delayed until September or next spring, to allow consolidation of the utility trenches. Utility poles
on the west side of Pilgrim Lane and east side of Nathan Lane still need to be relocated along the
north side of 26th Avenue. The sodding should be done within the next week.
Project 509 - Plymouth Creek Channel Improvements - Neumann Enterprise:
The remaining excavation and tree grubbing will be attempted later this month or August. Summer
school nature camps are scheduled at the creek on the following mornings: July 20th, 21st, 26th,
27th, and 28th. We will schedule the construction to avoid disruption of these classes. The spoils
from the excavation will either be hauled from the site or stockpiled for removal next winter when
the ground is frozen.
Project 308 - Dunkirk Lane Street and Utility Improvements - S.M. Hentges:
We have asked the contractor to delay paving of the final wearing course until the church has
repaired their concrete driveway cross gutter. Although the driveway has not been repaired, we have
decided that the final wearing course, pavement marking and miscellaneous work should be started
next week. The completion date for the project was July 1, 1995. Plans for the Dunkirk Court
change order construction should be completed within the next week.
Project 907, Phase 1 - Fernbrook Lane Street and Utility Improvements - Ryan Contracting:
The contractor has completed the punchlist items and the trail. We have asked the contractor to
delay paving of the final wearing course for the roadway until U.S. West has abandoned their
telephone manholes in the roadway. This relocation work by U.S. West was to be completed in June
but has not yet been done. The pavement marking and miscellaneous work should be done as soon
as we are able to pave the final wearing course. The completion date for the project was July 1,
1995.

SUBJECT: EROSION CONTROL STATUS REPORT
To date there have been three $200 fines collected by the City for noncompliance with
the Erosion Control Policy. Additionally, the City ordered silt fence installation on one
development that exceeded $1,500. We have been sending out many letters to
developers who need erosion control corrections on their site. We are requiring the
work be completed within 48 hours or make suitable arrangements with the City to
have the work corrected as soon as possible. We have had very good success to have
problems corrected by developers before City involvement.
The Bassett Creek Watershed conducted erosion control inspections on June 20, 1995.
Of the 61 sites inspected, they found 50 to be in compliance with erosion control
practices and 11 to be in violation. There are numerous other sites outside of Bassett
Creek Watershed that are not mentioned in their report but that we inspect on a regular
basis. The addition of two Erosion Control Interns this summer has aided substantially
with inspections.

