A.
INFORMATIVE
• State Human Services Department Nelahborhood Meeting - Sibley Memorial
Highway Grout) Home
Community Development Department staff attended a public meeting held on Tuesday
evening, November 21, by the State Human Services Department concerning the group
home proposed at 3034 Sibley Memorial Highway. KSTP Channel 5 was present at the
meeting and covered it for their evening news. Despite the fact that the City of Eagan
has no review or approval authority in this regard, apparently, Channel 5 indicated that
this facility had been approved by the City. As a consequence, the City has received a
number of telephone calls from concerned residents and the Council may receive calls
as well. As was indicated in one of the last Informative memos, the City does not have
authority to approve or deny group homes and any questions concerning the home should
be directed to Mike Fitzgerald of the Human Services Department at 296-6117.
Biackhawk Park & Ride
•The City has been informed by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority that there is some
user concern about criminal activity at the Park & Ride facility. Police Chief Geagan has
worked with MVTA Executive Director Beverly Miller to respond to these concerns and
to give the public accurate information concerning their concerns. A particular concern
has been raised with respect to the berming of the site which was requested by the City
at the time that the Park & Ride was installed. While no official request has been
received to date, the MVTA may ask the City to consider modifications of the berm to
improve visibility. A memo from the Chief of Police regarding this issue is enclosed on
pages 3e)through_a.
Dakota County HRA Update
Enclosed on pages 3.322, through ..ar is the most recent status report for assisted
housing and community developmentepared by the Dakota County HRA. If any
Councilmember has questions concerning the information contained in the report, staff
would be happy to pass that on to Mark Ulfers at the HRA.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1995 . . .
SUBJECT: 1996 GENERAL FUND/ENTERPRISE FUND AND FIVE YEAR CIP(1996-
2000) -
General Fund Operating Budget
At the October 24 work session a presentation was made and responses to questions
that were raised at the August 29 budget work session were reviewed in detail. Specific
direction was given on two budget adjustments: 1)the City Administrator was directed to
contact the Dakota County Economic Development Partnership and suggest an honorary
membership not to exceed $2,000. Attached on page t is a copy of a letter that was
sent to Scott Beckman, Executive Director for the partnership; 2) an allocation of$25,000
was appropriated to administration for a community wide survey and communications
consultant. The $25,000 was allocated from $6,000 as originally proposed, a $4,300
reduction in the Dakota County Economic Development Partnership membership and
$14,700 from contingency.
The modifications to the General Fund Operating Budget are summarized on page.
These modifications have been reviewed by the Director of Finance and City
Administrator and include the following:
1. Insurance adjustments to reflect premium renewal changes. The changes impact
nearly all departments and result in a net $5,000 increase to departments with a
corresponding $5,000 reduction in the contingency account
2. The communications consulting account Is increased by $19,000 to bring it to
$25,000 total. This also decreases the contingency account by $19,000.
3. The typewriter is removed from Administration and the contingency is increased by "
• $400. •
4. The Dakota County Economic Development Partnership membership is reduced by
$4,300 and the contingency is increased by $4,300.
5. The volunteer firefighter compensation is increased by$4,300 and the contingency
is decreased by $4,300.
•
C .
6. The 1996 revenue for the Clinton Cop Program is added to the revenue estimates
• - in the amount of$29,500. This increased revenue raises the contingency and the
total budget by that amount This revenue source was inadvertently overlooked
with the preliminary budget.
•
7. An additional allocation of $5,000 was made to the Police Department to reflect
higher than expected squad car costs. This amount was taken from the
contingency. ..
1
In summary,these changes increase the overall budget from$15,052,400 to$15,081,900
and Increase the contingency account from$198,200 to$199,100. Changes by operating
department are reflected on the summarized page previously referred to.
At the August 29 work session, there was discussion as to whether the appropriate
estimated tax capacity rate should be 22.234 as presented which is the actual payable
1995 rate or reduced to the projected 1995 payable rate of 22.150. This reduction could
be brought about by lowering the tax levy through lowering operating department budgets
or by lowering the contingency account. The other choice has been to continue to wait
- before making adjustments to gain the benefit of better numbers used for truth-in-taxation
notices.
The following table illustrates the information which was used for the preliminary budget
and now updated for the truth-in-taxation notices.

