(M-9) FOR YOUR INFORMATION.... 1. JOINT COMPARABLE WORTH STUDY -- Attached is a letter from Bill Joynes, Chairman of the M.A.M.A. General Labor Relations Committee, to Nina Rothchild, Director of the Employee Relations for the State of Minnesota. The letter advises the State that the results of the Joint comparable worth study for some 140 political subdivisions in the State will not be available until the first week of May. The attachments show other metropolitan cities, outstate cities, and regional libraries who are also participants in the study. The reason for this further postponement in the study deadline is problems which have occurred because of the magnitude and complexity of the study. Control Data Corporation Business Advisors have elected to postpone study results in order that these difficulties can be resolved prior to conclusion of the study rather than publish what would amount to inaccurate conclusions. While I am not pleased with this additional delay, I believe that it is a prudent step given the scrutiny which the study results will receive once completed. (I-1) 2. DISPUTE BETWEEN WEST MEDICINE LAKE COMMUNITY CLUB AND CERTAIN OF ITS RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORS -- On August 12, 1985 the City Council received a report with respect to concerns of neighbors living in the vicinity of the West Medicine Lake Community Club regarding Club activities. Following two meetings involving Dick Carlquist, Frank Boyles along with Mr. Pete Hill and Mr. Jerry Murphy, representing the Community Club, and Mr. Frank Cleave and Mr. day Nelson, residents living in the vicinity of the club, a list of concerns and potential solutions was developed. The Council approved the proposed solutions and agreed that in six months, or February 1986, that all parties to the agreement would be renotified to determine whether progress had been made in resolving the issues. Attached is a letter sent to Community Club and neighbor representatives by Frank Boyles in accordance with City Council direction. We have not received feedback from the Community Club or neighborhood represen- tatives, and therefore, assume that progress continues to be made at resolving the problems which were identified. No further action is planned. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM February 7, 1986 Page Three 3.

After consultation with representatives of Control Data Corporation Business Advisors, it appears that the completion of the study --far the_14-0-_v-arious__p_olitical subdivisions will occur in the first week of May this year. While we obviously are not pleased with having to postpone the final report, it is certainly preferable to providing you and our employees with inaccurate information. Our Joint Study efforts began immediately after passage of the Pay Equity Act by the 1984 Legislature. We continue our best efforts to meet the intent of the legislation. The task has been much more difficult and complex than the original time frame envisioned. I have attached, for your convenience, a list of those jurisdictions covered by our study. We apologize for the inconvenience and continue to appreciate thesupport of your office during this project. Sinc r r William S.

Anderson Dear City Council Members: Ernest E. Cutting, Pres I am writing to you on behalf of People, Incorporated, a Eunice A. Davis, M.D. non-profit human service organization. We have recently Linda P.Fobes purchased a 1 arge s ng1 a-fami I house at 18135 13th Avenue North in Plymouth. We have a contract with Diane E. Follmer, V. Pres. Hennepin County to develop a 6 -bed group home to serve Roxanne P. Forman adults who are hearing impaired and mentally ill. Prior to completing the purchase of the house, I did check Sandra S.Gardebring with Blair Tremier of your planning department to make Jerry L.Kleffman sure the property was properly zoned for this use and to Sidney R. Lange inquire as to any preferred procedure the City of Plymouth might have regarding group homes. Arlo D. Levi Neal E. Lloyd, Sec. At this time, I am writing as a courtesy to offer you information about our plans and to make myself available Uaniel8.Schutz to answer any questions you may have. We do not Frank A. Staffenson,--as anticipate opening the program until April. Between now and then we will be preparing the house for licensing Mary Ida Thomson inspections (i.e. installing fire alarm systems, Lloyd A.Troeltzsch painting, recarpeting, etc.). In the next two weeks I hope to personally contact each of the neighbors and James A.Vellenga introduce myself, People, Incorporated and explain the Nancy N. Weyerhaeuser program. When the staff are on board (sometime in March) I will have them introduce themselves to the immediate neighbors. Starting in April we will be admitting clients one at a time approximately every two weeks until we reach our capacity of 6 by July. This program will be the first of its kind in the State of Minnesota and possibly in the Nation. It is being developed because there have been few, if any, services provided to multiply handicapped deaf persons. The clients we will be serving have histories of serious be- havior problems which make it difficult for the few larger, less intensely supervised programs in the community to work with them. Our task is to assess the capability of each client for successful community living either independently or with less intensive support systems. We will be teaching many basic skills including language as we feel many of the clients behavior problems may have evolved out of frustration related to an inability to communicate basic needs and feelings and to understand those around them. Our staff will be fluent in sign language. supporting a higher quality of life for disabled children and adults through the provision of rehabilitative programs and services. Page 2 The program will always have 2 staff persons on, site 24 hours a day and clients will generally be accompanied by staff when they leave the facility. We selected a very large house with con- siderable land around it to assure ample space for clients to get exercise and work on a wide variety of skills. There should be little, if any, interaction between the clients and the immediate neighbors. The program will have a vehicle to provide clients transportation to medical appointments and to utilize other community services. We anticipate using local business for most of our rogram purchasing and will be contacting local business people bank, grocery, gas station, barbers, pharmacy, etc.) in March. If any of you would like any additional information or receive concerns from your constituents, I would be happy to speak per- sonally with individuals or small groups as to answer questions by phone. We hope very much to have good relations with our neighbors, the city and local business -es and would be apprecia- tive of any thoughts you may have as to how to better inform your community.

