MEETING CALENDARS - City Center and City Council calendars for AUGUST and SEPTEMBER are attached. (M-5) FOR YOUR INFORMATION.... 1. RETURN OF ADDITIONAL TAX INCREMENT REVENUES GENERATED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S EXTRA LEVY REFERENDUM -- Attached is a letter from Independent School District 284 Superintendent Landswerk requesting that the City consider returning the additional tax increment revenues generated by the School District's extra levy referenda. As a result of the letter, we referred the question to Dan Nelson of the City Attorney's office. The attached response indicates that the City is not obliged to return the additional levy if the bonds were issued before May 1, 1988 and if all bonds are pledged to CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM AUGUST 14, 1992 PAGE 3 the repayment of tax increment bonds. He does indicate, however, that the City Council may if it desires, by a majority vote, elect to return the amount of the increment attributable to the extra levy referenda. This action would be contrary to the City's response to other school districts which have made similar requests in the past, namely Osseo and Hopkins. In the absence of City Council direction to the contrary, we will prepare a letter for School Superintendent Landswerk which indicates the City will maintain its present policy. (I-1) 2. FIRE CHIEF SELECTION UPDATE -- The attached memorandum from Craig Gerdes provides an update on the Fire Chief selection process. Craig met with Fire Department officers and the general membership to solicit input on the selection process. Fire Department members asked for direct involvement in the interviews and assessment centers. Fire Department members were advised that their request could be accommodated only if internal candidates were no longer part of the selection process. (I-2) 3. ' BUREAU OF MEDIATION SERVICES DETERMINATION -- The City has received a determination from the Bureau of Mediation Services that the election to determine whether or not clerical, technical, and professional employees should be represented by AFSCME was flawed. The Bureau stated that, due to its error, one employee did not receive a ballot in a timely manner. Since the election was tied, the Bureau determined that one vote could have affected the outcome. Therefore, the Bureau shall conduct another election. The Maintenance of Status Quo Order has been reinstated in full until the matter is settled.' In a telephone conversation with the Bureau, it was stated that they would probably send out a new election order before the end of this week. We have not as of Friday, August 14, received the reelection order. When we do receive the order, there is a ten day waiting period prior to the mailing of the new ballots and then a ten day period during which the ballots must be submitted to the Bureau. Therefore, the election results will probably not be known until after the Labor Day holiday. (I-3) 4. DEVELOPMENT SIGNAGE -- On Friday, August 14, five development signs were installed at the following .locations: 105 Forestview Lane (92065) Sharlee Benson is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an outpatient treatment program for teenagers with chemical abuse dependency problems to be located in the existing Anthony Louis Center, an in-patient treatment center.

Northeast of the intersection of Highway 55 and Revere Lane (92069) Dale S. Bachman is requesting approval of a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment from CL to CS, a PUD Preliminary Plan Amendment to allow for commercial service uses, a PUD Final Site Plan, and a Conditional Use Permit for outside display and sales. 15600 - 34th Avenue North (92070) John Day Company is requesting approval for a PUD Final Plan for an auto service center and a Conditional Use Permit for automotive repair and service.

The utility bills message area is limited to 7 lines, 38 characters per line (including spaces).

TONY CHEN REQUEST FOR FENCE VIEWER -- Tony Chen has requested that the City Council invoke Minnesota Statute 344 and appoint a member of the City Council as a fence viewer to determine the adequacy of a fence which abuts his and his neighbor's property. The City Attorney has advised that the statute is still relevant and may require the selection of a fence viewer as requested. Prior to taking that action, however, we are attempting to work with Mr. Chen and the surrounding property owners to determine: CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM AUGUST 14, 1992 PAGE 5 1. The specific fence in question. 2. Whose property the fence is located on? 3. Are there alternate means of accomplishing the same objective? Attached is a letter to adjacent property owners asking that they attend an August 20 meeting to further discuss this subject. A letter to Mr. Chen is also attached acknowledging his inquiry. If we are unsuccessful, this item will be placed upon the August 31 City Council agenda. (I- 7) 8 BASS LAKE ROAD CONSTRUCTION -- County Commissioners have received complaints from tenants of Maple Grove Mall that the removal of the stop signs at Hemlock and Zachary Lane have caused congestion which has affected their patronage. The evening rush hour is the primary concern. Various solutions were discussed. A temporary signal is to installed at Hemlock Lane in late fall. In the next several week the Zachary intersection will be closed to reduce the elevation by five feet. Traffic will be temporarily detoured to Schmidt Lake Road and Pineview. Dan Faulkner has been asked to contact the police department and advise the County how they would contract for traffic control. This is likely to occur next week sometime at Hemlock Lane. Attached is a memo from Dan Faulkner which provides more detail on this subject. 9.

FL&NAUAY DAVID 11. 10HKbON 109n•1074 Re: Return of Excess Tax Levy to Wayzata Public Schools Dear Frank: You have asked us to review the request received by the City of Plymouth from the Wayzata School District, Independent School District No. 284 (the "School District") in their letter dated July 15, 1992, that the City return to the School District the additional tax increment revenues generated by the School District's extra levy referenda. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, subd. 10, applies to tax incremenE fi�nanc ng districts established prior to May 1, 1986, that are located in school districts in which the voters have approved new local tax rates or an increase in local tax rates after the tax increment financing district was certified. As set forth in their letter, the Wayzata School District has approved such an increase in the local tax rate. • In particular, subdivision 10(b)(1) provides as follows: If there are no outstanding bonds on May 1, 1988, to which increment from the district is pledged, or if the referendum is approved after* May 1, 1988,'and there are no bonds outstanding at the time the referendum is approved, that were issued before May 1, 1988, the authority must annually pay to the school district an amount of increment equal to the increment that is attributable to the increase in the local tax rate under the referendum. GSM AW 14'92 08-13-1992 09:S0 612 339 5697 BESTc!FLANAGAN BEST SC FLA\ -AOA\ Mr. Frank Boyles August 13, 1992 Page 2 Because the City of Plymouth has a number of tax increment bonds outstanding which were issued prior to May 1, 1988, the provisions of paragraph (b)(1) will not require that the City return any additional tax increment revenues resulting form the Wayzata School District's extra levy referenda to the School District. In it my understanding that, as a result of a pooling of tax increment financing district revenues which took place prior to May 1, 1988, all tax increment revenues from all districts located in the City are pledged to the repayment of all tax increment bonds issued by the City. I would recommend that the City confirm, through its records, that this is the case for all the City's outstanding tax increment bonds. Because of this pooled pledge, the City need not try to identify which tax increment bonds are payable from which individual tax increment districts and whether those districts are located inside of the jurisdiction of the School District. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 10(b)(2) provi es as follows—dor cities such as the City of Plymouth, which had bonds outstanding prior to May 1, 1968: If clause (1) does not apply, upon approval by majority vote of the governing body of the municipality and the school board, the Authority must pay to the school district in the amount of increment equal to the increment that is attributable to the increase in the local tax rate under the referendum. Based on the foregoing authority, the Plymouth City Council could determine by majority vote to return to the Wayzata School District the amount of increment that is attributable to the increase in the local tax rate under the School District's extra levy referenda. While we have not attempted to identify which tax increment districts are located with the jurisdiction of the School District, or the allocable portions of the City's tax increment bonds which were issued before and after May 1, 1988 and which are payable from the pooled tax increment revenues in the City, it would be permissible for the City Council to approve the payment to the School District of the appropriate portion -of those additional tax increment revenues attributable to the School District's additional levies. If. the City Council, in its discretion, chooses to go forward in this area and you have any questions regarding in P.03 1 CIM aM 14'92 08-13-1992 09:50 612 339 5897 BESTCFLANAGAN P.\044 ` BEST & FLANI&GAN ,I Mr, Frank Boyles August 13, 1992 Page 3 determination of the allocable tax increment revenues, or if you have any other questions in this regard, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Zastrow Director of Business Affairs Hopkins School District Administrative Offices 10001 Highway 7 Hopkins, MN 55343 Re: REQUEST FOR THE CITY TO PAY TAX INCREMENTS OVER TO THE HOPKINS SCHOOL DISTRICT Dear Mr. Zastrow: The City of Plymouth has Debt Service Requirements against all Tax Increment Financing Districts. These districts were created prior to May 1, 1988 and have outstanding bonds committed to them which were also issued prior to May 1, 1988. It is the City's belief that the growth in these various districts would not have come about without the issuance of these bonds or the commitment on the part of the City to have these areas improved. Therefore, the City does not propose to remit any tax increment payments to the school district until all Debt Service Requirements are satisfied. In addition, your school district will receive a large amount of additional valuation as these districts mature. I trust you will understand the reasoning behind the City's decision, but feel free to contact me at 550-5101 if you wish to.discuss this further. Sincerely, (Za4s4miL I Dale E.

