When imagination meets reality Farmington Board has many questions about new school concept by Jennifer Chick SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington School Board members were asked to think outside of the box as they pondered the future of a new project-based, student-centered school in the district. A presentation by Laura Pierce and Caleb Drexler Booth, the administrators who have been collaborating with a de-

sign team of parents and teachers to create the new school plan, lasted more than an hour at Monday night’s School Board meeting. Much of that time was filled with questions from the board as it evaluated the proposed approach to education. Board members seemed intrigued but cautious as they listened to the plan to create a re-imagined school for 21st century

graduates. The school would be open to district students ages 9 to 11 and housed in the District Instructional Services Center with an estimated student capacity of 100 to 120 students the first year. The district is talking about opening the school by the fall. Enrollment would be voluntary with an application process and random selection of applications.

The process to design what the district is calling Farmington New School began last November with an idea. The design resulted from an intense brainstorm and creation process in December with 15 design team members made up of district parents and teachers. The district also talked to students from Riverview Elementary and Boeckman Middle School. “It’s all the components

City among 20 nationwide for sustainability report by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Many people have wondered how much of an impact the expected development of the 4,700-plusacre UMore Park land into a mix of housing, businesses and public uses would have on Rosemount. Government leaders are not only thinking about it, but planning for it, and now they will have some numbers to project how Rosemount could sustain the influx of about a projected 20,000-30,000 new residents over the next 30 years. Rosemount was named See STAR, 9A

It took nearly a year, but One Rosemount Feeding Families has finally raised the funds necessary to send Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic 285,120 meals packed by more than 1,400 Rosemount area residents March 2, 2013. The final $18,000 was covered from two anonymous donors as extraordinary presents during the gift-giving season. “I felt overjoyed that the work had finally come to an end,� said the Rev. Bill Goodwin, lead pastor of Lighthouse Community Church and co-leader of Feeding Families. “That brings me great peace and great joy. From the begin-

ning, we did not know how the money would come in. To have it come in a unique and profound way is amazing.� Goodwin said it’s a “God story� that tells the tale of how Rosemount raised the money necessary for St. Louis Parkbased Impact Lives to ship the meals. He said a woman who attends Lighthouse had been praying that she would be able to donate a large amount to One Rosemount. The woman and her husband didn’t have money to give themselves, so she told Goodwin that all of it would “need to be from God.� Not long after, a friend called the woman and shared with her a Bible

verse: “He sends his command to the Earth; his word runs swiftly.� Just before Christmas the woman received a card from her uncle, who was unaware of her niece’s prayer and Feeding Families’ fundraising goal, with a check for $10,000. She told Goodwin that she and her husband knew all the money, which she donated on Dec. 28, would go toward Feeding Families. The day after the donation was received, Goodwin was talking with a Lighthouse parishioner about the $10,000 donation prior to the Sunday service. After the service, the man handed a check to Goodwin for $8,000. “It’s all God’s money,

Donations were accepted during the One Rosemount Feeding Families event March 2, 2013, at the Volunteer and Resource Fair. The money will help send the meals. An estimated $28,500 has been raised toward a goal of $71,000. To donate, go to www. OneRosemountFeedingFamilies.com. (Photo by Tad Johnson) anyway,� Goodwin recalls the man saying. It’s been a long road to the fundraising goal. Within a week after the food-packing event at

Soon, residents will be able to take a picture of a jarring pothole or inoperable light and submit it to the city of Farmington through an application for mobile devices. Farmington is in the final phase of design-

ing an app, SeeClickFix, that residents can use to submit complaints, suggestions and work orders to the city. SeeClickFix is a nationwide app used by many cities, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Eden Prairie. “It is a reporting feature where anybody that downloads the app to

their phone can basically send a report to the city by clicking,� said Brenda Wendlandt, Farmington’s project lead on SeeClickFix implementation. By March, when the city hopes to get the new app up and running, residents will also be able to send photos of the problem area. The app has a

The Presidential Award for Excellence is given annually to up to two teachers from each state, one in math and one in science. Kindem was selected as one of two state finalists in science in 2012. The state finalists were judged by a panel of distinguished scientists, mathematicians and educators, and Kindem was selected Minnesota’s recipient for science teaching. “These teachers are inspiring today’s young students to become the next generation of American scientists, mathematicians and innovators,� President Barack Obama said. “Through their passion and dedication, and by sharing their excitement

She grew up in Mankato, earned her bachelor’s degree in teaching from the University of WisconsinRiver Falls and has her master’s degree and doctorate in education from Hamline University. “The Presidential Award is an honor and a blessing,� Kindem said. “My passion for science has developed since I was a young child, and it is a privilege to now influence others to wonder, discover and explore the world around them.

year for Dakota County Commissioner Liz Workman of Burnsville. The newly elected County Board chair will serve as the board’s top officer at the same time work is substantially completed on a $40 million interchange project at Highway 13 and County Road 5. Pleased to finally see work on a project she pushed for years as a Burnsville City Council member, Workman is also candid about the traffic hassles it will create for a second straight construction season. “That was 10, 12 years in the making,� Workman said of the project, which will run Highway 13 beneath County Road 5, eliminating the signalized crossing and a major bottleneck on the heavily traveled state highway. “It’s really gratifying to see 5 and 13 where it is right now. Even though, if you drive through it, I’m sure you’re going to cuss your way through it. This year, 2014, I would avoid it, if at all possible. It’s going to be worse than it was last year.� Other developments on tap for the county this year include board action on the controversial Lebanon Hills Regional Park master plan and some library renovations, Workman said. A former Burnsville Parks and Natural Resources commissioner, Workman was first elected to the City Council in 1996 and served through 2008, when she won election to the County Board. Workman was re-elected in 2012 to the District 5 board seat, which her predecessor, Mike Turner, held for two decades. “Obviously, the people of Burnsville like the job

