SUBJECT: ELECTION RESULTS
So that everyone can get election results as quickly as possible on
November 5, they will be available as follows:
1. While Polls are Open (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.)
After 1:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m., candidates may call 550-5000
to receive the total number of voters by precinct. Vote
totals by candidate will not be available.
2. After Polls Close (after 8:00 p.m.)
A. Results for each candidate will be posted in the City
Council Chambers by precinct after they have been verified.
We ask that anyone waiting for vote totals at the City
Center to do so in the council chambers or in the upper
lobby level. Candidates should convey this to their
representatives who will be at the City Center election
evening. Coffee and snacks will be available for those
waiting for results. Telephones in the lobby and lower
level lunchroom have been designated for the public's use.
B. Results will be posted on Channel 37 by total votes per
candidate with the number of precincts reporting (Not by
precinct).. A T.V. monitor is in the upper level lobby.
C. Results will be available on Channel 35. Northwest
Community T.V. will cablecast a combination of results for
various cities and live reports.
D. Results by precinct and candidate will be available by
calling the City Center, 550-5000. The switchboard will
remain open one-half hour after the last precinct has
reported.
I have asked judges not to call candidates from the polls.
All of these results will be unofficial. Election results do not
become official until the City Council, sitting as the Canvassing
Board, certifies them following the election.

As leaders of an environmental agency; I am eager to exchange ideas
with you, the leaders of the cities in or ,near our service area.
How will we approach new challenges together? What issues are most
important to you? What could we be doing better?
One issue holds particular mutual interest for the MWCC and cities.
You may know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the
federal Environmental Protection Agency are currently studying the
possibility of requiring our agency to r --move phosphorus from
wastewater before it is discharged. Paying for this new
requirement could force us to raise the rates we charge cities by
as much as 40%. We would like to discuss this and other issues
with you.
The focus of these meetings is more general than the budget
breakfasts we host each spring. They are an opportunity for you to
meet MWCC's policy makers, and our senior staff, and a chance for
us to gauge the pulse of the city's policy makers.
Please join us on one of the dates listed on the reverse side of
this letter. We look forward to seeing you there.
All meetings begin at 7:30 AM. Please RSVP to Sarah Kline at the
MWCC Office -of Communications, 229-2129, at least three working
days before the meeting you plan to attend.
Sincerely,
Charles Weaver, Chair

A MESSAGE FROM THE HENNEPIN COUNTY BOARD
Enclosed is a notice that Hennepin County, under the state's Truth in Taxation law, is required
to send to all property taxpayers. It has information on property taxes proposed for 1992 by the
County government and other jurisdictions. The Hennepin County Board is happy to provide
you with this information, but the Board feels obligated to tell you that the notice does not tell the
whole story.
First, you should know that about one-fourth of the total property taxes collected in the County
are used to support programs of the County government; the remainder mainly supports cities
and school districts. The County Board has responsibility for general County programs (shown
in the first line of the table on the notice) and the County's Regional Railroad Authority (one of
the special taxing districts included on the fourth line).
For 1992, the County Board has proposed that the combined property taxes for these two
purposes -- general operations and the railroad authority -- decrease by $6.3 million, or 1.8
percent, as shown below.
The proposed increase for general County purposes will be no more than 4.5 percent. This
basically will allow County programs — such as health, social services, and the criminal justice
system -- to continue current operations.
No taxes will be levied for the railroad authority, which means a reduction of more than $21.5
million from 1991. This more than offsets the proposed increase for general operations. The
reason for dropping the levy is that the County Board has decided to reduce planning efforts
for light-rail transit until there is more direction from the Legislature.
IMPORTANT:
Depending on several factors, the proposed County property tax for your property, as
shown on the notice, may vary significantly from the countywide effects described
above. Among these factors:
❑ State assistance for property -tax relief to Hennepin County will decrease from $31.6
million this year to $23 million in 1992. Property taxpayers will make up the difference.
❑ The Legislature this year made changes in the state's tax rates affecting different
classes of property. The result: higher taxes in 1992 for many properties and lower
taxes for many others.
❑ A significant change in the market value of your property may result in an above-
average increase or decrease in your property tax.
The Hennepin County Board will hold a public hearing on the 1992 County tax levy at:
7 p.m. Tuesday, November 19
Board Room, Government Center 24th Floor
Free parking for attendees at Government Center garage (entrance on Third Avenue)
The County Board welcomes your participation in the County's budget process.

