PRESENTATION
4. Orono Police Department Annual Report
Police Chief Correy Farniok provided a brief overview of the activities of the police department in 2012.
Farniok noted this does not include the City of Mound since they were not on board until January of
2013.
As it relates to calls for service, in 2012,the total number of calls was 13,900,approximately 1,500 more
calls than in 2011. The police department saw a 20 percent increase in alarms,which has to do with a
number of individuals putting in security systems. The response time for each individual call was
approximately 5.5 minutes for priority one calls,which was reduced from 7.08 minutes in 2011. The total
priority one calls that the police department responded to was 4,500 and the remainder of the calls
consisted of traffic calls. The number of calls relating to each contract cities remained approximately the
same as in 2011.

7:00 o'clock p.m.
(4. Orono Police Department Annual Report, Continued)
Farniok indicated Part 1 crimes are the more serious crimes and are reported to the BCA,which shows
that this area is still a relatively safe community. Overall, burglaries were up as well as aggravated
assaults as compared to 2011. There was one aggravated assault in 2012, and due to the collaborative
effort of multiple police departments,the individual received 60 months in prison. Fifteen of the
burglaries in this area were linked to a single individual. The Cities of Minnetonka, Plymouth and
Wayzata were also targeted by the same individual. Individuals who commit this type of crime typically
will steal items and pawn them in order to purchase drugs. The police department is attempting to warn
people not to keep items in unlocked or locked vehicles or leaving their garage doors open.
Farniok noted extensive damage was done to Orono's squad cars as a result of an act of vandalism and the
investigation remains open at this time.
Life-saving awards were given to two residents in 2012 that had come across a serious accident and
pulled the individual safely from the vehicle. The other incident involved the rescue of a small child who
had fallen 40 feet out of a window.
The West Metro Drug Task Force executed 90 search warrants and made 75 arrests. They seized
333,190.6 grams of marijuana and 37 grams of cocaine. The amount of inethamphetamine seized was
182.66 grams. The total amount off drugs seized had a street value of$33 million and the cash seized
was approximately$65,000. The annual budget for the task force is $283,000, and$120,000 of the
forfeited funds was distributed back to the various departments.
Levang asked what type of firearms were seized and what the situation was with the seizures.
Farniok indicated the firearms varied between hand guns and long guns. If the police department can
show they are readily available near the location where the drugs are seized,the guns are also seized as
part of the drug arrests and destroyed.
Printup asked if the department has thought about utilizing technology to send out crime alerts to the
residents.
Farniok indicated they are working on developing a listserv and information regarding the listserv was
included in the last newsletter. The residents can contact the police office manager to be placed on that
listserv. The police deparhnent is trying to limit the number of e-mails that are sent out and only send
out e-mails on crimes that can affect the community or that are targeting certain communities. Farniok
stated the police department is also in the process a map implementing ping software showing where the
various crimes are taking place.
Anderson commended the police department for being involved in the Gillespie Center Community Dnzg
Task Force and that it is great for residents to have the opportunity to participate in those sessions.
Anderson indicated she was able to attend one of the meetings and learned yuite a bit in the breakout
sessions.
McMillan commented the transition appears to be going well with Mound.

5. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA)FUNDING REQUEST
Tom Lowe thanked the City Council for a change to share his opinions. Lowe noted that he attended the
meeting with the Navarre Initiative earlier this evening and that it is gratifying to see the level of
cooperation between the residents and the City, and that he is hopeful to get the same type of cooperation
on the milfoil campaign.
Lowe noted it has been a tough year for funding of milfoil treatment on Carman's Bay. The DNR has
reduced their contribution to the LMA and the LMCD will not be contributing at all this year. The LMA
feels this will be a temporary situation as we transition to a more permanent public/private funding
scenario. As a recent article in the Star Tribune brings to light,various methods of public funding of AIS
control and prevention are being considered by the legislature and are receiving much attention. These
options would provide far more public funding than is currently available from the DNR.
Orono has donated to this project in the past, and the LMA is recommending that Orono helps with a
donation this year,the LMA is not seeking to establish a permanent public funding obligation for the City
of Orono. The LMA would also agree with the City of Orono that an additional levy by the LMCD at this
time seems excessive. Due to the variability of the current public funding system, it's the opinion of the
LMA that the residents need help this year. The LMA feels that Orono needs to modify its policy
towards milfoil control, partner with the residents and be proactive in how public funding policy is
formulated.
Public funding of AIS control and prevention is currently being considered by the legislature. It is on the
radar. If Lake Minnetonka is used by the public more than any other lake in the state,why are the mayors
of the 14 cities bordering Lake Minnetonka and, more specifically,the City of Orono, not in some way
involved in this process with the legislature and updating them on what is going on in this lake. The
LMA would like to know if the mayors are communicating with the legislators and working to promote
public funding. That is what the LMA would like to see.
The LMA feels that Lake Minnetonka is the poster child for what happens when mechanical harvesting is
your primary control method for over 24 years. Not much has changed in those 24 years. Residents are
generally dissatisfied because mechanical harvesting is a messy, inefficient,time-consuming, antiquated
solution for milfoil control. Lake Minnetonka is the most heavily used lake in the state of Minnesota, and
according to research,that usage is 75 percent public,25 percent private. It is time for the 14 cities
bordering this lake to step up and advocate that the public take on more financial responsibility in the
management of what is a very public resource. Some cities already appear to be doing just that. The
LMA would suggest it is time for Orono to join them. The issue is not going to go away. The
documentation that the LMA has introduced via email clearly makes the case for the public funding of
milfoil control while Orono's previously stated case against public funding does not stand up to rational
scrutiny.

ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING '
Monday,April S,2013
7:00 o'clock p.m.
(S. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA) FUNDING REQUEST, Continued)
In 2013, seven of the ten cities involved in this project have already committed financial support for
herbicidal treatment of milfoil. Two of those cities have questioned the LMCD's extensive use of
mechanical harvesting as its primary control method.
The LMA suggests that Orono become proactive in yuestioning how their current$58,000 annual levy to
the LMCD is being spent. The LMA's documentation would suggest that due to its economic advantage
alone, herbicidal control should become LMCD's primary method of controlling milfoil. The LMA feels
that Orono and the other mayors may want to question how the LMCD budget is structured. In looking
over the LMCD's budget, it appears to be a very top heavy organization with a large percentage of their
annual $581,000 budget being spent on administration,yet only having three full-time employees. Lowe
questioned if Orono is opposed to raising the levy,the LMCD levy; why are they not first questioning the
existing levy and how it is being spent.
It is the LMA's opinion that it is time for Orono to more closely align their AIS control philosophy with
the facts,the science, and the sentiment of their constituents. The LMA would like to partner with the
City of Orono to advocate for the most effective economical method of milfoil control rather than
criticizing herbicidal milfoil control.
As the LMA noted in its documentation,Lowe indicated they find it very disheartening that after all of
their hard work over the past seven years that the City of Orono chose to criticize the herbicidal milfoil
treatment program despite the fact that the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was so impressed with
the treatment program that they awarded the 2012 Watershed Heroes Citizen Engagement Award to the
Lake Minnetonka Bay Captains who implemented the very program that Orono sought to criticize. Lowe
feels Orono also has the appearance of attempting to negatively affect the other mayors' assessment of
herbicidal milfoil control.
Lowe indicated at this point he would like to address two environmental issues that have been raised
concerning milfoil herbicidal control. When the LMA began this program,there was concern that they
would cause great harm to native species while controlling milfoil but the exact opposite has occurred.
Milfoil has been controlled while native species on Carman Bay have increased by 37 percent.
Conversely, mechanical harvesting can show no such benefit. Nothing changes as far as the plant species
makeup on the lake when you conduct mechanical harvesting. Natives continue to be crowded out by the
milfoil.
Lowe stated an additional environmental point that needs to be addressed is the City of Orono's statement
that somehow the LMA is creating a dangerous chemical footprint through the use of Triclopyr to treat
milfoil. The bay captains are no more interested in unnecessarily exposing their families and pets to an
herbicide than anyone else. Triclopyr degrades very rapidly in water to inert compounds with a
submerged half-life of only three to eight days, leaving zero chemical footprint after a passage of time.
The LMA has stated many times over the last seven years,Triclopyr is certified as safe for humans,
wildlife and the environment by the EPA and the DNR. According to the EPA,no herbicide may be
registered for aquatic use if it has more than one in a million chance of causing harmful effects to humans,
wildlife, or the environment. Triclopyr falls under that threshold.

