This year we are planning the continental breakfast meetings in convenient "regional" locations and anticipate that they will draw from several MWCC Precincts. The schedule for the 1990 breakfasts is as follows: JUNE 8 - 7:30 A.M. HOLIDAY INN ROSEVILLE _ 2540 Cleveland Avenue (35E & Cleveland - West of Rosedale) JUNE 11 - 7:30 A.M. RADISSON SOUTH, Bloomington 7800 Normandale Blvd. (I494 & Hwy 100) i JUNE 18 - 7:30 A.M. SHERATON -MIDWAY 'l I94 & Hamline Ave, St. Paul When the MWCC held its pre -budget breakfast meetings in March we agreed to provide attendees with a summary of the questions which were raised by the cities' representatives. We have enclosed a synopsis of those questions and MWCC responses. The Commission thanks all those who attended and gave us their input on the proposed 1991 budget. It is very helpful to us to have your comments as we prepare the Commission's budget. We know and understand that wastewater treatment is a major cost in your city's budget and we are anxious to provide our system users with effective treatment at a reasonable cost to everyone. Please plan to meet with us again at one of the scheduled breakfasts for continuing dialogue on our proposed budget. For reservations, please call Eunice at 229-2110. The final opportunity to comment will be at the Commission meeting on July 17, 1990, at Mears Park Centre. Sincerely, Lurline Baker -Kent Chair Sincer , Paul McCarron Chair, Strategic Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Planning Committee •�' ;yes. � 4 .' METROPOLITAN WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION 1990 PRE -BUDGET BREAKFAST MEETINGS QUESTIONS/RESPONSES Five Pre -Budget Meetings were held in March to give municipalities, industrial users, and the Suburban Rate Authority an opportunity to express their concerns and discuss the MWCC 1991 budget. What follows is a brief outline of the concerns brought to the meetings by the users and MWCC's response to those concerns: - Sewer/interceptor capacity: Many communities were concerned about the timing of facility upgrades, expansions, and interceptor sewer construction. Communities wanted to be assured that the MWCC will have capacity to handle treatment needs as their communities expand and grow in the future. The MWCC stressed the need for each community to have up- to-date comprehensive sewer plans submitted to the Metropolitan Council and to inform the MWCC of their city's needs -in order to facilitate MWCC's long-range planning. - Rate Structure Information: Several cities asked the MWCC to provide a short and concise, city specific, explanation of MWCC charges which they could pass on to their residents. Many felt that it would help to explain the reasons for increases in sewer bills. After the 1991 Budget has been finalized and approved, the MWCC expects to prepare brief explanations of the components included in sewer charges for all communities. - Costs for treatment as related to inflation: Concerns were raised that costs of sewage .treatment appear to exceed the cost of inflation. Increasing clean water expectations, 1% per year growth in the system, and nuisance control (noise and odors) are the major reasons our costs are increasing. - Costs as related to higher treatment standards: Some attendees were concerned about costs to MWCC system users for higher treatment standards and whether the degree of wastewater treatment should exceed present standards. These issues have been sent by MWCC Board's Strategic Planning Committee to MWCC's newly formed General Advisory Committee for study and recommendations. i CM 0 25'90 rn- y b - Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA): A great deal of discussion regarding the MUSA line took place. Issues involved in the discussion were: what role areas outside the MUSA would play in paying the costs for expansion of the system; whether the current users of the system should pay for capacity expansion for the new users currently outside the boundaries of the system? These issues have been assigned to the General Advisory Committee for discussion and recommendation to the Strategic Planning Committee. - Stormwater issues: Some asked whether stormwater treatment will be required in the future and who will provide for this treatment? MWCC staff and the new General Advisory Committee will be examining these issues and report their recommendations to the Strategic Planning Committee. - Noise and odor control: There was a question raised as to whether expenditures for noise and odor control are discretionary. MWCC Chief Administrator Gordy Voss indicated that noise and odor controls are not discretionary because expectations of pressures by the public and regulatory authorities for increased standards. - Phosphorus removal: Concerns were expressed over the need for phosphorus removal as part of the treatment process. User groups also questioned whether it is wise to have phosphorus restrictions imposed prior to the completion of studies on the cost/benefits of such removal. The MWCC is close to signing an agreement on a new Metro Plant permit which will be required to adopt standards based on the results of the studies. - Percentage of wastewater flow: The question of percentages of wastewater flow by user groups is as follows: User Group Volume VolfStrength Revenue Domestic 70% 62% 67% Commercial 18% 19% 16% Industrial 12% 19% 17% - Inflow/Infiltration Monitoring: Several cities stated an interest in being involved in the interceptor sewers Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Study. The MWCC will be holding community meetings during the week of June 18-21 to explain the first phase of the I/I Study and afford CIM WAY 2 5 '90 M -Hb opportunities for cities to be involved in the process. - Standards and regulations: Many of the cities, the SRA, and the industrial users expressed an interest in lobbying officials at the, state and federal level for more workable wastewater treatment standards. They requested more background information in order be able to understand the proposed rules and how they could help impact the final rules. - Community involvement: It was suggested that MWCC could make greater use of various city staff. The General Advisory Committee was created to study issues directed to them from the Strategic Planning Committee and make recommendations back to that committee. The composition of the GAC is as follows: eight members representing municipal staffs from the 8 MWCC precincts, eight elected municipal officials, four representatives from industry, four representatives from environmental organizations, and one member representing disadvantaged senior citizens. At this time, there are still some positions available on the GAC. . comment2 r N N u¢ N N = a �N co O 1- ,�, LLf J > > Lh O N M 2 N OI m N M i N N W w z O N u¢ a N =r)ona� x .- .- N co N W t0 N N Q tb - N N f, N N O n N N 2 m m N N h M-5 O 01 Q Ln N Cl \ cr- ul D M O nJ d) r- N M Q LL LO N r. 00 V N N o Z 'rt V z W ¢ rrhh V o LL W z :%i LLJ y a W oc m a : a UOcr �.

