MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: CAPITAL OUTLAY - SOLID WASTE
DATE: AUGUST 12, 1993
Attached you will find a capital outlay request for ninety-six 90 gallon containers
for residential collection. The low quote was submitted by MacQueen Equipment
in the amount of $6,798.12 ($70.82/container including tax) . The 1993 Budget
has set aside $6,800 for this purchase. The Public Works Department has less
than one dozen left at this time. More containers are needed to provide service
to the houses being built.
It is my recommendation that the Council authorize this purchase.

SUBJECT: CAPITAL OUTLAY REQUEST, PUBLIC WORKS, 90 GALLON CONTAINERS
DATE: AUGUST 16, 1993
I submitted a request for the purchase of 96 - 90 gallon containers for the August 16, 1993 council
meeting. Volume based billing (30-60-90-120 gallon containers) will be required by January 1,
1994, according to state law.
In order to accommodate this requirement, I'm reducing the request to purchase 90 gallon contain-
ers to a total of 50 containers at $3,541.00. The remaining budget ($3,259.00) will be reserved
for future container purchases.

SUBJECT: SURVEY PROPOSAL - SOLID WASTE
DATE: AUGUST 10, 1993
Per Council directive, the City has received a proposal from Decision Resources, Ltd.
to perform a solid waste survey. I have attached the following:
1. July 30, 1993 memo,
2. firm resume' ,
3. proposal.
As you will note, the cost is $4000, but I feel the cost is well worth the investment
in light of such an important decision. You may also note that the proposal includes
a charge of $100 per question for additional topics, if the Council so desires.
On a side note, this is the same firm that did the school survey for the upcoming

Mr. Larry Thompson
City Administrator
City Hall
325 Oak Street
Farmington, Minnesota 55024
Dear Mr. Thompson:
Decision Resources, Ltd. , is pleased to present this survey
research proposal to the City of Farmington. Much of this propo-
sal is based upon my earlier meeting with you and your staff.
This prospectus is organized in three parts: a discussion of the
goals of the research; a potential design and schedule; and,
estimated project costs. As you will see, I am certain that DRL '
can provide the City of Farmington with the information it seeks
in both a cost-effective and timely manner.
GOALS OP THE RESEARCH:
The survey will consider the following solid waste hauling issue
related topics:
1. Usage of current services;
2. Reaction to fees charged for various services;
3. Reaction to privatizing the service.
4. Impact of cost information on residential opinions.
The survey questionnaire could contain a series of items aimed at
exploring each of these topics, as well as any other concerns of
the Council and staff. In addition to providing an excellent
gauge of residential attitudes at the present time, the responses
would also provide a projection on future citizen behavior if any
changes are made:
DESIGN AND SCHEDULE OF THE RESEARCH:
Decision Resources, Ltd. , proposes to conduct a telephone survey
3128 Dean Court • Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416 ,• (612)920-0337 • Fax (612)929-6166
of 400 randomly selected single family homes in Farmington. , A
sample of this size would provide results projectable to the
entire city within ± 5.0 percent in 95 out of 100 cases.
To insure the integrity of the sample, DRL places the most exact-
ing sampling standards in the industry on our procedures. Before
an alternate household is substituted for a designated target,
numerous tries are made to contact the initial household. The
calls take place during various times on weekday evenings and
during the weekend. Our phoners are also instructed to seek
convenient appointments with interviewees, cutting our in-process
refusal rate to less than five percent on average. An unbiased
selection process is also used to identify the adult member of
the household to be interviewed. To validate the completed
sample, the latest census and Metropolitan Council updated popu-
lation characteristics are utilized as a standard of comparison.
The questionnaire would be administered by DRL trained and super
visedCom Company The
p p y is proud of the fact that the
average length of employment of the DRL interviewers is four "
years; the employment stability of our phoners is unique in the
industry and provides our clients with the most sophisticated and
proven interviewers available in the region.
The computer analysis will be obtained from the DRL remote job
entry facility to the University of Minnesota VAX system, insur-
ing both access to the most current statistical analysis programs
and confidentiality of the data set.
The City of Farmington would be presented with two bound copies
of the final report highlighting all the major findings of the
study. DRL will also speak to any major differences from and
similarities with other recently completed suburban residential
attitudes studies undertaken in this area, as well as across the
Metropolitan Area suburbs. A volume of all computer generated
cross tabulations and other multivariate statistical techniques
will also be included to provide the "raw'!-data required for
further secondary analyses. In addition, the findings will be
presented by me at a meeting or work session specified by the ,
City.
The components of the project and the proposed time schedule is
outlined below:
1. Planning meetings with Council, Staff, and/or relevant citi-
zens committees, to establish the topics to be covered in the
survey. Based on these topic concepts, DRL would word specific,
neutral questions. This activity to be completed within one week
of the initiation of the contract.
2. Obtaining specific information about the charges for solid
waste hauling in other communities, so that specific and meaning-
ful comparisons can be made. This activity to be completed
within one week to ten days after the initial meeting.
2
•
3. Structuring of questions and final approval of the survey
instrument. These activities to be completed within two weeks of
the initiation of the contract.
4. Final determination of the field dates for interviewing.
5. Pre-testing and, if needed, approval of resulting revisions.
This activity to be completed by the second day of field work.
6. Completion of all fieldwork within a two week period.
7. Computer analysis and preparation of written report. All
analytical analysis and commentary will be available within THREE
WEEKS after completion of the field work.
8. Meeting with the City Council, Staff and/or citizen commit-
tees in either a work session or formal presentation to explain
and discuss the results of the study. The final discussion and
strategy session can be arranged at a time convenient for the
City Council members and/or staff after delivery of the report.
On-going telephone consultation about any part of the study,
analysis, or implications is also included.
PROJECT COSTS:
A thirty question, 400 single family household random sample of
the City of Farmington would cost $4, 000.00. Each additional
question unit beyond the initial thirty would be $100.00. In
view of the explanatory materials prefacing most questions, our
costs reflect the greater average time required to complete the
questionnaire.
Included in this cost are two bound copies of the written analy-
sis, one volume of crosstabs and related statistical tests, an
executive summary of the highlights . of the study, and a formal
presentation of the results.
As company policy, DRL requires one-half of the cost prior to the
commencement of field work; the remainder is due upon delivery of
the final written report. Unless otherwise arranged, DRL invoic-
es clients at the time of the approval of the survey instrument.
I hope this proposal sufficiently covers all the information you
require. If you have any further questions, please feel free to
contact either Diane Traxler, my partner, or me.
Sincerely,

