FOR YOUR INFORMATION.....
1. NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY FILING FOR ELECTRIC RATE
INCREASE -- In January, NSP filed for an electric rate
increase with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission
(PUC). At a hearing on March 15, the PUC did not
authorize the immediate imposition of the new fees which
NSP requested to take effect March 29. The Commission
has suspended the proposed new rates, but will allow,
according to state law, the company to put into effect
interim rates on March 29. These interim rates will
remain in effect until the PUC has reached a final
determination as to the amount of rate increase NSP
should be permitted. Based upon data provided by NSP,
the average monthly bill for residential service will
change as noted below:
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE
The rates requested by NSP amount to 8.1% and would
generate $98,198,000 annually. The PUC will now be
examining the company's request and then providing an
opportunity for customers to comment at public hearings
at a later date.

2. STATUS OF POLICE OFFICER NEGOTIATIONS -- Attached is a
memorandum from the police officer and investigator
negotiators confirming that they have accepted an
agreement for calendar year 1991, which includes a 4%
wage increase at all steps, $275 per month city insurance
contribution, full payment of single health coverage, and
full payment of single dental coverage for the least
expensive plan. We are preparing an addendum to the
contract for execution by the police officer negotiators.
I intend to have this item on the City Council agenda for
April 1. Following that, the Finance Department will
implement the provisions of the agreement. (I-2)
3. OPEN BURNING PERMITS -- Each year the City secures a
burning permit for the diseased tree disposal site. In
addition, the Park Maintenance Department annually issues
approximately 58 permits for the burning of stumps and
other tree waste, primarily to developers. The County
Dispatch has advised us that they intend to change their
policy regarding burn permits. In the past, the permit
holder would contact Hennepin County Dispatch to indicate
when their fire would be started, its duration, and other
pertinent facts. If the County subsequently received a
fire call for a burn site, they would not convey it to
the Fire Department and therefore, no fire run would be
made. For liability reasons, the County has now decided
that all fire calls will be passed along to the
appropriate fire department. This eliminates any
possibility of the County Dispatcher mistaking a burning
permit fire with an actual fire.
This change in policy could have major impacts. For the
Fire Department it means that they may end up responding
to a greater number of "false alarms" which are related
to burning permits. Their initial reaction is to
eliminate burning permits altogether. Unfortunately, the
elimination of burning permits has major negative effects
on the Forestry Division and developers in the community.
Without the burn permits, the City is unable to operate
its elm and oak disposal facility. This will translate
into higher costs for Plymouth residents to have their
diseased shade trees disposed of. Since this wood will
ultimately end up in landfills, it will further
exacerbate the environmental concerns in this area.
Finally, developers will incur increases in cost to
dispose of tree wastes. These costs will, no doubt, be
borne by the consumer.
Representatives of the Public Safety, Park and
Recreation, and Administration Departments are working
together to develop a means of ensuring that the City can
continue to issue burning permits without increasing
false alarms. I will keep the Council advised on this
topic.

4. TOWN MEETING AGENDA -- Attached is the Town Meeting
agenda for Area 2. The notice and agenda were mailed out
to approximately 5,218 residents on March 15. (I-4)
5. NEWS RELEASES - CHARTER COMMISSION AND BUILDING PERMIT
PROCESS -- The attached memo from Joe Ryan describes
publicity done in response to Council direction regarding
permit application requirements for homeowners and
remodeling contractors. A videotape was presented on
Northwest City's program on Channel 35 and a news release
was distributed to the local media and the homeowner
associations.
A news release was also issued this week relative to the
Council's decision to reactivate the Charter Commission
and seek applications from residents interested in
appointment. This release was mailed to the local media,
home owner associations, and local service clubs and
organizations. Notice was also posted at the City Center
and placed on Channel 37. (I-5)
6. 1991 STREET RECONSTRUCTION -- Attached are copies of
petitions submitted at the March 18 Council meeting on
the proposed Project 102, 1991 Street Reconstruction.
(I-6)
7. CRIME ALERT -- The Police Department has issued the
attached crime alert to parents and individual picking up
children at day care facilities. According to Dick
Carlquist, purse and wallet thefts are occurring when
vehicles are left unlocked and unattended by the driver.
(I-7)
8. 1991 NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN UP PROGRAM -- Attached is a draft
letter to Homeowner Associations advising of changes to
the clean up program including the unavailability of
refuse containers by the City. The Council should review
the letter and advise Frank Boyles of any changes or
revisions. The letter will be mailed out shortly. (I-8)
9. HENNEPIN COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT -- I have received
the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission's 1990
Water Quality report. A copy of the report is available
in my office if Councilmembers wish to review it.
10. 1990 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM - LETTER TO THE
EDITOR -- The attached letter to the editor appeared in
the March 20 issue of the Sailor. Mr. & Mrs. Edward
Galauski wrote to complain that money escrowed for the
1990 street improvement project should be released to the
extent that it exceeds our project costs. The City has
no control over the amount which is escrowed by lending
institutions. It is my understanding that they normally
CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMO
March 22, 1991
Page 5
escrow 1.5 times the estimated project amounts in order
to provide a safety factor. Once special assessments
have been levied, the difference between the amount
escrowed and the amount of the assessment is disbursed,
presumably to the former property owner. In the case of
the 1990 street improvement project, we estimated the
costs would be $923 per parcel. The amount which is
being recommended for the April 22 hearing is $815. The
Assessment Committee, in reviewing the 1991 assessment
project, has suggested means by which the Council can
ensure the property owners at the beginning of the
process the amount of their assessments for street
reconstruction.
Mr. & Mrs. Galauski in their letter state, "after
numerous calls to City Manager James Willis,...". It is
possible I spoke to one of them last fall regarding this
project. I do recall talking with someone whose name I
do not recall. I have not had any additional calls since
then; I presume any calls they made were referred to our
Engineering Department staff where such calls are
normally directed.
Also attached is a memo from City Engineer Dan Faulkner
on this issue. (I-10)
11. SCATTERED SITE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM - PROGRESS REPORT --
Attached is a progress report from Housing Specialist
Milt Dale on the Scattered Site Homeownership Program.
His memo covers the process to be used for selection of
eligible families for the homes on Glacier Lane and
Pilgrim Lane. (I-11)
12. MAPLE GROVE/PLYMOUTH BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT -- During 1990,
the City Councils of both Plymouth and Maple Grove agreed
to study a proposed boundary change in the area of the
Maple Grove Mall at County Road 10 and Quinwood Lane.
The attached memo from Chuck Dillerud, Community
Development Coordinator, provides an update on this
issue, as well as maps outlining the existing and
proposed boundaries. (I-12)

3-21-91
To: Jim Willis, Frank Boyles, and Jeanette Sobania
From: L.E.L.S. Local 18 Negotiators and Members
On 3-2a-91, a meeting was Held to discuss the City's latest
proposal, and also to then hold a vote on the proposal. The proposal
considered was as follows:
* 4% wage increase at all steps, across the board
* $275.00 insurance contribution from the city towards medical
and dental insurance premiums.
* 100% insurance contribution for employee's carrying single in-
surance coverage. In regards to dental insurance, 100% of the
lowest premium coverage.
After some discussion, a vote was held. The results of the
vote were to accept this current proposal, and thus extend the
remainder of the contract for the 1991 year.
Thank You

SUBJECT: BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS/REQUEST FOR CHARTER
COMMISSION APPLICATIONS
Dear Homeowner Association President:
I would appreciate your help in publicizing two city -related
items. I have attached notices on both.
o This summer many Plymouth residents may be considering making
home improvements for which they will need building permits. We
want to encourage those people to begin planning now for those
projects and allow plenty of time for their project application
to be reviewed and a permit issued.
o The City Council is also seeking applications from citizens who
are interested in serving on the City Charter Commission.
Applications are due by noon on Friday, April 19.
Please share this information with your association members. If
you have any questions, please call me at 550-5016.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Helen LaFave

