DRAFT 1992-1996 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM -- During the past month, Fred Moore, Dale Hahn and I have met with representatives of.Ehlers '& Associates for the purpose of projecting the fiscal impact of our proposed capital improvement program. This year we have expanded the analysis to include cash flow projections for tax increment supported projects. Some projects contemplated in our various tax increment financing plans are not anticipated to be commenced prior to 1997, nonetheless, we wanted to examine our capacity to undertake them if and when they become viable. This report is being circulated to you at this time in order that you may begin to become acquainted with it. I will place this item on an upcoming City Council agenda for discussion and action. (I-1) 2. YMCA DETACHED WORKER PROGRAM -- At the last budget study session, Councilmember Vasiliou expressed concern about the purpose and funding of the YMCA Detached Worker Program. Attached is a memorandum from Youth Service Officer Nia Wronski, regarding her perspective on the program. The City Council has provided funding to the YMCA Detached Worker Program since 1987. The funding amount started at $1,000 and was approved at $2,300 for 1992. (I-2) CITY COUNCIL INFORMATION MEMORANDUM January 3, 1992 Page 3 3. CITY-WIDE CLASSIFICATION STUDY -- During the 1992 budget study sessions, the Council expressed concern about the funding formula for the city-wide classification update. The City Council previously received a memorandum on this topic. Attached is the final fee assessed against Plymouth for this study. While $5,000 was originally budgeted, the final fee is $3,550. The lower fee is based upon a larger number of cities participating than originally anticipated and the fact that only full-time, rather than both full-time and part-time employees were counted for fee assessment purposes. This method of calculation tended to favor the larger cities who have a greater number of part time employees who must be considered as part of this study. (I-3) 4.

City of Plymouth: Mayor Kim Bergman; City Manager James Willis, Community Development Director Blair Tremere; Building Official Joe Ryan; and Public Works Director Fred Moore. I. STATUS OF REPORT A. Wetlands Regulations - Fred Moore explained that the report of the Task Force had been approved by the City Council and essentially the Council was now waiting to see what transpired at the -state legislature which is considering a bill dealing with wetland regulation. Bob Burger and Greg Frank commented that there were aspects of the proposed bill that were.v.ery questionable in their application in urban areas. B. Financial Task Force Recommendation - Jim Willis noted that copies of the report had been handed out and he provided an overview which had also been shared with the City Council. The Mayor indicated that the Council had indicated an intent to have a financial advisory committee that could help the Council on an ongoing basis. The details of that committee have yet to be finalized. C. Springstead Study - Jim Willis provided an overview of the Springstead Study relative to the impacts of future growth. He noted particularly the parts of the report dealing with City Capital needs for operations and upkeep operating costs and their impacts. He noted also that the growth impacts relative to the Wayzata School District had also been reviewed. He said that the initial conclusion of the report was that taxes generated by new development would cover costs of that development. Bill Pritchard indicated that there was some pending legislation that called for a study about the establishment of transportation impact fees; he indicated that if that comes about there could be a profound impact upon new development. Fred Moore indicated that some municipalities have used storm water utility assessments to help absorb some of the cost impacts of new development. II. DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE IN PLYMOUTH - Blair Tremere explained that Bob Burger had asked that t is item be placed on the agenda. He said that since last winter when the Council initiated the Springstead Study, -there had been a number of inquiries as to whether the.City was placing a moratorium on development. One business publication CIM WDA even had the headline "City of Plymouth Puts the Brakes on Home Builders." He stated that the City Council had not established a moratorium but rather wanted to determine whether there was a likelihood of a negative impact upon existing taxpayers as a result of new development. They wanted that information before ordering the sewer project that would make more land developable in the west part of the City. Bob Burger commented that he and several other builders were concerned also about the political climate in the City. He stated that recent events suggested that the City Council was not focused particularly with respect to important long-term planning and development related needs. He asked the Mayor what was being done to improve the situation which seemed to be quite unstable. Mayor Bergman commented that the majority of the City Council had made certain decisions and that from his perspective the concerns of the Development Council would be addressed with an election in the fall. He stated that the majority of the Councilmembers however had adopted an ordinance which would bypass that election for another year. Marlin Grant asked about the status of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). Blair Tremere responded that the issue involving the MUSA had been resolved with the Metropolitan Council. The City still has an area in the northwest part of the City that is outside of the MUSA but the area about to be opened for development has always been inside the MUSA as far as the City is concerned. III. STATUS OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS - Blair