FOR YOUR INFORMATION.....
1. LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE TRUST (LMCIT)
PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE DIVIDEND -- We have just
received a check in the amount of $42,457 from the LMCIT
representing the City's 1991 dividend. This is the fifth
consecutive dividend which the LMCIT has distributed to
its members. Distributions are made based upon the
individual member city's gross premiums with the LMCIT,
losses of that city, resulting in a distribution formula
which rewards lower loss claims.
2. PLYMOUTH SUN -SAILOR ARTICLE CONCERNING SENIOR HOUSING OF
DECEMBER 18, 1991 -- Attached is a memorandum from Chuck
Dillerud concerning the December 18 article appearing in
the Sun -Sailor on the Plymouth Senior Housing. A
misquote appears in the article of significant impact.
Chuck's memo provides an explanation of the error. The
paper will print a correction in its next newspaper. (I-
2)
3. NEW POST OFFICE MEETING -- Thursday morning,
Councilmember Vasiliou and I, along with about a dozen
other business persons met with postal representatives to
discuss the services to be provided at the new Lost Lake
Postal Station. The meeting was convened by Larry
Dowell, President of the TwinWest Chamber. Representing
the Post Office were William Brown, Field Division
General Manager; Lee Bullock, Director of City
Operations; and Larry Cruse, Manager of Support Services.
The meeting was a follow-up due to earlier concerns with
regard to the lack of window service at the new postal
facility. Mr. Brown and his associates indicated some
willingness to compromise on the question of services to
be provided, at least to business customers. While no
service window is proposed, they did indicate a
willingness to accept various types of business mail,
including presorted registered and COD, as well as add
postage to postage meters. They will also provide to
those attending a list of services which would not be
provided at this station, as well as agreed to conduct a
meeting in the future prior to the opening of the
facility with the station manager. The Lost Lake
Station, currently under construction, is expected to
open in late July or August next year.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: December 20, 1991
TO: Jim W' li City Manager
FROM: Chu k D' d, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: PL TH SUN -SAILOR ARTICLE CONCERNING SENIOR HOUSING OF DECEMBER
18, 1991
I have attached a copy of the article appearing in the December 18th Sun -
Sailor concerning the senior housing discussions currently underway in
Plymouth. Jay Maxwell of the Sun -Sailor called me yesterday (before we had
received this week's addition of the paper) to inform me that there was a
typographical error in the article that I should be aware of since it
significantly changes the meaning of the sentence in which the error is
located.
The specific error is in the second to the last paragraph of the article on
page 6A of the December 18, 1991 Sun -Sailor. I am quoted as saying "if there
is anything we want to stress is that it is a done deal,". There are really
two words missing from that sentence. The key word is "not", which should
appear between the words "is" and "a". I think also the word "it" should be
between the words "stress" and "is".
Jay clearly recognized the typographical mistake of not including the word
"not" in the proper location prior to the papers even hitting the "street".
He has apologized to me for the error and has indicated that a correction will
appear in next week's newspapers. You may wish to advise the Council of this
matter via the Information Packet.

_FINANCIAL PLAN TO COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
NOVEMBER 29, 1991
INTRODUCTION
This report is intended to discuss the financial condition of Independent School District
284, Wayzata, Minnesota, with special focus on the operating funds deficit, the background
leading to the deficit, and the plan to remedy the deficit and restore the operating funds
to an annual balance and a solvent condition.
This report consists of three sections:
Section I: Background
Section II: Causes of Financial Decline
Section III: The Recovery Plan
Upon formal adoption by the School Board this report will be submitted to the State
Commissioner of Education in compliance with Minnesota Statutes. The adopted report will
also be distributed as all other School District public documents are, on request, or will
be directed as deemed appropriate and in the best interest of the School District.
SECTION I: BACKGROUND
School District 284, Wayzata, ended the 1989-90 fiscal year
with three of the four operating
funds in deficit condition. The general
fund had a $1.4 million deficit, food
service fund
a $59,848 deficit, transportation fund a $283,490 deficit
and the community
service fund
had a 5284,410 positive balance. The
four operating funds
combined showed an overall
deficit of $1.5 million on June 30, 1990.
The District had estimated a larger deficit for the close
of 1990-91 in both
the general
fund and the transportation fund, but the
food service fund
was expected to end
1990-91 with
a restored positive balance.
The following display covers a tracking
of the operating
funds financial activities and
conditions for the period 1987-88 through 1990-91.

- FINANCIAL REPORT TO CONS %IONER OF EDUCATION
NOVE MER 29, 1991 PAGE 3
SECTION II• CAUSES OF FINANCIAL DECLINE
The operating funds tracking display in the preceding section shows a dramatic fund
condition decline of about $8 million over a four-year period 1987-88 through 1990-91. That
decline represents about 22% of the actual revenue level for 1990-91.
It is fair to say that there have been numerous contributing causes which led to this
extremely adverse financial condition. The major causes were:
GENERAL FUND
(1) Financial management, including forecasting and budget monitoring were
inadequate
(2) An extra tax levy authority approved by voters in 1987 proved to be inadequate
given the program and service levels offered
(3) Operating costs for three new elementary school buildings were underestimated
(4) Revenue yield increases on the 1987 extra levy - because of anticipated
property tax capacity growth - were overestimated
(5) over S3/4 million in property tax delinquencies were incurred in 1989-90 and
delinquencies have become a growing and cumulative revenue problem since the
1988-89 fiscal year
TRANSPORTATION FUND
{1) A change from four tier to three tier bus scheduling in 1989-90 resulted in
adding buses to the regular transportation contract and significantly
increasing costs
(2) Senior high school zero hour program transportation services were added
(3) The regular transportation contract rates were increased by 18% in 1988-89
(4) Employees were hired as assistants to serve as disciplinarians on 17 selected
bus routes
(5) Increased levels of service including more frequent bus stops and added routes
were implemented in response to parental requests
(6) Fund equity transfers of $200,000 were made to the general fund in each 1988-89
and 1989-90
SECTION III• THE RECOVERY PLAN
Since this report is being prepared after the close of fiscal year 1990-91, the recovery
plan is based on a fund condition tracking which includes actual financial data as of July
1, 1991. However, for purposes of continuity from Section I of this report the fund
tracking will start with the actual fund conditions as of July 1, 1990.
As shown in the tracking display below the general fund condition has declined from
$1,427,308 deficit to $5,003,149 deficit during the 1990-91 fiscal year. The food service
fund has recovered from a deficit balance of $59,848 to a positive balance of $60,332 during
1990-91. The transportation fund has declined from $283,490 deficit to $1,246,145 deficit
during 1990-91.
CIM Dt� 2u y1
FINANCIAL PLAN TO CONUMaSSIONER OF EDUCATION
NOVEMMER 29, 1991 PAGE 4
SECTION III: THE RECOVERY PLAN - continued
Further, the tracking display shows the general fund declining even further in 1991-92 to
a low point of about $8.4 million even though an expenditure cut of $1.8 million has been
implemented on July 1, 1991. The transportation fund will decline to about $1.5 million
deficit in 1991-92 even though the expenditure budget has been cut by over $400,000 from
1990-91.
Clearly, the financial condition decline of both the general and transportation finds ^as
been severe and extremely difficult to slow and correct in the short term. Programming of
services has been very aggressive compared with funding ability. This aggressiveness cn
the expenditure side of the budget has been fostered by inadequate estimating which resulted
in grossly understated budgeting and optimistic fund condition.
Recovery of the general fund condition will be accomplished by new revenue approved in the
November 5, 1991, levy referendum election and by expenditure cuts of $3 million in the
1992-93 and additional $1/2 million in 1993-94. The combination of $2 1/2 million in new
revenue and $3 1!2 million in additional expenditure cuts will restore a positive fund
balance by July 1, 1996.
Recovery of the transportation fund condition will be accomplished by a transfer of property
sale proceeds equity from the capital fund on June 30, 1992, and by negotiat-ng a new
contract for 1992-93 on a more cost effective service plan design.

