MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: SEPTEMBER 25, 1980
SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION
After approval of the September 10 Joint Advisory Planning Commis-
sion/City Council meeting minutes, the September 16 regular City
Council minutes, the September 24 special City Council minutes
and the October 7, 1980 City Council agenda, the following. items
are in order for consideration:
! # t,
At the request of the City Council, plans are being made to recog-
nize Local Government Day on Tuesday, October 21, 1980. A ceremony
is in the planning stages for the dedication of the Rahn Thomas
Trail The place for the ceremony will be Thomas Lake Elementary
School by the trail as it intersects Thomas Lake Road and the time
of the ceremony; is 6:00 p.m. The Advisory Park Committee has been ;
notified and is expected to be present. As a result of the City
wide newsletter,. the City Administrator has received a call from
a Mrs. Larson, who resides in Evergreen Park Addition, who is also.
the Girl Scout Troop Leader for Troop 804. There are twelve (12)
girls in that troop, most of whom live in the Evergreen Park
Addition. Mrs. Larson was asking if her Girl Scouts can participate
in some way or another with the official ceremony. The girls could
do one of two things, or both, and that is a special flag ceremony
at, the site and/or hand out flyers that the City Administrator
will prepare regarding cost, length of the trail and additional
information pertaining to the ceremony.' Mrs. Larson is planning
to be present at theCouncil meeting to offer her scout troop. par-
ticipation in the ceremony. Whether the City Council wishes to
involve any other community groups or limit the involvement to
possibly that troop and the Advisory Park Committee and City Council
should be decided.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department Item #1: A petition was considered
at. the September 16, 1980, City-Mo-uncil meeting that requests the
installation of a stop sign on Carnelian at the intersection with
Pumice Lane. The Director of Public Works has prepared a map
showing the existing stop signs and speed limit signs along
Carnelian Lane. A copy of this map is enclosed on page for
your reference. The amount of cross traffic that occurs on pumice
Lane does not warrant the stopping of the traffic on-Carnelian
Lane which is designated as a residential collector street in Cedar
Grove Seventh Addition. In addition to the Director of Public
Works' analysis,' there presently exist adequate speed limit signs ,
informing motorists of the speed limit along Carnelian Lane. There-
fore,' the staff cannot recommend the installation of stop signs
on Carnelian at Pumice Lane. If additional signs are required
due to hearing impaired children in the vicinity, the maintenance
department will install those .signs in the area so designated in
writing by the parents of, the hearing impaired child. The stop
sign that is referred to in the petition on Flint Lane and Carnelian
Lane was previously installed to control traffic on Flint Lane.
After several objections from the neighborhood, the City Council
directed the staff to relocate the signs from Flint Lane onto
Carnelian Lane. A letter was also addressed to the staff's
attention in May of 1980 requesting similar consideration for the
installation of stop signs on Carnelian at Amethyst Lane. This
is presently a " T " intersection with the through traffic receiving
the right-of-way on Carnelian Lane. As such, a three way stop
sign at this intersection is not warranted according to the Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Subsequently, the Engineering
Department cannot recommend the installation of a stop sign at
this vicinity. A.copy of the petition that was sent to the City
Council prior to the last meeting is included on pages - through
:7 The per.son submitting the petition was contacte and asked
to pear at the meeting on Tuesday.
ACTION TO BE'CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To either approve or deny
the two (2) stop sign requests.

I':e the -,-:der `-r.od 1 e ues. that action be taken to change the traffic flow pattern
on Carnelian Lane between Rahn Rd. mini 3lackhawk Rd.
e
The volume of traffic, speed of vehicles rind the nu:uber of smfLll children, espy cialty
in the area of Carnelian Lane L. Lmethyst, have created a situation that we feel is
going to result in injury or death to a child. Possibly, the placing of a stop sign
at the above location would shift traffic, other than local, to Hi -hway #13 or
Co. Rd. #'30.
It is interesting to note that during the past year a stop sign was placed on
Carnelian Lane at Flint. ;e are sure this led to a traffid flow change and a
reduction of fear for the residents of that area.
Thank you for your cooperation
in this matter.

Agenda Information Memo
September 25, 1980

Item #2: One May 20, the Council received bids for a budgeted
one-ton park maintenance vehicle. Because the bids received
exceeded the budgeted amount, the Council authorized revising the
specifications to advertise for a cab and chassis truck only with
the understanding that subsequent bids would then be issued for
the dump box and snowplow. Subsequently, we solicited several
quotations from manufacturers and suppliers for the dump box and
snowplow. It is the recommendation of the Director of Public Works
to award the purchase of the dump box to Midland Equipment Company
in the amount of $3,168. In addition, it is recommended-that the
plow be purchased from L-Z Company, Inc., in the amount of $1,289.
The quotation received for the plow was $12 over the lowest quote,
but is more compatible to the cab and chassis truck which was pur-
chased in August. The staff feels that these quotes are in line.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To set quotations and
authorize the purchase of a one-ton dump box_from Midland Equipment
Company in the amount of $3,168 and the purchase of the snowplow
from L-Z Company, Inc., in the amount of $1,289.
Item #3: As a part of staff's continuing effort to consolidate,
coordinate, review and establish standard annual fee schedules
in a timely manner, it is requested. that the Council authorize
the preparation of the 1981 Fee. Schedule. This will establish
fees and rates to become effective.on January 1, 1981. These fees
will 'cover such items as sewer and water billing, lateral benefits
from trunk utility installations, residential street construction
equivalents, road unit connection charges, area storm sewer trunk
assessment rates, street light energizing rates, etc. Staff would
like to prepare this report during October and November to be pre-
sented to the Council at the first meeting in December with the
intention of having all rates reviewed, revised, if necessary,
and approved for implementation on January 1, 1981. It is hoped
that this consolidation of review and adjustment will eliminate
confusion from the general public and will also help staff to know
what rates are in effect at any particular time.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To authorize staff to pre-
pare the 1981 Comprehensive Fee Schedule.

