minutes as amended. Motion carried unanimously.
5. Glenview Terrace Park Tennis Courts
Birno opened by giving an update on the history of the courts and how they have become into
disrepair.
Cornelius opened the meeting for public input. Residents expressed concerns on the loss of the tennis
courts as well as the following:
- Lack of tennis court maintenance for over two years.
- The City’s plans for future community amenities and that selection process.
- Don’t want the neighborhood to be forgotten.
- Better communication with neighborhood residents with regards to changes at Glenview.
- Keeping their neighborhood active with a park that only has a playground.
- Other Golden Valley parks seem to get preferential treatment.
- Who decided the tennis courts were no longer able to be resurfaced or maintained.
Residents suggested meeting with city representatives to discuss desires for youth and adults in the
Glenview Park area.
Birno explained that the city does not randomly select park improvements. He said park
improvements are generally implemented based on recommendations from the Open Space and
Recreation Commission on a worst first basis due to fiscal limitations.
Sanberg encouraged the neighborhood to stay engaged and to reach out.
Birno noted that there has been no formal planning for future improvements at Glenview Terrace
Park. Comprehensive planning is in process for all parks and open spaces in Golden Valley, however,
Open Space & Recreation Commission Minutes
October 23, 2017
Page 2
the City Council has not reviewed or approved the recommendations of the commission. He also
noted any future improvements would include neighborhood input.
Commissioners discussed building a better communication plan going forward. Suggestions included
open houses or structured meetings. Speltz expressed concerns on general communication within the
city. She wonders how they can create a best mode. They also discussed how the city could get more
in touch with social media for communicating park projects and other happenings.
6. Music at Brookview Park
Birno explained that the neighborhood around Brookview Park has expressed concern over the
volume level of music played by shelter rentals. He said it has been an ongoing issue with many
resident complaints and the Police Department would like a more concrete plan to help with the
issue. Birno explained the plan is to eliminate amplified music in the shelters as a trial for the 2018
season. City sponsored and partnered events will still be allowed to have amplified music. Staff will
review with the commission at the conclusion of the 2018 rental season.
7. Park Project Notification Plan
Birno said staff is working on a plan to add project notification signs wherever there is work in a park
area. The idea is each project sign will have information to electronically research what the project is
about at each location. The goal is to advertise the new link in the spring/summer park and recreation
catalog, spring city newsletter, and the city website. Project signs will be on location beginning with
the spring 2018 park capital improvement projects.
8. Brookview Grand Opening Plan
Birno said the Grand Opening will be held on Friday, December 1, 2017 from 6-9 pm.
9. Commission and Staff Updates

installed. To better accommodate the traffic, he said the city should promote biking
to the facility and consider allowing parking on one side of Schaper Road.
2) Rosenquist said Mark Saunder’s wife was touched by Mark being recognized by the
City for his role in the Brookview project.
• Lakeview Park – Birno said the project is close to completion and final restoration is in

and Wesley Parks. Anderson then shared rink attendance numbers for the 2016-17 season,
which had great attendance. She shared the schedule for the 2017-18 season and said an
up-to-date google calendar for ice skating rink is available on the city website. Stutzman

5. COMMUNICATIONS
A. Administrator – Administrator Jester noted her written report is included with meeting materials. She also reviewed
information from the Commission Engineer regarding the discovery of zebra mussels (ZM) in Medicine Lake. She noted that ZM
were found on a dock by a resident on November 1 and verified by MnDNR November 2; that the MDNR found two
additional ZM on docks at different locations; that the ZM estimated to range in age from 1 to 3 years; that if the infestation
consists of 3 small, isolated clusters, a rapid response would be feasible but if it’s a lake-wide population, rapid response
treatment would not be feasible. She noted the MnDNR suspects the infestation is lake-wide. She reported the possible next
step includes the BCWMC working with the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) and MnDNR to design
and implement a spring 2018 monitoring program for Medicine Lake to define the extent of the infestation (adults and
veligers). The results would determine whether or not a rapid response chemical treatment is advised.
There was discussion about the lifecycle of the ZM and how/when they may have entered the lake. Commissioners Prom and
Carlson indicated their intent to contact lakeshore residents in order to search for more ZM yet this fall.
B. Chair – None
C. Commissioners – Alt. Commissioner Crough reported that he attended the DeCola Ponds Improvement Project Open House
and he was impressed by the work that went into the information presented to residents. Commissioner Prom noted the sale of
the Four Seasons Mall Property still was not final.
D. TAC Members – None

