LIBRARY ARGUMENTS --We have received the written arguments from Attorney Bob Lindahl regarding the library site condemnation. Due to the length of the document, I have not included it. If Councilmembers would like to review a copy, please let me know. 2. JOB EVALUATION PROCESS UPDATE -- Bill Joynes, the City Manager of Golden Valley, convened a meeting for union representatives and city officials to update all parties on the progress of the joint job evaluation study. A representative from Hay Associates made a presentation regarding their methodology and the progress of their study. She reported that the job questionnaires have been received from participating city employees and that interviews will be conducted on August 11 and 12 to provide further information on the benchmark positions. Upon completion of the interviews, Hay Associates will prepare the benchmark job descriptions which will consist of a core description and a larger and smaller variant. Each of the 40 benchmarks will then be evaluated by Hay and will be processed through their quality control system. The point value assigned will reflect the core description. A number of points will be assigned to both the larger and the smaller variant descriptions. This will enable cities to use the job description and its associated point value if they choose. When all 40 positions have been evaluated and run through the quality control system, the results will be provided to the MAMA Evaluation Committee, and distributed to the participating cities. It is estimated that Hay will complete its work by the end of 1992. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM AUGUST 7, 1992 PAGE 4 The PDI representative indicated that they are in the process of revamping the task - based system which they use for evaluation. The 80 jobs which will be benchmarks have been identified. PDI is in the process of completing its task lists and when they are finished, they will distribute job questionnaires to selected employees from selected cities. After the incumbents have had the opportunity to complete the questionnaires, PDI will evaluate them using its computerized system. PDI will also provide its job descriptions and evaluation points to the MAMA group. They also estimated completion of their tasks by year end 1992. 3. MEDIATION PETITION -- The ' Bureau of Mediation Services has scheduled a mediation hearing with the City and Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc., Plymouth Police Officers, for Wednesday, August 19 at the Plymouth City Center. The mediation session will address 1992-94 wages and conditions of employment for police officers and investigators. A copy of the meeting notice is attached. (I-3) 4. TEAM BUILDING PROPOSALS COMPARISON - In accordance with City Council direction, I have incorporated an estimate of daily expenses in the Team Building Proposal Comparison sheet I supplied at the August 3 study session. The expenses are based upon Carl Neu's estimates and may vary slightly for Lyle Sumek, since the former is located in Colorado and the latter in Florida. (I-4) 5. ELECTION UPDATE -- On July 29 and 30, the Secretary of State's office mailed post card notifications to every registered voter in the City of Plymouth. The current number of registered voters in the City as of July 29 is 35, 377. The notifications included the voter's congressional district, state senate and legislative district, county commission district, city precinct. and polling location. Following the post card - notification, staff has received several phone calls regarding the location of the polling place for Precinct 16, Bass Lake Playfield Shelter Building, 5450 Northwest Boulevard. The shelter building and parking lot is completed; however, the paved portion of Northwest Boulevard currently ends several blocks short of the entrance to the playfield parking lot. This segment of Northwest Blvd. will be completed by September 1, and voters will have easy access to the playfield parking lot by the September 15 Primary Election. The alternate trail access to the Bass Lake Playfield shelter building off of Pineview Lane would not be acceptable as the entrance to the polling location. Attached is a letter from Laurie responding to one resident on this topic. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM AUGUST 7, 1992 PAGE 5 s�. On August 3, letters and voting district maps were mailed to homeowner associations. The voting district maps were previously included in the June issue of the Plymouth News. The August issue reminds residents that maps are available by visiting or phoning the City Center, in the event they have misplaced their map. The September issue of the Plymouth News will contain a smaller voting district map. This issue will discuss hours for voting and procedures for absentee balloting and registering to vote at the polls. (I-5) 6..

