FOR YOUR INFORMATION....
1. BEACON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INSPECTION - Attached is a report
from Building Official Joe Ryan on his recent inspection of the
Beacon Heights Elementary School. Joe concludes, "The School
District should consider razing this building due to the cost which
would be associated in making required repairs for any anticipated
use or occupancy." I communicated this report to Superintendent
Landswerk, who has informed me that the district has had discussions
with one person recently who may be interested in acquiring the

building. The prospective purchaser, Clint Carlson, visited briefly
with Joe Ryan, and indicated that his interest would be to use the
property for a day care facility. A day care facility in the R-1
zoning district is allowed as a conditional use if "operated in a
place of workship or in public or private schools..." Presumably
if a party were interested in putting enough money into the build-
ing, it could be renovated and reused. If that option is not
followed, then it would appear that the building should be razed. I
will keep the Council informed as I get additional information on
this subject. (I-1)
2. UNION CITY MISSION DETOX CENTER -- Pat Murphy, Executive Director of
the Union City Mission Care Detox Center, has written to advise us
that Hennepin County Commissioners will be meeting soon to discuss
whether or not detoxification services will be curtailed in 1990.
At the current time the County provides funding to assist the Union
City facility, as well as one in Eden Prairie. As part of its
recent budget deliberations the County Board removed approximately
$300,000 which was to have been used for the 1990 funding of subur-
ban detoxification services. I have contacted County Commissioner
Jude to express my interest in encouraging his support for the
continuation of the services provided by the Union City Mission
Detox Center here in Plymouth. As the Council is aware, that
facility is used heavily by the Plymouth Police, and its loss would
be a setback for our ability to serve that community need. (I-2)
3. NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY RATE INCREASE - Wednesday morning I
attended a meeting at which representatives of NSP discussed their
request for a 10.2 percent overall rate increase. The total amount
of this increase, $121,000,000, must be reviewed and approved ulti-
mately by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Under
state law, NSP will be allowed to implement an interim rate effec-
tive in January. The interim rate increase, 7.7 percent, will be
subject to adjustment and/or refund if the PUC ultimately does not
approve the request approved by the company. It is expected that
the PUC's decision will be made by some time next September. One of
the major components of the proposed rate increase is the company's
request to increase its allowed rate of return on equity from 11.7
percent to 13.25 percent. This component is estimated to comprise
about $33,000,000 of the $121,000,000 increase. The interim rate
increase of 7.7 percent would appear not to reflect this component
of the proposed increase. Attached is a copy of the information
which was distributed at the meeting. (I-3)
4. HOA AGENDA MAILINGS -- At a recent "Get Acquainted Session",
Councilmember Vasiliou described the problem of Homeowner
Associations having very little time to respond to agenda items.
Agendas are mailed on Fridays to Association representatives, and
they have only the weekend to inform members of items to be
considered by the Council on Monday evening. Starging with the
December 18 agenda, we will make an effort to mail agendas to the
Associations on Thursday, rather than Fridays. This will allow one
additional day for Associations to receive and respond to pertinent
agenda items.

5. CABLECASTING COUNCIL MEETINGS -- Helen LaFave contacted the cities
of Golden Valley and Minnetonka regarding their set up for cable -
casting City Council meetings. A memorandum from Helen on her
findings is attached. (I-5)
6. NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES REPORT -- Attached is report from Lloyd
Ricker and Bob Zitur on their attendance at the National League of
Cities convention held in Atlanta from November 25 - November 29.
(I-6)
7. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN FOR DARE PROGRAM - At the December 13 "Get
Acquainted" session, Councilmember Ricker asked for a copy of the
proposed publicity plan for the upcoming DARE program. Attached is
an October 24, 1989 memorandum from Helen LaFave to Frank Boyles
which outlines the publicity efforts associated with the upcoming
DARE program. As the Council can see, printed media, cable
television, and other forms of recognition will be used to publicize
this new important City program. This information was previously
provided to the City Council in an early November information
memorandum.
Also attached is a memorandum on the publicizing of telephone
numbers in the DARE video program. (I-7)
8. BASKETBALL HOOP AT 3410 SYCAMORE LANE - In my last information
memorandum, the Council received a copy of a November 29, 1989
letter to Thomas and Anita Vogel, 3410 Sycamore Lane, requesting the
removal of a basketball hoop within the street right-of-way. Mr.
Vogel has called us to advise that he will remove the basketball
hoop. Because of the frost, he has requested permission to allow
the hoop to remain in place until the spring thaw, at which time he
will remove it. In the interim, he will see to it that the hoop is
not used. Mr. Vogel will send a letter to us to this effect. A
copy of Mr. Vogel's letter will be placed in the suspense file for
May 1 so that we can confirm removal of the hoop.
9. CITY BOARD & COMMISSION MEMBERS -- Letters are attached from Ken
Anderson and Olene Bigelow advising that they do not seek
reappointment to the Board of Zoning, Adjustment and Appeals. Also
attached is a letter from Mike Stulberg, Planning Commissioner,
concerning his reappointment. (I-9)
10. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT -- The Hennepin County Regional Railroad
Authority has set public meeting dates to accept public comment on
the Light Rail Transit draft Environmental Impact Statement.
Attached is the LRT newsletter announcing the public meeting dates.

