Bond Rating Upgrade
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
The City was notified on Tuesday June I, 2004 that Moody's Investors Service has
upgraded the eity's bond rating from A3 to A2. The upgrade was a result of Moody's
surveillance efforts - that is continued follow up on the eity's financial situation.
Moody's Investors Service is an internationally recognized agency which provides ratings
on investments. Moody's provides an independent, objective assessment of the
creditworthiness of debt obligations for the public finance market. The rating system is
an easy to understand ranking for both key parties (investors and issuers) in a public
finance transaction.
Bond ratings range from Aaa to e, with Aaa bonds being judged as the best quality.
Bonds with an Aaa rating carry the smallest degree of investment risk and therefore,
bonds with the Aaa rating attract the lowest interest rates payable.
The City of Farmington's bond rating was upgraded in May 2003 to the A3 rating. The
Baal rating previous to that had been in force since before 1990. ehanges in bond ratings
occur so as to reflect variations in the intrinsic position of individual bonds and indicate
that Moody's observes some alteration in the investment risk of the bond. This upgrade of
the eity's bond rating to A2 (the second upgrade in 13 months) indicates that Moody's
believes the eity's financial situation continues to improve.
BUDGET IMPACT
Normally, the higher the bond rating, the lower the interest rate the eity would expect to
pay on the debt issued. Lower interest rates mean less expense to the eity's taxpayers.
ACTION REOUIRED

DATE:

INTRODUCTION
At the May 17, 2004 City eouncil meeting, Ms. Pam Elvestad, representing Farmington Lanes,
forwarded concerns regarding the construction along 5th Street. The concerns expressed included the
amount of time the construction is taking, access issues, directional signage, garba!e pickup,
compensation for lost revenue and a request for angled parking along the east side of 5 Street in
front of the bowling alley.
DISCUSSION
The construction along 5th street has been difficult. The nature of the utility work (30-foot deep
sanitary sewer, multiple connections to the creamery etc.) and the recent near record setting wet
weather has slowed the construction process and made it more difficult to minimize the access issues.
Staff has been and will continue to work with the contractor and the business owners to minimize
construction related and access issues. Signage has been installed to direct traffic to the local
businesses and the garbage pickup has been addressed. As of the writing of this memo (6/2/04),
construction is moving ahead at a better pace and the utility work should be completed shortly with
the street work following right behind.
In regard to compensation for lost revenues, the City would need to submit any claim to the eity's
insurance carrier for their determination of any liability on the City's part. At this time, no claim has
been received.
Staff has met with the owner of Farmington Lanes and reviewed the request for angled parking.
Angled parking is not recommended by the traffic engineer over parallel parking due to safety issues.
In addition, 5th street is designed to be 32-feet wide; the standard street width. If angled parking were
to be added, curb "bump outs" would need to be added to encompass the parking area which would
effectively narrow the street width to about 23-feet. For these reasons and to maintain future
consistency, staff does not recommend the addition of angled parking on 5th Street.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
ACTION REQUESTED
For information.
Respectfully Submitted,

Re: Water and Sewer Benefit eharge
Property Address:
107 5th Street
Farmington, MN 55024
Dear eouncil Members,
I would like to come to you with an appeal to waive 2 fees in the City of Farmington's fee
schedule that totals $3,000.00. The fees are under Municipal Services in the City's fee schedule.
The 1 st one is under Sewer and it's listed as a Benefit Charge in the amount of $1,780.00. The 2nd
one is under Water and it is also listed as a Benefit eharge in the amount of$1,220.00.
These fees were brought to our attention in December 2003 by Sue Miller in the City's
Inspection Department after we had already received the building permit 10/10/03 to build the
home on a lot that we had split 10/8/02. She told us that they had missed collecting the fee when
Pete Elvestad picked up the Building Permit and it needed to be paid. I had asked at that time
what the fee was for and why would we have to pay for the fee if we were also going to be
looking at paying for a new assessment on the Main Street Improvement Project. Just a note to
you, I am partly to blame that we are dealing with this at this time. I should have been on top of
this a few months back when it was brought to our attention. Lee Mann and I tried on several
occasions back in February, March and April to talk to one another but we seem to miss each
other and our voice mails were the only contact we had. At the time it wasn't as high of priority
as it is now.
First, just to understand the fee was hard enough. But to pay a fee that is charge based on a
"Benefit" of hooking up to an existing water and sewer system because we have not paid for the
existing system like other homeowners in the neighborhood have. When at the same time the
City of Farmington is also tearing up the existing street, water and sewer system that we are
suppose to be getting a "Benefit" from and installing new under the Main Street Improvement
Project that we will be assessed for upon completion. We have been told the assessment will be
an estimated $6,000.00.
The reason I mentioned we had only been told is because we have never received any written
notification about the Main Street improvement Project ever. We have owned the property at 101
5th Street since June 2002. Now, we can deal with this because being active in the community we
knew there was going to be an assessment because we knew the Project had been approved by
City Council.
Now when you add this all up we are looking at a total of $9,000.00 to the eity of Farmington.
$3,000.00 for a benefit that we are not getting a benefit from because it is being tom up as we
speak and an additional $6,000.00 in assessments for the Main Street Improvement Project.
Both Pete Elvestad and I have sat down and talked with both Lee Mann and Dave Urbia about
this situation and the fees being charged. Pete Elvestad and I do not agree to pay the $3,000.00
"Benefit Fee" because we do not feel we or the future homeowner of the property is getting a
benefit from the existing system the City is tearing up and replacing. We do agree to pay for the
assessment for the Main Street Improvement because there is a benefit to the property. We
believe this to be fair. We believe that we are being double taxed. The reason why is by being
told by eity Staff that we would have to pay the $3,000.00 "Benefit Fee" and the future
$6,000.00 Assessment.
All we want is for the eity of Farmington to be fair in their fees. You also need to look at when
you establish your fees for the year that not every situation is going to fit your fee schedule. Just
like this one on the property we own at 107 5th Street. Pete and I do know that you will be shown
that other residents that have split a lot have paid these "Benefit Fees" and I do know of one lot
in Farmington that was split that did not pay the "Benefit Fee". It was overlooked prior to the
City doing the final inspection and the property was sold and closed and the eertificate of
Occupancy was issued.
We would like to make a recommendation to you at this time. We would recommend you to
inform people about this fee at the time an individual comes to the City to request a Waiver of
Plat to split a lot. When we asked what the fees were to split the lot, all we were told was the cost
was a $100.00. No one told us about the "Benefit Fee" at that time. We think the individual
should be told at the time they apply for the Waiver of Plat since the City already knows there is
a "Benefit Fee" that will be charged to that individual and the individual coming into the eity
does not.
In closing I want to reiterate to you, the City Council, that all we want is to- be treated fairly in
the fees that the eity charges. If you have any questions prior to the Council Meeting Monday
June 7, 2004 at 7:00 PM, please feel free to give me a call. I look forward to talking to you.

6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Ms. Pam Elvestad, 3200 200th Street W, representing Farmington Lanes, spoke regarding
the sewer project in the Main Street area. The road work began in April between Pine
and Willow Street which is directly in front of their business. The construction project
spans their parking lot, making access difficult and some days impossible. Some of the
problems the customers have encountered include signs reading Road Closed to Thru
Traffic on every road leading to the business. This has discouraged customers. People
have called asking if they are open and how do they get there. Some customers are
parking on Willow Street. There is no walking access. At many times the road is
impassible and deeply rutted. An employee had to have her car repaired due to a part
being torn off. There are no lights. Kids ride their bikes and it is not safe. The vendors
have to park on Willow. If they did not have access through Peerless Plastic's sidewalk,
they would not be able to get in. A lot of the bowlers have large bags that weigh 100 lbs