Notes from the Meeting
Present: Rebecca Ribich, Laurie Levi, Claudelle Carruthers, Jackie Fraedrich,
Assistant City Manager Kathy Lueckert
Excused: Earl Peterson, Harvey Guttmann, Ginny Clark
Absent: Bill Dix, Lisa Memberr
Guests: Jim McDonough and Elaine Dennett from SHARC
No quorum of the Plymouth Human Rights Commission was present, so no official
business could be transacted.
Rebecca Ribich introduced Jim McDonough and Elaine Dennett from the Suburban
Hennepin Anti -Racism Coalition (SHARC).
Jim McDonough stated the SHARC is affiliated with the Suburban Alliance. SHARC was
formed to look at the issues of diversity and racial composition in the western suburbs.
SHARC realizes that local Human Rights Commissions may be somewhat constrained in
the types of issues they may discuss. SHARC sees itself as able to be more of an advocate
for diversity issues across a broader geographic region. A survey done by SHARC in
1992 showed that communities with Human Rights Commission have a broader
knowledge of human rights issues than do communities without a HRC. SHARC
sponsored a hate crimes conference in 1992, which was attended by over 200 people.
Mr. McDonough spoke about the more recent activities of SHARC. In 1995 a resource
center was opened, and a part time executive director, Fred Tenfingers, was hired. Elaine
Dennett spoke about a project she is working on, which will provide a resource directory
on speakers and trainers on diversity issues. She hopes to have it ready in January 1996.
Mr. McDonough spoke about a fair housing project that SHARC is involved with, in
conjunction with the Legal Aid Society. On referral from Legal Aid, SHARC provides
"testers" to go out in the housing market and uncover discriminatory practices. SHARC
also is interested in holding a series of town hall forums on racism and discrimination, and
would like to see Plymouth involved. Those Plymouth HRC members present expressed
interest in exploring this possibility.
Rebecca Ribich asked if SHARC would be interested in participating with the HRC in the
booth at the Autumn Crafts Fair at Parker's Lake. Mr. McDonough and Ms. Dennett
indicated that they would be very interested.
Mr. McDonough and Ms. Dennett left at 8:30 PM. The remaining HRC members
discussed general issues of concern until 9 PM.
SHARC
Suburban Hennepin Anti -Racism Coalition
9 Seventh Ave. S. Hopkins MN 55343 612.930.3356
The Suburban Hennepin Anti -Racism Coalition (SHARC) is a proactive group of people in suburban
Hennepin County who joined together to work on undoing racism and promoting diversity. Represented on
the coalition are members of human rights commissions, human service agencies, governmental units,
churches, schools, and civil rights organizations as well as concerned individuals.
SHARC was formed in June, 1991 by Suburban Alliance (formally known as West Hennepin Human
Services Planning Board) because they believed that there was a need for an action -orientated forum which
would provide leadership in undoing racism and appreciating diversity in suburban Hennepin.
The Coalition has directed its concern and action toward four primary fields of interest:
1) A__Suburban_Henngpin Anti -Racism_. Diversity_ and Resource Center was established by SHARC in
February of 1995. Funding was provided by Hennepin County, the State Department of Education and Pax
Christi, a local church. The Resource Center is designed to be the central information source for
individuals, schools, local governmental units and community based organizations in need of information. It
provides referral, victim assistance, speakers and trainers, and other services related to constructive
responses to racism and promotion of ethnic and cultural diversity.
The SHARC Resource Center is the first of its kind in Minnesota and represents a pioneering effort in this
area as a model for other communities to follow.
2) Education and Communication efforts, designed to promote diversity and undo racism, have also been
addressed through conducting research, sponsoring conferences and workshops, and publishing a
newsletter.
In May 1992, SHARC sponsored the "HATE CRIMES, DISCRIMINATION, BIGOTRY, RACISM
CONFERENCE: Tackling The Problem On The Front Lines ... Right Here In The Suburbs". More than
225 people, including elected officials, members of human rights commissions, municipal and school
officials and concerned members of the community, attended this day -long conference.
In conjunction with the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions, SHARC conducted and
published the results of a two-phase survey entitled "Minnesota Governments: Human Rights and
Diversity", designed to reveal how Minnesota cities respond to racially motivated incidents in their
communities and what role human rights commissions play in this process. Two reports, a suburban
Hennepin County summary and a statewide survey, were published in May and September of 1992.
SHARC also cosponsored a conference entitled "FAIR HOUSING ISSUES IN THE SUBURBS", in
October, 1992.
a

