There were no additions or corrections to the agenda. MOTION by Berg to approve the minutes of the December 8, 1997 regular Utility Commission meeting. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. APPROVE IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT #290 Civil Engineer Litterer gave an overview of the project. This project will have minor utility improvements, including watermain improvements required by the Comprehensive Plan and abandonment of the old sanitary sewer force main. The Commission had a brief discussion on the project and asked about the improvements to Winds Park. MOTION by Berg to approve the Utilities Plan for the Chippendale Avenue Street and Utility Improvements, City Project #290. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. APPROVE FOR 145TH STREET WEST STREET & UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS. CITY PROJECT #291 Again, Litterer gave an overview of the project. He explained that this would involve extending the storm sewer from Grief Brothers south to a low spot on the CIVIC property. Adding more catch basins and stubbing more improvements south and north of Grief Brothers will be accomplished with this project. The existing sanitary sewer lines along the south side of the road from the railroad tracks were televised. The results haven't been received yet, but Staff didn't feel there should be any problems. Easements will have to be acquired over the pond and storm sewer lines. The 16" existing watermain to the east will tie into the future CIVIC project. UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 12, 1998 MOTION by Waldoch to approve the Utilities Plan for 145th Street West Street and Utility Improvements, City Project #291. SECOND by Berg. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. An overview was presented by Civil Engineer Litterer. The sanitary sewer will flow south to Biscayne Avenue. The watermain on the north end will tie a 16" to an 8" on 145th Street and a 12" on Biscayne Avenue. The drainage will also flow to the south along Biscayne Avenue. MOTION by Berg to approve the Utilities Plan for the Enclave Addition Street & Utility Improvements, City Project #289. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. 5d. ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE UTILITY FUNDS City Engineer /Public Works Director Osmundson presented an overview of the ending balances for 1997. The review of the utility funds showed that they were hit hard over the past couple years because of the reconstruction projects. Although there . is a substantial build up in the Sewer Core Fund, next year the Brockway Draw Sanitary Sewer will delve into that account. When Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) phases out the treatment center it will probably "turnback" the existing interceptor to the City. At this point all funds are in decent shape so the Commission went on to discuss the different areas that need reconstructed in regards to water, sewer and storm drainage. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT -• -iliyafi • Birger Pond - Representatives from the City of Apple Valley, the Department of Natural Resources and our Staff met to discuss the upcoming project. The main concern was the water level of the pond. • County Road 46 - Nothing is really being done right now, however it will get going later this year. • 2 UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 12, 1998 • Brockway Draw Trunk Sanitary Sewer - This project is at a standstill right now waiting for the Eastview project to get Plat approval which will guide this project's alignment. • Town & Country Townhomes - This project is no longer a valid project. Another developer will be presenting a new concept plan in the future. • Wetland Management Ordinance - A proposed schedule is being developed and Staff should have a presentation sometime in either March or April. Prior to the meeting a letter from the Vermillion River Water Management Organization (VRWMO) was handed out. It spoke about the Stormwater Management Plan and BWSR's push to implement these plans. They are looking for an Advisory Committee which would meet every other month for roughly a year. These meetings would have a facilitator to run the meetings. Commissioner Waldoch will be listed as our representative on the Committee, however all Members and the Mayor are eligible to attend. SET NEXT MEETING AGENDA FOR FEBRUARY 9. 1998 • Organizational Meeting • Storm Water Management Plan (Ready for approval) • Broback Industrial Park > New Feasibility Report > 30 lots • The Village of Eastview > Feasibility Report MOTION by Mulhern to adjourn.

Executive Director Bud Osmundson administered the oath to newly reappointed Commission Member Donald Berg. Nominations were entertained for the position of President to the Utility Commission. MOTION by Berg to nominate Shawn Mulhern as President. SECOND by Waldoch. Osmundson asked if there were anymore nominations. MOTION by Berg to close nominations. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 2. By unanimous ballot Shawn Mulhern was re- elected as President of the Utility Commission. • Osmundson explained that the most senior member of the Utility Commission, after the President, will act as "Interim" President in the absence of the President, thus Commission Member Dave Waldoch will be "Interim" President. Interim President Waldoch called the meeting to order at 6:36 p.m. with Commission Member Berg, City Engineer /Public Works Director Osmundson, Civil Engineer Litterer and Water Resource Coordinator Brown present. There were no additions or corrections to the agenda, however the minutes of the January 12, 1998 meeting were pulled because of a motion which was made, however not completed. They will be presented again at the March 9, 1998 regular meeting. MOTION by Berg to set the 1998 Utility Commission meeting per the calendar attached, however moving the September meeting to the 8th due to a conflict with Labor Day. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 2. Nays: 0. • • UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 9, 1998 6b. COMPREHENSIVE WETLAND MANAGEMENT PLAN Water Resource Coordinator Brown reviewed the Wetland Management Plan and the proposed "Water Resources Management" Ordinance. This Plan lays out a strategy to manage the wetlands as a resource in the Community. The Ordinance will put all "water" regulations under one chapter. This was a discussion item only now, but will be acted upon in the future. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT • Public Hearings for Chippendale Avenue Improvements and 145th Street West Street & Utility Improvements were conducted. Work should start on these two projects in May.