Item #4: We have received correspondence from the Metropolitan
ransit Commission (MTC) indicating they will be installing
passenger waiting „shelters at the northeast intersection of County
Road 30 and Rahn Road and also at Silver Bell Road and the Easy
Street Apartments. Both these locations conform with previous
staff and City Council requests.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve the installation
of. MTC passenger waiting shelters at the intersection of County
Road 30 and Rahn Road and on Silver Bell Road at the Easy Street
Apartments.
Item #5: The City has received a request from Mr. Eugene Haeg
for compensation for the loss of a large crab-apple tree during
the Dodd Road street improvement project. In a pre-construction
agreement with Mr. Haeg, the City Attorney's office, after consul-
tation with the City Engineer, stated that this particular tree'
would not have to be taken. Subsequently, it was jointly recognized
by the landowner and the engineering staff that the tree should
be removed for proper construction and sloping. A request for
$250 compensation for the loss of.the tree has been made. Enclosed
with the Administrative Packet on Monday will be a letter from
the City Attorney's office further explaining the situation.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve the payment
to Mr. Eugene Haeg of $250 for the loss of the° large crab apple
tree during street construction.

There are sixteen (16) items on the agenda referred to as Consent
Items requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If there is
any item which the City Council would like to discuss in further
detail, that item should be removed from the Consent Agenda and
placed under Other Business unless the discussion required is brief,.

LOGIS
A. LOGIS - Resolution to Approve Security Agreement The.Local
Government Information Systems Association referred to as LOGIS

a security agreement with Optimum Systems, Inc. The LOGIS contract
with Optimum Systems, Inc., or OSI, for the implementation of a
three thousand version of GEMUNIS requires that all members using
the system execute a security agreement with OSI assuring them-
that the proprietary nature of the product will be protected by
the users. A standard agreement was prepared and all cities that
have been member users of LOGIS have executed" these agreements
with that organization. The Director of Finance, City Administrator
and City Attorney have reviewed the agreement and find it to be
acceptable.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute the Security Agreement with OSI.

.AMBULANCE CONTRACT
B. Ambulance Contract - Divine Redeemer Memorial Hospital A
new agreement has been worked out between the Cities of Eagan,
Inver Grove Heights, Lillydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, Rosemount,
South St. Paul, Sunfish Lake and West St. Paul with Divine Redeemer
Memorial Hospital in that the hospital will provide paramedic
ambulance service to all nine (9) cities. The first agreement
was drafted in 1976 between the nine cities and Divine Redeemer
Memorial Hospital to provide the ambulance service at a..fixed per
capita cost. This per capita cost was approximately 65¢. Because
of inflation and increasing expenses for the hospital, the per
capita cost for ambulance services in 1981 will be approximately
99.9¢. The new agreement guarantees all nine cities ambulance
service for four (4) additional years at a fixed per capita rate
that would increase along with the consumer price index. There
is a lid on a consumer price index which is 9.5%. The per capita
increase cannot exceed 9.5% per year assuming inflation is equal
or higher. Therefore, the per capita rate in 1981 will be 99.90,
and assuming the worst, $1.09 in 1982, $1.20 in 1983, and $1.31
in 1984. The cities have been-negotiating this contract with Divine
Redeemer Hospital for several weeks. Divine Redeemer Memorial
Hospital also has a contract with the Cities of Burnsville, Apple
Valley, Lakeville and Farmington, and their per capita rate for
1981 is $1.63. Because of the location, geographic consideration
and population along with the years of experience, the nine cities
that Eagan is a member with respect a better per capita rate
The other four (4) cities have recently terminated their contract
with Smith-Ambulance, and because of start up costs and lack of
experience, $1.63 per capita was the best rate Divine Redeemer
Memorial Hospital could provide those cities. For your information,
the nine (9) cities have two fully equipped paramedic ambulances
and maintain a staff for each ambulance on a twenty-four hour basis
seven days a week. Each ambulance is staffed with two paramedics`
with national certification. One ambulance is housed in Fire
Station #2 in Eagan and the other ambulance is located at Divine
Redeemer Memorial Hospital in South St. Paul. The City of Eagan,
though its per capita rate is the same as the other eight cities
in the contract, also has the benefit of sharing one of the two
ambulances stationed in the Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington
area. Divine. Redeemer Memorial Hospital uses a floating system
where its ambulances will move to different locations once any
ambulance goes into use to. provide maximum response capability
within its service area. In other words, if the Eagan ambulance
is needed in West St. Paul because the ambulance in South St. Paul
is in use, an ambulance housed in Burnsville may move to a parking
lot close to the Eagan border to provide response time in our City.
It is recommended that the contract be executed.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER; To approve the ambulance
contract as offered by Divine Redeemer Memorial Hospital

PROCLAMATION - NATIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN'S WEEK
C. Proclamation for National` Business Women's Week A letter
was received from Mrs. Judy Bahnsen, who resides in South St. Paul,
asking that Mayor Blomquist proclaim the week of October 19 through

