SummerE CITY OF EAG 3795 PILOT KNOB ROAD EAGAN, MN 55122 PHONE: 454 -8100 AN NEWS THE LONE OAK TREE...THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY MAY 1983 VOLUME 6 NUMBER 1 NEW LIBRARY & COURT FACILITY The library is open! Eagan residents, city and county officials and 42,000 books were on hand March 20 to launch the Eagan branch of the Dakota County Library Sys- tem. The building's three spacious levels house adult and juvenile fiction and non fiction, reference and audio /visual ma- terials, private study carrels, comforta- bleding lounges display cases, com- mun ooms (one with a projection booth and capacity of 150) and administrative offices for the county library system. The $3.8 million facility, which is all paid for, is situated on Wescott Road just west of the Police Department building on ten acres donated by the City of Eagan. The library's wide southern windows pro- vide a beautiful view of Patrick Eagan ark. Library hours are noon to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Com- munity rooms are available for group reservation; call 452 -9600 for more infor- mation. Another county building now under con- struction in Eagan is the satellite court facility at the corner of Rahn and Cliff Roads. The building will house two court- rooms, court services and the county court. These services are presently pro- vided at the older building in Burnsville. The 13,325 square foot facility is being constructed by R. J. Ryan, Inc., of Bloomington. It is expected to be ready for occupancy by the end of December 1983. NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS All i ngs of the City Council and advi- sor issions are posted on a daily bas the community bulletin boards which are located at the City Hall and Police Department buildings. Notices can be publicly inspected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the lobby of the Police Department or during normal working hours at the City Hall. If you have any ques- tions regarding meeting agendas, please call City Hall at 454 -8100. BURGLARIES DOWN - THANK YOU! Even though Eagan is growing explosively, burglaries in the City decreased from 229 in 1981 to 142 last year. Part of the reason for the reduction, the Police De- partment believes, is citizen involvement. By reporting strange or suspicious auto- mobiles, persons or activity and forming Neighborhood Watch groups, residents have helped police recover stolen property and arrest individuals involved in burglaries. In response to calls, officers have ques- tioned many suspicious people and may have prevented them from committing crimes. The Police Department encourages and will help organize Neighborhood Watch groups. Officer Larry Billmeyer conducts these programs with residents; call 454 -3700 for more information. In addition, "Operation I.D." is available to residents of Eagan. The Police Depart- ment feels that Operation I.D. is a worth- while project. A few minutes of your time could well save you time and money if, at some -later date, you should become the victim of a theft or burglary. A visit to the Police Department is all it takes. They will assign you your own personal I.D. number and give you literature to aid you in the marking and cataloging of your property. If you are going on vacation this summer, there are some precautions you can take to insure the safety of your property: 1.. Have a neighbor watch your home. 2. Cancel your paper and mail deliveries. 3. Arrange to have your lawn mowed. 4. Use a timer light. 5. Join Operation I.D. and display the Operation I.D. sticker. 6. Call the Eagan Police Department at 454 -3700 if you are going to be gone for any extended period of time and they will make periodic checks of your home looking for any suspicious acti- vity. If you see suspicious activity or believe a crime is being committed, call 911. Your alertness and cooperation is keeping Eagan's crime rate down! BUILDING & ROAD CONSTRUCTION There will be a substantial number of new Eagan residents this year, according to the building permits issued so far. In the first quarter of 1983, permits were issued for 92 single - family, fourteen duplex and 21 multi - family units. Almost half of the permits were taken Out in March. The 1983 total building permits -- including residential, commercial, and industrial — carry a valuation of $11,153,000. Roads, bridges and interchanges for Inter- states 35E and 494 are also under con- struction. Lone Oak Road will be closed from April to November in order to build an interchange for 35E. The 35E /Cliff Road interchange is scheduled for comple- tion in June, 1984. Work on the Diffley Road /35E interchange is scheduled to start in the fall of 1984 with completion in the spring of 1985. The entire segment of 35E through Eagan will not be open to travel until 1987. For those who wish to take the new 494 bridge to the airport, the connection will not be completed until November 1984. The 494 -35E interchange will be ready by mid -1984. It will be a few years yet before 494 is complete to Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul. INSIDE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID IN DANGER....2 CABLE TV 2 PARKS COMMISSION VACANCY 3 SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAMS 4 The Eagan City Newsletter is dis- tributed three times a year as a public service. The newsletter is prepared through the office of the City Administrator. STORM WARNINGS Spring and summer are times when severe storms and tornados are possible occuren- ces in Eagan and Dakota County. The City of Eagan has installed eight civil defense warning sirens in 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 thunder storms, tornados 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 al- ready be affecting this area before a warning is issued by metropolitan sources. Anyone who hears a warning siren should tune into one of the major radio or tele- vision stations. Do not phone the police dispatch center unless there is an actual emergency. Dispatchers will relay infor- mation to the U.S. Weather Service, which in turn is monitored by all major radio and TV stations. Normal testing, which is designed to check out equipment, takes place at 1:00 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month. At this time, residents should review the action to take if there were an actual warning. During the test signal, both the wail and the steady tone are activated for only one minute, each with one minute of silence between. An actual warning will be a steady three minute tone. CREATURES' CORNER The City would like to remind residents that the Eagan City Code does not permit dogs and cats to run at large within the City. All dogs must be licensed and have their rabies shots up to date. Dog licenses were due on February 20th. Dogs may be licensed at City Hall. A total of 82 dogs and cats have been impounded so far in 1983. Animals that are not claimed are destroyed after being held for six days. Please license and watch your pets. If you do lose a pet, call the Police De- partment (454 -3700) and file a missing animal report. Publicity, such as circu- lating a notice with the pet's description and offering a reward, probably gives the best chance of recovering it. If you can no longer keep an animal, you can call the Ramsey County Humane Society (646 -6328) or the Animal Ark in Rosemount (423- 3618). If the animal is old, it has little chance of being adopted and it is recommended that you take it to your veterinarian for disposal if possible. The costs for adopting animals from the Ramsey County Humane Society are: cats, $18.00 (neutered, spayed or declawed $24.00); dogs, 36.00 (neutered or spayed $42.00); rabbits and guinea pigs, $5.00; hamsters, white rats and gerbils, $2.00. Cats and dogs from the Animal Ark are $35.00; all that are old enough are neutered or spayed and have all shots. LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID IN DANGER The Minnesota Legislature is considering a change in the local government aid for- mula, which determines the amount of aid money a city receives each year. Economic uncertainties in recent years have resulted in delayed and reduced aids for all Minnesota cities. In the past, the main purpose of local government aid has been defined as property tax relief. The formula has tended to favor cities with high real estate levies, regardless of why the levies have been high. As a result, Eagan's relatively low mill rate has kept the city from receiving much local govern- ment aid money. The state's lack of revenue tends to heighten the uneven distribution and make solutions harder to find. On a 1983 per capita basis, Eagan receives $15 compared to $34 for Burnsville and Mendota Heights. Minneapolis receives $137 and St. Paul $110 in per capita aid. Minneapolis and the Governor are proposing bills which would make the per capita dif- ferences even greater. The City of Eagan currently receives $ 356,380 . Under the formulas that are being proposed and strongly considered by the Minnesota Legis- lature, the City of Eagan could lose its entire government aid amount. While these proposals would provide aid distribution and tax relief for many cities, theycon- versely would require a tax increase for the City of Eagan in order to replace the local government aid money it would no longer receive from the state. In other words, Eagan would still contribute tax money to the local government aid program but would receive little or no aid money back under the proposed legislation. Unfortunately, the present and proposed local government aid formulas are structured to award more money to those cities which have and have had the larger budgets and which provide more services (i.e., some cities provide garbage pick up as a city service or have more em- ployees per capita, etc.). Because Eagan has been conservative and budget conscious:,, under the proposed legislation it would receive less or no local government aid monies. A coalition of small cities and metro -area communities have been promoting another bill which would reduce the difference and increase Eagan's per capita aid. Eagan has been suggesting that a