PLYMOUTH FORUM
DECEMBER 16, 1991
Bob Hammond, 14432 15th Avenue North, addressed
the Council regarding two utility bills he
receives for 14430 and 14432 15th Avenue North.
He realized this year that only one meter
services the duplex. He has now installed a
second meter to allow separate billings. Mr.
Hammond stated he has received an explanation of
the situation from the City Manager and Finance
Department; however, he asked that the Council
consider reimbursement from 1972 when he
purchased the property since only one meter was
installed.
Councilmember Helliwell asked for a clarification
of the bills.
Mr. Hammond stated he pays for actual water use
and the duplex renter pays an average bill each
month.
Councilmember Ricker stated every duplex owner
received written notice from the City giving the
option of staying with one meter or installing a
second meter. He cautioned the Council that
there are other meters in the City in the same
situation, as well as many that have converted
from one to two meters over the last twenty
years. In some cases the option to install a
second meter was expensive and owners chose to
stay with a single meter. Most owners installed
the second meter.
Mayor Bergman stated the Council will consider
this matter and advise Mr. Hammond of their
decision.

CHARTER Commission
SPECIAL MEETING
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1991
I. Call to Order. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a
special meeting of the Plymouth Charter Commission was held on
Monday, November 18, 1991 in the conference room of the
Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, Plymouth,
Minnesota. The meeting was called to order by the Chair at
7:05 p.m.
II. Roll Call. Upon roll call, the following members were
present: Tierney, Bobra, Pribble, Speck, Singer, Crain, Ford,
Schneider, Duntley, Patterson, Peterson, Bujold and Wirth.
The following member was absent: Foley. Also present was
Frank Boyles, Assistant City Manager.
The Chair announced that the Commission attorney would be
arriving at approximately 7:45. Moved by Tierney, seconded by
Patterson that Singer be directed to record the meeting.
Motion carried.
III. Approval of Minutes. Moved by Duntley, seconded by Schneider,
that the minutes of the September 23, 1991 special meeting of
the Commission be approved as presented. Motion carried.
IV. Continued Discussion of Identified Issues.
a. Odd -even year election. There was a brief discussion of
the pros and cons of even and odd year municipal
elections with particular reference to voter turnout.
The Chair raised a question about the procedure for
changing election date with or without a charter. It was
agreed by consensus to refer the matter to the attorney.
b. Initiative, referendum and recall (IRR). Schneider
pointed out that the Commission had not yet fully
discussed this matter or taken a straw vote on it. An
extended discussion ensued covering the following points:
the relative ease or difficulty in getting matters
on a ballot under IR;
the relationship of odd or even year elections to
the need for IR;
the desirable number of votes needed to require
submission of a measure to IR;
pPL OO -112 1 CIM DEL 2 U 'y 1
the need to confine IR to broad city-wide issues of
substantial importance;
- the effect of the accountability of IR or the
responsiveness and responsibility of members of the
elective body;
the desirability of allowing fundamental financial
decisions (i.e., budget) to be subject to IR;
the consistency of the concept of IR with the
notion of representative government.
Moved by Schneider, seconded by Crain, that IR (excluding
the recall for the moment) be considered favorably by the
Commission on the assumption that the concept is not
compelling enough to be the sole reason for recommending
adoption of a charter. Motion carried without dissent.
(Mr. Kennedy arrived at 7:40 p.m.)
A discussion then ensued abut the recall. Kennedy
explained the status of the recall in light_ of the case
of Jacobson v. Nagel holding that recall was only
available in the case of malfeasance or misfeasance in
office, and thus has lost its intended value as a
political device. Pribble stated that the charter could
specify conduct that would be the subject of recall.
Kennedy pointed out that those grounds could be specified
as reasons for the creation of a vacancy or removal from
office, and that the recall petition and election would
not then be necessary.
The discussion of IR continued, focusing generally on the
scope of IR. Kennedy pointed out that regardless of what
a charter might say, the courts have ruled that only
legislative matters (i.e., general laws (ordinances)
affecting public activity) are subject to IR, and that
administrative matters are not. Duntley pointed out that
because of this, IR is rather limited in scope. Others
pointed out that it may not be good public policy to have
matters such as e.g., budgets, taxation, land use
regulations subject to being overturned by a vocal
minority and that the normal elective process gives
citizens an adequate voice in such matters.
C. Strong -mayor form of government. The Chair pointed out
that this discussion item has been raised by Foley and
that it should be dealt with. The discussion that
followed developed into a general discussion of forms_ of
municipal government, i.e., strong mayor and weak mayor
council, council manager, city administrator forms and
the pros and cons of each.
DJlC26255
c'm utC 20'91 PL100-112 2
_L F_ �
Moved by Bujold, seconded by Peterson that the Commission
favor the weak -mayor council form of government. After
some discussion, Bujold modified the motion to provide
that the Commission favor the council-manager form of
government, seconded again by Peterson.
Moved by Werth, seconded by Bobra that the Bujold motion
be amended to provide for a mayor who is elected by the
council from the members of the council. After
discussion, the motion to amend was defeated with one
vote in favor.
Discussion of the main motion continued focussing on the
historical progression of municipalities from
incorporated towns to statutory cities to charter cities.
Several members pointed out that the change in form
appeared to be directly related to population: other
pointed out that there have been few new charters adopted
in the past 30 years even though the population of many
suburban statutory cities has grown substantially. There
was general agreement that whether or not a charter was
adopted, the council-manager form of government seemed
best suited for Plymouth.
The vote on the main Bujold motion recurred, and the
motion was passed with one opposed.
A general discussion on the pros and cons of charter
adoption followed.
VII. Other Business.
a. Target date. The Chair asked the Commission to focus on
a target date for a "go -no go" decision on remanding a
charter pointing out the previous recommendation for a
February target date. Some members expressed doubt that
the Commission would have adequate information at that
point. Others viewed the suggested target date as a
deadline and expressed dissatisfaction with working under
a deadline. Others felt that it was not possible, if a
charter is recommended, to have it ready for the
November, 1992 election. Kennedy pointed out that as a
practical matter, a completed draft charter would have to
be ready by the end of July to meet the November, 1992
date.
Motion by Duntley, seconded by Singer, that the regular
meeting in February be the target date for making a
recommendation on whether or not to recommend adopting a
charter. After a general discussion and consensus that
the February and November, 1992 dates were goals only and
that the Commission would make its recommendation only
when fully prepared to do so, the motion carried without
dissent.

