REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Mayor Hi lde introduced Mr. Alfred E. Mall. who is representing
the private bus carriers and who is Mayor of Burnsville. Mr,
Hall had asked to speak to the Council relative to considera-
tion by the Council of a request for service from, the Metro-
politan Transit Commission.
Mr, Hall explained how the MTC was following a procedure which
was competitive with the private; carrier and often resulted in
putting the carrier out of business. This was in direct con-
flict with the MTC policy of (1) providing assistance to the
private carriers; (2) promoting ridership on the private carriers;
and (3) assuring viability of private carriers.
He explained how Burnsville had handled their sitution, wherein
their citizens pay nearly a half million dollars in taxes and
receive limited service. The City Council passed a resolution
putting out for bids identical bus service as the Ci '`y is
presentl j receiving from the MTC, Awarding of contract would
be contingent upon determination of u.is o o;. ; ;+itional i ty of the
State Statute establishing the MTC ta,(im, listricts.
Mr. Hall stated that .im Johnson, owner of Medicine Lake Bus
Lines, which presently sert)Q% Plsgmouth, had attempted to work
out a i arrangement with the MTC wherein ther« would be coopera-
tion between the two. the Transit. Opere ti ng Division of the
MTC refused.
Mr. Hall pointed out that in asking for MTC service, the City
would be "feeding the octopus" and could probably expect higher
costs. He urged that the Plymouth City Council take one of two
actions now: (1) adopt a resolution urging the MTC to consider
their policy of assistance to suburban lines, or (2) put out
for ' i ds , as Burnsville did, on the contingency that the statute
giving the MTC taxing authority would be found unconstitutional.
Councilman Neils questioned how it could be explained to tht
citizens of Plymouth, who would be r4ayinq an increased fare plus
the amount of tax dollars to the MTC. Mr. Hall replied that it
would essentially be an education process. A case could be made
showing that this procedure would be cheaper for the citikzens in
the long run. ,

Mayor Hilde pointed out that if the first suggested action were taken,
there would be a certain amount of time required in which to get
a reaction frtxr. the MTC, after which, if the MTC is not iccomodati ng,
the Counc.l would have to consider the same question anew. He
asked how other suburban communities might be stimulated to get
involved and push to a favorable resolution of the problem.
Mr. Hall sa)fd that the MTC jurisdiction was being challenged in
the, courts, and that the jurisdiction nvotr private carriers might
be returned to the Public Service Commi ss ion, Other lawsuits are
being,contemplated: a suit by private carriers for damages from
the MTC on the basis of loss of business; a court challenge to
the constitutionality of levying taxes where service is not pro-
vided. Mr. Hall is planning to visit other communities in hopes
of establishing, a unified stand of : upport. both for the lawsuits
and generally in support of the private carriers.
Counc*l lman Hunt said that if the first approach is used, the result
would only be tokenism. The whole process could involve a great
deal of time.
Loren Schiebe, of the Northwest MEtropolitan Chamber of Cortn,ei c:,
stated that the Chamber had taken a position in favor of certain
legislative proposals which would exempt the private carriers
from certain taxes and would put the private carriers on a more
competitive basis with .he MTC.
0
Councilman Seibold stated that Plymouth had waited to long for
service, that it could wait a bit longer with any hope for comparable
service at a comparable price.
MOTION was made by Councilman Seibold, seconded by Councilman Hunt,
to direct the staff to draft a resolution with the idea in mind
of advising the MTC that Plymouth is currently paying $181',445
and will be prying $331,1300 in 1975, and receiving no service
therefrom. "he City requests that the PITC put in practice its
policy os assistance to private carriers and utilize an amount
of the tax dollars to enable the private carriers to provide
comparable service at a comparable rate with a reasonable profit,
Councilman Spaeth spoke against the motion. He said that he did
not believe this action would be successful. He said that while he
personally supports the court actions and Chamber action, he
could not justify the higher fee expenditure to the citizens.
Councilmen Hunt and Seibold pointed out that the motion asks for
the same fare at no more tax dollars.
Councilman Neils pointed out that the people in his a\, -a could
suffer a loss of service if the MTC were to replace the Medicine
Lake Bus Lines,
Motion carried, four ayes,, Councilman Spaeth voted nay.