January 16, 2014 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Opinion Good news for public education in 2013 The year 2013 brought good news for education. The Minnesota Legislature approved additional funds for early childhood education and for all-day kindergarten. Eighty-six percent of local school levies were approved. Money borrowed from school districts during poor economic times have been repaid. The ECM Editorial Board, in a series of editorials last year, advocated these actions among others. ECM member newspapers keyed news coverage to major education issues: State funding, local funding and innovative classroom approaches. Editorials also urged our state’s educational leaders to: • Establish accountability to ensure the extra funds allocated to young children will be used effectively and fairly. • Urge federal and state governments to live up to their promises of special education funding. • Support and expand credit options for high school students, through dual credit opportunities and other programs. • Support and expand vocational opportunities to help close the gap between students’ skills and employment opportunities. • Maintain a singular focus on the need to ensure that all children are reading at grade level when they start fourth grade. We shared test scores that were hard to digest. In Minnesota, 63 percent of

ECM Editorial all fourth-graders were not proficient in reading. Of black children, 88 percent were not proficient. Experts agree that children need to be reading at or above grade level by the end of the third grade or face a distinct possibility of spending their remaining educational years at a disadvantage. We also shared this sobering fact: Minnesota tied for 29th in the country for graduation of students who entered high school in 2007 and should have graduated in the 2010-11 school year. Minnesota’s overall graduation rate was 77 percent. Some progress has been reported. The annual study of kindergarten readiness by the Minnesota Department of Education showed that Minnesota children entering kindergarten are better prepared. Seventy-three percent of children were determined to be ready for kindergarten, up from 60 percent in 2010. A child who is ready for kindergarten is considered on track to meet the achievement targets on the third-grade Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, the MDE says. The 2013 Adequate Yearly Progress report says our graduation rate remained about 77 percent overall. However, that same report says 72 percent of Minnesota children are scoring “proficient” in

math; 68 percent are proficient in reading — definite improvement. The National Assessment of Educational Progress showed some narrowing of the achievement gap in its 2013 report. By putting extra funds into education for young children, the intent is these dismal achievement numbers will improve. Parents, educators and taxpayers need to watch those dollars — are they being spent in ways that will foster educational progress from preschool through Grade 3? We need to learn from schools that are succeeding. MinnCAN.org reports, for example, that English language learners and black students at Glacier Hills Elementary School in District 196 placed No. 5 and No. 6 in the state, respectively, on proficiency tests. Ten schools in Burnsville-EaganSavage District 191 made one-year gains in closing the achievement gap between white and minority students, according to state data. Nine of the district’s 15 schools increased their ratings on Minnesota’s broad measurement of school performance, called the Multiple Measurements Rating. Students at Sheridan Elementary School in Richfield gained 17 percentage points over the past year in overall proficiency. Students of color at Champlin Park High School, Apple Valley High School and Coon Rapids High School are in the state’s top 10 for overall proficiency. We need to learn what these

schools are doing right. Other major topics will arise in 2014 and beyond. Major overhauls of education financing will be discussed in the Legislature. Teacher accountability is another huge topic. How do we maintain a quality educational system and how do we keep teachers accountable? These issues will also be part of the next round of teacher contract negotiations, a process that could be very contentious. This editorial concludes our year-long commitment to raising and analyzing education issues. We are pleased with the accomplishments of the past year, but we urge diligence and emphasis continue to foster basic skills among the young, to offer specialized help to all students as needed and to expand alternative choices for high school and post-secondary students. We will continue to comment on education issues important to our communities. Our state has many challenges ahead, including a changing ethnic demographic and an aging population. Our economy is showing growth but still has issues. Our future will be brighter with a welleducated and proficient base of young people entering the workforce.

Lebanon Hills development plan – a stakeholder’s view by James E. Jenkins SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

What makes a great park? I guess this question depends on who you ask. In 2001 that question was asked and was answered in a new Lebanon Hills Regional Park Master Plan created by many hours of input by a stakeholders task force consisting of 13 park users and 13 representatives from affected surrounding municipalities. This plan was adopted by the Dakota County commissioners in 2001. The overarching vision of this plan was to create a balance between ecological preservation/ rehabilitation, including water management, development to support the natural environment and new land acquisition. The vision also included primary emphasis on the fact that this park is unique and is not planned to provide all activities for all citizens. It is to be preserved

