A number of observations are in order:
1. Internal circulator ridership in March averaged 64 passengers
per day, which is considerably above the 56 passenger per day
average established in March 1985. Increased ridership during
the period March 24 through March 31 can be attributed to
student usage during the spring break vacation.
2. The commuter/ reverse commuter portion of the service averaged
338 persons per day in March, which is above the 311 averaqe
posted in March 1985.
3. In terms of our system -wide ridership target of 393 passengers
per day, we are exceeding our goal by three at 396 passengers
per day.
2. ADDITIONAL POLLING PLACES -- The polling place for newly created
precinct 15 will be the Laestadian Church, 13030 47th Ave. The
Epiphany Church declined our request to use their facility, so the
polling place for precinct 16 will be Zachary Lane Elementary
School, 4350 Zachary Lane. The newspapers will be informed of the
polling locations and a notice has been put on cable channel 7.
Notification letters to residents will be sent out August 1.

Bob Burger called the meeting to order at 7:35 a.m.
I. City Staff Report on Fast Track Plan Review and Permit Issuance Process for
Ingle Family Dwelling Permits
II.
Blair Tremere summarized the fast track plan review and permit issuance
process for single family dwelling permits. A major step in expediting the
process is identifying specifically the City's needs, including type of
documents as well as the information to be included in each document. In
1986 the City will again hire a temporary plan review person who's sole
responsibility will be to complete plan reviews. As a final step, priority
review will be given to those applications which are complete and in order
from a code perspective. Incomplete applications or petitions not in
compliance with the building code will require greater processing time. The
fast track process is a mutual effort by the builders and City.
Review of Automated Permit System for Non -Plan Review Items such as reroof-
reslaina. Diumbina, mecnan
Blair Tremere stated that "bugs" had been worked out of the automatic permit
issuance system making it responsive to requests for non -plan review
permits. Instead of requiring a 24 hour wait, these nPrmitc may he received
"while you wait" between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. each day. Surprisingly, very
few contractors have taken advantage of this service. The City has initiat-
ed an invoicing procedure for those permits which do not require plan
review. So long as the invoices are paid promptly, the contractor may
continue to take advantage of invoicing. The contractor agrees to not
commence work prior to permit issuance and to request inspections in a
timely manner.
III. Sewer Capacity Issue
Fred Moore stated that the City has been attempting to convince the Metro-
politan Council that their growth projections need correction and that
Plymouth will exceed them based upon development projections. There is also
some question on which sewer interceptors will be constructed, including Elm
Creek and Pike Lake. As part of the capital improvement program, three
trunk lines are proposed for extension over the next five years to increase
developable area within the MUSA lines.
Bob Burger asked about the Pike Lake interceptor. Fred stated that three
alignments are being reviewed by Tennant Company. The City's consulting
IV.
PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
January 29, 1986
Page 2
engineer has identified the associated costs of each alignment and the City
has selected the one it desires. A meeting is scheduled for January 30 with
Tennant representatives to discuss this alignment, associated costs and
easements necessary for construction to take place.
The construction timing of the Pike Lake interceptor will be based upon the
results of this meeting. It does not appear at this time that Tennant will
be proceeding to develop their property in the near furture, but they have
indicated they would not obstruct efforts to bring the sewer line across the
property, assuming reasonable easement payments were provided. Council -
member Vasiliou stated that she had received a letter from the Peterson's
wanting to know when Tennant Company would be moving. Fred stated that the
meeting should provide a better idea of Tennant's plans, however, they have
no deadline in this matter. To establish a deadline would most likely
require that the City condemn construction easements.
1986 Improvements for County Road 9 and County Road 10
Fred Moore stated that Hennepin County moved the development of County Road
10 up to 1987 on their construction schedule. A consulting engineer will be
designing this project for the County.
County Road 9 is in the final design stage with Hennepin County scheduled to
complete plans this spring, and bid letting and the first phase of construc-
tion completed in 1986. Full construction will be completed in 1987. The
typical highway section will be four -lane divided with curbing and median.
The intersections will have left and right turn lanes with signals.
V. Other Business
Joe Ryan stated that the activity level for the Building Division in 1985
was substantial and distributed a year end report. Total building permits
were 1,304 against 1,288 for 1984. Residential permits in 1985 were 633 as
compared to 589 in 1984. A total of 16 multi family permits representing
259 units, were issued in 1985 versus 19 permits for 406 units in 1984.
Remodeling permits in 1985 at 486 were somewhat less than the 499 issued in
1984. More significant increases were experienced in other permits includ-
ing plumbing, mechanical, and septic installation and removal. There were
1,013 plumbing permits in 1985 against 1,070 in 1984. A total of 1,040
mechanical permits were secured in 1985 compared with 1,020 in 1984. Septic
permits amounted to 111 over none for 1984. A total of 451 certificates of
occupancy were issued in 1985 against 386 in 1984. If interest rates remain
stable, it is likely that 1986 will also be a good development year.
Blair Tremere stated that to reduce conflicts during the course of construc-
tion, the Building Inspection Division has established pre -construction
meetings to enhance communications between contractors and the Building Div-
ision. Experience to date suggests that pre -construction meetings have
reduced delays in the construction process.
PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL _
January 29, 1986
Page 3
Sara McConn reported that 1985 planning applications, amounted to total of
341 in 1985 versus 338 in 1984. This includes 28 conventional preliminary
plats, 47 conventional final plats, 10 preliminary PUD's, and 18 final plan
PUD's. She stated there have been many inquires for anticipated Spring and
Summer construction.
Bob Burger reported that he was pleased with the progress Blair, Sara, Joe
and other members of the Planning and Building Inspection Department have
made in solving problems which contractors had identified in permit issuance
and plan review. He is pleased with the hard work and tenaciousness which
the department has displayed in alleviating these problems.
Marlin Grant asked what the deadline was for developers to request the City
to construct public improvements within their developments. Fred stated
that if the project is 100% developer paid, the deadline is May 1. If any
special assessment procedure is involved, the deadline was October 1, 1985.
Don Myron asked when the interceptor at Highway 55 would open up land west
to the City's western border. Fred Moore stated that the existing inter-
ceptor is to Highway 55 and Vicksburg at this point. During the 1986-1990
CIP it is proposed to be extended to Highway 101 to serve the triangular
segment between County Road 24, Highway 55 and Brockton Lane. This is
projected for 1990. The CUSA line does not currently include this area, but
the City will be petitioning the Metropolitan Council to include this in the
development area.
Jim Willis stated that the City Council at their January 27 meeting
discussed enhancing its efforts to notify the public with respect to devel-
opment petitions. The Council is considering the desirability of putting up
a 4' x 8' sign saying to the effect that, "THIS LAND IS SUBJECT TO
DEVELOPMENT PETITION. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CALL..." Such a change in
policy would actively involve developers. The Council has not determined
what criteria would be used - whether it would be limited exclusively to
public hearing related items or be more expansive. The Council is looking
for input from the Development Council specifically regarding the type of
criteria which should be used and the issue of cost and expense.
Blair Tremere reported that in Minnetonka, signs are required only for sub-
divisions and zoning issues. The signs are posted by the city's street
department based upon a work order at least ten days prior to the petition
being heard. This practice requires an inventory of at least one dozen of
each sign type, together with a number of special purpose signs. They have
found that the bulk of calls received were from realtors and not residents.
They have also learned that the practice does not absolve them from resident
complaints that they were unaware of the petition.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that the use of signage would not be a
substitute for current procedures for mailed notification, cable televising
of council agendas and mailing of agendas to homeowner association
presidents. She stated that the problem in the past has been that neighbor-
hood groups close to projects, but not so close as to receive public hearing
notification, have felt surprised when issues affecting their neighborhood
PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
January 29, 1986
Page 4
have arisen. The installation of signage is intended to reach people circu-
lating in the area.
Marlin Grant expressed concern about the additional telephone calls such
signage would entail. It is likely to tie up the existing limited number of
staff persons and there would be question on whether additional personnel
would be required. The signage may also provoke overly concerned citizens
Including those not living in the immediate or general vicinity of the
property. He can't see the positive side of the proposal. He believes that
"word of mouth" is by far the most effective means of communicating issues
of local concern. "I don't know" is simply not an acceptable excuse.
Rick Murray stated that the installation of signage would disrupt his devel-
opment procedures. Their normal practice is to conduct neighborhood
meetings once they have put a package together. The installation of signs
would get neighbors involved before he would be prepared to deal with
specific questions and issues.
Don Myron said he appreciated the City's continued sensitivity to the
public, but he believes the installation of signs becomes a big expense
which may not significantly help anyone. He believes there are not a
sufficient number of countervailing pluses to outweigh the minuses of such a
program. He believes that the City has sufficient steps to advertise
developments using current practices.
Bob Burger stated that the development process is complex enough now without
adding yet another element which will incrementally increase developer
costs. He is also concerned about the impact which telephone calls will
have upon City staff as well as developers.
Dale Kennedy believes that the signs are fine for issues of where a public
hearing is required, but not for site plans.
Rick Murray expressed concern that sign requirements not be discriminatory
with respect to one set of developers over another.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that the Council does have the option of
placing the responsibility for notification more on the individual and
Homeowner Association than on the City. She believes the City should work
with the Homeowner Associations to help them remain aware.
Jim Willis commented that development issues will continue to be paramount
in Plymouth as development occurs in small undeveloped "pockets". These
infull developments create greater sensitivity since neighbors are affected
by the development and because the land which is left for development, in
many cases, is marginal. He stated he would convey the Development
Council's comments to the City Council for their consideration on this
matter.
The meeting adjourned at 8:58 a.m.

