August 5, 1988
TO: MEMBER MAYORS, DELEGATES AND MANAGERS /ADMINISTRATORS
FROM: VERN PETERSO IVF, ECUTIVE DIRECTOR
ROGER PETERS DIRECTOR OF LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS
RE: AMM AND METROPOLITAN ACTIVITIES OF IMPORTANCE
1. TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD (TAB) NOMINATIONS:
Ten positions on the Transportation Advisory Board are reserved for
municipal elected officials. (The TAB By -Laws specify that the
AMM has the responsibility for nominating these officials). It is a
two year term and the new terms will commence October 1, 1988. The
AMM Board will be making these nominations at its September Board
meeting.
The TAB is a very important body and provides general transportation
advice and counsel to the Metropolitan Council, Regional
Transportation Board and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, etc. One of its most important functions is to
annually determine the FAU project funding priorities. The TAB
normally meets the third Wednesday afternoon of each month in the
Metropolitan Council Chambers.
RECOMMENDATIONS WANTED:
The AMM Board is soliciting recommendations for these positions via
this Bulletin. Recommendations must be in writing and should be
submitted to the AMM Office, to the attention of Vern Peterson, by
no later than Wednesday, August 24, 1988.
2. VACANCY ON AMM BOARD:
Due to the resignation of John Walker, former Mayor of Newport, from
the Board of Directors, there is a vacancy on the AMM Board. The
AMM Board is responsible for the general management of the affairs
of the Association and supervises the administration of the AMM office
and affairs through the Executive Director. The Board meets the
first Thursday night of each month at 7:00 P.M. in the AMM office at
183 University Ave., East., St. Paul.
- 1 -
183 university avenue east, st. pau!, minnesota 55101 (612) 227 -4008
NOMINATIONS WANTED:
The AMM Board is soliciting nominations via this Bulletin.
Nominations should be in writing and should be submitted to the AMM
Office by no later than Wednesday, August 24, 1988. The Board is
likely to give preference to nominations from the East Side of the
metro area to maintain geographical balance.
3. 1989 PROPOSED METROPOLITAN COUNCIL WORK PROGRAM AND BUDGET:
The Metropolitan Council has scheduled a public hearing for 10:00
A.M. on Monday, September 12 to receive input on its' proposed 1989
Budget and Work Program. The AMM's Metropolitan Agencies Committee,
Chaired by Kevin Frazell, Mendota Heights Administrator, will review a,
assess that proposal and prepare a report for the AMM Board's
consideration. The AMM Metro Agencies Committee will begin its
review at a noon meeting in our offices on Thursday, August 11th. and
Dave Renz, the Council's Executive Director and other Department
Heads are expected to be present to brief the committee and answer
questions. Your input and or attendance at this meeting is welcomed.
The AMM is usually the only group or organization that reviews and
offers comment to Council's yearly budget proposal and we feel it is
an important public service for the residents of this region.
4. LAWSUIT ON DISPARITY AID FILED:
The lawsuit challenging the constitutionability of the disparity aid
element of he 1988 Omnibus Tax Act, has at last been filed. The
plaintiff is a resident of Roseville and the suit was brought in
Ramsey County District Court . It is expected that the suit will be
transferred to the Tax Court in the near future. As was noted and
explained in the last AMM Bulletin dated July 12th., the AMM Board
of Directors is supporting this lawsuit which was initiated by the
Municipal Legislative Commission. We will keep you posted as this
legal challenge progresses through the Courts.
5. REVISED METROPOLITAN SIGNIFICANCE RULES READY FOR PUBLIC HEARING:
The AMM through its Metropolitan Agencies Committee, as has been
noted several times in recent Bulletins and Newsletters, has been
engaged in a year long dialogue with the Metropolitan Council over
the content of the revised rules. This effort will end in the near
future as the Council will be holding a public hearing on the final
draft of the 'Significnace Rules' in late September. We are happy to
report that out of the 12 concerns /disagreements raised by the AMM
Committee, 10 of them have been resolved to the AMM's satisfaction!
We will continue to negotiate in hopes of resolving the remaining
differences and the AMM Metropolitan Agencies Committee will hold
its final meeting on this matter on Thursday noon, August 25th.
EPAE
r_S.
Please do not hesitate to contact Vern Peterson (227 -4008) should
you have questions regarding this matter.
6. AMM OUTREACH BREAKFASTS - VERY SUCCESSFUL!!
The third annual series of local official outreach breakfasts have
just been completed. They were, by any measure, very successful.
Eighty participants from 41 member and 3 non member cities
attended the five regionally located meetings and provided a
significant amount of issue oriented input. The meetings were very
animated and did not lack for strong opinions on many items ranging
from comparable worth to land use to truth in taxation. The input on
policy is now being discussed and acted upon by the AMM policy
