community involvement, and shown support to other women.

Dear Mayor Kim Bergman_,
For several years I.S.D. 279 has held Certificate of Compliance
meetings with the purpose of increased mutual cooperation and
understanding among members of governing bodies.
For the last two years we used a panel discussion format and
found it to be well accepted. As a result of this success we are
going to continue the format for the upcoming Certificate of
Compliance meeting.
Again, the topic will be "Responding To The Human Service Needs
In our Community" - followed by open discussion and your valued
input.
Please be our guest for this special meeting and lunch which will
be held at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, May 3 in the Board Room at our
Educational Service Center.
We are noticing an increased felt need for better coordination
and delivery of human services as a result of changing
demographics, the changing family structure and a more transient
population within parts of our community.
The following individuals are going to form the panel and discuss
this topic in more detail. Each of these individuals brings
their own expertise to this panel and each is currently working
on one or more important programs that address local human
service/educational needs:
Deb Anfinson is the Health Education Program Manager for the
Women's and Children's Health Program of the
Hennepin County Community Health Department. In
addition to informing us regarding this organiza-
tion she will also give an overview of the
Minnesota Prevention Network.
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 279
Educational Service Center, 11200 93rd Avenue North
P.O. Box 327, Maple Grove, MN 55369
M•7
Lorry Day is the Drug Free Schools Specialist for ISD 279.
In addition to informing us regarding this
program she will also give an overview of the
district Parents' Communication Network.
Marty Hawk is the Program Administrator at Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council for a new program
called the Point Northwest. Point Northwest
represents a new effort to provide 24 hour
outreach services for runaway youth and their
families.
Clint Blaiser is on staff at Z & S Property Management and he
will speak about the Brooklyn Park Property
Managers Coalition of which he is chairperson.
As a result of this panel discussion, it is our hope that all
present will have a better understanding of what the human
service needs are in our community and be more aware of some of
the key human service programs and efforts that exist.
Our ultimate goal for this meeting is that we begin to
collaborate more as human service agencies, educational
institutions and political bodies so that, as a group, we seek
ways to develop effective strategies for positive change.
Please encourage others that you think might be interested in
this topic, to also attend the meeting.
Please R.S.V.P. for lunch preparation purposes by calling Pat
Savard at 425-4131, ext. 573 by April 26, 1991.
Should you have any questions pertaining to this meeting, please
contact Lee Skavanger, Coordinator of Community Education and
Services at the number listed above.

Dear Property Owner:
z=3
This is to inform you of a request by Hennepin County, under File 89057, for a Site Plan
and Conditional Use Permit for a Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Facility to be located
at the northeast corner of County Road 6 and I-494.
The County proposes a new building of 67,215 square feet on a site of approximately 14
acres. The resulting facility would handle up to 700 tons of municipal solid waste daily,
brought in by garbage packer trucks and hauled out to Elk River or Downtown Minneapolis
waste burn facilities or to other facilities by semi -trailer trucks. The proposed
facility would also house recycling facilities for the general public, including
collection of household hazardous waste.
You are hereby notified of, and cordially invited to attend, a Public Hearing to be held
by the Plymouth Planning Commission at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24, 1991, in the City
Council Chambers at the Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. The public will be
invited to offer questions and comments concerning this application at that time.
Official notice of this hearing has been mailed to property owners within 1,320 feet of
the project site. The City Council directed that notice for this hearing should also be
sent to property owners in the residential area to the west and southwest of the site;
and, therefore this notice is mailed to you even though your property is beyond the
distance required by the ordinance.
Enclosed is an information sheet prepared by the City which summarizes the project and the
review process.
Copies of the application as submitted are available for review at the Public Information
Counter at the City Center between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except holidays.
Hennepin County has advised the City of Plymouth that the County is offering tours of the
existing Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Facility located in Brooklyn Park. For
further information on the tours call Hennepin County at 348-6846.
Sincerely,
Char es E. Dil eru
Community Development Coordinator

