Dear Todd,
This spring, the City of Minnetrista needed temporary planning assistance
after our City Planner resigned to take a position with another City. We
contacted the City of Chanhassen to discuss options for possibly helping
us through this time and as a result, met with you and Kate Aanenson to
further explore what could be done.
What we came up with was a part-time schedule whereby Chanhassen's
Planning Department would take shifts during the week, including evening
meetings, for a couple months. On behalf of the City of Minnetrista, I
want to thank you and your staff for the help that was provided during this
time. Your Planning staff did an excellent job. They were very
professional, knowledgeable and courteous in providing the services we
needed. This type of cooperation and commitment to quality public
service is a wonderful example of how things can work·
Please inform the appropriate people in your organization how
appreciative the City of Minnetrista is for the assistance your staff
provided during this time. Again, thank you.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Charles Folch, Public Works Director
Anita Benson, City Engineer
FROM: Bob Zydowsky, Chief Law Enforcement Officer
DATE: August 5, 1999
SUB J: Spring Weight Restriction Enforcement
Well, the numbers are in!! I looked up all of the citations that were issued for
various violations during the spring weight restriction enforcement program with
Carver County. Following are some of the statistics:
Total Number of Shifts: Approximately 19
Total Contacts: 63
Total Citations:
Total Fine Money Issued to Chanhassen: $3890.00
Contract Amount with CCSO: $4000.00
As you can see, ~ve came very close to the contract amount of $4000.00. I realize,
the program is not set-up to be a money maker for the city, but to save our roads.
There are two cases coming before the judge on August 9, 1999 that are being
contested. As soon as I find out about those dispositions, I will let you know. Both
those are for larger fines, and would probably put the fine revenue over the $4000.00
mark.
Contrary to rumor, there were only two tickets dismissed and continued for
dismissal. I am not sure the reason, other than they were contested. I apologize for
the delay with this report, but it took some time to learn our Carver County justice
system.
If you need other information, please feel free to aSk for it. I have all the original
citations and log sheets that I will file for reference.
