2. HENNEPIN COUNTY SOLID WASTE TRANSFER FACILITY PUBLIC
HEARING -- Wednesday evening the Planning Commission held
a public hearing on the request of Hennepin County for a
conditional use permit and site plan for the Waste
Transfer Facility. Following the public hearing, the
Planning'Commission voted 6-0 to recommend denial of the
County's request. Representatives of Hennepin County
have subsequently been in touch with Chuck Dillerud and
indicated that they may request that this matter not be
scheduled for an early Council meeting until they can
further evaluate the Planning Commission's
recommendations, as well as projections of the waste
stream. It appears that the amount of solid waste being
generated in Hennepin County is being reduced which could
possibly have an impact on the timing for the facility.

SUBJECT: NORTHWEST BOULEVARD - 56TH AVENUE TO 54TH AVENUE
CITY PROJECT NO. 106
Dear Sir LastName:
On March 18, 1991, the City Council ordered the preparation of plans and
specifications for the construction of Northwest Boulevard from 56th
Avenue to 54th Avenue. The City's consulting engineer has nearly
completed these plans and we would like to share them with you and
receive your comments. A meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, May 2
at the Plymouth City Center beginning at 7:00 p.m. for this purpose.
The improvement will consist of a four lane undivided roadway, curb and
gutter, storm sewer, watermain, and an eight foot wide bituminous trail
along the east side of the roadway. Access will be provided along the
east side of Northwest Boulevard at 55th Avenue, future Bass Lake Park,
and 54th Avenue. Along the west side, access to the proposed Bass Lake
Terrace Subdivision will be provided at 55th Avenue and 54th Avenue. A
future phase of Northwest Boulevard, tentatively scheduled for 1992,
would extend Northwest Boulevard south from 54th Avenue over the
railroad tracks to proposed Schmidt Lake Road.
A graphic of the proposed improvement is enclosed for your information.
If you cannot attend the May 2 meeting, we would be happy to discuss the
plans with you at your convenience. Please contact either me at 550-
5071 or Dan Campbell at 550-5073, if you have any questions or need to
make special arrangements.
Sincerely,
Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E.
City Engineer

The Plymouth Historical Society has quite a few family histories on file. We welcome people to come and look at them,
which may help you trace family rots. The following is a copy of one of the histories on file:
The family of Frederick and Christina Radintz. Left to right: Ella, Tena,
Bertha, Mary, Hannah, Henry, Herman, George, Lena and Elizabeth.
FREDERICK RADINTZ
Frederick Radintz was bom in Prussia, June 29, 1828. At
the age of 18 he became a shepherd. tt was in the year of
1852 when he was 24 that he deeded to sail to America,
the land of plenty. His reasons were like the other early
pioneers -- to escape poverty and have adventure.
After six weeks on the ocean in a sail boat, he landed in
New York. From there he traveled to northern Michigan to
work in the copper mines. After a year of mining, he
decided to go to Australia. When he got as far as Buffalo,
New York, he heard there was yellow fever raging on the
boats. Upon hearing this he decided to return to the mines
for another year, which he proceeded to do. After that, he
went to Chicago and worked as a laborer on some
construction work. One of the workers on the job became
ill with cholera and died. The man's widow could not find
anyone to put her husband in his coffin, so he volunteered.
He received 50 cents for the job and then purchased a pint
of whiskey which he shared with a couple of other men.
Cholera was on the rampage in Chicago at that time and
since it was contagious to the utmost, Frederick Radintz
was ordered out of the hotel to sleep in the bam as he had
been in direct contact with the disease. He did feel ill for a
few days but recovered and left Chicago for Galena, It.
From Galena he took a boat up to St. Anthony where he
worked in a shingle mill the first winter and later, dug wells.
It was in 1854 that he arrived in Plymouth Township to
build a little log house which he referred to as his shanty.
This land on which the shanty was situated was
preempted by him November 24, 1860, consisting of two
parcels of land, first the E 1/2 of SE 1/2 and Lot #3 of
Section 30 and on the same date, lot #4 of the same
section. The first parcel contained 128.60 acres and the
second 39.98 acres. It was obtained on a Warrant of
1855, which permitted settlers to obtain land west of the
Mississippi River. This land had formerly belonged to the
Fort Snelling Reservation. The buying price was $1.25 per
acre as was required by law. According to government
laws, no one could preempt more than 160 acres. As his
land exceeded that amount, he had to relinquish
Government lot #4 and his brother Ferdinand took up that
portion. His brothers William and Herman and a sister,
Mary, had recently come from Germany. Evidently,
Ferdinand had either come with Frederick or later.
Frederick married Christina Schnable in 1857. She was
bom in Baden, Germany in 1833. Her parents died when
she was a very young girl so she made her home with an
aunt and uncle. In her later teens, she got the notion of
migrating to America. Her plea was that she wanted to go
where her children could always have plenty to eat. Her
aunt and uncle listened until she was 19, when they gave
her passage money and she left. She arrived in New York
in the early 1850's and went directly to Ohio where she
stayed with friends for awhile and then journeyed to Iowa
where she worked a few months.
From Iowa she went to Galena, Illinois and took the boat
up to St. Anthony. There, she secured a pb doing house
work for Major Fridley and stayed until she married, two
years later. For her wedding present, Major Fridley gave
her her wedding dress and a cow; so she and her husband
could start farming with a total of three cows.
(continued)
APR 2-6 ?P*
When Frederick and his bride arrived at his preempted
farm in Plymouth, the small cabin served them as a home
until the family grew and he prospered, so a larger log
house was built in 1872. The original structure still is a
part of the old Radintz home, which has been sold and
remodeled for the present owner. Frederick also bought
additional land.
The first log house was made of natural logs. The
shingles were hand made by himself. Their light was a
candle which always remained lighted throughout the
night. This was to guide lost travelers or a neighbor.
The Indians were quite numerous but not troublesome. A
tribe camped at Gleason's Lake in about 1855. After the
Sioux and Chippewa war at the Minnesota River near
Shakopee, the Chippewa's came through the territory and
one band stopped at Frederick's house and stole all the
bread from the oven.
They had 14 children born to them. They are as follows:
Hannah was the eldest. She stayed principally at home.
After her parent's death, she made her home with her
younger brother, Henry, on the old home place. She did
not many.
George went west for a few years but returned and took
up one of the father's farms, consisting of 142 acres. He
later sold it and made his home with his younger brother.
Henry, on the home place. Both George and Hannah
were laid to rest in Holy Name Cemetery in Medina
Township.
Ella married Charles Haeg, a farmer in Bloomington,
Minnesota. They had four children, Sophie, who marred
George Paul, Violet, who married Edward Kramer, and
Christine and Nina, who dies in youth. Ella was laid to
rest in St. Mary's Cemetery in Minneapolis.
Bertha married George Vierling, a cigar maker in
Shakopee, Minnesota. They had two children, George
and Stacy, both deceased. Bertha was laid to rest in the
Catholic Cemetery in Shakopee, Minnesota.
Herman married Amelia Klausman of Plymouth Township.
They lived principally in north Minneapolis. He worked in
a grocery store for many years. This couple had one son,
Arthur. Arthur married Ethel Hinds. They had one child,
Roland. Herman died in June 1951 and was laid to rest in
Crystal Lake Cemetery in north Minneapolis.
Emma died at the age of 23. She did not many
Fred died at an early age. Both Emma and Fred are
buried in Holy Name Cemetery, Medina.
Tena married William King from Germany. They lived in
north Minneapolis. He was a brick layer by trade. They
had one child, Howard, who now resides in Glendale,
California. Tena was laid to rest in Crystal Lake Cemetery
in Minneapolis.
Elizabeth married Charles Auge of Minneapolis. He
worked for the railroad. They had one child, Clarence,
now deceased. Elizabeth still resides (1954) in
Minneapolis and is 83 years old.
Sophie died at an early age and was laid to rest in Holy
Name Cemetery, Medina.
1--k-\o
Henry married Antoinette (Nettie) Mengelkoch; a
daughter of Clement Mengelkoch, another one of the first
settlers of Plymouth Township. This family
represents the first generation of two first settlers of the
Township of Plymouth. They lived on the Frederick
Radintz homestead and farmed until 1928 when Henry
retired and moved to north Minneapolis. He and
Antoinette are still living (1954), Henry being 80 years
old. They had seven children as follows:
Helen married Frank Lenzen of Medina Township.
She is now living in Long Beach, California. She had
two children, Frank and Antoinette.
Earl and George died in their youth and were laid to
rest in Holy Name Cemetery in Medina Township.
Ethel, a twin, married Robert Wilson of California. He
died in service in 1943. In 1953, she married Robert
Bailey of Minneapolis and is residing in Long Beach,
Califomia. They have no children.
Blanche, a twin, married Frank Edwards of
Minneapolis, where they now reside. They have two
children, Richard and Annette.
Mary married Kenneth Schiebe of Plymouth
Township where they now reside. This union
represents three first of Plymouth -- the Radintz,
Mengelkoch and Schiebe families. They have two
children, George and Marlene.
Katherine married W. Kent Corry of Cedar City, Utah.
They reside in south Minneapolis. They have two
children, Kathleen and Durrell.
Mary married Carl Keller. They made their home first ire
Minneapolis and later in Willow River, Minnesota. He
was a dealer in horses and live stock. Their one child,
Earle, is married and has four children.
Church was attended at Holy Name, Medina. The
Radintz place was known for many kitchen dances.
When the new grainery was built, they danced upstairs.
These dances were mainly for the younger people. The
older ones passed the time in visiting with each other.
They discussed their work, their children and problems
common to all.
Helping to carve a new nation out of the wilderness was
surely a tremendous job, but they always remembered
the bad conditions they had left in Europe and never at
any time did Frederick Radintz and his wife wish
themselves back in Europe. Frederick Radintz died at
the age of 81 in 1910 and Christine passed away at the
age of 73 in 1907. Both were laid to rest in Holy Name
Cemetery, Medina, Minnesota.
Written by Mary Radintz Schiebe,
Granddaughter of Frederick Radintz 7-10-54
NpIeL The Radintz home today can be seen on County
75a—Y6 west of Highway 101. It is located on the north side of
County Road 6 across from the pond west of Messiah
Methodist Church. It is the red house on the right when you
turn into Imperial Hills.