REPLAT OF ERICKSON'S COTTONWOOD ADDITION
D. Extension of Time for Replat of Erickson's Cottonwood Addition
A letter was received from Mr. Ken Erickson, representing Erick-
son's Cottonwood Addition, asking for an extension of time to
consider the final plat for the replat of Erickson's Cottonwood
Addition. Mr. Erickson is requesting as extension due to current
economic conditions and financial hardship to proceed with the
final platting at this time. A-six month extension is requested.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To grant an extension of
time of six months to consider the final plat for Erickson's Cotton-
wood Addition.
TRANSFER TO PARK SITE ACQUISITION & DEVELOPMENT'FUND
E. Transfer of $75,000 Fund to Park Site Acquisition and Develop-
ment Fund As a result of several budget sessions held this fall,
it is the intention of the City Council to transfer$75,000 from
the General Fund to the Park Site Acquisition and Development Fund
to cover the City's matching share for grants on the Rahn Thomas
Trail Phase II, Park Land Section 9 acquisition and the Rahn Tennis
Courts. The original transfer request was for $86,500; however,
due to lower bids on the various projects, the amount of money
required for transfer is less than originally anticipated. For
future auditing purposes, it is appropriate to have authorization
recorded in City Council proceedings
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve a transfer of
$75,000. from the General Fund to the Park Site Acquisition- and
Development Fund.
EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATES
F. Authorization to Proceed with the Negotiation of Two (2) Equip-
ment Certificates Per previous authorization of the City Council,

In addition to these items, it appears the cost in excess of the
bonded amount on the construction of the Fire Station constuction,
improvements and related equipment can be recovered through issuing
an equipment certificate to cover the cost of the pumper-($92,151).
Adding all these numbers together produces current expenditures
of $155,102 and additional estimates of $150,650 for a grand total
of $305,752. The first equipment certificate will be sold for
$155,102 at this time and the second in approximately two (2) months
to cover the balance. Hopefully, the firm contract amounts for
the balance of the equipment will be received by the City by that
time. The first equipment certificate, the one for consideration
at this time, will cover the street sweeper and related equipment
($49,398), tailgate sander ($1,732), pumper ($92,151), miscellaneous
Police Department equipment ($11,821) for a total of $155,102.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To authorize the City
Administrator and Director of Finance to negotiate the sale of
equipment certificate in the amount of $155,102, plus rates of issu-
ance.
EN.UM The actual bids for the sale of an equipment certi-
ficate would be placed on the City Council agenda for consideration
at a .later meetingonce the negotiations are completed.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYROLL ACCOUNT
G. Resolution authorizing City of Eagan Payroll Account at Mid
America National Bank of Eagan - A resolution authorizing an
account at the Mid America National Bank of Eagan for the City

accounting system and LOGIS.

authorizing the payroll account with Mid America National Bank
of Eagan.

IMP. 80-30
J. Award Bid and Contract for Imp. 80-30 (Highview Avenue Street)
The bids for Imp. 80-30, Highview Avenue street, were received
on Thursday, October 2, 1980, at 3:00 p.m. The Director of Public
Works and Consulting Engineer have reviewed the bids. The low
bid submitted has been broken down into three parts for comparison
to the feasibility report costs as follows:
ITEM REPORT BID DIFFERENCE
Streets $18,220 $24,000 +32.0 %
Services 508 1,300 +156.0 %
Drainage 165100 17.670 +9.8 %
TOTAL $34,828 $43,000 +23.5 %
We feel these high bids might be a result of late fail construction
combined with the short completion schedule required. to get the
streets installed by freeze-up. The Director of Public Works sug-
gests that the project be delayed 'until Spring of 1981 unless all
residents acknowledge and accept the overruns. To have another
hearing at this late date will `delay the project until spring of
1981 in any event. A delay will allow a direct connection of the
storm sewer into the proposed Pilot Knob Road Improvement which
will be under contract at that time. -
Enclosed on page IS is a copy of the bid tabulation sheet and
engineer's estimate. -
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To delay this project until
spring of 1981 or to award the bid.

Run Road) The assessment hearing held on Wednesday, September
24, 1980, for Project #241 was continued until the October 7, 1980
City Council meeting. The meeting was continued to allow for a
Special Assessment Committee' meeting at which.. time the City staff
can give more detailed information to the residents of Lakeside
Estates, Saddlehorn Addition and Dodd Road regarding cost overruns,
method of assessment and other related concerns the peo le expressed
at the original hearing. Enclosed on pages 2. through
'33 is a copy of a report from the Director o Public Works as
to what occurred at the Special Assessment Committee meeting held
on Wednesday, October 1, 1980.
For your information, the assessments on each of the projects,
starting with Lakeside Estates, are broken down as follows: Street
Improvements, $3,078.18 per lot; Restored Road, $1,310.83 per lot;
Utilities, $4,691.94 per lot; Water Area, $280 per lot; Sanitary
Sewer, $280 per lot; Total Assessment, $9,640.95. Saddlehorn

• t There is no average assessment for Dodd Road; the
rate for the street and utilities., as well as the area charges,
pertains to how much footage or acreage, respectively, a property
owner has as to how the assessment was determined. In some cases,
residents on Dodd Road were assessed a partial front foot and a
partial lot equivalent, depending upon which assessment district
a -portion of their property abutted for project purposes as well
as .'assessment determination. This also pertains to Wilderness
Run Road improvements 'which were assessed at a rate of $6.32 a
front foot for grading and $19.75 a front foot for sewer and water
for the trunk area assessment` of $590 for water and $590 per acre
for sanitary sewer.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve or deny the
recommendation of the Special Assessment. Committee.

