TO: CITY FINANCE OFFICERS
RE: 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID NOTICE
The 1985 Legislature changed the formula for determining local government
aid for cities. The amount of your city's 1986 local government aid under
the new formula has been determined and is shown on the enclosed notice.
The first of the six monthly installments of this aid will be paid on July
15, 1986. The enclosed notice also lists the factors that pertain to your
city which were used in determining your city's local government aid. The
following is an explanation of these factors:
1. PAYABLE 1983 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: This is the total property tax levy
for your city reported on your county auditor's Abstract of Tax Lists
for the taxes payable year 1983. For all but three cities located
within the seven county metropolitan area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota,
Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington Counties), this amount includes
the 1983 fiscal disparities distribution levy.
2. PAYABLE 1984 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: Same as line 1, except that it is
for payable 1984.
3. PAYABLE 1985 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: Same as line 1, except that it is
for payable 1985.
4. 1983 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government
aid that your city was certified to receive in 1983.
5. 1984 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government
aid that your city was certified to receive in 1984.
6. 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government
aid that your city was certified to receive in 1985.
7. 1983 ATTACHED MACHINERY AID: If your city qualified to receive attached
machinery aid in 1983, this is the amount of your city's attached
machinery aid for that year.
8. 1983 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven
county metropolitan area, this is the 1983 population estimate
determined by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside
of the metropolitan area, this is the 1982 population estimate
determined by the State Demographer's Office.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
9. 1983 ATTACHED MACHINERY AID PER CAPITA:
by dividing your city's 1983 attached
city's 1983 population estimate.
—Q
This is the amount determined
machinery aid (if any) by your
10. ATTACHED MACHINERY AID ADJUSTMENT: If your city's 1983 attached
machinery aid per capita is greater than $70.00, this adjustment is
equal to the amount of your city's 1983 attached machinery aid. If
your city's 1983 attached machinery aid is equal to or less than $70.00,
there is no adjustment.
11. ADJUSTED 1984 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of your city's
1984 local government aid from line 5 minus your city's attached
machinery aid adjustment (if any) from line 10.
12. ADJUSTED 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of your city's
1985 local government aid from line 6 minus your city's attached
machinery aid adjustment (if any) from line 10.
13. 1983 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1983 property
tax levy from line 1 and your city's 1983 local government aid from
line 4.
14. 1984 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1984 property
tax levy from line 2 and your city's adjusted 1984 local government
aid
from line 11.
15. 1985 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1985 property
tax levy from line 3 and your city's adjusted 1985 local government
aid
from line 12.
16. 3 YEAR SUM OF FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's 1983, 1984
and 1985 fiscal need.
17. PRELIMINARY 1986 FISCAL NEED FACTOR: This is your city's 3 year sum
of fiscal need divided by the number 3. It represents an average
fiscal need for the three years.
18. 25% OF 1982 WATER WELL BONDS: For an applicable city, this is 25%
of the principal amount of bonds issued in 1982 to pay for the
construction or reconstruction of water wells which replaced a municipal
water supply found to be an environmental health hazard by the State
Department of Health.
19. FINAL 1986 FISCAL NEED FACTOR: This is your city's preliminary 1986
fiscal need factor from line 17 plus the adjustment for water well
bonds if any, from line 18.
20. 1985 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven
county metropolitan area, this is the 1985 population estimate
determined by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside
of the metropolitan area, this is the 1984 population estimate
determined by the State Demographer's Office.
21. FISCAL NEED PER CAPITA: This is your city's final 1986 fiscal need
factor from line 19 divided by your city's 1985 population estimate
from line 20.
-2-
1 —,Z�
22. LOCAL EFFORT MILL RATE: This is a variable amount depending on your
city's fiscal need per capita. If your city's fiscal need per capita
is $300.00 or less, the local effort mill rate is equal to the fiscal
need per capita divided by $16 per capita per mill. If your city's
fiscal need per capita exceeds $300.00, the local effort mill rate
is equal to 18.750 mills (300.00/16) plus the portion of your city's
fiscal need per capita over $300.00 divided by $14 per capita per
mill. The minimum local effort mill rate is 8.000 mills.
23. 1984 ADJUSTED ASSESSED VALUE: This is your city's taxable value for
assessment year 1984 after adjustment for the assessor's level of
assessment. The assessor's level of assessment is determined by the
Property Equalization Division of the Department of Revenue.
24. FISCAL CAPACITY: This is your city's 1984 adjusted assessed value
from line 23 multiplied by your city's local effort mill rate from
line 22.
25. 1986 PRELIMINARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is your city's final
1986 fiscal need factor from line 19 minus your city's fiscal capacity.
If the fiscal capacity amount is greater than the fiscal need factor,
your city's preliminary aid is zero.
26. ADJUSTED 1986 PRELIMINARY AID: This is the greater of your city's
1985 local government aid from line 6 or your city's 1986 preliminary
local government aid from line 25.
27. FINAL ADJUSTED 1986 PRELIMINARY AID: For most cities, this is the
same as line 26. However, if your city qualified for the attached
machinery aid adjustment on line 10, this amount include's your city's
attached machinery aid adjustment.
28. 1986 AID INCREASE: This is your city's final adjusted 1986 preliminary
aid from line 27 minus your city's 1985 local government aid from
line 6. If there is no increase, this amount is zero.
29. AID INCREASE ADJUSTED FOR APPROPRIATION LIMIT: The 1985 Legislature
imposed a limit of $286,000,000 on the amount of local government
aid that could be distributed to cities in 1986. Since the sum of
the 1985 local government aid determined for cities amounted to
$264,865,431, and since a city's minimum aid for 1986 is its 1985
local government aid, there is $21,134,569 of aid increase available
to the cities for 1986. The total calculated aid increase for cities
under the formula is $129,706,051. Part of this amount is reduced
by the maximum aid limitations that follow this step. It was found
that if the total aid increase at this step was reduced to $29,212,747,
the total local government aid for cities after application of the
maximum limits would be reduced to the appropriation limitation.
Therefore, every city that had an aid increase for 1986 had its increase
reduced to 22.52226% ($29,212,747 T $129,706,051) of the calculated
amount in order to stay within the appropriation limitation.
30. 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID AFTER APPROPRIATION: This is the sum of
your city's 1985 local government aid from line 6 and your city's
adjusted aid increase from line 29.
-3-
31. 1984 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven
county metropolitan area, this is the 1984 population estimate
determined by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside
of the metropolitan area, this is the 1983 population estimate
determined by the State Demographer's Office.
32. 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID PER CAPITA: This is the 1985 local government
aid from line 6 divided by your city's 1984 population estimate from
line 31.
33. MAXIMUM AID IF 1985 LGA PER CAPITA IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO $150.00:
If your city's 1985 local government aid per capita is at least $150.00,
your city's maximum local government aid for 1986 is equal to 106%
of your city's 1985 local government aid from line 6. If your city's
1985 local government aid per capita is less than $150.00, no amount
is entered on this line.
34. MAXIMUM AID IF 1985 LGA PER CAPITA IS LESS THAN $150.00: If your
city's 1985 local government aid per capita is less than $150.00,
your city's 1986 local government aid cannot exceed 112% of your city's
1985 local government aid from line 6. If your city's 1985 local
government aid per capita is $150.00 or greater, no amount is entered
on this line.
35. MAXIMUM AID IF 1985 LGA PER CAPITA IS LESS THAN $150.00: If your
city's 1985 local government aid per capita is less than $150.00 your
city's 1986 local government aid also cannot exceed $159.00 per capita,
based on your city's 1984 population estimate from line 31. If your
city's 1985 local government aid per capita is $150.00 or greater,
no amount is entered on this line.
36. FINAL MAXIMUM AID: If your city's 1985 local government aid per capita
is $150.00 or more, this is the maximum aid amount from line 33. If
your city's 1985 local government aid per capita is less than $150.00,
this is the lesser of the two maximums from lines 34 and 35.
37. 102% OF 1985 LGA: Cities of the first class are guaranteed a 1986
local government aid amount at least as great as 102% of their 1985
local government aid. For all other cities, no amount is entered
on this line.
38. PRELIMINARY 1986 LGA: This is the lesser of your city's 1986 local
government aid after the appropriation limit from line 30 or your
city's final maximum aid from line 36. If your city is a city of
the first class, this amount cannot be less than 102% of your city's
1986 local government aid from line 37.
39. REDUCTION FOR STATE COSTS: The 1985 Legislature provided that certain
costs of State government were to be paid out of local government
aid. For 1986 this includes $178,000 for the Government Information
Division in the State Auditor's Office and $16,000 for one-half of
the cost to the State Demographer of developing population and household
estimates for local units of government. The total $194,000 has been
allocated on a pro rata basis to all county governments, cities and
towns entitled to receive local government aid in 1986. The reduction
amounts to .062325% of your city's preliminary aid.
-4-
40. FINAL 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government
aid your city can expect to receive in 1986. It is equal to your
city's preliminary aid from line 38 minus the reduction for state
costs from line 39.
Minnesota Statutes 1984, Section 477A.014 provides that a governmental
unit may object to the amount of aid that the Department of Revenue has
determined for it. No objection may be raised later than 60 days after
receipt of this notice. Such objection should be addressed to Wallace
0. Dahl, Director, Local Government Aids and Analysis Division, Department
of Revenue, P. 0. Box 64446, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164.

PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT
July 17, 1985
PRESENT: Dale Knutson, David Brownell, Dennis Jacobson, Dick Maki, Karen
Benon, Mark Fuhrmann, Frank Boyles
ABSENT: Ray Lottie, Tad Jude, LeRoy Mikkelson
I. APPROVAL OF MAY 1, 1985 MINUTES
The minutes of the May 1, 1985 meeting were approved as submitted.
II. RIDERSHIP STATISTICS
The committee reviewed the commuter, reverse commuter and internal
circulator ridership statistics for the first six months of 1985. It
was noted that June represents the strongest month of 1985, with an
average per day passenger count of 314 for the commuter/reverse
commuter, 53 for the internal circulator, and an overall total of 367
for the system. There was speculation that the improvement in commuter
and reverse commuter service is due to intensified congestion on Highway
55 and 12 due to construction. The internal circulator continues to do
well during the school summer vacation.
Mark Furhmann reviewed the contents of a ridership survey which was
administered since the last meeting. The purpose of the survey was to
determine ridership perspectives on various service enhancements
contemplated. As a result of the response to the survey, the following
service revisions are contemplated:
1. The mid-day circulator will begin service one hour earlier, at
9:00 a.m.
2. The noon route will be eliminated.
3. Service to Ridgehaven Mall, including Target and Byerly's, will be
included as part of the internal circulator route.
4. Fares will increase from 50¢ to 60� in accordance with MnDOT
recommendations.
5. Service will be provided to Fox Forest and Park Place using exist-
ing minicoaches.
6. Twelve additional parking stalls have been added to the park and
ride lot.
7. Schedules are being revised for circulation in mid-August which
will more effectively provide a balanced emphasis for the commuter
service and reverse commuter service. All schedules will contain
a map showing color coded route information.

