2008 Cemetery Rates
From the very beginning of the 2008 budget process, it was apparent that there would be
significant pressures on the Public Works Department's general fund budgets. After generally
reviewing potential expenditure reductions and revenue sources throughout the department, staff
further reviewed cemetery rates.
. Oakland Cemetery has always maintained very high standards with regard to customer service,
maintenance of the cemetery, and has worked hard in recent years to expand the options
available to customers.
Much of this work has been made possible through use of perpetual care funds, through generous
donations from community members, and through expansion of the Cemetery's commemoration
activities.
Staff determined that it would be in the best interest of the Cemetery to increase fees to ensure
the Cemetery's high standards are able to be maintained into the future. Increased fees also
reduce the pressure put on other general funds used to support cemetery activities. With the
increased fees, as has been past practice, the General Fund will continue to support
approximately one full-time equivalent employee. In order to provide for these goals and offset
generally increasing costs, the average increase in Cemetery fees will be approximately 15%.
Attached is the fee schedule that is proposed beginning on November 16, 2007 - the beginning
of the Cemetery's winter season.
I will be available at the November 13 City Council meeting and will address any questions you
may have.

Subject
Blofllter Optimization Responsibilities
The purpose of this Memo is to discuss the responsibilities of the required optimization work
for the biofiltration system at the Hutchinson Water Treatment Plant. There are two major
issues to be addressed although there are three specific change requests from the
Contractor. The Owner has authorized the Contractor to complete the Work to allow the
timing of the changes to not be affected by the payment discussions.
DO Issues
Part 1 - Relocation of the Flow Control Valves:
IDI has verbally agreed to pay for half of the cost of moving the biofiltration flow control
valves from upstream of the filters to downstream. IDI presented this offer because the
system will function with moving only one valve and cost associated with moving both valves
is approximately twice the expense of moving a single valve. However, Earth Tech does not
believe the original design intent of the construction documents is being met by moving only
one valve. The design intent of automatically controlled dual flow paths is to enable to WTP
to continue to operate normally if one is disabled. Otherwise the plant will not be able to
produce water because the RO process stream is not permitted to discharge to the
distribution system without adequate blending. The methodology and history required to
manually operate the biofiltration process if the relocated control valve is out of service will
be lost as the Owner makes personnel changes over the service life of the facility. Earth
Tech's assessment is the manufacturer should be responsible for the cost of moving both
valves based on the requirements of the procurement contract. A design correction does
not warrant allowing a major change to the functionality of the Owner's facility.
Part 2 - Additional Air Relief Capacity:
IDI has verbally agreed to pay for all of the changes required to provide the additional
capacity. This included the additional valves. the interconnecting piping and drains, and the
installation labor.

Biofilter Optimization Responsibiiities .:l!o.\'!l'ifli
November 6, 2007 ~
Page 2
Filter Backwash Issue
Backwash Piping Routing:
We understand 101 currently feels they do not have any responsibility to help pay for the
creation of an additional flow path to allow a complete gravity drain of the filter vessels
during a backwash sequence. Earth Tech agrees the manufacturer has less reponsibiiity for
this portion of the optimization than the 00 changes. However, in an email dated October
27,2005 from Jim Kunka to George Bender, 101 stated in their review of EarthTech's
construction drawings they did not find any problems other than questioning why the air
piping was not shown. Earth Tech's assessment is basically a communication oversight
occurred between the manufacturer and the Engineer. Hence, some responsibility should
be allocated towards each party. This portion of the optimization does provide the Owner
multiple piping routes for the backwash waste to flow. The Owner will most likely desire to
use each of these routes during the life of the facility. The Work adds value and functionality
to the facility. The Owner should be responsible for that portion of this expense.
.
Conclusion
Earth Tech believes the manufacturer is responsible for the expenses associated with the
modifications required to optimize the 00 issues in the biofiitration process. Earth Tech
shares responsibility as described previously for the backwash waste flow routing
modifications, as should the Owner for the added value to their faciiity.
If 101 agrees to contribute the full value of the 00 modifications; Earth Tech proposes the
complete responsibility of the backwash routing changes be divided only between the
Engineer and the Owner. This offer is primarily presented because open communication is
viewed as a responsibility of all parties and as a means of resolving the cost responsibility of
these issues.