Richard J. Carlquist CITY OF
Directorof Public Safety
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Dick:
It is with deep regret that I accept your resignation as Director
of Public Safety effective November 15, 1991.
Your selection as Deputy Director of Public Safety for the State
of Minnesota is a high honor and a tribute to your talents and
character. All of us who have had the pleasure of knowing and
working with you here in Plymouth for the past twelve years
recognize your talents and capabilities. We understand therefore
how well you will do in your new position.
On a personal note, I want you to know how much I will miss you
as a key player on our management team. You have always been a
team player and a tremendous asset to not only the organization,
but to me personally.
Without your leadership and talents, the establishment of our
Public Safety Department would have been far more difficult to
have achieved. You undertook the assignment with a great deal of
sensitivity and clearly disarmed what could have been perceived
as a hostile administrative change.
Thanks Dick for your the loyal.service and support which you have
provided me during these past twelve years. It has meant a lot
to have such a dedicated person working with me on many of the
issues confronting our organization and community. The community
is far better off today than it would have been without your
dedicated service! I know the weeks and months ahead will be
enormously challenging to you and I am confident that you will
render the same superb service with the State that you provide
here in Plymouth.
Best regards,
Jame G. Willis

DATE: October 28, 1991
TO: James G. Willis - City Manager
FROM: Richard J. Carlquist - Public Safety Director
SUBJECT: RESIGNATION
I am hereby resigning my position as Public Safety Director for
the City of Plymouth effective November 15, 1991.
I have accepted an appointment as the Deputy Commissioner of
Public Safety for the State of Minnesota. I will start in that
new position on November 18th.
During the past twelve years, it has been my pleasure to observe
the Police Department grow from 27 employees to 56. At the same
time, the Fire Department expanded from 40 to 60 paid -on-call
members, along with the addition of full-time administration,
inspection and clerical support. Fire stations were added,
remodeled, or replaced. And, a new Public Safety building is
just a few weeks away from a bid being awarded.
Of all the accomplishments that I have seen these past years, I
am most proud of all the individuals who collectively have become
part of a team effort to improve the public safety services in
Plymouth, second to none! I have always believed that people
will support what they help create. My observations in Plymouth
have reinforced that philosophy.
It has also been my pleasure to work with City employees in
department's other than Public Safety. I have come to admire and
respect all of them for their dedication and commitment. I will
miss them.
With ambivalent feelings of enthusiasm and trepidation, I begin a
new career. I want to thank you for being my mentor these past
years. Your guidance and friendship has allowed me to stretch
managerially and reach new heights in my chosen career. I will
miss you.-.� Till,

