ADJOURNMENT Agenda Information Memo November 9, 2016, Eagan City Council Meeting III. JOINT MEETING WITH THE AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION A. FAA/MAC Briefing on Converging Runway Operations Action To Be Considered: There is no formal action. Staff from the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be present to provide a briefing on impacts associated with Converging Runway Operations. Facts: ➢ The FAA has implemented new safety standards at MSP Airport referred to as non -intersecting Converging Runway Operations (CRO). ➢ The FAA defines CRO when the extended centerline of two runways intersect within one nautical mile of the two runway departure ends, posing a potential risk if a landing aircraft on one runway discontinues its approach and goes around concurrent with a simultaneous departure from the other runway, and neither aircraft diverges from its initial flight path; ➢ The CRO procedures have impacted runway use and airport capacity. Most notably for Eagan, there has been a significant increase in departures off of Runway 17 (often referred to as the North/South Runway). Noise complaints ➢ Given the runway use trends over the past year, Eagan and other communities have raised concerns with the MAC and FAA. At Eagan's request, the NOC passed a resolution, which was later unanimously adopted by the MAC Commission of the whole, to request the FAA conduct an environmental review to thoroughly assess the existing and future impacts to noise and airport capacity from its CRO mitigation actions at MSP. The request includes a call for existing and forecasted runway use and noise contour analysis. ➢ Elaine Buckner, MSP Air Traffic Control Tower Manager, and Dana Nelson, MAC Manager of Noise, Environment and Planning, will be in attendance at the workshop to brief the Council and Airport Relations Commission on the impacts associated with CRO, and the FAA's plans to remedy those impacts. Attachments: III -1 Presentation, Converging Runway Operations III -2 Letter and Resolution from MAC to FAA B. PROPOSED 2016-2017 AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION WORK PLAN Action To Be Considered: There is no formal action. The ARC will present their proposed 2016-2017 work plan for discussion. Formal action to consider the work plan will be added to a future City Council consent agenda. Facts: ➢ The Airport Relations Commission (ARC) is prepared to dialogue with the Council about their proposed 2016-2017 ARC Work Program. Chuck Thorkildson, Chair of the ARC, will present an overview of the proposed work plan. ➢ If so directed by the Council, formal action can be included on the November 15, 2016 City Council consent agenda to approve the 2016-2017 ARC work program.

Sperry Tower Lighting Policy Direction For Consideration: Review considerations for a Lighting Policy for the Sperry Telecommunications Tower and provide direction to staff for accommodating future council action. Facts: ➢ On February 10, 2015, the City Council provided direction to staff for the preparation of the final plans and specifications that addressed the aesthetics and lighting details of the telecommunications facility that would replace the Sperry Tower Reservoir. ➢ On February 16, 2016, the Council awarded Contract 15-04 (Sperry Tower Recommissioning) to Vinco, Inc., for the removal of the 500,000 gallon Sperry reservoir/ tower and replacement with a new "Stealth" design telecommunication tower with LED lighting. ➢ The new telecommunications tower is scheduled to be completed next week. City, county and telecommunications antennas will be placed on the structure over the next month. ➢ The lighting features on the telecommunications tower, per Council direction, will have nearly limitless capabilities. The capabilities include the following: o Thousands of individual lights with unique control of each o Wide range of colors (indefinite) o Lighting - remain constant to consistently changing o Coordination of multiple lights creates apparent images that may move or form shapes ➢ As the lighting of the tower will be the first of its kind within the city, Staff believe the lighting of the telecommunications tower should be considered in regard to Section 11.70 (Performance Standards) of the City Code. Subdivision 28.K within said section of code addresses the placement, erection and maintenance of dynamic display signs. Under said code, dynamic display signs are allowed subject to the following conditions: o Display may not change or move more often than once every one minute o Images displayed must be static, and the transition from one static display to another must be instantaneous without any special effects o Images displayed must be complete in themselves, without continuation in content to the next image ➢ With great capabilities come great responsibilities. Staff have researched policies for similar lighting systems for