RE: Consideration of Activation of Deferred Assessments - SA5059E & SA5079C
DATE: November 13,2007
There are two parcels that have deferred assessments that require activation. The fust parcel is has a
deferred assessment that is in a senior citizen deferred status. This property has been sold and no
longer meets the guidelines for senior citizen and therefore should be activated.
The second parcel was deferred until hookup to city utilities. This parcel is the location of Home
State Bank presently under construction and has hooked up to city utilities and therefore should be
activated at this time.

City Council Members
City of Hutchinson
Dear Mayor Cook and City Council Members,
I am writing to ask for your support and approval of the annexation of the land and the
PUD application that will be presented at your meeting on November 13th.
.
As you know, HAHC has diligently pursued the relocation of the Burns Manor skilled
nursing facility and expansion of services for the senior population. We are
collaborating with Presbyterian Homes to create a campus at this location that will
include the 120-bed skilled nursing facility, a "Town Center," and residential
opportunities along a continuum that would include independent housing and
assisted living.
We are very excited to be taking this next step in our planning process. Staff from
Pope Architects and HAHC will be available on Tuesday evening. If you have any
questions before then, please do not hesitate to call me at 234-4753.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ci!w~~
President and CEO

City Council Memo
November 13, 2007
Page 2
Annexation Process
As there is no orderly annexation agreement in place with Hassan Valley Township, the
proposed annexation must be done by ordinance. Annexation by ordinance is allowed with
action by the City Council when property is owned by the City. No public hearing at the
Planning Commission is required. This annexation process does not require notice to
adjacent landowners or a comment period by the township. However, in order to provide
notice and an opportunity for public comment, adjacent property owners, the township, and
County have been notified by mail. A public hearing notice was also published in the
Hutchinson leader on November 1,2007.
After consideration by the Council, the annexation will be forwarded to Office of Administrative
Hearings/Municipal Boundary Adjustments for action. Upon annexation, the property is
automatically zoned to R-1 (Single Family Residential), as specified in the Zoning Ordinance.
Future rezoning requires action by the Planning Commission and City Council.
Proposed Development Plans
Hutchinson Area Health Care has hired an Architect to develop plans for the site and
completed a market study for the proposed senior housing project. Attached is a draft concept
plan for the first two phases of the development for the Council's information. The plans are
very preliminary and will likely be revised as the development moves forward. Development
of the site would likely occur in stages, with the first stage of development to be constructed in
2009. The timing of development would be consistent with the staging plan in the
Comprehensive Plan, which indicates development of the property between 2005 and 2010.
Staff reviewed the annexation proposal at the October 29th planning staff meeting. Staff
discussed that the property is adjacent to city limits and utilities are available north of the site in
the Southwind development, through Calgary lane SE. Staff discussed how street
maintenance would be handled as the annexation would be to the centerline of the street. As
both Jefferson Street and Co. Rd. 8 are County Roads, maintenance would continue to be the
responsibility of Mcleod County, as is the current practice. Additional staff review and
consideration by the Planning Commission will be conducted after application for rezoning,
platting, and other required approvals.
Representatives from HAHC and the Architect will be at the meeting with additional information
and to answer questions.
Requested Action:
Adoption of the proposed ordinance for annexation of 43 acres owned by the City of
Hutchinson, at the northwest comer of Jefferson Rd. S. and Co. Rd. 8.

