It provides the means of sharing and registering information with the Integration Backbone and shared data environment; the interface to the local operational systems; and access point to additional local data. Agencies will have control over the access to their own data and determine how and when that data is made accessible via CriMNet. They will also have control over the exchange of data that occurs between agencies within their jurisdiction and the business rules that support those exchanges. Tier 2 — Communication Components This tier consists of components that provide the communication between the Local Hub and the Intogration Backbone, and between the Local Hub and the Agency applications. Components such as adaptors between the Local Hub and the Integration Backbone will be designed land provided by the State. The Local Agencies will be responsible for design and development of the communication components based on the requirements and design set by the State. Communication components, such as application adaptors, are the only interface between an agency application and the integration services of the Local Hub. Every application is a functional `black box', and only the adaptors know the internal structure of the application. An application adaptor will perform the necessary functions required by the business rules defined at the Local Hub. Tier 3 — Agency Applications and Supporting Components This tier consists of the hardware, software and network components of the operational systems that are the source of the data. These operational systems include all local agency applications, such as a prosecution case management system or a jail management system, that are used to collect and maintain the commonly shared data that will be shared through CriMNet. They also include the applications' underlying components, such as low-level data transformation services, gateways, and adaptors. Installation, enhancement or replacements of these types of operational systems, to substantially improve compliance with CriMNet requirements, are included in this category. An example of one such Tier 3 operational system can be found in the Form -F Example beginning on page 17. Minnesota Department Of Public Safety Exhibit -D Local Integration Planning or Implementation 10 Clear Channels Volume III, Number 2, February 22, 2002 Page 1 Rod. Clear Channels** An Occasional Memo for members and friends of the Metropolitan Radio Board with News and Information from the Executive Director Volume III, Number 2 February 22 2002 Dear Radio Board Members and Friends: Here's the latest News from in and around the Metro Radio Board as seen from St. Paul: Radio System Build -out Bills Advance Qenator Ranum, Representative Stanek Champion Metro System Completion ' Outstate Expansion A sea change in legislative attitudes since the events of September 11, 2001 has led to an air of optimism on Capitol Hill that additional funding for expansion of the digital radio system is actually a strong possibility this session. During a year in which unprecedented budget cuts are underway in most sectors of government, improved public safety and security is the one area that is likely to see increased spending. Since the last Clear Channels was written Senator Jane Ranum (DFL -Minneapolis) has introduced SF2683. The bill takes a comprehensive approach to combating terrorism by including a variety of measures to strengthen public safety. The bill will take an additional bite out of your phone bill each month, increasing the so called 9-1-1 surcharge by a quarter. The additional 25 cents is broken down as follows: 6 cents to the Department of Administration to help pay the cost of 9-1-1 phone service; 7 cents to the PSAPS (9-1-1 dispatch centers) 2 cents to develop and implement a communications system linking firefighters and EMS providers; 1 cent to underwrite operation of medical communications centers. Finally, 9 cents is designated to pay for finishing the Minnesota Metro 800 MHz radio system. The bill made its first stop in the Senate Telecommunications Committee, chaired by Senator Jim Metzen (DFL -South St. Paul), where it was heard extensively. Last night the bill passed out of the committee and was referred to the Senate Finance Committee. Thanks to all who appeared at one or both of the hearings on the bill. Several Board members and others Clear Channels Volume III, Number 2, February 22, 2002 Page 2 deserve kudos for their perseverance. Next stop: the Senate Finance Committee. Additional clarifying language is likely to be added there. The big battle will be to keep the bill intact at the full funding amount as it moves through committee and onto the floor. Meanwhile, the House has taken a very different tack. In the last issue we reported that Representative Stanek -(R-Maple Grove) had introduced a similar anti -terrorism package in the House. That bill also specified a 9 -cent increase in 9-1-1 funding for the Board. But the approach wasn't to the liking of the GOP leadership. Looked too much like a tax increase. So the original Stanek bill is stalled, but the concept of building -out the system is still very much alive. Instead of funding the buildout with the 9-1-1 surcharge, the House has chosen to add $37 million to the omnibus even year bonding bill. By the way, no such provision is in the Governor's recommendation nor is it in the Senate bill.. The $37 million is currently specified for out -state Minnesota. Stanek has indicated that he intends to offer an amendment next Monday morning when the bill gets to Justice Finance, which he chairs, to add $35 million for the metro area, a total bonding package of $72 million. Our best guess is that when the smoke clears and these bills go to conference committee, the compromise that -comes out will likely contain some increase in 9-1-1 funding and some bonding, and that some of each will go to finance