Gerdes - Public Safety Director SUBJECT: FIRE CHIEF SELECTION UPDATE On August 5, 1992 I met with the Fire Department officers and on August 12th I met with the general membership of the Fire Department to solicit input into the selection process for Fire Chief. Both sessions were successful in information exchange and gave members of the Department an opportunity to have up -front input. The following is a general timeline for the upcoming process. - Closing date for applications is August 17, 1992. - Monday, August 24th and Tuesday, August 25th, resume reviews will be conducted to narrow the candidate field based on resume screening. - After the resume screening is completed, a determination will be made as to whether initial screening interviews will be conducted in the normal fashion of in-person interviews. There is a strong potential' that the candidate field will include a large number of out-of- state candidates. I will review with you and the Personnel Coordinator the potential of conducting telephone interviews to further narrow the field and limit outstate expenses. If this is necessary, it would add approximately two weeks to the process to conduct these first -step telephone interviews and limit the outstate candidates to a manageable number based on these interviews. Once a manageable number of out-of-state and instate candidates are obtained, we will conduct an oral interview and written exercise, once again to narrow the field. Questions for these interviews will be developed, including the information obtained from the Fire officers and the firefighters, and then reviewed by personnel. This one or two step process should be completed by mid- September. am o 14'92 Frank Boyles August 13, 1992 Page 2 - Hopefully the field by that time would be narrowed to approximately ten candidates who will be involved in a one -day assessment center. Included in the assessment center will be a fire command simulation as requested by members of the Fire Department, as well as other traditional management exercises. This assessment center should narrow the field to approximately three semifinalists and be completed by the first week of October. - Based on the overall process, a decision would' then be made in conjunction with yourself as to whether or not an outside agency, such as MDA, should be used to assist in the evaluation of semifinalists. I will also make arrangements for these semifinalists to meet officers and members of the Fire Department. in a get -acquainted session similar to the one used during selection of the Director of Public Safety. I plan on a final interview of the semifinalists to be conducted by the two of us, leading then to a job offer hopefully no later than the first week of November. For general information,. there has been a request for direct involvement by members of the Plymouth Fire Department as participants in interviews or assessment centers. Officers and members of the Department were advised that this would only become possible if internal candidates were no longer part of the process. This was understood and well received by members of the Department. If the process selection does allow direct involvement by members of the Department, this will be accommodated. Selection of people to be involved in the interview and assessment process will include fire representatives from outside Plymouth, partially based upon the actual candidate field. I will continue to keep you informed of the direction of this process.

Johnson, Representation Specialist V 1 Log P :^ti moi` ._• � RULING ON OBJECTION TO RESULTS OF ELECTION INTRODUCTION On Friday, July 17, 1992, an agent of the Bureau of Mediation Services, State of Minnesota (Bureau), conducted the tabulation of ballots cast in the Mail Ballot Election in the above -referenced matter. The results of the tabulation were:* Eligible Employees (62) Votes for AFSCME, Council No. 14 (28) Votes -for No Representation (28) Total Votes Counted (56) The Bureau certified the results of the tabulation on July 17, 1992. OBJECTION TO RESULTS OF ELECTION On July 21, 1992, Council 14 filed with the Bureau a written Objection to the outcome of the election in this matter. In it's objection, Council 14 asserted that due to mailing errors, two eligible voters (Tina McNamara and Gladys Kazimer) were unable to timely return their mail ballots.

August 7, 1992 opportunity to respond in writing.' The City informed the Bureau that it would not respond in writing but rather would rely upon the Bureau to conduct and independent investigation of the facts. Accordingly, the Bureau, upon review of internal information, reached the following Findings and Orders. DISCUSSION 1. Election Schedule. Originally, ballots were mailed to all eligible voters on Monday, July 6, 1992. Ballots were to be returned to the offices of the Bureau no later than Thursday, July 16, 1992. 2. Tina McNamara. The original ballot mailed to Tina McNamara July 6, 1992, was returned to the Bureau for insufficient postage on Friday, July 10, 1992. After correcting the postage; this ballot was again sent to Tina McNamara on Friday, July 10, 1992. No ballot was received from Ms. McNamara. These facts indicate that Ms. McNamara was deprived of the full opportunity to cast her ballot. 3. Gladys Kazimer. The ballot from Gladys Kazimer was returned to the Bureau on Monday, July 20, 1992, too late for tabulation. The Bureau set a specific deadline for receipt of mailed ballots in its office. This date was noted in the information included with the ballot set to each eligible voter. The mere fact that Ms. Kazimer did not return her ballot by the deadline does not provide grounds to find any irregularity in the election. 4. Applicable Standards. It is well establishes) that the. Bureau may take steps necessary to correct errors in its own election procedures. 5. Conclusion. Because the election tabulation was tied, one vote could have changed the outcome of the election. This provides the basis for rescinding the results of the original voting and conducting a new election. 1/ Independent School District No. 196, Rosemount, Minnesota and Rosemount Federation of Teachers Rosemount Minnesota, BMS Case No. 89 -PR -2189, August 4, 1989. am AIIG 14'92 • Ruling on Objection to Election BMS Case No. 92 -PCE -1968 Page 3 ...

In order to resolve the complaint, we need to identify a number of things: 1. The specific segment of fence in disrepair. 2. The location of the fence, i.e., on whose property is the fence located and who is responsible for its maintenance? 3. What means are available to repair/replace the fence? A suggestion has been made that the City designate one of the Councilmembers as a "fence viewer" to assess the condition of the fence, determine whether or not improvement is necessary and who should pay for the cost of such improvement. Prior to taking such formal action, I thought it would be useful for us to get together and discuss the matter informally to see if we can resolve this issue. I have tentatively scheduled a meeting for Thursday, August 20 at 4:30 p.m. to further discuss this matter. The meeting will take place at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. I appreciate your willingness to cooperate in this matter. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 550-5013.

Faulkner, City Engineer SUBJECT: BASS LAKE ROAD CONSTRUCTION (COUNTY ROAD 10) CITY PROJECT NO. 812 On Wednesday, August 12, I was called by Jim Voss, Hennepin County Engineering staff, who is assisting with the construction management of the Bass Lake Road improvement project. He indicated that several of the Maple Grove Mall tenants had recently been calling County Commissioners complaining about the construction project adversely affecting their businesses. The business owner's specific concerns appeared to be the removal of traffic signals at the intersections of Hemlock Lane and County Road 10 and Zachary Lane and County Road 10. These signals have been out of service for at least one month and there have been rather long backups of traffic, especially in the morning and evening rush hours. The business owners were purporting that these delays have caused a decrease in their business and were requesting to the County Commissioners that traffic on County Road 10 be better accommodated. Subsequently, according to the Hennepin County Public Works engineers, they were directed by the representative County Commissioners to remove the stop signs temporarily placed on Bass Lake Road at Zachary Lane and at Hemlock Lane to allow for a through east/west movement. The Hennepin County engineers do not support this action and have delayed its implementation. They., subsequently, .coordinated a meeting which 1 attended on Thursday afternoon, August 13, held at the restaurant in the - Merwin Drug Store in the Maple Grove Mall. Also in attendance were Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer of Maple Grove, Jerry Mortenson, Project Engineer with Hennepin County, Luther Nelson, Chief of the construction section with Hennepin County Public Works, Jim Voss, Hennepin County Project Coordinator, the restaurant owner, the hardware store owner, another property owner tenant, and a representative from Prudential. The express concern was the removal of the traffic signals at Zachary and at Hemlock Lane as well as Wedgewood Lane in Maple Grove. The morning rush hour backup problem appears to be more pronounced at Hemlock Lane while the evening problem tends to be more pronounced at Zachary Lane. At Wedgewood Lane the problem occurs over the noon hour due to the difficulty for southbound traffic to make left turns on to Bass Lake Road; and consequently, this lunch hour traffic is going elsewhere. The business owners indicated their main concern is with the evening rush hour delays and they felt they could live with the morning delays. aM 0145- SUBJECT: BASS LAKE ROAD CONSTRUCTION (COUNTY ROAD 10) August 14, 1992 Page Two Potential solutions discussed include temporary traffic signal installations, or the use of off duty.Plymouth Police to direct traffic. It was indicated by the Hennepin County Engineers that a temporary signal is scheduled for Hemlock Lane as part of the approved plans, but this installation could not be accommodated until late fall. The plans do not provide for a temporary signal at Zachary Lane. It was noted that within the next several weeks, Zachary Lane is scheduled for temporary closure while the intersection is lowered approximately five feet. During this time period, traffic would be directed to Schmidt Lake Road and Pineview Lane as a temporary detour route. Deerwood Lane and 57th Avenue will be open to local traffic only and provisions will be made to prevent any through traffic during this temporary closure. A suggestion was made that the intersection of County Road 47 and Bass Lake Road be improved or temporarily relocated and improved and possibly a temporary signal installed in order to use the detour route of Pineview Lane to Schmidt Lake Road on a longer term basis. I indicated this would not be an acceptable solution to the City of Plymouth as Pineview Lane is not designed for continuous heavy through traffic. Due to the extensive utility relocation work necessary with this project, the availability of power to run a temporary signal is limited. The County will be researching alternative power sources for temporary signal installations at Hemlock and Zachary Lane. In addition, they have requested that I contact our Police Department to determine the availability of off duty Police officers to direct traffic during rush hour periods at Hemlock and Zachary Lanes. This would probably be limited to the afternoon rush hour period. I indicated I would contact our Police Department and let the Hennepin County Engineers know of their availability. It was clarified that the cost for Police traffic control would be borne by Hennepin County and not the City. Hennepin County engineers did indicate they would like to take some pro -active step by early next week to resolve the business owner's concerns. If you have any questions, please let me know. ~ DLF:kh cc: Fred G. Moore ciM014'92 MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH It 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: August 14, 1992 TO: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works FROM: Darrell Johnson, Senior Engineering Technician - Drainage SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL MEETING REGARDING STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT Last night I attended a public informational meeting hosted by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District representatives and their consulting engineering firm of James M. Montgomery regarding proposed storm water improvements within the City of Wayzata and Plymouth. My purpose in attending the meeting as an observer was to learn more about the proposed project and to get a feel for the concerns of the affected property owners located within Plymouth. Although I have not seen the report prepared by James M. Montgomery, I understand that the recommended proposal by the engineering firm to prevent downstream flooding in the City of Wayzata includes improvements to be done to the existing Gleason Lake Dam. The improvements would regulate the volume of water leaving Gleason Lake into downtown Wayzata and thereby temporarily raising the elevation of Gleason Lake by approximately one foot higher- than it currently gets during periods of higher rainfall. Currently the elevation of Gleason Lake will rise 1.7 feet during periods of heavy rainfall, and if the improvements are made to the dam the new elevation would be 2.7 feet over normal elevation, creating an additional bounce to the lake of 1 foot. The new high water elevation, -however, would still be below the established OHW of 947 for Gleason Lake as established in the 1980 Storm Sewer Drainage Plan prepared by Bonestroo, Rosene Anderlik and Associates, Inc. The meeting lasted three hours and approximately 60 to 70 residents showed up for the meeting. Mostly all were Plymouth residents. No one spoke in favor of the proposed project, although some agreed that something should be done to improve Wayzata's situation, but not at the expense of additional flooding or property loss in Plymouth. The general consensus was that the project study area did not encompass any of the upstream ponds contributing storm water to Gleason Lake located within Plymouth, and that the time span in which the project was presented to the date it will be decided upon was simply too short notice for the affected property owner's questions to be answered. The Minnehaha Creek Board of Managers will vote on the project on August 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the Wayzata City Hall. WA Vol 4'92 SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL MEETING REGARDING STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT August 14, 1992 Page Two Representatives from homeowner's associations including Cimarron Ponds, Kingsview Farms, and Gleason Lake Apartments, as well as individual homeowners located around Gleason Lake and Black Oaks Lane and areas to the north of Gleason Lake all shared similar concerns with the proposed project. In some areas the Watershed would have to acquire easements below the 947 elevation from Plymouth property owners to implement the project. Questions of basement flooding, shoreline degradation, environmental, and water quality issues were all expressed by those in attendance. One issue that may be fueling the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District's decision making process in approving the project next Thursday night is the fact that the County must certify new assessments prior to September 1 of this year. In any event, I would expect the upcoming meeting to be a lengthy one with many outspoken critics attending the meeting. Attached is a position paper regarding the Gleason Creek Water Management project from the Board of Directors of the Gleason Lake Improvement Association.

