5. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Receive Comments from Member Cities and Public on the Proposed 2017 Capital
Improvement Program(CIP)Projects
Chair de Lambert opened the public hearing at 8:35 a.m. Commission Engineer,Jeff Weiss,gave a
brief presentation with an overview of the Plymouth Creek Restoration Project and the Bassett Creek
Main Stem Erosion Repair Project. Regarding the latter,Mr. Weiss indicated that there was no new
information on when redevelopment will actually take place at the Fruen Mill site and whether or not
the CIP project will be accomplished at the same time. He noted that if the project timing doesn't
line up,that during the CIP project, some concrete would be removed from the Fruen Mill
streambank in order to slope back the bank and add some vegetation.He reported the Main Stem
Erosion Repair Project is estimated to cost$340/linear foot which is higher than most projects due to
contaminated soils and the narrow corridor where the work will take place.
Administrator Jester noted that both CIP projects will not only improve water quality by reducing
erosion but will also improve instream and near stream habitat for aquatic life.
Regarding the Plymouth Creek Restoration Project,there was consensus that coordination was
needed with the Plymouth Parks Department and that engaging the disc golfing community would be
advantageous.It was acknowledged that signage would be needed within the park and that some disc
golf holes may need to be realigned.
There was a question about the high costs of the projects and the ability for the Commission to hold
costs down. Engineer Weiss noted that there would be little if any savings in constructing the
projects together because of the distance between the projects. Administrator Jester reminded
Commissioners that they were applying for$600,000 worth of grant funds for the two projects and
that the feasibility studies already identified the most cost effective restoration and stabilization
practices.
Dave Stack with Friends of Bassett Creek asked why there was such little vegetation along Plymouth
Creek. Mr.Weiss indicated that the banks are very shaded by the overhead canopy and that heavy
foot traffic doesn't allow vegetation to become established.
There were no other comments or questions from the public or member cities.
Chair de Lambert closed the public hearing at 9:07 a.m.
6. BUSINESS
A. Consider Approval of Resolution 16-08 Ordering 2017 Improvements
Administrator Jester reviewed the language of the resolution indicating that by approving the
resolution the Commission would officially order the two 2017 CIP projects(Plymouth Creek
Restoration Project and Bassett Creek Main Stem Erosion Repair Project),designate member
cities responsible for project construction,make findings pursuant to MN Statutes 103B.251,
certify the costs of the projects to Hennepin County,and approve the agreements with the
responsible cities. She reviewed the table in 6Aiii,which shows the costs for various aspects of
the two projects including feasibility studies; Commission administration,legal and engineers
costs; construction and design. She noted that the maximum levy request of$1,303,600 for 2017
that was forwarded to the County in May,was an appropriate final 2017 levy amount and that it
would fund the final portion of the Northwood Lake Project and the first portion of the two 2017
Page 3 of 5
BCWMC September 15, 2016, Meeting Minutes
projects, as shown in the table in 6Aiii.
Administrator Jester noted that the Commission will apply for$600,000 in county and state grant
funding for the two 2017 projects. If no grant funding is awarded, she noted that over$947,000
in 2018 levy funds would be needed to finish the two 2017 CIP projects. She reported that it
may be difficult to fund the entire 2018 CIP project(dredging Bassett Creek Park Pond and
Winnetka Pond)if the Commission wishes to keep the levy at approximately$1.3M. However,
she also noted there are several options for funding the 2018 project and more will be known
after the feasibility study for that project is complete.
Commissioner Welch moved to amend the agreements with the Cit�of Plymouth and the City of
Minneapolis to read in Section 2: "....Minor changes that do not deviate from the direction of the
Commission and do not materially change either the effectiveness of the Project to meet its
intended purposes or the environmental impacts of the Project may be approved by the City, in
consultation with the Commission Administrator,without requiring approvals by the
Commission." [Additions shown in italics.] Seconded by Commissioner Mueller.Upon a vote,
the motion carried 9-0.
Commissioner Welch moved to adopt Resolution 16-08. Seconded by Commissioner Mueller.
Upon a vote,the motion carried 9-0.
B. Consider Attendance at Aquatic Invaders Summit
Administrator Jester noted that a 2-day conference or summit on aquatic invasive species is
planned for early October in St. Cloud. She asked if there were Commissioners that might be
interested in attending or if the Commission would like to send her due to their current
committee's consideration of aquatic plant management and aquatic invasive species(AIS). She
noted the breakout sessions of the conference weren't set yet. She that she asked the
Commission Engineer and partners such as Three River Park District(TRPD)and the City of
Plymouth if they were sending staff to the conference. TRPD and Barr Engineering had noted
they are sending staff to similar AIS conferences and workshops but not to the summit in St.
Cloud.
Commissioner Welch moved to authorize attendance at the Aquatic Invaders Summit by the
Administrator,as appropriate. Seconded by Commissioner Elder.Upon a vote the motion carried
9-0.
7. COMMUNICATIONS
A. Administrator's Report
Administrator Jester noted that besides her written report, she reminded the Commission that the
November Commission meeting will be held on Wednesday the 161. She also noted that Len
Kremer from Barr Engineering would be honored for his decades of service to the Commission
during the November meeting. Commissioners listed other, former Commission members that
should be invited to the November meeting to help honor Len.
Administrator Jester also updated the Commission on the Blake School Field Trip scheduled for
September 29'and visiting Northwood Lake,the Main Stem restoration project through Wirth
Park,the Wirth Lake outlet structure,and the Fruen Mill site.

Summary
The 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Program includes $225,000 for the purchase of a single axle
dump truck, equipment, and setup (V&E-070).
The single axle cab, chassis truck and equipment will be equipped with a stainless steel dump

hydraulics and controls. Staff utilizes this equipment for snow removal and other maintenance
activities such as paving and hauling. The lead-time for truck delivery and equipment is ten to
eleven months.
The 2002 dump truck meets replacement criteria set forth in the City’s vehicle replacement policy

equipment scheduled for replacement and any vehicle/equipment scoring 32 points and above
meets the category of “needs immediate consideration.” The 2002 dump truck due for
replacement scored 32 points.
Ordering the single axle cab, chassis and equipment by December 30, 2016, ensures a delivery

3. E. 5. Approve Purchase for 11 Computers in Squads
Prepared By
Jason J. Sturgis, Chief of Police
Summary
Staff received two quotes for the replacement of 11 squad computers. The quotes include new
docking stations for the vehicles, mobile routers, and computers. The computer replacements
were in the 2016—2020 CIP (V & E #20) for $50,000. Staff had demos on both sets of equipment
and is recommending the low bid from PatrolPC for $74,895.
The squad computers were originally purchased in the beginning of 2012. They were installed
with docking stations that could not be removed. The mobile router that was purchased was new
to the industry at the time and will not be reused due to the cost of a maintenance agreement.
All new equipment works well together and will lower the maintenance on each item. Because
one of the computers is assigned to the DWI vehicle, those monies are accounted for separately.
Quotes:
Patrol PC $74,895.00

To the City Council and Management
of the City of Golden Valley
7800 Golden Valley Road
Golden Valley,MN 55427
Dear Councilmembers and Management:
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for the City of Golden
Valley (the City) for the year ended December 31, 2016. We will audit the financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund
information, and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund, including the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements of the City as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2016. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of
America provide for certain required supplementary information(RSI), such as Management's Discussion
and Analysis (MD&A), to supplement the City's basic financial statements. Such information, although
not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we
will apply certain limited procedures to the City's RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and will be subjected to certain
limited procedures,but will not be audited:
1) MD&A
2) GASB-required supplementary pension and other post-employment benefits information
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies the
City's financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used
to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and
will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole, in a separate written report
accompanying our auditor's report on the financial statements OR in a report combined with our auditor's
report on the financial statements:
1) Combining and individual fund statements and schedules,presented as supplemental information

