CITY ATTORNEY BILLING - As part of the budget study sessions, the Council requested a more detailed explanation of the elements which comprise the retainer. Attached is a copy of the July billing summary from the City Attorney's office. I have underscored those items which are included in the retainer fee. Those items include: Matter Name Total Fees General $ 9,605.29 Virginia - Fox Farm 150.00 Recycling Source Separation 582.50 Solid Waste Transfer Station 150.00 Total charges if no retainer = 10,487.79 Monthly retainer (covers all above charges) 6,000.00 Savings to City because of retainer = 4,487.79 In this particular bill, the City saved Just under $4,500 in fees by use of the retainer. July was not a typical month. During the first six months the monthly "savings" through the retainer ranged from $281 to $1,691, with an average monthly savings of $1,004. As indicated at the budget study session, the category of "general" includes telephone conversations by the staff or City Councilmembers with the City Attorney's office with respect to agenda items or other legal matters which arise during the course of day to day City operations. It also includes all general legal work, agenda study, attending Council meetings and follow ups on Council inquiries. The other three items included within the retainer are self-explanatory but are "general" legal services. (I-4) 5. DEVELOPMENT SIGNS -- On Friday, September 11, two development signs will placed at the following locations: 1) East of Pineview Lane and 50th Avenue North. Craig Scherber is requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment, rezoning and preliminary plat for the Meadows at Bass Lake. The Comprehensive Plan amendment is from the Stage Growth Plan, the rezoning is from FRD (Future Restricted Development) District to R -1B (Low Density Residential) District, and R-3 (Medium Density Multiple Residential) District, and the preliminary plat is for 25 single family detached lots and 3 multifamily buildings containing 12 units each. 2) Southwest of Xenium Lane and Sunset Trail. Trammell Crow Company is requesting approval of a rezoning, preliminary plat, site plan, variance, and conditional use permit for Carlson Center Eighth Addition. The rezoning is from FRD (Future Restricted Development) District to I-1 (Planned Industrial) District, the preliminary plat is for the creation of 5 CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM September 11, 1987 Page five industrial lots, the site plan is for 2 office/warehouse buildings, the variance is for the parking setback, and the conditional use permit is to allow one of the industrial buildings to have more than 50% office space. These requests will be heard by the Planning Commission at their September 22 meeting. 6. TRANSIENT MERCHANT -- In duly, Fred Moore reported a problem with an unlicensed transient merchant selling sweet corn on County Road 9 by Ivy's Tavern. After a check by the Public Safety Department, the individual was tagged for selling in a restricted zone on the south of County Road 9, between Ivy's and Larch. For information purposes, this individual has been licensed by the city. A copy of the Police Department's report is attached. (I-6) 7. WATERMAIN FLUSHING -- The City will begin its Fall watermain flush- ing program on September 23. Industrial areas are scheduled for September 23 - 25, and residential areas from September 28 - October 30. A copy of the news release mailed to the local newspapers is attached. (I- 7 8.

AMM "GET TOGETHER" -- Attached is a memorandum from Neil Peterson, Association of Metropolitan Municipalities President, inviting city officials to the first annual AMM Shank and Tummy" Golf Social set for Thursday, October 1. (I-9) 10. WEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES PLANNING BOARD -- The WHHS Planning Board has released a report entitled "Poverty and Welfare Program In West Hennepin: Needs, Barriers, & Policy Issues" which identifies deficiencies in the delivery of human services within its service area. The report examines key financial issues including: low- paying and part-time jobs without benefits; public assistance grants and rent subsidies; medical childcare and housing costs; crisis assistance; and services for battered adults and children. It also outlines suggested reforms that would streamline delivery systems, provide more accessible services and provide more responsive programs for the area's poor and working poor in a cost-effective manner. I am keeping the report on file in my office for Council review. However, attached with this information memo, is the cover letter from dames McDonough, Jr., WHHS Board Chairman, and a summary of the report's highlights.

