He provided Council with a brief overview of their functions as a non-profit organization. He indicated that the scope and range of the services offered has expanded considerably since their first program was held in a small building near one of the local parks. Mr. Weiler reviewed the variety of services provided noting that the core service area is the South Washington area community and includes traditional services such as family counseling. He stated that they are abte to provide reasonable and economically assessable services to families in the community noting that they served over 2000 children last year within the three core service areas.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. November 16, 2005 Regular Meeting Mayor Shiely stated that the minutes stand approved as presented. CONSENT CALENDAR Council Member Bigham asked to pull Item 4H, a resolution authorizing a change in the speed limit from 35 mph to 30 mph on Hadley Avenue befinreen 90 Street and 97 Street. She asked City Engineer Levitt to provide a brief explanation of the reasons for this change. Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 5 City Engineer Levitt stated that the current speed limit on Hadley, between 90 and g7tn Streets, is 35 mph and Staff is proposing a decrease to 30 mph. She explained that the next five years will bring about construction and development activity along and adjacent to Hadley Avenue. She further explained that the development activity would be due to the further development of Mississippi Dunes, Rivers Edge and the Swanland property. She noted that these developments would ultimately drive the need for upgrading and improving Hadley Avenue. She stated that a school is also located in this area in addition to site alignment issues along 98 Street played a part in the decision to make a recommendation to lower the speed limit in this area. She stated that once the construction is completed Staff would have the State go through the normal review process to determine the appropriate speed limit for that area. She stated that signage would be posted throughout the area to reflect the speed limit change. Mayor Shiely expressed concerns stating that if they approve this change and lower the speed limit that the City would have a difficult time increasing the speed once construction has been completed. She referenced what happened with Hinton Avenue noting that it is her fear that the same thing would happen at this location when the State comes in to do their review of the area. She stated that she is very concerned about lowering the speed limit and not being able to increase the limit back to 35 mph when the construction is completed. She asked if Hadley would be seen as a collector street when finished. City Engineer Levitt confirmed that it would be seen as a collector street noting that once the State is able to complete their study a reasonable speed limit would be determined for the area. Council Member Bailey asked to pull Item 4P, a resolution amending the EDA enabling resolution by limiting terms of office to finro three-year terms and eliminating compensation for serving on the board. He clarified his understanding that there is currently one open position on the EDA and that if the terms are limited to 2 three-year terms, how would this impact the Commission and who would it affect. He clarified that the intent for these changes is to stagger the terms. City Administrator Schroeder explained that one term has expired, which is the open position, there is one term that would expire shortly, leaving four terms, that are staggered so as to not impact the Commission when changes occur. Jay Liberacki, Director of Development for US Homes, and a member of the audience asked the Council if a member from the audience could request that Item 4J and Item 40, resolutions authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for the Silverwood Addition and a resolution approving the final plat and subdivision agreement for Silverwood Addition, be pulled for discussion with the Council. Community Development Director Blin provided Council with a brief overview of each of the resolutions. He explained that the preliminary plat for the Silverwood Addition was approved in September 2005 noting that this is the approval of the final plat, which does conform with the preliminary plat. He indicated that Mr. Liberacki has some issues with the recommended Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 6 design of the ponding. He stated that the design conforms with the stormwater plan for this area and explained that the pond Mr. Liberacki is concerned with has always been intended as a regional pond with one half of the pond to be located on US Homes property and the other half on County property. He assured Council that the design of the pond and the design of the plat does conform, in total, to the preliminary plat adding that they are now past the state where any changes could be made to the plat. City Attorney Thomson explained that State law provides that if the final plat conforms to the preliminary plat and all additions or changes that have been attached to the approved resolution for the preliminary plat the applicant is entitled to receive approval of the final plat. Jay Liberacki, Director of Development for US Homes, agreed stating that everything Community Development Director Blin said is true, additionally, what he has to say is also true. He provided Council with finro exhibits that show the street systems along Pinecliff and the proposed Silverwood development. He reviewed the lowest lying areas of the site noting that the initial recommendation for the pond location was to place the pond at the lowest part of the site. He reviewed the original location as it compares to the proposed location presented in the final plat. He explained that part of the proposal involves digging out the hill in order to create a low point at a high point