Council should discuss 2020 legislative policies with our local legislative delegation and
advocate for those issues deemed most important to our community. T hose invited to attend
are State Senator Greg C lausen, State Representative Robert Bierman and State
Representative J ohn Huot.
T he 2020 legislative session is scheduled to begin on February 11, 2020, and will end no
later than May 18, 2020. As the Council is aware, the C ity of Apple Valley is a member of
three separate organizations that work to advance legislative topics of interest to cities.
T hese include the League of Minnesota C ities, Metro C ities, and the Municipal Legislative
Commission.
At our December 12, 2019, informal meeting, full copies of the legislative policies from each
organization were distributed. Given the length of the policy documents, they are not being
copied again with this packet. If you wish, please bring them with you to the meeting. If you
need another copy, please let me know.
At our last informal meeting, we focused on eight key Legislative Policy Priorities for
2020 and also renewed our support for six Core Legislative Principles which we have
maintained for many years. A copy of a document summarizing these policies and principles
is attached. At our J anuary 9 informal meeting, the intent would be to present this
information to our legislative delegation and discuss with them how best to proceed leading
up to and during the 2020 session.
B AC K G RO UND:
T hroughout the summer, the three identified groups convened multiple policy review
committees to consider policies for the upcoming session. As reviewed at our December 12
meeting, these documents include:
1) League of Minnesota Cities 2020 Legislative Policies (Adopted November 17, 2019)
2) Metro Cities 2020 Legislative Policies (Adopted November 14, 2019)
3) Municipal Legislative C ommission 2020 Legislative Policies (A dopted on December 4,
2019)
Copies of these policies, along with this memo and attachments, are being provided to our
legislative delegation in advance of our J anuary 9 discussion.
Legislators are invited to attend the Municipal Legislative C ommission (MLC) annual
Legislative Breakfast Meeting on Friday, February 7, at the Eagan C ommunity C enter from
7:30 to 9:30 a.m. MLC will be directly inviting our legislators to attend this event, but we
should personally invite them as well when we meet on J anuary 9.
Additionally, the League of Minnesota C ities will hold its 2020 Legislative C onference for
Cities in St. Paul on March 18-19, 2020. Please let me or Stephanie Marschall know if you
would like to attend.

Policy
Presentation
Budget Levy Limits and Local Control
Oppose state limitations on local property tax levies. Support allowing local elected officials to
make the best decisions to meet the needs of our local residents.
Long-Term Transportation Funding
Finish the Red Line. Support the construction of the missing northbound third lane on Cedar
Avenue, the expansion of the Apple Valley Transit Station and pedestrian safety improvements
on Cedar Avenue including the installation of a pedestrian skyway at the 147th Street Station.
Support stable and sufficient transportation funding for state and local roads and support the
Transportation Economic Development (TED) Program that provides competitive grants for
construction projects on state highways that provide measurable economic benefits. Support a
balanced transportation package for roads, bridges and transit, including investments in
suburban areas.
Development Fees
Support legislation that gives cities local control and the ability to impose infrastructure and
permit fees sufficient to ensure that development standards are fully met and the cost of new
development is not shifted onto existing taxpayers.
Sales Tax Exemption on Construction Materials
Support legislation to streamline the process required for cities to secure the sales tax exemption
on construction materials.
Election Process Improvement by Expanding Early Voting and Protecting Privacy
Support expansion of the time period for early voting. As shown in this last election, the
opportunity to vote early is very popular. Early voting is less costly to administer in comparison
to absentee voting. Currently State law limits early voting to only one week prior to the election
and this should be extended to two weeks or longer. Since early voting is much more
convenient, the timeline for in-person absentee voting should be reduced. Support revision to
state law related to the Presidential Primary to better ensure privacy of voter information.
Alcohol Distribution and Control
Oppose legislation that would expand the sale of alcohol in grocery stores and other retail
establishments. Such expansion would increase the likelihood of drunk driving and underage
alcohol sales and consumption and would also have a detrimental economic impact on current
off-sale retailers, including the City of Apple Valley.
Modernize Data Practices Act
Support changes to the Minnesota Data Practices Act to reflect today’s data intensive
environment, protect municipalities from abusive or harassing requests and to compensate
municipalities for overly broad and burdensome requests.
Emerald Ash Borer Grant Assistance
Support continued funding for community forestry in preparation/response to the Emerald ash
borer (EAB) insect infestation.
City of Apple Valley
Legislative Policy Priorities for 2020
City of Apple Valley
Core Legislative Principles
January 2020
Local Control
Local Mayors and City Councilmembers are duly elected by their citizens and are in the best
position to make decisions on behalf of their community. They are accountable for their
decisions. State legislative decisions should reflect this understanding and local officials should
be allowed to do the jobs they have been elected to do.
Unfunded Mandates
The imposition of state mandates and programs on local governments without the provision of
state funding is contrary to the concept of local control. Excessive reporting requirements
should be identified and eliminated. Any function or activity mandated by the State upon local
governments should be fully and continuously funded by the State.
Spending and Tax Lids
The imposition of taxing or spending limits on local governments is contrary to the spirit and
effectiveness of our system of representative government. Local tax and spending policy
decisions should be made locally. Blanket limitations imposed statewide will have unintended
consequences and will affect the ability to deliver essential public services.
Preserve Local Government Revenues
The legislature should not withhold or seek to otherwise divert local funds into the State General
Fund. Local policy makers must have the ability to generate and save sufficient revenues to
cover the cost of day-to-day service delivery, as well as future capital costs.
Job Creation and Promotion of Economic Growth
The economic success of our state is tied directly to the economic success of our cities. Building
strong cities takes a long-range coordinated effort that allows local leaders to make local
economic development decisions based their communities’ vision for the future. The legislature
should seek to maximize the number and type of economic development tools available to
cities.
Collaboration and Cooperation
Local government jurisdictions within Dakota County have a long history of collaborating on
ways to effectively and efficiently deliver necessary public services. The legislature should
promote best management practices and provide incentives to further joint and collaborative
practices around the state.

Development Fees
League of Minnesota Cities believes the Builders Association of
the Twin Cities (BATC) is attempting to bullying cities to increase
builders’ profits. Being touted as a housing affordability issue-
not true.
Cities won’t sacrifice home safety and longevity so builders can
make more money.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to cities’ building
development fees.
Property taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize builders’ bills.
Real Life Example:
Home Built in 2018 in
the Quarry Ponds 4th
Addition
From bare ground to
a new $413,000
house in a new
neighborhood.

B AC K G RO UND:
Highway 42 Visioning Study – Starting Soon
T he C ounty Highway 42 Visioning Study is a long-term 15-mile C orridor Study, from the
County’s west border in Burnsville, through Apple Valley, to US Highway 52 in Rosemount
(15 miles). Highway 42 is a principal arterial in the region’s highway system managed to
balance efficient travel with limited access. T he Study will update a similar plan completed
in 1999 to incorporate changes to the corridor since that time, and to consider current traffic
and land uses based on 2040 C omprehensive Plans. T he work will provide a framework to
guide future improvements along the corridor. Dakota C ounty is the lead agency for the
Study, with participation from the C ities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, and Rosemount. T he
Highway 42 Study is ready to begin at the end of J anuary 2020 and will take up to 18 months
to complete.
Diamond P ath/140th Roundabout F easibility Study – P ublic Meeting F ebruary 6
Near the end of 2019, Dakota C ounty began working with the cities of Apple Valley and
Rosemount to address traffic and safety issues at the intersection of C ounty Road 33
(Diamond Path) and 140th Street/C onnemara Trail. Based on the traffic volumes and turns
observed, the C ounty is considering the reconstruction of the intersection into a roundabout.
T he current feasibility study will look closely at problems with maintaining the four-way stop
and future design alternatives. T his work will also consider the possible restriping of 140th
Street from Pilot Knob Road to Diamond Path and the potential for multi-use trails extending
north of the intersection. T he team has scheduled a public open house meeting for T hursday,
February 6, 4:30–6:30 p.m. at the Rosemount C ommunity C enter. T he timeline for future
work anticipates final engineering design in 2021 and construction in 2022.

Adopt resolution designating U.S. Bank Institutional Trust as Safekeeping Custodian,
subject to the approval of the C ity Administrator and City Attorney.
S UM M ARY:
In November 2018, the C ity Council appointed U.S. Bank Institutional Trust as Safekeeping
Custodian for the City's investments in response to a RF P process. U.S. Bank Institutional
Trust had the lowest cost proposal at $7,500 per year, which is their minimum fee for the
year.
B AC K G RO UND:
T he safety of public funds is the primary objective of all governments. One of the protections
and a control against fraud is the separation of the safekeeping and custody function from the
investment function. By having securities held by a third party we can minimize custodial risk
in an investment transaction, by having the selected firm provide for the transfer and
safekeeping of the securities.
T he custody safekeeping arrangement has U.S. Bank Institutional Trust as the custodian hold
the investments in the C ity of Apple Valley's name and they do not participate in the
investment activity or provide investment advice, which maintains the third party safekeeping
independence and helping minimize risk.
T he safekeeping custody firm will:
hold and safeguard the investments
collect interest and dividends
settle trades and maturities as directed
provide monthly reporting with independent 3rd party valuations
Any cash balances in this account would be placed in a short term money market fund
consisting of government securities. By utilizing a safekeeping custodian in the city's name,
the footnote disclosure rating assigned under Government Accounting Standards Board
(G A SB) Statement No. 40 in our annual financial statements will be reported in the top
category defined as securities held by the government's agent in the governments name.

AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D:
Approve 2020 fees for Valleywood Golf Course as presented and grant Parks and Recreation
Director or designee the latitude to adjust the fees for promotions.
S UM M ARY:
Attached is the proposed 2020 fee schedule for Valleywood Golf C ourse. Staff is proposing
a few minor increases to the daily fee schedule as well as modifications to the season pass
fees, which include the addition of a 7 day restricted season pass.
In terms of daily green fees, they are recommended to increase by $1 per round for both 18-
hole and 9-hole rounds.
Staff is recommending the creation of a new restricted 7 day season pass which includes a
restriction that it cannot be used prior to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. If the restricted
7 day season pass holder chooses to play on weekends prior to 11:00 a.m., they may receive
the weekday green fee rate, which is a discount from the normal weekend rate. T he intent of
this restricted 7 day pass is to free up prime tee times on the weekend while also providing
the ability for unlimited play at all other times. T he proposed fee schedule retains the
unrestricted 7 day pass that permits weekend morning play without a separate green fee, but
the pass is now more expensive to purchase, again to maximize revenues during this prime tee
time block. Depending on a player’s circumstance (resident, non-resident, patron card holder
or non-patron card holder) the less expensive restricted season pass would actually save the
player money, unless they chose to play on weekend mornings before 11:00 a.m. more than
approximately 20 times during the season.
As in previous years, we request that the C ity Council provide that the Parks and Recreation
Director or designee continue to be allowed latitude to adjust golf course fees for
promotional rates as needed to be market competitive and enhance revenue.
B AC K G RO UND:
T he Valleywood Business Plan Task Force has been meeting since August 2019 to update
the business plan and recommend steps that can be taken to improve the financial
performance of our golf operations. T he $1 green fee increase and the addition of a restricted
7 day season pass are seen as important steps in this process.
Members of the Task Force include: C ouncilmembers Bergman and Hooppaw, Parks and
Recreation Advisory C ommittee Chair Brent Schultz, Former Parks and Recreation Advisory
Committee Chair Lee Strom, C ity Administrator Tom Lawell, Finance Director Ron
Hedberg, Parks and Recreation Director Barry Bernstein, and Golf Course Manager J im
Zinck.
While the final report of the Task Force will not be finalized until spring 2020, the Task
Force has reviewed the proposed 2020 Valleywood fee schedule and recommends its
adoption. In addition, the Parks and Recreation Advisory C ommittee reviewed the proposed
2020 Valleywood Fee Schedule at their J anuary 2, 2020 meeting and also recommends its
approval.
B UD G E T I M PAC T:
While the amounts of financial impact are uncertain, these changes are expected to have a
positive impact to revenues from $30,000 to $60,000 over the course of the 2020 season.

Convention and Visitors Bureau (C VB) through December 31, 2020.
2. Approve 2020 Convention and Visitors Bureau (C VB) budget and marketing plan.
S UM M ARY:
T he C ity has been using a series of one-year agreements with the C hamber for administration
of the C VB. T here are no substantive changes to the terms of the agreement. As part of the
agreement, the C ity also approves the annual operating budget for the C VB. Included with
this document are the proposed budget and the marketing plan that explains the rationale for
the budget proposal.
B AC K G RO UND:
T he annual C VB budget has two primary revenue sources--the annual anticipated lodging tax
proceeds and carry-over or fund balance built up from previous years. T he lodging tax
proceeds are variable with the economy and it is common to have some good years and other
less good years for revenues.
In previous discussions with the C ity Council, the topic of keeping business listings on the
C VB website up-to-date was discussed. Since the C ity does not license businesses, there is
no local database with this information. In response, the C VB continues its investment in a
digital strategy that uses data from Google to help identify when new businesses are opening
in Apple Valley and when businesses are shutting down. T his cutting-edge technology should
help keep the site information more current.
T he 2020 budget projects total expenditures of $108,976.25. T he annual administration
expenses is at $19,000. T he remaining funds are for direct marketing activities. T he
attached marketing plan prepared by Chamber President Ed Kearney explains in more detail
why certain ad campaigns were postponed and the rationale for the proposed 2020
campaigns.

2020 Marketing Plan
Preface: The Annual Marketing Plan document is intended as a guideline for tourism promotional
efforts during each calendar year. This document has a budget attached for 2020. The CVB Board is part
of the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce and follows the Chamber’s bylaws and procedures with
oversight by the Chamber Board of Directors. The City and Chamber both appoint representatives to
the CVB Board to keep balanced input from hotels, restaurants, attractions and other stakeholders.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. New Technologies—In line with the trend to transition towards less print advertising
a. Enhanced Drone Footage—Sky view above each hotel with labels on screen of
what they are seeing i.e. restaurants walkable, attractions (ZOO, MOA, Sports
Fields, Shopping etc.). Basically to show them “the walk” from where they are.
b. Artificial Intelligence (AI)—Expanding the successful AI we introduced last year.
Any visitor can contact us for a live text conversation 24/7 with full answers.
c. Virtual Concierge—Movable 360 degree view walking through meeting space,
attractions (Zoo), restaurants, banquets,
2. Expand Current Programs
a. Affinity Program for Social Media—A contest of sorts, for free vacation.
b. Things To Do—We’ve created a Google gathered list of every happening in
Apple Valley in real time. We’ve made it update itself all the time.
3. CVB PAID FOR TRANSIT BUS 50TH CELEBRATION 2019
a. We are looking at ways to continue the celebration for the CVB as well as the
Chamber to do a joint 50th Anniversary Promotion for visitors in 2021 since
both began. It will continue the momentum from the City’s 50th just ending.
4. NEW TOURISM BROCHURE—Distributed in over 600 outlets in 3 states, we are
reprinting but after a new design is finished which better features MN Zoo headline.
JUST ENDING IN 2019
CVB ASSISTED CITY PROMOTION OF 50TH ANNIVERSARY on TRANSIT BUSES
It has been well documented that hotel guests at both Apple Valley Hotels are nearly 50% due
to referrals from area residents. Also with 1.3 million visitors to Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley
and 40 million to Mall of America where the BRT Transit Line stops dozens of times per day, we
joined the City in promoting Apple Valleys 50th by covering 2 months of a wrapped BRT Bus.
The total contribution of the CVB to this was to increase visibility and tourism promotion by
investing $6,000 which will cover 2 months. None of the dollars will be used to pay for the
actual physical wrapping of the bus (another company donated that). Our dollars were used for
visitor marketing promotion only.
HOTEL RENOVATION
AmericInn Hotel in Apple Valley will complete their renovation within weeks as it has been a six
month process. It caused some temporary dip in occupancy and bed tax revenue but in early
December they showed us photos of the renovation and it looks spectacular. The new owners
these last few years have really put money, time and reinvestment into this prime location.
The following made our CVB Board very excited about trying new technologies. The plan is to
keep much of our marketing with print but phase much of the print out in 2 years as we
perfect the new technologies.
DRONE FOOTAGE
Last year, we hired a company to take drone footage of MN Zoo’s 1st JACK-O-LANTERN
SPECTACULAR. The event sold out and was so large with over 5,000 illuminated pumpkins,
they brought it back again this fall. We are adding drone footage in 2020 to:
o Footage from our hotels doorsteps up a few hundred feet and show guests what
is nearby each hotel including transit to MOA & Airport, the Twin Cities
downtowns and other attractions.
o More MN Zoo footage as they hope to get funding for their Treetop Trail in place
of the former Monorail tracks.
VIRTUAL-TOUR FOOTAGE
o We intend to hire Ellickson Photo to take 360 degree panoramic views inside our
hotels, their rooms, pools, exercise, meeting rooms etc. We will take virtual
footage of destination restaurant, campgrounds, parks, transit, bike trails etc.
The CVB Board has approved the new drone and virtual concierge approach.
CVB WILL ADD AN AFFINITY PROGRAM CONTEST
Affinity programs create a loyalty list for social networking, emails, social media likes etc. The
contest includes:
• Hotel weekend in Apple Valley
• Meals at Apple Valley restaurants
• Admission to attractions (zoo, coupon book MOA, Valleyfair, Science Museum.)
CVB 1st in MINNESOTA TO USE AI (Artificial Intelligence) FOR 24 HOUR TOURISM
We introduced this advanced technology in 2019 and we are taking it further in 2020. The
numbers look strong as this AI gives us a 24/7 presence to answer questions and line up
reservations at hotels, restaurants, attractions.
• AI is now allowing potential Apple Valley Visitors to speak with us 24/7/365.
o On our unique www.VisitAppleValley.com site, we have doubled the access
points for reaching the AI which is really just directing visitors to the right place
quickly. Click either with the popup chat box on the bottom right of the home
page or via “Quick Search” via a red box on the top of the page or “USE OUR
QUICK SEARCH TOOL” red box at the bottom of the page. Anyone can have a
conversation in real time, anytime. It will allow you to plan and choose hotels,
restaurants, attractions, shopping and events and help you decide and/or build
an itinerary.
o We intend to help the Arts Foundation better promote the 2020 summer concert
series in any way we can with our new technologies. Other possible applications
include Freedom Days, booking golf tee times or wherever AI would be useful for
tourism information. We would be happy to share the code we developed with
the City for any application they may want to adapt it to in the future.
o CVB CREATED INTERACTIVE PHONE/TABLET MAP OF APPLE VALLEY
o We have created a map which allows visitors (or events) to click on our map and
see all visitor items for hotels, dining (eat, coffee shops etc.), shopping or they
can check just one box and only those show up on the map. Hotels for reference
automatically appears on ALL maps. We have created unique code that
everytime Google updates their map, our map automatically will add that new
restaurant, shop, hotel or whatever we wish. ALL restaurants will appear in real
time when they list on Google which was a problem in the past keeping up with.