3. F. Approval of Use of Credit Cards for Purchases
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
The Legislature has authorized the use of credit cards by cities, but the legislation requires prior
City Council approval of those employees who will be using the cards on behalf of the City. The
following are the credit cards issued:
Store issued credit cards:
• BP Amoco (2)
o Police Commander (1)
• HyVee
• SuperAmerica (2)
o Police Commander (1)
• Northern Tool
• Sears
• Home Depot (2)
Non-store issued cards:
• US Bank (employee will sign use of purchasing card program)
Not all businesses accept purchase orders from the City. The stores listed above have credit cards
with their business name on them. The credit cards are kept in the Finance Department except
for the two noted that are in safekeeping by the Operations Commander in the Police
Department. All use will need to be approved by the supervisor before any purchase is made.
The US Bank is a purchasing/credit card with the employee’s name on it. These cards will be used
only if no other form of payment is accepted. Each employee given authority will sign a use of
card policy with terms of acceptable use. An employee may keep the card for a period of time
with approval from the supervisor.
Any credit card payment is included on the bi-monthly check registers approved by the City
Council.
Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the use of the following credit
cards listed above by any City employee, who has received prior approval of the appropriate
supervisor or the City Manager’s designee.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve usage of credit cards by any city employee who has received prior approval
from the appropriate supervisor and approved by the Finance Director and/or City Manager.

RE: City of Golden Valley
2019 Pavement Management Program
City Project Number 19-01
Jeff Oliver, PE
City Engineer
City of Golden Valley
7800 Golden Valley Rd.
Golden Valley, MN 55427
Dear Jeff:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide professional services to the City of Golden Valley for the
reconstruction of streets in the 2019 Pavement Management Program (PMP). The City is requesting a
scope of work that includes preliminary,final design, plan preparation and bidding services. This letter
serves as the Supplemental Letter Agreement in accordance with the Agreement for Professional
Services between the City of Golden Valley and SEH.
Background
The City of Golden Valley proposes to rehabilitate approximately 1.56 miles of streets in the Medley Park
neighborhood located in the northwest part of the City. The project is bounded by Medley Park on the
West, Brogger Circle on the East, Elgin Place on the South, and Medicine Lake Road on the North.
The following streets are included in the project:
• Ensign Avenue North, 23rd Avenue North to Medicine Lake Road
• Decatur Avenue North, Elgin Place to Medicine Lake Road
• Cavell Avenue North, Elgin Place to Medicine Lake Road
• Brogger Circle, Cul-de-sac to Medicine Lake Road
• Elgin Place, Ensign Avenue North to Cavell Avenue North
• 23rd Avenue North, Cul-de-sac to Cavell Avenue North
• Medley Lane, Cul-de-sac to Cavell Avenue North
• Medley Hills Park, Parking Lot
Public utilities such as water, storm sewer and sanitary exist in the right of way. The need for
improvements to the existing public utilities as well as other private utility facilities such as underground
power and gas will be identified as part of the scope of work, however, the extent of rehabilitation required
will not be known until after the preliminary design phase.

