2006 EC Corres and emailsMayor Linda Loomis City of Golden Valley 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, MN 55427 Dear Mayor Loomis 3901 Poplar Drive Golden Valley, MN 55422 January 16, 2006 I am resigning my position on the Environmental Commission because I no longer have the kind of long term commitment that I think Golden Valley deserves. I decided some time ago that I would be leaving the Environmental Commission after my current term because I will be retiring from full time employment in two years and then moving to Texas. I was ambivalent about seeking my current term, but I wanted to continue to be involved in the initiative for citizen participation in city projects on public land. That initiative got off the ground last fall with our first Buckthorn Bust. As I prepared for our Envision discussion at our December meeting, it became clear to me that I am not as willing as I have been to champion a project. Since that is the case, I feel someone else should take my place on the commission. This is a good time for me to make a break because we have identified issues for 2006 but have not started working on them yet. I learned a great deal during my six years on the Environmental Commission and am proud of what we have accomplished. I am optimistic that the Environmental Commission will be able to make even greater contributions to Golden Valley in the future. Sincerely, v Alan Kuentz Page 1 of 1 Pharr, Tracy F-om: The Baker/Anderson Family [anderbake@comcast.net] .t: Saturday, January 14, 2006 4:05 PM To: Pharr, Tracy Cc: Oliver, Jeff; Lundstrom, Al; Loomis, Linda Subject: Candidate for Environmental Commission Hi, Tracy, In case the EC vacancy hasn't been filled yet, could you please pass this on to the Mayor on Monday or Tuesday? I mentioned this person to her recently. Siah St. Clair is a Golden Valley resident who is the Director of the Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley. He called me back to say that he is interested in serving on the EC. I've asked him to fill out an online application, so either way, he'll be in line for consideration. Thanks. Also, have you heard any news about the deer task force? See you on the 23rd.

Also I have an appointment with an outdoor lighting representative from Xcel Energy who is coming to City Hall today at 2:30 to answer some additional questions. You are welcome to attend, we will meet in the Manager's conference room.

Page I of 2 Metropolitan .:, Surcharges on wastewater bills to communities with excessive I/I begin in January 2007. Communities are installing meters to measure flow, and are inspecting pipes and homeowner sump pumps. Communities identify sources of clear water flow into sewers Progress is made as date for surcharge on wastewater bills nears Communities around the region are tackling the problem of clear water in the sanitary sewer system called infiltration and inflow (I/I) - in anticipation of a regional wastewater surcharge program that takes effect in January 2007. In most communities the first step is identifying and quantifying the problem, explained Kyle Colvin, manager of the Metropolitan Council's I/I surcharge program. For example, Lakeville installed nine meters to measure flow that might come from sump pumps or leaking manholes, primarily in the northern part of the city. The city also worked with the Metropolitan Council to identify portions of the regional distribution system that may be subject to infiltration during heavy rains or snow melt. "We want to nip it [I & I] in the bud - find out where it is a problem and go fix it," said Keith Nelson, Lakeville's city engineer. Remote cameras placed inside sanitary sewer pipes detect the location of cracks where groundwater flows into the pipes. Eden Prairie's effort to quantify I/I led it to install 40 manhole meters in areas of the city believed most �I .'to.ol box" for communities (pdf) subject to clear water flows. The city also arranged to have the I/I Surcharge Procedure Manual (pdf) Metropolitan Council install meters on its interceptors, in order to Golde..n Valley's animated 1/1 story, verify flows in the regional system. Eden Prairie plans to collect data through September, then prepare a response plan. The city will first address problem areas with public education. Ordinances and enforcement measures will follow as neede Clear water reduces capacity in the system The Metropolitan Council adopted a program in December 2005 that for clear water flows to the regional sanitary sewer system. Commu the surcharges, which are based on flows measured during rainfall money to stop I/I at the source. http://www.metrocouncil.org/directions/water/water2006/IIprogressJuneO6.htm 7/6/2006 Metropolitan Council Directions Newsletter: Water: Communities making progress on inf...

Golden Valley recently completed a program to identify its sources of I/I. Based on the data, the city plans to line portions of its sanitary sewer system and install drain tiles to direct drainage from residential sump pumps, and to continue its aggressive program of public education and outreach about the issue. "We really see the program as a partnership between the city and the Met Council," said Jeanine Clancy, Golden Valley's public works director. "We're concerned about the impacts surcharges could create, but we recognize the Council is working with us to improve its own system and help communities develop solutions."

In the future excessive I/I could, if not reduced, limit growth in the region. If successful, the Council's program will help the region avoid these problems with local investments estimated at $150 million. "We really see the program as a That figure compares with a minimum of $900 million the Council estimates that it would partnership cost the region to build the infrastructure just to convey the excess flows to wastewater between the treatment plants. Expansion of the plants themselves would be very costly and, because of city and the space constraints, not possible in many cases, explained Colvin. Met Council." - Jeanine The surcharge program 'makes sense' Clancy, Golden Valley public works director. "The Metropolitan Council program makes sense," said Ed Sorensen, special projects coordinator for Eden Prairie. "It is much better to stop inflows at the source rather than adding new facilities - after all, it is everybody's money we'd be spending." Sorensen believes most of his city's clear water flows stem from sump pumps that illegally discharge to household drains. "We may have some manholes that need to be addressed," he said, "but most of the pipes in our sanitary sewer system are less than 30 years old. I don't expect they will require significant replacement dollars."

The Golden Valley Election Task Force is comprised of Golden Valley citizens appointed by the Golden Valley city council to review a number of election issues in the city of Golden Valley. As a part of our process to include public input in the work of our task force, this open house is being held to provide an opportunity for citizens to participate in the work of the task force. As members of a board or commission in Golden Valley, we invite you to attend our voter open house. Our open house will be open to the public and will include opportunities for: Voter registration Sample voting on the new AutoMark touch screen ballot marking system for disabled voters being introduced this year as a part of the Helping America Vote Act. Representatives of the Minnesota Secretary of State's office will be present to demonstrate this new equipment. Opportunities to provide feedback on topics being discussed by the task force such as council/mayor salaries, even/odd year elections in Golden Valley, and a code of ethics for Golden Valley elections. Refreshments will be served! Subsequent to this event, we will also be taking comments via the Golden Valley web site. The elections open house will be held from 7-9 PM at Golden Valley City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road on Monday, September 25, 2006. We hope that you will find this an opportunity for students to learn more about the work of our task force and the issues we have been discussing. Please contact Sue Virnig, City of Golden Valley at 763-593-8010 or Gary Cohen, election task force chair at 763-377-1458 if you have any questions or would like further information about the voter open house.