City of Golden Valley Page 2
December 13,2016
The following other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements, and our auditor's report will not
provide an opinion or any assurance on that other information:
1) Introductory information
2) Statistical section
We will perform the required State Legal Compliance Audit conducted in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the provisions of the Legal Compliance
Audit Guide, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 6.65, and will include
such tests of the accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to conclude
that, for the items tested, the City has complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal
provisions.
We will also prepare a management report for the City Council and administration. This report will
communicate such things as our concerns regarding accounting procedures or policies brought to our
attention during our audit, along with recommendations for improvements. The report will also contain
certain financial comparisons and analysis, and other information of interest.
Our services will not include an audit in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and
Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles,
and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), which would only be required if the
City expended$750,000 or more in federal assistance funds during the year. If the City is required to have
a Single Audit of federal assistance funds,this engagement letter would need to be modified.
Audit Objectives
The objective of our audit is the expression of opinions as to whether your financial statements are fairly
presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and to report on the fairness of the supplementary information referred to in the
second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Our audit will be
conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States, and will include tests of the accounting records of the City and other
procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. We will issue a written report
upon completion of our audit of the City's financial statements. Our report will be addressed to the City
Council. We cannot provide assurance that unmodified opinions will be expressed. Circumstances may
arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinions or add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter
paragraphs. If our opinions are other than unmodified,we will discuss the reasons with you in advance.If,
for any reason,we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions,we
may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or may withdraw from this engagement.
City of Golden Valley Page 3
December 13,2016
We will also provide a report(that does not include an opinion)on internal control related to the financial
statements and compliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,
noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements as required by
Government Auditing Standards. The report on internal control and on compliance and other matters will
include a paragraph that states (1) that the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing
of internal control and compliance, and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control on compliance, and (2) that the report is an integral part of an
audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal
control and compliance. The paragraph will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose.
If during our audit we become aware that the City is subject to an audit requirement that is not
encompassed in the terms of this engagement, we will communicate to management and those charged
with governance that an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards may
not satisfy the relevant legal,regulatory, or contractual requirements.
Audit Procedures—General
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be
examined and the areas to be tested. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We will plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether from(1)errors,(2)fraudulent financial reporting,(3)misappropriation of assets, or(4)violations
of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or
employees acting on behalf of the government. Because the determination of abuse is subjective,
Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting
abuse.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control,
and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material
misstatements may exist and not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and
performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements
or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the
financial statements. However,we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors,
fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that comes to our attention. We will also
inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that
come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential, and of any material abuse that comes to our
attention.Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend
to later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the
accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of
receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, funding
sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will request written representations from your attorneys
as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our
audit,we will require certain written representations from you about your responsibilities for the financial
statements; compliance with laws,regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and other responsibilities
required by generally accepted auditing standards.
City of Golden Valley Page 4
December 13,2016
Audit Procedures—Internal Controls
Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the City and its environment, including internal
control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the
nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures. Tests of controls may be performed to test the
effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud
that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from
illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial
statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on
internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued
pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged
with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) professional standards and Government Auditing
Standards.
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we will perform tests of the City's compliance with the provisions of applicable laws,
regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide
an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance
issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
Other Services
We will also assist in preparing the financial statements and related notes of the City in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America based on information provided
by you. These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and
such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will perform
the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. The other services are limited to the
financial statement services previously defined. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right
to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management
responsibilities.
Management Responsibilities
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls, including
evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities, to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met;
following laws and regulations; and ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and
properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve
compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible
for the selection and application of accounting principles, for the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements and all accompanying information in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and
the provisions of contracts and grant agreements.
City of Golden Valley Page 5
December 13,2016
Management is also responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us
and for the accuracy and completeness of that information. You are also responsible for providing us with
(1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements, (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of
the audit, and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it
necessary to obtain audit evidence.
Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for
confirming to us in the written representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements
aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are
immaterial,both individually and in the aggregate,to the financial statements taken as a whole.
You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect
fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving
(1)management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the
fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us
of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in
communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are
responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws, regulations,
contracts, agreements, and grants and for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and
noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts or grant agreements, or abuse that we
report.
You are responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information, which we have been engaged
to report on, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains and
indicates that we have reported on the supplementary information. You also agree to include the audited
financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report
thereon OR make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary
information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon. Your
responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are
responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America; (2) you believe the supplementary information,
including its form and content, is fairly presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not
changed from those used in the prior period; and(4)you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions
or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the supplementary information.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit
findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report
copies of previous financial audits,attestation engagements,performance audits or other studies related to
the objectives discussed in the Audit Objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying
to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those
audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies. You are also responsible for
providing management's views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as
your planned corrective actions, for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that
information.
You agree to assume all management responsibilities relating to the financial statements and related notes
and any other nonaudit services we provide. You will be required to acknowledge in the management
representation letter our assistance with preparation of the financial statements and related notes and that
you have reviewed and approved the financial statements and related notes prior to their issuance and
have accepted responsibility for them. Further, you agree to oversee the nonaudit services by designating
an individual,preferably from senior management,with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate
the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them.

locate any documents selected by us for testing.
The assistance to be supplied by your personnel, including the preparation of schedules and analysis of
accounts, typing all cash or other confirmations we request, and locating any invoices selected by us for
testing,will be discussed and coordinated with you.
We will provide copies of our reports to the City; however, management is responsible for distribution of
the reports and the financial statements. Unless restricted by law or regulation, or containing privileged
and confidential information,copies of our reports are to be made available for public inspection.
The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of Malloy, Montague, Karnowski,
Radosevich & Co., P.A. (MMKR) and constitutes confidential information. However, subject to
applicable laws and regulations, audit documentation and appropriate individuals will be made available
upon request and in a timely manner to a regulatory agency or its designee, a federal agency providing
direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for purposes of a quality review
of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carryout oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any
such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of
MMKR personnel. Furthermore,upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to
the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information
contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies.
The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the report
release date or for any additional period requested by the regulatory agency. If we are aware that a federal
awarding agency or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the
audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation.
We expect to begin our audit shortly after the end of your fiscal year and to issue our reports prior to
June 30, 2016. William J. Lauer, CPA is the engagement partner and is responsible for supervising the
engagement and signing the reports.
Our fee for these services with be at our standard hourly rates plus out-of-pocket costs (such as report
reproduction,word processing,postage,travel, copies,telephone, etc.)except that we agree that our gross
fee, including expenses, will not exceed $45,900. Our standard hourly rates vary according to the degree
of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your audit. Our invoices
for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation.
In accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 60 days or more
overdue and may not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services
for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of
termination, even if we have not completed our report. You will be obligated to compensate us for all
time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket costs through the date of termination. The above
fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected
circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will
discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs.
City of Golden Valley Page 7
December 13,2016
These fees are based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected
circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If we find that additional audit procedures are
required, or if additional services are requested by the City, those services will be billed at our standard
hourly rates. Additional audit procedures might be required for certain accounting issues or events, such
as new contractual agreements, transactions and legal requirements of new bond issues, new funds, major
capital projects, new tax increment districts, if there is an indication of misappropriation or misuse of
public funds, or if significant difficulties are encountered due to the lack of accounting records,
incomplete records, or turnover in the City's staff.
With regard to the electronic dissemination of audited financial statements, including financial statements
published electronically on your website, you understand that electronic sites are a means to distribute
information and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in these sites or to
consider the consistency of other information in the electronic site with the original document.
If you intend to publish or otherwise reproduce the financial statements, such as in a bond statement, and
make reference to our firm name, you agree to provide us with printers' proofs or masters for our review
and approval before printing. You also agree to provide us with a copy of the final reproduced material
for our approval before it is distributed.
During the year, you might request additional services such as routine advice, assistance in implementing
audit recommendations, review of your projections or budgets, and other similar projects. Independence
standards allow us to perform these routine services; however, it is important that you understand that we
are not allowed to make management decisions, perform management functions, nor can we audit our
own work or provide nonaudit services that are significant to the subject matter of the audit.
Please be aware that e-mail is not a secure method of transmitting data. It can be intercepted, read, and
possibly changed. Due to the large volume of e-mails sent daily, the likelihood of someone intercepting
your e-mail is relatively small, but it does exist. We will communicate with you via e-mail, if you are
willing to accept this risk.
To ensure that MMKR's independence is not impaired under the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct,
you agree to inform the engagement partner before entering into any substantive employment discussions
with any of our personnel.
If a dispute occurs related in any way to our services, our firm and the City agree to discuss the dispute
and, if necessary,to promptly mediate in a good faith effort to resolve it. We will agree on a mediator,but
if we cannot, either of us may apply to a court having personal jurisdiction over the parties for
appointment of a mediator. We will share the mediator's fees and expenses equally, but otherwise will
bear our own attorney fees and costs of the mediation. Participation in such mediation shall be a condition
to either of us initiating litigation. To allow time for the mediation, any applicable statute of limitations

