Middle School Crosswalk Warning Device Donation COMMENTS BY: Superintendent Anderson The Plymouth Community Foundation approached the City of Plymouth seeking to fund a project that would enhance school safety at one of Plymouth's schools. Dan Carlson of the Wayzata School District and Doran Cote from the City of Plymouth met with Foundation representatives to discuss options including roadway lighting at Wayzata High School and other traffic control opportunities. Wayzata School District and Plymouth staff were already exploring the idea of a warning device for the crosswalk on Vicksburg Lane at Central Middle School that would be activated by pedestrians. This was discussed with Foundation representatives and they agreed it would be a good fit and a great safety improvement opportunity. The Plymouth Community Foundation is donating over $5,000 for the purchase of a pedestrian activated warning device for the crosswalk on Vicksburg Lane at Central Middle School. The City and the School District will work cooperatively to install the device during the summer break. Many thanks to the Plymouth Community Foundation for this donation.

STROMMEN Attarncy at Lav Direct Dial (612) 337-9233 Email: jstrommcn@kennedy-graven.com kennedy-graven.com RE: 2011— 2012 Suburban Rate Authority Actions on Behalf of SRA Members Dear Ms. Ahrens: The SRA appreciates the City's continued membership in this important municipal joint powers organization. Again, the SRA has been very active and successful regarding issues of importance to SRA cities and their residents and businesses. Some of its accomplishments are: ■ The SRA negotiated a settlement with Xcel Electric crediting SRA cities (and all cities receiving street lighting service from Xcel) for unpaid, late outage repair totaling approximately $25,000 to SRA cities (and another $50,000 to non -SRA cities). ■ The SRA successfully supported the discontinuance of a flawed Inverted Block Rate program by CenterPoint that caused many SRA residential ratepayers to pay much higher energy rates in the winter of 2010-2011. ■ In Xcel's last rate case, the SRA won a significant municipal power outage credit increase to $200 each outage (raised from $50). The 2011 data was the first reporting of the benefits of the cities of this new tariff. SRA cities receive sixteen thousand dollars in additional outage credits. That total is likely to be repeated in the same amount in 2012 and each year thereafter. ■ The SRA has now proposed Xcel residential electrical outage credits for repeated outages over a period of years. This proposal would credit $200 or $300 annually and is under consideration at the time of this letter. • In Xcel's most recent rate case, the SRA has preserved the lower demand ratchet formulas applied to large municipal pumping rates by agreement with Xcel. This will be in place through Xcel's rate case after the next, estimated to be 2017, If you have any questions, call me. Very truly yours, KE Y & VEN, CHARTERED James M.

Page 13 Ehlers Market Commentary March 13, 2012 March Madness Arriving Early? Many of you are sitting in front of your computers this morning, waiting for an e-mail to hit your inbox with that precious link that will bring you to your NCAA men's basketball tournament bracket. The field is set, and it's time for us all to pretend we know something about the 68 teams slated to take to the hardwood over the course of the next few weeks. "March Madness" has also seemed to hit the financial markets, and especially the municipal market, a bit early this year. There has been a lot going on both at home and abroad since our last market commentary. Over There While certainly not the final chapter in this saga, but absolutely an important milestone, Greece seems to have successfully undertaken a bond exchange with its private creditors. The terms of the deal affect approximately $250 billion of debt. Creditors will accept an almost 55% reduction in the face amount of debt holdings and will exchange current bonds for a combination of new Greek bonds (with substantially longer maturities) and notes guaranteed by the European Financial Stability Fund. The swap received consent from over 85% of debt holders. Greece recently enacted legislation that put in place a "Collective Action Clause" (CAC) on debt that did not already carry those terms which will bind any hold -outs to the terms of the swap if they do not voluntarily participate. That is inarguably a good deal for Greece. But any time a sovereign entity rewrites contracts to the detriment of a counterparty, markets take notice and adjust accordingly (i.e. charging higher interest rates for the perceived uncertainty). These actions will allow Greece to access another wave of bailout funds in the neighborhood of $170 billion. The ultimate, stated, goal is to reduce Greece's debt burden to 120% of GDP by 2020 from the current level of 160%. We will let you be the judge of the likelihood of that goal becoming reality. Greece's debt restructuring was also deemed to have triggered a "credit event" with respect to outstanding credit default swaps (CDS). CDS are basically a form of insurance underwritten by financial institutions. When a credit event occurs, the seller of the contract must purchase the underlying, insured debt from the counterparty at a cost approaching face value (an auction is held to determine the price). Greece and those assisting them in their efforts were trying to avoid this reality by initially making the debt exchange voluntary. The use of the CAC seems to have defeated those efforts and triggered the credit event. The repercussions of this cannot be fully known, as there is not a reliable estimate of the net amount of CDS outstanding - - ultimately this will play out over the course of the next few months. www.ehlers-ino.com Offices in Minnesota: (800) 552-1171 Wisconsin: (800) 717-9742 Illinois: (800) 417-1119 Page 14 Ehlers Market Marrh 13, 2012 In other European news, we commented previously on the last round of the European Central Bank's (ECB) Long -Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO). The LTRO is a program offering three-year loans at 1.00% interest. The first LTRO operation in late December saw over 500 banks participate to the tune of over $635 billion. On February 29th, the ECB offered a second round of financing and saw over 800 banks take down over $710 billion. Initial estimates were for demand of roughly $600 billion. The ECB engaged in a campaign prior to the second round to "de-stigruatize" use of the program, which seems to have brought more players to the table. While there are some institutions that are simply using the cheap funding to make an interest rate spread play, this should also serve to grease the wheels of the broader financial market on the continent and relieve pressure on the wholesale funding operations of European banks. To put the ECB's recent actions into perspective, its balance sheet is now larger than that of the U.S. Federal Reserve at the height of our own financial crisis. It seems brute force is the monetary mantra of our time. Over Here On a national basis, interest rate markets have been fairly muted, save for the municipal market. The last two weeks have been witness to the largest supply of new municipal issuance for the year. The week of February 27th saw close to $8.0 billion in new issue volume (up from $3.5 - $5.0 billion in weeks prior), with the week of March 5th coming in at near $9.0 billion. Consideration must be given to the fact that two issuers, California and Puerto Rico, accounted for over $5.0 of the total amount. It seems the big issuers wanted to take advantage of attractive interest rates, and what was a light new issue market. Rates were helped by continued money flows into tax-exempt bond funds (net inflows of $1.2 billion last week and 14 straight weeks of inflows, according to Lipper-FMI), While the issuance was absorbed, it was not without concessions. This last week, the Bond Buyer was quoting traders on a daily basis stating that the market was "sloppy," or "due for a correction," and that primary activity was killing secondary