PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS These items were moved forward to accommodate the audience. a) Consider Comprehensive Plan and Ordinance Amendment - Silver Springs Zone Change Request Mayor Ristow stated there have been questions regarding a conflict of interest on his behalf. He has discussed the matter with the City Attorney and there is no conflict of interest and he is not in business with Mr. Giles. Mr. Tim Giles, developer of Silver Springs, is seeking to amend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone the subject outlots within the Silver Springs 2nd Addition from R-l (Low Density Residential) to B-4 (Neighborhood Commercial) and R-3 (High Density Residential). The property is located at the northeast intersection of Pilot Knob Road and 190th Street between English Avenue. Mr. Giles proposes a professional office building within the commercial area and a 3-unit townhome within the R-3. At the public hearing held during the Planning Commission meeting on December 14, 1999, neighborhood residents expressed several concerns: Increased traffic through the neighborhood, primarily along English Avenue Lack of traffic control, vehicle speeds Egress onto English Avenue, design of English Avenue Lack of sidewalks, pedestrian safety Diminished property values - Need for park space Does not conform to the current Comprehensive Plan Vacant commercial exists along Pilot Knob Road north of the proposed site Residents also were concerned about the rezoning violating covenants of Silver Springs in allowing a use other than single-family homes. The covenants are between the developer and the residents and the City cannot legally take these covenants into consideration. The Council was asked to state Findings of Fact either supporting or rejecting the application to amend the 2020 Comprehensive Plan and rezone the subject property. Mr. John Wagner, attorney for Mr. Giles and TC Construction, stated the developer originally proposed a B-1 zoning for a gas station/convenience store. This application was withdrawn based on the citizens' comments. The property was then left as parkland and single family use. The request has now been Council Minutes (Regular) February 7, 2000 Page 3 changed to rezone to B-4. If the Council approves the request, the developer has to apply for a building permit and this would again come to Council for approval. Citizens can then object to the footprint of the building. There are currently no contracts for this site. Councilmember Cordes asked if Council approves to rezone the property to B-4 and a proposed business comes in that meets the B-4 requirements Council cannot not approve it, correct? City Attorney Jamnik replied that is correct if it is a permitted use under B-4 zoning. Mr. Tom McLaughlin, 19070 Enchanted Court, stated when the City Planner gave the summary, it was stated this property originally was not a part of Silver Springs. At that time, was it known that it might be difficult to sell single family homes on this property? That seems to be the reasoning for the rezoning. Why request a rezoning when this was not an original part of Silver Springs? Mr. Wagner replied this property was purchased by TC Construction for future land development. Then the highway department changed the road. Mr. Giles stated the property was purchased in 1985, before the location of the road was planned. Ms. Robin Hanson, 18880 Elgin Avenue, represented the residents of Silver Springs. The residents want to keep the land zoned residential. A petition with 130 signatures was presented to Council opposing the rezoning. She gave a chronology of events regarding the rezoning of Silver Springs and reasons why the rezoning is in direct conflict with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The residents felt the current lots that are zoned B-4 would serve their needs. There is a single access from this property on English Avenue, which is a high traffic area. They also felt this property was not unique as the other three comers of the intersection are single-family homes. Mr. Bob Wilson, 5392 180th Street, asked if the zoning is approved, who pays for the upgrading of streets, sidewalks, and lights. The Mayor replied any improvements would be paid for by the developer. Staff stated as far as street lights, the County and the City would have to discuss that. There would be no additional assessments. Ms. Sheila Lund, 1004 Westview Drive, asked if there has been a study done on the safety issue as far as what the B-4 zoning would do to the traffic. Mayor Ristow replied that would be done when the type of business to be built on the property is established. Police Chief Siebenaler stated the police have been spending more time in that two-block area of English A venue than anywhere else and have not observed excessive speeds. A traffic study could not be done with any degree of accuracy without the type of business established. Mr. Dave Runge, 5403 188th Street, stated he understood the County has done a study for traffic lights at the intersection of 190th Street and Pilot Knob Road and found a traffic signal was not justified. Staff replied a study has not been done on 190th Street and English Avenue. Council Minutes (Regular) February 7, 2000 Page 4 Mr. Howard Hennen, 18854 Emblem Court, stated there is a safety concern in the neighborhood as there were three boys killed in the area and two young children hit on English Avenue. Police Chief Siebenaler stated there was one incident on English