(I-9) 10. CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION - DISTRIBUTION OF $5,000,000 FRANCHISE TRANSFER REVENUES - Mayor Schneider indicated last Monday that the Cable Commission had received $5,000,000 pursuant to the terms of the transfer of ownership of the cable franchise from Suburban Cablevision to King Cablevision. The Commission's Negotiating Committee recommended a distribution of the funds to the full Commission. The Commission met Wednesday and adopted the committee's recommendations. Those recommendations include the following key items: I. Paying off the existing mortgage on the Commission's office/broadcast facilities in Brooklyn Park (approximately $800,000). 2. After expenses distributing the remaining funds equally between the Commission on the one hand and the nine member cities. The cities will share approximately $2,087,000, based upon their proportion of the total number of CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM August 11, 1989 Page 3 subscribers as of the end of May. Based upon this distri- bution formula, I expect that Plymouth will receive approxi- mately $418,000. The Commission has recommended that the cities use these funds to further cable service, although they recognize that the individual cities will elect their own uses. 10. CITY CENTER TELEPHONE SYSTEM - Since the experiment with our voice messaging system was terminated, and based upon some of the things we have learned through that process, we have undertaken an investi- gation and evaluation of our current system, as well as our project- ed telecommunications needs. We have had meetings with various consultants and/or vendors during the past several months with an eye toward seeking to develop specifications for a new system. A new system will involve technology which has been developed since our equipment was originally acquired in 1978. It will likely involve either our acquiring a new telephone switch or selecting to enter into a longer term arrangement with a telephone vendor for a system similar to the Centron System of U.S. West. In any event, I anticipate the system will involve a "direct -in dialing" capacity which will provide the public an opportunity to dial directly to the department and/or individual they are seeking, rather than to have to go through the switchboard. It also will incorporate a voicemail system, but one which will be much more "user friendly" than that which we experimented with earlier this year. I expect we will have proposals evaluated and bids solicited within the next month for one or more service options. 11. DEVELOPMENT SIGNS -- On Friday, August 11, two development signs will be placed at the following locations: 1) Northeast corner of Highway 55 and South Shore Drive -- Pump and Meter Company is proposing a site plan and conditional use permit amendment for the relocation of the diesel fuel pumping island at the Amoco Service Station (89040). 2) Southeast corner of Plymouth Boulevard and 37th Avenue North -- The City of Plymouth is requesting approval of an amended Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan, Preliminary Plat, Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit, Final Plan and Final Plat. The revised PUD Preliminary Plan is to replace the theme center site with the community center and public library. The Preliminary Plat is for the creation of four lots. The rezoning is from FRD (future restricted development) to B-1 (office limited business) and B-2 (shopping center business) District. The Conditional Use Permit is for the Planned Unit Development. The Final Plan is for the creation of four lots. The Final Plan is the Site Plan for the community center. (89063) Both requests will be heard by the Planning Commission at their Wednesday, August 23 meeting. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM August 11, 1989 Page 4 12. CORRESPONDENCE: a.

RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, PRODUCTIVITY, EFFICIENCY, BALANCE AND COMMUNICATIONS These six concepts should guide each department in their day-to-day activities toward accomplishing departmental and city objectives. II. PUBLIC SAFETY The City Council believes that the protection of the public health, welfare and safety is of primary importance. Accordingly, the following goals are established: 1. Drug Awareness Education Efforts. Establish and support the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program effective January 1990. This program is to be conducted in elementary schools within the community on an invitation basis insofar as our resources permit. During 1990 the program is anticipated to be offered at four elemen- tary schools. 2. Fire Station I. The Council has retained the architectural firm of Trossen-Wright to undertake a study to determine the City's needs with respect to Fire Station I. Once this report has been received and reviewed by the Council, a decision will be made to either remodel and expand Fire Station I, or demolish it and construct a new one. 3. Public Safety Personnel. The City Council shall continue to give high priority to personnel requests for police officers in the Public Safety Department. The Council is sensitive to the personnel implications associated with the continued development and matura- tion of the community. It is recognized that this process will change resident service expectations to include protective inspec- tion. 4. Police Accreditation Program. The Council has directed the City Manager to.proceed with the Police Accreditation Program on a timely basis. It projected that the accreditation program will be completed prior to the end of 1991. 5. Police Reserve Program. This program is beginning to demonstrate great potential. Additional reservists need to be recruited and trained so as to develop a cadre of persons available to serve the community in a variety of volunteer capacities. III. WATER SYSTEM The continuous availability of safe, potable water is essential to the development of the community and for public health and safety purposes. Accordingly, the Council establishes the following objectives. 1990 CITY CODICIL BUDGET PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES Page two Z 1. Production of Water - Ensure that future well construction is completed before supply difficulties arise. Consider the acceler- ation of the development of Wells 13 and 14 from 1991 and 1993 to 1990 and 1992 as part of the 1990-199r Capital Improvement Program review this fall. 2. Water Towers and Water Distribution System. Ensure the timely completion of water trunk mains as contemplated in the current construction season, as well as the five-year capital improvement program. The Council has awarded a contract for a new 3 million gallon reservoir which is to be completed and in service by December 1990. IV. STREETS AND UTILITIES The conveyance of people, public safety vehicles and products throughout the community is essential for community development and safety. The City Council promotes the following objectives in this regard: I. Infrastruction Replacement. The City commenced the infrastructure replacement program in 1989. This program shall continue on an annual basis in accordance with the previously approved Short - Elliot -Hendrickson (SEH) study. The Council will review the 1990 program as part of its review of the 1990-1994 CIP. The City Council's Special Assessment Committee is to make specific recommen- dations regarding financing of the 1990 program prior to March, 31, 1990. 2. Infrastructure Reserve Fund. Place continuing emphasis upon build- ing the funding necessary for infrastructure maintenance and replacement through annual levy. 3. Snowplowing. Consider as part of the annual budget review the possibility of converting one or more private snowplowing routes to city crew responsibility to enhance service quality. Also evaluate: 1) methods to improve cul-de-sac plowing; 2) appropriateness of shifting routes between contractor and city crews; and 3) expanding the sidewalk/trail snowplowing program. 4. Capital Improvement Program. To effectively meet the City's growing population, it is imperative that the City's annual Capital Improve- ment Program (CIP) be executed in a timely fashion. The Council shall be committed to undertaking approved capital improvement projects in a timely fashion, and thereafter, the City staff shall work to ensure that the projects are promptly undertaken and completed in accordance with time schedules reviewed and approved by the Council. 1990 CITY COUNCIL BUDGET PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES Page three V. ENVIRONMENTAL The development of the community should not take place at the expense of the environment and the natural amenities of the community. The follow- ing objectives must be pursued: 1. Solid Waste Recycling. The voluntary solid waste recycling program must continue and expand through 1990. The monthly recycling tonnage goal should average 721 tons (8,658 tons annually) in 1990, representing achievement of a 16 percent reduction in solid wastes going to landfills. In 1990 the residential recycling goal shall be 2,191 tons. The City must continue to maximize its participation in the Hennepin County recycling program, particularly working to ensure that we meet or exceed residential recycling goals. 2. Environmental Development Standards. The City is to consistently and aggressively enforce environmental standards for development, including erosion control, approved grading plans, landscaping, EIS and EAW criteria, and traffic analysis on a continuing basis. 3. Wetlands, Ponds and Lakes. Plymouth's storm drainage plan reorganize the environmental value of wetlands, ponds and lakes, and the need to preserve them. These natural and/or manmade features assist in reducing urban water run-off rates, filter and trap sediments and nutrients which are detrimental to water quality, provide habitat to wildlife and aesthetically enhance the urban landscape. They are resources which must not only be preserved, but maintained. The Council intends to develop and fund programs in 1990 to: a. Remove silt from water bodies serving as direct receivers of street and storm drainage. b. Control of Purple Loosestrife, Eurasian Water Milfoil and other nuisance vegetation associated with water bodies over which the City assumes moisture authority/responsibility. VI. PARK FACILITIES The City's park facilities are an important community resource and the recreation program assists in improving the quality of living in Plymouth. The Council establishes the following objectives with respect to each: I. Development of New Facilities. Development of new park facilities shall continue to respond to the needs for those facilities and the capacity of the community to pay for such facilities. Such develop- ment must not be at the expense of existing programs and/or mainten- ance of existing facilities. Evaluate necessity of park maintenance/storage facility for long-term needs. Provide infor- mation on both of the above topics to the City Council prior to budget cycle. 1990 CITY COUNCIL BUDGET PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES Page four 2. Plan and Initiate a Long Range Trail Overlay/Seal Coating Program. It is deemed important to provide adequate funds to promote and extend the functional life of the City's trail system. It is also important to maximize the opportunity for the public to safely use these facilities on a year round basis. 3. Community Center. Establish, administer, and monitor a process providing for the undertaking of this project in accordance with approved plans and specifications, construction contracts, and budget, with construction projected to be completed prior to the end of 1990. VII. STAFFING The business of the City is to deliver services. This is accomplished by people for people. Accordingly, the City Council has adopted the following positions: 1. Staffing. Ensure the best value for the personnel dollar by compen- sating employees appropriately relative to the market. Ensure that temporary, part-time or seasonal personnel arrangements are periodically analyzed to determine that such arrangements are more cost effective than adding full-time employees. 2. Recruitment. Efforts to hire personnel required to accomplish City responsibilities are to be promptly undertaken and swiftly concluded so as to minimize position vacancies. 3. Service Priorities. As the community matures, different service levels and priorities can be expected which may require redirection of staff resources to ensure that the new service is effectively delivered. The addition of a Human Resources Specialist is to be investigated for addition in 1990. VIII. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The Comprehensive Plan for Plymouth has been adopted to provide the framework for .ongoing development within the community. The continuing implementation of the various planning elements is a high priority of this Council. I. Developer Interface. The City staff is expected to work effectively and cooperatively with all persons seeking to develop in Plymouth. The Development Review Committee (DRC) has been established to coordinate the various city departments as the main interface with developers. The Planning Division shall inform all developers of city development requirements and status of applications, and shall process applications in an expeditious manner. 1990 CITY COUNCIL BUDGET PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES Page five 2. Interface With Homeowners. The Building Inspection Division is increasingly called upon to provide advice and assistance to home- owners seeking information regarding construction procedures, design criteria, and code requirements for building modifications and addi- tions. These contacts create a significant demand on available time of personnel within the division and especially upon non-technical personnel in the office since technical staff are often in the field. Reasonable assistance to citizens is deemed to be a service to be provided, and it will be within the capabilities of available resources. 3. Marketing of Plymouth Downtown Area - Consider strategies the City could take to encourage development of downtown Plymouth, recogniz- ing that the property is privately owned and controlled. 4. Senior Housing. In 1990 the City Council will resolve the Senior Housing issue either to develop market rate and/or subsidized hous- ing and to dispose or use the senior site accordingly. 5. Comprehensive Plan Update -- The City staff and Council are presently working to update the City's Comprehensive Plans. One element of this involves the resolution of the current MUSA dispute with the Metropolitan Council. Other features deal with the adjust- ment of the City's Land Use Guide Plan and the reconciliation of that plan to the other Comprehensive Plan elements. These efforts are to be a major priority to meet the anticipated growth of the 19901s. IX. CITY FACILITIES City facilities, including parks, buildings and equipment, represent an investment of public funds. The city, as steward of such assets, must continually maintain satisfactory maintenance levels to extend the useful life of such investments, maximize usability for the purpose for which intended and minimize liability exposure. To accomplish this objective the staff will: I. Facilities Management. The City has a growing number of buildings for which it is responsible. These facilities represent a substan- tial public investment and the maintenance and preservation of these assets requires focused attention. A single individual should be considered whose responsibility will be to oversee the physical maintenance and preservation of all City buildings. 2. Annual Inspection Efforts -- Utilize the services available through city insurance companies/administrators to inspect all city -owned parks, buildings and installations at least once per year to iden- tify appropriate repairs or steps to minimize liability exposure. 1990 CITY COUNCIL BUDGET PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES Page six 3. Ongoing Efforts. At least monthly, high usage areas such as parks shall be inspected to identify and correct deficiencies. A record shall be maintained of such repairs and inspections. The community improvement reminder card program will supplement these efforts. 4. Community Safety Efforts. Develop a means to ensure that all identified community safety issues are systematically considered and appropriately resolved. The existing Safety Committee shall serve as the primary body to achieve this objective. The issue shall be studied to determine if new members should be added to the existing committee or if another committee should be established. X. PROPERTY TAXES The City Council is responsible for about 15 percent of local residents' property tax bill. For taxes payable in 1989, the City Council was able to adopt property tax levies which resulted in a very modest decrease in residential property taxes used for city purposes. The City Council is committed to developing a budget resulting in 1990 residental property taxes which will not increase taxes for city purposes on individual property taxpayers; providing the legislature does not alter presently existing tax laws. The City Council has no voice in establishinq the property taxes collected by other governmental units such as school districts and Hennepin County.