Guest Columnist as a natural experience and should be maintained in a natural condition with only the necessary facilities to support this natural environment. When the commissioners adopted the 2001 plan, they were solidly in favor of this vision. They must know that their current plan is not consistent with this vision. The vision, intent and details of the 2001 Master Plan have clearly been violated and the new development plan is rapidly moving in an entirely different direction. It is now being planned to be a park that is all things to all people. The so called “public input” process has reinforced the vision of the 2001 plan. The vast majority of the public input comments have been dramatically in favor of maintaining & rehabilitating the natural environment and are against the hard

surface trail / hubs coming to the park and the hard surface trail penetrating through the center of the park. Yet the new development plan ignores that input. Most people do not realize the impact of the cut and fill, damage to the vegetation, additional water runoff and erosion, and the ongoing maintenance cost that these new trails will cause The Dakota County Parks Department and commissioners claim that this new direction is consistent with the 2001 plan. How can that be? How can they think that the stakeholders task force would have developed a plan that allowed this much latitude for hard development? What is their motivation? It seems to me it would have been a much more honest approach, if the commissioners would simply have said: “Look, we have changed our minds and our vision for the park. We think it should be a great park, by a revised definition and not a unique park. It should

be for everyone and all activities.” Would most of the stakeholders agree? No, but at least it would be a straightforward position by the county and we could continue trying to move the emphasis back to the natural vision and intent of the majority of the park users. I hope that the county commissioners will rethink their position and honor the intent of the 2001 Master Plan. Too many parks nationally have already been ruined by over development, destroying the very reason users loved them. As a county we have the opportunity to be unique and preserve this 2000-acre gem in our community to be enjoyed for future generations. I hope we take advantage of this opportunity, make a bold decision and do what’s right.

and water quality, ecosystem shifts and mass extinctions. The good news is there are solutions that can prevent the worst-case climate scenarios. We can transition to clean, sustainable, renewable energy resources and improve the efficiency of our homes, transportation systems and industry. The immediate health benefits of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels would save us billions! A 2009 National Academy of Sciences study quotes $120 billion a year in damages from burning fossil fuels and this was largely due to increased health care costs. There are many groups working on solutions. One quickly growing, nonprofit, grassroots advocacy organization focused on national policies to address climate change is the Citizens Climate Lobby. The Citizens Climate Lobby will hold its first Regional Conference entitled Climate Change: Local Impacts, National Action on Jan. 24-26 at Macalester College. I sincerely hope local residents will join us.

with natural resources. We are fortunate to have a place like Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Our human hands do not have to “develop” this space. Our hands do need to take care of the buckthorn which could destroy the oak forest. Let’s get to work in 2014 tackling the ecological problems of Lebanon Hills. This work is needed to preserve the park for future generations of humans as well as the many other life forms – birds, muskrats, oak trees, amphibians, fish – that we are fortunate to share this place. I encourage interested people to go the Wild Lebanon Hills website to learn how to support Wilderness in the City.

Letters Listen, react to input To the editor: County Commissioner Tom Egan said in his Dec. 26 opinion piece he welcomes input regarding the Lebanon Hills Regional Park trail plan, but is he paying attention to that input presented thus far? Citizens who attended the Dec. 16 open house did not come with “their own predisposition” as Mr. Egan implies. Rather, they were residents and constituents who are educated about the plan to build a paved trail through the middle of the park. They chose to attend the event, ask questions and provide input. Mr. Egan simply does not like the tough questions that are being raised, because it gets in the way of the development of their plan. Mr. Egan is right, there have been a lot of negative comments. An overwhelming majority of those comments have opposed this development and were received well before the meeting on Dec. 16. The common theme of the comments, is the county should place an emphasis on restoration and preservation of this natural space. This was the conclusion in the 2001 plan. Unfortunately this ecological stewardship has not happened and monies for it, were shifted to other priorities. Our elected officials seem intent on

pursuing a destructive development policy in Lebanon Hills without support to do so from their constituents. At present, Dakota County views the heartfelt opinions of its residents as an obstacle to their ill-conceived plans. There is a lot at stake here. Let’s get it right Dakota County. Please focus on the comments and react appropriately to them instead of your own agendas. BRENT BEAL Rosemount

LAURA HEDLUND Chair, 2001 Lebanon Hills Master Plan task force Eagan

Poll shows Obermueller ahead To the editor: It’s no surprise that Mike Obermueller leads the race for representing the 2nd Congressional District of Minnesota (Public Policy Polling, Oct. 21-22, 2013). The recent poll showed him running ahead of the incumbent, and with good reason. Obermueller has his eye on what we need in Minnesota and our country. He has the savvy to support the education of all young people, so they can perform well in life. His leadership in funding early education can save our country billions in remedial services in the future. Mike also extends the hand of cooperation across the aisle. He has the old fashioned idea that people should not be blocked from working together just because they come from different parties. He seems to come from the belief that this kind of collaboration can actually be a source of progress for people. Unlike some incumbents, he also seems to believe saving tax money need not favor one tax bracket over another. Large numbers of people in the 2nd District have begun to see the value of supporting key projects like education and family stability, and Mike has supported those key projects solidly and reliSee LETTERS, 5A