Hennepin County Transfer Station
Planning Commission Public Hearing: April 24, 1991, 7 p.m.
Location: Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Blvd.
The Planning Commission will consider Hennepin County's request for a conditional use permit
and site plan approval for the proposed waste transfer station.
This handout answers some of the questions citizens may have about the proposed transfer station
and the related planning process.
PROPOSAL OVERVIEW
Hennepin County has proposed building a waste transfer station at the northeast corner of Co. Rd.
6 and I-494. The purpose of the transfer station is to provide a site for smaller refuse trucks to
deposit their loads. Larger trailers would then transport the refuse to burn facilities in downtown
Minneapolis or Elk River, landfills and other processing facilities.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Site Platted as Carlson Center 5th Addition in 1989 -1 lot zoned Planned Industrial (I-1) for
many years. I-1 is appropriate zone for proposed use.
• Site Size — Approx. 14 acres.
• Proposed Structure Size — 67,215 sq. feet.
• Waste Volume Per Day — Maximum of 700 tons per day
• Truck Traffic - A total of 300 trucks per day are expected. Of that traffic, 250 are expected to be
"garbage packers". The remaining 50 would be semi -trailers.
• Parking - 17 spaces would be constructed. The site allows room for 190 future possible spaces
on the north side, making for a potential 207 parking spaces. City code requires 204 spaces.
• No outside storage or processing proposed.
CITY REVIEW PROCESS - APPROVALS REQUIRED
Site Plan Approval and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Waste Facility.
Both of the above actions involve:
-Staff review with consultant assistance
-Notice published in legal newspaper and mailed to property owners of record within
1,320 feet
-Public Hearing by Planning Commission 4/24/91. The Commission advises the City
Council on land use matters and conducts public hearings. All persons desiring to speak will
be recognized and will be asked to provide their name and address for the public record.
-City Council decision (possible in May)
Any City Council decision may be appealed by Hennepin County to and overridden by the
Metropolitan Council per state statute.
(Over Please)
i -3
REVIEW OF PROJECT TO DATE
• As required by state statute the Metropolitan Council prepared and processed through the
State Environmental Quality Board (EQB) an Environmental Impact Statement. Completed in
1988 before any formal applications to the City. City objected.
• County applied for city CUP and site plan in August, 1989.
• As the Plymouth zoning ordinance requires, the city hired and County paid for consultant
review of the application materials August - October, 1989. City selected nationally recognized
firm of Black & Veatch, Kansas City.
• City staff review has continued from August, 1989 through March, 1991— this included several
long periods which the County needed to prepare information on plan modifications. This
additional information was needed to comply with city codes, ordinances and policies. As of
March, 1991 applications are complete.
ISSUES
• Environmental Review completed in 1988 by the Metropolitan Council found environmental
issues had been addressed - EQB concurred. City wasn't supportive and questioned whether
all environmental concerns had been fully addressed. City stated much was left to speculation
based upon theory and plans and not experience.
• Project design now meets or exceeds city zoning standards for physical design such as parking,
set -backs, land coverage, landscaping, storm water control and traffic access to streets.
• County will construct Annapolis Lane to heavy duty standards to serve site. This will provide
access to Co. Rd. 6 from where most truck traffic will proceed directly to I-494 or Hwy. 55.
• City staff has raised a design concern regarding internal circulation on the site. Excessive
turning movements and pedestrian/vehicular conflict on the west side of the site.
• When considering whether to grant the County's request, the City Council will consider the
items listed below, based upon zoning ordinance conditional use permit standards:
-No adverse impact on Comprehensive Plan.
-Not be detrimental to public health, safety, morals or comfort.
-Not injurious to other property in area or diminish/impair property values.
-Not impede development or improvement of surrounding land.
-Provides adequate design to minimize traffic impacts to public streets.
-Conforms to applicable codes, ordinances, policies of the City in all other respects.
For more Information, call Associate Planner John Keho at 550-5057. You may
Inspect the application/plans at the City Center, 8 am. - 4:30 p.m., Mon. - Fri.

Dear Neighbor:
RE: Tour of the Transfer Station in Brooklyn Park
Hennepin County is proposing to construct a solid waste recycling and
transfer facility in Plymouth, northeast of the corner of I-494 and County
Road No. 6. A tour of the Brooklyn Park Recycling Center and Transfer
Station is being offered so that you can see the operaton of a facility
similar to the one proposed in Plymouth.
In order to allow as many as possible to take advantage of this offer, County
staff will have an open house and conduct tours during the following times:
5:30 p.m. to -7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17
7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 18
The station is located at 8100 Old Jefferson Highway in Brooklyn Park, about
one mile south of Osseo. You can get to the station by going north on T.H.
169 (old County Road 18) to 77th Avenue; exit on 77th Avenue; go left over
the freeway; turn right on the frontage road, which is Old Jefferson Highway.
The transfer station is a brown concrete building, the first building on the
right as you proceed north on old Jefferson Highway (north of 77th Avenue).
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Warren K. Porter