out -state expansion and metro completion respectively. I will try to keep you updated as often as time permits on progress. Meanwhile, please help us by calling your legislator(s) and letting them know how important this project is to improving public safety. Let's face it: the public thinks we already can talk. We need to make the public perception a reality. Back to Washington Chairman Dave McCauley and I are planning another trip to Washington to visit our state's congressional delegation to see if we can pry some money out of the feds to supplement the state effort. It may be especially important to succeed in this year's federal appropriations bills, since none of the state bills anticipate financing subscriber sets. In view of the speed up of our anticipated build -out, we are doubling our request from $5 million to $10 million. We plan to be in DC March 5' and 6`''. Again, if you can write a letter of support (or send an e-mail) to your member of congress, please help. Dakota County Passes Resolution Thanks to Don Maher, Chair of the Dakota County Board, for helping push through a resolution of support for our legislative program and for communicating it to the Dakota County delegation. We think it helped greatly in getting the Ranum sponsored bill through Senator Metzen's Telecommunciations Committee. Metzen appeared to be heavily lobbied to vote against the provision by telephone company representatives. He was heard to remark that hearing from his County Commissioners helped change his mind. Clear Channels Volume III, Number 2, February 22, 2002 Page 3 Amanda Welliver's Lobbying Experience Helping Big Time When we hired Amanda Welliver as Radio Board Coordinator, replacing John McGough, one of the bonus items on her resume was her extensive experience as both a senate staffer and as a lobbyist for the Realtors. Several times this session that experience has proved to be highly useful. She has been especially helpful in gaining access to some of her former employers in the GOP Caucus and among her ex -colleagues. She has also been a great help assisting in making phone contacts. All this while keeping up with taking and writing up meeting minutes, staffing SMG and TOC meetings and maintaining the web page. Thanks, Amanda, for the good work. St. Paul Schools Testing Radios The St. Paul school district has been a subscriber to Nextel Direct Connect as a means of maintaining contact with their bus drivers. Not only is this an expensive proposition, but there are areas in the city where coverage is thin. In addition, using Direct Connect for communciation with more than one individual at a time really runs up the bill. The District reports that if they can use the new region -wide system, they will be able to pay the cost of subscriber sets in a matter of less than two years through savings in the user fees they pay. Currently the cost runs about $75 per phone per month, with additional charges when all -call or conference call options are used. Tom Meyer, system manager reports that preliminary tests indicate excellent coverage in all parts of St. Paul using portable radios loaned by the MRB. More on this at the next meeting. That's all for now have a great week. See you at the next Radio Board meeting, March I" at the Metropolitan Counties Government Center. Hopefully, we will swear in two new members, Randy Johnson from Hennepin and Robert Lilligren from Minneapolis. N Clear Channels Volume III, Number 2, February 22, 2002 Page 4 Get the facts about the Minnesota 800 MHz Regional Radio System Recently, inaccurate comparisons have been made between the Minnesota Regional Radio System and the system that was used by the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) on September 11, 2001, saying that the systems were the same, and that the system in New York was a "disaster." There are important facts you should know. • The Fire Department of New York was not using an 800 MHz radio system on September 11. FDNY will soon be using a new radio system which operates in the 450 MHz frequency band. The system is a "conventional" system, unlike the new Minnesota system, which is trunked. On September 11, 2001, however, they were still using their old equipment and system. The system being used was a VHF analog system, similar to those currently being used in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, in which communications were radio -to -radio. • The Minnesota system is strong, reliable, and resistant to failure. The Minnesota system is a trunked system. Rather than communications being sent radio -to -radio, each radio sends signals to a nearby tower or receiver site, which then rebroadcasts that transmission at higher power. The system is designed and built to have redundancy so that the loss of any tower would not significantly impair communications. The design incorporates several redundancy features — a triple loop digital microwave system, two independent but overlapping control zones, redundant Zone Controllers, redundant Site Controllers, and multiple radio frequency channels at each site. Closely spaced towers are used to greatly improve radio reception inside buildings in densely built downtown areas. This means that system operation is not dependent on a single site being operational. The system is already operational. Several participating agencies have been using radios for test purposes, and some have even begun deploying radios to some of their users for regular business communications. The users have been pleased with the performance of the system and have found that it provides much better coverage and audio quality than their old radios. The system is currently undergoing exhaustive testing and is performing well. It is currently in the final stage of testing, which is expected to be completed in late Spring. Shortly after testing is complete, more users will begin migrating to the system.

