TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JULY 28, 1995
SUBJECT: AUGUST 1, 1995 SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
The Special City Council meeting is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at the softball complex on
the Unisys Campus. A van will be available for conducting the driving portion of the tour.
Promptness for the 4:00 tour will allow for ample time to drive and walk the site as well
as travel time to Blackhawk Middle School to start the second part of the workshop
session at 5:00 p.m. A light dinner will be served at the school.
TOUR UNISYS SITE
The Director of Community Development, Director of Parks and Recreation and the City
Administrator have had meetings with Joe Miller and his legal counsel to discuss
development concepts for the 80 acre Unisys parcel. Mr. Miller has an option on the
property through the end of December, 1995. In addition to staff meetings with Mr. Miller,
the Mayor and City Administrator were asked to meet and share the same discussions
the staff has had regarding the proposed development of the Unisys site.
A tour will allow the City Council to see the potential park development elements such as
wetlands, woods, site elevations, which helps the City determine whether the Unisys site
is a candidate for a central park theme. An executive golf course, community center,
open space, sense of place and the many features considered for the Opus development
are all possibilities for 80 acre site. Joe Miller has been extremely cooperative with staff
as we pursue, conceptually, various ideas to develop the property as parkland, retail and
a type of housing element.
The Director of Parks and Recreation will have some conceptual drawings showing how
a community park could integrate with other development on the 80 acre site sometime
in early September. Mr. Miller is aware of the City's planning efforts and though invited
has chosen not to be a part of the tour on Thursday.
CONSIDER TEN YEAR FIRE DEPARTMENT CIP AND STATION 1 IMPROVEMENTS
At the July 11 Special City Council meeting, Fire Chief Nelson, members of the Volunteer
Fire Department and the Architect Art Dickey were present to discuss the proposed
remodelling for Fire Station #1. Concerns were raised about the budget variance of
$185,702 to complete the project. As stated at the meeting by Fire Chief Nelson, the
original work plan or initial five year CIP request was for approximately $250,000. That
amount was considered prior to the 1992 through 1996 CIP. The 1993 through 1997 CIP
included the remodelling of Fire Station #1 as a 1994 project estimated at$125,000. This
amount does not reappear in the 1994 through 1998 or 1995 through 1999 CIP's. Some
of the confusion identified at the Special Council meeting was the City Council's CIP
interpretation that if a project is identified in the approved CIP, it is only a guideline to an
expenditure. The Fire Department Executive Committee has assumed that if the amount
was approved in the CIP, those dollars had been set aside for the project whether it
reappears or not on a future five year CIP. This confusion has been clarified that each
CIP represents any past, present of future needs that have been identified as
expenditures in the most up-to-date five year CIP.
The Fire Department Executive Committee was asked to prepare a ten year CIP
projection in addition to a restudy oj the proposed Fire Station #1 improvements.
Enclosed on pages through 5 is a copy of a memo from Fire Chief Nelson that
addresses these points.
Also enclosed on pages (c through S is a copy of the June 29 memo from Fire
Chief Nelson that addresses the Fire station #1 remodelling, acquisition of training
property and summary of the 1995 CIP projects as presented to the City Council at the
July 11 meeting. Also enclosed without page number is a copy of the 1992, 1993, 1994
and 1995 five year CIP pages from the approved five year CIP's. Each of the fire station
activities are highlighted for your convenience.
MUNICIPAL CENTER SITE DEVELOPMENT
The Steering Committee for the Police Facility, Municipal Center remodelling and site
development continues to meet on a periodic basis and recently reviewed the final phases
for the Municipal Center site development. The committee has made every effort to
recognize direction by the City Council, the budget for site development and address how
the Municipal Center site development compares to ordinance requirements for other
private and public building expansions/development. Enclosed on pages (( through
is a copy of a memo that represents a series of meetings, indings and
re mmendations by the Steering Committee relative to site development.

