RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 92-28 ADOPTING
COLLECTOR STREET FEE AND AMENDING ASSESSMENT
POLICY
OCTOBER 12, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
DISCUSSION:
The purpose for this agenda item request is to
formall~ approve agd adopt a col%ector street
fee. This new funding mechanism ls to provide
a supplementary source of revenue to finance
those corridor/trail/parkway type improvements
associated with the City's collector street
system.
A corresponding Assessment .Policy amendment
has also been prepared and ~s attached with
the agenda report. This statement expands upon
the funding relationship between the use of
Municipal State Aid funds and the application
of the Collector Street Fee charge.
The collector street fee pr?posal was first
considered by the City Council on February 18,
1992. Following the. discussion .at this
meeting, Staff determined the f~nanc~ng level
necessary to adequately fund our street
collector system. From this outcome, four
alternatives were derived and presented for
preliminary consideration during a workshop
session of 9/3/92. Subsequently, on September
8, 1992 final action was tabled temporarily to
address certain Council concerns.
While Revenue Mix #3 provides a full funding
opt%o9 to elimingte the projected shortfall
anticipated within the course of the current
five yegr period, it also represents the most
aggressive approach from ?roject
implementation standpoint. Therefore, it may
be more prudent to go with a lesser acreage
amount ($700.00/acre) initially and modify the
charge based upon an annual review analysis of
available funds and project status.
This approach would mitigate the .immediate
financial impact upon developer, buzlder and
home buyer. And even though this method does
not resolve the immediate shortfall, this
selection is the most reasonable alternative
when instituting a new development fee.

ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Council are:
1. Approve Resolution 92-28 Adopting
Collector Street ~ee of $700.00/acre an~
$250.00 per building permit application as
defined.
2. Select another revenue mix from the options
reviously reported to the. Council during
ts September 8, 1992.meeting.
3. Reject the Collector Street Fee proposal in
its entirety.
RECOMMENDATION:
Due to the above reasons, Staff would
recommend Alternative #1 as the the most
economically feasible and equitable means to
finance the City's street collector system.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion as part of the consent agenda to
approve Resolution 92-28 A Resolution Adopting
Collector Street Fee charges respectively of
$700.00/acre and $250.00 building permit fee
is in order. In addition, approval of the City
Assessment Policy amendment, as submitted, is
also in order.

MOTION BY: SECONDED BY
WHEREAS,
the City Council of the City of Prior Lake
the need for financing the construction of
street and appurtenant improvements; and
recognizes

funding is inadequate to completely fund the City's
transportation system with respect to its designated
MSA streets; and
the City of Prior Lake plans to fund collector street
improvements through a combination of devel?pm~nt
charges in the form of an acreage fee and building
permit fee.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mayor and City Council that
the following rates for street collector fees are hereby
approved and established:
Development Acreage Fee
* $700.00 per net developer acre of property, due and
payable at time of final plat approval.
Building Permit Lot Fee
** $250.00 per residential lot or RED unit due at time
of building permit application.

