Or trying to access a home and couldn't because there were steps? At Dave Regel Construction, Inc. we've designed a home that takes the barriers away. In this home you'll find it easy to roll through the front door, reprocess your own meals, roll into your shower, get into bed, as well as enjoy the full use of the basement. All unassisted. You can even turn on the lights, TVs or open a window by voice command. This home has these features and many, many more. This home will be open for your inspection, by invitation only, on August 191h through the 21St We would be honored if you could attend.........

This event, aptly named WomenBuild Mayors Day, will demonstrate our commitment to affordable housing not only in Burnsville but across the metro area. With so many families in our communities still struggling to find safe and decent housing that they can afford, we, as mayors, can bring our support and our enthusiasm to the forefront by volunteering two hours of our time (1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on August 23`a) at the Habitat site on Aspen Grove Lane. Twin Cities Habitat is currently building 11 homes at that site, two of which are designated as WomenBuild homes. WomenBuild is an annual event where hundreds of women from around the metro area come together to build two or more homes for families who earn between 25% and 50% of the state median income. These families will put in 300 — 500 hours of "sweat equity" helping to build their own home or other Habitat homes — so it is very likely that you will work right alongside a Habitat homebuyer when you join us on August 23`a I have enclosed a map to the site and an informational sheet about the WomenBuild program, but you may also want to visit the Habitat website at www.tchabitat.org for further information. Please RSVP to Sue Olesen at 952-895-4491 by August 10 to let us know if we can count on you to join us on August 23`a. Be assured that you do not need to have any particular construction skills to participate! Habitat site supervisors and crew leaders will show you exactly what needs to be done and how to do it. I look forward to honing my construction "skills" alongside you as together we do something to le about the affordable housing crisis in the metro area. City -70f WomenBuild July 15 — August 23, 2002 Key Messages Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity WomenBuild is a concerted effort of Habitat for Humanity to give women of all ages and abilities the opportunity to participate in all stages of home construction. The site for the Twin Cities 2002 WomenBuild is just off of Burnsville Parkway in Burnsville where three homes will be built by women -led crews. ❑ TCHFH WomenBuild crews will construct two homes in six weeks beginning July 15. The foundations and rough grading of the site will be completed before the start of the event. Wall panels will have been pre - constructed in the panel plant at the warehouse by volunteer crews. ❑ Each workday will require 15-18 general volunteers and 3-4 skilled crew leaders per house. Crew leaders must commit to a minimum of one week of work, and general volunteers must commit to a minimum of two or three consecutive days. Three TCHFH Site Supervisors, Sheryl Shand, Tara Lumley and Rhonda Thorson will be on site for the duration of the project. Additional volunteers will be needed to support the construction crews on site — first aid, drinks, snacks, lunches, communications, tents, etc. ❑ Key messages: WomenBuild addresses the affordable housing crisis and demonstrates that women from all backgrounds can join together and actively work together to help solve this problem. WomenBuild supports the mission of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity by creating even more home ownership opportunities for families in need. WomenBuild provides the opportunity for women to participate in all aspects of home construction in a supportive, empowering environment. This experience will increase the number of volunteers needed to meet the organization's growing construction goals.

WPACIiC f- IQ-, WAYZATA/PLYMOUTH AREA CHEMICAL HEALTH COMMISSION 600 RICE STREET • WAYZATA, MINNESOTA 55391 • 612/473-0234 Dear WPACHC Member, Now that we are a 501 C3 organization it seems a good idea to get together for a little brainstorming to discuss future plans. Several things come to mind. First, although we have been a gathering place and a discussion place for several different community agencies working with chemical health (e.g. school, police, church), we ourselves do very little directly with the exception of the Prom scholarships. What type of activities would we like to sponsor in the future? What kinds of efforts in the community do we want to be a part of? Secondly, there is another broad-based community group (currently called Parents for Prevention) whose mission is to reduce youth access to alcohol. How should we relate to that organization? Thirdly, any activities we do will require funds. Now that we are a 501 C3 we have the opportunity as well as the obligation to seek funds beyond the Lions, who have been so generous to us in the past. What kind of support might we find in the community? I propose a 1 Y2 hour breakfast meeting to discuss some of these topics and get a clearer idea of where we might go in the next year or so. Please attend a 7:00 am meeting Wednesday, August 21St at Central Middle School 305 Vicksburg Lane N. Plymouth, MN 55447 (RSVP to 763-745-5043 or 763-745- 5044). If you are unable to attend please know that we will continue the conversation on September 13th at our regularly scheduled meeting at the High School. See you there!