market trading. Dealers are typically not in a position to hold large amounts of inventory during such periods, which can disrupt their market making activities. Volume is expected to moderate the week of March 12, with approximately $5.8 billion on the calendar. A slow creep in U.S. Treasury yields, along with supply pressure due to the aforementioned new issuance calendar has seen the most widely -tracked municipal indices retreat from their recent lows. Thomson's Municipal Market Data (MMD) shows the AAA rate for a 10 -year maturity at 2.05% (as of March 9), its second foray into plus 2.00% territory since December 7th. When compared to the U.S. Treasury 10 -year close from the same day of 2.03%, the muni -to -treasury ratio now stands at over 100% - - the first time that has happened in over ten weeks. The cheapening of municipals in relationship to Treasuries should bring additional attention back to our market from non-traditional buyers, as those metrics had become stretched during the first few months of the year and municipals were relatively "expensive" (lower rates are "expensive" for investors while higher rates are "cheaper"). z RAA www.ehiers-inc.com Page 2 Page 15 Ehlers r t Commentary March 13, 2012 In contrast to the national indices we track, the markets in which Ehlers operates throughout the Midwest have not seen similar increases in interest rates, especially for bank qualified debt. That being said, we have not been immune, and the greatest impact seems to be felt on the intermediate to long -end of the spectrum. The month of March is slated to see fairly heavy volume compared to the first two months of the year (Ehlers has 80 sales on the calendar), so it remains to be seen if this supply will put additional pressure on rates during what is seasonally a tougher period for tax -exempts (tax season when individuals and businesses are raising cash to pay taxes). Even with seasonal pressures, there is cash to put to work by the investing public, and issuers are still finding dealer interest (see attached sale results). We would also like to note a recent rash of headlines related to financial difficulties in a number of locales across the country. Stockton, CA, (pop. 290,000) took steps to seek arbitration with creditors and is likely to skip upcoming payments on over $320 million in bonds secured by its general obligation. Suffolk County, NY, (home of Long Island and the Hamptons) declared a state of fiscal emergency and is projecting close to $500 million in deficits over the next three years Last Friday, a state -appointed receiver announced that Harrisburg, PA will skip $5.3 million in general obligation bond payments due this Thursday. And the City of Detroit, MI, presented financial projections that show the City running out of cash as early as May of this year. The Mayor recently denied the City is seeking a $120 - $150 million short -tern loan from the State of Michigan, although he did admit having discussions on potential credit enhancement of the City's debt obligations for the same purpose. While these are more isolated in nature, we have all seen how these types of headlines can gain traction and strike a damaging chord with the retail investor. As always, strong planning and communication with your fmancing team and financial advisor will allow issuers to navigate the market more easily. If proper fiscal planning is in place, minor gyrations in the market should not affect your overall strategy. www.ehlers-inc.cem Page 3 Page 16 Hennepin County expanding security at 3 suburban courts • Article by: KEVIN DUCHSCHERE • Star Tribune • March 13, 2012 - 11:04 PM The Hennepin County Board on Tuesday imposed weapons screening at its suburban courts, responding to fears raised by a county judge and a recent shooting in a North Shore courthouse. "We don't know that anybody will ever be injured in our courthouses, but we don't want it to happen," said Commissioner Jan Callison, who sponsored the resolution. "And we know that they are places that are high stress, with people under a lot of pressure. And people under pressure who have access to weapons do things they shouldn't do." By the end of April, walk-through metal detectors will be installed at the Ridgedale court in Minnetonka and the Brookdale court in Brooklyn Center, similar to ones which visitors must pass through to get into courts and offices at the county's Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. After considering closing the Southdale court in Edina -- where it would cost about $900,000 to rebuild the entryway to accommodate a walk-through detector -- the board decided to have visitors there screened with handheld devices for now. A permanent solution for Southdale and the other two courts will have to await conclusions of a $150,000 study on court security that the board ordered Tuesday from the administration. That report is due Nov. 1; in the meantime, a $77,000 security report commissioned from the National Center for State Courts will be finished this spring. Hennepin County District Judge Lloyd Zimmerman drew attention to court security in January, when he publicly refused to hear any more cases in the suburbs for safety reasons. Zimmerman's refusal came three weeks after a prosecutor and witness were critically wounded in a shooting at the Cook County Courthouse in Grand Marais. Sheriff Rich Stanek said that he was "satisfied on an interim basis" by the board's action and that visitors to all of the county's courtrooms, not just those downtown, should be checked for weapons. He told the board that 3,400 weapons, ranging from pocketknives to handguns, were confiscated in 2011 at the downtown Government Center, while only 15 "significant incidents" were reported in the suburban courts -- suggesting that many weapons there likely went undetected. Page 17 But commissioners on the losing side of the 4-3 vote questioned the rush to do suburban screening immediately and said it would be smarter to analyze all possible solutions before spending up to $625,000 on temporary fixes that might not be necessary. "It's an open checkbook resolution with security as the goal," Commissioner Peter McLaughlin said. He argued that less costly measures should be considered first, such as rescheduling the most sensitive cases for downtown courtrooms. Once weapons screening is in place, he said, it will be practically impossible to roll it back. Hennepin County's suburban courts hear no felony cases among the more than 50,000 cases assigned there every year. Typical cases include low-level assaults, domestics, DWIs and traffic and parking violations. The suburban courtrooms are guarded by county sheriffs deputies and security guards. Court officials told the board that they believed suburban security should be bolstered but also that they felt safe there. Hennepin County Board Chairman Mike Opat, who voted against the resolution, said that there is risk in much of what the county does. There's no weapons screening at economic assistance counters or the Government Center's violations bureau, he said. "You can minimize the risk, but you cannot eliminate it," he said. Hennepin County screens court visitors for weapons in 90 of the county's 96 courtrooms in four of eight locations, including the Government Center downtown. The annual cost for weapons screening is $1.6 million. Visitors are not checked at the suburban locations or the conciliation court at Minneapolis City Hall. City councils in Edina and Bloomington recently voted to oppose closing the Southdale court, saying it would hamper residents' access to the justice system and would cost the cities more by having to handle cases in downtown Minneapolis. The Southdale court on Tuesday listed 62 defendants on its daily calendar, but only a few people could be found in the lobby area just before lunch. Some visitors said it would be inconvenient for them to have to go downtown if the Edina court closed. "Trying to do anything downtown would be a hassle," said Dave Langholz of Edina. Closing the Southdale court, he said, "doesn't seem to make much sense ... when the fix is worse than the problem."

