A number of observations are in order:
1. Internal circulator ridership slipped in May averaging 35
passengers per day, which is below the 36 passenger per day
average established in May 1985. We hope that ridership for the
internal circulator will improve with the onset of summer
vacation for junior and senior high school students.
2. The commuter/reverse commuter portion of the service averaged
332 persons per day in May, which is above the 298 average
posted in May 1985.
3. In terms of our system -wide ridership target of 393 passengers
per day, we are below our goal by three at 390 passengers per
day. Annually, ridership has decreased during the month of
May due to a drop in student usage. However, ridership figures
usually rebound in June.

2. PLYMOUTH METROLINK ROUTE CHANGES -- City Council approval of the
1986 Plymouth Metrolink contractual agreement was contingent on a
requirement that Plymouth Metrolink and Medicine Lake Lines service
to Plymouth residents be revised no later than dune 30, 1986 to
conform to the Regional Transit Board's definition of "full peak -
limited off-peak" service. Prior to making these adjustments,
transit service to Plymouth residents is considered by the Board to
"full peak and full off-peak service". Accordingly, a full two mill
or approximately $1,200,000 levy is made against the taxpayers in
the City of Plymouth. By making minor revisions to the routes to
meet the "full peak and limited off-peak" service definition, the
transit levy to Plymouth taxpayers should be revised to the 1.5 mill
levy or approximatley $900,000. This $200,000 is a direct tax
savings to Plymouth residents effective in 1987.
To assure that the Regional Transit Board is aware of our service
revision in order that it be reflected in our 1987 levy, the
attached April 21, 1986 letter was sent to Elliott Perovich. We
have confirmed that he has received the letter on May 1, 1986.
Service changes have been made and are reflected in the new schedule
which is attached for Council information. Also attached is a copy
of the rider appreciation card which was distributed to Plymouth
Metrolink passengers on May 28 providing them with a discount on
their next fare card. Our purpose here is to assure that existing
riders stick with us during the normally low summer months from a
transit perspective. (I-2)

4. SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY - 1987 BUDGET -- At its April 16, 1986
meeting the Suburban Rate Authority accepted a draft 1987 budget

an assessment to the membership at $350 per vote. Plymouth, which
has 7 votes, would be assessed $2,450, with the first half payable
in February and the second half in August of 1987. The City's total
assessment for 1986 was $1,400 ($200.00 per vote), and for 1985,
$2,576.70 ($368.10). In accordance with SRA By-laws, the budget has
been forwarded to the membership for comment. The SRA Board will

Mr. Elliott Perovich, Chair
Regional Transit Board
270 Metro Square Building
St. Paul, MN 55101
Dear Mr. Perovich:
Su �
The contracts between the City of Plymouth and Medicine Lake Lines, and
between the City of Plymouth and Regional Transit Board, provide that,
no later than June 30, 1986, service levels for both Plymouth Metrolink and
Medicine Lake Lines within the City of Plymouth will be revised during
off-peak hours to become eligible to the RTB service definition of "full
peak, limited off-peak". Plymouth is currently classified "full peak and
full off-peak". I attaching for your information a letter dated April 8,
1986 from Dave Pesch, Transit Planner of Medicine Lake Lines, together with
attachments outlining changes that will be made effective June 30, 1986 to
off-peak service provided to Plymouth residents through the Medicine Lake
Lines linehaul system, and Plymouth Metrolink internal circulator.
These changes will enable the City of Plymouth to become eliq;hle to 1.5
mill rate for full peak, limited off-peak service for 1986 payable 1987
Regional Transit Board levy. Please contact me as soon as possible if we
have misinterpreted your service guidelines. In the absence of such
notification, I will presume that Plymouth will be classified as a full
peak, limited off-peak community by virtue of the service changes outlined
herein.
Yours v tru ,

Mr. Frank Boyles
Assistant City Manager

Plymouth, MN. 55447
Dear Frank:
This correspondence and attachments outline the changes Medicine Lake Lines
will be making to transit service affecting the City of Plymouth. The changes
are being made in accordance with the Plymouth City Council's Resolution with
respect to the 1985-1986 Transit Tax Levy. Upon implementation of these service
changes the City of Plymouth's citizens will be provided with full peak sevice
and limited off peak service as defined by the Regional Transit Board including
peak period regular route service, plus weekday mid-day regular route service
at intervals longer than 60 minutes on the route with greatest frequency.
Attachment I shows the changes to be made to Medicine Lake Lines service within
Plymouth's city limits. The changes are effective June 30,1986 and are expected
to affect 8-12 riders on a daily basis. In most cases, the riders will have
service adjusted by a couple of minutes, however, one inbound and one outbound
trip segment will be eliminated. This segment elimination will affect from 1-3
riders per day.
Attachment II shows the current Metrolink Mid-day Circulator route and schedule
characteristics and the proposed schedule changes. Effective June 2, 1986
the route will remain the same but the bus will travel only clockwise. The
headway will be greater than 60 minutes. All Circulator riders could theoretically
be affected by this change (322 trips made March '86) but in effect all current
riders can make the same trips as before although the bus direction and riding
time may vary depending upon their origin and destinations.
I trust these service changes will satisfy the intent of the Resolution. Please
advise me of any questions or concerns you may have.
Cordially,
'/A

