Among the Committee's agenda items, was the discussion and recommendation of proposed 1987 budgets for the various transit systems operating in the metropolitan area for RTB action. The total Plymouth Metrolink budget for 1986 is $355,200. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM December 5, 1986 Page four This includes some $45,000 for the City of Plymouth, Park and Ride lot improvements, maintenance, administrative fees, and advertis- ing. Actual service delivery costs are $310,200. In 1987, we proposed a status quo budget of $369,200; $40,500 of which would be set aside for the City, and $328,500 for transit operating services. Subsequent to supplying the Board with these figures, in November the weather turned cold and commuter ridership increased substantially to the point where it has been necessary to add a bus from the Park and Ride lot downtown or lose the additional rider- ship. To promote the continued growth of Plymouth Metrolink, we advised the Regional Transit Board that we would be amending our 1987 projections accordingly and supplying them with a letter to this effect as soon as possible. We expect the additional service will require $38,000 more in operating costs for a total of $366,500 in operating fees. With the addition of the City's costs of $40,500, the total anticipated 1987 project costs would be $407,000. dim Johnson is to confirm these figures by letter early next week. Following action by the Regional Transit Board, we will submit the 1987 Plymouth Metrolink contracts and budget to the City Council for approval. The budgeted revisions should not affect Plymouth's status with respect to tax feathering. 5. MINUTES: a. Park and Recreation Advisory Commission, November 13, 1986 (I -5a) b.