AVOID DELAYS; APPLY FOR BUILDING PERMITS EARLY
To avoid delays as the construction season gears up,
Plymouth residents are encouraged to apply for their building
permits early. Residents who are planning to reside or reshingle
their home, finish their basement, build a deck, porch, garage,
room addition or a host of other projects need to obtain a
building permit. Permits are also required for the installation
of fences.
It can take up to seven working days to issue a permit once
a completed application is submitted. There are certain
developments within the community which may require additional
approvals. In those areas, more time is required for the permit
to be issued.
"We want to ensure that people who are contemplating work
that needs a permit are not disappointed about the time required
to review an application. We understand people often do not
account for the permit process as they plan their projects and
the time to do them. Residents should start the process early so
that they have their permit when they are ready to start
construction," said Building Official Joe Ryan.
For more information on building permits and the types of
projects requiring permits, call 550-5030, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.,
Mon. - Fri. To obtain an informational brochure on a specific
project, people may call 550-5040, 24 hours a day, and leave
their name, phone, address and project type (deck, porch, fence,
etc.) The information will be mailed. The brochures may be also
be obtained at the City Center, 3400 Plymouth Blvd.

SUBJECT: PUBLICITY REGARDING PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR HOMEOWNERS
AND REMODELING CONTRACTORS
In response to your memo dated March 13, 1991, I have completed phase I of the
City Council's directive by producing the following:
A five minute segment explaining our application and permit
requirements was presented on the Northwest City's program (channel
35). The major emphasis of the segment was to encourage residents
who were planning to undertake a home improvement project this
spring to begin planning for it now.
A local media news release has also been produced and distributed
through the Plymouth Sailor, The Weekly News, Northwest Community
Television (channel 37) as well as a letter to all of the Homeowner
Associations which includes a written announcement.
I am currently in the process of completing a brochure which is intended for
distribution at our front service counter.
Our informational handouts and checklists have been updated and readily
available for distribution at the public service counter and for individuals
who may require such materials by mail.
Please see me should you have any further questions.

CHARTER COMMISSION REACTIVATED, APPLICATIONS SOUGHT
The Plymouth City Council is seeking applicants to serve on
the City Charter Commission. Applications can be obtained by
calling 550-5014 and are due by noon on Fri., April 19.
Appointments to the charter commission are made by the
District Court. The City Council will make recommendations to
the court based upon the applications received.
The Charter Commission will consider whether it is
advisable to recommend a city charter defining the specific
framework, operating procedures and regulations associated with
Plymouth government. If the Commission recommends a Charter, it
would be voted on by Plymouth residents.
The City Council reactivated the Charter Commission at a
March 18 meeting. The issue arose when the League of Women
Voters and League of Plymouth Voters suggested that the City
consider changing its form of government from a statutory city to
a home rule charter city.
Statutory cities derive their powers from state statutes
and do not have any powers not specifically granted by state law.
Home rule charter cities can exercise any powers that their
locally adopted charters give them as long as those powers do not
conflict with state law.
The original 15 member Charter Commission which was formed
in 1968 never completed its work. Therefore, Plymouth remained a
statutory city.

A RESPONSE AND REQUEST TO THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM THE COMMUNITY IN DISTRICT S
TO THE PROPOSED STREET AND STORM SEWED: PROJECT DUE TO BE VOTED ON TONIGHT
The community represented by District 3 in Plymouth's street maintenance
program received notice of the proposed improvements and their rest in
the last week: in February, a total of three weeks ago. The news was
received initially with much resistance and (inure than a little
frustration because of the costs involved and because of the relatively
short notice.
We initially, by petition, universally Opposed the proposed improvements.
Since then, we have (Ile'•= with the city's representatives on two occasions.
The first meeting was the evening of the ltn of March, at which time. We
were presented witn Plymouth's generic informational program concerning
routine maintenance of the streets. We were also presented with all
..
+. tlsl .t al g+l_ltllne o1. the proposed changes for +.+1Ir neighborhood, =i t_ given
;_:rop=:=e."d assessment figure of $20 per foot (excepting Nathan Lane) plus
an $832 per lot resurfacing assessment.
At t.'._ first meeting your representatives patiently listened as community
members voiced their initial 'round of venting, and answered what
questions they could sincerely a i d openly.
we :Ie-- a second meeting for opendiscussion a l d option j _. l _ i , ron -_
;
evening of Marco ick. The discussion was fc+!:ussC:de positive, and
p =` enteo an opportunity for the community to begin addressing the needs
that could be ser'v'ed by a project such as has been proposed. I_galsE:nsus:
was formea around several facets of the project, and nearly universal
acceptance for thero
p . j e _. t emerged.
Several E;t_'y points were Liali(oLSlj proposed by the community, _+ l i d
several need further debate. Those Points unanimously supported include
the following:
1 1 . The project deeds t! i be done. if not this year, then it will be done -
in the next couple of years, so there is little reason to delay.
2). Itiere are issues of aesthetics that were universally important to the
community. These issues were debated and had nearly universal support.
They included the following:
a). That the streets not be widened beyond 2E feet as that would
substantially change the nature of the community.
b). That the type of curb installed be the Sloped kind that our
children can ride over with their bicycles.
c). That the loss of 'trees be avoided -
-iued whie'r e�t:r possible.
d). That thy water problem be addressed in planning the storm sewer
installation, so that theproject, i possible, i_ a n solve t hl t"
community proa le(_ of water dl`Ie'rsig+tl. The specifics o1' this need
s_
further debate and planning. Toe ct+lli(i!unity wishes to be a ;"part
of . _, _ planning and has several specific i -LlE?s to further
con:_ide."r and debate.
1:r 4
Vii). There were problems, unique to this community which tired further
community discussion before we can present our recommendations for action
to the city. They included the following:
a7. There are safety issues to be solved. These include the speed
limit, the frontage road access problem at Quaker latae, school bus
stop designations, and possibly walkways along the frontage road.
`4 o � certain property owners inordinate) y
b?. That the project ri_,t penalize p -p- y
because of the frontage they have on the roadway. In our
neighborhood that frontage does not always represent the size and
value of the lot accurately. we would like to further discuss, this
issue as a community in order, if possible, to develop a Proposal
to spread tree cost equitably among toe property owners s of our
community.
`'tti. ,tic+.t the Pr+-+nJ.t_m water main be replaced in '`.tle projects or that
the
cause of the repeated main ruptures be f + u c and solved.
5). That th:, community be constructively involved as thti: engineering
assessment is done and a plan is de'Ve opec. The community wishes to O

6!. Nathan cane presents a unique situation whichi must be addressed b
the community iYactSG Their problems are cifferent thanii those of t- -

7?. Finally, and most importantly, the community :-i:s to protest b4-
cWi__.
of the time constraints =laced upon our constructive involvement. Jt•fient. W
were notified of thi__ project Tar too late to oe prepareo for your vote.-
at
o ea'_ this time. We want the city council to ri+_+te our efforts to provi+_1e
constructive input, and we want the council to nate that there has n
been sufficient time to complete the process of venting and option
building. Both are necessary in order to mature the process, provicic
const'ruct'i`:=e input, and facilitate community ownership of the project.
1n order to mature our involvement, we respectfully request a delay o
one month for further community venting and to allow all to
constructively involved in option building.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectively submitted by the community of District 3.

