Shown below is a table of the average selling price home in Plymouth, and the taxes on that home since 1993: Year Home value 1993 $159,200 1994 $164,800 1995 $171,400 1996 $180,300 1997 $188,100 1998 $194,500 1999 $198,400 2000 $206,300 Total Home Value Increase Percent 3.5% 4.0% 5.2% 4.3% 3.4% 2.0% 4.0% 26.4% City Taxes $444.51 $429.42 $428.95 $431.17 $442.01 $440.34 $468.04 $477.80 Taxes Increase (Decrease) percent (3.4%) (0.1%) +0.5% +2.5% (0.4%) +6.3% +2.1% +7.5% The table clearly indicates that homes have inflated in value by 26.4% over the last 7 years, while the City's taxes have only increased by 7.5%. The majority of the increase in the taxes for 1999 was the direct result of a voter approved referendum for an activity Center/Field House bond sale and operating costs.

This position became vacant due to a resignation; therefore, the person selected will complete a term that expires 1/2001.

After receipt by the Secretary of State, the applications are forwarded to the Metropolitan Council. Applicants will be asked to appear for an interview at a public meeting conducted by a Metropolitan Council appointments committee. The public meeting will be held in mid- February. The Metropolitan Council will also notify legislators in the affected district of the names and backgrounds of the applicants and solicit their recommendations.

Approve Minutes and Agenda Motion was made by Commissioner Wheeler, and seconded by Commissioner Ruffin, to approve the minutes and the amended agenda. With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. Fire and Ice Volunteers Commissioner Wheeler distributed a sign-up sheet for the Human Rights Commission to volunteer for the Fire and Ice Festival on February 5 at Parkers Lake. She reminded the HRC that this is an opportunity for the Commission to be visible in the community. Hate Crime/Bias Report It was reported that Commissioner Mitzi Heath has been contacted by a family who has experienced ongoing racial problems. They moved to Plymouth from north Minneapolis, and the son has had discipline problems and a suspension pending at Maple Grove High School. Commissioner Lisa Hunter, liaison to School District 279, volunteered to assist Mitzi in determining the status of this action and whether the HRC could assist the family in any way. Minutes December 2, 1999 Page 2 Essay Contest Commissioner Joan Jensen reported on the status of the second annual middle -school essay contest. Her focus again is on schools in the Wayzata 284 School District, since human rights commissions in other cities are covering the other school districts. Make a Difference Day Commissioner Becky Wheeler provided a report on Make a Difference Day. This was a very successful event, as evidenced by the number of agencies and individuals that were helped with significant contributions. Becky has ideas to expand the project for 2000, and it will only get bigger and better. The HRC applauded Becky for the effort and hours she has contributed to make this project such a success. Councilmember Brad Brown also recognized Becky for her significant efforts on this project. Report on Regional Human Rights Meeting Commissioner Claudelle Carruthers reported on the Regional Human Rights Commission meeting held in September. She will attend the next meeting on December 7 at Crystal Community Center. Holy Days to Avoid for Public Meetings Commissioner Joan Jensen submitted the final report to the City Council on holy days to avoid when scheduling public meetings. Motion was made by Commissioner Ruffin, seconded by Commissioner Carruthers, to approve the final report and direct staff to submit it to the City Council. Motion carried unanimously. Joan Jensen and Patricia Izek were thanked for their work on this project. Kathryn Hume Assistant City Manager updated the Commission on the request of Kathryn Hume to be allowed to operate an ATV on the City trails. The City Council denied her request, but offered several alternatives that may be safer for her and for other drivers and pedestrians. The Public Safety Director continues to work with Ms. Hume on these options. Curriculum for Day Care Providers Chairperson Ruth Ruffin presented a request from Marion Helland of the Golden Valley HRC and the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions that the HRC send a letter to the Minneapolis Children and Family Services Education Committee supporting continued cultural curriculum for day care providers. The HRC was uncomfortable endorsing this program without some study. Commissioner Jackie Fraedrich volunteered to convene an HRC subcommittee (Heath, Carruthers, Fraedrich, Hunter) to review the proposed curriculum and the request. The Commission authorized this subcommittee to send a letter on behalf of the HRC in support of the curriculum if they determine it is appropriate. 2000 Work Plan Jackie Fraedrich reported on the status of the proposed Hosterman Middle School closing in School District 281. The HRC discussed possible participation on the task force to discuss the transitions in student populations. It was also suggested that the upcoming student workshop Minutes December 2, 1999 Page 3 could focus on students of color moving into largely white schools, and similar transitions. Councilmember Brad Brown also presented suggestions for the 2000 work plan. Motion was made by Commissioner Fraedrich, seconded by Commissioner Ruffin, to approve the 2000 work plan ideas (staff will compile the ideas for final review at the January meeting). The work plan will be forwarded to the City Council for approval. Brooklyn Park Human Relations Committee Commissioner Hunter reported that she had attended the Brooklyn Park Human Relations Committee to share information. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m. (1-3a) DATE: December 29, 1999 TO: Anne Hurlburt, Dale Hahn, Eric Blank, Craig Gerdes, Fred Moore FROM: Laurie Ahrens, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Days to avoid when scheduling public meetings Attached is a report from the Human Rights Commission which was provided to the City Council on days to avoid when scheduling public meetings. Please provide a copy of this to your staff members who are liaisons to City boards and commissions. The City Council asked the Human Rights Commission to provide this report after an initial public meeting on the Comprehensive Plan was inadvertently scheduled on a Jewish holy day earlier in 1999. The Commission has provided an extensive list of holy days and noted that it would not be possible to conduct City business if holy days for all religions were avoided. The Human Rights Commission has also provided a one-page summary of the major holy days from seven religions. It is recommended that these dates be avoided whenever possible. In addition, the Commission recommends that the City consider every public meeting scheduled on a holy day with regard to whether citizens have alternative means of input such as letters, phone calls, and e-mail. If it is not possible for citizens to have equal input into the process without being at the meeting (as was primarily the case in the Comprehensive Plan meeting due to the information -gathering, informal nature of the session), then the date should be avoided. cc: Dwight Johnson, City Manager MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: December 29, 1999 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Joan Jensen, Ward 2 Commissioner Plymouth Human Rights Commission SUBJECT: Report on Holy Days for Meeting Scheduling Purposes As requested, the Human Rights Commission submits the following summary of religious holy days for the use of the Plymouth City Council and staff in scheduling public meetings. The first page is a brief list of Holy Days from seven major religions. These are days that we would recommend the City Council avoid scheduling meetings requiring citizen input, particularly meetings in which a citizen would have no further opportunity to voice input. The second and longest section is a summary of Holy Days observed by various religions. These are days on which it would be respectful to avoid scheduling public meetings; however, it would be impractical to avoid every Holy Day, Feast Day, or Sabbath during the year and still be able to conduct city business. This information is submitted for the sake of context and completeness. Finally, we want to acknowledge that there are other religious groups which were not included in this search, such as Zorastrianism, Jainism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Taoism, Rastafarian, Wiccan and others. That information can be made available upon request. It is not our intent to exclude any group. We hope this information is useful to the City Council. Please contact us if you have questions regarding this material. Thank you for calling on us to research and share this information. c U) 0 LZ �- N N L U L E 0 Q a) ONS N p II ~ �' (� L > O In (D (n N 00 CO 00 -- a) -C N �- E Q) cB >, Z �- O N ti V N .. .. 0 >, NO ` .` > CO O(D O a) a) N �QZ 0 (U a) E �ZLL.