• “WHAT’S HAPPENING IN APPLE VALLEY” AGGREGATED LIST ON CVB SITE
As visitors or residents are “wondering what to do today or this weekend,” we created
code which pulls any event on Google with “things to do this week/month” in Apple
Valley. It is quite an exhaustive list and the best source of tourism events.
• SOCIAL MEDIA GETTING A BOOST FOR TOURISM
o Adam Bengston will be daily updating our social media once again. He will post
any news, events, exciting events or happenings to reach visitors through
FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, SNAPCHAT & TWITTER and any other apps that will
reach visitors
• Chamber President Ed Kearney and Adam Bengston have spent every Monday
morning developing this AI, Interactive Mapping virtual concierge, drone footage and
we are currently working on using AI to create exact printable itineraries for visitors,
groups, events etc. Adam was formerly President of Bloomington Chamber for 5
years.
NEEDING EMPHASIS IN 2020
Abdallah Candies has a solid two years being headquartered in Apple Valley now. We are
reaching out even further to them to assist them in better promoting their manufacturing retail
store which has visitors, groups, buses and sports groups visiting and we want more of them.
We are about to sit with the owners to see how we can better market them and increase their
visibility.
o Currently, we have included photos and text of Abdallah Candies on our Official Apple
Valley Tourism Brochure Cover next to the Minnesota Zoo, as well as a section in the
inside with more photos. We have them in all ads in three states.
o We are thinking about assisting Abdallah:
o Assisting them in reaching the MN Zoo’s 1.3 million visitors
o Creating better awareness to Sports Groups visiting our high school tournaments
o Improving signage for both awareness as well as direction to their attraction
o Assisting with filling jobs in this tight labor market
EXPLORE MINNESOTA WEBSITE PUTS OTHER CITIES HOTELS FIRST
As recently as December 2019, we tried to search for Apple Valley hotels on Explore MN. They
were unable to have hotels in Apple Valley appear first when you asked for Apple Valley
specifically but instead sent people to Bloomington, Chanhassen, Shakopee and Eagan.
Explore Minnesota, the State’s Tourism Office which for years we partnered with, is not whom
we choose to partner with for several years now. To be part of their tourism committee, we
used to spend about $12,000 per year to belong plus co-op advertising costs yet Apple Valley
was still almost invisible. We feel we can get more tourism promotion from doing it all
ourselves where we can highlight Apple Valley alone. Much of the savings has for many years
now help build up our reserves at the CVB. We will keep the reserves at the current level into
the future but the CVB is well positioned now for any future tourism interuptions, recessions,
unforeseen news crisis or future unforeseen opportunities as technology changes quickly.
The AVCVB Board met in November 2019 and December 2019 and was thrilled with this new
online proactive approach to tourism. A stat was given at the board meeting that over one-half
of all inquiries in any form be it website, social media, text or email is now done on phones
rather than computers
MICRO-SITES—Apple Valley often is host to major events such as Special Olympics these last
two years, various sports youth and high school sporting/dance/music events. In 2020, we will
build upon request and at no charge to the various event planners, a MICRO-SITE specifically for
that event’s specific needs with all of the needed links, welcome packages, options, calendar of
events etc. Examples might be the WINTER & SUMMER CONCERT SERIES (KELLEY PARK & MN
ZOO), SPORTING TOURNAMENTS in soccer, wrestling, golf, baseball, basketball, cheerleading,
bowling, hockey, Special Olympics, senior games, cycling, lacrosse, etc. and working closer with
both high schools and the School of Environmental Studies.
• SNAPCHAT FILTERS—As Snapchat becomes the cultural rage, we want to offer the over
1.3 million visitors to Apple Valley annually, the option of filters they can add to their
photos that have local graphics they lay over their photos that have icons, pre-written
Apple Valley and MN Zoo Graphics so that when they post their photos, their “friends”
see Apple Valley, zoo animals, apples, calligraphy, or fun masks, makeup or even animal
ears and features to their own faces automatically as an option over their personal
photos to post to the world. We looked on Snapchat and found little in Apple Valley for
filters, though Municipal Center was one of them.
• SOCIAL MEDIA—Adam Bengston has helped us keep our social media current weekly
and has brought us thousands of views. We are enhancing it further with “real-time”
Facebook feeds from events, more control via staff and volunteers for messaging and
being sensitive to the City’s concerns we keep a careful delicate balance between what
is local and what is regional.
Recent Developments
• We are working closer with John Frawley, MN Zoo Director in order to make more of
their 1.3 million visitors more aware of our hotels, restaurants, shopping, events and
activities. Minnesota Zoo is looking at converting the former IMAX property which the
Zoo owns into a CLIMBING WALL as well as other interactive adventures. In October of
2019, Mayor Mary and Ed Kearney hosted the MN House Capital Investment Committee
on a bus tour that ended with Zoo Director John Frawley. He personally gave us and
everyone on the committee a tour of the zoo. We spoke about finding better ways to
market together.
o MN Zoo hosted over 85,000 people who visited their “Jack-O-Lantern
Spectacular Exhibit. Apple Valley CVB met with them two years ago in Spring
and we brought them the idea of using a drone to hover as well as follow the
entire path the night before opening when no one was around in order to use
our footage in their promotions. We also paid 100% of the cost which they are
grateful for and it enhanced our partnership. For over 10 years, we also joined
MN Zoo at the Capitol to help them visit and appeal to legislators every month to
great success, as the Zoo is a state agency but receives less than 20% of their
funds from the State.
• GRANDSTAY MANAGEMENT CHANGE-- GrandStay Hotel had lost longtime GM Tony
Lawler to a larger hotel consortium. The new management company and Michael
Paggen their new GM are again working closely with the CVB and on our CVB Board.
• AMERICINN NEW OWNERS—The great young owners of this longtime central Apple
Valley hotel told us they want to become more engaged. We have visited them monthly
for several years, but they are planning to join our board and offer ideas on how to
better reach potential visitors.
Budget Highlights:
o The 3% Lodging Tax (as prescribed for cities by state law), has seen a steady
revenue stream for hotel and tourism promotion in Apple Valley. We have
greatly lowered the ratio of print media to online ads, social media, website
redesign, Artificial Intelligence and mobile ease of use via “responsive websites”
which adapts to any size phone, watch or tablet.
o We enjoyed great efficiencies and advice from our Webmaster Adam Bengtson
who, himself, for many years was President of Bloomington Chamber of
Commerce as well as with the Dakota County Regional Chamber. Adam and
Chamber President Ed Kearney are finding newer ways to reach a more targeted
audience who make more immediate decisions faster online and with shorter
notice.
As we stated in our 2016 & 2017 & 2018 Marketing Plans, the CVB has
continued to spend less during these and a few previous years in order to
build reserves to their healthy level for Apple Valley’s CVB to use for any
future tourism slumps which are inevitable.
We have built reserves not by doing less but rather mostly by
transitioning from “print” to “online” advertising and social media and
saved the revenue for future enhancements and promotions during
downturns, recessions, tourism slumps or market changes. The second
reason as stated earlier is us choosing not to be part of the Explore
Minnesota partnership because they cannot show Apple Valley on their
hotel searches even when we ask for Apple Valley.
CVB City Monument Operating
Year Escrow Act. Reserves
2011 $ 5,000 $65,730
2012 $15,000 $71,421
2013 $15,000 $81,414
2014 $15,000 $105,332
2015 $15,000 $155,617
2016 $15,000 $181,108
2017 $20,000 $181,682
2018 $20,000 $200,513
2019 $40,000 $199,005
*We intend to keep the reserves at this level into the foreseeable future
In 2019 we reached our high point for safe reserves in case of an emergency, disaster or
recession. We will not add to our reserves in 2020 and actually started to spend down some of
the reserves beginning with helping the City promote our 50th Anniversary as a City.
o There are reasons to keep a strong tourism reserve:
If such tourism shocks happen, be it terrorism with Mall of America,
spiking gas prices, public health scares (SARS)(Zika)(terrorism)(airline
accidents/strikes) etc.
If another severe recession hits this next year or two, we are prepared.
The “Zika Mosquito” virus two years ago was sweeping through the
southern hemisphere and this past summer it was spreading in Florida.
Minnesota is known as a mosquito destination to most visitors. With our
airport so nearby and a few pair end up in Minnesota and spread via
Delta, we want to be prepared to do massive promotions at a time when
the hotels most need to be promoted. Our Minnesota Zoo and our
Lebanon Hills campgrounds would suffer the largest hit from the
perception or reality of Zika. The MN Zoo with all its woods, ponds and
animals would suffer irreparably if this mosquito virus moves in here.