Experience has shown that persons who currently are building inspectors are highly trained and qualified. I would not like to see unqualified people doing this job. One point of clarification needs to be made. Currently, neither the cities nor the inspector are liable if the inspector misses an item which either causes a failure or an injury. Non city inspectors are at least hypothetically liable for their negligence, assuming they have insurance or assets. If code violations are missed or overlooked, which can happen even with the most qualified inspector, the only recourse after construction and injury, is to the builder, who as you pointed out, may not be around 2 years after construction. Otherwise, I felt your points were very well made. Larry Marofsky 3/5/2002 Laurie Ahrens '� _�G From: Joy Tierney Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 2:51 PM To: Laurie Ahrens Subject: FW: Wayzata Schools Proposal —Original Message -- From: dan carlson [mailto:dan–carlson@wayzata.k12.mn.usj Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2002 10:04 PM To: council@ci.plymouth.mn.us Subject: Wayzata Schools Proposal Mayor Tierney and Council; This is Dan Carlson, Engineer for the Wayzata Public Schools. After approval last week from the Wayzata School Board, I have begun the next step relating to the feasibility study of a wind turbine to possibly be located on the Wayzata High School site and felt it was important to make contact with you early in this project. I have been in touch with Marie Darling and we are currently submitting a Zoning Text Amendment application at her request for a temporary meteorlogical tower for data collection by the State of Minnesota Department of Commerce. As a small primer for you, the turbine, if it eventually installed, would generate enough electricity to net the school anywhere from $170,000 to $350,000 per year depending on this initial study. We are currently working on grant applications through Excel Energy and other resources and may possibly have up to 80% of the project funded by grants. As we continue to look at reductions in school funding, we have taken a proactive approach and are looking for items that can make us less reliant on taxes, yet maintain the high quality of education we have a tradition for. Besides the economic value, the educational resources are very attractive not only for wind study and power production, but in the interest of showing our students that we are taking a proactive stance in alternative energy. Needless to say, this would be a large project and need community as well as city support. We are scheduling a neighborhood meeting for the middle of March to find out what neighbors would think of the idea. The turbine, if installed, would be in the NW quadrant of the property, furthest from current homes, however, we think it is good policy to keep our neighbors informed. I would be happy to offer a presentation and question/answer meeting for anyone interested in this unique project. This is an up and coming part of energy conservation and I hope that Wayzata Schools and the City of Plymouth can show the Twin Cities and Minnesota that we are leaders. My hope would be that as the media begins looking at this story, we can tell them that the project is in cooperation with the City of Plymouth!

