Employee Recognition Event & draining TOPIC: Navigating Rough Waters - Thriving in challenging times Wilderness guide and whitewater instructor Chris Heeter, featured on National Geographic Today, has explored the relevance of whitewater skills to life skills for more than 20 years. Whitewater has much to teach us about productivity, communication, and life: 1. Worry and fear --how different the world looks when we focus on the route, rather than the obstacles along the way. 2. Staying in the present --how little it matters what has happened upstream, what is important is what is in front of us right now. 3. The value of working together/feeling like a team --no matter the route you choose, you are 100% more likely to stay upright if you listen and work together rather than try to choose 2 different routes in 1 canoe. Whether these times are frightening or exciting is up to each of us. Chris drives these points home with memorable stories of whitewater adventure and a breath of fresh air from a different point of view.

MnDOT Coalitions Forum Report: Claudia Dumont reported that over 110 people attended the forum representing a variety of coalitions, some of which represented roads with very little traffic. Also the attendees ranged from those with considerable understanding of federal funding to those with very little understanding. The main focus of this first meeting was to get the attendees answers or positions on a large number of transportation and funding issues. However due to the broad spectrum of attendees knowledge in these areas, MnDOT may not get the information they were expecting. A second forum is scheduled for March 4, 2011 (Note: this meeting has been cancelled and not rescheduled yet). MnDOT will compile the answers to the questions and send them out to the attendees. Marvin Johnson, Liz Weir, Jim Grube and Wayne Fingalson said they would try to make the next meeting. Contact: Wayne R.

Financial Report: Wayne handed out the Financial Report as of December 16, 2010. He noted the current fund balance of $23,986.43 which includes reimbursement from MnDOT of approximately $18,000. Motion by Jack Russek and second by Dennis Biese to approve the Financial Report. Motion was approved. • 2011 Budget—Liz Weir handed out the draft 2011 Budget for consideration. Brad Larson went through the proposed Revenues and Expenses noting that all the federal funds have been received and no new federal revenue has been identified. Question was asked about future funding and the long term plan for the Coalition. Brad said that hopefully their will be some form of federal funding or grants in the future. The Reauthoriztion bill appears to be the first place that the Coalition should focus on. Deb Steiskal noted that there needs to be a better definition as to what an earmark is. In the current Omnibus Appropriations bill be considered, there are 7000 earmarks. If the bill would be passed, it would be an 84% increase in the number of earmarks. Wayne said that Representative Bachmann's transportation projects that she submitted should not be considered earmarks. Motion by Wayne Fingalson and a second by Liz Weir to approve the 2011 Budget. Motion was approved. 7, Technical Advisory Committee/MnDOT Report: Tom Johnson reported that the draft Revised Metropolitan Council's Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) focuses on low cost/high benefit projects that MnDOT is moving toward. Project score better based on the current formula if they are in the more urban (inside 1494/I694 beltway) area. We will probably not see the large projects like the Hwy 62/Crosstown project in the future. Suburban counties have become more out spoken against this revised plan. A copy of the Minnesota Inter County Association letter to the Metropolitan Council was handed out at the meeting. Wayne Fingalson reviewed the CR 147 project that would connect CR 147 to the CR 134/Hwy 55 intersection. He explained a new option to connect instead to CSAR 34 (northerly extension of TH 25) in Buffalo. Wayne noted that part of the roadway has already been built as part of a development. This option is estimated to cost $1.3 Million instead of the original CR 147 project of $2.5 Million. Some R/W still needs to be acquired, but it should only cost about $10,000. Jack Russek said that the needed R/W is from just one owner who has the property for sale. The proposed plan would open this property up for development so acquiring the road R/W should not be a problem. This project would provide the 4`1' leg to the existing CSAH 34/Hwy 55 intersection and the existing intersections with CR 147 with Hwy 55 would be closed. This project is ready to start with Wright County in the lead. The project approval is to go to the Wright County Board next Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Wayne requested that the Coalition approve the remaining unallocated federal funds be allocated toward this project. He further clarified that the funding currently available would not be enough to complete the full project initially but they would try to do the rest in the following year. Brad Larson noted that the Coalition had included the original CR 147 project in its approval of potential projects to utilize federal funding. Claudia Dumont stated that this option is good for Hwy 55. Motion by Liz Weir and second by Jack Russek to use the unallocated federal funds remaining for the CR 147 Alternate project contingent on Wright County Board approval to proceed with the project. Motion was approved. Contact: Wayne A.

