Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes, City Planner Joe Hogeboom,
Environmental Commission Chair Rich Baker and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
The meeting began at 7:15 pm in the Council Conference Room.
Donation of Street Name Signs to Golden Valley Historical Society
Jeannine Clancy stated that the Historical Society has expressed interest in the old street
signs and the concrete support posts that are currently in the process of being replaced.
She explained that the Historical Society would like to sell the signs as a fundraiser.
However since the old signs have salvage value it would take City Council approval to
donate the signs to the Historical Society.
The Council discussed the salvage value and potential price of the signs. After discussion,
the Council consensus was that donating the signs to the Historical Society is a good idea
and they would like the item to be brought to the next regular Council meeting.
Human Rights Commission Task Force
Stacy Garlson reviewed with the Council the tentative timeline in setting up a task force
whose purpose would be to assess the need for and scope of a Human Rights
Commission. She discussed the public notification sources including the City's website,
Patch.com, SunPost Newspaper, Golden Valley CommonPlace and a mailing to faith
institutions. She added that the task force would be overseen by the Assistant City
Manager and facilitated by Mediation Services.
The Council discussed the notification letter, the timeline, the application and interview
process, the number of people to be on the task force and other types of organizations
they would like to send the notification letter to. After discussion, the consensus was ta _
remove the second sentence from the notification letter, post the notification letter at the
library and mail the notification letter to.high schools, the City's Bridge Builder group and
the City's landlord group. They would also prefer to limit the number of people on the task
force to 30.
Environmental Commission Tasks:
a. Draft Work Plan — Study City Code Section 10.32: Animals and Fowl-Keeping
b. 2012 Priorities
Environmental Commission Chair Rich Baker reviewed the Commission's proposed work
plan and timeline regarding the study of whether the City Code should be amended in
arder to allow the keeping of chickens. He noted that the six month deadline given by the
Council might not be realistic and that the Commission hopes to have the study complete
by March 2013.
Baker next discussed the Commission's 2012 priorities including: transportation
alternatives, composting, natural area management plans, and solar panels on City
buildings.

transportation alternatives priari#y and that they also include the Pfanning Commission.
Douglas Drive Moratorium Area — Light Commercial District
Joe Hogeboom reminded the Council that the City adopted an ordinance in 2010 which
placed a one-year moratorium on development within the area located at the northeast
intersection of Highway 55 and Douglas Drive. The moratorium on the property expires in
July. Hogeboom explained that the Dougtas Drive Corridor Study suggested the creation
of a corporate campus on the site. Hogeboom stated that a corporate eampus could be
achieved on the larger portion of the site, located to the north of the Frontage Road,
through the existing Business and Professional Offices Zoning District. He stated that staff
is proposing a new Light Commercial zoning district to accommodate smatler-scale and
neighborhood types of commercial uses for the area between the Frontage Road,
Highway 55 and Douglas Drive. The proposed Light Commercial zoning district, once
created couid aiso be applied to other areas in the City.
The Council discussed the proposed new ordinance and the types of uses they would like
to see on this vacant land directly adjacent to the Douglas Drive/Highway 55 intersection.
They also discussed how the property could possibly be used in the interim and
suggested that staff talk to the property owner about cleaning up the property. After
discussion, the direction ta staff was to bring the proposed �ight Commercial zoning
district ardinance to the Planning Commission for review, work with the property owners to
improve the site and to keep the property zoned Industrial in the meantime. The Council
then directed staff to move forward with re-guiding the area north and east of the Frontage
Road to Commercial-Office on the General Land Use Plan Map and then to rezone the
property to Business and Professional Offices.
The meeting adjourned at 9:05 pm.

the group wants and find a location that will work. Hayle and Nimmer talked about events
they had attended that had a theme with corporate levels of support. Have a fee with the

