FOR YOUR INFORMATION.....
I. COUNCILMEMBER VASILIOU CONCERNS - Councilmember Vasiliou called on
July 3, 1989 concerning four items requiring follow up. They are:
a. Tim and Cindy Harrer, 10725 - 15th Avenue North, complaint about
unlicensed vehicles, old lumber, branches, garbage bags, etc.,
on adjacent property. (See attached letter). John Sigfrinius,
Community Service Officer, conducted an inspection of the
property on June 27, and advised the Harrer's of the status of
their complaint, both by letter on July 1 and by phone on
July 5. I have also sent a memorandum to Fred Moore regarding
the Harrer's request for improvement of 15th Avenue North. City
Engineer Dan Faulkner is scheduled to discuss this request with
the Medicine Lake City Council Monday evening. (I -la)
b. Complaint from David Betlock that Hennepin County contractors
for the County Road 6 improvement project entered upon his
property and removed the hedge to bury utility lines without
advanced notice to him. Fred Moore has contacted the County,
who had not issued a permit to Northwestern Bell to complete the
work. Had they issued a permit, the City would have been aware
that the work was being undertaken. As a reminder, Fred has
written a memorandum to Steve Deuth, Engineering Aide,
confirming that he should be advised of all permits applied for
by the County. The County has now issued Northwestern Bell a
permit for the relocation work. (I -lb)
c. Complaints received from residents in the Oakwood Park area
regarding late night activities during the week of June 26.
Attached is a memorandum from Eric Blank to all park attendants
as a reminder of the hours of park operation. (I -lc)
d. County Road 9/Annapolis Lane stop sign - The City has received
the traffic study from Hennepin County on the need for a traffic
signal at County Road 9 and Annapolis Lane. The results of the
traffic study are as follows:
I. Considering all traffic entering the intersection, Warrant
No. 2, interruption of continuous traffic is met.
CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
July 7, 1989
Page 3
2. Warrant No. 11, peak hour volume, is exceeded during the
afternoon peak period.
3. The accident record for this intersection supplied by the
Minnesota Department of Public Safety indicates only three
accidents have occurred during the five year period of
1984-88. Two of these happened in 1988 and one in 1987.
The County's analysis of the existing traffic at this intersection
indicates that 70% of the traffic approaching the intersection on
Annapolis Lane from the south turns right on County Road 9 to
proceed east. If this volume of traffic is deleted from the signal
warrant considerations, the remaining traffic volume would fall
below all signal warranting requirements. This has been discussed
with the City's traffic consultants and they indicate this is the
standard practice used by MnDOT when analyzing the need for traffic
signals. This is done because of the law where vehicles can turn
right on a red signal.
Fred Moore is having the traffic data obtained by the County
reviewed by our traffic consultant. They will analyze the delay
time for left turning vehicles and also the conflicts for right
turning vehicles. We expect to receive their analysis by July 20.
2. TEMPORARY MAINTENANCE EMPLOYEES - During the summer months the City
hires from 15 to 30 temporary employees to assist in accomplishing
our peak maintenance responsibilities. As the park usage schedules
have increased by virtue of more leagues and longer seasons, we have
found that the temporary employees who, by law, may work no more
than 67 days if a non -student, or more than 100 days if a full-time
student, are not able to accomplish all the necessary maintenance
functions.
The 1989 budget contained funding to hire four temporary maintenance
employees who would work approximately 170 days each year. Under
the Public Employee Labor Relations Law, these four employees would
be considered public employees. Because maintenance employees are
represented by the union, these employees would be included within
the bargaining unit. Since April, we have been negotiating with
AFSCME, the bargaining representative for maintenance employees, on
wages and conditions of employment for these positions. After three
meetings and numerous phone calls, we have not achieved agreement on
this issue - largely because maintenance employees are seeking to
have the City negotiate on matters which we believe are management
prerogatives. Attached is the letter of understanding most recently
rejected by the bargaining unit. The handwritten language reflects
the union's position.
CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
July 7, 1989
Page 4
Under state statute, the next step in negotiations is to mediate the
issue with the assistance of a state Bureau of Mediation Services
(BMS) representative. Attached is a notification of mediation
scheduled for July 11 at 1:30 p.m. at BMS offices. We hope to be
able to resolve the disputed issues in this arena.
The Council should be aware that if this effort fails, the City has
the right to implement its position and the union the right to
strike. As a practical matter, this is not an issue over which the
union membership is likely to strike. We will proceed in this
effort to successfully negotiate wages and conditions of employment
for these positions in order that these individuals can be hired as
soon as possible. (I-2)
3. MINUTES
a. Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit, June 28, 1989. (I -3a)
b. Plymouth Safety Committee, June 28, 1989. (I -3b)
4. EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM: Attached is a memorandum from Laurie
Rauenhorst outlining the results of suggestions received by the
Suggestion Committee for the period January 1 through June 30,
1989. (I-4)
5. DEVELOPMENT SIGNAGE -- On Friday, June 30, four development signs
will be placed at the following locations:
1. 5313 Juneau Lane North (Hampton Hills Golf Course) -- Oak Ridge
Homes is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit in
order to expand the Club House. (89049)
2. Northeast corner of Campus Drive and Northwest Boulevard --
Steven Hoyt Company is requesting approval of a Revised Planned
Unit Development Preliminary Plan, Conditional Use Permit and
Final Plan. The Revised PUD Preliminary Plan and Conditional
Use Permit change the approved plan from allowing 3 smaller
buildings to allow 1 larger building. The Final Plan is for a
125,781 sq. ft. office warehouse facility. (89051)
3. 13200 Highway 55 -- Vision of Glory Lutheran Church is
requesting approval of a Revised Site Plan and Conditional Use
Permit in order to change the exterior appearance of the
previously approved building expansion. (89052)
4. 9600 54th Avenue North -- Martin Lehman, Auto Sound, is
requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit in Order to have
retail sales from their facility. (89053)
These requests will be heard by the Planning Commission at their
Wednesday, July 11, 1989 meeting.

6. REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS ON BALSAM LANE AND 50TH AVENUE AT 49TH PLACE
- In accordance with Council direction, radar checks have been
initiated at this location. The checks are not yet completed. I
have contacted Mr. Fields, a petitioner, to indicate that a response
will be provided soon. I expect that the results of the study and
recommendations will be available for the next Council meeting.
7. SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD AND LARCH LANE - Councilmember Zitur has received
calls about the safety of this intersection. The police records
show six moving violations over the last year:

1 - other hazardous violation
1 - improper registration

Lane)
Four property damage accidents have occurred during the same
period. Fred Moore has ordered some signage improvements as noted
in the attached memo to Tom Vetsch. (I-7)
8. OPEN BURNING AT COUNTY ROAD 47 AND PINEVIEW LANE - On July 6 I
received complaints about open burning of trees after sunset at the
above location. Fire Inspector Scofield has advised Mr. Sadowski of
S & A Land Cleaning of a number of conditions the open burning
permit is subject to include:
1. Burning with prevailing wind away from nearby residents.
2. Burning limited between sunrise and sunset.
The permitee was advised that the permit will be automatically
revoked with the next violation of the permit. Attached is a copy
of the permit for information. (I-8)

from Jim Willis to Peter Enck, Chairman of the Bassett Creek

Ms. Maria Vasiliou
City Council Member
City of Plymouth
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, Minnesota 55447
Dear Ms. Vasiliou:
I -."
Enclosed is a copy of our letter to you dated May 22, 1989.
We have not received any type of response from you by letter
or telephone, and are wondering what progress is being made
concerning the pavement of 15th Avenue North.
At this time, we would like to bring a number of other items
to your attention which we feel should be acted upon by you,
or possibly a Community Service Officer, or others from the
City of Plymouth.
First, there are unlicensed vehicles which must be removed.
One is a van located at 10715 15th Avenue North, which has
been there since October, 1988. The other is a van located
at 10725 15th Avenue North, which has also been there since
last fall. They are very unsightly, and legally should be
removed.
There is a pile of old lumber and branches between the above
two properties which has been there since last summer.
Supposedly the owners told the representative sent out by the
City of Plymouth last year that this pile would be burned.
Not one piece has been removed since it was piled there.
At the 10725 15th Avenue North property, there is a small
area of landscaping which includes timbers and large stones.
Unfortunately, among the landscaping there are about twelve
full garbage bags laying in and around this area which have
been there for three months. It looks awful, and there is no
reason why those bags could not be placed with their weekly
garbage to be picked up and hauled away.
Finally, at 10715 15th Avenue North, old furniture and other
debris is consistently placed with their garbage which they
assume will be picked up sometime, but remains there for
weeks on end. Additionally, they have no reasonable looking
receptacle for their garbage, which seems very unhealthy,
smells, and looks awful.
We would appreciate your taking action with regard to all of
the above items. We look forward to hearing from you and
thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Tim and Cindy Harrer

This memo is meant to reinforce your previous instructions that all lights on
athletic fields are to be off at 10:30 p.m. sharp. There are to be no

PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT
JUNE 28, 1989
PRESENT: Dennis Jacobson, Barb Roberts, Nancy Holter, Peggy Galarneault,
Dale Knutson, Paul Buharin, Joe Morley, Frank Boyles
I. APPROVAL OF MAY 24. 1989 MINUTES
The Committee approved the May 24, 1989 minutes as submitted.
II. REVIEW OF APRIL AND MAY RIDERSHIP STATISTICS
The April and May ridership statistics for Plymouth Metrolink were
reviewed. Additional data is required, including the targets and how
the ridership compares with them. It appears that the Commuter/Reverse
Commuter system continues strong.
Joe Morley reviewed ridership statistics for May to date. He stated
that ridership for June, with three days left, is 300 passengers greater
than May. He stated that the average number of passengers per hour is
2.5, with 7.7 miles per trip. The average number of passengers in a
weekday is 65 and weekend, 15. He stated that after 4 p.m. weekdays, an
additional bus could be used to reduce the number of denied trips we are
presently making.
III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS
A. Update on Farecards/Token Policies for Drivers - Paul Buharin stated
that more and more drivers are making fare cards available daily.
He stated that passengers are buying more fare cards than ever, but
now are securing them from the MTC Transit Store and other available
sources.
B. Electronic Message Boards on Buses - Paul recommended that the idea
be dropped since his investigation show there is no source for new
boards and parts. Reliability is also bad. Memos and notes should
continue to be used to provide information to riders.
C. New Schedules - Paul Buharin stated that the new schedules would be
placed on order on June 29, and available before the next meeting.
D. Marketing - The Committee agreed to defer all marketing discussion
on Metrolink until the next meeting, owing to the impending MTC
strike and potential problems it may cause for Metrolink operations.
E. Progress on Park and Ride Lot at Glory of Christ Lutheran Church -
Frank Boyles reported on the progress of negotiations with Glory of
Christ Lutheran Church representatives. He hopes to have a
commitment from them by the next meeting.
F. Use of Shelard Through Holiday Inn on Highway 12 - Committee members
indicated that this is only used in a minority of the cases and that
when it is used, this is a safe access.
MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT

G. Safety in the Park and Ride Lot - Frank Boyles shared a letter to
Carl Hofstadt and report from Police Officer Buske about the Park
and Ride lot. The City is seeking Minnesota Department of
Transportation support in evaluating what might be done to improve
congestion and safety in the lot, particularly during the evening.
Frank will contact the City's Engineering Division to see whether
they have other recommendations which should be considered.
H. Report on Third Avenue Distributor System - Paul Buharin asked that
this item be deferred until the next meeting.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREA CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
Once again, newer drivers are leaving three or four persons standing at
Quaker Lane. The drivers are apparently ignoring their route copy. The
transfer at the Park and Ride lot is becoming sloppy occasionally.
Drivers should be reinformed of the importance of the sequencinq of the
transfer.
V. OTHER BUSINESS
A. The Committee discussed the potential impact of an MTC strike on
Metrolink operation. There is no question that additional capacity
will be required as MTC passengers will seek to use Metrolink during
the strike period. A note is being prepared for distribution to all
riders indicating that the strike will not affect Metrolink
operation. Consideration is being given to using the Janssen's
and/or Rainbow parking lot if additional capacity is required.
Drivers are being advised that if they experience problems as a
result of the strike, that they should immediately contact dispatch,
who will contact 9-1-1.
B. Frank Boyles advised the Committee that requests for proposals are
being solicited for Plymouth Metrolink service effective January 1,
1990. He indicated that this has nothing to do with the current
provider, but that it is appropriate for the City to determine
comparative costs for the service after six years with the same
provider.
C. Frank Boyles stated that at least one Councilmember has some
concerns about Dial -A -Ride operation and Joe Morley will be
addressing the City Council on July 10 to discuss this issue.
The meeting adjourned at 8:13 p.m.
The next PACT meeting is scheduled for July 26 at 7 p.m. in the Plymouth
City Center.

I. OLD BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF MAY 31, 1989 MEETING MINUTES
The Committee approved the May 31, 1989 meeting minutes.
B. REPORT ON SAFETY ACTIVITIES
1. Fire Station III Fitness Facilities -- An addendum has been
issued to the request for proposals for exercise equipment for
Fire Station III. The addendum addresses such issues as product
liability, insurance, training, equipment maintenance, etc.
Quotes have been received, but no responses have yet been
received on the addendum. Stan will contact Frank Boyles once
responses have been received so that the original committee
which reviewed the exercise equipment needs can meet to evaluate
the proposals.
2. Seat belt/harness system for fire engines -- Jim Kolstad has
investigated at least three vendors for supplying and installing
seat belt/harness systems for fire engines 1, 8 and 10. After
an initial inquiry, each of the companies has elected not to
proceed with this project, presumably on the basis of product
liability concerns.
In light of the fact that the state statute requires use of seat
belts by drivers and passengers, as does city and department
policy, and since we have exhausted other options for the
installation of such equipment, it now appears appropriate to
consider installation by the equipment maintenance center.
Frank Boyles will communicate with Jim Kolstad, asking that he
and his people work closely with the Fire Department to
accomplish the installation.
Stan Scofield suggested that the belts be retractable and
located in a readily accessible area. Taud Hoopingarner
suggested that they be a different color than the other straps
used for the Scott airpacks in order that differentiation can be
readily made.

3. Maintenance Equipment Storage Master Planning -- Frank Boyles
reported that the maintenance and storage facility planning
project is on schedule. Fred Moore has reported that he
received the materials required in I, Step 3, and is in the
process of editing, reviewing and finalizing written needs. The
next step is for Jim Kolstad, Mark Peterson and the first line
supervisors to review the past ten year budget experience in
both maintenance costs and manpower to summarize that
experience. They will also be responsible for projecting
anticipated service additions, park additions, infrastructural
additions which would affect the number and type of equipment
and personnel likely to be housed in the city storage facilities
over the next ten years. Comprehensive Plan and Capital
Improvement Program project requirements will be factored into
these projections. The due date is June 30 for these two steps.
4. Sight obstruction at 19th Avenue and Ithaca Lane -- Frank Boyles
reported that the owner of the property on 19th and Ithaca has
received three notifications that the vegetation poses a sight
obstruction. While some trimming has been done, it is not
sufficient to alleviate the problem. Ms. Wicklacz will arrange
for the City Forester to remove the bushes and charge associated
costs against the property owner. A final report will be
provided once this work is accomplished.
5. Fire Extinguisher Policy -- Frank Boyles reviewed a memorandum
from Taud Hoopingarner which sets for the responsible parties
for conducting monthly fire extinguisher inspections. Taud is
also in the process of arranging for the annual hydrostatic
testing and recharging of extinguishers. Notice will be given
to the affected departments prior to the contractor visiting
city sites to assure that all extinguishers are included.
Before leaving city employment on July 14, Taud Hoopingarner
will arrange for the annual recharge and inspection.
6. Safety Training for Temporary Maintenance Employees -- Taud
Hoopingarner reported that he and Mark Peterson had completed
training of the temporary maintenance employees, especially with
respect to general safety issues, accident reporting, equipment
usage, etc., and "Employee Right to Know" responsibilities. As
part of this training program, the training packet has been
updated and shared with the City Council.
II. NEW BUSINESS
A. Consent Agenda -- The consent agenda contained one vehicular
accident which the committee viewed as preventable. Correspondence
will be submitted to the affected supervisor.

