SRR will last eight (8) weeks ftom the start date. Reminder, all county, city, and township routes are automatically reduced to 5- TON Axle Limit during the times MN/DOT has set SRR (this is a change ftom previous years). Start date for the NORTH Zone has NOT been set. Spring Load Restrictions are set based on the type of weather we have in early spring. Starting dates will be set on very short notice in the year 2000 and will be based on a 3- day weather forecast. It is the responsibility of the truck operator to ftequently check this recorded message site at telephone 651-406-4701 or toll ftee 1-800-723-6543. The recorded message will be updated to reflect changes in the spring load restriction announcements. The following comments will be helpful to you in planning your transportation needs. The Winter Weight Increase Law that allows zero to 10% heavier than normal weights will end on March 7, or earlier. If Spring Road Restrictions begin before March 7, the Winter Weight Increase will end at 12:01 AM on the starting date of Spring Road Restrictions within a zone or zones where Spring Restrictions have begun. All county and town roads are by law automatically reduced to 5-Ton Axle Limit, unless posted otherwise or changed by local ordinance, at the same time Spring Road Restrictions start on State Trunk Highways as noted on this tape and the WEB site noted above. Call 651-405-6018 to get a Spring Road Restriction Map, which shows postings on State Trunk Highways. Be aware any road, especially detoured routes, as well as, any bridge may be posted with a weight restriction ANY time during the year. Therefore, watch for posted signs that limit axle & axle group maximums on roadways or limit Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) on bridges. As start dates become available and as changes are made, the phone message and the WEB site will be changed. Thank you for checking and please drive safely. 1-.++.....I'.......................~ ...1...+ ....+........................,.. ,...1........:_...1_H'_...__..___ "'''''^ 1_..__ "'/,.,"',..,,,,,(\ F"b 18 2088 17:33:46 Via Fax LMc r--.¡ Ni ,0/I0oI ow.. r .....---.... -} 612 937 5739 Ad_inistrator Pall''' 001 Of 001 c(: eollVl.""\ FRIDAyFAX r -- A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities Number 3 February 18,2000 MPCA Citizens' Board to act on water quality coop permits On Feb. 22 the MPCA Citizens' Board will be hearing and acting on two Water Quality Cooperatives Permits. These permits will autho- rize the Headwater Rural Utility Association (HRUA) and the Rainy Rlver'Rural Utility Association (RRRUA) to install subsurface discharging alternative wastewater trearment systems anywhere within two large geographic regions-the Mississippi River Basin and the Rainy River Basin. Cities that have dealt with the oooperatives are concerned the oooperatives will encircle a city, stranding a city's investment in wastewater treatment infrastruc- ture. This means the cooperatives oould operate to your city limits, making the extra growth capacity built into your system useless, and cutting the revenue needed to pay off the infrastructure debt. The Board will first meet as a permitting committee to discuss the merits of the permits, 11a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the Lower Level Board Room of the MPCA. The Board will reoonvene as the com- mittee of the whole and the pennit will be considered as an appear- ance item from 3 to 5 p.m. For a list of Board members and a oomple!e agenda: WWW.pca.8tate. mn.uS!åbout/board/lndex.html or comact Mary at (651) 281-1259. Takings The House Local Government Committee passed H.F. 591 as amended to the House CMI Law Committee. While the majority of the bill was deleted, two provisions affecting eminent domain remain: . Quick Take: The bill amends Minnesota's eminent domain quick take provisions by requir- ing a full year's notice before possession of the property is to be taken; the law currently requires 90 days prior notice; . Compensarion: The bill allows property owners to be reim- bursed for attorneys fees and other costs in the event the real property owner wins a judgment in excess of 15% of the offer made by the condemning author- Ity and is patterned after Wisc. Stat. sec. 32.28. This language is not clear about what reason- able attorneys fees are nor does it provide a threshold dollar amount before the compensation requirements would be triggered. For example, if the court award was $1,500 and the city offered $1,000, the city would be liable for attorney's fees, appraisal fees, and other costs. Shooting Ranges Due to Immense opposition to the Shooting Range Preservation bill, Sen. Jim Vickerman (DFL-Tracy) withdrew the bill, H.F. 619/S.F. 592, from the Senate Local and Metro- politan Government Committee agenda. The bill, set for a hearing Feb. 16, would have exempted shooting ranges from zoning activities. It 15 unclear whether this bill will be rescheduled, however, It likely will be pursued by its propo- nents through amendments this year or as a bill next session. Charter Commissions Rep. Barb Haake (R-Mounds View) introduced H.F. 2517 to prohibit elected City officials from serving on charter oommissions. Apparently this bill stems from an issue in her community. The bill would have any elected official who is currently serving on a charter commission be removed immediately upon rhe effective date of the bill. The LMC does not have a position on the bill at this time. However, similar to last year's watershed management organization legislation, we are concerned this bill will address a specific problem while having the potential to negatively impact other cities statewide. If you have any comments please contact Gary Carlson at (651) 281-1255 or Reml Stone at (651) 281-1256. Special assessments cost estimate bill introduced H.F. 3348, Introduced by Rep. Loren Jennings (DFL-Harris), would require that notices of special assessment hearings which are mailed to the owners of parcels in areas proposed to be assessed comain a reasonable estimate of the amount to be assessed against each parcel. If you have concerns with this bill, please conract your legislators. For more information on cUy regulative miles. contact any member 0/ the League of Minnesota.

