LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID -- Last Wednesday, Bob Renner representing the MLC, and I met with Bill Schrieber to further discuss the local government aid (LGA) issue. Bill will be introducing his tax bills in the next several days. A hearing is going to be held Tuesday morning on his proposed LGA bill in the House Tax Committee. I will be present at that meeting. The MLC Operating Committee met Friday morning to discuss the general outline of the new LGA proposal. This proposal has been developed by Representative Tomlinson and Schreiber and hopefully will develop a reasonably broad base of support. The MLC Operating Committee will be recommending that the MLC Board of Directors endorse the new proposal at its special meeting next Wednesday. The 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 %- JL l T %-vvm1L 11Vrunnni iLvivu_ r1LMU1tMWUM April 12, 1985 Page 2 Coalition of Outstate Cities is expected to support it. Preliminary indications from Minneapolis indicate that they too may support it, even though they would not receive an increase in 1986. The proposal would modify the present LGA formula in a significant way. Essentially, the formula would base LGA on the fiscal need of the community, represented by a three year average of the community's levy and LGA funds on a per capita basis, minus the local effort represented in a mill rate, times the fiscal capacity which is the adjusted assessed value. The attached table illustrates how this would function. Based upon data prepared by the State, Plymouth's fiscal need per capita is $131, while our local effort mill rate is 12.43. The proposed bill assumes an additional 6% state funding for LGA, a maximum increase of 10% for any community and finally, grandfathering all cities which are receiving more local government aid than the new formula would allow. Under this scenario, Plymouth would be capped at a 10% increase above our current allocation of $346,121 or $387,733. If there were sufficient funds to fully fund the proposed formula, our LGA allocation would increase to slightly more than $825,000. I hope to have more information on this subject for the Council on Monday evening. (Attach - I-1) 2. COMMUNITY SURVEY -- Decision Resources, Ltd. (DRL) will commence its community telephone survey this Sunday evening and will complete the work by Wednesday evening. DRL callers will contact 400 random households in the community during this survey. Councilmembers may anticipate receiving inquiries from friends or neighbors who may be among those asked to participate in the survey. 3. COMPARABLE WORTH -- Wednesday morning I testified before the Senate Governmental Operations Commmittee with respect to S.F. 438. This bill authored by Senator Merriam would exclude firefighters, police officers and certain other "essential" employees from the comparable worth study process. At the hearing, Senator Merriam introduced an amendment which, while leaving police officers and firefighters under comparable worth for study purposes, would not provide for the results of comparable worth studies to be used in arbitration in the event of impasse in collective bargaining. Committee members were not previously aware of this amendment and that created some minor confusion. The Committee members did recognize the impact of the proposed amendment and they accepted it, but did not act to approve it. Senator Donald Moe indicated his desire to study the Merriam amendment with certain modifications. His modifications would have the effect of requiring arbitrators to consider equity compensation relationship standards pursuant to comparable worth studies. I believe a majority of the committee would support that position. Due to lack of time, however, Senator Moe laid over further consideration of the bill until a subsequent meeting, presumably next Wednesday. l.1 1 I %-UVM1L LFW UnM I lUJJM- MtMUKMt)UM April 12, 1985 Page 3 4. BOYER PALMER CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITY -- Thursday I received a call from Mr. Gary Bidne reporting that Mr. Palmer has had discussions with the St. Therese Home in New Hope with respect to assuming the management of his proposed facility. Gary told me that St. Therese currently has a waiting list of more than 160. He also inquired as to whether or not the Council might have modified its position with regard to tax exempt financing, particularly if someone like St. Therese were to be involved, and I informed him that the Council has not and probably, would not, reconsider its position with respect to the use of tax exempt financing for this facility. 5. LLOYD RICKER APPOINTED TO SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOMN -- Loyd has just received an appointment to the Special Review Committee (SRC) of the Government Finance Officers Association.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: April 11, 1985 TO: James G. Willis, City Manager FROM: Laurie Houk, Clerk SUBJECT RECYCLING PROGRAMS SUMMARY: Earlier this year the City Council asked that a report be prepared summarizing the solid waste recycling programs which have been initiated by metropolitan area cities. Below is a summary of the programs in operation in Richfield, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, and Minneapolis. This report is presented for Council information and will be filed until completion of the residential survey. At that time the Council may wish to explore in more detail the possibility of initiating a program. RICHFIELD 1. Type of program - They started out coordinating the pick up of newspapers only with local churches and scout troops which were already doing it regularly. This was working well so they expanded to include bottles and cans in 1/3 of the City. Residents place these items on the curb in paper bags. The City contracted with Recycling Unlimited for this. 2. Costs - The City provided part time person to coordinate and promote the program. They had $10,000 of CDBG money to start and are asking for another $10,000 for next year. 3. Assessment of program - They have 15-20% of the households served by the program participating. Residents in the 2/3 of City which doesn't have recycling of bottles and cans are asking to be part of the program. The City intends to expand to include them in August when they begin the second year of the program. 