John K. Anderson, City Administrator OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER 9, 1983 Mayor Reinke called the meeting to order at 5:05 p.m. with Cncl. Lebens, Wampach, Colligan and Vierling present. Cncl. Leroux arrived at 5:27 p.m. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Administrator, H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer, and Judith S. Cox, City Clerk. Wampach/Colligan moved to approve the application and grant a temporary 3.2 beer license to St. Francis Health Care Foundation in the lunchroom, adjoining hall and auditorium of St. Marks School for September 10, 1983. Motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer explained that an engineering firm would like to hire one of the City's technicians for three months and since the work load in the Engineering Department is down he thought such an arrangement could be mutually beneficial. Consensus of Council was to permit a City engineering technician to work for the firm if the workers compensation liability and payment of benefits during this period could be ironed out. The City Engineer explained that the City's application for a permit to work in public waterway has been approved by the Department of Natural Resources. He asked Council's permission for Public Works personnel to start clearing out the channel, as time permits, to prepare the way to construct the pedestrian bridge in Memorial Park. Councilmembers concurred. The City Administrator advised the Council of improvements made to Richard's Pub which will discourage patrons from trespassing on abutting residential property. Cncl. Leroux arrived at 5:27 p.m. There was a brief discussion on the sidewalk and parking lot improvements between the hospital and the courthouse and the lack of access for the handicapped.

Consensus of Council was to budget $760 to $830 in 1984 for an employee assistance program and evaluate the program at the end of 1984. Consensus was to leave the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission contribution to the general fund at $240,384.00. Mayor Reinke left the meeting at 7:33 p.m. to meet with the Fire Department. Consensus was not to fill the vacant position in the Park Department as a result of the resignation of Jerry Neisen. Professional services for•codifiers was added to the budget in the amount of $1,600.00. Council concurred with the City Engineer's recommendation to raise engineering fees by 6%, rather than reduce a technician to 3/4 time. Dues for Suburban Bate Authority was added in amount of $500.00. Discussion ensued on staffing the Police Department. Consensus was not to decrease the personnel in the Police Department for 1984, but to consider hiring a con- sultant to evaluate staffing needs for 1985. Regarding replacing the heat lost when shop doors are open, consensus was to install recirculating, ceiling hung fans with sock. Discussing ensued on whether or not to budget for a lobbyist, if needed, and for a consultant to do an analysis and prepare a report which will provide a firm argument for the By-Pass. Mayor Reinke returned at 9:59 p.m. Discussion ensued on a replacement for the City's electrical inspector who is retiring. Consensus was to increase the electrical fees to be consistent with the state fees. Mayor Reinke suggested looking at sharing an electrical inspector with.-neighboring communities. In order to budget for a lobbyist, consultant for the By-Pass, and not decrease personnel in the Police Department, consensus was to increase the estimated mil levy by approximately one mil. Staff was directed to bring back an itemization of what an approximate one mil increase over 1983 would be used for.

Background: On September 6, 1983 City Council adopted Resoultion No. 2154, A Resolution Declaring Cost To Be Assessed And Ordering Preparation Of Proposed Assessment And Calling For A Hearing On The Proposed Assessment Of Public Improvement No. 1982-5, Improvement Of Block 2, Timber Trails By Storm Sewer Lateral . The hearing is set for September 27th and City Council should hold the hearing to receive testimony as to whether the property values of property benefitted by this improvement increase an amount equal to the assessment. At the time this project was ordered, two properties were faced with the potential condemnation of their on-site disposal system because ponding water was submerging the drainfield. The proposed project eliminated that problem and now those systems function properly. There is no question that the property values increased an amount equal to the proposed assessment, therefore, it is recommended that City Council adopt Resolution No. 2164, A Resolution Adopting Assessments For Public Improvement No. 1982-5, Improvement Of Block 2, Timber Trails By Storm Sewer Lateral .