Re: 1987 SRA Budget
Herbert P. Lefler III
James J. Thomson, Jr.
Thomas R, Galt
Dear Mr. Willis:
Dayle Nolan
Brian F. Rice
John G. Kressel
At its April quarterly meeting, the Suburban Rate Author -
Lorraine S.Clugg
ity Board of Directors voted to accept a budget recom-
James M. Strommen
mended by the SRA Executive Committee and further to
Ronald H. Batty
William P. Jordan
propose a 1987 assessment at $350 per vote.
Susan Dickel Minsberg
Kurt J. Erickson
I accordance with the by-laws, the Board directed
William R. Skallerud
Rodney D. Anderson
counsel to provide the draft budget and notice of the
Corrine A. Heine
proposed assessment to members. The budget is enclosed.
John R. McDonald, Jr
Also enclosed is a copy of the April 16 meeting minutes.
David D. Beaudoin
Under the proposal, the 1987 assessment to the City of
Plymouth would be $2,450, payable half in February and
half in August of 1987.
The Board will consider comments from members at the July
Boar6 meeting and will then consider and make final the
budget and assessments.
Your past support of the Suburban Rate Authority has
provided many benefits to members and to their businesses
and residents. The most current example of the benefits
will come in the order of the Public Utilities Commission
on the 1985 Northern State Power Company general rate
increase. SRA was the only party to recommend certain
adjustments to the company's proposal. While the order
has not yet been issued, the Commission has voted with
SRA on some of SRA's positions. On one issue alone, that
of the proper amount of coal fuel inventories, it is
expected that the revenue requirement will be reduced by
over $1,000,000 per year, and that this savings will
continue each year for many years into the future. Since
approximately 85% of NSP's electric power is sold in the
June 2, 1986
Page 2
metropolitan area, the savings to SRA members, their
businesses and residents is demonstrable and substantial.
A full report will be made to members following the
issuance of the Commission's order, expected about
June 2.
Very truly yours,
LeFEVERE, LEFLER, KENNEDY,
O'BRIEN & DRAWZ
Glenn E. Purdue

