ACTION REQUESTED
Again, it should be emphasized that the CIP is a strategic planning document. As such, this
planning document should be viewed as a general capital improvement guide which is subject to
change as circumstances warrant.
As discussed during the Council workshop, the CIP Project Development and Process
Authorization Schedule will determine the final project completion outcome. All projects
approved, depending upon current project development status, will be reviewed according to this
project schedule. Accordingly, should Council decide for any particular reason that a certain
project not be completed due to funding considerations, this project may be deferred to another
. year, or eliminated as Council may so direct.
Approval of Public Works projects as specified in the 1997-2001 Capital Improvement Plan is
requested.
Adoption of the attached Resolution supporting the exemption of County and City road ways
from state noise standards was requested by County Engineer Dave Everds to facilitate the
progress of the CSAH 31 project, and to promote the City's support of exempting local roads
from the construction of noise mitigation barriers.

RESOLUTION NO.
SUPPORTING EXEMPTIONS OF COUNTY AND CITY ROADWAYS FROM STATE NOISE STANDARDS
Whereas, new and reconstructed County and City road ways provide communities with essential transportation
corridors to facilitate economic development, meet expanding volumes of traffic generated by increased residential
and commercial growth and help to reduce the traffic burdens on major state and interstate highways, freeways and
expressways; and
Whereas, the majority of County highways and high volume City roads in urbanized areas of the metropolitan region
already exceed state noise standards, and do so only during specific times of the day; and
Whereas, it is sometimes not feasible to construct noise mitigation barriers on County and City road ways due to a
variety of planning, land use and zoning considerations;
Whereas, the cost of constructing noise mitigation barriers has been estimated by the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, where it is feasible to do so, at approximately $1 million per mile for each side of the affected
roadway; and
Whereas, the cost of constructing noise mitigation barriers on County and City roads may render a transportation
improvement project infeasible due to high construction costs, and planning, land use and zoning considerations; and
Whereas, the Dakota County of League of Governments has formally adopted the position of supporting the
exemption of all County and City road ways from state noise standards; and
Whereas, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners supports the exemption of County roads from noise mitigatiOl
standards due to the extremely high cost of constructing such barriers and the diminishing noise benefits these barriers
would provide; and
Whereas, Dakota County Cities bare the total cost of constructing noise mitigation barriers within their specific
jurisdiction which if required would prevent the construction or reconstruction of roadways within their respective
communities; and
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Farmington City Council hereby supports the exemption of all County and
City transportation improvement projects from state noise standards due to the excessive cost of constructing noise
mitigation barriers and the diminished value these barriers would provide to city residents; and
Be It Further Resolved, that the City Council of Farmington hereby authorizes the appropriate staff to work with
Dakota County staff to bring about the necessary legislative relief from these onerous statutory provisions.

At the February 3, 1997 Council meeting you requested that staff
respond to a letter from Elizabeth Wessing regarding speed limits
on County Road 31.
Attached you will find a copy of my letter responding to her
concerns.

Elizabeth Wessing
20228 Akin Road
Farmington MN 55024
Dear Ms. Wessing,
I received a copy of your letter dated January 25, 1997. First I'd
like to express my sympathy for the loss of your pet. I also have
a dog as a family member so I can put myself in your position.
As Police Chief, one of my primary concerns is public safety. The
issue of the speed limit on Akin Road is not new to the City. It
has been discussed at length by City staff and City Council. Akin
Road is actually County Road 31. As a County Road, it is under the
jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department. The City of
Farmington has no authority to reduce speed limits.
The City has filed a number of requests with the Dakota County
Highway Department and the Dakota County Board of Commissioners to
reduce speed limits on County Road 31. These requests have been
made regularly for over five years.
In December, the City of Farmington was notified that Dakota County
has requested the Minnesota Department of Transportation to conduct
a traffic study on County Road 31 for purposes of modifying speed
limits. This is not a quarantee that the speed limit will be
reduced but it is a positive step.
The City Council and staff support tighter restrictions and are
waiting for study results.
In the meantime, if you would like more information regarding
traffic issues, I would be happy to meet with you. Call me at 463-
3333.
Respectfully,
-y~/~

