Page 6 KSTP.com 4r 4 4 Watershed District Proposes Tough New Rules Updated: 01/06/2011 7:20 AM KSTP.com By: Tim Sherno Page 1 of 1 -.- Minnehaha Creek Watershed district is proposing tough new -___s to help curb the spread of invasive species like milfoil and _=; a muscles. The district wants to require anything, including personal watercraft, and docks, to be inspected before being :::wed in the water. €:ne a a Creek Watershed istrict Administrator Eric Evenson ............................................agrees there are already rules in place to curb invasive species, "The problem is that they're not being enforced by the local police departments." While the exact plan is still being developed, one idea would be to label each lake as infested or un -infested. Boats based on infested lakes would carry a red sticker, boats on un -infested lakes would carry a green sticker. All boats would be inspected before getting a sticker, and any boat moving from a red lake to a green lake would require re -inspection. According to Evenson, inspections could be done at bait shops or gas stations, locations currently selling fishing license, "They might pick up an inspection fee to go along with that, to pay for their cost, and time to do this work." Evenson says the watershed district needs to be aggressive because other agencies don't have the money or manpower required to adequately protect lakes and creeks. According to Evenson, "The state doesn't have the recourses or manpower to enforce them, so there's really not a lot happening. It's a rule in the books, there's not a tremendous amount of enforcement."

There are few governmental units that sell bonds during this time and many market professionals take time off. As in most years, very little has changed in the bond markets since our last market commentary two weeks ago The attached list of bond sales shows very little activity. So we are taking this opportunity to do a quick recap of major trends and events over the last year and a look forward to 2011. Interest Rate Trends We review many different indices and data services showing us trends in interest rates. To keep things simple, though, let's focus on one of the most widely quoted bellwethers of tax-exempt municipal interest rates — the "Bond Buyer Index" (also known as the "BBI" or the "20 Bond GO Index.") This index is published weekly by The Bond Buyer and shows the national average of yields on general obligation bonds rated AA/Aa and maturing in 20 years. The graph below shows the movement in this index over the last 12 months. Weekty Rates January, 2010 -January, 2011 Jan 10 Fab 10 Mar 10 Apr 10 May 11) Jun 10 Jul 10 Aug 10Sep 10 Oct 10 Nov 10 Dec 10 Jan 11 BBI (current! The index ended 2009 at 4.21%, fluctuated within a narrow range until early August and then began a steady decline, reaching a low of 3.82% on October 18 ---- the lowest level since 1967. The index then increased sharply, reaching a high of 5.15% on December 17, before declining to 4.95% at the end of the year. EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC HNANGE www.ehiers-inc.com Offices in Minnesota: (840) 552-1171 Wisconsin: (800) 717-9742 Illinois: (800) 417-1119 Page 8 Ehlers Market Commentary January 3, 2011 While the fluctuations over the year have been important, they pale in comparison to market movements over the past 25 years. The BBI reached a high point of 9.17% in 1967 and was over 6% briefly as recently as October 2008. Throughout all of 2010, rates have been at the low end of the range we have experienced over the last 25 years. There are some signs that rates may be headed lower in January. This is a trend that occurs many (but not all) years, and is attributed to the large numbers of bonds that either mature or are called on January I and February 1. The investors who held those bonds have cash to invest, and many would like to invest in similar bonds. This drives up the demand for bonds, and often drives down bond yields. While the markets have been quiet with little volume over the last two weeks, the general trend has been toward lower rates. The BBI declined by 20 basis points in the last two weeks. And the Municipal Market Data daily index of yields also generally declined; for example, the average yield on AAA -rated I0 -year bonds declined by two basis points. The BBI does not show some of the more subtle trends in interest rates. As discussed in our last market commentary, two other trends have occurred this year. 1. The yield curve has steepened. In other words, the difference in yields between shorter term and longer term bonds has increased. We expect this trend to continue or exacerbate based on the expiration of Build America Bonds and other alternative financing structures (see below). 