Scope of Work
Preliminary Survey
SEH will provide preliminary survey services for the streets included in the program. The proposed survey
work will include obtaining vertical and horizontal control, available property corner and monument
control, the gathering of topography, profile and cross-section information. In addition, a structure survey
of the sanitary and storm sewer structures in the project area will be obtained. SEH will request Gopher
One State field markings for private utilities and include them in the base map generated for the plans.
Meetings/Project Communication
We propose to attend a kick off meeting with Public Works staff at the beginning of the project. The
purpose of this meeting will be to plan the public process, check in once more with the scope and
schedule, receive direction and assign tasks.We have included a number of staff meetings in the scope,
expecting to hold monthly progress meetings during the preliminary and final design phases of the
project.We believe consistent monthly design team meetings will provide good feedback and will be
critical to keeping the design, schedule and design budget on track.
We have also included one meeting for an on-site drainage design walk-thru with City staff to review and
discuss the preliminary design, one on-site private utility meet to discuss the project with private utility
companies prior to field marking private utilities, two private utility design meetings to discuss the design
with the private utility companies, two meetings for special design issues that arise requiring additional
attention, and one meeting for review of the plans and specifications with City staff.
Public Involvement
The public involvement approach to this project is expected to be similar in nature to those followed in
previous City PMP projects.We expect to assist the City with an initial newsletter to introduce the project
to the neighborhood and two evenings of open house format meetings. This includes one meeting at the
beginning of the project design and one meeting after the preliminary design is complete. In addition,
SEH will provide both exhibits and staff at the public involvement open house. The exhibits for the open
house will consist of City supplied aerial photography on which the project area is illustrated with
preliminary design information prepared by SEH. We have also included time to prepare a set of large
graphic boards. The City will provide sign in sheets, comment cards and other information in project
folders. Scott Haupt, Project Manager, Sue Mason, Sr. Project Manager and Mike Kotila, Traffic Engineer
will be present at the open house.
The purpose of the first round of open houses will be to present the project and address any questions
and concerns prior to design. This meeting is expected to be held toward the beginning of the preliminary
design phase of the project. The second open house will illustrate the preliminary design layout and
answer any follow up questions. This meeting is expected to be held toward the end of the preliminary
design phase, prior to the public hearing.
For the purpose of this proposal, we have included time for the Project Manager, or another staff member
(as needed)to attend two issue specific meetings that may be necessary for the project.We have also
included time to prepare for and attend the public hearing.
Geotechnical Street Analysis and Report
Geologically, the majority of the streets exist in Des Moines Lobe till, which typically consists of sandy
lean clay or clayey sand. Organic soils are anticipated near the Medley Park vicinity as that area appears
to contain peat and swamp deposits.
SEH's geotechnical engineers will be providing the geotechnical boring coordination, evaluation and
technical assistance with the project. They will coordinate the boring locations and material testing
program, sub grade and pipe bedding recommendations. SEH will review the subsurface materials and
Jeff Oliver, PE

