5. PERSONNEL CHANGES -- The Building Inspection Department is preparing
for an increased volume of permits and the construction season. As
was done last year, a seasonal plan checker has been hired effective
February 18, 1986. We are fortunate to have Mr. LeRoy Paulson, who
is formerly the Director of Building Inspections at the City of
Maple Grove from 1977 until his retirement in 1986, as our new plan
checker. In Maple Grove, LeRoy supervised the Building Department
staff of six persons. Prior to Maple Grove, LeRoy worked at
Plymouth as a Building Inspector. He is a Minnesota State Certified
Building Official and is well qualified to review our commercial,
industrial and residential plans.
Michael Kulczyk was hired on March 10, 1986 to fill the vacancy
created when Dave Krings, a previous Building Inspector left to
assume the position of Chief Building Official of Lakeville. In
addition to being a Journeyman carpenter for four years, Mike was an
Assistant Building Inspector at the City of Columbia Heights. At
Columbia Heights he was responsible for plan review of all commer-
cial and residential projects, heating and building inspections,
miscellaneous building related complaints, and completion of
associated correspondence and inspection reports. Mike has a
Bachelor's of Science degree in Management from the University of
Minnesota. Mike is single and resides in St. Paul. After hours,
his interests include fishing and softball. We are pleased to have
Mike as a member of our Building Inspection staff.

SUBJECT FIRE STATION NO. 3 SELECTION INTERVIEWS
This confirms that Fire Station No. 3 selection interviews have been
scheduled beginning at 3:00 p.m., Monday, March 24, 1986 in accordance
with City Council direction. Firms for interview include:
Trossen/Wright 3:00 p.m.
Boarman Architects 4:15 p.m.
Both interviews will take place in the City Council conference room.
I have advised each firm that they will have 20 to 30 minutes for
their presentation. The remaining 30 minutes will be reserved for
questions from the Consultant Selection Committee. Specifically, I
have asked each firm to address the following:
1. Their immediate past experience with fire station design.
2. Introduction and elaboration of personnel qualifications in fire
station design.
At the Mayor's request, I have included the following questions which
committee members may wish to ask each firm during the last half-hour
of the interview:
1. Based upon what you know about the Plymouth Fire Station No. 3
project, what unique problems do you believe we will face with
this project, and how would your firm deal with them?
2. If your firm is selected, what do you offer which is unique and
sets your firm apart from other firms interested in this
project?
3. Recognizing that funding for this project will require a bond
issue, what role will your firm play in this process? What is
your experience and role been in other fire station projects
Involving bond issues?

4. Tell me about the most difficult project that your firm had to
work with and how you overcame the obstacles associated with it.
5. What was the most extra effort your firm ever put forth in
handling a project?
6. Tell me about the most unusual or innovative idea your firm came
up with on a project.
I have advised each firm to assume that the Council has read and is
familiar with the report and that they should concentrate on providing
new information rather than rehash their proposals. I anticipate that
City representatives present at the interviews will- include Mayor
Schneider, Councilmembers Crain, Vasiliou, Zitur, City Manager Willis,
Public Works Director Moore, Fire Chief Robinson, Assistant City
Manager Boyles, and myself.

Dear Plymouth Resident:
SUBJECT: TOWN MEETING, APRIL 14
Because Plymouth is a developing community, there are many actions underway
or in the planning stage which could impact upon you. In order to maintain
open communication channels with residents of the community, the City
Council has scheduled a Town Meeting for Monday, April 14 for residents of
your area. In order to keep the meetings on an informal basis while dealing
with specific topics of interest to you, the Town Meeting will be for the
area shown on the map below including residents living south of 36th Avenue
North between the City's western boundary and Highway 101 including that
area lying south of County Road 6 and west of Dunkirk Lane (extended
southerly through Gleason Lake).
The Town Meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Plymouth City
Center. On the reverse side of this letter is a list of topics for
discussion at the Town Meeting. If you have other matters of interest we
will seek to address them also.
I encourage you to join Councilmembers Crain, Vasiliou, Sisk, Zitur and
myself at 7:30 p.m., Monday, April 14 at the Plymouth City Center. We are
anxious to meet you and look forward to this opportunity to meeting
informally to discuss matters of mutual interest. If you have any questions
about the Town Meeting, please feel free to call your City Clerk, Ms. Laurie
Houk at 559-2800, ext. 204.
Sincerely,
Virgil Schneider
Mayor

