The report is mandated by state statute, and is designed to provide assistance to the SCWMO to manage and work the commission' swatershed management plan. In general, the report shows that the SCW M 0 has been doing a very good job implementing the plan and managing the watershed' s surface water resources.

Board���fWate,r and SOMI Resources Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission Summary of Performance Review Results What BWSR Found The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission operates as an effective, collaborative entity for addressing complex watershed management issues in a developed urban area. They have aggressively, �1 pursued major program elements of their watershed management plan and have made significant progress in plan implementation. The commission has met all but two of BWSR's watershed management organization basic performance standards. They need to address the timeliness and content of their annual activity reports, and they should adopt a data practices policy. They should also work to ensure that the two unapproved local water management plans in theirwatershed are processed quickly. The commission is commended for meeting the following high performance standards: • Board member training • Operational guidelines • Plan goals and objectives guide annual budgeting • Water quality trends tracked for priority water bodies Website content Obtain stakeholder input Partnerships: cooperative projects/tasks done with others Coordination with county/city/township BWSR makes six recommendations for the commission to consider: ensure that their annual activity reports are content -compliant and submitted on time, adopt a data practices policy and procedures, ensure completion and approval of local water management plans, re-examine project funding limits, develop a cost share program, and begin tracking public education and outreach outcomes. Performance Review and Assistance Program Level II Report Shingle Creek WMC LGU REVIEW DRAFT October 1, 2009 Background Purpose Scope Findings and Discussion (Parts 1-3) Conclusions Recommendations LGU Response Appendices In January 2008 the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) adopted a strategic plan with a mission statement to improve and protect Minnesota's water and soil resources by working in partnership with local organizations and private landowners. The strategic plan recognizes the essential role of the system of local governments, such as watershed management organizations, in delivering the programs and projects that will accomplish this mission. One approach to making that local deliveiy system the best it can be is BWSR's implementation of a program authorized by the 2007 Minnesota legislature. Called the Performance Review and Assistance Program (PRAP), its purpose is to periodically review and assess the performance of local units of government that have land conservation and water management responsibilities. These include soil and water conservation districts, watershed districts, watershed management organizations, and the local water planning function of counties. BWSR has developed four levels of review and assistance, from routine to specialized, depending on the program mandates and the needs of the local governmental unit.1 A Level I review annually tabulates the local governmental unit's compliance with basic organizational requirements. In Level II, conducted by BWSR once every five years for each local government unit, the focus is on the degree to which the organization is accomplishing its management plan. A Level II review includes determination of compliance with BWSR's Level I and II statewide performance standards, a tabulation of progress on planned goals and objectives, a discussion among board members of the factors affecting plan implementation, and a BWSR staff report to the organization with findings, conclusions and recommendations. BWSR's actions in Levels III and Iv include elements of Levels I and II and then emphasize assistance to address the local governmental unit's specific needs. 1 For more information about BWSR's Performance Review and Assistance Program see the 2008 Report to the Legislature at http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/PRAP/index.html Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Page 2 Performance Review and Assistance Program Shingle Creek WMC LGU REVIEW DRAFT Level II Report October 1, 2009 Of the 12 action items from the watershed management plan that have not been started, 9 are either items that the commission would work on if there were a request or need for that service or items that have been superseded by tasks associated with other programs. One item, determining the need for a wetland banking program, has not been addressed yet. Two action items, one of which is an expansion of the lake monitoring effort and the other is the revision of their 10 -year watershed management plan, are scheduled to begin in late 2009 and 2010 respectively. Part 2: Charting Performance Against Standards This part of the performance review indicates the commission's compliance with a set of performance standards that BWSR has developed for all watershed management organizations. The standards are designed to be indicative of the overall performance of the organization. There are three types of standards: basic (which all WMOs would be expected to meet), high (which list advanced practices that reflect above average or superior performance by a WMO), and quantitative (which are designed to identify level of effort or quantity of outputs). The standards indicate performance in four general areas of operation: administrative, planning, execution and communication and coordination. The results for the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission are shown in Appendix B. The commission meets 7 of BWSR's 9 non -quantitative basic performance standards for watershed management organizations. The two basic standards that the commission does not meet are submitting their annual activity report on- time and having a current data practices policy. The quantitative basic performance standards reveal that the commission has approved 7 out of the 9 local water plans for cities in the watershed. According to the watershed management plan (Appendix G, Table G-1) the commission was to have completed review of the member cities' local plans by 2005. Of the 10 applicable high performance standards, the commission has met 8 of them. These standards indicate operational characteristics that exceed expected watershed management organization performance. Particularly noteworthy among these standards is the collaborative public opinion research that the commission sponsored that is listed as "obtain stakeholder input within last 5 years." The commission had originally reported compliance with the standard for monitoring and reporting trends in watershed yield. (Watershed yield measures flow at a downstream watershed discharge point as a function of precipitation received over the entire watershed.) However, on further clarification they have collected data that would allow them to determine these values but during the last several years they have not calculated and reported the trend of this parameter. The next section of the report lists these standards as commendations that recognize the above average operational performance in these areas. Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Page 4 Performance Review and Assistance Program Level 11 Report Shingle Creek WMC LGU REVIEW DRAFT October 1, 2009 This section contains BWSR's conclusions about the performance of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission and lists any action items or commendations. The commission operates as an effective, collaborative entity for addressing complex watershed management issues in a developed urban area. They have aggressively pursued major program elements of their watershed management plan and have made significant progress in plan implementation. BWSR commends the Commission for their excellent long term planning with an emphasis toward keeping the plan current through amendments. Action Items The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission should act as soon as possible to address the following action items, which are BWSR's basic performance standards (see recommendations 1-3): M Activity report: on-time and content compliant According to Minnesota Rule 8410, watershed management organizations are required to submit their annual activity report to BWSR within 120 days of the end of their fiscal year. 0 Data practices policy Consult with the State Department of Administration to obtain information about written policies and procedures for responding to citizen data requests. U Local water management plans Work with two cities that have not yet adopted local water management plans to ensure plan completion. Commendations The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission is commended for meeting these high performance standards: • Board member training: orientation and continuing education record for each board member • Operational guidelines exist and current • Plan goals and objectives guide annual budgeting • Water quality trends tracked for priority water bodies • Website contains meeting notices, agendas & minutes; updated after each board meeting; additional content • Obtain stakeholder input within last 5 years • Partnerships: cooperative projects/tasks done with neighboring districts and organizations, counties cities, non-governmental organizations • Coordination with county/city/township by board members Recommendations Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Page 6 Performance Review and Assistance Program Level 11 Report Shingle Creek WMC LGU REVIEW DRAFT October 1, 2009 those results, the commission is in an excellent position to begin tracking changes in public knowledge and opinion on watershed management issues that result from their efforts. This is one of BWSR's high performance "standards that, if implemented, would be commendable among local governmental units managing water resources.

Buckhout began by giving an overview of the performance review process. 1'How often does your board review your plan orassess progress mnplanned objectives? Carstens: We review as projects come up, when projects fall within the plan. [We don't] necessarily sit down and formally review the plan. Mathisen: When we go through the budget, general and capital budgets. Talk about a lot of the issues in the plan. Water quality. Constantly reviewing how much money we are spending on projects. Talk about the Cap. Really, review isongoing. Matthiesen: Water quality, wetland plan and lake management plans are mandated by the plan. Spector: Last budget did authorize funding to expand Water Quality Plan. Meeting goals of TMDLs and Water Quality Plan. DEStauner: Continuity of water, how waterbodies affect other waterbodies. TMDLs. Ongoing progress in creeks, bywater body. LeFevere: Annual Report requires discussion of the items in the plan. Annual Report is approved every year 2. Where has your organization made the most progress in implementing your plan objectives in the past few years? Towhat dmyou attribute that progress? Mathisen: We have been the PCA's guinea pig for TMDLs - big progress, chloride, dissolved oxygen. Commission hasn't done big capital projects. Carstens: Monitoring isacritical piece ofthis.

Lot ofcities like home town rule. Johnson: one of things I've noticed is diligence of Commissioners, attend meetings, [are] polite. VVenck,staff, Commissioners have done agood job. DEStauner: Monitoring of stream and lake bodies is critical, gathering the data. Important on all levels. Carstens: Collaboration with citizens, other agencies, outreach programs. Gicora:Joint efforts, emphasis oneducation. Matthiesen: Each one of the cities has a mindset to do the right thing, whether water quality, flooding, project. Does not have to end at municipal boundaries. LD|ehaug: Funding isboth apositive and anegative, particularly funding for grants.

K8mmma: Cities are struggling, foreclosures, don't know ifthey will beable tocome upwith money for projects, don't know how [this]will affect future projects. Spector: Funding assistance, whether through tax authority, additional grants, additional funding options. DanS: I have to second that — unfunded mandates, We're told we have to meet standards, but need to find the money to do them. Johnson: Money doesn't have to drive — volunteers will have to step up, how do we reach these volunteers? Hopefully we will be less dependent on the finances. As Earth Day coordinator I get less and less, have to get donations, corporate support. Someday I may have to do with nothing and depend solely on volunteers. DEStauner:The more weknow about our watershed, the better offweare—wet|ands,eventhesmaU ones. All our watersheds are important. The more we know.... The more we can put into monitoring, the better position we'll be in. Carstens: Using the resources wehave. 7. How will your organization use any of the information you gained from this review in communicating or working with your partners and customers? Johnson: This iswhat vvetalk about every month. Carstens: Helping uscontinue the discussion.

The policy outlines the type of services or organizations that may receive funds from charitable gambling proceeds and is based on language in Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.12, Subd. 25. This allowed the Council to provide funds to local food shelves serving Crystal residents and Community Mediation Services. In July, I received the attached letter from Community Mediation Services requesting $1,000 in 2010. Other cities supporting Community Mediation Services include: Brooklyn Center Brooklyn Park Champlin Corcoran Golden Valley Hopkins Maple Grove Minnetonka Mound New Hope Orono Plymouth Robbinsdale St. Louis Park Community Mediation Services, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) organization and as such, is qualified to receive charitable gambling proceeds so the Council could use some of its lawful gambling 10% fund in City Initiative Fund for this request.