The ramps and retaining walls are necessary because the ballfields are on different elevations. Our maintenance crews will do the basic grading of the site.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:54 p.m. THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS November 18, 1986 The Regular Meeting of the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals was called to order at 8:00 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Marofsky, Commissioners Quass, Anderson, Mellen, Cornelius and Musatto MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Bigelow STAFF PRESENT: Associate Planner Al Cottingham and Building Official Joe Ryan MINUTES MOTION was made by Commissioner Quass, seconded by Commissioner Musatto to approve the October 21, 1986 Minutes. VOTE. 6 Ayes. Motion carried. NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Marofsky introduced the Board Members and reviewed the variance criteria as contained in the Zoning Ordinance. The request submitted by The Montessori School of Wayzata Bay was introduced and staff explained the petitioner called to withdraw the application. No action is required by the Board. The request submitted by Mr. & Mrs. Jack Gustafson was introduced for a variance from the minimum Shoreland Management setback and the minimum building side yard setback for property located at 305 Sycamore Lane North. Mrs. Jack Gustafson distributed copies of the survey showing the requested variances and summarized the request. She explained the topography of the site and the numerous mature trees that they are trying to save with the house location. She commented they thought the setback was measured from the lake which when walking from the lakeshore to the house,it is approximately 80 feet. The house is approximately 30 feet above the elevation of the lake and they were unaware that the distance is measured in a straight line rather than up the hill. She further stated they are not attempting to locate the house any closer to the lake but just wanted to have the view. Chairman Marofsky read the correspondence received from the property owner at 310 Sycamore Lane stating they believed the variance could be granted since these people were attempting to preserve trees and this would not harm the lake. 5b MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES OF OCT. 21, 1986 MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF WAYZATA BAY, WITHDRAWN MR. do MRS. JACK GUSTAFSON, 305 SYCAMORE LANE. VARIANCE FROM MIN. SHORELAND MANAGEMENT SETBACK AND MIN. BUILDING SIDE YARD SETBACK Page two Board of Zoning Minutes November 18, 1986 Marilyn Swenson of 13112 Sunset Trail stated she is concerned where the new house is being located, since it would hamper their view of the lake. The Board discussed the layout and how it would hamper the view of the lot to the west. They also discussed where this house could be located without need for any variances. Mrs. Gustafson commented they were proposing a flat roof home in hopes that it would not impair the view of the lake for homes to the west. This location was staked after some discussion with the City as to the setbacks from the lake. Staff explained that the petitioner's representatives did not specify in which subdivision they were in when they the called the City for setbacks, since the subdivision reference book for Humphrey Estates clearly states that the building setbacks are 75 feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark. Commissioner Musatto inquired if the petitioner's builder has built in Plymouth before. Mrs. Gustafson responded they had not and this may be why there was some misunderstanding in the location of the house on the lot. The Board discussed the basis for variances which were granted for properties to the east. They recalled that they granted an encroachment into the front yard setbacks in order to lessen the impact of homes upon the lake. MOTION was made by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by MOTION TO DENY Chairman Marofsky to deny the request for a variance from the minimum Shoreland Management setback and the minimum building side yard setback for property located at 305 Sycamore Lane North for Mr. and Mrs. Oack Gustafson for the reasons stated in the draft resolution. Commissioner Mellen had concerns with the removal of the trees, changing of the topography and it's effect on the neighbor's view of the lake in denying this variance as submitted. Chairman Marofsky stated that concern should not be with the neighbor's view but with the variance criteria in granting a variance. Commissioner Quass noted the architect should have Investigated the setbacks prior to designing this home for this lot. Page three Board of Zoning Minutes November 18, 1986 Commissioner Musatto stated concerns he had in that the professionals who were designing this house did not check with the City to fully determine the Ordinance required setbacks for this property. VOTE 6 Ayes. MOTION carried. Commissioner Quass inquired if the petitioner wished to consider a different location of the home, by moving it to the north 15 feet. Mrs. Gustafson stated they would be willing,since it would not affect the two oak trees they wanted to save. She requested the Board to consider the adjusted location for approval. Commissioner Mellen believed the petitioner should return to their architect and redesign the home to fit on the lot rather than guessing that this 15 foot relocation would work. Chairman Marofsky stated the moving of the house by 15 feet still leaves a 50 foot setback to the lake rather than the requested 45 feet and Ordinance required 75 feet setback, this was still too much. It was the concensus of the Board that the Gustafsons should redesign their house to fit this lot. Chariman Marofsky explained the right of appeals procedure to Mrs. Gustafson noting that she had 20 days in which to submit an appeal in writing to the City. =- 5b . VOTE -MOTION CARRIED The request submitted by Steven Narr was introduced for a STEVEN NARR 1635 variance from the minimum building side yard setback for DUNKIRK LANE. property located at 1635 Dunkirk Lane North. Mr. Narr VARIANCE FROM reviewed the request noting the State owned the land to the MINIMUM BUILDING SIDE south and that it is not likely this property would be YARD SETBACK. developed. Commissioner Mellen inquired if the porch would extend beyond the side of the home. Mr. Narr responded that the porch would stop at the side of the home with a two foot overhang for the roof. Commissioner Quass inquired about the use of the guest entrance. Mr. Narr explained the guest entrance is a second entrance to the house which leads into the living room rather than the entrance that the family uses which leads into the kitchen. MOTION was made by Commissioner Quass, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE Commissioner Mellen to approve the request for the variance from the minimum building side yard setback for property located at 1635 Dunkirk Lane North for the reasons stated in the draft resolution. Page four Board of Zoning Minutes November 18, 1986 VOTE. 6 Ayes. Motion carried. The request submitted by Terrance Avery was introduced for a variance from the minimum building front yard seback, side yard setback, and lot coverage of 20 percent for property located at 1465 Evergreen Lane North. Mr. Avery reviewed his request noting the setbacks of the neighboring property: homes encroach into the required 10 foot side yard setback in this area. Chairman Marofsky inquired if this home was for Mr. Avery and his family or someone else. Mr. Avery stated it would be for his family. Commissioner Quass inquired if Mr. Avery planned any decks at this time or in the future. Mr. Avery stated no as a deck would ruin the view of the lake; he does plan on having a patio on the back side of the home, for the view of the lake. Chariman Marofsky raised the issue of impervious surface coverage for this parcel in a Shoreland Management area. Staff responded that with the house, a paved driveway and anticipated patio there would be 36.7 percent impervious surface. If the driveway remains unpaved, it would be less than 30 percent. The Board discussed setbacks in the area and the difficulty of maintaining a 10 foot side yard setback, since the adjoining lots encroach that setback. MOTION was made by Commissioner Quass, seconded by Commissioner Cornelius to approve the request for a variance from the minimum building front yard setback, side yard setback, and lot coverage of 20 percent for property located at 1465 Evergreen Lane North for the reasons stated in the draft resolution and by adding Condition #4 which reads, "The shape of the lot is unique to this area and the petitioner is maintaining a greater setback than the neighbors". Chairman Marofsky noted his concerns with the two foot encroachment into the north side property line since the home on the lot to the north is only 1.8 feet back from that property line. Commissioner Mellen expressed concern that this is a substandard lot and the petitioner knew this when he bought the lot and has thus created his own problem. Mr. Avery explained when he bought the lot, he thought he had a 30 foot wide building pad, since on a plat map it showed the lot as 50 feet wide.