7. RESOLUTION HONORING J.N. DALEN: Chairman called on
Mr. LeFevere, who gave an extensive history of the work of the

meeting, Mayor Bruce Nawrocki and former secretary -treasurer,
J.N. Dalen, were on the original SRA Board of Directors in 1962.
2
S --y
In 1965, Mr. Dalen became Assistant Treasurer, while Mr. Nawrocki
was Treasurer. In 1966, Mr. Dalen became treasurer of the SRA
and served continuously until the 1986 annual meeting. The Board
recognized Mr. Dalen's contribution of 23 years of Board member-
ship and 21 years as an officer. On behalf of the Board,
Mr. LeFevere presented Mr. Dalen with a plaque which read as
follows:
J.N. DALEN
In Honor of Twenty -Three Years of Service to
the Suburban Rate Authority as a Member of
its Board of Directors and for Twenty -One
Years as an Officer of the Board, RESOLVED:
That J.N. Dalen be Awarded the Title
PRODIGIOUS SECRETARY -TREASURER EMERITUS
Said Title to be held in perpetuity.
Given by the Board of Directors
of the
Suburban Rate Authority
April 1986
The Board congratulated Mr. Dalen for his unswerving dedication
to the work of the organization. Mr. LeFevere noted that he
could recall only two meetings which Mr. Dalen had missed during
the 23 years. Mr. Dalen will continue as the alternate director
from the City of Edina.
8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Northwestern Bell Access Charge Case. Mr. Purdue
reported that the Public Utilities Commission had denied North-
western Bell's request to impose a monthly access charge on all
Bell customers. The company had proposed an access charge of
approximately $2.00 per month per customer, and had scaled the
charge according to the .ratios between the tiers in the tier
system. SRA argued that there should be no access charge and
secondly, that if there were an access charge, it should be a
flat rate across the metro area. The Administrative Law Judge
recommended an access charge but agreed with the SRA that the
tier system should not be used. The Commission determined there
should be no access charge and the case appears to be closed.
Uniform Electric Franchise. Mr. Purdue reported that
discussions with NSP are continuing and that he expects a Uniform
Franchise will be presented to the Board for approval at its July
meeting. A committee consisting of Fred Moore, Graydon Boeck and
Fran Hoffman (Public Works Director for Edina) and counsel are
working on the franchise.
3
Legislation Regarding MPUC. Mr. Purdue distributed a
memorandum regarding MPUC legislation. He reported that he
appeared before the Senate and House committees which considered
the various bills and that the appearances resulted in several
favorable changes.
1985 NSP Electric General Rate Case. Mr. Purdue then
reported on the progress in the 1985 rate case. He reported -that
a memorandum report had been sent to the non-member cities which
contributed to the SRA effort. A copy of the memorandum is
attached to the Minutes. He then reported that the Administra-
tive Law Judge has issued the first part of his recommendations
to the Commission and that the second part of his report will be
made by April 22. The case will now go to the full Commission
for decision, following briefing to the Commission by the par-
ties, and oral argument on May 12. He reported that the Adminis-
trative Law Judge had not agreed with SRA concerning the fuel
inventory issue and amortization of the conservation expenditure
costs, but that several other issues on which SRA took a position
had been recommended favorably. He expressed optimism that the
Commission would overrule the Law Judge on the fuel issue. The
Commission's order will be issued by approximately May 31.
MWCC Rate -Structure Legislation
Mr. Boeck reported on the status of the legislation to
implement the recommendations of the MWCC rate structure task
force. Several areas were addressed in the recent session and no
violence appears to have been done to the work of the task force.
9. NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Boeck reported that the Execu-
tive Committee had considered NSP's recent filing for an increase
in its gas utility rates. These rates affect several SRA members
in St. Paul suburbs. He reported that the Executive Committee
recommended that counsel be directed to review the filing and
report to the Executive Committee as to whether an intervention
might be appropriate to protect the interests of those SRA
members affected. After some discussion, it was moved by
Mr. McGraw that counsel be directed to review the NSP gas filing
and to recommend a course of action to the Executive Committee
and further that the Executive Committee be authorized to act on
behalf of the Board concerning intervention. The Motion was
seconded by Mr. Sinda. After additional discussion, it carried
unanimously.
Mr. Boeck and counsel then presented a proposed 1987 budget.
Chairman Boeck reported that the Executive Committee had consid-
ered the budget and had recommended several modifications to the
draft. Mr. Purdue also reported on the proposal. After discus-
sion, it was moved by Mr. Lais, seconded by Mr. Nawrocki that the
1987 assessment be placed at $350 per vote and that the draft
budget be forwarded to members in accordance with the By -Laws.
The Motion carried unanimously.
4
ADJOURNMENT: The Chairman reported that was no other
business to come before the meeting. Mr. Brown moved to adjourn.
The Motion was seconded by Ms. Goth and was carried unanimously.

Subject: Renaming of County Road 15
Dear Property Owner:
As you may be aware, the City of Plymouth will be accepting existing County
Road 15 as a City street later this year. During the construction of the new
interchange at I-494 and County Road 15 it was determined that existing County
Road 15 no longer serves the function of a County road, but acts as a local
City street. All of County Road 15 from Vicksburg Lane Easterly to County Road
73 will become a City street.
After the County Road 15 designation is discontinued the City Council must
rename the roadway as a City street. The number of your address would not
change with the renaming of the street.
In order to receive comments from the affected property owners the City Council
has established a public information meeting on the renaming of County Road 15
at 7:30 p.m. on June 23, 1986. The meeting will be held in the City Council
Chambers of the Plymouth City Center Building, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. You
are invited to attend or submit written comments at this meeting if you have
suggestions or a preference with regard to a new name for the roadway.
Suggested names have been as follows:
Old County Road 15
Waymouth Road
Gleason Lake Road
If you have any questions with regard to the renaming of the street, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Fred G. Moore, P.E.
Director of Public Works

