2. ELECTION RESULTS -- A copy of the official summary
election results is attached. (I-2)
3. PROPOSED PLYMOUTH LIBRARY -- Last July 1, Attorney Robert
Lindall and I appeared before Judge Kevin Burke for the
purpose of obtaining an order approving the petition and
appointing commissioners, and an order authorizing the
early transfer of title and possession of the property
for the proposed library. At that same hearing, we
agreed to develop a written stipulation confirming
various matter relating to the acquisition, most
particularly dealing with how any unused developable
portion could be reacquired by the Cavanaughs. Since
that time, Mr. Lindall has not been able to obtain an
executed agreement from the Cavanaughs. As a result, he
has petitioned the Court for a hearing on September 17,
at which time the Court will be requested to issue an
order approving the condemnation petition and appointing
condemnation commissioners, and providing the City the
right to take possession of the property.
4. ITT BUILDING (505 WATERFORD) OWNERSHIP TRANSFER --
Attached is an article from the September 2 issue of City
Business, reporting that Ryan Construction Company and
Northwestern National Life Insurance Company (NWNL) have
transferred ownership of the 505 Waterford building to
the Aetna Life Insurance Corporation. This action
apparently was required because Ryan was unable to obtain
long-term financing for the structure in the current
economic climate. (I-4)
5. SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING -- Last evening the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) interviewed four of the
architectural firms which had responded to the RFP for
the development of a concept design. Following the
interviews, the HRA selected the firm of Arvid Elness
Architects, Inc., of Minneapolis for the assignment. It
is expected that the architects will commence their work
immediately in order to meet the goal of having their
concept design completed within a month. The HRA also
plans to have at least one public meeting at which time
seniors and other Plymouth residents will be invited to
comment upon the concept plan. Both the HRA and the
Council, at a joint study session earlier this summer,
agreed that input would be needed from the community to
determine the need and adequacy of the proposed facility
to meet the requirements of Plymouth seniors, as well as
a better determination of the overall costs of the
project, including ongoing subsidies, to the Plymouth
taxpayers. A copy of the Arvid Elness Architects
proposal is on file in Milt Dale's office. Attached is
an extract from their proposal which outlines the
background of the firm and their approach to this
assignment. (I-5)

6. I-494/COUNTY ROAD 6 INTERCHANGE -- Attached is a
memorandum from Fred Moore in response to inquiries on
the opening of the County Road 6/I-494 interchange. Fred
advises that the interchange will not be open until the
traffic signal is operational. The signal should be in
operation by mid-September. (I-6)
7. CLOSURE OF COUNTY ROAD 6 WEST OF COUNTY ROAD 101 --
Hennepin County has posted a sign on County Road 6 at
approximately Olive Lane informing motorists that County
Road 6 will be closed beginning September 16. The County
has a drainage culvert under County Road 6 approximately
one-half mile west of our west city limits which is
collapsing and must be replaced. The County estimates
that it will take approximately one week to replace the
culvert and reopen the roadway.
During the road closure, County Road 6 will be detoured
onto County Road 101 and Highway 12. There are no local
streets within Plymouth to bypass the detour although we
can expect increased traffic on Ferndale Lane which does
connect with Wayzata Boulevard.
8. 1991 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM - Mary & Farrel
Horton, 218 Union Terrace Lane -- The attached memo from
Fred Moore is in response to an inquiry received by
Councilmember Vasiliou from Mary and Farrell Horton. The
Horton's have a concern with the location of the roadway.
Fred indicates that a meeting will be held in early
October with all property owners affected by this road
improvement to review the final plans. (I-8)
9. ZACHARY LANE SCHOOL - SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS -- Last May the
City Council directed that additional signing, flashing
beacons, and a marked crosswalk be installed on Zachary
Lane between the Zachary Lane Elementary School and the
Zachary Lane Playfield. All of the work, as directed by
the Council has been completed and the flashing beacons
were operational on Tuesday, September 3, the first day
of school.
The City Council also adopted a resolution requesting
MnDOT to undertake a speed study on the safe and
reasonable speed for Zachary Lane. The study requested
by the City was from County Road 9 to 46th Avenue. MnDOT
has completed the study and they studied the area from
Rockford Road (Old County Road 9) to 46th Avenue.
Attached are letters received from MnDOT on their
determination of a reasonable speed limit. They have
reduced the speed limit from 45 mph to 40 mph between
Rockford Road and 300 feet south of 46th Avenue. The
signs on the revised speed limit have been installed.