VARIANCES FROM THE MINIMUM FRONT YARD SETBACK AND LOT COVERAGE. MOTION TO APPROVE z Sb Page five Board of Zoning Minutes November 18, 1986 Commissioner Anderson noted his concerns with granting a variance for either of the side yard setbacks and the precedent which may be established in doing so. Commissioner Musatto stated he was uncomfortable with this request and the number of variances that were being sought. Commissioner Quass inquired of staff as to what setbacks are in Planned Unit Developments. Staff responded that they vary with some having as little as 6 feet to a non -living area of a dwelling unit. The Planning Commission and City Council have not recently approved lesser setbacks than a 10 foot side yard setback. Roll Call Vote. 2 Ayes. 4 Nays. Chairman Marofsky, ROLL CALL VOTE Commissioners Anderson, Mellen and Musatto voted nay. Motion MOTION FAILED Failed. Mr. Avery requested a change in his requested variances to allow for a two foot encroachment into the side yard setback to the south; maintain a 10 foot setback to the north; an 11 foot encroachment into the front yard setback to Evergreen Lane; a 26 percent lot coverage and a 34 percent impervious surface. The Board discussed this revised plan noting that it would leave some distance between the structure and the home to the north and yet would be an improvement to the area. MOTION was made by Commissioner Musatto, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE Commissioner Quass to approve the request for a variance from the minimum building side yard setback to allow an 8 foot setback to the south property line, from the minimum building front yard setback to allow a 24 foot setback to Evergreen Lane, a 26 percent lot coverage, and a 34 percent impervious surface assuming the driveway were paved, for property located at 1465 Evergreen Lane North.

S b Page six Board of Zoning Minutes November 18, 1986 Mr. Chelte commented they have already spent money on the footings and foundation of this addition prior to the Stop Work Order being issued. He further reviewed his request noting this home is currently a one bedroom home, they need a two bedroom home since their family is growing. Commissioner Cornelius inquired if 2.3 percent of the Bound coverage could be eliminated to give them a 26 percent lot coverage, since a precedent was created on the lot to the north. Commissioner Quass noted his concerns with the size of the bedroom and felt that if it were reduced they could be closer to the 26 percent lot coverage. Commissioner Mellen expressed concern with the number of variances which have already been granted on this property. Chairman Marofsky stated the petitioner knew they needed a variance for the garage and the deck approximately one year ago and thus he should have known they would need a variance for this addition. MOTION was made by Commissioner Cornelius, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE Commissioner Musatto to approve the request for a variance from the minimum building front yard setback, maximum lot coverage of 20 percent, and maximum impervious lot coverage of 30 percent in a Shoreland Management area for property located at 1401 West Medicine Lake Drive for the reasons stated in the draft resolution. Commissioner Quass stated he did not agree with the size of the addition and did not understand why the home was not expanded vertically. Commissioner Anderson did find this request to meet the variance criteria in the Ordinance. Chariman Marofsky explained that the shape of this lot and the fact that it has three front yards, makes it unique along with the size of this parcel compared to other lots in the City. Commissioner Anderson stated the only reason to approve this request is that the Board had just set a precedent for this area with the request previously approved. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. 2 Nays.