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairman Steigerwald introduced the request and an overview
of the March 3, 1986 staff report was provided by Coordina-
tor McConn.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the Department of Natur-
al Resources (DNR) review of County Road 61 and if there
were alternate routes; and, if the DNR had indicated a
route.
City Engineer Goldberg stated the the DNR rather than sug-
gesting any routes stated the City would need to show there
are no better alternatives in order for this route to be
approved. Coordinator McConn stated the DNR has suggested
the site provides an alternative alignment. In response to
Chairman Steigerwald, Coordinator McConn confirmed that
Hennepin County does not own right-of-way in this location.
Chairman Steigerwald stated the Commission would initially
discuss the Staged Growth Plan Amendment.

March 12, 1986
Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. Greg Frank, McCombs -
Knutson Associates, representing the applicant. Mr. Frank
gave a brief outline of the development proposal. He stated
their concept plan would preserve the unique topography,
woodlands, protected wetlands and provide public park.
He stated that regarding the Staged Growth Plan, 20 acres of
the 30 acres involved in this development can be served by
sanitary sewer. He noted the Engineer's Memorandum is in
error regarding the sewer depth, that it would be at 22 ft.,
rather than 32 ft. Mr. Frank commented on the sewer dis-
trict boundaries and that their graphic shows only 15 lots
would be outside the district boundary. It is their opinion
that the sewer service should be provided concurrently to
serve the land in the Post -1990 Urban Service Area. Mr.
Frank stated the sewer district line is a general line Just
like road alignments on the Thoroughfare Guide Plan. He
stated that to hold back service for these 10 acres would
create a hardship if it would be the basis for denial of the
entire project. He noted that the way this land lays sug-
gests the sewer design as proposed. He noted their proposal
for 41 single family lots is below the density standards.
City Engineer Goldberg stated the memorandum should be cor-
rected reflecting the 22 ft. depth for sewer line.
Commissioner Plufka inquired if the land is eliminated from
the Post -1990 Urban Service Area would this not require com-
pensatory property be excluded from development. City
Engineer Goldberg stated the Metro Council must approve any
plan amending the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Plufka
inquired if this concept plan would move the line to take
land from the unserviced area. City Engineer Goldberg
answered affirmatively.
Commissioner Stulberg inquired about the depth for the pro-
posed sewer. City Engineer Goldberg explained that the
depth required for sewer laterals becomes a factor if they
would be in the 30 to 40 ft. range which could be a problem;
a 22 ft. depth is less concern.
Commissioner Pauba inquired when the petitioner acquired
this property. Mr. Dickman Knutson stated the land was
acquired in October or November, 1985. Commissioner Pauba
inquired if they had been fully aware of the constraints of
developing this land. Mr. Knutson answered affirmatively.
Commissioner Plufka inquired if the easterly pond is part of
the protected wetland. Mr. Frank answered affirmatively and
stated there would be no filling in this area and the Ordin-
ary High Water Level will be determined by the DNR.