Re: Rental Registration Ordinance
Date: October 17, 2007
As you may recall, earlier this year city staff was directed to draft a rental registration ordinance
that would provide for inspections of rental property in the City of Hutchinson to ensure that
basic life/safety features were present in each rental unit.
A group of city staff including Brad Emans, Dan Hatten, Rebecca Bowers, Jim Popp, Lenny
Rutledge, Jean Ward, Gary Plotz and me met several times to discuss and draft an ordinance that
we felt was right for the City of Hutchinson - trying to keep in mind the concerns of both tenants
and landlords. We looked at several ordinances that are already in place around the state and
tried to take the best from thern while coming up with quite a few of our own ideas.
. The ordinance itself would provide for an annual inspection of all rental housing units in the city
that are not already completely inspected by some other governmental agency. The inspections
would focus on only the most basic health and safety items under the various codes (working
smoke detectors, etc). The ordinance provides for re-inspections of units that do not comply
with the initial inspections. The City Administrator would have the ability to revoke or not
reneW rental registrations for non-compliance with the ordinance. Inspection fees, if any, would
be set by the Council as part of the annual city fee schedule established by the council each
January.
Earlier drafts of this ordinance provided penalties for nuisance activities occurring on rental
property such as drug use, assaultive behavior and the like. However it was the consensus of the
group to deal with those issues under a separate ordinance that I will draft.
The recommended action for the October 23'd meeting is to set the first reading and a public
hearing on the ordinance for the first council meeting in November.
Should you have questions regarding this proposed ordinance, staff will be available at the
meeting to address them.

The Registration Holder shall provide such interim housing until the registration for the unit is

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 7,2007
To: Hutchinson City Council
From: Miles R. Seppelt
. Economic Development Director
RE: Utility Service Extension to EDA-owned lot
The Hutchinson EDA is seeking City Council pennlssion to extend city water and
sanitary sewer to the industrial lot it owns located at 1020 5th Avenue SE (this is the
location of the future industrial spec building -located between the Cenex grain elevator
and the Charter School).
To obtain city services for their new facility, the Charter School will be excavating 5th
Avenue SE and tying into existing city water and sanitary sewer lines on the north side of
5th Avenue.
The Hutchinson EDA has an opportunity to partner with the charter school on this utility
extension, allowing the costs to be shared equally between the two.
. Significant cost savings will resu~.
. Only one cut will have to be made into 5th Avenue
Two sets of city services will be brought in, one for the charter school and one for the
EDAlot.
The EDA Board of Directors has reviewed this project and they are recommending
approval.
Project Cost:
$18,540
Source of funding: EDA operating budget
My assistant, Shan Ghimire, will be present at the City Council meeting to present the
request and answer any questions the Council may have.
Additional information can be obtained from Kent Exner, City Engineer.

Randy DeVries, WaterlWastewater Manager
RE: Consideration of Water Treatment Plant Engineering Services Agreement
Amendment with EarthTech
DATE: November 13, 2007
The new Water Treatment Plant has been operational and producing water since this spring, and City staff has
received many public conunents and multiple test results confIrming the much improved water quality. This
improved water has also been noted at the City's Wastewater Treatment Facility per signifIcantly reduced effluent
measurements for specifIc contaminants. Due to the relatively advanced tecimologies being used within our new
WTP, arriving at this point has required unbelievable effort from City staff and our project consultant, EarthTech,
As proposed within Change Order No.9 on the Council Consent Agenda., the project completion date has been
revised to account for the anticipated fmal completion date. The project contractor, Gridor Construction, is willing
to extend the construction timeframe to ensure that all remaining construction, operation and coordination issues are
addressed and resolved. TItis definitely shows a solid commitment to the project on Gridor's part.
The primary causes of the WTP construction timeframe being extended include the need to address unanticipated
conditions, improve operational simplicity and enhance overall effectiveness. This has necessitated that EarthTech
increase their administration and inspection efforts beyond the original project scope period of 18 months. As
further explained within the attached letter, EarthTech formally requests that the City consider an approval of
additional fees to address the revised project scope and timeframe in the amount of $208,400.00. The original
Engineering Services Agreement for the WTP construction is also attached.
Approval of this request would provide required services, including construction administration and part-time on-site
construction observation, based on major construction activities completed by February and fmal project close-out
occurring by May 15,2008. City staff definitely recognizes and appreciates the efforts of EarthTech to complete
necessary work to date and the remaining work needed to properly finish this project.
We recommend approving the Water Treatment Plant Engineering Services Agreement Amendment with
EartbTecb in tbe not-to-exceed amount of $208,400.00.

