MINUTES OF THE
SHAKOPEE ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
Regular Session
November 20, 1991
Chairperson Drees called the meeting to order at 7: 00 p.m. with
Commissioners Otto, Stolarcek, Case, Drees, Ward and Kelly present.
Commissioners Roman, Mars and Reinke were absent. Barry Stock,
Assistant City Administrator was also present.
Stolarcek/Otto moved to approve the minutes of the October 16, 1991
meeting as kept. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stock stated that the Dial-A-Ride contract with National School
Bus expires on April 15, 1992 . At the last Energy and
Transportation Committee meeting, it was suggested to invite
officials from National School Bus to our meeting to answer some
questions regarding Dial-A-Ride service. Mr. Stock noted that
Dennis Ridley, John Mathews and Joe Morley, representing National
School Bus were in the audience to answer questions.
Discussion ensued on dispatching problems that we are experiencing
with Dial-A-Ride. Mr. John Mathews stated that National School Bus
is in the process of putting in place a computerized dispatching
program that will hopefully resolve some of the dispatching
problems that we have been experiencing. Mr. Stock questioned an
exact time frame for its implementation. Mr. Mathews stated that
the computerized dispatching program would be in place by January.
Mr. Stock questioned why the cost for service is going up from
$19. 50 per hour to $22 . 12 per hour, especially since the City will
not be receiving any new Dial-A-Ride vehicles. Mr. Morley stated
that the present rate for service has been in place for three years
with no increase. The cost for salaries and related administrative
cost have increased over the past three years. In terms of the
Dial-A-Ride vehicles, he noted that National has a six year
depreciation schedule for most of its vehicles. Mr. Morley stated
that Shakopee's vehicles still have relatively low miles in
comparison to other Dial-A-Ride vehicles that they are operating
within the metropolitan area. He did note that if a vehicle is in
need of major maintenance that it can be retired prior to the six
year amortization date. Mr. Stock questioned whether the proposed
rate of $22 . 12 per hour would be fixed for a three year period, if
a three year extension was granted. Mr. Morley responded in the
affirmative.
Discussion ensued regarding persons who might be dropped off at a
wrong location. Mr. Stock questioned how this could occur. Mr.
Ridley stated that generally problems such as this occur because a
person calls after they have booked a regular appointment and
requests a change at midday. Mr. Ridley stated that the new
Minutes of the Page - 2
Energy and Transportation Committee November 20, 1991
computer system should help to resolve change of service requests
problems. However, when changes are made at midstream it is
generally more difficult to correct problems.
There were no other questions for National School Bus. Mr. Morley
stated that this past summer, Ms. Rhiger, one of Shakopee's Dial-A-
Ride drivers came in first place at the Minnesota State Bus Rodeo
in the Para Transit Division this past summer. Mr. Morley
presented to Mr. Stock a jacket that he would like the City to
present to Ms. Rhiger.
Discussion ensued on the extension of the Dial-A-Ride contract.
Ms. Stolarcek stated that she felt that if the rate of $22 . 12 per
hour can be fixed for the duration of the contract extension that
the contract should be extended for a 36 month period. Mr. Stock
stated that he originally recommended a one year contract with a
two year extension provision. However, in light of the fact that
the $22 . 12 per hour rate would be fixed for three years, he also
felt that a 36 month extension would be appropriate. Mr. Stock
stated that the contract could also include a provision for a 90 or
120 day unilateral cancellation at the option of the City. This
would allow the City of Shakopee to get out of the Dial-A-Ride
contract for whatever reason deemed appropriate, in the event that
a cheaper alternative for Dial-A-Ride service becomes available.
Ward/Stolarcek moved to recommend to City Council that the Dial-A-
Ride contract with National School Bus be extended for a 36 month
period, at a rate of $22 . 12 per hour. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stock stated that the Vanpool contract with Vanpool Services
Inc. expires on April 16, 1992 . The last contract extension
provided in the contract was executed last year. Therefore, it
would be appropriate for the Energy and Transportation Committee to
recommend to City Council that the appropriate City officials be
authorized to solicit Vanpool requests for proposals.
Mr. Drees questioned how many Vanpool providers might submit
proposals. Mr. Stock stated that he does not expect more than two
or three proposals. Commissioner Stolarcek questioned whether or
not we could acquire our own vehicles. Mr. Stock stated that the
Regional Transit Board has not determined whether or not opt-out
communities can use their opt-out funds for capital equipment
purchases. Mr. Stock stated that he hoped to have this issue
resolved by the Regional Transit Board sometime next year. The
other issue of concern regarding the outright purchase of vehicles
is the insurance factor. Mr. Stock stated that Shakopee' s transit
system is relatively small and the cost for the insurance might be
prohibitive. Mr. Stock stated that he has had discussions with the
Southwest Metro Transit administrator and the Minnesota Valley
Transit administrator regarding the acquisition of vehicles. They
are also interested in acquiring vehicles. They also have the
Minutes of the Page - 3
Energy and Transportation Committee November 20, 1991
financial means and fleet size to be able to obtain insurance at a
reasonable rate. They have tentatively agreed to the concept of
potentially leasing vehicles to the City of Shakopee for both Dial-
A-Ride and Vanpool services. Mr. Stock stated that if this
arrangement can be made, we should be able to see a reduction in
our Dial-A-Ride and Vanpool costs. However, until such time that
the capital funding issue can be resolved, it would be appropriate
to maintain the status quo in terms of our Vanpool contracting
arrangement.
Ward/Stolarcek moved to recommend to City Council that the
appropriate City officials be authorized to solicit request for
proposals for Vanpool services for the City of Shakopee.
Mr. Stock stated that the refuse/recycling request for proposal
deadline was November 18, 1991. Mr. Stock stated that the City
received six proposals for refuse/recycling collection service.
Mr. Stock stated that the current refuse/recycling contract with
Waste Management Inc. expires on February 15, 1992 .
Mr. Stock stated that prior to receiving the request for proposals,
he drafted an evaluation criteria checklist. The checklist was
comprised of six different components that relate to the
refuse/recycling program in Shakopee. Each component was weighted
according to its significance. Mr. Stock noted that none of the
refuse/recycling providers were aware of the evaluation criteria
identified by staff. Upon receiving the proposals, Mr. Stock noted
that he and the Public Works Director independently ranked each
proposal based on the criteria identified in the ranking system.
Since there were six proposals, the company with the best proposal
in relation to each evaluation category was ranked on a scale on a
scale from one to six, with one being the best proposal. Upon
assigning a ranking to each of the evaluation criteria, the ranking
was applied to the weighted score to determine the assigned
liability point for each criteria. The assigned liability points
were then added for each evaluation category for an overall
composite liability score. The company with the lowest liability
score, based on all the evaluation criteria, is the company with
the most complete and comprehensive proposal for refuse/recycling
services. Upon independently ranking each proposal, Mr. Hutton and
Mr. Stock combined their ranking to establish an overall ranking of
the proposals. In each case, Waste Management came out on top as
the best overall proposal, followed by Knutson.
Mr. Stock stated that the purpose of the request for proposal is to
obtain a service level that best accommodates the needs of the
residents and the City of Shakopee. Cost is not the main
determining factor in selecting a provider. Mr. Stock stated that
in reviewing the proposals, he felt it was important to obtain a
service level that maintained the provision of refuse collection
carts by the hauler. Discussion ensued on this issue. Ms. Case
Minutes of the Page - 4
Energy and Transportation Committee November 20, 1991
stated that she felt the refuse carts were fantastic and should be
maintained. Commissioner Ward concurred and stated that under the
previous system, Shakopee residents had to obtain their own refuse
containers and that they had to be replaced on a regular basis.
She stated that the former system was also not very pleasing from
an aesthetic stand point. Mr. Stock stated that the refuse
containers also provided a consistent system that reduced the
potential for rodents. Mr. Drees also stated that the current
containers were aesthetically pleasing and generally kept garbage
from blowing all over the neighborhoods.
Commissioner Case questioned the extra container rate proposed by
Waste Management. She stated that the cost for the second
container should be equivalent to the cost of the first container.
Mr. Stock stated that if this was the desire of the committee that
the contract could be worded in such a fashion to provide a second
container at a cost equal to the first container with the
difference between Waste Management's rate and the City' s rate to
be retained by the City of Shakopee. Commissioner Stolarcek
concurred that the extra container rate should be comparable to the
rate of the first container.
Commissioner Kelly stated that Aagard's rate for service was
approximately $1.50 per month less than Waste Managements. Mr.
Stock stated that while Mr. Kelly was correct, Aagard' s proposal
was weak in every other respect. Mr. Stock stated that the
proposal was extremely vague. Additionally, Mr. Stock stated that
two providers, Aagard and Randy's Sanitation did not submit the
required financial security. Mr. Kelly questioned whether or not
the proposal specifications clearly stated the need for a financial
security to be submitted. Mr. Stock read that section of the
request for proposals, requiring that a $25, 000 performance bond,
letter of credit, cashiers check or some other form of financial
security acceptable to the City of Shakopee be submitted with the
proposals specifications. Mr. Kelly stated that since Aagard and
Randy's Sanitation did not see fit to submit the required financial
security that their proposals should be eliminated from
consideration. Mr. Stock stated that the purpose of the financial
security was to insure that the provider selected will follow
through on their proposal and enter into a contract, if selected to
perform the work. The financial security section of the proposal
also stated that the security would be returned to all unsuccessful
contractors within 15 days after the selection a contractor.
Discussion ensued on the possibility of going to contracted
billing. Mr. Stock stated that, at the present time, billing is
handled through Shakopee Public Utilities. Mr. Stock stated that
this has presented some problems in the past. However, he did not
feel it was worth an extra $1. 00 per month to Shakopee residents to
have the billing changed from its current system to contractor
billing. Commissioner Ward questioned whether or not the City of
Minutes of the Page - 5
Energy and Transportation Committee November 20, 1991
Shakopee is incurring cost as a result of handling the billing
system. Mr. Stock stated that, yes the City is incurring cost but
that it is being offset by the 150 per month administrative fee,
tacked on to each resident's monthly bill. Mr. Stock also stated
that the City retains approximately 150 for each refuse extra
service coupon sold.
Discussion ensued on moving toward a closed refuse collection
system. Mr. Stock stated that, in his opinion, this request for
proposal process verified once again the need to move towards a
closed refuse collection system. He stated that he felt the refuse
collection cost quoted by the providers were somewhat inflated,
including Waste Management's, due to the fact that we cannot
guarantee a certain number of customers. Mr. Stock stated that if
Waste Management is not awarded the contract, the company that is
awarded the contract has no guaranteed access to the customers
presently served by Waste Management. Technically, the City of
Shakopee has no means at this time to require that Waste Management
remove all their refuse containers from Shakopee residents homes,
currently under contract. This would place the contractor, who was
awarded the bid, in a very difficult situation. Mr. Stock stated
that under our current open system, the transition to another
provider could be very difficult and confusing for Shakopee
residents. Commissioner Ward stated that she also felt that, in
order to have an effective refuse/recycling collection program that
we need to go to a closed refuse collection program for at least
the urban area. Mr. Stock stated that if we ever do move towards
a closed refuse collection system, that he would propose to
contract the City out in two service zones, urban and rural.
Commissioner Stolarcek questioned why we did not proceed with a
closed refuse collection program prior to the solicitation of bids.
Commissioner Ward stated that it was discussed but that the City
Attorney felt that the question of a taking might be raised by some
of the existing refuse haulers. Commissioner Stolarcek questioned
whether or not other communities within the metropolitan area had
closed refuse collection programs. Mr. Stock responded in the
affirmative. Commissioner Kelly suggested that the contract for
refuse/recycling collection service include a unilateral 90 or 120
day cancellation provision. This would allow the City of Shakopee
to get out of the refuse contract if indeed we move towards a
closed refuse collection system in the future and feel that it
might be beneficial to re-bid the urban service area prior to the
completion of the three year extension.
Mr. Kelly questioned whether or not the City will be licensing
refusing collection haulers in 1992 . Mr. Stock responded in the
affirmative.
Mr. Stock stated that if the Energy and Transportation Committee
wishes to address the closed refuse collection concept in 1992 that
Minutes of the Page - 6
Energy and Transportation Committee November 20, 1991
it be discussed at their next meeting, when their work plan for
1992 is developed.
Stolarcek/Otto moved to recommend to City Council that the
appropriate City officials be authorized to execute a 3 year
contract with a 3 year extension provision for refuse/recycling
collection with Waste Management Inc. Motion carried with
Commissioner Kelly opposed.
Kelly/Case moved to recommend that the refuse/recycling contract
include a 120 day unilateral cancellation provision at the option
of the City. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stock stated that, in response to the 1990 Transit Audit Report
that was completed by the Regional Transit Report, staff would like
to propose several transit policy amendments at this time. Staff
is proposing that the additional driver mileage - Policy No. 11 and
the reimbursement for car pool cost policy - Policy No. 15 be
amended, increasing the mileage reimbursement rate to 27 . 50. This
figure corresponds with the IRS reimbursement rate.
Ward/Stolarcek moved to recommend to City Council approval of the
amendments to Vanpool Policy No. 11 and No. 15, increasing the
mileage reimbursement rate to 27.50 per mile. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Stock stated that he has received a number of complaints from
parents of children who are age 5 and under who have been utilizing
the Dial-A-Ride program. Mr. Stock stated that most of the
complaints stem from the fact that on occasion, Dial-A-Ride
dispatching errors are made and occasionally children are
transported to the wrong destination point or not in a timely
manner. Mr. Stock suggested that perhaps it would be appropriate
for the Committee to consider a policy limiting the minimum
ridership age for children who are not accompanied by a responsible
adult. Mr. Stock stated that due to the increasing number of
kidnapping cases lately and the trauma that a child would incur as
a result of being dropped off at a wrong location, the City may be
in an undesirable liability situation.
Commissioner Ward stated that she felt there should be a policy
setting a minimum Dial-A-Ride ridership age for kids not
accompanied by a responsible adult. Commissioner Case and
Stolarcek concurred. Mr. Drees stated that he felt that children
who are age 5 are generally responsible enough to ride Dial-A-Ride.
He questioned whether a cross the board sweeping policy for
children 5 and under should be adopted. Mr. Drees suggested that
perhaps we could gather input from daycare providers who are
utilizing Dial-A-Ride service to get their input on the
establishment of such a policy. Mr. Drees also questioned the
number of children, age 5 and under, who are utilizing the Dial-A-
Minutes of the Page - 7
Energy and Transportation Committee November 20, 1991
Ride service. He questioned whether or not we were talking about
a few isolated cases. Commissioner Ward suggested that National
School Bus officials be contacted to determine their company
position on carrying children ages 5 and under who are
unaccompanied by an adult. It was the consensus of the Committee
that perhaps it would be appropriate to schedule a public hearing
to solicit input from daycare providers and other parents who are
utilizing the Dial-A-Ride service. Mr. Stock stated that he would
place this item on the January agenda for further discussion, prior
to the establishment of a formal public hearing date.
Mr. Stock then reviewed the recycling and transit monthly reports.
Mr. Stock stated that at the last meeting, the possibility of
entering into a cost share arrangement with Minnesota Valley
Transit for persons who are living outside the Shakopee City limits
and utilizing our Vanpool program was discussed. Minnesota Valley
Transit position is that they are not interested in a cost share
arrangement since they are aware of several Shakopee persons who
are utilizing the transit services offered in the Minnesota Valley
Transit system. They feel that it would simply be better for
everyone to simply adopt ridership reciprocity.
Mr. Stock stated that the fall yard waste collection day went well,
considering the fact that it was one week after the Halloween
blizzard. Mr. Stock stated that the approximate cost for the
disposal of the yard waste collected will be approximately
$1, 000.00. Cost for advertising the program was approximately
$700. 00. Originally $4,500. 00 was set aside for this program as
part of the Scott County grant agreement. Mr. Stock stated that he
is proposing to use the remaining funds to offset costs associated
with the annual Christmas tree disposal program. Mr. Stock
questioned if the Committee felt this was a reasonable approach.
Mr. Kelly questioned whether or not the funds had to be expended in
1991. Mr. Stock stated that he thought the funds had to be
expended in 1991. He stated that he would contact the county to
determine if the agreement could be amended with the funds being
carried over into 1992 . If the agreement cannot be amended, Mr.
Stock suggested implementing the reduced cost Christmas tree
disposal program as previously discussed. It was the consensus of
the Committee to have staff contact the county to determine if the
funds can be carried over into 1992 and whether or not they can be
used to offset the cost of the Christmas tree disposal program.
Stolarcek/Ward moved to adjourn the meeting at 8 : 55 p.m. Motion
carried unanimously.

