Values Valley Values are the things Golden Valley employees do, put into phrases that are easy to remember when anyone asks, or when we wonder what's important Six core values, called Valley Values,provide the City of Golden Valley and its employees with the well-being of shared meaning and purpose: Customer Focus Open Communication Positive Attitude Know How Teamwork Work/Life Balance Thank You! The Golden Valley Police Department thanks the residents and business owners of Golden Valley for being our partner in ensuring the public safety of the City of Golden Valley. Our thanks and appreciation also go to the many private and corporate donors of our community initiatives and the countless volunteers who donate the gift of time to the Ciry of Golden Valley. Lastly, thanks to the Hennepin County Sherif�'s Office for Crime Lab and Patrol services, the Minnesota State Patrol, and the Minneapolis, St Louis Park, Edina, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, Crystal, and New Hope Police Departments for assistance throughout the year. O City of Golden Valley, 2014 Dear Citizens: 1he Ciry of Golden Valley had a great year in 2013 as far as the crime rate goes.We have records going back to 1975, and the 2013 Part 1 crime rate was the lowest the city has seen in those 38 years!Let's take a minute to celebrate this achievement of an effective partnership between police and the communiry, and then let's get back to being vigilant about crime prevention as we begin 2014. It is only with this partnership that we will maintain the high levels of safety and livability for our community. One of the most frequent complaints the Ciry receives relates to neighborhood traffic concerns.To that end, the Police Department stafFed a position in 2013 dedicated solely to traffic safery.The assigned of�icer focused on driver education and enforcement, school zone safety, and handled the response to neighborhood traf�ic complaints. This was a very successful ef�ort, and the Ciry Council agreed to add an officer in 2014 to make this a permanent position. The Police Department hired two new of�icers in 2013 to fill retirement vacancies.Training remained a high priority to keep our employees at the top end of professional development. Keeping up with technology advances was also a focus—the department acquired an automated license plate reader through a grant, and a bait car. Both of these tools are aimed at reducing auto theft.Toward that end, Covenant Village ofFered a fundraising event in August that raised more than $1,000 toward the bait car costs.We are fortunate to have such wonderful partners with us in the effort to reduce crime! As always,you are encouraged to participate in one of the many community outreach events hosted by the Police Department.We would love to get to know all our residents and business owners. If you have a great idea for an event or class, please let us know. Thank you to everyone who helped make 2013 another outstanding year to live,work, or visit in Golden Valley. � Sincerely, Stacy A.

Golden Valley communiry.The Chief must also ensure and � maintain a work environment for employees that fosters professional growth, career opportunities,and mentoring. Patrol Division The largest function of the GVPD is assigned to the Paaol Division,which is responsible for handling a11911 and non- emergency calls for police service. Officers respond to all reports of crime and possible crime, medical situations, and reports of animals at large or injured. Investigations Division The Investigations Division reviews all police reports of criminal incidents,and the cases are assigned based on solvabiliry and investigator workload capacity. The Investigations Division includes an officer assigned to the Northwest Metro Drug Task Force (a collaborative narcotics investigation group staffed by officers from Golden Valley, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope, and Brooklyn Center) and an officer assigned to the Hennepin County Violent OfFender Task Force. Afrer the closing of Sandburg Middle School at the end of the 2009 school year, the Robbinsdale School District moved other programs into the building. Starting with the 2012-2013 school year, an officer spends two hours per school day in the building ensuring safery among students and participants.The school district reimburses the Ciry for these hours. Crime Prevention Unit The Crime Prevention Unit coordinates a multitude of community and neighborhood meetings;special events such as Minnesota Night to Unite, the Bike Rodeo, and the Public Safety Open House; and public education courses offered on a number of safery and crime topics.This unit conducts regular crime analysis and crime mapping and issues crime alerts relating to crime patterns or specific criminal actions. It also conducts home safety checks and inspects child car seats for proper installation. This year the fourth Citizen's Academy was held for citizens interested in finding out about the work, equipment, training, and procedures of Golden Valley police of�icers. In June,we also hosted an inaugural Junior Citizeds Academy, for kids ages 9-13.We received very positive feedback on this one-day event and plan to host it again in 2014. Support Staff Support staff serves a critical role in daily police operations, handling all data entry of police reports, documents, and statements as well as data practices requests for police reports. Staff members also answer all non-emergency phone calls, assist with calls involving animals, handle walk-up requests in the building lobby,schedule appointments for fingerprinting requests, and assist of�icers with administrative issues. Through an agreement with Breck School, funding for a Community Service Officer is provided in exchange for daily traffic control near the school twice per school day. DEPARTMENT PRODUCTIVITY A call for service includes any police response to a 911 call, a non-emergency call that requires a police response, a traf- fic stop, any criminal activity spontaneously witnessed by an of�icer on patrol, any self-initiated of�icer activity, assistance provided to another agency, any walk-in request at the police station that requires officer involvement, or any incident for which an of�icer is flagged down for help by an individual. Some factors that can affect the number of calls for service include an increase or decrease in the crime rate, or a public campaign encouraging residents to call 911 when they see something suspicious in the interest of crime prevention. `Ihe number of calls for service in 2013 are listed below(2012 and 2011 are listed for comparison purposes). 1 1 1 "' 21,769 19,782 17,971 Of all the calls for service during 2013 (generated either by a 911 call or self-initiated by an officer), the four most frequent call types were traffic stops, medical emergencies, alarms (residential or business),and suspicious activity/vehicle/person. These were the same most frequent calls for service for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 as well. Friday was the busiest day of the week for calls for service, followed by Thursday and Monday. The top three hours for calls were 4 pm, noon, and 3 pm. REPORTED CRIME When looking further into total calls for service, events that are not crimes can be culled to reveal a better understanding of total crime.`Ihe figures below represent only the number of actual crimes reported from the total number of calls for service for the year (all misdemeanors,gross misdemeanors,and felonies combined). ■ 1 1 _ 1 3,044 3>332 2,678 CRIME BY CATEGORY Crime is categorized by level of seriousness and by the elements of the criminal action. The lowest level of crimes are misdemeanors, the next most serious are gross misdemeanors, and the most serious are felonies. Further, the FBI collects monthly, quarterly, and annually reported crime from cities across the nation for general public safery,crime trending, and comparative purposes. The eight most serious felonies are the crimes of murder, rape, robbery, assault,burglary, theft,arson, and vehicle theft.The FBI calls these "Part 1" crimes.All other less serious crimes are categorized as "Part 2"crimes.The totals for the Part 1 crimes in Golden Valley are listed below, along with a breakout of crimes by category. Part 1 Crime Totals 1 1 .1 473 575 496 Part 1 Crime By Category '1 e � ` i � . e � � � 1 1 ' 1 L�y !k�% ,i. 6 3 64 4 5 373 18 (39 residential, (75 shoplifting, 25 business) 109 from vehicle, 189 other) Part 2 Crime Totals 1 1 - 1 1,410 1,559 1,479 ARRE S TS During 2013 Golden Valley police officers made 1,124 arrests, a decrease of 21 percent from 2012."Ihose arrests break down by crime level as follows: � � � � - � � - � �l i�7►�i'I��i i -."T.�iiTiTi 79 arrests 104 arrests 877 arrests 64 arrests For more than 20 years Golden Valley has been represented by prosecutors Frank Rondoni and Mark Schneider of the Chestnut Cambronne law firm.While officers work hard to develop strong cases and arrests, those are ultimately only as effective as the prosecution that follows.The Golden Valley City Attorneys work diligently to pursue prosecution against suspects in driving and criminal cases and ensure those perpetrating crimes in our community or on our roadways are brought to justice.We are very fortunate to have such a talented and committed legal team working toward the livabiliry and safety interests of Golden Valley. RESPONSE TO CALLS Golden Valley police ofFicers pride themselves on providing a prompt and professional response to calls for service.To that end, the GVPD staffs officers at a level assessed to be appropriate to respond to emergency calls within law enforcement average response time standards.When a 911 call comes into the dispatch center, it is categorized as either a Priority 1,2, or 3—the prioriry level is determined by the nature of the crime or actions described in the 911 ca1L For instance, a car accident with known or possible injuries or a burglary in progress will be categorized as a Priority 1 call—those deemed most in need of an immediate police presence. Other 911 calls with a less serious nature will get coded as a Prioriry 2 or 3> again depending on the circumstances of the incident A call describing an individual begging for money would be coded as a Priority 2,while a call to report a barking dog or to report a crime that happened several days ago would be a Priority 3. GVPD response times for 2011-2013 are categorized below. Priority 1 Priority 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 minutes 3 minutes 4 minutes 2 minutes 4 minutes 7 minutes Priority 3 � � �.. *The Edina dispatch system does not calculate our Priority 3 eall times in the same m�znner as our previous system, thus this figure is an esti- 4 minutes 4 minutes 8 minutes* �te,as it is not possible to compare identically with our older data. TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT The GVPD places high value on maintaining the safery of our roads and highways, and strong emphasis on traflic enforce- ment and driver education is a main component of our Patrol operations. Educating the public about driver and pedestrian safery has proven to save lives. In 2013 Golden Valley of�icers made 6,466 traffic stops, issued 3,520 traffic citations, gave 1,732 warnings,were involved in four motor vehicle pursuits, and arrested 132 people for DWI (driving while intoxi- cated). Of all the trafFic citations issued to motorists in 2013 by Golden Valley Police Officers, the top four most frequently cited violations were speeding, no proof of insurance,expired registration (tabs),and semaphore violation. MEDICAL ASSISTANCE Golden Valley police officers are trained as first responders so as to provide intermediate medical assistance as part of their regular duties.Absent a full-time Fire Department, most suburbs follow this model in rendering medical assistance to citi- zens. During 201.3 officers assisted 1,555 people in response to a request relating to a medical issue. .�„' � _ �,� . ��.. � ` �� �� � h � COMMUNITY OUTREACH � � , � ,,��� � ����`: � � Connecting with the community in a wide variety of ways is a high prioriry for the � �Ar � GVPD. Crime prevention, community meetings, education,and partnerships are �� r ` �� �'` f ' part of the foundation of building a strong police/communiry relationship. The �4 � .