I COUYTY Of CAI VEQ iApril 18, 1989 City of Chanhassen 1 ATTN: JoAnn Olsen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen MN 55317 1 Dear Recycler, Well, 1988 has past and we made significant strides in recycling 1 in the County. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication in this endeavor. None of our achievements would have been possible without your participation. The County exceeded its source separation goal of 8 %, and we are Ilooking to surpass our 1989 goal of 11 % as well. I am sending you, with this letter, copies of the 1988 program 1 description (Appendix A) , a new ledger sheet for 1989, and a notification form of how much you recycled in 1988, and how much you have coming in the $ 4 per ton rebate program. Pleases double check the figures and call me if you find any discrepancies or 1 errors. To receive the amount listed, fill in those areas indicated by the red x's. As soon as all the forms are received back, we will send out the checks to you in the amounts indicated. 1 We are hoping that the 1988 recycling legislation presently under consideration in the State House and Senate will provide I increased funding for the 1989-90 calendar year. For this reason, we are not specifically defining the type of rebate program which will be in place for 1989. I am quite sure that you can plan on getting at least the same $ 4 per ton, but with II increased funding, we might be able to expand the program in some manner. As soon as information becomes available, and a new program is devised, you will be contacted. 1 . Once again, thanks for your efforts, and please call if you have any questions. Good luck in 1989! I � nc�rely, : �i I Richard Schneider Recycling Coordinator Carver County I _ APR 19 1989 I Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer CITY.OF CHANHASSEN I APPENDIX A ' CARVER COUNTY $4 PER TON RECYCLING REBATE PROGRAM I This program represents the Carver County performance-based fund- ing system for residential materials recycled. This program was devised as a result of stipulations placed in the Metropolitan Council 's Local Recycling Development Grant given to Carver County for 1988 , requiring such a system. This appendix will ex- plain the program as it applies to the residential recyclers in Carver County. The County will pay a $4 per ton rebate annually to cities , townships, organizations , or persons for residential materials recycled from Carver County. The monies will be disseminated directly to the cities , townships , organizations or persons providing the recycling service. The County will require that a recycling ledger form be filled out at least annually by the recycler specifying the types and amounts of materials recycled. Dated documentation from the redemption center or final market site where the materials were brought must be supplied to be eligible for this $4 per ton rebate program. Copies of the receipts will suffice for the Countys' purposes. Documentation should be sent to: Richard Schneider Dept. of Environmental Services 600 E. 4th St. Carver County Courthouse Chaska, Minn. 55318 Residentially recycled materials eligible for this funding are as follows: , Newspaper Glass Mixed metal Household goods Waste oil • Aluminum Steel beverage cans Corrugated (Cardboard) Tin Clothing Waste paper Plastics To be eligible for the rebate, the city, township, organization or person(s) must have recycled a minimum of 1 ton of material during the calendar year. (This minimum will go into effect beginning calendar year 1989 . ) Every entity that exceeds the 1 1 1 1 ton minimum will receive a minimum payment of $ 50 . 00 for a calendar year. 1989 documentation must be received by February 15 , 1990 . This program is subject to change depending on the needs of the County to correspond to requirements from higher governmental agencies or authorities. i I I I 1 1 I I I 1 2 CARVER COUNTY RECYCLING CERTIFICATION FORM 1988 RECYCLING REBATE I DATE — Zg-8Cl CARVER COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CARVER COUNTY COURTHOUSE CHASKA, MN. 55318 � I , � � v)- } A of C,Ay d (name , title ) ( town, municipality, organ. ) , do hereby certify that the attached tonnage summary form and as- sociated documentation , report tons of recyciables collected from I residential sources within the County boundaries beginning January 1 , 1988 and ending December 31 , 1988 , and that those ton- nages were , to my knowledge , subsequently recycled.

