Crosswalk Safety Grant Awarded to Plymouth Police 1 ', 1 V
Page - I
For More Information Call: Date: June 6, 2001
Sgt. Larry Holzerland, (763) 509-5194
Plymouth Police Department
Minnesota Crosswalk Grant Awarded to Plymouth Police Department
The Plymouth Police Department is committed to keeping pedestrians safe and would like
to thank the Minnesota Safety Council for awarding the Department a Crosswalk Safety Grant.
Officers will use this grant to educate the public about Minnesota's crosswalk law and gain their
compliance with it not by focusing on negative reinforcement, citations and fines, but rather, by
heightening community awareness with high visibility activity and using positive reinforcement to
reinforce safe behavior.
All year long, outdoor enthusiasts -pedestrians, bicyclists, joggers, rollerbladers, skiers, etc. -
enjoy Plymouth's trails, parkways, sidewalks, and streets. "We want to keep people safe. No one
wants to get hurt or hurt someone else crossing a street. No matter what side of an injury you are
on, it can be a devastating experience," said Sgt. Holzerland. "We are looking forward to making a
difference through education." In the United States alone about 6,000 pedestrians are killed each
year and 100,000 others are injured in motor vehicle crashes. "Keeping pedestrians safe in Plymouth
is our goal," said Holzerland.
Minnesota State Statute requires motorists to stop and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians
at all marked and unmarked intersections where traffic control signals are not in operation. At
intersections with traffic control signals, pedestrians and motorists must comply with the signals. If
4 pedestrian has stepped off a curb at a marked crosswalk or at any intersection where there is no
traffic signal, they have the right-of-way. Motorists must stop for them; it's the law.
Crosswalk Safety Grant Awarded to Plymouth Police i Page - 2
The Crosswalk Safety Project takes to the street in June, July, and August. Officers have
teamed up with members of the Plymouth Public Safety Advisory Committee and have identified
three crosswalks where the grant will be carried out: (1) Schmidt Lake Road and 50`'' Avenue N.,
(2) the Luce Line Trail and Vicksburg Lane N., (3) Dunkirk Lane and 24`'' Avenue. A fourth
location will be determined by early July. These crosswalks were chosen based upon the volume of
traffic, both vehicle and pedestrian, and for their close proximity to schools and/or park and
recreations areas.
The Crosswalk Team will monitor compliance with the crosswalk law over a series of four,
two-hour visits to each crosswalk. During this time, the Team will display bright -colored, yellow
"Stop for the Feet" crosswalk signs and will provide safety information to drivers, pedestrians,
bicyclists and other passerbys. During the third phase of the project, officers will issue citations for
violations of the crosswalk law. A person who violates Minnesota's pedestrian law is guilty of a
misdemeanor and may be sentenced to 90 days in jail or required to pay a $700 fine, or both. A
person who violates the law two or more times within one year is guilty of a gross misdemeanor and
may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year, payment of a fine of not more than
$3,000 or both.
"Be alert and aware of pedestrians and follow the crosswalk law. Give pedestrians the right
of way," asked Sgt. Holzerland. "We appreciate your help in keeping our community safe."
Remember, "On the Street, Stop for the Feet". It's the law.

MEMORANDUM
TO: All City Managers or Administrators of Cities That Are Members of the Bassett
Creek Watershed Management Commission, Commissioner 2" Alternates
FROM: Charlie LeFevere O---9A—
DATE: June 1, 2001
RE: Proposed Bylaw Amendment
The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission will consider an amendment to its
bylaws at its next meeting.
A copy of the proposed amendment is attached. The amendment would create a technical
advisory committee. The creation of this committee is a response to a law enacted in 1999 that
prohibits appointment of city staff members as commissioners of joint powers watershed
management organizations such as the Bassett Creek Commission. Over the years, most of the
commissioners appointed to the Commission have been city staff members, presumably because
the people appointed were considered by the appointing city councils to be the most
knowledgeable, competent, and motivated candidates for the job. In short, they were the people
who were the first choice of the city councils as representatives of the city to the joint powers
board.