The new technology of Artificial Intelligence came along and Apple Valley
is ahead of ALL our competitors for visitors access 24/7/365.
o Three years ago with great effort and creativity, the Chamber built the CVB its
own website VisitAppleValley.com which for the first time, separated the CVB
from the Chamber website. We have now partially integrated the two closer
back and better link the two sites in order to maximize cross traffic on both sites.
The CVB site has an emotional appeal and received great accolades and traffic.
o We have saved a contingency fund of $40,000 to assist the city in building a
Visitor Monument on Cedar & I-35E. We hope the City Attorney soon finds us a
favorable interpretation of the state tourism lodging-tax law for us to use as so
many other cities use for advertising marketing via signage. We are allowed by
law to have billboards which we have done in the past on 35 and 52 as well as
electronic signage. We want however the City to build a Monument welcoming
visitors to “Apple Valley, Home of the Minnesota Zoo.” We want it added on
the City’s long overdue monument to state at our expense, “Hotels, Restaurants
& Shopping 1 Mile Ahead.” With more of the 1.3 million MN Zoo visitors
knowing where our downtown area is located for meals, shopping and lodging,
tourism will dramatically increase our economic base.
Both hotels underwent both interior and exterior reconstruction (Grandstay in 2018 and
AmericInn 2019), new beds, tv’s, dining areas. We are so happy that our hotels have
reinvested into Apple Valley and tourism will only increase over time with their new
investments.
MN Zoo has John Frawley as the new MN Zoo Director. He now has four years under his
belt and a new vision for the zoo. Chamber President Ed Kearney had an idea which the
new Zoo Director loved so Ed was invited to have a catered tablecloth lunch in the
Director’s office. Ed invited two YMCA Directors to join him at the luncheon as it
concerns the untapped land-use at the zoo’s vast acreage of land. Ed’s ideas were
discussed at length with the Director and the Assistant Director for nearly 2 hours.
Without sharing the details here for future growth, we will continue meeting to discuss
feasibility. We are now better positioned as a CVB to become closer partners with the
Zoo than we ever have been.
Valleywood’s event center is already helping us attract weddings, meetings, small
conferences, training seminars and sports celebrations, something we used to lose to
other surrounding cities. Our CHAMBER IS HOSTING OUR 2020 MAY GALA AT
VALLEYWOOD as a good gesture to all the City and Valleywood as well as Food &
Beverage caterer Roasted Pear have all done to keep our Chamber Golf Tournament the
premier event that it is.
We still need a place however for very large weddings in the future such as the 300-350
range. Clearly a city owned event center doesn’t compete with privately owned centers
as there is still great demand. If Valleywood Clubhouse were to ever double in size as
far as one large dividable banquet room, large weddings and corporate, sports and non-
profit groups booking Valleywood Clubhouse annually. With all of the churches and
weddings in Apple Valley, this is an opportunity cost going to other cities.
CTM Brochure distributes our Apple Valley Tourism brochure at over 600 racks from Des
Moines to Duluth and Wisconsin. This is our third year with added brochure distribution
points in Wisconsin in Eau Claire and Rochester down to La Crosse, Wisconsin. We are
currently looking at new designs for the Visitor Brochure for Apple Valley also which
features the addition of Abdallah Candies and their gift shop on the cover underneath
Minnesota Zoo.
The CVB continues to invest money into many of the local sporting events at the High
Schools, bowling alleys and park and recreation fields and facilities. Most of the money
is for “Welcome to Apple Valley” ads in the event programs with visitor website
information. Hockey, bowling & soccer are the most popular events and we always put
“Welcome to Apple Valley” ads in each. We also assisted both years financially and with
planning with the Minnesota Special Olympics which were held at Eastview.
Since we moved our new Home & Garden Expo site-host to Eastview High School, we
have over 6,000 visitors eat and shop in Apple Valley. In return, we think we can better
integrate students into the Expo for experience and work closer with their events and
championships to attract more visitors.
Our Red-line Transit BRT Line is a real asset to both hotels. Within one block of either
hotel, visitors or just part of their family can take the transit to the outlets, Mall of
America or to either Minneapolis or St. Paul downtown areas.
Continuing CVB Programs
We will again in 2020 have Apple Valley with a strong presence on the Calendar pages of
the enhanced marketing in Explore Minnesota’s Newspaper insert in the Star Tribune to
millions of readers statewide (3 times per year) and distributed at Visitor Centers and in
fulfillment mailings and also put in every Star Tribune delivered statewide at least 3x
annually. We spend $15,000 on these 3 editions but the coverage is statewide and
western Wisconsin.
We will soon re-print our popular walking around map of downtown Apple Valley for
the hotels counters in full color tear off sheets and for major events. The Zoo and the
Athletic Associations and campgrounds also use these in great quantity.
Chamber/CVB Leadership
• Chamber President Ed Kearney in his 18th year as President, recently served two terms
as the Chairman of the Metropolitan Coalition of Chambers of Commerce. Ed has
recently been named to a 3 year term on the MINNESOTA CHAMBER’S STATEWIDE
CHAMBER PRESIDENTS BOARD which focuses on development of unifying ALL chamber
presidents on issues, events, training and leadership. Ed’s leadership brings great
attention to Apple Valley as well as helps with future co-op opportunities with other
CVB’s and Chambers.
• Ed four years ago was selected by the US Chamber Board Chairman of their Institute
Program at Loyola Marymount College in Los Angeles, California, to be head of their
incoming junior class of Chamber Presidents in US and Europe. Only four Chamber
Presidents in the country were selected to help lead this non-profit certification
program. Ed Kearney completed his own certification in this program 14 years ago.
This is a 4 year summer program where Chamber Presidents become certified by US
Chamber as IOM or a degree of Institute of Organizational Management. This is a huge
honor to be one of only four selected out of thousands of Chamber Presidents in the US.
• Chamber President Ed Kearney had spent nearly a decade representing Apple Valley on
the critical Minnesota Zoo’s Legislative Board. We have been instrumental in helping
secure $42 million for the Minnesota Zoo the last three years that paid for their Grizzly
Coast and now the “Heart of the Zoo” $20 million project completed last year. This
funding helps expand the Zoo into a world class Zoo, thereby benefitting Apple Valley
directly.
• Chamber President Ed Kearney also has top experience in having spent nearly a decade
as Director of Tourism for Colorado Springs CVB as well as a year as the Director of both
the domestic and international tourism departments for Mall of America.
• Chamber President Ed Kearney serves on many boards from Wings Legislative Board to
the Superintendent’s School Districts Facilities Safety & Expansion Advisory board. Ed
also has served on the YMCA’s, DCTC’s Entrepreneur Board, two term Chairman of
Metro Chamber Presidents Minnesota Chamber’s Chamber Presidents Board (MCCE)
and many others.

dated 9/16/19 for Project No. 2019107/2019110
2) Drawing No. C9.02 – Menards Street & Utility Improvements by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
dated 9/16/19 for Project No. 2019107/2019110
TERMS AND PROVISIONS
1. Approved Encroachments. The Approved Encroachments, as further identified,
described and limited in the Plan Drawings as set forth in Exhibit “C” are limited to the
following:
(a) Fernando Avenue at ESN 399+69 (#3-10”) and ESN 403+92 (#2-12”)
City will construct Fernando Avenue on the Magellan Easement Tract and across Magellan’s
Facilities Pine Bend – Rosemount #3-10” (Line ID 6190) at approximately ESN 399+69 and
Pine Bend – Rosemount #2-12” (Line ID 6415) at approximately ESN 403+92. The current
depth of cover is 5’. The new roadway will consist of asphalt pavement and grading plans
3
Encroachment Agreement EA-F Xing – 1-01-12 – Tract 8113 Dakota County, MN - Agent AR - Project 19-079
indicate that finish grade will leave approximately 5.5’ of cover. Sub-cut of 12” will be allowed
on the Magellan easement for the construction of the new roadway. City will maintain a
minimum of 4’ of cover between Magellan’s Facility and finish grade. A Magellan
representative is to be onsite during construction activities. Construction activities will be
limited over the pipeline during installation activities. See “Other Considerations” for details.
(b) Proposed 15” RCP at ESN 408+67 (#3-10”) and ESN 412+90 (#2-12”)
City will construct a 15” RCP across the Magellan Easement Tract and under Magellan’s
Facilities Pine Bend – Rosemount #3-10” (Line ID 6190) and Pine Bend – Rosemount #2-12”
(Line ID 6415) at approximately ESN 408+67 (#3-10”) and ESN 412+90 (#2-12”), respectively.
Current plans propose 11 feet of vertical separation. A minimum vertical separation of 2 feet
between the bottom of Magellan’s Facility and the top of the 15” RCP is required. If digging
gets within 2 feet of the Magellan pipeline, hand digging is required. A Magellan representative
is to be onsite during construction activities. Construction activity will be limited over the
pipeline during installation activities. See “Other Considerations” for details.
Other Considerations:
Heavy Equipment Crossings
Although exact construction equipment is not known at this time, pipeline stress calculations
have been performed based on an assumed maximum loaded vehicle weight of 80,000 lbs. The
stress calculations further assumed that the gross loaded vehicle weight was evenly distributed
between two (2) axles resulting in a maximum wheel load of 20,000 lbs. Based upon these
assumptions and the pipeline depths of provided by Magellan, equipment meeting the aforesaid
criteria may safely cross the Magellan pipelines; however, a Magellan field representative will
need to be present to verify the pipeline depth of cover prior to allowing equipment to cross. A
minimum cover of three (3) feet shall be maintained for all equipment crossings over Magellan
pipelines.