SUBJECT: 1991 NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP PROGRAM
Dear Homeowner Association President:
The City Council has declared May 1991 as "Spring Clean -Up, Fix -
Up, Paint -Up, and Planting Month" in Plymouth.
Because the State Legislature has reduced certain aids to the
City, we have had to cut our budgets by more than $400,000.
Because of these cuts, the City will not be able to make refuse
containers available to homeowner associations
This year, the cleanup program will operate as follows:
I. Refuse Dumpsters
Homeowner associations may rent 20 or 30 yard refuse
dumpsters for their neighborhood cleanup by calling
Charles A. Wegner, Browning Ferris Industries,
941-8394. The cost of the dumpsters assuming Friday
drop off and Monday pickup is:
20 cubic yard container - $375
30 cubic yard container - $485
To avoid hazards to pedestrians and motorists, the
dumpsters may not be located on the travelled portion
of any street. Yard wastes may not be included in the
refuse dumpster. State statute prohibits the
collection of yard waste with refuse. If yard waste is
included, the refuse hauler will charge for the
additional costs of disposal ($150 minimum per
dumpster). I suggest that you call early to make
arrangements.
II. Disposal of Grass and Leaves
Homeowner associations may dispose of grass clippings
and leaves at the City's recycling drop-off center at
14900 - 23rd Avenue North. The yard waste disposal
area is open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through
Friday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday,
beginning in April, except in inclement weather. For
more information on dates and hours of operation, call
550-5070.
III. Disposal of Brush and Small Tree Limbs
The yard waste drop-off facility will also accept brush
and limbs up to 4" in diameter. These tree products
must be separated from the yard waste.
. • - M - - • . • . 9_ . -
Beginning in May, homeowner associations or residents
may obtain compost material and wood chips at no charge
from the yard waste drop-off center. Hours of
operation are as shown above.
We sincerely regret that the City is unable to supply dumpsters.
We hope that your association nonetheless will take advantage of
these facilities to clean vacant private property, commons
property, and public property in your neighborhood to enhance the
image of our community.
Sincerely,
Frank Boyles
Assistant City Manager

1990 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
CITY PROJECT NO. 001
The letter to the editor, "Beware of Street Improvements," was written by
Edward and Denise Galuski and they refer to numerous calls to the City
Manager, Jim Willis. I conferred with Dan Campbell on this article and he
indicated he had talked with the Galuskis late last fall and approximately
one month ago. He had given them their estimated assessment of $860 and
indicated that the assessment hearing had not yet been set with the City
Council.
Both Dan Campbell and Steve Deuth have talked with several people in a
similar situation with escrowed monies who have called and asked when the
assessments would be determined. They have consistently responded that a
public assessment hearing must be held before the assessments can be
officially determined by the City Council. They suggested people contact
our office periodically to determine the most current status of the
required assessment hearing.

Beware of
To the editor:
We would like to make the
residents of the city of Plymouth
aware of the debacle we ex-
perienced with the city's 1990
road reconstruction. We no
longer reside in Plymouth, but
we would like to prepare others
and encourage them to fight for
their rights.
Back in the spring of 1990 we
were noted of the Plymouth
street -improvement project for
our area. At the time we were
living on the 9900 block of 41st
Avenue North. Since we were in
the process of selling our home,
due to a corporate relocation, we
were told that a special assess-
ment of this nature would be our
responsibility, regardless of the
fact that we would not even own
the property at the time of the
actual reconstruction.
So at the time of closing on our
property, in July 1990, the title
company held 11/z times the pro-
jected costs of our portion of this
street im-`
provemenu
project. We felt somewhat for-
tunate that we were only charg-
ed 11/Z times the cost. It is the
custom of this title company to
withhold as much as 21/2 times
the projected costs. They do this
because they feel that Plymouth
is infamous with regard to
variations in the projected ver-
sus actual costs.
The work on our area was per-
formed and completed in Oc-
tober 1990. To this date, and
after numerous calls to City
Manager James Willis, we have
yet to be reimbursed for the dif-
ference between the actual costs
and the amount of money with-
held from our equity at the time
of closing.
According to Mr. Willis, the
reason our money is still in the
title company's bank account —
earning them interest and yet
not a dime of interest is due us —
is because the Plymouth City
Council has not seen fit to incor-
porate this into -their agenda.
1- 10
Is it because they still do not
know the final cost of the pro-
ject? We find this to be
ludicrous. When one accepts
bids on a project, especially one
of this magnitude, the costs
quoted should be the costs paid.
We question business ethics and
reasons for allowing this situa-
tion to occur. I ask the readers,
"Why is this happening? And
who is benefiting? Locally, how
long can this situation
continue? "
For those residents who are
now involved in 1991 street im-
provements, we urge you to look
into the facts and figures your
are facing. For those of you who
are considering the sale of your
home or refinancing, please
realize the imposition you will
face because of the self-serving
attitude of the City Council
regarding your rights.

SUBJECT: Scattered Site Homeownership Progress Report for March 20, 1991
As of this date, the following activities are in process:
SELECTION OF PROSPECTIVE HOMEBUYERS
1. All applicants (19) from our pool have been notified of the new program
and 8 have submitted applications.
2. Those who submitted applications have been given an initial screening and
it now appears only one candidate may be eligible for the house at 1530
Glacier Lane. We have at least three applicants for the house in Tiburon
(3533 Pilgrim Lane).
3. An announcement has been mailed to the City's ten largest employers and
the churches. Postings have been made at retail centers, at City Center,
and will be run on Cable.
4. Applications received prior to the Noon, April 5, deadline will be
reviewed the week of April 8. A drawing could be held the week of April
15. Perhaps the drawing could be held at the HRA meeting of April 18,
1991 at 6:30 p.m.
5. First chosen applicant would have 15 working days to secure financing.
This would presume a deadline in early or mid-May. Closing could possibly
take place May 31.
6. Contractor to have all landscaping work at 1530 Glacier Lane completed by
May 31.
SECURITY AT HOUSES
1. Both houses are locked, both have light timers, Steve Correll has been
notified the houses are owned by the City and should be watched.
2. Vandals did break in last week at 1530 Glacier Lane through a window.
Repairs have been made. Total cost of repairs will be about $200.

3. Jack Tabery is checking both houses at least once a week. I will also
check periodically.
3533 PILGRIM LANE
1. Two contractors are scheduled to look at this house this week and give me
estimates on making repairs and adding a fire egress window to the lower
level family room allowing its conversion to a third bedroom , if needed.
1530 GLACIER LANE
1. Landscaping still needs to be done with a deadline for completion of May
31, 1991.
2. I have received three fence estimates to enclose the backyard with a six
foot high cedar privacy fence. The low estimate was for $2,050. This
work will likely be done by Countryside Fence.

FROM: Chuck Dille u unity Development Coordinator
SUBJECT: MAPLE GROVE/PLYMOUTH BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.
During 1990, the City Councils of both Plymouth and Maple Grove agreed to
study a proposed boundary change in the area of the Maple Grove Mall, located
at County Road 10 and Quinwood Lane. Attached to this memo are three maps.
Exhibit A shows the existing municipal boundary between the two cities,
Exhibit B identifies the three parcels that are proposed to be moved from one
city to another, and Exhibit C shows the Plymouth Staff proposed municipal
boundary between Maple Grove and Plymouth after the boundary adjustment.
The parcels involved in the proposed changes as shown on Exhibit B include:
Parcel A -- A triangular portion of a Prudential Insurance site located
in Plymouth. The parcel is zoned B-1 (Limited Business) and
a part of the overall Prudential site.
Parcel B -- A vacant site located in Maple Grove is physically a part of
the adjacent site in Plymouth which is zoned B-3 (Service
Business). The same zoning classification would be logical
for the parcel that would become a part of Plymouth.
Parcel C -- A portion of the Maple Grove Mall parking lot located in
Plymouth, now zoned B-3 (Service Business).
If this boundary change is agreed upon by the two cities, the City of Plymouth
has proposed to coordinate the administrative aspects including drafting a
proposed resolution and submitting the proposed boundary change to the State
Municipal Board.
The Planning Commission is being asked to review the proposal and to advise
the City Council regarding any land use considerations.

PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT
FEBRUARY 27, 1991
PRESENT: Dale Knutson, Janice Wilson, Peter Tulkki, Joe Edwards,
Sally Neil, Jane Shaffer; representing MTC: Mike
Christianson, Steve Jaeger, Hugh Hudson, Bruce Bakke;
representing Morley Bus Company: Dennis Ridley, Tom
Janke; representing the City of Plymouth: Frank Boyles
Mike Christianson, Acting MTC Chief Administrator introduced
himself. He stated that the MTC is pleased to provide opt out
services such as Plymouth Metrolink. These services act as
learning laboratories through which MTC can improve its
operations. He asked PACT members if they had any questions.
I. APPROVAL OF JANUARY 16, 1991 MINUTES
The Committee approved the minutes with one correction.
Sally Neil stated that she attended the January 14 meeting
and should be included among those present.
II. REVIEW OF RIDERSHIP STATISTICS
A. Dial -A -Ride
Dennis Ridley reviewed the January statistics
indicating that the rides per hours are between 2.5
and 2.6. His company is working on implementing a new
telephone system which will allow customers to be
stacked, rather than receive a busy signal. This will
allow one dispatcher to dispatch one Dial -A -Ride
system, rather than many systems. This will help
provide continuity in the policies associated with
each system. He stated the computer system is being
revamped as well to assist in scheduling on a more
long-range basis.
He noted that the ridership for January 1991 when
compared with January 1990, has increased from 2,197
passengers to 2,288 passengers. The subsidy is
slightly lower at $7.57 per ride rather than $7.84 per
ride one year ago. The recovery ratio was 14.4% for
both months.

B. Metrolink
Steve Jaeger distributed the ridership statistics for
Plymouth Metrolink northeast and southwest for January
15 through February 22. He stated that the weekly
averages for route 91 vary from a low of 312 trips to
362 trips per day. Route 92 - reverse commuter,
varied from a low of 50 trips per day to a high of 62
trips per day. Route 93 varied from a low of 289
trips per day to a high of 355 trips per day.
He stated there have been some problems in ensuring
that the double Route 93, 5:10 p.m. which was recently
implemented runs immediately after the other one.
This is the reason why during the week of February 18
the second bus ran with very few passengers aboard.
Frank Boyles noted that during the five weeks that. the
5:10 double header was operating, that on only four
days was one bus or the other at or beyond capacity.
Bruce Bakke will work with the drivers to ensure that
the two vehicles are scheduled for the same time,
i.e., 5:10 p.m. and that the drivers are aware that
there are double headers operating at this time so
that they can convey that information to passengers.
Jane Shaffer and Sally Neil stated that customers were
grateful to have the double header to avoid the
necessity of standing all the way home.
III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS
A. Route 93 Vehicle- Status of Repair - Steve Jaeger
stated that he had the maintenance records for each of
the Plymouth Metrolink vehicles. He said that the MTC
is having a very difficult time getting parts for the
German built M.A.N. buses. They are trying to
fabricate door seals. Jane Shaffer reported various
mechanical problems she had noted since the last
meeting. She stated that 1241 still has a problem
with the front door seal, 1245 the back door didn't
work, 1248, 1240, 1243, and 1249 all have one or more
interior lights burned out, and 1245 has a cracked
window on the passenger side. Steve Jaeger said he
would have these problems corrected.
B. Status of Fernbrook Route 91C Lateness in the
Evening - This problem seems to have been corrected
with the addition of another vehicle.
MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT
FEBRUARY 27, 1991
Page 3
C. Bus Overload on 93A, 5:10 p.m. Route - As indicated in
the ridership statistics portion of the minutes, this
has been a successful change if the vehicles run
together and the drivers are aware that it is a double
header. Bruce Bakke will continue to concentrate on
this.
D. Park and Ride Lot Usage and Next Year's Efforts - Hugh
Hudson stated that the Park and Ride lot usage is
rather low, which is not unexpected given the time of
year. He expects it will increase when the nice
weather arrives. Frank Boyles stated that he has
asked the RTB to set aside capital funding which will
allow for improvement of the Park and Ride lots. The
primary work for next year will be the bus pull overs
on both the north and southbound lanes of Lancaster,
which will allow the buses to pull over off the
traveled portion of the roadway safely to allow
passengers to load and unload immediately adjacent to
the Park and Ride lot.
E. PassengersWaitincr in Vehicles to Stav Warm - PACT
members stated that in those instances where buses
were late, the passengers were allowed to stay on the
vehicle unless it was necessary for that vehicle to
continue on to complete a route.
F. Dial-A-Ride/Marketing Cutbacks for 1991 - Frank Boyles
stated that on March 4 the City Council will be
considering $16,000 in cutbacks to the public
transportation system. He said that approximately
half those cutbacks would be drawn from Dial -A -Ride
and the other half from reductions in the marketing
budget. He said that in 1991 it will be possible to
deal with these cutbacks. In 1992 the cutbacks will
be far more severe and may affect the Plymouth
Metrolink and Plymouth Dial -A -Ride operations.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN OR RECOMMENDATION
The cost cutting suggestion was made that we might do away
with the reverse commuter route. The suggestion was to
use the route 75 to Ridgedale from downtown. From there
the mini coaches could pick up the passengers to convey
them to the industrial areas in Plymouth. This solution
will be considered by Steve Mahowald among the other
recommendations to be considered for improvement in our
route 92 service.

matter to further evaluate it. Steve will then share the
information with Frank for further discussion.

NOTES OF PLYMOUTH FORUM
MARCH 18, 1991, 6:30 P.M.
1. Maryann Wysocki, 2950 Kilmer Lane, presented concerns about
the noise generated from traffic on State Highway 169. She
previously submitted a petition to the City containing the
names of residents who share her concern, and had also
contacted then Senator Jim Ramstad to see if he could get the
State to finance landscaping or noise walls between 26th and
31st Avenues North.
Ms. Wysocki stated she has met with City staff members as
well. She has been notified by the State that there is a
moratorium on building noise barriers of this type. To her
knowledge, this moratorium is still in effect.
Councilmember Zitur stated he visited the site and agrees
something should be done; however, he questioned how the City
could be involved since this is a State Highway. City
financial involvement could set a precedent for many other
similar requests.
Mayor Bergman suggested that the City send a letter to the
Minnesota Department of Transportation asking them for noise
abatement.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that the issue of noise
abatement should be addressed in the future when the City is
requested to approve new state and county roadways. Perhaps
the City can set conditions on the approval to ensure that
sufficient landscaping and noise abatement is included.
Staff was directed to send a letter to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation requesting noise abatement in
this location, with a copy to Plymouth's state senators and
representatives.
2. Mary Ellen Kochevar, 14603 County Road 6, presented her
objections to the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee
recommendation and the Council's action which approved
completion of a trail segment between Juneau and Fernbrook
Lanes on the south side of County Road 6. She stated that
this proposed trail would be very dangerous for pedestrians
and suggested an alternate trail along Juneau Lane, southerly
to 14th Avenue and then north and south on Fernbrook Lane.
Ms. Kochevar showed a petition signed by County Road 6 area
residents opposed to the trail. She stated that the
estimated cost of $10,895 for one block of the trail is not
worth expending because the trail will not be used much. She
stated that she wants to save a large cottonwood tree in the
CA, " "