that they cannot carry. The garbage haulers are also having a hard time accessing the
business. A lot of the older people have said they cannot come back until they can reach
the bowling alley, as they cannot walk that far. The homeowner on the comer of 5th and
Willow has been complaining because people are walking through their lawn because
there is no sidewalk. There is also a hole in the middle ofthe road with orange fencing.
She witnessed someone 4-wheeling in there yesterday with no helmets and twice it
looked like they were going to flip over. They were gone by the time she went to call the
police. It is a real hazard in the dark. On Friday, the sewer was plugged and the floor
drain in the bar would not drain. The hole in the middle of the road was filling with
water for the second time. They have not been provided with a phone number for after
hours. They called the police to alert someone to the problem. It would have been a
huge problem ifthe water had continued to run into the hole all weekend without the
contractor's being there. They feel they have helped the city and the contractor by
notifying them. Since the project started their revenues are down considerably due to
inaccessibility. At the rate things are going they will have a difficult time keeping their
doors open. Wages are exceeding revenues. Management does not want to lose good
employees by cutting hours because there is so little business. A lot ofthe employees are
depending on tips as part of their wages. They have considered closing early or reducing
their hours but are fearful of the ramifications. Each day they are losing more customers.
This encompasses all aspects ofthe business - bowling, a bar, and a restaurant. They
have been in business for 17 years with the same owners and struggled for many of those
years. This is the only bowling alley in Farmington and they want to keep it open for the
community. They feel this project is not going well and feel they deserve better service.
The contractor has been dragging their feet. The construction equipment was moved in
in late April. The road construction was begun in early April and there seems to be no
end in sight. Rain has delayed the project, but it seems like there has been some
negligence by the contractor. They have left the project several times and there was
water rushing into the hole. They should not leave the project without making sure
everything is working properly. They feel they have saved the city a lot of money by
alerting them to the problems. The owners would like to know when they can expect
reasonable walking and driving access. Ifthere is a deadline on the project, why is the
contractor not working on the weekends. The owners would like to know if there is some
compensation on the part of the city or the contractor due to what they feel is poor
management on the part of the contractor. The owners would also like to have addressed
angle parking in front ofthe bowling alley on the east side of 5th Street and no parking on
the west side. This should make up for the loss of parking due to the design of the
entrance to the bowling alley. It would take up less space in the street than the parallel
parking. Kemps has a difficult time with trucks coming in and out with customers
parking on the road.
Mayor Ristow replied Engineering will review the situation and respond in two weeks.
Mayor Ristow stated he was sorry, but construction does take its toll on things and the
city tries to accommodate the businesses.

10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Adopt Resolution- CSAH 70 Redesignation - Engineering
Dakota eounty would like to reassign some eounty State Aid Highway mileage
from eounty Road 70, which is not yet constructed, and transfer the mileage to
eounty Road 50 just west of Cedar Avenue. The eounty will be able to
accumulate more funds with the redesignation on eounty Road 50 than they
would on eounty Road 70. The money can be used for any eounty State Aid
Highway project in Dakota eounty. This has no impact on Farmington's State
Aid money. MOTION by Fitch, second by eordes adopting RESOLUTION
Council Minutes (Regular)

R39-04 approving the revocation of eounty State Aid Status for eounty State Aid
Highway 70 within the eity limits of Farmington. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) April 2004 Financial Report - Finance
The revenues reflect 11.56% of general fund revenues. The majority of revenues
are received in July and December from property taxes. Those numbers are not
reflected at this point. The rest ofthe numbers are a bit lower than 33.33% of the
year complete. The sale ofthe two properties in the Industrial Park are reflected
in the BRA Operating Fund. The enterprise funds are consistent with other years.
In expenditures, a couple departments are over in expenses. The Finance
Department is at 34.6% due to up front costs for the software system purchased in
a lump sum. The insurance premiums are also reflected in a lump sum. Police is
slightly higher. Staff is monitoring overtime and comp time and this will be
discussed at the June 9 budget workshop. GIS is higher due to training for the
year.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
12. NEW BUSINESS
a) Traffic Safety 20ath Street and Akin Road - Council (Supplemental)
There have been 9 crashes at this intersection in the last 18 months. Three of
them could have been prevented with a traffic control device. The criteria for
control warrants are crashes, traffic volumes, and sight distance. The Traffic
Engineer indicated crash experience alone did not warrant the installation of a
traffic control device. The traffic volumes detected during the last traffic analysis
did not meet warrants. However, based on more recent observations he believes
that traffic volumes may now be approaching a level that deserve a closer analysis
and could meet warrants. The past agreement regarding speed has been reviewed
by the eity Attorney and he did not see anything that would not allow a traffic
control at this intersection. Staff presented several options to eounci1:
I. Traffic study
2. Permanent signal light - cost of $ I 40,000 to $150,000
3. Temporary signal lighting - cost of $60,000 to $80,000
4. Personnel directing traffic during peak times. Staff did not recommend
the use of a police officer due to overtime issues.
5. Permanent Stop Signs on Akin Road for north/south bound traffic.
The Traffic Engineer was concerned that homes with driveway access
onto Akin Road may have difficulty getting out, at times traffic is slower
and stop signs would not be necessary.
6. Temporary Stop Signs on Akin Road for north/south bound traffic
The Traffic Engineer did not recommend this option.
Side affects of a traffic control device should continue to be monitored. Mayor
Ristow stated for the safety of the schools this should have been done a long time
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 18, 2004
Page 5
ago. This has been studied several times and all we get is requests for a stop light.
He has been there and watched the traffic. The school does not have anyone
available to direct traffic. It is a city street and the speed should be controlled.
Mrs. Louise Pote, 4325 207th Street W, stated there is also a problem with the
soccer games in the evening. There are 650 kids playing soccer. ears park on
both sides of20Sth Street. There is a 15 minute window between games for cars
to enter and exit. On 20Sth a lot of people are making V-turns. Kids run in and
out between parked cars. It is a safety issue. Parents are concerned about the
crossing on 20Sth at Dallas. When there is not a safety guard there are a lot of
people who drive right through the crosswalk and are not letting the kids cross.
Today a school bus went through the crosswalk and three students had to stop in
the middle of the street to let the bus go through.
Mr. Phillip Pote, 4325 207th Street W, asked about the methodology of the traffic
study and if they are looking at it over a period of time or focusing in on peak
hours of7 a.m. - S:30 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. If they look at the
traffic over a full week it will not look that bad. It is about the peaks and valleys
in traffic on 20Sth. People turn right on Akin and go north ~ mile and make a U-
turn. A car coming north on Akin and turning right onto 20Sth, will hide a vehicle
behind it. ears are going 50 mph at that point.
Mrs. Pote noted in the paper because of budget cuts, the school district may be
extending the distance for kids to be walking. If that happens, traffic will increase
as parents will drop them off. Mr. Pote noted there will be 100 more students at
the middle school next year. Mrs. Pote stated almost every house in the
neighborhood has children, and parents have said they will drive their kids up to
the school rather than have them crossing the street. Mr. Pote stated 20Sth Street
is a drag strip. It is parents racing down to the middle school to drop offkids and
racing back.
Mayor Ristow thought the school was going to have safety patrols on 20Sth at
Dallas. Staffwill check with the school.
Mr. Thomas Yauch, 4346 207th Street W, his daughters exit the subdivision five
mornings a week at 7 a.m. His daughter was almost hit by a car going 60 mph.
People going north and south are traveling at 55-60 mph. He did not want there
to be a fatality for the city to act. The speed on 20Sth not only during school time,
is a freeway. He realized the police have many things to do, but the other night he
noted a police officer giving parking tickets for parking too close to the comer.
The cars also block in the fire hydrants. Traffic is spilling over on 207th because
of soccer games. They park right up to the driveway so you only have a short
window to back out. He disagreed with the studies. If eouncil stays there for a ~
hour at 7 a.m. for five days a week and again from 2:30 - 3:00 and Tuesday and
Thursday nights, they would change their viewpoints. Going north on Akin and