Only Intemet domains found in the Analysis database are included in region, state, city, Government -F 450 0.20% Military 326 1 0.15% Total 216,118 97.30 Definitions Hit Any connection to an Internet site, including inline images and errors. Request Any hit that successfully retrieves content. Unlike hits, requests are related to content and user behavior. For example, if a user requests an HTML page that has three graphics files, the web server might make a log entry for the three graphics files, the HTML page, and perhaps add some lines for overhead. However, only one request is counted by Analysis. Visit A series of consecutive requests from a user to an Internet site. If your log file data includes referrer data, then new visits begin with referring links external to your Internet site. Regardless of whether or not you have referrer data, if a user does not make a request after a specified time period, the previous series of requests is considered to be a completed visit. User Anyone who visits your site at least once. If your log file data contains cookie data, users will be identified by their cookie . If your log files do not contain cookie data, a registered username is assigned to users. Or, if no registration information is available, users' are identified by their Intemet hostnames. Many organizations use Internet gateways, which mask the real Internet hostnames, so user counts may be conservative for those users identified by their Intemet hostnames. Organization A commercial, academic, nonprofit, government, or military entity that connects users to the Intemet, identified by an entity's Internet domains. Microsoft Site Server Analysis groups together all domains registered to the same organization as one organization. If a domain is unavailable in the database, one Intemet domain is used to identify one organization. Request duration The time between two consecutive requests in the same visit. Visit duration The time between the first and last request of a visit. This time does not include how long users viewed the last request of a visit. Ad request An opportunity to deliver an advertising element to a Web site visitor. An ad request is a measure of the "active technology" that requires the user to interact with the site before a new advertisement will appear. Ad click The opportunity for a Web site visitor to be transferred to a location by clicking on an advertisement, as recorded by the server. Ad click rate The percentage of ad requests that resulted in an ad click.

Faulkner, P.E., Director of Public Works FROM: John M. Hage OE. Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: UPDATE ON TRAFFIC ISSUES AT 48TH AVENUE AND BALSAM LANE The purpose of this informational memorandum is to update the Council on the efforts by City staff to communicate the traffic issues with the residents, as well as the opinions expressed by the neighborhood regarding the proposed chokers. At the June 25, 2002 meeting of the City Council, a petition was submitted for all -way stop control at the intersection of 48th Avenue and Balsam Lane. In addition to the consideration for an all -way stop, the potential to narrow 48th Avenue was also considered at this meeting. This issue was raised because the residents on 48th Avenue expressed concerns that non -local traffic does not realize that 48th Avenue is not a through street even though there is a "Dead End" sign west of Balsam Lane. Originally, in response to this concern, staff designed a bump -out on the north side of 48th Avenue at Balsam Lane to help guide drivers through the intersection to continue on the major route, i.e. south on Balsam Lane. This would also provide a more visible location for the "Dead End" sign. Due to concerns from -residents regarding drivers currently cutting the corner from westbound 481h Avenue to southbound Balsam Lane, and the potential for this behavior to increase after construction of the single bump -out, an alternative option was considered at the June 25, 2002 Council meeting. At that meeting a motion was carried to narrow 48th Avenue on the west side of Balsam Lane, with the construction of two chokers. Staff followed this directive and designed two chokers, located west of Balsam Lane that would extend four feet from the curb on each side (see attached sketch). Since the City Council meeting was more focused on the all -way stop petition, which only included residents within 500 feet of the 48th Avenue and Balsam Lane intersection, staff felt it was important to notify the residents to the west on 48th Avenue of the proposed chokers and update them on the traffic issues in the area. A letter was sent July 22, 2002, to residents within 500 feet of the intersection of 48th Avenue and Balsam Lane, in addition to residents along 481h Avenue, west of Balsam Lane (see copy of the attached letter). City staff requested input from the residents to determine their opinion of the N:\p.�EngineeringkGENERAL'.MEMOS'Johnt2002%48thAve_BalsanLane_Neni3 dm SUBJECT: UPDATE ON TRAFFIC ISSUES AT 48TH AVENUE AND BALSAM LANE Page 2 proposed chokers. The letter was sent to 89 households, and the City received e-mail and phone calls back from 15 residents, 4 (27%) in favor of the chokers and 11 (73%) who were against the chokers. A summary of the neighborhood responses is attached. As directed, City staff will continue with the analysis of the all -way stop sign petition according to the City's stop sign policy later this fall, once the reconstruction project is completed and traffic patterns return to normal. Unless directed otherwise, staff is planning to proceed with the construction of the chokers, which would be built next week in coordination with the street reconstruction project. attachments: Sketch of Proposed Chokers July 22, 2002 Letter to Residents Summary of Resident Responses N:\pw\Engineering\GENERAL\MEMOSUohn\2002\48thAveBalsamLane_Mentl.doe Nvs-lv8 r� Q N > LLV JJ y U 00 n Nvs-lv8 �ITY OF 1U1",,. kY' MOUTF+ SUBJECT: UPDATE OF TRAFFIC ISSUES AT 48TH AVENUE AND BALSAM LANE Dear Resident: Currentiv there are two traffic issues that the City is aware of at the intersection of 48`s Avenue and Balsam Lane. the location of the existing stop sign and the concern of traffic turning around on 481h 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`" Avenue, since the west approach of 481h 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 comer 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.plvmouth.mn.us, and let me know your opinion of the proposed chokers: for, against, or otherwise.