While the Act overhauls the entire tax code, it is the provisions relating to the issuance of tax-exempt bonds which are of primary impor- tance to governmental jurisdictions. A major change concerns a new distinction between "governmental bonds" and "private activity bonds," or PAB's. Any bond issue of which more than IO(c of the proceeds is used in the business of a non-governmental unit is considered a PAB. If the private activity is unrelated to the govern- mental use, the cutoff' is 5�''c. This is a tightening of the former IDB test, for which the cutoff had been 25%. Addi- tionally, costs of issuance and reserve fund deposits are subtracted from bond proceeds before the test is ap- plied. The general rule is that PAB's are taxable. However, the Act provides that certain restricted private activi- ties may be financed on a tax-exempt basis. For all tax-exempt PAB's, vari- ous restrictions apply which make structuring and marketing issues much more difficult. These restric- tions include a volume cap of $75 per capita or $250 million per state, which- ever is greater; a 2% cost of issuance limitation; harsh restrictions on tax increrrPnt issues which meet the PAB test; and the extension of the alter- native minimum tax to include tax- exempt interest earned on PAB's. There are two new provisions which apply to both governmental bonds and private activity bonds. The (Continued on back) Market Trends Powerful Bond Market Rally Stalls Municipal Market Reacts to Tax Reform The vigorous bond market rally which drove many key market indi- cators to their lowest points in many %ears early in the summer of 1986 stalled in September as uncer- tainties arose over the course of the economy and prospects for infla- tion. Interest rates rose by half a per- centage point and bond prices took a 5S'( dive. In two days, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the leading stock market indicator, dropped 120 points on record volume. The price of gold, traditionally a barometer of inflation anxiety, rose to its highest level in three years. However, many economists remain confident that these events are temporary aberrations and that long-term prospects for the bond markets remain good. They see continuing low inflation rates and declines in long-term bond rates over the next five years. In the near term, however, the credit markets may be in for a period of more volatility. The pri- mary factor influencing interest rates over the next few months will be the condition of the U.S. eco- nomy. Although there may be some acceleration in economic growth in 1986's fourth quarter, it is expected to be temporary; and 1987 is projected to see a continu- ation of the sluggishness which has characterized the economy in 1986. Federal Reserve policy is likely to concentrate on this factor. and the discount rate may be decreased once more in an attempt to stimulate the economy. The tax-exempt market, by con- trast, has been driven for the most part by a single dominant external force — the prospect of wholesale revisions in the portion of the Internal Revenue Code governing tax-exempt financing wrought by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (see article this page). Because many provisions of the Act carried a September 1 effective date, the month of August saw a rush to the market only slightly less frenetic than the one which occurred at the end of 1985. Municipal bond volume daring the month totalled 524.5 billion, the third highest monthly total ever (Continued on back) Arbitrage Compliance Evensen Dodge Kill assist clients with the arbitrage rebate require- ments of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 These services tvill include assistance i in the jolloiving areas: 1.

Significant record keeping will be required on every issue to assure compliance with this provision since non-compliance may result in bonds being retro- actively made taxable. The second major provision is a 100% disallowance of interest deduc- tion for banks which purchase tax- exempt bonds. A major exception to this second provision allows banks to deduct interest earned on govern- mental bonds and bonds issued by non-profit 501(c)3 organizations when the jurisdiction issues no more than $10 million in a calendar year. Bonds which qualify for this excep- tion are selling very well in the current market and are expected to continue as high -demand issues as banks and underwriters adapt to the new restric- tions contained in the Act. The new law is in effect now, and there are numerous provisions and exceptions which need to be taken into account when planning for future debt issuance. All governmental issuers should meet with their finan- cial advisors and bond counsel to assess their position regarding recently issued bends, as well as new issues under consideration. Market Trends (Continued) (behind only November and Decem- ber of 1985). September volume fell off to $3.77 billion as the market rested after its frantic pace of the previous month and awaited further developments from Washington. Now that tax reform is a reality, the municipal market is hoping for a period of stability so it can adjust to the new rules and so that the effect of the legislation can be more fully evalu- ated. One result has been seen already: tax-exempt yields as a percentage of taxable yields rose to an all-time high during the summer when tax reform uncertainty clouded the outlook for the market. Now that the Act has been passed, the relationship between mulJicipal. and taxable yields has returned to the range maintained before tax reform became a likeli- hood.

Minnesota Statutes, Section 351.02 states that a city council position will become vacant if a Councilmember ceases to be an inhabitant of the city. The Minnesota Attorney General has ruled that a ccuncilmember does not cease to be an inhabitant of the City unless there is evidence of an intention to abandon permanent residency in the City. Whether such an intention exists is manifested by objective factors, such as where that person votes, where his or her children attend school, and the person's mailing address. Physical presence is one factor, but it is not disposititTe. As I understand the facts in Mr. Crain's case, he is a purchaser under a valid real estate purchase agreement for a home in the City of Plymouth. During the four to six week period in which he needs a temporary residence, the majority of his household goods will be in storage, his children will still be attending the same school, his mailing address will be his new home in the City, and he will still be performing all of his normal duties as a City Councilmember.