A PACT member suggested that because of the addition of Fox Forest to
an existing route, it will be appropriate to move the morning route up
three to four minutes, say to 6:45 a.m., so that persons are able to get
downtown in advance of 8:00 a.m. Mark Fuhrmann will check into this and
report at the next meeting.
The committee discussed the park and ride lot, its capacity and eventual
plans for expansion. Discussion also centered on a slip ramp on bus
pullover.
Mark Fuhrmann described the revisions in the schedules, and the fact
that they will be color coded and separated into two documents. The
commuter and internal circulator information will be on one schedule,
and the reverse commuter and internal circulator on another schedule.
In addition to allowing for the inclusion of maps for all service types,
this will allow for greater flexibility in marketing the system.
Mark Fuhrmann asked whether there was anything the City could do about
the sequencing of traffic signals along Highway 55. During the evening
hours the sequence causes substantial delays to both automobile and bus
traffic. He questioned whether anything could be done by the City.
Frank Boyles said he is pessimistic, but will check and report at the
next meeting.
III. IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS OF CONCERN; OR RECOMMENDATION
PACT members reported that the windows are operational in the vehicles
and that the heater cores are no longer emitting heat. Some concern was
stated about passengers getting on the wrong 4:35 p.m. bus. There has
been an occasional reluctance by bus drivers to transfer passengers once
they reach Highway 55. Mark will send out a reminder to drivers that
passengers should be transferred to the correct bus if the driver is
notified before reaching Highway 55.
PACT members advised that two of the buses do not have fare boxes. Mark
will check into this. Mark will also have the shocks on Unit 92, 93 and
97 checked.
A suggestion was made that the drivers reporting time should be moved up
in the morning to allow for leaving the garage five minutes earlier.
PACT members indicated that some drivers use the Golden Valley short-
cut, which is Douglas Drive around Highway 55. This saves substantial
time. Mark will advise drivers. PACT members indicated that the newer
drivers are not familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the park and ride
lot and often will be caught in the Highway 55/County Road 73 inter-
section. Mark will consider methods to have the new drivers trained in
this area.

