Mr. Dennis Hron
Scott County Commissioner
Board of Commissioners
Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear Mr . Hron:
I am writing to reconfirm the points we discussed at our
meeting December 6 with Joe Reis , Scott County Administrator,
and Jim Daly , Metropolitan Council District 16 representative .
The meeting was primarily to discuss the relationship between
sewers to Jackson Township and Shakopee Bypass . As was
stated in the System Statement for Jackson Township the Council
is planning for a 1990 average daily flow of .07 million
gallons per day based on no industrial flow and sewered popula-
tion of 1 ,000.
Since Shakopee will not be needing its total allocated flow
for industry we discussed the possibility of an agreement
between Jackson and Shakopee to allow Jackson a connection into
the Shakopee pipe for transporting Jackson' s planned flow to
the Blue Lake plant . We agreed that since this will not be a
metropolitan interceptor the cities will handle the details
of such an agreement , while I will investigate the possibility
of financial aid for such a connection.
Please keep me informed as to the progress of this situation.
Sincerely,
John Boland
Chairman
MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas S. Reeder, City Administrator
RE: City Depository
DATE: January 31 , 1979
After considering the attached memo from the City Treasurer
and discussing this matter with Mayor Harbeck, it is my conclusion
that a fair and workable arrangement for the use of banking facilities
would be to split the City and the Utility Commission accounts into
two separate banks . This , in the long run would probably be easier
than switching both accounts back and forth every two years .
You requested the staff to determine the cost of such a move
from one bank to another and we must still give you a non precise
answer of about $500 in staff time .
It is therefore my suggestion that you consider, beginning in
January 1980, when both banks are fully prepared to handle either
account , that the Utility Commission and the City mutually agree to
separate the accounts and put them in the bank which is the most
convenient for each entity. For the year 1979 we would retain the
depository you have already named.

MEMO TO: Douglas S. Reeder, City Administrator

SUBJECT: Bank Selection
DATE: January 23 Y 1979
I have obtained information on bank selection on thirteen other communities.
The practices and reasons therefore are somewhat

changes banks only when sufficient pressure is a Y cycles ). One city
bank. Five cities have more or less applied by the inactive
sion of accounts between banks. arrangements based on divi-
ae l The remainder do not face the issue of
bank selection from multiple local banks.
Some of the factors involved in consideration of bank selection on a perm-
anent arrangement are service, convenience
practice. One city has demand deposits in' d past
one andamaintains'an v est-
ment balance in the second bank.
Based on this small surveys if Shakopee were to follow the pattern set ab
we would have SPUC use one bank (Citizens for convenience and the

Fourth choice is to proceed as we currently are.

