This tends to be when children engage in more outdoor activities, are more mobile, supervised less, and have more free time. This summer Plymouth Firefighters have teamed with North Memorial Hospital, and the Minnesota Safety Council's Safe Kid's Campaign to promote a safe summer. Together, they urge families to take simple steps to ensure their kids stay out of emergency rooms. Close supervision, proper protective gear, and other simple prevention steps will help your child avoid danger. This summer, children will be rushed to emergency rooms nearly 3 million times for serious injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes, drownings, bike crashes, pedestrian incidents, falls, and other Hazards. More than 2,500 of these injured children will die. While summer is often thought of as the "fun" season for kids, emergency room doctors know it as the "trauma season," according to Fire Chief Richard Kline. For a list of web sites that provide information on safety, call the Plymouth Fire Department at 763- 509-5198. Ride Safe! ■ Make sure your kids are secured in the appropriate child safety seat or safety belt for their age and size. ■ Kids should always be secured in the back seat. ■ Study both your vehicle owner and child safety seat manuals carefully. ■ Attend a car seat clinic.

Now aa RLAaiCE YOUR BOAT AD *HUME Mf HO FOR Published Friday, May 18, 2001 f; Speaker: Taming traffic must involve us all l Laurie Blake / Star Tribune The United States is the most car -dominated nation in the world because, historically, movement has equaled freedom, traffic - Reining in traffic calming activist David Engwicht said Thursday in St. Paul. But so many problems result from that equation -- congestion, air pollution, neighborhood stress -- that there is reward to be found in moving less and devoting less of our communal space to movement, he told an audience of traffic engineers and urban planners at the St. Paul World Trade Center. Instead of trying to find a fix for congestion and traffic problems, what's needed is a change in attitude that will motivate people to curb their driving habits and return to the streets in front of their homes to walk, play and socialize, he said. "The impossible cultural change of today becomes the accepted norm of tomorrow," he said. Engwicht is here from Brisbane, Australia, at the invitation of the St. Paul City Council to stir new thinking about a problem facing many neighborhoods: What can be done about cut -through traffic, speeding and rude drivers? Before he leaves, he will have held five sessions with various audiences. The best remaining opportunity for members of the public to hear him will be Saturday morning at Arlington High School in St. Paul. Among his many suggestions is that individuals take simple opportunities to reduce their driving by walking or biking and putting off errands until there are several to do on one trip. His inventions include something he calls the "walking school bus," which is an adult with a pushcart for carrying books who leads children to school along a pedestrian route. http://webserv6.st... /article?thisSlug=CALM18&date=l8-May-2001&word=laurie&word=blak 5/18/01 Speaker: Taming traffic must involve us all Page 2 of 3 Engwicht is a soft-spoken, middle-aged man who describes himself as a generalist, not an expert. His ideas for calming traffic are catching on around the globe because he looks at the problem from the point of view of the resident, not the motorist. Most adults have both a motorist's and a resident's perspective, he said. The motorist values speed in getting to destinations. The resident is rooted and concerned about home and neighborhood. When we are on the road, we forget about the resident, and when at home, we think of other drivers as the problem, Engwicht said. "The bad car on the road is always somebody else's," he said. This places an impossible demand on cities, Engwicht said. "How do we get people to renegotiate the balance between the resident and the motorist in their head? "We say: 'You've got a traffic problem on your street? I can show you how to calm it. All you've got to do is put a sticker on your car, observe the speed limit, stop [for pedestrians] and be courteous."' Engwicht calls this the "neighborhood pace car program," which includes decals for cars. But a total solution for residential traffic problems must also involve using streets more often for activities other than driving, he said. In his view, the loss of our streets was the result of a domino effect of individual decisions. One mother forbade her son to play in the street, and others followed her example. Once the kids were moved to the sidewalk, car speeds increased. Seeing that, parents moved their kids to the back yards, and again speeds went up. In some cases streets have become so hostile that people even abandon front rooms of their homes to escape the noise and intrusion, he said. "Our retreat from the street has invited the traffic to go faster," he said. He said that slowing the traffic and reclaiming the street is a slow process, starting with people spending more time on their front http://webserv6.st... /article?thisSlug=CALM18&date=l8-May-2001&word=laurie&word=blak 5/18/01 Speaker: Taming traffic must involve us all Page 3 of 3 lawns, holding block parties in the street or putting out objects of R&W UFA interest to catch drivers' attention.