Page 20 Woodbury figures out how to fill a housing void Article by: JOY POWELL , Star Tribune Updated: March 11, 2012 - 10:32 PM Woodbury's imaginative program uses a revolving loan fund to help people buy foreclosures. Each month, Jeanne Hoffman sends off a check for $62.50, and she's actually grateful to pay that bill. The money goes to the city of Woodbury for an interest -only deferred loan that helped her buy a foreclosed townhouse. Since Woodbury's Foreclosure Purchase Program began in 2009, Hoffman and 44 other buyers have qualified for the $25,000 loans, at 3 percent interest, city officials said. The program is growing, and so is interest in it. "It helps families buy, helps stabilize the neighborhood and tax base, and helps lenders and Realtors put deals together," said Woodbury city planner Karl Batalden, who administers the program. Unlike other programs that rely on limited federal funds, Woodbury funds its revolving - loan program primarily with a local Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy, but uses a federal block grant, too. The interest -only payments that buyers make are nearly covering the operating costs of the program, which is becoming a model for other communities. "We're unique because it's a local commitment to a local problem, funded by local dollars," Batalden said. The 45 loans given so far total more than $1.1 million, he said. Woodbury's HRA uses the program to help applicants buy foreclosed townhouses, condos, twin homes and single-family houses. There's a balloon payment after 30 years or when the house is sold. Hoffman, the 45 -year-old owner of a small house-cleaning business, said the loan, which is really a second mortgage, helped her buy her two-bedroom townhouse for $79,900, plus her appliances. Page 21 Now, when she writes out her monthly check on the Woodbury loan, Hoffman said, she sees a greater purpose than simply making a payment. "When you give it back, it's like you're helping someone else," she said. "You're paying it forward, and it feels good because you're helping to keep the program going." Woodbury also stands out because Batalden works closely with lenders and real estate agents, said a half dozen people in the mortgage industry. "I haven't seen anything like it at all," said Kathy Lawler, a lending officer with Summit Mortgage in Woodbury. "It's not driven by the county; it's actually driven by the city." Lawler said Woodbury's flexible program allows higher income brackets and home prices than other programs. Under Woodbury's guidelines, a buyer's income cannot exceed 115 percent of the current area median household. For a one-person household, the limit is $67,620. For a family of four or more, it's $90,000. "It's truly for working people who either want to get back on their feet or take advantage of this market," Lawler said. "It's meant to go back into the homeowner who wants to invest in the community and stay. That's the difference I've seen." Other assistance programs target hard-hit neighborhoods or geographic areas, but Woodbury's is for any home in the city that's in foreclosure, facing foreclosure or in short sale, before the home is vacant. (In short sales, a lender agrees to be paid off at a price that's less than what's owed on the mortgage.) To qualify for the loans, applicants must contribute at least 5 percent of the total cost of buying the home, with a purchase price that cannot exceed $256,500. Lawler said in nearly every purchase agreement that her agents draft under the program, sellers agree to concessions such as paying closing costs, which go toward that 5 percent for the buyer. Some buyers are able to get into a home without spending a dime out of pocket, she said. "The process is very simple," said Felecia Mann, a 30 -year-old insurance worker who bought the townhouse she'd long eyed for $100,000, with the help of a Woodbury loan. "Seriously, it's just a couple of pages of paperwork and your lender fills it out," she said. In addition to her payment on her first mortgage, Mann pays $66 a month on her interest -only loan for her townhouse near Valley Creek Road and County Road 19. "It's a little more work for your borrower and for the lender, but the truth is, if the borrower qualifies, it's a terrific program," said P.J. Harris, a mortgage banker at Prime Mortgage, a division of the Business Bank in Minnetonka. Page 22 "The work that's done by the bank, by Woodbury and the borrower is a very worthwhile endeavor. It makes a difference," Harris said, adding that borrowers can get a better home for the money without expanding risk. "This is helping the financial stability of the neighboring properties," Batalden noted. "A vacant home is a potential public safety threat, a potential infrastructure threat, a potential code violation," he said. Last year, Minnetonka officials sought Batalden's advice while developing guidelines for their own program. Lawler, the Woodbury -based lender, said she can't understand why more communities aren't following suit. "Woodbury has made it simple," she said. "Here's the money. Use it. Put it back into our community, and get it up nd running. "That keeps the people coming. It keeps the tax dollars flowing on those properties, and we can thrive as a community." Joy Powell • 651-925-5038 Page 23 Transit: Battle brews over suburban opt -outs by Charley Shaw, Politics in Minnesota Published: March 9,2012 Time posted: 2:48 pm As the House Transportation Policy and Finance Committee creates its omnibus bill, a turf war over transit systems is playing out among suburban and urban legislators. The dominant player in transit is the Metropolitan Council's Metro Transit system of buses and trains. But the Legislature has also allowed some communities to receive state money to operate their own system independently of the Met Council. House Transportation Chairman Mike Beard, R -Shakopee, comes from an outer suburban area that has a long history of going it alone on transit. And at a hearing on Wednesday, his committee laid over several bills for inclusion in the omnibus bill that would enhance the so- called opt -out communities. "In years past," Beard said, "legislatures have seen fit to let some people come outside the box and try their own thing and it's working rather well, actually." The Met Council is opposed to the bills. Rep. Frank Hornstein, DFL -Minneapolis, said the bills would weaken the Met Council, which has already made reductions in service in response to difficult budget times. "What's happening here is there isn't enough money in the system, so they're managing cuts," Hornstein said. "They're picking winners and losers — expanding suburbs over the inner -ring suburbs and city. It's very divisive, and it doesn't get at the cause of the problem, which is that the state is not funding transit adequately." One of the key opt -out bills comes from a suburban DFLer, Rep. Bev Scalze of Little Canada. She is upset that Metro Transit doesn't provide more service in her community and is proposing to allow more suburban communities to create their own transit services. Her bill raises long-standing issues about equality and local control that have arisen since 1981, when lawmakers first allowed local communities to opt out of Metro Transit and run their own operations. There are 12 communities that have put together six transit systems. In 1987, in the midst of state budget difficulties, lawmakers prohibited communities from opting out and grandfathered in the existing opt -outs. Scalze's bill would undo the 1987 restrictions. "There are some communities that have it. There are some communities that don't," Scalze said. "I think it creates an unfair situation [because] we are all paying for the service. We are subsidizing some of these services, and I just believe everyone should have a fair chance at what they're being taxed for." Page 24 In addition to general fund subsidies, the various transit systems receive proceeds from the statewide motor vehicle sales tax (MVST). On Wednesday Scalze inserted an amendment that would sunset the power of communities to set up their own transit systems after four years. However, the expansion of opt -outs, said Rep. Alice Hausman, DFL -St. Paul, creates the need for more infrastructure like bus sheds. "When you allow individual communities ... to do their own planning, it's inefficient and ineffective," Hausman said. "A centralized system absolutely would be more efficient and effective. But we've grandfathered in this one group, and they, I would argue, get the opportunity for negotiating their own Cadillac -level service." Judd Schetnan, the government affairs director for the Metropolitan Council, said the MVST revenue has been volatile and Metro Transit has had to reduce service. But he said the approach in Scalze's bill creates "haves and have-nots." "You cannot have that additional service until you have the funds to offer that type service to everyone," Schetnan said. "And we don't have that right now." Beard is sponsoring a bill that increases the amount of MVST money that the state allocates to the opt -out communities. Beard noted that the percentage of the tax that's given to the opt - outs has stayed stagnant as their services have expanded. Beard's bill would increase the MVST money to opt -outs from 3.74 percent to 6.25 percent. He noted that Metro Transit gets 36 percent of MVST. Robert Lilligren, a Minneapolis City Council member, said the bill doesn't address the underlying issues of transit funding throughout the region. "To me," he said, "it does little good to the region to take from the majority of transit users to give to a smaller minority.... I know there are tensions between transit providers in our region, and to me a change like this does little to assuage those tensions. Rather, it really sets up winners against losers." Beard disagreed. "To think that we're taking money from the big white bus company, while that might be slightly accurate, in the last several years they've gone from 21.5 percent to 36 percent of the statewide total. The opt -out providers have stayed at 3.74," Beard said. Other opt -out bills deal with the proportionality of budget cuts distributed throughout the metro area and Metro Transit fare increases. Page 25 The Senate Transportation Committee, whose chairman, Joe Gimse, R -Willmar, comes from greater Minnesota, has not been as active on the opt -out issue. But Gimse expects to see some of the proposals in an eventual conference committee. "We've had discussions with [Beard]," Gimse said. "We've seen the merits of allowing for the expansion of the opt -outs and the provisions that