10. FOLLOW UP TO ZONING ORDINANCE VIOLATION - 17320 STATE
HIGHWAY 55 -- The attached memorandum from Myra Wicklacz
gives a synopsis of the events taken place at this
property. An inspection of the site on August 19 by a
City building inspector found numerous signs and piles of
miscellaneous items offered for sale. A correction
notice was issued on August 21 informing the property
owner that a transient merchant license was required in
addition to a permit to allow the signage and outdoor
sales. The police followed up on the complaint on August
23 and issued a citation to the property owner's son for
selling merchandise outdoors on property not owned by him
and without a Transient Merchant's license. Additional
information on Myra's discussions with the property owner
is included in her memo. (I-10)
11. MEDICINE LAKE EURASIAN MILFOIL -- Additional areas of
milfoil on the east side of Medicine Lake have been
confirmed by Hennepin Parks staff. A memorandum from
Eric Blank is attached on plans for treatment of the
area. (I-11)
12. UNITED WAY REPORT -- Attached is a report from the United
Way of Minneapolis which documents the demographic,
economic and social trends in the Twin Cities area. (I-
12)
13. MORE ACRONYMS -- Local government types have long known
the usefulness and sometimes even fun of developing
acronyms. We all know that "nimby," means "not in my
backyard." An offshoot of this is "nimtoo," which stands
for "not in my term of office." As might be expected,
another has come to us from the United Kingdom. The new
acronym is "banana," and stands for "build absolutely
nothing anywhere near anyone." I thought you might enjoy
this for a little lighter side of local government today.

PRIVATE STREET TASK FORCE CHARGE
June 17, 1991
(As Adopted by City Council)
Objective
The Private Street Task Force is to independently reexamine what,
if any, responsibility the City should have in private street
maintenance and make recommendations to the Council on this
subject, including the type of responsibility the City should
have, if any, which streets qualify for city assistance,
conditions and costs of such assistance, statutory authority for
city actions, and the method for implementing task force
recommendations.
Composition
The Task Force will consist of four residents whose homes are
served by private streets, and four residents whose homes are
served by public streets. An effort will be made to achieve
geographic representation in the community. The Task Force will
receive staff support from Fred Moore, Director of Public Works,
who will be a Task Force member.
Process
The following is a proposed outline of the process the Task Force
may wish to use to accomplish their objectives:
1. Review previous reports, minutes, and correspondence from
Special Assessment Committee inquiry on this question.
Receive report from Public Works Director and/or Special
Assessment Committee members on this topic. Interview
private street interests as appropriate. Review annual city
street maintenance costs.
2. Answer the following questions:
a. Does the property owner living on a private street
have any claim on public funds for street maintenance
purposes?
b. If so, where should such funding come from?
c. Define the legal authority for such funding?
3. Tentatively identify alternatives which the City could
consider with respect to private streets.
4. Determine what data is needed to evaluate the alternatives
and how that data can be secured.

SUBJECT: SOLID WASTE ADVISORY TEAM MEETING
Dear FirstName:
— 5�
A meeting of Plymouth's Solid Waste Advisory Team is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
on Thursday September 26 1991 in the City Council Conference Room at the
Plymouth City Center. It has been quite some time since the group has met,
and there have been many changes in the areas of solid waste and recycling in
recent months. One major change for the City of Plymouth is that I have
taken over the responsibilities of Solid Waste Coordinator from Dick Pouliot,
who has done such a good job for the City since the program began. I know
this team has been a valuable resource for Dick, and I hope I can count on
you to continue that support as we work to keep Plymouth in the forefront of
responsible solid waste management.
Some areas we will be covering in the upcoming meeting are:
o Update on Recycling Program changes
o Funding municipal recycling next year and beyond
o Special collections of recyclables (household goods,
appliances, magazines, etc.)
o Moving on (commercial recycling, adding materials, yard waste
composting, innovative collection, etc.)
I look forward to meeting you for what should be an interesting and
productive evening. If you cannot attend, or no longer serve as a member of
the team, please contact me Mondays through Wednesdays at 550-5085.
Sincerely,
Marjorie E. Vigoren
Solid Waste Coordinator

Dear City Official:
rn - 10
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 I-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.
Si rely,
M yorDuane aun