Monday,April 8,2013
7:00 o'clock p.m.
(S. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA) FUNDING REQUEST, Continued)
Lowe pointed out that if the City is concerned about a chemical footprint, why would the City of Orono
use any road salt or sodium chloride on the roads during the winter. Lowe stated some of the chemicals
end up in the lake and are detectable there. The City of Orono has determined that the use of salt on our
roads is an acceptable trade-off for the safety it provides. If the Mayor and the Council have further
concerns about the use of Triclopyr on Lake Minnetonka,the LMA strongly suggests that you visit their
website at carmanbav.or�and look at the documents posted there or the Council can ask additional
questions tonight.
Lowe stated in light of his comments here this evening and the reason it has been presented via email,the
LMA would respectfully ask the City of Orono to show their support by making a financial contribution
to this year's herbicidal treatment and in the future,partner with the lakeshore residents and other Lake
Minnetonka mayors to advocate for herbicidal control of milfoil and more public funding for that control.
Lowe stated the folder on his computer concerning Carman Bay now contains over 800 files and that he
feels he and the dedicated volunteers from Carman Bay and some of the other bays that are being treated
are some of the most informed individuals in the Twin Cities when it comes to AIS control. Volunteers
from Carman Bay are here to answer the Council's questions and the LMA welcomes an open discussion
on the merits of our view point.
Bremer asked what cities are not publicly supporting the LMA.
Lowe stated the City of Orono is one.
Osgood stated the other two cities are Wayzata and Minnetonka and they have declined to invite the bay
captains to make a request.
Lowe indicated Minnetonka has always had a big problem with the LMCD due to its huge levy and a very
small amount of lakeshore.
McMillan asked if Gray's Bay will be treated in 2013.
Osgood indicated it probably will be treated at a very low level. Gray's Bay was treated last year and the
treatment has been lasting pretty reliably at least two seasons. The scope of the treatments will depend on
the early season delineation,which cannot occur until the ice is gone and it may scope out some spot
areas that require treatment.
McMillan noted the City Council's job is to be fair to all of the Orono taxpayers. McMillan asked how
the City Council should say to the Orono taxpayers who do not live on Carman Bay and the ones who do
not live on Lake Minnetonka why they should subsidize a private funding source for herbicide treatment.
McMillan indicated Carman's Bay can be mechanically harvested for the same cost and Orono would not
have to pay anything more. The private funding is also a tax donation for those citizens. McMillan
requested that Lowe explain how the Council can rationalize it to the other Orono citizens.
Lowe noted the LMCD has already determined that Lake Minnetonka is 75 percent public use and not a
private use. The harvesting of Carman Bay would cover about 10 to 15 acres and the herbicide treatment
would cover 90 acres. The milfoil harvesting also does not cover the middle of the bay.

McMillan noted they do the areas that are matted.
Lowe stated the LMCD's program for harvesting is for navigation and not for recreation. The LMCD is
not going to harvest in the center of the bay where people boat or canoe. The LMCD harvests along the
shoreline. Lowe commented the amount of harvesting done on Carman Bay would be less than a quarter
of the bay.
Osgood stated the LMCD harvesting program harvests,plus or minus,250 to 300 acres per year in the
whole lake, so it is unlikely they would dedicate a third of that to one bay. As it was pointed out,the
objective of the harvesting program is to facilitate navigation to the open water of the lake or bay.
Lowe noted the LMCD's charter says nothing about harvesting for the recreational use of the bay and is
simply for navigation. As far as public financing the DNR is using public financing for all of their grants
that are going out throughout the state. They have determined that treating milfoil is a public resource.
McMillan noted the DNR also provides for the harvesting.
Lowe noted he does not use Baker Park but that he pays for it. A lake is a public resource. Herbicide
treatment is highly regulated since it is considered public property.
Mary Tucker noted Big Island is difficult to get to due to the milfoil.
McMillan noted Big Island is a permanent resource.
Lowe indicated it is not accessible by anything but boat. Lowe asked what the difference is.
McMillan indicated it is an island park.
Lowe stated their bay is accessible by boat just as Big Island.
McMillan stated buying that piece of land is a permanent resource and has always been in the City's
comprehensive plan to be a park if and when the veterans decided that they no longer wanted to maintain
it. The purchase of the park was not a spontaneous decision by the Council to go in that direction. Big
Island is also a resource for the whole lake community as well.
McMillan indicated she does not want to pit this particular maintenance situation to something as
permanent as Big Island Park and that she does not want to spend time discussing that tonight. The whole
decision to purchase the land was to create a park, but it also allowed the veterans to sell their property
and have access to it. In addition to creating a 57-acre park,the veterans have public access to it and the
funds were placed into trust from which they gain income. Orono's citizens have been very,very
generous to the lake community and also to the veterans by providing an income stream for future
projects in the state. McMillan stated Big Island is a separate item.
Lowe stated Orono is in the minority when they call a lake a private resource and that Carman Bay is a
public resource.

McMillan stated she said private funding source.
Lowe stated what the Mayor asked was,how do I tell Orono residents that they are paying for milfoil
treatment.
McMillan stated her comment related to contributing to what is more of a private funding program. The
herbicide program was a 5-year pilot program which has now been completed,which is why 2013 is
different.
Levang commented that there seems to be some sort of indication in one of the e-mails that Mr. Lowe or
someone from the LMA does not think the Council was paying attention or is not interested. One of the
comments was who on the Council has even been out to look at Carman's Bay. Levang stated she takes a
little bit of issue with that since she was just recently elected in January and that she had no opportunity
between January and now to visit Carman Bay. Levang stated the LMA has her absolute promise to go
out on Carman's Bay and look at it.
Levang indicated she did appreciate the pictures that were sent,but that she has an issue with him
intimidating that the Council does not care or made no effort.
Lowe commented if any of the Council Members have not already been there,the year 2008 is when they
should have been there.
Levang noted she was not a council member back then,does not live on the lake, and has limited access
to the lake. Levang stated she wants to make it clear that she will make that effort and that, in her view;
everyone on the Council will also make that effort. Levang noted she did read through every document
on their website but that Mr. Lowe should not assume the Council does not care because they certainly do
care.
Lowe stated he did not mean to intimidate that. Lowe noted this has been a long process and that this is
not the first time the LMA has had to ask for funding.
Levang indicated she can understand that,but that the Council is listening and that they are interested in
hearing from him and others.
McMillan stated Orono did not use the words dangerous chemical footprint but that they used the words
chemical footprint. McMillan noted someone cannot irrigate for a period of time after chemicals are
applied to their lawn and that herbicides do leave a chemical footprint for some period of time. McMillan
stated she does not want to get into picking apart everything in the CiTy's letter and Mr. Osgood's letter
tonight and that she would encourage Mr. Lowe to be careful about the words he uses.
Lowe indicated that was the implication.
McMillan stated that is his implication and not what the letter said. McMillan encouraged Mr. Lowe to
be careful with the words he chooses to use.
Lowe asked at what point does the Council consider its obligation to represent its constituents.