3) Human Rights ch_- SHARC is an active participant in the human rights community in Suburban
Hennepin County. The Coalition has assisted and supported the creation and re-establishing of three
Human Rights Commissions in 1993, and has strengthened the efforts of those already active commissions.
In February, 1993, SHARC participated in the HUMAN RIGHTS EXPO sponsored by the St. Louis Park
Human Rights Commission, the City of St. Louis Park and Independent School District 283. The Expo
theme of "Do The Right Thing" was affirmed by over 2500 people at the local high school.
4) The Human Rights Advocacv of SHARC monitors legislation, provides oral and written testimony at
hearings, and acts as an advocate on behalf of individuals who are victims of racism. SHARC members
participated in the STATE OF DIVERSITY project conducted by the Minnesota Planning agency. The
reports "State of Diversity" and "State of Diversity: Resources" were published in November, 1993. These
reports have served as the basis for state governmental policy and goals for racial and cultural diversity in
Minnesota. Both reports highlight SHARC and its efforts to establish a Resource Center as significant
contributions to the goal of promoting community based efforts in education, advocacy, and
communications.
SHARC is currently working with Robbinsdale School District 281's Indian Education Parent Committee
in procuring American Indian materials and books that correctly represent American Indians in the districts
curriculum. This project addresses the root problem that exists in most of our educational systems; namely
the lack of adequate and accurate information about other cultures and ethnic groups. The project is
empowering Indian parents to make decisions that affect their children's education and allows for systemic
action toward self -actualization that corrects the way curriculum is set to study people of color. The project
was one of two funded by The Minnesota State Department of Education in 1994.
SHARC is also working in conjunction with ,The Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis on a fair housing
testing program. SHARC has recruited a diverse group of testers including people of color, low income
individuals, and the disabled to test the rental housing market for discrimination. This is another program
solely dependent on the pro -active participation of victims or racism and discrimination that exists in
suburban Hennepin County.
SHARC has struggled as an organization for the past four years and with recent start-up funding from
Hennepin County have been able to establish a resource center. In February of 1995 SHARC incorporated
with The State of Minnesota, hired a half time staff person, developed a board of directors and committees
to guide and govern the direction of SHARC. The coalition's main concern is building and strengthening
the board by involving people who may be disenfranchised and have perceived barriers to participation for
systemic change. SHARC strives to empower individual voices with full and equal participation.

HOUSING DISCRIMINATION LAW PROJECT
Beginning in February, 1995, persons in the Minneapolis -
St. Paul metropolitan area who have encountered discrimination
in seeking, renting, buying, terms and conditions and other
aspects of finding and keeping a home will be able to contact
The Legal Aid Society's Housing Discrimination Law Project
for assessment of their claims under Federal, State and local fair
housing laws. Eligible clients may get free representation from
Project attorneys. Project attorneys will also work with persons
with disabilities throughout Minnesota.
Laws make it illegal to treat a person differently in housing
transactions because of their race, national origin, color,
ancestry, marital status, affectional preference, disability,
religion, creed, familial status, or public assistance status. There
are few exceptions to these laws, but proving such
discrimination can be difficult.
If it can be proven that you were illegally discriminated
against, the defendant in a civil rights case can be required to
allow you to move into the home, pay compensatory and
punitive damages and attorneys fees. Court cases in other parts
of the country have resulted in damage awards to plaintiffs of
over $100,000.
For intake concerning housing discrimination, contact Willy
Ferreira, Tom White or Rich Wayman of the Housing
Discrimination Law Project at 827-3774 or 827-1481 (TDD) .

