This work is being done for the Janu- ary 2, 2011, assessment for taxes payable in 2012. Minnesota state law requires that assessors visit 20% of the city’s properties a year, completing the whole city in five years. The area in this year’s viewing quintile consists of sections 7–12. It is a 1-mile-deep strip, ½ mile north and ½ mile south of Co. Rd. No. 30 from the Greenfield line on the west to the Maple Grove line on the east. Maple Lane in Section 6 is also included. Pictured below from left to right are Rolf Erickson, Lisa Mott and John Mott, the assessors who will be visiting the properties. They may be working some weekends and evenings to finish while the weather is good. Please call the asses- sor’s office at 763-473-3978 if you have any questions or concerns regarding your property taxes.

Discussing an issue directly with your neighbor before calling the City not only cuts down on the number of complaints and grievances that turn into taxpayer burdens, it also goes a long way in making sure your neighborhood is safe, well-maintained and quibble-free. When Diplomacy Fails If you can’t reach an agreement, inform the City about your complaint or, for issues that aren't addressed in City ordinances, use a mediation service to resolve the matter. Community Mediation Services, Inc. provides mediation services to residents, businesses, schools and organizations in north and west Hennepin County.

City of Corcoran 8200 CO RD 116 Corcoran, MN 55340 PROTECT YOUR HEALTH -TEST YOUR PRIVATE WELL Properly constructed and maintained water wells can provide many years of trouble-free service, but like any other mechanical de- vices, wells will eventually deteriorate or become damaged and allow surface contaminants to enter the water. In addition, some groundwater can contain one or more chemical substances in concentrations above state health limits. Regular testing of your water system is up to you. Here are some recommendations from the MN Department of Health that you can follow to assure that your well water is safe. Test your well water at least once a year for bacterial safety and at least once for arsenic. Test your well water at least once every year or two for nitrate, and always test the water for nitrate before giving it to an infant. Flush standing water in plumbing to reduce levels of lead. Test for other contaminants, such as pesticides and volatile organic chemicals (common components of gasoline and other fuels, as well as solvents, paints, cleaners, and degreasers) Wells at most risk of contamination are shallow or old, located close to areas of pesticide use or storage, and located in geologically sensitive areas such as plains or “karst” bedrock areas. Wells that have high levels of nitrate are also more likely to have detectable levels of pesticides. If you have an old or shallow well and you live in an agricultural area, or if your well has a high level of nitrate, consider testing your well water for one or more of the pesticides used most frequently in your area. Look in your local Yellow Pages under “Laboratories—Testing.” Be sure that the laboratory you choose is state-certified to perform each test you want. If you have questions about your well or well-water quality or would like more information about this subject, go to the MN Department of Health’s website at http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/wells/waterquality/test.html or call 651-201-4600. Page 8 YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE MEMORIAL GARDEN OPEN HOUSE The Corcoran Parks & Trails Commission is pleased to announce the coming dedication of the Corcoran Memorial Garden. On Tuesday, October 19th at 6:00 pm, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony. You are invited to view the finished garden area and gazebo. Memorial bricks, stones, and concrete and granite benches will be on display for purchase to be put in the gardens. Refreshments will be served. The garden gazebo, with the natural backdrop of evergreen trees and a wildlife area, will make a perfect location for an outdoor wedding, anniversary, renewal of wedding vows or a graduation party. Consider this area for your photo-taking. We encourage you to make your reservations ahead of time to ensure you will have this area all to yourself. There will be a grand opening in the spring when the garden is in full bloom. All purchased benches, bricks and stones will be placed in the garden at that time.

