Labor Survey ...` Fall Recreation Programs .. 2 .3 .5 . 6' FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE TWIN CITIES AREA Figures recently released by the Metro- politan Council name Eagan as the fas- test growing city in the metropolitan area. Eagan city officials consider that these figures are conservative and do not accurately reflect the growth taking place. According to the Metropolitan Council estimates, Eagan's population increas- ed from 20,700 to 26,470 in the past four years. City officials estimate that the current population is actually over 30,000, in fact, 31,047 as of June 30, 1984. The City's figures are based upon build- ing permit applications received up to June 30, 1984. Housing construction has been averaging approximately 700 dwelling units per year over the past four years. If this pace continues through 1990, the population of Eagan may ex- ceed 40,000 people. September 1984 Vol. 7 No. 3 ROADS TO OPEN! Travel within the City of Eagan has been hampered this summer because of road construction. Major road closures have occurred because of the construction of I -35E through the City and also because of the upgrading of County Road 30 (Diffley Road). However, most of the closed roads are due to open in the near future. Dakota County estimates that the improved County Road 30 from Nicols Road to Blackhawk Road will open around Sep- tember 24, 1984. Roads closed due to the State of Min- nesota's construction of I -35E over- passes are also due to reopen this fall. Blackhawk Road should already be open as of the date of this newsletter. East and West Blue Gentian Roads are due to reopen in approximately mid - October. Diffley Road from Blackhawk Road to Thomas Lake Road; Yankee Doodle Road from Pilot Knob Road to Lex- ington Avenue; and Old Dodd Road (T.H. 149) from T.H. 55 to Mendota Heights Road are due to reopen in mid - November. Even though conditions have been dif- ficult this summer, future travel in the City should be easier, faster and safer due to the new and improved roads. Thanks for your patience! CITY OF EAGAN ELECTED OFFICIALS Mayor Bea Blomquist Councilmembers Thomas Egan James Smith Jerry Thomas Ted Wachter NEW PRECINCT BOUNDARIES ESTABLISHED FOR FALL ELECTIONS New precinct boundaries have been established in the City of Eagan, alter- ing the previous eleven precincts into a total of fourteen. All registered voters have been informed by mail of the pre- cinct in which they should vote for the fall elections. If you have not received notification or if you are not currently a registered voter, please consult the map to find the precinct in which you reside :: and also the polling place at which you should vote. The establishment of new precincts was made necessary because of Eagan's rapid growth rate. The southern sec- tions of the City were affected most by the new boundaries. There were no changes in precincts 1 through 7, but the other four precincts were divided into seven new precincts. Two elections will be held this fall at which voters will be electing various federal and state officials. The primary election, which will determine can- didates, will be held Tuesday, Septem- ber 11, and the general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 6, 1984. The polls at all fourteen precincts will open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. on both election days. If possible, voters are urged to vote during the middle of the day to save time and reduce con- gestion at the polling places. Longest lines are expected in the early morning, after work and in the early evening. New residents, residents who have re- cently become 18 years old and resi- dents who have changed their name or moved within the City of Eagan must register in order to be able to vote. It is too late to pre- register for the primary election. However, it is possible to regis- ter at the polls on election day. To regis- ter, a person must be a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age, a resi- dent of Eagan, and be able to provide proof of residency in one of the follow- ing forms: 1. A valid Minnesota Driver's License, Learner's Permit or a receipt-there- for with an address in the precinct. 2.