Tracked equipment and equipment exceeding the maximum wheel load specified above will not
be allowed to cross the Magellan pipelines without further evaluation of the pipeline stresses. If
equipment exceeding the maximum wheel load specified above will need to cross the pipelines,
detailed information will need to be received in order to perform pipe stress calculations. The
following information will need to be received to perform a more thorough analysis of wheeled
vehicles: loaded vehicle weight, number of axles on the front and rear, and weight distribution
between the front and rear axles. For equipment on tracks, the following information is needed:
loaded vehicle weight, length of track in contact with the ground, and track width.
2. No Other Encroachments. Except for the Approved Encroachments as allowed by this
Agreement, City shall not create, erect, place or construct any other Encroachment on,
above or below the surface of the ground on Magellan’s Easement Tract, or change the
grade or elevation of the ground surface within Magellan’s Easement Tract or at any time
4
Encroachment Agreement EA-F Xing – 1-01-12 – Tract 8113 Dakota County, MN - Agent AR - Project 19-079
plant or allow any trees thereon or cause or permit any of these to be done by others, without
the express prior written permission of Magellan.
3. Magellan On-Site Representative. Exclusive of Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays, City
shall notify Magellan a minimum of 48 hours in advance of any Encroachment activities on
Magellan’s Easement Tract so that Magellan may arrange to have a representative present.
At Magellan's option and at City's sole cost and expense, Magellan's representative may be
on site during all Encroachment activities over or within ten feet (10') of the Magellan
Facilities to confirm that no damage occurs to the Magellan Facilities. The presence of
Magellan's representative or any verbal instructions given by such representative shall not
relieve City of any liability under the Easement or this Agreement, and will not change the
terms of the Easement or this Agreement, which may only be changed by written agreement
by authorized representatives of City and Magellan. If pipeline, coating, cathodic protection
and/or any other repair of Magellan Facilities is required by Magellan or if the safety of the
Magellan Facilities is jeopardized, in Magellan’s sole judgment, City shall stop all
construction activities on Magellan’s Easement Tract until said repairs are completed or
until any unsafe construction practices are resolved to the satisfaction of Magellan’s on-site
representative. Written notification of such construction activity shall be made to
MAGELLAN PIPELINE COMPANY, Bruce Krech, Damage Prevention and
Maintenance Officer, Cell: (612) 257-4726, Email: bruce.krech@magellanlp.com, or
such other representative of Magellan, which Magellan may from time to time designate.
4. Protection of Magellan Facilities. City shall protect the Magellan Facilities if excavating
and backfilling become necessary within Magellan’s Easement Tract. If excavating within
2 feet of any Magellan pipeline or when otherwise deemed necessary by Magellan’s on-site
representative, City shall perform any necessary digging or excavation operations by hand
digging. City shall reimburse Magellan for all costs of having a representative of Magellan
on-site during construction activities related to the Approved Encroachments.
5. Breach. If either City or Magellan breaches this Agreement and the non-breaching party
commences litigation to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, the reasonable cost of
attorneys' fees and expenses will be payable to the non-breaching party by the breaching
party upon demand, for all claims upon which the non-breaching party prevails.
6. Insurance. City shall procure or cause its contractors and subcontractors to procure and
maintain in force throughout the entire term of this Agreement insurance coverage described
below with insurance companies acceptable to Magellan for work performed related to the
construction of the Approved Encroachments. All costs and deductible amounts will be the
responsibility and obligation of the City or its contractors and subcontractors. Prior to
commencing any activities related to the construction of the Approved Encroachments, the
City must deliver to Magellan certificate(s) of insurance, naming Magellan Midstream
Partners, L.P. and its Affiliates as an additional insured. The limits set forth below are
minimum limits and will not be construed to limit the City’s liability:
5
Encroachment Agreement EA-F Xing – 1-01-12 – Tract 8113 Dakota County, MN - Agent AR - Project 19-079
(a) Workers' Compensation insurance complying with the laws of the State or States having
jurisdiction over each employee and Employer's Liability insurance with limits of
$1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.
(b) Commercial General Liability insurance on an occurrence form with a combined single
limit of $5,000,000 each occurrence; and for project specific, an annual aggregate of
$5,000,000. Coverage must include premises/operations, products/completed operations,
and sudden and accidental pollution. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. and its
Affiliates (hereinafter defined), and its and their respective directors, officers, partners,
members, shareholders, employees, agents, and contractors shall be included as additional
insureds. The term “Affiliate(s)” as used herein means, with respect to Magellan
Midstream Partners, L.P., any individual, corporation, partnership, limited partnership,
limited liability company, limited liability partnership, firm, association, joint stock
company, trust, unincorporated organization, governmental body, or other entity
(collectively, a “Person”) that directly, or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries,
controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with Magellan Midstream
Partners, L.P. The term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under
common control with”), as used in the previous sentence means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. or such Person, as applicable, whether through
ownership of voting stock, ownership interest or securities, by contract, agreement or
otherwise.
(c) The Sudden and Accidental Pollution can be a separate, stand alone policy, but must still
meet the $5,000,000 minimum limit requirement. If the coverage is written on a claims-
made policy form, the coverage must be maintained for two (2) years following
completion of the work activities related to the Approved Encroachments.
(d) In each of the above policies, the City or its contractors and subcontractors agree to waive
and will require its insurers to waive any rights of subrogation or recovery either may have
against Magellan and its affiliated companies.
(e) Regardless of the insurance requirements above, the insolvency, bankruptcy, or failure of
any such insurance company providing insurance for the City or its contractors and
subcontractors, or the failure of any such insurance company to pay claims that occur,
such requirements, insolvency, bankruptcy or failure will not be held to waive any of the
provisions hereof.
(f) In the event of a loss or claim arising out of or in connection with the construction of the
Approved Encroachments, the City agrees, upon request of Magellan, to submit a
certified copy of its insurance policies for inspection by Magellan.
6
Encroachment Agreement EA-F Xing – 1-01-12 – Tract 8113 Dakota County, MN - Agent AR - Project 19-079
(g) The City shall require all of its contractors and subcontractors for work related to the
construction of the Approved Encroachments to provide adequate insurance coverage,
all to be endorsed with the Waiver of Subrogation wording referenced in Section (d)
above; any deficiency in the coverage, policy limits, or endorsements of said contractors
and subcontractors, shall be the sole responsibility of the City.
7. Indemnification. City will indemnify, save, and hold harmless Magellan, its affiliated
companies, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and contractors from any and all
environmental and non-environmental liabilities, losses, costs, damages, expenses, fees
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees), fines, penalties, claims, demands, causes of action,
proceedings (including administrative proceedings), judgments, decrees and orders resulting
from City’s breach of this Agreement or caused by or as a result of the construction, use,
maintenance, existence or removal of the Approved Encroachments and Other
Encroachments located on the Magellan Easement Tract. The presence of Magellan’s
representative or any instructions given by such representative will not relieve City of any
liability under this Agreement, except to the extent that such liability results from
Magellan’s or its representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
8. Damage or Loss. City covenants that:
(a) If at any time, in the sole opinion of Magellan, it becomes necessary for Magellan, to
cross, occupy, utilize, move or remove all or portions of the Approved Encroachments
placed on Magellan’s Easement Tract or constructed pursuant to this Agreement, for
any purpose, including but not limited to surveying, constructing new facilities,
maintaining, inspecting, operating, protecting, repairing, replacing, removing or changing

General Encroachment Requirements – (L.P.– 1/1/07)
MAGELLAN PIPELINE
COMPANY, L.P.
General Encroachment
Requirements
A. GENERAL - These requirements
define the minimum standards of
practice for encroachments by a
landowner (including any developer,
business entity, utility company or
individual working for, or on behalf
of, or with permission of landowner)
(herein referred to collectively as
“Owner”) to pipeline corridors and
rights of way (“Magellan’s
Easement Tract”) owned or operated
by Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P.
(“Magellan”). Upon written request
by Owner to Magellan, a copy of
these minimum requirements shall be
provided to any developer, business
entity, utility company or individual
working on behalf of Owner or with
the permission of Owner within
Magellan’s Easement Tract. Specific
circumstances may require additional
precautions or more stringent
methods in order to protect the
integrity of Magellan’s pipelines and
facilities. Magellan’s Easement Tract
for purposes of these General
Encroachment Requirements shall be
considered to be any area within fifty
(50) feet of any Magellan pipeline or
other Magellan-owned or operated
facility unless a different right of way
width is specified by one or more
recorded right of way or easement
documents (herein collectively called
“Easement”, whether one or more),
in which case such specified width
shall define Magellan’s Easement
Tract.
1. Encroachment Definition. An
“encroachment” is any use of the
land within Magellan’s Easement
Tract which could interfere with
Magellan’s Easement rights or which
could create safety concerns for
Magellan pipelines and/or facilities
located on Magellan’s Easement
Tract. Encroachments include, but
are not limited to: structures, fixtures,
personal property, landscaping,
foreign utilities, foreign pipelines,
roadways, railroads, waterway
crossings, water impoundments,
walls, heavy equipment and heavy
loads on Magellan’s Easement Tract,
and also any excavation, digging,
drilling, tunneling and addition,
removal or disturbance of soil or
subsoil within Magellan’s Easement
Tract.
