Passed in regular session of the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission this 6th day of July, 1993 . t2ire9'61 President , Terrence E. O'Toole TTEST�: r Secretary, Barbara Menden OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE SHAKOPEE PARK & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JULY 26, 1993 The meeting was called to order at 7 :00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers . Paulette Rislund presiding. Present : Paulette Rislund, Paul TenEyck, John Tieben and Dolores Lebens. Absent : Anne Siefert, Steve Johnson and Bob Tomczik. Lebens/Tieben to approve the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. TenEyck/Tieben to approved the July 26, 1993 minutes as kept . Motion carried with Board member Lebens abstaining. Mr. Stock reviewed a request from residents within the Kilarney Hills Subdivision for improvements to the park located in their area. Mr. Stock noted that approximately 3 .44 acres of land was dedicated as a part of the Kilarney Hills Subdivision in 1971 . At that time, the subdivision was within the Eagle Creek Township. Mr. Stock noted that City staff has not taken a proactive approach to developing this park since there are only 9 homes presently located in the subdivision. Additionally, Mr. Stock noted that at one point in time their was concern that the southerly bypass would be going through this area. Mr. Stock noted that the current southerly bypass alignment will miss the entire subdivision. Mr. Merlin Jeseritz and Rod Robinson were present to explain their desire for the park to be approved. Mr. Robinson noted that there is presently a pile of rock and construction debris on the park. He requested the Park Board to consider having the rock piles removed. He also requested that several holes be filed in the park. Mr. Robinson and Mr.Jeseritz indicated that residents in the area have taken the liberty to cut the grass in the park in the past . They are very willing to continue to maintain the park if the rock piles could be removed. The residents went on to state that they understand that it would be cost prohibitive to do major improvements in the park since it only benefits 9 homes and 19 children. They did hope that the City could cut the grass on a regular basis . They also stated that if a backstop could be installed it would be greatly appreciated. The residents also offered to install the backstop if the City would provide the materials . Mr. Stock stated that he felt the requests being made by the residents were more than reasonable and that the rock piles could be removed in short order. Mr.Stock stated that he appreciated the residents interested in maintaining the park and that perhaps this neighborhood could be used as an example for the adopt a park program which is scheduled for discussion later this evening. The residents stated that they would be interested in the adopt a park program and would be happy to assist the City in maintaining the park. Chair Rislund commended the residents for attending the meeting and concurred that the requests were reasonable . Official Proceedings of the July 26, 1993 Shakopee Park & Recreation Advisory Board Page -2- Lebens/TenEyck moved to direct staff to take the necessary steps to have the rock piles and debris removed from the park and to work with the residents of Kilarney Hills to develop a improvement and maintenance plan for their park. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock stated that several communities are implementing an adopt a park program similar to the successful adopt a highway program. Mr. Stock questioned whether or not the Board felt it would be beneficial for the City to pursue the development of such a program. Mr. Stock stated that if the Board is supportive, staff would draft program guidelines. Mr. Stock noted that he did not feel that some of the larger parks in Shakopee would be suitable for the adopt a park program but that the neighborhood parks would more likely suit the program. Commissioner TenEyck stated that perhaps the program could include special projects within larger parks that could be adopted by various groups. Mr. Stock stated that the program guidelines could include the development and maintenance of particular projects within larger parks. TenEyck/Lebens to directed staff to develop program guidelines for an adopt a park program to be presented at the August meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock noted that at the June 28, 1993 meeting the Park & recreation Advisory Board recommended approving Option A for the installation of new playground equipment at Veterans Memorial Park contingent upon staffs solicitation of $10, 000 . 00 in donations from local service organizations . Mr. Stock stated that he has discussed the matter with VFW officials . He will be attending the Board meeting next Wednesday to present a proposal for funding. ; Based on preliminary discussions however, Mr. Stock stated that he believes that the VFW will only contribute approximately $100 . 00 per month to the project over a 5 year period. Mr. Stock stated that Mr. McQuillan is working with the American Legion and that a similar contribution might be in the works from the Legion. These two attempts for donations fall short of the Park & Recreation Advisory Board' s $10, 000 . 00 additional match. Mr. Stock went on to state that he felt that this project is of major significance and that in his opinion was one of the highest priorities for park development in the City at this time. Memorial Park receives a great number of users through the course of a year. The park is a primary rest stop for travelers as well as for residents who schedule family reunions, picnics, etc. Mr. Stock reviewed a revised park reserve fund projection analysis . Mr. Stock stated that he was recommending that we go ahead with the Option A and complete the project yet this year. He stated that the park reserve fund will still have a positive fund balance through 1996 given the projects that have been identified for completion over the next three years. Basically, the park reserve fund receives $30, 000 . 00 per year in park dedication fees. In essence this is Official Proceedings of the July 26 , 1993 Shakopee Park & Recreation Advisory Board Page -3- what we will have available to complete park development projects from this point forward. Commissioner TenEyck stated that he felt that playground equipment project at Memorial Park was badly needed. He stated that he was in favor of utilizing the park reserve fund to complete the entire project at this time. Mr. TenEyck also questioned whether or not the capital improvement fund could be utilized in the future for land acquisition. He questioned whether or not the property south of the High School would be acquired with the capital improvement fund. He noted that when the swimming pool liner was paid for out of the park reserve fund that Council indicated that the capital improvement fund could be utilized for park needs. Mr. Stock stated that the pool liner was approximately $120, 000 . 00 . The property south of the High School was being acquired with funding from the capital improvement fund. The cost for the property south of the High School will be in excess of the $120, 000 . 00 that was allocated from the park reserve fund for the pool liner. Mr. Stock did state that in the future the capital improvement fund could be used for land acquisition if Council so desired. Chair Rislund stated that she also feels at this time that it would be appropriate to proceed with the entire playground equipment at Memorial Park utilizing the park reserve fund. Lebens/TenEyck to recommend to City Council that the appropriate City officials be authorized to purchase new playground equipment from Earl F. Anderson not to exceed the bid amount of $45, 684 . 67 and allocate an additional $3 , 000 . 00 for the purchase of border and pathway materials to be installed by City staff with the entire project cost to be allocated from the park reserve fund. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion ensued on the 5 year park improvement program. Mr. Stock noted that there are a number of major projects included in the 5 year park improvement program that rely heavily on contributions from organizations and/or grants. He noted that the park reserve fund will not have adequate funds to complete all the projects as scheduled. He also noted that many of the projects that are scheduled rely on contributions from community organizations . The park reserve fund will continue to have a small positive fund balance due to the fact that major projects which require organization contributions or grants are simply not pursued if the contribution or grant is not received. Mr. Stock stated that some of the projects that are listed in the 5 year development plan have been pushed back due to the lack of funding. Mr. Stock questioned whether or not the Park Advisory Board wants to take a more pro-active position in completing some of the major projects . Mr. Stock acknowledged that funding will be an on-going concern to get these projects completed. Official Proceedings of the July 26, 1993 Shakopee Park & Recreation Advisory Board Page -4- Commission TenEyck stated that he felt the Park Board should take a more pro-active position in seeing that some of these projects get completed in a timely manner. He noted that funding will always be an issue . The Park Board should develop a plan and present it to City Council for adoption. A funding source other than contributions should also be identified. Chair Rislund stated that she would like staff to complete an analysis of the various City funds and what they can be used for. She felt that this would be beneficial in making a recommendation to City Council . TenEyck/Lebens to direct staff to prepare a priority list of major park improvement projects and a analysis of the various City funds for discussion at the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock stated that this past February residents from Foothill Trails appeared before the Board to request a temporary ice skating rink on a neighborhood dead end street . Mr. Stock noted that the Public Works Director is opposed to the idea for several reasons . Mr. Stock noted that the Public Works Director is concerned about ice and snow expediting the deterioration of the road. Mr. Stock noted that an asphalt surface is also not a very good surface to make ice on. Liability is also a concern when something is placed on public right-of-way. For the aforementioned reasons, staff is recommending that no ice skating rink be constructed in the Foothill Trails subdivision at this time. Mr. Stock noted that there is no other park land in the area where a ice skating rink could be constructed. Chair Rislund stated that she felt the residents should be informed by letter of the rationale for not pursuing an ice skating rink. She also noted that Mr. Hutton' s list of concerns are valid and make construction of the rink in that area somewhat prohibitive at this time. Commissioner Lebens also stated that she was concerned about setting precedence in an area by allowing park projects on City right-of-way. TenEyck/Lebens moved to direct staff to inform residents of Foothill Trails that the request for establishing a ice skating rink in their area is being denied. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion ensued on the fee structure for recreation activities. Chair Rislund noted that she believed the comments made at the referendum public informational meeting regarding recreation fees is limited to one particular team within the women' s softball league. Commission TenEyck stated that he felt field scheduling should be discussed by the Park Board later this fall . Mr. Stock stated that he felt the Park Board should review field scheduling for 1994 and determine which programs should receive priority scheduling. It was the consensus of the Board that field scheduling be included on the agenda for discussion at the August or September meeting. 1 Official Proceedings of the July 26 , 1993 Shakopee Park & Recreation Advisory Board Page -5- Chair Rislund asked if there was any other business . Commission Lebens stated that she felt dogs in City parks continued to be a problem. She questioned if the Board would support not allowing any dogs in City parks. Mr. Stock stated that the position of not allowing dogs in City parks would be a bit extreme and somewhat difficult to enforce. The concept of establishing dog walking areas in City parks was discussed. Mr. Stock stated that he felt the establishment of a dog walking area in Memorial Park would be beneficial due to the high number of travelers that use the park as a wayside rest . It was the consensus of the Board to maintain the status quo in terms of dogs in City parks . Commissioner Tieben stated that the water fountain at Stans Park is not working. He also noted that Lions Park water fountain was not working properly. Mr. Stock stated that he would have the Public Works Department check into these matters.

