Proposes Strict New Rules to Reduce Arsenic in Tap Water By JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr. W ASHINGTON, May 24 -- The Clinton administration today proposed strict new regulations of arsenic in tap water, reducing by 90 percent the public's maximum exposure to the chemical, which causes cancer and is found at harmful levels in at least 1 Related Articles • The Natural World: The Environment • Science/Health Forum • Join a Discussion on The Environment out of 10 of the nation's community water supplies. The Environmental Protection Agency issued the proposal after having missed a deadline of Jan. 1 under the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996. Environmentalists had threatened to sue the agency if it did not move quickly. The agency proposed lowering the limit on arsenic to 5 parts per billion from 50 parts per billion by using additives, filtering or other methods. The E.P.A. estimated that this approach would cost $374 million a year and would prevent scores of cancer cases each year and provide other major health benefits. Water utilities, while agreeing that the rules should be tightened, contended that this level of control would cost about four times more than the Why the Internet?

Proposes Strict New Rules to Reduce Arsenic in Tap Water Page 2 of 5 agency said and that the health benefits were not worth such an effort. Environmentalists called for an even stricter rule, saying the agency was accepting unusually high cancer risks in this approach. "The subject of arsenic has been debated at the E.P.A. for the better part of a decade or more," said Charles J. Fox, the agency's assistant administrator for water programs. "We think this is affordable, and it is important for public health protection. But in some communities they will see increases in drinking water rates to pay for this additional health protection." The agency said the costs per household might be about $28 a year in households in larger cities, and about $85 per household in communities of less than 10,000 households. The E.P.A. makes billions of dollars in loans to cities to help pay the cost of its regulations on drinking water. The burden would fall most heavily in the Southwest, where many communities have tap water with high levels of arsenic. Other communities in the West, the Midwest and New England would be affected, especially those that rely on water found underground rather than streams and other surface water for their drinking water supplies. For example, the Albuquerque water system, which serves more than 400,000 people, has an arsenic level of 14 parts per billion, and the Norman, Okla., water system, which serves 80,000 people, has arsenic levels at about 36 parts per billion, according to federal data complied by the Natural Resources Defense Council. The agency estimated that 6,600 utilities, which represent about 12 percent of all water suppliers in the nation and serve some 22 million people, would have to take corrective action, and that the vast majority of them serve 10,000 homes or fewer. Arsenic in drinking water commonly comes from natural sources in the ground, but some can also http://www.nytimes.con/librarylnationallscience1052500sci-environ-arsenic.html 5/25/00 E.P.A. Proposes Strict New Rules to Reduce Arsenic in Tap Water Page 3 of 5 come from industrial pollution. Its occurrence varies widely; New York City's water, for example, is essentially arsenic -free and meets the new standards. In some communities, people may face a risk as high as 1 in 100 of developing cancer from contaminated water, according to a study published last year by the National Research Council. For decades, Congress has called for the agency to review its rules, but the agency, citing uncertainties over the costs and benefits, has never before issued a proposal. While few experts argue against taking action to protect people better from arsenic, which can cause not only lung, skin and bladder cancer but also diseases of the liver, blood vessels and other organs, there is still a dispute over how strictly the agency should regulate it. Erik Olson, a senior lawyer at the Natural Resources Defense Council, objected that the E.P.A. proposal would provide a cancer risk of 1 in 10,000, a claim that the agency confirmed. "Although it is a very significant step forward," Mr. Olson said, "it would still provide a higher cancer risk than any other E.P.A. rule for tap water. I think that is a pretty serious precedent for the agency to be undertaking." His environmental advocacy group has urged the agency to adopt a standard of 3 parts per billion, the strictest standard that is considered feasible with existing technology. Doug Marsano, a spokesman for the American Water Works Association, which represents water utilities, said the group had called for a standard of 10 parts per billion -- twice what the E.P.A. is proposing, and equal to the recommendation of the World Health Organization. That standard would bring reductions in the vast majority of cities where arsenic is a problem, Mr. Marsano said. The E.P.A.'s draft proposal, prepared after years http://www.nytimes.com/librarylnationallscience1052500sci-environ-arsenic.html 5/25/00 E.P.A. Proposes Strict New Rules to Reduce Arsenic in Tap Water Page 4 of 5 of discussions with health officials, water districts and the public, was held up at the White House for review until this month. The agency's new proposal is a compromise, but leaves open the possibility of seeking higher or lower standards after a period of public comment. The agency asks the public to comment on several alternatives: a 20 parts per billion standard, the 10 parts per billion standard that the water utilities have endorsed, the 5 parts per billion standard that the E.P.A. favors, and the 3 parts per billion standard. A decision is to be made within a year. The agency's economic studies conducted over the past few years found that the standard of 10 parts per billion would cost half as much as its proposal, and that the standard of 3 parts per billion would cost twice as much as its proposal. For each notch that the regulatory vise is tightened, there would be a corresponding reduction in cancers, the agency's scientists found. But the improvements would be relatively slight. And because most of the cancers at each level of control would be curable, the agency deemed that the health gains were worth only so much money spent cleaning up water supplies. Large water systems would probably treat their water with relatively efficient technologies like filtering and adding lime. But systems that serve fewer than 10,000 people would probably choose less efficient methods, and the costs of treatment per household would probably be higher there. Large systems would be given three years to comply, and small systems five years.

IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS OF CONCERN AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS Barb Roberts' Comments • Roberts' stated that the 6:38 a.m. and the 6:51 a.m. arriving at Plymouth Boulevard and Old Rockford Road come too close to each other. All of the passengers board the first bus until it is full and then the second bus is almost empty. The same thing happens with the 4:35 and the 4:40 arriving at the same location. Wostrel and Bentley will look at this matter and report their findings to the group at the next meeting. Mike Cagley's Comments • There are two buses leaving Marquette and Washington at 4:35 (A and S). The desired sequence is with the S going first and the A following because if the A is first the people that go past the Four Seasons Park and Ride have to get on the A along with all of the people that get off at Four Seasons Park and Ride that think the S will not come. Sometimes the buses will be right next too each other but out of sequence. Cagley requested that either the buses be in the right order with the S first and the A second or the driver on the A could tell people that the S is right behind. Wostrel stated that he recently placed a notation on both drivers work regarding the correct sequence of the buses. • Cagley reported that there were about 20 people on the 6:00 p.m. 93L from downtown. George Bentley's Comments Bentley stated that he and Wostrel are reviewing overcrowding conditions on the 5:10 p.m. 91C and 93A runs out of downtown. They will report on status at the next meeting. VI. REPORT ON REVERSE COMMUTE JOB FAIR DATEMPTACf 4 26 OO.doc MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT April 26, 2000 Page 3 Bentley distributed a report on the 4' Annual Plymouth Commute West Job Fair that was held on March 23, 2000. The job fair was very successful with 32 businesses participating and 433 registered job applicants. VII. REVIEW OF DRAFT CUSTOMER SURVEY RESULTS Bentley distributed a rough draft of information collected from the customer surveys that were conducted on the buses on March 14, 2000. Bentley stated that the final report will be a bound document that will have the information neatly laid out and easy to read. VIII. OTHER COMMENTS Bentley passed out information regarding a planned route renumbering system. The Metropolitan Council, Metro Transit and all of the transit providers including Plymouth Metrolink have been discussing a concept for changing the route numbers. Currently, the basic route numbering system is two digits and will go to three digits beginning this fall. Numbers for new routes are running out and ease in tracking routes on the computer are reasons for the change. Bentley asked members to review the handout for discussion at the next meeting. The next PACT meeting will be held on May 24, 2000 at 7:00 p.m. in the Bass Lake Room on the lower level of the Plymouth City Hall.

