2012 levy frozen, but many to see tax hikes BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

The end of an era Busch had front-row seat as school district blossomed BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com
Sitting on the stage at the 2010 Shakopee High School graduation, Kathy Busch had an “aha� moment. Surrounded by fellow board members, school administrators, hundreds of graduates and families, the longtime Shakopee School Board member realized these happy graduates in their shiny caps and gowns and glittering smiles were not born when she first took the oath of office. For 19 years, Busch has been a School Board mainstay, known for her calm demeanor and diplomatic ways. She’s watched the district grow from a small, rural outpost to one of the state’s largest, adding five buildings and expanding four others.

A favorable labor contract with Scott County’s largest union enabled county commissioners on Tuesday to freeze the county’s property tax levy for 2012; however, this move won’t spare some businesses and farmers from eye-popping tax increases due to state changes. Cou nty Com missioner Dave Menden of Shakopee heard from one commercial property owner whose taxes are set to go up $11,000 and another whose tax will rise by $5,500. “They are such hard-working people and good people,� Menden said. “We try to get these small businesses to hire people. To me it’s a joke, we keep nailing them. It’s not necessarily us, but a lot of what the state did.� In addition to approving a flat 2012 levy of $60.5 million, the county

City Council gives employees 2% raise BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
After 19 years on the Shakopee School Board, Kathy Busch bid farewell Dec. 12 at her final School Board meeting.
on Tuesday ratified two-year labor contacts with three of its nine unions. Agreements were reached with AFSCME (the largest), 49ers and correctional staff, which along with non-bargaining staff make up 86 percent of the county’s labor force. No general raises were awarded for either 2012 or 2013, but employees will be eligible for small merit pay increases. They can earn one-time lump sums equivalent to one-quarter to 1 percent of their salaries for 2012. Depending on the outcome of performance reviews, bonuses could total around $200,000. The following year, members of the three affected unions will be eligible for a one-half to 4 percent adjustment to their base salary, depending on performance. Employees who don’t meet gen-

A week after the Shakopee City Council approved a flat tax levy for 2012, it approved 2 percent raises for police and nonunion employees. The city had only budgeted for 1 percent salary increases, but after negotiating a 2 percent raise with the police union, it was able to use other savings to bring everyone’s pay up 2 percent without additional cost. Other employees hadn’t received the same pay increases police received the last two years. “We found a way in this year’s budget to get back on a level-playing field for all employees,� Assistant City Administrator Kris Wilson

told the council. During negotiations, the city found its police officers were about 1.75 percent below the average pay of comparable suburbs (Chaska, Chanhassen, Prior Lake, Savage, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Woodbury, Inver Grove Heights, Cottage Grove and Andover). “After looking at our other employee groups too, we felt 2 percent

Experiencing a new culture – and improving their English — is what brought all the exchange students to Shakopee. Italy. “I miss the warmth of my family and my relatives.� The students recently sat down to reflect on their fi rst American Christmas and New Year’s. While many traditions are similar to home — dinner with family, Christmas trees and gift exchanges — some things are very different. Topping that list is Americans’ love of decorations, particularly Christmas lights, the students said. Americans also tend to put up their Christmas trees much earlier
than Europeans. “Here the Christmas tree is sometimes fake and there’s so many things on it,� German student Caroline Lembke, 16, said. In Germany, Rika Strahl’s family marks the season with a 24-day advent calendar.

Ex-school aide admits to sex acts with student She could face up to 90 days Former Shakopee teacher’s aide Michelle Rose Chlan admitted in court Dec. 14 to performing sexual acts on a male student in her car behind a Burnsville department store in 2009. Chlan, who was fired in April, pleaded guilty in Dakota County District Court to felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct. Two charges involving similar alleged incidents in 2009 and 2010 will be dismissed in accordance with the plea ag reement, which also calls for a cap of 90 days in jail.
Chlan, now 2 7, m e t t h e teen at school and supervised one of his classes. S he wa s ac cused of performing oral sex on him when he was Michelle 16 and 17. Chlan The student later told his friends about the incidents, which led to Chlan being criminally charged this spring and fi red from her job super visi ng i n-school suspension at Shakopee Junior High. According to the teen, Chlan gave him a ride home one day after football because he was
unable to contact his mother. She gave him her phone number in case he ever needed a ride. Chlan then provided the boy rides to friends’ houses, a summer festival in Mankato and to the mall, according to details of the criminal complaint. Sometime in the summer of 2009, Chlan performed oral sex on the teen in her car behind Kmart in Burnsville. He claimed she did this twice more in 2009 and mid-2010. Other students heard about the incidents, which were relayed to a teacher or administrator. Police began investigating in March. Chlan initially denied the allegations, but when confronted with evidence, ad-
mitted to at least three acts of sexual contact with the student. She told police she knew it was wrong because she supervised the teen at school. The paraprofessional was immediately placed on leave and later terminated. She had worked in the school district since August 2007. According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Tuesday dismissed Chlan’s argument that she wasn’t in a position of authority when the incidents occurred. A jury trial scheduled to begin Dec. 13 was cancelled when Chlan decided to plea. Her sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 21. Shannon Fiecke