If greater use is the goal, market it To the editor: I grew up in Eagan near where Lebanon Hills Regional Park currently is. I was the fifth (and final) generation to be raised on land homesteaded by the Diffleys who immigrated here from Ireland in the 1850s. My father, Tom Sterns, served on the park board that set aside Lebanon Hills as wild park land for future generations. My grandfather (James Diffley) and mother (Rosemary Sterns, who still resides in Eagan) and their neighbors grew up swimming in the “swimming holes,â€? hiking, snowmobiling, fishing and ice fishing and generally using this land as their unofficial “parks and recreation areaâ€? growing up. It is a gift that I can bring my children to experience a taste of “old Eagan.â€? I hope one day my grandchildren will be able to have wild, natureimmersion experiences on this gorgeous, unadulterated land. As a marketing professional with particular experience in visitor/tourism related marketing, I have often been surprised that Lebanon Hills is not marketed more as a premier winter sports and wilderness destination to folks in the surrounding areas. Perhaps more investment in unique visitor marketing is a better strategy than paving a trail through it if increased use is the goal. When my friends and I come to Eagan two to three times per week during the winter from St. Paul to ski we almost always eat nearby in Eagan restaurants, buy gas, etc. thereby bringing money into the local economy. Thank you County Commissioners for preserving this true Dakota County treasure for future generations. Many ideas in the current proposed plan are worthy but running a paved path through the middle of the woods and impacting the grading, foliage, and trail crossings seems like a poor decision. Once this is done it cannot be undone. Regarding accessibility, please remember that there is almost zero accessibility for preserved, wild places now ‌ this (along with rare jewels like the Grand Canyon and the Boundary Waters) is one, beautiful exception. Please reconsider these plans and find alternative routes from the campgrounds to the beach area.

To the editor: This past Christmas 1,100 families were adopted through the Armful of Love program of 360 Communities. Thanks to everyone who stepped forward to provide this needed support and helped to make the Christmas of these families more joyful. Apple Valley Rotary raised $4,900 from members to help 10 families with 40 children. The need, however, has not gone away and the winter months are the most difficult time for these families. They need help paying for rent, utilities, car repair and financial assistance in addition to a shortage of food. Your support is needed more than ever. Rotary of Apple Valley with 48 members requests that their members bring in food or monetary donations on the first Wednesday of each month when they meet. The members under the leadership of David Kingsbury recognize the need for their support. David has indicated the club will be stepping up their efforts. During the winter months expenses rise with increased heating costs. More people are seen to be out of work at this time of year. Many who are accessing food shelves are people who worked for the same company for over 10 years and have now lost their jobs. 360 Communities in Burnsville is trying to help these families with KATIE STERNS St. Paul, former Eagan their basic needs.

LEGAL NOTICES INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 196 MINUTES OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 REGULAR BOARD MEETING Chairperson Rob Duchscher called the regular School Board meeting to order at 6 p.m. on December 9, 2013 at Dakota Ridge School. Present: Joel Albright, Art Coulson, treasurer; Rob Duchscher, chairperson; Gary Huusko, clerk; Jackie Magnuson, vice chairperson; Mike Roseen, Bob Schutte and Superintendent Jane K. Berenz. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the School Board. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Coulson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the agenda. The board recognized the Eagan High School girls’ team that earned the title of Minnesota Class AAA Volleyball Champions; and members from Oak Ridge Elementary School and Easter Lutheran Church, who received a Green Ribbon Initiatives Partnership Award. Berenz congratulated: • Rosemount Middle School students whose video won first place in the middle school division of a statewide contest commemorating the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dreamâ€? speech; • Rosemount High School football team on being runner-up in the state Class 6A playoffs; • Dakota Untied Hawks on being runner-up in the physically impaired division of the adapted soccer state tournament; • Science teachers Ross Albertson of Dakota Hills Middle School and Chris Lee of Apple Valley High School on being recipients of a TIES Exceptional Teacher Award, and • Scott Durocher, English teacher and theater director at Eastview High School, on receiving this year’s Outstanding Individual in Communication and Theater Award from the Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota. Leslie Henschel, grandparent of a Rosemount High School (RHS) student, asked board members to read her handout and let her know who will resolve her concerns with the U.S. Constitution curriculum being taught at RHS. Motion by Roseen, seconded by Huusko and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the following Consent items: Minutes of November 12, 2013 regular board meetings (Exhibit A1); Claims for November 6-December 3, 2013 (Exhibit B1); Electronic funds transfer schedule for November 2-29, 2013 (Exhibit B2); Schedule of investments for November 2-29, 2013 (Exhibit B3); Treasurer’s Report for the month ending October 31, 2013 (Exhibit B4); Gifts received for the month ending November 30, 2013 (Exhibit B5); Advertising revenue received by November 30, 2013 (Exhibit B6); Contract with Richfield Bus Company for athletic and field trip motorcoach services when school groups and teams travel long distances between January 2014 and June 2015; with the contract renewable at the district’s option for a three-year period beginning July 2015 (Exhibit B7); A $2,500 grant from 3M Corporation for Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science to purchase laptops to run the 3D printer and laser cutter (Exhibit B8); A $1,000 Community Service

