Trees: Mr. Porter explained that as mentioned at the previous meeting, the City would obtain a much better deal if they ordered trees in conjunction with Mr. Goetz of Goetz Landscape & Irrigation. Mr. Goetz is waiting on Mr. Porter to submit a tree selection so he can place the order. The committee elected at this oint to table the goals and "re-visit" at the September P g P o meeting. Each member will update the committee on the status of their goals from beginning to date, along with the status of their respective budgets. Trail Maps to City Engineer Ms. Lien explained the Mr. Schluender (City Engineer) had dropped offa copy of the proposed trail map requested by the Parks and Recreation Committee.

Purchase of Sanitation Units Tabled Eagle Park Sanitation Unit Mr. Peterson (Public Works) explained that he had contacted On -Site Sanitation regarding the length of the hose used to maintain the satellite. He was informed that the hose used is 15 feet in length. There is a 30 -foot extension, but there isn't any suction with the 30 -foot extension. Therefore, the hose will not be able to reach the suggested areas. In addition, the trail that was installed at Eagle Park doesn't have any type of undercore, such as class five. No trucks can drive on the trail, or there will be permanent damage. The satellite has to stay where it is currently located. Mr. Okan requested a wall or barrier be constructed behind the unit for odor purposes. 3 Mr. Porter will contact Mr. Palzer regarding the current contract with On -Site Sanitation and about constructing a walllbarrier behind the unit, and report back to the committee at the September meeting. NEW BUSINESS Letter from Eagle Pass Townhome Association Ms. Lien explained a letter and photos that had been submitted by the Eagle Pass Townhome Association addressing their concerns within the development. The main concern involving the Parks and Recreation Committee is the "sport pad" and the condition of the turf (weeds) at Eagle Park. Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Ms. DeVine to recommend to City Council that no further development occur in the Eagle Pass Townhome Development until Eagle Park is complete with stump removal, tennis court and trail brought up to standard specifications. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Porter would like to be included in any meetings (if any) with the Eagle Pass Townhome Association. Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve — Pedestrian / Bicycle Trail Ms. Lien explained a letter received from John VonDelinde, Anoka County Parks Director, requesting compensation for fencing and landscaping adjacent and just west of the trail on the water utility property. Two (2) homeowners have expressed concerns about trail users trespassing on their property. Anoka County is requesting the City of Centerville share in 50% of the costs. 1 he total cost is $7581.93, which means Centerville's portion would be $3790.97. This would come out of Parks and Recreations' budget. Mr. LeBlanc questioned if these properties are located on Lino Lakes property. If so, Lino Lakes should be the ones to "share" the costs. The committee elected to pass this on to the City of Lino Lakes. Motion by Ms. DeVine, seconded by Mr. Porter to recommend to City Council that the City of Lino Lakes absorb the request for 50% of the costs to construct a fence and landscaping barricade for Lino Lakes residents. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS Raw Sewage Spill Mr. LeBlanc requested discussion over the issue of the raw sewage that spilled into Clearwater Creek. Mr. LeBlanc explained that the se age r o i which acts as a catch basin, and from there, eventually into rftL4a a own to all of the lakes down the chain. Mr. LeBlanc shared that this has happened eight (8) times in 4 ("Li e itt rj P the last 15 years, and feels there should be some type of notification to the Cit and cresideats; and some type of accountability. Mr. LeBlanc requested this be brought before the City Council. Selection of Park and Recreation Members Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Ms. DeVine to recommend to City Council the appointment of Tedd Peterson and Brian Walter to the two (2) vacancies on the Parks and Recreation Committee. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Lien is to notify the candidates of the status of the appointments. Motion by Ms. DeVine, seconded by Mr. LeBlanc to adjourn the August 7, 2000 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Jill Lien Staff liaison 5 MEMO Date: August 31, 2000 To: Chairperson Porter Park and Recreation Committee From: Jill Lien Re: Goals At the August meeting, the committee elected to "re- visit" each members individual goals and remaining budgets.

The purpose of this plan is to coordinate the participating organizations to a conunon goal. Please contact Centerville or Wayne LeBlanc to coordinate actions. Considerations for particular .II .m", areas are identified with the = large letters and they * approximate priority (urgency) 35Wak faker. , t 35E order. 20 - Area A: Hugo to 35E a - . Here is a great opportunity to ,- $ . -_ connect the existing Hardwood z, Peltier ` ' Creek Regional Trail (running from Hugo north) to the Anoka County Chain of Lakes trails - and the rest of the Metro through the Rice Creek Trail s q ,. North (by Area G). With ' ® a!' Hugo's planned reconstruction e o. - A of the road from Area A to D ,p;i .. "' Hugo this year, the inclusion of f .� A ` , '..,;�h.G the trail follows naturally. The Ten ,. a urgency here is to include the ':' VILLE trail in the forthcoming 1 �r4 reconstruction. • 1 ® V Area B: Pedestrian Friendly M • w " > Bridge and Walks s ,r; .,� 351 Area B is currently undeveloped S s � 'x ..� � - `e• commercial. It's a great place sn � 3 � ,�•o a L t � �� 5 ■ for a pedestrian and bicycle 4 Vi friendly bridge over the freeway c_ 5 '6400 MR i separate from the existing car tip "" freeway interchange. It's also a , � great place to establish a $_ pedestrian and bicycle friendly �� commercial area that would go it' 55110 with the trail. There is an 55038 "`" y " rt 0 0 ,`. abundance of pedestrians in the � o«M ° , ' nearby townhouses. I believe a I Dairy Queen may be built in the Figure 1. Trail Plan. . i v_- ( \ 1 I area. Also consider using lighting that shines down and reduces light pollution (See the sample light picture in Figl, above B. Don't use globes or lanterns for example.) The urgency here is to control development now so a pedestrian and bicycle friendly area is created. Developers would get something unique and everyone would benefit. Area C: Main Street The Minnesota Design Team in a report to Centerville suggested Main Street be an urban conduit from a downtown Centerville village by the lake to a commercial section by the freeway in area B. There are already plenty of people and bicycles on the shoulders of Main Street in the summer demonstrating that analysis is correct. The north side of Main Street is the best place for a trail as there is vacant property, a strip mall, and a convenience store on that side of the street. The one house that is close to the street may be torn down and a business put there, so as it develops into a more commercial street, construction for sections of the trail are possible. The urgency here is that the strip mall will be required toput in a walkway soon and this sidewalk should be consistent with a long -term plan for the trail along all of Main Street. Area D: "Sunset Park" Overlooking Centerville Lake The Minnesota Design Team saw this area as the "Town Square" of Centerville. A park and pier on Centerville Lake could coexist with a circular trail around Centerville Lake. The sketch in Figure 2 shows the intersection. The trail continuing around Centerville Lake also fits with the Anoka County Park plan. The ur• enc here is to ac. uire .rose when it comes u. for sale. 0 ...; ,,,,_: 74 tr FE“,_____:E ; ,,.... i ..... c :::: Heci-r-free I-1 ' .I , fs . 2� '14.: fi x:, y 5 .. - � rrY Ccrrcizz. 1&44 , W 10 ' % (eatery''} e _ _ _ -_ -- Figure 2.