Local soldier, a Dakota County sheriff’s employee, charged with sexual abuse A Shakopee soldier who was preparing for an overseas deployment was arrested in Indiana last week on allegations that he molested two girls in Scott County. Raul Rubio Mascorro, 35, who is a Dakota County correctional deputy — was jailed near his military camp in Indiana after being charged in Scott County with two counts of fi rstand second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Earlier this month, a Shakopee girl told her school counselor that Mascorro sexually abused her for two years. She also reported that he masturbated in her room and offered her $300 to $400 to try to get her to have sexual intercourse with Raul him. She said she was afraid to say anything Mascorro until Mascorro left for Afghanistan. Investigators interviewed another girl who claimed she was repeatedly molested as well. Detectives found a two-inch hole cut in the crotch of her Sponge Bob pajama pants, matching her account. A hole was cut in the other girl’s pajamas, too. A soldier with the Army, Mascorro was admitted to the hospital, claiming to be suicidal, after a relative confronted him over the phone on Dec. 10. He allegedly told her he assaulted one of the girls, but “only as much as she was comfortable with.” Mascorro knew the girls through a family member. Employed since July 2006 with the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, Mascorro last worked Nov. 16 and is on military leave until December 2012. In 2008, he won an innovation award for his work as a jailer, according to a department newsletter. According to the criminal complaint, Mascorro admitted to military and hospital staff that he sexually abused both girls. He is being held in Johnson County, Ind. Shannon Fiecke
Olsen gets 30 years in prison for sex crime Travis Allan Olsen, 38, of Prior Lake, was sentenced Tuesday in Carver County District Court to 30 years in prison after being convicted of fi rst-degree criminal sexual conduct. Judge Philip T. Kanning ordered that after release from prison, Olsen will be subject to conditional release for the remainder of his life, which allows the state commissioner of corrections to take Olsen back into custody for a violation of the law. It was the maximum sentence allowed under the law, according to Carver County Attorney Mark Metz. Kanning also made a preliminary determination that a petition for civil commitment as Travis a sexually dangerous person for Olsen is apOlsen propriate. On Sept. 20, following a seven-day trial, a Carver County jury found Olsen guilty. The jury heard evidence that, between January and April 2008, Olsen had sexual intercourse several times with a pre-teen girl in a Carver County home. He also engaged in sexual intercourse with the girl after April 2008, according to court testimony. Olsen was previously convicted of fi rst- and third-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is considered a Level 3 predatory offender. Pat Minelli
2 kilos of heroin bound for county seized A California woman was arrested Dec. 10 at the MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport with 2 kilograms of black tar heroin, allegedly bound for the Scott County area.
Authorities estimate the street value of the heroin at $640,000, according to a press release. The Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and Carver County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the MSP Airport Police, Northwest Hennepin Drug Task Force, agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Homeland Security Investigations (HIS), arrested the 25-year-old woman after she exited the flight and retrieved luggage at the baggage claim. Drug task force agents obtained consent from the woman to search her luggage. The bottom of her luggage contained a false compartment that was inconsistent with similar bags, the release stated. Inside the false compartment of the bag, agents allegedly found a wrapped package, weighing approximately 4.4 pounds. Inside the wrapped package was a substance the agents suspect was heroin. The task force earlier received a tip that the woman was a drug courier and planned to deliver the heroin to the Scott County area. Kristin Holtz

Suspected heroin safe house found here Tipped off by a drug informant, detectives repeatedly tracked a Chevrolet Tahoe earlier this month between an alleged drug safe house in Shakopee and a Minneapolis residence. Detectives watched the vehicle after being alerted to 24-yearold Armando Diaz-Gomez by the girlfriend of a former client, according to a criminal complaint fi led in Scott County District Court. Diaz-Gomez and a woman were renting the basement of a single-family home on the 2000 block of Queen Avenue in Shakopee. Shakopee police obtained a warrant to search the basement apartment on Dec. 7 after allegedly fi nding two baggies with heroin residue in the garbage. In the basement, detectives located a locked suitcase with a handgun, loaded magazines and approximately 3 pounds of heroin and 40 balloons of cocaine, according to court documents. Ten cell phones were confiscated from the Minneapolis residence. The Queen Avenue homeowner told police Diaz-Gomez rented the basement apartment with a female. Diaz-Gomez admitted going to the basement apartment in Shakopee to pick up heroin and deliver it around the Twin Cities, according to the criminal compliant. In his pants pocket, police allegedly found a key to the suitcase. The woman who lived there told police Diaz-Gomez hired her to clean the apartment and watch over the drugs. Diaz-Gomez is in the custody of federal immigration agents.

The strong odor of marijuana alerted Canterbury Park security officers on Dec. 11 to a car containing Walter William Finch, 37, of Maplewood and John Charles Barber, 50, of Le Center. They asked the two to get out of the car and found a brick of marijuana in the vehicle, according to criminal complaints. Barber allegedly told Shakopee police he came to Canterbury to buy one pound of marijuana for $1,000 from Finch. Finch told police the money was in his girlfriend’s purse. The Scott County Attorney’s Office has charged Finch with the fi rst-degree sale of drugs and Barber with fi rst-degree drug possession. Both are felonies.

Our Christmas wish: Year of renewed energy, spirit The Christmas and New Year’s holiday season is a time for reflection, good will and hope. For Christians and non-Christians alike, it is the dawning of a new year, bringing with it hopes and expectations for what is to come. It is during this season when the best comes out of most people, when we witness a glimpse of the world as we wish it were year-round. The world — indeed, life itself — is full of good and bad, and after experiencing a proliferation of good during the holidays, we naturally anticipate the good will for the whole year ahead. But just as children face disappointment when Christmas is
over for another year, we all fi nd too often that the special holiday spirit slips away from us. Perhaps we all can make strides to change that, by making a point to help others throughout the year, especially now when so many of our friends and neighbors are in financial straits. Think of how much better our world would be if we did so. And, valued readers, during this holiday season, may you enjoy friends and family, share with those less fortunate, reflect on what good fortune is yours, and renew your energy and spirit for the year ahead. Merry Christmas from all of us at the Valley News!
Marriage is snoring, kids and doggy-doo Please don’t misunderstand: I wish you a Merry Christmas
One morning not long ago, I awoke to find my husband’s side of the bed empty. He came into the room a few minutes later. I asked where he’d been and he said I’d been snoring so he left for a quieter venue on the couch. I thought about disputing the snoring allegation (clearly I do not snore), but rolled over for a few extra minutes of sleep instead. When the same set of events unfolded a few days later, I felt it was time to address the situation. “Honey,” I said in my gentlest of morning voices, “You’ve been snoring every night for the last 10 years and I don’t get up and leave. It’s called marriage.” He didn’t give me much of a reply, but every morning since, his head’s been on the pillow next to mine. For my husband and me, this wasn’t about noises in the night, but about the things we do in the name of wedded bliss. (Like pretending our spouse doesn’t snore.) I’ve been married for over 20 (consecutive) years to the same person. Like most brides, I walked down the aisle with glitter in my shoes and visions of sugarplums in my future. Marriage was going to be a piece of cake — a walk in the park. I just knew it. What I didn’t consider is cake can grow stale and a walk in the park can result in doggy-doo on your shoes. Marriage can be messy because life can be messy. I have a friend who’s tried the whole marriage thing a time or two. She tells me my life is easy because I’ve been married for 20 years. Anyone who thinks being married for 20 years is easy has not been married for 20 years. When I said, “I do,” I never contemplated snoring, stinky feet or flatulence. I didn’t think about times when money might be scarce and the bills abundant. Things like plugged toilets and clogged sinks weren’t even a blip on my radar. I thought my husband and I would agree on everything from how to squeeze the toothpaste tube to the best way to discipline our children. I believed we’d never ever go to bed angry and by all means we’d always communicate effectively without misinterpretation or misunderstandings. I’ve learned a lot in the last two decades. I’ve learned sometimes you take your spouse for granted and let little things get under your skin. When this happens, it’s important to ignore your skin. I’ve learned a marriage starts with love, but a good marriage contains healthy
Jill
PERTLER SLICES OF LIFE
doses of patience, understanding, persistence, trust and a smidgen of luck. I’ve learned disagreements get solved faster if both a husband and wife are willing to apologize more than half the time. I’ve learned you never give up on your spouse. I’ve learned most worthwhile things in life are not always easy. Marriage is near the top of the list. More than 20 years ago, I married my best friend. He’s been by my side and had my back ever since. I, in turn, have had his. We’ve raised tomatoes, goldfish and children. We share the same last name and the same inside jokes. If one of our kids does something cute or smart, we catch each other’s eye with a knowing glance that makes my heart thump. When he’s away, I miss him. We’ve squabbled and we’ve loved, but mostly we’ve made it work. Together. Marriage can be a piece of cake and a walk in the park — as long as you are willing to rebake your cake every so often and watch the ground for doggie-doo with each step forward. And, if your spouse is snoring, I advise you don’t get up and leave — unless you plan to come right back.

