The council is ignoring its current development plan, the city said, and already is acting based on the dramatically different approach to growth embodied in its proposed Blueprint 2030, which won't be approved until December. Julius Smith, Met Council representative for the Lakeville area, said the council is not taking any action. "All we did was authorize a study," he said. And it's something the council might have done for other reasons, irrespective of Blueprint 2030, he said. The council has offered to consider running a line past Lakeville out to Elko -New Market, a 10 -mile extension well outside the current limits for urban services. Skipping over the countryside between Lakeville and Elko -New Market amounts to "leapfrog growth," the city said in a news release, contrary to the council's own "stated policy goals." Although its true that Blueprint 2030 envisions targeting those two cities as rural growth centers, Smith said the sewer study fits into a different context as well. Cities on the urban edge are seeing growth, he said but are having a hard time accommodating it with their own facilities. At the same time, many people are building in rural areas and putting in septic tanks. The council wishes to encourage growth with sewers, Smith said, and part of the agreement with cities and nearby townships would be to curb the development without sewers. "Elko -New Market is going to grow whether we are there or not," Smith said. "We'd rather have those houses on sewers than splattered all over, especially in an area with a lot of marshes" and other water that could be affected by failed septic tanks. The suit was filed in Dakota County District Court. — David Peterson is at dapeterson tartribune coin. © Copyright 2002 Star Tribune.

The City's average weighted yield continues to decline as money from maturities, calls and cash receipts must be invested at today's low interest rates. Short- term rates remain on par with the Fed Funds rate of 1.75%, which is at a 40 year low. Long-term rates also remain at historically low levels due to the perception that inflation is well contained and continued weakness in the equity markets. I would expect that the City's average weighted yield will continue to slowly decline through at least mid -2003. A turn -around will not be seen until the economy picks up steam and the Fed begins to raise short-term rates. Due to a large number of recently called bonds, the percentage of investments with a final maturity within 3 years has declined from 42.35% in Q2 to 27.19% in Q3. In addition. the percentage of our portfolio with a final maturity over 7 years has increased from 15.4% in Q2 to 18.69 % in Q3. The extension of our portfolio out the yield curve has enabled the city of maximize our current yields. However, this does expose the portfolio to interest rate_ risk should the economy strengthen and interest rates begin to rise. To correct this imbalance the will be investing in shorter maturities during the 4`t' quarter. This will have the effect of depressing current yields but will serve to enhance performance when interest rates rise.

This alarm will only be activated if the water level in the underground manhole structure reaches the "high water level." The sanitary sewer lift station is designed with pumps capable to handle both current and projected ultimate flows from a fully developed condition. The high water level will not be reached unless there is a mechanical malfunction or an extended power outage. If the high water level. is ever reached, the horn alarm would be activated as well as the emergency phone system to immediately alert City personnel of the problem. For your further information, the alarm is preset to sound for a maximum of five minutes at which time it would automatically stop. In addition, there is a button on the side of the cabinet which anyone could push to stop the horn alarm. It is certainly the City's hope that this sound alarm will never go off, but it is one additional warning device, particularly for the homes at the bottom of the cul-de-sac, in the event of a potential problem with the City's lift station. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 763-509-5520. Sincerely, Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E. Director of Public Works cc: Dwight D.

Access to the project site will be from the City of Maple Grove side. The first order of business is to cut down and remove trees that have been previously painted. Following that, sediment will be removed from the existing pond near the rock dam structure. The rest of the grading and stabilization will be ongoing throughout much of the winter. Plantings will follow in the spring. Since this area under construction can be dangerous, we are requesting that you do not enter the work zone when machinery of any type is in operation. Also, please be prepared for an unsightly mess while the construction is in progress. We hope you will appreciate the long-term erosion and beautification results this project hopes to achieve.