SHAKOPEE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
City Council Chambers
November 20, 1991
Chairperson Mars called the meeting to order at 5: 35 p.m. with the
following members present: Mike Beard, Jon Albinson, Bill Mars,
Mike Pennington and Jane DuBois. Commissioners Brandmire and
Miller were absent. Barry Stock, Assistant City Administrator was
also present.
Albinson/Beard moved to approve the minutes of the October 16, 1991
minutes as kept. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stock gave a brief economic development report. He noted that
Heat-n-Glow is currently in the process of siting a new 150, 000 sq.
ft. facility. Mr. Stock noted that he and Mr. Albinson met with
Heat-n-Glow representatives to discuss the possibility of
developing in Shakopee. Mr. Stock stated that Heat-n-Glow is
presently considering a site in Burnsville that is within an
existing tax increment district. Mr. Stock explained the tax
increment implications for the Burnsville site as compared to a
potential Shakopee site. Mr. Stock noted that Heat-n-Glow has over
200 employees and plans to double their facility in size within the
next five years. Discussion ensued on the possibility of
encouraging Heat-n-Glow to locate in Shakopee. Mr. Stock stated
that with the significant tax increment difference between
Burnsville and Shakopee, he was not very optimistic. Mr. Stock
noted that he did request the mayor to contact Heat-n-Glow
representatives to explain some of the positive factors that Heat-
n-Glow would experience if they located in Shakopee.
Discussion ensued on the CDC One and Five Year Work Plan. Mr.
Stock stated that the Downtown Committee has been discussing the
possibility of disbanding. The Downtown Committee members
recognize that they are a subcommittee of the Community Development
Commission and that they could be recreated as a subcommittee at a
later date if their input is needed for a particular project as it
relates to the downtown area. Several of the Downtown Committee
members have also indicated interest in serving on the CDC.
Commissioner DuBois stated that she felt the CDC should be
comprised of different representatives from different sections of
the community. She has questioned in the past how business owners
in the Shakopee Valley Mall or on the east side feel about a
special committee that was created for the downtown area. Mr.
Albinson stated that Shakopee is somewhat unique in the
metropolitan area in that we have a downtown. He did not see the
Downtown Committee as a special interest committee but that there
was a need to preserve and enhance Shakopee's downtown.
Commissioner Beard stated that he felt that it was somewhat awkward
having the Downtown Committee making recommendations to the CDC and
then discussing them at the CDC level for a recommendation to City
Council. He also noted that it was time consuming for staff to be
Minutes of the Page - 2
Community Development Commission November 20, 1991
staffing two committees when one committee might be able to handle
to business at this time. He also noted that if the Downtown
Committee disbands at this time that the CDC could always recreate
a subcommittee to look at a special issue as it relates to the
downtown area. Mr. Albinson concurred. He noted that the CDC has
been fairly successful with several other subcommittees that have
been created over the past two years. He stated that subcommittees
should be developed for a specific issue and that their existence
should be time certain. Mr. Stock noted that the Downtown
Committee will be discussing this issue in greater detail at their
next meeting.
Mr. Stock stated that the Downtown Committee is presently reviewing
informal proposals regarding a conceptual image study of the
downtown area. The purpose of the study would be to visually
display the impact of the mini bypass on the existing downtown
area. The Downtown Committee believes that such a study would be
useful in stimulating discussion on the possible redevelopment of
property on the north side of 1st Ave. Mr. Stock stated that the
approximate cost for such a study would be $5, 000. Mr. Beard
stated that he felt such a study should be included in the CDC' s
One Year Work Plan. He concurred that many residents cannot
visualize the aesthetic impact of the bridge on the downtown area.
Discussion then ensued on the possible development options for the
north side of 1st Ave.
Commissioner Beard questioned whether or not any study has ever
been completed on the possibility of locating a community center or
some aspect that might normally be included in a community center
in the downtown area. He also questioned whether or not a
riverfront development plan has ever been discussed. Mr. Stock
stated that several years ago the Downtown Committee did discuss
the possibility of pursuing a downtown riverfront plan. However,
the Committee recognized that a consultant would have to be hired
to assist in the project development. Because of the cost factor
involved, the issue was never pursued. In terms of a community
center, the Downtown Committee has discussed the possibility of
utilizing Huber Park or the Library area for some type of community
building that would serve to attract residents to the downtown
area. Mr. Stock noted that perhaps, after the Municipal Facility
Committee completes its survey to identify residents' needs, that
some of the needs identified could be best served in a facility in
the downtown area and some in a larger complex south of the Sr.
High School. Mr. Albinson stated that he felt the concept of a
riverfront development plan should be included in the Five Year
Work Plan.
Discussion ensued on the property within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area and vacant property within the Industrial Park. Mr.
Mars stated that the Planning Commission has developed a One and
Five Year Work Plan that addresses MUSA line expansion issues.
Minutes of the Page - 3
Community Development Commission November 20, 1991
Mr. Mars suggested that the brainstorming session for goals and
objectives be continued at the December meeting.
Mr. Stock stated that the Scott County Economic Development
Coalition is working on the possible development of a Scott County
profile. The Coalition has found a company that will produce and
publish an economic development profile free of charge. Mr. Stock
stated that the profile would be a professionally produced, high
quality magazine. The company would provide said service to the
Coalition free of charge. The company makes money off the project
through the ads that are sold in the publication.
Mr. Stock noted that the Coalition also has been successful in
having its first SBA loan approved. Mr. Stock stated that the
total project cost was $240, 000. The SBA financed amount was
$100, 000. The project generated approximately five new jobs within
the City of Savage.
Albinson/Pennington moved to adjourn the meeting at 6: 50 p.m.
Motion carried unanimously.