STATE OF MINNESOTA
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
AUTHORIZED AGENCY
This agreement is between the State of Minnesota, acting through its Department of Public Safety, Bureau of
Criminal Apprehension ("BCA") and the City of Golden Valley on behalf of its Police Department ("Agency").
Recitals
Under Minn. Stat. § 471.59, the BCA and the Agency are empowered to engage in those agreements that are
necessary to exercise their powers. Under Minn. Stat. § 299C.46 the BCA must provide a criminal justice data
communications network to benefit authorized agencies in Minnesota. The Agency is authorized by law to
utilize the criminal justice data communications network pursuant to the terms set out in this agreement. In
addition, BCA either maintains repositories of data or has access to repositories of data that benefit authorized
agencies in performing their duties. Agency wants to access these data in support of its official duties.
The purpose of this Agreement is to create a method by which the Agency has access to those systems and tools
for which it has eligibility, and to memorialize the requirements to obtain access and the limitations on the
access.
Agreement
1.Term of Agreement
1.1 Effective date:This Agreement is effective on the date the BCA obtains all required signatures under
Minn. Stat. § 16C.05, subdivision 2.
1.2 Expiration date:This Agreement expires five years from the date it is effective.
2.Agreement between the Parties
2.1 General access.BCA agrees to provide Agency with access to the Minnesota Criminal Justice Data
Communications Network (CJDN) and those systems and tools which the Agency is authorized by law to
access via the CJDN for the purposes outlined in Minn. Stat. § 299C.46.
2.2 Methods of access.
The BCA offers three (3) methods of access to its systems and tools. The methods of access are:
A.Direct access occurs when individual users at the Agency use Agency’s equipment to access the
BCA’s systems and tools. This is generally accomplished by an individual user entering a query into one
of BCA’s systems or tools.
B.Indirect access occurs when individual users at the Agency go to another Agency to obtain data and
information from BCA’s systems and tools. This method of access generally results in the Agency with
indirect access obtaining the needed data and information in a physical format like a paper report.
C.Computer-to-computer system interface occurs when Agency’s computer exchanges data and
information with BCA’s computer systems and tools using an interface. Without limitation, interface
types include: state message switch, web services, enterprise service bus and message queuing.
For purposes of this Agreement, Agency employees or contractors may use any of these methods to use
BCA’s systems and tools as described in this Agreement. Agency will select a method of access and can
change the methodology following the process in Clause 2.10.
2.3 Federal systems access.In addition, pursuant to 28 CFR §20.30-38 and Minn. Stat. §299C.58, BCA
may provide Agency with access to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Crime Information
Center.
SWIFT Contract # 109619
MN0270800

2.4 Agency policies.Both the BCA and the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Systems (FBI-CJIS) have
policies, regulations and laws on access, use, audit, dissemination, hit confirmation, logging, quality
assurance, screening (pre-employment), security, timeliness, training, use of the system,and validation.
Agency has created its own policies to ensure that Agency’s employees and contractors comply with all
applicable requirements. Agency ensures this compliance through appropriate enforcement. These BCA and
FBI-CJIS policies and regulations, as amended and updated from time to time, are incorporated into this
Agreement by reference. The policies are available at https://app.dps.mn.gov/cjdn.
2.5 Agency resources.To assist Agency in complying with the federal and state requirements on access to
and use of the various systems and tools, information is available at
https://sps.x.state.mn.us/sites/bcaservicecatalog/default.aspx. Additional information on appropriate use is
found in the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Policy on Appropriate Use of Systems and Data
available at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-divisions/mnjis/Documents/BCA-Policy-on-Appropriate-
Use-of-Systems-and-Data.pdf.
2.6 Access granted.
A. Agency is granted permission to use all current and future BCA systems and tools for which Agency
is eligible. Eligibility is dependent on Agency (i) satisfying all applicable federal or state statutory
requirements; (ii) complying with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) acceptance by BCA of
Agency’s written request for use of a specific system or tool.
B. To facilitate changes in systems and tools, Agency grants its Authorized Representative authority to
make written requests for those systems and tools provided by BCA that the Agency needs to meet its
criminal justice obligations and for which Agency is eligible.
2.7 Future access.On written request by Agency, BCA also may provide Agency with access to those
systems or tools which may become available after the signing of this Agreement, to the extent that the
access is authorized by applicable state and federal law. Agency agrees to be bound by the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement that when utilizing new systems or tools provided under this
Agreement.
2.8 Limitations on access.BCA agrees that it will comply with applicable state and federal laws when
making information accessible. Agency agrees that it will comply with applicable state and federal laws
when accessing, entering, using, disseminating, and storing data. Each party is responsible for its own
compliance with the most current applicable state and federal laws.
2.9 Supersedes prior agreements.This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements between the
BCA and the Agency regarding access to and use of systems and tools provided by BCA.
2.10 Requirement to update information.The parties agree that if there is a change to any of the
information whether required by law or this Agreement, the party will send the new information to the other
party in writing within 30 days of the change. This clause does not apply to changes in systems or tools
provided under this Agreement.
This requirement to give notice additionally applies to changes in the individual or organization serving a
city as its prosecutor. Any change in performance of the prosecutorial function must be provided to the BCA
in writing by giving notice to the Service Desk,BCA.ServiceDesk@state.mn.us.
2.11 Transaction record.The BCA creates and maintains a transaction record for each exchange of data
utilizing its systems and tools. In order to meet FBI-CJIS requirements and to perform the audits described
in Clause 7, there must be a method of identifying which individual users at the Agency conducted a
particular transaction.
If Agency uses either direct access as described in Clause 2.2A or indirect access as described in Clause
SWIFT Contract # 109619
MN0270800
3
2.2B, BCA’s transaction record meets FBI-CJIS requirements.
When Agency’s method of access is a computer to computer interface as described in Clause 2.2C, the
Agency must keep a transaction record sufficient to satisfy FBI-CJIS requirements and permit the audits
described in Clause 7 to occur.
If an Agency accesses data from the Driver and Vehicle Services Division in the Minnesota Department of
Public Safety and keeps a copy of the data, Agency must have a transaction record of all subsequent access
to the data that are kept by the Agency. The transaction record must include the individual user who
requested access, and the date, time and content of the request. The transaction record must also include the
date, time and content of the response along with the destination to which the data were sent. The
transaction record must be maintained for a minimum of six (6) years from the date the transaction occurred
and must be made available to the BCA within one (1) business day of the BCA’s request.
2.12 Court information access.Certain BCA systems and tools that include access to and/or submission of

more BCA systems and tools to access and/or submit Court Records to assist the Agency in the
efficient performance of its duties as required or authorized by law or court rule. Court desires to

