MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL -
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorney
DATE : February 28, 1996
RE : Indian Matters
Attached is a copy of a Briefing Paper prepared by Don Baur of
Perkins Coie . As you will recall, Perkins Coie is handling matters
relating to Indian land for the City with the federal Congress .
This briefing paper does a nice job of summarizing the issues and
the need for continuing involvement . I thought you might find it
interesting.
For your information, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community
recently requested information from our Building Official regarding
whether there was contamination on a certain 80-acre parcel of land
which they do not now own. The usual reason for requesting
information relating to contamination is because someone intends to
acquire the land. The City' s position in the past has been that
the Tribe is welcome to own any land they choose, but we are
extremely concerned about any land which is or may be placed into
trust status and made tax- and regulation-exempt .
This is for your information. If you have any questions about
it, please let me know.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA
BRIEFING PAPER
SHAKOPEE MDEWAKANTON SIOUX
TRUST ACQUISITION REQUEST
BACKGROUND
The Tribe's Request: On May 1, 1995, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux
Community submitted a request to the Secretary of the Interior to take into trust on
behalf of the Tribe 593 acres of land located within the City of Shakopee, Minnesota.
The land is adjacent to the Tribe's existing 750 acre reservation, located in the nearby
town of Prior Lake. On its existing reservation, the Tribe owns and operates the
highly successful Mystic Lake casino and bingo facilities. The Mystic Lake gaming
operations have generated very substantial revenues for this 150-member Tribe.
Although the Tribe has not released information about its profits, it is estimated that
the casino grossed $500 million in 1993, with a profit margin of nearly 50%. In 1993,
each member of the Tribe received a payment of about $400,000. In 1994, each
member was paid $500,000 out of the Tribe's casino profits.
As a result of the success of the Mystic Lake casino, the Tribe has virtually
unlimited financial resources with which to purchase land. While owned in fee, that
land is subject to taxation and environmental and regulatory control like any other
private property. However, once the land is taken into trust it becomes exempt from
state and local taxation and regulation. As a result, Tribal trust land can be developed
without regard to zoning requirements, building codes, state and local environmental
requirements, and public health and safety standards. In addition, once the land is
developed the Tribe is exempt from paying state and local taxes on the property
regardless of how extensive the development or substantial the impacts. Thus, the tax
base is diminished at the same time burdens on municipal government are growing as
a direct result of the development of the trust property.
In the case of the Tribe's request, the 593 acres are currently used for
agriculture, as the area is currently zoned. The surrounding area is also zoned for
agriculture or as "rural residential." The Tribe, however, plans to develop this land
for "institutional, commercial, and residential purposes." Although the Tribe has
refused to release any details about its plans, the City has learned that the predominant
use will be for light industrial development. All of the Tribe's proposed development
is dramatically at odds with Shakopee's existing zoning and long-term land use plans.
[24044-0001/DA960390.011] 2/9/96
The Tribe's development will also have significant adverse environmental
impacts. The land is in the vicinity of several highly valuable and protected wetlands
and water courses. The Tribe's development will deplete the water supply for these
valuable resources, with resulting impacts on endangered and other sensitive species.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency have expressed strong concern about these impacts. Other adverse
environmental impacts will include increased water, air, and noise pollution.
The BIA Decisionmaking Process: The Bureau of Indian Affairs ("BIA")
currently has the Tribe's request under review. In response to requests by the City,
BIA conducted a public review period. The City of Shakopee, Scott County, and the
Governor's Office all have opposed trust status. Overall public opinion is also
strongly opposed.
The City has taken the position that a full environmental impact statement
("EIS") must be prepared to analyze the consequences of a trust decision that removes
this land from state and local controls. BIA has announced that an environmental
assessment ("EA"), to be prepared by the Tribe, will be issued for public review to
determine the need for an EIS. This EA has not been released.
The City has offered to negotiate with the Tribe, but the Tribe has refused to
even meet to discuss its trust request or the City's concerns. Although the Tribe's
request contains virtually no information on compliance with the BIA regulatory
criteria for a trust acquisition, BIA has refused to ask for more information, and the
Tribe will not volunteer such information.
The City was forced to file a lawsuit to ensure that BIA would not make a
quick decision and transfer the land into trust before the City could oppose such
action in court. BIA takes the position that once title is executed to transfer the land
into trust, the decision is immune from judicial review.
The South Dakota Court of Appeals Decision: On November 7, 1995, the
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision in South Dakota v. United States
Department of the Interior. In that case, the Court ruled that a trust acquisition
request granted by BIA was invalid because the legal authority used to make that
decision, section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 265 ("IRA"), was an
unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority. The Court reached this result, in
part, because BIA argued it had complete discretion under section 5 to rule on a
Tribe's request and that no party could challenge this result in court. On February 2,
1996, the Eighth Circuit rejected BIA's request for rehearing on the decision.
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux trust acquisition request was submitted to
BIA under section 5 of the IRA. Because Minnesota is in the Eighth Circuit, the
[21044-0001/DA960390.011] -2- 2/9/96
South Dakota decision is binding on BIA. Unless reversed by the Supreme Court or
amended by Congress, land cannot be taken into trust in states within the Eighth
Circuit pursuant to section S.
•
In response to the City's November 16 request, BIA has informally stated that it
will suspend its review of the Tribe's request until all litigation appeal options have
been completed. Although the Department of the Interior Field Solicitor has advised
BIA to suspend all trust acquisition requests in Minnesota, the City has not received a
formal response to its November 16 letter. BIA must decide by May 2 whether it will
seek Supreme Court review.
REQUESTED ACTION
As a result of the Eighth Circuit decision, it is unlikely that BIA will grant the
Tribe's request until the litigation is resolved. However, BIA has never confirmed in
writing or in any formal way that it is not continuing to process the Tribe's request.
As a result, the City is uncertain whether it needs to continue gathering data and
monitoring the record to respond to the Tribe's request. This uncertainty is causing
concern that the City may need to incur additional expense and administrative burdens
to respond to the Tribe's request even though BIA's legal authority to consider the
request has been invalidated. BIA therefore should be asked to answer the City's
November 16 letter and clarify for the record precisely how it intends to handle the
Tribe's currently pending request.
In addition, it is likely that the Executive Branch will seek legislation to
overturn the Eighth Circuit's decision if a Supreme Court appeal is not requested or if
the decision is affirmed. The timing of such legislative action is uncertain and is
linked to whatever BIA decides to do about seeking Supreme Court review. It is clear,
however, that the trust acquisition process is severely flawed and needs to be fixed by
Congress. Any new trust acquisition authority must require that: 1) equal
consideration be given to the interests of local governments; 2) tribes demonstrate in
detail their legitimate need for trust land; 3) trust status be denied to lands purchased
with gaming revenues that will be used for profit-generating purposes; 4) full public
review, environmental analysis, and consultation with, and concurrence of, state and
local governments be obtained; and 5) trust acquisition decisions be made fully
reviewable in court.
All legislative developments on this issue must be carefully monitored. The
interests of the City of Shakopee and similarly situated municipal governments
elsewhere in Minnesota and throughout the country will require powerful
representation before Congress if trust acquisition legislation is introduced.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Waste Abatement Grant Application(Non Agenda Informational)
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
For the past 11 years the City of Shakopee has sponsored an Annual Clean-up Program. The
program has generally been held during the first week in May. Over the past 11 years, the City
has received grant funding from Scott County to offset costs associated with the clean-up
program. The clean-up program allows Shakopee residents to dispose of recyclable materials and
junk at a centralized drop-off location. (Public Works Garage) Gate fees are charged to residents
who choose to participate in the program. The combination of grant funds and gate fees have
typically more than off set program costs.
Staff has submitted a grant application to Scott County to conduct the program again this year. If
the City is successful in receiving the grant, Council action will be necessary to authorize the
appropriate City officials to execute the grant agreement. Staff expects to hear from Scott
County within the next three weeks with respect to our grant application.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Fire Station Siting Update (Non-Agenda Informational)
DATE: March 5, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
On February 6, 1996 the Shakopee City Council directed the appropriate City officials to continue
evaluating two sites as possible fire station locations. Staff has ordered the appraisal for the
Hauer property located on Vierling Drive. Staff has also had several meetings with
representatives from Canterbury Park and Valley Green Business Park regarding the economic
development project and possible fire station site located adjacent to County Road 16 and
immediately South of Canterbury Park. The Public Works Director has also been evaluating the
future needs of the Public Works Department in terms of outdoor storage as they relate to these
two sites and our current public works compound.
It is anticipated that the appraisal for the Hauer property will be complete around March 22nd.
Between now and that time staff will continue to explore the dynamics of the economic
development concept for the Valley Green parcel.
Staff would like to propose that a worksession be scheduled for early April to present the findings
of our research. On the March 19, 1996 City Council agenda staff will list possible worksession
dates for the purpose of discussing the fire station siting process in greater detail.
MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Seasonal Building Inspector Position(Non-agenda Informational)
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The 1996 Budget includes funding in the Building Division to hire one additional full time building
technician beginning in April. At this time, staff is proceeding to fill a seasonal building inspector
position rather than the budgeted full-time Building Technician position.
BACKGROUND:
Activity in the building department has been on the rise over the past three years. With the
completion of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge and the southerly by-pass, we expect to see
significant growth in building activity. In addition to expected growth, the State of Minnesota has
adopted new regulations for septic tank inspections. These regulations will place an additional
workload on our building department staff. Attached is a memo from the Building Official
outlining the need for additional staffing in the Building Department.
For the past two years, the City has been able to get by with seasonal staffing in the building
department. We are fortunate that the individual that we have utilized in the past is again
available this year. Section 8 Subd. I of the City's Personnel Policy allows previous temporary
employees to be rehired within two years without use of an open application process. Staff will
proceed to rehire Ms. Julie Hagen to fill the seasonal building inspection position at this time.
Proceeding with this approach will allow us to save advertising costs and will provide additional
cost savings since we will delay filling the permanent position.
Staff fully expects that we will have to take action to fill the new full-time building technician
position by mid May or early June. Staff will keep City Council appraised of the activity in the
building department over the course of the next three months. In order to fill the full time
permanent position, Council action will be necessary.
MEMO TO: Barry Stock
Assistant City Administrator
FROM: Fulton Schleisman
Building Official
RE: Building Department Staffing
DATE: March 4, 1996
As a follow up to the cover memo with the Building Department
Year End Report and your recent response regarding additional
staffing, please note the following:
The volume, scope and complexity of permits and other duties
is now greater than a 3 person department can handle.
1. Therefore, a number of tasks are going undone, including:
a. Final inspections and follow up inspections
1) New Homes - 59 each
2) Commercial/Industrial - 8 each
3) Garages - 37 each
4) Decks - 74 each
b. Investigation efforts for work without permits.
c. Investigation work for change of occupancy (use) of
buildings.
d. Updating handout materials for customers.
e. Taking pictures for property identification cards.
f. Foundation inspections for residential construction.
2 . Other by-products of a manpower shortage include:
a. Longer turnover time for processing permits.
b. Backlog of filing documents into property data
files.
c. Inability to provide same day inspection service.
d. Inability to provide consistent "live" service to
telephone callers and service counter customers.
3. Additional upcoming work includes:
a. New ISTS (Individual Sewage Treatment Systems)
responsibilities as mandated by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency and the Metropolitan
Council.

Re: Streetlights on County Road 17 (Marschall Road)
Dear Mr. Larson:
At the February 20, 1996 City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to contact the
County and request that a warrant study be performed for installing additional lighting on County
Road 17 (Marschall Road)between 1st Avenue and 10th Avenue. The City Council felt that the
current level of lighting on this roadway was insufficient given the pedestrian traffic in this
commercial zone.
Please accept this letter as a request from the City to begin the study. If you have any questions
or comments, please feel free to contact either Bruce Loney or myself at 445-3650.
Sincerely,
David M. Nummer

MEMO TO: Barry Stock, Acting City Administrator
FROM: Julie Baumann, Planner I 46
DATE: March 12, 1996
RE: Notification of Adjacent Land Uses
NON AGENDA INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
City Council has requested that staff provide again the research information regarding
notifying property owners of the zoning classification and Comprehensive Plan designation
for properties adjacent to their own. This memo is a duplicate of the information provided
to the City Council at its December 19, 1995, meeting. Staff is currently preparing draft
text regarding notification as directed by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Staff has contacted the communities of Savage, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, and Prior
Lake on this issue. Only one of these four communities mentioned having a notification
process in place. The City of Savage requires that either the builder or the builder and the
buyer of a new home must sign an Acknowledgment of Surrounding Land Use Plans
(attached as Exhibit A). This document states that the property owner has been informed
that any adjacent or nearby property may have a land use classification that differs from
his/her own. The form goes on to say that it is the responsibility of the property owner to
investigate the possibility of differing land use classifications and that such information can
be obtained by contacting the Planning Department.
The signature approach (previous example) does not provide notification to individuals
that are renting (homes, apartments, or townhomes). This information is also not
provided to the second, third, and later buyers of a property. Only the original owner is
notified. This form is not a legal document, therefore this approach has little legal
enforceability.
A second approach would be an informational handout. The handout could be attached to
building permits that are issued. However, the shortcomings of this alternative are similar
to those of the signature approach. The information does not reach renters, individuals
that are moving into existing homes, or those not making some type of home
improvements to an existing structure.
Another alternative would be education of the real estate community, so it may inform its
clients when sales are conducted. Members of the real estate community, in most
instances, communicate with individuals involved in the first, second, third, and later sales
of a home. Again, this approach does not solve the issue of providing information to
renters and would only be as successful as the level of participation.
In instances of rezonings or other land use actions, some communities require that a
notification sign be placed on the property. Issues of responsibility for purchase,
addressed.
maintenance of the signage installation and gne would also need to be a$
These are not the only options available for notification. There may be other alternatives
that could effectively reach these various groups.

LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE TRUST
1996 SAFETY AND LOSS CONTROL WORKSHOPS
The 1996 League Workshops are offering interesting new speakers,topics, and a special
track for small cities. Some of this year's exciting new topics include:
• "Your Money and How to Keep It"
• "Snow and Ice Control -Policies, Planning, Performance, and Public
Communications"
• "Big Employment and Veteran Preference Problems for Small Cities"
• "Don't Let Short-Term Help Become a Long-Term Headache!"
All cities are invited to attend a one-day workshop on safety and loss prevention issues.
Attached is a complete program and the dates/locations for the workshops. These workshops
focus on practical steps cities can take to avoid losses and reduce the cost of losses that do occur.
Sessions begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude by 3:30 p.m.. The day is divided into five tracks:
Track Time
Administrative 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Public Works 8:30 a.m. - 11:30P.m.
Agents 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m
Parks&Recreation 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Small Cities 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The "Administrative" track contains several issues including: OSHA training
requirements, city council discretionary immunity records, electric poles/guy wires liability, loss
control tactics for building code administration,provisions and definitions under the Family
Medical Leave Act, strategies for organizing safety committees, and worker's compensation
issues. A"Hot Topics in Loss Control" session is being offered to answer any additional
questions.
In response to many cities' requests, a"Small Cities" track has been designed. Although
smaller cities often have limited resources and staff, they still need to address loss control issues
such as hiring procedures and what information is and is not open to the public according to the
data practices law. In addition, suggestions will be given for providing community safety on a
shoestring budget.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER
(612)281-1200 (800)925-1122 TDD(612)281-1290 Fax(612,2�1.1'
Discussions in the"Public Works"track are snow and ice control practices, loss control
practices for sewer systems, minimizing risk relating to your water systems, and identification of
safety problems and solutions.
The "Agents"track will assist insurance agents in providing better customer service to
cities by giving suggestions for explaining the experience modification factor to a client and
issues that should be discussed with cities at renewal time. Speakers will also discuss the most
unique features of LMCIT's liability coverage, how it compares to typical CGL policy, and an
update on LMCIT boiler and machinery coverage.
Topics covered in"Parks and Recreation" address potential chemical hazards,
controlling liability associated with swimming beaches and pools,minimizing liability associated
with park signage, and risks presented by failing to properly train temporary or seasonal
employees.
Again,registration is just$15. Each participant will receive a Safety and Loss Control
Workshop manual,refreshments, and lunch.-LMCIT encourages all cities to send at least one
person to the workshop in your area. Because of the valuable information gathered at these
workshops,your city could recoup the registration fee by preventing just one claim.
To register,please complete the registration form included with this mailing. For further
information, contact Tina Folch-Freiermuth or Ellen Longfellow at the League offices, (800)
925-1122 or(612)215-4069. Approval is pending for POST credits and Commerce Department
continuing education credits for insurance agents.

At its February 8, 1996, meeting, the Board of Adjustment and Appeals (BOAA)
reviewed a request by Ralph and Deloyce Goode to consider the storing, screening and
pulverizing of black dirt as a permitted use within the Agricultural Preservation(AG)
zoning district. The BOAA determined that this use should be classified as similar to
other permitted and permitted accessory uses within the AG zone.

At its meeting on Tuesday, January 23, 1996, the CDC recommended to the City Council
that the composition of the EDA be amended to include two City Council members and
five citizen members, with the current CDC members to be given priority in appointment
under the new structure; and to dissolve the CDC as a separate board. At its February 6,
1996, meeting, the City Council amended the composition of the EDA and dissolved the
CDC. Thus, the CDC did not hold a meeting in February and the first regular meeting of
the revised EDA will be held on March 12, 1996, at 6:30 p.m.
Economic Development
Several industrial inquiries were made concerning sites located along TH 101 and in
Valley Green Business Park, especially regarding sites with rail access. Commercial
inquiries regarding sites along the new Bypass continue to rise. Staff is currently working
with developers on preliminary concept plans for commercial development along the
Bypass.
Staff was directed by the City Council to research the availability of grant funds from the
Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Grant Programs to assist with the
redevelopment of Blocks 3 and 4. Staff has contacted Met Council staff and is awaiting
further information regarding eligibility criteria for the various grant programs.

REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA FEBRUARY 6, 1996
President Burl Zorn called the meeting to order at 7:06 P.M. with Commissioners Jeff Henderson,
Robert Sweeney, Cletus Link, Gary Morke, and Cole VanHorn present. Commissioner DuBois
was absent. Also present: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk; Bruce
Loney, Public Works Director/City Engineer; and Paul Bilotta, Community Development Director.
Henderson/VanHorn moved to approve the January 2, 1996 Minutes. Motion carried
unanimously.
Paul Bilotta explained that the CDC members were concerned about whether the CDC would
function as a portion of the FDA, whether membership would transfer, or whether the CDC would
function as a separate entity and if so, would the new EDA members be from an other area. The
CDC members were concerned as they are kept up to date on many issues. If the two current CDC
members that are on the FDA are not retained, the CDC recommended retaining the current status
for one year to provide for a transition period.
Henderson/VanHorn moved to recommend to the City Council that the CDC be eliminated if the
membership composition of the FDA is changed and the two current seats occupied by CDC
members be retained and three existing CDC members be appointed to fill the vacant City Council
seats. Motion carried with Comm. Sweeney dissenting.
Henderson/VanHorn moved to recommend to the City Council that the President of the FDA be
appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council.
Discussion followed.
Motion failed with Comm. Zorn, VanHorn, Morke, and Sweeney dissenting.
Sweeney/Morke offered Resolution No. 96-4, A Resolution of the Economic Development
Authority for the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, Adopting a Set of Real Estate Acquisition Policies
and Procedures, and moved its adoption.
Chrmn. Zorn suggested deleting the words "or the Executive Director's designee" in paragraphs 6,
7, and 8 of the Real Estate Acquisition Policies and Procedures due to redundancy.
Sweeney/Henderson moved to amend Resolution No. 96-4 by deleting the words "or the Executive
Director's designee" from paragraphs 6, 7, and 8 of the Real Estate Acquisition Policies and
Procedures due to redundancy. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion carried unanimously on main motion as amended.

MEMO TO: Shakopee Economic Development Authority
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Election of Officers
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
With the change in composition of the Economic Development Authority(EDA), the City
Attorney is recommending that the election of officers for the authority be ri r t
any
official business of the EDA.
BACKGROUND:
The by-laws of the Economic Development Authority specify that the officers of the authority
shall consist of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and an Assistant Treasurer. The
President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary shall be elected annually. The by-laws also
provide that the offices of Secretary and Assistant Treasurer need not be held by a Commissioner.
Last year the office of Secretary was held by Judith Cox and the office of Assistant Treasurer was
held by Gregg Voxland. Since it is likely that the EDA will be considering a date aside from
regular Council meetings to conduct their meetings, Ms. Cox has requested that some other
representative of the City be assigned as Secretary.
To proceed with the election procedures, the Deputy Executive Director of the EDA shall call for
nominations for the President position. Upon completing the election process for the President
position the President shall call for nominations and conduct elections for the Vice President
position, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer and Secretary. Staff would recommend that the
Community Development Director be considered as a candidate for the Secretary position since
this individual will be in regular attendance at the meetings of the EDA. Staff is recommending
that Gregg Voxland be elected again to fill the Assistant Treasurer position.
I have attached copies of the by-laws of the Economic Development Authority for the benefit of
the new commissioners.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Proceed with the election procedures as setforth herein.

MEMO TO: Shakopee Economic Development Authority
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Selection of Meeting Date-Amendment to By-laws
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The current by-laws of the Shakopee Economic Development Authority provide for a regular
meeting of the authority on the first Tuesday of each month commencing at 7:00 PM. It would be
appropriate for the board to determine if the by-laws should be amended to select another date for
regular meetings so that they do not conflict with City Council meetings.
BACKGROUND:
Currently the Shakopee City Council is scheduled to meet on the first and third Tuesday of each
month. The regular meeting date and time established by the current by-laws conflicts with the
regular City Council meetings. Staff would like to EDA to discuss whether or not an alternate
date or time would be more suitable for conducting business of the EDA.
In the past, the meetings of the Shakopee Community Development Commission have been held
on the third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM. Staff would like to suggest that the third
Wednesday of each month and a meeting time of 5:30 PM be considered as a possible date and
time for the EDA to conduct business. Typically, the Shakopee City Council has scheduled
worksessions on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Therefore, staff would not
recommend that the EDA meetings be held on any Tuesday.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Amend Section 3 Subdivision 2 of the By-Laws of the Shakopee Economic Development
Authority thereby establishing a regular meeting on the third Wednesday of each month of
each year, commencing at 5:30 PM, or at such other time as the board may determine.
2. Amend Section 3 Subdivision 2 of the By-Laws of the Shakopee Economic Development
Authority selecting some other date and time for regular meetings.
3. Maintain the status quo.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Amend Section 3 Subdivision 2 of the By-Laws of the Shakopee Economic Development
Authority thereby establishing a regular meeting on the third Wednesday of each month of each
year, commencing at 5:30 PM, or at such other time as the board may determine.

MEMO TO: Shakopee Economic Development Authority
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Property Insurance -Blocks 3 & 4
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
On February 13, 1996 City Council directed staff to insure the buildings being acquired in Blocks
3 & 4. EDA ratification of Council's action is being requested at this time.
BACKGROUND:
In early February the City secured acquisition of several parcels within Blocks 3 & 4. Possession
of the property necessitated the need to determine what type of insurance coverage should be
placed on the property. Since there were no other schedule meetings of the EDA in February
after February 6th, staff took this item to City Council for direction. The Shakopee City Council
directed staff to insure the buildings. Since the EDA is the actual property holder, ratification of
City Council's action would be appropriate.
On February 13, 1996 the City Finance Director requested direction from City Council with
respect to the need for property insurance coverage for the parcels recently acquired in Blocks 3
&4. The cost of insurance for the three parcels acquired so far is shown below. The bold
numbers reflect the current status of the parcel. Insurance premiums are much higher for vacant
property.
Occupied Vacant
125 E. 1st Avenue $ 149 $1,337
137 E. 1st Avenue 183 1,647
213 E. 1st Avenue 203 1,823
The premium listed above are for the actual market value (which the EDA just paid) for the
parcels. Normal insurance coverage for City buildings is for replacement costs. On February
12th, the Finance Director pointed out that if it is the intention to demolish the buildings, there is
no reason to insure at this time. In the event a building would receive significant damage, the cost
to replace the building or to bring it up to code without insurance would be significant. The
Finance Director pointed out that one reason for insuring the buildings would be to protect the
City's investment in the event that the EDA ultimately selects to keep or sell the property.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to ratify City Council's action to insure the property acquired in Blocks 3 & 4.
2. Direct the appropriate officials to terminate the insurance coverage on the parcels located
in Blocks 3 &4.
3. Table Action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to ratify City Council's action to insure the property acquired in Blocks 3 & 4.

MEMO TO: Shakopee EDA
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Deputy Executive Director
RE: Blocks 3 & 4 -Building Analysis Ratification
DATE: March 4, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Last Fall, staff presented a proposal to the CDC and EDA for an engineering evaluation on a
parcel located within Blocks 3 &4 to determine approximate costs associated with relocation,
demolition and/or relocation. At that time, the EDA selected to defer action on this analysis until
such time that a suitable building could be acquired for the analysis.
BACKGROUND:
At a Committee of the Whole meeting in February, City Council discussed the need for an
evaluation on a parcel located within Blocks 3 & 4 for the purpose of identifying approximate
costs associated with renovation/relocation and/or rehabilitation. This analysis would provide us
with a benchmark for determining the feasibility of renovating, demolishing and/or relocating
other structures located within Blocks 3 & 4. The EDA has acquired the property that is
presently occupied by the Country Collections Antique Shop. At the Committee of the Whole
meeting in February, it was the consensus of City Council that this structure would be suitable for
performing the aforementioned analysis. The total proposed cost for the services associated with
this analysis is projected at a rate not to exceed $7200 plus reimbursable expenses. BKBM
Engineers has excellent qualifications and past experience. Staff is seeking EDA approval to
authorize the appropriate EDA officials to take steps necessary to secure the services of BKBM
Engineers for the Engineering evaluation at a total cost not to exceed $8,000.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to authorize the appropriate EDA officials to take the steps necessary to secure the
services of BKBM Engineers to perform an engineering evaluation on the County
Collections Antique building at a total cost not to exceed $8,000.
2. Seek additional proposals for the engineering evaluation.
3. Select a different building for the purposes of the evaluation.
4. Table action pending further information from staff.
5. Do not perform an engineering evaluation at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to authorize the appropriate EDA officials to take the steps necessary to secure the services
of BKBM Engineers to perform an engineering evaluation on the County Collections Antique
building at a total cost not to exceed $8,000.

Vice-Mayor, Sweeney, turned the meeting back to Mayor Henderson.
Mike Beard, 8434 Horizon Drive, approached the podium on behalf of the Southwest
Transportation Coalition. He reported that, " the STA (Suburban Transit Association) supports the
current system of using the local property tax as the funding source for local transit needs.
However, the STA believes there is inadequate funding to meet the transit and transportation needs
of the future. Therefore, the STA encourages the legislature to enact legislation which would
provide an additional source of funding which is stable and encourages local accountability and
control." The Messerli and Kramer Law Firm has asked if the City of Shakopee would endorse
this position statement on the transit funding solution. He stated that it would be best not to mix
transit and highway funds at this time and to encourage local accountability and control. Mr. Beard
stated that he would like some direction from the Council.
A discussion followed, resulting in a 4-1 vote in support of the STA position statement with Cncl.
Zorn opposed.

use of City buildings for an arts festival. He gave a brief schedule of events and stated their
purpose is to heighten awareness of the arts. The necessity of liability insurance in the amount of
$600,000 was raised. Karen Marty explained that it is standard practice to require this amount of
insurance since this would not be a City sponsored event, and that other organizations have also
been required to provide the same when using City property.
Discussion followed relating to insurance and whether the event could be co-sponsored by the City,
thus eliminating the need for the Shakopee Community Arts Council to carry liability insurance.
Sweeney/Zorn moved to direct staff to create the necessary documents to allow the Recreation
Department to co-sponsor the 1996 Shakopee Area Festival of Arts. Motion carried unanimously.

leave the area. Mr. Fuller explained that he expects his business to become strictly Wedding
receptions in the near future. Discussion followed.

their own policy on this. Discussion continued.

Judith Cox explained how the election precincts are divided and reported that beginning in 1997
there will be a period of time in which realignment of precincts will be prohibited until after the
census and legislative redistricting. She proposed dividing the Third Precinct at Vierling Drive,
resulting in approximately 1500 voters for the northerly part of the precinct, and 550 voters for the
southerly part of the precinct. She proposed that the Fourth Precinct be divided along County Road
16 along the southerly bypass and along Marschall Road. She proposed that this be one precinct of
approximately 1500 voters at this time, with the balance of approximately 700 voters remaining. In
addition, new polling places need to be selected for those new precincts. Ms. Cox proposed using
the Calvary United Methodist Church located on Vierling Drive as it is within the boundary of the

Thrift Shop polling place at this time. She explained that a decision as to whether or not polling
places will be changed must be made before June, as required by law.

implement Ms. Cox's recommendations as presented (to create two new precincts and two new
polling places). Motion carried unanimously.
On February 6th, staff was directed to investigate the street lighting on Marschall Road from 1st
Avenue to 10th Avenue. Dave Nummer reported that City Code does not pertain to the existing
lighting on Marschall Road because no subdivision or property development activities are taking
place. He stated that SPUC does not have a street lighting standard for County Roads, as this issue
has not previously been raised. Mr. Nummer stated that upon contacting the County they indicated
that their policy is to only install street lights at intersections where traffic signals are being
installed. He proposed alternatives for Council consideration: creating new policy direction for
staff to implement, contacting other agencies, putting the lights in as a city project, assessed or not
assessed, and asked for direction for staff.
Jerry Hennen, Owner, Hennen's Cleaners on Marschall Road, approached the podium and

Gary Morke, 1042 Merrifield, approached the podium and inquired as to who will call the first
E.D.A. meeting and who will determine the agenda of the first meeting.
Mayor Henderson stated that the agenda will be set by staff and approved by the Chairman and
stated that Mr. Zorn is still a member.
Discussion followed.
Zorn/Link moved that the E.D.A. meeting be held at 6:30 P.M. on March 12th. Motion carried
unanimously. (A representative from Conworth Inc. will be invited to the Council meeting to
explain the relocation law as it pertains to the acquisition of property in Blocks 3 and 4)
As a result of investigation into the possibility of requiring a zoning disclosure at the time of sale of
property, staff recommended that all real estate brokerage firms in the City be notified so that they
can provide input to the City Council. The effectiveness will depend upon the cooperation of the
real estate sales community.
Discussion ensued relating to the intent of zoning notification.
Zorn/Link moved to direct staff to prepare a City Code amendment requiring all real estate brokers
to disclose the zoning of property within 350 feet of the subject property and to notify local real
estate brokerage firms when the draft text is prepared so that they may provide comments to the
City Council.
Paul Bilotta will provide staff with a copy of Prior Lake's disclosure policy.
Motion carried unanimously.
Barry Stock reported that the demand for ice time drops after March 3rd. He explained that we
have the opportunity to schedule additional time beyond March 3rd if we can offer a more
competitive rate. He proposed that the fee schedule be amended to allow a prime time rate of
$90.00 per hour for March and April, which will more than off-set operating costs during this time.
Official Proceedings of the February 20, 1996
Shakopee City Council Page -10-
Sweeney/Zorn offered Resolution No. 4399, A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 4365
Adopting The 1996 Fee Schedule, and moved its adoption. Motion carried unanimously.
Dennis Kraft gave an overview of the status of the Bureau of Mediation Services negotiations. He
reported that the status quo order was reduced from 20 to 8. The unit designation is now a
Supervisory Unit. A mail ballot will be sent to each member and a determination made as to
whether a unit is formed or if the procedure will be terminated. One impact of this is that
employees not in the designated Supervisory Unit are now under the 1996 Pay Plan. Mr. Kraft
asked the City Council to affirm the decisions made on the eight positions making up the
Supervisory Unit.
Mayor Henderson stated that once the amended status quo order is received, the pay plan would be
implemented for those not covered by it.
DuBois/Link moved to affirm the position of the Shakopee City Council that the positions
comprising the Supervisory Unit will include the Public Works Director, the Community
Development Director, the Assistant City Administrator, the Finance Director, the Arena Manager,
the Police Chief, the Deputy Police Chief, and the Public Works Maintenance Forman. Motion
carried with Cncl. Zorn opposed.
Mr. Kraft reported that the Board of Directors of the Scott Joint Prosecution Association have
agreed to allow Shakopee to become a full voting member. The initial cost has been determined and
based upon 29 percent of open cases the projected budget is $80,000. Fine revenues may cover a
large portion of the estimated cost, they believe. It is also possible that there will be a 3/4 time
position for the Clerk/Typist.
Karen Marty stated that there are inconsistencies relating to the number of days required for notice
of termination, and the signature blocks need to be changed in the agreement.
Zorn/DuBois moved to direct the appropriate City Officials to take the appropriate action to cause
the City of Shakopee to become a member of the Scott Joint Prosecution Association and further
moved that the City of Shakopee will pay its proportionate share of the costs for membership in this
organization, which costs shall be determined by the proportionate share of cases generated by the
City of Shakopee. Motion carried unanimously.
Sweeney/Link moved to appoint Chris Dellwo to the full-time permanent position of police patrol
officer. Motion carried unanimously.
Barry Stock reported that the decision to terminate the Kosse lease on February 6, 1996 (as
requested by Terri Kosse, Kosse Studio, 137 East 1st Avenue) would result in a loss to the EDA in
the amount of$2,600.16. He explained that this is a policy decision for the Economic Develop-
ment Authority to consider. Discussion ensued relating to relocation fees and the lease.
Official Proceedings of the February 20, 1996
Shakopee City Council Page -11-
DuBois/Link moved to recommend to the EDA that the appropriate City officials be authorized to
terminate the lease agreement by and between Kosse Studio and the City of Shakopee for the space
located at 137 E. First Avenue effective February 6, 1996. Motion carried unanimously.
Karen Marty reported that Federal regulation requires the City to provide drug and alcohol testing
for commercial motor vehicle drivers. She explained that daily fines may be imposed if this is not
done. There is an agreement with Shakopee Public Utilities and the Minnesota Municipal Utilities
Association (MMTJA) to provide drug and alcohol testing, and she suggested following SPUC and
entering into an agreement with the MMUA to provide testing of City employees.
Sweeney/DuBois offered Resolution No. 4367, A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 4213,
Adopting A Personnel Handbook, By Revising Section VI. Employee Conduct, A. Appropriate
Conduct, Paragraph 7, Drug and Alcohol Policy, and moved its adoption. Motion carried
unanimously.
Sweeney/Link moved to authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into an agreement with
Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association for the provision of drug and alcohol testing. Motion
carried unanimously.
DuBois/Link offered Resolution No. 4395, A Resolution Setting the Public Hearing Date to
Consider the Vacation of Right-of-way, and moved its adoption. (West 1/2 of Cass Street between
3rd and 4th Avenues.) Motion carried unanimously.
Dave Nummer explained that the City is limited in the mileage of State Aid highways that can be
designated. He proposed revoking the State Aid Route designation for Valley View Road from
County Road 83 to County Road 21. The road that has been designated must be removed in order
to free up mileage in order to maximize State Aid allocation and utilize State Aid funding for the
construction of 17th Avenue.
Sweeney/Zorn offered Resolution No. 4397, A Resolution Revoking the State Aid Designation of
Valley View Road, from County Road 83 to County Road 21, MSAS 166-109, and moved its
adoption. Motion carried unanimously.
Zorn/DuBois offered Resolution No. 4398, A Resolution Establishing as a Municipal State Aid
Highway, 17th Avenue from County road 17 to County road 83, and moved its adoption. Motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Henderson recessed at 10:29 P.M. for a break and re-convened the meeting at 10:41 P.M.
Cncl. Zorn stated that the Metropolitan Council has proposed three growth scenarios for adoption
which would not be in the best interest of the City. Mr. Zorn inquired as to the limits of City input
to the establishment of the growth options.
Official Proceedings of the February 20, 1996
Shakopee City Council Page -12-
Paul Bilotta explained that the MetCouncil's intent was that the current MUSA (Metropolitan
Urban Service Area) expansion process was too restrictive and they were looking for a
compromise. The Metropolitan Council redefined the current situation as runaway growth. He
stated that the three options are not realistic of growth in Shakopee and recommended that the
Council consider these to be more than conceptual and to talk with the representatives at the
Metropolitan Council.
Cncl. Sweeney stated that this could set a moratorium on growth until 2020, this might be
addressed by the possibility of being in a position to sue the Metropolitan Council because of the
Chaska Interceptor Agreement.
Dennis Kraft explained that Bill Schreiber has pointed this out to the Metropolitan Council.
An unidentified gentleman approached the podium and explained that there are different
characteristics of the growth. One where there is no growth, encouraging redevelopment in the
inner-city areas; the other is to recognize investments in infrastructure. He stated that it was his
opinion that things were guided toward investments in infrastructure and that Shakopee would fit
into this with the Chaska Interceptor, the bridge crossing, and the bypass.
Paul Bilotta explained various staging plans for development, stating that there is some micro-
managing to the established growth patterns, but did not know if the Metropolitan Council would
be open to changes or not. However, the implementation is the key and needs to be watched.
Cncl. Zorn reported that the tax base revitalization program under the Livable Communities Act
has some grants that possibly Blocks 3 & 4 and the River Front development could qualify for. He
stated that the Livable Communities Demo Program is based on loans the City does not need; and
the Housing Incentive Program is a combination of unneeded loans and grants. He suggested staff
explore the possibility of qualification to receive a grant under the tax based revitalization program.
Paul Bilotta stated that the revitalization program is attractive as the definition of pollution or
contaminated area is broader than usual and may deal with asbestos.
Discussion ensued relating to changing the format and the name of the Committee of the Whole
Meeting to a Council work session with a board room style meeting.
DuBois/Link moved to rename the Committee of the Whole meeting to a Council Work Session
and to change the format to a board room style meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Henderson recessed at 10:29 P.M. for an executive session to discuss matters covered under
attorney-client privilege.

keep Mr. Michael P. Varuska from contacting the Police Department directly. Motion carried
unanimously.
Sweeney/Zorn moved to adjourn to Tuesday, February 27, at 5:00 P.M. Motion carried
unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 11:36 P.M.