RE;Position Paper Regarding the Gleason Creek Water Management Project As you know the GLIA has existed as a non-profit corporation since 1981 and is made up of representatives of all of the Homeowner Associations surrounding Gleason Lake. 95 percent of all the dollars And tens of thousands of hours of work over -these years has been a volunteer organization with minimal or no tax dollars spent on this lake. We are asking each of you to study the enclosed document and support your constituents so that this project is not approved at its existing condition. Their are also a handfull of homes in the Comstock Lane area that could loose up to 50 of their lake facing yards, that the present flood access payout would treat unfavorably, so that needs review. Your invited to our meeting thsi evening or to the one on Thursday evening -as identified in document.Please contact any of the board Members if you want additional information. Thank you CiM 1'� August 10, 1992 Dear Members and Neighbors; yit)-AJ ROAM The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the City of Wayzata have proposed a project that includes a new dam at the outflow of Gleason Lake. The proposed new dam is six times more restrictive than the existing dam and will increase water levels followinglarge storms by as much as 2. 7 Leet (one foot morethan th existing situation). Furthermore, these high water levels will recede to the ordinary high water level much more slowly than they have in the past (we believe ten times more slowly). The Montgomery Engineering Report for the project (on file at Wayzata City Hall) has proposed a preliminary budget of $247,600 to compensate Gleason Lake homeowners for flood easements that must be obtained to legally accommodate the higher water. Your GLIA Board of Directors believes there are some important benefits offered to Gleason Lake by the project. We also believe that the potential damage to the lake and it's shoreline has not been adequately studied and understood. Since the Watershed District may approve the project following a formal public hearing August 20th, we ask you to become active participants now. Please: 1. Study the attached Position Paper prepared by your GLIA Directors and the attached Memorandum from the Watershed District. 2 Attend a meeting of the GLIA to discuss and further develop our position on Wednesday, August 12th at 7:00pm, 16515 Ninth Ave. North (off Vicksburg). 3. Attend the Watershed District Informational Meeting at 7:00pm Thursday August 13th at Wayzata City Hall, 600 E. Rice St. (see Memorandum). 4. Attend the public hearing at 7:OOpm Thursday August 20th also at City Hall. Please support us with your participation to insure that the benefits of this project to Gleason Lake exceed the detriments. For comment or additional information call any member of the Board at the numbers listed at the end of the Position Paper. % MM 01441. 174 0--:,: CIE. 1_.12. 9-505C160 5016 Position Paper, Gleason Creek Water Management Project Prepared and distributed by the Board of Directors August 10, 1992 1-14-112110 D�9_ The Gleason Lake Improvement Association (GLIA) has existed as a non-profit corporation since 1981. It was founded and is supported by homeowners. The purpose of the GLIA as stated in the by-laws is "to improve and preserve the beauty and quality of Gleason Lake ... and surrounding areas, to encourage and instruct residents and visitors in the improvement, enjoyment and preservation of the lake, to raise funds for the foregoing purposes, to work with other organizations and governmental units and agencies with similar objectives ... " . The Association has raised through member subscriptions more than $200,000 to support and further these objectives. The major project is an aeration system to improve water quality, delay eutrophication, and prevent winter fish kill. Other projects include cleanup of the shoreline and lake, voluntary maintenance of the outflow dam and frequent stocking of game fish. The Directors of the Gleason Lake Improvement Association are studying the Gleason Creek Water Management Project proposed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the City of Wayzata. Our objective is to insure that the project supports the overall objectives of the GLIA and does not adversely affect the lake. The two purposes of this Position Paper are (1) to report the current position of the GLIA Directors to our membership and other involved parties and (2) to stimulate additional thought, comment and work. This Position Paper is a working document and will be changed and updated as additional input is received and as the effects of the project on Gleason Lake are better understood. It is intended that it become part of the public record concerning the project. Some of the facts, mostly from the Montgomery Engineering Report available at Wayzata City Hall, are: • The project will replace the existing dam that controls outflow from Gleason Lake. • The new dam will increase both the average and maximum water levels in the lake. This maximum level following large storms is projected to increase by one foot t0 2.7 feet, 0% 01W92 q7 0-17: 07 GLIA, Position Paper, 8/10/92 page 2 • The new dam will limit the outflow for high water conditions to one sixth or less of what it has b�storically and is now. • Higher water conditlons may exist for weeks or possibly months instead 01 days contributing to the increase in average water levels. • Fluctuations between high and low water conditions will be increased by one foot. • The Engineer's Report only analyzes single storms and does not calculate the cumulative effect of multiple rainfalls on lake levels. • The effect of increased water levels on water quality and on shoreline vegetation, erosion and contour has not been Investigated as part of the project. Thus far in our investigation we have tentatively identified the following benefits to Gleason Lake. • An "official" dam properly built and maintained by a government unit (City of Wayzata) • Higher water with attendant benefits. • "Good citizen" benefits to our neighbors in Wayzata (flood control). • "Good citizen" benefits to Lake Minnetonka (water quality). • Direct benefits to Gleason Lake resulting from implementation of a larger Watershed District plan of which the current project is a part. Detriments of the project are less well understood. Detriments may include some or all of the following: • Die off of shoreline grass shrubs and trees due to prolonged high water. • Shore and beach erosion and relocation resulting from high water and absence of existing vegetation. • Reduced use of shore frontage due to increased frequency and duration of water levels above the ordinary high water (shoreline) level. • Different and more difficult conditions for docks and ramps due to higher water and increased fluctuations in lake level. i60 H I, 11_=.c5-c�I1.J T GLIA, Position Paper, 8/10/92 page 3 4 • Periodic restriction of lake access for boats from north of the Luce Line brid a due to reduction in bridge clearance. • Impacts on lake nutrient levels, vegetation, sedimentation, and the ongoing process of eutrophicatlon. • Added expense to relocate GLIA lake aeration electric pumping stations. • Added expense and hardship to specific homeowners whose lots are particularly low relative to current lake levels. CONCLUSION While the desire of the GLIA Board of Directors is to support the Gleason Creek Water Management Project as being good for the larger community, we are unable to do so at this time due to lack of study and public record in three key areas. These are: 1. Ordinary high water level defines shoreline location and contour. The ordinary high water level for Gleason Lake has not changed significantly for at least the last forty years. The magnitude of the increase in ordinary higri water level should be determined so that the effects of this increase can be tim t 2. Environmental projections of the effect of increased water levels on Gleason Lake water a uality and on the surrounding shoreline.character and location should be undertaken completed and recorded. 3. The benefits and costs of the project to the arms upstream of the dam (Gleason Lake and protected wetlands and basins) should be quantified as they have been for the downstream areas of Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka. The Gleason Lake Improvement Association wants to support the Gleason Creek Water Management Project. We desire to work with any and all parties to better understand and quantify impacts on Gleason Lake. Following this we would like to resolve whatever differences remain and to support implementation of the project. Based on what we know at this time the Gleason Lake Improvement Association does not support the project.