We have read your letter to the editor in the Shakopee Valley News July 23, 1993. We are saddened by your feelings that our offers of building a berm or even place a strip of land between the Shakopee Village and our proposed wood preservation facility have "vanished". Our plans have not changed. We are very sensitive to the needs of your neighborhood and will continue in our effort to make our facility workable on our land. This includes the possibility of some sort of buffer yet to be determined by us with your input to take care of the needs of Shakopee Village as well as Universal Forest Products. We invite your input with regard to this as we wish to continue to be a good neighbor of yours as well as the City of Shakopee! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call us.

The land lies between the city of Shakopee and the future by-pass. The attached map identifies the parcel . We are requesting the Council consider action to include this land in the MUSA in order to provide the development with city services . The development has the potential to raise the tax base by $25 - 30 million. The owners intend to petition for annexation by the City of Shakopee, as allowed by MNSTAT 414 . 033 subdiv . 2 clause 3 . This annexation request is contingent , however , on the parcel being included in the MUSA. They do not plan to develop the land if rural services of septic systems and wells must be used.

Cox City Clerk Debra Zabel Recording Secretary 1� ck , CONSEI\IT MEMO TO: DENNIS KRAFT, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: MARK MCQUILLAN, PROGRAM SUPERVISOR SUBJECT: PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT BIDS FOR MEMORIAL PARK DATE: 7/28/93 INTRODUCTION At its July 26, 1993 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended to the City Council to accept Earl F. Anderson bid proposal of $45, 684 . 67 for purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Veterans Memorial Park. BACKGROUND At the March 16, 1993 City Council Meeting, the Council authorized staff to prepare plans and specifications and solicit bids for new playground equipment at Memorial Park. The specifications were to include two bid options in terms of the project scope. Option A is the more expensive plan with a third more pieces of equipment than Option B. Option A would accommodate 30-60 children and Option B about 20-30 children. The cost of playground equipment has escalated in recent years because of stricter U. S. Consumer Product Safety Guidelines and the American Disabilities Act . It was estimated that Option A would cost approximately $50, 000 and Option B about $25, 000 . Six suppliers of playground equipment requested plans, but only three submitted bid proposals by the deadline on June 22 , 1993 . The three bid proposals were submitted by Earl F. Anderson, Inc representing Landscape Structure Playground Equipment, Flanagan Sales, Inc . representing Iron Mountain Forge Playground Equipment and Minnesota Playground, Inc. representing Game Time Playground Equipment . The City will use its maintenance personnel to install the timber boarder, pea rock and accessible pathway. Materials for these projects will be purchased separately from the bid package . The estimated cost is $3 , 000 and the funding source proposed would be the Park Reserve Fund. Bids were submitted as follows: BIDDER OPTION A OPTION B MINNESOTA PLAYGROUND, INC. $36,490 . $31, 348 . 70 FLANAGAN SALES, INC. $42, 600 . $32, 150 . EARL F, ANDERSON $45, 684 . 67 $35,456 . 19 Staff was quite pleased with the bids. Although, we were a little surprised the bids for Option B were as high as they are. The Park Advisory Board believes that option A would be a more viable choice since it has a third more equipment at only a slightly higher cost . 1 BID REVIEW Staff reviewed each proposal for its ability to comply with the Veterans Memorial Park Playground Specifications. Some latitude was allowed in the specifications because of the structural differences applied to locking devices, thickness of metals and plastics and patent rights each company may have on certain pieces of equipment . The plans and specifications for both options were developed by Earl F. Anderson, Inc. The specifications were intentionally drafted to allow the bidder to deviate from the specifications as long as they indicated those deviations on the Specification Sheet and were able to provide equipment that was equal or superior to those specified in the specifications . For the most part, all three suppliers either matched or exceeded the specifications outlined on the Specification Sheets . However, staff determined the low bidder, Minnesota Playground, Inc . , did not meet or exceed the specifications for the swing set poles and cross beam. The specifications for the swing set calls for aluminum post with a 5" outside diameter. Earl F. Anderson and Flanagan Sales both proposed systems that met this specification. Minnesota Playground, Inc . , on the other hand, proposed using galvanized steel post with 2 3/8" outside diameter. Even though the 2 3/8" steel post would be adequate, it would not be fair to the other two suppliers who bid according to the specs . The smaller post will also appear out of proportion with the rest of the playground equipment which has 5" 0. D. post . For these reasons, the Park and Recreation Advisory Board recommends that the bid proposal submitted by Minnesota Playground, Inc. be rejected. RECOMMENDATION The difference in the bid proposals for options A ans B between Flanagan sales and Earl F. Anderson was about $3 , 000 with Flanagan Sales being the low bidder in both cases . However, after thorough examination and review of the two proposals, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended that Earl F. Anderson' s proposal be accepted. The reasons are as follows : VINYL RUBBER COATING A. Of the three bidders, only Earl F. Anderson equipment had the vinyl rubber (tendertuff) coating as specified. Neither Flanagan Sales, Inc. or Minnesota Playground, Inc. met the criteria stated in the specifications . Tendertuff coating is a thick rubber like vinyl coating applied to metal parts . It is more expensive than paint . Tendertuff coating was specified on several pieces of equipment including rails, loops, handlebars; transition handle bars, decks, guard rails, vertical ladders, step ladder, clevis' , rings and chain links on swing set and bridge, trapeze handle, track ride handle, chain ladder and wheel . The advantages of using the vinyl coating are as follows : 1 . It wears longer than powder coating paint . 2 . It requires less maintenance. 3 . It reduces slippage and possible injury on the equipment . 4 . It will not get hot as compared to painted metal . When metal is exposed to sunlight for an extended period of time it tends to get very hot which could burn a person' s hand or bare feet . The apparatus is also less usable. A. Earl F. Anderson has aluminum caps on their post . The other two proposals have plastic caps . B. E. F. Anderson' s Spiral slide length is 72" . Flanagan Sales is 64" . C. Earl F. Anderson was the only bidder that met or exceeded the specification for the top layer of the handicap accessable resilient surface. The thickness of the top layer is important from the stand point of longer wear and maintenance. Surface thickness proposed: E.F. Anderson is 5/8" thick, Flanagan Sales is 1/4" thick and MN Playground is 3/8" thick. ALTERNATIVES 1 . Move to recommend to the City Council to purchase playground equipment for Veterans Memorial Park from Earl F. Anderson, Inc. t. Option A (or Option B) . 2 . Move to recommend to the City Council to purchase playground equipment for Veterans Memorial Park from Flanagan Sales, Inc . Option A (or Option B) . 3 . Move to recommend to the City Council to purchase playground equipment for Veterans Memorial Park from Minnesota Playground, Inc. Option A (or Option B) . 4 . Reject all bids and re-advertize. ACTION REQUESTED Move to recommend to the City Council to authorize the appropriate city officials to purchase new playground equipment from Earl F. Anderson not to exceed the bid amount of $45, 684 . 67 and allocate $3 , 000 for the purchase of border and pathway materials which will be installed by City staff with funding for the project to be allocated from the Park Reserve Fund. MEMO TO: The Honorable Mayor and Council, City of Shakopee The Honorable Board of Commissioners, County of Scott FROM: Dennis R. Kraft, Shakopee City Administrator Cliff G. McCann, Scott County Administrator RE: Financial Assistance to Murphy' s Landing DATE: July 30, 1993 INTRODUCTION: Representatives from Murphy' s Landing will be addressing both the City Council and the County Commissioners for the purpose of requesting financial assistance for the operation of Murphy' s Landing. Murphy' s Landing currently is reportedly in a tenuous financial position and will likely close in the near future if assistance is not provided. BACKGROUND: Dr. Roland Pituslka of the Minnesota Valley Restoration Project (MVRP) Board of Directors, the group that is under contract with the City of Shakopee to run Murphy' s Landing will be in attendance at the City Council meeting of August 3rd. At that meeting he will outline the steps that the Murphy' s Landing Board has taken in an attempt to become financially self sufficient and will also describe the current financial state of the operation. Murphy' s Landing has recently had an audit completed for them by the Shakopee accounting firm of Friend and Furrie . Dr. Pituslka will be able to answer questions relative to the current financial status of Murphy' s Landing. We believe most City Council and County Board Members are aware, the majority of Murphy' s Landing property is actually owned by the City of Shakopee. A small interest in a portion remains with the County. Currently the Scott County Board of Commissioners provides financial assistance in the range of $37, 500 for the annual operating budget of Murphy' s Landing. At this time the City of Shakopee is providing no direct financial assistance although they have done so in the recent past . The City of Shakopee does provide certain public works services such as snow plowing for Murphy' s Landing. Attendance has fallen further exacerbating the financial dilemma of Murphy' s Landing. General weather conditions, the flooding on the Minnesota River and the closure of bridges have cut attendance considerably. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that if the City Council and the County Board of Commissioners decide to provide financial assistance to Murphy' s Landing that each entity agree to provide 50% of the assistance for a two year period. If Murphy' s Landing is not on a self sustaining basis by that time, provisions would be made to close the facility. Based upon the findings of the recent audit of the facility it appears as though the deficit for this year will be in the $60 , 000 to $70, 000 range. If the governing bodies decide to provide additional financial support for Murphy' s Landing, it is also recommended that such support be contigent upon both the City and County financial staffs being given an opportunity to evaluate the operation and to determine if additional cost saving measures can be taken. Physical inspection of all facilities shall be made as well to determine if any unaccounted repairs need to be made . The hiring of a business manager or the retention of the services of a business consultant has also been discussed. It is further recommended that the evaluation of the operation also determine whether additional in-kind services can be provided by either the City of Shakopee or the County of Scott which would further reduce the anticipated operating deficit . ACTION REQUESTED: It is recommended that the Shakopee City Council and the Scott County Board direct the appropriate staffs to formulate a joint powers agreement between the governmental entities and Murphy' s Landing which embodies the above mentioned recommendations and others as deemed appropriate by both the County Board and the City Council including retaining the services of a business manager or consultant . MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorney DATE: July 29, 1993 RE: ADA and Murphy' s Landing At the Committee of the Whole meeting on June 2, 1993, you asked whether the ADA applied to Murphy' s Landing buildings, which are on City property. I asked the paralegal intern, Leslie Green, to review this issue and prepare a report back to me. Her report is attached. Under the ADA, public accommodations, such as Murphy' s Landing, are indeed required to make reasonable modifications to accommodate individuals with disabilities . However, an exception exists when an entity can demonstrate that the modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the facility. Murphy' s Landing may be able to meet this burden, since they have historic buildings and a unique "community" appearance that includes both the outside and inside of their buildings. Since the buildings belong to Murphy' s Landing, the City is unlikely to be required to take any steps to make the buildings accessible. However, when we next modify the contract with Murphy' s Landing, it would be appropriate to include language specifying who is responsible for compliance with any federal or state laws or regulations . If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Signed 4'' Q �` ll� 1- Karen Marty, Ci ttorney KEM:bjm (. [2 9MEMO] Attachment cc : Dennis Kraft Leslie Green MEMORANDUM TO: Karen Marty FROM: Leslie Green DATE: July 27, 1993 RE: ADA and Murphy' s Landing Question: Does the ADA apply to the Murphy' s Landing buildings, which are on city property? Facts: Murphy' s Landing is located on city property, but the buildings on the property are owned by Murphy' s Landing. Murphy' s Landing is a historical society and is designed to be frequented by the general public. Analysis: Title III of the ADA is entitled Public Accommodations and Services Operated by Private Entities . Section 12181 (6) defines a private entity as "any entity other than a public entity (as defined in Section 12131 (1) of this title) . " Section 12181 (7) states that "private entities are considered public accommodations for the purposes of this subchapter, if the operations of such entities affect commerce. " This includes; . (b) a restaurant, bar, or other establishment serving food or drink; (c) a motion picture house, theater, concert hall, stadium, or other place of exhibition or entertainment; . . . (h) a museum, library, gallery, or other place of public display or collection. . . . " Section 12182 (a) of Title III prohibits discrimination by public accommodations . It states : "No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to) , or operates a place of public accommodation. " Any owner of a public accommodation may not discriminate against an individual based on disability. In Title III Section 12182, Subd. B (2) (A) (ii) , it states that discrimination includes; "A failure to make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures, when such modifications are necessary to afford such goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to individuals with disabilities, unless the entity can demonstrate that making such modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of such goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations . " The entity must make the necessary modifications to its facilities, unless the modifications would drastically alter the nature of the facilities . Conclusion: Murphy' s Landing is a private entity and a public accommodation. Although Murphy' s Landing owns the buildings and they are on city property, it is still prohibited from discriminating on the basis of disability. The ADA does not have a specific section on who is responsible for making the proper alterations to Murphy' s Landing so it would comply with the regulations. Although there was not a specific section that stated who was responsible, the reading itself suggests that the entity (Murphy' s Landing) would be responsible for compliance. As seen in Section 12182, Subd. B (2) (A) (ii) , the entity (Murphy' s Landing) makes the necessary modifications to reduce the discrimination against people with disabilities, unless these modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the facilities . Murphy' s Landing may be required to make the modifications, unless they demonstrate that the changes would fundamentally alter the historical and educational nature of the property. [murphy.mem] b.

