Topic:
Action Required:
Contract for Assessing Services — Rolf
Approval
Erickson Enterprises, Inc.
Summary:
The City of Corcoran has received its annual proposal from Rolf Erickson Enterprises to
continue assessing services for the City of Corcoran. The proposal is for a term from
October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016 and includes a 4.6% increase from the
current contract.
Staff met with Rolf Erickson to discuss the proposed contract on May 19, 2015. Rolf
walked through the additional work required of the new homes in Ravinia as well as
some of the technology updates required of his office. Staff finds the proposed increase
to be reasonable.
Financial /Budget:
The proposed contract is $58,512 which is a $2,556 or 4.6% increase over the current
contract. Staff will incorporate these costs when drafting the 2016 budget.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES
We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver
quality services in a highly professional, cost - effective, and friendly manner.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds
is essential for citizen confidence in government.
Council Action:

The amount for supplies and postage should be approximately the same as last year. A copy
of the proposed contract is included with this memo. Please present this to the Council at the
next possible meeting.
With the new technology and record keeping our job is becoming more complex and time
consuming.
The Hennepin County Assessor's Office has become "paperless ". This means that we (City
Assessors) are printing hundreds of pages of information that we used to be supplied with
automatically. In addition, we were told that the County would have a new internet based
system in place this year. We are now told that new system may be in place in two years, but
it may be five years. For us, this means more hand work using our old paper records until the
County finally converts to the new system.
The old Certificate of Real Estate Value has been replaced with the new electronic Certificate
of Real Estate Value. This is the form which gives us all of our sales information. With the
old system we were given the forms in an envelope once a month. Now we have to go on the
internet and print the forms ourselves and the forms are now four pages instead of one page.
Corcoran is growing. We just processed the division for the first phase of the Ravinia plat,
with approximately 34 new lots. That division took over 20 hours to complete.
Thank you for your consideration.

Council Update
Summary:
The City of Corcoran is a participating member of the Northwest Hennepin Human
Services Council ( NWHHSC), whose mission is to "do regional research, planning and
coordination of human services that make a difference in the lives of area residents ".
The City pays annual dues of $2,385 and in return receives human services data, a
human resource guide, assistance in coordination of services for our residents, and a
seat on the executive board which is held by the City Administrator.
While city dues provide some funds for the organization, a substantial portion of the
NWHHSC revenue came from Hennepin County grants to coordinate homeless
prevention programs. In 2014, Hennepin County informed NWHHSC that these funds
would no longer be available after June 30, 2015 leaving a significant funding gap for
the organization.
Over the last several months the executive board has discussed the future of the
organization which included options of repurposing the organization as well as
elimination of the organization. At the upcoming June and September meetings it is
likely that the outcome of the organization will be known. At that time staff will update
the City Council on recommended action of continuing as a dues paying member or to
discontinue being a member of the organization. Staff will seek direction from the
Council at that time.
Financial /Budget:
Membership to the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council for 2015 is $2.385
which is based upon $0.42 per capita of the 2010 census. If the City discontinues
membership in 2016 those funds would not be expended.

Information
Follow -Up
Summary:
On March 26, 2015 staff presented a very brief introduction to the role of elected
officials in the City's emergency operations. Subsequent to that report, the Emergency
Management Handbook for Government Officials was distributed to Council Members
via email on April 6, 2015 by Administrator Martens. Council Members were asked to
review its contents in preparation for additional information. Training has been
scheduled to provide that information.
The Lakes Area Emergency Management Group has finalized a training session for
elected officials and government employees. The first session of the training is
scheduled for June 25, 2015 at 5:30 pm at the Corcoran Community Center (before the
regular council meeting). This will be an excellent opportunity to gain a working
knowledge of how emergency services will function in a major event and ask any
questions about emergency management roles and functions. This training is very
important for those individuals that have not attended National Incident Management
System (NIMS) 100 & 700 courses. The training will be put on by multiple emergency
management professionals from Hennepin County and neighboring municipalities.
Financial /Budget:
There is no cost to attend this training.