This was a roll call detail and not a Special Enforcement Project. Seven stationary radar sessions, averaging 30 minutes, have been completed by cars assigned to that area. There were no violations noted that exceeded our tolerance. The other request that was received at the same time, County Road #6 in the area of Troy Lane, was completed previously and the results submitted at that time.

Pat Novy sanitary sewer claim denial. After to take no action on During the course of their discussion, they did express concern about the "lack of basic people skills" exhibited by CNA Insurance Companies in this claim. The Council was concerned that in the first place, the insurance company did not appear to conduct a complete investigation. This perception was fostered by the fact that the insurance company never visited with the claimant in person or by telephone, nor was the site reviewed during the course of the "investigation". The fact of the matter is that most of the investigation was based upon input received from the City. While I recognize that site visitation would add to the length of claims processing, I think that it is essential in many instances. It gives the claimant an opportunity to meet insurance representatives, tell their side of the story, and perhaps, gives the claims representative an opportunity to gather facts that he/she may not receive from the City or prepare the claimant for the insurance company's ultimate answer. The Council recognizes that the insurance company must sometimes be the "bad guy". However, they want to see the adversarial nature of the insurance company/claimant relationship minimized. After all, many of the claimants are Plymouth residents whose tax dollars pay the insurance premium. The Council is not suggesting that the insurance company pay claims unless a clear justification exists. They are asking that CNA take a close look at its methods of claims investigation and claimant relationships to foster a more positive and sensitive image. The insurance company is an agent of the City, and as such, casts an image to the claimant/resident about his or her city government. Please remind the CNA representatives of this fact in their future dealings with claimants. This is an important issue which I would like to discuss with you in person. I will be calling you to set up an appointment. Yours very E ul , Dale E.

The City encourages Plymouth residents to protect themselves from potential loss as a result of sanitary sewer backups In the basement. Each of you can take the following steps to protect your valuables and the community as a whole: 1. Disconnect illegal sump pumps from the sanitary sewer system. Al! such con- nections ars illegal! While Plymouth City Code prohibits such connections, the City is not able to effectively enter individual households and must therefore re+y on homeowners to resolve this problem. 2. Those homeowners who have experienced sanitary sewer backups may wash to purchase and install a backwater device designed to prevent or minimize sewage `ram backing up via your laurdry room drain into the basement. 71'e backwater device is a plastic ball which seats the laundry room drain by Pealing above any water which attempts to pass it in the event of a backup. 8cck .rater devices are available at most hardhare stores. ,. nfil conditions change. homeowners who do not protect themselves by tekirg t! -e ccove steos, may experience sewer backups during periods of ocr+icuicr:y r,-cv1 rain.

The committee will be chaired by former Mayor David 3. Davenport. By way of background, I am enclosing a memo by the City Manager setting forth the Council's charge for this study. You will note that the Council has elected to invite six individuals to assist in this process as a Special Study Committee. The purpose of this committee is to meet with and assist the consultant in the review of information bearing upon the charge. While the charge is broad in its scope, we believe the overall study effort can be completed within a reasonably short period of time. We are particularly Interested, however, in ensuring that the results will guide and assist this Council and the Planning Commission in the future review of various types of community-based facilities. The City Council will be reviewing proposals from three consultants at its December 15 meeting. At that time, or shortly thereafter, I anticipate the Council will select a consultant to formally undertake this project pursuant to the Council's charge. You will note that the consultant is specifically given the responsibility of developing a report for the Planning Commission and City Council.