(S. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA) FUNDING REQUEST, Continued)
McMillan commented the Council spent an hour discussing that letter and that they obtained the input
from Gabriel Jabbour,who is on the state AIS task force, and Andrew McDermott,who is the City's
representative to the LMCD. McMillan noted she personally has spent six years on the LMCD, eight
plus years on Save the Lake, and supported the pilot program. McMillan commented she does not want
to sit here and brag about that, but noted there has been a lot of effort and time spent by a number of
people. A number of Orono citizens have put in a lot of effort toward preserving the lake and that she
gets a little upset when that is diminished and has the view that the Council is making a fly-by-night
decision. The Council and Orono residents have spent a lot of time helping out the lake community in
many different ways.
Lowe stated they are asking for the City's help right now. Lowe stated his tone tonight was based on the
letter sent by the City of Orono and some of what the LMA felt were inaccurate statements. Lowe
indicated he is sorry if his tone offended the Council but that it was in response to the City's letter.
McMillan stated in all fairness,Mr. Osgood should have made a disclaimer in the letter that he has a
financial interest in how many chemicals are used in the lake since he receives a percentage from that.
McMillan stated it may not legally be required to be disclosed, but as a matter of integrity, something like
that should have been put in that letter.
Bremer commented she does live on the lake and that she used to live not too far from Carman's Bay
back in 2008. Bremer indicated she did look at a house on Carman's Bay but did not purchase it due to
the quality of the water.
Bremer stated being a nonscientist, she can appreciate the fact that there is conflicting data, and that the
Council has received some conflicting data from people who feel the complete opposite of what Mr.
Lowe feels. Bremer stated with all due respect, if AIS was as easy as herbicidal treatment, everyone
would be doing it and all the experts would be saying it is a wonderful thing to do. Bremer noted the
Council has heard different reports regarding the chemical treatments and how one year it is doing well
and the next year it is not. The Council and everyone should be mindful of the conflicting data.
Bremer stated as a lay person driving a boat, Carman's Bay does look better and cleaner and you are now
able to see the native plants. What the Council attempts to do is to take everything that the LMA is
saying and everything that others are saying and then base their decisions on all the information available.
Bremer stated Mr. Lowe has to realize the Council cannot just take one opinion.
Lowe asked what group that was.
Bremer indicated it is various individuals. For people who do not live on Carman's Bay,they may
question why it is fair to support just Carman's Bay because they may live on a different bay. Bremer
noted she just learned recently that her bay is one of those bays that does not have milfoil but the water
quality is not clear. Bremer commented there are lots of reasons why the residents of other bays could
organize and then approach the City requesting money. Bremer indicated she is not saying that is what is
happening, but that it is part of what the Council has to guard against.
Bremer stated the Council is very determined and watches how the City spends every dollar,just as they
do with the LMCD. Bremer stated the City does not just give the LMCD money every time they ask.

(S. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA) FUNDING REQUEST, Continued)
Lowe stated the LMA is requesting the City ask the LMCD to spend more money on herbicide control.
Lowe noted the LMCD is now promoting herbicidal control and they want to levy the city in order to do
that. Lowe stated the LMCD wants to take public dollars to treat milfoil with herbicides.
McMillan noted the LMCD just approved a management plan, and in that management plan is the abiliTy
to use chemicals on eight bays. Mechanical harvesting was also approved as part of that plan. The
chemicals that were approved in the draft plan are for specific areas and not the entire lake. McMillan
indicated the plan was an outgrowth of the pilot program that found there were only certain bays on Lake
Minnetonka where herbicides will work in. The chemicals will disperse on the open bays and are not
effective to use in all lakes due to the currents. McMillan noted the LMCD did not approve any particular
funding source for the herbicide treatment or mechanical harvesting and that the funding will come out of
the general budget.
Bremer pointed out there are also certain bays where herbicide treatment is not needed.
Lowe commented the LMCD came to the conclusion that herbicide treatment is worthwhile as a result of
the 5-year pilot program,which was 60 percent privately funded.
Bremer asked what the LMA's monetary request is.
Lowe noted in 2010 the City donated $3,000. Lowe commented since the pilot program was so
successful at eliminating milfoil, a number of people have forgotten what it was like in 2007 and 2008
and that it has been difficult raising the necessary funds this year because of that. People get complacent
and think it is not that bad. The resurgence of natives has become a real issue for some of the residents,
but they do not want to donate as much because they need to do their own nuisance treatment around their
docks. Lowe reiterated it has been hard for the LMA to raise money this year.
McMillan stated if the Council would like to explore a funding request; it would need to be placed on a
future Council agenda.
Bremer asked if the LMA is interested in the same amount as in 2010 or what the specific request is.
Lowe stated the LMA would like $5,000. Lowe noted the LMCD typically gives them $8,000 every year
and last year they received $18,000 from the DNR. However,the DNR has cut back on their contribution
twice. Lowe indicated this year has been a bad year for raising funds.
Anderson commented public funding is difficult for everyone given the economy.
McMillan asked if the City Council is in favor of exploring this request.
Bremer indicated she would be fine with exploring it if it is placed on the agenda with a specific dollar
request. Bremer stated placing it on the agenda cannot guarantee anyone else will show up but that it
would allow other people to appear.

