Mayor Laurent called the meeting to order at 7 : 15 PM. The
roll call was taken as noted above .
II . ALTERNATIVE LAND USE PLANNING STRATEGIES
Sweeney/Lynch moved to adjourn the meeting at 9 :00 PM.
Jon Albinson asked whether the public would have an
opportunity to input on the discussions . He stated that he
might excuse himself from the CDC Board because of possible
conflicts of interest .
It was recommended that Comm. Albinson remain at the meeting
as part of the CDC.
Cncl . Beard spoke against the motion.
Comm. Mars suggested a possible continuation of the Committee
of the Whole meeting if it begins to run late.
Motion failed with Cncl . Sweeney voting for the motion.
Mr. Ekola, City Planner, gave a brief introduction to the
meeting. He discussed the planning process for the East
Shakopee Area Transportation Study, the Comprehensive Sewer
Plan, the Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan and the
overall Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Ekola went over the three
alternative land use plans .
Mr. Ekola stated that the plan submitted to the Met Council
was alternative one.
Official Proceedings of the June 29, 1993
Shakopee City Council Page -2-
Cncl . Sweeney stated that the Met Council has several topics
or concerns, such as the ten acre lots instead of 2 1/2 acre
lots in the R-1 acres .
Mr. Kraft informed the Council that Shakopee did a survey to
see how many acres were vacant it was determined they had 1100
acres . However, the Met Council says Shakopee has 2900 vacant
acres available .
Mr. Ekola commented on the effects of the MUSA line and
transportation with surrounding cities, such as Prior Lake and
Savage . He stated they had looked at the future roadways and
the sewer lines where it separates the urban and rural areas .
Mr. Kraft commented that the Met Council was planning on
making Shakopee a part of the developing area and taking away
the free standing growth designation.
Mr. Ekola explained the alternatives, viewing them in 20
years . He stressed that the land use plans are preliminary
and intended to initiate discussions on future growth patterns
for the City. He stated that with Alternative #1, although
the land use plan proposes Agricultural uses past Dean Lake,
the area is currently zoned Light Industrial . This area is
not served by water and sewer but could develop in 20 acre
parcels with their own private water and sewer. Rezoning to
Agricultural uses could be a legal concern.
Mr. Ekola said Alternative 2 would include approximately 145
acres of commercial development as a large regional shopping
center. There would be about 80 acres used for multi-family
residences to the West . There would be about 300 acres of
single-family to the South and West. To the South would be
about 400 acres of more I-1 industrial .
Mr. Ekola explained Alternative 3, stating that the commercial •
had been reduced to about 60 acres, with multi-family, single-
family, and some industrial uses .
Mr. Ekola stated that Shakopee needs to look at the vacant
land, absorption, land use for households and acres, and the
bypass .
Mr. Ekola answered Cncl . Beard, stating that CR-21 will be a
four-lane road with limited access . CR-21 would be designated
as an arterial .
Chairman Albinson commented on memo 4 in the packet and stated
that it seemed one sided and wanted to comment on a few
points . He commented that Alternative 1 would be considered
share-growth, and felt the Alternatives 2 and 3 are the same
Official Proceedings of the June 29, 1993
Shakopee City Council Page -3-
as far as how they would promote Shakopee. Chairman Albinson
stated that the Council should not stick with the projection
numbers or any fixed number until more data has been obtained.
Comm. Christensen commented that this meeting should be
involved in looking at the big picture and not trying to
obtain too much data.
Chairman Albinson stated that each Alternative is going to
have an impact on certain things, such as public works,
schools, and he would like to have a break down on costs of
each Alternative to measure the differences .
Chairman Joos asked which Alternative would have the most
effective control of growth, as far as, being able to control
the growth within the confines of what Shakopee is right now.
Comm. Miller asked if anything had been done in relationship
to the downtown, the CR-17 corridor, and the existing mall and
how the new growth would effect the existing plans for these
areas .
Mr. Ekola stated they have looked at CR-17 but not from an
economic development view. He stated the plans they' re
proposing focus on the physical planning issues .