Avenue on October 15, 1999, and an agenda item was submitted to the Council on November 1, 1999. He has also reviewed the 911 tape and prepared a transcript of the tape. The report of the accident was reported as an incident, stating there is not an accident. A review indicated a child traveling west on 188th Street, turned south on English A venue. A vehicle traveling north on English Avenue, assuming the child would cross in front of the vehicle, slammed on the brakes causing skid marks in the middle of the street. The caller on the tape was not sure two vehicles collided, stating there was almost nearly an accident. Therefore, while brakes were used and skid marks were left, there was not an accident involving a child at that intersection on October 15, 1999. City Administrator Erar stated the City takes public safety very seriously and the Police Department makes every effort to ensure public safety is enforced. Squads have been stationed there at every request. Councilmember Cordes stated she makes her decisions in the best interest of Farmington. Anytime we can increase our business or commercial areas it is good for Farmington. She did not feel putting a commercial area here would make or break Farmington. She did not support the rezoning. Mayor Ristow stated the City spent a great deal of time laying out the future of Farmington in the Comprehensive Plan. There have been many meetings involving developers and stakeholders while developing the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a guide for Council to use. This property has been zoned R-l for 30 years and does not see any reason why it should change. Councilmember Soderberg stated in a B-4 zone, if a light manufacturing or assembly plant petitioned to build there, Council could not turn it down. He does not see where it would be beneficial in this area. Councilmember Strachan stated the Planning Commission did their job. He gave the residents a lot of credit for stating very rational and dispassionate arguments. For Findings of Fact he stated there would be a negative traffic impact, there is one access only off of English Avenue, there is a grade to the road which makes it somewhat special. Secondly, there are open commercial zones nearby and planned in Charleswood and to add additional commercial zones in the northern end of the City is specifically contradictory to Council's commitment not only to the Comprehensive Plan, but to keeping our downtown business district vibrant. Finally, Council also has to take into account the opinions of the neighborhood and clearly there is opposition. He feels it is a detriment to the neighborhood to change the zone. The Comprehensive Plan can be changed if there is a compelling reason and as Chairmain Rotty stated in the Planning Commission meeting, he does not see a compelling reason to change it and Councilmember Strachan agreed with that. MOTION by Strachan, second by Cordes, adopting these Findings of Fact rejecting the application for both the B-4 and R-3 rezones. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Council Minutes (Regular) February 7, 2000 Page 5 b) Consider Ordinance Amendment - Murphy Farm PUD Zone Change Request D R Horton and Arcon Development propose to develop approximately 210 acres east of Pilot Knob Road, south of the proposed Vermillion Grove subdivision, west of the Pine Knoll subdivision and north of Middle Creek and the Farmington Industrial Park. The developers propose R-3 zoning, single and multi-family housing within the development. The Schematic PUD plan establishes the underlying zoning and location for each of the different land uses within the development. Staff presented the Schematic PUD plan to Council. The Wilson property will stay as an R -1 at this time if they are not interested in negotiating with the developer. Regarding the McCarthy property, the City had nothing to do with anything between the two properties in the 1970's. It was an exchange between a seller and a buyer. The City has been made aware that legal documents indicate the property sits in a dedicated right-of-way, which was given to the City by the property owner. Mrs. Nancy Wilson, 5200 203rd Street, asked when that was done, if it was recorded with the County. Staff replied the attorneys would have been required to check with the County. Mr. McCarthy stated his title insurance is currently checking with the County. Mr. Larry Frank, Project Manager with Arcon Development, stated they have contacted the Wilson's over the last 2-3 months. A proposal has been sent to Mr. McCarthy. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes adopting ORDINANCE 000-448 approving the Murphy Farm Schematic PUD rezoning the property from R-l to R-3 PUD excluding the Wilson property and contingent on the resolution of the McCarthy easement encroachment issue. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. c) Consider Ordinance Amendment - Tamarack Ridge PUD Zone Change Request James Development Company proposes to develop approximately 58 acres east of Trunk Highway 3, south of County Road 66, west of the Prairie Waterway and Cambodia Avenue and north of208th and 209th Streets in eastern Farmington. The developers propose single and multi-family residential within the development and a commercial site along TH 3. The schematic PUD plan, which establishes the underlying zoning and location for each of the different land uses within the development, was presented to Council. MOTION by Strachan, second by Verch to adopt ORDINANCE 000-449 approving the Tamarack Ridge Schematic PUD rezoning the property from A-I to R-3 PUD. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. d) Ash Street Feasibility Report Update The fieldwork necessary to produce the feasibility report was completed in December of 1999. A draft report will be ready to be brought to Council at the first Council meeting in April. Council Minutes (Regular) February 7, 2000 Page 6 e) Consider Resolution - Dakota County Cities Legislative Position Paper The Dakota County/City Manager's Group has been working on the development of a legislative position paper for the 2000 Legislative Session. Issues include the repeal of state sales tax on government purchases, transportation funding, state aids, levy limits, state mandates and housing. MOTION by Cordes, second by Verch adopting RESOLUTION R08-00 supporting the Dakota County City and County Managers recommended legislative issues for the 2000 session. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. t) Consider Resolution -Retain Local Authority to Negotiate Award and Regulate Cable Television Franchises Adoption of this resolution was tabled due to new information. g) Approve Gambling Event Permit Fee Waiver - Dakota Valley Arts Council The Dakota Valley Arts Council is requesting a Gambling Event Permit for a raftle to be held at the Farmington Eagle's Club. The DV AC is requesting the fee be waived based on the state's policy to waive fees for any event less than $750. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes adopting RESOLUTION R09-00 granting a Gambling Event Permit to the Dakota Valley Arts Council at the Farmington Eagle's Club, 200 3rd Street. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Consider Adoption - Business Subsidy Policy The 1999 Minnesota Legislature enacted a new law which regulates business subsidies awarded after August 1, 1999. The law introduces new operating and reporting requirements for local units of government that provide business subsidies. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes to close the Public Hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Verch, second by Strachan adopting the Business Subsidy Policy as recommended by the HRA Board. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 9. AWARD OF CONTRACT 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a) Authorize RFP Audio Visual Services Staff is seeking authorization to solicit Requests for Proposal for audio/visual design services, equipment recommendation and installation of multi-media presentation and telecast system for the City Council Chambers. As a result of the Cable Franchise Agreement, the City has telecommunications funds that may be used for capital equipment acquisitions and physical enhancements to the Council Chambers for purposes relating to the public telecast of government programming. Mr. Mark Moore, the cable coordinator for Apple Valley, Farmington, and Rosemount gave a presentation on the audio/visual equipment and future plans. MOTION by Verch, second by Soderberg authorizing the transmittal of a Request for Proposal for the design review, acquisition of equipment and installation of an audio/visual system in Council Chambers, and further authorize the advertisement calling for competitive bids. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Council Minutes (Regular) February 7, 2000 Page 7 b) CSAH 31 Fence Project Update Staff contacted the owners of property abutting CSAH 31 and held a neighborhood meeting to ascertain the level of interest in a fence project. At this time, nine property owners have indicated interest in a fence project. The cost of the project would be totally assessed to the property owners. The cost to a property as part of a City project would be approximately $3,500. If the homeowner contracted the work privately, the cost would be $2,750. Based on the relatively few property owners interested in the project and the associated costs if the City were to administer the project, it could appear that it is more cost effective for the residents to contract individually for fencing along CSAH 31. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes to discontinue the CSAH 31 fence project. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. c) Akin Road Turnback - Schedule Council Workshop A Council Workshop was scheduled for February 15,2000 to discuss Akin Road tumback issues raised by Dakota County. 12.

Respectfully submitted, fJ~~ /Y7~ -'-:Cynthia Muller Executive Assistant City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us 7~ TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrato~ FROM: Paul Asher, Liquor Operations Manager SUBJECT: Capital Outlay Purchases - Liquor Operations DATE: February 22, 2000 INTRODUCTION The Liquor Operation's year 2000 Budget provides for the following improvements: 1. Remodeling of the Downtown Store's sales counter. 2. The purchase of2 hand held "inventory scanners", and 2 shelflabel printers. 3. The purchase of a second cash register computer and peripherals for the Downtown Store. DISCUSSION The hand held "inventory scanners", and the shelf label printers will enable us to perform more accurate and efficient product inventories. The remodeling of the sales counter, which is need of repair anyway, will give us more room for a second cash register. The addition of the second register is necessary to give better customer service. Because of the above reasons, staff will begin implementation of these improvements.

