Bike Helmets Equal Free Treats
Bikers, rollerbladers, and scooter riders be on the look out. If you are spotted wearing your bike
helmet while cycling in Plymouth, a Plymouth Police Officer or Firefighter may just pull you over.
Beginning in May and continuing throughout the summer, firefighters and police officer will congratulate
cyclists who are wearing their helmets with a certificate for a free treat at one of Plymouth's fast food
restaurants.
The Plymouth bike helmet reward program is in its 8h year. The Fire and Police Departments
thank Burger King, Dairy Queen, McDonalds, Arby's and Wendy's for making the program possible.
"Each year we see more and more people wearing helmets. We'd like to think that our program
had had a positive effect on this," said Fire Chief Richard Kline. `Bike helmets are a small investment to
prevent head injuries," said Kline. In fact, helmets have been shown to reduce the risk of head injury by
as much as 85% and the risk of brain injury by as much as 88%.
The Bike Helmet Reward Program is just one part of the City's commitment to safe cycling. The
Fire Department also will sell Bell manufactured bike helmets beginning June 7, and continuing every
Thursday evening throughout August from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Helmets will cost just $8. All sales will be held
at Fire Station 3, 3300 Dunkirk Ln. N. Bell helmets retail up to $46, are safety certified, and come in
wide variety models, sizes, and colors.
Firefighters and Police Officers also remind parents that the Plymouth Bike Rodeo will be held
Sat, June 2 at Fire Station III from 9 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Kid's grades 1-4 will have a fun day of safe cycling,
They will learn the rules of the road, the importance of wearing a bike helmet, how to check their bike
for safety, and will practice their new skills on the rodeo course. The rodeo will conclude with a
community ride. 'You may pick up an application for the rodeo at the Plymouth Police and Fire offices,
3400 Plymouth Blvd., or at www.ci.plyrnouth.mn.us.
If you have any questions on these or other safety programs, please call Sara Lynn Cwayna 763-
509-5198.

Dear Resident/Land Owner:
The City has recently received an application from HOM Furniture, under File No. 2001037, for
1) a comprehensive plan amendment to reguide property from IP (Planned Industrial) to C
(Commercial), 2) a rezoning from I-2 (General Industrial) to PUD (Planned Unit Development),
and 3) a PUD General Plan. The proposal would allow conversion of the existing industrial
building located at 4150 Berkshire Lane to a HOM Furniture Store and related uses. A map
indicating the location of the area is provided below.
This letter is being mailed to all landowners within 750 feet of the site in order to provide notice

April 30, 2001 CITY OF
PUMOUTR
Dear Resident:
Earlier this year you received a letter from Mark Peterson, Superintendent of Parks, talking about
the City's plans to install a children's playground in the environmental park area near your home.
While preliminary plans were underway this spring for the design and location of the
playground, concern was raised by area residents as to the proposed location of the playground.
A number of residents appeared before the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission at their
March meeting to discuss possible alternatives for locating the playground. At that time, the
Commission tabled the issue until their May meeting to allow them time to revisit the site and
determine if there were viable alternatives for locating the playground, or any other options. The
Commission will again discuss this item at their May 10 meeting, at 7 p.m., in the City's Council
Chambers, at 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. We encourage you to attend the Commission meeting
and provide any information or opinions regarding this subject. If you are unable to attend the
meeting, a written note would be greatly appreciated, which would be forwarded to them for
their review.
Some of the options that are being considered are: relocate the playground to the far north of the
property closer to Schmidt Lake Road; locate it farther south, closer to County Road 9; delay the
project until the City can acquire additional property that might be a viable site for the
playground; or go ahead with the plan as proposed at a location in the clearing, half way between
County Road 9 and Schmidt Lake Road, east of the Fernbrook Manor Townhomes.
If you have any questions regarding this subject, you may reach me by calling 509-5201. Thank
you for your time and interest in this matter. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Sincerely,
Eric Blank, Director
Parks and Recreation

Dear Resident:
This is to inform you that the Plymouth Soccer Association has requested permission to allow
four and five year old children to play soccer on the grass area at Westside Community Church,
located at 3120 Dunkirk Lane. Games would commence on May 14th and be concluded by July
26th. There will be no soccer goals used at this site, other than two orange cones put out during
the game times.