1986
League of Minnesota Cities
Annual conference
LMC Annual Conference
Those eager to take "Positive Steps
for Cities" will want to participate in
the !986 LMC Aiuivai Cori ereace in
Duluth, June 17-20, 1986. The Duluth
Arena -Auditorium will be the headquar-
ters for the event.
The League has invited a roster of
distinguished speakers including U.S.
Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (Tennessee)
who'll speak on "Foresight in Govern-
ment" and Wes Jackson, Director of
the Land Institute, whose topic will be
"The Farm Crisis: New Roots for
Agriculture." Also on the agenda is a
special Tuesday evening kick-off pro-
gram for personal and professional
development.
This year's conference features sev-
eral format changes from previous
years. "Skill sessions" and "Issue
institutes" will take place throughout
the three and one-half days of the
conference. Skill sessions are partici-
patory workshops which enable city
officials to enhance specific leadership
abilities and learn techniques which
they can apply back home in their
community. Examples include:
• The Policy Role of the Council,
• Strengthening Your Leadership
Team,
• Strategic Planning,
• Negotiation Skills,
June 17-20, 1986
Duluth, Minnesota
• Going to Court and Winning
A special Friday program features a
skit and practicum, "How Tos of
Appearing on Cable TV."
Issue institutes provide up-to-date
information on issues of importance to
cities. On the agenda are many topics
related to financial viability:
• Dealing with Federal and State Budget
Cuts,
• Forum on Risk Management,
• Economic Development,
• Privatization.
City officials wanting to focus on per-
sonnel concerns can attend sessions such
as
• Innovations in Employee Benefits,
• Comparable Worth Implementation,
• The Changing Workforce —:Managing
Diversity,
• Update on FLSA.
Topics of special interest to smaller
cities include:
• The Crisis of the Volunteer Fire
Department,
• Financing Waste Water Treatment
Facilities,
• Contracting for Services,
• City Celebrations (back by popular
demand).
Another feature this year is a special
"Networking Time" on Thursday after-
noon — an opportunity for exchanging
—�&
ideas with other conference attendees.
In addition to several workshops, the
conference will include structured discus-
sion of nuts and bolts subjects in small
groups, as well as a special symposium
on the latest "hot topic." Finally, for
those who want to get a head start on
the weekend, Friday program activities
will begin and end earlier. The Finale
Breakfast (with speaker) at 8:30 a.m.
will replace the brunch. From 9:45 a.m.
to 12 noon, participants can choose from
one of three educational sessions to
round out their conference experience.
Duluth in June is a showcase for fun
and recreation and the city is planning a
variety of events for delegates and fami-
lies alike. City Night will offer gala festiv-
ities under a canopy outside Grandma's
Restaurant — food, entertainment, ambi-
ence. A workshop specifically for
spouses (with a separate registration fee)
will focus on what it means to "Choose
to Be Something Special" with the
expert leadership of trainer Bev Starkey.
Details will be available in the next issue.
From the Tuesday evening kickoff
through the Friday workshops, the Con-
ference Committee has packed the pro-
gram full of information and ideas of value
to every Minnesota city. Begin taking
positive steps for your city by following
the road to Duluth this June. ■