Comm. Miller asked Council' s opinion as to what would happen
to the downtown stores and growth if one of these Alternatives
were used.
Comm. Dirks suggested that they should be looking at what the
assets of Shakopee are.
Cncl . Sweeney stated that since this development will not be
taking place within the next year, there should be some
consideration of the legislative actions . He felt that there
would be a chance that Representative Orfield' s bill could be
voted in and then Shakopee would have to restructure all of
its plans .
Comm. Miller stated that instead of looking at small portions
of the City, one needs to look at the whole City and see how
each step would effect everywhere not just one area.
Mr. John Schmidt, audience, commented that the downtown area
may become small shops, such as antique stores, and remain
this way since there is not enough land for further
development . He suggested that the East end of Shakopee could
be accessible to about 75, 000 - 100, 000 people, however, the
East end also has a few problems such as, school districts,
more cost to the residential areas because they are not within
Official Proceedings of the June 29, 1993
Shakopee City Council Page -4-
the Shakopee City limits . The commercial tax aspect would
flow to the Burnsville school district . He also commented on
the fiscal disparities effecting the commercial area by about
60 percent . Mr. Schmidt suggested discussing with the Met
Council about what Shakopee should get in return for housing
one of their major regional sewer treatment facilities . He
sated that Highway 21 needs to be a large concern for the
City.
Cncl . Beard stated that if the East side of Shakopee were to
be developed that would attract growth to the entire City.
Mr. Kraft commented on the trade concept being used by the Met
Council with Jordan and Prior Lake and how Shakopee would
react to such a trade in the Eastern portion of the
development .
Comm. Mars commented that the characteristic map being used,
that was accepted by the Planning Commission and passed on to
the City Council, was what the Planning Commission viewed as
the big picture and should be used as a starting point . He
stated that across CR-18 would be a regional-commercial are
and Dean' s Lake area would become urban.
Chrmn. Joos suggested that each committee had the basic
questions and ideas in front of them and maybe they should
return to their own groups and discuss these matters again
amongst themselves for further direction.
Comm. Christensen asked about the re-zoning process for these
new developments .
Mayor Laurent stated the any re-zoning seems to be limited to
rural nature . He sated the City can rezone the areas but they
can' t expand the MUSA. The Met Council has the authority to
extend the MUSA.
Mr. Stock stated the committees still needed some answers on
the number of available acres and from there to get
information about absorption and growth. He commented that
there needs to be an economic analysis done on each section in
order for the committee to discuss it any further.
Mr. Kraft brought up the land in the Eastern portion of
Shakopee in the MUSA line that is under the moratorium.
Chairman Albinson stated this portion of land has a zero net
developable area because of Sheeley' s mining operation, there
is 180 acres of NSP land in the moratorium area, also the
Spande property for the bypass and the land along the South
side of 101 which is undeveloped.
Official Proceedings of the June 29, 1993
Shakopee City Council Page -5-
Mr. Kraft asked if the interceptor would be placed in Shakopee
then would development in land occur because then the people
would have to pay for it.
Mr. Stock suggested using a sub-committee, comprised of a
couple members of each committee or maybe a consultant could
be hired to obtain some of the information needed.
Comm. VanHorn asked what the costs would be for the tax payers
in Shakopee for each of the Alternatives suggested.
Mr. Kraft stated that the costs would be depend on the
development that was actually done. He stated if the
residential development would increase then the cost for the
tax payer would increase.
Cncl . Sweeney suggested continuing for a month so each
committee can meet and discuss more possibilities and obtain
more information.
Comm. Kelly stated that the City should not rush into any
development along the bypass or CR-18 interchange, because
this could only create problems in the future .
Comm. Zak commented on the ISD 720 staff who commented on the
school district boundaries and the difficulty changing
boundaries in these areas . He stated that this was their job
to make these changes and they should deal with the issue
directly.
Cncl . Beard suggested getting together with the Main Street
America and discussing some ideas.
III. ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Laurent adjourned the Committee of the Whole meeting at
9 :20 PM.