Kraft, City Administrator RE: Policy Directions for the Chaska Interceptor DATE: July 30, 1993 INTRODUCTION: On Wednesday, August 4, 1993 City staff will meet with Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Waste Control Commission staff members to discuss the Chaska Interceptor and related issues of who pays for what costs. Policy directions are needed from the City Council on these issues. DISCUSSION: Several meetings have been held by the City, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and Metropolitan Council staff to discuss the Chaska Interceptor. The background issues involved with the City's land supply and demand have been thoroughly reviewed and discussed. The Metropolitan Council's land inventory study has resulted in an adequate land supply for the City's growth beyond the year 2000. The problem facing the City of Shakopee is the amount of developable single family residential land is not adequate to provide for the projected growth. Based on the Met Council inventory there is also an over supply of industrial, commercial and multi-family residential vacant land. The larger vacant land areas within the MUSA area tend to be located around the racetrack and in the Valley Green Business Park area. Certainly, transforming the vacant industrial areas in the business park to single family residential uses would not be wise. Additional consideration is needed to change the industrial, commercial, and multi-family residential uses around the racetrack to single family residential uses. Perhaps some of the future single family residential uses could be accommodated in the racetrack area. But that will not provide the necessary land areas for the City's future single family residential growth in the next ten years. The City is facing the need to consider one or more MUSA land trades in order to expand the developable single family residential land areas in the City. Staff will present additional information and two residential growth options at the August 3 City Council meeting. Where growth will occur in the next ten and twenty years will significantly impact the City's costs required for the Chaska Interceptor projects. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting policy direction from the City Council on the Chaska Interceptor and related land use issues for the Wednesday, August 4 meeting. #-I- � .

Stock, Assistant City Administrator RE: Tent Sale Request - Lathrop Paint Supply DATE: July 28, 1993 INTRODUCTION: Section 7 . 08 of the Shakopee City Code allows for the sale of goods upon public property with City Council approval . Attached is a correspondence from Ms . Kay Elliott, Lathrop Paint Supply Manager requesting permission to have a sale on the City sidewalk in front of their establishment . BACKGROUND: On July 19, 1993 staff received a correspondence from Lathrop Paint Supply Company requesting permission to hold a "tent sale" on the sidewalk adjacent to the Lathrop Paint Supply building. The request is for a one day sale to occur on Wednesday, September 22, 1993 from 10 : 00 a.m. to 2 : 00 p.m. City Council has granted similar requests for sidewalk sales in the downtown area. Ms . Elliott has assured staff that the sidewalk will provide adequate room for the public to use the sidewalk during said sale . Staff would also like to point out that the sidewalk adjacent to the Lathrop Paint Supply building is wider than the normal sidewalk width due to the fact that parallel parking exists on the West side of Lewis Street in this area. City Council has granted similar requests for sidewalk sales in the downtown area in the past . Additionally, since the sidewalk adjacent to the Lathrop Paint Supply building is wider than normal, staff believes that it will not have an adverse impact on pedestrian traffic. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the request . ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Grant permission for Lathrop Paint Supply Company to hold a tent sale on public property adjacent to the Lathrop Paint Supply building on Lewis Street for Wednesday, September 22, 1993 . 2 . Do not approve the request for a tent sale as submitted by Lathrop Paint Supply Company. 3 . Table action pending further information from staff .

This year, because of the construction of the by-pass, road construction, the flood causing the closing of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge, Hwy 169, and Hwy. 41 , it has become a struggle to get to Shakopee, let alone, attract customers in to town. All in all, problems like these have caused hardships on all the businesses in the community. Along with other promotions and sales, we plan on turning this problem around. We would like to put up an open air tent on the sidewalk of Lewis and First for our "Tent Sale". We will have new airless spray equipment on the sidewalk but the sidewalk will not be blocked. There will be plenty of room for the public to use the sidewalk. The date would be Wednesday, September 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Thank you in advance for your assistance. If it would be beneficial to my cause, I can arrange to be at the council meeting when this matter is put before it. I would ask that you let me know in advance of the meeting. Again, thank you. Sincerely yours, '6 -*, ;2___s...i../.A.:44 ).„1 Kay liott Shakopee Manager KE/j l CONSE1I MEMO TO: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator el/ FROM: Dave Hutton, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Study DATE: July 27, 1993 INTRODUCTION: Attached is a request from the City's sewer consultant, Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH), regarding an increase in engineering fees for the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Study. BACKGROUND: On August 17, 1991, the City Council of Shakopee authorized the hiring of a consultant, SEH, to prepare a Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan. The previous Sanitary Sewer Plan was completed in 1982 and the City's Comprehensive Plan recommended updating the sewer plan. The Comprehensive Sewer Study consisted of 4 main areas: • Preparing a Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and a 20 year MUSA expansion plan. • Updating the Inflow/Infiltration Study of the River Trunk Sewer. • Prepare a feasibility report for the South Shakopee/Chaska Interceptor. • Develop City alternatives for issues dealing with the MWCC Lift Station (L-16) and Interceptor Line to Blue Lake (7023). The original contract was signed in November, 1991 for a total estimated fee of $110,000.00. Since that date, the City Council authorized an additional $20,000.00 for work needed to complete the I/I analysis of the River Interceptor for a total current contract of$130,000.00 The Scope of Services indicated that the project would be completed in 1 year. This project is funded by the Sanitary Sewer Fund. Since this project has been started, numerous other issues have surfaced which increased the services needed by the consultant and have delayed the completion of the project. The City Council is aware of most of these issues, but they include the following items. • Rahr Malting sewer flows and attempting to accommodate their increased flows due to Malthouse No. 5. • The whole issue of the Chaska Interceptor and working with all the various agencies to determine the best alternative for Shakopee. • Updating the Met Council revised growth projects which are different than what was listed in the 1990 Comprehensive Plan. (Note: The Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan data and flow projections are based entirely on the population and the growth projections). • St. Francis Hospital sanitary sewer options. • The length of the project is now approaching two years. Because the contract with SEH indicates that they will be reimbursed on an hourly rate, the cost of this project has increased due to the reasons outlined above. Attached is a letter from SEH indicating that the estimated final project costs will be $196,386.00. The letter also provides additional explanation on the additional costs. Staff was notified approximately 6 months ago that the project would probably go over budget and has been reviewing the additional coats as compared to the original contract to determine those costs that are justified. The attached letter from SEH is the final results of 6 months worth of review and negotiations by City staff on all the additional items. SEH is'requesting that the City Council authorize the increase in their contract to $196,386.00 to complete the study. The study is basically 95% completed and the only piece of information missing is the final results of the negotiations between Met Council and the City regarding the Chaska Interceptor cost. Therefore, the consultant does not foresee the need for any additional increases in the contract costs or Scope of Services beyond this request. A representative from SEH will be available at the August 3, 1993 City Council meeting to respond to any questions regarding their request. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the request. 2. Deny the request. 3. Table the request for additional information. RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels that all additional costs are fully justified, especially considering the number of issues that have come up since the study started and the fact that a 1-year study has been turned into a 2-year study. Most, if not all of the delays and additional costs, have been generated by external sources and agencies outside the City's control. SEH has provided invaluable assistance and input into all of these important sanitary sewer issues. Staff recommends Alternative No. 1. ACTION REQUESTED: Move to approve of an increase in the contract with Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. to $196,386.00 for the completion of the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan.