IV. REVIEW OF MARKETING EFFORTS
Mark did an analysis on the use of the free ride coupons contained in
the March Plymouth on Parade newsletter. Only 80 were used on the
commuter/reverse commuter service and 38 on the internal circulator. It
appears that the coupons do not necessarily bring new customers, but are
used by existing customers.
The committee agreed to the necessity of restocking schedules in the
counter cards at various locations throughout the community when the new
schedules are available.
Mark Fuhrmann reported that the minicoach ridership at Music in Plymouth
was 348 passengers. He was pleased that, in many cases, children were
encouraging parents to use the bus.
Marketing efforts in 1985 have consisted of:
1. A four page Plymouth on Parade insert with free ridership coupon.
2. Articles in the Wayzata Weekly and Plymouth Post newspapers.
Additional marketing steps should include:
1. "Bring a Friend" program, encouraging people back to Metrolink in
the fall.
2. Preparation of cable TV spots.
3. Major employer contacts promoting the reverse commuter service.
Mark Fuhrmann and Frank Boyles will be responsible for completing these
items.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:13 p.m.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 11 at 7:00 p.m. in
the large office area conference room.
PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
August 7, 1985
PRESENT: Bob Burger, Jim Johnston, Boyer Palmer, Neil McMillin, Dale
Kennedy, Richard Conlin, Don Jordan, Frank Boyles, Blair Tremere,
Joe Ryan, Sherm Goldberg
Bob Burger called the meeting to order at 7:45 a.m.
He stated that the Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing on
the 1986-1990 Capital Improvement Program in September. Sherm Goldberg
reviewed each element of the Capital Improvement Program, including streets,
sanitary sewer, water and parks. He stated that the street work reflects
both development petitions, city work and county projects. Questions were
asked about the status of Tennant Company's development. Frank Boyles
advised that he has spoken to Tennant representatives who state that during
August they will provide an alignment for the sewer over their property.
Sherm Goldberg responded to a question about the City Urban Service Area
line and Metropolitan Area Urban Service line and whether they would be
adjusted in 1990.
Bob Burger reported that he and two other Development Council represen-
tatives had met with Blair Tremere and Joe Ryan to determine what could be
done to reduce the building permit processing time from two weeks to less
than a week. He stated that he found the staff to be limited and suggested
that bodies be added. The basic problem appears to be completing the
necessary plan reviews. This problem is compounded by inaccurate or
incomplete plans being received for a review. In addition to the addition
of personnel, a hierarchy system will be developed for contractors who have
a proven record of providing complete plans and whose construction reflects
the content of the plans. This "preferred builder" status will allow those
individuals to be approved on a fast track basis. On the other hand, those
who have no track record or a poor track record would presumably have to
wait longer.
Dale Kennedy stated that he was concerned about the new computer permit
issuance process and the fact that it was not responsive to emergency
repairs or routine installations. The elimination of a former "one stop"
shopping encourages people to forego a permit prior to completing such
work. Joe Ryan and Blair Tremere commented about the system stating that
they are evaluating the possibility of providing for a short form appli-
cation for such routine or emergency work which can be approved on the
spot. On the other hand, they stated that the 24 hour time required for
normal permits is reasonable given the type of information which must be
confirmed prior to actual issuance. They will report to the Development
Council on the progress of this "two track" system.
Blair Tremere reported that a number of personnel changes had been made in
the Building Inspection Department to speed up permit issuance. A temporary
plan checker is being used exclusively for plan checking. By the addition
of this position, turn around time has decreased from an average of two
weeks to four working days.
PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
August 7, 1985 7"'_'_