2. Credit spreads (differences in yields between lower -rated and higher -rated bonds) have widened. That means that a strong credit rating is more important than it was a year ago in reducing the cost of borrowing. Bye Bye, BABs — We Hardly Knew Ye (And we're net talking about Barbara Streisand) The 2009 Federal Stimulus Bill (the ARRA) contained several provisions that dramatically changed the municipal bond market. The most prominent of these was Build America Bonds (BABs). Rather than issuing conventional tax-exempt bonds, state and local governments could issue taxable BABs at higher interest rates with the federal government subsidizing 35% of the interest cost. The goals of this program were to lower the cost of borrowing for state and local governments, stimulate economic activity, and broaden the market for investment in municipal bonds (to foreign investors, pension funds, and other investors who don't pay U.S. income taxes), all with little net cost to the federal government. Many market participants believe the program was wildly successful at achieving all of these goals, although at a higher cost to taxpayers than originally estimated. Hundreds of billions in BABs were issued over the last 18 months, including many by Ehlers' clients. 10 EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE www.ehiers-ine.com Page 2 Page 9 Ehlers Market Commentary January 3, 2011 The ARRA included other, lesser-known provisions related to municipal bonds, including: ® expansion of the limits for "bank qualified bonds," making it more beneficial for banks to buy bonds and thereby lowering borrowing costs for issuers; m creation of several other new types of bonds (qualified school construction bonds, recovery zone economic development bonds) with varying degrees of federal subsidies or tax credits; increases in allocations for existing forms of tax credit bonds (qualified zone academy bonds, clean renewable energy bonds, qualified energy conservation bonds). In the ARRA, the authority for most of these provisions was scheduled to expire at the end of 2010. However, there was widespread anticipation that some of the provisions, especially BABs, would be extended beyond 2010. But Congress couldn't reach agreement on extensions of these provisions prior to the November election. And in negotiations over the compromise tax package approved in December, there apparently wasn't enough support to extend the provisions. So BABs and some of the other new forms of bonds can no longer be issued, and we have returned to the pre -2009 provisions for bank qualified bonds. Is the Sky Really Falling? The municipal bond market rarely gets mentioned in the mainstream media, but in the last year there have been more stories than usual on municipal bankruptcies, actual or predicted bond defaults, and related topics of governmental financial distress. On December 19, CBS's 60 Minutes ran a story called "The Day of Reckoning" on the financial problems facing state and local governments. They interviewed prominent financial analyst Meredith Whitney, who predicted that there will be between 50 and 100 significant municipal bond defaults in 2011, totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. (The previous record for a year was $8.2 billion in 2008 — a minuscule fraction of the approximately $2 trillion in debt outstanding). After this alaniing report aired, other experts published articles that acknowledged there are significant financial problems facing state and local governments, but claimed that 60 Minutes and Whitney overstated the risk of bond defaults. Bloomberg News columnist Joe Mysak wrote that debt service is a relatively small portion of most state and local government budgets, and that the consequences of defaults are so severe that governments almost always find the funds to make bond payments. Fortune reporter Cyrus Sanati pointed out that, for most types of bonds (particularly general obligation bonds), state and local governments are mandated to levy taxes to make bond payments. Both of these writers clarified that, while some commentators like to talk about municipal bonds as a homogeneous investment, there are actually wide differences among bonds based on the source of payments and the credit quality of the issuer. For general obligation bonds from issuers with strong credit ratings, the risk of default remains very low. Defaults are more likely to occur with certain revenue bonds, for which bond payments are financed by revenues generated by the project financed. EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE www.ehiers-inc.com Page 3 Page 10 Ehlers Market Commentary January 3, 2011 So should you be worried about these dire predictions? The biggest concern for local governments should be that, if there is widespread concern from investors that municipal bonds are not a safe investment, borrowing rates could increase substantially. That hasn't happened, yet. In fact, since the 60 Minutes story aired, yields on municipal bonds have decreased. Our advice to our clients, as always, is to focus on your own financial management and debt issuance practices. There is nothing you can do about national trends and investor attitudes. But if you follow sound financial management practices — reasonable fund balances, conservative budgeting, long-term financial and capital planning — you will protect your credit rating and limit the cost of borrowing. And if you are cautious in your issuance of debt, you will ensure that you can make your debt payments with limited strains on your taxpayers and your budget. Do all of that, and you will stay out of the negative headlines.