Amendment with or without cause by giving written notice to all other parties. The effective date
of the termination shall be thirty days after the other party's receipt of the notice of termination,
unless a later date is specified in the notice. The provisions of sections 5 through 9, 12.b., 12.c.,
and 15 through 24 shall survive any termination of this Subscriber Amendment as shall any other

e.That, notwithstanding any federal or state law applicable to the nondisclosure
obligations of Subscriber and Subscriber’s bona fide personnel under this Subscriber

6. APPLICABILITY TO PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED COURT RECORDS.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that all Authorized Court Data Services and related Court
Records disclosed to Subscriber prior to the effective date of this Subscriber Amendment shall be

5
7. LICENSE AND PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.During the term
of this Subscriber Amendment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Court hereby
grants to Subscriber a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to use Court Data Services
Programs and Court Data Services Databases to access or receive the Authorized Court Data
Services identified in an approved request form under section 3, above, and related Court
Records. Court reserves the right to make modifications to the Authorized Court Data Services,
Court Data Services Programs, and Court Data Services Databases, and related materials without
notice to Subscriber. These modifications shall be treated in all respects as their previous
counterparts.
a. Court Data Services Programs.Court is the copyright owner and licensor of
the Court Data Services Programs. The combination of ideas, procedures, processes,
systems, logic, coherence and methods of operation embodied within the Court Data
Services Programs, and all information contained in documentation pertaining to the
Court Data Services Programs, including but not limited to manuals, user documentation,
and passwords, are trade secret information of Court and its licensors.
b. Court Data Services Databases.Court is the copyright owner and licensor of
the Court Data Services Databases and of all copyrightable aspects and components
thereof. All specifications and information pertaining to the Court Data Services
Databases and their structure, sequence and organization, including without limitation
data schemas such as the Court XML Schema, are trade secret information of Court and
its licensors.
c. Marks.Subscriber shall neither have nor claim any right, title, or interest in or
use of any trademark used in connection with Authorized Court Data Services, including
but not limited to the marks “MNCIS” and “Odyssey.”
d. Restrictions on Duplication, Disclosure, and Use.Trade secret information
of Court and its licensors will be treated by Subscriber in the same manner as Court
Confidential Information. In addition, Subscriber will not copy any part of the Court Data
Services Programs or Court Data Services Databases, or reverse engineer or otherwise
attempt to discern the source code of the Court Data Services Programs or Court Data
Services Databases, or use any trademark of Court or its licensors, in any way or for any
purpose not specifically and expressly authorized by this Subscriber Amendment. As
used herein, "trade secret information of Court and its licensors" means any information
possessed by Court which derives independent economic value from not being generally
known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can
obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. "Trade secret information of Court and
its licensors" does not, however, include information which was known to Subscriber
prior to Subscriber’s receipt thereof, either directly or indirectly, from Court or its
licensors, information which is independently developed by Subscriber without reference
to or use of information received from Court or its licensors, or information which would
not qualify as a trade secret under Minnesota law. It will not be a violation of this section
7, sub-section d, for Subscriber to make up to one copy of training materials and
configuration documentation, if any, for each individual authorized to access, use, or
configure Authorized Court Data Services, solely for its own use in connection with this
Subscriber Amendment. Subscriber will take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the
copyright, trade secret, and trademark rights of Court and its licensors and Subscriber
will advise its bona fide personnel who are permitted access to any of the Court Data
6
Services Programs and Court Data Services Databases, and trade secret information of
Court and its licensors, of the restrictions upon duplication, disclosure and use contained
in this Subscriber Amendment.
e. Proprietary Notices.Subscriber will not remove any copyright or proprietary
notices included in and/or on the Court Data Services Programs or Court Data Services
Databases, related documentation, or trade secret information of Court and its licensors,
or any part thereof, made available by Court directly or through the BCA, if any, and
Subscriber will include in and/or on any copy of the Court Data Services Programs or
Court Data Services Databases, or trade secret information of Court and its licensors and
any documents pertaining thereto, the same copyright and other proprietary notices as
appear on the copies made available to Subscriber by Court directly or through the BCA,
except that copyright notices shall be updated and other proprietary notices added as may
be appropriate.
f. Title; Return.The Court Data Services Programs and Court Data Services
Databases, and related documentation, including but not limited to training and
configuration material, if any, and logon account information and passwords, if any,
made available by the Court to Subscriber directly or through the BCA and all copies,
including partial copies, thereof are and remain the property of the respective licensor.
Except as expressly provided in section 12.b., within ten days of the effective date of
termination of this Subscriber Amendment or the CJDN Subscriber Agreement or within
ten days of a request for termination of Authorized Court Data Service as described in
section 4, Subscriber shall either: (i) uninstall and return any and all copies of the
applicable Court Data Services Programs and Court Data Services Databases, and related
documentation, including but not limited to training and configuration materials, if any,
and logon account information, if any; or (2) destroy the same and certify in writing to
the Court that the same have been destroyed.
8. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Subscriber acknowledges that the Court, Court’s licensors,
and DCA will be irreparably harmed if Subscriber’s obligations under this Subscriber
Amendment are not specifically enforced and that the Court, Court’s licensors, and DCA would
not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened violation by
Subscriber of its obligations. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Court, Court’s licensors, and
DCA shall be entitled to an injunction or any appropriate decree of specific performance for any
actual or threatened violations or breaches by Subscriber or its bona fide personnel without the
necessity of the Court, Court’s licensors, or DCA showing actual damages or that monetary
damages would not afford an adequate remedy. Unless Subscriber is an office, officer, agency,
department, division, or bureau of the state of Minnesota, Subscriber shall be liable to the Court,
Court’s licensors, and DCA for reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Court, Court’s
licensors, and DCA in obtaining any relief pursuant to this Subscriber Amendment.
9. LIABILITY.Subscriber and the Court agree that, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, each party will be responsible for its own acts and the results thereof to the
extent authorized by law and shall not be responsible for the acts of any others and the results
thereof. Liability shall be governed by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, liability
of the Court and any Subscriber that is an office, officer, agency, department, division, or bureau
of the state of Minnesota shall be governed by the provisions of the Minnesota Tort Claims Act,
Minnesota Statutes, section 3.376, and other applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if
Subscriber is a political subdivision of the state of Minnesota, liability of the Subscriber shall be
7
governed by the provisions of Minn. Stat. Ch. 466 (Tort Liability, Political Subdivisions) or
other applicable law. Subscriber and Court further acknowledge that the liability, if any, of the
BCA is governed by a separate agreement between the Court and the BCA dated December 13,
2010 with DPS-M -0958.
10. AVAILABILITY.Specific terms of availability shall be established by the Court and
communicated to Subscriber by the Court and/or the BCA. The Court reserves the right to
terminate this Subscriber Amendment immediately and/or temporarily suspend Subscriber’s
Authorized Court Data Services in the event the capacity of any host computer system or
legislative appropriation of funds is determined solely by the Court to be insufficient to meet the
computer needs of the courts served by the host computer system.
11. [reserved]
12. ADDITIONAL USER OBLIGATIONS.The obligations of the Subscriber set forth
in this section are in addition to the other obligations of the Subscriber set forth elsewhere in this
Subscriber Amendment.
a.Judicial Policy Statement.Subscriber agrees to comply with all policies
identified in Policies & Notices applicable to Court Records accessed by Subscriber using
Authorized Court Data Services. Upon failure of the Subscriber to comply with such
policies, the Court shall have the option of immediately suspending the Subscriber’s
Authorized Court Data Services on a temporary basis and/or immediately terminating this
Subscriber Amendment.
b.Access and Use; Log.Subscriber shall be responsible for all access to and use
of Authorized Court Data Services and Court Records by Subscriber’s bona fide
personnel or by means of Subscriber’s equipment or passwords, whether or not
Subscriber has knowledge of or authorizes such access and use. Subscriber shall also
maintain a log identifying all persons to whom Subscriber has disclosed its Court
Confidential Security and Activation Information, such as user ID(s) and password(s),
including the date of such disclosure. Subscriber shall maintain such logs for a minimum
period of six years from the date of disclosure, and shall provide the Court with access to,
and copies of, such logs upon request. The Court may conduct audits of Subscriber’s logs
and use of Authorized Court Data Services and Court Records from time to time. Upon
Subscriber’s failure to maintain such logs, to maintain accurate logs, or to promptly
provide access by the Court to such logs, the Court may terminate this Subscriber
Amendment without prior notice to Subscriber.
c.Personnel.Subscriber agrees to investigate, at the request of the Court and/or
the BCA, allegations of misconduct pertaining to Subscriber’s bona fide personnel having
access to or use of Authorized Court Data Services, Court Confidential Information, or
trade secret information of the Court and its licensors where such persons are alleged to
have violated the provisions of this Subscriber Amendment, Policies & Notices, Judicial
Branch policies, or other security requirements or laws regulating access to the Court
Records.
d.Minnesota Data Practices Act Applicability. If Subscriber is a Minnesota
Government entity that is subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act,
Minn. Stat. Ch. 13, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that: (1) the Court is not subject
8
to Minn. Stat. Ch. 13 (see section 13.90) but is subject to the Rules of Public Access and