ONE MORE PUSH!
Dear Neighbors,
This could be my last communication to you about the Carlson development
of the land south of the Luce Line and west of #494 (the "Harbor Woods"
development). Here's the latest news...
The planning commission recommended that the city council approve the
development of the land according to the latest proposal. The proposal
features 30 single family homes and about 10 acres of outlot with a
perpetual nature conservancy easement on it. We may have lost the
woods, but we did save part of it and prevented the development of a large
number of out -of -place apartments. I believe the commission will
approve the proposal. The only issue still open to contest is the ultimate
development of Fernbrook.
The original proposal had Fernbrook being completed from 12th avenue
north of the Luce Line to 4th ave. on the East of Harbor Place. Many of us
had two major concerns. The connection along Harbor Place would have
wiped out virtually all natural landscape and the hillside - the only buffer
between the neighborhood and the long exit ramp from #494 south bound.
This portion of Fernbrook is no longer included in the proposal. Our second
concern is the crossing of the Luce Line. If connected, traffic could go
south bound from the lights at country road 6. After crossing the Luce
Line; the traffic would curve around on a new, S-shaped 8th avenue and
connect with Harbor Lane and on south to Gleason Lake Road.
The proposal that the council is considering can be done with or without
the connection across the Luce Line. The neighborhoods would prefer not
connecting it. The developers would prefer not connecting it. The
planning staff at city hall believe we should have that connection due to
some theory about appropriate traffic flow. The public safety people at
the city want the connection to provide a second entrance into what would
be a long dead end.
I think the connection is a bad idea. I'm concerned about non -local traffic.
I'm concerned about the safety of people on the Luce Line. I'm concerned
about the foot traffic on Fernbrook and connecting streets in my
neighborhood.
The planning commission supported us in opposing the completion of
Fernbrook. They recommended a compromise. They suggested a cul de sac
on the north and south of the Luce Line and an emergency access across.
This could consist of removable posts that would allow foot and bike
CIM NOV 4 '91
T-3
traffic but would
prevent cars going through. I consulted with a fireman
who tells me that bolt cutters are
a standard required item on fire
trucks
and that firemen
often have to cut
a padlock or chain to get entry to
areas.
Their trucks are
also equipped to
push minor obstacles like wooden
posts
over if they need access. I think
this emergency access would be a good
approach to our
problem.
The planning commission only recommends - the city council decides.
We are on the agenda for Nov. 4 - the night before election day-. We
have less than two weeks to try to influence these council members. So,
one more time, we need phone calls, letters and people at the
meeting. It is relatively easy to call the "voice mail" numbers and give
your opinion any time, night or day. A letter to the council delivered early
enough will be copied for all the members. I would love to see 20 or 30
people get up at the meeting and briefly state opinions.
Here are the things I will include in each of my communications:
1) 1 support the Harbor Woods proposal and 2) 1 oppose completing
Fernbrook across the Luce Line. My arguments on the second item will
stress that a) there is no need for the road; b) additional traffic would
create more danger -to public safety than the dead end; c) traffic would
find the connection indirect and confusing. I will also argue that the only
serious reason for completing Fernbrook - the need for access for safety
vehicles - can be met by putting in an emergency access with removable
obstructions on the north and south of the Luce Line.
I am simply repeating the arguments made by many of you. They have been
good arguments. The planning commission was convinced. Now we need to
convince the city council. Don't feel that, because some of us have already
said it, that we don't need to say it again. If you agree with these
concerns, then please write and call. Quantity of public concern counts,
especially right before an election. One more push! Hope to see you at the
meeting.

TO: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT: SPECIAL RECYCLING COLLECTION HELD OCTOBER 26, 1991
Saturday's special collection for recycling was well received by
the City of Plymouth. Over 620 vehicles came through, dropping off
magazines, tires, household appliances, Goodwill items, and scrap metal.
The comments were all very positive. Many people wanted to know when
the next recycling collection would be, and frequently made comments
like, "We really appreciate this," and "What a good service for the
residents of the city." The small charge for appliances and tires was
well accepted; many people had expected to be charged even more for
those materials. Five Jaycees helped from 9:00 in the morning until
1:00 in the afternoon. They worked on directing traffic, unloading
cars, loading the Goodwill truck, and unbundling magazines. The City
crew worked hard setting up the site, getting the flow of traffic going,
and unloading appliances. All this helped ensure the safe, efficient
flow of traffic. No participant had to wait for more than a few minutes
to drop off materials. By 4:00 in the afternoon the City crew had the
site cleaned up except for the scrap metal which was collected on Monday
and the Goodwill trailers which were also picked up on Monday. We could
expect an even bigger turnout if we have a similar collection day in the
spring. It would be possible to have this type of collection two times
a year; once in the spring and once in the fall. Residents would become
accustomed to a particular day being a cleanup/recycling day and would
save their materials for that purpose. Along with being a service to
residents of Plymouth, the tonnage of the materials collected will count
toward the City's recycling goal.