grant from Eagan Rotary Club for Glacier Hills Elementary School to help fund a position for the STEAM Room (Exhibit B9); A $2,500 School Improvement grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation for improvements around Dakota Ridge School (Exhibit B10); Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Apple Valley for the purchase and storage of road salt, effective on the date approved and signed, and continuing until the contract is terminated (Exhibit B11); Separations, leaves of absence and new staff (Exhibit C1), and Pay rates for substitute, temporary and part-time employees as specified in Exhibit C2. Assessment Coordinator Michelle DeMers reported results for the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) and Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR). The MCAs are state tests given annually to measure student achievement on the Minnesota academic standards in reading, math and science. The MMR is a school accountability system that measures proficiency, growth and achievement gap reduction based on MCA scores, plus graduation rate for high schools. DeMers said the percentages of District 196 students who met or exceeded state standards on the MCAs were above state averages for all grades tested in all three subjects. There continues to be an achievement gap, however there has been a slight improvement in math since 2011, the first year standards were changed. The second year of the MCA science test indicates an improvement in scores for all ethnic groups. She reviewed MCA results by grade level for each subject and noted District 196 students scored a higher percentage proficient than the state average. The MMR replaced Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as part of the state’s waiver to the federal No Child Left Behind. Each public school in Minnesota receives an MMR score based on MCAs and calculated using the results of the MCA reading and math tests students took in spring 2013. Each of the four measurements is worth up to 25 points with a school earning points based on its rank compared to other schools in the state. Because of the ranking, small differences in student scores can cause large changes in rank and the number of points a school earns in any area. Points are awarded for performance of students as a whole, within each of five ethnic groups, and three other subgroups (special education, English languages services and free- or reduced-price school meals). Compared with 2012 data, MMR scores increased for 24 schools and decreased for 6 schools, and high schools were at 95 points or higher out of a possible 100. DeMers said as a whole, students scored well above state averages for all grades in all subject areas; some progress has been made in closing the achievement gap and 24 of 30 schools saw their MMR score increase in 2013. Director of Teaching and Learning Steve Troen asked the board to approve high school course revisions for the 2014-15 school year (Exhibit D). He noted there was one change from the courses he presented at the November 12 board meeting. The CIS Mandarin Beginning Course will not be offered at Eagan High School due to enrollment and teacher certification constraints. Motion by Schutte, seconded by Magnuson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the course revisions. Director of Finance and Op-

erations Jeff Solomon asked the board to approve the final levy certification for the 2013 (payable 2014) property tax levy (Exhibit E) of $78,241,390; a six percent increase and the first since 2010. He reviewed the levy certification process, gave an overview of basic school funding and an analysis of the property tax levy. In September the board authorized a maximum preliminary property tax levy certification of $68,183,697.30, a decrease of $5,600,831.58 or 7.59 percent from last year. Solomon noted those figures did not include the new referendum authority voters approved in November 2013. While district voters approved a $10 million per year levy, property taxes will increase by less than half that amount due to significant additional equalization aid from the state. Solomon said local property taxes account for approximately 19 percent of all revenues the district will receive this year. State aids and credits provide the largest share at 57 percent, with 3 percent coming from federal aid and 21 percent from other sources. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Coulson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to certify the property tax levy. Solomon presented the 2013-14 final budget (Exhibit F). He outlined the process used to develop the final budget which includes adjustments to the preliminary budget that more accurately reflect previous estimates and projected enrollments. Solomon shared an overview of revenues and expenditures for all funds and noted the projected general fund balance is slightly above $25 million, or 8.02 percent of the expenditure budget. Board policy requires a minimum general fund balance of 5 percent. The total budget for 201314, including all operating funds (general, special education, quality compensation, transportation, capital expenditure, food service and community education) and non-operating funds (building construction, debt service and trusts), shows estimated revenues of $397,684,994; expenditures of $401,195,091 and a projected yearend fund balance of $76,002,226. Solomon stressed the fund balance does not equal dollars available as some funds may only be used for certain expenses and nearly half of the balance is the other postemployment benefits (OPEB) trust. The board is expected to act on the final budget at its January 6 meeting. Director of Human Resources Tom Pederstuen asked the board to approve the collective bargaining agreement with Service Employees International Union, Local 284, representing bus driver, chaperone and crossing guard employees (Exhibit G), which was ratified on November 21, 2013. The agreement is effective July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015 and terms include: • Increasing Step 1 of each salary schedule by $.33 per hour and all other steps by $.50 per hour for first year, and all steps $.47 per hour the second year; • Increasing longevity by $.39 per hour the first year and $.20 per hour the second year, and adding another longevity step for employees after 14 years of service of $.25 per hour; • Maintaining the monthly district contributions toward health insurance in the first year of the agreement, and increasing the contribution as of July 1, 2014 to $664 for single, $1,422 for single plus one dependent and $1,872 for family coverage; • Increasing the annual district contribution matching fund plan by