b. Form of public meeting. A discussion ensued about the
format, participants and content of the public
informational meeting tentatively scheduled for January,
1992. Moved by Patterson, seconded by Pribble that the
panel for the January meeting and the public be invited.
Carried without dissent.
c. City council liaison. A discussion ensued about the need
for a representative of the city (council or staff) to
act as liaison with the Commission. Moved by Schneider,
seconded by Duntley, that the city manager be asked to
act as liaison between the city council and the
Commission. Motion carried.
d. Budget and staffing. The Chair reported that the city
council's question about the Commission's budget request
had apparently been answered and that the request will be
contained in the city budget when adopted. Moved by
Tierney, seconded by Bujold that the budget for 1991 and
1992, as prepared and submitted to the city by the city
manager, be adopted by the Commission. Motion carried
without dissent.
There being no other business to come before the Commission,
the Commission adjourned at 9:42 p.m.
Respectfully submitted

REGULAR MEETING
MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1991
I. Call to Order. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a
regular meeting of the Charter Commission of the City of
Plymouth, Minnesota, was held on Monday, December 9, 1991 in
the conference room of the Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth
Boulevard, Plymouth, Minnesota. The meeting was called to
order by the temporary Chair at 7:00 p.m.
II. Roll Call. Upon roll call, the following members were
present: Singer, Ford, Tierney, Milner, Duntley, Speck,
Werth, Foley, Peterson and Schneider. The following were
absent: Bobra, Crain, Patterson, Pribble and Bujold. The
Chair announced that member Crain had called in advance about
the absence. (Member Bobra announced at 7:10 p.m. Member
Pribble announced at 7:13 p.m.)
III. Discussion of January 13, 1992 Public Meeting. The Chair
reported that preliminary contacts had been made with Stanley
Peskar of the League of Cities, Desyl Peterson, Minnetonka
city attorney, and Larry Bakken, Mayor of Golden Valley, to
appear at the public meeting and that each had agreed to do
SO. There was general agreement that these three persons
would be suitable presenters.
A discussion ensued about possible additional presenters.
Werth stated the need for persons with practical experience,
preferably from cities that had recently adopted new charters,
and moved that additional persons be sought for the panel with
those qualifications. Seconded by Foley. Carried, with
Duntley voting no.
A discussion of other persons then ensued. Names mentioned
were: Floyd Olson, Minneapolis City Attorney's office; Curtis
Pearson, Brooklyn Park City Attorney; Jack Irving,
Councilmember Crystal; John Elam, City Administrator, Maple
Grove. There were also suggestions that persons from
Richfield and Coon Rapids be contacted. Schneider moved,
seconded by Foley, that a fourth name from the persons named
from Crystal, Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park be asked. Motion
carried. Moved by Schneider, seconded by Foley that the named
persons be contacted in the following order: Irving, Elam,
Perkins. Carried. Moved by Schneider, seconded by Foley,
that the Chair could, in the Chair's discretion, select
Pion -112 1 CIM Ute 20'91
additional persons to participate if the program would be
enhanced thereby. Motion carried.
The discussion then shifted to the meeting format. The
following points were agreed to by concensus:
- Formal presentations should be limited to five minutes.
- The Commission attorney should make a brief presentation
on terminology, forms of government, charter v.
statutory, etc. to lay groundwork for the discussion.
- Presentations should not be theoretical but practical,
based on experience.
- Stan Peskar should be asked to specifically address (i)
why so few charters adopted recently; (ii) what charters
have been adopted in response to single issues; (iii) how
the state legislature views the home rule process.
The invitation to presenters should describe where the
Commission is in the decision making process (i.e.,
"charter or no charter") and discuss briefly the
Commission's tentative decisions thus far.
All members should be prepared to ask questions to
stimulate discussion.
Members of the public should be discouraged from
questioning Commission members on their positions.
The meeting should be presided over by the Chair. (On
that points moved by Foley, seconded by Bobra, that
Tierney preside whether or not she held office of Chair.
Motion carried.)
The whole affair should be as informal as possible to
stimulate the free flow of ideas.
The Chair pointed out that the city staff had arranged for
publicity of the meeting on cablecast, city newsletter and
elsewhere.
V. Continued Discussion of Issues. No discussion.
VI. Annual Meeting. The attorney pointed out that the by-laws set
the annual meeting for January and that the only item of
business was election of officers. The Chair announced that
the annual meeting would immediately precede the public
meeting and urged members to come prepared to nominate
candidates.
VII. Other Business. The attorney pointed out that the statutes
requires an annual report of the Commission must be submitted

The 1992 Fire and Ice Festival is Saturday, February 1. Mary told the
Commission she would have a bonfire sign-up sheet available at the
January meeting. She informed the new members that traditionally, the
Park Commission has been in charge of the bonfire and handing out the
fixings for s'mores.
4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
a. The City Council adopted the 1992 budget with an overall increase of
three percent. They allowed for one new park maintenance employee,
after further council approval.
b. The Council rescinded the $5 non-resident fee charged to youth
athletic associations effective January 1, 1992, and they agreed to
maintain the fees charged for tournament rental at the same rate as
1991.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
There was no unfinished business to discuss.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Review draft of sidewalk and trail plan. Director Blank briefly
described that this issue came up as a result of a letter Chair Freels
wrote to the City Council regarding the unsafe conditions along
Plymouth Boulevard for pedestrians and bikers. Chair Freels felt that
some type of sidewalk or trail was necessary from Highway 55 to County
Ulm uta 20.91
December 1991 PRAC Minutes
Page 42
Road 9, because of the many curves and blind spots along Plymouth
Boulevard. The Council referred the issue back to PRAC, who
recommended that some type of study be done. The firm of Strgar-
Roscoe-Fausch was hired to conduct that study. Their representative,
Jeff Bednar, was present to share Strgar's preliminary findings with
the Commission. Mr. Bednar displayed several maps and explained what
each one depicted. Map 1 showed the locations of all Plymouth's
current parks and trails, natural areas, schools, commercial and
retail development, which are known to be traffic generators, or
places where people will walk or bike. Map 2 showed where all known
pedestrian/bicycle accidents have occurred throughout the city since
July 1990, along with the type of traffic control (lights, stop signs,
marked crosswalks, etc.) used at those locations. Map 3 was the
current sidewalk/trail system plan, map 4 showed the existing
pedestrian/bicycle trails, and map 5 was a pedestrian/bicycle trails
priority/needs assessment based on areas where there is high traffic
volume and high use by pedestrians and bicyclists.
Commissioners Johnson and Wahl pointed out two additional places they
feel are very dangerous and should be included in the needs
assessment. One is 26th Avenue west of Medicine Lake over to
Northwest Boulevard/County Road 61, and the other is County Road 10/47
east and west of I-494. Mr. Bednar commented that traffic counts in
these areas might be appropriate.
Other issues which need to be addressed include where pedestrian
crosswalks might be needed, what areas would best be served by
sidewalks instead of trails, if there are places where sidewalks
should be on both sides of the street and which, if any, locations
would be eligible for state aid funds.
Mr. Bednar indicated there are publications available through the
Minnesota Dept. of Transportation such as a bikeway design manual and
a guideline for determining where crosswalks should be marked and/or
signaled. He also indicated there might be bikeway grants available
through MNDot.
Commissioner Johnson asked if trail proposed in the area of the new
10th Avenue park would be eligible for CDBG funds. Director Blank
said he didn't know if trails qualified, but he would check into it.
The trail/sidewalk plan will continue to be discussed at future
meetings. Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch has a contract for 250 hours to
complete Phase I. Phase II includes researching sources of funding .
7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION
Chairman Freels announced that he was resigning from the Commission
effective December 31, because he and his wife have built a home in Ft.
Myers, Florida, where they will be residing six months out of the year.
He thanked staff and the other commissioners for all their help and hard
work since he became a member of the Commission and indicated he would be
happy to help in any way during the months that he lives in Plymouth.

