(I-2) 3. SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION, OAKWOOD SHORES, SECOND ADDITION -- In a letter dated April 21 from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the City was served with a notice of violation for failure to obtain a State Disposal System permit for sanitary sewer extension for the Oakwood Shores Second Addition, prior to its construction. According to Minnesota Rule 7001.0030, no person may construct, install, modify, operate, or commence an activity for which a permit is required until the Pollution Control Agency has issued a written permit for the facility or activity. The City has been operating under the assumption that it was in compliance with State Statute to allow a contractor to work on a sanitary sewer line that was not physically connected to an existing sewer line. However, this is not the case, and a permit must be obtained from the MPCA. A permit for the sewer extension was submitted to the MPCA in February, 1987. However, the permit was not issued because of a question raised by the Corps of Engineers. In April, an amended permit application was submitted which eliminated the portion of the project under review by the Corps of Engineers. We are now requesting the MPCA to review and issue the permit as amended in order that the City may come into conformance with MPCA regulations. Attached is a letter dated April 23 to the MPCA from Sherm Goldberg responding to the notice of violation. At an April 28 meeting between Sherm Goldberg and Mr. Gillen, the MPCA accepted Sherm's letter and indicated they would act to release the permits. A memorandum from Sherm on the meeting is also attached. (I-3) 4.

Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Specifications for Wells 8 and 9 Pumping Facilities Last Council meeting the City Council rejected all bids for the pumping facilities for Wells 8 and 9. This was done because of a threat by one of the bidders to get an injunction against the project if they were not awarded the contract. Although the legal opinion of the City Attorney was that we were on sound legal grounds, the Council did not want to have any possible delay of the project. The portion of the project which is needed immediately is the temporary pumping facility for Well No. 8. The Council requested a further explanation on why the situation developed. The specifications for the project included a condition that the bidders were to include a "Pump Data Sheet" prior to the bid date. The reason for this Pump Data Sheet was to determine after bids were received which pump was the lowest cost. On past wells it has been determined that the lowest first cost of a pump is not necessarily the lowest overall cost to the City. The reason for this being the efficiency and operating costs of the pump. The information needed to make this determination was to be included within the Data Sheet. Although the Data Sheet was provided by some manufacturers, it was not provided by the manufacturer of the pump used by the low bidder before the receipt of bids. They did provide the Data Sheet the day after bids were received. Based upon the analysis the pump being proposed by the low bidder was also the most economical pump based on operating costs. The technical question raised was the timing of the submittal of the Data Sheet. As with all detailed specifications, I do not believe it is possible to ensure that we will never have an objection from a contractor who was not successful in receiving the low bid. To my knowledge within the last ten years we have only received two objections. The first objection involved a bid for which a contractor did not insert a unit item. This was a very valid concern and for that reason the contractor's bid had to be rejected. Concern stated by the contractor at this time, in my opinion, was not valid. I believe this is supported by the City Attorney. If it was not critical to have the temporary pump installed, which was included as part of the specifications, it would have been my recommendation that we call the contractor's bluff. I do not believe they would have been able to obtain any type of injunction against the project. Memo: James G. Willis April 30, 1987 Page Two I believe that in the future all we can do is to stress with the consulting engineers that they need to review all proposals to determine if they were in accordance with the specifications. This should be done before any recommendation is made on the award of the contract. I do not believe this problem would have occurred if the consulting engineer had originally recommended that the contract be awarded based upon the "Base Bid". It was the change in this recommendation which brought about further objections, and therefore, was in the best interest of the Citv to reject all bids. I will continue to stress with our consultants the need to completely analyze their specifications and the proposals before making a recommendation. Fred G. Moore, P.E. FGM:kh a special a Hennepin County Solid Waste Disposal & ReZ:. Permits for resource -recovery pl approved by PCA, City CouncilXIX , y Drawing of HERC plant The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minneapolis City Council have approved the permits for a 1,000 -ton -per - day waste -to -energy plant just northwest of downtown Minneapolis. Hennepin Energy Resources Co. (NERC) received Pollution Control Agency permits for air quality and solid - waste disposal Jan. 27. The citizens' board vote was 6-3 in favor of granting the permits. The agency's technical staff had recommended that the permits be approved, stating that the air-quality permit imposes stringent conditions to protect the public's health and the environment. HERC, whose parent company is Blount, Inc., of Montgomery, Ala., received a conditional -use permit from the City of Minneapolis April 10. The Hennepin County Board voted April 14 to give HERC the go-ahead to begin construction. Commercial operation of This is an artist's sketch of the HERC plant. A citizens' committee, appointed by the Hennepin County Board, assisted with the final design of the exterior of the plant to help it to conform to the aesthetics of the surrounding area. the plant, following extensive testing, is to begin in 1990. HERC will construct, own and operate the facility on a 14.6 -acre site leased from the county. The site is bounded by 6th Avenue North and 7th Street North, and 5th Street North and the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. The facility will burn unprocessed solid waste to generate electricity, which will be sold to Northern States Power Co., and possibly steam to heat downtown buildings. The plant will feature the most advanced mass -burn technology. The process is known as mass burn because waste is burned with little or no precombustion processing. Combustion will take place in two waterwall furnaces. The combustion chamber walls will be constructed of steel tubes through which water is circulated and heated to produce steam, thus the name waterwall furnace. The steam then will be directed to a turbine generator to produce electricity. Steam also could be extracted when required for sale to the downtown energy market. Emissions from the plant will be controlled by two atomizing dry scrubbers and two high -efficiency baghouse collectors — the best available technology — to minimize the plant's potential impact on air quality. The final environment impact statement on the project was approved by the Metropolitan Council last July. Some of the topics evaluated were air quality, odor and traffic. The final environmental impact statement found no major environmental problems associated with the operation of the plant. The cost of constructing the resource - recovery plant, excluding land acquisition, will be $81 million. The contract is for a 28 -year -period of operation, with possible renewal periods. jaded algeloAoaj uo palu!jd 01,55 NW, 'NlnowAld SOA19 E11(1oNA1d 007£ wlnc,r�l,id �o �t1la HAnv_NdW SI11I M 00 93wvf uuryy'stlodoauuiW V9Zl. t!u»ad aIVd 3wlsod s n 3Ivd Nina a special report At more than 25 sites _= uaspnug uqor'aolTPZ luaurlivdaQ s.lMjV opgrtd atn Sq pe-mdaaa a.iaug pus luautuoacnuz ;o luouilaedaQ Sjunoo utdouuaH aql jo laodaa goads V L861 I!jdy 51{,gg •uuiW 'sztod'eauutyi "9S PSE 'S zz8 ,9,�gSaua W Iuauiuoatnu[q ;o luauilS2daQ Iunoo utdauuaH Hennepin County, several cities begin distribution of free compost to public Hennepin County and 20 cities are making compost available to the public free of charge this spring. The county's compost program, which has been in operation since 1972, reduces the need for landfilling yard wastes and provides gardeners with an excellent soil conditioner. The county operates distribution sites in Eden Prairie (go one and a half miles west of Highway 169 on County Road 1, then south one-quarter mile on County Road 4), Hopkins (at the county Bureau of Public Service building at 320 Washington Ave.), and in Maple Grove (go one and a half miles west of County Road 18/Highway 169 on County Road 109, then north one-eighth mile on Zachary Lane). A front-end loader will be available at the Eden Prairie and Maple Grove sites on weekends through May 1. For more information, call 935-3381. Hennepin's Eden Prairie and Maple Grove sites also accept yard wastes — leaves and grass clippings — from April 1 through November 30. Cities which are operating distribution sites are Bloomington (two sites), Brooklyn Center, Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Edina, Excelsior, Hopkins, Medina, Minneapolis (four sites), Minnetrista, Mound, New Hope, Orono, Plymouth, Richfield, Robbinsdale, St. Anthony, St. Louis Park and Wayzata. The county recommends that two to three inches of compost be thoroughly mixed into the soil prior to planting vegetable or flower gardens. For more information on compost and its usage, call the Hennepin County Extension Service at 559-4321. Hennepin County and several cities began distributing compost to the public in mid-April. Compost improves the moisture -holding capacity of the soil, makes the soil more erosion resistant, and increases aeration of the soil so there may be better plant growth. �=3 M 14k in 2 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency CRY April 21, 1987 The Honorable Virgil Schneider Mayor, City of Plymouth City Hall 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 Dear Mayor Schneider: CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Re: Plymouth Wastewater Collection System Sanitary Sewer Extension, Oakwood Shores, Second Addition Enclosed and served upon you by certified mail this date is a Notice of Violation (NOV) issued to the City of Plymouth for failure to obtain a State Disposal System (SDS) permit for a sanitary sewer extension, identified as Oakwood Shores, Second Addition, prior to its construction in the City of Plymouth.