CLAIM BY GREG LINDBERG -- Greg Lindberg has submitted a claim against the City for destruction of his bicycle. Attached is a letter to Councilmember Vasiliou on this subject. We initially offered Mr. Lindberg $40 for the bike on the basis of its depreciation and the belief that Lindberg was at least partly responsible, given the fact that he parked his bike in front of the city vehicle. After further consideration of this request, Bob Pemberton has offered Mr. Lindberg $80 as a settlement for this loss. A check will be sent to Mr. Lindberg. (I-9) 10. EMPLOYEE MEETINGS - FIRE OFFICERS -- On Wednesday, August 5, Public Safety Director Gerdes arranged to have me meet with the Fire Department Officer Corp. After reintroducing ourselves to one another, we discussed the process for filling the City Manager position. I advised them that the Council will receive proposals at the August 17 meeting and that if all goes well, the Council will determine its plan for filling the position at that meeting. I advised them that the Council wants to proceed promptly with this process and that four to six months is likely to be required. With respect to the 1993 budgets, I advised them that we are currently out of balance by $2 million even with a projected 8 percent levy increase. We discussed the fact that every budget request is important, but that given the circumstances, each department will have to bear some portion of the budget reduction. I told them that the fire department is very important to the City and asked them not to CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL AM40RANDUM AUGUST 7, 1992 PAGE 6 interpret reductions from budget requests negatively. I encouraged them to stay involved in the process whether by attending budget study meetings, public hearings, or discussing budget issues further with their supervisors. Craig and I both indicated that the hiring of a Fire Chief is first priority, that 60 applications have been received, and that the cut-off date for recruitment is August 17. Craig had earlier asked for officer input in the process for filling the position and indicated that the tentative date for filling the position is November 15. A few of the officers thanked me for attending their meeting and invited me to ride along with them as I intend to do with the police officers. Craig suggested that I attend a training session as well. I intend to do both. 11. COMMUNITY HANDBOOK UPDATE -- Last year the City worked with a private firm, MAPCO, to produce the Plymouth Community Guide. The City provided city -related information and MAPCO handled printing, selling advertisements, and obtaining other community information. The guides were produced at no cost to the City. Ten thousand guides were distributed through area businesses and MAPCO provided the City with 2,000 guides to distribute to new residents. The guides have proven to be a cost effective alternative to the city - produced community handbook of previous years. MAPCO recently contacted the City to begin planning for the 1992/93 guide. As the Council will recall, the 1992 communications budget contains funds to purchase a sufficient number of the 1992/1993 guides (at 25 cents each) from MAPCO to mail one to each residence and business in Plymouth. As contemplated in the 1992 budget, we plan to produce the guide in cooperation with MAPCO and mail it to all households and businesses late this fall. 12. MINUTES: a.

August 7, 1992 Resident CITY OF 5325 Yorktown Lane Plymouth, MN 55442 PLYMOUTR Dear Resident: We spoke by telephone earlier this week regarding the location of the polling location for Precinct 16, Bass Lake Playfield Shelter building. I do appreciate your call and have received a couple of similar calls where individuals could not find the polling location. Following your call, I visited the site. The problem is that the paved portion of Northwest Blvd. currently ends about two blocks short of the entrance to the parking lot of the Bass Lake Playfield. I have enclosed a voting district map that roughly shows the location of the playfield. If you are driving southerly on Northwest Blvd., you come to a point with barricades and signs that the road ends. If you look ahead at that point, Northwest Blvd. is gravel, and you will see the lights of the playfield ahead and to your left. That is the a"ntrance to the parking lot. There is an alternative access to the shelter building. If you turn into the park property at the tennis courts (on Pineview Lane at 54th Avenue), park in the parking lot, and follow the trail, it goes to the shelter building. I walked it the other day in order to check the status of the shelter building. It would not serve well as an access to the polling location; however, due to distance and the lack of easy handicapped accessibility. The good news is that this segment of Northwest Blvd. is scheduled for completion on September 1. Voters will have easy access to their polling location from Northwest Blvd. on election day. I believe this location will serve well as a polling place. As we " discussed, there are not alternative public buildings in the precinct, and this location offers some things other polling locations do not, such as abundant parking and good handicapped accessibility. Since it is a City building, the City saves money from not having to pay a facility use fee such as we do for the use of churches and schools. Again, thank you for bringing this problem to my attention. We plan additional publicity regarding the location of this polling place to affected residents.

I still serve on the Commission and I want to thank you for the leadership you've shown in the area of chemical health and in broader issues of city government. I am writing because I am running into a stone wall with the City of Plymouth and, as one of your constituents, I need some help. On July 7, 1992, my wife and son rode our bikes to Parker's Lake to listen to my daughter perform with the Wayzata High School Orchestra in an outdoor concert. We parked our bikes in the grass near the area where they were setting up to play and settled down to enjoy the concert. As we were getting up to leave, a 3/4 ton Plymouth Park & Rec. maintenance truck, which had been parked nearby, started up and drove over my bike, badly bending the frame and front wheel. The truck was parked 15-20 feet away from my bike on the lawn by the concert site. I don't remember seeing the truck there when I parked my bike. The City claims the truck was there first because it was there from the start of the concert. (I got there before the start of the concert, too.) I called a bike repair shop and they indicated that I would have to replace the frame and the front wheel. They estimated the cost to be 5160.00. I called the City to see about reimburse- ment for damages and was referred to Plymouth's risk management person, Bob Pemberton. After checking with the Department of Parks and Recreation, Mr. Pemberton informed me that, since I'd parked in front of the truck, the liability was mine. When I didn't agree, he ac- knowledged that there might at least be some shared liability. (The driver acknowledged liability at the time of the accident and said the City would probably cover the -damages.) Mr. Pemberton has made me an offer of 540.00 based on the cost of a comparable new model (he says S 159.65). He depreciated that amount by 50 percent based on the age of my bike and. then reduced it by half again because Plymouth is only willing to accept half of the responsi- bility for the accident. I find this totally unacceptable. It does not bring me anywhere close to the cost of repairing the damage and I strongly dispute his assertion that the City is not 100 percent at fault! Mr. Pemberton said I should have put my bike in the bike rack located several hundred feet from the concert area. What I would like to know is, why was the truck parked in the middle of a crowded area of concert -goers (a crowd which included many toddlers and other young children)? The truck could just. as. easily have run over a young child as it did my bike. The parking lot for cars was only about 50 feet away. Why does the Park and Recreation Depart- ment allow big trucks with limited visibility, driven by high school students; to park and drive on a crowded park lawn in the middle of an event? If they parked early, as they said, there was �1M AIS .? 92 1-5 plenty of room in the parking lot. They -wereri t hauling equipment for the concert so there was no need for them to be where they were. I raise these concerns partly because of* own frustration at having to replace, at my own expense, a bike to.which I have added many top-of-the-line components and which I use regu- larly to commute to work, and partly because this is an important public safety issue for the City of Plymouth. Park users should not have to worry about truck traffic in the middle of our City parks. A bike can be replaced, but the next accident might involve a human life. I hope you will look into this matter to help me get fair compensation and also to examine policy changes that might prevent similar (or worse) incidents from occurring in future.