SUBJECT: Fire Department 10 Year CIP
At the last regularly scheduled meeting of the Fire Department's Executive Board
we reviewed the past 5 years of our annual 5 year CIP projected need reports.
Based upon that information we have formulated the attached 10 year CIP.
While the Fire Department has assigned specific years of completion to some of
these items, we realize that upon occasion due to lack of City funds, some of the
projected target dates may not be met. Nevertheless, we wish to have the
following items kept in the following order as we have listed them in order of
priority based upon the department's needs:
1995 Station 1 remodeling is placed as our #1 priority due to firefighter
safety issues, as well as the building is now 30 years old and badly in
need of repairs.
Land banking for future training facility by taking advantage of
approximately 11 acres of property that has been acquired by the City
due to a current tax forfeiture program. This plan is contingent upon
the acreage being available. If the property located adjacent to the
Police Department shooting range is not available, then our second
choice of property would be the acreage located just west of the
City's Maintenance Facility (property currently owned by Blue
Cross/Blue Shield).
1996 Land bank for future fire station approximately 3 acres of property for
future fire station to be located on Wescott Road between Lexington
Avenue and Glacier Road.
Land bank for future fire station approximately 3 acres of property in
the area of Pilot Knob Road near Towerview Road.

DATE: June 29, 1995
TO: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Dale Nelson, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Fire Station 1 Remodeling
Since 1988, no major improvements have been made to any of the Eagan Fire
Department buildings. As you recall, approximately 12 months ago the Eagan Fire
Department requested $125,000 to begin the renovation process of Station 1 located
at 3940 Rahn Road.
Station 1 is now approximately 30 years old and is in need of some serious repairs as
well as bringing the building up to ADA and Minnesota State Handicap Facility
Standards. Also at this time we feel that the building is in need of exterior
improvements to aid in our building blending with the improvements that have already
been made with neighboring homes and apartment complexes. Other issues that are
driving this project are firefighter safety issues, work efficiency and energy
conservation.
The building committee has been planning this project for many months and
approximately 6 months ago decided to seek assistance from the architectural firm of
Arthur Dickey & Associates to assist us putting our plan in to a working plan. As the
committee progressed, we found that remodeling this building in phases would not be
practical and/or cost efficient as improving one area of the building seemed to overlap
in to the next both building and expense wise as the safety and building integrity were
addressed and needed repairs were discovered. For example: a deflection in the
existing roof.
As you recall, in our initial 5 year CIP we were seeking approximately $250,000 to
complete this project. Now, after compiling information for real 1995 construction
dollars, we have determined that the total cost of this project will be an approximate
$310,702, requiring an additional $185,702 to complete this project. It should be
noted that to date the Fire Department has saved the City approximately $13,000 by

thereby spending only $11 ,220 of the initial $125,000 to complete some bay area
work extending the wall behind one of the apparatus bays and some storage room.
Also firefighters donated their time by performing many hours of labor tasks.
I'm sure there will be questions from the City Council members as to some of the
remodeling projects. We will be happy to address those issues and answer those
questions at the July 11th workshop. We have taken the liberty of inviting our
architectural firm of Arthur Dickey & Associates to be present and also be able to
show some artist concepts of what the completed project should look like.

SUBJECT: Acquisition of Training Property
It has come to the Fire Department's attention that approximately 11 acres of property
located in the vicinity of the Police Department's shooting range has recently become
available to the City via tax forfeiture.
At the last regularly scheduled Fire Department Executive Board Meeting on June 20,
1995, the future of our training program was discussed and a focus was placed on
training property to allow us to continue to progress in the process of meeting NFPA
1500 training standards. By a unanimous Executive Board vote, it was decided to
have the department proceed to acquire the above property.