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR 60LBERT
DATE: OCTOBER 2, 1980
SUBJECT: PROJECT ##241
On Wednesday, October 1, a special informational meeting was held at City Hall
before the Special Assessment Commmittee to review the assessments associated
with the installation of streets and utilities for Lakeside Estates, Saddlehorn
Addition and Dodd Road. Attached to this memorandum are various information
sheets showing the breakdown of costs associated with these improvements. This
information was distributed to all affected citizens at the meeting on October
1. After much discussion regarding their concern for the increase in the
per lot assessment costs relating to the feasibility report estimates, the
Special Assessment Committee proposed the following alternatives to be considered
by the City Council:
1. Increase all street assessments from the proposed ten years to twenty years.
2. Increase all utility assessments from the proposed fifteen years to twenty
years.
3. Allow only those per lot increases relating to design standards and a
maximum 20% inflation figure.
Those items that are allowed and disallowed are noted as follows per subdivision:
LAKESIDE ESTATES (See Page 3 of this Memo)
ALLOWED: 1.b. (20%); 2.a.; 2.b.; 3. (20%); 4.d. (20%); 5.a.; 5.b.
DISALLOWED: l.a.; 4.a.; 4.b.; 4.c.
SADDLEHORN ADDITION (See Page 4 of this Memo)
ALLOWED: l.b. (20%); 2.; 3. (20%); 4.d. (20%); 5.a.; 5.b.; 5.c. (20%)
DISALLOWED: l.a.; 4.a.; 4.b.; 4.c.
Similar research and review will have to be performed for the construction items
on Dodd Road to determine what inflation and/or design cost factors were included
in the determination of the residential equivalent rate ($21.50 per front foot).
Dodd Road assessments were levied on the basis of residential equivalence for
streets and lateral benefit from trunk utilities for sewer and water. These
rates are normally established irregardless of the cost of the project. There-
fore, it is not anticipated that major adjustments to the assessment rates can
be obtained. However, if additional consideration wanted' to be given for the
street assessment ($21.50 per front foot), this assessment is based on the full
Project #241 Memo
October 2, 1980
Page Two
residential equivalent even though the installation of curb and gutter did not
occur. Consideration could be given to assessing a partial residential
equivalent with the understanding that a second assessment would occur in the
future when curb and gutter is installed. Dodd Road is a municipal state aid
street with all funding being provided through our MSAS account. This allows
greater flexibility in adjusting the assessment figure for a residential
equivalent.
As a part of the recommendation of the Special Assessment Committee, they
requested staff to research alternative methods of financing the excessive costs
that will not be assessed. Staff will present whatever findings and recommenda-
tions they have at the meeting on October 7.

Mr. Thomas Hedges, City Administrator

Dear Mr. Hedges,
In response to your request for Federal Land Company to supply you
with the reason or reasons for the increases in the requested
Bond Issue for Yankee Square Office II and Yankee Square Office III,
I submit to you the following.
With regards to Yankee Square Office II, the increase is due to the
difference being set aside as a Bond Reserve. This reserve is an
optional feature and may or may not be utilized. Mr. Michael Jeronimus,
the Independent Bond Counsel, is aware of all proceedings concerning
this reserve.
With regards to Yankee Square Office III, the increase is due to the.
Bond Reserve being set up as in Yankee Square Office II along with
an anticipated 10% increase in construction costs as the beginning
construction is scheduled in the fall of 1981.
I trust this response is adequate for your needs, however, if any
additiona-1 information is necessary, feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Martin F. Colon

SPANGLER'S ADDITION
A. Orpha L. Spangler for Preliminary Plat Approval of Spangler's
Addition At the last regular meeting of the City Council, the
recommendation of the Advisory Planning Commission to approve the
preliminary plat of Spangler's Addition was on the agenda for
consideration. The applicant was not present and, therefore, this
item was continued until from the September 16, 1980, City Council
meeting to the.October 7, 1980 meeting. Since the last meeting,
the City received a letter on September 19, 1980, from Orpha
Spangler requesting that the City cancel the process of subdivision
on her lot
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: Procedurally, in order
to simply acknowlege withdrawal of the application for preliminary
plat, no action to approve is necessary.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN
B. Comprehensive Guide Plan - At the August 19, 1980 City Council
meeting, the City Administator was directed to submit a letter
to the Metropolitan Council, requesting an extension for the filing
of the Comprehensive Guide Plan until December 1980. The reason
for the extension; was an opportunity for the City to review the
amendment guidelines once they are adopted by the Metropolitan
Council and authorize any changes to the plan as the City Council
may see fit pending the outcome of the amendment guideline
procedures. A letter was sent to the City by Charles Weaver, Chair-
man of the Metropolitan Council, dated September 18, 1980, which
essentially denies the request for extension and which sets the
new submittal deadline as September 30, 1980. Since the last City
Council meeting was September 16, 1980, there, has been no oppor-
tunity for the City Administrator to discuss this matter in detail
with the City Council at a regular '.meeting,. and therefore, the
matter is placed on the agenda for additional consideration. The,
City Planner and Consulting Planner will attend a meeting at the
Metropolitan Council on Tuesday, October 7,.in_regards to the amend-
ment guidelines process. The City Planner will be present at the
City Council meeting to report on that meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED. ON THE MATTER: To either direct the City
Administrator to submit the Comprehensive Guide Plan to the Metro-
politan Council under protest, arguing that the City is not know-
ledgeable as to what the amendment process will be for review of
the Comprehensive Guide Plan or to take no action, meaning that
the Comprehensive Guide Plan would not be filed at this time.

