REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE RATE STRUCTURE FOR ALL PUBLIC UTILITIES City Administrator Hedges introduced the item, noting that in June of 2009, the Council authorized staff to engage Springsted, Inc. to complete a rate study for all public utilities. The purpose of the study, as communicated by Hedges, was first, to assist the City in adopting a water rate structure by January 2010 that encourages water conservation, as required by State law, and second, to review all utility rates in relation to long -term operating and capital financing requirements, and recommend changes as appropriate. Hedges noted that Springsted is now seeking direction from the City on policy questions in order to complete the analysis and present the final report to the Council later this year.

Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke provided a summary of the election judge appointment process as specified by Minnesota State Statute. The City Council discussed the statutes. Councilmember Bakken raised concern that the City does not screen candidates that are appointed as election judges.

Upon further discussion, the City Council directed that an Ad Hoc Committee be formed to further discuss this issue of election judge appointment.

PERSONNEL ITEMS Item 1. Approve PERA Related Repetitive Leave Policy. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve the attached policy entitled, "PERA Related Repetitive Leave Policy" and allow identified employees to buy back their PERA benefits should be they be approved to work a 36 hour week verses a 40 hour week. BACKGROUND: This past year, 3 employees have approached their respective supervisors to propose working a reduced schedule of 36 hours per week verses 40 hours per week. Along with this reduction in hours; vacation, sick, and holiday accrual rates were prorated, along with Medicare and FICA taxes and PERA contributions from both the City and the employee. FACTS: PERA Statute 353 states that employees may take a "periodic repetitive leave without pay up to 208 hours in a year under the provisions of MN Stat 353.01 This is available for full time employees working 40 hours per week. The statute states that an employee may choose to continue contributing to PERA the amount that would normally be deducted, in order to preserve their PERA pension level, despite a reduction in income. If the employee chooses this option, the City is than obligated to pay the Employer portion of PERA for that individual as if they we receiving compensation for a 40 hour work week vs. a 36 hour work week. This is referenced as a "buy back" of PERA benefits. The employee may choose not to "buy back" PERA benefits, in that case, the City would continue to make PERA contributions based on the hours the employee is compensated for. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City implement a voluntary program offered by PERA to allow these three individuals to "buy back" their lost PERA benefits in 2009, and allow this opportunity for any other eligible employee who may be approved to reduce their weekly annual work hours from 40 hours per week to 36 hours per week in 2010 and considered annually for renewal. ATTACHMENTS: PERA Related Periodic Repetitive Leave Policy is attached on page 17 Buy Backp�efit Offereq t rough the Voluntary Hours Reduction Program is enclosed on pages through Reduced Schedule Agreement is attached on pageaD I Le PERA BENEFITS: PERA Statute 353.01 states that employees may take a "periodic repetitive leave without pay up to 208 hours in a year under the provisions of MN Stat 353.01 This is available for full time employees working 40 hours per week. The statute states that an employee may choose to continue contributing to PERA the amount that would normally be deducted, in order to preserve their PERA pension level, despite a reduction in income. If the employee choose this option, the City would also pay the Employer portion of PERA for that individual as if they we receiving compensation for a 40 hour work week vs. a 36 hour work week. This is referenced as a "buy back" of PERA benefits. See attached document entitled PERA Buy Back Benefit. Eligibility: Full time employees who have completed their probationary period may request to reduce their hours to no less than 36 hours per week. The supervisor, Department Director and Human Resources Manager will determine the feasibility of the request and follow up with a written response. The reduction in hours agreement may be recalled by the City at any time for any purpose. See attached sample Reduced Schedule Agreement. The Reduced Schedule and employee compensation and other City benefits: Compensation: Employees continue to earn their current hourly rate, based on hours worked. An exempt employee would keep their exempt status, but would simply work less hours. The City could realize up to a 10% cost savings in the personnel budget, particularly in the areas of compensation, Medicare and FICA and payroll taxes. Benefits: MEDICAL /PREVENTATIVE DENTAL /LIFE LTD The City's insurance policies and all insurance contract language state that employees who work at least 30 hours per week pay the same employee contribution to premiums to that of an employee working 40 hours per week. There are no recommendations to change this policy. VACATION /SICK ACCURAL Accrual rates are prorated based on hours worked.

The statute states that an employee may choose to continue contributing to PERA the amount that would normally be deducted, in order to preserve their full PERA pension level, despite a reduction in income. If the employee chooses this option, the City is than obligated to pay the Employer portion of PERA for that individual as if they we receiving compensation for a 40 hour work week vs. a 36 hour work week. This is referenced as a "buy back" of PERA benefits. The employee may choose not to "buy back" PERA benefits, in that case, the City would continue to make PERA contributions based on the hours the employee is compensated for. Example of buying back PERA benefits: If a full time (40 hr /wk) employee earning $20.00 /hour, wished to work 36 hrs /wk, and decided to buy back PERA benefits, they would pay an additional $9.60 per pay period, on a pre -tax basis. The City would pay an additional $10.60 per pay period. Example of exercising this option: With City approval to reduce hours per the Voluntary Hours Reduction Program an employee could reduce their schedule from 2080 hours per year to 1872 hours per year, or in many cases, this would result in a schedule reduction from 40 hours per week to 36 hours per week over an entire calendar year. This "periodic repetitive leave" under PERA may be renewed each calendar year. Per PERA, the agreement has a start date and a stop date determined by the employee and the employer which must be adhered to and cannot be changed. In addition, the reduction in hours must be adhered to for the length of the agreement. Enrollment Period: The three identified employees who voluntarily reduced their schedule in 2009 may retroactively buy back PERA benefits for 2009. Eligibility for PERA Buy Back in 2010: Employee must currently have a 40 hour work week schedule. Employee must reduce their work hours by no more than 208 per calendar year, (36 hours per week for a full calendar year). Rules of Participation: The Employee may make a request to reduce their hours by completing the Voluntary Hours Reduction Form. Upon approval, the City will respond with a written agreement which must be signed by the employee and a representative of the City, along with the PERA Notice of Periodic Leave form. For enrollees after January 1, 2010, the City authorizes the buy back benefit through pre -tax payroll reduction only. i 9 Lkp /hrpol /poldev /reducsched /PERA buy back11.09 I agree to work a reduced schedule from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, 2009. I agree to work Mondays 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Effectively; this changes the total weekly hours paid from 40 hours per week to 36 hours per week. This reduced schedule does not change my exempt status. I understand that approval of my request for a Reduced Schedule does not in any way guarantee a permanent schedule. I understand that my Supervisor may modify this schedule at any time, upon sufficient notice. I understand that even an approved Reduced Schedule is not an employment right and that the City may at any time direct me to work the original 40 hours per week that I was working prior to this agreement. I agree that City business needs cannot be compromised because of my working a Reduced Schedule and that identified City needs are determined by the Employer. I understand that I am still responsible for all my duties as assigned by my Supervisor and those indicated in my job description. Therefore, I am willing to be flexible as it relates to my schedule in order to ensure other employees and the public are not adversely impacted. I agree to adhere to the agreed upon Reduced Schedule in its entirety. I also understand that if the request is granted, it will be re- evaluated and reviewed by my Supervisor at any time to further determine its feasibility and that the Employer reserves the right to direct me to return to the typical work schedule as addressed in the Employee Personnel Policy Handbook, Sec 10.1, Working Hours and Overtime Pay at any time during the program.

APPROVE 2010 2014 GENERAL FACILITIES RENEWAL REPLACEMENT CIP 2010 BUDGET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve the 2010 -2014 General Facilities Renewal Replacement CIP 2010 Budget and to authorize the transfer of all assets in the "City Property Special Assessment Debt Service Fund" to the "General Facilities Renewal Replacement Fund FACTS: This General Facilities Renewal Replacement Fund was created in 1999 for the purpose of providing resources for renewal and replacement of general facilities; primarily non enterprise fund infrastructure. Major renewal and replacement items such as roofs, parking lot improvements, and grounds enhancements are cyclical in nature and create budgeting problems when inserted into the annual operating budgets. An annual allocation of the tax levy which began in 1999 at $100,000 has been dedicated to the General Facilities Renewal and Replacement Fund except for payable 2004 and 2009. For those two years the levy was redirected to the General Fund to assist in enabling the City to finance the operating budgets following budget cuts and constrained revenues available for use in the General Fund resulting from various State actions. The allocation to this fund of the tax levy for payable 2010 is $271,146. Management meetings have been held at which time staff from each department had an opportunity to discuss their proposals and challenge other department proposals in attempts to prioritize overall City needs. The attached list of projects totaling $212,850 with $1,650 financed by Public Utilities and $211,200 financed by this fund was reached by consensus. Nearly all of the projects in the five year program at this point relate to non street bituminous surfaces. The transition in the City's General Governmental Maintenance operations staffing and the potential impact of energy projects and related stimulus funds has resulted in building repair projects being somewhat undefined at this point. ace Staff is currently reviewing potential short and long term capital projects including the use of energy stimulus funds. The conclusions of the studies may result in a request to amend this budget in 2010. The City Property Special Assessment Debt Service Fund was created to pay the City's share of special assessments on benefiting property that the City owns and also relies on periodic tax levies for funding. Given the purpose of the two funds it is appropriate to combine them into one fund and utilize one combined tax levy as the funding source for both.

APPROVE 2010 2014 CIP PART II VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT 2010 BUDGET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve Part II (Vehicles and Equipment) of the 2010 2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2010 Budget FACTS: The first year of this CIP (2010) is approved as a budget with the four out years (2011 2014) being approved only as a general plan. For the most part, vehicles and equipment costing more than $10,000 are budgeted in this section of the CIP with items costing less than $10,000 budgeted in departmental operating budgets. The City Council has established a policy whereby each year an amount of the property tax levy is allocated to the Equipment Revolving Fund (ERF) for non- enterprise fund CIP Part II purchases. The allocation is increased annually for population growth and inflation. The 2010 allocation was increased by 3.5% from the 2009 allocation to $1,070,549. A slight deficit of $11,296 is being carried forward from 2009 generating a total available balance of $1,059,253 for 2010 purchases. Management meetings were held at which time staff from each department had an opportunity to discuss their proposals and challenge other department proposals in attempts to prioritize overall City capital equipment needs, the attached list of purchases totaling $1,840,700 from the ERF was reached by consensus. This allocation creates a carry forward balance of $298,853 into 2011. Staff has continued to develop options to maintain the balance between revenues and expenditures in this fund. Given the significant cost of certain vehicles and equipment, it has been necessary to address the revenue sources for this fund. Additionally, certain equipment has been moved to 2011 extending its useful life. Staff continues to maximize use of the City's resources by stretching equipment and vehicle use. The recently approved funding plan for Fire apparatus is one component of proposed revisions to maintaining appropriate funding and the ability to replace equipment as necessary. The proposed 2010 Budget includes the use of $425,000 of antenna lease revenue to finance the acquisition of a replacement City wide telephone system. It is anticipated the replacement telephone system will be acquired through the City's information technology consortium, LOGIS, to reduce costs through the Joint Powers sharing arrangement and to leverage existing and future technology infrastructure. Vehicles proposed for purchase were evaluated through the use of the Vehicle Acquisition, Use Replacement Policy approved by the City Council in February of 2005. Staff is continuing to research potential downsizing of vehicles and potential incorporation of hybrids into the City's fleet of vehicles where feasible. Public policy issues such as acquisition cost versus operating costs will be brought before the City Council prior to a change in acquisition parameters. The funding sources for the total 2010 Part II CIP allocation of $1,840,700 include $760,400 from the ERF, $59,100 from the City's Utility Funds, $455,000 from the Fire Apparatus Replacement Fund, $106,200 from retained franchise fees, $35,000 from Police forfeiture funds and $425,000 from antenna lease revenues.

However, the vendor that carries this product will guarantee parts and service for one year after the end of life of a product for the City. Vo1P, Voice over Internet Protocol, is the direction the telephony market is headed. Most new telephone systems are now VoIP capable, and older systems lose manufacturer support. The City's Voicemail System has become very unstable. The software will not operate on any other server other than the type of hardware it is dedicated to operate on. The Voicemail server is 8 years old and service and support on this product is not available. The City has 1000 DID's (Direct Inward Dialing) that have been purchased through our telephone service provider. Those numbers are 651 675 -5000 651 675 -5999.

We understand the final plat needs to be submitted for Mayor and City Cleric signature prior to delivery to Dakota County for recording. Before approving the final plat, the Dakota County Surveyor needs to see a record of property transfer. The status of the property transfer (deed) from MnDOT to the Met Council is still in progress, and is not likely to be complete before November 16, 2009. Legal counsel also needs to try to resolve some comments from the County. These resolutions must be placed on the final plat and printed on the final mylars for submission. We expect the remaining efforts to be complete within the next couple months. We request an extension of 6 months, but anticipate not needing the full amount of time.

CARRIAGE HILLS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET (EAW) CITY OF EAGAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To adopt a Negative Declaration on the need for a Carriage Hills Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the former golf course located at 3535 Wescott Woodlands. FACTS: The approved use of the former Carriage Hills Golf Course property for up to 480 residential housing units triggers the need for a mandatory EAW. At their regular meeting of July 7, 2009, the City Council authorized the preparation of the EAW for the 120 acre site. The City's consultant SRF prepared a draft EAW. The EAW was submitted to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) on September 18, 2009. The EQB published the EAW Availability Notice in the EQB Monitor on September 21, 2009 initiating the 30 day Comment Period. The EAW Comment Period closed on October 21, 2009. Comments were received from Dakota County, the DNR, Met Council, MnDOT and the MPCA. The Findings of Fact state and respond to the four factors to be considered under Minnesota rules to determine the adequacy of an EAW /need for an EIS. Based on all available information, City staff and the City's consultant, SRF, believe an EIS is not warranted. The full Findings of Fact and all appendices are on file with the City of Eagan Community Development Department.