The 1995 street reconstruction project includes:
• Ranchview Ln. from Gleason Lake Rd. to 7th
Ave. N.;
• The area southwest of the intersection of
Larch Ln. and Schmidt Lake Rd.;
• The area southwest of the intersection of Fern -
brook Ln. and Co. Rd. 9;
• Plymouth Blvd. from Hwy. 55 to 36th Ave.;
and
• The segment of 36th Ave. between Plymouth
Blvd. and Vicksburg Ln.
Work will progress in the order shown above.
The contract for this project has been awarded to
Northwest Asphalt, Inc., of Shakopee. At 1 p.m.
weekly construction meetings will be held on Mon-
days at which property and business owners can
meet with the contractor and the City's field repre-
sentatives to learn more about this project and
have questions answered. Please call Design Engi-
neer Ron Quanbeck at 509-5925 for further infor-
mation about the meetings.
Project Status
This section is a brief description of project pro-
gress. The schedule for construction activities is
the current estimate and may change due to
weather conditions or other unforeseen circum-
stances.
Please mark -any underground facilities near the
curb such as sprinklers heads, sprinkler lines, un-
derground dog fences, etc. so they are not dam-
aged by the construction crews.
Ranchview Ln.
Ranchview Ln. is being reconstructed to the cur-
rent City standard of 33 feet wide with concrete
curb and gutter.
Work on Ranchview Ln. is progressing. Storm
sewer installation will be completed this week. Sub -
cut excavation and backfill along with placement
of the aggregate base should also be completed.
Curb and gutter will be poured on Monday or
Tuesday and take two to three days. Driveways
will not be accessible for 72 hours following curb
installation.
Larch Ln. and Schmidt Lake Rd.
Removal and replacement of curb and gutter be-
gan this week in the area southwest of the intersec-
tion of Larch Ln. and Schmidt Lake Rd. Monday
the contractor will begin grinding the asphalt to
be removed in areas which will be reconstructed.
Subcut excavation of these areas will follow
shortly thereafter. Reconstructed areas are exca-
vated to a depth of 2' 4" below the finished road-
way surface. Drain tile and yard drains are
installed during the subcut excavation.
Fernbrook Ln. and Cty. Rd. 9
Construction in the area southwest of Fernbrook
Ln. and Cty. Rd. 9 will begin at approximately
the same time as Plymouth Blvd. and 36th Ave-
nue. Curb will likely be replaced first with as-
phalt removal and excavation following.
Plymouth Blvd. and 36th Ave.
Construction in this commercial/industrial area
will be done in conjunction with the Fernbrook
area. Curb replacement and installation of catch
basins will likely be the first activity.
Completion
All major work should be finished by Sept. 15,
1995. Ranchview Ln. should be completed by
Aug. 15, 1995.
Driveway/road access
Access to driveways will generally be maintained,
however delays may occur as construction pro-
gresses. A minimum of three days is required for
the concrete to harden before light traffic can use
it. Consequently, when concrete curb and gutter is
installed past your driveway entrance access will
be limited. You will be notified prior to this work
and may park on the street in front of your house
during this time.
Yard drains
The installation of drain tile gives us an opportu-
nity to provide yard drain boxes in certain areas.
The plastic box is installed one foot inside the
right-of-way line. It provides a location for resi-
dents to discharge a sump pump or foundation
drain to the storm sewer system. Such discharges
are prohibited from the sanitary sewer system (e.g.
basement floor drain or laundry tub) by ordi-
nance. If you would like a yard drain installed,
call Ron Quanbeck at 509-5925 or Dan Campbell
at 509-5522.
Street reconstruction.
The Street Reconstruction Project is undertaken
annually in areas of Plymouth which are identi-
fied through a city-wide street evaluation survey.
Reconstruction extends the life of streets by repair-
ing minor defects before they become major. In
some cases, the street may be rebuilt. In other
cases, the street may be resurfaced.
Funding
The City plans to pay for 70% of the total Street
Reconstruction Program. The City's funding
comes from property taxes levied city-wide. Bene-
fiting property owners will be assessed the remain-
ing 30%. During any given year, the actual
percentage may vary because the 30% assessment
rate is based on the overall city-wide reconstruc-
tion program. Property owners on Ranchview Ln.
will also be assessed for the actual cost of new con-
crete curb and gutter installation, street widening,
and storm sewer installation.
Caution
Due to construction, we ask that you drive with
caution. Heavy equipment will be operated in the
area and crews will be working with hot bitumi-
nous at various times. Bituminous may be driven
on one hour after being laid. Please do not allow
children to play on or around construction equip-
ment or excavations.
For more information
If you have questions, please call Design'Engineer
Ron Quanbeck at 509-5925 or Senior Engineering
Technician Dan Campbell at 509-5522.
Thank you for
your cooperation and patience.

