Councilmember Helliwell stated she could not support state aid Designation of

to be built and this designation makes reference to the future Itam 4-J
construction.

Councilmember Zitur stated
to acconnodate the continuing
that Sc'imidt Lake
development in the
Roed -s needed
area.
Director Moore stated the City is now five miles below its
permitted state aid mileage designation, Toe designation of
Holly Lane would add approximatt,ly three oni 1 ?s to the system.
The City currently gets about $1 million per year --half is
population based and half is based on demonstrated need.
Designation of a street does not guarantee that it will be
built, and the state aid designation can be removed at any
time. Schmidt Lake Road is on the state aid system and that is
why Holly Lane is recommended.
Councilmember 4elliwell asked when Holly Line construction is
anticipated under the Capital Improve+ient Program,
Director Moore said Hol v Lane is indicated as Dunkirk Lane
construction in the proposed Capital Improvemea t Program for
1993 construction; however, the Council has been requested by a
developer to move this project ahead.
Councilmember Vasiliou verified that because the City designates
a street for the state aid system, does not necessarily mean the
funds must be used for that specific street or are lost.
isO'rector Moore stated that waq correct. In order to get the
funds, the City must award a contract 'itr construction of a
municipal state aid road. He gave the example of Fernbrook Lane
north of County Road y. Two years of state aid funds were used
for this project.

OF TWO SWORN POSITIONS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT,
Mayor Bergman asked if additional officers would be needed in
1991 if the D.A.R.E. Program is expanded.
Public Safety Director Carlquist stated two more officers would
likely be needed if D.A.R.E. services were extended to the five
additional elementary schools in Plymouth (includes Sunny
Hollow).
Mayor Bergman asked what efforts are anticipated to address the
drug problem.
Director Carlquist stated currently Hennepin County, State of
Minnesota, or Drug Enforcement Agency is called for assistance
in large narcotics investigations. He stated he supports
problem orierlted policing (POP) and proactive efforts to address
the drug problem in Plymouth. The department is already using
proactive policing through the D.A.R.E. Program, Domestic Abuse
Program, Youth Service Officer, and Community Relations Officer.
Councilmember Zitur stated that a city-wide task force is needed
to bat le the war on drugs in Plymouth.
Councilmember Vasiliou asked if more emphasis should be placed
on the users, as recommended by Senator McGowan,

Manager Willis presented a report on Minnesota State lottery
issues. He asked if the Council desires to consider any action
to regulate lott:ry retailers through the zoning ordinance, or
whether the City Attorney should seek an attorney general's
opinion regarding a possible inconsistent between the state
statute and city code prohibiting gambling in liquor
establishments.
Attorney Thomson stated the statute is clear that cities cannot
license 1 ottery retailers; however, cities have broad discretion
in regulating liquor establishments and may be able to restrict
lottery sales in liquor establishments.
Councilmember Ricker asked if anyone had contacted the League of
Minnesota Cities (LMC) for direction.
Attorney Thomson stated he had, and the LMC attorney agreed it
is unclear to what extent a city can regulate the lottery.

Councilmember Vasiliou stated there are several private streets
in the City that are mai ntai ned, repaired. and replaced at the
expense of the affected homeowners. Staff has prepared a report
on the number and location of private streets. Counc i I member
Vasiliou stated that for the property taxes residents pay, they
should receive like benefits, and the City should find a way to
take over the costs for these private streets.
Councilmember Ricker agreed that similar services should be
provided to all residents, but stated concern that all private
streets are not built to City standards. The City's cost to
maintain these private streets could be greater than the public
streets. He suggested the issue be referred to the Special
Assessment Committee for consideration.
Councilmember Zitur stated he would also like the Special
Assessment Committee to reevaluate the 70`5-City/30%-Rest dent
street reconstruction cost split. He stated that even paying
only 30% of the costs, some residents do not want their street
reconstructed. He suggested a petition process, similar to the
current street lighting process.
Councilmember Ricker stated that the safety of all residents
needs to be considered. In some cases, residents may not want
reconstruction, but it is needed for safety. He stated the City
should require future private streets to be constructed to City
standards if the City is going to assume maintenance/replacement
responsibilities.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated this policy should then be shared
with the Development Council.
The issues discussed by the Council relating to private streets
was referred to the Special Assessment Committee for
consideration.
Manager Willis reported that new information has been provided
by the Fire Department that the City's self-contained breathing
equipment may not be safe to protect the fire fighters. The
estimated cost for new equipment is $195,000. Manager Willis
recommended that purchase of the equipment be authorized, with
118,000 from the general fund surplus and $17,300 from the 1990
Fire Department Capital Outlay Budget,
Manager Willis stated the Fire Department Truck Committee has
also concluded that the department needs two "Tele -squirts."
These trucks are quoted at approximately $265,000 each. The
Equipment Center Budget includes the replacement of the existing
pumper truck at $175,000. Therefore, if the decision is made to
proceed with the purchase of a "Tele -squirt", an additional

