CSM SEP 06 c AUG August 27, 1991 Dear City Official: M_ tv I wish to extend a cordial invitation to attend the League of Minnesota Cities' regional meeting hosted by the City of Lakeville Monday, September 30, at Brackett's Crossing Country Club, 17976 Judicial Road. We believe the LMC has saved the best for the last regional meeting of 1991. The afternoon program will begin at 2:30 p.m. and conclude at 5 p.m. It will focus on personnel issues, including pay equity/comparable worth, veterans preference in hiring and fed- eral withholding information (W2's versus 1099's, along with the defined contribution plan for elected officials.) The presentation regarding pay equity/comparable worth is especially important now because the law calls for compliance by December 31, 1991. Personnel from the Internal Revenue Service will make a presentation on payroll withholdings. You are urged to include among your attendees the person or persons responsible for your fire department payroll because the July 1 law regarding Social Security and Medicare will affect salaries earned by firefighters. The social hour and dinner will begin at 6:15 p.m., followed by the evening session. LMC President Pete Solinger will discuss the League's goals for the coming year. Included will be a League video on 1991 legislative decisions, their effect on cities and future implications. A discussion on the future of property tax relief funding will follow. The meeting will conclude with door prizes, including a free registration to the 1992 annual conference June 9-12 in Bloomington. We extend a special invitation to you to tour our new City Hall at 20195 Holyoke Ave. Tours will be available all afternoon, beginning at 1:30 p.m. and continuing through 4:30 p.m. A map that points out the location of City Hall and Brackett's Crossing, along with detailed directions for reaching Brackett's, is printed on the reverse side of this letter. To reach City Hall from 1-35, exit on Highway 50. From Cedar Avenue, take 202nd Street west. To make reservations for your city, please return the enclosed registration form as soon as possible. The first 150 people to register will receive a special commemorative gift. If you must cancel any registrations, please notify Vicki Ennenga (469-4431, extension 203) by September25. Your city will be billed for those who do not attend and did not cancel their reservations prior to that date. We look forward to seeing you on September 30.

Myra Wicklacz has advised me of at least two p one call she had received reporting the same problem. Last Wednesday following the Planning Commission meeting, I visited the site and confirmed that secondary lighting that is installed on the two parking lot lightpoles in front of Rainbow results in glare discernible in the Swan Lake West Subdivisi n and as traffic is southbound on West Medicine Lake Drive coming down the ill from Swan Lake West. On Thursday, August 31, 1991 I informed Vince Driessen of Ryan Con truction that the lights were without question in violation of the glare provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and they should be turned off until they are either relocated or redirected. Vince agreed to do so. As of this morning, (September 3, 1991) the lights were not on even though the balance of the parking lot lighting was. The lights in question do appear on the Site Plan illumination sheet for this project, and are a feature of both the Rainbow at Waterford Park Plaza and the Cub in Plymouth Center. The purpose of the lights appears to be twofold` first to provide illumination of the pedestrian area in front the store from a safety perspective (remembering the stores are open 24 hours a d ys) and, provide illumination of the front of the store itself. I believe, ind Vince agrees, that lights can be reoriented or relocated to accomplish both of these goals without the glare over the top of the building into both Swan ake West and on to West Medicine Lake Drive.

COMMENTS ON METROPOLITAN COUNCIL 1992 BUDGET AND WORK PROGRAM Enclosed is a copy of the AMM comments to the Metropolitan Council concerning the Council's 1992 Budget and Work Program. As many of you know, the AMM generally is the on1X organization that analyzes the Council's proposed budget and provides comments at the Council's public hearing on the document. If you or your city would like to provide input, the public hearing on the 1992 Budget and Work Program is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, 1991, in Council Chambers at the Mears Park Centre, 230 East Fifth St., St. Paul. AMM member Phil Cohen, Brooklyn Center council member, specifically has solicited support for the AMM position requesting the addition of a comprehensive study to determine resources needed to address neighborhood and community revitalization. That recommendation is on page 4, paragraph 3 of the report. B. ESTIMATED 1992 AID AND RELIANCE FOR METRO CITIES Enclosed for your information is a list of the various aids each metro city will receive in 1992 and the total of those aids in dollars and as a percent of the total 1991 City Revenue Base, which by law is the same as the 1992 Revenue Base. The LGA for 1992 is final, HACA is the latest estimate from the Department of Revenue, and Equalization and Disparity Reduction Aid (DRA) are 1991 amounts which should remain nearly stable. Also note the recap page, which compares metro and Greater Minnesota totals in dollars and reliance. k!'—"� C.