See Figure 3. Area G: Trail Connections Area G shows the Anoka Chain of Lakes ∎ t ti trail connecting to Lino Lakes to the west , I and eventually connecting to other trails in 3 the Metro, notably the Rice Creek Trail 4'. Y #. ' North. See Figure 4. Area H and I: Lamotte Park The largest park in Centerville is Lamotte Park located in Area H. Plans are already Figure 3. Area E, F, and G. Anoka Park Trail Plan underway to connect Lamotte Park to the Anoka County Chain of Lakes trails from H to G. To complete the Centerville Lake loop, a trail is needed from H to D. At Area I, the St Paul Water Utility has property that may come up for sale in a couple years. This area, being right across the street from Lamotte Park would make a great lakeshore park and pier, possibly jointly owned by Centerville and Lino Lakes. Area J: Centerville Trail South A current easement through Area J is perfect for a trail to be constructed as the land to the south of it is developed. Centerville will be developing a trail through area J as land is developed. This trail would provide a route to Lamotte Park and beyond in addition to providing a circular trail through central Centerville (Areas J, M, C, and H). Area K: Water Utility Easement Trail to Future Lino Lakes Recreational Park Area K has a St Paul Water Utility easement that could provide a trail between Lamotte Park and a possible future Lino Lakes Recreational area at Area L. Just north of Birch Street (between L and K), it might be possible to use currently undeveloped land, or if necessary, continue K all the way straight south 3 t ,--1.5 to Birch Street, then • , s 1 _ , turn east to Centerville / a- Road.

Area N: Clearwater Creek Greenwav Corridor A beautiful trail corridor where the land is not yet developed is Area N from Centerville along Clearwater Creek to Bald Eagle Lake. Apparently there are already some proposals, one may be called the Greenway Corridor. This connection would also provide a continuous trail from Hugo through Centerville and Lino Lakes south to Bald Eagle Lake and the White Bear Lake area. Currently, the trail in Hugo is blocked to the south because the railroad bed is still in use. The urgency here is to establish Clearwater Creek from Centerville to Bald Eagle Lake as a Greenway Corridor with a trail. As development occurs, it will eventually all fit together. Summary As a follow on to the Minnesota Design Team visit in Centerville, a "Trails, Parks, and Lakes" committee formed and considered numerous alternatives. The plan described is the result of a year's worth of citizen discussions and participation. The plan fits well with the existing plans of surrounding communities and governmental units. (In Figure 1, the green dots along the roads show the Anoka County plan for trails — it closely matches this plan.) It may not all happen at once, but by establishing a common vision, the entire goal can be reached by staging the development. Contact the City of Centerville, 651- 429 -3232 or Wayne LeBlanc, 651- 426 -0168 for further details. 4 L MEMO Date: August 31, 2000 To: Chairperson Porter Park and Recreation Committee From: Jill Lien Re: BMX Track Ms. DeVine, Mr. Porter and Mr. LeBlanc will update the committee on the tour of the Pineview Park BMX Track, which they toured on August 9, 2000.

Also, is a copy of Council Member Nelson's request for a response from Mr. Porter - as the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee. At the City Council meeting on August 2r, the Council elected to have Public Works move the Eagle Park sanitation unit five (5) feet out from where it is currently located. The Council felt the City should at least comply, or set, some type of standard setback for sanitation units - which they have concluded to be five (5) feet. The City Council would like the Parks and Recreation Committee to establish standards for satellites within the City (ie. placement, setbacks, cement base, securing bolts, enclosures, landscape, etc.) and present a recommendation to them. The Parks and Recreation Committee requested a copy of the current contract with On -Site Sanitation. I have requested this from Ms. Bender, but have found out that the City doesn't have a contract.