CORRECTION Last week’s Page 1 story, “Farmers, some homeowners feel tax-change squeeze” requires correction. Scott County had a flat tax levy in 2010, not 2011. It was 1.6 percent higher this year.

I strive to be clear in all that I do, especially when I communicate. For I feel that if my message is not received as I intended then I have failed. So when I came across a phrase that seemed contrary to that attitude I paused and I pondered. It read: “I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.” Perhaps I don’t understand the message (which is the beginning of a big circular argument), but I can not help but disagree. It seems lazy and self-centered, a “that’s your problem, not mine,” kind of thinking. When we speak, it is our responsibility to be understood, otherwise what’s the point? What if I were to write, “I’m only responsible for what I write, not what you understand”? I think most would agree that I was missing the point in writing. What would we think of a teacher when the entire class consistently failed? If the teacher was not understood then perhaps the teacher had failed as well. It takes effort to ensure that your message is understood. That’s what I dislike about the new way of communicating (texting, e-mailing, social media, etc.). It’s too easy to have your message manipulated and misunderstood. I fear we have become too dependent on these types of exchanges. They are poor

substitutes for face-to-face conversations where pauses, inflections, facial expressions and body language can communicate a concept better. Ben Franklin once wrote: “The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much; always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends; never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can; to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose.” Speaking to one another, or conversing, is an exchange in which an idea or thought is shared and passed back and forth. During my junior high school years my friend Tom and I walked to school together. Often we would kick a
rock back and forth the entire way (almost a mile). Sometimes we would continue the exchange into the school building: kicking and talking. We would kick the rock in a way where the other guy could have a turn without too much effort. It was like playing catch, where you throw the ball so the other guy has a good chance of catching it. That’s our responsibility in speaking — being certain that the other person can grasp your meaning. For instance, this is the Christmas season and I prefer to say “Merry Christmas,” instead of “Happy Holidays,” as I want to be clear as to what holiday I am celebrating. I said “Happy Thanksgiving” on the 24th of November; I will say “Happy New Year” at the end of this month and the beginning of the next, but for now it’s Christmas. You may not always agree with what I say, but if we understand each other we have a better chance of finding common ground. As Dennis Prager states, “I prefer clarity over agreement.” Merry Christmas. Jerry Kucera of Sand Creek Township owns a Shakopee insurance agency and is a Valley News community columnist.

TV shows smoke out the past Americans love to revisit history, whether it is inside the doors of a museum, on the pages of a history book, or on television. This includes the millions of us who love watching Enoch “Nucky” Thompson on “Boardwalk Empire,” which is set during Prohibition, as well as Don Draper of “Mad Men,” and his coworkers at Sterling Cooper Advertising in the 1960s. Comparing their lifestyles to today’s norms is just as interesting as analyzing the characters themselves. For instance, the United States has spent decades trying to get people to stop smoking and, more recently, protecting people from secondhand smoke exposure. Slowly but surely, smoking has become less acceptable, and today’s norm is that smoking is not allowed in public places such as workplaces, restaurants, bars, and many outdoor spaces. It’s hard for most of us to imagine working in an office while someone next to us chain-smokes like Mad Men’s Don Draper. As much as I dislike seeing people smoke on TV, these period shows remind us how far we’ve come.

MCKONE GUEST COMMENTARY
When Minnesota began taking steps to clear the air of tobacco smoke, it was hard to find a location that was off limits to smoking. Even hospitals allowed it. Imagine babies taking their first breaths, only to consume their inaugural dose of secondhand smoke. Imagine getting on an airplane and having smokers light up shortly after takeoff. Unthinkable! An estimated 42 percent of Americans were regular smokers in the 1960s, and not many of them were trying to quit. Today roughly 20 percent of American adults
smoke, and nearly 40 percent of them try to quit every year. Four years ago, the state of Minnesota passed the Freedom to Breathe Act, which restricts smoking in nearly all enclosed public places. Minnesota was the 17th state to enact such a law, and 10 more states have since joined the list of smoke-free states. That means more than half of U.S. states now protect their residents and workers with smoke-free policies. It now takes HBO and AMC to remind us that this dangerous behavior used to be the social norm. We can be proud of how far we’ve come over the last 50 years. We can also set goals to further reduce – or eliminate – smoking over the next 50 years. After all, lung cancer is still the leading cancer killer in the United States for both men and women. As we are reminded of how widely accepted smoking was during our nation’s history, let’s not forget to keep working together to reduce the harm caused by tobacco.

Holiday generosity a reminder to put others’ needs first After every snowfall last winter, my girlfriend’s nextdoor neighbor faithfully came over to clear her driveway and sidewalks. My friend is an immigrant who lives halfway around the world from her parents and siblings, so she was truly on her own when she lost her husband unexpectedly in late 2009. A homemaker, she was left to care for a toddler and grade-schooler alone. But when she lost her house to foreclosure a year later, she chose to stay in Shakopee rather than move back to India or the East Coast where she has relatives. Shakopee truly has become home, she said, thanks to the support she has been shown — from her daughter’s tutor helping them move, to a family friend watching her children when she worked the evening shift at Target, to Wells Fargo bankers holding her hand as she sorted through the mess of financial paperwork. It seems no one today can escape the prospect of losing their job, home or savings. Fortunately, Shakopee residents always seem to step up. This was evident on Saturday as families came to the CAP Agency to pick up bundles of gifts that were purchased and wrapped for them — typically by another family in Scott or Carver County. Around 1,200 families signed up to receive Christmas presents — between Saturday’s Hope for the Holidays, which also gave away trees donated by the Boy Scouts, and Tuesday’s toy distribution, where parents could pick out toys for their children to take home and wrap. Initially, I was surprised by the need, which doesn’t even count the families served by their churches or other organizations. It also means another 1,000 families likely donated their time and money to shop for strangers. Wow. One Shakopee woman who came to pick up a package for her three children was truly an inspiration. Jobless since September