both public and private facilities, in state and out of state, where schedules are often established for specialty lighting. A recent Star Tribune article (by Kavita Kumar, Business Section, October 23, 2016) detailed the creativity of similar LED lighting on the top of the Target Corporation headquarters in Minneapolis, where 30 different lighting designs purposefully provide a public art display. (https:/Zwww.youtube.com/watch?v=DIB2126s2SA) ➢ The management of the lighting by staff will be an additional responsibility not currently addressed. The lighting options offered for the Council's consideration have a wide variety of associated responsibilities, from very little to a considerable amount, at times. ➢ The Council may want to consider the appropriateness of modifying the City Code to address the accommodation of the desired lighting policy for the Sperry Tower. Consideration may also be given to the incorporation of the lighting as part of a public art policy for inclusion within the comprehensive guide plan update. ➢ Staff have completed a broad analysis of a variety of existing public and private facility lighting policies in response to the Council's direction and will be happy to address any questions the Council may have. CONSIDERATIONS Lighting Policy Options —for discussion purposes only • Consistent Color/Lighting ➢ Default color— Eagan Green ➢ Meet current conditions for dynamic display signs ➢ Unique color(s) for City recognized holidays —ONLY (See attachment) ➢ Lighting begins at sunset and concludes at midnight • Variable Color/Lighting ➢ Default color — Eagan Green ➢ Default lighting - Constant ➢ Meet current conditions for dynamic display signs ➢ Unique color(s)/lighting for City recognized holidays & other designated dates/ events/recognitions (See attachment) ➢ Lighting begins at sunset and concludes at sunrise the next morning • Public Art ➢ Annual palette of 2-3 dozen designs (seasonal in nature — see attachment) ➢ DO NOT meet current conditions for dynamic display signs ➢ Unique colors)/lighting for City recognized holidays & other designated dates/ events/recognitions (See attachment) ➢ Private requests of nature that are NOT religious, political, personal or commercial ➢ Lighting begins at sunset and concludes at sunrise the next morning Attachments: (3) IV -1 Draft Sperry Tower Lighting Policy, pages through IV -2 Draft Holidays/Designated Dates/Events/Recognitions, page IV -3 Draft Palette of Seasonal Designs, pages and SPERRY TOWER LIGHTING POLICY Policy should consider: Default color— Eagan Green Lighting beginning and ending times Meet current City Code: Section 11.70 (Performance Standards) Subdivision 28.K (Placement, erection and maintenance of dynamic display signs) Specific "traditional" lighting days (e.g. July 4th — red/white/blue, Christmas — red/green, etc.) Public art opportunity Policy may consider: • Lighting requests per application o Privilege, not entitlement o No guaranteed approval; selection is at the sole discretion of the City and not subject to appeals or negotiation o No feedback obligation regarding status, merit or denial of application o No automatic renewal; applicants must submit a new request each year and are not automatically guaranteed to be selected again o No lighting for religious, political, personal or commercial events o Submit 30 days before requested date • Lighting in response to specific event/occurrence (tragedy, championship, etc.) • Light shows celebrating holidays/events, synchronized to radio or internet broadcast • Web -based interactive individual access and control of lighting • Dim lights to be less distracting to migratory birds during certain times of the year DRAFT POLICY LANGUAGE POLICY STATEMENT The Sperry Tower is capable of providing special lighting which can enhance the citizen, business and visitor experience while promoting the city, its civic institutions, state and federal holidays, and other public events of community significance. The technology installed in this facility allows programming of near infinite combinations of colors and lighting. Accordingly, special requests for lighting —from either internal or external groups or organizations — will likely emerge; and to ensure consistency in process and application of use of these features, all such requests must be approved by City Administration under the guidance provided herein. PURPOSE This policy is intended to clarify the process and criteria for allowable lighting "shows", balancing the capabilities of the technology with respect and sensitivity to the City as first and foremost a local municipality. BACKGROUND AND DEFINITIONS The term "show" denotes any setting of lights regardless of the duration. A "synchronized show" refers to the tower, where lights can be orchestrated, possibly to music, as described below. The tower features applied to this policy include the following: The tower can