Subject: County Road 15 Bikeway
Vicksburg Lane to I-494
City Project 602
Dear Property Owner:
Over the past several years the City Council has considered the construction of
a bikeway along County Road 15 from I-494 to Vicksburg Lane. Earlier this year
a Preliminary Engineering Report was prepared to estimate the cost of
constructing the bikeway. The report considered two feasible alternates for
constructing the bikeway. One alternate would be an eight foot wide asphalt
trail along the North side of the existing roadway, but separate from the
existing traffic lanes. The other alternate would widen the existing roadway
to provide a trail immediately adjacent to the traffic lanes. The report
concluded that because of the cost and projected traffic conditions, the
on -street trail was not justified and the best alternate was the detached trail
along the North side of the roadway. This trail could be constructed without
the acquisition of additional right-of-way, but would require some temporary
construction easements.
In order to continue the planning process, and since your property will be
directly affected by the proposed trail construction, the City Council has
established a public information meeting on the proposed improvements. This
meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on June 23, 1986 in the City Council
Chambers, City Center Building, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard.
If you wish more information concerning the proposed trail or you desire to
make comments to the City Council, you are invited to attend this meeting or
submit your comments in writing. If you have any questions before the meeting,
please do not hesitate to contact either Sherm Goldberg, City Engineer or
myself.
Sincerely,
Fred G. Moore, P.E.

We have received a complaint from Dave Crain relative to Erosion Control in the
Kingsview Heights Development.
Back when this was first brought to our attention we did contact the developer
and he did go over his erosion control fence and repaired what was necessary.
On June 2, 1986, we called the developer's engineer and directed him to have
Juneau Lane swept as it was getting rather dirty.

SUBJECT: Resident Complaint
Tom and Eunice Goodrich
County Road 15 and Magnolia Lane
Maria Vasiliou submitted on May 19, 1986 a drainage complaint that was voiced
by the Goodrichs who live on County Road 15, just East of Magnolia, on the
South side of the street.
Evidently when the bike trail was constructed several years ago, the existing
"blacktop curb" was removed and not replaced. They are complaining that the
water runs off County Road 15 onto their yard. We investigated the situation
this morning and once we get our street contractor in town working, we have a
unit price for bituminous curb and we will have the curb installed. It was
left out of the trail construction because the Engineer felt that it wasn't
necessary because of the small amount of area contributing to the run-off.
Their house sits two houses removed from the corner, which is about the crest
of the hill. Also, I understand that the project was tight on funds, and
therefore, marginal type items were not done. We will have to put curbing in
from the corner of Magnolia, going easterly to a point past their driveway. I
would hope we could get the work done sometime within the next 30 to 60 days.

Revision of Traffic Signal
County Road 6 and Vicksburg Lane
Councilmember Maria Vasiliou received a telephone call from a resident concerning
the modification to the traffic signal at County Road 6 and Vicksburg Lane.
Hennepin County is to be modifying the signal to provide for a separate left turn
movement on County Road 6 and also on Vicksburg Lane. This work was to be completed
during the 1985 construction season, but because of an error in ordering the proper
controller by the County the work was not completed.
I have discussed the revisions to this traffic signal with Wayne Matsumoto, the
person responsible for traffic signal construction for the Hennepin County
Department of Transportation.
Mr. Matsumoto has informed me that they now have received all of the equipment they
need to make the modification to the signal. This is one of their top priority
projects, but because of roadway construction that is underway requiring revisions
and modifications of existing traffic signals their work crews have had to devote
time to these other construction projects. These construction projects involve the
moving of existing signal posts or control cabinets to clear the work area for
contractors.
The County has begun installing the traffic detectors within the roadway on County
Road 6 and Vicksburg Lane. The County is expecting to complete the signal
modification by July 1, 1986.

Recycling Pickup Did Not Occur -

This address was located in Recycling Pickup Area No. 3 and should
have been picked up on Thursday, May 29th. It was called in and the
street address was given to the recycling hauler on Friday as having
been missed. The recycling hauler was supposed to pick it up on
Friday the 30th.
I again received a call on Monday, June 2nd stating that the items had
not yet been picked up and I gave an additional list to the hauler of
which this house number was included to be picked up Monday afternoon.
I also called Mrs. Meyers and talked to one of her- sons who agreed to
put the items out at the curb.
On Thursday, June 5th, this morning, I again received a call from Mrs.
Meyers stating that the items had not been picked up as of this date.
She stated that her husband had taken the newspapers to the Scouts, or
to a drop-off area and that she would keep the bottles and cans, one
bag of each, until the next pickup date.
I will again attempt to find out from the hauler why this address had
not been picked up. It should be noted that this is the first month
for this contractor. In my opinion he did not have an adequate amount
of equipment and he has assured me that that will be corrected next
month.