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: SEWER REPAIRS - 5TH STREET FROM WALNUT TO LOCUST
DATE: AUGUST 12, 1993
During recent televising of this segment of sanitary sewer during high ground
water levels, it was noted that this area was contributing significant clear
water infiltration into the sewer as outlined in my attached memo dated July 16th.
I have reviewed and received quotes for various methods of rehabilitating this
segment as follows:
1. Replacement by Open Trench (based on Walnut Stret Bid) 44,153.50
2. Install Polyethylene Liner (Visu Sewer) 17,662.00
3. Install Resin Hardened Liner (Insituform) * 26,493.00
4. Test and Seal all Joints in 1 Block Segment (Visu Sewer) 3978 - 5519 (est.)
Range is for 50% to 100% of joints.
5. Point Repair with Link Pipe and Seal MH @ 5th and Locust 1,500.00
(Visu Sewer)
6. Northern Water Works
a. Seal MH @ 5th and Locust 675.00
b. Furnish & Install 2 Link Pipe Repairs 2,710.00.
c. Install 3" Concrete Liner @ 5th and Locust 1,725.00
The first 3 methods are considered permanent in nature; the last three are the
most cost effective however there is always the possibility of other failures
in the future.
The Council indicated that the complete replacement as outlined in the Walnut
Street Project may be needed eventually, probably within 3 to 7 years.
It is my recommendation to do the following at this time:
1. Test and Seal all Joints - Estimated to cost $4,000 to $5,500.
2. Point Repair with Link Pipe/Seal Manhole at 5th and Locust - $1,500.
Total Estimated Project Cost - $5500 to $7000
There is no funding for this project in the 1993 Budget. The City has the
potential to receive benefits from avoided I/I costs. It is my recommendation
that the Council authorize this work. The sewer fund balance will be impacted
by this rehab work.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: INFLOW/INFILTRATION AT 5TH AND WALNUT STREET
DATE: JULY 16, 1993
The purpose of this memo is to inform the City Council of an Inflow/Infiltration source that has been identified on
5th Street,south of Walnut Street. Recent inspections of the sanitary sewer system in the vicinity of 5th and Walnut
indicates that excessive Inflow/Infiltration is entering the sanitary sewer system on 5th Street between Locust and
Walnut Streets. There are three known service connections to the main on this block(two houses and the old middle
school). The actual location of the source will be pinpointed by televising this segment on Friday,July 16, 1993.
An update of these findings will be presented at the Council meeting on Monday.
It is estimated that the Inflow/Infiltration source may be contributing approximately 200 gpm of clear water into
the sanitary sewer. This is a significant Inflow/Infiltration source that must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Assuming this flow has been occurring since the spring thaw on March 15, 1993,this source may have contributed
35 million gallons of Inflow/Infiltration(potential treatment costs of$70,000). Similar imports would have
occurred in 1992 and possibly in 1986.
It is anticipated that his work can be done in conjunction with the Walnut Street improvements.