Hahn, Finance Director FROM: Bob Pemberton, Risk Management Coordinator SUBJECT: GREG LINDBERG 17710 2ND AVENUE SOUTH PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 On July 7, 1992, at about 8:30 P.M. a seasonal park maintenance employee started up and drove over the claimant's bike with a 3/4 ton pickup. The driver had delivered supplies to a concert at Parker's Lake Park and left the vehicle parked on the grass. Upon conclusion of the concert they reloaded the truck with concert supplies including 30 chairs and sound equipment. The driver checked in front of the truck but didn't notice an older green colored and rusted 26" Raleigh bike laying on the grass. He started up, rolled forward 6-10 feet and damaged the bike. Raleigh doesn't manufacture a 10 speed 26" bike but a comparable bike according to Now Sports of Hopkins would be a Giant retailing, tax included, at $159.75. The used bike would be worth approximately $80.00. I spoke with Mr. Lindberg, discussed the accident and informed him that because of the circumstances we would accept 50 percent of the liability and offer him 50 percent of the depreciated value of the bike or $40.00. We discussed liability and he doesn't believe that we are reasonable to expect him to use the available bike rack and not to lay his bike down in front of a truck. I spoke with him again on August 5, 1992, and raised the offer to $80.00. This wasn't acceptable to Mr. Lindberg because he in effect wants the cost of parts which is approximately $160.00 or the same of an equipment bike - new. I will send him a check in the amount of $80.00 in an attempt to resolve the matter.

MN 55343 Phone 612.544-8572 June 10, 1992 I. The regular monthly meeting of the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission was called to order at 3:15 p.m., Wednesday, June 10, 1992, at Plymouth City Hall, Plymouth, MN, by Chairman Fred Moore. Those present were: Todd Tuominen, Champlin; Steve Peaslee, Hassan; Ken Ashfeld, Maple Grove; Larry Elwell, Medina; Fred Moore, Plymouth; Leon Zeug and Carolyn Dindorf, HCD; Will Hartfeldt, attorney; John Barten, Hennepin Parks; and Judie Anderson, Executive Secretary., II. Peaslee moved and Ashfeld seconded a motion to approve the minutes of the May 13, 1992 meeting. Motion carried. M. Elwell moved and Peaslee seconded a motion to approve the Treasur- er's Report and pay the bills. Motion carried. IV. Reports from the District Office. A. Water Ouality Monitoring. 1. Three lakes were sampled May 12. Cook Lake could not be sampled due to lack of access. Transparency was 5.21, 3.9' and 3.0' at Weaver, Fish, and Diamond lakes, respectively. Weaver was fairly well oxygenated throughout the water column and ranged from 11.6 mg/L at the surface to 5.2 mg/L near the bottom of Fish Lake. Phosphorus was highest (113 ug/L) in Diamond Lake. Chlorophyll a concentrations were 39, 32.9 and 33 ug/L on the three lakes. 2. Fecal coliform sampling occurred in April and May on Elm Creek. April sampling showed counts of 125/100ml or less. In May, sites 5 and 8 had elevated counts of 585 and 950/ml, respectively. This was an unusually high count for site 8. HCD staf f met with USGS June 9 to observe stream moni- toring. The monitoring station is affected by several beaver dams in the creek. Spring snowmelt samples were collected. One other rain event was monitored in addition to the routine monitoring. The Commissioners received copies of a letter from the City of Maple Grove requesting the Commission to investigate a non -point pollution source that enters that City. A sample taken near CSAH30 and CIV AUG 7'92 Minutes June 10, 1992 page 2 CSAH101 was found to have a fecal coliform count of over 50,000. HCD will investigate and contact the appropriate city. 3. Dindorf reported that a study site has been found in Maple Grove for the proposed alum treatment project. The site is located within a city park and set up and monitoring will begin once approval has been obtained f rom the City. 4. Homeowners on Diamond Lake, Dayton, have expressed concern over the high lake level and potential effects on their septic drainfields. in his letter dated May 27, Tom Hovey of the DNR stated that although water levels have been high, the lake still has not exceeded the estimated ordinary high water mark. He also stated that the outlet channel and culvert are functioning properly. B. Hartfeldt reviewed his June 9 letter to the Commissioners re the status under the Joint Powers Agreement of a NURP pond project. After some discussion, the matter was continued in order to consider .,research options. C. Moore, Zeug, and Hartfeldt have not yet met with Ron Harnack at BWSR re amendments to the Management Plan. They will attempt to meet be- fore the July meeting of the Commission. D. Zeug met with Gail Lippert from the City of Greenfield re its resolution to withdraw from the Commission. She stated that the resolution reflected their perception that it would be easier for HCD to manage all of Greenfield as part of the Pioneer -Sarah Creek organization.

