RE: IMC Policy Adoption Meeting -- Rules Governing the Adoption of
Policies
Attached are the proposed rules for the League of Minnesota Cities,
Policy Adoption Meeting on Wednesday, November 16 at the Hotel Sofitel
in Bloomington. These rules have governed policy adoption meetings at
past Legislative Conferences and Policy Adoption Meetings.
The rules will be proposed for adoption as the first order of business
during the policy adoption session. Please carefully review Section 5.
Special Consideration and Section 8. Number of "All Priorities. Below
is a brief summary of these sections.
How to Introduce Additional Legislative Policies (Section 5)
To introduce a new legislative policy for consideration which has not
been recommended by the Legislative Committee or policy committees,
two-thirds of the delegates present and voting must approve the
addition of the policy to the agenda. If approved, the new policy must
be submitted in writing and distributed to the delegates for their
consideration.
To change a proposed policy's language or to take a position which the
appropriate policy committee chair or representative states was
considered by the committee, may be placed on the agenda by a vote of
the majority of the delegates (see Rule #3 regarding Committee
Reports). Substitute policy language must be submitted in writing to
the chair prior to debate.
Changes in Policy Priorities (Section 8)
As in the past, the recommendations from the Legislative Committee
include established priorities for each Policy. A city official may
propose a change in any priority assigned to a Policy. The rules
governing this procedure (Section 8) establish that if a policy is
elevated to an "All priority, another policy within that same section
must be reduced in priority.
This issue has arisen when city officials have desired to create
additional "All priorities. The rules attempt to see that only a
limited number of "All priorities are ultimately approved simply because
the League does not have the resources to work on an unlimited number
of "All priorities.

Coordinator Dillerud presented the Staff Report
indicating that there would be 18 less Units
than previously approved, with the reduction in
the townhouse area. On Page 2 of the Staf f
Report some changes have been made. Change the
date of the petitioners letter to August 10,
1988. The Pineview Lane realignment is done,
and the Bonus Points should be 3 in paragraph b.
Coordinator Dillerud suggested change in
Condition #13, The phrase "occupancy permits"
should replace "building permits."
Commissioner Marofsky questioned the private
open spaces being called out -lots. He also
asked whether the townhouse plan will be
reviewed by the Planning Commission.
Coordinator Dillerud said the Preliminary Plan
would be presented tonight, and will appear
later in more detail with the Final Plan.
Commissioner Zylla questioned the private open
space and townhouse area. Coordinator Dillerud
said access is a concern but not the size of the
area.
Chairman Pauba introduced Mike Gair, 2021 East
Hennepin, Minneapolis, representing Bass Lake
Hills. He presented the plan for the developer
using board drawings and slides. He showed
similar sites done by Graham/CSM where care was
taken to protect the environment.
Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing.
Tina Heikkinen, 5520 Sycamore Lane, Plymouth,
questioned the price of homes in the
development, and who is responsible for the
landscaping on County Road 61. Her concern is
that the homes are of equal value to existing
homes. She had missed the earlier discussion.
Commissioner Plufka said that the Tree
Preservation Ordinance would be adhered to.
Planning Commission Minutes
October 26, 1988
Page 253
Commissioner Plufka mentioned that the plans are
preliminary. Chet Harrison, City Engineer, said
that once the plans are approved for County Road
61 work would proceed under City contract.
Nancy Stevens, 5725 Rosewood Lane, Plymouth,
questioned when the west side of County Road 61
would be developed and the zoning. Chairman
Pauba stated that the zoning will remain as
originally zoned. Commissioner Plufka explained
zoning is consistent with land use.
Nancy Stevens questioned if the planned road
allowed space for a bike trail on the east side
of County Road 61. Mike Gair said there would
be a trail. Stevens also expressed her opinion
on the worthlessness of existing open space in
Bass Lake Heights. It is not useable or
functional.
Chairman Pauba expressed his feelings that he is
not proud of the open space in the Bass Lake
Heights area. He also stated that undeveloped
open space is important, can be passive, and
allows more privacy rather than looking out into
your neighbor's yard.
Ms. Stevens was concerned about the size of the
2.1 acres of open space in the development. Mr.
Gair stated that City staff has directed him to
find a means to move people to the open area.
Steve McNattin, 12625 -58th Ave. N.., Plymouth,
questioned the completion date of the three
areas. Mr. Gair stated the order would be 1)
Pineview Lane, single family development, as
soon as possible, 2) Townhomes off County Road
47 next, estimated completion -May 1989, 3)
Southern portion depending on the County Road 61
construction schedule.
Mr. McNattin also was concerned about the water
pressure in the area, and the traffic that will
be directed onto County Roads 10, 47 and
Pineview Lane. He also stated that the multi-
family homes were too close together and that he
didn't feel it was good to have single family