PLYMOUTH SAFETY COMMITTEE

B. Review of Vehicular Accidents -- The committee reviewed two
vehicular accidents involving city employees. One accident was
viewed as nonpreventable, while the other accident was classified
preventable. Appropriate correspondence will be submitted to the
affected supervisors.
C. Revisions of Accident Reporting Procedures -- Taud Hoopingarner
reviewed the revised accident reporting procedures. The primary
change is the substitution of an accident information form for the
old Accord accident forms supplied by the insurance company. The
accident information form is more straight forward and provides for
better graphics for completion. Procedures have been revised
accordingly. Taud stated that prior to leaving the City he would be
conducting training sessions with city employees covering both
"Employee Right to Know" responsibilities and accident reporting
procedures. Dave Volker suggested some revisions in the workers
compensation reporting portion of the accident reporting procedure
policy.- These revisions will be incorporated into the policy for
inclusion in the training program.
D. Community Center Update -- Frank Boyles stated that the Council is
still wrestling with the issue of operating costs for the community
center. A special meeting is to be held on July 10 to discuss this
issue. If the Council elects to move forward with the community
center project, at some point those responsible for risk management
would review the specifications in hopes of ensuring that the new
facility will not represent unusual hazards from an employee safety
or risk management perspective.
E. Other Business -- Dave Volker suggested that the accident reporting
sequence, as contained in the accident report envelope, assure that
individuals protect the scene prior to rendering first aid to assure
that those rendering first aid are not also injured. A
recommendation was also made that a similar envelope for city
employees for use in their personal vehicles be provided.
Taud Hoopingarner reviewed a memorandum that he had (liven to Mark
Peterson with respect to utilization of trailers for a display
sign. Committee members questioned why the existing legal trailers
were not used rather than the oversize trailer. Joel Franz
indicated that if the oversize trailer is to be used, then the city
will be required to secure a permit from each agency whose roadway
the trailer will be used upon. Mark Peterson will be responsible
for securing the permit.
John Ward suggested that city employees be reminded that it is
illegal to wear headphones while operating city equipment. Hearing
protectors are not prohibited. A memorandum will be circulated on
this subject.

SUBJECT 1989 EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM, 1/1/89 - 6/30/89
Seven suggestions were received from employees for the period January 1
through June 30, 1989. Of these, one was accepted, four were rejected,
and two are scheduled for consideration by the Suggestion Committee.
The Suggestions were:
I. That the City change vendors for purchase of street salt. This
suggestion was rejected. There are companies that offer salt at a
lower price at certain times of the year, but have a limited
supply. The City is using a bid system to procure a guaranteed
quantity of salt at the lowest price.
2. To keep coffee in employee lunchroom rather than in Finance
Department for ease in use. This suggestion was rejected as there
must be a central department responsible to monitor supply and
reorder.
3. To reduce the number of Plymouth on Parades ordered from the
printer because extras are thrown away after each mailing due to
unoccupied dwellings. It makes sense to "short" each carrier route
a certain percentage to account for unoccupied homes, however, we
can only cut back a small amount to ensure that each home receives
an issue. We cut back the number printed for the March -April issue
resulting in a savings of $142 for printing and postage. This
amount is monitored each mailing and the next order adjusted. The
employee making the suggestion will receive one-half the amount
saved for the first year. Awards: $71, $83, $83
4. That the City install a wire glass window between the Public Safety
Department and lunchroom to provide observation when approaching the
door for safety reasons. This suggestion was rejected as any
possible employee safety hazard does not warrant the reduction in
security. Security was the foremost consideration in design of the
door and remains so today.
5. To centralize U.P.S. pickup through one City department. This
suggestion is under consideration.
6. To install surge protectors on computer equipment. This suggestion
is under consideration.
z -q
7. That computer -run mailing labels for large mailings (i.e. recyling
changes, sprinkling restriction notifications, town meetings)
Include the resident's name as well as the words "or occupant" to
ensure delivery to each residence and avoid mail being returned to
the City. This suggestion is under consideration.

SUBJECT: LARCH LANE AND SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD
Recently, there have been four accidents at the intersection of Schmidt
Lake Road and Larch Lane. These accidents were caused by a vehicle
traveling westbound and not stopping for the stop sign at Larch Lane.
In order to provide more notice to the motorists, please install the
following for westbound traffic at Schmidt Lake Road on Larch Lane:
1. Replace the existing stop sign with a 36 inch by 36 inch
high intensity stop sign.
2. Install a "Stop Ahead" approximately 300 feet in advance
of the intersection. Also, install a temporary red flag
on this sign.
3. Install a battery operated red flasher on the stop sign.
We will have to schedule this for routine checking in
order that we can replace the batteries when necessary.
I am requesting that this work be done as soon as possible. Please let
me know if there are any questions.