SUBJECT: WATERMAIN FLUSHING
Attached is a memo from Bob Fasching, Sewer and Water Supervisor,
concerning our watermain flushing operation which has been underway over
the past several weeks. You received an inquiry from Mayor Bergman on a
question he received from a citizen on why two people were required to
do this work.
I believe Bob's memo outlines the major reasons why a two person work
crew is required. Although there are times when the employees have to
wait for the water to run out of the hydrant, in most instances this
time is relatively short, less than five minutes. During this time the
work crew is doing the record keeping which is required to document
which mains have been flushed. Also, they are reviewing the next
section of work.
If there are any additional questions, please let me know.

DATE: October 29, 1991
TO: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works
FROM: Bob Fasching, Sewer & Water Supervisor
SUBJECT: TWO MAN CREW TO FLUSH WATER MAINS
Here are some of the reasons we use two men to flush the water mains:
1. There are several times a day when we leave a hydrant open and flush
different lines by closing and reopening valves at intersections. When
one man is changing valves, the other man stays by the hydrant for safety
reasons. Many small children come around to watch the water flow.
2. It is virtually impossible for one man to attach the ten foot long by six
inch diameter tube to the hydrant nozzle and put the end up on the saw
horse. We use this tube several times a day to direct the water down the
street or to avoid sod damage.
3. A hydrant is usually open five minutes or less to clean most lines unless
we are cleaning a feeder line which can take up to 20 minutes to clean.
Therefore, there is not a lot of time for our people to sit and do nothing
as it appears to these homeowners.
4. The real hard work comes in operating the gate valves. A value has to be
closed and then reopened later in the day. On an average day, 25 to 50
valves are operated twice. I can verify from experience that some valves
turn hard and you get a very sore shoulder.
5. The most important part of the job is to think and plan so that valves are
shut off in the proper order. If any mistakes are made, either people are
put out of water or a line does not get cleaned. This planning is much
better done by two men comparing ideas.

Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Executive Board Meeting on 10/09/91
1) A copy of the 1991 Plymouth Community Profile: the Human
Factor is available at Plymouth City Hall. It contains
demographics and narrative summaries on Plymouth residents
and their use of human services. All Councilmembers,
Plymouth employees and Plymouth residents are encouraged to
check into this valuable resource. Contact Jackie Watson in the
Planning department if you need assistance to access this
Profile. Please feel free to contact the Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council office at 493-2802, or
contact Christina Stomberg at 550-0020 if you have any
questions, concerns or would lice additional resource
material.
2) A response to Councilmember Vasilou's question at
the Plymouth city council meeting on 10/07/91 was complied
and is enclosed. The question was an expression of concern
that valuable human service dollars were being spent to
replicate pre-existing surveys. In an attempt to ensure that
NWHHSC does not contribute to this concern, they have put
together a Publications List of current survey's and reports
they have completed. The list also functions as an order
form so if anyone is interested in a resource they can use
the list to place an order.
3) Continued discussion of the revised NWHHSC
Constitution and By-laws. A final vote is scheduled for the
November 13, 1991 meeting.
4) Presentations of "Success by 6" 3rd quarter report,
and the completed " Working Poor" survey.
5) The response to the newly opened Point NW for
runaway youth far exceeded everyone's projections once schools
opened in August. A benefit for this very needed service is
scheduled for December 10, 1991 at 7:00pm and 10:00pm at the.
Fine Line Cafe in Minneapolis. Invitations will be sent in
the upcoming month.