ADOPT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN The Stormwater Management Plan was presented to the Commission which will serve the City as a guide for all future stormwater facilities. Commissioner Waldoch questioned the 10 year versus 100 year event design standards. All non -trunk facilities are designed to a 10 year event and all trunk facilities are designed to a 100 year event schedule which is the industry standard. This Plan fits in with the Wetland Plan and would probably be 5 -10 years before it would need to be updated. MOTION by Berg to adopt the February 1998 Stormwater Management Plan and recommend that the City Council adopt the same. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. 5b. COMPREHENSIVE WETLAND MANAGEMENT PLAN City Engineer /Public Works Director Osmundson and Tim Brown, Water Resource Coordinator, updated the Commission on the Comprehensive Wetland Management is Plan. UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 9, 1998 The second draft has gone to the City Attorney and MNBWSR. Osmundson and Brown attended a Wetland Delineator meeting in Bloomington. Where Cass County and Eden Prairie gave presentations regarding their Wetland Management Plans and the City's is as good or better. Mayor Busho suggested submitting the City Plan to the League of Minnesota Cities Award of Excellence. We would have to wait until it has been completed and approved by all processes. One of the major tasks with this Plan is educating the Public, especially on the use of fertilizers. There are a lot of ponds within the City of Rosemount and about 70% of the City has been categorized as to wetland type. 7. PRESIDENT'S REPORT President Mulhern and Commissioner Waldoch spoke very highly about the Minnesota Rural Water Association. They feel it would be a worthwhile conference for our utility personnel to attend. AWWA is starting to cooperate a little more with the Minnesota Rural Water Association. Commissioners feel that peer talk is a great way to learn. • 8. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT 8a. PROJECT UPDATE • Birger Pond Outlet - The Feasibility Report will be done soon. Maintenance costs are still to be determined. • Hawkins Pond - This project will be finished in the Spring along with Project Numbers 277 and 280. • Willner and McNamara are still on hold. • Shannon Pond East 1 st Addition is complete. • 160th Street - There will be a meeting next week at the County. • Biscayne Pointe - The pre- construction was held last week. • Brockway Draw - An alignment will have to be done first, prior to the Bloomfield Addition construction. • UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 9, 1998 • Town & Country, Phase I - Wensmann will possibly be developing south of the Walgreens store. • Shannon Pond South - This Addition will probably get underway this fall. It is located to the west of Shannon Pond. • The Enclave - A grading pre- construction meeting was held. Silt fencing will be placed and grading should start around the 31 st of March. • Chippendale /145th Street - These two projects are moving along. The plans have to be sent to MNDOT State Aid before it goes any further. • Bloomfield Addition- This is a CMC project. The first phase of this project has been approved and a Feasibility Report has been ordered. • Geronime Pond 2nd Addition - A petition will be going to Council next Tuesday at their regular Council meeting. • Business Park - There has been nothing new, however inquiries are always being • made. • Property for Water Treatment Plant - Bonestroo was looking into purchasing the property north of Wachter's. The property is owned by Carlsons and besides costing too much, it may be too narrow. The Wachter property is still the most feasible, however the City could look to the east of Highway 3 since Wachter's aren't interested in selling. • Metropolitan Council Environmental Services - The usage for 1997 was right on. Well #9 is pumping up to its potential. • New Vector Lease Agreement - This long -term lease is due to be renewed. If New Vector hasn't contacted the City regarding its renewal by October, then re- negotiations will be opened and the City may be able to bring them into a more agreeable lease like we have with our other tower leases. 8d.