TRANSFER MODULE FOR ACCESS.
Plymouth, MN
playground has
equal access
BY MARK PETERSON
SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS,
PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA
Plymouth Creek Park is a 25 -acre play
field that provides athletic activities for
the citizens of Plymouth, Minnesota, a
growing suburb northwest of Minneapo-
lis. Baseball, softball, football, soccer,
archery and ice hockey are some of the
sports accommodated in the spacious
6 PARK/GROUNDS MANAGEMENT 7-8195
setting. However, we wanted the popu-
lar recreation area to also foster family
activities for all users --and this was
something that a well-designed, inclu-
sive playground would do.
The decision to build the new play
area at Plymouth Creek Park was made
T
by the City Council in February, 1993.
Key to the decision was the city's com-
mitment to create an accessible play-
ground that met both the requirements
of ADA and the special needs and inter-
est of community members.
As one of the 29 play fields and parks
managed by the Parks & Recreation
Department, Plymouth Creek was also
anticipated to provide a model for fu-
ture accessible and age-appropriate play
areas. It was hoped that design and
equipment decisions made for Plymouth
Creek would be implemented in future
playgrounds to meet similar needs.
An accessible Playground Committee
was appointed, with members ranging
from city officials to local children and
their parents. Three members were
wheelchair users, including a child and
a world -champion wheelchair racer.
Also a member of the Committee was
Julee Quarve-Peterson, a national expert
on accessibility. As part of her contri-
bution, she conducted a needs assess-
ment for the park system and helped set
goals to insure accessibility for people
with all types of disabilities.
The committee had its first meeting
in March, 1993, when several interest-
ing ideas were proposed:
• To make the playground accessible
not only by disabled children, but
also by disabled adults supervising
children of all abilities.
• To accommodate children with learn-
ing disabilities, sight impairment, and
other disabilities as well as children
in wheelchairs.
• To let children of all abilities play in-
dependently without assistance.
Our number one goal was to meet
ADA accessibility requirements and
CPSC safety guidelines for the acces-
sible playground.
We wanted a playground that would
broaden the park's appeal to citizens of
all ages. We believed that attractive
functional play structures would encour-
age parents to bring the whole family --
not just adults or children who were in-
volved in team sports.
After discussing goals at the initial
committee meeting. We visited acces-
sible playgrounds throughout the Min-
neapolis, SL Paul area to gather ideas.
We then assembled a list of design cri-
teria based on our overall objectives.
Next, we invited four play -equipment
manufacturers and their representatives
to submit drawings in a "design compe-
tition". The results of this competition
were used to develop the specifications
for a formal bid process.
The winning bid came from Land-
scape Structures Inc. and its local rep-
resentative, Earl F. Anderson, Inc. Both
fines have been in the forefront of de-
veloping play stems that meet CPSC,
ASTM and ADA standards, and we felt
very confident in working with them on
the Plymouth Creek Park project.
In keeping with Consumer Product
Safety Commission Guidelines, the
playground was divided into separate
areas for two age groups: school-age
children from 5 to 12 years old, and
preschoolers between the ages of 2 and
5.
We chose a PlayBooster structure for
the main play area. This system uses a
post -and -clamp design, with decks and
play activities arranged to allow continu-
ous movement by large numbers of chil-
dren throughout the structure.
In the PlayBooster structure that Earl
F. Anderson and Landscape Structures
designed forPlymouth Creek Park, there
are two ways for children in wheelchairs
to access the structure. They can pull
themselves out of their chairs and onto
the structure via a transfer module, or
they can roll up the ramp and stay in
their chairs while using a variety of ac-
tivity panels. The latter include games
and other activities that can be enjoyed
by all children --a fact that adds to the
system's cost-effectiveness and pro-
motes inclusive play.
For the younger children's area, we
specified a PlayShaper system. This
structure, which resembles a
PlayBooster system, has developmen-
tally appropriate activities for toddlers
and preschoolers. Like the PlayBooster
structure for older children, it includes
a wheelchair transfer module and a ramp
with safety curbs and guardrails.
Both play structures have features that
let children run, crawl or roll without
help from adults. For example, the
PlayBooster system has a suspension
bridge, a clatterbridge and a rigid hori-
zontal bridge, along with several tunnel
slides. The PlayShaper structure has
crawl tunnels that build gross motor
skills and promote imaginative play.
Decks on both structures are covered by
roofs that create an enclosed feeling and
offer protection against Minnesota's sun,
rain and snow.
To minimize injdries caused by falls,
the PlayBooster and PlayShaper equip-
ment is surrounded by "safety zones" of
= 3b
an impact -absorbing fiber material.
Buffer zones separate the main struc-
tures from swings, horizontal ladders,
spring riders and other independent play
events. Concrete access paths define the
play areas' perimeters and make it easy
for children and adults to maneuver with
strollers or wheelchairs.
Because some of the sports facilities
are still under construction, we have yet
to celebrate the park with an official
opening ceremony. But the playground
is already well used. Parents and child
care providers come with toddlers and
preschoolers, school children take ad-
vantage of both the sports and play fa-
cilities, and more and more family mem-
bers are joining their sports players for
whole family outings.
Plymouth Creek Park has not only met
its individual goal-- to develop a play
area that provides equal opportunities
for all users --but it had also created the
model for other city playgrounds. This
summer our Park and Recreation De-
partment is busy designing and equip-
ping five more accessible play areas in
various City parks, all based on the suc-
cess of our planning and decisions for
Plymouth Creek Park. ■