11. EXAMPLE OF COST SAVINGS -- Annually the City updates its Pay Equity
Implementation Plan. Historically we have used the services of
either Control Data Business Advisors, PDI, or Arthur Young as the
companies have both the expertise and objectivity to accomplish the
study credibly.
In past years the cost for updating the plan through a third party
consultant has been $5,000 to $10,000. This year a former employee
of Arthur Young & Associates was available to work on our staff
temporarily to complete the update. The total cost to update the
plan this year is $2,700. The savings have been between $2,500 and
$7,500. The results and the quality of the evaluation are every bit
as good as that which we would have received working with a
consultant.
12. DIAL -A -RIDE RIDERSHIP -- November ridership statistics from the
Dial -A -Ride transit system are attached. The service continues to
increase with a monthly total for November of 2346 rides. This is a
12 percent increase over the October total of 2095 rides. (I-12)
13. BZ CORRESPONDENCE -- I have received the following correspondence on
City departments or employees:
a. Letter of appreciation to Chuck Dillerud from Lisa Zawtocki,
TwinWest Chamber, for his presentation before the Chamber's
Economic Development Committee. (I -13a)
b. Letter of appreciation to Plymouth Police Officers Tim Oie and
Kevin Pregler, from Dr. Vivi-Ann Rischer, Plymouth Grove
Chiropractic, for assistance provided during a situation at her
clinic. (I -13b)
14. CORRESPONDENCE:
a. Letter to Gene Wills, North Minneapolis Knights of Columbus,
from Eric Blank, granting permission to hold a ice fising
contest on Medicine Lake, Sunday, February 4. (I -14a)
b. Letter from David Kostik, Hennepin Parks, advising of the
cancellation of the December 14 dedication of the French
Regional Park lighted ski trail due to lack of snow. (I -14b)
c. Letter to David Olson, President, TwinWest Chamber of Commerce,
from City Manager, suggesting the City and Chamber explore
transportation management issues. The Metropolitan Council has

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: December 7, 1989
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager thru Community Development Director,
Blair Tremere
FROM: Joe Ryan, Building Officialc�—'-
SUBJECT: BEACON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INSPECTION
Per your request, I performed an on site inspection of the Beacon Heights
Elementary School. Grounds Foreman Butch Meyers and Grounds Keeper Doug Day
of the Wayzata School District accompanied me on the inspection. Referenced
below are my findings:
1. During the time of our inspection, a contracting firm was in the site
taking soil borings and samples around an underground storage tank for
potential leakage. No leakage was discovered upon the first few
borings taken.
2. From an exterior standpoint, all doors are locked and chained and
broken window units have been protected with plywood to protect access
into the building.
3. The building has been without heat for approximately five years. The
water service to the building has been shut off, the plumbing system
has been drained and the plumbing fixtures have been winterized with
anti freeze to prevent cracking or bursting of the pipes or fixture
units. The electrical lighting system is still operational.
4. From a maintenance standpoint, there are numerous areas within the
building which are in a state of general dilapidation. The majority
of painted wall surfaces within class rooms, offices, and corridors
show signs of cracking and splitting as a result of moisture and or
unheated conditions. Tile floor covering material has cracked and
warped within many of the rooms due to the same conditions referenced
above. The floor system in various rooms within the building show
signs of warping as well. Suspended ceiling tile in many of the rooms
has either fallen out, sagged, or buckled due to apparent water damage
caused from roof leakage.
5. Due to improper maintenance, the schools roof system shows signs of
leakage in many areas, especially in the southern wing of the school.
6. I have attached with this memo our copies of a previous report which
identified various deficiencies of the school which would require
corrections to bring it into compliance with the State Building Code
prior to any occupancy of the building.
In my opinion, the school district should consider razing this building due to
the cost which would be associated in making required repairs for any
anticipated use or occupancy.
It appears as though the present condition of the building meets the statutory
definition of a hazardous building because of inadequate maintenance, general
dilapidation and physical damage which occurred. The building also
constitutes a fire hazard and a public safety hazard due to the number of
vandalisms which have occurred over the past involving the starting of fires
within portions of the building which is primarily constructed of wood frame
combustible materials.
I would appreciate your assistance in knowing whether I should formally
proceed in the preparation of processing a demolition order concerning this
property. Please see me should you have any further questions.

