CITY HALL HAS MOVED!
Eagan's new City Hall is open for
business! The Municipal Center,
approved in a bond referendum in
September 1982, was built as a
second story on the Police Depart-
ment building across from the
former City Hall.
The new address of City Hall is
now the same as the Police Depart-
ment's, 3830 Pilot Knob Road.
The City Hall telephone number,
454-8100, has not changed. (The
police emergency number is 911;
the non -emergency number 454-3900)
The Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment has moved to the new facility
and now uses the same address and
telephone number as the other City
Hail offices. Registration for
winter park and rec activities
will be taken at. the new office.
December 1 and 2 were Moving Days
for City offices. Most of the
old hall's furnishings were taken
across the street and will be re-
painted to match the new color
scheme of green, off-white and
teakwood. Some new furnishings
will not arrive until January; the
Open House for the new office is
planned for that month.
The entrance to City Hall offices
is on the east side of the build-
ing; visitors should enter the
parking lot from Wescott Road.
The Police Department entrance
is on the west side, on the lower
floor.
The first City Council meeting
in the new chambers will be held
December 6 at 6:30 p.m.
OLD CITY HALL REMODELING
Work will soon be completed
on the remodeling of the recently
vacated City Hall at 3795
Pilot Knob Road. The building
will house the Fire Administration
Department and the Ambulance
Service. A two -bay garage
has been added to the west
side of the building for the
ambulances. Two bedrooms,
a kitchen and bathroom complete
the paramedics' quarters.
Fire Administration will have
offices in the center section.The
entire project is expected
to be completed by the end
of the year.
The former council chambers
will serve as a community
room. Organizations wishing
to schedule an activity in
the community room should
call the Parks Department
at 454-8100.

Help us to help you! The first
snowfall of Nov. 9 officially ini-
tiated us into the 1983-84 snow
season. With it brings the Public
Works Department's responsibility
to perform its snow removal and ice
control program in the fastest,
most efficient and economical man-
ner possible. This can only be
accomplished through a concerted
effort of the residents and busi-
nessess of our community in abiding
by the following "PARKING BAN":
"SNOW EMERGENCY (City Code, 9.09)
It is unlawful for any person to
park or leave standing any vehicle
on any street after a snowfall of
one inch or more in depth and until
the earlier of: (1) the snow having
been plowed or removed to the curb
line, or (2) thirty-six hours after
it has ceased to fall."
Now is the best time to check your
vehicles to make sure they are win-
terized and prepared for the winter
season as the snow emergency par-
king ban is enforced universally.
This will help to keep the streets
clear so the city can perform its
snow removal operations which are
increasing annually as the city de-
velopment continues at its pace
setting rate.
Since last year, the city has added
five miles of new streets to be
plowed, bringing the total mileage
to 117 miles. These streets are
divided into seven plowing dis-
tricts using five large dump trucks
and two road graders. Ten new cul -
HOLIDAY HOURS
Eagan City offices will observe the
following schedule during the up-
coming holiday season.
Offices will be open the regular
hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except for
Friday, December 23, when the of-
fices will close at noon, and Mon-
day, December 26, and Monday, Jan-
uary 2, when offices will be closed
the entire day.
In case of emergency, the Police
Department is open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
Special Note: The regular Advisory
Planning Commission meeting for the
month will be held on December 13.
de -sacs have been added for a new
total of 236 that are plowed by
five smaller vehicles which can
plow four to five cul-de-sacs per
hour for an average 2"-6 snowfall.
This must all be performed in addi-
tion to thiree fire stations, the
police station, the County Library
and eleven recreational ice skating
facilities. Using every available
maintenance personnel, we hope to
be able to complete all snow re-
moval operations for an "average"
snowfall within 12-14 hours. Any
equipment breakdowns or personnel
shortages will affect this
schedule.