The Council approved an amended Planned Unit Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit to allow an experimental natural gas fueling appliance at a single family site at 11525 51st Avenue North. 2. The Council approved a Lot Division, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan and Variance to allow a NSP Substation north of Medina Road on the east side of County Road 101. The 3.1 acre parcel on which the substation is to be located will be divided from the existing 10 acre tract and will be configured with a "panhandle" extension to County Road 101 --, much in the same manner as the City water tower site is to the north. The Council's action also permits a 90 foot lightning rod, in excess of the 35 foot height limitation otherwise permitted in the FRD Zoning District. 3. A resolution was adopted concurring with the change in jurisdiction on New/Old County Road 9 between West Medicine Lake Drive and Revere Lane. The City will assume jurisdiction of Old Rockford Road from West Medicine Lake Drive easterly to Revere Lane. Hennepin County will assume jurisdiction of Rockford Road (new alignment) between West Medicine Lake Drive and Revere Lane. 4. The Park Rental Policy rental fees were waived for the Fire Department to conduct a softball tournament at Zachary Playfield on August 29. 5. The Council joined with the City of Maple Grove in adopting lake use regulations for Pike Lake. The provisions include a 15 mph maximum except in no -wake zones and prohibited operation of motor boats within 100 feet of the shoreline. 6. Blue Wave Ventures, Inc., d/b/a Green Mill Plymouth, 2705 Annapolis Lane, was issued an on -sale intoxicating and Sunday liquor license. This location was previously licensed to Plymouth Place. 7. The Council denied the request of Ryan Construction Company for a second pylon sign at the northeast corner of 6th Avenue and Revere Lane, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The request would have resulted in a 54 sq. ft. freestanding sign located within 4 feet of the property line along Revere Lane. COA 0 -7,92. T-13 8. The design for Harbor Woods was amended to eliminate the street right-of-way extended to the north property line of the plat. The City previously requested and received the approval of the Metropolitan Council for the Transportation Plan Amendment of the Comprehensive Plan to eliminate the collector status for Fernbrook Lane between Gleason Lake Drive and County Road 6. This action precludes any future consideration of the extension of Fernbrook Lane across the Luce Line Trail, as requested by the neighborhood. 9. The contract for construction of Northwest Blvd. from 45th Avenue to Schmidt Lake Road, and Schmidt Lake Road from Northwest Blvd. to Pineview Lane was awarded to Shafer Contracting Co., Inc., in the amount of $1,684,531.50. This is .3 percent over the Engineer's Estimate for the project. 10. The City Council will allow VFW Post 5906 to connect to the City of Medina sanitary sewer system. In exchange, the City of Medina has requested City of Plymouth services to 19 properties in the Holy Name Lake area. The Plymouth Council approved the plan with the following conditions: 1) Any properties within Medina that connect to the Plymouth sewer system will pay the Plymouth connection charge at the time of connection, 2) There will be no cost to the City of Plymouth for any extension of utilities to serve these properties within Medina, and 3) Only the 19 specific single family properties will be allowed service to the Plymouth sanitary sewer system. "Notes of the Meeting" is distributed to city employees after each Council meeting. It contains items of general interest to employees and not every action taken by the Council is reported. Staff members should not rely on these notes for accuracy - only the official Council minutes should be used for providing information to petitioners or the public. Questions? Comments?

