Mayor Schmitt re-convened the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
Bruce Loney, Public Works Director/ City Engineer, presented Council with Discussion on
Completing Church Addition Public Improvements.
Mr. Loney said that the final plat for the Church Addition was approved on June 1, 2004 and the
public utilities, curb and gutter, and first layer of pavement were completed in 2004. Much of
the building was also completed in the following years and staffhas been working with the
developer to complete the public improvements, which consists mainly of the final bituminous
wear course.
Mr. Loney said that with the Church Addition there is a Letter of Credit from the bank but the
bank is no longer in business. In addition, Tollefson Development is being foreclosed on its
development by the bank that did the financing for the development.
In consulting with the City Attorney, there are four alternatives available to the City. The first is
to do nothing; complete the public improvement project and the City picks up the cost from the
Capital Improvement Fund; complete the public improvement project with a 429 assessment
project and asses the properties in the Church Addition for these improvements; or complete the
public improvement project and sue the developer for that obligation. Mr. Loney said it would
cost approximately $166,000.00 to put the final wear course down.
Mr. Loney said staff is also reviewing to assess only undeveloped parcels. Many of them have
been sold to another company, as the previous builder has gone bankrupt.
Joos/Lehman moved to complete the public improvement project within the Church Addition
with a 429 assessment project and assess the undeveloped properties. After a long discussion,
Mayor Schmitt asked for a vote on the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
Lehman/Heitzman moved to direct staff to post road restrictions on Kinlock Way until the road
is completed. Motion carried 5-0.
Gregg. V oxland, Finance Director, presented Council with the 2009/2010 Insurance Renewals.
Mr. V oxland said he is seeking direction from Council on several insurance policy issues. The
first is Employee Bonding. The City has a $100,000 blanket bond covering all employees. Mr.
Voxland explained what the insurance covers. Mr. Voxland said that previously the Council
decided that the Clerk and Treasurer needed to have a $250,000 separate bond. State law no
longer requires that there be a separate bond.
Mr. V oxland recommended increasing the blanket bond to $400,000 and discontinuing the other
separate bonds. Council agreed to increase the blanket bond to $500,000 with a premium cost
Official Proceedings of the June 16, 2009
Shakopee City Council Page -4-
comparison between the $400,000 and the $500,000. If the cost is not that significant, Council
would like the $500,000 blanket bond.
Mr. Voxland discussed auto insurance. He said that if the City drops comprehensive and
collision insurance on low value vehicles and trailers, the savings would be about $3,000. This
would apply to vehicles that are estimated to be worth less than $10,000. Council agreed to drop
comprehensive and collision coverage on trailers and vehicles worth $10,000 and under.
Mr. V oxland discussed property insurance. He said that if the City would drop insurance on low
value assets such as park shelters and property in the open such as fences and play equipment, it
would save $2,000 to $3,000 dollars annually. The insurance policy has a $2,500 deductible.
Mr. V oxland recommended dropping the property coverage on assets worth $25,000 or less.
Council disagreed with Mr. Voxland and decided to keep the coverage.
Mr. Voxland discussed No-fault sewer backup coverage. Mr. Voxland said the current premium
for $10,000 limit is $17,483 for $25,000 limit is $20,568 and $40,000 limit is $25,710. The
Sewer Fund would pay the premium.
Mr. V oxland said that sewer backup coverage is generally available under home owner's policies
and would provide primary coverage with the city's policy covering after that.
Mr. V oxland recommended that if the City isn't liable for damage, it should not be paying for the
claims or the insurance. The City has policies and procedures in place to properly maintain the
sewer systems. There have not been many backup's occurring and there may be more paid out in
insurance premiums than costs incurred.
Council agreed with Mr. Voxland and decided not to carry no-fault sewer backup insurance.
Mr. McNeill presented Council with the Parking Lot at 151 and Fuller Street.
Mr. McNeill said that recently staff was contacted by Bergstad Properties, which is the owner of
the Levee Drive Apartment building, about the possibility of purchasing the City-owned parking
lot located at First and Fuller Street.
The parking lot consists of fifty-three parking spaces. The lot has been relocated a couple of .
times over the years, but originally it was one of five parking lots which was funded by a City
initiated public improvement in the 1960's.
Mr. McNeill said the parking lot has not been widely utilized, with the exception of Derby Days
when parking is at a premium. Otherwise, the lot does serve parking for adjacent Levee Drive
apartments and other occasional downtown parking needs. Mr. McNeill discussed ways to
determine the value of the parking lot.
