NOTICE
This week, property owners will be mailed a
"Truth-in-Taxation" form. The notice is
required by a change in state statute. The
form will show that potential tax increases
may occur from the City (16% increase) , the
County (11% increase) and the school (9%
increase) . The form is misleading as:
0 The City Council has not adopted the tax
level shown. By contrast, the Council
has stated that there will not be a tax
increase in 1991; and
1 o The amount shown in the form is the
City's levy limit as set by the state.
Any city publishing a tax less than the
state maximum will have their taxes
reduced to that lower level for all
11 following years. However, in the past
ten years the City has never taxed to the
maximum level. The City will not tax to
this maximum for 1991; and
o The City's budget hearing dates have been
set for December 3 and 10, 1990. As of
this date, neither city staff nor the
City Council know what level of tax will
be set for 1991. However, a preliminary
budget has been drafted which reflects no
property tax increase.
The points presented in this notice pertain
11 solely to the City of Chanhassen, although we
believe that they are also true for the county
and school district. Persons interested in
additional information or who have additional
questions are encouraged to contact City Hall,
690 Coulter Drive, 937-1900.

Re: County Road 17/West 78th Street Haul Road
Trunk Highway 5 Improvements , S.P. 2701-34 (TH 5 )
City Project No. 88-28A
Dear Bud:
This to acknowledge the conclusions reached at our meeting on
Friday, November 2 , 1990 concerning the traffic congestion with
' hauling vehicles at County Road 17 and West 78th Street. It was
concluded that the City would be willing to allow Shafer' s
vehicles to use eastbound West 78th Street and Market Boulevard
for their haul route from the bridge embankment fill site with
the understanding that your drivers will adhere to the 30 mile
per hour speed limit in this area and with the further
understanding that Shafer will see to it that the roadway is kept
11 clean of all haul material . Any damages to City utilities and
curbings and/or excessive amounts of debris deposited in our
storm sewer system resulting from the hauling activity will be
corrected by Shafer at the conclusion of the project at no
expense to the City. Similarly, on Lake Drive East the City is
happy to permit the continued use of this road by Shafer as a
haul road providing the road is kept clean and any damage
repaired including storm sewer debris removed.
You also agreed that County Road 17 and the intersection of West
78th Street would be swept clean. My recent inspection of the
site on Friday afternoon confirmed that this has already been
done. Thank you. Further, it was concluded that since the use
of water on your dirt haul road will in all likelihood aggravate
the transport of clay materials from the site, it was thought
best that a calcium chloride treatment be done on this haul road
to keep the dust down and solidify the haul road surface. This
should help to control mud during periods of precipitation as
well as dust. If this does not work, it may become necessary to
construct a construction access/runout area of gravel prior to

RE: National Radon Action Week
Dear Ms. Heegard,
11 It is my pleasure to report to you that efforts by Chanhassen Public Safety &
Chanhassen Mayor Don Clmiel made National Radon Action Week an overwhelming sue-
t cess. The American Lung Association of Minnesota is to be commended for their
support of programming such as ours, and we certainly appreciate the personal
assistance provided by you.
Attached please find copies of newspaper articles that appeared during the week
of October 14-20.
Our Building Inspection Department then fielded calls that we received in
response to this publicity.
Both the City Council and the Public Safety Commission received their alpha
track detectors, along with t-shirts, bumper stickers, magnets, hats, etc. , and
Building Official Steve Kirchman will be following up with them when it is time
to have their radon detectors analyzed.
Information that you provided to us in the form of literature and other adver-
tising material was distributed aggressively by our staff.
I do believe it is fair to say that all of our 12,000 residents were exposed to
the informatio. 'n one form or another. For that, we all thank you! We look
forward t •. cipati ! in the educational program again next year.