City Engineer/Director of Public Works City of Shakopee 129 South Holmes Street Shakopee MN 55379 Dear Dave: Thanks for taking the time over the last several months to review in detail our request for additional engineering fee on subject project. As we had discussed, many work tasks have been expanded or added to the project to meet the City's changing needs. The extra engineering services were discussed as the need for them occurred,but we had not taken the time to formalize the extent of any adjustment to the engineering fee. If engineering fee adjustments had been requested throughout the project as the need for adjustments occurred, the number of requests could have become a continuing nuisance due to the number of times other factors influenced our work. In addition, the impact of some of the changes on the scope of work were not readily quantifiable until the work was completed. You and I concur on the need for and extent of these extra engineering services. Attached to this letter is a summary of all the work previously authorized by the City Council on this project along with a listing of the extra services provided. Review of the attached summary will reveal the following major impacts on our fee: Major Changes in Scope of Work; Reasons for Benefits of the Estimated Cost Change Additional Work Improve sanitary sewer Resolve discrepancies; add MWCC More accurate and complete data system data base: $6,000 sewer system data; imported base allowed more sewer routing National Wetlands Inventory alternatives to be explored; better electronic mapping. planning tool available to staff; data base consistent with other agencies.

Many alternatives added MWCC and Mn/DOT construction Any proposed interceptor sewer to South Shakopee Trunk plans still changing. alignment can be responded to Sewer Feasibility study: with knowledge of cost impact on $10,000 Shakopee, including possible elimination of two lift stations. Several of the reasons for change in the engineering work effort also resulted in the work continuity being interrupted several times, causing some inefficiency. (Most notably were the inclusion of Rahr Malting in the sewer system, the uncertainty of the timing of urbanization beyond the year 2010, and the changes to the work schedule caused by the MWCC and Mn/DOT). To compound matters,the extended study period caused a higher percentage of the work to be done after implementation of two annual salary increases at SEH, thereby causing the cost of the work to increase beyond what was budgeted. This request for additional engineering fee does not include other work SEH has been authorized by the City to perform, nor work performed under separate agreement for Rahr Malting. The Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, including separate documents being prepared under the same project, is again near completion. Upon resolution of several planning issues, the MWCC Chaska Interceptor alignment, and final coordination with Mn/DOT on sewer construction, our work can be Dave Hutton, P.E. July 14, 1993 Page 3 completed. With the extra work items completed to date, the total engineering fee has grown from$130,000 to $182,778 as of June 5, 1993. Based on one final revision to all documents upon resolution of the foregoing issues, we estimate the final fee will be $196,386. I will be happy to review this request for additional engineering fee further with you, other staff members, and the City Council as appropriate. Sincerely, Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.

Attachment ymb Shakopee Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan Additional Engineering Fee Request Summary The following shows a paraphrase of all work previously authorized on this project by the City Council in the left-hand column,with only additional work due to changes in scope identified in the right-hand column. The listing generally follows the format of the engineering contract dated October 15, 1991. Work Previously Authorized by City Council Extra Engineering Work Performed 1. Document existing conditions a, b. Correct and resolve discrepancies in data a. Automate sanitary sewer system map received; expand the data base to b. Create data file on physical data include MWCC systems so opportunities attributes of the sanitary sewer system and limitations could be better c. Determine average and peak flows for identified. each subdistrict 2. Update the 1982 infiltration/inflow (I/I) study f. Eight private sewer service meters needed analysis verification. a,b,d,e,g. Quantify wet weather I/I in the River District Trunk c. Televise the River District Trunk f. Field check four private industrial service meters 3. Review the MWCC's facility plan for lift One extra draft facility plan reviewed. station L-16 4. Determine future flows a. There is no industrial growth rate projection a. Review a developer's market study and in the Comprehensive Plan, so SEH the City's Comprehensive Plan regarding developed a non-residential land industrial growth rate consumption rate for the analysis. b. Estimate future flows based on the City's b. The study area was expanded because the projected growth and sewage generation Comprehensive Plan has a planning horizon rates of 2010, whereas City and MWCC sewers will c. Consider Rahr Malting providing their have a design life to 2040 or later; the own treatment plant projected location of growth beyond the year d. Consider an east district flow diversion 2010 is currently unknown, necessitating a to relieve L-16 large study area until planning beyond the year 2010 can be completed; several additional flow computations were necessary to calibrate with existing and allowable flows and land use changes. c. Rahr's flow needs to be accommodated in the City's system, causing additional diversions to be considered. d. Additional effort resulted in elimination of the need to construct an east district diversion, saving $150,000 in oversizing costs. Work Previously Authorized by City Council Extra Engineering Work Performed 5. Monitor Chaska Interceptor planning and Chaska Interceptor planning still not complete by incorporate their information into the MWCC. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan 6. Prepare a 20-year sanitary sewer expansion b-d. Larger study area resulted in more plan extensions; detailed grades had to be set a. Consider VIP diversions to verify ability to reroute flows as b-d. Develop interim and ultimate trunk desired. system and extensions e. Year 2040 MUSA needs to be determined to e-f. Prepare plan for 5-, 10-, and 20-year coincide with MWCC gravity interceptor MUSA expansions sizing, therefore, more area studied. 7. Coordinate work with City and regulatory The extended project schedule significantly agencies increased the number of meetings over the number budgeted. 8. Prepare an improvement schedule The expanded study area resulted in budget costs being developed for more extensions than originally planned for to assist with MUSA and annexation decisions. 9. Develop a Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer a. Tables 1 through 10 in the Comprehensive Plan document Plan needed to be revised to be consistent a. Prepare and present document with actual 1990 data on population, housing, b. Use format which can be inserted into employment, and sewage flow; detailed data the Comprehensive Plan generated during the process was added to c. All work in an automated format drawings; a means of projecting future land consumption for both residential and non- residential property was developed consistent with new growth projections as this information was not available in the Comprehensive Plan. 10. Prepare feasibility report on the South Scope of study expanded significantly to include: Shakopee Trunk Sewer many routing alternatives necessary to match the changing plans of the MWCC and Mn/DOT; the possibility of eliminating one existing and one future lift station; and the need for field surveys and detailed grade setting due to very tight elevation constraints. 0013F x 0 /7�� it; r r r r r r tx3 Z Vf �/ %A U' Vi U' VI VI S' W W W W H A o W 0 N r .D Z t'" 0• VI r 0 �° w o n rHHHHVN r H V r%o NOH .ro .ro x n NO I-' .o NO .0 .o .O V. .0 •o .o NO NO .o .o .0 .o PI .p .o NceVI VI .o .o .o NO .c .o V. w w w 9C Pq w w w w w w w w w w w o 0 \ 0000\\\ \ o O o 0000000 o O O O O O O O Pz 0 [I co O V V 0 V V V V V V V V V \\ \ 0 0 0 0\\\ \ \ r H H H H 0 0 N N N N N N N N N .0 CA H I-. r N N N N N N N N N N Cn 0 PO <0<n0' H <J></A <H<h <0-Cl) N 4.0 to in <n<.4 VI VI<n<n <n<n 'Cl) LA w r r 0 W 0' W W 0 0 C V VN N N</.1 0<n'Cl) <n'Cl) W W utN W W NN .O V OANNrN U3 L.3 4/D 40 .O .O FA N V A W w OO OD 0% O. .0•• .0.

Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Declaration of Surplus Vehicles DATE: July 21, 1993 Introduction City Council needs to declare certain vehicles/property as surplus in order to dispose of them. Background As part of the preparation for the fall Hennepin County auction, Council needs to declare various items surplus property as follows; 1. The city purchased an S10 Blazer to replace a Subaru which was cycled down to replace an 1987 Nova. Staff is recommending that the Nova be kept as a second pool/Engineering car. There is currently one pooled car for city hall. Recreation used to have their own car but now are sharing the pooled car. Engineering has hired an engineer who has occasional need for a vehicle. The use of the current pooled car is increasing. 2. The city purchased a 1.5 ton truck to replace the 1983 1 ton stake truck in the park division. Instead of selling the stake truck, the Public Works Director is recommending selling the 1974 van instead because the stake truck is more useful to the division. 3. The City purchased a dump truck to replace a 1982 dump truck. The Public Works Director is recommending selling the 1985 dump truck versus the 1982 truck because the 1982 has fewer miles and is in better condition. Aside from the older tandem truck, the 1985 is the next oldest after the 1982. 4. The City purchased a new squad car to replace a 1989 squad which was cycled down to the custodians to replace a 1987 squad which will be sold. 5. The City purchased a second new squad car to replace another 1989 squad which was cycled to PW to replace a 1985 LTD. Staff is recommending that this vehicle be retained to provide a car to the building inspector which is in line with the 1994 budget - capital equipment discussions. 6. The Fire Department will be requesting approval to replace the rescue boat as provided for in the 1993 budget. The old boat, motor and trailer will be sold. The City has requested 8 auction slots for the fall auction. SPDC has requested to utilize three of the slots. The above recommendation will utilize four with the final slot for the old sewer jetter chassis. Alternatives 1. Declare items surplus as recommended. 2. Modify proposed list of items to be declared surplus. 3. Do not sell items. Action Requested Move to declare the following items surplus property: 1974 Chev van #CPY354V317352 1985 Ford truck #1FDPF82K5FVA68473 1987 Chev Caprice #1G1BL5168HX200703 1976 Spartan trailer #761601709, boat and motor memo\auct93 CONSE1T MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorney DATE: July 29, 1993 RE: Sewer Construction and Maintenance Agreement BACKGROUND: Members of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community have asked the City to review and approve a Sewer Construction and Maintenance Agreement . I have reviewed the agreement, and it imposes no obligations on the City. Shakopee has the authority to provide sewer service, and receive the revenues from that activity, to all property in the City. The Community owns property in Shakopee (the old McKenna farm) , and wants Prior Lake to provide sewer service to that property, since Shakopee does not have sewer service in that area and does not plan to provide sewer service in that area for some time. This agreement is merely to obtain the City' s approval for Prior Lake to provide that sewer service . I have spoken with Dave Hutton, and the Public Works Department has no objection. ALTERNATIVES : i . Authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into the sewer construction and maintenance agreement . 2 . Do not authorize signing the agreement . 3 . Table and return the matter to staff for further information. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into the sewer construction and maintenance agreement . [2 9MEMO] 131 . SHAKOPEE FIRE DEPARTMENT 129 East First Avenue, Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 established 1876 TO: Shakopee City Council FROM: Shakopee Fire Departmant RE: Rescue Boat Replacement DATE: 7/26/93 Introduction: The Shakopee Fire Department has been on call for 25 + years for water rescue. The means of water rescue have changed dramatically. We now utilize divers instead of dragging for the victims, people who were once considered dead can now be revived. With the changing techniques and more equipment involved with these rescues a more versatile boat that handles more equipment and personnel is required. Background: The current boat is 25 years old and is a " fishing boat ". It cannot handle the weight of 2 divers, a victim, a driver, and the weight of the equipment. It is not suitable for diving and present day rescue techniques. The new rescue boat is a 1993 budgeted item of $9000.00. We have aquired 2 bids for the replacement of the current boat, We have selected the Zodiac Virage Mark II based on the excellent performance of this style of rescue boat which has been tested under real life conditions by other local fire departments with great success. Recommendation: The Shakopee Fire Department recommends the purchase of the Zodiac Virage Mark II with the equipment listed on the bid sheet for a total of $8449.00 plus tax. The listed equipment will make this rescue boat ready for service immediatly upon delivery.