SUBJECT: CALL ON 24-HOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE
Larry Clark, 3720 Wellington Court, called the Customer Service
Line on Saturday. He requested a prompt response regarding the
recent street reconstruction billing notice which was mailed to
affected residents. Mr. Clark said that the letter is confusing.
He noted that there was no indication of payment terms, i.e.,
duration of the loan. He asked that this be treated the same as
a credit card in that residents understand interest rates, terms,
penalties, and total amount due.
He requested two things.
1. A specific response to him regarding the duration of
terms if he elects to have the bill added to the property
tax.
2. This issue be readdressed to all property owners so that
each one understands the terms of the billing.
Please handle this by Friday, October 25 and advise me of action
which has been taken so I may note it in the customer service
log.

SUBJECT: 1991 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 102
Dear Mr. Clark:
Thank you for bringing to our attention your concerns about the standard
notice which you received on the 1991 Street Reconstruction Project
assessment hearing. The City of Plymouth is required to follow the
Minnesota State Statutes (Section 429) when notifying property owners of
both the initial hearing on improvements and the subsequent hearing on
assessments for all proposed city public improvement projects. We regret
the confusion which has resulted from the notice concerning the payment
terms.
One question which has been raised by many property owners receiving these
notices is that of the November 15 date. The State of Minnesota prior to
1991 required that all levied special assessments adopted any one year be
certified to Hennepin County on or before October 10 of each year. The
State Statutes require that if the assessment is paid:
1. Within 30 days after adoption of assessment by the City
Council - no interest is charged.
2. After the 30 days, but before November 15 - interest is
accrued on the assessment from the date of the adoption to
December 31 of the year in which the payment is made.
3. After November 15 - interest will be charged from the date
of the adoption through December 31 of the succeeding year.
Beginning in 1991, assessments are now required to be certified to
Hennepin County on or before November 30. The November 15 date was not
changed.
The 1991 Street Reconstruction Project, if adopted by the City council on
November 4, will be certified to Hennepin County on the last possible date
allowed by law (November 30). What this means is that if the assessment
is paid:
1. Within 30 days after November 4, 1991 - no interest will be
charged.

Page Two
2. After the 30 day period (which is after November 15) -
interest will be charged from the date of the adoption
through, -.December 31, 1992.
In this case, because the 30 day interest free period ends after November
15 the option of paying an assessment and only being charged interest to
the end of the same year has been eliminated.
The other issue you have raised pertains to payment terms. I am enclosing
a payment schedule based on terms which are being recommended to the City
Council for their approval at the November 4 hearing date. Because the
City Council has the option to change the terms of the assessment prior to
adoption, we feel that giving property owners the recommended terms along
with the hearing notice would be more confusing than not.
If this letter has failed to clarify your questions and concerns, please
contact me at 550-5073.

Dear Mr. Paschke:
..M: 1
Thank you for submitting a Public Service Counter Customer Comment Card. In
you card you expressed concern regarding the ability to mail in permit
application materials and payment for associated permit fees to our office.
Permit application forms and supporting materials can be mailed directly to
our office, however the City does not accept any checks or payment for the
following reasons:
We found that in the years past, many checks submitted with permit
applications did not accurately reflect the actual cost of the permit
fee, furthermore, the City did not want to place itself in a position
of assuming any responsibility for any check lost by mail.
Many contractors falsely assumed that the mailing of the permit fee
granted authorization to begin work prior to the issuance of a
required permit.
The submittal of checks by mail would place an administrative burden
on our clerical staff to properly track, monitor and process all
permit application materials received.
If you have any further questions please contact me at 550-5031.