Nouse, Bait
The best, environmentally safe method is a trap. Load with peanut butter topped with a few
bird seeds. Place perpendicular to wall so the spring releases toward wall.
Insect Control Methods
Ants - Watch for a line of ants leading to food source; wash the area with warm soapy water
to destroy trail odor. Determine food source and securely repackage. Place bait attractants
such as mint jelly, peanut butter or honey in the trail to determine which ants prefer. Then
six 1 part boric acid and 50 parts bait and place in trail. Method is effective, but works
slowly.
Pleas - Vacuum floors, especially along carpet edges, baseboards, furniture and where pet
rests, since -fleas actually spend much of their time off the animal.
Plies - Eliminate breeding sites. Keep garbage cans clean and tightly covered. Clean up and
remove food -scraps and other organic debris which might serve as an attractant.
Garden Alternatives
Garden Insecticides - Alternatives include strong hosing or hand picking, and use of
insecticidal soap. Keep garden clean and remove weeds. .
Garden Herbicides - Use mechanical hoeing and mulch.
Household Cleaners
Oven L'leaner -_Warm.oven;• moisten; sprinkle. baking soda or salt on spills, and scrub. Works
best on fresh spills.
Drain Cleaners - Pour 1/12 cup baking soda down drain. After 10 minutes, add l/l cup warm
vinegar. After 15 minutes, flush with boiling water. Do not use this method after any
commercial drain opener has been used.
Toilet, Tub and Tile Cleaners - Baking soda can be used as an abrasive for most household
needs. For general cleaning, add 3 tablespoons soda to each quart of water.
Stain Removers
Rust - Scrub with lemon juice mixed with salt.
Grass - Soak in cool water.30 minutes. Make paste of laundry detergent and water and work
into stain. Launder in as hot a water as is safe for the fabric. Remaining stain may be
treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Better communication
for a better community
Being named the best community
association in Minnesota is the first of
many changes to come to Chelsea.
Board, management, committees and
neighbors have led the way from a truly
humble beginning to where we are today:
Number 1! Staying on top is going to
require better sharing of our common
purpose and concerns as neighbors living
in a community association. We're going
to need to communicate with each other
more frequently, and in a way that gives us
all an opportunity to be better informed
and to listen to one another. Hence, the
birth of Chelsea Woods Trails!
We perceive the mission of our newsletter
as three -fold:
1. to become the primary neighborhood
communication tool for the board
and residents,
2. to promote community spirit,
3. to present Chelsea Woods to the
surrounding metro area in a positive
and professional manner.
We'll be keeping you up-to-date on our
business news, but we'll have some fun in
the process by reporting on special events,
like ongoing Chelsea enhancement
projects, and on old and new
homeowners' in our midst. Also, we'll
bring you articles by 'outside experts'
such as: nursery managers, realtors,
interior decorators and veterinarians.
"The Chelsea Woods
'Trails'. A new look,
and a new beginning
for us all."
--Chuck Schrader
But, most important, we'll be asking for
input from YOU. Not just news, but
articles, too. For it's only in caring and
sharing, and in talking and listening, that
we respond humanly to each others'
needs and concerns. After all, the best
kudos we can get are not from the outside
world, but from our neighbors and friends
in Chelsea that recognize what's no longer
our little secret: that Chelsea is a fine
place to live!