The initial concern was in regard to the speed and volume of vehicles that are currently using Kilmer Lane between 26h Avenue and 18th Avenue. The City has collected a significant amount of data in the area to get a better understanding of the current traffic patterns. Roadway tubes were placed on East Medicine Lake Boulevard, Nathan lane, Lancaster Lane, and Kilmer Lane to collect speed and volume data. In addition, turning movement counts were collected at the intersection of Kilmer Lane and 26`h Avenue to determine where the traffic on Kilmer Lane was traveling to/from. Based on this analysis, the City has determined that there is a significant amount of through traffic using Kilmer Lane, especially during the peak traffic Xeriods. In the City's Comprehensive Plan, Kilmer Lane is classified as a local street between 26 Avenue and 13th Avenue. The function of local roadways is to provide access to adjacent properties and neighborhoods. In addition, they are typically low speed and low volume roadways. However, Kilmer Lane was found to operate more as a minor collector roadway, which typically has higher traffic volumes and collect and distribute traffic from neighborhoods and commercial/industrial areas to/from the busier roadways. Therefore, the City is proposing to place temporary barriers to serve as partial diverters, to reduce the through traffic volumes on Kilmer Lane. Partial roadway closures, or diverters, involve narrowing a two-way street at an intersection to eliminate one direction of travel and thereby reducing traffic volumes. The temporary treatments will be in place for a sufficient amount of time to determine the effect they would have on the adjacent roadway, since we don't want to displace a traffic problem. Once the effect on the nearby roadways has been analyzed, the City will determine if the partial diverters would be a viable permanent solution. At that time, the City will send out ballots, with an estimated project cost, to the neighborhood by mail in order to measure the support from the neighborhood. The City will move forward with a final design and permanent construction of the partial diverters if there is support by 75% of the abutting property owners on Kilmer Lane between 26' Avenue and 18' Avenue, and 50% from the property owners whose property can only be reasonably accessed by using this section of Kilmer. Lane. If there is not a majority support for the proposed diverters, the City will consider revisiting alternatives and may present a revised alternative to the neighborhood for another vote.

Despite the work of the 2002 Legislature to eliminate the $2.289 billion deficit projected for FY2002-03, lagging income tax receipts could mean that the FY2002-03 deficit has not yet been laid to rest. It is possible that the upcoming November or February Revenue Forecasts could indicate a deficit larger than the $319 million budget reserve. If that turns out to be the case, the Legislature will have to tackle the FY2002-03 deficit for a third time. Even if the FY2002-03 deficit has been settled, the FY2004-05 budget deficit is now projected at $1.6 to $2.7 billion, which is 9.5% of the total state budget. Because education, health and human services, and corrections make up 77% of the budget, Commissioner Wheelock stated that it is not likely that local aids and credits (10% of the budget) will be spared in this budget cycle. The MLC will work to ensure that any cuts to LGA or the market value credit are implemented fairly and equitably as the budget is balanced. Shortly after the MLC met with Commissioner Wheelock, she announced that she is leaving the Ventura administration to become the senior vice president and chief financial officer of Minnesota Sports & Entertainment, the company that owns the Minnesota Wild. The MLC wishes Commissioner Wheelock well in this new endeavor. The MLC Update is published by Elizabeth Shields Keating and Thomas J.