Westside Community Church is being proposed for use this summer because of reconstruction
taking place at Greenwood and Kimberly Lane Elementary Schools, thus preventing the normal
use of those soccer fields. The City Council will be reviewing this proposal at their May 8th
Council meeting.
If you have any particular questions about the use of the church by the Plymouth Soccer
Association, contact Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation, at 509-5201.

Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting
April 12, 2001
Page 18
Present: Chair Anderson, Commissioners Fiemann; Meyer, Musliner, Singer; staff Anderson,
Bisek, Mittelstaedt, Pederson; SRF consultant Warner
Absent: Commissioner Thompson
1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Anderson called the April meeting to order at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A motion was made by Commissioner Singer and seconded by Commissioner Fiemann to
approve the minutes of the March meeting as presented. Commissioner Singer noted an error
on page 14, third paragraph from the bottom. The sentence should have read "She explained
that she makes her recommendations based on whether or not she would want this in her
neighborhood." Amended motion carried with all ayes.
3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Athletic Associations. None were present.
b. Staff. See item 6.
c. Others. See item 5 c.
4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION
Mary had nothing to report.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Millennium Garden update. Mary talked to George Watson. He said that plans are about
95% finalized. We are working with contractors and have a lot of in—kind donations
committed to the garden. There is still some specialty work being done by consultants.
Some work may be done prior to the May 21 groundbreaking, dependent on the weather.
The planting probably will not take place until fall. The Franklin Bank just made a
$2,500 pledge to the garden. A family donated $12,500 to sponsor the labyrinth.
Fingerhut has committed $12,500. Over 500 bricks have been sold. The deadline for
brick sales is May 21. In May we'll go over goals and objectives for the garden again.
b. Hilde Performance Center update. Mary displayed an architectural model. It will have an
unfinished basement. The architects are back at work. Al Hilde gave his approval to the
plans. They are now doing schematics. When those are finished, they will be presented to
PRAC. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of July. An open house will be held on
April 25, from 5-7 p.m., on the performance center. PRAC is not required to attend, but
Eric would like to have some members attend if possible. The EAW is being published
PRAC Minutes/April 2001
Page 19 f
shortly. Letters about the open house are going out to a large section of the community
adjacent to City Hall. The EAW goes to the Planning Commission on May 2. Mary
explained that EAW stands for Environmental Assessment Worksheet.
c. Comprehensive Plan presentation - Barry Warner. Barry gave a presentation on the
comprehensive plan. He stated that the Metropolitan Council mandated that all
metropolitan communities update their comprehensive plans. The City Council, staff, and
various commissions thought it was an opportune time to update the policies that guide
the community. There are many other reasons for undertaking a comprehensive plan: new
growth as well as redevelopment, it's a good time to reaffirm or develop new policies, it
provides a good opportunity for fiscal management, it is a framework for decision
making, it provides a resource for the residents, and it provides staff with supporting
materials for grant applications. Barry began his presentation with figure 8-1. We have
more than one kind of park category - city parks, neighborhood parks, trails and
sidewalks, natural areas that are both public and private, city owned open space, and a
subcategory of regional facilities. There is also a recreation chapter dealing with
programming, facilities, etc. Commissioner Fiemann asked for clarification of what
facilities are under the recreation section. Mary stated the fieldhouse, the Plymouth Creek
Center, the Ice Center, etc. Graphic 8-1 describes the park types, which provides a much
greater definition by classification for each park category within the system. Barry said
this is important because there are often times misunderstandings on the part of the
residents regarding the differences between neighborhood and community parks and
playfields. He displayed a graphic of the park system plan, which provides vision for the
long term development of the community. An important discussion point that most
communities get into is neighborhood park service areas. Figure 8-4 defined this. He said
it is difficult to fulfill everyone's understanding of what a neighborhood park is.