The Fire Department would appreciate the City expediting this process as we recently
lost the use of a small piece of property along Terminal Drive that Mr. Roger Olson
allowed us to use for purposes of training. The loss of this property has forced the
Fire Department to temporarily suspend some of our minimum required fire training for
1995. Your anticipated cooperation is most appreciated.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JULY 27, 1995
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CENTER SITE AND SIGNAGE REVIEW
During the design phase of the Police Department-Municipal Center Expansion, a
preliminary budget for site restoration and improvements and site signage was reviewed
by the City Council. The Council gave direction to develop a landscape plan consistent
with the budget allocation and to reconsider the site signage after plans were submitted
for the Central Area development to determine whether it would be appropriate to
integrate the sign designs for the two locations. In order to undertake some of the
landscaping prior to the buildings' grand opening this fall and to address site signage
issues to improve the accessibility of the facility when it opens, the Steering Committee
has developed landscaping and sign alternatives and has developed options to review
with the Council at Tuesday's work session.
Site Plan and Budget
The Council has previously awarded contracts for site improvements including grading,
streets and utilities and seed and sod restoration. The remaining budget for site
improvements is $115,000. Of that amount, the irrigation system, which is currently out
. for bid is estimated to cost $50,000 leaving a residual of $65,000 for site plantings.
By way of comparison, commercial projects in the City are required by Code to have
landscaping in an amount equal to three percent of building construction value excluding
land and site costs. Three percent of the building value at the municipal complex would
define a landscape plan in the amount of $248,000. Because the City will install plant
material using City crews and volunteers,that amount can be reduced by an implied labor
allowance for a total plant material value of$138,000. At$65,000, the site budget permits
installation of about half that amount.
Landscape plans depicting plantings at three percent of value and at $65,000 will be
distributed with additional information on Monday. The plans incorporate materials at
minimum sizes permitted by Code. Parks and Recreation staff will be available at
Tuesday's meeting to review the plans.
/ (
The reduced plan focuses plantings at the building entrances, on the sides of the
buildings adjacent to Pilot Knob and Wescott Roads and the internal street. The three
percent plan incorporates additional plantings in the internal portions of the site and in the
approach to Patrick Eagan Park. This plan can be used as a masterplan for future
plantings on the site as plant material or resources become available. It may be
appropriate to phase the remainder of the plantings over three to five years as the City
has approved for certain redevelopment projects.
Civic Arena Sidewalks
The site work contract was bid prior to the approval of the Civic Arena and as such made
allowance only for preparing a building pad for the potential facility. During the design of
the arena, a decision was made to postpone the installation of an elevator and to rely on
exterior sidewalks to provide ADA required access to the upper level of the facility. These
sidewalks would also serve to facilitate exiting from the building for event spectators.
Other than the stoops outside each door, neither the building nor the site work bids
included the sidewalks.
Staff has requested bids for the work from the existing site and arena contrators. Lund-
Martin, the arena contractor, has submitted the low bid in the form of a change order in
the amount of$34,028 for the grading, sidewalk, steps and handrails required. Based on
design estimates, this is an very favorable bid and probably would not be matched in the
future. The sidewalk improvements described are necessary to permit the arena to meet
Code, but cannot be absorbed by its budget. Building specific work was not within the
scope of the site contract which has been limited as outlined above. It will be necessary
to determine a means of funding these improvements in order to move forward with
completion of the arena facility.
Site Signage
With the Central Area moving through the approval process, it would also be helpful to
reach some conclusions on site signage. The site plan anticipates retaining the existing
monument sign just south of the Pilot Knob and Wescott intersection. This sign is brick
with an aluminum flashing cap and the City's name and logo in contrasting stamped
metal. The plan also calls for monument signs at the complex's two main entrances on
Pilot Knob and Wescott. These signs will need to be of approximately the same scale as
the existing site sign (6'x 13') to direct traffic into the site from two high speed collector
streets. Many business signs along county roads are this size or larger, but seem
appropriate because of the speed of the vehicles and the size of the property.