Introduction and Background:
At its May 6th Regular Meeting, the EDA directed staff to advertise for five openings on

five volunteers in addition to one EDA member and the Economic Development
Coordinator.
Advertisements were placed in multiple editions of the Shakopee Valley News, and aired
over the Shakopee community cable channel. There were no applicants as a result of the
advertising. However, staff was able to recruit applicants through direct marketing tactics.
Letters and applications were mailed to approximately 75 business / property owners in
the target area, followed up with phone calls and/or personal visits. This effort generated
twelve applicants. Their applications are attached to this memo. For the EDA's
information, four additional prospective volunteers, as outlined on the attached list, have
indicated that they will submit their applications the week of August 31 - September 6.
Assuming the additional four applications are submitted, the total number of applicants is
sixteen.
The EDA is asked to nominate and appoint applicants to the Downtown/ 1st Avenue Ad
Hoc Committee.
Options:
1. Offer and pass a motion to nominate all 16 applicants to the Downtown/ 1st
Avenue Ad Hoc Committee, contingent upon receiving the additional four
applications, and appoint a Selection Committee comprised of EDA board

should specify if more)to become Ad Hoc Committee members,to be brought
back to the EDA at a future meeting for final approval.
2. Offer and pass a motion to nominate the 12 applicants (whose applications the

CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
I own a building (124 South Lewis Street) in downtown Shakopee.
I operate my insurance agency from this location. My father owns
two properties in the area, (102 S. Lewis St. & 409-415 East 1st
Ave) .
The potential for a conflict of interest exists, for the some of
the same reasons that I have a understanding of the area as well
as a desire to see the area revitalized. However; I would have
the same opinions about this area if my family or myself did not
have a business interest in this area, as I believe that this
district is a gateway to our city and a healthy downtown serves
as a source of community pride as well as a recognizable center
of the community.

Meeting Date: February 8, 1996
Re: Vacation of Drainage and Util Easements
Site Information:
Applicant: Bruce Heinz
Property Owner Bruce Heinz
Location: 626 West 3rd Avenue
Old Shakopee Residential R-1 C
Current Zoning: p ( )
Adjacent Zoning: North: 1-2 Heavy Industrial
South: R-1 C Old Shakopee Residential
East: R-1 C Old Shakopee Residential
West: 1-2 Heavy Industrial
Comp. Plan: 1980: Single Family Residential
Draft 1995: Single Family Residential
MUSA: The site is within the MUSA and can be served by all municipal
utilities.
Introduction
The City has received a petition from Mr. Bruce Heinz, for the vacation of a drainage and
utility easement measuring 32 feet in width by 142 feet in length. This easement is located
within the vacated right-of-way for Pierce Street between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue and
is directly west of Lot 10, Block 43, Original Shakopee Plat.
The City Council will hold a public hearing on February 20, 1996, to consider this vacation
request. A recommendation from the Planning Commission is needed for the vacation
process.
Discussion
Attached is a copy of the portion of the zoning map showing the location of the subject site
(See Exhibit A). Also attached (as Exhibit B) is an illustration which shows the location of
the drainage and utility easement that is being proposed for vacation. Exhibit C is a copy of
the letter submitted by the applicant.
The City Engineer has commented that the city has storm sewer and a paved alley in this
area. An accurate survey showing the location of storm sewer and alley must be submitted
to the City Engineer for review. Upon reviewing the survey, the City Engineer will make a
determination regarding the amount of drainage and utility easement that can either be
vacated or retained.
The draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as Single Family Residential.
This vacation is not in conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Alternatives
1. Recommend to the City Council the approval of the vacation of drainage and utility
easement, except for that area that is determined by the City Engineer to be necessary
for utility and alley purposes.
2. Recommend to the City Council to deny the request to vacate the drainage and utility
easement.
3. Table the decision to allow staff or the applicant to provide additional information.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
Action Requested
Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the vacation of the
drainage and utility easement, except for that area that is determined by the City Engineer
to be necessary for utility and alley purposes.

Currently, I own Lots 9 and 10, Block 43. I have a house on Lot 9 with the garage on Lot 10. After
the vacation of Pierce street in 1995, I gained approximately 32 feet on the west side of my
property. At the time of vacation,the land was put into an easement. I have done some extensive
checking into the easement area as to water main, storm sewer, electric, etc. There doesn't appear
to be any under that area.
I am hopeful that the 32 foot easement could be vacated.This would make it possible for me to
either sell Lot 10 as a separate lot or move another house of a similar age and style for the area
onto that lot.
Lots 9 and 10 would then be approximately 70 X 142 feet.

MEMO TO: Shakopee EDA and Mayor and City Council 116Z-,FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Relocation Consultant Presentation
DATE: March 4, 1996
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The Shakopee EDA is currently in the process of acquiring the parcels located within Blocks 3 &
4. To assist in the acquisition process, the City hired Conworth Inc. to complete the relocation
aspects of this project. Conworth Inc. is working in cooperation with Northstar Land Services to
complete the acquisition aspects of the project.
Over the course of the past two months as we have begun acquiring property and relocating
tenants, a number of questions have arisen regarding the relocation process and the payments
being made.
On March 12th, Mr. Ken Helvey from Conworth Inc. will be present at our meeting to share with
us some of the legal requirements associated with the relocation process. Mr. Helvey will be
prepared to answer any questions from either the EDA or City Council. Additionally, Mr. Helvey
will review several actual case studies of relocations that we have paid in our project. Attached is
a summary of how the Federal Uniform Relocation Act applies to the following:

SUBJ: Rural Vs Urban Tax District (follow up)
DATE: March 5, 1996
Introduction
Council' s last action on the rural taxing district situation
was to table it to the first meeting in March.
Background
Background information has been included in two previous
council packets. It has not been included now to save on
costs, please refer to the packets of January 2, 1996 and
January 23, 1996 .
This issue was tabled to the first meeting in March to allow
a decision to be reached in the Link/Lebens VS City of
Shakopee suit . That suit has been decided by the court .
Briefly, the city has a rural taxing district that cuts the
city property tax in half for parcels included in the
district. The rural district is property classified by the
assessor as agricultural homestead or agricultural non-
homestead. Also, it must be open. rural in nature and
maintained in farm crops or seeded. It was reported by
Harry Weinandt and Elmer Marschall that this was an
enticement to get the farmers to go along with the
annexation of Eagle Creek Township. Attached is a document
from the time period of the annexation deliberations that
was brought to Councilor Zorn by Mr. Marschall .
Staff has found nothing in the records regarding the rural
taxing district that has not been supplied to Council in
previous memos. Specifically, nothing has been found as to
how long the district would continue but there was a
provision in the 1967 ordinance to provide for closing the
district after ten years.
Prior Lake has terminated their rural taxing district
effective with 1997 taxes.
To recap and summarize some of the issues impacting on this
situation;
Factors in favor of reconsideration
• Time line - how long was the district to continue,
the 1967 Ordinance had provisions for a 10 year
termination.
• Ag property now has taxation benefits in the form of
green acres status and lower assessment rates.
• The city now has more reliance on user fees and
therefore less taxation for specific benefit
services .
• Taxation for city services is based on property
value - not services received.
• Planning for future growth up to 50 years away is
currently going on and affects many of the parcels
included in the rural district, therefore indirectly
receiving services and increasing city costs.
Factors in favor of keeping the rural district
• The tax rate reduction was reportedly offered as an
enticement for farmers to agree to annexation.
Their position appears to be that services received
by ag property are less than other properties. This
situation has not changed and the district should
continue.
Alternatives
1 . Status Quo.
2 . Eliminate district .
3 . Phase out over five years.
4 . Modify criteria to tighten eligibility and have a ten
year closure date.
Recommendation
This is a policy decision and staff has no specific
recommendation except that the criteria of "open and rural
in nature" is vague and should be clarified.
However, in order to put something on the table to provide a
starting point for Council discussion, alternative number 4
is suggested. Criteria would be; classified agricultural by
assessor, open and rural in nature, tilled for farm crops or
seeded, not platted for development, not adjacent to a
developed parcel/area and outside of the MUSA area.
Furthermore, that the last year the rural taxing district
would be in effect is for taxes payable in 2006 .
Action
Move to direct staff to prepare an ordinance to modify the
criteria of inclusion in the rural taxing district to
include : classified agricultural by assessor, open and rural
in nature, tilled for farm crops or seeded, not platted for
development, not adjacent to a developed parcel/area and
outside of the MUSA area. Furthermore, that the last year
the rural taxing district would be in effect is for taxes
payable in 2006.

ANNEXATION FACTS (612) 496-0044
"Four Million by Two Thousand" is a publication of the Metropoli-
tan Council. In it they project the population of the 7-county Metro Area
to reach four million people by the year 2000 - only 31 years from now!
"Where will all of these people reside?
"What type of communities will be desirable?
"Which communities will provide municipal services on an
economic basis"?
The answers are obvious. The central cities are saturated and are
even losing population. The first ring of suburbs such as Edina, Richfield
and St. Louis Park have almost reached a saturation point. Therefore, this
.,5
growth must take•place in areas such as Bloomington, Burnsville, Shakopee,
Savage, Eden Prairie and Chaska. Which of these areas becomes a quality,
desirable and economic community depends on actions taken now.
The Shakopee area (as defined in the annexation petition) has an
f Y_
opportunity now to prepare for this growth and has an orderly procedure
established so that it can be the preferred community. However, planning
must be started immediately to create the facilities as needed to build an
ideal community. This should include enough land area (such as the pro-
•
posed area in the petition) to lend itself to the proper planning for a
balance of residential, commercial, industrial, open-space, recreational,
educational and cultural uses. r F,
By uniting now the present residents of Eagle Creek, Jackson and
Louisville can create the "ideal" community and in the process enjoy the
urbanization of their areas while protecting their investments in their
homes and businesses. For example, the concerned citizens of Eagle Creek
can realize these advantages:
1. TAXES. .
To understand them we must first know for what purpose these
taxes are used and then make a comparison with the taxes on a
$20,000 home in Shakopee or Eagle Creek:
1969 1969 If Annexed
Eagle Creek Shakopee Each would Pay
Scott Co. $ 98.11 $ 98.11 $ 98.11,E
Dist. 720 249.60 249.60 249.60
Twsp/City 21.98 31.16 24.49
S. S. D. 22.49 none 21.78
$ 392.18 $ 378.87 $ 393.98
• _ 2 _
•
One thing to keep in mind is that less than 100 of the tax dollar is for
Township or City costs. The largest percentages are for the school district
(already included for practically all of the proposed areas of Eagle Creek)
and the County. By combining the tax base of the City of Shakopee with Eagle
Creek, the tax costs on homes, now and in the future, should be minimized.
The owner of a $30,000 farm unit now pays $54.16 to the township
and this amount would actually be reduced to $43.56. This is because of
Shakopee's Ordinance No. 270 (copy attached), which assesses at the rate of
30%. The maximum increase could be up to 50% under the city charter. How-
ever, there is no sentiment to change this ordinance.
In addition, citizens with agriculturally classed property need
not fear the assessments for sewer, water and other public improvements.
There is every indication.that the policy will.continue that the City will
levy no assessments for such improvements until the land is developed for
other than agricultural use. To check this policy, it is suggested that z•
you will call upon present farmers now within the City.
2. REPRESENTATION.
No one wishes to be governed without representation. To allay .
any fears on the part of the proposed areas.to be annexed, the common
council of Shakopee adopted Resolution No. 327 (copy attached). This allows
for immediate representation on the council.
3. PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.
All Eagle Creek residents would automatically become °stock-
holders" in the two-million dollar Shakopee Public Utilities .Coamnission.
This would provide a dividend on today's rates equal to the entire city tax
levy. Additionally, any person now served by the Shakopee system would
receive a reduction of $20 per year.
4. TAX LIMITS.
Eagle Creek would also inherit some of the benefits of the
present Shakopee charter. This includes a 9-mill general tax limit, conti-
nued use of the county jail and the use of a well-established and well-
organized government.
5. METRO PLANNING.
As a growth area in the metropolitan region, the larger com-
munity
r 'T
will have a stronger voice in metropolitan planning. This, in turn,
will insure more authority in the planning of highways, bridges, metro
improvements and other future endeavors such as junior colleges and mass
transit facilities.
- 3 -
6. NEEDS & COSTS.
Whether we approve of annexation or not, the needs of our area
are going to be met. To annex small areas is costly. Under the present
•r
petition, ALL of the costs will be covered by the city of Shakopee.
7. PRACTICALITY OF ADMINISTRATION, ETC..
To maintain and nurture many small municipalities such as
Eagle Creek would require the duplication (at much higher costs) of admini-
stration, police, fire and other functions of municipal government. Without
doubt, it is almost always less expensive to expand an existing facility than
create a whole new entity.
8. TAX REBATES.
Another advantage to Eagle Creek residents is the increased
share of State aid funds for road purposes.. Currently the Township receives
nothing. However, Shakopee is presently receiving the equivalent of
$82,000 per year. Even on a basis of only 5,000 population, this type of aid
would continue. However, if the population would reach 10,000 by 1970, these

are currently rated for fire rates as a No. 10. With municipal water and
fire protection, these rates would could possibly drop to the current
Shakopee rating of "6'. This could produce the saving of at least 20% in
fire insurance premiums. Liability premiums would also have a good chance

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
I AM IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED ELIMINATION OF THE 50%
TAX ON AGRICULTURE LAND THAT WAS ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE
IN 1969.
IN THE EARLY 1960 ' s THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE OPPOSITION BY THE
RESIDENTS OF EAGLE CREEK TOWNSHIP TO THE ANNEXATION BY THE CITY
OF SHAKOPEE.
ORDINANCE : NO. 270 WHICH STATED THAT AGRICULTURAL LAND WOULD
BE TAXED AT 30% AND SIGNED BY THE THEN PRESIDENT A.J. BERENS
AUGUST 22, 1967.
THE COMMON COUNCIL PRODUCED THE"ANNEXATION FACTS" WITH ORDINANCE
270 AND DISTRIBUTED THE IMFORMATION TO THE RESIDENTS IN 1969 TO
REDUCE OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION.
I THEREFORE BELEIVE THE 30% TAX SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED.
H.L. WEINANDT
LAST TOWN BOARD CHAIRMAN
OF EAGLE CREEK