Subject: Project Status Review
Engineering Services Agreement Amendment
WTP Improvements
Earth Tech Project No. 92111
Dear Mr. Exner:
This letter provides an update on the status of the WTP Improvements project and also requests
an amendment to our engineering services agreement with the City. We are available to review
this infonnation at your convenience.
Project Status
.
While the WTP has provided quality drinking water to the distribution system for several months,
construction activities will also continue for several months. Earth Tech, Inc. (Earth Tech),
anticipates the completion of significant activities by late January or early February. Actual
project close-Qut may lag into the spring to address warranty issues and to ensure thai City staff
is comfortable with the overall operation of the facility.
From a technical standpoint, the WTP is doing everything it was designed to do, as evidenced by
recent correspondence from the Minnesota Department of Health regarding copper levels. City
staff also report improvements at the wastewater treatment facility with sign~icantly reduced
copper levels in the effluent and bio-solids. However, because of the unique nature of the
facility, the project is running longer than estimated, primarily to address unanticipated
conditions, improve operational simplicity and enhance overall effectiveness.
Several issues contributed to the increased time and cost associated with the project, including,
but not limited to:
1. Bio-filtration optimization.
2. SCADA system Dptimization.
3. SCADA system coordination with WWTF project.
4. Blending facilities adjustments.
5. Initial membrane fouling.
6. Maple Lake-Annandale lawsuit.
The last item affected the timing for permitting the proposed wetland treatment system. Since
the MCEA lawsuit was settled this past summer, MPCA has adjusted their policies regarding
new discharges and recently sent the City definitive correspondence on issues yet to be