SUBJECT: LETTER OF RECOGNITION
Dear Greg:
CITY OF
PIYMOUTR
\0
You are being awarded a letter of recognition for the exemplary manner in
which you handled a fraudulent theft case involving an attempt to steal over
$16,000 worth of cigarettes at the Minter -Weisman Company in Plymouth.
On October 4, 1991, you became aware of a fraudulent order placed for
cigarettes at the Minter -Weisman Company. Since you are the owner of a
trucking firm associated with deliveries from Minter -Weisman, and widely known
by company employees as a Reserve police officer for the City of Plymouth,
your assistance was requested.
You contacted a member of the Plymouth Police Department to alert us to this
suspicious activity. You were asked to coordinate a police response in the
event that the suspects showed up for the fraudulent order.
When the suspects arrived and loaded their truck, you notified responding
officers of the identification of the truck, including license number, and the
direction of travel. In fact, you were following the truck prior to the
police arrival.
All three suspects were arrested and have been properly charged with felony
theft. One of the suspect's has 27 pages of prior arrests! He was scheduled
for sentencing on another criminal matter in Hennepin County on October 8th.
The history of this one suspect includes aggravated robbery, narcotics
violations, burglary and a shooting incident.
Your affiliation with the Plymouth Police Department as Chief of the Reserves
and that common knowledge among work associates was definitely instrumental in
the prevention of a large theft and the apprehension of the suspects.
Congratulations on an outstanding job!

SUBJECT: LETTER OF RECOGNITION
Dear Dan:
CITY OF
PUMOUTR
You are being presented with a letter of recognition for the outstanding
manner in which you handled a recent serious personal injury motor vehicle
accident.
On October 10, 1991 you were assigned as the patrol shift supervisor. At
approximately 5 a.m., you responded to a report of a rollover accident on
County Road 47 at Interstate 494. You were the first officer to arrive on the
scene.
You located one person, who was dressed in a police officer's uniform,
severely trapped and constrained in the vehicle, which was upside down with a
crushed roof. The victim was identified as Eugene Miller, a rookie police
officer from the City of Savage. Officer Miller was unconscious at the time.
After assisting officers, paramedics, and tow driver's arrived, you supervised
the extrication of Officer Miller. In fact, you went one step further. You
were the one that directed the stabilization of the vehicle off of the ground
while you personally pulled Officer Miller through the opening between the
door and the frame. I certainly understand that this was a vast team effort
by all the various organizations present.
Nevertheless, you were the one that directed the overall operation, and at the
same time pulled Officer Miller to safety. Even though he suffered a broken
neck and other serious head injuries, the backboarding and care provided by
you and other emergency providers has saved Officer Miller from a life of
partial or total physical impairment.
In recognition of your lifesaving efforts, the Chief of Police from Savage has
sent our department a letter of appreciation and a certificate of commendation
to you.
Congratulations on the exemplary and meritorious manner in which you
performed.

Dear Council Member Vasiliou:
After the City Council Meeting of October 21, 1991, I felt it
necessary to write and clarify a couple of issues regarding the
submittal for the additional parking request at the Vicksburg
Village Apartments. Being a resident of Plymouth and also a
builder/developer, doing a lot of work within the City of
Plymouth, I am extremely concerned with the image of Welsh
Construction that has been portrayed by Mr. John Ploetz of
Morris, Fuller, & Seaver, P.A.
Metropolitan Life insurance Company is the Owner of the Vicksburg
Village Apartments and has contracted with Morris, Fuller &
Seaver as their local representation for the approval process in
obtaining approval for the additional parking areas at the
Vicksburg Village project.
Welsh Construction has been contracted as a consultant for this
work due to our familiarity with the project and our excellent
working relationship with City staff. Because of this
relationship, Welsh Construction worked with the City staff and
submitted the requests for amending the conditional use permit
and the variances required for this proposed project and is
therefore listed as the applicant for these changes. Mr. John
Ploetz has been representing the Owner in both the Planning
Commission and City Council proceedings. He does not represent
the interests or opinions of Welsh Construction or Welsh
Companies, Inc.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss
this issue in greater detail at your convenience. You can
contact me either at my office (829-3416) or at home (593-0881)
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting with you.