21. Pipe insulation required on all heating systems piping.
22. Remove asbestos piping insulation where the jacket has been broken.
(OSHA 1910.1001-MPCA Chapter 17)
23. Ventilation systems using the corridor for return air or relief
air must be upgraded and designed by standards set forth by S.B.C.,
and L.S. code manuals.
24. The south side boiler has only one low water cut-off control install-
ed. An auxiliary low water cut is required in addition to the
main low water cut-off.
25. A fusible link valve is required on the suction side of the oil
pump to prevent the oil from the oil tank from siphoning out onto
the boiler room floor if there is a boiler room fire. (SBC 8105).
The following items pertain to the boiler and are not required by code.
We feel these items should be mentioned since they are safety oriented
features which should be considered when updating the systems.
1. Presently there are three oil heaters. One oil heater is made
out of pipe and the others are steam convertor type oil heaters.
With the present piping system installation, if a leak occurred
on any pipe of these heaters, the oil can leak into the steam side.
This is not a major safety item, but it could really foul the steam
and condensate piping and connected equipment. The oil heaters
should be upgraded to eliminate this situation.
2. There is a drain pipe from the boiler no. 1 shut off valve which
was initially piped to steam traps. The traps have been removed,
and if someone is to open the valves, this released condensate
would flash to steam and cause burns or worse. The boiler piping
system should be repiped a safer way.
3. On both boilers the safety relief valves should be replaced.
4. On both boilers the low water cut-off controls should be inspected
to see if they work.
5. On both boilers the burners are obsolete and are leaking oil.
They should be replaced since parts cannot be obained for them.
ELECTRICAL CODE ITEMS
1. Add exit lights.
2. Add emergency lighting consisting of battery powered light fixtures
to the corridors, gymnasium, stage area, boiler room, and any room
which may be occupied when it is dark outside.
A.. T :�•: .` T 1
3�
3. Add controls in the kitchen to shutdown kitchen hood exhaust fan
and shut off the gas to the equipment under the hood whenever the
hood fire suppression system is activated.
4. Update existing fused panelboards by installing adapters such that
they accept only Type S fuses and each location will accept only
one current rating (not interchangable) (NFPA-70 National Electri-
cal Code, Article 240 E.)
5. Delete the existing fire alarm system and provide a new fire alarm
system. Add heat detectors in the janitor's closets, storage rooms,
and boiler room. Connect to and furnish new devices required under
other portions of this code review (such as sprinkler flow switches,
fire door magnetic hold openers, etc.). Note: The existing fire
alarm system control panel is old and consists of only one zone.
We will require several zones for the new system.

PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA
The Board of Education of Minnesota Indeuendent School District No. 284, Wayzata,
Minnesota requested that The Wold Association, Architects, St. Paul, Minnesota
perform a study to establish re -use of the existing building for school owned
conditional use of a Day_^are Center, or District Office, or Community Center,
or Elementary School and the code related rami f ications involved. basedupon
an initial walkthrough of the building by Mikio Kirihara and Dick Bastyr of The
Wold Association on March 7, 1983 and a subsequent walkthrough with Mr, Al Kleinbeck
- Building Official for the City of Plymouth, Mrs. Sherry Fooshee representing ISD
#284, Mark Heilman and David Hiersman - enginea rs from 0. D. Billing & Associates,

UNION CITY MISSION
3409 E. MEDICINE LAKE BLVD. / PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55441
(612) 559-1883
Mr. James Willis
City Manager
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mr. Willis:
I am writing to request your support of Union City Mission's Mission Care Detox
Center. On December 14, 1989, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners will
determine whether detoxification services will continue to be available in
Northwest Hennepin County in 1990. As a primary referent to Mission Care Detox
Center, your expression of support to the County Commissioners is crucial.
During recent budget deliberations at Hennepin County, substantial cuts were made
in funding for suburban detoxification services. As a result, one of the two
current suburban detox facilities, Mission Care Detox Center in Plymouth or the
Fairview Receiving Center in Eden Prairie, will be forced to close its operations
in 1990.
The volume of services provided by Mission Care Detox Center to Plymouth and other
municipalities in the area clearly demonstates the need for such services in
Northwest Hennepin County. In 1989, the Plymouth Police Department brought 151
individuals to Mission Care Detox Center. We understand that without local
services the distant location of the other suburban facility in Eden Prairie would
prohibit access to detoxification services by many area police departments.
The most effective voice in securing the continuation of detoxification services
which are accessible to the police departments of Northwest Hennepin County is
yours. We would very much appreciate your taking a moment to contact

NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY
Minnesota Electric Rate Case Fact Sheet
How much would the rate increase raise NSP's electric revenues?
NSP has asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to
approve $121 million in additional revenues, or a 10.2 percent overall increase.
If approved, this would be an average annual increase of about 3.5 percent
from_ the time of our last rate increase until the proposed increase would go into
effect.
When would new rates go into effect?
There are two steps to a rate increase: First, interim rates, then final rates.
The company has asked for an interim rate increase of 7.7 percent, to be
effective January 1, 1990. Minnesota statutes allow regulated utilities to put part
of a requested increase into effect, subject to refund with interest, while the PUC
considers a rate case. This allows the utility's revenues to more nearly match
expenses during the lengthy hearing process.
The PUC has 10 months from the date of the filing to issue a final order.
If the PUC approves the requested amount, the final rates would go into effect
about November 1990.
Why is NSP reguesting higher electric rates?
Unlike our last case where we requested an increase primarily to cover
costs of the new Sherco 3 power plant, there are multiple reasons for this case.
Like any business, NSP faces increasing costs. Also, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission is requiring additional, multi-million dollar expenditures
for nuclear plants. In addition, our long-term plan to meet customer energy needs
while postponing costly new plant construction requires. increased expenditures to
maintain and rehabilitate existing plants. This plan also requires that we pursue
economical power purchases and encourage customer conservation and load
management.
As part of the rate case, we're requesting a higher rate of return on our
shareholders' investment. NSP's present allowed 11.7 percent rate of return on
equity is nearly the lowest of any U.S. utility. NSP is requesting 13.25 percent.
The company's performance merits a higher return. Without an adequate
return, NSP cannot continue its record of a high level of service combined with
competitive rates.
3
01
Why do you need a higher rate of return when earnings have been good in recent
years?
Our financial health has helped us keep our rates low. But without rate
relief, we're looking at only a 7.16 percent return in 1990.
We did have some good years, because we're well-managed and efficient.
We also had some unusual circumstances that increased earnings. For example,
extraordinary weather in 1988 increased sales, we sold some land in Wisconsin
and some departments made one-time budget cuts that can't be duplicated.
How do NSP rates compare with those of other investor-owned utilities?
NSP's electric rates are, and will continue to be, fair and competitive. We
have the fourth -lowest electric rates among 16 investor-owned utilities in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
In a Twin Cities Metro survey, customers rate NSP electric rates as "low to
reasonable."
Even with the proposed increase, we expect our rates to be among the
lowest one-third of investor-owned utilities in the U.S.
We need to keep our rates competitive primarily because we compete to a
certain extent for industry's business. Today, companies can choose to switch
fuels or generate their own energy. Also, electric rates can influence a company
deciding where to locate. Low rates might help attract businesses, and that can
help maintain the community's economic health.
How have NSP rate increases compared with the inflation rate?
NSP rate increases over time have been significantly under the pace of
general inflation, and we intend to keep it that way.
Our rate increases, from 1982 to 1988, were also lower than the increases
for many necessary individual goods and services. For example, while NSP's
electric rates over these years increased 15 percent, average Twin Cities home
prices went up 21 percent, Twin Cities hospital charges rose 49 percent and
Minnesota property taxes increased 53 percent.
What are some changes since NSP's last rate case that will be included in this
one?
Since NSP's last rate increase in 1988, which primarily recovered costs of
7__�3
3
building the Sherco 3 power plant, we have experienced cost pressures in a
variety of areas, including plant operations, federal nuclear -related fees, income
and property taxes, power purchases and transmission expenses.
We're also experiencing increasing costs to meet an important goal --
postponing as long as possible costly new plant construction to meet peak
electrical demand. We're doing so by investing in conservation and load
management programs to shift use from peak hours, investing more to extend the
lives of our existing power plants and increasing our power purchases.
While these efforts require investments now, the expenditures are less than
the cost of building new power plants.
Why is it important to keep NSP strong financially?
A strong utility can provide the best service at competitive rates.
NSP must compete with other industries for capital. When our rate of
return is higher, investors perceive us as financially stronger and a more attractive
investment. That makes it easier for us to borrow money. Bond -rating agencies
give us higher quality assessments, which in turn reduce our interest rates. And
that ultimately saves money for our ratepayers.
What is NSP doing to control expenses?
We've accomplished much in terms of cutting our costs before we asked
for a rate increase -- a request we consider as a "last resort."
Some of our cost -control efforts include:
422 employees took advantage of an early-retirement program.
We've increased the number of customers served per employee from 1
employee for every 163 customers to 1 employee for every 171 customers.
We're serving 300,000 more customers today than we did five years ago
with the same number of people.
New and renegotiated fuel and transportation contracts give us delivered
coal at only 78 percent of the national average cost.
Our nuclear fuel costs are two-thirds of the national average.
Our system control dispatchers constantly search for the best energy buy.
Whenever we can buy surplus power from another utility at a lower price than
we can produce it, we buy it. The company has saved $11.6 million during the
last two years on spot electricity purchases.
"%-3
What if the PUC grants you less than the amount you're requesting?
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. We might have to re -think
our long-range plan. But we're confident the PUC will see that our long-range
plan makes sense.
Why are you asking to reduce the Conservation Rate Break?
The Conservation Rate Break does not achieve what it was designed to
do -- it does not increase conservation. The CRB gives a discount to customers
who happen to use little electricity, like apartment dwellers or people who aren't
home very much. It does not give a rate reduction based on need. Our
HeatShare program and state agency funds help those who need assistance.
Therefore we propose phasing out the CRB.
Those who use less than 300 kilowatt-hours per month now receive a $3.50
bill reduction. We proposed they receive a $2.00 reduction.
Those who use less than 400 kwh now receive a $1.75 reduction. Under
our proposal, the reduction would be $1.00.
Why should we pay now to decommission Pathfinder?
The cost of retiring this prototype nuclear power plant pales when one
considers how much our customers have received because of what NSP learned
from Pathfinder. Because of Pathfinder, our customers have shared in the savings
achieved by our excellent -performing nuclear units.
It was our experience with Pathfinder that allowed us to build and run our
Monticello and Prairie Island plants so safely and economically. Our nuclear
plants are among the most efficient in the nation and our nuclear fuel costs are
two-thirds of the national average.
We couldn't have a 747 without a Kitty Hawk -- Pathfinder was our Kitty
_ Hawk.
We did the first phase of Pathfinder decommissioning 20 years ago. We're
completing the process now. Decommissioning costs are forecast to increase at a
faster rate than inflation, so it also makes economic sense to finish the
decommissioning now.
Today's customers are benefitting from NSP's early nuclear experience;
they should fund the decommissioning expense.
k73
s
Will there be public hearings to discuss the proposed increases?
Once the rate case is filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission,
the PUC will hold public and evidentiary hearings on dates that will be
announced in late December 1989.