Legislative Updates. • Federal — Deb Steiskal said that the current Omnibus Appropriations bill before Congress is over $1 Trillion and 1900+ pages. Claudia Dumont noted that there has been no progress on the FHWA issue on the Hwy 55 environmental document issue. Deb will discuss this with Claudia. • State — Marvin Johnson said that Senator Amy Koch has been elected Majority Leader in the Senate and Tom Sorel has been reappointed Transportation Commissioner 9. Communications: The Coalition sent out letters of congratulations to all the Coalition's delegation of Federal and State legislators that were elected/re-elected in November. Many responded back thanking the Coalition for the letters. 10. Establish next full membership meeting date and time: The next meeting will be on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. at the Hennepin County Public Works facility, Training Room in Medina. NOTE: February meeting was later cancelled and the next meeting will be on Friday, April 15, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. at the Hennepin County Public Works facility, Training Room in Medina. 11. Other Business: Marvin Johnson commended Loren Harff for his work on the Hwy 55 Coalition and told members that Loren had chosen not to run for another term on the Greenfield City Council after serving 28 years. He was the last counselor to have been born and raised in Greenfield. Danny Nadeau said that the Hennepin County Board did a good job on the budget this year. The Commissioners went through a high level of detail in approving the budget. There were 70 -- 100 people attending the Truth In Taxation hearing with 40 testifying. Budget decreased 1 % which will be a small impact on a median average residence. The Transportation budget was reduced by $6.8 Million. Brad noted that the 2011 Dues statements were being mailed out. 12. Adjourn: On a motion by Liz Weir and second by Wayne Fingalson the meeting was adjourned at 10:41 a.m. Respectfully submitted: Brad Larson, SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Contact: Wayne A.

FEBRUARY MINUTES • The minutes were approved, as written. CAPSH PRESENTATION Kelly Goddard was unable to join us and will share an overview of the services of Community Action Partnership for Suburban Hennepin (CAPSH) at a later date. HOME BASE and BRIGHT START • Lynn Zemlin, Home Base Coordinator, provided an overview of the Home Base and Bright Start programs in the Wayzata School District. • Home Base started 30 years ago in the District. • It is now in all seven elementary schools and provides before and after school child care for elementary students, a "middle" program which serves kindergarten children in the half of the school day they are not in kindergarten, and the Bright Start program for children the year before they start kindergarten. • Home Base operates 12 hours a day. • The staff of 100 is more diverse, both by race and gender, than staff in the rest of the district, and many employees have been with the program for a long time. • It is a fee-based program, but some families receive scholarship help or County assistance, based on income. • Approximately 1,300 students participate during the school year and 900 during the summer. Wayzata's program is one of the largest in the state. • The programs are accredited which assures high quality. • The programs are inclusive and serve the needs of special ed students. • The program offers a very flexible schedule to meet parents' needs, which makes Wayzata's program unique and highly desirable. • Monitoring of homework is one component of the program, along with many options for activities and play. • The challenges faced by Home Base and Bright Start include the on-going effort to be flexible and accommodate the needs of families, and the need to balance budget constraints with the growing costs of providing extra activities, especially those that include transportation. Page 12 • Bob Wittman lauded Lynn for her excellent job as coordinator of these programs and shared his appreciation for all of the principals in the District who work in partnership to accommodate the needs of Home Base and Bright Start 2-23-11 FAITH -SCHOOL COMMUNITY CONVERSATION • Bob Wittman (one of the two facilitators of the event, along with Bridget Gothberg) reported that 91 people attended the event which included representation from the Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Muslim faiths and school district leadership. • The goal of the morning was to build relationships and to provide an opportunity to learn from one another. • Bob reiterated the importance of the role to convene community conversations like this. • Bob expressed his thanks to the Table Hosts (Charlene Barghini, Kristin Tollison, LaDonna Hoy, Judy Hanson, Becky Halvorson, Linnea Fonnest, Angela Bernhardt, Laurie Ahrens, Katie Jackelen, Brenda Heim, Becca Fink, Marcia Treno) for the critical role they played in the success of the morning. • CICC table hosts reported that it was very interesting to hear the stories that were shared. • General themes that emerged included the need to understand more clearly how the referral process for families/students in need might work more effectively between faith communities and the school, continued angst over the interpretation of the issue of the separation of church and state, and the importance of the development of relationships to ensure the sharing of resources, where appropriate. • In follow-up, participants in the Community Conversation will be given the contact information for everyone who attended and will be encouraged to connect with each other. Participants will also be invited to receive CICC minutes if they would like and/or participate in CICC meetings, if there is an issue or speaker that may be of interest to them. Finally, the CICC will review how our meetings might be structured next year to address some of the issues that were identified during the Conversation. COMMUNITY UPDATES Potential IOCP-Wayzata School District Partnership • Bob Wittman explained that progress is being made on the lease agreement for this partnership. • It is hoped that a final decision will be made by the end of April or beginning of May. Local Collaborative Time Study (LOTS) Grants • Kristin Tollison, member of the LCTS Grant Committee, reported that seven grants were reviewed today by the Grant Committee, chaired by Donna Marget. • Preliminary approval, pending review of evaluation data that will be received in the next month, was given to the following grants: Camp CONECT $35,000 Caring for Kids Initiative $35,000 2 Page 13 Chem/Mental Health $24,960 Infant Parent Home Visits $ 5,000 Primary Project $30,000 School Readiness $15,000 Y After School/Y Nights $14,500 TOTAL $159,460 • Kristin explained that grantees will be notified early in the process next year regarding the possible reduction in the availability of LCTS funds for 2012.

