J CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: August 20. 1996 AGENDA SECTION Discussion Item ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Scott Erickson,~t Engineering ITEM NO. :~~nter's Hollow/Preliminary Plat Discussion, Continued At the August 6, 1996 City Council meeting the developer of the proposed Hunter's Hollow development, Mr. Horst Graser had discussed with the City Council the need to install a permanent cul-de-sac at the end of 164th Avenue NW. The City Council had directed the City Attorney, Mr. Bill Hawkins to review the previous Council discussion regarding the Hunter's Hollow preliminary plat as it related to the discussion of the cul-de-sac at this location. As requested by the City Council, Mr. Hawkins will provide the Council with his opinion after reviewing the video tape of the Council meeting. / J CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION " / DATE: August 6 1996 AGENDA SECTION ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT ADD-ON Scott.Eric~son,~l Englneenng \tJ ITEM NO. Hunters Hollow / During the preliminary plat discussion pertaining to the proposed Hunters Hollow plat, the City Council had indicated to the developer that a permanent cul-de-sac should be constructed at the end of 164th Avenue as a compromise to having a street constructed between 164th Avenue and 165th Lane. At that time, the developer and the residents adjacent to the existing temporary cul-de-sac supported the construction of the permanent cul-de-sac. At this time, the developer has indicated that he has meet with the residents adjacent to the cul-de-sac location and they are not supportive of the construction of a permanent cul-de-sac at this location. The following questions have arisen, which need clarification by the Council: I. As the meeting minutes do not provide details regarding the discussion of the construction of the permanent cul-de-sac on 164th Avenue, and the preliminary plat approval was not made contingent on the cul-de-sac construction, the question has arisen whether the elimination of the street between I 64th Avenue and I 64th Lane was predicated on a permanent cul-de-sac being constructed at the end of I 64th Avenue 2. The Council indicated that the developer should participate in the construction of the permanent cul-de-sac at the end of I 64th Avenue The developer indicated that he interprets this to mean he will fund only a portion of its construction, while staff has interpreted this to mean the developer will construct the cul-de-sac at his expense. If the Council proposed to contribute city funds, the funding source should be identified. This item needs clarification. 3. The developer has indicated that the residents at the end of I 64th Avenue have now indicated that they are not willing to contribute the easement for a permanent cul-de-sac at this location. It is noted that there is room on the developers property to construct a permanent cul-de-sac. ) J (Continued) As the Council has indicated that a second access does not need to be provided for 164th Avenue, it is crucial to at least provide a full size cul-de-sac at this location to provide the necessary turn around for fire and safety vehicles. It was staffs understanding that the Council required the developer to construct a permanent cul-de-sac on the end of I 64th Avenue as a compromise to the neighborhood and the developer. The developer has indicated that he does not feel the costs is his to fund, and since the adjacent residents will not provide the required easement, the extension of the permanent cul-de-sac to his property is not warranted. This item needs clarification by the City Council. / I ~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 16, 1996 Page 5 J (Preliminary Plat/Indian Meadows 4th Addition, Continued) The Council was reluctant to approve the plat until the specific lots are identified that will need variances and Staff has a chance to review them. MOTION by Dehn further time to recommendation. to table this to the next meeting so Staff has ha~ evaluate the variance information and come back with a Motion died for lack of a Second. The developer explained only those three lots will need variances. They have met with the Building Official, Dave Almgren. Mr. Erickson suggested the plat be approved this evening with the variances on the three identified lots; and if they find other variances are needed, the developer will have to make a separate request for those variances. , , MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to Resolution approving the preliminary plat of Indian Meadows 4th Addition with the following changes: Item 1, change to read: "A variance to Ordinance 10, Section 9.06 A3 for Lots 1 and 2, Block 5, and Lot 4, Block 4, that do not meet the minimum 39,000-square-foot requirement subject to a report from the developer regarding on-site sewage treatment as required and approved by the Building Department for any or all lots prior to any grading." ) After Item 5, add Item No.6, Subject to approval by the City of a Tree Protection Plan and on-site marking. (See Resolution R139-96) Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Dehn, Seconded by Kunza, to include No Truck signage for the roads in question, especially to minimum quality roads, on those roads as deemed necessary. (referencing the already developed Indian Meadows neighborhoods) Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE PRELIMINARY PLAT/HUNTER'S HOLLOW Mr. Erickson reviewed the preliminary plat of Hunter's Hollow, which consists of 22 single family rural residential lots being developed by Gold Nugget Development Company. Variances to the 39,000-square-foot minimum requirement are being requested for Lots 2 and 4, Block 1; Lot 1, Block 2; Lot 1, Block 3; and Lot 6, Block 4. The variance originally requested for the tangent section between reserve curves is no longer needed. There was substantial public opposition to the extension of Heather Street between 164th Lane and 164th Avenue, though the construction of the cul-de-sacs on those streets were not intended to be permanent. They are long deadend cul-de-sacs which greatly exceed the ordinance requirement for maximum length. Public safety is the reason the Andover Review Committee and the Fire Department recommended those streets connect to this plat. J Councilmember Knight felt that to connect 164th Lane and Avenue with Heather Street as proposed really puts a burden on two homeowners. He didn't recall having a cul-de-sac removed before where the City deliberately turned the existing lot into a corner lot. Normally the ~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 16, 1996 Page 6 I (Preliminary Plat/Hunter's Hollow, Continued) extension of a temporary cul-de-sac will go straight through. other hand, this is the only chance to make a connection to the On the east. Councilmember Jacobson felt the lot and block numbers are confusing, as there are two Block 3s in the same plat. He asked where the house will be located on Lot 6, Block 3, in the lower portion of the plat. Horst Grazer, Gold Nuqqet Development - stated that lot is very large with the majority in the flood plain. The peat is extremely deep, making the lot nonbuildable. It may be purchased by the adjoining soe farmer. The lot originally started as an outlot, but the Council had preferred it be labeled as a lot. Councilmember Jacobson preferred it remain labeled as a lot. He too was concerned with Heather Street. He understood the premise behind building it, but he felt it doesn't make sense to place that road there. It provides no purpose. He noted the septic system is shown quite a distance from the house on Lot 3, Block 4. Do they have the perlnits to cross the wetlands for 166th Lane? . John Berq, developer's enqineer - stated that location of the septic system on Lot 3 is where the suitable soils are found and the system can 'be located to meet all regulations. The location is down hill from Jwhere the house will be located. The watershed has given approval for the plat. The wetlands will be crossed with 48-inch culverts. They have reduced the total flow from the site, keeping it on site, so there will be no flooding down stream as a result of the plat. In discussing the split median at the entrance of 166th off Round Lake Boulevard, Mr. Erickson stated the monument sign will be placed on private property. The median is for traffic and aesthetics. Councilmember Jacobson expressed concern with the sod truck traffic tha~ will be going through the developed neighborhood. There was also talk of converting that area to a commercial driving range. That type of traffic can create problems for the people moving in, so they should know up front about the commercial truck traffic and possible recreational traffic going through their area. Councilmember Knight had the same reservations, wondering if there is a more logical entrance for the sod farming operation that would be less bothersome for everybody. Mr. Berg stated the layout of the plat didn't work out to allow the sod trucks to use the existing path to Seventh Avenue. He expected that farm will now use 166th Avenue as its exit. The bituminous on the street is designed for garbage trucks, and sod trucks weigh much less; so he saw no problem with the capability of the street handling the truck.' traffic. ,Mr. Grazer stated there is an easement adjacent to Jquarter that accesses Round Lake Boulevard, but constructed. They have told the sod farmer that he the southern path as an access. the it can north quarter has not been no longer use ~ ... c- 'a' _.... ~ ~~... Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 16, 1996 Page 7 ~ .' (Preliminary Plat/Hunter's Hollow, Continued) Mike Ekstrom. 3040 164th Lane - noted the petition opposing the Heather Street connection given ,to the Council from all residents along 164th Lane except one family. He highlighted the six reasons listed in the petition for opposing that connection. The plat gives the developer three cul-de-sacs, which gives him a greater profit, at the expense of them loosing their cul-de-sac. The people do not want the Heather Street connection and the developer does not want it. The new road would be 50 feet from his neighbor, who has two young children. He asked that the Council not dictate to them what is best for them. Todd Micklev. 3020 164th Lane NW - stated the whole neighborhood is opposed to the connection. His property would be on the corner, wit~ the back of his house 33 feet from his property line. A road adjacent to his property creates an undue hardship on him. There is a shed 10- feet from the property line which wouldn't meet code if it becomes a street, plus his neighbor also has a shed. His property wasn't laid out with the intent of having a side street. Another person from the development east of this area expressed concern with the farming operation, as they are all tired of the trucks through their development. It is not only a safety issue for children, but the noise. The developer had mentioned that $250,000 to $300,000 houses were going to be constructed in the development. He wondered how many would like to listen to the trucks after investing that amount of money in their homes. It was also noted that last weekend there were airplanes landing on that property, which created considerable noise. He also didn't think they needed another lake. The Park Board recommended c.ash in lieu of land, but he thought this would be an appropriate area for a playground and/or nature area. There is also concern with the speed on 164th Lane to Round Lake Boulevard, as it has the potential of becoming a speedway. Further Council comments were on the possibility of widening the cul-de- sac on 164th Lane to the permanent full-sized requirements, th~ possibility of installing "Children at Play" signs along 164th Avenue tc reduce the speed of traffic, that a speed study could be done along 164th Avenue since there is no possibility of the speed being increased, that it may be necessary in the future for the sod farming operation to construct an access out the northern easement if traffic through the developments becomes a problem, and that.the bituminous on 166th should be sufficient to handle the additional sod truck traffic. Councilmember Dehn pointed out that the City's policy is to preserve farm land and open spaces, but farming operations also create noise, dust and other nuisances. .' MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, the Resolution approving the ,preliminary plat of Hunter's Hollow as presented with two changes: ;under Item 2, the tangent section between the reverse curves, eliminate completely, and change to "On the preliminary plat, remove the north- south section of Heather between 164th Lane and 164th Avenue. (See Resolution R140-96) Motion carried unanimously. CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION " DATE: August 20 1996 AGENDA SECTION Discussion Item ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Scott Erickson,~( Engineering ITEM NO. Ponding for Radamacher & Assoc.lHills 4~ Bunker Lake 3rd Addn. The City Council has been requested by Mr. Joe Nemo of Radamacher and Assoc. to discuss with the Council the ponding requirements for the proposed Bills Superette to be constructed at the intersection of 138th Lane NWand Hanson Boulevard. The City's Water Resource Management Plan requires all new developments to be managed based on the 100 year flood level. As the Council is aware, this means that each new development is required to provide on-site ponding to handle the 100 year flood event. With the proposed site plan presented by Radamacher and Assoc. the storm water ponding is indicated along the easterly side of the development. As proposed the pond would eliminate a number of trees which would provide a buffer between the commercial and residential areas at this location. Mr. Nemo has indicated that they would like to have a variance to this requirement of the Water Resource Management Plan in order to maintain the buffer. I It was indicated by the developer that originally this site was proposed to drain to the adjacent storm pond located within the residential area. As some of the Council may recall from previous discussions, the developer and builders of various lots adjacent to the pond constructed the homes at a lower elevation than was originally anticipated. As a result a berm was installed between the commercial and residential developments to limit the amount of water that could enter the storm water pond. In addition, the City has installed a pumping system to help reduce the potential for flooding problems in this area. When the berming and storm water piping improvements were installed easements were not obtained on the Radamacher property. Thus, their survey indicates the improvements were constructed on the northeast corner of their property. The concerns staff has in providing a variance to this section of the Water Resource Management Plan are as follows: 1. If the on-site ponding is not provided to handle the 100 year flood event the additional water from this site may impact the existing pond and the residential properties adjacent it. 2. We want to ensure that a precedent is not being set on eliminating the need for the ponding requirements. Staff has been discussing various options with the developer that could potentially meet the storm water ponding requirement and also preserve the tree buffer between the commercial and residential properties. The options that have been discussed are as follows: " 1. Reconfigure the site to allow for ponds to be constructed in other areas of the property other than the area adjacent to the residential development. 2. Look at the possibility of constructing retaining walls for the ponding area as the majority of the ponding area consists of the side slopes of the pond which could greatly be reduced through the use of retaining. This would reduce the amount of grading that would need to be done in the area. 3. Look at reducing as much hard surface as possible to reduce the amount of ponding that is necessary. 4. Incorporate a combination of the above to preserve the tree buffer between the commercial and residential sites. There may be a number of other options that could be further evaluated. / , I ~ ~ -.. -~~._---~~-..~-, ,n ~~,. ----~--~ ~"--'---O----'-' -~'~'-----'~-----'--' ._ u.___"u 0 '0 I I \ ) \ r~' ~ . ------- ~ '''''N 3NVl Ili"bWQ1!) !

The issue at hand centers around the ability for cities to set standards in their various ordinances for installing utilities in public rights-of-way. The Fifth District Court judge indicated that cities have the right to impose reasonable regulations. Now, the League wants to prepare to work with the Public Utilities Commission to counter any further challenges to this decision. Please review the information provided by the League of Minnesota Cities. The Suburban Rate Authority is offering membership through June 30, 1997, per no annual assessment upon Andover's payment to the League of Minnesota Cities of$1,261, which is the requested amount for participation in the protection of rights-of-way. If the City decides to help fund the defense of rights-of-way guarantees, then the money could come out of the Contingency Fund. The Contingency Fund presently has a balance of nearly $39,000 out of an adopted budget of$41,651. July 2, 1996 145 University Avenue West, St. Paul, HN 55103-2044 phone: (612) 281-1200 .