of the site. He stated that if the reason for this change is because there is a need for a larger pond it would make more sense to go to the north or the west area of the site where there is more space to create the pond. He expressed concerns stating that the current proposal is not intuitive and does not make sense. Mr. Liberacki stated that it is his understanding that several meetings were held over the past month to discuss this pond adding that he was not included in any of these meetings, yet the final recommendation impacts his development. He expressed concerns stating that US Homes has tried, on several occasions, to contact James R. Hill and Bonestroo and none of their phone calls were returned. He stated that their area of the proposed site does not need to be graded out and it is their wish that they would keep their storm water drainage issues on their property and not impact their development. He asked that language be added that would require Silverwood to look at a pipe equalizer for this site. He asked Council to direct Staff to consider their proposal rather than the larger design that encroaches upon the Pinecliff development. Mr. Liberacki asked the Council to consider one additional item. He stated that a couple of years ago, when they came to the table with the proposal to develop Pinecliff, they invested approximately $20,000 in the Kemp sewer line and if this area develops further they would like Council to consider allocating the costs across all vacant lots. He explained that what they are asking for is to have the offsite costs divided evenly amongst all users; this would be in addition to keeping their stormwater drainage on their property. Community Development Director Blin assured Council that the proposed pond included in the final plat meets all of the flow rate requirements and does work. He acknowledged that not everyone is in agreement with the proposed design adding that Staff would not approve Mr. Liberacki's recommendation due to the size and due to drainage concerns that have to be Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 7 addressed. He stated that in terms of the pipe issue, it was done at the US Homes cost adding that they were aware of their needs and did not agree, at the time of their approval, to have costs allocated across new developments as they occurred.

Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 8 MOTION CARRIED 5-0. RESPONSE TO PREVIOUSLY RAISED OPEN FORUM ISSUES NONE PUBLIC HEARINGS NONE BID AWARDS A. Consider Awardina the Contract for the Highlands Pond Gradinq Proiect to Danner, Inc. in the Amount of $228,550.00. City Engineer Levitt stated that this was a project that Council had rejected last fall due to high bids. She stated that the bids were opened for this project on January 19, 2006 noting that the City received a total of 15 bids. She stated that the lowest bidder on the project was Danner, Inc. noting that they were able to include a few additional items, at a lower cost, with this proposal. Council Member Bailey stated that the City was considering an island with the initial plan and asked if this was part of the proposal. City Engineer Levitt confirmed stating that they also included a trail connection. Council Member Grossklaus asked if the residents along the backside of the property would be notified about the changes. City Engineer Levitt stated that a neighborhood meeting was held last fall to discuss the proposal. She stated that Staff plans to hold another neighborhood meeting just prior to the start of construction to review the changes and additions with the residents. MOTION BY BAILEY, SECOND BY BIGHAM, TO ADOPT RESOLUT/ON NO. 06-016 AWARDING BID FOR THE HIGHLANDS POND GRADING PROJECT TO DANNER, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $228,550.00. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Consider Approval of the Citv of Cottaqe Grove Water Supply and Distribution Plan and Adopt the Proposed Emergency Preparedness and Conservation Plan. Mark Wallace, Registered Engineer, and Harry Taylor, Public Works Supervisor, were present to answer questions. City Engineer Levitt stated that the last Water Supply and Distribution Plan was completed in 1995 and since that time development patterns and land uses have changed. She explained Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 9 that the changes directly impact the projected future population water needs and in readiness to address the changes Council authorized an update of the City's water supply and distribution plan on May 4, 2005. She provided Council with an overview of the comprehensive Water Supply and Distribution Plan noting that it addresses both the near- term and ultimate needs of the City of Cottage Grove. She stated that the City of Cottage Grove has experienced steady growth over the last ten years and reviewed the existing facilities with Council. She explained that in order to move forward with the design of the new system Staff reviewed the service populations and did an overlay of the land use in the East Ravine. She further explained that this was done to help develop population projections. She stated that they also reviewed the Grey Cloud Island area and included a small area of Woodbury and Denmark Township because the City has the raw water supply and ability to provide the service, but it is up to our neighbors to decide whether they want to utilize the system or not. Mark Wallace, Engineer, explained that the purpose of the report is to help determine what trunk waters are required to service the City and when they should be built. He provided Council with an overview of the process they used to determine when the facilities should be built noting that the primary factor is based on water use, which is tied to the weather; site acquisition and the development process. He stated that in this study they took a forward look to decide what would be required for treatment noting