18 year residents. Jack, a retired
president and owner of
Arrowhead Bearing Company,
and now an agent for Burnet
Realty, feels that Chelsea's
management is top-notch, and
that the beauty of our common
grounds' is even better. Jack
relates that after much contact
with other homeowner
associations, he has discovered
that the collective concern of
Chelsea's residents and board
make our community a unique
place to live and play.
Donna served a few years on
our board as chair of the
Personnel Committee.
John, a Psychology major at St.
Johns, Collegeville, carries a 3.5
grade average ,and will study in
Ireland next Fall.
The Keiffer's spend their time
traveling, playing golf and
working. It's people like Jack,
Donna and John that make
Chelsea a great place to live.

20 YEARS AGO...
Each home, each roadway, each
swimming pool in Chelsea was
placed with particular concern
for the environment as it existed
when the 94 acres were
purchased. A sales brochure
from the 1970's states that
because of this careful
environmental planning,
innovative architectural design,
and creative use of wood,
Chelsea was the recipient of the
American Wood Council's
"Design for Better Living" Award.
"The greatest
hazard to
communication
is the
assumption
that it exists."

NOTES OF PLYMOUTH FORUM
APRIL 22, 1991, 6:30 P.M.
1. John Danielson, 17030 12th Avenue North, expressed concern
about field rental fees in the City. He stated that a soccer
group was charged $2,500 for a two-day tournament last year
and the cost to participate in tournaments in Plymouth is
becoming prohibitive. Other cities are not charging similar
fees. He supports user fees for adults, but not for
children.
Mayor Bergman asked Park and Recreation Director Blank to
respond. Director Blank stated that tournament fees were
initiated when the playfields were developed in the early
1980's. Special use/tournament fees have been in effect
since 1981. Each year the Council reviews the fee schedule
and, historically, has adjusted for inflation and actual City
cost increases.
Director Blank stated there are exemptions to the fees. For
example, the Plymouth -Wayzata Soccer Club is exempt from
tournament fees if a tournament is considered an extension of
their regular program. However, fees are charged for an
invitational tournament.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated she doesn't view the policy as
"charging children" for using the fields. It is a fair means
of recovering the City's costs. She asked if the group
conducts fund raising.
Mr. Danielson stated about 10 percent of the participants'
fees are funded through scholarships. Fund raising is
limited due to little time available to do so. He stated
that the volunteers' time running the programs is valuable
because City staff members do not have to run the programs.
In response to a question by Councilmember Helliwell, Mr.
Danielson stated the cost per child is about $175 for regular
games for June and July. Tournament fees are additional.
2. Bob Rode, owner of 14332 21st Avenue North, appeared with his
tenant Brad McAlister. Mr. Rode stated that parking was
recently prohibited on both sides of 21st Avenue and
Fernbrook Lane which has created a difficult situation for
Mr. McAlister's business. He asked that the Council
reconsider its action and perhaps allow limited parking on
one side of the street.
Mr. McAlister stated his business requires trucks stopping at
the office to pick up dispatch information and permits, and
then leaving -- No loading/unloading is done. He stated that
CIM APR 2611
Z -7c...
Forum Notes

due to the layout of the site, it is difficult to accommodate
several trucks at the same time. At times, a truck is
delayed because it is blocked by other parked trucks. Mr.
McAlister asked that the parking restriction be amended to
one -side only. His firm would monitor the parking to ensure
it is done according to the signs posted.
Manager Willis stated the action to prohibit parking was
taken after the City received complaints of excessive truck
parking. Staff investigated and concluded that a public
safety hazard existed. He stated it has been the practice of
the City to not allow off-site parking because adequate on-
site parking should be provided.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated she will not support reversing
the previous decision to prohibit parking. This is not a
unique sitation, and the truck parking creates a dangerous
situation. She suggested that the issue be referred to a
study session for further discussion.
3. Merrilee Riley, I.S.D. 281 Board Member, appeared with Board
Member Keith Moberg. They requested that the Council
reconsider its previous position with respect to a proposed
bill which would allow a special levy for the District to
fund the school liaison officer program. She stated that
seven cities are served by I.S.D. 281 and the cities of
Golden Valley and New Hope currently provide liaison officers
in the schools.
Mr. Moberg stated that the District believes this levy would
equalize the cost between cities of providing the liaison
officers, and it is an efficient use of tax dollars.
Ms. Riley presented a copy of the District's Disciplinary
Policy and stated that the District is making a renewed
commitment toward enforcement of this policy. She stated
other cities have supported the proposed bill, and the
support of the City of Plymouth is desired as well. Ms.
Riley stated she believes the liaison officer program is a
logical extension of the D.A.R.E. Program, to which the City
of Plymouth is already committed. She stated a liaison
program would be more cost effective than the current method
of calling a police officer to the school when there is a
problem. There are other advantages to having the officer
on-site.
Mayor Bergman stated he will not support the special levy
because its effect on Plymouth is greater than other

communities due to the three -tiered property tax system. The
higher the value of a home, the greater the percentage paid.
Mr. Moberg stated that each municipality would be levied a
certain amount in proportion to the number of children
attending secondary schools in the District.
Mayor Bergman asked if homes in District 281 would carry the
same cost per household? Manager Willis stated no; the tax
capacity classification rates would still apply.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that a resident recently
interviewed for a board or commission appointment is a police
training officer in Minneapolis. He had indicated that in
Minneapolis, the school pays the cost of liaison officers and
he is not convinced the program is successful.
Councilmember Ricker stated he is not in favor of a special
levy to fund the program.