BASSETT CREEK WATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION T-9
June 15, 1989
1990 BUDGET AND LEVY
The Joint and Cooperative Agreement establishing the Bassett
Creek Water Management Commission sets forththe procedures
required to adopt the annual budget. Article VIII, .
Subdivision 3, provides that each member agrees to contribute
each year to a general fund to be used for administrative
purposes and certain operational purposes. The annual
contribution of each member is based 50% on assessed
valuation of property within the watershed and 50% on the
ratio of area of each member within the watershed to the
total area of the Bassett Creek: watershed. The Commission is
limited to a total assessment of one-half of a mill on each
dollar of assessed valuation within the watershed.
Article VIII, Subdivision 5,..provides, "On or before July 1
of each year, the Hoard shall adopt a detailed budget for the
ensuing year and decide upon the total amount necessary for
the general fund." Budget approval requires a two-thirds vote
(six Commissioners). Also, the Secretary "shall certify the
budget on or before July.l to the clerk: of each member
governmental unit together with a statement of the proportion
of the budget to be provided by each member." The nine
members have until August 1 to object to the budget.
The budget, as reported herein, was prepared by a Budget
Committee chaired by Edward Silberman, Commission Treasurer,
Peter Enck:, Commission Chairman, and Don Rye, Commission
Secretary. A representative of Barr Engineering Company
advised the Commision on engineering related matters.
The 1990 budget has increased over that for 1989, largely
because increased funds need to be provided for assessing
property whose costs will eventually be included in the flood
control project and which will be credited to the local
contribution to the project. Referring to specific items in
the budget, which is attached:
1) Engineering services will require $116,500, somewhat
less than the previous year, and are grouped into eight
categories as follows:
a. $30,000 are provided for administration word;
which involves community referred problems,
conferences, project reviews, etc.
b...Engi.neer attendance at Commission meetings is
budgeted at $4,000.
c. Surveys and Studies of changes in managed lands
and waters ordered by the Commission have been
budgeted at $20,000, twice last year's amount, to
enable the Commission to digitize much of its data
for application to maps.
d. In accordance with a 5 -year plan previously
adopted, the Water Quality budget has been
decreased to $25,000.
e. The Water Quantity budget is maintained at
$6.000.
1
n4-wiiL, duuycL ".-vy
f. Cost of supporting our contacts with the Corps 1-9
of Engineers on the flood control project
construction, Phase IV, are maintained at $25,000.
g. The Management Flan should be completed in the
current fiscal year; no funds are provided for
1990.
h. $6,500 is again provided for engineer follow up
on recommendations to the communities.
2) Legal services are expected to remain at $0,000.
3) Auditing and bonding costs are estimated to increase
to $800.
4) $3,600 are provided for secratarial services.
5) Postage, copying and related expenses are again
budgeted at $2,00o.
6) Travel may be required to Washington, D.C. in
connection with obtaining credit for easments required
for the flood control project; $3,000 is provided.
7) No brochure is contemplated during the 1990 fiscal
year.
8) Permit and easement work: will not be separately
budgeted for 1990; but see the following item.
9) Credit application work: refers to our costs in
getting appraisals for the purchase, easements and
right-of-way that the communities provide to the Corps
of Engineers for the flood control project construction.
This has become a large item in the budget in the amount
of $40.000 and was referred to in the introductory
statement.
10) A contingency amount of $10.000 is again provided.
The total budget for the 1990 fiscal year was thus proposed
at $205,900. This budget was adopted unanimously by the
Commission at its meeting on May 18, 1989.
The Commission estimates funds available in its general fund
at the end of the current fiscal year as approximately
$196,880. At its meeting on May 18, 1989, the Commission
voted unanimously to apply $45.900 of this to the 1990 budget
and to levy $160,000 additionally to provide the budgeted
amount of $205,900. The detailed breakdown of the levy for
1990 by communities is also attached.

RE: $50 deductible for windshield on automobile.
On June 17th while attending my son's soccer game which was part of the
Wayzata Tournament at Oakview, my car windshield was broken by a soccer
ball. My car was in a legally parked space in the parking lot. My
insurance has taken care of all but the 950 deductible. I wish the
liability to be determined for the 950 and a check mailed to me. I
also suggest that nets such as seen on the golf course be erected
behind goals that are so close to a parking lot.
Brian Markham, 1901 Dearhill Drive, Wayzata 55391, 476-1733 was witness
to the soccer ball cracking my windshield. Enclosed is a copy of the
receipt.