Tremere advised that information had been submitted to the Metropolitan Council staff in response to their concerns that the City was not adequately linking the transportation planning with the Land Use Guide Plan provisions. He stated that hopefully the information would meet their needs so that the Land Use Guide Plan amendments approved by the City Council in December, 1989 could finally be approved. He stated that the Metropolitan Council is definitely concerned about the impacts of development upon the Metropolitan System which for Plymouth amounts to the arterial highways. Charlie -Pfeffer related some of the experiences Minnetonka had been having including the adoption some time ago of the I-394 corridor ordinance. IV. OTHER BUSINESS - Marlin Grant asked Fred Moore about the status of the street cleaning policy particularly with respect to the erosion control enforcement.. Fred Moore explained what was intended both for the spring and summer period. He expects that additional personnel will be available to inspect sites and enforce the policy. Joe Ryan commented that his recent meeting with builders resulted in a number of ideas for mitigating problems. He stated that the builders are becoming more aware of all aspects of the erosion -- control problem and inspection personnel have been striving to educate them also. He said that a suggestion had been made for a task force that could look at possible ways to improve the communication between the builders and the City. The Mayor indicated that soil erosion was a serious problem and that he felt that the policy should be reviewed to perhaps extend responsibility to homeowners who can eliminate or adversely revise the various control measures that the developers and builders have been required to install. Bob Burger stated that overall earlier concerns`by the Development Council had been addressed particularly with respect to the timing of calls before the imposition of fines. (dc/bt/5-8:jw) M -y MINUTES PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL AUGUST 14, 1991- PRESENT: 991 PRESENT: Bob Burger, Burger Development Group -Chair; Paul Anderson, Welsh Construction; Greg Frank, McCombs, Frank, Roos; Gary Laurent, Laurent Builders, Inc.; Marlin Grant, Mary Anderson Construction Co.; Rick Sathre, Sathre-Bergquist Inc.; Terry Forbord, Lundgren Bros. Construction; Craig Scherber, Craig Scherber and Assoc. City of Plymouth: Mayor Kim Bergman; Community Development Director Blair Tremere;Community Development Coordinator Chuck Dillerud; Assistant Building Official Don Munson; City Engineer Dan Faulkner; Public Works Director Fred Moore; and Fire Inspector Stan Scofield. I. STATUS REPORT: A. Springstead Study - Blair Tremere indicated that the City Council had directed that the Springstead Study completed last spring should be updated in ligiif of the tax laws passed by the legislature. He stated that completion of the update is expected within 30 days. B. Erosion Control Polic Task Force - Dan Faulkner stated that the Erosion Control Policy is being reviewed with an ad hoc committee that stemmed from the meeting with builders earlier this year. He stated that members of the committee include developers, builders and City staff. The intent is to get broad input before formulating any changes that would then go to the City Council. He stated that the group hopes to also get homeowner input. He stated there has been discussion about getting builders and suppliers and subcontractors more involved in addition to the initial developer. There have been a number of questions and suggestions as to how to involve the homeowners that also violate the Erosion Control Policy. Also there is consideration of better enforcement which might involve the issuance of "stop work orders" rather than only denying inspections which is what the current policy calls for. He stated that consideration is being given to adopting specific performance standards that can be used in the enforcement of the program since often a different person is involved each year. Blair Tremere indicated that he has discussed with the City Manager the possibility of having a sticker that could be left in.. the house at the -final inspection informing the homeowner of the importance of the grading and erosion control for the property.. C. 1992 - 1996 Capital Improvement Program - Fred Moore explained that the 1991 - 1995 Capital Improvement Program had been adopted on August 5, 1991 by the City Council. He stated that petition for improvements should be submitted to the City by October 1, (the normal deadline is May 1, so that they can be included in the process for reviewing the updated CIP. elm JAN 3'a lip`A 1 k: +.S D. Northwest Boulevard, Medina Road, Schmidt Lake Road - Fred Moore provided an update as to the status of the various projects. He indicated that another project involving Bass Lake Road should be underway next spring; he sated that this is a County project and a contract should be awarded this fall. He said the Bass Lake Road upgrading would be a two-year project. E. Community Library - Blair Tremere indicated that a quick -take order from Judge Burke had not been issued but was expected soon; this will facilitate the condemnation of the property as directed by the City Council. Site planning has not begun although the County had prepared some preliminary plans for_the corner of Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55. F. County Waste Transfer Station - Blair Tremere explained that the City Council had deferred final action on this item until next January; this basically was in response to the County staff request for more time so that the entire waste stream processing could be reviewed. He stated that recent information indicates that the County may trim the size of the proposed facility in that there may not be a need for another transfer station at least at this location. No revised plans