Plymouth Forum
March 18, 1991
Page 2
right-of-way abutting her home and has received past
assurances from the City that the tree will be saved. The
trail may require removal of the tree.
Mayor Bergman suggested that the City wait until County Road
6 street construction is completed and then consider the
trail.
Councilmember Helliwell suggested that the Council reconsider
the trail as approved and consider moving the trail southerly
as suggested by Ms. Kochevar.
The Council directed that this item be placed on the next
City Council agenda and residents abutting the proposed trail
be notified.
3. Dolores Slonlon, 7315 Olympia Street, Golden Valley, stated
there is violence between students at District 281 Armstrong
High School. She described an incident in which her son was
hit by another student. Ms. Slonlon stated that they are
pressing charges with the police department, however, this
will not resolve the other violent acts that are occurring at
the school. She requested that the Council support a program
for a liaison officer at the school.
Councilmember Zitur stated he strongly supports a liaison
officer, but does not support the levy method proposed by
School District 281 to achieve it.
Lynda Grams, 1515 Kelly Drive North, Golden Valley, stated
there are racial tensions and violence at Armstrong High
School. She also supported a liaison officer program.

I.S.D. 284 for a Site Plan and Amended Conditional Use
Permit to allow building additions and other remodeling
at Oakwood Elementary School located at 17340 County
Road 6.
Acting Chairman Stulberg waived the review of the
February 11, 1991 Staff Report.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the additions to
Oakwood Elementary school total 7,000 square feet. He
explained that one addition would fill in an existing
courtyard area and a second addition would be for a
1,000 square foot receiving and trash storage area at
the northeast corner of the building.
Acting Chairman Stulberg introduced Nick Ruehl of the
EOS Architecture Firm representing the petitioner.

Mr. Ruehl introduced his associate Shirajoy Abby also
with the same firm. Mr. Ruehl stated that he had
reviewed the staff memorandum prepared on this
application and that on behalf of District 284 he
understood the conditions recommended and had no
objections.
Acting Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing, and
there being no one present to speak, closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Tierney asked Mr. Ruehl to explain a
feature on the graphics showing a diagonal corridor
running from the building to County Road 6. Mr. Ruehl
explained this to be the proposed corridor for a new
water service. He noted however that the exact location
of the water service was as yet undetermined due to a
need to coordinate with the County Road 6 reconstruction
project.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Tierney to recommend approval the request
by I.S.D. 284 for a Site Plan and Amended Conditional
Use Permit to allow building additions of 7,000 square
feet (6,000 square feet of courtyard infill and a 1,000
square foot receiving and trash containment addition) at
Oakwood Elementary School located at 17340 County Road 6
subject to the conditions listed in the February 11,
1991.
Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried unanimously. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED
Acting Chairman Stulberg introduced the subject of
Zoning Ordinance Regulation of Greenhouses and
Nurseries. He advised the Commission that this was an
item that had been noted for further study by both the
Planning Commission and City Council during a previous
discussion of changes to the Zoning Ordinance regarding
outdoor display, sales and storage.
Coordinator Dillerud reviewed his memo of February 22,
1991. In that memo he had reviewed the history related
to this issue together with the current Zoning Ordinance
provisions of a general nature that would address
nurseries and greenhouses.
He summarized that nurseries and greenhouses would be
subject to the requirements of a Conditional Use Permit
with regard to the outdoor storage, display and sales in
the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts in the same manner as
with other uses that require outdoor storage, display
and sales.
Acting Chairman Stulberg then introduced Gerry Theis of
Dundee Nursery.
Planning Commission Minutes
February 27, 1991
Page 31
Commissioner Stulberg asked Mr. Theis what the problem
was with obtaining a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor
storage, display and sales once his site is within the
Urban Service Area of Plymouth, and appropriately zoned.
Mr. Theis indicated that the issues related to the
screening of his outdoor activities could potentially be
a problem. He noted that screening could become an
unreasonable burden upon any landscape or nursery
business, leading, in a worst case, to the requirement
that the growing of plants be screened from adjoining
properties.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that the City needs to
control outdoor storage of all types. He stated that he
could not understand why outdoor storage, sales and
display was more "natural" with nurseries and
greenhouses than it would be with any other retail uses
that rely on outdoor sales, storage and display.
Mr. Theis repeated that the one major difference is that
many nurseries and greenhouses, including his, include
outdoor growing of products as one their activities.
Commissioner Marofsky noted that Mr. Theis had
substantial rights of nonconformance in existence with
respect to the activities that are now undertaken at his
facility. Until such time as he required permission
from the City for some expansion or change of those
activities the City could not require him to obtain a
Conditional Use Permit with the resulting requirement of
screening for the outdoors sales, storage and display.
A simple change to his building that would not involve
modification of the outdoor activities would not
necessarily trigger a need for the Conditional Use
Permit and resulting screening.
Mr. Theis stated that he was concerned that future
Planning Commissions and City Councils may choose to
address the Ordinance in a manner less accommodating to
his continued business existence, and that he did not
wish to have surprises in the future.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he was not sure
anything needed to be done with the Zoning Ordinance
regarding nurseries and greenhouses. He stated that the
Ordinance currently addresses the outdoor storage,
display and sales for uses in the commercial zoning
districts, including nurseries and greenhouses
adequately.
Commissioner Stulberg advised Mr. Theis that he might
wish to substantiate whatever nonconforming rights he
may have by preparing a certified survey and plan which
M-1 W17,
z 13 C- .
Planning Commission Minutes
February 27, 1991
Page 32
establishes the type of outdoor storage, display and
sales that is currently being undertaken, at his
facility.
Coordinator Dillerud mentioned that at the time the
current building at Dundee Nursery was constructed
following the fire in 1988 just such an inventory was
undertaken and is of record with the City.
Commissioner Zylla stated that the City must concentrate
on land use in general, not the specific concerns of an
individual business such as Dundee. He concluded that
the City needed the Conditional Use Permit process to
monitor and structure outdoor storage, display and sales
for many types of uses, including nurseries.
Commissioner Tierney stated that perhaps the Zoning
Ordinance is in need of new definitions to better
describe what constitutes a nursery or greenhouse. From
the definition, activities that are normally considered
"accessory" could be determined.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that, over time, the
nursery and greenhouse industry will change naturally,
and writing too tight a definition at this time will
overly constrain the Zoning Ordinance with respect to
industry changes in the future.
Mr. Theis reiterated his concern that the growing of
plants could be subject to a Conditional Use Permit for
outdoor storage, or even prohibited altogether in the
future at his location.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Zylla to advise the City Council that it is
the finding of the Planning Commission that the Zoning
Ordinance is now adequate to address the concerns of
Dundee Nursery with respect to the regulation and
control of nurseries and greenhouses based on a review
of existing Zoning Ordinance standards in that regard.
Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE -MOTION CARRIED
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Zylla the Planning Commission voted to not
meet on March 13, 1991.

SUBJECT: HEN IN COUNTY WASTE TRANSFER STATION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICATION (89057)
On March 14, 1991 the City received plans and narrative from Hennepin County
in response to our DRC letter of December 20, 1990, which itself referred to
our DRC letter of November 20, 1990.
On March 19, 1991 the Development Review Committee reviewed the submitted
documents from the County and found submissions responsive to our December 20,
1990 letter except for two minor technical matters related to the graphics.
The Development Review Committee has completed its review of the project and
has determined that the application is sufficiently complete to justify the
scheduling of a Public Hearing to consider the Conditional Use Permit and Site
Plan.
On March 21, 1991 the Development Review Committee met with representatives of
Hennepin County and advised them of the remaining technical deficiencies as
well as a tentative date of April 24, 1991 for a Public Hearing before the
Planning Commission to consider the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan.