The site was unbuildable. in 1995, and remains so today. It is my understanding that the DNR restriction on the parcel has been lifted, and the County is prepared to proceed with conveyance of the parcel. We have recently met with Scott and Mary Rollins who live at 10705 50`h Avenue North, Plymouth. Their property is nearby this tax forfeit parcel, but does not abut it; therefore, they are not eligible for direct conveyance of the parcel from the County. The City also continues to need the site for drainage purposes. City staff has discussed a proposal with the Rollins whereby the City would receive ownership of this tax forfeit parcel and then enter into a lease agreement with the Rollins so that they can establish a demonstration site for alternative plantings and wetland buffer plantings. We believe that the use proposed by the Rollins will compliment the City's use of the site for drainage. While the specific lease arrangement would need City Council approval after the City receives ownership of the site, the City is very supportive of working with the Rollins to establish this wildflower and wetland buffer demonstration area as an amenity for this area and for the City. Please let me know if there is further information you need. We are hopeful that the parcel ownership can be resolved, and the Rollins can begin preparation of the site for planting yet in 2000. Thanks for your assistance.

Background Information We built a home in Plymouth in the summer of 1995. Our home is on the corner of 50th Avenue North and Schmidt Lake Road and backs up to a beautiful wetland area. During the summer of 1997, we were talking to Lara Newberger who works at the City and is in charge of weed control. We were trying to find out who was responsible for a lot near us, where the weeds and thistles had gotten out of control. After some investigation we found out that the property was in tax forfeiture. One of the main reasons we were (and are) so concerned with weeds and thistles is that we have done an extensive native prairie restoration on a section of our property, in an area that falls under the City's/DNR wetland boundary restrictions. The City approved this area for a Natural Preserve status back in August of 1998. Many people have given us compliments on how beautiful our area of wildflowers and prairie grasses is - with many people believing that it was there naturally, not realizing that we took it upon ourselves to make it look that way. - Maintaining our wildflower area is a lot of work and a nearby property that is full of weeds makes our job that much more difficult, not to mention how much of an eyesore it can be. We also see this property being used more and more as a personal dumping ground for yard waste, etc. What we would like to do is acquire this small piece of property and clean it up. We would make it similar to our native prairie/wildflower area. It borders a walking path and would be an excellent example for residents to view a proper wetland buffer planting as well as show how alternative plantings look. Mary volunteers with the Stewards for the Greening of Plymouth and knows that there is a lot of support to provide something like this for residents of the City. We feel that it is important to have these viewing sites in multiple places located around the City. Page 1 of 3 The lot we would like to purchase is fairly small (1/2 of an acre) and we'd estimate that 1/2 of this area is in a wetland. We feel that this is really not big enough for the City to acquire and make part of their open space system. We feel the initial and yearly maintenance costs would be more of a burden on the City and taxpayers if the City were to acquire and keep this property. The steps we have taken during our quest to obtain this property: Normally when a property goes into tax forfeiture, the county will allow the previous owner to pay the necessary back taxes to get the property out of tax forfeiture. The exception is when the property borders 50 or more feet of water/wetland. The DNR must first review the property to determine if the DNR should take over control and if they do not, the DNR makes a recommendation back to the County as to whether or not the County is able to put the property up for sale. If the DNR finds that the property falls under their jurisdiction, but does not want to buy it out of tax forfeiture, it may also require State Legislation to allow the County to sell the property. We prepared for the worst and contacted our State Representative, Rich Stanek asking him if he would sponsor a bill to present to the State Legislature to give the County the power to sell a tax forfeited property that falls under DNR jurisdiction. His response was that he had never been asked by an individual (more times than naught the request comes from a group or organization), but he would definitely be willing to help us out. We wrote up our proposal to the County, outlining our intentions for the property. A few weeks later we got a response. We were then told that first the DNR had to do a formal review. Prior to submitting our proposal we spoke with Jeff Hanson at the DNR to get a feel if the DNR would have any objections to releasing this property. At that time Mr. Hanson told us that he thought our idea was a good idea and that he could see no objections from the DNR. Because we submitted our proposal in February of '99, the DNR would not be able to do a formal review until the snow had melted and the weather was nice. We revisited this issue in June of '99 only to find out that the County had not forwarded a request {b