1986 SPRING CLEAN UP PROGRAM GUIDELINES:
1. The purpose of the Plymouth Spring Clean Up Program is to provide Plymouth
homeowners with an opportuniy to dispose of refuse which may have
accumulated on vacant public or private properties in the neighborhood
over the winter at little or no cost to residents. The program is not
intended as a basement or garage clean out program. Therefore, used
furnishings, utilities, carpeting and other such items should not be
included in the program.
2. Normally only one 20 -yard dumpster will be provided at city cost for each
clean up event. The homeowner association may elect to rent one
additional dumpster at its cost subject to availability.
3. The City will limit its participation to one clean up event per season per
association.
4. Homeowner associations should include at least 25 residential dwellings.
Smaller associations will be disqualified from participation in this
program.
5. To arrange to conduct a spring clean up program, the homeowner association
will be responsible for:
a. Scheduling the clean up event.
b. All advertising for the event.
c. Enlisting and organizing the person power necessary to conduct the
program.
d. Identification and property owner approval of the specific location
for the dumpster, preferably by address. Dumpster location should be
limited to private property off of the public street right-of-way.
e. Identifying the geographic size of the project area and the number of
households participating.
f. Clean up of the dumpster site where refuse has blown out of the
dumpster or the dumpster has been overfilled. The sponsoring group
will also be responsible for basic restoration of the dumpster site to
the condition it was prior to the clean up event.

Dear Ml:
Your participation in last year's Neighborhood Clean Up Program demonstrates to me
and members of the City Council that your homeowner's association is vibrant and
capable of converting civic concern into positive community action!
This year the Council is placing special emphasis on the program. May 1986 has been
declared "Spring Clean Up, Fix Up, Paint Up and Planting Month" in Plymouth.
This year the City will provide one dumpster for each neighborhood clean up effort.
To maximize the geographic coverage of the program, each program is to include a
minimum of 25 households. Historically, we have allowed smaller non -association
groups to conduct clean up efforts. This year the minimum association size is 25
households. As in the past, the central purpose of the program is to clean up
vacant private and public property. It is not intended as a basement clean out
effort. I am attaching a copy of the program guidelines which clarify the purpose of
the program and responsibilities of the program sponsors.
Because of your group's participation last year, I have taken the liberty to suggest
that representatives from other homeowner associations contact you for ideas for
their clean up campaigns.
To confirm that program guidelines are understood, this year for the first time we
are asking that clean up programs be arranged through completion of the attached
application. No telephone registration will be accepted. Fully completed
applications should be sent to: Plymouth City Center, Attention: Steve Barg. Mr.
Barg will contact association representatives to confirm program arrangements. Tn
June, I will once again be in contact with you regarding suggestions for improvinq
the clean up program in 1987.
Sincerely,
Virgil Schneider
Mayor

Dear M4:
D R A F T
This year the City Council is once again placing special emphasis on neighborhood
clean up. I am attaching a proclamation declaring May 1986 as "Spring Clean Up, Fix
Up, Paint Up, and Planting Month" in Plymouth. The 1986 Neighborhood Clean Up Program
is an opportunity for your association to demonstrate civic pride through community
action. I highly encourage you to participate in this program. As homeowners, each
of us benefits directly from the clean up program by enhancing the appearance of our
neighborhood. Our clean up efforts also help Plymouth maintain its excellent profile
and popularity in the metropolitan area.
This year the City will provide one dumpster for each neighborhood clean up effort.
To maximize the geographic coverage of the program, each program should include a
minimum of 25 households. Historically, we have allowed smaller non -association
groups to conduct clean up efforts. This year the minimum association size is 25
households. As in the past, the central purpose of the program is to clean up vacant
private and public property. The program is not intended as a basement clean out
effort. I am attaching a copy of the program guidelines which clarify the purpose of
the program and responsibilities of program sponsors.
Some of the groups conducting outstanding neighborhood clean-up campaigns last year
were:
Organization Contact Telephone
1.

3.
I'm sure that representatives of these groups would be glad to offer ideas for. your
1986 clean up program if you are interested.
To confirm that program guidelines are understood, this year, for the first time, we
are asking that clean up programs be arranged through completion of the attached
application. No telephone registration will be accepted. Fully completed appli-
cations should be sent to: Plymouth City Center, Attention: Steve Barg. Mr. Barg
will contact association representatives to confirm program arrangements. In dune, I

SUBJECT: Homeowner Association Recommendations for Improving the
1987 Spring Clean Up Program
Dear D:
For over eight years, the City has annually sponsored a Neighborhood Clean
Up Program in cooperation with Homeowner Associations in the community. The
purpose of the program is to enhance community attractiveness by encouraginq
residents to pick up refuse which has accumulated on vacant lots, city
property or public rights-of-way in their neighborhood. Under program
guidelines, the City agrees to provide a 20 -yard dumpster if the Homeowners
Association agrees to provide the manpower, know-how and dumpster location
for completion of the program. Because of funding constraints, each
Homeowners Assocation, regardless of size, has received one City paid
dumpster. Any additional dumpsters desired by an Association may be
acquired through the City at the Homeowners Association's expense. A number
of problems have arisen with respect to the program in previous years
including:
1. Dumpsters have been filled beyond capacity, requiring City crews to
call for a second dumpster and to take time to clean up materials.
This increases both contractual and personnel costs.
2. Related to number one above, many residents have used the program for
"basement clean-out" inrludinn rerigerators, tires, etc., rather than
for neighborhood clean up.
3. Larger homeowner associations have complained that, by virtue of the
number of homes and residents they represent, they should receive
more than one dumpster.
4. A number of smaller neighborhood groups have represented themselves
as "homeowner associations" in order to take advantage of the
program. This has resulted in the underutilization of dumpsters.
5. Only six dumpsters are available each weekend from the City's
contractor. Two weekends in May are particularly popular, and the
number of dumpsters requested exceeds availability.
6. The $3,000 allocated to the program has been overexpended in past
years.