I had just taken it out of storage, and had forgotten that the gas gauge did not register properly. As we were proceeding down Rockford road my car quit running, and I coasted to a stop. After repeated attempts to restart my vehicle I finally realized that we had run out of gas and I shoved the car half off the road, set the emergency brakes, engaged the emergency flashers, and left my wife in the car, as I started to walk to a station to purchase gas. I later discovered that your patrolmen saw my wife in the vehicle, during my absence and asked her to leave the vehicle and stand on the sidewalk, as there was the possibility that the car could be rear-ended by another car. They then enquired as to the situation, and my wife explained.. She then stated that I had left on foot to get gas. I was just fuiishing purchasing gas, when I noticed your Officers interrogating a black teenage boy and a Caucasian girl about some disturbance which had been reported. The exact details are unknown to me, as I really was not paying attention. In as much as they were finishing with the teenagers I asked them if it would be possible for them to give me a ride back to my vehicle. Much to my surprise they stated that they had seen my wife and were checking to see if my situation was under control. It is of utmost importance, to state at this time, that I am fifty four years old, with a heart condition, and that the act of shoving my vehicle, plus the stress of the situation had placed me in a position which could have led to a grave conclusion. After the officers brought me back to my car, they placed their squad between me and oncoming traffic, both to protect me and also to give me light. Much to my dismay, my car would still not start. Your officers then helped me shove my vehicle around the corner, arranged with a resident for me to use their telephone to call triple A, and called a reserve officer to bring my wife to our home. Quite frankly, my opinion of cops, before this incident was very negative. The only thing I said in your favor was that you have a shit job, dealing with scum every day and that that probably explained why your officers were the way they are. Now I have a problem using the term cop, and I felt compelled to let you know that your patrolmen changed my opinion in one evening of kindness. With Respect 01412 I Y, INGE LAFLIN MAPLE GR 11 MN LN.

Plymouth, MN 55442 G As Bass Lake Athletic Fields /Park comeA ever closer to completion I want to thank you, the city council and the park committee for the fine addition this facility has made to the northern Plymouth area. All of you should be proud of your efforts in this endeavor. It has been fun to watch how the park has already helped our area function more as a neighborhood. Kids are getting together for pick-up basketball games, adults are meeting for tennis and families appear to just be enjoying walking through the park That is what a park is all about. I As happy as I am with the facility, I am probably even more pleased with the development process you people chose to employ. As I think back to the public meetings which were held and the various plan proposals which were made, I want to thank all of you who were a part of the process for making the final product something that worked for the entire neighborhood. I S ecial recognition should o to E ' Blank I feel at many times he went to extraordinary en s to so cit input from diverse groups as to the desired development I am sure that at times this had to be an exasperating process, but never did I see him show anything other than a desire to complete the most useful and neighborhood -friendly project possible. I was alto i��Pc�=rith the �r,rk of the ��ntractors The site was always free of what I would have expected to be the normal construction mess. One time I noticed that a couple of ready -mix trucks got caught in the park during a flash rainstorm. As each truck left the site a front end loader cleaned up the resulting mud from Pineview and then a worker with a shovel cleaned up what the loader could not get More diligence than I expected. Again, thanks to all of you for a project that will be enjoyed for years to come. Sincerely. Richard H. Bangston ; _; AUG 6 z sC3, NOWt:= ,-- PCITY August 3, 1992 F SUBJECT: VOTING DISTRICT CHANGESMOUTR Dear President: Two elections are on the horizon -- the Sept. 15 primary election and the Nov. 3 general election. I need your help in letting Plymouth residents know about voting district changes that will be in effect beginning with the Sept. 15 election. As you may already know, voting districts in Plymouth have changed due to population shifts. The City's population increased by nearly 20,000 people between 1980 and 1990. Consequently, Plymouth, along with communities nationwide, underwent redistricting following the 1990 census. A map showing the new voting districts and polling locations was included in the June issue of the Plymouth News. We would appreciate any additional publicity you could give these changes as you communicate with your homeowner association members. For your information, I have included a map showing the new districts and polling places. We have plenty of maps available for any of your members who may need replacement copies. Finally, please make your members aware that the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners recently changed its policy regarding absentee voting for 1992. Under the new policy, anyone may vote in an election by absentee ballot -- there are no longer any requirements that limit absentee balloting to those who are ill, disabled or out of town. Please make your members aware of this. It may make voting more convenient for some people who may not ordinarily take the time to go to the polls. If you or your members have questions on absentee voting, voter registration or need replacement voting district maps, please call City Clerk Laurie Rauenhorst at 550-5014. Thanks for your help.

Inc. 3737 Bryant Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55409 SUBJECT: PLYMOUTH HRA - SENIOR HOUSING CONSULTANT SELECTION Dear Ms. Lindbo: 1.S b At special meeting July 29, 1992 the HRA Board interviewed two firms (Dominium and Dunbar) in addition to the firms that had been interviewed at its meeting July 22 (Stuart, Walker, and Westwood). While the HRA Board has not as yet made formal selection of a consultant, they have narrowed their selection field significantly, and Walker is still a primary candidate. A primary concern voiced by Board members relates to the statement on Page 57 of your initial submission that "...Walker Management, Inc. proposes to hire a project leader/point person to coordinate and facilitate required project tasks from development initiation through construction completion." i As;I have noted to you in previous communications, and as you may have gathered from the questioning by Board members, a primary consideration in consultant selection will be the relationship of the "project leader/point per with the Executive Director and the Board. The statement in your proposal apparently means that none of the parties that were involved in your presentation/interview with the Board will function as the day-to-day contact person for the Plymouth HRA Executive Director. The Board requests that you affirmatively nominate who that person would be so that we might have an opportunity to meet him or her at the August 25, 1992 HRA Board meeting. A final recommendation from the HRA Board regarding senior housing consultant in Plymouth will be based partly on that meeting. At your very earliest convenience please specify who your project leader will be if Walker is selected. I would sincerely appreciate you arranging for that individual to meet the Board at its meeting August 25, 1992. Presuming that that meeting goes well I would anticipate the Board to formulate its recommendation regarding a senior housing consultant for final City Council action. Should you have any questions these matters please feel free to contact me at 550-5059.