the DNR to do a formal review. Since then, we've been waiting for the results of this review. The DNR has finally reviewed the land and has determined that they do not wish to take control of this property and have also determined that this land no longer falls under their jurisdiction, so we do not need our State Representative to sponsor a bill for us. Gary Hoecherl, Deputy County Auditor for Delinquent Tax & Forfeited Land for Hennepin County, has told us that because we are not "adjacent owners" to this property, the County has no authority to sell directly to us, unless they put the property up for auction. Mr. Hoecherl realizes that it would be in the best interest of the taxpayers to not have to put this property on the auction block, as there is already a very interested party and the current property value is so low. Mr. Hoecherl told us that in the past people have been able to approach their City, requesting that they Page 2 of 3 purchase the tax -forfeited land and sell to the interested individuals as a pass- through. Our Proposal We are requesting that the City of Plymouth purchase this tax -forfeited property as a pass-through and then sell it to us. In talking with Mr. Hoecherl, he said that there are no back -taxes to be paid and that the purchase price would be whatever the current value of the land is, plus taxes and administrative costs. The last assessed value for this property was $100 back in 1995. We have requested an updated assessment from the County, but Mr. Hoecherl believes it shouldn't run more than $500. We are willing to commit to the site restoration and yearly costs to maintain this area. We would like to work with the City Council and staff to establish a demonstration site for alternative plantings and proper wetland buffer plantings. We are willing to work with staff to determine the appropriate classification of the property to assure the demonstration site is preserved. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

You have previously been furnished a copy of the City's appraisals and have returned a letter to Fred Moore, Director of Public Works, stating that you have not found it necessary to involve an appraiser, but reserve the right to do so. Fred and I have interpreted this as that you have no factual corrections you wish to make in the City's appraisal. Before an offer is made by the City, we have two items which we must complete: 1. Inspection of your home by an independent inspector to determine any major structural or safety items which should be corrected by you, or should be reflected in our offer. The purpose of this inspection is to determine if there are any items which could have had an effect if they were known to the appraiser on determining fair market value. 2. The preparation of the purchase agreement by our City Attorney's office. This purchase agreement will have the standard real estate transaction obligations of the buyer and seller. One of the key obligations for you will be to provide clear fee title for your property to the City. A title opinion to determine the interest ownership of the property will not be prepared until we have agreed to a purchase agreement. The following will be the City's procedure to make you an offer: 1. Have conducted the inspection (scheduled for Thursday, May 25) and received the report of the independent inspector.

Complete purchase agreement making City's offer to purchase the property, and the conditions which apply to that offer. This purchase agreement would be conditioned upon approval by the City Council. 3. Submit the purchase agreement to you for your review, acceptance, or counter offer. As part of the process to complete the final purchase agreement, we will agree to a possession date by the City of your property. 4. Present the proposed purchase agreement recommended by City staff and agreed to by the property owner to the City Council for their approval. 5. Both City and property owner would then complete items required in the purchase agreement. 6. Closing and transfer of the property to the City. This is the normal process which real estate transactions involve between a buyer and seller. The only thing slightly different, since the City is a governmental organization, is the approval by the City Council as required by State Statutes for any purchases over $25,000. In discussing this matter with Fred Moore, we would expect to make you an offer on the purchase of the property by June 16, 2000. Assuming there are no unusual ownership encumbrances on the property, the closing should be able to occur before the end of July. Sincerely, d"?(9- Dwight D. Johnson City Manager cc: Fred G.

There is a roadway memorial on 494 and Bass Lake Road at the entrance ramp to 494. This memorial has been at this spot for MONTHS. It is a white cross with the name SHERYL on it, and a wreath. Could someone please remove these? I don't mean to sound cold, but I find it very offensive to be force-fed other people's memorials and grief. Personally, if I lost a loved one at a spot on the highway; would have a hard enough time driving by that spot, let alone erect a memorial as a constant reminder. The freeways are taxpayer -paid roadways.... not cemeteries. If I wanted to memorialize SHERYL, I would go to a cemetery. I don't need to look at this everyday driving my daily commute to and from work. The white wooden cross is very thickly constructed. It is dangerous, a distraction and totally inappropriate. Please remove these. I plan to address this issue with legislators. These highway/street memorials are getting out of hand.