PLYMOUTH ON PARADE BILLINGSn-- In response to a request from ouncilmember Vasiliou , information on costs for printing Plymouth on Parade is attached. The memo outlines cost per page as well as the number of pages per issue over the past year. (I-11) 12. SOLID WASTE RECYCLING ISSUES -- On Thursday, September 10, Doug Reuter invited representatives from Hopkins, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Bloomington and Plymouth, to attend a meeting regarding solid waste recycling issues. Mr. Reuter was seeking the support of these municipalities on two concepts. The first is that the legis- lature should clarify the existing definition of "recycling" to include Reuter -type operations as part of the source separation recycling program rather than source separation only. As a second point, he suggested that cities pursue a further clarification of the statute which would allow cities under their refuse hauler licensing authority to direct solid wastes to PCA approved sites other than those established by the County. As a practical matter, these two clarifications will only affect the communities present at the meeting as the Reuter operation is the only one of its kind in the Twin Cities area. While Mr. Reuter is concerned about the future of his business enterprise, from the City of Plymouth's perspective, these two statutory clarifications would provide the Council with additional options in meeting County -mandated solid waste recycling goals. If the Council concurs with these proposals, we will ask to have them added to the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities legislative agenda for 1988. 13. 1988 PLYMOUTH METROLINK ROUTE CHANGES -- To be successful in a grow- ing community, public transportation must be responsive to change in community needs brought about by development. This year, as part of the annual planning program, we have analyzed the productivity of each Metrolink commuter and reverse commuter route in terms of its passenger carrying statistics for 1984 and 1987. In our evaluation, we looked for routes which were duplicating service to the same area, as well as those routes which did not display a reasonable ridership increase since 1984. As a result of this analysis, we found one commuter route (County Road 15) which requires revision. Reverse commuter routes were revised more significantly to eliminate low volume miles while redirecting coaches to new office develop- ments. Route revisions would deprive only two or three passengers at the most of Metrolink service in the worst case. In most cases, riders would only be affected by revised time schedules. Attached for Council information, are the routes as they presently exist together with the proposed changes. New route schedules will be available Octoer 1 with route revisions effective November 1. The revised schedules will be printed by individual route to improve understandability. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM September 11, 1987 Page seven In 1988, we will be evaluating the internal circulator route to determine what changes should be made to enhance our declining ridership. The changes proposed will not increase Plymouth Metrolink costs in 1988 as the number of vehicles involved, miles travelled, and drivers required, are essentially the same as our current service.

The project will give residents an opportunity to safely dispose of their unwanted household and garden chemicals, which contain many of the same chemicals as industrial hazardous wastes. Collections are scheduled for three Saturdays—September 12, 19 and 26 (8 a.m.-4 p.m.). The county will be split into three collection areas: Sept. 12, the south and southwest suburbs; Sept. 19, Minneapolis and St. Anthony; and Sept. 26, the north and northwest suburbs.