borings, identify potential problems, develop an additional boring program (if necessary)and make
recommendations based upon the information that is available. The recommendations will be
summarized in a memo for your information and project file.
Soil boring drilling services will be performed by Raimonde Drilling Corporation (RDC)and Soil
Engineering Testing, Inc. (SET)will be performing the Lab Testing, both will be subcontracted by SEH.
The drilling program consists of 9 soil borings drilled to a penetration ranging from 10 ft to 20 ft, at
approximately 400-foot intervals along the streets, and one in the location of the new storm sewer outlet
for the storm water diversion.
Any debris impacted or potentially contaminated material discovered will be handled separately from this
scope of work.
Sub Watershed Water Quality Investigation
A majority of the surface runoff in the southern portion of the project flows through the Medicine Lake
Branch towards a series of ponds in Medley Park. The surface water in the northern portion flows directly
to Medley Park. Eventually the water flows from Medley Park to the west under Highway 169 into
Medicine Lake with exception of the south westerly portion of the project area which flows southerly into
the Lakeview Park neighborhood. This Lakeview Park neighborhood drains westerly into Medicine Lake
and was recently reconstructed with the 2015-2017 PMP projects.
As part of the study, SEH will review opportunities within the project area in which water quality
improvements can be implemented on a concept level basis. However, the water quality feature for
Medley Park is scheduled to be funded in 2021 with Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission
(BCWMC)funds.
Stormwater Diversion
In order to mitigate stormwater surcharging at the intersection of Elgin Place and Ensign Avenue North,
the possibility of rerouting approximately 8.6 acres of contributing drainage area from a portion of the
2019 PMP project area (Decatur Avenue North, Elgin Place, and Cavell Avenue North)to a pond on
General Mills property was evaluated by SEH with the 2018 PMP, and is currently being reviewed by
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC). Rerouting would require the installation
of new catch basins along the southernmost portion of Elgin Place as well as installing a new 18" RCP to
connect the catch basins to the General Mills pond as part of the 2019 PMP.
Brogger Circle Drainage Study
In 2008, the City requested that SEH complete a drainage study in the Brogger Circle area of the project.
During larger rain events, the storm sewer system surcharges from an existing catch basin causing
localized flooding. Information gathered in this report will be reviewed and analyzed during the design
phase of this project.
Sidewalks and Trails
The City's Existing and Proposed Trail System map identifies a sidewalk connection along Ensign
Avenue North. This connection would tie into the existing sidewalk along the west side of Ensign Avenue
and continue to the South where it would meet the existing bituminous trail entering Medley Hills Park.
SEH will review and evaluate trails/signed bike routes and implement into the final plans.
Traffic/Intersection Improvements
SEH will review the intersection geometry at the neighborhood street intersections as well and evaluate
the options available for improvements.Additional time has been budgeted to assist the City with
minor/miscellaneous traffic issues as they arise during the project.
Jeff Oliver, PE

Preliminary, Final Design and Plan Preparation
SEH will prepare preliminary street and utility design for the 2019 PMP projects. Existing profiles and
alignments will be reviewed and optimized for drainage, storm sewer added as needed, and driveway
grades reviewed and improved if possible. The condition of the water main and sanitary sewer is not
know at this time, but we included time for complete replacement of the water main and complete lining of
the sanitary sewer.A set of final plans will be prepared according to City standards and submitted to the
City staff for review and approval.
Project Team
Scott Haupt will be the Project Manager. Justin Bergerson is assigned to the project as the Project
Engineer, providing preliminary and final design along with technical production work. Hector Flores will
provide the geotechnical analysis and evaluation for the streets included in the program. Mike Kotila,
Traffic Engineer will participate in the public involvement activities and other traffic related matters. Other
technical experts may be called upon to participate in meetings, depending on the issues that are brought
forth by residents and other stakeholders. Sue Mason, Scott Haupt and Mike Kotila will attend the project
staff meetings and neighborhood open houses as needed.
Schedule
We expect to begin working on the preliminary survey as soon as the contract is signed. The subsurface
soils investigation field work will begin this winter/spring. The first open house is expected to be held in
the spring of 2018, the second open house to be held in the fall of 2018, feasibility report anticipated for
fall/winter of 2018, public hearing in winter 2019, with final design and plans following. The bidding will
likely be in January or February 2019.
Compensation
SEH proposes to be compensated for the scope of work proposed in the Agreement on an hourly basis.
Compensation will be based on the hourly cost of personnel plus reimbursable expenses, including
reproductions, mileage and equipment.We have estimated the services described above to cost a total of
$408,100.00. The person/hour task budgets for each phase of the work are attached. The summary of
engineering services is as follows:
Preliminary Survey $ 28,900
Meetings and Public Involvement $ 75,300
Geotechnical Services with drilling $ 28,300
Preliminary Design & Feasibility Report $ 124,600
Final Design & Plan Preparation $ 151.000
Estimated Engineering Fees $ 408,100