other rules promulgated by the Minnesota Supreme Court for access to Court Records
provided via the BCA systems and tools under this Subscriber Amendment; (3) the use of

agency, or bureau of the state of Minnesota, Subscriber shall pay the fees, if any, set forth in
applicable Policies & Notices, together with applicable sales, use or other taxes. Applicable
monthly fees commence ten (10) days after notice of approval of the request pursuant to section
3 of this Subscriber Amendment or upon the initial Subscriber transaction as defined in the
Policies & Notices, whichever occurs earlier. When fees apply, the Court shall invoice
Subscriber on a monthly basis for charges incurred in the preceding month and applicable taxes,
if any, and payment of all amounts shall be due upon receipt of invoice. If all amounts are not
paid within 30 days of the date of the invoice, the Court may immediately cancel this Subscriber
Amendment without notice to Subscriber and pursue all available legal remedies. Subscriber
certifies that funds have been appropriated for the payment of charges under this Subscriber

Recommended Action
Motion to adopt Resolution Relating to the Financing of Capital Equipment; Establishing
Compliance with Reimbursement Bond Regulations under the Internal Revenue Code.
Resolution 16-82 December 20, 2016
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE FINANCING OF CAPITAL EQUIPMENT;
ESTABLISHING COMPLIANCE WITH REIMBURSEMENT BOND
REGULATIONS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the
“City”), as follows:
1. Recitals.
(a) The Internal Revenue Service has issued Section 1.150-2 of the Income Tax
Regulations (the “Regulations”) dealing with the issuance of bonds all or a portion
of the proceeds of which are to be used to reimburse the City for project
expenditures made by the City prior to the date of issuance.
(b) The Regulations generally require that the City make a declaration of its official
intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of a
subsequently issued series of bonds within 60 days after payment of the
expenditures, that the bonds be issued and the reimbursement allocation be made
from the proceeds of such bonds within the reimbursement period (as defined in the
Regulations), and that the expenditures reimbursed be capital expenditures or costs
of issuance of the bonds.
(c) The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations with respect to the
projects hereinafter identified.
2. Official Intent Declaration.
(a) The City proposes to acquire certain capital equipment described on Exhibit A
hereto (the “Project”), and to make original expenditures with respect thereto prior
to the issuance of reimbursement bonds, and reasonably expects to issue
reimbursement bonds for the Project, in one or more series, in an amount not to
exceed $1,000,000.
(b) Other than (i) de minimis amounts permitted to be reimbursed pursuant to Section
1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations or (ii) expenditures constituting preliminary
expenditures as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, the City will not
seek reimbursement for any original expenditures with respect to the foregoing
Project paid more than 60 days prior to the date of adoption of this resolution. All
original expenditures for which reimbursement is sought will be capital expenditures
or costs of issuance of the reimbursement bonds.
Resolution 16-82 -2- December 20, 2016
3. Budgetary Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved, pledged,
allocated on a long term basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be
reserved, pledged, allocated on a long term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide
permanent financing for the original expenditures related to the Project, other than
pursuant to the issuance of the reimbursement bonds. Consequently, it is not expected
that the issuance of the reimbursement bonds will result in the creation of any
replacement proceeds.
4. Reimbursement Allocations. The City's Finance Director shall be responsible for making
the “reimbursement allocations” described in the Regulations, being generally the
transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the reimbursement bonds to
reimburse the source of temporary financing used by the City to make payment of the
original expenditures relating to the Project. Each reimbursement allocation shall be
made within 30 days of the date of issuance of the reimbursement bonds, shall be
evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained for the
reimbursement bonds and shall specifically identify the original expenditures being
reimbursed.

1. Medicine Lake Rd/Winnetka Ave Regional
Flood Mitigation Through DNR Flood Damage
Reduction Program
Issue
The Medicine Lake Rd (County Rd 70)/Winnetka Ave(County Rd 156)area receives storm water
runoff from a one-square-mile watershed that includes portions of Crystal,New Hope,and Golden
Valley.Since this area was developed in the 1970s,it has experienced flooding issues that affect
more than 37 properties and several local and regional roadways.The three cities have studied
and determined measures to minimize flood-related property damage around the nearby DeCola
Ponds and along Medicine Lake Rd near Rhode Island Ave.
Flooding on Medicine Lake Rd,which carries an average of 10,000 vehicles per day and where sev-
eral businesses have been damaged by floods,can reach depths exceeding 4 feet,making travel
and emergency response difficult or impossible.During multiple flood events beginning in 1978,
water depths up to 6 feet caused extensive property damage.
A solution is to provide additional flood storage at DeCola Ponds and develop flood storage
throughout the watershed to slow the flow of water to the flood prone areas,thus reducing flood
levels.When the plan is fully implemented, improved levels on Medicine Lake Rd will allow emer-
gency access and significantly reduce or eliminate flood damage to homes and businesses.
It will cost an estimated $22.5 million to correct these problems.Funding from the Department of
Natural Resources Flood Damage Reduction Program will allow the three cities to coordinate to
minimize flooding,keep Medicine Lake Rd passable for emergency vehicles, reduce and eliminate
flood damage to homes and businesses, and allow for redevelopment in the area.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley is requesting legislative approval of funds through the Flood Damage
Reduction Program to implement public improvements within the DeCola Ponds and Medicine
Lake Road watershed.These projects would include improvements within the Cities of Crystal,
New Hope and Golden Valley and would include flood storage,subwatershed diversion,and run-
off rate control projects.