DRAFT
During the 1987/1988 budget cycle, the City Council is goinq to consider how
the existing program can be improved. I believe it is safe to say that the
Council is suportive of the program for its original purpose - neighborhood
clean up. Unfortunately, because the program has evolved into a basement
clean out effort in many people's minds, many of the above problems have
come about.
By this letter I am soliciting your input on how the Spring Clean Up Program
can be improved in 1987. To assist you in this effort, I am enclosing a
copy of the 1986 program guidelines. I would like to receive your written
recommendations no later than duly 7 in order that your ideas can be
considered during our budget discussions. You are welcome to share your
ideas with the Council in person at the budget hearing scheduled for 7:30
p.m., September 15 at City Center. If you have questions, please contact
Laurie Houk at Plymouth City Center 559-2800.
Crisis in Liability Insurance Is Creating
Mounting Pressure for New Legislation
By STEPHEN WERMIEL
Staff RePOTter Qf THE WALL STREET JOURNA
WASHINGTON — The crisis over the
soaring cost and scarcity of liability insur-
ance is creating mounting pressure on Con-
gress to act.
"The insurance problem is just all over .
the place," says Sen. John Danforth (R.,
Mo.) , chairman of the Senate Commerce
Committee.
The lightning rod for action is legisla-
tion to change the law of product liability—
the part of the tort system in which those
injured in accidents while using products
from cars to telephone booths file lawsuits
for damages against companies they
blame for their injuries. Such changes
have been hotly debated in congressional
committees for several years, but now
there is "greater urgency," says Sen. Dan-
forth, whose staff is drafting legislation.
Added pressure will come from the
Reagan administration, which is circulat-
ing its own proposed product-liability legis-
lation. While the president's proposal will
meet some opposition, it may also serve as
a catalyst. "This will provide the 500 -pound
gorilla that's been missing," says Philip
Harter, a Washington lawyer who is push-
ing for changes in the law.
Time May Run Out
Consumer -group opposition, and differ-
ences in legislative approaches, may
thwart the pressure created by the crisis.
"Legislation will make it out of committee
and maybe even through the Senate, but 1
don't think there's time for the House to
act, this year," says Victor Schwartz, a
lawyer and former law professor who rep-
resents the Product Liability Alliance, a
business coalition pushing for changes in
the law.
Past efforts, led by Sen. Robert Kasten
(R., Wis.), focused on setting national
standards for state and federal courts,
specifying when manufacturers or distribu-
tors may be liable. Critics viewed the pro-
posal as relieving the liability of manufac-
turers at the expense of accident victims.
The bill became tied up in committee.
Now, Sen. Danforth is trying a different
approach, one that is more a change in
procedures than standards. His plan, still
being drafted, wouldn't change liability,
but would provide financial incentives to
both sides to encourage settlements and
discourage going to trial.
A Different Approach
The proposals the administration is
drafting take a different approach, sources
say, proposing to limit punitive and pain
and suffering awards to $100,000, capping
fees charged by plaintiffs' lawyers on a
sliding scale of 25% of the first $100,000 in
damages down to 10% after $300,000. The
administration would stop the practice of
making defendants jointly liable, which
has led to well-off defendants who were
only partly responsible paying in full.
These changes would be both in product-li-
ability cases and in lawsuits against the
federal government and federal contrac-
tors.
However, the administration would also
partially return to Sen. Kasten's controver-
sial approach, setting liability standards
for products, such as requiring proof of a
negligent design or a defect. Similar pro-
posals are in a bill introduced by Sen.
Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.). Administration
officials are seeking support from Sens.
Danforth, Kasten and Slade Gorton (R.,
Wash.), hoping for some accommodation.
The crucial question is whether there is
a compromise and on what terms. Sen.
Danforth says, "I'm flexible, but some
things in the administration's bill will be
very difficult to sell."
Liability Issue Enlivened
By Sparring on Anecdotes
By a WALL STREET JOURNAL Staff Reporter
WASHINGTON—The liability debate
has been enlivened with sparring by
both sides over anecdotes from court
cases.
Take the California case of the man
injured in a teiephone booth when a
drunken driver rammed the booth. The
1983 case was settled for an undisclosed
amount.
On ABC's "This Week with David
Brinkley" last Sundky, William McCor-
mick, chairman of Fireman's Fund In.
surance Co., was indignant over the Cal.
ifornia Supreme Court's ruling that he
said expanded the legal definition of lia-
bility. He said the court ruled that the
manufacturer could be liable because
the phone booth "could have been made
so strong as to withstand" the crash.
But the ruling itself didn't say that. It
said a jury should decide if those who
Put the booth there should have foreseen
the mishap from an earlier accident.
On the same show, Joseph Jamail, an
accident and injury lawyer from Hous.
ton, said Mr. McCormick "omitted" that
there had been "trouble with this phone
booth door locking" and "15 complaints
had been lodged against them."
But Thomas Cacciatore, the lawyer
who filed the California suit, said in a
phone interview that he isn't aware of
previous complaints about the booth. He
contends the door did lock at the time of
the accident, and that there have been
"well over 15" incidents of cars ram.
ming booths at other locations.