Landscape Planning at Berkshire Lane/County Road 61 -
Carlson Center 3rd Addition
File 81002
Councilmember Maria Vasiliou has received a telephone call from Russ Naharniak, who
lives at 414 Berkshire Lane, with regard to landscaping and planting along Berkshire
Lane. This portion of Berkshire Lane is within the Carlson Center 3rd Addition and
lies between Old County Road 15 and County Road 61. This street was recently
improved as part of a public improvement project upon petition from the developer,
Carlson Companies, Inc.
There have been no provisions within the project for berming or landscaping along
this residential street.
Along the East side of Berkshire Lane are five existing single family residential
homes. The West side of the street is the area of Carlson Center 3rd Addition which
has been platted into four building sites. On the most southerly lot there is also
an existing single family home. The other three lots will have double units built
upon them.
Although the plat has been approved, before the double units can be built, it will
require a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan approval by the City Council. As of
the present time the developer has not submitted an application for this approval.
As part of the Site Plan the City Council could require landscaping or berming along
Berkshire Lane or Cheshire Lane, the street which lies immediately behind the new
lots in the Carlson Center 3rd Addition.
During the review and approval process of the Carlson Center Addition the developer
or their engineer had several meetings with the property owners along this street.
The City was not present or did not take part in any of these meetings. If
commitments were made for landscaping or berming, it would have been a part of these
meetings because the City has taken no action with regard to landscaping. This
action will be a part of the Site Plan approval.

Community Improvement Reminder No. 5 stated that a resident had
noticed a problem with replacement recycling bags not being left.
The contract with the hauler for picking up of recyclables states that
a replacement bag will be left whenever one is taken. The agreement
with the hauler was that we would put this in the contract, but that
we would not advertise that fact with the public, therefore, the
public has never been promised that we would leave a new recycling
bag. We do, however, give anyone who comes in to the counter
requesting replacement bags a new bag. It has also been published in
the Plymouth on Parade that new bags are available at the City Center
Building. The recycling hauler was given two new bags and
specifically told to drop them at this address in any case.

SUBJECT McDONALD'S DRIVE-IN
Maria Vasiliou called me Friday afternoon to point out that the City
may not be enforcing the "no parking" prohibition on Circle Drive in
front of McDonald's. Over the noon hour she went by and noted that
there were numerous vehicles including trucks parked on the street and
that traffic seeking to enter the premises was stacked up. When she
passed the store approximately 45 minutes later, the situation had not
really improved.
Dick, it seems that this area is going to require the same sort of
"treatment" that we gave the area around Arby's/Judy's. I would
appreciate your having your officers try to be there during the noon
hours periodically during the next several weeks to issue tags as may
be required.
By copy of this memo I am alerting Blair to the possibility that the
business activity at the McDonald's site may have reached or even
exceeded its site limitations. If this is the case, then we should
notify McDonald's of our observations and further note that they
should take some responsible action to correct their site parking
problems, and further that the City will be taking aggressive enforce-
ment action to enforce the no parking on the streets.

SUBJECT McDonald's Drive-in
=-fib
On 6/3/86 I had opportunity to speak with the assistant manager at the
McDonalds located at 2705 Annapolis Circle. I expressed to her the
City's intentions of strictly enforcing the no parkinq signs in front
of subject business. I was not surprised to find that the assistant
manager was unaware of any major parking problems as her focus of
attention at that time of day is focused on customer service. I did
inform her however, that enforcement action would be taking effect
immediately.
For the three days of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, myself as well
as the area car had the opportunity to monitor traffic at McDonalds
during the noon time rush. On Tuesday June 3, 1986, three citations
were issued to violators, On June 4; 1986 no violators were cited and
on June 5, 1986 one violator was cited. During this noon time period,
I did observe what appeared to be congestive traffic at the main
entrance to McDonalds. However, this congestion is the line up for the
drive -up window which is located on the west side of the establishment.
Officer observed at least eight cars waiting in line on Annapolis Circle
however, within a three minute time period, the end of the line was well
within McDonald's parking lot. This was during the high peak - 1200-1215
hour time frame. I did not observe that any of the parking violations
actually hampered ingress or egress from the establishment.
It appears to me that if the City were to allow parking on the south side of
Annapolis Circle, starting at the cul-de-sac at the west furthest point
around the corner to 30 feet south of Campus Drive, the majority of the
traffic problems would be alleviated. The major traffic problem at this
time is that the street is posted no parking and that when people park
they do violate that law, however, the parking in that of itself does not
appear to me to be of any hazard or contribute to congestion. It also goes

Dear Ms. Stepp:

It has been brought to our attention that over the noon hour vehicles, including
trucks, are parking on the public roads joining the above -referenced facility. Please
be reminded that these adjoining public roads have been posted "No Parking." This
letter is written to request your cooperation in properly informing your customers that
the parking of their vehicles should be within your parking lot.
The Plymouth Police Department will be enforcing the "no parking" regulations more
agressively in order to reach compliance with these provisions.
Should you determine that additional on-site directional signage is required, please
feel free to contact us for confirmation of the Zoning Ordinance provisions for such
signage. In other areas of the City, similar type restaurants have installed signage
discouraging the use of large semi -trucks on their sites.
Considering the cooperation you provided regarding the plantings within the
right-of-way for State Highway 55, I trust that your prompt attention will be directed
to resolving this matter. We appreciate any positive measures that you can take.