Typically, neighborhood parks are within 1/2 mile walking distance of the residents
living there, are free from barriers such as major roadways whenever possible, and are
reasonably accessible by the neighborhood using non -motorized transportation. Barry
explained that early on, prior to the development of the park system plan, we had small
parcels that had come into the city's ownership by way of dedication from developers.
They were not up to par with other neighborhood parks, but the residents expected them
to have the same amenities. Commissioner Singer asked for an example of one.
Commissioner Musliner suggested neighborhood 17, Gateway Park. Mary stated that this
park was actually requested by a resident. A better example is of this is Queensland Park.
Barry then discussed Table 8-6 and said the City has enjoyed a good working
relationship with the schools. Many of our facilities are co -developed with the schools.
This table is a good indicator of the joint use of facilities for both indoor and outdoor
facilities. Table 8-9 shows possible future special facilities - indoor playground, bark
park, miniature golf, outdoor pool/waterpark, etc. Figure 8-5 indicates public and private
golf courses within Plymouth and within close proximity to Plymouth and to what extent
public and private courses are available to the residents. Map 8-6 is the City trail and
sidewalk plan. We have a very healthy trail system, plus good regional facilities. Barry
pointed out that the segment on the south side of Medicine Lake is currently under
construction and is scheduled to open July 1. There are some small pieces that have to be
completed to connect Medicine Regional Trail to the Luce Line. Hennepin Parks is also
PRAC Minutes/April 2001(/_ 07 -
L
Page 20 t
completing a segment through Golden Valley. This will enable Plymouth residents to ride
all the way into Minneapolis. Figure 8-11 shows the ultimate trail and sidewalk system
plan for the city. Yellow depicts trails that may be considered on both sides of the
roadway. Circles in red designate intersections where improving the pedestrian crossings
might be considered. The Northwest Greenway is an integral element of the trail plan. It
is also a natural resource element. Discussion then turned to the roadway crossings and
intersections depicted in Table 8-14. Accomplishing these recommended improvements
will take the combined cooperation of Plymouth, Hennepin County, MNDot, and some
expenditure of money. The dividend is pedestrian safety. Figure 8-12 is the Northwest
Greenway concept. The Greenway would stretch roughly from Wayzata High School and
the Elm Creek. Playfield eastward to Mud Lake Park and the future North Hennepin
Regional Trail. This project would accomplish several goals — preservation of upland
ecological resources, establishment of wildlife corridors and connections, creation of a
framework for acquisition of high quality open space, linkage among city—owned parks,
trails, and open space, and long distance recreational opportunities. Map 8-13 shows
City—owned open space, including that which was purchased with the 1995 bond
referendum. Map 8-14 gives some hierarchy to existing open spaces that are not
currently owned by the city or any other agency. Barry then discussed the implementation
chapter of the comprehensive plan. This chapter provides guidance to policy makers and
staff for the timing and priority of a wide range of strategies recommended to carry out
the plan. Some implementation strategies are on—going City activities that will be
continued and others are new initiatives. Lastly, Barry discussed the Appendix. Part A
consists of an inventory of park facilities. For each park there was an inventory sheet that
was put together. This provided an understanding of what each park is about, acreage,
adjacent land uses, existing facilities within each park, and the identification of proposed
facilities. The appendix also includes a sport by sport analysis of every organized activity
within the city, trail design standards, natural resources evaluation, park prototypes, and a
summary of all the recreation programming currently offered in the city. Chair Anderson
said the Northwest Greenway and the golf courses will be PRAC's next big challenges.
Barry said he thinks the Northwest Greenway will be a fun project for PRAC. Mary said
we currently have a development proposal being reviewed where we are asking for our
first dedication for the Northwest Greenway. The Greenway features a looping system,
which will give residents access to many neighborhoods. Commissioner Fiemann pointed
out the flexibility of this looping system. Mary then discussed the recreation chapter of
the comprehensive plan. She explained the mission statement and distributed copies of it.
Our primary focus is on quality of life. Current trends that were noted in the recreation
chapter include: aging population, diversity, environmental emphasis, wellness,
prevention, world economy, meaningful leisure activity, flexibility, and volunteerism.