addressed. City and Earth Tech efforts over the past year addressed many of these issues, the
findings and results of Which will be submitted to the MPCA with the fonnal response. The major
issues, from Earth Tech's perspective, include MPCA's policy on hardness and the potential
magnitude of wetland mitigation.
Engineering Services Agreement Amendment
As mentioned previously, construction of the WTP Improvements is taking longer than estimated.
The existing agreement between the City and Earth Tech was predicated on a construction
schedule of 18 months and no more than 3,120 hours of on-site construction observation. The
current construction schedule is no less than 24 months, which is a 33 percent increase in time.
Our on-site observation efforts will be 60 percent greater than was included in our current
agreement. Also, the O&M Manual was modified to an interactive fonnat, complete with digital
links for reference materials and record information. That additional cost is $10,000. The scope
oflhe current agreement has been attached for comparison purposes.
.
An amendment reflecting all of the additional effort reflected above would require a 25 percent to
30 percent increase to our existng agreement. However, we respectfully request an agreement
amendment in the amount of $208,400.00, which is a 19 percent increase over our existing
agreement. Approval of this request would provide required services, including Construction
Administration and part-time on-site Construction Observation, based on major construction
activities completed by eariy February and final project c1ose-out by May 15, 2008.
While the efforts associated with wetland permitting have been significantly greater than
originally anticipated, Earth Tech will also complete the wetland permitting process through a
decision by MPCA, or until the City decides not to pursue this alternative further. Detailed design
and bidding documents for the wetland treatment system are not included in this agreement,. and
weren't in previous agreements, since the outcome of the pennitting process is unknown.
While we understand that this request for an agreement amendment is significant, it represents
only a portion of the increased effort expended by Earth Tech to assist the City in bringing this
important project to fruition. We are available, at your convenience, to review this material.
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: Hutch & the Coalition
Mayor and Gary-
Thank you for the update. It is disappointing, but hopefully the council will pass it on the 13th.
I'm including some information on our successes:
. LGA - Attached is a graph that shows that Hutchinson received over $787,000 more in 2003-04 than
they would have under the governor's proposal. Almost anyone would tell you that this was a direct
result of the CGMC's lobbying effort. The graph also shows that Hutchinson received an additional
$333,000 in LGA in 2006 as a resull of CGMC's lobbying. We were the major force behind the
Marquart Amendment which resulted in $48 million in additional LGA funding.
. Economic development - The CGMC lobbied for creation of the Greater Minnesota Public
Infrastructure Grant program and a Greater Minnesota Redevelopment Grant Program in 2002. Both
programs passed in 2002 and were funded in 2003. Hutchinson was the recipient of a $145,000
redevelopment grant in 2006. The govemor and the metro cities have consistently lobbied to make the
redevelopment program available statewide and CGMC was able to keep the funds primarily dedicated
to greater MN. Since passage of the Greater Minnesota Public Infrastructure Grant program, $25.5M
has been awarded to greater Minnesola projects. The governor has consistently not included any
funding for the Infrastructure Grant program in his capital investment recommendations, yet the
program continued to be funded because of CGMC lobbying.
. Annexation - The CGMC passed major annexation reform in the early 1990's and has preserved
those changes against strong opposition from the townships for many years. We also expanded the
60 acre provision to 120 acres last session. Many greater Minnesota cities have used the laws CGMC
was able to get passed to annex land and save hundreds of thousands of dollars in contested case
costs.
. Environment - The coalition has been successful at stopping fee increases and unneeded
environmental mandates on cilies, saving cities millions of dollars.
. Transportation - I would note that there is really no other group that lobbies on transportation solely for
greater Minnesota. We were lhe only group advocating for the 4% dedication of MVST to greater
Minnesota transit last session. The governor's recommended 2% would have resulted in a decrease in
funding to greater Minnesota transit in the next biennium. We also had to lobby against all the metro
transit interests on this provision.
Chronologies of our issue areas are attached for your reference; they highlight some of the successes the
CGMC has had.