4. Changes - The only thing they recommended was that the City put more effort in promoting the program before beginning it. Recycling Program April 11, 1985 Page 2 ST. LOUIS PARK 1. Type of program - Before they started the program, they had a consulting company conduct a telephone survey of residents to gauge interest. Residents thought it was a good idea - if it didn't cost them anything. They collect newspapers, glass and aluminum twice a month on days which coincide with garbage collection. 2. Costs - They began by furnishing 2,200 homes in three separate areas of the City with three colored containers at a cost to the City of $18.00 per set; $16,000 in start up money came from Hennepin County and they used $40,000 of CDBG funds. In April, 1984 they went City-wide. For the expanded program they used $152,000 of CDBG fobs Bill money. For their continuing program they're budgeting $15,000 of CDBG funds along with using the surplus from their refuse collection charges. They're collecting $5.00 per household for recycling. Their recycler receives $2500 per month. They have also submitted a proposal to the County requesting an additional $60,000. 3. Assessment of program - They feel they're getting 30% of the waste recycled now with approximately 51% of the residents actually participating overall. They're looking at expanding the program to apartments and townhomes. 4. Changes - They started out paying the contractor 20¢ per stop, and the contractor counted the stops. They recommend tightening up the contract with the collector. HOPKINS 1. Type of program - Hopkins program is a carbon copy of St. Louis arks which includes paper, glass and cans. They began with a pilot program of 300 homes with scheduled pickups of twice a month. They advertised with flyers and in the newspaper. 2. Costs - They furnished each home with the set of three containers at a cost to the City of $4,950 for which they'd received a $5,000 grant from Hennepin County. Their Council also authorized an additional $5,000, if needed. They've been paying the recycler $150 per month out of this. 3. Assessment of program - They consider it a permanent program and plan to expand it toCity-wide in August. Residents are asking when they can be part of the program. 4. Changes - They wouldn't do anything different, but one difference between their program and that of St. Louis Park is the contract with the recycler. Hopkins pays on a flat rate and recommends this type of contract. Recycling Program April 11, 1985 Page 3 MINNEAPOLIS 1. Type of program - Minneapolis started recycling in June, 1982 in the southwest corner of the City. They decided to go City-wide in November, 1983. They collect papers, cans, bottles and oil; no magazines or plastic. Recyclables are put out in alleys or at curbside in paper bags, boxes, or garbage cans identified by red stickers. They use block coordinators who put out reminder signs on their lawns saying "Neighborhood recycling day is Tuesday" which are taken down the day after the recycler comes, which is every three weeks. 2. Costs - There was no cost to residents. They got $40,000 from Hennepin County to start the program, nothing since. They're asking for another $40,000 from the County which will be approximately 1/5 of the budget which is $200,000. 3. Assessment of program - They feel it's successful. They estimate they've had 20% participation and believe a 5-10% increase would make it an excellent program. They estimate they've recycled 5.1% of the.waste. 4. Changes - They would have started out with firmer contracts with the recycler. They've had a lot of problems with U.S. Recyco. They also suggest the City have a scavenger ordinance in effect before starting the program. Minneapolis has one which has proven to be unenforceable, but their problems have been small and manageable. Their biggest problem has been in monitoring the recyclers. He suggested a contract with no loopholes and getting a responsible recycler; he suggested Beerman. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Virtually all programs involve curbside pickup. 2. Most programs involve recycling of newspaper, glass, and metal. 3. Most communities use CDBG or Hennepin County grant monies to subsidize their program. 4. Hennepin County representatives advise that they do not have any criteria on which city gets funding, they also don't have a maximum or minimum funding amount at present. The City is not required to match funds, however, every city beginning a program has put up some money. County funds are available now. CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: April 1, 1985 TO: City Manager dames G. Willis through Community Development Director Blair Tremere FROM: SUBJECT ,��,,ww _ Community Development Coordinator Sara L. McConneYYV YEAR END REPORT - 1984 The purpose of this memorandum is to forward several pieces of information which serve as a basis of the Year End Report for 1984. The following items are forwarded: 1. The Flow Chart for 1984, which identifies and tracked those applications which were processed through the Planning Application Review Procedures. 2. Report of the Planning application volume by type. 3. Graphic representation of the monthly totals of Planning Applications for the Year 1984. 4. Graphic reprensentation of the monthly totals for Residential Permits is- sued for Year 1984. 5. Graphic representation of the monthly totals of Commercial and Industrial Permits issued for the Year 1984. 6. Current status of approved Commercial and Industrial Site Plans - 1984 7. Current status of approved Commercial and Industrial Site Plans - 1979 - 1983 8. Current status of approved Commercial and Industrial Site Plans - 1st Quar- ter 1985 Each component listed above will be described in the following paragraphs. Also, I have offered comments with respect to each item. 1. FLOW CHART 1984: As in previous years, a Flow Chart for the year was pre- pared to chart all planning applications which were processed during 1984. The format for this year, is identical as used in previous years. The Flow Chart for the Year End Report, and that published on a weekly basis, is now prepared on the MICOM word processing system. 