make a U-turn is the only alternative they have. There is a fatality waiting to
happen.
Mayor Ristow stated he realized this has been an ongoing problem. 20Sth Street is
posted at 20 mph when school is on. If it is parents, shame on them.
eouncilmember Fitch noted 7-S months ago eouncil discussed putting in
temporary signs. He is concerned with cars turning right and making a U-turn
down the road. That is making the problem worse. Putting up a stop sign will
make people think this is an easy way to get in and out. People take drivers
training, but still they do not know how to work a 4-way stop. He agreed that
intersection has warranted stop signs for a long time and it is time we do
something about it. MnDOT has rules, but they do not control our community.
He felt this situation warranted a permanent stop sign. eouncilmember Cordes
agreed something needs to be done. The permanent signal lighting is expensive
and should be looked at in the future. She is in favor of putting in permanent stop
signs, but is concerned with stacking between 20Sth and eounty Road 50.
Addressing the parking issues, there is a lot of traffic parking on the street during
soccer games. She did not know if posting no parking signs would help the
situation on 207th. If they cannot park on 20Stli they will go to the next closest
which is 207th. They should be using the parking lot. eouncilmember Soderberl
received an e-mail from the soccer association asking parents to not park on 20St
and use the parking lot, but it has not made an impact. The crosswalk was also a
concern and asked if it was a ticketable offense.
Police Chief Siebenaler replied it is a ticketable offense. He understood the
school was going to put crossing guards out there. Mrs. Pote stated the crossing
guards are only out there for a short period oftime. Councilmember Soderberg
stated it is parents and teachers that are violating the crosswalk. How do we
educate people to obey traffic laws? More enforcement would require a police
officer out there from time to time writing tickets. He would be in favor of
making 20gth Street no parking and have an officer out there on soccer nights
writing tickets. That eats up valuable resources in our police department, but
more officers are needed. He asked ifthe agreement with the State regarding
Akin Road, requires a study to place a stop sign. Attorney Jamnik replied no.
Any action regarding speed limits would require contact with the State.
eouncilmember Soderberg recalled the traffic study did warrant an all-way stop
for two hours in the morning and afternoon, but over 24 hours the warrants were
not met. He would favor an all-way stop and look at more enforcement in the
area.
Mayor Ristow asked if the crosswalk was marked. Police ehief Siebenaler
replied it is as marked as a crosswalk can get. Mayor Ristow stated all we can do
is keep taking steps and felt a stop sign is a good start. He would be open to no
parking on 20Sth Street. Mrs. Pote suggested limiting the no parking to the north
side of 20Sth Street.
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 18,2004
Page 7
Police ehief Siebenaler stated in the past when they have initiated no parking in
areas they have bowed to the wishes of the residents in the area and requested a
petition be filed showing the majority of residents are in favor of it. Staffhas
received denial from the school district. They are not interested in posting the
south side of 20Sth Street as no parking. The most recent petition for the north
side from residents abutting 20Sth failed to get half of the residents. If Council
wants to consider no parking on 20Sth and maintain past practice of honoring the
wishes ofthe residents, he suggested asking for a petition again. He agreed if
20Sth Street is posted as no parking, the issues that will arise are 207th and perhaps
206th being used as alternate parking. There have been extensive discussions with
soccer parents, players, and management regarding options on how to get people
to park in the parking lot with very little success. eouncil has the authority to
order any signage they want on that street, but beware when this was done on the
south side of the high school, you drive people to park further away. On Hickory
Street there are three dozen cars parked and they walk through people's yards to
get to the high school. You will see the same type of thing because it is longer to
walk around the block to get to the soccer fields than through someone's yard.
Police ehief Siebenaler stated he is not telling eouncil they should not do it, he is
saying there will be side affects to any action.
Mayor Ristow stated he appreciated that and he brought out many good points,
but tonight eouncil has one thing and that is stop signs at 20Sth and Akin Road.
He requested staff discuss the no parking and bring it back to the next meeting.
He felt the stop signs are the most critical. eouncilmember eordes agreed. She
also felt if the neighborhood wants no parking that could be discussed in the
future.
Mr. Yauch asked if there was a posted speed limit on 20Sth Street past
Devonshire. Police ehief Siebenaler stated they generally do not post residential
speed limits. It is 30 mph in residential districts.
MOTION by Cordes, second by Fitch, approving option 5, permanent stop signs
on Akin Road for north/south bound traffic. eouncilmember Soderberg stated
normally he would concur with the Traffic Engineer, but this is a situation where
it does warrant traffic control given the fact it is by a school and there have been a
great number of accidents. This is one of those times he will stray away from the
recommendation of the engineer. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
eouncilmember Soderberg asked Police ehief Siebenaler if there was anything he
would recommend with regard to the crosswalk. Police ehief Siebenaler replied
they have made suggestions regarding using lighting. He was under the
impression crossing guards were being used. They can be used effectively.
eouncilmember Soderberg suggested staff review this and come up with some
suggestions. Mayor Ristow suggested using the little green men with the flag in
the middle ofthe road. Police Chief Siebenaler stated they create a perception of
safety that does not exist and he would not recommend them. Mayor Ristow
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 18, 2004
Page 8
stated in New Prague they have them and if you do not stop, you will get a ticket.
Mrs. Pote stated when the crossing guards are out, it does work, but they are not
always there. eity Administrator Urbia stated a meeting has been set up with the
school district and all of these items will be followed through. eouncilmember
Fitch asked when this will be done. Police ehief Siebenaler stated the eity
Engineer did not believe the signs were in stock and they would have to be
ordered.
13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Councilmember Fitch: The MUSA Review eommittee is discussing the phasing of
the land. He thanked Planning eommission ehair Dirk Rotty. He has given good input
into the process and how important this is to decide how the city should look. He has
asked a lot of questions. The results will be very impressive and well thought-out. Staff
has been very accommodating throughout the process.
City Administrator Urbia: The topic for the ehamber's eoffee with the eouncil will
be the Me Vicker Lot. Mayor Ristow and eouncilmember Soderberg will be attending.
Mayor Ristow: He has received a few complaints regarding the parks.
Some parks especially the one on Heritage Way, the one in Westview, and Rambling
River have a lot of dandelions. Also the grass has not been trimmed around the trees.
There have also been noise complaints regarding trucks on Hwy 3. On Hwy 60 by
Waterville, signs are posted that noise will not be tolerated. He wanted staff to research
why some areas can post signs and others cannot. They might not enforce it, but the
signs are there. Police ehief Siebenaler will look into this.

MOTION by Fogarty, second by eordes to approve the agenda. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
City Hall Facility
Mr. eox presented options for the eouncil Room and blending conference rooms with the
eouncil Room. The first option was for 1800 sq. ft. which would have 84-person seating and the
second option was for 2400 sq. ft. which would have 128-person seating. Both options showed
the presenter in the middle or off to the side and showed conference rooms with glass walls to
allow a view into the eouncil Room. Drapes could be used for privacy.
eouncilmember eordes preferred the 128- person seating. Sitting in a smaller room, such as the
conference rooms in option 1, you do not feel part of the meeting.
eouncilmember Soderberg also liked the 128-person seating. He noticed the diagram showed a
7-person eouncil. Mr. Cox stated they were thinking of other eommission meetings. The
adjacent eonference Rooms are 300 sq. ft. and could be used by eouncil to meet with residents.
eouncilmember Fogarty agreed with the 128-person seating. She would like the presenter to be
off to the side to make it more inviting. In the middle, the presenter has their back to the
audience. Regarding the 7-person eouncil table she suggested raising the middle 5 seats and
have the seats on each end lower. The end seats could be used by the eity Administrator and the
eity Attorney.
Mayor Ristow liked the 128-person seating, but he did not like having staff mixed with eouncil
at the eouncil table. As the city grows, the eonference Rooms could be removed to enlarge the
eouncil Room. Mr. eox agreed, however eonference Rooms are needed.
eouncilmember Fitch also liked the 128-person seating. eouncil reached a consensus on the
second option.

eouncil discussed having the video screen behind them and having individual monitors and the
location of TV monitors. Mr. eox stated a decision could be made later in the process.
Mr. eox then showed a diagram ofthe entire eity Hall so eouncil could see how the Council
Room will fit in. Wold has interviewed each department and received their input. The number
of staff required was projected to 2020. The building would be 36,000 sq. ft. which includes a
future space of 1500 sq. ft. and 2500 sq. ft. to lease out. The remainder would be divided up
between departments. eonference Rooms will be in each department which could become office
space. Mayor Ristow suggested from past experience, labeling the lease space as storage.
The site diagram showed a 2-story building with nothing above the eouncil Room. The eouncil
room becomes taller than normal office space. The area provides for 54 stalls of parking on the
west side and 10 stalls on 3rd Street. During the day there are 5 people visiting at one time, so
that was doubled. After that there would be staff parking. There are growth areas with
surrounding lots. The diagram showed a round-about at the intersection of 3rd and Spruce.
Entries to the building are from the east and the west. The design would carry through with the
streetscape idea.
eouncilmember Fogarty thought the round-about was fabulous and it brings great character.
The eouncil Room ceiling height would be 12-14 ft. There would be a walkway through the
building from front to back and a lobby with an open space to the second floor. Departments on
the first floor would be reception, eommunity Development and Engineering. eommunity
Development and Engineering would be next to each other. There would also be storage on the
first floor. They are currently studying the water table to see if a basement would be possible.
The second floor would be Parks and Recreation, Human Resources, Finance and
Administration. There would be ways staff can move from floor to floor without going into
public areas. There would be a service area, like a garage stall to hold equipment.
Mayor Ristow asked if Administration should be on the first floor. eouncil felt Administration
has the least amount of traffic and the eity Administrator could come down to the first floor
conference rooms. eommunity Development has the most traffic.
eouncilmember eordes felt Parks and Recreation should not be on the second floor. The service
area, equipment needs, hauling things in and out, Parks and Recreation does more of that than
Engineering. Any storage for Engineering should be at the Maintenance Facility. Mr. Cox
stated once they showed a diagram of everything they would like to do, you end up with no
parking because everyone is on the first floor. Something has to give. There was considerable
interest in keeping Community Development and Engineering together because of their
interaction. Councilmember Fogarty asked about removing the lease space which could be done.
eouncilmember Soderberg noticed there is a basement under a small portion, ifthere is going to
be a basement, it should be under the whole building and it could be used for parking. Mr. eox
stated that would require ventilation. A basement does cost money. Having the lease space on
the first floor could depend on what it will be used for. Ifused for a liquor store, it should be on
the first floor. Ifused as office space, it could be on the second floor. eouncilmember Fitch
asked about security. Mr. eox stated security suggests a single entry to be used as a check point.
The entry could then be along Spruce Street. eouncilmember Fitch would like to control who
gets back into the departments. eouncilmember eordes stated Rosemount has service windows
Council Workshop Minutes