Chairman Pauba mentioned that the multi -family
development is less dense than allowable under
the Guide Plan.
McNattin stated he disliked the design of the
transition area but the reduced density looks
better.
Commissioner Plufka suggested the petitioner
rethink the buffer area.
City Engineer Chet Harrison discussed the water
pressure problems and the rerouting of traffic
during development.
Ron McClurg, 5615 Sycamore Lane, Plymouth,
questioned the timing of the development until
roads are improved along the southern part.
City Engineer Chet Harrison discussed road
completion. Mike Gair said traffic will not be
through Bass Lake Heights.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that if the
application was approved tonight it would go to
the City Council on November 7.
Chairman Pauba closed the Public Hearing.

Please distribute to governing body members
Tax-exempt interest rates (BBI) have not come down significantly, but have improved greatly compared
to taxable rates. The October 7th BBI was at 7.53% compared with 20 -year U.S. Government obligation
yields of 9.18%, or the BBI was 82.0% of U.S. Government Obligations. At the end of May, the
comparison was 7.96% versus 9.35%, or the BBI was 84.8% of U.S. obligations. Tax-exempt bonds are
becoming more efficient.
EFFICIENCY OF TAX-EXEMPT BONDS
Credit Markets, a trade paper, published my essay arguing for increasing the efficiency (lowering
interest rates) of tax-exempt bonds by limiting their use and by clarifying the tax laws. In response a
top researcher of a large bond underwriting firm argued that tax exemption is not an efficient
"subsidy". Now we find in September the same firm described how the reduced volume of municipal
bonds has dramatically increased the efficiency of tax exemption.
Recently I spent a week in Tokyo which I last visited in 1945-46 when the City was ashes. Today it is
mile on mile of office buildings. factories and 12.5 million people. Japanese corporations can borrow
money at 6%. while the government sells at 5%. They truly have done an amazing job.
Robert L. Ehlers
BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES
With the drought. you might think rural communities would hesitate to take on school bond issues. In
mid-October several of Ehlers and Associates' clients had substantial school bond issues up for
election. These times require local communities to compete in the local, state and world economies. It
makes sense to undertake building programs in slower times. Prices are lower; quality is better;
interest rates are lower; and local employment and the local economy receive a boost at a critical
time. Repayment occurs later when, hopefully, conditions will have improved.
FISCAL CONSULTING -- SALES VS. SERVICE
A consulting firm cannot afford to support both a large sales force and provide superior service after
being hired. Ehlers and Associates, Inc. does not maintain an expensive sales force, therefore, you may
not see much of us before you interview fiscal consultants. But you see us when it counts -- in planning
and helping you present the financing to constituents. Our clients tell us that it is reassuring to work
with the account executive that they interviewed for the project.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING
Federal support for low income housing has been reduced, but the Tax Reform Act of 1986 provided an
innovative and seemingly generous three-year program of tax credits for owners and investors. In 1987
the credit was 4% for acquisition; 9% for rehabilitation and new construction, but only 4% if a project
used other federal subsidies or tax-exempt financing. Credits in 198B and 1989 are based on a monthly
prevailing interest rate formula that calculates present value credits of either 30% or 70% of qualified
development costs over ten years.
Low income families and the community benefit when the owners, whether profit or non-profit, sell tax
credits to limited partners who contribute equity, which reduces the amount of other financing, adds to
the income stream, reduces the rent, and makes local projects feasible.
Twenty percent of a project's units must be occupied by households with incomes under 50% of area
median income, or 40% of the units must be occupied by households with incomes under 60% of area
median income. The gross rent including utilities must not exceed 30% of the maximum income level
for the particular size of household. If you have any questions on how this may work in your
community, please give us a call.

What You Need
to Know. Now
YOU HAVE HEARD...
... that the Minnesota Legislature
passed a law requiring inspections of
cars and trucks to be sure their
pollution control equipment is
working properly
... that some people may have to have
their vehicles repaired so that they
can pass the emissions testing
AND IT , S TRUE. . .
... but what does it mean to you?
4r.

