3. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Gary Green, 705 5th Street, stated he is a member of the NA and AA groups and they
have a concern with the increase in the meeting room rental at the Rambling River
Center. Two of the meetings are quite small, but they may have to discontinue the
Monday night meeting if the rates go up. They appreciate the beautiful facility and take
very good care of it. They have a large influx of people from the counseling center and
are working with DWI people. They believe they are making the town a better place.
The meetings are published statewide. They want to keep the meetings growing and the
need is growing.
4. COUNCIL REVIEW OF AGENDA
Councilmember McKnight commented about the proposed concept review policy for the
southeast region. Regarding zone B, he would like to see the MUSA Review Committee
recommendation moved up in the process from step 5 to step 3. This would be before
final review of the concept plan by staff, Planning Commission and Council. Community
Development Director Carroll noted the problem with moving the MUSA
recommendation ahead of the annexation, is the City may not have the legal right to grant
MUSA to property that is not in the City. Councilmember McKnight stated nothing says
we have to vote, the committee can still do their work. Staff noted that would involve
breaking step 5 into two separate steps. The other issue with putting the MUSA ahead of
the annexation and the concept plan is that the City would be talking with the township
about the annexation of property without giving them clear indication of what it would be
used for. As far as MUSA is concerned, that would be a similar issue. Previously staff
... '.

Council Minutes (Pre-Meeting)

requested concept plans from all of the MUSA applicants so the MUSA Review
Committee would have that information. Councilmember Pritzlaff stated ifthe MUSA
Committee would meet four times a year and stays on top of everything can it still stay at
step 5. Councilmember McKnight liked the idea ofthe MUSA Committee meeting
quarterly.
Councilmember McKnight asked about the change order for the Ash Street project. City
Engineer Mann explained the change.
Councilmember McKnight then asked about the Seed/Genstar property annexation and
asked for an explanation of going the tax route compared to using building permit fees
for Castle Rock. Community Development Director Carroll stated an orderly annexation
agreement already exists with the Seed property. That is not the case with Castle Rock.
The annexation agreement did not address the issue of property tax sharing. It did not
appear to the EFP AC Committee that a conscious decision was made to not share
property tax revenue. It did not seem fair that because Empire was cooperating with the
annexation they would be deprived of the property tax revenues. Staff recommended the
minimum property taxes they would be entitled to under the statute is what they would
get.
Councilmember Wilson wanted to pull item 7f) Approve 2006 Tax Levy and Budget to
vote on it separately from the rest of the Consent Agenda items. Regarding the 2006 Fee
Schedule he received some information but asked if Administrative Services Director
Shadick would be providing more insight into the changes. Each department head will
address their increases in fees. Councilmember Wilson asked about the Rambling River
Center fees and what percentage the non-profit groups use the Rambling River Center
compared to other groups. Parks and Recreation Director Distad stated he can provide
that to Council at a later time. Acting City Administrator Roland noted the structure was
changed a few years ago to not single out anyone particular non-profit group, merely to
address categories of groups.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked about the sewer sharing with Lakeville and if that has any
affect on the capacity in that area. City Engineer Mann stated the sewer line in place now
has room for additional capacity. If more capacity is needed, the developer will replace
the current pipe with a larger pipe.

and the timing for the MUSA Review Committee to have input. Councilmember
Pritzlaffrecalled Councilmember Fogarty had suggested the MUSA Review
Committee begin meeting quarterly. Councilmember McKnight would leave the
process as is if they meet quarterly. The MUSA Committee is an important group
from which to receive input. Staff suggested that ifthere are no items to discuss,
the meeting could be cancelled until the next quarter. Councilmember Fogarty
would like the MUSA Committee meetings to begin shortly after the first of the
year. MOTION by McKnight, second by Pritzlaffto approve the concept review
process for the Southeast region and the multi-family and medium-to-high
density housing criteria. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Adopt Ordinance - Approving 2006 Fee Schedule - Administration
Staff presented proposed fee changes effective January 1, 2006. Each department
head gave an overview of the proposed changes for their area.
Mr. Gary Green, 705 5th Street, stated the non-profit groups are concerned about
the increase in the Class 2 fees for room rental at the Rambling River Center. The
people attending the meetings have no money. It is difficult for them to come up
with any contributions. The meetings are self-supporting. The money that does
come into the meetings is needed for books, materials, etc. He brought in a
Tuesday night meeting and there is a speaker meeting once a month on Saturday.
To add a speaker meeting for every Saturday would add another $30, this would
bring the total for all the meetings to $70. He believed the rates are approaching
an uncompetitive rate in the area to hold meetings such as this. When they have
to come up with that much money on a regular basis, some of them will move out
and buy their own building and that money will go out of town. They want to use
the Rambling River Center. It is a beautiful facility and Missie Kohlbeck is a
wonderful administrator. She helps them out constantly. They appreciate what
they do have and they want to keep it going.
Staff had proposed a $5 increase for rental ofthe meeting room for Class 2
groups. The fee for 2006 would be $15. Councilmember Fogarty was concerned
with increasing this fee as the fee was just established last year and would like to
see it stay at $10. Councilmember McKnight agreed with not changing this fee.
Councilmember Wilson also agreed to leave the room rental fee at $10, but was
concerned with the $30 discontinuance fee for garbage service. Staff surveyed
other cities and private companies and they do charge a discontinuance fee and
the proposed $30 is within the range. Councilmember Pritzlaff also did not agree
with increasing the Class 2 fees for room rental.
Mrs. Ravit Berg, 5241 203rd Street, commented about the garbage discontinuance
fee and asked why people cannot leave their containers in the garage.
Councilmember Wilson explained there has been an issue with residents leaving
town and not notifying the City when they returned and began using the garbage
service again. Mayor Soderberg noted rules are put in place for people that do not
follow them. Some come back early and get garbage service for no cost because
the driver sees a can and empties it. Mrs. Berg asked how you could cheat if you
already paid for the can. Your garbage can only be picked up if you have a can.
You put the garbage out and you obviously paid for the can. Mayor Soderberg
clarified this is for people who leave town for 3-4 months and discontinue their
servIce.
MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by Wilson to close the public hearing. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Fogarty, second by McKnight adopting
ORDINANCE 005-546 establishing 2006 charges and fees for licenses and

