They explained the plans that are being formulated for a civic center and central park area which would probably be the logical, site for v5uch a facility. They pointed out that the problem of swimming areas will be alleviated some- what by the development of the East and West Medicine Lake beaches, the pl airs for which were approved at the previous , Counci 1 meeting. They explained that the Cougnil has the responsibility of choosing priorities in spending the" citizen's money and that in our break- down of our park system ttte neighborhood parks appear to be most urgent at this time.

It would help save the ecology of the lakes, and 1t would create jobs for teenagers. It would be less dangerous than swimming in lakes where there is heavy boat traffic and the beaches are often too large for one lifeguard to watch.over. Outdoor pools can be made much bigger than indoor pools, and the swim time avail- able would be greater. They cited examples of other communities in the area which have municipal pools and pointed out that fees, charges for swimming lessons and concessions would help in the costs involved. They felt that with our present population the costs per resident would be very low. Mayor Hilde explained the procedures the Council would be involved with when they consider such a request. He pointed out that Plymouth has one of the cleanest lakes 1n the area in Medicine Lake and that when the improvement plans were appro-tied for the two beach areas, boat launching areas were eliminates`., Some of the communities men- tioned do not have a nlean lake Itie ours, and some of these com- munities developRd- earlier than :urs.

Only one bid was received, that of Plymouth Village Automotive, Inc., the firm wino has had the contract in the past. The Manager indicated staff has been satisfied with the firm's performance in the past and recommended awerding of the contract to them.

Ron Hendricks of Plymouth Village Automotive stated they have at least one call a week on the average. The patrol cars are unable to carry spare tires because of the other equipment they must carry, and these are kept at Plymouth Automotive. He indicated there is no charge for this service. Motion to adopt RESOLUTION N0. 73471 carried on a Roll Call vote, four ayes, with Councilman Neils voting nay. The petitioner requested t"arrangement of platted lots to create three lots - Parcel 1 (lots 12, 13 and 14); Parcel 2 Lots 15 and 16); and Parcel 3 (Lots 1 thru 11) - all in Morrison's Lakeview Addition. There exist dwelling units on each of the three parcels, and the petitioners requested approval of the rearrangement so that they can homestead on Parcels 1 and 3. A similar request was made in July of 1971, and at that titae action was deferred until such time as the petitioner presented a complete replat of the entire area. The petiticner, however, did not at this time want to replat the entire area. The staff recommended approval of the consolidation along with a second resolution which would r_qulre a complete replat prior to any new dwellings being constructed on any part of Morrison's Lakeview Addition. The attorney explained that both of the resolutions would be filed with the County and would record a restriction on the plat. Councilman Hunt pointed out that 62nd Avenue North as shown on the plat will probably never be constructed and questioned if it could be vacated. The staff was asked to look into this to see if it is necessary for utility purposes. Counnilman Neils pointed out that Parcel 3 would combine a number of lots into a very large parcel and wojld effect a substantial tax benefit to the owner, Mrs. Krekelberg pointEd out that the lots are currently combined into two parcels rather than 16 indi- vidual lots and that they are requesting these two parcels be re- arranged to create three lots.