Mary stated that people have a need to feel connected. They are looking for things that
are convenient and flexible. The arts are becoming very popular. An example of this is
the growing interest in the Primavera Fine Arts Celebration. Special events are important
to the community — we now have them almost every month. Sports are the City's largest
programming area. There are a wide variety of opportunities available across all age
ranges. Teens are becoming more of a challenge for us. When we hire our new recreation
coordinator, teen programming will be one of their main focuses. Mary explained that
collaboration is a big item for us as it is for a lot of different agencies. We can't do it all,
PRAC Minutes/April 2001
Page 21
so we collaborate with other agencies. Visiting historic sites is becoming a rapidly
growing outdoor recreation activity. Working with the Historical Society to develop a list
of the top 10 sites in Plymouth has been discussed. Commissioner Musliner asked about
the possibility of some type of teen facility occupying the lower level of the Plymouth
Creek Center. Mary said a discussion is taking place on that. There currently is no floor
there, no lights, no heating, or cooling. Anytime you finish a public building there are a
lot of requests for use of the space. It would be very costly at this point to make this space
available for occupancy.
Chair Anderson thanked Barry for his presentation. Barry said he would be happy to
return anytime to discuss the plan further.
d. Skate park. Mary stated that Director Blank had a meeting with interested kids. Twenty
nine volunteered to be on the Advisory Board. The board will meet on April 23. Topics
for discussion will include types of equipment to install and a code of conduct.
e. Greenwood sports upgrade. Bids were opened but nothing has been decided yet.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Senior program presentation — Sara Mittelstaedt. Sara distributed some information about
the senior program and copies of the Senior Grapevine newsletter. A volunteer does all
the typing, puts in all the graphics, etc. On page 10-11, to save space, he included the
special interest groups in a grid. Many of these kinds of groups have been added since
moving to the Plymouth Creek Center. Sara pointed out the special event in April — May
Baskets and Magic, an event for kids and their parents/grandparents. Sara stated that the
Plymouth senior program has grown in every aspect since 1999. Total clients served went
from 1,178 to 1,495. Those numbers depict unduplicated participation. The number of
meals served went from 26 to 70, individuals being served those meals went from 1,340
to 2,850. This includes Lunch Express and senior luncheons. Participants involved in
health services such as flu shots, screenings, walking, exercise, yoga, nutrition classes,
etc., increased from 4,850 to 9,315. Sara said the senior club began 30 years ago. Of the
176 members in the Plymouth Senior Club, seven are 90 or older. The youngest member
is 63. Sara also had a list of "dreams" she'd like to see for the Plymouth Seniors. Her list
included offering more services to the oldest clients, such as vision and hearing loss
support groups, home visiting volunteers who would visit home—bound seniors and bring
them candy and flowers on Valentine's Day, pies at Thanksgiving, and poinsettias at
Christmas, helping them get computers in their homes, so they could communicate with
the outside world. For the youngest seniors, she would like to have more evening
programs available. Her intergenerational goals include working toward bridging the
generation gap. Commissioner Musliner suggested contacting some of the schools to get
involved. Sara said the Youth Extending Services (YES) from Wayzata East will be
serving ice cream and cake at the volunteer recognition event. Commissioner Singer
asked how the Lunch Express was doing. Sara said it's been cancelled several times.
Tuesday is not a good day, but Thursday is doing quite well.
PRAC Minutes/April 2001
Page 22
b. Volunteer program presentation — Nancy Anderson. Nancy thanked PRAC for their
support of the volunteer program. She then gave an informative power point presentation.