Re: Senior Citizen Housing
Concept Design
Dear Mr. Willis:
In response to your request, we are very happy to submit the following information
regarding our firm and experience. We believe that we are uniquely qualified to provide
the city of Plymouth conceptual planning and design services for a new senior citizen
housing project. We have extensive experience in all levels of independent living
including entry level cluster homes, congregate apartment housing and assisted living
facilities. Our project experience work is in both private sector financing and all HUD
insured programs available to development since 1975. We have interior design services
as a component of our firm and we have worked very closely with home health care, adult
day care, and respite programs.
My personal experience as partner in the design and development of Villa Park, a 100 unit
senior condominium development in Roseville, as well as Elder Homestead, one of the
nation's first assisted living facilities in Minnetonka, has provided me a special expertise
in the market. As a director of both facilities, I have been involved with the projects
operations, marketing and management activities since 1985. As architect for the
facilities, as well as over 15,000 additional units of housing in the past 15 years, I have
gained significant insight to the senior industries.
As a regional director of the National Association of Senior Living Industries (NASLI), I
have been able to travel extensively and become acquainted with the emerging trends in
housing and the care of our older people. The Elder Homestead project, which was
developed in conjunction with General Mills and the Wilder Foundation, became a
national prototype which led to the definition of assisted living as we understand it today.
Rosewood Estate in Roseville was a second generation of the same concept. It was equally
successful and is the model operation for many developments today utilizing a licensed
home health care component as the medical care provider in a residential apartment
environment. Additional facilities have been designed for this area and will be under
construction this year.

Site master planning as a continuum of care has become a focus of our recent work. One of
our active clients is the Minnesota Masonic Home (MMH) in Bloomington. This campus
plan will become one of Minnesota's first complete CCRC communities. The 80 acre
campus will include; cluster homes, congregate apartments, assisted living units, and a
new and remodelled skilled nursing facility (SNF). Eight cluster homes are now open
and renting very successfully.
Our experience in congregate senior housing and supporting HUD programs began in
1975. Many of these projects are listed in the accompanying brochure. We have worked
closely with all programs available that support both non-profit and for-profit
developments. As a result of this, we are very familiar with the regulatory procedures and
policies for the design of these facilities. Please note also that much of our work is in scale
with your projected needs. Our most recent activity similar to your proposed facility has
been the four projects under construction in Dakota County with Mark Ulfers. The sites for
these senior facilities, completed or under construction, are in Lakeville, Burnsville,
West St. Paul, and Eagan. In these cases, all brick building costs have been less than
$45,000 per unit which could represent a substantial savings to your current budget.
Our approach to your project would follow the pattern of initially having workshops where
we can all exchange information openly and each become familiar with the site issues,
market, and current day thinking in this type of housing. We can share with you our
experience in working specifically with congregate and assisted living programs in other
communities. You will note that all of our work carries a very high standard of
residential character and is predominantly of the 3 story and less height. This approach
offers significant savings. in construction cost and has proven to be very marketable to the
older person. The lower building should not represent any higher maintenance cost if the
materials selected are a a quality appropriate for their intended need. After determining
the functions and uses of the site to accommodate potential phasing, we will then assist you
in actually planning facilities that meet your programmed needs.
We anticipate that the conceptual work proposed might represent nearly half the time
normally budgeted for schematics. We can be flexible with an established budget but
remain confident that all work can be provided on an hourly basis not to exceed $12,000.
All or any portion of this amount used would be credited toward schematic design should
we be selected to complete the remaining work. The conclusions would be presented in a
presentation format suitable for reproduction and convey the concept and spirit of a new
senior facility in Plymouth. Other than normal reproduction cost we would not anticipate
any additional expenses. We would assume that Ehlers and Associates would be available
for discussion during this period and that we would have access to information and data on