Wetlands legislation
R�C�NE�
APR 16 1991
�;� fl{ Plytrn
H.F. 1 and S.F. 3 are the two major wetlands bills. H.F. 1, authored by Sen. Willard Munger (Duluth), has been winding
its way through the House. S.F. 3, authored by Sen. Chuck Davis (Princeton), was the subject of several meetings of
the Senate Joint Agriculture/Environment and Natural Resources Ad Hoc Committee. As of April 9, S.F. 3 was still in
the full Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee.
H.F. 1
H.F. 1 passed out of the House Environment and Natural Resources Committee in mid-February and on April 4
overcame its next major hurdle, the House Agriculture Committee. The Agriculture Committee re-referred the bill to
the Governmental Operations Committee, which will be its last stop before the Appropriations Committee. The
Governmental Operations Committee was scheduled to hear the bill on Thursday, April 11.
The Agriculture Committee incorporated numerous amendments into the bill, clarifying the legislation with respect to
agriculture. The following is a brief summary of the bill as it left the Agriculture Committee.
Section 1: cites the wetlands legislation as the "Wetland Enhancement, Preservation, and Protection Act of 1991."
Section 2: states that the legislative intent is for landowners to receive fair Incentive payments for compliance with
the provisions of the legislation.
Section 3: makes a minor modification to the county board authority to disapprove DNR acquisition of land in the
county. If the county disapproves the proposed acquisition the landowner orthe commissioner may submit the matter
directly to the Land Exchange Board.
Section 4: defines the legislative finding that wetlands are of public value for conserving surface water, for improving
and maintaining water quality, for fish and wildlife habitat, for recreation, for floodwater retention, for stream and lake
sedimentation reduction, for improved subsurface moisture, for natural beauty of the landscape and for comprehen-
sive water management; that it is the public Interest to achieve a net gain in the quality and quantity of wetlands in
Minnesota; and that wetland activities that diminish the value of the wetland should be avoided, minimized or fully
mitigated at the expense of the individual who diminished the wetland value.
Section 5: requires that local water plans include identification of high priority areas in the county for wetland
restoration.
Section 6: allows for wetland restoration, enhancement and mitigation to be done under the repair provisions of the
drainage law; allows realignment of a drainage system under the repair provisions to prevent drainage of a wetland.
Section 7: provides for an incentive payment, to be administered by the BWSR, to landowners that desire to place
the wetland in a RIM -type easement.
Section 8: defines local government outside the Metro Area as the county board or city council; defines local
government inside the Metro Area as a city council, town board or watershed management organization.
Section 9, 10, 11 & 12: various definitions.
Section 13: defines wetlands consistently with the federal definition under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act
and the farm program. Wetlands must have a predominance of hydric soils; must support a prevalence of wetland
vegetation under normal circumstances; and must generally be inundated or saturated by surface or ground waters.
Section 14: removes statutory language where the owner of a public wetland can apply for a drainage permit ten
years after the public designation.
Section 15:
• adopts the national wetlands inventory as the baseline for the program.
• provides that wetlands that are diminished or destroyed are required to be mitigated based on the functional
values that are reduced.
• provides that mitigation shall generally be in the same watershed or county.
• provides that mitigation shall be at a rate of two acres for each acre of drained or filled wetlands if the
wetland is less than two acres in size; if the wetland is more than two acres, the mitigation rate is one acre
for each altered acre.
• provides that requests to add or delete from the wetlands inventory will be decided on appeal to BWSR.
Section 16: protects calcareous fens.
Section 17 & 18: protects unique peatlands.
Section 19: provides that peat mining is permitted on wetlands subject to the provisions of the Minnesota Peatland
Protection Act.
Section 20: provides exemptions to the mitigation requirements, including:
• wetlands that are type 1 or 2 and four acres or less In size;
• drainage repair to maintain the cropping history;
• wetlands that have been farmed six of the ten prior years;
• wetlands that are on agricultural land enrolled in the federal farm program;
• wetlands that have received a commenced determination under the farm program;
• and wetlands tFat are created as result of beaver dam or culvert blockage.
Wild rine lands are exempt from the bill.

5"
Section 21:
• requires the DNR, in consultation with the BWSR, to promulgate rules for the approval of wetland mitigation
plans. Provides an interim panel (composed of DNR, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the soil and water
conservation district, the watershed district, and the county or city) to judge mitigation plans until the rules
are completed;
• provides that issues of size and type are decided by a evaluation panel of DNR, the SWCD, and the engineer
of the local government;
• sets up administrative procedures for the decision making;
• provides that appeals of decisions on the mitigation plan are to the BWSR;
• provides that decisions on all mitigations plans are by the local unit of government;
• establishes an advisory committee consisting of a balanced diversity of interests to advise on rule making
and on progress and issues relating to implementation.
Section 22: allows local units to adopt rules more restrictive than the state rules.
Section 23: provides further statement that allows repair and maintenance of drainage systems to maintain farming
practices and cropping history.
Section 24: provides enforcement provisions and makes violations of the act a misdemeanor.
Section 25: allows forest management activities on forested wetlands if the activities do not result in filling or drainage
of the wetlands.
(Section 26: This section, which increased water use permit processing fees to pay for the wetland program, was
deleted at the April 5 meeting. The following sections were consequently re -numbered.)
Section 26: provides for exemption for development projects and ditch improvements that have received preliminary
or final approval within and outside the Metro Area respectively.
Section 27: A minor repealer
Section 28: provides for appropriation and bonding for the wetlands incentive payment program and other RIM
activities in the following amounts:
• $20,000,000 for wetland payments; (BWSR)
• $ 5,000,000 for wetland restoration; (BWSR)
• $10,000,000 for RIM reserve program; (BWSR)
• $15,000,000 for other RIM activities; (DNR)
Section 29: provides for General. Fund appropriations in the following amounts:
• $200,000 for Minnesota Extension Service;
• $200,000 for beaver control. (DNR)
Specific funding for the administration of the regulatory aspects of the legislation will be considered in the Appropria-
tions Committee. The administration will include grants to local government to implement the program and staff and
funding for the DNR and BWSR for implementation, training and assistance to local government.
S.F.3
The Senate Joint Agriculture/Environment and Natural Resources Ad Hoc Committee on Water has spent several
meetings debating S.F. 3. On March 26, the bill was approved and re-referred to the full Environment and Natural
Resources Committee, where it remained when this publication went to press (April 10). Although the basic framework
of the bill was unchanged during the meeting, a number of important amendments were added. Among other things,
committee members approved amendments changing the local regulation lead from soil and water conservation

H.F. 999 isbqZroposal to limit the types of issues that come before the BWSR that/Jue
servic of the State
Office of Heari xaminers. Due in part to the different statutes that were involved7 a cy merger that
created the BWSR, re is confusion and inequity in the mediation and dispute resoe . H.F. 999 attempts
to clarify and simplify th rocess by limiting the mandate for use of an Administratie to only rule making
activities. This measure wou make the BWSR more responsive to local governmens, as well as reducing
agency costs by an estimat $50,000-$100,000 per year. If this legislation dcceed, this cost will
unfortunately continue to be paid thrQugh funds from other programs.
BWSR authority to receive gifs"and acquire interest in land
Legislation has been introduced to give the BWS a authority to re a gifts from other organizations to further
existing BWSR programs. Organizations such as Phe nts to
and the Waterfowl Association may desire to
BWSR's wetland restoration program; however, because a BW is not currently authorized to accept such gifts,
a transfer of funds is difficult. This legislation would permits agreements.

