Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County for Engineering and Construction for the
Lake Marion Greenway from Ritter Farm Park to Downtown Lakeville
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a Joint Powers
Agreement with Dakota County for Engineering and Construction for the Lake Marion
Greenway from Ritter Farm Park to Downtown Lakeville.
Overview
In 2013, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners adopted the Lake Marion Greenway
Master Plan as a part of the Dakota County Greenway Vision 2030. The master plan included a
20-mile greenway trail that, once completed, will travel through Burnsville, Savage, Credit
River Township, Lakeville, and Farmington. The greenway will provide local connections to
regional recreation spaces, promote recreation and non-motorized transportation, and benefit
clean waterways and natural habitats.
Following a project feasibility study and public engagement events, staff worked with WSB on
the design and specifications for the trail segment connecting Downtown Lakeville to Ritter
Farm Park. The plans were finalized in late 2025 and released for bid in spring of 2026. Tree
removals in preparation for the project were completed in early 2026; construction is anticipated
to begin late this summer. The project includes the construction of trailheads in Downtown
Lakeville and at Ritter Farm Park, with an all-season restroom and park shelter at the park.
The total cost of the project is estimated at $4,608,000, which includes construction and
consultant expenses. A number of funding sources have been secured for the project, including
up to $2,124,879 in funding from Dakota County. The attached Joint Powers Agreement outlines
the terms for Dakota County’s funding contribution to the project.

Agreement for the purposes stated herein.

respective obligations under this Agreement, whichever occurs first, unless amended in writing or
earlier terminated by law or according to the provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
Cooperation
The Parties agree to cooperate and use their reasonable efforts to ensure prompt implementation
of the various provisions of this Agreement and to, in good faith, undertake resolution of any
disputes in an equitable and timely manner.
ARTICLE 5
City’s Obligations
5.1 Construction. The City, or its agents or contractors, shall construct or reconstruct the
Project as shown on Exhibit 1. The Project shall be completed according to the
approved Project design plans and specifications so that the LMGW Trail
Improvements meet the County’s regional greenway standards
5.2 Project Management. The City, or its agents or contractors, shall provide
construction services for the Project, and shall prepare bid documents for the Project.
The City will lead the construction of the Project and shall be responsible for

Page 13 of 158
Dakota County Contract #DCA23966
3
Agreement. The County will have no actual or implied responsibility for the Project
except as provided in this Agreement.
5.3 Notice to County Prior to Award of Contract and Approval of Change Orders. The
City will notify the County of the amount of the lowest responsive bid. The County
will thereafter notify the City as to whether the County approves the Project or whether
it wishes to terminate the Project based on the amount of the bid. Such notice will be
provided promptly, and in no event more than 20 days from the date of the City’s notice,
so as to allow the City to award or reject the bid. If the County accepts the lowest
responsive bid amount and approves proceeding with the Project, the City shall award
the contract and the Parties shall be responsible for paying the contractor as provided
for in this Agreement. Following the contract award, the City will obtain the County’s
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to approving any
requested change order or contract amendment that increases the Project costs relating
to the LMGW Trail Improvements. The County acknowledges and agrees that the City
may terminate or reduce the scope of the Project at any time if the County does not
approve a change order or contract amendment and such change order or amendment
would require the City to incur additional costs relating to the LMGW Trail
Improvements.
5.4 Acknowledgement. The City shall appropriately acknowledge the funding
assistance provided by the County pursuant to this Agreement in any promotional
materials, signage, reports, publications, notices and presentations concerning the
Project.
5.5 Compliance with Laws/Standard. The City shall abide by all federal, state, or local
laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations related to the Project work. The
City or its contractor, if any, is responsible for obtaining and complying with all
federal, state, or local permits, codes, licenses, and rights and authorizations
necessary for performing the work.
5.6 Use of Contractors. The City may engage contractors to perform the activities funded
pursuant to this Agreement. However, the City retains primary responsibility to the
County for performance of the activities and the use of such contractors does not relieve
the City from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
5.7 Perpetual License for Lake Marion Greenway. The City shall be responsible for
designating appropriate locations for the installation of the LMGW Trail Improvements
within areas owned or controlled by the City. The LMGW Trail Improvements shall
generally be located in the area depicted on Exhibit 1. The City grants a perpetual license
for the County and its employees, agents and contractors to install, maintain, repair and
replace the LMGW Improvements and associated improvements agreed to by the Parties
on City property or within City right-of-way, as provided for pursuant to this Agreement.
The perpetual license shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement. The
perpetual license shall be subject to the City’s right to require relocation of the LMGW
Page 14 of 158
Dakota County Contract #DCA23966
4
Trail Improvements as provided in section 6.4 of this Agreement and pursuant to
applicable law. The City’s right to require relocation shall also survive expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
5.8 Permanent Easements for LMGW. At the County’s request, and limited to City-owned
property, the City will replace the license provided for in section 5.7 with permanent
easements for the LMGW and agreed-upon improvements constructed and installed as
part of the Project. The City shall execute the documents reasonably necessary to convey
permanent easements for the LMGW and agreed-upon improvements. The County will
provide all surveying and other documentation and information necessary for the City to
grant the requested permanent easements.
ARTICLE 6
County’s Obligations
6.1. County Funding Obligation. If the County accepts the bid amount and approves
proceeding with the Project pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement, the County shall
reimburse the City in a total amount not to exceed $2,124,879 based on the proportionate
cost share percentages for Project elements as outlined on Exhibit 2. The City will
administer the construction contract for the Project and will make all required payments to
the contractor. Following payments to the contractor, the City will submit an invoice to the
County for reimbursement of the County’s proportionate share of the contractor payments.
The County shall reimburse the City for its share of the payments within 35 days of receipt
of the invoice.
6.2 Project Management Team. County staff will participate on a Project Management Team
coordinated by the City and will provide input on the design and construction of the
LMGW Trail Improvements and the County’s regional greenway standards.
6.3 Acknowledgment. The County shall appropriately acknowledge the assistance provided
by the City pursuant to this Agreement in any promotional materials, signage, publications,
notices, and presentations concerning the Project.
6.4 Relocation of LMGW Located within City Right-of-Way or Permanent Easements on City
Property. The Parties agree that in the event the City needs to widen, expand, and/or
redesign its street, transportation facilities, utilities, or other infrastructure owned by the
City and within City right-of-way or on City property, the City will, if requested by the
County, acquire the necessary additional right-of-way and/or easements needed for the
relocation of the displaced LMGW Trail Improvements as part of the City’s project. If the
County requests that the City include relocation of the LMGW Trail Improvements as part
of the City project, the Parties will enter into a separate agreement under which the County
will reimburse the City for the City’s out-of-pocket construction project costs and easement
acquisition costs attributable to the relocation of the displaced LMGW Trail Improvements.
Alternatively, in the event that the relocation of displaced LMGW Trail Improvements
reasonably necessitates the acquisition of additional easements, the County may choose to
acquire said additional easement rights using the County Attorney’s Office, and the County
Page 15 of 158
Dakota County Contract #DCA23966
5
may also choose to separately contract for the reconstruction of the displaced LMGW Trail
Improvements. The City agrees to provide the County with reasonable notice of a pending
displacement of the LMGW Trail Improvements that cannot be practically relocated within
existing City right-of-way or permanent easement, and the County agrees to provide the
City with written confirmation of how the County wants to effectuate the relocation of the
displaced LMGW Trail Improvements outside of existing City right-of-way or permanent
easement in a timely manner that does not unreasonably delay the City construction project.
ARTICLE 7
Ownership and Maintenance
The County shall own the LMGW Trail Improvements and associated improvements related to
greenway corridor. City of Lakeville will maintain ownership of Ritter Farm Trailhead and all
local trail connections and city road crossings installed as part of the Project. The Parties shall
enter into a separate agreement addressing maintenance of the LMGW trail and improvements
and any shared maintenance responsibilities for the Parties’ infrastructure that may be connected
to the LMGW.
ARTICLE 8
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated for cause following a material
breach of the Agreement by a Party by providing thirty (30) days written notice of
termination. Such notice of termination shall not be effective unless the non-breaching
Party has provided the other Party with notice of material breach and a reasonable
opportunity to cure. The actions giving rise to a material breach shall be limited to the
failure by the City to undertake or complete construction of the Project as required by this
Agreement and failure by the County to comply with its obligations under Article 6.
8.2 Non-Appropriation of Funds. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the County may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event the County
determines that sufficient funds from City, County, State, or Federal sources are not
appropriated at a level sufficient to allow for the performance of this Agreement.

