Dear Mayor Tierney:
On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed and the Pentagon was
partially destroyed, all telephone and computer communications were also destroyed or overloaded.
Verizon was and is the communications provider for these two facilities. Verizon also handles the
communications for Wail Street and combined with the World Trade Center and Pentagon destruction, they
now have handled the largest and most complex emergency communications recovery effort in history.
Because of this experience, Verizon is holding seminars across the nation and sharing what "really
happens" and what you can expect to experience if a disaster would happen in your community. This
seminar can provide you with valuable information and I would like to personally invite you to the seminar
and extend the invitation to the top businesses and business leaders in your community.
The speakers will consist of the Head of Operations for Verizon in Manhattan, a speaker from the FBI, the
Department of Homeland Security, and the President of one of the leading companies on cyber terrorism.
There will be specialists from Verizon, Genuity, and IBM who will share information during the lunch
portion of the seminar. They will answer questions regarding your voice, data, network and bunkered data
center operations. All of this information is being provided to help prepare for natural and terroristic
disasters.
The seminar will be held on Tuesday, August 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Radisson South Hotel in
Bloomington, MN. There is no charge for this event. If you would like to invite the upper level
management and the heads of major companies in your community, please forward the names of the
individuals, companies, and e-mail addresses to Judith Egeland at Verizon Communications, 5610 Rowland
Road, Minnetonka, MN 55343 or e-mail them to iudith.egelandnverizon.com. This seminar is by
invitation only and the names need to be received by July 19`h for invitations to be sent out the following
week.
If you have any questions, please contact David Ophaug at 952-988-3253 or me at 952-887-5324.
Respectfully,
Gene Winstead

Shingle Creek/West Mississippi
Watershed Management Commissions
Hennepin County, Minnesota
Dear Managers:
Over the past year the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions
have been jointly developing their Second Generation Management Plan. Various groups have had
input into this process, beginning with an Open House and Presentation for public input last August.
Comments regarding the "state of the watersheds" were received from the attendees and their
concerns were considered as the Commissions began developing the second generation document.
Electronic and paper copies of the August 2002 draft Second Generation Management Plan are
enclosed for your, use and distribution. The Plan will also be available on the Commissions' website
www.shinglecreek.org after July 29, 2002. A comment form is enclosed, or you may submit
comments in the format of your own choosing to JASS as shown on the form. Comments should
be forwarded by September 2, 2002.
The thrust of the Second Generation Plan is to establish water resources priorities for the next ten
years, identify goals, and determine how best to achieve those goals. Diane Spector, MWH, chairs
the Second Generation Plan Steering Committee which began meeting last Fall to outline the Plan
elements. As that process continued a Technical Advisory Committee, made up of city engineers,
agency representatives, and waters specialists, was formed and met monthly to develop goals,
standards, policies and strategies for the next decade.
Last Fall a Communications Committee was also named to develop an education and public
outreach element. This group will be ongoing and is comprised of media specialists from the
member cities as well as individuals from various citizen groups, government agencies and local
media representatives.
In May policy makers (City Managers, City Councilors and Planning Commissioners) came together
as the Policy Committee to discuss quantifiable goals and management strategies, identify policy
issues and begin the process of determining costs associated with a Capital Improvement Program.
The Commissions have completed the first draft of the Second Generation Plan and are beginning
the review and comment period. A second public input meeting has been scheduled for Thursday,
August 8, 2002 at Maple Grove Community Center. An Open House will be held from 6 to 7 p.m.

at 763.595.5268.
Following these presentations and possible revisions to the Plan resulting from public comment, the
draft Plan will be forwarded to the appropriate agencies for review and comment.
The Commissioners appreciate the efforts by city staffs in preparing this Plan. They look forward
to your comments. If you have any questions about information in the Plan, please contact Ms.
Spector at the number above, or Ed Matthiesen, MWH, at 763.595.5265.