STAY BACK , STAY ALIVE—Winter Driving Tips Brought to You by The Corcoran Police Department Assume that snowplow drivers cannot see you. Never drive into a snow cloud. An average snowplow weighs 50,000 lbs., your car weighs 3,000 lbs. - do the math. If you are involved in a collision with a snowplow, you will most likely be seriously injured or killed. Increased speed limits do not mean increased traction on the roads - slow down. Plows travel 30 to 50 mph slower than other vehicles - reduce your speed. Do not take chances on winter roadways. Give the plow room to work safely. Winter Driving & Preparation PLAN - Make sure your vehicle is equipped with booster cables, road flares, a shovel, snowmobile suit, sleeping bag or blankets, mittens, stocking cap and boots, windshield scraper and tow rope. Finally, equip your vehicle with a winter survival kit. PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE - Make sure your vehicle is prepared for Minnesota's harsh winters. Test your anti-freeze, battery, brakes, exhaust and lights. Never travel with less than a half tank of gas. PAY ATTENTION TO WEATHER FORECASTS - Listen to forecasts, road reports and storm warnings and TRUST THEM. WINTER SURVIVAL KIT - Flashlights, hand/foot warmer packets, first-aid supplies, high-energy candy or snacks, brightly colored cloth to tie on a vehicle's antenna for help if stranded, candle, matches and a small metal container to melt snow for drinking water, pencil, paper and change for phone calls. Stranded in a Snowstorm STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE - Walking away in a storm is very dangerous. You can lose your way, wander out of reach, become exhausted, col-lapse and even die. Your vehicle is your best shelter. KEEP CALM -Calm down and think. Remember, the storm will end and you will be found. Your main concern should be to conserve body en-ergy and heat. You will not starve to death. Do not attempt to push your car or shovel in extreme storm conditions. It's too dangerous due to injury from tools, a slipping vehicle, exhaustion, heart attack or overexertion. KEEP FRESH AIR IN YOUR VEHICLE - It's better to be chilly and awake than to be comfortably warm and be overcome with carbon monox-ide fumes. Keep your exhaust pipe free of snow and run your engine only for short periods of time, leaving a downwind window slightly open. KEEP WARM WITHOUT FUEL - Keep your blood circulating freely. Loosen tight clothing and change positions frequently. Move your arms and legs, massage fingers and toes, tuck your hands between your legs or under your armpits. Cuddle with each other to share heat. Elevate your feet to improve circulation. DIAL 911—If you have a telephone, you should dial 911. Describe your location, the condition of those in the car and what happened. Stay on the line until you know who you have spoken with and what will happen next. For current road conditions, call the 24-hour statewide recorded road condition information numbers: 1-800-542-0220 or 651-405-6030 TTY (for deaf, hearing-impaired or hard of hearing people) 1-800-657-3994 or 651-296-9930 or online at current road conditions COUNCIL AND COMMISSIONS 2011 Budget Summary The City Council approved a preliminary 2011 tax levy at its September 9th meeting. Cities are required to pass preliminary levies prior to Sep- tember 15 every year. This allows the county to send all property owners a notice of proposed property taxes before the end of the year. De- spite passing a preliminary levy, the Council will likely continue to work on the current, 2011 draft budget up until its last meeting of the year, on December 29. The City Council is allowed reduce the preliminary levy passed on September 9, but cannot raise it. The levy would be reduced as a result of reductions in the draft budget. The 2011 preliminary levy and draft budget are currently intended to maintain all basic services. Based on the current draft budget, the 2011 preliminary levy is $2,732,455 which includes both operating costs and long-term debt payments for equipment and infrastructure improve- ments. This figure is a 2.5% increase over the 2010 levy. The City Council will continue to review operations and services in coming months to evaluate possible reductions in the preliminary tax levy. Additional 2011 budget information, including the draft general fund budget, financial management plan, and a copy of a budget flyer to be dis- tributed with your Truth In Taxation Statement in November will be available for review on November 18, 2010 on the City’s website at www. ci.corcoran.mn.us . The City Council will conduct a public hearing at City Hall on the 2011 budget on December 9, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. Pricing is as follows: 4x8” Memorial Brick —3 lines,15 characters per line $50.00 + tax Engraved Memorial Stone—22 characters, en- graver