� J GVPD continually strives to increase collaboration with Golden Valley residents, ,� t . :;;� business owners, and visitors. �•_ : _ � � a� Neighborhood Watch ""` �� '' GVPD employees conduct crime prevention meetings by geographic/neighbor- �. ' -< �, � ' � � hood zones to offer safety tips to residents as well as present the latest crime � „�, ��.w y�� - � •''� -- — — — statistics for the respective zone. Residents are encouraged to form or join a Neigh- borhood Watch group and work as a large team to keep their home and neighbors' homes safe by being observant and reporting any suspicious activity. These meetings serve as a forum for dialogue relating to public safety, City services, statute/ordinance elements,and resource availability. They also of�er residents a chance to meet a number of police officers. In 2013 the GVPD conducted two Neighborhood Watch meetings throughout the city. Crime Free Multi-Housing Program Golden Valley is home to a number of multi-housing units, and the GVPD conducts quarterly meetings with the managers and/or owners of apartment complexes.The purpose of this partnership is to build relationships and offer best practices for rental leases, background screenings, evictions,and nuisance tenants, among other issues. Golden Valley police of�icers also reach out to youth living in apartment complexes to foster police/youth relationships,encourage school attendance,and reward good school behavior. In 2013 the GVPD held four Apartment Manager/Owners group meetings. Crime Prevention Training For Businesses There are numerous businesses in Golden Valley, and the GVPD holds training sessions for business owners and employees on topics such as premises safety, fraud and forgery, and common business crimes, to name a few. In 2013 the GVPD conducted 16 training sessions for area businesses. CounterAct The GVPD pursues positive police/youth interactions through the CounterAct drug abuse prevention program. Of�icers taught roughly 150 fifth graders at Noble Elementary, School of Engineering and Arts (SEA),and Good Shepherd EI- ementary about the dangers of drug use and dealing with peer pressure to use drugs or alcohol. The six-session program culminates with a graduation ceremony, including skits developed by students depicting scenarios of drug/alcohol use and appropriate resistance techniques. ��� Bike Rodeo �+���' III The annual Bike Rodeo is a collaborative effort with the Cities of New Hope � �' " � � and Crystal. Participants interact with area police officers, receive bike safety _ '�; tips,and get discounted bike helmet rates. If you can believe it, the 2013 Bike --_� °��..' Rodeo was canceled due to snow—in May! �– � , �}� ,\ Open House � � �' � Each June the Golden Valley Police and Fire Departments host an Open �Y � � House and invite the public to tour the building facilities,watch a controlled ` ' fire burn,get inside police and fire vehicles>meet police of�icers and firefight- " � �'` ers,and learn of many police and fire operations and programs. � I Ride-Along Program The GVPD offers the public the opportuniry to ride along with a police officer for part of a shift.This can be arranged in advance and provides a first- �_ hand experience about what it is like to be a Golden Valley police ofFicer. Bike Patrol &More Throughout the warmer months officers pedaled their way through more than a hundred hours of bike patrol,which proved to be successful both from a birycle safery enforcement standpoint and a youth outreach aspect. Police and Fire per- sonnel coordinated many events in Golden Valley parks and apartment complexes, providing pizza and water relief on hot days courtesy of the Fire Department truck hoses.The connections made with area kids and parents proved to be invaluable in building positive police/youth relationships. For the fourth consecutive year the GVPD offered a bike-along with two officers that covered many points of interest in the city.About 20 residents participated. ��- � �� � � �.

Department of Public Safety;Attorney Regular Meeting of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall, Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday, March 24, 2014. Chair Kluchka called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Those present were Planning Commissioners Cera, Kluchka, Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present was Community Development Director Mark Grimes, City Planner Jason Zimmerman, Planning Intern Nick Olson, City Engineer Jeff Oliver and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Commissioners Baker, Boudreau-Landis and McCarty were absent. 1. Approval of Minutes March 10, 2014, Regular Planning Commission Meeting Waldhauser referred to the second paragraph on page four and asked that language be added to the brewery/taproom discussion stating that the Planning Commission also wants to take into consideration future plans for Brookview and other local businesses. MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to approve the March 10, 2014, minutes with the above noted addition. 2. Informal Public Hearing — Preliminary Plan Review — Planned Unit Development (PUD) — Morrie's Automotive Group PUD #115 Applicant: Morrie's Automotive Group Address: 7400 Wayzata Blvd. Purpose: To allow the addition of a new standalone dealership with customer service support area within the existing parking lot. Zimmerman referred to a location map and stated that the applicant is proposing ta build an additional, stand-alone, dealership within the existing parking lot. Lot 1 would contain the current Cadillac dealership and the proposed new Lot 2, located in the southeast corner of the property, would contain a new Maserati & Bentley dealership. Access to the new lot would be through an existing shared, private driveway along the south lot line. Zimmerman explained that the proposed new building will be two stories in height, 19,680 square feet in size, and will consist of showroom space, sales offices, and work spaces. He referred to the parking on the site and stated that the Zoning Code requires this development to have 216 parking spaces. The Cadillac dealership will have 283 parking spaces and the Maserati/Bentley dealership would have 27 parking spaces. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 2 Zimmerman stated that the applicant is proposing to install foundation plantings around the perimeter of the building, shade trees in the northeast corner and a hedge to the east of the customer parking area to provide screening. He added that the overall the amount of impervious surFace will be reduced. Segelbaum asked if the numbers on the comparison chart in the staff report represent the entire property within the PUD or just the proposed new lot. Zimmerman said the numbers on the chart in his staff report are specific to the proposed new lot. Segelbaum asked if the proposed new lot would cause the existing Cadillac building to become non-conforming. Zimmerman said the proposed new building will have no impact on the existing building or the setbacks. Waldhauser asked if there have been discussions with the applicant regarding ways to do more to improve water retention or infiltration on the site. Zimmerman stated that the proposal meets the minimum requirements but they will be encouraged to do more in regard to water quality. Kluchka asked why this proposal is considered to be a single use rather than a dual use because it is car sales and service which could be considered to be two uses. Zimmerman stated that the proposed uses are considered to be a single use because they are both commercial in nature. Kluchka asked if there is a private street agreement between all of the parties that use it to access their properties. He also asked if there are any plans by the City to make the private street a public street. Zimmerman stated that there is an agreement regarding the use of the private street and that the City has no plans to make it a public street. Kluchka asked if the City is requiring the applicant to plant additional trees. Zimmerman said there are trees proposed to be installed behind the new building, but there are no trees planned for the landscaped frontage as required in the I-394 Mixed Use zoning district. Waldhauser said she's not sure there is enough room for additional trees along the front. Peter Coyle, Attorney representing the applicant, stated that Morrie's currently has a high end dealership in Minnetonka that they would move to this Golden Valley site if the requested PUD is approved. He stated that they hope, in the future, to accommodate an additional brand as well. He explained that they want to service their high-end clients and that the dealership being proposed is not equivalent to other types/brands of dealerships. He said that they are not objectionable to any of the conditions listed in the staff reports and that they understand there will be more conversations regarding drainage, sidewalk, and landscape issues. Waldhauser asked if the east and west sides of the proposed new building could accommodate some windows or something to visually break up the brick fa�ade. Darwin Lindahl, Architect for the proposal, stated that there will be some windows on the west side of the building, however, they don't want their customers seeing their competitors to the east when they are in the showrooms. He added that there are also very specific Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 3 designs that they have to follow per the manufacturer. Kluchka said the Planning Commission has to consider the design and wants high quality design. He stated that the glass and aluminum proposed in the front is in such contrast with the brick on the other sides and asked if the building could be more consistent on three sides. Lindahl stated that he would talk to the manufacturer and try to accommodate the City's wishes. He added that this proposed design has already been reviewed and approved by the two manufacturers but there may be some different design options they would consider. Waldhauser asked about the brick veneer shown on the plans. Lindahl stated that the brick veneer being proposed is just a regular, buff colored brick that will complement the Infiniti and Cadillac dealerships. Kluchka suggested they submit color illustrations before their next review. Segelbaum referred to the site plan and stated that the proposed new Lot 2 seems much more densely built and he is concerned about the traffic flow and patterns being too tight. Coyle said they don't have any concerns about the traffic patterns and added that the site has been designed to be able to move the vehicles in and out. Waldhauser stated that there is a desire for sidewalk along the west side of the property and asked if it is possible to add a pedestrian throughway on the south side of the property. Coyle said he didn't think a sidewalk along the south would be possible because of the private easement and a MnDOT easement along that side of the property. He added that he also thinks a sidewalk along the south would be unsafe and would not take pedestrians anywhere other than into another dealership. Kluchka�asked if the Cadillac dealership has plans to screen their HVAC equipment and tank located in the back corner of the property. Coyle said he is not aware of any plans, but they would respond to requests regarding the screening of their equipment. Kluchka opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing. Waldhauser said she would like to see more green space on the property and suggested more trees be included in the sidewalk plans along Pennsylvania Avenue. Kluchka asked about the City's landscaping goals along Pennsylvania Avenue. Grimes said he is not aware of any landscaping plans as part of the sidewalk plan for Pennsylvania Avenue and added that additional landscaping along Pennsylvania Avenue could be added as a condition of approval. Kluchka asked if it would be appropriate to enforce the language in the Code requiring 1 tree per 50' of landscaped frontage. Segelbaum said this PUD seems to focus on Lot 2. He said would like to see improvements on Lot 1 as well. He added that he agrees with Commissioner Waldhauser that the proposed brick sides of the building look very stark in contrast to the loud front and would encourage that the west side especially be dressed up with windows. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 4 Kluchka suggested adding a condition that requires the applicant to plant 1 tree per 50' of landscaped frontage along Pennsylvania Avenue as required in the I-394 Mixed Use zoning district. Cera said he would like a condition added that encourages the applicant to consider ways to increase the amount of pervious surFace on Lot 1 as well. Kluchka suggested adding a condition stating that the fa�ade design shall be reviewed for ways to improve the consistency of the fa�ade from the front, west, and east. Waldhauser referred to water retention and water treatment on the site and asked if the water from all the parking lots drain to the road in the front or if any of it is retained or treated on the site. Brady Busselman, mfra, Engineer for the project, said currently the water from the site does drain toward Wayzata Blvd. Waldhauser asked if any on-site water retention or water treatment was considered during the review process of this proposal. Grimes stated those issues were reviewed and that applicants are encouraged to do on-site water retention and treatment, but because of its size, this project is exempt from some of the requirements. Oliver stated that he has had conversations with the applicant and that they have submitted new plans that will be addressed during the Final PUD review process. MOVED by Cera, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan for PUD #115 Morrie's Automotive Group subject to the following findings and conditions: Findinqs 1.

Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 125 Cutacross Road — Olson Tralee — SU12-14 Applicant: Peter Knaeble Addresses: 125 Cutacross Road Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Olson explained the applicant's request to subdivide the property at 125 Cutacross Road into two new lots. He referred to a site plan and noted that Lot 1 would be 15,548 square feet in size and 99 feet wide at the front setback line and Lot 2 would be 14,561 square feet in size and 114 feet wide at the front setback line. Cera asked if variances are required to make these buildable lots. Olson stated no, variances are not being requested as a part of this proposal. Kluchka asked if the existing home would be demolished. Olson said yes. Kluchka asked if the existing home would have to be removed before the subdivision is approved. Olson said the existing house would have to be removed before building permits are issued for the proposed new homes. Segelbaum asked about the building envelope area. Olson referred to the site plan and pointed out the building envelope on each new lot. Peter Knaeble, Terra Engineering, Applicant, stated that his family will be selling the property this summer and that he concurs with the conditions listed the staff reports. He gave the Commissioners a colored rendering of the site and a copy the original plat for the Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 6 area which showed several lots that have been subdivided in the past. He added that the homes he is proposing will be custom built for each site. Kluchka asked if a builder is developing the properties of if private families would build their own homes. Knaeble stated that families would design their own homes and work with their own builders. Segelbaum referred to the plat of the area that Knaeble handed out and asked when each lot was subdivided. Knaeble talked about several of the subdivisions and when they occurred. Kluchka opened the public hearing. John Wetzel, 120 Meadow Lane North, said he is more concerned about the next item on the agenda. He asked about the City's policies regarding subdivisions and asked what subdividing property does to other properties around it. Jim Fredkove, 26 Paisley Lane, said he is concerned that he will be put in the same position and will have to subdivide his property in order to recover his investment. He said that one reason he bought his property was the large lot size. He asked if the City's plan is to allow everyone to subdivide their properties. David Spencer, 211 Cutacross Road, said the existing house faces Meander Road and is welcoming to the neighborhood. He said he is concerned that people will be looking at the side of the proposed new house and he wants to make sure that the new house is positioned toward Meander Road. He stated that he subdivided his lot in 2005 and thinks subdivisions will increase the overall values of the properties in the neighborhood and added that no one will be required to subdivide their lots. Grimes explained that this property is guided on the City's Comprehensive Plan for low density residential development up to 5 units per acre and is zoned Single Family Residential. So the plan for the City is to allow lots that are 10,000 square feet or greater in size. He said people are not required to subdivide their lots, but they have the opportunity to do so if their property is large enough. He added that neighbors could get together and enter into a covenant agreement regarding lot sizes. Kluchka added that subdividing is a property owner's opportunity to maximize their investment as long as they do so within the City's rules and ordinances. Grimes agreed and added that the proposed new lots will be 1'/z times larger than the City Code requires. Segelbaum asked how neighboring property owners are protected. Grimes stated that there are height requirements, setback requirements, and articulation requirements among others in the City Code to protect neighborhoods. He added that the proposed homes will be quality-built homes that will benefit Golden Valley as a whole. Segelbaum referred to the comment regarding the orientation of the houses on the lots and said he didn't think the City could control the location of the house. Kluchka agreed that the house could be built as the owner sees fit. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 7 Zimmerman noted that the park dedication fees should be $1,400 for one new lot, not $2,800 as listed in his staff report. MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed minor subdivision at 125 Cutacross Road subject to the following conditions: 1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat. 2. A park dedication fee of$1,400 shall be paid before final plat approval. 3. The City Engineer's memorandum, dated March 17, 2014, shall become part of this approval. 4. A Subdivision Agreement will be drafted for review and approval by the City Council that will include issues found in the City Engineer's memorandum. 5. All applicable City permits shall be obtained prior to the development of the new lots. 4. Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 221 Sunnyridge Lane — Kate's Woods — SU08-11 Applicant: David Knaeble Addresses: 221 Sunnyridge Lane Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Zimmerman stated that staff and the applicant prefer to table this public hearing in order to allow more time to discuss a zoning interpretation issue that has come up and needs to be taken care of first. MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to table this public to the next Planning Commission meeting. 5. Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 7218 Harold Avenue — Marie's Woods — SU17-11 Applicant: Peter Knaeble Addresses: 7218 Harold Avenue Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Variances from the Subdivision Code are also being requested for this Minor Subdivision. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 8 Zimmerman referred to a site plan and explained the applicant's request to subdivide the property at 7218 Harold Avenue. He stated that the property is currently zoned R-2 Moderate Density Residential and that the applicant is proposing to tear down the existing single family home and construct two new, detached single family homes. The R-2 zoning district does permit single family homes, however, it encourages the construction of twin homes and townhomes. He explained that the minimum lot size in the R-2 zoning district is 11,000 square feet with 100 feet of width at the front setback line. Both lots in this proposal would be 15,725 square feet in size, however, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the lots to be 54.5 feet wide, and the side yard setbacks to 7.5 feet rather than the required 15 feet. He stated that staff doesn't feel that the necessary criteria for variances has been met and is therefore, recommending denial of this proposal. Kluchka asked if there could be a condition placed on the approval of a subdivision requiring that there has to be a twin home built on the property. Zimmerman stated that there would need to be declarations of covenants/restrictions reviewed at the same time as this subdivision proposal and that is not what is being proposed at this time. Cera asked if there is any precedent allowing variances when subdividing R-2 property. Grimes stated that in the past, twin homes were only allowed by doing a Planned Unit Development. He explained that when the City rezoned this area to R-2 zoning the vision was to see higher density and generational housing. He said he is concerned how the proposed two single family homes would impact this area. Segelbaum stated that granting variances in a subdivision has been frowned upon in the past. Cera agreed and added that the Planning Commission has been told that subdivisions with variances cannot be approved. Zimmerman stated that there is a provision in the Subdivision Code, separate from the Zoning Code that allows for variances. Peter Knaeble, Terra Engineering, Applicant, stated that this is a neighborhood of 14 homes where only one is for sale and it is not feasible to acquire them all before they become available. He stated that the townhouse market is not very viable and that the small single family home market is the most viable. He said he understands the need, but the market is not there for townhouses and they would not be the highest and best use for this property. He said he could build a twin home on the property but it would be the same density he is proposing with single family homes which is a product people want. He stated that many cities are coming up with different types of zoning regulations to accommodate small lot, single family homes. He said a good example would be the homes built just down the street from this proposal on Rhode Island Avenue where the homes were built on 50-foot wide lots. He said the City is asking for higher density and he thinks the best way to do that is to build small, single family homes because waiting for all 14 parcels to become available isn't feasible. Waldhauser asked why there is an objection to town homes or twin homes. Knaeble said he didn't know but if people have a choice, 9 out of 10 of them will pick a single family home over a townhouse and he thinks his proposal is a good start and makes sense for this area. Kluchka opened the public hearing. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 9 Larry Kueny, 7303 Ridgeway Road, said there is still a for sale sign on the property. He stated that a few years ago the Planning Commission and City Council decided this area would be zoned R-2 and now someone wants to change what everyone has accepted. He said he is blown away by this proposal because it will set a precedent for all of the 14 lots to have a 7.5 foot setback so this proposal is a no. Richard Fischer, 7330 Harold Avenue, asked if this proposal were approved if he would also be able to divide his property into two skinny lots with 2-foot or 5-foot setbacks. He said he is really opposed to this proposal. Knaeble noted that the neighbor to the west of the subject property is not opposed to this proposal. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing. Cera said this proposal is attempting to change the Zoning Code with a subdivision. There is no hardship for variances is the proposal and he agrees with staff that it should be denied. Segelbaum said he agrees that this proposal is outside the intent of the City Code. He said the City can't rewrite the Zoning Code just for this proposal. He commended the applicant for considering this type of development but said the Planning Commission isn't in the position to accept this proposal without much more review. Kluchka asked how the houses down the street on Rhode Island Avenue were developed. Grimes stated that the properties on Rhode Island Avenue were existing platted lots of record and were not subdivided in order to construct the new homes. MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to recommend denial of the proposed subdivision of the property at 7218 Harold Avenue finding that it doesn't meet any of the conditions of City Code and requires variances. 6. Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — Intersection of Noble Drive and Major Drive — Hanson Wood Shores — SU06-06 Applicant: George Wessin Address: Intersection of Noble Drive and Major Drive Purpose: The proposed subdivision would reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Zimmerman referred to a location map and explained the applicant's request to subdivide the existing vacant lot located south of Major/Noble Drives and west of Sweeney Lake into two separate single family residential lots. He noted that Lot 1 would be 80,344 square feet with 80 feet of width at the front setback and Lot 2 would be 97,433 square feet with 87 feet of width at the front setback. He reminded the Commissioners that an application for a subdivision to allow three lots was made last summer but that application was withdrawn. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 10 Zimmerman stated that the property owner to the south at 1801 Noble Drive has approached the City with concept plans for subdividing his property as well. He explained that when a new subdivision adjoins unsubdivided land, City Code requires that new streets be provided in order to access the property. Therefore, staff is recommending that the applicant be required to dedicate an additional 30 feet of right-of-way along the western edge of his property to accommodate a new street in the future in order for 1801 Noble Drive to gain access. Kluchka asked for clarification on why a new street is being required as a part of this proposal. Zimmerman referred to the section of City Code that states "...Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the proper projection of streets. When a new subdivision adjoins unsubdivided land susceptible to being subdivided, then the new streets shall be carried to the boundaries of the tract proposed to be subdivided." Kluchka asked about the definition of the word "unsubdivided" and stated that there are probably a hundred lots in the City that have the potential to be subdivided and questioned if that is really the intent of the Code. He said to him "unsubdivided" means unimproved. Zimmerman stated that Code does not define "unsubdivided." He explained that the City Attorney has stated that providing access does apply to this proposal so staff is suggesting that 50 feet of right-of-way be designated as a part of this subdivision. Waldhauser asked if the City has an obligation to provide access and asked why the property owner has to bear the costs associated with providing access. Zimmerman stated that all the benefitting parties would be assessed the costs, not just the applicant. Zimmerman referred to the Fire Departments comments regarding this proposal and stated that they have concerns about lengthy driveways, the distance to a water supply, and the ability to turn their vehicles around. Cera asked if the City could build a cul-de-sac in order to eliminate the long driveways and to set the stage for future development. Zimmerman said that without cooperation by the three current landowners, the only option is to plan for the first stage by preserving right-of- way now and then accommodate additional stages of development as future proposals are made. Kluchka said he is uncomfortable with recommending approval on the presupposition that the recommended street will be built when that is not what is being proposed by the applicant. George Wessin, Applicant, stated that his family has lived in Golden Valley for 80 years and discussed his family's history in Golden Valley. He explained that his grandparents owned much of the land in this area and sold some of it for the development of Heathbrooke Addition. He said he has been an active member of the Sweeney Lake Association and the Historical Society and has donated to the Golden Valley Human Services Fund, the Courage Center, the Fire Association, and his wife has donated plants to the Arboretum. He said he allowed the City to have an easement over the property for water and storm sewer Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 11 at no cost and added that he is a steward of the land and his proposal is fair and is the best option for the neighborhood, his friends, the lake, and the environment. Kluchka asked Mr. Wessin if he has had any conversations with the City regarding the street proposal staff is recommending. Wessin said he has, in the past, had conversations with the City regarding the proposed street but not during this particular proposal. Kluchka opened the public hearing. Jacqueline Day, 1334 Spring Valley Road, said she is a member of the Sweeney Lake Homeowner's Association, a long-time resident, a Golden Valley realtor for 34 years and has been instrumental in improving the City's housing stock and implementing the City's Inflow and Infiltration sewer requirements. Segelbaum asked Ms. Day if she is representing any of the parties involved in this proposal or if she is speaking as a resident. Day said she was speaking as a longtime friend and neighbor of George and Sue Wessin and that she has represented them at length as their realtor. She referred to a location map and discussed the density of Heathbrooke Addition and the Hidden Lakes development. She said George, Sue, all the residents of Heathbrooke and all of the Sweeney Lake Homeowner's Association members want a low density, neighborhood friendly, environmentally responsible use of Mr. Wessin's property. She said she knows the City has been bombarded by developers regarding Mr. Wessin's property, none of whom own the land or are in a purchase agreement to buy the land. She showed the Planning Commission several of the proposed concept plans she has seen and said these plans remove most of the woods and the towering oak trees and pack in the maximum density. She showed pictures of the house at 1801 Noble Drive and stated that shortly after Mr. Lecy bought the property he started demolishing it, the City stopped the demolition and it has sat vacant ever since. She showed the Commissioners a drawing by Mr. Lecy showing his intent to buy Mr. Wessin's property to redevelop it and added that Mr. Lecy has an active MLS listing for three lots stating that two of them would ready by the end of the summer even though there has been no application submitted to the City and the property has no road frontage to qualify for subdividing. She stated that the Haines, owners of the property at 1550 St. Croix Circle support Mr. Wessin fully and that they do not want the street proposed by the City so Mr. Lecy is the one property owner instigating the construction of the street. She stated that Mr. Wessin is requesting a simple lot split that meets every requirement and that the subdivision ordinance is not being applied properly by staff. She stated that Mr. Wessin doesn't want or need the proposed street. She said she attended a meeting last summer with staff to discuss the possibility of Mr. Wessin dividing his property into three lots and they were told that would not be possible without dedicating land for a street and working with the other property owners potentially involved. They asked about the cost of the street and were given a three page report detailing the costs for the engineering, the road and the cul-de-sac would be $550,000 which does not include the soil preparation, tree removal, and all the other costs for a development that no one wants. She said also at that meeting, and other meetings where Mr. Wessin's attorney was present, staff told them that if Mr. Wessin wanted to divide the property without a new street, his only option was to split his property into two lots which is what they are proposing because that would meet all City Code requirements. She stated that staff has said they've met with Mr. Lecy many times regarding plans to subdivide and that there are staff reports stating other properties may Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 12 also be developable and benefit from the required street. Those parties would be Jeff and Heidi Haines, George and Sue Wessin, and Amar Alshash, none of whom want the street. She showed the Commissioners a plan of the Goldenview subdivision that she was a part of creating. She noted that one of the driveways in that subdivision is 280 feet in length and there were no objections about its length when it was subdivided. She added that Mr. Wessin's attorney was present at this meeting and as a concerned citizen she also hired an attorney. She read a letter from her attorney which states that Mr. Wessin's proposal must be approved without conditions. She said she's talked with other neighbors and that nobody has understood that this is really about bringing a continuation of a street from Heathbrooke and all the traffic it entails into this development, they think it is just about Mr. Wessin wanting to split his property into two lots and that the City Council will be amazed by how many people will attend the Council meeting regarding this proposal. She read a letter from Sandy Lee, a property owner in the area, stating they do not object to Mr. Wessin dividing his parcel into finro lots, however, they are unclear about the rest of parcel and how Mr. Lecy can advertise three lakeshore lots adjacent to a paved street and a cul-de-sac and want to know how this is possible without notifying the neighborhood. They said there is no doubt in their minds that the people in the Heathbrooke neighborhood would object to a paved road and the possible density and traffic that may attract. This would dramatically affect the safety and property owners of Heathbrooke homeowners as well as the safety, water quality, and usage for lakeshore homeowners. Segelbaum asked Ms. Day if she is representing the homeowner's association. Day said she has spoken to a large number of people who are her friends and neighbors but they have not had a formal association meeting. Amar Alshash, 1807 Noble Drive, showed the Commission pictures of his property and said he feels like he has been in the dark regarding this proposal. He said he supports Mr. Wessin's plan to split his property into two lots but putting in a street will encourage a developer to tear down the existing mansion. He questioned if he would have to pay for the proposed street and said he is not in favor of having a street go through. Roy Lecy, 1801 Noble Drive, stated that the MLS listing he has for the property is subject to future subdivision and there is nothing wrong with marketing the property that way. If a subdivision doesn't happen, then three lots won't be created. He stated that the existing driveway providing access to 1801 Noble Drive is 20 feet in width so the proposed new street will only be 4 feet wider. He said he is supportive of Mr. Wessin putting in two new lots and he can understand why Mr. Wessin would not want to pay to build a city street. He said he would pick up the assessments because he is trying to provide access. He said he sees no negative impact to Mr. Wessin if he pays the assessment. That way, Mr. Wessin will end up with two lots, maybe four, he would have two lots and the Haines could potentially get one more lot. Andrew Gellman, 1810 Noble Drive, said he supports Mr. Wessin's subdivision request. He said he has sat on a number of boards and urged the City not to cut off the conversation, but urge it to go forward because the property is neglected and this proposal needs to keep moving forward. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 13 Christopher Gise, 1485 Island Drive, said he doesn't have a problem with this proposed subdivision and he is glad to hear concern about Sweeney Lake. He said that the lots on the peninsula in the Hidden Lakes development all have 50-foot conservation easements and he thinks that would be a good idea in this proposal as well. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing. Kluchka asked about the effects on the lake, how these subdivisions are reviewed in regard to the lake and how conservation rules are created. Grimes said there will be a 10 to 20 foot buffer strip required and there will also be a conservation easement. Oliver stated that review is based on the size and number of lots. For this proposal there are no water quality improvements required by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission or the City. He noted that the Hidden Lakes development had different best management practices and trade-offs because it was a PUD. Kluchka asked who pays for streets and what the impacts are to other property owners. Oliver said there are numerous ways to assess the street costs. He said he agrees with the resident about not stopping the dialogue and said that this development can be done in an environmentally sound way and that staff has been encouraging all along for all the property owners involved to work together. Segelbaum asked if the width of the proposed street could be 20 feet. Oliver said he would be comfortable with a 20-foot wide street. Waldhauser asked if that width would cause problems with parking. Oliver said there are miles and miles of 24-foot wide streets with no parking restrictions and there have very rarely been any problems. Cera said he sees a proposal that is piecemeal and incomplete. There are competing proposals, it is not the Planning Commissions role to judge, and there needs to be dialogue between the property owners. He said this is not proper planning and it might be appropriate to table this proposal. Segelbaum agreed that there are several different ideas but that the applicant probably wants to go forward with his application to the City Council. He noted that the Fire Chief has said that the length of the driveways violate the Fire Code. Kluchka said the Fire Chief's memo didn't clearly state that there is a violation. Waldhauser said it would be nice to resolve the development in this area. She said she is sympathetic to the neighbors wanting to preserve the character, but eventually that will change. She added that she doesn't want to lock in a proposal that precludes or prevents development by future landowners. Kluchka said it seems to be a question of if the proposed lots are buildable. If the lots are buildable and utilities can be provided then he thinks the Fire Chief's comments are too harsh. Oliver stated that Fire staff is concerned about the ability to respond to a fire at these properties and that sprinklering the homes could be a solution and the water pressure can be dealt with. His concern is the length of the sewer services and the long term maintenance of the services. He added that a builder is going to have to show that it can be done taking into account the direction changes and the grade changes on the property. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2014 Page 14 Kluchka said the proposal is a mess and should never have been presented to the Planning Commission the way they were. He said he would consider tabling the request in order to get the documentation cleaned up. Waldhauser said the alternative is to recommend approval with several conditions. Kluchka said staff added conditions to things the applicant didn't request. Grimes stated that the process is a mess because it is a messy situation. He stated that staff has worked hard to get all the parties together and he thinks some progress has been made. MOVED by Cera, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to table the applicant's request to allow time for the property owners to meet to discuss their options. --Short Recess-- 7. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings No reports were given. 8. Other Business • Planning Commission Representative on the Community Center Task Force Kluchka volunteered to be the Planning Commission representative on the Community Center Task Force. • Council Liaison Report No report was given. 9.

Segelbaum, Secretary Lisa Wittman, Administrative Assistant MINUTES Envision Connection Project Executive Board March 20, 2014 7:30 pm City Hall Council Conference Room Directors Present: Lynn Gitelis (chair), Mike Berger, Helene Johnson, Philip Lund, Dean Penk, Wendy Rubinyi, Mike Schleif, Blair Tremere Directors Absent: Sharon Glover, Jim Heidelberg, Cindy Inselmann, Marshall Tanick Other: Cheryl Weiler (Staff Liaison) 1. Call to Order Chair Gitelis called the meeting to order at 7:43 pm with a quorum. 2. Approval of Agenda Schleif moved the approval of the agenda and Lund seconded. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Approval of February 25, 2014 Minutes Tremere asked who was going to handle the Ice Cream Social, as it was a small spark. The group agreed the minutes should be amended to say the City will plan and run the event. Lund pointed out a typo in the minutes under "Miscellaneous." Johnson moved approval of the minutes, Berger seconded, motion carried with Tremere abstaining. 4. Work Plan and Budget The group asked Weiler to provide a monthly report on expenditures. 5. Projects and Council Updates Bridge Builders Lund reported on the March 8 quarterly Bridge Builders event, which 20 people attended, and wondered how to get more people to attend. Several in the group suggested doing personal phone call reminders as they did in the past. Lund also reported on the purchasing process, and the group discussed pre-shopping and paying with a City check versus buying materials and turning in a reimbursement form later. At the event, Lund said there was a lack of parking at Wirth Chalet because of another event at the facility, causing people to arrive late and the event to start late. The group decided to advertise a 9:45 am check-in and 10 am start time for future events. Lund also suggested issuing a quarterly meeting report, including sending proper thanks to speakers and hosts as well as following up with participants of small group sessions. Rubinyi reported on her small group session covering Golden Valley Greenways. The group thought the next logical step would be to contact participants about how to grow the idea and connect interested folks to others. The group also agreed the ideas should be presented in the quarterly report by the person who led the group session. In addition, group session leaders would contact participants personally to thank them. Rubinyi said group leaders could outline how Bridge Builders can help, as a way to keep momentum going. Gitelis asked Lund to draw up a process for Bridge Builders to follow. Lund asked to defer it to a later date, and the group continued discussion. Schleif said that aside from sending thank you messages and recording numbers of participants, the important thing is to follow through and generate interest. He gave the example of his meetings with local convention and visitors bureaus, like St Louis Park's, which could focus on how to market Golden Valley as a whole and get people to come here and live here. Johnson suggested using CommonPlace to report and follow up, and maybe using the City website and Facebook. Schleif asked Weiler about getting a generic Envision email so Envision members wouldn't have to publish their personal email addresses. Weiler will look into it. Lund suggested that the small group coach could follow up with the idea people, summarize the discussion at the end of the meeting, and generate a report. Penk thought it would be better to follow up with a phone call. Lund reported on the arts council idea that is starting up as well as the LIVE concept as events to connect with. Rubinyi liked that LIVE has meeting dates set up for a year, published on postcards, and she advocated for Bridge Builders to do the same thing. The group then discussed publishing the group reports in CityNews. Lund suggested dividing up scheduling for the rest of the year. Discussion then moved on to the next quarterly event. Lund pointed out it's a lot of work to set up the events and suggested reviewing the list of potential venues. Schleif suggested targeting some dates, with the next one being in June. Penk thought the dates should be somewhat flexible. Gitelis suggested the group assign people to call venues, so Tanick will contact Kare 11 for the next event, Tremere will contact General Mills for the third event, and Gitelis will contact Allianz for the fourth event. Lund suggested having the General Mills event before Valley Days because of the food focus. Global Golden Vallev Johnson reported there were three very engaged presenters from three different continents for a great program, but they were disappointed in the turn-out. Cable 12 covered the event. The group discussed packaging the event and presenting it in schools. Johnson said the lack of a PA system in the Golden Valley library made it difficult for some people to hear. Gitelis suggested Davanni's for small group events because it has a sound system. Rubinyi wondered why the City didn't have a sound system available for citizens to check out. Gitelis reported the Park and Recreation Department has to be in control of the City's portable sound system and doesn't check it out. 6. New Business Community Center Task Force Weiler outlined the concept and mission of the Community Center Task Force, which is asking for a member from each City Commission. Penk and Rubinyi indicated interest; Rubinyi withdrew. Tremere moved to appoint Penk to the Task Force, Schleif seconded, motion passed. 7. Upcoming Meetings The group discussed upcoming meeting dates members were unable to attend and said members should keep Weiler notified of intended absences. 8. Adjournment Moved by Johnson and seconded by Lund. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:52 pm.

The need to partner with individuals and/or groups to is necessary because the City does not have the resources to maintain all of them. Lundstrom suggested that the parcels be categorized (e.g. developable, transferrable) as a means of assisting staff as requests are made of parcels.