ISD#284 Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting February 14, 2002 Page 4 Present: Chair Anderson, Commissioners Rezabek, Weir, Meyer, Musliner, Fiemann; Councilmember Hewitt; staff Blank and Pederson Absent: Singer 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Anderson called the February meeting to order at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Commissioner Weir and seconded by Commissioner Rezabek to approve the minutes of the January meeting as presented. The motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present. b. Staff. Director Blank stated that Diane Evans will be starting on March 4th as the new Superintendent of Recreation. She will be at the March meeting. c. Others. None. 4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION a. The Northwest Greenway was presented to the Council and it was unanimously adopted. The Council chose paved trails over crushed limestone, which had been PRAC's recommendation. Blank says we're five years away from owning anything or paving anything. The issue will be reviewed again thoroughly before anything is done. No definite decision has been made at this time. Cost will be a deciding factor. Blank said we will print several 11 x 17 maps, for the public to have if they wish, and a number of booklets will be printed on the greenway plan, which would also be available to the public at a minimal cost. Fiemann asked about the land for an elementary school. Blank said the school district has purchased land on County Road 47 and Dunkirk for this school. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Construction began on the Millennium Garden. Arbor footings and foundations are in, the hole for the fountain has been dug. Contractors are scrambling to move heavy equipment into place, because road restrictions will be placed in the near future. We will add a little article in the next city newsletter advertising that people can still purchase bricks, etc., or make donations. We've raised about $310,000 so far along with the City's $200,000. b. Hilde Performance Center. The water line is in and sewer line construction has begun. That will be finished in three or four days. Structural steel will be arriving tomorrow. At PRAC Minutes/February 2002 Page 5 the end of the month the long span 50 foot arched blue beams will arrive. We're on schedule. The Civic League is planning a reception for Al and Jayne Hilde on Sunday, June 30th. PRAC will be invited. Music in Plymouth is July 2. We're down to selecting colors. So far, a yellow scheme and a blue scheme are being considered. c. Greenwood Sports Complex. Baseball teams will commence playing on June 1. There will be one uniform sign at the main entrance. We will design it, and the school district will help fund it. There will be a grand opening, date to be determined. d. West Medicine This future of this project is in question. The ground is very poor below the building. We cannot find a place to support a structure. We are going to recommend abandoning the project and continue with using satellites. We cannot justify $270,000 for bathrooms. If the Council wants the bathrooms, we will go ahead. Piers have to be driven down 35 feet to support structure. A permanent building will be there in about five years, so until then we will continue with satellites. We may be able to rent a portable trailer style toilet facility, which is a little higher class than satellites. Councilmember Hewitt recommended that we get them cleaned more often. We were not happy with our satellite service last year, but we have a new provider this year. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Annual Report approval. Blank stated this item needs to be approved and fowarded to the City Council. Blank stated that it's important to celebrate grand openings. The manufacturer has asked to participate in the grand opening of the skate park, along with Sports Hut. The baseball association will want to do something for the first games at Greenwood. The Mud Lake neighborhood park will be a big project in 2002. Some special facilities to research include a bike park and dog park. Third sheet of ice at the Ice Center has been discussed. The Northwest Greenway will move into development phase. Seniors are excited about the Plymouth Creek Center. The youth are still looking for options for a place to call home. We have a renter in the basement of the Plymouth Creek Center. We don't want to move him out just yet. The 10th playfield will be a primary acquisition for us. We have an old warming house at Ridgemount that needs to be improved. Our maintenance crews will take a look at that and come up with some type of plan. Youth survey came back, and Regina will come to a meeting and talk about that. We are hearing that kids are not really very interested in coming to a City facility for a teen center. Fiemann stated that he's heard lots of complaints about outdoor ice this winter. He wondered what it would cost to do a rink or two like the John Rose Oval. The John Rose Oval is an artificial rink and is completely refrigerated, Blank said. MN Amateur Sports Commission funded it. We have asphalt on one of our rinks on Fernbrook Lane. It costs us about $20,000 to asphalt a rink. It would cost more to use concrete. We have a budget for when skating rinks open. We try to open them on or about December 20th. In a normal winter, rinks would be ready by then. Blank had a meeting with the Wayzata Hockey Associations. They asked if they could put piping in under a rink, but then they discovered it was too expensive. Blank explained that you have to buy compressors and a building to store them. This also involves grooming the rinks, probably every other hour. We are willing to work with them, but maybe it's better to put money into a third indoor rink. Providence Academy may be interested in a third PRAC Minutes/February 2002 Page 6 sheet of ice at the Ice Center. Fiemann asked Hewitt if she had any