The mill rates are based on an estimated assessed valuation of $122,102,592
and are subject to change due to final adjustments as well as to fiscal dispari-
ties calculations. The estimated fiscal disparities distribution of $40,000
would reduce the mill rate by .328 to 17.317.
There is some flexibility between the use of special levies and the general
levy subject to the limitation. The mix shown appears to the most advantageous
at this time. The total certification of $2,154,495 is what needs to be set
at this time.

IMP. 80-31
B. Imp. 80-31, Approve Plans & Specifications/Order Advertisement
for Bids (Univac Reservoir Repainting) During the spring of
1980, the Public' Works Department drained the half million gallon
elevated water tank located on the north Univac property for
inspection purposes. This tank had not been inspected for thirteen
plus years The results of this inspection indicated that 90%
of the interior tank protective paint coating has been dissolved
and disintegrated and no longer offers a protective barrier between
the metal and the stored water. These plans and specifications
provide for completely recoating the interior portion of the water
tank along with repainting the outside as a part of the ongoing
water reservoir maintenance program. The estimated cost of this
improvement is $35,000 which would be funded out of the utility
fund as a part of scheduled maintenance.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve plans and speci---
fications`for Imp. 80-31 for the repainting of the half million
gallon elevated water tank and authorize the advertisement for
bids with the bid opening to be held on Thursday, October 30, at
3:00 p.m.
IMP. 80-20
C. Imp. 80-20, Execute NSP Joint Consent Agreement (Schmidt
Addition Utilities) - Part of the condition of designating
Lexington Avenue as County right-of-way required that the entire
right-of-way be graded to approved plan and profile as defined
by the County. Because Lexington Avenue crosses the 200 foot wide
NSP highline easement, a certain elevation differential must be
maintained for safety purposes. In evaluating the costs of per-
forming the additional grading versus adjusting the power lines,
it was determined to be more financially economical to adjust the
power lines. Subsequently, NSP requires the execution of an agree-
ment authorizing them to perform this adjustment. The estimated
cost is $9,700. These power lines must be adjusted to allow our
contractor to complete the installation of utilities for Imp. 80-
20, for the Schmidt Addition and Northview School. Because this
cost savings relates to the grading requirement of Dunn & Curry
Real Estate Management, 'Inc. , it is suggested that this cost be
charged to Imp. 80-20 with the understanding that it be assessed'
against the adjacent properties of Lexington Avenue only.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To authorize Mayor and
City Clerk to execute joint agreement with NSP and assess related
costs to adjacent properties on Lexington Avenue under Imp'. 80--

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 23, 1980
DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 18, 1980
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNEP
APPLICATION SUBMITTED
An application has been submitted for a preliminary plat, Eagandale Center lst
Addition which would consist of approximately 7.7 acres and contain two indus-
trial lots.
COT,ga,Tr ,ITS
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company owns approximately 7.7 acres which
has approximately 326 feet of frontage on L<:rington Avenue. The applicant is
proposing to subdivide the land into two lots. Lot 1, the most westerly lot -
would be sold to Coca-Cola for expansion. Presently, Coca-Cola owns Lots 7-13,
Block 7, Eagandale Center Industrial Park which would completely abut the we-ern
property line of Lot There is also an ingress and egress easement on the north
30 feet of Lot 2, so if Coca-Cola would ever sell the property, the parcel would
have access through this easement. Subdividing the property into the two lots
provides for better land use in this area. Lot 2 would contain approximately 4
acres and would have 326 feet of frontage on Lexington Avenue, which would be a
fairly good industrial lot. Lot 1 would then be purchased by Coca-Cola far Coca-
Cola's future expansion. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to
the following conditions:
1. All easements shall be dedicated as requested by the. Eagan City staff.
2. The plat should be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's comments
because the proposed plat abuts Lexington Avenue.

PETITION FOR LEXINGTON AVENUE EXTENSION
A. Petition for Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) Extension The City has received a letter from Dunn & Curry Real Estate Manage
.merit, Inc., requesting that the City proceed with the final curb
and gutter and paving of Lexington Avenue from County Road 32
through the intersection with Wilderness Run Road.
During May of 1979, the County Board passed a motion accepting
the dedicated right-of-way of Lexington Avenue from County Road
32 to one-quarter mile 'north of County Road 30 with the condition
that the appropriate agreement _between the City and the County
be executed. Our City Attorney can address the status of this
agreement. Recent discussions with the Dakota County Highway
Engineer indicate that, for budget purposes, he has included the
improvement of Lexington Avenue in the 1981 Budget for Dakota
County road improvements. The status of this budget request will
hopefully be available at the meeting on Tuesday for Council infor-
mation.
Enclosed is a copy of the letter from Dunn & Curry Real Estate
Management, Inc. found on pages St through SS' which acknow-
ledges the official petition.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To accept the petition
for the extension-of Lexington Avenue as presented, and if accepted,
authorize staff to prepare a feasibility report for a public-hearing
and a resolution to Dakota County requesting improvement.

built by the county, we feel it important that we go on record
54
as to our need for the road. We are prepared to be assessed
for that portion of costs for county/city built roads that are
borne by abutting land owners.
We believe the present status of the grade of Lexington Avenue
as it is under the N.S.P. high line is consistent with instructions
and plans prepared and issued by your consulting engineer. It
has recently been broughtto our attention that this grade will
have to be lowered or the N.S.P. polies raised to provide ade-
quate clearance. Whichever the solution, the cost is in addition
to the rough grading costs we had agreed to.
In order to complete this revised rough grading work as well as
the portion north of County Road 30, we hereby request tho city
undertake this work and assess our property for the cost.
As the work would be entirely on our property, we are also anxious
to have Lexington Avenue completed by the county at the earliest
possible date. This would help in the orderly development of
that area of Eagan with Pilot Knob Road due for substantial work
in the next few years. Lexington Avenue offers the best alterna-
tive North-South road in the city. It really should be completed
through our area and upgraded to Yankee Doodle Road.
May I suggest that this entire Lexington Avenue situation be re-
viewed with us and members of your staff and consulting engineers.