TDD (612) 281-1290 HECEIVED JUl 0 4 1996 CITY OF ANDOVER uague of M,Onnesola CiUes Cities promoting exceUence Dear Mayor McKelvey and Members of the Andover City Council; By now, you are probably aware of the rights of way issue facing cities in Minnesota. US West's challenge to local management of the public rights of way is one ofthe most critical issues cities have faced in years. It was a topic of considerable discussion at the Annual Conference, where member cities supported the League Board of Directors decision to move forward with an aggressive work program and financing plan to counter this challenge. We need your city to make a special payment to this fund and help put the work plan into action. The work plan developed by the Rights of Way Task Force and approved by the Board could cost $325,000 or more. This assumes that a large portion of the work plan will be coordinated by and implemented through League staff. The Board has agreed to allocate $125,000 from the current League budget for the work plan and is asking member cities to voluntarily pay $200,000. Based on your city's 1995-96 League dues, your suggested minimum payment is $1,261. / Please consider this request in July and submit your payment by August 15, 1996 if at all possible. If each city meets their minimum payment, the $200,000 target is reachable. However, because it is unlikely that all cities will join this voluntary effort, we encourage members to allocate more if this initiative is of particular importance to them. Two important points should be made: First, this is a voluntary payment. As a member of the League of Minnesota Cities, you are not required to take part in this effort. However, if total city payments fall significantly short of the $200,000 goal, the League will not be able to fully undertake the work plan. Second, your voluntary payment should not be confused with your League membership dues which will be billed at the beginning of September. The Board of Directors and I understand that this issue must be weighed against the priorities in your city. However, we believe that the prospect oflosing local control of public property warrants this extraordinary effort. This is a complicated issue, please consider it carefully. Enclosed is a brief information sheet to help you in your deliberations. If you have any questions, contact me at (218) 643-1431, League Executive Director Jim Miller at (612) 280- 1205 or (800) 925-1122, or any member of the Board of Directors. Sincerely, 4r:d# , / Blaine C. Hill President, League of Minnesota Cities cc: City Manager, Ad~~rntercWP€;mrhNlTY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER Common questions about public rights of way League of Minnesota CiUlla Cities promoting excellenCfZ Q Why did local management of public rights of way become such an issue? A -In February, US West challenged a ~edwood Falls ordinance that set standards for installing fiber optic cable in the public right of way. The ordinance charges a small per foot fee, requires the cable to be encased in concrete conduit, or, if that isn't done, limits the city's liability in case the cable is damaged. US West asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to take over jurisdiction of city rights of way, and set aside any local regulations. Then, US West sued the city of Redwood Falls in District Court. US West asked the court to prevent the city from enforcing the ordinance, and allow them to lay their fiber optic cable pending resolution of the matter before the PUc. QDidn't the District Court rule in favor of Redwood Falls? A - Yes. The League intervened on behalf of ~edwood Falls early in the proceedings and hired outside legal counsel with expertise in utility law. Those efforts paid off when a Fifth District Court Judge dismissed the lawsuit brought by US West. In the order dismissing the suit, the judge stated essentially that the state law creating the PUC authorized it to regulate telephone service providers but did not take away cities' right to impose reasonable regulations and to charge a reasonable franchise fee for the use of their streets and services. The judge wrote "...The public utility commission regulates telephone companies, not cities." QDoesn't that settle things? ANot necessarily. The District Court ruling probably will have little bearing on the PUC ruling, which is expected later this summer. US West may also appeal the District Court ruling. Regardless of what happens in these two arenas, the Legislature will be looking at this issue when the 1997 session begins in January. Q Why is this such an important issue? A-The implications of this case are enormous. J-\.As deregulation and competition among telecommunication and utility providers continues, there will be more and more demand for access to the ground under city streets. All kinds of businesses and utilities make use of that scarce space - telephone companies, cable television companies, gas companies, power companies - and so on. If cities are not allowed to manage the use of the right of way, streets could be tom up regularly and underground facilities could become a tangled maze. Imagine your city completing a major repaving project, only to have the street tom up by a utility looking to install lines. Imagine the phone calls to city hall from irate residents if streets are blocked offtwo or three times a year. Imagine your frustration when it becomes obvious that local taxpayers are being forced to subsidize private industry and pay higher taxes to build and maintain city streets. QSo what is the League of Minnesota Cities doing? AAS the magnitude of this issue became clear, the League Board of Directors appointed a Rights of Way Task Force to look at what should be done. Through the course of several meetings, the Task Force developed a work program that involves legal, legislative, and public information strategies to protect cities' role in managing the public right of way. The Task Force estimates that full implementation of the work program could cost as much as $325,000. The Board has agreed to finance this work program by allocating $125,000 from the current League budget and asking member cities to voluntarily allocate $200,000. Q$200.000 is a lot of money. What is the League going to do with all of that? A -The work plan includes legal ~epresentation, work with legislative leaders, and an extensive statewide public information campaign. While League staff will take on the bulk of this work, it's likely that outside assistance will be needed. QHOW did you decide how much you want our city to pay? ^ Your suggested payment is based on a ~ercentage of your city's 1995-96 League dues. QDO we have to pay? How will the payment affect our dues? ANO city if required to pay. This is strictly a voluntary payment. Also, it's entirely separate from the League dues statement your city will receive in September. Q What if our city decides not to pay? A-That's your choice. As a member of the .rt.League of Minnesota Cities, you are not required to take part in this effort. However, if total city payments fall significantly short of the $200,000 goal, the League will not be able to fully undertake the work plan. Q Can our city pay more? ACertainly. In fact, we encourage members to allocate more to this fund if this initiative is of particular importance to them. If all member cities meet their minimum payment, the $200,000 target is reachable - but it's unlikely that every city will join this voluntary effort. QAfter we pay, how can we stay up to date on the issue? AWe will keep you informed of any developments through articles in Cities Bulletin, direct mailings, and broadcast faxes. Q Clearly, our payment is only part of the solution. What else can we do? A -The best thing city officials can do is stay J-\..informed, and pass that information along to as many others as possible. Discuss rights of way with your local editors and reporters; make local control a campaign issue for your House and Senate candidates; talk to your local Chamber of Commerce about the business impact of tom-up streets; let taxpayers know you're working to protect their investment in streets. QI'm still confused. Who should I call?

RECEIVED AUG 1 2 1996 CITY OF ANDOVER August 9, 1996 Suburban Rate Authority Membership Dear Mr. Fursman: As you may know, the Suburban Rate Authority (SRA) is a joint powers organization consisting of 33 Twin Cities suburban cities. For over twenty years the SRA has been a voice for suburban governments, residents and businesses before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). In the big dollar world of ratemaking, it is fair to say that SRA successes have saved suburban ratepayers literally millions of dollars in electric, gas and telephone rates over this period. We are entering an era of unprecedented change in the regulation of utility services, particularly in telecommunications and electricity. Every city must be vigilant in protecting its authority over the rights-of-way and the health, safety and welfare of its residents. In utility matters before the PUC and in the legislature it is very difficult for cities to "go it alone". In turn, the SRA needs each of its members to speak with a voice that will be heard by the PUC and the utility companies. The SRA would like to offer vour citv membership in the SRA throuqh June 30. 1997 for no annual assessment or continuinq obliqation of anv kind. Upon your city's payment to the League of Cities of the requested special assessment for the upcoming legislative debate over right-of-way authority, the SRA will accept your associate membership upon receipt of a city council resolution (enclosed). At that time we can discuss the Joint and Cooperative Agreement that sets forth the terms of membership. The SRA supports the League in its efforts to ensure city protection of rights-of-way and 'makes this offer with the knowledge and endorsement of the League. The SRA is a separate organization, distinct from the League or AMM. The SRA was formed as a regulatory body itself prior to 1975, and has been an active intervenor in electric, gas and telecommunication matters since 1975. 470 PILLSBURY CENTER.