The program consists of 835 volunteers, with a value added of $192,182. Staff who work
with volunteers — 39. The gender breakdown showed that those volunteers are 51%
women, 49% men. There's a broad age range of volunteers — youngest are 14, up to those
in their 80's. The youth account for 20% of volunteers, retirees 18%. Six volunteers are
from other countries — China, Australia, Germany, and Russia. Volunteers live in 33
different communities besides Plymouth. Nearby communities include Maple Grove,
Hamel, Medina, and Golden Valley. Some also work here but live elsewhere. They come
from Clearwater, Buffalo, and Monticello. Community participation comes from the
Rotary Club, Lions Club, Women of Today, businesses like Prudential, Target, US Bank,
Wells Fargo Bank, Franklin Bank; and school districts of Wayzata, Robbinsdale, and
Osseo. Nancy attends the Youth Involvement Fair at Robbinsdale Armstrong High
School, where she presents volunteer opportunities to juniors and seniors who need to
earn credits for their social studies. The benefits to the community include: building
connections between participants and the city, strengthening community pride, enhancing
quality of life, increasing community knowledge and support, and the volunteers become
ambassadors of good will. Benefits to staff include: productivity is enhanced, diversity,
partnerships are formed, staff have opportunity to develop supervisory skills, city
services achieve a higher level of quality, repetitious tasks can be delegated, and new
insights can occur. Benefits to volunteers include: new skills, career exploration,
socializing, feeling involved and appreciated, meeting new people, learning about the
community. Nancy stated that 93% of the volunteers are placed in the park and recreation
department. This number is so high because 78% of the positions are in park and
recreation, and everyone in the department makes use of the volunteers. Of the 24 new
positions, 66% were in park and recreation. Examples are the front desk greeters at the
Plymouth Creek Center, the fundraiser for the Millennium Garden, wedding coordinators
at the Plymouth Creek Center (however, this is being phased out), the Chocolate Sampler,
History Fest guides, Lunch Express, and the photo brigade. Other park and recreation
volunteers include: Stewards for Greening Plymouth, Plymouth Fine Arts Council, data
entry, public relations for the senior program, editor for seniors' newsletter, art displays,
coaches clinics' assistant, McGruff, preschool aides, event planners, special mailings,
Adopt A—Park program, special plantings, ski chaperones, soccer coaches, summer teen
volunteer program, water safety aide program, Fire & Ice Festival, Primavera, Autumn
Art Fair, Plymouth on Parade, etc. Nancy then showed a graph displaying the number of
volunteers by year, which was followed by a graph showing volunteer hours by year. The
last chart showed the value added, which is $14.83 x the total volunteer hours. What sets
our program off from other communities is that every department in the city of Plymouth
uses volunteers. Nancy stated that she is amazed by the talented people that come
forward. This program works only because the City Council, staff, advisory boards and
commissions, etc., are supportive. Commissioner Musliner said that the city is fortunate
to have both Nancy and Sara on staff. She thanked them for all the hard work they do.

8. STAFF COMMUNICATION
Commissioner Meyer asked if letters had been sent again to the residents surrounding the
Environmental Park. Mary said yes and that another development is being proposed just to
the north of the playground. We are hoping to get two acres of dedication from that
development, which may mean that we may be able to shift the playground a little to the
north.

Dear Lenny:
The City of Plymouth is planning to build a skate park behind the Ice Center on 3650 Plymouth
Boulevard. We have a committee of young teens and staff working on the design of the skate
park and the equipment it should include.
I will add your name to the mailing list of youth interested in the skate park, so that I can keep
you informed of what's going on. If you have any other questions, please feel free to give me a
call.
Sincerely,
. S -z— 6hne

MRS. MAYOR
I think you should put a public skate park in Plymouth. The closest one is in Hopkins and my friends and
I have to get someone to drive us all the way there and back. It also costs alot of money because it's not a
public park. My friends and I wish you would put one in plymouth so we could just bike there when we
want to.
Sincerely yours, Lenny Riley

April 17, 2001
Dear Mayor:
As you are doubtless aware, the Minnesota Legislature is considering a measure
known as the Concealed Weapons Reform Bill. This bill would allow the vast
majority of Minnesotans to carry concealed firearms and would place the burden
of proof on the state if law enforcement officials should decide to deny an
application for a concealed weapon permit.
This bill, which Governor Ventura has indicated he would sign, has passed the full
House but was defeated on a voice vote in the Senate Crime Committee on
April 6. 1 applaud the Senate committee's action and am writing to urge you to
oppose this bill.