Project Reviews. A. SC2001-03 Lindelof Office/Warehouse, Brooklyn Park. Approval of a stormwater management plan for construction of a 1.14 acre office/warehouse building on a 7.3 acre site located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Winnetka and 73rd Avenues (7345 Winnetka Avenue North). Following completion, approximately 41 % (three acres) of the site will be converted to impervious area. A complete project review was received March 1, 2001. Runoff from the three acres of parking and rooftop areas will be routed to a proposed stormwater pond with a permanent pool volume of 0.44 ac -ft, meeting the Commission's requirements. The pond has been designed to meet NURP standards for water quality treatment and discharges west to an MNDNR protected wetland which is part of Shingle Creek. There will be no wetland impacts associated with this project. (The Commission is the WCA LGU.) Building lowest floor elevations specified satisfy the Commission's one -foot freeboard requirements for 100 -year flood elevations. There is an approximately 3.3 acre floodplain on site. There will be no floodplain impacts associated with the project. An erosion control plan satisfying Commission requirements has been received. Motion by Nummer, second by Larson directing the consultant to notify the City of Brooklyn Park that approval of project SC2001-03 is hereby granted pending receipt in the office of the Commission's engineer of the following: 1. Placement of silt fence around NWL and HWL of stormwater pond. 2. Detail showing 6" and 18" outlet orifices. 3. Dedication of easement around stormwater pond. 4. An Operations and Maintenance Plan maintaining the NURP pond. The plan shall be provided to the City in the form of a recordable agreement that assures the designated operation and maintenance procedures will be faithfully executed. Motion carried. B. SC2001-04 Humboldt Greenway Phase H, Minneapolis. Approval of a stormwater management plan for street reconstruction and alignment, pond calculations and trail construction associated with this Shingle Creek enhancement project. Location of the project is 50th Avenue between Humboldt and Dupont Avenues, 49th Avenue between Girard and Lyndale Avenues, and Shingle Creek Drive between Humboldt and 45th Avenues North. The project review was verbally authorized. The proposed project involves widening of approximately 197 linear feet of Shingle Creek and construction of a 0.37 acre stormwater pond to collect and treat stormwater runoff. Drainage improvements are planned for approximately 4.67 acres. Runoff from 1.89 acres of the surrounding city storm sewer will be routed to the proposed stormwater pond which has a permanent pool volume of 1.11 ac - ft, meeting the Commission's requirements for dead pool storage. The pond has been designed to meet NURP standards for water quality treatment and discharges into Shingle Creek. There are no wetlands on site. (The City is the WCA LGU.) BROOKLYN CENTER • BROOKLYN PARK • CRYSTAL • MAPLE GROVE • MINNEAPOLIS • NEW HOPE • OSSEO • PLYMOUTH • ROBBINSDALE Minutes April 12, 2001 page 3 SHINGLE CREEK WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COMMISSION Shingle Creek will be excavated to widen the current stream cross section and line with boulders to create a riffle effect. the riffles will provide oxygenation of the stream, allowing a more diverse aquatic life within the confines of the creek. The widening of the creek will also create an additional 331 CY of channel volume. There is no floodplain encroachment associated with this project. The City owns the area where the proposed pond is located; therefore, no easement is needed. Motion by Boeck, second by B. Johnson directing the consultant to notify the City of Minneapolis that approval of project SC2001-04 is hereby granted pending receipt in the office of the Commission's engineer of plan showing placement of erosion control around NWL and HWL of proposed stormwater pond.

Approval of a stormwater management plan for reconstruction of TH100 from 40th Avenue to Twin Lake, including grading, surfacing, noise and retaining walls, and bridges. Following completion, approximately 42% of the 100 acre site will be converted to impervious area, an increase of 13% over existing conditions. The project review was verbally authorized. Runoff from the 42 acres of impervious areas will be routed to four proposed stormwater ponds having a permanent pool volume of 14.5 ac -ft, meeting the Commission's requirements. The Boat Ramp Pond and the CSAH81 pond have been designed to meet NURP standards for water quality treatment and discharge into Twin Lakes. There are no wetlands on site. (The Commission is the WCA LGU.) The floodplain encroachment of Twin Lakes associated with this project will result in a minimal increase of 0.02' in the 100 -year flood elevation. for 100 -year flood elevations. An erosion control plan satisfying Commission requirements has been received. Motion by Nummer, second by B. Johnson directing the consultant to notify the City of Minneapolis that approval of project SC2001-05 is hereby granted pending receipt in the office of the Commission's engineer of the following: 1.