The City's review policy for sanitary sewer plans is as follows: The City of Plymouth requires that all sanitary sewer plans submitted be prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) qualified in the field of preparing such plans. The plans are reviewed to assure their conformance with the City's Adopted Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Plan. This plan has been previously approved by the MWCC. The consulting engineer is required to complete the MPCA Permit, and it is signed by the qualified representative, as well as by the City Engineer for the City of Plymouth. The flow and BOD computations are checked to assure their accuracy. The permit is then forwarded to the MPCA as well as the MWCC. Upon receipt of the aforementioned permits the contractor can start construction. We will make the following modifications to our existing policy: We have been operating under the assumption that we are in compliance with the State Statutes if a contractor worked on a sanitary sewerline, but it was not physically connected to an existing sewerline. That being a false assumption, we will not allow any construction to start until a permit is furnished by your office. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. Peter J.

The permit application was amended in April to remove the portion of the project under review by the Corps of Engineers. Compliance with the MPCA regulations would be obtained if the permit, as amended, was issued by the MPCA. We are, therefore, requesting that the MPCA complete their review and issue the permit.

Carlquist - Public Safety Director /, SUBJECT QUARTERLY POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT Since Lieutenant Solberg's absence, I have been quite tardy in getting out the monthly reports to .you concerning Police Department statistics. I have enclosed with this memo the reports for February and March, as well as the First Quarter Report on Police Department Calls for Service and the Investigations Section Quarterly Report. It appears that our Calls for Service are keeping pace with the Dow Jones averages. Overall we are up a whooping 25% in demands for our services this first quarter. Our Class I and Class II crimes have scored the greatest increases in percentages when compared with the same time period in 1986. Serious crime is up 40% and miscellaneous crime is up almost 50%. In this latter category, the crime of Vandalism has increased almost 200%. I would attribute some of the increase in this first quarter to the increase in the number of residents and people working in Plymouth. However, I would speculate that the lion's share of the increase could be attributed to the unseason- ably warm winter and spring.