The City of Plymouth has no objection to your use of the lake for this purpose. We appreciate your commitment to conduct your training sessions and races in a safe manner, and your willingness to assist others on the lake who may be in trouble. Keep up the great work and have a successful, safe, and fun season! Sincerely, Eric J.

Box 41301 Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 March 28, 2011 Mr. Eric Blank Director of Parks and Recreation City of Plymouth 3440 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 Dear Mr. Blank, The purpose of this letter is to request the City of Plymouth for permission to hold sail boat races on Medicine Lake during the summer of 2011. As you are aware, the Medicine Lake Sailing Club has been conducting sailboat races on Medicine Lake since 1977. We are planning this year's racing season and need to obtain a permit from the Hennepin County Sheriff. In order to get a permit from the Sheriff; it is necessary for us to obtain written permission from the City of Plymouth for Medicine Lake use. The City of Plymouth established the written permission process in 1985 and has granted MLSC permission every year to run these races since that time. In all of our 34 years of operation, we have never had a significant safety incident, as we stress proper boating safety in all our training sessions and operating procedures. We have a committee boat on the lake during all races to assist any sailor that may capsize or be in need of assistance. Naturally, we also render emergency assistance to other boaters on the lake that may require it as well. As in the past, we will be carrying liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 for sailing regattas specifically. We have attached our preliminary racing schedule for the 2011 season for your review. We will be inserting temporary racing marks (buoys) in the water approximately one hour before the races begin. They will be removed every day at the end of the races. The races will be held in accordance with the rules of the United States Sailing Association, a nationally recognized yacht Page 22 racing organization. We anticipate that there will be up to 10 to15 boats participating in each race. The city of Plymouth is not expected nor are we requesting Plymouth to take any active part in the organization or conduct of the races scheduled for 2011. The County Sheriff, and not the City of Plymouth, issues the permit for the MLSC to race on Medicine Lake. Additionally, before members of MLSC are permitted to race, they must sign an application, which clearly states that the participant waves any liability on the part of the City of Plymouth for race participation. A copy of this years application is enclosed. Please forward your written permission, on behalf of the City of Plymouth, to me so that I can include it in our 2011 application for a lake use permit from the Hennepin County Sheriff. I can also be e-mailed at wbarniskis( ahoo.com if you prefer to use e-mail for your response. Thank you very much for your kind attention to this matter. Please call me at my home number 763-545-3054 if you have any questions regarding this permission request for the 2011 sailing season. Cordially, LUQ. .&� .� Walter A.

Schaeffer, III RE: Land Title Summons in Application for Registration of Land - Alina Schwartz Outlot J, Kingsview Heights Second Addition Samuel J. Edmunds Marguerite M. McCarron Dear Mr. Neilson. I represent the City Of Plymouth. The Land Title Summons for registration of Outlot J, Kingsview Heights Second Addition had been referred to me. City Council Resolution 2009-269 made the following Findings: Outlot J was intended to be common open space owned by the Kingsview Heights Homeowners Association, Inc. The approval of Kingsview Heights Second Addition was predicated upon this occurring. EICHI, Inc. is the constructive trustee of Outlot J for the benefit of the Kingsview Heights Homeowners Association, Inc. and does not have the right to plat the property to develop it as a single family home site. The Kingsview Heights Homeowners Association did not sign or consent to the filing of the plat application. EICHI, Inc is under an equitable duty to convey Outlot d to the Kingsview Heights Homeowners Association, Inc. to be held as open space. The City does not claim an ownership interest in Outlot J.