Shakopee, MN 55370
ANNEXATION FACTS (612) 496-0844
"Four Million by Two Thousand" is a publication of the Metropoli-
tan Council. In it they project the population of the 7-county Metro Area
to reach four million people by the year 2000 - only 31 years from now!
"Where will all of these people reside?
"What type of communities will be desirable?
"Which communities will provide municipal services on an
economic basis"?
The answers are obvious. The central cities are saturated and are
even losing population. The first ring of suburbs such as Edina, Richfield
and St. Louis Park have almost reached a satuiation point. Therefore, this
growth must take 'place in areas such as Bloomington, Burnsville, Shakopee,
Savage, Eden Prairie and Chaska. Which of these areas becomes a quality,
desirable and economic community depends on actions taken now.
The Shakopee area (as defined in the annexation petition) has an
opportunity now to prepare for this growth and has an orderly procedure
established so that it can be the preferred community. However, planning
must be started immediately to create the facilities as needed to build an
ideal community. This should include enough land area (such as the pro-
posed area in the petition) to lend itself to the proper planning for a
balance of residential, commercial, industrial, open-space, recreational,
educational and cultural uses.
By uniting now the present residents of Eagle Creek, Jackson and
Louisville can create the "ideal" community and in the process enjoy the
urbanization of their areas while protecting their investments in their
homes and businesses. For example, the concerned citizens of Eagle Creek
can realize these advantages:
1. TAXES. .
To understand them we must first know for what purpose these
taxes are used and then make a comparison with the taxes on a
$20,000 home in Shakopee or Eagle Creek:
1969 1969 If Annexed
Eagle Creek Shakopee Each would Pay
Scott Co. $ 98.11 $ 98.11 $ 98.11\
Dist. 720 249.60 249.60 249.60
Twsp/City 21.98 31.16 24.49
S. S. D. 22.49 none 21.78
$ 392.18 $ 378.87 $ 393.98
- 2 -
One thing to keep in mind is that less than 10¢ of the tax dollar is for
Township or City costs. The largest percentages are for the school district
(already included for practically all of the proposed areas of Eagle Creek)
and the County. By combining the tax base of the City of Shakopee with Eagle
Creek, the tax costs on homes, now ,and in the future, should be minimized.
The owner of a $30,000 farm unit now pays $54.16 to the township
and this amount would actually be reduced to $43.56. This is because of
Shakopee's Ordinance No. 270 (copy attached), which assesses at the rate of
30%. The maximum increase could be up to 50% under the city charter. How-
ever, there is no sentiment to change this ordinance.
In addition, citizens with agriculturally classed property need
not fear the assessments for sewer, water and other public improvements.
There is every indication.that the policy will. continue that the City will
levy no assessments for such improvements until the land is developed for
other than agricultural use. To check this policy, it is suggested that
you will call upon present farmers now within the City.
2. REPRESENTATION.
No one wishes to be governed without representation. To allay .
any fears on the part of the proposed areas -to be annexed, the common
council of Shakopee adopted Resolution No. 327 (copy attached) . This allows
for immediate representation on the council.
3. PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.
All Eagle Creek residents would automatically become "stock-
holders" in the two-million dollar Shakopee Public Utilities Commission. •
This would provide a dividend on today's rates equal to the entire city tax
levy. Additionally, any person now served by the Shakopee system would
receive a reduction of $20 per year.
4. TAX LIMITS.
Eagle Creek would also inherit some of the benefits of the
present Shakopee charter. This includes a 9-mill general tax limit, conti-
nued use of the county jail and the use of a well-established and well-
organized government.
5. METRO PLANNING.
As a growth area in the metropolitan region, the larger com-
munity will have a stronger voice in metropolitan planning. This, in turn,
will insure more authority in the planning of highways, bridges, metro
improvements and other future endeavors such as junior colleges and mass
transit facilities.
- 3 -
•
6. NEEDS & COSTS.
Whether we approve of annexation or not, the needs of our area
are going to be met. To annex small areas is costly. Under the present
petition, ALL of the costs will be covered by the city of Shakopee.
7. PRACTICALITY OF ADMINISTRATION, ETC. .
To maintain and nurture many small municipalities such as
Eagle Creek would require the duplication (at much higher costs) of admini-
stration, police, fire and other functions of municipal government. Without ,
. doubt, it is almost always less expensive to expand an existing facility than
create a whole new entity.
8. TAX REBATES.
•
Another advantage to Eagle Creek residents is the increased
share of State aid funds for. road purposes.. Currently the Township receives
nothing. However, Shakopee is presently receiving the equivalent of
$82,000 per year. Even on a basis of only 5,000 population, this type of aid
would continue. However, if the population would reach 10,000 by 1970, these
aids would be materially increased.
9. 'TOPOGRAPHY.
The basic drainage - or watershed - in the petitioned area shows
that it flaws into the Shakopee area.
10. SCHOOL DIST. #720.
District #720, more commonly known as the Shakopee School
District, is included in the annexation petition.
11. HIGHWAYS.
County and State highways focus on the present commercial dis-
trict of Shakopee.
12. COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. •
All a vital part of the community of Shakopee are the various
churches, the Chamber of Commerce, Lions, Rotary and J. C.'s.
• 13. MISCELLANEOUS SAVINGS.
No extra charges for use of swimming pool, library, parks, •
and contemplated recreational facilities.
•

14. POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION.
Savings are possible in Eagle Creek. All homes and industries
are currently rated for fire rates as a No. 10. With municipal water and
fire protection, these rates would could possibly drop to the current
Shakopee rating of "6". This could produce the saving of at least 20% in
fire insurance premiums. Liability premiums would also have a good chance
of being reduced.
15. TELEPHONE & POST OFFICE. •
Currently all telephone and postal service is now entitled
with a Shakopee classification. Under annexation this would not change.
16. ,,LAND VALUES.
All land values in Eagle Creek would be enhanced because of
the development of a planned, organized, ideal' community. Current owners
would have the opportunity of expecting increased valuations for development
purposes much more rapidly than if they were not included in such a master
plan.
. 17. COMMUNITY INTEREST SURVEY.
a. 90% identify with Shakopee.
b. 80% shop in Shakopee. .
c. 75% read the SHAKOPEE VALLEY NEWS.
18. VALLEY INDUSTRIAL PARK.
This area, plus basic industries such as Rahr Malting, have
and are increasing the tax base for a new and expanded community. By uniting
now, the revenues derived from this industrial development should produce tax
revenues that will allow us to urbanize and pay for the growth of the "ideal"
community.
While all of the above is factual material, all residents of Eagle
Creek should ask questions of their community leaders before going to the
polls to vote on such an important question as the annexation to Shakopee.
• One additional point which should be made clear is that Valley
Industrial Park has stated, "We have had excellent cooperation with the
Township of Eagle Creek, but favor the annexation petition to the city of
Shakopee".

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorne�
DATE: March 1, 1996
RE : Tobacco Ordinance Violations
BACKGROUND:
In July, 1995, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 414,
regulating the sale of tobacco products . The ordinance was
intended to protect minors, by making it difficult for minors to
purchase or steal tobacco products . In particular, the ordinance
prohibits tobacco sales from vending machines "except in an area
within a factory, business, office, or other place not open to the
general public, or to which persons under 18 years of age are not
generally permitted access . " In addition, tobacco products may not
be sold "from an open display to which the public has access
without the intervention of an employee" except that cigarette
cartons may be sold from a display rack if the removal of the
carton triggers an alarm.
CURRENT MATTER:
On February 23 , 1996, the Police Department surveyed 28
businesses in Shakopee which are licensed for tobacco sales . Two
minors working with the police attempted to purchase cigarettes in
each business . Eleven of the 28 businesses sold cigarettes to the
minors . Six of the sales were from vending machines; five were
from store clerks . Each of the five store clerks were issued tab
charges, and will be appearing in court in March.
ISSUE :
When the ordinance was adopted, the City Council debated at
length regarding prohibiting vending machines entirely. The
Council decided that allowing vending machines in places where
minors were not generally permitted access would suffice.
Unfortunately, this does not appear to restrict sales to minors
from vending machines . The City Council may want to decide whether
to revisit this issue.
The City Council also carefully structured the penalties for
sales to minors. The penalty increases for each violation within
a 12-month period. Prior to the penalty being imposed, a hearing
must be held before the City Council, a Council committee, or by a
hearing examiner. The City Council should decide whether to
conduct the hearing itself, or to appoint a committee or hire a
hearing examiner to conduct the hearing. For the five businesses
where a store clerk was issued a tab charge, the City Council also
may want to consider whether to have the hearing before or after
the criminal charge has been concluded. For liquor license
violations, we wait until after the criminal matter is concluded,
since it makes the hearing easier.
ALTERNATIVES :
1 . Direct staff to prepare an amendment to the City Code to
prohibit sales of tobacco from vending machines .
2 . Do not change the ordinance regulating vending machine
sales .
3 . Direct staff to initiate a hearing before the City Council
on the six businesses which allowed cigarette sales to a minor from
a vending machine .
4 . Direct staff to initiate a hearing now before the City
Council on the five businesses where a store clerk sold tobacco to
a minor.
5 . Direct staff to initiate a hearing before the City Council
on the five businesses where a store clerk sold tobacco to a minor,
but wait to conduct each hearing until the applicable store clerk' s
criminal matter is concluded.
6 . Same as 3 , 4, and 5, but before a City Council committee .
7 . Same as 3 , 4, and 5, but before a hearing examiner, which
the City Council hires.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and give staff direction on three issues : (1) whether
to change the ordinance relating to vending machines; (2) whether
to hold hearings before the City Council, a Council committee, or
a hearing examiner; and (3) whether to hold hearings for the five
businesses where a tab charge was issued now, or after the criminal
matter is concluded.
[1MEMO3] -2-
TO: Mayor Henderson
Councilmembers
FROM: Tom Steininger, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Tobacco Violations
DATE: 03 05 96
INTRODUCTION:
The following information is provided to augment the memo from the
City Attorney dated 03 01 96.
BACKGROUND:
Section 10.02, Subdivision 2 of the Shakopee City Code states "it
is unlawful for any person to furnish tobacco by any manner or
means and in any form, to any person under the age of eighteen
years. "
On Friday, 02 23 96, this department conducted a compliance check
of tobacco vendors in accordance with instructions received from
Council in 1995. Officer Crocker, worked with representatives of
the Minnesota River Tobacco Control Coalition and observed the
violations listed herein.
Cigarettes were purchased over the counter by a person under the
age of eighteen at the following locations: K-Mart, Budget Liquor
Warehouse, The Knights of Columbus Hall, Koehnen's Amoco Station
and Cleve's SuperValu. In each case, the individual making the
sale was charged with misdemeanor sale of tobacco to a minor.
When dealing with liquor license violations, cases usually are not
brought to Council until they have been adjudicated. In the
interest of consistency, staff will monitor these tobacco violation
cases in the same manner as liquor violation cases and bring them
to Council after they have gone through the Court.
Cigarettes were purchased from vending machines by a person under
the age of eighteen at the following locations: The Main Event
Sports Bar, Turtle's Bar and Grill, Inc. , Canterbury Inn, The Rock
Spring Supper Club and Arnie's Bar. Criminal charges regarding
these cases have not been filed at this time because it seems more
appropriate to deal with them as license violations.

Community Action for a Tobacco-Free Environment
Dear Mayor Henderson and Members of the Shakopee City Council :
On Friday, February 23rd, 1996 , compliance checks for
underage tobacco sales were conducted in Shakopee by the Shakopee
Police Department and two youths from the Minnesota River Valley
Tobacco Control Coalition. This local coalition is a
subcontractor of the Minnesota ASSIST (American Stop Smoking
Intervention Study) project -- a collaborative effort between the
National Cancer Institute (NCI ) and the American Cancer Society
(ACS) , along with state health departments and other public and
private organizations , to develop comprehensive tobacco use
control programs in 17 states .
In an effort to assess the accessibility of tobacco to minors
in Shakopee , the two youths attempted to purchase tobacco products
at 28 local establishments , including grocery stores , convenience
stores , gas stations , liquor stores , restaurants and bars . They
were able to buy tobacco at 11 of the 28 places (39%) , with 6 of
the successful buys being from vending machines .
To help you put these tobacco license violations into
perspective, I have attached a time line describing the lengthy
process that preceded this most recent compliance check . Since
March of 1994 , there have been four compliance checks conducted in
Shakopee; one-on-one meetings with Chief of Police Tom Steininger ,
myself and local licensed tobacco retailers; and group discussions
involving members of our coalition, law enforcement , city council
members and local retailers during city council meetings as we all
provided input into the development of Shakopee' s tobacco
ordinance. During these discussions , retailers present at the
city council meetings made verbal commitments to take the
following actions : 1) educate their employees regarding illegal
tobacco sales , 2 ) refuse tobacco sales to minors , and 3) take
measures to decrease the accessibility of tobacco products to
minors .
However , despite those verbal commitments , some businesses
continue to ignore the law and sell tobacco to kids . Five of the
places who recently sold tobacco to minors had also sold on a
previous compliance check (please refer to the attached sheet) .
In fact , some businesses not on the most recent list , have sold
three times during compliance checks since 1994 .
These repeated violations of the law are unacceptable. The
Minnesota State Statute regarding restricting youth access to
tobacco products has been in place since 1963 and our local
tobacco ordinance was adopted last July . This is a serious matter .
Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death. Tobacco is

the only legal product that when used as intended, kills -- more
than 434 ,000 people every year -- more than combined deaths from
Aids , Homicides , Alcohol , Cocaine , Fire, Heroin, Car Crashes , and
Suicides . Preventing youth access to tobacco is an essential
strategy in preventing lifetime addiction to tobacco.
We ask our community to adopt an attitude of zero tolerance
for youth smoking and underage tobacco sales . Refusing to sell
tobacco products to minors needs to be a community "norm" not the
exception. We ask you as the city council to support enforcement
of our local tobacco ordinance -- to give the same level of
attention to illegal tobacco sales as you would to other license
violations . We are not asking for prison sentences , but
meaningful penalties that will reflect the community' s willingness
to stand behind the laws they adopt . If meaningful consequences ,
i . e . fines and/or license suspensions are not given, the attitude
that I recently heard from a Shakopee minor who smokes will
continue--"What ' s the big deal? We can buy cigarettes in this town
and nobody does a thing about it . They sell it to kids . We buy
it . And nobody cares . " Merely giving a warning to license
holders that violate the law sends these message to our youth and
our community-- breaking the law is no big deal , it takes multiple
violations before the law is enforced, and if adults can break the
law, so can kids .
The tobacco industry has tried to pull communities in
different directions by creating a values conflict between the
health of our kids and the need for immediate profit . Our
community needs to work together to protect our children by
controlling the accessibility of tobacco products rather than
allowing the tobacco industry to be in the driver ' s seat.
Hats off to those retailers who took control and complied
with our local ordinance and the Minnesota State Statute by
refusing to sell tobacco to minors ! We hope you as city council
members will send a strong message of support to those businesses ,
and an equally strong message , through consequences to those who
sold. Your leadership with this issue will have an impact on the
health and well -being of the youth in our community . Thank you.
Sincerely,

Assisting Community Acts Minnesota
for a Tobacco Free En • • SIST
he Minnesota ASSIST Positio
Preventing Youth Access
youth have easy access to tobacco. In many locales,there is continued apathy
among community members about flagrant violations of the tobacco age-of-
sale law. It is critical that the community send the message, especially to
merchants, that tobacco use by minors and sales to minors are totally unacceptable.
Parents, merchants, and all community members must ensure that the issue of
tobacco sales to youth is taken seriously. Most minors who smoke purchase their
own tobacco.'Therefore, if we are ever to make a dent in the youth rates of tobacco
use,we must stop the supply of tobacco to youth.
The most effective way to reduce youth access to tobacco is to institute on-going
monitoring of merchant compliance with the age-of-sale law by conducting youth
purchase attempts.This is accomplished through city ordinances which require _
licensing and establish licensing fees and fines to provide funding for compliance
checks. Merchant education, signs, pledges, and pamphlets help with a comprehen-
sive approach, but are woefully inadequate as a program by themselves if compliance
checks are absent. Routine compliance checks are a crucial component of any
community's tobacco licensing program.Without them, there is no way to monitor
whether licensing laws are being followed.2
Tobacco vending machines are another point of easy access of tobacco for youth.
Minnesota ASSIST supports communities to implement a total ban on tobacco
vending machines. Placing machines where they are supposedly under supervision
or providing them with locking devices is not effective. Policies banning tobacco
vending machines can reduce youth access to tobacco, and adults will find little
inconvenience by purchasing tobacco over the counter.
Minnesota ASSIST coalitions must educate the community that health advocates
are at issue with the tobacco industry, not people who smoke.The ASSIST approach
to youth access is consistent with a core principle of the project: people who smoke
are never blamed or attacked. It is the tobacco industry that encourages weak poli-
cies, ineffective training for clerks, unmonitored merchant pledges, and so forth. It is
the tobacco industry that continues to cloud the real issue by shifting the responsi-
bility of youth access to tobacco onto youth rather than the adults who sell the
tobacco. Each day, 3,000 young people begin using tobacco.' Preventing youth
access to tobacco is an essential strategy in preventing lifetime addiction to tobacco.

outh Access to Tobacco
> Each day, the tobacco industry must recruit over 3,000 youth to begin
using tobacco to replace those people who either die or quit smoking.'
State and national smoking rates suggest that the tobacco industry is
succeeding in recruiting our nation's youth. Since 1980, daily tobacco use
among U.S. high school students has not declined.2 According to the
1992 Minnesota Student Survey, 22% of high school seniors use tobacco
daily, a percentage unchanged from 1989.3
> Boys are at a particularly high risk for using smokeless tobacco. In a
University of Minnesota study, 44% of 8th, 9th and 10th grade boys
reported using smokeless tobacco.4
> Although it is now illegal in all states to sell tobacco to minors,children
and adolescents have easy access to tobacco products. Studies in Minne-
sota have shown that 84% of girls and 59% of boys can easily purchase
tobacco over the counter.'Vending machines are an even easier source:
89% of girls and 75% of boys successfully bought cigarettes.6
> Youth are well aware of the easy availability of tobacco. 88%of 16-17
year-olds who do not smoke believe it would be easy for them to get
cigarettes.'
Most people who smoke begin smoking during childhood or adolescence.
The average age people first try smoking is 14.5 years, and 88% of persons
who have ever tried a cigarette have done so by age 18. 71% of those
adults who currently smoke every day started smoking by age 18.$
> The powerful effects of nicotine take hold very quickly. 63% of teenagers
who smoke consider themselves to be addicted.9
70% of teenagers who smoke regret that they ever started, 64% have tried
to quit, and 49% have tried to quit within the last six months.9
> Although all states prohibit the sale of tobacco to minors, the Inspector
General found in 1992 that only two states were enforcing their access
laws statewide.10 Minnesota is not one of those two states.