give them a little more freedom to do their own thing. And we completely support that." While the issue of opt -outs created the most sturm and drang last week, the bigger long-term issue facing lawmakers is transit governance. Last year, the legislative auditor issued a report that lamented the lack of trust and the layers of complexity among the various transit operators. The auditor's report recommended some sort of reformed regional government that includes local elected officials. Currently, the governor appoints all the Met Council members. Beard and Gimse have pursued the idea of removing transit from the Met Council's portfolio of services, a move that the Dayton administration opposes. Testimony was taken on March 5 in the Legislative Commission on Metropolitan Government about the idea of creating a separate regional transportation governance board to take over for the Met Council and regional rail authorities. The board would have two county board commissioners from each of the seven metro counties. The governor would appoint someone from either township or city governments from each of the current Met Council's 16 districts. There will also be other citizen members, as required by federal law. Beard, however, said there's not enough time in the session for the Legislature to pass a transit governance bill. "As proud I am of the work we've done to move things along, I know there's more collective wisdom that needs to look at this and make suggestions. We haven't even begun that," Beard said. Hornstein also anticipates changes to the structure of Twin Cities regional government. He's introduced a bill with Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL -Minneapolis, to create a panel of stakeholders to come up with specific legislative proposals. "There's an issue with governance, we acknowledge that," Hornstein said. "Let's at least pass a bill to get the ball rolling." Page 26 Zebra mussel inspections could prove very costly • Article by: TOM MEERSMAN , Star Tribune • Updated: March 13, 2012 - 4:17 PM Scores of inspection stations would be needed to lower the risk that zebra mussels will spread. Annual cost: $10 million to $28 million, and possibly more. The state is looking at a range of scenarios for protecting lakes from the spread of zebra mussels, including a plan that would have state inspectors tag boats as clean or potentially contaminated based on which lakes they've been frequenting. The study could have major implications for boaters who use Prior Lake, considered one of the most infested lakes in the state, as well as 28 other lakes in Minnesota where zebra mussels have been confirmed. Page 27 A consultant for the Department of Natural Resources looked in detail at three lakes -- Minnetonka, Mille Lacs and the Gull Lake chain near Brainerd -- and outlined a plan for Hennepin County as a whole to show how extensive an inspection program would have to be to contain zebra mussels. Hennepin County alone could need 34 centralized boat inspection stations -- including 12 around Lake Minnetonka -- to prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the consultant concluded. The study estimated that 300 stations would be needed statewide; Hennepin County would need the most because of its large population and high use of public and private boat accesses. The study estimated the annual price of centralized inspection stations at $22 million to $28 million annually, about 10 times more than the state has been spending in recent years. If funded by surcharges on boat licenses, the cost of a three-year license could jump by $35 or more. "These are some ideas that need to be vetted further," said Luke Skinner, supervisor of the DNR's invasive species program. The study presents seven scenarios for greater restrictions that range from $10 million per year (inspecting only boats leaving containment zones around key zebra -mussel -infested waters) to $610 million annually (inspecting all boats entering and leaving all 3,600 public and private boat accesses in the state). The mussels fasten themselves to hard surfaces such as boats, docks, motors and trailers, and in their larval stage are too small to be seen in bilge water and bait buckets. Some people are urging mandatory inspections and boat washing to keep the mussels from being transported carelessly or inadvertently by boaters who move from lake to lake. Red lakes and blue lakes One approach described in the study is a red lake/blue lake system, in which infested waters would be classified as red, and non -infested lakes would be called blue. Boats in red lakes would be required to have a red tag, and would need to be inspected and possibly decontaminated in order to get a blue tag to move to a clean lake. Boats in blue lakes with blue tags would receive a red tag if they launched in infested waters, but otherwise could move freely from blue lake to blue lake without inspections. The inspection stations themselves could be at strategic lakes, or in centralized locations that might serve a cluster of nearby lakes. Skinner said the study provides a good "snapshot" of options, but not necessarily a direction that the state will follow. Zebra mussels have been confirmed in 29 lakes and nine rivers in the state, he said, and are suspected in about 30 additional connected lakes. As the mussels have spread, lakeshore owners and lake advocates have urged the DNR to do more to contain them. Last year, the Legislature devoted $5.6 million from state lottery proceeds as a one-time expenditure for the DNR to purchase more boat -washing stations and beef up inspections at heavily trafficked lakes that are already infested, such as Lake Minnetonka. Page 28 Skinner said that establishing a stricter inspection system for boats that leave or enter infested waters would require legislation and permanent funding to enforce. "All of these ideas would take new laws," he said. "You'd have to have new authority to require mandatory inspections." Ramping up for summer Eric Evenson, administrator of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, said the state needs to do more work on estimating the true costs of zebra mussels before it moves toward higher fees or mandatory inspections. No one has determined how zebra mussels in a Minnesota lake might affect property values, he said, or what they could mean for a resort. "Without knowing what the real costs and economic impact of this are going to be," Evenson said, "it's going to be really hard for the state to know what direction to take." With one-time appropriations this summer, Skinner said the DNR will hire 146 additional inspectors, focus inspections on high -use areas where mussels have been confirmed, and require training and permits for individuals and businesses hired to put boats, boat lifts and docks into lakes or rivers. Sustaining those programs will require a long-term source of funding, according to a separate DNR report delivered to the Legislature in January. Boaters currently pay a $5 surcharge on their three- year license fees that goes into an invasive species fund. The January report estimates that surcharge may need to increase to $30 to $43 a year, depending on boat size. To find the reports, go to www.dnr .state.mn.us/invasives/index_aquatic.html.

Recently released data pertaining to the payable 2012 property taxes has been compiled into charts, graphs and comparison reports for your review. The estimated market value on the majority of residential properties decreased 2.1% for the 2011 assessment for taxes payable in 2012, compared to decreases of 1.9% for commercial and 0.6% for apartments. The decreases for the 2011 assessment affect the payable 2012 property taxes. The first tier of residential homestead tax is calculated at 1% of the Taxable Market Value from $0 to $500,000. The remainder of value is calculated at 1.25%. In 2011, the Legislature repealed the Homestead Residential Market Value Credit and replaced it with a new program called the Homestead Market Value Exclusion. The homestead market value exclusion reduces taxes on residential homesteads; and on the house, garage and one acre for farm homesteads. The maximum exclusion is $30,400 at $76,000 of market value. The exclusion decreases after $76,000 and ends at a market value of $413,800. The payable 2012 property tax per school district varies due to school bond referendums. A table summarizing the history of taxes by school district is viewable on the following page. The figures for 2012 are broken out by unique taxing authority (UTA). The estimates do not include the agricultural homestead credit, This Old House or Veteran's exclusions. There are eleven different tax calculations within the four school districts due to watershed districts. Examples of how to calculate payable 2012 taxes using the MEDIAN market value of each UTA is included at the end of the memo. Our contribution to the fiscal disparity pool for commercial/Industrial properties changed from 41.7963% in 2011 to 39.5255% in 2012. School Market Value Rates, City Market Value Rates, and Solid Waste Market Value Rates are not figured into the Tax Capacity Rate Breakdown. The percentages of the referendums are listed to the right in the following illustrations. 2012 Property Tax Summary - Page 1 of 21 Page 30 Taxes include the tax extension rate, school, city and solid waste market value rates where applicable as well as the market value homestead credit and education tax credits.

The Lawful Gambling fund ended the 2011 year with a balance of $12,961.87. The fund is comprised of two components; 3% Lawful Gambling Regulatory Tax program and 10% Lawful Gambling Contribution program. The 3% Lawful Gambling Regulatory Tax program has been earning only interest since 2005 as the City no longer collects the 3% tax but has opted to charge an investigation fee instead. The funds are restricted to be used for charitable gambling enforcement. The 10% Lawful Gambling Contribution program received $5,364.00 from Plymouth Lions and $6,323.40 from Wayzata Youth Hockey Association for a total contribution of $11,687.40 for 2011. Including interest earnings of $75.59, the amount in this program of $11,762.99 was transferred over to Park & Recreation to assist in funding Music in Plymouth. I have attached the donation detail list outlining donations made to various organizations from Plymouth Lions. All proceeds received by Wayzata Youth Hockey Association go towards the purchase of ice time and facility improvements at Central Middle School Arena and Plymouth Ice Arena. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information. Thank you.

