MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
EAGAN CITY COUNCIL
Eagan, Minnesota
December 8, 1992
A special meeting of the Eagan City Council was convened at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8,
1992 in Room 6 at Mary, Mother of the Church for the purpose of discussing the draft 1993-1997 capital
improvements budget and to hold a public hearing for Cedar Grove #3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 street utility
reconstruction for Project 617R. Those in attendance were Mayor Egan and City Councilmembers Awada,
McCrea, Pawlenty and Wachter. Also in attendance were Director of Public Works Colbert, Fire Chief
Nelson, Police Chief Geagan, Director or Finance VanOverbeke, Acting Director of Community Development
Hohenstein and City Administrator Hedges.
PROPOSED 1993-1997 CIP
City Administrator Hedges reviewed the draft capital improvements program for the years 1993-1997
stating that the CIP is a multi-year planning instrument used for the City to identify needed capital projects
and to coordinate financing and timing of those projects to maximize the return of the Investment made by
citizens of Eagan. He summarized the three (3) specific parts which include Part I, which is the public
facilities portion, Part II Equipment, which provides for new equipment and replacement of equipment and
Part III, which is public enterprise and parks. There was a general discussion that under Part I, the
Recreation Facility Phase I should be redesignated as a capital project in 1993 instead of 1994. There was
also discussion that the project be titled Recreation Facility Phase I rather than Ice Arena/Pool. City
Councilmember Wachter expressed concern that other facilities designated as Part I be funded before an
allocation Is approved for the recreation facility. City Councilmember Pawlenty emphasized the importance
of coordinating the law Enforcement/Municipal Center remodeling with the Recreation Facility Phase I
project. City Councilmember Awada raised questions about the need for land acquisition adjacent to the
City's maintenance facility, fire station remodeling and whether an additional station is necessary. City
Council member McCrea stated that specific attention should be given to those projects proposed in the next
two to three years, and that capital projects and equipment proposed beyond that is more conceptual.
City Councilmember Awada questioned how much of the park systems plan has been developed
and suggested that the City concentrate on parkland acquisition to satisfy the objectives within the master
plan, but delay development. City Administrator Hedges stated that the Director of Parks & Recreation
became III in the afternoon and was not present for that reason and would follow up with Mr. Vraa for
additional information on the projected needs according to the City's approved park systems plan. City
Councilmembers discussed the cost of maintenance. City Councilmember Pawlenty asked what percentage
of planned parkland was purchased versus donated. He also suggested that a column be added to the CIP
for land purchase. City Councilmember Awada stated that maintenance costs should be applied to each
capital project to determine the overall budget impact.
The City Council continued discussion on equipment acquisition, which is referred to as Part II of
the proposed five (5) year CIP. City Counciimember-Elect Shawn Hunter asked a question regarding
property tax levy for sale of equipment certificates which was addressed by the City Administrator. Mayor
Egan asked for staff to adjust vehicle costs, considering both squads and unmarked police vehicles. City
Councilmember Awada stated that the amount presented in the draft five (5) year CIP seems excessive for
vehicles, specifically the number of inspectors' cars. She raised questions regarding the cost of vehicles,
a request for a golf cart and the amount of computer equipment proposed in the CIP budget. City
Councilmember Wachter raised questions regarding a 5/8ths pickup, antifreeze reclaimer, floor hoist and
Hotsy washer. City Councilmember Awada suggested that the amount for all equipment is at least 30
percent over an acceptable level of spending.

City Councilmember Pawlenty stated that direction should be provided to the City Administrator and
suggested that a memo outlining any changes or reductions the staff can consider is appropriate. He further
stated that staff should establish the priorities through the City Administrator's office and generally agreed
with the policy but not the process outlined by other members of the City Council for revising the five (5)
year CIP. City Councilmember Pawlenty stated that the City Administrator Is the CEO, Department Heads
are part of the team, not opponents, and that the City Council should set parameters and then hold staff
accountable for a level of spending as it relates to capital equipment.