SUBJECT INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED ON COUNCIL CABLECASTS OF OTHER CITIES
As requested, I have contacted the cities of Golden Valley and Minnetonka
regarding their set up for cablecasting City Council Meetings.
GOLDEN VALLEY:
Golden Valley uses a two camera set up. They use three people to cablecast
the meeting, one director and two camera operators. Golden Valley uses the
same equipment that we use.
MINNETONKA:
Minnetonka has a four camera set up. Two cameras are run by camera
operators. The third camera is permanently mounted behind the Mayor. It
focuses on the podium and staff area. The director operates that camera by
remote control.
The fourth camera is an overhead camera which is mounted on the ceiling and
shoots straight down at graphics.
Minnetonka uses three people to cablecast their meetings, two camera
operators and a director.
Minnetonka Cable Coordinator Tom Achartz informs me that the city paid about
$150,000 three years ago to purchase their cameras, switcher, and time -base
corrector. Minnetonka works in a three-quarter inch format. (We work in
VHS and plan to switch to super VHS when we replace our new equipment).
If you or the Council would like more information on this, let me know.

SUBJECT NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES MEETING IN ATLANTA
We were in Atlanta from November 25 through November 29 attending the annual
meeting of the National League of Cities. Nearly 4,500 municipal leaders
from throughout the United States, including representatives from most
communities within our metropolitan area, gathered for the conference to
share information about innovative and successful local programs to help
cities deal with a wide range of problems.
The 1989 conference focused on ways that local governments can improve their
performance by building partnerships and enlisting greater local
participation in a broad array of public services and community activities.
It appears to us that if we are going to continue to progress and maintain a
positive image with our citizens, we need to mobilize and strengthen our
city resources to enable us to meet the challenges of the 1990's. Progress
begins with and depends on new ideas and sensible solutions that we must be
creative enough to conceive and bold enough to try.
The conference program included dozens of workshops focusing on new ways to
deal with long-standing concerns. The programs were run concurrently so
each of us had an opportunity of attending different sessions. Audio
cassette tapes of various programs were purchased and will be available in
the City Manager's office for your use if you so desire.
In closing, we found the conference to be informative, as well as an
opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with public officials from all
parts of our nation.

SUBJECT: PROMOTION FOR DARE PROGRAM
Dick Carlquist, Darrel Anderson and I met on October 23 to discuss promotion
plans for DARE. Promotion for DARE will focus on creating an awareness of and
support for the DARE program among the general population.
We chose this focus because it is Dick's understanding, based upon comments
from individual Councilmembers, that the Police Department should not be
actively soliciting funding for DARE from businesses. Obviously, the Police
Department welcomes all contributions from businesses but they will be
spending their time initiating and running the program rather than on fund
raising.
Our promotion plans are as follows:
GENERAL AWARENESS
Plymouth on Parade
- November/December Plymouth on Parade includes an article on plans to
initiate the DARE program.
- January/February Plymouth on Parade article providing an overview of DARE
and highlighting its start in four schools.
- May/June Plymouth on Parade will include an update on DARE'S progress and
first graduating classes.
- Other articles will be included as appropriate if the program is expanded.
Cable Television
- The Public Safety Director will appear on the December 26 edition of
Northwest Cities, a studio interview program, to discuss the start of DARE.
- Produce a 5-7 minute program showing scenes from DARE classes and
graduation. At the Public Safety Director's request, this program will
follow the same format used in a Los Angeles Police Department -produced
program. It will include many short scenes from the DARE classes and
scenes from the graduation. This tape will be shown on channel 37.
OTHER PUBLICITY
- The December 14 Weekly News Reports Column will feature the DARE program.
Darrel Anderson has written this at the request of the Wayzata -Plymouth Area
Chemical Health Commission.
- A news releases about the start of DARE will be issued to local newspapers
during the week of December 18.
- A news release will be issued to newspapers in the spring to announce the
first DARE graduating classes in Plymouth. A shorter version will be issued
to television stations.
RECOGNITION OF BUSINESSES CONTRIBUTING $500 OR MORE TO DARE
- Dick Carlquist and Laurie Rauenhorst will see that Certificates of
Appreciation are presented to contributors at City Council meetings. The
Police Department will notify me when this will occur so that I can
photograph the presentation. I, in turn, will submit the photograph to the
local newspapers and include it in Plymouth on Parade.