Bob Burger stated that the Council and Planning Commission have been working
on a major revision to the City's goals, objectives and criteria which were
originally adopted in 1972. This document reflects the City's mission and
intended outcomes. He suggested it highly for reading and a better under-
standing of the City's mission. He asked that a copy of the goals,
objectives and criteria be sent to Development Council members.
Discussion occurred with respect to a petition submitted by Trammel Crow and
the processing time involved.
A motion was made by Dale Kennedy, seconded by Don Gordan that the Develop-
ment Council strongly encourage that the Planning Commission conduct one or
extra meetings as necessary during the months of August and September in
order that petitions are not unduly delayed. Motion carried.
The Council asked that this information be forwarded to City Council members
and Planning Commissioners.
Bob Burger stated that for the next meeting he would like to meet with City
staff members to see where the application "squeeze" is. Development
Council members asked whether the appropriate City Council representative
and Planning Commission representative would be able to attend the next
meeting to discuss what can be done to assure that petitions are not delayed
because of the lack of Council or Commission meetings.
Bob Burger suggested that the Development Council meet in October rather
than November as originally scheduled. He will contact City staff members.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 a.m.

distributed a memorandum prepared by James M. Strommen
concerning Northwestern Bell's recent intrastate access

were discussed. It was then moved by Mr. DeGhetto, seconded
by Mr. Isom that the proposed 1986 budget, recommended by
the executive committee, be approved as submitted. Mr.
Nawrocki urged that the per vote assessment be set at $250
rather than the recommended figure so as to avoid wide
fluctuation in annual assessments. Upon vote, the original
motion carried without audible dissent.
13. Landfill Abatement Fees: A memorandum dealing
with the Metropolitan Landfill Abatement Act fees was distributed
at the meeting. Mr. Purdue recommended that the members of
the board review the memorandum and that this subject be
considered in depth at the next quarterly meeting of the
SRA. It was pointed out that both Mr. Nawrocki and Mr.
Brown participated in a Metropolitan Council advisory committee
dealing with the matter of the appropriate use of the fees
authorized in the Act. It was the consensus that this
matter should be a principal agenda item at the October 1985
board meeting.
14. Audit Report: Mr. Dalen reported that the audit
report of George 24. Hanson Company, P. A. is prepared but he
has not received copies for distribution. He indicated that

a position on the location of the convention center. Their position is:
"The TwinWest Chamber of Commerce represents over
1200 businesses in Crystal, Golden Valley, Hopkins,
Medicine Lake, Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth and
St. Louis Park. Included in our membership are
numerous hotels, motels, restaurants and other ser-
vice related businesses that would benefit from a

the upgrading of Highway 55, downtown Minneapolis
will become even more accessible.
The TwinWest Chamber of Commerce, in the interest
of our membership, supports the location of the
proposed convention center facility in downtown
Minneapolis."

Please distribute to governing body members
August 1, 1985
In our last issue we saw nothing that would substantially reduce interest rates. But rates did
drop almost a percentage point, of which about a fifth was lost. On July 11, the Bond Buyer
Index stood at 8.81%.
What will the proposed tax law do to tax exempt bonds? Trade groups, allied with some public
organizations, predict that industrial development, housing and student loans and private
purpose financings will stop if their financings are taxed. Nonsense. Private purpose financings
were and will be financed without tax exemption. But without the burden of billions of dollars
of tax exempt private financings, public purpose financings will be at much lower rates.
States and localities must vigorously oppose Treasury proposals to tax interest on bonds where
more than 1% of the public facility's capacity will be used by a private entity. If the facility
provides a necessary governmental function or service and will be publicly owned, the financing
should be exempt. This is not because of some "comity" observed by the federal government,
but is a right reserved by the states in delegating limited powers to the federal government.
Some counties, school districts and cities are considering leasing capital facilities. Many leases
are subject to annual appropriations and levy limits. However, if the length of the lease is
fairly short, it may be possible to enter into a lease/purchase financing whereby the entity ends
up with title. Other long-term leases may be possible where the private owner/lessor retains
ownership after the lease period.
Minnesota counties may enter into long-term lease/purchase arrangements to acquire jails.
Lease payments on these are outside of levy and debt limits. Such lease/purchase bond issues
should be taken to competitive sale, especially since the county pledges its full faith, credit and
taxing powers to the underlying lease, especially where bond insurance is available. Private
sales often cost the issuer substantially higher interest rates and/or higher issuance costs.
Sometimes an interest rate can appear attractive until one examines the negotiated
underwriting and issuance costs which inflate the lease payments even though they're not in the
"interest rate". Issuance and underwriting expenses are present value, not future value costs.
Some leasing companies reduce the net interest rate by subtracting investment yields during
and after construction! Looking at "net interest rates" alone can be costly.
Enjoy your summer!
Warmest regards,
Y