and without unemployment assistance, she can’t afford to buy any presents this year. As a Christian family, she believes Christmas is not about presents, but knows what it will be like for her children to return to school and not be able to share in the chatter about what they received for Christmas. She particularly worried about her middle daughter, an 8-year-old with health problems who lives for Christmas. “Christmas and birthdays,” the woman said. She heard of Hope for the Holidays when she applied for food assistance for her toddler. She just asked for family board games for her oldest two and something train-related for her 3-year-old, who loves Thomas the Tank Engine. “It was just a blessing that the [registration] slip was there,” she said. She had warned her kids there might not be presents this year, telling them to be grateful for what they do have — a home and food. She explained why other families have lost their homes. This Christmas, she decided they would start a new tradition. Instead of waking up early to open presents before church, as they always had, they will praise God first and come home to whatever they came home to. Even though there will be presents, they’re not going back on their new tradition. “You don’t know what next year is going to be like,” she said. May we all remember to put God and others first this holiday season — we never know whether we’ll be giving or receiving next year.

400 bikes given away at St. Francis On Saturday, 90 volunteers distributed nearly 400 refurbished bikes and new bike helmets at St. Francis Regional Medical Center to families in need. About 4,000 bikes were donated since October at Allina Hospitals and Clinics sites, including more than 100 bikes at St. Francis and 35 bikes donated by Michael’s Cycles in Prior Lake. Allina employees and physicians were among volunteers who cleaned and repaired the bikes. St. Francis worked
with community partners, including the CAP Agency, Head Start and Shakopee schools, to identify children to receive the bikes on Saturday. “This event is a great example of the power of partnerships in promoting good health in our community,” said Tamara Severtson, director of St. Francis Regional Medical Center’s community engagement. St. Francis is one of 20 Allina sites that hosted bike giveaways. Allina sponsored the program in partnership with Free Bikes 4 Kidz.

BUSCH continued from page 1
But for all its challenges, serving on the School Board never really felt like work, said Busch, 57, who opted not to run for re-election this fall. “I’ve looked forward to every meeting, even when there’s a tough decision,” she said. “It’s fun to be with people who can dream of doing things better or doing this differently or maybe taking a risk.” Serving on the board has been a marriage of Busch’s interests in education, governance and architecture/ construction, she said. Always comfortable in the role, the former high school and early-childhood education teacher enjoyed not only working with the board and district staff, but also the people who approached her while grocery shopping or at a basketball game to talk about school issues. But Shakopee has changed, and Busch misses knowing everyone who works in the schools. “When I got on the board, I probably knew all the staff from just being part of the community,” she said. The board, too, has stepped back, focusing more on the district’s big picture. Busch, known as a champion of early education and for her interest in facility aesthetics, has learned the most important role of a School Board is to hire well, particularly the superintendent. That’s one area she defi nitely feels her board’s got right, fi rst with Jon McBroom and now Rod Thompson.
MAKING DECISIONS Looking back, Busch is most proud of the community’s support for the half-dozen operating and building levy referendums brought before it since 1992. Only once — in 2001 — was a levy rejected. In addition to constructing buildings that look good and stand the test of time, Busch is proud of the partnerships the district has built over the past 20 years, crediting many relationships to former Superintendent McBroom. The district has maintained targeted class sizes, avoided major layoffs, expanded educational and co - curricular offerings (particularly at the high school level) and forged a strong relationship with the Shakopee Education Association. M a r y Rom a n sk y, who’s served 14 years with Busch, praised her colleag ue’s diplomacy and ability to listen to both sides of an issue. Her negotiating skills have been invaluable as Busch served most of her tenure on the district’s personnel committee. “She epitomized what a board member should be: works well

with other board members, works well with the superintendent and has respect for the staff and district and puts kids first,” Romansky said. “She understands the importance of academics and athletics, and she’s always had a great deal of respect for the arts. She’s championed them.” But after 19 years and thousands of votes, Busch says the most challenging issues have always centered on personnel. During her fi rst go-around as board chair in the late 1990s, she remembers a public outcry when the district chose not to renew three teacher contracts. Showing up at the board room, a sea of students and parents spoke out against the board decision. Busch always felt the incident violated the teachers’ privacy by having their personal issues dragged before the community. A similar incident happened a few years later with former football coach Randy Jones. “You have to balance the audience’s right to be heard with protecting the employee’s rights and privacy of the staff,” she said. “Those were the toughest issues.” Hands down, the 2010 high school thefts and departure of for mer S h a kop e e H i g h School Principal Jim Murphy is Busch’s saddest moment, though she doesn’t regret her role. Busch voted against dismissing Murphy and his settlement contract. While she never spoke against the board’s decision, she always thought it was wrong to lose a good principal. “That was the toughest outcome,” she said. “I wouldn’t say it was the hardest decision. I’d say I had all the information, and I voted what was right for me.” Busch has often served at the School Board’s stabilizer, a function that will be sorely missed, said board Chair Steve Schneider. “Her knowledge of district history and practices was very often sought out by other board members in order to derive a better understanding of how contentious issues should be resolved or brought to resolution,” said Schneider, another longtime board member. “Kathy was an absolute delight to work with on the School Board,” said former board member Jessica Case, who served with Busch through 2001. “She was very thoughtful, child centered, calm. Our
December 22, 2011 | Page 7 district was very fortunate to have her put in that amount of time.” Busch leaves with few regrets, though she does wish the board would have restructured its administrative team. The board has been talking about adding more district-level administrators for several years now, said Busch, who’s optimistic the new board will focus on this next year. She also regrets that the district’s teaching staff does not reflect the great diversity Busch has witnessed over the years — ethnically and economically. Shakopee today has a wide spectrum of students and expectations from parents, said Busch, who, as a real estate agent, often hears questions such as why the district does not offer orchestra or a second language in the elementary schools. The board has worked hard to maintain equity throughout its schools in terms of demographics, programming and facilities, Busch said. Over her tenure, the board has standardized elementary curriculum and daily scheduling. While parents lament the dist rict’s move away from neighborhood schools, Busch hopes the district’s efforts at being cost-effective and balanced prove that good education “is about the people, not about the building.” Busch is highly respected outside of the Shakopee community, too, for her work with the Minnesota School Boards Association and Association of Metropolitan School Districts, said McBroom. “She’s just done a lot of good work for the school district,” he said.