for the departments. eouncilmember Fitch felt it was fine to have access to the corridors, but not
to the departments. There could also be a security button at the reception desk.
Mr. eox then discussed the budget. He presented costs only for the construction. It does not
reflect the financing and how it affects the taxpayers. That information will be part of the eIP
presentation on June 9. The costs are based on $ 160/sq. ft. for a building similar in nature to the
Police Facility. Total construction cost is $5.7 million. Total project costs are $1.87 million for
a grand total of$7.6 million. To reduce this amount would be the sale of the existing eity Hall.
eouncilmember Fogarty asked about the demolition at 3rd and Spruce and if there was hazardous
waste. There was a small amount of asbestos, but not extensive. Mayor Ristow did not think the
Blaha building could be demolished for $35,000. Wold will firm up that cost. This does not
include any soil clean-up. The budget includes a contingency of $575,000. That should cover
any geotechnical items. Phone systems and cubicles would fall under equipment and furniture.
Transportation Issues
Community Development Director earroll stated staffhad a meeting with Shelly Johnson,
Traffic Engineer to discuss the Thoroughfare Plan. An area east of Akin Road, south of 195th
Street, north of208th Street, and west ofthe railroad tracks contains no transportation routes. As
the MUSA process moves forward, development in this area is being considered to help out with
the completion of 195th Street or 208th Street. That will be complicated ifthe Thoroughfare Plan
does not identify some major north-south and east-west routes in the area. The Traffic Engineer
recommended staff proceed as quickly as possible to update the Thoroughfare Plan in this area.
Staff wanted to advise Council that work is in progress on this.
Some property owners along Akin Road have an easement containing a road on property owned
by Mr. Murphy. The owners are considering splitting up their lots for developing. Staffhas
recommended they proceed cautiously and to wait until the Thoroughfare Plan update is done.
One of the east-west connections might come along those properties. The owners are willing to
wait for awhile. 203rd Street is the only major road between Akin and Pilot Knob to go straight
across. This issue will go the Planning eommission for their comments and to eouncil the 2nd
meeting in June or 1 st meeting in July. Once this area is developed, based on the volumes of
traffic predicted, there could be three connections to Akin Road to handle the traffic. eouncil
agreed 20Sth Street needs to go through. Staff will need to review the railroad crossing.
MOTION by eordes, second by Soderberg to adjourn at 8:42 p.m. APIF, MOTION

Approve Request to Waive Fees for Dew Days
DATE:

INTRODUCTION
Permits would normally be required for events related to the Dew Days eelebration.
DISCUSSION
The Dew Days eommittee and eEEF are requesting that the eity eouncil waive the fees for the
permits required for the annual celebration. eouncil has approved the waiver of the permit fees in past
years.
BUDGET IMPACT
In past years, the total revenue from permit fees for Dew Days would have been less than $1,500.00 if
permits were required. It is anticipated that based on the preliminary schedule for this year's Dew
Days activities, there would be less than $1,200.00 collected if permits were required. The permit fees
for the Dew Days celebration were not budgeted as revenue in the 2004 budget.

RE:
Adopt Ordinance - Rambling River eenter Advisory Board Amendments
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington has an existing ordinance that regulates the Senior Center Advisory Board.
DISCUSSION
The Senior Center building name has been changed to the Rambling River Center. There is a current eity
ordinance that regulates the Senior eenter Advisory Board. However since the facility where senior
citizen's gather to recreate is no longer known as the Senior Center but rather is known as the Rambling
River Center, the current Senior Center Advisory Board members feel that the current ordinance should be
amended to the Rambling River Center Advisory Board (Advisory Board) to reflect the new building name.
In addition the current Advisory Board members would like to amend other language in the ordinance.
Attached to this memo is a copy of the revised ordinance showing the changes that are being recommended
to be made from the existing ordinance. Strikethrough has been used to show where existing language is
being recommended to be deleted and underlining has been used to identify the new language that is being
recommended. For your convenience, a clean copy of the new ordinance that reflects the amendments has
also been included with this memo. The amended ordinance has been reviewed by the Advisory Board and
the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRAC) and both are unanimous in their support for the amendments
and are recommending to the City Council that the amendments be approved.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the attached Rambling River Center Advisory Board Ordinance that amends the existing Senior
Center Advisory Board Ordinance.

INTRODUCTION
The swing set and playground structure in Rambling River Park is currently not accessible to
people with disabilities.
DISCUSSION
When the playground equipment in Rambling River Park was installed several years ago, the
intent was to construct a concrete path with a poured in place rubber surface material to the
swing set and playground structure in order to make them accessible to people with disabilities.
However, this part of the project was never completed. Staff solicited quotes from playground
vendors and Earl F. Andersen from Bloomington, Minnesota submitted the low quote in the
amount of $5,891.65 to complete this work. eompleting this work will bring the playground
equipment into compliance with the Federal Access Board and American's with Disabilities Act
accessibility requirements. Attached with this memo is a drawing of the accessible path to the
playground structure (Exhibit A) and to the swings (Exhibit B).
BUDGET IMPACT
There are funds available in the 2004 Park Improvement Fund budget to cover the cost of
constructing the concrete base and installation of the poured in place rubber surfacing material.
ACTION REQUESTED
No action is requested. This is for informational purposes only.

SUBJECT:
Dakota eounty Drug Task Force
Renewal of Joint Powers Agreement
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The eity of Farmington participates through its police department a member of the Dakota eounty
Drug Task Force. The task force is organized around a Joint Powers Agreement signed by all
participants. That Joint Powers Agreement will expire on June 30, 2004.
DISCUSSION
The eity of Farmington benefits from its participation in Dakota County Drug Task Force in the
investigation of all drug cases in the city. eases initiated by the Farmington Police are turned over to
the task force for follow-up and prosecution. The expense of operating an independent Narcotics
Division within the Farmington Police Department would be prohibitive.
The attached Joint Powers Agreement will be effective for the participants from July 1, 2004 through
December 31, 2004. The limited duration of this agreement is necessitated by the uncertainty of
Federal Grant funding beyond that time. If Federal funding is terminated or reduced the participants
will be in a position to make an informed decision about the future of the Dakota eounty Drug Task
Force. Authorization of a new Joint Powers Agreement will be required before the end of 2004 to
continue membership.
BUDGET IMPACT
Participation is included in the 2004 budget.
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize signature for participation in the Joint Powers Agreement for the Dakota eounty Drug
Task Force for the remainder of 2004.

FORWARD
The basic purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for emergency operations. The plan is
intended to assist key eity Officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency
conditions.
Although an organization may have the foresight to plan for unanticipated situations,
such planning is of little worth if the planning is not reduced to written form. Personnel
with intimate knowledge of unwritten plans may be unavailable at the very time it
becomes necessary to implement them. A written plan will furnish a documentary record
which can be referred to as needed. This documentary record will serve to refresh the
knowledge of key individuals and can be used to inform persons who become
replacements.

