PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department --Item $1: Private Development Adminis-
trative Fee Schedule -- On January 1, 1983, the City Council ap-
proved a revision to the bonding requirements associated with de-
velopment within the City. The present bonding requirements stipu-
late that a financial guarantee must be placed with the City
guaranteeing at least 608 of the cost of public improvements
(streets & facilities necessary to service the proposed subdivision.
This financial guarantee requirement is the same whether these pub-
lic improvements are installed under City contract (guarantee for
payment of assessments) or installed privately by the developer
(guarantee for completion of installation). Prior to this revision,
public improvements installed privately be developers were required
to place a financial guarantee in the amount of 1258 of the estima-
ted cost of improvements while those that were constructed under
a public contract did not require any financial guarantee to insure
the collection of assessments.
As can be seen, this new revision has made installation of public
improvements more equitable and at the developer's discretion as
to whether it is performed privately or through a City contract.
Subsequently, during 1983, the City noticed that approximately
45-558 of the subdivision improvements were performed privately
by the developers. During 1984, it appears that this percentage
will increase to approximately 60-658 for private installation.
The Public Works Director 'is concerned about the negative impact
that private development has on the City's budget situation. Those
improvements performed under public contract generate 4.08 in
revenue for administrative services rendered by the Engineering,
Maintenance and Special Assessment Divisions for plan review/con-
tract management, assessment searches/spreads and construction/final
inspection, respectively. With the increasing number of develop-
ments installing improvements, this additional revenue is no longer
available to supplement the general fund budget to finance the per-
sonnel within the various divisions of the Public Works Department
which is necessary to insure compliance with City standards. How-
ever, those subdivisions which improvements installed privately
require varying levels of staff review and assistance by the three
divisions. However, there is no revenue generated to offset these
increasing costs as there are with public contracts installed im-
provements.
Therefore, the Public Works Director would like to discuss with
the City Council a new policy whereby those subdivisions that have
public improvements installed privately would be charged an adminis-
trative fee to cover the costs of plans/spec review, construction

review/management, financial bond calculations/review/reductions,
construction/final inspections, etc. Due to the fact that there
are no special assessments associated with private development of
public improvements, the full 4.08 administrative fee would not
be necessary.
Therefore, the Public works Director would like to suggest that
a minimum fee of $1,000 be established to be paid as a condition
of final plat approval and that a sliding scale starting at 1.58
for the first $100,000 and decreasing by 0.18/$100,000 to
$1,000,000.
All costs incurred by outside consultants, inspection services,
etc., are billed directly to the City and forwarded to the developer
• for reimbursement. However, we presently have no means of passing
on similar costs for the increasing time spent by staff personnel.
The Public Works Director would like to discuss this policy in
further detail with the Council so that a formal policy and fee
schedule can be prepared for adoption at the next meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the con-
cept of administrative fee schedule for public improvements instal-
led privately, and, if approved, direct the Public Works Department
to prepare a formal schedule for review by the Council at a later
date.

There are six (6) items on the agenda referred to as the Consent
Agenda requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If the
City Council desires to discuss any of the items in further
detail, those items should be removed from the Consent Agenda
and place under Additional Items unless the discussion required
is brief.
PROJECT 396. FEASIBILITY REPORT
A. Project 396, Receive Feasibility Report/Order Public Hearing
(Westbury Addition - Streets and Utilities) -- On February 7,
1984, the City Council received a petition and subsequently
ordered the preparation of the feasibility report for the installa- •
tion of streets and utilities to service the first phase of
the Westbury Addition in the southwest corner of Wescott and
Lexington Avenue. Concurrently, the Council also ordered the
preparation of detailed plans and specifications due to the
waiver and guarantee of costs by the applicant.
This feasibility report has been completed and is now being
presented to the Council for their consideration of scheduling
a public hearing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the feasibility
report for Project 396 (Westbury Addition - Streets and Utilities)
and order the public hearing to be held at 7:00 p.m. on April
3, 1984.

TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY
D. Tax Forfeit Property, Classification as Non -Conservation
Lands (Dakota County Auditor) -- On December 20, 1983, the
County Board classified the following legal descriptions as
non -conservation lands in preparation for the tax forfeiture
sale that will eventually be held on these properties. They
routinely request the City of Eagan to similarly review these
properties to determine if there is any public need or benefit
associated with this property prior to its placement on the
open market for resale. These properties are described as follows:
1. Parcel #10-02700-012-25, Wilderness Run Fifth Addition
( Page_)
• 2. Parcel #10-02700-012-51, Ches Mar Second Addition (Page 9 )
3. Parcel #10-88800-106-00, Zehnder Acres (Page /0 )
City staff has reviewed the above three parcels and found that
the City would have no interest in any of these parcels with
the exception of Parcel #10-02700-012-51. It would be in the
City's best interest to request that this property be classified
as public conservation land and transferred over to the City
of Eagan as a part of our future well site/Ravine Park development.
As can be seen, this tax forfeited property is a five-foot sliver
of land located between the well site and the west right-of-
way of Ches Mar Drive.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the classifica-
tion of the tax forfeited parcels as follows:
• Parcel #10-02700-012-25 (Non -Conservation)
Parcel #10-02700-012-51 (Conservation/Public Interest)
Parcel #10-88800-106-00 (Non -Conservation)
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related
documents as may be required.

PERSONNEL ITEMS
F. Personnel Items:
1. Resignation of Public Works/Planning Department Secretary
-- The Public Works Director has received a letter of
resignation from Judy Chaffee -Heald who has been the de-
partmental secretary for the Public Works Director and
City Planner since July of 1980. The resignation becomes
effective on the last day of work, March 9, 1984. Due
to the fact that this position is critical to the functions
of the two departments, the Public Works Director is re-
questing that the resignation be accepted and authorization
be given for an immediate replacement in accordance with
• standard City policies and procedures.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To accept the resig-
natin of Judy Chaffee -Heald as Public Works/Planning de-
partmental secretary and authorize advertisement for the
replacement of this position.
2. Authorization to Fill Vacancy of Special Assessment Aide
-- Presently, the Public Works Department shares a clerk/
typist position as a special assessment aide with the
Finance Department as a utility billing clerk aide. This
position is presently filled by Nancy Ohm. The approved
1984 budget increased the 0.5 allocation of this position
to a full time clerk/typist position to continue the as-
sistance for utility billing while adding clerk/typist
assistance to payroll, purchasing and general accounting
• functions. The Public Works Director, City Administrator
and Finance Director have reviewed the situation and deter-
mined that this 1984 full time position could best be ful-
filled by the transferring of Nancy Ohm.
Subsequently, this leaves a 0.5 position vacant for a
special assessment aide to the special assessment division
of the Public Works Department. Therefore, the Public
Works Director is requesting authorization from the City
Council to advertise for a permanent part-time (20-30)
hours/week to fulfill this special assessment aide posi-
tion.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the
advertisement for a permanent part-time special assessment
aide in accordance with present City policies and proce-
dures.

process pertaining to these assessments.
To insure compliance with Minnesota Statutes 429 pertaining
to special assessments, the Council authorized the hiring of
an appraiser to evaluate the benefit to the properties proposed

The City Attorney will advise the Council as to the proper procedure
associated with this public hearing to protect the City's interests
in levying the final assessments associated with this project.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing
and approve/modify/deny the proposed final assessments for Project
305R as presented at the public hearing. If approved, authorize
certification of said amounts to the County Auditor for collection.
MEMO TO: ANN GOERS, SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CLERK
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS q
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984 ���JJJ
SUBJECT: PROJECT 305, WESCOTT ROAD ASSESSMENTS (TRUNK WATER MAIN)
In July of 1983, the original final assessment hearing was held for
this project. Due to objections that were received at that time,
the public hearing was continued until December,20, 1983. At that
time, the City Council formally approved the final assessment roll
as was originally prepared. However, within the required 30 days
of that final assessment hearing, the City received a notice of ap-
peal pertaining to the amount of the assessments.
Subsequently, on February 7, 1984, the City Council cancelled the
final assessments as levied on December 20, 1983 for Project 305
• and ordered a new final assessment hearing to be held on March 6,
1984.
•
In reviewing the original final assessment roll that was prepared
in comparison to the benefits received from the adjacent properties,
it was discovered that the assessments associated with lateral bene-
fit from trunk water main were not properly allocated to the abut-
ting property. Therefore, the following is a new cost allocation
which should be used in preparing a new final assessment roll to be
Presented at the final assessment hearing scheduled for March 6, 1984:

Council Meeting
PROJECT 373 -ALT, CEDARVALE 2ND ADDITION
B. Project 373 -Alt., Cedarvale 2nd Addition (Storm Sewer and
Driveways -- On January 17, the public hearing was held for
Project 373 which discussed various alternates for the elimination
of the service drive to old Trunk Highway 13 (Cedarvale Boulevard)
adjacent to Rax, Perkins, Country Club Market and Minnesota
Federal Savings and Loan. At that meeting, with the various
alternatives being discussed and no clear concensus from the
affected property owners, the staff was directed to review potential
other alternates and to meet with the affected property owners
to try and arrive at an acceptable alternate. On February 10,
the staff held a special meeting with all potentially affected
property owners which resulted in a scaled-down project which
has been reviewed and discussed in a revision to the original
• feasibility report, which is now being forwarded to the Council
designated Project 373 -Alternate. This report is contained
on pages R 3 through -?.5 for the Council's review and reference
during the public hearingwhich was scheduled for March 6.
All notices have been sent to all potentially affected property
owners along with a copy of the feasibility report for their
review and comment. As of this date, the staff has not received
any objections to this revision as presented in this alternate
report.
The Consulting Engineer and Public Works Director will be available
to discuss the details associated with this project during the
public hearing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Close public hearing
and approve/modify/deny Project 373 -Alt. (Cedarvale 1st and
• 2nd Addition - Storm Sewer and Driveways) and, if approved,
authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications.

SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of storm sewer with related
driveway and boulevard improvements within and adjacent to Cedarvale 2nd Addi-
tion. This report is the result of various meetings with the affected proper-
ty owners to review the proposed improvement project presented at the public
hearing on January 17, 1984 and to determine the extent of improvements neces-
sary to meet the needs of each business and the City of Eagan. Therefore,
this report, Project No. 373 -Alternate, presents an improvement project which
best addresses the needs of each business and the City. Estimated costs and a
preliminary assessment roll are included at the back of this report.
CHANCES TO ORIGINAL FEASIBILITY REPORT:
• It is proposed as part of this alternate report that the private service
drive located westerly of Country Club Market remain as a private service
drive and be maintained by the adjacent property owners. It is also proposed
to maintain the private service drive between Mister Donut and Home Juice Co.
No storm sewer laterals will be constructed under this report to service
the parking lots of Country Club Market (Parcel 6050-04) or Cedarvale Lanes
(Lot 1, Block 1 Cedarvale 2nd Addition).
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project is feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with the Master Utility and Street Plan for
• the City of Eagan. The project as outlined herein can best be carried out as
one contract.
DISCUSSION:
A. Storm Sewer, - Storm sewer proposed herein includes storm sewer within the
existing drainage ditch along the south side of Cedarvale Boulevard as previ-
ously recommended. However, it is proposed at this time to extend the storm
sewer westerly to the existing culverts at Rahn Road and easterly to the ex-
isting culvert beneath the driveway entrance to Home Juice Co.
Page 1.
9402b
as
Catch basin inlet structures are required for each of the private drives
onto Cedarvale Boulevard. Also included is a short extension of storm sewer
to the private drive located between Rax Restaurant and Country Club Market.
B. Driveway and Boulevard - Driveway and boulevard improvements are separated
into two parts. Part I provides for improvements to Rax and Perkins Restau-
rant, and Minnesota Federal. These improvements include removal of the pri-
vate service drive and extending each drive to Cedarvale Boulevard as shown on
the attached drawing. Grading of the boulevard area and sodding is required
due to removal of the existing service drive and construction of storm sewer.
It is also proposed to construct an 1-1/2" thick bituminous overlay on the ex- •
isting service drive located southerly of Minnesota Federal which will remain
in service and become their main entrance.
Part II provides for boulevard improvements for Country Club due to storm
sewer construction. Also included is construction of concrete curb and gutter
and bituminous mixture for patching adjacent to the new catch basin inlet
structure located at the northerly end of the private service drive between
Rax Restaurant and Country Club Market.

PERRY KIEFFER/COMMERCIAL STORAGE
A. Perry Kieffer for a Conditional Use Permit for Commercial
Storage Facilities in an Agricultural Zoning District -- This
item appeared on the February 21 City Council agenda, however,
due to the absence of Mr. Kieffer at the meeting, consideration
of the Planning Commission recommendation and further discussion
of Mr. Kieffer's application was continued until the March 6
meeting. Mr. Kieffer has a responsible position with the local
Shriners and due to their activities with the circus and other
related functions, it will not be possible for him to be in
attendance at a City Council meeting until April 3, 1984. There-
fore, it is recommended that this item be continued until the
April 3, 1984, City Council meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To continue the conditional
use permit application for commercial storage facilities as
requested by Mr. Kieffer until the April 3, 1984, City Council
meeting.

PRELIMINARY PLAT/SUNSET 5TH ADDITION
A. Joseph Hoffman for a Preliminary Plat, Sunset 5th Addition,
Containing 1 Acre and Platted into Two Single -Family Lots --
A public hearing was held at the January 24 Advisory Planning
Commission meeting to consider an application for a preliminary
plat submitted by Joseph Hoffman to plat the Sunset 5th Addition
containing 1 acre into two single-family lots. The item was
continued from the January meeting to the February 28 APC meeting
for the purpose of requiring additional information regarding
access to the property from the west. The City staff did contact
the applicant and work with Mr. Jim Curry who has sold the property
immediately north of Sunset 5th Addition for a future church
site. It was the staff's understanding that there is a 60 -foot
road easement on this particular property and that once the
area develops, the road easement will be platted for public
access. The Advisory Planning Commission is recommending approval
of the preliminary plat to the City Council. For additional
information on this item, refer to the City Planner's report;
a copy is enclosed on pages 3g through .4,5 . For a copy
of the minutes of the Advisory Planning Commission meeting;
refer to the Administrative Agenda on Monday.

The preliminary plat meets all of the criteria set forth in Section
11 and 13 of the State Code for lot size requirements in an R-1 Dis-
trict. The proposed plat is small and each of the lots within the
plat would contain 21,840 square feet. The applicant was not aware
of what the exact right-of-way dedication should be for Dodd Road,
and even including the dedication, the two lots proposed would far
exceed the R-1 zoning standards.
In review of this plat, normally there should be a concern in regard
to direct access on a proposed collector road. However, in review
of this particular plat, the lots directly south in Saddlehorn Addi-
tion all take direct access onto Dodd Road. Therefore, restricting
this particular plat from taking direct access wouldn't be consistent
with what has happened in the past along Dodd Road.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 16, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 5TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development to be con-
sidered by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development poses no problems with future drainage or
grading due to its location and size.
• UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient depth, capacity and size exist within Dodd
Road to provide individual services to each lot. However, the neces-
sary permits for connection and roadway excavation must be acquired.
STREETS
Existing streets providing potential access to this proposed develop-
ment consist of Dodd Road which borders this proposed development
along the east side. Dodd Road is a planned City collector street
but exists as a residential street in width in the interim. Subse-
quently, it is City policy that access to City collector streets be
limited to provide traffic capacity and safety required for the col-
lector street designation. Subsequently, staff would recommend again-
st allowing access along Dodd Road as proposed. Access could better
• be suited off of an internal east -west street which could border the
north boundary of this proposed development. Not only would this be
more desirable for this proposed development but would also open up
better access to Parcels 021-26 and 022-26. As it stands now, Parcel
021-26 would be extremely difficult to develop and provide access to
the easterly portion of it. Therefore, staff would.recommend the ow-
ner of this property to submit a sketch of proposed uses for this de
velopment so that a logical plan could be followed in developing this
corner, southwest of County Road 30 and Dodd Road.
However, if this preliminary plat is approved, staff would recommend
that only one access be allowed on Dodd Road and be centered over this
parcel. Also, it should be a requirement that turnarounds be provid-
ed for each lot so that the vehicles do not have to back out to gain
access to Dodd Road.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
If this preliminary plat is approved, then a 40' half right-of-way
shall be dedicated for Dodd Road. This is the minimum half
us]
ENGINEERING REPORT
SUNSET 5TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
JANUARY 16, 1984
PAGE TWO
right-of-way required for City collector streets.
In addition, a 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to
all publicly dedicated right-of-way along with a 5' drainage and util-
ity easement being dedicated along all lot lines.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied over this parcel (012-
26) with the exception of trunk area storm sewer. Subsequently, this
area shall be responsible for its trunk area storm sewer assessment
at the rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. At this,
time, it would amount to $2,276.00 (42,218 square feet X $0.0539 per
square foot).
All costs for servicing each lot with sewer and water and driveway •
construction shall be the sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission -at their meeting on January 24, 1984.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard M. He ti, P.E.

The City Administrator has received a letter from Minnesota
Teamsters Public and Law Enforcement Employees Union Local #320
regarding Public Works Maintenance employees affirming a settlement
based on a 4�% increase for 1984 and 58 for 1985. An offer
had been made by the City for 4�% in 1984 and 4h$ in 1985 with
the maximum guideline that the City would increase the offer
to 58 for 1985 if the Public Works Maintenance group agreed
on a two-year contract. The union has accepted the counter
offer regarding all. 22 items as presented by the City Administrator
in a letter dated January 30, 1984. The only exception being
Item 17 where the salary was increased for 1985 consistent with
• guidelines set forth by the City Council. Therefore, action
is in order to ratify a two-year contract with the Public Works
Maintenance group under the conditions specified in the attached
correspondence found on pages 4_through ,SI
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny final

The City Council has again met and discussed your most recent
counter proposal and is in a position to offer a new response
to the Public works/Parks Maintenance employees' contract demands.
We have met on several occasions and hopefully this proposal
will represent a settlement that both your collective bargaining
unit and the City Council can approve for 1984/1985 contract
duration.
The following discussion represents the City's offer to each
of the 21 demands that were presented in a letter dated November
10, 1983, from your office:
1) The City is recommending a two (2) year contract that
would be retroactive to January 1, 1984, and continued
through December 31, 1985.
2) The changes you have recommended under Article 3.5, "It
will be the duty of the supervisor in each department
to establish safety regulations, instruct workers in
accident prevention, and provide safety" meetings for
employees on a regular basis" is acceptable to the City.
3) The changes recommended in Article 12.1 are not acceptable
as new contract language. However, the City has maintained
a policy that if maintenance workers are called out prior
to 7:00 a.m. on a given workday, they are allowed to
work until 3:30 which normally amounts to overtime for
the employee. The management wishes to retain flexability
regarding this item.
4) The City is not agreeable to the change in Article 12.1
to pay shift differential. Each Public Works/Parks Main-
tenance employee understood with their acceptance into
public employment that night call -outs are required to
THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
CITY OF EAGAN/MR JACK MOGELSON
January 30, 1984
Page 2
maintain a desirable public service.
5) The City is not in agreement with amending Article 12.8.
6) The City does not agree with the change in Article 12.9
adding compensatory time.
7) The City is not in agreement with Article 12.9 regarding
the request for double time for weekends and triple time
for major holidays when overtime occurs.
8) The City is not agreeable to eliminating "but not necessarily
equal" as requested as an amendment for Article 12.10.
9) There is no change desired for Article 13.1 by the City.
10,11
& 12) The City recognizes the need for a policy that allows career
movement within the three maintenance divisions, which
include Utilities, Streets and Parks and Recreation mainte-
nance. It is not in the best interest for the City to allow
movement at will within the departments without some type
of employee commitment to train for a different maintenance
division. Therefore, the City accepts a policy whereby
an employee who can verify that he or she has prepared
independently to learn skills of a particular maintenance
division, may qualify for a transfer to that division based
on 1) meeting all minimum qualifications, 2) obtaining
licenses or skills required within a specified time frame,
3) seniority with Public Works/Parks/Maintenance divisions,
4) acceptance of the next lowest pay classification for
one (1) year upon transfer to a new division, and 5) a one-
year probation will be imposed for any employee who transfers
to a new division. It is the City's contention that if
an employee wishes to change his or her career ambitions
by transferring to a new division, a reduction in pay for
one year should not impact their long-term career objectives
and at the same time that employee should learn the new
maintenance division well enough within the year that they
could be considered at the normal rate of pay provided by
the City at the end of the one-year probation.
13) The City proposes a change to Article 13.4 to be consistant
with the City's personnel policy. (See attached)
14) The City is agreeable to. the change recommended in Article
13.5 which deletes "regarding classification".

