Page 6 City of Plymouth News Release For Immediate Release August 12, 2009 Contact: Patty Schaffer, 763.509.5413 Public hearings scheduled on regional analysis of impediments to fair housing The Fair Housing Implementation Council (1rHIC) — in cooperation with the counties of Hennepin, Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Ramsey and Washington; and the cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Plymouth, St. Paul and Woodbury — has scheduled three public hearings in August to discuss preliminary findings of a metrowide analysis of discrimination and barriers to fair housing. FHIC and the counties and cities have contracted with Western Economic Services (WES) to conduct the analysis. The fair housing planning is required of communities that receive certain funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The final report will identify specific barriers to fair housing and proposed recommendations and time frames for addressing these issues. The document is on the Hennepin County website — tirrrrv.hennepin. its; see link under- "Notices" on the main page. WES will present the preliminary findings of the analysis at three public meetings. Anyone concerned with fair housing issues is encouraged to attend. Meeting locations and times are: • North Metro: Aug. 19. at 9:30 a.m. at the Anoka County Human Service Center, Room 300. 1201 89"' Ave. N.E. in Blaine. • South Metro: Aug. 19 at 2:30 p.m. in the Dakota County CDA Board Room, 1228 Town Centre Drive in Eagan. • West Metro: Aug. 20 at 9:30 a.m. in the Ridgedale Library Rohlf Room, 12601 Ridgedale Drive in Minnetonka.

Price: $5.5 million Details: A nearly full shop- ping center along the bustling Hwy. 55 corridor in Plymouth has exchanged hands amid a very slow market for com- mercial property investment transactions. An investor group, includ- ing Minneapolis-based West Real Estate and Management Cc, paid $5.5 million for the 26,330 -square -foot Plymouth Town Center in a lune ten- ant -un -common transaction, property records indicate -The Center includes Such retail ten- ants as an Applebee's casual dining restaurant, a UPS Store, a NewReflecbons Salon and a Caribou Coffee outlet and is "shadow -anchored" by a Cub Foods store. West Real Estate principal Thomas Noble said he views the purchase from Principai Zile Insurance of Des Moines, Iowa, as a strategic move into a west suburban submarket whose relatively well-off resi- dents have made it somewhat more immune to the tough times affecting retail propei- ties elsewhere in the Twin Cities "In general terms, the state of the market had everything to do withthe purchase," Noble said."Principal was go- ing through an adjustment in its real estate portfolio and needed to clew some of its assets — so while 1 wouldn't Dbniacobsen say it was a'fire sale'situation they were somewhatmoti- vated sellers.,' Noble saidthat situation, along with Plyrnouth's "top - end neighborhood demo- graphics" (anaverage incorne of S 125,000 within a three- mile radius) and its stable roster of tenants, made the 12 year -old -Plymouth Tows: Cen- ter an attractive proposition- "We roposition"We only have one small vacancy there,'°he said."It also helped that my partners and 1 had a local lenderhelping on the deal who knew the center."

Motion by Chad Adams and a second by Loren Harff to accept the Financial Report. Motion was approved. 6. Technical Advisory Committee/MnDOT Report: MnDOT District 3 Hwy 55 Environmental Assessment Status: Claudia Dumont said that preliminary work on the EA from Rockford to Buffalo was underway, but she does not expect the EA to be completed until 2010 due to District 3 workload on the Stimulus projects. Presently working on the EA for adding a lane on 1-94 so that project could be ready for potential redistribution of Stimulus Plan funding that cannot be used by other states. • MnDOT Metro Hwy 55 Environmental Assessment Status: John Griffith noted that the EA has been completed and right-of-way acquisition can be made as funding becomes available. Coalition Projects Status: --CR 134: Claudia Dumont said that the intersection was completed and the traffic signal is in operation. Just minor work remains. The project has been well received by the public. --CSAH 12: Wayne Fingalson said that the project has started and should be completed in 2-3 Weeks. The budget is coming in below budget. This project, near an elementary school, has also been well received by the public. --CR 11 b: John Griffith said that MnDOT is continuing to work with the City of Medina on the Hwy 55 intersection improvement project. Chad Adams said that Hennepin County has taken the lead for soliciting consultant proposals for concept to preliminary design of the CR 116 project.