Johnson, City Manager SUBJECT: Mooney Lake Pumping The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was scheduled to discuss and vote on pumping plans for 2003 at their December 19`" meeting. However, due to short notice or no notice to residents, they agreed to postpone their discussion and decisions until their next meeting on January 9h. One issue that is likely to arise is what lake level should trigger pumping in the future? Watershed staff are considering a 990 elevation, about two feet above the Ordinary High Water (OHW) level but about two feet below where any property would flood. 990' is about the level where the chances of flooding would begin to exceed one percent which is the watershed's rationale. Residents may well want pumping below 990 to save trees, minimize erosion, etc. but costs to both the City and the watershed would go up accordingly in trying to maintain a lower elevation. Attached is some background information for you on this issue. DATE: December 19, 2002 TO: ACity Councilmembers FROM: Daniel L. Faulkner P.E. Director of Public Works SUBJECT: MOONEY LAKE EMERGENCY PUMPING As indicated in my November 20, 2002 memo to you, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board (MCWD) will be conducting their regularly scheduled monthly meeting tonight with one of the items being the Mooney Lake Emergency Pumping. A final report dated December 11, 2002 has been prepared (and is attached) by Dale Claridge with WENCK Associates, Inc. to the MCWD. The pumping which began on September 30 was terminated on December 3 due to ice buildup, but during the two month period of operation it lowered the lake water level approximately 14 inches to elevation 990.0 which is still two feet above the ordinary high water level (OHW). Included in the engineer's report are four recommendations for the MCWD to consider at their meeting and are as follows: 1. At least two water level measurements should be taken at Mooney Lake through the ice this winter and a staff gauge installed on the lake as soon as the ice melts next spring to monitor water levels. 2. A permit application should be submitted to DNR as soon as possible in order to continue the emergency pumping next spring. 3. Emergency pumping should be initiated if water levels on Mooney Lake rise above elevation 990.0 in the spring of 2003 and should cease when water levels drop below elevation 990.0 which is the approximate level of the lake at which the annual risk of structural flooding is less than 1 %. 4. The MCWD Board should consider authorizing a limited feasibility study to evaluate up to three potential routes and determine associated costs to install a permanent emergency pumping system which would be used on an occasional basis. N:\pw\Engineering\GENERAL\hMMOS\DANF\2002\MooneyLakePmping_FinaU49.doc SUBJECT: MOONEY LAKE EMERGENCY PUMPING Page 2 The estimated costs for these items are as follows: 1. Winter water level monitoring $1,000 2. DNR water appropriations permit application $5,000 3. 2003 emergency pumping; mobilization and installation, $7,000 monthly equipment rental and power cost $3,800 4. Feasibility study for a permanent emergency pumping system $11,000 The engineer's report indicated that the City is willing to split the above costs on a 50150 basis with the district. Note, this type of cost sharing arrangement was discussed at the November 19 meeting between staffs and it was a consensus to proceed with this recommended cost sharing to the MCWD Board and to the City Council. In addition to the above costs, there would be other costs to the district for coordination, monitoring, and reporting associated with continuation of the emergency pumping effort in the spring. The amount of initial coordination between the district and the City in getting the emergency pumping system up and running again, assuming the same contractor is used, should be minimal and is estimated to be less than $3,000. Coordination, monitoring, and reporting during the pumping period is estimated to cost roughly $3,000 per month. After the MCWD Board considers their engineer's recommendations, the City will have an opportunity to consider their offer before any aspects of the engineer's recommendation moves ahead. City staff does have some concerns about the 990.0 elevation for initiating emergency pumping as we feel it should be somewhat lower to at least provide for an operational range before emergency pumping would be necessitated. Probably the most time sensitive aspect of initiating an emergency pumping plan again in the spring is the DNR permit approval process for the required water appropriations permit. It is my understanding that this process typically takes a minimum of 60 days for DNR to review and approve this type of permit. Depending on the actions of the MWCD Board tonight, staff will be preparing a City Council agenda item regarding the permanent emergency pumping plan, including preparations for emergency pumping in the spring. attachment cc: Dwight D.