Previously, the City Council and Park and Recreation Commission walked the site with Al Klingelhutz , at which time it was thought that the lake lots across the street from Bandimere Heights Park were for sale II as well . At Saturday' s meeting, Al said the land was approximately 34 I acres and the asking price was $210 ,000 . He said he had been mistaken about the lake lots and it was not the lot across Kiowa Trail from the small park we currently own, but a lot further down and it had sold. Some of the Council Members and 1 Commissioners felt that it was the lake lot that made the Bandimere farm an attractive site. 1 At that point Al indicated that Sever Peterson was willing to sell property as well and Councilwoman Dimler asked Sever to come and explain his proposal . Sever indicated that if he had his II druthers , he would keep the land and farm site. However, due to the Highway 212 alignment he is willing to sell . He currently has 120 acres . The Eden Prairie landfill is interested in mining the clay on the property for a price yet undetermined. As I Highway 212 will be absorbing a portion of the land there is approximately 75 acres available to the City. Sever is willing to sell all or a portion of it for $6 ,500/acre. 1 The Council and Commission discussed this site; however, due to drastic topography, the non-central location, etc. , they felt 1 that the Bandimere farm would be a more suitable park site. The Council unanimously acted to authorize Al Klingelhutz to make an offer on the 34 acre Bandimere farm of $200 , 000 with $2 , 000 down as earnest money. They directed Al to make the offer contingent 1 upon the seller having the site surveyed . 1 Don Ashworth May 1 , 1989 Page 2 The Council also acted to authorize Al to enter into negotiations to purchase the vacant lots on Lake Riley, located directly across the street from Bandimere Heights Park. I Since that time the Bandimere family has accepted the offer of $200,000 for the 34 acres. The Park and Recreation Commission has held a meeting with the Bandimere Heights neighborhood. The general consensus of the neighborhood is that they are in favor of the farm site being a park. However, they were opposed to the purchase of the lake lots for parkland. To date, I have not heard from Al as to the availability of the lakeshore property. This is simply to update you as to the proceedings that have taken place to date. I will proceed with preparing a sketch plan for the site to determine if it will accommodate youth athletic facilities . Please let me know_if further research is needed on this item. cc: Southern Parkland File I I 1 I I I I I 1 -n� l N_i�C 0- : ILAW OFFICES GRANNIS, GRANNIS, FARRELL & KNUTSON DAVID 1..

When the job description was put together with Dale Gregory and I, we concluded that the job description is more accurately represented by the Park Keeper title used in the Stanton Report. In keeping with the City ' s policy of making positions available to existing employees we posted the attached notice of job opening and job description on March 21, 1989 with applications closing March 31 , I 1989 . We received one applicant for this opening from Charles Eiler who currently works in the Utility Department. On review of his application and resume it turns out that Charlie ' s schooling background and interest was in arboriculture type services and he is very much interested in pursuing this opportunity. I have had discussions with Jerry Boucher concerning this transfer and Jerry has been understanding and supportive of Charlie working in his area of interest. On April 5 , 1989 , Dale and I sat down and formally interviewed Charlie for the position. Dale feels that he will be a very suitable candidate to fill the position, It is therefore my recommendation that this transfer be made. Charlie is at a salary grade III which is compatible with the ' current opening and therefore he would be transferred at his current salary and eligible for review January 1, 1990 . I have indicated to all parties that Charlie ' s actual work respon- sibilities would continue in the Utility Department until such time as Jerry Boucher is able to replace him, hopefully in the next five to six weeks . It was also discussed that Charlie would assist the Utility Department based on his experience on an "as-available" basis after the replacement has been hired which I •1 Don Ashworth 1 April 5 , 1989 Page 2 would give us a little bit of redundancy to cover all the bases with the demands which are placed on the Utility Department. Charlie and Dale are agreeable to this and Charlie' s Park Keeper/ Equipment Operator job description will be tailored by Dale to include an appropriate reference to this arrangement. On the presumption that the above arrangements meet with your approval , I have informed Jerry Boucher that he should commence immediately with running ads for hiring a Utility Operator to I replace Charlie. cc: Jean Meuwissen, Treasurer I Dale Gregory, Park Foreman Jerry Boucher, Utility Superintendent Charlie Eiler , Utility Operator Personnel File 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 CITY OF 11 l CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P O.