Willis, City Manager Blair Tremere, Planning and Community Development Director S q 6, CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: November 21, 1986 for City Council Meeting of November 24, 1986 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: dames G. Willis, City Manager SUBJECT STUDY PERTAINING TO THE REGULATION OF ADULT HALFWAY HOUSES, COMMUNITY-BASED RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES AND SIMILAR FACILITIES SUMMARY: Last Monday evening the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing that a consultant be selected to conduct a study pertain- ing to the regulation of adult halfway houses, community-based residential facilities, and similar facilities. At that time, they asked that I prepare a memorandum dealinq with how this task could be completed. I believe that the Council's objective in establishing a special study committee is to provide a mechanism by which a small group of individuals may work with a consultant hired by the City Council to review and evaluate issues relating to the charge of the committee. The approach I suggest would provide a means by which the special study committee would provide input to the consultant, and the consultant would report to the Planning Commission, hopefully within three months. The Planning Commission would review the recommen- dations of the consultant and conduct the required public hearing prior to formulating its own recommendations for consideration by the City Council. I anticipate that these steps could be concluded by May. If such a timetable is feasible, it will allow both the Planning Commission and Council the opportunity of reviewing the Alpha Human Services, Inc. request against any new ordinance criteria prior to June, 1987. I believe the foregoing time table is not overly ambitious and, in fact, could prove conservative. STUDY APPROACH I recommend the City Council retain a single consultant who will be responsible to the Council for the development of a schedule to meet the requirements of the Council's charge. The consultant will be assisted by a special study committee which will provide input directly to the consultant and will react to data and information gathered by the consultant. The consultant will be responsible for the ultimate report submitted to the Planning Commission and City Council. SIUUY FLK IAINING 10 1HE REGULATION OF ADULT HALFWAY HOUSES, COMMUNITY-BASED RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES AND SIMILAR FACILITIES November 21, 1986 Page two The role of the committee members will be to provide historical perspective regarding the City's land use and zoning ordinance regulations as well as other information and ideas they determine to be appropriate. They will also serve to highlight emerging trends and/or concerns in the community with respect to the appropriate regulation of uses such as adult halfway houses, community correction facilities, residential facilities, and community-based residential facilities. This data, along with information gathered by the consultant will be reviewed by the full committee in an effort to arrive at a consensus as to the most appropriate means of regulating such uses within Plymouth. The consultant will consider the data from the committee to assist him in preparing his report; however, the ultimate report submitted to the Planning Commission shall reflect the consultant's professional evaluation of the most appropriate manner in which to regulate the facilities noted. CHARGE TO CONSULTANT The City Council has determined that the City's current Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance do not contemplate or adequately address the classification of uses such as adult halfway houses, community correctional facilities, residential facilities, and community-based residential facilities, nor does the Zoning Ordinance clearly specify how such uses should be regulated within the City. The study under the direction of a consultant, assisted by a Council -appointed Special Study Committee, shall include these matters and report his findings and recommendations to the City Council. The scope of the study shall include, but it is not necessarily limited to the following: 1. The particular planning and zoning districts in which such uses should be allowed as either permitted uses or conditional uses; 2. The population density of clientele at such facilities should serve in the various zoning districts; 3. The concentration and density of such uses; 4. The affect of such uses on other uses in the surrounding area; 5. The affect of proposed out-patient programs on the classifi- cation and regulation of such uses. Upon completion of the study, the consultant shall make a report to the Planning Commission which shall include recommendations regarding the adoption of a comprehensive set of regulations applicable to such uses throughout the City. SIUUY VLKIAINING IU IFIL KLGULA110N OF ADULT HALFWAY HOUSES, COMMUNITY-BASED RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES AND SIMILAR FACILITIES November 21, 1986 ..i.r Page three The consultant is not charged with the responsibility of evaluating any specific application now pending with the City or which might be submitted to the City during the moratorium period. The Council has placed a moratorium on the development of such uses in Plymouth until after this study has been completed and any amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Ordinance are adopted following public hearing for the City's Planning Commission. It is appropriate therefore that the work of the committee and consultant be initiated and completed as soon as it is reasonably feasible. The City Council shall hire a consultant to be responsible for executing the aforementioned charge. The consultant will be assisted by a special citizens committee, whose role it shall be to serve as a resource to the consultant, review the ongoing work of the consultant, and provide continuing input as the consultant develops the final report and recommendations. STUDY COMMITTEE The Special Study Committee would have five members and is proposed to have the following composition: 1 - Planning Commissioner 2 - Former City Council members and/or former Planning Commissioners 1 - Citizen -at -large 1 - Human Service planning agency representative 1 - Administrator, or representative, of a non -Plymouth suburban residential facility Neither person selected to represent the latter two positions on the Special Study Committee shall be, or have been, involved with Alpha Human Services, Inc., or actively involved in a group organized in the opposition of the Alpha Human Services request. Representatives of these groups will, of course, be allowed to make presentations to the Planning Commission at the appropriate time. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT Routine administrative and technical services will be available to the Study Committee and Consultant throught the Community Development Department. Services would typically incude scheduling meetings, preparation and sending notices, agendas, and summary minutes; provid- ing technical information about current plans and ordinances; and monitoring the progress of the research and study preparation.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE December 3, 1986 TO: James G. Willis, City Managers f FROM: Milt Dale, Associate Planner SUBJECT Breakfast meeting on Friday, December 5, 1986 with Jelle DeBoef and Bruce Larson to discuss the role of City Staff and West Hennepin Human Services (WHHS) and administration of the House Doctor Program in Plymouth Friday morning at 7:30 I will be meeting with Bruce Larson, staff person on the West Hennepin Human Services Board and Jelle DeBoef, our Council appointee on the Governor's Community Energy Council who has been elected acting chairman of the Energy Council. Recently, Mr. DeBoef called me to express displeasure that City Staff was not attending committee meetings with the Community Energy Council. It was his opinion that Plymouth interests need to be protected by having a staff person present, especially inasmuch as Tonka Bay had their City Clerk and some very active, vocal committee members in attend- ance. Over the phone, I tried to assure Mr. DeBoef that each of the three municipali- ties are guaranteed that 50 homes would have conservation related improvements done and that it was not required that City Staff attend committee meetings. (He was not over- whelmed by my logic.) That same day I encouraged Bruce Larson, the WHHS staff person, to call Mr. DeBoef to set-up a meeting where we could discuss the City and WHHS roles more fully. Mr. Larson is in agreement with me as to strategy on this matter, however I want to relate to you, in advance, the points I would like to stress with Jelle DeBoef at our breakfast meet- ing. These points are as follows: 1. WHHS staff, i.e. Bruce Larson and his other staff personnel, are working as admini- strative arm for this program and basically serve as adjunct staff for the City on this particular project. 2. The Govenor's Community Energy Council is not to be divisive in nature, i.e. with Tonka Bay, St. Louis Park and Plymouth vying for any special consideration for additional services over another community. (There are no special "favors" to be granted in any case.) 3. The Plymouth City Council and City Staff has confidence in members appointed by the City Council to serve as a committee without a need for frequent City Staff involvement. 4. Resolution No. 86-530 indicates that members of the Govenor's Community Energy Council are directly accountable to the City Council's three communities. Memo to James G. Willis December 3, 1986 Page two 5. The nature of the House Doctor Program is to serve the conservation improvement needs of 50 eligible home owners and City Staff has agreed to assist West Hennepin Human Services staff in locating prospective homeowners within the City, If you have any suggestions as to how to "defuse" this situation, I would appreciate it. Basically, I think Mr. DeBoef has been a little overwhelmed by Tonka Bay's "charge" forward and he is concerned Plymouth may be "left out". (Incidentally, St. Louis Park has yet to have any of its committee members or City Staff show -up at meetings.) cc: File CITY OF PLYMOUTH S-,�k C-0 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special meeting of the City Council of the City of Plymouth, Minnesota, was held on the nth day of August . 1986.