SECTION III - IMPROVEMENT TYPE APPLICATION
Collector Street Improvements .
The City's designated Municipal State Aid system of roadways
has evolved into a network of collector streets that direct
traffic to distribution points connecting with central trunk
arteries such as State an~ County highways. Whi%e collector
streets serve and benefit the entire communIty, certain
aspects of construction provide a more local impact upon a
neighborhood and should be borne by that specific area.
A%l collector pedestrian related improvements i.e., bikeways,
Sld~walks, trail systems plus. excess r~ght of way are
designated as area-w~de beneflc~eries. While actual costs
associated with construction of the collector street such as
engineering, grading, bituminous and curb and gutter
installation are deemed to be reimbursable from MSA funds.
The most e~uitable funding approach is to be a two-tier fee
incorporating an acreage fee to be collected at t~me of
developer's agreement, complemented by a road charge on the
building permit. This distribution method shares the
financial responsibility between the builder and the land
owner/developer. The Collector Street Fees are calculated as
follows:
Development Acreage Fee
* $700.00 per net developer acre of property, due and
payable at time of final plat approval.
Buildinq Permit Lot Fee
** $250.00 per residential lot or RED unit due at time
of building permit application.
The developer shall dedicate 50 feet of right-of-way and the
City will reimburse any right-of-way in excess of 50 feet at
a current rate cost of S8,000.00/acre. The fees are to be
dedicated to the Collector Street Fund and are to be used for
the purpose of reimbursement of excess ROW, collector street
improvements and pedestrian trail improvements associated
with such MSA streets and the City's municipal share of
County road related trail improvements.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION
AGREEMENT WITH MnDOT
OCTOBER 19, 1992
92-33
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this Agenda item is to consider
approving an agreement with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. This agreement
would allow reimbursement from the State Aid
Administrative Account for funds used for
certification courses.
BACKGROUND:
In order to improve the quality of road
construction inspection, the Minnesota
Department of Transportation has approved a
certification program for all state aid
projects. .Beginning qanuary 1, %994 all state
aid work will be ~e~ulred to be inspected by a
certified technician. The certification
process requires technicians to attend courses
that, in the past{ were paid for by each local
agency. The Division Director for state aid
has recently.d~termined that the tuition costs
for the certification courses are eligible for
reimbursement from state aid funds.
DISCUSSION:
Technicians for the City of Prior Lake are
about half way through the certification
process, with about 6 to 8 additional courses
needed for completion. Tuition for each course
ranges.from about $75 to $200. The total
expenditures for the courses needed to
complete the program is estimated to be under
$1,200 which is less than the $5,000 maximum
allowed for reimbursement.
In order for the City to become eligible for
reimbursement, the C~ty Council must approve
an agreement between the City and the State of
Minnesota (see attached.)

Toronto Avenue from Tower Street to
Trunk Highway 13.
Realignment of Vine Street and Tower

Street and Vine Street.
The purpose of this Agenda item is to receive
Council approval of the final payment on this

Brown & Cris, Inc. entered into a contract
with the city on July 16, 1990. The city's
engineering staff prepared the plans and
specifications, and performed the contract
administration on the project and has
certified that the work has been completed
according to the specifications. Most of the
construction work su?h as the grading and
installation of the ~ldewa~k, .lighting, curb
and gutter and initial bituminous surfacing
layer and restoration work was done ~n the
1990 construction season. A portion of Tower
Street was constructed over peat deposits and
a lightweight fill section was constructed for
the roadway embankment. The curbing and
paving was delayed until October of 1991 to
allow as much l?ng term settlement as
possible. The paving was done just before the
Halloween snow storm of 1991 with the final
restoration and punchlist items completed in
1992.

LAKE ADVISORY COHHITTEE ETHICS
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this section is to provide broad
guidelines for the conduct of the individual Lake
Advisory Committee (LAC). Each LAC member must bear the
responsibility of adherence to these guidelines. In the
event a problem presents itself, the Chairperson shall
take the initiative to resolve the matter in a procedure
and time frame most appropriate·
Lake Ad¥isory Committee members who have a current
or ongoing business relationship or yested interest
with an applicant or other parties with significant
interest in the matter before the Committee WHICH
WOULD DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BENEFIT THE LAC MEMBER
THROUGH PERSONAL MONETARY GAIN, shall refrain as an
active member of the Committee from discussion and
voting on the matter. Vested interest is to mean
any Interest(s) or issues that may present a
conflict of interest now or anticipated in the
future.
If a committee member or the committee determines
that an individual would directly or indirectly
benefit through personal monetary gain on a matter
before the committee, the individual may
participate in the discussion of the matter, but
not as a sitting member of the committee· The
individual must remove himself/herself from the
committee and address the committee as any other
individual may on the issue before the committee.
A La~e Advisory Committee member's opinign
pertaining to a function, organization or specific
application shall not be given to the medi9 .unless
there is a clear qualification that the opinion is
that of the member and not that of the entire
Committee. If a LAC member gives or represents the
open,on(s) of the Lake Advisory Committee those
opinion(s) must be a~proved by a consensus of ~he
Lake Advisory Committee and recorded in Its
minutes.
Lake Advisory Committee members shall conduct
themselves as professionals when representing the
Committee.
4. A Lake Advisgry C?mmittee shall avoid any
appearance of impropriety.
5. A Lake Advisory Committee shall make every attempt
to visit the s~te prior to discussing site related
issues.