SUBJECT NOTICE OF CLAIM - STILLER
Today I received a Notice of Claim from:
Rosemary Stiller
801 SW 7th Street
Little Falls, MN 56341
Phone 632-9377
On the afternoon of June 24 she was driving in the cul-de-sac in front
of 4840 Juneau Lane. She stated that there was debris around a manhole
and she hit it, partially moving the manhole cover. Steven and Nancy
Callahan (Phone 559-2758) assisted her in getting her car removed and
getting the cover back on. There is new development here and she said a
backhoe had to come to assist her. She indicated that she would send a
letter outlining the incident which I will forward to you.
She has recently had her tires balanced and following this incident her
car shakes and pulls to the right. She is taking her car in to be
checked and believes the rim and tire may be ruined.
Bobbi, I indicated that I would forward her claim to you and that you or
the insurance carrier would be in contact with her.
t Fred, would you please have someone check this area immediately? Mr.
Callahan stated that approximately five cars per day are hitting this
(whatever it is), and there are no cones or flairs marking the area.
Both Callahan and Stiller warned me of the hazard and the possibility of
a child falling into the hole or a bicycler hitting it.

TO: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works
FROM: 'Daniel L. Faulkner, City Engineer
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF CLAIM - STILLER
With reference to the June 26th memo from Laurie Rauenhorst regarding this
claim, I have inspected the manhole in the cul-de-sac near 4840 Juneau Lane.
The Project Superintendent, Mike, with Hans Hagen Homes and I both verified
that the manhole casting has actually been moved leaving a gap that presented
a dangerous situation. I informed him that the manhole casting needed to be
moved back to it's original location immediately and that the manhole needed
to be marked with barricades. He indicated that this work could be done this
afternoon. I will verify that the work has been done later today.
In addition, the City should not be held responsible for damage to anyone's
vehicle. It is totally up to the developer to erect and maintain any and all
barricades and signs necessary to protect the public. In this particular
case, there are two houses being occupied in the immediate vicinity of the
raised manhole and no barricades or signs were on-site when I visited the
site.

Stiller. It is the developers responsibility to maintain and properly mark
the road ways under construction. Our City Engineer spoke with the project

I would appreciate it if you would respond to Mrs. Stiller's request in a

SUBJECT: YOUR APPEAL OF THE CITY'S DETERMINATION TO REQUEST PROPOSALS FOR
PLYMOUTH AND MAPLE GROVE TRANSIT SERVICES
Dear Messrs. Johnson:
I am in receipt of your June 30, 1989 letter which appeals the City's
decision to prepare request for proposals for Plymouth Metrolink and
Medicine Lake Lines services provided within Plymouth and Maple Grove.
As I indicated in my June 23, 1989 letter, the reason for preparing requests
for proposal is:
1. This action is consistent with the legislative intent for creating
the Regional Transit Board. It is also consistent with the Board's
objectives.
2. Through competitive proposals we can determine the appropriate price
for the delivery of transit services to Plymouth and Maple Grove.
Medicine Lake Lines has supplied this service for numerous years. I
am not aware of the service having ever been bid. Consequently,
there has never been an opportunity to determine what other vendors
might charge to provide the service. This action is in the best
interest of the city taxpayers to assure that their property tax
dollars are prudently used to deliver the best possible service.
3. From the request for proposals we hope to solicit new ideas and
recommendations for transit service in Plymouth and Maple Grove.
4® Maple Grove's participation in the request for proposal presents an
opportunity to consolidate providers between the two communities and
potentially enhance commuter and reverse commuter service, as well
as inter and intrasuburban services.

5. I should note that this action is consistent with the objectives of
the Alliance for Progressive Transit organization which you recently
created with the help of an $80,000 federal grant to promote
competition in transit.
We will continue to prepare requests for proposal on this subject unless we
are advised otherwise by the Regional Transit Board or Metropolitan
Council. We anticipate that service contemplated under the request for
proposal would begin January 1, 1990. Since we have discussed this issue,
most recently on May 24, 1989, I see no reason for us to meet to discuss the
matter further. It is clear that our positions are at impass. Therefore,
it is appropriate for a third party to hear the matter and render a decision
in a timely fashion so that transit riders are not affected -- regardless of
the outcome.

We are in receipt of your letter dated June 23, 1989, in which you
advised us that the City of Plymouth will be formally discontinuing
Plymouth Metrolink's services and all Medicine Lake Lines services
within the City of Plymouth effective at 12 o'clock midnight on
December 31, 1989. You have also stated in your letter that the
purpose of this discontinuation is to allow the City of Plymouth to
prepare and solicit requests for proposals from public transit
vendors to provide this service for the next three years.
As we advised you during our May 25, 1989 meeting, we believe that
Medicine Lake Bus Company has the exclusive right to operate the
transit service presently provided within the City of Plymouth
pursuant to its certificate of public convenience and necessity (File
Number 420) which it acquired on January 6, 1950, and which remains
in effect. Accordingly, it is our position that the City of Plymouth
does not have the authority to solicit requests for proposals so long
as the certificate of public convenience and necessity held by
Medicine Lake Bus Company remains in effect. In the interest of
serving the citizens of the Citv of Plymouth, Medicine Lake Bus
Company iG willing to consent to the transfer to the City of Plymouth
of that portion of its certificate of public convenience and
necessity relating to the City of Plymouth transit service, if
Medicine Lake Bus Company is justly compensated for its rights
arising from and associated with that certificate.