FROM: Judith S. Cox, City ClerkC't
RE: Minutes of November 6, 1991
DATE: November 20, 1991
At the City Council meeting on November 19th there was
discussion on the accuracy of a motion within the minutes of
November 6th dealing with approving an appraisal for land within
the moratorium area. The minutes of November 6th were approved as
printed and staff was asked to listen to the tape and advise
Council whether or not the motion was correct.
I have listened to the tape and the main motion did authorize
an appraisal of 57 acres not 78 acres. The discussion then
addressed the roadway within the moratorium area and whether or not
57 acres was an accurate number. The motion was then amended to
read obtaining an appraisal for approximately 57 acres.
Although the main motion should have stated 57 acres instead
of 78 acres, the amendment does reflect council 's final desire
since it states approximately 57 acres. Since the minutes were
approved as printed, no changes are appropriate at this time. I
have talked to the recording secretary about the error. We
apologize for the error and we will be more careful in the future.

V. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PET GROOMING -
SNYDER
Chrmn. Kahleck opened the public hearing to consider an
application for a conditional use permit to operate a pet
grooming business at 638 East Third Avenue.
The Assistant Planner stated that the applicant, Deborah Rose
Snyder, is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a
dog grooming business from her residence.
Comm. Christensen questioned the allowance of a home
occupation sign in a residential district. The City Planner
responded these signs are allowed for a minimum square footage
for identification purposes, but must meet setback
requirements.
Comm. Christensen suggested that home occupation signage be
reviewed by the Planning Commission at the time of conditional
use permit reviewals.
Comm. Spurrier voiced his concern with barking dogs and stated
that if dogs are left outside, this could be a nuisance for
the neighbors.
Deborah Snyder was present for discussion and stated that the
dogs would not be left unattended when outside. She added
that she keeps cards on all the dogs she has for grooming.
These cards give a short profile of the pet ' s personality and
temperament relative to barking and runaways.
Comm. Mars questioned if the applicant had discussed her
conditional use permit proposal with her neighbors. She
responded she had, and there are no objections.
Chrmn. Kahleck asked for comments from the audience. There
was no response.
The public hearing was closed.
Motion: Lynch/Spurrier offered Conditional Use Permit
Resolution No. 626, allowing for a home occupation to operate
a pet grooming operation, and moved for its adoption subject
to the following conditions:
1. The pet grooming operation shall be conducted in
accordance with the plans submitted with the conditional
use permit application.
2 . Overnight boarding of pets shall not be permitted on the
premises and all pets (other than those owned by thn

applicant) shall be on leashes and accompanied by the
homeowner when outside.
3 . Signs will be limited to that allowed by the ordinance.
4 . A review of the home occupation by City staff in one year
or if complaints arise.
5. In the event that the applicant violates any of the
conditions set forth in this permit, the City Council
shall have the authority to revoke the conditional use
permit.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously
VI. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MINING - J. L.
SHIELY COMPANY
Chrmn. Kahleck continued the public hearing to consider an
application to amend the conditional use permit for mining,
which would allow the applicants to expand excavations to the
west side of their property at 6896 Highway 101.
The City Planner stated that the Planning Commission had
continued this public hearing from its October 3 , 1991,
meeting to allow for further testimony from property owners
and time for the applicant to prepare an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) . The City Planner added that J. L.
Shiely is not opposed to the preparation of the EAW.
The City Planner commented that currently the City is the
resporsibie gcvcrr:ing reviewing unit for mining permit..; .
However, if certain changes are made by the state of
Minnesota, the City may ultimately be the commentary unit with
the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) being the
responsible reviewing unit.
Motion: Joos/Christensen moved to receive and file the
letter from Jon R. Albinson, Project Director for
Valley Green Business Park, dated November 5,
1991, stating the agreement by J. L. Shiely to
prepare the Environmental Assessment Worksheet.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: Joos/Lynch moved to continue the public hearing
until the Environmental Assessment Worksheet is
completed.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.

VII. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING - LARRY & DON LINK
Chrmn. Kahleck continued the public hearing to consider an
application for rezoning of a parcel on County Road 83 from
Racetrack (RTD) to Light Industrial (I-1) .
The City Planner stated that at the request of the applicants,
this public hearing had been continued from October 3, 1991,
to allow the applicants an opportunity to amend their
application to include the properties to the south and west of
the subject site, which is described as the east 469 feet of
Lot 1, Block 1, Barringers 1st Addition. The City Planner
added that the adjacent property owners have indicated no
desire be included in this rezoning request. The applicants
are now requesting the Planning Commission to review their
original rezoning request.
The City Planner reported that the applicants are proposing to
rezone 3 . 54 acres of their parcel from RTD to I-i to serve as
a transition between more intense industrial sites and other
land uses. The City Planner added that the applicants are
considering developing their lot with a construction company
office and warehouse, which is permitted in the RTD, but they
have also expressed anticipated problems with the conditions
restricting outdoor storage.
The City Planner added that this site is located near the
primary entrance to Canterbury Downs, and has one of the best
potentials for the development of uses accessory to the
racetrack. The area cf the lot proposed for rezoning from RTD
to I-1 does not follow the lot lines of the platted lot. Of
the 662 . 24 feet of depth to the _et, only 466 . 69 of this depth
has been included in the rezoning request.
The City Planner stated staff is recommending denial for the
following reasons:
1. It is contrary to the Racetrack District Land Use
Study approved by the City Council in 1986 and the
draft Comprehensive Plan.
2 . Rezoning is being requested for a small parcel (3 .54
acres) and piecemeal development could occur.
3 . The types of permitted and conditional uses in the I-1
district are not compatible with those in the RTD.
4. The parcel is located near the entrance to the racetrack.
Minutes of the Page - 5
Shakopee Planning Commission November 7, 1991
The City Planner stated that some of the alternatives being
recommended to the Planning Commission are: 1) Denial of the
request; 2) Request that staff include a study of the RTD and
mandatory PUD provisions as an objective in the 1992 work
program; and 3) Request that staff conduct a study of Section
11. 36, Subd. 4, Item D (outdoor storage) .
Barry Myer, attorney for the applicants, was present for
discussion. Mr. Myer questioned the timetable of the
studies. The City Planner responded that a timetable for the
study of outside storage could occur in December.
Mr. Myers asked if the rezoning request could be tabled until
action had been taken on the study for outside storage. The
City Planner stated this could be done but it would require an
extension of the rezoning application timetable.
Mr. Myers requested that the public hearing on the rezoning
request be continued pending results of the study on outside
storage. The City Planner stated that this could be possible,
but the applicant must submit a request in writing for
rezoning application extension, as dictated in the City Code.
Tom Lelac, a marketing consultant, stated he had become
involved with this parcel in early 1990, and has done
considerable research on the marketability of this parcel . He
added that all potential buyers he had approached had uses not
compatible in the RTD. Mr. Lelac stated that the bank
appraisal was $105, 000 for parcels in this area, but he could
find no buyer willing to pay more than $30, 000 due to the
zoning restrictions.
Chrmn. Kahleck asked fir further cc^ments from the audience.
There were none.
Motion: Lynch/Christensen moved to continue the public
hearing to the first meeting of the Planning
Commission in January 1992 .
Vote: Motion carried unanimously
Motion: Christensen/Lynch moved to request City staff to
include a study of the RTD and mandatory PUD
provisions as an objective to the 1992 work
program.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
The City Planner stated that when the 1992 work program is
discussed, this study can be moved up on the list of
priorities.
Minutes of the Page - 6
Shakopee Planning Commission November 7, 1991
Motion: Lynch/Mars moved to request City staff to conduct
a study of Section 11. 36, Subd. 4 , "Performance
Standards" , Item D, "Outside Storage" .
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Comm. Joos suggested that as long as staff is doing the study
on outside storage, all property owners in non-compliance with
the City Code should be notified that this study is underway
and all properties are to be in code compliance.
VII. DISCUSSION: REZONING - 5TH AVENUE AND MARKET
The City Planner stated there are a variety of land uses that
should be discussed for this area. He added that some
proposals are forthcoming, and if these land uses were
resolved prior to these proposals, it may resolve many
difficulties ahead of time. He suggested the Planning
Commission consider rezoning this area to R-3 .
Motion: Joos/Spurrier moved to set a public hearing for
December 5, 1991, to consider the rezoning of the
Market Street/5th Avenue area.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
IX. DISCUSSION: PLANNING COMMISSION 1992 CALENDAR
Motion: Christensen/Spurrier moved to approve the 1992
meeting schedule for the Planning Commission and
Board of Adjustments and Appeals.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
X. DISCUSSION: OTHER BUSINESS - ZONING ENFORCEMENT (4-PLEX
PARKING)
The Assistant Planner stated that the Planning Commission, at
various times, had expressed concern over the lack of off-
street parking to tenants living in the 4-plex at 1211-1217
Taylor Street. The parking requirements for these residences
have now been met, and the parking stall areas are in
compliance with the zoning ordinance.
Comm. Spurrier stated there are no standards set for these 4-
plex off-street parking and expressed his appreciation for the
efforts made in this area. He added that the Mall does not
Minutes of the Page - 7
Shakopee Planning Commission November 7, 1991
seem to care about the back of their area and has numerous
non-compliances. He expressed the importance of code
enforcement and the need to have someone enforce the code.
Comm. Christensen stated that the City must get creative in
how to enforce the codes because funds will not be there for
additional personnel to assume this responsibility.
INTERIM ORDINANCE UPDATE
The City Planner gave the update and status on the interim
ordinance.
PRE-APPLICATION MEETINGS
The Assistant Planner stated that staff has scheduled a series
of monthly pre-application development review meetings. The
purpose of these meetings is to introduce projects to staff,
provide the appropriate code information to the public and to
developers, and to determine possible conflict areas in their
proposals. She added that, as a general rule, the pre-
application meetings are scheduled for the first Wednesday of
every month at 1:30 p.m. , and flyers have been prepared for
the public notifying them of this service.
PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
The City Planner stated that the Planning Commission terms of
Eugene Allen and Nancy Christensen will expire January 31,
1992 . He added that with the recent election of Joan Lynch to
the City Council, her position will be vacated.
Nancy Christensen expressed her desire to continue serving as
a Commissioner and her intent to re-apply.
OTHER BUSINESS
Code enforcement will be discussed at the December meeting.
The Planning Commissioners expressed comments relative to
informing the citizens of ways to address non-compliance
issues in their areas.

