CITY OF EAGAN ELECTED OFFICIALS Mayor Bea Blomquist Councilmembers Thomas Egan James Smith Vic Ellison Ted Wachter 'Officer's Notebook" by Sgt John Stevenson WATCH OUT - SCHOOLS ARE OPEN! The new school year is upon us and 1 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 fo r the purpose of loading or unloading children, the driver, of any motor vehicle must stop_ completely at least twenty feet away.

Viking Football Cards Again this year, as in the past few years, the Eagan Police Officers will football cards, from August 17th to November 22nd. In each of the fourteen weeks, officers will distribute a new Viking card. To get one, simply ask one of our officers. There are a couple of simple rules. Please don't bother the officer if he or, she is busy or talking to someone. His or her job must come first Please do not run out nto the„ street or run in front of the police car. To signal the officer that you would like a card, "I just wave your arms for him or her to see. If the officer is on a call and cannot stop, in " most cases he or she will try to drive by the area later on. To ensure thetas many kidss" as possible receive cards, only one card to a customer for each time an officer, is stopped.

SNOW SEASON PARKING BAN Even though it is difficult to think about winter and snow while we are enjoying the warm weather of early fall, the snowplowing season will be here before we know it. Eagan residents are reminded that the City has a parking ban which is in effect from November 15 to April 15 of each year. The reason for the ordinance is to provide for more efficient and safer snow removal. From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on odd numbered days, parking is allowed on the odd numbered side of the street; and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on even numbered days, parking is allowed on the even numbered side of the street. For example, if you live at 125 City Street, you can park in front of your residence on odd numbered days (November 15, 17, 19, etc.). However, on even numbered days, you'll have to park across the street from your residence (in front of 124 or 126 City Street). Parking is permitted on either side of the street from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day. Vehicles in violation of the parking ban may be tagged and /or towed. Remember, the ban goes into effect on November 15. 1987 EAGAN PHONE BOOK Members of the Eagan Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association are current- ly working on preparation of the 1987 Eagan Telephone Directory. Firefight have been and will be contacting all Ea businesses to discuss placement of their advertisements in the "yellow pages" of the book. The telephone book is distributed free of charge as a public service to all Eagan residents. In 1986, over 13,000 copies were printed and distributed and the asso- ciation estimates that over 16,000 copies will be needed for 1987. Yellow page advertising revenues cover the costs of printing the book. The association began producing the Eagan directory 13 years ago in answer to re- quests for a directory that would be easier to use than the larger Twin Cities' direc- tories. In addition to listing Eagan residents' names, addresses and phone numbers, the book provides useful community in- formation such as listings of churches, parks, community services, schools, and City of Eagan staff and services. And since the yellow pages list only businesses in the immediate Eagan area, they are much simpler for a resident to use. Businesses which have not been con- tacted by a volunteer firefighter by S tember 15, 1986, are asked to call 454 -0521. Residents who have a correction (or an addition or deletion) should fill out the form in the 1986 directory and mail it to: Eagan Telephone Directory, 3940 Rahn Road, Eagan, MN 55122, by September 15. The 1987 directories will be delivered to all residents in early 1987. EAGAN PARKING BAN NOV 15 TO APRIL 15 6 AM TO 6 PM PARKING ODD DAYS I EVEN DAYS ODD SIDE EVEN SIDE AIRCRAFT NOISE COMPLAINTS The airport noise issue has taken on an increased metropolitan significance in recent years as noise impacted neighbor- hoods around the area have become active in the effort to curb the noise problem. Much of this problem has come about as a result of airline deregulation which has led to dramatic increases in air traffic here and around the country. Aircraft noise is nothing new for Eagan residents. For years, the community has worked to get along with the airport by providing an area of commercial and industrial land use in the northern part of the City. This type of development can better absorb aircraft noise than can resi- dential uses. Many of the businesses in Eagan depend directly on the airport. Its convenience is ortant for those companies with mar- contacts and locations outside of the immediate area. Eagan's location was one of the key elements in Northwest Orient Airlines' decision to open its new corporate headquarters here this fall. But the importance of the airport to City business need not prevent Eagan residents from enjoying their homes and their com- munity. 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 The Eagan City Newspaper is distri- buted three times a year as a public service by the Eagan City Council. The newsletter is sponsored by the ublic Relations Committee and pre- pared through the office of the City Administrator.

