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.

RE: Meeting Date
A meeting has been scheduled with our legislators for Saturday, February 15, at
8:00 AM in the Brooklyn Park Community Center located at 5600 - 85th Ave. North.
Several of our communities have done this in the past and we are expanding it to
include neighboring cities.
We have selected four topics and have asked four legislators to give a five
minute introduction on each. tie will then open it for comments and discussion
from other legislators and City officials. Time will also he available for
other issues to be brought up for discussion. The four issues we have selected
and the legislators making introductory remarks are:
Fiscal Disparities - Representative William Schreiber
Tax Increment Financing - Representative Linda Scheid
Budget Cuts - Senator Jim Ramstad
Highway Funding - Senator William Luther
We have called and se7t a letter to each of the legislators in all of our
districts. We hope rthey will all be able to attend. It might he helpful during
the budget cuts discussion for each city to have available the specific impacts
of both federal and state actions.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, February 15 at 8:00 AM in the
Brooklyn Park Community Center.

Dear Commissioner Rothchild:
I am writing to inform you of a further delay in our ability to report
the results of our Comparable Worth project. 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.

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.
Sincerely yours,
Rachel L. Feldman

MEMO
DATE: February 3, 1986
TO: James G. 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.

Opinion Questions
What do you believe you could contribute to the community if appointed to a City
commission or committee? Why?
I am certainly willing to contribute my time and whatever knowledge I
have gained in both educational pursuits as well as professionally. M_:
reasons for making this application is to play a role i4► assuring full
utilization of Plymouth's resources to maximize their benefit to the
citizens of Plymouth. It is the intent of my family to make Plymouth
our home and therefo e the,co tribu io I make ld be consistent with most
anyones desire to mace their dome the test possi� a place.
How do you believe you would benefit if appointed to a committee or commission?
Benefits would be derived from gaining a better knowledge of how my
community operates and also feeling in some way I am contributing to the
community.
As a commission or committee member, what issue(s) might cause conflict between
civic responsibility and personal/professional interests?
I am presently involved in making real estate loans to developers and
uotentially I could be involved in making a loan in Plymouth. However,
this possibility is remote at best because approximately 95% of the business
I am involved in is outside the 9th federal reserve district.

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,
. /

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.
Sincerely,
Virg 1 Schneider

Dear Mayor Schneider:
2753 Upland Court
Plymouth, MN 55447
January 23, 1986
Welcome as Plymouth's new mayor! 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.

Dear Mrs. Clark:
CITY OF
PLYMOUTR
We have received your letter addressed to Mayor Schneider and the City
Council regarding your concerns with respect to the Dunkirk Lane special
assessments. 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.

FRENCH REGIONAL PARK KDVIS70RY COUNCIL
Purpose Statement
The Board of Commissioners and staff of the Suburban Hennepin
Regional Park District believe that the input of citizens is
critical if it is to provide high quality park and recreation
services to its constituents. In order to seek that citizen
input, the French Regional Park Advisory Council is to be
created. It shall be the purpose of the Council to review and
commment on the development plans and operational practices
primarily at French Regional Park and to a lesser extent on such
plans and practices throughout the Park District, The results of
the Council's deliberations shall be advisory only but shall
receive due consideration by the Hennepin Parks' Board and staff
in the course of making policy and administrative decisions.
Examples of Matters to be Presented to the Council:
- Development Initiatives (at both the concept and
construction plan stage
- Proposed programs
- Operational and maintenance procedures
Membership
Advisory Council members shall be representative of the diverse
groups which utilize or have interest in French Park. These
groups ihnclude, but are not limited to, adjacent homeowner's
associations, area park and recreation commissions, user groups,
etc. As input rather than consensus is the primary objective, the
broader the participation in the Advisory Council, the more
productive it is likely to be. To encourage frequent use by
Council members, each shall receive a complimentary annual parking
sticker.
Meeting Schedule
The Council shall hold two (2) regular meetings per year, one in
March and one in September. In addition, special meetings may be
called from time to time to deal with significant issues relating
to the Council's purpose.

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

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

Our Association invites and encourages the City staff and prospective purchasers
and developers to visit our neighborhood and Association prior to the commitment
of time and money to a development plan. We believe that the developers of
Heritage Estates, Medicine Lake Highlands and Heritage West have done a
commendable job in developing the area, with minimum disturbance. We would
expect and anticipate that the City of Plymouth will require the some of any
purchaser and developer of the lots.
Please feel free to call me, or Merrilee Riley, President of the Association, if
you have any questions or comments regarding our concerns. I would also ask
that the City furnish to me all information which affects our Association and/or
neighborhood.
Thank you for your cooperation and interest in our Association's concerns.
Very truly yours,
