The document discusses a resolution approving a partnership agreement between the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and the Minneapolis Parks Foundation to conduct a preliminary visioning and implementation study of the Waterworks site in downtown Minneapolis. The study will explore alternative visions for enhancing the underutilized riverfront property and engage the community for input over 3-4 months. The Foundation will manage the consultant contract and funding, while the Park Board will facilitate public involvement and review study outputs. The resolution establishes a non-appointed citizen advisory committee to provide broad community perspectives during the preliminary study.

The Future of Direct Potable Reuse in California
Abstract
Due to the water shortages, population growth, and competing demands for water in
California, the possibility of incorporating direct potable reuse technology in the state’s water
supply portfolio is being considered by various water resource providers. This paper focuses on
public acceptance challenges that may be encountered. By evaluating best practices employed by
six different potable water reuse case studies, recommendations for future direct potable reuse
projects are developed. It is recommended that future project proponents plan early and conduct
public opinion surveys regarding this type of technology, develop and implement public outreach
and education plans that include best practices defined in the case study analysis, and develop
outreach and education materials that meet the interests of various audiences. Specific practices
that should be considered include: educating the public about where existing supply sources
come from when describing the need for DPR technology, garnering support from health
professionals and local politicians, targeting outreach efforts to groups of people that may be
wary of this type of technology, and offering public tours of advanced water purification
facilities.
Case Study – City of San Diego, CA
1 Description
San Diego County heavily relies on imported water from northern California via the SWP,
Owens Valley, and the Colorado River. Today, these sources make up 85% of its supply. As a
result of a legal agreement in 1994, the city was mandated to construct a 45 MGD water
recycling system to meet established water recycling goals. Due to the limited demand for
reclaimed water generated at this facility and in effort to increase local water supplies, the city
and the San Diego Water Authority worked together to develop an IPR project in San Diego. The
city’s wastewater department mostly spearheaded this project. At the time, the City of San Diego
had envisioned taking treated water, purifying it further at an advanced water treatment facility,
and then using that water for augmenting San Vicente Reservoir. Project planning continued for
several years and even gained support from the CDPH and water experts. Throughout the
planning process, Project staff conducted public surveys, focus groups, and held stakeholder
interviews to better understand public concerns (Hartley, 2006). Despite all of this, in 1999, the
project faced opposition from the public. Although project staff thought that San Diego’s city
council was kept abreast about the project’s status, one city counc.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

FROM: Bruce Chamberlain, Assistant Superintendent for Planning Services
DATE: September 7, 2011
SUBJECT: Resolution approving a partner agreement with the Minneapolis Parks
Foundation and establishment of a non-appointed citizen’s advisory committee
process for preliminary visioning and implementation study of the Waterworks
site in downtown Minneapolis.
BACKGROUND
The Waterworks site (formerly referred to as the Fuji Ya site) in downtown Minneapolis offers an
exciting city-building opportunity. It is adjacent to West River Road and overlooks Saint Anthony
Falls with dramatic views up and down the Mississippi River. The property was once home to
the Fuji Ya restaurant, a beloved destination that afforded visitors a unique vantage point from
which to experience the power and spirit of the river. Further back in time, the site held one of
the many grain mills along the Minneapolis riverfront as well as a hydropower waterworks plant
(thus the newly minted Waterworks site name). Mill ruins still exist on the property – some
exposed, some buried and some contained within the restaurant building.
Since the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board purchased the property over two decades ago
to build West River Road, the site has been utilized for fee parking but not much more. Title
restrictions imposed by the State of Minnesota have not allowed the Park Board to put the
portion of the site unneeded for the parkway back into private use as originally intended. Now,
the vibrancy of downtown has exploded around the Waterworks site and the time to explore
exciting and bold alternative futures for public use of the site has arrived.
The Waterworks site has an opportunity to become a signature element of the Minneapolis Park
system and this belief has been embraced by the Minneapolis Parks Foundation. The Parks
Foundation has received a generous donation to conduct preliminary design visioning and an
implementation study for public use of the site. The study would explore alternative futures for
the Waterworks site that could include combinations of outdoor space, community gathering,
supportive enterprise and design innovation. The effort is viewed by the Foundation as an
opportunity to further the 21st Century Park vision for Minneapolis begun with the Minneapolis
Riverfront Design Competition.
The project is viewed by the Parks Foundation and Staff as a critical preliminary step in a reuse
strategy for the Waterworks site. It would be a relatively short-duration effort of three to four
months in length. Its primary intention is to explore multiple ideas for the site and test those
ideas for implementation feasibility and community excitement. If approved by the Board, the
Minneapolis Parks Foundation will enter into an agreement with the Park Board to collaborate
on the visioning and implementation study. Project responsibilities would be as follows:

The Foundation would:
Establish contractual relationships with consultants for completion of the
project.
Raise the full amount of funds necessary to complete the project and fully
compensate project consultants.
Work collaboratively with the Park Board to direct the work of project
consultants.
Actively participate in the community engagement process.
Work collaboratively with the Park Board on public relations and project
communication efforts.
The Park Board would:
Approve project consultant’s scope of work.
Organize and facilitate the community engagement process.
Review and approve interim and final deliverables prepared by project
consultants.
Work collaboratively with the Foundation on public relations and project
communications.
Provide the Foundation and project consultants with any pertinent
background materials, mapping, surveys, etc. in its possession.
LEGAL REVIEW
The Partner Agreement has been reviewed by MPRB legal counsel.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY
N/A
RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes this is an exciting first step in envisioning the future of the Waterworks site and its
pivotal role in bridging city and park. Because of the preliminary nature and short duration of the
project and to engage the broadest spectrum of the community staff recommends that a non-
appointed citizen’s advisory committee is well-suited to the effort. This approach will allow for
broad community engagement with the process and set the stage for a future, more in-depth
master planning effort where an appointed citizen’s advisory committee will be warranted.
Staff recommends approval of a partner agreement with the Minneapolis Parks Foundation and
establishment of a non-appointed citizen’s advisory committee process for preliminary visioning
and implementation study of the Waterworks site in downtown Minneapolis.