2. PLANNING APPLICATION VOLUME BY TYPE: Review of this document will show that we processed 338 planning applications in 1984, while 206 applica- tions were processed in 1983 (a difference of 132 applications). While the number of applications increased we were able to process a majority of the applications within the desired timelines. Page two Year End Report - 1984 April 1, 1985 3. MONTHLY TOTAL OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS - 1984: In 1984, an average of 28 applications per month were processed. Based on data from 1980 - 1983, ap- proximately 15 to 20 applications a month were anticipated. 4. RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED - 1984: The Residential Permits issued through 1984 were tabulated similarily to the planning applications. I found that an average of 80 permits per month were issued in 1984. Based on data from 1980 - 1983, 50 to 70 Building Permit applications per month were anticipated. 5. COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDING PERMITS - 1984: Again, the commercial and industrial permits issued in 1984 were tabulated. An average of 9 per- mits per month were issued in 1984. We expected approximately 10 permits per month. This information should be analyzed and used by the Building Division in forecasting budget information. 6. CURRENT STATUS OF APPROVED COMMERCIAL -INDUSTRIAL SITE PLANS - 1984: All of the Site Plan applications approved in 1984 are listed with a representa- tion of the current status. A cover memorandum is attached to the list, summarizing the findings. 7. CURRENT STATUS OF APPROVED COMMERCIAL -INDUSTRIAL SITE PLANS 1979 - 1983: The final document of this Year End Report, is listing the Site Plans which were approved in the Years 1979 through 1983, and which have not commenced construction. 8. Time Associated to Application Processing: Considering the number of ap- plications processed, I analyzed the amount of time required to process planning applications. The analysis used calendar days and results in an average time for processing. An average was prepared to answer the follow- ing questions: a) How much time is required for staff review of applications from the date of submittal to Planning Commission review? This does not in- clude revisions made by the petitioner, or waiting for additional information. b) How much time is required to process an application from date of sub- mittal through Planning Commission, or directly to City Council for final action? c) How much time is required to process an application from the date of submittal through City Council review (total time)? I found that an average of 32 calendar days of staff time are devoted to proces- sing an application for Planning Commission consideration. We inform petition- ers that they should estimate approximately 30 to 45 days from the date their application is accepted through to Planning Commission consideration. This re- view time does not account for required revisions, or more information. Page three Year End Report - 1984 April 1, 1985 When I included the time waiting for revisions and additional information, the processing of an application for Planning consideration averages 43 calendar days. This is still within the estimated time frame that is suggested to petitioners. Consistent with the establishment of the Development Review Committee with the Development Council, petitioners are informed they should estimate 60 to 90 days for processing applications (from the date of submittal through City Council action). I found that on an average, we process applications in 53 calendar days. In summary, I found that we are processing applications within the time frame that is discussed with all petitioners, and that it is consistent with the original intent of the Development Review Committee. I do not recommend that we change our estimated time for review and approval, as there were several applications that required more time for processing (over 100 days), which impacts the averages noted above.

Local Legislators Say Outstaters Are Getting Off Easy B Wiiyne Nelson T IS hardly surprising that the metro- politan area — currently the driving force in Minnesota's economy — is priming the pump for state aid programs, which last year returned $2.7 billion to schools, local governments and individual taxpayers through property tax relief. But some urban legislators are alarmed by how much of that property tax relief is flow- ing outstate these days, courtesy of their con- stituents. They note that the average metro- politan area homeowner's property tax bill is three times his or her outstate counter- part's. And they fear the disparity between urban and rural districts may grow even larger in coming years. Last year the net outflow of tax monies from the seven -county metropolitan region — the difference between state taxes col- lected for aid program- and the amount re- turned to the community — was nearly $742 million, according to the state Senate research office. The office's analysis of state aid and credit programs and the distribution of the taxes that fund them is believed to be the first at- tempt to examine the overall.system. It was (please turn to page 12) Metro area Source of 64% State Aid Fund: outstate;.* f J ' ,.360/0 Metro area 480/0 Distributlon .

Stale DWOWaphar- 1t Are Metro -Area Taxpayers Paying Their Fair Share.? (continued frons page 1) instigated by two DFL senators, Carl Kroen- ing of Minneapolis and Gene Waldorf of St. Paul. The pair recently circulated the results to their metropolitan colleagues, along with this cryptic conclusion: "We see no public pur- pose being served by metro counties subsidiz- ing local services in communities that tax themselves at two-thirds to half the rate be- ing paid by Hennepin and Ramsey county homeowners." The pair then added that they will not support efforts to increase property tax subsidies to such communities. Their message seems clear enough: that metropolitan area residents are paying an un- fair share of the taxes being collected in the state. But any discussion of fairness in state aid allocations must begin with the original intent of these programs, which today return roughly two-thirds of all state taxes collected to local jurisdictions. The Legislature established state aid pro- grams in the 1960s and early 1970s to