APARTMENT/CONDOMINIUM MANAGERS
Today, we held our 6th Annual Meeting with representatives of
apartments and condominiums in our City. The meeting was held in
the City Council Chambers.
I have enclosed an agenda that highlights the topics we talked
about. Also, note the attached handouts that covered topical
areas that we review on an annual basis with the representatives.
I especially want to point out the enclosed fire
prevention/maintenance guidelines form to be completed annually
by apartment managers or caretakers. We are experimenting with
this new format to allow us to free up more time to spend on
inspections in more hazardous buildings. The form is quite
simple to use, and identifies the 24 most common fire code
violations found in previous inspections of apartments and
condominiums. Within the next month, the Fire Inspectors will
meet individually with representatives of the various complexes
and provide training to the maintenance workers who will complete
the self -inspection forms. We will spot check the program in the
future to determine its effectiveness.
The Housing Inspector, Warren Kulesa, was introduced and a short
presentation made by him. He told the representatives that
inspection of apartment properties would be made on a complaint
basis only. He further indicated that the complaint has to be in
writing and a copy sent to the complex management. Warren talked
about the need to have unlicensed/junk vehicles removed from
their property. He indicated how he would help them obtain
registered owners. In closing, Warren stated that he would not
be involved in lease problems.
There were several questions raised
as it relates to multiple dwellings.

MOTION by Commissioner Tierney, seconded by Commissioner

Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Plufka introduced the request by Martin Harstad
for a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment and PUD Concept Plan
for "Sugar Maple Hills" located at the northwest corner of
Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55.
Coordinator Dillerud reviewed the March 20, 1991 Staff
Report. He stated that the Land Use Guide Plan Amendment
should be considered first because approval of this part
of the application is necessary before the PUD Concept
Plan can be considered since the Concept Plan relies on
the Guide Plan Amendment proposed.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Bob Kost representing the
petitioner.
Mr. Kost stated that he was in agreement with all the
conditions of the March 20, 1991 Staff Report.
Commissioner Pierce asked what the projected average size
of the lots would be.
Mr. Kost stated that the lots would average 14,000 square
feet.

Chairman Plufka asked why the petitioner felt that the
change from CL guiding to LA -3 and LA -1 would be better
for the site.
Mr. Kost responded that the change in guiding .would
preserve more of the trees and wetland area of the site
rather than a large amount of hard surface which would be
needed for a CL guided site.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that if townhouses were
placed on the site the amount of hard surface needed for
parking could be as great as that of a CL guided site.
Mr. Kost responded that the townhouses could be placed on
the site so that a greater amount of the existing trees on
the site could be preserved. He also stated that if this
were a CL guided development the developer would need to
use the maximum allowable height for the buildings.
Chairman Plufka asked what species of trees exist on the
site, what percent of the wooded area would be lost during
development, and what the tolerance of the existing trees
would be.
Mr. Kost stated that there is a mixed variety of trees on
the site including sugar maples, white oak, poplar and ash
trees. He said that approximately 3-4 acres of trees
would be lost and the tolerance of the existing trees
could be preserved, providing the developer is careful
during development.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he felt the CL guiding
would provide a better buffer between Highway 55 and the
residential units on the north part of the site.
Mr. Kost stated that a landform buffer could be created to
diminish to noise from Highway 55.
Commissioner Zylla asked Mr. Kost if any discussion was
held with the landowner of the property to the west of
this site.
Mr. Kost responded that they had discussed a shared right-
of-way with the owner of the property on the west, but
they had not discussed land use.
Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. George Jackson, 3200 Harbor
Lane.
Mr. Jackson stated that he was the owner of the property
to the west of the proposed development. He said his
property consists of 23 acres. He stated that he is

opposed to the reguiding proposed by Martin Harstad
because his site is also guided CL and he would have to
create a berm if he were to develop his site to shield it
from the proposed residential development. He stated his
land has been diminished in potential value over the years
by governmental actions, including State designation of a
portion of the parcel as protected wetland. He stated
that much more developable land remains on the parcel than
suggested by City staff.
Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Plufka and Commissioner Marofsky both stated that
if the portion of the parcel guided CL was reguided, it
would land -lock the CL parcel owned by Mr. Jackson to the
west.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that a frontage road would be
possible between the currently guided CL and LA -2 portion
of the site. He said that just because current market
conditions do not favor the CL guiding this is not reason
enough to change the guiding.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY
Wire to deny the reguiding of the CL portion of the site
proposed by Martin Harstad located at the northwest corner
of Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55.
Commissioner Wire stated that he approved of the request
to change the guiding of the northerly section of the site
to LA -1.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that the north portion of the
site could be developed as a single family detached
housing site without reguiding if conventional platting
was done rather than as a PUD.
Commissioner Pierce stated that a road to the west from
the Jackson parcel would be feasible if the proposed
County Road 9 extension was moved.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the County Road 9
extension could not be changed because of the wetlands on
the site, and touchdown distances to the future County
Road 9/Highway 55 intersection.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he felt the issue of a
Yter between Highway 55 and the development is the most
: ucial issue. He said he thought the proposed design was
attractive, but that an office development could be just
as attractive.
Commissioner Zylla stated that the CL portion of the site
would not be easily accessible, but that he felt too much

was being squeezed onto the site for the proposed LA -3
guiding.
Chairman Plufka stated that he agreed with Commissioner
Zyl1a. He said that one access to the CL portion of the
site would have to be from 36th Avenue North.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that because of the lay of the
land there are site restraints for this property.
Conditions have changed regarding the wetlands and the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan during the past 5 years. Control
needs to be considered for access to Vicksburg Lane and
County Road 9 regarding access through a residential area.
Commissioner Tierney stated that she could not recommend
approval of the reguiding of the CL portion of the site to
LA -3 because it would land lock the parcel to the west.
She said that a Public Hearing should be held on the
reguiding of the parcel to the west.

parcel.

wanted to reassure the Commission that, as stated in
Condition No. 8, the site will not be used for permanent
storage but for temporary overflow to alleviate the
congestion on the Chrysler site.
Commissioner Marofsky asked what the staging time would be
for truck/trailer storage.
Mr. Sexton responded that the trucks/trailers will usually
be moved within 24 hours with a maximum of two weeks.

Coordinator Dillerud reviewed the March 20, 1991 staff
report.
Commissioner Pierce stated that he would refrain from the
discussion and voting on this request.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Larry Laukka representing
the petitioner.
Mr. Laukka stated that a portion of Lot 61 should be
included in the staff report as a lot they are requesting
be allowed to have 8 foot fencing. Coordinator Dillerud
concurred.
Mr. Laukka stated that the developer's purpose in
requesting the fencing for this area was so that
individual homeowners would not have to come to the
Planning Commission individually with a request for
fencing. He said that the 6 foot fencing provides privacy
to the individual's side or rear yards.
Chairman Plufka stated that he thought Outlot A was an
eyesore.
Mr. Laukka stated that Outlot A is a retention pond and he
has been consulting with experts and experimenting with
different types of grasses to improve this area.
Mr. Laukka showed the Commissioners some slides taken at
the site which demonstrated the difference between the 6
foot and 8 foot fencing.
Commissioner Marofsky asked if the developer would be
responsible for building the fences.
Mr. Laukka stated that the developer would build the
fences at the homeowner's request except along County Road
6; that only one style of fence is allowed within the
development; and, the Homeowner's Association is
responsible for the upkeep of the fencing.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that when the fencing is
placed inside the berm the homeowner looses approximately
1/3 of their rear yard.
Mr. Laukka stated that, because of the location of the toe
of the berm, it is necessary to place the fencing on the
inside of the property line.
Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing.
Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Pat Wahlstrom of 15715 15th
Place North.