(S. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA) FUNDING REQUEST, Continued)
Bill Cook, 3251 Casco Circle, stated the lake is a public resource and the residents who are immediately
impacted are contributing to it. This is not something where it is just people coming to the government
asking for money because there is both private and public investment and it is for the public good. The
herbicide treatment has been proven to be cost effective for the area that has been treated, which is not the
entire lake. The chemical treatment on Carman's Bay did work and it is a good use of public funds.
Mary Drazan,3546 Ivy Place, stated she is a little concerned about the tone of things right now. There
has been a lot of work done. Drazan stated the other thing the LMA is asking the Council for is influence
with the LMCD. Currently the LMCD is asking for additional funds for the herbicide treatment and
Orono already contributes a chunk of money to their budget,which does not appear to be an option.
Drazan stated if there is any way that the City could influence the LMCD that would also be something
the LMA would be looking for. If the City cannot find funding for Carman's Bay, perhaps they could
provide leverage with the LMCD to say that more funding should be put into the herbicide treatment.
McMillan asked if that would be for 2014.
Drazan indicated that would be correct.
McMillan indicated she is not in favor of contributing money toward this, and if the Council is interested
in exploring it, she would recommend direction be given to Staff.
Levang indicated she is not in favor of exploring it further.
Anderson stated in February the City Council gave the LMCD preriy clear direction on how they felt and
that this is inconsistent with the message that was delivered at that time with regard to the herbicide
treatment philosophically. Anderson stated the City Council at that time indicated philosophically they
do not really support herbicide treatment.
McMillan stated as it relates to the road salt,the City does mix it with sand. McMillan stated Lowe
brought up a good point about the road salt and that Orono is doing its best to limit its use. A person
could look at the salt in the same way as chemicals and plowing is a lot like mechanical harvesting. The
City does not want to plow if they put salt down and that it becomes a management issue.
Lowe noted the roads are publicly funded.
McMillan noted there is a public safety issue involved as well.
Printup stated he personally tends to stay away from environmentalism and chemicals. The City is
constantly being asked to raise levies,ta�ces and fees, and this is just another approach. Later on in the
agenda the Council is going to be discussing legislation on how to maintain roads. As it relates to the
fairness part of it, Carman's Bay is one bay and next week the residents on another bay could approach
the City asking for money. The City has to constantly keep an eye on spending. Printup commented the
fundraising that has been done in the past is great but that the City should not become involved
financially.
Mary Tucker stated seven out of ten cities say we need to have our radar on AIS, including milfoil.
Orono needs to have this on their radar since a lot more is coming down the pike.

Anderson stated the Watershed District has told the City they are not even really looking at milfoil as a
big issue. Since there are so many other things coming down the pike, it would be difficult to commit
funds and raise the levy for something when it is not a permanent solution.
Tucker noted seven cities out of ten have already said yes to the herbicide treatment.
McMillan stated the Watershed District has decided to be more in the prevention business of AIS.
McMillan pointed out milfoil has been around since 1987 and that an Orono resident donated the
harvesting equipment to the LMCD and another former council member contributed a lot and stepped up
to the plate when milfoil first appeared. Orono has been at the forefront of dealing with the milfoil. The
residents have lived with milfoil for a long term and now there are zebra mussels and other aquatic
invasive species.
McMillan commented there has been some talk in the past that we could eradicate milfoil through
chemical treatments,which was irresponsible because it gave the wrong impression that it would be
eradicated through a couple of treatments. Herbicide treatment has never been done on the scale of the
size of Lake Minnetonka.
Lowe noted the LMA has never taken that stance.
McMillan stated they have a solution that works for eight bays and that the issue with the chemicals is
that there are other bigger costs associated with it.
Mary Tucker noted seven cities have gotten behind them already. Tucker asked at what point does the
Council do what their constituents want regarding milfoil.
McMillan noted she represents all the citizens of Orono and not just the residents of Carman's Bay and
that the Council has to determine the best way to use taxpayer dollars.
Lower noted herbicide treatment is half the cost as harvesting.
McMillan stated the whole harvesting program is$60,000 a year, which does not include the DNR.
Lowe noted they only do one quarter of the lake with the harvesting.
McMillan stated she does not want to spend any more time on this tonight.
Levang stated as it relates to Council Member Printup's point,the Council is being asked constantly to
pay for things and the City has a commitment to a flat levy, which affects every citizen. The Council's job
is to manage those scarce resources and make the best decisions they can. The Council does represent all
of the citizens and we take that job mighty seriously. Levang commented the City Council is listening to
them and to others. While the LMA may think this is a small amount of money,the City Council has a
number of other issues on the plate that have to be balanced.