2. Magellan Representative
Required On-Site. Magellan
pipeline systems operate at high
pressures, and for safety reasons,
Magellan requires its company
representatives to be on-site while
Owner is excavating or performing
other activities which could endanger
the Magellan pipelines or other
facilities on
Magellan’s Easement Tract. For
other activities of the Owner on the
Magellan Easement Tract, the
Magellan field representative shall
determine whether Magellan’s
continuous presence or periodic
monitoring of encroachment
activities will be required and shall
inform the Owner. A Magellan
representative will be made available
upon 48 hours notice (exclusive of
weekends and holidays) to determine
the location and approximate depth
of any Magellan pipelines. No
excavation shall be commenced
without prior written approval from
Magellan and verification by
Magellan of the location and
approximate depth of its pipelines.
3. Magellan’s Facilities.
Magellan’s facilities include, but are
not limited to, Easement, rights of
way, pipelines, meter and valve sites,
aboveground piping manifolds and
cathodic protection systems.
4. Land Use Change - Notification.
The landowner and tenant, if any,
must notify Magellan at any and
every time when the land use will be
changed for land on or adjacent to
Magellan’s Easement Tract.
Examples of such land use changes
are:
• Change from pasture to cultivation
• Change in depth of tilling (e.g.
plowing deeper or deep-breaking the
land)
• Change in that terraces will be cut
or re-cut
• Change from agricultural use to
residential, commercial or industrial
use.
• Change from residential to
commercial or from commercial to
industrial.
5. Governmental Regulations and
Industry Guidelines. Owner must
comply with all applicable laws and
regulations, as well as Magellan’s
policies as expressed herein. Owner
is also hereby referred to the
Common Ground Alliance Best
Practices which can be found on the
web site:
www.commongroundalliance.com
(See “Program Information” / “Best
Practices”) and which is available
from Common Ground Alliance in
booklet form for easy reference. Best
Practices addresses the most common
issues for damage prevention for an
encroaching party, including, among
others: Planning and Design; One-
Call Center; Locating and Marking;
Excavation; and Mapping.
In the even of a conflict between
laws and regulations, Magellan’s
policies and the Common Ground
Alliance Best Practices, the following
priority shall govern encroachments
on Magellan’s Easement Tract: 1st --
laws and regulations; 2nd --
Magellan policies; and 3rd --
Common Ground Alliance Best
Practices.
B. MAGELLAN RIGHT OF WAY
PRACTICE
1. Personal Property and Fixtures
To Be Kept Off of Magellan’s
Easement Tract. In order to keep
Magellan rights of way clear for
operations, maintenance, inspection
and emergency access, personal
property and fixtures shall not be
placed, stored or maintained on
Magellan’s Easement Tract. Personal
property and fixtures include, but are
not limited to, storage sheds,
automobiles, trailers, mobile homes,
above-ground swimming pools,
business equipment, product
inventory, scrap metal, boulders,
large rocks, debris, junk and piles of
materials.
2. Encroachments Subject to Being
Cleared from Magellan’s Easement
Tract. Subject to the terms of its
Easement (including right of way
agreement[s] and other written
agreements) , Magellan may keep
Magellan’s Easement Tract clear of
items that may hinder the exercise of
Magellan’s rights to construct,
operate, inspect, maintain, repair and
access its pipelines and other
facilities. Clearing of the Magellan’s
Easement Tract shall include, but not
be limited to the following: removal
of trees, brush, crops, other
vegetation and non-permitted
encroachments located on or
overhanging all or part of any
Magellan’s Easement Tract. Trees or
other vegetation overhanging
Magellan’s Easement Tract may be
side-trimmed.
C. ENCROACHMENT PLANNING
1. Plan Review Required by
Magellan. For any encroachment,
Magellan must be provided project
plans to review and approve, prior to
the encroachment occurring, for
purposes of damage prevention.
2. Submission of Complete Plans.
Owner must submit complete plans
to Magellan for review. Incomplete
plans could delay Magellan’s
engineering impact study and
insufficient information could result
in increased costs. Plans must
include:
• A plan view of the project with the
pipeline(s) location included.
• An illustration in profile of the
existing surface elevations, the
proposed surface elevations and the
elevation of the Magellan pipeline(s).
• A comprehensive utility /structure
/grading plan depicting the
relationship to the pipeline(s).
• A proper legal description of the
project location.
• Complete landscaping plans.
• Complete plans for backfilling and
compaction of backfill material.
3. Plans Must Show Magellan’s
Easement Tract, Pipelines and
Facilities. All construction plans
(prints) showing lands where all or
any part of Magellan’s Easement
Tract, any Magellan pipeline or
facility is located must contain the
following:
• Location and depth of all Magellan
pipelines and facilities
• The width of Magellan’s Easement
Tract
• A standard warning statement
conspicuously displayed containing
the following language:
WARNING
HIGH-PRESSURE PIPELINE(S)
Excavation and/or Construction
Prohibited Without compliance with
State One-Call AND Without Written
Permission From MAGELLAN
PIPELINE COMPANY, L.P.
4. Written Encroachment
Agreement Required. A written,
fully executed Encroachment
Agreement must be in place between
Magellan and Owner before Owner
commences work on any
encroachment.
5. Costs. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing, all costs to Magellan that
result from any encroachment should
be paid by Owner. Such costs shall
include, but not be limited to:
modification, replacement, lowering,
and protection of pipelines, including
engineering evaluation and design,
field labor and real estate research
and document preparation and
handling,
6. Pipeline Integrity Inspection.
Prior to the installation of any
structure, parking lot, roadway or
other facility which might interfere
with or hinder Magellan’s inspection
of any pipeline or facility, Magellan
will perform an integrity review of its
pipeline and any other assets which
may be affected by the proposed
structure, parking lot, roadway or
other encroaching facility in order to
determine that Magellan’s assets
comply with integrity requirements
and to allow Magellan to make any
needed changes prior to construction
of any encroachments.
7. Soil On Magellan’s Easement
Tract -- Removing and Adding. No
soil shall be removed from or added
to Magellan’s Easement Tract
without written authorization from
Magellan. Any soil added must be
clean (without contaminants, trash or
debris) fill dirt and must be limited in
amount so that the
resulting cover (vertical distance
from the surface of the land to the top
of Magellan’s pipeline) is not greater
than eight feet (8’).
8. Erosion Control Materials.
Erosion-control materials may be
allowed on Magellan’s Easement
Tract for temporary periods of
construction and restoration.
9. Proof of Title to Property.
Magellan may require Owner to
provide proof of current ownership of
the land where the proposed
encroachment is to be located. Such
proof may be in the form of a Title
Commitment, Title Policy, or a copy
of a recorded Warranty Deed.
10. Subdivision Plat. Magellan
requires a copy of the Subdivision
Plat, if applicable. If the plat has been
recorded, Magellan requires a copy
indicating the book and the page of
the recording.
11. Location and Approximate
Depth of Pipelines. A Magellan
representative is normally available
with 48 hours notice (exclusive of
weekends and holidays) to determine
the location and approximate depth
of the pipeline(s). Determining actual
depths of pipelines may require pot-
holing or hand-digging by, and at the
expense of Owner in the presence of
an authorized Magellan
representative. No excavation on
Magellan’s Easement Tract shall take
place without approval by Magellan.
12. Vertical Separation Between
Magellan Pipeline or Facility and
an Encroaching Object or
Structure. Vertical separation is
defined in this document as the
vertical distance between the
outermost part of a Magellan
pipeline, facility or appurtenance (for
example, the outside of the pipe [for
uncased pipe] or the outside of the
pipe casing [for cased pipe]) and the
outermost part of the encroaching
object (for example, the outside of
the encroaching pipeline or the
outside of its conduit).
13. Construction Equipment
Information. Owner shall provide to
Magellan information as to the type,
size, and weight of construction
equipment that will be used over or
in the vicinity of the pipeline(s).
D. ENCROACHMENT DESIGN
REQUIREMENTS &
STANDARDS
1. Risk of Loss and Damage.
Owner shall bear the risk of loss,
damage and/or destruction to any
structure, fence, landscaping or
improvement placed within the
boundaries of Magellan’s Easement
Tract and shall hold Magellan
harmless

agreement with Magellan, the
fencing must comply with the
following:
1) Not Parallel to Pipeline. No
fence shall be allowed to be
constructed parallel closer
than 10 feet to any Magellan
pipeline, within the
boundaries of Magellan’s
Easement Tract.
2) Fence Posts Location. No
fence posts will be allowed to
be within five (5) feet of any
Magellan pipeline or facility.
3) Gates Required. Magellan
may require any fence
constructed within the
boundaries of Magellan’s
Easement Tract to have gates
of such size and suitability as
is necessary or convenient for
Magellan to access its
pipelines and/or facilities for
its operations, including
inspections, at each point
where the fence crosses a
Magellan pipeline or facility
boundary. Magellan shall be
allowed to put a Magellan
lock on such gates, which will
allow access to Magellan’s
Easement Tract and/or
facilities through such gates.
4) Angle of Fence Crossing. It
is preferred that fence
crossings be as close to 90
degrees as possible.
3. Landscaping, Elevation
Changes and Water.
a. Landscaping Definition.