Approve Contracts for 192nd Street Trail and Retaining Wall Reconstruction
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve construction contracts for
the 192nd Street Trail and Retaining Wall Reconstruction with Northwest Asphalt, Inc and
Creative Scapes Landscaping, LLC in the amounts of $40,882.05 and $38,650.00 respectively.
Overview
This project consists of removing and replacing a small block retaining wall and adjacent trail to
ensure the private property is not impacted. The project was budgeted and planned for in the
2026 CIP. The small block retaining wall located on 192nd Street is failing and has reached the
end of its useful life. The retaining wall maintains the elevation difference between the trail and
roadway and a private residence backyard.Staff requested quotes for the work from multiple
contractors and received two quotes back for each aspect of the project. The low quote for the
trail work was from Northwest Asphalt in the amount of $40,882.05 and the low quote for the
retaining wall work came from Creative Scapes Landscaping LLC in the amount of $38,650.
The other two quotes had a combined amount of $190,641.25. Staff recommends approving the
contracts as both contractors have completed work in the City before and all work was
acceptable.

accordance with the Contractor’s Proposal and in an amount not to exceed thirty-eight thousand six

the Contract Time.

A. Contractor shall submit Applications for Payment. Applications for Payment
will be processed by the City Engineer. All of the Contractor’s work and
labor shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the City Engineer. If

Approval of Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County for Post-Election Review
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Lakeville and Dakota County,
to have Dakota County conduct the Post-Election Review.
Overview
Minnesota Statute 206.89 requires a post-election review (PER) of the state general election by
manual count of ballots in selected precincts following every state general election. The review
must be conducted no earlier than the ninth day and no later than the 14th day after the state
general election.
The Dakota County Canvassing Board sets the date, time, and place for the review; appoints the
post-election review official (generally the County Elections Director); and selects the precincts
to be reviewed by lot, encompassing at least three percent of the total precincts in the County.
Entering into this Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Dakota County formalizes the City's
participation in the coordinated, county-wide post-election review process. It clarifies the
responsibilities and cost-sharing obligations of each party.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact is contingent on whether any Lakeville precincts are selected for review in
a given cycle. If selected, the City would be invoiced only for the actual hourly wages of the
election judges assigned to review its precincts. No costs are incurred in the years when no
Lakeville precincts are selected. Sufficient appropriations in the Elections budget exist to cover
any anticipated costs.