City Tax Capacity Rates • f 22234 • .22234 r .22079
• ;Tax Capacity Rate Increase(Decredtie) 1 __ • 0% (0.6%)
•
Since the gross tax capacity and corresponding net taxable valuation are higher than
projected,the truth-in-taxation tax capacity rate is 22.079 which is lower than either of the
previous choices. It should be noted that tax capacity will continue to change until tax
_. statements are actually run and the rate will therefore also continue to change. -
General Fund policy considerations include:
.f .
1. Are the proposed budget adjustments appropriate for presentation as a part of the
proposed budget at the truth-in-taxation hearing?
2. Are there to be any additional adjustments made to the estimated tax capacity rate
as currently calculated?
Public Enterprise Funds
The water, sanitary sewer and streetlighting public enterprise departments were all
reviewed and given general acceptance at the October 24 work session.
Enclosed on page ID is a copy of the revenue estimates for the Civic Arena Enterprise
Fund. Enclosed on pages 11 through 13 are the expenditure requests by line item
for 1996. This proposed budget was prepared with only one month's historical
information as a basis combined with some uncertainty about exactly how the facility will
function in the future. Projected revenues($293,200) exceed expenditure appropriations
($277,700)by$15,500 which will be allocated to contingency upon approval of the budget
by the City Council. The City Administrator will present the budget and provide additional
information at the meeting on Tuesday.
Enclosed on page 14 is a copy of the revenue estimates for the storm drainage/water
quality department budget. Enclosed on pages IS through ial are the expenditure
requests by line item for 1996. Staff has met and will be meeting again on Monday,
November 27, to further refine this budget and to prepare options for City Council
consideration. The revenues raised from service fees are expected to fund operations,
renewal and replacement of existing systems and part of the expansion and modification
to the system. Public policy issues regarding the use of service fees and departmental
operations will be presented to the City Council for consideration at the workshop.
Capital Improvements Program Budget (1996-20001
Part I
At the October 24 meeting,there was specific direction regarding the Part I budget that
included:
1) Any reference to capital improvements to Holz Farm would be removed until
the task force makes its final findings and with a clear direction that it was the
3 Council's vision that minor improvements would be necessary as opposed to
5
- v
-
. new buildings and major renovation. Attached on page b is a memo from
the City Administrator to the Director of Parks & Recreation following that work
session which has been shared by both City Councilm ember Wachter and the •
Director of Parks & Recreation at a Holz Farm task force committee meeting.
2) Direction was given to include land banking for Fire Station#6, and a future fire
station in the northwest portion of Eagan at approximates Lone Oak Road and
Pilot Knob Road. Attached on pages a1 through is a memo from the
City Administrator directing the Fire Department to perform strategic planning
during 1996 regarding their long-term building needs that would provide the
type of substance necessary for Council review of those capital needs. Also
_ enclosed on page aM is a revised Part 1 CIP.
Part 11
At the October 24 meeting, a fifteen year analysis of replacement and new capital needs
for all City departments was reviewed. This analysis took into consideration a recent
administrative vehicle policy that requires all motor vehicles to have 100,000 miles or ten
years as a basic criteria. Certain equipment, i.e. a fire pumper truck, may be evaluated
in hours and receive a special consideration. At the meeting, certain public policy
questions were raised regarding the annual allocation for Part II equipment along with
differences between replacement equipment and equipment which expands the pool.
Staff was directed to work up different options for City Council consideration. Since this
work has not been completed, it is the recommendation of the City Administrator that the
following budget allocation which has been in place since 1993 be given approval for
1996. Departments will continue to prioritize equipment replacement needs based on this
budgetary allocation.

The City Administrator and Department Heads will continue to work on the comprehensive •
plan and present that to the City Council at a later date. The 1996-2000 Part II CIP could
be given approval at that time.