MEMORANDUM .4.5
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorney
DATE: July 8, 1993
RE: Conduct of Liquor Hearing
On July 27, 1993 , the City Council, in a committee of the
whole (acting as a hearing board) , is scheduled to conduct a
hearing regarding alleged liquor violations . This hearing shall
follow the administrative rules of evidence, and be taken down by
a court reporter. A detailed chronological list of these
procedures is set forth below.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council shall
issue a report, with a copy to all parties . The City Council may
direct staff to prepare the report .
The party who is adversely affected has a minimum 10-day
period to file exceptions and present arguments to the City
Council . After this period ends, the City Council (acting in its
usual capacity) , shall review the report and the exceptions (if
any were filed) and hear arguments . The City Council shall adopt
a resolution containing its decision, based on the record,
including findings of fact, conclusions, and an order. This
decision is provided to each party. Within 30 days the aggrieved
party may appeal to the Court of Appeals.
PROCEDURES FOR HEARING BOARD
1 . PRELIMINARIES . The speaker for the hearing board (probably
the Mayor) opens the meeting by stating essentially the
following:
This is a hearing to consider action against Jerry' s Bar
for liquor violations. The hearing will be conducted in
accordance with administrative rules of evidence. The City
shall present its information first, then Jerry' s Bar shall
present its information. All speakers shall be given an
oath, and will be requested to step up to the microphone and
state their name and address for the record. Are the
parties ready to proceed? (Wait until both the City
Attorney and the representative from Jerry' s Bar say yes. )
Does the City wish to make an opening statement?
2 . OBJECTIONS . At any time during the opening statement,
questioning of witnesses, or closing argument, either the
representative for Jerry' s Bar or the City Attorney may make
an "objection" . The hearing board must make a ruling on the
objection. If the objection is not clear, ask the objector
for more explanation. If you wish, you may ask the other
side to respond to the objection. The law provides that you
"may admit and give probative effect to evidence which
possesses probative value commonly accepted by
reasonable prudent persons in the conduct of their
affairs. [You] shall give effect to the rules of
privilege recognized by law. [You] may exclude
incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial and repetitious
evidence. "
3 . OPENING STATEMENT. Ask the City Attorney if she wants to
make an opening statement . When she is done, or if she says
no, ask the representative from Jerry' s Bar if he or she
wishes to make an opening statement .
4 . CITY' S CASE. After opening statements, say that the City
may call its first witness. (The City Attorney will
identify someone to speak, who comes to the microphone . )
The speaker for the hearing board presents the oath:
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
The City Attorney will begin to question the witness .
5 . CROSS-EXAMINATION. When the City Attorney is done
questioning the witness, the representative for Jerry' s Bar
should be asked if he or she wishes to cross-examine the
witness. If so, then when that is done, the City Attorney
must be asked if she has any "redirect" . If so, when it is
done, the Jerry' s Bar representative should be asked if
there are any further questions. Keep asking each party in
turn if there are any further questions until each says no.
Remember that the hearing board members have the right to
interrupt at any time to ask questions .
6 . The City Attorney calls her second witness . This witness is
given the oath, and questioning proceeds as above. The same
procedure is followed for all her witnesses .
7 . JERRY' S BAR' S CASE. When the City Attorney says she is done
or "rests" , it is Jerry' s Bar' s turn. Each witness is
called to the microphone, given the oath, and questioned by
the representative of Jerry' s Bar. The City Attorney is
given the opportunity to cross-examine. This follows the
procedures set forth above in paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 .
-2-
8 . REBUTTAL. First the City Attorney, and then the
representative of Jerry' s Bar, shall be given the
opportunity to submit "rebuttal" evidence, which is simply
more testimony to refute something an earlier witness said.
9 . Any questions by the hearing board should have been asked by
now. If any remain, ask them. Keep in mind that no factual
information or evidence may be used in making your
recommendation to the City Council unless it is stated or
presented during this hearing.
10 . CLOSING ARGUMENT. The City Attorney is invited to make a
closing argument . When she is done, the representative for
Jerry' s Bar is invited to make a closing statement .