FROM: Randy Johnson RE: Plastic Recycling There has been a great deal of recent publicity about the Minneapolis ordinance that purportedly bans plastic food packaging. Some suburban cities are considering similar ordinances. I believe that for both environmental and economic reasons, a better approach is to recycle plastic. Unlike newsprint, there is a strong and growing local demand for recycled plastic that is separated by resin. That is why I introduced a resolution at the April 18th County Board meeting to require cities in Hennepin County to collect plastic (in addition to aluminum, glass and newsprint) in order to remain eligible for the county's recycling cost reimbursement program. At my request, the resolution was referred to the April 28 meeting of the Public Service Committee and to our Recycling Task Force. I expect the County Board to enact this significant change to our recycling program early next year, to be effective only after our Materials Recovery Facility is operating and densification equipment for collection trucks is available. Council Member Steve Cramer, who authored the Minneapolis ordinance announced that he supports my proposal although he may still want to ban some packaging. Enclosed for your information are copies of a news release, questions and answers about plastic recycling, and some information that has been printed in newspapers. REJ:sls Enclosures I I RANDY JOHNSON �yiM PHONE � / COMMISSIONER 612-348-3088 Iv, oo p TDD 348-7708 4rlN.E50� BOARD OF HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 2400 GOVERNMENT CENTER MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55487 NEWS RELEASE 1 "RECYCLE PLASTIC - DON'T THROW IT AWAY AND DON'T BAN IT" Next year at this time Hennepin County residents will be recycling plastic, and all the talk of a so-called plastic ban will be a distant memory predicted by Hennepin County Commissioner Randy Johnson. I At Tuesday's Hennepin County Board meeting Commissioner Randy Johnson will introduce a major amendment to the county's source separation ordinance and recycling reimbursement plan. It will require cities to collect plastic as part of their curbside recycling programs in order to remain eligible for the county's generous 50% to 80% cost 11 reimbursement. One result of adding plastic to the three materials already being collected (glass, newspaper and aluminum) will be, in effect, to supercede the Minneapolis ordinance that purportedly bans some food and beverage plastic packaging. That ordinance exempts from its ban any material that is collected in a recycling program. "The fact is that plastic is much too valuable to throw away - and it is also much too valuable to ban. Plastic can and ought to be recycled," said Johnson. I "For example, to an end user, aluminum is worth about $1200 per ton, glass is worth about $50 per ton, and newsprint is - or was - worth about $20 per ton. Meanwhile, properly separated and ground plastic can be sold locally for $200 to $600 per ton. But local companies have to buy it from recyclers in cities hundreds of miles away because we are not collecting it yet in our own recycling programs," explained Johnson. Johnson said he chose to introduce the amendment adding plastic to the collected recyclables at this time for several reasons. "First, the county board soon will be issuing a Request for Proposals 11 to operate a "Materials Recovery Facility" that will separate and prepare recyclables - including plastics - and sell them to the appropriate users. (over) I 1 Recycle Plastic April 17, 1989 i Page 2 "Second, just a few weeks ago the State Pollution Control Agency took two major steps forward to encourage recycling plastic rather than banning it. The PCA proposed regulations to adopt a plastic coding system developed by the plastic industry to help recyclers identify the different plastic resins. "In addition, the PCA awarded a $40,000 grant to a private company to explore the feasibility of building a plastic resin recovery facility in Minnesota. "The third reason to begin to recycle plastic is illustrated by the tons of newspaper we now see piling up every day in Twin Cities recycling programs. "It proves the overriding importance of making sure there is a real market for what we collect. Nothing is recycled until somebody, somehow, somewhere, actually takes the material and re-uses it," Johnson said. "Unfortunately, the past focus of Twin Cities recycling programs has been almost entirely on increasing the supply of materials that residents separate out for collection. Now we know those "supply side garbologists" were wrong. We must focus our recycling efforts on materials