Dear Sir or Madam: Jan. 25. 1997
One of our dogs was hit and killed on Fri. Jan. 24th on Akin road. Purely an accident that he
wasn't restrained. I think this tragedy could of been prevented if the speed limit was lowered. Why is the
speed limil50 m.p.h. instead of 30 or 25 m.p.h. like in other residential areas? Instead of my dog, it
could of been one of the neighbors little children. I have seen other animals that have been killed on this
rOOld. either pets or strays. They have feelings too. They haven't done an~1hing to deserve to die. Pets
play big pans in families. They mean as much to some families as their relatives do. That is why I. am
writing you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth. Wessi..llg.

particularly on the adjacent Devney farmland. He informed Council that the
developer had resolved many of the erosion control issues with the Soil and Water
Conservation District and requested a 30 day waiting period before signing the

APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
9. Prairie Creek POD Amendment - Stegmaier Homestead
Progress Land Company, Inc., developer of prairie Creek PUD, requested an
amendment to the PUD in order to change the land use of the "Stegmaier Homestead"
(Lot 1, Block 2, prairie Creek 2nd Addition) from Residential PUD to Limited
Business. The exterior of the existing structure would be refurbished and a
front porch added. The interior would be remodeled into professional office
space. The Developer wished to preserve the homestead, however, because of the
cost to renovate and its location on pilot Knob Road, its use as a residential
dwelling was not feasible. It would, however, provide a good buffer between
Pilot Knob Road and the residential neighborhood to the east. Planning Intern
Schultz displayed drawings of the revamped building and provided feedback
received at the hearing held by the Planning Commission on January 14th.
Concerns were raised regarding what would occur if the land use were changed to
business use and the building was later destroyed and/or replaced. What would
prevent a business which was not compatible with the residential neighborhood
from being built on the site? Questions and concern about allowing PUDs to be
amended and consistency with granting such requests were also raised.
Councilmember Strachan stated that the Stegmaier Homestead was an historically
significant structure and should be saved. Planning Commission Chair Schlawin
noted that it was always the intent of both the developer and the Planning
Commission that the structure be saved and that allowing the change in land use
was the most viable way of doing so. City Attorney Grannis stated that the
amendment could be granted subject to the execution and recording of an agreement
which guaranteed that the use and footprint of the building would remain as
approved. He also noted that PUDs were designed to allow this type of
flexibility. MOTION by Strachan, second by Gamer to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 097-387
amending the Prairie Creek PUD by changing the land use of the Stegmaier
Homestead from residential to professional office use subject to the submittal of
a staff approved landscaping plan and the execution of an agreement guaranteeing
the continuation of professional office use and retention of the buildings
footprint as shown on the approved original PUD. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
10. Snowmobile Ordinance
Parks and Recreation Director Bell briefly reviewed the materials contained in
the Council's agenda packet for this item. Comments from Council, audience
members and staff covered a variety of topics including the use of County right
of way to travel within the City (allowed unless specifically restricted by
City), snowmobiles driving against oncoming traffic at night (illegal practice),
enforcement issues (residents should record license numbers and report illegal
activities to Police, and not confront or chase down snowmobiles themselves),
installation of markers or barricades by residents in rights of way to prevent
snowmobile use (illegal, residents could be liable for injury or damage). MOTION
by Gamer, second by Cordes to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 097-388 deleting the existing
snowmobile ordinance in its entirety and substituting the proposed new language
in its place. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Ristow complimented Police Chief
Siebenaler and Parks and Recreation Director Bell for their work on formulating
the new ordinance, map and informational items to be provided to the public.
Marvin Wier informed Council that the snowmobile club was working on a trail on
the west side of County Road 31 behind existing housing in an effort to alleviate
problems on County 31.
11. Fuel Purchasing Plan
Police Chief Siebenaler explained the plan which is designed to create a more
efficient and cost saving method of purchasing fuel for City vehicles. The
proposal would provide a breakdown of fuel purchases by cost centers which would
eliminate time consuming paperwork for the Finance Department. In addition, it
could promote discounts on fuel purchases by participating vendors. A letter of
agreement will be sent to vendors which will specify requirements for their
participation in the program. It was the consensus of Council that staff proceed
with the plan and draft the letter of agreement.
12. Roundtable
Member Strachan - Asked if the Police Chief had investigated the County's Family
Group Conferencing program. The Police Chief stated he had
been reviewing it.
Member Cordes - Informed Council she had attended the LMC conference for newly
elected officials and found it very beneficial.
Mayor Ristow - Had received a letter requesting a speed reduction on County
Road 31 which he forwarded to the Police Chief for response.
. Requested staff to investigate dates for holding joint meetings with the
School Board and with the City of Lakevil1e as had been held in past years.
Administrator Erar - Reminded Council of the Chamber/Council business meeting
scheduled for February 18th at 6:30 P.M..
. Informed Council that he and Police Chief Siebenaler had met with legislative
representatives regarding the noise mitigation issue. He will keep Council
updated on the progress of the issue.
. Informed Council that the Lakevi11e School District may be interested in the
video equipment which the City had hoped to obtain from the City of Lakevi11e
for recording Council meetings.
13. Councilmembers agreed to take a 5 minute recess at 8:37 P.M. before
adjourning into Executive Session.