The Council may wish to determine at this time whether the site signage should echo the
Central Area signage. The Steering Committee feels the two sites are sufficiently distant
from one another that their signage would not conflict in any case. If the Council wishes
to move forward with site signage separate from the Central Area, several options are
available.
/■ ---
Staff has surveyed business identification signage in the area and has determined that
most corporate signs in the City are constructed of brick or stone with metal lettering or
of aluminum with cutout lettering. Pictures of examples of each will be available at
Tuesday's meeting. Costs of each type are comparable ranging between $6,000 and
$9,000 depending upon design and details. The site signage budget is $20,000 which
can accomodate either alternative and the directional signage outlined below. Some
costs could be defrayed by using excess brick from the Municipal Center expansion for
the base or the sign as appropriate. Schematics of each sign type are attached.
Each type has its benefits and drawbacks. Brick signs would be similar to the existing
site sign as well as the signage at the Maintenance Facility and materials are available.
We may also be able to contract the masonry work directly to reduce overhead costs.
Brick signs depend upon exterior lighting to be visible at night. This will be a challenge
given the boulevard area available for the signs.
Aluminum signs will introduce a different material although there are are both dark and
light aluminum finishes on the buildings already. Aluminum signs tend to be understated
and are unlikely to clash with other signage on the same site. Cut out lettering also lends
. itself better to internal lighting. Because of its fabrication, however, there is less
opportunity to provide labor directly by the City.
Essentially, the selection of a sign type is a matter of taste. Similar logos and lettering
can be achieved with either type. As a consequence the Council can select the
appropriate sign type as they see fit.
Directional Signage
The necessity for effective directional signage has become increasingly apparent during
our temporary office situation. Despite temporary directional and construction signage,
some customers are confused by the new layout. Directional signage is estimated to
cost between$500 and $1,000 depending upon size and whether the City wishes to have
ordinary street-type directional signs or something more customized. Staff would
appreciate direction by the Council to order and install these signs at the earliest possible
date to assist customers during construction and to get them used to the site for its
eventual completion.

Rock Bottom Restaurants
dba Old Chicago
Wadsworth Old Chicago, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rock Bottom Restaurants, Inc., has
applied for a Liquor License (on-sale restaurant)to be located at 1312 Town Centre Drive in
Eagan. Rock Bottom Restaurants, Inc. is a public corporation listed on the NASDAQ (BREW).
The only two persons who own more than 5%of the stock are Frank Day and Robert Greenlee.
Complete checks were run on the following corporate officers:
Thomas Arthur Moxcey 10/23/49
Gary Bret Foreman 2/4/55
Frank Bonar Day 8/4/32
Robert Dalton Greenlee 7/6/41
These included Colo. CCH's, D/L, Denver PD, Boulder PD, Kansas CCH,Nebr. CCH, Iowa
CCH, Georgia CCH, and Mpls. PD. All checks came back clear.
I contacted Lt Peter Palmer from Vice/Narcotics at Lakewood PD, Colo. In 1994, using their
Explorer Scouts, a compliance check was conducted and the Old Chicago Restaurant was cited
and fined for underage sales. There have been no other problems with the restaurant and the did
pass the most recent compliance check.
I also contacted Darlene Bator and she will fax me Mr Day's financial statement.
Based on the information that I have received, I find no reason to deny this application for a
liquor license. ;,--‘

Re: Mosquito Control
Date: July.27, 1995
Please accept this memo as my attempt to lobby for reducing the level of chemically
! I applied mosquito controls in our city. I have not contacted any of you on this subject due
to my belief that we should not be lobbying each other in private.
As you know, the park commission was split in their recommendation. Seven members
supported the recommendation we have before us and three(Lee Markel', George Kubik
and Stephen Thompson) supported an alternative recommendation that consisted of
i
eliminating'the larvea program, spraying for adult mosquitos on request only and
continuing tie education and disease programs. This is the position I support.
After reading the park commission minutes,I believe it is clear that there are a few points
which were not fully addressed at their meeting.