The City Administrator and Department Heads will be available to provide additional

a_ Re: Membership/Dakota County Economic Development Partnership
1 Dear Scott:
A special thanks for the information you provided the City regarding the Economic Development
,
Partnership. The time you and Don Chapdelaine spent with our Director of Community
Development and myself was greatly appreciated. Attached is a copy of a memo I sent to the
City Council, in addition to the material you had given me, summarizing our meeting.
At the City Council's work session held on October 24, there was a request that I contact your
office and ask whether a type of honorary membership in the Dakota County Economic
Development Partnership would be a possibility.
The City Council, like other government agencies and the private sector,is weighing carefully
- all of its budgetary needs and would like to offer a financial participation not to exceed $2,000
for calendar year 1996. It is my understanding, having shared this information with you by
-. • telephone last week, you will present our request to the Membership Committee and the full •
Board during the next two months.
• Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
Sincerely, -
Thomas L. Hedges
City Administrator •

"" TO: DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION VRAA
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES •
DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 1995 -
SUBJECT: HOLZ FARM PARK/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The City Council, at its work session on October 24, removed all reference to capital _
building improvements to Holz Farm Park from the Five-Year Part I CIP. The City
Council takes great pride in its decision to preserve a small piece of Eagan history with
the acquisition of Holz Farm Park; however, they also expressed a concern that, had they
known there were numerous capital building needs in the hundreds of thousands of
dollars, the farm may not have been purchased.
It is important that the Holz Farm Task Force and/or the Advisory Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission prepare a strategic plan/program for Holz Farm Park with
respect to various improvements and funding scenarios.
There will be no allocation/appropriation for 1996; however, It is recommended that the
plan/program be presented in the next several months so the City Council can make its
review and consider future funding alternatives.

MEMO
_city of eagan
TO: FIRE CHIEF NELSON
• FROM: • CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: OCTOBER 31, 1995
SUBJECT: CAPITAL BUDGET/GENERAL GOVERNMENT FACILITIES -
A special thanks for your attendance and participation at the City Council workshop on
Tuesday, October 24.
• Regarding the capital budget items proposed for 1996, the City Council seemed to be in
general agreement with land banking for the training facility, Fire Station#6 and land for
the northwest quadrant. We also learned from the Director of Finance that the City has
received a title conveyance for the land adjacent to the shooting range and can now be •
used for public purpose. He did qualify public purpose as non-structure until either six
years has elapsed and the former owner cannot reclaim the property or the former owner
waives his right to the property or we go through some type of court action. The property
can be used for storage and training operations that do not require an actual structure.
It will be necessary to coordinate Public Works and Fire Department needs for this
property. It will also be necessary for Community Development and Public Works
Engineering to determine the best use of the property, any permitting requirements,
access, utilities, etc.
In terms of land banking for Fire Station #6 and an area in the northwest quadrant, I
would suggest that we work with Community Development to identify specific sites and
whether those sites have access to either city or county roads, research the cost for the
land, other pertinent information or eventually City Council approval. It would be helpful
if one person be designated to negotiate land prices, options and other issues relative to
land acquisition.
•
Regarding construction of the training facility and construction of the Fire Administration
building, the City Council is asking for additional information before these items will be
given further consideration in the Part I CIP.
•
Regarding the training facility, there is a definite need to develop a program addressing •
the following issues. Why the Fire Department is proposing a training facility? How are
those training needs being met at the present time without a facility? The needs require
quantification beyond a matter of convenience and frustration. What will be the
components of the training facility? Is it feasible for other communities to share in the
Pi
----------- -- -- - ------ - - -
L.
use of the training facility as a revenue producer? Could a training facility be built In
Eagan as a partnership with other communities similar to the police and shooting range
that was a joint cooperative partnership with Apple Valley or the fire training tower that
Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley jointly constructed in the City of Bumsville?
Regarding the operation of a training facility, will there be necessity for specialized
equipment and are there numbers associated with an operating budget?
Construction of the Fire Administration building was also discussed at the work session.
There is a question in the City Council's mind as to exactly what program needs the Fire
Department has for the Fire Administration building. City Councilmember Wachter has
asked for an analysis of the square footage for both the existing Fire Administration
property and 40 acre municipal campus to help the City Council determine how and what
public facilities might be expanded on those particular sites. That information has been
completed by Engineering and will be shared with the Fire Department and
= Councilmember Wachter. There was also a question at the work session as to how we
envision ambulance service in future years and whether that facility should be upgraded
as part of Fire Administration and, if so, who will pay for that capital construction?
•
I would suggest that a program be drafted for the Fire Administration building that
discusses reasons for expanding the present Fire Administration building and any
alternatives to constructing a new building. In other words,is the community room or new
City Council Chambers adequate for Monday evening and Tuesday morning training
needs? Could the community room space at the present Fire Administration building be
remodeled to accommodate an additional conference room and office space,etc.? Some
of these thoughts were examined at the time the City Council gave consideration to the
new Police facility project and Municipal Center remodeling. There were various
scenarios, including adding on to the south of the Police facility, using the lower level
space of the Municipal Center building as Fire Administrator offices, etc. I-am certain
some of the information exists and could be re-presented as a program for City Council
review.
i commend the Executive Committee for the work they have done to date on the long-
range planning for the Fire Department facility needs. On behalf of the City Council, t
would be happy to attend an Executive Committee meeting to discuss further with its
members the type of information and program needs the Council would like to further
£ analyze construction of a training facility and Fire Administration building as a part of our
capital improvement budget.
• Although the City Council did not specifically discuss construction of Station #6 and
quipment, I would suggest that a program also be developed for that capital request.
The project cost needs to be substantiated along with reasons for constructing Station#6.
Eventually, the same need for information will exist for Fire Station #3 expansion and
construction and equipment for the northwest station. Since those are future facilities
beyond the five year CIP, energy should be concentrated on the first five years.
Si.
I look forward to working with you and the Executive Committee to help prepare
. Information for a future City Council work session.