Ms. Wahlstrom stated that she wanted her fencing increased
by 2 feet to 8 feet because of the additional privacy and
security it would provide her from the traffic on County
Road 6.
Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Marofsky questioned whether all homes would
be surrounded by fencing.
Chairman Plufka stated that the 6 foot fencing would be at
the homeowner's request; the 8 foot fencing along County
Road 6 will be installed as a part of the initial
development.

the number of dogs that constitute a "Dog Kennel".
"DOG KENNELS" (91016)
Coordinator Dillerud reviewed the March 25, 1991 staff
report.
Commissioner Stulberg asked if there was any alternative
way to get at this issue to allow three dogs as pets in
the residential zoning districts.
Chairman Plufka stated that the current limit of two dogs
in the residential zoning districts does not eliminate the
possibility of noise from barking.
Director Tremere stated that the applicable language in
the Zoning Ordinance is only the definition of "kennel"
which is tied directly to the City Code. The City Code
would need to be changed also, to accommodate the
petitioner's request. If the Council approved a change in
the City Code regarding the number of dogs one could own
without a kennel license that would give direction for the
changes needed in the Zoning Ordinance.

Commissioner Wire asked if this request could be handled
by the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.
Director Tremere responded that a change in the Zoning
Ordinance allowable use section would be needed, but that
a basic change is first needed in the City Code in that
case, too, since the provisions and limitations of the
Code are directly linked to the Zoning Ordinance.
Chairman Plufka stated that he did not feel the Code
restrictions make sense since a person is allowed to have
an undefined number of puppies (under four months) in the
residential zoning districts as long as there are only two
adult dogs.
Director Tremere stated that this request be sent to the
City Council requesting a change in the City Code and the
Council may direct that the Zoning Ordinance language be
changed regarding the number of dogs that constitute a
"kennel".
Commissioner Stulberg stated that he was not comfortable
dealing with the numbers of dogs and nuisance problems
related to dogs within the same context as Zoning
Ordinance provisions for "kennels".
Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mrs. Jane Fredberg of 13112
Sunset Trail.
Mrs. Fredberg stated that she and Mr. Fredberg are fully
responsible for their dogs. She stated that the incident
when the dogs were loose happened because a young child
had released the dogs. Mr. Fredberg said that they have a
1.4 acre yard that is fenced and where they keep their
dogs. They seek necessary Code and/or Ordinance changes
to allow three dogs as pets in the R -1A District.
Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY
Marofsky to deny the requested change in the Zoning
Ordinance stating to the City Council that a change needs
to first be made in the City Code before amending the
wording in the Zoning Ordinance since it is the City Code
that limits the number of dogs one may have without a
kennel license.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that he is not concerned with
the number of dogs allowed in the residential zoning
districts. He said that nuisances are controlled by other
means and should be handled by those means. He commented
that a change does not necessarily need to be made in the

should be given to those persons who have personal pets
but who are not operating a commercial kennel and whose
dogs are neutered or spayed.

Commissioner Stulberg stated that staff should convey the

Ordinance Signage Standards
Chairman Plufka stated that the current regulations should
not be broadened. He said he is against grand opening
signs but felt that new technology such as a "sky tracker"
light should be allowed since this type of technology does
not divert a person's attention when driving.
Commissioner Wire stated that he agreed with Chairman
Plufka's observation.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that the Commissioners should
review information on the new technology on the market; he
did not support additional signage (versus alternative
signage).
Commissioner Marofsky stated that specific circumstances
should be reviewed as to when new technology for grand
openings is appropriate.
Chairman Plufka stated that a definition is needed to
specify what technology will be allowed and under what
circumstances.
Direction was given to staff to research available data on
current sign technology, and the current standards in the
Ordinance; and return to the Commission with a

DATE: April 17, 1991
TO: Bob Zitur, Councilmember
'J
FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: HOLY NAME CHURCH
SANITARY SEWER CAPACITY
You called me inquiring about information on the sanitary sewer which
the City of Plymouth provides to Holy Name Church in the City of Medina.
You stated that the church was planning on expansion and wanted to know
if the City of Plymouth had adequate sanitary sewer capacity for this
expansion.
In 1977, the City of Plymouth and the City of Medina entered into an
agreement whereby the City of Plymouth would provide sanitary sewer and
water service to the Holy Name Church property. In reviewing the
agreement, no maximum sewer flows are indicated for the church property.
There is a provision in the agreement that the City of Medina is not to
approve connections by the church to the sewer without the approval of
Plymouth.
The last expansion of the church was in 1986. The school at the site
remained at a capacity of 150 students, but the church seating was
increased to 1,000. Attached is a letter from our consulting engineer
analyzing that the flow from the church could be adequately handled by
the City of Plymouth's existing sanitary sewer system.
As indicated in the 1986 Sewer Analysis, there was capacity in our sewer
system for a peak flow from the church property of 46 gallons per
minute. The average flow from the church was less than 1 gallon per
minute, but no data was included on peak usage.
Before we could determine if there is adequate sewer capacity for any
expansion of the church, we would need more details on the expansion and
the sewer flows which would be generated. Since the church is using a
very small percentage of the available capacity, it would need to be a
very major expansion -before I would anticipate any problems.
If you have any additional questions or would like more information,
please let me know.

in Medina will not adversely affect

The Greentree West lift station was installed in 1976. It has a design capac-
ity of 150 gallons per minute (gpm) at a TDR of 33 feet. A recent test on the
station indicates the pumps have an actual capacity of 158 gpm. We reviewed
the pumping records of the lift station for 1985. Both pumps ran a total of
1583 hours in 1985 for an average daily rate of 4.34 hours per day. This re-
sults in an average daily sewage discharge of 41,143 gals. per day.
There are 129 lots within the Greentree West ARea connected to the lift sta-
tion. Using the rate of 315 gallons per lot per day, the total flow to the
lift station, exclusive of the church, is estimated at 40,635 gals. per day or
an average rate of 28.2 gpm. When a peak flow factor of 4 is multiplied by
the average daily rate, the design flow from the single family homes is 112
gpm. The difference between the design flow from the homes and the pump ca-
pacity is the surplus or extra capacity available to the Holy Name Church in
Medina. This excess capacity is estimated at 46 gpm.
There is a reasonable correlation between the amount of sewage pumped (41,143
gpd) and the estimated design flow from the 129 lots (40,035 gpd). From this,
we can conclude that either 1) the flow from the church site is rather low or
2) the actual flow from the homes is somewhat less than the design flow used
in the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. In either event, the lift station has ade-
quate capacity to handle the flow.