What is I/M?
I/M is short for Motor Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance, a program to inspect cars and
trucks and make sure they are not dumping excessive polluting gases into the air. That is
the inspection part (in Minnesota, it will not include safety inspections). The maintenance
part refers to the requirement that vehicles that cannot pass the test be repaired and
retested. But don't worry — properly tuned and maintained vehicles with pollution
control equipment in good working order will pass the test!
Are you affected?
Yes, if you live in the seven -county Twin Cities metropolitan area and own a 1976 or later
model automobile, station wagon or pickup truck or van weighing less than 3/4 ton.
Classic, pioneer, collector and street rod vehicles are exempt. Counties included are
Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington. The law affects the
vehicle you drive and the air you brepthe.
Printed on recycled paper
,,, I ,,- 1.
When will it begin?
Not until late 1990 or early 199 1. Before it can begin, the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) must establish I/M rules. Cars and trucks of different ages, sizes and
types will hot be expected to meet the same standards, so the MPCA must set rules for
how much pollution will be allowed and how the program will operate. The standards will
be somewhat less stringent than those the vehicles met when they were new.
Then, because the testing program will be conducted by a private company working for
the State of Minnesota, the MPCA must advertise for bids and select a company to do the
testing. That company will build special test stations throughout the area so that it will be
as convenient as possible for people to take their vehicles in to be tested.
Why s�hould you care now?
One reason you should know about the plans for the program now is because of the way
t
t
the law affects situations in which someone has tampered with the pollution control
equipment on cars and trucks. The Legislature established limits on the cost of repairs
that will be required for vehicles that fail the'testing.
BUT THERE IS AN EXCEPTION. IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH, YOU
WILL BE EXPECTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED TO MEET THE ESTABLISHED
STANDARD FOR THAT VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE COST.
This is important to remember when buying a used car. Be sure the poillition control
equipment is in place and in working condition. Except for tampered vehicles, waivers
will be given for vehicles manufactured before 1981 if the cost of repairs would be more
than $75, and for vehicles manufactured in 1981 or later if the repairs would cost more
than $200. (However, if the repairs are covered by a warranty, then no waiver will be
granted.)
Tampering with a motor vehicle's pollution control equipment is against state and federal
laws. So is selling a car or truck that has been tampered.
I
How will I/M work?
The vehicle's pollution control systems will
be checked visually, but, more important
will be a tailpipe check for pollutants in the
exhaust. If your car or truck fails the
inspection, you will be expected to take it to
your favorite garage or service station, have
it repaired — or repair it yourself — and
return for a recheck.
In most cases, the vehicle's engine will need
only a minor adjustment. And vehicle
warranties will frequently cover the repair
costs. However, if repair costs would exceed
the waiver limits mentioned above, you
would return to the testing site with that
information and receive a waiver.
Want more information?
If you want more information now, you can
get it from the MPCA:s Public Information
Office at 520 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN
55155, or call 296-7769. If the law affects
you, you will receive more information by
mail, television.and radio in time for you to
know what to do to have your car inspected.

It was very nice to meet you on the night of September 13, 1788.
As you requested, I am expressing my impressions and suggestions
to Wayzata Evangelical Free Church's (WEFC) proposed expansion
of its parking facilities.
On October 28, 1987, Mr. Fadden (representing WEFC) stated the
church's parking lot is at capacity on Sundays. I, as well as several
other members of the adjoining neighborhoods, have been monitoring the
parking needs of WEFC this past summer and fall. We have statistics
that undeniably show that, in fact, there is no need for.additional
parking. For example, this past Sunday, October 23, approximately
ten minutes after the start of WEFC's first and second services,
there were 84 and 102 parking spaces available, respectively, in the
WEFC lot and the Wayzata School Administration lot.
The expansion of WEFC's current parking facilities would be
devastating to the property VaIU2S of 6th Avenue North, and
detrimental to the overall property value of Hawthorne Ponds, 8th
Avenue North, and the proposed development that is being planned
around the WEFC expansion.
In fact, Commissioner Plufka, with Commissioner Marofsky concurring,
expressed it best at the October 28, 1987, Planning Commission
meeting when he Stated that he "shared the homeowners' concerns" and
that "the intrusion of the parking lot between residential homes would
be an eyesore and would not be good planning. Not only would property
values be at risk, but drainage prablems would persist and get worse,
and security of the adjoining neighborhoods would become an eOen
greater issue. It seems that the church may have to look at
alternatives such as Multiple Services, or at other property around
the church if possiblo".
Commissioner Plufka brings up an excellent option that I, and my
neighbors, feel is the optimal solution - Additional services.
This is an option exercised by many churches in similar situations,
such as St. Phillip the Deacon Lutheran Church located a few blocks
from WEFC. They ran out of parking space due to growth of the church
and added two services, bringing their total to four. This solution
was not in any way damaging to the naighborhood property values.
�:�- q Ck-.,
Page- 2
My Suggestion to WEFC is to not build the proposed parking lot-.-. i:
(and not pursue any -future parking expansion) and use all parking--.
space currently available. By next fall, when the new elementary
school adjacent to the Wayzata School Administration building is
completed, there will be even more parking available at a distance
that rivals the proposed WEFC parking lot expansion. If WEFC fills
every parking space available, then add another service or two. These
various steps would not only save WEFC an enormous amount of money,
but reduce the stress and anxiety this issue has caused and prevent
the 8th Avenue North, Hawthorne Ponds, and proposed neighborhood from
being consumed by a sea of asphalt.
Thank you for Your time and consideration in this most important
matter.
Sincerely yours,
Bradley C. Borrman