NORTHWEST HENNEPIN
FAMILY SERVICES COLLABORATIVE
A grass roots initiative: working together to
build healthy communities for families.
HISTORY
In January of 1994, the Northwest Hennepin
;Human Services Council received, on behalf of
the Northwest Hennepin area, a Family Services
Collaborative` Planning Grant from the State of
Minnesota. The purpose of the grant was to
explore strengthening collaboration between
partners of the project and integrating human
services in a way that would enhance service
delivery for families and children in Northwest
Hennepin. The planning process for this
collaborative involved extensive research and
the development of planning teams.
Research conducted in the planning process
involved reviewing local and national
community=based collaborations;/holding focus
groups; evaluating pilot project;,and gathering
current demographics of the Northwest ,
Hennepin area.
Participants in interviews and/or focus groups
were invited to participate on a planning team in
their area. Planning teams were formed in the
Osseo/Maple Grove,'Brooklyn Center, and
Schoc

start-up funds, to be used in addition to support
from the collaborative partners, to implement
strategies generated in the planning process.
WR
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
On June 1, the Family Services Collaborative successfully
held its first Regional Forum, a meeting of all three
planning teams. The Forum was a team -building event
to acknowledge all the work accomplished during the
planning process and to bring teams together to discuss
implementing the Collaborative workplan.
Arthur Himmelman, a consultant on collaboration,
facilitated the discussion and Dionne Trice, a community
activist in South Minneapolis was the keynote speaker.
Certificates of Recognition were distributed to all those
who helped to made the planning phase such a success.
The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was
sorry to lose Joscelyn Gay, the Project Coordinator for the
Family Services Collaborative, in July. Joscelyn moved
back to Colorado to be closer to her family. Kate Welty
replaced her in this position and will continue to work with
Geneva Williams in providing assistance to the planning
teams.
The three teams are currently working to implement the
first goal in the action plan -- increase awareness of
existing programs and outreach services by increasing
the communication and collaboration between
agencies through the following strategies

Metropolitan Council
Mears Park Centre
230 East Fifth Street
St. Paul, MN 55101-1634
Dear Council Members:
The City of Plymouth has a number of concerns regarding the proposed elimination of
funding for Metro Mobility Service in Plymouth and other cities.
First, Metro Mobility is intended to be a state funded service. We are concerned by
the precedent created by any proposal that circumvents this legislative intention.
Current proposals would have the effect of shifting Metro Mobility costs to regional or
local property tax payers.
Second, even though ADA requirements may allow for reduction or elimination of
Metro Mobility service in Plymouth, this does not mean this is an equitable solution.
Our residents pay the -same state, regional, and local taxes as anyone else and need the
same level of service as any other place. Plymouth and a few other cities should not be
singled out for elimination of service simply because it might be legal to do so.
Third, the Metropolitan Council should consider the unintended consequences that
might occur with elimination of Metro -Mobil ty hndwg. Even..if Plymouth could
provide some of the service, which is not ,yetAU;i ,our loca;funding for; transit
,. ..
would be ' so stretched that growth in other ;transit services would �be impossible .
Extension of service for affordable housing • and continuation of our current reverse
commuting routes would certainly be affected. � Our ability to meet our obligations-
under
bligationsunder the Elm Creek Cluster Planning process would be substantially limited.
Finally, if funding for Metro Mobility Service is curtailed or eliminated, it is essential
that Plymouth retain the ability to use all of its 90% funding and to use its reserves
from prior years. We cannot be expected to assume any new obligations without
having the tax dollars we are now paying for transit returned to us.