APPROVAL OF JULY 15, 1992 MINUTES - The Committee approved the July 15, 1992 minutes as presented. II. RIDERSHIP STATISTICS - Formal presentations on the latest monthly ridership statistics were not given and the following written reports were presented to the Committee. a. Dial -A -Ride - National Bus provided a written report for the last 19 months on the Plymouth Dial -A -Ride service. The report showed that in July of 1992, total costs increased approximately $8,000 over July of 1991 while ridership increased by approximately 300 passengers. National also provided a written report for the months of May and June, which provide a daily summary of the fares received and the number of passengers transported. b. Plymouth Metrolink - Routes 91 and 92 - The MTC provided a written report for the months of April, May, June, and July which detailed the ridership for each week, along with a report that showed daily ridership averages for each month for the period January 1990 through July 1992. The report showed that ridership during April and May of 1992 was approximately the same as April and May of 1991, while ridership in June and July showed a slight improvement over 1991's, ridership levels. c. Plymouth Metrolink - Route 93 - The MTC provided a written report for the months of April, May, June, and July which showed ridership for each week, along with daily ridership averages by month for the period January 1990 to July 1992. The report showed that ridership in April and May of 1992 was about the same as April and May of 1991, while ridership in June and July of 1992 showed a slight increase over the 1991 ridership levels. co 0144A MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMNIITIEE ON TRANSIT August 5, 1992 Page 2 III. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN OR RECOMMENDATION - There was a concern expressed that there was no bus at the Civic Center the evening of August 4. Representatives from both the MTC and National stated that they were aware of the problem and they had spoken with the driver. There was also concern about a service problem on August 3 in which an articulated bus was late. Representatives from the MTC indicated that they were aware of the problem which was due to a late reporting driver. Committee members indicated that they appreciated the fact the articulated bus was now scheduled to arrive first. There was also a concern raised about the out -of- . service, spare, Plymouth Metrolink buses operating on Marquette Avenue. MTC staff indicated that they would be assigning those spare buses to the Snelling Garage which would eliminate the problem. IV. PRESENTATION ON COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS - Steve Mahowald and Aaron Isaacs reviewed the first draft of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) which was prepared by the MTC staff for the City of Plymouth. The COA is an opportunity to review service provided by Plymouth Metrolink and to identify areas for improvement. MTC staff rode each route to determine ridership levels and surveyed passengers to learn their working hours and preferred trip times. Based on the information gathered by MTC staff, new routes and services were prepared and discussed in the report. Messrs. Isaacs and Mahowald's presentation began with a detailed review of the results from the ridership survey for each of the routes. They then reviewed new and previously unserved markets for the City of Plymouth, along with their analysis of service problems and unproductive service. The COA details two proposed service plans with one option keeping Plymouth Metrolink more as a stand alone system, while a second option integrates Plymouth Metrolink service with I-394 transit hubs. MTC staff is recommending the latter option which integrates Plymouth Metrolink service with the I- 394 transit hubs. Other issues that are addressed in the report include potential future service such as Maple Grove to Plymouth commuter service, coordination with transit hubs, locations for park and rides, bus shelters, new bus signs, pedestrian amenities, and traffic control devices such as traffic signals and meter bypasses. Cita 03 1 W" 1vIINU'I'ES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COM IITTEE ON TRANSIT August 5, 1992 Page 3 A question and answer session ' then followed in which Committee members asked about how changes would affect transfer connections, the number of days in which the ridership survey was taken, and when certain roads would be constructed to accommodate the new routes. Committee members expressed their support for changing the arrival times in downtown Minneapolis. City staff acknowledged the effort put forth by the MTC staff and noted that maps showing the transit zones and a map of the total system for Plymouth would be helpful. Additionally, information on the miles of service, the hours of service, and the number of buses will be needed before a final decision can be made. The presentation concluded with a discussion of the timetable, opportunities for public input, and how to incorporate the results of the Dial -A -Ride analysis. V. OTHER BUSINESS - The next Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit meeting is scheduled for September 2 at 7:00 p:m. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. MR:kec 01M 0149% NOTES STUDY SESSION August 3, 1992 PRESENT: Mayor Bergman, Councilmembers Edson, Tierney, and Vasiliou, Finance Director Hahn, Public Safety Director Gerdes, Community Development Director Dillerud, Public Works Director Moore, Acting City Manager Boyles The City Council reviewed the status of their 1992/1993 Goals and Objectives. They noted that goal II.b.l should be completed on August 24. Goal II.b.4 should be accomplished to work together with the 1993 budget. Goal III.b.5 will be provided as part of a staff report on August 24. The Council entertained new goals and objectives, including the following: 1. Recruit and hire a new city manager. 2. Update the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan. 3. Determine whether or not to pursue the Sumek Study recommendations. 4. Decide whether or not the City Center is to be expanded or to remain as is. 5. Undertake team building and goal setting. 6. Work with the TwinWest Focus Group through Larry Dowell to determine what would be appropriate to do facilitate interaction with community business persons and the city employees who deliver services which affect them. These objectives will be incorporated into the revised 1992/1993 Goals and Objectives. The Council reviewed a matrix showing the three team building proposals: The general consensus was reached that the proposal by Carl Neu and Lyle Sumek was most responsive to public sector needs. The Council directed that information be obtained on the amount of expenses that can be expected as part of the team building project and charges. Frank Boyles will obtain this information and update the comparison of proposals. He will also contact Jon Elam to determine whether he will be available to answer questions on August 17 with respect to the process which he has suggested for consideration to fill the position.

I. TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD (TAB) NOMINATIONS: The TAB is a very important transportation related advisory body and provides input to the Metropolitan Council, MNDOT and the Regional Transportation Board. It has many important functions including the Annual prioritization for funding FAU projects. The role of TAB and the city officials on TAB has been significantly enhanced under the provisions of the new Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. Ten positions on TAB are reserved for city elected officials (Mayors or Councilmembers) and the AMM has the responsibility for selecting those officials. The TAB terms are for two -years and will begin October 1, 1992 and run thru September 30, 1994. The TAB normally meets the third Wednesday afternoon of each month in the Metropolitan Council Office. REd,-OPz ONDATiGiC3 WAI i'ED: The AMM Board is soliciting recommendations/volunteers for TAB via this bulletin. Some of the incumbents will be reappointed but there will be several new appointments and officials are needed from all parts of the metropolitan area. Recommendations should be in written form and submitted to the AMM office to the attention of Vern Peterson, by no later than August 24, 1992. II. MEETINGS TO DISCUSS THE AMMS,1 METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE TASK FORCE REPORT: The Metropolitan Governance Task Force is ready to renew its deliberations and finalize its report on the form regional governance should have in the metropolitan area. -1- 183 university avenue east. st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227-4008 CIM7 To this end, the Task Force has scheduled two meetings to solicit comments from ypu - member city officials - to help provide direction. The first is August 20 at 7 p.m. in the St. Louis Park City Council chambers for city officials on the western side of the metropolitan area. The second is planned for August 27 at 7 p.m. in the Maplewood City Council chambers for officials in the eastern portion. Both meetings are expected to last two hours. St. Louis Park city offices are at 5005 Minnetonka Blvd. Exit at Highway 100, go south to Minnetonka Boulevard, go east for three blocks. The Maplewood city offices address is 1830 E. County Road B, about one block east of White Bear Avenue, and about four blocks south of Highway 36. The Task Force's preliminary report, issued during the AMM's Annual Meeting, has generated discussion among state, regional and metropolitan agency officials. We hope to spark good discussion from city officials. We have several areas that need development, such as the transit/transportation/MTC/RTB question, and we look to you for some guidance. A copy of the report was mailed to your manager or administrator in early June. Please call our office (490-3301) if you need a copy of the report. Task Force members hope for lots of comments from city officials before taking any more action on the preliminary report. We want this to reflect city officials' points of view and consensus, not just the Task Force. Any recommendations requiring legislative action would be considered by the appropriate AMM policy committee. Again, we hope we can see you at one of the meetings and please call our office and let us know if you wish to speak. III. REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD (RTB) LOCAL OFFICIALS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LOAC) : Nominations are also needed for'the RTB Local Officials Advisory Committee. This advisory body which as its name implies was established to provide input to the RTB and its chair, is being revitalized. The AMM Board recently evaluated this body and believes it can play a more important role in the regional transit system and encourages city officials to participate. Members of the RTB Local Officials Advisory Committee can be either elected or -2- elm 014192 J :T-- \ appointed city officials. The committee normally meets the second Wednesday morning of each month at 7:30 a.m. The names of all city officials willing to serve on this committee should be forwarded to the AMM office, to the attention of Vern Peterson, by no later than August 24, 1992. DISTRIBUTION NOTE: This bulletin has been mailed to Mayors and Managers/Administrators only. We would appreciate it if the administrative official would distribute copies to all councilmembers as well. Thank vou. -3- elM P 14 Ehlers and AssoggMinc.

Please distribute to governing body members JULY, 1992 1992 MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET REVIEW Thus far in 1992 the municipal bond market has seen the Bond Buyer (20 -Bond, 20 -Year) Index rate move from a high of 6.79% to a low of 6.16%, which is the current rate. One year ago the BBI was 7.07%. With the current low interest rates and high demand for municipal bonds, financing new projects and any refinancings in the near future should result in exceptionally low borrowing costs and interest savings. Call any of the account executives at one of our three offices for an analysis of any financing needs at no charge. OFFICIAL INTENT DECLARATION NECESSARY TO REIMBURSE FUNDS EXPENDED FOR PROJECT COSTS FROM BOND PROCEEDS Don't forget about final IRS Reimbursement Regulations which are now in effect for all bonds issued after March 2, 1992. These Rules apply to only those bond proceeds which will be used to reimburse you, the issuer, for a project cost you paid from your own funds prior to the time that the bonds were issued. For every expenditure paid after March 2, 1992, if the issuer expects to bond for that cost in the future, it must complete an "official intent declaration" as long as bonding for the total project costs does not exceed 20%. The reimbursed expenditure must be 'a capital expenditure, and "reimbursement" must be made within one year of when the expenditure was made or within one year of when the property was placed in service, whichever is later: The Official Intent Declaration must state it is under Treasury Regulations Section 1.103-18, a general functional description of the "project," or explain and describe the fund/account from which the expenditure will be paid and the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued to reimburse the expenses. The "Official Intent Declaration" should be part of an established process. The issuer must pass a resolution establishing procedures relating to compliance with reimbursement bond regulations under the IRS.