The first is simply the fact that only the MMCD attended the meeting. According to the
minutes,it Was asked if their was any data regarding increased mosquito populations in
• i the parks where spraying has been banned. The answer was "no". That was the correct
answer, but was misleading. The fact is that the cities who have banned the MMCD from
public lands.have found no noticeable difference in mosquito levels. That is attested to
in my letters'(which the park commission did not have).
Additionally,if the city council was to ban the district in Eagan,it would simply be a ban
on all city-owned land. Private citizens would still have the right to have their properties
treated. Thi4 removes the concerns of many citizens who welcome the MMCD on their
private wetlands. (Many I suspect who are "related" to the MMCD. This was their tactic
in other cities and the legislature. In fact, the MMCD had their employees calling
legislators and lobbying this issue during the session. The callers claimed they were
concerned citizens from their districts but in fact the new "Caller ID" system installed in
the Capitol showed the vast majority to be employees of the MMCD. Maybe this was
why they had no support In the legislature.)
The MMCD1 s claim to reduce mosquito populations is blatently misleading. It is
true(as their graph shows) that mosquito populations are reduced significantly
i immediately Ofter treatment,but they always rise up to the previous levels within a matter
of hours.
I i j
Over 95%of all mosquito larvea dies before it ever hatches on both treated and
i untreated lafds. This statistic is not in dispute, The mission of the mosquito control
i district is to reduce that last 5%-either as unhatched larvea or adult mosquitos. The
' problem is that mosquitos breed in millions of areas including pools of water,ponds,and
rivers. The MMCD only treats ponds,as they have been banned from the Mississippi
River Valley 4nd have no access to backyard pools,gutters etc. And they only treat a
small percentage of Eagans ponds and wetlands.

if at all.
There is virtually no threat from mosquito-borne diseases. And even this minimal
threat is admittedly not reduced by any actions of the MMCD. They spend around I%of
their budget on mosquito diseases and the Department of Health has jurisdiction over any
outbreak.
The treehole mosquito,which is the mosquito which carries LaCrosse Encephilitis,
breeds in trees. The MMCD does not treat trees. The number of cases in the past 15
years in the,twin cities metro area can be counted on two hands. And that number will
not change by removing the MMCD completely from the metro area. Extensive
testimony Was given on this at the legislature last session and the result was to cut
the MMCI)budget by 1/2. Not one legislator spoke in favor of the MMCD. If
anyone is concerned about their political hides,it is our Minnesota legislators.
But the final proof is in experience. Of the cities that have banned the MMCD from their
public lands,none have seen any increase in the level of mosquitos and none have had
any complaints. The letters I have attached reiterate this.
Finally, my,reasons for my recommendation are two-fold. The first is the possible
environmental harm that can come from treating our wetlands. There is evidence on both
sides that support both the position of no harm and the position of harm to humans. But
it is not disputed that the chemicals are harmful to fish, bugs and bees.
I believe Fagan has taken a strong environmental stand on protecting its trees and
wetlands. We are even considering banning phosphorus. A strong environmental stand
on this issue is much less controversial than that.
My second reason is purely financial. We all know how easy it is to begin a government
program and how difficult to end it. This is t exact case ere. I believe the legislature
has every intention of ultimately eliminating the MMCD but came to a compromise
phase-out solution by cutting it in half. With the support of environmentally friendly
cities like Eagan, the legislature will have the political clout to eliminate the funding in
full.
In summary;there is absolutely no reason to keep the program and many to eliminate it.
If private citizens want spraying, they can have it. If we find a noticeable difference in
our parks in two years, we can revisit the issue. But letters from 18 citizens in not an
I I outcry to keep any program,especially one that costs Eagan taxpayers over$100,000. 18
letters makes this issue one that is clearly not important to our citizens...and when an
+ I issue is not important,we shouldn't be in the business of advocating an$100,000
expenditure and keeping a 1950's giant alive.
