TAXPAYER TO LET FORFEIT
According to our records you
are the taxpayer for property
located in the taxing districts
listed below.
Your city council (or township electors), your county commissioners and your school
board will hold meetings soon to decide on the amount of property taxes to collect
in 1991 to pay for services they will provide in the upcoming year.
Line 1 below shows the total amounts -of property tax your city, county and school .
district will collect in 1991 if they approve the amounts they are now considering.
Referendums, special assessments, legal judgments, natural disasters and revised
population figures could result in increasing these amounts. This notice does not
show proposed property tax amounts for special taxing districts such as watershed
and hospital districts, because they collect comparatively small amounts.
Your city council, county commissioners and school board members invite you to attend
the meetings at the times and places shown below to express your opinions on the
proposed amounts of property tax before they are voted on.

COMMISSIONER
October 22, 1990
Mr. Fred G. Moore, P.E.
Director of Public Works
City of Plymouth
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN. 55447
Dear Mr. Moore:
Thank you for your letter of October 4, 1990, transmitting Plymouth City Council
Resolution No. 90-618, outlining a request for improvement on Interstate 494 (I-494).
This segment of I-494 has been identified as a high priority for improvements.
In addition to this section of I-494, the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(Mn/DOT) has identified four additional interstate segments which should be
reconstructed before the year 2000. The estimated construction costs for these
interstate projects in the west metropolitan area are in excess of $1.12 billion.
Unfortunately, transportation infrastructure needs in the Twin Cities metropolitan
area exceed the financial resources available. As a result, the department is working
to implement a variety of alternatives for maintaining and managing existing facilities
until funding can be made available for more extensive improvements. Transportation
system management techniques and time -saving incentives for the use of mass transit,
such as high -occupancy vehicle bypasses of ramp meters, will keep our facilities
operating until they , can be reconstructed.
Thank you again for writing. I appreciate the opportunity to address this issue.
Sincerel

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH,.MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: October 31, 1990
TO: Fred G. Moore Director of Public Works
op
FROM: Richard J. PoNiot, Project Coordinator
SUBJECT: MEDINA ROAD - STEVE AND MARY JO HUGHES
CITY PROJECT NO. 010
Although the City Council has not approved the final plans and
specifications for the Medina Road Project, the City Council has
directed that the City purchase the home of Steve and Mary Jo Hughes
along with relocation benefits.
In accordance with City Council direction, I met with Steve and Mary Jo
Hughes on Tuesday, October 30 regarding this same subject. They
presented an appraisal which they had obtained in the amount of $78,000.
The City's appraisal was $73,000.
I explained to them that we would proceed in one of two ways:
1. We would agree to compensate them for the value of their
home and would hire a consultant or MnDOT relocation
personnel to determine full relocation benefits.
Or
2. We could agree on a total price of their property
including relocation costs and they would then waive any
further relocation benefits.
Both Steve and Mary Jo Hughes stated that in spite of their earlier
demand by their attorney of $90,000, the real figure was and is $85,000
to include all relocation benefits. I accepted their offer on behalf of
the City and agreed to pay them $85,000 total price for the home and
relocation benefits and would allow them to live in the house until June
15, 1991. The Hughes are to pay all utilities and continue insurance on
the property with the City as the primary beneficiary. Closing has been
set for December 10, 1990.

Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting
October 25, 1990
Page 42
Present: Chair Freels, Commissioners Anderson, Hanson, Rosen, Waage and
Beach; staff Bisek, Blank, Moore and Pederson; Councilmember Ricker
Absent:
1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freels called the October meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A motion was made by Commissioner Rosen and seconded by Commissioner Waage
to approve the minutes of the September meeting as presented. The motion
carried with all ayes.
3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Athletic Associations. None were present at this meeting.
b. Staff. Mary Bisek presented the Employee of the Month award to Ellen
Keane, who has been employed by the City for four years as a ballet
and tap instructor, puppet wagon coordinator, and youth activities
instructor/leader. She stated that Ellen's experience has included
dancing for 25 years, playing the part of Baby Kermit in the Muppet
Babies National Tour, choreographing productions for Wayzata High
School, teaching dance at private dance schools, etc.
She announced several upcoming programs for winter, including the Old
Fashioned Christmas event on December 9 and the third annual Fire and
Ice Festival on February 2.
The recreation staff will hold their annual planning retreat on
Tuesday, October 30, where they brainstorm program offerings for the
next year.
Mary indicated that evening space in schools is becoming scarce, and
that we will be unable to offer our adult open gym during winter
quarter because of this. We have, however, been able to secure some
space immediately after school in some locations for youth programs,
such as karate, which is now being offered immediately after school at
Greenwood, Gleason Lake and Sunset Hill.
c. Others. None.
4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
a. Playfields. Council approved the final plans and specifications for
both Parkers Lake and Bass Lake playfields, but decided not to
advertise for bids until after the Financial Task Force makes its
report available to them, which is expected sometime in December.
Director Blank stated the bidding climate is usually better in January
than it would be in late fall.