> It has been estimated that minors consume 26 million containers of smoke-
less tobacco annually.'
> 12% of 12th-grade males in Minnesota use smokeless tobacco daily.2 In a
University of Minnesota study, 44% of 8th, 9th and 10th grade boys
reported having used smokeless tobacco more than five times.'
> In 1986, the Surgeon General concluded that smokeless tobacco is not a
safe substitute for cigarette smoking, can cause oral cancers, and can lead to
nicotine addiction and dependence.4
52% of Minnesota students surveyed who use smokeless tobacco said that it
was not difficult to purchase smokeless tobacco.'
> 81% of youth regard smokeless tobacco to be"much safer than cigarettes."5
The inaccurate perception of smokeless tobacco as "safe" may lead adoles-
cents to start using tobacco products and parents to allow this behavior.6
Of adolescent males who use smokeless tobacco:
93% said their parents knew of their smokeless tobacco use;
68% said their fathers either approved of or were neutral toward their
smokeless tobacco use;
87% listed their home as a setting where they regularly used smokeless
tobacco;
43%whose dentist knew of their use were not advised by him/her to
quit.'
> The tobacco industry has targeted male adolescents with its smokeless
tobacco advertising. Following a major advertising and promotional cam-
paign in the 1970s which targeted "beginners," there was a major increase
in smokeless tobacco use among young males.'
> According to two chemists, the United States Tobacco Company has added
chemicals to increase the levelof nicotine that is released in its snuff.9 This
company produces Copenhagen and Skoal, the most popular brands among
adolescents who use smokeless tobacco.10

AIndeed it is illegal in Minnesota for minors to

light of the fact that the law enforcement and
criminal justice systems are already overbur-
dened, it is much more effective, and saves time
and dollar resources, to eliminate the source of
the tobacco.Administrative penalties and fines
should be imposed on merchants who sell to
minors.This method is less time consuming
and less costly than imposing criminal penalties
on youth.

325E.075. SALE OF TOBACCO BY VENDING MACHINE
Subdivision 1. Definition. For purposes of this section, "tobacco" has the
meaning given the term in section 609.685.
Subd. 2. Prohibition. Tobacco may be offered for sale or sold in this state by or
from a vending machine or appliance or any other medium, device, or object, designated
or used for vending purposes only in the following locations:
(1)in an area within a factory, business, office, or other place not open to the
general public or to which persons under 18 years of age are not generally permitted
access;
(2)in an on-sale alcoholic beverage establishment or an off-sale liquor store, if:

outer waiting area, or similar unmonitored area; and it must be inaccessible to the public
when the establishment is closed; and
(ii) it must be operable only by activation of an electronic switch operated
by an employee of the establishment before each sale, or by insertion of tokens provided
by an employee of the establishment before each sale.
Subd. 3. Local regulation. The governing body of a local unit of government
may adopt rules or ordinances relating to vending machine sale of tobacco that are more
restrictive than the restrictions imposed by this section.
NOTES ON DECISIONS
1. Validity
The police power of the legislature, as exercised through statutes like 617:64 (repealed;
see, now, this section) relating to use of tobacco by minors, have never been successfully
questioned; both the state and its municipalities have a wide discretion in resorting to
that power for the purpose of preserving public health, safety, and morals, or abating
public nuisances. State v Crabtree Co., 1944. 218 Minn 36, 15 N.W.2d 98.
2. Sale to minors
Proprietor of establishment accepts the responsibility under subd. 2 of this section when
he places or permits cigarette vending machines in his establishment regardless of
whether the person was aware that minors might purchase by and through the machine.
Op.Atty.Gen., 829c-2 Dec. 13, 1966.

325.E07. CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINES,NOTICE RELATING TO SALES
Subdivision 1. In a conspicuous place on each cigarette vending machine in use
within the state, there shall be posted, and kept in easily legible form and repair, by the

age which shall be printed in bold type letters each of which shall be at least one-half
inch high and which shall read as follows:
"Any Person Under 18 Years of Age is Forbidden By Law To Purchase
Cigarettes From This Machine."
Subd. 2. Any owner, any lessee, and any person having control of any cigarette
vending machine which does not bear the warning required by this section shall be

Subdivision 1. [Repealed, 1987 c 399 s 5]
Subd.2. [Repealed, 1987 c 399 s 5]
Subd.3. Legislative intent. Because the state prohibits both the use of tobacco
products by minors and the furnishing of tobacco products to minors, and because the
enforcement of an age-related restriction on the promotional distribution of tobacco
products is impractical and ineffective, it is the intent of the legislature to control the
distribution of these products and discourage illegal activity by prohibiting all
promotional distribution, except as allowed in this section.
Subd. 4. Prohibition. No person shall distribute smokeless tobacco products or
cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, or other tobacco products suitable for smoking, except
that single serving samples of tobacco may be distributed in tobacco stores. 3

Media Bites
Kids will get access to tobacco until the law effectively bites the hands that
feed them cigarettes.
Pharmacists who sell drugs that heal are licensed to make sure that drugs
don't get into the wrong hands; shouldn't vendors who sell cigarettes that
kill be licensed to make sure that they don't get sold to kids?

Citizen Action: WhatY ou can do to
preventyouth outh access
The following activities may be used as ways to educate and organize the
community.These are not stand-alone activities, but they can be used as a
component to a larger tobacco policy change project. Specific policy
actions are listed below, in the second section of this handout.
Activities
Monitor tobacco sales to minors.
This is done by conducting youth purchase attempts,or "compliance checks."This
is a good community organizing project which helps to identify the problem in
local terms. It can be done in a positive manner so that neither the clerk who sold
nor the merchant is identified(For information about compliance checks,contact
the Minnesota ASSIST Project at 612/623-5356).
Testify at city council meetings.
Youth and adults can participate by offering testimony to city councils about youth
access.Young people can bring an especially powerful message by explaining their
participation and the results of local compliance checks.
Conduct a youth campaign to ask merchants not to sell to minors and post
youth designed signs.
This is another potential community organizing activity.Youth are attractive to
local media and can be used to help deliver a message to the community about the
urgency to stop merchants from selling tobacco to children.
Encourage merchants to eliminate tobacco from their stores.
While we would encourage all merchants to eliminate addictive, deadly products
from their stores, it is an especially positive move for pharmacies. Pharmacists are
in the health care profession and to sell a product that kills when used as directed is
in direct conflict with the basic tenets of the profession.
Educate merchants about youth access and age-of-sale laws.
Merchant education alone is ineffective and must be accompanied by regular
monitoring of compliance with the tobacco age-of-sale law.This activity can be
useful to inform merchants about the gravity of youth access to tobacco, provide
information about the age-of-sale law,and encourage merchants to join the
community in supporting stricter enforcement.While initially merchants may
show some interest in addressing youth access issues,typically they become
organized by the tobacco industry and work against the very policy that would
reduce access and deal with the merchants who do sell.
Page 1 of 2- Citizen Action m Prrvent}bush Access
Provide positive PR for those merchants who don't sell tobacco to minors.
By recognizing those merchants who don't sell tobacco to children, you show that
you are interested in working with them. In addition, most merchants are
appreciative of some positive, free advertising!This strategy may also serve as an
organizing theme by alerting the community that there are other merchants who
do sell tobacco to children.
Policy Actions
Coalitions and community members may work toward implementing the following
policies through local ordinances.
Eliminate self-service of tobacco. Restrict tobacco sales to behind-the-counter
only.
By requiring clerk-assisted sales of tobacco, theft may be reduced.This policy may
also serve as a reminder to the clerk to check IDs and discourage youth from
attempting to buy tobacco.
Eliminate vending machines.
Younger children are most likely to use vending machines as a source of tobacco
because it is a less intimidating way to purchase the product than by facing a clerk.'
Alternatives, such as locking devices and requiring the machines to be placed in the
view of an employee, do not work. Restrictions on vending machines are widely
supported, and adults should not feel any inconvenience by purchasing tobacco
from a clerk.
Increase(or implement) tobacco license fees to support routine compliance
checks of all tobacco vendors.
The only way to ensure compliance with the age-of-sale law is to implement an on-
going compliance check program. Education alone does not work Communities
should charge tobacco license fees in amounts that will fund compliance checks.
Civil penalties, including fines and tobacco license suspension or revocation,
should be imposed upon merchants who sell tobacco to minors?
Restrict tobacco sales to carton-only.
This policy is a good way to help reduce youth access to tobacco because youth
generally do not have the disposable income available to pay for a whole carton of
cigarettes.
Restrict types of outlets and reduce numbers.
Communities can more easily monitor compliance with the tobacco age-of-sale law
by restricting the types and the numbers of tobacco outlets.

Findings
The City Council of XYZ fmds and declares that:
• The Surgeon General has determined that cigarette smoking is
dangerous to human health;
• The National Institute on Drug Abuse has found that cigarette
smoking precedes and may be predictive,of adolescent illicit
drug use;
• It is in the best interests of the children of this community to
protect them from becoming addicted to a life-threatening drug;
and
• Open display makes tobacco products easier to shoplift and
therefore more accessible to persons under age 18 (eighteen).
The enactment of this ordinance directly pertains to and is in
furtherance of the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents
of the city,particularly those residents under 18 (eighteen)years -
of age. From community Tobacco Control:

Bloomington
Purpose
•
The city council fmds that substantial scientific evidence exists that
the use of tobacco products causes cancer,heart disease, and various
other medical disorders. The city council adopts the conclusions of
the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse that the
majority of the four hundred-seventeen thousand(417,000)
Americans who die each year from cigarette smoking become
addicted to nicotine as adolescents before the age of legal consent
and that cigarette smoking precedes and may be predictive of
adolescent illicit drug use. It is the further finding of the city
council that the present legislative scheme of prohibiting sales of
tobacco products to persons under the age of eighteen(18)has
proven ineffective in preventing such persons from using tobacco
products. The city council has concluded that minors have ready
access to vending machines selling tobacco products and that the
prohibition of the sale or dispensing of tobacco products through
vending machines will thereby promote the health, safety and
welfare of the residents of the city,particularly those residents under
eighteen(18)years of age.
Definitions
Tobacco products means any substance containing tobacco leaf,
including,but not limited to cigarettes,cigars,pipe tobacco, snuff,
chewing tobacco or dipping tobacco.
Prohibited Sales
No person shall sell,offer for sale,give away or deliver any tobacco
product to any person under the age or eighteen(18)years. No
person shall sell or dispense any tobacco product though the use of a
vending machine.
Penalty
Violation of any provision of this division shall be a misdemeanor.

MEMO TO: Barry Stock,Acting City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney,Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Meadows 4th Addition,Lot 1 & 2
Block 5,Authorization of Condemnation Proceedings
DATE: February 28, 1996
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 4406, which authorizes condemnation proceedings for
drainage easements on Lots 1 & 2, Block 5, Meadows 4th Addition.
BACKGROUND:
Drainage easements are necessary on the above referenced lots associated with ponding
on the Upper Valley Drainageway (U.V.D.) in the Meadows Subdivision. At the January
16, 1996 Council meeting, alternatives were discussed on obtaining the drainage
easements. The developer, (Novak-Fleck) and its engineer (Pioneer Engineering) have
the burden of acquiring the easements.
Negotiations have been on going since November 15, 1994 and at the January 16, 1996
Council meeting, the continued negotiations, mediation and litigation alternatives were
discussed. Council directed staff to continue to facilitate the negotiations between the
Petrills and Pioneer Engineering and to pursue obtaining the drainage easements by
eminent domain proceedings.
Staff has been informed that Pioneer Engineering has made another offer to Ms. Petrill
based upon an appraisal paid for by Pioneer Engineering. Ms. Petrill has verbally
indicated that this offer is not acceptable and has requested that the City initiate eminent
domain proceedings for the drainage easements. Attached to this memo is the letter from
Ms. Petrill requesting the City to initiate eminent domain proceedings.
Staff has included a resolution which authorizes eminent domain proceedings for the City
to acquire drainage easements from Lots 1 & 2, Block 5, Meadows 4th Addition. The
City does not have an agreement with Pioneer Engineering for reimbursement of costs
associated with eminent domain proceedings. Also at the January 16, 1996 meeting, the
City Attorney had advised Pioneer Engineering that they could pursue the eminent
domain proceedings on behalf of the City, however, an agreement that Pioneer
Engineering will reimburse the City of all costs associated with the obtaining of the
easements by the power of eminent domain is necessary.
At this time no private settlement has been reached, however, negotiations are still on-
going. To resolve this issue, the City could obtain the drainage easements through
eminent domain proceedings with an agreement of cost reimbursement with Pioneer
Engineering and as approved by the City Attorney.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 4406.
2. Deny Resolution No. 4406.
3. Direct the City Attorney to obtain a cost reimbursement agreement from Pioneer
Engineering for the drainage easements identified in Resolution No. 4406.
4. Direct staff not to proceed with eminent domain proceedings until a cost
reimbursement agreement has been entered into with Pioneer Engineering.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No.'s 1, 3 and 4.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Offer Resolution No. 4406,A Resolution of the City of Shakopee,Minnesota,
Determining the Necessity for and Authorizing the Acquisition of Certain
Property by Proceedings in Eminent Domain and move its adoption, contingent
upon a cost reimbursement agreement.
2. Direct the City Attorney to obtain a cost reimbursement agreement from Pioneer
Engineering for the drainage easements identified in Resolution No. 4406.
3. Direct staff not to proceed with eminent domain proceedings until a cost
reimbursement agreement has been entered into with Pioneer Engineering

Mr. Bruce Loney
City Engineer
City of Shakopee
129 South Holmes Street
Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear Mr. Loney:
As we discussed last week, I am formally requesting the City of Shakopee to proceed with the
condemnation of a portion of my property. The latest offer I received from Pioneer Engineering
requires the taking of roughly one-third of my property at a cost far below the loss of value to my
home. Furthermore, I did not receive a drawing of the proposed easement, nor any
documentation to substantiate how this area of value was established. It is my understanding
from a conversation with Mr. Cherney that they did not have an appraiser value my property, in
fact, his company based the value on my cost to hire an attorney.
This entire process began 2 years ago in January when my brother-in-law, Bo Spurrier, asked then
City Engineer, Dave Hutton, for details of the Veirling Drive pond outlet culvert so that Bo could
determine risk to the house if the culvert designer made a mistake. Mr. Hutton did not respond
with the requested information. When the City did respond, seven months later, it was clear that
there was a serious problem. The lack of commitment shown in trying to resolve this problem has
been frustrating at the very least. I must add that my frustration turned to rage when I discovered
that other properties adjoining the pond, developed after mine, included substantially larger
easements. Given this information, it is shameful that the original mistake was not fixed before
additional properties were developed. Of course, if this been done I would not be in the position I
am today.
I have waited 2 years for a reasonable solution to this problem, and quite frankly I am loosing
patience. I would ask that proceedings begin as quickly as possible so that this matter can be
brought to resolution and I won't have to continue to carry the burden of this problem.
Sincerely,

MEMO
TO: Barry Stock,Acting City Administrator
FROM: David M.Nummer, Staff Engineer D/4A/
SUBJECT: County and State Highway Turnbacks
DATE: March 4, 1996
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Staff has received correspondence from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT)
indicating that they intend to turnback TH 300 (10th Avenue and 6th Avenue from the mall to
the prison) to the City as a City street. This turnback will require some actions by the City, and
therefore, staff is seeking Council direction on this issue.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a map showing all the proposed turnbacks for 1996. These include State turnbacks to
the City, State turnbacks to the County, and County turnbacks to the City. Some of these
turnbacks have already been addressed by the City Council, such as the Apgar Street (County
Road 77) turnback, which will occur when the Fuller Street project is complete. Others, such as
the turnback of TH 101 from the State to the County and the County turnback of 6th Avenue and
4th Avenue to the City are only proposals at this point, and no action on these proposals are
required at this time. These proposed turnbacks were included for reference and to give the "Big
Picture"view of all the proposed turnbacks to the City Council.
Typically, a turnback is a relatively simple process mainly because the City really does not have
much say in whether a road is accepted by the City or not. The issues usually involve
negotiating a payment or identifying a funding source for improving the roadway if it is in need
of repair.
The State is proposing to address the funding issue by making State Highway Turnback funds
available to the City for any projects to improve the turned back roadway in the next five years.
This is a standard policy that the State uses for all turnbacks.
In addition to the funding issue, the turnback of TH 300 from the State also involves another
issue. A portion of this roadway is in Jackson Township and would have to be annexed by the
City in order for the turnback to occur. The alternative, if the City does not pursue annexation, is
for the State to turnback the roadway and have the County assume ownership of the portion
which is outside the City limits and the City would take over the remainder. This is cumbersome
from a maintenance and operational standpoint and the State has indicated that they would prefer
h:\council\turnback.mo
to turn the entire roadway back to the City, rather than splitting the ownership between the City
and County.
Attached is a map showing the roadway area that could be annexed, if the City Council chose to
do so. There is also a small triangular land area north of TH 300 that is in Jackson Township,
that is surrounded on two sides by the City and on the third side by TH 169. The City has not as
of yet approached Jackson Township regarding this small area, but this is an option that is
available to the City Council and it may be an appropriate time to discuss the future of this area
with the Township.
In addition, the concept plan for the Shakopee Town Square Mall expansion included the
possibility of realigning 10th Avenue (TH 300) south to intersect with the future Vierling Drive
and eliminating the current intersection with TH 169. This existing intersection is very
dangerous and reconfiguring this area would probably be in the City's best interests. This
possible reconfiguration would be much easier to accomplish if the roadway was under City
control and not split between the City and the County.
The State has requested that the City review this issue and begin any necessary process for
accepting the turnback. The turnback of TH 300 must be addressed by the State prior to any
turnback of TH 169 to the County. This turnback on TH 169 to the County is scheduled to be
addressed when the Shakopee Bypass has been completed,which is expected to occur this fall.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct staff to begin discussions with Jackson Township regarding the annexation of TH 300.
2. Direct staff to begin discussions with Jackson Township regarding the annexation of TH 300
and the triangular land area north of TH 300.
3. Do not pursue any annexation at this time.
4. Table for additional information from staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends either Alternative No.'s 1 or 2, depending on whether the City Council wishes
to explore the possibility of annexation of land area outside the road right of way. Staff
recommends annexation of the roadway, at a minimum, to facilitate the turnback of TH 300.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Discuss and provide direction to staff on this issue.

RE: Termination of Probationary Status -Paul Bilotta
DATE: March 7, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The probationary period for the Community Development Director position held by Mr. Paul
Bilotta expires on March 3rd. Staff is recommending that Mr. Bilotta's probationary status be
terminated at this time.
BACKGROUND:
On September 3rd, the Shakopee City Council appointed Paul Bilotta to the Planning Director
position. On December 19, 1995 the Shakopee City Council changed the position classification
title of the Planning Director position to Community Development Director. Since the position
classification change merely presented a new title with no change in job duties and responsibilities,
the original probationary starting date of September 3rd was maintained.
Mr. Bilotta's job performance during the past six months has been outstanding. Staff is therefore
recommending that his probationary status be terminated at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to terminate Paul Bilotta's probationary status.
2. Extend Mr. Bilotta's probationary status another six months.
3. Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to terminate Paul Bilotta's probationary status.