Minutes of Februarv 8, 2012 and March 1, 2012
MOVED by McDonald, seconded by Norris and motion carried unanimously to approve the
minutes of the February 8 and March 1, 2012 meetings.
Draft 2011 Financial Report
Virnig distributed the draft financial report and reported no comment. The draft 2011
Financial Report was received and filed.
Water Interaction Studv Update
The Joint Water Commission TAC received the results of the modeling portion of the study
from Barr Engineering Co. and the next step is to determine if the JWC wants to move
ahead with the bench testing. The TAC recommends the bench testing to determine how
the well water will mix with the water from Minneapolis and the filtering process in the
reservoir. Test samples could be taken from the New Hope well (at a cost of about $4,000)
or sample neighboring wells. The JWC discussed the pros and cons of collecting water
from the New Hope well and benefit/cost ratio.
The consensus of the JWC is that it makes sense to do the bench testing. The TAC will
direct Barr to not sample the New Hope well at this time, bufi to sample nearby wells.
Tri-CitY Council Meetinq on Mav 7, 2012
The three city councils met on May 11, 2011, and as a result of that meeting directed the
JWC to move ahead with the interaction study to the jar testing level, develop an
implementation plan and funding for a backup water supply, and dialogue with the City of
Minneapolis about the cost-benefit of digging wells. �
The draft agenda for the May 7, 2012 meeting is (1) the feasibility of the backup water
supply, and (2) an update on surface water issues in the vicinity of Winnetka Avenue and
Medicine Lake Road, Terra Linda Drive, and the DeCola Ponds neighborhood. Clancy has
invited Barr Engineering Co. to give the presentation on the interaction study findings. The
general outline will include background on possible risks to the water supply at plant and
Joint Water Commission

distribution system to the reservoir, risk to the river, water system sustainability, water
interaction with Minneapolis water supply, and cost of a backup supply. The cost to dig a
new well is about $700,000 per well (appraximate number of weils needed is four).
The city councils will want an implementation plan and costs associated with the backup
water supply to budget accordingly in their capital improvement programs. Virnig will put
together a couple of options to include in Barr's presentation that will show the Gost of
digging the wells and what it will do with the rates.
Barr Engineering Co. will also give the presentation on the DeCala Ponds area study.
Bonnie Morey, Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc., will facilitate the discussion to help develop
consensus and direction for moving forward.
The JWC will review Barr's presentation at its May 2, 2012 meeting.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
June 19, 2012
Agenda Item
3. E. 1. Purchase of Street Name Signs and Associated Material
Prepared By
Jeannine Ctancy, Director of Pubiic Works
Mark Ray, PE, Engineer
Summary
The 2Al2-2016 Capital Improvement Program, Replacement of Street Signs (S-024, page 99)
budgets $50,000 ir� 2012 for the replacement of street name signs to be in compliance with new
Federal Manual an Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. Last year, City staff began
inventorying all the existing signs in the City and also started to replace street name signs that
were not compliant. Staff discussed this program with the City Council at the February 15, 2012
Council/Manage'r meeting.
With the proposed 2012 order, all of the City streets east of Highway 100, and in the area
bordered by Douglas Qrive, Highway 55 and Highway 100 will have upgraded signs. In addition, a
few other higher volume streets and commercial areas elsewhere in the City will be upgraded
(Laurel Avenue, Medicine Lake Road, and the I-394 corridor commercial area).
Quotes were requested from two manufactures: Lyle Signs, Inc. and Newman Traffic Signs.
Newman Traffic Signs had a lower quote; however, their quate is considered non-responsive
since it did not include the cost of the required sign brackets. Lyle Signs, Inc. met the City
specification for signs and brackets. Both quotes are attached.
Attachments
• Lyle Signs, Inc. quote (1 page)
• Newman Traffic Signs quote (1 page)
Recammended Action

including Minnesota sales tax, in the amount of$28,996.33 from Lyle Signs, Inc.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
June 19, 2012
Agenda Item
3. F. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for Comprehensive Municipal Recycling Services
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Mark Ray, PE, Engineer
Summary
At the February 21, 2012 City Council meeting, the City Council approved a revisian to the City
Code to clarify that multiple family, commercial, and other institutions may participate in the
City's curbside recycling program and be charged for this service. Staff has worked with the
hauler, Allied Waste, to prepare language to amend the recycling services contract to clarify that
multiple family, commercial, and other institutions may participate in the curbside recycling
program and outline the terms of the service to be consistent with the curbside program to single
family homes. The amendment also gives the Director of Public Works the authority to enter into
contracts with individual properties (multi-family, commercial/institutional) for recycling services
as part of the curbside recycling program.
The Agreement far Comprehensive Municipal Recycling Services signed last fall also noted the
City's interest in expanding the recycling program to City parks. Staff has worked internally and
with Allied Waste to develop a preliminary plan for recycling in parks. The proposed amendment
will set in motion the authority for staff to proceed with the implementation of the preliminary
recycling plan for parks. Recycling in the parks will initially start with carts at main parks
(Brookview and Issacson) as well as provide extra recycling carts that staff will take to parks
based on rentals or other needs. At the end of the summer, staff will evaluate haw the program
went and determine a best course of action for 2013. Language in the proposed amendment
provides staff with the flexibility to respond to recycling demands or issues in City parks.
Finally, the propased Amendment also gives the City Manager the authority to enter into
agreements for services provided as part of Mighty Tidy Day and the Fall Leaf Drop. These yearly
recycling events have been a part of the recycling program, but operated separately from the
curbside recycling agreement. With the Agreement for Comprehensive Municipal Recycling
Services signed last fall, these services were integrated into the curbside service agreement in
order to streamline service delivery for these programs.

