ADJOURNMENT Agenda Information Memo January 12, 2016 Special City Council Workshop III. JOINT MEETING WITH EAGAN'S LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION / 2016 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES Action to be Considered: No formal action is needed. Eagan's legislative delegation has been invited to the workshop to dialogue with the Council regarding legislative issues of importance during the 2016 session. Facts: ➢ The City of Eagan is represented by State Senators Jim Carlson, District 51 and Jim Metzen, District 52, along with State Representatives Sandy Masin, District 51A; Laurie Halverson, District 5113; and Joe Atkins, District 52B. ➢ It is the tradition of the City Council to meet with the legislative delegation at the first Council workshop in January. Invitations were sent on November 12, 2015 to each member of the delegation inviting them to attend the January 12 workshop. ➢ In addition to the many legislative priorities the City of Eagan supports through its membership with the LMC, MLC, and Metro Cities, the enclosed list of legislative priorities has been established to serve as a discussion guide for the joint meeting. This list is not intended to be comprehensive of every legislative issue important to the City; however, it does represent the more critical issues facing the City. ➢ The enclosed legislative priorities were reviewed by the Council at the December 8 Council workshop, and approved at the December 15 City Council meeting. The legislative priorities were emailed to each member of the legislative delegation on December 16, 2015. At the Council's request, the delegation was told the Council is interested in hearing which committees the legislators will be assigned to, as well as any issues that could be impactful to the City of Eagan or local governments in the coming session. ➢ State Representatives Halverson, Masin and Atkins, along with State Senator Carlson, responded that they would be in attendance at the workshop. Senator Metzen sent his regrets that he is unable to attend. Attachments: (1) 111.-1 2016 City of Eagan Legislative Priorities City of Eap 2016 Legislative Priorities The following are the City of Eagan's 2016 Legislative priorities. To avoid repetition, this list does not restate all of the initiatives addressed through policy documents set forth by the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), Metro Cities, or the Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC). However, some of the City's priorities do restate positions expressed by the aforementioned lobbying organizations, as they are the highest priority initiatives for the City of Eagan. The City of Eagan respectfully requests the support of our Legislative delegation on the following initiatives: 1. Provide the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) with funding for programs supporting job creation and growth. While the City of Eagan is conservative in its use of tax based business financing assistance, Eagan businesses have benefited by participation in the Minnesota Investment Fund and Job Creation Fund Programs. By providing continued funding to these and other programs DEED manages, the State can provide direct and measurable job attraction and growth. 2. Oppose elevating housing to one of the metropolitan systems over which the Metropolitan Council has authority and, by extension, retain the authority to make residential zoning and policy issues at the city level. • The City of Eagan has a long history of planning and providing opportunities for the formation of a wide range of housing types to serve various populations, and we will continue to do so. • The City believes strongly that the determination for the appropriate mix and density of its residential zones lies with the City. The City appreciates the perspectives the Metropolitan Council provides with respect to land use planning generally, but the City opposes housing being among the "systems" under the Met Council's umbrella. 3. Workforce Readiness - Support DEED and educational efforts to prepare workers for the jobs that are available and will be available in the evolving economy. • One of the areas that is extremely important to the City's residents and businesses is the readiness of the workforce for the jobs that are currently available and those that will become available in the future. This is also an area a city has the least ability to affect. • It is essential that resources be available both for basic education and specialized and advanced training in the range of ongoing and emerging skill areas to support the evolving economy. The efforts of local educational institutions, the higher education system, customized training programs and the workforce investment boards are all essential to this effort. 4. Oppose any DNR efforts to significantly increase water appropriation fees or mandates to require surface water as drinking water. Increases fees or mandates would result in an increase to City utility/water rates. There are conservation efforts worth considering that would provide similar benefits to what such appropriation fees or mandates are intended to achieve. 5. Simplify and clarify the sales tax exemption for public purchases/improvement projects, and apply the exemption to all purchases made by local units of government. • As currently worded, the sales tax exemption law does not apply to all City purchases. • In order to receive the sales tax exemption on construction materials under current law, cities must bid labor and materials separately and also designate a contractor to be a purchasing agent on behalf of the City. • The process to realize the tax savings under Department of Revenue rules is so complex that it can cost the city more money to implement than save on the tax exemption. • Solutions to fix the system include: exempting all local government purchases (including all vehicle purchases), simplify the process to receive the exemption for construction materials or convert it into a refund program, and amend the law to immediately treat purchases by all local government units (including special taxing districts and joint powers entities) as exempt rather than requiring these entities to wait until January of 2017, as currently stated in law. 6. Oppose efforts to ban municipal broadband. • The FCC has overturned two states' efforts to eliminate municipal broadband, leading the telecomm industry to sue to block the FCC's action. • Restricting municipal authority on broadband is contrary to state law and not in the best economic development interests of Eagan, should efforts be made here to restrict AccessEagan or systems like it. • As a corollary issue, last year there were specific and initially successful efforts by the Job Growth Committee to discontinue funding for the MN Office of Broadband Development, which Eagan's largest employers and the first State Broadband Task Force fought to establish. • The Office of Broadband Development needs funding to help achieve significantly higher broadband speeds and to ensure that robust and affordable internet connectivity is widely available. Agenda Information Memo January 12, 2016, Special City Council Workshop IV. REVIEW OF EAGAN FORWARD DRAFT PLAN Action To Be Considered: To accept the Eagan Forward draft plan and support the strategies set forth in the plan. The Council is also encouraged to provide feedback on the draft plan to assist Rebecca Ryan in preparing the final Eagan Forward Plan in advance of the January 28 community roll out event. Facts: This past February, the Council entered into a contact with Next Generation Consulting to conduct a community visioning exercise in 2015-2016. Rebecca Ryan, founder and co-owner of Next Generation Consulting, has served as the facilitator of the project. Eagan Forward was initiated to create an inclusive, candid process to give Eagan an opportunity to address its challenges, engage new leaders, assess the trends impacting the region, and identify a new vision for the area's current and future residents. Over the past four months, under the guidance of Rebecca and a 10 -member volunteer Steering Committee, the community has been engaged in Eagan Forward, offering their ideas, hopes and dreams for Eagan. On December 8, the Council provided feedback to Rebecca Ryan on the first draft Eagan Forward plan. A revised draft has since been prepared and distributed to the Council. The revisions Rebecca made to the plan reflect suggestions and feedback previously offered by the Council, Eagan Forward Steering Committee and the City's management team. The Council is asked to provide feedback to the draft plan. Following the workshop, Rebecca will revise the plan per feedback from the Council, and then send the draft plan to her graphic designer, who will put the finishing touches on the document before it is rolled out to the community on January 28. v Rebecca has also asked the Council to offer their support of the strategies suggested in the draft plan. The January 28 roll out event will include Rebecca serving as the keynote speaker. She will speak about what the future holds for Eagan and the region, and also summarize the recommended strategies contained in the Eagan Forward plan. The community will have the opportunity to form study action groups to further research the recommended strategies and actions of Eagan Forward.