Dear Ms. Nestor:
This letter is in response to your letter of October 12, 1988, requesting our
comments on the church's proposed expansion of its parking facilities.
As a neighbor, with property abutting the unimproved area the church recently
acquired, we naturally have a vital concern in how this property is developed.
At the September 13, 1988 City Council meeting you, or others representing the
church, advised the Council that a letter had been sent by the church to all of
the surrounding neighbors concerning our problems caused by the church property.
However, we and others in the area failed to receive such a letter.
Also, at that same Council meeting, you and the Reverend Vawter made a point of
stressing all of the various activities in which your church participated and
the many ways your facility was utilized by various community groups. You are
to be commended for these activities. However, they are no different from
those our church or other churches in the community provide.
Your October 12 letter seems to take the position that the parking expansion is
inevitable and, therefore, the neighbors should help the church design a plan to
our satisfaction. The City Planning Commission has rejected the church's propo-
sal on at least two occasions, stating that the plans do not meet the criteria
for a conditional use permit. In view of this, we do not feel that we should
devise a plan which your outside land planners could not create, nor do we feel
we are professionally qualified to do so. After all, we do not think that the
church's ownership of this residential property gives them tacit permission to
build a parking lot.
Previous church expansion has had a negative impact on the neighborhood, i.e.,
increasing noise pollution problems at night, increasing personal and household
security risks, causing drainage problems for residents, and creating a
situation where individual members of the church congregation disregard the
property rights of adjacent residential property owners.

The previous church plan, introduced in 1987, would have destroyed substantiar-
natural environment and created a hazard for safe access to a city -developed
recreational park area, as well as reducing residential property values. The
present plan disregards the adjacent residential property owners' concerns for
reduced property values, security and safety, and results in imposing a semi-
commercial appearance on a totally residential area.
The new plan introduces and imposes a 168 -hour -per -week eyesore and increased
security problems into an environmentally unique residential area, in an effort
to solve a two-hour weekly problem for wh*ich the church has failed to factually
substantiate the need. Our neighbors and we have observed numerous empty
parking spaces at both the church and the school administration lots during both
church services, which suggests that the parking problem may be one of percep-
tion rather than reality.
in approaching this situation the church has disregarded the simple solution of
adding a third service to their schedule, or expanding the time between ser-
vices, both of which would alleviate the suggested problem.
We do believe it would be in the best interest of all concerned if the church
would work with a neighborhood committee to study the problem and devise alter-
nate solutions.
Very truly yours,
William \Ennis