BRUCE LONEY, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SIGNALIZATION PLANS
CSAH 21 AND CSAH 39 INTERSECTION
OCTOBER 19, 1992
FOR
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
Scott County has constructed County State Aid
Highway 21 (CSAH 21) from Main Avenue to 2000
feet east of Franklin Trail to an undivided
four lane highway in 1989-1990. The
intersection of CSAH 21 and CSAH 39 has been
determined by the results of traffic studies
and accident analysis to meet traffic warrants
for a full-traffic actuated traffic control
signal system. Scott County has contracted
with Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc.
for the preparation of the traffic control
plans and they are on file in the City
Engineer's office. These plans will be
presented to the Council at the Council
meeting. A Traffic Control Signal Agreement
#TS 92-2%/39 has been p~epared for the
installatxon of a new traffic control signal
at CSAH 21 and CSAH 39. The purpose of this
Agenda item is to approve the plans and the
enclosed agreement wxth Scott County and the
City of Prior Lake.
Scott County has planned to construct CSAH 21
from Prior Lake to Interstate 35 to give the
County another major east/west road from
Interstate 35. Currently, there exists stop
condition for the CSAH 39 legs to the CSAH 21
intersection. A number of accidents have
occurred at this intersection and the County
has determined that a traffic control signal
is warranted. The agreement is between the
County and City for the construction and
operation of a traffic control system.
The city's responsibilities per the Agreement
are as follows:
Any C%ty license required to ~erform
electrical work within the City will be
issued at no cost to the County or it's
Contractor.

~E~ALO~O~UNITYEMP~R
DISCUSSION:
City shall cause the installation of
adequate three wire 120/240 volt, single
phase, alternating current electrical
power to the controller cabinet at the
sole cost and expense of the City.
®
city shall provide the electrical energy
for the operation of a traffic control
signal system and integral street lights
at sole cost and expense of the City.
0
City would maintain photo-electrical
controls, re-lamping, glassware, and
cleaning of the glassware for the
integral street lights.
The city does not require a license for
electrical work, as this inspection work is
performed by the State Electrical Inspector's
Office. The cost of pro¥iding electrical
power to the ~ontroller cabinet from a NSP
transformer is estimated to be around
$1,000~00. Maintgining the street light and
providing electrical energy as described
earlier would be considered routine
maintenance similar to that being done on CSAH
21 street lights. This Agreement is
comparable to the previous City/County project
for the CSAH 42 and County Road 83 signalized
intersection.
Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to sign
the Agreement No. TS 92-21/39 and authorize
the C~ty Engineer to sign the plan sheet will
allow State Aid Project No. 70-621-14 and No.
70-639-03 to be constructed. This project is
to install a full traffic actuated traffic
control signal system with mast arms and
integral street lights at the intersection of
CSAH 21 and CSAH 39.
This project is tentatively set to be bid this
fall and winter so that the mast arms and the
control panel can be ordered for de~ivery in
the spring. The construction, wor~.will mainly
be done in the 1993 construc=lon season.
A traffic control si~nal system will improve
the traffic ci~culatlon and traffic safety at
this intersection. Staff is concerned with
~he sharp.grad? break at the CSAH 39 north
intersection w~th CSAH 21 gutterline and if
traffic can travel at the 30 MPH speed limit
for a local street. This concern can be
addressed by the County with this project or
when the County Highway is scheduled to be
turned back to the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
ALTERNATIVES:
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
ACTION REQUIRED:
Alternative No. i is recommended as a traffic
control signal system will improve the safety
of the intersection. The cost of the
construction of the ~roJect will be borne by
the County and the City costs as outlined in
the Agreement.
The alternatives are as follows:
1.)
Approve a motion authorizing the Mayor
and city Manager to sign Agreement No.
TS 92-21/39 with Scott County to
participate in the construction and
operation of traffic control signal
system and integral street lights at the
intersection of CSAH 21 and CSAH 39
contingent upon review and comment of
plans for said project by the City
Council of Prior Lake.
2.) Disapprove motion in Alternative No. 1
for a specific reason.
3.) Table the item for a specific reason.-
Costs of this Agreement have not been budgeted
and will be paid from the City's Construction
Fund.
Make a motion to authorize the Mayor and City
Manager to sign the Agreement No. TS 92-21/39
and make a motion to authorize the City
Engineer to sign the plan sheet for the plans
to construct a full traffic actuated traffic
control signal system at the intersection of
CSAH 21 and CSAH 39. ~