Section 3
Post-Election Review
3.1 The County shall conduct the post-election review of the state general elections in the
County as defined by Minn. Stat. § 206.89. The review shall be conducted in accordance

Section 8
No Waiver
8. No delay or omission by the Parties to exercise any right or power occurring upon any
noncompliance or default with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement shall not impair
any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof unless the same is consented
to in writing. A waiver by the County or the Municipality of any of the covenants, conditions,
or agreements to be observed by the Parties shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
succeeding breach or of any covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained. All
remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any other remedies available to the Parties at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Section 9

Resolution Authorizing Temporary Closing of City Streets for Pan-O-Prog Events
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution authorizing
the temporary closing of city streets for Panorama of Progress events.
Overview
Each year, the Pan-O-Prog Board requests the temporary closing of certain streets in the
downtown area for Pan-O-Prog events. These events include the Street Market, Cruise Night,
Kiddie Parade, Car Show, and Grand Parade.
The resolution also authorizes temporarily closing streets near King Park for the 4th of July
fireworks. If inclement weather on July 4th causes the fireworks event to be postponed to July
5th, the same street closures will apply to the backup date.
As in the past, a Dakota County Obstruction Permit is required to close 202nd Street from Dodd
Boulevard to Highview Avenue for the Cruise and Grand Parade. The Police Department is
working with Dakota County to obtain this permit.

Renewal of Liquor Licenses 2026
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to grant on-sale liquor, club liquor,
wine, 3.2% malt liquor, on-sale brewpub, off-sale brewpub, taproom, and small brewer off-sale
malt liquor licenses effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027 for entities and licenses
identified in the staff report, subject to providing the required certificate of insurance.
Overview
All liquor licenses expire on June 30th. In April, renewal application packets and invoices were
mailed to each license holder. The applications were reviewed, and a spreadsheet documenting
pertinent information is attached.
All applicants indicated that real estate taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the City
or State have been paid on their property. Several license holders are working with their
insurance agents to finalize liquor liability coverage for the 2026-2027 renewal period. Any
licenses with unresolved issues will be held until everything is in order.

Proposals from St. Croix Recreation for the Purchase of Playground Equipment for
Dakota Heights and Valley Lake Parks
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve proposals from St. Croix
Recreation for the Purchase of Playground Equipment for Dakota Heights and Valley Lake
Parks.
Overview
Per the standard replacement schedule, three playgrounds were scheduled for replacement this
year. Staff worked with various contractors to develop concepts for Bracketts Crossing, Dakota
Heights and Valley Lake Parks. St. Croix Recreation concepts were chosen for both Dakota
Heights and Valley Lake Parks. Staff has developed a standard Request for Proposal (RFP) that
will be shared with playground contractors each year for replacement projects. The RFP asks for
three designs with cost estimates based on a budget provided by staff for each replacement and
provides a general guideline for interested contractors, including:
• Preferred playground elements and site conditions
• Accessibility requirements
• Removal and installation timeline
• Safety expectations
As part of the selection process, staff shares the proposed playground options with neighborhood
residents via an online survey. The survey is promoted with postcards, social media posts and
this year, signage was placed at the park locations with a QR code to the survey. The online
surveys opened on April 28 and closed on May 10. The preferred concepts are included in your
packet for review.
The funding for the playground equipment and installation was included in the 2026 Park
Improvement Fund. At this time, Staff is recommending the Mayor and City Council approve
the purchase of the playground equipment and installation from St. Croix Recreation through the
Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract in the amounts of:
Park Location Cost
Dakota Heights $79,804.80
Valley Lake $81,145.92
Removal of the playgrounds would begin late this summer with installation being completed by
fall this year.

Resolution of Support Authorizing the Submittal of a 2026 Regional Solicitation Funding
Application to the Metropolitan Council for the Dodd Boulevard Modernization Project
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution of support
authorizing the submittal of a 2026 Regional Solicitation funding application to the Metropolitan
Council for the Dodd Boulevard Modernization Project (CP 26-04).
Overview
The Metropolitan Council's Regional Solicitation is the competitive process for allocating
federal transportation funds (part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act). The City and
County are partnering to submit an application under the Roadway Modernization category for
the 2026 funding cycle. The Dodd Boulevard Modernization project between 210th Street and
Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) replaces an aging, rural roadway with an urban roadway with trails
on both sides and intersection improvements. The project implements a complete streets
approach in policy, planning, operations and maintenance and emphasizes and prioritizes the
safety of people outside vehicles. Federal funds would be applied to construction costs only.
This project was selected for application because it aligns strongly with the Regional Solicitation
scoring criteria and provides community benefits in the areas of a) new or improved multimodal
connections, b) safety including connection to existing safety planning efforts, safety
improvements for people outside vehicles, and safe system approach, c) freight regional truck
corridor study tiers, d) flood mitigation, stormwater treatment and other environmental benefits,
and e) community considerations including community context, community need and
engagement, and community benefits.