suggestions for 2002 work plan. She didn't have any additions. Anderson commented on how popular the Plymouth Creek Center has been. MEYER MOVED TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL REPORT AS PRESENTED. WEIR SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. Blank thanked commissioners for a good year. b. Mud lake. SRF is the consultant for this new park. They are also the consultant for four different planning components all coming together in the vicinity of Mud Lake. Next week, a staff meeting is being convened with the Highway Department, Three Rivers Park District, our engineering staff, etc. Number one thing is crossing Highway 47. There will be a quick study on the possibility of an underpass under 47. The entire neighborhood has been invited to the first planning meeting on February 27. One neighborhood meeting may be all that is necessary before the master plan comes to PRAC on March 14. If a second meeting is necessary, it would be on March 6. PRAC approval on March 14 would allow the plan to move forward to the City Council in early April. A contract could be awarded in early June, so construction would begin shortly thereafter. The neighborhood is petitioning to change the name of the lake to Lake Camelot. The park could then be called Camelot Park. Musliner asked if it was customary to have the consultant design the playground. Blank said we do that in—house. The consultant just suggests the best location. Consultant gets permits, which is time consuming and technical in nature. The underpass is another area where they could get involved. The only time County Road 47 is busy is during morning and afternoon rush hour. We need to get across to parents that they are responsible for their children and getting them safely to the park, if they are not old enough to cross the street alone. We can list a number of parks with high traffic volume where we have no overpasses or underpasses. We do want to clean up the lake. We've been working with the DNR, and they are giving us the green light to drain lake this summer, by opening a culvert, which will take out 90% of the water. When it's dry in the fall, we will disk the bottom, and then in the spring, plug it back up and refill it. We will have to do a floating boardwalk, and it will be easier to do this when the lake is empty. We expect to start that process in the summer, if the DNR continues to support us. c. East Beach repairs. Staff is going to the City Council at their next meeting requesting approval to do repairs here Blank said, along with Zachary Playfield parking lot repairs. d. Medicine Lake Sailing Club. Blank stated he was approached by the Medicine Lake Sailing Club, which currently rents slips from Joe Harty. They want to increase size of the Sailing Club but have no way to do that. The City owns property north and south of Harty's site. The Sailing Club has asked if we would consider leasing property so they could put docks out and moor some additional sailboats. The problem is parking, Blank said. There's no place to put additional parking. The Sailing Club tried to work something out with Joe Harty for parking, but he is not interested. The Sailing Club will probably continue to pursue this issue. Harty's is a non—conforming use. He is not allowed to grow. Resolutions have been passed by the Council limiting him to so many slips for renting boats. The neighbors don't want any additional parking. He's a business in a residential area. We have to provide ice fishing access to Medicine Lake. We have PRAC Minutes/February 2002 Page 7 one access on the west side, and one on the east side located at Harty's. Blank is anticipating that the Sailing Club is going to come back asking to rent an area on the south end of East Beach. The lake is shallow there, Blank said. Rezabek asked if we could do a City dock that people could rent. We have already considered this Blank said. Neighborhood didn't want that. Harty has a waiting list of people wanting to rent slips from him. Musliner asked about the possibility of satellite parking somewhere else 'and shuttling to the site. Blank said they may go to Ryerson Steel and ask to park there. The Sailing Club doesn't want to launch boats from French Park, because the process of rigging each boat is very time consuming. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION Musliner asked about some digging taking place on Dunkirk, along 25th. Blank said perhaps it's ditch cleaning. This is a very overgrown site. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION None. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m. Mar 01 Z98Z 14:47:05 Via Fax -> 763+589+5868 Administrator T `- a J J r • -Fr1aFx - y a A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities House and Senate Override Governor's Veto Not out of the woody yet? On Thursday morning, the Senate completed the override of the governor's veto of the House/Senate budget compromise. The bill now becomes law and the governor must begin implementing a $2 billion combination of budget cuts and the use of state reserves contained in the bill. Fortunately, the new law does not contain any cuts in LGA or the market value homestead credit. However, TIF grant funding has been redirected to balance the state budget. The veto override does not mean that the state's budget is completely balanced for the remainder of this biennium. The release of the state budget forecast on Monday revealed that the state now has an additional $439 million deficit to address. House and Senate leaders have indicated that they will begin the process of crafting a "Phase 11" budget -balancing proposal yet this week with potential committee deliberations as early as next week. Given that the Phase 1 package drew heavily from state reserves to balance the first $2 billion of the state's shortfall, there may be little further opportunity to draw from other state reserves. This could translate into the need for deeper cuts in state