About HCCAC
The Hennepin County
Census Analysis Center
(HCCAC), a division of
the Office of Planning &;
Development, is a
repository for census
information about Hen-
nepin County. Since
1980, the Center has
been publishing census
reports and providing
special analyses to
Hennepin County resi-
dents, businesspeople,
government officials,
and others who need to
understand the changing
face of Hennepin
County.
As with the 1980 census,
HCCAC will once again
publish a series of cen-
sus reports. Each will be
published as soon as
possible after the data
are made available by
the U.S. Census Bureau.
If you would like more
information about the
reports or if you would
like to order the series,
see the last page of this
news brief.
'90 Census Shows Hennepin Over One
Million
Population figures for municipalities released by the Census
Bureau show that Hennepin County's population grew almost
10 percent in the'80s, topping one million people for the first
time. Second -ring suburbs --particularly Eden Prairie, Maple
Grove, Champlin, and Plymouth --grew the most. The steady
decline of Minneapolis' population that characterized the
period between 1960 and 1980 appears to have leveled off.
Minneapolis is home to about 368,000 people, only slightly
fewer than the 370,000 people counted in the 1980 census.
Fifteen Hennepin County cities lost population during the
'80s. Most were inner -ring suburbs or communities around
Lake Minnetonka. No Hennepin County municipality lost
more than 9 percent of its population.
The chart below shows how Hennepin County's population
has changed relative to Minnesota's population since 1860. It
also shows how the populations in Minneapolis and
Hennepin's suburbs have shifted during the past 40 years,
gradually changing the makeup of the county from one domi-
nated by urban dwellers to predominantly suburban.

The maps at left show how Hennepin County's
population has shifted geographically in the last 30
years. Each map shows the ten most populous
cities in that census year. In 1960 Minneapolis, the
first -ring suburbs, as well as Bloomington,
Minnetonka, and Crystal formed the top ten. By
1970 Robbinsdale had been replaced by Brooklyn
Park, heralding the beginning of a trend outward
toward second -ring suburbs. By 1980 Golden
Valley had dropped out of the top ten, and New
Hope was added.
The 1990 Census shows the most significant shift
in 40 years with Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and
New Hope dropping out of the top ten. These
former growth centers have been replaced by the
new growth centers of Eden Prairie, Maple Grove,
and Plymouth.
Developed primarily during the post-war housing
boom, the first -ring suburbs are beginning to
regenerate themselves. New, younger families are
replacing original residents and will be an impor-
tant force in the character of these communities for
years to come.
Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, and Plymouth are to
the '80s what the first -ring suburbs were to the '40s
and '50s. Convenient transportation (I-494 bisects
each city) and available land were the key factors
in their development, drawing families and busi-
nesses from both older area communities and from
the stream of in -migrants that continue to be
drawn to this area.
Upcoming HCCAC reports will explore in more
depth the implications, details, and nuances of
these changes. What are the characteristics of the
populations in Minneapolis, the inner -ring sub-
urbs, the rapidly growing second-tier suburbs, and
the outlying cities and rural areas? What changes
have occurred in age and race distributions? ... in
income and housing characteristics? ... in educa-
tion levels and family sizes? What are the long-
term trends and future projections? HCCAC's
series of census reports will answer these and
many other questions. If you would like the

HCCAC Census Reports
HCCAC will publish a series of census reports describing the results of the '90 Cen-
sus for Hennepin County. The reports will focus on census data at the minor civil
division (city) level. Each report will be published shortly after the applicable data
are released by the U.S. Census Bureau. The series will include the following (antici-
pated publication dates are shown in parentheses after each). In addition, other
reports may be published depending on demand.
1. Population Growth & Distribution (Spring 1991)
2. Racial Characteristics (Spring 1991)
3. Age & Sex Distribution (Summer 1991)
4. Household Types & Living Arrangements (Fall 1991)
5. Population Projections (Winter 1991)
6. Income & Poverty Status (Spring 1992)
7. Housing Characteristics (Summer 1992)
Special Projects
HCCAC is especially well-equipped to provide customized analyses. In the past,
HCCAC analysts have helped clients with a wide range of projects. These have
included market research such as the number of families with children under six
within a three-mile radius of an intersection in Minneapolis; analysis of household
size and education levels within owner -occupied housing valued over $80,000;
analysis of ethnic origin of the Asian population, broken down by municipality and
ability to speak English; and an analysis of the number of noninstitutionalized eld-
erly below the poverty line in selected suburban cities. To present results, HCCAC
uses a combination of sophisticated computer mapping and computer graphics
programs to highlight patterns in the data of most interest to our clients.
Hover To Order
If you are interested in receiving any or all of the census bulletins, fill out the en-