CGMC Environment Program
Chronology of Legislative Activities, 1994-2007
2007 Arbitrary Phosphorus Limit - Through an extensive lobbying effort by the CGMC, the implementation
of the MPCA's proposed 1mgIL phosphorus discharge limit was delayed until May 1, 2008. CGMC also
stopped an effort by several Senators to repeal the provision within the Clean Water Legacy Act (CWLA) that
allows cities in certain situations to off-set their nutrient discharges in order to avoid an economic development
moratorium.
2006 Clean Water Legacy Act (CWLA) - The CGMC supported the passage of the CWLA this session after
the Legislature modified the CWLA to address the CGMC's concerns. The CWLA was changed to include the
following CGMC priorities: I) Grant the MPCA authority to conduct nutrient off-sets. 2) Delay the
implementation of the new MPCA Phosphorus Rule until July I, 2007. 3) Prohibit environmental advocacy
groups from being able to prepare TMDL studies. 4) Offer cities grants rather than loans to fund compliance
with clean water mandates. 5) Remove unfair statewide water quality fees.
2005 Clean Water Legacy Act-The CGMC opposed the CWLA for three reasons; it offered loans to cities as
opposed to grants for funding TMDL development, it contained regressive fees instead of general fund dollars
for clean water activities, and it allowed third parties like the Sierra Club to develop a TMDL. The CGMC also
succeeded in securing $2 million in bonding money for a grant program for cities to upgrade their wastewater
facilities.
~ TMDL Process and Funding - The CGMC proposed legislation that would define the process used to
.velop TMDLs. The bill was tabled in the House. The CGMC successfully lobbied against a bill that would
allow private third parties to conduct TMDLs. Legislation was also included in the Senate environment budget
bill that provided assurances that TMDL procedural issues would be addressed during the next legislative
session, and language that required the governor to make recommendations for funding sources to adequately
fund TMDL implementation. Because the House and Senate did not reach a budget compromise, the CGMC's
TMDL language ultimately died.
2003 TMDL Regulations - The coalition obtains legislation to require the MPCA to do rulemaking to address
flaws in its water quality assessment (TMDL) regulations.
2002 Phosphorus Limit Legislation - CGMC successfully lobbies the Legislature to prevent action on a bill
that would have imposed an automatic, unfunded and unfounded I milligram per liter limit on all wastewater
discharges into rivers and streams.
2001 Rules Reform Legislation - CGMC supports rules reform legislation that, among other things, allows
petitions for administrative law judge (ALJ) review of internal agency policies, guidance manuals, and bulletins
that are being enforced by an agency as unadopted rules.
2001 TMDL Rulemaking Petition - CGMC successfully petitions the MPCA to modifY its water quality
assessment rules. These rules determine which water bodies are included on the 303( d) impaired waters list,
and therefore receive Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plans.
~ Wastewater Permitting Oversight - CGMC successfully lobbies for legislation requiring the MPCA to
provide notice to local government units and evaluate alternatives before issuing permits for new wastewater
treatment facilities, and requiring the MPCA to track the location and capacity of new facilities it permits.
Prepared by Flaherty & Hood, PA. for the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, August 2007
\lJU)
1999 Local Government Rules Petition - CGMC successfully lobbies for legislation allowing local units of
government to petition for the amendment or repeal of agency rules that are obsolete, unnecessary, or that may
be achieved through less costly or intrusive methods.
_998 Water Quality Standards Scoping Study - CGMC successfully lobbies for $50,000 in funding for the
MPCA to conduct a scoping study for developing a comprehensive cost-benefit model for the agency to use in
establishing water quality standards.
1998 WIF Modifications - CGMC successfully lobbies for changes to the Wastewater Infrastructure Funding
(WIF) program, to require WIF funding applicants to notifY surrounding local government units of the
application. This helps to promote intergovernmental cooperation, limit urban sprawl, and use WIF dollars
more efficiently.
1997 Water Quality Fee Increase - CGMC successfully lobbies against a proposed 52% increase in water
quality fees, which the MPCA had proposed to help fill a $1.9 million shortfall in the agency's point -source
program budget. Tbe money instead comes from the General Fund.
1997 Water Quality Standards Reform - CGMC sponsors a $30,000 scientific analysis of state water quality
standards. MPCA agrees with many of the recommendations, and agrees to go through rulemaking after
CGMC threatens to propose the recommendations as legislation.
1997 Wastewater Mandates Oversight - CGMC successfully lobbies for legislation requiring that MPCA
report to the Legislature on unfunded mandates and their impact on local taxpayers every two years. Tbe
MPCA also agrees to a legislative audit of its water quality program.
~ Blue Ribbon Task Force on Water Quality Funding - CGMC's success in 1995 results in no proposed
.e increases in 1996. CGMC also participates in the Blue-Ribbon Task Force on Water Quality Funding, which
in 1996 receives additional state funding to continue its work.
1995 Water Quality Fee Increase - CGMC successfully lobbies against a 6% increase in the total amount of
point source water quality fees that could be collected by the MPCA, and stops a proposal for MPCA to base its
fees on the volume of pollutants discharged.
1994 Environmental Issues Survey - In the Environment Committee's inaugural year, CGMC surveys its
members to determine their primary environmental regulatory concerns. CGMC advocates on the federal level
for more local government flexibility under the Clean Water Act, and lobbies on the state level to 1) limit
increases in water quality fees and 2) require the state to fund a portion ofthe capital cost oflocal government
compliance with new state environmental regulations.

