Dear Mary:
iv copy of letter of October 7, 1 2 wherein is concerns 111 I received a c py your o Oc be 99 , you raised co s regarding the
potential extension of Lake Lucy Road across your property. I believe your concerns stem from
a discussion you and I had earlier that day, when you and other parents brought their children
into City Hall to gain an overview of how local government functions. During one of my talks,
I explained how the City Comprehensive Plans indicate not only land uses, but also future
extensions of collector streets and other roadways. When questioned by you, I indicated that the
city was in the process of doing a feasibility study for the extension of Lake Lucy Road in the
vicinity of your property, and that you would be kept informed as to its progress. 1
As I explained to you, the city is not normally in the position of developing roads or utilities in
advance of development. We have been requested by two property owners located to the west
of your parcel to investigate the appropriate alignment of the Lake Lucy Road extension so that
a portion of it may be constructed to serve their properties. To complete this study, we had to
map the entire route between Highway 41 and Gaipin Boulevard. There will be some meetings
on this feasibility study in the very near future, and I am asking that the City Engineer be sure
that you and your husband are contacted so that you may directly ,participate in them.
Preliminary drafts of the feasibility study do agree with the Comprehensive Plan that was
approved by the city almost two years ago, that Lake Lucy Road must ultimately be extended
to serve development as it occurs. For the street to have reasonable continuity, there is only one
touchdown point possible on Galpin Boulevard, and that is where the existing street terminates
today. For traffic to flow in a reasonable manner, it is simply not possible to shift the road to
the south as you have indicated. The city is actively working on the alignment of a second
collector street approximately one -half mile south of your property. In a similar manner, about
one -half of the street would be constructed with a subdivision being proposed by Lundgren
Brothers Construction. This would take the road approximately half way from Highway 41
towards Gaipin. The remaining section of the road is not likely to be built until the adjoining

1 property owner makes a decision to develop his property. Thus, the situation is quite similar to
what we are facing with regards to your concern.
1 Again, Mary, I need to reiterate that the city is not in the business of pushing roads or utilities
ahead of development requests, unless there is a need to do so to protect the health, safety and
I welfare of our residents. I do not foresee this happening with the Lake Lucy Road extension at
this time since relatively low levels of traffic will exist until much more development occurs.
Additionally, as I recall in conversations with you and your husband two years ago during the
I Comprehensive Plan drafting, you wish to protect your rights to one day develop your property.
The city is no way trying to influence your decision to do so one way or the other. We are
simply trying to ensure that as people make decisions to develop that it is done in a reasonable
I manner.
If you or your husband have further concerns in this area, I would be happy to meet with you
I to discuss them.
Sincerely,
I 'g:ak

Dear Mr. Ashworth, ■�
I am providing you with information regarding the election of Hennepin Conservation 1
District Supervisors in anticipation of the questions you may receive from your city's residents. I
hope that this information will help you and you staff answer all questions concerning the
upcoming Supervisor elections, but in the event that additional information is requested, please feel 1
free to direct these questions to the Hennepin Conservation District office (544-8572).
The Hennepin Conservation District is governed by a five member Board of Supervisors. 1
Supervisors are elected to six year terms in a county wide election. Supervisors establish
conservation policies and program priorities.
Although supervisors are elected by a county wide election, each elected Supervisor must 1
come from one of five nominating districts. This year there are elections for three of the five
Supervisor positions. Remember that you can vote your preference in each of the three contests
since the election for all three positions are county wide not by nominating district.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Karen J. Engelhardt, Office Manager
FROM: Gina Burmeister, Administrative Receptionist
DATE: October 20, 1992
r SUBJ: Seminar Reviewal and Thank -you
I would like to thank -you for your approval of my attendance of the seminar titled "Conflict,
Criticism and Anger ". The seminar was offered through Seminars International based out of
Kansas and was presented by Jim Alspaugh. The seminar was structured to cover all three areas
of conflict, criticism and anger and how to deal with each individually.
To begin with, we learned that not all conflict is bad. Conflict can served several purposes
I including teaching us new information, offering a different point of view and offering different
solutions to similar problems. One of the most interesting things talked about was the number
of conflicts the average person has in one day. It is estimated that the average person
1 experiences more than 1000 conflicts daily. This number includes personal, mental, emotional,
physical and verbal conflicts. We were informed that there are only two ways to COMPLETELY
get rid of conflicts in our lives. One is to die and the other is to slip into a coma forever. While
' that seems rather extreme, we also learned that the only person that can stop a conflict from
totally consuming us and ruining our day, is ourself. The only way that someone can get to us
is if we let them. For example, when someone is screaming at us for something we have no
' control over, we should just let them scream and scream until they have vented everything they
are feeling. Even if it requires putting the phone down on the desk and just letting them blow
off steam, it should be done. The person who is venting only controls what they say. They do
' not control our feelings or our response to their tirade. If we elicit a response, then we are
making ourselves vulnerable to taking their anger and criticism personally. It is best to tell
ourself that they are not angry at us, rather, we are the first person they are able to vent their
frustrations at.
1 While the seminar was educational and well- structured, I felt that it was rather short. It began
promptly at 9:00 a.m. and ended at 4:00 p.m.. However, we had a twenty minute break in the
morning, an hour lunch break, and another twenty minute break in the afternoon. I feel that for
the $ 115.00 fee, the break should have only been ten minutes or the seminar should have lasted
thirty minutes longer. The instructor was well- informed and kept the audience interested with
anecdotes that could be applied to everyday life. I feel that I have learned some valuable
information from this seminar and would like to thank -you again.