Re: Proposal for a Geotechnical Evaluation Report
Lakeville Water Treatment Plant
Intersection of 179th Street West and Granby Lane
Lakeville, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Oehme:
Braun Intertec Corporation (Braun Intertec) submits this proposal to complete a geotechnical evaluation for
Lakeville Water Treatment Plant at the referenced site.
Project Information
Per the RFP provided by Black and Veatch , the City of Lakeville is proposing to build a new water treatment
plant that will be located near the intersection of Granby Lane and 179th Street South in Lakeville, just east of
the existing water tower. We understand the new plant will be approximately 65’X225’ and will include a
below-grade plate settler, fllter pipe gallery, a backwash wetwell, and a flnished water wetwell. In addition,
the project will also include the construction of a 40’ diameter, 20’ deep backwash recovery basin, a
80’X150’X20’ deep below-grade concrete flnished water clearwell, new utility pipes for both flnished water
and raw water material, and at-grade parking/driving lanes for the new plant.
Purpose
The purpose of our geotechnical evaluation will be to characterize subsurface geologic conditions at
selected exploration locations, evaluate their impact on the project, and provide geotechnical
recommendations for use in the design and construction of the new water treatment plant.
Scope of Services
We propose the following tasks to help achieve the stated purpose. If we encounter unfavorable or
unforeseen conditions during the completion of our tasks that lead us to recommend an expanded scope of
services, we will contact you to discuss the conditions before resuming our services.

Braun Intertec Page 2
Site Access
Based on aerial photographs, it appears that the site is accessible using an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) drill rig.
We assume there will be no cause for delays in accessing the exploration locations. We are not including tree
clearing, debris or obstruction removal, grading of navigable paths, or snow plowing.
Borings BH-4 and BH-5 appear to be located in a heavily wooded area. We anticipate that we will be able to
access these borings with minor brush clearing only; We have not included tree clearing to access these
borings in our proposal. Should tree clearing be needed, additional fees will apply.
Depending on access requirements, ground conditions or potential utility confiicts, our fleld crew may alter
the exploration locations from those proposed to facilitate accessibility.
Our drilling activities may also impact the vegetation and may rut the surface to access boring locations.
Restoration of vegetation and turf is not part of our scope of services.
Staking
We will stake prospective subsurface exploration locations, as selected by Black and Veatch, and obtain
surface elevations at those locations using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. In order to link the
GPS data to an appropriate reference, we request that you provide CAD flles indicating location/elevation
references appropriate for this project, or give us contact information for the consultant that might have such
information.
Utility Clearance
Prior to drilling or excavating, we will contact Gopher State One Call and arrange for notiflcation of the
appropriate utility vendors to mark and clear the exploration locations of public underground utilities. You, or
your authorized representative, are responsible to notify us before we begin our work of the presence and
location of any underground objects or private utilities that are not the responsibility of public agencies.
Permits
As we will not be drilling within the roadway, we do not anticipate the need to submit a City of Lakeville Right
of Way permit. Should we be required to submit a permit, additional fees may apply.
Traffic Control
As all of the requested boring locations will be off the roadway, we do not anticipate that traffic control will be
needed to facilitate drilling activities. Should the boring locations need to be offset within a roadway or in an
area where traffic control is necessary for our drill crews to safely and effectively complete the soil borings,
additional fees will apply.
Penetration Test Borings
As requested, we propose to drill seven standard penetration test (SPT) borings for the project. Table 1
provides a summary of the proposed boring locations and depths. We will perform standard penetration
tests continuously to a depth of 10 feet and at 5-foot intervals at greater depths as requested.

We have also made provisions to obtain thin-walled tube samples of the clay soils encountered for
laboratory testing.
We will also collect bag samples from one soil boring from the auger cuttings for laboratory testing.
If the intended boring depths do not extend through unsuitable material, we will extend the borings at least
5 feet into suitable material at greater depths. If we identify a need for deeper (or additional) borings, we will
contact you prior to increasing our total estimated drilled footage and submit a Change Order summarizing
the anticipated additional effort and the associated cost, for your review and authorization.
We do not anticipate that bedrock will be encountered at this project site and therefore, we did not include
rock coring in our proposal. Should bedrock be encountered and rock coring be necessary, additional fees
will apply.
Groundwater Measurements
If the borings encounter groundwater during or immediately after drilling of each boring, we will record the
observed depth on the boring logs. We will also provide a 24-hour delayed groundwater level reading in each
soil boring using temporary piezometers installed at either the termination depth of the borings or apparent
groundwater.
In soil borings BH-3 and BH-6, following the completion of the SPT sampling, we will install permanent
monitoring wells set approximately 5 feet below encountered groundwater. Each monitoring well will have
5 feet of screen near the encountered groundwater level with riser extending to a height of approximately
2 feet above existing grade. Each well will be set at a maximum depth of 50 feet. Each monitoring well will
then be developed as requested and will feature a steel protective casing with a locking cap. We assume that
water from the development of the wells will be allowed to be discharged on site and will not require
containerizing. Each monitoring well will have a valid well permit per MDH requirements for permanent wells.
Following initial installation, we will return to the site on a monthly basis for a period of 6 months to record
the groundwater levels in Borings BH-3 and BH-6. The results of these groundwater measurements will be
included within the project geotechnical report. Following completion of the monitoring period, we will return
to the site, remove the protective casing and well, and abandon the well per MDH requirements.
MDH Notification
We are planning for the borings (and soundings/cores) to be 25 feet or deeper. Therefore, the Minnesota
Statutes requires us to both (1) submit to the MDH by mail a “Sealing Notiflcation Form”, and (2) submit a
Sealing Record after our completion of the borings. The Sealing Notiflcation Form requires a signature of the
current property owner, or their agent, and we need to submit this to the MDH prior to our mobilization to the
site. We are attaching a copy of the Sealing Notiflcation Form at the end of this proposal for your signature.
Our proposal includes the fees for the MDH Sealing Notiflcation and the Sealing Record.