EAGAN: A "STAR CITY" The City of Eagan expects to receive a "` - City" rating in late October and o_ gnation ceremonies are planned to be held in conjunction with the "Eagan Commercial /Industry Day" sponsored by the Dakota County Chamber of Com- merce. The Minnesota Department of Economic Development's Star City program is de- signed to indicate cities well - prepared for economic and community develop- ment to business and industry seeking a place to locate. Besides helping cities to organize their development plans and goals, the Star City program offers pres- tige to the cities that are accepted. The Eagan Economic Development Commission, comprised of local busi- ness leaders and City officials, has worked hard during the past year to fulfill the program's requirements. The City of Eagan and Chamber of Com- merce are jointly planning a commercial/ industrial bus tour of the City on Thursday, October 25, for local busi- ness and government officials. T' `our will be followed by the StarCity a. gnation ceremony at the Yankee Square Inn at approximately 5:00 p.m. CREATURE CORNER The City of Eagan requires that all dogs over the age of six months must have received a current rabies shot and must be licensed. Currently, 1,739 dogs are licensed for 1984. Not only does licensing help in finding the owner of a lost pet, but it also reduces the number of rabies problems resulting from dog bites. City ordinances require that dogs and cats not be allowed to run at large. It is also unlawful to allow them to defecate on public property or on the premises of another person. Kennels must be cleaned every 24 hours and there is a limit of no more than three do^s per residence. If yuu have any questions regarding Eagan's regulations, please contact the Animal Warden, Kathleen Gilbertson, at the Eagan Police Station, 454 -3700. AIRCRAFT NOISE IN EAGAN As a result of major concerns expressed by the Mayor and City Council and residents of Eagan, an Airport Noise Committee was appointed by the Council in the Spring of 1984 to thoroughly study the increasing airport noise through- out the community and possible solutions to the problem. Members of the committee are residents of Eagan. They are Tom Baker, Carol Dozois, Don Giblin, John Gustin, Joe Harrison, Bart Schmidt, Bob Swenson, and Dick Victor. The committee has been meeting every otherweekduring the summer months. They have invited to their meetings representatives of the Federal Aviation. Administration and local legislators in order to discuss the increased noise and its impact on the City. After gathering a great amount of data, the committee will present afactfinding report to the City Council at the regular City Council meeting on September 18th. Actual counts of airplane landings and takeoffs at Minneapolis -St. Paul Inter- national Airport during the last two weeks in May and one week in June showed that 1,579 planes took off and 2,035 landed over Eagan, a total of 3,614. These figures are compared to those of other communities as follows: 1,748 planes took off and 1,192 landed over south Minneapolis, a total of 2,940; 1,089 planes took off and 296 landed over Richfield and Bloomington, a total of 1,385; and 73 took off and 170 landed over Highland Park, a total of 243. Many complaints from Eagan residents have been received due to a two year experimental route which sends air traffic down the Cedar Avenue Freeway area instead of straight over Bloomington andthe Minnesota River. This is the second year of the experiment, at the end of which the FAA will decide whether or not to make the new route permanent. Residents who have complaints about airplane noise should call the Sound Abatement Council at the airport, 726 -9411. The impact of noise on an area is measured by the number of complaint calls this office receives. The Eagan City Council is extremely concerned about the current airport noise situation. Residents are urged to contact the Sound Abatement Council with their complaints and to contact committee members with any suggestions and recommendations for solutions to the problem. KEEP THE BOULEVARD AREA CLEAR! As fall approaches, the City would like to remind all property owners that there are certain specific restrictions as to what landscaping can be performed and what objects can be placed within public rights -of -way. Of particular concern is the public boulevard area which is located from the back of the curbing to your property line (a distance of approximately 13 feet). Although lawn areas may extend all the way to the curb line and are subsequently maintained by the property owner, this boulevard area is public right -of -way and is reserved solely for the installation of public utilities, snow storage and mail boxes, provided they are installed by the homeowner in accordance with Federal speci- fications as provided by the local post office. Any other structure or obstruction installed by the homeowner is in violation of City ordinance and should be removed as soon as possible. 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 processes for the installation of pro- posed landscaping, etc. -3- "OFFICERS NOTEBOOK" Does the Eagan Police Department conduct a Firearms Safety or Snowmobile Safety Class? Q. A. Yes, both. The Firearms Course is usually offered in late September of each year and the Snowmobile Course is given two months later. Watch the local papers for dates and times. Q. Where can 1 duck hunt in Eagan? A. With only a few exceptions, hunting in Eagan is prohibited. Only persons who own, or lease, five or more acres of land, zoned agricultural, and are not within 500' of neighbor's building oran occupied residence and are not creating a nuisance or dangerto others, may hunt. They may only hunt with shot shells and they may have guests hunt with them, but the guests may not hunt without the landowner or lessee present. Also, it is illegal to discharge any weapon (except for the above) within the City limits, including air guns and BB guns. In the future there may be some limited hunting area set aside, such as Fort Snelling State Park, but these will be strictly regulated. O. How can I get some of the Vikings football cards? A. Again this year the Eagan Police will be distributing Viking football cards. , The program started August 12th and a new card will be available each week for 18 weeks. Each week will feature a new card, featuring a Viking player and a crime prevention tip. To get your card just ask any police officer. Please don't run out into the street or bother the officer when he is busy. There will be plenty of chances to get a card. Send your questions or comments to: "Officer's Notebook" C/O Officer John Stevenson Eagan Police Department 3830 Pilot Knob Road 454 -3900 TOO MANY SIGNS! The building boom in Eagan has produced a sprouting of signs all over the City. Many of these signs are illegally placed in the road right -of -way, have no sign permits or need to have their annual permits renewed. The City has a requirement that all signs are allowed by permit only. This means that all ground signs, building signs, advertising and business pylon signs, whether temporary or permanent, must have an up -to -date permit. The singular exception to this regulation is the "For Sale" or "For Rent" sign which advertises the premises upon which the sign is located. I n order to maintain control over sign size and placement, the City will remove all signs illegally located within the road right -of -way. Numbered stickers will be issued for all signs which have current sign permits. Notices will be sent to sign owners without current permits stating that they have 30 days to apply for a permit or to pay their renewal fees - or to remove the sign. According to City Code, "All signs which have not been removed within the desig- nated time period may, after due notice, be removed by the City and any expense incurred thereof may be charged tothesign owner or assessed against the proper- ty on which they are located." (Sec. 4.20. Subd. 10.) The rapid and continued growth of Eagan dictates a need for tight control of accessory services which come with that growth. It is hoped that these steps will serve to relieve the City of much of the clutter directly attributable to signs. -4- • YOUR A LIBRARY 167 OUT C T" The Dakota County Library System is the first place to look for all the answers you need.