After review of the projected Elm Creek interceptor needs, other land planning issues for northwestern Hennepin County became apparent. The Metropolitan Council has defined a process to address the issues of land use, transportation, wastewater, and environmental protection in a sub -regional context. The Council would like to invite your community, the elected officials and technical staff to a meeting on: Wednesday, June 7, 2000 6:30-8:30 p.m. Plymouth Creek Center (Plymouth Room) 14800 34th Avenue North Plymouth, Minnesota At this meeting, we will discuss a work plan that will collaborate with the communities to address issues that affect the sub -region. We would appreciate if each community would come prepared to designate a liaison to a technical planning committee for this process. The Council looks forward to meeting with you on June 7. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Northwestern Hennepin County Land Use Study, please contact Phyllis Hanson, Sector Representative, at 651- 602-1566.

This session has been an unusual one for Capitol -watchers. Tri - partisan politics, the budget surplus and the upcoming elections of all 201 legislators brought the process to a standstill for many weeks. The House Republican majority believed that the budget surplus was significantly greater than the $549 million Department of Finance projection. To utilize the surplus, the Republicans pursued a variety of tax reforms and reductions, as well as a major transportation funding package. The Senate DFL majority proposed using the surplus for a number of spending initiatives and more moderate tax reforms and reductions. The governor proposed a motor vehicle tab fee reduction, passage of a bonding bill that was far less expensive than the Republicans and DFLers envisioned, and reserving the vast majority of the budget surplus for use next session to fund his "Big Plan." After weeks of inactivity, and in the face of a Constitutional deadline to adjourn, legislators and the governor reached a deal that they touted as fair and responsible. While some political observers felt it represented a breakdown of checks and balances, the House Republicans, Senate DFLers and Governor Ventura agreed that each would have one-third of the budget surplus ($175 million) to utilize as they chose. The Republicans chose to pass a scaled-down version of their income tax reduction plan, DFLers provided additional funding for education and environmental projects, and the Governor chose to reduce tab fees. The remainder of this MLC Update will summarize those portions of the Omnibus Tax Bill that are of interest to MLC communities. The MLC Update is prepared by Robert G. Renner, Jr. and Jennifer J. Peterson Messerli 8 Kramer P.A., 145 University Avenue West, Suite 450, St. Paul, MN 55103 Telephone (651) 228-9757 Fax (651) 228-9787 2000 OMNIBUS TAX BILL For the first time since the 1996 Legislative Session, the Legislature made no changes to the property tax classification system, instead focusing on the sales tax rebate, permanent income tax reductions and capping motor vehicle tab fees. Adding together the relief provided this session with that provided last year equals total tax relief, in one- time and permanent cuts, of $1.819 billion. The following provisions from this year's tax bill are those of most interest to MLC cities. LEVY LIMITS AND REVERSE REFERENDUM The 2000 Legislature ended the ill-conceived policy of the past three sessions and allowed levy limits to expire at the end of the 2000 tax year. Local government organizations were supportive of this policy change, as levy limits are felt to represent state micro -management of local government officials. The repeal of levy limits was a major objective of the MLC during the 2000 session, and the MLC would like to express its appreciation and thanks to the Legislature for achieving this goal. The Omnibus Tax Bill did not include the House -passed provision that created a reverse referendum process. The reverse referendum provision would have allowed five percent of registered voters in a city or county with a population over 2,500 to file a petition calling for a reverse referendum. The petition could have been filed if a city or county adopted a property tax levy that had increased over the last year's certified levy by more than two percent, or the implicit price deflator for state and local government purchases plus the percentage increase in the number of households in the jurisdiction, whichever is greater. The MLC was opposed to this provision. LIMITED MARKET VALUE As in the past few sessions, House members considered tightening the limits on market value increases. However, they were unable to muster the support needed to incorporate their plan into the Omnibus Tax Bill conference report. As the House Tax Bill went to conference committee, it contained a provision limiting the annual growth in market value for residential, agricultural and seasonal recreational property to seven percent (currently it is at 8.5 percent). The MLC has long opposed decreasing any further the market value limit on properties as doing so would create disparities among owners of identical properties without providing any true property tax reform. Because the limited market value provision was not included, annual growth in assessed market value will remain at 8.5 percent. 