have.been received from Hennepin County. II./III. DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE IN PLYMOUTH/CITY COUNCIL RELATIONS - Bob Burger inquired about the current rate of development and activity in the City. Blair Tremere and Chuck Dillerud responded and indicated the amount of applications and building permits that were being issued. Activity especially in the residential area is still quite high although it is not as high as the late 1980's. Bob Burger inquired about the election and the specific issue. The Mayor explained the results of the state law which dealt with cities seeking to change the election year. He stated that a referendum will be held first to determine if the ordinance passed last year should stay in force or whether it should be repealed. If the voters repeal the ordinance then there will be an election this fall. If the voters support the ordinance then there will not be an election until the fall of 1992. Bob Burger stated that there remains a perception that Plymouth has a very unstable political environment and builders take that into account when they are determining where they should invest their money and time. He stated that the City staff has done a good job working with developers and builders and that it is clear there can be negative pressures put on the City staff as a result of the political instability at the City Council level. The Mayor concurred but stressed that as far as he was concerned the Council was very supportive of the staff particularly with respect to development matters. IV. POSSIBLE ZONING ORDINANCE.AMENDMENT A. Exterior Lighting - Blair Tremere explained that the City Council had directed that staff and the City Attorney develop standards for -exterior lighting that would be applicable both to the private CIM 3AN 3 `92 1A.Lk and public sectors. He stated that research has been completed and a draft has been prepared by the staff; it will now be reviewed by the City Attorney before submittal to the City Council. He said the standards would give the City basis for pursuing complaints as a nuisance when lighting presents a problem. B. Screening of Trash Containers - Blair Tremere explained that the City was enforcing the current ordinance standard which required outside trash disposal containers to be screened from view within approved enclosures. Recently, containers designated for source separation were appearing on sites and were not screened. This resulted in enforcement actions and feedback from property owners who were not prepared to provide additional screening. The City Council had been approached by one of the trash haulers, on behalf of their clients, and the Council had indicated that a task force should be established to review the current ordinance standards and the prevailing requirements -of source separation and recycling. Paul Anderson stated that commercial buildings in particular should be reviewed in that there were benefits to the community and neighborhoods for having enclosures. Terry Forbord suggested that standards could be developed that would apply to existing buildings and sites as well as new developments; perhaps some parking credit could be given to retrofitting sites with appropriate enclosures. Time should be provided so that owners could conform with the standards. Bob Burger stated that containers used for source separation should be displayed outside as evidence that a particular business is supportive of the recycling. Blair Tremere suggested that the Development Council keep in touch with this item because the City Council at this point is seeking interested local business representatives as well as trash haulers to review the standards. The standards are aimed. -not so much at developers as they are to property owners and haulers. Clearly there are those who are on the Development Council who would qualify as local businessmen and more information will be coming out regarding the membership of that committee. C. Planned Unit Development Standards - Blair Tremere and Chuck Dillerud commented that the Planning Commission had been reviewing the PUD standards for some time and was not interested in "tinkering" with the standards but rather looking a comprehensive review and possible updating. Input was being solicited from City staff and eventually it would be solicited from other interested parties including the Development Council. Blair Tremere suggested that the Development Council may wish to have its own committee review the PUD standards and develop recommendations that could be eventually provided to the Planning Commission. Marlin Grant agreed and Terry Forbord suggested that he would appreciate the opportunity to meet with City staff and discuss the direction of the Planning Commission. CM JAN �'yG s Chuck Dillerud stated that he would let Terry Forbord know when the Planning Commission is going to schedule further meetings regarding the PUD standards. V. OTHER BUSINESS - Blair Tremere introduced Stan Scofield and explained that the fire inspection personnel have identified some aspects of the City Code that should be amended if provisions of the Uniform Fire Code have merit in the opinion of the Plymouth City Council. These were generally discussed some months ago with certain members of the Development Council but a specific recommendation was not produced for the City Council. A key issue is the one regarding access in single family developments which are now exempt under the Plymouth City Code. Stan Scofield presented his August 2, 1991 memorandum and commented that he would like to work with committee of the Development Council to explain the terms of the proposed changes so that a recommendation could be developed and sent to the City Council. Bob Burger and Marlin Grant indicated that they would meet with staff and would identify other interested members particularly those involved in the residential development business.