Proposal 1001251_001
May 22, 2026
Braun Intertec Page 5
Borehole Abandonment
We will backflll our exploration locations immediately after completing the drilling at each location.
Minnesota Statutes require sealing temporary borings that are 15 feet deep or deeper. Based on our
proposed subsurface characterization depths, we will seal 230 linear feet with grout.
Our lump sum fee includes those fees associated with the sealing.
Sealing boreholes with grout will prevent us from disposing of auger boring cuttings in the completed
boreholes. Unless you direct us otherwise, we intend to thin-spread the cuttings around the boreholes. If we
cannot thin-spread cuttings, we will put them in a container left on site. We can provide off-site disposal of
the cuttings for an additional fee.
Over time, subsidence of borehole (core) backflll may occur, requiring releveling of surface grades. We are
not assuming responsibility for releveling after we complete our fleldwork.
Field Electric Resistivity Testing
As requested, we will perform fleld electrical soil resistivity along two array lines. The electrical resistivity
testing will be performed in general accordance with the Wenner 4-Pin Array in general accordance with
ASTM G57. Testing will be performed with electrodes spaced at nominal intervals of 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and
30 feet, as indicated in the RFP. We have assumed the array lines are free of obstructions and accessible to a
4-wheel drive vehicle.
Sample Review and Laboratory Testing
We will return recovered samples to our laboratory, where a geotechnical engineer will visually classify and
log them. To help classify the materials encountered and estimate the engineering properties necessary to
our analyses, we anticipate performing 7 moisture content tests, 5 mechanical analyses tests, 3 Atterberg
limits tests, 2 unconflned compressive strength tests, 1 standard Proctor test, 3 organic content tests, and
one time rate consolidation test. We have not included CBR testing, rock core compressive strength testing,
or swell testing in our proposal, as we do not anticipate they will be needed based on existing geologic site
information.
We have also included fees to perform corrosivity testing suites on three select soil samples recovered
during drilling operations.
We will determine the actual laboratory testing for the project depending on the encountered subsurface
conditions. If we identify a laboratory testing program that exceeds the budget included in this proposal but
provides additional value to the project, we will request authorization for the additional fees through a
Change Order.

Agreement with M&A Bauer Salvage for Dakota Heights Park and Valley Lake Park
Playground Removals
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Agreement with M&A
Bauer Salvage for Dakota Heights Park and Valley Lake Park playground removals.
Overview
The Dakota Heights Park and Valley Lake Park playgrounds are scheduled to be replaced in
2026. Staff has been working with M&A Bauer Salvage to arrange the removal of the original
playground equipment from both locations at no cost to the City. The option of having the old
equipment removed by an outside source is a direct cost and staff time savings to the
department. The contractor benefits from the opportunity to salvage the old playground
materials. The removal of original equipment will be scheduled just before the installation of
new equipment at both locations to minimize impact on users.
At this time, Staff is recommending the Mayor and City Council approve the Agreement with
M&A Bauer Salvage at no cost to the City.

Approval of Change Order 1 for the 2026 Miscellaneous Project
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve change order #1 in the
amount of $30,612.50 for the 2026 Miscellaneous Improvements Project, City Project 26-01.
Overview
On April 6, 2026 the City Council awarded a construction contract for the 2026 Miscellaneous
Improvements Project. Included in the project were ADA upgrades and some bituminous trail
work. The section of trail addressed by change order 1 was not a part of the original project but
has been significantly impacted by willow trees and requires repair. The contractor for 26-01,
McNamara Contracting, submitted proposed pricing for the repair. Staff also requested pricing
from another contractor who had previously completed work in Lakeville and their price was
higher than McNamara’s. The 2026 Park and Trail Improvement Fund dollars will be used to
fund this additional work.
The change order in the total amount of $30,612.50 would allow these repairs to be made. Staff
recommends approval of the change order 1.

Proposals from Webber Recreational Design, Inc. for the Purchase and Installation of
Playground Equipment for Bracketts Crossing Park
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve proposals from Webber
Recreational Design, Inc. for the purchase and installation of playground equipment for
Bracketts Crossing Park.
Overview
Per the standard replacement schedule, three playgrounds including Bracketts Crossing Park
were scheduled for replacement this year. Staff worked with various contractors to develop
concepts for the replacement playground equipment. Staff has developed a standard Request for
Proposal (RFP) that will be shared with playground contractors each year for replacement
projects. The RFP asks for three designs with cost estimates based on a budget provided by staff
for each replacement and provides a general guideline for interested contractors, including:
• Preferred playground elements and site conditions
• Accessibility requirements
• Removal and installation timeline
• Safety expectations
As part of the selection process, staff shares the proposed playground options with neighborhood
residents via an online survey. The survey is promoted with postcards and social media posts.
The online survey opened on April 28 and closed on May 10. The preferred concept is included
in your packet for review.
The funding for the playground equipment and installation was included in the 2026 Park
Improvement Fund. At this time, Staff is recommending the Mayor and City Council approve
the purchase of the playground equipment from Webber Recreational Design, Inc. through the
Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract in the amount of $64,766.66. Webber Recreational
Design, Inc. will also complete the installation of the playground equipment at a cost of
$27,600.00. Removal of the playground would begin late this summer with installation being
completed by fall this year.