Tax Capacity Ratio Ganges Taxes Contacted 1992 Homestead Property 1 % up to $72,000 2% $72,000-$115,000 2.5% over $115,000 Commercial 3.1% up to $100,000 Property 4.75% over $100,000 1 - 3 Res. units 2.8% 4+ Res. units 3.5% Seasonal Dwellings 2.2% Taxes Collected 1993 71% up to $72,000 2% over $72,000 3.0% up to $100,000 4.70% over $100,000 2.6% 3.4% 2.0% up to $72,000 2.5% over $72,000 Taxes Collected 1994 I% up to $72,000 2% over $72,000 3.0% up to $100,000 4.60% over $100,000 2.5% 3.4% 2.0% up to $72,000 2.5% over $72,000 • Tnrth to taxation hearings must now be held between November 29 and December 20. • State Sales Tax: All political subdivisions (except school districts and hospital/nursing homes owned and operated by local government) must pay state sales tax. Purchase of library equipment, books and periodicals are also exempt. • Levy limits are to be repealed on local units of government, but an annual levy report must be filed with the Commissioner of Revenue. If the report is not filed by January 30, the late penalty will be a 5% reduction in LGA and Equalization Aid. • Tax Increment Law. The first change clarifies the base year for state aid reductions frdm municipalities. The new definition is the assessment year of the district's original net tax capacity. The second change deletes reference to average original local tax rates for TIF districts with more than one tax rate. • Housing and Redevelopment Authorities now have the authority to pledge the general obligation of the "general jurisdiction governmental unit" for additional security for revenue bonds issued to finance qualified housing.projects. A qualified housing project is for persons and families with incomes that do not exceed 80% of the area median income for elderly persons. An election is not required but the principal amount must be approved by the governmental unit at a public hearing. Pledged revenues must equal or exceed 110% of the principal and interest due on the bonds for each year. The maximum bonds to be Issued is the greater of 0.5% of the taxable market value in the governmental jurisdiction, or $3 million. Contracts: Present law provides that contract estimates for $10,000 or less can be awarded by quotation or in the open market at the discretion of theoverning body. The Uniform Municipal Contracting Law was amended so that if the amount exceeds $10,000 but does not exceed $25,000, the contract can be awarded by sealed bids or by direct negotiation by obtaining two or more bids without advertising. Any contract estimated to exceed $25,000 must be solicited by public notice. Equaled Debt Service: The 1992 Legislature approved a new equalized debt service program for school districts. Based upon a formula, Minnesota school districts may receive state participation in their debt service payments. We have the information necessary to review the effect of this program on your current and/or proposed bonds. County Capital Improvement Plans: The "sunset" provision was extended five years. The final year has been extended to 1998, rather than 1993. c1M 0 1 BALANCED BUDGET IS UNDER YOUR CONTROL Moody's Investors Service recently completed a review of all 40 Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan area school districts. Thirty-one ratings were confirmed, seven districts were downgraded and two districts were upgraded. overall 63% of the school districts had an "A" rating or better. Credit ratings reflectMoody's assessment of an Issuers's debt position, financial performance, the local economy, and the strength of financial management. All districts share the strength, size and diversity of the regional economy, but individual districts have some size, composition and socioeconomic profile differences in their local economies. School districts with higher than average ratings (A-1 or higher) tend to have more affluent populations, sizable commercial or industrial portions in their tax bases, a good debt position and satisfactorryy financial performance. School districts with lower than average rating (Baa or lower) tend to exf�ibit poor debt management which includes rolling over short term debt and weak financial operations. The debt levels for long-term debt issued by the districts themselves are not above national medians, but overall debt levels (which include debt issued by the districts themselves plus the proportionate share of debt issued by overlaing governments) are above average. Long-term pp credit ratings are not affected by short-term debt when an issuer borrows solely for cash flow purposes. However, some ratings were decreased In districts who have been issuing shbrt=term notes to repay outstanding notes. Moody's evaluates several factors when reviewing a district's financial operations. In today's economy, school districts nationwide are finding it difficult to provide quality education and balance their budgets. One of the critical financial measures is the undesignated General Fund balance. Moody's considers, as a very general rule, a General Fund balance of at least 5% of operating revenues to be prudent. The financial management and operations of the districts varied widely. For the 40 districts, the median undesignated General Fund balance as a percent of General Fund revenues was 2.7% for the 1989-91 penod. This past year Ehlers and Associates completed a statewide study for the Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB). Our analysis also concluded that the unreserved undesignated General Fund equity as a percentage of budgeted revenues was the most important factor in measuring the financial health and local management control. A school district and Its management cannot control the local economy, enrollment growth or state policies, but it can make policies and choices that determine whether or not the budget is balanced. For a more in-depth review of Moody's criteria for credit ratings and an analysis of your financial operations and policies, no matter which state you are located in, call any of the Ehlers and Associates offices. EXEMPTION FROM WISCONSIN SECURITIES REGISTRATION EXPIRES As Wisconsin municipalities plan to issue general obligation notes and bonds, It is essential to review the State of Wisconsin security registration requirements to determine whether there is still a basis for exemption. Two of the previous exemptions have expired. To be exempt from registration, municipalities issuing obligations (other than revenue obligations), must prepare 1991 financial statements for fiscal year 1991 in accordance with full GAAP accounting in order to avoid securities registration. If a municipality Is not eligible for this exemption, they will need to allow time and additional costs for registering the issue. If your 1991 financial statements will not comply with the exemption and you need to borrow, you may want to issue debt before your 1991 financial statements are finalized. om 014'* 1 WISCONSIN OFFICE MOVE Ehlers and Associates is happy to announce our recent move to Brookfield.