Siebenaler Chief of Police FROM: SUBJECT: Capital Outlay Purchase DATE: February 22, 2000 INTRODUCTION / DISCUSSION As part of the 2000 annual budget the police department was authorized several capital outlay purchases. Staff has obtained quotes on three of those items. Staff has contacted three separate Ford dealerships for quotes on a 2000 squad car. The lowest price quote was provided by Dokmo Ford of Northfield, MN. An order has been placed in order to meet the State Contract purchase deadline and ensure delivery of a squad car. The police department was authorized the purchase of a new radar unit through the budget process. A second unit was to be purchased using a $2,000 Safe and Sober Grant. Two radar units will be ordered at a total purchase price of $3,211. The total City contribution will be $1,211. In the past the police department has frequently conducted traffic surveys in neighborhoods in response to complaints about traffic speeds and volumes. These surveys are time consuming and therefore expensive to conduct. In addition the police department has borrowed a speed trailer from the Minnesota State Patrol for use in these neighborhoods as an educational and public relations tool. The 2000 budget included a squad mounted speed display board. Since budget approval staff has learned of new traffic analysis technology. A traffic analyzer device is available that looks like a traffic counter but contains a computer program to determine speed, volume, direction of travel and vehicle type. The unit runs off its own power supply for weeks at a time. The information is then downloaded into an office computer where the various information is retrieved. The traffic analyzer performs many more functions than the speed display board at a substantial cost savings. The device will pay for itself in personnel time saved. Staffis proposing the purchase of the traffic analyzer in lieu of the single function speed display board authorized in the 2000 budget. BUDGET IMPACT All three items described are within appropriated budget amounts. ACTION REOUESTED Information only. Respectfully submitted, Daniel M.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers City Administrat(}~~ j FROM: David L. Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: Findings of Fact - Denial of Silver Springs Zone Change Request DATE: February 22, 2000 INTRODUCTION The City Council voted to deny the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment and zone change for the proposed Silver Springs 3rd Subdivision which requested approval of a zone change from R-l to B-4 and R-3. DISCUSSION Attached please find proposed findings of fact supporting Council's decision denying the rezoning request at the February 7, 2000 Council Meeting. If the Council is comfortable that the attached document accurately reflects the Council's findings and decision, it should adopt them. If the Council determines that the proposed findings or decision should be modified or supplemented to more accurately reflect Council's action, it should remove the item from the Consent Agenda and act on it separately. ACTION REOUESTED Adopt proposed findings of fact and decision regarding the denial of the zone change request adjacent to Silver Springs subdivision. CITY OF FARMINGTON DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA IN RE: Application of Tim Giles FINDINGS OF FACT For Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a Zone Change Request from AND DECISION R-l (Low Density Residential) to B-4 (Neighborhood Business) and R-3 (High Density Residential) On February 7, 2000, the Farmington City Council met to consider the application of Tim Giles for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and zone change request from R-l to B-4 and R-3 for property located at the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and 190th Street adjacent to Silver Springs 2nd Addition. The Council's consideration of the request followed a public hearing held by the City Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change on a 2-1 vote. The City Council considered the recommendation provided by staff: the recommendation of the Planning Commission and evidence submitted by area residents. The applicant was present and the Council heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACf 1. There would be a negative impact if the requested zone change is approved. There is access only off of English Avenue and the grade to this road makes the situation somewhat unique. 2. There are open commercial zones nearby and planned in Charleswood and to add additional commercial zones in the northern end of the City is specifically contradictory to our commitment not only to the Comprehensive Plan, but the City's ongoing commitment to keeping the downtown business district vibrant. The Comprehensive Plan already identifies additional specific neighborhood commercial areas and amending the Plan to create additional neighborhood commercial area is not warranted. 3. The concerns of neighborhood regarding the detriment to the immediate neighborhood that would be caused by the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and zone change have to be taken into account. While the Comprehensive Plan can be amended, there should be a compelling reason to do so which does not exist in this situation. 61335 A motion was made to adopt these Findings of Fact and to deny the application to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Low Density Residential to Commercial and High Density Residential and the zone change from R-I (Low Density Residential) to R-3 (High Density Residential) and B-4 (Neighborhood Business).