b. Acquisition of Property at 2047 Forestview Lane. Council authorized
the purchase of Norma.Lewis's property, which is the final piece of
land needed before the City can start planning the redevelopment of
West Medicine Lake City Park. There are three other parcels privately
owned that are within the boundaries of the park, but they lie on the
outside edge and don't pose any problems at this time. The park could
be constructed without acquiring them, but Director Blank stated that
if their owners did decide to sell, he would recommend purchasing
them.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Discussion of non-resident use of playfields. This item was discussed
at the September meeting, with representatives of some of the athletic
associations. Commissioner Beach was absent that night, and because
of her involvement in the Plymouth Soccer Association, it was decided
to carry this item over to October's meeting in order to hear her
comments. After reviewing the minutes of the September meeting, and
conducting a survey of her own, which involved calling the various
athletic associations, Carol concluded that charging non-resident fees
would generate only about $2,500 and would cause hard feelings. It
was the consensus of the Commission to continue with the status quo of
not charging fees to non-resident youth using Plymouth facilities at
this time.
b. 1990 park projects. All 1990 projects are either nearing completion,
or are finished now. The archery range in Plymouth Creek Park is
finished, the trail along West Medicine Lake Drive is completed, work
is done at Swan Lake Park, with the exception of some sodding and
dormant seeding, and the trail along 46th Avenue is done.
Commissioner Rosen wondered if the City had ever held ribbon cutting
or grand opening ceremonies for neighborhood park projects. Director
Blank stated that grand openings have been held at Parkers Lake City
Park and when the six playfields were built in 1980. The
commissioners agreed that it might be nice to have some sort of
informal ceremony in the spring for Swan Lake Park. Staff will look
into it.
c. SR ecial facilities -comprehensive plan -continue discussion. Director
Blank distributed information on the Winona city pool's construction
cost and operating budget. This was Winona's first summer with its
new aquatic facility, which generated income of $90,000 plus. If they
had charged a separate fee to ride the waterslide, they estimate they
would have received an additional $30,000 in revenue. Director Blank
also discussed the Crystal pool, which had revenue of about $50,000 in
1989. With the addition of two waterslides in 1990, they generated
income of $117,000.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Trail on Co Rd 6 between Fernbrook and Juneau Lane - public meeting.
Director Blank explained that this item was referred to PRAC by the
City Council, who requested that PRAC hold a public information
elm. N0�l " 2'Ro
iA
PRAC Minutes, October 1990
Page 44
meeting on it. The Comprehensive Park and Trail plan proposes that
this segment of trail be constructed, and it is staff's feeling that
the trail is necessary because of the widening of County Road 6, and
due to the fact that an off-road trail will be constructed on the
north side of 6 all the way from Co. Rd. 101 to Niagara, at which
point it will cross to the south side of Co. 6 and continue west to
Juneau. By extending the trail a few more blocks east, it will tie
into the trail coming south along Fernbrook, which will eventually
extend all the way to the Luce Line. This will provide pedestrians,
bikers and joggers safe access to Parkers Lake Park and other points
west, as well as giving them a continuous path around Parkers Lake.
Mary Kochevar, 14603 County Road 6, wonders why it is necessary to
have a trail between Fernbrook and Juneau. It is her opinion that no
one will use it, because she doesn't feel it will be safe. She also
wanted to know where the people would come from that would be using
this trail. She stated that no one lives east of Fernbrook and that
its all industrial. Staff responded that trail users could come from
the north side of Co. Rd. 6, and proceed east along 6 to the park.
She further stated that she and her husband have given up enough
property already to the county and city for the widening of 6, and she
doesn't feel its fair to ask them to give up more. They have already
lost 30 feet to the county and 15 to the city, and now they recently
learned that the survey done in 1907 was incorrect, and they're going
to have to give up another 27 feet. They would also lose a large
cottonwood tree in their front yard if the trail goes through.
Ken Neutgens, 14407 County Road 6, stated that he doesn't want the
trail either. He feels it would be unsafe for him and his family when
they want to leave their driveway, because of the incline and
visibility. He also commented on the incorrect survey and how he has
been paying taxes on this property, and now that this additional land
actually belongs to the City, he wants to be reimbursed for those
taxes. He believes he has given up enough land as it is. He also
doesn't think anyone will use the trail, because he never sees anyone
walking on 6, especially with the widening of the road to four lanes,
cars travel at speeds of 50-55 miles per hour now.
LeRoy Reinke, 14411 County Road 6, feels that the widening of 6 made
for an unsafe condition where his driveway meets the street. He feels
that the apron to his driveway slopes up too much, which makes it very
difficult to back out of his driveway and see the traffic on 6. He
feels that giving up another eight feet for the trail will make this
situation even worse. He feels that the trail would have to be
crowned where it crosses his property, and he doesn't think that's
very safe. He requested that the City put up a privacy fence along
people's property if the trail is approved.
Henry Willegalle, 1525 Juneau Lane, commented that he doesn't believe
the City plans very well when it designs some of its projects. He
claims that most pedestrians and bikers come down Juneau Lane, and why
didn't the City block Juneau off where it meets 6, rather than
blocking Glacier at 6? He feels that the traffic on 6 moves way too
fast and that the City should conduct a speed study along the stretch
where the trail is proposed.
CIM NOV - 2'90
LL ��
PRAC Minutes, October 1990
Page 45
Terry Groetken, 14530 15th Ave N, asked PRAC and staff if the trail
would be off-road if it is rerouted down Juneau, and along 15th
Avenue. Staff responded that it would only be a signed trail, just
like it is now.
Dave Anderson, 1555 Juneau Lane, suggested that staff check on the
number of people using Juneau Lane as the means for getting to the
Luce Line. He claims that on any nice Saturday or Sunday afternoon in
the summer, he sees 200 or more people walking, biking, or
rollerblading down the street in front of his house. He's fed up with
how people treat his property, when they pass by on their way to and
from Lions Park or the Luce Line. Dogs defacate on his lawn, some dog
owners use his driveway as a place for teaching their dog to retrieve,
and he's tired of not having any privacy. He's grateful for the
privacy fence on the north side of his lot, but isn't very pleased
with the idea of pedestrian traffic being permanently rerouted down
Juneau.
A resident in the audience with a suggestion for getting people to the
Luce Line in a safe manner would be to continue the trail down
Fernbrook Lane all the way to the Luce Line. Commissioner Rosen
wondered how that would solve the problem of going west on 6 if you're
coming from the north, such as the residents living in Raths First
Addition or those living in Cimarron East. How do these people get to
Parkers Lake? Staff member Fred Moore responded that most of these
residents would come down Fernbrook, if they live on the east edge of
Raths and Cimarron East, and the others would likely go west on 21st
and then south on Niagara. Another possibility at some future point
would be to go north on Fernbrook, west on 25th all the way to Niagara
and then south. At the present time, the trail on 25th doesn't go all
the way through.
Chair Freels asked commissioners for their comments after hearing from
the residents. Commissioner Beach stated that at this time, without
having visited the site, she was against the trail on 6 based on what
these residents had to say. Commissioner Waage doesn't know what the
best solution is at this time. She does believe that people will use
County 6 regardless of whether or not there is a trail, but she
believes a trail would be safer. Commissioner Rosen stated that he
sympathized with the residents, but feels a trail will be necessary at
some point, even if it is 'delayed for now. Commissioner Hanson
reviewed what the concerns of the residents were: they feel the trail
is an invasion of their privacy and property, they believe they've
given up enough land already, they want to be reimbursed for the taxes
and special assessments they have paid over the years on land they
recently learned is not really theirs, and they have safety concerns.
Commissioner Hanson agreed with their concerns and stated that if the
trail is approved, she wants staff to work them individually to
alleviate some of these concerns. She also believes they should be
reimbursed for the taxes and special assessments they've paid on land
that isn't theirs. Commissioner Anderson feels that the trail will
eventually be constructed on 6, and that until it is, people will walk
on the street or on private lawns.