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work [...] Remember that our sons and our grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. - Daniel Burnham, American Architect and Urban Planner Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years WHY EAGAN FORWARD? WHY NOW? "Eagan is a great place to live. " "Eagan has great schools." "Eagan is one of the best -run cities in Minnesota." "Eagan is business friendly and has a well-trained workforce." "Eagan has low poverty, high median income, and high education levels. " These are some of the wonderful things that citizens, employers, and fans say about Eagan. Even national publications like USA Today and Money Magazine list Eagan is a "great place to live". So, why embark on a 20 -year visioning process like Eagan Forward, when things seem to be working just fine? Because the best don't rest. Being a great place to live is not something that's accomplished once and then crossed off the list. The Minneapolis -St. Paul area has many examples of suburbs that were "great places to live" a generation ago, but are floundering today. Eagan's City Council initiated Eagan Forward because of their commitment to ensure that Eagan is future ready and remains a great place to live for its next generation of kids and grandkids. The timing for Eagan Forward, a community wide initiative to imagine Eagan 20 years from now, is important for several reasons: Eagan is at a critical point in its growth. The suburban boom that fueled Eagan's last three decades is nearly over. Eagan has developed most of its empty available land, and now must shift to re -use and redevelopment. As CityVue demonstrates, infrastructure built for one purpose a generation ago must be reimagined and redesigned for changing needs. Eagan Forward is a strong step in this direction. Citizens want to be engaged. Our increasingly consumer -oriented society allows people to "have it their way." This carries over into communities, where engagement and satisfaction are increasingly linked. Importantly, Eagan Forward put citizen engagement at the center of the agenda. Using a blend of social media and in-person Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 3 3 meetings, an estimated 800 people offered thousands of ideas for Eagan's future. Respondents ranged from school -aged children to community elders, and included those who speak languages beyond English. Engaging citizens in this process elicited great ideas, and also helped. = Demographic, technology and economic forces will shape Eagan's next 20 years. To be future ready, Eagan must squarely face the trends impacting its citizens and their expectations. This plan balances citizens' wishes with data -based projections about the trends most likely to impact the community in the next generation. The plan on the following pages included three primary sources of input: ' (1) Citizen input. As mentioned previously, Eagan residents offered thousands of ideas, to help the community thrive in the next 20 years. Throughout this document you will see this caption icon whenever an Eagan resident is being quoted. (2) Trend analysis. A team of futurists looked at the "STEEP" (society, technology, economy, environment, and political) changes likely to impact Eagan in the next 20 years. Specific recommendations that will help Eagan be future ready are included in this document. (3) A Quality of Life assessment. The Eagan Forward steering committee benchmarked Eagan against four other "best places to live" in the U.S., to discover best practices to help Eagan become even better. The benchmark cities included Centennial Colorado, Carmel, Indiana, Overland Park, Kansas, and Plymouth, MN. The following pages include strategies to help Eagan preserve the things residents value most, and also achieve even more in the next 20 years. Not all ideas will be implemented, and some may need to adapt, but all of them express the hopes of Eagan's citizens, and are responsive to the trends most likely to impact Eagan's future. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years THE VISION EAGAN IS AMERICA'S BEST PLACE TO LIVE Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years STRATEGY 1 EAGAN IS A PLACE FOR ALL PEOPLE What is a city, but the people? Shakespeare Who is Eagan for? Looking at history, we might say that Eagan is for nuclear families with school -aged children who are in the upper middle class. And usually, Caucasian. These are the families who moved to Eagan during its first waves of growth, and helped develop the community we know today. Looking forward, Eagan is expected to grow to 87,000 people by 2040. But the people who will fuel that growth will be different than those who fueled the first waves. Eagan's' future residents will be older, have fewer children, and represent more ethnic minorities. Here are some of the key demographic and societal trends that will shape Eagan's future: Young people are getting married later, or not marrying at all. In 1960, two-thirds (68%) of all twenty -somethings were married. In 2008, just 26% were.' Fewer couples are having kids. In the peak of the Baby Boom after World War II, roughly half of American households were engaged in raising children. By 2020, that number will be closer to 25%.2 In Eagan, 32.5% of households currently have children under age 18.