The City of Farmington has many capabilities and resources that could be used in
response to any major disaster. These include the facilities, equipment, manpower and
skills of both government and non-government professions and groups in Farmington.
The purpose of this plan is to ensure the effective, coordinated use of these resources so

V. Direction and Control
The direction and control of government operations from a central, protected
facility with adequate communications and key personnel is essential to the conduct of
emergency operations.
The Mayor is responsible for the declaration of an emergency. Once an
emergency has been declared in the eity of Farmington, the Mayor will delegate authority
to the eity of Farmington Emergency Management Director to provide over-all direction
and control ofeity Government resources needed to respond to a disaster. The
Emergency Management Director will coordinate all aspects of this plan. The City
Emergency Management director will also serve as a liaison with the Dakota eounty
Emergency Operations eenter.
Direction and control of the city's response to a major disaster will take place from the
Farmington Emergency Operating eenter (EOe). Under normal circumstances the eity
EOe will be located at 19500 Municipal Drive Farmington, MN 55024
(For additional EOC information such as staffing, communications, etc., refer to
Direction and eontrol Annex to this Plan.)
VI. Emergency Responsibility Assignments
A. A summary of the eity of Farmington emergency responsibility
assignments, by function, is shown on ehart B. Heads of various city
government departments and agencies will be responsible for carrying out
the assignments shown on this chart.

FARMINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RESPONSE
- STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE-
I. Definition
A. Hazardous Material
Any substance or material in a quantity or form that poses an unreasonable
risk to health, safety and property.
B. HJ.R.T. - Hazardous Incident Response Team
II. Task
A. The primary concern of the Farmington Fire Department is to protect lives
and property from fires, explosions or uncontrolled leaks I spills of
hazardous materials (liql!ids, solids or vapors).
B. Fire Department control of incidents shall end when stabilization has been
accomplished. Stabilization means that there is no longer a threat to life or
an imminent hazard to property.
m. Notification
A. Each firefighter has a monitor pager and will be alerted by dispatch.
Dispatch will activate the pager system and announce the type of incident
and location.
B. "First In" units and I or personnel may request special response of
H.I.R.T. at the discretion of the senior firefighter I Officer.
IV. Fire Department Operations
A. "First In" units I personnel must be alerted to the possibility of a hazardous
materials problem, when responding to an incident. The exact nature of
the problem must be determined. In some cases there can be more than
one problem. This data collection phase or "size up" must be made early.
Once the above has been done, the first in units I personnel will notify all
remaining response units ofthe hazardous situation.

TERRORISM
I. Purpose
To develop a comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated response capability
involving all City departments. To effectively assess the threat of a vulnerability to acts of
terrorism within the city, as well as prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from an actual
terrorist incident.
A coordinated domestic preparedness plan should involve two distinct areas:
1. Crisis Management includes measures to identify, acquire, and plan the use of
resources needed to anticipate, prevent and/or resolve a threat or act of terrorism.
2. Consequence Management includes measures to protect public health
and safety, restore essential government services and provide emergency
relief to government, businesses and individuals affected by the terrorism
incident.
II. Hazard
Hazardous agents that may be used in a terrorist incident.
1. Chemical
2. Biological
3. Radiological
4. Nuclear
5. Explosive
III. Situation
1. A Terrorist Incident is defined as: "A violent act, or an act dangerous to
human life, in violation of the criminal laws of the United States, or of any
State, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any
segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."
2. Terrorism may take the form of:
Employment of Weapons of Mass Destruction (CBRNE)
Radiological; legal radiological facilities, - nuclear power plant, hospitals and
other sites.
Hostage situations
Sabotage
1
City of Farmington
Emergency Operations Plan
Annex N
TERRORISM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Federal law dictates that all acts ofterrorism, planned or executed, are
subject to federal jurisdiction.
4. Federal law assigns the primary authority to the Federal Government for
prevention of and response to acts of terrorism; state and local
governments provide assistance as required.
5. The City of Farmington has some high visibility, high vulnerability targets
for terrorists, i.e., government buildings, schools, churches, industrial
facilities, roads, bridges, railroads, and utilities. The City of Farmington
lies outside of the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for the
Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant, but could be affected under certain
weather conditions.
6. Potential target listings will remain within the Farmington Emergency
Management Division and the Farmington Police Department.
IV Assumptions
This plan will go into effect when a terrorist incident has occurred or a credible threat has
been identified.
1. A Unified Command System will be in place to ensure an effective and
safe response to the incident. Unified Command is a method for all
agencies, departments, or individuals who have functional responsibility to
contribute to determining overall objectives for the incident and the
selection of a strategy to accomplish those objectives.
2. No one local, state or federal agency has the authority or expertise to act
unilaterally on issues that arise out of acts ofterrorism, regardless of
weaponry, equipment or experience.
3. Acts of terrorism will almost certainly overwhelm the capabilities of local
government.
4. Local, county, state and federal officials may define overlapping areas of
responsibility requiring inter-agency coordination for the duration of
the incident.
2
City of Farmington
Emergency Operations Plan
Annex N
TERRORISM
5. If adequate protective equipment and devices are not available; responders
cannot be required to risk their lives by entering contaminated areas.
6. Perimeters should be established until involved materials have been identified
or the situation has degraded to levels that are safe for first responders.
V Concept of Operations
1. Direction and Control: Establish a command post and utilize the Unified
Command System to effectively integrate and coordinate response
resources and support from all levels of government as well as outside
organizations.
2. Warning and Notification: Notify the public of the threat, implement and
advise the risk population of the necessary protective actions to be taken.
Activate mutual aid agreements as necessary.
3. Communications: Develop, implement and enforce accessibility policies:
Who will be given access to the damaged I impacted areas?
Are there time restrictions regarding access?
Will escorts be required to enter the area?
What protective gear is required for entry?
What identification will be required?
Coordinate communications with state I federal responders.
4. Law Enforcement: Provide security for the evacuated areas, critical
facilities, resources and the impacted area to protect the crime scene and
facilitate response and recovery efforts.
5. Fire Fighters: Provide support services as required to assure successful
mitigation of the incident. These activities may include fire suppression,
rescue, decontamination and others.
6. Emergency Public Information: Establish a Joint Public Information
Center to coordinate the timely and appropriate release of information
during the incident.
3
City of Farmington
Emergency Operations Plan
Annex N
TERRORISM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Evacuation / Sheltering: Evacuation routes and means of transportation
should be predetermined based upon the area and type of incident.
Implement the necessary traffic control measures that will facilitate
evacuation from the risk area and enhance and supplement site security
measures following the incident. Sheltering in place may be the best
solution, depending upon the circumstances.
Refer to the Congregate Care section of the Resource List for possible
locations within the City.
8. Mass Care: Safe mass care facilities outside of the risk area, which have
sufficient health and medical services, must be predetermined.
9. Coroner: Provide, Establish and implement actions to facilitate victim
identification, recovery, storage and processing.

Authorize advertisement for bids - Rescue Truck - Fire
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The 2004 adopted budget provides for the acquisition of a new Rescue truck to replace
the 1987 Ford LN8000 which the department currently uses.
DISCUSSION
In 1987 when the City purchased its first (and current) rescue truck, great consideration
was given to the future needs of the rescue division and the demands placed on them.
The truck was oversized at the time and included room to grow along with the City.
What was then oversized, is now undersized for the amount of equipment it carries and
the number of calls it responds to in a year's time. Therefore the determination was made
that the current unit should be replaced.
The purchase of specialized public safety equipment poses a particular challenge for
cities. Both state law and good stewardship of the public's tax dollars require careful
drafting of equipment specifications to ensure- a competitive bidding process while
meeting the features and performance requirements of the department using the
equipment.
The rescue squad truck committee has spent many hours evaluating their requirements
and has met with the city attorney and staff to draft specifications that meet their service
needs within established budgetary constraints and the requirements of state law. Based
on these discussions with the committee, staff anticipates that the specifications that have
been prepared will result in at least three or four competitive bids.
BUDGET IMPACT
The 2004 budget includes $300,000 for the purchase of a new rescue truck from the
proceeds of the Equipment certificates issued in March.
ACTION REQUIRED
Authorize advertising for bids for a new rescue truck using the specifications developed
by the Fire department's rescue truck committee.