permits effective January 1, 2006 except the Rambling River Center Class 2 fee
which is to remain at $10. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) 203rd Street Wetland Buffers - Engineering
(This item was moved forward to accommodate the audience).
At the last meeting Council considered two cases regarding wetland buffers at
5215 203rd Street, owned by Benjamin and Jessica Rowan, and 5241 203rd Street,
owned by Christopher and Ravit Berg. At the last meeting Council considered the
issue with the Rowan's and the fact improvements were in place at the time the
buffer issue was identified. It was discussed that the Rowan's would be able to
keep their sod and sprinkler system to the rear property line. Regarding the
Berg's property, Council asked for a timeline ofthe discussions and
communications with the resident regarding the buffer. For the Rowan's
property, Council was asked to consider allowing an Encroachment Agreement of
the sprinkler system and in the drainage and utility easement, contingent on the
owner signing the agreement. Regarding the Berg's property the recommendation
was staffbe directed to require the removal ofthe encroaching items from the
City property and the buffer at the owner's expense.
Council considered the Rowan's property first. Mayor Soderberg recalled the
Rowan's presented a timeline at the last meeting regarding when items were
approved. He felt the Encroachment Agreement compromised the buffer. The
City made some errors so the City needs to correct those errors, but he still would
like to see the conservation easement maintained. He asked Council to consider
having the City restore the buffer and pay for the moving ofthe sprinkler system
so the conservation easement remains intact. The City made errors in permitting
and inspections and the Rowan's are not at fault, but we need to maintain the
integrity ofthe conservation easement. Councilmember Pritzlaffnoted with the
original compromise owners did gain footage in their backyards. He felt making
an exception for one would create problems later. He felt the City needed to
make it right and agreed with Mayor Soderberg. Councilmember Wilson stated if
we make an exception for the Rowan's, we are treating properties inconsistently.
He supported the Mayor's recommendation. Councilmember McKnight agreed
with the concept of treating everyone the same, but felt there were too many
extenuating circumstances. He was willing to leave the 10ft. as sod.
Councilmember Fogarty agreed with Councilmember McKnight, but wanted to
hear what the Rowan's had to say.
Mr. Ben Rowan, 5215 203rd Street, stated he was shocked by what is happening
now based on two weeks ago when Council was in agreement with leaving the
property as is. He felt they presented the facts and did not understand why it was
changing. Mayor Soderberg stated he wanted to treat everyone consistently. If
Council requires one to maintain a conservation easement, he wanted all to
maintain the conservation easement. We started with a wetland buffer and tried to
reach a compromise that would protect the wetland as well as release as much
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 19, 2005
Page 5
property as possible. He did not want to treat one property different from another.
What happened on the Rowan's property was no fault of their own. The City
made errors in granting permits and approving inspections and not identifying the
conservation easement as being encroached upon. To be fair, the Mayor felt the
City should restore that area, so the Rowan's would not bear the cost.
Councilmember Pritzlaff stated he would like to treat each property on a case by
case basis, but that will not work. By the compromise they did gain some footage
in their backyard.
Mrs. Jessica Rowan, 5215 203rd Street, stated they were treated differently from
everyone else. Others were aware of the conservation easement before their
landscaping was installed. The Rowan's was approved and then they found out
about the easement. Mayor Soderberg stated there were mistakes made and now
the question is how to make it right. If they had installed the improvements
knowing the buffer existed and where the line was, the Rowans' would be
required to pay to restore it. Because the City made some errors, we need to make
it right. We still have a conservation easement. The Rowan's have great
evidence showing they did nothing wrong, so the Mayor was willing to have the
City restore the buffer.
Councilmember Wilson stated tonight he received a copy of the Development
Contract dated October 21, 2002 and it references the wetland buffer and natural
area signs. The developer was given the information from the City to pass on to
the builder which clearly shows there is a wetland buffer for every home on the
north and northeast area of203rd Street. He felt they were making the Rowan's
situation consistent with everyone else. Councilmember Pritzlaff added a lot of
these situations are a communication problem between the developer, builder, and
the property owner.
Mr. Rowan stated they will lose the sale oftheir home because of this and it will
affect the presentation of their home this spring with the backyard torn up. Their
property will not be presentable to a buyer. Ifleft as is, it would be sold or at
least in the spring it will look nice. Mayor Soderberg stated it would not be
restored until spring. Mr. Rowan stated last week Council was on board with
leaving it as is, and now half the Council has changed their mind and given no
support for it except admitting fault. They have a sale pending and will not be
able to sell it in the spring so for the Rowan's this is a huge issue. Mayor
Soderberg asked Mr. Rowan how Council answers their neighbors when they
want Council to vacate their property back to the property line and vacate the
conservation easement. Mr. Rowan stated Council could show them the timeline,
that they were the first ones in the neighborhood. Mayor Soderberg stated that
will not matter to anyone else, but he would be treating one property different
from another. Staff noted there were other properties that had to do restoration
work and some will be done next year. Mr. Rowan stated their situation is unique
because they had a permit pulled for their sprinkler system and no one else did
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 19,2005
Page 6
and they had their escrow money released and no one else did. These are two
distinct things that Council could stand behind in dealing with others.
Ms. Amy Greek, 5349 203rd Street W, asked when the Rowan's moved in. They
moved in November 2003. Ms. Greek stated they were the first ones with sod on
the street and landscaping. They built with College City and people who used
other builders did not know about the wetland buffers. She found it hard to
believe when everyone received the same survey certificate that shows the
wetland buffer when they purchased the house and also received covenants that
show residents are not allowed to go into the wetland buffers, that the Rowans did
not know about this. She knows the Rowan's knew the wetland buffer was there,
because the sign was up before they put sod in, because the day that the sod went
in she called the City informing them the sod was installed past the sign. The
Greek's had asked for a variance when they built and were told they could not
have it because of the conservation easement. She was told the City would speak
to the Rowan's about the sod. She found it hard to believe when there was a sign
in every yard. They also pulled permits for a sprinkler system, sod, and received
their escrow money.
Ms. Ravit Berg, 5241 203rd Street, stated regarding the Rowan's property the
wetland buffer affects everyone on 203rd Street. She felt everyone should be
supplied with the same correspondence. In the correspondence it states that the
Rowan's called the City and they were told they were not allowed to install sod
and sprinklers and they still proceeded to do so. Mrs. Berg agreed everyone
should be treated equally. lfthe City provides the seed to restore the wetland
buffer, that is fine. She felt no special consideration should be given and objected
to the City paying for the sod. Her second issue is that anywhere the City wants
to restore the wetland buffer, they should pay for that also.
Mr. Rowan stated as far as the comments from Ms. Greek, he found it interesting
that she knows what the Rowan's knew about when he has never talked to her
until a couple weeks ago. As far as Ms. Berg's comments, she was speaking
about a date of September 2004 and their work was done in July 2004. He has a
picture from September 9, 2004 showing the sign and their work was done prior
to that.
Mr. Derek Christensen, 5289 203rd Street, stated he brought this to Council 1 0
months ago and fought to get his property back. They waited to spring to develop
their back yard and noticed that is when the buffer signs were installed. He felt
there were a lot of people that did not know the buffer was on their property. He
felt it would only be fair to give everyone their land back or treat everyone the
same.
Councilmember Wilson stated what he was agreeing to now is different than what
he agreed to last week. His preference would be to vacate the buffer for all
residents, but that is not realistic. Beyond that, we have to look at it consistently.