RE: Notice to not renew my appointment to the Board of Zoning
Adjustments and Appeals.
Dear Virgil:
The purpose of this letter is to inform You, with some regret,
that I will not seek reappointment to the Board of Zoning Ad.iust-
ments and Appeals once my current term expires effective January
31, 1990.
My decision is based upon many factors, primary of which is my
recent change in employment. I have been working since.late Sep-
tember as the Economic Development Coordinator for the City of
Belle Plaine. Both City Councils meet on the same dates thereby-
creating potential scheduling conflicts. As you are aware, there
are a number of other commitments as a City staff member which
may negatively impact my ability to properly continue to serve as
the Chairman of the Board of Zoning. Therefore, I have elected
to not serve in this capacity.
In a related matter, one of the present commissioners has sug-
gested that it may be appropriate for the City Council to include
a Board representative, preferably the Board Chair, during the
interviews of the prospective candidates selected to fill vacan-
cies on the Board. The benefit, of course, would be to provide
some input in the interview process from one who works most
closely with the Board. Although entirely within the purview of
the Council, I offer this for purposes of discussion as an item
which may be considered by the new Council as a means to provide
additional insights during the interview process.
I have sincerely appreciated and valued my association with the
City Council and staff over these past four years. I will miss
my involvement with the City of Plymouth but remain auite confi-
dent the Board will continue to serve the best interests of the
community.
I also want to extend my very best wishes to you and your family
a roaches With warmest regards!!
as the holiday season pp

This is to inform you that I will not seek reappointment

This notification is effective following the December 12

While I would enjoy continuing my service on the Board,
I am finding my new position very demanding, and
consequently, my time even more precious.
During my six years' tenure on the Board I have had the
privilege of working with many fine people, both on

I would very much enjoy being reappointed for another term on the
Planning Commission.
As you are aware, my house is on the market and we have a contingent
agreement on a parcel outside the City of Plymouth. I am not sure
whether the contingencies will ever be satisfied, although I should
have a better idea around the end of January.
I am also involved in a pending purchase agreement on a significant
parcel of land in the City of Plymouth (approximately 100 acres) to
construct a new facility for our business.
With the above issues, I would respect the council's wishes and
respect my reappointment.
In any event, I have greatly enjoyed my experiences in serving the
city, and especially working with the present council and staff.
Please let me know your decision.

Dear Chief of Police;
I would like to express my appreciation and admiration to
officers Tim Oie and Kevin Pregler who aided my patient and
myself in a crisis situation.
On November 11, 1989 a potentially life threatening domestic
dispute entered my clinic. A woman had been battered and
her life threatened by her husband who possessed a gun.
He had dropped her off for treatment and would be returning.
We called the Plymouth Police.
Through the quick help of officers Tim Oie and Kevin Pregler
the husband was abducted, the womans life saved and my clinic
virtually operated normally during the ordeal.
I am in awe of how professionally these officers operated.
They displayed amazing team work to quickly abduct the man
with very minimal interruption. While my patient and I were
still shaking, these calm officers were empathetic and gave
excellent guidance to us.
It's nice to know how well protected we are thanks to the
officers Tim Oie and Kevin Pregler. Job very well done!
Warm regards,
Dr. Vivi-Ann R. Fischer

Dear Mayor Schneider:
I regret to inform you that we are cancelling the planned
dedication of the French Regional Park lighted ski trail
scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 14, due to the lack of snow.
(Some of us just don't know how to appreciate good weather
when we have it!)
When we planned the celebration, we fully expected to be able
to open the trail for skiing. Well, the lights are in place
and ready to glow, now all we need is the snow.
We plan to re -schedule the dedication ceremony after the
first of the year, when we can invite you to bring your skis
with you.
I apologize for any inconvenience this late notice has caused
you.
S cerely,