March 12, 1986
Commissioner Mellen inquired about required ponding and the
100 -Year High Water Elevation. Mr. Frank stated the
westerly pond is within the storm sewer system which
includes the 100 -Year High Water Elevation, but the easterly
pond is not. Commissioner Mellen inquired if it is feasible
to have sewer laterals outside the serviced areas. Mr.
Frank explained their proposal for sewer, water, and
streets.
Commissioner Stulberg questioned whether the Commission
should be addressing the redirection of sewer flow.
Chairman Steigerwald stated that as an advisory board to the
City Council, the concept plan as presented must be
considered.
Commissioner Plufka questioned the logic of draining this
property and that it makes sense not to duplicate pipelines
in the streets.
City Engineer Goldberg stated there is a difference of
opinion regarding the number of lots to be diverted one way
or the other. He noted the City's consultant's report
outlined in 18) b. of the Engineer's Memorandum, that the
number of lots to be diverted increase from 30 to 42 based
on the concept plan.
Chairman Steigerwald commented that the domino -effect of
making service available for land in the Post -1990 area is a
concern. Coordinator McConn concurred that with development
proposed for this area, the lots to the south could develop.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the consultant's
report. Coordinator McConn noted that all information
provided by the Consulting Engineers is based on the
Comprehensive Sewer Plan of the City.
Further discussion ensued regarding the boundary line of the
sanitary sewer district.
Chairman Steigerwald requested that Mr. Frank review the
Planned Unit Development Concept Plan. Mr. Frank stated
their request for waiver of the 40 acre requirement for a
PUD is based on the fact that their plan is in the public
interest; and, because of the unique features of this
property, a standard plat would not be feasible. They are
providing parkland to the City and are conserving the
slopes, woodlands, and wetlands. He stated the lot lines as
proposed preserve the unique features of the site and can
only be accomplished under the PUD provisions.
Page 41
Planning Commission Minutes
March 12, 1986
Commissioner Plufka inquired about the park dedication.
Mr. Frank noted that the City will derive 5.8 acres for
parkland. The City would lose the parkland if PUD Develop-
ment does not occur. Coordinator McConn explained the re-
quired dedication under the PUD provisions would equal
approximately 3 acres and anything over this is to be pur-
chased by the City. Mr. Frank concurred there would be
negotiation with the City on acquiring the additional
parkland.
Mr. Frank stated the plan does meet the PUD attributes. He
stated they would plat and sell the lots to individual
builders, and though it is difficult to demonstrate it at
this stage, it is their opinion that the builders will
introduce new technology such as energy efficient and solar
homes; that the plans have been prepared by trained profes-
sionals and the firm has a good record in the City of
Plymouth; that the layout will yield a high quality develop-
ment; and, that the residents will be able to walk to the
park system and reasonable use of public areas. He stated
that under standard platting procedures 35 lots could be
attained. They are proposing 41 lots with the PUD Plan.
Under standard platting procedures the City would not re-
ceive the right-of-way or parkland. A standard plat would
not preserve the trees and topography.
Commissioner Plufka inquired about the range of lots sizes.
Mr. Frank stated this is difficult to answer at this stage,
but 15,000 sq. ft. would be the average. Mr. Dickman
Knutson stated the lots around the pond would be 90 ft. in
width, ranging to 80 ft. in width. Mr. Frank stated the
smallest lots would be approximately 10,080 sq. ft.
Mr. Frank discussed the layout for Northwest Boulevard
(County Road 61), noting it could be moved further to the
east. However, it would reduce the number of lots and dim-
inish the value of the property. He stated that in deter-
mining their design, they used the 1982 report prepared by
the Traffic Consultants which was adopted by the City Coun-
cil and Hennepin County. He stated the alignment shown in
this report is from Maple Grove to Minnetonka and they had
to rely on this information for their project. He stated
that the road alignment is not a basis for denial; that the
sewer flows do not impact the City's Comprehensive Plan;
that thev have addressed and met the attributes for a PUD
Plan; and, requested that approval he given to the request
for the County Road 61 alignment.
Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing.

March 12, 1986
Ruth Rosendahl, 5205 Pineview Lane, stated the pond on the
property drains onto her land. She has noted filling being
done around the pond and explained it is the pond on the
east side of the property. Ms. Rosendahl stated she
attended a Town Meeting where they were told there would be
no development west of Pineview Lane until County Road 61 is
extended.
Mr. Bob Gomsrud, 5415 Pineview Lane, stated he is disap-
pointed that the City is not getting 10 acres for parkland
and understood that a certain amount of land was to be
deeded with this proposal. He stated he saw a plan in the
Director of Parks and Recreation office and wondered if this
is the same plan being discussed tonight. Coordinator
McConn confirmed this is the only proposal.
Chairman Steigerwald suggested that Mr. Gomsrud speak with
Coordinator McConn to ascertain which plans he reviewed at
the City Center.
Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Steigerwald suggested the Commission make their
recommendation on the Amendment to the Staged Growth Plan.
Commissioner Plufka stated he is somewhat confused because
of the difference in the lines shown on the graphics for the
sewer district boundary, in that the City's show a greater
portion of land outside the sewer district. He stated the
question would be easy if the sewer plan is as it appears to
be. Contemplation of the amount of land to drain into
existing facilities would set precedent, however, Mr.
Frank's drawing shows less impact and this is hard to
reconcile.
Commissioner Stulberg stated it is the Commission's charge
to consider the sewer plan as defined by the City and the
information given the City by the consulting engineers in
their report. Commissioner Pauba concurred, commenting that
the Commission's recommendation should be based on the Com-
prehensive Plan, the staff reports, and information from the
consultants.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the size of the public
park in this area and whether the City has approached Mr.
Knutson. Coordinator McConn stated no formal negotiations
have taken place.
Chairman Steigerwald commented that the timing for this
development is premature because of the time required for
decisions to be made by all appropriate agencies on the
alignment for County Road 61; and, that this development
does not meet the requirements for a Planned Unit
Development.
a__- Q�
Page 43