Humphrey Center • 301 19th Avenue South • University of Minnesota • Minneapolis, MN 55455 April 1987 The Twin Cities Poor: A Housing Crisis Highlights Twice as many poor people as the general population live in housing conditions they consider undesirable. Cost is the most widespread housing problem reported by the Twin Cities poor. Poor people on average pay two and a half times more of their income for housing than the general population. One-third of all low income households reported going without other basic necessities in order to pay for housing. Introduction The cost of housing is one of the most serious problems facing low income people in the Twin Cities. Data from the Low Income Survey, recently conducted by the University of Minnesota, document the high cost of housing and show significant percentages of persons in low income households going without other necessities, including food, in order to pay for their housing. Those who are homeless, even for a short time, represent a small percentage of the Twin Cities poor. Three percent of the respondents to the survey said they had spent some time during the past year without a regular home and five percent had used some kind of emergency housing. The survey data made clear, however, that much larger percentages of the poor are engaged in an ongoing struggle to remain housed. Low-income people usually rent. Among households in the general population, one in four are renters; among the poor, almost two out of three (64 percent) households are renters. Low-income people also move more frequently. During the last two years, one of every five Twin Cities residents moved at least once while among the poor one of every three moved. Of those low income households which moved, half moved once and the other half moved two or more times. The moves, however, tended to be within a city. A large majority of the Twin Cities poor are long term residents of the area. Two thirds of all low income About the Survey The Twin Cities Low -Income Survey was designed and conducted in 1984 and 1985 by the Center for Survey Research at the University of Minnesota. It was carried out in conjunction with the Center's annual sample survey of all Twin Cities area households. The objective of the low income survey was to identify the characteristics and needs of low income Twin Cities residents. (The definition of low income appears in the table below.) Telephone and personal interviews were completed with 966 randomly -selected households in 1984 and 523 households in 1985. For further information on the design of the survey, please refer to the first issue of Profiles, "An Overview: The Twin Cities Poor and Their Problems," or contact the Minnesota Center for Survey Research at (612) 627-4282. Household Upper Income Limit Size 1 $10,000 2 $13,000 3 $15,000 4 $17,000 5 $18,000 6+ $20,000 Condition of Unit Table 1 7-11---7 Respondents' Attitudes About Their Housing Size of Unit Quality of Neighborhood 'GP = General Population LI = Low Income households moved to their present residence from another location in the same city. Low income households have resided in the same city slightly longer on average than households in the general population (25 years compared to 21 years). Despite their moves, housing still consumed a very large portion of the income of most poor people in the Twin Cities. Low income households paid an average monthly rent of $278; the comparable figure for households in the general population was $364 (1983 data). While the average rent paid is lower for poor households, average monthly income is lower still. The result is that rent represents 16% of the median monthly income for the general population but 39% of the median monthly income of low income households. In other words, relative to their income poor people on average pay two and a half times more for housing than the general population. Quality of Housing Respondents to the survey were asked to rate their housing on three characteristics: the condition of the unit, whether the unit was the right size, and whether or not the neighborhood was a good place to live. The responses are displayed in Table 1. Rather small percentages of low income respondents indicated dissatisfaction with the condition and size of their housing unit. The most frequently mentioned improvements needed for those units rated as "poor" or "very poor' were cosmetic (carpet, paint) or insulation. Also, the vast majority of poor tenants (81 percent) reported that their landlords generally made needed repairs. The most dissatisfaction with their housing among poor people related to the neighborhood. Over a third of the respondents rated their neighborhood as less than "good." For the neighborhood question, the average hides wide differences between respondents living within Minneapolis or St. Paul and those in other parts of the Twin Cities area. Almost half (46%) of the respondents in the central cities rated their neighborhood as less than "good" while 18 percent of the suburban respondents expressed similar opinions.

Housing Costs The most widespread housing problem for poor people is cost. For large majorities of the poor, high cost complicated the search for housing, led to excessive percentages of income being spent on housing, and resulted in households going without food and other necessities to pay for housing. One in three low income respondents reported looking for different housing during the last year and of these two out of three said they had problems finding adequate housing that they could afford. Of those who searched for housing, households with children experienced much greater difficulties than childless households in finding adequate and affordable housing (see Figure 1).

The rent payments graphed in Figure 2 frequently did not include heating costs. For all renters paying 50 percent or more of their monthly income for housing, one out of every four also had to pay for heat.

It is generally agreed that those paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing are excessively burdened with housing costs. Fifty-four percent of all low income owners and 63 percent of low income renters are paying this much or more for their housing. As Figure 2 shows, regardless of household composition, many low income households are paying extraordinarily large percentages of their incomes on housing. Almost one-third (30%) of all low income households had trouble finding enough money in the past year to pay for basic utilities such as heat and electricity. (Half of those who had trouble here received energy assistance monies to help pay their utility bills.) Among low income households with children, over half (52%) reported difficulty paying for their utilities. Trade-offs for Housing Respondents to the Low Income Survey were asked, "Have you ever had to do without other necessities in order to pay your housing costs?" Over one-third (34%) of all respondents answered, "Yes." Respondents in almost half (49%) of all rental households with children answered "Yes." And, finally, in one half of the households where this question was answered affirmatively, in order to pay for their housing persons had gone without other necessities either "very often" or "pretty often." These foregone necessities included adequate food, heat, clothing, and medical care. (For further discussion of this point, please see Profiles, report/two, "Unmet Basic Needs of Low-income Single Parent Families," CUBA: 2/87.) Ten percent of all low income respondents said that someone in their household had to skip meals that month because of a lack of money to buy food. Figure 3 shows by family type how skipping meals for lack of money correlates with high housing costs. Housing Subsidy Programs Over one-third of all low income rental households received some form of governmental housing assistance. Many households, however, particularly hard hit by high housing costs and forced to choose between being housed and meeting other basic necessities are not receiving housing assistance. For example, respondents from more than one third of all rental households with children and paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing reported they did not receive any form of governmental housing assistance. Clearly all those who need and many who would qualify for specific housing subsidy programs are not being covered by the existing programs. Moreover, the data show clearly that many families that do receive housing assistance still face impossible choices between utility payments and adequate food, between winter clothing and medical care.