2. Public Safety Improvements At Douglas Drive/
State Highway 55
Issue
The City of Golden Valley and Hennepin County are currently reconstructing about 1.75 miles of
Douglas Drive north of Highway 55, including numerous pedestrian-friendly facilities(on-street
bike lanes,off-street trails,off-street sidewalks)at a cost of$23 million.Major problems will still
exist at the Highway 55/Douglas Drive intersection because no funding is available to correct
them.
Problem:Pedestrians must cross seven lanes of Highway 55 traffic to reach businesses,schools,
and other area amenities.Also,the Luce line regional trail just north of Highway 55 brings many
recreational bikers and joggers to the area.
Solution:A new underpass culvert crossing for pedestrians/bikes would be ADA compliant and
would connect the south frontage road to Douglas Drive(at location of new metro transit drop-off
site),enabling safe passage for walkers and bikers.
Problem:The south frontage road is too close to Highway 55,and vehicles don't have room to
queue at intersection.Significant back-ups occur,and it can take numerous signal cycles to get
through.
Solution:Extending the throat of the intersection will provide more queuing capacity for vehicles
at the intersection,thus moving more vehicles through in a shorter amount of time.A roundabout
will eliminate the stop conditions at south frontage road and allow the intersection to quickly
dissipate the queue.
It will cost an estimated $6 million to correct these problems.Funding from the State would allow
the City and County to coordinate the intersection project with the Douglas Drive project at
significantly lower cost and less disruption to the driving public.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley seeks funding to improve operations,safety,and mobility at the inter-
section of Highway 55 and Douglas Drive.Future improvements would better accommodate
vehicles,pedestrians,transit,etc.

3. Infrastructure
Issue
Infrastructure comprises all the basic structures and facilities that make a society habitable--sys-
tems for water supply,sanitary sewer management,storm water and flood control,and transpor-
tation,to start.In short,infrastructure is about the things that we need to live,and all across the
United States,these aging systems are in need of repair and/or replacement.
Golden Valley, like most cities in Minnesota and the nation at large, is facing a looming infrastruc-
ture crisis.One reason this has become so pressing is most of the infrastructure in question is out
of sight,out of mind,so it's easy to keep putting it off.People often take these systems for grant-
ed,until they stop working.
For example,when you flush your toilet, how often do you think about where the contents go?
How it's cleaned?When you turn on your faucet,do you consider where the fresh water comes
from?What transports it?Do you ever wonder how those systems are maintained?How old they
a re?
The majority of the unseen infrastructure we use daily was installed when communities were first
developed.In Golden Valley,not only is it a half a century or more old, but as populations grow,it's
taking on service demands it was not built to handle.Right now,that infrastructure is maintained
and patched up as problems arise.Clamps are placed on holes in pipes, but that just moves the
problem farther down.Eventually,the entire pipe has to be replaced.
While replacing pipes saves a large amount of money in the long run,the single up-front cost is
significantly higher than the annual costs of just patching it up,year after year.And those lower
costs can seem appealing when you don't think about how much they add up.
Like most state municipalities,the City of Golden Valley has recognized this oncoming infrastruc-
ture crisis and is developing plans to prevent it.And it's not just sewer and water systems. It's
roads and bridges,effective police and fire equipment,and 60-year-old government buildings.
It's outdated construction equipment,dump trucks,computers, mowers,play structures,and park
shelters.
Rebuilding and renewing this infrastructure is not just crucial for our quality of life,but also for the
quality of life of generations to come.The long-term goal to keep taxes and utility expenses lower
than they inevitably would be if this infrastructure problem is allowed to grow into a full-blown
crisis.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley supports dedicating more resources to all components of the state's in-
frastructure systems and ensuring local units of government have access to resources and funding
tools to meet growing needs.

4. Update Fiscal Disparities Formula
Issue
Since enacted in 1971 and implemented in 1975,Fiscal Disparities has required cities to share a portion of their
commercial/industrial tax base growth with other jurisdictions.The contribution amount is based on the relative
fiscal capacity of each community,which is measured by the market value per capita. Because Golden Valley has
a high fiscal capacity,it contributes more to the pool than it receives.
The Minnesota Fiscal Disparities Program was set up to:
• share resources produced by growth of the metro area
• make orderly development more likely by reducing competition for tax base
• work within the existing power of local government and local decision making
• give incentives for all to work for growth of the seven county metro area as a whole
• help communities in different stages of development and redevelopment
• encourage environmental protection
To meet these goals,each taxing jurisdiction annually contributes 40 percent of the growth in its commercial/in-
dustrial tax base for an"area-wide tax base:'Each municipality receives a share of the area-wide tax base through
a formula based on its share of the area's population and its relative property tax wealth (tax base per capita).
The City of Golden Valley understands the program and is aware of the 2012 TischlerBise study stating the pro-
gram is working for most of the seven county metro area.However,Golden Valley believes the program does
not promote revitalization of communities that have high commercial/industrial values and lower populations,
thus creating a significant burden on residential properties in those communities.For example the Met Council's
report of the Fiscal Disparities program for taxes payable in 2015 showed 101 recipients and 78 net contributors.
St Paul received the highest distribution,Bloomington is the highest net loser,and Golden Valley is ninth as a net
loser.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley supports revising Fiscal Disparities to lower the percentage to 30 percent so inner city
metro areas can use the additional amount of property taxes received to help fund needed infrastructure im-
provements,especially around their commercial/industrial areas(most of these cities have infrastructure that was
built before the early'60s and needs to be replaced)

Sa. Establish A Sustainable Formula For Increased
Transportation And Transit Funding
Issue
A well-coordinated state transportation policy using all modes of transportation in moving pas-
sengers and freight will enhance the state economic development of new and expanding busi-
ness as well as foster additional tourism opportunities.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley supports dedicating more resources to all components of the state's
transportation system and ensuring local units of government have access to resources and fund-
ing tools to meet growing needs.
7800 Golden Valley Road,Golden Valley,MN 55427 763-593-8006 Page 7
Sb. METRO Blue Line Extension Funds
Issue
The METRO Blue Line(Bottineau) LRT is planned to enter Golden Valley along the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe(BNSF) Railroad corridor in the south and travel adjacent to the parkland,
residential,and institutional areas on the east side of Golden Valley.Municipal Consent was
reached for all cities along the corridor in early 2016.In addition,the Metropolitan Council
approved the final scope and cost estimate for the project in July.
The Station Area Planning process for two station locations in Golden Valley was completed
in 2015.The Final Environmental Impact Statement for the project was published in 2016 and
identified all environmental impacts associated with the line and proposed mitigation measures.
Engineering issues surrounding the proposed stations,located at the LRT's intersection with
Plymouth Ave and Golden Valley Rd,will continue to be identified in the next phase of work.
The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority,in collaboration with the Metropolitan Council
and the Cities of Golden Valley,Minneapolis,Robbinsdale,Crystal,and Brooklyn Park,continue
to work toward identifying and mitigating issues surrounding the eventual construction and
implementation of the METRO Blue Line Extension LRT.Additional funding for future study and
community outreach efforts is necessary to ensure that the project moves forward.
The METRO Blue Line Extension LRT is part of a broader plan to expand mass transit options in
the Minneapolis/St Paul metropolitan area.As the region continues to grow,investment in an
enhanced transportation network is essential.There are many additional regional transitways
currently under study or development in the region.Increased funding for the development of
light rail transit and bus rapid transit is essential for the growth and well-being of the Minneapolis/
St Paul metropolitan area.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley urges support of light rail transit and bus rapid transit options,and
seeks funding to enhance study and community outreach efforts for issues surrounding the
development of the Bottineau LRT.

