Local government has become more challenging each year. I want to share some thoughts from my experience which might be helpful. It is very important to actually"work at" developing a collegial working relationship. I found that we all came from different backgrounds, had different philosophies and perspectives. That made it necessary to consciously"work at" developing understanding and trust so we could better serve our constituents. I recommend devating several workshop sessions with professianal help to learn the basics and develop that positive working culture. First, it is critical to learn together and understand what your role is in the "Cifiy Manager"form of government. What is the role of the Council as a whole? What is the role and responsibility of the Mayor? What is the role of the Council Members? Second, it would be help#ul to learn how each of you approaches the decision making process so yau have a better understanding of that and can work better together. (There are consultants,tests, exercises and help to do this.) Third,take the time to learn together what the rules are under the "Open Meeting" law and "Conflict Interest" so you are all operating the same and correctly. Yau are a diverse group serving a diverse commun'rty. It is a difficult job but you are all capable and devoted to the job so it is very possible to do well if you work at it, Congratulations on achieving electian. Thank you for your service. I wish you well.

G. Resolution to Install Yield Signs on Scott Avenue North at 33rd Avenue North Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer Mark Ray, PE, Engineer Summary During the summer of 2011, staff received a request from a resident in the vicinity of Scott Avenue North at 33rd Avenue North (see attached location map) to install stop signs. This request was forwarded to the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC) for its review and consideration. Public Works staff conducted an Intersection Control Review and reported the findings to the NTSC. The Intersection Control Review and supplemental discussion concludes some of the sight lines at the intersection are restricted (see attached photos) and the crash history at the intersection supports the obstructed sight lines. Based on the findings of the Intersection Control Review and supplemental memo, the NTSC finds that yield signs are warranted at the intersection and recommends that City Council authorize the installation. The primary issue at this intersection is the obstructed sight lines. Higher profile vehicles will have better sight lines and thus be able to safely proceed through the intersection without needing to come to a complete stop. Research suggests that increasing the level of traffic control, beyond what is necessary to address the issue, does not necessarily improve safety. By installing yield signs instead of stop signs, high profile vehicles with better sight lines are not forced to stop as would a smaller vehicle with limited visibility. Forcing vehicles to stop at an intersection, when such a stop is not warranted, ultimately results in lower compliance rates and potential safety concerns.

Attached to this memo is a two-way yield analysis worksheet providing more technical information regarding the conditions at the intersection. The real need at this intersection is to establish which approach has the right-of-way. By installing yield signs, the issue should be addressed. After establishing which approach has the right-of-way, it is up to drivers going through the intersection to determine whether they should stop or not, based on their sight lines and other factors.

PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY Minimal. E CRASHES CORRECTABLE BY YIELD SIGNS Should be. RESTRICTED VIEW CORRECTABLE BY OTHER MEANS MinimaL PEDESTRIAN SCHOOL ROUTE/CROSSING N/A CRITICAL APPROACH SPEED BASED ON SIGHT DISTANCE Omph RECOMMENDATION Sight lines at the intersection are not uncommon with those present at other local street intersections in Golden Valley.The one exception is the grade of the yard and retaining wall in the northwest quadrant of the intersection.This natural obstruction does have a significant negative impact on sight lines.Correcting the issue would involve significant regrading and retaining wall construction on private property.The MMUTCD does specify that stop signs may be installed where restricted view or TRAFFIC ENGINEER crash records indicate a need for a stop sign. Both of these conditions currently exist at the COMMENTS intersection. Furthermore,the MMUTCD provides support for the installation of a stop sign for "Stopping the direction that has obscured vision,...that already require drivers to use lower operating speeds;and Stopping the direction that has the best sight distance to conflicting traffic."As such, stopping Scott Avenue N will satisfies both of these support guidelines. However,since this is a residential area with low traffic volumes, yield signs are recommended to be installed instead because they will clearly establish who has the right of way but vehicles that are higher above the ground will not be forced to stop if they have adequate sight distance. F NEIGHBORHOOD Based on the crash history, observed driver behavior, and obstructed sight lines that are not easily TRAFFIC SAFETY corrected the application of a two-way yield sign treatment at 33rd Avenue and Scott Avenue is COMMITTEE Justified. Increasing the intersection control could have a positive safety impact on the intersection. COMMENTS Because sight distances are adequate once vehicles are stopped on Scott Avenue an All-way stop configuration was not considered at this time.

J. MnDOT Local Road Improvement Program Application Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer Ron Nims, Project Coordinator Mark Ray, PE, Graduate Engineer Summary At the January 10, 2012 Council/Manager meeting, staff discussed with the City Council a potential funding opportunity for a portion of the Douglas Drive Corridor Project. The Minnesota Department of Transportation's Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) has $10 million available to fund projects with statewide or regional significance. Projects may be funded up to a cap of$500,000 with no match required. Projects that will be considered must be bid by 2013, be on roads determined to be of regional significance, and incorporate an established safety strategy. Staff has determined that a portion of the Council approved Priority 1 Area for the Douglas Drive (County State Aid Highway 102) project is a good candidate for this funding opportunity. The main component of the Priority 1 area is elimination of the intersection of Country Club Drive with Douglas Drive. Country Club Drive will be converted to a cul-de-sac just east of the Optum Health parking lot driveway. Modifications in the access to and from Trunk Highway 55 will also be included in this project.