CONCLUSIONS 5 H: I Projects168801 EPI Reports\Drafts\FoFCI Findings of Fact and Conclusions.doc I. ADMINISTRATIVE BACKGROUND The City of Eagan proposes the redevelopment of 120 acres of former golf course into a municipal fire station at the northeast corner of the project area and approximately 440 units of attached and detached residential dwellings of mixed density. The project also includes the extension of Duckwood Drive east through the center of the project area, where it would intersect Wescott Woodlands at the east end of the project area. The fire station would be built on approximately four acres at the northeast corner of the project area. Access to the facility would be provided from Wescott Woodlands, with an emergency access on Yankee Doodle Road. Duckwood Drive, an existing east -west roadway, would be extended from its current terminus just east of Falcon Way eastward to Wescott Woodlands, a north -south roadway along the eastern edge of the project area. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared as a part of the state environmental review process to fulfill M.S. 116D. At the state level, the EAW is used to provide sufficient environmental documentation to determine the need for a state Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or that a Negative Declaration is appropriate. The City of Eagan is the Proposer and Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for this project. In accordance with Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) rules, the EAW was filed with the EQB and circulated for review and comment to the EQB distribution list. A "Notice of Availability" was published in the EQB Monitor on September 21, 2009. The EAW was made available for public review at the Wescott Library in Eagan and at the Eagan City Hall. The comment period ran through October 21, 2009. All comments received were considered in determining the potential for substantial new environmental impacts. Five written agency comments were received during the EAW comment period and are included in Appendix A. Reponses to agency comments are included in Appendix B. Based upon the information in the record, which is composed of the EAW for the proposed project, the issues raised during the public comment period, the responses to the comments, and other supporting documents, the City of Eagan makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions: Findings of Fact and Conclusions 1 November 2009 Carriage Hills Special Area Project 43 Bloomington Area Location Map Carriage Hills Special Area Project City of Eagan, Minnesota Figure 1 Project Location USGS Carriage Hills Special Area Project City of Eagan, Minnesota q5 Figure 2 II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project involves the redevelopment of the former 120 -acre Carriage Hills Golf Course site in Eagan, Minnesota. The redevelopment would include construction of a municipal fire station, extension of Duckwood Drive eastward to Wescott Woodlands, and development of 440 units of mixed density attached and detached residential dwellings. The project is intended to effectively redevelop the former golf course into a low /medium density residential development, improve infrastructural continuity by extending Duckwood Drive to Wescott Woodlands, and improve safety in the region by constructing a municipal fire station. III. DECISION REGARDING THE NEED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT An EIS is not necessary for the proposed project based on the following criteria: A. Type, Extent, and Reversibility of Impacts The EAW described the type and extent of impacts to the natural environment anticipated to result from the proposed project. The proposed design for the project includes features to mitigate the identified impacts. B. Cumulative Potential Effects of Related or Anticipated Future Projects As discussed in the EAW, the cumulative potential effect of related or anticipated future development has been considered and the proposed project has low potential for cumulative impacts to the resources directly or indirectly affected by the project. C. Extent to Which the Environmental Effects Are Subject To Mitigation by Ongoing Public Regulatory Authority The mitigation of environmental impacts will be designed and implemented in coordination with regulatory agencies and will be subject to the plan approval and permitting processes. Permits and approvals that have been obtained or may be required prior to project construction are identified in Table 1. Findings of Fact and Conclusions Carriage Hills Special Area Project 4 November 2009 Permit 1 Agency 1 Action Required State National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MPCA Permit Water Minnesota Department of Health Permit Sanitary Sewer MPCA Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Permit DNR Protected Waters Permit DNR Permit WCA Corps of Engineers Joint Permit Corps of Engineers BWSR Permit Watershed Permits (if necessary) Gun Club Lake WMO Plan Review Section 401 MPCA Certification Local Building Permit City of Eagan Permit Erosion Control City of Eagan Permit Utility Connections City of Eagan Permit County Road Access Dakota County Permit TABLE 1 PERMITS AND APPROVALS D. Extent to Which Environmental Effects Can Be Anticipated and Controlled As A Result of Other Environmental Studies Anticipated environmental impacts associated with this project are typical of impacts associated with other regulated site redevelopment projects. City staff finds that the environmental effects of the project can be anticipated and controlled as a result of environmental review and experience gained on similar projects. IV. CONCLUSIONS 1. All requirements for environmental review of the project have been met. 2. The EAW and the permit development processes related to the project have generated information that is adequate to determine whether the project has the potential for significant environmental effects. 3. Areas where potential environmental effects have been identified are being addressed during the detail design of the project. Mitigation will be provided where impacts are expected to result from project construction, operation, or maintenance. Mitigative measures are incorporated into project design, and have been or will be coordinated with the appropriate agencies during the permit process. 4. Based on the criteria in Minnesota Rules part 4410.1700, the project does not have the potential for significant environmental effects. Findings of Fact and Conclusions Carriage Hills Special Area Project �7 5 November 2009 5. The EAW for the Carriage Hills Special Area Project is adequate and an Environmental Impact Statement is not required for the project. Michael J. Ridley, AIC le‘° (//14°47 City Planner, City s agan Date Findings of Fact and Conclusions Carriage Hills Special Area Project November 2009 COMMENTS AND RESPONSES ON THE CARRIAGE HILLS SPECIAL AREA PLAN EAW Agencies and the public had the opportunity to submit comments during the public comment period. The public review period ended on October 21, 2009. Five agencies provided substantive comments during the comment period. Copies of the correspondence containing the following comments are located in Appendix A. Some of the following comments have been summarized. 1. Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Comment #1: This development should have little impact on the Minnesota Department of Transportation's (Mn /DOT) transportation system or right of way. Response: Comment noted. No response needed. 2. Metropolitan Council Comment #1: The site is consistent with the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update (Update) submitted May 29, 2009. However, the Council has not acted upon the 2030 Update, and therefore the Carriage Hills EAW was reviewed within the context of the City's 2020 Update. The site is inconsistent with the City's 2020 Update as reviewed by the Council on December 13, 2000. Response: The City's 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update reflects the addition of the fire safety campus. The City will resubmit its 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update in November 2009. Comment #2: Eagan has been identified as a community with excessive peak hourly flow during wet weather occurrences. As such the community has an identified I/I reduction goal that applies to a specific part(s) of the community or to the community as a whole. The community will need to include a description of its I/I program in its 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update. See attached Ordinance Section 3.40. Response: On September 1, 2009, the Eagan City Council adopted an Amendment to City Ordinance Section 3.40 (Rules Regulations relating to Sanitary Sewer Service). The amendment supports I/I mitigation by enabling inspection of the private sewer systems within our community, commonly referred to as a "Sump Pump and Service Lateral Inspection Program" (SP &SLIP). Eagan has approximately 18,800 private connections to its sewer system, which can take 7 to 10 years to complete on a citywide APPENDIX B 1 41 basis. The new ordinance ensures access onto private property and necessary enforcement measures to ensure compliance with the required separation of I/I from allowable sewage disposal. The ordinance specifically addresses the full spectrum of 1/1, including definitions, restrictions, requirements, inspections, corrections and compliance enforcement actions /penalties. The City's Fee Schedule has been amended, as well, to incorporate the various surcharges associated with non compliance enforcement. See attached ordinance. 3. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Comment #1: Please clarify if the streets, utilities, and storm ponds would be constructed at the same time as the extension of Duckwood Drive and the fire station even though a developer has not yet been identified for the residential component of the Project. Response: Street construction will be limited to the construction of the Duckwood Drive extension and Station Trail (access to the fire station). Water main already exists on the Duckwood Drive extension alignment and will be added as part of the construction of Station Trail. Sanitary sewer main exists on a portion of the Duckwood Drive extension alignment and is not planned to be added with any other portion of the construction. Storm sewer and storm ponds /sedimentation basins will be constructed as needed for the new street construction. Comment #2: Given that there are several categories within the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit, item 8 on page 4 should identify which category this Project requires. Response: The category of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit deemed necessary for this project is more specifically known as the General Permit for NPDES -SDS Construction Activity. Comment #3: The EAW should identify the former use of the Project property, Carriage Hills Golf Course, as a small to minimal quantity hazardous waste generator and identify the types of hazardous wastes generated at the property. The MPCA recommends that the Project proposer obtain an environmental consultant to conduct an environmental investigation of the property to determine if there was a release of hazardous wastes to the environment. Response: A Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was done for the 120 acre site. The assessment revealed no indications of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the site. See attached Environmental Site Assessment report. Comment #4: The EAW does not mention mitigation for wetland impacts, which include inundation, and does not discuss any proposed protections to the wetlands such as buffers. The MPCA supports a requirement that adequate buffers be included surrounding wetlands. At a minimum, these buffers should be in the 20 to 50 foot range with more APPENDIX B 2 `7V buffer dependant on the protection goals. The buffer of native vegetation needs to be perpetually maintained around the wetlands and we recommend the city prohibit the alteration of the natural vegetation within the buffer strip. Conservation easements, covenants, recorded deed restriction or other permanent restrictions have been used to prohibit lot owners from filling or altering wetlands and buffers when the wetland is on their lots; however, enforcing the buffer restriction on each of the individual lot owners can be burdensome and difficult it lot owners desire to mow these areas to expand their back yard. We recommend that the wetland boundary and an appropriate buffer are designated public property under the city's management to assure the maintenance of the buffer and to avoid the difficulties of enforcing these restrictions on individual lot owners in the future. Response: The City does not own or control the 120 -acre site; however, wetland buffers and wetland buffer setbacks are required by City Code and will be imposed. The City's Water Quality and Wetland Management Plan addresses wetland protection and buffers dependent upon the quality of the wetland. Minimum buffers are required, as well as a prohibition of impacts without demonstration of significant public benefit. See attached exhibit (Table 5.1). Comment #5: Item 17a on page 12 states the Project will create approximately 27 acres of new impervious surfaces, but Table 3 in Item 10 indicates 34 acres of new impervious surfaces will be created. Please clarify which acreage is correct. Response: Item 17a incorrectly stated that the project would create approximately 27 acres of new impervious surfaces. This was a typing error. As stated in other parts of the document, the project would create approximately 34 acres of new impervious surfaces. Comment #6: Item 17a of the EAW indicates that the proposed stormwater ponds will discharge into wetlands currently located on -site. The EAW should evaluate if these discharges will cause impact to the wetland by changing its natural hydrology or by any proposed construction in the wetland such as excavation of installation of drainage pipes. Any impacts to wetlands must be evaluated for compliance with the wetland sequence mitigation of Minn. R. 7050.0186. Response: Impacts to wetlands are not anticipated with the construction of the fire station or roadway extension. Potential impacts resulting from wetland fill are not anticipated; potential impacts resulting in hydrology changes will be analyzed when a proposal for development of the residential component is presented to the City. Comment #7: This section of the EAW should also discuss that an increase in impervious surfaces will also increase the temperature of runoff, the potential effects of this to the wetlands, and any necessary mitigation. Response: Any runoff will be directed to stormwater treatment ponds, where it would return to ambient temperature. As a result, impacts to wetlands are not anticipated. APPENDIX B 3 S I Comment #8: Item 17b of the EAW discusses the impaired nature of the receiving waters for stormwater and that additional best management practices, including infiltration, will be required to meet stormwater permit requirements. Figure 3 indicates the potential locations of the stormwater ponds and item 17b indicates that the potential locations of the infiltration practices would be around these ponds. Figure 3 should also show the potential locations for the infiltration practices. Response: The legend in Figure 3 was revised to reflect potential pond /infiltration locations. See attached revised Figure 3. Comment #9: Also, as indicated in Item 17b in the EAW, the Project is located within one mile of Fish Lake, which is impaired for mercury, nutrients and eutrophication. Please note that any project that will result in over 50 acres of disturbed area and has a discharge point within one mile of an impaired water is required to submit their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to the MPCA for a review at least 30 days prior to the commencement of land disturbing activities. If the SWPPP is found to be out of compliance with the terms and conditions of the General Permit, further delay may occur. The MPCA encourages the project proposer to meet with staff at preliminary points to avoid this situation. Response: Comment noted. No response is needed. Comment #10: The EAW should include a table showing the estimated flow calculation for the development and a sanitary sewer map showing the connections to the existing sewers. Response: See attached sewer flow memorandum, fire station utility plan, and existing sanitary sewer connections figure. Comment #11: The demolition of the existing buildings should be in compliance with state and federal regulations that require the structure be inspected for hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead based paint, light ballasts, thermostats and stored chemicals. Response: Any demolition of existing buildings will adhere to MPCA regulations and guidelines. Comment #12: The Office of Environmental Assistance no longer exists and a more current per capita volume of solid waste should be sought. Response: The merger of the Office of Environmental Assistance into the MPCA has been noted. Outdated figures from the Office of Environmental Assistance (OEA) were erroneously used in determining per capita volume of solid waste. Additional research yielded more recent figures from the MPCA's SCORE Report. APPENDIX B 4 Sa, According to the 2007 SCORE Report released in January 2009 by the MPCA, the seven county Metropolitan Area accounted for 58 percent (or 3,562,604 tons) of the total municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2007. The MPCA reported an estimate of solid waste generation of 1.24 tons per person per year in 2007 for the Metropolitan Area. With regard to the proposed project, it is estimated that the 440 proposed units of residential development with an average of 2.18 persons per household (based on figures in Item 18a) would generate approximately 1,189 tons of solid waste per year. Comment #13: The MPCA advocates the use of Low Impact Design (LID) practices to aid in the minimization of storm water impacts. LID is a storm water management approach and site design technique that emphasizes water infiltration, values water as a resource, and promotes the use of natural system to treat water runoff. Response: The four -acre fire station is planned to incorporate LID practices so that all site drainage is maintained on -site to a 10 -year rainfall event. For the remainder of the development, the following policies from the City's Water Quality Wetland Management Plan will be used as goals for development: GOAL 3: Protect surface water resources from impacts of land development and re- development activities. Policy 3.1: Require new development activity creating more than %2 acre of new impervious surface to achieve no- net increase of Total Phosphorus (TP) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) loading or meet removal performance criteria of 50 percent TP and 80 percent TSS, whichever is more restrictive. Policy 3.2: Require redevelopment activities to achieve no- net increase of TP and TSS loading. Policy 3.3: Require infiltration of the first one -half inch of stormwater runoff from any rainfall event from: 1) new impervious areas of redevelopment activities and 2) the entire site of new development activities. Policy 3.4: Collect cash dedications in lieu of on -site treatment for water quality/wetland protection capital improvements, at the City's discretion. Comment #14: There is an error in Item 18c on page 14, in that it should reference Metropolitan Council (not Conservation) Environmental Services. Response: Comment noted. No response is necessary. APPENDIX B 5 55 4. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Comment #1: A comparison of Figure 3 (proposed project) with Figure 5 (existing conditions) suggests there will be more woodland lost than the 0.4 acres indicated in Table 3 in this section. We request that you verify the amount of projected woodland loss, and note that we are providing recommendations below on how to preserve more woodland. Response: The acreage amounts in Table 3 are presumed to be accurate. Existing land cover was calculated using data from the DNR's Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). Future land cover had to be calculated based on a digitization of the proposed layout (which was in an image format from the City's Carriage Hills Special Area Plan). Since the residential component is not being developed at this time, it is not possible to determine exact acreage amounts. The figures in Table 3 are intended as estimations. The MLCCS data sometimes classify areas that appear to be "wooded /forest" as "brush /grassland." This is the primary reason for the discrepancy. Table 3 also explains that approximately 5.9 acres of "brush /grassland" will be lost under the proposed project. Part (if not most) of the 5.9 acres are likely to be located within immediate vicinity of forested areas on the site. Comment #2: The project generally does a good job of preserving green space and existing natural features. We respectfully offer additional recommendations to further protect natural resources, provide important fish and wildlife habitat, and retain natural features on the site. Because most of the area is open with scattered adult trees, it offers the potential for restoration to Oak Savanna/Prairie. A restored 120 -acre prairie or oak savanna in the middle of a developed suburban area would showcase our rarest native plant communities in Minnesota and add a nice amenity to the City. Response: The City put the option of acquiring the 120 acres of property for public purposes (i.e. park) as a referendum opportunity in the most recent election (2008). The referendum motion failed 45 percent to 55 percent. The settlement agreement for the property between the City and the property owner supports the preservation of 30 acres of the site as open space. Comment #3: The wetland labeled W -C (DOW 19 -140) was used by the DNR in the mid -1980s as a rearing pond. There are minnows in the pond, but we are uncertain what other fish may occur there. The shoreline is entirely wooded and has good roosts for kingfishers, egrets, and other waterbirds. Water lilies, coontail and elodea are common aquatic plants. Access is currently limited, but could be enhanced as part of this development if properly planned. We recommend that a large buffer of native vegetation be maintained along the shoreline of this basin, especially the existing woody vegetation. APPENDIX B 6 Response: The City's Water Quality and Wetland Management Plan indicates that Wetland W -C (DOW 19 -140) is a "Protect" Wetland (Class W1) and requires a minimum 50' wide buffer and does not allow impact without demonstration of significant public benefit. See attached exhibit (Table 5.1). Comment #4: The wetland labeled W -A in the document has potential for being a catfish or largemouth bass rearing pond. It has reasonably easy access despite lowered water levels. We believe it would be desirable to restore the shoreline to native vegetation and not allow development along the shore. If possible, the Department of Natural Resources would like to be allowed access for fishery management. Response: The City's Water Quality and Wetland Management Plan indicates that Wetland W -A is a "Protect" Wetland (Class W1) and requires a minimum 50' wide buffer and does not allow impact without demonstration of significant public benefit. The City is not the owner of the property upon which Wetland W -A resides and it is unlikely that the City will ever be the owner of said property. However, the City would be open to and encourage such access for the DNR. See attached exhibit (Table 5.1). Comment #5: According to Table 4 (Wetlands), Wetland B also has good quality vegetation (as do Wetlands A and C). We believe impacts to Wetland B can be avoided, and woodland loss between Wetlands A and C minimized, by redesigning the development proposed for the extreme southwest corner of the parcel. Specifically, we recommend that the through road and four residential units proposed in that area not be constructed; the four housing units could be recouped on the north side of Duckwood Drive. To implement this recommendation, the public street coming in from the west could terminate in a cul -de -sac as proposed, or could loop back to the north to create a throughway. Likewise, the road along the east side coming in from the north could end in a cul -de -sac. By not constructing the through road as proposed, a block of woods and open -water wetlands that would serve as a wildlife oasis could be maintained intact and unfragmented. Response: City staff will work with the ultimate developer and suggest design changes to maximize those natural amenities. Comment #6: It was unclear from the document how the City is planning to effectively manage increased runoff. The document mentions constructing NURP ponds for runoff treatment and some infiltration, but it is uncertain that these measures would limit runoff volume to pre development levels. We recommend that 1) wetlands, especially wetlands A and C, not be used as a repository for additional runoff; 2) runoff to wetlands A and C be limited to quantity and quality of runoff before development; and 3) outlets not be constructed from either of these basins. Response: City staff appreciates the comments and will encourage incorporation with any future development proposals. The City Code limits runoff to pre- development levels APPENDIX B 7 and the City's Storm Water Management Plan requires a half -inch rain event to remain on site. 5. Dakota County Comment #1: We believe it is important to work with the City to make local street connections to adjacent areas. We also believe it is important to reduce local trip son the higher -speed County highway system, which, in turn, results in safer and more efficient transportation for those who live in or near the new development area. We have included only limited transportation comments in this letter because we are concurrently working with the City through the County's plat review process. Response: The cooperative effort between the County and the City through the current plat review process, as well as the previous Yankee Doodle Road Corridor Study and other ongoing transportation management efforts, is strongly supported by the proposed extension of Duckwood Drive to Wescott Woodlands. This new street construction will provide the opportunity for local trips to stay on local streets, allowing the County highways to be more fully utilized for regional trips.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize the approval of a Letter of Intent with Harris Mechanical Services to begin Phase I Feasibility Study and Engineering Design as part of the Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Program: Ground Source Heat Pumps Grant awarded to the Eagan Civic Arena and direct the Mayor to sign the appropriate documents. FACTS: The City Council approved the submission of an application for a 50% matching grant for the replacement of existing compressors, boilers and domestic hot water heaters within the ice arena with a centralized geothermal heat pump system on August 3. The application was submitted by Harris Mechanical Services on August 6. On October 30 staff was notified that the application had been selected for negotiations leading to an award of $1.338 million; 50% of an estimated $2.67 million project. This grant award was one of 37 demonstration projects awarded in the United States and the only one in this category in Minnesota. Of 88 total grants issued nationwide in 6 geothermal categories, only 3 of them are in Minnesota. The University of Minnesota and Honeywell are the other two grant recipients. The Letter of Intent requested will begin the Phase I process which includes the engineering review to narrow the actual costs and to finalize energy rebates that are expected to be significant. An existing arena that recently moved to geothermal has seen almost total elimination of natural gas costs over the past year. After the engineering process is completed and the actual costs are clearer, the City can choose not to proceed with the grant however engineering fees up to a maximum of $25,000 would be owed to Harris Mechanical Services. The cost of Harris Mechanical's services is included in the grant application as an eligible expenditure. The final cost is determined by the scope of services following completion of the engineering study. St? The annual energy savings, paybacks, and pricing resulting from the improvements are guaranteed by Harris Mechanical. As part of the engineering study the west rink floor will also be looked at to assess how or if there may be efficiencies in repairing it to maximize the energy enhancements proposed. While this repair cannot be included as part of the geothermal grant, it will be a consideration in energy conservation calculations.