(S. LAKE MINNETONKA ASSOCIATION(LMA) FUNDING REQUEST, Continued)
Levang stated she is sorry to say that she cannot support what they are asking of the Council. Levang
stated she has to carry what everyone is asking her to do, and what the LMA is presenting is one small
issue amongst many issues in the City that have to be addressed.
Lowe indicated he completely understands that, but that it has gotten to the point where the LMA has a
concern about the philosophy being taken by the Council. The LMCD dollars that are being used to
mechanically harvest the lake are public dollars even though there are people who do not use the lake.
Lowe stated those types of issues happen all the time.
Bremer moved,Printup seconded,to allow further discussion on the funding request to take place
at a future Council meeting,which will provide others who have an interest in this topic to speak as
well,and to consider the request for funds. VOTE: Ayes 1,Nays 4,McMillan,Printup,Anderson

LMCD REPORT—ANDREW MCDERMOTT,REPRESENTATIVE
Andrew McDermott reported the LMCD is waiting for the ice to go out on the lake. They do not have a
new lake level reading yet but the LMCD is assuming it will be lower than normal. The snow melt has
filled a lot of the wetlands but has not really raised the level of the lake.
The LMCD has proposed to streamline their dock extension application process. Any resident who had
permission to extend their dock last year will automatically be granted an extension this year. New
applications will be able to go through a new streamlined process. McDermott noted last year was the
first time in years that Lake Minnetonka has had low water levels.
In addition,the LMCD did pass the lake-wide comprehensive aquatic management plan and they will be
discussing it during the budgeting process,which will be started in a couple of weeks for 2014.
McDermott reported there have been very few applications over the winter. Maxwell Bay is going to
reconfigure some of their dockage and the LMCD has approved that with no additional storage units.
Anderson asked about the exceptionally long dock located on Minnetonka Beach.
McDermott indicated the LMCD has discussed that and they will be looking into that further. Apparently
there is a ridge there, and in order to get out to three feet of water or more,they need to go out that far in
the spring. When the water levels go up,the LMCD does not require that the docks be brought back in.
The LMCD had originally thought it would be a one year issue but they are assuming at this point that
2013 will have low water levels as well. The LMCD will be taking a closer look at that to see if they can
get to three or four feet of depth without extending the dock that far.
Anderson commented it could also be a hazard as well.
McDermott stated there has been discussion about whether lights should be installed on the dock.
McMillan thanked Andrew McDermott for all the work he does on behalf of the City with the LMCD.

McDermott noted the Council is also invited to attend the budget discussions. Dock inspections have
been one of the big priorities as well as inspections relating to the prevention of aquatic invasive species.
The LMCD budget has to be approved by July.
McMillan noted the LMCD's budget has remained fairly steady over the past few years.
McDermott stated essentially this year's budget will be a zero percent increase.
PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS—KEVIN LANDGRAVER,REPRESNTATIVE
Kevin Landgraver reported the Planning Commission did have a productive work session last week and
determined priorities for the coming year. At the May Planning Commission meeting there will be a
further accessory structure review.
Landgraver noted the City Council will be discussing the golf course tonight. While it is probably not
how the Planning Commission would have drawn it up on a blueprint,they feel the solution being
proposed is the only solution available.

7. #12-3585 SPRING HILL GOLF COURSE—725 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH—CUP AND
WETLAND MAP AMENDMENT—RESOLUTION NO. 6213 AND ORDINANCE NO. 102
Curtis stated the Spring Hill Golf Club has requested approval from the MCWD and the City to fill
portions of a wetland on the 13`h fairway on the 1050 Tamarack Drive portion of the property. The
applicant indicates the fill is proposed in two locations of the wetland in order to improve playability and
address safety concerns.
The applicant has requested a conditional use permit from the City of Orono for wetland alteration in
order to conduct the alterations. It is also necessary to re-zone the portions of the wetland to be filled and
amend the City's official Wetland Map so the filled areas are no longer subject to the standards of the
Wetland Overlay District according to City Code Section 78-1609. The wetland mitigation will be at a
2:1 ratio and will consist of banked credits off-site as recommended by the Technical Evaluation Panel
(TEP)during the Sequencing review process.
On March 28`�' the MCWD Board reviewed the applicant's request and granted a conditional approval.
The Notice of Decision is attached as Exhibit D.
On March 18`"the Planning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval of the application.
The wetland to be impacted, as reported, is degraded with low quality function and value, and contains
invasive vegetation. On-site mitigation would likely result in a similar low quality wetland as currently
exists. Allowing the applicant to conduct the wetland filling activity results in the creation of a new,
higher quality wetland mitigation as the proposed off-site mitigation wetlands provide a gain in wetland
function and value. Planning Staff recommends approval of the wetland alteration permit(CUP)and the
amendment to the Wetland Overlay District Map(i.e.rezoning)to remove the filled areas from the
Wetland Overlay District.
Staff recommends approval of the application. The applicant should provide the City with the digital
wetland boundary(post-fill)in Hennepin County coordinates to finalize the rezoning. Submittal of