House- hold and garden chemicals which are improperly disposed of in landfills can lead to groundwater contamination, and pose a threat to waste haulers and the county's transfer stations and waste -to - energy plants. Hennepin County will pay for the disposal of the wastes collected, provide some of the collection locations and help staff the sites. Cities are providing some collection sites and volunteer staffing. Hennepin sponsored a pilot collection project for residents of Edina, Hopkins and St. Louis Park—representing about 10 percent of the county population—in October 1986. Approximately 1,200 people brought materials to that collec- tion. For more information about September collection days and household special wastes, call the Hennepin County Department of Environment and En- ergy's hazardous waste unit at 348-4919, or call your City Hall. a special report Hennepin County Solid Waste Disposal 6' Recajery County encourages cities, residents to increase recycling activities Three of every four Hennepin County households now have the opportunity to recycle cans, glass, newspaper and other materials through curbside programs and drop-off centers operating in their cities. Since the Hennepin County Board adopted a source -separation ordinance nine months ago, the number of cities served by residential programs or drop- off facilities has increased from 19 to more than 30, with the number of households served increasing to more than 300,000. The ordinance mandates that each city in the county have a recycling program in operation by 1988 and that each city recycle 16 percent of its solid waste by 1990. "Despite the increase in recycling opportunities, we have a long way to go since only about 3 percent of the waste in the county is currently being recy- cled," said Board Chairman Mark Andrew. "What we need is more participation by residents. Another county aim is to encourage cities that don't have recycling operations to get programs started by the first of the year." The number of cities with curbside programs has increased from seven in 1986 to 11 today, representing about 206,000 households. The 11 cities are Edina, Excelsior, Medicine Lake, Minneapolis, Minnetrista, Mound, Plymouth, Richfield, Spring Park, St. Louis Park and Tonka Bay. Deephaven, Greenwood, Shorewood and Woodland will start curbside programs later in August. The number of communities served by drop-off centers has increased from 12 in 1986 to 27 as of Aug. 1, representing about 95,000 households. The county Department of Environment and Energy projects that 250,000 households will have curbside programs and 148,000 will be served by drop-off facilities by the end of next year. (Some cities will have both curbside and drop- off.) about local recycling programs and facilities are urged to call Hennepin Recycles at 348-6500. The hotline is operated by Department of Environment and Energy staff. Another element of the county's recy- cling program is funding assistance for municipal programs. Hennepin funds 50 to 80 percent of the cost of each city's program, depending on the percentage of solid waste recycled. The more the city recycles, the more the county funds that community's program. If all cities meet their recycling goals (escalating from 4 to 16 percent), Hennepin would provide about $21 million to local programs in the five-year period 1987-1991. The county also is working with busi- nesses and industries to help them start or increase their source -separation activities. About half of the county's solid waste is generated by the commercial sector. Another area is the proper management of yard wastes, such as leaves and grass clippings. During the summer and fall, yard wastes can account for 16 to 30 percent of the residential solid waste. The county is urging homeowners to leave their grass clippings on the lawn so that they can work their way back into the soil. Turf experts say that grass clips can help homeowners maintain vigorous, more durable lawns. In addition, Hennepin is encouraging residents to start their own backyard compost piles. Composting leaves and grass is becom- ing an attractive alternative for managing yard waste and recycling natural materials. Composting provides an inexpensive and readily available product that can be used in the home, yard and garden. Hennepin County has operated its own compost program since 1972. The county is urging cities to begin separate yard -waste collection programs and fall leaf -pickup activities.

After four- intensive months of study, we of the West Hennepin {-human Services Planning Board, have identified some serious deficiencies in the delivery of human services within our service area. The results of our study were reported to the Hennepin County Commissioners last week:. This week:, we are sending a copy to you and to the local media for review. Statistics themselves are easy to overlook:. But, we have had the opportunity and education that only talking with those whom we intend to serve can provide. There are many barriers impeding the speedy and respectful delivery of emergency services in our area. But, the barriers can be torn down ... with thoughtful plans and a program of action. You are in a position to influence those who make the decisions that could make these vital human services more accessible for the people they are intended to serve. If you're pressed for time this minute, take a moment to read the Report Summary in this First Aid Kit or listen to the Audio Tape Summary as you drive to your office in the morning. We know that the facts will convince you to read the entire report and consider the implications. We hope your thoughtful consideration and support will compel you to contact the Hennepin County Commissioners with any specific concerns you may have regarding your community. If .you have any questions about report, please don't hesitate to call on anyone on the Planning Board for clarification. Sincerely ur Ja s J. Mc noug_h, Jr. , Pt D. Boar Chai n r 19a rtm tic REPORT HIGHLIGHTS II Last year in Western Hennepin County -- includino the cities of Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenfield, Greenwood, Hopkins, Independence, Long La{::e, Loretto, Maple Plain, Medicine Lake, Medina, Minnetont:a, Minnetonka Beach. Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Plymouth, Rockford, Shorewood, Sprinq Park, St. BonifaCioUs, St. Louis Part::, Tonk-a Pay, Wayzata and Woodland... T,729 families. needed emergency food. 152 families needed emergency shelter. 1,62 families needed emergency assistance with transportation, clothing or prescriptions. 1,_75 families needed energy assistance. (See page 63.) 11 There are over 6000 people living below the poverty level in our service area—and many of them are working. (See page 49.) CJ Transportation is a key obstacle for West Hennepin's poor. Public transit is limited --particularly intra -suburban transit. People in crisis must find transportation to one of the metropolitan service centers for emergency assistance. And,even the Job Service Office off Baker Road is only accessible by car. (See page6l.) CJ The average monthly cost of toddler daycare is $303.06 per month for one child. (Infant care averaqes $379.05 and pre-school care $259.89.) Many of the working poor are better off on AFDC, because they cannot afford child care. (See pages 15-16,25-26,39-40.) 11 The average cost of rental housing for a two-bedroom apartment in our area is $544 a month. Low-income renters spend over 40% of their income for housing. The general public spends an estimated 16% for theirs. It is possible to get on a waiting list for the limited subsidized housing in this area—the wait is 2 years. Federal guidelines require a parent to provide separate bedrooms for children of opposite sexes in order to qualify for assistance. (See pages 14, 16-17.) CJ AFDC Emergency Assistance is both time and dollar limited. A family is eligible for help only once during a 12 -month period, regardless of circumstances. And, Rent Assistance under this program can only be provided after an eviction notice has already been served. (See pages 14, 16-17.) CJ The real purchasing value of Public Assistance Grants, including Aid to Families with Dependent Children have gone down every year since 1986. (See pages 22-24.) CJ There is no adequately staffed or central place where people can go for information and referral when they don't know what's available... or what help they might be eligible for. (See pages 38, 62.) THERE ARE PRACTICAL, POSITIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES... READ OUR REPORT "POVERTY AND WELFARE PROGRAMS IN WEST HENNEPIN: NEEDS, BARRIERS & POLICY ISSUES"!