$50 as of July 1, 2014, and • Other minor language modifications. Pederstuen noted the total cost of the contract is within the parameters set by the School Board. Berenz recognized the hard work and long hours of the bargaining teams. Motion by Coulson, seconded by Schutte and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the agreement. Jodie Zesbaugh, financial advisor with Ehlers & Associates Inc., presented the Sale Report for the Resolution Relating to Lease-Purchase Financing and $13,710,000 Certificates of Participation, Series 2013B (Exhibit H), which will be used to design and build the early childhood/adult basic education (EC/ABE) facility in Apple Valley. Zesbaugh noted the rating assigned was Aa2, one step below the highest Moody’s rating due to the district’s general obligation debt that is outstanding and the Aa2 was expected. The School Board has the option every year to approve the lease funding due to an annual appropriations clause that is part of a lease-purchase transaction, and thus it has slightly more risk. The winning underwriter was Baird of Milwaukee with a true interest rate of 3.4088%, slightly higher than estimated. The closing is set for December 30, 2013. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Magnuson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution. Solomon asked the board to approve a Resolution Establishing Procedures for Reimbursement of Certain Expenditures from Proceeds of Future Bond Issues or Other Borrowings (Exhibit I). The resolution will allow the district to pay construction costs for the new EC/ABE facility prior to the December 30 closing on the sale of certificates and reimburse those funds after the sale. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Roseen and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution. Schutte reported he attended Eastview High School’s production of Legally Blonde and commented on the students’ talent. Berenz also attended performances at Eastview and Rosemount high schools. She reported that more than 650 high school students were recognized by the College Board as AP (Advanced Placement) scholars; that District 196 students who participated in the College in the Schools program last year earned a combined 5,432 University of Minnesota credits valued at more than $2.5 million and that student participation continues to increase in dual-enrollment programs that allow them to earn college credit while in high school. Berenz reported the City of Apple Valley and District 196 have held meetings with neighbors of the EC/ABE facility to address concerns they expressed at the November board meeting and that construction was progressing. She announced she was proud that the district continues to serve nearly 90 percent of all schoolaged children who live in the district. The 88 percent capture rate is considered among the highest in the metro area and speaks favorably of the public’s satisfaction. Motion by Schutte, seconded by Magnuson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to adjourn the meeting at 7:30 p.m. Published in the Dakota County Tribune January 16, 2014 161044

Farmington’s Community Calendar is published by the city to educate residents on city policies, procedures and events, but it’s also filled with images submitted by residents. Since 2006, the city has been gathering submitted photos from residents and using those photos as central images in its free community calendar. “It gives it a personality and shows what the people who live here, work here, and go to school here really like about Farming-

ton,� said Lena Larson, calendar project coordinator. “It makes it more personal.� Danielle Cahlander, calendar designer, said the city thinks of it as a Christmas present to the community. A calendar is sent to each resident and business in Farmington, usually prior to Christmas and the first of the upcoming calendar year. Photos for the calendar are collected through the Focus on Farmington photo contest. The number of submitted photos vary from 85 to 125, but Cahlander said their lowest supply of photos come during the winter months when fewer residents are out and about. Photos can be submitted year-round,

but the photo deadline for the 2015 calendar is Aug. 18. The city is looking for photos that illustrate Farmington’s appeal. Once the photo deadline has passed, the city will post all submitted photos online for residents to cast their ballots. The toppicked photos will be featured in the calendar with credit given to the winning photographers. The 2014 photo contest winners were Jenny Olmanson, Stephanie Newman, Krystal Ludgate, Hailee Unruh, Gary Hatle, Jon O’Brien, Megan Sowieja, Brendan Roger Stieren, Dolly Newberg, Alicia Brule, Jason Jensen and Stephanie Henricks. Those photos, along

with others not printed in the calendar, are also used in other Farmington publications, including on the city’s Facebook page. If photos include people, especially recognizable people at non-public events, photographers must submit a signed photo release form. According to the city’s website, parents or guardians must provide written authorization for any photographs of minors. Larson said the best part of her job is looking over the submitted photos. “It’s really fun to see what people are out doing and taking pictures of,� she said. “I especially love the ones that have action.� The city began the community calendar by gath-

ering photos in 2006. The first calendar was released for 2007. Cahlander said previously the city had been sending a large amount of different information in a variety of formats and decided it would be nice to have all that information in one location. This also cut down on the amount of mail that residents were receiving from the city. Thus the community calendar was born. The community calendar includes information about the city, park maps, election information, and a color-coded format so residents can easily see what types of events and deadlines are coming up. There are also advertising opportunities for

local businesses through monthly sponsorships. The city prints extra calendars, which are available to Farmington residents by calling 651-2806905. To find out more and submit photos, go to the city’s web page, www. c i . f a r m i n g t o n . m n . u s. Click on the Community Calendar and Photo Contest tab on the left side of the home page. For information about advertising opportunities, contact Larson, llarson@ ci.farmington.mn.us or 651-280-6905. If you have design suggestions, contact Cahlander, dcahlander@ ci.farmington.mn.us or 651-280-6807.

Sports Eastview, Eagan win Nordic races by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Just like the old neighborhood Three area boys hockey teams play outside at TCF Bank Stadium by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Memories of young boys zipping around the neighborhood ice rink materialized Saturday as Eastview, Eagan and Lakeville South played in the High School Hockey Faceoff at TCF Bank Stadium. While the boys were able to relive a sliver of their youth during the outdoor games, only Eastview emerged with a key win as it edged rival Eagan in overtime. “The experience was a very positive one for our players,� Lakeville South coach Kurt Weber said. “I think it says it all that, when we arrived and walked down the tunnel to go look at the rink, every player’s cellphone went up and pictures were being tweeted, texted, emailed, snap-chatted all over the world.� Weber said the players felt very fortunate to get the opportunity, since outdoor games have gained momentum from high profile contests in the NHL and college ranks. “It was a very fun experience for our players to play in such a neat venue,� Eagan coach Mike Taylor said. “The rink was very nice and the ice was good.� Taylor said he would like to see two or three such events organized each year, but on a limited basis, so the outdoor games remain special. “I definitely think more outdoor games should be organized,� Weber said. “It is a very positive experience for the players, lifelong memorizes and for the game of high school hockey in Minnesota.� While South lost 6-4 to Bloomington Jefferson, in the Faceoff’s final game under the lights, John Snodgrass found the net at the 6-minute, 51-second mark of overtime to send the Lightning to a win over the Wildcats. Snodgrass assisted on Eastview’s two other goals. The first gave Eastview a Email Tad Johnson at 1-0 lead when Snodgrass tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