PETITION FOR COMPLETION OF WILDERNESS RUN ROAD
B. Petition for Completion of Wilderness Run Road from Lexington
Avenue to Dodd Road A letter was received from Dunn & Curry
Real Estate Management, Inc., asking that the City of Eagan proceed
with the paving and curbing of Wilderness Run Road from its present
point of completion through the intersection of Lexington to its
terminus at Dodd Road.
The status of the completion of Wilderness Run Road from Wilderness
Park- Third Addition to Dodd Road was discussed during the five
year street capital improvement program between 'staff and Council
during the spring of 1980. The final resolution of consideration
of this street was not resolved at that time. The need for improve-
ment of the westerly half of this 1.5 mile stretch of roadway is
generated by the recent final platting of Canterbury Forest and
Wedgewood Addition. If this petition is accepted and a feasibility
report is ordered, staff can review and update, as a part of this
feasibility report, the impact on the overall capital improvement
program. This would enable the Council to further evaluate the
timely need for a completion of the street in relation to the pro-
posed five year capital improvement program.
Enclosed on pages 5"7 through Sg is a copy of the letter as
submitted by Dunn urry Real Esta to Management, Inc., pertaining
to this issue.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To accept the petition
from Dunn Curry Real Estate Management, Inc., to complete Wilder-
ness Run Road and, if accepted, authorize staff to prepare a feasi-
bility report for a public hearing.

Re: Completion of Wilderness Run Road from Lexington Avenue
to Dodd Road.
Dear Tom:
This letter is in request of an earlier request which we made
to the city regarding the completion of the above referenced
project. Last spring, I wrote you requesting the city con-
sider the paving of'Wilderness Run Road from its present termi-
nus to the easterly boundary of our Wedgwood First Addition.
At the time the request was made we were anticipating final
plat approval on the Wedgwood First Addition project (part of
Lexington South P.D.) and, therefore, requested the street con-
struction to be consistent with our construction program.
Our final plat has now been approved by the city. We are sche-
duled to begin construction on September 8, 1980. We would
again like to request that the city undertake the paving of
Wilderness Run Road from its present terminus through the in-
tersection of Lexington Avenue to Dodd Road.
Our reasons for the request are 1) to have the street completion
timed to the completion of our subdivision (early summer of 1981);
2) to extend this, road to its logical terminus on Dodd Road and
3) to complete a development program for which we are accepting
partial assessment. It seems inappropriate at best now that we
should be paying partial street assessments without corresponding
benefits.
.S
We have now closed on our Title X financing for this entire
area. We anticipate developments along Wilderness Run Road
next year and would request that the roadwork be extended as
one contract.
-We are prepared by this request to waive the necessary public
hearings and agree to accept the appropriate assessments to be
levied by this road (i.e. the equivalent residential front foot
charge).
We are concerned that in recent conversations with the city's
director of public works that the City Council is contemplating
not undertaking this road work as no development is imminent.
We find this to be inconsistent with approval of the final plat
recently granted by the city and are concerned that developments
which are underway and are subject to Federal financing guide-
lines approved by the city would not be undertaken in an orderly
manner.
Therefore, please consider this letter a formal request for the
paving and curbing of Wilderness Run Road from its present point
of completion through the intersection of Lexington to its termi-
nus at Dodd Road. This entire right-of-way length has the sewer
and water utilities already in and rough grading completed. It
seems logical that now we should look to the final paving and
curbing of this stretch of collector road.
aey ely yours,
D. Hardy

PETITION FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS- TWIN VIEW MANOR
C. Petition for Street Improvements for Twin View Manor A letter
was received from H.R. Benjamin who resides in the Twin View Manor
Addition, asking that the City consider a petition for street im-
provements for that subdivision. Mr. Benjamin indicates in his
letter that a majority of the property owners, now favor street
improvement and, therefore, would like the City Council to recon-
sider the proposed street improvement portion of Project 264.
Enclosed on pages 60 through 6!!1! is a copy of the petition
as submitted by Mr. Benjamin and a map- as prepared by the Director
of Public -Works which indicates the property owners who did sign
the petition in favor of the street improvement and those who did
not sign that petition.
If the street improvements are to be considered. for installation,
it is imperative that it be ordered as soon as possible so that
double work by the contractor will be eliminated. This extra work
involves the construction of rural drainage ditches as a part of
the utility improvement versus final grading for a proposed future
street improvement. With the problems currently being experienced
in the Clearview Addition after the installation of utilities,
staff strongly recommends that consideration be given to improve-
ment of the streets in the`Twin View Manor. These streets would
entail Erick's Boulevard and Delores Lane.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To accept the petition
and, if accepted, authorize staff to prepare a feasibility report
for a public hearing for street improvements for Twin View Manor
as requested.