PRAC Minutes, October 1990
Page 46
Another resident in attendance commented that when she goes for a
walk, she chooses the most scenic route, which tends to be the back or
side streets. She would never choose to walk on a busy road like
County 6 and can't imagine that others would either. Some
commissioners commented that people tend to take the shortest distance
between two points, and if their objective is to get to Parkers Lake
Park from the east, they will walk on 6.
Chair Freels suggested that this item be tabled until the November
meeting to give PRAC time to visit the site. He did not have a chance
to look at the situation prior to the meeting, nor did other members
of PRAC.
Ken Neutgens said if the trail is constructed, he will not tolerate
the snow being shoved into his yard during the winter. Mary Kochevar
stated that PRAC doesn't live there 24 hours a day, and they don't
understand how emotional this issue is.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROSEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
HANSON TO PUT THE TRAIL ALONG CO. 6 -AS SHOWN IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
Discussion continued on whether it. was possible to save the tree in
the Kochevar's yard. Staff member Fred Moore didn't think so. If
fencing or shrubbery is planted as a buffer between the trail and
residents' homes, the Park Department would have to fund it. The
trail would not go in until next spring.
A roll call vote was taken. Commissioners Anderson, Beach, Waage and
Freels voted nay. Commissioners Rosen and Hanson voted aye.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY CHAIR FREELS AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WAAGE
TO TABLE THIS ISSUE UNTIL NOVEMBER AND TO HAVE STAFF PROVIDE AS MUCH
IFORMATION AS POSSIBLE TO PRAC ON TRAFFIC SPEED ON CO. 6 AND
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD USE TRAIL. IT WAS FURTHER
RECOMMENDED THAT PRAC VISIT THE SITE BEFORE THE NOVEMBER MEETING.
The motion to table carried with five ayes. Commissioner Hanson voted
nay.
b. Reauest to buv land at Co. Rds. 101 & 24 (Craig Scherber). Mr.
Scherber has 87 acres of land at this intersection that he would like
the city to buy for playfield as an alternative to a site north of
Highway 55. He presented this proposal to the City Council and they
referred it to PRAC. Director Blank stated he feels it is in the
City's best interest to stick to a site north of Highway 55 as shown
in the Comprehensive Plan, which is located at Old 9 and Dunkirk Lane,
and is currently being considered by Wayzata School District as a
secondary school location. Mr. Scherber explained that the advantage
to buying his property is that it is available now, and he is a
willing seller. Commissioner Rosen commented that he is in agreement
with Director Blank that a site is needed north of Highway 55.
PRAC Minutes, October 1990
Page 47
A MOTION WAS MADE BY CHAIR FREELS AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
ANDERSON TO NOT PURCHASE LAND FROM MR. SCHERBER, BUT TO STAY WITH THE
SITE AS PROPOSED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH
FIVE AYES. COMMISSIONER HANSON ABSTAINED.
c. Proposal to build city ice rink. Director Blank explained that Andrew
Benson and Robert Furst wish to build an ice rink in Plymouth on the
proposed community center site. They want the City to foot the
estimated $3,000,000 bill for constructing it, and then Furst & Benson
would operate it, under contract to the City, sharing the profits and
losses. One of the men is a former ice rink manager and the other is
a financial adviser. Chair Freels commented that if this ice rink is
built, he feels it will prevent the community center from ever being
constructed. Director Blank responded that the ice rink would be
located in the same spot as the community center ice rink, and that
the rest of the community center could be added on at a later date. A
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
BEACH TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE FINANCIAL TASK FORCE FOR FURTHER
STUDY AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.
Because Mr. Benson was not in attendance at this meeting, further
discussion was tabled to the November 8 meeting.
7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION
Commissioner Rosen asked if WCCO still had its Good Neighbor program, and
if so, how about nominating Barb Edwards. Staff said they believed it
did. Director Blank said he would look into this. He also indicated that
he would inform PRAC when the Council awards Barb her plaque, so that they
can attend that Council meeting.
PRAC wanted to know when a new commissioner would be appointed, and
Director Blank explained that they would likely do that in January, when
they reappoint those members whose terms expire.
Commissioner Beach suggested that PRAC start its future meetings at 7
p.m., because of her new work schedule. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER
BEACH AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANSON TO BEGIN ALL FUTURE PRAC
MEETINGS AT 7 P.M. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.