MEMO
city of eaganr .
DATE: November 21, 1995
TO: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Pat Geagan, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: BLACKHAWK PARK AND RIDE .
I have met with a representative from MVTA regarding the MVTA user's
concern about theft, vandalism and other crimes purportedly being
committed at the park and ride. MVTA, in conjunction with the Eagan
P.D., developed a handbill in response to one put out by riders of the
bus system. The riders' handbill contained misinformation and caused
a fair amount of concern. The MVTA handbill corrects the
misinformation and informs the bus users what we are doing to insure
their safety. .
MVTA would like to see the berm removed. That would help cut down
on the visual obstructions of the parking lot from both Blackhawk
Road and Cliff Road. I realize the City Council has debated this in the
past but under the circumstances they may want to revisit the issue if
the MVTA requests it.

." Blackhawk Park&Ride Patrons
On Wednesday, November 8, the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority met with
Eagan Police Chief Geagan and Crime Prevention Officer Dretzke.
The following items were discussed:
1. A computer search was done on any and all activities reported to or by the
Eagan police department at the Blackhawk Park & Ride. Only three crimes were
reported between August 1 and November 1, 1995.
2. It is very important that patrons call the Eagan police if they witness a
crime,are a victim of a crime, or see any suspicious activities or loitering. 911 may
be called directly from the pay phone at the lot.
B. Patrons need to discourage theft by keeping valuables out of sight Le.
packages, gym bags, phones,pagers, stereos, CD's, coins. Putting these items in the
trunk is the best "hiding" method. Not having these items in the car at all is best.
4. The Eagan police continue to patrol the lot daily. They will increase'the
frequency of trips through the lot. •
5. All MVTA drivers have been reminded to make a visual check of the lot
upon entering and exiting. Drivers are in the lot twice hourly throughout the day.
6. Road Supervisors, when in the area, will make a trip through the lot to
inspect it. -
•
7. Training for drivers regarding security issues will take place in the near
future. The Transit Police as well as the Eagan Police will be involved in this
training.
8. MVTA is investigating placing No soliciting, No Loitering, This Lot Is
Under Surveillance," signs at the entrance of the lot. .
9. MVTA is making a formal request to the city of Eagan to have the berms .
removed that surround, and effectively hide the lot.
Please call the MVTA offices at 882-7500 or the Eagan Police Department at 6814700
with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