Nielson as reported in The Great Inversion and the Future of the American City by Alan Ahrenhalt Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 6 6 Seniors are living longer. The dramatic increase in average life expectancy during the 20th century ranks as one of society's greatest achievements. In 1900, a newborn could expert to reach her or his 50th birthday.3 Today in Minnesota, life expectancy is 81 years old, ranking second in the United States behind Hawaii.4 By 2030, the number of Minnesotans over age 65 is expected to almost double and older adults will compose about one-fifth of the population.5 Minorities are moving to the suburbs. Between 2000 and 2010, the Minneapolis -St. Paul suburbs added 24 minority residents for every new white resident. More minorities now live in the suburbs than in the central cities. In 2000, whites made up 90 percent of the Twin Cities suburbs. Now nearly one out of five suburban residents is a minority.6 In Eagan between 2010 and 2014, the white population decreased slightly while Asian, Hispanic and Black populations increased. In Eagan's public schools (ISD 191, 196, and 197), 20% of all children are minorities. Eight percent are Asians, 5% are African American, 5% are Hispanic and one percent are two or more races. How can Eagan leverage these trends and become a place for all people? 1.1 Embrace Seniors The Minnesota State Demographic Center projects that by 2030, nearly 25% of Dakota County's population will be age 65 and older.? (Data for the City of Eagan is unavailable.) Eagan's growing senior population is adamant: they love Eagan, and they want to stay here. But there must be more housing options that are "senior friendly." Today's seniors are active longer; they want walkable communities and things to do. Eagan will prosper if it makes room for its seniors. Research shows that seniors who are integrated into communities enjoy better health, and communities are healthier when seniors are engaged. 3 National Institute on Aging, aging/living-longer, accessed December 3, 2015 4 List of US States by Life Expectancy, https://en.wiki edp ia.o[g/wiki/ List of U.S. states by life expectancy, accessed December 3, 2015 5 Minnesota Compass "Overview," http://www.mncom a�g/demographics/overview, accessed December 3, 2015 6 Richard Chin and MaryJo Webster, "Minorities drove the majority of Minnesota's growth over past decade," Pioneer Press, April 17, 2011 Dakota County Demographics, https%//www.co.dakota.mn.us/Government/publiccommittees/ CHA/Documents/Demogra hp ics.pd, accessed on January 3, 2016. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years The two most frequently mentioned needs for seniors in Eagan: Housing that is affordable, single level, aesthetically pleasing and integrated into the community. Seniors don't want to be boxed up and shipped off; they want to stay actively engaged in the community. Many seniors at focus groups and online echoed this senior's sentiment: "Eagan does have a few affordable senior housing developments. But the wait lists are 12 to 18 months long.' Transportation options that will help seniors meet their needs. One senior asked if there could be an "Uber" for seniors, to pair stay at home parents who might be willing to offer a ride to a senior, to keep a doctor appointment or go to the store. One focus group participant summarized his thoughts in a letter, addressing ways that Eagan could embrace its seniors. The letter included this idea: "Golden Years Initiative "There was agreement (at our focus group table) that senior citizens never want to stop learning (e.g. senior language or history classes); they continue to enjoy all types of entertainment that includes but is not limited to: going to the theatre, visiting a restaurant or museum, outdoor recreational activities etc. A number of people also recommended travel -related activities that could offer tours for interested residents, not only within Minnesota, but regional, national and international trips. Seniors often get bored and they want to stay invigorated and active. If you combine Learning, Entertainment and Travel you come up with the acronym L.E.T. Eagan could have a "LET's Program" that would be open to all age groups. It is noteworthy to point out that by 2020, the number of senior householders (44%) will be 75 and older. A significant percentage of this group will be living in multi -generational households. There is a need for more homes/apartments that can accommodate both younger and older family members. Home builders would be well served to meet with future home buyers and listen to their suggestions for how these dwellings should be built to meet the expected needs of an aging population. Seniors are living longer and access to local healthcare is paramount. These issues need to be addressed." Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years In addition, seniors mentioned their desire for amenities like pickle ball courts, a dedicated senior center with space for multiple concurrent uses, hospitals and clinics, multigenerational housing options, and a grant program that would help them renovate their basements and move their laundry to the main floor, to be more accessible. One last note ... There are many ways that Eagan can build physical infrastructure for its seniors. But we must remember that isolation and loneliness are the two most often cited maladies of the elderly. Feeling connected to their community requires more than transportation; it requires a community -wide sense of inclusion and compassion. Read more about this in Strategy 3: Eagan is a Healthy Community 1.2 Invest in amenities that appeal to young singles, aka the "Millennials," and empty nest Baby Boomers Interviews and focus groups with Eaganites reveal a surprising insight: many Baby Boomers who are empty nesters are considering moving to St. Paul to be closer to "downtown." They cite restaurants, walkability, and the desire to downsize. These are the same amenities that young, single Millennials are looking for in a community. Although Eagan will never be St. Paul, many suburbs are responding to residents' requests for a town square with "urban villages" - places where you can park your car once and walk to a bar, a restaurant, a book shop or other retail establishment, and enjoy an outdoor meal. "The Flats" at Cedar Grove are one example of this kind of development. "Walkability" and a "downtown city center" were mentioned in dozens of online forums and chalkboards. One resident summed it up well: C) "Create a walkable city core where people can genuinely live, work, and play without needing to own a car. Site housing closer to transit stations, and provide vertical mixed use (retail on the ground, housing on the upper stories)." Belmar (pictured below) is Lakewood, Colorado's urban village, a response to citizens' requests for a more walkable "city center" feel in a suburban setting. Belmar retrofitted a dead low-rise shopping mall surrounded by parking lots into an area with an interconnected, walkable street grid and ground level retail space topped by offices and residences. Strategy 4: Eagan as a Destination includes ideas on how to incorporate the "Urban Village" concept into Eagan's future redevelopment. The following community amenities were Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years '!'I l .: ,11!