' Re: Future Elementary School Site in Chanhassen
Dear Phil:
1 The City has recently held meetings with the School District concerning locating an
elementary school in the southeast quadrant of Trunk Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard in
Chanhassen. From the discussions, it is apparent that there are some questions regarding
utility service to this site. The Upper Bluff Creek Trunk Utilities feasibility report identifies
some preliminary utility alignments. Please review the options for providing sanitary sewer
and water improvements to this site and prepare a brief synapsis outlining the alignment
alternatives, associated completion timeframe, and costs. It is my understanding that this
school will be designed to facilitate approximately 700 students. Please also consider a
relative cost estimate for the future east /west road north of Timberwood Estates to serve
this site. If you should have any questions or comments on this matter, please feel free to
contact me.

Each State's STP funds are allotted in the following manner:
I
er 10% for safety, i.e. hazard elimination and rail highway crossings
* 10% for transportation enhancements
* 24% for Twin Cities Metro Area
* 26% for areas with less the 200,000 population
* Small areas with population less than 5,000 will receive at least (110% of Minnesota's Secondary System Apportionment) $15.7 mill
* The remaining funds (30 %) can be spent in any area of the state.
BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM (BR) - The ISTEA continues the BR program with a 19
apportionment to Minnesota of $25.6 million. Bridges in Minnesota are eligible for these funds based on a statewi
II
priority system for deficient bridges.
CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CMAQ) - Minnesota has two air quality non- attainme1
areas eligible for funding with CMAQ funds; Mpls. /St. Paul and Duluth. CMAQ projects must contribute to meeting
attainment of national ambient air quality standards. Minnesota's apportionment for 1992 is $4.1 million. 1
FEDERAL LANDS - The Federal Lands Program, previously available through four categories, are now provided through
the following three categories:
_ Indian Reservation Roads
* Parkways and Park' and
* Public Lands Highways, which incorporates the previous Forest Highway category.
The funds are allocated on the basis of relative needs. The Forest Highway portion of Public Lands Highways and thill
Indian Reservation Roads authorizations are allocated by administrative formula.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS - There are 539 Congressionally designated highway projects (Demonstration Projects). Minneso;
has 22 of these projects totalling $239.7 million over a six year period.
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) introdupea,several new programs into Title 2