SUBJECT: BOGUS MINNESOTA ID CARDS
Dear Sir:
We recently arrested a juvenile who had in his possession an illegal Minnesota ID
card. The ID card itself was authentic on its face; but, the name and birthdate
did not belong to the person identified by the picture on the ID.
The 17 -year-old subject that we arrested with this card indicated that he had
purchased a birth certificate from another person. Armed with this certificate,
he paid the normal fee and applied and received a Minnesota picture ID card.
We have since followed up on information supplied by the juvenile and have served
a search warrant on the suspect who issued the false birth certificate. It now
appears that there could easily be over 100 minors and juveniles who have fraudu-
lently obtained Minnesota picture ID cards in this manner.
The suspect we arrested was supporting his lifestyle by selling the birth
certificates for $50 each. The areas that the suspect frequented were New Hope,
Brooklyn Park, and most recently Eden Prairie.
The reason for notifying you of these bogus ID cards is to advise you to use
extra caution when you sense someone may be under the age of 21. You may wish to
Instruct your employees to ask for additional identification and copy down
license plate numbers when applicable. When all else fails, use common sense!
Please notify our department by calling 9-1-1 when you have any circumstances
that involve an attempt to purchase by a suspected minor. Thank you for your
time and consideration in this matter.

Richard J. Carlquist

RE: PERMIT 4689-6137, SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD, UNNAMED WETLAND 27-579W,
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
Dear Mr. Moore:
Enclosed is your permit, 4689-6137, which authorizes construction of
Schmidt Lake Road through unnamed wetland 27-579W. The City,
through its consulting engineer, Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc., has
demonstrated that a public need exists for the road and that there
are no feasible or practical alternatives to avoid wetland impacts.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Rules,
Part 6115.0190, Subpart 3, item F, the prohibition of filling to
create roads across protected waters is hereby waived.
The permit contains several attachments which pertain to the
mitigation requirements for the filling. These attachments were
also coordinated with the City's consultant but have been modified
slightly by Provision 3 of Attachment A to require a 75 -foot buffer
strip area between the road embankment and excavated mitigation
areas.
Thank you for your cooperation through the Department's permit
process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
Regional Hydrologist John Linc Stine at 296-7523.

Dear Mr. Scofield:
This letter is to express our thanks and appreciation
to you and your associate, Kevin Lauer, for conducting a
recent fire alarm test and meeting at Sagamore Seven for
the attending residents.
Your test and meeting served a two -fold purpose:
1. The test showed our residents a need to install
a fire alarm horn in each condo of our building
due to the low decibel reading which was recorded
in each unit.
2. You also reviewed, during our meeting, precautions
and steps that our residents should take and
follow in case of fire in our building.
We have directed our resident manager to obtain bids so
that we may start the installation of an alarm horn in each unit
in the near future. (Alarms approved by the PFD)
Sincerely yours,
Bill Sheets, President

Mr. Daniel C. Cherry, 15720 - 7th Avenue North, home phone - 473-3901, work
phone - 475-3400, telephoned Bob Zitur asking for his advice. Mr. Cherry is
considering purchasing a home located at County Road 101 and County Road
24. It is not his intention to live in the house, but instead, to open it
as an insurance agency.
As I understand, he has talked to both Councilmember Zitur and you
preliminarily on this subject. I believe it would be useful for you to
briefly meet with Mr. Cherry to tell him the steps he must go through and
materials which must be submitted to initiate the application process. You
may also wish to give him your assessment of the likelihood of success.
Once you have arranged to meet with Mr. Cherry, I would appreciate it if you
would share the results with me.

Thank you for your letter to the City Council. I am pleased to inform you
that we have requested the power company to install a street light at the
intersection of Nathan Lane and 45th Avenue. It will likely take several
weeks to have this light installed because of the necessity to extend the
necessary power and transformer to that location.
Your also requested a light at the intersection of Revere Lane and Trenton

costs would have to be paid for by your homeowners association. If the
association wishes to have such a light installed, and pay for it, we would
be pleased to order the installation.
Thank you for your letter.

SUBJECT: INCIDENCES INVOLVING YOUR TWO DOGS
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Allan:
This letter confirms your July 5, 1989 telephone conversation with Frank
Boyles on this subject.
The Public Safety Department has provided me with two reports involving your
dogs running at large. In the first instance, on May 15, your two dogs were
Involved in killing two pet ducks at another household. The owner of the
ducks followed the dogs back to your address and you confirmed that the dogs
were yours. In the second case, on July 2, your dogs were again running at
large and were taken into custody by the City. In both incidences, your
dogs displayed aggressive behavior, although they did not actually bite the
individuals involved.
Plymouth City Code Section 915.01, Subdivision 6, states that "dangerous
animal" means any animal which has attacked, molested, bitten, confined or
assulted a person or domestic animal, or which otherwise has demonstrated
that it poses a significant risk of causing harm or injury to persons or
domestic animals."
This letter is to advise you that if a future incident occurs involving your
dogs running at large, I will conduct a hearing to determine whether the
animals are dangerous. If the dogs are found to be dangerous, they will be
ordered destroyed.
I hope that you will assure that your dogs neither run at large, nor
threaten persons or other domestic animals in the future.