Date fv/ 3 Registration No. 19133. JULY 1993 TABLE OF CONTENTS Description Page No. Introduction 1 Scope 1 Background 1 - 2 _ Proposed Improvements 2 - 4 Cost Estimate 4 - 6 Funding/Special Assessments 6 - 7 Conclusions 7 Appendix INTRODUCTION The City Council of Shakopee, Minnesota ordered the preparation of a feasibility report for the Downtown Streetscape Project, Phase II. SCOPE This report evaluates the feasibility of completing the Downtown Streetscape Project. The factors that are relevant to this evaluation are; existing street conditions, available parking, and historical impacts to the downtown area. In addition, proposed improvements are provided, cost estimates were compiled, and funding strategies outlined. BACKGROUND The Downtown Streetscape Phase II Project will encompass First Avenue from Holmes Street to Sommerville Street. This area is included in the original plat of Shakopee. The roadway in this section of First Street is currently 60 feet wide, with four lanes of traffic and two lanes of parallel parking. According to our records, 1st Avenue was last reconstructed in 1961. After construction of the Minibypass, four lanes of traffic will not be necessary, while additional parking would be desired. This has been the intention of the original streetscape project in surrounding blocks. The sidewalks along First Avenue are cracked and deteriorated past the point of repair. This makes access to downtown businesses and pedestrian movements difficult. The existing sanitary sewer in First Avenue is clay pipe which was installed in 1912. The pipe _ is deteriorated and does not meet current standards. The manholes are also sub-standard and in need of replacement. The existing watermain is original cast iron pipe which may need replacing. Shakopee Public Utilities has been contacted to make this determination, but for purposes of this report we will assume the watermain needs to be replaced. 1 The downtown area has a historical feel and look to it. The original streetscape projects in the neighboring streets were designed to enhance the historical nature of the downtown, and to act as a catalyst for future upgrading of existing building fronts in a similar historical venue. In 1987 and 1988, the City of Shakopee constructed Phase I of the Downtown Streetscape Project, which consisted of complete reconstruction of the downtown streets and utilities, including adding streetscape amenities such as brick paving, planters, benches, nodes and decorative lighting. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS A. Roadway In keeping with the earlier streetscape project, the roadway, curb and gutter and sidewalk would be removed and rebuilt in the more historical theme. Several options as to parking configurations, lane widths and node placement are available. The following three alternatives have been proposed. ALTERNATIVE 1. The first alternative is to provide angle parking along half of the block, with parallel parking across the street. This scheme would be reversed at midblock with angle parking becoming parallel, etc. Alternative 1 also allows for node placement at mid block to _ accommodate a smooth transition between parking types and allows placement of trees, benches and other amenities consistent with the earlier streetscape project. ALTERNATIVE 2. The second alternative is to provide angle parking along one side of the street and parallel parking on the other side for the entire length of the block. Optional nodes at midblock for the placement of streetscape items are the same as with alternative 1. ALTERNATIVE 3. Alternative 3 is to provide angle parking along both sides of the street for the entire length of the block. Nodes for streetscape items at midblock are optional. 2 Regardless of which alternative is chosen, it is recommended that the roadway be constructed to meet 10 ton specifications which would accommodate the truck traffic generated by local business. Sidewalks 10 feet wide are also recommended for each side of the street. B. Sanitary Sewer The existing sanitary sewer in First Avenue is 12 inch clay pipe. It is proposed to replace the clay pipe with 12 inch PVC pipe. Additional stubs may be required for future projects. C. Storm Sewer The existing storm sewer consists of crossings at Holmes Street, Lewis Street and Sommerville Street. It is recommended that all storm sewer within the project limits be replaced to bring the sewer up to current standards. D. Watermain The existing watermain runs along First Avenue, from Holmes Street to Sommerville Street. _ New 8 inch ductile iron pipe watermain is proposed. The new watermain is subject to concurrence by Shakopee Public Utilities, however, it has been the practice of Shakopee Public Utilities to replace utilities when the City reconstructs a roadway. E. Streetscape Items It is recommended that streetscape amenities such as brick paving, benches, decorative lighting, and planters be installed to match Phase I of the Downtown Renovation. The exact location of streetscape items will be determined during final design. F. Lewis Street- First Avenue to Levee Drive _ In addition to First Avenue, the project will include Lewis Street from First Avenue to Levee Drive. There are several options that may be selected for developing this area. The following alternatives have been proposed. 3 ALTERNATIVE 1. Leave Lewis Street open to traffic. This would involve selecting a street/parking alternative and reconstructing Lewis Street. Alternative 1 would provide additional access to the alley north of First Avenue, as well as additional parking. ALTERNATIVE 2. Vacate Lewis Street and sell the land for development. This option allows the City to add additional land to the tax roll, as well as creating new business opportunities in the downtown area. ALTERNATIVE 3. Abandon Lewis street and create a pedestrian mall/scenic park. This option would provide a focal point or view for people entering Shakopee via the new T.H. 169 bridge. Possible uses for the park include a statue, a decorative fountain or a bell tower for the old City Hall bell. The specific element that would serve as a focal point for this park would be determined by the City Council, Community Development Commission, Downtown Business Association, or other civic groups and is beyond the scope of this report. This report recommends Alternative 3. It is felt that a focal point in the downtown area would attract visitors to that area. But depending on the results of the architectural report ordered by the City Council, Alternative No. 2 may also be desirable. COST ESTIMATE A detailed cost estimate can be found in the Appendix. A summary of the project costs is as follows: FIRST AVENUE COST ESTIMATE A. Roadway $105,419.00 B. Sanitary Sewer 41,138.00 C. Storm Sewer 9,378.00 D. Watermain 30,774.00 E.

Alternative 3 Construction Total $ 41,698.50 Add 10% Contingency 4,169.85 Add 25% Engineering & Admin. 10,424.25 Alternative 3 Total $ 56,292.97 FUNDING / SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS The current Special Assessment Policy for the City of Shakopee determines the funding for this project. Per the Assessment Policy, street reconstruction is 25% assessable to the abutting property owners. When the assessment roll was compiled for the first phase of the Downtown Streetscape Project, a special formula was created for assessment calculation. This formula calculates 70% of the assessable costs on an adjusted front footage basis, and 30% on a square footage basis. This formula was adopted to account for the odd shape and size differences in the lots in the downtown area. A. ROADWAY FUNDING The roadway will be 25% assessable. The remaining 75% will come from Tax Increment Funding (TIF) accounts. First Avenue is currently a State Highway, and is expected to be turned back to the City after completion of the Minibypass Project. The State usually improves roads prior to turnback, therefore, the City may receive some funding from the State for the roadway construction. This funding would be applied to reducing the burden on TIF funds rather than reducing the assessable amount. B. STORM SEWER The storm sewer replacement costs are not assessable and will come form the Storm Drainage Fund. 6 C. SANITARY SEWER The sanitary sewer replacement costs are not assessable and will come from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. D. WATERMAIN The watermain replacement costs will be funded by Shakopee Public Utilities Commission (SPUC). E. STREETSCAPE ITEMS The streetscape items are not assessable and will be funded by Tax Increment Funding (TIF). F. SERVICE CONNECTIONS Sewer service connections will be 100% assessed to the benefitting property owned as needed. CONCLUSIONS The downtown area on First Avenue from Holmes Street to Sommerville Street will become a local street after construction of the Minibypass Project. As such, it will be the only area in the downtown that has not been improved with a streetscape type project. At a minimum, the street needs to be replaced to eliminate unneeded driving lanes and provide more parking. It is recommended that streetscape amenities be added to match earlier projects in the downtown area. This report concludes that reconstructing First Avenue is feasible and recommends the improvements as stated in this report. 7 APPENDIX Page No. Project Location 1 Street / Parking Alternative No. 1 2 Street / Parking Alternative No. 2 3 Street / Parking Alternative No. 3 4 Existing Sanitary Sewer 5 Existing Storm Sewer 6 Existing Watermain 7 First Avenue Cost Estimate 8 - 11 Lewis Street Cost Estimate 12 - 15 Assessment Area Map 16 Assessment Roll 17 - 20 �1 1J ry�tu� cc' as 1-1HH3SaNW I is JII LJ '.n H P\ -1 s ,�_ Q v ,_ ', '1S• NIA 3Ia1Nad T330--issi4 � d d l, NLDNNa 0it 13 S ♦ iS 0 tow -1- W !I I � ) LIP ___:..