Agenda Memo November 19, 2009 Regular City Council Meeting M AUTHORIZE the Submission of a Forest Protection, Planning and Preparedness Grant Application ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize staff to prepare and submit a grant application to the Mn Department of Agriculture for a Forest Protection Reserve Planning and Preparedness Grant and authorize the Director of Parks and Recreation to sign the application documents on behalf of the City. The grant monies are to be used to plan and implement a City program to manage and control the spread of Emerald Ash Bore. The deadline for application is November 20. FACTS Emerald Ash Bore (EAB) has been determined to be a lethal pest to Ash trees and has devastated Ash tree populations in several states. EAB spreads rapidly through a variety of means including, self flight, on fire wood, in rough wood products attaching itself to vehicles and equipment. Earlier this year, an EAB infestation was found within less than ten miles of the Eagan border, it is highly likely the infestation will eventually reach Eagan. The EAB has no known natural predator and can lay dormant in a tree for several years before symptoms become obvious, an infestation in a tree is most always fatal. Currently, the most efficient means of control and containment of EAB is to implement a strategy that includes the removal of weakened/susceptible trees and pre- infestation chemical treatment of healthy trees. Of the approximately 17,000 inventoried boulevard trees in the City, over 3500 are Ash trees, approximately 10% of all park trees are Ash, the number of Ash on private property is unknown but is quite high. City staff began the chemical treatment of park trees park trees this year on a trial basis. The grant would be used to implement an expanded program of removal and chemical control for several hundred of the Ash trees on public property including parks and boulevards with a goal of controlling /containing the spread of the infestation. The determination of which trees are removed or treated would be based upon a widely used and recognized "condition index" that has already been applied to most all Ash trees on City property; mature trees scoring highly would be treated while those with a low score would generally be removed. iaI The grant is for 85% of the program cost, the local share of 15% can include in -kind labor by City staff, the cost of supplies and/or cash, at this time need for a cash match is seen as being unlikely. The program would be implemented in 2010 and include a combination of contractual services and staff. Staff is preparing a grant application for a program that would cost $100,000/ $85,000 to be paid by a grant, the local share of $15,000 being supplies and in -kind labor services. The grant is competitive with no guarantee of an award, should the application be successful, the Council will be consulted prior to formal acceptance. Efforts to control EAB will be ongoing for years, avoidance of any impact is unlikely ATTACHMENTS: None 70 Agenda Information Memo November 17, 2009 Eagan City Council Meeting N.

FACTS: Contract 09 -14 provided for the construction of 10 rain garden sites located within the Golden Meadow neighborhood located north of Schwanz Lake, within the nearly 32 acres that presently drain overland directly into the lake. This work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The total cost for the rain garden site construction was $57,610.93, or 4.5% less than the bid amount of $60,347.16 These improvements have been completed, inspected by representatives of the Public Works Department, and found to be in order for favorable Council action of final payment and acceptance for perpetual maintenance subject to warranty provisions. 7S_ Agenda Information Memo November 17, 2009 Eagan City Council Meeting Q. APPROVE RECORDS ACCESS AGREEMENT WITH MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF VEHICLE SERVICES ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) to allow access to certain records and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has initiated a pilot program with the DVS to improve the accuracy of data related to motor vehicle crashes which occur in the City of Eagan. If this Pilot Program is found to be successful, other county and municipal agencies across the state will be allowed to make use of the process. Annually, the Engineering Division analyzes large quantities of historical motor vehicle crash data to determine general trends in crash and severity rates. Recently, more detailed analyses of smaller quantities of historical crash data have been performed to identify trends in crash types and contributing factors at specific locations. The results of the analyses are then used to determine if potential countermeasures are necessary and cost effective. An overwhelming majority of the data contained in the historical crash reports is accurate. However, the data relative to the crash location is sometimes inaccurate reducing efficiency and effectiveness of this process. Currently, the DVS receives Motor Vehicle Crash Reports from across the state and records the location of the crash based on information in the report. While this process is relatively accurate for crashes which occur at major intersections, it is more complicated and less accurate for crashes that occur at less major intersection and non intersection locations. The proposed Pilot Program would provide specific Public Works employee(s) access to the DVS motor vehicle crash data so they can identify the actual crash location on future motor vehicle crash reports for crashes which occur within the City. It is anticipated that the accuracy of crash location data will be improved due to the familiarity of City staff with the City's transportation network. The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and Public Works Department and is in order for favorable Council action. 70 Agenda Information Memo November 17, 2009 Eagan City Council Meeting ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve an amendment to the Development Agreement providing for the further extension of contract completion dates for Oak Hills Church 2 Addition (City Project No. 06 -N) to June 1, 2009. FACTS: Oak Hills 2 Addition is a 2 -lot single family residential subdivision located east of Coachman Road and south of Yankee Doodle Road, near the City's Maintenance Facility. The development agreement approved by the Council on Dec. 17, 2007 required the installation of a public sidewalk along Coachman Road, individual sanitary sewer water services, grading/ erosion control, lot corners, and mailbox supports to be performed privately by the developer under the terms and conditions of the development contract. On December 18, 2008, the City Council approved an amendment to the development contract to allow for extension of the completion dates for the remaining improvements identified in the development contract due to poor economic conditions. Pastor Rodney Carlson of Oak Hills Church, owner and developer of the Oak Hills Church 2 Addition, has requested a further extension of the completion dates for the remaining improvements identified in the development contract, again due to current economic conditions. The request is to extend the completion dates from June 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. The Church has requested the City install the improvements in Spring 2010, and levy the costs of the improvements as a special assessment. The City will continue to hold a financial guarantee to ensure completion of these improvements in accordance with the Oak Hills Church 2nd Addition development contract, until the special assessment is levied against the properties.

Two Oak Hills Church Board members met with you on October 26, 2009 to discuss the current situation with the 2 residential lots that were approved as part the 2 °d Addition. As was discussed Oak Hills Church received an extension on the dates to complete the public improvements to June 30, 2009 (we had requested a date of October 31, 2009). The lots are located on the southwest corner of our property located at Yankee Doodle Road and Coachman Road. The Development Agreement required that we complete the improvements by August 2008. Based on the current economic times, our Church has yet been able to raise sufficient funds to develop these lots into the vision for our Church. The vision is to construct homes on these sites that could be used by missionaries on leave from the field. This continues to be our vision, but the timing seems to be slipping at this time. We request that the City of Eagan extend the time to complete the development to June 30, 2010. Per our discussion, we also request that the City of Eagan construct the water and sewer services to these lots. We are in receipt of the quotes that you received for these services. While we understand that the market is good for public works projects, we also all recognized that we are likely paying for cold weather concrete and pavement work. It was also discussed, that impacting the road to your access to the public works facility this late in the fall could be problematic for the City. We hope and believe that this will give us sufficient time to raise the money to complete the vision. Please review this request and let us know if you need anything to complete this request. Please call the Church office or Paul Danielson (our Church Building Committee representative) at 651- 643 -0407 if you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you for your consideration.

CONSIDER ADDITIONAL SUSPENSION OF THE OFF -SALE LIQUOR LICENSE OR REVOKE THE OFF -SALE LIQUOR LICENSE FOR BRAR ENTERPRISES, INC. DBA BLACKHAWK LIQUOR WINE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To impose no additional penalties upon the licensee. Or To adopt Findings of Fact and Resolution to impose additional restrictions on the licensee to include up to an additional 30 days suspension of the off -sale license. Or To adopt Findings of Fact and Resolution to revoke the off -sale liquor license. FACTS: Bold information is new information not provided in the November 5, 2009 City Council packet. At the November 5, 2009 City Council meeting, the Council directed that a hearing be conducted by the Council at the November 17, 2009 City Council meeting. The licensee was noticed of this hearing. In advance of the hearing, the licensee met with staff on November 10, 2009 and submitted information on the history of the licensee and the business, which is enclosed. In addition to the 30 -day suspension of the liquor license which was imposed for the fourth violation, a $1,600 civil penalty was also imposed. The monetary penalty must be paid within 30 days of the date of the violation notice, which was October 5. Payment was due by November 4. To date, payment of the civil penalty has not been received. On September 1, 2009, Brar Enterprises, Inc., dba Blackhawk Liquor Wine, was cited for a fourth alcohol sales violation within a 36 -month period. Per Eagan City Code, Chapter 5, Section 5.02, Subdivision 4 (G), a civil penalty of $2,000 and 30 days suspension of the license, unless a greater civil penalty, suspension or revocation is otherwise determined by City Council, shall be imposed upon a licensee upon the fourth or more violation within a 36 -month period. The forgoing penalties shall not restrict the City Council from ordering the revocation of the license, suspension of the license for up to 60 days, a civil penalty up to $2,000 or impose any combination thereof. Section 5.03 of the Eagan City Code, states that no suspension or revocation of a license or civil penalty shall take effect until the licensee has been given an opportunity for a hearing. The licensee was afforded the right to a hearing to appeal this matter but did not request one. OD The fourth violation involved the licensee obtaining alcohol from another retailer for the purpose of resale, which is a violation of MS 340A.415 and Eagan City Code Chapter 5, Section 5.02, Subdivision 4 (G). This violation was discovered by an agent of the Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division on September 1, 2009. At the time of the infraction, the licensee was on the Minnesota Department of Revenue Liquor Posting tax delinquent list and is still identified as being on this list, which means that no liquor deliveries can be made to the establishment until the tax delinquency has been satisfied. The three previous alcohol sales violations occurred as follows: July 18, 2007 bought liquor at retail for the purpose of resale; March 15, 2008 sale of alcohol to a minor and July 17, 2008 sale of alcohol to a minor. As a result of the fourth violation, the off -sale liquor license for Brar Enterprises, Inc. was suspended by the City on October 19, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. for a period of 30 days. The suspension will end on November 17, 2009 at midnight. Additionally, the licensee is required to pay a civil penalty of $1,600 to the City no later than November 4, 2009. Minnesota Statute 340A.415 does not allow a civil penalty greater than $2,000 to be imposed for each violation. Per the notice of violation that was issued by the State of Minnesota on September 25, 2009, the licensee was fined $400 for violation of state law. As such, the City could only impose a civil penalty of $1,600 so as not to exceed the $2,000 cap established by state law. Aside from the 30 -day suspension and $1,600 civil penalty already imposed upon Brar Enterprises, Inc., the City Council could 1) choose to impose no additional penalties, 2) suspend the off -sale liquor license up to an additional 30 days or 3) order the revocation.

Bauer, City Attorney 4S History of Jess Brar and Blackhawk Liquor Wine Jess Brar —1768 Talon Trail, Eagan, MN. I have lived and worked in the Eagan area since 1997. Purchased Blackhawk Liquor in January 1999 with support of my parents. At the time the business was also a small Eagan family business since 1994. Over the course of the next 7 years we increased the physical size of business, more than doubled gross sales, and created a good viable family business that the whole neighborhood felt happy with. We sponsored many local softball teams, did what we could for the community, and hired people from the surrounding area. We always did what we could to join with other small business owners in supporting each other, cross advertising, or recommending them. I personally felt the obligation to do as much as possible to keep my spending in the city and local stores. Out of the 20+ full part time employees we have had, everyone has been from the Eagan area, most also have family and friends in the city, giving the store a sense of community and kept business in the area. Also, this network of employees, their families, their friends, and my family gained an understanding of local business and supporting them. With the idea of starting up a different business in the area, we decided to sell the business to another family looking to run their own business, and sold the store in spring of 2006. I provided the financing for the new owner and offered any assistance I could. Unfortunately, the community did not take to the new owner very well, and he refused my help. In a matter of about 10 months he managed to ruin the business by over 50 lost the customer base, and defaulted on his financial agreement with me. Rather than bankrupt the man with a wife and 2 small children, I repossessed the store and let him out of his agreement in the spring of 2007. 9le After taking over the business, I once again set out to reopen, but he had left me with $1000.00 in city fines which I paid to get a new license, taken sold most everything from the store including inventory and left me having to spend $50,000.00+ just to open. With the Toss of business, financial hole, and no employees I sent out to rebuild. This was just the beginning of my problems. The task was extremely hard. I hired an employee out of haste and he received a sales violation, he was fired immediately. Over the year I seemed to be gaining some ground. The business seemed on the verge of turning around. I had to leave the country for a few weeks for family reasons in early 2008, and while gone we received a second sales violation. During the rest of 2008 the economy seemed to drop. Every effort to keep the business moving failed, and my parents and I kept pouring more and more money in to stay afloat. By the early 2009 we were about $100,000.00 in debt and no relief in sight. Everyday expenses, rent, utilities, taxes could not be paid, and we could not afford to buy inventory and bills had piled up. All year long we have fought to survive. The business value dropped so low that we cannot afford to sell; bankruptcy would mean that my whole family would suffer (my wife, baby on the way, my parents). The third and fourth violations were of hardship and inability, not by any purposeful intent. My parents have not been able to physically be around to assist due to medical reasons, leaving it more difficult to watch over everything as well as we would like. I would like to think that I in some small way can be good for my community. I have made some mistakes, but hope that in continuing to be a business owner in the area I do everything I can to be beneficial to the city rather than a detriment. I just recently will been able to pay a good size part of my debt, including the back sales taxes that I owed which is the first step to clearing up my responsibilities. My wish is to prove myself as an upstanding member of the community and to show other small businesses that hard times can be overcome. 97 Blackhawk Liquor Wine Plan of Action In the past I have during the interview process stated with no uncertain terms that the employee and myself is responsible to verify every customer purchase, that we both can incur legal fines, and that the employee will be fired if found selling to a minor. Also, I have them read our alcohol policy handbook. I do my best to watch over the employee and customers to make sure ID's are looked at. Currently, the financial situation of my parents and me has caused other violations to occur that must be dealt with. We have never been in this kind of situation before. Personally and professionally my parents and I have done well. These past 24 months have caused extremely difficulty and hardship, but that is no excuse. We have come up with a plan to help rectify the situation. Finalize payment of all back taxes, along with any penalties or fines. This to be completed by November 16 This has been possible buy the sale of a small condo finalized in mid October that was on the market for two years. Sales tax payment will be made first priority in expenses and a separate bank account will be kept for daily weekly deposits of taxes for future payments. My training of employees must change. At this time 1 (Jess Brar) am the only employee. ALL new or returning employees must complete an online or attended course in alcoholic beverage sales. They must follow the guidelines of the employee alcohol policy handbook. I must immediately have a rule that EVERY PERSON must have proper ID, no exceptions, no excuse that the customer has been carded in the past. qe Have update and reoccurring sessions about liquor sales and legal responsibility, every 60 to 90 days or earlier based on the possible turn over of employees. I will purchase an ID verification system, an ID card scanner ($500 $1000) or preferably a new computer system that requires you swipe an ID before any sale is recorded (approx $3000). Either item will be beneficial in assisting me in complying with the rules, One of these items WILL be purchased, which one will depend on finances. Ideally, I would want the computer system, but would not be able to purchase until the store reopens to create a proper budget. The ID scanner is fine but does not help to resolve the issue completely. Any other recommendation would be greatly appreciated and taken to heart.