END OF AN ERA Enjoying her “retirement” from the School Board will me a n fewer me et i n gs a nd more time for tennis and bicycle riding, Busch said. She continues as a part-time real estate agent, but in late 2008 returned to Head Start, running its literacy program in Bu r nsvi l le, Chaska, P rior Lake and Shakopee. Despite her active involvement, Busch has never once felt the School Board took her away from her kids, who were 14, 11 and 4 at the time of her election. She laughs now, however, to think that her youngest son, Eric, who graduated college last spring, probably doesn’t remember her before serving on the School Board. Until now that is. On Dec. 12, Busch made the motion to close her final Shakopee School Board meeting. “ H av i n g sp ent so much time in this room, I think I will probably dream about the characters,” Busch said in her closing remarks, adding with a chuckle, “and by the characters, I mean the people in the murals.”

eral performance goals won’t be eligible for any raise. S c ot t C ou nt y i s u n ique among public employers for its merit pay system. It has contracts to negotiate with another six unions, the largest being the sheriff’s deputies.
MORE TAXES FOR SOME The county’s tax levy was f lat in 2010 and went up 1.6 percent this year, which was absorbed by new property in the county, noted County Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township. An increase of 0.9 percent was budgeted for 2012, with additional funding directed toward a reserve and capital account to cover unknowns in state funding and labor contracts, said Kevin Ellsworth, the county’s fi nance head. A projected state surplus now means the county likely won’t face an emergency unallotment or deeper aid cuts than anticipated, Ellsworth said. Wolf — who legally had to abstain from voting Tuesday because he was on sedatives following foot surgery — said he went to the county administrator a couple weeks ago because he was uncomfortable with a tax increase of 0.9 percent. Even with a f lat levy, 45 percent of residents will pay $60 or more extra next year to the county (although 20 percent less now fall into this category). Nearly half will have a tax increase less than $ 60. The county bill will shrink for approximately 6 percent. The state cut $1.3 million in program aid from the county that used to directly subsidize
the local property tax levy. In addition, the state eliminated the homestead property tax credit, but to soften the blow to lower-valued homes, pushed more of the tax burden onto businesses, farmers and higher-priced homes. Additionally, the state has an automatic inflator in its portion of the business property tax, explained Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton. At the Dec. 1 taxation hearing, the County Board heard from a Sand Creek Township farmer who expected a 38 percent tax increase and a New Market Township resident facing a 20 percent jump. “It’s the mechanism of the tax system that is shifting the burden of tax,” explained Ellsworth. “One bright spot,” said Ellsworth, is the county’s unemployment shrunk from 7 percent in January 2011 to 5 percent in October. It is trending closer to the 3 percent figure of before 2008, he said.
GOING INTO 2012 The county expects to fi nish out 2011 with a $50,000 budget surplus. Savings in some areas counterbalance $1.5 million for a loan and contributions toward the construction of a library in Jordan. “We reorganized some of our divisions, flattened the organization, moving five divisions into two,” Ellsworth said. “Our resource-sharing continues to grow. We’ve updated portions of our components of our management plan — that’s a huge part of moving our organization forward for performance management, for strategic budgeting.” As part of continued belttightening, 17 county positions will be eliminated in 2012 —
eight via layoffs, five through voluntary retirements and four from the elimination of vacant posts. In 2012, the county will look for ways to reduce technology purchases through a metrowide pool, Ellsworth said, and continue to explore a 911 dispatching merger with Carver County. The Sheriff’s Office has already put off some software purchases due to the possible merger. There’s also been talk of merging the two jails if the dispatchers can successfully be combined. But as the county organization gets slimmer, it may also look at adjusting the salaries for certain positions, such as top-level prosecutors and information technology specialists, due to competition in the marketplace for those skills, according to managers. The county also has hired a half-time economic development director and is ramping up efforts to further business growth through partnerships with the regional Itasca Project and other local governments through the Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency. On Tuesday, Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto — who sued the county for denying raises for him and top prosecutors — asked the county to conduct a market pay analysis for his staff, although he is not asking for a raise for himself. Earlier this year, a county judge ordered him a raise, but not one for his top staff. Scott County Sheriff Studnicka was also ordered a raise for this year, although he’s also not requesting one either for 2012. Shannon Fiecke

was a reasonable increase that would be fair for all employees and bring everyone closer to the average,” Wilson explained in an e -mail fol lowing the meeting. On Tuesday, the council approved two-year labor contracts with both police officers (its largest union with 37 members) and seven police sergeants. In addition to 2 percent raises in 2012 and 2013, the council raised stipends for officers on special assignment, such as investigators, school resource officers and the multi-housing officer. These bumps will range from $20 to $40 per month each year of the contract, depending on the position. Also, police will receive a full day of holiday on Christmas Eve (instead of a half-day), bringing their total holidays to 12.
December 22, 2011 | Page 9
The city will consider increasing holidays similarly for nonunion staff after settling with Public Works employees, Wilson said at Tuesday’s council meeting.
HISTORY The last two years, police received raises other employees did not because they challenged the city, arguing their pay lagged behind other police departments. An arbitrator awarded police a 1 percent raise for 2010, a year other city employees received none. The salary dispute was settled through mediation for 2011. Whereas other staff received 1 percent raises, police received a 1 percent increase in January and another 1 percent bump in July. While the city obtained twoyear labor agreements with police, it chose to only set salaries for 2012 for nonunion employees, who make up half
its labor force. The cost of providing a 2 percent wage increase to all full-time employees is approximately $180,000. This includes the impacts on pension obligations and taxes. Although only 1 percent was budgeted, the city is saving money on its health insurance by adopting a slightly modified insurance plan that shifts more costs onto employees. “The savings the city saw as a result of this health insurance change will allow us to fund a 2 percent wage increase for all full-time employees without exceeding the money budgeted for wages and benefits for the year,” Wilson explained. “Basically we’ll be spending a little less on health insurance and a little more on wages than we originally planned, but it washes out to the same total cost to the city.” For a chart showing revised city salaries, go to shakopeenews.com.
PUBLIC ACCESS CHANNEL As part of the consent agenda on Tuesday, the council voted to end video equipment checkout for Shakopee’s public access station, an estimated annual operations savings of $8,500. In addition to not providing cameras to residents for producing local TV programs, the city no longer will accept programs on mini-DV tapes. Shakopee Public Access will continue to accept local programs for playback on cable Channel 15, but productions must be submitted ready-to-air on DVD. Dec. 28 is the last day residents c a n check out video cameras. Equipment is due back Jan. 2. The editing suite at the Shakopee Community Center is available through Dec. 31. The video equipment will be either donated or sold through eBay. Shannon Fiecke

‘A SILENT NIGHT FOR PEEF’ Peef, the Christmas Bear, was created from scraps of material provided by Santa’s elves. After a wonderful beginning to his life at the North Pole, Santa asked Peef to become a special gift to a lonely child. Peef of course said yes. Now Santa visits Peef to see how things are going. What he finds is not what he expects: a torn, dirty toy that has lost his voice. What is Santa to do now?