_ • r� �'�\ � air mentioned repeatedly by Eagan citizens, to be included in the urban village, or developed elsewhere: -� Trader Joe's (mentioned over 40 times), Whole Foods, or a natural food co-op Curbside composting 4 Another dog park (Millennials have dogs before they have children, and pet ownership is at an all-time high in the U.S.) Disc golf (possible re -use of some former golf courses) Al fresco (outdoor) dining options 4 Independent restaurants (not typical national chains) 4 Outdoor programming, e.g. using Caponi Park to host more local theater and musical performances One transplant to Eagan explained his experience in a vibrant suburb in Iowa: "I am from Clive, Iowa and a big hit in the area is their outdoor music venue with a beer garden in the summer. There are at least three performances a week and are well attended. This (beer sales) could be a fund raiser for an Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 10 1t organization." 1.3 Commit to being a welcoming community Eagan's residents are becoming more diverse. Minorities are the fastest growing population in the Twin Cities' suburbs, and dozens of languages are spoken in homes where Eagan students live. Local employers confirm that their workforces will continue to become more diverse, in part because countries including China and India are producing more graduates with post -secondary degrees, as the table below shows. Eagan residents understand that the community is changing. And many want their community to be a welcoming one. As one resident said: C) "My one wish for Eagan is that it is a place where people of all skin colors, gender, sexual orientation, and a variety of cultural differences would respect each other and celebrate each other."

Other suburbs are innovating and leading the way. Brooklyn Park is one of the Twin Cities most diverse suburbs. There, a series of city -led initiatives have helped the community engage non-English speaking households, a proactive effort that was given a Humanitarian Award by the International Association of Chiefs of Police "This is an opportunity to get to know the public you serve and look at the way you're doing business. The way Brooklyn Center does business today is completely different from the way we did business 20 years ago. If we still did business like we did 20 years ago we wouldn't be in a good spot."8 -Brooklyn Park Police Cmdr. Brian Peters Other ideas: Fly the flags of every country represented in the school districts in a public park or civic space, to showcase the many heritages found in Eagan. Add an Ethnic Food Festival to the community's annual calendar of celebrations. Partner with restaurants, churches with non-English speaking services, ethnic grocers, etc. The purpose is to raise awareness of Eagan's diversity through food. - Offer the City of Eagan's website in additional languages, based on the primary languages of its non-English speakers. (Google Translator is used on the City of Minneapolis's website and can instantly convert the Eagan website to over 90 languages. http://transiate.google.com/manager/website/?hl=en) Convene a Diversity Roundtable that includes Human Resource professionals and Chief Diversity officers from the region's public, private, and education sectors, to discuss best practices to engage and retain racial and ethnic minorities. - Create a "Welcome Eagan" initiative, similar to those undertaken in other communities like Toledo, Ohio. The initiative was founded several years ago to help companies attract global talent, and be a welcoming and inclusive community. 1.4 Invest in additional amenities for families with school aged children A core of Eagan's identity has always included an emphasis on children. The love that parents have for their children is timeless and transcends country of origin. Many community members - including kids! - would like to see additional amenities in Eagan.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development is the longest study of adult life. For 75 years, it's tracked the lives of 724 men (and eventually their wives), year after year, asking about their work, their home lives, and their health. The clearest message from the study is this: Good relationships keep people happier and healthier.9 How can Eagan turn this insight into action, and become one of the country's healthiest (and happiest) communities? 2.1 Design the community to maximize social connections Robert Waldinger, Director of the Harvard study noted above explains: "[...] Social connections are really good for people, and loneliness kills. ! People who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. And the experience of loneliness turns out to be toxic. People who are more isolated than they want to be are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely." The popularity of Eagan's Streets Alive and National Night out demonstrate that citizens enjoy these opportunities for human connection with their neighbors and co -residents. Now the questions becomes: Can we design (or retrofit) Eagan for greater human connection? Eagan residents seem to think so. Here are some of their ideas: "I really took some time to think about this, Eagan has been a wonderful city to be a newlywed, to be a young family, to raise kids in. The only thing I can think of is that we lack sidewalks. Sidewalks make a neighborhood." "My wish for Eagan is that it will become a center for walking to and from stores, restaurants, parks and more. It would be great to be able to walk or bike safely from one part of Eagan to another." 9 Robert Waldinger, "What Makes a Good Life? Lessons from the Longest Study on Happiness", http://www.ted.com/talks/ mbert waldinger what makes a good life lessons from the longest study on happiness/ transcri to ?language=en#t-557200, accessed January 4, 2016. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 15 1`. Eagan succeeded in the mid- to late -20th century as a car -based suburb. But now it has reached a size (67,000 people) and density (thousands of jobs within the community, hundreds or retailers, etc.) where cars don't have to be the only alternative. What's more, the next generation doesn't like to drivej10 Nationally, only about 27 percent of 16 -year-olds now get their licenses, compared with 46 percent in 1983, according to the federal census and highway administration data. And "no texting while driving" laws make driving even less appealing to a generation that relies on connection to their smart phone. As Eagan grows to an estimated 87,000 people in the next generation, citizens will expect to live more of their lives outside of their cars, on foot and on bike.