committees which will continue to meet through September. Possibly,
as beneficial to the AMM staff, Board, and attending officials
as policy, is discussing AMM goals and how we as an organization
can better communicate and be strengthened. Good suggestions for
the legislative contact program and interaction with members was
received and is being acted upon. We will continue to improve local
official interaction with more opportunities for participation.
7. LEGISLATIVE CONTACT PROGRAM:
The Board appointed Legislative Coordinating Committee is currently
looking at results of last years contact program and discussing
input from the Outreach Breakfasts. This promises to be an
interesting and exciting year of evolutionary growth. Two primary
areas of increased activity will be more in depth education for
contact persons and an effort to have local officials and their
legislators meet in small groups to concentrate lobbying a few of the
extremely.important AMM issues. Scheduling for these meetings will
be targeted for November after election through December prior to
convening of the legislature. A third new activity being
investigated is a pre election survey of legislative candidates in
key city issues. Based on last years results, it became clear that
the coordinator intern must be on board earlier, therefore, a search
will begin soon leading tc a possible October start date. Finally,
local officials are still very much interested in a 'score card'
report of how their particular legislator voted on city issues.
The committee will continue studying this item to determine an
appropriate way to provide that information without incurring
legislative backlash as has been feared in the past. The committee
is developing a mission or program goal statement and compiling a
list of possible activities that will help promote and understand
the need for this effort with member local officials.
8. MAJOR DISCUSSION ISSUES FOR 1989 -1990
COMPARBLE WORTH. One of the hottest topics for the policy committee
in 1989 is standards for the implemention of pay equity.
Disagreement as to the satisfactory range of pay and which employees
-3-
should receive pay equity increases among legislators, state
officials, and local plans are commanding significant attention.
LAND USE RECODIFICATION. The Governors Task Force on State and
Local relations proposed some major recodification and unification
of land use control statutes in the last session. Within the
legislation were controversaay surrounding increased Planning
Commission authority and changes in what constitutes a variance. The
AMM interceded and helped cause a delay in action until 1989.
TRUTH IN TAXATION. A new gimmick found in the 1988 Tax Law
patterned after a Florida law is unworkable as passed. The Revenue
Committee will review this issue and make recommendations to the
membership on whether it should be opposed supported, modified to
work ad /or pushed as a trade off for levy limits.
Discussion to date has already centered on the advisability of
cities opposing 'truthfulness'. This may be one of those issues where
you are doomed if you do and doomed if you don't.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING. Last year was supposed to be the year
of non controversial fixing for some minor problems. It turned into
a donnybrook requiring a significant effort to stave off real
inroads in TIF useability. Next year promises to be even more
difficult since the authors in both houses have promised to look at
TIF microscopically and to eliminate its 'many abuses'.
PROPERTY TAX. This is a generic term that encompasses many
subissues such as Levy Limits, Homestead Credit, Local Government
Aids, Special Levies, etc. AMM committee members are faced with the
task of determining if Homestead Credit as we know it or with an
increased circuit breaker program must be preserved or can it be
replaced by an 'aid' program? Levy Limits have become more
restrictive regardless of the state revenue situation. How much
longer can cities exist at current levels? Can trade offs be made
for core public i^f:,rmation an involvement? These and other revenue
issues will be discussed at length.
METRO OUTSTATE FUNDING SHIFTS. Recent years have seen an increasing
imblance of state revenue collection (64% of total from metro area
in 1986) to state aid and credit distribution (46% total to metro
area in 1986). These percentages are widening at an ever increasing
rate through school aid changes, Local aid program changes, the
Greater Minnesota Corporation funding, etc. The AMM will be
investigating policy to slow or reverse the increasing imbalance.
AIRPORT. The need for an expanded or new airport and possible
location of a new airport is going to be a major topic in the
metropolitan areas in the next few years. The AMM has been
requested by members to look into the issue . Given its magnitude
and controversial nature, it probably, will not be solved this
-4-
_._.T `F
year but studies and discussion will begin.
DISTRIBUTION NOTE:
This Bulletin has been mailed to Mayors, Delegates and
Managers /Administrators only. Please distribute to other
officials in your city as you deem appropriate.