spending, including potential cuts in local government aid and the market value homestead credit reimbursement. However, there may be ways for the legislature to avoid cuts yet this year. The governor had included in his original supplemental budget proposal a refinancing of more than $200 million in transportation projects. The House and Senate could use this mechanism to free up resources to temporarily cover the current deficit. In addition, there may be resources available in the tobacco endowment that could be used to balance the short-term deficit. Also, there has been some discussion of recapturing some of the "surplus" that has accrued to the highway user tax distribution Page 001 Of BBZ March 1, 2002 fund due to the increase in automobile sales tax receipts that have resulted from extremely low financing incentives by the automobile industry. Even if the remaining $439 million deficit is covered without affecting city aid payments, there may be one additional event that could trigger additional cuts. At the Monday budget forecast announcement, Finance Commissioner Pam Wheelock mentioned that the department might prepare an August budget forecast if future economic indicators suggest that the February forecast might need to be updated. This forecast could serve as a rationale for the governor to call a special session or for the governor to employ his unallotment power to reduce state expenditures. How likely is this event? Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan indicate that he believes the recovery from the current recession could be slower than first thought. In addition, given the governor's criticism of the House/Senate budget compromise, he might enjoy calling a special session just a few months before the November redistricted election. Enjoy your summer! Sviggum Invites Public to "Open Office" to Offer Budget Input House Speaker Steve Sviggum (R -Kenyon) is inviting the public to his office in St. Paul on Monday to offer their ideas and insight on the second phase of balancing the state budget. All day on Monday, March 41h, will be dedicated to open meetings and calls with citizens. "The bipartisan balanced budget agreement that went into law today was a major first step, "said Sviggum. "But there is a lot more work to do and some tough decisions will be required. That's why I want citizens to have every opportunity to let their views be heard."

The only two rules Sviggum is using for his "Open Office" day is that citizens will be met with before any lobbyists seeking to meet with him and that his office is open to the press throughout the day. Presumably, mayors and councilmembers are not lobbyists. What: Speaker of the House Steve Sviggum's Open Office Day No appointment needed --telephone calls also welcome Where: Office of the Speaker 100 Constitution Avenue 463 State Office Building Saint Paul, MN 651.296-2273 When: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday March 4, 2002 LMC Legislative Conference The annual LMC Legislative Conference was held Thursday, February 28th in Saint Paul. Over 100 delegates listened to a morning filled with speakers on the state budget scenario and a presentation on the emerging legislative topic known as CrimNet. Participating in the morning legislative panel were Rep. Ron Abrams (R -Minnetonka), Rep. Jim Knoblach (R -St. Cloud), Finance Commissioner Pam Wheelock, and Revenue Commissioner Matt Smith. Although two key senators had tentatively confirmed, neither Senator Moe (DFL -Erskine), nor Senator Pogemiller (DFL -Minneapolis) were able to attend due to the Senate's floor session in the morning. Each of the panelists stressed how difficult the second phase of the budget balancing exercise would be, given that the "easy" fixes had already been employed in the Phase I package. According to Representatives Abrams and Knoblach, discussions among House and Senate leadership have begun but no final compromise has been reached on how the second phase of the budget - balancing exercise will be accomplished Page BBZ Of BBZ March 1, 2002 Representative Abrams did speculate on issues yet to be resolved in last year's tax bill, including his belief that the LGA formula should be revisited in the near future. His original plan to reform LGA would have included using the $14 million set aside in last year's tax bill for LGA reform. Those funds have now been used in the recent House -Senate budget balancing proposal and that without some additional resources, he believed that reforming the system will be more difficult. He did stress that when LGA reform is initiated, he will certainly insist that it will be a two-way dialogue between city interests and the legislature. After lunch, attending city officials headed to the Capitol to visit with their legislators. With the drama of the veto override and the pace of the session due to the committee deadlines, it was a important day for city officials to be at the Capitol. Second Committee Deadline Today? Today marks the second committee deadline where policy bills must be reported out of all policy committees in both houses. Bills that do not meet the deadline are technically "dead" for the session. The committee deadlines are enforced to narrow the focus of the legislature during the final weeks of the session. Although the deadlines mean that some of the "good" LMC initiatives are dead for the session, the deadlines also mean that many "bad" ideas are dead as well. This deadline is now apparently open to some interpretation. According to some members, the House and Senate never adopted joint rules spelling out the committee deadlines and therefore the deadlines technically do not exist. Don't worry. The committee chairs have announced that they are observing the deadlines. In any event, we will keep looking over our shoulder and under rocks to make sure that "bad" ideas are not reincarnated. We will have an update on some of the living and the dead in next week's Cities Bulletin.