PROJECT 981, RAHNCLIFF ROAD/ CLIFF LAKE ROAD RAHN ROAD STREET OVERLAY/ LANDSCAPE MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS FINAL ASSESSMENT HEARING ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the Final Assessment Roll for Project 981 (Rahncliff Road/Cliff Lake Road /Rahn Road Street Improvements) as presented and authorize its certification to Dakota County for collection; OR 1) Approve the Final Assessment Roll for Project 981 (Rahncliff Road /Cliff Lake Road/Rahn Road Street Improvements) for the Residential and Public Facilities properties only, authorizing its certification to Dakota County for collection and, direct the preparation of a revised Final Assessment Roll for Project 981 for the remaining Commercial properties and schedule a new Final Assessment Hearing to be held on December 15, 2009. AND (if appropriate) 2) Direct a Supplemental Assessment Hearing to be held on December 15, 2009 for Project 972 (Lone Oak/Waters Area) and Project 978 (Eagandale LeMay Lake). FACTS: Project 981 provided for the street improvements of Rahncliff Road, Cliff Lake Road and Rahn Road, along with landscape median improvements on Cliff Lake Road, in southwest Eagan. The Final Assessment Roll was presented to the City Council on October 20, 2009, with a public hearing scheduled for November 17 to formally present the final costs associated with this public improvement to the affected benefiting properties. The final assessment cost is approximately 16% less than the estimated benefit amounts that were presented at the original Public Hearing on March 3, 2009. All notices have been published in the legal papers and sent to all affected property owners informing them of this public hearing. An informational meeting was held on November 10 to address all property owners' questions or concerns and provide any additional information of interest. Of the 213 parcels (3 Single Family Residential, 178 Townhome, 28 Commercial/ Industrial, 2 City Park, 2 Public Facility) being assessed, one resident attended the meeting and one business representative contacted staff directly. (continued on next page) l/3 Agenda Information Memo November 17, 2009 Eagan City Council Meeting C. PROJECT 981, RAHNCLIFF ROAD/ CLIFF LAKE ROAD RAHN ROAD STREET OVERLAY/ LANDSCAPE MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS FINAL ASSESSMENT HEARING (continued from pervious page) ISSUES: The property owner at 1965 Cliff Lake Road (Cliff Lake Marketplace) is objecting to the gross area method for spreading the assessment for the street and landscape median improvements. The owner feels the gross area method is not equitable to this property because approximately one -half of the property is covered by ponding easement. The gross area method of assessment was most recently applied for similar street improvement Project 972 Lone Oak/ Waters Area and Project 978 Eagandale LeMay Lake (Final Assessment Hearings Oct. 20, 2009). At the Public Hearing for Project 972, the issue of gross area versus net area was also raised by an affected property owner. With limited historical past precedence to the contrary, the City Council sustained the proposed gross area method of special assessment and approved the final assessment rolls for both projects as presented. Upon subsequent research and investigation by staff, it has been determined that the Special Assessment Policy does provide credit for dedicated ponding easements when calculating and allocating special assessments on an area basis. This policy was inadvertently not applied to the 3 projects in question (Proj 972, 978 981). In order to have the ponding area credits properly applied where the Final Assessment Roll has already been adopted (i.e. reduce the certified assessment to the affected properties), it would require a new "Supplemental Assessment" hearing to allow the proportionate reallocation of the related assessments credits to the remaining parcels within each respective project (i.e. increase the certified assessments). For Project 981, where the Final Assessment Roll has not yet been adopted, it would require the re- notification of a new Public Hearing to present a Revised Final Assessment Roll for formal certification. The ponding credits do not affect the proposed assessments for the Residential and Public Facility (i.e. non commercial) properties, allowing those parcels to have their assessments adopted and certified as presented. The amounts of ponding credit to be reallocated for each of these 3 Projects are identified as follows: o Project 972 (Lone Oak/Waters) $61,857 o Project 978 (Eagandale /LeMay Lake) $7,050 o Project 981 (Cliff Lake /Rahn Cliff) $54,940 ATTACHMENTS: Project 981 proposed Final Assessment Report (All Property Types), pages (GS through Project 981 Final Assessment Report (Residential and Public Facility), pages(a7 through( 3 9 Proj 981 Final Assessment Report (Commercial), pages fqt hrougli Neighborhood Meeting Minutes, pageI j through/ ca Number: Project 981 Name: Rahncliff/ Cliff Lk Rd/ Rahn Rd Project Approval Date: March 3, 2009 Street Improvements SANITARY SEWER Trunk Lateral Service Lat.

Feasibility Report) City of EaQall VeMo To: Mayor and City Council From: John Gorder, Assistant City Engineer Date: October 22, 2009 Subject: Final Assessment Roll, Project 981 Rahncliff/ Cliff Lake Road/ Rahn Road Street Overlay Landscape Median Improvements At the public hearing on March 3, 2009, the City Council ordered Project 981, and in accordance with the feasibility report, the following improvements were constructed on Rahncliff/ Cliff Lake Road/ Rahn Road: mill and overlay and replacement of traffic and street signage, repair of curb and gutter/ concrete entrance aprons as needed. In the feasibility report, it was proposed to assess 100% to the commercial/ industrial properties and 75% to the public facility properties of the street overlay and signage and concrete entrance apron improvements, in accordance with the City Special Assessment Policy. Also, median landscape improvements on Cliff Lake Road were approved as an alternate by the City Council. It was proposed to assess 100% of the median landscape improvements to the commercial/ industrial properties adjacent to Cliff Lake Road. All improvements were completed under Contract 09 -10. The following information was used in the preparation of the assessment roll for Project 981. PROJECT COST The construction cost includes the amount of $599,568.68 paid to the contractors for the construction of the improvements. Traffic and street signage was installed at a cost of $18,113.37. Other costs including engineering, design, contract management, inspections, financing, legal, bonding, administration, and other totaling $164,362.29 were incurred resulting in an improvement and project cost of $782,044.34. The detail of these other costs is provided on Schedule I. These other costs are allocated to the improvements constructed in order to determine the cost of each improvement and the assessment rate.

CONFERENCE ROOM 1— CITY HALL Attendance: John Gorder, Assistant City Engineer, 1 person representing 1 property (see attached sign -in sheet). Gorder welcomed the resident and provided a brief project review. Questions/ Comments from Residents Why is my property (4431 Lakeshore Terrace) being assessed $400 versus the $150 assessed to the adjoining townhome units? The property (now used as a single family home) lies within the Cliff Lake Shores townhome neighborhood, and is guided in the City Comprehensive Guide Plan to be developed to a townhome use. Because of the current use and the fact that the property could be easily subdivided into at least 2 lots, it is proposed to assess the property for two single family lot equivalents ($200.42 each).

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT RESOLUTION REGARDING THE HEARING OFFICER'S DECISION REGARDING RELOCATION ASSISTANCE TO MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To adopt a resolution accepting the Finding of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Recommendations from the Administrative Hearing Officer, as modified by the EDA, for the relocation benefit appeal of the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe. FACTS: As part of the development of Cedar Grove, the EDA acquired the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe property located at 3945 Sibley Memorial Highway. As part of the eminent domain acquisition process, the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe is eligible for relocation benefits including business reestablishment, searching expenses, and moving expenses. The EDA retained Dan Wilson at Wilson Development Services to provide relocation assistance to Mediterranean Cruise Cafe. Mediterranean Cruise Cafe submitted relocation claims totaling $429,796.62. The EDA made the following advanced relocation benefits to Mediterranean Cruise Cafe: $10,000.00 $2,500.00 $21,900.00 $50,000.00 $84,400.00 Following the completed move to the new facility in Burnsville, Mediterranean Cruise Cafe refined its relocation claims and submitted claims totaling $386,993.03. The EDA, through its Relocation Consultant, recommended approval of $67,547.55 of the claims. The Mediterranean Cruise Cafe appealed the decision of the Relocation Consultant and an administrative hearing was held before attorney Corrine Heine of Kennedy and Graven. The hearings were conducted on August 11 and August 12, 2009 and in her decision, the hearing officer made a recommendation that the EDA should pay $105,366.94 of the claimed $386,993.03. The EDA's Relocation Consultant recommended that the EDA reimburse Mediterranean Cruise Cafe for $40,559.33 for claims that were not appealed thereby bringing the total relocation claim to $145,926.27. With the EDA already having advanced the sum of $84,400.00, the hearing officer concluded that there was an outstanding balance of $61,526.27 that should be paid. The EDA also provided payment in the amount of $37,905.88 subsequent to the hearing as an additional advance. Because the hearing officer was unaware of the most recent advance, there is only an unpaid balance of $26,620.39 that is due to Mediterranean Cruise Cafe. The proposed resolution notes this modification. Business Reestablishment Search Expenses SAC fees Advance on Moving Expenses In addition, the hearing officer recommended payment of one claim only if the appropriate documentation was provided. However, in paragraph 23 of her Order, there is no requirement for the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe to provide such documentation. The City Attorney is recommending that payment of that amount be made upon presentation of such documentation. With the two modifications, it is appropriate to consider acceptance of the hearing officer's recommendation. Under the administrative act, the decision from the hearing officer shall constitute the final decision unless the EDA modifies or rejects the recommendation with 90 days from the close of the record (August 19, 2009). Because this item relates to pending litigation (the appeal), if the EDA has questions about the action item or wishes to discuss the matter in advance of taking action, it may adjourn to executive session for that purpose. If not, the resolution is in order for consideration.