utilities and request, in writing, City acceptance of the utilities. Failure of the Developer to complete the required testing or
request acceptance of the utilities in a timely manner shall not in any way constitute cause for the warranty period to be
modified from the stipulations set forth above. All trees shall be warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free for
twelve (12) months after the security for the trees is released. Any replacements shall be warranted for twelve (12) months
from the time of planting. The Developer shall post maintenance bonds or other surety acceptable to the City to secure the
warranties. The City shall retain ten percent (10%) of the security posted by the Developer until the bonds or other
acceptable surety are furnished to the City or until the warranty period has been completed, whichever first occurs. The
retainage may be used to pay for warranty work. The City's Engineering Guidelines identify the procedures for final
acceptance of streets and utilities.
10. Gradine: Plan. The plat shall be graded and drainage provided by the Developer in accordance with Plan B.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Developer may start rough grading the lots within the
stockpile and easement areas in conformance with Plan B before the plat is filed if all fees have been paid, a MPCA
Construction Storm Water Permit has been issued, and the City has been furnished the required security. Additional rough
grading may be allowed upon obtaining written authorization from the City Engineer.
If the developer needs to change grading affecting drainage after homeowners are on site, he must notify all property
owners/residents of this work prior to its initiation. This notification cannot take place until the City Engineer has
approved the proposed grading changes. A MPCA Construction Storm Water Permit must be obtained before any grading
can commence on the site.
11. Erosion Control and Fees. After the site is rough graded, but before any utility construction is commenced or building
permits are issued, the erosion control plan, Plan B, shall be implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by
the City. The City may impose additional erosion control requirements if it is determined that the methods implemented
are insufficient to properly control erosion. All areas disturbed by the excavation and back-filling operations shall be re-
seeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. All seeded areas shall be fertilized, mulched and disc
anchored as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. If the
Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan and schedule, or supplementary instructions received from the
City, or in an emergency determined at the sole discretion of the City, the City may take such action as it deems appropriate
to control erosion immediately, without notice to the Developer. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in
advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's and the City's rights or
obligations hereunder. If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any costs of the City incurred for such work within
thirty (30) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay such costs. No development will be allowed and no
building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion control requirements.

certification signed by the design engineer shall be filed with the City Engineer evidencing that the retaining will was
constructed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. All retaining walls that are part of the
development plans, or special conditions referred to in this Contract that are required to be constructed, shall be
constructed and certified before any building permit is issued for a lot on which a retaining wall is required to be built.
All landscaping features, including those constructed within public rights of way, remain the property and
responsibility of the developer and subsequent property owners, subject to the City's or other governmental unit's
rights to access and maintain their rights of way.

public improvements or other development shall be done in any subsequent phase until a final plat for the phase has been
filed in the County Recorder's office and the necessary security has been furnished to the City. The City may refuse to
approve final plats of subsequent phases until public improvements for all prior phases have been satisfactorily completed.

subcontractors, materialmen, employees, agents or third parties. Normal procedure requires that streets needed for access
to approved uses shall be paved with a bituminous surface before building permits may be issued. However, the City
Engineer is authorized to waive this requirement when weather related circumstances prevent completion of street projects
before the end of the construction season. The Developer is responsible for maintaining said streets in a condition that will
assure the access of emergency vehicles at all times when such a waiver is granted.

often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the City and shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at any
time thereafter any other right, power or remedy. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or
amendment to the provisions of this Agreement. To be binding, amendments or waivers shall be in writing, signed by the
parties and approved by written resolution of the City Council. The City's failure to promptly take legal action to enforce
this Agreement shall not be a waiver or release.

that an environmental impact statement is not required. However, if the City or another governmental entity or agency
determines that such a review is needed, the Developer shall prepare it in compliance with legal requirements so issued
from said agency. The Developer shall reimburse the City for all expenses, including staff time and attorney fees that the
City incurs in assisting in the preparation of the review.
G. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Developer represents to the City that the plat complies with all City, County,
Metropolitan, State and Federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to: subdivision ordinances, zoning

demand, the Developer shall cease work until there is compliance.
H. This Agreement shall run with the land and may be recorded against the title to the property. The Developer covenants with
the City, its successors and assigns, that the Developer is well seized in fee title of the property being final platted and/or
has obtained Consents to this Contract, in the form attached hereto, from all parties who have an interest in the property;
that there are no unrecorded interests in the property being final platted; and that the Developer will indemnify and hold the

with the City prior to the City signing the plat.
J. The Developer shall obtain a Wetlands Compliance Certificate from the City.
K. Upon breach of the terms of this Agreement, the City may, without notice to the Developer, draw down the Developer's
cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit as provided in paragraph 26 of this Agreement. The City may draw down this
security in the amount of $500.00 per day that the Developer is in violation. The City, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether the Developer is in violation of the Agreement. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 30 hereof, this
determination may be made without notice to the Developer. It is stipulated that the violation of any term will result in
damages to the City in an amount, which will be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain. It is agreed that the per

East Farmington 8th Addition
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
Mr. Tim Giles, Giles Properties, Inc., has requested the vacation of the existing drainage and utility
easement that currently exists on the northwest comer of Lot 3, Block 5 of the East Farmington 8th

easement on June 7, 2004.

Plat. The drainage and utility easement shown on the attachment needs to be vacated because the storm
water pipe proposed for that location has been relocated to the easements between Lots 2 and 3, Block 5.
The easements between Lot 2 and 3, Block 5 appear as a Consent Item on the June 7, 2004 City Council
Agenda under "Adopt Resolution - Approving Drainage and Utility Easements - East Farmington 8th
Addition."
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt the attached resolution, vacating the existing drainage and utility easement from Lot 3, Block 5,
East Farmington 8th Addition.

Agreement will set forth the exclusive use clause found at Section 33 herein.

doing business thereon for a period of more than thirty (30) days (except for a closing of the premises due to strikes or
damages or destruction by fire or other cause covered by extended risk insurance coverage), the Landlord shall have a
continuing option until Tenant shall reoccupy the Leased Premises and open for business thereon of terminating this Lease
Agreement irrespective of whether the Tenant may not otherwise be in default under the terms and provisions of this Lease
Agreement. Landlord may exercise such option to terminate this Lease Agreement by sending written notice to the Tenant of
its intention, whereupon the Tenant will be permitted thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to remove its personal
property, fixtures and equipment from the Leased Premises in the manner heretofore provided. At the expiration of said thirty
(30) day period, this Lease Agreement will, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have terminated and the Tenant shall