The Rowan's are trying to make their property presentable to put it on the market.
He asked how quickly the work can be done and what can be done to minimize
the impact to their yard. City Engineer Mann replied anytime they do work in a
yard they try to make as little impact as possible. As far as when the work can
start, depends on the weather. They would have to meet with the contractor to
work out a plan.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked what the cost would be for the work on the
Rowan's property. Staff estimated it to be approximately $2,000. The sod would
be pulled out and a fabric blanket would be put down over the seed. It would take
2-3 weeks for some things to begin to grow.
Mayor Soderberg asked the Rowan's if they would be willing to grant a
Conservation Easement if the City restores the buffer up to the conservation
easement line. Mr. Rowan replied if that is their only option. Their biggest
concern is selling their home. Councilmember Pritzlaff stated his concern is at
what point do they stop the City's cost if someone else comes in. Mayor
Soderberg stated the Rowan's documented that the City erred. If there is no
documentation, a permit was not required, no inspection was done, then the land
owner would be responsible. Acting City Attorney Knetsch agreed this was an
excellent distinction to make. They are different situations. MOTION by
Soderberg, second by Pritzlaff to direct City staff to restore the wetland buffer to
either the wetland buffer line or the conservation easement line, if a Conservation
Easement is granted, at City expense. Councilmember McKnight felt a dollar is
too much of taxpayers' money to fix this error. Mayor Soderberg and
Councilmember Pritzlaff agreed, but Mayor Soderberg noted the City made an
error and felt this was the best way to make it right. Councilmember Fogarty
stated she intends to vote against this because her concern is that the Rowan's had
no forewarning of this change from the last meeting and she has not had the
opportunity to speak with the Rowan's. Voting for: Soderberg, Pritzlaff, Wilson.
Voting against: Fogarty, McKnight. MOTION CARRIED.
The next property discussed is at 5241 203rd Street owned by Chris and Ravit
Berg. Staff provided documentation of communications with the Berg's. Mrs.
Berg noted at the last meeting and in the documentation there was a wetland
buffer workshop. She stated they were not notified of this workshop. They
distributed a petition among the residents along the wetland that they also did not
know about the workshop. She is glad to see that all residents will be treated
equally. There were two Councilmembers that called the Berg's and took their
time to try to understand the issue. They would like to be informed regarding
everything that has happened with the wetland issue. They did receive the
Conservation Easement documents three weeks ago, but only received the new
survey this week. Mrs. Berg stated the Council is working for them and would
like the Council to take more time to understand them. They are not getting what
they voted for. When she votes for Councilmembers she would like them to be
more understanding than the majority of the people. It would be nice to have a
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 19, 2005
Page 8
real workshop with all the residents invited. As some Councilmembers took time
to come to their home and tried to understand their situation, they will move the
pond to the other side ofthe yard. As it is frozen now, this would happen in
April. Their landscaper is willing to move it. Mrs. Berg wanted to make it
mandatory that in April, City Engineer Mann will come to their yard and
physically stake the pond, take a picture of the staked area, and they will dig a
hole to make the pond. Her other issue is the erosion problem in the backyard.
On the eastern comer of the yard there is a hump which is on City property. They
will move the rocks from this area. If this is done, there will be erosion from the
City property to the neighbors. Ifthe Berg's are asked to remove the rocks, she
does not want to hear a single complaint or receive a call from staff or the
neighbors to replace more sod. They did a favor for the City of paying for the
rocks to retain the erosion. She is only willing to move the pond if City Engineer
Mann personally comes to stake the location of the pond. They want to be
exempt ifthere is an erosion problem from removing the rocks. The last issue is
they want to be allowed to plant vegetation native to Minnesota and would like
the list to come directly from City Engineer Mann. They will restore the area
themselves. They do not want anyone to step on their property, seed it, touch it or
harass them in any way. They will do the work themselves with their landscaper.
They would like to have the entire buffer area off their property.
Councilmember Pritzlaffurged the Berg's to check with the City regarding any
setbacks before moving their pond. Mrs. Berg stated that is why City Engineer
Mann is coming. Councilmember Pritzlaff replied he is probably not coming. It
is your yard, you have surveyors that will sight where they property line is.
Check with the City to make sure there are no setbacks from the neighbor's
property to the pond. The Berg's agreed. Mrs. Berg stated she would like this
issue to be wrapped up today. They are volunteering to move the pond and it is a
very costly thing to do. She stated City Engineer Mann is coming. Mr. Berg
stated the reason they are asking for him to come, is last summer when they put in
the rock retaining wall and the fish pond they were in communication with the
City and they knew where the pond was going. They found out afterwards it was
in an area where it was not supposed to be. They want to make sure they do not
have any confrontations again and want to make sure the conservation easement is
marked correctly. Councilmember McKnight clarified that they are moving the
pond and the landscaping that is past the proposed conservation easement line.
Mrs. Berg stated the last 10 ft. from the property line. The Berg's pointed it out
on the picture what would be removed.
Mayor Soderberg reviewed Mrs. Berg's points. She asked for some documents
regarding the wetland buffer issue and directed staff to forward those documents
to Mrs. Berg. Regarding working with the landscaper, staffwill provide guidance
and place markers where the conservation easement line is. Everything from that
line towards the back of the property line would need to be restored to the wetland
buffer. Whether City Engineer Mann places the stakes, or a building inspector, or
a surveyor does not matter. Mrs. Berg stated her compromise is only dependent if

they work with City Engineer Mann. Mayor Soderberg stated the conservation
easement will be marked. The property on the conservation easement side will be
restored to natural vegetation and staffwill provide a list of what can be planted.
With regard to the erosion problem, that will have to be addressed. City Engineer
Mann stated with the rocks being removed, that presents an erosion problem.
Council needs to direct who is responsible for dealing with the erosion. There
will be an erosion issue until the site is graded back to what it needs to be and
then stabilized. How this will work is dependent on discussions with the Berg's
and their landscaper. The erosion, seeding and re-grading should all be part ofthe
same operation. There is a specification that needs to be met for the seeds. Staff
needs to receive the Conservation Easement document to make this official and
for the City to be able to vacate the drainage and utility easement that is beyond
the conservation easement. Mrs. Berg noted the Conservation Easement is
already in process and they have paid the mortgage company. The minute the
frost is out, the pond is moving to the other side. The landscaper will be moving
the pond and the rocks at the same time. None of the City's dirt from the hump
can go into their yard. Mrs. Berg does not want the four trees in the buffer
touched when the grading is done. Mrs. Berg wanted to make it clear that they
will remove the rocks, but does not want to hear one complaint about the erosion.
Councilmember Pritzlaff stated when the rocks are removed, the grasses will take
care of the erosion. City Engineer Mann replied they will have to establish that
with seeding and blanketing. Staffwill review the grading plan to determine what
was there. Mrs. Berg asked who will have to establish that because she is not
encroaching on City property. The Berg's wanted to make sure it is not them.
Mayor Soderberg stated you have encroached on City property and if you remove
the rocks, the wetland buffer will need to be restored by you. Mrs. Berg replied
no, she does not want to touch anything that has to do with the City. Mayor
Soderberg stated the Berg's will need to restore the wetland buffer and the portion
where they have encroached on City property. Mrs. Berg refused to take her seat
and Mayor Soderberg called for a recess at 9:21 p.m.
The Council meeting resumed at 9:32 p.m. Mayor Soderberg stated regarding the
property at 5241 203rd Street, the conservation easement line will be delineated so
the Berg's understand where it is. A list of vegetation will be provided along with
a specification for the seeding. As far as locating the pond, the pond needs to be
located inside the conservation easement and needs to meet any setbacks. Staff
will work closely with the landscaper to define these areas so everything works
together to restore the area. Councilmember Pritzlaff clarified there will be no
cost to the City and Mayor Soderberg confirmed this. Mr. Berg stated he does not
know what the cost of the re-grading will be, but hoped the City will be
reasonable if the cost is excessive and help them out. City Engineer Mann stated
we will be able to determine what was there before and would not recommend to
Council that the Berg's pay for any restoration over and above what was there
before. If there are further improvements that might be beneficial that will be
brought back to Council and the Council can determine whether to go ahead with
that. MOTION by Soderberg, second Pritzlaff, to direct staffto work with the

9. AWARD OF CONTRACT
10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Adopt 2006-2010 CIP - Finance
The CIP will include a schedule which outlines City projects, public works
projects and parks projects for 2006-2010. This was discussed at a workshop on
October 26,2005. All the 2006 projects have been included in the budget. 2006
projects include the First Street garage storage facility, the annual seal coat
project, well no. 8 and the pump house, sidewalk and curb replacement program,
annual mill and overlay project, Spruce Street bridge and utility street extension,
208th Street and utility extension from where it ends in the Industrial Park
westerly to CSAH 31, Hill Dee area street reconstruction, 195th Street east
construction from the current terminus to hwy 3, bike trail around the southeast
area trunk facility, and the Fair Hills pond bank stabilization project. The public
works projects total $20 million. The majority of the cost will be charged to
developers or land owners based on City policy. The Spruce Street project has $1
million in grant funding to help pay for the bridge with the balance of the project
being assessed back to the Spruce Street area with an agreement for an abatement
which the developer will be requesting at the time of construction of the project.
The 195th Street project will be brought to Council in early 2006 as to how this
project will be funded between the County, the developer, and the City as part of
their development agreement. The project might be split into a two-phase project,
part in 2006 and part in 2007. Park projects will be done on Silver Springs Park,
Vermillion Grove Park, Mystic Meadows Park, the Seed-Genstar Park, Evergreen
Knoll Park, Depot Way Arts Park, and planning on Dakota County Estates, Daisy
Knoll, and Westview Park. Park projects for 2006 total $548,000 and would be
funded by developer contributions as part oftheir requirements in the
development contracts and excess funding out of the park improvement fund.
Mayor Soderberg noted on the Consent Agenda was the approval of the
annexation for the Newland property which will facilitate the 195th Street
extension. MOTION by Wilson, second by Pritzlaffto approve the 2006-2010
Capital Improvement Plan. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Discussion of Citywide Broadband Connectivity - Information Technology
There has been interest from residents and Council to explore broadband
connectivity. City representatives attended a conference that focused on this
technology and the costs. This can be a powerful economic and residential