]-do not believe the answer to the violence problems we face today lies in the
proliferation of firearms. A large number of law enforcement officers across the
state agree with this simple assessment. I believe that increasing the availability
of firearms will only serve to increase their use and that is something we should
try to avoid.
1 also believe that large numbers of Minnesotans are unaware of exactly what the
Concealed Weapons Reform Bill would allow. Here in Duluth, we are working
with a variety of local groups to raise awareness about this bill and what it entails,
but we know that we have a lot of work to do.
I am writing to ask for your support in defeating the Concealed Weapons Reform
Bill. if enough Minnesotans make their voices heard, we believe we will carry the
day and perform an important task that will make our cities safer. Thank you for
your consideration.
Sincerely,
�a-6 ,. :D --j

A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities April 27, 2001
PERA legislation
advances in Senate,
stalls in House
Contact your House member
The recommendations of the
Legislation Commission on Pensions
& Retirement to address the PERA
coordinated plan deficiency have
stalled in the House Legislative
inaction could increase the PERA
coordinated plan's shortfall by an
additional $70 million each year
League discussions with key mem-
bers of the House indicate that the
rank and file House membership
currently does not believe the pension
issue is a high priority Although a
delayed legislative response may
prevent immediate pressure on
property taxes to fund the necessary
contribution increases, the funding
deficiency will not magically disap-
pear. In fact, the ultimate cost will
only continue to rise
Action Needed
Please contact your House member
• Urge them to address the PERA
coordinated plan deficiency this
year.
• Also, urge them to approve an
annual state contribution to the
plan to reduce pressure on
local property taxes. In the past,
the state has contributed state
resources to other plans to assist
with those funding deficiencies.
Given that the state sets benefit
levels and contribution rates, we
believe state assistance to the
PERA shortfall is justified.
On Wednesday, the Senate State
Government Committee merged the
two major pension bills and approved
the bill including provisions that will
begin to address the PERA coordi-
nated plan's funding deficiency. Under
the Senate bill, employer contributions
would increase by 0.35 percent
beginning on Jan. 1, 2002, and an
additional 0.35 percent on Jan. 1,
2003. Employee contributions would
be increased by equivalent amounts
The Senate bill also appropriates a
mere $2 million in state resources
to reduce the needed employer/
employee contribution increases
and would make modifications to
the plan that will, over time, help
address the fund's deficiency. These
plan modifications include the
implementation of a partial service
credit and a delay in the amortiza-
tion date until 2031.
Although Education Minnesota, the
state's teacher's union, has opposed
a provision that would transfer school
PERA employees to their retirement
fund, the Senate bill still contains
the transfer language. A Pension
Commission recommendation that
would have transferred the funding
of excess mortality costs from the
active fund to the post fund was
eliminated from the final Senate bill.
Tax committees delay
omnibus bills
The House Tax Committee has
delayed the release of its omnibus
tax bill until Monday. The delay was
apparently forced by disagreement
among House Republicans about
the content of the bill, including the
magnitude of income tax cuts and
property tax reform.
The bill will apparently contain many
of the property tax reforms pro-
posed by the governor, including
additional property tax class rate
compression, a state takeover of the
general education property tax levy,
and a new state -imposed property
tax that will be applied to businesses
and possibly cabins. We believe it is
likely that the House will use city
HACA to pay for the state takeover
of the general education levy, but we
believe it is unlikely cities will be
granted a sales tax exemption for
their purchases
The bill will likely contain a reverse
referendum provision for counties
and cities over 2,500 population.
The reverse referendum would
require that a city hold an election if
a number of citizens equal to 5 per-
cent that voted in the last general
election sign a petition challenging
a property tax levy increase If the
voters do not support the levy
increase, the city's levy would be
reduced to the previous year's
amount
On Monday morning, the committee
chair will unveil the bill and the
members will walk through the initial
draft. On Tuesday, the committee
will take public testimony on the bill
On Wednesday, the committee will
mark up the bill.
The Senate Tax Committee still has
not unveiled the specifics of their
bill We expect the Senate will
finalize their bill in the near future.