The format was changed, I was having problems with the word processor. Also I have attached a copy of the commendation letter you had given the reserves. COORDINATOR'S SUMMARY: During the three month period the reserves put in a total of 37 hours in community service work. The hours broke down like this; April 28 and 29, Health Fair, 101 hours, May 13 and 14, Police Week, 24 hours, June 10, Hazelton Fun Run, 2+ hours. In June, 7J hours went toward traffic direction at the high schools graduation. On May 12, Reserve Officer Rutherford (Chief Reserve Officer Rutherford) worked 8 hours at the DOT truck inspection. Total hours were down in this time period however the Reserves did donate 37 hours toward community service projects. New Recruits: Brenda Perry, Brenda is 32 years of age, married and has three children. She is going to school for law enforcement. Paige Green, Paige is 25, married and is also going back to school for law enforcement. Training: First Responder Course, Instructor David Weiss David had agreed to instruct this course with help from Mike Goldstein. This is a forty hour course and has never been offered to any other reserve unit. When I had first spoke with David about giving the course he had stated that he would do it for nothing and he still will not give me a cost figure. Besides the time he has put into the course, he has brought other people to help and his own equipment. If possible I think it would be great if the department could come up $75 or $100 to help defray some of his costs. D, Again I'm sorry about the delay in getting this information out to you. If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.