ATTACHED: Petition for Street Improvements
ATTENTION: Mr. Tom Hedges
i
All seventeen property owners in the assessment area for the referenced
Project have been contacted by my wife and ten have signed a petition,
attached, requesting implementation of Street Improvements concurrent
with the Project. Some property owners previously against the entire
project favor providing the Street Improvements now that the sewer and
water lines will be installed. Opinions of those not signing the
petition varied from a firm N0 to an uncertain YES depending on a better
understanding of costs and assessment methods. Most who signed the
petition live in the south half of the development where erosion
problems are most severe.
With a majority now in favor of street improvements, we request re-
consideration of the Proposed Street Improvement portion of Project
No. 264 as soon as necessary to avoid duplicate costs after project
initiation.
Your consideration and assistance in this request is appreciated.t

REVIEW SPECIAL ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
E. Review Special -Assessment Committee Recommendations On
October 1, the Special Assessment Committee considered several
requests by residents in addition to the major assessment discussion
for Project #241. These individual requests are presented as
follows:
1. Project #246 - Imp. 79-6 (Carlson Lake Trunk Storm Sewer)
Deferment Request William Renwick Attached 'on pages
(7 'through i 9 is a request we received from Mr. Renwick re-
garding cons erd ation for the deferment of his trunk storm sewer
assessment as a result of the Carlson Lake lift station. His
request is based on the fact of hi's physical disability and
financial hardship:of a fixed income. He does not meet the require-
ments of Ordinance #56 for deferment under the senior citizen hard-
ship. The Special Assessment Committee accepted the staff's recom-
mendation that this assessment be deferred with the understanding
that it would be paid in full at the time that the existing home-
stead status of Mr. Renwick is changed for this property.
2. Project #241 Imp.-79-12,13 (Dodd Road Streets and Utilities)
- Assessable Footage, David Dehler Attached on page -70 is
an objection to the assessment for Project #241 based upon the
assessable footage" for-his property. This objection is based on
the .fact that newly constructed Dodd Road was relocated next to
a portion of Mr. D ehler's property. This relocation of Dodd Road
created a severed parcel under the ownership of Dunn & Curry which
the City will be purchasing per previous agreement. Once this
property is acquired by the City, it will be considered excess
boulevard right-of-way and, as such, assessable footage was deter-
mined to be adjacent to the new right-of-way of Dodd Road.' This
amounted to a shorter front footage due to elimination of several
curves. The Special Assessment Committee did' not take any action
on this manner as Mr. Dehler specifically requested that it be
reviewed by the Council on October 7. It is staff's recommendation
that the assessable footage remain as determined during the final
assessment hearing for Project #241.
3. Project #241 Trunk Area Assessments, Reduced Area Assessment
Request, Thomas Murr, Jack Germaine and Trudi Johnson - The Special
Assessment Committee at the meeting of October 1 reviewed these
three similar requests regarding the dedication of drainage and
ponding easements for consideration of reduction in the assessable
area pertaining to the trunk area sewer and water assessments.
The Special Assessment Committee accepted the recommendation of
staff that the trunk area assessment rates be reduced to reflect

elimination of the acreage dedicated for drainage and ponding ease-
ments with the condition that these easements be dedicated by
January 1, 1981. Copies of the written requests are enclosed on
pages 7( through 74
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve or deny the
recommendations of the Special Assessment committee as persented
for items 1 and 3. To approve or deny Mr. D ehler's request as

Dear Tom:
As per our previous discussions concerning Mr. Al Rahn's

properties.
Please consider this letter a request to prepare plans and
specifications for said extension. Mr. Rahn hereby waives
any requirement to a public hearing regarding this project.
If at such time as the official plans and specs and bids
are available and the price appears to be excessive or for
any other reason should Mr. Rahn cancel the request for
sewer and water, then Mr. Rahn agrees he will pay any and
all expenses incurred by the City for preparation and bidding.
I would appreciate a return letter laying out the probable
schedule for the improvements to be constructed.

that would be assessed would be only those costs for sewer, water and

'When the lots in these additions are platted, these cost would then
be broken down on a per lot basis.
Ide would appreciate hearing from either yourself or Keith Gordon as

REVISION TO ORDINANCE #52
H. Revision to Ordinance #52 Staff has had an inquiry from
a person who wishes to construct a restaurant within the indus-
trially zoned district. According to Ordinance #52, a restaurant
is a- permitted use within the I-1, Limited Business, District.
However, the applicant who has, inquired abut the restaurant has
also inquired about an on-sale` liquor license for the restaurant
in question. At the present time, there is nothing in the ordinance
which would allow on-sale liquor in a I-1, Limited Industrial,
Zone. In all commercial districts where restaurants are permitted,
on-sale liquor is a conditional use within each commercial zoning
classification. The only place in the ordinance a restaurant is
allowed without liquor at the present time is in the I-1, Limited
Industrial, District.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: If the City Council wishes
to.amend Ordinance #52 to include on-sale liquor as a conditional
use within the I-1, Limited Industrial, District, a motion should
should be made to direct the City Attorney to draft the amendment
to Ordinance #52
t If the Council does not wish to include on-sale
liquor in the industrial area, then staff would go back to the
applicant who is proposing the restaurant within the industrial
district and inform him liquor would not be permitted. However,
he could continue to construct the restaurant.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 1980
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE MEMO
At the request of the City Council, Officer Dale Brule made an
investigation of 3901 Riverton and it appears that all signs of
junk and other debris on the yard of the aforementioned lot has
been cleaned -up. There are approximately three vehicles on the
front yard that appear to be under maintenance. However, they
are licensed and acceptable on the property.
A brochure was received from Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc., Con-
sulting Engineers, with an article entitled, "Do Stop Signs Really
Slow Traffic?" The article does raise some rather interesting.
arguements. Enclosed is. a copy of the article on pages
S ~Z through 2 3
It is the interpretation of the City's auditor that regulation
regarding the direct payment to the utility _fund for the costs
that were incurred- by the City for the purchase of land where the
library is to be located will not cause any problems either with
the Davis Bacon Act or any other compliance requirement. Future
construction of the new library will be entirely a county matter
and will not impact the City's use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds.
It is apparent that the new Cedar Avenue bridge will open on October
29, 1980. If the City Council wishes to have a private inspection
of the bridge with MnDOT officials, a meeting should be scheduled
after the October 7, 1980 City Council meeting.
The City staff has met and discussed all the street names in the
RidgeCliffe Additions. Representatives of the Police, -Fire and
Building Inspection Departments have met to discuss these names
and it was the recommendation of the staff that changes by made
to Parkano Drive which will be named Lenore Lane at the request
of the City Council and Nokia Way. will be named Ivory Way. The
City has assurance from Orin Thompson that the changes will be
made on the hard shells.
The City of Eagan was successful in its claim against a bid bond
from W. W. Dawson, Inc., in the amount of $661 for the Briarhill