In that letter you asked several questions which I will answer. One of the questions asked was why were you not given the opportunity by the City of Plymouth to purchase your entire property. Your property is at the southern end of the current project. At the City's request, the County agreed, along with this construction project, to build the County Road 24 intersection to its ultimate configuration. Originally, the County had the current project ending at County Road 24. They have a future project on County Road 101 from County Road 24 to County Road 6 for construction at a later date. If all of the County Road 24 intersection had not been completed at this time, the southerly end of the project would have been between County Road 24 and 30th Place, and would not have impacted your property at this time. To construct the complete improvement of the County Road 24 intersection, County Road 101 needs will be constructed to its final configuration between 30th Avenue and 30th Place. This is the reason the offer to purchase homes stopped at 301h Place. The improved road will then transition into the existing roadway adjacent to your property. When the County continues the improvement of County Road 101 southerly to County Road 6, the area adjacent to your property will need to be modified and the roadway widened. The City, with the agreement of the County, gave the opportunity to eight homes along the permanent improvement to sell the entire property to the City as an option to the County only acquiring a strip of land necessary for the road construction. It was not necessary to totally acquire any of these properties. When the County continues the road improvements in the future, I do not know if the City will provide this same opportunity to other properties adjacent to that project. The City will have public information meetings on the project, and you can address this matter with the City Council at that time. The remainder of the County Road 101 project is in the County's current Capital Improvements Program 1Apw\EWgin=inS\PR0JECI'S\1M- 1999M05\ m\2oo1wCk s 11-&C PLYMOUTH ABeautifufPface?o Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (612) 509-5000 90• .� W www.d.plymouth.mn.us Clinton Asche Page 2 for 2004, but that may be modified by the County based on funds available and other projects within the County. The County adopts their program annually. Another question you asked is concerning whether there will be a walking/running path adjacent to your property. With this construction project, the trail will begin at 30cn Avenue and extend northerly. There will be no trail constructed adjacent to your property at this time and there is no trail adjacent to your property shown on the construction plan for this project. The City's Trail Plan does indicate that when the future improvement project is undertaken, the trail would be extended southerly and adjacent to your property. The last question you address in your letter was homes that were built in the area of County Road 6 and I-494. The City of Plymouth has an independent agency known as the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) which is involved in housing programs for the City. In 1985, the HRA did have a program where some property owned by them was divided into four lots and the lots were sold to qualified families as part of their program. The City has no control over group homes that are established in accordance with State law. The State regulates these homes and has taken all authority away from the cities. If, as you state in your letter, one of the homes is being used as a group home, the City was not part of the approval process. With regard to the homes that the City has purchased on County Road 101, the agreement between the City and County states that the properties will be resold at fair market value. Along with all other properties in the City, these properties would then be used by the buyers in accordance with the City's regulation or requirements established by the State. If these do not provide adequate answers to your questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 763-509-5501. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

Tierney, Mayor City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor Tierney: This correspondence is in regards to the improvement in highway 101 project south of highway 55. I find that Plymouth has purchased numerous houses at the corner of 101 and county road 24. I have asked why I was not given the opportunity to also have Plymouth purchase my property. I can get not respond from Fred Moore, he tells me to contact Hennepin County. They tell me it up to Plymouth. Could you find out why I was not given the same opportunity? In contacting both people at Hennepin County and Plymouth I can not find out whether or not their will be a walking/running path in front of the house. No one will state there will be a path (it appears on the drawings this could happen) or guarantee there will not be a path. This does affect the value of the remaining property. Also I find when Plymouth and Hennepin County upgraded County Road 6 near the 494 freeway that houses/land that was purchased by Plymouth was used in your "affordable housing program" I do not know what restrictions were placed on the buyers, but I understand that presently one of the houses is being used as a "group home" for young individuals. There are numerous calls to the police department regarding problems that arise there. Are these home at County road 24 and 101 going to used for "affordable housing" also? If so I feel the area homeowners should be made aware of this. I shall look forward to the answers to these questions.