The following information is the combined statistics for the first and second rounds of compliance checks for 2010. There were 5 compliance failures out of 111 completed checks on businesses with a license to sell alcohol, which equates to a 5% failure rate. The previous year end failure rate was calculated at 3.6%. There were 3 compliance failures out of 78 completed checks on businesses with a license to sell tobacco which equates to a 3.7% failure rate. The previous year end failure rate was calculated at 8.7%. During 2010, the City collected $5,500 for violations from compliance checks as compared to $8,250 from 2009.

Twitter functionality is built into our web authoring tool. It gives us the ability to tweet, and for our followers to re -tweet our messages. It also allows our followers to respond to our tweets one- on-one. That is, we are the only ones who see the response. To date, we have 84 followers on Twitter. Posting on Twitter requires little staff time, and, because of the closed nature of the Twitter communications loop, it requires little monitoring. We also created a YouTube account so that we can post special city videos and embed them into our website. We currently have a How to Ride Metrolink video posted on YouTube and embedded on the Metrolink landing page of the website. We have disabled the comments on the YouTube page that shows the video. Facebook presents another opportunity to share information and gain feedback that some cities are opting to use. We have yet to establish a City of Plymouth Facebook "fan" page. We have not done so because it presents a gray area. Cities on Facebook are still grappling with how to handle the liabilities it poses (record retention and open meeting laws) and the resources it requires (updating and monitoring). Additionally, city officials need to be comfortable with the fact that some people may post publicly viewable comments that are unrelated to the topic posted by the city or are inflammatory. Unexpected things happen in the social media sphere even to those cities that properly prepare by adopting a city attorney -approved social media policy. For example, on the first day one metro area city launched a Facebook fan page, a council member began posting on it, thereby creating potential open meeting violations. In the same city, a council member running for re- election used a picture of her election sign as her Facebook profile picture. When she posted comments, her re-election sign showed on the city's Facebook page. (I have attached an article about the City of Redondo Beach closing its Facebook page due to concerns about potential violations of the state open meeting law.) Another reason I am not actively pursuing a Facebook account is that the department that would most likely gain tangible benefits from Facebook (Parks and Recreation) is no longer interested in Facebook. Staff had previously expressed an interest in Facebook, but since the new website was launched, they no longer see a need for it as the site is meeting the department's online Page 24 information needs. They prefer to allocate their staff resources to keeping the website updated and to sending enotifications to subscribers rather than stretching staff thinner to accommodate another forum. My monitoring of city Facebook pages shows that suburban communities often seem to have boosters who become fans of the city pages. However, that is not always the case. If the City Council would like us to have a presence on Facebook, we can accommodate that. At this time, in absence of council direction, I do not have plans to create a Facebook page. That said, I will continue to monitor Facebook use by local government and raise the issue with you if I see a compelling reason for Plymouth to create a Facebook fan page or if answers to concerns about record retention and open meeting laws become apparent. As always, let me know if you have different thoughts on the topic or would like to discuss this further. Page 25 89.3 KPCC I Southern California Rublic Radio City of Redondo Beach drops Facebook page after concerns about open meeting Aug. 23, 2010 1 Cheryl Devall I KPCC It's not that Redondo Beach doesn't want to friend you —]I just doesn't Nvant to be on Facebook any more. The city plans to drop its page this week. The social networking site offers a great way for municipalities like Redondo Beach to stay in touch with constituents. But the etiquette for cities on Facebook is... complicated. For one, it's not clear if cities have to save user comments under California's public records act — or if they have to leave the most outrageous comments alone at the risk of limiting free speech. For another, nobody's worked out whether three or more city council members' comments on a given post would violate open meeting laws. Redondo Beach's city attorney Mike Webb told the Daily Breeze newspaper that he'll leave it to the courts to work out these and other consideration -s, adding, "I would just prefer that the case law not have city of Redondo Beach in the title." The South Bay city has maintained a Facebook page for about a year. It'll remain on Twitter, YouTube and Nixle. For the record, 589 people liked Redondo Beach as of Monday afternoon. Several of them — along with the city's mayor; lamented the loss of what they call an easy way to keep cuneni with municipal actions.