BACKGROUND: On August 18, 1992 the City Council of Shakopee ordered the preparation of plans and specifications for the VIP Sewer Extension and plans and specifications were ordered for the Rahr Rahr Forcemain on October 6, 1992. The VIP Sewer Extension and Rahr Forcemain Projects are being combined to facilitate bidding to receive lower prices and economize the construction management. The project was also originally planned to include the Rahr service line (inverted siphon) which is being designed by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson (SEH). The consultant has informed City staff that the design is complete, and ready for bidding, but the appropriate agreements have not been executed with Rahr Malting covering the construction of a service line on private property. Rahr has been informed that in the absence of these agreements the service line project will be bid separately at a later date. It should be noted that the service line will not be needed until the Rahr Forcemain and VIP Sewer Extension Projects are complete. The VIP Sewer Extension will be installed in right-of-way which was already acquired for the Upper Valley Drainage Project. Since these two projects are utilizing the same right-of-way,they will have to be scheduled so that the contractors can complete their work without interfering with each other. The bid opening for the Upper Valley Drainage Project is set for July 30, 1993 and staff is planning to present the bids to the City Council on August 3, 1993. The Upper Valley Drainage contractor will require 4 to 6 weeks to prepare the site before the VIP contractor can begin work. This should allow Council an ample amount of time to accept bids and award the VIP contract before the site is ready. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 3839. 2. Deny Resolution No. 3839. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative No. 1. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Resolution No. 3839, A Resolution approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids for the VIP Interceptor Extension from County Road 79 to the West Corporate Limits, Project No. 1992-9 and the Rahr Malting Forcemain and Gravity Sewer from 3rd Avenue and Webster Street to County Road 15 and the VIP Interceptor Sewer, Project No. 1993-1 and move its adoption.

Attached is Cooperative Construction Agreement No. 70599 outlining the City' s cost participation in this project . This agreement was delivered to the City on August 3 , 1993 and therefore has not been reviewed by the City Attorney. If City Council desires to execute this agreement, the attached Resolution No.3841 authorizes that action. Per the estimated project costs, the State' s share of this project including an 8% Engineering fee and a $100, 000 contingency is $1,433 , 683 . 93 . On July 30, 1993 the sealed bids were received and publicly opened for this project . A total of 10 bids were received. The low bid was submitted by Ryan Contracting for a total amount of $2 , 088, 468 . 00 . The Engineer' s estimate for this project was approximately $2, 112, 820 . 00 . According to the agreement, the City of Shakopee cannot award the contract until MnDOT concurs on the award in writing. Staff has submitted a request to MnDOT for concurrence on the award and it is anticipated that this will be received by the City prior to the August 17, 1993 Council meeting. ALTERNATIVES: 1 .

REMARKS : Presently the only swimming pool regulation in Shakopee relates to fencing. Construction requirements, nuisance issues, and safety concerns are not addressed. In addition, there has been confusion because there is no definition of "swimming pool" . The Building Official has received numerous questions as to whether a small or medium size wading pool requires fencing. The existing code implies that all pools require fencing. The proposed new ordinance is based on ordinances from cities near Shakopee. It clarifies which items are regulated by providing a definition of pool . The fencing requirements are lowered from six feet to four, but tightened to prohibit chain link and other climbable fences. Various safety measures are added, such as prohibiting construction under or over utility lines, and within easements. Nuisances such as light shining off the property and draining pools onto public streets, are prohibited. These provisions are placed in their own Section, in order to allow people to find the swimming pool regulations more easily. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Ordinance No. 361 , an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 4, Construction Licensing, Permits and Regulations, Sec . 4 . 03 , Building Permits, by repealing paragraph D, Swimming Pools, of Subd. 1, Fence Construction Requirements, and adopting one new Section in lieu thereof, and move its adoption.

Since that was indeed the intention, I have revised the Definition to so indicate. That is the only change, and is reflected on the attached revised first page of the ordinance.

We at Murphy's Landing greatly appreciate the effort and interest shown in our problems. In spite of poor access to Shakopee due to flooding and construction, twenty seven enthusiastic people attended the meeting. As a result of the town meeting, a list of suggestions and observations was constructed. We would like to invite you to attend a follow up meeting that would look at specific solutions to the suggestions made. We will meet at 7:00 pm on the evening of Thursday, August 5 at the Town Hall on Murphy's Landing. Snacks will be available. Please park in the West Parking Lot. The Town Hall is on the corner of the square just past the Blacksmith Shop. Thank you for your interest in Murphy's Landing. We'll see you August 5. Sincerely, Rolland D. Pistulka, M. D.

MacFadzean contacted Maurice Stens and Rahr Malting in follow up thus reducing the director's contacts for money. 1972 Gifts were all from previous donors. The only repeat donor iniated by the fundraiser was Peavey Foundation. The HUD grant was initated by the director and aided by the fundraiser. 1973 The fundraiser made one new contact (Ober Foundation) and reworked the director's contacts. The director initated four new contacts and McFadzean received $ 3,000 from Peavey direct without the site's use of the money. 1974 No new contacts. The fundraiser felt that the directors should not be involved in raising money. 1975 The Fundraiser contacted the Catholic Council. M.Stans contacted Spiro Agnew and the Chapman Foundation. The director made several new contacts to match the HUD grant. 1976 McFadzean made 2 new contacts,through M.Stans. The director made 5 new contacts. 1977 No new contacts made by McFadzean. The director made three new contacts and kept contact with previous new accounts. 1978 McFadzean was discharged. The director's salary for the year was used to buy off his contract. M.Stans iniated the Grainger gift. The director reworked the previous contacts. 1979 The director recontacted the donors with a follow up. New fundraiser was engaged for$25,000 per year by the board. Several new contacts were made netting approximately $ 15,000 of new money. The director contacted previous donors the first part of year and donated $8,416 of her salary to meet the crunch of the grant finishing needs. A net payment of$ 8,056 was attained by allied business activity — reconstructionand consulting work off site by the assistant directors. 1980 The director iniated a fundraising effort with small gift givers generating approximately $ 32,000. The assistant director donated $ 2,000 of salary to match the Peavey grant. The fundraiser recontacted some previous donors and made 15 new contacts generating approximately $ 37,000 in new funds.

Co. November 16, 1988, Mr. Gross and I attended a MVRP regular Board Meeting as guests and participants. After much discussion, the following points were noted: 1. Attendance has risen each year from 15, 101 in 1981 to 43,267 in 1988. 2. Income barely covers expenses without taking out loans. 3. Paid employees which are minimum in number are doing a superior job of what they are expected to do but have no basic fringe benefits, such as health insurance. 4. Increased donations and grants must be explored and sought now. 5. Board is doing management, not governing. 6. Present director is working at maximum that is physically and mentally possible, such as doing the entire accounting system, marketing, public relations, program, managing the site, coordinating the volunteers, responsible for getting donations and writing grants and taking care of personnel. 7. This site has become a one-half million dollar operation which is trying to continue in a proper mode with a few people trying to do everything. 8. Cash is a premium. 9. No long-term contract committment. 10. Scott County Historical Society and MVRP are a non-supportive mode. Must work together as a solid force. 11. MVRP must continue its mission of historical preservation and education. The comprehensive plan of Murphy's Landing must be a guide. 12. MVRP is more than a local communicty project but is regional, state and national in scope. 13. Strong local support from individuals, City of Shakopee and County of Scott is needed to obtain the area wide support that is so vitally needed. Box 354 • Shakopee, MN 55379 `� Dennis Kraft Page 2 November 23, 1988 The MVRP Board has asked Mr. Loren Gross and me to join them. The Scott County Historical Society, with much discussion, agrees that the two organizations must present themselves as a strong unified force. It has been decided by the Scott County Historical Society Board that Mr. Loren Gross and I would be allowed to join the MVRP Board to give the solid joint effort that is needed to enhance the further development of the MVRP into the 21st Century under the following conditions. 1. Need a long-range operating contract from the City of Shakopee for 5 years. This denotes stability and is needed for any financial donations and grants that are so desperately needed. 2. Need City of Shakopee financial support of at least $50,000 per year for at least 3 years, preferably 5 years. This would allow the MVRP to obtain the full-time experienced museum director, the secretarial and accounting support staff that is needed for the site to move forward. This also shows strong local financial support. 3. The independent financial audit be done that has been promised by the city, at city expense. 4. The inventory of the artifacts should be arranged for and in process as promised by the city. 5. A search must be started for the hiring of a formally trained and ex- perienced museum director immediately. 6. The board must assume policy making duties and delegating management to staff. The above conditions are needed to show the region that the local people and organizations are strongly supportive of this operation. Without it, no dona- tions or grants will be forthcoming. How will the City of Shakopee benefit? 1. A beautiful opportunity to educate the public to the historical culture of our forefathers of this area. 2. These same people that enjoy the site use the restaurants, motels, shops and service stations. 3. It adds to the beautification of the city, enhances already what the city has so admirably started and hope it will continue. 4. It will attract more people to the downtown area for the benefit of the tax paying merchants. 5. It will enhance the marketing of the area. 6. It will reveal the progressiveness of the cities planning into the 21st Century. If the above conditions are accepted, we will be happy to become members of the MVRP Board and become actively involved in obtaining the museum director and the supportive staff and accounting system that are so desperately needed. We must work together as a team, with a unified goal, not as independent indi- viduals groping around in the dark. Dennis Kraft Page 3 November 23, 1988 We will be waiting for your reply and will be available for any further discussions. Ws encourage immediate attention be given this matter, for us to implement the program as of January 1, 1989. Thank you for your time and your future support. Sincerely, R. D.