Currently, the Senate may be
considering changes to the LGA
formula and appropriation, additional
property class rate compression,
and at least a partial state takeover
of general education property taxes.
The Senate bill will not likely contain
levy limits, nor will it contain a
reverse referendum. The sales tax
exemption for local government
purchases has not been ruled out,
but the bill might only contain an
for more information on city legislative issues, contact any member of the League of Minnesota Cities Intergovernmental Relations team.

Redevelopment Account
lacks adequate funding
Early indications of legislative support
for state funding for redevelopment
activities now appears to be in
question. Early in the session, Rep.
Bob Gunther (R -Fairmont) and
Sen Randy Kelly (DFL -St Paul)
introduced legislation that would
have appropriated 515 million for
the Department of Trade and
Economic Development's (DIED)
Redevelopment Account Unfortu-
nately, funding anywhere near this
level has not been included in the
omnibus bills.
The House Omnibus Jobs & Eco-
nomic Development Finance bill
does not contain an appropriation
for the program, while the Senate
has provided only 51 5 million.
Efforts are underway to obtain
funding through state bonding
proceeds, but an appropriation is
still critical.
Please contact your legislators and
share your concerns with the
apparent lack of adequate funding
for DTED's Redevelopment Account
House approves keg
registration
On Monday, the House approved on
a 114-20 vote a bill introduced by
Rep. Steve Dehler's (R -St Joseph)
that would enable beer kegs to
be traced back to their original
purchaser. While similar legislation
has been introduced in the past, this
is the first time it has made it all the
way to the floor. Much of this success
is attributable to support from several
liquor industry trade groups. Others
supporting the bill included the
League of Minnesota Cities, Mothers
Against Drunk Driving, and organi-
zations representing youth concerned
with underage drinking.
League of Minnesota Cities
2001
Annual Conference
LMC's 88" Annual Conference
June 19-22, 2001
Duluth, Minnesota
The Senate companion bill never
made its way through the channels
in that body, but the omnibus liquor
bill still awaits floor action and is a
possible vehicle for a keg registra-
tion amendment.
Transportation update
House and Senate finance and tax
committees reviewed and passed
their respective omnibus transporta-
tion bills this week, SF 2340
(Johnson, D., DFL -Willmar) and
HF 2189 (Molnau, R -Chaska).
The Senate bill is expected to be
discussed on the floor Friday The
House will most likely take up their
version of the transportation omni-
bus bill on Tuesday Also next week,
each body will appoint five members
for the conference committee, which
will likely start at the end of the week
See next week's Bulletin for additional
information, or contact Jennifer
O'Rourke at (651) 281-1261 or

Attend LMC's premier conference event of the year and renew

The Story Behind Excellence
Rod Raymond Director, Life Fitness Wellness, UMD
Triathlete Rod Raymond is the director of the premier university fitness and wellness program in the country, at
r the University of Minnesota, Duluth. His desire for excellence is second to none. As an accomplished athlete and
exceptional teacher, Rod challenges both his body and his spirit. He was selected to compete in two Olympic
Trials competitions and was the winner of the prestigious Border -to -Border Triathlon, the Scottish Coast -to -
Coast, and the Swiss Gigathlon and Trans Swiss ultra -endurance races. The Statesman Newspaper declares that
Rod is one of the most fit ultra -endurance athletes in the world.
Rod Raymond believes that life must be lived inside out rather than outside in. His Today Is The Day message has reached
thousands of people across the world through seminars and speaking engagements. Rod's experience and knowledge comes
from countless hours of research and rigorous physical training and travel, as well as from leading coaches, professional
trainers and business leaders.
In The Story Behind &rellence, Rod blends three essential ingredients of healthy lifestyle development—three healthful
approaches to living that will provide busy elected officials the endurance and positive attitude they need to be effective
leaders in their communities. Rod tells us what he's learned about developing the discipline needed to achieve dreams; about
the science of portraying positive energy in a world riddled with negativity-, and he shares his secrets for achieving and
maintaining optimal health. Rod Raymond's message will inspire Minnesota elected officials to succeed in the marathon of
public service, to lead with consistent energy, positivity and a healthful attitude,