The Claimant Mediterranean Cruise Cafe (MCC) is a restaurant business that was located at 3945 Sibley Memorial Highway, Eagan, MN 55122 (the "Eagan site from 1979 until June 9, 2009. 2. MCC was displaced from the Eagan site as a result of a redevelopment project and eminent domain acquisition by the Respondent Eagan Economic Development Authority "EDA 3. MCC relocated to 12500 Nicollet Avenue in Burnsville, Minnesota. 4. The MCC submitted three separate claims to the EDA for reimbursement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 117.52 through 117.56: March 17, 2009 for $245,416.06; May 29, 2009 for $191,314.47; and June 9, 2009 for $3,895.00. 5. The EDA approved relocation payments in the amount of $120,606.88 and has paid a total of $84,400.00 in claims. The EDA denied the remainder of MCC's claims. 6. The MCC appealed the EDA's denial of the claims and requested an administrative hearing. 2 /(Q7 7. The MCC's claims for reimbursement initially totaled $440,625.53. At the relocation hearing and afterward, the MCC and EDA modified their positions on several claims so that there remain a total of 17 claim items in dispute, totaling $429,796.62. 8. The administrative record closed at the conclusion of the August 12, 2009 administrative hearing, with the exception of certain corrections and updates that the parties agreed to complete and exchange with each other and the AHO by August 19, 2009. Background Facts; Eminent Domain 9. Jamal Ansari is the owner of the MCC. He and two brothers opened the MCC in 1979 at the Eagan site. Mr. Ansari purchased the business from his brothers in 1987. 10. The building on the Eagan site was one story, approximately 2,850 gross square feet in area. The kitchen had 1,036 square feet and the restaurant and bar area 1,534 square feet. The restaurant had seating for 110 patrons indoors and 40 patrons at an outdoor patio. The restaurant area had a small dance platform for use by belly dance entertainers. The restaurant ambience was informal and consistent with a neighborhood bar /restaurant. Although appropriately maintained, the building showed its age of over 30 years, with 8 -10 foot ceilings, a relatively small dining area, and modest furnishings. 11. The MCC was displaced from the Eagan site as a result of the EDA's acquisition of the site for a redevelopment project. Mr. Ansari testified that for over six years prior to the MCC being displaced, the EDA had expressed an interest in acquiring the Eagan site for redevelopment. 12. In July 2007, Mr. Ansari first contacted the City of Burnsville about possibly relocating the MCC to the City of Burnsville development area known as the "Heart of the City." 13. On September 14, 2007, the EDA made a formal written offer to MCC's attorney to acquire the Eagan site. 3 14. The EDA initiated eminent domain proceedings in 2007 to acquire the Eagan site and other properties in connection with a redevelopment project. 15. The Dakota County district court issued an initial order in the condemnation proceeding on February 5, 2008. In that order, the Court determined that the action met the requirements of 2006 Minn. Laws c. 214, sec. 22(b)(2), which excepted certain projects from the application of that 2006 Minn. Laws. c. 214 (the "2006 Legislation 16. The February 5, 2008 order approved the petition and appointed commissioners to determine damages, but it expressly deferred ruling as to seven properties, including the Eagan site. The evidence introduced at the hearing did not disclose the date of a subsequent order approving the petition as to the Eagan site, but it is undisputed that the EDA subsequently acquired the Eagan site through the eminent domain proceedings. 17. The record does not disclose the specific date upon which the EDA acquired title to the Eagan site; however, Mr. Ansari testified that the property was acquired in 2008 and that MCC remained in possession of the Eagan site, rent -free, for approximately one year following the transfer of title. 18. The court- appointed commissioners in the condemnation action filed their award of damages with respect to the taking of the Eagan site on October 17, 2008, in the total amount of $813,500.00, of which $748,000.00 was designated for land and building, $65,000.00 was designated for trade fixtures, and $500.00 was designated for reimbursement of appraisal fees. The award clearly identifies the specific fixtures acquired by the EDA in the condemnation proceeding, and it is undisputed that Appellant's relocation claim does not include claims for fixtures acquired by condemnation. 4 /6,7 Judicial Notice; Legislative History 19. In 2008, while the eminent domain action was pending and before MCC had moved from the Eagan site, the Minnesota legislature enacted into law Senate File No. 2379, as 2008 Minn. Laws c. 312 "S.F. 2379" or the "2008 Legislation 20. The AHO takes judicial notice of the legislative history for S.F. 2379, as obtained from the official websites of the Minnesota House and Minnesota Senate. 21. Senator Thomas Bakk was the author in the Senate of S.F. 2379. The bill was introduced on February 12, 2008 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. As originally introduced and as finally enacted, the legislation included two sections, each of which stated that it was "effective retroactively from January 16, 2007." 22. The Senate Judiciary Committee heard the bill on February 19, 2008. The audio recording of the committee hearing (Part 1 of audio, at approx. 03:10) includes the following comments by Senator Bakk: Madam Chair and Committee members. When we did the eminent domain reform in 2006, we cleaned up some of the language in law relative to eminent domain and one of the things that inadvertently happened was ...previously we had the legislature had authorized up to $50,000 to be paid for relocation of existing businesses, and somehow in the process of cleaning up some language, we inadvertently eliminated that, and what ends up happening was we fall back under federal law, where federal like highway projects where there is federal money that applies, and the reimbursement goes down to $10,000, which is what there is under federal law. So, we've got a number of projects that have gone forward that the relocation benefit we've paid is not the higher $50,000 number that we had always paid but because of the clean up language we're now only authorized to pay $10,000. So this just corrects something that we believe inadvertently happened in the 2006 bill. The only other comments on the bill were by Senator Moua, the chair of the committee, who summed up the legislation as follows just before calling for the vote: 5 170 Any questions for Senator Bakk? Again, this is one of those situations where I think the law doesn't reflect what we actually wanted to do and we are just making that correction. 23. S.F. 2379 received second reading in the Senate on February 25, 2008 and third reading on February 28, 2008. At third reading, Senator Bakk made the following comments on the floor of the Senate, according to the audio recording of that session (approx. 0:7:10: of audio): Thank you, Mr. President and Members. In 2006 when we did the eminent domain reform legislation, we cleaned up a bunch of language, old language and law, that wasn't needed any longer. And what happened was we inadvertently deleted a provision that changed the relocation benefits that a business can receive when they are being relocated under an eminent domain proceedings. So under the old law, we were able to a local unit of government or MnDOT was able to pay them $50,000. We never had any discussion about changing that number but inadvertently the number got reduced to $10,000. MnDOT is actually the one who brought me this bill and said they've actually had several businesses that they were only able to pay $10,000 to because of the inadvertent drafting change. There is no opposition to the bill. It just reinstates current law of offering $50,000 relocation to businesses affected by eminent domain. The Senate passed S.F. 2379 on a vote of 60 -0. 24. The companion bill to S.F. 2379 in the House was H.F. 2789, authored by Representative David Dill. H.F. 2798 was introduced in the House on February 12, 2008 and referred to the House Public Safety and Civil Justice Committee. H.F. 2789 received no further action, but on March 3, 2008, the House received S.F. 2379 and referred it to the Public Safety and Civil Justice Committee. 25. At the hearing before the Public Safety and Civil Justice Committee on March 13, 2008 (audio, at approx. 03:26:10), Representative Dill made the following introductory comments: This is a product of the drafting error that was done in the eminent domain bill that was passed a couple of years ago and it was in the past that a business that was relocated by acquiring right of way, when they required a right of way on a highway 6 l2( when a business had to be relocated the Department does provide $50,000 worth of assistance to that business. And so when it was drafted improperly in the past in the eminent domain bill because it didn't include the language to allow the $50,000 reimbursement, we defaulted back to the federal requirements in federal law, which is $10,000. And so what we're doing here is we're fixing a problem we created in the eminent domain bill through this calamity of errors that caused this to be the problem, and that's essentially the entire bill. 26. The House gave S.F. 2379 a second reading on March 18, 2008 and re- referred the bill to the Local Government and Metropolitan Affairs Committee. 27. On March 19, 2008, the Local Government and Metropolitan Affairs (audio, at approx. 00:00), without any substantive comment, recommended passage and be placed on the consent calendar. S.F. 2379 received second reading before the House on March 27, 2008. 28. S.F. 2379 came before House for third reading on April 10, 2008 (video, approx: 10:24:05). At that time, Rep Dill offered an amendment on the floor:, to add a third section to the effect that the bill would not apply to projects described in Laws 2006, chapter 214, section 22, paragraph (b). Rep. Dill introduced the bill and amendment as follows: Rep. Dill: Madam Speaker. Could I just explain the bill and then the amendment will make sense? ...When the eminent domain bill was passed in 2006, there was a $50,000 limitation on relocation expenses to businesses that are relocated after an eminent domain proceeding for MnDOT and state projects. But because of the way the bill was placed in statute, it made it only applicable to state projects so after the 35 bridge collapsed and they started acquiring right of way and doing some condemnations down along the bridge area there, it came to light that they didn't have the authority to pay the $50,000. So we're restoring that authority and that is what the bill does. Madam Speaker: The Clerk will report the amendment: Clerk: Representative Dill moving to amend Senate File 2379 as follows: The amendment is coded HDA584. Madam Speaker: Representative Dill Rep. Dill: ...In the language as the language was read by various cities, they were concerned that cities that were doing redevelopment districts and acquiring right of way in those redevelopment districts that they thought that they might have to go 7 17 a back and retroactively pay the larger amount than they'd already paid when they made their deal in these redevelopments such as the TIFs and things of that nature. So this amendment just clarifies that it does not apply to cities who are in the process of doing redevelopment and using the eminent domain statutes. 29. Upon questioning by Representative Kohls about the retroactivity date of January 16, 2009, Representative Dill responded: Yes, we have that, and the date of January 16, 2007 date has to do with some of the acquisitions relating to the bridge problem. The House passed the bill as amended, 133 -0. 30. The Senate did not confer in the House amendment, and both the House and Senate appointed conference committees on April 24, 2008. 31. On May 5, 5005, the conference committee gave its report, with the House acceding to the Senate version of the bill. The AHO did not locate any on -line audio or video recording of the conference committee hearing on the bill. 32. The Senate re- passed the bill on third reading on May 5, 2008, on a vote of 65 -0. (Video, 00:25:57) Sen. Bakk introduced the bill, stating: Members, what you're voting on is the same language that passed the Senate. This is the small little technical change in the eminent domain law that we passed in 2006 where we had inadvertently deleted a provision from law that established $50,000 as the relocation cost for a business and the House had put an amendment on it and saw the Senate's wisdom in conference, and were willing to take their amendment off, so it's the same language that you passed earlier. 33. The House adopted the conference committee report and passed the legislation on May 8, 2008, on a vote of 134 -0. (Video at 02:01:05). Representative Dill commented on the work of the conference committee as follows: This is the eminent domain bill which has to do with the going back and paying the people for the land and future people when we condemned their land for business purposes and getting it back up to the regular $50,000 back and when we did the bill on the floor, when it left the House floor, I put an amendment on it that we'd believed it was a technical amendment. It ended up we did not need the amendment. 8 173 In the conference committee we removed the amendment. It was a very small technical amendment. Representative Kohls, if you were ever asked a question about the retroactive date, we took that back off. It's the original bill as drafted. I urge you to adopt the report. All of the conferees signed the report. 34. The Governor signed the legislation on May 15, 2008. Relocation Assistance 35. The EDA retained Daniel Wilson of Wilson Development Services to serve as the EDA's consultant with respect to the provision of relocation services and benefits. 36. The EDA provided the MCC with written notice that it was eligible for relocation assistance on November 27, 2007. 37. According to Mr. Ansari, Mr. Wilson first contacted him in 2007 regarding the relocation of the MCC. It was unclear from the testimony, but Mr. Ansari may have been referring to the written notice of eligibility. 38. Mr. Wilson testified that his initial in- person meeting was with Mr. Ansari's attorney, and that he was told not to contact Mr. Ansari directly. Mr. Ansari was represented at the time by the attorney who assisted him in negotiating for the purchase of his relocation site. At some later date, Mr. Ansari retained Mr. Schnitker. Mr. Wilson testified that he had "nominal" direct contact with Mr. Ansari but that he had at least six meetings with Mr. Ansari's legal counsel. 39. Representatives of the EDA, including Community Development Director Hohenstein and Wilson Development Services, provided Mr. Ansari with referrals of possible replacement sites that were available. Documented referrals were made on January 10 and 11 and April 8, 21, and 30, all in 2008. (Claimant Exh. Book, p. 209). Mr. Hohenstein also testified to several other referrals that he had made on unspecified dates in conversation with Mr. Ansari. 9 114 40. Mr. Ansari retained Sabongi Consulting Group, Inc. and Farid Sabongi, architect, to assist him in locating replacement properties. Mr. Sabongi and Mr. Ansari both testified that Mr. Ansari desired to purchase rather than lease. Both testified that the criteria that they used for evaluating replacement sites were: location close to Eagan site; close to highway and visible; adequate parking; outdoor patio space. 41. The EDA referred more than 12 properties to Mr. Ansari for his consideration. (Claimant Exh. Book, p. 209). Mr. Ansari found nearly all of them unacceptable for one or more of the following reasons: available for lease but not purchase; not a freestanding building; too small; no patio; not visible from Highway 13; a ramp instead of a surface parking lot; too distant from the Eagan site. 42. Two sites that were available for purchase but were ultimately rejected were a former Baker's Square building at 1960 Rahncliffe Court in Eagan, and another property at Highway 149 and Lone Oak Road, also in Eagan. 43. Mr. Sabongi testified that there was only one parcel in Eagan that "would have worked," but the "cost was prohibitive." It was unclear whether he was referring to the Lone Oak site or the Baker's Square site. 44. Mr. Ansari testified that the site at Lone Oak Road was "too expensive," with an asking price of $700,000.00. 45. Mr. Ansari gave serious consideration to the Baker's Square site. He had learned of the availability of the site in December 2007, prior to the EDA's January notice to him about its availability. Mr. Sabongi inspected the site and identified a number of improvements that the building would need, including: increased water main to support sprinkler system; bringing the kitchen up to code; replacing the roof; bringing restrooms to code; contracting for shared parking 10 175 spaces on adjacent land under the control of the seller, because the parking on the parcel was inadequate. 46. The Baker's Square site was listed for $1.2 million, and Mr. Ansari gave a letter of intent for $750,000, which took into account the improvements that Mr. Ansari deemed necessary. The owner of the Baker's Square site countered with an offer of $1,050,000. Mr. Ansari told the owner's agent that he would take it for $900,000, but he did not get a further response. In the meantime, he had made a decision to relocate the MCC to Burnsville. 47. Although Mr. Ansari did not purchase the Baker's Square site, his nephew did. The restaurant on the site is now owned and operated by Mr. Ansari's nephews as "Ansari's Mediterranean Grill Lounge. Relocation Site 48. Mr. Ansari decided to relocate the MCC to 12500 Nicollet Avenue in Burnsville (the "Burnsville site in a development known as the "Heart of the City." The Burnsville site, at the time, was an unimproved parcel of land, consisting of approximately .6 acres. It was owned by the Burnsville Economic Development Authority "BEDA and located within a redevelopment area and tax increment financing district. 49. Mr. Ansari first considered relocating to the Heart of the City in 2007. Mr. Sabongi testified that he met with Burnsville representatives in 2007, but they wanted a payment of $20,000 for use of the public parking ramp adjacent to the Burnsville site. Mr. Ansari did not pursue it further until 2008, when he was approached by the mayor of Burnsville, who said that the $20,000 would not be required. Mr. Sabongi's billing statements (Claimant's Exh. Book, pp. 23 and 24) suggest that Mr. Ansari first considered the Burnsville site prior to May 14, 2007 and renewed his interest sometime near April 2008. 11 I 74) 50. Ansari Corporation, dba J 0 Mediterranean Cruise Partnership, entered into a purchase and redevelopment agreement with BEDA,' effective June 17, 2008. Under the agreement, Mr. Ansari agreed to pay $165,000 for the Burnsville site and to construct certain "Minimum Improvements" on the site, including: a restaurant facility of approximately 7,760 square feet with 24 parking stalls; a 250 square -foot, finished, winterized, restroom facility that would be accessible from the exterior of the restaurant building for use by the general public; and a 120 square -foot pump room to house pump equipment that would serve an adjacent public park. The BEDA paid Ansari $165,000 as consideration for the easements. 51. The redevelopment agreement required Mr. Ansari to submit all construction plans for the Minimum Improvements to BEDA for prior approval. Mr. Ansari testified that BEDA required a certain size building and building height. BEDA wanted "something unique and beautiful," which he accepted as a "trade -off for buying the property." His original estimated construction cost for the building was $1.5 million. The evidence did not disclose the actual total construction cost. 52. The restaurant at the Burnsville site, after construction, has 10,746 gross square feet, compared to the Eagan site's 2,850 square feet. The kitchen is 2,129 square feet, compared to the Eagan site's 1,036 square feet. The restaurant and bar is 4,962 square feet, compared to the previous 1,534. The Burnsville restaurant has seating for 199 diners indoors and 60 on the adjacent patio, compared to 110 and 40, respectively, at the Eagan site. 53. The Burnsville site has a partial basement, banquet room, and upstairs /mezzanine area with a bathroom, two offices and two storage rooms, none of which were available at the BEDA was represented in the negotiations with Ansari by Kennedy Graven, Chartered, which is the law firm of the Administrative Hearing Officer. The AHO did not participate in the firm's representation of BEDA on that matter and disclosed the firm's representation to both parties, in writing, prior to the hearings in this matter. Both parties consented to the assignment of this matter to the AHO. The AHO has not obtained any information related to that purchase from any source other than the record in this matter. 