file with the city. We will bring to the sessions, data, insight and knowledge gained
through research obtained from NASLI and other agencies with whom 1 have been very
active.
The schedule for completing stages are:
1) The first week should be focused on the overview of the market and the type of housing
concepts most appropriate to seniors in Plymouth. A lot of product was produced in the
1980's, most all of which is now filled. Strong opinions have been formed as to what
should be built in the 1990's. This might be a workshop or round table discussion.
2) The second week should focus on concepts which allow review of features, definitions,
and analysis of site conditions. A review and exchange of ideas at this point would be
very helpful with staff and focus groups if possible.
3) The third week and remaining time should be directed at the building concept and unit
layouts in order that the final product can be presented on October 1, 1991. These plans
should be reviewed by your team and discussed before we develop the presentation
format. .
If selected for your work, I will provide you a personal commitment to be involved in your
project. I have asked Kirk Velett, Associate to assist in Project Management and serve as
Project Architect. Both Kirk and I have worked closely with the seniors programs in our
office and we will bring a great deal of talent and experience to your project.
Please review the information contained in our brochure and feel free to discuss with me
any matters related to its content. Thank you for this opportunity to present ourselves.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: August 29, 1991
TO: James G. Willis' _C'ty Manager
FROM: Fred G. Moore, erector of Public Works
SUBJECT: I-494/COUNTY ROAD 6 INTERCHANGE
Councilmember Vasiliou, you, and our department have received several
inquiries regarding the opening of the County Road 6/I-494 Interchange.
This interchange will not be open for use until the traffic signal
system is complete and operational. It is expected that the traffic
signals will be completed and in operation by mid-September.
It is my understanding that some citizens have called MnDOT and they
have stated that MnDOT is telling them that the City is delaying the
opening of the interchange.
In actuality, it is the fault of the City that there is a delay (I will
take the blame), except MnDOT did not notify us that we were responsible
for providing electric power to the new traffic signals.
The following is a summary of events which have taken place on the
traffic signals:
o Summer 1988: The City completed the design on
reconstruction of the bridge over I-494 and for County
Road 6 between Fernbrook Lane and Xenium Lane. As part of
this plan, the design for traffic signals at the future
ramps for the interchange were included. Since the ramps
had not been constructed, the County would not include the
installation of traffic signals with the bridge
reconstruction undertaken by the City. The signal at
Fernbrook Lane was included.
o December 1989: The City approved an agreement with MnDOT
for the construction of the interchange ramps along with
MnDOT reconstructing the interstate from Carlson Parkway
to Highway 55. The traffic signals were not included as
part of this agreement.
o May 1990: I sent a letter to MnDOT requesting that they
amend their construction plans and include the
installation of the traffic signals. They were also sent
a copy of the 1988 plans.

o Summer 1991: MnDOT begins construction on the traffic
signal system. No agreement had been presented to the
City for the improvements, and therefore, I thought that
MnDOT had determined that they or the County would install
the signal system.
o The first week of August 1991: I was contacted by the
project engineer that they were waiting for the City to
supply power to the traffic signal system. After several
telephone conversations with representatives of MnDOT, I
learned that based upon my May, 1990 letter, an agreement
for the installation of the signals between MnDOT and the
City had been prepared. As of this time, no one knows at
MnDOT what happened to the agreement, but it never was
presented to the City for approval. Also, MnDOT installed
the traffic signals based upon the 1988 plans.
o As part of the bridge construction project, NSP relocated
the power line from the south side of the roadway to the
north side of the roadway. This was done in 1989. MnDOT
used out of date plans to install the traffic signal
system, and therefore, there was no source of power
immediately available to their traffic controllers for the
signal system.
o After contacting NSP, it was learned that additional
underground wiring would have to be installed as part of
the traffic signal system in order to get electric power
from the relocated power line along the north side of
County Road 6 to the traffic controllers on the south
side. To complicate matters, we are dealing with two
divisions of NSP since they have a boundary line along the
center of I-494.
o A drawing was prepared and submitted to MnDOT on the
additional traffic signal work. MnDOT received a
quotation for their contractor to do the work. This
quotation was slightly higher than the MnDOT central
office would approve, and therefore, further negotiations
were required with the contractor in order for them to
arrive at an agreed to price. I received confirmation
from MnDOT on August 27 that they had agreed to the extra
construction cost and authorized their contractor to
proceed with the work. I also verified with both
representatives of NSP that they had established a work
order to establish power to each control cabinet after the
contractor completed the installation of the underground
wiring.

TO: James G. Willis, !City Manager
FROM: Fred G. Moore', i Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: 1991 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
INQUIRY FROM COUNCILMEMBER VASILIOU
CITY PROJECT NO. 102
You gave me a copy of a drawing which Councilmember Vasiliou had
received from Mary and Farrell Horton of 218 Union Terrace Lane. This
street is part of our 1991 Street Reconstruction Program. This drawing
had originally been provided to them by Dan Campbell, Senior Engineering
Technician. The Hortons had corresponded back with Dan Campbell on June
9 concerning the location of the roadway.
As directed by the City Council, the engineering staff and the
consulting engineer have been meeting with representatives of the
property owners on the final design of the street reconstruction within
the Ivanhoe Woods area.
In addition to meetings with the property owner's representatives, Dan
Campbell had several telephone conversations with the Hortons. He
informed them that the roadway had been moved further westerly from the
original drawing, but it could not be moved as far west as they desired
because of damage which would be caused to the property along the west
side of Union Terrace Lane.
The staff and consultant had their third and possibly final meeting with
the representatives of the property owners on Monday, August 19. They
went over changes which had been made from the previous meeting. There
are still some issues regarding drainage which are being addressed as
part of the final design of the project. The representative from this
portion of Union Terrace Lane was made aware of the Horton's concern and
will contact the Hortons so they can also be aware of the other concerns
along the entire roadway. We will also be holding a meeting with all
property owners the first part of October in order that all property
owners can be aware of the final plans.
Please let me know if you need any additional information to respond to
Councilmember Vasiliou.

