8 Date: July 9, 2018 To: From: Workshop: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Jeffrey Dahl, City Manager Discuss Police Services Contract with Long Lake Update Based on communications from officials from both Wayzata and Long Lake, we agree that now is a good time to review and reassess the current contract and propose any needed amendments and extension of contract term. Background The City has been provided police services with the City of Long Lake since The services are provided through a contract, with the latest one updated in 2016 (See attached). The latest update provides for police services up until December 31, less than 2.5 years out. Staff strongly believes that it is in the best interest of the City to discuss extending the contract primarily for budget and personnel planning purposes. At this meeting, staff will provide an update in terms of how the relationship is working and its recommendations on a potential extension. Attachments 1.

13 Date: July 12, 2018 To: From: Workshop: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Jeffrey Dahl, City Manager Update of Lake Minnetonka Trolley Update Members of the operating board of the Lake Minnetonka Trolley will be in attendance to provide feedback and answer any questions. The goal of this workshop item is to: 1. Receive more general information about the Lake Minnetonka Trolley (Who runs it? Who funds it? What are the routes? What are the schedules? etc.) and get an update on how the trolley is going last year and so far this year; and 2. Discuss of the future of the trolley and additional opportunities. Background The City has been the largest funding partner of the Lake Minnetonka Trolley which has been operating for approximately 5 years with the objective of serving as a small town attraction that moves people efficiently around town. The City budgets $10,000 annually for trolley related expenses and allows advertising of trolley marketing material in its utility bills/wayzata Weekly. Having a trolley or vehicle providing local connections and/or dial-a-ride services has been mentioned in the 2040 Visioning Process and is consistent with what other communities provide.