Overview
A representative for Valvoline Instant Oil Change has submitted an application for a conditional

Joint Powers Agreement with Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization for
Watershed Partner Project Maintenance and Repair Financial Assistance Program
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Joint Powers
Agreement with the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization for the Watershed
Partner Project Maintenance and Repair Financial Assistance Program.
Overview
The City has partnered with the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization
(VRWJPO) over the past several years to complete multiple stream and wetland restoration
projects. As project sites mature, ongoing vegetation maintenance, including the removal of
invasive species and reestablishment of native plant communities, is essential to protect the
public's investment and preserve the original benefits of the projects. The VRWJPO recently
created the Watershed Partner Project Maintenance and Repair Financial Assistance Program to
help local partners sustain these past projects. The JPA outlines the program structure and terms
under which the City may receive reimbursement-based funding for vegetation and related
maintenance.
The City was awarded funding for the Avonlea Wetland and Stream Restoration ($6,137) and
the Middle Creek Restoration at Highview Avenue - Pinnacle Reserve ($7,794.75) projects. The
City will contribute a local match of $13,932.75. The funding will support vegetation
management and other eligible work necessary to maintain the long-term function of these sites.

Capital Improvement Watershed Partner Project Maintenance and Repair Financial
Assistance Policy (Exhibit 2)
The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) regularly provides financial or in-
kind assistance to partners to implement protection, restoration, and enhancement projects (Projects)
throughout the Watershed.
These Projects often utilize grant funding for implementation. Grant funding policies typically require an
operation and maintenance plan to ensure ongoing performance. Projects that don’t have grant funding
associated with them still require operation and maintenance to achieve their intended function. At
present, it’s common that the Projects delegate the ongoing operation, maintenance, and repair
responsibilities of the Projects to the partners.
As part of its implementation of the 2026-2035 Watershed Management Plan (WMP), the VRWJPO
desires to assist its partners with their ongoing Project operation, maintenance, and repair
responsibilities. The VRWJPO will strive to (but has no obligation to) annually budget funds to be
allocated for VRWJPO maintenance and repair activities (Activities) and to offer modest and equitable
financial assistance to help partners offset costs associated with eligible Activities. The VRWJPO
Administrator will have final discretion regarding Activity eligibility for financial assistance.
In addition, it is important to note that this annual funding is not exclusively reserved for partner use; it
may also support Activities conducted independently by the VRWJPO.
Any financial assistance for the Activities will be drawn from annual funding allocated by the Vermillion
River Watershed Joint Powers Board, following the criteria outlined below:
Partner Eligible Activities:
• BMP Maintenance could include, but is not limited to:
o Vactoring of accumulated sediment from manufactured treatment devices, filtration
media, or other locations
o Filtration media raking, tilling, or replacement.
o Repair or replacement of BMP structural components
o Pipe cleaning and jetting
o Modifications, changes, or installation of related infrastructure that directly support or
improve the intended function and performance of the original practice
o Other activities deemed eligible by the VRWJPO
• Vegetation management for wetland, riparian, and upland areas (herbicide treatment, mowing,
brush removal, prescribed burn, supplemental seeding or plug installation, etc.).
• Addressing erosion and soil stabilization.
• Stream Habitat Restoration.
• Other activities will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by VRWJPO staff.
Page 143 of 158
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization
2
Partner Ineligible Activities:
• Planning, reports, studies, preliminary design, final plans, specifications, contract procurement,
or construction oversight/administration of or for the Activity.
Minimum Criteria for Partner Eligible Activities (All Criteria Must Be Met):
• The VRWJPO has previously provided funding or provided pass-through of outside grant funding
for the design and/or construction of the Project that the Activity supports.
• The Activity is located on Public Property or within an easement dedicated of controlling,
preserving, and providing for the flow or storage of stormwater runoff; or if the Activity is to be
performed on private property (in whole or in part) the partner is responsible to obtain a right
to access the private property and provide documentation of such access to the VRWJPO as part
of the application process.
• The partner will provide funding for the Activity.
• The area of the Activity is within the project area or adjacent thereto and is deemed a beneficial
relationship to the Project (e.g., an outlot adjacent to a previous stream restoration project that
needs herbicide treatment).
What Assistance is Available for Partner Activities:
• The VRWJPO will make a fair and equitable attempt, subject to the amount available and
number of applications received, in providing financial assistance to partners using the following
criteria:
a. No more than 50 percent of the proposed cost of the Activity if the Project was not
funded in part by a grant.
b. For Projects that received pass-through grant funding from the VRWJPO, an equitable
cost share is determined by the amount of cash “match” provided for the Project by
both the partner and VRWJPO. Example: If both the partner and VRWJPO provided an
equal cash “match” for the Project, then the cost share for the Activity would be shared
equally. This formulation applies to the specific Project for which the Activity is being
applied.
• A funding request for an Activity may not exceed 50 percent of the VRWJPO’s annual operation
and maintenance budget.
When Assistance is Available for Partner Activities:
• Partner shall provide an application for assistance to the VRWJPO prior to May 1 of the calendar
year when the Activity is programmed.
• Upon receipt of applications, VRWJPO staff will evaluate all requests based on Funding
Prioritization set forth below.
• The VRWJPO will notify requestors whether funding will be available on or around June 1 of the
calendar year.
• A written agreement will be required to facilitate the transaction when financial assistance is
provided. Partners cannot request reimbursement for Activities completed before the written
agreement is executed by the partner and VRWJPO for that Activity.
Page 144 of 158
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization
3
How Assistance is Provided for Partner Activities:
• Assistance will be provided in the form of cash reimbursement upon receipt of invoices from the
partner. If a contractor is used for the maintenance activity, itemized invoices for the Activity
are required to accompany the requesting partner’s invoice.
• If available funding cannot fulfill all funding requests, the request may be denied, or the amount
approved for each request may be less than the amount requested to accommodate the
VRWJPO’s available budget.
• If a funding request is denied due to ineligibility, a request for the same Activity cannot be
resubmitted for consideration.
• If adequate funding is not available, then a request may be submitted for two years following the
date of the Activity. Funding requests that are resubmitted will not receive greater prioritization.
Funding Prioritization of Partner Activities:
Based on limited resources, the VRWJPO staff must prioritize funding requests based on the goals of the
WMP. Considerations include but are not limited to (bulleted items are not listed in order of priority):
• Amount requested by the partner
• Total funding percent of Activity cost assigned to the VRWJPO
• Type of Activity and estimated pollutant reduction capacity
• Activity proximity to impaired water resource or a cold-water stream.
• Age of the original practice
• Urgency of the activity to address health and human safety risks.
• Other benefits (not related to Water Resources) associated with the Activity
• Documented maintenance activities of original practice.
• VRWJPO investments for other Activities or Projects under contract with the partner
• Previous VRWJPO investment in the Activity
Review and Approval Process:
• Updated per Comments from TAC (7/23/25) and presented to TAC (8/14/2025)
• Approved by VRWJPB (9/25/25) Resolution #25-42