Re: Speed Zoning - City of Plymouth
Zachary Lane
Dear Mr. Moore:
Reply to:58ol Duluth Street, Golden Valley, M1 55422
Telephone No. 591-4605
The speed zoning study for Zachary Lane between CSAH 9 and 46th Avenue which was
requested by the Plymouth City Council in Resolution 91-256 has been completed. As
discussed with you previously, we have recommended authorization of the following speed
limit for Zachary Lane:
40 mph - between old CSAH 9 and a point approximately 300 ft. south of the
intersection with 46th Avenue.
Although it was not part of the council's request, the segment between old and new CSAH
9 was included in the study (with your verbal permission) to achieve greater speed limit
continuity.
Our recommendation is currently being reviewed by Mn/DOT's office of traffic engineering
in St. Paul and a speed limit authorization should be issued within the next few weeks. As
discussed, we stated Plymouth's preference for a 30 mph speed limit in our recommendation
so that it may receive further consideration before a final decision is made.
In our judgment, however, the study results cannot support a 30 mph speed limit and we
were therefore compelled to recommend the 40 mph alternative. Some driver reaction will
_ be necessary to permit safe use of the crosswalk by those crossing to the east, but there is

adequate sight distance to achieve that reaction. Also, the inplace advance signing should
reduce driver reaction time when pedestrians are present in the crosswalk.
Copies of the radar speed samples obtained during the study are enclosed for your
information. If there are questions concerning either the data or our recommendation,
please contact Ed Brown at this office (591-4617).

SUBJECT: Mervin Swigart Violation
You asked for a synopsis of the events that have taken place at Mervin
Swigart's property at 17320 State Highway 55.
Based on your complaint of August 16, 1991, Don Munson scheduled Arnie
Rasmusson to inspect the site on August 19, 1991. Arnie found a number of
signs located on the property and piles of miscellaneous items offered for
sale scattered throughout the property. Arnie issued a correction notice
which he placed on the mail box. The correction notice referred to the
removal of the painted signs and the items in the yard which are in violation
of Section 10, Subdivision A and of Section 7, Subdivision C and Section 10,
Subdivision C of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance respectively
On August 21, 1991, I talked to Mr. Swigart about this correction notice and
informed him that transient merchants required a license and in addition that
the Zoning Ordinance did not allow the signage or the outdoor sales without a
permit. I sent Mr. Swigart copies of the Transient Merchants License form,
the outdoor sales permit application form, a copy of City Code Section 1140,
and the Sections of the Zoning Ordinance referenced above.
On August 22, 1991, I forwarded a copy of the complaint report to Sergeant
Larry Rogers so that he and/or his officers could follow up on the violation
to the City Code Section 1140 (which is a Police action).
On August 23, 1991, Officer Luke Way issued a citation to a Robert James
Swigart (who is Mervin Swigart,s son) for selling merchandise outdoors on
property that is not owned by him and without a Transient Merchant's License.
Officer Way referenced Ordinance 1140 as the ordinance in violation. Mr.
Swigart came to the counter later that day to obtain some clarification as to
why his son was cited for violation to the ordinance. John Keho explained
that the correction notice pertained to those Zoning Ordinance items, as I
referenced above, and he informed him that the citation that was issued by the
Police was in regard to the violation of the City Code.

I talked to Mr. Swigart briefly yesterday, August 28, 1991, but not
specifically about how he could obtain a Transient Merchant's License or the
necessary permit for outdoor sales on his property. Other than our discussion
yesterday it has not been indicated to me that Mr. Swigart is planning on
applying for the Land Use Permit to allow outdoor sales on his property, nor
has it been indicated to me that his son or the other two persons assisting
him selling materials on Mervin Swigart's property will be applying for a
Transient Merchant's'License.
It has not been confirmed whether these three individuals are still selling
the merchandise on the site, however, Mr. Swigart informed me yesterday that
these three individuals do spend some time at the site during the day and
during the night. i've also been informmed that the signs are gone, but that
all the materials still exist on the site.
At this point in time this is the current status of this property, however,
the future may reveal other code problems on that site pertaining to zoning
and City Code regulations.