Sc. US Highway 169 Improvement Planning
From I-394 To Medicine Lake Rd
Issue
The 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan indicates that no capacity improvements
are planned for the US Highway 169 corridor between 1-394 and 1-94.Travelers experience from
under one hour to up to four hours of congestion daily.Furthermore,since 2002 there have been
more than 1,100 vehicle crashes along the corridor, in which 25 percent resulted in injury and one
crash resulted in a death.The corridor provides access to many businesses,including General Mills,
the Target Corporation,CS McCrossan,St Jude Medical,Select Comfort,Caterpillar,and US Foods,
to name a few.In addition,institutions such as the Hennepin Technical College,the Robbinsdale
School District,and others use the corridor as a primary access.
Improvements to US Highway 169 have occurred north of 1-94.Additional improvements have
been completed at the 1-494 interchange to the south.Since early 2013,City officials have been
meeting with MnDOT staff to define needed transportation improvements along the US Highway
169 corridor and to identify potential funding sources.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley supports funding for the Hwy 169 Improvement Planning to achieve
capacity and safety improvements on Hwy 169 from south of 1-394 to north of Medicine Lake Rd.
7800 Golden Valley Road,Golden Valley,MN 55427 763-593-8006 Page 9
6. Metropolitan Council Inflow/Infiltration
Grants Public And Private Improvements
Issue
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Service's(MCES)Water Resources Management Plan es-
tablished an inflow and infiltration (1/1) surcharge in 2007 on cities determined by MCES to be con-
tributing unacceptable amounts of clear water to the MCES wastewater treatment system.Since
the inception of the surcharge program,50 cities have been identified as excessive 1/1 contributors.
This number is subject to change,depending on rain events,and any city in the metropolitan area
could be affected.
The City of Golden Valley is a leader in the metropolitan area in addressing inflow and infiltration
from public and private sources.The City has made significant investment to address 1/1 issues in
the municipal system. In addition,through the City's Inflow and Infiltration Ordinance,significant
investment has been made by property owners to reduce 1/1 from private sewer services.
City Position
Because 1/1 reduction efforts benefit the entire metropolitan area,the City of Golden Valley sup-
ports the state providing continued capital assistance for grants to cities as well as financial assis-
tance through future Clean Water Legacy Act appropriations.
Additional Documents (See Appendix 6)
• Memo:MCES I&I Grant Benefits-City of Golden Valley(1 page)

7. Oppose Levy Limits
Issue
Levy limits undermine local budgeting processes,planned growth,and the relationship between
locally elected officials and their residents by allowing the state to decide the appropriate level of
local taxation and services,despite varying local conditions and circumstances.
For example,while working on its Capital Improvement Program (CIP),the City of Golden Valley
reviews many revenue sources for financing future needs of the City. Levy limits make it impos-
sible for the City to plan accurately for renewal of its infrastructure without compromising its bond
rating.
City Position
The City of Golden Valley and Metro Cities strongly oppose levy limits.
7800 Golden Valley Road,Golden Valley,MN 55427 763-593-8006 Page 11
8. Affordable Housing And Workforce Housing
Issue
Cities must ensure they provide a full range of housing choices within the community.As cities,
businesses,and the overall economy within the Minneapolis-St Paul region continues to grow,
the need for housing available to those with low and moderate incomes also grows.Failure to
expand housing options will impact the region's ability to attract talent,grow its economy,and
reinvest in itself.
The City of Golden Valley is committed to doing its part to address the need to preserve and
increase housing options for low-and moderate-income earners.The City has participated in the
development of new affordable housing and the rehabilitation of existing housing.The City also is
engaged in discussions through the Regional Council of Mayors around collective and individual
City actions to increase housing options.Currently,as part of its Comprehensive Plan update,the
City is gathering housing data,investigating housing preservation and development tools,and
will set forth housing policies and goals in its plan.
While a number of policy and financial tools exist to support both the preservation and construc-
tion of new affordable housing,refinement and expansion of these tools is critical to address our
region's housing needs. Examples of areas where State policies can further promote the invest-
ment in affordable housing include:
• modifying TIF statutes to clearly enable pooling of TIF revenue for affordable housing
• establishing a statewide notification requirement for rental properties prior to ownership
transfer
• increasing funding for the State's rental rehab loan fund and including use of the fund in the
metro region
• enhancing State programs, policies,and funding allocations to promote and finance the pres-
ervation and construction of affordable housing
City Position
The City of Golden Valley supports additional tools for local communities to develop affordable
and workforce housing.
Page 12 City of Golden Valley�`�2017 LegislativePriorities
9. Support Tax Incentives For Community
Reinvestment
Issue
Golden Valley has aging residential and commercial structures that are in need of repair and rein-
vestment. Reinvestment prevents neighborhoods from falling into disrepair,revitalizes community,
and protects the tax base.
Historically,the state has funded programs to promote reinvestment in communities, including the
"This Old House"program (which allowed owners of older homestead property to defer an increase
in their tax capacity resulting from repairs or improvements to the home)and "This Old Shop"(for
owners of older commercial/Industrial property who make improvements that increase the prop-
erty's market value).
City Position
Golden Valley supports state programs and incentives for reinvestment in older residential and
commercial/industrial buildings,such as, but not limited to,tax credits and/or property tax defer-
rals.