Municipal Summary Report Forthcoming. 7 MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: August 7, 1989 TO: Public Works Director Fred Moore and Public Safety Director Dick Carlquist FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATION FORMAT The Planning Commission, as you may know, has discussed with Community Development Coordinator Chuck Dillerud their concerns about the meaning of their recommendation when it includes conditions that involve matters outside the strict limits of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Code. The Commission has specifically voiced some concern about the standard conditions which, for example, state "Compliance with the Engineer's Memorandum" or, similarly "Compliance with the Recommendations of the Fire Marshal," or the like. This is not the first time that Planning Commissions in Plymouth have discussed this and we have taken note of their desire to have the information contained in the Engineer's Memorandum and in the Fire Marshal's Memorandum to enhance their understanding of the Planning applications submitted for their review and discussion. Chuck Dillerud has discussed this extensively with the Commission and he and I have concluded that the draft recommendations that staff will send to the Commission will not include a condition requiring compliance with the Engineer's Memorandum or compliance with the Fire Chief/Fire Marshal Memorandum. We will include those specific recommendations in the draft resolutions that go to the City Council. For several years, the City Council directed that matters involving special assessments and property tax or area charge matters should be automatically referred to the City Council rather than deliberated by the Planning Commission. I anticipate that questions that arise at Planning Commission Page Two meetings about "Engineering" matters and "Fire Code" matters will be treated in the same manner. Fire Code matters are, by definition of the City Code, exclusively within the City Council's jurisdiction. Both Fire Code and Engineering matters can impact site design, however. I have discussed this with Planning Commission Chairman Plufka and this meets with his approval. I believe that most Planning Commissioners will continue to review the information submitted, including the memos from the various departments, recognizing that staff will be formally recommending compliance when those matters go to the City Council. Please let me or Chuck Dillerud know if you have any questions about this. Thank you for your cooperation. cc: City Manager James G. Willis Community Development Coordinator Chuck Dillerud Planning Commission Richard Plufka and Planning Commissioners August 2, 1989 Dolly Reveling, Manager West Medicine Lake Community Club 1501 Crosby Road Wayzata, MN 55391.

Those complaints were in reference to the music that the Carnies were playing in the area of the rides. During the hours that I was at the Community Club, there were no complaints and no problems. It -appeared to me that members of the Community Club were bending over backwards trying to make sure that they were not making excessive noise.

I arrived there approximately 2055 hours. On my arrival, I observed that the carnival was already shut down. I spoke with several members of the carnival who stated that there just wasn't the attendance there to keep it going any later. Also, they had experienced some problems with some of their equipment becoming wet from rain and had to shut down because of that. The other outside activity that was going on was the beer and pop tent. There were approximately 7 people gathered around the beer tent. For approximately the first 30 or 40 minutes that I was there, I talked with the people at the beer tent and the carnival people. Out of the few people that were at the beer tent, I observed only one that appeared to be intoxicated; that appeared to be a woman that was causing absolutely no problems at all. I then spent most of the rest -of my time inside of the Community Club which housed the concession stand and the Bingo games. In the concession stand area, there were approximately 4 families there. Most of these families were organizers of the event. I spent some time speaking with them. The -Bingo games appeared to be their big drawing event. I would guess that there were approximately 60 to 75 people playing Bingo. Most of the participants were either families or elderly couples. The Bingo games concluded at approximately 2230 hours at which time the majority of the people left. During the time of the detail, I talked with several younger children, most of which belonged to the people putting on the event. I handed out approximately 15 to 20 McGruff police sticker badges to the kids. If you have any other questions or clarifications, please feel free to contact me.