LAC, --
Please reconsider reconsider the precedent, the fairness, and the unintended consequences of a
major change in funding for Metro Mobility in Plymouth. An across the board review
of the level of Metro Mobility Service would seem to be a more appropriate course of
action. The Metropolitan Council should allow time for the next Legislature to address
the funding problems before drastic changes in service are implemented. Also,
Plymouth had over 3110 Metro Mobility trips in May. We have many businesses such
as Opportunity Workshop and many special residential areas in need of Metro Mobility
services. Considerable study is needed before any vote is taken to eliminate this vital
service.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mayor Joy Tierney

You are Invited to A Public Meeting For an Explanation of the New
City of Plymouth Sump Pump Cross Connection Inspection Program
Please Attend on Thursday, August 3, at 7:00 PM at
Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Each year an excess of 500 million gallons of storm water, incorrectly drained into sanitary
sewers, costs the City of Plymouth an extra $1 million in treatment fees. In order to save money for
all Plymouth residenty, the Plymouth City Council has adopted an ordinance requiring the inspection
of sump pumps.
On Monday, August 7, the City of Plymouth will begin inspecting homes in your neighborhood for
cross connected sump pumps. (Cross connected means sump pumps that are connected to the sanitary sewer
lines instead of the storm sewer lines.) Inspectors from MSA Consulting Engineers will begin by going
house to house, looking at connections in basements to insure that when sump pumps are in place, they are
properly connected. The areas to be inspected are detailed in the map on the reverse of this notice. The
average inspection will take from 10 to 20 minutes, and the City's goal is to complete the first round of
inspections by October 20, 1995.
Hones with no sump pump, or with a correctly connected sump pump, will be issued a "passed
inspection" document. Homeowners who have incorrectly connected sump pumps will be required to
correct the connection and have the installation reinspected within two weeks, before being issued a
°passed inspection" document. Homeowners who do not arrange for inspection, or who do not correct a
cross connection, will incur a monthly surcharge of $100. This will be added to their sewer bill until the
problem is corrected and they have scheduled and passed city inspection. (Copies of the sump pump
connection ordinance may be picked up at Plymouth City Center at any time during business hours, and
will be available at the meeting as well.)
If you are not at home when the inspector arrives, or if it is not convenient for you to allow
inspection at that time, a notice will be left with a number you may call to make an appointment for
inspection. The number, 644-2072, will be equipped with a voice -mail feature so you may leave a
message at any hour of the day or night. Appointments will be scheduled for both weekdays and
Saturdays, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. If you do not call and make an appointment we will call your
home a minimum of three times, at different times of the day, in an attempt .to reach you and schedule an
inspection appointment. That failing, you will be notified by certified letter that inspection must be
scheduled, or the surcharge will be applied.
Please come to the public meeting at Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Blvd,, on Thursday,
August 3, at 7:00 PM, where both City Staff and personnel from MSA Consulting Engineers will be
available to answer your questions and more fully explain the program.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our sewer rates low for everyone.