8. STAFF COMMUNICATION
The two large snow storms in November greatly affected the construction of
the new playfields. The Bass Lake shelter building is 85-90% completed
and the Parkers Lake building is 65-70% finished. The Parkers Lake picnic
shelter is about 80-85% done. The trails, tennis courts and playgrounds
at both facilities should be ready for use in the spring.
Five of the six trail segments have been finished. The two new bridges at
Fazendin and Four Seasons parks will be completed in the spring. The
irrigation system at Ridgemount was underway, but will have to wait now
until spring.
The lights at the Parkers Lake skating rink are installed, but actual work
on the rink itself is being delayed until the ice is thicker. Other
skating rinks are scheduled to open Saturday, December 21.
Director Blank indicated that he would not be available for the January 9
PRAC meeting and asked if it could be postponed until January 16. That
date was agreed upon unanimously.

Counsel:
1. Mr. Pearson referred to a meeting with Mr. Joynes and Mr. Odland of the City of Golden Valley on
October 21 regarding the Golden Valley Golf Club and Westbrooke Road. Mr. Kremer and Mr.
Odland will be getting together regarding securing the right-of-way. The City of Golden Valley has
to decide if it is reasonable to pay for all or a portion of the riprapping if the Golf Club will dedicate
the right-of-way. Mr. Kremer said he concurred that there is enough meandering and depositing of
sediment to justify the riprapping. There is only an insignificant area that doesn't need it. The City
of Golden Valley has the responsibility to proceed with obtaining right-of-way. Mr. Spychalla had
provided them with the areas that need to be acquired. The City of Golden Valley is to meet with
the Golf Club regarding the Golf Club dedicating the permanent right-of-way.
2. Mr. Pearson referred to the Resolution he had sent to the cities authorizing the Bassett Creek Water
Management Commission to contract with the cities of Golden Valley, Minneapolis, and Plymouth
to construct certain relocation projects. The City of Minnetonka had a couple of questions
regarding the resolution before presenting it to its Council. The City of New Hope has approved
the Resolution authorizing Bassett Creek to proceed.
Commissioners
Mr. Rye reported on the Hennepin County Groundwater Plan. It is now available in draft form. He
had given a copy to Mr. Kremer. The document is an institutional arrangement which would involve
Hennepin County in land use in the municipalities. The committee will meet about the middle of
December. He asked anyone interested to look at the draft plan and give him the comments before the
Committee goes to the County Board with the plan. It is important that comments be given to him
anytime before the 17th of December. A long discussion followed. This groundwater approach could
have a great impact on water quality for us as well as land use. It was questioned whether we were
interested in presenting an alternative.
Corps of Engineers
1. Mr. Spychalla had prepared a memo regarding project costs, our cash contribution for credits for
lands, rights-of-way and relocations, and showing various scenarios for Bassett Creek. Scenario
#10 was the worst scenario shown; but, even in that case, no additional funds would be required.
Everything depends on the Wirth Park/Soo Line credits for right-of-way.
2. Mr. Spychalla stated an information meeting had been held regarding Fruen Mill. Basically the plan
was well received. They would like to see the Penn Avenue Culvert stay in place. The Park Board
has indicated concern about flooding of the golf course.
3. Mr. Spychalla said the St. Paul office has sent in the request for extension of the project to 1995.
The Division office will have to endorse the request and then it will have to be approved in
Washington.
Miscellaneous
Mr. Erick extended a welcome to Mr. Schevenius who was able to attend the meeting. Since the last
one he attended, he has been in Africa on one of his volunteer projects.
Engineer
1. Mr. Kremer had been contacted by property owners in the vicinity of the conduit entrance. They
are awaiting modification of the flood plain elevation. The revision to the Flood Insurance Study
will be delayed until the Corps has done the technical support work. They would like modifications
of the plan made as soon as possible. The Commission will have to go through an amendment
process regarding modifications to the management envelope in the Water Management Plan. Mr.
Kremer said we need to consider the process of these changes. The Staff will check into what has
to be amended and the process for amending the management plan. Mr. Kremer said he could have
recommendations about what has to be done by the December meeting. Mr. Moore said that in any
minor amendments needed by the city, about 45 days are required. The cities will have to modify
their ordinances.

Mr. Silberman questioned if anyone in Minneapolis has been concerned about the closure of the old
creek. Mr. Kremer said he had had several calls. Requests will be coming in for the Commission
to investigate options to maintain flow in the old conduit. Mr. Monk said that the need for plan
changes will need to. be outlined for the city. It -was asked if there were other places along the creek
where there will be envelope changes. It would be wise to know about them as soon as possible as
the member cities will want to know what changes they are expected to make.
3. Mr. Kremer said he had submitted, in conjunction with the Corps of Engineers, the Bassett Creek
Project to the Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers. He was notified that it was the top
project and it will receive an award on February 21. It will be submitted to the National Society of
Professional Engineers. We should know how well it does there by the end of December.
Appreciation was expressed to the Corps of Engineers but Mr. Spychalla said the submittal was
done by Mr. Kremer of Barr Engineering and that he deserves credit for a job well done.
New Business:
1. Harbor Woods Development, City of Plymouth. (Mr. Mike Pflaun of Lundgren Brothers and Mr.
Richard Sathre of Sathre Bergquist were in attendance).
This project is a single family residential development west of Highway 494 and north of Carlson
Parkway. It is a 25 acre site on which they proposed to build 30 homes. There are several
wetlands on the site. Two of them are Type III DNR protected wetlands. There also is a small
unprotected wetland subject to the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. They propose to
construct two ponding areas to mitigate filling of about one/half acre of wetland. Mr. Kremer
expressed concern about the tributary area. It is in accordance with Commission policies now but
will not be after January 1. Mr. Kremer recommended approval subject to his written engineering
report. Moved by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Rye, and carried unanimously.
2. Mr. Kremer, in his memorandum to the Commissioners for the November 21 meeting, had attached
a document prepared by BWSR which explains the process for the Interim Program for the
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. He indicated that the Commission should discuss
which local government unit will administer the interim provisions of the Act. He touched briefly
on the additional responsibilities that the communities and the Commission would have. The
Commission has to consider who is going to be the local governing unit (LGU) and which city or
WMO will be reviewing any wetland encroachment. Mr. Monk cautioned that there are some
downsides in our assuming the responsibility. It was suggested that the Cities could be the LGU's.
Mr. Enck indicated that he would like this left to the cities in the interim period. Mr. Moore said it
was critical that we take action because unless we make a designation before January 1, 1992,
property owners will be left without an agency to consider any request for a modification of a
wetland_ Mr. Kremer and Mr. Pearson had discussed and had considered recommending that the
Commission be the LGU. It would be in the best interests of the Commission to have consistent
management of wetlands. Mr. Kremer and Mr. Pearson said that they understand that some cities
may want to act as the LGU. Mr. Moore says that this is an all or nothing deal but that in the
interim it could be both. Mr. Monk recommended that the watershed should formally send a letter
to each city regarding whether they are interested in the watershed assuming the responsibilities.
Mr. Moore said the Commission should be taking on the responsibility as the LGU unless the
councils adopt a resolution by the 1st of the year. Mr. Silberman questioned whether the
commission could be the technical representative as the LGU, if the Commission could assign
responsibilities to the individual cities for certain actions, and if the WMO had the authority to issue
permits. Mr. Pearson said he would have to check into the administrative procedure but that he
believed that the law would allow the WMO to handle the matter for the cities. At the December
meeting the Commission will have to act on whether or not they want to be the LGU.
CIM ULt 20'91