MCWD permits indicating approval of the project should be required for the administrative land
alteration permit(Zoning Permit)to be issued by the City as well.
Curtis illustrated the layout of the wetland and noted there is a bio area where some dirt will be removed.
Staff feels it will provide some of the necessary storage on site as well since the area will be seeded with
wetland buffer vegetation.
The Council should adopt or amend the attached draft Ordinance for the rezoning and the draft approval
Resolution for the wetland filling activity. Staff is recommending approval of the application.
Levang asked where the offsite location is.
Curtis indicated to her understanding it will be located in Hennepin County.
Tim Johnson,Applicant, indicated it is approximately 11 miles north of the golf course,which is the
closest that could be found.
McMillan commented this appears to be a good solution. McMillan noted on Page 2, Paragraph 4,there
is a typographical error and that the public hearing was held on March 18, 2013.
Curtis indicated the date has been corrected in the Mayor's signature packet.
Tim Johnson noted as it relates to the signature page, Page 4 of 4, it states the work must be commenced
within one year of approval of the conditional use permit. The golf course is required to do some
monitoring of the wetland mitigation that was done back in 1997, and that work cannot be done until the
weather warms up. Currently the MCWD does not have a roadmap for us to follow as it relates to the
work.
Johnson stated his concern is that if that work is not done until July, it would be difficult to get this work
done before the winter. Johnson asked whether it would be appropriate to grant a two year time period
rather than one year. Johnson stated they could do the work in the winter but then they would not have
cover in the winter and there could potentially be erosion issues. The goal is to do the work in August
and have seed on the ground prior to winter, but if the Watershed District is not able to approve it until
later in the year, it will be difficult to do that.
Printup, Levang and Anderson indicated they do not have a problem with that request.
Printup moved,Anderson seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6213,a Resolution Granting a
Conditional Use Permit Granting a Conditional Use Permit for Wetland Alteration Pursuant to
Orono Municipal Code Section 78-1609,with Page 4 of 4 being amended to allow a two-year time

10. STREET IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT—LETTER OF SUPPORT
Struve stated there is current legislation that is moving through the Minnesota Legislature which would
allow cities such as Orono to establish street improvement districts. Essentially this would allow cities to
collect fees from property owners within those districts to pay for street projects and/or maintenance.
Staff feels this would give the current and future Councils opporlunities for potential funding sources to
fund some of these projects, and Staff would ask for a letter of support to be sent to the local legislators.
McMillan noted she recently attended the monthly mayors meeting and that the League of Minnesota
Cities and Metro Cities were in attendance to provide an update on this issue. The League of Minnesota
Cities has been lobbying for 12 years in an attempt to get this bill through. The legislation has been pared
down slightly in the last couple of weeks in the sense that this would only now apply to seal coating, mill
and overlay or reclamation. The bill as it is now will not be for reconstruction projects and more for
maintenance.
Mattick stated his office has been asked to look and comment on the proposed legislation and that was
one of the concessions made. When a reconstruction project is done or maintenance is completed, certain
expenses are associated with that and many cities use special assessments to help offset the costs. Since it
is difficult to prove that that property receives those specific benefits,this legislation would take those
projects out of the special assessment process but would still allow the city to receive money from the
properties that are receiving benefit from the project.
Printup asked if any discussion was had as to whether these fees would be tax deductible.
Mattick stated they typically are not but that it was not specifically discussed. Technically an assessment
is not something you should be able to deduct. Mattick noted this would not be a tax but would be a fee.
Printup noted one of the talking points says it could be deducted.
Mattick stated if it is treated like a tax, it could be deducted, but that a fee could not be deducted.
Levang noted the City is looking at being flexible going into the future. Levang noted the City has not
made a formal decision to do this if the legislation is passed.
Loftus stated it would simply be a tool to use and not a commitment by the Council to use this.