Attached is the executive summary of that report. The complete report is 190 pages, and if you are interested in viewing the report, it's available online at: http://www.auditor.state.nm.us/default.aspx?page=20120314.000 Attachment Page 54 Executive Summary • Relief associations held nearly $440 million in net assets at the end of 2010, representing accrued benefits for 20,479 firefighters. (Pages 5 and 27) • Investment earnings accounted for $40.5 million, or 56.3 percent, of the total $72.0 million in relief association revenue. (Page 7) • In 2010, relief associations received $17.1 million in fire state aid, an 11.0 percent increase from the amount received in 2009. (Page 8) • Relief associations received $13.2 million in municipal contributions in 2010, a 69.2 percent increase over the $7.8 million received in 2009. Of the $13.2 million received in municipal contributions, $9.8 million was required to be contributed by statute. This required municipal contribution amount was roughly $6.0 million more than was required in 2009. (Page 9) • In 2010, there were 1,455 benefit disbursements to members or their beneficiaries. These disbursements included lump -sum service pensions, monthly service pensions, survivor benefits, and long-term disability benefits. The 1,455 benefit disbursements represent a 2.0 percent decrease from the 1,485 benefit disbursements that were made during 2009. (Page 5) • A total of $27.8 million in service pensions was paid out by 422 different relief associations in 2010. The $27.8 million paid out in 2010 represents a 9.7 percent decrease from the $30.8 million paid in 2009. (Page 16) • In 2010, relief associations had an average rate of return of 8.7 percent. Investment returns decreased from the 16.0 percent average rate of return in 2009. (Page 12) • Rates of return for 490 relief associations, or 69.5 percent, matched or exceeded their calculated custom benchmark rates of return during 2010. This is down from the 85.1 percent of relief associations that matched or exceeded their benchmark return in 2009. (Page 13) • The average rate of return for relief associations over the past ten years was 3.0 percent, below the statutory interest rate assumption of five percent. There were 659 relief associations, or 95.6 percent, over the last ten years that had average rates of return below five percent.

COUNCIL PRESENT: Mayor Slavik, Councilmembers Wosje, Bildsoe, Stein, Black, and Johnson. ABSENT: Councilmember Willis. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Ahrens, Community Development Director Juetten, Public Works Director Cote, Water Resources Manager Asche, Police Chief Goldstein, Police Captain Lindman, Parks and Recreation Director Evans, and Deputy Clerk Baird. ALSO IN ATTENDANCE: Representatives from Three Rivers Parks District: Nybeck, Brasch and Barten; Residents Terrie and Kevin Christian; Representatives from Wayzata School District: Carlson, Sherwood, Dallin and Roth. Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Water Resource Manager Asche stated that Three Rivers Park District would like to have the City provide funding for inspectors at the public boat launch on Medicine Lake during the times that are currently not being staffed. These inspectors are trained to inspect boats to prevent the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) from one lake to another. These AIS include zebra mussels, which are very invasive to lakes and destroy the natural habitat. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck explained that the launches are not staffed between the hours of 5:00-7:00 a.m., and 9:00-10:00 p.m. Research has shown that usage times are minimal during these hours and it is not fiscally feasible for the Three Rivers Park District to provide funds to staff the launches during these hours. They do have coverage from 7:00 a.m. — 9:00 p.m., which represents 93% of the boat traffic. The spread of zebra mussels is less contagious in the spring and fall months due to the lower weather and water temperatures. It costs about $24,000/year/launch for the inspections. Staffing the launches in the summer would be the most effective. To cover the additional 3 hours/day would cost an additional 30% or $12/hour x 600 hours (June/July/August) = $5000. Three Rivers Park District is looking to possibly use volunteers to help during these hours. If each property owner volunteered two -three hours per summer that would help close this gap. Adopted Minutes 1 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 60 Currently, Medicine Lake does not have zebra mussels. Currently there are only three lakes in Minnesota that have them. There are 60 lakes that would be affected by the three polluted lakes through their watersheds. Medicine Lake is the 2nd largest lake in Hennepin County. It has been designated this year as a destination lake. If the City wants to protect the other lakes in Plymouth, Medicine Lake would be a good starting point. Resident Terrie Christian stated that Fish Lake did try using volunteers. However it would not make good staffing for inspections. It would be good use of City funds to have someone go through the DNR training program that would be trained in inspections and would be part of Three Rivers Park District staff. Mayor Slavik inquired as to why Three Rivers Park District doesn't close the launch if there is no staff and usage is minimal. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck replied that it is a public waterway and the State hours of use are 5:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. Mayor Slavik stated that this would not stop the spread of AIS but slow it down. Docks could also be a cause of spreading the AIS. She asked if this is a water quality issue or recreation issue. Also, if this is done for Medicine Lake, does the City to do this for every lake in the City to be fair to our residents. Water Resource Manager Asche replied scientists disagree whether it is a recreation or quality issue. For issues with the AIS, there are more things coming this way. No one practice is a guarantee of prevention. The focus is on slowing these things down. Councilmember Stein asked if it is possible to have a charge for boat launching to raise revenue for the inspectors. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck replied that singling out a particular user group is not feasible. It's also not allowable in the State to charge a fee to launch a boat into water that is public property. The Three Rivers Park District has implemented a parking fee in association with the parking lot maintenance. Mayor Slavik asked if staff has an estimate on what other alternatives would be. Water Resource Manager Asche replied that gate systems were discussed earlier in February at a cost of about $30,000-40,000 dollars at each of the boat launches. There are currently public boat launches on Schmidt Lake, Parkers Lake, and two on Medicine Lake. Other items discussed were decontaminations systems and having inspectors present. Councilmember Black stated that it was her understanding that previously the City made the connection between Parkers Lake and Medicine Lake, however what was the purpose? Water Resource Manager Asche replied that the City installed a lift station on the east side of I-494 in order to move the drainage from Parkers Lake to the lift station to get it to flow to Medicine Lake. The natural flowage was blocked by I-494 and therefore had to be redirected. Public Works Director Cote added the lift station only operates during high flows. Councilmember Black stated if the City incurs a zebra mussels problem, inlets could become operational issues. The City has the interest of maintaining that infrastructure to be operational because other costs would be incurred to clean them. Public Works Director Cote stated the pump would become an issue because other facilities are experiencing electrical operation issues. Adopted Minutes 2 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 61 Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck said that there are 14 local launches. If you multiply the shortage of $5000/launch x 14 that explains why there aren't enough funds for the launches. Three Rivers Parks District cannot justify the extra cost in low usage areas. The DNR is focusing their efforts on high usage launches. Economically, they cannot monitor each boat that enters the lakes for 17 hours a day. Councilmember Johnson asked if the City of Medicine Lake has been approached to assist with the funding. Ms. Christian said yes and they are interested. However, the membership is only $25/year. Those monies are used for newsletters and administrative costs for the group only. There are no extra funds. Councilmember Black said the City budget is set for 2012, and this isn't a budgeted item. Councilmember Stein asked if there's funding available from the Legacy fund. Water Resource Manager Asche replied the Legacy funding is earmarked for total maximum daily low. If you could equate the AIS issue to a water quality issue that is how you get to Legacy funding. Ms. Christian said they are hoping to do more with the legislature this coming year for funding. There are 30 lakes statewide with zebra mussels already. Quagga mussels are in three lakes in Minnesota, and they are worse. The funds allocated for 2012 are one -time -only funds. Also, there are only 20 decontamination units in the state. They've contacted Hennepin County, but there hasn't been a response. Councilmember Stein indicated that it is a small amount of money, and it is currently not in the City budget. The City doesn't control the lake. Councilmember Black asked if the City funded $5000, would that come from the water resources budget. Councilmember Johnson asked if the City has authority to enact a fee outside of Hennepin County Parks budgets to recoup the costs. Ms. Christian said they were hoping that the funding could come from the surface water management fund because the scientists are saying it is a biological pollution and not only do zebra mussels collapse fisheries but also the good algae. It is not just boaters that use the lakes. Councilmember Johnson asked if there is any way to connect any type of a fee to the inspections. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck replied that fees can only be charged for services including the parking of a car/trailer in the parking lot. The Three Rivers Park District can't add a charge for something the resident doesn't use. Councilmember Stein asked if Three Rivers Park could raise the parking fee to cover the 600 hours. With 4,500 launches, that's basically $1 extra from parking funds that would cover the shortage. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck replied they have considered it, but elected not to do that because it becomes punitive to raise the cost of parking too high. Of the 4,600 launches annually, 2,000 of them are repeat users. Adopted Minutes 3 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 62 Councilmember Black stated the City does have the ability to license the people who have docks on the lake. It would also then become an enforcement issue. Ms. Christian stated that in 2012 dock owners will need to be certified as a requirement by the DNR. Councilmember Wosje stated that the City couldn't just designate Medicine Lake to be manned, when there are large portions of residents who use all the lakes. There should really be user fees put in place. Councilmember Stein asked why the Three Rivers Park District eliminated the entrance fees to the park. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Representative Nybeck replied the fees were eliminated because the consensus was that the entrance fee made it difficult for all residents to enjoy the use of the park. The costs were recouped in increased levies. The Council requested a future report from staff that would include further information and recommendations. Wayzata High School Scoreboard Request Mayor Slavik stated that there is an issue with the advertising that was to be implemented on the new scoreboard for Wayzata High School. This new sign would require a change to the City ordinance. Wayzata School District Representative Roth stated that before the Wayzata Boosters can proceed in the fundraising phase of this project, there needs to be a final plan in place with more accurate cost estimates and definitions. The nature of the scoreboard is fundamentally different than a commercial sign that would be along side a road right of way. Councilmember Stein stated the current sign ordinance was drafted very carefully to prevent digital advertising signage and distractions from roadways. Would the City be opening the door to advertisers if the ordinance is amended? Community Development Director Juetten replied the City Attorney believes that the biggest issue is commercial concerns. There are two versions of the ordinance amendment. One version is the revised code is written so that the signs cannot face public right-of-way. The second version, the one that staff recommends, is the scoreboard could only be operational during game times. Mayor Slavik asked about the ordinance and what if it's on a scoreboard, like the fields at Zachary? Community Development Director Juetten replied this version specifically addresses scoreboards, and the other one is that the scoreboard could not face public right-of-way. At Zachary that would be difficult. The City does own that park, so the City has more control. Councilmember Wosje asked if the ordinance includes residential neighborhoods, where the board might face an adjacent home. Could something be added into the ordinance that could prevent this? Community Development Director Juetten replied no. It only pertains to public Adopted Minutes 4 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 63 right-of-ways. Any additions would defeat the purpose, because there are houses in view of the scoreboard. Councilmember Johnson stated the right of way piece was for traffic safety. If you live next to a football field, there will be noise and lights inclusive of games. The addition of a digital scoreboard running during the games, which would allow sponsorships that help generate revenue and school pride, is a positive thing. Wayzata School District Representative Carlson stated they are moving the scoreboard to the other side of the field so it will not be viewable to any residents. Councilmember Black stated her concern is that it doesn't appear on a major thoroughfare. If the City Attorney can draft an amendment to the ordinance that would prevent that from happening, she could support it. Councilmember Stein asked if it's possible to add stipulations to the ordinance varying hours of operation and events. Community Development Director Juetten replied yes. However, limiting hours of operation to specific maximum hours of operations during game time, could prevent the board from being used the entire duration of the game if they ran into overtime. City Manager Ahrens wanted to clarify that the change that is being discussed is that the Council has already approved the digital screen scoreboard and it is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance by conditional use permit. What the amendment to the ordinance would allow would be for advertising to be displayed in the digital display portion of the scoreboard for short periods of time and not just replays or action clips. Wayzata School District Representative Carlson stated they are asking for the content display of the video display board. The current ordinance states that the signage can't be changed except every 15 minutes. Mayor Slavik asked if staff has considered drafting a separate scoreboard ordinance, and if this is allowed, what we might have at other schools in the City? Community Development Director Juetten replied the City ordinance specifically states scoreboards, however the City Attorney will review it. There are some schools that could do it. Armstrong High School's would be allowable. Providence Academy wants something but has not come forward. Wayzata School District Representative Carlson stated that when the ordinance was drafted, there were two specific sections so that the scoreboards would be allowable at those locations. The conditional use permit would not, and there are specific setbacks. Mayor Slavik asked if there was a deadline on this project. Wayzata School District Representative Roth replied they have six months to complete the scoreboard. Community Development Director Juetten stated that Wayzata's scoreboard would need a conditional use permit so it would have to go before the Planning Commission before it could be presented to the Council. There is also a $300-$500 text amendment. The question is who would Adopted Minutes 5 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 64 pay for the text amendment when the Wayzata boosters already paid for a text amendment in 2011. Councilmember Johnson proposed the City pay for this text amendment since they previously paid for it. Councilmembers Stein and Black gave their support. Councilmember Johnson would support this as long as the City's initial intent remains in place. Mayor Slavik requested more specific information from the City Attorney in regards to what the City is up against in regards to commercial advertisers. Community Development Director Juetten stated this could be heard by the Planning Commission on March 21St and then by the Council on March 27th Hotel Reeistration Ordinance Police Captain Lindman stated the current State Statute does not require that all persons staying at the hotel/motel be registered, or that if a person registers with false information it would be a misdemeanor. The reason the Police Department wants to propose the ordinance change is that this would allow the police one more way to investigate people who are staying at hotels on a regular basis who may have warrants, or may be wanted by the law. Currently now the hotels are not required to write the ID information down, however if they were to write it down in the ledger it is more evidence in prosecution. All other cities follow State Statute and do not require further information. The problem with tracking of personal information in registries at hotels/motels is that there are concerns about identity theft. The proposed ordinance change would give the Police Department one more tool to use to arrest people that would give false information on the registry because it would now be a misdemeanor. This new change would also require hotels to review ID's of all guests staying in a hotel room in the registry. However, making people register their ID numbers and credit card numbers could violate privacy laws and make identity theft more possible. There was discussion on what types of ID's would be required and if that information should be kept in a log. It was decided that registrants should show their ID to the hotel clerks upon check- in, however, only the person in charge of the room would need to be logged in the registry. Police Chief Goldstein said that currently some of the hotels/motels don't follow state law. They collect information on the person registering, but they don't ID other guests. There are incidents where there are continual problems. Councilmember Johnson stated she isn't comfortable making this change. She believes it is a violation of an individual's right to privacy, putting them at risk for identity theft. Adopted Minutes 6 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 65 Councilmember Johnson asked how this would affect groups (i.e., school groups) staying in hotels, where minors are involved. Councilmember Stein wanted to know at what age a person would be considered an adult. Police Captain Lindman replied that minors would not be required to