Anderson City Administrator FROM H. R. Spurrier ( ,�� City Engineer SUBJECT: Improvement of Alley inBlo k 50, Shakopee City by Paving DATE September 23, 1983 Introduction: Attached is Resolution No. 2163, a resolution adopting assessments for public improvement No. 1982-4, alley in Block 50, Shakopee City. Background: On September 6, 1983 City Council adopted Resolution No. 2155, A Resolution Declaring The Cost To Be Assessed And Ordering Preparation Of Proposed Assessment And Calling For A Hearing On The Proposed Assessments. City Council should hold the public hearing on the proposed assessment, hearing testimony as to whether the property values increase an amount equal to the proposed assessment. As the Feasibility Report specified, it is difficult to demonstrate if property values have increased an amount equal to the proposed assessment. The proposed improvement does enhance adjacent property, controls dust and noise, has reduced City maintenance cost and stabilized the vertical profile of the alley. These benefits are difficult to quantify, but in my view, they are worth the amount proposed to be assessed against these properties. Therefore, it is the recommendation that City Council adopt Resolution No. 2163, A Resolution Adopting Assessments For Public Improvement No. 1982-4, Improvement of Block 50, Shakopee City, By Paving. Action Requested: Adopt Resolution No. 2163, A Resolution Adopting ASsessments For Public Improvement No. 1982-4, Improvement of Block 50, Shakopee City, By Paving.

'r September 26 , 1983 C.., Robert F. Vierlirig 221 E.4th Ave . Shakopee , Minnesota Shakopee City Council 55379 City of Shakopee Re: Alley improvements 129 E. 1st Ave . in block-50 . Shakopee , Minnesota - 55379 Shakopee City Council: In answer to the letter of September 2, 1983, City of Shakopee , I am filing this written reply on the "forced assessment" on the paving of the alley in block-50, refer to my letter of August 2 , 1983, for the full history. First, the City Council should not use the words "propsed assessment: this should be changed to"forced assessment"by the Bureaucracy of the City of Shakopee . In plain english, "a few brown nosing, tax sucking, sanctimonious hypocrites" ! When we do get one or two good conscious Council-persons and a good level headed Mayor, instead of a Mayor that is a liar and a back-stabber, then we get the other council-person who are "non-compos mentis" ! Those that this "shoe" fits, wear it! I have no intension of paying for paving the alley in block-50, because the City of Shakopee refused to let me build a garage by the alleyway on my property, there-by denying me proper use of the alley in block-50 . I am certainly not going to pay for the extra wide paved opening and the extra wide paving done on the lots on the West end of the alleyway in block-50 . Only one half (2) of the lots facing the alley have an access or can possibily use the alley in block-50 . Why didn ' t the City just pave the West end of the alley? Do not tell me the City doesn't pave half an alley, because the City pave less then half of the alley for Minnesota Federal Savings and Loan! The paving in the alley of block- 50 is shaped like a wedge . Naturally the wedged side is on my sideof the alley and there is a gutter on my side of the alley that cars got stuck-in all winter long. Is this wedge shaped alley what our City manager calls "line-of-sight" surveying as he told me they do here in Shakopee? I can see what "line-of-sight" surveying does when I look down the crooked alleys in Shakopee , but then that matches alot of other things in Shakopee also! Why don 't the people on the Council have alleys and all nice and paved to set a good example for the rest of Shakopee? The City Manager also told me that if we wanted a light in the alley, we would have to have a petition for it. In my letter of Aufust 2, 1982, I explained that there was a light in the alley, but it was put on the West end of the alley. on a new pole , benefiting only the two people on the West end of the alley. The very large barn that was condemned over 50 years ago and the new double garage and shop on the other side stop the light from lighting up the rest of the alley. (2. ) Speaking of petitions , I would like the City of Shakopee 's con- ception and definition of a legal petition. We had a petition against the illegal "spot zoning" of a lot in block-50 with 26 names on it, only two people on the West end of the block were for the illegal "spot zoning" , but still the Council passed it. I went to go in court to fight it for myself and the other 25 people who were against it. I personally served the court papers on City attorney Coller, but he did not come to court against me , he hide behind two (2) judges and let them do his "dirty work" for him. So just what good is a petition in Shakopee? Another good example is the Senior Citizens high-raise , that should have been put on 'Wampack 's property. The Senior Citizens and petitions were all against putting it were it is, and I have a tape recording of ex-Mayor Harbrck lying to the Senior Citizens telling them he would do all that he could to help them stop it from being put where it is now. When it came to voting on it three (3) Council persons and the ex-Mayor were the only ones for it. Bor-Son Construction Company, who has had many lawsuits on building that they have built got the job of building it, and that building sire looks like it. All these things most certainly should tell you something! In 1961, I had bew wiring put in the