This process began in April 2001 and will take about 1-1/2 years. The requirements of these plans are laid out in Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410. The development of these plans will require a substantial commitment of your staff's time, as well as discussions with your City Council, advisory commissions, and residents. There will be a substantial cost as well, but we expect that the cost of updating the management plans will be funded in total from reserve funds being accumulated for this purpose, and that this should not require an increase in the annual apportionments. As one of the first steps in this process, the Commissions will be holding a large "public forum" in July 2001 to provide decision makers and the public with background information on the Commission's activities, and to identify problems and issues that should be addressed in this next ten year management plan. Prior to this large public meeting, we ask your help in identifying issues that are important to decision makers and the public in your community. The purpose of this exercise is to identify issues that are likely to be raised at the July meeting so the Commission can be ready to respond to those concerns. To assist you in this process, we have prepared a "one pager" that summarizes the second generation planning process and a worksheet with three questions intended to stimulate discussion. We would appreciate your response by Thursday, June 14, 2001, or as soon as possible thereafter. This first step unfortunately has a short timeframe, so we understand that many cities will not be able to go through a formal review process. You may choose to review this at the staff level and, if you have time available, obtain input from your Council and/or advisory commissions. We have provided some additional background material for you to use as you see fit, including a "History SHINGLE CREEK WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COMMISSION BROOKLYN CENTER • BROOKLYN PARK • CRYSTAL • MAPLE GROVE • MINNEAPOLIS • NEW HOPE • OSSEO • PLYMOUTH • ROBBINSDALE WEST MISSISSIPPI WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COMMISSION BROOKLYN CENTER • BROOKLYN PARK • CHAMPLIN • MAPLE GROVE • OSSEO WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COMMISSIONS Second Generation Planning May 14, 2001 page 2 of the Watershed" document that provides a good summary of what the watershed commissions are, why they are joint powers organizations, and what they do.

The Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions are Joint Powers Organizations charged with setting standards for and managing surface water in their respective watersheds. The members of Shingle Creek are: Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, New Hope, Osseo, Plymouth, and Robbinsdale. The members of West Mississippi are: Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Maple Grove, and Osseo. The Commissions are required by law to update their 1988 Watershed Management Plans, a process known as "Second -Generation Planning." This process began in April 2001 and will take about 1-%2 years. Minnesota Statutes and Administrative Rules prescribe very specific items that must be addressed in these Plans. However, the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and other agencies such as the DNR and the Met Council that oversee this process want these plans to be locally driven and to reflect local issues and concerns. It is very important to get local input at all stages of this planning process. This is especially important as with a Joint Powers type of organization, the Commissions simply establish minimum standards and the cities are responsible for implementation. This planning process is now underway. The Commissions have appointed a Steering Committee and have developed a policy document to guide this process. The Commissions will hold a public forum in July 2001 to obtain general public input. To help prepare for that meeting, the Commissions would like input from cities as to specific issues and concerns. The general issues to be discussed as a part of this process will include: o How well the Commissions have met the goals established in the first generation management plan; the development of future goals, and strategies and tactics for achieving them; and a process to monitor future performance. o Understanding the condition of water bodies in the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi watersheds; setting goals for future water quality; and establishing a process to monitor future performance. o Reviewing and evaluating the runoff collection system and storm water management for quantity and quality; control of erosion; protection of wetlands; prevention of flooding; protection of wildlife and fish habitat; and protection of groundwater resources. o Evaluating the effect of development and redevelopment on water quality and quantity in the watersheds. o Determining the role of the commission relative to other groups, organizations, agencies and boards that have a stake and a role in management of water in the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi watersheds. o Identifying and prioritizing improvements in the watershed for action by the Commissions and recommending action by other agencies or organizations. 0 Developing and implementing a comprehensive public information program. Areas managed by the Watershed Commissions are: ■ Runoff management (adequate storm sewer systems, standards for amount of discharge between communities, stormwater detention and storage, resolve and prevent flooding problems) ■ Floodplain management (prohibit encroachment, maintain flood storage capacity) ■ Shoreland management (local shoreland management ordinances) ■ Water quality monitoring (comprehensive and systematic monitoring) ■ Erosion and sedimentation control (local erosion control ordinances) ■ Stormwater treatment (standards for treatment, standards for quality of discharge between communities) ■ Wetlands management (preserve protected waters, administer Wetlands Conservation Act) ■ Groundwater protection (local groundwater protection ordinances) Thinking Big Picture, what do you think are the most important issues to be addressed in the next ten years in the watershed? (For example: preserve and protect water quality in lakes; retrofitting developed areas with stormwater treatment ponds; building more storm sewers; preserve and protect wetlands; control erosion of Mississippi River riverbanks.) 2. What do you think are the most important issues to be addressed in the next ten years in your city? 3. What are the kinds of issues people in your community think are important? What kinds of concerns have you heard from residents, property owners, developers, etc.?