The League will also be sending travel information soon to make it possible for city officials to obtain the most affordable airline rates in conjunction with their conference attendance. It is very important to make your travel arrangements to allow time to meet with members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation on Tuesday, March 10. NLC direct member cities enjoy a $75 per person savings for conference registration. If your city is interested in joining the National League of Cities, please contact Ann Higgins, LMC Federal/ State Liaison. Ann can provide information on NLC membership and dues. Meetings with Minnesota Congressional Delegation Meetings with members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation provide an important opportunity to make our elected officials in Washington aware of local government views on key issues. City officials will talk about their concerns with both House and Senate members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation on Tuesday, March 10, on.Capitol Hill. The League will schedule meetings for city officials from.each of Minnesota's eight congressional districts with members of congress representing those cities. Together with colleagues from other cities in your congressional district, officials will discuss views of current federal policies and programs and concersn about pending legislation. affecting cities. M*I The League will also schedule meetings with both U.S. Senators from Minnesota to discuss key federal issues. All city officials attending the conference are strongly encouraged to take part in these valuable opportunities to urge the members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation to support measures to help cities meet critical housing, transportation, environmental and other needs. Membership on NLC Policy & Steering Committees The League of Minnesota Cities participates actively in the development of national municipal policy'at the National League of Cities. Please circulate the enclosed forms to officials who would like to become LMC delegates to 1992 NLC policy or steering committees. LMC President Peter Solinger will appoint five city officials to each of NLC's policy committees, and the League will nominate officials for appointment to steering committee positions (for which final selections are made by NLC committee chairs).

Our cities must be the founda- tion for an economic restructuring of America. In our cities and towns, we are the center of an economic revolution. The destiny we construct will determine the nation's strength to face new challenges from abroad. The risks the current generation grew up with have changed beyond recognition; the hopes and opportunities we have as leaders in the fields of health, education, infrastructure, and the environment will be more critical to America's security than any foreign challenge. We have the opportunity to succeed; we bear a greater chance of failure than perhaps any generation this century. The world as we knew it only one year ago has changed beyond recognition. The foreign military threats which shaped the last half cen- tury are fundamentally altered. The threats to our future will be shaped more by how we address issues at home than abroad. Our people, our communities, and our chil- dren five in a world where American strength and might will be tested by our ability to remake ourselves and rededicate ourselves to the future. In 1992, US. national security interests must be redefined. That redefutition must include the development of national policies to increase our economic strength and domestic stability. It will be time to have a domestic pol- icy. oloicy. It %ill be time to come home, America. In city after city, our citizens confront new fears - fear of losing a job, fear of not having access to health care for a sick child or sick parent, fear of violent crime, fear of an educa- tion system which no longer will prepare our children. While other nations are investing - in a part- nership with their local governments - in edu- cation, job training, access to health care, and infrastructure, our federal government remains locked in obsolete federal spending and bud- get priorities that provide neither the vision, no the flexibility to make our country com- petitive in the global economy. But tomorrow a mother or father in your neighborhood might lose a job - a livelihood when he or she is laid off as the business relo- cates to a city in Mexico, in China, in Germany, or in Poland. The company will say the foreign city has better transportation facili- ties, or a better educated work force, or less crime, or better job and skills training. Tbose, after all, are the new measures of strength and world domination. But what does it mean to a city officiaL� Lost wages. Lost property taxes. Lost hope. More 911 calls. Last year, our federal government reached out to help country after country around the world to meet emergencies, disasters, and trade needs. At home, the federal government reached in with mandates and preemptions. 1992 is an election year. It will be a time to come to the nation's capital and send a mes- sage - we can no longer afford the old way; we have to reshape and rebuild a new way starting from the city up. The old ways of Washington passing man- dates and leaving it to you to raise the local taxes and fees must stop. The unrelenting fed- eral disinvestment in domestic national security must stop. The ingenuity, the excitement, the training and skills, the unmatched investment in technology, materials, and human beings that have trade the U.S. military unmatched in history must be redirected into rebuilding our communities. But that will only happen if the leaders of America's communities make it happen. It is hard enough to deal with all the prob- lems of local constituents, to balance local budgets, and to meet local needs. Washington seems ever so far away. But what Washington does affects the bot- tom line of your budget. it very directly affects the taxes you have to support. There is no local taxpayer immune from the actions of the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. So next year the voters - your voters - will have an opportunity that comes only once every four years: to send a message. And you are a messenger. They elected you to represent them - to bring that message directly to die nation's capital. So come. let those who you helped elect and sent to Washington know what the con- certs of the citizens you represent are. Let them know what the priorities in 1992 for your city and town are. Let them tell you - specifi- cally - how