The City of Chaska will be celebrating its sesquicentennial ( I 50th Birthday) in 2001. It will be a time to gather our people to recognize the City's heritage and to honor those who preceded us, and those who continue to strive to make Chaska the "Best Small Town in Minnesota". What do we have to celebrate? What happened during the City's 150 years? The City will be one and one-half centuries old - reason enough to celebrate. But, Chaska experienced an evolution during its 150 years that has been exciting and unique. Following is a very brief summary of the City's history. The City has evolved from an early eighteenth century fur trading post to a community of 16,000. In August of 1851, Thomas Andrew Holmes selected Chaska as a trading post site. In 1857 the original Carver County Court House was built on the sites that are now the First National Bank of Chaska, and Chaska Post Office. The City Square site was also set aside for park purposes in 1857. Summer band concerts began as early as 1877. As the century closed, the City Square, after a slow beginning, had become an important part of the community - a gathering place - as it is today. During the first half of the 1900's, Chaska's main industrial base was the production of sugar, manufacture of bricks, and a service center for the agriculture community. The 1950's saw the beginnings of the transition of Chaska ITom being the center of an agriculture trade area into a community experiencing the expansion of a rapidly growing metropolitan area.

For those of you unable to attend. I have enclosed copies of our handouts distributed during the luncheon. The luncheon was a means of opening the doors of dialogue between the PGA Championship and your respective cities. The partnership between the PGA of America and Hazeltine National Golf Club depends heavily on the successful relationship with our neighbors. So in order to promote and introduce the PGA Championship to each of our neighbors. we are recommending the following. We are asking each city to designate a representative to serve on our Community Relations Committee, or CRC committee. This committee will provide a forum to keep each of your cities aware of the current happenings within the PGA Championship. while helping us. and you share that information which is important to your respective citizens. We know this will provide your offices with the necessary tools to better answer questions or concerns on the event's impact on your communities. The meetings will not require a lot of personal time outside of attending committee meetings by your designee's behalf. The committee's purpose is to act more as a conduit by which information may be dispersed. and rumors dispelled. A timeline of scheduled meetings will be established this spring upon hearing from your designated representative. We hope you will join us in taking this proactive step in sharing the PGA Championship with your communities. with the State of Minnesota. and the world. At your earliest convenience. please have your designated city representative to the CRC committee send their business contact information and business card to my attention at the 2002 PGA Championship Office, 720 Pioneer Trail. Chaska. MN 55318. Again. thank you for attending our introductory luncheon. and we look forward to our continuing relations in preparing for the 84'" PGA Championshipl P.S.

The offldal week of the 2002 PGA O1amplonshlp Is August 12"'-18"" some 34 months awaylThe relationship between Hazeltine National Golf Cub and The PGA of America goes back many years, which culminated Into the announcement of the 2002 PGA Championship being awarded to Hazeltine National In 1996. ChampionshIp golf has grown Immeasurably over the recent decade. Through the popularity of game, and from the popularity of Tiger Woods and other young touring professionals, the game of golf has been elevated on the stage of world sports, This growth has brought a greater windfall for area communities where worldwide sporting events are staged. The PGA Championship is no exception. Many variables are taken into account when awarding a PGA Championships to dubs like Hazeltine National, and one of them is always the community and state support for such an event.