(a) Tenant Default. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other amounts due hereunder within five (5) days after notice of default,
or if Tenant breaches this Lease Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of such
default, or if Tenant suffers this Lease Agreement to be taken under any writ of execution, then Landlord, besides other rights
or remedies it may have, has all of the following rights:
(1) Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement.
(2) Landlord has the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises and
such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of
Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or
becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
6
(3) If Landlord elects to re-enter, or if it takes possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided
for by law, it may without tenninating this Lease Agreement, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary
in order to re-Iet the Leased Premises, and re-Iet said Leased Premises or any part thereof for such tenn (which may
be for a tenn extending beyond the Tenn of this Lease Agreement) and at such rental and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable.
(4) Upon such re-Ietting all rentals received by the Landlord shall be applied first, to the payment of any indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any expenses of such re-Ietting,
including brokerage fees, attorney's fees and of costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due
and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the
same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such re-Ietting during any month are less
than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of Leased Premises by
Landlord is an election on its part to tenninate the Lease Agreement unless a written notice of such intention be given
to Tenant or unless the tennination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such
re-Ietting without tennination Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to tenninate this Lease Agreement.
(5) In addition to any other remedies it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason
of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, and reasonable attorney's fees.
(6) In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, for the recovery of Rent or any other
amount due under the provisions of this Lease Agreement, or because of the breach of any other covenant therein
contained on the part of a party to be kept or perfonned, and a breach shall be established, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord all expenses incurred therefore, including reasonable attorney's fees.
(b) Landlord Default. If the Landlord breaches this Lease Agreement, the Tenant may tenninate the Lease Agreement by
providing the Landlord with thirty (30) days written notice of the Landlord's breach and the Lease Agreement will tenninate at
the end of the thirty day (30) notice period unless the Landlord has cured the breach during the thirty day notice period. If the
default is of a nature to require more than thirty (30) days to remedy, the Lease Agreement will not terminate if Landlord has
undertaken procedures to cure the default during the thirty (30) day notice period and diligently pursues such efforts to
complete the cure.
25. BANKRUPTCY. If the Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease Agreement makes an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy or for
an arrangement or reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, state or federal, now or
hereafter existing ("Bankruptcy Proceeding"), or files an answer admitting insolvency or inability to payor fails to pay its
debts as they become due, or fails to obtain a vacation or stay of any involuntary Bankruptcy Proceeding within forty-five (45)
days after the institution of the same, or is adjudicated a bankrupt or be declared insolvent in any Bankruptcy Proceeding, or
has a custodian, trustee or receiver appointed for or have any court take jurisdiction of its property, or any part thereof, in any
involuntary proceeding for the purpose of reorganization, arrangement, dissolution or liquidation, and such custodian, trustee
or receiver shall not be discharged or such jurisdiction not be relinquished, vacated or stayed within forty-five (45) days, then
in any such event the Landlord may, if it so elects, with or without notice of such election, terminate this Lease Agreement.
26. NOTICES. Any notice required or pennitted under this Lease Agreement is sufficiently given if sent by registered or
certified mail to Tenant at the address of the Leased Premises and to Landlord at the address then fixed for Rent payments.
Either party may be like written notice at any time designate a different address to which notices shall subsequently be sent.
27. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the Tenn and without the execution
of a new lease, it shall be deemed to be occupying said premises as a tenant from month to month, subject to all the conditions,
provisions and obligations of this Lease Agreement in so far as the same can be applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.
28. NON LIABILITY. Landlord is not responsible for its breach of this Lease Agreement for reasons beyond the
Landlord's reasonable control. Landlord is not responsible to Tenant for any consequential, special, indirect or incidental
damages.
29. INVALIDITY OR UNENFORCEABILlTY OF CLAUSES. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of
this Lease Agreement shall have no effect on the validity or unenforceability ofany other provision of this Lease Agreement.
30. RULES AND REGULATIONS. The Landlord may from time to time adopt reasonable rules and regulations
pertaining to the operation of the Shopping Center and Tenant is to abide by such rules and regulations.
31. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. Those provisions of this Lease Agreement including, but not limited to Section 13,
that by their nature must survive the Tenn to protect the interests of the party to which they run, survive the Tenn.
32. GENERAL. This Lease Agreement does not create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, or any
association between Landlord and Tenant, the sole relationship between Landlord and Tenant is that of Landlord and Tenant.
7
The terms, convents and conditions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the successors in interest and assigns of the
parties hereto. No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any omissions by Landlord to take any
action on account of such default, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default expressly waived and
that only for the time and to the extent therein stated. A waiver by Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term or condition. Each provision of this Lease Agreement performable by Tenant shall be
construed to be both a covenant and a condition. No action required or permitted to be taken by or on behalf of Landlord under
the terms of this Lease Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's possession of the
Leased Premises. The submission of this Lease Agreement does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Leased
Premises and this Lease Agreement is effective only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and by Tenant. The
headings of the sections are for convenience only and do not define, limit or construe the contents of such sections. All
preliminary negotiations are merged into and incorporated in this Lease Agreement. The laws of the State of Minnesota shall
govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease Agreement. All Exhibits are incorporated herein and a part
hereof.
33. EXCLUSIVE USE. The Landlord shall not lease any other space in the Shopping Center of which the Leased
Premises is a part to any tenant whose primary business is the sale of intoxicating liquors, whether on-site or off-site.

2003 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The independent audit of the December 31, 2003 financial records was completed on
March 26, 2004. Subsequently, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report has been
completed and the City's auditors, Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. have issued their opinion
on that report. In addition, they have issued a Management Report on the City of
Farmington for year-end 2003. Both documents will be presented.
DISCUSSION
The City's General Fund final audited numbers for 12/31/03 indicate a decrease to the
fund balance of $348,017; bringing the fund balance total to $2,029,492. As noted in the
auditor's management letter, this represents 33.3% of the 2003 annual expenditures of the
City's General Fund with a preferred fund balance target of 35% to 40% of annual
expenditures.
In 2003, actual General Fund revenues were less than budgeted revenues by $20,107 and
actual expenditures were $327,910 more than budgeted, resulting in the decline of the
fund balance by 15%. Further information and graphical representation will be presented
at the meeting.
The 2003 report is the first year of reporting under Government Accounting Standards
Board Statement (GASB) #34, so the financial report looks different in years past. This
difference is not only in formatting but in the actual way the financial information is
compiled and reconciled. The presentation will also address this change.
ACTION REOUIRED
For information only. Matt Mayer from Kern, DeWenter, Viere will be at the meeting
with a presentation and to answer any questions Council may have.

SUBJECT: Dakota County 2005 - 2009 CIP - City Requests
DATE: June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
Dakota County is in the process of preparing their 2005-2009 Capital Improvement Program. (see the
attached letter and schedule) City staff has previously met with the County to discuss potential
projects to include in their draft CIP.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to our meeting with Dakota County staff, the following projects are identified as candidates
for inclusion in the draft County 2005-2009 CIP:
CR 74, Ash Street, RR Tracks to Trunk Highway 3 - 2005
It has been indicated by County staffthat this project will be funded in 2005.
CR 64 (19Sh Street), from Autumn Glen to TH 3 - 2006
CR 64 (195th Street) from Autumn Glen to Trunk Highway 3 has been identified by the City and the
County as an arterial east-west corridor in Farmington and through the County. Based on the timing
of the development of the Seed/Genstar property, the roadway may be needed as early as 2006.
CSAH 31, CSAH 50 to CSAH 74 - 2006?
This project is included based on the development interest and master planning efforts south of
CSAH 50 adjacent to the alignment of the southerly extension of CSAH 31.
CSAH 50, Division Street to TH 3 - 2005 (preliminary engineering)
The preliminary engineering for this project is currently scheduled in 2005. It was indicated to the
County that the construction of the project be scheduled as soon after 2005 as possible, realizing that
the timing is dependent on Turnback funds.
20ath Street
The concept of the County participating in the construction costs of City streets that support or
relieve parallel County Roads has been discussed with the County. The extension of 208th Street to
TH 3 would provide a significant, positive impact on Elm Street (CSAH 50) from a traffic standpoint.
Therefore, it is requested that the County adopt a policy based on this concept and program funding
for the extension of208th street from its current easterly terminus to TH 3.
19Sth Street, Flagstaff to Cedar
The City Council in the past has requested that the extension of 195th Street to Cedar be programmed.
The County is currently commencing a study to determine the alignment of 19Sth Street between
Flagstaff and Cedar.
Traffic Signals along Pilot Knob Road
The County continues to monitor the intersections along Pilot Knob Road and program traffic signals
as warrants are met.
Trails
The City has also received inquiries regarding the addition of a trail along CSAH 31 south of 195th
Street. Currently this section of roadway is two-lane, undivided. It is probably unlikely that the
County would participate in a trail project until such time the road is widened to four lanes.
Another trail project possibility is the addition of a trail along the south side of CSAH 50 between
Akin and CSAH 31 that would be constructed with the development of the area.
BUDGET IMPACT
It is currently the County's policy that the costs of the roadway improvements are split 55% County
and 45% City. City financial participation in the projects identified is yet to be determined but would
likely include a combination of funding mechanisms that would be identified in individual project
feasibility reports.
ACTION REOUESTED
For information and discussion. Projects identified to be forwarded to Dakota County for
consideration for inclusion in their 2005-2008 draft CIP.
Respectfully Submitted,