JAY SALMEN SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY INTRODUCTION This summary is intended to describe the history, purposes and accomplishments of the Suburban Rate Authority (" SRA") . / The SRA is a joint powers organization consisting of 33 suburban cities (list of cities attached) that actively intervenes in matters affecting gas, electric, and telephone rates charged to suburban residents and businesses. The material below attempts to demonstrate the tangible savings achieved by the SRA. Though actual dollar savings are often difficult to calculate, the SRA has saved residents and businesses of Twin City suburban communities millions of dollars over the last 20 years. A conservative calculation reflects a $200,000 per SRA member vote savings since 1975. HISTORY AND PURPOSES The SRA was organized in 1963, for the purpose of providing collective strength in negotiating franchises with the Minneapolis Gas Company, which served the original SRA members. In 1974, the legislature adopted the Public Utilities Act to provide for state regulation of gas and electric utilities, except for cooperative electric associations and municipal utilities. SRA assisted the state in setting up regulation and intervened in the early gas and electric cases with the hope of providing leadership and direction in utility regulation. Since that time, it has been active in matters concerning gas, electric and telephone rate regulation and in legislation concerning the Public Utilities Commission ("PUC"). '. , ) JMSI05177 su160-3 RECENT INVOLVEMENT / 1996 Model Wireless Communication Lease Aqreement. The SRA provided primary drafting contributions to a League of Minnesota Cities Model Site Lease Agreement for PCS/cellular communication antennas. This Model has been distributed to Minnesota cities for use in negotiation on site lease agreements. 1996 US West Riqht-of-Way Challenqe. A significant legal challenge to municipal authority over rights-of-way was brought by US West to the PUC and the district court. The SRA took an active position in support of the League and the other cities involved directly in the challenge. This issue will be the subject of legislation in the 1997 Minnesota legislative session. , j 1996 Minneqasco Case. The SRA and the Department Public Service successfully argued against a $1 million annual acquisition adjustment (23 years of recovery requested) Minnegasco sought to recover from ratepayers for its acquisition of Midwest Gas. In addition, the SRA criticized the allocation of Minnegasco to residential customers and the Commission ultimately denied Minnegasco's proposed change, saving residential customers money. The residential basic service charge also remained at the same level ($5 per month) as supported by the SRA. 1995 Updated Model Gas and Electric Utility Franchises. The SRA and the League drafted model utility franchise ordinances. The increasing deregulation in both the electric and gas utility industries necessitated revisions to the previous model franchise ordinances approved by the SRA. 1995 Minneqasco Fixed Residential Cu~tomer Cha~qe. The PUC denied Minnegasco's request for an ~ncrease ~n the residential customer fixed monthly gas charge from $5 to $6 per month. The SRA was the sole party to argue that Minnegasco must make a greater showing to justify requested and intended increases in the fixed, non-usage based monthly charge. The requested increase was made without a showing that statutorily required conservation policies would not be inhibited. 1995 Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance. The SRA prepared and shared its Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance with the League of Minnesota Cities. In collaboration, the SRA and the League distributed the ordinance to all Minnesota cities. The purpose of the ordinance is to provide orderly pOlice power regulations over telecommunications companies in the city. This ordinance will be reviewed in light of the 1996 Telecommunications Act and legal developments resulting from it. , 1993 Minneqasco and NSP Rate Cases-FAS 106. The SRA played a substantial role in one of the major issues to be raised ) JMSIOSl77 SU160-3 2 '~1 before the Minnesota PUC in several years--FAS 106. A post retirement medical health care benefits "transition obligation" was sought by Minnegasco and NSP as a result of the accounting standard known as FAS 106 which required a change from cash basis to accrual accounting for such benefits. This change involves millions of dollars (Minnegasco $24 million; NSP $160 million) to be borne currently either by the utility shareholders or utility ratepayers. The PUC originally voted in May 1993 to disallow one-half of Minnegasco' s transition obligation, but ultimately reversed its decision and allowed those expenses. These expenses will be spread out over a twenty year period in rates. This issue is an example of the millions of dollars at stake in utility rates the SRA fights to limit for ratepayers. / 1992 US West Telephone Rate Savinqs. As of November 1, 1992, residential and business telephone rates for US West Twin City local calling area became equal by class of service throughout the metropolitan area. This PUC action eliminated the tiered telephone rates that was in existence since 1980. The US West Tier System charged higher rates for residential and business customers living in the suburban areas. In 1984 the SRA achieved a reduction of one half of the tier ratios. This elimination of the Tier System is a direct result of SRA's intervention and arguments against differentiating telephone rates by geographic location. / 1992 Municipal Pumpinq Rate Savinqs. Together with the City of St. Paul and the Municipal Pumpers Association, SRA efforts have consistently maintained pumpinq class rates at 2-3% below qeneral service class and have continued the municipal pumping exemption from the eleven-month demand ratchet rate imposed on commercial-industrial users. The SRA's expert consultant has estimated that avoiding the eleven-month demand ratchet charge alone saves 7.5-10% in annual municipal pumping charges paid to NSP. 1991 NSP General Rate Filinq. The SRA actively intervened in this NSP filing, wherein the PUC rejected NSP's $120,000,000 rate increase request. The SRA focused on the municipal pumpers' rate and street lighting. The SRA is traditionally the only intervenor seeking reduced increases in the municipal pumping rate and has seen consistent success in that effort. 1990 US West Incentive Requlation Plan. We actively intervened in the case involving US West's request to be partially deregulated in its local service to residential and business customers. The final order established stable rates for Twin City local telephone customers of US West through August of 1994. US West will share 50% of its revenues above a 13.5% return on equity. " , ) JMS105177 SU160-3 3 1987 Northwestern Bell Extended Area Service Docket. The SRA made significant progress in demonstrating cost in equities in the -' Twin City Metropolitan Area Northwestern Bell service area. SRA participation in this case helped lay the ground work for the order abandoning the Tier System. 1986 Redeliberation on Northwestern Bell Cases. The SRA obtained very substantial reductions in the Tier System ratios. These changes resulted in very significant savings in telephone rates for most SRA business and residential users prior to the elimination of this rate design in 1992. 1985 Rate Structure Task Force. The SRA was active in the formulation of funding proposals for the Combined Sewer Overflow ("CSO") projects in the Cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and South St. Paul. SRA involvement may have limited the pass-through of these costs to member communities. 1985 Northern States Power General Rate Case. The SRA "pioneered" an issue as to fossil fuel inventory. The SRA also helped maintain the municipal pumping rate, and defended prior SRA accomplishments as to accounting practices. Very substantial savings were realized through SRA intervention. This case was appealed to the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court and the SRA (alone) participated with MPUC in successfully defending MPUC's action. , ESTIMATED DOLLAR SAVINGS FROM SRA EFFORTS These are rough calculations made with the assistance of legal counsel and SRA expert consultants. In an effort to be able to contrast savings with assessments, the calculations are made on a per SRA member vote basis (5,000 of population). They attempt to distinguish savings resulting primarily from SRA efforts and savings that likely would have resulted anyway due to positions taken by state agencies. 1975 NSP. SRA's retained expert estimated $18 to $20 per household. Using 3.4 persons per household, this would be approximately $26,500 per vote. The figure does not include business savings. 1977 NSP. There is no estimate of dollar savings in the file. The 1975 principles were defended successfully. It is thus reasonable to state that the $26,500 per vote continued from 1975 and onward. To be conservative, use five years of $132,000 per vote for NSP electric through 1980. , \ J 1982 Northwestern Bell. The SRA commenced its attack on the Tier System. In 1984, the SRA won a significant victory reducing by 50% the tier ratios imposed by Bell. Northwestern Bell has estimated a shift away from suburban communities of about $2 million to $3 million per year as a result of SRA JMS105177 5U160-3 4 / intervention in the three Bell rate cases through the 1980's. Using $2 million per year and the assumption that SRA represents approximately half of the suburban businesses and households (this has not been calculated, it is just an estimate), the savings is about $6500 per vote per year. Over the seven years, since this change became effective, this is $45,500 per vote. " 1985 NSP. Our consultant estimated savings due solely to SRA intervention at about $8 per household per year. Over the two years the rate was in effect, this is a savings of about $23,500 per vote. 1987 NSP. Estimated savlngs from the fuel lssue lS $1,600 per vote per year. Uniform Franchises. The gas and electric uniform franchises were negotiated in the 1980's at a cost of approximately $40 per vote. Attorney and staff costs for doing it individually might easily have been ten times that, a savings of $1260 per member or $360 per vote. 1992 NSP. As mentioned above, the savings per SRA member lS about 2-3% per year for municipal pumping rates and 7.5-10% In avoiding ratchet demand. / 1992 US West. The savings from elimination of the Tier System to tier 2 and 3 SRA residents and businesses is approximately $1 million per year and counting. 1996 Minneqasco. Collective savings to SRA residents from SRA efforts in the 1996 Minnegasco case is approximately $300,000 per year. Summary. A conservative estimate of dollar savinqs to SRA members because of SRA activities, directly and indirectly, over the years since 1975 is well over $200,000 per vote and countinq. A case could be made for multiples of this figure. 