reduce local reliance on property taxes, and to shift some of the state's we31th from the "have communities" to the "have-nots," a point both qutstate and some suburban legislators are quick to note. Also at issue is the economic relationship between the metro area and outstate dis- tricts. "They [Kroening and Waldorf] don't want to understand that it is rural demand for many of the products produced (in the Twin Cities) that generates the taxes and jobs there," says Rep. Virgil Johnson, IR -Caledo- nia, a farmer and former commissioner in Houston County in southeastern Minnesota, one of the big beneficiaries under current state aid programs. Johnson argues that outstate property tax levies are lower in part because a large pro- portion of the public services offered in those communities are provided by unpaid volun- teers, unlike in urban centers. He also points out that direct legislative ap- propriations for services received by metro- politan communities,(such as public transit) were not included -in the Senate office's anal- ysis. For instance, the metro area received $17.5 million of the $23.4 million the Legis- lature appropriated for urban mass transit last year. It is unlikely that the study findings will lead to a slowdown of the state aid outflow this year, given the economic distress cur- rently afflicting the outstate area. Given cur- rent political realities, the gap may actually widen. Senate DFLers, the majority parry, have not yet outlined their tax plan for the 1985-87 biennium, but Senate Independent -Republi- cans (IR) have, and their plan includes $65 million in direct property tax relief to farmers. In the House, the IR majority has proposed a $173 million property tax relief plan, the largest share to be channeled to local school districts through the state's school aid pro- gram. In general, the current school aid for- mula favors outstate districts, with schools in Hennepin, Ramsey and Dakota counties receiving significantly less aid per pupil than the statewide average, according to Senate research. In addition, there is a move afoot to change the state local government aid formula, which currently favors big cities. Waldorf charges that outstate and suburban legislators have joined forces in an effort to snare a larger share for their districts. Waldorf cautions his colleagues to consider the long-term ramifications before modifying any state aid formulas. "If the formulas are changed, we'll have to live with them forever. You never take away state aids," he warns. Noting the irony, some suburban and out - state partisans think the current local govern- ment aid formula proves his statement. But perspective has often been an early casualty when legislators sit down to carve upstate aid funds, says one longtime observ- er and participant in the process. "It's a crass way to do it," says James Willis, city manager of suburban Plymouth, "but the name of the game is how to get more money to pay your bills from someone else." State aid and credit programs are financed primarily with revenues from the personal in- come tax, the state sales tax, gross premium taxes paid by insurance companies and ex- cise taxes on sales of motor vehicles, liquor and cigarettes. Using complex formulas in each aid category, the state allocates money to school districts, cities and counties in an r S e• .c� .zr " . non-agricult'°� i Ir '.• �. 41 �7 w oil 11111 effort to help them offset some of the costs of operating schools, welfare and other local government services that otherwise would have to be supported by the local property tax. The state also collects vehicle license fees and state gasoline taxes, but returns all of the money collected to cities and cormties to help them build and maintain road systems. Individual taxpayers also benefit from state aids. The state provides a homestead exemp- tion, which currently pays 54 percent of the gross property taxes on an owner -occupied property, to a maximum of $650. State aid revenues also fund the circuit -breaker pro- gram, which provides additional income - adjusted property tax relief to homeowners and renters. In 1983 the average Twin Cities area homeowner paid a tax bill of $905, three times the outstate average, a fact that has not been lost on critics of the current system. There are at least three significant reasons for the higher metropolitan tax bills. Home values are generally higher in the metro area, so property taxes are higher. And demand for public services is greater. But the $650 limit on the homestead exemption also plays an important role. That limit shuts off any further relief when a homeowner's gross property tax bill exceeds $1,203 (54 percent of $1,203 is $650). The result is higher net property taxes (the gross tax bill minus the state -paid homestead credit) in the metro - poll area. Outstate, where property values and tax levels are generally lower, about 10 percent of all homeowners are subsidized to the $650 maximum, according to Senate research. That figure is expected to remain constant for the rest of the decade if the cap remains at $650. But in the metro area, 58 percent of home- owners' tax bills already exceed $1,203, and Senate research predicts that share will climb to 70 percent by the end of the decade unless the $650 limit is raised. One way to correct much of the imbalance is to raise the $650 limit while reducing the state's contribution to a homeowner's proper- ty tax payment from the current 54 percent to about 50 percent, according to Kroening and Waldorf. Any such change would have to pass mus- ter with tax committees in the two chambers. Late last week, Chairman of the House tax committee, Rep. Bill Schreiber, IR-Brooklym Park, unveiled further details of his proper- ty tax relief plan. The proposal — which Schreiber says embodies the "goals" of the House majority party — includes an increase in the homestead credit maximum to $700, along with other measures to narrow the disparity between metropolitan and outstate property taxes. But Schreiber's plan to "stabilize and simplify" property taxes may go further than Senate DFLers are willing to accept. The Hbuse tax committee chairman intends to change the local government aid formula, and it likely will be modified to the detriment of the current winners, particularly