Re: City Council Meeting October 19, 1992
Dear Dave:
This is to confirm our recent telephone conversation wherein I
requested the P.L.U.S. Committee be given time to address the
Prior Lake City Council. You have allotted our group
approximately 20 minutes on the evening of October 19, 1992.
We will have a brief presentation on who and what P.L.U.S. is as
well as materials to explain our supporting position for the
upcoming school referendum proposal. I have attached 2 brochures
that outline some of the more compelling needs in our school
district. I would appreciate your distributing them to the Mayor
and Council members prior to the meeting so they may familiarize
themselves with these numbers.
If you have any questions or suggestions as to how to make our
presentation and request for support more effective please do not
hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your cooperation and
support in arranging our time at the October 19th council
meeting.
Sincerely,
.S. Steering Committee

Dear Dave:
Thank you for inviting The Brimeyer Group, Inc. to submit a proposal to assist the City
Council as a consultant in the search for a City Manager. Our firm and the personnel working
on this project are'well qualified to assist you in making this most important decision. Our
success in executive search, particularly the public sector, will serve well to assist you.
Enclosed is some information describing our background in public sector search. Responsibility
for the search will be under the direction of James Brimeyer assisted by Deborah Padgett. A
biographical sketch for Mr. Brimeyer and Ms. Padgett is provided. Jim has twenty years
experience in public sector management and has been involved in executive search since July,
1988. Included is a list of references for Mr. Brimeyer which represents both clients and
professional acquaintances, and a list of recent clients.

our public sector searches.
We very much look forward to working With the City Council in what must be considered a
most challenging and exciting effort. I am anxious to visit with the City Council on Monday,
October 12th to discuss the search process and am sure you will be convinced our firm is be~t

I. INTRODUCTION
The Brimeyer Group, Inc. assists clients in the search for and selection of professionals who
exceed client expectations. We see our role as aa extension of the client' human resource
efforts. We're committed to completing critical staffing assignments on time and within
budget. Through performance, we're striving to earn a reputation that places us at the top of
our profession.
REASONS TO RETAIN A SEARCH FIRM
Direct Recruiting:
Our research staff will identify the most desirable candidates and we
will make dir~-~ contact with those candidates to develop their interest.
Many organizations appreciate the value of our direct approach on their behalf.
Confidentiality:
We ha~e the benefit of being able to keep your organization's confidentiality
when approaching candidates, when this is important to you.
Third Party Objectivity:
As a third party we are in a better position to advocate for you than you
are for yourself. It's much like attorneys being able to represent their
clients more effectively than clients representing themselves.
Profitable Time Management:
Every search, properly conducIed, takes scores of hours. When you're
busy managing your organization, the hour~ you spend on search work reduces
the hours available to your organization. Making us responsible for the
recruiting work frees you to focus your time, energy and intelligence
· on serving normal business needs.
~4'ticiency:
We recruit in the marketplace daily and as such need much less time to
get into action than organizations who recruit on aa occasional basis.

Selective Interviewing:
We can recruit from among the best qualified, rather than from the fu~t
which prezent themselves, i.e. we work from the top down rather than
from the bottom up, which can be the case when hiring through an
announcement.
Commitment to Excellence:
Enlightened candidates recognize that the investment you've made by
hiring us is a clear statement of your commitment to continued quality
growth in your organization. Most desirable candidates want to be part of
an organization that demonstrates a willingness to invest in its future.