Willis, City Manager FROM: Fred Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Schedule for Elm Creek Maintenance The following is our proposed schedule for the maintenance work on Elm Creek from County Road 47 northerly approximately 1,000 feet as contained within the report prepared by Barr Engineering for the Elm Creek Watershed Commission. There is approximately 1 — lz feet of silt to clean from the existing channel. February 3rd through February 7th — Dick Pouliot will contact the two property owners to obtain a temporary right to trespass to gain access to the creek channel. We will also need to obtain an access route through their property to haul the dredged material away from the creek channel. The two property owners are Louis Buckendorf and Steve Krepis. February 3rd through February 7th — Jim Kolstad will contact Vernon Peterson and Begin Contracting to obtain a quotation to do the necessary dredging work. A drag line will be required to remove the silt and we are estimating it will require a maximum of 16 hours. February 18th through February 21st — Begin and complete dredging of channel. Material dredged will be hauled with City vehicles to Eagan Park immediately South of County Road 47. I have also talked with Jerry Butcher, Director of Public Works for the City of Maple Grove. They completed soil borings of the creek channel which confirms that there is approximately 1� feet of siltation as outlined in the Barr report. He stated they would hire a contractor and remove the silt during the month of February. I will follow up with Jerry Butcher each week to determine the status of the work within Maple Grove. I talked with Howard Hunt on January 29th and informed him of this schedule. During our discussion of the schedule he seemed satisfied with the progress that was being made. He also stated that if we had any problems obtaining the right to trespass from his two neighbors to let him know and he would see if he can be of any assistance. Since Howard will be leaving on vacation February 8th we will contact him by February 5th if we have had any problem with the two property owners. Fred G. Moore, P.E.