The project will also extend the existing raised median further west with some access consolidation involved. --Target Investments to Generate Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grants—John Griffith said that MnDOT Metro has submitted a project on 1-494 from Hwy 55 north to the Fish Lake interchange to add a third lane. The estimated cost is $50-$60 Million. Jolui went on to explain the TIGER grant program noting that projects from around the U. S. will be competing for $1.5 Billion in funds with projects being in the $20 Million minimum to $300 Million maximum range. Projects need to be completed by 2013 to qualify. Currently. MnDOT is asking each MnDOT district, Counties and Cities to submit their projects which then will be reviewed with selected projects submitted to FHWA to compete with other states projects. As to a question of submitting a Hwy 55 project, John noted that there is not a Hwy 55 project at this time that could meet the criteria especially of being completed by the grant timetable. With the EA in Hennepin County just being completed, work on preliminary and final design of any Hwy 55 project has not started. 7. Legislative Updates. • Federal – Representative Bachmann & Paulsen's Authorization Request –Deb Steiskal announced that Representative Baclunann has submitted the Hwy 55 Corridor Coalition's request of $6 Million to the House Transportation Committee for consideration of including the project in the Transportation Authorization bill. The Hwy 55 request was one of only 5 project requests that Representative Bachmann approved for submittal, Marvin Johnson thanked Deb for her work and support of the Coalition's request and noted that the Coalition has sent a Thank You letter to Representative Bachmann. Representative Paulsen has also submitted the same $6 Million request. It was noted that by members attending the Washington Fly -In, that those visits and with Deb Steiskal attending the Coalition meetings and understanding what the Coalition's goals are, were certainly deciding factors in having the Coalition's request submitted by Representative Bachmann. That also is the case for Representative Paulsen's support of the project. Brad Larson further noted that Senator Klobuchar has submitted a $3 Million request for FFY 2010 Appropriations funds for the Coalition's projects. This support by Senator Klobuchar probably would not have happened without the Washington Fly -In visits with her staff. Deb and Brad also discussed the different position on the passing of the new Transportation Authorization bill between Congressman Oberstar and the President's administration. Congressman Oberstar wants to have the bill enacted by the current bill's expiration date of September 30, 2009. The President's administration through Transportation Secretary LaHood has asked instead for an 18 month extension of the existing bill. State: There was brief discussion of the Governor's Unallotlnent process and what impacts that could have to Counties and Cities. 8. Communications: There was no new communications to come before the Coalition. 9. Establish next full membership meeting date and time: The next meeting will be on Friday, August 21, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. at the Hennepin County Public Works facility. Training Room in Medina, This will also be the Coalition's annual Legislative meeting. Contact: I M'ai'ne : !.

I hope you found our discussions as productive as I did.. My understanding of the outcome of our discussions is as follows: • The City will accept the additional $15,000 offered by the MCWD as full and final payment for the Mooney Lake Outlet Project (City Project No. 7111). A final version of the Mooney Lake Operating Plan for Emergency Pumpingwill be provided upon approval by the City Council on August 25, 2009. • The MCWD will administer and fully fund the Gleason Lake 1 County Road 6 Pond Project (Chelsea Woods Erosion Project, City Project No. 8113). • The City agrees to maintain the Chelsea Woods channel constructed and funded by the MCWD upon completion provided the City has input into the final design. The MCWD will decide whether they desire to maintain the ponds constructed with the project or if they wish to have the City maintain them. • The City agrees that the version of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) you provided to me at our meeting is acceptable and will recommend City Council approval on August 25, 2009. The only provisions of the MOU that staff still questions are articles 1.4 and 3.1.