Planting for Diversity Project Questions
2012-2014 DNR Community Forest Bonding Grant
1. City of Golden Valley, MN: Reforestation of Tornado-damaged Trees and Ash
1�ar a Diverse, Resilient CommunEty Forest
2. Project Purpase—City was impacted by a tomado in May and two other significant storm
evants in 2011. On May 22, July 2-3, and August 7, the City(ost over 158 public trees. Sixty-five
trees were also last in May 2008 and 81 shade trees were lost in September 2047. Shade tree
losses over the past 5 years had a significant negative impact on Golden Valley's urban farest
tree papulartion. This grant will aliow the City to continue pianting a diverse and resilient
community forest with a va�iety af native tree species, which was started with the suppart af the
2q10-2012 Community Fore�#Bonding Grant. Replacement af trees.that were last due to the
#omada and other s#orms with diverse native species wil( limit the City's liabili#y far passible
future diseases and insect pests such as emerald ash borer. EAB is about 4.5 miles from the
eastern border of Golden Valley.
3. Project Loaation(s) Description —Pianting will occur in at least 11 of the 23 Ci#y parks,
Broakview Public Golf Caurse, and other public properties such as the City Hall campus and
Fire Stations. City parks, the public golf course, and City Nall campus consist af over 30A
acres. Clay soils predominate in thfs city.
4. Document Public Ownership —All properties as identified above and an attached map.
5. Project Goals— Mitigate for significant tree loss over the past 5 years and diversify the
community tree population to reduce the irnpact of tree losses from severe starms, EAB, Dutch
elm disease, oak wilt, etc. The 2010-2011 City Tree fnventory identified a 8reat need to diversify
tree species growing in open areas of public property(25°k ash).
6. Methods—Assistant City Farester will soficit bids to furnish, install, and warranty tree
replacements. Trees will be pianted by the sele+cted landscape cantractor and covered by a
one-year wa�anty. City Newsletter articles and website, and local cable N Channel12, will be
used for publio education in this effort.
7. Persannel—Tirn Teynor, Assistant City Fo�ester, and AI Lundstrom, Parks Maintenance
Supervisor/City Farester, will aversee the planting and long-term maintenance with the
assisfance of the Public Works Department(e.g.,watering if necessary, proper wood mulch
installation, and future structural pruning and deadwood removal as needed).
8. Maintenance and Management Plans
A. City foresters will continue the existing Community Forestry Pragram that has satisfied the
requiremen�s for a city to be designat�d a Tree�City USA for 24 consecutive years. This
program invalves four major areas: 1. Tree Maintenance(trimming and maintaining pub(ic
property trees)2. Tree Replacement(Pavement Management Program}, Parks, and other
2
public property improvements. 3. Coordinatian of tree removal, c�rrective pruning, and
replacement for the annual Pavsment Management Program (street reconstruction). 4 Dutch
Elm Disease, Oak Wilt,�and exotic pest(EAB)management.
The 3-Year Maintenance Plan wril invotve weekiy(year 4}and biweekly(years 2&3)inspections
of the trees by City foresters and Public Wvrks Main#enance staff for suffic�ent watenng, pest
and disease management, pruning damaged or dead branches, mulch repiacement, and
installatian of tree protection in early fall ta prevent deer-rubbing damage and frast cracking.
The Goiden Valley Pubiic Tree Inventory will continue to direct foresters for where and what
replacement trees wilt be planted in open space on public property(see summary beiow).
B. Cantinuous designation of Golden VaAey as a Tree City U.S.A.for ove�24 years verifies that
the City has a strong financial commitment to a lang-term management plan for this cammunity
farestry pragram that is independent af State funding. Golden Valley exceeds the annual Tree
City Forestry budget requirement of$2.00 per capita($8.99 per capita in 2011)and has a
comp�ehensive tree management program with an updated City Qrdinance.
The City public tree inventory has been completed far open areas af City pa�ics, public golf
course, and other public praperties and has become an importartf management tool for
managing the community forest. A full-time GIS Technician was hired in 2017 to help Pubiic
Works staff develop and marrage the public urban forest and other natura(resources, as well as
utilities.