CITY OF FARMINGTON BY: Its Mayor ArrEST: Its Administrator 61335 2 City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us l& TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrator~ FROM: Jerry Auge, P.E., Assistant City Engineer ~ SUBJECT: Private Development Street Cleaning Services DATE: February 22, 2000 INTRODUCTION Staff has solicited quotes for street cleaning services in the private developments for 2000. As per Council direction last year, the request for proposals for street cleaning services was advertised in the Farmington Independent for two weeks. In addition, proposal packets were sent to contractors that had submitted proposals for street cleaning services in the past. Three quotes were received for street cleaning services. DISCUSSION It is stipulated in all private development contracts that the Developer is responsible to keep the streets clear of soil and debris. It has proven to be very difficult to enforce this issue and the amount of soil and debris in the streets is at times significant. The City has the right under the Development Contract to perform work and bill the costs to the Developer when there is a default by the Developer and failing to keep the streets clean is a default of the Development Contract. The streets need to be kept clean for two main reasons. First, if the streets are not kept clean, soil and debris is washed into the storm sewer system and holding ponds during rainfall events. If the debris gets into a system downstream of the development, taxpayer dollars will need to be expended to clean the system and ponds. Secondly, staff has received numerous complaints from residents due to the problems of having to drive through streets that are full of mud. The procedure for street cleaning services will be the same as last year. The developments will be inspected on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 12:00 pm. Those streets that are not clean by 12:00 pm. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, will be cleaned on the following day (Wednesday and Friday), by the City's contractor. The cost for street cleaning services including an administrative fee will be billed back to the Developer. As in the past, it will be entirely up to the Developer as to whether or not the City assists him/her with street cleaning. If all of the streets within a development are clean at 12:00 pm. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the City's contractor will not be ordered to clean the streets in that development and the Developer will not be billed for street cleaning at that time. The only exception to this is if staff is made aware of a situation that needs to be addressed immediately and the Developer cannot respond as necessary. BUDGET IMPACT The low quote for street cleaning was received from Hoffbeck Trucking (see attached). The cost to the Developer (including an administrative fee) will be $70/hour for skid loader work and $64/hour for pickup broom work. There would be no budget impact to the City. ACTION REOUESTED Approve the attached contract for street cleaning services by Hoffbeck Trucking by motion. Respectfully submitted, Je uge, P.E.

DISCUSSION Under joint and several liability, cities, when named in a lawsuit, can be held liable for an entire damage award even if they are found not to be substantially at fault. Cities often are brought into lawsuits where it is likely the other defendants are uninsured or unable to pay. Cities often settle these cases because of the high cost of exposure and, at minimum, are almost always responsible to pay to defend themselves in Court. Current joint and several liability laws force City taxpayers to pay for other people's negligence. Also, the current structure of these laws contains multipliers that determine a city's financial obligation in these cases. The formula sets municipalities apart from other parties in a lawsuit when it comes to setting the city's liability. If a city is found 35% or less at fault, the city is liable for 2 times the percentage of the whole award for which it was found liable. A city that is found 36 % or more at fault may be required to pay the total amount of the award, regardless of the percentage at fault over the 36%. BUDGET IMPACT As a result of the current joint and several liability law, City taxpayers are at the risk of being unduly burdened to pay for injuries/expenses that other individuals caused, but are unable to pay for. ACTION REQUESTED Consider the attached resolution, which supports the reform of the current joint and several liability law by either abolishing it or significantly restricting its application to situations where cities are substantially at fault for the damages. ,dZ'7!iJ Robin Roland Finance Director RESOLUTION NO. R ..00 SUPPORTING CHANGES TO MINNESOTA'S JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY LAW Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Farmington, Minnesota, was held in the Civic Center of said City on the 22nd day of February, 2000 at 7:00 P.M.. Members Present: Members Absent: Member introduced and Member seconded the following: WHEREAS, Minnesota's joint and several liability law encourages lawsuits against cities because they are considered "deep pocker defendants; WHEREAS, cities are often included in lawsuits solely in the hope they will be found partially responsible, but be forced to pay more than the city's fair share of the damages; WHEREAS, cities must pass on the cost of defending and settling lawsuits to taxpayers; WHEREAS, 38 other states, including all Midwestern states, have either abolished joint and several liability or have a higher threshold of fault before a party can be required to pay all of the damages; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of the City of Farmington, That the City of Farmington supports reform of Minnesota's joint and several liability law.