Minneapolis. . "Minneapolis has less than 10 percent of the state population and gets 20 percent of the local government aid pot. There is gen- eral consensus that the existing formula works poorly," Schreiber says. It is only fair, in the face of such criticisms, to note that the current formula for local gov- ernment aid allocations was developed in the early 1970s, a time when many observers felt the survival of urban centers was at stake. And the system worked. Today the state's two largest cities are healthy, and it is the outstate communities, dependent on agricul- ture and mining, that are in trouble. Once again, the state's healthy sector is paying more so troubled communities can re- ceive more. The current outflow of state aid funds from the metropolitan area reflects that Shift, says Plymouth City Manager Jim Willis. He projects, "It will even out in time as the rural economy gets better." ■ PAGE 12 WYBUSINESS APRIL 10-23,198.5 PLYMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT TYPE OF REPORTED INCIDENTS BY TIME OF DAY MONTH MARCH 1985 0001 0401 0801 1201 1601 2001 CONFIRMED FALSE ESTIMATED 0400 0800 1200 1600 2000 1 2400 CALLS I ALARMS1 TOTAL LOSS PRIVATE DWELLINGS 1 2 2 1 4 1 4 8 5 13 $62,350 APARTMENTS 1 1 1 2 1 1 5 6 -- HOTELS AND MOTELS 1 0 1 1 - ALL OTHER RESIDENTIAL 0 I 0 0 - - i PUBLIC ASSEMBLY I 0 1 0 0 - SCHOOLS ANO COLLEGES 0 I 0 0 - - HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS 1 3 1 0 5 5 -- PENAL INSTITUTIONS 0 0 0 - - STORES AND OFFICES 0 0 0 I INDUSTRY, MFG. 1 4 2 1 1 1 8 9 -- STORAGE IN STRUCTURES 0 0 0 - - SPECIAL STRUCTURES 0 0 1 0 - i CTDCC 1111TCTnC /1C CTDHrTIIDCC n n n _ I FIRES IN HIGHWAY VEHICLES 2 2 0 2 1,000 I IFIRES IN OTHER VEHICLES I 0 0 0 i -- FIRES IN BRUSH, GRASS - - MEDICAL AID RESPONSES i 0 0 i 0 -- I FIRES IN RUBBISH, DUMPSTERS 1 1 0 i 1 ALL OTHER FIRES 0 0 0 - - MEDICAL AID RESPONSES 0 0 0 - - MALICIOUS FALSE ALARM 0 0 0 - - MUTUAL AID OR ASSISTANCE 2 1 3 1 0 3 ALL OTHER RESPONSES 1 1 2 1 4 I 1 5 -- TOTALS 2 3 12 6 10 12 20 25 I 45 $63,350 *(INCLUDED IN FALSE ALARM TOTALS) PLYMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT TYPE OF REPORTED INCIDENTS BY TIME OF DAY MONTH JANUARY - MARCH 1985 0001 0401 0801 1201 1601 2001 CONFIRMED FALSE ESTIMATED 0400 0800 1200 1600 2000 2400 CALLS ALARMS TOTAL LOSS PRIVATE DWELLINGS 4 3 9 5 12 9 29 13 42 $149,350 APARTMENTS 1 1 2 2 6 3 4 ll 15 2,100 HOTELS AND MOTELS 1 1 1 0 I 3 3 - ALL OTHER RESIDENTIAL t ! ! 0 1 0 0 - - PUBLIC ASSEMBLY I i I I 0 I 0 0 -- SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES 1 1 i 1 i 0 1 200 HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS 2 15 1 2 2 0 13 13 -- PENAL INSTITUTIONS 1 j 1 O 1 - I STORES AND OFFICES i L 2 1 1 4 5 -- INDUSTRY, MFG. 4 8 4 1 2 1 18 19 ! !

Any person wishing additional detail is encouraged to contact any individual manager. THE MANAGERS AND MEETING INFORMATION As of December 31, 1984, the names, addresses and terms of the managers are as follows: Camile D. Andre 10401 Cedar Lake Rd. Term Expires Apt. 419 March 8, 1986 Minnetonka, MN 55343 Michael R. Carroll 4509 Washburn Ave. So. Term Expires Minneapolis, MN 55410 March 8, 1985 David H. Cochran 4640 Linwood Circle Term Expires Excelsior, MN 55331 March 8, 1987 Albert L. Lehman 3604 West Sunrise Drive Term Expires Minnetonka, MN 55343 March 8, 1985 James B.

Thomas 6326 Smithtown Road Term Expires Excelsior, MN 55331 March 8, 1986 The present officers are: David H. Cochran President Albert L. Lehman Vice President John E. Thomas Secretary Michael R. Carroll Treasurer During 1984, twelve regular meetings were held by the managers on the third Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. In order to make the meetings of the managers more accessible to all residents of the district, the managers meet in odd numbered months in the St. Louis Park City Hall and in even numbered months at the Wayzata City Hall. -1- The managers exchanged information with other governmental units affected by the programs and policies of the watershed district and honored requests to attend meetings of municipal, county and state officials as well as meetings of interested citizens and groups. The managers received substantial support and assistance from the Hennepin and Carver County Boards of Commissioners through the year which greatly assisted the district in carrying out its programs during 1984. During 1984, the managers continued to serve in organizations dealing with water resource issues. The Board participated in the activities of the Chapter 509 Section of the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts to deal with issues in implementing Chapter 509, Laws 1982, and in the deliberations of the annual meeting of the Association, held November 30 - December 1, 1984. The managers supplied copies of minutes of all meetings and reports to interested citizens and to public officials throughout the district. Copies of the 1983 Annual Report were filed in 1984 with the Minnesota Water Resources Board, the Department of Natural Resources, the Boards of County Commissioners of Hennepin and Carver Counties and with State Senators and Representatives from the area within the watershed district. EXPANSION OF BOARD OF MANAGERS On November 3, 1983, the Water Resources Board conducted a hearing on the question whether to expand the size of the Board of Managers. Following hearing, the Board ordered that the Board be expanded by two managers, both to be appointed by the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County. Pursuant to that authorization, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners appointed James R. Spensley of the City of Minneapolis and James B. McWethy of the City of Edina to the two additional manager positions. Manager Spensley took the oath of office on March 15, 1984 and Manager McWethy took the oath of office on April 19, 1984. PERMIT APPLICATIONS The watershed district received 197 permit applications during 1984. In each instance, the proposed project was reviewed in detail for environmental soundness and for compliance with the district's rules and regulations. Applications were received for projects such as dredging, shoreline erosion protection, highway and utility crossings, setback variances, filling, preliminary plat review and drainage and