SUBJECT: Farmington Fire Dept . Cataract Relief
Association Pension Request for 1994
DATE; 29 Jul 93
On 26 Jul 93, the Farmington Fire Depatment Cataract Relief Associa—
tion met to discuss a pension increase for itis members. After
much discussion, a motion was passed to request a pension increase
from $1400. per year of service per member, to $1450. per year
of service, effective 1 Jan 94 .
The tax levy incurred with this increase would be $30,567 . 00,
half of which would be picked up by the townships.
The $50. increase would bring us a step closer to our goal of
$1500. 00 per year,per Council agreement in 1990.
Representatives from the Cataract will be present at the Council
meeting to discuss this subject and answer any questio&.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND STANDARDS
DATE: AUGUST 10, 1993
As you will recall, the Council has considered an Architectural Design and Standards
Ordinance on a number of occasions. The most recent discussion focused on garages
and accessory buildings. After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed to refer the
matter to the Planning Commission for its recommendation. Charlie Tooker has informed
me that the Planning Commission would like more clear direction from the Council
before it discusses the matter.
Again, as I recall, one of the major concerns was the size and number of accessory
buildings. Councilmember Galler has written a memo outlining a proposal he could
support.
In order to move this issue off dead center, I would recommend that the Council
consider Councilmember Galler's proposal and, if it is found acceptable along with
the rest of the ordinance, set a public hearing. If the Council wishes to refer
the matter back to the Planning Commission it should do so with more specific in-
structions and an understanding that the Council will give the Planning Commission's
recommendations a great deal of weight in order to break the deadlock. The Council
may wish to have joint meeting with the Planning Commission on this topic.
This issue has been back and forth between the Council, staff, Planning Commission
for a number of years and it is felt that it should be brought to a vote in order
to bring closure to the subject.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
DATE: MAY 10, 1993
SUBJECT: HOUSING CODE - ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
During discussions on the adoption of a Housing Guidelines Ordinance at our
May 3, 1993 meeting, I voiced concerns over the appropriateness of the 1
accessory building limitation. I can concur with reservations to the philosophy
that a city lot, especially one of limited size, should have some aesthetic
standards. I strongly disagree with comparing a 1, 2, or 5 acre home site with a
6,000 or 10,000 square foot lot. Not because one is better than other, but
because the aesthetic argument of what is appropriate for one site does not
accurately describe the situation of another.
If this section is to be retained, it should reflect more accurately the lifestyle and
open space that exists on larger than platted properties. Restrictions should be
based on an even and consistent basis such as structure size per lot size, or an
allowable accessory building per 10,000 square feet, or 15,000 square feet
segments. I could even support an ordinance that went by a per acre basis, but
a carte blanche for all residential sites seems quite extreme an unwarranted.
It may be beneficial to direct this item back to the Planning Commission for
additional consideration.
Thank You for your consideration.
Sincerely,
CA*s/. ,, Gam►

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND MATERIALS
DATE: APRIL 29, 1993
Most of the negative commentary from people involved with development to the proposed
ordinance focused upon architectural design. One detailed letter from a well
respected land use attorney working for Sienna Corporation objected to that section
because it had its own appeals process. Otherwise, he suggested only minor wording
changes. However, because there has been general agreement that Section 1, as
originally drafted, will be difficult to administer, the Development Committee
decided to eliminate all but the reference to building elevations which are usually
included with development plans. The current proposal is, therefore, the same
as the original minus the "controversial" Section 1.