Unfortunately, due to the severe weather conditions and early onset of winter in late October of 1991, the final lift of asphalt was not placed in your development. Since that time, many areas that you repaired last fall have deteriorated and additional areas of failure have appeared in the bituminous base. I am asking your cooperation in completing all of the necessary work remaining in this development as soon as possible. r First,' I am asking you to authorize your engineer to evaluate the bituminous base and subgrade in all failed areas to determine the extent of the problem and *recommend proposed solutions. Due to the extent of the failures, I believe it will be necessary for your engineer or a soils engineer to take some core samples in the failed areas to determine -the cause and extent of the problem. Based on the results of those samples; a solution can be recommended by your engineer and agreed upon by you as the developer and the City of Plymouth. The residents of 3rd Avenue have been more than patient with you and the City in this matter and it is time to complete the project as expeditiously as possible. Please authorize your engineer to do the necessary investigative work and ask that he submit a report summarizing the problems and recommending solutions to those problems no later than July 10, 1992. As soon as possible after we have reviewed the report and agreed to the recommended solution of the problems, it will then be necessary for you to take appropriate steps to implement the solutions at the earliest possible date. Once the subgrade problems have been corrected and the base failures repaired, it will then be necessary *for you to place the final wearing course on 3rd Avenue in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.

I felt the meeting was very productive. I agree with your observation that the City should look at its ordinance relating to garbage and refuse in light of recycling efforts. I will ask Margie Vigoren to do just that. We also agreed that all we can do is work cooperatively in the future to minimize animal control complaints. If you note problems involving animal control in your neighborhood, you have the same right that your neighbors do. The best way to prevent complaints against your dogs is to keep them restrained and quite. Our intent is to enforce our ordinances uniformly to protect the rights of all parties. I am also asking Margie to arrange a meeting with you and your neighbors to discuss composting. By doing so, you might be able to initiate composting in your backyard to save trips to the City's composting site. We can also try to assure that none of the composting on residential properties poses problems for neighbors. Margie is out of town the week of July. 27, but should be contacting you the first or second week in August.

Olson, Assistant County Attorney POTENTIAL CHARGE: Theft SUSPECT(S): VALERIE JEAN SANTWIRE CHILD VICTIM YES NO % REASON FOR DENIAL: After review of this matter, I have decided to decline prosecution. The evidence basically is that after the suspect had moved out of the trailer house which had been rented to her by the victim, the victim found that there were several pieces of property also missing from the trailer house. The suspect, on the other hand, claims either that the property was hers in the first place or that she left it behind in the trailer and did not remove it. j There is no direct evidence that the suspect took the victim's property. It was simply missing from the trailer after she moved out. I understand that the trailer was not very secure so that it would have been relatively simple.for anyone to enter the trailer and remove the missing property. Consequently, there does not appear to be -any evidence that the suspect is the person who took it. i The one exception which I can see in the police reports is that she admitted to taking a set of mattresses. She claimed, however, that the mattresses were hers and that she had moved in with them. In the absence of direct evidence of ownership, we would, therefore, be unable to refute her claim or prove that the mattresses were not hers to take with her if she so chose. I note the victim's claim that in failing to properly turn the premises over to him upon her move she is responsible to him for the property in the trailer. This may or may not be true, but if true, is a civil claim for resolution in the pending lawsuit surrounding this case and not a matter for criminal prosecution. DAO:dks CIM Qin _? Tony L.

August 4, 1992 CITY O� PLYMOUTR Brian and Susan McMorris 3255 Garland Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: EROSION CONTROL ORDINANCE VIOLATION PLYMOUTH CITY CODE, SECTION 800.29 Dear Mr. and Mrs. McMorris: This letter is written as a follow-up to the previous letter mailed to you by Daniel Faulkner, City Engineer, dated July 27, 1992. That letter briefly summarized the responsibility which homeowners must take to prevent erosion onto adjacent property and city streets. My understanding of the situation was that you had agreed to 'take the necessary preventive measures to prevent erosion onto adjoining properties by installing silt fence, hay bales, or sod along your property line wherever erosion may occur. My site inspection of August 3 revealed that nothing has been done to prevent erosion from your property which is currently not seeded or sodded. I observed that the homeowner to the north has installed several lineal feet of particle board to prevent some erosion. Please be apprised that it is your responsibility to_ install the necessary preventative measures. It is for this reason that the City -must enforce the Erosion Control Ordinance No. 800.29 (copy enclosed). Although you have the option of installing any appropriate erosion control measure, I feel it would be most beneficial in this case if you would lay a few rolls of sod along the common property line. At the same time, you could also replace any damaged sod on *your neighbor's property. I would encourage you to work with your neighbor regarding this issue however. In order to assure that the proper measures are taken in a timely manner; it is necessary to, set a deadline. Therefore, if corrective action has not been taken by Friday, August 14, 1992, the City•will.have the work performed by a private contractor. All related costs will be placed against the property, which will be payable as a special assessment. The City wishes to work with you in these matters relating to erosion control. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 550-5079.