REGULAR AGENDA 36th 1. The Council will consider a request for a sign variance at 4701 36 Avenue North to allow off -premises advertising for Advancements in Dermatology (4725 36th) The small office building at 4725 — 36th Avenue fronts on Orchard Avenue and has no street frontage on 36th Avenue. The owner of this building would like to use a portion of an existing free standing sign at 4701 — 36th to advertise a business at 4725 — 36th. This is considered an off -premises sign and requires a variance. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application on October 12 and recommended approval of the variance based on the findings of fact in the staff report. 2. The Council will consider a conditional use permit for part of the building at 5400 Douglas Drive North to be used by an institutional use in the 1-1 district (Conquerors Christian Center to be addressed as 5270 Hanson Court). The property at 5270 Hanson Court is zoned Light Industrial. A church intends to use the first floor for services, other church uses and administrative uses. A conditional use permit is required for this use. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application on October 12 and recommended approval of the conditional use permit based on the findings of fact and subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report. 3. The Council will consider the 2010 West Metro Fire District budget. According to the West Metro Fire District Joint Powers Agreement, both cities are required to approve West Metro's budget by October 31. The 2010 West Metro budget has been reviewed and discussed at several work sessions. The 2010 budget is $2,035,984, a -.2% change from the revised 2009 budget. Recommend approval of West Metro's 2010 budget. 4. The Council will consider the Second Reading of an ordinance and its summary ordinance for publication relating to Ward boundaries in the City; amending Section 205 of the Crystal City Code. This ordinance makes several minor changes to update legal descriptions of ward boundaries in the City. The first reading was approved on October 6; recommend approval of the second reading. The city clerk and GIS technician made two minor amendments (bolded in the ordinance). Page 3 of 5 Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda October 20, 2009 V11. Regular Agenda continued 5. The Council will consider a resolution approving abatement of taxes for North suburban Emergency Assistance Response (N.E.A.R.) located at 5209 West Broadway. As discussed at several work sessions, one of the local food shelves, NEAR, relocated to a larger facility at 5209 West Broadway. During the acquisition and closing process, the issue of current property taxes was not addressed. NEAR has approached Crystal about abating the local portion of 2009 property taxes. State law does allow for the abatement of local property taxes. If the Council approves this abatement, the property taxes would be decreased by this amount and would likely come from the Council's contingency fund. 6. The Council will consider amending its regular meeting schedule (move the start time from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on November 3, 2009 or move the regular meeting to Monday, November 2, 2009). There is a Robbinsdale School District school board election on November 3rd. State law requires any public meetings on that day to be held after the polls close at 8 p.m. November 3rd is the regularly scheduled meeting for the Crystal Council. The Council should discuss whether to meet on November 3rd at 8 p.m. or reschedule the meeting to 7:00 p.m., Monday, November 2nd. 7. The City Council will consider a resolution amending the 2009 General Fund Budget to provide for a temporary building inspector. Community Development staff are responsible for inspections for point of sale, rentals, building, vacant properties and code compliance. There is currently a backlog of pending inspections, due to the volume of inspections required. In order to manage the backlog, a temporary contractor building inspector has been hired. The 2009 budget does not include funds for this; recommend approval of the amendment. 8. The Council will consider a resolution adopting the Final Fee Schedule for 2010 Utility Billing Rates and Charges. The 2010 utility rates were reviewed at the October 8 work session. Recommend approval of the 2010 utility rates. Page 4 of 5 Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda October 20, 2009 VIII.

Pond i nV) CONSENT AGENDA #4 TO: Mayor and City Council Anne Norris, City Manager FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director C Y SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution Making Annual Elections for the 2010 Insurance Policy Background There are many choices that must be made each year as part of the process of applying for the renewal of the City's insurance policies. Two of these choices must be made by the City Council, not the staff. One of these choices is whether or not to waive the statutory limit on tort liability. The other is whether or not to provide worker's compensation insurance for the City Council. Liability Insurance: The City must select one of three options for the statutory tort limit on liability claims. The options are as follows: 1. Do not waive the statutory tort limit. In this case, no individual will be able to recover more than $500,000 from the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will be limited to $1,500,000. 2. Waive the statutory tort limit but do not purchase excess liability insurance. In this case, an individual will be able to recover up to $1,500,000 from the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will still be limited to $1,500,000. 3. Waive the statutory tort limit and purchase excess liability insurance. In this case, an individual will be able to recover up to the limit of the coverage purchased by the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will still be limited to the coverage purchased by the City. The City of Crystal doesn't purchase excess liability insurance because our circumstances don't require it and the excess insurance is quite expensive. This eliminates option 3 above. Workers Compensation Insurance for City Council Members: Unlike city employees, elected officials are not automatically covered by the worker's compensation law. Cities wishing to cover elected officials need to pass an ordinance or resolution to make the elected officials "employees" for purposes of worker's comp coverage. Providing the coverage means that a city council member who is injured while on city business would receive worker's compensation benefits. The risk of such an injury is low, but the benefits would be important to the individual if it happened. I estimate that the premium to provide this coverage to the entire city council will total less than $100 in 2010. Insurance Agent: The City of Crystal has used the Nesbit Agencies as its insurance agent for many years. A lump sum fee is paid to the agent instead of commissions which are a percentage of the insurance premiums. This fee was $7,000 for the 2009 insurance year and will remain at $7,000 for the 2010 year. I recommend staying with the Nesbit Agencies because their service has been good and there they have developed the knowledge of the city required to effectively carry out the function of the insurance agent. Conclusion I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution making elections for the 2010 insurance policy. RESOLUTION MAKING ANNUAL ELECTIONS FOR THE 2010 INSURANCE POLICY WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must declare whether or not to waive the statutory limit on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04, and WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must declare whether or not to provide worker's compensation insurance for elected officials, and WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must appoint the insurance agent that will represent the city in dealing with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the City of Crystal does not waive the statutory limit on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04 for the 2010 insurance policy. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Crystal elects to provide worker's compensation insurance for members of the City Council while on city business. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Crystal appoints the Nesbit Agencies as its agent of record for purchasing insurance policies. Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 6t" day of October, 2009. ReNae Bowman, Mayor ATTEST: Janet Lewis, City Clerk CONSENT AGENDA #5 RESOLUTION NO. 2009 - APPROVING POLICE EQUIPMENT REVOLVING FUND EXPENDITURE FOR THE PURCHASE OF POLICE EQUIPMENT TO BE FULLY REIMBURSED BY A JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT WHEREAS, the City Manager's office has received and recommends approval of said appropriations, and WHEREAS, the appropriation is fully refundable from Hennepin County to the 2009 Police Equipment Fund Budget, and WHEREAS, the City Council hereby acknowledges that the funds will be used to purchase the following equipment for the police department: 1. One DVR/A-Lidio Recording System 2. Four In -squad Mobile Data Computers 3. Thirty-one Beretta handguns 4. One Ballistic Shield 5. One Evidence Manager Bar Code System WHEREAS, the City has independent quotes from the appropriate vendors for the purchase of the above listed equipment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL hereby authorizes the expenditure from the Police Equipment Revolving Fund to purchase the above listed equipment. The total expenditure will not exceed the $57,329 that Hennepin County has allocated to the City of Crystal as part of the federal stimulus package from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Analysis OfWater Demand Within the ]W[Service Area A. 1. Water Use over the Past 10 Years Tables 1'1through 1-3present data for population, service connections, total water sold, and average daily water demand for the cities ofCrystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope, from 1998tO2UO7. Table 1'4presents similar information for the entire JYYCservice area, defined by the corporate limits of the three cities. The data was obtained from JVYCmember city pumping and water bitting records. The JYVCdoes not sell any wholesale water tOother public water providers. Population, volume ofwater sold and number ofservice connections have shown bt1[C variability over the last ten years. The population 0fJVVCmember cities has held steady o[decreased very slightly. Variations inwater use over the last ten years have been due mainly tovariations in rainfall patterns and surnrne[ temperatures. 4'2' Per Capita Water Use Per capita water use and per capita residential water use for the JYVC is presented in Table 1-5' Per [op/&u water use is determined by dividing the total water Usage per day (including residential, commercial and industrial classes) h»the total service area population and isexpressed asgallons per capita per day (gpcd)' Total per capita water use has averaged 105'5 gpcd over the last ten years. Residential per capita water consumption is calculated by dividing the aY2[D8e residential daily water demand bythe total population. |1has averaged 81'1 Qpcdduring this period. This falls within the range normally expected for residential water use and i5 slightly above the average for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. A'3. Water Demand h«Customer Category Historical annual water sales data is reported in three customer categories: residential, commercial and industrial. This information is presented inTables 1'6' 1-7 and 1-8 for the three JVVC member cities and in Table 1'9 for the JYVC as avYhoie' Residential water sales has been the Largest demand category inthe JYYC, averaging 98 percent of total water use in Crystal, 63 percent in Golden Valley and 75 percent in New Hope. Total water use for the JYYChas averaged 77percent residential, 1Bpercent commercial and 5 percent industrial. As in at[ water systems, some ofthe water purchased from Minneapolis is never sold to water system customers. The difference between the water produced and the water sold isreferred toasunaccounted-for water. |tcan result from many factors including unidentified leaks inthe distribution system, water main breaks, periodic fire hydrant flushing, fire fighting and training' unmetered hockey rink flooding, municipal pool uses, storage tank maintenance, unauthorized use, unmetered services, and inaccurate meters. Unaccounted-for water use below 1Upercent can be usually explained bynormal system leakage and meter inaccuracies and isconsidered acceptable. - JWC unaccounted-for water use is estimated by comparing the average annual water purchased from the City of Minneapolis with the average annual metered consumption of the JVYC customers and is shOYYD in Table 1'10' Unaccounted-for water use has ranged from 5to13percent ofthe total water purchased from Minneapolis. Historically, th8JYVC has identified some inconsistencies iD purchased and sold VYdte[ data. In some years, the volume of water purchased from Minneapolis is reported as lower than the volume of water billed to customers. To remedy this, all three cities have replaced water meters within the last few years. In 2007, theJYYC purchased and installed new intake meters for Crystal and Golden Valley reservoirs. In 2008, Minneapolis overbilled the JWC for several months due to assumed low meter readings. This was later found to be an erroneous assumption. The JVYC works with the City of Minneapolis tocalibrate water supply meters regularly. 4'4' Large Volume Customers High volume users are defined as water customers that use more than five percent of the total water consumption inaservice area. There are currently DOhigh volume water consumers inthe JYYCservice area. /\'5. Seasonal and Peak Water Demands summer use averages 150 percent of winter use. High summer water use is due to a seasonal increase in non-essential water uses such as baYYO and garden watering and recreational uses. 4'6. Water Use Trends Water use trends have been stable over the past ten years with some variability due to seasonal climatic conditions. B. Treatment and Storage Capacity B.1, Water Treatment Plant Capacity The JYYC currently purchases treated potable water from the {jtv of Minneapolis and does not have a water treatment plant. As the supplier Oftreated water, Minneapolis must deliver water to theJVVC that meets Primary Drinking Water Standards. Minneapolis owns and operates two water treatment plants. Almost all ofthe water purchased by the JVYC from Minneapolis istreated at its Fridley water treatment facility. The Fridley facility provides time softening, filtration, fluoridation, and chlorination. Minneapolis plans toinitiate membrane U[trD-fi[trahon treatment at the Fridley facility in 2012. The Columbia Heights plant currently provides membrane u[tra'fiit[adODin addition to filtration and chlorination. Page 10 / 45 B'2' Storage Capacity The JWC water system operates as one pressure zone. The Golden Valley ground reservoir system consists oftwo 4'5miition-ga[ton(MG)tanks. The reservoirs typically receive water from the City ofMinneapolis during the night between 11 p.m. and 6a.[n' Water from the reservoirs is then pumped into the distribution system h«five vertical turbine pumps, each with a rated capacity of 4,000 8oiioOs per minute (Qpm), The Crystal ground reservoir system consists oftwo 4'5-khG tanks and one 1O -MG tank located just north 0fthe Crystal Utility Department. Similarly, Minneapolis typically fills the Crystal reservoirs between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are five vertical turbine pumps in the booster station, each rated at 4,500 gpm. The JWC water system has three elevated water tanks, one inGolden Valley and two in New Hope. These tanks offer dtotal of3.5miibon-ga(tons of operating storage. They are used to store water during low demand periods and release water during high demand periods, fire events, and emergency situations. |fthe JWCwere to experience an interruptionintheNh water supply, reliance would be0lthe 31'5 million gallons ofmaximum operating storage inthe five ground reservoirs and three elevated water tanks. This storage can continue tosupport the average daily demands for over four days, assuming all ofthe reservoirs and elevated water tanks are full. To date, storage has been adequate tomeet all demands. B.3. Source of Water Supply The JYY[ currently purchases treated potable water from the City of Minneapolis and has nowells orsurface water intakes. The JWC receives all ofits water through metered interconnections with the Minneapolis system. The City ofMinneapolis withdraws water from the Mississippi River etaD intake structure located in the City of Fridley. The water is conveyed to water treatment facilities where it is treated to potable standards. It is distributed to the Minneapolis service area and surrounding suburbs including the JWC. O'4. Wholesale oFRetail Interconnections TheJYY[ maintains no wholesale Or retail interconnections with other public water providers. O'5. Emergency IOte[[OnO8[tOOs The JWC maintains no emergency interconnections with other public water providers. C. Demand Projections C,1. Projected Growth Located inHennepin County, the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope are first der suburbs of the {]tv of Minneapolis. During the 1950`5 and 1960`s, the JYYC member Page 11 / 45 build -out. Since then, population has declined very slightly, attributable to shrinking household size from children growing up and Leaving home. There are only avery few vacant parcels scattered throughout the planning area that are suitable for development. Development of these remaining parcels is not expected to significantly effect the population. Current population projections nmayundeFeSb[na1ethepoteDUa[fVrfuturepopuiabOO increases due tolarge-scale redevelopment. One such redevelopment opportunity isthe MAC`s Crystal Regional Airport site. The Crystal Comprehensive Plan has identified this potential redevelopment opportunity. In the City ofGolden Valley, several redevelopment projects have been realized over the past five to ten years. Due to their size, these projects have not had d significant impact ODthe City's population and water consumption. The City 0fNew Hope currently has ofew relatively small redevelopment opportunities. There are some undeveloped Lots zoned for industrial, CODl0enciaL and residential development, but they are small in scale and have limited potential toeffect the overall population. ['3. Projected Demand Water use projections are based onthe following assumptions: • Continued stable o[slightly declining population inthe J\NC area fnaccordance with the MetropolitanCouncil's projections; m Reduced per capita water consumption due to enhanced water conservation efforts; w A steady maximum -day to average -day water demand ratio of2'4; and, m 4steady ratio Ofpeak hourly tomaximum daily water demand. Crystal, Golden Valley and New Hope have ordinances that call for restrictions inwater use only when the City Minneapolis restricts water use. Historical data reflects unrestricted water demands. /\53unning that effective water conservation policies are adopted by Minneapolis, Crystal, Golden Valley and New Hope, per capita water use could bereduced from 8Ogpcdin2O08to75gpcdbyZO1]. Peak -day demands from 1998 to2OO7were used to develop Deak'dnvto average -day ratios for future years. Peak -day demands inthe JYYChave all occurred during the summer. Because the JWC water use shows significant seasonal variability, reducing seasonal use and corresponding peak -day demands will be dtarget ufthe JYVC conservation pian' Projected peak -day LUaverage-day ratios are projected to be 2.5 from 2OO8through 2O13and beyond. Tables 1'11' 1'12, 1'13 and 1'14present projected Yva[erdennandsin Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope and theJYYC as Owhole for the next ten years. To confirm the adequacy ofthe existing system to meet the projected demands, the storage and pumping capacity were analyzed. Average demand is expected to be 6.7- 7.0 nngd and Page 12 / 45 projected maximum -day demandia expected to reach 17'42ngdiDthe year 2017'Table 1'15provides asummary ofthe capacity ofthe water supply components Ofthe water Based on the demand projections, theexistiDg water supply is expected to be adequate to meet projected water demands through 2017 and beyond. C']. Storage Operating storage must be sufficient to meet peak domestic and fire f Low demands simultaneously. Because Minneapolis delivers water tothe JYVC between 11 p.m. and G a.m., the JWC must meet all demand from storage during off-deLivery times. The Insurance Services Office U5O\recommends that the JWC be able tosupply a3,500 gp0O fire flow for three hours (0.63 MG). Therefore, a FnDxinnunm day demand with afire condition requires 18.1 MGofwater. The JYY['stotal storage capacity of31'5NVGiS sufficient tomeet the maximum day plus fire flow condition. C'4. Pumping Ca'Lv |naddition tohaving sufficient storage capacity, there must also beadequate pumping capacity to meet the peak hour demands. Although peak hour data was not available for this planning analysis, peak hour demands were estimated using a peak hour to nnaxiOOV[D day ratio Of2.O' This is aYa[ue conmnmODk/ used for design purposes' Using 2.Otimes the maximum day demand of 17.47 results in a required pumping capacity of 34.94 mgd. The JWC's firm pumping capacity of 49 mgd is more than adequate to meet peak hour pumping capacity requirements, even with fire flow requirements taken into consideration. Therefore, the existing pumping capaddes are adequate to meet the projected demand. C.5. Plans to Expand or Modify the System Since the current water system isadequate toprovide both storage and firm pumping capacities during maximum day demand through 2017, thCJVYC has nocurrent plans and does not anticipate any future plans b»expand ormodify the system. Repair and replacement of worn equipment will take place on a regular schedule and as needed. D. Resource Sustainability The JWCcurrently purchases treated water from the City of Minneapolis, which uses surface water from the Mississippi River asits raw water source. While the JVYCdoes not have any data todetermine the adequacy ofthe Mississippi River tosustain current and projected demands, the Minneapolis water supply plan (Juiy 2008) states that flows currently are ample. River flow rates have been identified as 1hQgCrS for implementing emergency responses in drought conditions, but itiy noted that the chances of the rive[ dropping tothe first level iscurrently less than 5%. Neither the JVYCnor Minneapolis has data for estimating the impact of climate change on the adequacy of the river to meet future demands. | �� Page 13 / 45 E. Capital Improvement Plan The JWC has adopted a capital improvement plan to make renewals and replacements of its water distribution and storage system.The plan isreviewed and updated -as needed' E'1.Adequacy OfWater Supply System The JYVCwater system i5adequately maintained for long-term operation. E'2'Proposed Water Sources In 2002 ' 2005, the JYVC evaluated the efficacy of replacing its Minneapolis supply with groundwater to be withdrawn from the Prairie du Chien / Jordan aquifer. Tosupport this effort,the sought legislative | �' \ source subject tOfinal DNR approval. ~--� The JYVC subsequently deferred these plans and entered into a new 20 -year water purchase agreement with the City of Minneapolis. However, the JVV[ believes that a backup or supplemental water supply may indeed be necessary some time in the future and reserves the right Lodevelop such Osource ifneeded. E,3, Water Source Alternatives TheJYVC has identified groundwater from the Prairie du Chien / Jordan aquifer to be a viable alternative water Source to serve its cU5iOOnery, either as a replacement for its existing Minneapolis river supply or to supplement that supply on either an ongoing or L emergency basis.