Construction Hour Violation — Lennar
Discussion
Summary:
On Saturday, May 30, 2015, staff received a phone call regarding construction activities
taking place prior to construction hours in the Ravinia development. Hennepin County
dispatch was contacted and an officer of the Corcoran Police Department arrived on site
confirming construction activities prior to construction hours. Three separate groups of
workers were doing various types of construction, upon notification of construction
hours the workers seized work immediately. Two citations were issued in violation of
City Ordinance.
This is the fifth documented violation of construction hours by contractors working at the
direction of Lennar. The previous violations took place on the following dates:
• July 9, 2014
o Equipment hauled in early, emailed reminder of ordinance
• July 17, 2014
o Equipment operated early, phone conversation with Joe Jablonski about
seriousness of issue and talk of future action if in violation
• October 11, 2014
o Construction began two hours earlier than allowed, citation issued to Joe
Jablonski
• February 14, 2015
o Construction began nearly two hours earlier than allowed, work stopped
until 9:00 a.m.; City was advised these were new excavators and they
were not aware of working hours
An obvious pattern of violations exists and it is apparent that the approved enforcement
measures are not eliminating the issue. Staff is working with the City Attorney to draft
language to amend the applicable ordinance to allow for increased enforcement /fine
capabilities.
In addition to the above action, staff has requested the following from Lennar:
• A written action plan to ensure violations of construction hours will not happen in
the future
A written apology to the City of Corcoran
A written apology to Greg Hoglund with a copy given to the City of Corcoran
Bill Burges, President of Lennar to attend at the June 11th or June 25th City
Council meeting to answer questions of the City Council regarding Lennar's
violation of construction hours
Page 2
Staff will coordinate the action required and keep the City Council aware Lennar's
progress in meeting the above requests.
Financial /Budget:
Updating the applicable ordinances will incur some costs from the City Attorney's office.
These costs will be paid by the general operating budget.

Petition for Removal from Dust Control
None
Program — Fox Valley Drive
Summary:
At the May 28, 2015 City Council meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted in regards
to the proposed assessment role for the 2015 dust control program. Individuals from the
following addresses on Fox Valley Drive asked to be removed from the program for
2015:
• 9410 Fox Valley Drive
• 9405 Fox Valley Drive
• 9425 Fox Valley Drive
After discussion the City Council approved the assessment role with the following added
condition: "The Clerk shall remove the assessment on Fox Valley Drive if a petition
asking for removal is received by June 15, 2015 with more than 50 percent of the
properties participating. "
A petition was circulated and 10 of 14 properties, or 71 percent, signed the petition
which is attached to this report. Staff will remove Fox Valley Drive from the dust control
program for 2015.
Financial /Budget:
Fox Valley Drive is classified as a "local road" for the purposes of the dust control
program which means the affected properties pay for 100 percent of the costs related to
that specific road. Removing this road has no effect to the City budget for the program.

RE: City Sign Ordinance Update
60 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: NA
1. Summary
Tel: 612 - 252 -9070
Fax: 612 - 252 -9077
www.landform.net
At the March work session, the City Council identified a number of priorities for 2015. One of those
priorities was an update to the sign ordinance. After working with City staff to identify the most
critical updates, City Council authorized re- writing the sign ordinance to address concerns raised by
local business owners and development professionals.
2. Analysis
It is my experience that sign ordinances can be a very challenging process because there is an
inherent conflict between the "more is better" philosophy and a community's desire to implement
sign standards that reflect the character of the community. We have worked to develop an
ordinance that retains the unique character of Corcoran, but is not so restrictive that it drives
businesses away.
We have prepared a first draft of the sign ordinance update that addresses the key issues outlined in
our scope of work. The update incorporates some pretty significant changes from the existing
ordinance and staff recommends the changes shown on the attachment by deleting the str+Eken
material and adding the underlined material as follows (a clean version with the changes accepted :
• We have updated the sign ordinance to ensure that the ordinance address legal protections
for the City. The following items were updated:
• Updated the findings, purpose and intent section to provide a legal basis for the
ordinance.
• Added a severability clause. This is important to establish that if one provision of the
ordinance is found to be invalid for any reason, the remainder of the ordinance stands on
its own and is still valid. This may prevent a flaw in part of the ordinance from invalidating
all of it.
• We added a substitution clause. This language provides that for every sign that is
allowed, any non - commercial speech could be legally substituted. This ensures that non-
commercial speech is never discriminated against based on content.