U.S. Department of Justice
Bureau of Justice Statistics
Felony Sentencing in 18
LocalJunsdietions
This report presents sentencing out-
comes in the felony courts of 18
predominantly urban jurisdictions for
the offenses of homicide, rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, bprglary, larceny,
and drug trafficking.
An earlier Bureau of Justice Sta-
tistics report described aggregate
stateside data on sentencing prac-
tices. To examine sentencing out-
comes in more detail, this study
collected and analyzed case -specific
data on the sentences imposed in 1983
on more than 15,000 felony offenders.
The 18 jurisdictions range in size
from Lancaster County (Lincoln, Neb.)
with a population of 192,884 to Les
Angeles, Calif., with R population of
2,966,850. The average population is
nearly 900,000, and the median popu-
lation is about 660,000. The juris-
dictions are located in 15 different
States and are distributed across the
major geographical regions of the
country: three are in the northeast,
seven in the south, five in the midwest,
and three in the west. The study
includes such major cities as Baltimore,
Miami, Denver, IVj a W&S Los
Angeles, Phoenix, Milwaukee, ani! New
Orleans. No claim is made here,
however, that the findings presented
statistically represent sentencing
patterns in all felony courts in the
Nation or in all urban jurisdictions.
1This study is drawn from a longer report
Sentencing Outcomes in 18 Felonv Courts
NCJ-97690 (forthcoming).
2Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report,
Sentencing Practices in 13 States, NCJ-95399,
October 1984.
One of the most serious gaps in our
knowledge of the criminal justice
system in the United States is reli-
able multijurisdictional data on the
sentencing of convicted felons.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics
began to fill this informational
need in 1984 with Sentencing Prac-
tices in 13 States, a report on
aggregate statewide data on felony
sentencing. The current special
report presents a wealth of addi-
tional data on felony sentencing in
18 mostly urban jurisdictions, in-
cluding such major cities as Balti-
more, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Or-
leans, and Phoenix.
By collecting case -specific data
on the sentences imposed on more
than 15,000 felony offenders in
1983, this study was able to meas-
(See appendix table 1 for a list of the
participating jurisdictions.)
Highlights
Principal findings from these 18
counties include the following:
• Forty-five percent of the sentences
for the felonies studied were to State
prison; 26% were to local jail (with or
without an additional probation sen-
tence); and 28% were to probation only.
• Those convicted of homicide were
most likely to be sentenced to prison
(85%) and those convicted of drug
May 1985
ure the use of different kinds and
degrees of sanctions for seven ma-
jor felonies in a variety of large
jurisdictions throughout the coun-
try. It was also able to analyze
the impact on sentencing patterns
of such factors as crime severity,
different types of sentencing sys-
tems, the number of conviction
offenses, and the use of pleas vs.
trials.
Special thanks are due to the
National Association of Criminal
Justice Planners, which conducted
the research under a cooperative
agreement with the Bureau of Jus-
tice Statistics, and to the many
individuals in the 18 jurisdictions
who assisted in the collection of
the data.

trafficking were least likely (23%).
• Average prison sentences for each
crime varied greatly among the juris-
dictions, but within each jurisdiction
sentence lengths were ordered with
great consistency.
• The use of jail in felony sentencing
varied substantially among the partici-
pating jurisdictions, ranging from less
than 1% of the sentences in Baltimore
City to half of the ann?eacec ,=ne.-
Henne-
pin County (Minngapolis).