Current Water Sources and Service Area The cities ofCrystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope share awater system that isowned and operated by theJVC. The system serves a population of 66,00' The JWC purchases treated water from the City of Minneapolis, supplied through two metered Connections to the Minneapolis water system. The JYVC system provides 3.5 million gallons of elevated storage and 28.0 million gallons of ground storage' Water is pumped into the system by booster stations Located in Crystal and Golden Valley. C. Procedure for Augmenting Water Supplies Potential sources of water that can bCused to augment or replace existing sources have been examined and are presented below. C'1 ' |OL8[cOOOe[tnn5 with Adid[eO1 CODlOOUDide5. The JVV[ receives their water from the City ofMinneapolis. There are two separate connections tDthe Minneapolis system, D 36 -inch connection in Crystal and a48-inCh connection inGolden Valley. The water purchase agreement between the JVVCand the City of Minneapolis requires the JWC to receive prior written approval for any interconnections between the JWC system and those of its neighbors. Through the work of a2OO5-2OO8Joint Water Task Force comprised ofMinneapolis and JVY[elected officials, blanket approval for such interconnections was granted tothe JYYC' While the JVYC currently has no interconnections with adjacent communities other than the Minneapolis connections, it has investigated interconnections with the cities ofSt. Louis Park, - Plymouth, Brooklyn Park, and Rubbinsdaie' While St' Louis Park does not have adequate Page 24 / 45 water supply capacity tO meet both its maximum daily demands and that Vfthe JYVC' the Cities of Brooklyn Park and Plymouth are interested ininterconnections with thCJVYC system.

The JVVC has also recently evaluated JFB well nos' 2 and 3' General Mitts has also granted preliminary approval for use ofthose wells bythe JYYC on an emergency basis, either short' or Long-term. Based on recent engineering inYestjgatjon' those wells can also provide 3.4 mgd on a continuous basis during an emergency. Total Genera[ Mills supply sources can therefore provide the JWC a total of 6.8 mgd on a continuous emergency basis' This is approximately equal toJYYC average daily winter demands. [.4 ' Conjunctive Use ofSurface Water and Groundwater The JW[ currently relies on surface water from the Mississippi River that has been treated and conveyed tothe J\NCh«the City ofMinneapolis. /\ninterconnection with other contiguous public water providers would provide the JWC with a groundwater source that Page 25 / 45 could heused inthe event ofdDemergency. Currently, there are Doplans tOdevelop such interconnections for anything other than an emergency source of supply. C'5 - Alternative Sources of Water Currently, there are noalternative sources of water available for the JWC to meet daily water demands. The JW[understands the risk that asole river supply poses. The JWC has discussed both drought CVnrbtioOS and river water contamination as different shortage situations. In the event Vfadrought, it is likely that the Mississippi River would be maintained as DYiabie source because of river controls upstream ofthe Twin Cities. The JWC would also initiate demand reduction measures to reduce river withdrawals in this case. I Contamination ofthe Mississippi River presents adifferent emergency situation. In this case, it would be favorable to have interconnections with suppliers that provide water from an alternate source. In pursuing interconnections with public and private water providers, theJVYC not only increases their potential water supply, but also adds alternative sources. While mixing groundwater and surface water can produce water that is aesthetically unpleasant, it would be acceptable in an emergency situation. D. Demand Reduction Measures Minnesota Statutes 103G'261 establishes priorities for water allocation during periods of limited water supply. These definitions are included inSection % part E. Based ODthese priorities, rnUCh ofJW[ YYaLe[ use is considered First Priority, Or residential, use. Commercial and industrial users that consume Less than 10,000 gallons per day are considered Second Priority users. The JVVC has no Third or Fourth Phohiv water users' Commercial and industrial users who use more than 10,000 gallons per day are considered Fifth Priority users. Sixth Priority includes non-essential water uses such as lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, and golf course and park irrigation. In the event that d short-term demand reduction isdeemed necessary, theJYY['3 Emergency Event Evaluation Team would meet and decide what measures to take. Following is a list of potential reduction measures. Stage 1: Voluntary Reduction Measures: Contact the media including k}Ca[ television, radio stations and newspapers and issue anotice to the member cities that there isan imminent water shortage and request voluntary water use reduction by the residents. Voluntary reduction measures could include odd/even sprinkling, reducing vehicle washing, minimizing bath use, reducing shower Length, and other measures to reduce water use, mainly among domestic users. The impacts ofvoluntary reductions inwater use are difficult t0determine, asdata from conservation and non -conservation periods are not available. The amount saved wilt likely be minimal in the first years of use before public education efforts are realized. An average reduction in per capita use of 1 gallon per day would reduce demand by 0.07 mgd /one-pe[cCntoftotal daily demand). Stage 2: Mandatory Bans: Sprinkling and vehicle washing bans would be implemented in anextreme emergency. The sprinkling ban ordinance makes violation ofthe sprinkling ban a petty misdemeanor that could result in adtaton. People who du not pay their Page 26 / 45 eliminate 6th priority use which was estimated as 0'37 [Dgd (or five percent of the total daily water demand) based on 1994 water use data. Stage 3: Mandatory Water Allocation Restrictions: Based oOthe length and severity of the emergency conditions, vvdLer use should be decreased based on the priorities defined in Part II.E. E. Procedures for Water AtIocatiOO The fO[lovwiDg p[OC8dUn8 for water 8[Loc8toO is required by Minnesota Statute 10]G.261, First Priority. Domestic water supply, excluding industrial and commercial uses of municipal water supply, and use for power production that meets the contingency planning requirements. Accord/ng to/NNRules 6Y/5'O63(lSubo. 9'domestic use isdefined as use for general household purposes for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drink/ng, washing, and waste disposal, and for on-farm livestock watering excluding commercial livestock operations which use more than Y(\O0Ogallons per day. Second Priority. M4nteruses/nvn/v/ngcunsunpt/onnf/es/thon /C\000gallons per day. Third Priority.