Dear Ns. Nestor;
I would like to respond to your letters of October 12 and October 20,
and then I would like to comment on several related issues.
First I would like to list several items on your past proposals which I
have not found favorable. You may consider this my input towards
future proposals.
1) In a 1986 proposal for approximately 270 parking spaces you went
to some trouble to leave undisturbed a drainage holding pond
northwest of my property. The two proposals since then suggest
paving over part of it, and presumably thereby moving it onto my
property. I consider this unacceptable.
2) All three proposals have not addressed drainage problems. You
claim that city guidelines allowed you to build a facility that
is too large for your parking and that therefore the city (and
by default, our neighborhood bear a part of the responsibility
for your problem. I say that city guidelines allowed you to build
a drainage problem, that you are proposing to make that problem
worse, and before you ask the city or neighborhood to help you
with your problem, you should help us with ours. Keep in mind
that both your problem, and our drainage problem, are of your
making.
3) All three proposals have been security nightmares. You should
place two gates to close your existing main lot at night, after
church activities are over. This would still leave dozens of
spots east of your facility always open. If a new lot is ever
built, a third gate should block access to it, except for a few
Sunday hours.
Another rrason that past proposals have been bad for security is
that they have gone out of their way to put the proposed parking
lot in existing and future back yards.
4) All three proposals have been attacks on neiGhborhood property
values. To minimlze tne impact on property values, any future
(2)
lot should:
a) i3order on very few properties— border on streets and"your
own lot instead.
b) .4here you must border on someone's property, you have =.a -
posed paving to within a couple of" giant steps from the
lot line. I would suggest a much more generous buffer.
c) Address security, drainage, traffic, and other concerns
described in this letter.
5) None of your three pror-isals have addressed traffic control or
congestion on highway 101.
6) Two of your three proposals have sug%ested innappropriate traffic
uses of 6th, Narcissus, and/or 8th Avenues.
7) Your proposals would ha:ve damaged the usefulness of the remaining
land to a developer. We do not want property values of the existing
neighborhood attacked by poor development of that parcel.
I would now like to comment on some related issues:
In a few meetings before Planning Commission and the City Council, you
have maintained that our parking lot is often full (7 -To' of Sundays is
one fiGure I reriember�. We, on the other hand, have maintained that
40 - 100 empty spots are com;non. I have to admit that I have seen your
lot full, but I have seen more than that— I have seen that due to the
sceduling of your services, one large contingent arrives just before
another leaves. Therefore, for 5 - 15 minutes on some, but not all,
Sundays, your lot is full. If I were you, and I wanted more parking,
I would do just what you are doing and count empty spaces during this
brief moment, because this data would justify your argument. However,
the neighborhood looks at your lot during your services and Sunday
ochool, and sees large numbers of open spaces. It seems to me and my
neighbors that a little rescheduling could solve most or all of your
problems.
In your letter of October 12, you state that at the November 3 meeting
we "may desire to select and form a committee of neighbors to... work
with the church" and "(the church) will have... additional meetings
with you." I hope to be part of that committee, and hopefully in those
additional meetings we can further define whatever problems the church
faces and propose some solutions to those problems.
Lastly, I would just like to remind you that there are numerous Droblems
with your existing lot. Many have been brouk;ht out at Planning Commission
and City Council meetings. As far as I know, the two res-ponses from the
church have been:
1) That's not a real problem, or
2) We'll solve that problem once we build thn new lot.
(3)
Pardon me for being skepticalm but if you consider our present problems
to not be valid or not worth a6dressing until your new lot is built,
I can see no reason why you will address these problems, or new ones,
later.
I know we have our differences. But 1 still believe the neighborhood
and church can work together to solve the problems of the existing
parking lot, and to define and solve any problems you are experiencin6
now.
6incerely,
Bill Kratoska

SUBJECT: HENNEPIN COUNTY LIBRARY FOR PLYMOUTH
Dear Mr
Because you are seeking election to the Hennepin County Board, I would like
to waste no time in making you aware of an important Issue regarding the
Hennepin County Library system.
In 1988 the Hennepin County Library Board recommended to the Capital
Budgeting Task Force that a library site be identified in Plymouth for 1989
with construction for 1990/1991. Because of funding shortfalls, the Capital
Budgeting Task Force delayed the site acquisition for Plymouth to 1992 and
construction to 1993. As with most capital improvement programs, the later
year projects are normally much more tentative than the first or second year
projects.
You are probably aware that Plymouth is the only major developing community
in the County without a library. Our residents contribute about $1.3
million in property. taxes to the Hennepin County Library System each year.
To the Library Board's credit, it both proposed a Plymouth Librar"in 1989
y
and In the interim has been providing the City with bookmobile service. -
The point is that the Plymouth Library shom1d be scheduled as soon as
possible.
From an equity perspective, it seems odd that the St. Bonifacius Library,
which has the lowest circulation of the system at 20,000 books, three times
less than the next lowest, is still in operation. We understand that the
Library Board could save as much as $35,000 annually if the library was
closed and service replaced with the Bookmobile. In contrast to Plymouth,
St. Bonifacius taxpayers contribute only $16,000 annually to support the
Library System. Moreover, I understand that library services are 'readily
available to St.-Bonifacius residents from three different libraries within
15 minute driving time.