None.

Advocacy
The Intervention Project provides 24-hour crisis intervention services to victims of
domestic assault. Upon notification of Home Free Shelter by the police, volunteer
advocates are contacted and dispatched to offer emergency support services to the victim.
Volunteer and staff advocates have been trained to explain the criminal court process,
explain the court order for protection and to explain the community resources available
to the victim. Advocates assist the victim in both criminal and family court throughout
the entire court process.
Arrests
63 victims received information about the criminal court process and the availability of
the Order for Protection.
12 victims were visited in their homes by volunteer advocates within an hour of
the police call.
2 victims were not able to be contacted by phone within an hour, but were
contacted by phone by staff at a later date.
28 victims were contacted by phone following the police call but chose not to have
a home visit. 4 women were visited in their homes at a later date. Follow-up
contact was made by staff throughout the court process.
5 victims could not be reached by phone. Letters were sent explaining the
Intervention Project services.

1 woman was assisted with an Harassment Restraining Order.
-T woman was assisted in Juvenile Court proceedings.
8 women were assisted with obtaining an Order for Protection.
-T woman was assisted with an Order for Protection amendment.
Jail Visits
Jail visitors are dispatched to meet with the assailants the morning after an arrest. Jail

Councilmember Bob Zitur requested statistics relative to the
Robbinsdale School District and Wayzata School District, high
schools and 'junior high schools, located in Plymouth.
Specifically, he would like to know the number of calls that the
police department has responded to in the past 3 years (1987-1989
inc.) at the following schools:
1. Armstrong High School
2. Plymouth Jr. High School
3. Wayzata High School
4. Wayzata East Jr. High School
Mr. Zitur also requested attendance statistics at these schools
as it relates to the cities involved. For instance, Armstrong
High School would include cities such as Plymouth, Golden Valley,
New Hope, Crystal, etc. It is my understanding that these
statistics are available from the school administration offices.