development tool. The City has recently installed a fiber optic network which is
the base needed to provide this technology to every home and business to be able
to meet telephone, internet and video demands for the future. The cost will vary
depending on the services and capital expenditures. Council agreed for staff to
research the options and place it on the City survey. Staffwill bring an RFP to
Council in January to do a Citywide survey and would like to include questions
regarding fiber optics providers of the services whether it be City run or a
combination of a public/private partnership. Staff will bring back some education
pieces to outline the City's options and how a couple other cities are doing this,
such as St. Louis Park and Chaska. There should be a workshop in 2006 to
discuss the options and how to move forward. Council reached a consensus for
this item.
c) Management Assessment City Administrator Candidates - Human Resources
Staffhas contacted PDI and Martin-McAllister for conducting management
assessments on the City Administrator candidates. PDI would charge $2500 for
two candidates and Martin-McAllister would charge $2000 for two candidates.
Mayor Soderberg noted one candidate has withdrawn so this would be for Peter
Herlofsky and Jeff O'Neill. Each company uses different assessment tools but
both would provide the information Council is looking for. Councilmember
McKnight was prepared to focus on one candidate. Mayor Soderberg noted this
would save some funds as there was one candidate that received all five votes of
the Council. He would be in favor of doing the assessment on one candidate.
Councilmember McKnight was to the point of working on an employment
agreement depending on the background check and the psychological check. He
was ready to move forward with this candidate. Staff clarified that staff should
continue with the background check and the management assessment on the
candidate identified by all five Councilmembers. Subject to the background and
management assessment being brought back to Council, at that time dependent on
the results Council would want to go forward with an offer to that individual. At
this time there will be a background check and management assessment on one
candidate. Councilmember Fogarty added and a contingent job offer. Staff noted
City Attorney Jamnik recommended Council wait to make the contingent offer
until Council has the background and management assessment in hand. The
preliminary verbal report could be ready by the end of the week for the
background. A complete background would take longer. Martin-McAllister has
indicated they would be able to provide this between Christmas and New Year's
and the results would be available in a few days. Acting City Attorney Knetsch
also recommended getting the results of the background and assessment first and
then provide a job offer. Mayor Soderberg recommended having Martin-
McAllister do the management assessment for Mr. Peter Herlofsky and provide
this information to Council for the first meeting in January. MOTION by
McKnight, second by Pritzlaffto approve the hiring of Martin-McAllister to
perform a management assessment on City Administrator candidate, Mr. Peter
Herlofsky. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

Resolution accepting donation
of X-26 Taser to Police Department
DATE:
January 3,2006
INTRODUCTION
As part of the proposed 2006 budget the Farmington Police Department has proposed the purchase of
Tasers for deployment with its Patrol Division. Tasers, more commonly referred to as stun guns are
now standard issue for patrol officers in over 7,000 police departments around the world and are
standard issue in over 1,700 departments. They have been in police service since 1998 and are
proven to reduce injury to both police officers and suspects.
DISCUSSION
On November 4th 2005 four off-duty members of the Farmington Police Department had the
opportunity to participate in a large scale study of "The Effect of Tasers on the Human Heart"
conducted under medical supervision at the Hennepin County Medical Center. The purpose of the
test was to record, via sonogram, the heart activity of a subject while being Tased.
Four participants from Farmington were each subjected to a ten second exposure to 50,000 volts of
electricity from a standard X-26 Taser. It should be noted that the normal exposure time in field use
would be 5 seconds. In return for participation each test subject was compensated with an X-26
Taser, Holster and refill package valued at $1,000.
The Police Department has updated its Use of Force Policy to include the use of Tasers in the
deployment of Less than Lethal Force. In addition all officers have been trained in the use of this less
lethal option.
Officer Shawn Scovill was one of the four test subjects from Farmington. As a member of the Patrol
Division he has chosen to donate his Taser to the Farmington Police Department for general
deployment with the Patrol Division.

Equipment Capital Outlay
DATE:

INTRODUCTION
The City's approved 2006 Capital Outlay Budget identified funding for a new mounted
sweepster broom.
DISCUSSION
Staffhas solicited quotes from two vendors for a new sweepster broom. The broom will be
mounted to a l445 John Deere mower. The broom will be used to sweep snow off of trails and
sidewalks. It will also be used to sweep shavings off of the outdoor ice rinks. During other
times of the year it will be used to sweep sand and debris off of trails, sidewalks and other hard
surfaces. Polfus Equipment in Rosemount, Minnesota submitted the low quote in the amount of
$3,700. The approved budgeted amount for this piece of equipment was $3,675. This quote is
$25 higher than the budgeted amount. It will take approximately 3 weeks for the sweepster
broom to be delivered to the City. Purchasing it now will mean that it can be used this winter for
snow removal.
BUDGET IMPACT
The 2006 Capital Outlay Budget included funding in the amount of $3,675 for a sweepster
broom. The cost is $25 over the budgeted amount.

RE:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Regarding Existing and Proposed Park, Trail and Open
Space Plan Map
DATE:
January 3,2006
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington amended its Comprehensive Plan twice in 2004 in order to update its Existing and
Proposed Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan Map (Plan Map). The updates were approved by the City
Council so that the location of future parks, trails and open space were identified in future developments.
DISCUSSION
The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) at its September 2005 meeting reviewed the existing
Plan Map to determine whether or not it needed to be amended to address trail locations in a development that
was being proposed by Bridgeland Development (the Developer) on land known as the Perkins property. At
that time the Plan Map did not show any future trails on this parcel. The PRAC felt that there should be trails
shown on this property and voted unanimously to recommend to the Planning Commission and to the City
Council that the Plan Map be amended to show trails on the Developer's property. The PRAC's Plan Map
amendment recommendation was then brought forward to the Planning Commission for a public hearing.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its December 13, 2005 meeting to receive comments on the
proposed amendment to the Plan Map. No one spoke in opposition to the amendment during the public
hearing. Attached are two exhibits. Exhibit A identifies the trail revisions on the larger Plan Map. Exhibit B,
calls out better the location of the revisions being made to the trail locations on the Developer's property.
ACTION REQUESTED
By resolution approve the amendment identified for future trail locations on the Existing and Proposed Park,
Trails and Open Space Plan Map as shown in Exhibit A and B.

SUBJECT:
LMCIT Excess Liability Coverage
DATE:
January 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The City has historically purchased excess liability coverage as part of its insurance cov~rage.
Accordingly, the City must decide annually whether or not to waive statutory liability limits to
the extent ofthe excess coverage purchased.
DISCUSSION
The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) basic liability coverage provides limits
of $1,000,000 per occurrence, but offers cities the option of additional liability coverage. As in
recent years, the City has chosen under its insurance coverage for 2006 to accept excess liability
coverage limits of $2,000,000 from the LMCIT. In accepting this excess liability coverage, the
City protects itself from liability claims which are not covered by the statutory limits. The
election not to waive the liability limits results in a 25% reduction of the City's premium for this
excess coverage.
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council should adopt a motion electing NOT TO WAIVE the monetary limits on tort
liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04.