(612) 476-3200 FAX 476-3214
As Volunteer Coordinator for the Wayzata School District, I have
had the pleasure to work with the Plymouth Fire Department in
providing Fire Safety programs to students in grades kindergarten
through 6th grade. Since 1985, members of the Fire Department have
set up a system to visit with every classroom in every school
within Plymouth in the Wayzata School District each year. (Prior
to that date, they visited classrooms upon request of the teacher.)
Stan Scofield and others have developed a fire safety curriculum
that has not only instructed students about fire prevention but has
also helped to reinforce each year the information learned the
previous year. They have added the use of "Pluggy" and videos
throughout the years to help get their message across to the
children. As a result, the students enjoy and look forward to the
fire safety programs each year.
The Fire Department has also provided informational services to PTO
and other parent groups throughout the District. Mr. Scofield has
been so kind as to present fire safety information to a group of
volunteers who present the "Be Safe" safety program to 4th grade
students in our District. The volunteers, in turn, can feel
comfortable that they are using accurate data in their
presentations to the children.
The Plymouth Fire Department has been a terrific resource for the
Volunteer office in the Wayzata School District. They have
developed a wonderful system to provide services to all of our
elementary students and have been so very kind to work with the
adult volunteers as well. I hope that we will have the opportunity
to continue to work together in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Ll

SUBJECT: 1991 PLYMOUTH METROLINK/DIAL-A-RIDE BUDGET REDUCTION
Dear Mr. Andrews:
Z- t °i a�,
Because of state revenue shortfalls, the Regional Transit Board
has requested that the City of Plymouth provide assistance by
reducing its 1991 proposed budget.
On March 18, the Plymouth City Council considered a proposal
whereby the City would reduce the proposed 1991 Plymouth
Metrolink budget by $7,500 in line item 1090 - Marketing, and by
$8,500 in line item 1230, which would either eliminate Sunday
Dial -A -Ride service, or require a cutback of evening service
hours. We will make a final decision on which service will be
reduced, based upon further analysis. The City Council has
approved the $16,000 budget reduction.
This $16,000 budget reduction is made as a voluntary effort by
the City of Plymouth to assist the Regional Transit Board in its
budget reduction efforts. The City Council recognizes that it is
more responsible to be part of the solution than the problem.
The Council does, however, reserve the right in the future to use
up to the 90% allowable, by law, if and when such funding proves
necessary based upon the City Council's assessment of transit
opportunities in our growing community.
Let me know if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY LIBRARY SITE
Dear Bob:
I want to confirm what I discussed with you briefly yesterday on
the City Council's action with respect to the proposed Plymouth
community library site. Monday evening, the City Council adopted
two resolutions. IThe first resolution authorizes the firm of
Wilson Development, Inc., to act as the City's land acquisition
specialist to enter into negotiations with Wilfred Cavanaugh for
the proposed library site. We have just sent a letter to Wilson
Development, confirming their appointment and encouraging them to
expedite the process.
In the event that prompt negotiations are not successful, the
City Council adopted a second resolution which authorizes
condemnation of the 5.062 acre site.
During their discussion, Councilmembers questioned whether it was
possible for the City to withdraw from condemnation if it
appeared that the price for the parcel would be excessive. The
City Attorney confirmed that they could. While Councilmembers
are anxious to acquire a site so that construction can take place
as presently scheduled, they are also concerned about the
ultimate price which Plymouth will be called upon to pay,
particularly through the condemnation process.
I would appreciate it if you would convey this information to
members of the Hennepin County Library Board. I will keep you
up-to-date as the acquisition process progresses.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD 6 TRAIL BETWEEN JUNEAU AND FERNBROOK LANE
Dear Ms. Snook:
At their March 18 meeting, the City Council briefly discussed a
proposal which would relocate the proposed trail between Juneau
and Fernbrook Lanes on the south side of County Road 6, to follow
Juneau southerly to 14th Avenue, and then east to Fernbrook.
After some discussion, the Council decided it would be
appropriate to defer the matter to the April 1 meeting in order
that residents in the vicinity would have the opportunity to more
fully share their views with the Council.
On behalf of the City Council, I am inviting you to the Monday,
April 1 meeting which commences at 7 p.m. in the Plymouth City
Center Council Chambers, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. I know that
the Council like your input on this issue. Please let me know if
you have any questions by calling me at 550-5013.

Dear Mr. Theros:
I was sorry to learn that Yesterdays Restaurant in
Plaza closed. This letter will confirm information
by phone from License Clerk Val Krisko.
Waterford Park
you received
Liquor licenses in the City of Plymouth are nontransferable. We
have many on -sale liquor licenses available in the City; and
therefore, a new business would make application for a license
directly to the City. The license application process would be
identical to yours, with the possible exception of some of the
site related materials.
You asked that we check on whether a refund is possible.
Enclosed is a copy of Plymouth City Code Section 1206.31. Please
note the circumstances under which a refund is possible. I don't
believe any of the circumstances apply in your case; but please
let me know if I am incorrect.
The good news is that you only paid the license fee for the first
half of the license year. In other words, you will not lose the
second half payment of $4,000 which would have been due by
August 1, 1991.
Would you please send me a letter indicating the date on which
you closed so that I can close our license file and notify the
State Liquor Control Commission that you are no longer in
operation at that location.
You have been very considerate and
licensing process. I hope that we
of working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Laurie Rauenhorst