11 . Now everybody is done except the hearing board. The hearing
board has to issue a report of the facts it heard, and may
make a recommendation as to a penalty. (The hearing board
may want to request staff or the representative of Jerry' s
Bar to prepare a draft report for it . ) Penalties are
limited to three: suspension of the liquor license for up
to 60 days, revocation of the license, or imposition of a
civil fine of up to $2000 . When the report is approved by
the hearing board, it will be forwarded to the City Council,
with copies to all parties.
12 . At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing board also may
wish to set time frames for preparation and mailing of the
report, and schedule the time for filing exceptions. This
must be at least a 10-day period. A reasonable time frame
would have the City Council considering the report,
exceptions, and arguments at its August 17, 1993 , meeting.
If you have any questions regarding this, please let me
know.

BACKGROUND:
Attached are copies of the minutes from the 1991 & 1992 joint
meetings with the Townships.
OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
ADJ.REG.SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA APRIL 9, 1991
Mayor Laurent called the meeting to order at 7 : 07 P.M. with
Councilmembers Zak, Wampach, Sweeney, Vierling and Clay present.
Also present were Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator; Judith S.
Cox, City Clerk; and Mark McQuillan, Program Supervisor for Parks
and Recreation. Present from Jackson Township were: Supervisors
James Ramaker and Norbert Theis; Treasurer, Earl Weckman; and
Clerk, Rose Menke. Present from Louisville Township were:
Supervisors Bill Dellwo and Marion Schmidt; and Clerk, James Theis.
The joint meeting took place in the Jackson Town Hall .
The City Administrator explained the costs to the City of Shakopee
for park maintenance, recreation department, and the operation of
the swimming pool. He also identified the revenues to support
them. He also identified the populations of each of the three
government jurisdictions according to the 1990 census data. Using
the populations to establish a ratio he explained the gross and net
costs per capita for each of the three programs. Mr. Kraft then
explained the gross and net costs by participants by program and by
households by program. Mr. Kraft then identified four options the
townships may wish to consider to share in the costs for programs
enjoyed by some of their residents.
Discussion followed among City Councilmembers.
Cncl.Clay suggested that there be a brake so that the townships
could talk among themselves about the material just presented.
Vierling/Clay moved for a recess at 8: 10 P.M. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mayor Laurent re-convened the meeting at 8:22 P.M.
Mayor Laurent asked for comments from the townships.
Marion Schmidt stated that she believes that the townships have
nothing to do with the parks and if the park costs are not included
in the user fees, that is Shakopee's problem. She thought that the
townships were only looking at the recreation user fees.
Jim Ramaker said that he supported cost sharing for the recreation
programs as discussed a few months ago in the amount of
approximately $2, 800 for Jackson. This is what he presented to his
people. What has been presented here tonight is a lot more. He is
against sharing in any costs other than what was presented last
year.
Norbert Theis said that the townships have other problems. He said
that it is hard to sell the cost participation idea and that they
have their own ball field and tennis court.
Proceedings of the City Council
April 9, 1991 Page -2-
Jim Ramaker stated that Shakopee has come back with a lot more
costs than presented last year. He said that he was afraid that
this would happen and that it is good to see this now.
Mayor Laurent explained that City staff has provided all this
information which City Council is seeing for the first time
tonight. He said that they are all policy makers and that they
must take this information and decide what they want to do with it.
He explained that as a Council they must represent and protect
their citizens from subsidizing programs for other jurisdictions.
Shakopee is looking for some funding by the townships to offset
costs for township participants or fees will need to be raised for
non-resident participants.
Discussion followed. Mr. Norbert Theis and Mr. James Ramaker
agreed that Jackson Township is willing to contribute to the costs
of the recreation activities according to the formula discussed
last year. Representatives from Louisville would like to take the
two alternatives (township pays or user fees) to their residents.
Consensus was to use the following formula for computing cost to
the townships based on the number of participants per activities:
Recreation expenditures minus revenues times the ratio of
participants per activities among: 1) Jackson Township, 2)
Louisville Township, and 3) City of Shakopee and those outside all
three jurisdictions.