After a long discussion, itwas Council's decision that they were not in favor of selling the
parking lot.
Official Proceedings of the June 16, 2009
Shakopee City Council Page -5-
Mr. McNeill discussed the Board of Review.
Mr. McNeill asked City Council to give direction to staff as to whether it wishes to retain the
current local Board of Review, or go to what is known as an "Open Book" system where Scott
County would take over the review of all property valuations in Shakopee.
Mr. McNeill discussed the pro's and con's of keeping the Board of Review. After discussing the
issue, Council agreed to keep the Board of Review.
Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator, presented Council with an Energy Efficiency
Contract for a detailed energy study and technical energy audit of City facilities.
Ms. Wilson said that over the past few years the City has been making gradual improvements to
the energy efficiency of City facilities. In 2008 the City looked at a proposal from Harris
Companies for a set of energy efficiency improvements to the Community Center and Vierling
Drive Fire Department but ultimately decided not to proceed with the arrangement.
Ms. Wilson said that staffhas been approached by an energy and facility service company called
McKinstry. Staff has met with McKinstry three times to gain an understanding of their services
and they have toured all of our City buildings. They have developed a Preliminary Energy Audit
Report for the City at no cost. To proceed with a more quantitative analysis of each building and
advance to the point of developing specific projects with the greatest return on investment, the
City would need to enter into an agreement with McKinstry.
McKinstry guarantees a return on the complete investment of no more than 15 years, and
provides ongoing reporting to verify this savings as well as assistance with ongoing reporting
that would be required for any grant funding obtained.
Ms. Wilson said if the City proceeds with the detailed engineering study and technical audit but
not the resulting projects, the $22,400 cost of the study would need to be paid for out of the
General Fund fund balance. If the City proceeds with the projects resulting from the study, a
financing plan will be developed that incorporates available rebates, grant funding and City
funds or loans.
After discussing the issue at length, Council agreed they would like to see what Shakopee Public
Utilities can do to assist the City on energy cost savings before entering into an agreement with
McKinstry and then come back to Council with the results.
Mr. McNeill presented Council with the Approval of a used Fire Truck Donation to SCALE.
Mr. McNeill said one of the unmet needs of the SCALE Regional Training Facilities (RTF) is to
"own" a fire truck for use in training participating Fire Departments. Mr. McNeill said that the
City recently purchased a combination pumper/tanker. When it arrives the 1992 GMC pumper
will be available as excess equipment. Staff believes that a trade-in value of the pumper would
be around $5,000. Council is being asked if they would donate the pumper to the RTF.
Official Proceedings of the June 16,2009
Shakopee City Council Page -6-
Council asked that staff check with SCALE to see if the City could receive a $4,500 credit
toward the SCALE dues for donating the pumper truck before committing to the agreement.
Mayor Schmitt asked if there were any Council concerns.
Cncl. Lehman said that he and Cncl. Heitzman attended the Telecommunication meeting for the
cable programming. He said the Telecommunications Commission will be looking at policy
issues and revisions at their June 24, 2009 meeting.
Joos/Clay moved to adjourn to Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. Motion carried 5-0.
The meeting adjourned at 10: 16 p.m.

not on the agenda.
Curtis Prey, 512 Shakopee Ave. E., stated that last month he discussed with Council the sewer
problems he and his surrounding neighbors have been experiencing. At that time Council asked
staffto video the City's main sewer line to see if there were any defects to the City's sewer line.
Mr. Frey stated that the City video taped the line. Mr. Frey was told by staff that the City's
sewer main had no defects.
Mr. Prey said that one of the neighbors's hired Roto-Rooter to video tape the sewer line from her
house to the sewer main. The video indicated breakage in the line that runs from her house and
connects to the sewer main.
Mr. Frey stated that he and his neighbors can get a discounted rate if all of the sewer lines are
done at the same time. What Mr. Frey wanted to know is when the City plans on replacing the
sewer main on Shakopee A venue between Main and Market so he and his neighbor's can
coordinate with the City when the work on their sewer lines can be done.
Bruce Loney, Public Works Director/City Engineer, said that he will be making his 2010 CIP
budget presentation to the Council on August 3, 2009. The 2010 Capital Improvement Program
includes the replacement of the sewer main on Shakopee A venue between Main and Market.