- NOVEMBER, 1995 -- CABLE UPDATE -
Submitt d by Kik R ardon
�.. Cable Rate Adjustments -_-,-- r_._ ;__
r
Meredith has informed the Cable Commission that effective January
1, 1996 the rates for Basic, Preferred and equipment will be
adjusted. Attached is a copy of Meredith's announcement mailed to
Burnsville/Eagan subscribers on November 17.
• Originally, Meredith indicated that the Basic rate would be
increased from $7.77 to $10.42, while the Preferred tier would be
decreased from $14.00 to $12.68. This did not factor in the $.87
PEG Fee which is now the only increase reflected in the Basic rate.
- Meredith stated the original rate adjustments were affected by th
August 1 channel realignment with eight Preferred tier channels
migrating to the Basic tier, and the federally allowed adjustment
•
factors of inflation and increases in "external" costs.
The Commission strongly indicated to Meredith that the approximate
1,000 Burnsville/Eagan Basic only subscribers should not be
penalized as a result of the channel realignment, and that as 1 ng
as there is not a net difference in the total bill for Basic and
Preferred service, then all the increase should be reflected in the
Pr ferred tier instead. Meredith has agreed to this, and barring
a reversal by the FCC, the rates will be reviewed as now present d.
Thus, the Cable Commission has initiated the rate review process
for both the Basic and equipment rates, which are under th it
purview.
Cable Surveys
Decision Resources has been retained by the Commission to conduct
both a random phone survey of 400 BurnBville/Eagan cable
subscribers, and a mail-out survey to the public access volunteers.
The subscriber survey, which is currently being conducted, will
assess subscriber satisfaction with Meredith Cable, as well as •
viewer preference for local programming. The public access us r
survey, to be mailed on November 27, will assess the actual users's
opinions of Meredith's public access services. The results of the
surveys will be presented to the Commission at their January
meeting, and will assist the Commission as they prepare f r
franchise renewal.
Commission Conducts 1996 Goal Betting Works•ssion
On November 14, the Commission and staff conducted its annual goal
setting worksession. The worksession was very successful in
establishing the Commission's goals for 1996, as well as allowing
th Commission the opportunity to prepare for some of :the
anticipated major activiti s. A r port will-be availabl following
• the Commission's December 14 a sting.

Dear Meredith Cable Customer, - -- ---
An important part of our commitment to our customers is keeping you informed of changes that will
affect your cable service and rates. Contained in this letter is information on some changes that will
occur to your cable service in December and January. -, -
Prime Sports-Upper Midwest has notified us that they will cease operations at the end of the year.
As a result,we will no longer carry Prime Sports beginning December 29, 1995. Prime will be
replaced by Encore Plus,a commercial-free movie service featuring hit movies of the'60s,70s,and
_ '80s,themed by day. In many cable systems,Encore Plus is offered as a premium service. However,
= Meredith Cable will offer Encore Plus as part of the Preferred level of service.
Effective with your January 1996 billing statement,the rates for Basic cable service,Preferred cable
- service,remote control rental,converter rental,and Cable Care will be adjusted in accordance with
the guidelines provided by the Federal Communications Commission. The adjustments we are
permitted to make are a result of inflation between July 1,1994 and June 30, 1995,and changes in our
programming expenses. Rates for Home Box Office will go up by$1.00 when taken on an a la carte
basis. The Showtime/Movie Channel two-pay package will be reduced by$2 to$11.90 and the
• Showtime/Movie Channel/HBO three-pay package will be reduced by$3 to$16.85. All other a la
carte and package rates for premium channels will remain the same.
Over the past few years Meredith Cable,as well as other cable operators,has been put in the position
of adjusting our rates more often than we would under normal circumstances. Beginning with the
- coming adjustment in January 1996,it is our plan to limit rate changes on regulated services to once
per year.
Specific rate adjustments for January,as well as a listing of all rates in your community are detailed
_ on the back side of this letter. The chart also lists the name and address of your local franchise
authority who regulates basic cable and equipment rates. The FCC Cable Service Bureau's phone
y. number and address are listed as they regulate the Preferred service level. You have a right to file a
- complaint with the FCC within 45 days of the Preferred service increase first being reflected on your
monthly billing statement.
We would like to thank you for being a Meredith Cable customer and for spending your
▪ entertainment dollars with us. We appreciate your business and remain committed to
providing you with the best customer service we can. Our customer service representatives are
available to respond to your questions 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and can be reached by
calling 483-9999. .