WPD Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Organizations History and Activities In 1982 the Minnesota Legislature adopted the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act mandating that all watersheds within the seven county area be governed by a watershed management organization (WMO). The nine cities with land in the Shingle Creek watershed and five cities with land in the West Mississippi watershed entered into Joint Powers Agreements forming watershed management organizations charged with certain surface and ground water management functions. These functions include: • Alleviate damage from flood waters by requiring construction of facilities to drain or pond storm waters; • Improve creek channels for drainage; • Assist in planning for land use; • Assist in water conservation and the abatement of water pollution and the improvement of water quality; • Promote groundwater recharge; and • Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities. History Although the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions were formally established as WMOs under the basis of Joint Powers Agreements in 1984, the roots of these organizations go back to the early 1970's, when seven communities organized to jointly sponsor and fund the development of the 1974 Shingle Creek Basin Management Plan, "the Barr study." This management plan was developed largely in response to a USGS study of the metro area for the National Flood Insurance Program. Various city engineers and staff members believed parts of the USGS study establishing 100 and 500 -year flood elevations were in error and did not fully take into account local conditions such as the anticipated fully developed condition. During their discussions, they decided that a joint management study should be undertaken to more fully understand the nature of the watershed and its hydrology. The study recognized that future development in what were then largely undeveloped upstream communities such as Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Maple Grove, and Plymouth would have a dramatic impact on flood elevations in downstream, developed communities such as Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope, and Osseo. After the Barr study was completed and outstanding issues with the Flood Insurance Program resolved, the communities struggled with the next step. They were clearly interested in jointly managing the watershed through the application of common standards. They were also clearly interested in monitoring the entire watershed to assure the preservation of water quality and to reduce flooding potential. In the late 1970s Minnesota Statutes authorized communities to establish watershed management organizations, which could be accomplished by establishment of either a watershed district or a joint powers commission. Each of these types of organizations has its strengths and weaknesses. After extensive discussions, in 1979 the cities decided to form joint powers commissions for the following reasons: The cities were very clear that they did not wish to create "another layer of government," or more importantly, another taxing body. The Shingle Creek WMO annually conducts extensive water quality monitoring at three Shingle Creek locations. A USGS special study of Shingle Creek in 1996 found elevated levels of chloride in the creek during the winter months, which was enough to designate Shingle Creek as an impaired water for chlorides. There is some evidence that this may be a metro -wide problem, but there has been no systematic study of this phenomenon. Shingle Creek has initiated a regular sampling and testing program for chlorides, and is in the early stages of working with various agencies to do a wider diagnosis and analysis. Early indications are that the higher levels of chlorides can be traced to road salt use. • All of the water quality basins constructed in both watersheds as part of residential and commercial developments are inspected after construction to assure compliance with Commission requirements. Results of the inspection are passed on to the member community's engineering departments and they assure that any necessary work is completed. The local community generally requires a performance bond or other surety from the developer to assure that the work will be constructed satisfactorily. • The Shingle Creek WMO is participating in the Citizen -Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) through the MPCA and every year monitors five to six lakes on a rotating basis. • A profile survey and an inspection of Shingle Creek was recently performed, noting erosion, blockages, bank failures, and the need for repairs as well as the conveyance capacity of the channel. Local communities constructed improvements where necessary. • The Shingle Creek WMO funded a shoreline workshop in 1998 to promote aquascaping around lakes. • Both WMOs annually coordinate with, and provide financial support to, the Hennepin Conservation District for macroinvertebrate monitoring. The Shingle Creek WMO has also conducted its own biological monitoring at the three water -quality sampling sites. • A hydrologic model has been created and calibrated for the entire Shingle Creek watershed. • A diagnostic/feasibility study for Twin Lakes has been completed, including a nutrient budget and recommendations for water quality