Carlouist FROM: Officer John Larson SUBJECT CARNIVAL NOISE COMPLAINT - WEST MEDICINE LAKE COMMUNITY CLUB I worked at the West Medicine Lake Communitv Club on Sunday. Julv 30. 1989. I arrived at aooroximately 2050 hours and observed that the carnival had shut down and had turned off it's power plants and all of it's lights. It had disassembled and packed up all of it's rides with the exception of a small child's merry-ao-round. The emplovees of the carnival were in and among their vehicles and campers. The visitors. or customers. were all inside the communitv club buildina. The rest of the customers had left between 10:15 and 10:30. At approximately 10:30 we received a call from a resident at concerned about the noise. At the time of the call evervthing was Quiet with the exception of the last of the cars leaving the parking lot. It should be noted that many cars had left the parkina lot and a couple of them were a little loud. The only noise at that time were carnival People talking at a normal tone level with most of them talking veru Quiet because they knew that the neighbors were concerned. It should be noted that there was no music or radios plavina in anv of the travel trailers and the loudest noise that could be observed was the traffic on HWY 55. It should be noted that at that time I did observe two peoule working on the merry-go- round. but they were not making anv noise. At 11:05. while walkina through the neighborhood. I talked to It should be noted that while I was talking to ;alt heard several loud banns of somebodv shutting a larae door. 4W immediately accused that of coming from the carnival. but when I pointed out the direction the noise came from -.10 had to agree that the noise was not coming from there but rather from one of the residents up on 18th Avenue. Shortly before that time. we heard a shriek of a child's voice. That lasted less than 2 seconds and probably lasted no longer than 1 second. That child's noise did come from one of the travel trailers of the carnival. While I was still talkina to *ft I heard a hammering noise. It should be noted that we were standing on the communitv club property and I could hear the hammering, although it was a muffled sound. Personallv if I was in theme house. I would not have heard the sound and I would also think even from1W front yard the hiahwav traffic sound would have been iust as loud as the hammering sound. T Lto MEMO - AUGUST 3. 1989 WEST MEDICINE LAKE COMMUNITY CLUB CHIEF RICHARD J. CARLOUIST PAGE 2 At approximately 11:20 a truck left the property and at 11:25 a noisy van left the property. After I left I did walk over and found the source of the hammering and I had them stop. The hammering was coming from a carnival employee that was having problems. had mentioned to me the fact that they were taking_ apart the merry-go-round and he stated that this was supposed to have been taken down prior to 9:00 p.m. At approximately 11:30 I heard the hammering again and 1 walked over to the source of it and by that time the people were gone and whatever they had to do was done. I talked to the employee at the merry-go-round and informed them that I had to report the fact that they were taking apart the merry-go-round after the allowable time. It should be noted as an overall, the noise level coming from the community club Property was a lower noise level than the noise in the overall neiahborhood, considering the truck traffic on Highway 55 and other neighborhood noises. 'W ANEW made it quite clear the fact that he Just didn't want them there.

August 3, 1989,2,; 1 9914 Over five years ago the City Council took two steps to help alleviate problems between the Viest Medicine Lake Commanity Club and its surrounding neighbors. First, in response to a petition signed by a large number of neighbors, the Council voted some restrictions on the Club's annual carnival. (The Council made it clear that future problems would bring more restrictions.) Secondly, the Council arranged for meetings between Club officials, city officials and a few neighbors to attempt to deal with all other problems. This year, even though problems had clearly persisted, the Council went back on its promise to the neighbors and voted to ease some of the restrictions on the carnival. The attached schedule reflects the wisdom of that decision. Promises and assurances by the Club were not kept, and we were unable to get portions of the Council's resolution enforced by. the police. As far as the other on-going problems are concerned, the meetings have resulted in progress, but serious problems persist. Iithin the past three months there have been six to seven times when the Club's music has been loud enough for us to hear every word of the songs from within our house. (This doesn't count the many other times when the music was simply at annoying levels.) "While some Club members are trying hard to obey the noise ordinances and show consideration to the neighbors, there are others, we are often told, who are strongly opposed to any cooperation. Additionally, the bartenders and security guards often shirk their duties yjhen Club management is not present. (Every time we have called the Club to complain, management has not been present.) After all of these years, it's obvious that only pressure from the Council will make Club members and workers more diligent in enforcing the noise ordinances. Instead, the Council has moved in the opposite direction. Do we have the same rights as other Plymouth taxpayers? If not, the City should have made this clear before we were allowed to build our house. If we do have the same rights, we've waited way too long for the Council to take action. C7ere r' — aru: Cleave 1989 Community Club Carnival Monday: 10:10 p.m. - Large trucks still arriving 11:00 p.m. - Banging of equipment, yelling 11:15 p.m. -- Hammering 11:35 p.m. - Police arrive about 15 minutes after most people have left Tuesday: 11:45 p.m. - Small child staying in one of the trailers yelling Thursday: 10:25 p.m• - Plymouth police hammering "no parking" signs all along street 10:35-12 a.m. - Masic, loud talking and some yelling nearly constant from trailer on grounds 2:03 a.m. - Wakened by more yelling, dog barking - apparently from same trailer. Believe they may have had a party. Friday: 5:00 p.m.. Very loud music begins. At least two neighbors complain to the police and are told the Council has approved the loud music. People as far away as Fox Forest complained about the music levels. (Note: We stayed w,,Tay from our house all Friday evening and all day and night on Saturday. This is contrary to the Club's ridiculous assertion that we are "watchers" who have nothing better to do than sit around and wait for the Club to violate the noise ordinances.) Sunday: 10:15 p.m. - Equipment being taken down well past the 9 p.me curfew, called police 10:45 p.m. - Sporadic noise, including hammering continues. Called police again. Dispatcher says that an officer on the grounds claims there is absolutely no noise. 11:15 p.m. - Spoke to Officer John Larson who was walking down Forestview. He acknowledged that yelling was coming from the club, but seemed to see no problem with that. He denied any other noise was coming from the club. I explained that the Council's resolution mandated that all outside clean-up,etc. be completed by 9 p.m., and I requested he put a halt to any further outside activity. Instead, he kept denying there was any noise. As we were talking, hammering started up again. First, he questioned that we could hear the hammering inside our house. Finally, he agreed to have the hammering stopped. I reminded him four times that all activity should cease. 11:18 p.m. - Large trucks leaving grounds. Very loud. 11:23 - 11:30 p.m. - Frequent hammering, sporadic banging of equipment. 11:10 p.m. - Noise continues. I watched workers taking equipment apart as Officer Larson sits inside his so_uad car and watches the workers. 11:50 p.m. Officer Larson leaves. Little noise thereafter. �i V' �?�Kirr�f ry,�s � i�o�� �f�l� �`tuqusf_9, 11�y AUG P -W as 4� 49 - r �c cZ��ugC C uu,��yFvs �uj I � i�h6Qd .moo 6n G��Z(� UY�07�15 d i i IIIMMM4 OVA- ' �J �i jii � �y�s ,, �wnr�rr�e 49 IIUIO-�5,lde d/m W1 I h +-G Mc.-vvp MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: August 7, 1989 TO: James G. Willis, City Manager FROM: Blair Tremere, Community Development Director SUBJECT: STATUS OF HENNEPIN COUNTY WASTE TRANSFER STATION APPLICATION You requested that I keep you updated as to significant events regarding the application. Late Friday, August 4, 1989 we received the signed agreement required by our ordinance which authorizes the initiation of the review of the county application by a qualified consultant. The letter was accompanied by a check which we have deposited in an escrow account for payment to the consultant as we are billed for the work. I solicited a proposal from four professional engineering firms who were known to me and/or Fred Moore as having expertise in the area of solid waste management facilities. The firm best qualified to meet the requirements of our ordinance in the shortest time is the firm of Black and Veatch of Kansas City, Missouri. Black and Veatch is widely known for their public work consulting practice and, as we learned, they have extensive expertise in the area of waste transfer facilities. I will be finalizing the agreement with Black and Veatch today and authorizing the work to proceed. They have indicated that they will have the product completed within three weeks. When we have their analysis of the application, the Development Review Committee will share that information with the applicant and, ultimately, with the Planning Commission. The object at this time is to verify that the application is complete and is responsive to the ordinance requirements and to applicable rules and regulations. Whereas the county has agreed to pay for the analysis, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, the work is being done for the City under the direction of the City staff.