(10. STREET IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT—LETTER OF SUPPORT, Continued)
McMillan noted there are lake improvement districts already on the books.
Bremer commented there are also sidewalk districts.
Printup stated his concern with it is that the City is setting themselves up on this path and that the City
should have a discussion on what they want to do with special fees or assessments. Printup stated in his
view one of the duties of the City is to take care of the roads,which is already included in the overall city
levy. Printup stated the additional fee is his primary concern.
Printup indicated he does understand if the legislation does go through,the City can establish its own
parameters, but that he is totally uncomfortable with it since the citizens are already paying taxes,which
should cover it.
Bremer stated the point is fairness and noted that the City Council struggled with this issue relating to
Casco Point. The City at that time went through an analysis of the special assessment realizing that others
would have no interest in the new road but yet would end up paying for it.
Bremer stated as it relates to the question of whether it increased the value of the property, it probably
did, but the City made a decision not to do a special assessment and to spread the costs over all the
residents. Bremer stated this legislation allows the City to use this tool only for the location that is
benefitting from the work and that whether this Council or a future council makes a decision to do it or
not to do it, it would require the next step of creating the districts. Bremer noted they are not making a
philosophical decision at this time that the City is going to do it.
McMillan stated the City has to look at getting back to assessments and discussing that. A number of
cities currently use special assessments but Orono does not. Orono does have a fair amount of private
roads and those people are saying that they are paying for everything. If this gets approved,this is a tool
and opportunity that the City could decide to use and that further discussion should be had on this topic.
McMillan stated to her recollection 40 cities have indicated they are in support of the legislation.
McMillan noted there would be a public process for the residents to be involved in if the City decided to
explore this further.
Printup stated he would encourage the Council to maybe explore other options and perhaps look at certain
restrictions being included in the bill, such as a sunset provision for a district to ensure that the work is
completed within a certain time period. Printup indicated he has a concern that there is a collection of
money sitting there but no project being completed. Printup noted the current legislation does not contain
any language saying the money has to be spent within a certain period of time and that the City should
consider putting some parameters on there.
Anderson noted the Council would have the ability to place those parameters on their districts.
Levang stated another question is if the City chooses to create those districts,whether they should get the
money in advance or only get the money when a specific project is planned.
Printup commented those are two issues that will need to be looked at.

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER'S UPDATE
Struve reported they are currently evaluating various advertisements for the Orono Golf Course. Some of
the improvements they are moving forward with include opening up the front door, painting, and various
other projects yet to be determined depending on volunteer availability and funding. The ftont door to the
club house has been evaluated and is in fairly good condition outside of some glass that needs to be
replaced.
Anderson asked if Struve got in contact with the lady that offered to help with the blog.
Struve indicated he has not been in contact with her at this time and that they are looking at different
options.
Anderson commented that would be a good opportunity to create a better blog and perhaps include some
graphics that would help marketing-wise.
Struve reported the City was approved for a grant for Bederwood from Hennepin County. Last fall the
City Council had authorized pursuing a grant but the City was not approved to receive a grant at that time.
Struve indicated he did reapply far a different grant with Hennepin County this year and the City has been
approved to receive $7,500 for new equipment at Bederwood. Struve indicated he will be meeting with
an equipment supplier later this week or next week to get a cost estimate. Struve stated he will bring that
additional information to the Council at a future meeting.
Levang asked what the plans are for the current equipment.
Struve indicated that would be removed and disposed of by the company that does the new work. In the
past the City has explored donating different equipment but it did not gain any traction.

McMillan noted the Long Lake Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for this Sunday from 8:00 to 1:00.
McMillan stated they will have an update on the cable franchise at the next Council work session. While
the City Council has already approved the space planning study, McMillan stated she would like to
mention that there are some HVAC problems in city hall as well and that perhaps the City could
piggyback on that project. McMillan recommended Staff look at that.
Loftus noted that is part of the proposal for the space study. Loftus indicated she did discuss with Police
Chief Farniok that the City could perhaps share some of the costs for the study. The City Hall building is
currently 20 years old and is in very good condition but there are currently 14 residential air conditioners
cooling the building and a number of electrical panels.

14. LONG LAKE FUNDING REQUEST
Loftus noted the City received a$500 funding request from Long Lake Mayor Tim Hulmann to assist in
the removal of carp from Long Lake,which has been completed. Long Lake believes the removal of the
carp improves the water quality for the lake and in their estimation they removed approximately 40,000
pounds of carp.
McMillan commented they believe 200,000 pounds of carp might be in there.
Loftus noted this item was not budgeted and that there was some question about whether this would occur
on a yearly basis.
McMillan stated to her belief they originally felt there would be no cost since the processing company
would make up the costs by selling the carp but the price of carp has fallen.
Loftus stated if this request is approved, she would advise Long Lake that it is a one-time payment unless
Orono is asked to be part of a long-term project. Loftus stated there is some thought that the removal of
the carp improves the water quality.
Struve indicated there is some debate on whether the removal of the carp will improve the water quality
and that the studies are inconclusive at this time.
Levang stated if this is an ongoing issue, she would like to be informed of the project before it is done
rather than finding out about it after the fact. Levang stated if it is shown that the water quality is
improved, she would be willing to partner in the future with Long Lake.