15) The City is not agreeable to the additional holidays as
requested in Article 14.1.
16) The City is not agreeable to the vacation change as outlined
in Article 15.2.
17) The City has increased its offer in salaries to a 4.58
increase in 1984 retroactive to January 1 and a 4.58 increase
for 1985.
18) The City has recognized a deficiency in the clothing allow-
ance and is therefore increasing its clothing allowance
from $94.95 to $150.00 per year which would remain in effect
during 1984 and 1985. The use of this clothing allowance
will be consistent with a compliance policy drafted by
• management and agreed to by the union steward.
19) The City is not in agreement with the changes in Article
17.3 as recommended.
20) The City is not in agreement with an increase in life insur-
ance as outlined'in 17.3.
21) The City is not in agreement with the changes recommended
in Article 17.4.
22) The City would agree to a written addendum to the contract
that allows City employees who also are volunteer firemen
in the City of Eagan to respond to fire calls during working
hours without loss of pay.
I would be happy to discuss any of these points in further detail
• with you at any time. I will be looking forward to a response
from you at your earliest convenient date.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS
CONTRACT 84-2/WESCOTT TRUNK SANITARY SEWER
A. Contract 84-2, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Wescott Trunk
Sanitary Sewer) -- At 9:30 a.m. on Friday, March 2, formal bids
were received for the above -referenced contract. Enclosed on
page is a bid tabulation of all bids submitted with a
comparison to the feasibility report and engineer's estimate.
All easements necessary for the construction of this work have
been acquired through a "quick take" condemnation action under
the direction of our City Attorney. Therefore, there are no
problems associated with awarding the contract at this time.
As can be seen, we have requested bids for three alternates
• associated with this construction as follows:
Alternate No. 1:
Alternate No. 2:
We requested bids for a polyvinyl chloride
pipe (PVC) as compared to the standard reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) to determine if any cost
savings would be incurred through the use
of this special design material for this size
of pipe through the anticipated depth zones.
The standard base bid for the contract provides
for an aggregate base access road to the lift
station from the future Denmark Avenue through
City park property. This alternate requests
the costs associated with paving this access
road with a bituminous surface to provide an
all-weather access road with minimal maintenance
and erosion.
• Alternate .No. 3: This requests an alternate bid to install the
"grass paver" concrete patio block that would
allow grass growth but still provide instability
for equipment over the access road to the same
lift station. This is similar to the material
that was installed to the Almquist Lake lift
station recently.
Public Works Director and Consulting Engineer will be evaluating
the bids and any possible alternate equipment bids that were
submitted and will be providing a final recommendation to the
Council at the meeting on Tuesday, March 6.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the bids for
Contract 84-2 (Wescott Trunk Sanitary Sewer) and award the contract
to the lowest responsible bidder, and authorize the mayor and
City Clerk to execute all related documents.
SPECIAL NOTE: The bid tabulation will be enclosed with the packet
on Monday.

CONTRACT 84-4/YANKEE DOODLE RESERVOIR REPAINTING
B. Contract 84-4, Approve Plans/Authorize Advertisement for
Bids (Yankee Doodle Reservoir Repainting) -- At the February

report for Project 394 pertaining to the exterior repainting
of the Yankee Doodle 5.0 M.G. water reservoir and subsequently
authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications.
These plans have now been completed and are being presented
to the Council for their review and subsequent authorization
to advertise for bids under Contract 84-4.
As was discussed previously, these plans incorporate an alternate
bid for the exterior painting of "EAGAN" at three locations
on this reservoir so that the Council can consider its inclusion
• at the time of contract award based on bids received.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/modify/deny
the plans for Contract 84-4 and, if approved, authorize an adver-

CONTRACT 84-5/FIRE ADMINISTRATION BLDG. -PARKING LOT
C. Contract 84-5, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Fire Administration
Building - Parking Lot) -- At 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March
1, official bids were received pertaining to the improvement
of the parking lot to the new Fire Administration building (old
city hall) as a part of the overall Municipal Center Bond Referendum
project. Enclosed on page S6 is the bid tabulation showing
the results of this bid opening. This project contained two
alternates described as follows:
Alternate No. 1:
Alternate No. 2:
Alternate No. 1 requested bids for the installa-
tion of a concrete driveway for the first
30 ft. coming out of the new garage addition.
Staff wanted to evaluate the cost benefit
of this alternative through actual bid prices
due to the heavier pieces of the equipment
that will be used in this sloped access drive
(fire engines, medical emergency vehicles,
etc.).
Alternate No. 2 requested a deduct bid if
City maintenance crews were to install the
aggregate base prior to the surface paving.
This was done to try and evaluate any potential
cost savings to the overall project that could
be accomplished through the use of City forces.
The Public Works Director will be evaluating the bids for the
contract and the various alternates and will be making a final
recommendation to the Council at the meeting on Tuesday, March
6.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Receive the bids for •
Contract 84-5 (Fire Administration Building - Parking Lot),

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: MARCH 2, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
MINNESOTA JOCKEY CLUB APPLICATION
As you are all aware, five (5) applications were received by
the Minnesota Horse Racing Commission yesterday, of which the
Lone Oak application was one of those submitted. The applicant
has given the City seven (7) copies of a portfolio that summarizes
the Lone Oak site. Included in your packet is your copy of
the portfolio. The City Administrator will retain one copy
in his office while the other copy will be at the front counter
for review by the public. The City Administrator received the
City of Eagan's copy of the application for the Lone Oak site
• from the Minnesota Racing Commission today. The application
is similar to the three -volume proposal that was submitted by
Group W Cable when they submitted their application to the Joint
Commission. Included in the application are two large volumes
that include application and exhibits, and then a third and
fourth volume that includes all the bond information, and a
fifth volume which is a copy of the environmental impact statement.
Also enclosed is a copy of the portfolio that each member of
the City Council's received. There is one complete set of the
applications which will be kept in the office of the City Adminis-
trator and are certainly open for public inspection at any time.
Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 8, when the environ-
mental impact public hearing will be held in the Eagan City
Council chambers at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Blomquist will open the
meeting and act as a facilitator for questions, answers, etc.
City staff, in conjunction with consultants for the applicant,
will field the questions as they are raised by the public.
The other date of significance is Tuesday, March 13, the date
the Minnesota Racing Commission has selected to hold the public
hearing in the City of Eagan. Unfortunately it does conflict
with the evening activities at the legislative session sponsored
by the League of Minnesota Cities, however, the date is fixed
and cannot be changed by the Minnesota Racing Commission. At
that meeting, it is my understanding that the Minnesota Racing
Commission will conduct the public hearing and, again, the City
Council's participation will be more as observers. Enclosed
for your reference is a copy of the letter that the City Administra-
tor received from the Minnesota Racing Commission, a letter
from Jim Curry Investment Companies to the Racing Commission
members, and a resolution that was passed by our neighboring
city, Inver Grove Heights, supporting the Eagan horse racing
facility. These documents are enclosed on pages _A3 through
The City Administrator and Steve Pflaum have had a lengthy discus-
sion and it is apparent that the development agreement should
ME

be completed before the racing commission holds its all -day
review of the applications on March 12. Therefore, the City
Administrator will have to work next week in meetings with the
attorneys, BRW, and applicant to finalize the development agreement
for either adoption by the City Council on March 6 or possibly
the special City Council meeting prior to the EIS hearing on
March 8. The first meeting is set for Monday at BRW's office.
It is very important that the development agreement be exercised
before the March 12 date.
SPERRY NOISE UPDATE
Benchmarks for noise monitoring were established at the pump
house and Don Giblin's house for the before and after noise
monitoring by MPCA. Both noise monitorings before installation
of equipment have been completed --the first on February 23 and •
the last on February 29. According to Sperry, the equipment
will be installed within the next two weeks and hopefully noise
monitoring can be performed before the April 3 City Council
meeting. Since the City Administrator has received copies of
correspondence regarding this matter, it seemed appropriate
to keep the City Council updated and, therefore, copies of corres-
pondence are enclosed on pages 6 j through for your information.
NAMING OF PARK LANDS
Enclosed on pages -7(a through -7-7 is a copy of a letter that
was sent to theDirector of Par—fid Recreation regarding the
naming of park lands as reviewed by the City Council. Parks
and Recreation Advisory Commission was scheduled to take action
on March 1 regarding the recommendations by the City Council.

Re: Applications for Metropolitan Area
Racetrack License
Today the Minnesota Racing Commission received five applications for a
license to own and operate a horse racing facility within the seven -county
metropolitan area. One of the applications proposes to locate the racetrack
within your city's limits. I am herewith providing you with a copy of that
particular application and pursuant to Minn. Stat. 4240.06, subd. 2 (Supp. 1983)
requesting that you provide the Racing Commission with your City Council's
comments, if any, on that proposal.
Official comments should be submitted in writing and filed with the Commission's
office at the above address by noon Friday, March 23, 1984. A single copy
will be adequate for our purposes.
If you have any questions relative, to this matter please feel free to call

C. Elmer Anderson
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Minnesota Racing Commission:
I write this letter to recommend that you choose Eagan as the
Horse Race Track location.
I have owned property and done business in Eagan since 1969. •
At the peak of my real estate activities in Eagan, I owned 2,000
acres. I developed almost 1,000 lots for housing and today my
owned land holdings have been reduced, by sales and development, to
a few hundred acres.
With this kind of activity, I have worked with the city staff,
elected officials and citizens groups such as the Chamber of Commerce
and the Council for Urban Mobility.
I must -confess I am an absolute admirer of everything that
makes up Eagan. I have never seen a better run city. (Note: I
have done business in Edina when my partner and I built Pentagon
Office Park.) Eagan has an outstanding staff and dedicated, talented
people on their City Council, Planning Commission, Park Board etc.
EagaL has lots of spirit and enthusiasm for the horse racing facility.
Just as important, Eagan has an excellent tax base so they have •
been able to afford to do things right. The industrial park in
north Eagan has made it possible, I believe, for Eagan to have one
of the lowest tax rates in the seven county metro area for many years.
Service from the city has always been excellent.
Today Eagan is booming) It is the fastest growing area in the
metro area. The Cedar Avenue and 494 bridges are performing their
functions beautifully. Eagan is now home for about 29,000 people, I
believe, and some 25,000 work in Eagan) Long before the year 2000,
there will be 50,000 people living in Eagan and probably as many working
there. ' .

Why? Because it has THE perfect location. Uniquely, it is near
both St. Paul and Minneapolis. If a race track can succeed in Minnesota,
Eagan is the place where the chance for success is greatest, I believe.
I'also know the people behind the Eagan race track. They are
local. They are highly respected'and highly successful businessmen.
I have total trust in them. Frankly, I'm really thrilled that local
people are behind the Eagan site.
This has been a long letter and I appreciate your reading it.
I feel strongly about this and I hope you choose Eagan! Good luckl

A,

Re: Sperry Semiconductor Factory
Gentlemen:
• 1 am the current President of the Timberline Civic Association, an
association of over 100 families living in the City of Eagan whose homes
are dose to the Sperry Semiconductor Operations factory. In this
capacity, 1 am requesting your , agency's assistance in reviewing the
concerns of my neighbors and `I; with respect to the potential for ground
water and air pollution caused by Sperry's operations. Accordingly, 1 am
writing this letter to formally request, on behalf of the concerned citizens
living nearto this plant, that as a part of its review in determining the
propriety of issuing an operating'permitthat Sperry's manufacturing
procedures and manufacturing facilities be carefully reviewed and that
such an operating permit only be granted upon a dear finding that its
factory cannot and will not create a health hazard.
1 am sure you are as aware as we are of the havoc reeked upon the
environment in the San Francisco Peninsula area (Silicon Valley) by
• Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel Corporation and in Pheonix by
Motorola. In case you may have missed it, 1 am enclosing a copy of an
article which appeared in the July 25, 1983 issue of Time Magazine. This
is the same industry that Sperry has brought to our back doors.
The reason why I believe it is necessary for the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency to become involved is that:
1. Sperry cannot be trusted to police itself; and
2. The Eagan building inspectors charged with the
responsibility at the local level have neither the expertise
nor the instrumentation to monitor and evaluate Sperry's
manufacturing operations as far as measuring possible
harmful chemical emissions in the air, in the ground water
or through the sewer systems.
69
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
February 16, 1984
Page Two
Fabrication of semiconductor chips involves the use of a variety of highly
toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. The semiconductor processes used by
the manufacturers in Silicon Valley resulted in significant escapes of
these chemicals into the environment. Sperry is known to be using
manufacturing processes originally developed by Fairchild. We are
concerned that any such escapes at the Sperry Plant might go unreported
and uncorrected. Mere verbal assurances by a Sperry facilities planner
that his company's procedures are safe are not enough. After all, the
Titanic was unsinkable. Then too,.Sperry's reluctance to address its noise
pollution problem when an expenditure of only $5,000 - $6,000 is involved
is indicative of a mindset that would place a higher priority on company
profits than on environmental concerns.
It is also evident to us that the City of Eagan does not have on its staff •
persons with the knowledge and experience in this high-tech area which
are required to detect and appropriately deal with the hazards to the
environment occasioned by unintentional spills, leaks or other mishaps or
the intentional failure to properly install and maintain the air/water
filtering and purifying equipment.
The residents in the Timberline area feel that it was extremely poor
planning to locate an industrial plant for the production of integrated
circuits on a high volume basis only a few hundred feet from a residential
neighborhood and that the City officials were remiss in not following the
zoning restrictions which were put in place to protect our neighborhood
when it granted its building permits to Sperry.
For all of the foregoing reasons, we feel it is essential that the Minnesota
Pollution Agency step in and review the overall operations of the Sperry
Plant so that the Timberline residents and other citizens of Eagan drawing •
their water from the nearby wells can be sure that this area remains a
safe place to live and to raise children.