It is similar to the Emergency Education Network (EENET) which I mentioned to you. EENET is the Federal Emergency Management Agency's system for providing video training and education via satellite to fire service and emergency management personnel. As you may know, EENET provides the opportunity for direct discussion between speakers and viewers using a toll-free telephone number. The Twin Cities Regional Cable Channel 6 is carrying the EENET programming through the end of the year. This means that any person who subscribes to cable in the metropolitan area can view this programming without having to drive to a special close -circuit location. All they need to do is tune in to Channel 6. The EENET schedule for the remainder of 1989 is as follows: ° August 9 - Will Your Sprinkler Work?

After checking audio levels for the system and hearing the problem, the technician concluded that the high-pitched buzzing is not caused by the audio system, rather it is a transformer in the TV monitor in the Council Chambers. To remedy this problem, the television is being brought in for repair. HL:kec Mayor and Council Members City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN. 55447 S tam August 9, 1989 Route 3, Box 164A South Haven, Mn. 5 5J 2':_i V Re: Proposed Reclassification of Parcel No 15-118-22-22 from LA -3 to LA -2 We purchased the above property approximately eleven years ago with a long range goal of investing for our retirement. In July, 1980 we moved to Plymouth and immediately needed to expend thousands of dollars to fulfill the City's urgent request for removal of diseased Dutch Elm trees. We complied at a great financial hardship at that most inopportune time and have always maintained the property and paid our taxes, etc. It has been a year now since we signed a Purchase Agreement with Bob Boisclair based on the LA -3 guiding which had been placed on the property. Through much discussion thereafter, it was determined that our parcel was not large enough for the townhouse project which Boisclair proposed and therefore he acquired the Seavey property and for many months Mr. Boisclair has been working with the Planning Commission to go forward with the project. Then, out of the blue, the Planning Commission proposes and recommends to you to downguide to LA -2. Our purpose in writing is to reinf7rce our disappointment in the Planning Commission's recommendation based, in part on the simple fact that Goff Townhomes are immediately adjacent to our property and it is our understanding that Boisclair's proposed townhouse project is of much higher quality and therefore most compatible with Goff Townhomes. See enclosed map which shows the property in question. It is our further understanding that at this time the City is still negotiating with Mr. Boisclair on his proposal for elderly housing on another tract and such proposal ties in with our property for financial feasibility of the entire project so long as it remains LA -3. Because of these ongoing negotiations, we respectfully request the City Council delay any action on our parcel at this time.