12 177 Eagan site. The restaurant interior is majestic, with two -story cathedral ceilings over the main dining area, chandelier lighting and an eye- catching, black granite bar two or three times the length of the bar at the Eagan site. 54. Mr. Ansari testified that he had experienced significant stress in making decisions related to relocation and that he had taken "a big chance." He acknowledged that he discontinued the discussions with the Baker's Square owners because he made a business decision to go to Burnsville, and he admitted having told the EDA's consultant that "you need to dream big." 55. BEDA and Ansari Corporation closed on the purchase of the Burnsville site on August 6, 2008. 56. The AHO finds that MCC relocated to the Burnsville site because it offered an opportunity to expand and significantly upgrade the restaurant facilities over what MCC had had at the Eagan site. Disputed Relocation Claims Claim 1 (City Connection Charges) (Claim 1 in March 17, 2009 Claim) 57. Claim 1 relates to various sewer and water charges imposed by the City of Burnsville in connection with the sewer and water permit issued September 29, 2008. (Claimant's Exhibit Book, p. 17). 58. Claim la is in the amount of $875.00, for a water meter supplied by the City of Burnsville to meter water for the lawn irrigation system. Judicial notice is taken that in Minnesota water meters are attached to the real estate and commonly purchased and sold as part of the real estate once attached. The EDA denied Claim la in its entirety. 13 59. Claim lb is in the amount of $1,840, for a water meter supplied by the City of Burnsville. The EDA denied Claim lb in its entirety. 60. Claim lc is in the amount of $24,831 for a city sewer connection charge. The EDA denied Claim lc in its entirety. 61. Claim ld is in the amount of $29,078 for a city water connection charge. The EDA denied Claim ld in its entirety. 62. Claim le is in the amount of $56,575 for a SAC or service availability charge. The EDA approved $21,900 of Claim le but denied the balance of $34,675. 63. The SAC charge originated with the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services division (MCES) and was collected by the City of Burnsville. At the time a property connects to the metropolitan wastewater system, the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services division charges the local government unit for its use of the metropolitan system capacity, based on the estimated volume of wastewater flow from the property. The estimated volume is expressed in units, with one unit being equivalent to an estimate of 274 gallons of wastewater per day. 64. MCES determined that MCC's proposed use would generate 31 units, and MCES charged the City of Burnsville $1,825 per unit or $56,575 for the connection to the metropolitan system. The City of Burnsville required MCC to pay the Metropolitan Council's SAC charge as part of the city's permitting requirements for the site. 65. The MCC had been charged for 12 SAC units when the Eagan site developed, and the EDA approved reimbursement to the MCC for 12 units at $1,825 per unit or $21,900. 66. The City of Burnsville also calculates its connection charges for sewer and water based upon the MCES determination of SAC units for the proposed use. Similar to the MCES 14 nq SAC charges, which reimburse MCES for its costs of constructing the metropolitan wastewater system, the City of Burnsville connection charges are used by the city to pay for the cost of constructing, maintaining and making available its municipal sewer and water systems. The total fee is determined based upon the number of units (as determined by MCES) and the applicable rates, which the City determines based upon periodic review of trends in consumption, connections to the system, anticipated development, and estimated costs. The city water connection charge was calculated as 31 units times $938 or $29,078, and the sewer connection charge was calculated as 31 units times $801 or $24,831. 67. The City uses connection charges as a means to finance the "cost of construction, reconstruction, repairing, improving, enlarging, obtaining, maintaining and operating potable water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer system facilities." (Claimant Exh. Book, p. 310). Storm sewer connection charges are calculated based on acreage and collected as part of subdivision or development approvals. Charges for water and sanitary sewer are collected with the building permit. Id. p. 311. 68. Connection charges are usual and ordinary expenses incurred in connection with land development. However, the charges are not limited to new development. Any change in use of an existing structure that requires a building or plumbing permit will trigger a re- determination by the MCES of the appropriate SAC charge. If the MCES levies a charge for increased volume due to the change in use, the City of Burnsville also collects its connection fees in an equivalent amount. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 331, 311). Claim 2 (Architect's Fees) (March 17, 2009 Claim 2) 15 r8a 69. Claim 2 is for reimbursement of professional services provided by Sabongi Consulting Group, in the total amount of $29,626. (Claimant Exh. Book, pages 19 -24). The City approved $3,800 and denied the remainder of the claim. 70. Invoice 1 is dated May 14, 2007, is in the amount of $4,685, and indicates it is for site analysis and schematic design. This invoice identifies a total fee for phase A —site analysis and schematic design, in the amount of $12,673. 71. Invoice 2 is dated April 30, 2008, is in the amount of $3,800, and is for site analysis and schematic design. This invoice identifies additional estimated contract fees, including subsequent phases B through E for design development, construction documents, bidding and construction management. 72. Invoice 3 is dated May 30, 2008, is in the amount of $4,188, and is for site analysis and schematic design. The total of Invoices 1, 2 and 3 is $12,673, the initially identified cost of site analysis and design. 73. Subsequent invoices are dated June 30, 2008 or after and are for subsequent phases of the work, including design development and preparation of bidding documents. Claim 3 (Zoning Report) (March 17, 2009 Claim 3) 74. Claim 3 is for reimbursement of professional services provided by Dakota County Abstract for the preparation of an ownership report necessary for a zoning hearing, in the amount of $320. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 14 and 26). Claim 4 (Attorney Fees) (March 17, 2009 Claim 4) 75. Claim 4 is for reimbursement of professional services provided by the law firm of Kelly Lemmons, in the amount of $7,447.50, for services provided between May 9, 2008 and August 6, 2008. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 28 -31). 16 76. The law firm's billings are for review and negotiation of the purchase agreement terms and matters related to the closing on the purchase and redevelopment agreement. Claim 5 (Building Permit) (March 17, 2009 Claim 5) 77. Claim 5 is for a building permit fee for plan review, paid to the City of Burnsville, in the amount of $4,651.89. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 14 and 33 -34). The payment was made August 22, 2008. Claim 6 (Zoning Fees) (March 17, 2009 Claim 6) 78. Claim 6 relates to application fees for zoning approvals and escrow monies required by the City of Burnsville, in the amount of $5,630. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 14 and 36 -37). The payment was made May 21, 2008. Claim 7 (Development Fees) (March 17, 2009 Claim 7) 79. Claim 7 relates to various development fees charged by the City of Burnsville, in the amount of $11,879.31. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 14 and 39). The fees include park dedication fees, a charge for updating city maps, an erosion control inspection fee, and a storm sewer charge. The bill is dated May 14, 2008. Claim 8 (Permit Fees) (March 17, 2009 Claim 8) 80. Claim 8 relates to permit fees paid to the City of Burnsville, including: building permit, $11,819.64; plumbing permit, $2,144; electrical permits, $2,125.50; fire prevention plumbing permit, $444.88; heating permit, $2,798.80; utility plumbing permit, $826.79, and building permit for grading, $2,502.75. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 14 and 41 -61). Claim 9 (Increased Costs of Operation)(March 17, 2009 Claim 9) 81. Claim 9 is a claim for reimbursement of increased costs of operation at the Burnsville site, in the amount of $50,000. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 63 -64; Claimant Exh. 17). 17 Aga 82. MCC paid $7,090.40 per year in real estate taxes at the Eagan site in 2008. Mr. Ansari estimated that taxes at the Burnsville site would be $40,000 per year, but actual tax data was not available. He claimed the difference in taxes between the two sites for a period of 24 months or two years, totaling $65,819.35. MCC claimed $50,000, the amount which it asserts is the cap on reestablishment expense reimbursement under applicable law. 83. Mr. Ansari's estimate of the taxes for the Burnsville site was based upon the anticipated taxable value of the property following completion of construction, which did not occur until May 2009. Judicial notice is taken that property taxes in Minnesota are based on the use and market value of the property as of January 2 in the year preceding the year in which the taxes are paid. The Burnsville site was owned by BEDA until August 6, 2008 and therefore should have been exempt from taxes in 2009. MCC's construction of the new building on the Burnsville site was incomplete on January 2, 2009, with limited contributing building value. (Resp. Exh. 11). No evidence was presented regarding the estimated taxes that the Eagan site would generate based on its estimated value of $243,800 as of January 2, 2009. 84. At the hearing, MCC introduced evidence that his monthly loan payments had totaled $3,503 when he owned the Eagan site in 2008 but that he had obtained loans from the SBA to finance the Eagan site, with monthly payments of $9,451.53 and $3,182.25. Claim 10 (Dakota Electric Bill) (May 29, 2009 Claim 3) 85. Claim 10 is for reimbursement of costs to provide three -phase electrical service to the MCC at the Burnsville site, in the amount of $15,172.00. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 79 -82). 86. Although there was electric service to the Burnsville site, a retaining wall was built over the top of the existing electrical service. The electric service provider, Dakota Electric Association "DEA required the electric service to be replaced at MCC's cost, in order to 18 r comply with DEA's installation standards. DEA determined that the retaining wall prevented adequate access to the underground facilities. 87. The re- routing of the electrical service was performed outside the property boundaries of the Burnsville site, within the public right of way for Nicollet Avenue and Travelers Trail West. Nicollet Avenue abuts the Burnsville site, and Travelers Trail West is the first intersecting street to the north of the Burnsville site, but it does not abut the Burnsville site. 88. Dakota Electric required the existing service to be replaced, not only to serve the MCC's Burnsville site, but also that the replaced line could provide service to the Nicollet Park transformer and other properties in the vicinity. 89. The $15,172.00 was an estimate, and no actual bill had been generated by Dakota Electric as of the date of the hearing. Claim 11 (DPM Moving Estimate) (May 29, 2009 Claim 6) 90. Claim 11 is for reimbursement of costs to move MCC's computerized cash register system, in the amount of $15,500.00. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 95 -97; Exh. 18). 91. MCC obtained two quotations from Dynamic Products Midwest, LLC "DPM one to move and install the point of sale system for $15,500.00; and another to install a new system for $17,313.00. At the hearing, MCC introduced evidence that the actual bill for installing a new system was $18,538.08 (which included sales tax that had been omitted from the quotation). MCC's claim is for the lower of the two estimates: $15,500.00. 92. The EDA's relocation consultant obtained a cost estimate from Sovran, Inc. to move and install the old system at the Burnsville location. The Sovran estimate was for $2,649.88. Because the EDA believed the DPM estimate was excessive, the EDA approved only $2,649.88 of the claim. 19 /g� 93. The DPM quotation lacks the specificity of the Sovran quotation. Sovran's estimate included a detailed breakdown of the hardware that would be moved and the estimated time for moving the hardware and wiring and backing up the data to prevent data loss. Sovran estimated 13 hours of time at hourly rates that ranged from $95 to $150. In contrast, DPM's quote was broken down into categories: labor to move and set up computers and POS system to new location reinstall and secure network cables connectors installed in new location 20 $8,400.00 $2,260.00 $4,840.00 Items to be moved are not identified. No hourly rate is provided, and no estimate of time is given. Even assuming an hourly rate of $200, the DPM quote assumes it would take 42 hours to move and set up the computer equipment. Sovran estimated the wiring at $589.38, compared to DPM's quotation of $4,840.00. 94. From the documentation provided, the AHO is unable to determine DPM's hourly rate, what equipment DPM proposed to move and install, what security measures needed to be taken for the data, or what DPM's estimate of time was to perform the work. Claim 12 (Printing Costs) (May 29, 2009 Claim 8) 95. Claim 12 is for reimbursement of printing costs for lunch and dinner menus, take- out menus and flyers, in the amount of $5,309.47. (Claimant Exh. Book, p. 105). At the relocation hearing, MCC withdrew its $838.51 request for printing flyers. 96. The EDA's relocation consultant examined the old lunch menus, dinner menus, and take -out menus. Only the take -out menus contained the address and telephone number of the Mediterranean Cruise. The take -out menus were one -page menus produced by photocopying. 97. The Mediterranean Cruise submitted invoices from Minuteman Press that included $1,1718.36 for 150 lunch menus, $698.51 for 1000 take -out menus, and $1,718.36 for 150 dinner menus, plus tax and shipping. Mr. Ansari testified that the order quantities were all minimum orders required by the printer. 98. The EDA's relocation consultant requested a copy of the new take -out menu and a count of the old menus spoiled by the move. MCC stated that it had 425 take out menus on hand. There was no evidence concerning the number of dinner and lunch menus on hand, but because there were at least 100 vinyl covers for each of the lunch and dinner menus, the AHO infers that there were at least 100 lunch menus and 100 dinner menus on hand. 99. Mr. Ansari testified that MCC needed to upgrade and change its menu and change prices. He testified that the MCC had to increase its prices because of the move. The AHO finds this testimony credible, with respect to the change in menu prices. 100. The EDA denied the claims for the lunch and dinner menus because those menus did not have addresses and were not spoiled for that reason. The EDA agreed to reimburse the MCC $296.87 for the 425 take -out menus spoiled by the relocation. (425/1000 x $698.51 $296.87). Claim 13 (Menu Covers) (May 29, 2009 Claim 9) 101. The parties resolved Claim 13 at the relocation hearing. 102. The MCC sought reimbursement for the cost of custom vinyl menu covers. MCC's initial claim was for 300 covers totaling $4,980.00 in printing expenses. 103. The EDA had counted only 69 covers at the Eagan site, but Mr. Ansari testified that there were at least 200 covers spoiled by the move. The EDA agreed to reimburse the MCC for 200 covers, and the MCC accepted that offer. Claim 14 (Loss of Food) (May 29, 2009 Claim 10) 21 104. Claim 14 is for reimbursement in loss of food during the 3 -day closing period between the move from the Eagan site to the Burnsville site, in the amount of $3,000.00. MCC was closed for three days, from May 27 -29, 2009. 105. MCC supported the claim with a memo from Mr. Ansari. In the memo, Mr. Ansari stated that MCC purchases food twice per week and spends approximately $3,000.00 per week on produce and meat. He estimated that with food prep and labor the total loss would be around $4,500.00 to $5,500.00 106. MCC also provided copies of invoices from various food vendors. (Claimant Exh. Book, pp. 109 -136.) The invoices documented expenditures as follows: week of April 17, 2009, total of $567.09 (p. 111); week of April 26, 2009, $780.59 (pp. 121, 129 and 130); week of May 16, 2009, $636.42 (p.133); week of May 17, 2009, $3,854.82 (pp. 110, 112,115, 117, 119- 120, 123 -124, 128, 131 -132); and week of May 28, 2009, $2,194.0 (pp. 134 -136). 107. The EDA's relocation consultant's assistant, Steve Schmieg, contacted the Minnesota Department of Health on June 11, 2009 to inquire about the move of food products. Gary, from the Minnesota Department of Health, said that frozen and refrigerated food products could be moved, provided food was not spoiled. 108. During the relocation consultant's visit to the Eagan facility on June 11, 2009, he observed approximately 10 items in bowls in a refrigerator that were not moved. The AHO does not find that evidence indicative of the amount of food lost, because spoiled food would have been disposed of earlier. 109. Mr. Ansari did not provide any testimony regarding specific quantities of food that were identified in the supplied invoices and that were subsequently lost as a result of the move. 22 1�7 110. Mr. Wilson testified that MCC should have been able to anticipate the move when ordering food. 111. The EDA used the following method to determine the lost food total: $3,000 /week for food $428 per day x 3 days $1,284 lost food estimate. The EDA approved this amount as a moving expense. 112. The EDA denied the remainder of the claim. Claim 15 (Moving /Substitute Equipment) (May 29, 2009 Claim 11) 113. Claim 15, in the amount of $94,941.00, is for reimbursement of MCC's costs of moving personal property or substituting equipment. 114. To determine the reasonableness of the MCC's claims, the EDA's relocation consultant obtained estimates from: Keith Traxler of CCR Homes, a general contractor, and Larry Schmit, an electrician with Robb Electric. Traxler's estimates were based in part upon estimates from Swanson Plumbing, for plumbing items. Based on the estimates from Traxler, Schmit and Swanson, the EDA approved $34,126.00 ($31,706.00 general contractor estimate for disconnect and reconnect plus $2,420 estimate for moving) and denied the remaining claim. 115. At the relocation hearing, Ryan Grefsheim testified on behalf of the MCC and Keith Traxler and Larry Schmit testified on behalf of the EDA. 116. Grefsheim was employed by Greiner Construction and was the project manager for the construction at the Burnsville site. Grefsheim prepared the estimate for the disconnect and reconnect of the personal property on behalf of Greiner Construction. Grefsheim has been employed in the construction industry for two years, since his graduation from Mankato State in 2007 with a construction management and business administration degree. His experience has been in new construction, and approximately 25 percent of his work has been on 23 1 8g kitchen/restaurant construction or build -out. He has experience as a job estimator on commercial bid requests. 117. Keith Traxler is a general contractor with CCR Homes and Construction. He testified that he had worked on commercial projects in the past, but he had never worked on a commercial restaurant. He testified that he had never worked with structural steel and did not calculate in -wall blocking for any of the items in his estimate. 118. Larry Schmitt is an electrician with Robb Elecric. He testified that he has been providing electrical estimates for 11 years. He testified that he had worked on several restaurants and commercial kitchens. 119. Grefsheim testified that it is not his usual job to estimate the cost of disconnecting personal property. He testified that in restaurant moves, it is common not to relocate all fixtures. Some items cannot be moved because of health department requirements. For some items, relocating and modifying the equipment is more time consuming than purchasing new equipment. Many of the Claim 15 items were substitute equipment claims, where the displaced business does not move the actual item but is reimbursed for moving costs based on the lower of the cost to disconnect, move and reconnect the old equipment compared to the cost to replace and install new equipment. In that regard, many of the claims were based on estimated, rather than actual, moving and reconnection costs. 