After further discussion, Mr. Moore moved that the Commission take on the responsibility as the
LGU for administration of the Interim Wetland Program Regulation unless an individual city takes
on that responsibility by Resolution of their City Council before January 1, 1992. Seconded by
Mr. O'Toole for purposes of discussion. Mr. Pearson stated he would check with BWSR to see if
it can be done in this manner. It was asked what the economic consequences would be if the
Commission assumes this responsibility for the entire watershed It was stated that there is from
$15,000 to $20,000 in the Commission budget for administration and that individual cities could
also be billed. The Commission will have to work out a program for the payment of the costs if we
take on the responsibility for administering the program. The motion passed unanimously.
Old Business
1 Retention of Legal and Engineering Services.
Discussion followed during which Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Kremer left the meeting while the
Commissioners discussed professional services.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Committee: R. Kannankutty, E. Silberman, D. Sonnenberg
The committee had studied proposals from: Barr Engineering Company, Bay West, Inc.,
Midwest Engineering, Inc., Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc., Short -Elliott -
Hendrickson, Inc., and Westwood Professional Services, Inc. They determined the top three
firms to be Barr, OSM, and SEH in that order. They all would be qualified to handle the work
but that Barr Engineering's history of service with the Bassett Creek WMO, its familiarity with
the watershed, and its knowledge of our procedures provides sufficient distinction to allow us
to recommend their selection. Had one of the other two been better qualified, the issue of
"familiarity" would not have been utilized as a factor in making this decision.
LEGAL SERVICES
Committee: J. OToole, Peter Enck
Mr. OToole reported that they he and Mr. Enck had evaluated the two proposals carefully, that
of Curt Pearson and Bay West. The recommendation was that we continue to retain Curt
Pearson. His work is excellent as well as reasonable and he has a wealth of experience in
dealing with the Commission since its inception.
Chairman Enck commended the two committees for their careful consideration of the
proposals. It was moved by Mr. Silberman and seconded by Mr. Rye that Mr. Pearson
and Barr Engineering Company be retained for the next two years at which time further
study will have to be made to fulfill the legal requirements. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Silberman moved that the Babcock firm be authorized to do the necessary auditing.
Seconded by Mr. OToole and carried unanimously.

2. Mr. Kremer referred to the Medina situation discussed last month. He said the natural boundary for
the land in question is in Bassett Creek but the legal boundary of the land is in the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed. He has reviewed the drainage plan and had sent the comments on to the City of
Plymouth and to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed. It was asked whether we would have to change
the legal boundary. It was suggested that we share comments with the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed and that this be a cooperative effort between the watersheds. We have by practice
worked cooperatively with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed in handling these boundary problems
and concerns administratively. A question was raised about a formal written contract between the
two watersheds. Mr. Moore suggested that we leave well enough alone and not prepare an
agreement but to continue to handle such matters administratively.
4. Mr. Schevenius explained that General Mills would like to see the $5,000 dedicated to the
Commission for Medicine Lake spent. It was suggested that it be used towards modifying the
outlet from Fernbrook Wetland area. A weir needs to be installed which could detain water for a
longer period of time during frequent events. It was moved by Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr.
Silberman that the engineer prepare a feasibility report. It was questioned whether this would be
allowable by Hennepin County. Mr. Kremer will check this out before preparing the
abovementioned feasibility report. This was agreeable to both Mr. Moore and Mr. Silberman.
Adjournment
Since time did not permit taking up any further business, it was moved by Mr. Silberman and
seconded by Mr. Rye that the meeting adjourn. Chairman Enck adjourned the meeting at 2:05 PM.

SUBJECT: CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE CALL FROM DALE HAUGLAND
I stopped in and spoke to Mr. Haugland at approximately 12:20
this date. Mr. Haugland stated that he parks his van, which is
unmarked, in the fire lane to unload the clothing from the
cleaning shop. Mr. Haugland stated that he normally only parks
in the fire lane for approximately five minutes, and then he
moves on. He went on to state that numerous trucks and vehicles
are parking in the fire lane, some for long periods of time.
Mr. Haugland wanted to know why we were not tagging these other
vehicles, and also was wondering if it would be possible to
change the fire lane to five minute parking.
Mr. Haugland was advised that there would be no way to enforce
the five minute parking and that the Fire Department would be
unwilling to change a posted fire lane and allow parking, but
that we as officers do use discretion in tagging vehicles parked
in fire lanes. It was explained that we would basically allow
him to stop in the fire lane and to unload the clothing, and that
if we saw him going in and out to the vehicle we would not tag
him, but when he finished unloading he would, at that time, be
required to park his vehicle in the lot and then go back and
sort, or put away, the clothing.
Mr. Haugland felt that that is what he had done on the 9th. I
advised him that I would speak with the officer that had written
the tag and get back to him. I spoke with Officer Thompson, who
had written the tag. Officer Thompson stated that he had parked
in front of Mr. Haugland's vehicle and had waited for over five
minutes before he had issued the citation. He stated at that
time he could not see anyone inside the business. Officer
Thompson informed me that he had warned Mr. Haugland previously
about leaving his car in the fire lane when he was not unloading.
I have tried to get ahold of Mr. Haugland this afternoon, but was
unable to do so. I will call him back and advise him of my
findings. I did inform Mr. Haugland that we would try to monitor
other parking problems in the fire lane at this location. Mr.
Haugland was very appreciative of the fact that we had gotten
back to him on his complaint.