MINUTES OF THE
DOWNTOWN AD HOC COMMITTEE
City Council Chambers
November 13, 1991
Chairperson Keen called the meeting to order at 7: 50 a.m. with
Commissioners D. Wermerskirchen, B. Wermerskirchen, VanHorn,
Phillips and Kahleck present. Commissioner Fonder was absent.
Barry Stock, Assistant City Administrator was also present.
Chairperson Keen requested that a discussion of the Committee's
mission be added to the agenda under "Other Business" .
B. Wermerskirchen/VanHorn moved to approve the minutes of the
October 9, 1991 meeting as kept. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stock noted that on October 9, 1991 the Downtown Committee
requested staff to research possible alternatives that could be
utilized to complete a conceptual image study of the mini bypass
project on the downtown area. Mr. Stock stated that it was the
consensus of the Committee that many Shakopee residents are having
a hard time visualizing the aesthetic impact of the bypass on the
downtown area. The Committee felt that a graphic conceptual image
study might stimulate discussion on the possible redevelopment
potential of the buildings on the North side of 1st Ave.
Mr. Stock stated that he has been in contact with several
engineering firms who have expressed interest in putting together
a proposal for a conceptual image study. Mr. Stock shared with the
Committee a preliminary proposal that was submitted by Westwood
Planning and Engineering. Mr. Stock stated that Westwood' s
proposal would include the development of several cross-
sectional/line of site studies and plan view analysis. This would
include major views from different angles, comparing the new mini
bypass and bridge project on the existing development in downtown
Shakopee. Westwood would also conduct several massing studies of
the existing property North of 1st Ave. to evaluate redevelopment
options that might be considered by City Council. The preliminary
cost estimate for all the services submitted in Westwood's proposal
would be approximately $5, 800.
Commissioner VanHorn questioned what the parking lot study included
as part of Westwood' s proposal for $1, 500. Mr. Stock stated that
he did not feel that this component submitted in Westwood' s
proposal would need to be evaluated. Commissioner VanHorn
concurred and stated that we have recently completed our own
parking lot study. This would reduce the cost of Westwood' s
proposal by $1, 500.
Minutes of the Page - 2
Downtown Ad Hoc Committee November 13, 1991
Mr. B. Wermerskirchen questioned whether or not Westwood's proposal
included the block just east of the City Hall block. Mr. Stock
responded in the negative. Westwood's current proposal only
includes the City Hall block. Mr. Stock stated that if the
Committee was interested in receiving additional proposals such as
the one submitted by Westwood, that he would contact several other
engineering firms as well as Westwood Planning and Engineering, so
that their proposal could be amended accordingly. Discussion
ensued on a time table for reviewing any proposals that might be
submitted. Mr. Stock stated that by the December meeting, he would
have several informal proposals for the Downtown Committee to
discuss. Mr. Stock noted that the Downtown Committee could then
forward a recommendation to the Community Development Commission
for their review and consideration. Mr. Stock stated that he felt
that if the Community Development Commission concurred with the
Downtown Committee's recommendation, that it could probably be
forwarded to City Council in January for their consideration.
Mr. D. Wermerskirchen stated that he felt a conceptual image study
was crucial. He stated that there is generally much confusion
among the downtown business owners and residents in general as to
what buildings are going to be taken and where the bypass is going
to go. D. Wermerskirchen stated that he felt any study should
include both blocks North of 1st Ave. Commissioner Keen stated
that it would be beneficial if some drawings could be completed by
next spring so that they could be displayed at the Shakopee
Showcase. Mr. Stock stated that if City Council responds favorably
to this idea that he was sure the study could be completed prior to
next year's Showcase.
Discussion ensued on the alley that will be located behind the City
Hall block and the adjacent block. Mr. B. Wermerskirchen stated
that this alley could serve as a rear entrance to the properties
that face the southerly bypass. He noted that the parcels located
between 1st Ave. and the bypass would benefit from two separate
entrances that could be utilized by shoppers.
It was the consensus of the Committee to have staff solicit
additional informal proposals on a possible conceptual image study
for the property located North of 1st Ave.
Discussion ensued on a list of potential businesses who are
interested in leasing space in the downtown area. Mr. Stock stated
that he wanted the Downtown Committee to be aware that there are
businesses who are interested in leasing space in the downtown
area. He stated that if a number of firm prospects can be
identified, it would certainly enhance our ability to attract a
developer into the downtown area.
Minutes of the Page - 3
Downtown Ad Hoc Committee November 13, 1991
Discussion ensued on the difficulty of obtaining financing for
commercial/retail projects. Mr. Stock noted that he has heard that
banks require a large down payment for commercial/retail projects
and expect a high percentage of the facility to have signed long
term lease agreements. Mr. Phillips concurred with Mr. Stock's
statement and noted that financing for commercial/retail projects
is very difficulty to obtain at this time. Mr. Phillips stated
that this type of lending is not the type that commercial banks get
involved with on a regular basis. Mr. Phillips stated that savings
and loans and/or insurance companies underwrite loans for
commercial/retail projects. He noted that generally it depends on
the amount of dollars involved.
Mr. D. Wermerskirchen stated that generally speaking, then it is
easier to finance rehabilitation projects as opposed to new
construction. Mr. Phillips responded in the affirmative.
Mr. D. Wermerskirchen questioned whether or not Marquette Bank
could be of any assistance in determining whether or not a project
might be more appropriate in downtown Shakopee as a new
construction project or if a redevelopment project might be more
appropriate in terms of financing. Mr. Phillips stated that this
would be somewhat difficult to do without knowing the specifics of
a particular proposal. He stated there are many variables involved
in determining the risk. Mr. Phillips said he could have a general
discussion on the possibilities with representatives at Marquette
Bank to give us a better understanding of some of the issues
involved, but that there are no clear cut/easy answers. Mr. D.
Wermerskirchen stated that he felt this type of information is
worth discussing since many persons feel that the entire North side
of 1st Ave. should be demolished. Before the City discusses
complete demolition, we better make sure that a developer is on
line for constructing a new project. Mr. D. Wermerskirchen stated
that the property North of 1st Ave. is presently generating tax
revenue. If the property is demolished and no developer is on
line, a significant amount of tax revenue would be lost.
Mr. D. Wermerskirchen stated that if rehabilitation is more
financially feasible, he questioned whether or not the rehab grant
program guidelines, establishing the City' s match, could be amended
to have an increase percentage match applied for the properties
North of 1st Ave. within the mini bypass area. Mr. Stock stated
that this would be a policy question for the Shakopee Housing and
Redevelopment Authority to decide.
Chairperson Keen suggested that the Committee discuss their long
term objectives and need for existence. Chairperson Keen stated
that at the present time the Downtown Committee is a subcommittee
of the Community Development Commission. She questioned whether or
not there was a need for continuing the Downtown Committee at this
time. She questioned whether or not the interest of the Downtown
Minutes of the Page - 4
Downtown Ad Hoc Committee November 13, 1991
Committee could continue to be served by the Community Development
Commission, rather than having a separate Downtown Committee.
Mr. B. Wermerskirchen stated that he felt somewhat the same
frustration that Ms. Keen was experiencing but that he sees quite
a few things happening where the Downtown Committee's input will be
important.
Commissioner Kahleck stated that several years ago the Downtown
Committee made recommendations directly to City Council. The
present system provides that the Downtown Committee' s
recommendations must be submitted to the Community Development
Commission prior to consideration before City Council. She stated
that she felt this was simply a duplication of staff' s effort and
the time volunteered by the Downtown Committee members. She stated
that she would like the City Council to officially recognize the
Downtown Committee as a separate independent advisory board, or
have the Downtown Committee consolidated into the Community
Development Commission.
Commissioner Keen questioned if the Downtown Business Coalition
could somehow replace the Downtown Committee. Mr. D.
Wermerskirchen stated that the purpose of the Downtown Coalition
was more in the area of marketing than in the area of politics.
Mr. B. Wermerskirchen stated that he doubted whether or not the
Downtown Business Coalition could agree to mutually support a
particular issue as it relates to the downtown. He stated that the
interests are just too varied among the downtown business owners.
Discussion ensued on the current process for making recommendations
to City Council. Mr. Stock stated that generally the Community
Development Commission has been very supportive of the
recommendations made by the Downtown Committee. He stated that
given the current time schedule as it relates to the downtown area,
that the interest of the Downtown Committee could probably be
handled by the Community Development Commission. Mr. Stock stated
that if the Downtown Committee were abandoned at this time, that it
could always be recreated as a subcommittee of the Community
Development Commission for a particular project or interest.
Discussion ensued on the possibility of approaching City Council to
have the Downtown Committee created as a independent advisory
board.
Discussion ensued on eliminating the Downtown Committee and having
their objectives covered by the Community Development Commission.
It was the consensus of the Committee to have staff develop a list
of pros and cons in regard to requesting City Council to create the
Minutes of the Page - 5

