CITY OF EAGAN ELECTED OFFICIALS Mayor Bea Blomquist Councilmembers Thomas Egan James Smith Jerry Thomas Ted Wachter 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 regularbicy- 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. -2- 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 "Lone Oak Years," the book is a collection of 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 "perserverence 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 Diffley, Elizabeth Kennealy, Art Rahn, Rodger 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 ssistance in suggesting topics about Eagan and its government which they woulds' like to see presented. Please mail program topic suggestions to: Local Access Suggestions City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 PARK DEVELOPMENT GOING STRONG! 'ark development activities are begin - ling to progress at a rapid rate as a esult of last years successful passage )f the parks bond referendum. Already :ompleted are the lighting and improve- nent contract for Northview Park, ten - court repair, and playground equip- nent installation at four locations. 3rading at Rahn Athletic Fields was )egun last fall with seeding to be com- )leted by mid -summer this year. )etail plans and specifications were )repared for four parks and contracts )id and awarded for construction to )egin this spring.

Obviously, :he Advisory Parks & Recreation Com- Tnission 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 refer to each separate residence? Hopefully, 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. LOGO CONTEST WINNERS Winners in the City Celebration Logo Contest have been selected.

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 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 leaves raked and never rake them into the water. The City of Eagan cares about the quality its lakes and ponds and hopes that the residents share these concerns.

The meaning is ... Look at your park bu don't touch. Parks in the City of Eagan are developed to be used. You are encouraged to run an( 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 o other park users. Would you applaud the racing of motorcycles or three wheelers in the yard of you home? Would you encourage spray paint graffiti on your backyard swing set? Do yon find a neighborhood dog relieving itself in your yard acceptable? Do you invite stranger to hit golf balls off your lawn or to throw litter and broken glass onto your patio? Then activities are not acceptable in City parks either.