Over the past few ;ears the continuous petty political bickering of the Mayor: and Council of the City of Plymouth has been embarrassing, but their recent action seriously weakens Plymouth and puts our future in jeopardy. In a sudden move, three of the five council members, without a formal complaint or due process, forced Jim Willis, our talented and highly professional City Manager for the past 21 years, to resign. Mr. Willis is too much the gentlemen and, along with his deep love and concern for Plymouth, hos not spoken out.against his outrageous treatment. Jim was brought on board as Plymouth City Manager in 1971 shortly after I was elected Mayor, in 1968. Plymouth was then a disorganized suburban community short on service and assets, long on problems, and without a plan for the future. Our council had it's differences, but these differences were put aside as we set out to recruit the best city manager in the country. We literally searched the country and the proof of our success can be measured by the success of Plymouth over these past couple of decades. Plymouth, with its low city taxes, low debt, quality services, professional public safety, beautiful parks and public buildings has been a beacon of strength and competency among governments at all levels. In an age of public frustration with government, Plymouth has given us hope. What grounds did this council' have in asking for the resignation of this highly competent and thoroughly professional man? We may have a clue to this question if we consider that this recent council has never been able to stifle or control their tendency to quarrel and bicker among themselves. Now three of them have "shown" the other two. This display of "power" may bolster their egos, but what about Plymouth? What effect will this have upon the process for recruiting Jim's replacement? Will a strong and competent candidate be attracted to Plymouth on the strength of a 3 to 2 vote? What will they think when they learn how Jim Willis, who enjoys a marvelous reputation, was so crudely fired? How do Plymouth's fine city employees feel as they have witnessed their boss' unjustifiable and unfair treatment? I am very worried, when the City Council does find someone to fill the' position, that the new manager's talents will probably not exceed those of his three new employers. -,The only conceivable benefit will be that the three council members will feel more comfortable with a weaker individual. Successful leaders know the importance of seeking subordinates who are more talented than themselves, at least in the subordinate's particular field. CIM 0 7'92 Page 2 Jim Willis has seen councils with varying degrees of talent and motivation come and go, but he has been able to keep Plymouth on the positive course that was set in motion many years ago. Now, however, it falls upon the citizens of Plymouth to roll up their sleeves and go to work on rebuilding their city council. I know that Plymouth has an abundance of good hearted and competent people who can fill these positions and provide our city, and other governmental units, with great governance. "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance!" - - and the price of good government is for able and good people to get off their tails and participate. It is with great sadness that I see Jim Willis leave the leadership of this community which he loves. The many long hours of service which Jim and past councils have performed has left a legacy that we and our children can preserve and build upon if we act now. His honesty, steadiness, and professionalism will be greatly missed.

On the other hand, we should prevent everything that tends to his disgrace.,It is parti- cularly fine and noble to put the best construction upon all we may hear about our neighbor and to defend him against the poisonous tongues of those who are• -busy wherever Lhey car► pry out and pounce on something to criticize in their neighbor, misconstruing and twisting things in the worst way" (Luther's Large Cateshism, Explanation to the l;ighih Cummandment). Please forgive the long quotation to start my letter, but it forms the basis of the purpose behind my writing to you. My purpose is not to accuse you of wrongdoing, but rather -to "prevent everything that tends to my neighbor's disgrace." I also assure you that T am in no way involved in the local political scene. While I work in Plymouth, my personal residency is elsewhere. Nor can I make a personal judgement on the resig- nation of Mr. Willis. T do, however, have two concerns with the letter you sent to me and I must also assume was sent to the other clergy in Plymouth. Your. letter is long on allegations, assump- tions, and personal attacks, but is very short in documentation. In fact, there is none. While you are entitled to your personal opinion, there are no facts in your letter to convince me that your opinion is either accurate or inaccurate. My greatest concern is why this letter was sent to the area clergy. I can not use the pulpit as a forum for my political opinions; I have much more important things to pro- claim. My job as pastor of Glory of. Christ Lutheran Church is to proclaim the Good News of the grace of God and the forgiveness that is ours through faith in -Jesus' death and resurrection. As a private citizen I may become involved in government. But your letter was not sent to me as a private citizen but to me as the pastor of Glory of Christ. It is my opinion that you owe the three council members an apology, not just for assuming that their motives were tainted, but that you made public that assumption through your letter and thereby damaged their name and reputation. If would be far more constructive for you to send your concerns directly to the three council members. Since you have already made your concerns public through this letter, I am sending each of them a copy so that they may have the opportunity to defend them- selves. aM 0 7'92 page 2 Sincerely, k'. - Jonathan Strohschein, Pastor Glory of Christ Lutheran Church, Plymouth cc: Mayor Kim M.