The City of Crystal was absent from the roll call, Administrator Jester made a few announcements about general administrative matters. 2. CIT�ZEN FORiT1YI UN N�N-AGENDA ITEMS Peter Tiede introduced himself as an attorney representing Caroline Amplatz,a resident on Sweeney Lake.He raised the topic of aeration on Sweeney Lake and mentioned the periods in which the aeration on the lake was turned off as part of the Sweeney Lake TMDL study.Mr.Tiede stated that since the study, aeration has continued. He reported that on behalf of his client,he is developing a challenge to the Department of Natural Resource's (DNR)permit for the aeration. He said that he will keep the Commission updated and may even ask for Commission support. Mr.Tiede mentioned that sometime later in the year there may be a hearing at the DNR regarding whether the aeration should be turned off for a couple of years to see if that improves the lake quality. Commissioner Black asked who holds the permit. Mr. Tiede responded that the Sweeney Lake Association does. 3.AGENI�A Chair de Lambert reyuested to move ahead in the agenda item 6A—Review 90%Plans for Main Stem Restoration Project Golden Valley Road to Irving Avenue(CIP 2012CR)—so that it becomes item SAi. Commissioner Welch moved to approve the agenda as amended. Commissioner Black seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. 4. CONSENT AGENDA Commissioner Black moved to approve the Consent Agenda.Alternate Commissioner Crough seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. [The following items were approved as part of the Consent Agenda:the February 20,2014,BCWMC meeting minutes,the monthly financial report, and the payment of the invoices]The general and construction account balances reported in the Financial Report prepared for the March 20,2014,meeting are as follows: Checking Account Balance $812,304.07 TOTAL GENERAL FUND BALANCE $812,304.07 TOTAL CASH&INVESTMENTS ON- $2,628,517.52 HAND (3/12/14) CIP Projects Levied—Budget Remaining ($2,879,336.23) Closed Projects Remaining Balance ($250,818.71) 2013 Anticipated Tax Levy Revenue $9,662.09 2 BCWMC March 20, 2014, Meeting Minutes 2014 Anticipated Tax Levy Revenue $895,000.00 Anticipated Closed Project Balance $653,843.38 ' S,NEW BUSTNESS A. Review 50% Plans for Briarwood/Dawnview Water Quality Project in Golden Valley Joe Fox described the project and indicated on maps where the project is located.He noted the planned removal of approximately 200 trees. Mr. Fox talked about the recent neighborhood meeting where there were four attendees,and he said that they were receptive to the project as proposed. Erick Francis of WSB and Associates spoke about the continuing work to reach out to residents of the neighborhood.He noted that one property owner has indicated a desire for more space between his property and the pond.Mr. Francis explained that in order for WSB to avoid duplicating efforts,they are waiting until all resident feedback is gathered before defining the final limits of the pond,including surface area,depth,and ensuring that the iron-sand filter is proportionate to the pond in order to m�imize the effectiveness. Alternate Commissioner Tobelmann commented that the ariginal information on the project estimated achieving a reduction of 94 pounds of phosphorous per year but the most recent information indicates that the reduction will be two-thirds of that estimate.He asked what it would take to get that greater level of phosphorous removal. Mr. Francis said that they are looking at maximizing the iron-sand filter. He said that they are finalizing the plans and ensuring there is adequate safety for children,addressing residents" concerns,etc. He provided information about water main depths and storm sewer depths in the area,which impact the size of the pond and the capacity that it will be able to handle.Mr.Francis explained that due to site constraints,the pond will not be as big as they would like it to be and that it will handle a 1-inch rain event as opposed to a 2.5-inch rain event. Mr. Oliver added that to the south of the project location is wetland, so to expand the pond south would mean wetland mitigation. Engineer Chandler said that in the latest plans Mr. Francis provided to the Commission Engineer,the estimated total phosphorous removal was 47 to 69 pounds. She wanted to know if when Mr. Francis spoke about maximizing the iron-sand filter he was indicating that doing so would achieve the 47 to 69 pounds of total phosphorous removal or would it achieve a greater removal. Mr. Francis said that ideally the project will achieve the 94 pounds of total phosphorous removal and that he believes that the project can achieve a higher removal than the recent estimate of 47 to 69 pounds. There was a short discussion about the possibility of including pre-treatment as part of this project via incorporating a SAFL Baffle.Mr. Oliver said that the City and WSB are investigating the possibility. Engineer Chandler recommended the Commission move forward and conditionally approve the 50%plans and authorize the City to proceed with final plans and contract documents. She said that the project design is in flux, which is why the Commission Engineer is requesting for updated P8 water quality models to be able to see what the project will achieve. She summarized the other conditions outlined by the Commission Engineer in its memo including that the project consider pretreatment,the outlet pipe orientation be changed, and other details. Commissioner Welch asked if she means that the Commission Engineer wants to see the 3 BCWMC March 20, 2014, Meeting Minutes 90%plans. Engineer Chandler said yes, and even the revised plans prior to the 90%plans if possible. Commissioner Welch moved to approve the 50%plans with the Commission Engineer's recommendations, including the clarification that the Commission Engineer would like to see the 90%plans and if possible, revised plans prior to the 90%plans.Commissioner Black seconded the motion.Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. Al.Review 90% Plans for Main Stem Restoration Project Golden Valley Road to Irving Avenue(CIP 2012CR) Lois Eberhart introduced herself and described the project as a great opportunity for bank stabilization along the creek. She explained that most of the project is on Minneapolis Park and Recreation land with some of the project located on private property in the City of Golden Valley. Ms. Eberhart said that the City of Minneapolis is acting as the pass-through for the funding and hired the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to do the design,construction,and construction oversight. She described the recent public meeting held on the project. Ms. Eberhart reported that the project schedule is moving along and that one of the biggest hold ups is the State Historic Preservation Office approval regarding an existing wall on the project site. She explained that the project was allocated CIP project funds in the amount of$860,000 with additional BCWMC Channel Maintenance Funds in the amount of$25,000. There was a discussion of the Fruen Mill site within the project site. Erick Francis of WSB introduced the 90%plans and gave an overview of the project, which stretches from Golden Valley Road to Irving Avenue. He said that the project plan is fairly consistent with the project's feasibility study and uses a variety of stabilization practices. Mr.Francis described some of the stabilization practices that will be implemented,mentioned a draw-down of the lagoon for a minimum of three months to try to eliminate invasive species around the pond and promote native species.Mr.Francis reported that a few areas within the project have been added since the feasibility study.He said that the project is still in the permitting process with the State Historical Preservation Office and that all materials have been submitted to that office. Mr.Francis said that he does anticipate comments from the Office specifically on particular wall remnants within the project area. Mr.Francis provided more details on the project. Commissioner Welch asked if the Fruen Mill site of the project will be done as a bid alternate because of the possibility that the easement won't be in place. Ms. Eberhart said it is a good idea. Mr. Francis said it is a good question and said that once the comments on the 90%plan set are received,the project sites will be prioritized.Commissioner Welch said that the Fruen Mill site is a high priority. Commissioner Sicora asked what the project will do in terms of sediment removal.Mr. Francis said there will be no sediment removal as part of the project. There was some discussion of invasive species that will be removed as part of the project. Commissioner Welch moved approval of the plans with the Commission Engineer's recommendations. Commissioner Black seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. B. Consider Changing CIP Process to Include Final Project Report to Commission Engineer Chandler reminded the Commission that at its January meeting it asked the Commission Engineer to do a final project report on the Bassett Creek Main Stem project. She said the Commission's intent was to get information on what went well and what didn't go well in order to better inform the next project.Engineer 4 BCWMC March 20, 2014, Meeting Minutes Chandler explained that the cities have been responsible for all of the construction work and the Commission Engineer did not have oversight. She recommended that for the Bassett Creek Main Stem project,the Commission request the final project report from the City instead of the Commission Engineer. She reported that going forward if the Commission would like to have more involvement during the construction process, the Commission could consider the options presented in the Engineer's Memo on this topic. Engineer Chandler described the options discussed in the memo regarding ways that the Commission Engineer could participate. She noted that the memo recommends that the cities prepare the post-construction reports including information on the elements described in the memo and also prepare and provide interim reports to the Commission during construction. Commissioners offered comments. Commissioner Welch indicated he believes it's valuable to get another engineer's perspective on project outcomes and that the Commission Engineer is very knowledgeable about the Watershed Plan and CIP Program.Ms. Eberhart commented that she thinks the TAC should comment on this topic and on the ideas presented in the Engineer's Memo and to bring comments back to the Commission. Mr. Oliver noted that the City of Golden Valley does weekly project reporting and does not see this type of construction reporting being discussed as being a huge burden. He added that he doesn't feel it's necessary to include the Commission Engineer's participation in pre-construction conferences and during construction. Mr. Oliver expressed his concern about increasing costs that take away from funding available to actually construct the project. Commissioner Black said she would like to know if there have been problems with past projects in which input from the Commission's Engineer would have been a benefit. She raised the opinion that it seems like a trust issue is being raised.Commissioner Welch responded that he does not want this to be treated as a trust issue but instead to be a responsibility issue because the Commission is levying money each year and has a responsibility to integrate that work into its Watershed Management Plan and to understand how the projects achieve the goals of the Plan. He said that the Commission must collaborate with the cities on these projects and in order for the Commission to be a good and effective partner, it cannot simply hand over the projects to the cities because that is not good government. Alternate Commissioner Tobelmann said it would be helpful to know what information the Commissioners would want to receive regarding the construction projects and to devise a method to get that information presented in a one-page summary format. Ms. Eberhart pointed out that the Commission is the cities and the cities are accountable. She said she thinks the reporting is a great idea and it is appropriate for city staff and TAC members to make these reports. Ms. Eberhart remarked that she does not think it is a good use of funds to take away from in-the-ground project money to have the Commission Engineer spend as much time as it would take for the Commission Engineer to have the same level of understanding about each construction project as do the cities. Mr.Mathisen stated that it would not be difficult to create a standard reporting format for the cities to fill in. Engineer Chandler explained that because the Commission Engineer is not in charge of construction and is not assigned with doing day-to-day inspections,the Commission Engineer would have to duplicate the work of the contractor in order to have the level of information that it seems that the Commission is asking for. She said that the Commission Engineer could do that,but it would be expensive. Commissioner Hoschka moved to authorize the TAC and Administrator Jester to work together and develop a draft standardized reporting format. Commissioner Black seconded the motion. There was discussion. Commissioner Black requested an amendment to the motion to include that the entire concept about the CIP 5 BCWMC March 20, 2019, Meeting Minutes process is forwarded to the TAC for discussion and recommendations back to the Commission on how the Commission and cities can be more responsive and responsible to each other and the taxpayers. Commissioner Hoschka agreed to Commissioner Black's friendly amendment. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0[City of Crystal absent from vote]. Ms. Eberhart requested that Administrator Jester guide the TAC as to what the Commission perceives as broken in the process, if anything,so that the TAC understands what to specifically address and that she also share with the TAC concerns about particular past projects,again if there are any,so that the TAC has the information it needs to make recommendations per the Commission's direction. C. Discuss BWSR's Biennial Budget Request Administrator Jester gave background on BWSR's Biennial Budget Request(BBR)program and asked if the Commission wants staff to complete and submit a BBR and if so,what projects the Commission wants to include in it. She also asked if the Commission wants to encourage member cities to complete and submit their own BBR.The Commission discussed the issue. Steve Christopher of BWSR provided some information and said that it is helpful for the list to be aggressive and inclusive. The Commission indicated consensus for staff to complete and submit the BBR and to encourage the member cities to do likewise. D. TAC Recommendations i. 2016—2020 CIP List Joe Fox described the 2016-20201ist and announced a few updates to it. He said that the City of Golden Valley added to the list the Medley Park Pond Project for 2020 and at a ballpark cost of $500,000. Commissioner Welch asked for more details on the project,which Mr.Fox provided. Commissioner Welch requested a different name for the project,and the Commission agreed to call the project Medley Park Stormwater Treatment Facility. Mr.Asche noted that this area drains to Medicine Lake so it would apply to the TMDL for Medicine Lake. Commissioner Black moved to accept the TAC's recommendations with the change to the Medley Park project name. Commissioner Welch seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. Commissioner Welch requested that a link to the CIP list and project descriptions be placed at a top level on the BCWMC's website. ii. TAC Meeting Invitees Commissioner Black moved to approve the list of TAC meeting invitees as recommended by the TAC. Commissioner Welch seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. iii. XP-SWMM Phase 2 Implementation and Funding Mr.Fox provided a summary of the TAC's discussion about the XP-SWMM model. He reported that the TAC concluded that interested member cities would work with the Phase 1 XP-SWMM model for the time being and recommends that the Commission include$65,000 in its 2015 budget as a placeholder in the event they wish to move forward with the project. There was discussion about how to budget for Phase 2,concerns over assessing for it if the Commission isn't certain it will move forward with it,whether the source of the funding would be the Commission's Long-Term Maintenance Fund,how the Commission would re-establish funds drawn from the Long-Term Maintenance Fund,the idea of moving forward with Phase 2 in 2014 and taking the funds out of the Long-Term Maintenance Fund in 2014,applying the information discerned from 6 BCWMC March 20, 2014, Meeting Minutes the Phase 2 XP-SWMM model to the issues being discussed about Medicine Lake,which member cities would use the model,whether the Commission would undergo a Request for Proposals(RFP) process for the Phase 2 work,interest in undertaking an RFP process in order to receive bids on the work,concerns about undertaking an RFP process because of its cost and the amount of effort and time it would take,concerns about different firms doing the Phase 1 work compared to doing the Phase 2 work and the cost of duplication of efforts between the different firms needing to verify the assumptions,interest by the City of Plymouth to work with the Phase 1 XP-SWMM model,and Commissioner Hoschka offering to assist the City of Plymouth in using Phase 1. Mr. Mathisen indicated it was a matter of not"iP'but"when"the Commission would develop a more detailed model.Alternate Commissioner Tobelmann asked Mr. LeFevere if the Commission does not include in its 2015 budget funds for the Phase 2 project,would the Commission be capable of moving the fund from the Commission's Long-Term Maintenance Fund for the project.Mr.LeFevere responded that nothing would legally prevent the Commission from doing that,but he said that it would make sense to put into the Commission's 2015 budget a transfer of those funds and then if the Commission decides not to proceed with the project then it would not make that transfer. Commissioner Black moved to direct the Budget Committee to discuss the concept of the$65,000 placeholder and to develop a recommendation for the Commission and to approve the TAC's recommendation that the member cities,through their representatives, and the Commission Engineer should be the only ones to have access to the XP-SWMM model. Commissioner Sicora seconded the motion. There was discussion about amending the motion but the Commission decided that the amendment being discussed should be handled as a separate motion. Upon a vote,the motion on the table carried 8-0 [City of Crystal absent from vote]. Commissioner Carlson moved for the Commission to put out a Request For Proposals(RFP)to get proposals from multiple firms for the project.Alternate Commissioner Crough seconded the motion. Mr.LeFevere raised his concern about going forward with an RFP for work that the Commission hasn't yet decided to da Mr. Oliver explained that putting out an RFP for work that is this technical is time consuming and expensive both for the Commission and the respondents.He recommended that the Commission hold off on this discussion and have it at the appropriate time. There was a lengthy discussion,and Commissioner Carlson withdrew his motion and Alternate Commissioner Crough consented to the withdrawing of the motion. [City ofMinnetonka's Alternate CommissionerAcomb departs the meeting.J 6. OLD BUSINESS B. Update on Commission Engineer Review of Feasibility Study for 2015 Main Stem Restoration Project Engineer Chandler announced that the Commission Engineer is in the process of reviewing the draft feasibility study, hopes to have preliminary comments to the City next week, and the Commission Engineer's report will come to the Commission when the final feasibility report comes to the Commission at its June meeting.The Commission indicated consent of that process. C. Results of Study of Long-Term Maintenance and Replacement Needs for Flood Control Project Engineer Chandler reminded the group that the Commission requested this study due to the importance of this issue and its impact on the Next Generation Watershed Management Plan. She noted there are significant costs associated with repair and replacement of the flood control project components and its unclear which 7 BCWMC March 20, 2019, Meeting Minutes entity is responsible for certain tasks. Mr. LeFevere asked if there is any more information needed by the Commission other than that provided in the memos.He said if more information is not needed,then the Commission should decide what it would like to do regarding this issue. He said that the Commission could provide the information to the TAC or the Plan Steering Committee for review and discussion. Commissioner Black moved to add this item to the TAC's next meeting agenda and to also direct the Plan Steering Committee to discuss it. Commissioner Sicora seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 7-0 [Cities of Crystal and Minnetonka absent from vote]. D. Update on Next Generation Plan Development Administrator Jester pointed out that the notes from the Plan Steering Committee's meeting on February 11"' are in the meeting packet and that there will be a meeting this coming Monday.The Commission discussed scheduling a Plan Workshop and directed Administrator Jester to send out a Doodle poll about a few specific dates. E. Update on Medicine Lake Water Level Issue Administrator Jester reported that 36 people attended the March 4"'Medicine Lake Stakeholder meeting, including 18 residents. She described the information in the meeting packet about the input received at the meeting and announced that the Commission's website now has a Medicine Lake page where all of the information is posted online. She said that no consensus was reached,and she offered some options on how the Commission could proceed. There was a short discussion of the concerns for Medicine Lake identified at the stakeholder meeting. Commissioner Black brought up her concern that if the Joint Powers Agreement amendment isn't signed by all cities by the end of the year,then the Commission won't continue to operate and so the Commission needs to have a contingency plan.Administrator Jester agreed and said that the Commission could discuss this under the JPA agenda item. There was discussion about possible next steps by the Commission. The Commission agreed that the commissioners and alternate commissioners would go to their city councils to ask what the councils want the Commission to do and that upon request Administrator Jester could assist any commissioner or alternate commissioner with that process. [City of Golden Valley's Commissioner Hoschka departs the meeting.J Alternate Commissioner Tobelmann requested that this item be placed earlier in next month's agenda. The Commission directed Administrator Jester to communicate with AMLAC(Association of Medicine Lake Area Citizens).Mr.LeFevere asked for clarification on what the commissioners and alternate commissioners will be asking their cities.The Commission identified that it would like to know from the cities if they want the Commission to continue to move forward as a facilitator. Commissioner Sicora said he would be interested in hearing about the outcome of the meeting between the City of Plymouth and the City of Medicine Lake.Plymouth City Council Member Jim Prom said he would put together a summary memo of the meeting and would send it to Administrator Jester. F. Update on Schaper Pond Project Mr. Oliver provided background on the status of this project,explaining communications with the DNR and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA),and issues arising regarding project permits and a determination that the City of Golden Valley would not be able to take MS4 permit credit for this project. He described further problems with recent communications that the City of Golden Valley received from the MPCA and the involvement of other parties such as the Minnesota Cities Stormwater Coalition and the League of Minnesota Cities. Mr. Oliver said that the City is waiting for information and that there will need to 8 BCWMC March 20, 2014, Meetinq Minutes be some conversations with the Commission about next steps,whether this project should go forward and whether another project would need to be undertaken in order to achieve the phosphorous goals that were planned to be achieved by the Schaper Pond Project. Administrator Jester said that more information will be coming to the Commission about this issue. G. Update on Watershed Map Project Administrator Jester provided a brief update and said that the project is moving forward. H.