like plastic for which there is a strong and growing market, and we must work at creating new markets for materials such as newsprint." After discussion at the Tuesday board meeting, Johnson said he will ask that this change in policy be reviewed by the county's recycling task force. He said that the amendment adding plastic to the list of recyclables should take effect only after the county's Materials 11 Recovery Facility is operating early next year, and only after the county board has determined that, if necessary, a portable "on board" compactor is commercially available for local recycling collection trucks. If all 47 cities in Hennepin County decide to continue to participate 11 in the county's recycling cost reimbursement program, Johnson said that Hennepin County will have the most extensive plastic recycling program in the nation next year. He pointed out that any city could still opt out of the county's reimbursement plan and continue down the path of banning plastic, but for Minneapolis that would mean turning down nearly $2 million next year. We are giving the cities the opportunity - and a very strong financial incentive - to recycle plastic and I hope they respond positively. RANDY JOHNSON y1N o PHONE COMMISSIONER �(�G•y 612-348-3088 W TDD 348-7708 VNESO BOARD OF HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 2400 GOVERNMENT CENTER MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55487 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT COMMISSIONER RANDY JOHNSON'S PLASTIC RECYCLING INITIATIVE , Question: What exactly is Randy proposing to do in order to recycle plastic? I Answer: Under state law and municipal ordinances, cities are primarily responsible for deciding how to collect recyclable material within their boundaries. Hennepin County has overall authority for managing solid waste. The county's funding assistance policy reimburses a city for up to 80% of its recycling costs if the program meets the county's guidelines. Randy's proposal would add plastic to the three materials (aluminum, glass and newsprint) that a city recycling program already must collect to remain eligible for reimbursement. Question: How does the plastic recycling proposal affect the highly publicized Minneapolis ordinance that might ban some plastic packaging next year? Answer: The Minneapolis ordinance exempts from the ban any material that is being collected in a recycling program. Thus, if Minneapolis wants to remain eligible for county reimbursement, it will collect plastic instead of banning it. Of course, the city could choose to turn down the county's reimbursement and proceed to ban plastic instead of recycling it. (The city's 1988 reimbursement was $1,421,144 and the amounts for other cities are attached.) Question: Won't „t this recycle plastic instead of banning it plan pit the county against the city on recycling? Answer: Not at all. Minneapolis councilmembers who authored the ban have acknowledged that their real goal is to increase recycling. Now they will have the opportunity - and financial incentive - to do so. Councilmember Steve Cramer, author of the Minneapolis ordinance, supports the plan to collect plastic, although he still may want to ban some packaging. Question: What is the source of money for the county's recycling reimbursement 1 plan? Answer: None of it comes from property taxes! To date, funds have come from I interest earnings from bond proceeds. In June, the funding will come from a surcharge on non-recycled waste sent to landfills and the waste-to-energy plants. (over) I ' Plastic Recycling Initiative Page 2 Question: Are plastics really recyclable? Answer: Definitely yes. Of the five basic types of resins used in most consumer plastic packaging, four of them are in strong demand by local plastic companies who can reduce costs and maintain quality 1 by mixing the recycled resins with virgin resins in manufacturing their products. ' Question: What are the most readily recyclable plastics? Answer: High-density polyethylene (H.D.P.E.) is the most widely used plastic resin. It is used for rigid containers such as milk jugs and household product containers. Polyethylene terephthalate (P.E.T.) is used in rigid containers, often for soft drinks. It can be recycled into many diverse applications such as soft drink base cups, strapping, paint brushes, geotextiles, carpets, shower stalls, and boat hulls. Polystyrene (PS) is used most often as a foam for cups, trays and fast food containers. In its solid form, PS is used for cutlery. Recycled PS is in demand for use as an energy-saving insulation board. Polypropylene (PP) has many applications, including