Since then we have asked that this facility be moved to a more suitable location. l have called Mr. Palzer with the City of Centerville, attended 2 Park & Recreation Committee Meetings and even applied for one of the open positions on this committee. Unfortunately, the only answer we have been given was that the vendors might be able to get a different color. Why am 1 contacting you? We are wondering if you would be of assistance in getting this facility properly placed. The current location although somewhat secluded on the park side, offers no barrier on our side. This creates a number of issues for us (as residents). First it is an eyesore. No matter where you are in our house when you look to the back yard you cannot help but see this thing. It also rp4uces our property value. Second, it smells. The smell gets strong enough on most days that it renders that portion of our yard unusable. Third, its a danger to us. These structures are strong, but there is always a chance at leakage, that the structure could be vandalized or tipped over. When this occurs the resulting seepage will flow into our yard. This Committees answer to the above is that there is a tree on our property blocking the facility (in fact it is a mature tree where only portions of the trunk block it), the structure is cleaned weekly (what about the other 6 days), and if the structure gets tipped over then the city will agree to putting a cement structure in place and bolting the facility down (action will only take place after the damage is done). For our part we do not wish to be labelled uncooperative citizens. When we first attended the Committee meetings we met with some understandable hnc iliy Upon checking the meeting minutes for the previous month we (noticed that some residents were quite upset with a similar situation in ; Acorn Park. However we have always remained politein our ae gs with —" the Park and Rec. Committee. We have presented numerous other locations that are much better suited to a facility such as this. The Park and Rec. Committee however cited that if the porta potty were located in these areas it would not be able to be maintained. I am attaching a copy of the drawing I presented to the Park and Rec Committee, with 2 exceptions. I have marked areas 3 and 4. When the Park and Rec Committee told us that the facility couldn't be maintained because of a 10 foot hose restriction. 1 have called 2 companies that rent portable toilets. The service the City currently uses (On Site; 612.429.3781) has a 10 foot hose restriction, another service (Biffs; 657.403.1227) has a 15 foot restriction. Both areas 3 and 4 would easily be maintainable under either of these restrictions. No matter what the sire, we are also asking that the city build the necessary accoutrements to a structure such as this to Cement base Wooden barrier enclosing the structure Securing bolts to hold the porta potty in place If the city did all of the above 1 am sure all of the neighboring residents would not feel like they are being infringed upon. My family and 1 have spent hundreds of dollars in tree trimming costs to remove branches from a tree on city property that had branches perilously hanging over the play area. We spent time removing old barbed wire from the park. And now this. All in 1 years time. The cities response so far has been somewhat cold. Sadly, even when I tried to volunteer my time on the Park and Rec Committee it was difficult for members of the Committee to look beyond this issue. Then on Friday, August 11 1 received a letter from Jill Lien at the City of Centerville office stating that the City encourages its residents to actively participate in city government affairs. From all that has happened during the past few months our perception is very different. , If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your time.

Evidently attended a couple Park & Rec Committee Meetings. As you probably know he is concerned about (1) His property value due to the "eyesore" (2) The odor (3) Danger to his family due to possible leakage, vandalism being tipped over. 1 spoke with Karla DeVine who indicated the committee is working on the situation. I will send you a copy of my reply to Keith. I would appreciate hearing from you as the chair of Park and Rec. Thanks for your help.

When speaking in the Carlson School of Management one has to be cognizant of the echo! A couple of comments. Both of the new sites (3 and 4) are within 10 feet of a main road, not the path. With regards to the other points brought up by Ms. DeVine, the Committee was mulling over the issue of putting up a fence in July, but dropped the issue in early August. We were repeatedly told that the city would only cement and secure the satellite if it were tipped over by vandals. This comes directly from the city council liaison, sorry but 1 don't recall his name. The current location is not suitable to putting up a fence because of surrounding trees the satellite installation. The most appropriate site is no. 3. It is within the maintenance parameters, it would be easily accessible, can be screened properly would not be intrusive by site or smell to any of the neighboringresidents— Another issue that we haven't really touched upon is the point of putting this right up to our property line. If I were to build such a structure right against my neighbors property line I would guess that I would be in violation of some city ruling. Again, we feel the current location is a short-term solution to a long -term problem. I am not angry about the committee selection, I just question that in this day and age there are a number of factors competing for our time and energy .... _., . _. _ . uemeaning process to volunteer. Seems to me this process diminishes the spirit of volunteering, nurtures a feeling of contempt and in the end turns away those that could contribute the most to the cities endeavors Thanks again for following up on this issue we greatly appreciate your assistance.

The Council had concerns that the proposed screening only benefits a couple of residents from Lino Lakes and has no benefit to Centerville residents. Furthermore, the Council felt that the proposed screening is excessive and too expensive. The Council voted to deny cost sharing with this proposal. If you are able to identify acceptable alternatives, please let me know. As we have previously discussed, the City has 7 to 8' evergreen trees that were once part of the Centerville Tree Farm that could be donated and planted as a screen in this location.