Survey Design This past May and June, Eagan's Economic Development Commission under- took to survey Eagan's labor force as a part of the Star City program. The prin- cipal goals were to determine the essential characteristics of the workforce, and to gather some of their attitudes towards work. A total of 1,950 households were surveyed; 1,500 private residences and 450 apartments and condominiums. Two waves of surveys were sent out with 4,000 actual questionnaires in each mailing. Survey Results The response rate was excellent. Assuming a population average of adults per household, the response rate in percent terms was 47%. Our statistical consultant, from St. Cloud University, concluded that such a response rata indicates a high sense of community among Eagan residents. Some of the important demographic finds are as follows: (1) The Eagan labor force is relatively young, with over 50% of ulation under the age of 35. (2) Nearly, 3's of the Eagan labor force is married. (3) The labor force is exceptionally educated; (a) 97% have complete high school. (b) 40% have attended vocational or trade school. (c) 60% have attended college at least one year, while 3596 have earned a Bachelor's level degree, and another 6% have earned a Master's level degree. Employment Characteristics Among residents who work in Eagan, the median wage is $8.84 per hour for Hourly wage earners, and $2,204 per month for monthly wage earners. The typical Eagan resident who would consider changing jobs could be enticed to do so with a wage increase of 12.3%. Years Employed in Occupation 0 - 3 years 4 -7 8 -11 12-15` 16 -19 20 or more the adult pop- Percent of Those Employed 20.4% 28.5% 18.1 13.2°10 8.4 11.496 The national lack of earning parity by gender was also evident in Eagan. The average hourly wage for males was $12.38, and $7.37 for women, while the average monthly wage for males was $2,658, and for women $1,678. Worker Attitudes Several attitudinal questions were asked with these results. (1) MY PERSON- ALITY IS SUITED FOR MY CURRENT JOB; 92.7% of the males agree, 89.2% of the females agree. (2) WHERE 1 WORK, I CAN INFLUENCE THE. WAY THE COMPANY OPERATES; 64.2% of the males agree, and 45.8% of the females agree. (3) I FIND MY CURRENT JOB SATISFYING; 84.19'0 of the males agree, and 76.4% of the females agree. In addition to the results presented above, there were also hundreds of pages of crosstabulationtoo voluminous to report here. The tremendous success of he Labor Survey will greatly enhance Eagan's efforts to attain Star City designation. The Eagan Economic Development Commission, and the Eagan City Council sincerely appreciate the enthusiastic response by Eagan residents. Once again, thank you all very much! -5- THE 1984 EAGAN VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT DIRECTORY IS .. . COMING! We are making every effort this year to insure the accuracy of your direc- tory.

Dripping faucets or other unsuspected leaks can seriously affect the amount of water for which users are billed. The Utility Division of the Public Works Department advises homeow- ners to periodically check their water systems for leaks. At 40 pounds of pressure: • a 1/32" leak wastes 170 gallons in 24 hours. • a 1/16" leak wastes 600 gallons in 24 hours. a 1/8" leak wastes 2500 gallons in 24 hours. At 640 per thousand gallons, the small- est of these leaks could add over$40 to your annual water bill. Stop the leaks!
