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 referendum. gl°414 Y1"7624.1. — Larry Thompson City Administrator cc: Department Heads file MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: SOLID WASTE SURVEY DATE: JULY 30, 1993 Per Council directive, staff has requested a proposal from Decision Resources LTD to perform a survey of City Solid Waste services. The survey would be broken into two parts: 1. Comparison of City vs Private rates 2. Opinion survey of residents and businesses It was hoped that the proposal would be presented at this meeting, but unfortunately, it has not been received at this time. It is anticipated it will be placed on the August 16, 1993 agenda. Therefore,this item can be pulled. 4‘9"7414- Larry Thompson City Administrator cc:file Tom Kaldunski Wayne Henneke Russ Matthys AMEM 1 n ecisio Q Resources Ltd. August 3, 1993 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, /4?,(J.J frtcrC UP William. D. Morris, Ph.D. President 3 4 Decision Resources Ltd.

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.

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. �x%17 p �c.��l� ` J � Thomas J. aldunski,P.E.

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.

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. 1(74, rh4.7:1777-.

GALLER 5275 One Hundred Ninetieth Street, Farmington,Minnesota 55024 Residence 463-8477, Office 452-6611, Facsimile 452-2911 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► Christopher Geller Farmington City Council 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. (et44,..