GREAT RIVE~!.N~~rl
1l Xcel Energy"
May 12, 2004
Great River Energy, Elk River; Dakota Electric Association, Farmington; and Xcel Energy,
Minneapolis, are proposing a high voltage transmission line and associated substation project to
improve system reliability for customers in the Farmington and Lakeville areas. On April 30,
2004, Great River Energy and Xcel Energy submitted a route permit application for the
transmission line and new substation to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB)
pursuant to the alternative permitting process contained in Minn. Rules pts. 4400.2000 to
4400.2950, and Minn. Stat. ~ 116C.51 to 116C.69 (the Minnesota Power Plant Siting Act).
The project involves approximately 9.25 miles of 115 kV transmission line and a new distribution
substation (see map). The proposed 115 kV transmission line will connect the existing Xcel
Energy Air Lake Substation, the proposed new Xcel Energy/Dakota Electric Association
Vermillion River Substation, and the existing Great River Energy/Dakota Electric Association
/Xcel Energy Empire Substation. Approximately one-third of the transmission project will be the
addition of a second circuit to an existing Xcel Energy 69 kV transmission line (using existing
rights-of-way). The remaining two-thirds of the project is a transmission line that will require
acquisition of new rights-of-way. In accordance with Great River Energy and Xcel Energy's
authority under state law, they may, if necessary, exercise the power of eminent domain.
Details of the proposed project are:
. Build the new Xcel Energy/Dakota Electric Association Vermillion River
Substation, which will be owned by Xcel Energy. Dakota Electric Association
will have easement rights in the substation for its distribution facilities.
. Add approximately 2.75 miles of 115 kV line to the existing Xcel Energy
single circuit 69 kV line along County Road 50 from Cedar Avenue (the line is
already 115 kV between Xcel Energy's Air Lake Substation and Cedar
Avenue) to just east of Eaton Avenue, then north into the proposed Vermillion
River Substation. The existing single circuit Xcel Energy line would be
replaced with a double circuit configuration for this 2.75-mile distance. Both
circuits would be designed and insulated to 115 kV, with one circuit operated
at 69 kV. This section of line will be owned by Xcel Energy.
. Build approximately 6.5 miles of new 115 kV transmission line between the
Vermillion River and Empire Substations. This section of line will be owned
by Great River Energy.
The EQB is required to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the project and to make
a permit decision within six months of accepting the route permit application. As part of its
process, the EQB will hold a public meeting about the project within 60 days of acceptance of
the application. This meeting will serve as the scoping meeting for the project, in which the
public will have an opportunity to comment on the scope of the EA, and alternative routes may
be suggested for evaluation. The EQB will hold a public hearing on the application once the EA
has been completed. Because the total mileage of the proposed transmission project is less
than 10 miles, a Certificate of Need from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is not
required.
Some of you attended a public information meeting about the project held by Great River
Energy and Xcel Energy on March 30, 2004 in Farmington. Although the applicants have
applied for the preferred route presented at the meeting, alternative routes suggested at the

SUBJECT:
Review Proposed Revision of 2020 Thoroughfare Plan
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City's Thoroughfare Plan needs to be revised to reflect the locations of future collector roads for
the area between Akin Road and State Highway 3.
DISCUSSION
The City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan includes a Thoroughfare Plan (copy attached) that shows the
locations of existing and future arterials and collectors. This Thoroughfare Plan does not currently
show any arterials or collectors within the area bounded by 195th Street on the north, State Highway 3
on the east, 208th Street on the south, and Akin Road on the west. The owners of several large
parcels within this area are participating in the current MUSA review process (see attached map).
Although the MUSA Review Committee has not yet completed its deliberations or made any formal
recommendations, it is clear that several properties in the area in question are ripe for residential
development. Information regarding the potential location(s) of future collectors within this
development area would be very useful to property owner, developers, City staff, and the members of
the MUSA Review Committee. The Council's formal adoption of a revised Thoroughfare Plan will
also enable the City to require that right-of-way be provided by property owners/developers when
platting begins to occur within this developing area.
The City's transportation consultant was recently asked to (a) review staff projections regarding
potential residential densities (housing units) in the area in question, and (b) prepare estimates
regarding the number of daily vehicle trips that would be generated by these new residences, and (c)
make recommendations regarding the number and location of collector roads that would be required
to safely handle the anticipated traffic volumes. I have attached a copy of the consultant's Memo
dated June 1, 2004 regarding the aforementioned topics, along with a map that depicts his
recommended Thoroughfare Plan amendments. Some of the collector roads shown are located within
Empire Township, primarily because it would be difficult to develop a sensible or "regionally
effective" transportation plan that stopped at the Farmington/Empire Township boundary.
As you will note, the proposed amendments include three east-west connections to Akin Road, and
new north-south connections to the Autumn Glen and Riverside developments. Each connection will
affect some existing property owners, to varying degrees. At this point, it would be premature to
engage in detailed discussions of the legal, engineering, financial or topographic aspects of any
particular intersection or roadway alignment. However, the Council's general comments and input
regarding the traffic consultant's recommendations would be very helpful.
If the Council indicates its general support for the recommended Thoroughfare Plan revisions, staff
will proceed to schedule a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The proposed
amendments will then come back to the City Council for further discussion and formal action.
ACTION REOUESTED
No formal action is required.

Re: Thoroughfare Planning - Area East of Akin Road,
South of 195th Street, North of208th Street
File No. 141-04-000
Pursuant to our review of proposed land uses, which are all residential, a concept
thoroughfare plan for the above-referred area was prepared and discussed/revised with
various City staff. The area in question, due to its size and estimate of daily trips
generated, will require the provision of collector streets to connect to existing collectors
and/or arterials in the vicinity of the site. My previous memo of May 6, 2004, discussed
the assumed land use and daily trip estimates.
The area is in need of two north-south collectors that would be extended through the site
and provide a connection to future 195th Street, a part of which is already built. In the
east-west direction, there should be three collector connections shown to intersect with
Akin Road. These would be at Devonport, 203rd Street, and 198th Street. These three
connections would help to "balance" the traffic load and not place an undue burden on
anyone of the three. The 203rd Street connection is of highest importance as it provides a
direct connection from the area in question to Pilot Knob Road. 203rd is an important
collector in this vicinity. The spacing of these connections along Akin Road is such that
future improved traffic control of these intersections, when warranted, can be
accomplished without adversely affecting traffic along Akin Road. The north-south
connections, as they intersect with 195th Street, will also be spaced in such a manner so as
to allow intersection traffic control that does not negatively affect 195th Street traffic.

Movement to/from the east is hampered by the rail road tracks. Such movement will be
accommodated by the future 208th Street and 195th Street grade separated crossings of the
rail road tracks. It is not expected that at-grade crossings will be allowed.
The proposed thoroughfare plan for this area is necessary to alert prospective
development of the City's plan for this area - a plan that will be provided as development
occurs.

Re: Area East of Akin Road; South of 195th Street ---Trip Estimates
Project No. 141-04-000
An estimate of daily trips has been prepared for the area referenced above. The land use
assumption, prepared by City staff, is residential and the density assumptions are attached
to this memo. A graphic of the area is also attached. The trip generation estimates are as
follows:
Jurisdiction Land Use Units Daily Trips
Farmington SF Residential 556 5,320
Empire Township SF Residential 449 4,295
Townhome 556 3,250
Apartment 234 1.550
Total: 14,415
I have prepared a concept of future collector-type roadways to serve the area. These were
used for the trip assignments and the concept is contained in the large map attached (one
map only). This map can be used for discussion in order to consider all input before a
preferred concept can be developed.

SUBJECT:
Vehicle Noise signs
DATE:
June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
During the Roundtable portion of the May 17, 2004 City Council meeting staff was asked to research
the posting of Vehicle Noise Laws Enforced signs as observed near a small town located on a
Minnesota State Highway.
DISCUSSION
Staff conducted research and learned that two cities in the area currently display signs at the edge of
their jurisdictions reading Vehicle Noise Laws Enforced. The first city, with a population of
approximately 21,000, has signs posted on two Minnesota State Highways passing through its
jurisdiction. The second city, with a population of approximately 1,000 has signs posted on one
Minnesota State Highway passing through its jurisdiction. In both cases the signs are posted well
outside the city limits in advance of posted speed limit signs.
Staff was unable to contact the Police Chief for the smaller city and spoke instead to the City Clerk.
The signs were posted by the city itself without authorization from the State. Staffwas informed that
since the city has only one full time officer there is no enforcement of the signs and further that the
city relies solely on voluntary compliance.
Staff contacted the police department of the larger city and learned that the city's Public Works
Department erected the signs at the entrances to the city without State authorization, in response to
public pressure. Staff was informed that the signs are purely a "Public relations response" and that
no enforcement has ever been conducted. No tickets have been written. The police department did
state that there seems to be at least some voluntary compliance as complaints have diminished.
It should be noted that State highway regulations require that a municipality obtain authorization
from the Department of Transportation for the affected jurisdiction before erecting any signs within
State or County right of way. In addition staffhas been informed that prior to erecting Vehicle Noise
Laws Enforced signs within the right of way for Minnesota State Highway 3, Minnesota State
Highway 50 and Dakota County Road 50 the City would be required to give assurances that the
ordinance would be strictly enforced. Staff does not recommend that signs be posted without
authorization from the affected jurisdictions however, at Council direction, staff is prepared to submit
the request for signage to the State of Minnesota and Dakota County.
Prior to giving direction staff would like to remind Councilmembers of the difficulty of consistently
enforcing this ordinance without a significant commitment of police personnel to the enforcement
activity. Any reduction in noise is more likely be the result of voluntary compliance than
enforcement, as experienced by the two cities mentioned earlier.
ACTION REQUESTED
Provide staff direction regarding the posting of Vehicle Noise Laws Enforced signs.
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel M. Siebenaler