Also, it is not too late to relo-
cate or remove any landscaping
(fences, bushes, etc.) from the
public boulevard (7-13 feet from
the curb line) that might possibly
be damaged by the snow removal
operations. In addition, please
check your mailbox to insure that
it is strong and secure enough to
withstand the weight of a growing
snow bank as the winter progresses.
The city's snow removal operations
are funded through your property
taxes. In 1983, of the portion of
the total property taxes paid to
the city by a house valued at
$B0,000, approximately $3.25 is al-
located to keeping the streets in
your community passable during the
entire winter season. So help us
keep the cost of snow removal to
a minimum by abiding by our snow
emergency parking ban which will
allow us to perform our job faster
I
and safer and eliminate having to
come back to clean up the mess left
by "snow birds" (vehicles that have
to be plowed around).
If you have any questions pertain-
ing to snow removal procedures,
please contact the Superintendent
of Streets at 454-5220. Any ques-
tions pertaining to a vehicle that
has been towed should be directed
to the Police Department at
454-3700.
Snow removal on the following roads
is the responsibility of the Dakota
County Highway Department:
County Road 23 (Nicols Road)
County Road 26 (Lone Oak Road)
County Road 28 (Yankee Doodle)
County Road 30 (Diffley Road)
County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road)
County Road 32 (Cliff Road)
County Road 43 (Lexington Ave.)
County Road 63 (Dodd Road north
of Diffley)
County Road 63A (West of Highway
149)
Any calls pertaining to snow and
ice control on these County roads
should be directed to the Dakota
County Highway Department at
437-0398.
Your patience, understanding and
cooperation will be greatly appre-
ciated by your neighbors and the
personnel who will be putting in
long hours to clear our streets as
fast as possible. Please be as-
sured that we will do everything
possible to perform this operation
in the most efficient manner possi-
ble.
CHRISTMAS TREE SAFETY
During this holiday season, the
Fire Department recommends that
Christmas trees be treated with
a universal fire retardant solu-
tion.
Ingredients:
9 Ounces Borax Powder
1 Gallon Warm Water
4 Ounces Boric Acid
Mix entire contents well and apply
to entire tree in generous quan-
tities. All ingredients may be
purchased at a drug store at a
minimum cost. Total immersion
of the tree is most effective,
otherwise use a hand or electric
sprayer.
Interested residents are encouraged
to apply for positions on the
City's Advisory Planning Commission
and Advisory Park & Recreation Com-
mission.
The Advisory Planning Commission
meets the fourth Tuesday of each
month to review development plans
and make recommendations to the
City Council. Three appointments
will be made to this commission.
The three year terms of Charles
Hall and Dale Turnham are expiring
and the one year alternate posi-
tion, currently held by Garrett
Mulrooney, is also expiring as of
December 31, 1983.
The Advisory Park & Recreation Com-
mission meets the first Thursday
of each month to advise the City
Council regarding park dedication
by developers, purchase of addi-
tinal park land, development of ex-
isting park land and City recrea-
tional programs. Three appointments
are required to fill the expiring
three year terms of Mike Fedde,
Roger Martin and Sandra Masin.
Residents of Eagan who wish to ap-
ply for one of the above positions
should submit a letter expressing
their interest to the City Adminis-
trator before December 30, 1983.
Appointments will be considered at
the 1984 organizational meeting of
the City Council scheduled for
January 17, 1984.
DIRTY CHIMNEYS!
The heating season is here
and many buildings are using
fireplaces and wood stoves
as a supplemental heating
source. Wood fires create creo-
sote, commonly called soot. This
will build up in the chimney and
if not kept clean will cause a
chimney fire. The intense heat
of a chimney fire can easily set
the building on fire.
NO ADDRESS ON YOUR BUILDING!
In an emergency, no address on
your building would delay the Fire
and Police Departments in locating
your exact building. The valuable
time lost would create a greater
amount of damage and much more
inconvenience to the building
tenants.
If you have any questions about
I either of the above hazards,
please call the Department of Pro-
tective Inspections at 454-8100.
