FallCITY OF EAGAN 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 liAGAN NEWS Ca• SEPTEMBER 1988 Volume 11 No. 3 Phone: 454 -8100 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. n orm Library News::: ::....................................:..... ............................... .................................. ............................... ............. ............................... . ................

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.

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! 3 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. 4 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., Mpls., MN 55450. 5 "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 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. 7 RECYCLING::: everal:: :grqups:•::ani in:and around ?Eagan serve'the: co ..... ............................... munity;by :taki ig';a :variet abler::;;: Eagan :::rodents : ar couraged :to::clip` this??list ::and: make::' Tse: :: of: : these ? waste:: is abatemen ; resources in >the:future. ...................... ............................... ; St. ohn N eumann :Catholie : : Church, ilot::Knob: >Roai Eagan : Tr cr:;Open Anytime ; • NEWSPAPERS :(BAGGED 0 :::: ,... .: :.

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. SCHOOL'S OUT PARTY! RAHN PARK Kids, spend your day off from school having fun at Rahn Park.