Willi 'ty FROM: Charles E. i 1 u , Manager Community Development Coordinator 1_9 SUBJECT: HENNEPIN C TY APPLICATION FOR WASTE TRANSFER STATION (89057) On July 23, 1989 Hennepin County made application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a solid waste transfer station at the northeast corner of County Road 6 and I-494, pursuant to Section 9, Subdivision D. of the Zoning Ordinance (Hazardous Waste Facilities Conditional Uses). Development Review Committee review of the application commenced immediately together with activity to retain a qualified consultant to review the application on behalf of the City of Plymouth, as the Ordinance specifies. It should be noted that the review by the outside consultant is at the expense of the project applicant. On August 29, 1989, we drafted a letter to Hennepin County reviewing 35 items that are in need of modification; additional clarification; or additional information. These review comments were only the result of review by the City of Plymouth staff and usual retained utilities and traffic consultants. On July 24, 1989, we advised Hennepin County that the City of Plymouth had selected Black and Veatch, Kansas City, to be the consultant that would review technical aspects of their application on our behalf. On August 4, 1989, Hennepin County delivered the necessary financial deposit and authorization to proceed with the review of the application by the outside consultant. On August 10, 1989,.we instructed Black and Veatch to proceed with their review. Black and Veatch completed their review and on October 18, 1989, we transmitted a copy of the Black and Veatch report, together with a list of 34 additional design -related items requiring additions, modifications of clarifications related to plans that had been submitted by Hennepin County for this facility. These additional design review items were generated from the report presented by Black and Veatch. To date, neither our design review letter of August 29, 1989, nor our design review letter of October 18, 1989 has been responded to by Hennepin County. The project remains in Stage 2 of the development review process, and cannot proceed until the applicant has provided responses we have requested. I- 1 Page Two Hennepin County Application for Waste Transfer Station On March 6, 1990, we sent a letter of inquiry to Hennepin Count requesting an expression of intent regarding the application. (Copy attached On March 15, 1990, we received a letter from Hennepin County transmitting construction plans with minor modifications which are responsive to omissions made on those plans in the June, 1989 submission. The letter also makes reference to complete response to our earlier DRC letters to be expected by mid-April.

The bill clearly does not go this far and Pages2 through 4 specifically outline the situations when a public meeting can be closed. On Page 2 there is an attempt to define "Final Disposition". This is in response to last year's Annandale case where the question of "What is final disposition of a disciplinary action?" was argued. The last paragraph provides that the reasons for closing a meeting and a description of the subject to be discussed shall be stated publicly prior to closing a meeting. I believe the City Attorney has done a good job of doing this at past Council meetings. 0 p1874 no= VAW669M isr"WR ] CW .Vet8 O a lent to covemor. U.