The City Administrator summarized the CIP, stating that the decisions should take part in two
phases, 1) to approve certain vehicle equipment for acquisition in 1993 to comply with the Hennepin County
purchasing program and 2) that staff will provide justification for equipment and provide a revised CIP as
it relates to all three parts toward the end of January or early February. Mayor Egan thanked the staff for
their presentation.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR DECEMBER 15
City Councilmember McCrea recommended that a Special City Council meeting be held prior to the
December 15 regular meeting to conclude the performance review for the City Administrator. City
Administrator Hedges stated that the staff is planning an orientation for the operation of the video equipment
which could also take place during the special meeting. City Councilmember Awada suggested that If time
permits, the Recreation Facility and Municipal Center/Law Enforcement capital projects be discussed as
well.
RECONVENE
The special meeting was recessed and at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Egan reconvened in the Fellowship Room
of Mary, Mother of the Church to consider the public hearing for Project 617R, Cedar Grove No. 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 9, streets and utility reconstruction, which involved 700+ households. Assistant City Engineer Foertsch,
Streets Superintendent Erhart, Consulting Engineer Mark Hanson, and City Attorney James Sheldon were
present In addition to the City Council and staff who attended the C.I.P. discussion.
After Introductory remarks by Mayor Egan, City Administrator Hedges introduced the staff members
available for presentations and questions. Director of Public Works Colbert provided a brief background and
history and then called attention to the five-year Capital Improvements Program instituted in 1992 for the
purpose of prioritizing rehabilitation of the City's streets. He then Introduced Mark Hanson of Bonestroo,
Rosene, Anderlik and Associates who made the engineering presentation.
Mark Hanson described the project area and the street design. Mr. Hanson illustrated the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) rankings for each subdivision and with few exceptions, each ranking Indicated
reconstruction. Slides were used to show existing conditions throughout the subdivisions and the
construction process. Mr. Hanson then addressed the Nicols Service Road and two options to deal with
it: 1) reconstruction of the road to current standards or 2) extension of the individual driveways out to
Nicols Road.
Mr. Hanson discussed street widths and various cut do sacs and then turned his attention to the
streetlights and storm sewer portions of the project. He indicated the City was open to suggestion as to
streetlight locations and noted that storm sewer costs would not be assessed. The last item addressed by
Mr. Hanson was the estimated cost and the approximate per lot assessment for street improvements and
streetlights.
After initial instructions to the audience, the public hearing was opened for public testimony.

December 8, 1992
Geoffrey McRandall, 1837 Turquoise Trail, asked about the updated assessment figures. City
Attorney Sheldon explained the process regarding sample appraisals. He said an RFP had been sent to 500
appraisers with two appraisers ultimately selected to analyze approximately 5% of the homes in the project
area. Mr. Sheldon Indicated that preliminary results were In but the appraisals had not been completed nor
information reviewed. He stated that as soon as the results were evaluated, the information would be
reviewed by the City Council and possibly disseminated to the homeowners. Mayor Egan reminded the
audience that while the City had to be reasonably certain the project was financially feasible, the primary
purpose this evening was the engineering feasibility.
Ed Morse, 4385 Onyx Drive, stated that his street was in good condition and that the PCI ranking
was evidently Incorrect. He asked whether Shale Lane would be constructed to a heavier use. He also
indicated that 8% interest on the assessment seemed to be high. Mayor Egan said that 8% was only an
estimate and the percentage could be lower. When Mr. Morse asked whether he would be placed in a
higher property tax bracket if the City determined that the benefit to the property justified the assessment,
Director of Public Works Colbert said It was his understanding that any market evaluation for tax purposes
usually does not take Into consideration the condition of the streets, storm sewer or streetlights.
Karen Ellingson, 1764 Serpentine Drive, asked whether reconfiguration of the cul de sac entrances
would make a difference in the cost of the improvement. Mark Hanson indicated there was no significant
difference in cost. Ms. Ellingson asked about the high cost of the streetlights and Director of Public Works
Colbert stated the installation was bid by Northern States Power and Dakota Electric with the total cost
divided by the number of properties. He said the cost includes burying the cable, installing the light poles
as well as the cost of the individual streetlights.