snack food packaging, and it is often interchanged with polyethylene or polystyrene. Question: How will plastics be recycled? Answer: Hennepin County will be contracting with a private company to operate a Materials Recovery Facility that will separate collected recyclables including plastics and sell the materials to the appropriate end-user. Most plastics can be separated by resin through hand sorting, or by using established mechanical or chemical technologies, and then washed and ground into chips for shipment. Plastic packaging that contains unidentified or mixed resins can be co-mingled and used for relatively "low-tech" applications such as landscape timbers, car stops, road sign markers, etc. Question: A Star Tribune editorial claimed that the plastics covered by the Minneapolis ordinance should be banned because they cause problems in landfills and harmful emissions in municipal incinerators. Is the editorial accurate? Answer: No, the Star Tribune is wrong. Although plastic buried in a landfill does not decompose for hundreds of years, the fact is that hardly anything under the top few feet in a landfill decomposes. In fact, the stability of plastic in a landfill means that it contributes neither to leachate nor methane production. 1 Plastic Recycling Initiative Page 3 1 As for incineration, over 90% of the plastic in the waste stream, and I virtually all of the food packaging, contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Under federal law, plastic food packaging cannot contain heavy metals. Even incineration of polyvinylchlorides (PVC) does not yield dioxins/furans when properly combusted. Question: How much of our garbage is plastic? i Answer: According to a recent Environmental Protection Agency study, plastics make up only 7% of the waste stream by weight. However, plastics may constitute nearly 30% of the waste stream by volume. Question: What are the disadvantages of a broad plastic packaging ban? Answer: For many applications, consumers prefer plastic packaging. Families with children understand that plastic bottles and jars do not break into sharp fragments. Others prefer the lighter weight or microwaveability. Also, many plastic containers, such as butter or margarine tubs and ice cream buckets, are re-used indefinitely for many common household purposes. I Question: Will anybody pay for the plastic that is collected in a recycling program, or will we have a glut like we now have with separated newspapers? Answer: The local market for recycled plastic separated by resin is strong and growing. For comparison, end users of the three materials now collected for recycling in Hennepin County pay approximately the following amounts: aluminum $1200 per ton; glass $50 per ton; newsprint $20 per ton (but there is an excess of supply and the price throughout the nation is dropping quickly) . Recycled plastic separated by resin can be sold for the equivalent of $200 to $600 per ton. Question: What are the practical problems in recycling plastic? Answer: The advantages of plastic packaging - its durability and capacity to enclose a large volume of product with very light weight - can raise difficulties in collection. In short, a recycling collection truck can fill up very quickly with plastic containers that weigh very little, and end-users of recycled plastic pay for resins based on weight. However, the new "on-board" portable compactors should be commercially available near the end of the year, and some preliminary plastic collection programs have indicated that asking residents simply to "stamp" on most plastic containers achieves sufficient densification. (over) mm Plastic Recycling Initiative Page 4 Question: Why did the county wait until now to make public this information ' about the value and recyclability of plastic? Answer: In fact, the county's plan to accept plastic at its Materials Recovery Facility has been discussed publicly for the past year. Commissioner Johnson also provided this information at public hearings before both the Minneapolis and St. Paul city councils before they voted on their plastic "ban." Question: When would Randy's proposal to include plastics as a recyclable material for collection take effect? Answer: This new recycling initiative requires an amendment of the county's funding assistance policy and perhaps even the county's source separation ordinance. Moreover, Randy has asked that the new policy be reviewed by the county's Recycling Task Force, composed of public officials and concerned citizens. In all likelihood, plastic will begin to be accepted for collection shortly after the Materials Recovery ' Facility opens early next year.