GW SEP 13'91 183 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227-4008 .r I Loin PKI). ,3 IN I allall a r rawallimm —16M.alar l SECTION I. GENERAL COMMENTS The Metropolitan Council has an annual budget of approximately $15.4 million an its programs impact the two million -plus people living in the metropolitan area. The proposed 1992 budget reflects a 3.64 percent reduction over last year budget. The AMM realizes that this budget contains real, not symbolic, cuts. Should fu reductions be necessary in the future, we offer the following to serve as guides deciding what areas under the Council's purview should be examined: A. The issue or concern being addressed is significant to the well-being of the area. B. Council intervention or activity will make a real difference or have an imp C. The Council effort is not a substitute for state level activity nor does it dupb state level efforts. D. The Council is the most appropriate agency to intervene or perform the ac The AMM notes and appreciates the Council's position regarding tight economic ti nes and the manner in which it developed its budget. The AMM recognizes the difficul decisions the Council made in reducing its work force, but realizes that the reduction was done in conjunction with other prudent accounting methods such as funding only for the number of persons who are employed rather than including a 5 percent vacancy factor. The AMM respects the Council's position that it examine all employment areas under its control before devising a reduction in force plan, noting, too, that it was able to re- hink and reinstate positions it had originally wanted to delete after an argument could be made for keeping them. The AMM is mindful that the document includes the reduction in full-time equiva employees from 210.60 FTE in 1991 to 194.45 in 1992 (supplement document pri by Council staff). We are pleased that the 1992 budget proposal reflects fully func positions, not figures that include a 5 percent vacancy rate factor as was the case i previous budgets. We know that reductions were not made in haste, but only after measured against several criteria: 1. The opportunity to consolidate functions. 2. The reduction in the level of functions provided. 3. A change in workload. 4. Streamlining to enhance efficiency. 5. Council priorities. 6. Suggestions from different departments that contributed to rei across-the-board so no one department would be hit harder than Ml GIM SEP 13'91 s� The proposed budget includes several one-time expenditures such as a loan to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission to help fund work on non -point source pollution. Some of the expenditures reflect the final phase of linking information systems, computer changeover completion and a reduction in out-of-state travel and conventions. The AMM notes, too, that the Met Council is working to stabilize its reserve because it needs the reserve to adequately finance projects in the absence of short-term borrowing an because bond rating agencies look to reserve when issuing ratings for bond sales. The AMM is aware of growing role that the property tax plays to support Council activities. Federal grants formerly funded about two-thirds of the Council budget and local property taxes about one-third. The federal portion now has shrunk to about 20 percent and the property taxes has increased to more than 60 percent. (This year's property tax levy is about $8.6 million.) SECTION II. PRIORITIES The Council has targeted five priority areas (p. ii) for 1992. To recap, they are: 1. Transportation/Transit Issues. Concerns 1. the development of a total transit picture for the metro area, and 2. continuation of the airport siting project as charged during the 1989 legislative session. 2. Solid Waste Management. Providing leadership in developing a solid waste management system for the region that protects the environment, is economically responsible and spurs cooperation. Work will include coordination with county commissions regarding landfill siting process. 3. Water Resource Management. Developing criteria to reflect a greater reliance on surface water versus groundwater. Met Council staff report recommends adding water resource management as a system under the Council's control. 4. Revisions in the MDIF Framework. Looking to include physical and human services programs. 5. Housing. Planning to revise housing chapter and incorporate points of the housing report. The Council also plans to examine the questions/impact of shared services arrangement, and a regional 800 megahertz public safety service network. The AMM is concerned about the development of water resource management - and possible housing - as a system. While we agree that there should be plans for long- and cart ui-:cc, -- t,— —1 - would have the chance to exercise complete authority over a city s water usage. We also 2 CIM SEP 13'91 are are mindful that Council's actions could duplicate state agencies' authority. We cat that the Council explore all avenues and provide reasons, not arguments, to create system for water resource management. The AMM notes the study of a regional public safety broadcast network, having suggested its inclusion as an additional activity during last