house , at that time I ask that the City put in new in coming wires, but it was not done . For over 20 years my lights would go off and on during a wind or strom. Many times I would have to go out with a notched 2" X 4" so I could part the old lines. In the summer of 1981 I lost 32 days of work waiting for the City to fix my electric lines . This would not have happen if the City had put in the proper electrical service in to my property. When I wrote Mr. Van Hout about this matter, he told me that those electric&l lines were "good enough" for me . Last year, after trying for over 20 years, The City put in the new electricl service. Fun thing is that now with that new electrical service, my lights do not go off and on during a wind or strom, and I do not need my notched 2" X 4" now. Guess who was right? Whatabout the 3z days of work that I lost due to the City's falure to provide proper electrical service to my property? The City Manager also told me that I did not know what I was talking about when I told him that the West side of the street on sommerville between 3rd and 4th Ave. was already too low! Years back we wanted curb and gutter put there and when the City tryed to put it there they found out that they hit the strom drain and Bell telephone 's tile, so that that it was"too low" to put in curb and gutter. I would certainly say that it is "too low" already! As for the 35% majority (the Council should look up a dictionary to find the true definition of the word "majority" ) the Council doesn't stick with that either, look at the variations from one lot to another in the same block. Explain that to me. I want your answer back to me in writing only. • T c- (3 . ) This letter to the Shakopee City Council is to be read aloud in front of the City Council, in its entirety, on the 27th of September 1983, in public.

Before undertaking a large amount of staff time to review this opportunity, some support and ideas from the City Council would be useful . Background : A summary of how City issued mortgage revenue bonds work was distributed as item 3 . 04 in the "Housing Program" guide dis- tributed to HRA Commissioners with the April 5, 1983 agenda and discussed at a special session April 26th. This summary will be updated if Council wants to take on this project . The program basically provides lower interest rates through the issuance of tax-free revenue bonds and buy downs with local contributions . The builders who approached City staff are Rich Logeais and Jim Allen. Bonds to implement the program were just sold in Savage and the builders are excited about the program. They have pro- vided the attached analysis of the economic impact of housing on a City which was prepared by Larry Laukka for the City of Savage when it was considering the program. If Shakopee wants to apply for bonding authority in 1984, the initial steps must be taken immediately. However, since many issues need to be considered related to Shakopee participation, staff judged that a preliminary discussion with City Council should be undertaken. Some important issues are : 1 . There are few buildable lots in Shakopee right now so participation would necessitate the creation of new lots , which is both a problem and opportunity. 2 . There are few areas immediately suitable for subdivision, and the land available could involve significant develop- ment issues . Specifically, land owned by Roberts , Lemmons and Hauer to the south of Southview, Eagle Bluff Second, JEJ and Hauer' s Additions have drainage and perhaps sewer alloca- tion problems which need to be addressed . a) The City Engineer has indicated that drainage in the vicinity of the Upper Valley Drainageway could be handled by detention areas prior to the execution of a joint powers agreement with the townships which would clear the way for the creation of the drainageway. w Shakopee City Council (' Mortgage Revenue Bonds Page -2- b) The Metro Council has suggested it would consider, with a ten day response time, a request to trade existing sewer allocation to land in Robert ' s pit . This land is currently to be held back from sanitary sewer improvements until after 1985 . c ) Robert ' s pit is blighted from the graveloperations previously operated there and may need special develop- ment assistance to be feasible . Tax-increment funds for site improvement would be a possibility. 3 . In order to submit a competitive allocation, the City must provide for a significant local contribution. In Savage most of the local contribution came from developer commitments and write-downs . However, the City did allocate tax-incre- ment funds consisting of 50. of the taxes over a five year period and tied to equity participation of the City in the properties . The City needs to find an alternate source or a way to use tax-increment within its current policy eg. for Robert ' s pit area since it is a blighted area in need of redevelopment . 4. If the City decides to participate it must hold a public hearing with 30 days notice , after which it adopts a housing plan incorporating the proposal . The plan is then submitted to the Met Council which has 45 days for review. All of this must happen before the January 1 , 1984, application deadline . Therefore , to enable continued consideration of the proposal a public hearing should be advertised by October 5, 1983 . Requested Action: Discuss whether the staff should continue consideration of this program and if so, direct advertisement of a public hearing to present the proposed housing plan on November 15, 1983.