The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) is planning to expand the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment (Blue Lake) Plant in Shakopee, in cooperation with 22 western suburban communities. The Blue Lake Plant serves approximately 150, 000 people in the following communities: Chanhassen, Deephaven, Eden Prairie, Excelsior, Greenwood, Lakewood Township, Long Lake, Maple Plain, Minnetonka, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Prior Lake, St. Bonifacius, Shakopee, Shorewood, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Victoria, Waconia, and Wayzata. 2. The $56 million plant expansion will increase the plant's treatment capacity of 24 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) to 32 mgd to meet the needs of population growth in the western suburbs. The expansion will also upgrade treatment processes to meet stricter federal and state standards, and improve water quality for the Minnesota River. 3 . Plant expansion construction work is expected to begin in early 1989 and be completed in the fall of 1992 . Plans for expansion include adding treatment units and rehabilitating existing facilities. Treatment processes will also be added for removing chlorine and adding oxygen to treated wastewater before it is released into the river. 4 . Timely expansion of the Blue Lake Plant was included in a 1987 agreement between the MWCC, Metropolitan Council, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The purpose of the agreement was to meet more stringent water quality standards for the Minnesota River as rapidly as possible. The agreement also includes a $2 million program to study sources of non- point source pollution (a contributing factor to water pollution that can't be traced to a specific spot - like agricultural fertilizer runoff, or sediment from construction) . The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has filed a lawsuit against the three local agencies for not meeting more stringent standards by July 1, 1988 . The three local agencies maintain that, since the new standards were not known until 1987, expansion of the Blue Lake Plant could not have developed any more rapidly than the current schedule. -over- EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER 5. Located in the City of Shakopee, the Blue Lake Plant was built to eliminate wastewater discharges into Lake Minnetonka. The original plant, constructed in 1970, consisted of aerated ponds. In 1973 , primary treatment, secondary treatment and chlorination were added. Equipment for thickening sludge (the solid material that remains after primary and secondary treatment of wastewater) was added to the plant in 1987. 6. MWCC plans to expand the Blue Lake Plant on its current 72 acre site. The plant is one of 11 treatment plants owned and operated by the MWCC and has 34 employees. The Blue Lake Plant discharges its effluent (treated wastewater) into the Minnesota River. 7. Primary and secondary treatment processes are used to treat wastewater at the Blue Lake Plant. In primary treatment, screens and settling tanks separate sand, grit, and larger solids from the wastewater, removing 50 percent of the pollutants. In secondary treatment, wastewater is aerated to stimulate natural bacteria, which consume up to 90 percent of the remaining organic pollutants. Disinfection kills remaining bacteria before the water is released into the environment. Sludge is transported from the Blue Lake Plant to MWCC's Seneca Plant in Eagan or Metro Plant in St. Paul for further treatment, including incineration. 8. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission is charged with collecting and treating the wastewater of the Twin Cities area, while preserving and protecting the environment. The MWCC serves 105 communities and treats more than 275 million gallons of sewage per day. The MWCC is governed by a board of Commissioners who set the agency's policy and represent geographic precincts throughout the seven-county metro area. DKW:cmj 3/23/89 I.

Lake Ann Park and South Lotus Lake Park: We are once again charged with the responsibility for opening and closing the gates at both Lake Ann Park and South Lotus Lake Park. The gates at both parks will be manned by students at different hours all through the week during the summer beginning at the end of May. It will fall upon public safety to make sure that the gates are opened at 0600 hours and closed at 2200 hours. There will be times when the gates may have already been opened by the Park and Recreation Department or early arriving gate attendants . It is still our responsibility to check and make sure that the gates are opened at the proper times , however. Open Close South Lotus Lake Park 0600 2200 Lake Ann Park 0600 2200 REMINDER: Once again, the Lake Ann gate attendant will be collecting park fees at the gate and could at some point have substantial amounts of money.