Thank you! Mr. LeBlanc took the opportunity to distribute a copy of Anoka County's Trail Specifications. Discussion entailed related to width of trails, and the following motion tvas made: Motion by Mr. LeBlanc, seconded by Mr. Porter to recommend to City Council to adopt /add Anoka County's Trail Standard Specifications with a 10' standard width. After further discussion, the motion was amended as follows: Motion by Mr. LeBlanc, seconded by Mr. Porter to recommend to City Council to adopt/add Anoka County's Trail Standard Specifications with a varying width, subject to Parks and Recreation's approval, per individual development. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. LeBlanc will be contacting Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, for the City of Lino Lakes to find out the status of the "Sport Complex" and report back at the September meeting. Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve — Pedestrian / Bicycle Trail Ms. Lien explained a letter received from John VonDelinde, Anoka County Parks Director, requesting compensation for fencing and landscaping adjacent and just west of the trail on the water utility property. Two (2) homeowners have expressed concerns about trail users trespassing on their property. Anoka County is requesting the City of Centerville share in 50% of the costs. The total cost is $7581.93, which means Centerville's portion would be $3790.97. This would come out of Parks and Recreations' budget. Mr. LeBlanc questioned if these properties are located on Lino Lakes property. If so, Lino Lakes should be the ones to "share" the costs. The committee elected to pass this on to the City of Lino Lakes. Motion by Ms. DeVine, seconded by Mr. Porter to recommend to City Council that the City of Lino Lakes absorb the request for 50% of the costs to construct a fence and landscaping barricade for Lino Lakes residents. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Letter from Eagle Pass Townhome Association Ms. Lien explained a letter and photos that had been submitted by the Eagle Pass Townhome Association addressing their concerns within the development. The main concem involving the Parks and Recreation Committee is the "sport pad" and the condition of the turf (weeds) at Eagle Park. Wayne LeBlanc 1677 Peltier Lake Drive ♦ Centerville, MN 55038 651 -426 -0168 (home) 651- 635 -6519 (work) August 8, 2000 City of Centerville I am wondering if there are any actions the City of Centerville can take as a result of the 33,000 gallon raw sewage spill on Clearwater Creek just upstream of Centerville on June 17 and 18. I explained this incident at the Park and Recreation meeting of Aug 7, and Mr. Sweeny suggested the information be presented to the City Councii on Wednesday. I wiii be in St Cloud looking at a BivII track with Park and Rec, but Mr. Sweeny can introduce this information; then, perhaps at this meeting and subsequent meetings, actions might be considered. Please see the Summary and Conclusion below. Summary The July Hugonian newspaper reported two raw sewage spills into Clearwater Creek at the intersection of Cedar and Elmcrest Avenues (upstream, just east of 35E). One was 30,000 gallons on June 17 and the other was 2,000 to 3,000 gallons on June 18. Apparently, 10,000 gallons of raw sewage escaped downstream leaving its mark through Centerville and in Peltier Lake. The Hugoian reported, "since its construction in 1977, this section of the sewer line has broken at least 8 times." Here are questions I think worthy of answers: 1. What were the dates and quantities of the other spills? 2. With 8 sequential failures in the same section of pipe, prevention seems to have been far too low a priority. Will it remain low priority? Can anyone give some assurance that anticipation of such problems will now get high priority? Are there other sections of this or other sewage pipe leaking or about to burst? Has this been investigated, or is the intent to just wait till failures occur? 3. Notification seems non - existent. At the very least, the City of Centerville, the Peltier Lake Association, the Rice Creek Watershed District, the City of Lino Lakes, and the City of Hugo should have been notified the day of the spills. Will that be done in the future? 4. Measurement of consequences seems non - existent. (The only measure mentioned was that fecal coliform bacteria in water samples taken at the site were at background levels on June 22. I would expect such readings where a flow of water from the creek washes away the contamination. But what about the sewage that went downstream? Peltier Lake will act as a basin and hold the sewage, I would expect. Is anyone measuring the consequences of this spill? Are waters downstream safe for normal activities: Can children play in Clearwater Creek? Is it safe to consume fish from Peltier Lake? Is swimming safe in Peltier Lake? How long does it take for a contamination of 10,000 gallons of raw sewage to cleanse itself given the slow turnover rate of Peltier Lake water? Shouldn't measurements be taken to answer these questions? 5. Are there any action oriented procedures that might help Clearwater Creek and Peltier Lake speed decontamination? 6. Is there any legal recourse on this situation? Should the MPCA be involved? Other Comments Imagine, if you will, a diligent homeowner on Peltier Lake monitoring their septic system for small leaks to protect the lake. Suddenly, the innocent stream next door dumps 10,000 gallons of raw sewage into the lake. Wow! About a thousand years of small leaks just went by in a couple hours! I can hardly believe this has happened. In 1988, I formed the Peltier Lake Association. This organization sparked the $90,000 Cleanwater Partnership Feasibility Study in 1990 and has worked to improve the water quality of Peltier Lake, Centerville Lake and the watershed. Much has been done, but I am now astounded that this watershed has had such a setback. Note that I have been collecting and submitting water samples (roughly every 2 weeks) from Peltier Lake for many years. Tests on these samples normally only measure phosphorus and chlorophyll. However, on July 19, July 23, and August 8, I collected additional samples and asked the Rice Creek Watershed District if they might test the water for bacteria. At this time, I don't know if they will be able to do so. Shortly after the spill, I noticed a fishkill that seemed limited to bullheads and a few carp. Usually there are other kinds of fish in fishkills. Could this be related to the spill? Did the sewage go to the bottom where the bullheads are and kill them? On July 27, I collected one and froze it. I would also like to see if there is any correlation to observed poor water quality in the past and the 8 or more other raw sewage spills, whenever they were. I enclose copies of the July Hugonian Sewage Spill article and a letter to the editor from the August Hugonian (from me). Conclusion I am interested in the City Council's reaction. I would be happy to write or follow through on the questions suggested if the Council wishes. I suggest the City of Centerville has more visibility pursuing the questions than I do alone, the Lake Association alone, or the City Park and Rec Committee alone.