RDLESA:pb MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: May 16, 1990 TO: James G. Willis - City Manager FROM: Richard J. Carlquist - Public Safety Directo SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL DIRECTIVE Councilmember Bob Zitur requested feedback on the Neighborhood Watch Program, and specifically why representatives in his area have not had any crime reports. The target date for this feedback was listed as May 21st. I have asked Darrel Anderson to respond to this directive. Enclosed is his memo, along with several examples of past crime alerts. Darrel was very candid. As you can tell from reading his memo he infers the need for additional people in crime prevention. My intention for the future is to continue developing a service oriented police department. In that regard, community based policing with its involvement of all the staff is the best use of personnel in the crime prevention area. Darrel has been busy part of his time with coordinating the D.A.R.E. program. Also, it seems like every time we have a series of crimes that are similar in MO reported that his time is consumed with the involved business owners discussing preventative measures. He receives a lot of phone calls and is always in demand. RJC/sb Enclosures DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 May 16, 1990 Chief Richard J. Carl uist Darrel Anderson ' I NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH The Neighborhood Watch Program in Plymouth was initiated by Crime Prevention Officer (CPO) Bob Nesbitt in 1982. It was formed with expectations of frequent information exchanges between the CPO and the "watch" coordinator. Several means of communication were involved: - Plymouth on Parade (crime statistical map) - Letters/notices of crime and trends to "watch"coordinators - Telephone - Media (newspapers/T.V.) - Personal appearances at neighborhood meetings. It was necessary to read and analyze all crime reports, determine if there is an ongoing pattern and which "watch" groups are affected, and prepare recommendations before communicating the information to the individual groups. We currently have 53 neighborhood watch groups, eight of which are in the Schmidt Lake area. One of those - Deerwood Meadows - has no coordinator. This large group is one of a few that have died from lack of interest and feedback. To keep a neighborhood watch group a viable asset to the police, periodic contact is necessary or they will "die on the vine." Citizens want to know about crime in their immediate area. They want individual contact by the police. This is not being done. 0 I-1 a 0�. Chief Richard J. Carlquist May 16, 1990 Page 2 Some of the reasons for the current situation are: - Responsibilities of community relations have expanded and increased substantially since 1982. Staff remains at one. - Residential and commercial community has increased dramatically since 1982. - Number of neighborhood watch groups has grown to 53 and is currently expanding at a rapid pace. - Crime in the City has increased substantially since 1982. With current staffing, it has not been possible to give attention to neighborhood watch groups or our business community on a proactive basis. They are left to reading news reports of crimes that happened weeks previously. Attached are some examples of notices sent in the past to neighborhood watch groups affected by crime. Also attached'is a front page POST newspaper clipping (May 9, 1990) advising residents of a current problem. There were six commercial burglaries from 05/04/90 to 05/05/90. This officer talked with the business owners and evaluated those burglaries. The owners were very grateful for police interest in their problems and advice given regarding prevention methods. In my opinion, none of these burglaries would have occurred had owners been contacted on a proactive basis. Neighborhood Watch groups, apartment/condo complexes and the business community thrive on and sincerely appreciate the contact and information from the police department. A proactive crime prevention program would create a positive image in the community and could reduce police staffing needs in the long term. DA/sb �0 LICE CITIZEN �► CRIME COLUM ; I.VLV1�11V RF E515 ?` NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COORDINATOR Z I o1a Recently there has been an increase in the number of burglaries that occur between midniaht and 5:00 a.m.. These burglaries have become more common in the northwest part of Plymouth. They are characterized by these elements: - Entries are made quietly through an open door or window, so as not to arouse the residents. - The focus is usually on cash. purses. jewelry, etc., that many times are left overniaht in the kitchen area. Accordingly. there are some simple security methods that may be employed to discourage this type of crime. 1. DO NOT leave patio doors open or unlocked. 2. DO NOT leave windows open far enough to admit a person. If windows are left open. prevent them from being opened further by pinning the sash or taking the crank off. 3. DO NOT leave purses and cash in the kitchen area. 4. DO keep garage overhead and service doors locked, and lock the door between the garage and living area if you have one. 5. DO report unusual activity in your area. We are asking that the neighborhood watch coordinators take the time to inform homeowners in their areas of this crime trend and preventative measures.

These burglaries have been to occupied dwellings after midniaht while residents slept. The main focus of these crimes has been theft of purses and cash that is commonly left in the kitchen area. No forced entry has been used as people leave garage service doors, entry doorsq patio doors and windows open during the warm weather. Please advise your neighborhood group to be cautious about leaving doors and windows unlocked or open, and to call 9-1-1 if any suspicious cars or persons are noticed in your neighborhood.