Communications
Chairman:
1. Resolution No. 3-4-91 from the City of Medicine Lake had been received reappointing John
O'Toole to the Commission for a three year term. (No mention was made of an Alternate
Commissioner appointment).
2. A communication has been received from Endispute asking for an evaluation and assessment of the
Alternate Dispute Resolution process used with the Corps of Engineers regarding the dispute in
Crystal. Mr. Spychalla explained that the Corps has a contract with Endispute just to get an
evaluation.
3. A letter had been received from the Corps of Engineers dated March 22 entitled "The Proposed
Partnership Agreement" for the Markwood/Edgewood unit construction contract. This is a general
outline of the partnership concept between the Corp and the local sponsor and outlines the process.
4. New Hope has had their City Planner looking at the Flood Plain Ordinance. Mr. Kremer has not
reviewed it. Mr. Enck said he would like comments.
Counsel:
1. Mr. Pearson referred to the communication from the West Mississippi Watershed Management
Commission to Mr. Ron Hamack of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources regarding
BWSR Proposed Rules for Surface Water Management. Acopy of the letter was included in the
packet sent to the Commissioners.
2. Mr. Pearson said he had conferred with Mr. Kremer who had had a conference with Mr. Ron
Harnack, the recently appointed director of BWSR. They are in the process of going through their
third draft of the proposed guidelines. They have now agreed to set up a committee who will
review and try to redraft the guidelines in a form more acceptable to WMOs and cities. That draft
will be presented to the Task Force and there is no assurance that major changes will occur.
3. Mr. Pearson reported on the EPA regulations relating to a need for stormwater permits for cities
with a population of less than 250,000i n certain cases, i.e., motor vehicle repair facilities, land
fills, etc. All of our cities will be affected by the rules promulgated by EPA. Mr. Pearson said it
behooves this group to start studying it and keep abreast with development. It will affect every
member community except Medicine Lake. He mentioned that the North Carolina League of Cities
sponsored a group permit. Mr. Kremer said that Minnesota has indicated that they are going to
handle as many permits as they possible can with a general permit. Mr. Kremer further explained
that a General Permit would be used to cover as many facilities as possible and that a regular permit
would be involved in special situations. lie said he had hedard concern expressed that in a group
permit there could potentially be some liability for what is happening in other people's facilities.
Mr. Kremer said the PCA will keep us advised as to how they will handle the general permit. Mr.
Pearson recommended that this be placed on our agenda regularly as "Report on EPA Stormwater
Permit Process" under "Old Business."
Mr. Kannankutty will be meeting with the PCA. They will be reviewing whether adjacent cities
will be appolying jointly with Minneapolis. He said the PCA should be making a decision within
the next two weeks. He strongly recommended that someone meet with the Minnesota League of
Cities to keep them advised and involved. Mr. Pearson agreed wholeheartedly. Mr. Kremer will
get information together and send a letter to the League of Cities. He will copy the Commissioners.
The National Association of Flood and Stormwater Management Agencies has filed a petition to
intervene on behalf of EPA n a lawsuit commenced by an environmental group suing EPA on the
grounds that the rules are not tough enough to implement what Congress has passed. The
environmental group is asking for requirements and permits that are tougher.
C. m, APR 13 `91
7:Z7._