POLITICS AND POLICY
Proposals to Curb in s ware Dama Adg Lawsuits
Lead to Flood of g n Lobb iEffortsyon Both Slides
By BROOKS JACKSON
Staff Reporter of Tiw WAt.t. STREET JOL HNA]
WASHINGTON — Tort reform may
sound like an issue that would interest only
a law professor, but it's stirring up nearly
every business, professional and consumer
group here and in dozens of state legisla-
tures. And it's making some people see
red.
After a recent news conference on the
subject, for example, a staff aide allied
with consumer advocate Ralph Nader
lunged at business lobbyist James Coyne,
knocked him down and burst a blood vessel
in his right eyeball. Mr. Coyne had sug-
gested that Mr. Nader is secretly financed
by personal-injury lawyers. The Nader
man, Jay Angoff, concedes, "I lost my
temper."
Mr. Coyne has recovered, but the inci-
dent shows that feelings are running high
in what is becoming a titanic legislative
struggle.
On one side are those who favor limit-
ing damage awards in personal-injury
suits: practically the nation's entire busi-
ness establishment, the insurance industry,
the medical profession and assorted groups
of educators and public officials. On the
other side, backing the "consumer's right
to sue," is an alliance of personal-injury
lawyers, labor unions, consumer and envi-
ronmental groups, and Mr. Nader.
The insurers, as well as manufacturers
and some defense lawyers, say that the
high cost of personal-injury lawsuits, a
growing number of big damage awards
and court decisions that have broadened
manufacturers' liability are the major rea-
sons for the current soaring cost and dwin-
dling availability of liability insurance.
Role of Legal System
But Mr. Angoff, counsel for the National
Insurance Consumer Organization, says re-
stricting damages and liability would "pe-
nalize people who are already injured." He
contends that there are "absolutely no
data .... to indicate that the legal system
is even part of the reason for the astro-
nomical increases in insurance rates.'
Both sides have political -action commit-
tees that give millions of dollars in elec-
tion -campaign contributions. Both also
spend heavily on public relations, advertis-
ing and lobbying and can mobilize thou-
sands of members to bring pressure on
their congressmen or state legislators.
Already, for example, the insurance in-
dustry is spending $6.5 million to try to
convince the public that it has a "lawsuit
crisis" rather than an "insurance crisis"
on its hands.
One of its print advertisements shows a
forlorn youth in a high school football jer-

sey and says, "A lot of schools are thinking
about closing down their sports programs.
Why? It's part of the price of the lawsuit
crisis." Other ads say that even clergymen
are being sued for "religious malpractice"
and that many obstetricians have stopped
delivering babies out of fear of being sued.
Television ads carry the same themes.
The ads are financed by the Insurance
Information Institute, the publicity arm of
the industry. They are aimed at influenc-
ing bills pending before Congress and in
several state legislatures, as well as a bal-
lot initiative in California. The industry's
ads are concentrated in a dozen key states
and the District of Columbia and are being
timed to coincide with state legislative ses-
sions.
Personal-injury lawyers say there isn't
any way they can match such a publicity
campaign. "We're David and they're Go-
liath," says Alan Parker, public -affairs di-
rector for the Association of Trial Lawyers
of America.
A Well -Armed `David' .
But the trial lawyers aren't exactly
fighting with slings and stones. Their or-
ganization has a Washington staff of about
100 people and a rapidly growing political -
action committee with $1.2 million in the
bank at last report. It retains two of Wash-
ington's premier lobbyists, Democrat
Thomas Boggs and Republican William
Timmons.
The real strength of the lawyers' lobby,
however, lies in its 60,000 members, who
see a potential threat to their livelihoods.
Various proposals now being considered
would make it more difficult for people to
collect damages for injury or illness, would
limit the amount of damages clients could
collect, and would even cap the amount
lawyers could collect in fees.
California trial lawyers have attracted
pledges of more than $1 million to fight a
June 3 ballot initiative that would curb
plaintiffs' ability to collect judgments from
defendants in some cases. The president of
the state trial lawyers' association, Peter
Hinton, wrote in a March 17 letter to mem-
hers: "Over a dozen firms and individuals
in California have already committed
more than $100,000 to the fight. Some have
contributed as much as $300,000. We need
every penny we can raise."
Nader on the Attack
But wherever possible, the trial lawyers
are keeping a low profile and leaving the
talking to Mr. Nader and to allied con-
sumer and union ¢roues. Mr. Nader ar-
cuses the insurance industry of a "conspir-
acy" to raise premiums and strip victims
of their rights. He and Joan Claybrook, an
old ally who was the federal auto -safety
chief in the Carter administration, have
formed the Coalition for Consumer Justice,
which includes consumer groups, some big
labor unions and "victim" groups includ-
ing sufferers from white -lung and brown -
lung disease.
On the other side, a spokesman for the
270,000 -member American Medical Associ-
ation says the cost of malpractice judg-
ments is the AMA's "issue No. 1." And a
spokesman for the U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce says that group decided last week to
start its own advertising campaign against
escalating product-liability judgments.
The chamber hasn't decided how much
it will spend, but it is likely to be a consid-
erable sum. Barry Bauman,an attorney
for the chamber, says the group also sees
this as its top legislative issue for the com
Ing year, and he says, "We don't want to
shortchange it in any way."
In addition, Mr. Coyne, executive vice
president of the American Consulting Engi-
neers Council, has put together a coalition I
of business groups supporting limits on
damage judgments, called the American
Tort Reform Association. The more than
200 member groups range, alphabetically,
fromthe
the Wood Academy of
ufaacneral eturlers of
America.

JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PRAC MEETING
April 2, 1986, 6:00 p.m.
Present: Councilmembers Schneider, Sisk, Zitur; PRAC members Edwards, Anderson,
LaTour, Mullan, Rosen; staff Willis, Boyles, Blank, Brown, Busch,
Patterson and Peterson
Presentation by Busch
Park facility rental policies and fee schedule, athletic associations and
use of school facilities. The pressure is great on existing facilities. Weekends
are becoming more of an option with new school policies on scheduling personnel.
Daytime facilities continue to be a problem. Adult sports - numbers. Lights
out policy - no new inning or period may start after 10:00 p.m.
Presentation by Patterson
Selection of new programs - always working four months to one year ahead. Ideas
come from: staff brainstorming, brochures from all over the U.S., PRAC and program
advisory committee, community education, feedback from participants, requests
from residents, other agencies.
Selection based on: philosophy, program balance, duplication of services, can
it pay for itself, space/facilities, staff time, availability of qualified
instructors, interest, safety/liability.
Presentation of program growth: with a 23% increase in population from 1980-85,
the number of classes offered increased 576%, total enrollment increased 297%
with non-resident enrollment increasing 1367. Individual sports enrollment
increased 40% and adult team enrollment increased 210%.
Mayor Schneider questioned why not charge non-resident fees. Many programs
already have non-resident fees attached. The major reason we have not adopted
the fees across the board is the use of school facilities and the possibility
of having to face facility charges if the school districts responded negatively
to non-resident charges. Another reason is the low estimated revenue generated
versus a much larger negative reaction.
Presentation by Peterson -
Maintenance expenses and hours worked for five parks by task. Parks included:
Zachary, Oakwood, Schmidt, Lions and Shiloh. With this information better pre-
dictions can be made for additional maintenance demands created by acquisition
of additional facilities.
If cuts were made in the parks and environmental budget, the first services
affected would be trimming, garbage pick-up, fertilization and spraying (turf
maintenance cuts could force high expenditures with total renovation in the
future) .
Conversely, if increases were made to the budget, greater use of contractual
services, additional upkeep, more fences, etc.
Presentation by Blank
Park Development: Since 1981, progress has been made in 13 out of 17 neighbor-
hoods (either some or all land has been acquired, or a park has been developed)
inside the MUSA line.

Remaining deficiencies: Neighborhood #15 north of County Road 9 and east of
Fernbrook Lane, 435 and 443, south of Oakwood School (note - no undeveloped
land is available), 439 south of Medicine Lake.
Neighborhood Parks: Five sites are either in the land acquisition or develop-
ment phase: County Road 61, Amhurst, St. Mary's, Rolling Hills and Swan Lake.
Playfields: Phase I development will take place at either Bass Lake or Parkers
Lake by 1990.
City Parks: Parkers Lake - Phase I in 1986, Phase II in 1987; West Medicine
Lake - planning for 1988; Plymouth Creek - $10,000 is budgeted for 1986 to study
the future development and use. There is a permit in with the DNR for lake
dredging over a period of years.
A lot of pressure is directed toward trail development. The major priority is
given to infilling between portions of trail already in place. The Luce Line
between Vicksburg Lane and I-494 is scheduled for 1986.
The park dedication collected one year is spent the next.
Liability
Eric Blank indicated national design standards are used to provide safety.
Equipment heights, surfaces, equipment and spacing are all kept at state-of-the-
art levels. Maintenance records are kept of monthly inspections and repairs
made to equipment.
John Mullan noted that care should be taken so that designers and;or companies
supplying equipment or plans provide insurance certificates.
Mary Patterson explained the staff selection and training process used.
Ruth Brown elaborated on recent changes in policies regarding pool and beach
procedures, lifeguard training requirements, testing and in -services.
Eric Blank also stated he feels our greatest exposure is through youth teams
with volunteer coaches. He recommends working toward using all certified
coaches.
Community Center
Questions arose regarding the marketing and broad support needed for such a
project. Rick Rosen stressed that the concept needed to be sold, not the
specifics. Jerry Sisk proposed a professional consultant be used for marketing.
Generally, Councilmembers Zitur and Sisk were in favor of a community center.
Mayor Schneider is in support of the idea, but he feels that the timing is
not right and that there is not enough community support at this time. City
Manager Willis indicated that a community center would be important for giving
community identity and spurring continued growth.
Firestation #3 is seen as the priority in 1986.
Eric Blank explained that the possibility of private financing is currently being
hindered by proposed changes in the federal tax laws. All councilmembers were very
interested in pursuing private financing. A record of those calling in regarding
the future of a community center will be kept.

DEER TASK FORCE
The deer task force met on April 9, 1986. The following members were present:
Jane Laurence -Cooper
Dick Mulhollam
Carole Busch
Maria Vasiliou
Dick Carlquist
The meeting started at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was to review
literature and information from Wild Life Manaqement Professionals and also
from cities that have dealt with a similar problem due to increasing numbers
of white tail deer. Jane informed the group that she had heard from Gene Johnson
of the Courage Center, 542-3707. Mr. Johnson organizes a group from the Courage
Center of wheel chair archers who go deer hunting every year. These are paraplegics
who pair up with an able bodied person and go out in the woods to hunt. He wanted
to be notified if Plymouth did decide to have a hunt in order to bring his wheel
chair archers out in the early part of the season.
Materials from the city of Blaine were reviewed. The Blaine City Clerk had supplied
us with a copy of their original ordinance which allowed for a bow and arrow hunt,
and a later revision of that ordinance which allowed for a muzzle loading hunt.
Information from John Parker of The Department of Natural Resources, area wild life
manager for Hennepin, Scott, Dakota and Carver counties, was reviewed. Mr. Parker's
phone number at home is 447-8487 and his work phone number is 445-9393. His area
office is located at 223 Holmes Street, Room 101, Shakopee, Minnesota 55379.
Mr. Parker pointed out that cities can legally issue fire arms permits but not
hunting permits. He also indicated that the DNR sponsors an advanced hunter education
course and it would be available if Plymouth decided to have a hunt and required an
orientation night. (Also, information was received from Gene Woodman, Education
Specialist with The Department of Natural Resources, regarding the hunter education
program.) Mr. Parker recommended looking into the use of reflectors for high use
crossings but pointed out that the city must then also put some thought into establishing
and managing deer areas. Managing for deer would involve providing food and cover
and encouraging the deer to stay in the provided wild life area. John Parker is
available and would like to meet with decision makers to discuss the options available.