They announced that they had received 101 well water samples sent to them from around the County during their water testing promotion. Sixteen samples were received from the City of Centerville. Ten well water samples of the total 101 samples were contaminated with coliform bacteria. One well exceeded the sate nitrate level for drinking water. They did not indicate if any of the contaminated wells were within the City of Centerville. They did provide information to properly disinfect a contaminated well to those that had problems. * APT will be replacing their antennas on the watertower with new antennas. The new antennas will be in the same locations as the existing antennas, but the new receivers will be slightly smaller and lighter. The current lease allows them to change antennas at their own expense. * Curb and gutter was installed in phase II of Center Villa this week. * Centerville has a new location for public works. The City successfully closed on the Eagle Trucking location on Tuesday morning. We will be making the complete move to the new building within the next couple weeks. * Sewer and water is being extended south from Parkview Addition to Hunter's Crossing this week. There have been some easement issues and right of way obstructions to complicate the project, but the work is proceeding at a rapid pace. The dry weather has been great for the construction projects. * The City Hall /Fire Hall and former Eagle Trucking building were inspected by a loss control specialist from Berkeley Risk Administrators this week. The buildings passed inspections. * I spoke to Greg Owens from the County Bank yesterday. They have hired a local person to be the branch manager for the facility. 1 will not disclose the name, because they are issuing a press release on the subject. They plan to have the mobile banking facility on location by mid - September. Greg also mentioned that the bank could possibly finance the 8/18/00 rasa, c - U.1. r' entrance monument with a 0% loan. The loan could possibly be paid back over time with funds from charitable gambling proceeds or a local fundraiser. I expressed a desire to construct the monument sign in conjunction with the new building, utilizing as many of the bank subcontractors as possible. Greg indicated that he has already instructed the electricians to include in their building bid the cost for extending electrical for the new monument entrance sign. The bank is willing to pay for the electrical installation costs. I also asked if their architect Mike Kraft could use Terry Sweeney's concept sketch to create some actual specifications for the sign. Greg said that he has passed the information on to their architect and instructed him to assist with the project. The bank will be a great asset to our City and will be a welcome addition to our business community. • Congratulations to the Dorn's with their new addition to the family! Centerville's population continues to grow. • I spoke to Mike Quigley from Gor -em Development yesterday. He indicated that they would like to plat the two outlots in Eagle Pass as soon as possible. They would like to present a sketch plan to P +Z in September. Mr. Quigley indicated that he would have the streets swept and weeds mowed down in the outlots immediately. He also expressed a willingness to expand the undeveloped sport court into a full sized tennis court. I suggest this be discussed at the next park and recreation meeting. • St. Genevieve's Chicken Dinner is this weekend. Parking issues have been addressed as fully as possible. Hope to see you there. • Have a great weekend! 8/18/00 Jim March From: Jim March hmarch @gotdengate.neti Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 2:59 PM To: Wayne LeBlanc; Theresa Brenner; Tom Peterson; Tim Rehbine; Ray Devine; Michelle Moser; Lori Dorn; John McLean; Jim Hoeft; Hanna Tilsen; Brian Hanson; Patricia Scott; Elizabeth Scheller; Doug Porter; Dave Kilian; Mary Capra; Aimee Fairbrother; Mari Nelson; Linda Broussard Vickers; Dick Travis Subject: Week in Review Week in Review August 25, 2000 Building Permits this Period = 4 Building Permits YTD = 124 New Homes Year to Date = 33 * Soil borings were taken this week at the future site of the County Bank. * Filings open next week Tuesday for the Mayor's position and two Council vacancies.

The club will have an Open House at the September 14th meeting at Chauncey Barett Gardens. Three new member candidates have already filed to join the club. If you know someone that would be interested in being a member of the Lion's, please let me know. We intend to revitalize the club and undertake some important community improvement projects at the parks this next year. The Lion's Club has also discussed holding the second annual Community -Wide Bonfire in conjunction with the Haunted House in October. * From my observation, it appeared the St. Genevieve's Annual Chicken Dinner was a huge success. It was the first time that my family was able to attend the event and we had a great time and a great meal. * The owner of the Lake Area Utilities building has paid the required fees to connect his building to muncipal sewer and water. * Safety clean has completed their work to chemically wash the inside of the shop at Eagle Trucking. The interior sheet metal is now bright and white instead of sooty black. It looks great.

All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. III. PUBLIC HEARING (S) Salazar — Potentially Dangerous Dog (Dakota) 1 Ms. Salazar addressed the Council and noted she did not feel her dog was a potentially dangerous dog. She indicated Dakota has had his shots since the time of the incident and that he was still a puppy at the time, being only eight months old. Ms. Salazar added that she would be constructing a fence to the rear of her back yard for the protection and safety of children in the neighborhood. Council Member Nelson asked where the fence would be placed. Ms. Salazar stated she lives on a corner lot. She noted all sides of the rear lot would be fenced with a six - foot cedar fence. Council Member Nelson asked about the dog's obedience school. Ms. Salazar stated Dakota graduated an eight -week obedience school program and will be going on through additional training. She indicated Dakota was a German Shepherd, Barry Brainard, Captain of Revoir Street Neighborhood Watch, noted he was present with the police report and the definition of a potentially dangerous dog. Mr. Brainard read through the potentially dangerous dog ordinance under State Statutes. He indicated the police report of May 25, 2000, stated the definition of Dakota qualifies as a potentially dangerous dog because he was pursuing the children in the area. Mr. Brainard stated that he does not feel these dogs need to be disposed of, but indicated the children in the area need to be protected. He stated the neighbors are looking for an enclosure of the yard to protect the nearby children. Mr. Brainard explained neighbors in the area are willing to assist in placing a fence around the back yard. Mr. Salazar stated he understands there are a great number of children in the area and asks that the children respect his pet as well. He indicated the need for a fence and stated he had no problem placing this in his backyard for the protection of neighboring children and his animals. Council Member Nelson asked if Mr. or Ms. Salazar felt these animals were pJt.UL141.1y UULLF' ♦.SJ. •aWLµt JLatl.0 J11L 11-iL 11L.1L11L.1 Ul L11L.