March 12, 1986
Commissioner Plufka concurred, addinq that it is his opinion
the developer cannot take credit for PUD status from the
parkland required to be purchased by the City; that while
attempts may be made by builders to provide new technology,
affirmative design, and innovative housing types, the devel-
oper cannot make this assumption; and, that the easterly
pond would not be an amenity for the internal project.
MOTION by Commissioner Pauba, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY
Plufka to recommend denial of the Planned Unit Development
Concept Plan and Amendment to the Staged Growth Element
based on those reasons cited in the March 3, 1986 staff
report.
MOTION to AMEND the main Motion by Chairman Steigerwald, MOTION TO AMEND
seconded by Commissioner Pauba to add the concerns expressed
by the Department of Natural Resources and City staff re-
garding the extension and alignment of County Road 61 in
this area of proposed development.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that the concerns expressed on
County Road 61 alignment would not apply as the proposal for
the Planned Unit Development is recommended for denial.

tions or comments. Mr. Borden answered he had none.
Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing, as there was
no one present to speak on this item, the Public Hearing was
closed.

Chairman Steigerwald introduced the request by Wayne and
Nancy Menge for a Conditional Use Permit for a radio anten-
na. Reading of the March 4, 1986 staff report was waived.
Coordinator McConn made one correction to Item No. 4 of the
Analysis portion of the staff report, that the tower would
be 28 ft. from the lot line and could fall to extend 5 ft.
beyond the side lot line, setback of 15 ft.
Mr. Menge stated the distance between the tower and the lot
line is greater than the report shows, he added that in the
19 years he has worked with these towers they seldom fall
from their base, but will fold over.
Chairman Steigerwald stated that if this tower would be
similar to a commercial structure, he has never seen a com-
mercial tower go over.
Commissioner Magnus inquired if Mr. Menge had spoken to his
neighbors about erecting the tower. Mr. Menge stated he has
talked informally with some neighbors and they have no
objection.
Commissioner Magnus inquired if Mr. Menge understood that if
there are problems with interference to neighbor's radios,
televisions, etc., that the complaints would be filed with
the City and could affect the Permit. Mr. Menge answered
affirmatively, noting that this would not generally be a
problem unless someone had old equipment that was not
properly filtered.
Commissioner Plufka inquired if Mr. Menge would be willing
to install filters for the neighbors if problems occurred.
Mr. Menge stated this was not his responsibility, but he
would point out the problem to anyone experiencing this type
of interference and advise them on how to correct it.
Commissioner Mellen wondered if the tower would be visible
to future homes when the agricultural land to the north and
west develops.
Commissioner Pauba inquired if there were any reason why the
tower is to be located on the northeast, and whether the
northwest area might not be a better location. Mr. Menge
stated this would be the back of his lot where the trees are
dense and a higher elevation would be required. He stated
that it is a directional type antenna and would need to be
above the trees. Mr. Menge noted that to relocate the tower
he would need to request an increase in the height of the
tower and the house location would also be a factor. He
stated that none of the neighbors have said there was a

problem and he felt if there were, they would be present
tonight. Commissioner Pauba noted that neighbors wanting to
maintain good relations may not want to say anything
negative.
Mr. Menge discussed the area to the lot line and the tower
foundation with Commissioner Stulberg. Coordinator McConn
responded negatively to Commissioner Stulberg's inquiry if
any of the neighbors had called the City regarding this
application.
MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Chairman MOTION TO APPROVE
Steigerwald to recommend approval for the Conditional Use
Permit for Wayne Mange, subject to the conditions as stated
in the March 4, 1986 staff report.