The BOARD JOINT POWERS Manager recommended joining with the group representing the AGREEMENT western county area as opposed to the other,group comprised of Item 7-A communities east and north of Plymouth. A Joint Powers Agreement was presented which would provide for the establishment of a com- mittee to work,with the county group to have a voice in the de- velopment of health care services to be provided in the future. The Human Rights Commission would be charged with the responsibility of following up on this. MOTION was made by Councilman Spaeth, seconded by Councilman Hunt, to reject the plan. Councilman Spaeth stated he felt this proposal would only cii:ate another layer of organization and couldn't, see the benefit wt would derive from it. He stated he felt this wa- a way for the County to get rid of their problems and push it out into the suburbs. Coun- cilman Seibold stated he was concerned about some of the wording of the Joint Powers Agreement and that a very powerful board would be created which would not necessarily be representative of _.tS com- muni t1 es i nvol ued. Mayor H11de pointed out the large sums of money the suburbs a^e re- quired to contribute to health care and welfare as compared to the services we receive and stated he felt this is one of the wayn we can monitor this sitadtion and determine and point out our needs. The Manager pointed our thbt Plymouth will be assigned to one of the two suburban groups anyway if we do not make the decision ourselves and that if local government does not take the initiative to create some mechanism for planning fir our needs it will be done by the County or other interested parties, Councilman Spaeth stated he felt we have the opportunity to do this at present ti,rough our County Commissioners rather than going to the expense of creatlrg am Cher level of organization. Councilman Hunt stated he was opposed to the open-endedness of the funding specifically 1n view of the fact that the board would be made up of peopile not directly responsible to the local governments. He pointed out also that the Joir.t Powers Agreement does not call for a certain irijority of the pdrticipat'ng communities to approve of actions., C 0 Regular Council_,Meeting N6 7, 1973 Page Six Councilman Neils stated he did not agree with the assumption that we should be associated with the southwest group as opposed to the north- west group. He further stated he did not feel this board could de- termine the Village's meds any more adequately than we could determine ourselves and present to the County Board. He also pointed out that joining with tLese other communities would diminish our leverage with the County Board. MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Mayor Hilde, to amend the motion to reject the plan by deferring action until such time as the staff has in line with the Council discussion researched the mem- bership make-up and employed that into the agreement, explained more fuiiy the funding, and made provision so that the membership communi- ties would be more involved with approval of the programs in a manner similar to that now used by the Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission, Notion to amend the motion carried, four ayes, with Councilman Spaeth voting nay, Motion as amended carried, four ayes, with Councilman Spaeth voting nay, MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Councilman Hunt, directing the staff to invite a County research person to make a presentation on this proposition to the Council at the earliest possi- ble time to explain their intention. Motion carried, five ayes. MOTION was made by Councilman Spaeth, seconded by Councilman Neils, directing the Manager to attempt to join with tha northwest group rather than the southwest group. Mayor Hilde pointed out that Plymouth seems to be somewhat in the middle of these two groups. He pointed out several areas where he felt it would be beneficial for Plymouth to associate themselves with the louthwest group. Councilman Neils stated he would like to find out what tho think- ing is in the other group before making a final decision, MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Councilman Neils, to amend the previous motion directing the Manager to research the north- west; group which we are now associated with through the Suburban Public Health Nursing Frbgram before the Council acts in either direction.

These assessments would be assessed against the parcel for a period of five years and allocated.to each of the lots as platted when new plat and parcel numbers are provided by the County. MOTION was made by Councilman Spaeth, seconded by Councilman Hunt, to adopt a resolution confirming -and adopting the assessment roll for water and sanitary sewer area assessments on Amber Woods in the total amount of $G4,250. The question was raised why there was no Ribvision for a lot take down, Councilman Neils stated it was his understanding tha.. where such costs have been a part of a development contract the Village requires those type assessments to be paid pr'or to the issuance of a building pernit. It was suggested that the Developmont Con- tract be amended in Section 8.3 to include that the area cherc,es be paid at the time building permits are taken out along with the EC charges. MUiION was made by Couiocilman Spaeth, kleconded by Councilman Hunt. to defer action on th(: previous motion and refer the matter to the Manager to work with the deieloper to see if he is agreeable to paying off these area type assessments along with the PEC charges at she time building permits are taken out.

The Manfier proposed con- tracting with a garbage hauling firm to make curb -side pickups on Saturdays and presented to the Council quotations received from tw' firms licensed in the Village. Both firms stipulated, however, that certain'ltems would not be collectable, such as dirt, roci,,s, major appliances, etc. It was concluded that such a program would not solve tha problem because of these limitations. It was also, pointed out that the items the haulers would collect could be pinked up under a resident's re? nuclalvdlng r arbage`service. After lengths discussion on the subject the fact that it would not be feasible for the Villege itself to undertake such a venture, it w%%s concluded that contracting with a landfill and arranging for Village residents to haul their junk to these sites would probably be the best solution. MOTION was made,by Mayor Hilda, seconded by Councilman Hunt, directing the staff to prepare a plan with appropriate announce- mk.ts of a Village -wide clean-up program that would entail the citizens and neighborhoods cleaning up their areas and trans- porting the refu;ie on a weedend or two to a licensed landfill.