Henry Peterson, 4053 Amethyst Lane, discussed a number of issues including the difference in costs
associated with surmountable curbing versus the B618 curb. Mr. Peterson mentioned funding proposed for
an Ice arena project and suggested It be used to increase the City's contribution to this project. He said
Cedar Grove is not the richest area of Eagan but the properties have contributed to all the major funds over
the years. Mr. Peterson said the project is needed but asked if there were other alternatives or whether it
could be completed In phases.
Bob Saalborn, 4064 Amethyst Lane, asked whether drainage would be better with the storm sewer
improvements, especially as it relates to the "100-year storms" the City has experienced recently. Mark
Hanson reported there Is no proposal to upgrade the storm sewer system. He suggested that with
reconstruction of the catch basins, the system will drain properly and more quickly but there will be little
improvement on the system's ability to handle the major storms referenced by Mr. Saalborn.
David Wyss, 2108 Shale Lane, recommended that the width of Shale Lane be maintained because
of the amount of bus traffic, the number of children who walk in the street and because it is a through street.
Director of Public Works Colbert said the street is currently 34' wide and is proposed to the City standard
of 32'. He indicated the change would not be significant.
Lyle Vogt, 1816 Cinnabar Court, questioned the reduced entrance areas of the reconstructed cul
de sacs and asked whether the materials removed from the driveway areas would be replaced in kind or
only in bituminous. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that the street widths were being proposed
to conform with City standards. The streets in Cedar Grove were constructed at various widths and it was
determined that if they were ever going to be brought into compliance, this would be the appropriate time
to do It. He explained that If the residents are comfortable with the street widths as they are, the change
would not make a difference in the assessments. Mayor Egan asked for a show of hands to indicate those
in the audience who wished to keep the street widths as they are and the majority raised their hands.

Robert Drumm, 1762 Serpentine Drive, said most of his concerns related to costs. Mr. Drumm
acknowledged that all streets In Eagan will have to be reconstructed at some time and suggested that rather
than keep taxes 'artificially low" they be Increased to cover street reconstruction. Mayor Egan stated that,
If approved, the project will go out for bid; however, even with the lowest bids, the City Is not anticipating
anything but a negligible change. He said once the City has the appraisals, they will know what amount of
assessments would be fair and equitable.
Kathy Kuntz, 2133 Shale Lane, discussed her suggestion to reconsider the existing assessment
policy. She said public use items should be paid for by all. She then outlined the responses she received
from other cities regarding their policies.
Terry Perron, 3946 Beryl Road, expressed his opposition to streetlights proposed for the interior
streets and suggested Installing lights only at intersections. Mayor Egan asked for a show of hands to
indicate those In the audience who wished the Installation of streetlights, and the majority raised their hands.
Mike Stapf, 1933 Turquoise Trail, stated that he wanted to know the cost of the project before it
goes forward. Director of Public Works Colbert Indicated that if the project were approved, the City will go
out for bids in mid-March with costs reviewed at that time.
Rick Sunde, 3867A Gold Point, asked a number of questions about how apartments would be
assessed. Mark Hanson explained the assessments for Countryside Villa.
Geof McRandall asked, if the project were approved, whether he would now be responsible for the
assessments. Pending assessments were then discussed.
Mayor Egan closed the hearing to public testimony at 9:22 p.m.
Councilmember McCrea stated it would be her preference to authorize staff to put together the plans
and specifications and secure the bids, then have it brought back to the City Council for review of the bids,
the appraisals and the final assessments before making a final decision. The rest of the Council agreed.
Additional discussion took place regarding the street widths with the suggestion being made by
Councilmember Awada that the street widths remain the same with the exception of the collector streets
which will be brought to the City's standard 36' width. Questions were raised about building Shale Lane to
a higher standard; however, Mr. Colbert assured the residents that building Shale Lane to residential street
standards would be adequate.
Wachter moved, Awada seconded, a motion to dose the public hearing and approve Project 617R
(Cedar Grove 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 Additions - Street Rehabilitation) as modified with all street widths to remain
as they are with the exception of the collector streets which will be brought to the City's standard 36' width
and authorized the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. Aye: 5 Nay: 0