Landscaping shall include,
but not be limited to, trees,
shrubs, underground
irrigation or sprinkler
systems, sidewalks or other
paths, retaining walls, terraces
or other land grade changes,
within
Magellan’s Easement Tract.
b. General Landscaping
Requirements. The following are the
general rules for landscaping on
Magellan’s Easement Tract:
1)Written Approval. Landscaping
proposed to be done on Magellan’s
Easement Tract must be approved
by Magellan in a written
encroachment agreement. Among
other terms, the encroachment
agreement will release Magellan
from any liability for damages to
the landscaping from the exercise
of Magellan’s Easement rights.
2) Trees Not Permitted. Trees
are not permitted on Magellan’s
Easement Tract.
3) Shrubs. Shrubs exceeding 3
feet in height and/or obstructing
the view of any Magellan pipeline
marker posts are not permitted on
Magellan’s Easement Tract.
4) Irrigation Systems, Field
Drain Lines, and Sidewalks.
Irrigation systems, field drain lines
and sidewalks that are to cross a
Magellan pipeline must cross such
pipeline at an angle as close to 90
degrees as possible, but in no event
at an angle less than 45 degrees
and must comply with other
applicable provisions of this
document.
c. No Water Bodies on Magellan’s
Easement Tract. Retention of water,
including but not limited to,
Livestock ponds, lakes, retention
ponds, or wetlands may not be
constructed or formed on Magellan’s
Easement Tract.
d. Surface Grade and Elevation
Changes. Surface grade or elevation
changes must be reviewed and
approved in writing by Magellan.
4. Foreign Pipeline & Utility
Crossings. No foreign pipelines or
utility lines of any type shall be
allowed to be constructed parallel to
any Magellan pipeline within the
boundaries of Magellan’s Easement
Tract.
a. Minimum Angle for
Pipeline/Utility Crossing. Any
foreign pipeline or utility that is
proposed to cross a Magellan
pipeline must cross the Magellan
pipeline at an angle as close to 90
degrees as possible, but in no event at
an angle less than 45 degrees.
b. Vertical Separation
Requirements for Crossing. Foreign
pipeline(s), utilities (except high-
voltage lines – see below) or flow
lines should cross Magellan
pipeline(s) with at least 24 inches of
vertical separation. Special written
authorization must be given in the
event vertical separation is less than
that specified in these General
Encroachment Requirements. The
preferred method for a foreign
pipeline or utility to cross a Magellan
pipeline is to cross below the
Magellan pipeline.
c. Warning Tape Required. When
any foreign pipeline or utility line is
proposed to cross a Magellan
pipeline, Owner must place 6” wide
McMaster-Carr No. 8288T12 or
equal within Magellan’s Easement
Tract
in the following manner:
1) The tape must be placed directly
over (parallel to) and at least 15
inches above the foreign line for
the entire distance that it
occupies Magellan’s Easement
Tract. Additionally, the tape
must be placed directly over
(parallel to) and at least 15
inches above each Magellan
pipeline that is crossed for a
minimum distance which is the
greater of:
(a) a minimum distance of 20
feet on each side of the
Magellan pipeline, or
(b) across the entire width of
Magellan’s Easement Tract
2) The placement of warning tape
on each side of Magellan
pipeline(s) will not be required
for utility cables that are
installed using the directional
drill or jacking method.
d. Crossings By Metal Pipelines or
Conduits. Metallic pipe crossing
Magellan pipeline(s) may require
Magellan to perform a cathodic
protection interference survey. If
interference with Magellan’s
cathodic protection system is
detected and remediation is
necessary, Owner agrees to
cooperate with Magellan and to
make necessary adjustments in
Owner’s interfering metallic pipe or
other remediation to correct such
interference problem insure that the
Magellan cathodic protection
system is operating properly.
e. Crossing Requirements.
Electrical, fiber optic, local service
communication, long distance
carrier telephone, and utility cables
should cross Magellan pipeline(s)
with a minimum of 24-inches of
vertical separation. All such lines
must be covered with a Concrete
Slab for the full width of the
Easement Tract, if requested by
Magellan. If such lines have an
exposed concentric neutral, a test
point from the ground wire shall be
installed by the power company.
f. Crossing Requirements For
Lines Going Over a Magellan
Pipeline. In the event the electrical,
fiber optic, local service
communication, long distance
carrier telephone, and utility cables
cable crosses over a Magellan
pipeline, such line shall be encased
in red concrete across the full
width of Magellan’s Easement
Tract, unless a variance is granted
by Magellan, as set forth below.
g. Written Authorization for
Variance. Owner must have written
authorization from Magellan for any
variance from the vertical
separation requirements listed above
and/or for any variance from the
requirement for
encasement of high-voltage
electrical lines in red concrete.
h. Utility Poles and Guy Anchors.
Utility poles and guy anchors
shall not be placed on Magellan’s
Easement Tract without a written
agreement. With a written
agreement, poles and anchors
may be placed no closer than 20
feet to any Magellan pipeline.
Poles shall not be allowed to run
parallel to a Magellan pipeline
within the Magellan Easement
Tract.
i. Directional Drilling / Boring.
1) Prior to commencing any
horizontal directional drilling,
Owner shall submit plans
showing procedure and
material descriptions for
Magellan’s approval. The
plans and description shall
include, but not be limited to
the following:
• Profile and plan showing
location of entry and exit
points
• Work space required to
perform the work
• Mud containment and
disposal sites
2) Owner shall positively locate
and stake the location of
Magellan’s existing pipelines
and other underground
facilities, including exposing
any facilities located within
10 feet of the designed drilled
path. Prior to commencing
drilling operations, Owner
shall modify drilling practices
and down-hole assemblies to
prevent damage to
Magellan’s existing pipelines
and other facilities. Owner
shall be responsible for losses
and repairs occasioned by
damage all Magellan
pipelines and other facilities
resulting from drilling or
boring operations.
3) At all times, Owner shall
provide and maintain
instrumentation to document
and accurately locate the pilot
hole and the drill bit, to
measure drill-string axial and
torsional loads, and to
measure drilling fluid
discharge rate and pressure.
At Magellan’s request, Owner
shall promptly provide
Magellan with reasonable
access to information and
readings provided by these
instruments, including copies
of any written documentation.
4) Pilot Hole.
• The pilot hole shall be
drilled along the path
shown in the plan and
profile drawings. No pilot
hole shall be made that
will result in any of the
encroaching utility being
installed in violation of
laws and regulations or of
Magellan’s requirements
described herein.
However, safety for any
adjacent utilities and/or
structures is of utmost
importance. Therefore,
the listing of separation
distances or tolerances
herein does not relieve
Owner from responsibility
for safe operations or for
damage to adjacent
utilities and structures.
• If tolerances are not
specified in the plan and
profile drawings, the pilot
hole shall have the
following tolerances:
• Elevation of +0 feet and -15
feet
• Alignment of +/-20 feet as
long as it does not come to
within 10 feet of Magellan’s
pipeline
• Initial penetration of ground
surface at exact location shown
in the plan and profile
drawings
• Final penetration of the
ground surface within +/-10
feet of the alignment and
within +30 feet and -0 feet of
the length shown in the plan
and profile drawings
• Curves shall be drilled at a
radius equal to or greater than
that specified in the plan and
profile drawings. The drilled
radius will be calculated over
any 3 joints (range 2 type drill
pipe) segment using the
following formula:
Rdrilled = (Ldrilled/Aavg) x
180/π
Where: Rdrilled =drilled radius
over Ldrilled
Ldrilled = length drilled; no
less than 75 feet and no greater
than 100 feet
Aavg = total change in angle
over Ldrilled
• At the completion of the pilot-
hole drilling, Owner shall provide
to Magellan a tabulation of
horizontal and vertical coordinates,
referenced to the drilled entry
point, which accurately describe
the location of the pilot hole.
5) Drilling Fluids.
•The composition of drilling fluids
proposed for use shall comply with
all applicable laws and regulations.
• Owner is responsible for
obtaining, transporting and storing
any water required for drilling
fluids.
• Disposal of drilling fluids and
drill cuttings shall be Owner’s
responsibility and shall be
conducted in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Drilling fluid shall not be disposed
of by placing fluids on or under
the surface of Magellan’s
Easement Tract.
• Owner shall employ best efforts
to maintain full annular circulation
of drilling fluids. Drilling fluid
returns at locations other than
entry and exit points shall be
minimized. If annular circulation
is lost, Owner shall take steps to
restore circulation. If inadvertent
surface returns of drilling fluids
occur, they shall be immediately
contained with hand-placed
barriers (e.g., hay bales, sand bags,
silt fences, etc.) and collected
using pumps as practical. If the
amount of surface return is not
great enough to allow practical
collection, the affected area will be
diluted with fresh water and the
fluid will be allowed to dry and
dissipate naturally. If
Page 6 of 17 Page 7 of 17 Page 8 of 17 Page 9 of 17 Page 10 of 17
EXHIBIT “B” TO ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT, 3 of 4
General Encroachment Requirements – (L.P.– 1/1/07)
the amount of surface return exceeds that
which can be contained with hand-placed
barriers, small collection sumps (less than 5
cubic yards) may be used unless permits or
other regulations prohibit the use of collection
sumps. If the amount of surface return
exceeds that which can be contained and
collected using barriers or small sumps, or if
the return of drilling fluids occurs in the body
of water proper, drilling operations will be
suspended until surface return volumes can be
controlled.