Dear Vern:
CITY OF
PUMOUTR
I'm writing to request Hennepin County's assistance with a serious milfoil
problem the City of Plymouth is currently battling. During 1991, we have
identified milfoil in Medicine Lake, Schmidt Lake and Parkers Lake. In
working with the DNR staff back in June, we were able to treat early milfoil
problems at Medicine and Schmidt Lakes. We were not able to treat Parkers
Lake in 1991, because of its extensive nature, surrounding the entire body of
water. Late this fall, the DNR informed us that they identified an additional
68 acres of milfoil in Medicine Lake. Because of the cold weather and
lateness of the season, this infestation was unable to be treated as well. We
face the prospect of entering 1992 with approximately a $10,000 problem on
Medicine Lake and an additional $10,000 problem on Parkers Lake. One would
also assume that we are susceptible to additional milfoil outbreaks at Schmidt
Lake again and other lakes, such as Bass and Gleason. I've discussed this
problem with Commissioners Jude and McKowski, so they are well aware of the
seriousness of the problem.
We have been successful this year in pooling our money with lake shore
residents, Hennepin County Parks and the DNR to pay for the treatments we
administered in 1991. In 1992, the City will again make some funding
available, and I'm 'sure Hennepin Parks and area residents will again
contribute toward milfoil treatment. But, because of the magnitude of the
problem we have already identified, the cost will greatly exceed our currently
known resources. For this reason, on the City's behalf, I would like to
request that Hennepin County consider a grant in the amount of $15,000 of the
$150,000 pool money which has been earmarked for fighting milfoil in Hennepin
County. This money will be used for the two infestations that we have
identified on Parkers and Medicine Lakes, which will require spraying next
spring.
Please let me know if I need to provide any additional information for you or
your staff. If you would like specific details on the problems we are
currently facing, I recommend you contact Tom Sax, of the DNR staff, at 297-
8021. If I can be of further assistance, you can reach me at 550-5131.

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR EXTRA PATROL AT HIGH SCHOOL
Dear Denis:
Thank you for your letter. I have sent a copy to the Patrol
Division Commander requesting that this information be
disseminated during regular briefings to our Patrol personnel.
It is perhaps coincidental that I received a similar request for
extra patrol this week from Pilgrim Lane Elementary School. In
my response letter to Principal Roger Evans, I pointed out to him
that we have only one uniform officer assigned to the district
that Pilgrim Lane is located. That district is similar in size
to the entire City of New Hope. Armstrong High School is also in
this same area as Pilgrim Lane.
The long and short of it, Denis, is that we cannot provide any
consistent response to your request. The best that we can do is
to patrol in the school area when we are not tied up on calls for
service or other directed patrol assignments. I would encourage
you and your staff to call us when specific problems are
occurring and an immediate response is necessary.
Again, thank you for taking the time to write. The specific
times and areas that you have highlighted will be shared with our
Patrol Division.

Hopefully this will deter our students from engaging in activities/behavior
which encroaches on the well-being of our students and/or our neighboring

about. The absence of any activities or problems by our students should
not, in my opinion, suggest that we no longer need monitoring.

Hughes Appeal of Fire
Plymouth
On October 21, 1991 the City of Plymouth heard an
appeal by Robert and Vincent Hughes from a Fire Code
Compliance decision. The Hughes' are the owners of a
commercial building housing Party Mart Liquor Store. The
Hughes' have not received a written decision on their
appeal, however, the City Council verbally stated that the
appeal was denied. In order to avoid any questions
concerning timeliness of an appeal from the decision, this
letter is your notification that the Hughes' hereby appeal
the decision by the Plymouth City Council concerning Fire
Code Compliance in the basement area of the Party Mart
Liquor Store. I am certain the City will provide you with
specific information, however, in the event additional
information is required from the Hughes' feel free to
contact me.

Dear Janice:
PCf
PLYM0UTFF
I was sad to see your resignation from the Plymouth Advisory
Committee on Transit. I appreniate though, that if you are not
using the service, there isn't much sense in being on the
committee. I hope that your reason for no longer using the
service has nothing to do with operational problems. If you
start using the service again in the future, you are certainly
welcome back as a member of the Plymouth Advisory Committee on
Transit. On behalf of the Plymouth City Council, thank you for
your contributions to our community through your service on the
Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit.