year's discussions on the budget and work program. The AMM believes that a coordin. broadcast clearinghouse is an appropriate venture for the Metropolitan Council. Regarding the study of the development of joint delivery of services by local governments, the Council should recognize that joint operating agreements or consolidation of services are not a panacea to maintain the same level of services as tax levels decrease. The Council should be wary to view and present them as such. Ev denc has shown that when a joint delivery of services makes sense, cities engage in them. They are occurring naturally, as they should. The AMM is pleased that the Council has included some suggestions from previo commentary that certain programs be eliminated from the work plan, specifically f indir for the arts, and specific criminal justice and social services. The AMM realizes th Lt the latter two programs are interwoven in other areas of the Council's work plan, as th y should be. The Council should make a through examination of the programs formerly funded by federal grants or non -local funds to determine if they are still necessary and worthwhile when only local dollars are involved. By using the criteria we outlined previously, we suggest that the Council should seek to divest itself of services if such services are performed by state agencies for the balance of the state, or seek state funding for ose services. The annual budget and work program document has improved in recent years and contains more detail and specificity that enables public interest groups to make mo e reasoned recommendations than previous documents, but further improvements c be made. Mandated or non -discretionary projects, programs and activities should be identifi . Projects, programs and activities which may be discretionary but are totally or mostly funded by a federal or state grant also should be identified. More information needs to be provided as to previous years' expenditures and progress for on-going programs, projects and activities. It is appreciated that the Metropolitan Council is open to discussions regarding its and work program and is willing to discuss areas affected by changes in the econo picture. However open tlais process is, ti;ough. more informauc-,) stili is need for "stakeholders" to respond intelligently to the budget and work program. =- c1M Sp 13'91 S7 Within the budget document itself, we again would ask that the Council indicate dedicated and discretionary funds. We believe that the Council should categorize the strategies outlined in its work program such information as whether the activity is required, optional or has dedicated funding. While we realize that dedicated funds and their sources are included in revenue sections of the budget document (p. 18), the actual allocation of dollars within a department can be less clear. We are aware that in previous years the Council's Management Committee was provided a document that separated the strategies into four main categories: R=required by law, regulation or other commitment; DF =dedicated funding; PN=practical necessity, or 0 --optional. This information should be contained in the budget/work program document itself to provide interested parties with that information. In these tight economic circumstances and given the greater reliance on property taxes, the AMM again strongly urges the Council to incorporate some system of identifying the source of dollars and types of programs in its budget/work program document. The AMM is concerned, however, about the Council's decision to curtail out-of-state travel for conventions, workshops and other staff development activities (p. iv). Questions could be raised on this issue. The Metropolitan Council's role as a leader in regional governance must be maintained. To do so means key personnel must be allowed to travel to conventions to gain a national appreciation of regional governance. It is noted that the Council in no way curtailed local outreach to metro officials in helping them learn/review matters of concern to the Metropolitan Council. The AMM also strongly urges the Council to include in its 1992 Human Services work program a comprehensive study of resources needed to address neighborhood and community revitalization such as housing, education, health and human services, transportation, and jobs and job training. The AMM believes as the "global community" concept moves into the metropolitan area, the Council would be the appropriate forum in which to address the social and cultural changes in the coming decade. The question of funding is absent because this should not require additional dollars; rather, a change in emphasis to be assured that certain aspects of quality of living conditions were included when discussing revitalization of neighborhoods and communities. If, however, additional revenue were required for addressing this issue, the AMM believes the Council itself is best able to determine where to capture funding by examining and paring lesser priority programs. SECTION IV. CONCLUSIONS The AMM, once again, is pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the Council's budget process, and appreciates the cooperation and assistance provided us by Council staff.