Please find attached ridership information for Plymouth Metrolink services through the 2 d
quarter, 2002.
Total ridership through June of this year is running 5.5% higher than during the same period
last year. Plymouth Metrolink is on pace to exceed 400,000 rides in 2002. Dial -A -Ride
services are providing trips at a rate 10.3 % higher than last year, while the fixed route services
are providing 5.2% more trips than last year. By comparison Metro Transit has a ridership
decline through June, 2002, of 7.97%.
Of additional interest, the transit station in The Reserve is under construction and is scheduled
for completion this fall. Seven new transit buses are currently on order, funded by a Regional
Transit Capital grant from the Metropolitan Council, and will be delivered later this year.
Final details are being worked out for the implementation of the technology upgrade for Dial -
A -Ride and will be in place in a couple of months.
If you have any questions please contact Pat Qvale at 763-509-5502 or George Bentley at 763-
509-5521. Thank you.

12075-48 1h Avenue
Plymouth, MN 55442
SUBJECT: STREET REPAIR ON 48TH AVENUE
Dear Mr. Svard:
(I -3a)
I am responding to your July 4, 2002 letter to the City of Plymouth and also want to give you an
update on our plans for improving 48`h Avenue. As I am sure you have observed, City street crews
have been cleaning, sanding and doing some patching work on Jonquil Lane/48`h Avenue and also on
50`h Avenue south of Schmidt Lake Road. In addition, the street supervisor's are closely monitoring
these streets, especially during the very warm days when the crack seal material gets even softer.
As you indicated in your letter and we subsequently talked about, there was some miscommunication
between the contractor and City staff regarding whether or not to proceed with the seal coat operation
on 48`h Avenue. As you noticed, they did attempt to continue but determined that this was a fruitless
effort with the crack seal material coming up and therefore stopped the operation. At that point in
time, there was generally a mess on Jonquil Lane/481h Avenue with crack seal material which
subsequently stuck to your tires. We realize that this material is very difficult to remove as you
indicated. While the City has not determined who is responsible for any damage caused over this
situation, you can submit any claim for damages to me and the City will act accordingly.
I sincerely apologize for the trouble and inconvenience this has caused you and your neighbors. We
intend to rectify the street problems by milling the roadway to remove the surface layer of asphalt
and crack seal material and then City crews will overlay the milled roadway. The milling will need
to be done by a contractor due to the extent of the milling required. We would like to wait until later
in the summer when we intend to take bids on milling and overlaying Larch Lane from County Road
9 to the railroad tracks north of Schmidt Lake Road. Hopefully, the City could then get a good price
for milling the "problem" streets (48`h Avenue/Jonquil Lane/50`h Avenue) at that time.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 763-509-5520.
Sincerely,
Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E.

SUBJECT: OLD ROCKFORD ROADMIGHWAY 55
SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN IlvTROVEMENTS
CITY PROJECT NO. 1033
Dear Property Owner.:
On Friday, July 12, 2002, the City of Plymouth received bids for the Highway 55/Old
Rockford Road Sanitary Sewer and Watermain Improvements. The engineer's estimate
for construction cost was $515,000 and the low bid was $716,844. The low bid is 29
percent higher than the engineer's estimate due in part to extremely high prices for the
sanitary sewer portion of the project. Attached you will find the proposed assessment
costs that were presented at the public improvement hearing held on January 8, 2002,
along with assessment rates based on the low bid which was received on July 12, 2002.
The January 8 assessments were based on an estimated total project cost of $520,872.
The current proposed assessments based on the low bid put the total project cost at
$772,020. Some additional sanitary sewer was added to serve the Rose Garden
development south of Highway 55 and east of Urbandale Court, and is not included in the
above project cost. The Rose Garden sewer will be assessed directly to the developer. A
determination will need to be made and presented to the City Council whether to proceed
with the project based on the bids that were received and the assessment costs associated
with that bid. At this point we will likely recommend that the project be rebid for
construction next Spring, but would like the input of those expected to be assessed prior
to the proceeding. Please call either me at 763-509-5525, or Dan Campbell at 763-509-
5522 to discuss the impact of the costs based on the bids that were taken on July 12,
2002.