RE: Community Center Walking Track-Handicap Accessibility
DATE: March 7, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Since the opening of the Community Center, staff has received several questions regarding
handicap accessibility to the walking track. Staff would like to inform City Council of the process
that was undertaken in constructing the Civic Center and determining ADA compliance. If City
Council believes that additional action should be taken, it would be appropriate to direct staff
accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
During the construction of the Community Center Project, the issue of providing handicap
accessibility to the walking track was discussed. Attached is a correspondence from Mr. Paul
Dahlberg, Project Architect outlining the issues that were addressed prior to proceeding with
construction. Staff would like to point out that it was a conscious decision by the project
architect and the design review team to not make the upper level walking track handicap
accessible since the lower level gym perimeter could also be utilized for walking. The American
with Disability Act does not require every aspect of a facility to be handicap accessible. The Act
specifically states that if direct handicap accessibility can not be provided that reasonable
accommodations be made else where in a facility to provide a similar and like activity. Mr.
Dahlberg notes in his correspondence that the gymnasium is available for walking underneath the
elevated track. This meets the intent of ADA.
Mr. Dahlberg notes that there are several options available to the City if it is a desire of City
Council to make the walking track directly handicap accessible. This is a policy decision for
Council consideration. The City Attorney and the Project Architect believe that we currently
comply with ADA regulations. In the event that a ADA lawsuit was brought against the City, it is
unclear who would be liable for defending the claim. It is the opinion of the City Attorney that
the architect would be liable for any claim. However, given the fact that ADA regulations are not
a part of State Building Code, it maybe unclear whether or not the architect would actually be
responsible.
Mr. Dahlberg has prepared cost estimates for several options that are available to the City should
Council select to proceed with making the walking track accessible. If Council selects to pursue
accessibility, there are adequate funds remaining in the overall TIF Community Center Project
Fund to cover these costs.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Take no action.
2. Authorize the appropriate City officials to take the necessary steps to construct an
elevated ramp providing handicap accessibility to the walking track with funding to be
allocated from the Community Center TIF Project Fund.
3. Authorize the appropriate City officials to take the necessary steps to construct a chair lift
which would provide handicap accessibility to the walking track with funding to be
allocated from the Community Center TIF Project Fund.
4. Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Take no action.

Subject: Shakopee Civic Center
Dear Barry;
In response to your request to provide product and cost data relative to the possible
installation of a vertical lift or elevator to provide handicap access to the elevated
walking track, the following is provide for your consideration.
As you are aware, the Shakopee Civic Center was designed to meet the requirements of
the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the intent of the American's with Disabilities Act
(ADA). As facility designers, Architects and Engineers are required to design buildings
to conform to building codes. As the ADA is not a building code, but a civil rights law,
we utilize the guidelines that are identified in the ADA to advise building owner's on the
options that can be considered to provide fair and reasonable accommodations for
accessibility in buildings. During the design and construction phases of the project,
numerous discussions occurred between project team members regarding meeting the
requirements of the UBC and ADA.
The walking track was incorporated into the project at a very late date in the process.
The decision to provide stair access only to the walking track resulted primarily due to
construction budget constraints. The discussion regarding ADA and providing elevator
or lift access resulted in a compromise solution that required designating a walking track
around the perimeter of the gymnasium on the lower level, which does have elevator
access. The divider curtain in the gym was held back and not extended below the upper
walking track to allow a continuous uninterrupted flow. By providing accommodations
for walking on both levels, it was resolved that the intent of the ADA guidelines would
be met. Additionally, the construction of an elevator for walking track access was
considered with respect to any future expansion that may occur to the building. Future
expansion of the recreation facilities are anticipated to occur to the east and utilize the
corridor that now ends at the stair to the walking track. Construction of an elevator
could occur along the corridor extension and on the east side of the gymnasium.
If alternative provisions are to be considered at this time in lieu of when future
construction might occur, there may be three options that the City could consider to
provide wheelchair and/or handicap access to the walking track.

1. Construction of an elevator on the east side of the gym in the
north east corner, outside the gym wall could be done at any
time and not part of future expansion. Potential costs for
this option could range from between $75,000 and $85,000.
2. Installation of a vertical platform type lift at the end of the
corridor from the upper level floor to the walking track
between the stair and the north wall of the corridor might be
possible. My research has indicated that there may be
difficulties with this type of lift since they typically require a
straight pass thru and not a 90 degree turn that would be
required with this option. Potential costs for this option
could range from between $10,000 to $25,000 depending
upon complexities that may be encountered.
3. Installation of an inclined platform lift along the side of the
stair to the walking track could be considered. This type of
wheelchair access would allow use of the stair when the lift is
not in use by means of a fold up platform. Code issues will
need to be review with this option to assure that exit
requirements for the walking track are maintained. Potential
costs for this option could range from between $10,000 to
$15,000.
I trust that this information will be useful to you as you consider options for providing
access to the walking track. If I can be of further assistance with this matter, do not
hesitate to contact me.

RE: Met Council Transit Agreement
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The City of Shakopee receives transit funding assistance to operate the Dial-A-Ride and Van Pool
Programs from the Metropolitan Council. Each year, the City is required to execute a funding
assistance agreement by and between the Metropolitan Council and the City of Shakopee.
BACKGROUND:
This year the Metropolitan Council is proposing several minor changes in the transit service
funding assistance agreement as compared to previous years. Most notably, the agreement is
ongoing. In other words, we will not have to take action every year to renew the agreement.
Other differences compared to previous years are insignificant. The agreement that is being
proposed is nearly identical to the agreements in place for the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority
and the Southwest Metro Transit Commission. Failure to execute the grant agreement would
jeopardize funding for our transit operations. If any Councilmember is interested in reviewing the
entire agreement, a copy is available in the office of the Acting City Administrator. The City
Attorney will also review and approve the contract as to form prior to execution.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the Transit Services Funding Assistance
Agreement by and between the Metropolitan Council and the City of Shakopee.
2. Do not authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the Transit Services Funding
Assistance Agreement by and between the Metropolitan Council and the City of
Shakopee.
3. Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.

SUBJECT: Stop Sign Warrant Studies
DATE: February 26, 1996
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Attached for City Council consideration are the results of stop sign warrant studies for the
following intersections:
• 10th Avenue and Sibley Street
• 10th Avenue and Ramsey Street
• 10th Avenue and Swift Street
• 10th Avenue and Miller Street
• 10th Avenue and Merrifield Street
• 10th Avenue and Shakopee Avenue
• Shakopee Avenue and Dakota Street
• 12th Avenue and Polk Street
These studies were previously ordered by the City Council per the City Code. The installation or
removal of any traffic regulatory signs must be authorized by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The placement of stop signs is regulated by the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MMUTCD), which has specific criteria that must be met for an intersection to meet
"warrants" for a multi-way stop sign installation. The warrant criteria are widely used and
accepted by virtually all cities in the Twin Cities Metro region.
The criteria for a multi-way stop sign installation are attached as background information. The
criteria are summarized below. If any one of the criteria is satisfied, the intersection is said to
warrant a multi-way stop sign installation.
1. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, a multi-way stop is an interim
measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made
for signal installation.
h:\council\stop.mo
2. An accident problem, as indicated by five or more reported accidents of a type susceptible
to correction by a multi-way stop sign installation in a 12 month period. Such accidents
include right and left turn collisions as well as right angle collisions.
3. Minimum traffic volumes:
a) The total volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at
least 500 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day, and
b) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street must
average at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hour period, with an average
delay of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour,but
c) When the 85 percentile approach speed of the major street exceed 40 MPH, the
minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70%of the above requirements.
Of the intersections which were studied, none of them are scheduled for traffic signals so the first
criteria does not apply to any of them.
An accident history for each intersection was requested from the Shakopee Police Department.
Only one accident was reported in the last 12 months at the intersection of 10th Avenue and
Sibley Street. No accidents were reported for any of the other intersections. The accident history
for these intersections does not form the basis for stop sign warrants.
The traffic volumes at each intersection were counted over a three day period and averaged to
obtain average hourly volumes. The volumes were then combined into the total from all
approaches and the total from the minor street. These totals were compared to the minimum
values of 500 vehicles per hour for an 8 hour period for the total of all approaches and 200
vehicles per hour for the same 8 hours for the minor street. The average hourly volumes and
totals are attached for reference.
None of the nine intersections which were studied met the requirements for traffic volume. The
maximum volume from all approaches was 171 vehicles per hour at the intersection of Shakopee
Avenue and Dakota Street. This is substantially less than the 500 vehicle per hour criteria. The
maximum volume from the minor street of 53 vehicles also occurred at the intersection of
Shakopee Avenue and Dakota Street,which does not meet the 200 vehicle per hour criteria.
The result of the warrant studies is that none of the intersections met the requirements for a
multi-way stop sign installation.
The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices does allow for installation of two
way stop signs or stop signs on one leg of a three way intersection (such as Pierce Street and
Thomas Avenue). These stop sign installations are allowed in the following circumstances:
1. At the intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal
right of way rule is unduly hazardous.
2. At a street entering a through highway or street.
h:\council\stop.mo
3. At an unsignalized intersection in a signalized area.
4. At other intersections where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious
accident record indicates a need for control by a stop sign.
The intersections along 10th Avenue appear to satisfy the first condition where a minor street
intersects with a main road (collector street) and would warrant two way stop signs on the minor
streets. Staff is also recommending that a stop sign be installed on 10th Avenue at Shakopee
Avenue. At this location, Shakopee Avenue is the dominant roadway and the traffic on 10th
Avenue (the minor street) should be stopped. The Police Department has also recommended
stop signs on those streets intersecting 10th Avenue.
The intersection of Shakopee Avenue and Dakota street currently has yield signs on Dakota
Street and no traffic control on Shakopee Avenue. This intersection had the highest overall
traffic counts on the intersections which were studied and staff is recommending that the existing
yield signs be replaced with stop signs. This recommendation is based on Conditions 1 and 4
above. Shakopee Avenue, while not a collector street, has a significant traffic volume and as
such warrants stop signs on the minor street (Dakota). In addition, the proximity of this
intersection to Pearson Elementary School warrants stop signs under Condition 4.
The intersection of 12th Avenue and Polk Street also appears to meet Condition 1 where a main
street (12th Avenue) intersects a minor roadway (Polk Street) and would warrant stop signs on
Polk Street. This intersection currently has stop signs on Polk Street and staff is recommending
that the traffic control in this intersection remain unchanged at this time.
The intersection of Pierce Street and Thomas Avenue is a three way intersection in a residential
neighborhood. At this time, this intersection only receives local traffic from the blocks to the
south. The traffic counts in this area were very low, with a peak hour volume of 40 vehicles.
This intersection does not appear to meet any of the stop sign warrant criteria and due to the low
volume of traffic and the lack of through traffic in this area, staff would recommend that no
traffic control be installed at this time.
Traffic Speed Issues
There is a common perception that stop signs help to reduce traffic speeds. This is only true at
the sign location where traffic is slowing down to a stop, or accelerating from a stop. Several
nation wide studies have shown that stop signs do not reduce mid block speeds and installing
unwarranted and unnecessary traffic control may actually increase mid block speeds as drivers
attempt to make up for"lost time" spent at the stop signs.
h:\council\stop.mo
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct staff to install stop signs on the minor street approaches to 10th Avenue, between
Marschall Road and Shakopee Avenue, and on 10th Avenue at the intersection with
Shakopee Avenue.
2. Direct staff to remove the yield signs on Dakota Street at Shakopee Avenue and replace them
with stop signs.
3. Direct staff to install stop signs in other locations as determined by the City Council.
4. Table for additional information from staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No.'s 1 and 2.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Move to direct staff to install stop signs on the minor street approaches to 10th Avenue,
between Marschall Road and Shakopee Avenue, and on 10th Avenue at the intersection with
Shakopee Avenue.
2. Move to direct staff to remove the yield signs on Dakota Street at Shakopee Avenue and
replace them with stop signs.

MEMO TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Lease Agreement 213 East 1st Avenue(Country Collections)
DATE: February 27, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The City has secured acquisition of a property located at 213 East 1st Avenue.
Country Collections currently occupies the space in the majority of the building. It would
be appropriate at this time to authorize the appropriate City officials to prepare and
execute a lease agreement by and between Country Collections and the City of Shakopee.
BACKGROUND:
On February 6, 1996 the City secured acquisition of the property located at 213
East 1st Avenue. This transaction included the assignment of the lease for the building.
During the week of February 26, 1996, I had the opportunity to meet with representatives
from Country Collections to discuss the terms of their lease agreement. I also had the
opportunity to speak with the previous property owner to ascertain the lease conditions.
The representatives from Country Collections have agreed to a lease payment in
the amount of$830.00 per month for the facility. Country Collections shall also be
responsible for covering the cost of all utilities for said building. The terms of the lease
arrangement would be similar to those executed on other properties that we are currently
acquiring(month to month automatically renewable). The lease agreement would also
provide for a 30 day termination provision upon written notice by either party.
Staff is seeking Council authorization to proceed as stated herein.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize the appropriate City officials to prepare and execute a lease agreement
by and between the City of Shakopee and Country Collections for the space
located at 213 East 1st Avenue at a monthly rental rate of$830.00 with the tenant
to be responsible for all utilities.
2. Do not authorize the appropriate City officials to prepare and execute a lease
agreement by and between the City of Shakopee and Country Collections.
3. Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the appropriate City officials to prepare and execute a lease agreement
by and between the City of Shakopee and Country Collections for the space located at 213
East 1st Avenue at a monthly rental rate of$830.00 with the tenant to be responsible for
all utilities.

MEMO TO: Barry Stock,Acting City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney,Public Works Director tat. .
SUBJECT: Consultant Selection Process
DATE: March 7, 1996
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The Engineering Department is submitting a final recommendation on the engineering
consultant selection process for Council approval.
BACKGROUND:
On February 6, 1996, the City Council directed staff to solicit Statements of
Qualifications (SOQ) from engineering firms for the purpose of retaining general
municipal engineering consultants to supplement the City Engineering staff. A total of
eight firms submitted SOQ for consideration. Scott County was sent a letter requesting
am SOQ as directed by Council. Scott County chose not to submit an SOQ at this time.
(See Attachment No. 1).
A Selection Committee comprised of the Acting City Administrator, Public Works
Director and Engineering staff members was formed to review and rank the SOQ's.
In the SOQ request letter to consultants and Scott County, the City was asking for
qualifications and experience in the following areas:
• General Municipal Engineering(Including Project Design and Surveying Services)
• Transportation Engineering and Transportation Planning
• Landscaping,Urban Design and Urban Planning
• Surface Water Resources Engineering
• Geographic Information Systems(GIS)
• Public Works Professional Service
The main purpose of selecting consultants is to assist the Engineering Department in its
needs such as surveying of public improvement projects, specialized engineering
expertise such as stormwater management and traffic engineering, project design when
staff is unable to do a project.
After reviewing the SOQ's, the Engineering Department selected to interview the
following four firms:
1. WSB &Associates, Inc. (WSB)
2. MSA Consulting Engineers, Inc. (MSA)
3. Bolton& Menk, Inc. (BMI)
4. Reike, Carroll Muller,Inc. (RCM)
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
After the interviews and further review of the SOQ's and reference checks, Engineering
staff ranked the firms for the engineering service area being requested by staff. The top
firms for each category is as follows:
Engineering Service Category Firm#1 Firm#2 Firm#3
1. General Municipal Engineering WSB MSA BMI
2. Traffic Engineering WSB BMI RCM
3. Landscaping Urban Design SEH RCM OSM
&Redevelopment
4. Surface Water Resources WSB BMI SEH
5. GIS MSA SEH BMI
6. Public Works Professional Service MSA BMI SEH
In addition to the general engineering service categories, Engineering staff requested
qualifications on specific projects engineering expertise for 1996 and they are as follows:
1. Storm Drainage Trunk Charge for New Developments
2. Transportation Signage Study
3. Transportation Analysis and Plan of Local Collectors
4. Transportation Speed Zone Study by Shakopee Schools
5. Dean's Lake Diversion Channel Study
The firm that ranked the highest for all five specific projects was WSB & Associates, Inc.
This is due their strong expertise in water resources and transportation. Their familiarity
with Shakopee and strong knowledge in these specialty areas, made them the #1 firm for
these proposed 1996 projects.
The following paragraphs are brief backgrounds of the top firms:
WSB & Associates, Inc.
Based on the SOQ submitted, WSB is a firm specializing in municipal engineering and is
particularly strong in project design, transportation and water resources and the
Engineering Department recommends utilizing this firm as the primary consultant to
assist the City in its general municipal engineering needs, stormwater hydraulics and
transportation engineering. Most of the company's personnel worked for OSM, the
City's current main consultant and have done extensive work in the City of Shakopee.
Based on the fact that this company has good knowledge of the City of Shakopee area,
standards, policies and ordinances and that the hourly rates of the principal individuals
who will be involved have a 10% to 15% lower rate than OSM, this firm was ranked #1
through the Statement of Qualifications review and interviews. This firm uses a
subconsultant, Peters, Price & Samson (PPS) of Savage, MN for surveying work. Staff
checked references and received excellent recommendations from this firm's clientele.
WSB engineers have extensive experience in the City's stormwater management plan
since they prepared the plan while at OSM. Also they have experience in transportation
systems for Mn/DOT, Counties and other Cities. Staff feels the engineering level of
service from WSB will be equal to the past consultant and at a lower cost based upon
review of fee schedules.
MSA Consulting Engineers, Inc.
MSA ranked first in the areas of sanitary sewer system, GIS coordination between City
and County and public works professional services. MSA can also provide project design
and surveying services as they have six survey crews and three registered land surveyors.
The company is located in St. Paul with a field office in Prior Lake. MSA is working in
the Cities of Eagan, Burnsville, Prior Lake and Savage,thus the location of the firm in St.
Paul is not a factor.
The proposed principal in charge for MSA to Shakopee will be Steve Gatlin. Mr. Gatlin
has worked over 15 years as a City Engineer and Director of Public Works for the Cities
of White Bear Lake and Roseville. His experience in White Bear Lake is very similar to
the current development and redevelopment issues facing Shakopee.
MSA was ranked#2 based upon the SOQ's and interviews.
Bolton & Menk, Inc.
This firm's main office is located in Mankato with a branch office in Burnsville. Their
strength is in the area of surveying services with capabilities in providing project design,
transportation and public works professional services. Many of this firm's municipal
client list are smaller Cities south of the Minnesota River and generally in the southern
Minnesota area. The City of Jordan has BMI as their consultant, for example.
Staff feels this firm should be retained due to their strength in surveying and ability to
work on smaller projects. Staff ranked this firm #3 due to its close proximity to
Shakopee with the Burnsville office and strength is surveying and smaller project design
capabilities.
OTHER ISSUES:
The purpose of soliciting SOQ's from consultants is to assist and supplement the City's
engineering basic municipal engineering needs. OSM has been the City's main
consultant for 12 years. Many of the municipal engineering personnel with OSM have
left the firm. Due to the instability of the company and personnel turnover, staff is not
recommending OSM be retained. The City does have some contract obligations on
existing projects such as 17th Avenue and Sarazin Street and C.R. 16 sanitary sewer that
should be fulfilled by OSM.
Staff did also include in the SOQ request letter, qualifications for Landscaping, Urban
Design and Urban Planning, for possible assistance in specialty projects such as
redevelopment of Blocks 3 & 4 or development of the Riverfront District. These types
of projects are best handled by large multi discipline firms that can coordinate the variety
of engineering disciplines needed for design. From the SOQ's, the firms of SEH, RCM
and OSM are large companies that have the civil, mechanical, structural, architectural and
landscaping capabilities in one firm. Engineering staff does not have a recommendation
of a particular firm for any of the aforementioned projects at this time. If Council
chooses to proceed with specialized studies in the future, SEH, RCM or OSM would be
good consultant candidates.
RECOMMENDATION:
For the City of Shakopee's Engineering Department and their engineering needs, the
Engineering Department is recommending the following:
1. The firms of WSB &Associates,Inc., MSA Consulting Engineers, Inc. and
Bolton&Menk,Inc. be prequalified to work in the City of Shakopee for a three
year period.
2. WSB &Associates,Inc. is recommended as the primary consultant for general
municipal,transportation and surface water resources.
3. MSA Consulting Engineers, Inc. is recommended as the primary consultant for
sanitary sewer, GIS coordination and public works professional services.
4. Orr-Schelen-Mayeron& Assoc., Inc. should be retained to fulfill contract
obligations and projects currently existing with the City of Shakopee.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to prequalify the consulting firms of WSB & Associates, Inc., MSA Consulting
Engineers, Inc. and Bolton&Menk,Inc. as needed.