If there are any problems associated with the park involving these organizations, this information can be obtained from these forms . 5. Sprinkling Restrictions: At the Council meeting on April 24, 1989 , the City Council authorized the restriction of sprinkling to an odd/even schedule. There will be no hours attached to this schedule, just an odd/even address-type of control. In conjunction with these odd/even restrictions, there will be permits issued to individuals or groups with special concerns. Please monitor and if an individual is seen watering in violation of the odd/even schedule, please note and we will make contact. These restrictions will not go into effect until May 1, 1989. Thank you for your cooperation and continued work efforts in helping us to alleviate some of the law enforcement problems in Chanhassen. I look forward to a busy and productive summer and please stop in if you have any questions or concerns. , . 44... :(-',aj- c.

City Manager DATE: April 28 , 1989 SUBJ: Park Land Acquisition Attached you will find a recent article from the Eden Prairie News paper dated Wednesday, April 26 , 1989. This article is in regard to the City of Eden Prairie ' s proposal to buy 24 acres of unsewered property on Lake Riley for park purposes. The City of Eden Prairie is proposing to offer $410 ,000 for 24 acres, at $17 ,000 per acre. Comparing this to the City of Chanhassen ' s offer of $200 , 000 for 34 acres, at $6 , 000 per acre, it would appear that we have reached a fair and equitable price for the Bandimere farm. Both you and the search committee should be commended for your efforts in negotiating the acquisitions of the proposed park site. Again -- congratulations ! City raises offer for ' Jacques land The city of Eden Prairie has raised l its offer to buy 24 acres of property C on Riley Lake from $277,000 to $410,000, based on the increasing I price of undeveloped land in south- r west EP. C. The city is seeking the property, tc owned by Elaine Jacques, in order to expand Riley-Lake Park. The city t has been awarded a LAWCON grant that would pay.50 percent of the 4 land's appraised value. Of the city's -- -*—,.y.. share, $180,000 was included in the '4'-",-.d-.,.- -.:x^� - - _ park bond referendum held Tuesday; t �� `4' 3.‘..,),AY; the balance would be paid with cash r . �.

The Eden Prairie City Council last week agreed to offer that price to the owner. City officials said the review was needed because the grant covers 50 percent of the appraisal rather than 50 percent of the actual purchase nce. The city has until the end of. June to utilize the grant. CHANHASSEN H.R.A.

In terms of the permit that you referred to in your letter of April 27 , 1989 , I am uncertain as to what document is desired. Our permit files are by parcel and, accordingly, all information regarding Instant Web, its construction, inspections , etc. , are all maintained within one file. I am confident that either the Planning or Building Departments could help you in finding all information which may be relevant. Again, without knowing speci- fically what it is that is being sought, I am having difficulty in simply asking one of our people to directly provide you with the information. I would suggest that Mr. Ekblad further discuss this issue with PCA and attempt to identify the document or docu- ments which may be needed. The City stands ready to review your building file with Mr. Ekblad in an attempt to find that document(s) needed by PCA. Sincerely, ./(Z:2 r}.)

Dave also asked if I remembered whether or not we had signed covenants with the City, because the State was inquiring about those possible covenants. I told him I felt we had and then asked my secretary to look for them. We have been unable to locate the paperwork, and I am wondering if you would be kind enough to check your files and send us a copy of those covenants. Obviously, Don, it is not our corporate personality or desire to be in violation of covenants or State emission controls. The State asked Dave if we had a permit from the City and we do not. Apparently, it may be necessary and important that we receive a per- mit from the City in order to run our heatset web presses. About 30% of our sales and, therefore, employment is based upon our ability to run heatset web equipment. We have a huge investment in our equipment, and running our presses is fundamental to the contin- ivation of our business. It would be appreciated if you could give us some direction relative to the proper procedures that we need to apparently follow in order to receive the appropriate permit.