The draft 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Program includes a Pavement Management Overlay
project (S-013, $500,000) for construction in 2018. Based on pavement condition, pavement age,
and the management strategies outlined in the Pavement Management Policy, it has been
determined that Wisconsin Avenue North from Trunk Highway 55 (TH 55) to Golden Valley Road,
Castle Court North, Castle Court South, and Yukon Court have been identified as neeeding an
overlay. The proposed project is shown on the attached Project Location Map.
In addition to an asphalt overlay, minor curb, sidewalk, and driveway apron replacement will be
identified on an as needed basis. All pedestrian ramps will be evaluated for ADA compliance, and
public infrastructure within the project area will be inspected. Any manholes and castings that
are found to have defects will be adjusted and repaired to grade in preparation for paving
activities.
Staff requested a proposal from the consulting engineering firm of Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc,
(SEH) for design services for this proposed project. These services are outlined in the attached
letter of proposal dated December 1, 2017, at a not to exceed price of $34,000. Staff has
reviewed the proposal and found that it includes the anticipated services and determined that

City Engineer
City of Golden Valley
7800 Golden Valley Road
Golden Valley,MN 55247 4588
Dear Jeff.-
Thank
eff:Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City of Golden Valley in providing professional engineering
services for the improvements to Wisconsin Avenue North from TH 55 to Golden Valley Road,Castle
Court North,Castle Court South and Yukon Court.The City is requesting a scope of work for completing
design and bidding documents for rehabilitation of these streets.This letter serves as the supplemental
Letter Agreement in accordance with the Agreement for Professional Services between the City of
Golden Valley and SEH.
Background
Wisconsin Avenue North from TH 55 to Golden Valley Road,Castle Court North,Castle Court South
and Yukon Court have all been identified as needing an overlay with an edge mill.In addition,the City is
interested in improving pedestrian accessibility at the intersections,so pedestrian ramps will be reviewed
for current American Disability Act(ADA)improvement needs.The work also includes other
infrastructure maintenance improvements to existing sanitary sewer,storm sewer and water main
facilities,some of which will be performed by City forces.The City desires that we include the plans for
these additional streets in the bidding documents for the Plymouth Avenue North Improvements Project,
currently underway in preliminary design and scheduled for construction in the summer of 2018.
Scope of Work
Preliminary Design
The scope of work for this project includes preparing plans that indicate the limits of the work and the
typical section proposed and identification of the public utility repair needs.The ped ramps on Wisconsin
Avenue at the intersection with Golden Valley Road will be reviewed for ADA compliance and added to
the planned improvements as needed.(The ped ramps at Plymouth Avenue North and the cul-de-sacs are
being reviewed as part of the Plymouth Avenue North project.) Field survey and subsurface investigation
is not necessary and has not been included in the scope of work. A preliminary cost estimate will be
prepared.

City forces will inspect the existing sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main appurtenance needs and
provide the information to SEH to include in the final plans for utility reconstruction or repair.
Final Design and Bidding Documents
SEH will finish preparing the plans and create additional technical specifications that may not be included
already in the Plymouth Avenue North scope of work.The plans will be finalized according to City
standards and submitted to the City for review and approval.
Specifications and cost estimates will be developed along with the Plymouth Avenue North Improvement
Project. Necessary permits applications to the Basset Creek watershed will be completed and submitted
for approvals. SEH will be available to answer design related questions during bidding and will develop
contracts for the City to complete.
Bidding
The majority of the bidding tasks have been combined with the Plymouth Avenue North Improvement
Project.
Meetings
The meeting time for these additional streets will be included as pant of the other ongoing rehabilitation
projects and has not been added to this scope of work.
Project Team
Toby Muse will be the Project Manager and will coordinate the final design and other technical
production work with the Plymouth Avenue North work. Sue Mason will assist with QA/QC and will be
assisting in completion of the plans. Sue Mason and Toby will attend the project meetings.Other
technical experts may be called upon to participate in meetings,depending on the issues that are brought
forth by residents and other stakeholders.
Schedule
We anticipate the preliminary design work to take place in December 2017 and final design following in
January to March 2018.The project is expected to be bid in April/May and construction to begin as soon
as weather permits.
Compensation
SEH proposes to be compensated for the scope of work proposed in the Agreement on an hourly basis.
Compensation will be based on the hourly cost of personnel plus reimbursable expenses,including
reproductions,mileage,car allowance,and equipment.Additional services required beyond the tasks and
estimated hours as described can be negotiated or provided as extra work on an hourly basis. We have
estimated the services described above to cost a total of$34,000.The person/hour task budget for the
proposed work is attached.
The City of Golden Valley will be invoiced for actual labor and reimbursable expenses incurred by SEH
to complete the work. The person/hour task budgets for each phase of the work are attached.
This agreement is an understanding of the project to date.If this document satisfactorily sets forth your
understanding of our agreement,please sign in the space below and return one copy to our office. We
look forward to working with you,your staff,and the community on this project.Thank you for the