Goldman The best place to start implementing ADA compliance Is with your own city employees. Some of your workforce may be disabled and certainly front line em- ployees will come In contact with dis- abled citizens seeking city setvlces. Pro- vide sensitivity/awareness training to all front line municipal employees and su- pervisors about both the employment and service delivery implications of the ADA as it relates to their activities. Teach your employees how to interact and communicate with persona with dis- abilities. Just as the tents' African Amer icon" and "persons of color' are accept- able when interacting with minorities, there is a language of disability. Avoid terms such as "crippled," "retarded," or "confined to a wheelchair." The term "handicapped," while found in certain laws, has been superseded in popular usage by the term "person with a disabil- ity" If you speak someone's language and treat that person with dignity, they're less likely to sue you. • Determine whether your city has a commission of persons with disabilities or has frequent interaction with orga- nizations that represent persons with dis- abilities. If you have an advisory com- mission, the members may be knowledgable about or have access to information that an assist your compli- ance efforts. For example, the disabled advocates may be able to assist your city with outreach and recruitment for em- ployment, reasonable accommodation suggestions, or barrier removal training for assessing structural changes hes city buildings. yor city government does not have an existing commission, consider the establishment of an ADA advisory com- mittee. It should be comprised of diverse groups of persons with disabilities, advo- cates for disabled persons, and commu- nity leaders. The Department of Justice strongly recommends that local govern- ments seek input from persons with dir abilities as they comply with the law. EMPLOYMENT PROVISIONS Position Descriptions In order to deteemine an applicant's qualifications, it's Important to under- stand the job duties. It sounds like good Oerso mei management, right? However, ;kith the first ADA employment deadline now in effect, It now becomes necessary to achieve effective compliance with the. employment provisions of the American with Disabilities Act. While ADA does not require a city to have a position de- scription for each city job, check your sate or local civil service or personnel laws, because they may. It is important to note that the ADA does provide that a position description prepared before a job is advertised or before interviewing applicants shall be considered evidence of the essential job functions (42 U.S.C. Section.12111(8)). Begin by examining each position de- scription. Ask the following types of questions: Is It accurate? Does it Indicate what the incumbent of the job really ADA video conference The National League of Cities will sponsor a video teleconference featuring "Action steps toward compliance." Whit local govem- ments must do to meet ADA re- quirements" on Thursday, August 13 from 1:30 pm. until 3:00 pm. at its seven teleconference sites. This is the first in a two-part series on ADA compliance. for more In- formation, contact the Center for Education and Information Re- sources at (202) 626.3181. does? Too often job descriptions lay fal- low while the actual work done on the job changes. Old job descriptions that no longer reflect the job duties an come back to haunt you. Continue the practice of reviewing all position descriptions reg- ularly. The public notice provision requires local governments to Indicate their com- pliance with the ADA. This means that when your notice sates that as an equal employment employer, the city does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, national origin, eta, you must add "dis- ability" to the list Be sure to post and distribute public notices outlining your compliance. This is required under the ad, just as it Is under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C.Sec.12115). Treat outreach recruiting for persons with disabilities in the same way the city outreaches for other protected classes, such as women and minorities. Identify organizations and groups that represent persons with disabilities to see if they can help you disseminate job announce- ments. Ask those groups with whom else should you outreach. REASONABLE ACCOMMODA- TIONS POLICY Providing "reasonable accommoda- tions" to qualified applicants and em- ployees is an employment requirement, unless It would impose an "undue hard- ship." Thereforeyour city government should develop and implement a policy of reasonable accommodation. Consider the creation of a reasonable accommoda- tion committee to help identify resources, equipment and approve expenditure. Include on you committee city staff with human resource/personnel, facility maintenance, budgetary/8nandol, pro- gram/service delivery, and legal back- !• It is advisable to let supervisors have a certain specified dollar level of authority but not of expenditure. The expenditure request could then be forwarded to the committee or the ADA coordinator for final approval. In addition, let the com- mittee decide requests for accommoda- tion that ental] expenditure over the designated ilmit Ask the personnel de- partment to tack all expenditure for reasonable accommodation and identify resources utilized. This means that indi- vidual supervisors will not have to search for a vendor of a telecommunication de - via for the deaf (IDD) when s/he him a hearingoupaired ldng�iybuilding tl memory, which saves time and money. Whenever a person make a request for reasonable accommodation, docu- ment all Interactions concerning the re- quest and all alternatives considered as well as any accommodation provided Persons with disabilities are a resource and often know what they need to do a job. Good faith efforts can mitigate the ward of damages under the Civil Rights Act of 1991. AIDS and Communicable Diseases Persons who are HIV positive or who have AIDS are covered by the ADA. It's important that cities ensure privacy and accommodation, Including 'light duty," flexible work hours, or working at home (telecommuting) to persons with HIV or AIDS. In developing this policy, bear In mind that in several states, e.g., Wiscon- sin, there are very strict limitations on disclosure of AIDS testing. The ADA has not preempted a sate or local law which affords the person with a disability (in- cluding the person with AIDS or who is HIV positive) more protection. Worker compensation and Insurance Review these policies for compliance with ADA. Employee reassignment poll - des an be arranged, and perhaps recog- nized as reasonable accommodations, to keep qualified employees in the workforce. It is also Important to remem- ber that a prior workmen's compensation claim should not be used to disqualify a person from future employment, because if the employer perceives the individual as disabled, then they may be subjected to ADA litigation. On the other hand, it is permissible to require all new employees to complete a form which identifies all prior workmen's compensation injuries, so that if rewinjured, the claim an be drawn from the "second injury fund." FIRST AID PRACTICES Develop a practice of universal proto- cola in which the person giving the assis- tance always must wear gloves and/or a mask, as appropriate, regardless of whether the person receiving help has a known disability. While the ADA and EEOC rules may allow for disclosure of disabling conditions to first aid personnel when appropriate if the disability may require emergency treatment, wte or lo- cal law, as noted above, may not EMERGENCY EVACUATION PRO- CEDURES Develop an, emergency evacuation plan for mobility -impaired or vision im- paired employees who work in a munid- pal building with an elevator that may not be available in the event of a fire or power failure. Know where the persona with disabilities who may need help are normally assigned. have alternate per- sonnel designated in ase the primary helpers are out of the office. Communi- cate with the persons with disabilities to make them aware of who and what to expect In ase of an emergency. CONTRACTING POLICY AND PRACTICE When contracting for any personnel related service, be it a health benefit, training program, office holiday or other social function, staff reheat, make arae the services are accessible to all employ- ees (and family members, if it Is a social event) who may be disabled If a city contndor, adhng on behalf of the city, falls to comply with the ADA and denies a service to an otherwise qualified indi- vidual with a disability, the city (along with the provider) may be held liable. Therefore, if possible, check out the oat- . tactor for aevessiblllty. . In all can, include clauses in the, agreement whereby the contractor agrees to comply fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act and will indemnify/hold . harmless the city from the casts, indtd- ing but not limited to damages as well as attomff/s fees and staff time, in any action or proceeding brought alleging a, violation of ADA. If your city contracts with a private contractor to renovate or construct a new facility, insist on, and ensure, full access in accordance with the AAA Accessibility Guidelines. SUMMARY We advisable to review periodically your ADA efforts. lbllow, build upon, and enhance, if feasible, your self-eval- uation and transition plans. Your compli- ance requirements should be viewed as ongoing. The sate of compliance at any one moment is but a freeze-frame photo of an ongoing, unlimited motion picture.

The article cites preliminary findings that suggest phosphorus from sources other than the Metro Plant, most notably non -point source agricultural run-off, may be a larger part of the problem than scientists originally believed. We expect to have additional information from the Mississippi River Phosphorus Study available for an MWCC Commissioner's workshop in October. The deadline for completion of the River Study is December of 1992. In the meantime, we will continue with our efforts to increase public awareness of this issue. Sin ely, e r Louis R. Clark, Chair Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer I6, -0810-(D 04 _ AUG 13 �yy2 VE o p�Yr�ourK elm 014 ars SA -METRO Treatment plant may not be source: problem�­: of Pepin CHARLES LASZEWSKI STAFF MUM In 1988, a bumper crop of algae in Lake Pepin on the Mississippi River killed fish and made the lake stink. Lake residents and Wisconsin officials immediately blamed the sewage plant in St Paul. But a two-year study by Minnesota, Wisconsin and federal agencies suggests the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant may have gotten a bum rap. Instead, the algae explosion, which robbed the lake of oxygen, may have been activated by the lake itself. Phos- phorous, an ingredient in fertilizer, has been discovered in the lake's sediment,, a legacy of farmland runoff and treatment plant discharges. Researchers now suspect that wind -whipping , the shallow waters of Lake Pepin brings the phosphorus from the lake bottom to the surface, where weeds absorb it — a condition made worse by low river flows during the drought of - 1988. ' . These findings will be important when the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency decides next year whether the Metropoli- tan Waste Control Commission must in- stall expensive phosphorous -removal equipment at its sewage treatment plant serving the Twin Cities. The equipment could cost more than $300 million and would mean higher sew- er bills for homeowners and businesses in the metropolitan area. "We may be finding that the phospho- rus is storing itself every year and then showing itself in the drought," said Russ Felt, supervisor of the municipal section of the pollution control agency's water quality division. The question, Felt said, is whether con- . �l trolling phosphorous from the sewage treatment pleat �vIll eliminate this p>vb.= lem during dry years. Said Felt "If that's_ all we do, we might not see a benefit"_-' Researchers never doubted that plias; phorous caused the algae to bloom forir: .years ago in Lake Pepin. Phosphorus kid nutrient that belps all plants, including: algae, to grow. It is abundant in -:-Me: environment and winds up in the Missf s= sippi River from many sources. -r The new research indicates phosp6o-: rous from sources other than the metro-. plant may be' a larger problem than saw entists bad believed. One major-sourct*_ phosphorus is farm fertilizers that wash ' away, particularly into the Minnesota; River and then into the Mississippi+ X°�9 said. . . During a -drought, this process is cak, plicated by low flow in -the Mississippi River. �. In most years, a drop of water enter. ing Lake Pepin takes nine days to flow through the lake and resume its course. downstream. But during drought yeam the river slows, and water takes 60 days to flow through, said Steve Heiskary, a research scientist with the pollution cwn- trol agency who is working on the stud- ies. Terry Moe, western boundary rivers coordinator for the Wisconsin Depart- ment of Natural Resources, said research stili shows the metro plant is a probleiii, especially during a drought, when it- re- leases the same amount of wastewater even though the river is lower. The plant's main sources of pbosphorus are household human waste, some detergents and waste from industry. But Wisconsin officials may soften their position on requiring additional \, -k C_ treatment equipment at the plate. Moe said the department is consid- ering whether money could be bet- ter spent on controlling otbm sources of phosphorus, including farm runoff. The commission- that operates the plant is testing two systems to remove phosphorous from waste - a. method uses a cbemi- cal to settle out the phosphorus in a tank, said Rent Johnson, assis- tant manager of water quality & vision at the comm ission. Another method uses microscopic organ• isms to remove the nutrient, be said No decision • has' been made oc installing equipment for full-scale treatment • Estimates on building a ' full-tcale system to remare most of the phosphorus range from $84 million to $350 mi boa. and the yearly operating casts would be between $9 million and $24 million. Johnson and Felt said a comput- er model will be used to analyze which sources dump the most phrou osphos into the Mississippi River and Lake Pepin.

It is also common in many products, including fertilizers and cleaning agents. 2. Phosphorus is a key nutrient that often regulates the growth of algae in lakes. High phosphorus levels promote algae growth. In turn algae growth lowers the dissolved oxygen in the water, leaving less oxygen available for fish. This can significantly change the ecosystem of a lake. 3. The drought of 1988 severely reduced the flow of the Mississippi River. In Lake Pepin, 50 miles downriver from St. Paul, excessive algae depleted the oxygen in the water and fish were killed. Some attributed the algae growth in Lake Pepin to phosphorus discharged into the river by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's (MWCC) Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant in St. Paul. This prompted concerns about the need to reduce the amount of phosphorus in the Metro Plant's effluent. 4. Phosphorus enters the Mississippi River from a variety of sources: "point" sources such as wastewater treatment plants and industrial plants, and "non -point" sources such as surface water run-off and storm sewers. The Mississippi and Minnesota rivers both contain significant amounts of phosphorus from agricultural run-off and other sources before reaching the Twin Cities metro area. 5. The MWCC is involved in three studies to assess whether phosphorus poses a risk to the Mississippi River system, and, if so, what measures could be implemented to reduce the amount of phosphorus entering the river. 6. The MISSISSIPPI RIVER PHOSPHORUS STUDY is a joint venture of several agencies, including the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the MWCC, and the Wisconsin and Minnesota Departments of Natural Resources (DNR). This study is investigating how different levels of phosphorus in the Mississippi River affect water quality, and where the phosphorus originates. The study is also trying to determine appropriate water quality goals for phosphorus. It is expected to be completed by December. 1992. 7. The METRO PLANT EVALUATION STUDY, conducted by the MWCC, is currently evaluating two methods of removing phosphorus during the wastewater treatment process. These are demonstration projects, and a draft report *is expected by December 1992. 8. The PHOSPHORUS SOURCE -REDUCTION STUDY, coordinated by the MPCA with support from the MWCC, is researching ways to reduce point source phosphorus loading in the•surface waters of the Twin Cities metro area. This study will also evaluate the need for additional regulatory phosphorus source control measures. 9. The -Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) is responsible for managing the wastewater of the Twin Cities area, to protect the public health and environment. The MWCC serves 105 communities and treats approximately 300 million gallons of sewage per day. The MWCC is governed by a Board of Commissioners who set agency policies and represent geographic districts within the seven -county metro area.