improvements to Twin Lakes. Several grant applications for improvements have been prepared and are still pending. • A review of water quality treatment provided by storm water detention ponds was recently performed for the entire Shingle Creek watershed, with an analysis of where new or expanded treatment could have the most impact on water quality in surface waters. Local Implementation The implementation of water resources management takes place at the local level, and the scale and nature of activity in the cities within the watershed varies from city to city and from year to year based on their unique circumstances: developing, fully developed, or redeveloping; emphasis on private projects versus regional public projects; and fiscal capacity. Cities actively reconstructing streets and utilities have unique opportunities to retrofit existing systems with ponds or other facilities on a very cost effective basis. Some of the cities in the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi watersheds are currently actively constructing or reconstructing infrastructure. Other cities may Shingle Creek/West Mississippi History and Activities page 3 problems that serves Minnetonka as well as Plymouth. At a cost of about $160,000, Plymouth completed a pond excavation/wetland enhancement project to provide storm water treatment for much of its central commercial area. • In 2000, Robbinsdale constructed a $150,000 pond project serving the new Hubbard Marketplace. Storm water/water quality projects undertaken by developers All cities enforce the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi requirements regarding water detention and treatment. All private development exceeding certain size requirements must provide detention and treatment on site or demonstrate that adequate detention and treatment is available in a regional or other facility. The cities within the watersheds are evenly split as to whether they require the watershed standards or the slightly more stringent NURP standards for pond facilities. Another requirement that all private developers must meet is adequate erosion control. Each project is reviewed by the commissions and includes water control features to ensure the water management goals of the watershed are met. • Brooklyn Center developers have constructed several ponds to satisfy local and watershed requirements, including: Hennepin County Government Center; Regal Theater; TGIFridays/Country Inn Suites; Extended Stay America/Motel 6/Franz Engineering; Wickes Distribution Center and Rainbow Foods. • Brooklyn Park has required private developers to construct storm water detention and treatment for over 450 acres of commercial and industrial property in Shingle Creek and 1,100 acres (residential) and 420 acres (commercial) in West Mississippi. • Recent private projects in Crystal where storm water treatment was required include: Industrial Equities; Project for Pride in Living; and Parkside Addition, a development of single family homes and townhomes. • New Hope in its existing industrial parks has required building expansions to include water quality improvements in accordance with Shingle Creek Commission requirements. • Numerous ponds have been constructed in Plymouth by private developers. In addition, Plymouth has enacted a wetland buffer ordinance that restricts development adjacent to wetlands. All developers are required to show how they are minimizing runoff and increasing on-site water infiltration beyond the minimum NURP and erosion control requirements. Finally, Plymouth monitors and inspects over 200 sites annually for erosion control purposes, and requires noted deficiencies to be corrected. Surface water quality projects Almost all the cities have constructed numerous public and/or private facilities that control runoff and treat storm water. These have a beneficial effect on the quality of surface waters, substantially reducing pollutants. However, additional projects have been completed or are contemplated specifically to provide benefits to lakes or to Shingle Creek itself. • Brooklyn Center has started construction on a project intended as a first phase in improving water quality in Palmer Lake. Several storm sewers discharge directly into Palmer Lake. At some outfalls storm Shingle Creek/West Mississippi History and Activities page.5 Outreach Many of the cities within the watersheds have active outreach programs. These range from assisting lakeshore associations, to promoting use of phosphorus free fertilizer, to providing educational materials to schools. All of the cities have some type of a citizen commission that reviews and provides recommendations to their city councils on environmental matters, such as a park commission or an environmental commission. All of the cities have planning commissions that review private developments and that make recommendations on land use and zoning matters. • Brooklyn Center has an active Adopt -A -Park Program that includes frequent creek cleanups. Water quality information is occasionally included in the city newsletter. The City is in the very early stages of discussing a phosphorus free fertilizer ordinance. • Brooklyn Park through its Park and Recreation Department organizes an annual Shingle Creek clean up. The Operations and Maintenance Department has worked together with Hennepin Parks on a storm drain stenciling project. Minneapolis