'" '- .. ." CITI ùf l.;¡-''''''',,",vv-'· Diana Kasper convened the meeting and following introductions, Lee Meyer of KKE Architects explained the funding for the fields at the . present Middle School campus and the proposed sequence of development. Points were made including: · irrigation is critical (it does not do any good to develop new fields if the old or new are not irrigated) · 70 X 110 is minimum size for soccer field · Chaska Tennis Assn. wants to dome four tennis courts which could be a partnership with funding from the Tennis Assn., Chaska Parks and Recreation, and the District. The discussion then moved to the Chaska High School site. Comments included: · High School Soccer will use Chanhassen fields after school until 5:30 PM in the Fall, 2000. · Fields must be irrigated or they will turn brick hard. · To accommodate Youth Soccer, work on fields would need to wait until afterJuly lOth · Work on the fields was budgeted for $180,000 · Low cost/minimal reconstruction would cost $60,000 · High performance fields (sand peat) wou1d cost around $350,000 · Concern about the high use of the fields mean that the low cost/minimal reconstruction would be wasted money and effort · Concern about the seeding and watering being done properly was answered by having John Hopko, turf specialist, supervise the project · Sand peat fields are high maintenance (more watering and more fertilizer) · Well would be needed to offset the cost of city water (cost estimate $45,000) · Frustrating to taxpayers when the fields at surrounding school districts look so much better. Our use is increasing. There was consensus about holding off doing anything at the site until July lOth and eliminating the path between the fields. '. . Can we change the budget for the site? What is the cost of bleachers? Why the difference between $150,000 and $120,000 It was later explained that the difference of$30,000 is in the design costs, the fencing, etc. Groups indicated that they might be able to fund the bleachers so that the money contributed could go back to fields to get sand peat fields. "Need to do things right". The group felt that the filds need to be of quality this time around or another referendum would not be supported $250,000 -180,000 75,000 needed ITom fundraising The money for the well might come ITom capital outlay funds Concern about the funds committed to Chaska High School fields not being used for other purpose if fields would be delayed. Timeline for doing South fields needed with a "drop dead" date for the fundraising. New Middle School Participants will be invited to the Design Team meeting when outdoor facilities are discussed. Legislative Bill "Mighty Kicks" #2733 was described and persons ask to write local legislators (Carol Molnau) and tile Governor to support. - -I· bI U Z < a: < > C bI l- II) < U a: 0 LL. 0 I- 0 :E I- bI ::> 0:: 0 0:: 0 0:: NO 0 0 _Z "- '" :> bI U -'" a:: 0 z "*'~ I- >- Ou. ø: Ul .. tJ)Ul ~ :J _a:: 0 ø: ..

Considerably lower rates can be found in the neighboring states of North Dakota, $55 average rate; Wisconsin, $45 flat fee; and South Dakota, $45 average rate.' The w<r¡ roads are designed today, passenger cars do not erode them any more than the weather. In addition, the tax paid by motorists is based on vehicle value, which has no relationship to road deterioration. A better and more fair solution is needed, The Governor's proposal . Governor Jesse Ventura believes MiMesota vehicle registration taxes are too high. He wants " a tax reduction for citizens that · ümits the maximum registration tax to $75 and retains a minimum tax of $35. · Gives a tax reduction to nearly 1.6 million owners of passengervehides registered in Minnesota. · Will save taxpayers approximately $275 million annually for registration renewals after July I, 2000. Motor vehicle registration taxes are currently depositèd to the dedicated highway funds. The Governor's proposal transfers general funds to replace lost highway funds resulting from the tax reduction in the first year.