Dear Mr. Nikolai:
Your recent letter clearly stressed the concern of our
Timberline neighbors about Sperry's follow through on its
commitment to reduce noise levels emanating from our Semi-
conductor Headquarters Building. I can assure you that I
have personally reviewed both the complaints and the internal
engineering effort.
Sperry committed in October to install an attenuator
on the stack which generated the higher noise levels and to
install deflectors on all six of the stacks. This project
has progressed through planning, engineering design, compet-
itive bidding, long lead material contracting, and contractor
contracting. The actual construction will start shortly,
dependent on the weather. We are making a sincere effort
to meet the nineteen week schedule and will meet or beat
our March 31st commitment.
As previously stated, Sperry is investing over $30,000
in specific noise abatement measures. We are doing this
because Sperry is concerned about its relationship with
its neighbors and the local community. The noise contro-
versy, which has developed, is particularly difficult
because of the complexity of measuring and of controlling
a phenomenon which has many sources. I am convinced that
the project, now in its final phases, will resolve the
noise issue. I appreciate your patience and I am sure you
will be pleased with the result.

• Dear Mr. Gustin:
This is to acknowledge your letter dated Februlary 16, 1984,
concerning the Sperry semiconductor factory in Eagan, and to
respond to your concerns regarding air pollution.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff examined
information about the equipment for the recent plant expansion
and the associated air emissions.
Eagan ns of acidsbanair
caustics from the Sperry
pollution control equipment. Based on the information available
to the r4PCA, air emissions from the plant do not create a health
hazard. At such time as an operating permit is prepared for this
again whether any air emissions

create a health hazard and whether further testing and/or more
effective control is needed.
. The article which you enclosed from Time Magazine does indeed
report environmental damage and threat to groundwater pollution
from spills and leaks from semiconductor plants. It is my

Dear Mr. Turcotte:
Thank you for the courtesy of your reply of February 23,
to my earlier letter to you. Unfortunately, your letter
not address many of the points I was attempting to raise,
namely:
1. why did Sperry, in September, provide
a report to the City Council indicating
decibel levels below the MPCA Standards
when it must have known that such data
was inaccurate? (Ilhave been advised
that when going out for bids, it
advised prospective bidders that noise
levels of 104 dB existed at the roof
and that the noisellevels were 63-65 dB
300 meters from the building.)
2. why was it unilatelally decided that
it was unnecessarylto equip each of
the six stacks on the roof with an
attenuator? (Sperry first advised
the City that eachlstack would have
an attenuator and a diverter.)
3. Why was the 19 -week lead-time estimate
not met, even though the scope of the
project was reduced when Sperry decided
that only one attenuator would need to
be procured and installed? (The 19 -week
estimate was givenlon October 16, 1963
and the period should have ended February 24,
but on February 7, Mr. Michaud requested
and obtained a six week extension from
the City when Sperry had only placed an
order for the hardware only two working
days earlier.)

I would appreciate knowing how the $30,000 expenditure alluded
to in your letter breaks down. We have it from a reliable
source that the purchase price of the one attenuator being
procured from the Joy Fan Company is $1600 and that the six
diverters is a routine sheet metal.job and should go for about
$500 each. This would total $4600. If the balance of $25,400
represents internal costs to plan, design and contract for
the $4600 hardware, something must be very wrong within
your Plant Engineering and Procurement Operations or, with the
accounting system.
Also, if by your representation that the project costed $30,000,
you are trying to impress the Timberline residents or the
• Eagan City officials with the size of the commitment, I would
suggest that the amount pales in comparison to the cumulative
damages which Sperry has subjected the residents to in terms
of decreased property values, the time which has been spent
and costs incurred in trying to get Sperry to do what is right
in this matter and the emotional strain and irritation on the
residents caused by Sperry's continued and protracted violations
of the applicable R & D zoning which is supposed to be
controlling. The $30,000 is also small in comparison to
Sperry's lost "good will" in the neighborhood. A great
mistrust has been generated by the game -playing that has been
going on since last summer and this will surely adversely
impact the relationship between your company and the
neighborhood over the years to come.
Vey truly yours,:

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984
SUBJECT: NAMING OF PARK LANDS/CITY OF,EAGAN
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, 14 parks
were renamed in accordance with the recommendation for renaming
the parks as set forth by the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission. Those parks include: Oak Chase Park, Thomas Lake
Park, Carnelian Park, Cinnamon Park, Country Home Park, O'Leary
Park, Fish Lake Park, Berry Patch Park, Pilot Knob Park, Ridgecliff
Park, Walnut Hill Park, Wescott Station Park, Woodhaven Park,
and Meadowland Park. The City Council excluded from their official
authorization of park names six (6) other park lands and are
suggesting to the Parks and Recreation Commission alternative
names for those parks. The following lists the park land names
as recommended by the Advisory Commission, immediately followed
by a new name as a suggestion from the City Council:
1) Downing Athletic Fields
2) Stonecutter's Park
3) Robber's Ravine Park
4) Barley Corn Park
5) Logger's Trail
6) Trapp Farm Park
Northview Athletic Fields
Quarry Park
Ravine Park
Moonshine Park
Highline Trail
*
(* There was no recommendation, however, the City Council felt
there might be family tension if Schwanz, Trapp, or some other
family name is used for this property. If a family name is
to be used, it should clearly be the name of the family who
either originally settled the property or has had ownership
to the property longer than any other family.)
The City Council appreciates the work the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission has put into the renaming of the park
land and was especially excited about the creativity in using
unique names. The main reason for changing two of the park
land names back to the original, Northview and Highline, is
due to the community -wide name recognition of those two parks,
much the same as Carnelian Park. The reason for changing Robber's
Ravine Park was basically a feeling that the word, "Robber's",
might not provide a good connotation throughout the community
and, furthermore, the name is quite lengthy. The reason for
changing Barley Corn to Moonshine is one of identification.
The City Council concluded that a majority of people using the
park might not associate Barley Corn with the making of alcohol,
whereas, Moonshine more clearly defines historical significance
of an activity that once occurred in that park.

The minutes that were drafted by the Assistant City Attorney
at the February 7 City Council meeting are in error and will
be corrected at the next City Council meeting. The City Council
is suggesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission re-examine
the naming of the six (6) parklands that were not changed by
official action of the City Council. Please make that correction
to the Parks & Recreation Commission members at your next regular
meeting.

ion Report and Complain
Both reports for November and December were given by Jeff Hamiel. Mr. Hamiel
discussed the operation of the Permanent Monitoring System and its inability
to count aircraft accurately. The system does monitor the run-up pad reliably,
as it was originally intended to do.
B. Report of the AD HOC Handbook Committee.
Mr. Hamiel said that the proposed handbook would be used as educational
material for new and present members, and as reference material for people
in the community around MAC's airports. The handbook would be comprised of
a series of informational pamphlets incorporated into a loose-leaf binder.
Specific pamphlets could then be pulled out for resource material on particular
subjects. MAC has contacted consultants to aid in writing of these reports
and MASAC will be updated after the new Noise Abatement Manager arrives in
February.
5• Report: Noise Abatement Plan Update to the Minnesota State Legislature.
Copies of the document were distributed to the membership and there will be
discussion at the February meeting after everyone has the opportunity to study
the plan. It is broken down into three sections: 1) 1983 Impacts, 2) Next
Year's Objectives, and 3) Long Term Goals.
6. Persons Wishing to Address the Council.
Don Witz addressed the Council regarding what he considers to be a 10% use of
the 1800 heading off runway 4/22. He also discussed aircraft take -offs during
the quiet time of 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Mrs. Olive Witz commented on the
front page newspaper article on January 20 regarding future plans of the MAC,
including possible lengthening of runway 4/22. Jim Serrin moved, and Ron Glaub
seconded, a motion that the 1,000 foot threshold at the northeast end of /22
be used for take -off and landing. This motion will be referred to the Operations
ttee for recommendation.
7. Report of MASAC Representative to MAC Meeting of January 16, 1984.
Jeff Hamiel reported that in December there was a crash of a small aircraft on
approach to the Crystal Airport. There were no fatalities. He also said that
the Resolution presented by MASAC regarding the addition of equipment to the
Permanent Monitoring System was approved by MAC Staff. Mr. Hamiel is working
with the provider of the system (Tracor, Inc.) and the consulting engineers
(Wylie Labs) to investigate ways to make this system count aircraft accurately.
Further discussion at the MAC meeting included the 1983 Report to the Legislature;
the Capital Improvement Program for 1984-85, and Capital Improvement Plan for
1986-1990, which will be a 74 million dollar improvement program. Martin Kirsch
moved to send the Capital Improvement Drooram to the Operations and Executive

Dear Mr. Gegax:
The application and instructions for a variance from the water
closet room for each sex is enclosed. This is for the variance
from City Code #4.01, USC 1982 Edition, Section 705. That section
requires a separate facility for each sex if the facilities will
be used by more than four people.
You indicated that T.B.A. had remodeled to a one toilet facility
in Brooklyn Center. My investigation revealed that the original
place of business in Brooklyn Center had only one toilet while
your Eagan facility originally had two.
Please forward your application to City Planner, Dale Runkle,
for processing.

THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: MARCH 1, 1984
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT POLICY` - DAMAGED
BOULEVARD RESTORATION
As you may be aware, during the first initial snowplowing opera-
tions performed by the Public Works Maintenance Division, there
are several locations where boulevard sod was damaged due to
the fact that the ground had not yet frozen and the snowplow
blade damaged a portion of frontyard areas due to the fact that
it is very difficult to define the curb alignment for heavy
accumulation first snow falls without previous snow banks to
guide the way.
Subsequently, the Public Works Maintenance Division receives
a considerable number of phone calls notifying us of the damage
situation as it occurs. Once the Maintenance Division receives •
this information, we make a list for repair the following spring. ,
The Public Works Department has the following policy as it pertains '
to the restoration of these damaged areas:
SOD REPLACEMENT: Those areas of lawns/boulevards that were
damaged by the snowplow that can readily be repaired/restored
through new sod installation will be performed by the Public '
Works crews as soon as sod becomes available from suppliers.
Past experience indicates that, dependent upon wet/dry spring .
conditions, the average date that sod becomes available is approxi-
mately May 15.
SEEDING: Those areas that are too small to be effectively repaired/
restored with standard -width strips of sod are performed by
placing high-quality topsoil and seed. This seed restoration
can occur as soon as the last freeze has occurred which his- •
torically has been approximately May 1.
Subsequently, we anticipate beginning this boulevard/lawn restora-
tion approximately May 1 and anticipate that it will take approxi-
mately one month to restore and repair all damaged areas within
the City that occurred from the previous snow removal season.
In the past, we have had good success and acceptance with this
policy and procedure. If you receive any questions, comments,
or complaints pertaining to boulevard damage and required restora-
tion, I would appreciate it if you would forward it directly
to Public Works Maintenance Division so that it can be incorporated
in their list of repairs.
Please feel free to share this with other individuals that you
feel may benefit by this information.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department --Item $1: Private Development Adminis-
trative Fee Schedule -- On January 1, 1983, the City Council ap-
proved a revision to the bonding requirements associated with de-
velopment within the City. The present bonding requirements stipu-
late that a financial guarantee must be placed with the City
guaranteeing at least 608 of the cost of public improvements
(streets & facilities necessary to service the proposed subdivision.
This financial guarantee requirement is the same whether these pub-
lic improvements are installed under City contract (guarantee for
payment of assessments) or installed privately by the developer
(guarantee for completion of installation). Prior to this revision,
public improvements installed privately be developers were required
to place a financial guarantee in the amount of 1258 of the estima-
ted cost of improvements while those that were constructed under
a public contract did not require any financial guarantee to insure
the collection of assessments.
As can be seen, this new revision has made installation of public
improvements more equitable and at the developer's discretion as
to whether it is performed privately or through a City contract.
Subsequently, during 1983, the City noticed that approximately
45-558 of the subdivision improvements were performed privately
by the developers. During 1984, it appears that this percentage
will increase to approximately 60-658 for private installation.
The Public Works Director 'is concerned about the negative impact
that private development has on the City's budget situation. Those
improvements performed under public contract generate 4.08 in
revenue for administrative services rendered by the Engineering,
Maintenance and Special Assessment Divisions for plan review/con-
tract management, assessment searches/spreads and construction/final
inspection, respectively. With the increasing number of develop-
ments installing improvements, this additional revenue is no longer
available to supplement the general fund budget to finance the per-
sonnel within the various divisions of the Public Works Department
which is necessary to insure compliance with City standards. How-
ever, those subdivisions which improvements installed privately
require varying levels of staff review and assistance by the three
divisions. However, there is no revenue generated to offset these
increasing costs as there are with public contracts installed im-
provements.
Therefore, the Public Works Director would like to discuss with
the City Council a new policy whereby those subdivisions that have
public improvements installed privately would be charged an adminis-
trative fee to cover the costs of plans/spec review, construction

review/management, financial bond calculations/review/reductions,
construction/final inspections, etc. Due to the fact that there
are no special assessments associated with private development of
public improvements, the full 4.08 administrative fee would not
be necessary.
Therefore, the Public works Director would like to suggest that
a minimum fee of $1,000 be established to be paid as a condition
of final plat approval and that a sliding scale starting at 1.58
for the first $100,000 and decreasing by 0.18/$100,000 to
$1,000,000.
All costs incurred by outside consultants, inspection services,
etc., are billed directly to the City and forwarded to the developer
• for reimbursement. However, we presently have no means of passing
on similar costs for the increasing time spent by staff personnel.
The Public Works Director would like to discuss this policy in
further detail with the Council so that a formal policy and fee
schedule can be prepared for adoption at the next meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the con-
cept of administrative fee schedule for public improvements instal-
led privately, and, if approved, direct the Public Works Department
to prepare a formal schedule for review by the Council at a later
date.

Lands (Dakota County Auditor) -- On December 20, 1983, the
County Board classified the following legal descriptions as
non -conservation lands in preparation for the tax forfeiture
sale that will eventually be held on these properties. They
routinely request the City of Eagan to similarly review these
properties to determine if there is any public need or benefit
associated with this property prior to its placement on the
open market for resale. These properties are described as follows:
1. Parcel #10-02700-012-25, Wilderness Run Fifth Addition
( Page_)
• 2. Parcel #10-02700-012-51, Ches Mar Second Addition (Page 9 )
3. Parcel #10-88800-106-00, Zehnder Acres (Page /0 )
City staff has reviewed the above three parcels and found that
the City would have no interest in any of these parcels with
the exception of Parcel #10-02700-012-51. It would be in the
City's best interest to request that this property be classified
as public conservation land and transferred over to the City
of Eagan as a part of our future well site/Ravine Park development.
As can be seen, this tax forfeited property is a five-foot sliver
of land located between the well site and the west right-of-
way of Ches Mar Drive.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the classifica-
tion of the tax forfeited parcels as follows:
• Parcel #10-02700-012-25 (Non -Conservation)
Parcel #10-02700-012-51 (Conservation/Public Interest)
Parcel #10-88800-106-00 (Non -Conservation)
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related
documents as may be required.

PERSONNEL ITEMS
F. Personnel Items:
1. Resignation of Public Works/Planning Department Secretary
-- The Public Works Director has received a letter of
resignation from Judy Chaffee -Heald who has been the de-
partmental secretary for the Public Works Director and
City Planner since July of 1980. The resignation becomes
effective on the last day of work, March 9, 1984. Due
to the fact that this position is critical to the functions
of the two departments, the Public Works Director is re-
questing that the resignation be accepted and authorization
be given for an immediate replacement in accordance with
• standard City policies and procedures.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To accept the resig-
natin of Judy Chaffee -Heald as Public Works/Planning de-
partmental secretary and authorize advertisement for the
replacement of this position.
2. Authorization to Fill Vacancy of Special Assessment Aide
-- Presently, the Public Works Department shares a clerk/
typist position as a special assessment aide with the
Finance Department as a utility billing clerk aide. This
position is presently filled by Nancy Ohm. The approved
1984 budget increased the 0.5 allocation of this position
to a full time clerk/typist position to continue the as-
sistance for utility billing while adding clerk/typist
assistance to payroll, purchasing and general accounting
• functions. The Public Works Director, City Administrator
and Finance Director have reviewed the situation and deter-
mined that this 1984 full time position could best be ful-
filled by the transferring of Nancy Ohm.
Subsequently, this leaves a 0.5 position vacant for a
special assessment aide to the special assessment division
of the Public Works Department. Therefore, the Public
Works Director is requesting authorization from the City
Council to advertise for a permanent part-time (20-30)
hours/week to fulfill this special assessment aide posi-
tion.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the
advertisement for a permanent part-time special assessment
aide in accordance with present City policies and proce-
dures.

MEMO TO: ANN GOERS, SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CLERK
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS q
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984 ���JJJ
SUBJECT: PROJECT 305, WESCOTT ROAD ASSESSMENTS (TRUNK WATER MAIN)
In July of 1983, the original final assessment hearing was held for
this project. Due to objections that were received at that time,
the public hearing was continued until December,20, 1983. At that
time, the City Council formally approved the final assessment roll
as was originally prepared. However, within the required 30 days
of that final assessment hearing, the City received a notice of ap-
peal pertaining to the amount of the assessments.
Subsequently, on February 7, 1984, the City Council cancelled the
final assessments as levied on December 20, 1983 for Project 305
• and ordered a new final assessment hearing to be held on March 6,
1984.
•
In reviewing the original final assessment roll that was prepared
in comparison to the benefits received from the adjacent properties,
it was discovered that the assessments associated with lateral bene-
fit from trunk water main were not properly allocated to the abut-
ting property. Therefore, the following is a new cost allocation
which should be used in preparing a new final assessment roll to be
Presented at the final assessment hearing scheduled for March 6, 1984:

PROJECT 373 -ALT, CEDARVALE 2ND ADDITION
B. Project 373 -Alt., Cedarvale 2nd Addition (Storm Sewer and
Driveways -- On January 17, the public hearing was held for
Project 373 which discussed various alternates for the elimination
of the service drive to old Trunk Highway 13 (Cedarvale Boulevard)
adjacent to Rax, Perkins, Country Club Market and Minnesota
Federal Savings and Loan. At that meeting, with the various
alternatives being discussed and no clear concensus from the
affected property owners, the staff was directed to review potential
other alternates and to meet with the affected property owners
to try and arrive at an acceptable alternate. On February 10,
the staff held a special meeting with all potentially affected
property owners which resulted in a scaled-down project which
has been reviewed and discussed in a revision to the original
• feasibility report, which is now being forwarded to the Council
designated Project 373 -Alternate. This report is contained
on pages R 3 through -?.5 for the Council's review and reference
during the public hearingwhich was scheduled for March 6.
All notices have been sent to all potentially affected property
owners along with a copy of the feasibility report for their
review and comment. As of this date, the staff has not received
any objections to this revision as presented in this alternate
report.
The Consulting Engineer and Public Works Director will be available
to discuss the details associated with this project during the
public hearing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Close public hearing
and approve/modify/deny Project 373 -Alt. (Cedarvale 1st and
• 2nd Addition - Storm Sewer and Driveways) and, if approved,
authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications.

SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of storm sewer with related
driveway and boulevard improvements within and adjacent to Cedarvale 2nd Addi-
tion. This report is the result of various meetings with the affected proper-
ty owners to review the proposed improvement project presented at the public
hearing on January 17, 1984 and to determine the extent of improvements neces-
sary to meet the needs of each business and the City of Eagan. Therefore,
this report, Project No. 373 -Alternate, presents an improvement project which
best addresses the needs of each business and the City. Estimated costs and a
preliminary assessment roll are included at the back of this report.
CHANCES TO ORIGINAL FEASIBILITY REPORT:
• It is proposed as part of this alternate report that the private service
drive located westerly of Country Club Market remain as a private service
drive and be maintained by the adjacent property owners. It is also proposed
to maintain the private service drive between Mister Donut and Home Juice Co.
No storm sewer laterals will be constructed under this report to service
the parking lots of Country Club Market (Parcel 6050-04) or Cedarvale Lanes
(Lot 1, Block 1 Cedarvale 2nd Addition).
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project is feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with the Master Utility and Street Plan for
• the City of Eagan. The project as outlined herein can best be carried out as
one contract.
DISCUSSION:
A. Storm Sewer, - Storm sewer proposed herein includes storm sewer within the
existing drainage ditch along the south side of Cedarvale Boulevard as previ-
ously recommended. However, it is proposed at this time to extend the storm
sewer westerly to the existing culverts at Rahn Road and easterly to the ex-
isting culvert beneath the driveway entrance to Home Juice Co.
Page 1.
9402b
as
Catch basin inlet structures are required for each of the private drives
onto Cedarvale Boulevard. Also included is a short extension of storm sewer
to the private drive located between Rax Restaurant and Country Club Market.
B. Driveway and Boulevard - Driveway and boulevard improvements are separated
into two parts. Part I provides for improvements to Rax and Perkins Restau-
rant, and Minnesota Federal. These improvements include removal of the pri-
vate service drive and extending each drive to Cedarvale Boulevard as shown on
the attached drawing. Grading of the boulevard area and sodding is required
due to removal of the existing service drive and construction of storm sewer.
It is also proposed to construct an 1-1/2" thick bituminous overlay on the ex- •
isting service drive located southerly of Minnesota Federal which will remain
in service and become their main entrance.
Part II provides for boulevard improvements for Country Club due to storm
sewer construction. Also included is construction of concrete curb and gutter
and bituminous mixture for patching adjacent to the new catch basin inlet
structure located at the northerly end of the private service drive between
Rax Restaurant and Country Club Market.