Downtown Committee as an independent advisory board versus

The sixth meeting of the SCEDC was called to order at 8:00 a.m.
on October 16, 1991 in the Prior Lake City Hall Community Room.
I. Approve Minutes of the September 18, 1991 SCEDC Meeting
MOTION BY JOHN ALBINSON, SECONDED BY COLLEEN JONES, TO
APPROVE THE SEPTEMBER 18, 1991 MEETING MINUTES. THE
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
II. Treasurer's Report
Kay reported that the checking account balance is now
$7 ,431.25. There is an outstanding check of $2,500 to
the Twin Cities Metro Certified Development Company
which has not been received through the bank yet.
III. Appointment of Additional Offices
There are no additional appointments to be made at this
time.
IV. Discuss Membership with Twin Cities Metro Development
Company
Barry Stock lead a discussion of the amendments to the
Joint Powers Agreement and the committee briefly
discussed these amendments.
MOTION BY COLLEEN JONES, SECONDED BY JOHN ALBINSON, TO
APPROVE THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AS AMENDED. THE
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Barry Stock requested that all city representatives get
approval from their respective City Councils by the next
meeting if possible. Barry will be sending out a final
copy of the Joint Powers Agreement to all city
representatives.

V. Discuss Training Session for SBA Processing
Barry distributed a copy of the forms for an SBA Loan
package that he had received from Bob Heck. The Board
discussed whether they wanted to do training for the
local financial representatives and communities. The
Board decided to postpone that until the time that an
SBA loan was processed so that we have someone with
experience who can come in and discuss this. The
committee discussed whether a training session should be
done to strengthen communication among the financial
representatives and the city personnel. Although this
is probably something we may pursue, the committee again
agreed to hold off on any type of communication, at
least until one loan had been processed.
VI . Progress on One Year Work Program
A. Marketing Subcommittee
Barry Stock asked the Marketing Subcommittee for a
report on their progress. John Albinson reported
that he, as of yet, had not contacted the list
company to get a list for distribution of marketing
materials. John reported that he was going to get
the list prepared by zip code.
Jim Parsons was to be working on a press release
announcing that the SCEDC organization was now
functioning. Jim was not at the meeting to report
on this.
Barry Stock introduced a community profile document
that Kay Schmudlach had picked up at a conference.
The community profile is done, free of charge, by
an organization that makes their money through
selling advertising. Barry requested that the
Marketing Subcommittee take the community profile
and pursue this option. Barry also indicated that
he would be joining the Marketing Subcommittee.
B. Business Retention Committee
The Business Retention Committee reported on their
progress. Ken Anderson reported that the
subcommittee had recently discussed a labor survey
with Randy from the University of Minnesota. Randy
is a statistician and would be able to provide us
support on creating and tabulating a labor survey.
However, Randy had advised the committee that the
best survey available is the census, and if we
2
could hold off until spring the census data would
probably give us a better feel and a more accurate
accounting of what labor resources we have than any
survey we could do. Therefore, the committee has
decided to wait until the census data is prepared
and at that time perhaps do a spinoff survey to get
more detailed information in certain areas.
Barry Stock reported on the progress of the brochure.
The committee will be doing a three fold brochure. It
will be a Business Retention brochure that will identify
what the SCEDC organization can provide to existing
businesses. The brochure has been drafted but not
finished. Barry asked committee members to get the
quotes from their respective printing organizations by
October 31, 1991.
The committee had also drafted an Inventory and Location
Guide for businesses. After some review of the
document, the committee agreed to meet and revise it.
Several of the documents were identified for assistance.
One being the Industry Location Survey that the Star
City Program prepares. The subcommittee was asked to
fine tune this and come back at the next meeting with a
final draft.
VII . Business/Space Inventory Sharing
The attached forms as reported before would be amended
by the next meeting.
VIII . Other Business
The committee discussed whether they should invite Kay
Lewis to come to the meetings as a kind of adjunct
ex-official member, because of the resources she brings
with from the University of Minnesota. Kay Schmudlach
was asked to contact Kay Lewis to see if she would be
interested.
Colleen Jones circulated a Code of Ethics that has been
prepared by the Dakota County Economic Development
Partnership. Colleen asked that it be distributed with
the next agenda, and consideration be given to passing
something similar to this document.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Shakopee Transit Policy Amendments
DATE: November 25, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
In response to the 1990 Transit Audit Report that was completed by
the Regional Transit Board, the Energy and Transport Committee
would like to recommend that several transit policies be amended at
this time.
BACKGROUND:
Additional Driver Mileage - Policy No. 11
Vanpool Policy No. 11 provides 150 miles of free personal mileage
use for Vanpool drivers. The policy also provides the ability for
Vanpool drivers to accumulate excess miles at a rate of 210 per
mile. The current IRS mileage reimbursement standard is 27.50 per
mile. The City of Shakopee has adopted the IRS standard for
municipal employees utilizing their own automobiles for business
purposes. In an attempt to maintain consistency among all City
programs, staff is recommending that the mileage reimbursement rate
for excess personal mileage be increased to 27 . 50. Shown in
Attachment #1 are the policies which are being proposed to be
amended. Note that the language that is being proposed for
deletion has a line through it and new language proposed has been
underlined.
Reimbursement For Carpool Costs - Policy No. 15
Staff is proposing that Vanpool Policy No. 15 be amended to have a
driver reimbursement rate comparable to what is paid by Vanpool
drivers for excess mileage. The present reimbursement rate for
persons who are forced to drive a carpool when the backup vehicle
is unavailable, is 210 per mile. Staff is proposing that the rate
be increased to 27 . 50 per mile (See Attachment # 1) .
The Energy and Transportation Committee is recommending that the
aforementioned policies be amended accordingly.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to amend Transit Policy No. 11 and Transit Policy No. 15,
increasing the mileage reimbursement rate to 27 . 50 per mile.
2 . Do not approve the transit policy amendments as proposed.
3 . Change the mileage reimbursement rate to a different rate than
what was proposed by the Committee.
AU/VPRATE27
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative #1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to approve Vanpool Policy No. 11 and Vanpool Policy No. 15
increasing the mileage reimbursement rate to 27 . 50 per mile.
AU/VPRATE27
Attachment #1
Policy #11
Adopted: September 27, 1984
Effective: October 1, 1984
Amended:
Effective:
ADDITIONAL DRIVER MILEAGE
Principal vanpool drivers shall receive 150 miles of free van
use. This includes free gas and free maintenance during the 150
miles. Excess driver miles shall be charged to the driver at a
fixed cost of 2 27 . 5 cents per mile.plus any additional costs
added by Vanpool Services Inc.
Policy #15
Adopted: September 27 , 1984
Effective: October 1, 1984
Amended:
Effective:
REIMBURSEMENT FOR CAR POOL COSTS
In the event that vanpool passengers are forced to car pool ,
the car pool drivers shall be paid 2- 27 . 5 cents per mile plus
parking reimbursements upon submission of receipt, to be paid by
the vanpool driver out of the vanpool revenues. If there are no
vanpool revenues the driver should submit the car pool
reimbursement forms to the City.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Vanpool Contract Request For Proposals
DATE: November 25, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
The current contract with Vanpool Services Inc. for provision of
vanpool services in Shakopee expires on April 16, 1992. The Energy
and Transportation Committee is recommending to City Council that
the appropriate City officials be authorized to solicit vanpool
request for proposals for vanpool service in Shakopee.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Shakopee last advertised for Vanpool request for
proposals for the operation of vanpool services in Shakopee in
February of 1988. The contract was subsequently awarded to Vanpool
Services Inc. The three year contract agreement included a one
year extension provision at the option of the City. The City of
Shakopee exercised the one year extension option last year. The
present agreement does not provide for any further extensions.
Therefore, the Energy and Transportation Committee is recommending
to City Council that the appropriate City officials be authorized
to solicit proposals for vanpool service within the City of
Shakopee.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to solicit
request for proposals for vanpool services for the City of
Shakopee.
2 . Do not authorize the appropriate City officials to solicit
requests for proposals for vanpool service at this time.
3 . Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative #1.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to solicit request
for proposals for vanpool services for the City of Shakopee.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Dial-A-Ride Contract Extension
DATE: November 25, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
The Dial-A-Ride contract with National School Bus expires on
April 15, 1992 . The current contract does include a three (3) year
extension provision. It would be appropriate at this time to
either extend the Dial-A-Ride contract or direct the appropriate
City officials to solicit bids for service.
BACKGROUND:
The current Dial-A-Ride hourly rate for service is $19. 15 per
hour. Over the past three years, the rate has remained constant.
Over the past three months, staff has been negotiating with
National School Bus officials regarding a possible contract
extension. Initially, National School Bus proposed a new rate of
$22 .71 per hour for future service. After several meetings, they
subsequently agreed to a lower rate of $22 . 12 per hour.
Additionally, National School Bus has agreed to install a
computerized dispatching system. This should significantly enhance
dispatching operations and improve customer service.
Following is a summary of 1992 hourly rates for other Dial-A-
Ride Transit Systems operating within the Metropolitan Area;
Southwest Metro - $25.58
Plymouth - $24.96
Anoka - $25. 62
White Bear Lake - $28. 00
N.E.S.T. - $23 . 62
Based on the survey of other Dial-A-Ride systems, and the
level of service provided by National School Bus for the Shakopee