NORTHWEST HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL USE OF CITY'S COPYING EQUIPMENT
In a recent Council information memorandum, you noted that we had
received a letter from David Wagner of the Northwest Hennepin Human
Services Council expressing his appreciation for our permitting them
to use the City's copying equipment. You asked for some additional
details with respect to this matter. I talked to Mr. Wagner and was
informed that they did use the City's copying equipment in April to
produce approximately 2,000 copies of public hearing notices. The
balance of the copies were made on equipment of Golden Valley. The
copies were made after normal City Hall business hours and the
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council provided their own paper and
operator. I spoke with Dale Hahn as to what type of cost would be
involved in producing 2,000 copies on our machine. He informs me that
the City's contract with the Kodak Company provides a minimum fee for
the first 50,000 copies, with a lower cost for copies between 50,000
and 100,000 per month. We apparently always exceed the 50,000
threshold and rarely go beyond 100,000 in month. The costs per copy
Is $ 0.003 or $6.00 for 2,000.
I trust this responds to your inquiry. If you have any other
questions regarding it, please let me know.

Dear Mayor and City Council,
I am a resident in the city of Plymouth at 4805 Quinwood Lane.
Our home is located across from the Tammie Middlemist addition.
New home construction is now in process in this addition.
I am writing this letter in concern for the safety of my children and
all other children on our street. -Every day we get added traffic of
huge trucks delivering lumber, builders, excavators, etc. not to mention
excess traffic from people going to and from work and young drivers
enjoying what they think might be a race track. Nottoo many of these
added vehicles and drivers obey any kind of driving etiquette or laws.
Our street used to be a dead end road so I admit we are not yet used
to the added traffic. However, I feel that these people should be
warned or reminded that there are children in the neighborhood, and
they could have a little more respect for those who live there.
I would like to know if signs could be posted to let these drivers
know children are around and to be more considerate. Although we try
to keep our children off the road as any parent would, there might be
one day when they will be there.
I would hate to have even one child injured or killed because of
their careless driving. Especially my own.
Could I please have a response on this either by mail or phone?
Thank you,
? �a �� 1

SUBJECT
Last evening I received a call from Mr. Earl Hanke, 11710 28th Ave.
No., Phone 559-9088 (home), 938-2751 (work). Mr. Hanke's concerns
are about the appraised value of his home and his communications
with our Assessment Department.
The chain of events, as I understand it, was as follows:
1. He was concerned about substantial (10-20%) increases in
1985 and 1986 (he lives on Medicine Lake and I tried to
explain what has happened to the value of-lakeshore
property).
2. A few weeks ago a realtor gave Mr. Hanke an estimated
selling price approximately $12,000 less than the city's
estimated market value.
3. On May 20, the day of our Board of Review, one of our
assessors was at Mr. Hanke's home. Our assessor (Mr. Hanke
did not remember a name) stated his confidence in the
city's estimate. Mr. Hanke stated he intended to appeal
but was disuaded after the assessor told him that the Board
of Review could increase the valuation.
4. Yesterday Mr. Hanke met with Scott Hovet at City Hall.
According to Mr. Hanke, Scott came on to him rather
strongly telling Mr. Hanke that the assessed value was
correct. Mr. Hanke stated that Scott told him that he
could get the value changed by a "fee appraisal."
I told Mr. Hanke that as I understood the law, it is now too late
to have the 1986 valuation changed because he did not appear at the
Board of Review or protest in writing. I encouraged him to
formally protest in 1987 if he felt the 1987 estimated value was
too high.
My concerns include Mr. Hanke being, or at least feeling,
discouraged from appealing and his feeling of Scott coming on too
strongly. Mr. Hanke is a long-term resident (about 20 years). He
believes his appraised value is too high for an older home.
Jim, please look into this and let me know what you learn. I told
Mr. Hanke I would get back to him in a week to 10 days.