There was further discussion regarding intervention on behalf of the EPA, sending information out
regarding support from member organizations, asking for technical assistance, etc. The
Commission is a member of the National Association of Flood and Stormwater Management
Agencies. Mr. Pearson raised the question of insurance for the Bassett Creek WMO because of
these potential new problems. Mr. Enck suggested getting together with Lary Watts and David
Sonnenberg. Mr. Pearson has information from Peter Tntz, an attorney who represents the
Municipal League Insurance Trust.
Miscellaneous
1. Howard Lawrence Appraisals, Inc. has prepared an appraisal of the Theodore Wirth easement
which has been submitted to the Corps for credit against our local share requirements. The appraisal
indicated the value of the easement is worth Four Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars less the
value of the golf course use of $1,000,000, entitling Bassett Creek to a credit in the amount of
$3,300,000.
Mr. Spychalla was asked when the Corps would respond to this appraisal. He said it would take at
least a month. Mr. Pearson asked him to help expedite the rieview of the appraisal. He also asked
Mr. Spychalla to give an update at the April meeting. Mr. Spychalla said it is to the Corps' benefit
to have quick action. Chairman Enck indicated this should be resolved before Colonel Baldwin
leaves in June.
2. Mr. Spychalla briefly walked through a summary of the costs for the units of the flood control
project. He gave an assessment of what it might mean in terms of cash. The Commission has paid
$2,700,000 in cash to date toward their cash share of the project. With the high valuation at Wirth
Park, the cash contributions drop to about $2,100,000 which means that if we qualify for the
credits there may be an overpayment of approximately $600,000. Mr. Kremer said we still have
funds coming from the State of Minnesota to aid the project.
Commissioners:
Mr. Monk asked if the proposed Partnership Agreement with the Corps is something new. Mr.
Spychalla replied that it is used primarily with the construction contracts on the project. The
intention is to get the local sponsor, the contractor, and the Corps to get together and to try to avoid
litigation. He said he doesn't know how well it will work. There would be a joint signing
ceremony by a representative from the City of Minneapolis, Bassett Creek, and the Corps. Mr.
Pearson was asked for his comment. He stated the document was basically symbolis and pledged
that everyone will be cooperative. It was moved by Mr. Monk and seconded by Mr. Gustafson that
Mr. Enck be authorized to sign the contract on behalf of the Commission. Carried unanimously.
Engineer:
1. Mr. Kremer had a letter from the PCA in response to our request to amend the Medicine Lake
Project grant to allow us (Barr Engineering) to analyze the potential of retrofitting and/or upgrading
detention basins in the direct drainage area to Medicine Lake (Clean Lakes Program Phase H
Grant). They reviewed the support data and have had discussion with Mr. Don Roberts of the
EPA. The EPA position is that a revision of the work activities identified in the grant is allowable
but that the need to provide controls of nonpoint pollution source over the entire watershed remains.
The grant agreement must contain the following special condition" Ensure protection of lake water
quality by developing and adopting ordinances/regulations sufficiently stringent to effectively
control construction and post -construction runoff." Mr. Kremer said the Commission will be
reviewing the policy. One will have to be adopted. It was suggested that we write to the PCA now
and say we are looking at the policy but that it will take a period of time to come back with
comments. Mr. Enck added that we should write and ask where other organizations had agreed to
these far reaching commitments. Mr. Silberman asked if we were losing ground in the Medicine
Lake situation.
�irf �►pQ 1'91
T � Y
jam+ 4
Consensus seemed to be that we need to rethink the entire grant application. It was pointed out that
prior estimates regarding extra costs for developers and prospective owners will be very high. Mr.
Pearson stated the question remains: Is a $100,000 grant worth the extra regulations and the
commitment to move forward on programs that the Federal and State Government desire but for
which there are very limited Federal or State resources. It was decided to defer this to the April
meeting. Mr. Kremer will prepare a recap of the program for the April meeting. Mr. Runke will
attend the meeting.
2. Copy of a groundwater appropriation permit that was granted to General Mills. This will be used
to remediate some contamination around the General Mills project. It will be discharging to a
sanitary sewer. Mr. 07oole said they will use it as part of their irrigation system.
New Business
1. Request for comments on a permit application by the Hennepin County Parks. This is a 75x3OO
swimming area which has been cordoned off with a curtain to improve water quality and protect
swimmers from "swimmer's itch." They propose to place sand on the bottom to cover the muck.
Mr. Kremer recommended that we send a letter saying the proposed action is in accordance with
our plan. Moved by Mr. Gustafson, seconded by Mr. Rye, carried unanimously.
Old Business: None.
Adjournment
Since there was no further business, it was moved by Mr. Kannankutty and seconded by Mr.
Gustafson that the meeting adjourn. Chairman Enck adjourned the meeting at 1:25 P.M.

April 11, 1991
Mayor and Council
City of Plymouth
3400 Plymouth Boulevard ;''_ %'I'
Plymouth. Minnesota 55447
Attention: Frank Boyles, Assistant. City Manager V
Dear Mayor and Council:
A brief report on first quarter activity for Plymouth residents: an
assault, landlord/tenant, two juvenile vandalism cases were successfully
mediated with signed agreements; one business/business case, the other
party refused. Five cases in total.
In the first three months, WSMC handled 58 cases; 37 were mediated;
5 conciliated due to our intervention; 30 information and referral calls;
374 people served.
Three new Board members have been elected, an attorney from Golden
Valley, Lee Mosher; Representative Sally Olsen, and Jeannine Dolejsi,
publisher. We are most pleased with your recent appointment to the Board.
The brochure for schools, businesses and police to encourage usage of
mediation for juveniles is now ready for distribution (enclosed).
Plans are underway to have a program on dispute resolution in the
afternoon prior to the annual meeting of the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities on May 30th.
Sincerely,
Susan A. Nelson
Executive Director

KERT. 10015 - 47TH PLACE 55442
PROBLEM: Ms. Eckert and her fiance recently purchased a home in
Plymouth. They own the home jointly. She reports
that mail she has received from the City is addressed
only to her fiance. Because she is joint owner, she
would like to have her name added to the
Finance/Assessing mail list.
SOLUTION: The request for the change in the mailing list was
forwarded to Dale Hahn and Scott Hovet.

MIKE GARRON (no spelling given), HOUSE NUMBER UNINTELLIGIBLE
ROSEWOOD LANE
PROBLEM: Caller said he was looking for some unspecified
information in the white and yellow pages. He called
to complain to the City when he could not find it.
SOLUTION: Because there is no Garron listed in the phone book
under the various spellings checked on Rosewood Lane,
it was impossible to follow up on the call to
determine if Mr. Garron was looking for city -related
information, or if he believed the city was affiliated
with producing the phone books.

PROBLEM: Residents at 1540 Fountain Lane have had garbage and
tree branches in their yard since last fall, creating
an eyesore. They are now raking leaves into the
street.
SOLUTION: 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.

NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARK ASSOCIATION SIXTH ANNUAL SWIMMING POOL AND
AQUATIC CONFERENCE, FEBRUARY 14-20, 1991
Report by Cindy Anderson
Recreation Specialist
Purpose:
Nationally recognized leaders in the aquatic field gathered to provide
information for aquatic leaders on education and training, publicity and
marketing, legislation, standards of development, insurance and risk
management.
Course material covered:
Risk management certification program included: accident prevention, employee
training and evaluation, preparation for a lawsuit, chemical safety, risk
management and its insurance and consultants (note: I graduated from this
certification with top honors).
Aquatic workshops attended included: staff development, administrative and
operational strategies, spinal injury management, crisis media management,
safe diving, marketing programs and facilities to maximize revenues.
Plymouth implementation:
Jr. Lifeguard & Lifeguard -in -Training - new program.
Improvements in water safety aide program.
Crisis media management format implemented.
Spinal injury management - new safer techniques.
Lifeguard communication system - nonverbal signals.
Improved risk prevention for pool guards.
Water safety day combined with the Water Carnival.
Improved staff training and skill development.
Designing effective safety signs.
New and innovative marketing strategies.
Plymouth will have over 81,000 participants attend our public beaches and over
2,000 swimming lesson participants at the two city run pools this summer. In
addition, over 40 seasonal aquatic staff will be employed.
Personal note: I have attended many recreation and aquatic conferences. This
conference gave me an abundance of valuable take-home information. I found it
to be an excellent conference that not only furthered my education to do a
better job for the City, but will enable our 40+ seasonal staff to provide a
safer environment for our community.

Henn co. commissioner
Judy Makowske
A-2400 Government Ctr.
300 So. 6th St.
Mpls., MN. 55487
RE: Meeting at Scanticon-- Union City Mission & the Neighborhood.
First of all I want to thank you for attending this meeting. I know .
that I speak for many residents of this area in expressing appreciation
and thanks for your concern.
I am enclosing an article from the Star & Tribune that I had mentioned
to you. I feel there were so many similarities between what that area
is experiencing and what my area is also experiencing.
Although the article deals with the specific issue of a Henn. County
garbage transfer station, the concept of the neighborhood situation
relates very closley with my neighborhood. (Also, --- there is a
proposed site for a Henn. Co. garbage transfer station in Plymouth; the
site is located on this side of Hwy.#494 (East Side) and Co. Rd. 6).
All the various Mission Farm facilities and Hazeldon Treatment Ctr. are
also located on this east side of #494. Add to this Henn. Co. Suburban
Detox Ctr, a Senior High School, Middle school & elementary school.
We also feel this area is being used as a dumping ground by both our
City and Henn. County.
Similarities between our neighborhood & the one in the article:
Union City Mission is located in one of the oldest developed areas
of Plymouth.
This area has the only Suburuban Henn. Co. Detox
We are divided by two Freeways: #494 & #169. (To the south boarder is
Mwdicine Lk.)
We feel this area of Plymouth is being used as a dumping ground by both
Henn. County and our City.
The proposed garbage transfer site (Henn. Co.) is to be put on This east
side of #494 & Co. Rd. 6.
This immediate area is over -run with rehabilitative institutions.
Judy,. again thanks for coming to the meeting. I am glad I had the chance
to meet you. It was di ap in ing 03ALnot one official from the City of
Plymouth was in attendance; however we
Fere pleased that approximatoly-
res n s were_ o at en -

Dear Mr. Bergman
It is important that I emphasize
plans for improvement of streets
family residential neighborhood
as it no doubt needs it as they
storm sewers and have less than
Re:Project #102
=• �%A b
District #3 \ ��
that I do not object to city.,:':`-;�;\
and sewers in the single
to the West of Nathan Lane
do not have curb,gutter or
standard street widths.
What I and others on Natan Lane object to is the inclusion
of Nathan Lane in this__i �s project. We have absolutely
nothing to benefit from any work done in this disconnected
Western portion. The streets are not connected and do not
intersect. We are two separate and distinct areas and should
be treated as such.
Nathan Lane was constructed twenty years after the other area
was developed. Nathan Lane was built sewer installed ,curb
and gutters put in,paved and paid for by the developer and
deeded to the,:,ghe cost of all of this work has obviously
been absorbedeythe subsequent owners and tennants in their
purchase of adjoining property.
Why should we now be expected to subsidize similar work in
another area from which we do not benifit in any way?
The city claims to be paying 70% of the costs of this project
from general funds,but in fact your engineering firm has advised
me that the total estimated expenditure on Nathan Lane is
only $148 OOO.,but will assess approximately $200 000. against
Nathan Lane Property owners -If in fact the city were to correct
their assessment rates for "high density" property this obvious
inequity could be corrected.Our 30% share Of $148 OOO.would
only amount to $44 400. for all of the property abutting Nathan
Lane, not the $200 000. proposed to be assessed by present
projections put forth by your staff.
Your City Manager stated at the April 1 meeting that the
rates proposed could not be changed.He even stated that the
figures used in in his calculations could not be changed as
they were established by City council action. Both of these
contentio& are obviously false.First of all these rates were
already changed since we were first notified of the intended
assessment,so I have to believe they t&4 hardly sacred and
were manipulated to reach a pre -destined dollar amount,not
to achieve an equitable assessment.Secondly,Minnesota Statutes
give the Council the right to review and corrbt any inequalities
in proposed assessments. I call upon you and each of the council
members to fulfill this obligation and d"rrect this glaring
�1 J-
2
inequity.I have consulted the Engineering Depts. of several
area cities and have bees assured that that they regularly
review and amend proposed assessments and particularly rerain
from imposing assessments on non -affected property.
Minnesota Statutes 429.051 states that the cost of of any
improvement may be assessed upon property benefited by the
improvemnt. To date no one has demonstrated that the residents
of Nathan Lane would derive any benefit from any work done
in the totally detached area to the West of Nathan Lane. Therefor
it is painfully obvious that we, the residents of Nathan Lane
should not be lumped together with a totally dissimilar
single-family area not conncted to our entirely differant
neighborhood.
In fact,if it is your intent that one neighborhood should
subsidize another,+ ,then the single-family area should
subsidize Nathan Lane which, as a "collector street" is used
by them regularly to reach highways and businesses in St.Louis
Park and Minnetonka to the South and of 96XX6x%k9kR1RxdxBaxkxx
course the Shelard Park bank and business places
Nathan Lane is designated in your street program as a"collector
street" and as such should be supported by general funds and
the State Aid program supported b
not by the adjacent property owners who haveboughtpaid for this street once already.
Please give us your help in this matter.