Dial-A-Ride system, both staff and the Energy & Transportation
Committee believe that the proposed rate of $22 . 12 per hour is
reasonable. Staff would also like to point out that the proposed
rate will be fixed for the duration of any extension.
Since the Energy & Transportation Committee is currently
investigating other options to reduce overall Dial-A-Ride expenses,
including the possibility of leasing vehicles from another transit
system such as Southwest Metro or Minnesota Valley Transit, the
Committee is recommending that a provision be added to the current
contract that would allow the City of Shakopee to unilaterally
terminate the agreement for any reason with a 120 day notice.
National School Bus officials have agreed to the inclusion of said
provision if they are granted the three year contract extension.
It should be noted that there are adequate funds available within
the proposed 1992 transit budget to accommodate the proposed rate
for service.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a
three year Dial-A-Ride Contract Extension with National School
Bus at a rate of $22 . 12 per hour with a provision being added
to the agreement that would provide the City of Shakopee with
the ability to unilaterally terminate the agreement for any
reason with a 120 day notice.
2 . Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to solicit
bids for Dial-A-Ride service in Shakopee.
3 . Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a
twelve month Dial-A-Ride Contract Extension with National
School Bus at a rate of $22. 12 per hour.
4 . Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a
three year Dial-A-Ride Contract Extension with National School Bus
at a rate of $22. 12 per hour with a provision being added to the
agreement that would provide the City of Shakopee with the ability
to terminate the agreement for any reason with a 120 day notice.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Selection of Refuse/Recycling Provider
DATE: November 26, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
The deadline for the submission of refuse/recycling request
for proposals was November 18, 1991. On November 20, 1991, the
Shakopee Energy & Transportation Committee reviewed the proposals
and is recommending that Waste Management, Inc. be selected as the
City of Shakopee's refuse/recycling provider.
BACKGROUND:
The current contract for refuse/recycling services by and
between Waste Management, Inc. and the City of Shakopee expires on
February 15, 1992 . The City of Shakopee received six proposals in
response to the solicitation.
PROPOSAL EVALUATION METHODOLOGY:
Prior to receiving the proposals, staff drafted an evaluation
criteria checklist. The checklist was comprised of six different
components that relate to the refuse/recycling program in Shakopee.
Each component was weighted according to its significance. None of
the refuse/recycling providers were aware of the evaluation
criteria identified by staff.
Upon receiving the proposals, the Assistant City Administrator
and the Public Works Director independently ranked each proposal
based on the criteria and components identified in the ranking
system. Since there were six proposals, the company with the best
proposal in relation to each evaluation component was ranked on a
scale from one to six, with one being the best proposal. Upon
assigning a ranking to each of the evaluation components, the
weight factor was applied to the ranking to determine the assigned
liability point for each component. The provider with the lowest
liability score, based on all the evaluation components, is the
company with the most •complete and comprehensive proposal for
refuse/recycling services.
Upon independently ranking each proposal, the Public Works
Director and the Assistant City Administrator then combined their
rankings to establish an overall ranking of the proposals. In both
the independent ranking and combined ranking, Waste Management,
Inc. , came out on top as the best overall proposal followed by
Knutson. (See Attachment #1) Shown in Attachment #2 is a complete
cost summary of all the proposals.
FINANCIAL SECURITY:
The proposal specifications clearly noted that each provider
shall submit with their proposal for services, a form of financial
security to ensure that the provider selected will follow through
on their proposal and enter into a contract if selected to perform
the work. The financial security was to be valid for a 90 day
period following the proposal submission date. The amount of said
financial security was set a $25, 000. 00.
In reviewing the proposals, staff discovered that two of the
providers (Aagard West and Randy's Sanitation) did not include the
required financial security. The Assistant City Administrator and
the City Attorney, concur that the two providers who did not submit
the required financial security should be eliminated from further
consideration at this time. The City Attorney and I believe that
it is not fair to the other providers who obtained the required
financial security. Staff also believes that if one of the two
companies that did not submit the required financial security where
selected as the provider, one of the other providers may have legal
recourse against the City for not following the guidelines as set
forth in the proposal specifications. Staff does not support
waiving the required financial security at this point as technical
irregularity.
METHOD OF BILLING:
The proposal specifications requested the providers to submit
cost quotations for service with billing to be the responsibility
of either the City of Shakopee (Utility bill) or the hauler
directly. Based on the proposals as submitted, staff does not
believe it is worth an extra $1. 00 per month to Shakopee residents
to have the billing changed from its current system to contractor
billing at this time. The City does receive a . 15 per month
surcharge on each monthly refuse bill as well as a surcharge on
each extra service refuse coupon sold to cover administrative costs
incurred.
•
REFUSE CONTAINERIZATION:
The proposal specifications set forth that the hauler could
submit proposals utilizing refuse service carts for disposal
purposes or some other system as deemed appropriate by the
provider. In reviewing the proposals, staff does not believe it
would be desirable to change from our present system (where 65
gallon refuse containers are provided to each household under
contract) to a system that utilizes individual refuse containers
provided by the homeowner. The change to a standardized refuse
cart system that was made several years ago significantly enhanced
the ability of the City to control rodent problems. It also did
much to reduce the visual problem that is common place in
communities who leave refuse containerization open to the residents
preference. Therefore, in reviewing the proposals, staff and the
Energy & Transportation Committee tended to lean in favor of
proposals that were willing to provide refuse carts.
UNILATERAL CANCELLATION PROVISION:
In reviewing the proposals, the Energy & Transportation
Committee felt strongly that the City should in the future consider
moving towards a closed refuse program. The Committee strongly
believes that the City could obtain lower quotes for service if a
specified number of customers could be guaranteed. Under our
present system, Shakopee residents have the option to select
whomever they choose to dispose of their refuse. In that vein, the
Energy & Transportation Committee recommended that the
refuse/recycling contract include a 120 day unilateral cancellation
provision at the option of the City. Said provision would provide
the City with the ability to terminate the agreement for whatever
reason it so desires upon the issuance of a 120 day notice to the
provider. The Committee felt that in the future, if the City does
move towards a closed refuse system that they may want to terminate
the refuse/recycling agreement and solicit separate bids for urban
and rural service.
Since the proposal specifications stated that the duration of
the contract would be three years with a possible three year
extension, staff contacted the hauler with the best ranking (Waste
Management, Inc. ) to determine if they would be agreeable to the
unilateral cancellation provision as proposed by the Energy &
Transportation Committee. Waste Management officials have stated
that their price quotation was based on a three year agreement.
However, Waste Management officials did state that they would agree
to a 120 day cancellation provision that was based on the City ' s
decision to move towards a closed refuse program. Their agreement
to said provision is also based on the premise that they would not
have to provide 30 gallon refuse carts as stated in their proposal .
Waste Management would agree to provide 64 gallon containers to
Senior Citizens at the quoted 30 gallon rate.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of soliciting requests for proposals is to obtain
a service level that best accommodates the needs of the residents
and the City of Shakopee. The request for proposal process also
encourages potential providers to submit customed design service
packages that will meet the needs of the community. Cost is
generally not the main determining factor in selecting a provider.
The Energy & Transportation Committee is recommending that
Waste Management, Inc. be selected as the City' s refuse/recycling
provider. Waste Management ' s proposal for the most part retains
the level of service currently provided. New program components
proposed by Waste Management include the provision of 30 gallon
refuse containers and a more aggressive recycling component that
includes the collection of several new materials including junk
mail and magazines. (See attachment #3) The provision of 30 gallon
containers will allow us to eliminate the current Senior Citizen
Rate which is currently 15% lower than the regular monthly rate.
The Energy & Transportation Committee is proposing that the
appropriate City officials be authorized to execute a three year
contract with a three year extension provision for refuse/recycling
collection by and between Waste Management, Inc. and the City of
Shakopee. In regard to a 120 day cancellation, staff is proposing
that the contract include a 120 day City cancellation option should
the City choose to move towards a closed refuse system.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a three
year contract with a three year extension provision for
refuse/recycling collection with Waste Management, Inc. with
a provision that provides the City of Shakopee with a 120 day
cancellation option should the City choose to move towards a
closed refuse system.
2. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a three
year contract with a three year extension provisions with
Waste Management, Inc.
3. Table action pending further information from staff.
4. Direct staff to execute an agreement with some other hauler.
5. Reject all proposals and rebid for a closed refuse collection
program in the City of Shakopee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a three
year contract with a three year extension provision for
refuse/recycling collection with Waste Management, Inc. with a
provision that provides the City of Shakopee with a 120 day
unilateral cancellation option should the City choose to move
towards a closed refuse "system.