FROM: Kevin Carroll, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: 2006 Community Development Block Grant Application
DATE: January 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The City has the right to apply for approximately $59,000 in Community Development Block Grant
[CDBG] funds for CDBG Program Year 2006 [July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007]. To secure the
grant money that is available, the City must prepare and submit an application that specifies eligible
activities or projects to which the City intends to apply the available funding. The completed
application must be submitted to the Dakota County Community Development Agency [CDA].
DISCUSSION
For the last several years, the City has received [federal] Community Development Block Grant
funds, which have been administered and distributed by the Dakota County Community Development
Agency [CDA]. The next CDBG "program year" will run from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007.
Last year's CDBG allocation amount was $65,500. The CDA has advised us that President Bush has
proposed a federal budget that reflects a 10% reduction in the CDBG program. The CDA has
therefore suggested that every city reduce last year's allocation by 10%, with the understanding that
upward adjustments can be made later if the final amount of the reduction is less than the amount
proposed by the President. Reducing last year's CDBG allocation of $65,500 by 10% results in $58,
950, which I've rounded to an even $59,000 for the time being.
In order to obtain the available CDBG funds, the City must complete and submit an application, as it
has done in past years. The application must identify the project(s) for which the CDBG funds will
be used, and the specific project activities to which the funds will be applied. CDBG funds can only
be used for "eligible" projects or activities that satisfy certain "National Objectives." Typically, such
objectives include redeveloping slums or blighted areas, creating or improving housing that benefits
individuals who fall within "low to moderate income" guidelines, or creating jobs that pay wages that
fall within certain ranges.
At this time last year, the City Council approved the HRA's recommendation that 50% ($32,750) of
the City's 2005 CDBG allocation, plus certain unused funds ($70,792.06) from prior years' CDBG
allocations be used for the acquisition of the "Riste Building," located at 209 Oak Street in downtown
Farmington. That process has been moving steadily forward. A hazardous materials ["hazmat"]
survey has been completed, and cost projections have been prepared regarding the hazmat abatement
that will be required when the building is demolished. A survey of the property has been prepared,
and copies have been distributed to the City Attorney, Dakota County Abstract and the property's
current owner, Mr. Hosmer Brown. Those parties currently have discussions in progress regarding a
few boundary line and title issues that need to be addressed before a closing date can be set.
At the Farmington HRA meeting that was held on December 13, the HRA Board discussed the 2006
CDBG allocation. At the conclusion of that discussion, the HRA recommended to the City Council
that the 2006 CDBG funds be applied to the two remaining "post-acquisition" costs associated with
the Riste Building: hazmat abatement and demolition. It is possible that the 2006 CDBG funds
(approximately $59,000) will not be sufficient to cover the combined total of the hazmat abatement
and demolition costs, in which case the HRA's plan will be to negotiate an arrangement with the
eventual developer of the property whereby the developer will either (a) pay a portion of those costs
when they are incurred or (b) reimburse the HRA for a portion of those costs after they have been
paid by the HRA. Conversely, if the combined total of the hazmat abatement and demolition is less
than $59,000, the HRA can then re-allocate the difference to another project.
You may recall that when this topic was discussed at the November 7 City Council meeting, it was
mentioned that the preliminary staff recommendation to the HRA was probably going to be that only
50% of the 2006 CDBG funds be allocated to the Riste Building. This was based on the fact that the
federal government is getting increasingly insistent that CDBG funds be spent in ways that result in
clear benefits to low-to-moderate income ["low-mod"] individuals. The federal government
apparently believes that too much CDBG money is being allocated to "slum and blight" projects,
which (in their eyes) has only indirect benefits (at best) to low-mod individuals. In response to this
concern, the Dakota County CDA has been asking that cities not spend more than 50% of their
CDBG funds on "slum and blight" projects unless that project will also meet the federal
government's low-mod criteria.
Every course of action has advantages and disadvantages. In the case of the Riste Building, the
advantage of using 100% (rather than 50%) of the 2006 CDBG allocation for hazmat and demolition
costs is the fact that we will probably be able to get the building demolished sooner, and we'll have
more options available to us with regard to the structuring of an acceptable financial arrangement
with the eventual developer. The disadvantage of using 100% of the 2006 CDBG funds for hazmat
and demolition costs is the fact that we will have to fashion a contractual arrangement with the
developer whereby a certain proportion of any newly-created housing units (this assumes that the
goal is still to construct a two-story mixed use building on the site) are reserved for individuals who
satisfy certain federal low-mod income guidelines. In addition, if the redevelopment of the site
results in the creation of ground floor retail or commercial space (which is our expectation and
objective), a certain proportion of any newly-created jobs will have to be made available to
individuals who satisfy the same federal low-mod income guidelines. With the CDA's assistance, we
believe that these requirements can be explained to prospective developers, and that there are
developers who will not consider them to be unduly burdensome. In short, we believe that the
advantages of using 100% of the 2006 CDBG funds for the Riste Building project outweigh whatever
challenges the federal requirements may present.
I have attached a proposed Resolution that has been prepared in the format required by the Dakota
County CDA. If the Resolution is approved by the Council, an application that is consistent with the
terms of the Resolution will be completed, attached to the Resolution and submitted to the Dakota
County CDA.
ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to approve the attached Resolution regarding the City's application for Program Year 2006
Community Development Block Grant funding and approving the allocation of 100% of said funds to
hazmat abatement costs and/or demolition costs associated with the redevelopment of the Riste
building site, located at 209 Oak Street in Farmington.

Liquor Law Violations
Public Hearings for the Suspension of Liquor License
DATE:
January 3,2006
INTRODUCTION
As part of its liquor licensing authority the City of Farmington conducts periodic compliance checks
on all licensed liquor retailers in the city. During a recent compliance check five licensed liquor
retailers in Farmington sold alcoholic beverages to an underage adult. In each case the seller has
been charged with the violation. Staff is recommending additional sanctions against the license
holders.
DISCUSSION
In late November and early December 2005 the Farmington Police Department conducted
compliance checks at all licensed liquor retailers in the city. One of two 19-year-old buyers, working
under the direct supervision of a police officer entered each business and attempted the purchase of
an alcoholic beverage. They were given strict instruction to openly identify themselves if asked to do
so and not to conceal their age in any way. If asked for identification they were instructed to provide
their actual Minnesota Driver's License. Staffhas included copies of the incident reports as well as a
driver's license photo of the youthful buyers for Council review. In each case the sale was observed
by a police officer. The youthful buyer set the alcohol down and the Police Officer immediately
informed the sellers that they had just sold to an underage person. The actual sellers have been
charged criminally with the violation.
Under Minnesota Statutes and Farmington Ordinance (3-12-13.1) the Council has a right to impose
penalties for violation of liquor laws. It is important for the City to send a clear message of owner
accountability and zero tolerance for these violations.
Per Farmington Ordinance 3-12-13.1 "The council has a right to suspend or revoke any license for
the sale of intoxicating liquor" for any such violation. In instances where similar violations have
occurred in other cities penalties have ranged from escalating civil fines to civil fines plus escalating
..,
~:; .t ",0\ :t
license suspensions. Since the inception of compliance checks in the City of Farmington the city has
imposed a civil penalty on violators and increasingly more severe penalties on those licensees with
multiple violations.
Of the five violations in 2005, four of the owners were first time violators and one has had multiple
consecutive prior violations. Pursuant to recent Council actions staff is recommending civil penalties
of $250.00 and a 3 day suspension for each of the first time violations. In the case of the licensee
with multiple violations staff is recommending a more severe penalty including a 7 day suspension
and a fine of $500.00. These penalties have been discussed with the City Attorney and we believe the
penalties are both reasonable and sustainable.
The City Attorney has prepared and delivered a Hearing Notice for each of the violators including a
description of the offense and the recommended penalties and the date of this Public Hearing. Each
license holder has been advised of their right to attend this Public Hearing and to be represented by
an attorney.
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff is recommending that all five Public Hearings be opened simultaneously and that each be heard
consecutively as listed.
Staff is recommending civil penalties of $250.00 and a 3 day suspension for each of the first time
violations. These would include; The VFW Club; The Ugly Mug; Oasis Market and New Moon
Buffet. In the case of the licensee with multiple violations, B&B Pizza, staff is recommending a
more severe penalty including a 7 day suspension and a fine of $500.00. In all five cases staff is
recommending that the licensee provide approved Server Training to all staff within 30 days. These
penalties have been discussed with the City Attorney and we believe the penalties are both reasonable
and sustainable.
Council should note that staff recommendations are not binding and Council has the right to depart
from them to be either more lenient or more severe depending on results of this public hearing.