show ID. The student who looks older should be able to prove they are a minor with a school ID. Councilmember Stein stated he supports the ordinance change, however not the recording of the information. Councilmember Black stated she support the original option, not the alternative. Mayor Slavik stated she support the ordinance with some changes. Police Captain Lindman indicated that the Police Department has discussed the state law requirements with all hotel/motel managers in Plymouth. Police Chief Goldstein stated staff will revise the proposed ordinance and bring back to another study session. Councilmember Bildsoe believes that if the Police Department has a problem, the Council needs to help solve the issue. Street Lighting Rates Public Works Director Cote stated that during this past year, staff has looked at all the streetlights to make sure they worked. During this process, comparisons were made between the streetlights, the bills to the residents and the bills charged to the City by Xcel Energy. Staff found that there were 100 different street light rates. This was due to the fact that each development stage was charged to the lots incorporated in each phase. Some had 30, some had 40, etc. and were charged per development. These rates were based on the charges from Xcel Energy, the styles of the lights and estimated usage. This analysis doesn't quite get the City to where it needs to be. One example is that the streetlights on traffic signals aren't being charged correctly. Staff is recommending that the rates be reduced 12 different rate structures based on Xcel service area or charge everybody the same throughout the City. This will be easier to audit and easier to track. He cautioned that 2,500 properties are yet to be verified which could affect the final outcome of the charges. Councilmember Black asked if the City has a current streetlight standard for builders. Public Works Director Cote replied no. Councilmember Bildsoe asked if everyone gets charged for streetlights. If you have them in your neighborhood do you get charged? And, will everyone who is supposed to get charged remain getting charged? Public Works Director Cote replied that only those currently getting charged would remain getting charged. Adopted Minutes 7 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 66 Councilmember Stein asked if the properties are spread out throughout the City. Public Works Director Cote replied that most are in developed areas within the last 20 years. Council supported one rate structure that would come back to the Council in the near future. Parkers Lake Cemetery At the direction of Council, Public Works Director Cote compiled information dating back to 1974 on Parkers Lake Cemetery as well as a survey on other cities who own cemeteries. Plymouth is consistent with all other communities. He stated over the years there has not been much change in the care and maintenance of the cemetery. In 1991 and 2009, the City Code was amended to include changes for the cemetery. However, maintenance has not changed. All other communities that adopted cemeteries have the same maintenance care. They provide basic services of mowing and trimming. Some communities have landmark cemeteries and budget cemetery care accordingly. Most communities have absorbed the cemeteries and their costs. The City has a perpetual care budget of $180,000 for the cemetery. All lots are sold. There are 100 lots that are vacant. There is a waiting list of about 25. On behalf of Councilmember Willis who was absent, City Manager Ahrens asked about the level of maintenance. Councilmember Willis's concern is that there are settlements in the grounds and markers that are tipping. Councilmember Willis would be interested in any improvements that could be made to the ground so that maintenance would be easier for mowing, etc. Staff will have to look at and give estimates on filling in these settlements. Parks and Recreation Director Evans suggested putting this item in the park maintenance budget to improve the "park". Councilmember Bildsoe stated that there are funds allocated in the City budget for perpetual care so those funds should be used for maintenance and to level the grounds. Public Works Director Cote stated that park maintenance makes it part of their fund. The perpetual care fund of $180,000 would go down fast if it's allocated towards cemetery maintenance. Parks and Recreation Director Evans reported that staff estimates $5,000/year for the maintenance of the cemetery. Compost is used in the care, however there are other areas that are lower and would need fill. Mayor Slavik asked if the City were to start using the $180,000 perpetual care fund for maintenance purposes, how soon before the funds would be depleted. Public Works Director Cote replied approximately 20 years. Councilmember Black requested that staff look at the gravestones and determine maintenance when surveying for property maintenance. Parks and Recreation Director Evans stated staff will provide estimates and bring a report back to the Council. Adopted Minutes 8 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 67 Noise Ordinance Police Chief Goldstein and Community Development Director Juetten provided a review of the City's noise ordinance. The majority of noise complaints are relative to industrial noise. Major contributors of noise complaints are Medtronics, Olympic Steel, Len Busch Roses, and US Foods. These complaints are in relation to fans and motors that continually run. Steps have been taken and some of the companies have complied on their own and fixed problems. However, the current ordinance is out dated with a sound control plan. If there are complaints on industrial noise the City doesn't have the tools to measure the decibel levels on complaints. In the past the Police Department hired an outside consultant for $1,200 for a study on a noise complaint, only to find that the noise was not violating the law. The City of Eden Prairie's noise ordinance includes animals, loud vehicles, commercial and industrial concerns which could be a good model to follow. Councilmember Johnson stated that if there is no law being broken, the issue should stop there. The City's role is not to change government. The council should work with residents. Councilmember Bildsoe indicated the City could ask someone to mediate, but we can't make the violator do something if they aren't breaking the rules. Community Development Director Juetten said that Medtronics tested their noise levels, and they were in violation, so they brought in a silencer which has brought down the noise to acceptable levels according to the current ordinance. However, their low frequency noise and vibrations are still there. The City has no authority to correct it. Police Chief Goldstein pointed out that with Eden Prairie's ordinance, when businesses make applications for new construction or revisions to existing businesses, Eden Prairie submits a noise impact statement which explains how loud their business may be. The city will share the cost with the business owner to assist with sound issues. If Eden Prairie initiates the violation than the Eden Prairie pays. If a complaint is generated and is above what the noise impact statement suggests, it needs to be studied and fixed. Councilmember Johnson asked how often the Police Department has a noise complaint. Police Chief Goldstein replied every night with Olympic Steel. City Manager Ahrens asked if there have been any violations. Community Development Director Juetten said both Medtronics and Len Busch Roses were in violation, but they both did something to bring down the noise. Councilmember Black stated that it appears the City is doing what needs to be done. The companies have complied. At some point citizens need to know that everything possible has been done. Staff will bring a proposed ordinance back to the Council for consideration. Adopted Minutes 9 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 68 Set Future Study Sessions No study sessions were scheduled. City Manager Update City Manager Ahrens gave her quarterly update to the Council. Adjournment Mayor Slavik adjourned the meeting at 8:45 p.m. Lisa K. Baird, Deputy City Clerk Adopted Minutes 10 of 10 Special Meeting of February 21, 2012 Page 69 Adopted Minutes Special Council Meeting February 28, 2012 Mayor Slavik called a Special Meeting of the Plymouth City Council to order at 5:37 p.m. in the Medicine Lake Room, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, on February 28, 2012. COUNCIL PRESENT: Mayor Slavik, Councilmembers Wosje, Willis, Stein, Black, Bildsoe, and Johnson. ABSENT: None. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Ahrens, Engineering Technician Simons, and City Clerk Engdahl. Redistricting City Clerk Engdahl gave a presentation on the new congressional and legislative lines that the legislature released on February 21 and how those lines affect the current ward and precinct lines as the City goes through the redistricting process to reapportion the population based on the 2010 Census. She indicated that staff prepared two alternate options for the Council's consideration. Both options are identical with the exception of removing an area on the west side of I-494 between Schmidt Lake Road, Fernbrook Lane, and Rockford Roach, from Ward 1 and allocating that area to Ward 4 (Alternate 1 Option). This option allows for the future anticipated growth of 2,000-3,000 residents in Ward 1 in the next 10 years, while Alternate 2 Option gets the population as close as practicable in each of the four wards. The Council discussed the plans, and the majority requested that approval of Alternate 1 Option be placed on the March 13 Council agenda. Future Study Sessions The Council requested that the Planning Commission be invited to the development tour on May 1 at 5:00 p.m. Adjournment Mayor Slavik adjourned the meeting at 6:30 p.m. Sandra R.