PERRY KIEFFER/COMMERCIAL STORAGE
A. Perry Kieffer for a Conditional Use Permit for Commercial
Storage Facilities in an Agricultural Zoning District -- This
item appeared on the February 21 City Council agenda, however,
due to the absence of Mr. Kieffer at the meeting, consideration
of the Planning Commission recommendation and further discussion
of Mr. Kieffer's application was continued until the March 6
meeting. Mr. Kieffer has a responsible position with the local
Shriners and due to their activities with the circus and other
related functions, it will not be possible for him to be in
attendance at a City Council meeting until April 3, 1984. There-
fore, it is recommended that this item be continued until the
April 3, 1984, City Council meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To continue the conditional
use permit application for commercial storage facilities as
requested by Mr. Kieffer until the April 3, 1984, City Council
meeting.

PRELIMINARY PLAT/SUNSET 5TH ADDITION
A. Joseph Hoffman for a Preliminary Plat, Sunset 5th Addition,
Containing 1 Acre and Platted into Two Single -Family Lots --
A public hearing was held at the January 24 Advisory Planning
Commission meeting to consider an application for a preliminary
plat submitted by Joseph Hoffman to plat the Sunset 5th Addition
containing 1 acre into two single-family lots. The item was
continued from the January meeting to the February 28 APC meeting
for the purpose of requiring additional information regarding
access to the property from the west. The City staff did contact
the applicant and work with Mr. Jim Curry who has sold the property
immediately north of Sunset 5th Addition for a future church
site. It was the staff's understanding that there is a 60 -foot
road easement on this particular property and that once the
area develops, the road easement will be platted for public
access. The Advisory Planning Commission is recommending approval
of the preliminary plat to the City Council. For additional
information on this item, refer to the City Planner's report;
a copy is enclosed on pages 3g through .4,5 . For a copy
of the minutes of the Advisory Planning Commission meeting;
refer to the Administrative Agenda on Monday.

APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting

of the NE% of the NA of Section 25 lying south of County Road (Diff -

would be within the 0-3 dwelling units
The preliminary plat meets all of the criteria set forth in Section
11 and 13 of the State Code for lot size requirements in an R-1 Dis-
trict. The proposed plat is small and each of the lots within the
plat would contain 21,840 square feet. The applicant was not aware
of what the exact right-of-way dedication should be for Dodd Road,
and even including the dedication, the two lots proposed would far
exceed the R-1 zoning standards.
In review of this plat, normally there should be a concern in regard
to direct access on a proposed collector road. However, in review
of this particular plat, the lots directly south in Saddlehorn Addi-
tion all take direct access onto Dodd Road. Therefore, restricting
this particular plat from taking direct access wouldn't be consistent
with what has happened in the past along Dodd Road.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 16, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 5TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development to be con-
sidered by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development poses no problems with future drainage or
grading due to its location and size.
• UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient depth, capacity and size exist within Dodd
Road to provide individual services to each lot. However, the neces-
sary permits for connection and roadway excavation must be acquired.
STREETS
Existing streets providing potential access to this proposed develop-
ment consist of Dodd Road which borders this proposed development
along the east side. Dodd Road is a planned City collector street
but exists as a residential street in width in the interim. Subse-
quently, it is City policy that access to City collector streets be
limited to provide traffic capacity and safety required for the col-
lector street designation. Subsequently, staff would recommend again-
st allowing access along Dodd Road as proposed. Access could better
• be suited off of an internal east -west street which could border the
north boundary of this proposed development. Not only would this be
more desirable for this proposed development but would also open up
better access to Parcels 021-26 and 022-26. As it stands now, Parcel
021-26 would be extremely difficult to develop and provide access to
the easterly portion of it. Therefore, staff would.recommend the ow-
ner of this property to submit a sketch of proposed uses for this de
velopment so that a logical plan could be followed in developing this
corner, southwest of County Road 30 and Dodd Road.
However, if this preliminary plat is approved, staff would recommend
that only one access be allowed on Dodd Road and be centered over this
parcel. Also, it should be a requirement that turnarounds be provid-
ed for each lot so that the vehicles do not have to back out to gain
access to Dodd Road.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
If this preliminary plat is approved, then a 40' half right-of-way
shall be dedicated for Dodd Road. This is the minimum half
us]
ENGINEERING REPORT
SUNSET 5TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
JANUARY 16, 1984
PAGE TWO
right-of-way required for City collector streets.
In addition, a 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to
all publicly dedicated right-of-way along with a 5' drainage and util-
ity easement being dedicated along all lot lines.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied over this parcel (012-
26) with the exception of trunk area storm sewer. Subsequently, this
area shall be responsible for its trunk area storm sewer assessment
at the rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. At this,
time, it would amount to $2,276.00 (42,218 square feet X $0.0539 per
square foot).
All costs for servicing each lot with sewer and water and driveway •
construction shall be the sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission -at their meeting on January 24, 1984.

CONTRACT RATIFICATION/PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE
C. Ratification of Local 320 Contract, Public Works Maintenance -
The City Administrator has received a letter from Minnesota
Teamsters Public and Law Enforcement Employees Union Local #320
regarding Public Works Maintenance employees affirming a settlement
based on a 4�% increase for 1984 and 58 for 1985. An offer
had been made by the City for 4�% in 1984 and 4h$ in 1985 with
the maximum guideline that the City would increase the offer
to 58 for 1985 if the Public Works Maintenance group agreed
on a two-year contract. The union has accepted the counter
offer regarding all. 22 items as presented by the City Administrator
in a letter dated January 30, 1984. The only exception being
Item 17 where the salary was increased for 1985 consistent with
• guidelines set forth by the City Council. Therefore, action
is in order to ratify a two-year contract with the Public Works
Maintenance group under the conditions specified in the attached
correspondence found on pages 4_through ,SI
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny final
ratification of the Public works and Park Maintenance Division

The City Council has again met and discussed your most recent
counter proposal and is in a position to offer a new response
to the Public works/Parks Maintenance employees' contract demands.
We have met on several occasions and hopefully this proposal
will represent a settlement that both your collective bargaining
unit and the City Council can approve for 1984/1985 contract
duration.
The following discussion represents the City's offer to each
of the 21 demands that were presented in a letter dated November
10, 1983, from your office:
1) The City is recommending a two (2) year contract that
would be retroactive to January 1, 1984, and continued
through December 31, 1985.
2) The changes you have recommended under Article 3.5, "It
will be the duty of the supervisor in each department
to establish safety regulations, instruct workers in
accident prevention, and provide safety" meetings for
employees on a regular basis" is acceptable to the City.
3) The changes recommended in Article 12.1 are not acceptable
as new contract language. However, the City has maintained
a policy that if maintenance workers are called out prior
to 7:00 a.m. on a given workday, they are allowed to
work until 3:30 which normally amounts to overtime for
the employee. The management wishes to retain flexability
regarding this item.
4) The City is not agreeable to the change in Article 12.1
to pay shift differential. Each Public Works/Parks Main-
tenance employee understood with their acceptance into
public employment that night call -outs are required to
THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
CITY OF EAGAN/MR JACK MOGELSON
January 30, 1984
Page 2
maintain a desirable public service.
5) The City is not in agreement with amending Article 12.8.
6) The City does not agree with the change in Article 12.9
adding compensatory time.
7) The City is not in agreement with Article 12.9 regarding
the request for double time for weekends and triple time
for major holidays when overtime occurs.
8) The City is not agreeable to eliminating "but not necessarily
equal" as requested as an amendment for Article 12.10.
9) There is no change desired for Article 13.1 by the City.
10,11
& 12) The City recognizes the need for a policy that allows career
movement within the three maintenance divisions, which
include Utilities, Streets and Parks and Recreation mainte-
nance. It is not in the best interest for the City to allow
movement at will within the departments without some type
of employee commitment to train for a different maintenance
division. Therefore, the City accepts a policy whereby
an employee who can verify that he or she has prepared
independently to learn skills of a particular maintenance
division, may qualify for a transfer to that division based
on 1) meeting all minimum qualifications, 2) obtaining
licenses or skills required within a specified time frame,
3) seniority with Public Works/Parks/Maintenance divisions,
4) acceptance of the next lowest pay classification for
one (1) year upon transfer to a new division, and 5) a one-
year probation will be imposed for any employee who transfers
to a new division. It is the City's contention that if
an employee wishes to change his or her career ambitions
by transferring to a new division, a reduction in pay for
one year should not impact their long-term career objectives
and at the same time that employee should learn the new
maintenance division well enough within the year that they
could be considered at the normal rate of pay provided by
the City at the end of the one-year probation.
13) The City proposes a change to Article 13.4 to be consistant
with the City's personnel policy. (See attached)
14) The City is agreeable to. the change recommended in Article
13.5 which deletes "regarding classification".

15) The City is not agreeable to the additional holidays as
requested in Article 14.1.
16) The City is not agreeable to the vacation change as outlined
in Article 15.2.
17) The City has increased its offer in salaries to a 4.58
increase in 1984 retroactive to January 1 and a 4.58 increase
for 1985.
18) The City has recognized a deficiency in the clothing allow-
ance and is therefore increasing its clothing allowance
from $94.95 to $150.00 per year which would remain in effect
during 1984 and 1985. The use of this clothing allowance
will be consistent with a compliance policy drafted by
• management and agreed to by the union steward.
19) The City is not in agreement with the changes in Article
17.3 as recommended.
20) The City is not in agreement with an increase in life insur-
ance as outlined'in 17.3.
21) The City is not in agreement with the changes recommended
in Article 17.4.
22) The City would agree to a written addendum to the contract
that allows City employees who also are volunteer firemen
in the City of Eagan to respond to fire calls during working
hours without loss of pay.
I would be happy to discuss any of these points in further detail
• with you at any time. I will be looking forward to a response
from you at your earliest convenient date.