Because appointments made after December 31, 1999 cannot be staff members, the Commission
felt it was appropriate to fornialize an organizational structure in which it could be assured that
city staff would at least have a voice in Commission matters if so desired by the city councils,
even though they could not vote as commissioners.
Under the proposed bylaw amendment, each city would be able to appoint a technical advisory
committee (TAC) member and any number of alternate TAC members. (These members could
be the same people as the city's commissioners if the city so wished.) The Commission may
decide at a later date to delegate certain decisions (such as project reviews) to the TAC, but is not
required to do so. TAC members would be given notice of all meetings, be provided with all
CLL-198234vl
BA295-1
r
written notices and agenda materials, and have full rights to participate in discussions of all
Commission matters, but without the right to make motions or vote.
No action is required by your city in response to this notice. However, the Commission
welcomes your comments. If the bylaw is adopted, your city will be so advised so that you may
appoint members to the technical advisory committee.

SUBJECT: SITE PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A PERMANENT OUTDOOR STAGE FOR
THE PERFORMING ARTS (2001053)
Dear Property Owner or Resident:
The Plymouth Civic League in cooperation with the City of Plymouth is working on a project to develop
a permanent outdoor stage for the performing arts in Plymouth Creek Park. The stage would serve as a
permanent home for Music in Plymouth, an annual outdoor concert featuring the Minnesota Orchestra, as
well as smaller performance events. It is proposed to be located in Plymouth Creek Park north of the
Plymouth City Hall. This location is near the concrete slab where the portable stage for Music in
Plymouth has been erected for the last several years. The proposed project includes a stage and an
orchestra pit on the main level, with an unfinished basement that will eventually have dressing rooms and
storage area. Most of the funding for the project is expected to come from a private donation.
You are hereby notified of and cordially invited to a public meeting to consider the site plan for the
project at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, June 20, 2001, in the Council Chambers at the Plymouth City
Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. Previously, the City held a public meeting to consider the
Environmental Assessment Worksheet and an open house to answer questions about the project.
In addition, information relating to this project may be examined at the Community Development
Information Counter, at Plymouth City Center on Mondays and Wednesday through Friday from 8:00
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Tuesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except holidays. If you have any
questions, please contact the Community Development Department at (763) 509-5450.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
Subject: Amendments to Ordinance No. 2 (Solid Waste Ordinance)
The Department of Environmental Services (DES) is re -submitting an amendment to
Hennepin County Solid Waste Ordinance Number 2 to the County Board for approval later
this month. This proposed amendment was the subject of a Public Hearing held by the
County Board on October 10, 2000. On October 17, 2000, the Board referred the matter back
to staff for further review of wood waste/tree waste provisions potentially affecting municipal
operations.
Since January, DES staff have met twice with municipal recycling coordinators and other
interested parties to discuss the proposed changes to Ordinance Number 2. The first meeting
was held on January 11, 2001. At this meeting DES staff provided an overview of the
proposed changes and answered questions from the recycling coordinators. Following review
of the proposed ordinance and its implications for municipal operations, the recycling
coordinators expressed support for the proposed changes. However, they also expressed
concern about the potential lack of community capacity to manage wood waste and tree waste
over the next few years and requested that DES convene a regional meeting focusing on tree
and wood waste management resources available to Hennepin county and its municipalities.
On March 2, 2001, DES hosted a forum on the management of tree and wood waste in
Hennepin County. The forum attracted 25 participants representing Hennepin municipalities
and operators of tree and wood waste facilities throughout the region. It was an excellent
opportunity for staff from municipalities to meet representatives from companies offering tree
and wood waste management services and learn about their services and future plans. By the
end of the meeting it was apparent that there was more than adequate capacity to meet city
and county needs for the foreseeable future. DES staff will continue to take a lead role in
monitoring wood waste/tree waste management and expects to convene future discussions
about wood waste transfer locations that may be necessary to support deliveries to the District
Energy facility in St. Paul that is likely to become the primary wood waste facility in the
region.