REMEMBER WHEN Collected by Don McNeil, Shakopee Heritage Society
25 years ago… From the Shakopee Valley News, 1986 Tax bill will improve economy…by Sen. Rudy Boschwitz. The tax bill, which is expected to pass both houses of Congress and be signed by President Reagan this fall, is the great surprise of 1986 in Washington. The bill, which looked like a goner only four months ago, has whizzed through Congress in a whirlwind. It will change the nature of our tax system and I think it will improve tax fairness and strengthen our economy. A paperback reprint of a book describing in detail how Minnesota’s Dakota Indians lived 150 years ago recently was published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press. Written by missionary, Samuel W. Pond, one of the fi rst settlers
in Shakopee, “The Dakota or Sioux in Minnesota As They Were in 1834” is unrivaled today for its accurate and thorough discussion of Dakota culture and social, political, religious and economic institutions, writes historian Gary Clayton Anderson in his introduction to this book.
50 years ago… From the Shakopee Valley News, 1961 Underwood Portables – Lettera 22…$68 – This is the portable typewriter voted “best designed product” by 100 leading designers and used by millions throughout the world in the last 10 years. The Lettera 22 has basket shift, automatic tabulation, automatic paragraph indention, rugged all-metal body, half-spacing and comes in a handsome carrying case. Valley Sewing Center, corner of First Avenue and Lewis Street…Anyway you look at
it for the best buys in White Sewing Machines since 1876. Rental, repairs and rebuilt machines. Savage woman hurt as a car hits train…Mrs. Lloyd Larson was severely injured when the car she was driving alone struck Minnesota, Northfield & Southern Railroad switch engine at 6:26 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the Highway 10 crossing in Savage. The collision completely demolished the 1959 Chevrolet two-door which struck the side of the switch engine. PHOTO COURTESY ‘THE SHAKOPEE SCRAPBOOK’
75 years ago…
New St. Francis Hospital dedicated in August 1953.
From the Shakopee ArgusTribune, 1936 Shak-O-Hi News…Measure Yourself…A few pointers for the school year: 1) see things to be done and then do them; 2) use courteous phrases; 3) practice thrift; 4) finish things; 5) give a prompt response; 6) show originality; 7) express yourself freely; 8) listen atten-
tively; 9) talk and laugh gently; 10) be orderly; 11) clean teeth regularly; 12) respect property rights of others; 13) enunciate clearly; 14) speak correctly; 15) appreciate good music and literature…The fi fth and sixth grades are now using the Victrola during penmanship period and enjoy writing their drills to music.

trinkets. “You don’t have that here,” the 16-year-old said. Christmas in Sforza’s hometown of Milan is similar to the United States because of its shopping notoriety. One difference, however, is the celebration of Epiphany Eve (Jan. 5), when the old woman Befana delivers gifts to children throughout Italy. Christmas abroad is typically celebrated with the immediate family Dec. 24 with dinner and presents. “After Christmas you will go to your relatives in their cities,” Sforza said. “Here is different because all the relatives go to the biggest house, instead of separate Christmases.” Chanakan “Fern” Srigrapha is enjoying her first taste of Christmas. The exchange student from Thailand does not celebrate Christmas back home. “Christmas Day is like a normal day and everybody goes to school and study and work,” the 17-year-old said. She’s looking forward to her first Christmas gift exchange. Srigrapha’s family does celebrate three New Year’s — Jan. 1, Chinese New Year on Jan. 23 and Songkran (Thai New Year)
December 22, 2011 | Page 15
in April. Relatives gather for the countdown, sing songs and play games, she said. In Denmark, the queen addresses the country every New Year’s Eve, said Emma Kristensen. Her parents always host a New Year’s Eve party and she typically joins friends for the celebration. Lembke usually spends New Year’s Eve with family, staying up late to watch the popular “Dinner for One” sketch and shooting off fireworks at midnight. For the last three years, Sforza has gone with a friend to Brussels while Strahl and her family go skiing in Austria every year.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE Experiencing a new culture – and improving their English — is what brought all the exchange students to Shakopee. High school itself has been a big change for the students, who are used to different school structures back home. In Denmark, students don’t have the same classes every day and have more free time between classes and during lunch, Kristensen said. Srigrapha takes 18 subjects in her home school in Thailand. Another big difference is sports, said Strahl. At home, kids play on club teams, not through school, and practice is
just a few days a week. “Sports are so insane [in America] because you have it every day,” Sforza said. “When I first came here my host family talked about football and I thought football was soccer. I was like, ‘Yes I like football. Like Liverpool and Manchester,’” Srigrapha said. “My whole [host] family was like ‘what are you talking about?’” While everyone has been very welcoming and nice, making friends in Shakopee is more difficult here because one needs a car to get anywhere. All the students come from cities with good public transportation systems. “It’s so hard to convince your other friends to pick you up,” Sforza said. “If you ask your [host] parents and your parents are for sure busy with something, you stay at home all day and look at your hands and just wait.” Plus, teenage lives are much more structured in America with less free time to hang out with friends, the students said. School, sports, volunteering — it keeps teens busy from morning to night. The students say the key to being an exchange student in a new country is about embracing it. “You have to be open most of the time,” Sforza said.