grading for site development. A -2- summary is attached to this report showing the project location and type of application received. As in previous years, a large majority of the applications received were from the Lake Minnetonka portion of the watershed district, reflecting the continuing urbanization of that area. All permits granted by the watershed districts specifically require compliance with applicable municipal ordinances and, if the permit involved Lake Minnetonka, the applicable ordinances of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. In addition, permits issued by the watershed district require compliance with any applicable rules of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The Board of Managers also took action as necessary regarding complaints, permit violations and activities which had been undertaken prior to issuance of a permit from the district. HYDROLOGIC DATA COLLECTION The district's hydrologic data collection program was continued during 1984. The data for 1983 is published in the Annual Hydrologic Data Report dated April, 1984. Copies of this report were submitted to the Minnesota Water Resources Board, the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Department of Natural Resources, and local government officials and citizens' groups. GRAY'S BAY CONTROL STRUCTURE/LAKE MINNETONKA During 1984, the district operated the Gray's Bay Control Structure under the existing Management Policy and Operational Plan last revised and approved by the Department of Natural Resources on May 20, 1983. During 1984, the managers continued to rely heavily upon participation of each of the municipalities on Minnehaha Creek in recording creek elevations and flows and reporting that data to the district. The district prepared monthly summaries of this data and made these summaries available to interested municipalities and citizens. The assistance of each of the municipalities was invaluable to the district in making the operational adjustments required during 1984 to accomplish the management objectives of the Headwaters Control Structure. In connection with a request from the City of Minnetonka to use the surface of the dam and weir as part of a city trail, the district commenced an investigation of means to add public safety measures at the Dam. This study was pending at year end. -3- WATER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR FUND The Board of Managers continued its practice of requesting from the municipalities within the district suggestions for maintenance projects to be paid in part from the district's Water Maintenance and Repair Fund. From the numerous requests received, the managers approved the following projects for 1984: Applicant/Location City of Mound City of Long Lake City of Orono Project Description Shoreline erosion protection Channel improvements and sedimentation basin in drainage way tributary to Long Lake Culvert replacement at Long Lake Creek in Orono Orchard Road Allocation 40% of actual construction costs to a maximum of $3,000 40% of actual construction costs up to $7,500 40% of actual construction costs up to $7,000 In addition to the foregoing municipal requests, the managers authorized modification of the elevations of the canoe landings on Minnehaha Creek located at Gray's Bay, the Horse Ford, Big Willow, and County Road 73. The costs were paid from the Water Maintenance and Repair Fund. MINNEHAHA CREEK CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS/CASCADE LANE AREA, EDINA (PROJECT CP -8) Channel improvements in the Cascade Lane area of Edina were authorized by the Board on December 19, 1983, to be paid from 1983 Water Maintenance and Repair Funds. That work was not completed by the contractor during the Winter of 1984. During 1984, the contract was amended to call for the contractor to complete the work during the Winter of 1985. UPPER WATERSHED STORAGE AND RETENTION PROJECT (PROJECT CP -5) Aerial photography and topographic mapping were completed in the Spring of 1984 for the Upper Watershed Storage and Retention Project within the Painter Creek Subwatershed (CP -5). Topographic mapping was completed and easement descriptions were prepared. On November 8, 1984, the Board approved plans and specifications for 1XIM the project. Independent appraisals were obtained of all easements needed for the project and offers of payment to individual owners were made based on the appraisals. In addition, the district commenced an eminent domain proceeding to acquire those easements where voluntary agreement could not be reached with individual owners. On December 20, 1984, the Board awarded a contract for the project. Work is scheduled to commence in January 1985. WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLANNING CHAPTER 509 During 1984, the Managers held nine special meetings regarding water management planning under Chapter 509. The managers' efforts were directed toward development of water management policies applicable on a district -wide basis. Preliminary drafts of such policies were prepared early in the year and submitted to the Chapter 509 Technical Advisory Committee and to all municipalities within the District for review and comment. Thereafter, the Managers held three meetings at various locations in the watershed district to secure comment from municipalities and interested citizens. Following review of the comments received, the Managers prepared revisions of the draft policy statements to respond to the comments received. These revised drafts were again distributed to all municipalities and interested citizens on December 20, 1984. The Managers also approved a timetable calling for the preparation of a draft Watershed Management Plan during 1985. FLOODPLAIN REGULATION The issue of floodplain filling continued to be an area of attention by the managers, particularly in St. Louis Park and Edina, where residents along Minnehaha Creek have experienced high water conditions and have brought those concerns before the managers. The managers met with municipal officials on the subject. The managers urged all creekside municipalities to amend their ordinances to prohibit any further filling in the floodplain in Minnehaha Creek, since additional encroachment in the floodplain contributes to higher peak flows thereby