Subject: MCES I&I Grant Benefits—City of Golden Valley
The City of Golden Valley has utilized funding from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services
(MCES) Grant Programs to reduce Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) in both the public and private sewer
systems over the past several years. The public grants have provided additional funding to allow
expanded scopes on projects and decreased timelines on I&I reduction programs. For example, as part
of the annual street reconstruction projects, we have been able to increase sewer lining and manhole
sealing quantities with the extra grant money that was available. Also, we were able to expedite a five
to seven year sanitary sewer manhole cover replacement program into four years with additional
funding from MCES.
The 2013-2014 MCES private sewer grant allowed residents to repair their sanitary sewer lateral and
be reimbursed by MCES at 33%of the repair cost up to $2,000. The available funding through this
grant was so popular that City staff had to turn away applicants. Nearly 300 properties applied for the
grant over the two year period. This reimbursement opportunity from MCES led to an increase in I&I
compliance with the City Ordinance. The Ordinance requires all properties to become compliant prior
to the sale of a property. This allows the City to gradually reduce I&I in the private system. The grant
money attracted interest from properties all over the City, including people who were not selling their
home. This extra interest in becoming I&I compliant from the available MCES grant funding helped
propel the City forward in their I&I mitigation efforts.
The public and private grants provided by MCES have helped to lower Golden Valley's annual sanitary
sewer flows over the past five years. The public grant has allowed for more thorough I&I reduction to
be done with street reconstruction projects and I&I mitigation programs whereas the private grant
increased interest in becoming compliant with the City's I&I Ordinance. The additional funding from
MCES has pushed Golden Valley ahead in their goal to reduce I&I in the sanitary sewer system.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
December 20, 2016
Agenda Item
6. B. Authorization to Sign Golden Valley Community Foundation Memorandum of Understanding
Prepared By
Timothy Cruikshank, City Manager
Summary
As discussed at the December 2016 Council/Manager meeting the Council directed staff to place the
Golden Valley Community Foundation Memorandum of Understanding for approval.
Attachments
•Golden Valley Community Foundation Memorandum of Understanding (4 pages)
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the City Manager sign the Golden Valley Community Foundation Memorandum of
Understanding.
Memorandum of Understanding
Between City of Golden Valley and Golden Valley Community Foundation
BACKGROUND
At the July 2016 Council/Manager meeting, the City Council created a committee to
evaluate opportunities for furthering the relationship between the Golden Valley
Community Foundation (“Foundation”) and the City of Golden Valley (“City”). Mayor
Shep Harris, Finance Director Sue Virnig, Parks & Recreation Director Rick Birno, and
City Manager Tim Cruikshank represented the City and Linda Loomis, Dean Penk, John
Kluchka, and Jeffrey Prottas represented the Foundation. After meeting in August and
October, the group created this document for consideration by the City Council and the
Foundation’s governing board.
MISSION
The mission of furthering the relationship between the City and Foundation is to
increase and best leverage the Foundation’s capacity to have a positive impact on the
Golden Valley community through the services it provides and work it performs, and
thereby improve the welfare of the community as a whole. It is understood that a
positive and collaborative relationship between the City and Foundation increases the
Foundation’s capacity, which in turn benefits the City and the community. The
Foundation uses philanthropy, community initiatives and funding support to address the
changing needs and interests of GV neighbors and friends.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to clarify the relationship between the City and
Foundation.
STATEMENT
The City recognizes that the Foundation’s work improves the general welfare of the
Golden Valley community, reduces the administrative and financial burden on City
government and results in delivery of services to the community that the City may not
otherwise have the resources or capacity to deliver. The City believes in the role of a
community foundation and respects the Foundation’s history and accomplishments. The
City appreciates the desire of the Foundation to strive to have an even greater impact in
Golden Valley for the overall good and well-being of the community, residents, and
businesses.
OFFICE SPACE
The City agrees to lease office space to the Foundation effective June 1, 2017. The
space will be the area located across from the DMV in the lower level of City Hall. It is
19’2” by 12’3” or approximately 228 square feet. The 2016 annual market value of this
office space is $18/sq. ft. or $4,104. This is net rent which includes taxes and utilities, as
provided by the County Assessor. The Foundation will be responsible for its own office
services and equipment, including phone number/system, computers, mailbox, office
furniture, copier, fax, and the like. The Foundation will collaborate with the City on
appropriate signage on and/or adjacent to the office door.
The consideration to be provided to the City by the Foundation in return for the office
space includes that the Foundation will be responsible for, in full or in substantial part,
the Market in the Valley Farmers’ Market (or similar program/event) between June and
October and the annual Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival (or similar program/event).
The City believes these two events are important to the welfare of the community. If not
for the Foundation’s responsibility for these two events, the City would need to and
would choose to operate these events itself, and the cost to the City of doing so would
exceed the market value of the leased space. The City recognizes that the Foundation
may now and in the future operate and provide additional events, programs and
services that benefit the community beyond those two listed above.
The office space will be provided to the Foundation under a formal lease agreement,
with a month-to-month term and the City providing at least 90-days’ notice prior to any
termination. Terms of the lease shall address issues of access and insurance, along
with other customary lease terms determined by the City. With regard to access, the
Foundation will have access to City Hall during normal business hours. The City will set
specific times for after-hours access and will control access to City Hall via electronic
keycard for these times. This will be done for safety and liability reasons. Access will
only be allowed to City Hall for purposes of utilizing the Foundation’s leased space. With
regard to insurance, the Foundation must be insured and the City must be listed as an
additional insured on the policy or in the form of a rider.
BROOKVIEW COMMUNITY CENTER
The City is developing a policy for the use of community space in the new Brookview
Community Center (“Brookview”) by private groups like the Foundation. The City
expects the policy will generally provide that service organizations using the facility for
not-for-profit uses will likely not pay a room rental fee. However, no outside food or
beverage will be allowed to be brought in and therefore any food or beverage service
would be required to be purchased from Brookview or one of its authorized vendors.
COMMUNICATIONS/ADVERTISING
The City will incorporate the Foundation into its Facebook page, website, publications
and electronic billboard in the following manner:
1. The City website will include a link to the Foundation website on the “About Golden
Valley” page and will include links to Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts
& Music Festival on the “Community Events” page. Both events will also be included
on the website City Calendar. On the website home page news feed, the City will
promote Market in the Valley twice before opening day, once before closing day, and
up to three times during the season for special event days at the Market. Promotion
will consist of a brief description of the Market or event followed by a link to the
Market in the Valley website. On the website home page news feed, the City will
promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival twice before the event. Promotion
will consist of a brief story featuring event highlights followed by a link to the Golden
Valley Arts & Music Festival website.
2. The City Facebook page will “Like” and “Follow” the Foundation Facebook page.
The City will share Market in the Valley Facebook posts to the City Facebook page
to promote Market in the Valley twice before opening day, once before closing day,
and up to three times during the season for special event days at the Market. The
City will share Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival Facebook posts to the City
Facebook page to promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival twice before the
event. The City will select which event posts to share when multiple options are
available, and may coordinate selections with the Foundation.
3. The City electronic billboard will promote Market in the Valley starting one month
before opening day and throughout the season until closing day. The City electronic
billboard will promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival starting one month
before the event. Other Foundation events will be promoted on the electronic
billboard upon request by the Foundation as long as the event complies with the
City’s electronic billboard policy.
4. The City will list Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival,
with links to the respective websites, on the “Upcoming Events” page in the editions
of Golden Valley CityNews that precede the events. During the inaugural year of this
agreement, the City will provide one news story about the agreement in CityNews as
space allows. The City will provide space in its Recreation Activities Catalog to
promote Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival in the
issue preceding each event. Promotions will be sized as space allows, and finished
artwork must be provided by the Foundation.
5. Callers/customers to City Hall for the Foundation or its programs/events will be given
the Foundation’s contact information.
There will be no interference with daily City administrative operations or administrative
requests made of City staff by the Foundation. All contact related to new requests or
coordination from Foundation representatives to city staff must be initiated through the
City Manager’s office.
PUBLIC ART
The City and Foundation will work collaboratively to create a process for the
advancement of more public art within the community. To the extent any art installations
involve expenditure of City funds or the installation is located on City property or public
right of-way, the City shall have final approval on the art itself and its placement.
EVENTS
The Foundation shall support and/or carry out the following events (or similar
program/event):
Market in the Valley Farmers’ Market, Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival (including the
City’s photo contest awards presentation as part of this event), and the Envision Award.
MEMBERSHIP AND VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT
The City agrees to include on its Boards and Commissions application form a brief
summary of Foundation opportunities and an authorization for the City to share an
applicant’s contact information with the Foundation for the purposes of promoting
participation in the Foundation’s Board or Teams. The form of the authorization will be
determined by the City and an applicant’s decision whether to provide such
authorization will be voluntary.
CITY FUNDING/GRANTS FROM FOUNDATION
The City and Foundation will work collaboratively to streamline the process by which
funds specifically donated to the Foundation for the purposes of funding a City project
(for example: park equipment) are delivered to the City.
FUNDRAISING
The City recognizes fundraising is a critical aspect of what the Foundation does.
However, the City will not solicit funds on behalf of the Foundation, including through
any of its communication tools. The Foundation acknowledges City officials will need to
consider both real and perceived conflicts of interest arising from any involvement they
may have in the Foundation’s fundraising activities, and such conflicts may limit or
prevent their participation in such activities.
ANNUAL MEETING
A meeting between the City and the Foundation Board representatives will occur at
least annually at Council/Manager meetings designated by the City.
TERMS
The terms of this Memorandum are subject to annual review by both parties with any
changes to be agreed upon by both parties in writing. Termination of the agreement
may be initiated by either party and implemented after 90 days’ written notice to the
other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Memorandum of Understanding has been agreed to and
executed by the duly authorized representatives of the City and the Foundation,
effective as of _________________, 2016.