Missota Conference standings
SHAKOPEE BOYS BASKETBALL
First win of the season Sabers upset No. 6-ranked team BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
It took three games but the Shakopee boys basketball team played two strong halves as it upset Waconia. The win against the No. 6-ranked team in Class 3A is a big turnaround from the team’s fi rst three games. The Sabers defeated Waconia 65-58 for their fi rst win of the season at home on Friday night. “This was our best game of the year,” head coach Bruce Kugath said. “We played two good halves and did a lot of good things.” I n t hei r pr ev iou s t h r e e games, Shakopee would play a solid fi rst half and be right in the game but when the second half rolled along; they would stumble and ended up losing all three by double digits. The game against Waconia followed the same script except this time the Sabers didn’t stumble in the second half. After taking a 32-26 lead into halftime, Shakopee played even with the Wildcats to earn the win. “This was a much needed win,” Kugath said. “Waconia
was ranked sixth but we were the better team tonight. Hopefully, this will give us some confidence as we move into the last week before Christmas break. Jake Maiers led the Sabers with 22 points on 8-of-19 shooting. John Burlager added 16 and Tyler Weiss 13 points. Weiss and Maiers combined to lead the team with six rebounds. Kugath said Brady Dole did a great job of getting the ball to their scorers and fi nished with five assists.
STARTING 0-3 The Sabers started the season 0-3 when they fell 47-37 to Rosemount on Dec. 13 at home. Shakopee only scored 10 fi rst-half points and trailed 1910 in the loss. In the second half, the Sabers trailed by as many as 15 points before going on a late run and cutting the Irish lead to six points. The Irish held off the late charge by the Sabers and won by 10. The Sabers hit only 16 of 42 shots on the night for 38 percent. Nolan Fischer led the Sabers with nine points and John Burlager added eight.

The Shakopee wrestling team is only three weeks into its season and has already reached 10 wins. The Sabers won four more times this past weekend to improve to 10-1 on the season. The Sabers rolled to two wins last Thursday against Minnetonka and Lakeville South. Then on Saturday they went 2-1 facing their toughest competition of the year at the DasselCokato Duals. “ T he te a m i s w rest l i n g pretty tough for this time of the year,” head coach Mark Neu said. “Many or our experienced wrestlers are doing their job, winning matches
www.scoreboard.mn
against good kids.” At the Dassel-Cokato Duals, the Sabers defeated Becker 3929 and Monticello 49-15 while losing to Foley 38-21. Against Becker, the meet came down to the final two matches of the night. Becker was leading 29-27 with the 220-pound and heavyweight matches left. At 220 pounds, Shakopee’s Alex Denis was tied with his Becker opponent going into the second period. Denis picked the down position to start the period and got a reversal and eventually the pin to give the Sabers a 33-29 lead.
Heavyweight Corey Anderson fi nished off the dual with a pin. “We are fortunate to have kids like Alex, who do not have a lot of varsity experience but have the confidence and skills to win important matches,” Neu said. Shakopee opened up the dual meet by beating Monticello, ranked eighth in Class 2A, 49-15. S h a kop e e fel l t o Foley, ranked second in Class 2A, 38-21. Anderson and Patrick Casey went 3-0 in the dual meet. Prior to that, Shakopee dominated a home triangular. It topped Minnetonka 60-12 and Lakeville South 56-19. Getting two wins on the night for the Sabers were Brad Born, Jack Edberg, Tanner Hennen, Casey, Michael Wagner, Sam Hall, Jacob Glynn, Denis and Anderson.
In their fi rst chance for a dual meet win, the Shakopee boys swim team got it. The Sabers opened their dua l meet season wit h a 98-88 victory over South St. Paul on Dec. 13 at the Shakopee Junior High School pool. “It was a per fect meet to start the season,” head coach Eric Hills said. “It was against an opponent that just beat us last year and the guys were really excited to try to beat them. It was also the first time we got to see so many of our young and promising swimmers. What an amazing set of rookies we have this season.” Shakopee won six events including the opening event, the 200 medley relay. T he meet sta r ted with S t even Ly, K a leb Ol s en , Ja mie Smit h a nd M a son Myers teaming up to swim a 1 minute, 52.68 seconds to edge South St. Paul’s team
by 0.11 seconds. The next event the Sabers won was the 50 free when Myers swam a 25.12 seconds. Diver Joe Edwards followed that up by winning the diving competition with a score of 178.75. The winning continued in the next event as sophomore Vandon Duong swam a 1:01.42 to win the 100 butterfly. Duong also finished second in the 200 individual medley. Smith and Myers fi nished 1-2 in the 100 freestyle. Smith got a school record with a time of 52.13 seconds. The fi nal win was turned in by Olsen, who won the breaststroke with a time of 1:12.17. Olson also finished third in the medley relay. Smith and Steven Ly fi nished second and third in the 100 backstroke. The Sabers followed that win up by falling to Richfield 95-88 last Thursday night in Richfield. Shakopee divers dominated the meet as they fi nished 1-2-3 with Edwards leading the way. The Sabers had a costly disqualification in the 500 free, which would’ve made the meet much closer.

KICKIN’ IT INTO GEAR
Hot goalie stymies Sabers against Farmington BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
A frustrating season got a little more frustrating for the Shakopee girls hockey team. The team lost two more times to drop to 2-9-1 on the season. The latest loss might have been the most frustrating as they fell 2-1 to Farmington on Friday night at Schmitz-Make Arena in Farmington. The difference in the game, according to head coach Matt Klein, was Farmington’s goalie. “They have a solid goaltender and she was the difference,” Klein said. “They call it the game of hockey but sometimes it should be called the game of goalie.” The Tigers goalie Jessica Erchul stopped 25 of 26 Shakopee shots to get the win. Shakopee’s goalie Amber Flood also played well as she stopped 22 of 24 shots. Farming ton opened the scoring with a first-period goal. The Sabers tied it up when Nicole Vogel scored a power-play goal in the second period on an assist from Amy Menke. Later in the second period, Farmington broke the tie. After that the goalies stole the show. Erchul stopped 20 shots in the second and third periods to give the Tigers the win. “It just wasn’t our night,” Klein said. If the Farmington game was the most frustrating of the season, Shakopee’s game against Hopkins on Dec. 13 might have been their most disappointing. T he Sab ers a nd Roya l s played in a shootout at the Shakopee Ice Arena with the Sabers coming out on the wrong end. Hopkins scored five-straight goals in the second and third periods and won going away 8-4. After a first period that

It added a goal early in the third to build a 8-3 lead. In that exciting fi rst period, Hopkins opened the scoring with a goal 16 seconds into the game and followed that up a minute later with another tally for a 2-0 lead just 1:21 into the game. The Sabers responded with goals from Lauren Hespenheide and Abbey Leffler. Leffler’s goal tied the game at 2-2 at 14:38 of the third. That did last long because 16 seconds later Hopkins scored again.
Menke tied the game with a short-handed goal just 20 seconds before the end of the period. After that it was all Hopkins as it built the lead to 9-4. Menke added another shorthanded goal late in the third period.