SUBJ: TIF District Number 6
DATE: February 26, 1996
Introduction
Council is requested to consider closing TIF District Number
6 due to the minimal increment being received.
Background
TIF District number 6 is the motel/campground at First
Avenue and Marschall Road. The development planned at the
time the district was created never materialized and
therefore the anticipated increment never was realized.
Council considered closing this district a couple of years
ago when the increment being generated was about $10, 000 per
year and decided to keep it open. Currently the district is
generating about $2, 600 per year.
Council is requested to close District 6 due to the minimal
amount of increment being generated and to reduce the
administrative work associated with tax increment districts .
Closure will not affect other TIF plans or projects because
the amount is so small that it has not been included in
planning the financing for other projects.
Alternatives
1. Status Quo.
2 . Close District 6 .
Recommendation
Alternative number 2 - close TIF District #6 .
Action Requested
Move to direct staff to prepare a resolution closing TIF
District #6 .
MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorne ''',%
DATE : February 29, 1996
RE : Agreement with St . Francis
BACKGROUND:
In February 1995 the City, Shakopee Public Utilities
Commission, and St . Francis Regional Medical Center entered into an
Agreement relating to the providing of utilities to the new medical
campus . Very short deadlines for installing those utilities were
included in the Agreement, and not all of those deadlines were met .
Liquidated damages were set for failure to meet the deadlines, and
those damages are now due from the contractors who failed to
complete their work on time.
St . Francis Regional Medical Center has generously agreed to
reduce the liquidated damages to their ` actual damages for the
delays . In order to accomplish this, an amendment to their
Agreement with the City and Shakopee Public Utilities Commission is
needed. Such an amendment has been prepared, and already agreed to
by Shakopee Public Utilities Commission.
ALTERNATIVES :
1 . Enter into Addendum No. 2 to the Agreement, reducing the
damages owed to St . Francis Regional Medical Center.
2 . Do not enter into Addendum No. 2 .
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into
Addendum No. 2 to the Agreement between St . Francis Regional
Medical Center, Shakopee Public Utilities Commission, and the City.
[2 9MEMO]
ADDENDUM NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT
This Agreement made this day of 1996 , by
and among St . Francis Regional Medical Center, a Minnesota non-
profit corporation ( "SFRMC" ) , the Shakopee Public Utilities
Commission ( "SPUC" ) and the City of Shakopee, a municipal
corporation under the State of Minnesota (the "City" ) .
RECITALS
A. On February 14 , 1995, the parties hereto entered into
an Agreement regarding the provision of certain utilities to the
Medical Campus being constructed by SFRMC, which Agreement was
recorded as Document No. 349603 on March 3 , 1995 ; and
B . The Medical Campus is being constructed on Lots 1, 2 ,

C. That original Agreement was amended in Addendum No. 1
to Agreement, entered into on September 5 , 1995 ; and
D. The parties now desire to further amend that Agreement .
NOW, THEREFORE, SFRMC, SPUC, and the City agree as follows :
1 . That the Agreement dated February 14 , 1995, by and
between the parties hereto, and recorded as Document No. 349603
on March 3 , 1995, is hereby amended by deleting paragraphs
1 (c) (i) and i (c) (ii) , and replacing them with the following
paragraphs :
(i) The well (and related facilities) on the northerly SPUC
Parcel will be adequate to serve the needs of the
approximately 22, 000 square foot clinic building to be
constructed by PNMC on the Medical Campus, a separate
medical office building of up to 40, 000 square feet,
and the approximately 74 , 000 square foot hospital
building to be constructed by SFRMC on the Medical
Campus . SPUC/City will require its contractor to
complete the well and install temporary (or permanent)
pumping equipment so that it is operational no later
than May 1, 1995 ; SPUC/City will impose on the
contractor installing the well on the northerly SPUC

havinq the permanent pumping equipment operational . If
temporary pumping equipment is required to meet the May
1, 1995, date set forth above, SFRMC agrees to pay for
its installation, operation and removal . If the need
for temporary pumping equipment could be avoided by
deferring the May 1, 1995, date for a short period of
time (acceptable to SFRMC) so that the permanent
pumping equipment could be installed, SPUC/City agrees
to cooperate with SFRMC in considering whether to
proceed directly with the installation of permanent
pumping equipment, skipping altogether the installation
(and expense) of temporary pumping equipment .
(ii) SPUC/City will require its contractor to complete
construction of the combination water treatment
facility and water pressure booster station so that it
is operational no later than December 1, 1995 .
SPUC/City will impose on the contractor installing the

full force and effect .
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, St . Francis Regional Medical Center, the
Shakopee Public Utilities Commission, and the City of Shakopee
have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above
written.

MEMO TO: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
FROM: V. Paul Bilotta, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
RE: Community Development Department Staffing
INTRODUCTION:
Staff has previously brought the issue of Community Development Department staffing to
the City Council (Attachment 1), however action on this item was tabled due to the labor
issues of the past couple of months.
DISCUSSION:
Workload/Projects
Since the January 2, 1996 memo, the basic functions of the department have continued
uninterrupted (boards and commissions, plats, building permits, telephone inquiries,
meeting with citizens) although other items have been put on hold or delayed including the
following:
(Staff apologizes for the"laundry list" appearance. The intent is to provide a listing of the
general types of projects so that the City Council has an idea of the types of items the
department is involved in, not to put down a lot of items to justify any particular staffing
level. Staffing levels are a City Council policy decision related to desired
projects/priorities/service levels and staff is able and willing to respond to any City Council
policy direction in these areas.)

Uncertainties
There are some policy level uncertainties that have been raised since January 2, 1996 that
could impact staffing recommendations including the following:
Information Services: The City Council is looking at increasing the services provided by
Information Services including Internet access. This could impact workloads/staffing. In
addition, the resignation of Dave Nummer has eliminated any non-consultant backup to
the Community Development Director(in his role as the primary MIS staff person). Staff
has not been able to identify another staff member that currently has the skills to serve in
that role.
Use of Consultants: Although the City's entry level planners are exceptional given their
level of experience, the department's level of inexperience does create problems with
special projects, including long range planning etc. where there may often only be one staff
member with the expertise to do the project. If the entry level staff person option is
chosen, then there will likely be a need to use consultants more extensively for special
projects.
Reorganization Possibilities: With a new City Administrator hiring on the horizon there
is the possibility that reorganization of responsibilities/functions could occur. If more
responsibility/functions were transferred to the C.D. Dept., it may be more important to
hire a mid-level planner since the C.D. Director would be able to devote less time to
Planning issues. On the other hand, if responsibilities/functions were transferred out of the
dept. the opposite effect could occur. Either can be responded to, however, no direction
has yet been provided.
Changing of Priorities: The seated City Council has not yet had an opportunity to
provide policy direction on desired service levels/special projects for the dept. These
could impact staffing needs and composition.
Acting City Administrator Role: Currently, Barry Stock provides a key support role in
many of the functions of the CD Dept., particularly Economic Development, Community
Outreach and Transit. With the change in his duties, there will be a temporary increase in
workload for the dept.
Growth Rates: The City's MUSA line is currently frozen, however, it is hoped that this
situation will be resolved soon. The City Council may want to consider whether staffing
levels should be increased in anticipation of increased growth or whether it is best to wait
until the growth actually is realized. This is obviously a policy issue.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives in the January 2, 1996 memo are still available as is some other option
desired by the City Council.

ACTION REQUESTED:
Direct staff to take the steps neccesary to implement the City Council's preferred
alternative and move its adoption.

Memo To: Dennis Kraft,City Administrator
From: V. Paul Bilotta, Community Development Director
Meeting Date: January 2, 1996
Re: Community Development Dept. Staffing
Introduction
With the acceptance of Terrie Thurmer's resignation in December, the City Council directed staff to
initiate the process of filling the vacant position. Staff is seeking direction on the preferred approach to
fill this position.
Background
The Community Development Dept. consists of 3 major functional areas--Planning, Economic
Development and Information Services (+ other more minor functional areas—transit etc.) The
Planning and Information Services functional areas have experienced a 100% turnover of professional
staff during 1995 with only the secretary remaining from the April, 1995 staffing of 6 positions
(including the secretarial position).
In the summer of 1995,the City Council looked at reorganization of these functional areas and merged
them with Economic Development to create a Community Development Dept. As part of this process,
the five non-secretarial Planning and Information Services positions were reduced to two full-time
positions(Planner I and Planner II)and approximately 40%of the Community Development Director's
position. For cost savings purposes,the Planner II position was filled at the Planner I level.
In order to achieve the best chance of hiring quality, entry-level employees, staff recommended that the
City hire a group of interns with the understanding that they would compete for full-time position(s).
This hiring process appears to have worked well.
Discussion
The 1996 Community Development Dept. budget has a Planner I and a Planner II position budgeted
for the planning functions. The Planner I position is currently filled. This gives the City Council the
flexibility to seek a mid-level employee (Planner II) or an entry-level employee (Planner I) to achieve
cost savings. There are positives and negatives to both actions and some of the possibilities are
outlined below:
1. Hiring Planner I through the intern process employed in 1995—At the present time, the
planning functions are being handled by effective, competent, entry-level employees that are
lacking experience and therefore in a steep learning curve. Staff believes that at the present
time, productivity would not be enhanced by adding interns until the current staff is given 2-3
more months of experience. This will allow the new employees to become familiar enough
with their positions so that they can take advantage of and guide the inexperienced intern
support. In addition, the Community Development Director will have additional management
time available in March or April that is currently being expended to bring the new employees
1
up to speed. (The new employees are acquiring job knowledge/skills at a high rate for
employees right out of college. This was expected given their levels of educational
achievement and the observation of their work habits/abilities by staff during their internships.)
Since the Planning and Information Systems positions were reduced from five to two last year,
there is little"slack' in staffing, so the delay of the filling of this position will likely result in the
delay of projects that are not day-to-day or could result in the need to hire consultants to
undertake projects that the City Council determines can not be delayed. Economic
Development staff has already been transferred over to assist the Planning team, in accordance
with the Community Development Dept.'s standard backup procedures for critical functions,
so no delay has occurred to development activities.
Based on the experience from last summer and fall, this option will likely result in a large
increase in the number of weekends and late nights that will need to be worked by Community
Development staff and vacation requests will likely need to be limited. This situation is not
ideal and can not be extended indefinitely without negatively affecting productivity and morale,
but was effectively used in 1995 and should still allow maintenance of basic service levels
during the time frame proposed.
2. Hiring a Planner II: A Planner II could be hired within two months and would provide the
additional benefit of being able to provide a backup to the Community Development Director
on planning issues. A negative aspect of this alternative is that there would be a larger, long-
term cost due to the higher salary range. In addition, the reduced size of the reorganized
planning team probably does not justify a need for further hierarchy at this time and the team
could largely function over the long term as effectively with a Planner I.
3. Hiring an experienced Planner I: A Planner I could be hired within two months and would
not have the training curve of an inexperienced Planner I. The downside is that the City would
likely have to hire the employee at a higher salary level to attract an experienced Planner I. In
addition, it may be difficult to attract a good Planner I since, in general, quality planners only
stay Planner I's for 2-3 years. This makes it very difficult to find good, experienced, entry-level
planners willing to make a lateral move and there is a lot of potential to attract less desirable
candidates.
4. Do not fill this position at this time: The City Council may choose not to fill this position.
Due to the reductions in staff mentioned under# 1, there would be a need to significantly alter
service levels and/or seek assistance from other sources(consultants etc.) Without altering job
responsibilities and service levels,this option would result in only one entry-level planner being
assigned to full-time planning activities. Shakopee has not been able to do its planning with
only one full-time entry-level staff person since the 1980's when development activity was
significantly smaller (1985-63 new residential building permits; 1994--171 new residential
building permits). All indications from City and private-sector sources is that the opening of
the Bloomington Ferry Bridge is going to greatly increase the residential activity in the next 5-
2
10 years, so a return to 1985 development levels will likely not occur without strong growth
control measures imposed by the City Council.
Alternatives
1. Direct staff to delay hiring of a Planner I until spring using the internship/hiring process
employed in 1995 and adjust the Community Development work program items accordingly
and/or use consultants for specific time sensitive projects identified by the City Council on a
case by case basis.
2. Direct staff to begin the process of hiring a Planner II.
3. Direct staff to begin the process of hiring a Planner I.
4. Do not fill the vacant position and provide direction to staff on department restructuring and/or
desired levels of service with one full-time planner.
5. Table the decision and request additional information from staff.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Alternative 1, because this alternative provides the most long term benefit and the
least cost to the City and should create difficulties for only 3-6 months.
Action Requested
Offer a motion to direct staff to fill the vacant Planner I position with 2-3 interns in Spring 1996 with
the intent to fill the position with the most qualified intern, and move its approval.

RE: Community Development Dept. Staffing Comparison Chart
Staff has now received responses from the cities of Chanhassen and Savage and has
provided an updated staffing comparison chart(attached). In addition, an error was
discovered on the Eden Prairie staffing. Eden Prairie has 3 support personnel and also
uses a pool of on-call"temps" instead of 0 as shown on the chart in the packet. This
brings the total staffing in Eden Prairie up to 13.
The number of residential permits was used as a rough approximation of the amount of
development activity, which tends to be the largest use of staff time that is out of the
City's control and can be used as a measure of efficiency(see below). Other activities of
the department are more the types of activities that are fully dependent on the City
Council's desired levels of service and conditions(for instance, new plans, rewriting
codes/procedures, customer service, redevelopment activities, interaction with Met
Council/legislature, etc.)