When I was young (am now 71 years old) I dreamed some day I would
be whealthy, and my one ambition was to build a complex for the
Siniors. Wouldn't it be beautiful to have some little houses
economically build so that singles and couples could live in a
home where they could bhve a dog, a garden, and somewhere they
could have things as they had them in their own homes. For those
who couldn't take care of themselves; a building such a dormatory
for them to stay in. Also, have places like a barber shop, grocery,
shops close by or incorporated in the Dor;m Building. Also a
place to congregate dine if it was possible, and a place to go to
to play cards or have parties. I could elaborate on this dream,
but I won't take up more of your time.
I would enjoy coming to meetings you have 'but most of them are
held at evening hours. I don't like to travel at night alone, so
I stay home, but I am most interested in Plymouth. I have lived
at the above address since 1950.

Design/ Easy changes let senior live independently
Continued from page 1R
For older homes, one solution — and
it's costly — is to make architectural
changes. This can involve knocking
out walls to create more space, in-
stalling lifts and elevators, leveling
floors, lowering kitchen and bath-
room cabinets and shelves, widening
doorways, installing ramps and add-
ing bathrooms on the first floor.
Many people on a fixed income can't
afford to make sweeping changes.
They can, however, make many easy
and fairly inexpensive improve-
ments. Some changes benefit every-
one, such as installing lever handles
or doorknob adapters.
"The day they created the lever han-
dle they should never have made
another doorknob," says barrier -free
design architect Don Liss of WellBe
Design in Mount Lebanon, Pa. "You
have your arms full of groceries,
there's no way you can use a door-
knob, but you can turn a lever with
an elbow or hip."
There are other home features to
consider.
■ Lighting should be strong and well-
balanced. By age 70, a person re-
quires three to six times as much
light to see as the average 30 -year-
old. Several lower -wattage light
sources are better than a single large -
wattage light source in a room. The
new, energy-saving fluorescent bulbs
are easier on eyes. In the kitchen,
under -counter task lighting can illu-
minate the sink, counters and stove.
■ Changing color schemes can also
help. Experts advise contrasting col-
ors because they're easier to see than
monochromatic or neutral schemes.
The elderly see oranges and reds
most easily, Wright says.
To make them stand out, try colorful
contrasts for sofa pillows, tablecloths,
dishes and even door frames. For
stairs, you can use white tape on the
top and bottom steps to mark the
change in elevation. Stenciling is an-
other option for marking areas.
■ For furnishings, place the most sta-
ble pieces near doorways. Free-stand-
ing items such as floor lamps or tall
plant stands are a threat to people
who use walkers or canes, and should
be in the feast -traveled areas. Uphol-
stered furniture should not be too
low or deep.
hooks, lamps and bookshelves to
make sure they're within easy reach.
If not, lower them. The same goes for
shelves and tabletops where a person
keeps frequently used items such as
handbags, telephone books and cook-
ware.
■ Install grab rails in key areas such
as hallways, bathrooms and along
stairs. If you don't need a door, re-
move it or install a light, hollow -core
door. Another option: swing -clear
hinges that enlarge door openings.
■ Wax or grease drawers so they slide
in and out easily.
■ Replace hazardous throw rugs and
mats. Carpeting should be taut,
densely woven and secure.
■ Use night lights in hallways, bath-
rooms and bedrooms.
■ Fit stove controls with covers hav-
ing larger numerals.
■ Install revolving round trays in
cabinets to keep frequently used
items, such as seasonings, within
easy reach.
■ Lower kitchen cabinets to 15 inch -
0 Survey the light switches, coat es above the counter instead of the
standard 18 to 24 inches to put mor.
shelves within easy reach.
Improvements should emphasiz
ease of function and safety. ,

consultant and president of PHI

recommends installing sensors fo

electrical outlets, which have quicl

Basically, you want to arrange th
home so its resident can keep doin
things he or she has been doing.
"It's the psychology of being ind(

Dear Mr. Schon:
CIN OF
PLYM0UTR
On December 10, the City Council approved the 1992 City budget and tax levy.
During our review of the 1992 budget, we discussed two items which are of
prime interest to the athletic associations. The first dealt with the $5 non-
resident fee that was implemented at our request in 1991, and the second dealt
with our facility rental rates. Based on our review of the revenue raised by
the $5 non-resident fee, the Council has decided to drop this fee effective
January 1, 1992. On the second issue, it was the unanimous feeling of the
present Council and the newly elected councilmembers that the City should
continue with its tournament facility rental policy, charging the same rates
in 1992 as the policy called for in 1991. This means there will be no
increase of the rate in 1992, but it also means there will not be any
reductions to our policy at this time. I hope that our early communication of
these decisions to you will help you in planning your fee structure for the
1992 athletic prgrams.
On behalf of all the
service you provide
assistance to you in

Dear Mr. Brown:
I appreciate your willingness to meet with a group of Plymouth
business leaders Thursday morning, December 19. Due to previous
business commitments I will be unable to join you.
I want to share with you the essence of a number of comments
which have been made to me during the past several weeks by
various parties within our community. These comments come from
not only persons affiliated with business, but also many
citizens. The essence of the comments is that they are
disappointed that the new postal station in eastern Plymouth will
not offer the traditional hands-on services they have come to
expect and rely upon. These folks appreciate the service they
have received from your employees at the current Plymouth Post
Office, as well as postal facilities in other jurisdictions.
They have the perception that the full range of services they
have come to enjoy are not going to be fully available at the new
station and think they will be obligated to transact some of
their postal business at a facility other than the new one being
built near their homes and/or businesses.
From previous conversations I have had with you, I understand you
are sensitive to customer service. I also recognize that the new
facility being constructed will have the flexibility to offer
direct customer service if and when that decision is made. The
purpose of this letter is urge you to give that additional
consideration at this time.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor Bergman,
It has been a great experience for me serving on the PRAC advisory
commission. I have learned a great deal about city government and
also the contributions made by many voluntary citizens groups in
making Plymouth a Star City.
In my three years as a commissioner, 1 have seen Parker's Lake
expansion, the development of Bass Lake Park, Swan Park, Shiloh,
Greenlock, 10th Avenue Park, improvements in our trail system and
other park improvements completed or being completed in 1992.
It is with regret that I resign from PRAC as chairperson effective
December 31, 1991. The Freels' have built a new home in Florida
and we plan to spend several months each year there.
I would be unable to perform the duties as required for such an
important position.
I want to thank Mr. Eric Blank and his staff for the wonderful help
and support they have given me and the other PRAC commissioners.
My thanks to all PRAC Commissioners, and my best regards to you and

SUBJECT: JANUARY 13 FORUM
Dear Mr. Bakken:
This is just a reminder that the forum sponsored by the Plymouth
Charter Commission is scheduled for Monday, January 13 from
7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth
Boulevard.
We appreciate your taking time from your busy schedule to be a
member of the panel.
Plymouth's Charter Commission has met on five occasions. We have
been supplied with a wide variety of reading materials from the
League of Minnesota Cities and have received presentations from
Dave Kennedy, Attorney - Holmes and Graven, Plymouth City staff
members, and have viewed the April 1991 League of Women Voters
forum.
The purpose of this forum is to discuss the benefits of statutory
versus charter city designation. Because of the complexity and
number of issues involved, we hope the forum will challenge us to
consider both the obvious and subtle implications of establishing
a charter. We encourage complete examination of all sides of
each issue.
There are six specific issues which the Charter Commission has
discussed. We hope that collectively you will address each:
1. Advantages and disadvantages of establishing election
days other than the first Tuesday after the first Monday
of November, and even versus odd years.
2. Benefits and disadvantages of having a Council size of
five, seven, nine, or some other number.
3. Advantages and disadvantages associated with wards,
elections at -large, or combinations of the two.