they intend to respond, so that you can report back directly to your taxpayers. The Congressional Cities Conference in Washington, D.C. from March 7-10 is about leadership, accountability, and responsibility for reshaping the future. It is about making a difference. It is about joining with your colleagues from cities and towns across the nation to send a united message to Washington about redefining national security. It is about standing up for and reporting back to your community about the priorities of the federal government and how those pnon- ties will translate in your community. Unless you conte, your Constituents will not be represented, and we will not be one voice. THE BUDGET, TAXES, & THE DEFICIT 1992 promises to be a taxing year. The White House and Congress will debate whose taxes to cut. Tihey will debate the 1990 budget agreement. They will debate whether to cut defense spending in the wake of the breakup of the Soviet military threat. And the federal deficit will be far greater than for any year in American history. In 1992 the president and Congress will debate the cap on all domestic discretionary spending. That cap, which pits all city and town programs against each other in a shark tank, provides no flexibility to increase invest- ment in America. They will debate whether to change the budget agreement to allow savings from reduced defense spending to be invested in domestic economic security or not. U they reject any changes and increased investment, they will have to decide how to allocate resources within the shark tank And you will have to deal with the consequences for your community and taxpayers. The president will set the pace. He %ill pro- pose his budget to Congress in late January. That budget will show the nation what the president's priorities are for the nation's cities and towns - exactly what resources he will propose to pay for federal mandates, to help fight drugs and crime, to meet community and economic development priorities. to provide access to health care. 7be Congressional Cities Conference will come at a perfect time in the federal budget process. It will come just as Congress is decid- ing how to respond and whether to set its own priorities. What Congress decides will affect every citi- zen and taxpayer in your city or town. It will affect water and sewer fees. local taxes, and local services. It will affect your city's ability to issue bonds. This conference will be your very best chance to have an impact on this crucial, pri- ority setting Pte• It will offer your burst chance to tell your Congressman or your Senator what is happening in your community and how the president's proposed budget could help or hurt. And it will allow you to go home armed with key Wormation critical to adopting your own municipal budget The conference will bring together some of the key leaders from the administration, House and Senate to tell you what they intend to happen, what it might mean to your Communi- ty, and how you might help. And they will come to hear back from you. What do you thirdC In preparation for one of the most important issues of the 1992 Presidential election cam- paign and action in Congress on access to affordable health care reform, the Conference will feature a special legislative workshop of key federal and Congressional leaders to cis-- cuss health care reform and what such reform would mean to cities and towns. With millions of city and town residents denied access to health care, the issue is of ris- ing concern to city leaders. But cities and towns are concemed from the other side too - what do these potential reforms mean to cities as employers? Will new legislation mean more mandates? How will the feds pay for these changes? What will they mean? HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The nation's housing and community develop- ment laws expire next September. As Congress considers whether and how to reauthorize the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME state and local housing block grant programs, there will be significant challenges. A report issued through the U.S. Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) charges that cities and towns are large- ly responsible for the housing crisis in America: claiming that local zoning and land use regulations have added more than 30 per- cent to the cost of housing in communities. Efforts will be made in the administration and Congress to preempt or superegulate local brtd use planning and zoning authority. Others will criticize the CDBG program, claim- ing it gives local elected officials too much Flexibility. And the administration and others will seek major changes in the HOME pro- gram, including imposing stiff matching requirements. The conference will host a workshop at which leaders in the House, Senate and HUD will tell you what they plan for the future of these programs and what these changes might mean to you and your community. THE ENVIRONMENT, MANDATES & CITIES Next year Congress will focus on clean water and solid waste disposal - two issues of enor- mous consequences to cities and towns. Will Congress rewrite the stormwater requirements to make them understandable and affordable? Will the administration and Congress get out of the business of providing funding for munici- pal wastewater treatment, but stay in the busi- ness of federal mandates and enforcemeru? Will Congress help cities and towns deal with the growing crisis of municipal solid waste dis- posal - or simply impose more unworkable, unfunded federal mandates? The conference will provide information to you from the key environmental players in the administration and Congress to give you an idea what the federal government will do, how it will do it, and to whom it will do it Be there. Make sure you understand what they intend to do and what it would mean to you. And make an they understand what you think about their plans. PUBLIC ACCESS TO LOCAL DATABASE Federal and state proposals bringing the Freedom of Information Act into the computer age may threaten cities' Control over local databases. Issues such as privacy, equity of access, and fees for information services should be considered by all cities, but espe- cially those who are attempting to offer the convenience and power of computer access directly to the public. How can locals protect themselves from state and federal preemptive action? How can cities protect personal privacy? What steps can be taken to ensure freedom of information and equity access? Your participation and input is needed as the federal government begins to take up these issues. CIM jAK 3'92 11V W^1V1\1;V1J1L1\..