MEMORANDUM TO: Eric Evenson, District Administrator Minnehaha Creek Watershed District FROM: Dale Claridge, P.E. Wenck Associates, Inc. RE: Mooney Lake Emergency Pumping DATE: December 11, 2002 Emergency Pumping Results P The Mooney Lake emergency pumping was terminated on December 3, 2002 due to ice buildup and safety concerns after about two months of continuous pumping. During the two-month pumping period extending from September 30 to December 3, water was pumped from the southeast bay of Mooney Lake through an above -ground pipe and into a ditch along the north side of County Road 6 that drains into Pinetree Pond in Plymouth. A copy of the final pumping report dated December 5, 2002 and a graph showing recorded water elevations for Mooney Lake are attached. The purpose of the emergency pumping was to reduce the risk of structural flooding of homes. The water level of the lake at the end of the pumping was approximately elevation 990.0, which is 1.17 feet (14.0 inches) lower than when pumping began. At an elevation of 990.0, the water level of the lake is now at a point where the annual risk of structural flooding is less than 1%. However, it is anticipated that with next spring's snowmelt and rainfall, water levels on Mooney Lake will likely rise back to levels above elevation 990.0, thus increasing the risk of structural flooding. Pumping Costs The final numbers needed to calculate the total costs for the emergency pumping are not available at this time but the costs are expected to be close to the final cost estimate of $24,200 that was previously established for the two-month pumping effort and was agreed to be paid 50150 by the District and City of Plymouth. This does not include the in-kind costs incurred by both parties to prepare and implement the emergency pumping plan, obtain necessary permits and approvals, obtain price quotes from contractors to do the pumping and provide electrical service, secure right of entry agreements from affected property owners, furnish and install the culvert under Troy Lane, contract for and oversee the pumping activities, and monitor discharges and downstream water levels. These in-kind costs have not been finalized yet but the District's T:\ 0185\04\299 -Mooney Oudet Meeting Memo.doc r Eric Evenson December 11, 2002 Page 2 portion of the in-kind costs incurred since receiving Board authorization on September 12 to proceed with the emergency pumping is estimated to be around $30,000. November 19 Meeting With Local Cities and Hennepin County As directed by the Managers, Minnehaha Creek staff met with representatives of Hennepin County and the Cities of Plymouth, Medina, and Orono on November 19 to review the progress of the Mooney Lake emergency pumping and to explore whether a possible long-term solution to address the high water problems was needed or supported by the Cities. It was a general consensus that emergency pumping should be continued next spring utilizing the same pumping system if lake levels are high in the spring. There was no support to construct a permanent outlet for Mooney Lake. Instead, the group felt a more justifiable alternative would be installing the infrastructure for occasional emergency pumping consisting of a permanent electrical power supply and underground conveyance pipes. If emergency pumping is required again in future years, a dewatering contractor would be hired to install and operate submersible pumps placed in the lake similar to those used this fall. DNR Water Appropriation Permit The emergency pumping done this fall was covered under DNR General Permit No. 2000-6117 authorizing temporary pumping of up to 50 million gallons over a 12 -month period for flood control purposes. A total of 45.4 million gallons of water was pumped from the lake this fall. Emergency pumping continued next spring would quickly exceed the 50 million gallon limit allowed under the general permit. An individual water appropriation permit would be required from the DNR authorizing additional pumping next spring. Recommendations 1. At least two water level measurements should be taken at Mooney Lake through the ice this winter (January and March) and a staff gauge installed on the lake as soon as the ice melts next spring to monitor water levels. 2. A permit application should be prepared and submitted to the DNR as soon as possible in order to obtain the required individual water appropriation permit authorizing the continuation of emergency pumping next spring. 3. Emergency pumping should be initiated if water levels on Mooney Lake rise above elevation 990.0 in the spring of 2003 and should cease when water levels drop below elevation 990.0, the approximate level of the lake at which the annual risk of structural flooding is less than 1 %. T:\0185\04\299 -Mooney Oudet Mating Memo.doc / Eric Evenson December 11, 2002 Page 3 4. The Board should consider preparing a limited feasibility study to evaluate up to three potential routes and determine associated costs to install a permanent emergency pumping system as described above, to be used on an occasional basis. The estimated costs are as follows: • Winter Water Level Monitoring - $1,000 Taking water level measurements of the lake in the winter will require drilling a hole in the ice and shooting the water level using survey equipment and the existing benchmark established on the Pokorny property. • DNR Water Appropriations Permit Application - $5,000 This includes evaluating downstream impacts, updating the emergency pumping plan, and reporting on water usage. • 2003 Emergency Pumping - Mobilization and installation - $7,000 - Monthly equipment rental and power costs - $3,800 • Feasibility Study for a Permanent Emergency Pumping System - $11,000 This includes looking at a maximum of three pumping routes in Plymouth located in the same general area as the current emergency pumping route. The City of Plymouth has indicated they are willing to split the above costs 50150 with the District. In addition to these costs, there would be other costs to the District for coordination, monitoring, and reporting associated with continuation of the emergency pumping effort in the spring. The amount of initial coordination between the District and City of Plymouth in getting the emergency pumping system up and running again, assuming the same contractor is used, should be minimal and is estimated to be less than $3,000. Coordination, monitoring, and reporting during the pumping period is estimated to cost roughly $3,000 per month.

The downstream section of pipe on Rohman's property was also removed and hauled offsite. The other sections of pipe and float basket/screen for the pumps were left onsite by the dewatering contractor and will be used again next spring assuming we will be back pumping again. Overall, I am pleased by the pumping results this fall and the minimal impact it had on downstream water levels, especially considering the large amount of rainfall we received in early October just after the emergency pumping was started. Attached is a graph showing water elevations recorded for Mooney Lake since early September along with daily precipitation received during the 2 -month pumping period. Below is a final summary of the Mooney Lake emergency pumping: - Pumping was started on September 30 - Pumping was stopped on December 3 - We pumped a total of 64 days - During the pumping period, the average discharge rates generally varied as follows: 430 gpm/1.0 cfs (September 30 - October 28) 625 gpm/1.4 cfs (October 29 - November 2) 550 gpm/1.2 cfs (November 3 - November 26) 430 gpm/1.0 cfs (November 27 -December 3) - At the above rates, we pumped a total of 45.4 million gallons or 139.2 acre-feet of water from the lake - At a lake surface area of 115 acres, this volume is equivalent to 14.5 inches of elevation - The water level of Mooney Lake before pumping started was 991.15 and level at the end of pumping was 989.98, a difference of 14.0 inches - The current lake elevation of approximately 990.0 is 2.0 feet above the OHW and 2.9 feet below the elevation of the lowest home on the lake where structural flooding would occur - We received 3.94 inches of rain during the month of October and 0. 17 inches of rain/snow in November (Wenck Maple Plain gauge); the 30 -year normals for the MSP Airport for the month of October is 2.19 inches and for November is 1.55 inches - According to a recent article published in the Star Tribune, the month of November was the fourth driest Printed for Dale Claridge <dclaridge@wenck.com> 1 l�? mpanzer@wenck.com, 09:00 AM 12/5/02 -0600, December 5 Mooney Lake Pumping Update on record.