A copy of the Budget to Actual comparison is attached to this memo. 1998 audited figures are included to give the City Council a basis for comparison. DISCUSSION In November of 1999, the City Council adopted a resolution revising the 1999 Budget to more accurately reflect the expected revenues and expenditures. These budget numbers are reflected in the attached comparison. Council should note that these numbers are preliminary and subject to independent audit. Revenues for 1999 exceeded budget by $93,234, due to sources which were not included in the revised budget of November. These sources included grant revenues, additional interest earnings and fine revenues. Expenditures for 1999 were under budget by $61,423 or 1.7%. Due to allocation of resources between activities within a department, certain activity expenditures might be over budget while others might be under budget. Ultimately, however, total expenditures must be within approved budgetary guidelines. Variances from the revised budget include: additional overtime and professional services in the Police Department due to a return to full staffing and the .Safe and Sober" grant, costs of professional services to supplement staffing in Community Development and significantly reduced costs in Public Works due to the mild winter. BUDGET IMPACT This preliminary review indicates an increase to the General Fund Balance of $391,910 as compared to a budgeted increase of $234,253. This increase will bring our Fund Balance to 26% of our Operating Expenditures for the coming year. This represents a significant increase from prior years and is consistent with Council guidelines of improving the level of General Fund reserves. ACTION REQUIRED For Council's information.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization Draft Joint Powers Agreement - Discussion DATE: February 22,2000 INTRODUCTION Attached herewith is a draft joint powers agreement for the Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization for review and discussion. DISCUSSION The Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for the Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization (VRWMO) was due to expire January 1,2000. As Council may recall, an amendment to the JPA was approved by the City Council at the November 1, 1999 meeting that would extend the existing JP A to August I, 2000. All of the member communities signed the amendment, thus the existing JP A was extended. At this time, a draft JPA has been sent to all the member communities of the VRWMO for review. A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 23 at 7:30 pm to discuss issues regarding the JPA. To date, there are two main issues that staff feels concern the City of Farmington in regards to the JP A. The two issues are: 1) funding of the capital improvements proposed in the draft watershed plan; and 2) representation of communities on the Board of Commissioners. Funding The draft watershed plan identifies a capital improvement program with a cost of approximately $393,000 that would fund regional improvements, which would benefit the entire watershed. A spreadsheet is included in the attached documentation that outlines various methods for cost sharing between the member communities (see attached spreadsheet). The various methodologies include basing the cost sharing on tax capacity of the community, area of the community, storm water flow from a community or a combination thereof. It is staff s opinion that the fairest way to share the costs is to base the cost sharing on a community's storm water flow into the watershed. With this method, the funding of the improvements is prorated to each community proportionate to the amount of storm water flow that each community contributes to the watershed. This methodology is sound and should be generally acceptable. As Council may recall, the City and Castle Rock Township discussed and agreed in principle to the same cost sharing arrangement in regards to the Ash Street/Prairie Waterway Phase III project. Of the three "flow based" methodologies, the flow calculated using curve numbers excluding landlocked basins is preferred. The accuracy of the allocated flows using the flow measurements to the Vermillion River could be questionable, and therefore would not be recommended. U sing the Soil Conservation Service curve numbers to calculate the flow would be consistent for each community and is a standard empirical method for calculating storm water runoff. In regards to excluding the landlocked basins, this method would essentially take into account those areas that are depressions that do not have an outlet, and therefore do not necessarily contribute to the flow in the Vermillion River. As a result, a community's flows would be reduced by not taking into account runoff that stays in a landlocked basin. In addition, in order to achieve an even higher degree of fairness, this method could also take into account a community's rate control efforts in regards to contributing flows and give credit to those communities that are reducing the overall peak flows to the Vermillion River. Board Representation Currently, the VRWMO Board is comprised of nine (9) members (see page 4 of the draft JPA). As a matter of information, Councilmember Cordes was appointed to the Board on Monday, February 14. The townships (of which there are 10) appoint three (3) members. The AA Cities (of which there are 5) appoint two (2) members and the AAA Cities (of which there are 6 and includes Farmington) appoint four (4) members. It has been indicated that some member communities are interested in seeing a Board comprised of one member from each community, which would mean that the Board would consist of twenty-one (21) members; ten (10) from the Townships, five (5) from the AA Cities and six (6) from the AAA Cities. It is staffs opinion that the current arrangement is in the best interest of the City and that the City should hold to this position. Future Considerations Ultimately, at some point before the current JP A expires, all member communities will need to decide whether or not to sign the new JP A. All communities need to sign if the VR WMO is to continue to exist. If a new JP A is not agreed upon and all communities do not sign it, then the VRWMO will cease to exist and it is most likely that Dakota County would take over. The Council, in the future, will need to determine whether it is in the City's best interests to sign the final version of the JP A. BUDGET IMPACT None at this time. ACTION REQUESTED For information and discussion. If the Council so desires, an official statement or position can be forwarded by staff to the VRWMO at the meeting on February 23, 2000.