Mr. Luke Komarek
14510 44th Ave. N.
Plymouth, MN 55446
SUBJECT: AREA 1 TOWN MEETING
Dear Mr. Komarek:
The "Resident Feedback Form" that you submitted after the October 23, town meeting
has been referred to me for a written response. Your concern which you addressed
was the additional traffic which the Rockford Road Plaza will generate and its
proposed entrance/exit onto County Road 9.
The Rockford Road Plaza will have two entrance/exit points to the City's street
system. One will be on County Road 9 opposite the existing roadway which serves the
Cottonwood Plaza and AMOCO Service Station on the south side of County Road 9.
There will be another access location on Northwest Boulevard approximately one
quarter mile north of County Road 9. This access on Northwest Boulevard is the one
you were addressing as part of your concern.
As was discussed at the town meeting, there is a proposal to construct Schmidt Lake
Road from where it currently ends by the Tyrell Addition easterly and connected with
Northwest Boulevard. Northwest Boulevard is also to be extended northerly in order
that it provides a connection to County Road 10. Also, Schmidt Lake Road would be
constructed easterly from Northwest Boulevard to where the road ends at Pineview
Lane.
The traffic studies done at the time the Rockford Road Plaza Shopping Center was
proposed indicated that at the completion and full occupancy of the shopping center,
all of these roadways would be necessary in order to relieve traffic congestion
which would develop on County Road 9. The full development of the shopping center
will take place over at least a five year period. The City's plan propose to
complete this roadway system within that time -frame.
The City has been very concerned with traffic generated by major retail
developments. For this reason, the City has required traffic studies which indicate
the required improvements to adequately handle the traffic when the development is
completed. The City has then required the construction of these improvements along
with the development.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 550-
5080.
Sincerely,
Fred G. Moore, P.E.

Plymouth, MN 55446
Dear Ms. Barnes:
Mayor Bergman has forwarded your resident feedback form to me for review and
comment. In your letter, you expressed interest in two different areas. The
first item had to do with Turtle Lake. The name "Turtle Lake" is somewhat a
misnomer, in that Turtle Lake never has been anything more than a grassy
wetlands with a small open water area in the middle. What you see at this
time is the natural condition of the protected wetland. Although the City and
the Department of Natural Resources have done everything we can to mitigate
degradation to the wetlands, you are correct in that some developers may not
have followed proper conservation measures. The answer to your question is
that to the best of my knwoledge, there are no plans by the City to dredge, or
in any other way, modify or enhance this wetlands area at this time. The City
could not make any alteration without DNR approval.
Your second question dealt with weed control in this general vicinity, I am
assuming. The City's program of weed eradication is based on the principle of
responding to complaints as they are submitted. A number of years ago, the
City Council adopted a policy that they did not want staff going about the
community generating weed complaints against private citizens. Thus, all weed
cutting is done on a complaint basis in the City of Plymouth. The one
exception to this is we do inspect city owned, or publicly owned land on a
regular basis to make sure that our property is in conformance with rules and
regulations. If there are areas in your neighborhood, vacant lots, or other
areas that you think are unsightly and exceed City ordinances, I encourage you
to continue to call the City weed inspector, who will then take the
appropriate action to have the areas inspected and cut, if necessary.
Thank you for your time and interest in these matters. If I may be of further
assistance to you, please call me at 550-5131.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your letter seeking support for the community library
in Plymouth. We support your efforts in securing this valuable
learning facility.
Cooperative efforts between the city, the school district and
county can be facilitated by new approaches to old problems. You
will recall a proposal submitted by the Community Education
Department last spring indicating a plan to build a secondary
school in the near future.
A vital component of this structure is a library/media center. Why
not revisit a joint venture by building and operating a school
/community library designed in the new facility? This might be an
excellent opportunity to propose the idea to the county library
board. Perhaps we can discuss it at the meeting on Monday, October
29

Hennepin County Commissioners
This letter is to. encourage you to approve construction of a community
library in Plymouth. The Plymouth area is expanding very rapidly and
residents definitely need additional library services. It is our
understanding that Plymouth is the only community of any size within
Hennepin County that does not currently have a community library,
and the situation should be remedied within the nearest possible
future.
We have discussed this issue with students and staff in the Hopkins
Schools and there is no question that the facility would be extensively
used. Families living in that portion of our school district, where a
great deal of growth is occuring, simply have no easy access to a
library. Many students at all levels, elementary to university, need and
use community libraries to supplement regular school libraries.
School media collections are limited. Ready access to current
information is increasingly essential in this time of rapid change, as
school textbooks and other instructional materials are quickly
outdated.
Your thoughtful consideration of these important needs will be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Arthur Bruning

Dear Don:
Please give Deputy Kohls a vigorous handshake and pat on the back
for assisting us with his dog at a business burglary.
Apparently, the suspect had entered a building through the roof
and was in the process of escaping when Plymouth police officers
arrived at the scene. It was not known at the time if the
suspect was still in the building.
Therefore, a request was made for one of your canine units.
When Deputy Kohls arrived, he did a most thorough job of tracking
with his dog. In fact, it took over two hoursl
The suspect was finally located in a ceiling air duct. We had to
remove an access panel to reach him. The dog knew all along that
he was still in the buildingl
Thanks for providing such wonderful service, and especially
deputy's with the tenacious quality of Deputy Kohls and his dog.