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council //A}
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Acting City Administrator
RE: Red Cross Request to Lease Space
DATE: March 1, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The Red Cross office lease for space in the Pablo's Restaurant building expires on March 31,
1996. On Friday, March 1, Ms. Cindy Bahmer, Scott County Red Cross Branch Manager called
to determine if I was aware of any office space for rent in Shakopee. I went on to inform her of
several possible leads including the space in City Hall formerly occupied by the Recreation
Department. Ms. Bahmer expressed interest in the City Hall space and requested that I approach
Council to determine if it is available for lease.
BACKGROUND:
The recreation department office space in city hall is currently vacant. The Red Cross is currently
paying a rate of$6.75 per sq. ft. plus utilities. The space available in the former recreation office
area equates to 1,280 sq. ft. Utilizing the same rent factor being paid by the Red Cross, the
monthly lease rate for the recreation department area would equate to $720.00 per month. If
Council desires to lease the space, staff would propose that a monthly rate in the amount of
$850.00 per month be received for this space. This rate would include all utility costs with the
exception of telephone. The Red Cross would also be responsible for their own custodial costs.
The Red Cross would agree to a month to month automatically renewal lease and a 90 day
cancellation provision by either party.
After discussing this matter with the Finance Director and City Attorney, staff is proposing that
the appropriate City officials be directed to inform the Red Cross that the City is not interested in
leasing the space out at this time. The Finance Director has indicated an interest in moving to the
former recreation space. Additionally, the Scott County Joint Prosecution staff may be interested
in either the current Finance\Legal space or the former Recreation Department space. Finally,
there may be some reorganizational changes that Council may want to consider over the course of
the next three to six months that may impact our current space needs.
Staff is seeking Council direction at this time.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Respectfully inform the Scott County Red Cross that the City of Shakopee is not
interested in leasing out the recreation department space at this time.
2. Authorize the appropriate City officials to prepare and execute a lease agreement by and
between Scott County Red Cross and the City of Shakopee for the office space formerly
occupied by the recreation department in city hall at a rate of$850.00 per month all
inclusive.
3. Suggest some other space rate and terms and provide direction to staff accordingly.
4. Table action pending further information from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative#1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Respectfully inform the Scott County Red Cross that the City of Shakopee is not interested in
leasing out the recreation department space at this time.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorneef
DATE : March 6 , 1996
RE: Entry and Testing Agreement with Sprint
Telecommunications
BACKGROUND:
Sprint Telecommunications has requested permission to test the
site of a water tower to determine whether an antenna could be
installed on the water tower. They have received tentative
permission from Shakopee Public Utilities (SPUC) for this . Since
the water tower is on City land, and since it is necessary to cross
City land to get to the water tower, approval from the City Council
also is required.
As attorney for the City and for SPUC, I have reviewed the
proposed agreement . From a legal point of view, it is acceptable.
However, there are a couple of policy issues which should be noted.
The agreement gives Sprint Telecommunications permission to "make
and file applications" on behalf of the City in order to obtain the
necessary approvals and permits to install the antenna. This is
broad authority. The City Council may prefer to give authority on
a permit-by-permit basis, or may be comfortable allowing Sprint
Telecommunications to pursue its antenna testing without further
involvement from the City Council .
The agreement also gives Sprint Telecommunications permission
to enter onto the site for six months . Apparently they actually
will need to be on site less than a week, but are asking for a
longer time because they do not know precisely when they will be on
site . The City Council may be comfortable with this length of
time, or may wish to limit it .
ALTERNATIVES :
1 . Authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into an
Entry and Testing Agreement with Sprint Telecommunications .
2 . Direct that specific changes be made to the Entry and
Testing Agreement, then authorize the appropriate City officials to
enter into the revised Agreement .
3 . Do not approve the Agreement .
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide appropriate direction.

MEMO TO: Dennis R.Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Assistant Facility Manager/Recreation Programmer Position Appointment
DATE: December 21, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
On November 21st the Shakopee City Council tabled action on filling the Assistant
Facility Manager/Rec.Programmer position. This was done to allow the new Council to
become more familiar with the position and change in job duties.
BACKGROUND:
With the construction of the Community Recreation Center, staff undertook an evaluation
of the job responsibilities and experience of our current staff versus the new job
responsibilities that are associated with the management and operation of our new facility.
After thorough review, it was determined that there was a need to create a new position
that would be responsible for the management and operation of the facility as well as the
supervision of the Recreation Department staff and programs. Since none of current
Recreation Department employees had any previous experience operating a facility in the
neighborhood of 77,000 sq. ft. (including the Ice Arena), it became quite clear that we
needed to create a new position. Staff subsequently proposed the creation of the
Recreation Superintendent position which was filled in November by Mr: Ron Steilmaker.
Staff also proposed that the existing Recreation Supervisor position be eliminated and that
a new exempt position classification entitled Assistant Facility Manager/Rec. Programmer
position be created. The new position title and job description more accurately defined
the duties needed to assist in operating our new facility and coordinate our existing
recreation programs. Additionally,the creation of the new position correctly assigned a
job value and pay rate that was in compliance with our comparable worth schedule and
pay plan.
On November 14, 1995, five applicants were interviewed for the Assistant Facility
Manager/Recreation Programmer position. The interview team has setforth a ranking of
the candidates in order of preference.
The ranking method utilized herein is contrary to our typical practice of recommending
position appointments. However,this is the first case where an existing employee has
applied for a position that has been-open to outside candidates. Staff felt it was important
to give the internal candidate the greatest opportunity for consideration and therefor has
setforth the ranking method as outlined herein.
t
Following is a summary of the candidate ranking:
1. Thomas Herbst * 10+years recreation experience
* currently managing 3 indoor rink facility
* previous recreation program coordinator experience
* extensive ice facility/zamboni mechanical background
* previous indoor/outdoor swimming pool operation
experience
2. Boyd Clark * previous leisure and tourism director experience
* previous ice arena facility management experience
* previous recreation program experience
* previous indoor/outdoor pool operation experience
3. Mark McQuillan * 15 years previous recreation program and supervisor
experience - City of Shakopee
* expressed willingness to learn facility/operation issues
4. David White * previous recreation program supervisor experience
* previous ice arena facility and maintenance operation
experience
* previous aquatic facility management and program
background
5. David St. Aubin * previous recreation supervisor experience.
The salary range for the Assistant Facility Manager/Recreation Programmer position
ranges between$29,738 to $37,172. Each of the candidates noted above with the
exception of the internal candidate have expressed willingness to accept the position
appointment at step 1 of the pay range ($29,738). The internal applicant has requested the
top step of the pay range ($37,172). In conjunction with this position appointment, staff
is recommending that the existing Recreation Supervisor position classification be
eliminated consistent with the procedures setforth in the personnel policy. The current
Recreation Supervisor receives a non-exempt annual salary of$42,988. It should be noted
that the Recreation Superintendent position was recently filled at step 2 of the Recreation
Superintendent pay schedule ($40,055).
Staff is seeking direction with respect to filling the position appointment at this time. If
City Council selects to proceed with the position appointment, staff would also be
recommending that the Recreation Supervisor position be terminated effective January 19,
1996.
Following is a summary of the candidate ranking:

SUBJECT: Approval of Plans and Specifications
for 17th Avenue and Sarazin Street Improvements
Project No. 1996-1
DATE: March 4, 1996
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 4414, a resolution approving plans and specifications and
ordering advertisement for bids for 17th Avenue, from County State Aid Highway 17 to
Sarazin Street, from St. Francis Avenue to 17th Avenue, Project No. 1996-1.
BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 1995, City Council adopted Resolution No. 4357 which ordered the
improvement of 17th Avenue and Sarazin Street and the preparation of plans and
specifications for Project No. 1996-1. City Council authorized Orr-Schelen-Mayeron &
Assoc. (OSM)to prepare the plans for the City and the plans are now available in the City
Engineer's office for Council review. This project was petitioned for by the developer of
the St. Francis Regional Medical Campus (SFRMC) and includes street and storm sewer
on 17th Avenue, from CSAH 17 to Sarazin Street and Sarazin Street, from St. Francis
Avenue to 17th Avenue. Trunk watermain extension is also being provided on Sarazin
Street to the intersection of Sarazin Street and St. Francis Avenue to serve future
development property adjacent to the SFRMC site. Another improvement with this
project is the construction of a storm sewer outlet from the detention pond on the SFRMC
northwest corner site to the Mn/DOT linear pond south of the Shakopee Bypass.
Both 17th Avenue and Sarazin Street are collector streets in the City's Transportation
Plan within the City's Comprehensive Plan. 17th Avenue is being constructed to a 4-lane
design with turn lanes at CSAH 17 to accommodate potential future traffic of the adjacent
commercial property north of the SFRMC site. Sarazin Street is being constructed to a
44 foot width as determined at the February 6, 1996 Council meeting to comply with the
existing City Ordinance for collector streets. Both of these collector streets will have a
bike trail and sidewalk along each of the roadways as per the City Sidewalk and Trail
Policies. City staff will make a brief presentation on the plans and overall design at the
Council meeting.
1 Staff is in the process of acquiring the right-of-way for this project and right-of-way
acquisition is needed from two adjacent property owners. Staff is waiting from proposal
offers from the property owners and will bring them to Council for their consideration as
soon as they are available.
The main impetus for this project is to provide a street system for the new St. Francis
Hospital currently under construction and the long term care facility which will be under
construction soon. The anticipated completion date for the hospital to be open is June 30,
1996. Staff is planning on opening bids before the April 16, 1996 Council meeting and
will be asking Council to perhaps award bid at that meeting in order to keep this project
on schedule for the June 30, 1996 hospital opening.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 4414.
2. Deny Resolution No. 4414.
3. Table for additional information from staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:

Ordering Advertisement for Bids for 17th Avenue, from County State Aid Highway 17 to

MEMO TO: Barry Stock,Acting City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director AL.,
SUBJECT: Vierling Drive, from C.R. 79 to C.R. 77
Project No. 1995-6
DATE: March 4, 1996
MEETING DATE: March 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 4396, which accepts the bids and awards the contract for
Project No. 1995-6,Vierling Drive from County Road(C.R.) 79 to C.R. 77.
BACKGROUND:
On January 16, 1996, the City Council of Shakopee ordered the advertisement for bids
on the Vierling Drive Project No. 1995-6. This project consists of constructing a State
Aid street from C.R. 79 to C.R. 77 and is adjacent to the Meadows West plat and School
District property. Funding of this project is combination of special assessments and State
Aid Funds. On February 20, 1996 sealed bids were received and publicly opened for this
project. A total of six bids were received and are summarized in the attached resolution.
The low bid was submitted by F.M. Frattalone of St. Paul, MN with a low bid of a base
bid plus Alternate B of $514,700.00 and also was the low bidder with a base bid plus
Alternate A of$527,660.00. The engineer's estimate for this project was approximately
$500,000.00. The feasibility cost estimate for the construction of Vierling Drive
improvements was $416,101.37 with a total project cost estimate including engineering
and administration costs of$520,126.71.
In the feasibility study, the local 36 foot street equivalent was proposed to be assessed
with the box culvert, sidewalk and storm sewer within Meadows West, 100% to the
developer. The other property in the project assessment area is the School District. This
bid received on February 20, 1996 is a rebid of the project from September 19, 1995.
Vierling Drive, Project No. 1995-6 had a low bid received on September 19, 1995 from
Richard Knutson, Inc. of $594,887.50. The developer who signed a waiver of public
hearing notice for assessment appeal and petitioned for the project requested that the
Council reject the bids and rebid over the winter months for a spring completion.
In this bid, staff separated the bid into three categories which were for a base bid,
Alternate A and Alternate B. The base bids are all the contract bid items for the street,
sidewalk, storm sewer and all work other than the box culvert for the Upper Valley
Drainage (U.V.D.) ditch crossing. Alternate A is the concrete box culvert with concrete
cast in-place headwalls similar to the design used on Sarazin Street. Alternate B is a
concrete box culvert with precast concrete box culvert end sections at a 4:1 slope similar
to end sections on C.R. 79 but with a flatter slope. The low bid received from F.M.
Frattalone of the base bid plus Alternate A is as mentioned previously, $527,660.00 and
the base bid plus Alternate B is $514,700.00. These bids are $70,000 - $85,000 less
expensive than the bids received on September 19, 1995. Staff has checked references on
F.M. Frattalone and they are a responsible contractor that staff is recommending for
approval for this project.
The main question is whether to award the contract using Alternate A, the cast inplace
headwalls or Alternate B, the precast concrete box culvert end sections. In the initial bid
opening on September 19, 1995, the design for the concrete box culvert was to utilize the
cast in-place concrete headwalls as included in Alternate A. This is the preferred design
by staff as the cast in-place headwalls can be made to fit the adjoining slopes and give the
box culvert structure a more complete and finished appearance in the U.V.D. Alternate
B, the precast concrete box culvert end section design was included in order to provide
competition in the bid process in order to obtain a lower cost for the cast in-place
concrete headwalls. In the bids received on February 20, 1996, the difference between
Alternate A and Alternate B from the various contractors are as follows:
Difference Between
Contractor Alternate A and Alternate B
F.M. Frattalone $12,960.00
Midwest Asphalt $50,554.20
Ryan Contracting $36,920.00
Richard Knutson $40,212.30
Hardrives $29,826.00
GMH $ 7,146.00
The developer,Novak Fleck has recently told staff that they have received payment from
Mn/DOT for a box culvert crossing in the amount of $92,977.50, the amount that was
listed in the feasibility study. As mentioned previously in memos of last year, Novak
Fleck was also paid for the land to construct the UVD ditch by Mn/DOT and the City did
construct the UVD ditch utilizing Tax Increment Funds and Mn/DOT Funds.
The City did approve a policy in regard to box culvert assessments last year in which the
City would pay the additional length of box culvert necessary for street oversizing when
the box culvert is constructed to cross the UVD. The local street equivalent cost of the
box culvert and headwall/end section and rip rap treatment will be borne by the developer
as per the adopted Assessment Policy.
In addition to awarding a contract to the low bidder, F.M. Frattalone, City staff will need
to authorize Orr-Schelen-Mayeron& Assoc. to provide structural engineering services for
the box culvert shop drawing review as this requires a structural engineer which is
beyond staffs expertise. If the Council awards the project, staff is also requesting that
City Council authorize a contingency amount equal to 10% of the contract to cover minor
change orders or quantity adjustments that may occur on this project. Prior to awarding
the bid, the City of Shakopee is required to receive Mn/DOT State Aid approval of the
plans in order to utilize State Aid Funds on the project. The City has received State Aid
approval on March 4, 1996.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the low bid of the base bid and Alternate A (cast in-place concrete headwalls
and concrete box culvert) and adopt Resolution No. 4396, awarding the contract to
F.M. Frattalone.
2. Accept the low bid of the base bid and Alternate B (precast concrete box culvert end
sections and concrete box culvert) and adopt Resolution No. 4396, awarding the
contract to F.M. Frattalone.
3. Reject the low bid and award the bid to another bidder.
4. Reject all bids and rebid.
5. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the authorization letter from OSM
to provide structural construction services on the concrete box culvert.
6. Do not authorize structural construction services with OSM but with another firm.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes this is a Council policy decision on awarding the bid with Alternate A or
Alternate B. Alternate A is a more aesthetic design for an urban setting, however, precast
end sections exist on C.R. 79 and C.R. 77. The additional cost of$12,960.00 would be
borne by the developer, not the City. Resolution No. 4396 has the Alternate A bid
amount listed. If Council elects to use Alternate B (precast end sections) the resolution
should be adopted with amending the bid amount to reflect Alternate B. Alternative No.
5 is also recommended, to utilize OSM for structural construction services as this
company designed the concrete box culvert.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Offer Resolution No. 4396, A Resolution Accepting Bids on Vierling Drive, from
County Road 79 to County Road 77, Project No. 1995-6 and move its adoption.
2. Approve a contingency in the amount of 10% for use by the City Engineer in
authorizing change orders or quantity adjustments on the project.
3. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the authorization letter from On-
Schelen-Mayeron& Assoc. to provide structural construction services on the concrete
box culvert.

Re: Vierling Drive Box Culvert
City of Shakopee Project No. 1995-6
OSM Project No. 5678.00
Dear Bruce:
As we have discussed over the last several weeks, OSM has incurred costs for work done
beyond the original scope of services for the above referenced project. The original proposal
was for design, plan preparation, and shop drawing review for cast-in-place concrete
headwalls. This work was authorized on July 18, 1995. Due to higher than expected bids on
the project, bids for the project were rejected by the City.
On December 19, 1995, you authorized us to prepare drawings for a pre-cast headwall
alternative. We proceeded under the original agreement in the interest of time. The
execution of the work authorized December 19, 1995, has caused OSM to exceed the
authorized amount of $4,000.00. Copies of both authorization letters are attached for your
review.
The original scope of services included shop drawing review and field visits as necessary for
the completion of the project. Due to the preparation of the pre-cast alternative authorized on
December 19, 1995, our budget does not allow for completing the shop drawing review and
field visits included in the original scope of services. Time required for field visits and shop
drawing review will be dependent on the headwall alternate chosen. In lieu of this, we
propose a cost-plus arrangement to expedite the remaining work in the original scope of
services. A cost-plus arrangement is consistent with the terms now utilized for construction
services.
The City of Shakopee is a valued client, and we appreciate the opportunity to work with you
on this project. We view this discussion as an opportunity for continued service to the City
of Shakopee for this project.

MEMO TO: Dennis K Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Community Recreation Center Summer Programs-Non-Resident Fees-
Resolution No. 4408
DATE: February 27, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The Shakopee Park&Recreation Advisory Board is recommending to City
Council that non-resident fees for spring and summer programs offered at the Community
Recreation Center be waived.
BACKGROUND:
Over the course of the last two months, staff has been evaluating options to
increase program revenue at the Community Recreation Center. Currently the 1996 fee
schedule provides that a non-resident fee in the amount of$21.00 be assessed for all
recreation programs. In conjunction with the operation of the Community Recreation
Center we have included space for specific programs and activities. Most notably, ice
skating lessons, wrestling, gymnastics and Community Recreation Center offered athletic
camps. Each of these programs tend to be somewhat specialized and run year round. In
order to generate as much revenue as possible in these programs and ultimately improve
the operating budget for the Community Recreation Center as a whole, the Shakopee
Park &Recreation Advisory Board is proposing that no non-resident fees be charged for
these programs during the spring and summer months(April through August).
The elimination of non-resident fees for the aforementioned programs will allow us
to promote these programs to a wider service area where the services are not being
provided or are being provided on a much more limited scale as compared to what we can
offer at the Community Recreation Center. Furthermore, since these programs tend to
require specialized facilities and equipment,we may be able to justify higher program fees
for their participants once we establish a regular participant base.
The Shakopee Park &Recreation Advisory Board requested staff to evaluate a
more permanent solution of dealing with non-resident rates for Community Recreation
Center programs and activities. At the present time,we do have an agreement with
Jackson Township whereby non-resident fees are being waived at the time of program
registration and being picked up by the Jackson Town Board on an annual basis. The
impact of a change in the fee schedule methodology for non-residents will be analyzed
between now and September. The Park&Recreation Advisory Board and staff will be
reviewing options that will meet the needs of our residents and also increase the cost
effectiveness of our programs.
The Park &Recreation Advisory Board does not believe that the waiver of the
non-resident fee for the aforementioned programs during the spring and summer months
will himplimiting The PrRecreation
Advisoryave any Board believes
acton that the proposeaccessford courseShakopee of actionresidents.will maximaikze&the use of the
space in the facility that we have constructed. Furthermore,the proposed course of action
will increase participation in each of these programs and ultimately serve to improve the
operating cash flow for the entire facility. Attached is Resolution No. 4408, amending the
1996 fee schedule as recommended by the Park &Recreation Advisory Board.

program.

or family pass have access to ice skating programs,wrestling programs,