2 PERMANENT INCOME TAX RATE REDUCTIONS The House Republicans chose to provide income tax payers with permanent income tax reductions that will reduce taxes by approximately $541 million by the end of fiscal year 2003. The chart below illustrates the rate reductions. MARRIED — FILING JOINTLY INCOME PREVIOUS TAX RATE NEW TAX RATE Up to $25,680 5.50% 5.35% $25,681 - $102,030 7.25% 7.05% $102,031 and up 8.0% 7.85% SINGLE OR MARRIED, FILING INDIVIDUALLY INCOME PREVIOUS TAX RATE NEW TAX RATE Up to $17,570 5.50% 5.35% $17,571 - $57,710 7.25% 7.05% $57,711 and up 8.0% 7.85% SALES TAX REBATE One early agreement between the House, Senate and Governor Ventura was that Minnesota taxpayers should receive some of the budget surplus through a third tax rebate. This year, the Legislature again chose to provide a sales tax rebate that will be paid automatically to individuals who had income tax liability in 1998, who filed a claim for the 1998 property tax rebate, who had social security income in 1998, or who filed an income tax return in order to claim a refund of withheld or estimated taxes or a refundable credit. For married income tax payers filing jointly and heads of household, the minimum rebate is $168 and the maximum is $2,400. For all others, the minimum rebate is $95 and the maximum is $1,200. The rebate schedule is based upon federal taxable income plus Minnesota additions, such as out-of-state tax-exempt bond interest and the itemized deduction for state income taxes. The total cost of the rebate is $635.6 million. Checks should be mailed by the Department of Revenue later this summer. The charts on the next two pages provide the sales tax rebate schedule. 3 MARRIED - FILING JOINTLY or HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME SALES TAX REBATE <$2,500 $168 $2,500 - $4,999 $217 $5,000 - $9,999 $231 $10,000 - $14,999 $253 $15,000 - $19,999 $275 $20,000 - $24,999 $299 $25,000 - $29,999 $312 $30,000 - $34,999 $338 $35,000 - $39,999 $369 $40,000 - $44,999 $396 $45,000 - $49,999 $417 $50-000 - $59,999 $444 $60,000 - $69,999 $476 $70,000 - $79,999 $523 $80,000 - $89,000 $562 $90,000 - $99,000 $620 $100,000 - $119,999 $671 $120,000 - $139,999 $735 $140,000 - $159,999 $795 $160,000 - $179,999 $851 $180,000 - $199,999 $904 $200,000 - $399,999 $1,157 $400,000 - $599,999 $1,522 $600,000 - $799,999 $1,826 $800,000 - $999,999 $2,093 $1 million or more $2,400 MARRIED - FILING INIVIDUALLY or SINGLE <$2,500 $95 $2,500 - $4,999 $116 $5,000 - $9,999 $137 $10,000 - $14,999 $184 $15,000 - $19,999 $210 $20,000 - $24,999 $228 $25,000 - $29,999 $238 $30,000 - $39,000 $259 $40,000 - $49,999 $290 $50,000 - $69,999 $342 $70,000 - $99,999 $435 $100,000 - $139,999 $524 $140,000 - $199,999 $632 $200,000 - $399,999 $857 $400,000 - $599,999 $1,128 $$600,000 or more $1,200 TAB FEE REDUCTION Governor Ventura utilized $147,439 million of his portion of the budget surplus to provide vehicle owners with a reduction in tab fees. The tax on a vehicle would be equal to the base tax of $10 added to 1.25 percent of vehicle value (or a portion of the value. The full tax will be paid for a new vehicle, but there will be a cap of $189 for the first tab renewal and $99 for every year thereafter. This means that all cars with a base value of more than approximately $15,000 will receive a reduction in tab fees for the first renewal period, and all cars with a base value of $8,000 or more will receive at least a $1 reduction in tab fees during the second and third renewal years. 5 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING This year's tax bill contains a number of tax increment financing (TIF) provisions. These include: Extending the definition of "qualified housing district" to include single family home ownership projects in which at least 95 percent of the home purchasers have incomes at or below the greater of (1) 70 percent of the area median gross income; or (2) the statewide median gross income. The sunset on the ability of housing authorities to establish housing improvement districts without special legislation is extended from June 30, 2001, to June 30, 2005. 