The Level 8 team had a strong start on the vault with Taylor Thorberg, of Farmington, posting 9.25 for second place. Natalie Meyer, of Lakeville, won the event in her age group with 9.175. Kaitlin O’Tool of Hastings rounded out the top three with 8.7. Meyer swung her way to a third-place finish on the uneven bars with 9.1 while Thorberg and Teagan Ramboldt, of Eagan,

brought in scores of 8.725 (sixth) and 8.325 (11th), respectively. On the balance beam, Thorberg and O’Tool tied for the team’s highest score of 8.5 for 10th place. Meyer received 8.275. On the floor exercise, O’Tool and Indya Volk, of Lakeville, brought in the top two scores for the team with 8.725 (11th) and 8.675 (12th), respectively. Sarah Wilken, of Eagan, tumbled her way into the scorer’s circle with 8.6. In the all-around, Meyer received sixth place with 35.075. Thorberg received 10th with 34.775 and O’Tool finished with 33.925. These top three scorers all earned the State Championship qualifying score. Also competing for TAGS South were Talia Whitmore, of Inver Grove Heights, and Mackenzie Hughes, of Red Wing. The Level 9 team consisted of three athletes, but only one, Aspen Schrempp, of Eagan, competed in every event, thus earning an all-around score. Schrempp received first See TAGS, 8A

and Keith Muehlbauer connected with Mitchell Cerrato, who scored at the 2:37 mark of the first period. Eagan retaliated with a power-play goal from Kyle Stebbing at the 8:50 mark. Assists were credited to Jack Jenson and Tommy Muck. Jenson pulled the Wildcats into the lead with an unassisted, short-handed goal at the 4:39 mark of the second period. Snodgrass fed Pierce Erickson for the game-tying goal at the 9:37 mark of the second. Both goalies were stout throughout the game, but especially in the third when they stopped everything that came their way. Eastview’s Zachary Driscoll turned away 39 of Eagan’s 41 shots on goal, while Andrew Lindgren had 26 saves. Lakeville South found itself in a 2-0 hole after less than 3 minutes had ticked off the clock in its midafternoon matchup with Bloomington Jefferson. The Cougars could never claw completely out of that hole, but drew within a goal three times only to see Jaguars sprint back in under a minute each to extend their advantage by two tallies. South fell to Jefferson 6-4 as it drew blanks on four of its power-play chances and netted on only one – Nick Swaney’s goal in the third period. The Cougars’ three other tallies came off the stick of Nick Oelrich, whose hat trick goals came in the first and two in third period when South outscored the Jaguars 3-2. Patrick Lauderdale had assists on all of Lakeville’s goals. Other assists came from Patrick Daly, Nolan Sullivan and Drew Byers. South’s Daniel Swail had 17 saves in goal.

Eagan also had the eighth-place skier – Brady Mavetz, who finished in 14:50. Eagan scored 165 points to win the boys team competition. ISD 196 had 130 points, one more than Lakeville South. Sean Tuff (12th, 15:26) and Grant Udelhofen (16th, 15:51) also placed in the top 20 for ISD 196. Lakeville South was led by Mitchell Miller (15:05) and Jack Gerken (15:24), who finished 10th and 11th. Noah LeVesseur and Matthew Schiroo were 17th and 18th, and Noah Hanson took 20th place.

“It’s all to be worked out in the plan, but the plan for the start is to be budget neutral,â€? Superintendent Jay Haugen said. Much of the plan specifics depend on teachers hired for the school. “It’s sort of the chicken and the egg ‌ that you need your teachers to know these answers, but we want these answers before we let you hire the teachers,â€? Lee said. “One thing we can tell you is maybe we can come up with a working plan as long as everyone knows full well that we might need to adjust or change,â€? Haugen said. No decision was made at the meeting, but the district is hoping to have approval from the board by the Jan. 27 meeting so teachers can be hired and the application process for students can be started. “I actually am very excited about this school and I hope that we can figure out how to make this work,â€? Lee said, “because I think this is such a great idea. If we can hammer out all these concerns and details, I’m really excited about it.â€?

Right now, the city is evaluating the types of topics that are often reported to make dropdown choices for those most common issues. But one of the things Wendlandt said the city likes about SeeClickFix is that even after the app is live, there will be opportunities to add or change items as people begin to use it.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE January 16, 2014

as one of 20 communities across the nation to take part in the first class of those aiming to become Leadership STAR Communities for 2014. The city was selected, in part, because of the projected UMore development, which the University of Minnesota is touting as a sustainable community and is expected to include concepts such as walkable developments, efficient use of resources, mass transit options and green design. “That was certainly a thrust of the application,� Community Development Director Kim Lindquist said. “We have something that other communities don’t have.� She said the STAR process should help the city and university as they work to make sure their development goals are common. The communities aiming to be certified STAR, which stands for Sustainability Tools for Accessing and Rating, will be supported by national experts and training opportunities. The city has hired an intern to collect most of the data, which the city says will take several hundred work hours to assemble, that will serve as a benchmark to assess the city’s FUNDS, from 1A ward the original goal of $71,000. Appeals for more donations continued to chip away at the total until late July, when Lighthouse organized the Rosemount Leprechaun Days Bathtub Races that raised another $8,000. Impact Lives didn’t pressure One Rosemount to come up with the money right away, and the nonprofit also lowered the amount needed by about $20,000. “I can’t speak more highly of Impact Lives,� Goodwin said. “They have been trusting of the people of One Rosemount and in