General Business (8.01) Rezoning and Preliminary Plat for "Terra Vista" Development at the Southeast Corner of County Road 47 and Dunkirk Lane (GWS Land Development of Plymouth, LLC -2011095) Senior Planner Darling reported on the rezoning and preliminary plat applications for the "Terra Vista" development located at the southeast corner of County Road 47 and Dunkirk Lane. She spoke of the revised preliminary plat resolution at the Council's places this evening that reworded item 6b(3) of the resolution to state, "Provide a public street connection to 5915 Dunkirk Lane. The right-of-way shall align with 59th Avenue as shown in the Exhibit submitted February 28, 2012." Councilmember Stein reported on correspondence received from Dana and Sherry Reinke, 16405 County Road 47. Senior Planner Darling explained there are two access points to their property, with one access being on the south side of their property and one off a stub street in this proposed Adopted Minutes 3 of 8 Regular Meeting of February 28, 2012 Page 73 development near County Road 47. Reinkes are requesting that the road located just to the south of that stub road be extended through the proposed cul-de-sac to serve their property. Councilmember Black asked why Reinkes aren't supportive of the southerly access road. Senior Planner Darling replied staff is unsure. Steve Roell, 5915 Dunkirk Lane, stated he supports the latest proposal regarding right-of-way aligning with 59th Avenue. He thanked staff and the developer for the help they provided him. Paul Hetchler, 5855 Dunkirk Lane, stated his original concern was his driveway access as they have a special needs daughter that gets picked up by a bus everyday so he desired a turn around area on Dunkirk Lane for that bus versus backing out on a curve. The latest proposal that was presented today addresses that concern, and he also thanked staff and the developer for working with him. Paul Wardell, 16395 County Road 47, stated he supports this development, but he wanted to share a few concerns with the Council that could have unintended consequences in the future. He stated drainage from this development would drain east onto his property, so he's concerned about erosion. The wetland on his property used to contain water, but this is a beautiful pond as there is no fertilizer runoff from adjacent properties to this pond. He's concerned about the volume and the quality of water flowing into this pond, as he would hate to think that three to five years from now, this pond would become a green sluggish pond. His stated his second concern is the access on County Road 47. He noted the high volume of traffic in the mornings heading east on County Road 47. There is no stoplight along that stretch, and there are many days he has trouble getting on County Road 47. With the proposed development, there will be even more traffic on County Road 47. He stated the traffic on County Road 47 isn't coming from Plymouth residents but people from other communities who are heading east to go on Vicksburg Lane and then south to Highway 55. Bob Schoeneberger, 16845 County Road 47, who lives west of this development, thanked the developers for the latest change to 59th Avenue in this development. Councilmember Black asked about drainage of this site both during and after construction and for the treatment of water. Bob Molstad, engineer for the applicant, stated they are constructing storm sewer as far down from the north, installing two filtration areas to treat that water before it runs off to the east and directed to the water treatment pond. He stated the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission has requested them to amend their channel numbers and redesign the backyards of six homes. The drainage will go east along the ditch and under County Road 47 and connect into the utility system. He stated they will need to meet the City standards for water runoff. Public Works Director Cote added that there will be less runoff and greater treatment of the water from the current conditions to their new design. Councilmember Black asked about access to County Road 47 for this development. Public Works Director Cote stated with this development, the developer will be constructing an Adopted Minutes 4 of 8 Regular Meeting of February 28, 2012 Page 74 eastbound turn lane onto Dunkirk Lane and a west turn lane on Dunkirk Lane off County Road 47. He stated that it's unlikely that this development will make the road conditions worse west of Dunkirk Lane. Councilmember Willis requested the applicant to explain how they're going to grade the site to developable building plans for lots that will work due to the extreme elevation of this property. Dave Gonyea stated most of the lots have 30' flat backyard before there is a grade change. There won't be any lots that drop off like a cliff. Councilmember Willis asked from side yard to side yard, how are they addressing the break in grading. Mr. Gonyea replied the yards flow with the road, and there are no retaining walls between homes. The break in grading isn't that significant. Councilmember Willis asked staff if the grade differential between properties will work as usually there is a drainage easement between properties. Public Works Director Cote replied as designed with the concept house pads on the plan, it's relatively reasonable to expect that they shouldn't have very many retaining walls. He stated there will be variations when buyers desire something different than what the developer's engineer designed. The only way to regulate that is by not allowing a variance from what the engineer designed. Councilmember Black asked if Peony Lane is redesigned to County Road 47, would that alleviate traffic on County Road 47. Public Works Director Cote replied some traffic on Lawndale Lane might be short circuited on Peony Lane rather than going east on County Road 47 and then south on Vicksburg Lane. Motion was made by Councilmember Black, and seconded by Councilmember Stein, to adopt a an Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to classify Certain Land located at the Southeast Corner of Dunkirk Lane and County Road 47 (2011095 — Ord2012-06), Resolution ApprovingFindings indings of Fact for the Rezoning of Land located at the Southeast Corner of the Intersection of Dunkirk Lane and County Road 47 (Res2012-074), and an amended Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat for GWS Lane Development of Plymouth LLC, for "Terra Vista" for Property located at the Southeast Corner of the Intersection of Dunkirk Lane and County Road 47 (Res2012-075) as handed out this evening. Councilmember Black requested that a joint meeting with the Hennepin County Commissioners regarding County Road 47 be added to the pending study session list. With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. (8.02) Preliminary Plat for "Hampton Hills South Plateau" (Hampton Hills Investment, LLC — 2011097) Councilmember Black stated she removed this item and the next item from the Consent Agenda as historically, Hampton Hills has had a lot of flooding on the south side of the golf course. She Adopted Minutes 5 of 8 Regular Meeting of February 28, 2012 Page 75 requested the staff or the applicant to explain what they're doing to raise the elevation on the south lots. Senior Planner Drill stated regarding the elevations, there is a 30' center rise on the southern plateau area. All homes would have basements and be above the wetland elevations. Councilmember Willis and Mayor Slavik also shared Councilmember Black's concerns. Jacob Fick, applicant, stated they share the same concerns. He explained there will be a minimum of 10 plus feet from the high water level to the basement levels of homes. He stated the golf course portion of the site has always been high. The area that was part of the golf course was delineated after the golf course was done. They'll be using the soils in place which are native clays and compactable fills. It's fills that they can put in place with machinery and compact the fill so they have a suitable base to build homes on. They haven't done any dewatering on the site, and there are no springs under the plateau area. Councilmember Willis asked how their construction equipment will be accessing the site when the development is under construction. Mr. Fick replied they would use 55th Avenue. Councilmember Willis stated that will be a lot of wear and tear on that new road. Councilmember Black asked the applicant that for those lots that abut the creek, would they be willing to use different soils for a filtration strip so would absorb water before it goes to the creek. Mr. Fick replied yes. Mayor Slavik stated her concerns regarding this development which are the southern area being a secondary site for the Excel project, and the very close proximity of lots to the railroad tracks. She asked if disclosure statements will be given to prospective buyers. Mr. Flick replied yes. Councilmember Johnson asked if there is any fencing from the backyards to the railroad tracks. Mr. Fick replied no. Councilmember Johnson asked how the Excel project could affect this development. Rob Wachholz, applicant, stated they are proceeding with the development plan for that parcel Excel has identified, which is approximately 10 acres of the southern most 10 acres. Their effort wasn't to block Excel, but they have a builder for the south plateau. Public Works Director Cote added this site becomes less desirable for Excel once platting is approved and the streets are constructed. Mayor Slavik asked if there is any notification of this process given to Excel. Public Works Director Cote replied no, but they are very well aware of the proposed development of this property. A discussion was held with Mr. Wachholz and Mr. Fick regarding the basement level and the high water levels, specifically the rear yards for Lots 23 through 27 of Block 1. The Council Adopted Minutes 6 of 8 Regular Meeting of February 28, 2012 Page 76 requested to add another condition to the resolution as 3d(7) to state, "Provide four inches of compost soil amendment in the rear yard areas of Lots 23 through 27, Block 1." Motion was made by Councilmember Black, and seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to adopt a Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat for Hampton Hills Investment, LLC, for "Hampton Hills South Plateau" for Property located at 5313 Juneau Lane (2011097 — Res2012-076,) with the addition of condition 3d(7).

Motion was made by Councilmember Black, and seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to adopt an Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to Amend Section 21655.56 PUD 81-1 (2011099 — Ord2012-07), Resolution Approvin Figs of Fact for Amending Zoning Ordinance Section 21655 (Res2012-078), Resolution Approving PUD General Plan Amendment to allow an Emergency Department Addition to the WestHealth Campus located at 3005 Campus Drive (Res2012-079), and a Resolution Approving a Preliminary and Final Plat for Allina Hospitals and Clinics for "West Suburban Health Campus Third Addition" for Property located at 3005 Campus Drive (2011099 — Res2012-080).