Recommendation to Rename the Casperson Park Outdoor Performance Stage to the Doug
& Deb Anderson Ampitheatre
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve recommendation to
rename the Casperson Park Outdoor Performance Stage to the Doug & Deb Anderson
Ampitheatre.
Overview
The Parks and Recreation Department has an established policy outlining procedures for naming
new park facilities and, in certain instances, renaming existing park facilities. In past years,
various park facilities have been named/renamed in recognition of former staff, civic leaders and
longstanding Lakeville residents in accordance with the department’s Park Naming &
Memorials Policy.
Staff has received a request to rename the outdoor performance stage at Casperson Park in honor
of former Lakeville Mayor Doug Anderson, a longtime resident and dedicated community
leader. In addition, due to Deb Anderson’s continued volunteerism and contributions to the
Lakeville community, staff is recommending that she also be recognized through the renaming.
The Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Committee reviewed the request at its May 20
meeting and unanimously approved a motion recommending the facility be renamed the Doug
and Deb Anderson Amphitheater.

Envision Lakeville Community Values: A Sense of Community and Belonging
Report Completed by: Joe Masiarchin, Parks and Recreation Director
Page 150 of 158
Introduction: The naming of parks and park facilities is a thoughtful process, which requires careful analysis.
As with any place name, a park name can be enduring and stay with a piece of property long after any
knowledge of its origin has passed. The selection of a proper name for a park should be purposeful and
systematic, resulting in a name both meaningful and symbolic.
A park name may honor a person of significant stature within the community, recognize an organization
or group of citizens which has contributed to the development of the facility, or appreciate a significant
natural aspect of the park. Park names should be apolitical and honor the contribution to a park or the
community rather than an affiliation with a political party or action group.
The procedures set forth herein are intended as a systematic process to develop meaningful and
creative names for Lakeville’s park properties. The procedures are intended to simplify the process, ensure
consistency in park and facility naming, remove emotional motivations and encourage creativity. Lakeville’s
future park names will exhibit balance, diversity and creativity.
Timing: The park naming procedure is a lengthy process by design. The process is intended to minimize
the emotional impact of the naming process or a naming request. All parties involved are given time to
think through the long-term implications of the chosen name.
Prior to the time of the development, a working name may be used. The working name would best be
of a nondescript nature that is not meant to resemble in any way a possible permanent name. In the
case of land acquisition for future parks, the assignment of a permanent park name may be delayed
by a significant amount of time, thus a temporary identification will be needed until development takes
place. A permanent name will be recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee for
consideration of formal adoption by City Council.
The following procedure should be followed in the naming of parks:
1. Staff will prepare a list of potential names and rationale based on input from any appropriate source
including a public notice in the City’s official newspaper announcing the need for citizen input. The list
will be filtered, based on the criteria contained in this policy.
2. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee will review the list of potential names. The committee
will discuss each name and its relative merits. Names may be added or eliminated from the list at this
time. No decision will be made at this point.
3. At the next committee meeting, staff will provide any information requested by the committee. The
committee shall narrow the list to three at this meeting.
4. At their next meeting the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee shall debate the merits of the
three remaining names and select the name that it will recommend to the City Council.
5. The final action would be to place the proposed park name on the agenda of the next regular City
Council meeting. If the Council chooses not to approve the recommended name, they will return the
issue to the advisory committee with direction and the process will begin anew.
Rules and Regulations for Park Naming & Memorials
Page 151 of 158
Park Naming Criteria: Listed below are the criteria, which should be used to generate a list of potential
park names, which shall be considered during the procedure described above.
• The name of the subdivision associated with the park.
• The name of the neighborhood in which the park is located.
• The school name if adjacent to or closely identified with the park.
• The street name adjacent to or closely identified with the park.
• A name suggested by the developer of the property.
• The name of a local interest point or local focal point near the park.
• The name of a stream, creek or body of water adjacent to or near the park.
• The name of a hill, valley or topographical feature associated with the park.
• The name of an event or historical occurrence associated with the park or abutting area.
• A creative name based on some impressions of the site.
• A name based on the vegetation present or the ecology of the area.
• A name based on a dominant feature of the site.
• The name by which most of the neighborhood and/or area children refer to the park.
• The name of a person who dedicates a major part or all of the land for the park.
• The name of a person of significant stature within the community.
• The name of an organization or group of citizens that contributed to the development of the facility.
Renaming Park Facilities: Renaming of parks should be done only after careful consideration. The renaming
of a park facility should be considered if one or more of the following criteria is met:
1. The name of the park is the working name for the park assigned prior to the time of development.
2. The primary park users have submitted a petition for a name change that deserves consideration
through the normal naming process described herein.
3. An individual or organization contributes a significant portion of the cost of acquiring/developing/
renovating, adds significant land or enters into a Naming or Master Agreement with the City
4. A park facility can be renamed in honor of a living individual who has made significant contributions
to the community or in memory of someone who has done so. In order to be considered for such an
honor, the honoree should have completed at least ten years of service. A waiting period of at least six
months from the conclusion of service, or six months from death is required.
Memorials: An individual or organization may pay tribute to a deceased Lakeville resident by donating a
memorial bench and plaque with personalized message. The donor must provide the cost of the bench
pad, bench, plaque and any future maintenance that may be required. Opportunities to refurbish an
existing bench into a memorial bench are available on a limited basis. Specific plans must be submitted
in advance, with the location and personalized message to be approved by the Parks Superintendent and
in some for instances, the Parks and Recreation Director. For information regarding memorials, please
contact Park Maintenance at 952-985-2712.