7, most budgets and the tax bill had
not been finalized_ Although the
Governor and legislative leadership
did agree on May 25 to a broad
outline for tax reform and a budget
package, the details of the agree-
ments have slowed the negotia-
tions. For example the Jobs Con-
ference Committee has not agreed
on its spending target. The last
Senate proposal exceeded the
"target" by $12.0 million. Also the
Senate tax conferees contend that
the agreement does not specify the
exact level of commercial industrial
property tax reduction. The House
has offered approximately ten
percent while the Senate has a four
peramt decrease. Policy differ-
ences are evident in all of the
remaining open working groups.
In addition to the policy differ-
ences the most recent state
revenue collections report could
add to the complexity in reaching
an agreement. The Department of
Finance reported on Thursday that
state revenues for the last four
months are $91.0 million less than
projected. With two months of the
biennium left to be reported there is
a possibility that collections could
decrease further. Being aware of
the revenue collections, the Gover-
nor has requested that the legisla-
ture "prepare bills that allow for
adjustments to the targets and
leave $300.0 million unspent and
left on the bottom line." The $300.0
million request is an increase over
the $100.0 million included in the
May 25 agreement.
Tax Working Group Update
Pc for to Thursday's
;1nouncements regarding
revenue collections and a special
session, the tax working group had
generally agreed to a tax package
that will:
• Compress tax rates;
• Eliminate the state mandated
general education levy and
replace it with state funding;
• Initiate a state levied property tax
on commercial industrial prop-
erty;
impose levy limits on local gov-
ernments;
Establish a grant program to
assist TIF districts impacted by
the tax changes (compression
and levy takeover); and
Authorize a tax rebate payable in
September 2001.

...continued from previous MO
age are part of the agreement
between legislative leadership and
the Governor the specific details
still need to be determined. The
House and Senate have each
proposed a different class rate
schedule. The major difference is
in the commercial -industrial class
rate. The House provides for a
lower rate than the Senate.
The House and Senate also differ
on the details of the state -imposed
property tax on commercial indus-
trial property. The House recom-
mends a set dollar amount of levy
while the Senate prefers a tax rate
and wants to use the tax proceeds
for education funding.
Although the working group has
not discussed tax increment
financing (TIF), several variations
to the grant program are being
discussed. The computer simula-
tions run by legislative staff indicate
that the class rates contained in
the original House bill, combined
with the state take over of the
Z- za
general education levy, could
reduce TIF proceeds by one third
of the 2001 level. Being aware of
the impact of the tax reform pro-
posal on TIF, the House's original
proposal and later proposals
include a grant program_ The
Governor also has a grant pro-
gram, and during negotiations the
Senate agreed to a grant program,
but the details are still being dis-
cussed among legislative staff and
local government representatives. •
The TIF issues include the follow-
ing:
• Should there be any require-
ments to apply for the grant? The
current grant program requires a
local fund contribution while the
House proposal also contains a
local fund requirement. Options
to the local contribution include
but are not limited to the repeal of
the certified tax capacity rate, and
extending the duration of the
district.
• What types of expenditures
should be eligible for state funa-
ing? The House proposal would
have the grant amount equal the
lesser of the reduction in the
district's revenues resulting from
rate changes and the levy take-
over, or the amount needed by
the district to pay off bonds and
binding contracts entered into
before June 2, 2001. The use of
the grant for "pay -as -you go"
notes is being discussed.
Which districts should be in-
cluded in the grant program? The
House grant proposal will include
districts for which certification
was requested before June 2,
2001. Districts which are in
process — development agree-
ment, districts approved but not
certified, contracts not finalized --
have been identified as an issue
that needs to be discussed.
Language defining these so
called "pipeline districts" is being
prepared.