10550 Wayzata Boulevard
Suite 2
Minnetonka, MN 55343
Dear David:
The City is currently updating its Comprehensive Plan pursuant to
requirements of state law. One of the major elements of our Comprehensive
Plan is the Thoroughfare Plan.
Our Thoroughfare Plan must be developed so as to be in conformity with the
Transportation System Plan of the Metropolitan Council. This presents a
substantial challenge to us, largely as a result of the impact of major
metropolitan principal arterial highways. It comes as no surprise that
Highway 55, I-494, and County Roads 169 and 101 are heavily utilized in
Plymouth. As a result of this type of heavy utilization, the Metropolitan
Council has indicated that municipalities must develop Travel Demand
Management (TDM) strategies so as to assist in minimizing the overloading of
these metropolitan transportation systems. In this regard, we believe the
interests of both the municipalities and the members of the TwinWest
coincide. It is obviously in our collective interest to ensure that the
transportation system serving our area remain adequate to meet the growing
needs that are being placed upon it as the various communities continue to
grow. Existing businesses also need to be assured that they can continue to
rely upon the transporation system without experiencing growing frustration
on the inability of the highway system to meet their needs.
The Metropolitan Council specifically set forth the -following three travel
demand management issues which will be of interest to your members. These
are as follows:
1. The municipalities are to reflect a commitment to work with
employers and developers to create conditions and services that
encourage employees to ride together and/or travel in off-peak
hours.
2. Consider land use strategies, such as reducing land use intensity,
encouraging an appropriate mix of land uses, and using site planning
techniques that encourage use of car polls, van pools, and buses.

3. Work with the Regional Transportation Board (RTB) and the
Metropolitan Council in developing and implementing the traffic
demand management component of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Dave, you can see from above that TwinWest members and cities alike share a
mutual interest in this issue. I would appreciate having the opportunity of
exploring this matter further with you and subsequently with your board or
any committee of the board which is formed to address transporation issues.
This is an issue with which we all need to become involved.

Mr. Blair Tremere
City Of Plymouth
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Blair;
Ci _YIAOUTH
CON1MBITY JEVELCPMENT DEPT.
Thank you for your phone call regarding the city's efforts to determine
appropriate land uses and provide necessary infrastructure to allow orderly
development of western Plymouth. We support these planning efforts and pledge
our cooperation to bring about orderly, environmentally sensitive development.
Our company, Rome Development Corporation, is the managing partner for the
Plymouth West Partnership site located at the northeast quadrant of State
Highway 55 and Peony Lane (see attached map). We are working with Mr. Bill
Gagne, representative of the Plymouth West Partnership, who are the fee owners
of the 35.7 acre site. Both Mr. Gagne and our company would appreciate
receiving notification of future actions the city may take affecting the
property at the addresses listed below.
The Plymouth West Partnership purchased the site in 1980 with the expectation
that a commercial development would be prepared at an appropriate future date.
The Plymouth Guide Plan at that time indicated "Service Business" for the
site. This land use designation continues today, although staff has
recommended this be changed to "Limited Business" in conjunction with recent
planning studies. It also appears that the site is excluded from the 1990
sewer service area. Unfortunately, neither of these proposals was known to us
until recently. We would have appeared at the Planning Commission hearings if
we would have known about the proposed changes.
We respectfully request that staff and your consultants give consideration to
allowing larger scale neighborhood commercial development and include our
property in the 1990 sewer service area. We base our request on the following
rationale:
1. We are currently formulating a commercial concept plan that will likely be
submitted as a Commercial Planned Unit Development. Our plan responds to
the market demand which exists today for the site. We do not believe that
there is a market demand today or in the near future for "Limited
Business".
2. The site is ideally located at the intersection of State Highway 55 and the
planned extension of County Road 101 along Peony Lane. The northeast
quadrant of this intersection is preferred since it affords easy access
from westbound Highway 55.

3. The previous land use designation of "Service Business" is appropriate for
the site. We believe that our concept plan will be appropriate for the
area given market demand, ease of access and excellent visibility from
Highway 55.
4. The area to the north of the site is planned for residential development.
County Road 101 will likely be realigned through this area to eliminate the
left turn which must be made on Highway 55 for northbound 101 traffic. Our
site can respond to the commercial needs generated by these future
residents without adversely impacting regional highway systems.
5. The city is planning to extend a trunk waterline along our north boundary
(old Rockford Road) and our west boundary (Peony Lane) in 1990. Sewer
service will be available to parcels immediately east and south of our
site. We believe that our property can easily be included in the 1990
sewer service district and is appropriate since water service is planned
for 1990.
6. Granting our two requests will allow timely development of the property.
This will allow us to proceed with our concept planning where we will
address the future alignment of County Road 101, easements for sewer and
water extensions and future plans for old Rockford Road.
I can assure you that we pledge to work with the city in a cooperative manner
and we believe that the city will find merit in a well planned commercial
concept plan for the site. We thank you for your consideration.