SUBJECT g,ART HANKE'S COMPLAINT T®tOUGH DAVE CRAM
On May 20th, 1986, (the day of the Board of Review opening), Mr. Hanke came to the
front counter and approached Mary Anderson with a realtor's "market analysis" of his
home which had a value of $90,000. It also stated that his land is worth $60,000.
Our 1986 land value is $42,000.
In the market analysis the realtor gave him were 6 comparables, only one of which is
lakeshore property such as his. The sale price of it was considerably higher than
his 1986 market value of $102,700. Our value was arrived at from several lakeshore
sales that occurred on his side of the lake.
Mr. Hanke's primary concern was the increase in value he received over last year.
It should be pointed out that his lakeshore lot was increased 25% as was all
lakeshore land. In his value increase is also a room addition finished during the
year 1985 which added another $7,800 of market value. Mr. Hanke was very irate at
the time and refused to listen to any of the facts as several members of my staff
tried to point out in regard to his valuation.
Since we could not solve his problem at the counter, I agreed to send Mike Carroll
to his home for a re -inspection. Upon Mike's return to the office, he explained in
detail what was said at the Hanke residence and that Mr. Hanke is a very difficult
person to deal with. Mike told him as I did, that he is welcome at the Board of
Review and their power could sustain, lower, or raise his 1986 market value. He was
informed of this many times. He chose to hear only that they could raise his value.
As you will recall, on June 3rd, 1986, Mr. Hanke had several conversations with
different staff members in the building including yourself. I personally spent over
one hour on two different phone calls with him trying to resolve his problems.
=-,-I -;�
June S, 1986
Page 2
Earl Hanke Memo
During those conversations among other options, I told him if he would secure a "fee
appraisal" from a designated appraiser, and if it was lower than his 1986 value, I
would lower his value. Some of the other options I mentioned were tax court, the
public hearings at the legislature, and protesting before the 1987 Board of Review.
Also during those conversations he made accusations and statements which were
entirely taken out of context from which he was told.
I expressed deep regret to Mr. Hanke, but there are other avenues he may pursue to
resolve his problems which I have pointed out to him. It's unfortunate that he
feels he is being abused by our system.
I personally feel that myself and all the staff members involved, treated Mr. Hanke
as kindly and fairly as we possibly could.

Plymouth Licensed Garbage Haulers
Gentlemen:
This letter is to advise you that the City of Plymouth has had
curbside collection of recyclables in effect for the last two months.
During April collections the City received sporadic reports of
recycling items being picked up by a garbage collector. During the
May collections this was confirmed when a garbage truck operator was
actually seen collecting the recyclables on the entire block; this in
spite of the City's specially designed bag with "Plymouth Recycler"
in large letters printed on the bags and the otherwise easily
recognizable recycled items, i.e. cans, bottles, and newspaper.
The City of Plymouth has a contract hauler to collect these recycled
items which, after being separated from the normal garbage and placed
at the curb have some monitary value. The City's Anti—Scavenger
Ordinance specifically prohibits anyone other than the City's
contract recycling hauler from taking these recycled items, to do so
is stealing.
Please take the necessary action to inform your drivers that further
actions of this nature will be grounds for prosecution as well as
placing the license to operate in this City in jeopardy. The City's
current recycling days are the last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of each month.
Thank you.

SUBJECT: Homeowner Association Recommendations for Improving the
1987 Spring Clean Up Program
Dear Mr. Jorgenson:
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 encouraging
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" including 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.

During the 1987/1988 budget cycle, the City Council is going 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 July 7 in order that your ideas can be
considered during our budget discusTons. You are welcome to share your
Ideas with the Council in person at the budget hearing scheduled for 7:30

1986 SPRING CLEAN UP PROGRAM GUIDELINES: Rev, 4/86
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.
6. To arrange to conduct a clean up program a homeowner association must
fully complete and mail the application form to:
Plymouth City Center
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN 55447
Attn: Steve Barg or dim Becker
Community Service Officers