Bill Dellwo suggested considering increasing adult fees, but
holding down fees for young children for the future.
Sweeney/Zak moved to accept a contribution from the townships as
calculated (expenses minus revenues times participants per activity
per government jurisdiction) in lieu of non-resident fees. Motion
carried unanimously.
Sweeney/Zak moved to stop collecting a user fee retroactive to
December 31, 1990. Motion carried unanimously.
(Mention was made that there are non-resident participants outside
of Shakopee and the townships. Either Shakopee pays for them or
they can charge a user fee for them. )
Rose Menke stated that the user fees already collected by Shakopee
can be credited against the user fees to be paid by the townships
for 1991. The townships agreed that they could make their 1991
user fee payment to Shakopee by April 1, 1992. It was acknowledged
that payment to Shakopee by the townships would always be one year
behind.

Mayor Laurent thanked everyone for their cooperation in working
together on this matter. Norbert Theis and Bill Dellwo thanked the
City Council for working with them.
Mayor Laurent adjourned the meeting to Tuesday, April 16, 1991 at
6: 00 P.M. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA APRIL 28, 1992
Mayor Laurent called the meeting to order at 4 :29 P.M. with
Councilmembers Joan Lynch and Robert Sweeney present.
Councilmembers Gloria Vierling and Michael Beard were absent. Also
present were Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator; Karen Marty, City
Attorney; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk; and Gregg Voxland, Finance
Officer. Dave Hutton, Public Works Director, arrived later for
discussion on the Special Assessment Policy.
Sweeney/Laurent moved to approve the minutes of March 31st, April
14th, and April 16th, 1992 . Motion carried with Cncl. Lynch
abstaining.
Janet Williams, Director of the Scott County Library System,
addressed the City Council. Ms. Williams stated when she sent the
library's annual report to the City, it occurred to her that she
hadn't met with Shakopee officials since 1980. She also stated
that all officials may not know how the library works and who is
responsible for what. She then provided the Council with
information about the Shakopee library. The current agreement
between the County and the City was signed in 1977. Under this
agreement, the City provides the building, insurance and utilities;
and, the County provides the staff, materials and furnishes the
building. It is renewable annually unless one party notifies the
other. The County has the same agreement with all seven cities.
Ms. Williams explained that the first library in Shakopee was
located on the northerly portion of the Marquette Bank building in
1969. It was later moved to its current site in 1970 and was
subsequently tripled in size in 1980. 95% of the County funding
comes from county dollars and 5% comes from the regional system.
Ms. Williams explained that approximately 9, 780 Shakopee people
have library cards, including township residents, and that in the
county approximately 38, 000 people have cards. In the last number
of years they have been experiencing problems with the clientele
and are training their people how to handle them.
Ms. Williams said that the use of the library is up and that March
is up 13% from the previous March. The county is growing and that
during a recession the library is usually used more. The library
serves as a meeting place. On April 1st, fines were implemented.
- There are two terminals for use by the public to access the
catalogue to learn what is available in the county system.
Ms.Williams stated that for the future she would like the City to
budget for new carpeting which could then be coordinated for
furnishings provided by the county. She stated that the current
building is adequate for the services being provided.
Official Proceedings of the April 28, 1992
Committee of the Whole Page -2-
Mayor Laurent thanked Ms. Williams for coming and providing the
Council with the information.
The City Administrator explained the County's sentencing to service
program whereby individuals can do work for cities rather than go
to jail. He said that it is different than community service
because there is a whole crew put together which has a supervisor
and equipment. They are available Thursday through Sunday. He
said that the program is currently costing the County $22, 000 a
year and that they would like cities to participate by pledging
one-half of the cost. Savage has agreed to $2, 200 in 1993 provided
at least three other cities also pledge. Council directed the City
Administrator to meet with Department Heads to identify any
projects the city may have that could be done by a crew.
Discussion ensued on the agenda for the joint meeting with the
townships. The Mayor reported on the Council meeting with the fire
department. He said that the Fire Department provided the Council
with a lot of good information and that they will be providing a
quarterly report in the future. No changes were made to the
tentative agenda.