Fabie got the hat trick when he scored his third power-play goal of the game at 10:58 of the third. Shakopee answered quickly by cutting the lead to 5-4 just 11 seconds later. Shakopee goalie Andrew Lyon stopped 26 shots while Minnehaha’s Matt Hultman stopped 36. Prior to the Minnehaha loss, the Sabers fell 6-1 to St. Louis Park last Thursday at Shakopee Ice Arena. St. Louis Park built a 3-0 lead before Brett Vogel scored for the Sabers midway through the second. The Orioles put the game out of reach with three goals in the third.
The Shakopee boys hockey team lost its fourth-straight game in frustrating fashion on Saturday afternoon. The Sabers fired 40 shots on net but still lost 5-4 at Minnehaha Academy. Not only did they fire 40 shots on net but they were given eight power-play opportunities by Minnehaha Academy and only scored once. The special-teams play really was the difference in this game as Shakopee went 1-8
with the man advantage while Minnehaha went 3-8 on the power play. After falling behind 1-0 five minutes into the game, Shakopee answered with two goals in three minutes from Sheldon Miks and Karl Grutzmacher to build a 2-1 lead. Miks’ goal was the lone power-play tally for the Sabers. Minnehaha tied it up at 2-2 with 14 seconds left in the period with a power-play goal by Michael Fabie. Fabie scored another power-play goal midway through the second and added an evenstrength goal later for a 4-2 lead. Bubba Kubes cut the lead to 4-3 with an unassisted goal at 16:14 of the second.

pedal in the second half and on ly outscored Southwest 22-12. “It’s not about winning by 70 or 80 points but playing the right way,” Mitchell said. Hanna Zerr led 10 Shakopee scorers with 16 points. Her younger sister Haley Zerr added 13. That win came after the Sabers fell to Class 3A’s fourthranked team, Richfield, 65-53
last Thursday night in Richfield. The Sabers only trailed by two at halftime, 30-28, but were outscored by 10 in the second half to fall by 12. “We played well in spurts,” Mitchell said. “We had a two minutes span where we lost our composure.” That two minutes came right after halftime as the Spartans extended their two point lead to nine. “We came out and made a few mistakes and all of sudden we are done by nine,” Mitchell said. Shakopee got the lead down to five late in the game but couldn’t get any closer.

Respectfully submitted, LuAnne Lemke Louisville Township Clerk (Published in the Shakopee Valley News on Thursday, December 22, 2011; No. 5336) RESOLUTION #1007 A RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE SEASONAL DEMAND POLICY BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SHAKOPEE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION at meeting duly assembled on the 5th day of December, 2011, that Resolution #178 establishing the Seasonal Demand Policy for seasonal customers is hereby modified upon this resolution taking effect as follows: To arrive at charges to disconnect service to avoid monthly minimum demand charges: 1. Take the number of months service is to be disconnected. 2. Take the regular billing demand that would apply (which would be 60% of the highest billing demand during the preceding 11 months, or 15KW, whichever is greater). 3. Multiply number of months service will be disconnected times that regular billing demand, and that product times the regular demand charge. This amount will be divided in half, with the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission absorbing one said half. 4. The remaining said half to be paid by the customer, split equally between disconnecting order of service and reconnecting order of
service, and due and payable at time of those respective events. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that said policy is to become effective from and after December 5, 2011. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all things necessary to carry out the terms and purpose of this Resolution are hereby authorized and performed. Passed in regular session of the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission, this 5th day of December, 2011. Commission President: William P. Mars ATTEST: Commission Secretary: John R. Crooks (Published in the Shakopee Valley News on Thursday, December 22, 2011; No. 5338) OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA NOVEMBER 22, 2011 Mayor Schmitt called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with Council members, Matt Lehman, Steve Clay, Pat Heitzman, and Pamela Punt present, as well as Mayor Elect Brad Tabke and Councilor Elect Jay Whiting. Also present Mark McNeill, City Administrator; Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator; Julie Linnihan, Finance Director; Rick Coleman, Fire Chief and Judith S. Cox, City Clerk. Mayor Schmitt asked if there were any additions or deletions to the agenda. Mr. McNeill said there were no changes to the agenda. Punt/Heitzman moved to approve the agenda. Motion carried 5-0. Mark McNeill, City Administrator, presented council with the Fire Service Agreement Update. Lehman/Punt moved to direct staff to continue working on an agreement with Louisville and Jackson townships regarding fire service, the administrative function should be detailed so the numbers are not altered, change the language of the contracts to five years with an annual one year review, and bring back numbers regarding valuation based on market value, tax capacity, with land or without land, for each. Motion carried 5-0. Chief Coleman provided an update of the construction on the new Station 2, fire station on Vierling Dr. Ms. Wilson presented Council with the Wage Rates for Paid-on-Call Firefighters. Clay/Lehman moved to direct staff to proceed with the changes to the wage rates for paid-on-call firefighters as outlined by staff and bring back a resolution for council consideration. Motion carried 5-0. Chief Coleman presented Council with the Planning for Future Fire Service Needs. Chief Coleman discussed daytime fire response. The calls during the day have been increasing and the number of firefighters responding has been decreasing. Two issues that attribute to the problem is employers willing to let their employees respond to fire calls and the distance because many of them do not work in the city. Chief Coleman stated a possible solution to the problem is a Daytime Duty Crew. Chief Coleman provided two time lines for the third fire station with variations of adding new firefighters, a training chief, and construction and funding of a third station. A cost summary of opening a third fire station including debit service, additional personnel, operation & fleet costs is estimated at $680,000. Adding a Daytime Duty Crew could cost up to $350,000, annually. Mr. McNeill summarized that staff is asking council to look at adding daytime staff to increase the daytime response and to continue to consider the concept of a third fire station over time. Funding for a daytime duty crew is a 2013 budget discussion. Council discussed the information provided to them and agreed that further discussion is needed regarding the future needs of the Fire Department. Lehman/Clay moved to recess for a five minute break. Motion carried. Mayor Schmitt reconvened the meeting at 8:50 p.m. Ms. Linnihan presented Council with the Relief Association
Bylaws Update. Lehman/Clay offered Resolution No. 7140, A Resolution Approving the Bylaws of the Shakopee Fire Department Relief Association, and moved its adoption. Motion carried 5-0. Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator, presented Council with an Amendment to the Personnel Handbook for Paid-On-Call Firefighters. Punt/Clay offered Resolution No. 7137, a Resolution Amending Resolution No. 6807 Adopting a Personal Handbook for Paid-on-Call Firefighters of the City of Shakopee and moved its adoption. Motion carried 5-0. Punt/Heitzman moved to adjourn. Motion carried 5-0. The Council meeting ended at 9:16 p.m. Judith S.