Lew 2040 Kimberly Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: SNOWPLOWING Dear Ms. Lew: I am responding to your letter of December 17, 1999 concerning snowplowing on Kimberly Lane adjacent to your house. That letter referred that the cul-de-sac to which your driveway exits was missed several times last year. I have made the Street Supervisor aware of your letter concerning the plowing last year. He will call this to the attention of the contractor plowing the cul-de-sacs and also bring it to the attention of the City employee in this plowing district. In order that you could report a miss to me if it happens again this year, let me explain the snowplowing operation on Kimberly Lane and Kimberly Court: 1. The City contracts with owners of pickup trucks to plow the cul-de-sac turnaround. This would apply to the one where you live on the end of Kimberly Lane, the one north of your home, and the one on the end of Kimberly Court. 2. A larger City truck plows Kimberly Lane and Kimberly Court with the exception of the three turn -around areas. Generally the City vehicle would plow the main street before the cul-de-sac turn-arounds are cleaned. It appears that what happened last year when the cul-de-sac plower came to do their work they only did two of the cul-de-sacs and not the partial cul-de-sac by your house. The City's policy on plowing city streets and cul-de-sacs is that we plow all streets and cul-de-sacs within the city after receiving a two and a half inch snowfall. The snowplowing on all of these streets should be completed approximately 12 hours after the end of this type of snow event. If you notice this year that the other two cul-de-sacs have been cleared and your cul-de-sac has not been cleared, I request that you call me directly as soon as possible. My direct phone number is 509-5501 and there is voicemail which I R:\pw\Engineering\GENERAL\P W KS\LTRS\Lew_Plowing_I2_27AM PLYMOUTH A Beautijuf Pface To Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (612) 509-5000 www.d.plymouth.mmus Sheron L.

I checked about 2:00 p.m. today and your cul-de-sac had been plowed. This is the first time this snow season we have plowed cul-de-sacs in the City.

Public \Vjrks Director 3400 P l\ motali Blvd. Pl%inouth,'MN 55447 Dear N[r. Moore: D,:,:elaber has arri% k�d ar.2 �:no%w is not far behind. As a resident %"ho relocated fro,n Fort `'V"1%r:. Indiana in June 1998, snow renio%at is far superior to that of Fort Wayne. However, I «as eery disappointed with how the snowplow crew plowed the str..ts in the Shores of Kraetz Lake subdivision last winter. There are three cul-de-sacs and a road leading to the honies. The snowplow came in and plowed Kimberly Lane from 2000-2040, turn left and plowed the cut -de - sac with 2065-2080 and then continued onto Kimberly Court to plow. The snowplow missed the cul-de-sac for 2040.'2050/2060. This happened every time it snowed last winter. How do I know? I am at-home and I saw the driver miss this cul-de-sac. At first, I tl:oii«ht lie would come back to plow but he left after plowing Kimb.rly Court. That prompted me to call Public Works and strongly request that your crew come back to plow the part that was missed. My neighbor at 2060 and I got stuck every time we backed out leave our garages. I fully expect more complete snow removal this coming winter as there are now four morning school buses (three, Wayzata and one, Breck) and three afternoon school buses (two, Wayzata and one, Breck) that come t•-'.) his cul-de-sac to turn around daily. It is also very inconvenient for us at 2040/2:=x'2060 to leave our homes if Pubiic Woiks provides uicc.�.:p! is 1:1�,` ir:�. I expect an explanation of how Public Works plans to rectify this unfortunate situation. Than; you for your prompt and immediate attention to this very important winter problem. Sincerely, Sheron L.