Someone has been heaving large rocks through sliding glass doors, stealing purses visible from the door and running off. The crimes have occurred in Plymouth, Maple Grove, New Hope and Golden Valley in re- cent days. The crimes tend to occur between 3 and 5:30 a.m. Two such burglaries occur- red on May 2. The first was at 3:13 a.m. in the 3200 block of Pilgrim Lane. A glass door was smashed and a purse stolen. Sixteen minutes later, a duplicate crime occurred in the 2900 block of Pilgrim Lane. In both cases, sleeping resi- dents were awakened by the crash. Damage to each door was estimated at:500. Police established a perime- ter around the area and brought in a canine unit. In incidents that may be related, police recovered a car stolen from St. Louis Park, and stopped and held for question- ing two juveniles and two adults in another car. On April 28, a large rock was thrown through a sliding glass door in the 11600 block of 40th Ave. N. Also, the 4000 block of Quaker Lane saw a similar incident that morning, with a door damaged and a purse containing $213 stolen. Police advise the following precautions to prevent this type of crime: Keep draperies and blinds closed, don't leave purses and wallets where they are visible from outside, and call police about suspicious Persons. e I if MEMO CITY Of PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: May 25, 1990 TO: Chief Richard J.

As you know, based on, my letter to you of January 3, 1990, our office had granted a previous extension based on your request, which expires May 16, 1990. At that time, you were confident that the date of May 16, 1990 would allow more than adequate time to complete the installation. Your letter now implies that the school district has experienced some difficulties in designing an appropriate screening system, but have since resolved that issue and have now readjusted the project schedule to ensure the fabrication and installation of the roof top screening to be completed no later than July 31, 1990. I will once again grant an extension of your temporary certificate of occupancy until July 31, 1990, which should allow more than adequate time to complete the installation., Please be advised that no further requests for extension will be considered by our office.

This is the fourth year in succession I have done so. I felt this council dealt with me in a concerned, informed, and fair manner. Past council's, with the exception of Ms. Vasilou, have left the majority of the people that appeared before them with the impression of arrogance and indifference. Those council's actions and demeanor were, at best, condescending toward and barely tolerant of the citizens that appeared before them. I don't know what you have done or how you've done it, but I want to congratulate and thank you for the remarkable about face that has taken place. If you can now manage to do the same with the City staff, and I'm not referring to just the Assessor's office, you will have truly worked a miracle and Plymouth will be what it advertises itself to be; "A Beautiful Place To Live". With appreciation, I remain Sincerely, Patrick B. Hallisey May 26, 1990 Plymouth City Council Mayor: Kim M. Bergman Council Members: Carole Helliwell, Lloyd Ricker, Maria Vasiliou & Bob Zitur I called your voice mail, for your convenience, left a message and ask to be called. Kim 5-14-90 Carole 5-08-90 Lloyd 5-18-90 Maria 5-18-90 Bob 5-18-90 What prompted my call was Carole's comments on a library for Plymouth. And, the comment from most of you that nobody had called about a community center. I talked to David Kramer, I,m not sure of the spelling, of the library administration on 5-17-90 and he told me what you heard from the last council meeting. (May 21) I also talked to Tad Jude on 5-18-90, and told him I thought it was time for a library in Plymouth. I'm suggesting to the council a library could be part of a community center. The city could give the land and some of the 12 million to Hennepin County for a library. I'm for a community center, it's part of a growing city. Kim in your campaign for mayor you stated something to the effect that you might be in favor of a center in some form, but not the current plan. (I think theta what you said) The city doesn'-t need to build the total center at first. Design it like city hall so it could be added on to in the future. A combined community center 6 library might be unique and could save us some money over building two separate buildings. During a public meeting held last year, an estimated community center budget was discussed. The bottom line was red and that had everybody stirred up. I- 14 I thought a few income items were low. Plymouth residents were given lower rates, why. I paid $280 dollars for a Y.M.C.A. membership, I pay more now, why should Plymouths only be $170. Also the number of out of town memberships seemed low at 8, if I remember correctly. I've been a member of the New Hope Y for 10 years and I've never lived there. Carole you mentioned that there were only memberships. Daily passes were also included. Passes are needed and maybe should be at a lower rate than what was in the budget. I work at Super Valu and I asked Mike Wright at a luncheon about 6 months ago for new employees, If the new Rainbow or the one proposed would have an effect on the decision for a Cub store in Plymouth. He said, not at all. Some Things To Think About: ,%�L I-C�P4 Fred Lips Work: 828-4677 7:30 to 4:00 Home: 557-0121 0 I,jm- : 1 '2,0 May 24, 199U Dear Post Editor: I want a community Pool with the "swimming but an honet-to-goodness .1 I center iri Plymoritlr. Not the tidal wave Park" and the monthly membership fees - community center. 1*0 Me, a community center is a building with meeting rooms for groups like Scouts, Historical Society, Carden Club, Optimists, 'Toastmasters and Women of Today. It also h,as a fully equippr?d ki.tr:hen for holding luncheons, choking classes or feeding the hungry at the meetings. It is op?n to all and accessible to the disabled, the very young and the young at heart. Outside the building would he an outdoor Olympic size pool with a diving area either included or next to it. I am tired of going to Crystal, New Hope or St. Louis Park and funding their pools. An outdoor- pool would provide a place for lessons, swim teams and socializing with your nei.ghhors. A kiddie pool should also be included with a small slide for those who wish to use it. And, maybe, just maybe, we could find room for an indoor sakating rink. As we grow, so does our- involvement in sports and recreational act.i.vities. Although my children are not involved in Hockey, I can see the need for- more ice time as the hockey teams in the area continue to grow. Surrounding this community center would be lovely green lawns and gardens that could be enjoyed by all. Parking would be ple"ti.ful and the cost: of admission for pool and rink reasonable. Plymouth is a plat(- that NEEDS a f�►r.ility of this nature. What has happened to the community center plans and the money allotted for i }7 I want a community center.