The Council decided that it was not necessary to meet on Thursday
at 7 : 30 A.M. They also set Committee of the Whole meetings for
Monday, May 11th at 7:00 P.M. and Tuesday, May 26th at 7: 00 P.M. .
The meeting on the 26th is tentative and may have to be changed if
the May 12th Board of Review needs to be continued to that date.
Mr. Hutton, Public Works Director, explained that the Council has
a special assessment policy and a number of other policies which he
recommends be all incorporated into one document. He stated that
he and the city attorney are working on incorporating all policies
into one bock. He explained that he has kept his memo on the
special assessment policy general and has listed several issues the
Council may wish to discuss tonight.
The Council discussed benefit appraisals and where and when they
may wish to obtain appraisals on properties benefitted by
construction of public improvements. Cncl. Sweeney stated that if
a policy were written keeping the 2nd Avenue Improvements in mind,
it would be applicable to other parts of the community. Mayor
Laurent stated that he is not advocating doing benefit appraisals,
-but if we are going to do them, we need a policy. He stated that
if there is an appeal, an appraisal could be obtained so that the
matter could be settled rather than going to court. He stated that
he wants the city to have a fair assessment policy, one that can be
held up in court, and that he believes that the current policy is
fair.
Cncl. Sweeney stated that he believes that some parcels next to the
railroad on 2nd Avenue are not assessable at all. He stated that
Official Proceedings of the April 28, 1992
Committee of the Whole Page -3-
where parcels can not be assessed enough to pay for the
improvements along the gravel streets, the cost may have to be
funded some other way. This will result in it taking longer to
improve the gravel streets because the city will have to utilize
some of its funds.
Consensus of the Council was to allow Mr. Hutton to take a stab at
drafting a policy on where and when to obtain benefit appraisals on
properties benefitted by construction of public improvements.
Discussion ensued on improvements to gravel streets. Mr. Hutton
explained that the City policy is to assess streets receiving new
construction 100% and to assess streets receiving reconstruction
25%. He asked if Council wished to differentiate between urban and
rural streets. Some rural streets which have not been constructed
include Valley View, Muhlenhardt, Pike Lake, and Maras Street.
Urban streets needing construction include Jasper, Viking Steel,
the road between 10th and Shakopee Avenue just West of the church,
on Bluff North of 1st, Brook Lane East of the Dairy Queen, and
Webster East of the correctional facility. He explained that
assessments for rural roads may be high because the parcels in the
rural area are larger than those in the urban area.
Consensus of Council was to continue with the current assessment
policy and direct Mr. Hutton to identify the exceptions that fall
outside the policy and how those improvements might be paid for.
Mr. Hutton advised Council that the petition received for
improvements to Muhlenhardt Road is a legal petition. It is signed
by the required number of abutting property owners. He stated that
the petition did contain a clause stating that the petitioners only
agree to pay 25%. He said that if Council stays with the 100%
assessment policy, the petition should probably be recirculated so
that the people who signed it know that it is going to be assessed
100%.
Consensus of the Council was to delay accepting the petition until
Council has the opportunity to make changes to the special
assessment policy after Mr. Hutton identifies exceptions that fall
outside the assessment policy and how they might be paid for.
Mayor Laurent recessed the meeting at approximately 7 : 05 P.M.
Mayor Laurent re-convened the meeting at the Jackson Township Hall,
at approximately 7 :20 P.M. Present from the City of Shakopee were:
Councilmembers Robert Sweeney, Joan Lynch, and Mayor Laurent;
Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk;
Gregg Voxland, Finance Director; Mark McQuillan, Program
Supervisor; and Pete Ries, Fire Chief. Present from Jackson
Township were: Supervisors James Ramaker, Mark Luce and Norbert
Theis; Earl Weckman, Treasurer; and Rose Menke, Clerk. Present
Official Proceedings of the April 28, 1992
Committee of the Whole Page -4-
from Louisville Township were: Supervisors Bill Dellwo and Marion
Schmidt; and James Theis, Clerk.