G. Approval of Bassett Creek Regional Trail Feasibility Report Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist Summary The City of Golden Valley received a grant from Hennepin County to study the feasibility of developing a bikeway along County State Aid Highway 66 (CSAH 66)from Regent Avenue North to Xerxes Avenue North. For reference, CSAH 66 is also known as Duluth Street or Golden Valley Road in portions of this corridor (please see attached location map). The CSAH 66 corridor is identified by Three Rivers Park District, Hennepin County, and the City for development of a future regional trail facility which would connect French Park in Plymouth to Theodore Wirth Park in Golden Valley. After years of planning and public participation, Three Rivers Park District finalized its Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master Plan in 2012. The City of Golden Valley adopted a resolution supporting the Master Plan, which identified CSAH 66 as the recommended route for development of the Bassett Creek Regional Trail. The City provided its support of the Master Plan with the understanding that there would be an additional opportunity to provide input and refine the details of the trail during the design phase of trail development. Although the Bassett Creek Regional Trail is not yet programmed for construction, this feasibility study provides the City an opportunity to work with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District to further evaluate the CSAH 66 corridor and identify issues important to Golden Valley and its stakeholders, well ahead of the design phase. The feasibility study includes the following: � Meetings with stakeholders and community participation � Identification of opportunities and challenges � Evaluation of potential traffic control needs and roadway modifications � Recommendation of a preferred alignment � Preparation of typical cross-sections for the existing and proposed conditions ~ Planning level cost estimates Representatives of SRF Consulting Group, Inc. and City staff presented the findings and recommendations of the study to the City Council at its March 11, 2014 Council/Manager meeting. The draft report is attached and reflects the input provided by stakeholders and the community. If the feasibility report is approved by City Council, staff will distribute the report to Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to assist in future planning efforts. The report will also be forwarded to the City's Bottineau LRT Station Area Planning Committee.

Planning level cost estimates have been prepared for maintenance improvements within Section One,the existing trail from H ighway 100to CSAH 66,and for SectionsTwo&Three along the south side of CSAH 66 from Regent Avenue North to Xerxes Avenue North.The estimated costs in this study are for implementation only and do not address on-going operations and maintenance.This study does not include costs for bridge improvements associated with making the CS/�H 66 Railroad Bridge trail-ready. f�etailed cost estimates for Sections One,Two and Three are induded in Appendix A. Summarized estimated total costs for each of the three sections are as follows: Section Or�e-Existing local trail improvements from Highway 100 pedestrian bridge to CSAH 66/Duluth Street, including pedestrian ramp installations:$17,000. Section Two-Regional trail development from Regent Avenue North toTheodore Wirth Parkway:$2,144,000. Section Three- Off-street bikeway development from Theodore Wirth Parkway to Xerxes Avenue North:$397,400. The development of Bassett Creek Regional Trail along CSAH 66 is not yet included in future capital plans and therefore may be several years in the future.As improvements in the CSAH 66/Golden Valley Road corridor are planned,trail development could be completed in phases to align with other projects in the area. �.

In order to make room for the trail, it is necessary to reconfigure the lane and shoulder widths.The proposed lane widths meet the minimum State Aid standards and allow for appropriate reaction zones in the shoulders. Oppartunities for bikeable shoulders along CSAH 66 may be explored during final design. In many cases the curb along the south side of CSAH 66 will need to be relncated to gain additional space to develop the trail. Although the intent is to stay within the existing road right-of-way, two locations may require trail easements because the required lane configurations at intersections utilize more of the existing right-of-�way.These two locations are at Noble Avenue North , ;; and Hidden Lakes Parkway. � i � I � . �:: ____�.;, � ` _ ��,,� .-�,��1 �� _�,. �°� � �. �:. � ,�. � � , �,._ �.

Bridge pedestrian access may be addressed in future bridge improvements associated with the Bottineau LF�T development. Theodore Wirth Parkway Intersection Future development along CS�H 66/Golden Valley Road associated with the Bottineau LRT project may have a dramatic impact on traffic and pedestrian activity in the area. The layout of the CSAH 66/Golden Valley Road/TheodorH 1Nirth Parkway intersectian may change as a result of the proposed LRT station at CSAH 66/Golden Valley Road. Th� trail alignment along the south side may need to be adjusted to provide access to the proposed LRT station and to crnss the Theodore Wirth Parkway intersection. �{�.��:�;�''�' ��.��;;;�� i���B�G°��������c�r� � ieext�t��5 Implementation & Next Steps The City of Golden Valfey initiated the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Feasibility Study ahead of trail development to bettc r understanc� the issues and opportuniti�s associated v�ith the trail along a challenging stretch of roadway.The �rocess of undergoing a feasibility study has provided th� City `- � and its residents the opportunity to understand the issues � ��,+ ,p�qui' ti1� associated with trail development and to prnvide input early � �� � in the development process.

One objective of the feasibility study was to identify locations for new sidewalk along the north side of CSAH 66 to provide continuous pedestrian access on both sides of the roadway. This is included as a line item in the cost estimates for Sections Two and Three.Costs associated with upgrading the existing sidewalk segments to City standards on the north side of CSAH 66 are not included in the study or in the cost estimates. �� ,,��� ��;� �, �.�; ��,., g�r ��;a�.�i�:rt��a����.���s�� � ����;�. .:��:��Ss Estimated costs for relocating utility poles in the right-of- way are included in the cost estimate. If utility poles require relocation tn the edge of the roac� right-of-way, additional c.osts may be incurred to acquire utility easements.The City may explor� the option of burying utility lines along CSAH 66.For the purpose of this study,costs associated with utility burial, which may be significantly higher, are not included. Additional planning and design are needed in consultation with utility companies to determine the feasibility and cost of utility burial. Trail Development and Phasing The development of Bassett Creek Regianal Trail along CSAH 66 is not yet included in future capital plans and therefore may be several years in the future. /�s improvements in the CS/�H 66/Golden Valley Road corridor are planned, trail development could be complet�d in phases to align with smaller projects in the area. Future Projects Sevcral �rojects are planned or anticipated for the CSAH 66/Golden Valley Road corridor in the coming years.These projects may provic�e an oppnrtunity to develop portions of the trail.Potential projects include: »Bottineau LRT and station »CenterPoint Energy gas main replacement project »Hennepin County bituminous overlay project »Other potential utility improvement projects .,�y�����'�� �.�:_ ����i;��,=' Appendix A: Preliminary Cost Estimates Section 1 Preliminary Cost Estimate UNIT LEGEND: LS=Lump Sum,SF=Square Feet,SY=Square Yard,EA=Each, LF=Lineal Foot,CY=Cubic Yards,AC=Acre,RD STA=Road Station Section 1:TH 100 Pedestrian Bridge to Golden Valley Road Preliminary Construction Estimate(2014 Dollars) Estimated Unit Price Total Notes Traillmprovements Unit Qty.

Proclamation for Arbor Day and Arbor Month Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Tim Teynor, Assistant City Forester Summary The City of Golden Valley was recently awarded the 2013 Tree City USA Award. It is the 27tn consecutive year Golden Valley has received the national recognition. A fifth Tree City Growth Award was also earned. Tree City USA recognizes communities that have proven their commitment to an effective, ongoing community forestry program. Tree City USA is sponsored in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. To become a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: 1. Operate a forestry division 2. Have a tree ordinance 3. Manage a comprehensive community forestry program 4. Observe Arbor Day This year's Arbor Day activities will be celebrated with the fourth grade class at the School of Engineering and Arts located at 1751 Kelly Drive on May 15 at 2:30 pm. The event will include a short presentation at the school about the value of urban trees. Staff will award prizes to the winners of the Arbor Day poster contest followed by a recitation of the City's Arbor Day Proclamation. The fourth grade class will end the program by planting a tree on school grounds and staff will distribute packaged tree seedlings for each of the fourth grade students to take home and plant. Staff has conducted Arbor Day programs at several elementary schools throughout the community in the past.

K. Authorizing the Transfer from General Fund to the Capital Improvement, Workers Compensation, Building and Equipment Replacement Funds Prepared By Susan Virnig, Finance Director Summary The City of Golden Valley seeks to have a good balance in its General Fund in order to have sufficient reserves for cash flow purposes, projects, and unexpected shortfalls or emergencies. The City established a formal policy on the level of fund balance that should be maintained in the General Fund. In addition, establishing a General Fund Balance Policy to assure adequate reserves indicates fiscal prudence and maintains a high rating with bond-rating agencies, which prefer to see very strong and healthy balances. When the balance is greater than 60 percent, it should be reduced to 60 percent by using the excess funds for specific one-time projects, acquisitions, or transfers to capital funds. They may also be used to provide limited property tax relief; for example, to lessen the impact of the property tax rate. The amount of those funds in the undesignated balance should be reduced to 60 percent. If kept above 60 percent, the next year's general fund budget should be approved including use of fund balance to balance the budget. The importance on the one time use is that the City does not incur future expenditures that may create deficits in future budgets. For instance, when a one-time building permit revenue is received on a major commercial development, the City should not expect that same revenue will be received as future building permits. Budgets should be set using an average year of revenues and expenditures and not an exceptional year. In 2013, Golden Valley was extremely fortunate due to eonstruction with both new and existing buildings. The following transfers will be made: Capital Improvement Fund 2241 Legend Drive $ 500,000 Workers Compensation Fund Workers Compensation $ 200,000 Building Fund Fire Facility and Retention Study $ 50,000 Equipment Replacement Fund Future Fire Pumper 140 000 TOTAL TRANSFERS $ 890,000 Attachments • Resolution Authorizing the Transfer from General Fund to the Capital Improvement, Workers Compensation, Building and Equipment Replacement Funds (1 page) Recommended Action Motion to adopt Resolution Authorizing the Transfer Of$890,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Improvement Fund of$500,000, Workers Compensation Fund of$200,000, Building Fund of$50,000 and Equipment Replacement Fund of$140,000.
