there are several other recycling
services in and around Eagan. Please see the list located in the right -hand column
on this page of the newsletter.
The City encourages you to use any of these facilities to help reduce the
amount we throw away. Recycling is a good habit for everyone to practice.

black substance that will naturally accumulate as a result of operating the
fireplace .Tt 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 buildup of
creosote:. Burn: only .that has peen dried for at least: six months At the
top of the chimney, place a:: spark screen This will contain an cscapmg
sparks :and lower the chance of roof:or building Fares, Also, take:: the tune to

SUMMER YOUTH
ASSIST EAGAN PARKS
Eagan residents may have noticed
youth crews working in City parks this
past summer. These crews were from
the Twin Cities Tree Trust and Dakota
County Youth Restitution programs
P Sams a'
The Twin Cities Tree Trust is a non-
profit organization employing disad-
vantaged community youth under a
federally subsidized program. The
work crews typically range from eight
to twelve youths, ages 14-17. The Tree
Trust has worked in Eagan parks for
many years and this summer installed
several playground perimeters and
canoe launch facilities.
The Summer Youth Restitution
Program, is operated by Dakota Coun-
ty Court Services and employs youth
who have been involved with minor
legal offenses. Enrollees in the
program earn minimum wage but must
commit 75% of their earnings as
retribution for their offenses. This
group also assisted with the construc-
tion of new playgrounds and parks
maintenance projects. Both groups
were employed from about mid -June
through mid - August.
These programs have lasting
benefits for both participants and the
City. For many youth this is their first
chance at a full -time job. With it
comes responsibility for developing
sound work habits and being produc-
tive on the job. Participants learn the
value of developing new skills, being a
"team player ", and respecting public
property. Likewise, the City is also a
winner. The youth programs greatly
extend the City's ability to construct
and maintain new park facilities in fast
growing neighborhoods.
RECREATIONAL FIRES
Residents do not need a permit in
order to have a recreational outdoor
fire at their home. However, it is
necessary that the Police Department
be contacted prior to the date the fire
is planned. The following information
should be given to the Police Depart-
ment:
• Date of the fire;
• Place of the fire;
• Time of the fire (from - to); and
• The person in charge and his/her
phone number.
The maximum size for a recrea-
tional fire is 3 feet by 3 feet.