Trade-offs for Housing Respondents to the Low Income Survey were asked, "Have you ever had to do without other necessities in order to pay your housing costs?" Over one-third (34%) of all respondents answered, "Yes." Respondents in almost half (49%) of all rental households with children answered "Yes." And, finally, in one half of the households where this question was answered affirmatively, in order to pay for their housing persons had gone without other necessities either "very often" or "pretty often." These foregone necessities included adequate food, heat, clothing, and medical care. (For further discussion of this point, please see Profiles, report/two, "Unmet Basic Needs of Low-income Single Parent Families," CUBA: 2/87.) Ten percent of all low income respondents said that someone in their household had to skip meals that month because of a lack of money to buy food. Figure 3 shows by family type how skipping meals for lack of money correlates with high housing costs. Housing Subsidy Programs Over one-third of all low income rental households received some form of governmental housing assistance. Many households, however, particularly hard hit by high housing costs and forced to choose between being housed and meeting other basic necessities are not receiving housing assistance. For example, respondents from more than one third of all rental households with children and paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing reported they did not receive any form of governmental housing assistance. Clearly all those who need and many who would qualify for specific housing subsidy programs are not being covered by the existing programs. Moreover, the data show clearly that many families that do receive housing assistance still face impossible choices between utility payments and adequate food, between winter clothing and medical care. Implications Housing location and costs are problems for large numbers of low income households. The survey found little agreement as to how the problems with location might be solved. The most frequent response, mentioned by one third of those rating their neighborhood as "poor" or 'fair," was "improve public safety." Other suggestions were to improve the availability of social services and shopping facilities as well as the behavior of their neighbors. Nevertheless, the majority of low income households wanted to remain in the same neighborhood. In spite of continuing to search for affordable and adequate housing and relatively frequent moves, poor households are paying excessive percentages of their income for housing, and diverting income from other necessities. Meanwhile the number of subsidized housing units in the Twin Cities peaked in 1983 and has continued to decline every year since then. The federal government has stopped funding construction of new subsidized housing units. Some of the least expensive housing — old single room occupancy hotels in the downtown areas, for example — continues to be demolished with only a small percentage of the units replaced. The housing cost crisis for low income households will continue to grow unless there is a dramatic change in federal housing policy.

Qso Public policies or programs which increase the number of affordable housing units or cap the percentage of income that low income persons spend for housing would free up income for food, medical and dental care, clothing and other day-to-day needs. As the data show, however, capping an inadequate income does not free up enough money to enable these households to meet their basic needs of food, clothing, education, and health care.