that the City of Cottage Grove would not have to do much in the way of treatment as their water quality is quite good. Mr. Wallace stated that they also took a look beyond through `what if' scenarios that have been included in the report for Council review. He stated that the final piece addresses how the City would pay for the facilities, which is part of the Capital Improvement Plan. He noted that any development that comes in would still have to build their own pipe system because this is only the trunk and well system. Mr. Wallace stated that currently, they have three sources of revenue: lateral benefit for developments; area charges levied to the developer as part of the development process; and the connection charge, which would have to be determined. He stated that this report is the first cut at area and development charges noting that they would recommend further study to determine the assessment process and amounts. Mayor Shiely asked if there would be any financial benefit to the City if they were to allow neighboring Cities to utilize the system. Council Member Rice asked what the range would be for the stats. Mr. Wallace explained that 50 to 80 bpi is most desirable. Council Member Rice noted that the water pressure is quite low near the Englewood Tower area and asked for clarification as to why it would be so low. Mr. Wallace explained that the water pressure is lower because the tower is located at the highest point and the homes are located at a lower elevation, which impacts the water pressure. Council Member Bailey stated that he is aware of discussions around the need for two to Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 10 three water treatment facilities adding that he does not see any of this included in the Capital Improvement Plan. City Engineer Levitt explained that the reason it is not included is because they do not know what would trigger the need and at what period of time that need might arise. She further explained that the reason for the study is to identify what the needs might be and what would trigger those needs. Mr. Wallace stated that the report includes an analysis that would help them determine where the next set of wells would be located. He indicated that overall it would be less expensive to build one big treatment plan than several smaller ones noting that it was found that as the system and needs grow it would be less expensive to have a water treatment plant behind the fire station and a plant located in the southern portion of the City at later time. He stated that as far as when the City would actually need a treatment facility would depend on finro sets of standards: the USDA requirements in addition to a secondary set of standards that is based on the aesthetic qualities of the water. He explained that ground water sources are typically hard and high in iron and manganese and is more cost effective to soften the water from the home. Council Member Bigham asked if this would be crossed checked with the Comprehensive Plan and the East Ravine Master Plan. City Engineer Levitt explained that they used actual data that was created for the East Ravine for this plan noting that the two plans do overlap. MOTION BY BIGHAM, SECOND BY BAILEY, TO ADOPT RESOLUT/ON NO. 06-017, APPROVING THE CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. MOTION BY BAILEY, SECOND BY BIGHAM, TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE PROPOSED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND CONSERVATION PLAN. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. B. Consider Approvinp a Resolution Amending the 2006 Pav Plan for Non-Represented Emplovees. Finance and Administrative Services Director Hedberg stated that the 2006 Pay Plan for Non- Represented Employees was adopted at the December 21, 2005 City Council meeting adding that during the budget discussions Staff noted that future position reclassifications would be brought to Council for future consideration. He explained that at this time Staff is requesting that the Council approve the changes to the 2006 pay plan as contemplated during the budget discussions. He explained that the changes include a pay adjustment for the inclusion of the car allowance in annual pay for one position class and a reclassification that would involve seven individual positions to reflect the duties and responsibilities of the positions. Regular Meeting — February 1, 2006 Cottage Grove City Council Page 11 Finance and Administrative Services Director Hedberg explained that the past practice of the City has been to set the top pay levels to approximately 97-percent of the Stanton Average for Cities in the population range of 20,000 to 40,000. He noted that while not every position is paid at 97-percent, if a position falls below 97-percent a market value adjustment is then considered. He stated that the recommended changes strive to achieve this goal and include adjustments to closely align with policies and maintain internal and external comparisons. Finance and Administrative Services Director Hedberg stated that many of the metro areas report their salaries in a survey that is bound and made available to all Cities to use as a comparison. He stated that the changes would create a$13,000.00 budgetary impact, which was included in the Council budget discussions. He stated that there are also two changes within the resolution: The effective date for inclusion is January 1, 2006 and those affected would receive retro-pay back to January 1, 2006; and an error in the City Engineer position has been corrected, it originally shows the position placed at Step C and it should be Step D. He stated that these corrections have been made and are included for Council review. MOTION BY BIGHAM, SECOND BY GROSSKLAUS, TO ADOPT RESOLUT/ON NO. 06-018 AMENDING THE 2006 PAY PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES INCLUDING RETRO RATE TO JANUARY 1 ST AND CORRECTION TO CITY ENGINEER.