Eight articles from Professional Literature on deer control were distributed to
the committee members and reviewed by them. Topics included fencing, removal
techniques, calculating food needs for white tail deer and the use of reflectors
in reducing deer vehicle collisions. Of particular interest to the committee
members were the the three articles which dealt with the use of the swareflex
wild life warning reflectors which typically showed a 91% reduction rate in
deer vehicle collisions.
All committee members were in favor of checking further into the possibility of
securing reflectors for the high use crossings in Plymouth.
The discussion then turned to the philosophical aspects of hunting. Councilwoman
Ms. Vasiliou and Director Carlquist supported an idea of a nuisance control
approach to problems with deer browse. Using this method, the city would respond
to nuisance complaints involving deer in the same way it handles woodpeckers or
pigeons, in that a land owner would be issued a fire arms permit and would obtain
permission from the State of Minnesota to eradicate deer that can be shown to be
causing a nuisance.
It was pointed out by Jane Laurence -Cooper that this method is a simple political
approach to the problem and would be of very little effectiveness in dealing with
the long range wild life management of white tail deer in Plymouth.
It was decided that Director Carlquist will summarize the task force findings
in a report and would circulate the report to the members of the task force. If
any members at that time wish to attach statements or reports of their own, they
.may do so, and upon completion the entire report would be forwarded to the City
Council for their review.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 p.m.
The minutes are submitted by Jane Laurence -Cooper.

Fred Moore, irrector of Public Works
SUBJECT: Highway 101 Improvement Project
City Project 413
On Friday, April 4th I met with representatives of MnDOT and property owners
concerning the Highway 101 Improvement Project which will be constructed by
MnDOT this summer. In attendance at the meeting from MnDOT was Glen Ellis,
Chief Design Engineer, and two other staff people who will be in charge of
construction after the project begins. Carter Hicks, one of the concerned
property owners in the area, and Gary Neilson, store manager of Erickson Super
Valu and Bob Erickson were also in attendance.
I believe as a result of the meeting the property owners understand the need
for the project. During the period from 1979 to 1982 there were a total of 31
accidents at the intersection of Highway 101 and 19th Avenue. These accidents
included one fatality, 15 personal injury and 15 property damage accidents. It
was for this reason that the State programmed improvements on Highway 101.
The vroiect now includes the extension of the existing four -lane roadway
Northerly through the Merrimac Lane intersection. It also includes the
construction of a right -turn lane from Southbound Highway 101 to Westbound
County Road 6. The estimated project cost is $375,000.
MnDOT stated that the contract includes 35 working days for construction. They
would expect work to begin about July 7th or after the 4th of July weekend.
The concern of Mr. Hicks is the trees which need to be removed next to the
lake. The centerline of the new roadway has been shifted ten feet to the West
in order to minimize the impact adjacent to the lake as much as possible. The
plans, as presently, completed do not include any replanting of trees adjacent
to the lake. MnDOT stated that it is very unlikely that the plans could be
amended and the State VD replant trees at their cost.
At the present time the State has not submitted to the City the final plans for
approval and adoption of the cost sharing agreement. I am expecting to receive
this material within the next two weeks. I informed Mr. Hicks that I would let
him know when this item was scheduled for City Council consideration. Mr.
Hicks and other property owners will be asking the City to fund the planting of
trees adjacent to the lake.

Plymouth, MN 55441
Dear Ms. Troemel:
In response to your concern about traffic conditions at the intersection of
County Roads 61 and 15 in the City of Plymouth, our department has conducted
traffic studies and investigated accident experience at this location. The
traffic studies consisted of manually counting all vehicular and pedestrian
movements through the intersection for a 16 hours period (6:00 am to 10:00
pm) on a typical week day. Accident experience was checked from the date
County Road 61 opened to traffic in November of 1985 to the present date. A
copy of the 16 hours volume study is enclosed for your information.
The results of the Lraffic study showed that traffic volumes, both vehicular
and pedestrian, fall considerably below the levels necessary to justify
placing more stringent control at this location, such as a traffic signal or
a four way stop. Personnel stationed at this intersection performing the
study observed that there was little or no difficulty to either vehicles or
pedestrians desiring to enter or cross County Road 61.
Since the new roadway opened to traffic, the Plymouth Police Department
reports that to their knowledge. no accidents have occurred at this
intersection.
As pointed out in our earlier correspondence, painted crosswalks and
pedestrian warning signs are in places to assist pedestrians in crossing
County Road 61. These, of course, will remain and the crosswalk repainted
this spring.
Since our last correspondence, the Commissioner of Transportation has
designated a 40 MPH speed zone on County Road 61 through this area.
Appropriate speed limit signs have been posted on this route.

Based on this information, the installation of more stringent traffic control
such as a traffic signal or a four way stop at this location cannot be
recommended by our department. Traffic volume studies, intersection
observations and accident records indicate that pedestrians and vehicles have
little or no problems safely crossing or entering County Road 61.
Should you have further concerns about this intersection, please call either
me or Dennis Hansen, County Traffic Engineer, at 935-3381.
Sincerely,
Herbert 0. Klossner, P.E.

Dear Ms. Johnson:
CITY OF
PLYMOM
As a result of receiving several comments at the March 20th Town Meeting, and
your resident feedback form, the City Council has adopted a resolution
requesting the Hennepin County Department of Transportation to undertake a
study for the need of additional traffic control devices at the intersection of
County Road 6 and Dunkirk Lane. Since County Road 6 is under the jurisdiction
and control of the County all changes or additions to the existing traffic
control devices, including traffic signals, must be approved by the County.
The request for this study was approved by the Plymouth City Council on March
31st. Since this type of study requires detailed traffic counts at the
intersection and an analysis of the accident records for the past several
years, I would expect it will take the County three to four months to complete
the study.
After the Citv has received the study from the County, I will inform you of the
recommendations for any changes.
If there are any further questions at this time, please do ,not hesitate to
contact me.

Subject: Elm Creek Maintenance
Dear Howard:
=--13 b'
I realize you are out of the City on an extended vacation, but this letter will
give you a written record on the maintenance which was performed within the Elm
Creek Drainageway. Work was undertaken both by the City of Plymouth and the
City of Maple Grove.
On February 24th and 25th a contractor working for the City of Plymouth dredged
approximately one to two feet of silt from the creek channel. This work took
place from County Road 47, Northerly for approximately 800 feet. All material
removed from the channel was hauled outside the flood plain.
Beginning that same week and continuing into the next week the City of Maple
Grove also had a contractor remove one to three feet of silt from the channel
within Maple Grove. This work was undertaken over approximately 2,000 feet of
the creek channel. Maple Grove also removed trees that had fallen within Lhe
channel.
The work undertaken by both Cities was that recommended in a report prepared by
Barr Engineering in order to restore the creek channel to 1974 conditions. By
completing this work the length of time for which water is outside the creek
channel will be lessened.
When you return if there are any questions with regard to the work that was
completed, please do not hesitate me.