The Metropolitan Council is responsible for conducting the study in this region. The Council requested its Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) to undertake the study for them because of the board's experience with the topic and the study's potential impact on local government. The TAB had put together a Highway Jurisdiction Task Force in 1980 to examine issues of highway Jurisdiction. In early 1986 it reactivated the Task Force to produce the report. Representation on the task force was drawn mainly from local elected officials and transportation professionals. CONCERNS Highway jurisdiction not only involves questions of who should own roadways, and thus bear the financial impact for their maintenance, but also what functions the roadways should serve. Unless the issue of fiscal impact can be addressed in a manner that participating units of government feel is equitable, it will be difficult to accomplish significant changes in roadway jurisdiction. Another issue involves equity throughout the state. There is very little enthusiasm to recommend significant roadway transfers in the Metropolitan Area when it is possible that other regions throughout the state are not going to do so. The concern is that the region could be a financial loser in the transfer of jurisdiction from the state to local government. RECOMMENDATIONS The report identifies processes that, if established, could facilitate an orderly rearrangement of street and highway jurisdictions. Its recommendations focus on improving the process for facilitating highway jurisdiction changes. No specific roadways are identified for transfer in the study. The report calls for the creation of a highway jurisdiction board by the state legislature. The board would have a number of responsibilities including facilitating and resolving the transfer of roadway ownership as well as reviewing other directly related jurisdictional matters. DPF361 April 24, 1987 The Honorable Bill Frenzel U.S. Representative 1026 Longworth House Office Washington, D.C. 20515 SUBJECT: H.R. 162/S. 79 Dear Representative Frenzel: .. CITY OF PLYMOUTF+ H.R. 162, the High Risk Occupational Disease Notification and Prevention Act of 1987, represents needless duplication and unlimited financial exposure to state and local governments as employers. Under H.R. 162, and on a more limited basis, under S. 79., the bills would: 1. Apply both to current city employees as well as former city personnel. The city would be responsible for both. 2. Would deal with current hazardous exposures and previous hazardous exposures. The city would be responsible for both. 3. Under the legislation, at the employee's request, the city must provide any testing evaluation and medical monitorinq related to the employee's "hazardous occupational exposure" includinq exposure which occurred during previous employment(for private as well as public employers). 4. If any part of the exposure occurred during the employee's current job tenure with the city, the city would be required to provide all medical attention at no cost to the employee. 5. If the exposure occurred prior to the city hiring the employee, the city would still have to pay for medical services. 6. If the employee's physician determines that the individual must temporarily or permanently move to a less hazardous job, the city must provide for a change in employee status without reducing salary, benefits, or seniority. Minnesota is a leader with respect to occupational safety and health. But even Minnesota uses the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administrative guidelines for its program. Under those guidelines, each employer is required to establish an employee right -to -know program to Identify and reduce hazards to employees as a result of hazardous substances. The law requires that the employer provide and require the employee use the necessary personal protective equipment to reduce such exposure. Moreover, the federal law requires that employers initiate respirator training programs to teach employees when respirators must be used which respirators to use and how to use and maintain them. Other portions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act define the type of personnel protection equipment, including gloves, aprons, boots, etc. for 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447. TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 April 24, 1987 Page two employees to minimize exposure to hazardous substances. The employer is required to pay all costs associated with supplying, maintaining, and training employees on respirator and personnel protective equipment usage. Employers are required to enforce these provisions. Under current state statute, Minnesota Worker's Compensation law would provide wage continuation benefits to an employee if a disability resulted from exposure to hazardous materials on the job. In short, while H.R. 162 and S. 79 are laudable in their objectives, they are unnecessary because the objectives are met through present law. Finally, both laws create new exposure to local governments by making them responsible for any current or previous diseases contracted by current or former employees, and any medical treatment associated therewith. We urge you to oppose both pieces of legislation in their current form. If it is not broken, please do not fix it. Yours very truly Id Frank Boyles Assistant City Manager FB:jm cc: James G.

Sentman 13510 Sunset Trail Plymouth, MN. 55441 April 30, 1987 City of Plymouth Election Officials City Councilmembers 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN. 55447 Subject: Special Election of 4/28/87-- Complaint Negligent & Unfair Campaign Practices for the eighth precinct Election Officials; The correct address for the eighth precinct polling place ( Christ Memorial Church ) is 13501 Sunset Trail not County Road 15. The City of Plymouth changed the name of this road via ordinance 86-18 effective 10/1/86 to Sunset Trail. The new road signs were installed on or about this effective date, and there have been no Hennepin County Road 15 road signs present on Sunset trail in 1987. The City of Plymouth did publish offical notice of this polling place incorrectly, and mailed campaign material to eighth precinct voters listing the polling place as 13501 County Road 15 which is a non-existant address. The official 1987 street map shows it as Sunset Trail. The City of Plymouth did correct voter registration listing records to Sunset Trail but not the address of the polling place for the eighth precinct, or the precinct map. On election day the City of Plymouth Election Officials placed large voting notice signs at the new church driveway entrance on Xenium Lane or New Hennepin County Road 61. In past years the signs had been placed at its' mailing address on County Road 15. I personally notified- an election judge, City Clerk -Laurie Brandt, City Manager -James Willis, Mayor -Virgil Schneider,and Councilmember- Maria Vasiliou, all before 1 PM that day, explained my concerns, and asked to have the sign moved to its previous location on Sunset Trail. I was given assurances that the sign would be moved, but it was not moved before the polling place closed at 8 PM. The City of Plymouth may have unduly influenced voters in precincts other than 8 to vote on the bond issue for the new geographical placement of a fire station. The issue did not involve contestants running for public office, or other policy matters. It is my intention to file a similar complaint with the Hennepin County Attorney to determine if any election or voting laws have been violated. ,.Sincerely uurs, James H.