The meeting will provide an opportunity for you to discuss the issues of
Recycling in the commercial /industrial sectors of the Cities of Hennepin

Hennepin County in the future is requested.
A task force was recently formed by Hennepin County with Commissioner Mark
Andrew as chairman and made up of several mayors or councilmembers from
the Cities within Hennepin County. One of their tasks will be to
recommend a course of action to the full County Board of Commissioners
that will shape Recycling activities for the future in Hennepin County.
This is your opportunity to provide an input; don't sit back and wait to
provide your input after a course of action has been implemented.
Although the discussion will be primarily in the commercial /industrial
area, all haulers are encouraged to attend.

Dear Ms. Wernimont:

PLYMOUTR
OF NATURAL PRESERVE BETWEEN OAKWOOD HILLS 1ST AND 2ND
IMPERIAL HILLS 5TH AND 6TH ADDITION TO SCHNEIDER LAKE
As a result of a complaint, the City's weed inspector issued a cutting order
for weeds adjacent to the drainage area lying between Oakwood Hills 1st and
2nd Addition and Imperial Hills 5th and 6th Addition.
Subsequently, we received the petition from property owners in the area
requesting that the drainage creek area be declared a "natural preserve"
under the City's nuisance weed ordinance. Such a declaration allows
vegetation to exceed the 8 inch maximum set forth in the City Code, but does
not exempt the area from elimination of noxious weeds.
At their August 1 meeting, the City Council considered this issue and heard
testimony for and against the proposal. Considering the number of
signatures on the petition and the fact that this area has long been in a
natural state, the City Council approved the request by adoption of the
attached Resolution 88 -463, declaring the area a natural preserve, effective
August 1, 1988.
I have attached a contour map to give you a better idea of the area which
has been declared a natural preserve. It is the area of the creek which is
subject to periodic flooding as shown on the attached contour map. Areas
outside of this line are still subject to the 8 inch vegetation height
maximum.
I have provided a copy of this letter and the attached map to the City Weed
Inspector for his information. I expect that he will be reviewing the area
to determine if cutting notices should be issued for unmaintained areas
outside of the newly declared natural preserve. If you have any questions
o this subject, pl ase contact Glenn Upton, our Weed Inspector.

Re: Comparison of Interest Rates on $3,950,000 G. 0. Improvement Bonds and
$1,025,000 G. 0. Tax Increment Bonds
Dear Jim and Dale:
On August 1, the Plymouth took bids on the above bond issues. The July 29,
10 -year Dain Index was 6.95% a 15 basis point increase compared to 6.807 at
the time of our June 13 financing report. For the Improvement Bonds we
estimated a 6.257 average coupon rate and estimated an average rate of 6.75%
on the Tax Increment Bonds.
Following is a comparison of Plymouth rates to the only comparable Minnesota
bond sale this week.

The Golden Valley bid continued out to 1999. Based on this comparison,
Plymouth has once again demonstrated its ability to trade solidly in the
financial markets. The City received very competitive bids and was justified
in awarding the sale of both issues.

or better as of May, 1988.

Dear Mr. Willis:
Graham Development Co, and CSM Corporation are proceeding in the
preparation of the necessary plans for preliminary plat, preliminary

nection with the above referenced planned residential development.
Because both developments are expected to begin site grading this
construction season, we would respectfully request the City initiate
the necessary actions in preparation of the plans and specifications
and ultimate construction for County Road 61 along the length of the
P.U.D.
We would request that you consider this letter a formal petition and
inform Graham Development Co. and CSM Corporation of the requirements
and provide a preliminary timeline for the completion of County Road

We understand that Hennepin County will have an opportunity to re-
view the documents and specifications of our residential plans. These
will be made available during the preliminary plat and preliminary
plan review.
Kindest regards,