Plymouth City Code
1206.23 (Rev. 1987)
1206.23. Return of Security. At the end of such three year period the alter-
nate security may be returned to the licensee, with Council approval, upon
filing by the licensee with the City Clerk an affidavit stating:
(a) that no action or proceedings have been commenced in any court for the
forfeiture of the alternate security or for damages to any person
under the terms and conditions thereof; and
(b) that the licensee has no knowledge of any existing claim or cause of
action under the terms of the assignment of the alternate security.
If United States Government bonds are deposited as alternate security under
Subsection 1211.15, the licensee may detach any appurtenant coupons at such time
as they are due and payable.
1206.25. Fees. Subdivision 1. Amounts. The fee for a license to sell
alcoholic beverages is fixed by Chapter X. The fees for intoxicating liquor
licenses are payable in two equal installments in advance of February 1 and
August 1. The fees for non -intoxicating liquor licenses are due on or before
the last day of June in each year.
Subd. 2. Payment. The application for a license shall be accompanied by a
receipt from the City Finance Department for payment of the required license
fee. License fees shall be paid into the general fund. If an application for a
license is rejected, the Finance Department shall refund the amount paid.
1206.27. Investigation Fee. The application shall be accompanied by an inves-
tigation fee in an amount equal to the cost of the investigation conducted but
not to exceed the maximum amounts specified by law. The Finance Department
shall compute the cost of an investigation and shall bill the cost to the
applicant, and the application for the license is deemed to be an undertaking by
the applicant to pay the investigation fee. The City Council may by resolution
establish minimum or standard investigation fees for use under this subdivision,
but the adoption of such minimum or standard fees does not relieve the applicant
of the obligation to pay the actual cost of the investigation.
1206.29. Term, Pro Rata Fee. A license is issued for a period of one year but
if the application is made during the license year, a license may be issued for
the remainder of the year for a pro rata fee, with any unexpired fraction of a
month being counted as one month. Intoxicating liquor licenses and wine licens-
es expire on the first day of February in each year. Non -intoxicating liquor
licenses and club licenses expire on the last day of June in each year.
1206.31. Refunds. No part of the fee paid for any license issued under this
Chapter shall be refunded except in the following instances upon application to
the Council within 20 days from the happening of the event. There shall be
refunded a pro rata portion of the fee for the unexpired period of the license,
computed on a monthly basis, when operation of the licensed business ceases not
less than one month before expiration of the license because of:
=—mck
Plymouth City Code 1206.33 (Rev. 1989)
(a) destruction or damage of the licensed premises by fire or other catastro-
phe;
(b) the licensee's illness;
(c) the licensee's death; or
(d) a change in the legal status of the municipality making it unlawful for the
licensed business to continue.
1206.33. Additional Bottle Club Permit Fee. There is imposed upon the holder of a
bottle club permit issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 340A.414, including
religious and non-profit organizations, the additional fee set by Chapter X. The fee
shall be paid to the City Clerk on or before July 1st of each year and a receipt
given therefor. There shall be no pro rata adjustment of the fee for a portion of a
year. The written receipt for the bottle club permit fee shall be posted in a
conspicuous place upon the premises together with the permit issued by the Commis-
sioner.
1206.35. Granting of Licenses. Subdivision. 1. Investigation and Issuance. The
City Council shall investigate the facts set out in the application. Opportunity
shall be given to any person to be heard for or against the granting of the license.
After the investigation and public hearing, the Council may, in its discretion, grant
or refuse the application. No license shall become effective until it, together with
the security furnished by the applicant, has been approved by the Commissioner.
Subd. 2. New Licenses; Hearing Required. The public hearing for the issuance
of a license for a new premises or for a different licensee at the same premises
shall be preceded by (i) two weeks' published notice and (ii) ten days' posted notice
in at least three public places in the vicinity of the premises to be licensed.
1206.37. Disclosure; Corporate Licensees. It is a condition of every license issued
to a corporation that the City "tanager be furnished by the licensee with a correct
list of (i) all stockholders of the corporate licensee and the number of shares held
by each, either individually or beneficially for others and (ii) the same information
for all corporations which directly or indirectly own, or hold beneficial interests
in, the stock of such corporate licensee. It is the continuing duty of each corp-
orate licensee to promptly notify the City Manager of any change in ownership or
beneficial interest of such shares. Any change of ownership or beneficial interest
in shares of stock entitled to be voted at any meeting of the stockholders of the
corporate licensee which results in change in control of the corporate licensee by
the persons owning shares of stock therein, or any change of ownership of stock in
any corporation which directly or indirectly owns stock of such corporate licensee
and which results in a change of control of such corporation shall, in either event,
be deemed equivalent to a transfer of the license issued to the corporate licensee
and any such license shall be revoked and terminated 30 days after any such change of
control unless the City Manager shall have been notified of such change in writing,
and the City Council shall have approved thereof. The term "control," as used here-
in, means the power to directly or indirectly direct, or cause the direction of, the
management or policies of such corporate licensee. The City Manager may at any
reasonable time examine the stock transfer records and minute books of any corporate
licensee in order to verify the names of the stockholders and persons voting at
meetings of such corporations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
City Council may cancel and terminate any license issued hereunder to a corporate
licensee upon determination that any change of control of such corporate licensee has
occurred (whether directly or indirectly) so as to materially affect the integrity
and character of its management and its operation of an "off -sale" or "on -sale"
business, provided that no such action shall be taken until after a hearing by the
City Council on 30 days' written notice to the licensee. (Amended, Ord. No. 89-13,

SUBJECT: SCHOOL DISTRICT ELECTIONS
At the March 11 budget study session, the Council asked whether
funds were budgeted for the Wayzata 284 referendum under the city
election budget. A question was also raised about whether the
school districts had used the City's optiscan equipment.
Laurie Rauenhorst tells me that the City does not incur costs for
school district elections or referendums except costs which may
be associated with the receptionists keeping the telephone system
open for a longer period of time on election day. Other than
that, there are no costs associated with these elections
chargeable to the City.
I was incorrect when I said that Robbinsdale had used the City's
optiscan equipment. We had negotiated an agreement with
Robbinsdale for the use of our equipment. Ultimately they
elected to use Brooklyn Park's equipment. Under our agreement
with the district, they were to have paid a proportionate share
of the annual maintenance cost for the equipment in exchange for
its use. Brooklyn Park assists with the entire election:
obtaining and training judges, and providing equipment in
exchange for a negotiated fee.

Dear Senator Traub:
Attached is a letter which I recently sent to Joel Jamnik at the
League of Minnesota Cities with respect to the above referenced
bills which extend the definition of public employees to
virtually all individuals hired for part-time and seasonal work.
In light of our state financial problems and "soft" economy, it
is particularly discouraging to see this type of legislation
proposed. It can only have the impact of escalating the cost of
doing business (public or private) in Minnesota. We certainly
hope you will help defeat both of these bills.

League of Minnesota Cities
183 University Avenue East
St. Paul, MN 55101
SUBJECT: NEGOTIATIONS ON PART-TIME/SEASONAL EMPLOYEES
Dear Joel:
Your article in the March 8 "Cities Bulletin," requested input
from cities on revisions being contemplated to the P.E.L.R.A.
definition of public employee.
I understand that House File 173, and Senate File 202, would make
all part-time and most seasonal employees "public employees"
under the law and therefore, eligible for union membership. The
impact of these bills, or any compromises on the existing
definition of part-time/seasonal employees would have a
City o
dramatically negative affect on the f Plymouth. I believe
the same is true of other Minnesota communities.
The impacts are outlined below:
Peak season for outdoor street, sewer, water, and park
maintenance responsibilities is spring, summer, and fall.
In an effort to be prudent with taxpayer dollars, we hire
only enough full-time maintenance employees
season, we
accommodate our normal needs. During p a assist the
hire temporary and part-time employees
full-time personnel in completing the peak workload. on
the average, we have employed twenty-five to thirty
100 day temporary maintenance employees.
1.
Given the State's budget crisis, Plymouth's only prudent
easonal
alternative is to hent unoemployeem 4- -iton hire torary andsbecomes
employees. If t Pblic
more restrictive, we have a number of options:
1. Cutback on our maintenance efforts. Such action
will hasten the depreciation of these public
facilities.
2. Raise property taxes and/or user fees to provide
the funding required.

2. Each year, the City hires about 200 seasonal employees to
act as life guards and teach a wide variety of
recreational programs. Under current law, these
employees are not considered public employees. Each is
paid on a lump sum, per class, or per hour basis . Most
of these employees work for other cities concurrently.
The impact of defining these persons as public employees
is:
1. Increased program costs and therefore, users fees
unless the program is for seniors or disabled, in
which case, it is tax supported. The increased
cost would have to be borne by the taxpayers.
2. These employees would likely belong to a
different bargaining unit per city employer. You
can imagine the union dues they would pay and the
reduction they would experience in take home pay.
3. Because recreation program costs would increase,
a greater number of programs would no longer be
self sustaining and therefore, would be
eliminated. The programs most likely to go would
be those which serve special populations who have
the greatest need.
From my perspective, there is no compromise position on the
existing statute. The A.M.M. policy is that the definition of
public employee should be uniform at 100 work days per year,
rather than the 67/100 cap contained in existing law.
Frankly, I am chagrined by members of the legislature who would
entertain this bill when it can only add to the high cost
Of
doing business in Minnesota and the escalating property tax
burden. Apparently they fail to -see the connection between
legislative action and their constituents' pocketbooks.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Over the years, Don, your expertise in all forms of insurance has

coverages, improving our coverage levels, while, saving
significant sums of tax dollars. Now with the advent of our own