MEMO
TO: City Council
FROM: H.R. Spurrier, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Ordinance 16, Fourth Series - Regulating Scavengers
DATE: January 22 , 1979
Pursuant to the request of the City Council , January 16 , 1979 , an
analysis of a rate structure for scavengers has been performed .
From the Engineering Department ' s standpoint , Ordinance 16 proposes
to perform a function that the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
should perform since the Commission collects a fee (SAC Charge) from
properties that install septic tanks . The City does not have appropriate
facilities for the scavengers . Appropriate facilities would consist
of a heated enclosure where the material would be dumped . These
facilities would be equipped for wash-down, odor control , gas control , and
volume measurement . The facilities would be staffed with personnel
qualified to operate wastewater treatment facilities .
The City ' s dump facilities consist of a manhole . There are no
provisions for washing the manhole or the scavenger' s truck, for
controlling odor or gas , or for measuring the volume of the truck.
The proposed rates for scavengers will seem high, therefore , an
explanation of the criteria that is used to compute the charge is made
below.
The charge is based on volume and solids concentration because
wastewater treatment costs are a function of the volume and solids
concentration. A single family dwelling in Shakopee discharges approx-
imately 255 gallons of wastewater per day . That single family pays
$0. 1529 per day for sewage treatment . In that 255 gallons there is
approximately 0.425 dry pounds of waste each day . Then the average
single family dwelling is paying approximately $0. 36 for each pound
of waste treated . Septic tank waste is entirely different . The same
volume of 255 gallons contains an average of 32 dry pounds of waste
that cost the same $0 . 36 per pound to treat . Therefore , to- be equitable
a much higher charge per gallon must be made .
After all the computations are made the charge is $ .045 per gallon.
To simplify this the charge should be $4 . 50 per 100 gallons of septic
waste . An average load of 1000 gallons would be charged a dump fee of
$45 .00.
That charge seems high, so a second check was made to determine
whether the charge was reasonable . A single family dwelling is charged
$4 . 65 per month in Shakopee for sewage treatment . That is $55 . 80 per
year. Although it is recommended that septic tanks be pumped once a
Vea.r, most are pumped once every two years . A septic tank removes
the waste in sewage . If that tank served a single family for two
;� ,eL.rs there would be approximately 155 dry cound.s of waste in t'1e tank.
Treatment costs are $0 .36 per pound so the total charge would be
$55 . 80, that is $10 . 80 more than the proposed charge and half the
cost of a sewered single family dwelling in Shakopee .
The charge proposed here may seem high but it is reasonable and
equitable . Based on the comparisons made , the City Council should
establish the fee for scavengers at a minimum of $4 . 50 per hundred
gallons measured to the nearest hundred gallons . Only septic waste
collected within the corporate city limits should be permitted. The
scavenger should be responsible for cleaning up any spillage which
occurs during dumping operations .

league of minnesota cities
January 15, 1979
TO: Mayors, Members of the Councils, and Clerks:
Governor Albert H. Quie has agreed to issue an official proclamation designating the week of
February 26 - March 2 as Minnesota Cities Week.This will allow cities the opportunity to high-
light city services in concert with hundreds of other cities throughout the State of Minnesota.
The entire week will offer a variety of opportunities for your participation locally, so that you
can select the options that seem to best fit your community.
One purpose of this letter is to ask you to adopt the enclosed resolution of participation, and to
return it to the League and to the Governor. If we can get this kind of official participation from
cities in every part of Minnesota, it will help to underline the importance of the week. We would
like to be able to say publicly that cities from Ada through Zumbrota are officially participat-
ing in Minnesota Cities Week, but we can only do that if you pass this resolution at the next
possible council meeting.
The Board of Directors of the League has selected a slogan for the week. It's ----- Cities— Where
the People Are! We plan to have a campaign kit designed around this slogan and hope to have
samples in your hands at the beginning of February. The League will also provide suggestions for
a number of activities that cities can undertake on their own. Finally, we will contact the news
media, so that we can coordinate the publicity here with the League's Legislative Conference,
which will be held Wednesday, March 1.
The Board feels that Minnesota Cities Week offers a good opportunity not only to illustrate the
diversity and vitality of cities, but to make cities more visible during this very important legisla-
tive session. They would certainly urge your participation, via the enclosed resolution, and in any
other way that you deem appropriate either now, or after plans for the week are more developed.
In the meantime, if you have any ideas that should be considered, or any comments, please let
me know.
Si cerely,