I have reviewed the sale of convenience fares with Gary Neilson, the
manager of our Plymouth NewMarket. Gary and I both feel that the sale of
convenience fares at our Plymouth NewMarket is both practical and consistent
with the kind of services we provide our customers at the customer service
area. We are prepared to begin selling the convenience fares as soon as it
is convenient for the MTC staff to set up the account relationship.
We are not currently interested in selling the fares at the Plymouth
Cub Store. We do not have a full service customer service center to conven-
iently handle such transactions. If we decide in the future that we can assist
the Metro Link - MTC program by selling convenience fares at the Cub, we will
let you know.
Thank you for bringing this opportunity to our attention.
Sincerely,
Steve Erickson

Mr. James Bremer has asked that I assist him in recovering
monies owing to him from the City of Plymouth. Attached is a copy
of an October 25, 1990 letter, with attachments, which was not
answered.
The amount you owe is small but Mr. Bremer is not prepared to
ignore it. He is extremely disappointed in your lack of response
and I am concerned about the conduct of a governmental agency.

Dear Mr. Moore:
The following is a summary of the error in the refund made to me
for Zinnia Lane Special Assessments, City Project #426.
1) The original assessment was $5,638.24 (See attached marked
"Alf ) .
2) On my 1986 Hennepin County Property Tax Statement I was
charged Principal of $563.87 and Interest of $879.57 (See
.attached marked "B").. This of course was paid.
3) The settlement between the City of Plymouth and myself was to
reduce the assessment from $5,638.24.to $2,490.03 with interest
to be computed from December 12, 1986 the date of this settlement
(See attached marked "C").
4) Your letter to Alan Albrecht of May 6, 1987 states you were
making payment back to me of principal of $563.87 plus $21.99 in
interest for 5 months (See attached marked "D").
5) The new assessment was spread over 9 years etc. (See attached
marked "E").
The $21.99 in interest clearly is calculated on the principal of
the assessment. You forgot to return to me the $879.57 I was
charged and paid on my 1986 Property Tax Statement, plus interest
I might add!
Fred, as I stated in my phone conversation the error is very
clear.
I expect payment of $879.57 plus interest from the City of
Plymouth�mmed)i.ately. .

SUBJECT: ZINNIA LANE - SPECIAL ASSESSMENT APPEALS
CITY PROJECT NO. 426
Dear Mr. Bremer:
Thank you for sending me a copy of the judgment on the appeals of the
assessments for the above project. This document confirms the amount
that the assessment was to be reduced down to which was $2,490.03 and
also that interest would be charged on this assessment starting from
December 12 of 1986. Nowhere in this document does it state how much or
how any previous payments would be refunded.
I am attaching a copy of a letter to Mr. Allen Albrecht of Albrecht &
Albrecht Lawyers from Mr. Fred Moore, the City's Director of Public
Works dated May 6, 1987. In this letter he refers to how the amount of
refund on previous payments will be determined according to the
stipulated agreement. I am also enclosing a copy of the resolution
passed by the City Council reducing special assessments for the five
properties that appealed and received reductions of their special
assessments. The resolution also states how the refund will be
determined.
Unless you can show documentation which proves that the refunds of
previous payments were not made according to the approved agreement, we
will take no further action in this matter. I have requested that the
City's attorney provide me with a copy of the full judgment in this
appeals case. Upon receiving this judgment, I will fax you a copy of it
also.

On May 4, 1987, the City Council adopted a resolution reducing the Special
Assessments in accordance with the stipulated agreement. We will be sending
this resolution to Hennepin County this week, and it is my understanding that
they will issue a new tax statement to each one of the property owners. The
revised assessment will be spread over the remaining years of the original
levy or for a period of nine years. One ninth of the principal will be
payable each year together with interest at the rate of 9.36% based on the
unpaid balance.
Each one of the property owners made a payment on the Special Assessment in
1986, before we entered into the stipulated agreement. As previously agreed,
the City of Plymouth will refund to each one of the property owners the
principal amount paid on the Special Assessment in 1986. To this amount we
will add interest for the period December 12, 1986 to May 12, 1987, as stated
in the stipulated agreement. The following is the amount of refund which
will be made to each property owner.