PROGRAM EXPANSION 1990-1991 SCHOOL YEAR Dear Steve: As far as I am concerned, the D.A.R.E. program will be expanded to four additional elementary schools in the Wayzata school district this coming school year. We look forward to meeting with individual principals and classroom teachers that will be involved in the additional schools. Obviously, the City Council has the final word. Unless my sensing capabilities have been completely deadened, I would bet that the Council would favor this additional commitment. My perception is based on the Council meeting televised on May 7th.

Plymouth, MN 55442 SUBJECT: BUILDING PERMIT Dear Mr. Bodey: On May 23, 1990, you telephoned Judy McMillin to indicate your concern about the lack of time restrictions on city building permits. You indicated that an adjacent property owner has received a building permit over a year ago and that the property owner has done little or no work since the permit was issued. You were concerned that the City Building Inspection Division indicated that as long as some work takes place, the permit is considered valid. You asked that the City adopt an ordinance similar to the City of Maple Grove wherein building permits are issued for a one-year period. I spoke with Joe Ryan, our Building Official, on this subject. Joe indicates that like Plymouth, the City of Maple Grove is governed by the Uniform Building Code. The standards of the Uniform Building Code may not be exceeded by a municipality. Therefore, in both Plymouth and Maple Grove, a building permit is valid for 180 days after its issuance, unless work has not commenced, has been suspended, or abandoned during this period. I am sure you can appreciate that permits are secured for all types of projects in the community and by all types of "builders." In most cases, a contractor will secure the permit and will attempt to complete the work as fast as possible since his or her paycheck is dependent upon project completion. On the other hand, there are residents who undertake their own home improvement projects in their spare time. This necessitates greater flexibility in our building permit process to allow for more extended construction activities. If you believe that a clear and present hazard is being caused by the construction you referred to, please contact me as soon as possible in order that I can have the name and address of the individual so we can follow-up. I would suggest, in any case, that you contact the property owner directly to discuss his or her timeline for improvement.

Mr. Bodey is requesting the City amend its ordinance to place a time restriction on building permits. Apparently, an adjacent property was issued a building permit over a year ago. The owner has done little or no work since the permit was issued. He contacted the Building Inspection Division and was advised that as long as some type of work takes place on the project, the permit is considered valid. He would like the City to adopt an ordinance similar to the City of Maple Grove -� wherein building permits are issued for a one year period. He stated that if the City cannot pull the permit or require the property owner to complete the project on a timely basis, the neighbors would submit a petition to the City. He would like to discuss this concern with you or the City Manager. C, )kIrI rq6-Il `i1G--. IVO Cc.Hsw�- 01 ��Ug,�. � �: ,,....�,a� � "�: ��� C — ,S � n i.�o..u. t..ot .`: r...i..