120. Grefsheim testified that Greiner Construction uses union contractors, and his estimates were based upon union rates. His estimate was also based on estimates provided by a subcontractor, Kitchen Equipment. Grefsheim testified that he was required to use Kitchen Equipment according to Greiner's union contracts, but he was unable to provide any breakdown 24 �9 of the Kitchen Equipment bid by number of hours, hourly rate, type of labor provided (skilled or unskilled) or cost of materials. 121. Grefsheim testified that he would charge $85 to $88 per hour for electrical work; $90 to $92 per hour for plumbing work; $88 to $90 per hour for carpentry; and $110 per hour for trucking. Grefsheim's estimates included the cost of the moving truck. Grefsheim included the estimate for the moving truck with each item. His estimates calculated that the moving truck would be at the job for the amount of time that the laborers were at the job. His estimate did not figure that one truck would be available to move multiple items at one time. 122. The EDA's estimates were not based upon union rates. Schmit testified that his estimates were based upon $80 per hour for electrical work. Traxler testified that the plumbing rate was $80 per hour, which was not based on prevailing wages. He testified that he used prevailing wage information from the Internet for use of skilled laborers ($38.09 per hour) and carpenters ($45 per hour). Traxler also testified that he had prepared his estimate by looking at each individual item of equipment but had also estimated the job as a total package. Traxler obtained an estimate for trucking costs from Berger Trucking, in the amount of $2,420. The estimate was based on moving multiple items together at one time rather than individually. Traxler also testified that the disconnects could be done as demolition project without using an electrician or plumber, which would also save approximately $6,400 in costs. Claim 16 (Computer System) (June 9, 2009 Claim 1) 123. Claim 16 was for the cost of moving computers, in the amount of $1,760.00 (MCC Exh. Book, p. 149). MCC withdrew this claim on August 14, 2009. Claim 17 (Liquor Menus) (June 9, 2009 Claim 2) 25 124. Claim 17 is for the cost of printing 250 beverage and liquor menus, in the amount of $1,964.20. (MCC Exh. Book, p. 150). The original claim was $2,135. The EDA approved $170.80, and the remaining amount was appealed. 125. The EDA's relocation consultant counted 20 liquor menus at the Eagan site on June 11, 2009. 126. Mr. Ansari testified that Minuteman Press required a minimum order of 250 for printing the liquor menus. 127. The EDA agreed to reimburse the MCC $170.80 for the 20 menus on hand at the time of the relocation. (20/250 x $2,135 $170.80). CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Preliminary Legal Matters 1. The EDA's obligation to pay relocation benefits is governed by the Minnesota Uniform Relocation Act, Minn. Stat. 117.50 -56 "MURA MURA is intended to make public funds available to reimburse relocation costs incurred by households and businesses displaced by public acquisitions of property where there is no federal financial participation. In re Application for Relocation Benefits of James Brothers Furniture, 642 N.W. 2d 91 (Minn. Ct. App. 2002). Under MURA, Minn. Stat. 117.52, an "acquiring authority" must as a cost of acquisition, provide all relocation assistance, services, payments and benefits required by the [federal] Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and those regulations adopted pursuant thereto. 2. The regulations promulgated under the federal URA are found at 49 C.F.R. Part. 24. 3. MCC is a "displaced person" within the meaning of Minn. Stat. 117.50, subd. 3 and 49 C.F.R. 24.2(a)(9)(i)(A). It is therefore entitled to reimbursement of: (i) "actual moving 26 and related expenses, as the [EDA] determines to be reasonable and necessary," according to 49 C.F.R. 24.301; (ii) "actual, reasonable and necessary expenses" as specified in 49 C.F.R. 24.303; and (iii) reestablishment expenses as allowed under 49 C.F.R. 24.304 and MURA. 4. A distinction between moving expenses under 24.301 and reestablishment expenses under 24.304 is that moving expenses relate to personal property only, and reestablishment expenses relate to modifications to the replacement real property. See The MN Cape Ann v. United States, 199 F.2d 61, 67 (1 Cir. 1999). This is supported by the comments in the preamble to the proposed rule changes that were ultimately promulgated January 4, 2005 (see Fed. Reg., vol. 68, no. 242, p. 70350 [comments to 24.303]), and also by the preamble to the final revised relocation regulations, published January 4, 2005: Claims for Moving Expenses under 49 C.F.R. 24.301 5. The MCC has submitted claims for reimbursement pursuant to the several provisions of 49 C.F.R. 24.301. The general provision for eligible moving expenses is found at 24.301(a)(1): as follows: [W]e believe actual moving cost expenses for businesses should be limited to personal property items, while expenses for improving business real property should be reimbursed under reestablishment provisions of 24.304. However, we note that three provisions which were formerly under reestablishment limitations, and which do not fall within the category of realty or personalty, have been moved to revised 24.303, and can be considered for reimbursement without a defined dollar limitation. Fed. Reg. vol. 70, no. 2, p. 603 (discussion of comments to 24.301(g)(3)). Any owner occupant or tenant who qualifies as a displaced person and who moves from a business ...is entitled to payment of his or her actual moving and related expenses, as the Agency determines to be reasonable and necessary. 6. The specific provisions of 24.301 under which MCC has submitted claims are 27 (d) Moves from a business, farm or nonprofit organization. Personal property as determined by an inventory from a business may be moved by one or a combination of the following methods: (Eligible expenses for moves from a business include those expenses described paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(7) of this section and paragraphs (g)(11) through (g)(18) of this section and 24.303.) (2) Self -move. A self -move payment be based on one or a combination of the following: (i) The lower of two bids or estimates prepared by a commercial mover or qualified Agency staff person. At the Agency' s discretion for a low cost or uncomplicated move may be based on a single bid or estimate; or (ii) Supported by receipted bills for labor and equipment. Hourly labor rates should not exceed the rates paid by a commercial mover to employees performing the same activity and, equipment rental fees should be based on the actual rental cost of the equipment but not to exceed the cost paid by a commercial mover. (11) Any license, permit, fees or certification required of the displaced person at the replacement location. However, the payment may be based on the remaining useful life of the existing license, permit, fees or certification. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.301(g)(1) (2), (3) and (16): Claims 11 and 15 7. Claim 11 was made pursuant to 24.301(g)(1), and Claim 15 was made pursuant to 24.301(g)(1), (2), (3) and (16): (g) Eligible actual moving expenses. (1) Transportation of the displaced person and personal property. [language omitted] (2) Packing, crating, unpacking, and uncrating of the personal property. (3) Disconnecting, dismantling, removing, reassembling, and reinstalling personal property. For businesses, this includes machinery, equipment, substitute personal property, and connections to utilities available within the building; it also includes modifications to the personal property, including those mandated by Federal, State or local law, code or ordinance, necessary to adapt it to the replacement structure, the replacement site, or the utilities at the replacement site, and modifications necessary to adapt the utilities at the replacement site to the personal property. (16) Purchase of substitute personal property. If an item of personal property, which is used as part of a business or farm operation is not moved but is 28 j�3 promptly replaced with a substitute item that performs a comparable function at the replacement site, the displaced person is entitled to payment of the lesser of: (i) The cost of the substitute item, including installation costs of the replacement site, minus any proceeds from the sale or trade -in of the replaced item; or (ii) The estimated cost of moving and reinstalling the replaced item but with no allowance for storage. At the Agency's discretion, the estimated cost for a low cost or uncomplicated move may be based on a single bid or estimate. 8. MCC's documentation for Claim 11 was not adequately detailed for the AHO to determine what was included in the invoice and whether the charge was reasonable. MCC did not meet the burden of proof for its claim, and the AHO affirms the EDA's approved amount of $2,649.88. 9. Although Claim 15 was quite detailed in some respects, in many respects, it also lacked the detail that the AHO would have preferred in order to determine the reasonableness of each and every claim. The AHO's determinations on each of the disputed items is addressed in the chart attached as Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein as additional findings and conclusions. 10. The results reached in the attached Exhibit A are based in part upon the following general determinations. The EDA's estimate was lower than MCC's estimate, in part, due to the EDA's use of non union, unskilled labor in its estimate. It is not, however, per se unreasonable for a business to use union rates for purposes of determining its moving costs. Use of union rates could be abused if the rates are used only for the purpose of substitute personal property claims where the equipment is never actually moved but the estimated moving costs are compared to the cost of the new replacement equipment. This claim contains a high number of substitute equipment items. Nevertheless, MCC did actually retain a union contractor to install new and moved equipment, and the AHO concludes that MCC's use of union labor rates was not 29 1 q4 unreasonable. The AHO has used the lower end of the union rate range quoted by Grefsheim for all of the claims. 11. Evaluation of MCC's moving estimate was complicated by the fact that MCC constructed a new building rather than moved into an existing building. Unlike Traxler and Schmit, Grefsheim did not provide a breakdown of hours and materials for each item. Although the hourly rates to which Grefsheim testified were reasonable union rates, the lack of detailed information on hours and materials make it difficult to evaluate the reasonableness of the overall estimate for each item. For example, there was no information on any of the estimates provided by Kitchen Equipment not the level of skilled labor used, not the hourly rates, not the materials, and no description of the specific work that was involved. 12. In contrast, the AHO found Schmit's testimony credible and detailed with respect to the number of hours required to do the work and the cost of materials. Traxler had less credibility on some matters because of his lack of experience in estimating disconnections and reconnections for restaurants, and in several instances the AHO has determined that Traxler underestimated the hours required. For the most part, the AHO has utilized the hours and materials as estimated by the EDA and the hourly rates quoted by Grefsheim. 13. The MCC's cost estimates are overstated and unreasonable to the extent that Grefsheim estimated the cost of moving each item individually rather than moving them together. Although most of the items were replaced rather than moved, so that the estimates are essentially hypothetical, the failure to estimate for an efficient move of equipment results in an unreasonably high estimate. The AHO has accepted the EDA's moving cost estimate. 14. Both parties used a 10% profit and overhead factor, which is reasonable. The AHO has used the same profit and overhead factor. 30 1 4S 15. Based upon the available evidence, the AHO determines that the EDA properly denied $49,904.12 of the total amount for Claim 15, and the AHO determines that MCC is entitled to reimbursement of a total of $45,036.88 for Claim 15. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.301(g)(6) and (7): Claim 14 16. Claim 14 was made pursuant to 24.301(g)(6) and (7): (g) Eligible actual moving expenses. (6) The replacement value of property lost, stolen, or damaged in the process of moving (not through the fault or negligence of the displaced person, his or her agent, or employee) where insurance covering such loss, theft, or damage is not reasonably available. (7) Other moving related expenses that are not listed as ineligible under 24.301(h), as the Agency determines to be reasonable and necessary. 17. MCC did not identify any specific food items that were actually lost or spoiled. Mr. Ansari testified regarding average expenses of the business for food, but the evidence showed that MCC incurred only $2,194.07 for the week in which the move occurred. Mr. Ansari did not testify that MCC lost the entire amount of food it had ordered for the week in which the move occurred, nor is it reasonable to infer from the evidence that MCC would have ordered food only to throw it all away. The EDA assumed a loss of $428 per day, based on $3,000 per week for food and a 3 -day closure. The AHO determines that the $1,284 is a reasonable and proper relocation payment, in the absence of more specific documentation of loss by MCC. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.301(g)(11): Claims la and lb, 5, 6, 7, and 8 31 18. The MCC made several claims (Claims la -e, 5, 6, 7 and 8) pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 24.301(g)(11). (Claim 1 a was also made under 24.303(a), and that provision is discussed at conclusions 39 -41 below.) 19. Section 24.301(g)(11) provides for reimbursement of: (g) Eligible actual moving expenses. (11) Any license, permit, fees or certification required of the displaced person at the replacement location. However, the payment may be based on the remaining useful life of the existing license, permit, fees or certification. 20. FHWA FAQ No. 63 provides as follows: 63. 24.301(g)(11). Are there any (imitations on the costs that can be reimbursed for licenses, permits, or certifications required of the displaced person at the replacement location? The costs must be actual, reasonable, and necessary. The licenses, permits, or certification requirements necessary to operate the particular business being relocated are eligible for payment as moving expenses. Occupancy permits, licenses and such fees paid for the replacement real property, which were formerly eligible as reestablishment expenses, can now be reimbursed as moving expenses. Reimbursement of actual, reasonable, and necessary costs may be limited to those amounts that are for the remaining useful life of the licenses, etc., at the site acquired. (Emphasis added.) 21. The language in the regulation does not clearly define the scope of the "licenses, permits and fees" that may be reimbursed. The FAQ provides some, but little guidance. It suggests that the expense must be a license, permit or fee necessary to operate the particular business. For example, a liquor license fee might be reimbursed under 24.301(g)(11). 22. Section 24.301 must be read as a whole. Section 24.301(h)(10) provides that "physical changes to the real property at the replacement location" are ineligible moving 32 1.17 expenses "except as provided in 24.301(g)(3) and 24.304(a)." Section 24.301(g)(3) relates only to modifications that are made to personal property to adapt them to the replacement site or modifications made to utilities at the replacement site necessary to adapt them to the personal property; and, 24.304(a) relates to reestablishment expenses. Section 24.301 (h)(10) suggests that 24.301(g)(11) was not intended to allow reimbursement for building permits. 23. The FHWA's comments to the 2005 revised relocations also provide guidance in interpreting the scope of 24.301(g)(11). In those comments, the FHWA indicated that the costs that had been moved from the reestablishment category to the moving expense category "only included those costs that were unrelated to improvements at the replacement site. Costs related to improving the replacement real property were more clearly considered to be `reestablishment expenses,' and accordingly, were retained in 24.304." Fed. Reg., Vol. 70, no. 2, p. 605 (comment to 24.304). The FHWA comments provide further support for the conclusion that building permit fees are not eligible expenses under 24.301(g)(11). 24. Accordingly, the AHO determines that the EDA properly denied Claim 5 (building permit fee) in the amount of $4,651.98, Claim 6 (zoning application fees) in the amount of $5,630.00, Claim 7 (park dedication and development fees) in the amount of $11,879.31, and Claim 8 (building, plumbing, electrical, heating and grading permits for new construction) in amounts totaling $22,662.36. All of the fees were incurred with respect to physical changes at the replacement location and are costs related to the improvement of the replacement real property. 25. In theory, permit fees that are not prohibited by 24.301(h)(10) (.i.e., those that could be paid under 24.303g)(3)) could be reimbursed in some situations. E.g., if a building or plumbing permit were necessary for purposes of modifying existing utilities at the replacement 33 19� site to the personal property. However, the permits obtained by MCC were for new construction and installation of new improvements, not for modifications to an existing structure. 26. Claims 5 through 8 could be characterized as reestablishment expenses under 24.304(a), which is discussed further at conclusion 78 below. 27. Claims la and lb are "fees" incurred for the installation of water meters one for the lawn irrigation system and one for the building. MCC contends that under the plain language of 24.301(g)(11), it is entitled to reimbursement of "any fees,... at the replacement location" (emphasis added), but such a broad reading of the regulation would allow claimants to evade limitations in the rules simply by characterizing an expense as a "fee." These expenses are charges for water meters and not merely regulatory fees. Water meters are capital equipment, the cost of which is incurred in constructing a new business building, and those costs are ineligible under 24.301(b)(1). (See also, Fed. Reg., Vol. 70, No. 2, p. 605 (comment to 24.304). 28. The EDA properly denied Claims la, lb, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.301(g)(13): Claims 12, 13 and 17 29. The MCC submitted Claims 12, 13, and 17 pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 24.301(g)(13), which provides: (g) Eligible actual moving expenses. (13) Relettering signs and replacing stationery on hand at the time of displacement that are made obsolete as a result of the move. 30. The parties settled Claim 13 at the hearing. 31. Claim 12 related to the costs of printing lunch, dinner and take -out menus. Claim 17 related to the cost of printing liquor and beverage menus. 34 i ii 32. The AHO determines that as a result of the move, MCC reasonably and necessarily ordered new lunch, dinner and take -out menus for the replacement site. The AHO further determines that it is reasonable to reimburse the lunch and dinner menus based upon a count of 100 of each, similar to the vinyl menu covers. 33. The regulations provide only for reimbursement of the cost to replace menus "on hand at the time of displacement" rather than reimbursement of the entire minimum order amount. Similar to stationery, menus will require replacement on an ongoing basis due to use, wear, damage or loss. Reimbursing for the entire minimum order would not simply replace menus spoiled by the move (the menus on hand), but it would effectively re -stock a supply item used in the normal course of business operations, which is prohibited by 24.304(b)(2). 34. The AHO recommends that the EDA reimburse $1,261.56 for the lunch menus (100/150 x $1,718.36 $1,145.57; plus, allocable portion of the sales tax and handling, $115.99). 35. The AHO recommends that the EDA reimburse $1,261.56 for the dinner menus (100 /150 x $1,718.36 $1,145.57; plus, allocable portion of the sales tax and handling, $115.99) 36. The AHO recommends that the EDA reimburse $317.26 for the take -out menus. (425/1000 x $698.51 $296.87; plus, allocable portion of the sales tax ad handling, $20.39) 37. The AHO recommends that the EDA reimburse $170.80 for the liquor menus (20/250 x $2,135 $170.80). 