C� \/' A Professional Corporation of Certified Public Accountants Jruary 12, 1989 • City Council Shakopee, Minnesota Dear Council Members: Na have recently completed our audit of the financial statements (cash basis) of ii.nnesota Valley Restoration Project, Inc. (Murphy's Landing) for the year ended x bruary 29 , 1988 and the six months ended August 31 , 1988 and have issued our Pport thereon dated January 11 , 1989. During the course of our audit, we noted certain conditions related to the accounting organization and procedures and other matters which we are bringing to your attention in this letter. Accounting Organization and Procedures At present, all transactions are manually recorde , classified and ed and summacontrized cinto a reporting format. The procedures used are adequate >saceipts and disbursements , but are deficient in the following areas when ' considered from a management point of view: 1 . Except for the recording of receipts and disbursements and reconciliation of the bank account, all accounting routines are performed by the Director. The result is that either the time available to the Director for management and promotional activities is reduced or she is required to work additional hours , resulting in a reduction in the Director's effectiveness. 2. The present system is inadequate as a management tool in the planning, operation and control of the organization. Although revenue is generally recorded and reported by function, expenses are recorded by object only with no provision for a functional breakdown. As a result, management does not have the information necessary to measure the financial performance of the various programs or functions and to budget future operations. We believe it is essential to relieve the Director of the accounting routines she is presently performing in the interest of increased management effectiveness and internal control. Because of the diversity of the Corporation's activities, it is essential that revenue and expenses be recorded under, or allocated to, the proper function. /0 1433 UTICA AVENUE SOUTH, SUITE 175 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 5541 6 612/546-2566 • • City Council Shakopee, Minnesota January 12, 1989 • Page 2I. ..4, To accomplish these objectives , we recommend that: • • 1 . A person with the proper training and experience be hired to perform/manage the accounting function. Since the position is not full—time, at least during parts of the year, perhaps it could be combined with the "business manager" or "operations manager" position which we understand has been identified as a need. 2. A properly designed accounting system be established providing routines and forms for reporting transactions and a chart of accounts for recording them. Computerization is an option that should be explored as this would facilitate the processing and reporting of information in the required detail as well as in a timely manner. However, we would recommend that this step follow the hiring of the person to be responsible for accounting. This would allow him/her to participate in the computer selection process and provide him/her with an incentive to make it work. Accounting Records and Financial Reportin7 The accounting records and financial reports should be converted from the cash basis to the accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenue is recognized when it is earned rather than when received and expenses are recognized when they are incurred rather than when paid. The effect of the change on operations would probably be minimal because of the nature of the operations, but the effect on financial position would be significant since property and equipment would be included in the financial statements as well as loan obligations and other liabilities. Including property and equipment in the financial statements would necessarily require establishing detail records of these items. This should be done in any case for management and internal control purposes. The records should include, for each item, the description, location, date of acquisition, purchase cost or appraised value if donated. The records should distinguish between property and equipment used in operations and historical treasures. This is important because Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SPAS) Nos. 93 and 99 require that, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1 , 1990 , non—profit organizations depreciate long—lived tangible assets. Historical treasures , defined in SFAS 93 below, are exempt from this requirement. "---- (an) historical treasure shall be deemed to have that characteristic only if verifiable evidence exists demonstrating that (a) the asset individually has cultural, aesthetic, or historical value that is worth preserving perpetually and (b) the holder has the technological and financial ability to protect and preserve essentially undiminished the service potential of the asset and is doing that."

Conventional wisdom within the field of public history would indicate that we should be spending approximately $80,000. We have been reasonably successful at attracting free publicity. E. Problems 1. Murphy's Landing has never shown a profit. In 1992, we have increased revenue and decreased expenses, still we are left with a massive problem in making this business work. The mix of income is the major part of the problem, we currently show more than 50% of our income is admissions or admissions related monies. This should be in the area of 25 to 30%. There is no endowment or any cash reserves. 2. Plumbing is out of date and in bad repair. Will cost an estimated $24,000 to bring it to code. 3. Membership is low for a historical organization in a major metropolitan area. 4. Parking continues to be a major headache. 5. Need a restructuring of creature comforts, we could not take a major increase in admissions at this time. 6. Admissions should be much higher for a site of this quality in an areas such this. 7 Community participation and sense of ownership of the site is low. 8. A number of the historic buildings are in need of major repairs. 9. Need additional volunteers. F. Grants 1. Requested 13 Grants for a total of $195,900 2. Achieved 4 Grants for a total of$44,000 3.

In a Deed dated February 3, 1969, the City of Shakopee conveyed the Murphy's Landing property to the Scott County Historical Society, Inc. This conveyance was subject to nine limitations. First, the site was to be used for a Historical Society Park and Museum at the sole expense of the Historical Society. Second, the Historical Society agreed to keep the property free of any and all liens. T ird- the Historical Society agreed to hold the City free and harmless from any and all claims arising out of the use and development of the site. _Fourth, the Society must maintain a minimum, active, paid-up membership roster of 100 Scott County residents. Fifth the Society must file annual financial statements with .the City. Sixth, the Society must hold at least two meetings per year and annually elect officers and file names of officers with the City. Seventh, the City reserves the right to negotiate with the state for location of bridge, highway, and interchange. _IA.11111L, that if the Society fails to attract anticipated financial support or fails to comply with any conditions, the site, with all improvements, shall revert to Shakopee. Finally, the Historical Society waives any claims it may have regarding sewage disposal operations. �nnesota Valley Restoration Protect is not in the chain of title. There are copies of Deeds from the Historical Society to the Minnesota Valley Restoration Project, Inc. , in our files; but these Deeds were clearly never filed with the Recorder's Office and possibly never even signed. It appears that the Historical Society and MVRP had officers in common, including Ronald Weiler and F. Weiland. There are also two Leases in the chain of title, dated June 1972, between Scott County and the Historical Society. The Scott County Historical Society currently owns the property. 7 Ms. Margaret McFarland Page 2 August 7, 1984 If you would like any more information, please contact me. Thank you.

Many problems 1 and management arose. In 1985 Marg Henderson who was president of the Board of the MVRP became its director; until Nov 1991 when she retired. During this time, after much discussion and controversy over management between the SCHS and MVRP board, the City of Shakopee reclaimed the ownership and control on January 1, 1989. A management agreement was signed by both the MVRP and SCHS that the present management would continue with two members of the SCHS Board as voting members of the MVRP. This was signed March 21, 1989. The following conditions were (a) 5 year contract expiring •Q;10 1994 (b) no major changes in the operation of Murphy's Landing without first gett _ tte authorization from the city(c) Immediately start a search for a qualified museum professional (d) Complete inventory of artifacts.

(i) annual independent audit to • be financed by the MVRP in endeavoring to ensure the sound operation of Murphy's Landing. (j) City of Shakopee will cooperate with MVRP in endeavoring to ensure the sound operation of Murphy's Landing. In March 1992 after a National Search was done. Mr. Gerry Barker was employed as Director of MVRP. The same problems that plagued the early history of MVRP still are present today. See letter to Mr. Dennis Kraft dated November 23, 1988 (#5). Total money given from 1968 thru 1978 is $1,645,204.54. Largest contributions during this time, p Federal grants $504, 832; State $105,000; County of Scott $95,047.63; City of Shakopee $0. Minn water shed District $44,924; DNR $117,000; Stan Foundation $292,437.00; Wilkie Brothers Foundations $119,680; the remainder were from other private donations as you can see from the attached "Summary of Gifts to the MVRP" (#4). total over all Scott County contribution to date is a proximately $447,000.00; Stans Foundation approximate total is $900,000.00; City of Shakopee approximate total is $100,000.00. This is an 88 acre site of which I/2 is in flood e.'0-r-i-The site is 48 houses are the many Indian mounds (buildings) ranging from the time of 1840 to 1890. Also present dating back to 1800 B.C. All of this together makes a very unique site. A master plan was formulated in 1971 by Scruggs and Hammond, Inc. It was revised in 1976. This is still adequate today and is followed; the goal of this site is education and interpretation of history using the living history techniques. This is being done well. The problems today are the same today as they were in the past. Large site, many • buildings, inadequate financial support and not enough staff to carry out the function of management of the business and the activities of the site. Critiques of the site done in 1985 pointed this out very clearly. In the past, because of lack personnel and of funds MVRP tried to find a director that had all the qualifications so as to reduce the required staff. With the staff that we can now afford it is impossible to operate this site in a functional manner. Murphy's Landing is a large site that has attempted to be run like a small one. It does not work. Since March of 1992, our present Director, Gerry Barker, a specialist in living history, is on board, he is program oriented, has a strong educational background, grant writing experience, has public relations capabilities, but because of lack of time and personnel, his administrative capabilities have been hindered. 2 The present administrative staff has been reduced to four people from seven in order to economize. These are the Director, Assistant Director, a Curator and a Secretary. This is without a bookkeeper of any sort, these responsibilities are being farmed out to Friend and Furrie. Maintenance is currently three paid staff. Volunteer help has absorbed the reductions in this department. The interpretive staff varies from thirteen on weekdays to seventeen on weekends. We also normally employ from one to three ticket office persons on any given day. These are all paid positions, but pay is lower than comparable sites and there are no benefits offered. There are presently about 200 active volunteers. These people supplement the paid staff and on weekends may make up more than half the staff of the site. A number of events are entirely manned by volunteers. The membership at the Landing is currently 300 people. Presently there are nine Members of the Board of Trustees. There should be fifteen members on this board. In the past year Murphy's Landing has sought thirteen grants. This is a time consuming process, it is estimated that it takes three months to a year to develop a grant. See item#12. Current activities at Murphy's Landing are as follows: 1. Education through living history techniques. 2. School and bus tours. 3. Immersion weekends. 4. Heritage Dinners. 5. Preservation and teaching of historic crafts. 6. Internships. 7. Construction of a sod farmstead. 8. Restoration of rolling stock. 9. Weddings. 10. Photo shoots. 11. Corporate picnics. 12. Restaurant. 13. Weekend activities (#13). 14. Preservation and study of endangered species. 15. History camps grades K through 6. Problems at Murphy's Landing have been consistent throughout its existence. In 1993 these have been exacerbated by the floods and their effect on admissions. These problems may be summarized as follows: 1. Expenses exceed income 2. Admission revenues cannot support the site alone 3. Inadequate local support 4. No large foundation support 5. No large grants 6. $80,000 debt of which $35,000 is Federal withholding taxes 3 Viljd\C 7. Inadequate plumbing a sewer system with an estimated cost of$26,000 to repair the lift station. Presently this stat' n is being pumped at a cost of$95 per day. 8. Electrical transformers not up to code 9. Need of an Office Manager Grant writing has been difficult because we cannot point to adequate local support. Museum is run too much like a for profit organization. The Landing has operated to a deficit every year. ,�Q Z 5 bid Short term needs: Immediate cash to cover the $80,000 debt, $26,000 sewer repair, electrical transformer and services of an Office Business Manager Long e 25% of income from continuous local support 50% income from Grants and Foundation support - 25% income from Admissions - U�bbi0- aAvow* Present activities to provide for these needs include: 1. Contacting local corporations to recruit support (includes Mdwaketon Community). 2. Conducting town meetings with leaders of surrounding communities to generate local support. 3. Forming committees that will address specific issues such as: Membership, Volunteers, Program Development /Foundation Support, Marketing/Advertising and PR, Fund Raising, Grant Writing, Local Service Organizations Support, New and more active Board Members 4. Increasing marketing activity: Approaching school districts, advertising to tour groups and tourist industry, working with the Office of Tourism on out of State and overseas advertising. Options available today are as follows: 1. Business as before. 2. Close the site September 15, 1993. 3. New Management. 4. Financial support of the present management to allow present ideas to take effect. Suggested ways that the City of Shakopee could help: 1. Give an outright grant of$80 to 100,000. 2. Give access to low interest loans. ro 3. Fund a position for highly needed skills such as an office manager, program development person, or marketing/advertising person. 4. Fund the repair, maintenance and up-grade of the sewage system. 5. Fund the garbage and trash pick-up. 6. Fund the salary for an additional maintenance person. 7. Fund the annual audit. 8. Fund the utility bills. 9. Fund a yearly grant to provide economic stability, $30,000 to $50,000 per year. 4 10. Fund the premium on the required liability and comprehensive insurance on structures, contents and artifacts. 11. Fund the insurance premiums for the health insurance for the staff. My recommendation would be option number 4 because Murphy's Landing is unique. It has the potential for being an outstanding site. It needs the appropriate business or office management person, program development committee, adequate local support, marketing and advertising and money for adequate maintenance of the valuable old buildings, and to expand the Educational programs and fund raising for long range survival. Approximately 2 million dollars have been spent on the site since its inception. It would be a pity and great loss if the Landing were allowed to close. In 1988 In my letter(#5) I listed six benefits to the City of Shakopee. I feel these are as valid today as when I wrote them. These are: 1. A beautiful opportunity to educate the public to the historical culture of our forefathers of this area. 2. These same people that enjoy the site use the restaurants, motels shops and service stations. 3. It adds to the beautification of the city, enhances already what the city has so admirably started and hope it will continue. 4. It will attract more people to the downtown area for the benefit of the tax paying merchants. 5. It will enhance the marketing of the area. 6. It will reveal the progressiveness of the city's planning into the 21st century. Thank you for your time olland D. Pistu a, M.D. Vice President Enclosures: " See Index 5 6.