Subsequent to the Council's July 6, 1992 denial of the Goff Homes petition, Mr. Goff contacted one of our members on July 16th and requested that our Committee review a revised proposal for the property. After thoughtful consideration, the Committee notified Mr. Goff that we preferred to work through the City of Plymouth's established process for considering usage for this property. Specifically, we believe that it would be inappropriate for us to circumvent the Council's directive to the City Planning Division to evaluate alternative uses and recommend appropriate zoning for this land. As citizens of Plymouth, we are appreciative that our voices were heard and that"we influenced a decision on an issue that would have impacted us significantly. As the Planning Division's recommendations for future use of this land are brought to the Commission and Council for consideration, we would appreciate being advised so that we can be constructive participants in the process. ` If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 550-9471.

I informed Ms. Maslow that we had changed the buildings from 560,000 condominiums to townhomes at $110,000. I explained that we had reduced the density from the 156 allowable units to 60 which is a reduction of 96 units from what'we had proposed originally. Ms. Maslow said that sounded flood to'her and asked us to bring the new drawings to her that day. She stated that upon receipt of the new drawings she would arrange to review them with the other members over the weekend. I asked her if she wanted to set up a meeting and Ms. Maslow stated that she was not interested in setting up a meeting at this time. I called her back on July 20, 1992 to discuss their comments and or concerns with the new proposal and I was informed that the neighbors felt with the M d'iC t b it t d thT t 1 d new a ca en r ng cons raar uc a n e. ge eee-!M QW Greatland traffic now being given access to the area with the connection of Xenium Lane, any additional development in the area would generate too much traffic.

She indicated that 7'92 they were not in favor of any proposal and had planned'to request the City to rezone the property. I realize that it is the opinion of the Council Members that we were not sensitive to the needs of the homeowners and were not cooperative with them. I would like to defend myself to say that we worked with their representative Mr. Scott Miller and met every request they made with regards to submitting materials, attending meetings despite their cancellations of scheduled meetings, their incorrect dates of confirmed meetings and requests for materials in time tables that were less than reasonable. This property has assessements against it in the neighborhood of $150,000.00 from the construction of Xenium Lane and other improvements. We paid First Bank Systems $125,000. as down payment in January with a balance owing to the bank of $375,000 on the property. To grade the property for any development will cost'about $100,000. The utilities and drives for any development will cost $200,000 to $300,000. As you can see the cost to develop this property for any development not including any carrying costs will run $800,000 to $1,000,000. We have taken all of this into consideration while designing our new proposal of 60 townhome units. If we are unable to put 60 units on the Property we will be -forced to let the property go back to First Bank Systems. We are not able to come up with a housing plan that will not generate any traffic. If we could then we wouldn't need the road in front of it and we would not want to pay the assessments for the use of a road. We are proposing an owner occupied townhome development that we believe will fill a need for empty nesters -in and around the Plymouth area. The property is sandwiched between a freeway and a collector street. What other product could be built here that would pay for the property and be in better harmony with the neighborhood? We believe this proposal meets all the obJectives originally brought out by the neighbors. They have now informed us that they are not willing to support any development we might propose which would add traffic to Xenium Lane. I am enclosing the material which we gave to Ms. Maslow for review by the Neighborhood Action Committee. As you can see this is significantly different from our previous proposal. Please make note of the following changes: The density has been reduced from 156 units to 60 units. The elevation has changed from two-story to one-story. Two and four units per building now instead of 12. G 7'92 The exterior appearance of the building has been upgraded. The sale price has been increased from $60,000. to $110,000. I would like the opportunity to speak with each of you either personally or by phone. If you would be willing to discuss this with me I can be reached during the day at 482- 0767 or in the evening at 482-1616. _ Sincerely, I,/� Patrick W.

The surprise is that the plan calls for a widening of County Road 24 along our property from 2 lanes to 6 lanes (2 lanes each direction plus 2 turn lanes) and also cram in an 18 foot wide median and a bicycle path. It's obvious that the Hans Hagen project was platted without consideration for the space required for Project 031. 1 am therefore requesting your help to place a hold on any further home construction for only those lots bordering County Road 24 of the Hans Hagen project, "Seven Ponds, Third Edition", until this issue is resolved. We would have raised this concern earlier, but until the July 29 meeting we didn't know the scope of Project 031. And besides that, over the past 9 months Plymouth City staff have repeatedly told us that the existing County Road 24 would be stubbed and a Cul de Sac would be made for our use and for our neighbor to the east.