increasing the potential of damage to structures and property. In 1984, the managers also undertook a cooperative study with the City of St. Louis Park to determine the causes of seepage at the basement level of a private residence in St. Louis Park. BOUNDARY AMENDMENTS During 1984, the district submitted petitions to the water Resources Board to amend the legal boundaries of the district to more closely approximate hydrologic drainage patterns. A petition was submitted jointly with the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, -5- Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District, and Lower Minnesota River Watershed District to amend portions of the common boundaries of those watershed districts. A second petition was submitted in November 1984 to amend the boundaries adjacent to the Middle Mississippi Water Management Organization, Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission, Pioneer Creek Conservation Commission, and the Carver Creek Water Management Organization. A hearing was scheduled for early in 1985. MAPLE PLAIN TREATMENT PLANT/INTERCEPTOR The Board reviewed the Environmental Assessment Worksheet prepared by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on the phase-out of the Maple Plain Treatment Plant and interceptor construction. This project will remove the last remaining sewage treatment plant which discharges into Lake Minnetonka. LEGAL/PHYSICAL BOUNDARY DIFFERENCES The managers reviewed the problems associated with review of projects located within the legal boundary of the Watershed District but which drain into another watershed management organization. The managers adopted a policy to address such situations providing for the application of the standards of the receiving organization whenever possible. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In 1984, the managers developed policy statements on surface water management in conformance with the requirements of Chapter 509. During 1985, the managers intend to prepare a draft Watershed Management Plan for review during the latter part of 1985. The schedule calls for completion of the plan by December 31, 1986. The managers plan to complete construction of the Upper Watershed Storage and Retention project of improvements in the Painter Creek Subwatershed (CP -5) in 1985. The Board also intends to complete the channel improvement work in the Cascade Lane area of Edina. The managers will continue to emphasize active use of its Water Maintenance and Repair Fund during 1985 in order to accomplish desirable maintenance projects within the district. The Board anticipates that it will continue reviewing and issuing permits pertaining to individual site developments during 1985. BUDGET/1984 As required by law, the managers, pursuant to notice, held a public hearing on September 20, 1984 on proposed budgets for the district's Administrative Fund, Water Maintenance and Repair Fund, and Watershed Management Planning Fund. Following the public hearing, the managers adopted budgets for 1985 for these funds. FINANCIAL RECORDS The financial records of the district are kept by a certified public accountant. All financial transactions are recorded in the minutes of its meetings. The treasurer of the district maintained separate records for five funds in 1984: (1) the Administrative Fund; (2) the Water Maintenance and Repair Fund; (3) the Data Acquisition Fund; (4) Watershed Management Planning Fund, and (5) the Upper Watershed Project Fund (CP -5). Records for each of these funds include the dates and amounts of all expenditures, the names of individuals receiving payment and the purposes for which payment is made. The official depository for the district is the Wayzata State Bank, Wayzata, Minnesota. During 1984, the financial records of the district were audited for the year 1983 and a copy of the audit was filed with the State Auditor for the State of Minnesota in March 1985. 0105n Respectfully submitted, David H.

CD t — Dear Sir ._1._-, ' --) %.A,. I am writing to thank you officer Badge #15. Last night I was 'flying' west on Hwy 55 @ Co Rd 9. I was on my way home to Annandale, already late, and was preoccupied without my full attention to the road. When I was pulled over, I honestly didn't know how fast I was going. Officer #15 did tag me. He was very nice, very considerate. He of course also warned me "SLOW DOWN." He went on to point out how far I would travel before I could stop my car. I did indeed slow down. As I reached Rockford, I was probably going about 50mph. (Two tickets in one night would really ruin a day!) As I rounded the curve to Rockford, 3 deer jumped out of nowhere right in front of me. I was able to stop in time. But since then I have thought, what if I had still been cruising? Just the thought of what may have been is frightening. I just wanted to let you and #15 know "the rest of the story." Your truly Kathleen Ann Winn April 8, 1985 Mr. Elliot Perovich, Chairman Regional Transit Board 270 Metro Square Building St. Paul, MN 55101 Dear vich: V CITY OF PUMOUTR l_ — 1 Loci". In a very short time the Regional Transit Board has taken steps to greatly improve our regional transit system. The Board has taken one action however, that discourages municipal transit involvement and improvement. This action has had a negative impact on our community. On October 8, 1984, the Regional Transit Board voted to implement the "property tax feathering" proposal for metropolitan area communities receiv- ing less than full all -day service. Some 42 communities received relief under this program, including all communities eligible to the so-called "Opt Out" legislation, except Plymouth. I believe that Plymouth should receive treatment identical to other metro- politan area communities in similar circumstances. Shakopee, for example, received full tax feathering and then elected to develop its own transpor- tation program. Similarly, communities such as Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie are considering doing the same. Because Plymouth had already imple- mented a transit program, however, we received no consideration for tax feathering. The Board's action penalizes taxpayers of the City of Plymouth for taking the lead in establishing an experimental transit program. Our residents from a