to size to stone $129.00 + tax 48” Maintenance-Free Bench —$516.00 + tax Cement Bench—22 characters $225.00+ tax Granite Bench —Price varies with bench For more information, contact City Hall. PLANNING COMMISSION The City of Corcoran is in the process of updating the City Code, specifically, the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. In 2010, the City completed the Comprehensive Plan update process as required by The Metropolitan Land Plan Act, which requires cities to update their comprehensive plans every 10 years. The Plan was distributed to adjacent communities and agencies for a required 6-month review pe- riod. The Metropolitan Council reviewed our Comprehensive Plan for compliance with regional plans and found it to be in compliance with re- gional plans. The Corcoran City Council is expected to formally adopt the Comprehensive Plan at the November 8th meeting. Minnesota Statutes state that cities cannot adopt any official controls or fiscal devices that conflict with their comprehensive plans or which per- mit activity in conflict with the metropolitan system plans. The official controls must be amended by the community within 9 months following the update or amendment to ensure the official controls do not conflict with the comprehensive plan (MN Statute § 473.864). Now the City is re- quired to update the ordinances to create or revise zoning districts to correspond with the new land use categories. The Planning Commission began the review of potential ordinance changes at their September 2, 2010 meeting and will continue working through the drafts at their regu- larly scheduled meetings on the 1st Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. A draft of the ordinances updates is expected to be ready for a public hearing in early 2011. In other planning news, the City Council took action on the following items at recent meetings: Approved a final plat for “Corcoran Wildlife Preserve”, an 11-lot subdivision at 21595 CR 50; Approved a site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment to allow another mini-storage building at Park Place Storage located at 6415 CR 19; Approved a site plan amendment, conditional use permit amendment, lot consolidation and easement vacation for expansion of Satellite Shel- ters Inc. at 20050 75th Avenue; Approved Metropolitan Agricultural Preserve Designation for 21735 CR 30; Approved Metropolitan Agricultural Preserve Designation for 158.71 acres and denied the designation for 82.83 acres of land owned by Edmund Cain Family Farms. The denial of the 82.83 acres was based on the finding that the land was located in MUSA and the Agricul- tural Preserve designation would be inconsistent with 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Additional information about any of these planning items is available at City Hall or by contacting City Planner Kendra Lindahl at 612.638.0225 or klindahl@landform.net. RECYCLING Page 2 The City of Corcoran provides a curbside recycling service. Corcoran is mandated by the state to offer a recycling program. A portion of this service is funded by Hennepin County. The remainder of the program is covered by a recy- cling fee, which was mailed to residents in March. If you have not paid your recycling bill, it is now PAST DUE. To avoid further penalties and interest, this bill must be paid to the City by November 15th, 2010. The City of Corcoran encourages residents to separate recycling into two categories—containers and paper. CONTAINERS Rinse all materials thoroughly and throw away all caps, lids, pumps, and metal handles. No need to remove labels. Commingle (mix together) materials in your recycling crate and place at curb on collection day. Acceptable items Paperboard, aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles with necks. PAPER Place in paper bag (to help prevent loose paper from blowing around) and set next to or inside recycling crate. Acceptable items: brown paper bags, newspaper, junk mail, magazines, cardboard and phone books. Unacceptable items Pizza boxes, egg cartons, packaging from refrigerated or frozen food products, or boxes soiled with food Kitchen and bath paper products (tissues, coffee filters, paper towels, napkins, plates, and cups, etc.) Gift wrap, wallpaper, specialty paper Photos, slides, carbon paper, blueprint paper Aerosol and paint cans, pots and pans, other metal items Ceramics, kitchenware, light bulbs and auto, plate, or window glass Petroleum products, hazardous waste containers, any plastic container that doesn't have a neck (i.e., butter tubs, ice cream buckets, etc.) You must have your materials at your site by 7 am sharp. If your recycling is at your site by 7am on collection day and it still doesn’t get picked up, call Waste Management’s route manager at 1-320-485-4065. Recycling dates for the remainder of the year are 10/12, 10/26, 