II. THE SEARCH PROCESS
We anticipate the search for the City Manager of the City of Prior Lake will normally take
from three to four months (90 to 120 days) from the time we are retained to the time the City
Council makes an offer. This is somewhat dependent on the ability to place the announcement
in the appropriate professional and trade publications, the time required to screen candidates,
and the availability of the Council to review consultant repons and conduct final interviews. In
consultation with the Council, we will develop a target date for the reporting of the new City
Manager.
City of Prior Lake

Conducting a search involves a process that can have far-reaching ramifications for the success
or failure of an organization. To insure success, we will use the following process:
1. Position Profile
During this initial phase our consultants will meet with the City Council as a group and/or . ·
individually, to learn more about your goals and objectives. We will spend the nece~ary time
to gain a clear understanding of the organization and the type of person needed. Critical
factors to be determined include position responsibility and authority; reporting relationships;
educational and experience requirements; personal and leadership qualities; management style;
and the organizational environment in which the City Manager must function.
With Council approval, we will also meet with key staff to further assess the climate within
which the selected candidate must operate. In addition, we anticipate meeting with community
leaders to gather additional information. As a result of these meetings we will reach an
understanding of what type of personality, human chemistry, and interaction style is desired and
we will draft a Position Profile.
A great deal of emphasis is placed on this critical specification analysis stage to determine the
position content and the environment. Without this information, it is difficult to determine how
potential candidates will affect the City's plans and organizational team. Prior to meeting with
the Council and key employees we will supply a list of questions to assist the interviewees in
assembling their ideas on what should be included in this job profile.
During the meeting with the Council, agreement will be reached concerning the number of
qualified candidates that will be interviewed before making a final decision.
Once a consensus is reached on the requirements of the position and the qualifications of the
ideal candidate, we will prepare a detailed Position Profile and an appropriate presentation of
the opportunity and present it to the Council for approval.
2. Recruit Candidates and Place Announcements
We will conduct a comprehensive program to contact sources and identify suitable candidates.
In addition to announcing the position in the appropriate professional and trade journals, we
will identify potential candidates through personal contacts with public sector professionals and
other members of local government organizations throughout the United States. In addition, we
will use our research staff to identify comparable organizations from which key individuals can
be contacted. Based on the sources available to us, we will identify specific individuals with
established patterns of accomplishment, contributions, and success.
City of Prior Lake
Page Five
3. Review Resumes and Screen Candidates
Numerous prospects will be screened against the Position Profile. From these individuals we
will compile a broad list of prospects for the job. An initial confidential phone contact will be
made to promising candidates to determine their suitability and interest.
4. Candidate Evaluation and Interviews; Background Checks
After our research and sourcing is completed, several qualified candidates emerge for
evaluation and comparison. Interviews will be scheduled with the most promising individuals.
Thorough, intensive, one-on-one interviews will be conducted with the leading candidates by
our staff.
During these interviews, the consultant will further assess the individual's qualifications,
accomplishments and suitability for the City of Prior Lake position and personal situation. Our
in-depth evaluation and appraisal techniques will cover issues such as work experience,
education, professional development and achievement, career objectives, and business
philosophy. Such on-the-scene reviews of a candidate's present operations can be very helpful
in assessing qualifications and potential.
Along with the field interviews, we will investigate the backgrounds of the most promising
candidates through discreet telephone and personal reference checks. We will talk with peers
and former associates of these prime candidates. It is our practice to speak directly with
individuals who are, or have been, in positions to evaluate the candidates' job performance.
In order to minimize costs associated with traveling to personally interview potential candidates,
The Brimeyer Group offers the option of engaging a professional interviewing firm to video
tape the candidates' response to our questions. This video taped interview will be followed up
with a detailed telephone interview through our office.
Progress Report
Following the screening and background investigation, we will prepare a Progress Report.
This Progress Report will provide specific information on the individu',d's educational and work
history; accomplishments and growth potential; strengths and poss'~ble limitations. We will