Re: File No. 70, Plan Review
May 6, 1986
There are 150 students at the church complex. The expansion of the church
will allow seating for 1000 worshipers. Both of these conditions results in
low sewage flows. The City's billing department indicated winter water sales
of 98,000 gals. for Jan. -April. This amounts to only 816 gals. per day aver-
age. A o. S7 3r.
In summary, it is our opinion that the existing sewer system in Plymouth, in-
cluding the lift station, has adequate capacity to handle the flow from the
Holy Name Church expansion, which we believe to be only a slight increase in
total discharge.
Yours verb truly,

SUBJECT: CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE CALL
I received a call on the 24 -Hour Customer Service Line on
April 11 concerning residents at 1540 Fountain Lane. Caller
reports they have had garbage and tree branches in their yard
since last fall, creating an eyesore. They are now raking leaves
into the street. Caller requests that the City look into the
problem and require them to remove the garbage and tree branches,
and prevent the residents from raking their leaves into the
street.
Please check into this matter and let me know what action you
have taken on this by Monday, April 22 so that I may note it in
my customer service line log.

Lynn Eckert, 10015 - 47th Place, Plymouth, MN 55442, 550-9359,
called the 24 -Hour Customer Service Line on April 16. She and
her fiance, David Rudick, recently purchased a home in Plymouth.
She reports that the mail she has received from the City since
purchasing her home has been addressed only to Mr. Rudick. They
are joint owners and she notes she pays half of the mortgage and
taxes, etc. She would like to the City's mailing list adjusted
accordingly so that mail is directed to both Mr. Rudick and
herself.
Please make the necessary adjustments on your mailing lists, and
also get back to Ms. Eckert to let her know that those changes
have been made. Please advise me of action which you have taken
on this by Tuesday, April 30 so that I may note it in my customer
service line log.

Dear Ms. Eckert:
Thank you for your call on the City of Plymouth Customer Service
Line. I passed it on to City Assessor Scott Hovet. He informs
me that City records list both you and David Rudnick as owners of
your home. Consequently, any mail you receive from the City
should have both names listed on it.
Mr. Hovet thought you could possibly be referring to either the
property tax statement or the valuation notice which you
received. Both of these are mailed by Hennepin County. He
suggests that you contact the County Assessing Information Office
at 348-3011 to request that both names be included on mailings
sent out by Hennepin County.
For your information, I have attached a copy of the memo which
Mr. Hovet sent to me.
Again, thanks for the call. If you have any questions, please
contact me at 550-5016.

Lynn Eckert and David Rudick purchased their home in Plymouth on September 30,
1990. November 15, 1990 they applied for homestead classification on their home.
During this process the old owner's name is removed from the City's computer
system and all owners, or new buyers, are entered into the system.
The mailings that Ms. Eckert could possibly be referring to is either the property
tax statement or the valuation notice which are mailed by Hennepin County. On
December 29, 1990 David Rudick and Lynn Eckert were mailed a Homestead
Declaration Card with both their names appearing on the document. (See Attached)
Both of their names exist in the City computer system as David Rudick and Lynn
Eckert at the above described address. Their utility bill for sewer and water
service also exists in both names.
In checking our records, both names exist on their property for any type mailing
which they would receive from the City of Plymouth.

This past weekend I was in your city visiting. On 4/14/91 my sister and
brother-in-law, son ran away. They called your
department to report him. An officer came out to the residence within 5 minutes.
I believe his name was Dickerson. He was very helpful to them. He also acted
in a very professional manner.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and your department for
your help. Usually all we get from the public is the complaints. The officer
located the runaway within a half an hour. He contacted the and they
were very much relieved. He did not come home that night but they did know
he was safe.
The incident was very tramatic for them but it was a relief for them to
know that the police department helped them. The calls like these may seem
routine to us, but it was extremely difficult for them. They were happy
with the response that they got from the officer and I was impressed with the

The Honorable Kim M. Bergman
Mayor of Plymouth,

Plymouth, MN 554147
Dear Mayor Bergman:
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act or asbestos in
schools law continues to be one of the most controversial
environmental laws passed by Congress. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Administrator William K. Reilly has characterized
it as a "'law of unintended consequences"' from which "(m)any
millions of dollars have been wasted on unnecessary asbestos
removal operations."
Congress apparently agreed. During reauthorization of the
Asbestos School Hazard Abatemet Act, a school abatement funding
law, Congress mandated EPA to issue an advisory to:
o facilitate public understanding of the comparative
risks of management versus removal;
o promote the least burdensome response actions; and
o describe the circumstances in which asbestos removal
is necessary.
Members of Congress concluded that such an advisory was needed
"to prevent unnecessary removals undertaken in response to past
Congressional action, and to correct the misperception that all
asbestos should be immediately removed" (U.S. Rep. Robert
Whittaker) and to make it "very, very clear as a matter of
public policy . the fact that abatement does not inherently
mean removal" (U.S. Rep. Paul B. Henry).
EPA's advisory to building owners was released recently to State
Governors and local education agencies. It stresses what is
known scientifically about the safety of asbestos -containing
materials, and the practical benefits of an in-place management
program. These Five Facts of asbestos management state:
GIM APR 2611
-2 -
"Fact One: Although asbestos is hazardous, human risk of
asbestos disease depends upon exposure."
"Fact Two: Prevailing asbestos levels in buildings -- the
levels that you and I face as building
occupants -- seem to be very low, based upon
available data. Accordingly, the health risk
we face as building occupants also appears to
be very low."
"Fact Three: Removal is often not a building owner's best
course of action to reduce asbestos exposure.
In fact, an improper removal can create a
dangerous situation where none previously
existed."
"Fact Four: EPA only requires asbestos removal in order to
prevent significant public exposure to
asbestos, such as during building renovation
or demolition."
"Fact Five: EPA does recommend in-place management
whenever asbestos is discovered."
For your information, a copy of EPA's latest advisory is
enclosed.
Sincerely,
John F. Welch
President