July 22, 2002 CITY C
PUMOUTR
SUBJECT: UPDATE OF TRAFFIC ISSUES AT 48TH AVENUE AND BALSAM LANE
Dear Resident:
Currently there are two traffic issues that the City is aware of at the intersection of 48`h Avenue and Balsam
Lane, the location of the existing stop sign and the concern of traffic turning around on 48`h Avenue, west
of Balsam Lane. In response to these issues, the original proposal from the City included relocation of the
existing stop sign from northbound Balsam Lane to eastbound 48`h Avenue, since the west approach of 48ch
Avenue is the minor street approach and is intended to carry less traffic than the other two approaches. In
addition to the stop -sign relocation, the City was planning to install a bump -out on the north side of 48`h
Avenue at Balsam Lane to help guide drivers to turn southbound on Balsam Lane instead of continuing
westbound on 48`h Avenue.
Upon review of these plans by some of the residents who live in the vicinity of this intersection, those
residents expressed concerns regarding both the relocation of the stop sign and the construction of the
bump -out. Residents within a 500 -foot radius of the intersection immediately signed a petition for the City
to consider an all -way stop at this intersection. The petition was submitted June 11, 2002, with support
from 69% of the residents in the 500 -foot radius. In addition, some of the residents were concerned with
the proposed bump -out due to drivers currently cutting the corner from westbound 48`h Avenue to
southbound Balsam Lane, and the potential for this behavior to increase after construction of the bump out.
These concerns were addressed by the City Council on June 11, 2002. At this meeting City staff was given
direction and have proceeded with addressing these concerns in the following manner. The request for an
all -way stop will be on -hold until the street re -construction project is completed. At that time, City staff
will collect the necessary traffic data and will proceed with the petition process for an all -way stop that was
in effect at the time the petition was submitted. In regards to the proposed bump -out, an alternative option
has been considered, which would include two chokers located west of Balsam Lane that would extend four
feet from the curb on each side. These chokers will help to further communicate to drivers that 48`h
Avenue is not a through street. A sketch of the proposed chokers is enclosed. Please review the proposed
design and contact me by phone at 763-509-5535 or e-mail: cstueve@ci.plymouth.mn.us, and let me know
your opinion of the proposed chokers: for, against, or otherwise. Please respond with any comments or
concerns by July 31, 2002.
Sincerely,
J \

Plymouth City Council Members
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear City Council:
I am writing to tell you that I left the city of Plymouth because I could no longer watch the destruction of the
beautiful woods and wetlands that attracted me to Plymouth in the first place.
I tried to stop some of the destruction. Letters did no good, nor did speaking up at Council Meetings. When
you have people like Anne Hurlburt, your City will end up over -populated like Woodbury with no natural
resources left for the people and animals to enjoy.
You have allowed the devastation of Plymouth's natural resources that you swore "To preserve and enhance
the natural environment as land becomes urbanized". Preserve means to safeguard and protect.
It appears you never once thought about the impact your destruction has had on wildlife. Where do the
animals go when you allow the destruction of every tree, hill, land surrounding wetlands, move and change the
dirt, etc? Not only do animals need virgin land to live in, people need it to unwind and be one with nature.
Many people do not want to live in a crowded City with congestion and traffic lights --that is why they moved
to Plymouth in the first place. Also, when you increase the population by 50% or more you also increase the
need for water, sewers, schools, electricity, police, firemen, streets, street signs, traffic lights, etc. by 50% or
more. You may think the increase in population will increase money for the City, but in reality it's a wash.
The more people you have, the more money you spend.
I lived near a woods that I could not bear to watch being torn down just for housing. I tried to call about
saving the woods as a "passive park", but no one was interested. I had to leave my home because of your
destructive ways. Many other people feel the same way --one man in particular, Steve Gardner, has shown the
way you promote destruction on television (and I applaud him). You, as Council members, can change the
course of Plymouth and make it a model City if you stop encouraging expansion.
One thing to leave in your thoughts is that you are elected by the people to "represent the people" but you have
let the people down by representing your own needs and wants.
Sincerely, �--