6) As-Built Drawing. Owner shall provide to
Magellan an as-built plan and profile drawing
of the drilled crossing showing the location of
the new crossing as well as the location of
Magellan’s pipeline.
5. Roadway, Driveway, Railroad and Equipment
Crossings. No roadway, driveway, railroad or
equipment crossings of any type shall be allowed
to be constructed parallel to any Magellan
pipeline within the boundaries of Magellan’s
Easement Tract.
a. Pipeline Integrity Inspection. A pipeline
integrity review shall be performed by Magellan
as described in provision “6” under “C.
Encroachment Planning” (above).
b. Load Bearing and Stress Limit
Requirements. Prior to any road, driveway, rail
bed or equipment crossing construction,
Magellan’s engineer must determine whether the
proposed compacted cover meets load-bearing
requirements and provides adequate protection to
limit stress on Magellan’s pipeline or other
facilities and must advise Owner of any
additional requirements necessary to provide
adequate protection.
c. No Crossing Over Pipeline Bend. Paved
surfaces or rail beds shall not be allowed to cross
a pipeline bend (point of inflection).
d. Minimum Angle of Crossing. Crossings
should be as close to 90 degrees to Magellan
pipeline(s) as possible, but not less than 30
degrees.
e. Pipeline Casing Issues. Magellan prefers that
cased roadway and railroad crossings no longer
be installed. If the carrier pipe under roadways
and railroads requires adjustment or relocation,
then instead of using casing, the carrier pipe will
consist of extra strength material or heavier wall
thickness to accommodate the additional
longitudinal stress due to external loads. If a road
or railroad crossing currently uses casing and the
road or railroad is being widened and no other
adjustment or relocation of the carrier pipe is
required, then Magellan may elect to extend the
casing pipe on the existing crossing(s) to
accommodate additional road surface. If casing is
used, it must not end under the roadway surface
or track structure, but must extend across the
entire length of the roadway or railroad right of
way.
f. Railroad Crossing Requirements. Railroads
shall be installed with a
minimum compacted cover over the carrier pipe, as
measured from the base of the rail to the top of the
pipe, as follows (see Figures 1 and 3):
Location of
Pipeline
Minimum
Compacted Cover
Over Top of
Pipeline
Under track structure
proper (Below
bottom of rail)
6.0 feet
Under all other
surfaces within the
right of way or from
the bottom of ditches
3.0 feet
g. Roadway and Driveway Crossings.
Roadways and driveways, shall be installed with
a minimum compacted cover over the carrier
pipe, as measured from the top of the roadway
surface to the top of the pipe, as follows (see
Figures 2 and 4):
Location of Pipeline Minimum
Compacted Cover
Over Top of
Pipeline

surface proper
(Below surface of
pavement)
4.0 feet
Under all other
surfaces within the
right of way or from
the bottom of ditches
3.0 feet
h. Crossing Pipelines Transporting Highly
Volatile Liquids. For Magellan pipelines
transporting highly volatile liquids, minimum
cover for a crossing at a drainage ditch must be 4.0
feet.
i. When Additional Depth Required. Depth
greater than the minimum depths stated above may
be required for a pipeline due to the combined
stress of internal pipeline pressure and external
loading pressure. Magellan will analyze each
proposed crossing based on information provided
by Owner to determine any additional depth that
may be required for the pipeline for safe operation.
j. Temporary Roads and Equipment Crossings.
Any such road or crossing must meet the following
requirements:
• Must be located at a site approved by a
Magellan field representative.
• Must provide adequate protection for
Magellan’s pipeline and other facilities, as
determined by the appropriate Magellan
engineer, so that the compacted cover meets
load-bearing requirements and provides
adequate protection to limit stress on the
pipeline or other facilities.
• Owner shall place Six-inch wide plastic
warning tape, McMaster-Carr No. 8288T12 or
equal, over each pipeline for the width of the
temporary road or equipment crossing, plus an
additional 20 feet past each outside edge of such
temporary road or equipment crossing
k. Owner Required to Protect Magellan
Pipelines. Magellan may require Owner to put in
place additional cover and/or stabilization
(timbers, steel plate, crushed rock, concrete slab,
etc.) at any approved equipment crossing in order
to protect Magellan pipelines, taking into account
possible effects of weather, pipeline depth, and
type of vehicles proposed to cross the pipelines.
Magellan will analyze each proposed crossing
based on information provided by Owner to
determine any additional depth or protection that
may be required for safe pipeline operation.
l. Heavy Equipment - Definition and
Requirements. Heavy equipment shall be defined
as vehicles having a gross weight in excess of
80,000 pounds. Heavy equipment shall be
prohibited from working directly on top of the
active pipeline. For vehicles having a gross
weight of 80,000 pounds or less, the pipeline must
have a minimum of 4 feet of cover. Magellan
must analyze the additional longitudinal stress
due to external loads if the vehicles have a gross
weight in excess of 80,000 pounds in order to
determine required pipeline depth for safe
operation.
6. Parking Lots and Other Pavement.
a. Parking Lot and Pavement Requirements.
All parking lots and other pavement installed on
Magellan’s Easement Tract shall consist of a
flexible surface such as asphalt. No reinforced
concrete will be allowed.
b. Pipeline Depth Under Parking Lot. The
depth of Magellan’s pipelines under a parking lot
must meet or exceed compacted cover
requirements listed in the previous “Roadway,
Driveway, Railroad, and Equipment Crossings”
section above
7. Waterway Crossings.
a. Pipeline Depth Requirements. If Owner
proposes to cross a Magellan pipeline with a
waterway (river, stream, creek, irrigation canal, or
drainage ditch), such crossing must result in
Magellan’s pipelines meeting or exceeding the
minimum depth below the bottom of the
waterway for compliance with then current
pipeline construction standards and federal, state,
and local regulations.
b. Requirements for Waterway Crossings:
1) Minimum Angle or Crossing. Crossings
should be as close to 90 degrees to Magellan
pipeline(s) as possible, but not less than 45
degrees.
2) Vertical Separation Requirements for
Waterway Crossing. Pipelines to be crossed
must have a minimum vertical separation of
five (5) feet, as measured from the bottom of
the waterway to the outermost part of a
Magellan pipeline, facility or appurtenance
3) Adding Weight to Pipeline for Negative
Buoyancy. Owner shall bear the cost of
Magellan adding sufficient weight or
mechanical devices to any Magellan pipeline
crossed by a waterway in order to create
negative buo yancy for such pipeline.
8. Blasting.
a. Magellan Written Approval
Required – Plan To Be Submitted.
Magellan must approve any proposed
blasting operations that could affect its
pipelines or facilities. Should blasting be
necessary, a comprehensive plan must be
submitted to Magellan for review and
written approval.
b. Safety Considerations – Damage
Prevention Plan. For safety and
preservation of Magellan assets, all
blasting shall be in accordance with
federal, state, and local governing
agencies and the Magellan’s “Damage
Prevention Plan for Blasting Near
Company Facilities”. A copy of said plan
will be made available upon request.
E. EXCAVATION NEAR MAGELLAN
PIPELINES.
1. STATE “ONE-CALL” REQUIRED. No
excavation or activity listed in “A. GENERAL
- 1. Encroachment Definition” above shall be
performed by Owner in the vicinity of
Magellan’s facilities or within Magellan’s
Easement Tract until proper telephone
notification has been made to the appropriate
“One Call” system and a Magellan
representative is on-site to monitor excavation
activities. All of the states in which Magellan
conducts pipeline operations have “One Call”
laws, which require 48-72-hours notification
prior to any excavation related activities.
After making a One-Call, the state One-Call
agency will notify Magellan to mark
accurately, in a reasonable and timely
manner, the location of the Magellan’s
pipeline facilities in the vicinity of the
proposed encroachment.
2. ONE-CALL NOTIFICATION. The
following list is provided for convenience, but
is not warranted by Magellan to be complete
or accurate (telephone numbers were copied
from each state’s web site on 1/5/2004).
Owner is required to acquire and call the
appropriate One-Call number(s) for its
location of activity.

3. Excavation Plan Approval. Owner shall submit to
Magellan for its approval plans for any proposed
excavation on the Magellan Easement Tract. No
excavation on Magellan’s Easement Tract shall be
commenced until Owner has secured Magellan’s written
approval of the plans. The excavation work shall be in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Owner is also referred to the Common Ground Alliance
Best Practices (referenced in this document).
4. Magellan Representative On-Site for Excavation.
A Magellan representative must be on-site when an
excavation is occurring on Magellan’s Easement Tract
(see provision “2” under “A. General” beginning on
page 1).
5. Removal of Side-Cutting Teeth from Equipment.
Side-cutting teeth shall be removed from buckets of
excavating equipment.
6. Parallel Excavating Required. When, in preparation
for crossing any Magellan pipeline with any other
pipeline or with electric line, communication line,
roadway or any other structure or facility, Owner needs
to locate a Magellan pipeline by use of mechanical
means. Owner must perform such locating activity by
excavating parallel to the Magellan pipeline with such
mechanical means, but
shall cease using the mechanical means when it reaches a point within two feet of
the Magellan pipeline (see next provision).
7. Exposing Pipeline by Hand. Excavating within 2 feet of any Magellan
pipeline shall be done by hand-digging until the pipeline is exposed and its
location is accurately known. Then, Owner must position the excavation
equipment so that from the point of operations the equipment will not reach
within 2 feet of any Magellan pipeline.