At a minimum, 45 incumbent legislators will not be returning to the capitol in January. Of these 45 outgoing legislators, 26 senators and 14 representatives are retiring, and five are paired in a race with another incumbent legislator. Additionally, three legislators who were not endorsed by their party are running, and a total of twelve legislators have primary contests. In addition to the new faces, another noticeable difference in the 2003 Legislature will be the reshuffling of leadership positions. Even if the DFL maintains control of the Senate, significant changes in leadership positions will result due to the retirement of Senate Majority Leader Roger Moe (DFL — Erskine) and Finance Committee Chair Doug Johnson (DFL — Tower), as well as many other veteran members. Nine members of the MLC delegation are retiring in 2002. Some are running for other offices, while others have chosen to end their years of public service to pursue other interests. MLC DELEGATION RETIREES Senator Dave Johnson: Dave Johnson (DFL - Bloomington) was first elected to the Senate in 1996 and quickly ascended to the leadership ranks. He served as Majority Whip and as Vice Chair of the Finance Committee. As a result of redistricting, Senator Johnson was paired in a district with MLC legislator Bill Belanger (R -Bloomington). Senator Johnson will continue to practice law in the Twin Cities area. Senator Ed Oliver: Ed Oliver (R - Deephaven) has served ten years in the Minnesota Senate. Throughout the last decade, Sen. Oliver worked closely with the MLC on property tax reform issues and fiscal disparities. After being paired in the same district as MLC legislator Gen Olson (R-Minnetrista), Sen. Oliver decided to retire from the Senate and run for Hennepin County Commissioner. Unfortunately, health concerns have caused Sen. Oliver to drop out of the Hennepin County race. The MLC extends best wishes to Sen. Oliver for a full and speedy recovery. Senator Martha Robertson: Martha Robertson (R - Minnetonka) was first elected to the Minnesota Senate in 1992. She is widely regarded as a hard working legislator with a firm grasp of the complexities of lawmaking. Sen. Robertson is retiring from the Minnesota Senate to run for Lieutenant Governor on the Independence Party ticket with Tim Penny. o: Senator Roy Terwilliger: Roy Terwilliger (R - Edina) has served in the Minnesota Senate since 1992. Throughout his tenure he distinguished himself as a moderate, thoughtful legislator who was influential in key policy decisions including finance and transportation despite his status as a member of the minority party. Representative Peggy Leppik: Peggy Leppik (R - Golden Valley) was first elected to the House in 1990. She served as Chair of the Higher Education Finance Committee and as a leader in the Republican caucus. Representative Mary Jo McGuire: Mary Jo McGuire (DFL — Falcon Heights) is the longest serving MLC legislator to retire this year. She was first elected to the House in 1988, and leaves the House as the DFL lead on the Family & Early Childhood Finance Committee. Rep. McGuire is another casualty of redistricting: she decided to retire after being paired with her good friend Rep. Alice Hausman (DFL — St. Paul). Representative Tim Pawlenty: Tim Pawlenty (R — Eagan) was first elected to the House in 1992 and currently serves as Majority Leader. He is retiring from the Legislature to run as the Republican Party nominee for Governor. Representative Ken Wolf: Ken Wolf (R — Burnsville) has served in the House of Representatives since 1992. Redistricting placed Rep. Wolf in the same district as MLC legislator Dan McElroy (R — Burnsville), but Wolf's decision to retire was actually due to the offer of a job by the Commerce Department. Rep. Wolf will serve as the "energy czar," a position that fits with Rep. Wolfs experience as Chair of the Regulated Industries Committee. Representative Tom Workman: Tom Workman (R — Chanhassen) was first elected to the House in 1992. He has served as the Chair of the Transportation Policy Committee, and was sympathetic to the transportation needs of congestion -choked suburbs. Rep. Workman is retiring to run for Carver County Commissioner.