Commissioner Plufka inquired about the regulation of chemi-

Ms. Shepperd will provide a copy of her State license. Ms.
Shepperd commented that the State inspects the premises and
the license is also required for her insurance.
Commissioner Plufka inquired if she would be the only
operator and there would be no employees. Ms. Shepperd

OTHER BUSINESS
City Manager dames G. Willis discussed the Tax Increment
Finance District expansion with the Commission.
He reviewed the district boundaries and noted the upgrading
of the interchange at County Road 15 and I-494. The inter-
change for County Road 6 and I-494 is contemplated in the
current Capital Improvements Project (CIP). He explained
that highway access permits have been acquired. The problem
is who pays for it -- and this probably would be the City.
He noted there is not the option of assigning benefit beyond
the adjacent land, so the TIF 1 - 2 through 1 - 5 were
created to provide the funding mechanisms for the County
Road 6/I-494 interchange. A Public Hearing will be held at
the next City Council meeting to consider including
additional parcels in TIF 1 - 3.
TIF 1 - 3 includes four parcels with development proposals
for Red Owl/Welsh Construction; a distribution center by
Hance Distributing; and, the existing Scoville Press facil-
ity. He explained that taxes generated will flow into the
district to pay for the interchange at County Road 6 and
I-494.
Manager Willis explained this does not affect the fiscal
disparity, the money is captured for a period of time not
longer than 10 years, but can be up to 25 years for
redevelopment.
Commissioner Plufka inquired about Hennepin County and the
School Districts. Manager Willis stated the County has not
been concerned with the Plymouth project because the inter-
change/roadway development will also benefit them. He noted
the road improvements will spur development.
Manager Willis explained the background regarding the devel-
opment of the Northwest Business Campus and the ongoing
development of the Minneapolis property; and, that in both
cases the PCA cited concern of traffic generated at I-494
and Highway 55. The Indirect Source Permit for these
developments are conditioned on the County Road 6 inter-
change. Traffic studies for the area showed the need, and
the City is now developing the financing mechanism to com-
plete construction.
The estimated cost would be $8M for this project with debt
service on top. The TIF will generate sufficient increments
to pay for the project and the bonds could be retired by
1998.

March 12, 1986
Chairman Steigerwald inquired if there will be upgrading of
County Road 6 further to the west. Manaqer Willis stated
the CIP suggests County Road 6 be widened to Highway 101 and
if this is done first, it will push up the time frame for
road improvements.
Manager Willis stated that three of four corners for the
intersection right-of-way has been acquired and he noted the
homes and businesses involved.
Chairman Steigerwald asked the Commission to endorse the
plan. Manager Willis stated he would keep the Commission
appraised on all information regarding this matter.
MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Chairman NOTION TO APPROVE
Steigerwald to recommend approval and endorsement of the Tax
Increment Finance District expansion.
VOTE. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Steigerwatd announced that Commissioner Magnus
would be liaison to the Board of Zoning Adjustments and
Appeals; Commissioner Wire liaison for the Parks and Recrea-
tion Advisory Commission; and Commissioner Stulberg would

Commissioner Stulberg stated he would not be present for the

Dear Mr. Ricker:
February 27, 1986
The insurance company we intended apon using to quote the coverage for the
City of Plymouth, has put a temporary hold on new business unitl May 1st.
They have been writtinP approximately $30,000,000 of new business a month,
and can not keep up with the work load. I would then suggest that the League
of Minnesota Cities would have the best program for your City's insurance
when it comes up for renewal, April 1st.
I would however like to work on your coverage next year.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call.
Yours truly,
David W. Seppe t

I have contacted the City a few times to try and quote their
insurance and have gotten a very negative attitude from
anybody I have ever talked to. Your City's insurance will
most likely double or triple if you don't do something with
it.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

I contacted you a few years ago and asked to quote the insurance
for the City of Plymouth. You, or someone in your office, then
indicated you were happy with your present agent and did not care
to get competitive quotes.
In the last year the insurance markets for all types of municipalities
has changed drastically. It is our understanding Home Insurance
is in the process of withdrawing from all types of insurance on
public entities. They have non -renewed all counties and have
increased the rates drastically on all cities they presently have.
There are now essentially two competitive markets - they are the Leag
of Minnesota Cities and a company we have an exclusive with for City
and County business for the State of Minnesota.
We can offer a competitive insurance program for all types of
governmental entities. We presently write the State of Minnesota
Fleet, the Cities of Columbia Heights, Spring Lake Park, Fridley,
Mounds View, Eagan and Bloomington to name a few in the metro area.
We also insure 10 different counties throughout the State.
It is our understanding the City of Plymouth's insurance does expire
on January lst. If you or someone in your office would work with us
we can give you a competitive quote on it.
Yours ver truly,
David W. Seppe t Of'/