Mr. Morgan Brown
Office of Congressman Jim Ramstad
' United States House of Representatives
Washington, D. C. 20515 -2303
' Dear Mr. Brown:
You recently asked me to outline our concerns regarding the HUD Assistant Secretary's
position on our request to have Community Development Block Grant Program rules
modified for our community. As you are aware, Chanhassen is a split place community
under program rules. We are located partially in Hennepin County, with the bulk of the
community located in Carver County. Chanhassen's eligibility for CDBG funding has been
obtained through Hennepin County and we have operated in this context for many years. We
recently lost what little population we had left in the Hennepin County portion of our
' community due to public actions related to a highway expansion. Based upon HUD's
interpretation of the rules, we are now ineligible to participate in the CDBG program through
Hennepin County.
' In the letter drafted by Timothy Fennich, for y y , fo Russell Paul, he indicates some concern with the
revised language that had been proposed by the City in our August 1 lth letter. Upon reading
his concerns closer, I agree with his position. Our proposed language to Section .106(b)(5) of
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 Amended would need to be modified.
' An acceptable revision could read, "Should the qualifying area population of such a unit of
local government be reduced to zero due to state or federal government acfion after initial
program qualification, the total population of such unit of local government shall hereinafter
' be included in computing amounts under this section with respect to urban counties."
Rather than attempting to modify our proposed language, Mr. Fennich proposed language that
1 reads, "In computing the amounts under this section with respect to any urban county, there
shall be included all of the area of any unit of local government which is part of, but not
located entirely within the boundaries of such, urban county, if, for the first year of the period
' of urban county Qualification, the part of such unit of local government . . ." We have had an
opportunity to review this language change and believe it can be interpreted in either one of
ea, PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

Mr. Morgan Brown
October 15, 1992
- Page 2
two ways. We note that urban county qualification is done every three years. Thus, a strict 1
interpretation of Mr. Fennich's revision would mean that Chanhassen's eligibility would cease
in the current funding cycle since recertification of the county would ultimately be required.
A more liberal interpretation would be that if a community is found to be eligible the first
time the county is accepted into the CDBG program, that thereafter Chanhassen would be
considered to be a part of the program regardless of current population status or periodic
county requalification, then this interpretation would be acceptable. However, I believe it is a
stretch to say that the language as drafted would result in the necessary interpretation. We
would ask Mr. Fennich to clarify this point and believe it would be desirable to either modify
his language or utilize language we have proposed or something similar to that so that this
situation may be resolved once and for all.
Thank you for your continued assistance on behalf of the City of Chanhassen. I will convey
your continued efforts on our behalf to the Mayor and the City Council.
Sincerely,
Paul Krauss, AICP