4. Benefits of having four-year council staggered terms and
a two-year mayoral term. The advantages of a longer
mayoral term should be addressed as well.
5. The potential advantages or disadvantages of forms of
government other than council/manager including a strong
mayor forum.
6. The benefits of, disadvantages associated with, and usage
of initiative referendum and recall provisions in
charters.
The format for the forum will involve a brief introduction of
each of the four panel members by myself. For your information,
the four panelists are: Larry Bakken - Mayor of Golden Valley,
Desyl Peterson - City Attorney for the City of Minnetonka, Stan
Peskar - Legal Council for the League of Minnesota Cities, Jon
Elam - City Administrator of Maple Grove.
Following the introduction, each of the panelists will be given
five minutes to make general comments. Next, questions will be
asked of the panel by Charter Commission members or the audience.
For your information, I have attached a roster of our Charter
Commission members.
The forum will be televised on Plymouth Local Government Access
Channel 37 and will be rebroadcast after the initial live airing.

SUBJECT: 1992 FUNDING FROM THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH
Dear Mr. Schiebe:
The City Council has adopted the 1992 City Budget. Following
consideration of the materials you submitted, the City Council
determined to provide support to the Plymouth Historical Society
in the amount of $5,600. This represents an allocation of up to
$4,725 to cover the utility costs associated with the Historical
Society building as contained in your budget request of July 28,
1991. The remainder, $875, is one-half of the total anticipated
expense of $1,750 to redo your display room separator walls and
wallpaper in the museum.
I believe that all utility costs are billed directly to the City.
Capital outlay work should be invoiced to the City once the work
has been completed. In accordance with Council policy, we will
pay up to $875 of any approved work completed. Prior to
finalizing your specifications, you should be in contact with
Jack Tabery, 550-5112 in order that he is aware of and can
approve your planned improvements.
Let me know if you have any questions.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH

DATE: December 13, 1991

FROM: Bob Pemberton, Risk Management Coordinator
SUBJECT: ARIF ALTAF

PLYMOUTH, MN 55442
On December 6, 1991 Tom Vetsch and I inspected mailboxes reportedly hit and
damaged by the City snowplows as the result of the November 30, 1991 storm.
We inspected the mailbox and support at 5715 Sycamore Lane and found no marks
that would indicate snowplow contact. The horizontal support for the mailbox
was a 4" X 4" beam that was notched to the point that a sliver of wood
measuring 1" X 3/4" was the sole structural strength for the beam. We
concluded that the design was defective and the force of the snow coming off
the plow blade caused the horizontal support to fail.
That afternoon Mr. Altaf spoke with Tom Vetsch and was informed that the snow
plow hadn't struck the mailbox and the design of the post was substandard or
defective. He wasn't satisfied with Tom's response and was given my telephone
number. Sharon Mohr also called me with his telephone number and after
several attempts I was able to reach him at home.
I spoke with Mr Altaf and tried to explain our snow plowing policy and the
necessity of storing snow on the City owned right of way adjacent to the curb
line. He was insistent that the snowplow hit his mailbox and the City was
responsible. I explained that our crews don't intentionally damage property,
but sometimes it occurs because the snow has to go somewhere. However, that
doesn't mean we were negligent or responsible for the damage.
He was insistent that we repair his mailbox and I informed him that under our
current policy we would only respond if we made direct contact with the
mailbox. He replied that the snow coming off the plow blade constituted
direct contact and we were going to repair his mailbox.
I again repeated our position and also informed him that the most likely cause
of the entire problem was the severe notching of the horizontal support which
robbed it of its structural strength. I told him that in effect it was a poor

design and it was a matter of time before the beam failed.
I applied the same policy to Mr. Altaf's claim that I have used with all the
other claims being presented against the City of Plymouth.

Dear Mr. Altaf:
Mayor Bergman has forwarded your letter of December 11 to me for
response.
First, let me apologize if you felt that the service you received
from any one of our employees was less than satisfactory, or that
you were treated in other than a courteous fashion. It is our
endeavor to treat all our residents with courtesy and respect in
their dealings with us.
Mr. Bob Pemberton, the City's Risk Management Coordinator and Mr.
Tom Vetsch, our Street Maintenance Superintendent, have reviewed
each of the complaints we have received from citizens regarding
damage caused by snowplows. Most of the complaints surround
damage to mailboxes. The practice in the City has been to assume
responsibility for damage to mailboxes only in those instances
where it can be clearly demonstrated that the mailbox was struck
by the plow itself and not by the snow coming off of the plow.
From the inspection conducted by both Mr. Vetsch and
Mr. Pemberton, it appears that the damage to your mailbox was as
a result of snow and not being struck by the plow.
We obviously regret that your mailbox was damaged as a result of
snowplowing operations. We cannot however, assume responsibility
for repairing or replacing your mailbox as our investigation
indicates that it was not physically struck by a plow.
If you wish to discuss this matter with me further, please feel
free to contact me at 550-5011.
Yours truly,

