EAGAN BICYCLE SAFETY PROGRAM EXPANDS IN 1985
The Eagan Police Department will be adding a full -time Bicycle Patrol Cadet to
its staff this summer as a part of its Bicycle Safety Program. The department will
fund the temporary position through a grant it has received from the University
of Minnesota Agriculture Extension Service. Eagan was among 19 Minnesota
cities receiving funds in this grant program.
In the past, Bicycle Safety Program Director, Officer Larry Billmeyer, has par-
ticipated with the local schools and communiity groups to educate young peo-
ple in safe bicycle operation. Program activities have included classroom
demonstrations, bicycle rodeos, and equipment safety inspections. The addi-
tion of the Cadet will allow the program to be expanded to include a regular bicy-
cle patrol, a system . for bicycle registrations and more presentation
opportunities.
The Bicycle Patrol Cadet will patrol the City streets and bike paths. The duty will
add an enforcement side to the program's educational focus. The cadet will be
able to issue written warnings, but this will only be done as a part of the larger
purpose of encouraging safe bicycle operation by riders in our City.
In addition, the cadet will assist Jan Quale, the City's Deputy Bicycle Registar, in
the registration of bicycles in the community. By registering a bicycle with the
State of Minnesota, the owner.
1. Improves the chance of its recovery, if stolen;
2. Contributes to the development of bicycling facilities in Minnesota; and
2. Provides a means of identifying children, if injured in an accident.
The Eagan Police Department is pleased to be able to add this service for the
community. If you have questions about the program, bicycle registration, or
presentations for your neighborhood or group, please contact the Eagan Bicy-
cle Safety Program at 454 - 3700. As always, the Eagan Police Department
hopes you have a safe bicycling season.
BOULEVARD LANDSCAPING
The City would like to remind all property owners that there are certain specific restric-
tions as to what landscaping can be performed within public rights -of -way. Of par -
ticular 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 curb line and are subsequently main-
tained 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 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 he 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.

CITY HISTORY BOOK
The Eagan history book is presently in
the final stages of publication and will
be available for purchase beginning the
Fourth of July weekend. Titled "L
Oak Years," the book is a collection,
facts, remembrances, stories, pictures
and maps which present the history of
Eagan and the area from earliest times.
Viking Press is publishing the 260 page
volume which includes over 150 his-
toric photographs. The book was edited
by Lisa Fleming from material collected
by the Eagan History Committee.
The committee began assembling the
material in 1978. Appointed by the City
Council, the first chairman of the com-
mittee was the late Herb Polzin, Eagan's
first mayor, to whom the book is
dedicated.
The second chairman of the committee
is Francis Dembroski. As the forward of
the book states, his "pers in
researching hundreds of sources,
seeking photographs and organizing
materials gave the book its shape
and scope."
Other members of the committee who
spent many hours contacting and inter-
viewing long -time residents of Eagan
include Arnold Carlson, James Di'
Elizabeth Kennealy, Art Rahn, Rooyer
Slater and Alyce Bolke.
The price of the book will be $8.95.
Copies will be available for purchase at
the City Celebration events during the
Fourth of July weekend and also at the
Eagan Municipal Center.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO
HOST CABLE TV PROGRAM
Eagan City Administrator Tom Hedges
will be featured in a regular Burnsville/
Eagan cable, local access television
program in the near future. Mr. Hedges
has expressed enthusiasm for the oppor-
tunity to use this medium to keep
residents in touch with their city and
its government.
There are numerous areas which could
be the focus of different program
segments. In order to make the show
more interesting to Eagan citizens, Mr.
Hedges would appreciate their assis-
tance in suggesting topics about Eagan
and its government which they would
like to see presented.