(,.,oj", February 18,2000 Representative Carol Molnau 443 State Office Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Dear Representative Molnau, Thank you for your time and your counsel regarding Chanhassen's desire to upgrade our current library facilities. I believe Carver County Commissioner Ursula Dimler, our City Manger Scott Botcher and myself all came away from the meeting with a clearer understanding of the obstacles and opportunities involved in seeking State participation in a new library project. During our visit you raised an issue that deeply concerns me. You asked for clarification of Chanhassen's position on the proposed development of Highway 212, in light of the visits to various State Legislators and members of the Governor's staff by Chanhassen Councilwoman Linda Jansen and representatives of the Sierra Club. Your agitation at Chanhassen's perceived reversal of position took me by surprise. The City has not wavered from the official position we communicated to Mr. Robert Lindall of the Southwest Corridor Coalition in the fall of 1998. The City's position is quite clear. In October of 1998, the City forwarded a signed Memorandum of Understanding and an accompanying letter that clearly stated that Chanhassen does support the future building of Highwav 212. We also noted that the City has a number of design concerns that will have to be addressed before the project moves forward. We executed a second MOU in March of 1999 regarding the acquisition ofland along the right-of-way. The City Council has not met as a group to discuss any modification to our official position since then. I've enclosed a copy of the MOU for your files, as well as a copy of an editorial letter recently written by Mr. Botcher. The crux of the issue is whether or not Ms. Jansen's visits with the State Legislators and the Governor's staff should be construed as representing the official position of Chanhassen, or whether she is merely expressing her personal opinion as a citizen. Clearly, she has received no official direction from the City Council to contact anyone about Highway 212. The topic of Highway 212 has not come up in our Council work sessions in any manner that would even informally lead Ms. Jansen to be conducting informational interviews on the subject, nor is 'Representative Carol Molnau February 18.2000 Page 2 sne reporting any information back to the Council. Therefore, I must conclude that she is acting (in concert with the Sierra Club) solely as an independent citizen, totally separate ITom any official capacity as a representative of Chanhassen. In one of our next work sessions, I will request that our elected City Council members clearly communicate whether they are representing the City's official position or their personal position as a citizen when dealing with other government officials or with the press. However, to the extent that any member of our community is exercising their rights as an individual citizen, the City has no basis to become involved. I hope this clears up any confusion. If in the future you have any concerns about Chanhassen's position on issues, in the spirit of keeping the communication lines open and unambiguous, I would appreciate it if you contact me directly as soon as a question comes up.

Linda1I, President Southwcst Conidor Transponation Coalition 470 PiIIsbury Cenær Minneapolis. MN 55402 Re: New Trunk Highway 212 Memorandum of Understanding. PW290E Dear Mr. Linda11: The City of Chanhassen has given a great deal of thought, study and discussion to the Memorandum of Understanding <MOU) fOrwarded by the Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition. Although the MOU advocates action steps to accelerate the design and cOnstruction of Highway 212, many issues important to the City of Chanhassen still remain IIDr'esolvcd. Until these issues can be resolved, the City is unable to sign the proposed agreement in its cunent form. Chanhasscn has histoñcally taken a responsible, wen-p1anned approach to development to preserve the character that our residents value. Highway 212 has the poœntial to be one of the most disruptive and destructive public improvement projects to take place in our commwúiy. Done properly, Highway 212 could be an asseL If done incorrectly, it could divide our commwúty. Fonowing arc Some of the issues that have not been resolved to our satisfaction. Apan from these issues, it is imPOrtant to note that Chanhassen does suppon the . future building of the Highway 212 lIansportation corridor. L If construction of Highway 212 proc::eds in a series of suges, and results in a temporary tennination of the highway in Chanhassen, our existing road infrastructure is insufficient to cope with the additional traffic without considerable investment and significant impact to our commwúty. Since one of the major arguments for 212 is that it will serve to pass traffic through the cOmmunity. the entire length through our city should be built at one time. 2. We need to look at the overall tranSPOrtation needs on a regional level. The Southwest Corñdor Transportation Coalition is championing the completion of Highway 212, but this is only one element in the broader context of regional ttansponation. We should stanñghtnow to coordinate thesi: needs. Member cities and counties should appoint representatives to work with MnDOT to craft a well fhought out comprehensive pIan. 3. Major upgrading of Highway 494 must be funded in order to cope with the increased traffic and congestion. - - Mr. Robert 1. Lindan September 30. 1998 Page 2 4_ As MnDOT points out, this highway has been on the books for a long time. It is highly Jikcly that since this mad Vo/IlS oñginaUy proposed, newappmaches and IICW -"oIogy have become available for transportation design, including but not limiIP-d to. Light Rail Transport, advancc:d concepts in mass transit, and new concepts in highway design theory. We would like come honest effort put into looking at viable a111:ma1ives and enhancements to the cUIIent traditional , design. We don't want to see a "394-like" highway dividing our city. 5. We would like to see a renewed comnûtment to public involvement. ("h"nh"ssen believes that important issues that affect our city should be open and accessible throughout the process. As pressure builds to move forward with aspects of 212 planning and right-of-way acquisition, we will schedule regular public input meetings to re-examine, re-study, and re-think how and when to proceed and what the design and character should be. In light of the above issues, the City of Chanhassen has taken the liberty of drafting and forwaniing a MOU it would wholeheanedly support and sign. Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN ~(f rÌ1~ Nancy K.
