Mayor Loomis,
At the March meeting of the Golden Valley Little League, the board approved a resolution to provide
$67,500 toward the Honeywell Fields Project. This letter is to document our commitment to the project.
Golden Valley Little League commits to raise $67,500 in funding for this project with this amount to be
raised by July 15, 2011. It is our understanding that we will work with City of Golden Valley staff to set
dates to remit funds to the City as the project progresses and as we raise funds for the project.
Thank you for your support in this project.
Sincerely,
Peter Birkeland

Re: Golden Valley Little League "Fielding Dreams" Baseball Field Expansion Project
This is a proposal to allow Golden Valley Little League (GVLL) to rename the current baseball field, the
park itself (currently "Honeywell Park") and the two new fields that will be built this summer. Current
review of the name "Honeywell Park" shows that no agreement was ever put in place between the City
of Golden Valley and Honeywell Corporation to name the park "Honeywell Park".
We (GVLL) have been fully engaged in raising funds for the field expansion project. There is a total cost
of $467,500 for the project and GVLL is responsible for raising $67,500. We have currently raised
$20,000 of the $67,500. That brings our total funds to $420,000 out of $467,500. The last $47,500
represents the last 10% of funds that need to be raised. Having the ability to offer local businesses the
opportunity to name the park or have naming rights to one of the three fields would allow GVLL to land
larger sponsorship dollars and to meet our fundraising goal by the July 2011 deadline.
Agreements for naming rights:
Name the Park (currently known as "Honeywell Park") $30,000 to $50,000 for 20 years or perpetuity
Name one of the three fields $7,000 to $10,000 for 5 to 7 years
Not only would offering naming rights help us reach our fundraising goals for the project but it would
allow for future revenue generating events for GVLL. This would help cover operating costs for the
league now and in the future.
We also feel there may be more appealing names for the park that will align with the City's objectives as
well as those of GVLL. Currently only one-third of the park is accessible to patrons and visitors. After
the project is complete the other two-thirds will be open to the community. This will be a new
beginning for the park and it would be a great time to give it a new name to go with its new look and
feel. However, it is our plan to approach our contacts at Honeywell Corporation to offer them the first
opportunity to lock -in the current name of the park. We also have other businesses that may be
interested in naming the park and/or fields if Honeywell chooses not to take advantage of the
opportunity.
It is important for us to know as soon as possible what the City of Golden Valley is comfortable with
allowing GVLL to do in regards to naming rights. We believe allowing GVLL to offer naming rights will be
a win/win scenario for the City of Golden Valley and the Community.
Regards,
Chris Hiestand, GVLL Fundraising

4. Reconsideration of Amending Section 10.30, Regarding Discontinuance of Dog Licensing
Requirement (Except for Dangerous and Potentially Dangerous Dogs)
Prepared By
Stacy Altonen, Chief of Police
Summary
At the February 8, 2011 Council/Manager meeting the Council directed staff to continue dog
license registration and recommended increasing the dog license fee to $15.00 for a
spayed/neutered dog and $30.00 for an unaltered dog beginning in 2012.
At the February 15, 2011 City Council meeting the Council took no action on Ordinance No.
455, which meant that no changes were made to the City Code. Based on direction of the
City Council, staff sent renewal notices to the current dog license holders. As of March 4,
2011 the City has issued 153 dog licenses for 2011.
At the March 1, 2011 City Council meeting the Council requested the proposed amendments
to the City Code discontinuing dog license registration be brought back to the Council/Manager
meeting for discussion.

Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
March 8, 2011
Agenda Item
6. Interest Rate for 2011 Pavement Management Program Special Assessments
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
Since 1996, the Pavement Management Program has used a rate of 7% for all special
assessments certified. While evaluating the financing program, the City Council has asked for
a review of the interest rate charged for special assessments.
Improvement Bonds are sold to finance the Pavement Management Program, and the
benefitting properties are assessed a special assessment to help pay for a percentage of the
project. The City is allowed to charge any interest rate the Council determines. In setting
interest rates on assessments, the Council should make sure there is a reasonable
relationship between the assessment interest rate and the bond interest rate that finances the
project. Because the City incurs certain costs for arbitrage and administrative reporting and
bears the costs of delinquencies, staff recommends the interest rate be set at least two
percentage points higher than the all inclusive cost included in the bond schedule for 2011
provided by Springsted. Interest rates may not be changed during the life of the bonds due to
the fiscal reporting that is used when the bonds are sold.
Property owners have two options at the time of certification. They may pay the entire amount
by the due date and be charged no interest, or they may let the certification be paid through
their property taxes over a 10 -year period at the approved interest rate. That period may be
shorter if the property owner so chooses to pay the remaining balance before November 15
of the current year.