PARK DEVELOPMENT
GOING STRONG!
Park development activities are begin-
ning to progress at a rapid rate as a
lult of last year's successful passage
the parks bond referendum. Already
completed are the lighting .and improve-
ment contract for Northview Park, ten-
nis court repair, and playground equip-
ment installation at four locations.
Grading at Rahn Athletic Fields was
begun last fall with seeding to be com-
pleted by mid - summer this year.
Detail plans and specifications were
prepared for four parks and contracts
bid and awarded for construction to
begin this spring. This $500,000 con-
tract will provide for all grading, utilities,
parking lots, seed and sod.
While construction continues on these
four parks, other parks are entering the
detail design stage in anticipation of
future construction contracts. Obviously,
the Advisory Parks & Recreation Com-
mission and City staff are and will be
kept busy with the development of our
City parks.
DISPLAY YOUR
HOUSE NUMBER
Please help your Fire and Police
Departments locate your home in
case of emergency!
In emergency situations, seconds can
mean life or death for the persons con-
cerned, but countless seconds can be
wasted by police, fire or paramedic per-
sonnel responding to an emergency
call if they cannot quickly and easily
locate the address at which the
emergency is located.
The Eagan City Code requires that any
building fronting upon any street or
avenue have house numbers clearly
displayed on the street side of the
building. The numbers shall be a mini-
mum of three (3) inches high and in a
color contrasting with its background.
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 being
hidden by landscaping or other obstruc-
tions? If you live in a townhouse or mul-
tiple residence, do the numbers clearly
rr r to each separate residence?
1 ,,efully, emergency personnel will
never have to locate your home. But, if
they do, it will be extremely important
that they be able to locate it as quickly
as possible.

STORM WARNINGS
Spring and summer are times when
severe storms and tornadoes are poss-
ible occurrences in Eagan and Dakota
County. The City of Eagan has install(
eight civil defense warning sirens 1..
the community.
The City of Eagan has decided, along
with the Cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville,
Lakeville and Rosemount, to activate
the sirens in the event of a severe storm
warning, in addition to activation for
severe thunderstorm, tornadoes and
nuclear attack
The cities have decided to warn residents
of severe storms because sometimes
storms which have been only severe in
nature in the Twin Cities have developed
into very severe storms as they entered
into Dakota County. Also, at times, a
storm may already be affecting this area
before a warning is issued by met-
ropolitan sources.
Anyone who hears a warning siren
should tune into one of the major radio
or television stations. Do not phone
the police dispatch center unless there
is an actual emergency. Dispatchers
will relay information to the U.S. Weather
Service, which in turn is monitored by all
major radio and TV stations.
FERTILIZER TIPS
Fertilizers should be used very carefully in
order to avoid affecting the water quality in
Eagan's lakes and ponds. Here are a few
tips:
1. Soil testing is the 1st step for serious
lawn care. Call the Soil Testing Labor-
atory at 373 -1061. There is a $4 fee.
2. When choosing a fertilizer, the letters
NPKwill be shown on the container anc
stand for Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium
The percentages of each will be given. It
is recommended that the amount of phos-
phorus (P) never exceed the amount of
Nitrogen (N) by a 4 (N) to 1 ((P) mixture.
3. Look for the letters W.I.N. on the con-
tainer which stands for water insoluble
nitrogen and makes the fertilizer safer
and longer lasting.
4. Apply fertilizer 2 or 3 times a year -once
after first mowing and again in mid-
summer and mid -fall.
5. Allow at least a 10 foot buffer next to
shorelines.
6. Water more often and in lighter amounts;
about a tenth of an inch a day.
7. Read instructions carefully.
8. Lake shore residents should keep lea" ^S
raked and never rake them into
water.
The City of Eagan cares about the quality
its lakes and ponds and hopes that the
residents share these concerns.

DON'TS IN A PARK
Perhaps everyone has seen the cartoon of a child walking through a city park only to
read signs saying "STAY OFF THE GRASS ", "DON'T LITTER ", "DON'T PICK THE
FLOWERS ", "ENJOY YOUR CITY PARK". The meaning is ... Look at your park but
don't touch.
Parks in the City of Eagan are developed to be used. You are encouraged to run and
play on a play field, to test the challenge of your playground equipment, to pack a pic-
nic lunch and go to your park and to take pride in your neighborhood park facility.
At the same time, it is anticipated that you recognize how your neighborhood park is
vulnerable to activites that destroy, deface, create a nuisance or are thoughtless of
other park users.
Would you applaud the racing of motorcycles or three wheelers in the yard of your
home? Would you encourage spray paint graffiti on your backyard swing set? Dc
find a neighborhood dog relieving itself in your yard acceptable? Do you invite strany..,s
to hit golf balls off your lawn or to throw litter and broken glass onto your patio? These
activities are not acceptable in City parks either.
"Enjoy Your City Parks"
"PICNIC KITS"
The City of Eagan Parks & Recreation
Department will again offer "picnic kits"

fee will be charged.

sive "picnic kW' is available. It includes

at the time the equipment is picked