Owen 17015 County Road 24 Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD 24 CITY PROJECT NO. 031 Dear Mr. Owen: Thank you for sharing your concerns about the County Road 24 project and participating in the recent public hearing on this subject. I understand from your letter that you are, first and foremost, displeased with some of the design elements of the project. We are currently looking at alternative ways to access your property and to minimize the impact of the proposed improvement to you. Strgar Roscoe Fausch, the consulting engineer for this project, has examined alternative accesses to you property. It is my understanding that Dick Pouliot has arranged a meeting with you and the Stolbas to discuss these alternatives on Monday August 17 at 2:00 p.m. here at the City Center. I thought it would be useful to clarify a few of the points in your letter. First of all, County Road 24 is being widened from its existing two lanes to a four lane facility. It is separated by an 18 foot wide grass median. This 18 foot median is used to install left turn lanes at ` the Medina Road intersection and again at 36th Avenue North. In addition, an 8 foot wide bituminous path is to be constructed along the road. As a second .clarification, the Hans Hagen Seven P9nds project, was platted, fully contemplating these road improvements. There was an extensive planning process to determine the exact location of these improvements. The process dates back to the early 1980's when the City adopted its Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Since then, the location for new County Road 24/County Road 9 has remained in the Thoroughfare Plan. In 1990, the plan was finalized after two public meetings held by the Planning Commission to receive public questions and comments. Our mailing list shows that affected persons, including yourself, received notices of these meetings. Following this public input, the City Council adopted a specific alignment as is proposed in City Project 031. Accordingly, this alignment was used when the Hans Hagen Seven Ponds Addition was platted. CIM As 14'* 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 550-5000 \U c..

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. Mayor Bergman I appreciate your prompt response and follow-up to my telephone call. I will also appreciate any help with this request. Thank you. Sincerely, Richard W.

This report was approved by the Plymouth City Council. The conditions for the connections by either city are established' either within my report to the Plymouth City Council or -the letter from Jim Dillman, the Director of Public Works of Medina. I am requesting that you prepare an agreement which will be approved by each City Council. The agreement would provide that the VFW Post within the City of Plymouth could connect to the sanitary sewer and water system in the City of Medina. The agreement would also provide that the 19 properties as identified'by Medina in the Holy Name Lake area could connect to the Plymouth sanitary sewer system. Other conditions would also have to be established as contained within the approval of each City Council. Currently, the City of Plymouth is providing sanitary sewer and water service to the Holy Name Church/School which is -located within Medina. For your information, I am enclosing a copy of that agreement. If there are any questions on the agreement which I need prepared, please contact me.

The Plymouth City Code prohibits the issuance of liquor licenses to premises with delinquent property taxes. Subsequently I received a phone call from James Bebus, Four Seasons Liquor, indicating that he and other businesses may be interested in contacting the City Council to request that this provision be amended. I informed Mr. Bebus that I would check with the City Attorney to determine if the provision is strictly local authority which the City Council could amend if they desired, or if the provision is -state law which the Council would not have authority to amend. Attached is a copy of an opinion of the Plymouth City Attorney on this issue. Please note in the second paragraph that he determined this is a local issue and that the City Council has authority to amend the provision if it desires to do so. The Council has not recently discussed this issue so Icannot guide you with respect to the Council's position on this matter. If you wish to bring this matter before the Council for consideration, a good time would be the Plymouth Forum.

The City Code in Sections 1201.01 and 1206.39 adopts state law provisions regarding liquor control and licensing. Section 1206.43 prohibits licensing any premises for which state or local taxes or assessments are delinquent and unpaid. There is no similar State law. Minnesota Statute Section 270.72 prohibits a political subdivision from issuing a license if the Commissioner of Revenue notifies the subdivision that the licensee owes taxes. "Taxes" as used in Section 270.72 refers to all taxes "payable to the Commissioner." Real estate taxes and assessments are not payable to the Commissioner, and therefore section 270 does not prohibit the issuing -of a liquor license for premises that are. delinquent on property taxes. Paul Kaminski spoke with the Minnesota Liquor Control Commission which agreed with this interpretation. Section 1206.43 of the city Code is the only obstacle in the way of issuing a renewed license to the tax delinquent premises. That Section applies to all types of liquor licenses. if the City decides it would like to issue licenses to the businesses in the Four Seasons Mall, it would have to amend Section 1206.43. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding the above. Sincerely yours, Rober Meller, Jr.� PEK/kd/5797K cc: Mr. Frank Boyles, Acting City Manager Mr. Paul E.

The City has licensed three establishments for the sale of liquor in that mall: Four Seasons Liquor Inc. 4232 Lancaster Lane North Marcello's Inc. 4112 Lancaster Lane North Hon Kong Inc., d/b/a Golden China Restaurant 4108 Lancaster Lane North off -sale intoxicating license on -sale 3.2 and wine on -sale 3.2 and wine All three of these licensees are aware that the property owner has failed to pay the property taxes on the shopping center, and have been informed of Plymouth City Code Section 1206.43. I have received phone calls from all of the business owners. They indicate that the shopping center owner is in financial difficulty. The business owners have lawsuits pending against the shopping center owner that have been ongoing for over a year. The suits are likely to continue for some time in the future. They may want to petition the Council to amend the City Code. CSM AIS 14992 /I\,Aiv Pr� -e_ 1--5?00-59'--�-1.-* . Memo - Meller July 13, 1992 Page 2 Since it appears we will likely have a problem with the licenses at year end (the wine licenses and off -sale intoxicating licenses expire January 31, 1993), my questions -are: 1. Is the provision in Plymouth City Code Section 1206.43 strictly local authority or does it reflect state law? 2. Does Minnesota Statute 270.72, or other sections, relate to delinquent property taxes, or only to sales and income taxes payable to the State? 3. Do the City and the State provisions apply to all types of liquor licenses (on- sale/off-sale, intoxicating, 3.2, wine)? I will notify the three business owners and the property owner of your response so they have sufficient time to decide how they want to proceed. N Thank you. cc: Frank Boyles, Asst.

The first one is frivolous, but may be a money making idea for the shopping centers. The second one is about amaterial used on the coating of roads. From what I gathered from the article, there is black top made frith a substance to make it strong and making it unnecessary to repair constantly. Every year the roads are deteriorated to the point they have to be patched or resurfaced. The curbs in my area are, or have become filled with weeds or disappearing altogether. I understand from some I have talked to that it wears out the tires of the cars much faster. Also, that it costs a little more in the beginning. What difference does it make if persons who travel so much on the roads wear their tires out. They can pay for new tires tather than everyone having to be taxed for the repair of the entire road system. The initial installation would not cost like the cost of repairing the roads every year.

But merchants say people are coming back Friday or the next week to do some serious shopping, after having noticed a particular store or display while strolling around during Marketfest. - Nearly all the stores stay open late on Thursday nights and are finding an increase in traffic. "It's usually all new customers, and they buy upscale souvenirs and curio -type things" said Sharon Conrad of RS Conrad, a downtown shop. "When thousands of people are walking by my window, it's incredible. rve never had such great exposure."

Litle Andrew Dittrich, there with his grandparents, liked the bunnies best, but seemed fascinated by the geese. Grandma Polly Dittrich said she'd be back in the morning for the weekly Farmer's Market, because it was too hard to carry vegetables and Andrew at the same time. Volunteers direct craft tables for the little ones, and some youth organizations operate small games. A dozen bales of hay serve as the grandstand for a puppet show. Later in the evening there's a tent dance in the nearby armory. "A woman told me that this is great, because she really felt safe here. And parents turn their.kids loose and don't worry about them," Butcher said.•"In two years we haven't had a fight, and no drunks. We don't serve any alcohol here [although there are nearby bars]. I personally thought a beer garden would be a great idea, but I was outvoted on the committee." Parking is a minor problem. People -1 park on residential streets toward the lake, many blocks away. he n however, many parking p � of Hwy. 61. Z The Marketfest committee meets a weekly in the summer to solve the minor problems and find new ideas: . to keep the festival lively. "We're talking about a senior prom, for seniors," Butcher said. 1 ' By 9-30,0 le start to head home;, and the vendors pack up. Butcher, her husband and several others star, to pick up the litter and, by 10:30, You can't tell we've ever been here," she said. I Last year, Marketfest ran until the: end of August. "But so many people, complained that we quit e4rly, that -.4 this year we'll go one Thursday past 1 Labor Day and see if anyone comWt Butcher said.