My wife and I are very appreciative for the excellent
efforts of your police officers. My 17 -year-old son's
bicycle was stolen. The report of the theft was taken by
Officer Luke Wa;v. Within a few days after the report one of
your officers noted the bicycle lying in the Wayzata High

His fine work has made one 17 -!ear -old and his parents very

The comprehensive plan for the city of Plymouth reviewed by and on file at the
Council shows the southeast corner of County Rd. 6 and TH 101 as planned for
some commercial and high density residential uses. This is also true of the
areas in the other quadrants of that intersection. It appears that the city is
in the process of implementing its plan at this point by rezoning lands to be
consistent with the city plan.
State law requires that "a local governmental unit shall not adopt any official
control or fiscal device which is in conflict with its comprehensive plan or
which permits activity in conflict with metropolitan system plans." The
Council does not review local zoning or other regulatory measures because it is
assumed that they will be in accord with the local plan which the Council does
review. State law, in fact, prohibits the Council from directly reviewing and
intervening in rezonings because such matters are properly considered to be
more appropriately handled at the local government level. A new law (which
states that if a conflict exists between the plan and the zoning that the
zoning will supertede) does not change this basic requirement that there ought
not be a conflict.
If you feel that the city has violated some part of its due process in handling
your concern about the rezoning, you should consult an attorney familiar with
land use law in the metropolitan area. Perhaps before consulting a land use
attorney, an initial call to the city attorney would be a good place to seek
clarification of the city's due process requirements and perogatives.
Although the city planning commission recommended denial of the landowners'
plans and rezoning, planning commission recommendations are advisory to the
city council. It is not unusual for a city council to reverse a planning
commission recommendation, as frustrating as that may be for the parties to
such actions.

I am sorry that the Council cannot be more helpful to you. This does not
appear to be a situation in which the Council could justify its involvement,
however. It does appear that you are properly pursuing your concern by arguing
your case in local forums, which is the appropriate governmental level through
which to seek resolution of the issues you raise. Legal action, if warranted,
seems to be the next step to consider rather than Council intervention.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson:
Following your telephone call on August 5, I contacted our Planning Depart-
ment with regard to letters you have previously written on the Dave Johnson
petition. We indeed did receive both letters and each was attached to the
materials received by both the Planning Commission and City Council prior to
action on this matter. The Council is aware and sensitive to your position
on this issue prior to taking action.
I am enclosing for your review, a copy of the unofficial minutes of the duly
22 meeting. These minutes will be approved by the City Council on August
12. As I indicated, this is normally a routine item. As you can see in the
minutes, Councilmembers conditioned approval of the guide plan amendment on
various requirements. Page 233 of the minutes covers the conditions added
by the City Council in response to neighborhood concerns. The petitioner
will be required to landscape the site adjacent to the residential area to
90% year around capacity. This condition is specifically intended to
protect the residential character of your neighborhood from visual impact
caused by this commercial development. I think you will agree with me that
this corner of the community does require redevelopment so long as that
redevelopment can be accomplished with minimal impact to residents of our
community.
If you desire to share your position further with the Council, you are
welcome to call or write the Councilmembers (see attached list) or attend
the Council's August 19 Plymouth Forum at 7:00 p.m. in the City Center
conference room, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. If you plan to attend the Forum I
would appreciate your letting me know by August 14 so that I can schedule
you for this agenda.

Dear Mayor Davenport;
I'm writing.in reference to the availability of a
trunk or lateral being constructed along with the Pike
Lake Connector to service our property along Bass Lake
Road. We have much concern about this being done in the
Spring of 1986. We feel we've been held up far too long
by Tennants games. We would wish the City to persue the
avenue of running the line down the east side of the
Hennepin County Park Preserve. We will gladly give
easments through our property. Then Tennant and Mel
Astelford could play games with each other and let the
rest of us go to work.
I appreciate your response to my last letter. I
wasn't so much concerned by the thoughts of Tennant
selling as I was with the games being played with the City.
I would appreciate someone at the City letting me know
what happens on this deadline by Tennant.

family development in the form of Harrison Hills 2nd
Addition and would like to continue it on our land to

with a situation where a large company has been using
stalling tactics to keep from allowing the Pike Lake
Connector through their property. We would appreciate
any help you could give us in putting pressure on
Tennant to allow the alignment so the trunk can be
extended in the spring of 1986. The City bent over
backwards to give this company everything they wanted
and this is how they pay the community back. Don't you
get the feeling we've been chumped?