Page 33 AAA Metropolitan Council August 5, 2009 Nancy Tyra -Lukens, Chair Southwest Transit 13500 Technology Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Dear Ms. Lukens: The Metropolitan Council's draft 2010 transportation operating budget programs a reduced amount of discretionary funding for the suburban transit providers (STPs) collectively. I would like to take this opportunity to explain to you and the other Southwest Transit Commission members our approach. Background All ETPs receive their statutorily mandated "base" MVST funding which is 17.1% of the metropolitan area's base MVST share (21.5%). The Council is responsible for distributing "discretionary" state general fiend dollars as well as MVST above the 21.5% base, these discretionary MVST funds are the result of the 2006 constitutional amendment dedicating all MVST to transportation. In 2008, the {Council provided $7.5 million in discretionary fiends to the STPs. This amount was based on the STPs estimated needs for maintaining existing services. The Council's 2009 budget similarly programmed $6.8 million in discretionary funds to the STPs, again with the understanding that the funds were needed to maintain existing services. Use of Discretionary Funds and Estimated Reserve Balances Based on audited 2008 financial statements, the STPs spent $3.3 million of the $7.5 million, with $4.2 million going to STP reserves. Given this accrual to reserve balances, the Council estimated 2009 and 2010 year-end reserve balances using the following methodology: MVS"1' revenue based on most recent state forecast (February 2009) • 2008 audited expenses inflated by 3.15% annually Non-government revenues (i.e. fares, investment income) inflated by I% annually • Neither the October 2008 fare increase nor 2009 ridership declines are included, The methodology is not meant to be an exact calculation, but rather an analysis tool to estimate reserve balances and justify discretionary funding needs. The relatively high estimated 2009 and 2010 year-end reserve balances led the Council to discontinue discretionary funding to all STPs for the second half of 2009 and reduce discretionary allocations in 2010. www.metrecouncil.org 390 Robert Street North ■ 5t.

The calculations were subsequently adjusted to reflect comments received, such as Southwest Transit in 2009 using $3.5 million of reserves to purchase a new bus garage. The Council also added $3 million in estimated discretionary funding for two STPs in 2010; $1.9 million for MVTA and $1.1 million for Southwest Transit. A revised detailed spreadsheet was distributed to the STP Executive Directors on May 18 with all of the above information reflected. The wide range of reserve balance levels among the STDs is shown on the summary of estimated STP reserve balances (Attachment A). These numbers are preliminary and will be updated as budgets and service plans are finalized and funding decisions made. Funding Priorities and Revenue Allocation The Council's adopted 2030 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) calls for the first priority for transportation investments for all modes is the preservation, operation and maintenance of existing systems and facilities. Expansion of the transportation system, including transit, is the next priority following preservation and maintenance. It is important to note that preservation and maintenance of the transit system includes continual service evaluation and adjustment consistent with the regional transit performance standards also adopted in the TPP, While the priority of discretionary funds must be to preserve and maintain the system, the same priorities need to first apply to the base funds all providers receive. For this reason, before the Council can finalize the 2010 discretionary funding to the STPs, the Revenue Allocation policy must be finalized. Revenue allocation is one of the draft policies currently being developed by the Council/STP staff team. Toward that end, I hope you support my request that both Council and STP staff commit to meeting for at least three hours every two weeks until they have a draft policy to present to the Metropolitan Council/STP Policy Committee. Reserve Targets Please note that the Council is not suggesting that the STPs and the Council must have the same reserve target. In fact, the Council has adopted slightly different targets for its Metro Transit and Metropolitan Transportation Service divisions. However, we do believe that reasonable reserve targets must be established for all providers to ensure that limited discretionary funds are wisely distributed. The attached spreadsheet (Attachment B) summarizes existing target policies for all providers. My understanding is that Council and STP staff discussed reserve targets at their August 3 meeting and will continue to do so with the intent to advise the policy committee. Funding Solutions I would request that all providers (including Metro Transit) continue to seek creative options for closing any funding deficits in 2010 and beyond. One option, for example, might be to use federal 5307 formula fiends which each provider earns annually. While these funds are typically used for capital expenditures, federal regulations do allow a certain amount of these funds to be used for operating expenses, specifically preventive maintenance or capital cost of contracting Costs. Page 35 Nancy Tyra -Lukens, Southwest Transit August 5, 2009 Page 3 While the Council can use more of the livable communities and highway right-of-way levies authority granted by the 2008 Legislature toward transit operations, it was agreed with the Legislature that this would be the last resort with the exception of fare increases and service cuts. Balancing transit operating budgets continues to be a challenge for all providers in the region. hope that this information is helpful to the SouthWest Transit Commission. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Arlene McCarthy if you have questions. Finally, I want to acknowledge the participation of Len Simich and Pat Qvale at the Council/STP staff meetings. Their contributions to the discussions and the perspective they bring to the table are appreciated, Sincerely, z��— Thomas H.