tax perspective, would be better off if Plymouth, like other opt out eligible communities, had sat by and waited for tax relief rather than aggressively attempting to improve transit services to our residents. Plymouth is in a unique position among metropolitan area communities in that the amount of money required to provide transit services to Plymouth residents can be calculated. Plymouth's 1984 payable 1985 mill levy to the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District amounted to $1,120,000. This is the 112 mill" levy provided for under law and excludes the MTC debt service levy. The operating deficit of Plymouth Metrolink for 1984 was $221,342. Substracting these actual costs of deliverying transit services in Plymouth from the total levy, leaves $898,658 for the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District. I propose the following for Regional Transit Board consideration. In establishing tax feathering the legislature determined 1.25 mills to be the minimum level of community contribution to the regional transit system even if they receive no direct service. The 1.25 levy in Plymouth amounts to $700,000. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Regional Transit Board April 8, 1985 Page 2 Subtracting the $898,658 levy available to the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District from the $700,000 representing the 1.25 mill levy, reveals that Plymouth taxpayers have "overpaid" the transit district $198,658. This is the amount which Plymouth residents are penalized because Plymouth elected to initiate a transit demonstration program prior to rather than after tax feathering was adopted. While I am very supportive of the efforts and accomplishments of the Regional Transit Board, I believe that the Board's action in this case was both inequitable to Plymouth and counter-productive to the Board's desire to reinforce the implementation of innovative transit programs. By this letter I am requesting the Board's consideration of reimbursing to the taxpayers of Plymouth the $198,658. Reimbursement could be accomplished by releasing this amount to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for administration exclusively for transit improvements in Plymouth. I look forward to further discussing this request with you and the members of the Regional Transit Board. Sincerel , Da 'd J.

In a survey of comparative general obligation bonds, the reoffering coupons compare as follows: Community: Plymouth Sale date: March 18 Moody's rating: A-1 Amount: $8,900,000 Bloomington Crystal March 26 March 19 AA AAA (1) $7,950,000 $5,865,000 1987 6.50% -- 1988 7.00 6.75% -- 1989 7.25 7.25 7.50% 1990 7.50 7.50 7.75 1991 7.75 7.75 8.00 1992 8.00 8.00 8.20 1993 8.25 8.20 8.40 1994 8.50 8.40 8.60 1995 8.75 8.60 8.75 Avg. reoffering coupon rate 7.72% 7.66% 7.94% (l)Purchased MBIA insurance to qualify for the AAA Moody's rating and AAA Standard and Poor's rating. Based on the above analysis, Bloomington's bid is an average reoffering coupon rate of 6 basis points lower than Plymouth's. Currently the average rate difference between an A-1 and AA credit is 10 to 15 basis points. The Crystal bid was an average coupon rate of 22 basis points higher, even with the AAA rating. In our review of these bids, we believe the City received a very competitive bid, which justified the awarding of the bid. In addition, the City is bid as a strong A-1 credit in the financial marketplace. Very truly yours, EHL AND ASSOCIATES, INC. teve Apfe er cc: Jim Willis 0424a x_ - \ l.O C_ April 9, 1985 r. CITY OF PLYMOUTf+ Mr. Bart Leuer 14325 - 18th Avenue No. Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Bart: Thank you for your recent letter addressed to Mayor Davenport. Mayor Davenport has been out of town and has asked that I respond to your letter. We appreciate your visiting the Council meeting last month along with others of Scout Troop 481. I hope that your evening with us will give you some idea about how Plymouth City government operates. County Road 9 is, as you know, a busy roadway. We know that it will become busier as the community continues to develop. We have urged Hennepin County to widen out County Road 9 from I-494 westerly to where new County Road 9 begins near Plymouth Boulevard. The County, thus far, has not agreed to schedule this work. We have also asked the County to consider installing traffic signals as you yourself suggest. Unfortunately, the number of cars using the intersection during the whole day are not sufficient to "warrant" the installation of the stoplight. We recognize that there are peak hours in the morning and after- noon which are particularly difficult. Because we recognize that the problem you have pointed out is a serious one, we are going to ask the County to again study this intersection in hopes that they might agree with us (and you) that a stoplight should be installed. Thank you for your letter and also for your interest in your city govern- ment. Yours truly, mes G.

It was especially important to have your comments on the hearing record since neither of our NWHHSC representatives could be present at the meeting. Your involvement and leadership at West Hennepin is important to Plymouth, and we do appreciate your willingness to serve. Thanks again! Fondly, 1 .

Holderness CONSULTING EDINA EXECUTIVE PLAZA, SUITE 203 5200 WILLSON ROAD EDINA, MINNESOTA 55424 March 20, 1985 Mr. Dave Davenport City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, Mn. 55447 Dear Dave: PHONE 925-4083 Thanks very much for your support and enthusiasm regarding the development of the Parkview Apartments for 1985, As I stated, we are working on the final stages of a joint agreement with Lincoln Life Insurance Company, a major insurance company, for the financing and development of Parkview Apartments. We would anticipate that the funding would be put in place during the second quarter of 1985 with construction to begin during the third quarter and occupancies to occur during the first quarter of 1986. This should give us a logical and well ordered process for completing the development. Dave, may I again thank you for the continued support and help we have had from both you and from City staff on bringing this fine product ultimately to fruition. Sincerely, A Eugene S.