SUBJECT Monthly Billing From Hennepin County Adult COrrection Facility
Just a note of interest for you: In reviewing our bill for the
period ending June 30, 1985 we noted the name of a subject that
was not arrested by Officers in our City. In fact the arrest
occurred in Medicine Lake! Apparently we were erroneously charged
$234.00 and I personally contacted a member at the Adult Correction
Facility who readily handled the problem over the phone.
However, the interesting point is that the person said that Medicine
Lake does not pay any Workhouse bills. Apparently there is some
arrangement made with Hennepin County in which their bills are
paid for them. Perhaps this is part and parcel of their contract
with the Hennepin County Sheriff. But, in any event I think it's
just a continuation of someone taking unfair advantage of the system.

Dear Mr. Willis:

Thank you very much for your recent letter informing us of the
probable impact of the Garcia decision upon the City of Plymouth.
Your comments and suggestions are especially appreciated as we
attempt to garner as much information as possible from local
governments nationwide.
We continue to gather facts and figures which confirm our
projections that the Supreme Court's decision, as well as the
application of laws and regulations to enforce that decision,
pose severe economic hardships for local governments and states
in a variety of different ways. In our efforts to serve
effectively as the Administration's liaison to local and state
governments, we appreciate your assistance and assure you our
continued cooperation in this matter of vital importance.
We know that you will continue to closely monitor discussions on
this issue which are underway within the Congress. I would ask
that we be kept apprised of any additional action your
municipality takes in this area. For example, if your City
Council adopts any resolutions favoring legislative action on the
issue, I would appreciate a copy.
Again, thank you for writing. We look forward to working with
you on this issue.

This letter is written in response to your July 25, 1985 correspondence to Mr. James
G. Willis, City Manager, City of Plymouth. Mr. Willis is out of the office until mid-
August, therefore, I am taking this opportunity to provide you with information in
response to your letter.
I have enclosed a copy of the General Development Plan for the Mixed Planned Unit Dev-
elopment known as "Northwest Business Campus". From your letter, I assume that as you
were traveling through Plymouth you noticed the large office complex currently being
constructed by the Prudential Insurance Company. The office complex located on the
east side of I-494 and north of Highway 55 is part of an overall development as dia-
grammed on the enclosed plan.
The development consists of approximately 160 acres and anticipates uses of a commer-
cial and industrial nature. Currently, three office/showroom buildings have been con-
structed, and the large office building you saw is currently under construction.
Prudential Insurance Company has most recently applied for an Amendment to the approved
Development Plan calling for the hotel-motel/office complex to be relocated in the
office/office research area (Area A).
I have also enclosed a current Zoning Map of the entire City which highlights the
location of the Northwest Business Campus.
In case you desire more detailed information, please feel free to contact our office
with additional questions, or contact Mr. Ron Pentz, Prudential Insurance Company (612/

Hopefully, this information will assist you.

Dear Mark:
I have enclosed information extracted from proposals we have received from four
interested parties in response to the request for proposal we sent out several weeks
ago.
I have enclosed a copy of the request for proposal. It was reviewed and approved by
the HRA and the HRA has now had an opportunity to review the proposals.
The HRA established September 12, 1985 as a target date for having interviews with
the proposers; prior to that time, we will be directing to the proposers a number of
questions that the HRA has. The time frame of development that was suggested in the
request for proposal obviously will be extended at least by several months because of
the time needed to fully evaluate and consider the proposals and the results of the
interviews.
Milt Dale and I will keep you informed as to the steps we take during the coming
month and we welcome any suggestions or input you may have.
Incidentally, some of the proposals contain financial data that we have indicated to
the proposers would be held in confidence. I would appreciate it if you would
respect that.

I received your letter of duly 23, 1985. I conveyed the letter to the Planning Commis-
sion at the duly 24, 1985 meeting when the Public Hearing was held on the proposed re-
visions to the Goals, Objectives, and Criteria.
The Commission has recommended that the Goal on Economic Vitality, Objective No. 1,
Criteria No. 1, be amended to read as follows:
Maintain the amount of publically held tax exempt land at a reasonable level com-
mensurate with the City's needs; and, monitor the amount of tax exempt land held
by others for periodic evaluation.
The Commission and Council both discussed the recommended draft at a joint study meet-