Savage, Mn. 55378 Dear Mayor Hopp: Our recent discussions about financing programs, zoning codes and related housing standards prompted me to pass on to you some statistics. I serve on the National Association of Homebuilders Board of Directors and this organizations Economics Department just completed an analysis of what home ownership and house building does for the economics of a community, state and nation. The attachment describes in part, the economic impact caused by the production of 166 homes. I have assumed that; 1) we are successful in using the $10,000,000 Mortage Revenue Bond Program 2) adopt the new R-2 zoning guidelines being proposed 3)' and that the $10,000,000 produces 166, $70,000 homes which each carry a $60,000 mortgage. The analysis does not project the economics produced by the 166 households as they pursue homeownership and life after construction. It would be interesting and probably not to difficult to project the local impact of 166 households, earning say $25,000 per year per household ($4,000,000+ annually) . They buy cars, gas, food, clothing, liquor, rakes, shovels, haircuts, pay taxes, go to church, school., etc. , etc. The economic impact of people who own homes is enormous, they do use services that cost i.e. fire, police, street maintenance and the likes but they always more than pay.

That is you take the value of a home less the raw land component, multiply by 2 and you produce the additional economic activity that housing generates ($70,000 - 3,000 x 2 = $134,000) This relates to the paragraph in my letter which suggests that the real impact of the first addition to GNP is great. It goes on of course because goods and services need be continually generated to serve the household through their economic and social life. C 1c MEMO TO: John K.

Anderson, City Administrator RE: Organizational Analysis DATE: September 23 , 1983 Introduction The City Council , at its September 13 , 1983 budget worksession, decided to continue with the current level of staffing in the Police Department and to explore the hiring of a management consultant to evaluation staffing levels . Council also discussed alternatives to the hiring of a new auditor that including an alternative which would bring in a consultant to give us a one time opinion on our financial management and internal controls in the Finance Department . Findings There are a number of consulting firms that do the type of work the City is interested in having done ; however, most of those firms are in larger cities like Chicago and Washington, DC. I have been able to identify at least two firms to date that do this type of work in the Metropolitan area . They are Arthur Young & Company and Watson & Associates . The preliminary estimate from Arthur Young is attached and the preliminary estimate from Watson & Associates will be available Tuesday night . By telephone I have learned that Tom Watson' s preliminary proposal will be in the neighborhood of $15 ,000. Hiring a financial and/or management analyst can be beneficial to the City in two ways . First , the consultant might identify areas in which changes could be made to obtain significant savings for the City. Secondly, the consultant may find few changes that would result in any significant savings to the City, but this would provide a positive message to City Council and staff that we are on the right track. The City' s current General Fund budget is $2 .4 million and a consultant hired at $20,000 represents an investment of . 8% of that $2 .4 million. As noted in Jim Fox' s letter the normal results of a management analysis leads to a savings from 10-15% over current costs and Tom Watson says that it has been their experience that for every dollar invested in the analysis there experience is that the city experiences $3.00 in savings . Of course , two obtain the savings Council will undoubtedly have policy decisions to make. Alternatives 1 . Authorize staff to seek proposals from management consulting firms for an operational analysis of City departments . 2 . Authorize staff to contact these same firms for operational analysis of the Police Department and the Finance Department only. Organizational Analysis • Page Two September 23 , 1983 3 . Drop the idea of hiring a management analyst to do an operational analysis of City departments . 4. Other combinations of 1 through 3 above . Recommendations I recommend strongly that Council pursue alternative No. 1 with the bulk of the work by the consultant to be completed by December 31 , 1983 so that the expense can be charged to the 1983 budget . This operational analysis would answer questions for Council both in the near term and long term so that Council can make staffing decisions based upon the recommendations of a knowledgeable third party . Action Requested Direct the appropriate City staff to contact two or more management consulting firms to obtain firm proposals for an operational analysis of the Police Department , Public Works Department , financial opera- tions and general governmental departments . JKA/jms MEMO TO : Mayor and City Council