SUBJECT: MEDICINE LAKE EURASIAN MILFOIL
I received a call yesterday from John Barton of the Hennepin Parks staff who
informed me that they have found some additional areas of milfoil on the east
side of Medicine Lake. He indicated it was also necessary to retreat a little
bit of the area that was treated earlier in the spring. On this new
treatment, the DNR will pick up 50% of the cost, and the remaining 50% will be
split between Hennepin Parks, Medicine Lake and Plymouth. It is estimated
that our share will be in the range of about $250-$300. This treatment is
planned for the latter half of September. I will keep you and the Council
informed on this matter as further information becomes available.

The Face of the Twin Cities was developed by the United Way of Minneapolis Area
to document demographic, economic and social trends in the Twin Cities area and
explore their implications for health and human services. It is intended as a resource
for those responsible for planning and financing health and human services, including
public officials, community leaders, private service providers and foundation officals.Because the
trends presented have impact beyond the human service arena, this report also can provide valuable
insights to students, the media and planners in other fields.
Users of The Face of the Twin Cities will find the report beneficial in two key ways: as a
convenient compilation of statistical data relating to health and human services, and as a source of
insight on the impact these "numbers" have, or will have, on people living in the Twin Cities area.
The statistical data was compiled by the United Ways Research and Planning Department from
a variety of government and community sources (see Bibliography). After preparing their own
analyses and interpretations of the data, they presented their report to United Ways Environmen-
tal Scan Committee, chaired by Marvin Borman. Committee members included community ex-
perts in the areas of health, education, economics, government, business, human services and
philanthropy (see page 4).
The committee members were asked to review the Research and Planning staffs report and
then identify on-going and emerging community issues and problems, and the driving forces behind
these issues that will affect health and human services in the 1990s. Because of their extensive
experience and knowledge in their fields, the observations of the Environmental Scan Committee
help provide a portrait of the Twin Cities area that statistics alone might not reveal.
In most cases, the information presented in this report relates to the entire Twin Cities met-
ropolitan area. However, in situations where it was possible to focus on smaller areas, United Way
logically chose its own service area, which includes Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin and Scott
Counties. For the purposes of this report; these five counties are referred to as the "West Metro"
area. References to the seven -county Twin Cities metropolitan area include the five counties
mentioned plus Ramsey and Washington. (See Map.)
7af-If VE
wo driving forces in the Twin Cities communitywill profoundly affect health and human
services: deepening community segregation along income, race and geographic lines;
and the on-going disintegration of traditional institutions, such as families and neigh-
borhoods. They are the forces behind such growing Twin Cities issues as deepening
poverty, high youth unemployment, a declining quality of education and increasing competition
for health and human service resources.
Although most people in the Twin Cities area will maintain or improve their standards of living
during the 1990s, people with low or no incomes will find it increasingly difficult to overcome their
circumstances. Health and human service agencies will be challenged as the groups at greatest risk
for social and economic problems grow in size and severity of need.
Population Trends
As the area's overall growth rate slows, the biggest challenges facing social service agencies in
the 90s will result from changes, rather than increases, in population. These changes include: l) a
geographic shift in population from the central city and first -ring suburbs to the outer suburbs,
2) a growing population of color, and 3) an aging population.
Key Trends
• The city of Minneapolis will continue to lose population, while suburban Hennepin, Washing-
ton, Anoka and Dakota Counties will have the largest population increases.
• Differences in income, age and race between the central cities and the outer suburbs will continue
to widen.
• The population of color will grow faster than the general population, will remain disproportion-
ately low-income, and will remain concentrated in Minneapolis.
• The number of elderly persons 85 and over will increase by SO percent between 1980 and 2000.
• As the baby boomers age, the 35 to 49 age group will become the largest age group.
• The"babyboomlet,"anincrease in births tobabyboomers,will decline *in the 1990s as baby boomers .
move out of their child-bearing years.
• The number of people ages 15 to 24 will continue to decline as the "baby bust" generation ages.
Economic & Employment Trends
For social service agencies, the overall economic prosperity of the Twin Cities metropolitan
area during the 1990s is likely to be overshadowed by other economic and employment trends that
may increase needs and create funding challenges, including. l) a slower growing, more diverse work
force; 2) a greater concentration of employment opportunities in low-paying industries and out-
lying areas; and 3) widening economic disparities, resulting in a deepening of poverty.
L
CIM SEP 06 '91
Key Trends
• Fewer new workers will enter the labor force each year, causing labor shortages in some
occupations.
i
*Work places will become more diverse, with fewer white males and more women and people of
color entering the work force.
• The counties surrounding Hennepin County will experience the highest employment growth
i rates, but the majority of jobs will continue to be located in Hennepin County.
• Employment will grow fastest in the low-paying service and retail trade industries.
• Growth occupations will include the high -paying professional and technical category and the low-
paying service category.
• Household incomes will continue to increase, but the income differential between higher- and
lower-income farmlies also will increase.
• Relative to the general population, more people of color and more female -headed households will
live in poverty.
Social Trends
Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro area have a strong tradition of providing compassionate,
accessible social services. However, as economic disparities widen and as geographic and racial
segregation increases, more people will likely need help coping with: 1) changes in the family make-
up; 2) deteriorating living conditions for growing numbers of children and youth; 3) education and
health care systems that do not effectively serve those at greatest risk; and 4) increasing crime rates
among disadvantaged youth.
Key Trends
• The number of single -parent and single -person households will continue to increase and the
average household size vill decline.
• American Indian and African American households are three to four times more likely to be single -
parent and female -headed.
• Single -parent and single -person households in the West Metro area will be increasingly concen-
trated in Minneapolis and its first ring suburbs.
• The number of children living in poverty will continue to increase.
• Education levels will remain relatively high, but students of color may not attain levels as high as
white students.
• Overall crime rates will remain relatively stable, but juvenile crime will increase.