MEMO
TO: Douglas S . Reeder , City Administrator
FROM: H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer
SUBJECT:Inter im Report - Traffic" Survey for alley in back of City Hall
DATE:__ January 2 , 1979
Pursuant to the recommendations of the Council December 19 , 1979,
the Engineering Department staff has initiated a monitort-n.g program
for the alley_ in back of City Hall .
We have collected sufficient data at this point to see a pattern
of use in the alley . The attached figure graphically illustrates
the traffic problem. The traffic problem is that the alley is
being used for through traffic . In other words , outbound visitors ,
through traffic or workers are using the alley instead of Trunk
Highway 101 . In a spot check, without exception, westbound trips
originated at Lewis and T .H. 101 sometimes crossing through the
Coast to Coast Hardware parking lot then up to T.H. 101-169 turning
north across the bridge .
It is estimated that this through traffic accounts for 68 percent
of the alley traffic over a 24 hour period, 73 percent of the alley
traffic during normal business hours and 80 percent of the alley
traffic during evening rush hours .
Clearly, the alley is not being used for its intended purpose ;
that purpose being a service drive . It is important that the
alley be modified to eliminate through traffic , yet serve its
intended purpose .
There are four alternatives that can be used to discourage through
traffic :
1 . Install physical barriers to reduce
speed .
2 . Sign the alley one-way eastbound .
3 . Close the west entrance to the alley.
4. Do nothing.
Alternate One would be ineffective because construction would be
limited to the 16 foot alley right-of-way and could be bypassed
to the south by through traffic . During the winter months the
bumps would damage snow removal equipment . During the summer
months storm water would collect at the bumps and eventually cause
pavement failure . Alternate One would not solve the problem.
Alternate Two creates problems for businesses served by the alley
since most deliveries are made from Lewis Street and most, if not
all , delivery vehicles would have to negotiate a sharp corner and
steep ramp at Holmes Street . Tractor-trailers would have an
extremely difficult problem of access . Alternate Two would solve
the problem but have some disadvantages .
Alternate Three creates problems for all through traffic . Small
delivery vehicles would not have a choice of leaving the City via
a right turn at Holmes Street . The City parking lot would lose
some parking stalls at the southwest corner of the lot . Alternate
Three would solve the problem.
Alternate Four does nothing. Since the City recognizes there is
a problem, since the problem could endanger life, it would be
unwise to select Alternate Four
,glas S . Reeder -2- January 2 , 1379
Two alternatives solve this problem. Alternate Three creates
fewer problems for businesses the alley is suppose to serve .
Therefore , until this department receives other public Input
that would change the criteria of this analysis , it must recommend
the closure of the west entrance to the alley in back of City Hall .

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas S . Reeder, City Administrator
RE: Legislative Matters of Importance to the
City of Shakopee
DATE: January 11 , 1979
The following matters which will probably be addressed
by the State Legislature in 1979 are the ones which I believe
are the most important to Shakopee and the ones we should
discuss with our Legislators . These are in priority order:
1 . Transportation - The Legislature should take
whatever action is needed to speed the construction
of the Shakopee Bypass and to construct a new major
river crossing in the County Road 18 corridor as
soon as possible .
2 . Special Levy - Any new local government expendi-
ture required by new legislation should be accompanied
by an exempt levy (example - proposed inspections of
syptic systems) .
3 . Tax Increment Financing - Appears to be working
well in smaller cities . New restrictions, if any,
should be carefully devised to not restrict the
use of this local tool .
4. Green Acre Laws - Green Acre exemptions should
be coordinated with local zoning and comprehensive
planning to allow the orderly growth of communities
through the logical extension of utilities . The City
should have some control on where agricultural
exemptions continue to exist and where they should be
phased out .
5 . Metropolitan Council - The Legislature should not
expand the policy making role of the Metropolitan
government in any area and should study the areas
where Metropolitan Council authority exceeds the need
for Metropolitan level of control at the expense of
local control . An elected Metropolitan Council
would adversely affect local control .
6 . Per Capita Aid - Per capita aid to local govern-
ment should be increased to keep pace with inflation.
Mayor & City Council
RE: Legislative Matters -2- January 11 , 1979
7 . Six percent (6%) Levy Limit