Amend Zoning Ordinance
Related to Off Street Parking
DATE:
February 18, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The amendment to the off street parking allows wider accesses along collector and local
streets to serve truck off street loading areas in industrial districts. The access will be 32
feet at the street right-of-way along collector streets and 60 feet at the street right-of-way
along local streets.
DISCUSSION
This issue came to the attention of staff after variances were granted for wider accesses
because of damages to curbs and grass areas by semi-trucks in industrial areas. The
amendment will ease the turning radius needed for trucks that enter and exit along these
streets.
ACTION REQUIRED
Approve the proposed ordinance amendment allowing wider accesses along collector and
local streets to serve truck off street loading areas in industrial districts.

Mr. John Erar, Farminqton City Administrator
325 Oak Street
Farmington, MN 55024
Dear John,
As per our conversation of January 16, I am submittinq a
request on behalf of Greq and myself that the city take parcel
number 14 03200 042 35 out of the East Farminqton Tax Increment
Financing District that it is currently included in.
The property is neither part of the Prairie Waterway nor part
of the East Farmington Planned Unit Develo~ment and so it should
not be considered part of the TIF district.
As I mentioned in our conversation, I had contacted the county
regarding the situation and they informed me that the city would
ne~d to request that change.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
~a~,-~~

Re: Adelmann/Tax Increment Financing District
~
Dear Karen:
In regard to the above matter, I am enclosing a letter I received
from Sienna Corporation dated February 3, 1997 stating that Sienna
Corporation has no objection to removing the Adelmann Parcel from
the Tax Increment Financing District. I have also talked with Tom
Truszinski and he said that it was not a problem to take this
parcel out of the TIF District. Mr. Truszinski indicated that he
did not think removing the parcel from the TIF District would make
a difference in the Adelmanns' taxes because, in his opinion, the
difference in taxes is because of the tax rate for the City versus
the tax rate for the Township.
In any event, to comply with the Adelmanns' request, please place
the resolution prepared by John Kirby on the consent agenda for the
next regular council meeting.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Very truly yours,
GRANNIS & GRANNIS, P.A.

Annually, two terms of the Board of Commissioners of the Vermillion River Watershed
Management Organization (VRWMO) need to be reappointed.
DISCUSSION
Two seats on the VRWMO Board have expired as of 12/31/96. Reappointments to these seats
are made by a committee made up of delegates of the member cities. This delegate will do
nothing more than provide input on the appointment of the two new members.

It is recommended that Glen Cook be appointed as the delegate from the City of Farmington.
Mr. Cook's involvement with the Prairie Waterway and his expertise in this area will be very
helpful in the appointment process of the two new Board Members. Mr. Keith Nelson, Lakeville
City Engineer and Mr. Mike Wozniak the CDD for Hastings have requested to be appointed.