current sustainability rating. “Not all of the information is readily available,� Lindquist said. The rating will attempt to show areas in which the city is strong and where it could improve with regard to housing, energy systems, transportation and quality of life factors, such as noise, air and water quality. It will also help guide the City Council’s policy and planning decisions. “Our City Council is committed to making sure Rosemount remains a great place to work and live,� Mayor Bill Droste said in a press release. “All cities will face challenges related to growth and to trends in energy and environmental factors. Rosemount’s participation in STAR Communities will give us an advantage in meeting these challenges.� The city will receive a $3,750 scholarship from the Funder’s Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities to pay for part of the training costs. Lindquist said the city should have some preliminary information about the city’s sustainability in about six months. “We are excited about working with other peer communities going through the same process

at the same time,� she said. Only three other Midwest cities were selected – two in Iowa and one in Illinois. “The diversity of communities and their commitment to improving sustainability outcomes will make for a truly rich experience for all in the 2014 program,� Hilari Varnadore, STAR Communities executive director, said in a release. “The excitement and momentum around Tacoma, Washington’s recent STAR Certification shows that U.S. cities and counties are serious about tracking economic, environmental and social progress within their communities.� This is the nation’s first voluntary, self-reporting framework for evaluating, quantifying and improving sustainability, according to the National League of Cities, a founding partner of STAR, along with the U.S. Green Building Council, ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability USA, and the Center for American Progress. To learn more about the program, go online to www.STARcommunities. org.

their faith as well. ‌ We never felt any pressure. They have been very understanding.â€? The funds will cover the cost of shipping and the raw materials, including about 3,000 pounds of food in vacuum-packed packages that have a shelf life of about three years. “I didn’t want to have to wait three years to raise the money to ship it,â€? Goodwin said with a laugh. One Rosemount had initially planned to send a small group of Rosemount residents to help Impact Lives in distributing the food and offering other services in Haiti. While that group trip was

canceled, Goodwin encouraged local residents to contact Impact Lives directly to learn how they might help. As for another foodpacking event, Goodwin said it might be something done once every two years or so. He said he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from Rosemount residents during the effort, which shows how supportive the community is.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE January 16, 2014

13A

Thisweekend THE FORCE WAS WITH THEM

There was no shortage of eye-catching sci-fi costumery at the Star Wars Extravaganza held Saturday, Jan. 11, at the Steeple Center in Rosemount. Hosted by the Rosemount Area Arts Council and the Robert Trail Library, the event included a kids costume exhibition and family photo opportunities with characters from the 501st Legion, a volunteer group of characters from the popular George Lucas film series that’s set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Far left: Princess Leia was well represented at the event, with Robert Trail children’s librarian Kathy Kleckner, left, and Tamara Scott of Rosemount coming dressed as the sciencefictional princess;. Top: Characters from the 501st Legion in attendance included Imperial Stormtroopers and even a Tusken Raider. Near left: Kids were encouraged to come dressed in costume and have their photos taken with Darth Maul and other 501st Legion actors. (Photos by Andrew Miller)

Young actor adapts to the jungle

Eighteen-year-old Landon Franke is cast as the titular ape-man and Claire Vietti, 15, plays Jane in Children’s Castle Theater’s production of “Tarzan.� The musical runs Jan. 17-26 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. (Photo submitted)

Farmington HS 12th-grader cast as lead in ‘Tarzan’ SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In his first leading role, Landon Franke finds himself swinging from vine to vine. The Farmington High School 12th-grader plays the bare-chested title character in Children’s Castle Theater’s production of “Tarzan,� which runs this month at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. The part requires a good deal of physical exertion, and the high-energy Franke, adorned in a dreadlock wig and loin cloth in the show, is up to the challenge of playing the jungle-dwelling apeman. “It’s quite an experience because there’s a lot of movement – swinging on vines, handstands, cartwheels, somersaults,� he explained. “It’s actually really fun.� “Tarzan,� adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, is Franke’s fourth show with Dakota County-based Children’s Castle Theater. Joining

him in the 130-member cast are some familiar faces – his dad, Curtis, is cast as an ape, and his twin siblings Ramsey and Brielle, both 15, play baby Tarzan’s mother and father. The family has been preparing for their parts in the show together, Franke said. “We’ll sit in the living room and read lines together,� he said. “And over Christmas we took a road trip to Duluth and threw in the ‘Tarzan’ CD – we rocked out to ‘Tarzan’ in the car.� Franke got his start in theater his freshman year at Farmington High School with a part in “The Idiot’s Guide to High School.� He took to theater immediately and has regularly appeared in shows at the school, most recently the fall 2012 production of “The Music Man.� “When I got to high school and found theater, it was like, ‘Hey, this is for me,’ � he said, adding that he hopes to continue acting next year when he be-