DATE.- TO: ATE:TO: FROM: SUBJECT CITY OF PLYMOUTH 340 _LYMiOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA J -5441 - TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO September 8, 1987 Councilmember Maria Vasiliou Helen LaFave PLYMOUTH ON PARADE BILLINGS Frank Boyles asked that I provide you with information on Plymouth on Parade billings. The printer, Precision Graphics, bills the City on a per page basis. Issues usually vary from 36 to 70 pages, including a self -cover. We are currently charged $95.86 per page for a quantity of 17,300. Consequently, a 52 -page issue costs $4,984.72. The cost per page increases $4.61 for each additional 1,000 copies. Half -tones cost $5 each. As you are aware, Plymouth on Parade occasionally features inserts to highlight important issues. In 1987, we have included 2 inserts as well as a 6 -page fold -out Plymouth park facilities map and grid. Because they deviate from the specifications, those are itemized separately on the bill. Please note, the insert on the fire station bond referendum was billed directly to the Public Safety Department. Additional charges against the Plymouth on Parade account include film and processing. We are also billed for any changes made after the keyline stage. This year the City was charged for reprinting a 16 -page signature to include information on the early sprinkling ban. If you have any questions, please contact me. Exact page counts for the past year are: Issue July/August 187 (Recycling Insert Cost $1,228) May/June '87 (Sprinkling Ban Reprinting Cost $1,782) (6 -Page Fold -Out $1,156) March/April '87 January/February '87 Pages Halftones Quantity 40 6 17,300 64 7 17,300 68 9 17,000 52 4 17,000 cu,,cilmember V,siliou �e,.terrber 8, 1967 Page 2 Issue November/December '86 (Correction on Silverprint: $43) September/October '86 July/August '86 HL:kec cc: Frank Boyles Pages Halftones Quantity 48 20 17,000 56 13 17,000 44 7 17,000 3af•7n•7 J' -tl xY7w lIN < I 13N Yl w I � Y 3lSv, NY � � P' S p - 1- =0 . `I ' ' L N•NN H HP n 1 > I Of �• tll N NtlN1tlN ��.