Z-1 CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 1992-1996 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The effective and efficient management of municipal finances is a complex and challenging Issue for' all appointed and elected officials. City government has an obligation to provide for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens in a cost effective manner. To accomplish this objective, the need to plan over time for anticipated and necessary capital expenditures becomes increasingly critical. As public resources become more scarce and citizens express concerns about tax burdens, it Is necessary for the City to establish priorities compatible with City goals. In the face of such realities, the City of Plymouth has developed the 1992-96 Capital Improvement Program. This Capital Improvement Program is one of the means used to implement the total City financial philosphy which include the operating budget, planning tools such as the Tischler Report, possible debt issues and other financial resources that may be available. The objectives established for the 1992-96 Capital Improvement Program are summarized as follows: 1. To determine and represent the improvement needs of the City of Plymouth in the following areas: a. Streets b. Sanitary Sewer c. Water d. Drainage e. Parks f. Public Buildings 2. To identify and evaluate the funding source which will be allocated to the payment of the planned capital improvements. 3. To provide a framework and tool for the preparation of annual updates or revisions that may be necessary so changes in the current or projected status of planned expenditures or funding sources can be evaluated. 4. To provide the. means to evaluate future operating costs of planned improvements as well as regularly monitor and evaluate the status of individual funds which contribute to financing the Capital Improvement Program. 5. To represent the various capital improvement needs and funding sources of the City of Plymouth in a single concise document for use by elected officials, appointed staff and commissions, and the citizens of Plymouth. For each year of the Capital Improvement Program a brief project description and corresponding estimated cost have been provided. Revenue sources are identified by expenditure to indicate the proposed method of financing. Cashflow evaluations have been completed for the Plymouth tax increment districts, the Infrastructure and PIR Funds, and the Park Dedication Funds to ensure that sufficient funds are available to finance the anticipated expenditures. The Summary of Project Costs and Funding Summary exhibit indicates that sufficient funds will be available to finance the 1992-96 Capital Improvement Program.

MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: December'23, 1991 TO: Lt. Dennis Paulson - Acting Chief of Police FROM: Nia Wronski - Youth Service Officer SUBJECT: YMCA DETACHED WORKER PROGRAM The Detached Workers goal is delinquency prevention. Their outreach program works with youth ages 12-18. They provide one- to-one counseling and recreational activities for youth who are at risk due to problems they are experiencing with school, family, peers or law enforcement. Currently the Northwest YMCA employs four detached workers. None are assigned to work specifically in Plymouth, but they do spend time at Armstrong High School, where they will reach out to youth at risk and also conduct support groups for students. I have also referred families -to the Northwest YMCA Detached Worker Program when parents come to me seeking support services and delinquency prevention type of activities for their kids. - I feel that it is a very valuable program which the City should continue to support. Further information about the program can be obtained by contacting Mike Melstad with the Northwest YMCA at 535-4800. 11M JAN 3 '92 December 17, 1991 TO: Comparable Worth Study Update Participants FROM: Steering Committee M-3 Please find enclosed your share for the study update by P.D.I. and Hay Associates.

' CIM jA% , 3'92 MAA MEMO CITY OF,, PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: December 30, 1991 TO: James G. Willis, ,pity Manager FROM: Fred G. Moore;tDirector of Public Works SUBJECT: NORTHWEST BOULEVARD/SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD DNR PERMIT CITY PROJECT NO. 011 Attached is a copy of the cover letter and the permit received from DNR for encroachment into public wetlands - for the Northwest Boulevard/ Schmidt Lake Road project. After reviewing the permit I do not believe it contains anything new that we have not previously discussed with DNR or have been made aware of in their draft decision. Since this project will be constructed in at least three phases, the DNR permit does not expire until November 30, 1996. After we received the decision from DNR on the alignment, Dan Faulkner and I met with the consulting engineer, Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc., to discuss the preparation of the final plans and specifications for the first phase of the project.' The first phase of the project will construct Northwest Boulevard from 45th Avenue northerly to Schmidt Lake Road; also Schmidt' Lake Road will be constructed from Northwest Boulevard easterly to Pineview Lane. This project'has previously been authorized by the City Council. At our meeting we established a schedule which will have the plans completed for the first phase of the project by April 15, 1992.