has an extensive outreach program. Catch basin stenciling has been performed since 1993. Clean Water Partnership educational materials were developed for the Chain of Lakes project. Minneapolis sponsors an annual Earth Day Watershed Cleanup, which includes Shingle Creek. The Lake Harriet Pesticide Project has helped educate residents about proper use of pesticides to reduce impacts on surface waters. Minneapolis sponsors a Citizen's Water Quality Education Committee that puts together and distributes educational materials. Water quality information is occasionally included in Solid Waste collection literature, the City Calendar, and on City Cable Channel. Plymouth is also very active in outreach. The Plymouth Environmental Quality Committee appointed by the City Council is responsible for many water quality initiatives. About $35,000 is budged for various educational programs in 2001. The past five years Plymouth has conducted an environmental fair in cooperation with area schools. The City has adopted and implemented a phosphorus free fertilizer ordinance that bans the use of phosphate -based fertilizer throughout the City. Other cities are now following Plymouth's lead. Plymouth has performed some catch basin stenciling and in 2001 will continue the program around Medicine Lake. Finally, Plymouth publishes the Environmental Extra, dedicated solely to environmental issues. This two-page section is published and distributed along with the City's newsletter. • Robbinsdale is working with citizen's groups to form lake associations. One of the goals of this activity is to educate residents about phosphorus free fertilizers. The city does plan to enact such an ordinance after suitable public education has taken place and residents are comfortable with the concept. Other Efforts Effective water resources management requires cities to enact various municipal controls. Several cities are actively preparing or have completed Erosion Control ordinances and Shoreland Management ordinances. In accordance with EPA requirements, Minneapolis was issued a NPDES Phase I permit on November 30, 2000. The other cities in the watersheds fall under the requirements of NPDES Phase II and will be focusing future efforts on meeting those requirements. Both Shingle Creek and West Mississippi will begin development of their second -generation management plans in 2001.

We did so because we felt it was important for all interested parties to have a chance to discuss the application further and we believed that based upon the comments of the Planning Commission and Council we needed to provide additional information to address the concerns which were expressed. Our Church does not have experience in zoning matters so may have made some procedural errors to date. For example, we thought it was important for us to keep our membership informed about the status of the application. We asked our members to inform the City of their concerns and support for the application. We are afraid that some of the comments received by the City may not have been relevant to the zoning issues involved. In any event, we would like the opportunity to appear before the City Council in the near future, perhaps at a work session, to discuss the relevant issues for the Church and the City. Plymouth is our home and we do not want any of our actions to be misunderstood. We want to work with you and we will work with you to seek resolution.

(Household and Outside Maintenance for Elderly) program in 2002. The program seeks to respond both to the demands Bob Bean created by a rapidly growing elderly population as well as to a concern for Secretary maintaining the housing stock of the city. Senior Community Services' H.O.M.E. program provides an efficient and cost-effective way to assist older Laurie LaFontaine Past President residents with home maintenance and homemaking services. John C. Boeder The Community Education Senior Services' Chore Project served Plymouth's Member -at -large older residents from 1983 until last summer, when District 281 designated the Gordon Hughes H.O.M.E. program to continue this work. Senior Community Services received Member -at -Large "pull out" funding from the District that will run out in 2002. The H.O.M.E. program provides a wide array of services, including exterior painting, Senator Rudy Boschwitz homemaking, yard work, snow removal and additional maintenance services. Peter Coyle We need Plymouth's financial support in order to maintain services to the city's Marty Guritz elderly residents. We are also seeking funds from Hennepin County and United Aiko Higuchi Way. Our goal is to keep a valuable service at a cost that is affordable to each Dwight Johnson funder. Gloria Johnson Kevin Krueger Senior Community Services has maintained a very low administrative overhead Rep. Ann Lenczewski for over twenty years operating between 5-10%. By comparison, United Way Dotty O'Brien requires its agencies to remain below 20% and the Charities Review Council Senator Gen Olson Curtis A. Pearson on sets 30% as reasonable. All the funding being requested from Plymouth for this Mary TA. Pear program would cover the direct costs of serving Plymouth elderly residents. Leonard J, Thiel Thomas Thorfinnson We look forward to serving the residents of Plymouth and would welcome the Tom Ticen opportunity to discuss this request in more detail.