SUBJECT: ACCIDENT ON COUNTY ROAD 9
While at City Hall last Thursday from 8 a.m. until noon for a
meeting, I decided to go to Dufner's located in the Cottonwood
Plaza shopping center for lunch. I was eastbound on County Road
9 approaching the turn at the Amoco service station, when I came
upon a terrible truck/car accident. Apparently, a cement truck
attempting to turn into the Ryan development had collided with a
small car. The car had its roof torn off and the driver was
still in the vehicle. Public Safety and Rescue personnel present
at the accident scene included the Highway Patrol, an ambulance,
a Plymouth police car, two City fire trucks, and a community
service officer. Jim, I really saw Sergeant Rogers leading the
troops along with another police officer. The community service
officer was doing a great job of directing traffic. The firemen
were involved with removing the driver from the car onto a
stretcher and into the ambulance. They were all very busy and
doing a great job. As I stood there and watched, I was really
proud of our public safety personnel.
Afterwards, I proceeded back to Dufner's when I was approached by
Mr.� Begin. He indicated to me that he was very concerned with
the fact that he had paid for two traffic studies totalling
nearly $5,000, and still no traffic signals had been installed at
this location. I guess my question is too, when are the signals
going to be installed? (I hear in a month??) It was also
reported to me that there was a vehicular death in this same
location last year.
The present traffic on new County Road 9 is awful. I cannot
imagine what traffic will be like on this roadway over the next
two years with the future improvements to County Road 10 and
Schmidt Lake Road taking place. We must also think about the
impact of traffic cutting through neighborhoods. If the Schmidt
.Lake Road gets open to Highway 169, it may help.

Jim, I cannot help but think that my proposal for a Community
Safety Committee to both the past and present Councils still goes
unheralded. After observing this accident, with the receipt of
the Zachary Lane petition, and the folks on Fernbrook with their
concerns which will be aired Monday night, plus other areas in
Plymouth, the need for such a committee exists.
Please extend my personal gratitude to the members of the Fire
Department and the Police Department for their professional
handling of a serious situation.

Dear Ms. Uecker:
As you requested, I discussed your employment situation at a
Plymouth business with James Willis, the City Manager. He
concurred with the information I gave you that there is little
the City can do in this type of situation. The City does not
have legal authority or enforcement powers in how a private
business runs their operation.
I can offer you the following referrals:
1. If you feel you have been mistreated, you could contact
the Minnesota Department of Human Rights at 296-5663.
2. In addition to the Minnesota Job Service in Minnetonka,
I would suggest you contact H.I.R.E.D. This is an
agency partially funded by the United Way that assists
people in finding jobs. From what I understand, they do
an excellent job of assisting job seekers each step of
the way. Their nearest office to you is in Robbinsdale.
Their phone number is 536-0777.
I wish you the best in your job search and hope that the City of
Plymouth map I provided will help.
Sincerely,
Laurie Rauenhorst
City Clerk

Dear Friends:
X73-8228
I have known Ruth Ueckre over many years to be a
hard-working,honest, God fearing person; she puts all
her energy in a job she is to do.
The other night she approached me with tears in her
eyes, to tell of the recent job she had acquired at
the Cheese Factory in Plymouth. She will tell you of
her stay with them, and how it was handled.
They omitted giving her a form to fill out etc.
She found out after she was dismissed suddenly,that her
replacement there were two sons of a mother working
there. Nepotism? she felt discriminated against.
Would you want other people in your community treated
as she was? What are they doing for the City of Plymouth?
Are they Unionized? I personally feel this company should
be investigated,having recently moved from Wisconsin.
Thank you.