8 . Hotel/Motel/Amusement Tax

9• Limited Market Value - The total concept of
limited market value should be eliminated and all
taxes should be based on full market value .
10. Property Assessing Procedures

are equal to nationally acceptable standards of

1979 POLICE RADIOS :
The following is a resume' of the 1979 police radios
that I am ordering this date, 01-15-79, in an attempt to
coordinate the arrival of the new police radios with the
new squad cars that the City of Shakopee has purchased .
The description of the police radios is as follows :
They are Yotorola, 8 channel, police radios with a high
and low band capability and a 10 channel scanner. They
are the converta-com type radios , mobile units where the
Officer takes a portable part of the radio with him when
he leaves the squad car, thus eliminating, the cost of
having the Officer carry a portable in the car with him.
Portable radios are approximately X1,700 .00 now and the
regular mobile unit is $2,200 .00. I feel the converta-
com type radio will hest serve our needs and represents
a substantial savings to the City of Shakopee. The price
on the radios includes installation and removal, of our
old radios, antenna, and crystals . The price is $l, sn2 .55 ,
which was awarded to Motorola Radio as the low bidder on
the Scott County Police Radio bid.
The channels to be placed in the squad car radios
are as follows:
(1) Primary channel for police emergency calls .
(2) Administrative channel.
(3) Car to car channel,
(4) State wide emergency channel.
(5) Carver County.
(F) State fire emergency.
(7) Public utilities .
(8) Hennepin County.

Shakopee, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Hauser:
At your request we have inspected the above mentioned land in
Shakopee for the purpose of updating our previous market value
appraisal of this land. This letter supplements our report
dated October 6 , 1977 , which set forth the physical characteristics
of the property, listed comparable sales, and estimated land value
at $ . 25 per square foot.
In our review of land sales in Shakopee we found the market
relatively inactive for similar property. We discovered no sales
which would indicate a change in value from our previous estimate.
Therefore, our conclusion is that as of January 19 , 1979 , the
market value indicated for the subject land is $ . 25 per square foot.

RE: Appointment to Civil Service Commission
DATE: January 31 , 1979
Attached are the resumes of the people who have offered to
serve on the Police Civil Service Commission.
Mayor Harbeck has informed me that he intends to nominate
Virgil Mears for this three year appointment . Mayor Harbeck may
not be able to attend Council meeting and if he
does not , has requested 20.
If there are other candidates who you wish to nominate for this
position, then Mayor. Harbeck has suggested that all Council Members
be prepared to rank their top three choices so that the Council
could make a unanimous appointment based on a point system.
I must again comment that the City of Shakopee is extremely
fortunate to have so many very qualified candidates offer their
services to the community. This has happened for every vacancy we
have had since believe it is a
havgeodtoindica-
tion of the high their

Gentlemen:
This letter is to inform you that I am interested in being
appointed to the Shakopee Police Civil Service Commission.
Having been in law enforcement for almost thirty years, �he
majority of time under civil service, I feel I am familiar with
the workings of a civil service commission and law enforcement
problems.
During my years with the Minnesota State Patrol, I was involved
with background investigations of recruits prior to their acceptance
for training as a State Trooper. I also sat on interview bo rds for
patrol candidates. These interviews being part of the hirin pro-
cedures and supervised by State Civil Service.
I have also been part of an interview board for the hiri g of
deputy sheriffs in Carver County. This board was arranged b the
Carver County Civil Service Commission.
For verification of the above, you may contact the Minnesota
State Patrol and the Carver County Civil Service Commission.
If appointed, I will diligently perform my duties and work for
the welfare of the Shakopee Police Department and the City of
Shakopee.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
John A. Roepke

Mayor of Shakopee

Shakopee, Minnesota
Dear Mayor and Council Members :
This letter is to express my interest in obtaining the appointment soon
to be made on the Police Civil Service Commission.
I am a 36-year resident of the City of Shakopee and along with my wife and
three children currently make my home there. I have been involved with
law enforcement for the past fifteen years and currently am employed by
the Minneapolis Police Department in the capacity of Detective Lieutenant
in the Homicide Division.
As a member of the law enforcement profession and resident of Shakopee,
I would like to see the Shakopee Police Department continue to operate
as it has in the past free from any type of partisan political pressure.
I feel the City of Shakopee has an excellent police department, and if
selected for the above position, I would work within the framework of the
Commission for a continued effort to make the department effective,
efficient, and responsive to all the citizens of our community.
At this time, I would like to thank all of you for your time and considera-
tion in this matter.
Respectfully,
Stephen L. Strehlow