I shared your March 18 letter with the City Council last evening.
They appreciate the interest of the League of Women Voters in

wish you success in your April 3 forum.
As you are aware, the City is currently involved in litigation
initiated by the League of Plymouth Voters regarding the
Council's adoption of the ordinance moving from an odd to an even
year election cycle. As a result of that litigation, the Council
has been directed by its legal counsel not to engage in public
discussions with respect to this issue. The Councilmembers
believe that it would be extremely difficult to participate in
the public forum you propose without the issue of the change in
election becoming a topic. For that reason, they have asked me

FROM: Concerned Citizens Residing on 42nd & Lanewood Lane
Dear Council Members:
Wei the residents of 42nd & Lanewood Lane, are making a written complaint
regarding the snow removal on our cul-de-sac. This problem was brought to
the attention of Mr. Jim Willis and Mr. Bob Zitur during a March 6th
telephone conversation by Mr. Roger Humola.
We are under the impression that the snow removal on the cul-de-sacs are under
sub contract.
We are very upset with the snow removal on our cul-de-sac. It is very aggravating
that we have to wait until 9:00 A.M. or 10:00 A.M. before our street is plowed,
especially when the snow storm was the night before. We are also unhappy with the
snow removal operation by the sub contractor as they consistently push the snow
into driveways and in front of homes at the end of our cul-de-sac. We have
suffered through four winters with this service and we are very disguested. We
are paying enormous taxes to the City of Plymouth, and we should not be subjected
to this inept service.
Your prompt investigation of this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizens

In. re: Proposed Plan for building 165+ apartments along Ct-y..15
In the past, the planning in Plymouth has been done by persons who
weren'k aware of the history of the land. Cons-;ucrtly, many
mistakes were made. It cost the residents of Plymouth a great deal.
Just as an example: In the area I live, they let one person build
his house practically in the lake. Then they had to turn around and
spend a lot to keep the water level down. This has reduced my
property value as it has reduced a once beautiful lake to almost a
swamp. Parker's Lake was 75 feet deep at one time; and now, it is
maybe 10 to 20 feet deep loaded with weeds.
When you build apartments, the population grows along with the
additional traffic it brings. Wouldn't it seem more feasible to
build such a complex adjacent to or close to a bus service? Also
close to schools, playgrounds, etc. instead of putting them in a
place where there are single family homes.
I am 71 years old and on Social Security. I have lived at my present locE
tion since 1950. There have been a multitude of improvements made
some of which were great, and some that just cost a lot of money.
If you were to build some apartments for the elderly and lower in-
come young people I would welcome this. The type of apartments
being built today are with rent starting at $415.00 and up. Maybe
you do not care to encourage this kind of person residing in
Plymouth: Subsidized housing is built with the stipulation the
owner takes the complex over in ten to 20 years. The elderly and
poor move in and when the time is up, the owners take over. They
immediately have to raise the rent, and the renters have to look
for another place to rent they can afford. It is a vicious situ-
ation. There were about 15 of these apartments in the Twin Cities
that were no longer going to be subsidized this last year. I know
this isn't your problem, but it is something to think about.
In the past, I have attended meetings for various projects; and
every time, the residents were ignored. Judt like the petition
over the election change. I am looking forward to the day when
the Governing people in the City of Plymouth will listen to the
residing population.
Yours very truly,

We are planning the Hennepin County "Olde Tyme" Fair
for July 25-28 at the Corcoran Lions Park, located at the
crossroads of Bass Lake Road and Hwy. 101, in Corcoran.
We are hoping for an even bigger and better (and definitely
drier!) fair this year.
T-- %11 N
The fair will again resemble an old fashioned county fair,
with a rural setting featuring brightly striped tents, demolition
derbies, moto-cross races, live entertainment, exciting midway
rides, open class and 4H exhibits, animals, and much more. A
competition between mayors of cities in Hennepin County is being
planned, reminiscent of early fairs in the County, when mayors of
the municipalities competed in a Jalopy Race.
In order to have a successful fair, we really do need your
support. Financially, last year was a disaster for us, with 12
inches of rain in one night drastically reducing attendance.
We respectfully request a donation from your city to help support
your citizens' County Fair.
In addition, we request your cooperation in informing your
citizens that, yes, Hennepin County does have a county fair!
I am enclosing a release that I urge you to include in your
city's newsletters, newspapers, utility billings, etc.

Mr. Eric Blank

Plymouth, Minnesota 55447
Dear Eric:
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me today regarding
new walking trails for my area. My family recently moved to
13115 38th Avenue North in the Heritage area. Before that, we
lived near 40th and Quaker Lane for seven years. We have
children aged 11, and 2s, and we enjoy using our bike trailer,
especially in French Park. I have not used the bike since we
moved, but I think we will be required to walk the bike and
trailer across Northwest Boulevard at 37th Avenue in order to
gain access to the park. I am concerned that the traffic on
Northwest Boulevard moves very fast, and there is a high curb on
the east side of Northwest Boulevard. If someone is speeding on
Northwest going north, it will be difficult to get the bike and
trailer across the road and over the curb in time to avoid a car.
I have two suggestions to make French Park more accessible
to Heritage residents. First, I understand the City is
considering a trail on the west side of Northwest Boulevard. I
think this is the ideal solution, as residents from all parts of
the Heritage area could take the trail north to the Rockford Road
intersection and cross to the trail leading to the park.
Residents could also use this trail to reach the new Target
Greatland store --otherwise, it will be inaccessible from our area
except by car. I strongly recommend putting in such a trail.
Second, an interim solution might be to lower the eastern curb on
Northwest across from 37th and other Heritage streets (and
possibly put up Caution signs or crosswalks) to make it easier to
get a bike or bike trailer across Northwest.

original members of the Charter Commission who are eligible for
reappointment to determine whether they are interested in
continuing to serve on the Commission. In addition, the City
Council intends to solicit applications from interested citizens
to be considered for appointment to the Charter Commission.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the City Council's
decision to reactivate the Charter Commission. The Council will
be submitting names to you shortly for your approval for
appointment to the Charter Commission as provided in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 410.05, Subdivision 3. Please let me know if
you would like to receive background information on the
prospective appointees and, if so, whether that information
should be presented in any particular format.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
i

Re: Elections and Ethics Reform Act of 1990
Dear Frank:
Tekphooe (612) 3379300
fac%imik (612) 337.9310
You asked me for advice regarding compliance with the provisions
of the Elections and Ethics Reform Act of 1990. In my
September 7, 1990 letter, I summarized the background of the
legislation.
The current status of the law concerning this matter is still
undecided. There is legislation pending that would further
define the definition of "local official." Ultimately, the City
Council will need to adopt a policy setting forth what officials
in the City are required to comply with the reporting
requirements and how compliance is achieved.
I have discussed this matter with Mary Ann McCoy, the executive
director of the Ethical Practices Board, which is the agency
responsible for enforcement of the law in this area. Ms. McCoy
indicated to me that she would be more than happy to meet with
the City Council to discuss the background to the law and how
compliance is achieved. I believe that such a meeting would be
useful.
In the meantime, I will be drafting a proposed policy for the
City Council to adopt. I am enclosing a copy of the form that
has been prepared by the Ethical Practices Board pertaining to
the statement of economic interest. You will note that the form
requires disclosure of sources of compensation in excess of $50
per month, the identity of securities worth $2,500 or more, and
the identity of non -homestead real property located in the state
of Minnesota. The amount of the compensation, or the value

of the securities or real property does not need to be disclosed.
In addition, with the exception of pari-mutuel horse racing, the
interest of immediate family members does not need to be
disclosed.
I recommend that we discuss this matter with the City Council to
determine whether they would like to meet with Ms. McCoy. If so,
it would probably be best to hold the meeting before the Council
adopts its policy.
Sincerely,