TO: Mayor Kim M. Bergman
FROM: Dale E. HahW, Finance Director and Daryl E. Sulander); Assistant
Finance Director
SUBJECT: ROBERT J. BUSHNELL, UTILITY BILLING SERVICE CHARGES DISPUTE
On Thursday, October 25, 1990, Mr. Bushnell telephoned you with regard to his
utility billing at 18030 33rd Avenue North. At your request, we met with Mr.
Bushnell and his landlord, Mr. Myron Anderson on Tuesday, October 30, 1990, at
8:30 A.M. John Tufte, our meter reader, was also present.
We reviewed Mr. Bushnell's service charges for the period June, 1988 through
September, 1990. In question, are the large volumes of water use for the
period January, 1989 through September 1989.
Mr. Bushnell asked us to tell him where he used this large volume of water.
We explained to Mr. Bushnell, we cannot determine where or how water is used.
The charges for service are rendered based on meter readings taken every three
months. The estimated volume of sewage billed for, is based on the water
used during his winter quarter months of January, February and March. Based
on these facts, it is the Finance Department's opinion that the billings have
been rendered properly and correctly. No correction or adjustment is deemed
appropriate, as no errors in billing have been found.
Mr. Bushnell's contention, that we should reduce his bill, because it just
seems too high, has no merit due to the lack of any evidence of error or
metering irregularities.
The owner of the property, Mr. Myron Anderson, was satisfied that our billings
are correct as presented. His concern was that Mr. Bushnell pay the bill to
clear the delinquent utility assessment from his property tax payable for the
current year and next year.

Mr. Bushnell indicated he would pursue assistance from the Attorney General's
office in mediating a solution. Should Mr. Bushnell choose to pursue this
avenue, I am confident our records and billing procedures will show we have
accurately billed Mr. Bushnell for his metered water usage and sewer
estimations.

City Council

Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Council Members:
As new residents of Plymouth Creek Townhomes, my wife ' and I are very
pleased with the progress being made in Plymouth, and with the operation of
the City Hall and its staff.
We have a suggestion to make and are not sure to whom to address this.
Being daily walkers around our development, we would like to see a sidewalk
and curbing put in on the south side of Old County Road 9 between Rockford
Road and Vicksburg Lane. Not only would this improve the safety of children
and adults who walk along this route, it could also eliminate the swampy area
that is unsightly and continually muddy.
We noticed that a short section of the north side of that road recently was
replaced between Rockford Road and Polaris Lane. The other three sides of our
area have sidewalks and curbs. As you perhaps know, our developer went
bankrupt before our complex was completed.
There has also been some discussion about the fact that, except for 41st Ave.,
our. streets are not plowed or cared for by the city although we do not receive
any allowance on our taxes for taking care of that ourselves. Will this ever be
amended in some way? Perhaps the sidewalk and curb suggested here might
be considered as an offset for past oversights and a new policy could be
implemented to compensate the Plymouth Creek homeowners.
Thank you for your assistance on these matters. It is hoped that this can be
directed to the proper department(s) for their consideration.

This letter is in reference to the City Council meeting of June 41 1990 and in
particular Agenda #8, Item 0; Received Alternative Alignment Study for West
Medicine Lake/Schmidt Lake Road Improvement, Project 011.
At that time, we the homeowners of the Meadows of Bass Lake addressed the City
Council with our concerns over the studies proposed alignment. We were very
concerned about its effect on some of our neighbors properties, the wetlands
and the neighborhood in general.
At that time, you and the Council heard and agreed with our plea to accept our
alternative proposal. The Council then voted and approved our recommendation
for the "AD" alignment of Northwest Boulevard over the studies proposal.
Our concern at this time is we haven't heard anymore information about this
project. Has there been any progress made towards the implementation of the
"AD" alignment for Northwest Boulevard? Is there any possibility the "AD"
alignment won't be built?
We would appreciate hearing from you or one
future of this project. Since we recently
all correspondence can be sent to me.