11/09, 11/23, 12/7, 12/21 and continue every other Tuesday. Youth Snowmobile Safety Training Northwest Trails Association was formed as a non-profit volunteer organization in 1973. Northwest Trails, after many years of hard work by dedicated volunteers, has created more than 150 miles of groomed trails throughout northwest- ern Hennepin County for all to enjoy. Northwest Trails Association is sponsoring Youth Snowmobile Safety Training. The course is led by trained volunteer instructors and includes eight hours of classroom instruction along with written and riding performance exams. The class will meet at the Corcoran Civic Center, 8200 County Road 116 on these dates: Thursday, December 2 – Classroom - 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Tuesday, December 7 – Classroom - 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Thursday, December 9 – Classroom - 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Saturday, December 11 – Outdoor Practical – 9:00 am - noon This class fills quickly, and space is limited. Register your youth early. Students must be 11 years of age or older (sorry, no exceptions) by 12/2/2010. Students must complete all hours of training and pass both the written and out- door practical test to receive certification. For information on registration, go to Northwest Trails Association website at http://www.nwtrails.net/safety.htm. The cost of the class is $10. Checks should be made out and mailed directly to them. The goal of Northwest Trails and our volunteer instructors is to train young people to become safe and responsible snowmobilers. By learning the laws, regulations and the basics of safe riding, our students will have many enjoyable experiences while snowmobiling. Volunteers are welcome! It takes several hours of volunteer labor to mark and maintain our trail systems through out the year. We will begin putting out trail signs in October for the December 1st trail opening and remove the signs in April. For a map of the trail information, go to our website, http://www.nwtrails.net/safety.htm. If you are interested in assisting NWT’s with this year’s program in any way, please contact the club at 952-882-6770 or via e-mail at nwtrails@nwtrails.net. SNOW PLOWING NOTICE The Corcoran Public Works Department and the Hennepin County Highway division would like to caution residents that it is UNLAWFULL TO DUMP, PLOW OR PUSH SNOW FROM PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. Under MN Statutes, Chapter 160.27, Subdivision 5, violation of the above statute is a misdemeanor. Snow dumped on highways or the right of way can create a hazard not only for motorists, but also for snowplows. Even heavy snowplows have been ditched and damaged when hitting compacted and frozen snow. The person responsible for depositing snow on roadways may also be liable in a civil lawsuit if damages or injuries occur as a result of this action. We urge you, as good neighbors and motorists, not to add to the haz- ards of winter driving. For more information on snowplowing in Cor- coran, go to the City’s website at www.ci.corcoran.mn.us under the Public Works Department. In addition to MN Statute 160.27, many local ordinances also prohibit the plowing, blowing, shoveling or otherwise placing of snow from side- walks, driveways and parking lots onto public roadways. The violations are considered a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum $700 fine and/or 90 days in jail. RECEIVE $3.00 OFF Any Large Pizza Not valid with other offers—Minimum delivery charge applies.

Building and maintaining them depends on many variables. To start making ice, crews need temperatures to be around 0 degrees to -10 de- grees F for about a week or so and frozen ground about four inches deep. Then the crews can establish a six-inch base, which will help rinks survive most warm snaps. The final step is to build a smooth ―finish surface‖ on the ice. Public Works likes to get the rinks open the week of Christmas break and keep them open until mid-February, but making base ice requires a lengthy stretch of below-freezing days. If rinks don’t have complete coverage, they can be unsafe for skaters. And while weather conditions were normal last year, five of the last six years were warmer than average, leading to late openings and early closings. Once the rinks are open, depending on weather conditions, Public Works crew cleans and resur- faces them daily M—F and weekend mornings. (Roads and public safety are a priority.) Warming house hours are 11:00 am—9 pm weekends and holidays, and 4:00 pm—9:00 pm weekdays. During extreme cold weather, rinks and the shelter building may be closed. Before dropping off chil- dren, check if a ―closed ― sign is posted on the shelter door. If you have a concern about ice condi- tions or rink maintenance, call the Public Works Department at 763-420-2652.