Mr. Rudy Boschwitz
5401 East River Road
Minneapolis, MN 55421
Dear 114r. Boschwitz :
Thank you for your letter about street reconstruction in your
area. I can certainly appreciate that it has been inconvenient.
We expect that the majority of work in your area will be wrapped
up by the end of next week.
The City has had a pavement management program since 1987.
Through the program, the City identifies roadways which are more
cost effective to reconstruct rather than consistently repair.
In short, the program staggers street reconstruction so that
taxpayers and city officials will not find themselves in future
years with an aging infrastructure of which a great percentage
needs to be reconstructed simultaneously.
As part of our program, we conduct a street evaluation survey of
all public streets in Plymouth every two years. Each street's
condition is rated. Some streets are slated for minor repair or
resurfacing. Others, like yours, are scheduled for
reconstruction. The City Council typically approves two orthree
areas for reconstruction each year.
We recognize that street reconstruction is inconvenient to
residents. Still, we believe it is in the best interest of
taxpayers to keep up with the reconstruction of deteriorating
streets -- and its associated costs -- now rather than later.
If you have any more questions on the street reconstruction
program, I invite you to contact Senior Engineering Technician
Dan Campbell at 550-5073.
Thanks for your letter and your concern.
Sincerely;

Dear Mr. Ford:
I am sorry you were unable to attend the Charter Commission last
evening. Chair Tierney noted your excused absence to the members
present.
I am enclosing a couple pieces of information which were
distributed to the members. The first is a copy of an editorial
which appeared in a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal
dealing with letting the voters make fundamental decisions