2. Eliminating a provision in state law that allows municipalities to approve a TIF plan without a but -for finding by simply failing to act for 60 days after the TIF authority submitted the plan. 3. Clarifying and simplifying financial reporting requirements. First, financial information must still be provided to the State Auditor, but no longer must be provided to school districts. Second, the reporting requirements have been combined from multiple reports into one report including the following information: a. Captured net tax capacity that is shared with affected taxing districts. b. Date of approval of the TIF plan. c. Date that the authority requested the county to certify the district. d. Date the county certified the district. e. Month and year of the receipt of the district's first increment. f. Break -downs of the separate components of the tax increment, including taxes paid, interest or other investment earnings, proceeds from sales of property acquired with increments, and repayment of loans and other advances made with increments. g. Revenues of the district, other than tax increments, including proceeds of sales of property not acquired with increments, special assessments, grants, and transfers from funds not exclusively associated with the district. h. Transfers to funds not exclusively associated with the district. i. Payments with increments for activities outside of the district. j. Additional details on the components of bond payments, by type of bond, and for pay-as-you-go contracts. 4. Increment not used within a district may now be used for qualifying low-income housing outside the project area. Housing that qualifies must meet the requirements for the federal low income housing tax credit as provided in Section 28. 5. TIF authorities subject to pooling restrictions may increase pooling percentages by ten percentage points, if the increments are used for low income housing development. Presently, state law limits these TIF districts to spending no more than 20 percent of their increments on activities located outside of the geographic area of the district.

"It's been fun," Solem said "There's no other organization like the Metro- politan Council anywhere else in the U S I'm going to miss the day-to-day engagement of interesting and fasci- nating discussions." Solem came to the Met Council in 1994 and oversaw the merger of the two divisions of the Met Council -- The Regional Transit Commission (RTC) and the Waste Water Commission. "Mergers are difficult on people and on organizations," he said "I couldn't have done without the support of the governing body and my wonderful staff." Solem will continue to work in a part-time capacity with the Met Council until January 2001 In that time, he will work on some special projects, including writing down his knowledge and observations about the region in an article entitled, "Minnesota Approach." Jay Lindgren, currently the Met Council's chief counsel, will serve as the interim regional administrator until a replacement is hired Met Council Chair Ted Mondale said that Solem will be missed and that he "brought this agency respect" during his tenure at the Council. Met Council seeks AMM's opinion on wastewater rates he Metropolitan Council adopted a rate schedule for wastewater treatment yesterday For the calendar year 2001, the rate is $118 per 100,000 gallons compared to the current annual rate of $120 The rate is projected to be $118 in 2002 and then rise to $130 by 2006 Councilmernbers Roger Williams and Todd Paulson, who are also former local elected officials, questioned if cities would prefer a rate that is more stable and increases at a slower rate than the adopted rate.

The land use element of the plan identifies five areas for future study. The City's Planning Commission is reviewing and considering possible changes for Study Area D, which is one of the five study areas. Study Area D is located north of Bass Lake Road (Co. Rd. 10), east of Quinwood Lane, and west of future Northwest Boulevard. Upon an initial review of the two properties in Study Area D, the Planning Commission ordered a Public Hearing to consider a possible amendment to the City's Land Use Guide Plan and Zoning Map. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance, this is to inform you that the Planning Commission will be considering a reguiding from C (Commercial) to LA -4 (Lving Area 4) and rezoning from C-4 (Community Commercial) to FRD (Future Restricted Development) for Study Area D. The LA -4 guiding would allow residential development at a density range of 12 to 20 units per acre. The proposed FRD zoning would serve as a holding zone until a landowner/developer makes application for development, at which time the City would rezone the affected property consistent with the guiding of the site. Hennepin County records indicate your property is within 750 feet of the site of this proposal. 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, June 7, 2000 in the Council Chambers at the Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. The public will be invited to offer questions and comments concerning Study Area D at that time, or feel free to call the City Planning Department at 509-5450 for more information. INFORMATION relating to this request may be examined at the Community Development Information Counter (lower level), on Mondays and Wednesday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Tuesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except holidays.