02/18/1956.
Zhou asked us if we would like something to drink and JMC stated she would like a Miller Lite bottle. Zhou, who
was a bit confused stated beer? JMC replied yes. I advised Zhou I was fine with water.
,_'.: '.J
.~ I
Zhou returned with JMC's Miller Lite bottle, handed it to her and advised us we could help ourselves to the buffet.
It was at this point that we got out of the booth and approached the front counter to pay for the beer. JMC paid
$2.00 for the Miller Lite bottle and exited the restaurant.
I responded to Zhou and she advised me that she does not speak English. I talked with her son via the cell phon~
and explained to him what had occurred. He in turn explained to his mother what had happened. "'--,...,-,,,
I asked Zhou for her driver's license which she provided. I advised Zhou as well as her son that she would be
hearing about her liquor license from the City Attorney.
I asked Zhou if she had any questions and she said she did not.

RE: 2006 Rate Schedule
Dear Ms. Roland:
We appreciate the trust you have shown in our firm as we've helped you plan and implement your
municipal projects in 2005. To help you prepare for projects next year, we are enclosing our 2006 hourly
City Rate Schedule and Standard Rate Schedule. Please note the rate schedules list a range of billing
rates for each category, as rates vary for individuals based on experience and area of discipline.
Our 2006 rates reflect our commitment to remain cost competitive while offering a comprehensive range
of services with the depth of experience you expect from your consulting engineer. The increased costs of
health and professional liability insurance, combined with the increased costs of hiring and retaining
talented staff, cause us to adjust our rates as outlined on the attached schedules. As previously agreed
during the City's budgeting process, the increase in the retainer amount for 2006 will be limited to 3%.
We understand that realizing good value for engineering and consulting services rendered is important to
the City, and we will continue to strive to provide you with the best service as cost effectively as possible.
If you have questions about our services or our rates, please feel free to contact either of us at the numbers
listed below.
We look forward to continuing our service to you in 2006.
Sincerely,
BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INe.

Official Depositories of City Funds
DATE:
January 3,2006
INTRODUCTION
Each year, official depositories of funds must be designated by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Minnesota Statutes Section 118 sets forth the procedures for the deposit of public fund~ and
requires the vendors be designated as depository of funds. The City of Farmington has money
which is available for investment. Different financial institutions offer different rates of return
on investment. Investment interest income should be maximized while conserving capital and
protecting taxpayer funds. In order to optimize the rate of return on the City's funds under
section 118, the following vendors are recommended as depositories for fiscal year 2006:
Anchor Bank of Farmington
League of Minnesota Cities 4M Fund
RBC Dain Rauscher
Wells Fargo Investments
Salomon Smith Barney
The City has made these depositories aware of the allowable investments under Section 118 in
which the City will invest.
BUDGET IMPACT
Revenues from investment interest are budgeted in 2006.
ACTION REQUIRED

RE:
Adopt Strategic Revenue Plan for the Parks and Recreation Department
DATE:
January 3, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The Parks and Recreation Department (Department) charges fees for services and facilities that it provides to
the public.
DISCUSSION
Department staff created a Strategic Revenue Plan (SRP). The SRP is attached for your review. The SRP was
created to provide better direction to Department staff on determining fees for services provided. The SRP
identifies what level of direct and indirect costs should be recovered through the fees charged. The SRP does
not set the actual fees for the services and facilities provided, but rather it creates the framework in which the
fees are determined.
The SRP identifies pricing guidelines, cost recovery standards and pricing worksheets. The pricing guideline
is more of an internal strategy that provides direction to staff on how certain services are priced based on the
amount of public versus private benefit is gained. The cost recovery standard provides direction to staff on
how much of the overall expenditures by Division the Department should be recovering through the fees it
charges for the services it provides. The worksheets found in the Appendix will be used by staff to price
services and facilities and will follow the pricing guidelines identified in the SRP.
It is important to keep in mind that this is a strategic plan and not a policy. A strategic plan provides tactics
that are deliberate and will help guide the Parks and Recreation Department as it determines fees.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission has reviewed the Strategic Revenue Plan and approved it at
its December l4, 2005 meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED
By motion adopt the Strategic Revenue Plan for the Parks and Recreation Department.