Thomas L. Hedges

ADDITIONAL ITEMS
CONTRACT 84-2/WESCOTT TRUNK SANITARY SEWER
A. Contract 84-2, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Wescott Trunk
Sanitary Sewer) -- At 9:30 a.m. on Friday, March 2, formal bids
were received for the above -referenced contract. Enclosed on
page is a bid tabulation of all bids submitted with a
comparison to the feasibility report and engineer's estimate.
All easements necessary for the construction of this work have
been acquired through a "quick take" condemnation action under
the direction of our City Attorney. Therefore, there are no
problems associated with awarding the contract at this time.
As can be seen, we have requested bids for three alternates
• associated with this construction as follows:
Alternate No. 1:
Alternate No. 2:
We requested bids for a polyvinyl chloride
pipe (PVC) as compared to the standard reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) to determine if any cost
savings would be incurred through the use
of this special design material for this size
of pipe through the anticipated depth zones.
The standard base bid for the contract provides
for an aggregate base access road to the lift
station from the future Denmark Avenue through
City park property. This alternate requests
the costs associated with paving this access
road with a bituminous surface to provide an
all-weather access road with minimal maintenance
and erosion.
• Alternate .No. 3: This requests an alternate bid to install the
"grass paver" concrete patio block that would
allow grass growth but still provide instability
for equipment over the access road to the same
lift station. This is similar to the material
that was installed to the Almquist Lake lift
station recently.
Public Works Director and Consulting Engineer will be evaluating
the bids and any possible alternate equipment bids that were
submitted and will be providing a final recommendation to the
Council at the meeting on Tuesday, March 6.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the bids for
Contract 84-2 (Wescott Trunk Sanitary Sewer) and award the contract
to the lowest responsible bidder, and authorize the mayor and
City Clerk to execute all related documents.
SPECIAL NOTE: The bid tabulation will be enclosed with the packet
on Monday.

CONTRACT 84-4/YANKEE DOODLE RESERVOIR REPAINTING
B. Contract 84-4, Approve Plans/Authorize Advertisement for
Bids (Yankee Doodle Reservoir Repainting) -- At the February
21 Council meeting, the City Council received the feasibility
report for Project 394 pertaining to the exterior repainting
of the Yankee Doodle 5.0 M.G. water reservoir and subsequently
authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications.
These plans have now been completed and are being presented
to the Council for their review and subsequent authorization
to advertise for bids under Contract 84-4.
As was discussed previously, these plans incorporate an alternate
bid for the exterior painting of "EAGAN" at three locations
on this reservoir so that the Council can consider its inclusion
• at the time of contract award based on bids received.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/modify/deny

CONTRACT 84-5/FIRE ADMINISTRATION BLDG. -PARKING LOT
C. Contract 84-5, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Fire Administration
Building - Parking Lot) -- At 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March
1, official bids were received pertaining to the improvement
of the parking lot to the new Fire Administration building (old
city hall) as a part of the overall Municipal Center Bond Referendum
project. Enclosed on page S6 is the bid tabulation showing
the results of this bid opening. This project contained two
alternates described as follows:
Alternate No. 1:
Alternate No. 2:
Alternate No. 1 requested bids for the installa-
tion of a concrete driveway for the first
30 ft. coming out of the new garage addition.
Staff wanted to evaluate the cost benefit
of this alternative through actual bid prices
due to the heavier pieces of the equipment
that will be used in this sloped access drive
(fire engines, medical emergency vehicles,
etc.).
Alternate No. 2 requested a deduct bid if
City maintenance crews were to install the
aggregate base prior to the surface paving.
This was done to try and evaluate any potential
cost savings to the overall project that could
be accomplished through the use of City forces.
The Public Works Director will be evaluating the bids for the
contract and the various alternates and will be making a final
recommendation to the Council at the meeting on Tuesday, March
6.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Receive the bids for •
Contract 84-5 (Fire Administration Building - Parking Lot),
award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder and authorize

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: MARCH 2, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
MINNESOTA JOCKEY CLUB APPLICATION
As you are all aware, five (5) applications were received by
the Minnesota Horse Racing Commission yesterday, of which the
Lone Oak application was one of those submitted. The applicant
has given the City seven (7) copies of a portfolio that summarizes
the Lone Oak site. Included in your packet is your copy of
the portfolio. The City Administrator will retain one copy
in his office while the other copy will be at the front counter
for review by the public. The City Administrator received the
City of Eagan's copy of the application for the Lone Oak site
• from the Minnesota Racing Commission today. The application
is similar to the three -volume proposal that was submitted by
Group W Cable when they submitted their application to the Joint
Commission. Included in the application are two large volumes
that include application and exhibits, and then a third and
fourth volume that includes all the bond information, and a
fifth volume which is a copy of the environmental impact statement.
Also enclosed is a copy of the portfolio that each member of
the City Council's received. There is one complete set of the
applications which will be kept in the office of the City Adminis-
trator and are certainly open for public inspection at any time.
Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 8, when the environ-
mental impact public hearing will be held in the Eagan City
Council chambers at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Blomquist will open the
meeting and act as a facilitator for questions, answers, etc.
City staff, in conjunction with consultants for the applicant,
will field the questions as they are raised by the public.
The other date of significance is Tuesday, March 13, the date
the Minnesota Racing Commission has selected to hold the public
hearing in the City of Eagan. Unfortunately it does conflict
with the evening activities at the legislative session sponsored
by the League of Minnesota Cities, however, the date is fixed
and cannot be changed by the Minnesota Racing Commission. At
that meeting, it is my understanding that the Minnesota Racing
Commission will conduct the public hearing and, again, the City
Council's participation will be more as observers. Enclosed
for your reference is a copy of the letter that the City Administra-
tor received from the Minnesota Racing Commission, a letter
from Jim Curry Investment Companies to the Racing Commission
members, and a resolution that was passed by our neighboring
city, Inver Grove Heights, supporting the Eagan horse racing
facility. These documents are enclosed on pages _A3 through
The City Administrator and Steve Pflaum have had a lengthy discus-
sion and it is apparent that the development agreement should
ME
INFORMATIVE MEMO

be completed before the racing commission holds its all -day
review of the applications on March 12. Therefore, the City
Administrator will have to work next week in meetings with the
attorneys, BRW, and applicant to finalize the development agreement
for either adoption by the City Council on March 6 or possibly
the special City Council meeting prior to the EIS hearing on
March 8. The first meeting is set for Monday at BRW's office.
It is very important that the development agreement be exercised
before the March 12 date.
SPERRY NOISE UPDATE
Benchmarks for noise monitoring were established at the pump
house and Don Giblin's house for the before and after noise
monitoring by MPCA. Both noise monitorings before installation
of equipment have been completed --the first on February 23 and •
the last on February 29. According to Sperry, the equipment
will be installed within the next two weeks and hopefully noise
monitoring can be performed before the April 3 City Council
meeting. Since the City Administrator has received copies of
correspondence regarding this matter, it seemed appropriate
to keep the City Council updated and, therefore, copies of corres-
pondence are enclosed on pages 6 j through for your information.
NAMING OF PARK LANDS
Enclosed on pages -7(a through -7-7 is a copy of a letter that
was sent to theDirector of Par—fid Recreation regarding the
naming of park lands as reviewed by the City Council. Parks
and Recreation Advisory Commission was scheduled to take action
on March 1 regarding the recommendations by the City Council.

C. Elmer Anderson
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Minnesota Racing Commission:
I write this letter to recommend that you choose Eagan as the
Horse Race Track location.
I have owned property and done business in Eagan since 1969. •
At the peak of my real estate activities in Eagan, I owned 2,000
acres. I developed almost 1,000 lots for housing and today my
owned land holdings have been reduced, by sales and development, to
a few hundred acres.
With this kind of activity, I have worked with the city staff,
elected officials and citizens groups such as the Chamber of Commerce
and the Council for Urban Mobility.
I must -confess I am an absolute admirer of everything that
makes up Eagan. I have never seen a better run city. (Note: I
have done business in Edina when my partner and I built Pentagon
Office Park.) Eagan has an outstanding staff and dedicated, talented
people on their City Council, Planning Commission, Park Board etc.
EagaL has lots of spirit and enthusiasm for the horse racing facility.
Just as important, Eagan has an excellent tax base so they have •
been able to afford to do things right. The industrial park in
north Eagan has made it possible, I believe, for Eagan to have one
of the lowest tax rates in the seven county metro area for many years.
Service from the city has always been excellent.
Today Eagan is booming) It is the fastest growing area in the
metro area. The Cedar Avenue and 494 bridges are performing their
functions beautifully. Eagan is now home for about 29,000 people, I
believe, and some 25,000 work in Eagan) Long before the year 2000,
there will be 50,000 people living in Eagan and probably as many working
there. ' .

Why? Because it has THE perfect location. Uniquely, it is near
both St. Paul and Minneapolis. If a race track can succeed in Minnesota,
Eagan is the place where the chance for success is greatest, I believe.
I'also know the people behind the Eagan race track. They are
local. They are highly respected'and highly successful businessmen.
I have total trust in them. Frankly, I'm really thrilled that local
people are behind the Eagan site.
This has been a long letter and I appreciate your reading it.
I feel strongly about this and I hope you choose Eagan! Good luckl

Re: Sperry Semiconductor Factory
Gentlemen:
• 1 am the current President of the Timberline Civic Association, an
association of over 100 families living in the City of Eagan whose homes
are dose to the Sperry Semiconductor Operations factory. In this
capacity, 1 am requesting your , agency's assistance in reviewing the
concerns of my neighbors and `I; with respect to the potential for ground
water and air pollution caused by Sperry's operations. Accordingly, 1 am
writing this letter to formally request, on behalf of the concerned citizens
living nearto this plant, that as a part of its review in determining the
propriety of issuing an operating'permitthat Sperry's manufacturing
procedures and manufacturing facilities be carefully reviewed and that
such an operating permit only be granted upon a dear finding that its
factory cannot and will not create a health hazard.
1 am sure you are as aware as we are of the havoc reeked upon the
environment in the San Francisco Peninsula area (Silicon Valley) by
• Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel Corporation and in Pheonix by
Motorola. In case you may have missed it, 1 am enclosing a copy of an
article which appeared in the July 25, 1983 issue of Time Magazine. This
is the same industry that Sperry has brought to our back doors.
The reason why I believe it is necessary for the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency to become involved is that:
1. Sperry cannot be trusted to police itself; and
2. The Eagan building inspectors charged with the
responsibility at the local level have neither the expertise
nor the instrumentation to monitor and evaluate Sperry's
manufacturing operations as far as measuring possible
harmful chemical emissions in the air, in the ground water
or through the sewer systems.
69
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
February 16, 1984
Page Two
Fabrication of semiconductor chips involves the use of a variety of highly
toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. The semiconductor processes used by
the manufacturers in Silicon Valley resulted in significant escapes of
these chemicals into the environment. Sperry is known to be using
manufacturing processes originally developed by Fairchild. We are
concerned that any such escapes at the Sperry Plant might go unreported
and uncorrected. Mere verbal assurances by a Sperry facilities planner
that his company's procedures are safe are not enough. After all, the
Titanic was unsinkable. Then too,.Sperry's reluctance to address its noise
pollution problem when an expenditure of only $5,000 - $6,000 is involved
is indicative of a mindset that would place a higher priority on company
profits than on environmental concerns.
It is also evident to us that the City of Eagan does not have on its staff •
persons with the knowledge and experience in this high-tech area which
are required to detect and appropriately deal with the hazards to the
environment occasioned by unintentional spills, leaks or other mishaps or
the intentional failure to properly install and maintain the air/water
filtering and purifying equipment.
The residents in the Timberline area feel that it was extremely poor
planning to locate an industrial plant for the production of integrated
circuits on a high volume basis only a few hundred feet from a residential
neighborhood and that the City officials were remiss in not following the
zoning restrictions which were put in place to protect our neighborhood
when it granted its building permits to Sperry.
For all of the foregoing reasons, we feel it is essential that the Minnesota
Pollution Agency step in and review the overall operations of the Sperry
Plant so that the Timberline residents and other citizens of Eagan drawing •
their water from the nearby wells can be sure that this area remains a
safe place to live and to raise children.