•
•
o Content neutrality. A content neutrality clause was incorporated language was updated to
ensure that commercial speech is not favored over non - commercial speech.
• Definitions were updated to address changes in lighting technology and to ensure that the
definitions addressed desirable design outcomes that fit in with the character of the City.
• We added tables and graphics to make the sign ordinance easier to read and understand.
• District standards were reviewed and modified to ensure consistency. Sign sizing was
adjusted to be comparable with comparable Cities in the region and to allow for buildings
with multiple tenants to obtain a permit without a variance.
• Lighting standards. We have updated the lighting standards to allow internally illuminated
signs and channel lit letters in addition to the external illumination currently allowed. The
single biggest issue that staff hears about from business owners is the restriction that
prohibits internally illuminated signs. It is my understanding that this was a conscious
decision by the committee when the sign ordinance was last updated, but this is very
restrictive and there are many signs in the community that were installed prior to adoption of
this ordinance and are internally lit. The new ordinance would allow a variety of lighting
options depending on the zoning district.
Changeable Messages. The existing ordinance prohibits changeable message boards
(which are also called dynamic signs or electronic signs). The draft continues to prohibit all
changeable message boards, including time /temperature signs. The only exception is that
gas stations are allowed to post fuel prices on a changeable message board. We have
written ordinances that allow these types of signs, but it is a significant policy discussion that
we intentionally excluded from this ordinance update to expedite the schedule and keep
costs down. We do believe this issue will need to be addressed in the future and this type of
technology may be appropriate in some commercial districts with standards.
• We amended the permit process so that signs are not required to go to the Planning
Commission for review. Signs that meet the standards of the ordinance should be allowed
by issuance of a sign permit and only variances would go to the Planning Commission and
City Council.
• Consistency and Organization: We have updated the language for so that it is consistent
and organized sections for increased usability.
Increased the amount and type of allowable signage. This is the most significant change in
the ordinance. The existing ordinance is very restrictive, which makes most of the existing
signs in Corcoran non - conforming. In order to give the Council a sense of the scope of the
changes, the following table provides a comparison of sign standards in Corcoran today, as
proposed and in other neighboring communities. This is not a summary of all of the sign
standards, but simply pulls out a few key components to for comparison.

*The current ordinance uses the term freestanding to describe a pole (i.e. pylon) sig. In fact pylon

Summary
The Council should provide comments and direction on the draft ordinance. Staff will prepare a
presentation for the July 11th meeting that will include graphics and more specific details to help
answer the questions:
• Are the sign sizes appropriate for each district?
• Are the types of allowed signs in each district appropriate?
• Does the type of lighting allowed in the draft seem appropriate for the community?
Sign Ordinance Update Proposal

3. Next Steps
This is a first draft to provide the Council with an outline of our recommended changes. We will
finalize the draft ordinance after the Council meeting to incorporate any Council comments. We will
prepared all final edits and formatting changes and review with the City Attorney and City staff to
ensure that all comments are incorporated.
We would expect this item to be scheduled for a Public Hearing at the Planning Commission on July
7th Planning Commission recommendation would be forwarded to the City Council on July 23�d for
action.
4. Recommendation
We recommend that the Council provide feedback about the direction of the proposed changes and
order staff to hold a public hearing at the July Ph Planning Commission meeting to consider potential
changes.

Topic:
Action Required:
2015 Night to Unite Program
Information
Summary:
During the Goal Setting Work Session on March 28, 2015 the Council identified City
participation in Night to Unite as a priority. Since that time the Police Department has
signed up with the administering agency, the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association,
and registered as a Night to Unite participant. Night to Unit is on August 4, 2015.
City involvement has been limited in the past and the plan is to gradually build up City
and community participation in order to meet staffing and budget considerations as the
program grows. During my last meeting with the Hope Center staff we identified the new
facility as an excellent Night to Unite location. The Hope Center is the first location
identified so far. We intend to advertise Night to Unite in the City newsletter and
facilitate participation for interested neighborhoods.
In future years we expect community participation to increase through department
outreach and an increase in higher density neighborhoods. Strong participation from
City staff and elected officials will be important for a successful and sustainable
program.
Financial /Budget:
There will be expense associated with Night to Unite, most notably in staff time and
wages. At this time we are working to identify any staff available to participate and what
supplies we will need.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES
We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver
quality services in a highly professional, cost - effective, and friendly manner.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds
is essential for citizen confidence in government.
ETHICS AND INTEGRITY

TREATING THE CITIZEN AS OUR CUSTOMER

PROFESSIONALISM

committed to applying this principle to the services we offer and the development
of our employees.

opportunity to participate in all aspects of employment, citizenship, and
governance in the City of Corcoran based exclusively on their ability to
contribute.

Street Name Selection
Direction
Summary:
At the May 28, 2015 City Council meeting, a Street Name and Address Policy was
approved. The next step in the street naming process is to select preferred street
names for the City.
On May 29, 2015 staff emailed the City Council a list of six alphabet lists recommended
for consideration. The Council was asked to respond to staff with the following:
• Rank the lists from 1 — 6 with 1 being your most preferred and 6 being your least
preferred
• List of any names you have strong feelings against using and the reason for
those feelings
• Any additional comments
The ranking exercise resulted in the following category preference:
• Most preferred: MN Trees
• Second most preferred (tie): MN Parks /Wildlife Areas
• Second most preferred (tie): MN Native Plants
• Fourth most preferred: America
Several comments were also received on various names which are summarized and
attached to this report.
Staff requests the City Council provide any additional feedback on street names. Once
direction is received, staff will update the policy with a map and bring back to Council for
final approval.
Financial /Budget:
Once final names are selected staff will update the Street Name and Address Policy
with the names. This will incur minor costs.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES
We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver
quality services in a highly professional, cost - effective, and friendly manner.