Mayor Schneider has forwarded your resident feedback form from the March 10
Town Meeting to me for review and comment.
At the time the Shiloh Park was developed an extensive program of local resi-
dent input was responsible for the design of the park. Specifically, such
things as ballfields, shelter, etc., were not desired by the residents at
the time the park was constructed.
If you would like to see such items included in the park in the future, the
proper procedure would be for you to circulate a petition requesting the
City to consider these improvements. The petition should be presented to
either the Mayor or me for further action.
The water problem associated with the play equipment has been in existence
since the installation of the play equipment. The best solution would be
the total removal of the play equipment and relocation within the park on
high ground. There are no plans at this time to proceed with such an improve-
ment. We will continue to explore other ways by which we can alleviate this
water problem and make Lite playground more useable by area children.
Thank you for submitting your resident feedback form. We appreciate your
time and interest in Shiloh Park. If you would like to discuss this issue
with me further, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 559-2800 x 265.
Sincerely,

Dear Frank:

Senate

Thank you for your letter concerning the issue of transit funding.
I'm quite familiar with Plymouth Metrolink and the outstanding,
cost-effective service provided Plymouth area residents.
As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, and its Subcommittee
on Transportation, I have consistently supported this type of
innovative and cost-effective system which utilizes private carriers
such as Medicine Lake Lines. Both Mary and Jim Johnson can attest
to my support as they've appeared before our subcommittee.
Thank you again for your input on this important policy issue. I
appreciate hearing from you.
Si cerely,
JI RAMSTAD

SUBJECT: Transit Funding Legislation
Dear Jim:
During this session of the Legislature, I know that you will be dealing with
transit funding issues. Since Plymouth has taken the initiative to develop
its own transit program, I want to share our perspective on the transit
funding issue.
Plymouth Metrolink is funded exclusively through property tax dollars paid
by residents and businesses in the community. From our perspective, the
legislature should resist any attempts to limit the ability of a munici-
pality to directly utilize all or a portion of its property tax contribution
to the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District for its own transit program
purposes.
Plymouth is also served by Medicine Lake Lines. Medicine Lake Lines, as the
MTC, is supported both through property tax dollars and state income tax
dollars. Obviously any cut in state or federal funding will impact greatly
upon Medicine Lake Lines' ability to adequately serve .Pllwmth. I recognize
that both the state and federal government have pressing reasons for limit-
ing their funding. I would hope, however, that the state legislature will
use this opportunity to develop a funding program for transit operators
which encourages experimental non-traditional transit demonstrations over
traditional transit programs which have proven incapable of supporting them-
selves except in the central business district. You have an unique oppor-
tunity before you to develop a transit funding system which promotes innova-
tion and cost effectiveness in transit delivery in place of the existing
"cash give-away program" which does little, if anything, to promote effec-
tiveness and innovation in transit affairs. I hope that the legislature
will work with the appropriate agencies to this end.
Yours ve t y,
Frank Boyles
Assistant City Manager

Dear Chief Carlquist:
(612) 348-3091
We would like to take this opportunity to express the
appreciation of the Hennepin County Attorney's Office
for the outstanding efforts of your police department
in the investigation and conviction of Raymond Iten
for Criminal Vehicular Operation in the death of Marna
Quarnstrom.
Particular note should be made of the work of Sergeant
Larry Rogers. Simply put, his investigation was superb.
He clearly investigated this case in a superior manner.
He not only obtained all the evidence possible to get
a conviction in a very difficult prosecution, but he
also anticipated the defense and obtained the evidence
to rebut it. Sergeant Rogers was extremely cooperative
after the indictment and continued to compile evidence
needed to convict Iten. Finally, when Sergeant Rogers
testified he appeared as a sincere, competent professional.
Again we would like to thank you for the excellent work
performed in this matter by all the members of your
department that assisted in this prosecution.