I have assigned investigators to many of the offenses that needed followup. Last week I assigned one of our uniform patrol officers to the investigation section to assist in surveillance and other special activities. Most of the crimes that we were tracking, both in your area and to the north. were occurring between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. Numerous auto thefts. thefts from autos and vandalisms were reported. We have developed suspects! Two days ago we served a search warrant on one of them. Some property has been recovered and the juvenile suspect was referred to court. We are serving another search warrant today. Hopefully. more property will be recovered and other persons charged. Most of the crimes occurring in your area appear to be the "work" of several juveniles. If we are successful in arresting those responsible for the crimes in your area, there always seems to be someone to take their place! In order to reduce the likelihood of becoming a future victim we preach to all residents that they take some preventative steps to reduce their chances of becoming a crime victim. All of our stolen cars involved keys left in the ignition. Many thefts from auto were more easily facilitated because the car doors were left unlocked. And, last but not least. tempting items for thieves were left in plain view. Thank you for taking the time to register your concern about police protection needs. I will do everything humanly possible to respond. Sincerely, Richard J. arlguist Director of Public Safety Plymouth Police Department RJC:Ik cc: James G. Willis.

We will hold a two-day collection hazardous waste on 36th Avenue between Vicksburg Lane Boulevard. Plymouth and which we are of household and Plymouth This project is important because it will permit residents to drop off hazardous wastes which have accumulated in their homes. Leftover paint, pesticides, auto batteries, drain oil and solvents are all hazardous wastes which may not be sent to landfills. This project will allow the County to collect and properly dispose of them. In order for this collection to succeed, we need volunteers to work on either collection day. Shifts will be from 1 - 4 p.m. and 4 - 7 p.m. on Friday. Volunteers are also needed to work from 9 a.m. to noon and noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Volunteers will direct traffic at the site and do some presorting of items dropped off by residents. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Training will be provided prior to the start of each shift. Please let me know_by Monday, August 28 if you and members of your group are willing to participate in this community project. You can reach me or Judy McMillin at 559-2800. I look forward to working with you.

August 8, 1989 Mr. Jerome Begin 5635 Vicksburg Lane North Plymouth, MN 55446 CITY OF PLYMOUTFF RE: Illegal construction activity located at property described as PIN #04-118-22-41-0005 Dear Mr. Begin, We responded to a complaint on August 7, 1989 at approximately 12:23 p.m., a police Officer and I performed an inspection of the property which our records reflect is owned by you. It revealed a structure was being constructed on the site without the required building permit. At the time of our visit, the exterior wall framing system had been erected, and a few prefabricated roof trusses tilted and set in place. We requested that a representative working on the site meet us at the front gate entrance of the property. I provided Mr. Perry Begin with a stop work order and informed him that no further construction activity was to occur on the structure without the issuance of the required building permit. At approximately 12:35 p.m. I met with Perry at the Plymouth City Center and he said that the structure was a "shelter", I provided him with a list of items he would need to submit as part of the building permit application process. Again I informed him that no further work was to proceed on the structure without a building permit. At approximately 4:15 p.m. the site was reinspected and all of the pre -manufactured roof trusses for the structure had been erected and installed. The construction on your property without a building permit constitutes a violation of the Plymouth City Code and the Minnesota State Building Code. Please be advised that no further construction of the structure is to occur until a complete application has been submitted, and our office can determine that the proposed construction complies with all zoning and building code regulations. An accessory structure, alone, is not allowed by the Ordinance. A principal structure is required, i.e., a dwelling. Your failure to comply with my request will leave me with no further alternative than to refer this matter to our City Attorney's Office for immediate action. If you have any questions in regard to this letter, please call me at 559-2800 ext. 222.

Willis, City Manager FROM: Helen LaFave, Communications Coordinator SUBJECT USE OF CITYLINE COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD Beginning Thursday, August 17, Plymouth will be featured on the Cityline community bulletin board. Cityline is a Twin Cities telephone information network. Cityline is a free service available 24 -hours a day to callers. The community bulletin board is being offered by Cityline at no cost to the City. The purpose of the community bulletin board is to inform residents of meeting dates, festivals, recreation activities and other community events. All information must be non-profit. In short, Cityline's community bulletin board will be a tool to cross -market some of the information that we publicize in Plymouth on Parade, the community handbook and on Channel 37. People using Cityline will need a touchtone phone. To reach the community bulletin board, people will dial, 645-6060. When Cityline answers, they will press category 1-0-0-0. Once the neighborhood information line answers, Plymouth residents will enter zipcode 55447 (Cityline made the decision to assign Plymouth the 55447 zip because, like other suburbs, several zipcodes serve the City. Therefore, they assigned the zipcode of the Plymouth Branch Post Office to the City of Plymouth. All publicity for the Cityline community bulletin board will publicize that callers must enter the 55447 zip.) I will be publicizing this new service through a letter to homeowners associations and civic groups and in Plymouth on Parade, Channel 37 and through a news release to local newspapers.

