Plymouth Forum Joe Egan, 5435 Ximines Lane, stated he previously addressed the Council regarding concerns with geese in his neighborhood. It was suggested he speak with his neighbor about feeding them. He did so and was accused of invading his privacy. He expressed concern with the public health concerns regarding the ongoing problem of geese overpopulating his neighborhood. The action of feeding geese is a public nuisance and should be addressed in the City Code. The Council requested staff look at the public nuisance ordinance and if this issue has been addressed by surrounding communities. The Council also referred this item to the Environmental Quality Committee for their review.

Public Hearings There were no public hearings. General Business (8.01) Contract for School Resource Officer Services with Wayzata School District No. 284 Public Safety Director Goldstein reported these services have been provided to the Wayzata School District since 1993 and the Wayzata School District is requesting this become a formal contract. There are currently two officers at the high school and one officer for both middles schools. Due to concerns related to school safety, they are also requesting an additional officer be hired so there can be a full-time officer at each middle school. The City will be required to provide 25 percent of the officer's wages and benefits. Adopted Minutes Page 3 of 6 Regular Meeting of March 13, 2018 Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt Resolution Authorizing a contract agreement for School Resource Officer Service with School District No. 284 (Res2018-113). In response to questions from the Council, Public Safety Director Goldstein provided the following information: • The same action will be taken with Wayzata Police and Wayzata West Middle School. • Throughout Hennepin County, all law enforcement, fire, and EMS operate from one platform as it relates to any mass casualty event. • There are two officers at Armstrong High School and one officer at Plymouth Middle School. • When officers are finished with their school duties in the summer, they return back to their patrol duties until the school year starts again. • This is a partnership with the school district, and it needs to be directed by them. There are school safety levies that school districts can use to fund these types of initiatives. With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. (6.09) Final Plat, Development Contract, and Assessments for Phase I of "Greenway West" (Pulte Homes of Minnesota — 2017083F) The Council suspended the rules and took testimony regarding item No. 6.09. Kyle Foster, 18225 58th Avenue, expressed three concerns related to this item: 1) There is plenty of unsold housing inventory in the area; 2) Meadow Ridge School is already at capacity and still under construction to meet current demand; and, 3) The Troy Lane reconstruction project is slated for 2018 and is the only access to Greenway West. These new homes will begin to go up at the same time. He requested the Council consider the following: 1) Include features such as upgraded siding, concrete driveways, and decks; 2) This is the City's one chance to make an impact on the kind of quality that will be here long term; and, 3) Consistency in development with neighboring properties that include the highest and best use of the land. Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Wosje, to reconsider item No. 6.09 Final Plat, Development Contract, and Assessments for Phase I of "Greenway West" (Pulte Homes of Minnesota — 2017083F). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. The Council explained they can't deny development because there are unsold properties in the area. The Wayzata School District plans for the growth and has plans to build another school. City Attorney Knutson stated the request for this item pertains to the final plat, development contract, and assessments. The Planning Commission and staff have found that the applicant meets the standards of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the Council doesn't have much discretion. The Council has already approved the preliminary plat and must determine if the applicant has met the requirements for final plat approval. Adopted Minutes Page 4 of 6 Regular Meeting of March 13, 2018 Motion was made by Councilmember Wosje, seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt a Resolution Approving Final Plat and Development Contract for "Greenway West" for Property located West of Troy Lane at 58t Avenue (2017083-F — Res2018-104) and a Resolution Adopting Assessments for Water and Sanitary Sewer for Greenway West (2017083-F — Res2018-105). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. (8.02) Ordering and Accepting Preliminary Engineering Report and Plans and Specifications, Ordering Advertisement for Bids, Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Calling for Public Improvement and Assessment Hearings for the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction Project (ST189001.001) (Previously item No. 6.16) Design Supervisor Payne reported this project includes the streets in and around Kilmer Park. Most of these streets are rural, without curb and gutter, and in poor condition. The area is drained by ditches with metal culverts, which are also in poor condition. Total reconstruction is recommended along with a storm sewer system. In response to questions from the Council, Design Supervisor Payne provided the following information: Pilgrim Lane has curb and gutter on the west side for the northern half. He provided a photo that illustrated this and noted there may be curb and gutter around the radius. The existing curb will be removed and replaced. Mn/DOT installed a line to help control flow from Highway 169. It runs down 24th Avenue and 25th Avenue and into water quality ponds by Medicine Lake, and then out into Medicine Lake. This will drain into that water quality pond. The rest of the water eventually flows between two homes on 27th Avenue, down to a storm sewer of 26th Avenue and out to Medicine Lake. It does not hit the water quality ponds before going into Medicine Lake. They had two soil borings on Pilgrim Lane. One indicated six inches of asphalt over four inches of aggregate base over clay and the other showed six inches of asphalt on top of clay. The ditch will be armored in the small section where the creek flows between the two homes. This will be accomplished by filling it with riprap, cable concrete, or some other material and will stabilize the creek adjacent to the two homes. There are numerous ways to pay for the proposed assessment. It can be paid for in full by the end of October 2018 with no interest, by the end of October 2019 with one year's interest, or with a resident's property taxes over a 10 -year period. There is also a senior citizen deferral option. The Council stated it understands the concerns related to assessment costs, but this is one of the worst roads in Plymouth and it is hard to justify patching it. There is flooding in the area and the culvert needs to be repaired. Even though they can't capture all the water, there will be some improvement by having some of it drain through the water quality pond into Medicine Lake. This proposed reconstruction has probably never been done properly in this area and it is needed to maintain infrastructure. In time, residents will notice an increase in their property values. It Adopted Minutes Page 5 of 6 Regular Meeting of March 13, 2018 was noted that a flyer was distributed by someone in the neighborhood that contained things that were not true. Staff responded by providing a question and answer document to residents that contained the actual facts. Public Works Director Thompson added all the documents have been updated and are available on the City's website. Motion was made by Councilmember Prom, and seconded by Councilmember Davis, to adopt Resolution Ordering Preliminary Engineering Report for the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction Project (ST189001.001 — Res2018-114), Resolution Receiving Preliminary Engineering eering Report Ordering Preparation of Plans and Specifications, and Calling for a Public Hearin for or the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction Project (ST189001.001 — Res2018-115), Resolution Approving Plans and Specification, and Ordering Advertisement for Bids for the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction Project (City Project No. ST189001.001 - Res2018-116), Resolution Declaring Cost of be Assessed, and Ordering Preparation of Proposed Assessment for the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction Project City Project No. ST189001.001 - Res2018-117), and a Resolution Calling for Hearin on n Proposed Assessment for the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction Project (City Project No. ST189001.001 - Res2018-118).