The image below used to be a large parking lot in front of a strip mall. In winter, it's repurposed to become a community ice skating rink. (Lakewood, CO). 2.2 Program Eagan's public parks and trails for greater use Eagan has over 100 miles of biking and hiking paths and dozens of beautiful parks. Some of those trails and parks are connected to each other. Some are not. Many citizens asked for some modest, additional amenities, like benches along the hiking paths, so hikers can have a rest. Other recommendations were practical: more toilets at public parks. One Eagan resident, who's just returned after living three years in Holland, wrote a three page letter to the community, based on her dream. Many of her suggestions have been incorporated into this plan: "My dream for Eagan Forward is to make Eagan a community where residents feel safe to use their bicycles for transportation. I would venture to guess that the vast majority of Eagan citizens use their bikes for Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 18 1f recreation. My dream goal is to get Eaganites out of their cars and use their bikes for transportation." Ideas to consider, to increase usability of Eagan's public parks and trails: Complete connections between hiking and biking trails, including adding pedestrian bridges over Yankee Doodle, Pilot Knob, and Lexington Road, to safely connect the trail system 4 Paint sharrows and bike boxes on roads, to raise awareness of bikers 4 Offer a bike sharing program, possibly underwritten by a local health care or insurance company Designate specific secondary roads as bike routes, e.g. Westcott Road. ;> Designate low-volume streets as bike -friendly by painting "sharrows" on them, to signal that the roads are to be shared with bicyclists.

It has a AAA bond rating, proof of the City Council's historic commitment to fiscal prudence. It is home to several large employers including Thomson Reuters, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and the US Postal Service. Because of its strong employer base, almost 100,000 people commute into Eagan every day for work. At home, over half of Eagan's residents have bachelor's degrees, and the median household income is above the national and state averages. How can Eagan leverage this strong economic and talent base for even greater success in the next generation? What trends will Eagan have to be attentive to, to ensure it remains a great place to live and work? 3.1 Offer affordable high speed internet to Eagan residents as a public utility. AccessEagan already offers high speed internet to its business community. Now it's time to take this a step further and offer high speed internet as an essential public utility, like water and electricity, to all Eagan residents. Some communities are already doing this. Eastern Tennessee, like AccessEagan, recognizes the high speed internet as an accelerator for economic development: "You had railroads, you had interstates, and this is the new infrastructure cities need to have," said Jody Wigington, CEO of Morristown Utility Systems (MUS), which is providing the internet service. "To us, this really is as essential to economic development as having electricity or water."" There are additional reasons Eagan should offer affordable high speed internet to residents: Mobile work/work at home. Increasingly, work isn't a place you go, it's what you do. High speed internet at home will be an expectation for future workers. Digital education. K-12 students are expected to post their homework to digital chalkboards and online folders from home. Community -wide wireless internet services would enable that, and close the "digital divide" where it still exists. In addition, robust internet service enables students to participant in MOOCs (massive open online courses) from Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and other institutions from their homes. " Jim Metheny, "Need for Speed: City Utilities Fight to Offer Internet", WBIR, May 6, 2015. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 22 2' 3.2 Invest in an Eagan Makerspace What is a Makerspace? A makerspace (sample pictured below) is a physical location where people gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build. Makerspaces provide tools and space in a community environment—a library, community center, private organization, or campus. Expert advisors may be available some of the time, but often novices get help from other users. The makerspace—sometimes referred to as a hackerspace—is often associated with fields such as engineering, computer science, and graphic design 12 Makerspaces are important to Eagan for several reasons: r Makerspaces reinforce the schools' focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) or STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), Makerspaces often host experienced engineers, electricians, and others to teach classes to the public. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 23 2. Makerspaces are multi -generational places where elders and children can learn and create together. Makerspaces encourage collaboration, thereby reinforcing connections among residents. In the same way that the YMCA offers expensive exercise equipment (basketball courts, weight machines, etc.) to all members, Makerspaces make expensive equipment like lathes and 3D printers available to members or the public. These tools are critical to inventors and entrepreneurs who are trying to test a physical product. 3.3 Develop an economic strategy to strengthen Eagan's arts and culture sector Eagan has a strong and increasingly organized arts and cultural community. Although large cities like the Twin Cities and Chicago can boast a broad spectrum of artistic offerings, from world class orchestras and operas to seasons of broadway shows, suburban communities like Eagan can become creative enclaves, places where artists and creatives can do residencies and experiment. Three ways Eagan can strengthen its creative economy: The Berkshire Creative Economy Project helped the region diversity its economy through a targeted plan to grow the creative and cultural economy. Learn more: http://www.mtauburnassociates.com/pubs/Berkshire_Creative_Economy.pdf - Cedarburg, Wisconsin's "Old Mill" (at right) was repurposed into an artists' coworking space, where artists rent individual studios and also sell their creations out of their workshops. It's a popular tourist destination, because visitors meet and interact with the jewelers, metalsmiths, painters and sculptors. It has grown to become a gathering spot for community festivals: http://www.cedarcreeksettlement.com/. Although Eagan doesn't have old buildings it can repurpose, it does have underutilized strip malls. The Kohler Company in Kohler, Wisconsin hosts artists -in -residence for two- to six- month residencies. Participants are exposed to a body of technical knowledge that enables them to explore forms and concepts not possible in their own studios as well as new ways of thinking and working. http://www.jmkac.orR/index.php/ artsindustry-residency Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 24 2. 3.4 Invest in a community art center ISD 196 prides itself on a robust arts program and regularly turns out award-winning students in theater, music, and fine arts. Beyond the schools, Eagan has a robust and increasingly well organized community of artists who produce a rich variety of visual and performing art in the community. But the Art House, the space that hosts it all, is not aspirational. One citizen summed it up well: "I have taken an art class at the Art House and feel it lacking in space, organization, clean environment, etc. It's a very out -dated facility compared to our surrounding cities [...] such as Bloomington, Burnsville, Lakeville, Richfield, Hopkins, Savage, Rosemount, etc. [We need to] expand, renovate, or rebuild a new facility that Eagan residents would be proud of. Besides visual arts, it could be large enough for performing arts, provide an art gallery of local art, rental options offered to public, etc. An art center helps to strengthen a community closer together, and would offer entertainment, education, and income to the city and it's residents through rental and fund raising opportunities."