Mayor Schmitt advised Mr. Frey that after the budget presentation on August 3, 2009, Council
will have a better idea of a timeline of when the project will take place in 2010.
Jamie Polley presented Council with the Park Reserve CIP 2009-2013 Interfund Loan Payback
Extension.
Official Proceedings of the July 7, 2009
Shakopee City Council Page -4-
Ms. Polley said that in 2006 the City committed a significant amount of current and future
funding resources toward completing the Huber Park project, including $2 million inter-fund
loan. As a result of this action and the subsequent slow down in development and decrease in
park dedication revenue, there is a significant change in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
from what is proposed for 2009-2013, with many projects deferred until funding is available in
2013.
Ms. Polley said that staff presented the proposed Park Reserve CIP to the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board (PRAB) on June 22, 2009 for comments prior to submittal to the Finance
Department. Ms. Polley highlighted the proposed options suggested by the PRAB for Council
which is to change the payback of the inter-fund loan from five years to 10 years. This would
allow for two larger parks in the Riverside Fields/Riverside Bluffs and the Greenfield East/Park
Meadows developments to be constructed in 2010.
Gregg Voxland, Finance Director, advised Council that he would not recommend extending the
term ofthe loan to the Park Reserve Fund. He provided Council with a memo of some points to
consider when making their decision. Discussion followed
Council asked Ms. Polley to corne up with variations of the CIP by reducing the payback
interest, changing the payback time from five years to seven years, etc., and then provide the
information at the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources budget presentation at the end of
July.
Ms. Polley presented Council with the Shakopee Sponsorship Program.
Ms. Polley said that staff is proposing a Facility Sponsorship Program and an Activity/Supplies
Sponsorship Program. The Facility Sponsorship Program establishes naming rights for facilities
for 10 years for a specific fee. The Activity/Supplies Sponsorship Program provides sponsorship
options for smaller supplies and large parks and recreation activities and special events. 'The
sponsorship of activities or supplies would provide the sponsor with advertising for one year.
The funds received from the program would be utilized to purchase furniture and supplies for the
sponsored facility. Excess funds would be placed in an escrow account to be used for one time
large items within the Community Center or Ice Arena. Staff would administer the programs for
now.
Clay/Lehman offered Resolution No. 6921, A Resolution of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota,
Adopting the Shakopee Sponsorship Program, and moved its adoption. Motion carried 4-0.
Mark McNeill, City Administrator, presented Council with 5.F.5 which was removed from the
Consent Agenda as well as 13.F.l, concerning the Derby Day's celebration.
Mr. McNeill said that the Derby Day's Committee has presented items to Council that the City
will be participating in for this year's Derby Day's. Mr. McNeill stated that the requests are the
same items requested last year. Mr. McNeill noted the two changes which are that Derby Day's
will begin on Wednesday instead of Thursday. The other item is that the Sunday parade will be
held on 10th Avenue from Shakopee Town Square to the Jr. High School.
Official Proceedings of the July 7, 2009

Mr. McNeill said that the item that was deferred earlier was the Temporary 3.2 Percent Malt
Liquor License - Shakopee Jaycees, Inc. In the current memo, the beer sales are to end at 11:30
p.m. with the bar being cleared of alcohol by 12:00 a.m. and everyone out of Huber Park by 1:00
a.m. Mr. McNeill introduced a few Jaycee members who wished to address Council regarding
the beer sales.
Dana Listrud, 3876 Marschall Road, Shakopee Jaycee member, and Jack McGovern addressed
Council regarding the beer sales. Ms. Listrud said that the Shakopee Jaycee's make most of their
money from beer sales at community events. Ms. Listrud said that two years ago she asked
Council to increase the time of beer sales by one half hour. Council agreed to increase the time
as a probationary period. Ms. Listrud stated that in the 35 years the Jaycees have participated in
beer sales they have not had any incidents. Ms. Listrud asked Council to consider increasing the
time for beer sales by one half hour for this year's Derby Day's.
Jeff Tate, Police Chief, advised Council that he does not see an issue with extending the beer
sales by a half hour until 12:00 a.m., if they are willing to pick up the extra overtime for staffing.
LehmanlHeitzman moved to approve the application and grant a temporary on-sale 3-2 percent
malt liquor license to the Shakopee Jaycees, Inc., for the fenced in beer garden at Huber Park, on
Thursday, July 30, 2009 with sales to cease at 8:00 p.m.; and on Friday and Saturday, July 31 st