Rusten 18420 - 8th Avenue No. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mrs. Rusten: CITY OF PLYMOUTR Thank you for your January 20 letter. I am enclosing herewith your copy of the January -February 1986 Volunteer magazine. I, too, am a subscriber and have been for some years now. In your letter you suggest that the City should adopt an ordinance to protect wetlands. Let me provide you with some background information on this issue. The State legislature adopted the Levi -Merriam bill, which is now known as Minnesota Statutes Chapter 509. It is designed to remedy "non -point pollution" which occurs as a result of the storm water run-off of fecal matter, fertilizer and other pollutants in the storm water drainage system. The Levi -Merriam bill requires that water management organizations be created under the law and develop specific written plans to prevent such pollution to enhance water quality. The natural function of wetlands as a filtration system is an integral part of water management plans. Accordingly, they are designed to incorporate wetlands and ponding areas. As you may be aware, the City has adopted a storm water drainage plan to deal with the storm water drainage issue and related water quality matters. The area of Highway 101 and County Road 6 is included in this plan. Speci- fically, the storm water from the development will be filtered through three wetlands before it reaches Hadley Lake. The Minnehaha Watershed District must also review and approve the plan and they will require specific on-site improvements to reduce oils and floating debris from entering the storm sewer system. Moreover, the City Council has recently intensified its efforts in erosion control management during and after construction. I can assure you that the Council's desire is to eliminate, insofar as possible, erosion run-off into city lakes and streams. This does not guarantee however that the water will be potable. As part of the erosion control policy we require that developers sweep streets, erect siltation barriers and take other steps to respond to the unique needs of the area they are developing. I appreciate your interest in this matter and have shared your letters and my responses with other members of the City Council. Yours tru ly, . / Vi gil Schneider Mayor "�OUTH BOULE`/A.RD. ?_ e MO; TH M!NNESO T A 55447_ TELEPHONE (612) 1,5g -2P,00 January 30, 1986 Katherine J. Cram 2753 Upland Court Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Ms. Cram: i } i CITY C� PUMOUTR Thank you for your good wishes as I embark upon my term as Mayor of Plymouth. I will do my best to answer your concerns. As you may know, there are six issues of Plymouth on Parade published each year. The delivery dates do not always coincide favorably with all of the individual programs offered through our Park and Recreation Department. I have been assured that when this happens, every effort is made to include registration information in a brochure that allows at least two weeks for sign up after delivery. Some programs are included in two issues, one that is almost two months prior to the beginning date, with a reminder in the brochure that goes out on or around the first day of class. The post office has been cooperative in our efforts to get Plymouth on Parade delivered in a timely manner. However, as third class mail, on occasion there are delays. There has been a difference of up to two weeks in the at-home delivery date. For planning purposes, a week's delivery lag is assumed. The projected delivery dates for the remaining 1986 issues of Plymouth on Parade are as follows: March 7, May 1, July 3, September 5 and November 7. If you have not received your copy by those dates, please call the Plymouth Post Office to alert them and the Plymouth Park and Recreation Department at 559-2800 x 266. Your concern about the availability of creative learning courses is a somewhat sensitive issue. Plymouth is served by four school districts each with their own community education department. While it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between what is recreation and what is educational, every effort is made to avoid duplication of services. If you have specific requests for programs, please call the Park and Recreation Department and discuss the possibility of offering that particular class. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. If your requests are educational in nature, you may be referred to one of the community education departments serving Plymouth. I want to thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. Citizen input is needed in order to evaluate and improve our City services.

I'm sure you'll have many challenges ahead of you. Plymouth is a growing community, and managing that growth while still maintaining the quality of environment and living we now enjoy will be a task we citizens hope you achieve. I have one small suggestion, which has been a minor source of irrita- tion through the years. Plymouth on Parade is the best PR Plymouth h`as as a community. It's a visible service we relatively non- pol:,tical citizens see. Two problems: (1) It arrives too late to �tak_e advantage of many of the opportunities, and (2) There are few creative opportunities for normal adults (non -handicapped and `non -Senior). Regarding the first problem, the publication is printed around the 10th, and sent to the post office for bulk distribution. 'Ve receive it anywhere from the 12th through the 18th, depending on where se live. And, many of the lectures or physical fitness programs start on the first. Our postal service is poor, and difficult for you to control. However, you can control the print date. !"'hy not move it up to the 20th of the month before issue? Secondly, regarding the adult opportunities, the physical fitness Z programs are excellent. And, we appreciate our facilities beine made available for the programs. Can we expand the community education r to creative learning courses? This is more costly. But, even one or two a quarter %,.rill help. Rest of luck to you in your mayorship. And, Tease let us citizens know if we can help YOU in any way. .Sincerely, Katherine J. Cram Z 1Q t.

I am making copies of your letter which will tse circulated to all members of the Council. Your letter suggests to me that you may be eligible to apply for a deferment of your special assessments. I am enclosing a copy of the City Council's policy providing for deferment of special assessments on homesteads such as yours. I would appreciate your reviewing this policy and if you believe you are eligible for such a deferment, please contact Mr. Lloyd Ricker, the City's Finance Director. He would be pleased to work with you to determine whether or not you do, in fact, qualify for such deferment. The City Council is keenly aware of the concern expressed by you and your neighbors who were assessed for street improvements on Dunkirk Lane. The Council spent a great deal of time reviewing the proposed special assess- ments for street improvements prior to adopting the special assessment roll. You and many of your_ neighbors have taken the appropriate steps to appeal those assessments and we are confident that this process will deal with the matter in an equitable fashion. I can assure you that the community at large is sharing In the cost of the Dunkirk Lane street improvements. A substantial portion of the Dunkirk Lane. project was not assessed and will be paid for by all city taxpayers. Nonetheless, we recognize that the street assessments for those whose drive- ways access Dunkirk Lane are substantial, and we do not minimize that fact. I hope you will review the enclosed policy, Mrs. Clark and contact the City's Finance Director to determine whether or not it may provide you some relief. Yours truly, es G.