In addition, art classes can be enjoyed by people of all ages and increase connections among residents. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 26 2 STRATEGY 4 EAGAN IS A DESTINATION When I want to go out to dinner, I go to St. Paul. I don't want to eat at chain restaurants. I want something special." Do you hear that sound? It's the sound of money leaving Eagan and being spent in St. Paul or other communities for better or more accessible dining and retail options. More than anything, citizens of Eagan want more retail options. More dining options. More independent restaurants and shops. They want those options to be walkable. And they really, really want a Trader Joe's! As Eagan becomes larger—a population of 87,000 residents by 2040 and hosting 100,000 commuters during the day—there is an opportunity to develop dynamic pedestrian friendly retail areas. Here are some methods to make Eagan a destination, to draw people from the Twin Cities after hours: 4.1 Update the comprehensive plan with urban village guidelines As previously discussed in Strategy 1, urban villages are an exciting option for suburbs going through redevelopment, or those suburbs hoping to attract young professionals or hang onto empty nest Baby Boomers. Eagan already has a version of an urban village, and Eagan's next comprehensive plan (which will begin in 2016-2017) should adopt many of the guidelines as laid out by Ellen Dunham -Jones and June Williamson in their book, Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs.13 Some elements include: v Modifying setbacks. Typical suburbs require setbacks hundreds of feet long. This creates large expanses of asphalt for parking in front of a retail establishment. By decreasing the amount of setback, stores are closer (and more visible) to passersby. Decreasing retailers' footprints. The "big box" phenomenon of the 1980s and '90s is being reversed. Today, retailers from Whole Foods to Target are finding that smaller stores are not only more acceptable in communities, they can be as profitable. Walkability. While traditional suburbs favored the car, retrofits favor pedestrians. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 27 2 Multi -use. As the Belmar example demonstrates, urban villages that offer first floor retail with second or third -floor residential options, are popular. y, Density. In this case, we're not talking about ten -story high rises like CityVue. In the context of urban villages, density is based on the concepts of new urbanism where single family (one story) homes are adjacent to modest two-story mixed use buildings, that eventually abut three- or four-story buildings. Offering mixed-use in this gradual, concentrated way enables Eagan to accomplish many of the goals citizens requested: an "urban center," walkability, more affordable housing for seniors and Millennials (if multi -story buildings offered elevators), and numerous places to eat and shop, within a short walk. In addition, it would make Eagan less car -dependent and decrease CO2 emissions. 4.2 Attract and develop new restaurants and retail Did you know that Eagan is the home to many chefs and restaurant owners in the Twin Cities? Did you know that Trader Joe's receives a call from a staff member at the City of Eagan every month or so? Here are some ideas to help Eagan get a more dense and interesting mix of retail: 4 Organize a citizen writing or calling campaign to recruit Trader Joe's - Host a dinner with Eagan -based chefs and asked them what it would take to help them set up shop in Eagan 4 Eat ten more meals in 2016 at one of Eagan's 30+ independent restaurants. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 28 2' The City of Eagan's Facebook page could promote a local restaurant or independent retailer once/week Design a Restaurants 101 course for students at the Mendota Heights Culinary School, to interest them in opening a restaurant in Eagan Reconsider the City's policy on food trucks Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 29 2 Goals Stakeholders Resources Needed 4.1 Update the comprehensive -City of Eagan (staff and plan with urban village council) guidelines -Developers 4.2 Attract new restaurants and retail Best Practices: *Citizens •Eagan -based chefs and restaurateurs -City of Eagan communications team *To be determined •N/A The Urban Land Institute offers a best practices guide for suburban revitalization: http://uti.org/wp�:. content/upload s/ULI-Documents/Shifting-Suburbs.pdf -� A primer on urban villages: http://uti.ore/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Sustainable-Suburbs- Retrofitting-Suburbia.pdf -� Here's the form to request a Trader Joe's in Eagan: http://www.trader4oes.com/contact-us/location- request Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 30 31 STRATEGY 5 UPDATE EAGAN'S BRAND "Please, please get rid of the goofy looking city symbol of the 'broccoli'. I love the idea of the oak tree as our city's symbol but can it please be re- designed. It looks like a kindergartner threw something together. - City of Eagan website, October 8, 2015 Cities often struggle with their brand. How can you illustrate, in a graphic or catch phrase, what Eagan is, especially when it is many things to many people? Yet, as Eagan enters its next generation of redevelopment, it's time to update its brand. 6.1 Extend an RFP to local designers or communications agencies to update Eagan's brand This RFP should include and not be limited to: A new logo A new or more consistent identity system for the city, and especially for any forthcoming urban village. This could include signs (wayfinding), banners for light poles, etc. Standard, unique -to -Eagan design elements that are programmed into all high visibility public places, e.g. libraries, city hall, community center, etc. The City has made a great start with the elements at the Community Center, etc. Design standards in the new comprehensive plan that represent the city's new brand. One citizen recommended to "Emphasize culture & craftsmanship through public art, brewpubs and community events". In West Central Texas where limestone is plentiful, the communities use the "Texas star" stamped into all community entrances. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 31 3 STRATEGY 6 PUTTING IT TO WORK HOW TO OPERATIONALIZE THE VISION Hundreds of Eagan residents have offered their voices and time to this plan. Now, how do we operationalize it? 6.1 Ask City Staff to consider all the recommendations. Over 500 community ideas have been indexed into broad categories like "kids," "downtown," and other categories. City staff should review the suggestions most relevant to their departments and offer a list of "Easy to Do" "Could do" (with explanation of what would be required) and "Can't do" that can be shared with the public. The department of Community Development will be tasked with Strategy 3, as it aligns closely with the upcoming overhaul of the Comprehensive Plan. They should also provide leadership for strategies 1.2 and 1.4. 