Meeting Notes - Membership Meeting
Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition 00 - (' 199
September 30, 1992
8:00 A.M. - Chanhassen, MN ''
•
1. CALL TO ORDER. Bob Lindall callED the meeting to order at 8:10 a.m. 1
2. PRAIRIE CENTER CIRCULATION CONSTRUCTION PLAN. Harvey Scheffert and
Sue Kline of MNDOT presented the traffic and construction plan for the Prairie
Center drive project. Mr. Scheffert reviewed each phase and stage through the
use of maps. This six -stage project is scheduled to be let in June, 1994, but to
take advantage of a full construction season, the project may not start until the
spring of 1995. It is estimated that the project could take two full construction
seasons.
In response to questions, Mr. Scheffert answered that the project is being ,
designed to add an extra highway and bridge lane, and there will be metered
access. There is a transit hub planned for the project and MNDOT and the
Southwest Transit Commission are working on plans for the hub.
Copies of the maps are available by contacting Gene Ranieri at 341 -3646. Copies
will also be available at the October 27, 1992 membership meeting.
3. UPDATES. 1
Schedule for Highway 212 Evan Green noted that the Prairie Center Drive project
has been delayed by six months or until June 1994. Mr. Green felt that the other
stages of the highway construction could also be delayed six months. Mike
Spielman, MNDOT design engineer, stated that the next project is under design
and therefore should not be delayed. The third scheduled project could be
initiated at the same time as the second project. Therefore, the schedule is as
follows:
Project Letting Date
Prairie Center Drive June 1994 1
Wallace Road December 1994
CSAH 4 to Wallace Road June 1995
Lyman to CSAH 4 June 1996
EIS - Timing and Historical Agreement The EIS is in its final stages and should be
completed within the calendar year. MNDOT and its consultant are responding to
comments from other public agencies. Two issues, however, need to be finalized. '
1
1
1
I - the state budget crisis could make it difficult for the legislature to increase
transportation funding.
I - a possible increase of five cents in the gas tax. The increase has been
mentioned frequently by state officials but, at this time, is not official policy
of the Governor or legislature.
1 Upon conclusion of her remarks, several members agreed with the Senator's
observations, but some felt that it is unlikely that a majority of the legislature will
I agree to dedicate MVET proceeds and that is is more likely that MVET funds will
remain in the general fund,.
1 School House Neighborhood - Eden Prairie Mr. Ranieri and Mr. Feerick reported
on a meeting that was held in August regarding concerns over the acquisition of
property in the School House Neighborhood. The meeting which was held in the
I Eden Prairie city hall was conducted by MNDOT staff (Bill Crawford was lead staff)
and its purpose was to hear and attempt to answer concerns and questions from
neighborhood residents.
I Mr. Crawford stated that MNDOT will review the concerns and investigate, if
needed, each file to assure that the acquisition process is working correctly.
I MNDOT 1993 Legislation Todd Vlatkovich of Larkin, Hoffman and Daly and the
Coalition's legislative liaison, discussed the 1993 legislature and the outlook for
1 transportation funding. Mr. Vlatkovich suggested that the Coalition:
- needs to be heard at the legislature and should adopt a legislative program
- work closely with the Minnesota Transportation Alliance (MTA)
P � )
1 - members should engage local legislators in discussion regarding the need
for increased funding for transportation
1 Mr. Lindall suggested that Mr. Fred Corrigan, executive vice president of the MTA,
be invited to speak and that the Coalition begin its development of a legislative
1 strategy.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40 a.m.
1
1
1
1
1
On October 17, 1992, MNDOT officials will meet with the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) and federal environmental officials to discuss the impact of the
project upon a cranberry bog in Eden Prairie. Since the highway is approximately
200 feet from the bog, MNDOT does not anticipate any impact upon the project.
The other issue is the memorandum of agreement between MNDOT and the
Minnesota Historical Society (MHS).
The memorandum is in its final form and should be signed by MNDOT and MHS 1
within the next two weeks. An additional signator is the Eden Prairie Historic
Preservation Commission (EPHPC) which was to review the agreement at its
September 21, 1992 meeting.
[Since the membership meeting, it has been learned that the memorandum was
not reviewed at the EPHPC meeting. The revised memorandum will be on the
October commission agenda and MNDOT will work with the commission chair to
explain the memorandum.]
1
Eden Prairie and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) The City of Eden Prairie
and the EPA are in the process of completing an agreement for the restoration of
the wetland near Technology Drive. The restoration order should be approved by
all parties and it is hoped that the issue can reach closure by the end of October.
EPA and MNDOT Since the EPA -Eden Prairie wetlands issues appear to be near
resolution, it is assumed that the permits for Technology Drive will be processed
by the Corp of Engineers.
1
Deferrals and Corridor Projects Due to the funding shortage MNDOT will
announce $85.0 million in project deferrals for 1993. The deferrals are considered 1
permanent and will not be reversed if funding for the fiscal year is increased in
1993. Although the 1993 deferrals do not impact the Highway 212 projects, the
projects which are scheduled in 1994 and beyond (such as TH 212) will be
delayed from six months to one year.
Presentation: Senator Terry Johnston Sen. Johnston was by Mr. Lindell
to comment on the transportation issues in the 1993 Session. Sen. Johnston
outlined the current funding system and suggested the following: '
a constitutional amendment that would dedicate the motor vehicle excise tax
(MVET) for transportation (SEN. Johnston authored the bill in 1991 - 1992). '
funding for transit which could be supported with a tax on automobile
repairs, or MVET 1
while not supporting a rededication of the gas tax, she stated that there
could be efforts to use gas tax proceeds for transportation uses other than
highways.