Mr. Salazar indicated that he feels his neighbors are alienating him because he has not heard of any of these concerns from the neighbors first hand, but instead, have heard from the police. He indicated his pets are no longer left in a temporary kennel for great lengths of time. Mr. Salazar noted the dogs are only let out one at a time to relieve themselves and then are brought back into the home. Mayor Wilharber asked if Dakota has been neutered. Ms. Salazar noted he had not been and stated he would be neutered as soon as the vet allows. Chief Heckman reviewed the State Statute in regards to potentially dangerous. He stated that Council needs to address this issue due to the fact that the animals may become a liability to the City if they harm residents and/or pedestrians. Council Member Nelson questioned the police report from May 25, 2000, and asked the officer to explain if the pet was quarantined for 10 days. Ms. Salazar stated Dakota was quarantined for 10 days at her home where he was observed at all times. 2 Officer Parks explained he received a call on June 18, 2000, that the dogs were swimming in a nearby pond. He indicated he whistled at the dogs and both came running towards him and that he did not feel threatened. Officer Parks stated he made his way to the front door as the dogs walked closely together to the front door. He indicated this was a sign of the "pack" mentality in dogs of this breed. Officer Parks stated the dogs were friendly to him while he was in the home but noted the temporary fencing for the pets was poorly constructed, as the wiring was bent and had holes. He indicated the dogs did leave the home while he was there and approached a jogger. Officer Parks noted Ms. Salazar called the dogs and stated both came running back to the home. Ms. Salazar noted her dogs have completed obedience training and should not be viewed as a potentially dangerous. Chief Heckman stated this may be the case, but Council still has the final determination as to how the animal is treated for the safety of the public. Mayor Wilharber asked if the City were to declare both dogs (Nakita and Dakota) were potentially dangerous, would they retain this designation their entire lives. Mr. Hoeft stated this was the case. Mayor Wilharber asked if the City was not to declare both dogs (Nakita and Dakota) potentially dangerous, would the City be liable for future incidents. Mr. Hoeft stated if the behavior of the animals is found to be potentially dangerous and the Council disregards the incidents the City would be liable. Council needs to take into consideration public safety. Council Member Nelson questions whether a decisions needed to be made at this time or subsequent to the public hearing. Mr. Hoeft stated Council would not make a decision until after the public hearing was closed. Ray DeVine, 1837 Revoir, noted the owners have taken good care of the animals since the incident. He stated both parties have a valid concern and stated he felt this would be a difficult decision for the Council to make. Council Member Nelson asked if Dakota's shots were up to date. Ms. Salazar stated they were. Mr. March asked if the neighbors would feel comfortable with the six -foot fence or if this would still be unacceptable. Mr. Brainard stated he felt both dogs were potentially dangerous due to the fact they travel in a "pack ". He added he felt a six -foot fence may not be enough to contain the animals as German Shepherd's could jump a six -foot fence if provoked. Mr. DeVine stated he would also be in favor of the six -foot fence for the safety of the children in the area. 3 Council Member Nelson asked Mr. Brainard if he would be comfortable with a kennel in the backyard that met City specifications. Mr. Brainard noted he would be comfortable with this. Mayor Wilharber asked why the fencing has not been completed. Ms. Salazar stated this was due to financing and the fact contractors have not returned their telephone calls for estimates. Molly Nelson, 1864 Revoir Street, noted the child that got bit came to her house following the incident. She indicated the Salazar's have taken excellent care of the animals since the incident. She explained she felt the six -foot fence would be adequate for the protection of the children in the neighborhood. Mayor Wilharber asked when the fence would be completed. Mr. Salazar stated he is hoping to have this completed by the end of the month along with a sprinkler system and sod. Officer Parks indicated if the dogs are diggers, they might dig their way under the fence. He indicated he does not want the neighborhood to have a false sense of security if a fence is put up. Officer Parks stated the obedience training might assist in dealing with the dogs in the home but not while outside of the home. Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Sweeney to close the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV. APPEARANCES /AWARDS 2001 Fete des Lacs Celebration — Ray DeVine Ray DeVine reviewed that a telephone poll was conducted and found that the carnival was important for the year 2001 Fete des Lacs Celebration. He stated the committee members felt the carnival was a huge success and noted that if the canival's continued appearance was council's intention, arrangements needed to be made as soon as possible. Mr. DeVine reported that the current Fete des Lacs Celebration dates conflict with neighboring celebrations and carnival promoters schedules and wanted to ascertain if Council would consider modifying the dates of the Celebration. Mr. DeVine stated the committee formed for the year 2000 Celebration was set for one year informally. He indicated the structure would be more formal for the year 2001 Celebration. Mr. DeVine invited all residents interested in attending the next committee meeting on August 17, 2000, to wrap up the year 2000 ties and begin working on the Celebration plans for 2001. Mayor Wilharber questioned the weekend the celebration would be proposed to move to. Mr. DeVine indicated he was uncertain of the dates, and stated it would be determined greatly by the carnival dates available. Council Member Nelson questioned why a decision was needed so soon for next year. Mr. DeVine noted the carnival operators are booked for next year already and stated if 4 the committee began working now, they would have the option to move the Celebration to another weekend allowing booking of a carnival. Council Member Sweeney stated he would not be in favor of moving the City Celebration to the 4 of July because many people are out of town. Mr. March noted if the Council was in favor of allowing the Celebration to change, it would allow the Committee to contact and book a carnival with greater flexibility. Mr. DeVine noted he would appreciate this flexibility for the Celebration to keep the community involved. Council Member Nelson stated she would be in favor of this flexibility in changing the date and indicated the last weekend in June would be fine. Council Member Travis concurred and stated the celebration was a success this year with the carnival. Mayor Wilharber stated he felt the Committee should be able to arrange the date as long as it does not conflict with neighboring cities. He indicated he felt the carnival was a "draw" and noted he would like to have the Celebration continue to grow. Mayor Wilharber thanked all the volunteers that contributed to the Celebration. He noted the Celebration was a "great success ". v CONemER A TrnN OF MINUTES July 26, 2000, Council Meeting Minutes Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Sweeney to approve the July 26, 2000, Council meeting minutes as amended on page seven, paragraph eight changing the City of Circle Pines to the City of Lexington and on page eight removing "Council Member Sweeney seconded the motion" within the first motion.

PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS Wayne LeBlanc Letter Mayor Wilharber reviewed a letter from Mr. LeBlanc as to the disappearance of the Grey Heron from the area. 5 Mayor Wilharber noted an additional letter was sent regarding the June 17 -18, 2000 • sewage spill in Hugo. He indicated he felt this should be reviewed by the City Engineer and brought back to the Council. Council Member Sweeney explained the Parks and Recreation Commission was disturbed about finding this information second -hand in a local newspaper and not from the City of Hugo. He indicated 10,000 gallons of raw sewage was drained into Peltier Lake that was not contained. Council Member Sweeney stated there was no notification and no clean -up on their behalf. Mayor Wilharber asked if the City of Centerville has an order of clean -up if this were to occur. Paul Palzer indicated he felt the majority of this spill was contained and cleaned up by the City of Hugo. Mr. March stated he contacted several people at Met Council and the Watershed District to gather information on this spill. He indicated the State Duty Officer must be contacted for all spills over five (5) gallons. Mr. March stated the State Duty Officer was aware of the spill and that nine (9) out of ten (10) were inspected. He noted the Met Council has been fined if clean -ups are not completed or if notification was not adequately made. Mayor Wilharber indicated he was concerned for the situation and noted the City of Hugo should be responsible for contacting neighboring communities. Council Member Sweeney and Council Member Nelson concurred. Council Member Sweeney questioned if Met Council could be held accountable for contacting the neighboring communities involved with the implications of the spill. Mr. March stated he would be speaking with a State Duty Officer about this issue in further detail to see if contamination was made into the creek. He explained if contamination wag found, leoiclatinn would need to rh ange the mandate of ratlg made to the neighboring communities. Council Member Nelson asked that a report be made to the Council at their next meeting. Eagle Pass Townhome Association Mayor Wilharber noted the street sweeping within the Eagle Pass Development was still a concern. He stated the Homeowner's Association was not happy with the construction debris in the area. Mr. March stated the storm grates have been cleaned and a hole has been patched in the street within the development. He stated the Developer is now interested in platting the outlots and he indicated the Developer has been notified of the concerns from the Homeowner's Association. He indicated this development has not filled out as soon as the developer thought. Council Member Sweeney noted the subdivision does not have silt fencing which creates part of the problem for the street cleaning. Mr. March concurred and noted all 6 new subdivisions were provided with silt fences. He suggested several options for quicker, cleaner drainage for future developments for the Council to discuss. Mr. March stated a curb cut option could also be discussed for the City of Centerville to allow for smoother lines from the street to the driveway. Mr. March asked if the Council would be in favor of considering this grinding option. Mr. Peterson noted the surmountable curb could be improved with the stand up curb with the mud run off. Council Member Travis stated he was in favor of this, but noted the grinder used for the driveways could be a problem not always providing a smooth cut. Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether a Developer could be stopped or not used for future developments if City specifications were not being met. Mr. March noted time lines are going to be set from now on and stated he could not stop them from developing. He indicated Developers would be held to City Code. Mr. March noted the City was responsible for cleaning the catch basins within developments and noted the Public Works Department would need to keep up with this in the future. Council Member Sweeney noted the Parkview Trail placement within the development and stated that it was placed without base as recommended by the City. Mr. Palzer stated the Parkview Trail was damaged by an unidentified vehicle, but it does have a six -inch base with two inches of asphalt. He noted this was acceptable to City Trail Standards. Council Member Sweeney indicated he would like to have a City Wide Specification made for all new trails. Council Member Nelson concurred and asked that the City Engineer draft language for setting these specifications. Mr. Palzer indicated the City does have specifications at this time and noted these specifications have been used for Hunter's Crossing. Mayor Wilharber asked that the City Engineer review this issue and report back to the Council at the next meeting. VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Hunter's Crossing Ditch — Tabled July 26, 2000 Mayor Wilharber asked for a review of this issue. Mr. Hoeft noted he had not heard from the Title Company, but noted Mr. March received a letter on August 8, 2000, regarding the quick claim deeds for Hunter's Crossing. He stated he would contact the Title Company and report back to the Council at their next meeting. Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member Nelson to table the Hunter's Crossing Ditch discussion to the August 23, 2000 meeting. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Salazar Potentially Dangerous Dog Council Member Sweeney stated he has grown up with dogs for his entire life and noted he felt the dogs' actions were the actions of a large puppy. He indicated he does not want to punish the owners of these dogs because they have made great efforts to improve the situation. Council Member Sweeney stated he felt the six -foot fence would be adequate and should deter the Council from declaring the dog or dogs as being potentially dangerous. Council Member Nelson noted she felt Dakota was potentially dangerous and stated he was not immunized for rabies until eight months old. She indicated the dog was not recorded with the City of Centerville and that the temporary fence they have was not constructed properly to contain the animals. Council Member Nelson felt some action needed to be taken by Council to make sure the owners are held accountable for the animals and the protection of neighboring residents. She stated an electrical fence may be a good option at the top and bottom of the wooden fence. Council Member Travis concurred with Council Member Nelson stating that the owners need to be held accountable and responsible for their animals behavior. He indicated he would hate to see the dogs get out and hurt or scare someone in the neighborhood. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she was concerned with the lack of responsibility of the owners getting the animals vaccinated late and not licensed with the City. She stated she was also concerned with the animals getting out twice. Council Member Broussard Vickers noted the dogs are located on a busy corner with many children who may not respect and understand the animals. She noted she had no prooiem wain ueciaring are clogs potentially uangerous. Council Member Broussard Vickers noted she would like to see the owners be responsible for an enclosed kennel, muzzle the dogs while being walked, and increased public liability insurance. She indicated the six -foot fence would be at the option of the homeowners at this time. Council Member Broussard Vickers stated some of the actions of the animals could be puppy playfulness, however, the owners need to be held accountable. Mayor Wilharber indicated all dogs have an extremely unique personality. He stated the owners have not been actively seeking a fence until recently. Mayor Wilharber noted he was in favor of the proper enclosed kennel as described in the Ordinance but suggested the size be increased to allow for both animals to be placed within the kennel. Mayor Wilharber explained he felt the Council had to do something and do it now. He felt it was the responsibility of the Council to protect the neighboring properties and their residents. Council Member Nelson questioned if both dogs could be declared potentially dangerous or if only Dakota could be. Mr. Hoeft noted the dog owners did not understand what they were getting into with two German Shepherd house dogs. He 8 indicated the Police handled the matter with the utmost care and stated both dogs could be declared potentially dangerous dogs. Mr. Hoeft stated this determination could be made at this time or tabled to allow the property owners time to meet the Ordinance specifications. Mr. Hoeft indicated because there was a dog bite, there should be some concern on the Council's part. Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned if the animals were not declared potentially dangerous, if the City could enforce the Ordinance mandates. Mr. Hoeft indicated the City would not be able to enforce the mandates until they were declared potentially dangerous. Council Member Sweeney questioned if there was a timeframe as to when the animals could be declared potentially dangerous. Mr. Hoeft stated this determination should be done quickly to get the owner's in compliance and to keep control over the animals. Council Member Nelson indicated she felt the evidence shows both animals are potentially dangerous. Council Member Broussard Vickers concurred and stated she would like to see the animals muzzled when walked. She added that she felt the pet owners have not made changes to the kenneling situation since May 25, 2000. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member Travis to declare both dogs (Nakita and Dakota) potentially dangerous dogs and that the owners comply with Ordinance 24.18 Subdivision 1 items A, B, and D with 32 square feet of kennel space per animal. Council Member Sweeney asked that the proclamation and solution be separated into to separate motions. He indicated he felt the Council does not know the entire situation behind the handling of the animals. Mayor Wilharber stated 73 days have passed since the tirst incident without any changes made to improve the kenneling situation. He added he felt the animals should each have 32 square feet of kennel per animal. Council Member Broussard Vickers concurred to the amendment and Council Member Travis accepted the friendly amendment. Council Member Nelson noted she felt the owners should be held to these mandates within 14 days after the date of notice is sent to the owner. Mr. Hoeft indicated this should be taken a step at a time and that the City would pass along the notice to the owners. He stated if compliance was not made, it would be forwarded come back to the Council for future discussion and action. All in favor. Motion carried 3 -2. (Council Members Nelson and Sweeney opposed). 9 IX. NEW BUSINESS Centennial Lakes Police Department Recommended Budget Mayor Wilharber asked Chief Heckman to address the Council on all changes to the budget. Chief Heckman indicated the revisions were made at the Police Commission level in response to the Council's suggestions at their last meeting. Council Member Sweeney asked if the grants declined by the Police Commission needed to be matched by the department. Chief Heckman stated the grants are supplied 100% for the first year the officer is retained and then declines gradually over several years. He indicated this would keep the officers on staff and maintained with the assistance of the Federal Government but did not have to be matched by the Police Commission. Chief Heckman explained there is grant funding available to assist in funding an additional officer until 2002. He stated the Police Commission felt it was not in their best interest, at this time, because this officer would need to be maintained after 2002. Chief Heckman indicated, at this time, this funding is uncertain after 2002 as to the projections. Council Member Sweeney questioned the Capital Improvement portion of the budget and asked if $15,000 would be sufficient. Chief Heckman stated the $15,000 would not be sufficient but would hopefully be approved. He indicated the originally amount was $50,000 but the lesser amount would be a start of the commitment in the right direction. Council Member Nelson questioned if the Centerville substation would be paid by the neighboring cities. Chief Heckman stated the City of Lexington paid for their substation in its entirety and stated this funding would be needed at one point in time either from the City of Centerville or through the budget. He indicated this was a guestimate for the improvements needed. Chief Heckman noted that after the substation was completed the Police Commission may need to consider rent expenses for the substation, as the City of Circle Pines charges the Police Commission rent. Council Member Nelson asked how the Police Department made money on the sale of vehicles and equipment. Chief Heckman stated that after leased vehicles are paid off they are sold to local cab companies or interested parties. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the Police Commission agreed upon the formula for expenses. Chief Heckman stated the formula was agreed upon but noted Circle Pines and Lexington may need to reach a future agreement to maintain future services for future budgets. Mr. March responded to the rent for the Police Department and indicated he would not recommend the Council charge this to a facility funded by the City. He encouraged the Police Commission to place funds aside to solve the funding formula and future budget situations. 10 Chief Heckman noted this has been taken into consideration but stated this is something taken on over time. He stated a future centralized police department would be needed as well. Chief Heckman indicated this may be put on the ballot to gain funding for a central department. Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Sweeney to approve the Centennial Lakes Police Department Recommend Budget. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. At this time Mayor Wilharber read a letter from the City of Centerville thanking the Police Department for their efforts at the Fete des Lacs Celebration.

Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned if the City of Centerville's trail connection was in the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Lino Lakes. Mr. March stated he was uncertain of this but stated he was unaware of the connection. Council Member Sweeney noted the City of Lino Lakes was asking the City of Centerville to pay 50% of the fencing and landscaping for the residents in Lino Lakes that abut this trail. He recommended that this item be denied as discussed and recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mr. March noted he has been involved with the discussions with Lino Lakes before this trail was completed. He indicated at no time did the City agree to fund 50% of this proposed screening and/or fencing. Mr. March stated the City of Lino Lakes should be responsible for funding the screening.

He noted long- range, capital items would need to be discussed as well.

He indicated this would give the City a positive placement for funding in the year 2001. Mr. March indicated the Trio Inn had an alleged liquor sale to a minor. Mr. Hoeft concurred that there was a case against an employee of the Trio Inn. He explained the Police Department handled this case properly but that the individual was found not guilty. He noted the judge stated the jury did not want to make a difficult decision. Mr. Hoeft stated the Council could make a civil case against the Trio Inn at this time if they felt it was necessary. He noted the BCA could be brought into this to have a sample tested to receive a determination that would be backed in a court of law. Mr. Hoeft indicated the employee at the Trio Inn would now be carding individuals after the scrutiny this employee endured. Mr. Hoeft noted all future violations would be handled and tested by the BCA to ensure foolproof cases.

Ms. Scheller asked Mr. Steffel and Mr. Savageau how EDC could help them with their business. It was suggested by one of the committee members that EDC could put a little history about the new and current businesses in the Le Journal. Ms. Capra stated that businesses could advertise in the church bulletin.

Ms. Scheller stated that we are still in the planning stages of the downtown revitalization and are open for suggestions.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Design Team — "Ideas in Action" Historical Markers — Ms. Capra brought in a picture of a historical marker located at a church in Michigan, and discussed how it was going to be paid for; a fund raiser was suggested.

Winter Activity Mr. Rehbine commented that Mr. Montain was going to try to contact other downtown business owners. Ms. Scheller and Mr. Rehbine felt that this item should be taken care of by the businesses themselves. Ms. Scheller will contact the Wargo Nature Center to obtain a winter activities guide.
