WATER RESOURCES UPDATE
November 2005
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: Lori Haak, Water Resources Coordinator
DATE: November 30, 2005
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE
Yosemite Neighborhood
The preliminary storm water assessment for the Yosemite/West 63rd Street
neighborhood is complete. The results of the assessment were passed along to
Bolton and Menk, who will be the consultant for the remainder of the project.
Public Input and Involvement
Four of six SWMP update task force meetings have been held. One or two
more meetings (seven or eight total) may be necessary to achieve all the goals
set for the task force. Staff will run any additional meetings to stay on budget.
The technical committee, composed of federal, state and local government
personnel, will be having their first meeting on December 1, 2005.
Overall Progress and Funding
Staff met with Ron Leaf from SEH on November 16 regarding the Surface
Water Management Plan Update storm water infrastructure inventory. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of the project and about the
areas where the numbers have exceeded estimates and therefore the costs
exceeded contract amounts.
The original estimate, included in the City’s Request for Proposals, for
numbers of wetlands inventoried was 400. At present, SEH has inventoried
420 wetlands, 20 more than anticipated. The cost per wetland from SEH's
original proposal was approximately $105. Using that figure would result in
an additional $2,100 for that task.
The original estimate, included in the City’s Request for Proposals, for
numbers of storm water structures inventoried was 4,500. Since the City’s
1994 SWMP did not include a structure inventory, an estimate was developed
using miles of street or city size (in square miles) and the number of structures
in cities with inventories (Burnsville and Eden Prairie).
As of November 16, SEH had inventoried approximately 5,650 structures.
They anticipate the total number being in the 6,100 to 6,500 range. This is

November 30, 2005
1,600 to 2,000 more than originally estimated. The cost per structure from SEH's original
proposal was approximately $24 per structure. However, about 1/3 of the total structures
are located on private property, in parking lots or other places that were difficult to access
with survey equipment during standard business hours. SEH indicated that they plan to
request an additional 50% for those structures ($36 per structure). Using $36 per
structure for 2,000 structures would result in an additional $72,000 for that task.
(Currently, SEH estimates that their overall cost for the entire inventory has actually been
about $46 per structure.)
Because two anticipated 2005 projects (Curry Farms Creek Drainageway Project and
Frontier Trail Beachlot Ponding Project (LL-P7.5)) were not undertaken in 2005, the
Surface Water Management Plan fund line item for consulting (720-4300) is capable of
funding additional costs. To date, $128,096 of the budgeted $820,000 has been
expended. With the outstanding costs from the original contract added to this amount,
the total anticipated expenditures for the year (not including any changes to the SWMP
update contract) are approximately $400,000.
Again, all estimates are preliminary. Staff has requested a letter from SEH with the final
numbers and the justification of any and all overages so the contract amendment can be
brought to the Council for their review and approval. Staff anticipates receipt of such a
letter no later than December 31.
LAKE RILEY BASIC WATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT
In December 2002, the cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie petitioned the Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) to undertake the water quality
improvements outlined in the Use Attainability Analyses (UAAs) for Rice Marsh Lake
and Lake Riley. This involves the construction and expansion of several storm water
ponds within the Rice Marsh Lake and Lake Riley subwatersheds in both Chanhassen
and Eden Prairie. Several of the ponds that were anticipated in the UAAs will be
constructed with the TH 212 project. The remaining ponds will be constructed or
expanded as part of this RPBCWD project.
The RPBCWD will be funding 100% of the design, construction and project management
costs for the project (estimated at $2,000,000). The cities of Chanhassen and Eden
Prairie will be responsible for 75% of all costs for land acquisition. Currently, most of
the improvements proposed in Chanhassen are on public property. However, the
RPBCWD has had appraisals conducted for two properties over which the City will
obtain easements. The total estimated costs for the easements are $160,000. This means
the City is responsible for approximately $120,000. The 2005 CIP includes $100,000 for
the Lake Riley/Rice Marsh Lake Improvements (Project #SWMP-020); the 2006 CIP
includes $75,000.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor
City Council
FROM: Greg Sticha, Finance Director
DATE: December 1, 2005
SUBJ: Truth in Taxation Hearing
The city budget for 2006 represents little change from the 2005 budget. I have
included my memo from the November 28, 2005 council work session in which
we discussed the 2006 budget and CIP in detail.
HIGHLIGHTS
Total budgeted expenditures in the general fund increase from $8,308,420 to
$8,900,100. Of this $591,680 increase, $285,000 is a use of general fund
reserves to be transferred to the debt service levy of the 1998A Park GO Bonds.
Of the remaining increase, $225,650 (74%) is for increased wages and benefits
to general fund employees, $20,000 for an increase in the police services
contract with Carver County, and a $61,000 increase for estimated additional
fuel and heating costs. These three items represent $305,650 (99.6%) of the
increase in the general fund budget.
The total levy for the City, including the general fund levy, a levy for the capital
replacement fund, a small levy for sealcoating, and all debt service levies, went
from $9,454,911 in 2005 to $9,354,890, which is an $84,864 or .8% decrease in
total levies from the prior year.
The effect this levy has on a $400,000 home in Chanhassen is about a $22.60 or
a 1.6% decrease from the prior year.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hold the public hearing for Truth-in-
Taxation on December 5, receive public input regarding the tax levy and budget,
close the public hearing, and adopt the proposed tax levy on December 12.