Status of Several Bills: Update Pensions (PERA). The PERA provisions in the omnibus state dep,srtments bill (SF 2360) are being discussed and could be passed this session. Sireamlining Development, SF 1619 authored by Senator Rest has been amended onto HF 1310, the fees bill. HF 1310 as amended has, been sent to the House. Rep. Abrams, the House author, can either accept the bill or request a conference committee. At this time the bill has not been discussed on the House floor. 7 -ax Bill. The conference commit- tee: on HF2498, the omnibus tax bill, has been meeting. To date the committee has reviewed the bill and has engaged in discussions regarding levy limits and tax incre- meet financing. The Senate is opposed to the levy limits and reverse referendum. The TIF articles of each bill are significantly different and the chairs have indicated that they will probably attempt to resolve the TIF issues. Economic Development and Housing Omnibus Bill. The bill's (HF2486) conference committee has been meeting and has taken extensive testimony on several issues including inclusionary housing. The committee has begun to agree on language but the housing policy issues have not been resolved. Transit Funding_ Transportation Bill. The conference committee on SF2340 has met and discussed bill differences and similarities but has not discussed compromise. Sev- eral meetings have been cancelled due to the lack of targets. The House version has no transit increases and little for highways except the 60% MVET constitu- tional amendment. The Senate provides a reasonable transit increase but with a full rebate of $850m being discussed its unclear just where transit and highway funding will end up.

A weekly legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities May 18, 2001 How (or when) will it end? Only 84 hours remain in 2001 session One of the most bizarre legislative sessions in recent memory took a step closer to meltdown Wednesday and Thursday as the House, Senate, and governor apparently failed to reach any agreement on tax and spending targets—just four days before the constitutional end of the session On Thursday, the governor announc- ed that if the Legislature could not complete its work, he would not call a special session until after the state's fiscal year begins on July 1 If that occurs. state agencies would run out of money and would not be able to continue operations The lack of a state budget will not directly affect the appropriations for LGA and HACA distributed to cities These programs contain separate, ongoing appropriation language in Minnesota statutes However, the Department of Revenue would apparently have no staff to issue the LGA and HACA warrants to cities Other state appropriations to cities, such as road funds distributed under the municipal state aid (MSA) formula, would apparently not be made without new appropriation language Even if an agreement can be reached today, closure of the session may be logistically impossible Legislative staff have openly discussed the difficulty in processing the massive amount of language contained in the eight omnibus spending bills and the omnibus tax bill Compounding matters, several of the major conference committees, including the transportation and the environ- ment omnibus conference commit- tees canceled meetings on Thursday evening The Tax Conference Committee met until shortly after 7 p.m , but only discussed and acted on relatively minor provisions that were consis- tent between the House and Senate positions. The State Departments Committee met until after midnight, but without targets they could not reach any final agreement on any major components of their bills Apparently, House and Senate leadership are still discussing a plan to pass what amounts to a state "continuing budget resolution" that would provide minimum appropria- tions to state agencies to continue operations until the Legislature reconvenes next February. However, as of late last evening, there was no agreement between House and Senate leadership on this strategy This morning, the House and Senate are scheduled to take up their redistricting bills during their floor sessions. Given the conten- tiousness of these bills, we expect several hours of floor debate This means conference committees will not convene until later this afternoon In addition to the potential impacts on LGA, HACA, and MSA men- tioned above, failure to enact tax and spending measures before June 30 would have mixed impacts on cities No action on the PERA deficiency would increase the unfunded liability of the fund by an estimated $70 million State funding for wastewater programs would not be available The omnibus tax bill contains few, if any, essential elements for continued operation of local governments. Probably the greatest impact would be the indirect effects of having state agencies close. However, the potential negative political repercussions of failure to enact a state budget will likely push the Legislature to enact at least a stopgap solution Stay tuned P'nr r«nre inf?rmnrion nn city 1eoi51-1 ,e issues. rnnrart an'.) .Krmhrr of the League ofMinnesnfx 'rfiS'^ Xr.!^ nv—rnmental Relartinrs team.