1 ) JMSIOSl77 SlJ160-3 5 " / '. / Bloomington Brooklyn Park Burnsville Circle Pines Columbia Heights Deephaven Eden prairie Edina Fridley Greenwood Hastings Hopkins Lauderdale Long Lake Maple Plain Maplewood Minnetonka / JMS105177 5U160-3 SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY MEMBER CITIES Minnetrista New Brighton North St. Paul Orono Osseo Plymouth Robbinsdale Roseville St. Louis Park Savage Shakopee Shoreview Spring Park Wayzata West St. Paul Woodbury SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY ANNUAL REVIEW 1994 The following is a brief summary intended for the city councils of Suburban Rate Authority ("SRA") member cities. It highlights the major activities and achievements of the SRA during 1994. The SRA is a joint powers association of 32 Twin Cities suburban municipalities that monitors rates and rate design issues of electric, gas, telephone utilities and Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services. The SRA was very active and successful in several far-reaching issues affecting member city ratepayers and Minnesota cities generally. Telecommunications Legislation In the fall of 1994, the SRA Board authorized counsel to participate in legislative issues affecting cities relating to the alternative telephone regulation bill (local service de-regulation) then expected to be offered in the 1995 legislative session. The SRA assisted the lobbying efforts of the League of Minnesota Cities in two important issues relating to that legislation: clarifying and broadening the police power of cities in the new competitive environment for a local telephone service and addressing cities rights to compensation for telecommunications utility use of public property. As of the date of this report, those SRA supported issues have been incorporated into the biII which passed out of both the Senate and House Committees and is being debated in the legislature at the time of this Review. The Department of Public Service will be authorized by this biII to issue a comprehensive report by February 15, 1996 recommending a unifollll state policy on franchise fees for use of public property by utilities. Currently no telecommunications companies to pay franchise fees to Minnesota cities and the law is unclear regarding the rights of cities to require fees over and above regulatory cost. The SRA advocated a clarification on this issue and actively assisted in the inclusion of this study, in lieu of the right to require franchise fees in the current bill. The SRA wiII be actively involved in the DPS study if this bill passes. , '~ Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance The SRA also drafted a model telecommunications pellllit ordinance to establish unifollll requirements regarding important issues to cities in the new competitive telecommunications environment: pennit fees, location and relocation requirements, repair requirements, perfollllance bonds, Gopher State One infollllation and other provisions. The telephone deregulation bill language broadening city police power would further ensure the enforceability of these telecommunications pellllit ordinances. The Minnesota League of Cities has requested that the model pellllit ordinance be used as a basis for the League's model ordinance for distribution to its members. Minnegasco 1994 Rate Case The SRA won a significant victory for residential ratepayers served by Minnegasco in limiting increases in the fixed customer service charge Minnegasco sought. In 1993 Minnegasco won a 67% increase (from $3 to $5) in a fixed non-usage based customer charge for its residential customers. This increase was augmented by the elimination of a credit for gas usage. In the 1994 filing, Minnegasco sought again to increase its $5 charge to $6, stating that it intended to continue these increases in subsequent rate filings. The SRA was the sole party to criticize this increase as contrary to conservation goals established by the legislature and otherwise unsupported by evidence in the record. The DPS supported the increase. The PUC agreed with the SRA and denied Minnegasco's increase, citing conservation concerns and lack of customer acceptance. This PUC decision has ramifications for both gas and electric utilities and places a greater burden on the utilities in future rate filings to justify an increase in non-usage based charges. \ JMS87296 8U160-3 SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY ANNUAL REVIEW 1995 " .J The following is a brief summary intended for the city councils of Suburban Rate Authority ("SRAn) member cities. It highlights the major activities and achievements of the SRA during 1995. The SRA is a joint powers association of 32 Twin Cities suburban municipalities that monitors rates and rate design issues of electric. gas and telecommunications utilities. 1995 and 1996 have been extremely active and successful years for the SRA. Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance The SRA drafted a model telecommunications pennit ordinance in conjunction with the League of Minnesota Cities to establish unifonn requirements regarding important issues to cities in the new competitive telecommunications environment: pennit procedure and fees. location and relocation requirements, repair requirements. perfonnance bonds. indemnity and other provisions. The recentIy-enacted Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 includes important and debated language regarding cities' right to manage and receive compensation for use of the right-of-way. The SRA!League Model Ordinance pre-dates the Act but establishes many of the vital protection cities need when telecommunications carriers seek to expand within the City and expressly preserves rights to franchising or leasing. " Minnegasco 1995 Rate Case The SRA actively intervened on behalf of ratepayers in Minnegasco's 1995 petition for a $24.3 million rate increase and a 7.7% requested increase for residential customers. The SRA. through its expert witness. Robert Towers of Chesapeake Regulatory Consultants. has challenged a $1 million annual claimed ratepayer expense resulting from Minnegasco's purchase of the Midwest Gas system. The SRA also argues that Minnegasco exaggerates the revenue deficiency created by the residential customer class rates and has not shown a justification for an increase in the fixed monthly residential customer charge. The AU adopted the SRA arguments challenging the $1 million Midwest Gas acquisition adjustment that. if accepted by the PUC. will save SRA residents and businesses approximately $215.000 annuallv. The PUC will decide on the petition during the summer of 1996. _/ Model Gas and Electric Franchise Ordinances Again in partnership with the League of Minnesota Cities. the SRA updated its unifonn gas and electric utility franchises to assist its member cities in negotiating new franchises. Of particular interest to cities in today's changing fiscal environment is the right to charge franchise fees. In addition. electric utilities are likely to be deregulated within the next decade. Tenns and conditions of franchises become increasingly important to those utilities when-they perceive that franchise tenns may affect competition. Electric Industry Deregulation The SRA intervened in a long-tenn investigation and review by the PUC of the electric utility industry. The PUC will be making a recommendation regarding if and when electric service should be deregulated for retail customers. The SRA has opposed utility company suggestions that eminent domain rights be equalized between cities and investor-owned utilities and that franchise rights be diminished. The SRA will continue to monitor the proceedings. \ '. ./ Customer Service Task Force The SRA was invited to participate on a task force for the PUC on customer liability and service issues. The task force addressed issues on notice to customers. liability of innocent residential customers for past unpaid debts of prior customers living at the new residence and dispute resolution procedures. JMS103351 SU160-) " 1996-97 SRA PROJECTS & ANTICIPATED PROJECTS ./ To assist in the 1997 SRA Budget review process. the following is infonnation describing the types of issues the SRA is currently addressing and those in which we believe the SRA will be involved to protect residential. business. and city government ratepayers of SRA members. Given the quantity of important issues, it is possible that the SRA will be required to focus only on two of three of these issues to stay within its budget constraints. These matters are in addition to the General budget item that usually carries the largest component of any SRA annual budget. The General category includes quarterly meetings. member and non- member communications and on-going identification of new issues that may arise. 1. CITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY CONTROL AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS. On February 23, 1996, US West filed a petition with the PUC requesting an order limiting city rights to control the rights-of-way. This petition seeks broad PUC authority and limits on cities. The SRA has intervened and will be working closely with the League of Cities and other interested public bodies to protect city authority to control and receive compensation for utility use of the public right-of-way. This issue will likely come before the 1997 legislature for comprehensive review and possible new law. The SRA and all Minnesota cities should regard this matter as vitally important. 2. MINNEGASCO GAS RATE INCREASES. The SRA has been successful in the , " ) administrative hearing portion of the 1995 Minnegasco rate increase petition advocating no recovery from ratepayers for Minnegasco's acquisition premium for the Midwest Gas assets. Minnegasco has been very aggressive in the 1990s in seeking rate increases and the SRA is one of the few non-state agency parties to vigorously contest several of the more significant recovery requests. The SRA will continue to seek the lowest possible rates for SRA residents and businesses. 3. CITY WATER TOWER LEASES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has spawned numerous applications for wireless communication antennae on city water tower sites. The SRA has been very active in coordinating a League of Cities sponsored worlc group to establish a model site lease agreement for use by cities. Each lease will be influenced by the many market considerations such as lease payments, tennination rights. interference issues and other matters. This group effort will greatly assist cities in their negotiations with cellular. PCS and other wireless communica- tions applicants. , \ '. / 4. ELECfRlC INDUSTRY DEREGULATION. The PUC is conducting an ongoing investigation into the deregulation of the electric utility industry. At issue for retail ratepayers will be the opportunities and burdens that will result when customers are able to purchase power from providers other than the franchised-provider in the service area. Cities also will be affected greatly as large customers with significant purchasing clout and as being forced to deal with potential negative consequences if certain residential customers are unable to benefit from de-regulation.