Dear Jim:
The Legislature has adjourned and I hope we can all rest!
I know you are well deserving of a break from the rigors of the regular
session, not to mention the pressure of havinq to cope with the budget
balancing act which culminated in the one -day special session. I want to
personally thank you for your efforts during this past session on behalf of
Plymouth. I am particularly pleased that our efforts to establish a
infrastructure replacement fund law were successful. While the original
bill was changed substantially, the bill should prove to be of benefit to
not only Plymouth, but to all the municipalities of the state.
Infrastructure replacement is going to continue to be a subject of Brach
Aiscussion in the years ahead. With the new authority granted by this
legislation, municipalities will at least have a means by which they can
address the financing of the replacement of streets, bridges, curbs, gutters
and storm sewers outside levy limitation. Even the reverse referendum
provision should not create an undue burden for most cities.
I don't believe this bill would have of ultimately worked its way into the
Bonding Bill (H.F. 2287) if it had not been for your personal efforts.
There isn't a whole lot of "sex" appeal to these kinds of bills, but they do
represent, in my view, legislation which will assist local government in
meeting its responsibilities more effectively. Thank you for your special
efforts and support, without which this new and valuable tool would not be

Dear Mayor Schneider:
Recently I attended a community meeting held by the City Council. This
gathering was most interesting and informative. I have continued to be
impressed with the quality of the municipal government during the three years I
have lived in this city. The city planning, especially the parks and trails
system, will ensure a viable and attractive community as its population grows.
A project which will be of great benefit to Plymouth residents of all ages is
the development of the recreational complex at the City Center. I has dis-
appointed that the referendum on that project did not pass, but it was under-
standable considering the Wayzata School District problems at that time. My
concern is that there now exists a window of opportunity with building costs
and interest rates low. While there is uncertainty over federal and state
budget cuts which will affect municipalities, it is nevertheless a good time to
invest in this part of Plymouth's development. A return to high interest and
inflation could postpone the recreation center for years and result in a sub-
stantially higher cost when eventually built.
I would appreciate it if you would place a review of the recreation center on a
future Council agenda and see that the Parks and Recreation Department con-
tinues to pursue this project.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor:
Subject: Recycling
1420 Juneau Lane North
Plymouth, Minnesota 55441
Apr i 1 ,7, 1986
I admire your efforts to attempt to reduce the need for sanitary landfill
facilities. Unfortunately, programs similar to the one you propose
have generally failed across the U.S. Like those, this proposal is
lacking in any economic benefit to the Plymouth resident. Iagree
recycling is a conservative measure we all should be willing to support
but we are an affluent society and are comfortable with paying for
the convenience of having our garbage picked up without the chore of
separation.
The program you suggest is.far too late in time to provide any economic
benefit for at least two reasons: 1) Hennepin County is in the process
of construction of a Refuse Derived Fuel ("RDF") facility which is
scheduled for completion in.1988; and 2) your proposal does not
eliminate the need for garbage collection. Both of these will
ultimately have a negative economic impact on every residential,
commercial and industrial constituent of Hennepin County.
The need to continue the services of an independent garbage collector
and essentially pay the same rate for one container or three, automatically
is defeating to your program. The added fees to be paid by such
collector for disposal in the Hennepin -County RDF facility will be
directly reflected in the rates the collector charges its customers.
In addition, your proposal will add yet another cost. Since the City
is sponsoring your proposal, it will have added expenses in the form
of handling equipment and probably added labor costs.
Being familiar with this entire waste disposal problem, I cannot support
the program you propose. Further, I; oppose having the City appropriating
or spending any funds to promote or execute this proposal.
Very truly yours,

Dear Council and Commissioners,
Subject: Altering of wetlands
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55424
It has come to my attention that you recently approved the altering
of at least four wetlands which are designated wetlands on the state
Protected Waters Inventory. I also understand you are contemplating
additional such activity. Our organization is presently looking into
this situation.
While wetlands serve as a valuable ingredient in the promotion
of our state waterfowl resources, these wetlands also assist in flood
control and in the protection of clean water resources. Therefore,
the altering of these small jewelsin your community has repercussions
far beyond their approximate limits.
I encourage you to proceed very carefully in any plans which
could alter or jeopardize these wetlands in low areas.

Dear Mr. Dobie:
We have received your April 7, 1986 correspondence regarding altering of
wetlands within the City of 'Plymouth. A copy of your letter has been
provided to each of the Plymouth City Council members as well as each of the
Plymouth Planning Commission members.
Your letter refers to the City recently approving the altering of at least
four wetlands. It would be beneficial if you could identify these so we
could respond more specifically to those alterations.
From time to time, the City has had a need to seek approval to modify or
alter certain ponding areas. In those cases, where the pondinq areas are
identified as being Protected Wetlands by the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR), we have obtained the necessary permit approvals from the
appropriate agencies.
The rite concurs with your statement that wetlands are valuable in tine
promotion of the State waterfowl resources: and, assist in flood control and
clean water resources. In order to protect the ponding areas within the
City, we utilize several methods.
The City's Comprehensive Plan incorporates a Storm Water Drainage Plan.
This plan identifies all of the ponding areas which are deemed necessary to
implement an overland storm water drainage system. This system is
accompanied by a public storm sewer pipe system. As land develops, the City
obtains the necessary easements over the pond areas to protect them from
further development and to insure that we have adequate area for the needed
ponding.
As development occurs, the City requires a financial guarantee from
developers/contractors for maintenance and assurance that proper erosion
control measures are provided. A formal Erosion Control Policy was adopted
by the City Council which establishes minimum parameters to be followed.
The Plymouth City Council, Planning Commission, staff, and residents, are
concerned and interested in protecting our natural resources and natural
site characteristics. The City is continuing to develop at a rapid pace.
The City also promotes development. Development in Plymouth is accomplished
in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other code
and policies to assure that such development occurs within acceptable guide-
lines.