RE: Minnewashta Parkway
Dear Mr. and r
M s. Boylan:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter we received from the Chanhassen
City Attorney regarding your property. This letter was written
after viewing the site in the field. The letter is self-
' explanatory with regard to the usage and construction of the
parkway.
As we discussed, the attorney's letter indicates a need by the
city to acquire an easement for the walkway portion of the
project. As the project stands, we feel the trees, both on the
east and west side of the road, will be retained. The walkway
may have to be narrowed slightly to get around one of the maples.
We are in the process of preparing an easement description for
the walkway. It is anticipated to be an 8 -foot easement to
accommodate the construction.
As soon as this description is prepared we will be in contact
with you regarding compensation for the acquisition. The storm
sewer and road construction will be proceeding with the walkway
construction to take place next spring. Hopefully we can come to
an agreement on this matter. We thank you for your patience; I
know this has been a difficult situation for both of you.
If you have any questions please call me at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

Dear Paul:
As we discussed during our phone conversation, enclosed is the
draft proposal from the CLIMB Theatre Company for a grade - school
water education project. I took the liberty of mentioning
Chanhassen as one of several communities in the area that might be
interested in promoting presentation of the play at their schools.
There are numerous items that we still need to work out, but I
believe the most immediate needs are as follows:
1. Do the project objectives and design effectively promote
the ideas that we want to get across to assist in implementing
our respective water management programs?
2. Would the project as outlined fill a niche in water
quality education that would appeal to our as well as other
communities or governments?
I would welcome comments from you on both issues. After I meet
with Peg on October 8, she will draft a final proposal that will
serve as the basis for a discussion on funding and other gory
details.
Please contact me at 681 -4300 when you'd like to discuss the
proposal or if you have any questions. Thanks for your interest,
Paul.

Dear Rich:
The attached proposal is but a draft much in need of your thoughts. additions, deletions
and corrections. (I'm especially nervous about my lack of proper technical language)
but I'm hoping what I've written will adequately serve three primary purposes:
1) Document my thoughts (and my understanding of your thoughts)
thus far.
2) Prompt further discussion between us especially as regards the projects
objectives, and design.
3) Serve as the first step in producing a final proposal you are comfortable
to present to a variety of potential funding sources.
I'm looking forward - earing from you.

I Rationale:
Children have been a powerful influence in getting their parents to stop smoking
cigarettes, to start waste reuse. reduction and recycling. and to stop littering. Children
I can be just as influential in prompting their parents to stop practices that contribute to
the demise of local lakes and ponds and to begin practices that help assure healthy
lakes and ponds. One of the most effective and efficient ways to reach large numbers of
children is to create projects that can be presented in public and prtvate schools.
I Schools, however, are very concerned that such outside projects are responsible, high
quality presentations produced by experienced, credible persons and organizations.
Toadillv Turtle is a collaboration between the Park and Recreation Department of the
I City of Eagan and CLIMB Theatre.

CLIMB Theatre:
I Founded in 1975 by Peg Wetli, CLIMB is America's premiere educational theatre.
Professional actors in CLIMB's Performance Company present original plays which
address rt u St r anrs, g g stranger safe vital without issues being such afraid as Sma of all Ab u nknown adults , Ouch! teachin and K Owie !, CLIMB 's to two be
I violence prevention plays and TRASH!, an environmental play written to motivate 3rd -
6th graders to practice waste reduction, reuse and recycling. TRASH! has been
performed in schools throughout Minnesota and North Carolina where it has won
I several environmental awards. In the last two school years CLIMB has performed over
1,400 times, reaching 450,000 youngsters in 97% of Minnesota's 875 schools. (See
attached brochures succinctly and thoroughly describing CLIMB Theatre.)
1 Project Description:
1 The Toadilly Turtle project consists of an original one -half hour play presented by 3-4
CLIMB actors to K -3rd grade children in elementary schools in Eagan and other
interested Twin Cities area cities. All children attending the play will also receive a
take home piece appropriate to the children and their parents, which reinforces the
I messages presented in the play.
protect Obiectives:
1) To help K -3rd graders and their teachers recognize the differences
between a healthy and unhealthy lake or pond.
1 2) To help K -3rd graders and their parents understand the undesirability
of unhealthy ponds and lakes.
I 3) To help K -3rd graders and their teachers understand the causes of
unhealthy lakes and ponds.
I 4) To help K -3rd graders and their teachers understand that many of the
causes of unhealthy lakes can be greatly minimized when homeowners
use non - phosphorous soap. use low phosphorous fertilizers very
carefully. and do not allow motor oil, pesticides, anti- freeze,
I grass clippings and soil to enter storm drains.
5) To motivate children to talk with their parents about the things the
family can do to keep healthy lakes healthy.
1 - 2 -

6) To write. produce. and present an entertaining and educational 30
minute play appropriate to K -3rd graders that can be presented in
elementary schools which will help to achieve Objectives 1 -5.
7) To create and distribute a take -home piece that children can share
with their parents which will prompt discussion and remind the
children and teach the parents the primary points noted in Objective 4.
8) To create a memorable central character that can serve as a mascot for
clean lake efforts and can be used on printed material which may
accompany the play and other promotional efforts.