distribution based on a per capita formula would make the distribution more even. This bill has not received much favorable attention. A proposal has also been presented which would establish a commission to study the entire local government aid issue during the next two years. At the time of the printing of this news- letter, nothing has been decided, but some type of aid adjustment will probably emerge by the end of the 1983 legislative session on May 23rd. CABLE TV The Eagan and Burnsville City Councils have recently given preliminary approval to Group W's cable television pr 1. Group W was the only bidder for the s- ville /Eagan cable franchise. gal counsel for the cities' joint cable com- mission is now preparing a franchise ordi- nance that both councils and the Minnesota Cable Communications Board must approve. Group W's proposal includes a 65 channel hook -up at a monthly subscriber cost of $10.95. More channels or services can be added for an extra charge. It is anti- cipated that 'work will start this summer and some Eagan residents in the initial service area will be receiving cable tele- vision in the spring of 1984. Group W has 18 months to have the system installed and operational. A brochure printed by Group W about it services and plans for Eagan /Burnsville is available at City Hall. CONTRACTOR LICENSING In accordance with Section 6.42 of the Eagan City Code, contractors are now re- quired to be licensed with the City of Eagan prior to performing work of any type. A Contractor's License will be re- quired of general contractors, masonry and cement contractors, roofin on- tractors, swimming pool installend heating and ventilation contractors. ach applicant for a license must provide a Certificate of Insurance, a $5,000.00 Surety Bond and a $25.00 License Fee. A home owner performing his own work is exempt from the licensing requirement when the fair market value of the work being done is less than $5,000.00. If the work being performed by a home owner is over $5,000.00 in value, the home owner must also provide the City with a Certificate of Insurance and a $5,000.00 bond. It also should be noted that in accordance with the State Building Code all plumbing, sewer and water installations performed i in a new home or a non -owner occupied home are to be completed by a plumber licensed with both the State of Minnesota and the City of Eagan. SOLICITORS MUST BE LICENSED Warm weather and spring fixup projects usually bring door -to -door solicitors offering goods or services or collecting contributions. Residents should be aware that these businesses must be licensed or registered with the City. Ap nts for licenses are investigated the Police Department to help insure fa and honest sales practices. The City Code protects residents from "harrassment, nuisance, theft, deceit or menacing, troublesome or otherwise unlawful activ- ities" by solicitors. If you have questions, complaints or want to know if a solicitor is licensed, call City Hall (454- 8100). NEW CITY HALL Ground breaking ceremonies took place at the new Eagan Municipal site on Wednesday, April 14. Mayor Bea Blomquist, Council- men Tom Egan, Jim Smith, Jerry Thomas and Wachter, City Administrator Tom Hedges, Sven Anderson of Boarman Archi- tects, and Bob Voronyak, President of Voronyak Construction, all donned hard hats and manned the shovels in honor of the occasion. Soon to be constructed is an 11,000 square foot second floor addition to the present Police Department Building. It will house the city administrative staff and city council chambers. The city hall staff hopes to move into the new quarters by November 1, 1983. S'he present city hall facility will be :Inverted to house Fire Department ad- ministration and the ambulance service and will contain a community meeting room. Eagan voters approved a $965,000 bond issue in September 1982, and plans have been taking shape over the winter months. Voronyak Construction of Minneapolis was the low bidder for the project. AIRPORT NOISE ZONE GUIDELINES ?our zones of areas affected by airport anise, and guidelines to control land use In them, have been defined by the Metro - aolitan Council. Zones 3 ( "Significant Raise ") and 4 ( "Moderate Noise ") include cart northern Eagan. The guidelines anco land uses that are compatible with a rport noise (such as industry) and iiscourage incompatible uses (such as iousing). tesidents who live within the zones will lot have to make any changes to their misting homes, but if they build new additions, they must insulate for noise arotection. Most of the affected Eagan Land is slated for industrial use. ?lanning for compatible land use is the :hird policy that the Metro Council adopted for reducing airport noise prob- lems. The first policy is to use quieter angines on planes; the second is to modify airport schedules and flight paths to :ring less noise to residential areas. :onments and complaints on airport noise :an be directed to Tim Anderson, Manager of Noise Abatement and Environmental \ffairs for the Metropolitan Airports Com- mission, at 729 -1892, ext. 240.