be programmed for synchronized light shows through the use of individually programmable LED lights. (All LED lighting has virtually unlimited color settings). The entire facility can be programmed to seemingly infinite combinations of static or animated shows, potentially set to music, if a separate computer/audio system were installed. While there are potentially limitless combinations of shows, it should be noted that the software controlling colors involves hours of staff time to customize and requires trial -and -error observation to confirm operations. Any requests for customization must consider this staff time and expense. The tower is not considered to be used for any music -synchronized shows given its height and its wide dispersion of sound, potentially disrupting the adjacent neighborhoods. RULES FOR LIGHTING SHOWS 1. City themed color of green lights is permitted and assumed to be standard or "default" setting. 2. From time -to -time, the "Tower Programming Committee" described below, will create and recommend new and amended shows for the tower, adding to those already created and those that have been pre -authorized (see below). 3. Internal or external requests for new or amended shows shall only be approved under truly exceptional circumstances, acknowledging that scores of worthy groups have a special color, event, or idea that would be wonderful to display, but would be both burdensome to implement and, more importantly, difficult to control for the purposes of equity and in the preservation of fairness. 4. The Public Works Department is responsible for the care, maintenance, and implementation of tower settings and new/amended programming. Any deviations from existing, approved shows must consider the time and resources necessary for the work. APPROVED SHOWS (Traditional Lighting Days) Appendix A includes approved light shows. This list, which shall be updated from time to time, does not mandate that such shows are displayed, only that they are available to be implemented should direction be provided by the City Administrator or his/her designee. REQUEST SUBMISSION All requests must be received in writing (or online) by full completion of the Tower Lighting Request form (e.g. organization name, address, phone number, email address, contact information, description of event/recognition, specify date, specific color/theme). The request form must be completed and signed by a management representative of the official organization making the request, and submitted to the City at least 30 days in advance of the lighting date requested. REQUEST APPROVAL If you plan to acknowledge the lighting in communications materials, please provide samples for review and approval to croscipioni@cityofeagan.com no later than 14 days prior to the lighting. Failure to do so may result in our inability to grant the request. Approved requests will be granted for a maximum of one night.

Each luminaire is DMX capable which allows them to be managed by a control system. They are equipped with individual LED lamps capable of projecting an almost unlimited number of colors onto the surface of the tower panels and legs. The primary function of the luminaires is to provide light that grazes the surface of each individual 10 -foot tower panel — one 4 -foot luminaire per panel. The tower can be illuminated in a static display of color, or all luminaires can change color at a variable rate using the lighting control system. The same control system can employ preprogrammed lighting schemes to commemorate special events and holidays. Each individual luminaire can change colors at different rates and intensities to provide a very dynamic display of light. The colors of light can appear to smoothly "move" up, down and sideways. Luminaires can be grouped to enable crude shapes to appear on the tower. The system will not have enough granularity to create the appearance of text. The entire lighting system is networked and identifies and locates each luminaire. LumenlDTM is the software/hardware package that provides a direct connection to a PC for quick addressing, diagnostics and demonstration of the luminaires. The software gives the City the ability to change, edit and create new lighting schemes. The software was developed for novice and advanced users and has an intuitive approach that results in a significant reduction in commissioning time and installation costs. DMX/RDMTM is a feature that allows full bi-directional control and communication for easy commissioning. With RDM, the luminaires can communicate important information, such as their address, status, temperature, voltage, energy consumption and predicted lifetime expectancy. They can also be discovered, updated or re -commissioned at any time. RDM simplifies the maintenance of the lighting system by isolating and identifying potential issues and problem devices, therefor enabling the City to implement