RE: Fire Service Contract Hourly Fee
DATE: November 21, 1991
Introduction
Part of the fire service contracts with the townships provides for an hourly
fee for service. Staff is recommending that the fee be increased.
Background
Part of the fire service contracts with the townships provides for an hourly
fee for service. The hourly fee is based on the variables of fuel and hourly
labor cost which are not included in the standby part of the fire service
contract.
The hourly fee has been $185 per hour for many years. Based on the costs
for 1990 a fee of $196 per hour is warranted.
Alternatives
1. Status Quo
2. Increase fee to $196 per hour
3. Set fee at some other amount
Recommendation
Alternative number 2.
Action
Move to set the hourly fee for service under the fire service agreement with
the townships at $196 per hour effective 1/1/92.
November 21, 1991
Jim Theis Rose Menke
Town Board of Louisville Township Town Board of Jackson Township
956 West 150th Street 1060 Oak Road
Shakopee, MN 55379 Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear Town Board Members,
The contract for fire service between Shakopee and the township provides for
an hourly fee for fire calls. The fees has been $185.00 per hour for many years.
Based on the average costs of fuel, hourly wages and the number of fire fighters
responding during 1990, a rate of $196.00 per hour is warranted.
I will be recommending that Council set the fire call rate at $196.00 per
hour effective 1/1/92. This is based on a 1990 fuel cost of $3,502 divided by
220 calls equals $16 per call. There was an average of 24 fire fighters
responding per call at a cost of $7.50 per hour per man for a cost of $180 per
hour. Wage cost of $180 plus fuel cost of $16 yields $196.
Sincerely,
/S/
Gregg Voxland

RE: City Hall Appraisal Authorization
DATE: November 26, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
Earlier this year, the City of Shakopee acquired the Marquette
Bank Building. It is anticipated that a move from our existing
facilities to the recently acquired property will occur sometime
next summer. Said move will result in the vacancy of our existing
building. It would be appropriate at this time to discuss the
future use of our existing City Hall facility.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has not discussed in great detail the future
use of our existing City Hall facility. While there maybe other
municipal uses for the facility, given the City's tight fiscal
situation, staff believes that it would be cost prohibitive to
continue utilizing our existing facility for municipal purposes.
If it is the desire of City Council to sell our existing
facility, staff would like to recommend that the appropriate City
officials be authorized to obtain an appraisal of the property in
question. Staff is proposing that an appraisal be obtained that
would analyze the value of our existing facility as one building as
well as two sperate buildings. Cost estimates for said appraisal
range between $4, 000. 00 and $5, 000. 00.
Funding for the aforementioned appraisal was not budgeted in
our current budget or the 1992 budget. Therefore, staff would like
to request that funding for said appraisal be allocated from the
1991 contingency fund. At the present time, there is $35, 000
remaining in the contingency appropriation.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to obtain an
appraisal of the existing City Hall property at a cost not to
exceed $5, 000. 00 with funding to be allocated from the
contingency appropriation account for said appraisal.
2 . Do not obtain an appraisal of the existing City Hall property
at this time.
3 . Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternatives #1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to obtain an
appraisal of the existing City Hall property at a cost not to
exceed $5, 000. 00 with funding to be allocated from the contingency
appropriation account for said appraisal.

RE: Reimbursement for 11th Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements
DATE: November 26, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
Staff is requesting City Council approval of a reimbursement
to the Developer of The Meadows 5th Addition for the storm sewer
oversizing in 11th Avenue between Dakota and Naumkeag Streets.
BACKGROUND:
You may recall during the platting of The Meadows 5th
Addition, there was a public hearing to improve 11th Avenue within
this subdivision. City Council decided that it was more
appropriate that the Developer construct the improvements in
conjunction with his plat of The Meadows 5th Addition. At that
time the Developer, Mr. Wayne Fleck, asked City Council to consider
paying for the oversizing of the storm sewer improvements in 11th
Avenue because the oversizing did in fact benefit properties to the
North of his subdivision. City Council approved Mr. Fleck' s
request and the Developer's Agreement was drafted to reflect this
agreement. The Developer's Agreement provides that the City shall
reimburse the Developer for storm sewer improvements in 11th Avenue
between Dakota and Naumkeag Streets (from the storm sewer utility
fund) based on the following formula: 75% of 1/2 of the actual
construction costs for installing the storm sewer in 11th Avenue.
The public improvements for The Meadows 5th Addition have been
completed with the exception of pavement to one driveway which will
not be done until next spring. The Payment and Escrow Agreement
between the Developer, City, and lending institution, will continue
to retain funds until this work has been completed. The City
Engineer has advised me that the total cost for the storm sewer
improvements in 11th Avenue is $20, 283 . 30, 75% of 1/2 of this cost
is $7, 606. 24 . Pursuant to the Developer's Agreement, staff
recommends that the Developer be reimbursed for the oversizing of
the storm sewer improvements in 11th Avenue at this time.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the reimbursement to Gold Nugget Development, Inc.
for storm sewer oversizing improvements to 11th Avenue in the
amount of $7, 606. 24 , pursuant to the Developer's Agreement for The
Meadows 5th Addition.

SUBJECT: Meadows 5th Subdivision
DATE: December 2 , 1991
The Engineering Department had previously calculated the amount of
the storm sewer reimbursement for the above referenced subdivision,
which was agreed upon by both parties in the Developer' s Agreement
due to oversizing the storm sewer.
Upon further review of those calculations, an error was discovered.
The correct amount of the reimbursement should be $8, 255. 19 , rather
than the $7 , 606. 24 that was previously provided to you.
I assume you will provide the City Council with the revised amount
at the December 3 , 1991 meeting. Thank You.
REVISED ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the reimbursement to Gold Nugget Development , Inc .
for storm sewer oversizing improvements to 11th Avenue in the
amount of $8 ,225 . 19 , pursuant to the Developer' s Agreement for The
Meadows 5th Addition.

RE: Assessment Split for Meadows 6th - City Property
DATE: November 26, 1991
Introduction

2. Prepay from the General Fund - contingency.
3. Prepay from the Capital Improvement Fund.
Recommendation
Alternative number 2.

Re: Farm Lease for 1992,
Date: November 20, 1991
Introduction
Gene Hauer has inquired about renewal of his farm lease for 1992.
Background
The Hauer family has farmed the land in the north part of Memorial Park
for many years. Since the City acquired the land for a park, it has
leased the north part to the Hauer family for continued farming. A few
years ago, the City checked around for other interested farmers and found
none. There are no current City plans to use the area being farmed.
A lease form has been sent to Gene Hauer for his signature and it is to be
returned for City official's signatures. Mr. Hauer pays the taxes on the
land and $250-$500 in rent depending upon flooding conditions.
Action Requested
Move to authorize proper City officials to execute a farm lease with Gene
Hauer for 1992 under the same terms as 1991.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator

RE: Request for Refund of License Fee
DATE: November 26, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
Lucy Rein from Jim & Lucy's has requested a partial refund of
her 3 .2 Beer License fee.
BACKGROUND:
As you are aware, Lucy Rein has closed her restaurant as a
result of the State's acquisition of her property for the Mini
Bypass. Lucy has received a 3 .2 Beer License from the City for the
period beginning July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 for the
restaurant at 201 West 1st Avenue. As a result of the State' s
acquisition of her property for the Mini Bypass, Lucy was forced to
discontinue operation at this site. Lucy is asking for any refund
of this license fee that she maybe entitled to.
The Shakopee City Code, Section 5. 02 , Subd. 4C, addresses
license refunding in certain cases. It provides that in the event,
during the license year, the licensed premises shall be destroyed
or so damaged by fire, or other wise, that the licensee shall cease
to carry on the licensed business, the City shall, upon the
happening of any such event, refund to the licensee such part of
the license fee paid by him as corresponds to the time such license
had yet to run. Through no action of her own, Lucy was forced to
cease carrying on the licensed business.
I have asked the City Attorney to review the City Code, and
she concurs that Lucy Rein is entitled to a partial refund of her
On-Sale 3 .2 Beer License fee.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the appropriate City officials to refund Jim &
Lucy's, Inc. , 201 West 1st Avenue, $208. 00 for the unused balance
of the On-Sale 3 .2 Non-Intoxicating Malt Liquor License, pursuant
to Shakopee City Code, Section 5.02, Subd. 4C.

RE: Call Option For $4.2 Million S.O.TIF Bonds
DATE: November 18, 1991
Introduction
Council has the option to call the $4.2 million track bonds.
Background
The follows information relates to calling the bonds.
A. The $4.2 million special obligation TIF bonds issued for
direct track benefit must be paid off or defeased before
the assessment agreement can be changed, in accordance
with bond counsel advice.
B. The bonds are callable now. The next call date is
2/1/92. Calling the bonds takes a minimum 20 day mailed
notice plus preparation time so action to call must be
taken in December 1991 for a 2/92 call.
C. It would take about $2,000,000 to call the bonds now.
D. Calling the bonds now would save about $270,000 in
interest payments which are at 10.25%. Final maturity
on the bonds is 1994.
E. There are no other TIF bond issues callable until 1994.
F. The funds to call the bonds could come from the TIF
trust fund or funds received from Ladbrooke as a "buy
out" or prepayment, or a combination thereof.
G. There is a supplemental guarantee in the form of a
letter of credit covering one years worth of debt
service payments that is still in effect on these bonds.
H. The status of the supplemental guarantees made
personally by the original owners of the track to make
bond payments is uncertain.
J. The City or HRA has no legal obligation to make debt
service payments on these bonds if the increment from
the track is not sufficient.
K. The assessment agreement currently in effect expires in
1994. Paying off the 4.2 S.O. TIF bonds does not
trigger cancellation of the assessment agreement.
L. The question of whether TIF District 4 (track) could be
closed after the S.O. bonds are paid and the assessment
agreement for district 4 terminated, but before 1994 and
when there are still other bond issues supported by
District 4 is a question for bond counsel.
M. The fiscal disparities option of taking the contribution
out of district 4 instead of the city as a whole (as
Council has discussed before) is still available to
Council.
Pro: 1. Save $270,000 in interest.
2. If district 4 can be closed and the assessment
agreement terminated or reduced in value, the assessed
value would yield a larger tax base for pay 1993 (lower
individual tax bills) .
Con: 1. Lose supplemental guarantees of debt service support,
need to supply $2,000,000 to call bonds.
2. If city supplies any money from TIF trust fund to
call bonds, dollars available for other potential
projects would be reduced or reduction of TIF trust fund
balance if future collection from track are not
realized.
Alternatives
1. Call bonds.
2. Do not call bonds.
Recommendation
Discuss and give staff direction. Action for alternative number 1 must be
taken soon (2 weeks?) . No action is alternative number 2.