Also enclosed is a spread sheet prepared by the WMO's consulting engineer, Montgomery Watson, which calculates the amount due by each community using a hypothetical annual budget of $393,250. The spread sheet calculations spreads the budget levy to member communities based upon three variables: (1) land area; (2) valuation; and (3) contributing storm water flow. Other variables and combinations of them are certainly possible. It is very important that every member community send a representative to the meeting so that we can begin preparation of the new Joint Powers Agreement. Your input is needed. A required public hearing on the Watershed Plan will also be held the same evening. Suite 317 · Eagandale Office Center · 1380 Corporate Center Curve.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Consider Resolution - 2000 Seal Coat Project Feasibility Report DATE: February 22, 2000 INTRODUCTION Attached is the Feasibility Report for the 2000 Seal Coat Project. The project consists of seal coating specified residential streets and a downtown alley. DISCUSSION The 2000 Seal Coat project is the seventh project in the City's seal coat program established by the City of Farmington in 1994. The seal coat program is implemented in a seven-year cycle. The streets indicated in Figure I and Attachment A are to be included in the seal coat program this year. The streets in Nelsen Hills 4th and 5th Additions, Troyhills 1st through 4th Additions, Industrial Park 1st and 2nd Additions, East Farmington 1 st and 2nd Additions, Prairie Creek 4th Addition, and Elm Street east of Highway 3 are due to be seal coated for the first time. Several downtown streets have not been seal coated in over seven years and are proposed to be included in the project this year. The downtown areas include: Linden Street, Willow Street, Pine Street between Third Street and Highway 3, Third Street between Elm Street and Pine Street, Fourth Street between Elm Street and Willow Street, Fifth Street between Pine Street and Linden Street, Seventh Street between Pine Street and Linden Street, Honeysuckle Lane, Second Street between Ash Street and Maple Street, and Hickory Street between Second Street and Third Street. The alley behind St. Michael's between Fourth Street and Fifth Street is also part of this year's project. BUDGET IMPACT The 2000 Seal Coat Project is included in the 2000 Capital Improvement Plan. Several streets in the project area have already been assessed seal coating costs through their respective development contracts. The property owners benefiting from the improvements to the remaining streets would be assessed for the project costs pursuant to Minnesota Statute 429 and the City's Special Assessment Policy. The remainder of the costs would be funded through the Road and Bridge Fund. The total estimated project cost for the 2000 Seal Coat project is $131,600. The estimated assessment based on the estimated project costs and the City's special assessment policy is $60.42 per residential equivalent unit. The City's special assessment policy indicates a 50/50 cost sharing split between the City and the benefiting properties for seal coat improvements.

