Name: Tom Kaldunski Department: Public Works / Date: February 19. 1993 Meeting Date: March 1, 1993 /77 Category: Consent Subject: Engineering Standard Plates Explanation: I will be presenting a standard plate regarding soils • conditions and subgrade treatments. Reference Material/Responsibilty Attached Standard Plates Referred To: (Name) Department Larry Thompson Administration Wayne Henneke Finance Tom Kaldunski Public Works Russ Matthys Public Works Charlie Tooker Administration Signature MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: STANDARD PLATE DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 1993 Attached you will find a copy of a proposed standard plate for City streets. I am seeking Council approval for this City standard. The purpose of this standard is to officially recognize the City's past practice of removing the 2 feet of organic soils and filling with select granular materials. This plate gives the criteria under which this work must be done. This will require the 2 foot subgrade treatment in all new street construction and reconstruction projects. This practice has been used on all City reconstruction projects since 1986. It has been done in all phases of Dakota County Estates. By approving this standard, this subgrade improvement will be required on all proposed street improvement projects in 1993. Note that the installation of a perforated drain tile will be required in some instances due to poor soil conditions as determined by soil borings. The installation of this drain tile will provide for a manner in which the subgrade will be kept dry by allowing seepage to enter into the storm sewer system. It will also provide a sump pump discharge system in poorly drained soils. This will allow homeowners to keep basements dry and properly handle the discharge. It is illegal to discharge clear water via a sump pump into the sanitary sewer system. This standard has been used by the City of Lakeville with a great deal of success in areas such as Clay Acres. I recommend that the Council approve this City standard.

Signature . MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: EXCESS LIABILITY COVERAGE OPTIONS DATE: FEBRUARY 19, 1993 The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust offers two options in purchasing excess liability coverage. 1) LMCIT now makes it possible for cities to obtain excess coverage without waiving the statutory liability limit of $600,000 per occurrence. Under this option, the higher excess coverage limits would be available only for those claims which are not covered by the statutory limits. 2) Cities may choose to waive the statutory liability limits to the extent of the excess liability coverage purchased. Under this option, the higher coverage limits would be available for all claims, including claims covered by the statutory liability limits. The purchase of excess liability coverage is important due to the fact the City is exposed to some kinds of liability to which the statutory limits don't or might not apply. Some possible examples are: 1) Liability under the federal civil rights acts. 2) Certain types of liability that the City has assumed contractually in an indem- nification agreement. 3) Liability for actions in another state; e.g. by a city official attending a con- ference, or under a mutual aid agreement with a political subdivision across the border. 4) Liability for a zoning action under an "inverse condemnation" theory of law. After discussions with Brian Lundquist, the City's insurance agent, it is recommended that the City not waive its statutory liability limit. This is the same option that was chosen in 1991 and 1992.

Dissolution Date: y, February 26 ,1993 _ _ .,._ Upon completing the year long self analysis process, the Economic Development Commission recommended a new organizational structure and bylaws for the four entities represented on the EDC . This new structure called for the elimination of the Joint Powers Agreement and the establishment of the Area Wide Enhancement Group . The responsibilities , duties , mission statement , goals and objectives were formally submitted to the four entities of EDC plus the three townships for approval . Modifications to the bylaws were made following the various entities review . On February 12 ,1993 I met with representatives of Empire and Eureka Townships to confirm their organizations commitment to the Area Wide Enhancement Group . Both representatives affirmed their organization 's commitment to the new group . They assured me their organizations will ratify the bylaws . Each township will have a representative at the March 11 ,1993 Area Wide Enhancement Group meeting . The Castle Rock Township representative confirmed that the Township agrees with the Area Wide Enhancement Group bylaws ,mission statement , goals and objectives and structure . The township will be represented at the March 11 ,1993 Area Wide Enhancement Group meeting. All three township representatives stated their township will pass the necessary action approving the Area Wide Enhancement Group bylaws , mission statement , goals and objectives and structure this month . I have not received written notice or a copy of a motion by the townships affirming the commitment to the AWEG as of this date . A motion by the City Council authorizing the termination of the Joint Powers Agreement is necessary . This action by the Council allows its representative to vote for EDC dissolution at the March 11 ,1993 EDC meeting . Under M.S . 471 .59 subd . 4 , Termination of agreement , a joint powers agreement is in effect until the expiration date has been reached or until the agreement is rescinded or the agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms . Under the Joint Powers Agreement , Section 8 Length of Agreement , the procedure to be followed for termination of the agreement by an individual sponsor was established, however there is no reference to a procedure to be followed should the four EDC entities decide to terminate the agreement. With all entities of the EDC agreeing to the dissolution of the EDC Joint Powers Agreement and the establishment of the new Area Wide Enhancement Group structure and bylaws , a motion dissolving the EDC Joint Powers Agreement for a common benefit is suggested . The motion should provide the 4 Council 's EDC representative the authority to vote for the EDC dissolution at the March 11 , 1993 EDC meeting. The Council , if they so desire , could vote in favor of participating in the Area Wide Enhancement Group with no financial obligation at this time. All EDC property and any fund balances in the checking or savings account will be divided according to the terms of the Joint Powers Agreement . Ifthere are any questions , please feel free to contact me . 111_ 2Q'� Gerald A . Henricks HRA Executive Director AGENDA REQUEST FORM Item No. lb ot...

It is recommended that the City not extend its services outside of the City boundaries. The Extension Office has the option of: 1. contracting with a private hauler, or 2. annexing into the City. l/la4 *%D* Larry Thompson City Administrator cc: Mike Trdan - Dakota County file MEMO TO: LARRY AND TOM SUBJECT: RECYCLABLE COLLECTION - DAKOTA COUNTY EXTENSION OFFICE DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 1993 I have been approached by Mike Trdan, Environmental Specialist, of the Environmental Management Department of Dakota County with a request for assistance from the City. The County had been in the practice of collecting recyclable material from all of the County offices throughout the County. As of January 1, 1993, that service has been discontinued. Since the City has been collecting garbage from the Library and Soil and Water Conservation District office as regular customers, the collection of recyclables has been added to the regular garbage service like any other customer. The Extension Office, on the other hand, is outside of the City limits. Their garbage is collected by a private hauler. The problem for the County is that the hauler says that the collection of recyclables is not cost effective for it and would like a separate party to continue to handle the recyclables. Mike Trdan has asked if the City would collect the recyclables. The hauler is willing to "compensate" the City for its efforts. The price would have to be negotiated. I will not pursue this issue any further until I receive direction from both of you. /fsirsiPpiw Russ Matthys Assistant City Engineer cc: Ben Klotz