6.2 Assign Study -Action Teams Study -Action teams are described below. These groups of volunteer stakeholders could be invited to tackle Strategies 1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and Strategy 4. Study -action teams are different than committees: - Study -action teams have a defined scope of work; they study an issue, and then they take appropriate action. When their work is done, the team disbands. -; Study -action teams do their own research to reach evidence -based conclusions; they rely on their members' resourcefulness, networks, and analysis. Although they may invite experts to brief them, study -action groups reach their own conclusions. Study -action teams include a diverse range of people—including those who would be impacted in the project. These are not blue ribbon panels that are at arms -length from the issue; members of study -action teams have a direct interest in the issue and are united by their commitment to do something about it. Here are sample guidelines: Diversity: Invite a diverse team. Ideally, all should share an interest in the issue at hand, and should represent a broad cross-section of the community, e.g. age, race, private or public sector, gender, profession, etc. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 32 3' Term: Many study -action teams can conclude their work in six months or less. Some take longer, up to two years. Some groups become bonded and many members want to continue to work together on related issues, after the original project has ended. Study generally includes: 4 Defining the issue clearly, in coordination with stakeholders, as needed. -� Determining what research is already available, reviewing it, and making fact -based conclusions. Sources of information must be documented and reputable. Determining what additional research is needed to "fill in the gaps" and obtaining it through networks, subject matter experts, interviews with stakeholders, etc. (Keep in mind, there is no such thing as perfect and complete information. It may be necessary to make recommendations without "perfect" information.) Reaching conclusions, based on the facts obtained in the previous stages. 4 Maintaining an objective balance at all times, e.g. letting the facts speak regardless of one's personal preferences or biases. Summarizing the group's conclusions. Here it is helpful to keep three "strands" of insight in mind. (1) The first is technical: those who will hear the study -action group's findings must understand the technical issues at play. The study -action team must demystify the knowledge, so that an ordinary citizen can learn enough to make decisions. It's not fair to leave this responsibility on the shoulders of regular citizens, or people in government and industry - this is a civic responsibility. (2) Second is the political strand - where are decisions made that affect this issue? What institutions, departments, corporations, bureaus, hearings, legislatures and so forth are involved? What's the process to impact those bodies? Who's deciding what, and when? (3) The third strand is perhaps the most important, because it's often the most neglected - the spiritual or moral strand. Study -action groups should find the deep roots of the community's motivation, its most deeply held values. Communities need values that are life-sustaining. Action generally includes: Developing recommendations based on the group's research. Writing up the group's conclusions and recommendations, keeping the three "strands" of knowledge in mind. 4 Developing ways to communicate conclusions and recommendations to key stakeholders. Influencing key decisions, based on the group's conclusions and recommendations. Determining further action, if needed. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 33 3' CONCLUSION In their best-selling business book, Buitt to Last, co-authors Jerry Porras and Jim Collins found that companies that were able to sustain themselves focused on two areas: ') Preserving their core values and principles; and 4 Stimulating progress through big, hairy, audacious goals ("BHAGs"), experimentation, and continuous improvement Eagan, of course, is not a company. But it has been built to last, and the citizen engagement generated by the Eagan Forward initiative made it clear that Eagan has built many things that citizens deeply cherish: strong schools, a commitment to tree canopy and green space, fiscal prudence, the arts. As Eagan faces its next 20 years—and the technology, economic, and demographic changes that will shape it—this plan can serve as a guide and a toolkit. And using citizen -based study action teams will be an important way to engage new voices and unearth new potential. As a final note, this plan included a Quality of Life assessment (See the appendix.) This assessment contrasts Eagan to four aspirational cities: Centennial, Colorado; Carmel, Indiana; Overland Park, Kansas, and Plymouth, Minnesota. Each of these cities is similar to Eagan in that they're suburbs of major American cities. But all of them have something special about them, that the Steering Committee felt we should study. The details of Eagan's relative strengths and weaknesses compared to these communities is detailed in the following pages, but the major takeaway is this: if Eagan wants to become a walkable, retail - district oriented community, it should look to Carmel, Indiana and Centennial, Colorado, the only cities that scored "T out of a possible ten points in any of the quality of life indexes. We have learned a lot in this process by listening to citizens, studying trends, and analyzing what makes other "great places to live" truly great. Now, it's time to take action. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 34 3, THINGS WE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY Throughout this process, some questions came up so often that we had to find the answers. Why can't we get a Trader Joe's? The City of Eagan can set zoning guidelines for specific parcels of land, e.g. if something is zoned "RI" it's for single family homes. But just because something is zoned for retail doesn't dictate which businesses move in. The best way to get Trader Joe's in Eagan may be a citizen campaign to Bring Us to Eagan! You can start the movement by filling out this online form: http://www.traderjoes.com/ contact-us/location-request Why doesn't Eagan have more sidewalks? In the post -World War Two era when gas was cheap and urban areas were seen as unsafe, suburbs sprouted up as clean, affordable alternatives to cities. But since most of the jobs were still in cities, suburbs—sometimes called "bedroom communities"—counted on the car as the primary mode of transportation to move workers from their homes to their jobs. Eagan grew up during this period and based its development (and most planning and zoning) on the car. Why does Eagan have three school districts? Eagan has ISD 191, 196, and 197. Of these, ISD 196 is the one that's usually referenced when people talk about Eagan's "great schools." Many citizens mentioned "three school districts" as a problem. One said, "In a city our size, a single high school can really help create a sense of community." Will Eagan ever have a single school district? Probably not. Redrawing district lines would require intense cooperation of all school boards, and a long legal process with the Minnesota Secretary of State.