The negotiations are proceeding well at this point and communication channels seem to be much more effective so that questions are being asked and answered in a' timely fashion. However, I do not think we will be ready with an answer from the homeowners whether or not they agree to a parking lot proposal in time to be published on the August 12 Planning Commission Actenda. I am requesting a lav -over to the Auguste—meeting. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter and let me know about the lay -over request.

Anderson, Chair Metropolitan Council Mears Park Centre 230 E. 5th Street St. Paul, MN 55101-1634 SUBJECT: HOUSEHOLDS/POPULATION/EMPLOYMENT FORECAST FOR PLYMOUTH Dear Ms. Anderson: Responsive to your letter and enclosures of June 16, 1992, (received July 22, 1992) we have reviewed your preliminary households/population/employment forecast for the City of Plymouth for the period through the year 2020. In our review of your submitted data we have considered the last previous Metropolitan Council forecast; our internally maintained forecasting models used for infrastructure planning; and, similar data that has been generated by the Metropolitan Council for neighboring communities and other cities in the same stage of development as Plymouth (notably Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, Minnetonka, and Eden Prairie). We find your projections to be generally consistent with those made previously by the Metropolitan Council, upon which our transportation and other infrastructure planning is now based, but slightly less than our local forecasting based on what we consider the appropriate sample of previous development rates. We are, however, surprised by the rather precipitous drop in the "persons per household" forecast for Plymouth --as well as virtually every other city. Plymouth has constructed all but a very small portion of the high density (apartment or townhome) areas of the community (consistent with our Land Use Guide Plan); and, Plymouth has historically resisted market driven changes on our Land Use Guide Plan. The type of residential development that is currently taking place in Plymouth --to the exclusion of most other types --is four bedroom (or more) large single family detached houses. For the overall persons per household to reduce from the 1990 ratio of 2.77 to the year 2010 ratio of 2.39 will require new household creation at a rate of 1.67 persons per household, or a substantial reduction in the persons per household over our existing dwelling units (on a combination of both factors). In either case the result will be a very dramatic reduction in efficiency in the utilization of housing resources. While there certainly will be fair number of "empty nesters" created during this time period since the largest cohort will be entering that life style during this period, it would seem that a large proportion of these new empty nesters would move to the housing unit types that would accommodate their new CIM 014% 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 550-5000 Page Two Ms. Mary Anderson life style, while families requiring the large homes that Plymouth is now building will continue to migrate to those housing'styles. Obviously the Metropolitan Council does not see it that way resulting in the drop in our persons per household for the next 20 years. Please advise us of any significant challenges to the forecasts of populations/households/employment by other local units of government within the Hennepin County portion of the Metropolitan area. Based on our knowledge of forecasts that are being used for other purposes by some of our neighboring communities, we would anticipate that challenges will be forthcoming.

Other materials included in this mailing are: • A summary of the forecast methodology used by the Council to develop regional forecasts and then to allocate these forecasts to subregions and municipalities. • The 1990 Census data for your community, which is the base for the Council's forecast process. • We are also enclosing a traffic analysis zone (TAZ) map for your community. The final step in the forecast process will be to ask your assistance in allocating local municipal forecasts to TAZs within your community. This process will not occur until third quarter 1992, however, we want you to have sufficient time to review the TAZ boundaries in your community. In the letter describing the Council's forecast process that I sent you early last fall, I explained that the allocation of the forecasts to local municipalities marks the third step in the regional forecast process. On November 14, 1991, the Council staff held a planners' forum to discuss the regional forecast totals for population, households and employment. On January 30, 1992, a second forum was held to discuss the subregional allocation of these forecasts to rings, sectors and planning areas. Many of you attended these sessions and participated in the discussions. As you are aware from these -forums and from the materials contained in this package, forecasts for the seven -county Metropolitan Area are trend based The base data for the forecasting are the 1990 Census results and employment data from the Minnesota Department of Jobs and Training. The forecasts take into account the relationship of the Twin Cities Area to growth trends in the United States, other major metropolitan areas, the multi -state region and the state of Minnesota. The regional forecasts are next stepped down to major subregional areas, namely policy areas and quadrants. These areas are used because they have much more stable trends than individual municipalities. Local municipalities within the seven -county region share allocations of these subregional forecasts. In allocating local forecast shares, the Council has taken into account local supply of developable land, availability of public services and the relationship of the community to existing urban development. Other aspects of the local allocation process are contained in the attached methodology paper. The Council has reserved a 60 -day period for local review and comment on the municipal forecast allocations. The process will operate in the following manner. 1. Forecast package mailed (June 16, 1992). ciM p,LIG 14'92 Key Contact Person June 16, 1992 Page 2 2. Within three weeks Council staff will send communities a reminder that the review period for the local forecast allocations ends on August 14, 1992. 3. Communities with questions should contact the proper Council staff; as indicated in the forecast materials, or call Bob Davis of our staff at 291-6317. 4. On August 14, 1992, the local review and comment period will end and the Council will mail to each community the 1990 census -based population, household and employment data for each Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) within the community. Each community will be sent the final municipal forecast allocation totals (1990-2020) resulting from this local review process. Each city will be requested to allocate the forecasts to the proper TAZs within their corporate boundary. Council staff will provide assistance and will review the zonal allocations for consistency with forecast totals. During the local allocation review period, we would like to hear from any community that has information about development projects that might significantly alter our forecasts. Often plans for development projects change (or even disappear) before actual construction occurs; these plans cannot simply be inserted into the forecasts until they are firm. In particular, we are interested in any new projects where construction funds (public or private) have actually been committed. Also, any new growth must be considered by the Council within the context of growth in the region. Staff will be looking for unanticipated shifts of employers, other land use factors, such as a committed housing development, or a change in sewer capacity or highway access. We are all aware that over time conditions and forecasts will change. However, local community growth trends are much more volatile than region -wide changes primarily due to their smaller size. As such, cities and townships should be wary about using short-term growth trends to make long- range forecasts. Such trends will not be used by the Council to modify forecasts, but will be monitored and subsequently considered in actual decisions that are made in formal plan reviews, or regional service investment proposals as part of our ongoing review process. The Council has established an Interim Forecast Process to deal with growth changes. Following our current forecasting work, this interim process will be updated for use in reviewing all local plan changes or projects relating to metropolitan system investments. If you desire a copy of the current Interim Forecast Process, please contact Bob Davis. Thank you for your participation in the forecast process to date. Our staff looks forward to working with you.

Frank Boyles, Acting City Mana \3\) SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL ADMINISTRATIVE MOTIONS At their August 3 meeting, the City Council adopted two administrative motions with respect to city attorney billing. The first motion dealt with city attorney billings in the future. The motion provides that each of the detailed bills identify by name (whether staff members or councilmembers), the individual requesting services. The bill would also show the cost associated with each discrete service. I believe the only change necessary to the current bills is to include councilmember names. Presently, any staff member making a request for service is identified in the detail. The second administrative motion had to do with city attorney bills between January 1 and August 3, 1992. Councilmember Tierney supplied excerpts from these bills with sections highlighted (attached). The administrative motion, as I understood it, was to request that staff or Councilmembers involved in telephone communications or meetings be identified if they are not already. For each highlighted section, the information sought and costs of the services should be included. I believe that I have correctly interpreted the Council's desires. If this information could be supplied within the next two weeks, we can get this matter completed.

Mr. Hoseth was the owner of 14 German Shepherds which he kept in a Plymouth Acclaim during the winter of 1990 - 91. In addition, Mr. Hoseth had a prior conviction on a similar charge from approximately 10 years earlier. On appeal he claimed that the statute under which he was convicted was unconsti- tutionally vague and his conviction should be overturned. The Court of Appeals disagreed, Barring a petition to the Supreme Court for review, which I regard as extremely unlikely, this completes my involvement with the cases which I retained after the City switched law firms.

Today I took my kids and some of their friends to the waue pool in Coon Rapids of Bunker Hills. What a great day we all had!!!!! But, as 1 was sitting there enjoying the pool , I thought how SRO that we haue nothing like this in Plymouth. The place was packed and it wasn't euen that great of a day weather wise. The community had to have made a great deal of money just today. I could tell that many people had driuen a ways to enjoy the pool and also brought friends and family from out of town to see and enjoy. Why?, I asked myself, do we haue nothing to offer other than lakes (Parkers,Medicine,Schmidt) that noone I know euen uses. What I see are only new municipal buildings to keep all of our city employees happy. New maintenance building, new city hall and police offices. New sidewalks around your beautiful buildings so all the employees can go for walks?????? 1 understand this is where our community $$$$$$$ went. Boy, can we as families euer enjoy these unnecessary projects. We have tried to go to Parkers Lake and use the swimming area. I wouldn't euen let my kids in the lake. Milfoil, other weeds and just not really clean conditions preuent us from using this lake. I know of so many cities that haue community centers and or outdoor pools. With the school system quickly falling apart and lack of interest in our community needs lead us to look into other areas as we start a new search for a moue up in homes. Edina, Richfield, Chaska, Eden Prairie, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids, Bloomington, Burnsuille,St. Louis Park are all areas that offer at least year round skating, and most also offer year round swimming or great pools for summer swimming. To get into another area completely Ice Rinks. We haue a hockey player in our family who would lone to have year round ice. I guess that is asking why to much from this city. Wheneuer we go to our bank I tell mg hockey player that the great new city center and maintenance building are the kids and communities community center. The youth are thrilled to hear that, as you can imagine. In closing, I just haue to restate, that we, as I know many others are, are looking at other cities who offer more for the family. What a pity. Chris Swanson VG .1 r 4 Q(� 14M