,Dear Mr. Begin:
Enclosed is a copy of the resolution adopted by the Plymouth City -Council -on
October 24 approving the Amusement Center -License for Cotton Club, Inc. The
resolution specifies that �no transfer of corporate ownership -or—control can
occur without express City approval.
It appears there are two items yet to be accomplished to allow issuance of
your licens'e:
1. A police inspection of your facility. Please contact Police Sergeant
John Ward to schedule this required Inspection. The iAspection
should be completed by November 28, 1988.
2. Posting of house rules and hours of operation In one inch high
letters within the facility. This will be checked during the police
inspection.
I have submitted your request for refund of a portion of your lidbnse fet to
Frank Boyles, Assistant City Manager. You originally paid $1,214.55 for a
five-month license period (August 1 through December 31). However, as you
indicated, you could not install the additional licensed machines until
Council approval. We will let you know as soon as a determination is made.
If you have any questions regarding these items, please contact me.

SUBJECT
It has been called to my attention that there is a hoop and pole (half -
bubble type) on 49th and Oakview North. The house has been sold and my
caller wanted to know if this would be left or removed. What would you tell
the caller? Please go for a ride in this area.
As you will recall, during the summer of 1987, two doors away from this
location, a gentlemen on a very hot night was enraged with the speeding on
Oakview and the half -bubble. This gentlemen has since moved. I cancelled
a meeting and went over there. A policeman later came and we discussed the
problem. Later Sergeant Paulson arranged for a speed trap in the area which
involved a lot of police time. While doorknocking in the election, I
received complaints about the speeding, and I tried to tell the residents to
keep their children out of the streets.
I recall you called it to my attention that I had more reauests of this type
than other council members. Frankly, I can't help it that I live in a
developing area where there are many new residents and concerns for safety.
This would have been a good focus for my safety committee idea, but no one
bought into it.
This weekend I received very positive feedback on my safety concerns in
cul -des -sacs and streets, i.e. kids playing in the street under basketball
hoops, snowplowing - what If the snowplow hits the pole, where to put the
snow, cars backing out of driveways into a pole, and aesthetics in general.
One caller wanted to know if hoops were permitted in townhouse complexes?
Do you know?
By the way, one of my callers from the past who received a letter on a hoop
and pole, said he would be happy to take it down if the rest went down.
Anothe r caller this weekend suggested that maybe a millon dollar coverage
requirement on a homeowner policy would be necessary if the poles were left
to stand and also signatures from people living 500 ft. from where a pole
was erected.
Jim, we need some type of policy on this matter.

I am looking forward to some type of resolution to the problem rather than
the way it has been handled by various departments in the past. Resident&
need to know what they can erect and what they can't erect. My concernois,.
that if this continues, we can have poles erected on any street, or .' ,
cul-de-sac. And as a realtor from south Plymouth stated, how would that t
look and what are the hoops doing in the streets in the first place.
Lastly, I know you have been busy with so much going go, but I do hope that
you or your designee will find the time to go for those rides that you used
to and see my conberns and the concerns of the constitutents.

SUBJECT MEETING ON CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS AND EFFECT ON HOUSING MARKET
Last week I attended the Metropolitan Council's meeting on the effect of
changing demographics on the Twin City area housing market. My large
booklet on the subject will be on file in the Manager's office for one
month. I want it back after that time.
It was certainly a most interesting discussion by various panel
members. Our neighboring communities' were well represented and it is
always a good opportunity to touch base with these people at this type
of meeting.

LETTER OF RECOGNITION
Dear Mike:
This letter of recognition is being awarded to you for exemplary
performance that is far beyond the requirements of normal
responsibilities. Your leadership and outstanding police work
has been recognized by law enforcement colleagues across the
state. Just this week, you received a letter from a Hennepin
County Attorney commending your professional police work on a
very difficult criminal sexual conduct investigation. It is well
known that you are an accomplished instructor and speaker in this
complex specialty field of law enforcement.
In addition to your work that has brought special credit to the
department, you are always involved in routine activities that
result in improved operations. Recently, you drafted a
"Notification to Schools - Interview Form" under MS 626.556 for
the investigation of alleged child abuse cases. Besides the
specific noteworthy contributions, the responsible manner in
which you log in, log out, and carry a pager has provided a high
professional standard for the delivery of effective police
services.
Mike, this letter also reflects my sincere appreciation for the
many times that you supervised the investigation division in my
absence. Your dedication and commitment to duty has earned my
confidence and the respect of'your fellow officers.