38. The EDA properly denied the remainder of Claims 12 and 17. Claims for Related Nonresidential Eligible Expenses Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.303(a): Claims la, lb and 10 35 cCIO 39. The MCC submitted two claims (Claims la, lb and 10) made pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 24.303(a), which provides reimbursement for: (a) Connection to available nearby utilities from the right -of -way to improvements at the replacement site. 40. Claims la and lb were also submitted under 24.301(g)(11) and, as discussed above, disallowed under that provision. As determined above, water meters are capital equipment and a cost of improving real property, which are generally ineligible under 24.301(b)(1). See also Fed. Reg. Vol. 70, no. 2, page 605 (comment to section 24.304). Water meters are part of the "improvements at the replacement site" to which the utilities connect, rather than a cost of making that connection. 41. The EDA properly denied Claims la and lb. 42. Claim 10, in the amount of $15,172.00, relates to the charges imposed by Dakota Electric for re- routing a three -phase electric feeder from its existing location, within a utility easement, to the nearest transformer. 43. The EDA contends that the claim is ineligible because 24.303(a) only allows reimbursement for utility work performed on the replacement property, because of the phrase "from the right -of -way to improvements at the replacement site." The EDA's interpretation renders the adjective "nearby" meaningless. The regulation does not limit reimbursement to work performed on the replacement property. 44. Although this cost was incurred in connection with the construction of a new building, it is neither a cost incurred in moving or modifying personal property, nor is it a cost of improving the replacement real property, since the work was done within the right -of -way. This is consistent with the intended scope of 24.303. See Fed. Reg. Vol. 70, No. 2, p. 603 (comments to 24.301(g)(3)). 36 aol 45. The Dakota Electric bill is eligible for replacement under 24.303(a). MCC is entitled to reimbursement if the charge is "actual, reasonable and necessary." 49 C.F.R. 24.303(a). The $15,172 is an estimate and not the actual cost. Payment of the charge was necessary for the MCC to obtain electric service to the replacement property. Although it could be unreasonable in some cases to extend utilities a significant distance to a replacement property, all of this work was done within the relatively short distance of one city block. The evidence did not indicate that the need for utility relocation was caused by any avoidable error on the part of MCC or its contractors. 46. The AHO recommends that the EDA reimburse MCC for the actual cost of re- routing the three -phase electric service, based upon the final billing submitted by Dakota Electric to MCC. If the final Dakota Electric bill is not yet available and if MCC has paid Dakota Electric based upon the $15,172 estimate, then the EDA shall reimburse MCC for the full $15,172, upon receipt of (i) a written assignment by MCC to the EDA of the right to any refund upon final billing, and (ii) written acknowledgement by Dakota Electric that it will honor the assignment. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.303(b): Claims 2, 3 and 4 47. The MCC submitted three claims (Claims 2, 3 and 4) pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 24.303(b), which provides for reimbursement of: (b) Professional services performed prior to the purchase or lease of a replacement site to determine its suitability for the displaced person's business operation including but not limited to, soil testing, feasibility and marketing studies (excluding any fees or commissions directly related to the purchase or lease of such site). At the discretion of the Agency a reasonable pre- approved hourly rate may be established. (See appendix A, 24.303(b).) 48. Claim 2 relates to professional services provided by Sabongi Consulting Group from the time frame of May 2007 to August 2008. The EDA contends that MCC may not claim 37 any expenses incurred (i) prior to the initiation of negotiations or (ii) after the date that MCC signed a purchase agreement for the Burnsville site. 49. Eligibility for relocation assistance begins on the date that a notice of intent to acquire is given, upon initiation of negotiations, or upon acquisition, whichever occurs first. 49 C.F.R. 24.203(b). The EDA initiated negotiations on September 14, 2007 by making an offer to purchase the Eagan site. 49 C.F.R. 24.2(a)(14) (defining "initiation of negotiations" as delivery of initial written offer of just compensation). 50. The eligibility date restricts the acquiring authority's ability to reimburse expenses but does not necessarily restrict the displaced business's ability to incur expenses for later reimbursement. According to the "Uniform Act Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)," published by the Federal Highway Administration at its website http: /www.fhwa. dot .gov /realestate /ua/uafags.htm, a business may incur expenses once it has a reasonable expectation that its business will be displaced, but the agency may not reimburse the expense until the business has qualified as a "displaced person." FHWA FAQ No. 66 (emphasis added). 51. The interpretations of the FHWA are entitled to deference, because the FHWA is the lead agency for promulgating and administering the federal relocation regulations. When the language of a regulation is unclear or susceptible to different reasonable interpretations, a court will give deference to the interpretation of the promulgating agency. Request for Issuance of SDS General Permit MNG300000, 769 N.W.3d 312, 317 (Minn. App. 2009). 52. The invoices dated May 14, 2007, April 30, 2008 and May 30, 2008, totaling $12,673, are eligible for reimbursement. Although the May 14 invoice reflects costs incurred prior to the initiation of negotiations, MCC had a reasonable expectation at that time that its 38 a(z business would be displaced. The costs relate to the "site analysis and schematic design" phase, which was for the purpose of determining site feasibility. The fees were actually, reasonably and necessarily incurred. The EDA improperly denied $8,873 for the May 14, 2007 and May 30, 2008 invoices. 53. The professional services that are eligible under 24.303(b) are restricted to services performed "prior to the purchase or lease of a replacement site" for purposes of determining "suitability for the displaced person's business operation. It does not allow reimbursement of fees directly related to the purchase of a site. See FHWA FAQ No. 57. 54. The EDA properly denied the invoices dated June 30, 2008, July 11, 2008 and August 18, 2008, totaling $16,703.00. Those costs were incurred after MCC had committed to the purchase of the Burnsville site and were not incurred to determine the suitability of the Burnsville site for MCC's business. The services provided relate to development of the building design and construction documents rather than the determination of site feasibility. 55. With respect to Claim 2, the MCC has received reimbursement of $3,800 and is entitled to additional reimbursement in the amount of $8,873.00. 56. Claim 3, in the amount of $320, relates to a title report required for a zoning hearing. The preamble to the relocation regulations identifies professional services related to zoning matters as an example of eligible professional services, if provided prior to the purchase or lease of the replacement site. See Fed. Reg., Vol. 70, No. 2, p. 605 (discussion of changes to 24.303(b)). Although the purchase agreement was signed in June, it was contingent upon approval of zoning, without which, the site would not have been feasible for the MCC's business. The expense was reasonably and necessarily incurred to determine the feasibility of the replacement site. 39 ac(it 57. The AHO recommends that the EDA reimburse MCC $320 for Claim 3. 58. Claim 4, in the amount of $7,447.50, is for legal fees provided by MCC's attorney. 59. The EDA properly denied Claim 4. The professional services provided by MCC's attorney relate directly to the purchase of the Burnsville site rather than the determination of site suitability. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.303(c): Claim 1 60. As an alternate theory to its moving expense claim, the MCC also submitted Claims lc and ld and le pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 24.303(c), which provides for reimbursement of: (b) Impact fees or one time assessments for anticipated heavy utility usage, as determined necessary by the Agency. 61. Claims lc and ld relate to sewer and water connection charges imposed by the City of Burnsville. Claim le relates to the SAC charges imposed by the MCES. 62. FAQ No. 75 of the FHWA Frequently Asked Questions provides as follows: 75. 24.303(c). What are some examples of impact fees or one -time assessments? Actual and reasonable impact fees for anticipated heavy utility usage are eligible for payment as a related moving expense. In the past these fees were eligible as a reestablishment expense and limited to $10,000. Examples include (a) water and sewer tap fees for a laundromat business which requires a larger service tap than a typical business, (b) a fee to provide 3 -phase electrical service required by the displaced business when replacement sites available were served by single phase transformers, or (c) other one -time charges or fees a utility requires to finance infrastructure necessary to provide increased usage. The intent is to reimburse a business for impact fees for anticipated heavy utility usage when the move requires the business to move to a new location where impact fees for anticipated heavy utility usage are being charged. If suitable replacement sites or properties are available where impact fees for anticipated 40 heavy utility usage are not being charged, reimbursement is at the agency's discretion, based on what is reasonable and necessary. Potential eligibility of impact fees for anticipated heavy utility usage is an important advisory service. The regulation limits impact fees or one -time assessments for anticipated heavy utility usage to utilities, i.e., water, sewer, gas, and electric. Impact fees for other major infrastructure such as roads, fire stations, regional drainage improvements and parks, for example, are not eligible. 63. The FAQ makes clear that the rule is intended to cover only impact fees for "anticipated heavy utility usage." It does not cover other typical development costs, such as contribution to regional drainage improvements or parks (e.g., the city's storm water connection fee or park dedication fee). This situation presents an interesting dichotomy, because, although the City connection fees and MCES SAC fees are based upon estimated utility usage, the fees are applicable to ALL development, regardless of usage. 64. In purchases of undeveloped land, development fees such as park dedication, area charges, and connection charges are commonly factored into the purchase price paid for the property. The relocation regulations do not provide for reimbursement for the purchase price of the replacement property. 65. On the other hand, if MCC had moved to an existing building that was a retail space but was not equipped as a restaurant, the MCC would have paid additional SAC charges and connection charges for the estimated increase in water and sewer usage, and the FAQ indicates that the regulation was intended for that purpose. 66. Accordingly, the AHO determines that the connection fees and SAC fees are eligible under 24.303(c), but that the amount to be reimbursed must be determined based upon the regulatory requirement that the expense must be "actual, reasonable and necessary." 67. The AHO determines that it is not reasonable to reimburse any portion of the City connection fees under the particular facts of this case, for the following reasons: (a) a portion of 41 aolf the fees, equivalent to a minimum of 2 units, is a "base charge" that would be incurred for any type of commercial development of the replacement property and is not imposed for "anticipated heavy usage;" (b) the effective purchase price for the replacement property, subject to the sidewalk easement, was $0.00, and it is reasonable to conclude that some portion of the various development expenses, including connection fees, are actually reflected in that purchase price, which is not reimbursable under the regulations; (c) the MCC incurred the connection charges because of Mr. Ansari's decision to construct a new, significantly larger and higher -end building rather than relocate to an existing restaurant facility, where MCC would not have incurred any additional charges; Mr. Ansari's efforts to achieve his dreams by expanding and upscaling the restaurant are laudable and inspiring, but it is unreasonable for the EDA to pay the costs of realizing that dream. 68. The analysis above applies equally to Claim le, regarding the MCES SAC charges and would have justified denial of Claim le in its entirety. The EDA approved and paid $21,900 of Claim le, and that partial payment is not subject to appeal. The AHO determines that the EDA's denial of the remaining balance of $34,675 was reasonable. Claims for Reestablishment Expenses nonresidential moves Reestablishment Expense Limit 69. The federal relocation regulations establish a limit of $10,000 on the payment of reestablishment expenses to displaced small businesses. 49 C.F.R. 24.304. 70. Prior to the enactment of 2006 Minn. Laws. c. 214, MURA provided discretionary authority to Minnesota acquiring authorities to exceed the federal cap of $10,000 and instead pay up to $50,000 in reestablishment expenses of a displaced business, in situations where federal financial participation existed. Minn. Stat. 117.51 (2004) provided: 42 ao7 117.51 COOPERATION WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. In all acquisitions undertaken by any acquiring authority and in all voluntary rehabilitation carried out by a person pursuant to acquisition or as a consequence thereof, the acquiring authority shall cooperate to the fullest extent with federal departments and agencies, and it shall take all necessary action in order to insure, to the maximum extent possible, federal financial participation in any and all phases of acquisition, including the provision of relocation assistance, services, payments and benefits to displaced persons. An acquiring authority may consider reimbursing up to $50,000 in reestablishment expenses of a displaced business. 71. Minn. Stat. 117.51 governed projects with federal financial participation. In contrast, Minn. Stat. 117.52 (2006) required that projects without federal funding "provide all relocation assistance, services, payments and benefits required by the [federal] Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and those regulations adopted pursuant thereto, Section 117.52 contained no authority to exceed the $10,000 cap under the federal regulations. 72. In 2006, the legislature enacted 2006 Minn. Laws c 214, which represented a significant reform of Minnesota Statutes chapter 117. As part of that legislation, the legislature deleted the last sentence of Section 117.51 (which authorized payments of up to $50,000) and enacted the following subdivision in section 117.52: Subd. la. Reestablishment costs limit. For purposes of relocation benefits paid by the acquiring authority in accordance with this section, the provisions of Code of Federal Regulations, title 49, section 24.304, with respect to reimbursement of reestablishment expenses for nonresidential moves are applicable, except that the acquiring authority shall reimburse the displaced business for expenses actually incurred up to a maximum of $50,000. 2006 Minn. Laws c. 214, secs. 16 and 18 (emphasis added). 73. The 2006 legislation had a confusing effective date provision with several exceptions. 2006 Minn. Laws c. 214, sec. 22. Although generally effective as of the day after enactment, May 20, 2006, the act did not apply to certain condemnation actions commenced 43 og prior to February 1, 2008 (including the EDA's acquisition of the Eagan site), and it did not apply to: property acquired for a highway project that, by the effective date, has been selected to receive federal funding by the area transportation partnership or metropolitan planning organization as part of the state transportation improvement program, if the action is commenced on or before January 15, 2007. Id., sec. 22(e) (1) (emphasis added). 74. In 2008, the legislature amended Minnesota Statutes section 117.51 and 117.52 by enactment of 2008 Minn. Laws c. 312, with the express provision that the amendments were "effective retroactively to January 16, 2007." The amendments to section 117.52 were technical in nature, and the amendment to section 117.51 added a subdivision as follows: Subd. 2. Reestablishment costs limit. For purposes of relocation benefits paid by the acquiring authority in accordance with this section, the provisions of Code of Federal Regulations, title 49, part 24, with respect to reimbursement of reestablishment expenses for nonresidential moves are applicable, except that the acquiring authority shall reimburse the displaced business for eligible expenses up to a maximum of $50,000. The effective date language in the 2008 Legislation is ambiguous, because it is unclear whether the legislation was intended to affect projects that were "grandfathered" by the effective date language of the earlier 2006 Legislation. 75. When a statute is reasonably susceptible to more than one meaning, it is ambiguous and subject to statutory construction. Westchester Fields Co. v. Hasbargen, 632 N.W.2d 754, 756 (Minn. App. 2001). If a statute is ambiguous, it is permissible to look at legislative history to determine how the language should be read. Baumann v. Chaska Bldg. Ctr., Inc., 621 N.W.2d 795, 797 (Minn. App. 2001). The object of all statutory construction is to ascertain and effectuate legislative intent. Minn. Stat. 645.16 (2008). 44 c oq 76. Based upon its legislative history, the 2008 Legislation was intended to reinstate the authority of state acquiring authorities to pay reestablishment expenses up to $50,000 in connection with projects that received federal funding. The retroactive effective date of January 16, 2007 coincides with the January 15, 2007 grandfather provision for highway projects that had federal funding, and ensures that acquiring authorities could choose to pay up to $50,000 in reestablishment expenses on any federally funded highway project. There is nothing in the legislative history to suggest that the Legislature intended to retroactively remove the protections of the 2006 legislative grandfather provisions as to projects that had no federal financial participation. 77. Because the EDA's project fell within the grandfather provisions of 2006 Minn. Laws c. 214, sec. 22(b), the provisions of Minn. Stat. 117.52, subd. la are not applicable to MCC's relocation. MCC is entitled to maximum reestablishment expenses of $10,000, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 117.52, subd. 1 (2004) and 49 C.F.R. 24.304. The EDA has already paid that maximum amount. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.304(a)(1) and (2): Claims 5, 6, 7 and 8 78. CIaims 5, 6, 7 and 8 might be characterized as reestablishment expenses under 49 C.F.R. 24.304(a)(7). However, because the EDA has paid the maximum amount of $10,000 for business reestablishment, the EDA properly denied these claims. Claims Under 49 C.F.R. 24.304(a)(6): Claim 9 79. The MCC's Claim 9 is made pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 24.304(a)(6), which allows reimbursement as a reestablishment expense for: (6) Estimated increased costs of operation during the first 2 years at the replacement site for such items as: (i) Lease or rental charges. (ii) Personal or real property taxes; 45 a 1D (iii) Insurance premiums; and (iv) Utility charges, excluding impact fees. 80. Claim 9 has two aspects: increased real estate taxes, in the estimated amount of $32,908.60 per year or $65,817.20; and increased monthly loan payments of $10,500 per month or $252,000. 81. Both bases for the claim are problematic, because MCC's decision to significantly expand and upgrade its facility would result in increased taxes and payments. It is not possible to determine on this record to what extent the increases are attributable to that expansion. 82. In addition, MCC's claim based upon real estate taxes appears overstated. MCC's tax estimate was based upon the value of the property as fully improved. However, the closing statement indicates that the Eagan site was tax exempt in 2008 and, because the closing occurred after July 1, 2008, the property would have remained tax exempt for 2009. Minn. Stat. 272.02, subd. 38(a). In addition, taxes payable in 2010 will be based upon the incomplete status of construction as of January 2, 2009 and therefore should be lower than the estimate. MCC has failed to provide adequate credible documentation as to this claim item. 83. The increased loan costs are based on a loan of $1.7 million. The loan payment undoubtedly includes the amounts for purchase of the real property, the construction of the improvements, interest and may also include the purchase of replacement equipment and trade fixtures.