Uses, other than agricultural irrigation, processing of agricultural products, and power production, involving consumption /n excess of Y[\O00gallons per Sixth Priority. Nonessential uses. These uses are defined bwMinnesota Statutes 103G.29/ as town sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other non- essential uses. Allocation procedures should distribute water equitably within each water use priority and [U3t0Dner category' NOD-essentiai uses of water are the lowest use priority and will be the first water use subject toallocation restrictions. Quick responses 10 restrict non-essential uses ofwater during periods Of limited supplies will help protect domestic and economic uses Ofwater. Water used at hospitals, nursing homes, and similar types offacilities should be designated ashigh priority tObemaintained inanemergency. Local water allocation should address water used for other human needs atother types of facilities such as hotels, office buildings, and manufacturing plants. Domestic use must have priority over economic needs. Page 27 / 45 The J\N[ obsDu to inform all water customers oftheir water allocation priority classification and provide them with information on potentialdemand reduction F. Triggers for Implementing Plan Components An important part of reducing short-term demand is establishing triggers for imptementing the various water reduction measures. The JYYCiSdependent oDits storage reservoirs, pumping capacity, the connections with the Minneapolis distribution system and the Mississippi River source to meet water demands. During an emergency condition, theJVYC could get water from the City of Minneapolis, the proposed interconnect with St' Louis Park' private wells, mrunder an extreme emergency, by bringing in portable water treatment plants tOtreat water from one of the local takes or distributing bottled water. The critical components ofthe JVVC system are the total storage volume, operation ofthe ground storage pumping facbtjes and the availability ofwater from Minneapolis. Criteria forirnpteDmendng short-term reduction measures are designed to reflect restrictions in these supply components due to high demand periods, equipment failure, or Limited water SOU[[e capacity. Table 2'4presents guidelines tVbeconsidered bythe Emergency Evaluation Teaminthe event of3Demergency condition that warrants ashort-term reduction fndemand. The combined storage of31.5MG can provide more than six times the current average wintepddydennand of nnod' During periods of Limited supply from Minneapolis, the system vYOU[d have adequate storage LOsupply average winter -day demand for Uptosix days, depending on how full the storage tanks were at the initiation of the event. Voluntary water use reductions should occur when storage falls below 12 MG. Mandatory reductions in non-essential uses should be implemented when demands cause storage to fall below 8MG. Second and m -phOhtvYvaterusewi[[becoOut[aiDedYYhende[Odnds cause storage to remain below 7MG. The J\N[and the City VfMinneapolis wiltne8dtOcoordinate closely inthe event ofa water supply shortage. In the event ofa Long-term water shortage, such as contamination ofthe Mississippi River, the JVY[ YYoubj rely on dfuture interconnection or an alternative supply. G. Enforcement A critical factor in an effective reduction in short-term demand is enforcement. Police, JWC member city staff, and concerned citizens can provide monitoring to ensure that at[ residents comply. Currently, Crystal and New Hope both have ordinances for controlling short-term water demand. The portion of the New Hope City Code that relates to short-term water demand is below: 5.08 Water Sprinkling Ban. 5.08/ Purpose. The City Council has determined that in certain drought conditions it may become necessary for the protection ofthe health, welfare and safety ofthe citizens Page 28 / 45 of New Hope to conserve the water supply of the City by imposing a water sprinkling ban on all residential, commercial and industrial lawn and garden vegetation. Also, New Hope's contract with the City of Minneapolis for the purchase of water requires the imposition of a water -sprinkling ban at the direction of the City of Minneapolis. The purpose of this section is to set forth the nature and extent of the regulations controlling any sprinkling ban imposed by the Council. 5.082 Resolution Imposing Ban. All water sprinkling bans shall be imposed by adoption of a resolution at any regular or special meeting of the New Hope City Council. The resolution shall set forth the duration of the ban, whether the ban shall be partial or absolute, if a partial ban, whether it shall apply to lawns and boulevards only or also to gardens, new sod and/or new tree saplings, the days or schedule when sprinkling will be permitted under a partial ban, and any other regulations that the City Council deems reasonable and appropriate. Said ban shall become effective immediately upon the adoption of said resolution. 5.083 Notice of Ban. The resolution imposing the sprinkling ban shall be published once in the official newspaper of the City and conspicuously posted in four places throughout the City. Any deficiencies in this notice requirement shall invalidate the ban. 5.084 Enforcement. A violation of this section shall be a petty misdemeanor. However, a first offense shall not result in the issuance of a ticket. The owner, any occupant of legal age or party responsible for water billing shall be first issued a warning ticket upon the first violation of the water -sprinkling ban. A warning letter mailed to the occupant of the property or the individual responsible for the water billing at the violating property shall satisfy the warning notice requirement of this section. Each act of violation, and each day a violation occurs or continues, constitutes a separate offense. Following is the portion of the Crystal City Code that relates to short-term water demand: 715.29 Restrictions against sprinkling; other limitations of water use. Water customers and consumers are governed by the applicable regulations promulgated by the City of Minneapolis as to the limitations in the time and manner of using water and such other applicable regulations promulgated by the JWC affecting the preservation, regulations and protection of the water supply. If the City Council determined that a shortage of water supply threatens the City, the council may by resolution limit the times and hours during which water may be used for anything other than in-home use during the period covered by the resolution. A daily penalty will be charged for this violation as provided in Appendix IV. Charges will be added to that person's next utility bill. The City of Golden Valley does not have any ordinances regulating water use. Based on the water supply contract with Minneapolis, water restrictions are implemented in accordance with those of Minneapolis. Page 29 / 45 H. Water Supply Protection H.1. Analysis of Previous Supply Problems The JWC has not had any previous problems supplying its customers. Sprinkling bans have been implemented in compliance with the JWC's agreement with Minneapolis as necessary. H.2. Wellhead Protection Since the JWC does not use groundwater as a water source, they are not required by the Minnesota Department of Health to submit a Wellhead Protection Plan. H.3. Resource Monitoring The JWC does not maintain or collect information on water Levels and withdrawals from the Mississippi River. Refer to the City of Minneapolis Water Supply Plan for more information. TABLE 2-1: Emergency Response Telephone List (JWC Staff) Individual = Title-.

Both short-term and Long-term water demand reduction goals and measures are discussed inthis plan. Short'teOm, emergency water demand reductions would be accomplished in part byimplementing the emergency plan procedures presented in Part of this Water Supply Plan. LoDg9['te[On water conservation measures that help toincrease overall water use efficiencies and reduce the need for short-term measures in an emergency situation are presented in this part of the Water Supply Pian. |ndeveloping this conservation plan, the JWCfs focused on the impact of drought on Mississippi River water supplies and the need to address such a contingency through both short-term emergency measures and tong -term water demand reduction efforts. This imof particular urgency due to the potential impact of climate change on long-term reliability of hYe[ flows. The City of Minneapolis, which provides all of the JVVC'sYVater, relies on the Mississippi River for its entire supply. There is no backup supply oYdi[Db[e, although Minneapolis has been indiscussions with the City OfSt. Paul about the construction Ofan emergency interconnection that may provide some measure of temporary relief in the event ofanemergency. During 2007, the Mississippi River watershed upstream of St' Anthony Falls experienced drought conditions. |nthe event that ftbecame necessary for the U.S'Army Corps of Engineers to requestthat Congress authorize releases from headwaters reservoirs, it would have been necessary for downstream users (including the JYYC) tUdemonstrate that rigorous conservation measures had been implemented. The goats and measures described in this conservation plan are intended to address such situations. Through individual council action, the JYYC cities intend Lowork together to establish water conservation programs inaccordance with the goals and programs set forth inthis plan. A. Conservation Goats The JWChas established the following water conservation goals: • Limit per capita residential demand to 75 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). ^ Limit peak daily demand toLess than 2.5times average daily demand, * Limit total peak daily purchases from Minneapolis toless than 1Dmillion gallons per day (nngd), and Page 33 / 45 These QVab are within those guidelines set forth in the Phase | interim report submitted to the Minnesota Legislature by the Metropolitan Council aspart of the Regional Water Supply Plan. Water Demands. Total JYYCwater use i3comprised ofabout 77percent residential, 18 percent commercial, and 5 percent industrial uses' Average daily demand has averaged about 6'8 rniiUUD gallons per day (rngd). In the 5u[DDoer months, average daily water use has historically increased to about nngd, or 140 percent of the 5 nlgd winter season average daily use. Summer peak daily demand has averaged less than 18 Dlgd over the past five years. Reducing excessive discretionary summer water demand is the primary objective of this JYYC conservation plan. Both residential and commercial water demands have the potential to be affected h»water conservation programs, however residential demands have been assigned a slightly higher priority due to amount of water used and the potential for reducing peak use. The JYYC'5ten-year goal will be to maintain residential per capita Dt75gpcd' This will beaccomplished through aformalized customer education program, conservation -oriented water rates, dmeter maintenance program and efforts to increase the number of low -flow fixtures through education. Commercial water demand is also assigned a high priority, in particular water usage related tocommercial irrigation and sprinkling. The JWC'mgoal will be to reduce commercial peak water demands by1Opercent. This will be accomplished through a formalized customer education program, d new commercial irrigation ordinance, and conservation -oriented water rates. Unaccounted for Water Use. Water main Leaks, inaccurate meters, unmetered connections and fire department use all contribute to unaccounted-for water. Planned nneLe[ replacements and regular calibration, leak detection surveys, and maintenance programs will improve measurement of water use and help identify ifthere is a water [U33 problem. The JVYC'Sgoal imto maintain unaccounted -fo[-YVateratorbelow 9'75 percent ofMinneapolis water purchases. B. Water Conservation Programs Water conservation goals will be met through programs focusing oOshort-term and long- term obie[dYey' Long-term conservation isaccomplished h«improving water use efficiencies. Specific elements that should beconsidered inaLong-term water conservation plan are: Metering and Meter Testing' ALL JYYC customers are metered. Table 3-1 presents the number ofconnections and meters in the three cities as well as testing schedules and average age. Table 3-Zpresents water supply meter information. All three cities have completed meter replacement programs, replacing all meters with new ones equipped with radio -read technology. The cities will bCusing similar radio -read technology and LOG|Sbilling software. The metering system has improved accuracy and efficiency, and will help to track water tosses. The metering system also has the capability todetect water use violations when sprinkling bans are implemented.