FROM: Lee Mann, Interim Assistant City
Engineer
SUBJECT: Empire Township Water Reservoir
DATE: February 18, 1997
INTRODUCTION
Staff has learned that Empire Township is in the planning stages for the construction of a water
reserVOIr.
DISCUSSION
At the time Farmington was studying site options for the proposed water reservoir, a proposal was
made to Empire Township to locate Farmington's reservoir in Empire Township and interconnect
Farmington's and Empire Township's water systems. The township declined the proposal at that
time (see attached correspondence). Staff has now learned that Empire Township is planning to
construct a water reservoir to provide storage for their system. According to information received,
the cost of this reservoir would be approximately $400,000. The interconnection proposed
previously was estimated to cost approximately $170,000.
It appears that there could be a mutual benefit to both Empire Township and Farmington if the two
water systems were interconnected. With the construction of Farmington's new reservoir, there
may be enough capacity in Farmington's system to provide the storage Empire Township would
achieve with their planned reservoir, if the two systems were interconnected. A system study
would be needed to verify that Farmington's system would provide Empire Township with their
needs. Farmington would benefit from the extra pumping capacity provided by Empire's two wells
and trunk water main would become available for the Sprute/Severson property at the southeast
corner of TH 3 and County Road 66. Both systems would benefit from having the other system as
a back-up in emergency situations. In fact, even if Empire Township builds their reservoir, the
interconnection is still mutually beneficial to Empire Township and Farmington.

RECOMMENDATION
1. That Council decide whether or not to re-propose the interconnection between Empire
Township's water system and Farmington's water system to Empire Township.
2. Refer this item to the Joint Planning Board.
Respectfully Submitted,

~ .: OUr ~eiiminary Review has identified a number ~f areas that would be ~table for the ~ew Rese~ciir.
:. Attached you will fmd a copy of a preliminary map indicatiIlg potential Reservoir sites. Notetbat there.'
" : is an area along T.H. 3 in Empire Township that wocld be suitable. Preliminary information'indicates . .
.' . that the City will be considering a 1,500,000 gallon Reservoir 'ilrith a height of 100 to 150 feet., ., .
In order for the ReserVoir to be sited in Empire Tov.1lShip. it would be necess'arY to instait"an'
interconnection beaten the two water systems along T.H. 3. Toe City and Township had some discussion
about this interconnect in the late 1980's,b':lt nothing developed. I believe a ~ost estimate' ranged from.
Sloo,ooo to S150,OOO for this interconnection. 1 have eoclosed a copy of the City CoDipreherisive Wat~r.

Mr Thomas J Kaldunski
Director of Public Works
City of Farmington

Farmington MN 55024 '
Dear Mr Kaldunski:
The Empire Township Board had reviewed the information sent by
you relating to the potential location of a water reservoir in
Empire Township. After much discussion, the Board is not interested
in having ,a city reservoir located in ~~pire To~~ship. The
potential site chosen by the city is very far from Empire's
nearest sewered area, and even farther from the site where all
of Empire's sewer permits and thus future growth have been al-
located for'thenext five years.
Given the slow pace of development in the Township and the re-
latively small land area to which this growth is t~ be contained
under the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plans, the'Town
Board feels that the potential reservoir site in Empire Township
will remain zoned agricultural for the foreseeable future.
Placing a water reservoir on that location within the next few
years may. increase the 'pressur'e for development, of that area,
which in turn would jeopardize nearly twenty years of Township
planning and would put unnecessary development pressure on '
agricultural lands.
In light of the pace of growth within the city, and in light of
the fact that growth pressures ate coming from the Northwest and
not from the East, the city may want to consider placing the new
reseryoir on high ground in sections 14 or 24, where it can better
serve the future growth of the city.
The Empire To~mship Board appreciates the fact that the city has
consulted the TO~lShip on this issue, and hopes that consultations
such as these will continue in the future.
Sincerely,
~#JJ