RE: PERMIT #91-6185, NORTHWEST BOULEVARD AND SCHMIDT'LAKE ROAD, WETLANDS 27-590W, 27-591W AND 27-593W (CURTIS LAKE), CITY OF PLYMOUTH, HENNEPIN COUNTY Dear Mr. Moore: Our review of your permit application and supporting materials indicates that the criteria of Minnesota Rules, part 6115.0190, subpart 3, item'F are met (relating to the lack of other feasible and practical alternatives with less environmental impacts and that the public need rules out the no -build alternative). Therefore, a waiver of the filling prohibition for a public roadway is granted and the permit for your project is enclosed. Permit #91-6185 authorizes placement of.fill for a public roadway in wetlands 27-59OW and 27-591W and construction of a bridge over wetland 27-590W. The mitigation which was agreed upon during the permit review process involves: the creation of approximately 3.1 acres of wetland in upland area adjacent to wetland 27-591W; creation/ improvement of wetland and upland habitat on an abandoned segment of West Medicine Lake Road adjacent to wetland 27-593W (Curtis Lake); and legal preservation of a portion of the wooded upland area east of 27-59OW and south of 27-589W. Because the proposal is still in preliminary design stage, the DNR permit does not specify details of the work authorized. Special provisions 19 to 21 of this permit require submittal of detailed construction and mitigation plans, in appropriate phases, for DNR approval. Special provision #22 requires appropriate as -built surveys and photographs of the completed mitigation and that portion of the road construction which affects DNR wetlands. The expiration date of the permit is November 30, 1996. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER CiM jAN 3'92 Mr. Fred G.

The bridge over the Soo Line railroad and wetland 27-59OW must be at least doubled in -length in order to minimize filling in the core portion of the wetland/upland complex; provide an adequate corridor for wildlife movement and; protect the continuity of the existing wetland/upland ecosystem. 2. The remainder of the route would remain in the same location. 3. The stormwater treatment ponds would remain the same as proposed in the city's original permit application. 4. Roadway width would be reduced to the maximum extent to minimize wetland encroachment. To accomplish this, the design and placement of the proposed trail sections and side slopes would be evaluated. MITIGATION FEATURES 1. The mitigation plan proposed -by the city in the original permit application would be left unchanged. - 2. The portion of existing West Medicine Lake Road immediately adjacent to Curtis Lake (27-593W) would be included in a mitigation plan designed by a qualified biologist considering the efficacy of additional upland vegetation, an improved hydraulic connection, slope modifications, etc. The emphasis is to improve the overall ecosystem diversity. 3. A portion of the wooded area to the east of wetland 27-59OW and south of wetland 27-589W would be preserved by appropriate legal methods (fee ownership, conservation easement, deed restriction, etc.) to provide continuity of the ecosystem. ciM ,LAK 3'92 =- y Permit #91-6185 Dated: ?3 - By: By: ATTACEMENT B SPECIAL PROVISIONS 14.

CIM jM 9 ATTACHMENT C z -y 6185 DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE A flotation silt curtain is a silt barrier for use within a lake or pond. The flotation silt curtain consists of a filter fabric curtain weighted at the bottom and attached to a flotation device at the top. This structure is used to isolate an active construction area within a lake or pond to prevent silt -laden water from migrating out of the construction zone. EFFECTIVENESS Flotation silt curtains are effective for limiting the migration of suspended sediment within a lake or pond. This practice will not reduce the amount of disturbance from work performed in water, but it will minimize the area that is affected. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS In some cases, it may not be practical or possible to avoid construction within a lake. A flotation silt curtain can be used to isolate the water quality effects from this type of work. The silt curtain should be located so that the amount of water included in the construction zone is minimized. DESIGN RECOmAVNDATIONS 1 The cuitain should be constructed of a nylon fabric with a minimum tensile strength of 300 pounds per inch of fabric. 2. The top of the curtain should have a flotation carrier consisting of a floating plastic tube (6 -inch minimum diameter) filled with marine quality polyethylene foam. The flotation carrier should also have a 5/16" diameter coated steel cable in it to carry loads imposed upon the curtain. 3 The bottom edge should be weighted by cable or chain with a minimum weight of 1.1 pounds per foot. One 24 -pound anchor should also be used per 100 feet of curtain. 4. Where the curtain is made up of sections, the sections should be joined so that silt cannot permeate through the connection. ,92 CIM JON _ 3 6.6-1 10/89 MAINTENANCE The silt curtain should be maintained until the construction area is stabilized and turbidity is reduced to acceptable levels.