L. Approval of Data Access Policy, Responsible Authority, and Compliance Official Prepared By Sue Virnig, Finance Director/City Clerk Summary The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act requires cities to designate a responsible party and appoint a data compliance officer. Each department will have a designated employee that will be responsible for administrating records and/or record requests. The Public Notice attachment will be posted at all city buildings and infarmation will be added to the City web site. Attachments Data Access Policy (5 pages) Recommended Action Motion to adopt the Data Access Policy, post public notice of responsible parties, and data request form to the City web site. City of Golden Valley Data Access Policy Right to Access Public Data The Data Practices Act(Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13) presumes that all government data is public unless a state or federal law says the data is not public. Government data is a term that means all recorded information a government entity has, including paper, email, CD-ROMs, photographs, etc. The Data Practices Act also provides that the City of Golden Valley must keep all government data in a way that makes it easy for the public to access public data. The public has the right to look at (inspect), free of charge, all public data that the City keeps. The public also has the right to get copies of public data. The Data Practices Act allows the City to charge for copies. The public has the right to look at data, free of charge, before deciding to request copies. How to Make a Data Request To look at data or request copies of data that the City of Golden Valley keeps, a written request for data must be made to the appropriate individual listed in the Data Practices Contacts document in Appendix A. Interested party(ies) may make a request for data by fax, email, mail or in person by using the form in Appendix B. Written requests should include that the data is being requested under the Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13; whether the person requesting the data would like to look at the data, get copies of the data, or both; and a clear description of the requested data. The City of Golden Valley cannot require members of the public, to identify themselves or explain the reason for the data request. However, depending on how the information is requested to be processed (for example, mailing copies of data), more information may be required to process the request. Response to a Data Request Upon receiving a written request, the City will work to process it. 1. If the City does not have the data, notification in writing will be provided as soon as reasonably possible. 2. If the City has the data, but the data is not public, notification in writing will be provided as soon as reasonably possible explaining which specific law says the data is not public. 3. If the City has the data, and the data is public, response to the request will be handled appropriately and promptly, within a reasonable amount of time by doing one of the following: a. arrange a date, time, and place to inspect data, for free, if the request is to look at the data, or b. provide copies of the data as soon as reasonably possible. Copies can be picked up, mailed or faxed if an address or fax number is provided. Electronic copies (such as email or CD-ROM) will be provided upon request if the data is kept in an electronic format. Information about copy charges is in Appendix C. The fee will need to be paid before release of the information. Questions should be directed to the department designated contact. 1 The Data Practices Act does not require cities to create or collect new data in response to a data request if they do not already have the data, or to provide data in a specific form or arrangement if they do not keep the data in that form or arrangement. (For example, if the data requested is on paper only, cities are not required to create electronic documents to respond to requests.) If data is created in response to a request, details including cost and response time will be discussed. In addition, the Data Practices Act does not require cities to answer questions that are not requests for data. Requests for Summary Data Summary data is statistical records or reports that are prepared by removing all identifiers from private or confidential data on individuals. The preparation of summary data is not a means to gain access to private or confidential data. The City of Golden Valley will prepare summary data if a request is made in writing and the cost of creating the data is paid for by the person making the request. Upon receiving a written request, the City will respond within ten business days with the data or details of when the data will be ready and how much will be charged. Minnesota Statutes, section 13.03, subdivision 2(b), requires us to have this document. 2 Appendix A ��tyof golden vall e � PUBLIC NOTICE PURSUANT to Minnesota Statutes, §13.05, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, the "responsible authority" for the City of Golden Valley is: Thomas Burt City Manager 7800 Golden Valley Road Golden Valley, MN 55427 763-593-8003 PURSUANT to Minnesota Statutes, §13.05, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, the "data practices compliance official" for the City of Golden Valley is: Susan Virnig City Clerk 7800 Golden Valley Road Golden Valley, MN 55427 763-593-8010 Inquiries regarding government data created, maintained or disseminated by Golden Valley City Offices are to be made during normal business hours (daily 8 am to 4:30 pm, excluding weekends and holidays) to the following designees: Departments: City Clerk...............................................

These charges are authorized under Minnesota Statutes, Section 13.03, Subdivision 3(c). For 100 or Fewer Paper Copies — 25 Cents Per Page 100 or fewer pages of black and white, letter or legal size paper copies cost 25¢ for a one-sided copy, or 50¢ for a two-sided copy. Most Other Types of Copies —Actual Cost The charge for most other types of copies, when a charge is not set by statute or rule, is the actual cost of searching for and retrieving the data, and making the copies or electronically transmitting the data (e.g. sending the data by email). In determining the actual cost of making copies, we factor in employee time, the cost of the materials onto which we are copying the data (paper, CD, DVD, etc.), and mailing costs (if any). If your request is for copies of data that we cannot reproduce ourselves, such as photographs, we will charge you the actual cost we must pay an outside vendor for the copies. The cost of employee time to search for data, retrieve data, and make copies is $24.57 per hour. If, because of the subject matter of your request, we find it necessary for a higher-paid employee to search for and retrieve the data, we will calculate the search and retrieval portion of the copy charge at the higher salary/wage. The City of Golden Valley has on file the fee schedule that is approved annually by ordinance.