Early Voting Administration Options Following State Legislative Changes
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the adoption of one of the following motions:
Option A – Adopt 18-Day Early Voting Model
Move to adopt a resolution electing to administer the 18-day in-person voting model in
accordance with Minnesota election law and authorizing staff to notify Dakota County and
implement the transition.
Option B – Retain Current 46-Day In-Person Absentee Voting Model
Move to direct staff to continue administering the current 46-day in-person absentee voting
model and notify Dakota County that the City of Lakeville will not opt into the 18-day early
voting model at this time.
Overview
The purpose of this discussion is to provide the City Council with information regarding recently
adopted state legislation related to early voting administration and to discuss potential
operational impacts and policy direction for the City of Lakeville.
During the 2026 legislative session, the State of Minnesota adopted legislation HF 4240
allowing municipalities currently administering absentee voting to opt into conducting 18 days
of in-person early voting rather than administering the full 46-day in-person absentee voting
period previously required under state law.
Under the new legislation, voters will still retain the ability to vote absentee by mail during the
full absentee voting period. The primary operational change relates to the administration of in-
person absentee voting.
Municipalities wishing to adopt the 18-day early voting model are required to notify their county
by June 12, 2026.
Staff is seeking preliminary Council direction regarding whether Lakeville should continue
administering the current 46-day in-person absentee voting model or transition to the new 18-
day in-person early voting model.
Page 153 of 158
This data demonstrates that absentee and direct ballot voting now represent a substantial portion
of overall voter participation in Lakeville elections. In 2024, 46% of Lakeville voters cast an
absentee ballot, representing the second-highest absentee participation rate on record, exceeded
only by the pandemic – affected 2020 election.
A critical data point for this discussion is how absentee voting is distributed between in-person
early voting and mail ballots. The table below shows that the majority of in-person early voting
already occurs within the 18-day window, which is the period this legislation addresses.
Key Findings:
• In 2024, 10,467 voters (51% of all absentee voters) cast ballots during the 18-day in-
person voting window, exceeding the mail ballot volume for the first time.
• In 2022, 2,993 voters used in-person early voting (34% of absentee). The lower volume
is consistent with typical non-presidential election year turnout patterns.
• In 2020. 8,132 voters cast in-person ballots in just 7 days. That demonstrates a strong
demand even with a shorter window.
• Mail ballot voters are entirely unaffected by this change. The 10,094 voters who voted by
mail in 2024 would continue to have the full 46-day mail voting period under either
option.
• The data indicates that the 18-day in-person voting window reflects how Lakeville voters
already prefer to vote. The existing 46-day window has not historically driven high in-
person volume during the first 28 days.
Page 154 of 158
Financial Impact:
Transitioning to the 18-day early voting model would result in significant staffing cost savings.
The City currently incurs staffing costs across the full 46-day in-person absentee voting period.
Under the new model, in-person staffing would be limited to the 18-day early voting window.
The analysis below outlines the projected savings based on current staffing levels and
compensation rates.
The top model illustrates how staffing spans all 46 days, with the extra two election judges
added for the final high-volume window.
The bottom model shows how the proposed approach eliminates the first 28 days of in-person
staffing, while keeping full coverage for the 18-day window when the voters historically show
up.
Policy Options:
State law continues to provide full absentee voting access by mail for the entire statutory
absentee period under either of these options.
Option A: Transition to an 18-day window early voting model
Page 155 of 158
• Concentrates in-person staffing into a defined 18-day window, enabling more consistent
scheduling and reduced overtime exposure across a 46-day period.
• Aligns with observed voter behavior. The data shows the vast majority of in-person
absentee voting already occurs in the final 18 days.
• Reduces facility usage and administrative burden during the first 28 days of the current
window.
• Mail ballot access remains fully available to all voters for the complete 46-day period.
• Requires notification to Dakota County by June 12, 2026.
Option B: Retain the current 46-day in-person absentee voting model
• Maintains maximum in-person access across the full 46-day period.
• Preserves the existing staffing and facility arrangements without operational transition.
• Continues the current model that has been in place since 2022.
• Maintains current staffing and cost structure across the full 46-day period, including the
first 28 days during which in-person utilization has historically been lower.