Although I am unable to attend on the dates specified, I have several concerns to share relating to the legislation that was passed in the recent session requiring special school district referenda elections to be held only on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (the date of our city election), as well as concerns with the proposed legislation establishing a Uniform Election Day. Cost sharing is a major consideration in both cases. Although the LMC has consistently opposed Uniform Election Day legislation, a portion of the current LMC policy states that if a statewide date is enacted, "all direct costs of state -mandated changes and additions to current city election duties must be paid by the state." I believe this position could be stronger. The cities should not carry the major burden of the cost for an election, with the state, or counties and school districts, only picking up the 'extra' expense. At a minimum, the costs of polling locations, use of Optical Scan equipment and related maintenance, ballot printing, machine testing, and election judges'r,wages should be shared by all jurisdictions involved in the election. Moreover, salary expenses associated with maintenance personnel (set up and tear down) and the City Clerk's salary should be proportionately reimbursed by the benefiting governmental unit. If a statewide election date is mandated, municipal primary elections should continue to be optional. Another consideration is final responsibility as to: 1) which voting system would be used for a particular election, 2) coordination of ballot printing, 3) obtaining and training election judges, and 4) determining, securing, and paying for polling locations. If the City is to be fully responsible for election administration, then it should be the final determiner of this and other election issues. Also, who would be responsible for ballot storage in a multi -jurisdictional election? What occurs when a school district and county have an election, but a City does not? Would the City still run the election for the other entities? Cities with multiple school districts have particular problems. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Ann Higgins League of Minnesota Cities August 10, 1989 Page 2 I can share a bit of personal experience that demonstrates concerns related to the legislation recently adopted requiring school districts to hold special referenda elections in November. The City of Plymouth has been notified by one of its four school districts that it intends to hold a special referenda election on November 7, the date of our city election. Portions of this school district are in seven cities, one of which is Plymouth. Four of the seven cities have no scheduled November election. Two cities are scheduled to use the Optech IIIP equipment; the City of Plymouth has planned to hold, and budgeted at a substantial cost savings, a paper ballot election. My understanding is that the school district must use the city polling locations where there is a city election rather than their own since the election -is on the same day, and that two voting methods cannot be used in the same precinct (i.e. city paper ballot and school district Optech IIIP). These are items for the school district to address. The City has additional concerns. Within the City of Plymouth, this school district covers portions of seven of our sixteen precincts. Two of these seven precincts are contained completely within the district. Five of the precincts are split, with portions of the precincts in the district holding the election as well as three other school districts. There will definitely be confusion in these seven precincts due to different precinct boundaries and multiple voter registration lists, the need for additional election judges, and precinct/polling place confusion for the voter. Somehow these concerns will be addressed and resolved prior to the November 7 election. However, I believe the questions that have arisen as a result of the legislation enacted in 1989 are reason enough that Uniform Election Day not be considered in a special session of the legislature, as is rumored. Uniform Election Day needs time and study. We cannot have more election mandates that result in additional costs and responsibilities to the cities, without identifying and resolving the resulting problems and concerns first. Thank you for sharing these comments with the subcommittee.

Our Association unanimously opposes the proposed nonresidential use of this property, which, as we understand, is zoned residential by both the Cities of Plymouth and Medina. We plan actively to continue our opposition, along with the City of Medina, which we understand actively opposes the proposal. We intend also to seek the active opposition of the City of Plymouth to any rezoning for the Board of Commissioner's proposed uses. We understand that the proposed acquisition of the Elwell Farm was on the Board's agenda as an item for "Immediate Approval" on August 8, 1989, and that it was so approved. We hereby formally request of you that the vote be vacated, and the matter placed on your agenda for reconsideration no sooner than September 11, 1989. The surrounding property owners, who will feel the effects of any change in land use have never received noticq.of these proceedings, and object to the Board's action on that basis, as well as others. We understand that at least one of the municipalities, Plymouth, was not apprised of this proposal before the Board scheduled and heard the matter. We voice the strongest objection to what we view as secretive governmental proceedings, and we also voice our view that this is a less than honorable fashion in which to treat constituents who have an obvious interest. We wish to appear before the Board of Commissioners on this matter. Meanwhile, we have authorized the expenditure of funds to explore our alternatives in terms of challenging this proposed action. On behalf of the Association, I am meeting on August 11, 1989, with an attorney having substantial expertise in these matters. After that consultation, and the return of several persons from their summer vacations, we will be prepared to appear. to: We request some affirmative steps of you: 1. Scheduling the matter for reconsideration by the Board; 2. Formal notice to our Association and to the City of Plymouth of the current proposal; 3. Future formal notice of each proceeding in any way related to the acquisition, use, or zoning of the property; and 4. An opportunity to be heard at all such junctures. Last, we would like your prompt response.