Spellman, Project Manager Hennepin County Department of Transportation 320 Washington Avenue South Hopkins, Minnesota 55343 Subject: County Road 9 Improvement Project County Project No. 6901 City Project No. 642 Dear Bob: The City of Plymouth is very pleased with the progress that the contractor has made on the New County Road 9 improvement project. Because of favorable weather conditions the contractor is ahead of schedule. In accordance with anticipated schedules, it was projected that County Road 9 between Northwest Boulevard and I-494 would be closed to traffic during July. Because of the construction that has been accomplished, we have now been informed that it may be possible to begin this work within this area shortly after June 1. We are requesting that you contact both the Wavzata and Robbinsdale School Districts and coordinate the closure of County Road 9 with the ending of this school season. I believe that both districts are in session until approximately June 10. If the closure of County Road 9 can be deferred until after the end of the current school session, it would not affect their normal bus routes. In any event the school districts should be informed in advance of the road closure in order that they can make the necessary arrangement for their bus transportation. The City would also request that approximately two weeks before the closure of County Road 9 "Informational Signs" be placed on County Road 9,, County Road 61 and West Medicine Lake Drive informing the motorists of the date the road will be closed. This should allow motorists ample time to prepare to take alternate routes. I believe the coordination of the co4ptruction project has been adequate between the County staff and the City staff. We will be looking forward to this continuing cooperation during the remainder of the project. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E. Director of Public Works FGM:kh cc: James G.

During our telephone conversation I explained our origional position of getting prior consent from the resident, to put up an A.D.S. tube, had changed. As you are aware, there is a tremendous amount of building going on in Plymouth. With that in mind our position evolved to being one where we would install an A.D.S. tube, prior to consent. We then had the intention of answering objections at the residents request. After examining the situation, it is my opinion that A.D.S. can return to the implemen- tation of our previous practice. We will inform the residents that we will be in- stalling a tube for then, prior to it happening. Further, at the time we install the tube, we will leave additional information about the tube and it's purpose for the residents approval. We will pertly respond to any objections to the satis- faction of the resident. All of us at A.D.S. appreciate and share your concern. A.D.S. intends to continue providing service to the Plymouth area, but in no way intends to appear aggressive. We very mach prefer to work with individual communities for a win -van situation. I hope this clearly indicates our intentions and that they are to your satisfaction. Please feel free to give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. Sincerely, 1 Peter J.

You suggested that the intersection needed the following improvements: 1. Repainting the white center and side lines in the intersection area. 2. Provide additional space for walkers and bikers to pass safely through the intersection, especially where the roadway narrows and curves. The City will begin the repainting of the markings on our Citv streets on April 28 or 29. It requires approximately two weeks to complete the markings throughout the City, and therefore, this intersection will be completed during or before the week of Mav 11. Because of our early spring conditions, the restriping is approximately one month ahead of previous years. We have reviewed your suggestion that additional space be provided for walkers and bikers. Currently there is a six foot wide marked shoulder along Old County Road 15 from the LaCompte Playfield to Easterly of the Union Terrace Lane intersection. As you have stated, this shoulder narrows through the Quaker Lane Intersection with Highway 55. We have reviewed the existing construction, and it is possible to widen the existing asphalt to provide for this six foot wide shoulder through the intersection and continuing to Quaker Lane. We will schedule the installation of this additional asphalt with our maintenance crews in order that the work can take place before June 1.

Traffic at this intersection is heavy, especially in the morning and evening, making is dangerous for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. I suspect the situation will further further deteriorate as construction continues around the Hwy 18/55 interchange. We have a nice park in the neighborhood; LaCompte, but there is NO WAY IN THIS WORLD I would let my kids walk of ride to the park unescorted through this intersection. The intersection was designed with only one purpose in mind - to move traffic through the area (and it does a poor job at that. Visibility is dreadful with the sharp curves). No provision was made for pedestrian or bicycle traffic. This intersection needs improvement NOW before someone is injured. I suggest you start by: 1. repainting the white center and side lines in the intersection area 2. provide additional space for walkers and bikes to pass safely through the intersection, especially where the road- way narrows in the curves.