90,000 will be required. This budgetary shortfall could be
covered with additional appropriation of 590,000 in the 1991
General Fund Budget. If the Council elects to proceed, he
recommended that only one "Tele -squirt" be purclased at this
time and that the balance of the estimated costs be appropriated
in the 1991 Capital Budget of the Fire Department. Because of
the manufacturing lead time required, there would be no
difficulty with providing the additional funding in 1991.
Manager Willis stated the second "Tele -squirt" would replace
Pumper No. 8, a 1970 Mack tr,,ck. He recommended that the
Council not proceed with the second "Tele -squirt" purchase
because the Public Works Superintendent advises that the truck
has a number of years of useful 1i;e left.
Councilmember Ricker asked why this equirinent was rot included
in the regular budget process. He stated that a City cannot be
fiscally responsible if 4t cannot maintain the integ-ity of the
budget cycle.
Councilmember Vasilicu agreed that the integrity of the budget
process must be maintained; howeveM, stated she would consider
the requests because tney were public. safety related. She
suggested that the Council could authorize the breathing
equipment and one "Tele -squirt" now and consider the second
Tele -squirt" in the 1991 budget process.
Councilmember Ricker stated he is not opposed to these items.
It is the timing of the requests and the affects on the budget
process he is concerned with.
Mayor Bergman commended the fir% fighters for the amount of time
and effort the; had put into their recommendation. He stated
that the "Tele -squirt" unit would by ideal for Plymouth because
it is accessible and useful in 2-3 story fires. Mayer 9eroman
stated that the equipment proposed for replacement, should hive
been replaced some time ago. if the purchase of fire trucks is
going to be moved back .mother year, an inflation factor neeLls
to he included in the cost estimate.
Representatives of the Fire Department Truck Committee described
the "Tele -squirt" trucks. They stated that about every six
months there is an automatic price increase in fire equipment,
and that the City could save money by purchasing two trucks
rather than only one at this time.
Fire Chief Robinson stated that operationally the "Tele -Squirt"
offers advantages for fighting almost any type of fire. He
noted other coimiunities that currently have the equipment.
Chief Robinson stated the cost of the units could be taken from
O ree years' budgets, due to the extended delivery time.

Councilmember Ricker questioned whether the breathing equipment
was an "emergency". He asked why Public Safety personnel had
not requested replacement of the defective equipment previously,
noting that other communities are involved i n self-contained
breathing equipment replacement programs. Other communities
apparently knew about the problem, why didn't Plymouth?
Brad Johnson, Assistant Fire Chief, stated that the Fire
Department had to budget to have the testing done and then get
the equipment for the testing.
Director Carlquist confirmed that the testing equipment was not
available until December, 1989, well after the budget was
approved,
Mayor Bergman stated two "Tele -squirts" are needed to serve all
areas of the City equally. He stated the Fire Department made
the request for two units some time ago, and the Council should
have been made aware of it.
Councilm ober Helliwell stated if the Council is inclined to
approve two "Tele -squirts", it should be done now to take
advantage of any cost savings by purclasing two units.
MOTION was made by Counc,lneinoer Zitur, seconded by
Councilmember Ricker, to authorize purchase of self-contained
breathing equi pinent in accordance with the Manager's
recommendation, and one "Tele-squ,rt", with $1759000
appropriated from 1990 Equipment Center Replacement and $90,000