The program is an alternative to sending DWI offenders to the workhouse and at the same time provide them with an intense education and awareness program. Four years ago I was instrumental in establishing a 2 -day pro- gram._ for Anoka County DWI offenders which incorporated punishment and education.- During my 3z years with Anoka County I was involved with approximately 10,000 individuals from Anoka and Ramsey Counties. In Hgnnepin County this would equate to almost $1,380,000.00 spent in tax dollars to send offenders%to the workhouse. Our program is primarily designed for the first time DWI offenders and they, not the city, pay for the 38 -hour residential program. After you review the information provided, I would appreciate the opportunity to speak to you and, if possible, to the city council to answer questions and, at the same time to become more aware of how we can better serve you and your community. incerely, Don F.

Therefore, 1 believe at this point Mr. Young, is, sear ch i r,g out r ,� r ket i ng,, contacts to get his new bus i neE s off the ground. T believe that there may he some merit to the concept that Mr. Young is proposing. Yet I an. s4er-rt.ical whether we would be saving any money. In all likelihood, offsett- ing costs, such as tele overall fine money, could be reduced by the judges in order to allow the person to pay his way to the proposed 2 -day school, while at the same time we would not be paying the 2 -day Workhouse fees. The end result could be a "wash". It appears to me at first blush then that if this scenario is correct, the overall savings to Hennepin County taxpayers would not materialize. In the final analysis, decisions to support this type of program should be based more on actual success statistics rather than potential dollar savings. RJC:g�, Enclosure SAM S.