Ten acres for a neighborhood park east of Lexington Avenue and north of Wesco Road was purchased this spring. The acquisition was financed through the parks dedication fund, which receives its funds from donations from residential develop - ment No time frame for development has been set for this park. Ohmann- Park and Athletic Fields, a new 15 acre park east of Pilot Knob and south of Cliff Road, is now under acquisition proceedings. Development is not expected on the until 1988 or 1989. The park will combine neighborhood needs and also four soccer fields for youth play. The acquisition of an additional ten acres for Northview Athletic Fields has recently been recommended by the Advisor Parks and Recreation Commission and approved by the City Council. The added property will provide for three softball fields when is completed. Both the Ohmann Park and Northview expansion are being financed through the 1984 parks; bond fund. Other Developments Nearly 30 new decorative park benches have been installed in the Eagan Parks System already this year. Another 20 will be put in by the spring of 1987. The Twin Cities Tree Trust has finished constructing a tie wall aroundthe shoreline of Cedar Pond. The new wall will prevent the erosion of shoreline and will enhance the park's appearance. The Dakota Summer Youth Restitution Program greatly assisted the Parks and Recreation Department this summer. Over 3000 hours of county referred "volunteer” labor resulted in the painting of nine hockey rinks and six warming houses, tree planting at Woodhaven Park and brush clearing on the HighlineTrail. A new boat dock was installed at Fish Lake Park in August If you have any questions regarding park development in the City of Eagan contact the Eagan Park Department at 454 -8100 -3- READ IT NOW • YOUR 8 K T I' Best sellers can now be rented!

Special written notices of public hearings are sent to residents who live within 350 feet of any proposed project. -4- SENECA TREATMENT PLANT The Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in the Minnesota River Valley, is reviewing plans for a major expansion of the facility. A public forum will be held • early October to review the planned i pansion and to receive area resident input and suggestions. Please watch your local newspapers for specific dates and times. In addition, the Seneca Plant is requesting that any residents who experience air quality odor problems generated by the plant call 454 -7860 to register a complaint. A Senaca employee will ask you to answer a few questions about the problem. Only with this specific information can the Seneca Plant work to correct the problems. Complaint information will also be used in planning the future expansion as odor control has been given a high priority. 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 (approximate- ly 13 feet). Although lawn areas may extend all the way to curb line and are subsequently 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 home- owner in accordance with Federal specifi- cations as provided by the local post office. Any other structure or obstruction installed by the homeowner is in violation 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, property line locations, permit process for the installation of pro- posed landscaping facilities, etc. Your cooperation in compliance with this ordinance will be greatly appreciated by the City and will eliminate the pote; frustration and liability associated wi,.1 damages that may occur from an un- authorized installation within the public boulevard right -of -way. SOLID WASTE ABATEMENT COMMISSION —le City of Eagan has formed a Solid Waste Abatement Commission to develop a solid waste strategy for the community. The Commission's specific charge is to develop ways in which the City can reduce its solid waste stream and minimize the use of landfill disposal in the future. The Commission's job is important be- cause state law will make it illegal for City residents to dispose of aluminum, glass, newsprint, yard wastes and office paper in sanitary landfills beginning in 1988. Waste reduction, recycling, resource recovery and centralized processing of waste will be among the alternatives considered by the group to meet this deadline. The Solid Waste Abatement Commission has a big job ahead. It can use your help. The City Council has authorized nine positions on the Commission of which three remain to be filled. If you are inter- ested in serving the City of Eagan as a member of the Commission, send a brief letter to that effect to the City Administrator by September 30. Join your neighbors and local business persons in this important "art.