The following people and activities informed this plan: 1. A Steering Committee of Eagan residents determined the guiding principles for the project, advised on outreach methods and audiences, hosted events, promoted the Eagan Forward process, selected the benchmark communities for the quality of life analysis, and reviewed and provided guidance on early versions of the Eagan Forward plan. 2. Eighteen past and current officials and subject matter experts participated in one- on-one interviews in late August, 2015. 3. "One Wish" chalkboards were in constant rotation around the city from September through November, 2015, organized by City of Eagan staff. On these chalkboards, residents could write their ONE WISH for Eagan. Over 250 ideas were submitted on chalkboards. 4. Four focus groups were hosted October 27-29, 2015. An estimated 150 people participated. 5. Over 200 ideas were collected on the City of Eagan's Facebook page and website between September and November 2015. Outreach questions for citizens were translated into several languages including Spanish and Russian. 6. NEXT Generation Consulting compiled the quality of life data and handprint in November, 2015. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 37 3 EAGAN'S QUALITY OF LIFE V. BENCHMARK COMMUNITIES Many things will change in Eagan over the next 20 years, but some things will remain constant. Quality of Life is valued by citizens regardless of the state of the economy, the diversity of citizens, or the invasiveness of technology. Quality of life can be measured. Research among America's best places to live show the following seven factors make up "quality of life." Vitality How healthy is Eagan? This index includes air and water quality, adult activity (wellbeing), primary care physicians, recreation opportunities, and the square footage of energy star rated buildings. Earning Talented workers expect to have multiple jobs in their lifetimes and value a community with a breadth and depth of occupational options, plus support for entrepreneurial ventures. This index includes current and future job growth, self- employment, women- and minority-owned businesses, median income, unemployment, patents per 1000 people, and presence of knowledge workers. Learning How smart is Eagan? This index includes public libraries, pupil -teacher ratio, education expenditure, percentage of the population with a HS diploma and college degrees, and wi-fi hotspots. Social Capital Strong communities have strong ties among and between different groups of people. This index evaluates Eagan' religious and ethnic diversity, crime rates, median age, children in poverty, adequacy of social support, dog parks, and farmers markets (the latter two are proven to create bonds among community members.) Cost of Lifestyle Can I afford to live in Eagan? This index includes income tax, sales tax, median selected monthly ownership costs, median rent, cost of food and groceries, utilities, and student cost of living. After Hours There's more to life than work. This is the index that tallies all the things to do and places to go after five, e.g. local music shows, brew pubs, independent coffee shops, arts, entertainment and recreation, and full service restaurants. Around Town How easy is it to get around? This index includes miles of dedicated pedestrian trails, walkability, commute times, percentage of commuters who bike, walk, use mass transit or carpool, percentage of people who work from home, and airport activity. Eagan Forward I A Vision for Eagan's Next 20 Years 38 31 The Steering Committee chose the following communities to benchmark Eagan against, in the seven Quality of Life indexes: 4 Centennial, Colorado 4 Carmel, Indiana 4 Overland Park, Kansas 4 Plymouth, Minnesota These communities were chosen as aspirational targets - suburban communities like Eagan, that sit close to a major urban center and have similar characteristics, e.g. size, makeup, history, etc. The table below shows the index scores for each community. A score of "5" is the normative average of all five communities. Ten is the highest possible score. 1 is the lowest possible score.

Facts: ➢ As part of the City of Eagan's 2015 work plan a survey of Eagan businesses was conducted in the fall over roughly a two month period. ➢ 2011 was the last time a similar survey was done and the new results indicate that for Eagan companies business conditions have generally improved compared to the economy four years ago. ➢ Responding businesses answered questions regarding what they see as their most serious issues, what role—if any—businesses would like the City of Eagan to have regarding those issues, how they rate City services and some respondents offered comments with suggestions for improvements. ➢ Using a purchased list of Eagan businesses in our zipcodes, every Eagan business was given an opportunity to fill out the questionnaire and the results reflect those who chose to respond. As such, the data provides a snap shot of business conditions and opinions this last fall from a good cross section of industry sectors and size of companies. ➢ However, as some questions applied only to a subset of companies—for instance those who happened to have interactions with City staff this last year—be mindful that in certain instances the actual number of responses may be small but may give the appearance of a larger percentage. ➢ Communications Director Garrison will provide a brief presentation summarizing the survey results and be available to answer questions.