The Play:
•
NOTE: This proposal will fund the actual writing and production of Toadilly Turtle.
The ideas presented here are only initial thoughts which will probably (but
may not) form a basis for the final product.
This play takes place on a unique set consisting of a lower and upper playing area. The
lower platform representing a pond or lake, is two feet off the ground, and is masked so
that an actor can slip unseen under the stage and poke various plant life up through
holes. thereby indicating the ponds deterioration.
The upper platform, about six feet off the ground will represent a suburban home.
This platform overhangs the "lake" by about two - thirds of the lake's length. The front
and sides of the area between the two platforms will be open. but ladders and ramps will
join the two platforms allowing actors access to both areas. The back area between the
two platforms will be "walled" with a drop system of painted muslin which can be
changed to indicate the pond at various stages of deterioration.
Toadilly Turtle. a wise, ancient and soon to be homeless Turtle lives in the pond.
watching its painful demise, until one Tuesday when Toadilly decides to do something
about it. Becoming practically Mutant Ninja Turtle -like. Toadilly begins a stealthful
attack on the nearby home. Dirty water replaces the clean water usually in the girl
child's super soaker. the house fills with foul smells. displaced frogs - hundreds of them
are found in the bedsheets, and as a final coupe de taut, the family vehicle is awash with
abundant algae. Toadilly's relentless revenge continues until the fateful Friday when
he falls into the girl child's tumultuous turtle trap.
After the initial impediments to their relationship are worked out, the girl child
Frankie, who is somewhat of a super scientist, and Toadilly Turtle, who is some-
what of a talking wizard, conduct experiment after experiment finally producing a list
of "Homeowner Rules for the Preservation of Eagan's Lakes and Ponds". Engaging the
cooperation of the rest of the city is the challenge Toadilly and Frankie leave with the
children in the audience who readily accept their new responsibilities as "Pond
Protectors ".
The Take -Home Piece:
Any take -home piece should meet the following objectives:
1) Feature drawn versions of Toadilly Turtle.
2) Feature a symbol plus word system that would remind
children (and teach parents) the rules of pond responsible
household behavior.
3) Be of enough permanence and attractiveness to be displayed
and used in the home.
NOTE: While the piece about to be described achieves all of the above objectives,
it may be cost prohibitive.
The ideal take -home piece may be a May and June numberless calendar (so the piece can
be used year after year) with days printed in. but which allows the homeowner to fill in
the numbers belonging to each day.
The magnetized calendar would mount on a refrigerator and host a drawing of Toadilly,
and several moveable pieces like a bag of fertilizer saying "3%" on it a car with a
al near it over a detergent box. a laundry basket with 23 sign over soap on it.
The homeowner could then place each activity piece on the calendar on the day on
which the task is to be done.

Dear Mayor Chimiel:
Thank you for contacting my office about the problem the city of 1
Chanhassen is having with its CDBG application. I understand
that you have already spoken with Jeff Blodgett of my staff.
I have contacted Mr. James Brougham in the U.S. Department of 1
Housing and Urban Development on September 22 and asked that they
investigate Chanhassen's unique dilemma of being a "split county"
and advise me of their findings. A copy of that letter is
enclosed.
As soon as I receive a response I will contact you. In the
meantime, if you have any questions or additional information to
share with me, please contact Jeff at:

Senator Paul Wellstone
2401 University Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55114
Dear Senator Wellstone:
In recent months I have written your office concerning some difficulties the City of
Chanhassen has been encountering relative to our participation in the Community
Development Block Grant Program. Since that time, we have received official responses
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (see attached letter) that would
1 appear to preclude Chanhassen's continued participation in the program as an entitlement
community under the auspices of Hennepin County. By way of a brief synopsis of the
problem, Chanhassen's corporate boundaries are split between Carver and Hennepin Counties.
By far the bulk of our population has always resided in Carver County; however, we have a
very significant employment base in Hennepin County, with over 1,500 jobs located in this
area. Under this "split place" situation, we have been able to participate under the Hennepin
i County CDBG program. Hennepin County is an entitlement area, thus, we have been assured
of a steady source of block grant funds which we believe we have put to excellent use in our
community. In the past several years, the few homes that we had left in Hennepin County
1 were removed either directly by the State of Minnesota or by the City of Chanhassen working
on behalf of the State of Minnesota relative to highway improvement programs for Highways
5 and 101. Since the 1990 census shows no population within the Hennepin County area of
` our community, James R. Broughman, Director of HUD Entitlement Communities Division,
has determined that Chanhassen is no longer eligible to participate under the Hennepin
County program. This represents a significant loss of funds for the city that jeopardizes our
ability to respond to the needs of our low- moderate income, handicapped and elderly
members of our community.

What to ask candidates about 10081 aid
When a candidate for the Minnesota Legisla-
ture knocks on the door or shows up at a local
:
forum, here are some questions to ask about >� • >>
local govemment aid and the state's budget
shortfall:"
■ Do you think state aid to cities should be
b H
reduced? Do you think cities are spending too
much on salaries and benefits, and could they so ,
afford to cut back? Does the district you repre-
sent receive local government aid?
• With crime and poverty rates increasing in
the metro area, isn't this a bad time to talk about cutting back aid
to cities?
■ Is it fairer to depend more heavily on local property taxes —
rather than state income and sales taxes — to pay for local
govemment services, such as police, Are and snow removal? Or is
_. it fairer to spread the wealth around the state, as the local
govemment aid program attempts to do?
■ If state aid reductions cause problems in city budgets, do you
favor property tax increases to make up the difference?
■ If you anticipate no cut in state aid to cities, what programs
would you cut — or what taxes would you increase — to solve the
state's budget problems?

Re: Upper Bluff Creek Utilities Project
Easement No. 8 and No. 9
Dear Gayle:
7
This letter is to confirm the substance of our recent
discussions regarding the easements over your property and over
your parents property for the Upper Bluff Creek Sanitary Sewer
Project.
4
When Charles Folch and I met with you and Lois and your
mother and father at Chanhassen City Hall last week, we discussed
several of your concerns as well as topics related to the City's
project and its effect on your property. We informed you of the
City's desire to start the project this week and the City's need
for a right of entry over your property. We then discussed •
compensation to you and your parents for the easements over your
property and the effect of the construction of the lift station on
your property.
•
Following our meeting, I reviewed your proposal regarding
compensation and discussed the matter with you on the phone.
Based on our meeting at City Hall and on our phone conversation,
the following is my understanding of our discussions:
1. You and your wife Lois, as well as your father and
mother, intend to grant the City the right of entry it
needs to start work this week.
2. Charles Folch, City Engineer, will be writing to you
regarding your request that the drain tile that is
disturbed by the construction be reinstalled with input
from Mr. Newman (soil conservation) and that fertilizer,
approximately 500 pounds per acre, will be mixed in with
the top soil when the sewer pipe is buried.
3. I will recommend to the City that you and Lois and
your father and mother be compensated for all damages to
your property as follows:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Karen Engelhardt, Office Manager
FROM: Nikki Dummer
DATE: October 22, 1992
SUBJ: Seminar Attendance
I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the
seminar on Self Esteem and Peak Performance For Women. I truly
enjoyed the seminar, and found it very helpful. Even though much
of the information was not new to me, I found it very motivational,
and a very good reminder on actions we can take, especially on
improving ones positive self -talk needed to build a more positive
attitude to recharge from the negative influences around us. I
found the following areas of discussion most helpful:
Hearing your own critical voice, and creating a "healthy
inner voice ".
- Visualization of affirmations.
- How to integrate esteem - building habits into your daily
routine.
Again, I want to relay my appreciation for the opportunity to
attend an event such as this for development and self improvement.
There is another seminar Career Track offers, High- Impact
Communication Skills For Women, that I would like to attend if it
comes to our area. This seminar was not offered in Minnesota this
year, however, if this or a similar one is offered in 1993, I would
appreciate the opportunity to attend.