7 -DEC -1989
Virgil Schneider, Mayor
and
Richard Carlquist, Chief of Police
City of Plymouth
I am writing this letter to file a complaint about an inc
concerning one of your police officers.
On Tuesday Dec. 5 at 1:30 AM an officer Buske called my house
concerning an apparent abandoned car, allegedly registered in my
name. My wife answered the phone and inquired what the problem was.
He said it involved our car being abandoned in Plymouth and that he
needed to talk to me. She felt that he was abusive and intimidating
in his mannerism even at this point. I finally awoke enough to come
to the phone to talk to him. He was anything but congenial. He
wanted to know if I owned an 81 Chev. station wagon. I told him
that I did not, but had owned one up to June of this year, and had
donated it to North Hennepin Vo -tech for use in their auto body
school. He sounded incredulous and read me the VIN. It was the same
as the car I had owned. He then insisted that I was the legal,
registered owner and wanted to know what I was _going to do about
moving the car. I again told him that I had given the car away and
had papers to prove it (attached) and was not responsible for it.
Things went down hill from there. Admittedly I became argumentive
and uttered some obscenities in the discussion that followed. I am
not particularly proud of my reactions, but given the hour, the
sequence of events and my resulting state of mind I find it
understandable.
I feel that the whole incident was uncalled for. He told me that
the car had been left on the property where it was found for three
weeks. I find it hard to understand then what made it so urgent for
him to call me at that time of night. The car was not reported
stolen, nor was it involved in any kind of criminal activity. After
three weeks, would another 5-6 hours delay in contacting me have
made any difference in the outcome. Can anyone explain to us why is
this type of behavior necessary? What can be done about this. My
wife and I were both so upset over the incident that neither of us
slept the rest of the night, and the following day was a total loss
given the fact. that we had no sleep and were still very upset about
this. I also had to take time off of work the next day to try to
straighten this matter out.
In the morning I went. to the Vo -Tech campus to talk to the people
there and explained. what had. happened to them. They were very
cooperative but concerned about the situation. They explained that
they do not transfer the title to the school, but officially
register the car as -funk with the state, which they understand to
mean that it has no legal. owner. They agreed that they would go get
the car and try to trace how it qot to where it was found. We tried
to call your office to get the matter resolved but after 4-5 times
of getting only a recorded message from various people to leave a
message, I left in frustration.
On the positive side, I do want to say that I did have some contact
with two of your officers concerning this matter that was not
confrontational. They were in fact understanding and congenial. On
the way to my job in Plymouth, I spotted one of your police cars
and out of frustration flagged down the diver to talk to him about
it. I needed to talk to someone at this point, being totally
frustrated with your voice mail system. This was officer Bob
Levens. He was polite and congenial, and assured me that he would
have someone contact me. Within about a half an hour, Sgt. John
Ward called me to discuss the matter. He was understanding and
agreed that a 1:30 AM call was uncalled for under the
circumstances. We talked a couple of times more on Tuesday to try
to resolve this matter. Both of these officers were helpful and
polite in their dealings with me.
Later in the day I called the Motor Vehicle Registration office to
discuss the ownership of the car with them. The clerk checked their
records and told me that the car was registered as junked out, just
as the people at Vo -Tech had told me. According to her, my only
connection with the car was as the last registered owner. I asked
her what I could do to avoid such situations in the future, since I
did not want any more trouble with the car. She told me that there
really was nothing I need do since as far as the state is concerned
I am not the owner of the car. I told her that apparently does not
seem to matter to the Plymouth police and I needed more assurance.
After consulting with a supervisor, she assured me that I am not
the legal. registered owner of the car and there is nothing more she
could do for me.
As a closing to the events of the day, the people at Vo -Tech called
late in the day to say that the whole thing was apparently just a
misunderstanding or due to a breakdown in communications somewhere
along the line. Needles to say, I was not amused. They traced the
car in their records and found that it had been sold to one of
their students for parts. He told them that his father worked at
the business where the car was reportedly abandoned and had
permission from the owners to leave it there for awhile. Someone
must have forgot. In any event they told me that either the student
or the Vo -Tech would have the car removed from the property where
it was found. I haven't heard any more about it since then so I
assume that at least the issue of the car itself is resolved. I do
not appreciate being roused from a sound sleep over someone's
mistake for an event that was not urgent in anyone's mind but that
of your officer.
As I said earlier, I still fail to see how or why this should have
occurred. I keep seeing in the paper how the police are trying to
build a positive image. I have tried to teach my children respect-
for
espectfor the police. Events such as this don't do much for these
efforts. My father was a member of the Ramsey County Sheriff's
office for 25 years. Because of this I have often taken the side of
the polic(2 on many issues. When I would read of police harassment.
or charges of brutality, I would blindly assume that obviously the
recipients were deserving of the treatment they received, thinking
that "bad people get what they deserve". After this incident, I am
no longer sure of that position. My family and I are not "bad
people". Apparently it can happen to anyone. I feel that this
incident is harassment and abuse of power on the part of this
officer. At this point I feel that the only consolation I have is
that I do not live in Plymouth. We probably would have been
awakened with a knock at the door instead of a phone call.

bedside ta, b le ...
O PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and
remember what peace there may be in silence....
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to
others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too
have their story.... If you compare yourself with
others, you may become vain or bitter, for always
there will be greater and lesser persons than your-
self. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however
humble; it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business
affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this
not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons
strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of
heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affec-
tion. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of
all aridity and disenchantment, it ig as perennial as
the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture
strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond
a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the
trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And
whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
universe is unfolding as it should.