an increase in speeds as a result
of unjustified stop sign installa-
tions. Finally, a citizen successfully
sued a city in northern Ohio for il-
legally installing stop signs for the
express purpose of speed control.
The city was forced to remove the
signs and to pay the plaintiff for
his court fees.
Apparently drivers who fail to see
the reason for installation of a stop
sign develop a tendency to disre-
gard the sign and to roll past it.
There is also a tendency for drivers
to over accelerate and exceed low-
er speed limits. It is also apparent .
that a number of drivers are also
somewhat irritated by the installa-
tion of these signs and develop
a tendency to make up for lost time
by traveling at higher speeds be-
tween signs. A most interesting ob-
servation of enforcement agencies
monitoring these types of installa-
tions is that the arrests generally
are of nearby residents who. may
have campaigned for the sign in-
stallation in the first place.
The annual cost to stop 1000 vehi-
cles per day on a 35 mph street
was calculated as $9600 in excess
vehicle operation costs, according
to Long Beach, CA engineers. Also
of concern are additional emis-
sions, lost time, extra fuel use and
the urge to squeal tires.
It is extremely difficult to face a
number' of angry citizens armed
with petitions and emotions and not
accede to their demands. Perhaps
studies like these will help citizens
understand that stop signs will not

try to better define the problem
which in turn enables one to find a
solution or means of managing the

trarily installing a stop sign.

stop signs and a number of other
traffic control devices and has
solved a "number of local traffic

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE EAGAN CITY COUNCIL
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
AUGUST 19, 1980
The Eagan City Council met for a special meeting at the call of the Mayor in
the City Administrator's office on Tuesday, August 19, 1980, at 6:00 p.m. All
members were present as were City Administrator Hedges, Police Chief DesLauriers
and City Attorney Hauge. The Mayor announced the topic of discussion was to con-
sider a proposed settlement concerning the companion actions entitled "Robert
Benford and Lori Benford vs. City of Eagan." Staff members indicated that they had
been discussing the actions with the attorneys for the two insurance companies,
Home Insurance Company and Midland Insurance Company, and a proposal for settlement
has now been made in the sum of $115,000 with $100,000 payable to Lori Benford
and her daughter and $15,000 to Robert Benford, Jr., and Robert Benford, Sr. It
was understood that the plaintiffs in each action have agreed to the settlement
terms but that the two insurance companies who have agreed to share in the settle-
ment equally have not acquired adequate commitment from the two companies yet to
complete the settlement. When the action started in 1976, the City Council asked
the insurance companies to inform it as to any proposed settlement and to acquire
an opinion from the Council as to the settlement terms.
City Attorney Hauge went through in some detail the proposed settlement and
the implications of the potential time involved in trying the case before a jury in
Dakota County, the potential implications of the claim for punitive damages, the
exposure as to liability regarding the facts and expected publicity during trial of
the case. Neither Mr. Hauge not Mr. Hedges made a_recommendation for settlement but
simply conveyed the information passed along from the attorneys for the insurance
companies. Chief DesLauriers recommended that the Council not approve the settle-
ment and recommended the insurance companies proceed with trial on the basis that
the Eagan patrolman had been vindicated before the Grand Jury in 1976. Each of
the members of the Council strongly felt that there was no liability on behalf of
the Police officers or the City and gave strong vocal support to the Police Depart-
ment members involved in the incident. There was also discussion concerning the
possibility of the City Council approving the settlement and.the insurance company
proceeding to trial as to the legal implications including the responsibility of
the insurance companies regarding any excess jury award above the recommended
settlement by the Council. Councilmembers also discussed the strong possibility
of the finding of punitive damages which have resulted in a number of recent cases.
After considerable discussion, Egan moved, Wachter seconded the motion that the
City Council be on record recommending approval of the proposed settlement with the
understanding that the City will not contribute towards the settlement, that the
two liability insurance carriers for the City will contribute sufficient funds to
cover the total proposed settlement of $115,000; that the Council's position is that
there was no wrongdoing by the patrolman in the incident, and that neither the
patrolman nor the City is liable for any damages for the alleged claims; and that
because of the possible punitive damages and damages in excess of the liability
carrier limits that it appears prudent to settle the case. All members voted
reluctantly in favor of the motion.
The special meeting adjourned at 6:40 p.m.