Dear Mr. Nikolai:
Your recent letter clearly stressed the concern of our
Timberline neighbors about Sperry's follow through on its
commitment to reduce noise levels emanating from our Semi-
conductor Headquarters Building. I can assure you that I
have personally reviewed both the complaints and the internal
engineering effort.
Sperry committed in October to install an attenuator
on the stack which generated the higher noise levels and to
install deflectors on all six of the stacks. This project
has progressed through planning, engineering design, compet-
itive bidding, long lead material contracting, and contractor
contracting. The actual construction will start shortly,
dependent on the weather. We are making a sincere effort
to meet the nineteen week schedule and will meet or beat
our March 31st commitment.
As previously stated, Sperry is investing over $30,000
in specific noise abatement measures. We are doing this
because Sperry is concerned about its relationship with
its neighbors and the local community. The noise contro-
versy, which has developed, is particularly difficult
because of the complexity of measuring and of controlling
a phenomenon which has many sources. I am convinced that
the project, now in its final phases, will resolve the
noise issue. I appreciate your patience and I am sure you
will be pleased with the result.

Dear Mr. Turcotte:
Thank you for the courtesy of your reply of February 23,
to my earlier letter to you. Unfortunately, your letter
not address many of the points I was attempting to raise,
namely:
1. why did Sperry, in September, provide
a report to the City Council indicating
decibel levels below the MPCA Standards
when it must have known that such data
was inaccurate? (Ilhave been advised
that when going out for bids, it
advised prospective bidders that noise
levels of 104 dB existed at the roof
and that the noisellevels were 63-65 dB
300 meters from the building.)
2. why was it unilatelally decided that
it was unnecessarylto equip each of
the six stacks on the roof with an
attenuator? (Sperry first advised
the City that eachlstack would have
an attenuator and a diverter.)
3. Why was the 19 -week lead-time estimate
not met, even though the scope of the
project was reduced when Sperry decided
that only one attenuator would need to
be procured and installed? (The 19 -week
estimate was givenlon October 16, 1963
and the period should have ended February 24,
but on February 7, Mr. Michaud requested
and obtained a six week extension from
the City when Sperry had only placed an
order for the hardware only two working
days earlier.)

I would appreciate knowing how the $30,000 expenditure alluded
to in your letter breaks down. We have it from a reliable
source that the purchase price of the one attenuator being
procured from the Joy Fan Company is $1600 and that the six
diverters is a routine sheet metal.job and should go for about
$500 each. This would total $4600. If the balance of $25,400
represents internal costs to plan, design and contract for
the $4600 hardware, something must be very wrong within
your Plant Engineering and Procurement Operations or, with the
accounting system.
Also, if by your representation that the project costed $30,000,
you are trying to impress the Timberline residents or the
• Eagan City officials with the size of the commitment, I would
suggest that the amount pales in comparison to the cumulative
damages which Sperry has subjected the residents to in terms
of decreased property values, the time which has been spent
and costs incurred in trying to get Sperry to do what is right
in this matter and the emotional strain and irritation on the
residents caused by Sperry's continued and protracted violations
of the applicable R & D zoning which is supposed to be
controlling. The $30,000 is also small in comparison to
Sperry's lost "good will" in the neighborhood. A great
mistrust has been generated by the game -playing that has been
going on since last summer and this will surely adversely
impact the relationship between your company and the
neighborhood over the years to come.

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984
SUBJECT: NAMING OF PARK LANDS/CITY OF,EAGAN
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, 14 parks
were renamed in accordance with the recommendation for renaming
the parks as set forth by the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission. Those parks include: Oak Chase Park, Thomas Lake
Park, Carnelian Park, Cinnamon Park, Country Home Park, O'Leary
Park, Fish Lake Park, Berry Patch Park, Pilot Knob Park, Ridgecliff
Park, Walnut Hill Park, Wescott Station Park, Woodhaven Park,
and Meadowland Park. The City Council excluded from their official
authorization of park names six (6) other park lands and are
suggesting to the Parks and Recreation Commission alternative
names for those parks. The following lists the park land names
as recommended by the Advisory Commission, immediately followed
by a new name as a suggestion from the City Council:
1) Downing Athletic Fields
2) Stonecutter's Park
3) Robber's Ravine Park
4) Barley Corn Park
5) Logger's Trail
6) Trapp Farm Park
Northview Athletic Fields
Quarry Park
Ravine Park
Moonshine Park
Highline Trail
*
(* There was no recommendation, however, the City Council felt
there might be family tension if Schwanz, Trapp, or some other
family name is used for this property. If a family name is
to be used, it should clearly be the name of the family who
either originally settled the property or has had ownership
to the property longer than any other family.)
The City Council appreciates the work the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission has put into the renaming of the park
land and was especially excited about the creativity in using
unique names. The main reason for changing two of the park
land names back to the original, Northview and Highline, is
due to the community -wide name recognition of those two parks,
much the same as Carnelian Park. The reason for changing Robber's
Ravine Park was basically a feeling that the word, "Robber's",
might not provide a good connotation throughout the community
and, furthermore, the name is quite lengthy. The reason for
changing Barley Corn to Moonshine is one of identification.
The City Council concluded that a majority of people using the
park might not associate Barley Corn with the making of alcohol,
whereas, Moonshine more clearly defines historical significance
of an activity that once occurred in that park.

official action of the City Council. Please make that correction
to the Parks & Recreation Commission members at your next regular
meeting.

ion Report and Complain
Both reports for November and December were given by Jeff Hamiel. Mr. Hamiel
discussed the operation of the Permanent Monitoring System and its inability
to count aircraft accurately. The system does monitor the run-up pad reliably,
as it was originally intended to do.
B. Report of the AD HOC Handbook Committee.
Mr. Hamiel said that the proposed handbook would be used as educational
material for new and present members, and as reference material for people
in the community around MAC's airports. The handbook would be comprised of
a series of informational pamphlets incorporated into a loose-leaf binder.
Specific pamphlets could then be pulled out for resource material on particular
subjects. MAC has contacted consultants to aid in writing of these reports
and MASAC will be updated after the new Noise Abatement Manager arrives in
February.
5• Report: Noise Abatement Plan Update to the Minnesota State Legislature.
Copies of the document were distributed to the membership and there will be
discussion at the February meeting after everyone has the opportunity to study
the plan. It is broken down into three sections: 1) 1983 Impacts, 2) Next
Year's Objectives, and 3) Long Term Goals.
6. Persons Wishing to Address the Council.
Don Witz addressed the Council regarding what he considers to be a 10% use of
the 1800 heading off runway 4/22. He also discussed aircraft take -offs during
the quiet time of 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Mrs. Olive Witz commented on the
front page newspaper article on January 20 regarding future plans of the MAC,
including possible lengthening of runway 4/22. Jim Serrin moved, and Ron Glaub
seconded, a motion that the 1,000 foot threshold at the northeast end of /22
be used for take -off and landing. This motion will be referred to the Operations
ttee for recommendation.
7. Report of MASAC Representative to MAC Meeting of January 16, 1984.
Jeff Hamiel reported that in December there was a crash of a small aircraft on
approach to the Crystal Airport. There were no fatalities. He also said that
the Resolution presented by MASAC regarding the addition of equipment to the
Permanent Monitoring System was approved by MAC Staff. Mr. Hamiel is working
with the provider of the system (Tracor, Inc.) and the consulting engineers
(Wylie Labs) to investigate ways to make this system count aircraft accurately.
Further discussion at the MAC meeting included the 1983 Report to the Legislature;
the Capital Improvement Program for 1984-85, and Capital Improvement Plan for
1986-1990, which will be a 74 million dollar improvement program. Martin Kirsch

I.D. # 10-03000-011-25
Dear Mr. Gegax:
The application and instructions for a variance from the water
closet room for each sex is enclosed. This is for the variance
from City Code #4.01, USC 1982 Edition, Section 705. That section
requires a separate facility for each sex if the facilities will
be used by more than four people.
You indicated that T.B.A. had remodeled to a one toilet facility
in Brooklyn Center. My investigation revealed that the original
place of business in Brooklyn Center had only one toilet while
your Eagan facility originally had two.
Please forward your application to City Planner, Dale Runkle,
for processing.
Sincerely,
Dale Pete

THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: MARCH 1, 1984
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT POLICY` - DAMAGED
BOULEVARD RESTORATION
As you may be aware, during the first initial snowplowing opera-
tions performed by the Public Works Maintenance Division, there
are several locations where boulevard sod was damaged due to
the fact that the ground had not yet frozen and the snowplow
blade damaged a portion of frontyard areas due to the fact that
it is very difficult to define the curb alignment for heavy
accumulation first snow falls without previous snow banks to
guide the way.
Subsequently, the Public Works Maintenance Division receives
a considerable number of phone calls notifying us of the damage
situation as it occurs. Once the Maintenance Division receives •
this information, we make a list for repair the following spring. ,
The Public Works Department has the following policy as it pertains '
to the restoration of these damaged areas:
SOD REPLACEMENT: Those areas of lawns/boulevards that were
damaged by the snowplow that can readily be repaired/restored
through new sod installation will be performed by the Public '
Works crews as soon as sod becomes available from suppliers.
Past experience indicates that, dependent upon wet/dry spring .
conditions, the average date that sod becomes available is approxi-
mately May 15.
SEEDING: Those areas that are too small to be effectively repaired/
restored with standard -width strips of sod are performed by
placing high-quality topsoil and seed. This seed restoration
can occur as soon as the last freeze has occurred which his- •
torically has been approximately May 1.
Subsequently, we anticipate beginning this boulevard/lawn restora-
tion approximately May 1 and anticipate that it will take approxi-
mately one month to restore and repair all damaged areas within
the City that occurred from the previous snow removal season.
In the past, we have had good success and acceptance with this
policy and procedure. If you receive any questions, comments,
or complaints pertaining to boulevard damage and required restora-
tion, I would appreciate it if you would forward it directly
to Public Works Maintenance Division so that it can be incorporated
in their list of repairs.
Please feel free to share this with other individuals that you
feel may benefit by this information.