3. H. Award Contract for 2012 Bassett Creek Restoration Project No. 10-29
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
Through its annual creek inspection program, City staff identified that significant erosion and
downstream sedimentation has occurred along the Main Stem of Bassett Creek jsee attached
location map). These sections of the creek include Wisconsin Avenue to 10th Avenue and Duluth
Street to the Crystal/Golden Valley border.
The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) recognizes the need for
improvements to Bassett Creek and has included a stream bank restoration project for these
portions of the creek in its Capital Improvements Program. On September 23, 2010,the BCWMC
received a feasibility report for the project prepared by Barr Engineering Company and adopted a
resolution ordering the project. In addition, the resolution provided for funding in the amount of
$580,200 and directed the City of Golden Valley to construct the project. In December 2010, the
City Council authorized the cooperative agreement with BCWMC and the agreement with WSB &
Associates, Inc. for engineering services for the project.
During the design of the project, the City was approached by Colonial Acres Health Care Center,
located at 5825 St. Croix Avenue, with a request to be included in the City's contract. The site has
experienced significant erosion over the years. The City and Colonial Acres executed a deposit
agreement and Colonial Acres submitted $100,000 in private funds for the work on its site.
Bids for the 2012 Bassett Creek Restoration Project No. 10-29 were opened on May 30, 2012. The
bids have been adjusted and corrected per the contract documents and are listed as follows:
Rache) Contracting $607,260.00
Veit & Company, Inc. $773,368.64
Sunram Construction $894,267.00
Staff has reviewed the bids and found them to be accurate and in order.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting

Agenda Item
4. A. Public Hearing- MS4 General Permit, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program, 2011
Annual Report to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Jeff Oliver P.E., City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
As authorized by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and its amendments, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting
program which regulates point sources and non-point sources of potlution into our nation's
waterways. Point sources include pipes and ditches, and non-point sources include overland
precipitation runoff. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) manages the permitting
program for EPA in Minnesota.
Cities like Golden Valley and other public entities which operate their own storm sewer systems
are required to obtain a Municipal Separate Starm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit from
MPCA. The permit allows Golden Valley to discharge stormwater into public waters. It also
requires that the City develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Pragram to
reduce the contamination of stormwater runoff and prohibit illicit discharges.
The Phase II NPDES permit program was implemented by EPA in 1999 and required cities with
populations under 100,000 to obtain a permit to discharge stormwater. Golden Valley applied for
its MS4 permit from MPCA on March 10, 2003. The permit was updated in 2006 and is set to
expire in 2012 when the permit is reissued by MPCA. The permits generally run on a 5-year cycle.
The permit addresses haw the City regulates and improves its stormwater discharges, and
includes a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) which serves to minimize the
discharge of pollutants and protect and enhance water quality.
Golden Valiey's SWPPP addresses the six minimum control measures outlined in the M54 permit
requirements. Many of the Best Management Practices required in the permit were already
developed by the City in accordance with its Surface Water Management Ptan. The six minimum
control measures of the permit are:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge, Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Runoff Control
5. Post Construction Runoff Control
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
An annua! public hearing and preparation of a report is a requirement of the MS4 permit. The
hearing has been advertised for June 19, 2012 at 7 pm. The City must create a record of the
public comments received, either written or oral. The public input must be considered and a
record of decision must be added to the annual report to MPCA.