FROM; John K. Anderson, City Administrator RE : What a Management Analyst Looks For DATE : September 23 , 1983 Tom Watson of Watson & Associates briefly explained what he does in a way I felt was reasonably clear. Work Distribution Analysis - Analysis of how people are assigned to do certain tasks - Reveals people performing duplicative tasks , unnecessary tasks , poor scheduling by supervisor, etc . Work Flow Analysis - Analysis of work ( task) as it flows from one person to the next - Reveals for example how many people sign off on a time sheet , building permit , plat , etc . before it is approved to streamline the process and make it more efficient Organizational Analysis - Analysis of work between department to determine if each is performing an overlaping or like task such as a personnel function that could be done in one department JKA/jms • g Ln1 �XLfl f©flJJEJ© ARTHUR YOUNG & COMPANY 1000 PILLSBURY CENTER MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55402 (612) 343-1000 prririvF September 22 , 1983 °- y SEP 2 1S33 Mr. John Anderson City Manager City of Shakopee 129 East First Avenue Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 Dear Mr. Anderson : I enjoyed our meeting the other day to discuss your possible need for an outside review of the City' s operations. You clarified a number of initial questions I had , and I hope that you now have a better idea of what you might expect from a review. To briefly summarize , you have two major objectives. One is to obtain a review of the financial management and internal controls of the City. You have had the same auditor for about 20 years , and though you have no major complaints or reservations about their work, you would like to have a review of the financial area to verify that everything is in order. The other concern is to identify appropriate work force levels in all City areas, with emphasis on the largest departments of police and public works . You are faced with a few staff-level decisions now and need support for staff cuts or staff increases. However , you would also like to have this work force analysis to help guide future staff decisions so you will have a rational plan for adding or reducing staff in the future as changes in the City occur. To evaluate the financial management area, we would need to review your internal controls , cash management , investment accounting treatment practices, cash flow, and bank agreements. This review would include an examination of your document flow, policies and procedures , duty assignments, and related areas. On the basis of these reviews we would provide you with an opinion of your current practices and an identification of areas where improvements could be made. If applicable, our recommendations will identify where increased "cash" may be available to the City based on a change in cash management practices. Our past experience in cities the size of Shakopee • zt% rALLNUN mum Mr. John Anderson September 20 , 1983 Page 2 indicates that these reviews can identify sufficient "cash" to pay your salary each year. What needs to be done to address the second objective is an analysis of work force activities to identify the number of different work tasks, their duration and frequency. This would identify what is done , and how much time it normally takes to do the work. Then , by calculating how many hours are currently available from the existing work force in a year, we can identify the number of employees needed in each department under current conditions. Based on the differences between these two numbers , we will be in a position to identify how the work might be organized differently to achieve economies , and to identify policy alternatives available to the Council which would achieve the same objective. Normally, a work force analysis of this nature can identify a savings of up to 10 to 15 percent over current costs. These are obtained within 12 to 18 months of implementing the recommenda- tions. In the work force analysis, many of the savings available involve making decisions which affect the level of City services, and therefore are of a policy nature. While we can identify the policy alternatives available based on the evidence , ultimately the decision rests with the Council . For your planning , I have provided some rough fee estimates to perform the services outlined above. We would need to spend more time to identify a more accurate figure , but I believe these are reasonably accurate: Analysis Area Estimated Fee Financial Management Review $ 5 ,000 - $ 7 ,000 Work Force Analysis Police Department 6 ,000 - 9 ,000 Public Works 5 ,000 - 8 ,000 City Hall 4 ,000 - 7 ,000 Total Estimated Fee $20 ,000 - $31 ,000 Normally projects of this nature can be completed within three to four months' time. Mr. John Anderson September 20 , 1983 Page 3 John, this is a preliminary letter , and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Please let me know how the Council would like to proceed. Very truly yours, (7/4; James C. Fox / 0 c11 MEMO T0: John K. Anderson, City Administrator ';fryLy 1/J FROM: Judith S .