The Recycling Task Force will reconvene on Friday, September 20, 1991 with the charge to study and make a recommendation to the County Board by April 1, 1992 for a five-year funding policy beginning in 1993. There was no reference in the resolution to abatement goals for 1992; however, the two-year funding policy drafted 1990 required an 18% abatement goal in 1992 to receive 80Z funding.

Rd. 6 and the corner house at 15900 -14th Ave. N., both of which had tall grass and weeds growing out of recently laid sod. The new sod was furnished because the County is redoing the Co. Rd. 6/Vicksburg Lane intersection in conjunction with Co. Rd. 6 widening. I sent the owner of each property a Notice which stated "Cut the tall grass and weeds that are over 8 inches in height, which are growing on the newly sodded portion of the boulevard as required by City Ordinance". I also sent our standard letter stating: "It is the responsibility of the abutting property owner to maintain the boulevard portion of the roadway". It states this ordinance went into effect on April 1, 1982. On the Notice, five days were allowed for the mail to be delivered, plus ten days for compliance, so a due date was set for September 13, 1991. cern SEP 13'91 Mr. Willis Sept. 3, 1991 Page Two August 29, 1991: Mr. Finn called and said "Since when do I have o cut the City's weeds?" I told him that the Boulevard 0 dinance was passed in 1982. He said "You'll hear from my a torney and hung up before I could reply". About 1/2 hour ater Mr. Finn came to our office. He asked for me and w en I went to the front counter he began raving about the bou evard weeds on Vicksburg Lane and about the County Rd. 6 Pr ject etc. I asked him how long he has lived at this house. He said "27 years". I said "Then you've cut our grass for 7 years". He said "What do you mean?" I told him that tho boulevard in front of his house is also City right-of-way and that he has been cutting it for 27 years. He said "Yes I have". I asked him why Vicksburg Lane was any different. He said "Because it has a sidewalk". I told him that it doesn't make any difference if there is a sidewalk, it s still the abutting owners responsibility to maintain the boulevard. He left our office and said "You'll hear form mi attorney. Sept. 3, 1991: After receiving your request for information rej matter, I drove by Mr. Finn's residence. Someb< the boulevard.

They have incurred costs for cleanup, as well as damage to property - furniture in the area, baseboards, and sheetrock. Mrs. Josephson indicated that the City has been notified of the drainage problem in their rear yard previously, as recently as last April, and they wrote the City a letter regarding this same problem this summer that was not responded to.

Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release, investigate the extent cf the release and take actions needed to ensure that the release is cleaned up. A person is generally considered legally responsible for a tank release if the person owned or operated the tank either during or after the release. We are aware that an initial investigation of the site has occurred a d petroleum contaminated soils and/or ground water have been identified The MPCA staff is therefore requesting you to take the necessary steps to investigate and clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed PCA technical documents. If you have not already done so, we recommend that you hire a qualified consulting firm who has experience in conducting pet oleum release site investigations and taking corrective actions. The MPCA zequires that the site investigation fully define the extent and magnitude of 1he soil land/or ground water contamination caused by the release. We reserve the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. In addition, you must notify he MPCA within 24 hours if you discover free-floating petroleum product on th surface of the ground water. If you do perform the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establ shes a fund which in certain circumstances provides partial reimbursement fol petroleum tank release cleanup costs.

SEP 13 Mr. Craig Schendel Page 2 September 4, 1991 If you do not respond within 30 days, MPCA staff will assume you do not intend to comply with this request. In this event, the MPCA Commissioner may order you to take corrective action at the site. If you do not comply with the Commissioner's order, it may be enforced in court or, alternatively, the MPCA could spend its own money cleaning up the release and then seek to recover its costs from you or other responsible persons through legal action. Failure to cooperate with the MPCA in a timely manner may also result in reduced reimbursement from the Petro Board. If you conclude that the release in question is not from any tank which you have owned or operated, please notify the MPCA immediately and explain the basis of your conclusion. A packet of fact sheets is enclosed for your information. For site specific questions, contact the site's project manager, Barbara Jablonski, at 612/297-8581.