Dear Mr. Reichow:
Your letter of November 20, 1991, was forwarded to our attorney for comment. That letter
addressed issues regarding the termination or amendment of TIF assessment agreements and
the timing of such as it relates to taxes payable in 1992. Since there have been no court cases
dealing with these specific issues, the statute is open to some interpretation and the following
comments must be viewed as advisory only.
The parties to an assessment agreement may change the agreement at any time, either by
amending the old agreement or by creating a new one,if 1) all of the parties to the agreement
concur, and 2) the county assessor certifies that the new values are reasonable.
The parties must also address the prohibition in the law against granting reductions of market
values below the minimum market value in the existing agreement. As discussed above, an
assessment agreement may be amended. The new agreement should clearly state new 1991
values and indicate that the owner may seek an abatement of the 199'2 taxes which are not
based on the new agreement.
Another issue concerns whether a developer could get an abatement for the payable 1992
property taxes. Abatements are discretionary and are administered at the county level as
follows:
1) abatements must be approved by
a) the county assessor (or city assessor in the case of a first or second class city),
b) the county auditor, and
c) the county board;

2) if the abatement is for more than$10,000 the school district and municipality where
the property is located must also approve. (If the school district or municipality
objects, the county board may then only grant the abatement after obtaining a
positive recommendation from the commissioner of revenue.)
In response to your questions contained in your November 20, 1991 letter, a new agreement
is essential before an abatement could be granted. Once the assessment agreement is
amended to change the minimum market value and to indicate new 1991 values, approval for
an abatement must be obtained from the county, city and school district as indicated above.
The variations in timing contained in your questions would not affect the need for a new
agreement or the required approvals.

RE: Deferred Compensation Plan For Part Time Employees
DATE: November 26, 1991
Introduction
Staff has been researching the possibility of offering or mandating a
deferred compensation plan to part time employees in lieu of FICA payroll
deductions.
Background
Effective July 1, 1991, all part time and seasonal governmental employees
became subject to FICA taxes. There are some exceptions for election workers.
The impact for Shakopee is the seasonal workers (i.e. pool) , other recreation
employees and the fire fighters are now subject to FICA withholding and the
employer has to make matching contributions in the amount of 7.65% of the
employees wage.
Staff explored offering a deferred compensation plan to those employees in
lieu of the full FICA tax. The Medicare portion of the tax in the amount of
1.45% would remain in place. The employee could place 7.5% of their wages into
a deferred comp account and avoid the 6.2% portion of the tax. The employer
would save the 6.2% of the tax.
The agent representing the deferred comp program offered to "permanent"
employees contacted staff regarding offering the deferred comp plan to part
time/seasonal employees. The agent and administration company behind the agent
represent the plan as being a viable option to the full FICA tax. I am aware of
three cities in the metro area that have offered the deferred comp option to
their employees, sometimes on an optional basis, sometimes on a mandatory basis.
Staff has contacted other sources of information including the League and
has received conflicting information. What is clear is that this is a gray area
and there has been a short time frame to make adjustments to payroll. The option
to offer a deferred comp plan to part time/seasonal must be in place by the end
of the year.
Staff is not convinced (as is the League) that the deferred comp option is
a viable alternative to the FICA tax. The purpose of the change in the tax
application is to provide a portable, 100% immediate vesting, retirement benefit
for each employee. The deferred comp plan allows the employee to withdraw money
upon termination thereby providing no retirement benefit. The associated
paperwork for seasonal employees also makes the benefit to the city questionable.
Sometimes the amount of wages involved makes the paperwork involved more costly
than the benefit.
About one third of the fire fighters contribute to an IRA. Mandating a
deferred comp plan for them would probably prevent them from using the IRA and
the IRA is probably a bigger benefit for them. The existing fire relief pension
does not qualify for FICA exemption because it does not provide 100% immediate
vesting.
If the City is to set up a deferred comp plan for the part time/seasonal
employees in order to avoid paying FICA tax, the plan must be established before
December 31, 1991.
Based on the 1992 budget for part time wages, the cost (6.2%) for the City
could be in the range of $4,500 for the Fire Dept. , $3,700 for the pool and
$1,200 for the Recreation Department.
Alternatives
1. Status quo, employee and employer paying full FICA.
2. Offer optional deferred comp plan for fire fighters.
3. Make deferred comp plan mandatory for fire fighters.
4. Offer optional deferred comp plan for seasonal employees.
5. Make deferred comp plan mandatory for seasonal employees.
Recommendation
It is not entirely clear that the deferred comp plan is an acceptable
alternative to the FICA tax. The benefit for the seasonal employees compared to
the administrative effort and end result of a retirement benefit does not seem
warrant offering the plan to seasonal employees.
Action
Either;
1. ) Move to direct staff to prepare a resolution establishing a deferred
compensation plan to cover part time and/or seasonal employees in
accordance with (one or two of the options above) , or
2. ) Move to continue current status of applying FICA tax deductions to
part time and seasonal employees.

RE: Calling for Repeal of Preid ntial Primary
DATE: November 26, 1991
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is a resolution calling on the state legislature to
repeal the law which established the presidential primary scheduled
for April 7, 1992 .
BACKGROUND:
As you may know, the state legislature has adopted a statute
which provides for a presidential primary starting in 1992 . The
legislation has provided no funding for the local governments for
the conducting of the election. In additional to the additional
expense to cities, the effect of such an election is unrelated to
the actual election of candidates to public office.
One of the League of Minnesota Cities "A" priority issues is
to urge the legislature to provide funding for the election or the
repeal of the law providing for the presidential primary. The
League is encouraging cities to indicate their support for
legislative action.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 3497
2 . Amend and adopt Resolution No. 3497
3 . Take no action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative No. 1, adopt Resolution No. 3497 .
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Offer Resolution No. 3497, A Resolution Calling For Repeal of
Presidential Primary, and move its adoption.
RESOLUTION NO. 3497
A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR REPEAL OF PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
WHEREAS, the statute establishing the Presidential Primary was
initially adopted without legislative hearings; and
WHEREAS, the legislature has not provided reimbursement of
local government costs for conducting the primary; and
WHEREAS, the Presidential Primary is designed to provide
voters an opportunity to express preferences for the nomination of
presidential candidates by major national political parties; and
WHEREAS, the statute establishing the Presidential Primary
(M.S. 207A) requires voters to declare which political party ballot
they will receive prior to casting their vote; and
WHEREAS, such political party voter identification will become
public information and a permanent record of the voter registration
file; and
WHEREAS, such records will be available for political campaign
activities, including canvassing and fundraising; and
WHEREAS, the purpose and effect of the balloting conducted
during the Presidential Primary are unrelated to the actual
election of candidates to public office; and
WHEREAS, the outcome of the Presidential Primary balloting
will not determine the election of candidates to public office in
Minnesota or at the national level.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City
of Shakopee calls on the State Legislature to repeal the statute
establishing the Presidential Primary to eliminate requirements for
local government to fund the costs of the primary since such
balloting is essentially a political party activity which should
not be financed with tax revenues.
Adopted in session of the City Council of the City
of Shakopee, Minnesota, held this day of
, 1991.

FROM: Ann Higgins
RE: Draft resolution on postponement or repeal of
Presidential Primary
Enclosed please find a copy of a draft resolution calling on the
legislature to repeal (or at least postpone) the scheduled 1992
Presidential Primary. Local lawmakers in several districts have
indica--ed that it is important for local officials and constituents
to let them know that there is support for such action.
Cities must act now to make legislators aware of local support for
proposals to repeal (or postpone) the Presidential Primary. Please
request local officials to take up the discussion of these issues at
the next scheduled city council meeting.
Forward a copy of the resolution adopted by your city council to
local lawmakers immediately following the meeting. Please also let
me know of the action taken.
Encourage legislators who represent your city to co-sponsor
legislation. (See information below. )
'92 Presidential Primary adds to city election costs
During the '91 session, the League sought state funding of the '92
Presidential Primary to eliminate requirements for local government
to fund the costs of conducting balloting. The failure of the state
legislature to provide funding means that cities will be responsible
for paying for costs of conducting the primary at the polls on April 7,
1992 , and incurring those added expenses as a portion of '92 city
budgets already impacted by the loss of state aid.
Legislation calling for repeal to be introduced
Senator John Marty, a member of the Senate Elections Committee and a
vocal critic of the statute establishing the Presidential Primary,
has introduced legislation calling for repeal of Chapter 207A, and
has requested a hearing on the bill during the special legislative
session scheduled January 6 - 17 . It is important for cities to
indicate their support NOW for legislative action on this issue in
January. Grass roots concerns must be voiced in order to get
lawmakers and legislative leadership to recognize the need for
immediate action. February will be too late (when the regular
session is scheduled to begin) !
LSC Position
The LMC Legislative Committee comprised of the Board of Directors and
the chairs of League legislative policy committees has identified the
issue of the Presidential Primary as a top priority for '92 . The
League's current policy calls for lawmakers to fully fund all costs
costs of conducting the primary at the local level. New policy
recommended for '92 suggests ways in which such costs can be reduced
if the primary is held and calls again on the legislature to use
state and/or political party revenue sources to fund the primary.
Failing that, the League policy recommendation supports repeal of the
Presidential Primary. That policy recommendation is scheduled to be
considered for final adoption by LMC member cities on November 21.
In advance of that date, cities are encouraged to let local lawmakers
know about concerns at the local level and to adopt the enclosed
resolution (or use your own wording) to emphasize the urgency of
difficulties facing cities in the absence of legislative action.