Fact three: Removal is often not a
school district's or other building
owner's best course of action to reduce
asbestos exposure. In fact. an improper
removal can create a dangerous
situation where none previously existed.
It is important to understand that. for
most situations. EPA's asbestos
regulations for schools under the
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response
Act (AHERA) do not require removal of
asbestos. These regulations allow the
school to decide whether asbestos
removal. or some other response action.
is the best option to protect the health of
school students and employees. In
general, asbestos removal is most
appropriate when asbestos materials.
such as pipe or boiler insulation. are
damaged beyond repair.
Although we believe most asbestos
removals are being conducted properly,
asbestos removal practices by their very
nature disturb the material and
significantly elevate airborne fiber
levels. Unless all safeguards are
properly applied and strictly followed.
exposure in the building can rise.
perhaps to levels where we know
disease can occur. Consequently, an ill-
conceived or poorly conducted removal
project can actually increase rather than
eliminate risk.
Fact four. EPA only requires asbestos
removal in order to prevent significant
public exposure to asbestos. such as
during building renovation or
demolition.
Prior to a major renovation or
demolition. asbestos material that is
likely to be disturbed or damaged to the
extent -that significant amounts of
asbestos would be released must be
removed using approved practices under
EPA's asbestos National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) regulation. Demolishing a
building containing large amounts of
asbestos. for example, would likely
result in significantly increased
exposure and could create an imminent
hazard. Clearly, asbestos removal
before the wrecking ball swings into
action is appropriate to protect public
health. However. this cannot be said of
arbitrary asbestos removal projects.
which. as noted above. can actually
increase health risk unless properly
performed. This. in part. is why EPA has
not mandated asbestos removal from
schools or other buildings beyond the
NESHAP requirement, which has the
effect of gradually and rationally taking
all remaining asbestos building
materials out of the inventory.
Fact five: EPA does recommend in-
place management whenever asbestos is
discovered.
Instead of removal. a conscientious in-
place management program will usually
control fiber releases, particularly when
the materials are not significantly
damaged and are not likely to be
disturbed. That is why Congress
mandated such a program in schools
through AHERA.
In-place management. of course. does
not mean "do nothing." It means, first,
that the building owner or manager
should identify asbestos. through a
building -wide inventory or on a case-by-
case basis before suspect materials are
disturbed by renovations or other
actions. The AHERA program requires
an inventory of all asbestos materials in
schools by properly accredited
individuals.
After the material is identified. the
school's personnel. building owner or
manager can then institute controls to
ensure that the day-to-day management
of the building is carried out in a manner
that prevents or minimizes the release of
asbestos fibers into the air. These
controls will ensure that when asbestos
fibers are released. either accidentally
or intentionally, proper management
and cleanup procedures are
implemented.
Another concern of EPA and other
Federal. State and local agencies which
regulate asbestos is to ensure proper
worker training and protection.
Maintenance and service workers in
buildings, in the course of their daily
activities. may disturb materials and can
thereby elevate asbestos fiber levels,
especially for themselves, if they are not
properly trained and protected. For
these persons, risk may be significantly
higher than for other building occupants.
Proper worker training and projection.
as part of an active in-place
management program. can reduce any
unnecessary asbestos exposure for these
workers and others. AHERA requires
this training for school employees whose
job activities may result in asbestos
disturbances.
in addition to the steps outlined
above, an in-place management program
will usually include notification to
workers and occupants of the existence
of asbestos in their building. periodic
surveillance of the material. and proper
recordkeeping. EPA requires all of these
activities for schools and strongly
recommends that other building owners
also establish comprehensive asbestos
management programs. Without such
programs, asbestos materials could be.
damaged or deteriorate. which may
result in elevated levels of airborne
asbestos fibers.
While the management costs of all the
above activities will depend upon the
amount. condition. and location of the
materials, such a program need not be
expensive. In many instances, an in-
place management program may be all
that is necessary to control the release
of asbestos fibers. until the asbestos -
containing material in a building is
scheduled for removal because of
renovation or demolition activities.
In summary, EPA's best advice on
asbestos is neither to rip it all out in a
panic nor to ignore the problem under
the false presumption that asbestos is
"risk free." Rather. we recommend a
practical approach that protects public
health by emphasizing that asbestos
material in buildings should be located.
that it should be appropriately managed.
and that those workers who may disturb
it should be properly trained and
protected. That has been. and continues
to be. EPA's position.
If you have questions or need
additional information about asbestos in
schools and other buildings. please call
EPA's Toxics Hotline at (202) 554--1404

workers and others. AHERA requires
this training for school employees whose
job activities may result in asbestos
disturbances.
In addition to the steps outlined
above, an in-place management program
will usually include notification to
workers and occupants of the existence
of asbestos in their building. periodic
surveillance of the material. and proper
tecordkeeping. EPA requires all of these
activities for schools and strongly
recommends that other building owners
also establish comprehensive asbestos
management programs. Without such
programs. asbestos materials could be
damaged or deteriorate, which may
result in elevated levels of airborne
asbestos fibers.
While the management costs of all the
above activities will depend upon the
amount. condition. and location of the
materials, such a program need not be
expensive. In many instances. an in-
place management program may be all
that is necessary to control the release
of asbestos fibers, until the asbestos -
containing material in a building is
scheduled for removal because of
renovation or demolition activities.
In summary, EPA's best advice on
asbestos is neither to rip it all out in a
panic nor to ignore the problem under
the false presumption that asbestos is
"risk free." Rather, we recommend a
practical approach that protects public
health by emphasizing that asbestos
material in buildings should be located.
that it should be appropriately managed.
and that those workers who may disturb
it should be properly trained and
protected. That has been. and continues
to be. EPA's position.
If you have questions or need
additional information about asbestos in
schools and other buildings. please call

Thank you for volunteering to help maintain Sunrise Park. The response to our
CARE program has been overwhelming throughout the entire community. I hope
that you and your family will find this a rewarding experience. We are asking
each of the participants, families, organization, neighorhood, etc., to visit
their park or trail area once every week or every other week to do a clean up.
Mark Peterson, Superintendent of Parks, will be contacting you in the near
future to make arrangements to deliver trash bags to your home that you may
use for this purpose. When you have filled the bags, you may leave them in
the park next to existing trash barrels, or you may put them at the curb, and
call the Park Maintenance office at 550-5150, to have them picked up. I can
be reached at 550-5131.
Again,'thank you for your help and have a fun and enjoyable summer.