All three cities check meters when customers request that they bechecked nr when the meter readings indicate, as determined by the utility staff orbvcomputer software, that the meter may be inaccurate. Unacmun Water. |nthe past, the JWChas experienced some difficulty in measuring unaccounted-for water. Now that two Ofthe three cities have recently replaced their water meters, better estimates are available.

The JWC does not have formal water audit and leak detection programs. It also recently repaired teaks in the Crystal Reservoir. Wafer Conservation Rates. Each of the three member cities is planning to adopt water conserving rate structures. The 2008 rate structures are given in Table 3-4 below. TABLE 3-4: 2008 Water Rate Structures Notes: Crystal charges its customers proportionally based on water use. Crystal has two basic charges, a minimum service charge based on meter size and the water use charge. The minimum service charge is based on meter size and is designed to cover the cost of meter maintenance, system maintenance, meter reading, and billing and collection of accounts. The minimum service charge is $34.45 for meters less than 1 -inch diameter (these are mostly residential customers). Senior citizens get a discounted minimum service charge of $26.50 for meters less than 1 -inch diameter. The charges are designed to cover the cost of water purchase, pumping, chemical costs, system maintenance, and capital expenditures (renewal and replacement). The City reviews water rates every year. Golden Valley also charges its customers proportionally based on water use. There is a minimum quarterly fee of $18.60 for water meter sizes up to and including 1 -inch diameter. This quarterly fee includes up to 5,000 gallons of water use. Quarterly water use over 5,000 gallons is charged at a rate of $3.72 per 1,000 gallons. The water rate is based on the volume of water consumed and is designed to cover all costs associated with operating and maintaining the water system.

The City reviews water rates every year. 4ddih0ld[ water demand reduction could be achieved dlrnnph the use of water conserving rates that incorporate inclining pricing tiers. The uniform rates used h«the JWCcities have some effect onwater use because water bills increase with increasing usage. A stronger incentive tuconserve water could involve the use ufinclining pricing tiers that charge ahigher unit rate asmore water isused. Seasonal rates orsurcharges that increase the cost of excess water use during the summer -peak usage season could also be innpie0neDLed' Water Use Regulations. The JWCisrequired tofollow the water use regulation and enforcement policies of the City of Minneapolis, but may declare water emergencies and enact water -use regulations independent of Minneapolis if the situation warrants such actions. The JYYCplans to adopt aDordinance governing the installation and operating of commercial sprinkling systems. The goals ofthe ordinance are to establish minimum design Standards, link approvals for system designs to the development approvals process, focus on reducing peak'aunnUlerdenmands, minimize the wasting of water, and reduce overall landscape irrigation demand. While still iD development, the ordinance is planned toinclude the following measures: * Require design standards to avoid oveF5p[Dy' runoff, and low head drainage; * Require control equipment t0include rain sensor, repeat cycles' battery backup and multiple program capabilities; * Require control equipment tobecalibrated and timed Lodeliver 1/4to1 inch of water per cycle; • Address sprinkler spacing and coverage diameter; and p Separate turf -area zones from landscape zones. It is expected that the JWCcities will consider adoption Ofthis ordinance through separate council actions. Education and Information Programs. The JWCortheir member cities d0not currently have formalized programs toregularly educate their customers about water use and water conservation. However, some efforts have been Undertaken over the past five years. The JVYCplans todevelop and implement anon-going educationproQranntoinfo[m customers ofhow toimprove water efficiency during everyday use. Education programs can explain to residents how tO save water by reducing shower duration, turning off water white brushing their teeth, and running dishwashers and clothes washers only when full. Page 37 / 45 The program will also encourage residents t0invest in Low -flow fixtures as a means to reduce water use. Peak water use inthe summer months isattributed tOlawn and garden sprinkling. An education program would inform people about how to sprinkle more efficiently. The JWC conservation education program is planned to include the following elements: p Website information; v Informational cable television announcements; • Brochures Vnindoor water efficiency; • Brochures describing water -saving sprinkling practices; • Billing inserts; and • Literature racks at city halts. Water Fixture Retrofit Programs. The Energy Policy Act has changed the efficiency of various water fixtures manufactured after January 1994' The replacement ofexisting fixtures will occur gradually over the years ascustomers replace old, low -efficiency fixtures. Through various education media, theJVYC plans toencourage its customers 1V install water -saving fixtures. Table 3'5 presents potential water savings by installing water- conserving devices. Pressure Reduction. Bydecreasing the system pressure iDa water system,the flow rate is decreased. Standard utility management practice recommends that the normal operating pressure in awater distribution system be approximately 60 pounds per square inch (psi), not less than 35 psi, and that under fire flow conditions, a[[ parts of the system should maintain a OninirnurD pressure of 20 psi' The normal operating pressure Ofthe JVVC water system ranges between 45and 85psi, indicating that the JYYCi3currently operating somewhat above the recommended pressures. |tisnot prudent toreduce water pressure system -wide, however, since there are some areas that currently experience low pressures.

Description of the Municipal System See Sections 1 and 2 of this report. B. Water Utility Operations INIMMIUM The JWC endeavors to provide high quality water at affordable rates, while assuring that water supply is adequate to meet the demand of its customers. Water conservation measures developed through the conservation plan will be implemented to assure that water use does not create a Long-term negative impact on the Mississippi River. B.2. Objectives The objectives of current water utility operations, such as repair of water main breaks and leaks, and initiation of a conservation plan, are to protect and wisely use JWC water resources. B.3. Standards Criteria that will be used in system operation are developed in Sections 1 through 3. The adequacy of the existing system and associated criteria are discussed in Section 1. Triggers for implementing short-term demand reduction measures are based on the storage volumes and pumping capacities of the JWC system and water availability from the Minneapolis system. These are discussed in Section 2. Section 3 discusses the Water Conservation Plan. C. Conservation Program Section 3 fulfills the requirements of this section. D. Emergency Preparedness / Contingency Plan Section 2 fulfills the requirements of this section. Page 41 / 45 E. Coordination of Planning Efforts with Other Suppliers and Public Agencies E.1. Inter -Community Sharing As discussed in Section 2, the JWC currently has no interconnections with adjacent public water providers other than the Minneapolis interconnections that provide the JWC water supply. The JWC is considering installation of emergency interconnections with contiguous communities and is in discussions with General Mills about the possibility of an emergency interconnection to their wells. E.2. Joint Pursuit of Alternative Sources and Protection of Existing Sources The JWC receives water from the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis draws its raw water supply from the Mississippi River. Should an oil spill or chemical spill occur upstream of Minneapolis' raw water intake, Minneapolis would likely shut down its intake until the spill passes. Minneapolis has storage facilities equivalent to approximately one day of average -day demand. If the raw water intake had to be shut down for longer than one day, the City of Minneapolis and the JWC would essentially be without water for the remainder of the event. Protection of the water supply source by the JWC alone is not feasible since a chemical spill could occur anywhere miles upstream of the Minneapolis raw water intake. To mitigate the effect of a possible interruption of water supply due to a spill in the Mississippi River, the JWC is considering construction of emergency interconnections with the cities of St. Louis Park, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and Brooklyn Park. St. Louis Park does not have adequate water supply capacity to meet both its maximum -day needs as well as that of the JWC. The JWC is also considering connecting with its other neighbors. Both Plymouth and Brooklyn Park have sufficient excess capacity during average -demand conditions. Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, and St. Louis Park have all expressed interest in having emergency connections with the JWC. F. Problems and Potential Solutions The elements contained in Section 1 fulfill the requirements of this section. G. Wellhead Protection Program The JWC does not use groundwater wells as their source of water supply. Therefore, the JWC will not be required to prepare a Wellhead Protection Plan. H. Implementation Program H.1. Official Controls As discussed in Section 3, the cities of Crystal and New Hope have ordinances for controlling short-term water demand. The City of Golden Valley does not have any ordinances regulating water use. Page 42 / 45 H.2. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) A copy Ufthe JWC's Five Year Capital Improvements Program ([|P) has been included in Appendix A'|Ogeneral, the five-year OPincludes inspection, routine repairand replacement of old and worn equipment, and the upgradingofsome equipment. H.3' Impact onthe Local Comprehensive Plan The adoption of the Water Supply Plan will have minimal impact on each member City's Comprehensive Pian' Since the conservation pion wilt reduce water use, the volume of water withdrawn from the Mississippi River will be reduced. Future growth of the member cities should not be affected by this plan.

Introduction: Each year, the city levies special assessments on properties that have received services during the year, but have not paid the invoices that were sent out. These services include: utility charges, administrative citations, removal/elimination of public health/safety hazards, tree trimming/removal, weed elimination and false alarm charges. Receivables that are included in the assessment are those that were 30 or more days delinquent on July 31, 2009. Resolution 2009-64 was approved by the City Council on August 18, 2009. This resolution listed the delinquent amounts to be assessed, set the public hearing for October 20, 2009 at 7:00 PM, and set the interest rate on the assessments at 12%. Letters have been sent to the owners of each property with an assessment to notify them of the special assessment and of this public hearing. Notice of the public hearing was also published in the September 24, 2009 in the Crystal/Robbinsdale Sun Post. Discussion: Numerous payments have been received since the assessment rolls were initially prepared in August. Complete assessment rolls will be available at the meeting for inspection. They are summarized as follows: Number of Total Dollar Accounts Amount Delinquent Utility Accounts: 1,102 $495,131.49 Administrative Citations 98 $99,917.50 Abatement of Public Health/Safety Hazards 28 $18,145.93 Tree Trimming/removal 15 $21,750.57 Weed Elimination 28 $6,067.04 False Alarm Charges 9 $1,360.00 TOTAL 1,280 $642,372.53 The detailed assessment rolls will be available for inspection at the meeting on October 20th, but they were not copied for this agenda packet. A $35.00 per account administrative charge will be added on Thursday, October 22nd Payments will be accepted through 4:30 P.M. on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 without the administrative charge. This allows customers to appeal their assessment to the City Council without incurring the administrative charge. Customers will be able to pay the assessment any time through November 25th without being charged interest. Payments made after that date will be charged interest at the rate of 12% per year. On November 30th, the assessment roll will be sent to Hennepin County. Appeals: We have received one written appeal of an assessment, which is attached. Property owners may still appear at the public hearing without having given a written appeal in advance. Recommended City Council Actions: ® The City Council should hold the public hearing to receive any objections of the property owners and then close the public hearing. ® The City Council should rule on each appeal determining one of the following: 1. The appeal is denied and the assessment will be included in the roll. 2. The appeal is denied and the assessment will be included in the roll, but with the staff to report back at the next meeting regarding the appeal. 3. The appeal is approved and the assessment is canceled. ® The City Council should approve the resolution with any needed change to the amounts or properties on the assessment roll. If it is necessary for staff to research an issue and report back, then that assessment should be included in the adopted assessment role. Staff will then report back on November 3d and it will be possible to cancel the assessment if the City Council decides the appeal is valid. } A/ppen |- —.