Agenda Item
3 J. Approve Supporting Minnesota License and Registration System Maintenance
Prepared By
Susan Virnig, Finance Director
Meagan Weber, Motor Vehicle Supervisor
Summary
Minnesota Deputy Registrars Association (MDRA) has asked the City along with all members to
pass a local resolution of support for maintenance on the newly implemented MN License and
Registration System (MNLARS) software program. This resolution will be presented to the state
legislators for support of additional upgrades and reimbursements to make this software more
usable to make our customers continue to get the best customer service at our office.
Since implementation, our office has had to use overtime to complete processes that were easier
handled with the legacy software maintained by the state. At the time of implementation, certain
transactions were unable to be completed or took twice as long to complete. Due to the
implementation, our customer service was compromised. When customers were sent away due
to the system weakness that was potential customer that may not come back to our office.
This resolution will allow us along with many registrars to ask for additional maintenance and
possible reimbursement due to the new software.

• Resolution Supporting Minnesota License and Registration System Maintenance (2 pages)
Recommended Action
Motion to adopt Resolution supporting the Minnesota License and Registration System (MN
LARS) Maintenance.
Resolution 18-04 January 2, 2018
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING MINNESOTA LICENSE
AND REGISTRATION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota established a deputy registrar network to provide
our citizens with motor vehicle titling and registration services, including driver license
transactions; and
WHEREAS, deputy registrars are required to operate as agents on behalf of the
State of Minnesota without compensation from the State for the services they offer; and
WHEREAS, in 1949, the State of Minnesota established in statute a user-based
filing fee on motor vehicle and driver license transactions to be retained by the deputy
registrar to defray all their costs to provide this localized service to our citizens for the
State; and
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota now receives over $1 billion annually in state
fees and taxes collected through the deputy registrar network; and
WHEREAS, the City of Golden Valley understood the need for upgrading the legacy
system and time to make the system fully operational; and
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota has now shifted substantial clerical and auditing
responsibilities onto the deputy registrar network due to the State’s conversion to their new
Minnesota Licensing and Registration System (MNLARS) program; and
WHEREAS, other MNLARS shortcomings have frequently forced deputies to
conduct “no-(filing) fee” services for customers which acerbates the deputy business model
or send the customer away due to downtime or transactions that could not be completed;
and
WHEREAS, deputy registrar offices are now forced to invest in additional staff time
due to the MNLARS conversion. Golden Valley has estimating an additional 143 hours of
overtime in 2017 for a total of $4,775; and also spent many hours that were by a salaried
position that was not paid overtime; and
WHEREAS, Golden Valley did spent additional monies for equipment but timed it
with replacements for existing equipment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Golden Valley calls upon
the State Legislature and our Governor to enact legislation in 2018 to provide deputy
registrars with proper compensation by reallocating from existing state fee structures or
other appropriate filing fee adjustments to ensure their valued service and continued
presence remains in our local community to serve our citizens and the State.