Let -ing Voters Decide
Connecticut is now vi Day 47 of
its Budget Hostage Crisis. The legisla-
ture and an apparent majority of
voters don't want to create a state in-
come tax; Connecticut is one of 10
states without one. Governor Lowell
Weicker, a prickly indE )endent, in-
sists on using an income tax to close a
$923 million deficit. Last week he ve-
toed a non -income tax budget for the
third time and ,the legislature again
failed to override him. Perhaps the
way to break Connecticut's stale-
mate—and others that well no doubt
develop elsewhere—is to let the people
decide the issue in a referendum.
Governor Weicker, elected with
only 40076 of the vote last ear, insists
that only an income tax c. --,i truly bal-
ance the state's budget and that the
issue of government sp ;ding is a
"red herring" in the deb-..Ze. Legisla-
tors say that the issue goes beyond
this year's budget. "Once state gov-
ernment has a claim on our pay-
checks, it will never give it up," says
M. Adela Eads, the GOP State Senate
leader. States without an income tax
also tend to have more economic
growth than states with one. As an al-
ternative, the legislaturE would ex-
pand the sales tax to a variety of new
products.
Tom Scott, a former st.a!e senator,
says opposition to an incot,ie tax isn't
coming from those who would pay the
most under it. Legislators from afflu-
ent Greenwich and Stamford are the
biggest supporters of an , ii:ome tax.
Many of their constituer r, already
pay a hefty state tax on inr>!stment in-
come; that might be low, red with a
broad-based income tax. ''it's middle-
income and working peoie who are
fighting this, Mr. Scott told us.
To break the budget grit lock, some
legislators have indeed suggested let-
ting the people decide on an income
tax in a referendum. Last y mr, Bruce
Morrison, the Democratic candidate
for governor, said such a major
change in state finances shouldn't be
made without consulting the people
who would have to bear tl.e burden.
But Mr. Weicker, an heir to the
Squibb drug fortune, is o;,enly con-
temptuous of popular democracy.
"We're not going to run the state by
referendum," he says. "That comes
every four years, and it's ;211ed an
election."
Yet 22 states, mostly iii the West
and Midwest, provide for 0,rect voter
lawmaking. As their resid,.,nts see it,
representative government is impor-
tant, but there are times v hen an en -
holden to special interests and refuses
to solve pressing policy issues. Then
the people should step in and do the
job themselves. California's Prop 13 is
only the most notable example.
The right of initiative does not
have to be absolute. Some states place
limits on it. Nevada requires any new
law to be approved twice by voters be-
fore it takes effect. Massachusetts re-
quires that any measure be submitted
first to the legislature for a vote; only
if it is rejected can it go on the ballot.
Sometimes, the voters also fail. By
passing the tax -cutting Prop 2% in
1980, voters thought they had con-
tained the growth of Massachusetts'
government. Michael Dukakis proved
them wrong.
Although mangy states have proven
the value of initiatives, their potency
means that most legislators in states
without them bitterly oppose the idea.
New Jersey provides a recent exam-
ple. Voters are furious at how Gover-
nor Jim Florio rammed through a re-
distributionist tax increase using the
state income tax that was first im-
posed in 1976. Anti -tax groups say the
only way to keep state spending under
control is to vest the people with the
power to change laws directly.
For years, Republicans have sup-
ported adding a right of initiative and
referendum (I&R) to New Jersey's
constitution. In 1986, the measure
passed the State Assembly only to die
in the Senate. But some GOP legisla-
tors want it both ways. They publicly
back I&R, but privately hope Demo-
crats will defeat and keep the law-
making power in Trenton.
Last month, Democratic Senate
leaders who opposed I&R forced the
Republicans to put up or shut up.
They moved to approve a GOP -backed
initiative bill. Last year the Senate's
GOP caucus had unanimously voted to
get the same bill out of committee,
but this year seven GOP Senators
switched sides and defeated I&R.
Such double-dealing by the state's Re-
mocrats and Depublicans will only
fuel voter support for the idea.
Popular democracy is more than a
way for voters to check the excesses
of arrogant elected officials who make
it nearly impossible for voters to oust
them. If Connecticut and other states
deny voters a chance to express their
will on key issues, they risk creating
an electorate mirtA in cynicism and
alienation. Allowing the right of initia-
tive would put voters once again in
control of their destiny and would rep-
resent a legitimate extension of the

Dear Ms. Vierling:

Recently the City Council reviewed our memberships in various
organizations, including the Suburban Rate Authority (SRA). At
the conclusion of the City Council's discussion and deliberation,
they indicated serious concern with respect to our continued
participation in the SRA beyond 1992. The Council adopted a
motion indicating that the City will terminate its membership
with the SRA effective January 1, 1993. This notice is being
sent to you well in advance of the June 1992 requirement in the
Joint Powers Agreement in order that you and the membership may
be aware of the intent of the City Council.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

FROM: Laurie Rauenhorst,y Clerk
SUBJECT: REDISTRICTING UUUU111�
September 3 marked the end of the appeal period to the State's
redistricting plan. Cities now have 60 days in which to complete
post -redistricting.
Staff is using the 1990 census block data and considering factors
such as handicapped accessible polling locations with sufficient
parking, ease in voting, election equipment, and future
population growth in establishing new precinct boundaries in
order to achieve precincts of workable size. In addition,
precinct boundaries cannot cross legislative boundaries.
Although new boundaries must be adopted within 60 days, the
existing precinct boundaries will be used for the November local
election and the 1992 Presidential Primary. The new boundaries
will take effect for the 1992 September Primary Election and all
voters will be notified of their new precinct assignment prior to
that election.
The court has taken under advisement a request for extension of
the 60 days in which post redistricting must be completed by
cities, but we should anticipate providing the Council with a
proposed reprecincting plan the beginning of October.