Plymouth should put
`Taj Mahal' on hold
Plymouth is planning to build a $12 million community
center — a 120,000-square-foot facility with a leisure
pool, ice arena, gymnasium, fitness spaces, senior
center, and community meeting rooms.
This is the second time the city has proposed a
community center. Residents soundly defeated a bond
referendum in 1984 to build an $8 million community
center. The margin waM, 33 to
This time, construction funds are coming from
interest earned and saved from public-improvement
bonds sold by the city and squirreled away in the public-
improvement revolving fund.
There seems to be a trend among communities lately
to build community centers to invoke the neighborly
camaraderie of Yes=yam.
When Plymouth City Manager Jim Willis presented
the timetable and initial plans for a community center
to the City Council last November, he commented that
"A community center cannot be all things to all people;
rather, it should focus more narrowly on the issue of a
community meeting/gathering place where individuals,
family and friends may come together and enjoy some
of their leisure pursuits."
Unfortunately, people no longer gather at the old town
square to gossip, to argue politics at the town hall on
voting day, or to renew friendships at the Saturday night
barn dance. Today, we are independent, and prefer to
take what money is left over after the government gets
its hunk and pay for our own leisure activities.
But the city of Plymouth is telling residents that they
need a community center. Whether they want a center
is irrelevant. "It's good for you, and you will have it,"
the city says. The city plans to charge annual
membership fees to residents and non-residents who use
it. What's more, property-tax payers will probably have
to subsidize its operation by as much as $180,000 a year;
if the center doesn't attract fee-paying patrons, the cost
could be higher.
Spinach may be good for you, but when you get to be
a big grown-up taxpayer, you don't have to eat it any
more. The Plymouth community center is meeting
resistance from residents who seem to be saying they
don't want something they didn't order. And they
certainly don't want to pay for it.
To a sizable chunk of Plymouth residents, the
community center is beginning to symbolize "Big
Brother" government at its worst. Residents are being
ignored in the process, even though they turn out at
public meetings to express their concerns. "Let us vote
on it," they demand. "Sorry, you can't do that," they
are told.
The community center is the subject of scorn from
many residents who call it the "Plymouth Taj Mahal"
or the "Plymouth Dome."
With such a negative community reaction, Plymouth's
proposed community center will not draw residents
together in a spirit of fellowship. The city
should table the project until residents want it.

RE: Water and Sewer Billings
Dear Mr. Garvey:
Councilmember Jerry Sisk has asked me to look into your billings for water and
sewer service. According to the City's records, the outside water meter dial
for your residence was not recording properly for an unknown period of time.
During this time, 233,600 gallons of water had gone through the water meter
within your home, but had not properly recorded to the outside remote reader.
As a result, you are being billed for back usage of this volume at .75 per
1,000 gallons or $175.20. The City is not billing you for sewer charges for
this volume of water which very likely went into the City sewer system. The
rate for sewer usage is $1.46 per 1,000 which would have increased your bill
by an additional $341.06.
In speaking with Daryl Sulander and Colleen Ledin, within my department, their
records indicate a test meter was installed to check the accuracy of your
current meter. The test results prove that you meter read slightly less than
the test meter which would be giving you a minor break in your bill.
The City's records show that your meter was repaired in November and that
accurate consumption amounts were recorded during the winter quarter. During
the winter quarter your volume was still averaging 24,867 gallons per month.
Because we know this volume of water also went into the City sewer, we will be
billing you for 24,867 gallons of sewer usage for April, May and June. I
understand this large volume of water during the winter quarter was a direct
result of a problem with your furnace humidifier.
Current readings have been taken at your residence which indicate your present
monthly volume is at 13,300 gallons. Starting with the July billing which you
will receive in August, your sewer charge will be based on the 13,300 gallons,
which will reduce your bill by $16.89 per month.
While I still believe 13,300 gallons per month is slightly higher than the
average consumption for residents within Plymouth, it is possible that you
could be using this volume of water. However, I would suggest that you please
do further analysis to isolate this consumption volume. For a period of time
when you know no one is going to be using any water, take your reading on the
water meter within your basement. Two to four hours later again take a
reading after the period which you believe no water should have been consumed,
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800
z'(n- ,
and determine that this meter has not changed. If it has changed, you still
have some internal water leakage within your system.
I am sorry for the inconvenience of having to pay for the make up of the water
volume which was not properly recording on the outside remote, but the City is
not billing for the sewer usage on this volume which is almost twice as much
as the water charge. I have also checked to make sure that no penalties are
charged to your account until this entire make up billing has been fully paid.
If you would like to discuss this further with me, please call me at 559-2800,
extension 279.

Dear Blair:

JUN 14 1989
As we discussed on the telephone last week, I would appreciate
your advising the City Council and City Staff on the recent
decision by the Board of Directors of our holding company
concerning Towne Centre at Parkers Lake. As you know, the City
of Plymouth approved our Towne Centre development on November 7,
1988. On December 15, 1988, we received approval by our opera-
ting company --United Properties Development Company --for the
development. On May 23, 1989, the first regularly scheduled
Board of Directors meeting this year of our holding company --The
Northland Company --the Board rejected our recommendation to
commence construction and requested that we delay construction
commencement for the project. Needless to say, we were surprised
and disappointed with the Board's action.
Our option to purchase the land from the City of Minneapolis
remains in effect. We will probably put the project on the
Board's agenda next spring.
I wanted to thank you and the entire professional staff of the
City for your help with and support of the development. We think
it will be a fine addition to our Parkers Lake development.
Lastly, I also wanted to thank the Planning Commission and City
Council for their support of the development. We hope that next
spring we will be able to move it ahead.