Dear Mr. Reeder:
I saw recently in the Shakopee Valley News that the City
Council is looking for candidates for the Police Commission.
Perhaps you will recall that we conversed on this subject three
or four months ago at which time I indicated an interest in this
commission or the Public Utilities Commission. I am, therefore,
requesting consideration.
I have been involved in many city projects: Charter Commission;
Planning Commission; Beautification Committee; Chamber of Commerce and
other community projects. I state this only to make you aware of my
concern for the community in which we live.
More important, however, may be the experience and training I
could lend to such commissions. I have had over 20 years experience
in administration. I currently serve my organization as Title IX and
Affirmative Action Officer and as Personnel Officer as components of my
job as assistant superintendent.
I believe serving on such a commission would be both challenging
and rewarding to me and be a service to the community.
Thank you for your consideration and that of the City Council.

Mayor Farbeck,
I am respectfully submitting this letter for consideration of
tree opening on the Shakopee Police Civil Service Commission. As a
new citizen and homeowner in Shakopee I have no less interest in
our local government and police department. than citizens re i.ding
here longer. I have a high opinion of the currant police department
and would consider it a priviledge to serve my community on, the
commission.
Because of the non—partisan statis of the Civil Service
System I anticipate nothing that could compromise my positign
either as a commissioner or in my profession as Publisher of the
Shakopee Valley News. If considered I am willing to appropriate
the necessary time to facilitate all the expectations the
appointment requires to the best of my ability.
Since 1970 I have been employed by newspapers and havelhad
management responsibilities which include many personnel functions.
I am conservative and consider common sense and patience my ',best
attributes. I have enclosed a resume of qualifications.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas S . Reeder, City Administrator
RE: Ambulance Agreement
DATE: February 1 , 1979
Attached is a proposed Ambulance Subsidy Agreement with
St . Francis Hospital . This agreement has been worked out with
the City of Savage and the hospital and I think is a more reasonable
approach than initially requested.
As you will recall , the original request was for a subsidy of
$1 . 75 per capita which would have amounted to $18, 522 for Shakopee .
The attached agreement calls for a three year agreement with
the following costs :
1979 - $1 . 15 per capita = $12 , 213
1980 - 1 . 25 per capita = 1 . 25 X Metro Council population
1981 - 1 . 25 per capita = 1 . 25 X Metro Council population
This agreement has the following advantages :
1 . It insures better (para medic) service for Shakopee
2 . It is at a lower cost than originally requested
3. It is much cheaper than operating a local "volunteer"
ambulance service
4. It is in line with the subsidies given by other cities
to the major ambulance services
5. It is a three year agreement which avoids requests for
large increases at least for three years
Recommendation
The City Council , at budget time , allocated $18,000 in the contin-
gency fund for the purpose of possibly funding this subsidy. It is
recommended that the Council now authorize the Mayor and City Administrato
to enter into this three year agreement contingent upon the acceptance
of the agreement by all the other cities and townships .