During that time I have had the pleasure of working with many city councils, parks commissioners, citizens and staff. Working together, I believe we have developed one of the finest parks and recreation agencies in the country and I am proud to have played a part in this accomplishment. Please accept this letter as notice of my retirement effective June 30, 2011. 1 have enjoyed working for you and being part of your management group. You have assembled an outstanding team and I know the city is in good hands. The Parks and Recreation team has never been stronger and I know they are going to reach greater heights in the years ahead. Finally, I want to thank all of the past city councils for their strong support. They have made my work fun, challenging, and extremely rewarding. Plymouth will always be number one in my heart.

PRISM has been grateful for the support of the City over the past year: we are glad to work in partnership with you in strengthening our communities one family at a time. This letter is to provide you with information about the number of Plymouth individuals and families served in various PRISM programs. 730 Florida Avenue South Golden Valley, MIN 55426 www.prismmpls.org 763.529.1350 f"", A 763.529.1454 In the 12 -month period from November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010 PRISM provided the following dollar value in goods and funds to residents of Plymouth: Food and Personal Care Items* $141,943 Clothin and Household Items** $41,432 School Su lies and Birthday Toys $10,630 Holiday Toys and Gifts $7,772 Homelessness Prevention Funds $18,626 PRISM Ex ress Rides*** $10,177 Total $230,580 *valued at $2/pound *valued at Wpound ***value includes salaries/admin With the exception of PRISM Express rides, these dollar values do not include staff salaries, administrative costs or fund-raising costs. This amount reflects actual goods and funds directly provided to families. In that same period, PRISM served the following numbers of Plymouth families and individuals in our emergency and support programs: Goods/Services Provided Families Individuals Food and Personal Care Items* 1,439 3,596 Clothing and Household Items** 1,080 N/A Birthday Toys and Pqty Supplies 51 55 Holiday Toys and Gifts N/A 208 School Supplies N/A 133 Homelessness Prevention 26 55 PRISM Express Riders N/A 940 Totals 2,596 1 4,987 Page 28 While the numbers give you a good idea of the impact of PRISM on the city of Plymouth, it is the stories of the families PRISM serves that show the real effect of these programs: A man in his mid -fifties came to PRISM for help. He had worked all his life as an independent carpenter and re -modeler, supporting himself and his family, committed to the values of working hard to make a good living. In the present, depressed economy, all of his work opportunities dried up and he found himself essentially unemployed. Because he was an independent contractor, he is not eligible for unemployment benefits, and therefore has no income at all. His wife is disabled and they have been trying to live on her modest SSI benefits. They have Iost their house and all their worldly possessions, sold off one by one in an attempt to remain self-supporting. Recently, he discovered his daughter has a serious drag problem, when she dropped off her three small children (ages 2, 4, and 7) and completely disappeared. Already unable to support himself and his wife, he now had to provide for the care and raising of three children. This man never thought he would have to use a food shelf. He came to PRISM as a very last resort, deeply ashamed, but completely desperate. PRISM provided food, including all the fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner, and gift cards to purchase winter coats and boots for the children, as they had none. But more than food and financial assistance, PRISM provided a listening ear and a caring heart and this fifty -something hard-working man felt safe enough to shed tears as he told his story to his caseworker. This man's story is not unique. There are hundreds of families in our local community that need this same help. Thank you for your continued partnership with PRISM in providing services to those who are struggling financially in the city of Plymouth. I welcome you to visit PRISM to experience first hand the work we do here. If you need further information or would like to arrange a site visit, please call me at (763) 529-1350 x109.