The 1983 Eagan Municipal Center
is actually Eagan's fourth City
Hall. When the township was first
organized in 1860, the Town Board
and Clerk met in members' homes
or in the District 14 schoolhouse,
where Northview Elementary School
is now.
In 1892 Eagan was big enough for
its own Town Hall. A plot of land
was bought from Michael Shields
(in the southeast corner of the
present intersection of Lone Oak
and Pilot Knob Roads), and the
new hall was the first used as
a polling place to elect a presi-
dent.
By 1914 Eagan had grown so much
that a new hall was needed. The
Board set aside $500 to purchase
land for it, but an argument broke
out. Two "business centers" in
the City, Nicols and Wescott, both
wanted the new hall. Nicols was
a railroad depot with surrounding
stores near the location of the
present Cedarvale, on the west
side of the City; Wescott was also
a train station and the location
of a school and some business on
the east side. Before the dis-
agreement could be settled, the
old Town Hall was destroyed in
a fire.
At last the Board decided to place
the new building as close as pos-
sible to the exact center of the
township. A plot of land was
bought from Michael Englert, Jr.,
and a hall constructed by A.J.
Ward of Rosemount for $1,047. It
was completed June 16, 1914.
The 1914 Town Hall continued to
serve the City for fifty years.
Equipped with a pot-bellied stove,
rows of plank seats, and later
a couple of file cabinets, it was
the site of Eagan's annual -Town
Meetings, meetings of the Board
of Supervisors and elections.
Many residents still remember
gathering there on winter nights
around the one small stove --every-
body kept their coats on!
The hall was even "immortalized"
by photographer John Szarkowski
in his book The Face of Minnesota,
printed in University of
Minnesota Press), with pictures
of a town meeting held there.
The City Council intends in the
the future to have our vintage
Town Hall, currently used for
storage, restored as it was in
its prime. Anyone with remem-
brances, stories and particularly
pictures of the building or activ-
ities connected with it, is in-
vited to share them by contacting
City Hall at 454-8100.

The City of Eagan, along with 38
other Minnesota cities, participa-
ted in the Neighborhood Statistics
Program during the 1980 census.
The City was divided into 12
"neighborhood" areas and informa-
tion on housing, income and social
characteristics gathered. The Bur-
eau of the Census has returned to
us profiles of each neighborhood
and the City as a whole. The in-
formation is available at City
Hall.
Eagan's annual mean household in-
come ($25,583) was above that of
the metro -area mean ($23,837).
The median housing value in Eagan
was $70,900, compared to $68,910
for the seven -county metropolitan
area.
The median age of residents in 1980
was 26. The population was split
almost evenly between males and fe-
males. About one-third of the
residents were under 15 years old
and less than 3% were 65 or older.
Of the adults 25 years or older,
over 90% were high school graduates
and 23% were college graduates.
Information on transportation, em-
ployment, age and type of housing,
marital status and family organiza-
tion and other characteristics are
included in the profiles.

7. All lights should be checked &
and repaired as needed. Cracked
or broken lenses should be re-
placed and kept clear of snow,
ice, and mud.
8. Emergency equipment should
be stowed in your trunk and kept
ready; booster cables, shovel,
tow chain, warning flares, trac-
tion mats and the type of chains
recommended for your car. Some
late model cars require the new
"limited clearance" chains. Check
with your owner's manual or
dealer.
9. Preparation of an emergency
kit should also become a routine
step in "winterizing" your car.
This kit might include the follow-
ing items: heavy coats or blan-
kets, hats, gloves, matches,
candles, candy bars. It's also
a good idea to keep your gas tank
closer to full than empty.
Last, remember to obey the speed
limits and to remember that these
limits are always maximums --
weather, road, and traffic condi-
tions frequently dictate much
slower speeds, especially during
the wintertime.
If your home is connected to the
City's municipal sewer or water
system and you move either out
of the City or to another resi-
dence within Eagan, please notify
the Utility Billing Department
at 454-8100.