See Figure 1 for the areas to be seal coated in 2000 and Attachment A for a list of the individual streets to be included in this area. The annual seal coating program, approved by Council in 1994, is implemented in a seven year cycle in which assigned areas are seal coated each year (See Figure 2). The City requires new streets to be seal coated approximately three years after the final bituminous wear surface has been placed on the street. After the first seal coat application, it is intended that streets would be seal coated every seven years. New streets within developments will continue to be incorporated into the plan as they are added to the City's street system. The purpose of seal coating is to improve the quality and extend the life of the City streets. Seal coating delays the need for costly street reconstruction or other corrective work for which a portion of the costs are assessed to the adjacent property owners. The streets indicated in Figure 1 and Attachment A are to be included in the seal coat program this year. The streets in Nelsen Hills 4th and 5th Additions, Troyhills 1st through 4th Additions, Industrial Park 1st and 2nd Additions, East Farmington 1st and 2nd Additions, Prairie Creek 4th Addition, and Elm Street east of Highway 3 are due to be seal coated for the first time. Several downtown streets have not been seal coated in over seven years and are proposed to be included in the project this year. The downtown areas include: Linden Street, Willow Street, Pine Street between Third Street and Highway 3, Third Street between Elm Street and Pine Street, Fourth Street between Elm Street and Willow Street, Fifth Street between Pine Street and Linden Street, Seventh Street between Pine Street and Linden Street, Honeysuckle Lane, Second Street between Ash Street and Maple Street, and Hickory Street between Second Street and Third Street. The alley behind St. Michael's between Fourth Street and Fifth Street is also part of this years project. It will be specified that the 2000 seal coat project start after Mountain Dew Days (June 23 - 25) and be completed before the Dakota County Fair (August 7 -13). 3 Discussion A fine seal coat aggregate (F A-2 Modified Aggregate) is used in the cul-de-sacs areas of the project. Larger aggregate (FA-2 Aggregate) is used on all remaining areas. Staff initiated the use of finer aggregate in the cul-de-sacs in 1997. Finer aggregate tends to bind together better than larger aggregate and thus helps prevent the seal coat aggregate from separating in areas where there is a higher percentage of vehicles that turn in a circular motion, as in cul-de-sacs. The finer aggregate used in the cul-de-sacs can cost twice as much as the larger aggregate, however, the finer aggregate is only used in the cul-de-sacs and the additional cost to the overall project is not substantial. It is recommended that used seal coat aggregate be utilized for construction fill. Last year all used seal coat aggregate was used as construction fill. 4 Cost Estimates Cost estimates have been prepared for the improvements described in this report. The estimates for the work are based on anticipated unit prices for the 2000 construction season. The cost estimates presented below include a ten-percent contingency and twenty-seven percent allowance for engineering, legal and administrative costs. Estimated Project Costs ~m U~ Est. Qty Est. Unit Price Total Bituminous material Gal 49400 1.20 $ 59,280 F A-2 Aggregate in place Ton 2420 13.50 $ 32,670 F A-2 Modified Aggregate in place Ton 50 45.00 $ 2.250 Estimated Construction Cost $ 94,200 10% Contingencies $ 9.420 Total Estimated Construction Cost $103,620 27% Engineering, Legal, Administration $ 27.978 Total Estimated Project Cost $131,600 5 Project Financing At the start up of the seal coating program, the City proposed a 50/50 cost split between the benefiting properties and the City for the cost of seal coating improvements. The City's Assessment Policy states that Seal Coating shall be assessed at a 50% rate. Based on the project costs identified in this report, the estimated assessment rates for the project, calculated with a 50/50 split, would be $60.42 per unit. The assessment rate in 1999 was $55.55 per unit. Nine of the developments that are to be seal coated this year have already been assessed through their respective development agreements. These include Nelsen Hills 4th and 5th, TroyHills 1st through 4th, East Farmington 1 st and 2nd, and Prairie Creek 4th Addition. The industrial park and downtown areas will be assessed to their portion of the costs. The cost for the alley between Fourth and Fifth Street and Spruce and Walnut Street would be funded through the Road and Bridge Fund. Public Streets Assessment based on a rate of $60.42/unit Road and Bridge Fund contribution $65,550 $65,550 Alley Road and Bridge Fund Contribution $ 500 $131,600 Total Estimated Project Cost 6 Conclusions And Recommendations The proposed improvements described in this report are feasible from an engineering standpoint and are in accordance with the City's Seal Coating Program. The project is necessary to continue the City's program for street maintenance. The feasibility of the project as a whole is subject to the financial review. The improvements proposed are cost effective based on proven methods for seal coat improvements. Based on the information contained in this report, it is recommended that: 1. The City of Farmington accept this report as a guide for the seal coating improvements in the project area and authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for the project; 2.