Information on Sump Pump Inspection and Cross Connection
I'Iic City of Plymouth Sump inspection program is designed to help homeowners identify cross
connected sump pumps, so they can be properly connected, and to alert homeowners who don't have
sump pumps to the ordinance requiring that they be inspected if installed in the future.
What is a cross connection?
—K—
FD' _ 02
A cross connection happens when a sump pump is connected to a sanitary sewer line. Often, this can be a
hose leading into a laundry tub or a floor drain. Sump pumps are supposed to drain into storm sewers,
either through a direct connection (a pipe from the home connecting with the main storm sewer line), or
through draining directly onto the ground or into the gutter outside the home.
Why are cross connections a problem?
Sump water is what engineers call "clear water," most often rain water, ground water or snow melt. This
water is clean enough to drain directly into area streams, ponds and lakes, without treatment.
Wastewater, water from your sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, and washing machines, must be treated at
your area wastewater treatment plant before it can be safely discharged into the environment.
When "clear water" is added to wastewater, it can overload the collection system. The Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPGA) has estimated that a single home with a cross connected sump putilp
can add up to 1,400 gallons of water to the system during one average rain storm. That's the equivalent
of flushing your toilet 280 times (based on a standard toilet with a five gallon tank— if you have a low -
flow toilet with a three gallon tank, you'd have to flush 466 times). Multiply that by the number of
homes in your neighborhood, and the magnitude of the problem becomes evident.
Why should I care?
Excess water in the treatment system costs the city, and you, money. Rates at the treatment plant are
based on the number of gallons that flow through the system. When `clear water" enters the system
through cross connected sump pumps, everyone pays to treat water that is already clean. The
Minnesota pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has calculated the average amount of wastewater that
communities of various sizes produce. According to their estimates, Plymouth sends approximately 500
million gallons of "clear water" through the system annually. Tltis costs the city an extra $1 million
annually in wastewater treatment bills, a cost that is passed to individual consumers through increased
sewer rates. Clearing up the cross connection problem will help keep increases to a minittttlttt.
flow can they tell when storm water gets into the system?
it is not difficult to find out if extra water is entering the system. All homes have water meters that
measure the amount of water that enters. Think of that water as flowing through your home — it enters, is
used (for cooking, washing, cleaning), and then goes down the drain. If the amount of water that reaches
the treatment plant is far in excess of the amount being delivered to homes, then obviously, extra water is
entering the system.
Are cross connections the only cause of this?
No. Water can infiltrate the system through bad joints, cracks, or breaks in the sanitary sewer pipe. This
is not a big problem in Plymouth, because the city regularly inspects the interior of the sanitary sewer
pipe with TV cameras so problems can be found and corrected.
J U L— 1 5— 13 S W ED 10:40 MSA S T PAUL -
How
AUL
How do I know if have a cross connected sump pump?
The illustrations at right and below show one incorrect and one correct method of connection. The key
thing to look for is where the water goes when the sump pump is running. Tryou have a pipe that goes
outdoors, and drains into your yard (well away
from your foundation, of course), you're �--
probably oliay. If you have a hose that drains nee
into your laundry tub or floor drain, you're PRIVATE CONNECTnCN LK
def nicely not okay. If you can see right away TO STOW SEWER

that your sump pump is cross connected, it SEWER
would be to your advantage to get it re-routed D+'

While MSA personnel will be going door to door
to try to get as many homes as possible inspected
without appointments, there will of course be
times when people are not at home to lot thele in.
The inspectors will leave a notice on your door
knob with the number to call for an appointment.
Because a large volume of calls are expected,
voice -mail has been installed on the phone so you
shouldn't have to call more than once. If you
don't reach a person when you call, please do
leave your name, telephone number, address, and
the best time to reach you. We will return calls
during business hours, and in the evenings.
NVIIy Inspect my house?
City staff have checked the sewer system in the selected areas and found excess "clear water."
Wbat will correcting a cross connection cost me?
"The typical correction in an unfinished basement is anticipated to be less than $100 per home owner.

I am enclosing the second quarter Intervention Project report for 1995. Second
quarter arrests and complaint numbers are in line with first quarter 1995 numbers
reported. The number of domestic offense reports (verbal arguments, etc.)
doubled during 2nd quarter 95.
During second quarter two team meetings were held involving Plymouth Police
liaison; city prosecutor, and Home Free. These meetings were very helpful for
general review of the domestic assault arrest and prosecution policies and
perhaps even more importantly to build positive working relationships between
the agencies who respond to perpetrators and victims of domestic abuse.
Thank you for supporting the project, please let me know if you have any
questions.