You were requesting this information in order that you could report to your homeowner's association. When the developer did not perform the remaining work in Lake Camelot Estates Addition, the City drew on the letter of credit in the amount of $79,673. We established an escrow account to perform the work which had previously been outlined to the developer. During this past construction season all of the remaining work was completed. The following is a summary of expenditures which will be changed to the escrow account for work performed by other than City employees: Asphalt for street repair (Commercial Asphalt Co.) Consulting Engineering (Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Assoc., Inc.) Concrete Curb Raising (Concrete Raising, Inc.) Grading, Sodding, Seeding, Drainage West Area (Hildahl Const.)

Bergman December 27, 1991 Page Two These expenditures do not include any charges for time spent by City employees on the project. Also, as you are aware, the Street Division did the necessary street repair work and these costs do not include any City equipment rental charges. City employees involved on this project were in the Engineering Division and Street Division. We will not have a complete accounting of City employee time and cost until after the end of the year. The employee time is not automatically charged to a project such as this since it is budgeted within each division. Once we have recapped all of the City employee time and usage of City equipment in completing the repair work, I believe it will exceed the remaining $11,274 in the escrow account from the letter of credit. There will be no funds to return to the developer. If there are any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E. Director of Public Works FGM.Xmescc:G.

The report of your committee was presented to the City Council at its meeting of December 16, 1991. The City Council reviewed the committee findings and took official action accepting the report and directing execution of the recommendations found in the report. The City Council also recognized the efforts of the committee members and directed preparation of a letter to you committee members thanking you for your efforts on behalf of the City of Plymouth. This letter then is partly in response to the City Council's action and also to express to you my personal gratitude for your efforts and input regarding what became a very complex issue. I expect to prepare Zoning Ordinance amendment drafts responsive to your recommendations for presentation to the Planning Commission as a Public Hearing sometime in February. I will advise you of that hearing date. It has been customary in Plymouth to continue informing members of strategic committees appointed by the City Council of events related to their recommendations following completion of the committee activity. It is my intention to continue with this tradition and keep you advised of future activities regarding changes in the City Codes and Ordinances regarding the screening of trash and recycling containers. While you are not required to you are certainly most welcome to attend any future Public Hearings of the Planning Commission concerning this subject.

Pfyr?O'J;h Homeowners Association and communicate some observations affected Kingswood residents. First, the McCrossan employees'were extremely courteous in their contact with the residents and the officers of the Association. They kept us advised of the scheduled work and were very professional in their work. The SEH consultants were on the job daily. The project was handled with a minumum disruption, though the dust could have been reduced by more frequent sprinkling. Secondly, some very disturbing things turned up as the project progressed. As you are aware, this is a PUD, developed by the Centurion Company. Approved by the City of Plymouth and I must presume subject to regular inspections during.the installation of the storm sewers and the construction of the homes. The 3rd Avenue segment of the project was only to be a milling and overlay of the existing road, but it ended up being excavated - in order to correct a major flaw in the installation of the original storm sewer. Because of insufficiant stone under the line it had settled and cracked. The pipes were litterly laying on the clay subsoil. At the intersection of Holly Lane and Inland Lane Cul de Sac the storm sewer lines had been laid backwards and many segments were missing the seal rings, allowing the pipes to become filled with silt. Some years ago our association considered initiating a law suit against Centurion because of faulty roof shingle quality and slipshod, work. Centurion stonewalled us at every turn, and we finally abandoned, the idea after expending a considerable sum on legal fees. The shingle installation did not meet the City building code, the shingles were substandard. Our concern is that the City is now issuing building permits, which also entail the installation of streets and sewers, so we wonder whether our inspection system is geared to handle this greatly increased workload. Is the City able to monitor the builders adherence to rules -and regulations, that have been es- tablished to protect future homeowners? cc: Mayor Bergman �--- CIM ,I , Kingswood Board of Directors Y Mr. Robert Peterson, President KINGSWOOD HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION 226 Holly Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: 1991 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT CITY PROJECT NO. 102 Dear Mr. Peterson: Thank you for your observations on the 1991 Street Reconstruction Program. We have received many good comments about C.S.. McCrossan employees and the courteous approach that they took on this project. As you are aware through the discussions that we had at different phases of the project, we were trying to correct problems that have occurred over the years or which may not have been constructed to our current standards. We do feel that the City now has a much better inspection system for new construction, whether it be buildings or our infrastructure system. The City has also implemented a financial guarantee system to ensure projects are completed in total compliance with the City's standards. Once again, thank you for your comments concerning this project and the City's management. Sincerely, Daniel K. Campbell Seniore Engineering Technician DKC:do cc: Fred G.