MEMO TO : Douglas S . Reeder, City Administrator
FROM:
Gregg Voxland, City Treasurer
SUBJECT : 1979 Sewer Rate Adjustment
DA'T'E : February 1 , 1979
The proposed 1979 Sewer Fund Budget is attached. There are no
really significant changes from the 1978 budget. Revenue from
user charges did not come up to the level expected . This is
because commercial/industrial flow did not increase as expect-
ed and the residential rate was set based on a larger number
of accounts than there actually are . Revenue for 1979 is based
on the present rate structure . Total projected revenue is
less than the budget A
charge from bothth
accounts since
it is a flow-through type activity.
The proposed expenditures reflect some modest increases in oper-
ating costs. There is $30,000 in the budget for system mainten-
ance. This figure could vary widely dependingfor unforeseen
events. -
events. However, it is reasonable to provide
gency in the budget . MWCC charges show a small increase that
appears reasonable; final charges for 1978 will not be available
until about March, 1979 . There is an amount budg�ted under per-
sonal services for 1979 . This is for labor expended by the
street crew on the sewer system. Previously, the General Fund
was reimbursed for this activity by a transfer; it is more ap-
propriate to account for the labor through the personal services
accounts. Remaining in the transfer accounts is $19,500 which
represents the debt service commitment for the year. This
amount should come from the Sewer Fund because the debt was in-
curred for the sewer system and MWCC nets their charges to us
to allow for debt service costs .
Along with the cost flow type budget that you are accustomed to ,
I have provided data to convert the budget to more of an operat-
ing type budget consistent with the accounting basis I feel the
fund should be on. This means
counted for more like a bu siness
operates on a net income or loss basis.
In the budget is an amount for capital equipment that is deline-
ated on the budget sheet. Although not listed on the budget , the
Public Works Director has been watching for a used bucket machine
(est . $3 ,000) and may desire to purchase one whenever and if one
becomes available .

1979 Sewer Rate Adjustment
You will notice that the budget is in a negative cash flow
and operating loss position as it now stands. Therefore ,
given that the expenditures presented are necessary to pro-
vide service and estimated sewer flow for the City is rea-
sonably accurate, it is advisable that the sewer service
rates be raised to enable the fund to operate on a sound
financial basis. Revenue requirements and proposed rate
adjustments are as follows:
1 . Budget expenses that can be considered as non-flow
related amount to $66, 295 . Total revenue require-
ments for the fund to break even, based on the at-
tached budget, amount to approximately $471 ,000.
2. With the present rate we could expect revenue of about
$65 ,000 from the service charge and the additional
step on the flow charge. We could expect about
$385 ,000 to be generated on the flow charge . Total
revenue on present rate is then $450,000.
3. The non-flow charges do not cover the related 'bud--
geted expenses, therefore it is advisable to increase
the charges in some form to be consistent with prior
years in covering those expenses with the related
charges.
4. Flow charges also should be adjusted to provide addi-
tional revenue. Several rate alternatives are given
below, all provide for sufficient revenue for the fund
to break even on an operating basis.
5 . If a rate were adopted to break even on an opelrating
basis, we would experience a substantial negative cash
flow for 1979 . This is due to the timing of revenue
versus receipts and the outlay for capital items and
debt service. The cash flow situation for 1980 should
not be as severe as it is for 1979.
6. Metropolitan Waste Control Commission charges are ex-
pected to increase 10-11% for each of the next, several
years.

Present Rate 1 Rate 2 Rate 3 Rate 4 Rate 5
Sewer $/yr. 20.00 20.00 2 .00 24.00 20.00 20 . 00

Total Revenue 450, 100 473, 100 475 ,500 501 , 750 536 , 100 520, 350
Residental flat rate is arrived at by taking revenue needed, sub-
tracting projected revenue generated by service charge, multiply-
ing result by percentage residential water usage bears to total
flow/usage and dividing that result by number of residential sewer
accounts; divide that by 12 for a monthly rate and add monthly
service charge.
Rates one and two are based on providing revenue to just break-even.
There is no provision for net income which is necessary to provide
operating capital and finance acquisition of new equipment/facilities
and to replace old equipment at today' s higher prices.
Rates one, three , four and five will provide for net income but
not balanced cash flow. Rate 4 comes close to balancing cash flow
but is a large increase in the rate at one time. Rate 5 will pro-
vide for net income with a modest reduction in cash balances at
year end.