McCULLOUGH RANDALL T SKAAR CITY OF PLYMOUTH Attn: Blair Tremere, Director of Planning and Community Development 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mr. Tremere: 1900 FIRST BANK PLACE WEST MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55402-1893 (612) 33315It February 6, 1986 Re: Proposed Sale and Development of Outlots B and C of Plymouth *Parkview Addition This letter is sent to follow up our conversation of February 3, 1986, regarding the Heritage Highlands Homeowners Association's concerns regarding the proposed sale and development of Outlots B and C of Plymouth Parkview Addition. As I indicated to you, I am a director of the Association, and its legal counsel. On February 2, 1986, the directors of Heritage Highlands Homeowners Association unanimously resolved to monitor the proposed sale and development of Outlots B and C of Plymouth Parkview Addition. The Association believes that the proposed sale and development, as outlined in the Notice Solicitation of Proposals, published December 26, 1985, will have a substantial impact on our neighborhood. From our experience with Project 205 (County Road 61/Xenium Lane), we have learned that the most effective time to become involved in a development project is before plans are approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. While we will make our concerns known to the Planning Commission and City Council as development plans are submitted, we believe it would be appropriate for our concerns to be communicated to the City and prospective purchasers and developers from day one. By doing so, the purchasers and developers will know what our concerns are before substantial amounts of time and money are expended on development proposals. We would also request that the staff take our concerns into consideration when reviewing the proposed bids and making recommendations to the City Council. While the following list of concerns is not exhaustive, it does highlight our Association's primary concerns: 1. Compatibility with existing homes in the Heritage/ Highlands area. The density guidelines provided by the City in its published proposal, lead to the inescapable conclusion that multiple housing will be considered and _ITY OF PLYMOUTH Attn: Blair Tremere, Director of Planning and Community Development February 6, 1986 Page 2 allowed, at least in Outlot B (which is zoned L2). While such multiple housing may be permissible under the L2 zoning of the land, such housing may not be compatible with the existing neighborhood homes in the Heritage/Highlands area. Obviously the actual density planned, the location of the multiple housing, and the buffering and use of the existing geographical features of the land to minimize the affect of multiple housing, will have a bearing on the degree of incompatibility, and the degree of our opposition to a project. If single family housing is not planned for Outlot B, we would expect that multiple housing be of a high quality and of a values comparable with the single family homes in the area. We would also expect that the homes be located and buffered visibly from the existing homes in the Heritage/ Highlands area. The Association believes the Prudential Insurance Company would share in our concerns regarding the development of the two outlots, as it obviously has an interest in keeping the area compatible with their first class development of the Northwest Business Campus. The Association does not want another County Road 9 pattern of development along County Road 61, and we are certain that the City will appreciate our concerns. 2. Compatibility with the planned neighborhood park, as set forth in Park System Plan adopted by City Council on 2/22/82. We have already noticed that the published guidelines in the proposed sale indicate an 11 acre neighborhood park, down 4 acres from the 15 acre park originally planned for the area. This reduction in size of 4 acres, is a concern in and of itself. We are also very concerned with the affect any project, especially a multiple housing project, will have on the neighborhood park in location and usage. The Association would encourage any development to include a park of 15 acres and that the park be located and included as part of the buffer, or open space, between the existing homes and any future development. 3. Traffic patterns. If multiple housing is going in, the homeowners of the Heritage/Highlands area do not want additional traffic circulated through our neighborhood because of the development of such a project. While County Road 61 is a limited access highway, we would encourage a project that would have access on County Road 61 or on Xenium Lane on the south side of Outlot B. i Adplication Received by City on: Personal Information Committee(s)LCommission(s) Applied for: 1st Choice '/� �' <<S a ? <i F- h7 2nd Choice_, CITY OF PLYMOUTH l APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE Name: l..