The citation is a huge sum of money - $3,185 which is an excessive fee. My husband and I ran into some financial and personal issues last year and we were not as on top of our obligations asxveshould have been. Asyou are aware there were alot ofthings happening inthe economy and we personally fell behind on our responsibilities. I am not making excuses and agree that we should have adhered to the letters that were sent. I can understand the City of Crystals' frustration with our lack of response. I am merely objecting to the amount of the fine. |anohoping that xvecan agree on a more reasonable dollar amount. We completely understand our obligation and will not let something like this happen inthe future. If we are forced to pay this large citation amount which is double our property taxes we will be forced to foreclose onthe property. VVeescrow our prupertytaxesand would not beable tomake the monthly mortgage payments — our payments would double. 'VVe love our property in Crystal and would not like to see it come to that. I am truly hoping that we can reach some type of agreement. In addition we did obtain our rental license and passed our inspection with no further issues. Please consider my plea to remove this large citation fee that has been levied against our property at 5640 Nevada. My husband, Ben Dossman, will be attending the hearing on Tuesday October 20th; I hope that vvecan come toamore agreeable solution. | would also like ioadd toyour consideration that there have never been any code violations, police incidents etc at the property, it is very well maintained and vvedoenjoy havingahomoeintheCityofCrysta|.

REGULAR AGENDA #1 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT I clth Sign ance Variat 470 6 1 3 STAL L th) L at, (Advancements in Dermatology 4725 36 FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Directorc�� DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Directo DATE: October 13, 2009 TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for October 20th City Council Meeting) SUBJECT: Consider a Variance to allow part of an existing freestanding sign at 4701 36th Avenue North to be used by a business at 4725 36 th Avenue North (Advancements in Dermatology) A. BACKGROUND City Code Section 405.23 1) prohibits off -premises signage. 4725 36th Avenue North contains a small office building (Advancements in Dermatology) which is wholly dependent on the larger, multi -tenant commercial property at 470136th Avenue North for access, parking, and visibility from 36th Avenue. The owner of Advancements in Dermatology would like to install freestanding signage to inform passerby of the business. Because 4725 36th has no frontage on 36"' Avenue but instead has frontage on Orchard Avenue, city code would allow the owner of 4725 36th to erect a freestanding sign up to 50 square feet in area on their property. Instead, the owner of 4725 36t" desires to use part of the existing freestanding sign at 4701 36th, and the owner of 4701 36th is willing to lease part of their sign to Advancements in Dermatology. Because that would result in part of the sign at 4701 36th being used for off -premises signage, a Variance from City Code Section 405.23 1) is required. Notice of the October 12, 2009 Planning Commission public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property on or about October 1, 2009. On October 12, 2009, the Planning Commission held the public hearing and, after hearing no comments from the applicant or the public, voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the variance. Page 1 of 4 The following Exhibits are attached: A. Request from sign contractor on behalf of the property owner B. 2006 aerial photo showing the subject property C. Photo of existing freestanding sign superimposed with proposed signage D. Close-up photo of existing freestanding sign E. Plan for proposed signage B. STAFF COMMENTS Recommended Findings of Fact in bold type below. NOTE: The underlined portions have been added based on the Planning Commission discussion and motion on October 12, 2009. In order for a variance to be granted, state law requires that all three of the following criteria be met: - ® The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as required by the code. The property cannot be put to reasonable use in compliance with city code. City code does not contemplate the configuration of 4725 36th, which is a commercial parcel with frontage only on a residential street (Orchard Avenue) and access only via another commercial property (4701 36th). Reasonable use of 4725 36th requires that the city allow it to have signage on the adjacent, integrated commercial property at 4701 36th for as long as the property at 4725 36th does not have its own freestanding sign. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner. 4701 and 4725 36th are unique because they were originally platted and still function as a single commercial property. It is unknown why the city allowed 4725 36th to be subsequently subdivided from 4701 36th, but in doing so the city created a hardship related to signage for 4725361h ® The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance, if granted, would have no impact other than to allow part of the freestanding sign at 4701 36th to be used to advertise the presence of the business at 4725 36th. This will have no discernable impact on the character of the locality provided that the property at 4725 36th does not have its own freestanding sign. In addition, specific to sign variances, city code requires that all seven of the following criteria be met: Page 2 of 4 There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to other property similarly situated. The configuration of 4701 and 4725 36th is unique. City code does not contemplate commercial parcels with frontage only on a residential street (Orchard Avenue) and access only via another commercial property (4701 36t'). The owner of 4725 36th has elected not to place a freestanding sign on its property because of this odd and uniaue lavout: and a variance to allow them to use the instead of insta freestanding sign at 4725 36"' is appropriate. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property similarly situated, but which right is denied to the property in question. Commercial uses typically have the right to place freestanding signage identifying their property along the street by which their business is accessed. 4725 36th is accessed only from 36th Avenue but has no frontage on it. Provided that the owner of 4725 36th continues to not place a freestanding sign on its property, the variance provides a means by which the owner of 4725 36 1h may enioy a property right typically enjoyed by commercial property in Crystal. 2 The strict application of this code would constitute an undue hardship. The request meets all three of criteria for undue hardship contained in state law; see the first three bullet points above. All three criteria have been thus City Code has caused an undue hardship in this particular case. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. The variance would have no discernable impact on the public health, safety or general welfare. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this code and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel. It is unknown why the cit allowed 4725 36th to be subsequently ,t subdivided from 4701 36t , but in doing so the city created a hardship related to signage for 4725 36th 2 The difficulty or hardship is not based solely on economic considerations. Page 3 of 4 The finding of hardship is based on the unique configuration of the property compared with other commercial properties in the city. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or interfere with the function of the police and fire department of the city. The proposed variance will have no discernable impacts on the community, including those specifically listed here. C. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED At its October 12, 2009 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval based on staff's recommended findings of fact, with additional findings to prevent the owner of 4725 36th from continuing to have off - premises freestanding signage at 4701 36th if they ever decide to install their own freestanding sign at 4725 36'r: REQUESTED VARIANCE: To allow the freestanding sign at 4701 36th Avenue North to host off -premises signage for the property located at 4725 36th Avenue North. RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL: Much of the justification for the variance is the unsuitability of what city code permits the owner of 4725 36th to do, which would be to place a freestanding sign at 4725 36th. Therefore this variance is conditional upon the owner of 4726 36th not placing a freestanding sign on its property. If the current owner or any subsequent owner of 4725 36th places a freestanding sign on its property, then this variance allowing 4701 36th to host off -premises freestanding signage for 4725 36th will expire because the conditions that justified it will no longer be in effect. Expiration of this variance would mean that the signage for 4725 36th must be removed from the freestanding sign at 4701 36th. Section B above. City Council action is requested.

E REGULAR AGENDA #2 FROM: Jason Zimmermann, Code Enforcement and Zoning Administrator fl DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director TY DATE: October 14, 2009 TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for October 20th City Council Meeting) SUBJECT: Application 2009-15 for a Conditional Use Permit for an institutional use at 5400 Douglas Drive North (Conquerors Christian Center — 5270 Hanson Court). A. BACKGROUND The subject property is zoned 1-1, Light Industrial. Conquerors Christian Center intends to use the first floor of the southeasterly portion of the building (formerly office space addressed as 5270 Hanson Court) for church uses and administrative offices. Future use of the building, as indicated on the floor plan, includes a day care accessory to the church use. The second floor is currently finished for offices but is not to be used. Institutional uses including churches and day care require a Conditional Use Permit in all zoning districts. The Planning Commission held the required public hearing on October 12, 2009. Prior to the. hearing, notice was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet and published in the Sun Post on October 1, 2009. The following Exhibits are attached: A. Aerial photo showing the location of the subject property. B. Narrative submitted by applicant. C. Floor Plan. D. Site Plan. B. STAFF COMMENTS 1. GENERAL INFORMATION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — CONQUERORS CHRISTIAN CENTER — 5400 DOUGLAS DRIVE Page 1 of 4 The first floor consists of a large meeting room that will be used as the sanctuary. Seating is not fixed and will be provided with folding chairs. The rest of the space on the first floor will be used for administration and children's programs, including a future day care accessory to the church use. There is existing office space on the second floor that is not to be used at this time. There are 94 parking spaces available for this part of the building. Based on the available parking, and because the space to be used for the sanctuary has no fixed seating, 1,645 square feet is the maximum floor space to be used for seating. The formula for this requirement is as follows: With no fixed seating, each 7 square feet of floor area shall be counted as one seat. 1,645 s.f. / 7s.f. = 235 seats Churches require one parking space per 2.5 seats based on the design capacity of the assembly area, or in this case, the designated seating areas 235 seats / 2.5 seats = 94 parking spaces required The designated seating area is derived from the 94 parking spaces available for the use. Due to the change to an assembly use as a church, a full egress plan by a licensed architect shall be submitted for review by West Metro Fire District. All exit doors shall have panic hardware installed and all exit and emergency lighting shall be updated and reviewed prior to occupancy. 3. SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS The proposed use described in the narrative would comply with city code if a Conditional Use Permit is approved for the institutional use. The proposed institutional use would comply with required conditions listed in 515.49 Subd. 4 b): The facility is served by arterial, collector or municipal state aid streets and such pedestrian facilities as are necessary to accommodate the traffic generated by the facility. While such streets serve the property, they do not serve the proposed church. The property is served by Douglas Drive which is a state aid street. However, the proposed use would not be accessible via Douglas Drive, it would be served by Hanson Court. Hanson Court is not designated as an arterial, collector or state aid street, but equals or exceeds state aid standards. Hanson Court leads directly to West Broadway, which is a major collector street. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — CONQUERORS CHRISTIAN CENTER — 5400 DOUGLAS DRIVE Page 2 of 4 C. Hanson Court itself cannot be designated as a state aid street because the city is already at its maximum allotment of state aid designations. Because Hanson Court's width and sections equal or exceed state aid standards, it can accommodate the additional traffic, and it leads directly to a major collector, the roadway service requirement is met. The city council determines that all applicable requirements of subsection 515.05, subdivision 3 a) and section 520 are considered and satisfactorily met. 515.05 Subd. 3 a): In addition to specific standards or criteria included in the applicable district regulations, the following criteria shall be applied in determining whether to approve a conditional use permit request: The consistency of the proposed use with the comprehensive plan. The property is guided Mixed Use West Broadway; institutional uses would be consistent with the plan. The characteristics of the subject property as they relate to the proposed use. The site has sufficient parking in place for the proposed use. The characteristics of the property are appropriate for and can accommodate the proposed use. 3) The impact of the proposed use on the surrounding area. The use would have no adverse impact on the surrounding area. Section 520 (Site Plan Review) does not apply because the proposed use would not involve building additions or other construction triggering the requirements of that section. Staff recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an institutional use, specifically a church and accessory day care as indicated on the floor plan, at 5270 Hanson Court on property addressed as 5400 Douglas Drive, subject to the following conditions: 1 A final Certificate of Occupancy must be issued by the Building Official prior to occupancy. 2. Prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued, a full egress plan by a licensed architect shall be submitted for review and approval by West Metro Fire District. 3. All exit doors shall have panic hardware installed prior to occupancy. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — CONQUERORS CHRISTIAN CENTER — 5400 DOUGLAS DRIVE Page 3 of 4 4. All exit and emergency lighting shall be updated and inspected prior to occupancy. 5. Areas of the parking lot in disrepair shall be repaired and the lot re -striped no later than one year after approval (November 1, 2010). 6. Any new signage requires a permit prior to installation. 7. All handicapped accessible spaces must be striped and signed in accordance with the Minnesota State Building Code. 0*C10-*"AANW-PLIF91 I The proposed institutional use would be consistent with the requirements of city code, provided that all of the conditions of approval contained in Section C of the staff report are met. City Council action is requested.