Ref: TRASH SCREENING TASK FORCE REPORT
Mr. Mayor,
Having sat through the City Council Meeting last night, it
did not seem clear what recommendations were being made and
why. It was a long evening, with time at a premium. I take
this opportunity to make my perceptions of the task force's
actions known.
We felt that undue burdens should not be placed on business
in order that they continue to participate in recycling
activities. They should not have to build new enclosures
just to accommodate recycling containers. However,...new
construction or expansions of current business operations,
should have to provide adequate space and screening for both
trash and recycling.
We felt it was important for the City to be pro -recycling,..
as well as anti -clutter.
11
Current ordinances (written in the "70s) dealt with screening
and enclosures for trash only. It was not foreseen at that
time that environmentally necessary recycling activities
would progress to current levels, and necessitate multiple
containers.
There are two general problems. Trash and recycling
materials at current business operations are not meeting the
ordinances that have been in place for many years. Secondly,
how do we interact with developers in providing for adequate
space in future projects.
In recommending that recycling containers be a legal non-
conformance at existing business locations we accomplish
three things.
a- We are pro -recycling.
b- A great deal of the enforcement problem disappears.
c- Business is not financially burdened ONLY because
they want to participate in recycling.
Trash containment (as opposed to recycling) is also a problem
in out City. This is a separate issue from recycling, and we
tried to provide a means for business to justify correcting
the problem where it exists.
ciM DEC 20'91
page 2:
All business ventures in the City have a site plan that
provided for trash screening. Where the containers no longer
fit the enclosures, it is generally for economical/finacial
reasons. There are economies of scale that affect or have
changed how business deals with trash removal. It is less
expensive for business to have a larger container removed on
a less frequent -basis. In many instances this has caused
management to opt for containers larger than their original
site plan would accommodate,... in order to realize the
savings provided by less frequent pick-up schedules.
Where this has occurred, business has already been saving
considerable money, or has avoided paying increased trash
hauling fees.
Jur recommendation was to enforce the original site plan at
offending locations. If the business can or wants to go back
to smaller containers, then the problem is solved. If the
business opts to redesign their trash area (in -order to
accommodate the larger, less expensive containers) they must
meet current ordinances which provide screening for both
trash and recycling materials. Business should be able to
justify additional resources based on savings realized
through less frequent trash hauler schedules.
Regarding developers of new construction projects:
We spent the greater part of three meetings trying to develop
a standard (percent of building or site square footage) that
could reasonably be incorporated into new construction
design. To require a minimum sized trash/recycling area
seemed possible, and we settled on providing room enough for
two 4 yard containers. What proved to be very problematical
was to provide a design standard to which developers could
design their buildings. There are ,lust to many variables and
future unknown building use possibilities.
We felt City Planning Staff should be given the flexibility
to interact with builders based on planned usage at each
project. This would not place an unnecessary burden on
developers, causing them to design oversize areas, and
increase costs. Where agreement could not be reached at the
Staff level, appeals to City Council would be appropriate.
We felt that developers should be encouraged to provide
adequate recycling space on their own. One way to do this
was to recommend that they not be penalized by having to
provide parking for building square footage dedicated to
trash/recycling areas. In other words, deduct the
trash/recycling square footage from the building square
footage before the parking formula is applied.
CIM DtL z U 'V J
page 3:
An additional recommendation was made to upgrade those
businesses currently electing to use a legally non -conforming
recycling container.
We recommended that whenever there is a substantial or
material change -at an ongoing business where a new site plan
is required,...the new site plan will meet current ordinances
that provide screening for both trash and recycling
materials. This recommendation was meant to apply to
expansion of operations only. Minor changes (signage,
curbing, etc.) would be exempt from having to meet the new
ordinances.
realize that this subject is probably not high on your list
of City priorities, but you may need to field questions on
the intent of our recommendations.
if you have further questions please give me a call.

LAKE ROAD CONSTRUCTION, WETLANDS 27-59OW AND 27-591W,
CITY OF PLYMOUTH, HENNEPIN COUNTY
Dear Mr. Stine:
Thank you for your letter of December 16 conveying the subject
permit for the construction of Northwest Boulevard and Schmidt
Lake Road.
We appreciate the efforts you and your staff devoted to the
process of determining the appropriate alignment for this
project. Yours was not an easy decision, given the divergent
views which were presented to you on behalf of some of the area
residents, as well as the City and its consultants. We believe
that you have, through the granting of your permit, concluded
that the alignment proposed as preferred by the City is indeed
the most appropriate, all factors considered.
We believe that having gone through this process, the additional
comments and information shared at the numerous meetings will
result in a project which is environmentally sensitive, as well
as environmentally sound. We pledge to work with you and your
associates to incorporate the mitigation measures you have
suggested as we develop plans for the project. The City's
consultants and staff will work cooperatively with your staff to
ensure that the understandings reached between your agency and
the City are not only carried out in the planning process, but
throughout the construction of the project.
Thank you again for the cooperation we have received from your
agency and its personnel.
Yours truly,

RE: PERMIT #91-6185, NORTHWEST BOULEVARD AND SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD
CONSTRUCTION, WETLANDS 27-59OW AND 27-591W, CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
HENNEPIN COUNTY
Dear Mr. Willis:
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has determined that
permit application #91-6185, for the placement of fill and
structures in state protected waters and wetlands, will be issued
for the modified "AD" alignment summarized in the Department's
November 20, 1991 draft decision document. The main modifications
of the city's original proposal include:
1. the bridge over the Soo Line Railroad would be
approximately doubled in length (approximately 250 feet
versus the 125 foot bridge proposed);
2. a portion of the wooded area to the east of wetland 27-
590W and south of 27-589W would be preserved by
appropriate legal methods to provide continuity of the
existing ecosystem; and
3. the portion of existing West Medicine Lake Road within
and immediately adjacent to Curtis Lake (27-593W) would
be included in a mitigation plan designed by a qualified
biologist.
Because the proposal is still in the preliminary design stage, the
DNR permit will not specify the details of the work authorized. The
permit will include requirements to submit detailed construction
and mitigation plans, in appropriate phases, for DNR approval.

The Department appreciates the cooperation and participation of all
parties in the review/input process surrounding the DNR's draft
decision. This process provided an opportunity to consider the
spectrum of environmental and other public concerns. Because of
the input received, the Department was able to clarify and
understand the most suitable road design, construction, and wetland
mitigation features so that environmental impacts can be minimized.

Plymouth, Minnesota 55447
Dear Ms. Rauenhorst:
Within the next several months, local government redistricting will move into
high gear with more stringent time constraints than ever before. This will
require cities and counties to complete their redistricting activities quickly
and accurately and will necessitate frequent, effective communications among
jurisdictions in order to notify the state and voters of district boundary and
precinct changes prior to candidate filing deadlines and the 1992 primary and
general elections.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of county redistricting policies
and the services that are being offered to municipalities to support
redistricting and facilitate the incorporation of municipal plans into the
county redistricting plan.
POLICIES AND SERVICES
1. The Hennepin County Board exercised, on behalf of the county and its
municipalities, the special redistricting levy authority granted by the
1991 Legislature. This levy provides for funding in the amount of $.25 per
capita for cities having populations of 30,000 or more. The County Board
has extended funding to all municipalities that are required to redistrict
regardless of population.
Redistricting payments to municipalities will be payable upon receipt of
their redistricting plans by the county, subsequent to the finalization of
state legislative districts.
2. The county will provide redistricting software (PaperTiger by GeoSpan
Corporation) and necessary census data to municipalities without charge in
exchange for a copy of the municipal redistricting plan in this format.
3. The county will generate reports on municipal population, voting age
. population, and other data to confirm municipal precinct reports.
4. Upon request, the county will prepare official ward/precinct maps, as
required by statute, on a cost basis.

In addition to the redistricting policies and services described above, the
county would also like to invite representatives of each municipality within
Hennepin County to attend a redistricting meeting at the Minnetonka City Hall
Council Chambers, on Wednesday, January 8, at 9:30 a.m. The agenda for this
meeting will include:
* Review of county and municipal redistricting responsibilities and timelines.
* Receive an update on pending state and federal court cases and legislative
initiatives dealing with redistricting and their implications for cities and
counties.
* Review county policies and services being offered to support municipal
redistricting including:
- Distribution of special redistricting levy
- Redistricting software
- Mapping services
* Demonstration of redistricting software that is being made available to
municipalities.
* Open discussion of redistricting/voter registration issues.