Mark McQuillan stated that it was about one year ago when the three
governing bodies met to look at a variety of different ways to fund
recreation for the Townships participants. It was agreed to go
with what was originally discussed in 1990, to use the
participation per activity as applied to the City's current year's
ad valorum net tax contribution towards recreation. He explained
that the figures used for the formula for the percentage of the
dollar share were incorrect. The figures used for the City of
Shakopee were 8, 000 to 9, 000 higher than they should have been
because the figures included both fee and non-fee activity users
from the City of Shakopee. He explained the process used this year
to come up with the number of participants in fee activities from
the three jurisdictions. These figures affect the percentage of
participation from the communities.
Mr. McQuillan stated that the Park and Recreation Advisory Board
also discussed not using the current budget year. Since we are -
using the participation figures from the preceding year, it would
make sense to use the actual recreation expenditures from the
previous year also. He said that the Advisory Board is
recommending using 1991 participation figures and the 1991 budget
expenditures, which last year was $89, 858.00.
Mr. McQuillan explained that, because of the amount of time it
takes to come up with accurate figures showing the amount of
participants in fee activities from the three jurisdictions, staff
is recommending using a fixed rate. The fixed rate could be used
over a three year period with a percentage increase.
Marion Schmidt and Norbert Theis stated that they thought what was
discussed and decided on was that each township participant was to
pay an additional $3 . 00 per activity. They did not remember
anything about the participation formula explained by Mr.
McQuillan. Discussion followed.
Norbert Theis explained that Jackson has budgeted $2 , 880 for 1992
and $3, 000 for 1993 for their participation in the recreation
costs. He said that they do not have the money budgeted for
Jackson Township as identified in Mr. McQuillan's report. Mr.
Theis asked Shakopee to provide the Townships with copies of the
budget for recreation including where the costs are and the fee
schedule for participation in order that they can discuss this
matter further. Consensus was that the Townships would be provided
with this information and that they would get back to the City
Council.
A brief discussion ensued on what vehicles and man power are •
dispatched to a fire. Mr. Norbert Theis asked what was being
Official Proceedings of the April 28, 1992
Committee of the Whole Page -5-
planned for a second fire station. He asked if the townships could
be appraised well in advance when the City plans major purchases
for the Fire Department. They need to know this information well
ahead so that they can budget accordingly. The Fire Chief was
asked to provide the townships with a copy of the booklet which the
Fire Department distributed to Councilmembers at the Committee of
the Whole meeting on April 14th.
Mr. Kraft, City Administrator, advised the Township Boards that
Shakopee will be surveying about 400 people in the community to
determine the needs for a community center.
Mayor Laurent stated that some time ago there was a meeting with
the Jackson Township Chair, the Shakopee City Administrator and
Assistant City Administrator, and himself about orderly annexation.
Mr. Norbert Theis stated that there was an agreement between the
City and Jackson signed sometime ago. He agreed to send the City
copies of the agreement and the map of the boundaries within the
agreement. Mr. Theis stated that he thought annexation should be
put on the back burner and that he would like to see a sewer plan.
He said that they aren't going to give up any property and have it
lie in the city limits and not do anything with it like the
Vierling property. He said the City of Northfield had a good
annexation plan that Shakopee may wish- to take a look at.
Mayor Laurent asked if there was anything the Townships wished to
talk about. Mr. Norbert Theis stated that he would like to sit
down sometime and talk with the engineer and see what is planned
for the valley interceptor. He said that he attended a recent
meeting of the Shakopee Planning Commission when there was
discussion on a pump for the Link property. He said that he
thought it would be foolish to put in a pump just for the few
houses Mr. Link is putting in when there are other properties where
the highway is cutting off which will lay dormant if something
isn't done.
Councilman Sweeney asked if Louisville Township wanted to be
involved in the discussions with the Engineer at the same time as
Jackson Township. Mr. Dellwo responded yes.
Mayor Laurent asked if there was anything else that anyone wished
to talk about. There being no response, Mayor Laurent thanked
- everyone for attending the meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 8 : 48 P.M.