Strategic Revenue Plan
I. Introduction
A. Rationale
The purpose for developing a Strategic Revenue Plan is so that members of the Parks and
Recreation Department, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, City Council and
residents of Farmington have a better understanding of how fees are determined for services
provided by the Department. Without a Strategic Revenue Plan there is no clear direction
about what the level of expectation is for the amount of revenue that ought to be generated to
offset the costs to run programs and to operate and maintain facilities and parks. The City
has a Fee Ordinance but the ordinance does not provide any direction for what level of costs
should be recovered through fees charged. The Fee Ordinance only sets the fees that can be
legally collected by the City. Adopting this Strategic Revenue Plan then will provide the
direction needed for the Department to create a fee structure that identifies the level of costs
recovered by fees and the level of costs recovered by a subsidy.
B. Philosophy
A general philosophy that has been taken by the City of Farmington is that parks and
recreation is an important service for the community. The City's philosophy is very
consistent with other municipal governments meaning that it recognizes city government
should provide recreational programs, recreational facilities and parks to its residents. Parks
and recreation can play an important factor in improving the quality of life for individuals
and the community collectively. The greater question regarding the philosophy is what
services should be offered by the Parks and Recreation Department and how much should the
City taxpayer's subsidize these services versus how much the cost of these services should
individuals and/or organizations be responsible for covering.
c. Guiding Principles
The Strategic Revenue Plan should take into consideration that fees ought to be fair and
reasonable for the public. It also should take into consideration the direct and indirect costs
that ought to be covered by fees and charges. With this in mind, the following 10 Guiding
Principles were used to develop a Parks and Recreation Department Revenue Strategic Plan:
1. Provide and maintain public recreational facilities and parks by using alternative
or supplemental funding sources so that all residents are able to enjoy them.
2. As much as possible and to the extent required by law, provide equal opportunity
and access to programs, activities and events for all residents to enjoy.
3. Programs, facilities and parks should be staffed with trained and qualified
workers and the cost to provide such staff should be addressed when developing a
fee pricing structure.
4. Develop a target goal for a recovery rate at which the Parks and Recreation
Department's various divisions' total budget should be covered by fees and what
portion of the overall budgets should be covered by a subsidy.
5. When developing pricing guidelines, identifY who benefits from the service that is
received i. e. the community at-large or a specific organization or individual.
3
Strategic Revenue Plan
6. Determine why the service was needed and was the service specific to the group
or individual that required it i. e. supervision of or clean up after a softball
tournament.
7. Determine whether the fee imposed will cause a hardship on the specific user.
8. Restraint should be used when considering the waiving of fees for an organization
or individual and should be an exception rather than the rule.
9. Fees that are set for programs, facilities and parks should be competitive with
other private and public markets.
10. When setting fees, determine what the appropriate level of direct and indirect
costs should be recovered by fees, by other funding sources and/or by tax payer
subsidy.
II. Definitions
Developing a Strategic Revenue Plan requires an explanation of language that is normally used
when describing fees, costs and customers.
A. Costs
There are certain costs associated with the service that is provided. Costs can be broken into
two areas direct cost and indirect cost. Following are definitions and some examples of what
direct and indirect cost means:
1. Direct Costs
These are costs that are specific to a program, facility or park. It is a cost for providing a
specific service. In recreation programs this would include such things as equipment,
supplies and materials purchased specifically for the program, personnel, contracted
service(s) and/or facility rental.
2. Indirect Costs
These are costs that are not specific to a program, facility or park but instead are
overhead costs that the Department has including: utilities, publicity, and/or other
contractual services not specific to the program but still needed for the program to run
(contracted janitorial services) successfully.
3. Administrative Costs
These are costs to offer the service such as administrative staff time for correspondence,
training, marketing, debt service and facility and grounds maintenance.
B. Fees
There are different methods for determining a fee that should be charged based on the cost
associated with the service provided.
4
Strategic Revenue Plan
1. No Cost Fee
This is a situation where no fee is charge to an individual or an organization, which
means the City will subsidize the direct and indirect cost of this service. A no fee cost is
acceptable when a situation occurs in which the entire community benefits from the
service rather than a specific individual or organization.
2. Partial Cost Fee
A fee that is charged to a group or individual to cover some portion of the entire cost but
covers less than the full direct and full indirect costs. In certain situations, this could be a
flat percentage charged for only the direct costs. It could also be a fee that is charged to
cover all of the direct costs but not any of the indirect costs. This generally means that
there could and/or should be some level of subsidy for direct and/or indirect costs from
other funding sources such as City taxpayers, grants or dedicated funds to support the
servIce.
3. Full Cost Fee
This is a fee charged to a group or individual to recover all of the direct and a portion of
indirect costs associated with providing a service. This normally means that there is no
level of subsidy by City taxpayers for direct costs but City taxpayers would cover some
level of the indirect costs. In a full cost fee situation a group or individual who benefits
from the service provided should cover all direct costs associated with the service
provided and should cover some portion of the indirect costs through a fee charged by the
City. However because there is some community benefit to the service provided, the City
taxpayers should also pay a portion of the indirect costs associated with the service
provided.
4. Market Rate Fee
When there is a demand for a service, the fee is charged based on that demand.
Generally the market will dictate the fee based on what the competition is charging.
Covering direct, indirect and administrative costs is not the only reason for determining
the fee to be charged. The fee that is charged is based on what the market will bear for
the service provided. Other market providers such as private business, other
governmental entities help set the market rate fee. In this situation an organization or
individual is the sole benefiting party and there is no benefit to the community.
C. Customer Categories
1. Resident
A consumer who resides within the community's boundary from which the services are
provided and pays taxes for the services to be provided.
2. Non-Resident
5
Strategic Revenue Plan
A consumer who does not reside within the community's boundary from which the
service is provided and does not pay taxes in order for the service to be provided.
III. Benefits
A. Value
Certain services or facilities have value to groups or individuals who use City facilities or
access City services. One of the benefits of developing a Strategic Revenue Plan is so that a
value can be placed on the various services provided by the City's Parks and Recreation
Department.
B. Discipline and Control
If groups or individuals know that there is a certain value placed on a service or facility, it
would seem to allow for better control of groups or individuals who are paying a fee to access
the service or use a City facility. Charging a monetary fee would seem to allow the City to
better be able to discipline, control and hold accountable the participants.
C. Rationing
Creating a Strategic Revenue Plan should allow the City the ability to ration limited services
and facilities among a large number of users. The City must be careful that it does not
prohibit certain users groups from accessing a service or using a facility because of the fee or
charge set. It is a delicate balance between supply and demand. The City must make sure
that the supply does not exceed the demand or there will be services and facilities that may go
unused. The City must also make sure that the demand does not exceed the supply greatly as
this will cause frustration in users who may look somewhere else for a service or facility.
IV. Description of Services and Facilities Provided by the
Farmington Parks and Recreation Department
A. Recreation
The City of Farmington is fortunate to have a wide diversity of programs, events and services
that it provides to its residents. City Recreation staff not only continues to provide standard
recreational programs but it also takes great pride in developing and implementing new
programs annually. Recreation staff offers programs, events and services in the following
programming areas:
1. Youth Programs
These programs serve participants under the age of l3 years. Some but not all example of
the types of programs that the Parks and Recreation Department offers include: sports,
after school programs, summer playground program, swim lessons and arts and crafts.
6
Strategic Revenue Plan
The focus on this group is to get participants into programs at an early age so that they
learn about and take an active interest in positive programs and hobbies rather than
negative ones.
2. Teen Programs
These programs serve participants between the ages of 13 and 17 years. This is a
difficult age group to attract into programs offered by the Parks and Recreation
Department. There has been some limited success in developing a swim and jam event at
the outdoor pool that has resulted in the 13 and 14 year old age group participating in.
High school students who are l6-l8 years of age are typically more independent with
having the ability to acquire a drivers license and thus are able to drive to more private
based programs rather than public based programs. The focus on these types of activities
is to provide social opportunities while promoting positive activities to participate in as
opposed to negative activities to participate in.
3. Adult Athletic Leagues
These programs serve participants between the ages of 18 and 55 years. The focus of this
type of program is to provide for a healthy outlet for adults from their work commitments
while promoting fitness, exercise and social interactions. Examples of leagues typically
offered by the Parks and Recreation Department includes: touch football, co-rec softball,
men's softball, co-rec soccer and co-rec volleyball.
4. Adult Programs
Like adult athletic leagues these programs are offered to participants between the ages of
l8 and 55 years. These programs typically are offered to promote the development of a
hobby or satisfy the need for continued lifelong learning. Type of programs typically
offered by the Parks and Recreation Department includes: fitness, arts and crafts and
individual sports in a non-competitive but learning environment such as golf lessons.
5. Senior Programs
These are programs that are geared towards adults 55 years and older. These programs
typically focus on promoting the following: development of a hobby, learning a new skill
or trade, social interaction and continued lifelong learning. Types of programs typically
offered by the Parks and Recreation Department includes: card playing, educational
classes on health and finance, fitness, day trips and extended trips/travel.
6. Adaptive or Special Needs
These are programs provided to participants of all ages who have abilities that differ from
other populations. Often it is attributed to a physical, mental or social condition. These
programs focus on providing social interactions, fitness, education and physical skill
development such as coordination and life skills such as personal hygiene. There are two
types of programs: adaptive and inclusive. Adaptive programs are specifically designed
7
Strategic Revenue Plan
for people with disabilities to participate in and are generally segregated activities.
Programs that are inclusive provide assistance or an accommodation for individuals with
disabilities in order for the individual to be integrated into general Parks and Recreation
Department programs. The Parks and Recreation Department provides limited programs
that serve this population category. Examples of some of the programs that could be
offered are: arts and crafts, sports, fitness and trips.
7. Scholarship Program
Members of the community who may want to participate in a program may not be able to
financially afford the registration fee. The goal ofthe scholarship program is to provide
financial assistance when needed in order to make all programs available to all members
of the community regardless of income. Appendix A contains an application form and
information about the guidelines/qualifications needing to meet in order to qualify for the
scholarship program.
8. Special Events
These are events sponsored by the City that are generally open to the public and geared
for a large group of people. The purpose of special events is to create a large event that
encourages social interactions between large numbers of people. An example in
Farmington of a special event is the Rambling River Days.
9. Trips/Tours
These are planned excursions that take advantage of private businesses primarily geared
towards leisure activities. The purpose of these types of activities is to create an
awareness of what is available in the community and in other communities beyond what
the City's Parks and Recreation Department offers.
B. Parks
The City has 25 parks with over 450 acres in its system. There are more than 35 miles of
paved trails that have been constructed over the years as a result of development. Park
maintenance staff members have the responsibility to ensure that the parks, outdoor athletic
fields and trails are maintained at a safe and usable level. The areas of park and trail
maintenance responsibilities include the following:
1. Softball Fields
The City's Park Maintenance staff currently maintains two adult softball fields at
Rambling River Park. Routine annual maintenance work includes mowing, infield
dragging, fertilization, core aerating, top dressing, irrigating and spraying for weeds. The
City also paints lines to mark the fields for play. The City's Recreation staff organizes
and schedules several adult slowpitch softball leagues and an adult touch football league.
In addition to City sponsored leagues, the Farmington Men's Fastpitch organization also
uses one of the fields for league play.
8
Strategic Revenue Plan
2. Baseball Fields
The City's Park Maintenance staff currently maintains two youth baseball fields. One
field is located at Rambling River Park and a second field is located at Prairieview Park.
Routine annual maintenance work on the two fields includes mowing, infield dragging,
fertilization, core aerating, top dressing, irrigating and spraying for weeds. The City also
paints foul lines to mark the fields for play. The Farmington Youth Baseball Association
uses both of these fields for play. The City also maintains 10 neighborhood ballfields
some of which are used by the Farmington Youth Baseball Association's In-House
program for games and practices.
3. Picnic Shelters
The Farmington Parks and Recreation Department has five picnic shelters that it
maintains. Shelters at Rambling River Park and Evergreen Knoll Park have restrooms
with running water and so staff members have more cleaning and maintenance work to
perform at these two shelters. New shelters at Tamarack Park, Meadowview Park, Hill
Dee Park and the Prairie Waterway have been built in the past two years and do not yet
have restrooms with running water. Routine maintenance performed at shelters includes
removing garbage, sweeping and washing down the concrete floors and picking up litter.
4. Soccer Fields
The City currently does not maintain any soccer fields.
5. Tennis Courts
The Farmington Parks and Recreation Department currently maintains two tennis courts
at Rambling River Park. Maintenance includes picking up litter and replacing light bulbs
as the two courts are lighted courts.
6. Outdoor Hockey and Pleasure Skating Rinks
The City's Park Maintenance staff creates the ice surface and then maintains two outdoor
hockey rinks and several pleasure skating rinks. Maintenance for the two outdoor hockey
rinks includes painting lines prior to the initial flooding, regular flooding to maintain ice
surface, snow removal and sweeping. Maintenance of the pleasure skating rinks includes
the flooding the initial base of the rink, regular flooding to maintain the skate-able
surface, snow removal and sweeping. Periodically and when there is time, staff members
also will shave down the surface of the ice in order to create a smoother surface.
c. Facilities
The City's Facility Maintenance Division not only maintains recreational facilities but is also
responsible for maintaining all City facilities. This means that staff makes sure that
light bulbs are changed, buildings are cleaned through a contractual service, windows are
cleaned, any broken items are repaired or placed, the water in the outdoor pool is being
9
Strategic Revenue Plan
properly sanitized and the ice surface at the arena is safe and in good skating condition.
Facility maintenance staff are responsible for maintaining the following recreational
facilities:
1. Outdoor Pool
The outdoor pool is located in Evergreen Knoll Park. The outdoor pool has two separate
aquatic components: a larger swimming pool with water that varies in depth from 3 feet
to 13 feet and a small wading pool that is less than 2 feet in depth. Neither pool has zero
depth entrances. The larger pool features one meter and three meter diving boards, a
small drop slide, tables and chaise lounge chairs and large shade funbrellas. The City
utilizes the outdoor pool for many programs including: swim lessons, open swim, family
swim, private rentals and special events. Each of these programs charges a fee with the
type of program driving the fee charged.
2. Schmitz-Maki Arena
The Schmitz-Maki Arena is a single sheet NHL size (85 feet wide by 200 feet long)
indoor ice rink. It has seating for 750 people and when standing room is included it is
able to seat up to 1,000 people. The City rents ice time to various user groups including
but not limited to the Farmington Youth Hockey organization, Farmington School
District for the high school boys and girl's hockey teams, senior men's hockey group and
occasionally to other communities youth hockey programs when time is available. The
Parks and Recreation Department also offers a learn-to-skate program and several open
skate sessions for the general public to access during the week. The facility includes six
team rooms, a main lobby area and a mezzanine that contains a concession stand. The
City has an agreement with the Farmington Youth Hockey organization that allows the
organization to operate the concession stand. The City provides a small sales office where
tape, pucks and hockey sticks are sold and a skate sharpening service for a fee is charged.
3. Rambling River Center
The Rambling River Center is located at the intersection of Third and Oak Streets. The
Rambling River Center is a facility used for older adult programming and includes both
drop-in and planned programs. The Rambling River Center is also a facility that can be
rented by the public for meetings, gatherings and/or events. The facility is quite old and
was converted from a private business use to an older adult center 23 years ago. It
provides a home for community outreach programs such as senior congregate dining and
the meals on wheels program. The Rambling River Center contains the following
building spaces: computer lab, dining room, full kitchen facility, office space, two
meeting rooms, fitness room and a sun room. Rental of the facility can be set up for a
specific space or the entire facility can be rented out. Rental costs are currently based on
a base price for each space rented plus an hourly fee and group rates are based on its non-
profit or profit status.
4. Skate Park
10
Strategic Revenue Plan
A skate park was created inside an existing outdoor hockey rink. The skate park has a
limited number of ramps for participants. The ramps are three feet or less in height. No
paid supervision is provided at the skate park. It is open during the hours of7:00 a.m.
until sunset as no lighting is provided.
5. Warming House
The City owns, operates and maintains a warming house at the site of the two outdoor
hockey rinks and one pleasure rink. The warming house has electricity, restroom
facilities and can be heated in the winter. Paid staff members supervise the warming
house during the hours that it is open to the public. The warming house is open in the
winter generally from late December until mid-February depending on weather
conditions. During the summer months, the City's summer playground program uses the
warming house as a site.
v. Pricing Services
A. Community Benefit
The City must determine what services that it wants to provide to the most people and at the
least cost to the participants. These services are generally more heavily subsidized by
taxpayers because they are of the greatest benefit to the entire community and therefore it is
important to provide the greatest amount of access to them. These services benefit the
community through increased property values and/or enhance the quality of life for all
residents. The community therefore generally pays for these services through taxes rather
than fees. The services are offered to the City's residents at little or no charge. Examples
would include: trails, parks/open space, special events, and scholarship program.
B. Individual/Organizational Benefit
Certain services generally benefit an individual or organization more heavily than the
community because they promote the individual or organizations well-being more and the
community's well-being less. Services provided are specific to an individual or
organization's need rather than the community's need. Often it means exclusive use of a
facility, park or athletic field, which excludes the community from having access to use the
facility, park or athletic field. The individual or organization therefore generally pays for
these services through user fees or reservation fees. As the use of a facility, park or athletic
field increases in exclusivity with little or no community benefit, then it seems reasonable
that little or no City taxpayer subsidy should be given.
c. Pricing Guidelines
The Farmington Parks and Recreation Department offers many services to the community.
Table 1 below identifies pricing guidelines that the City should use when determining fees
charged for services provided either to the community, an individual or an organization:

VI. Cost Recovery Standards
A. Background
The Farmington Parks and Recreation Department has a history of charging fees for services
it provides. However, direction has never been identified on how much of the Department's
annual expenditures should be covered by fees and how much of the annual expenditures
should be covered by tax payer subsidy and/or other revenue sources. Table 2 shown below
identifies from 2002 through 2004 the pre-audited amounts of expenditures and revenues for
each of the Department's various general and special revenue fund budgets. The table also
identifies by year the percentage of costs that were recovered by fees and the percentage of
costs subsidized by other means such as City tax dollars.

Given the historical information contained in Table 2, it seems that standards should be
created that provides direction to the Parks and Recreation Department staff and identifies
what level of costs should be covered by fees and what level of costs should be covered by
other subsidies. With this in mind, Table 3 located below identifies the minimum target level
of costs that should be covered by fees charged for each of the different Parks and Recreation
Department's Divisions' budgets.

It is important to remember that these cost recovery standards are meant to provide broad
budget guidance to Parks and Recreation Department staff when determining the amount of
revenue that should be generated from fees charged for services that the Department
provides.
B. Implementation of Strategic Revenue Plan
1. Initial Timetable for Implementing the Strategic Revenue Plan
The initial Strategic Revenue Plan shall be reviewed by the appropriate parties and the
following sequence should be used for final approval:
1. Staff shall drafi an initial Strategic Revenue Plan and then distribute for review to the
Park and Recreation Advisory Commission.
2. The Park and Recreation AdvisOfY Commission shall revie"v the initial draft Strategic
Revenue Plan, make amendments to the policy (if any) and then recommend approval to
the City Council.
3. The City Council shall review the draft Strategic Revenue Plan for further revisions
after receiving itfrom the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and then approve
it.
2. Strategic Revenue Plan Review
14
Strategic Revenue Plan
Once the Strategic Revenue Plan has been approved by the City Council, it shall be
reviewed annually in conjunction with the Fee Ordinance. The strategic plan may be
amended but the following sequence should be used to do so:
1. Staff drafts amendments to the Strategic Revenue Plan and then distributes draft
amendments to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commissionfor review.
2. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission reviews the draft amendments, makes
any further amendments to the Strategic Revenue Plan and then recommends approval to
the City Council.
3. The City Council reviews the draft amendments and either approves or does not
approve the Strategic Revenue Plan amendments.