Dear Mr. Ashworth:
In behalf of the City of Victoria, I would like to thank you and the City of
Chanhassen for providing animal control services to Victoria this past year.
The animal control services have been handled very professionally by your
staff. We have found this service to be delivered in a responsive and
effective manner. Interestingly, by taking a proactive stance through weekly
patrol , we have seen the number of animal complaints decrease in the past year.
I look forward to our Cities continued working relationship in the next year.

RE: Moon Valley v. City of Chanhassen
IIDear Paul:
1 As you know, Moon Valley has commenced a declaratory judgment
action against the City contending that the City does not have the
right to regulate it. You asked me to outline the probable course
1 of the litigation.
1. Venue. The plaintiff has filed the suit in Hennepin
County. We are attempting to have it moved to Carver County. The
11 judge who has been assigned the case is out of town for three
weeks. We will probably have an answer to this issue in six weeks.
We will take no further action until this is resolved.
II2. Motion to Dismiss. We intend to file a motion to dismiss
arguing that the Complaint failed to state a cause of action. If
the motion is unsuccessful, discovery and a trial will follow.
I3. Counterclaim. The City's new mining ordinance gives
operating mines six months to apply for a permit. The six month
1 period will run out on November 25, 1990. Assuming they have not
applied for and received a permit by that time, we will file a
counterclaim seeking to close them down until they do receive a
IIpermit.

DATE: November 1, 1990
SUBJ: Citizen Compliment
1 Councilman Workman recently had a conversation with one of the
family members of Mrs. Wegler who lives on Lake Minnewashta.
Apparently Mrs. Wegler has a lingering illness and had a severe
attack this past Saturday evening. Family members contacted 911
and were deeply concerned with her life. Response occurred within
2-3 minutes by the Carver County Sheriff's Department, Waconia
Paramedics and the Chanhassen Fire Department. The Wegler family
' was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism shown by all
three departments and the coordinated efforts that each provided.
Councilman Workman asked that I pass this compliment on to the
' Carver County Sheriff's Department, Chanhassen Fire Department and
Waconia Paramedics. In behalf of the City, we sincerely appreciate
your continued efforts in helping our citizens in times of need.

RE: Continuation of Animal Control Services
II
Dear Don:
II want to officially advise you that the City of Shorewood has been
very pleased with the Animal Control services provided by your
II Public Safety Department over the past year. In fact, the service
has reduced complaints in City Hall considerably and solved several
long-standing animal control problems.
II The character and demeanor of your Officers is as much - or more -
of an asset as the patrol itself. The Shorewood City Council and
staff are 100% behind the program and sincerely hope the City of
II Chanhassen continues to provide the service through the contract
term, at least.
Shorewood is also interested in additional patrol should other
II cities want to reduce hours or your staff can support it.
Please advise me if additional patrol is possible and keep me
posted on your budget deliberations; so that we may fill in the
Ibottom line before our November 26 budget hearing.
Thank you very much. Please pass on our commitment to and
II satsifaction with the Animal Control services to your City Council
and staff!

Proposal to Provide Final Design Services
Dear Mr. Warren:
IIIn accordance with the City of Chanhassen's request, we have prepared for
consideration and review a revised fee estimate to extend the four-lane
section of TH 5 an additional 2.2 miles west.
IIThis financial proposal conforms to the format outlined in the Request for
Proposal and Scope of Services dated (revised) October 2, 1990. The major
scope changes from an earlier' edition lie in the areas of traffic signals,
landscaping, utilities, and CADD. For the purposes of this agreement,
computer-related costs have been applied to the overhead rate which is subject
Ito post-project audit.
Attached is a graphic which depicts the key personnel assigned to this
project. Many of the staff assigned to this project have been involved in the
I other TH 5 projects to the east. This team has been retained for continuity
purposes.
II Also attached is a critical path timeline for the project which identifies key .
milestones and checkpoints during the design phase. A review of this schedule
shows that approximately a 15 month time frame is required for preparation of
I the contract documents. It also itemizes key MnDOT responsibilities and
deliverables.