Anderson, City Administrator RE: Creation of New Capital Improvement Fund and Elimination of the Existing PIR Fund DATE: September 23 , 1983 Introduction At Council ' s regular September 16 , 1983 meeting, I asked that Council table action on Resolution No. 2161 and Ordinance No. 134 so that I could review them with the Finance Director, City Attorney and City Clerk. Meeting I reviewed Council ' s initial request with the Finance Director and asked him if he had any specific information that would clearly show the financial management guidelines that address the creation of municipal funds . Attached is an excerpt from the "Principals of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting" addressing that request . Please note the bracketed paragraph headed Number of Funds . This clearly establishes the guide- lines for the establishment of municipal funds . It also explains why municipalities should not create a large number of funds each with its own set of rules and regulations . I also asked the Finance Director to research our records to determine how the Capital Equipment Revolving Fund was created. That particular fund was created by simple Council motion on April 3 , 1979 , indicating that the creation of municipal funds need not be an overly formal process . The City Attorney, City Clerk and I have met and reviewed the original two resolutions and the changes we propose are incorporated in the attached resolution and ordinance. Alternatives 1 . Approve Resolution No. 2161 and Ordinance No. 134 . 2 . Take no action on either Resolution No. 2161 or Ordinance No. 134 and maintain the status quo. 3 . Provide staff with some other directives .

Adopted in session of the Shakopee City Council , Shakopee, Minnesota this day of , 1983 . Mayor of the City of Shakopee 1 171a0, Memo To: John K. Anderson, City Administrator From: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director Re: Budget Information Date: September 23, 1983 1. Hiring freeze for Public Works (Park Dept.) . The letter previously received from the Union makes it unclear whether the Union representative understood the City's position regarding a hiring freeze. At this time it is not clear if the Union will go along with the City and they may contest the freeze. If the Union does not go along with the City, eligibility for the CETA and other employment programs will be lost for one year. Council should consider appropriating $20,000 for part- time (seasonal) help in the Park Dept. to carry us through the one year. 2. Restoration of full funding of Local Government Aid. State revenues are running ahead of projections. Because of this, Governor Perpich, Senator Schmitt, Chairman of the Local and Urban Affairs Committee, Senator Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Tax Committee, and Representative Tommlinson, Chairman of the House Tax Committee, have pledged to support full funding of local government aid for 1984. The legislator will probably act on this matter in March of 1984. What this means for Shakopee is that we would be one of 318 cities receiving additional money when full funding is restored. Proposed or estimated in the 1984 budget is $383,779 for LGA. If full funding is restored the City would receive an additional $54, 199 for a total of $437,978. 3. Disposition of approximate one mill increase. 1 Police Officer $33,640 Part-Time Salaries-Park (1 above) 20,000 Net Increase from list of 9/6 Approved at 9/13 Work Session 7,740 Allow for Uncollectable 2,800 Contingency 5,820 $70,000 4. Does Council want to count on the $54,000 from #2 to reduce the one mill tax increase?