SUBJECT:
Cable TV Cooperative City Effort
Memorandum of Understanding
DATE:
February 18, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington has been working with the cities of Apple Valley, Lakeville and Rosemount in a
joint effort to develop cooperative arrangements on a wide range of telecommunication issues. In
particular, the development of a cable television franchise agreement, a model telecommunications
ordinance and a preliminary agreement to retain the services of a single representative in upcoming cable
franchise renewal negotiations.
DISCUSSION
This culmination of efforts to-date has resulted in a joint agreement by the cities of Apple Valley,
Rosemount and Farmington to 1) share costs associated with negotiating a new franchise agreement, 2)
work together in the renewal negotiation process, and 3) establish a framework by which communities
would be jointly represented by the law firm of Bernick and Lifson in the cable franchise renewal
process. The attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) formalizes this initial relationship with the
cities of Rosemount and Apple Valley. The MOU is a significant event in this cooperative effort between
cities, and will yield significant short-term and long-term technological benefits to the City.
BUDGET IMP ACT
As indicated in previous memorandum, costs associated with these efforts will be greatly reduced due to
the participation of these other communities. The 1997 Budget provided funding up to $5,000 for the
costs of negotiating a new franchise agreement.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding formalizing the cooperative relationship with the
cities of Apple Valley and Rosemount and appointing the administrator as the City's representative in
this joint City process. Both cities have indicated they will be presenting this MOU to each of their
respective Councils for adoption.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMO TO: Mayor, Councilmembers and
City Administrato~
FROM: Daniel Siebenaler, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Outdoor Emergency Warning Siren
DATE: February 18, 1997
The 1997 budget provides for the purchase of an outdoor warning
siren. Staff will be providing a short presentation about the
sirens.
Discussion
The City's Capital Improvement Plan calls for the purchase and
installation of up to four outdoor warning sirens over the next
four years including one in 1997. This network of sirens would
effectively provide outdoor warning to the vast majority of
Farmington population.
During a presentation in 1996, staff gave possible locations for
new sirens. Priority for those locations is based on current
coverage and maximum benefit, that is, serving the largest area and
population.
In order of staff priority the 1997 siren should be placed in the
area of 195th Street near Akin Road Elementary School.
The 1998 siren would be located along the Ash Street Corridor in
the area of the Fairgrounds. In addition to adding the Ash Street
siren, staff proposes moving the existing downtown siren to the
Rambling River Park/Middle School area. The combination of two
downtown sirens in the areas identified provide substantial
coverage to the entire area. This arrangement would involve added
cost for moving the existing siren which would be calculated as
part of the 1998 budget.
The 1999 siren would be located in the area vicinity of the new
County Road 31 Corridor and 203rd Street.
Any subsequent sirens would be located based on population and
outdoor recreation use.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
John Erar, City Administrato~
FROM: Kevin J. Raun, Ambulance Director
DATE: February 6, 1997
SUBJECT: Joint Powers Ambulance Board Discussion for Start-Up Operations
of a Third Ambulance
On March 3, 1997, the ALF Ambulance Executive Board will be holding their Annual Goals and
Objectives planning retreat.
One of the agenda items coming before the Executive Board will be for the discussion of when to
start up operations for a third ambulance which will operate on a "power shift" basis.
I understand this is an important issue for the City of Farmington; therefore, I wanted to share
with you the latest information that will be presented to the Board at their planning session on
March 3.
Background Information
The 1997 ALF budget contains funding for the placement of a third ambulance anytime after
Aprill, 1997.
The operation logistics for this unit is a ten (10) hour day, five (5) day a week unit. Thiswould
power shift our peak call load period in addition to the other two (2) 24-hour ambulances. The
hours of operation would be scheduled for the period from l2:00 p.rn. to 10:00 p.rn. The unit
would be off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. As the call load increases, the days and hours of
operation would be increased accordingly.
Per the direction of the Joint Powers Board, the third unit was to begin operation to coincide with
the opening of the new Water Treatment Facility in Lakeville. This opening was projected for
sometime after April 1, 1997.
Farmington City Council- Memo
February 6, 1997
Page 2
At the present time, we have a 24-hour ambulance stationed at Lakeville Fire Station No.1. Per
our operating policy, this unit rotates coverage on an every-other-day basis between Lakeville
Fire Station No.1 and the Farmington Fire Station, between the hours of7:00 a.m to 11:00 p.m
For overnight quartering, the unit returns to the Lakeville Fire Station. This rotation schedule is
to remain in place until the placement of a third ambulance.
When three units are in operation, there will be one ambulance stationed within each of the
member cities.
Presentation of Discussion Information to the ALF Joint Powers Board
At the Board's planning retreat, they will be presented with current data and information regarding
the implementation of the third unit.
This information consists of the following:
1. The City ofLakeville has advised me that the opening of the Water Treatment Facility has
been pushed back to approximately January 1998.
2. Our present service data base is indicating that call volume for a power shift ambulance may
not be economically prudent at this time. In fact, the month of January data indicated that had
a third ambulance been in service, based strictly on the need for unit availability, this
ambulance would not have been utilized for any calls.
This newest information will be communicated to the Board to assist them in reaching a policy
decision on this subject.
Recommendation
As the council well knows, there is a sizeable investment anytime additional personnel are hired
and additional resources are placed in operation.
Once this unit is placed in service, it is not likely the Board would ever rescind its operating
schedule due to low utilization. The fact is that the area is growing and calls are increasing, so the
issue really becomes one of timing to ensure its placement is deemed operationally and
economically prudent.
Farmington City Council- Memo
February 6, 1997
Page 3
My recommendation to the Board for their consideration will consist of the following:
1. Consider moving back the start-up date of the third unit to the fourth quarter of 1997 time
frame. This will allow us to monitor the utilization need based on call volume and will also
closely coincide with the anticipated opening of the Lakeville Water Treatment Facility.
2. Maintain the status quo deployment policy of the south-based ambulance until such time as
the third ambulance is operational. This shall include the rotation for this unit on an every-
other-day basis between Farmington and Lakeville.
3. If call utilization indicates a placement need prior to the fourth quarter, consider the
spontaneous and immediate start up of the third ambulance.
Summary
This memo is being communicated to the City Council and Administrator to appraise you of this
subject and to receive back your thoughts and comments on this subject.
Any and all communication responses may be forwarded to Council Member Gamer, John Erar,
or myself: and they will be brought to the Executive Board's attention at the March 3 meeting.
Thank you.