For purposes of these guidelines, "electronic means" means email, instant messaging,
chatrooms, and related electronic conversation.
For purposes of these guidelines, "City Administrator" means the city clerk, manager,
administrator or his/her designee.
These guidelines apply regardless of whether the Council Member is using a city-
provided email address and account, his/her personal email address or account, or one
provided by his/her employer.
Meeting materials
Electronic communication of meeting materials should generally be conducted in a one-
way communication from the City Administrator to the council. .
. Council Members may receive agenda materials, background information, and
other meeting materials via email attachment or other electronic means (such as
file sharing) from the City Administrator.
. If a Council Member has questions or comments about materials received, s/he
should inquire via electronic means directly back to the City Administrator. A
Council Member should not copy other committee members on his/her inquiry.
. If the clarification is one of value to. other Council Members, the City
Administrator may send follow-up materials or information to the counciL
Materials relating to agenda items of a meeting must also be made available to the public
at the meeting.
Communication during council meetings
. Council Members will not communicate with one another via electronic means
during a public meeting.
. Council Members will not communicate with any member of city staff via
electronic means during a public meeting.

. Council Members will not communicate with the public via electronic means
during a public meeting.
Communication outside of Council meetings
. Council Members should generally act with caution when using electronic
means to communicate with one another, being mindful of the Minnesota Open
Meeting Law.
. If a Council Member wishes to share information with other members, slhe
should do so through the City Administrator. The Council Member may request
the City Administrator distribute materials to others. The communication should
not invite response to or discussion between any Council Members, including
replies to the person making the distribution request. This should be considered a
method for providing one"way information to other members of the Council.
Again remember that materials relating to agenda items for city business must be
provided to the public at the meeting.
. Council Members will not communicate with any member of city staff via
electronic means other than the City Administrator and then only in keeping with
these guidelines.
. If a Council Member wishes to address only one other member through
electronic means on any topic related to city business, s/he can do so directly, but
should be mindful of the following:
o The communication is to be one to one. Serial communications or
successive communications to other Council Members will not be used.
o The recipient of an electronic message or inquiry should reply only to
the sender, will not copy others on the reply and will not forward the
original email to other Council Members.
o The sender of an electronic message will not forward or copy the
recipient's reply to any other Council Member.
, If a Council Member receives an electronic communication from any source
related to city business and distributed to multiple Council Members (i.e., an
email sent to the entire council from a member of the public; or an email sent to
three Council Members from a local business), slhe will reply only to the sender.
The reply will not be copied to all on the original distribution or forwarded to any
other Council Member.
. If a Council Member receives listserv distributions, electronic newsletters, or
participates in electronic discussion forums where other Council Members are
also likely to participate (such as chat rooms), the Council Member will not reply
laCe.)

.
to any distribution or comment so that the reply is copied to the entire distribution
group, or any part of the group that might include other Council Members. The
Council Member will instead respond only to the sender of any message or
mqwry.
Classification and retention of electronic communications
. Regardless of whether electronic communication by a Council Member is taking
place on a city-provided computer, home computer or other computer system,
classification of information as public, private or other is governed by the
Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minn. Stat. Chapt. 13) and should be
treated accordingly.
. Council Members should retain electronic communications in keeping with city
policies and procedures, whether such communication takes place on a city-
provided computer, home computer or other computer system.

RE: Discussion of Property Acquisition for the NE Trunk Storm Sewer Phase 2 Project
DATE: November 13, 2007
City staff would like to discuss the necessary property acquisition for the NE Trunk Storm Sewer Phase 2 project.
The property owner's representatives will be providing an appraisal of the proposed property acquisition prior to the
Council meeting. City staffhad a comparable property analysis completed prior to the property owner initiating their
formal appraisal. Project and property information will be provided during the discussion.
We recommend scheduling a Closed Meeting to discuss the property acquisition for the NE Trunk Storm
Sewer Phase 2 project.