Commissioner Waldoch had two additions to the Agenda: 5g. Vermillion River Advisory Meeting, April 28, 1998; and, 5h. New regulations on arsenic. MOTION by Berg to approve the minutes of the March 9, 1998 regular Utility Commission meeting. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. NEW BUSINESS • 5a. Marcus Cable Franchise Agreement Renewal City Administrator Burt apprised the Commission that Marcus Cable now has a new cash partner, Paul Allen. He also spoke to the Commission regarding a possible Joint Powers type franchise with Farmington and Apple Valley. Lakeville doesn't want to be involved because their system is already set up. This would enter the cities into collective broadcasting known as PEG Access. Procedure on setting up production at individual locations along with equipment was discussed. Negotiating a grant for this project along with the other communities is the consensus of the Administrator and Commission. The City wouldn't want to give this service up because once given up they wouldn't be able to get it back. The Commission wanted to know what City Administrator Burt's recommendation would be. He felt that the service should be provided, but didn't know at what cost the Commission or City would be willing to go. It is limited to cable only, not dishes. The Commission feels the need would be there however cable service should be provided to the Technical College and Community Center besides the City Hall. The Mayor wanted to compliment Administrator Burt, the City of Apple Valley and City of Farmington for their efforts in dealing with this and that Burt should keep the Commission informed. 5b. Bulk Water Meter Public Works Supervisor Cook presented this item to the Commission. He has gone to surrounding communities which have this type of a pay system and it appears to work very nicely. It would 0 1 • UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES APRIL 13, 1998 eliminate Staff time for opening pump house, processing billings, etc. The payback for the meter would probably come in one to two years. The work to the parking lot would have to be done even if we weren't putting in this type of system. MOTION by Waldoch to authorize Staff to purchase the Automatic Water Salesman and install it at Well #3 and to authorize Staff to do the necessary improvements around Well #3 as stated within the Executive Summary. SECOND by Berg. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. 5c. Policy Changg This change had to do with the larger irrigation meters that are being installed as separate units in multi - family sites. This would allow for the Associations to pull the meters in the Fall and not have to pay the Surcharge for the time the meter is shelved, however the Fixed Quarterly Water Charge would still be charged. MOTION by Berg to adopt the changes within the Utility Billing Policy/Procedures. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. 5d. Approve Utility Plan - Geronime Pond 2nd Addition - Ci y Project #293 • Osmundson reviewed the sewer and water plans for the Addition and also the four properties it benefits besides the Addition. MOTION by Waldoch to approve the utilities plan for the Geronime Pond 2nd Addition Street and Utility Improvements, City Project #293. SECOND by Berg. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. 5e. Approve Utility Plan - Bloomfield Addition - City Proiect #292 Osmundson reviewed the Utility Plans for this Addition which is the biggest project the City has had since the U.S. Homes projects. There will be a trunk watermain (16 ") and trunk storm drainpipe along Bloomfield Path which will include Core Funding, but the majority of the estimated $2.3 million will be assessed to CMC Heartland Partners. The Bid opening will be in May with construction starting in June. MOTION by Berg to approve the utilities plan for the Bloomfield Addition Street and Utility Improvements, City Project #292. SECOND by Waldoch. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. 5f. Water Treatment Plant Land Purchase Consideration The City has approached the Carlson's to consider purchasing a parcel of land southwest of the • 2 . UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES APRIL 13, 1998 Theater for use as a water treatment plant site. The parcel is in the most appropriate location as designated by Bonestroo, Rosene and Anderlik in the Comprehensive Water Study. Due to price the Commission was not interested in the property and advised Staff to keep looking for a site. 5g. Vermillion River Advisory Meeting Commissioner Waldoch is the City's representative on this Advisory Committee. The first meeting will be on April 28, 1998 at 6:00 p.m. and Waldoch will be unable to attend. Commissioner Berg will attend in his place as well as the Mayor and City Administrator/Public Works Director Osmundson. Osmundson will call and RSVP for the Group. 5h. New Regulations on Arsenic Commissioner Waldoch added this item to the agenda. The City has a broad spectrum of tests which are mandated. These tests are run annually and if any requests are done during the year, specific testing can be done. The EPA is trying to enforce substantial decreases in readings, however right now different groups are blocking their efforts. The City would have no problem adding arsenic to the spectrum of testing if it isn't already being done. • EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT 7a. Project Update Birger Pond is the only project Osmundson felt the Commission needed an update on. A letter was sent to the DNR and the City can't proceed until we get a response. Hopefully there will be more information to report at the May meeting. The Commission went over the different handouts in their packets. They briefly discussed the 1997 statistics on water billing. Also a new "Well Pumping Record" was handed out which shows a comparison from 1998 to 1997. The Commission had questions regarding the rural wells since Rural Well #1 hasn't pumped for over a year. Last year the Commission had approved a variable speed motor on Rural Well #2 and is working well so Rural Well #1 is being utilized only as a back -up. The letter from Met Council shows that their estimate for our City sewage was right on as actual. Conversation turned to installing sewer service to the north side of town, on the east side of Trunk Highway 3. One resident, Mike Kelzenberg, owns two duplexes with failing systems and has inquired as to when sanitary sewer will be coming to his area. A questionnaire is going to be mailed to the residents in this area inquiring as to their desire for City sanitary sewer. • 3 • UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES APRIL 13, 1998 Osmundson approached the Commission about rescheduling the May 11, 1998 meeting to May 4, 1998 as the Dakota County Engineer, Dave Everds, is retiring and his Retirement Party is May 11, 1998. Everds has worked well with the City over the past many years. MOTION by Waldoch to change the May 11, 1998 regular Utility Commission meeting to May 4, 1998 due to conflicts with Staff.

Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization Advisory Committee Commissioner Waldoch, our representative for this Committee, was unable to attend and felt that • UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 8, 1998 the notice he received regarding the meeting was very short notice. It will be brought up at the next regular meeting. Commissioner Berg did attend the meeting and updated the Commission on his intake and input into the meeting. Berg feels there are a lot of strong willed people and to many opinions on this Committee and he strongly feels nothing will probably be accomplished at these meetings. Osmundson along with the Commission Members still feels that basing the charge on flow is the only fair way for the Watershed to operate, not on population or land area. The DNR is having an educational meeting on Saturday, July 18th. The next regular meeting is July 28th. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT 7a.