personally deliver and review these reports with the Council. On the basis of this review,
final candidates will be selected for interviews in Prior Lake.
City of Prior Lake
Page Six
The Brimeyer Group has on retainer a management psychologist who will conduct interviews
and administer a highly developed battery of tests designed to measure motivation, managerial
style, and personal compatibility. The assessment services include:
Understanding the Position Profile;
Testing and Interviewing for skills, goals, background,
experiences, strengths and weaknesses;
Interpretation of test/interview data;
Verbal feedback and written report.
The City Council will learn:
Insights into strengths, weaknesses and likelihood of success for each final
candidate befor~ hiring;
How to best manage/work effectively with the candidate;
Suggested development program to meet identified needs.
The above is available at the option of the Council and subject to Council approval since the fee
for this service is not pan of our regular search fee.
6. Interviewing
At this point The Brimeyer Group, Inc. will present our list of finalists. We will arrange a
schedule of interviews of final candidates with the Council and will coordinate travel
arrangements.
Extensive background material will be furnished to each member of the Council on each
candidate prior to the interview. If possible, all interviews will be scheduled within a period of
one to two days, depending upon the desire of the Council. One of the primary consultants
will be present at each interview.
Prior to these interviews, we will, if desired, provide the Council with some helpful material on
interviewing techniques and will discuss the proposed procedure to be used in the selection
process, including an evaluation form and a list of questions for possible use by the Council.
7. Selection
After the personal interviews, we will meet with the Council to review the individual ratings
and assist in determining the top candidate. The consultant will assist in this process to the
extent requested by the Council.
City of Prior Lake
Page Seven
8. Negotiating Compensation Package
The Brimeyer Group, Inc. will take great care that the Council secures an acceptance from the
most desired individual. We will reconunend a compensation package calculated to attract the
finalist and will participate in the final negotiations. If any concerns arise in the final hour, by
working as a third-party intermediary, we can work out and resolve important details of the
offer which may have significant bearing on its final acceptance or rejection.
9. Additional Services
A. If requested by the Council, The Brimeyer Group, Inc. can act as a spokesperson with the
media, when appropriate, in order to maintain the integrity of the selection process as well as to
protect the confidentiality and privacy of the candidates who are not hired.
B. We pay careful attention to all circumstances arising from a job change, which include not
only adjustments in compensation and benefits, but also spouse careers, real estate issues, and
relocation details. Lifestyles, personal values and two career marriages are only three of the
factors that influence an executive's decision to change jobs. We will assist the candidate's
family in making career moves and relocation adjustments.
C. After the candidate is employed, we will follow up with both the Council and the candidate
to insure a smooth transition and satisfactory completion of the assignment. We will make
contact to assess the fit from both the Council's and the candidate's points of view. In the
unlikely event that unexpected concerns have developed, this follow-up contact is intended to
identify potential issues early in the hope that adjustments can be made, if necessary.
m. WORK PROGRAM (PERFORMANCE EVALUATION~
If requested by the Council, we agree to assist the Council and City Manager in developing a
Work Program after a six month period which outlines the expectations of the Council, City
Manager and staff. This can be done by utilizing both personal and phone contacts. The only
cost incurred for this service will be any cost associated with a visit to the community and other
out-of-pocket expenses. The Work Program will contain objectives for the City Manager to
accomplish in the ensuing 12-18 months.
IV. GUARANTEE
If the City Council utilizes the entire process as described, The Brimeyer Group offers an 18
month guarantee on the effectiveness of the City Manager. Should the Council determine it
necessary to terminate the City Manager due to failure to adequately perform the duties as
specified in the Profile and as represented by the process, we will refill the position at no
additional fee and will charge expenses only. We offer this assurance because of our
confidence in the thoroughness and accuracy of the process. Should there be substantial
changes in the political situation in Prior Lake and a decision is made to terminate the City
Manager for reasons other than failure to perform the administrative duties as specified in the
Position Profile, this guarantee is subject to negotiations between the City Council and The
Brimeyer Group.

Council's prior approval. Necessary expenses include travel, meals and lodging; long distance
telephone; special research; credential verifications; courier service; administrative expenses;
and the cost of placing announcements. Should the Council choose to utilize the option of
video taped interviews, additional costs will be incurred which will most likely replace some