Water Usage/Sunshine Park Il. The City Council is requested to discuss the water usage and how the usage should be paid for in Sunshine Park. If you recall, the City Council discussed this issue at the special meeting between the City Council and the Park and Recreation Commission of July 10, 1996. Attached is the agenda item and meeting minutes of July 10, 1996 for review. Note: Also attached is the June 7, 1994 meeting minutes of the City Council as to the discussion of a well vs. municipal water. ) There is an item on the agenda ordering a feasibility report for the possibility of installing a well. CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: July 10 1996 AGENDA SECTION ITEM NO. ~ Consider Using Contingency Fund for Water Usage & Cleaning at Sunshine Park ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Todd Haas~. Parks ~.. 3. The City Council is requested to discuss the possibility of using the contingency fund to pay for water usage and cleaning at the Sunshine Park for the remainder of 1996 as requested by the Park and Recreation Commission. The City Council has already approved the use of park dedication funds for the cleaning of the building through 1996 and this will be a budgeted item in 1997. The bill for water usage at the fields for the 2nd quarter was about $4,000. We are assume , the 3rd quarter will be closer to about $6,000. ) At this point. $28.000 is available in the contingency fund. Jean McGann will be at the meeting to answer any questions you may have. .' \ I Joint Andover City Council/Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - July 10, 1996 Page 2 J {Discussion 1997 Park Capital Improvement Budget, Continued} The Park Commissioners again noted the increased demand from residents to improve the parks. Funding is still needed to complete Kelsey-Round Lake Park~ to develop a trail system, to upgrade existing parks to meet safety and ADA standards, and to light the fields at Sunshine Community Park. They have worked with a $25,000 Capital Improvement Fund budget since 1989, and it doesn't go very far. After further discussion, the Council generally felt there is a need to increase the Capital Improvement Fund for parks. A figure of $60,000 for the 1997 budget was suggested; however, because the Council had not yet reviewed the proposed 1997 budget, it was understood that that may not be a firm figure. Park Commission Chairperson Lindahl stated they were not looking for a specific number at this time, but came to inform the Council of the increased demand from residents and to point out the funding needs. Park Commissioner Grabowski stated there has been discussion about having a park fee added to the building permit fees. Mayor McKelvey didn't believe that is legal at this time. (Mayor McKelvey left the meeting at 7:10 p.m.; Councilmember Jacobson served as Acting Mayor for the remainder of the joint meeting.) Mr. Starr stated the most requests are for a trail system. Acting Mayor Jacobson suggested the Commission look at the comprehensive trails map again, as he felt it is not feasible or desirable to have trails alon~ all of the major roadways in the City. Mr. Haas stated the Park Commission has established a Pathway Task Force that will review the needs and recommend a trail system. The concentration will be in the urban area, leaving the trails along the existing shoulders of county roads in the rural areas for now. .""" CONSIDER USING CONTINGENCY FUND FOR WATER USAGE AT SUNSHINE PARK .' Acting Mayor Jacobson expressed surprise at the high cost of watering the fields at Sunshine Park. He asked about the cost of installing a separate well just for that park. Commissioner O'Toole stated that was originally discussed and rejected by the Council. He recalled the cost would be about $20,000. At this time Acting Mayor Jacobson thought it may be more economical to install a well than to pay the cost of watering through the City's municipal system. He urged Staff to research the specific costs of installing a well, to determine the costs of watering through the municipal system, and to find the breakeven point. Park Commission Chairperson Lindahl also pointed out the concern with the municipal system is the water restrictions. There is thousands of dollars worth of sod on the fields that could be destroyed of not watered as needed. He felt the cost of a private well would hav2 to come out of Park Dedication funds. Joint Andover City council/Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - July 10, 1996 Page 3 (Discuss Using Contingency Fund for Water Usage at Sunshine Park, Con tinued) Acting Mayor Jacobson asked if it is legal to forgive the costs of watering the fields at Sunshine Park. Ms. McGann explained the water fund is supposed to be self-supporting, paid strictly by user fees. The General Fund is paid for from resident taxes and other feefl. By forgiving the fees for parks, the water fund would be contributing to parks; and she didn't know if there are sufficient funds to do that. She noted there is about $35,000 remaining in the Contingency Fund. After further discussion, Staff was directed to research the cost of installing a private well with the possibility of installing it yet this fall. While there was some support to pay for the costs already incurred for water usage at Sunshine Park from the Contingency Fund, no specific action was taken on the item. Acting Mayor Jacobson asked for a motion to adjourn the joint City Council/Park and Recreation Commission Meeting. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, to so move. Motion carried on a 3- Yes, 2-Absent (McKelvey, Kunza) vote. The meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m. j Respectfully submitted, ~~~ Recording Secretary j f" ~ Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - June 7, 1994 Page 7 (School District Request for Purchase of City Property, Continued) Other Council comments were to have a determination of the costs of extending the sewer line to serve the proposed middle school property, to negotiate terms for that sewer extension, and to discuss the other concerns ot the Council with the school district. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dalien, to authorize the Staff to sit down and discuss with the School Staff and relay our concerns to them and get a dialog going, and for Staff to report back to us of what they find out. Motion carried unanimously. AMEND ORDINANCE 55 AND RESOLUTION 092-92 Councilmember Jacobson questioned the enforceability of Item B in the resolution. Frank Stone, Public Works Superintendent, stated they do look for dripping faucets when making their inspections in houses. Councilmember Jacobson questioned Item D, deliberately allowing irrigation or sprinkling water to run into the street or drains. Mr. Stone stated the residents should be able to control the water run off so it is not wasted. Council agreed to the following change in Item H: "The Water Department / shall shut off water at the street following the third violation until such time as the property owner agrees to comply with the restrictions. (Last sentence to remain the same.) Item I: A suggested change was, "Additional curtailment of water usage in dry weather will be by order of the City Administrator. When restricted, no person..." There was some concern with this item, as all other items related to restrictions, and this item relates to prohibitions. Staff was asked to review the Item and make the necessary changes and clarifications. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, to adopt the Resolution with the changes (including Staff review of Item I). (See Resolution R109-94) Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, the Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 55 as presented (with the changes noted above) Motion carried unanimously. ~ CITY HALL PARK COMPLEX #2 IRRIGATION AND WATER RESOURCE DISCUSSION / .' IP93-7 / Mr. Davidson explained the City is required to establish a comprehensive review of their water system by 1995, including pumping rates, total amount of water used over an annual period, number of wells, storage available, etc. Even with Well #4 on the system, the pumping rates can't keep up with the demand on the system. With the appropriation for ~,:gUlar "... ~~nutes Page 8 fA ". Andover City Council Meeting - June 7, 1994 -:;; / (City Hall Park Complex #2 Irrigation/IP93-7, Continued) as few wells as possible, it is felt the City would not get permission to drill a well for irrigating athletic fields. He requested permission to work with Mr. Stone to obtain the background information on the water system now, which will be needed before asking for another well. One of the sugges~ions has been to create a well field around Well #4 to tie into Pumphouse #4, which could also eliminate water treatment in each pumphouse. They would prepare the documentation needed along with the conceptual plan of the well field and when the next well should be added to the system. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, the Council authorizes the use of the municipal water for the ball fields for the irrigation system (in City Hall park Complex #2) DISCUSSION: Mr. Haas stated the Park and Recreation Commission is looking at charging user fees to help pay for the use of the water for irrigation. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, that we direct Staff and the ~consulting engineers to prepare a feasibility report on adding a well c....,v. and exploring the concept of a well field, and report back to us ~ sometime in the near future. (See Resolution RllO-94) Motion carried unanimously. ACCEPT FEASIBILITY STUDY/IP94-9/FOX WOODS / Council noted the proposed plat is not zoned for urban residential development. Mr. Haas stated the developer is aware that there is no guarantee the property will be rezoned, but he wishes to proceed anyway. Attorney Hawkins stated the developer will sign the Development Contract to accept the assessments and waive any right to an appeal. The Council will have no obligation to rezone the property as a result of this action. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dalien, the Resolution (See Resolution Rlll-94 accepting feasibility study, waiving public hearing, ordering improvement and directing preparation of plans and specifications for improvement of Project 94-9) Motion carried unanimously. ACCEPT FEASIBILITY STUDY/IP94-6/HARTFIEL'S ESTATES AND IP94-7/SHARON'S 2ND ADDITION Mr. Haas noted a petition was received from Hartfiel's Estates about two months ago. Mr. Davidson stated the Hartfiel's owns about 13 lots in Hartfiel's Estates, and the discussion has been to assess the concrete curb and gutter and streets to those lots' on which this project is being imposed, and defer the assessments until they connect to the sewer and water. The lots owned by the Hartfiel's and those who want to connect immediately would be assessed for both the streets and utilities. Council asked that the amount of potential deferment be made available to them at the public hearing. / CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE AM~M~t :8, 1996 AGENDA t-.O. SECTION ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Non-Discussion ~41 APPROVED FOR AGENDA ITEM t-.O. Approve Ordinance Summary Ordinance No. 114 Establishing Buffer Strips and Standards for the Protection of Wetlands Jeff Johnson Planning ~ la. The City Council is asked to review and approve the attached ordinance summary of Ordinance No. 114, An Ordinance Establishing Buffer Strips and Standards for the Protection of Wetlands. The City Council approved the Ordinance at the July 16, 1996 meeting. The ordinance summary was tabled at the August 6,1996 meeting. Staff mistakenly placed language in the ordinance that would require all lots to maintain buffer strips until all landscaping (seed/sod establishment) was completed. The minutes at the July 16, 1996 meeting (see attached minutes) reflect that this language should not have been added to the ordinance or ordinance summary. Staff has revised the ordinance and the summary to reflect this change. In approving the summary, the Council must fmd that the publication of the title and summary would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. A four-fifths (4/5) vote is required to approve the summary for publication. , ) MOTION BY: SECOND BY: J CITY OF ANDOVER COUNTY OF ANOKA STATE OF MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 114 SUMMARY AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING BUFFER STRIPS AND STANDARDS FOR THE PROTECTION OF WETLANDS The City Council of the City of Andover does hereby ordain: STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION AND POLICY Statutory Authorization This ordinance (establishing buffer strips and standards for the protection of wetlands) is adopted pursuant to the authorization and policies contained in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 105, Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 - 6120.3900, and the planning and zoning enabling legislation in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462. Policy / The City finds it necessary to regulate the use of lands surrounding wetlands. Buffer strips (defined as a sixteen and one-half wide area abutting all wetlands that shall be left undisturbed or in its natural condition during the development, building and landscaping phases) are necessary and beneficial to maintaining the health of wetlands. These strips of land surrounding wetlands protect their shorelines from erosion, while serving to filter sediment, chemicals and other nutrients before storm water discharges into the wetland. Buffer strips are also beneficial in providing habitat for wildlife. All lots of record created thirty (30) days after the adoption of this ordinance shall establish and maintain buffers strips during the development and building phases. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS Jurisdiction The provisions ofthis ordinance shall apply to the City of Andover. Enforcement The City Administrator or its duly authorized employees shall be responsible for the administration and enforcement of this ordinance. / Interpretation I In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes. Abrogation and Greater Restrictions It is not intended by this ordinance to repeal, abrograte, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this ordinance shall prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent ofthe inconsistency only. A printed copy ofthis ordinance is available for inspection by any person during regular office hours ofthe City Clerk and at the Andover Branch ofthe Anoka County Library. / J Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 16, 1996 Page 11 :1 APPROVE WETLAND BUFFER ORDINANCE Mr. Carlberg explained the proposed ordinance will establish a 16.5-foot buffer strip to protect wetlands through development and building construction. Silt fences that are used to delineate the wetland boundaries will be moved out to protect that buffer strip. The fence will be left up until the landscaping is completed. The land owners then take over and can do what they want with the buffer strip. This ordinance does not impact the home owner. Jerry Windschitl, Ashford Development, noted under Section 7, it will be impossible to obtain a variance under Ordinance 8 because it is not practical to show a hardship variance. Staff should have the ability to look at this during the grading plan and decide as to whether or not a buffer area should be disturbed. There are cases where the buffer has to be disturbed for erosion control, grading or maintaining slopes, etc. Byron Westlund, Woodland Development, noted in Section 6, the word monuments is used, but there is no definition. Also, at a special meeting with the Council, the developers discussed the size limitations to which these regulations will apply. If there are smaller wetlands in the middle of a back yard, the buffer strip could virtually eliminate the yard. Once the property owner takes over, everything they tried to do could be eliminated. /) Winslow Holasek understood the protection is for wetlands, not storm water ponds. He didn't understand why storm water ponds are required since the wetlands are a natural filter of pollutants; yet now they must filter the water before it gets to the wetlands and put it directly int~ the ground water supply. It makes no sense to him. Mr. Carlberg felt it is difficult to set a minimum size to which the ordinance would apply. Each would have to be looked at separately, but he felt it would apply to wetlands of 1 to 2 acres or more in size. ~ MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, the Ordinance as presented with the following changes on Page 4: Section 6, 2, change measures) .