Resolution 12�51 June 19, 2012
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT OF THE BOTTINEAU TRANSITWAY LOCALLY
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE (LPA)
WHEREAS, the Bottineau Transitway is a proposed project to provide transit service
which will satisiy long-term regional mobility and accessibility needs for businesses and the
traveling public in the heavily traveled northwest area of the Twin Cities, and;
WHEREAS, the Bottineau Transifinray is located in Hennepin County, Minnesota,
extending approximately 13 miles from downtown Minneapolis to the northwest serving
north Minneapolis and the suburbs of Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope,
Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, and Osseo, and;
WHEREAS, while the Bottineau Transitway would provide transit service for
residents and businesses in the cities of New Hope, Ossea, and Maple Grove; the
preferred alignment identified by the PAC does not run directly through these three cities,
and;
WHEREAS, the HCRRA in partnership with the Metropolitan Council and other
project stakeholders recently completed the Bottineau Transitway Alternatives Analysis
Study that in addition to the No Build and Transportation System Management (TSM)
alternatives; recommended four Light Rail Transit (LRT) Alternatives and one Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) Alternative be advanced for further study in the federal and state
environmental review processes, and;
WHEREAS, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Hennepin County
Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA) and the Metropolitan Council have initiated both
federal and state environmental review for the Bottineau Transitway project, and;
WHEREAS, federal funding will be pursued for this project from the FTA, which has
consequently been designated as the lead federal agency for this project, and;
WHEREAS, the Bottineau Transitway recently completed the Scoping Phase of
environmental process, and;
WHEREAS, through the Scoping process, the PAC recommended further study of
the No Build and TSM alternatives along with further study of faur LRT alternatives (A-C-
D1, A-C-D2, B-C-D1, B-C-D2) in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS),
and;
WHEREAS, through the Scoping process, the PAC recommended no further study
of the BRT alternative, and;
WHEREAS, on May 8, 2012 the HCRRA adopted (Resolution No. 12-HCRRA-OQ28)
the recommendations of the PAC regarding the alternatives to be further evaluated in the
Bottineau Transitway Draft EIS, and;
Resolution 12-51 - Continued June 19, 2012
WHEREAS, the identification of an LPA is a critical step in pursuing federal funding
far the Bottineau Transitway, and;
WHEREAS, the LPA includes the definition of the Bottineau Transitway mode and
alignment, and;
WHEREAS, the adoption of the LPA and amendment of it into the region's long-
range transportation plan, the Transportation Policy Plan, concludes the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) Alternatives Analysis (AA) process, and;
WHEREAS, the LPA will be one of the build alternatives identified and studied in the
Draft EIS, and;
WHEREAS, the LPA selection process does not replace or override the requirement
to fully examine alternatives and determine the adverse impacts that must be avoided ar
mitigated under the federal and state environmental review process, and;
WHEREAS, the four LRT alternatives to be studied in the Draft EIS were further
considered with respect to defined project goals, objectives and evaluating criteria set forth
in the AA study and further refined during the Scoping Phase of the federal and state
environmental analyses, and;
WHEREAS, the ARCC and the CAC have provided input into the selection of an �
LPA, and;
WHEREAS, the ARCC, in a technical advisory role to the PAC, provided the
following input:
• Affirm the ARCC's April 2012 input to the PAC during the scoping decision
process advising that study of the BRT alternative should stop, BRT should not
be considered for the LPA, and advising the PAC to select LRT as the locally
preferred mode for the Bottineau Transitway.
• Select Alignment D1 (BNSF near Theodore Wirth Park) as the preferred route for
the southern end of the Bottineau Transitway, and that Hennepin County,
Metropolitan Council, and the City of Minneapolis should work together to
develop and deliver separate transit, livability and economic development
investments to north Minneapolis neighborhoods as soon as possible.
• The ARCC concluded that the technical justification for the A and B alignment is
different, but balanced. The ARCC advises the PAC to consider the five project
needs in their policy decision on the preferred alignment. The ARCC also
recommends Hennepin County, Metropolitan Council, Maple Grove and/or
Brooklyn Park work together in the future to consider separate/additional transit
(bus) service and/or related capital investments to the "non-LRT" branch that
integrate with the regional transit system (separate from the Bottineau project).
WHEREAS, the Bottineau Transitway PAC held a public hearing as part of the LPA
selection process. Eighty-five (85) participants attended the hearing, with twenty-two (22)
individuals providing verbal testimony. A total of thirty-seven (37) written comments were
also received from February 26 through May 17, 2012, and;
Resolution 12-51 - Continued June 19, 2012
WHEREAS, the Bottineau Transitway PAC took into consideration the technical
information on each of the alternatives developed to date, along with the ARCC,
Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and public input provided as part of the LPA public
hearing and comment process and passed a resolution on the recommended LPA on May
30,2012; defined as LRT Alternative B-C-D1, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Golden Valley supports the
LPA recommendation of the PAC, and identifies LRT Alternative B-C-D1 as the Locally
Preferred Alternative for the Bottineau Transitway project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Golden Valley
commits to working with the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority and the
Metrapolitan Council to address the following for the Bottineau Transitway:
1. Address long-term construction and maintenance needs at the intersection of
Golden Valley Road and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad
Corridor.
2. Further assess more detailed data related to noise and vibration along the
carridor.
3. Further assess the need for and location of possible noise and retaining walls
within the corridor.
4. Pursue opporkunities for a Hennepin County Community Works project within or
around the D-1 alignment.
5. Further assess the negative impacts to properties along the eorridor and look for
ways for the County and the Metropolitan Council to address those impacts.
6. Pursue funding opportunities for improvements to homes adjacent to the corridor
for the purpose of mitigating negative impacts.
7. Further evaluate parking options and passenger drop-off access at the proposed
Golden Valley Road station location.
8. Work collaboratively with the Minneapolis Park Board to ensure that the negatiue
impacts to Theodore Wirth Regional Park, and surrounding parklands, are
minimal and that natural areas are maintained in their current condition to the
largest extent possible.