Dear Councilmember Helliwell,
Your letter to Senator Hughes
that I do not believe are related
the Elections and Ethics Committee
Senate
State of Minnesota
brings up a number of points
to the specific issue before
in the Senate.
. The issue is whether it is good public policy for local
elected officials to extend their term in office with virtually
no democratic check on that action. This has no bearing on the
size, legality or tactics involved in the gathering of the
current petition. It also has no bearing on the issue of a
community center in Plymouth or many of the other points you
raise.
In addition to notifying the mayor, I also told the city
manager in advance of the Senate hearing. The committee schedule
is readily available by calling Senate Information at 296-0504.
I also thought you were being kept informed by representatives of
the League of Minnesota Cities, who participated in the Senate
process.
It is my intention as a legislative representative to
support public policies that are best for the residents of my
district. This usually necessitates a close working relationship
with the local officials in my district. It is unfortunate that
the highly polarized situation on the Plymouth City Council has
made consultation on this issue so difficult. In responding on
this issue, I speak only for myself and not for the other members
of the Plymouth legislative delegation -who have supported this
effort.
If you are correct that the majority of Plymouth residents
are in favor of the term extension, then that will be reflected
in a referendum vote. If a majority oppose it, the will of the

past the problem with pets trespassing on our property and also the replacement of
a large evergreen tree which had died. You did replace the tree, but it was not
replaced in the same spot that the previous tree had been located. We need to
discuss that issue. We also need to discuss the continuing problem with pets. It was
my understanding that you were going to contact us so that we could discuss this
issue. A considerable amount of time has passed, and I would appreciate an
opportunity to do that. Thank you.

The city has offered other tracts of land, that the city owns, at no

Why can't these be reconsidered and let a retail development have the

Why can't some compromises be made, by the library board, in what's desired

Dear Bob:
April 18, 199f_- --'-
Your April 3 letter raising questions about increases in the funding of state
agencies for the coming biennium came as a surprise in view of the con-
siderable criticism that has been coming my wh. :; Lczara to budget cuts. I
have asked Finance Commissioner John Gunyou to respond directly to city offi-
cials with accurate information about the $83.5 million -- or 7.2 percent --
in state agency cuts that were proposed in my budget recommendations.
I have emphasized repeatedly in the last three months that the only way to
hold the line on taxes is to cut spending at all levels of government. For
this reason and to ensure accountability to the taxpayers, it is important to
link taxing authority and spending authority. For that reason, my budget
recommendations include both reductions and policy changes regarding state
aids paid to local units of government.
I recognize that these changes are dramatic and difficult. I am much en-
couraged by the dialogue that now is beginning to take place between cities
and the dialogue between cities and other units of government. I believe this
will lead to new cooperation and to new means of sharing services so costs can
be reduced.
I am equally committed to restructuring state government and to cutting the
cost of delivering services at this level. In fact, the CURE Commission
(Committee on Reform and Efficiency) will begin work this summer and has been
asked to identify specific areas where savings can be achieved.
51y call for a change in the relationship between state and local governments
is in no way an attempt to pass the buck or to punish cities. I believe
cities work hard to provide services to their citizens. I am not insensitive
to the severity of the proposed cuts -- at either the state or local level --
nor am I unaware of to the difficulty of adapting to the changes required by
our current fiscal crisis. Unfortunately, this crisis may likely go on for
some time given the slow growth predicted for the economy well into the fu-
ture.
I have enclosed the guiding principles that will be used to review
crossing my desk in regard to local government aids. I want you
plete and accurate information. I trust that, in the future, you
same when communicating to your members.

The League of Minnesota Cities recently criticized Governor Arne Carlson for
allowing a supposed 8 percent biennial growth in state agencies, while proposing
reductions in local aid. In truth, the operating costs of the state 'bureaucracy"
are being cut by 7.2 percent.
It is unfortunate that the League did not bother to verify their information with
the State Finance Department before widely distributing these inaccurate claims
to its membership, the Legislature and the media. The League conclusions are
based on an analysis of state spending which inappropriately included federal
funds, trust funds, bond funds and special revenue funds which are not used to
support the state bureaucracy, but rather, to fund programs which directly
benefit local communities.
For example, federal drug funds are used for treatment and prevention services
in the state's major cities. Dedicated game and fish funds support the use and
development of Minnesota's natural resources throughout the state. As
additional examples, the League analysis double counted state employee
insurance trust funds, included bond financing for the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency and included the workers' compensation special fund, which is
used to pay second injury claims and uninsured employers' claims. Further, the
League analysis did not include the central office budgets of the Department of
Human Services or Education, which are reduced in the Governor's budget.
A total of $83.5 million in budget reductions were made to state agencies in the
1992-93 Governor's budget. This represents a 7.2 percent reduction in state
agency spending from the FY 1991 budget base:

SUBJECT: DRAINAGE CONCERN
I received a call today from Bob Oxborough, 4655 Balsam Lane No.,
Home 559-0231, Work 557-8386. Mr. Oxborough asked me to come to
his residence and view a drainage problem. His question appears
to be: whose responsibility is this - the City's or the
homeowner's?
I told him that because I recall a previous drainage concern in
this area, I would first like to have Fred Moore check into the
background of the area.' I would appreciate if in the near future
someone could accompany me to view the problem with Mr.
Oxborough. But before visiting, I think Fred should investigate
the background so that we can formally advise Mr. Oxborough of
the City's position.
cc: Fred Moore
I met with Bob Oxborough Thursday evening, April 25 at his home to review his
drainage concern. His concern is with an open drainageway in his rear yard.
Several years ago Sherm Goldberg, City Engineer, worked with Mr. Oxborough,
other property owners, and the developer to have this open drainageway lined
with plastic and rip -rapped. The rip -rap has silted up with dirt and water is
standing in the area.
I informed Mr. Oxborough that I would have to research the files more to see if
the developer or City had any further obligation with regard to the open
drainageway.
I have informed Mr. Oxborough that after the files were checked I would get
back to him.

Dear YMCA member:
Our Association Nominating Committee would like to nominate you as
a Governing Member of the YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis for a
three-year term in the Class of 1994. You name was among those
submitted for nomination by each of our branch operations, as it is
important that Governing Members be widely representative of the
total membership.
The responsibilities of the 550 -plus YMCA Governing Members are
important, but not demanding. They represent the YMCA members who
elect them by attending the Annual Meeting of Members and Governin
Members in t e spring oft a year to elect our General Boar of
Directors. (See enclosed Key Chart of Organization. )
If you are willing, you will be elected by the YMCA members at the
May 20 Annual Meeting of Members Luncheon" at the Radisson South
Hotel in Bloomington. Congressman James Ramstad will be the featured
speaker. We will assume your willingness to accept this nomination
if we do not hear from from you to the contrary prior to May 6, 1991.
Telephone: 371-8708.
Thank you for considering this nomination.
Sincerely,
YMCA Nominating Committee