In 1996, the City entered into a contract with a company to perform these mowing services. The City is still responsible for billing and collection for the mowing services. Under the mowing contract we pay $105.00 per hour plus applicable sales tax for mowing services rendered. Ifthe company we contracted with is not available to perform the mowing services, the City is ultimately responsible to perform the service. . I In the past, the City charged fees for mowing based on the equipment utilized, manpower needed and administrative fees. City staff is requesting a flat fee of $150.00 per hour for all mowing services provided to residents.

I wanted to advise you that NorAm Energy Corp., which serves your area through one of our subsidiary companies, has received a proposal from Houston Industries Incorporated to acquire the stock of NorAm and merge our companies. Our Board of Directors has evaluated this proposal and unanimously voted to accept the offer and submit it to NorAm stockholders for approval. This was announced on Monday, August 12. Although I don't anticipate this consolidation of companies will affect, in any way, the service we are privileged to provide your community, I wanted you to have the details of this proposed merger. I have taken the liberty to enclose with this letter a copy of the press release announcing this event. I have also included fact sheets and other data for your information. The focal gas distribution companies, which are NorAm subsidiaries, will retain their separate identities and organizations. This combination offers excellent potential for enhancing customer service and for providing a wide range of new value-added service. The information I have included provides significant details on all aspects of this proposed consolidation. If you would like additional information, please contact our local representative. We will keep you informed of significant events as we proceed. Cordially, /J;;u ~P- encl. 1600 SMITH STREET . P.O. BOX 2628 . HOUSTON, TEXAS 77252-2628 .

Houston, August 12-Houston Industries Incorporated (NYSE: HOU) and NorAm Energy Corp. (NYSE: NAE) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement for Houston Industries to acquire NorAm Energy in a transaction valued at $3.8 billion (consisting of $1.4 billion of debt and preferred stock assumed by Houston Industries and $2.4 billion for common stock). The combined enterprise will have a total market capitalization of approximately $14.3 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both Houston Industries and NorAm Energy, Houston Industries will pay $16.00 for each NorAm common share outstanding, 50% of which will be paid in cash and 50% in Houston Industries common stock. After closing, four NorAm Board members will join the Houston Industries Board of Directors. The acquisition is subject to shareholder approval of both companies and various regulatory approvals. The proposed transaction combines NorAm Energy, the nation's third largest natural gas utility serving 2.7 million customers in six states, with Houston Industries, a holding company involved in the electric utility and unregulated energy businesses in the United States and in foreign markets. The corporate offices will remain in Houston, where both companies are currently headquartered, and Don Jordan will continue as Chairman and CEO of Houston Industries. Houston Industries' regulated subsidiary, Houston Lighting & Power Company, is the nation's ninth-largest electric utility in terms of kilowatt-hour sales. Its service territory includes the City of Houston and surrounding communities with a total of 1.5 million customers. HI Energy, Houston Industries' principal unregulated subsidiary, pursues foreign utility privatizations and the development of unregulated power generation projects, primarily in foreign markets. It has projects and interests in Argentina, Brazil, and India. 1 NorAm brings a growing, well-respected wholesale gas and electricity trading business, significant mid-stream gas assets in the form of interstate pipelines, gathering, and storage, and the nation's third largest gas distribution operation. One of its distribution divisions, Entex, serves metropolitan Houston, in addition to communities in Louisiana and Mississippi, and has approximately 600,000 customers in common with HL&P. NorAm also has a leading position in retail energy services and an emerging presence in Mexico and Latin America. The acquisition of NorAm Energy positions Houston Industries to be a national wholesale and retail energy services leader with extensive gas and electric capabilities. The combined entity will be well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of customers, offering innovative products and efficient service throughout a broad region of the country. "Market and regulatory forces are changing the industry landscape to a more competitive environment. In addition, the electricity and natural gas markets are converging, and customers are demanding additional products and services. This acquisition will substantially strengthen Houston Industries' strategic position given these rapid changes in the industry," said Don Jordan. "We see several strategic benefits to this acquisition," continued Jordan. "First, it combines Houston Industries' electric market knowledge with NorAm Energy's wholesale gas and electricity trading operations and skills, which will help propel the combined company forward in the converging wholesale energy markets. Second, it positions the combined company to provide the bundled gas and electric products and services customers are increasingly demanding. Third, it helps establish Houston Industries' broad national energy presence and offers the opportunity for improved efficiency across all of our operations. Fourth, it gives us access to 3.6 million customers, 2.1 million more than we had previously." Jordan added, "This combination presents exciting new opportunities for our employees as we enter the natural gas distribution and transmission businesses for the first time, expand into wholesale gas and electric marketing, and extend our international position." Milt Honea, Chairman, President, and CEO of NorAm Energy said, "This transaction is a natural fit that will benefit our shareholders, customers, and employees. Our companies have a shared vision, common geographical areas, and complementary skills and assets. Our shareholders benefit from the value created by the combination- the increased access to Houston Industries' experience and skills in the electric power industry, Houston Industries' financial strength, and our complementary international development interests. Our customers benefit from the combined company's enhanced ability to offer a broad array of products and services, particularly in electricity. Finally, the combination will provide greater opportunities for our employees as the combined company continues to expand its wholesale, retail, and international presence." 2 "The combination of HL&P and Entex under one owner offers excellent potential for enhancing local customer service and for providing a wide range of new value-added services," Jordan said. "At the same time, we intend to continue the efforts already underway to increase the opportunity to move gas from west to east across the Mid- Continent region where NorAm Gas Transmission and Mississippi River Transmission are strategically located." "Houston Industries plans to expand many of the retail services offered by NorAm Energy throughout its gas and electric distribution operations. NorAm has been a leader in developing new value-added services for residential and small business customers such as appliance repair and preventive maintenance contracts and home security system sales and monitoring, as well as services for other utilities and retail marketers. " In addition to serving more than 2.7 million households in six states through its Entex, Arkla/ and Minnegasco gas distribution divisions, NorAm Energy is a major natural gas pipeline and energy marketer, providing supply, gathering, storage, and transportation of natural gas and wholesale electric services through its NorAm Trading and Transportation Group (NTTG). NTTG includes NorAm Energy Services group (NES), a leading natural gas and electric wholesale trader. In the first six months of 1996, NES traded over 2.5 Bd per day of natural gas and almost 450 thousand MWh of electricity. NITG's interstate pipeline system consists of NorAm Gas Transmission and Mississippi River Transmission. In addition, NTTG operates gathering assets in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas through NorAm Field Services. NorAm Energy Management provides unregulated retail energy services to industrial and large commercial customers. Through NorAm Energy's wide-ranging gas activities, it handles over 5 Bd per day of natural gas. In addition to its corporate office in Houston, NorAm Energy has offices in Shreveport, Louisiana; Little Rock, Arkansas; Boulder, Colorado; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Minneapolis, Minnesota; St. Louis, Missouri; Williamsburg, Virginia; Midland, Michigan; and Miami, Florida. Subject to the approval process, the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 1997. 3 Selected Financial Data Year-end 1995 Houston Industries NorAm Energy Revenues 3,730 2,965 ($ Millions) Net income from 397 66 continuing operations ($ Millions) Total assets 11,820 3,666 ($ Millions) Earnings per share from 1.60 0.47 continuing operations (Dollars) Dividends per share 1.50 0.28 (Dollars) Average shares 248.3 123.9 outstanding (Millions) ### NorAm Energy Corp.