Shakopee, MN 55379 We have examined the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities arising from cash transactions of the Minnesota Valley Restoration Project, Inc. (Murphy's Landing) as of February 28, 1993 and the related statement of revenue collected and expenses paid for the twelve months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities arising from cash transactions of the Minnesota Valley Restoration Project, Inc.

Operations - Minnesota Valley Restoration Project, Inc. operates Historic Murphy's Landing, a living history museum presenting the Minnesota River Valley from 1840 to 1890. The buildings have been moved onto the site from surrounding areas and costumed interpreters help the visitor visualize the daily lives of the early immigrant settlers. B. Basis of Accounting - The Corporation's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the modified cash basis of accounting; consequently, revenues are recognized when received rather than when earned, and certain expenses and purchases of assets are recognized when cash is disbursed rather than when the obligation is incurred, except for sales and payroll taxes and deposits which are recognized currently as liabilities. Note 2 - Cash Cash consists of funds on hand and on deposit in savings accounts. Note 3 - Book Overdraft The Book overdraft represents checks written in February 1993 and earlier, but released to payees in March 1993 . March deposits were used to cover such checks. Note 4 - Penalties In addition to unpaid payroll taxes at February 28, 1993 estimated to be approximately $31, 118, the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Minnesota have assessed corresponding penalties and interest totaling approximately $11, 371 as of June 21, 1993 .

There is $20,000 budgeted for marketing in 1993,we spent about the same in 1992 which is up from $6,983 in 1991. Conventional wisdom within the field of public history would indicate that we should be spending approximately $80,000. We have been reasonably successful at attracting free publicity. D. Problems 1. Murphy's Landing has never shown a profit. In 1992, we have increased revenue and decreased expenses, still we are left with a massive problem in making this business work. The mix of income is the major part of the problem, we currently show more than 50% of our income is admissions or admissions related monies. This should be in the area of 25 to 30%. There is no endowment or any cash reserves. 2. Plumbing is out of date and in bad repair. Will cost an estimated$24,000 to bring it to code. 3. Membership is low for a historical organization in a major metropolitan area. 4. Parking continues to be a major headache. 5. Need a restructuring of creature comforts, we could not take a major increase in admissions at this time. 6. Admissions should be much higher for a site of this quality in an areas such this. 7 Community participation and sense of ownership of the site is low. 8. A number of the historic buildings are in need of major repairs. 9. Need additional volunteers. E. Grants 1. Requested 13 Grants for a total of $195,900 2. Achieved 4 Grants for a total of$44,000 3.

On Using Nature as a Text "To my astonishment:'Henry David Thoreau reports By Paul Gruchow in Walden, "I was informed on leaving college that I had studied navigation! — why if I had taken one turn down the harbor I should have known more about it." In one pithy sentence he characteristically cuts to the heart of a problem. Education suffers because we are so frequent- ~ ly taught about things, and so seldom encouraged to learn from them. I have taught Thoreau many times, but only once pro- ductively. As it happened. the success came on the occa- sion when I took his own advice about teaching. Walden, in particular, is a fiendishly difficult text. A substantial library could be made of the nonsense that has Na been written about it by sophisticated and studious readers. In recent days I have noticed one accomplished writer asserting that Thoreau hated farmers,and another declaring that he didn't write about nature!Thoreau was an explorer, not a systematist. He reveled in paradox and couldn't resist a pun.The playfulness of his method belies 400 the sternness of his program. His ideas developed as he / = carried his book through a long succession of drafts, and Paul Gruchow is a Northfield.Minnesota writerhe did not always cover his intellectual tracks. The book His latest book is Travels in Canoe Country layers metaphor upon metaphor. It is robustly multicul- tural. It is as sprawling and messy as life itself. For literalists and for masters of consistency it is utterly confounding. Like all great texts, it seems to say whatever you want it to say. This does not mean that it has no discernable intention:that is the elementary fallacy in much contem- porary criticism.

Behind Lynn to the left is Prague's ancient Jewish Cemetery. In the spring of 1989 Saint Cloud State Univeristy initiated a workshop titled Literature and Issues of the Holocaust. The course began with two weeks of intense daily sessions led by prominent Holocaust scholars in which Minnesota students studied the Holocaust as a watershed event in this century. The workshop was followed by an on site examina- tion of places both in Germany and Poland where Nazi ideology was most massively implemented. The course deeply involves both students and faculty in issues which, even fifty years after the event, we wish to avoid confronting, and which, at the same time, defy our most earnest desire to understand. Students are relentlessly probing and courageous as they undertake this work, for it is not an easy study. The in- tellectual and ideological issues cross all national borders. Frequently students have had relatives fighting with both allied and axis forces. They soon realize that there are no simple explanations and that we are all inextricably bound to one another's welfare. When workshop participants were asked at Auschwitz why they had made such a serious commitment to Holocaust studies, since it seemed apparent to those asking the question that none of our group were Jews, the directness and simplicity of the student's reply revealed the power of the subject matter: "We study because we are human beings:' ' f_a , # >" The Mountain of Light ; We were 125 miles from Warsaw, 18 on our way to Auschwitz 7it 4F" P A i k 12 *-- and =, Q ' I did not want to stop at41111111r- '� N.

In all cases the narratives will be the candid outpourings of these Americans, 38 along the lines exemplified by Gary Cavender (Shugida) in "Memories of war with the U.S.A:' as published in Currents:A Minnesota Valley Review, Vol. II. No. 3, 1992. The project director for the grant is Currents' publisher, Margaret MacFarlane.It is designed to run for two years beginning now and continuing until the end of December, 1994 when the series about and by Native Americans in the Minnesota River Valley is expected to conclude. The editor, publisher and Scott County Historical Board of Directors express their appreciation to the Minnesota Humanities Commission for its support.

Rahr Malting Company Gift Currents received a most generous gift of$5.000 from Rahr Malting Co.This is the second year Rahr has assisted us in this effort. We are encouraged by the fact that other entities are following their example, some in much smaller ways, but fitting their individual abilities, and demonstrating their belief in Currents'worth. This is the special value that comes along when a local industrial concern the size of Rahr takes note and assists an effort the size of Currents. We thank them. The Stans Foundation Acquaintance Gift "I'he Stans Foundation gave Currents a gift of 50 subscriptions to libraries and 25 to hospitals in the Minnesota Valley to help acquaint the region with the publication. Two have already extended their subscriptions beyond the gift period. This introduction of Currents itself is the very best way to get to know the publication. Again, our thanks. One by One. . . . Individaul efforts to assist Currents'growth arrive through the mail and the phone and are most appreciated. Offers to take a picture of an author we need, or to cover an event several miles away is an enormous help to a small staff. Currents' family has many photographers, and each is greatly appreciated. Subscriptions are Currents'life blood. Our list has been growing steadily since our first issue. Most rewarding of all,renewals have also arrived in an even flow.We seldom lose a subscriber. Currents must be finding its"place" and doing its "job" or it could not keep your respect.