Crystal, MN. 55422 September 14, 2009 Dear Counsel Members, The purpose of this letter is to apply to your counsel for a Conditional Use Permit of the facility at XXXX, (to be assigned) Hanson Court (Conquerors Christian Center). The estimated square footage of the sanctuary is 3,720. Conquerors Christian Center has been based in the Crystal Community Center for a little over three years and is a vibrant, youthful and multi-ethnic congregation. Our congregation size is on average 60 people including youth. It has become necessary to relocate to a facility which caters to our administrative and congregational needs. We also intend to start a daycare on the premises, because our children's church runs about 40. The facility on Hanson Court provides perfect accommodations since it has available parking for 50 or more cars. We only require the use of the first floor facility which has adequate space for a small church service, utilizing non -fixed seating and office facilities for both administrative and daycare functions. For now, we have no immediate use of the upper floor. That space could potentially be used as additional offices in the future, but we would notify the city prior to occupation. Our relationship with the City of Crystal has been warm and cordial; it is the decision of the church body to hopefully remain in the City of Crystal as we continue to serve the social and spiritual needs of the residence and surrounding communities. If granted we assure the counsel that we would consider and implement conditions stipulated for the appropriate use of the facility. In conclusion, we kindly appeal to the counsel for their consideration of our application in the use of the above stated facility. W VaeU Senior Pastor.

Since that preliminary budget, Chief Crandall received additional information regarding increased health insurance and pension costs to the District. At the September 9 West Metro Board meeting, Chief Crandall presented a 2010 budget which totals $2,035,984, a -.2% change from the revised 2009 budget. The Board approved the 2010 budget as presented and forwarded it to both city councils for review and approval. Attached are a memo from Board President Hubbard and Chief Crandall's 2010 budget. The updated 2010 budget was reviewed at the October 6 work session. Chief Crandall has re-evaluated the cost-sharing formula and based on current numbers, Crystal's share of West Metro costs has decreased slightly. This creates an additional $9,000 savings for Crystal's 2010 budget. Based on the formula, Crystal's obligation for fire services in 2010 is $1,037,302.36. The West Metro Fire District Joint and Cooperative Agreement requires both city councils to approve West Metro's budget no later than October 31. RECOMMENDATION: The proposed budget is consistent with direction provided at the work session earlier this year. Recommend approval of the 2010 West Metro Fire District budget. DATE: September 15, 2009 TO: Crystal City Council Members New Hope City Council Members FROM: Brian V. Hubbard, President West Metro Fire Rescue District Board of Directors RE: West Metro Updates In an effort to continually to improve communications with the various stakeholders and partners of the West Metro Fire Rescue District, I'm writing to give you some updates on the happenings of the Department for your information. 2010 Budget On September 9, 2009, the Board of Directors unanimously (Board Member Laurant was absent) approved the 2010 budget. This approved budget represents a -0.2% (-$4,893) decrease over the Revised 2009 budget. The totals are as follows: $1,832,593 - Operating Budget 0 - Major Capital Budget 156,300 - Minor Capital Budget 47,091 - Vehicle Replacement Budget $2,035,984 - TOTAL 2010 BUDGET Chief Crandall was asked to prepare a budget representing a 0% budget and a -5% budget compared to the revised 2009 budget. The 5% reduction would represent significant reductions in public education and emergency management coordination as well as significant reductions and/or deferments of capital expenditures. The Budget Committee recommended the 0% budget with a few additional reductions. Chief Crandall and I met with the Crystal City Council to discuss the budget. The Crystal City Council stated approval of the budget in concept, however asked that a few items be reviewed. While Chief Crandall was making the discussed revisions, he was made aware of two additional expense increases. First, the auditor confirmed the pension forecast for the 2010 budget to be $48,000 more than originally thought. Secondly, the final healthcare premium would be increasing by $5,500 over the initial budgeted amount. Chief Crandall's goal, given these two new expenses, was still to focus on achieving the 0% budget. Based on the feedback and the new expense increases, the following changes were made from the draft of the budget approved by the Budget Committee: 1) The vehicle repairs budget was reduced; 2) The annual fire department open house was eliminated for 2010; 3) The Awards line item was reduced (Annual Awards Banquet expenses); 4) The MSA Firefighter Locator system was deferred until 2011 with the hope the technology would be more improved and a better end product will be available; 5) The Miscellaneous Equipment budget was reduced; 6) The Computer Workstation budget was reduced; 7) The Building Equipment budget was reduced; 8) The Overhead Door Modification for Station #1 will be spread over two years, resulting in a decreased amount in 2010. Some additional items of note in the approved budget: *There are no Cost Of Living adjustments, although "step" increases are in the budget, which is consistent with both cities' 2010 planning; *Supplies have been reduced by approximately $10,000 including reducing fuel costs, eliminating the open house, and eliminating the department's funding of the Explorer Post; *Communication costs will be reduced by approximately $31,000 due to the completion of the purchase of radio units; *Contract Maintenance costs will be reduced by approximately $14,000 including reducing janitorial services and reducing vehicle repair expenses. Through the course of the 2010 budget process, a number of additional items were identified for the Budget Committee to address/discuss in the months to come. These items include: 1) The 2011 budget process will be completed by June, 2010 to be in line with the organization's by-laws; 2) The Fund Balance Policy will be reviewed and a report will be provided to the Board in November; 3) A review of the "charge backs" of expenses between West Metro and each of the cities to ensure consistency in what and how these expenses are accounted for; 4) A review of the 5 -year Major and Minor Capital Plans prior to the creation of the 2011 budget. Through the course of the 2010 budget process, two additional items were identified for Board and Staff to analyze: 1) Coordination of Emergency Management for each City to ensure consistent use of resources between West Metro and each city's staff; 2) Emergency Response protocols to ensure consistent uses and requests for uses of West Metro by each city. I believe this approved budget represents a solid plan which takes into account the need for financial frugality, accountability, transparency, and responsiveness to all stakeholders' concerns and feedback. I welcome any comments or concerns regarding this budget. Chief Crandall and I will be meeting with the New Hope City Council in September and we'd be happy to meet with the Crystal City Council again if this is deemed necessary. I hope both Councils will act to approve this budget quickly. WEST METRO FIRE -RESCUE DISTRICT Serving the Cities of •Crystal #New Hope 4251 Xylon :eve N. New Hope, MN 55428 Voice 763.230.7000 Fax 763.230.7029 MEMORANDUM To: West Metro Fire -Rescue District Budget Committee From: Scott E. Crandall, Fire Chief � Date: September 2, 2009 Subject: 2010 draft budget documents Attached please find copies of the draft 2010 District budget documents for your review The attached documents are not intended for distribution. The proposed 2010 budget has been developed per the discussion and agreed upon budget priorities as follows; • Develop a 0% increase 2010 District budget. • Elimination of the 2010 annual fire prevention open house. • Deferral of the MSA firefighter accountability system. • Reduce the awards budget line item. During the course of completing this draft new information was received regarding the paid on call pensions and healthcare costs as follows; • Information received from the auditor and confirmed by a fire service pension committee member regarding the pension forecast for the 2010 budget, this is an additional $48,000 impact to previously planned pension costs. • I received the final healthcare premium data, the healthcare premium will be increasing by $6K above the initial budgeted amount. These two new pieces of information resulted in a $54,000 impact to the budget that was not included in the draft we reviewed at the last meeting. Captain Larson and I have collaborated to develop as solution to meet the directives. Please forward any comments ASAP. Respectfully, Scott E.