The city put some thought into this and it shows. Despite how we might complain at a meeting, I've had excellent cooperation from the city staff at all levels, esp. the building department.' Again, thanks for your concern. Yours ruly, f John D y Duffy Development Company August 20, 1987 Mr. Sohn Duffy and Mr. Wayman Hayman 10850 County Road 15 Plymouth, MN 55441 Gentlemen: C"_ c r" CITY Or PUMOUT4 Tom Ravn, Project Manager for the Plymouth Park and Ride expansion, and I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with you at the Park and Ride lot yesterday afternoon. As Tom indicated, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDot) will proceed to mark the two large trees immediately adjacent to the West end of your parking lot. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will make every effort to slope around these large trees to save them as a visual buffer on MnDot property between your parking lot and the Park and Ride lot. Tom also described for you, the areas which will be filled and excavated for drainage purposes. From our conversation, I gathered that the arrangements were appropriate from your perspective, if indeed implemented as we agreed.

Willis, City Manager ��� FROM: Frank Boyles, Assistant City Managef\ SUBJECT PARK AND RIDE LOT EXPANSION I received a telephone call this morning from Mr. John Duffy who has interest in the new office building lying just adjacent to the Plymouth Park and Ride Lot. You recall that some months back, Mr. Duffy expressed a concern about expansion of the lot. At his request, you, I, and Fred Moore met with Mr. Duffy at the site to respond to his concerns of drainage, tree loss, and general layout of the site. As a result of our meeting, I forwarded a letter to Mr. Duffy confirm- ing his suggestion that the Park and Ride Lot will be considered and likely implemented once the parking lot expansion takes place. The tree loss and drainage questions will be dealt with as part of the approval process. On the basis of my letter, I thought that Mr. Duffy had been satis- fied. Mr. Duffy called this morning expressing concern about expan- sion of the Park and Ride Lot. He was chagrined that the Planninq Commission and City Council had already approved the project, although I assured him that Engineering and Planning had reviewed the plans for, among other things, his concerns. I supplied him with a copy of the Minnesota Department of Transportation Project Narative includ- ing a sketch of the proposed expansion and the name and telephone number for Carl Hoffstead, District 5, Minnesota Department of Trans- portaton. I spoke with Carl this afternoon. He advises me that a project manager will be selected on June 26, 1987, which is the date for letting the project. I have forwarded a letter to Mr. Duffy (attached), advising him of this fact and stating that I will try to arrange a meeting with Mr. Duffy, the project manager, and myself to assure that actual construction is as responsive to Mr. Duffy's concerns about drainage and tree loss as possible. My letter (attached) indicates that to respond to the drainage issue requires filling adjacent to the Park and Ride lot expansion and consequently, removal of the trees located between Duffy's parking lot and the Park and Ride lot expansion. May 28, 1987 Mr. Sohn Duffy Duffy Development Company 10850 County Road 15 Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Mr. Duffy: CITY O� PLYMOUTH Following your telephone call, I spoke with Carl Hoffstead, District 5, Minnesota Department of Transportation. Carl advised me that the Park and Ride lot expansion is scheduled for bid letting on dune 26, 1987. He stated that at that time, a project manager would be named. I asked Carl to give me a call once this has taken place. You have expressed concern both about the drainage measures to be taken and the trees lying between the proposed expansion and your lot. To properly direct drainage on the MnDOT parcel to the east, filling will take place between the proposed expansion area and your lot. While this filling will resolve the drainage issue, it will result in the removal of the trees currently lying in this area. My intent is to arrange a meeting between the project manager, you and me at the site in late dune to further discuss your concerns with MnDOT representatives.

I recognize that Realtors are not always diligent in picking up signs and possibly this activity should be addressed, however, prohibiting the use of signs to market properties is a disservice to home owners who, in fact, are tax- payers. Some questions come to mind: 1) Have letters been sent to all companies --many companies are located outside Plymouth but have listings within City limits. 2) How do you plan to handle the Parade of Homes? Signs are up for two weeks, on major routes, telephone poles, etc. 3) Are you serving the best interests of your residents? Open houses account for 20-22% of sales. Advertising produces 3-4% of sales. Without open signs, our marketing process is severely hampered. I am asking that City Council review this ordinance and revise it so that it is fair, consistent and equitable to all parties concerned. Thanks fgr-your cooperation. tuly yours, i ��_.