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is Hennepin County's plan for management of solid waste in the
planning period between year 1985 and year 2000. This plan is required by
Minnesota Statutes. It was prepared with the extensive participation of an
advisory committee, and was drafted to be consistent with the Metropolitan
Council's Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plan (March 14, 1985).
This report sets forth existing solid waste facilities and estimates waste
quantities in the county. It's estimated approximately 960,000 tons per year of
solid waste is generated in Hennepin County, and this amount will increase to
approximately 1,000,000 tons per year by year 2000.
This report sets forth planned programs and facilities to racy -O& materials which
generally are recyclable and to burn those wastes which are not recyclable. This
plan also indicates a small amount of waste will be handled by waste reduction
programs.
Up to 80 percent of the county's waste will be processed in central processing
facilities such as waste -to -energy plants. At these plants solid waste would be
burned and its energy value recovered in the form of electric power and/or steam
for heating buildings or for industrial processes. These facilities include a
County -sponsored plant to be built by a qualified private corporation under
contract with the county, and three facilities proposed by three local companies.
The county -sponsored -waste -to -energy facility (called the Greyhound plant) to be
located at the site of the former Greyhound bus maintenance building near
downtown Minneapolis, will burn 365,000 tons of solid waste per year. Electric
power generated at this plant will be sold to an electric utility, and steam will
be used for heating downtown Minneapolis buildings. Hennepin has signed a
construction and operating agreement with a limited partnership, of which Blount
Energy Resource Corp. is the general partner. Bonds will be sold by early 1986
to finance construction, which is scheduled to start in mid -1986. Full operation
is scheduled for 1989.
Four transfer stations - in Bloomington, Hopkins, south Minneapolis and Brooklyn
Park, will be built to provide convenient disposal points as part of the
waste -to -energy system and to reduce traffic at the Greyhound plant. The county
will adopt an ordinance directing that all waste - with several exceptions - be
delivered to the transfer stations or the Greyhound plant. The Greyhound plant
construction costs will be approximately $70 million, and transfer station
construction costs will total approximately $18 million. At the time of
start-up, waste haulers will be charged between $32 to $42 per ton to dispose of
waste at the transfer stations or the Greyhound plant.
Three other energy -recovery facilities proposed to be built by the Reuter
Company, Richards Asphalt Company, and Waste Energy Systems combined will handle
another 700 tons per day of the county's waste. These facilities are not
sponsored by the county but are being developed and financed independently. If,
for any reason, any or all of these privately proposed facilities are not built,
county contingency plans call for the county to evaluate and sponsor additional
waste -to -energy plants, to keep future use of landfill space to a minimum.
01 e report also specifies plans to recycle approximately 16 percent of the waste
F generated in the county - the Metropolitan Council's recycling goal for the
county. Minnesota Statutes require the county to set specific recycling goals
for each city of the first, second, and third class. At the recommendation of
the county's advisory committee, the county has set a uniform 16 percent
%recycling goal for all cities in the county. The main element of the county's
recycling plan is a county contract with a single business entity which would
have the capacity to provide - in all cities in Hennepin County, - on -route
collection (curbside collection) of all recyclables and yard waste at least once
• or twice per month. For the forseeable future, such collection would be directed
at single-family homes through four-plexes, though apartment buildings could be
brought in later. The purpose of the county -wide recycling contractor is to
preclude the need -for each city in the county to obtain necessary staff and
funding; and develop, operate, manage, and publicize a recycling program.
It is contemplated the county's recycling contractor would be a single business
entity which may be comprised of a number of companies in the Hennepin County
area. Most would be garbage -collection companies and, therefore, experienced in
providing reliable collection services. The county would fund the cost of this
contract - estimated to be between $6 million and $8 million per year by through
valorem taxes, supplemented by county and state landfill tax proceeds.
Cities opting to maintain or start their own curbside recycling program would
have their costs reimbursed by the county, as if the county contractor would be
providing the services. The county would also establish recycling buy-back
centers and evaluate actions to develop more recycling in the
commercial/industrial sector.
The plan contains strict policies regarding future landfill siting and
operations, and favors expansion of existing landfills over start-up of a
landfill at a new site.
There are now many monitoring and reporting requirements by Minnesota Statutes
and the Metropolitan Council, and this report indicates how the county will
monitor programs and facilities. The overall goal of this plan is to end the use
of sanitary landfills for unprocessed solid waste by 1990, and at the same time
establish, with maximum private industry involvement, safe and effective landfill
disposal alternatives.

Dear Mr. Schulz:
CITY OF
PUMOUTR
qC�
Thank you for submitting a Public Service Counter Customer Comment Card. In your card
you expressed concern regarding the permit issuance process. As you know we recently
computerized our permit system in order to develop more effective and accurate record
keeping while simplifying our filing system. Your concern is with regard to the time
required to receive a permit and to schedule an inspection.
We want to make every effort possible to simplify the permit issuance process
consistant with our statutory responsibilities. For this reason the City recently
implemented a "one stop processing" procedure for residential permits, which operates
daily from 9 A.M. to 10 A.M. Applications received during this hour are processed
immediately; those received after 10 A.M. can be picked up the following day. As you
may know, the State Building Code requires persons doing work authorized by a permit,
to notify the administrative authority up to 24 hours before such inspection is
desired.
Let me assure you that our objective is to provide the best possible public service
to our customers consistent with our responsibility for fulfilling our legal
obligations. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Joe Ryan
Building Official