Their purchase agreement did not include the seller paying the current property taxes on the new location. NEAR is requesting any assistance in reducing its property tax burden for this year. Hennepin County cannot waive the current taxes but the property is identified as exempt in future years so NEAR will not be responsible for property taxes in future years. Hennepin County Assessing suggested the only remedy might be for the city to consider abating its share of property taxes. State law section 469.1813 allows for the abatement of property taxes, usually in the case of economic development projects. The City Council could only abate the city's share of property taxes. NEAR could also approach Hennepin County and the School District about abating their respective property taxes on the property. 2009 property taxes owed by NEAR total $19,104.42. Of this, approximately $4,260.10 is Crystal's share of the taxes and is the amount the Council could consider abating. Due to the timing of NEAR's acquisition of the property, it is recommended the Council abate only the second half of the 2009 local property taxes ($2,130.05). If the Council chooses to abate its share of the taxes for 5209 West Broadway, the Council would need to adopt the attached resolution citing the reason(s) for the abatement. Adopt the resolution abating the second half of 2009 local property taxes for 5209 West Broadway. Attach: CITY OF CRYSTAL RESOLUTION #2009 - RESOLUTION ABATING 2009 CRYSTAL PROPERTY TAXES FOR 5209 WEST BROADWAY WHEREAS, the North Suburban Emergency Assistance Response (NEAR) is a non-profit entity exempt from property taxes located in Crystal which operates a food shelf that serves Crystal and other area residents; and WHEREAS, earlier this year, NEAR relocated its operations to a larger facility at 5209 West Broadway in Crystal, which facility was not exempt from property taxes payable in 2009; and WHEREAS, during the acquisition and closing process for NEAR's new facility, the current property tax status of the new facility was inadvertently overlooked. NEAR missed statutory deadlines for claiming an exemption from property taxes for the new facility for the second half payment of property taxes for 2009 which results in a significant tax burden impacting NEAR's ability to deliver services to residents of Crystal and surrounding communities; and WHEREAS, the 2009 second half portion of property taxes allocated by statute to Crystal owed for NEAR's new facility at 5209 West Broadway is $2,130.05 which Crystal would not have received if NEAR had timely applied for its property tax exemption; and WHEREAS, Cal Monroe, operator of NEAR, has asked Crystal for assistance with Crystal's allocation of 2009 property taxes; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section 469.1813 provides for the abatement of taxes allocated to the City if the benefits to the City at least equal the costs to Crystal and the abatement will help provide access to services for residents of Crystal; and WHEREAS, abating the 2009 second half portion of City property taxes for 5209 West Broadway will at least equal the costs to the City of the abatement since the City would not have been eligible to receive such taxes if NEAR had applied for its exemption in a timely manner; and WHEREAS, abating the 2009 second half portion of City property taxes for 5209 West Broadway will allow NEAR to use those funds to provide additional resources to residents utilizing the NEAR food shelf and therefore result in the availability of additional services and resources for Crystal residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Crystal that the 2009 second half portion of City property taxes in the amount of $2,130.05 for the property at 5209 West Broadway is hereby abated. Adopted this 20th day of October, 2009. ReNae J. Bowman, Mayor ATTEST: Janet Lewis, City Clerk REGULAR AGENDA #6 No documentation 9 prov ided for R 0% u,� Agenda #Via, . € REGULAR AGENDA #7 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager �UtA_-' Charles Hansen, Finance Director C Patrick Peters, Community Development Directorpc-f` SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the 2009 General Fund, Budget to Provide for a Temporary Building Inspector. Background: The City Charter, Section 7, requires the adoption of an annual budget. Amending the budget is allowed by the Charter and is needed in most years due to unpredictable events. The Charter provides that any increase to expenditures must be offset by an increase to revenues. Year-to-date numbers make it apparent that revenues for both building permits and housing inspection fees will exceed the budget. Discussion The city once again is experiencing a backlog related to building, mechanical and plumbing permits that have been issued, which significantly hampers our ability to provide the expected and necessary level of responsiveness to homeowners and contractors. This backlog is due, in part, to the annual spike in rental license renewals and associated inspections during the fall months and an ongoing number of point of sale inspections. As a result, the openings for building inspections can be as much as two weeks out. Another result is an increasing backlog of follow-up on housing maintenance code violations that are already in process. The city has contracted for the services of a part-time, temporary Building Inspector for the sole purpose of reducing the number of routine building, mechanical and plumbing inspections that normally would be placed on the schedules of the Building Official, Code Compliance Inspector and Housing Inspector. The use of the part-time inspector will allow for a reduction in the backlog of such inspections and will provide homeowners and contractors with a more satisfactory inspection schedule. Also, moving routine inspections from the calendars of the full-time staff on a temporary basis will effectively reduce the backlog of pending housing maintenance enforcement cases. By contract, the part-time, temporary inspector will work no more than 20 hours/week. The term of the contract is October 8 through December 11, and excludes a seven-day period in November when the inspector is not available. The contract employee is billing the city at a rate of $60/hour, and the city is not providing any benefits or use of city vehicle. The cost to the city for this service is anticipated to not exceed $7,000. Conclusion We recommend that the City Council consider the attached resolution amending the 2009 General Fund budget to provide for a temporary building inspector. City of Crystal RESOLUTION NO. 2009- 11 C 1 1 kei 00 W41:91 I 11111ral 1,01411111,016*11:1:10,11911- WHEREAS, Section 7.07 of the City of Crystal Charter allows for alterations in the annual budget of the City, and WHEREAS, increased numbers of building and housing inspections has caused unreasonable delays in providing inspections to customers, and WHEREAS, revenues for building inspections and housing inspection fees appear to be sufficient to pay for a temporary building inspector. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that appropriations for the Building Inspection Department in the 2009 General Fund Budget are increased by $7,000. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that estimated revenues for housing rental licenses in the 2009 General Fund Budget is increased by $7,000. Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 20th day of October, 2009. ReNae J. Bowman, Mayor ATTEST: Janet Lewis, City Clerk REGULAR AGENDA #8 TO: Mayor and City Council Anne Norris, City Manager FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director C P SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Adopting the Final Fee Schedule for 2010 Utility Billing Rates and Charges Based on the discussions at the work session, staff recommends the following changes: Water rates and non-residential sanitary sewer rates are also shown as rates in units of 1,000 gallons. Completion of the 2009 water meter project means that we will soon begin billing in units of 1,000 gallons. Water Charges The City will be required to institute conservation water rates in 2010. This is a set of rates that will charge a higher rate per unit of water used as the total water usage increases. We 2009 2010 Percent Difference Water (1,000 gallons) $4.01 $4.01 0.0% $0.00 Water minimum charges Various Various 0.0% $0.00 Water fire lines Various Various 0.0% $0.00 Sanitary Sewer residential $45.10 $45.10 0.0% $0.00 Sanitary Sewer senior $36.53, $36.53 0.0% $0.00 Sanitary Sewer commercial (per 1,000 gallons) $1.99 $1.99 0.0% $0.00 Storm Water residential $9.60 $9.90 3.125% $0.30 Storm Water commercial ( per acre) $240.00 $247.50 3.125% $7.50 Street Lights residential or commercial $4.00 $4.20 5.0% $0.20 Street Lights multi -family residential $3.00 $3.15 5.0% $0.15 Recycling residential $10.35 $10.35 0.0% $0.00 Water rates and non-residential sanitary sewer rates are also shown as rates in units of 1,000 gallons. Completion of the 2009 water meter project means that we will soon begin billing in units of 1,000 gallons. Water Charges The City will be required to institute conservation water rates in 2010. This is a set of rates that will charge a higher rate per unit of water used as the total water usage increases. We estimate that this change will be implemented in the spring of 2010. The water rate study proposed a 3.24% increase in water rates. This increase will be implemented at the same time that the conservation rates are implemented. Conservation rates will be brought back for City Council approval at a later date. Sewer Charges A question came up at the work session regarding the equity between residential verses commercial rates for sanitary sewer. This was based on the sample quarterly utility bills included in the work session agenda packet and on the following pages. Comparing the large commercial customer with an irrigation meter example to the minimum residential customer example makes it appear that the commercial customer is being undercharged. What really is happening is that the commercial customer is not being charged sewer on the water used for irrigation and is being charged sewer based on the number of units of water used other than irrigation. The residential customers are being charged a flat rate for sanitary sewer which means that the minimum water usage customer is paying proportionately more for sewer. Please note that these sample utility bills are still using the old 100 cubic foot water units. The table below depicts several different utility bills for customers with different amounts of water consumption. A commercial customers sanitary sewer charge will be the same percentage of their non -irrigation water charge as would be paid by a residential customer using 30 units of water. This is a fairly common water usage for a residential customer. Residential Customers Water units 13 30 50 80 100 128 Water charge 40.30 93.00 155.00 248.00 310.00 396.80 Sewer charge 45.10 45.10 45.10 45.10 45.10 45.10 Sewer as a % of water 112% 48% 29%1 18%1 15% 11% Commercial Customers Water units 13 50 100 500 1,000 2,000 Water charge 40.30 155.00 310.00 1,550.00 3,100.00 6,200.00 Sewer charge 19.37 74.50 149.00 745.00 1,490.00 2,980.00 Sewer as a % of water 48% 48% 48% 48%1 48% 48% City staff will publish the new utility rates in the city newsletter. The attached fee schedule only includes not only utility services, but also products such as meters.

Conclusion Staff is requesting that the City Council consider the attached resolution. �im M14 ell] 14 •i• M MiLMIX".1 -I ZYM4.11 WHEREAS, the City of Crystal conducts" an annual review of fees charged for services and products; and WHEREAS, this review resulted in a recommendation that storm water rates should be increased from $9.60 per quarter to $9.90 per quarter for residential properties: and WHEREAS, this review resulted in a recommendation that street light rates should be increased from $4.00 per quarter to $4.20 per quarter for residential properties: and WHEREAS, the attached fee schedule lists proposed charges for 2010 for various services and products provided by the City of Crystal, which shall be billed during 2010.

I note that Garrett Lysiak was out of state and out of internet range (in the Montana mountains) this past week and has not had the opportunity to provide input on these questions. I have taken the essence of each separate question related and sometimes combined two questions that seem to ask for the same information. "Can map show specific areas/sites for possible tower locations?" It is my understanding that the maps prepare by City staff reflect zoned property allowed for tower sites under permitted or conditional use for placement of a tower, subject to height and setback requirements. I assume it would take additional time to analyze each site by building and setback measurements to come up with the actual locations within that land that could be used for tower sites. That process would yield a smaller footprint because, e.g., we know that park property would be subject to setbacks and other impediments that would reduce the available sites. "How are other cities addressing potential service area gaps?" Attached are maps showing how adjacent communities provide for telecommunication towers. No city can know with certainty that its zoning code is "service gap proof." All zoning establishing permitted and conditional use sites are necessarily done without knowing the systems and gaps established by each provider. Because cities camlot Glow at the time they are establishing the zoning code whether a specific service gap to a specific service provider exists (as Garrett has explained). The only way to address the issue is tower site availability that relates to tower sites radius (e.g., half mile), tower height, setbacks, etc. In a city like Brooklyn Park, given the wide availability of sites, subject to conditional use requirements, it is highly unlikely that there will be "an effective prohibition" due to no allowed 358964vl JMS CR225-310 sites. On the other hand, a zoning code limit on sites that established large gaps between potential sites can create that situation. The risk increases as a zoning code becomes more restrictive and reduces or eliminates the right to place a tower at given locations that are outside the half -mile tower antenna radius. Only when the application is submitted and the gap analysis is done will a city know how its code stacks up. Note that restrictive suburban cities can be "assisted" by surrounding cities that have multiple potential tower sites close to the restrictive city. Sites outside such a city can be used to fill gaps. "Is there a map showing existing towers in and around the City?" See attached maps showing where towers are permitted in adjacent communities. "We are not convinced there's a coverage issue" It is true that the City has not been informed by a provider that there is a "significant gap" within the City that the current zoning code cannot fill under permitted or conditional use sites. As noted above, the only thing that cities can do, without resorting to a "use variance", is establish a sufficient amount of sites to comport with known technology needs, as provided by Garrett Lysiak P.E., a radio frequency engineer experienced in the wireless service industry. If the zoning code were too restrictive and a coverage issue were identified that could not be remedied by a setback or height variance, the City would be in a difficult legal position under federal law. If the applicant shows a "significant gap" (the test established by federal case law around the country) that could not be filled by any other alternative and the zoning code prohibited the only site that was available, the City would be sued under the Federal Telecommunications Act (Act) for "effective prohibition" of wireless services in the City. As stated by a federal circuit court, "if the criteria or their administration effectively preclude towers no matter what the carrier does, they amount to a ban `in effect' even though substantial evidence will almost certainly exist for denial." Town of Amherst v. Omni Point Communications, 173 F.3d 9, 14 (1st Cir. 1999). The majority rule in the federal circuits is that a denial of an application where the provider simply cannot fill the gap under the zoning code, could constitute a violation of the Act by having an "effect" of prohibiting the provision of wireless services. Id. "The burden on the provider, however, is a heavy one." Id. The applicant must show that not only has the application been rejected but further reasonable efforts are likely to be fruitless or a waste of time. A Third Circuit federal court also stated that municipalities had the effect of prohibiting service if their decisions lead to "significant gaps" in the availability of wireless service. Cellular Telephone Company v. Zoning Board of Adjustment of Borough Ho- Ho-Kus, 197 F.3d 64, 70 (3rd Cir. 1999). Minnesota is in the Eighth Circuit. The Eighth Circuit does not have a decision establishing its own standard, but it would probably follow the above precedent. The First Circuit Court of Appeals has identified the relevance of a possible Act violation in a local government's determination of whether to deny a tower site application. The court stated "since boards' actions will be invalidated by a federal court if they violate the effect of prohibition provision, many boards wisely do consider the point." Second Generation Prop. v. Pelham, 313 F.3d 620, 630 (1st Cir. 2002). 358964v1 JMS CR225-310 "Are there any cases in Minnesota where a provider has claimed service gap and what was relief to provider?" The answer is yes. There have been several cases in Minnesota federal district court where an application for a tower site has been denied and the court has ordered the local government unit to grant the application. The application inevitably shows there is a service gap, otherwise the provider would not go to the expenditure required to build a tower and establish antenna sites. The remedy if the applicant prevails is nearly always the same. The court orders the local government unit to allow the tower to be built at the site requested. "Do co -location provisions in the City's ordinance limit the number of providers at that location?" The ordinance does not have a specific limit or minimum of provider antennas to be located at any given tower site. The ordinance encourages co -location and requires the applicant to seek co -located sites before applying for a tower site. (E.g. Ordinance, Subd. 2 d)). The number of providers who could co -locate in any given tower site is a function of the tower height, the engineering structure and stealth design. A "stealth" monopole of lesser height typically allows fewer providers to co -locate than, e.g., a large and tall lattice tower. "Is City ownership of a tower a reasonable idea?" The City would need to make an economic analysis whether the investment of a tower on City property would earn a reasonable financial return through leases and also avoid objections to the chosen location. It is something other cities have done. Financial consulting firms could be engaged to provide an analysis of the cost -benefit to a city of such an undertaking. cc: Mike Norton Anne Norris 3589640 JMS CR225-310 T N a 1 LI ti F }1 G 1 lull FJ' 11(�'.��11 I tl1i L-07—j.- 1 y. a \ 1 •�P "I '1-' i Flood Boundary I_ approximate method' Elt t `� :Comm Panel No 1i�.
