For the second year in a row, Minnetonka residents can order ornamental and shade trees from City Hall at below-market prices. The city's goal is to encourage residents to replace dead trees with a diverse variety of new trees, said natural resources manager Jo Colleran. "We really need our residents to be stewards of the earth, and this is an easy way to be stewards," she said. Hundreds of homeowners have snapped up the $30 trees. During the first two weeks of the sale this month, 398 residents bought 768- trees. Last year, the city sold 1,290. Plymouth, Bloomington, Burnsville, Minneapolis, New Brighton, and Mounds View offer similar sales to encourage residents to replace trees felled by storms, oak wilt, Dutch elm disease or old age. "Everybody likes a deal. If we can give people a deal and that encourages them to plant trees, then everybody wins," said Paul Edwardson, assistant maintenance superintendent in Bloomington. Rick Wriskey, city forester for New Brighton and Mounds View, said tree sales in those communities, have been going on for more than 20 years. First- and second -ring suburbs have mostly mature trees, Wriskey said. "It's nice to get a new crop of trees growing." Burnsville, Plymouth, Bloomington, New Brighton, and Mounds View sell bare root trees and charge residents what the city pays for.them. Minnetonka and Minneapolis deliver the trees in containers. Minnetonka spent $32,000 to buy down the cost of the 1,290 trees it sold last year. Minneapolis has budgeted $100,000 for 1,000 trees, offered to residents at $25 a piece. Minnetonka homeowner Nancy Zinter and duplex owner Sarah Anton bought trees last year and ordered more this spring. Both are refurbishing their yards after removing dead trees and buckthorn. Page 11 i http://www.startribune.com/templates/Print This_Story?sid=15949087 2/28/2008 In Minnetonka in spring, every day is Arbor Day Page 2 of 2 "A lot of times, especially in back yards, people will put their initial landscaping in and they are kind of done," Zinter said. "When you do something like this, it makes people think, 'Gosh, we could have a nice shade tree in the back yard for not so much money."' Minnetonka limits each household to two trees per year. "I would have bought more if I could," Zinter said. Anton bought four trees last year for her duplex and has ordered four more this year. Because the city offers only native varieties that will thrive in Minnetonka soils, she considers it a safe investment. "I know when I go to the tree sale in Minnetonka I am going to get the right stuff," she said. Laurie Blake • 612-673-1711 © 2008. Star Tribune. All rights reserved.

While the baby boomer retirements will affect many industries, local governments fear they will be hit harder because they have an older workforce that can retire earlier. Around Minnesota and the country, officials say they are concerned about replacing the people who run sewer systems, recruit businesses and plan neighborhoods. In Fridley, three of the city's eight managers are planning to retire in about five years. Brooklyn Park will lose four managers in the same time frame. St. Louis Park is expecting 20 to 30 percent of its workforce to retire in the next decade. Across Minnesota, 43 percent of city, county and school district employees are over the age of 50, according to data from the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota. "In the next five years, we will lose some key people," said Brooklyn Park City Manager Doug Reeder, who is retiring in April. National organizations say there aren't enough potential employees waiting to take over leadership roles. 'In 1971, 71 percent of city and county managers were under 40, but in 2006 just 13 percent fell into the under -40 group, according to the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). In an effort to head off an employee shortage, the League of Minnesota Cities has started reaching out to cities to help them plan for the coming retirement wave. "It's one thing if Joe is the go -to person for something, but you always have Stephanie if Joe is gone. But what do you do when both Joe and Stephanie are gone?" said the League's human resources director, Laura Kushner. Finding replacements In Brooklyn Park, the human resources department has a succession plan, aimed at grooming midlevel employees to fill positions vacated when baby boomer retirements start. The city already felt the competition of employee recruitment when it took two years to find a finance director. "We're going to be facing a very severe shortage of candidates down the Page 13 http://www.startribune.com/templates/Print This_Story?sid=16057432 2/28/2008 Graying workforce worries cities Page 2 of 3 road," said Brooklyn Park's human resources director, Jack Montague. The shortage could worsen if more young people don't start pursuing careers in local government now, said an ICMA spokesperson. "The next generation of individuals should be in local government now, training to become a department head," said ICMA's Michele Frisby. "We're afraid those folks aren't in the pipeline." Janet Cherrington, a professor in the urban and regional studies program at Minnesota State University, Mankato said many of her students stumbled into the program without knowing much about the field. "People are not that involved in their local governments anymore," she said. "There just isn't enough knowledge about the need and the phenomenal opportunities that will be opening up in the next five to 10 years." Different values When baby boomers were entering the job market in the 1970s, many were looking to make a difference in their country, and growing suburban communities provided the perfect opportunity. "One of the reasons there is a shortage is because ... younger people ... don't think of local government when they think of making a difference," Frisby said. Breanne Dalnes, Ramsey's 27 -year-old associate planner, agreed with Frisby's conclusion. She became interested in city work after she entered graduate school, but originally she wanted to work in a social service field. "I'm providing a public service in a very traditional way," she said. "I don't think of this as an altruistic service." Another approach to the coming shortage is to persuade baby boom workers to stick it out a little longer. While state rules differ, some local government employees can retire as early as their mid -50s. Along with the League of Minnesota Cities, the Public Employees Retirement Association is hoping to introduce legislation in 2009 that might allow city employees to work part-time without risk to their pensions, said Executive Director Mary Vanek. "It's hard to predict how quickly those people who are becoming eligible to retire will actually leave," she said. One thing is certain: It's a problem cities won't be able to put off forever.

This is the first year that high school students are being asked to express their ideas through essays, posters, video or other media. The deadline for submissions for the high school competition is March 15. Members of the Youth Advisory Council have distributed information about the contest to Plymouth high schools. For guidelines and more information on the contest, please call Kim Olson at 763-509-5053. As in past years, middle school students were invited to compete in an essay contest through their schools. The essay contest is sponsored by the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions. The Youth Council and Human Rights Commission will host an event in April to present awards and cash prizes in both the middle school and high school contests. m w Page 15 F LO M 00 00 O O N O N N cc a- (1) N X m a a U) M a c a� rn c m Q 'a U Page 16 W ❑ z o ❑ ❑ o X.