ENERGY CONSERVATION SERVICE In 1982 Eagan residents paid approximately $5 million for home energy; in 2000 they could be paying $27 million. To help homeowners keep their gas and electricity costs down, the Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning and Development is working with four metropolitan utility companies to provide home energy audits. The program, called the Minnesota Energy Conservation Service (MECS), provides energy -use inspections of homes and sug- gestions that could save an average of 30% of the energy cost through conserva- tion measures. You can participate in MECS if you are a homeowner or tenant of an apartment with four or fewer units and receive a gas or electric bill from Minnesota Gas Company, Northern States Power Company or Peoples Natural Gas. For a one -time fee of $10, a state - certified auditor will examine the use of 23 energy measures in your home and their costs and paybacks. Suggestions on financing improvements, a list of approved contractors and suppliers, and a post installment inspection are also provided. The customer will not be pres- sured to buy or make changes, but will receive unbiased information on how to cut energy costs. The MECS audit takes about two hours, during which the customer must be home. Evening and Saturday ap- pointiments are available. To arrange an audit, call the utility company that serves you: NSP (330- 2922), Peoples Natural Gas (463- 7121), or Minnegasco (for residents of River Hills; 372 - 4670). 7 SEWER & WATER INFORMATION The rates for sewer and water in the City of Eagan, effective January 1, 1983, are as follows: For residences: sanitary sewer minimum is 15,000 gallons per quarter at $17.10 and $1.04 per 1,000 for all usage over 15,000 gallons; calculations are based on winter quarter consumption. Residents who are on the municipal sewer only are charged $23.00 per quarter. Water minimum is 15,000 gallons per quarter at $14.90 and .64 per 1,000 gallons for all usage over 15,000 gallons. For senior citizens, retired or disabled residents the minimum for sewer and water is 7,500 gallons per quarter.

All sewer and water utility bills are due by the end of the month in which they are received. A 10% penalty is added to all bills not received by the last day of the month the bill is due. If you are moving, please notify the sewer and water department at least three days before your moving date so a final reading can be taken and a forwarding address obtained. Plans for a water treatment facility to remove iron and manganese from the City's water to clear up our chronic "rusty water" problems are proceeding.

T ar long study has recently included a es of neighborhood workshops to review the plan and proposed neighborhood park con - cepts. Comments from residents in attendance at those workshops will be in- cluded in the final plan. The study will continue with the completion of the priority and implementation phase. A public hearing will be held prior to the final adoption of the plan. PROTECT YOUR PARKS Each year, many of the City's parks are vandalized. Unfortunately, broken picnic tables and benches and cars driving onto parklands, ripping up the turf, are common occurrences. These unnecessary acts of destruction and mischief waste the tax- payers' money and City staff time in re- pair and cleanup. You can help stop this waste. If you see an act of vandalism, notify the Eagan Police Department by dialing 911. Your quick response will save your tax money and make your parks more enjoyable. TELEPHONE NUMBER: 454 -7802 PARK EQUIPMENT • Several neighborhood associations have made contributions to the City for play equipment and park development in their areas. If your neighborhood association is interested in attempting to improve your local parks, the City's Parks & Recreation Director, Ken Vraa, would like to meet with you. Please call him at 454 -7802 to arrange a meeting. BUSINESS PHONE ZIP to cover registration.