SUBJECT: 1996 Preliminary Fiscal Review
DATE:
February 18, 1997
INTRODUCTION
Preliminary review of 1996 General Fund Revenues and Expenditures has been completed. A
copy of the Budget to Actual comparison is attached to this memo. 1995 audited figures are
included to give the City Council a basis for comparison.
DISCUSSION
In November of 1996, the City Council revised the 1996 Budget to reflect more accurately the
expected revenues and expenditures. This was an attempt to stem the outflow of General Fund
reserves and preserve the Fund Balance. As Councilmembers may see from the Summary, this
effort was not entirely successful in the expenditure area but significantly improved from the
potential problem identified in November.
Revenues from 1996 as a whole exceeded even the revised budget in the areas of
Licenses/Permits and Intergovernmental Revenues. Despite a significant reduction of expected
Engineering and Administrative Fees, these Charges for Services still fell $20,693 short of budget.
Property taxes also fell short of budgeted revenues due to increased delinquency in taxes
collected by the county.
Expenditures exceeded budget by $18,292 or 0.6%. Specific causes for this excess include
additional professional services for labor arbitration (Administration); staff overtime (Police);
additional plowing, sanding and salting (Streets); additional staff engineering time on projects
(Engineering); and increased activity fees (Recreation).
Because the budget format was changed in November, every attempt has been made to correctly
apply both budget and actual expenditures to the appropriate departments. However, variances
between departments may have resulted from this reallocation. It is also important to recognize
that these are preliminary, unaudited numbers.
BUDGET IMPACT
It is important to note that although the net effect to the General Fund Balance is an increase of
$755, the excess of actual expenditures over budgeted expenditures is an undesirable outcome.
The management team is fully cognizant of their responsibilities in keeping their department and
division expenditures under the adopted budget.

This analysis is a report on the status of the City's General Fund Balance as a result of the
revised 1996 budget for the City Council's information. I will be happy to answer any questions
during the City Council meeting.
