A number of observations are in order:
1. Internal circulator ridership dropped somewhat in September to
an average of 42 passengers per day as a result of students
returning to school. The average ridership for January was 51,
February - 50, March - 56, April - 55, May - 36, dune - 53, duly
52, and August 57.
2. The commuter/ reverse commuter portion of the service averaged
322 persons per day in September. Commuter/ reverse commuter
averages have been 307 for January, 292 - February, 311 - March,
295 - April, 298 - May, 314 dune, 297 - duly, and August -
292. This portion of the service should continue to strengthen
as the year progresses.
3. Year to date averages are 303 for the commuter/reverse commuter,
50 for the internal circulator and 353 system -wide.
2. FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT - CONGRESSIONAL ACTION -- Attached is an
update provided by the League of Minnesota Cities on congressional
action to date on the Fair Labor Standards Act. According to the
League, a bill has been approved by the Senate Labor and Human
Resources Committee which would provide permanent relief from the
federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The bill is a compromise based on
negotiations with members of Congress and representatives of
organized labor, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the
National Association of Counties, the U.S. Conference of Mayor and
the National League of Cities. This Senate bill provides:
1) A state or local government may grant employees comp time in
lieu of paid overtime at a rate of one and one-half times
the regular rate of pay.
2) Special detail work by public safety employees on an
optional basis will be defined as separate employment and
not added together with the employee's regular hours for
purposes of computing overtime.
3) A person who performs work on a volunteer basis for a state
or local government will not be deemed to be an employee
under the FLSA even if expense money, reasonable benefits,
or a nominal fee is provided by the state or locality.
4) The FLSA shall not apply to employees of state and local
governments until April 15, 1986.
Since it is not certain that the provisions of the Senate bill will
remain in their present form, cities are being advised to continue
their present policies involving overtime and other FLSA regulations
until a bill is actually enacted into law. (I-2)

RESTRICTIONS ON TAX-EXEMPT FINANCING; MUNICIPAL BONDS

Consideration of severe restrictions on the use of tax-exempt
financing by the House Ways and Means Committee concern all cities.
Serious threats to cities' continued authority to finance improvements
and assist development are contained in both the Treasury II and
Rostenkowski proposals for federal tax reform (see attachments).
Officials from cities in the Third Congressional District are invited
to participate in a discussion of those proposed restrictions and
their negative impact on the costs and effectiveness of city programs
and services see above
The purpose of the meeting will be to determine what course(s) of
action are appropriate to inform Congressman Frenzel of city concerns
in these areas. Similar meetings were previously held to discuss the
impact of proposals to eliminate state -local tax deductibility and to
coordinate actions by Third District cities to discuss concerns with
Representative Frenzel, a senior member of the House Ways and Means
Committee, which is drafting federal tax reform legislation.
Enclosed please find a copy of analyses completed by the City of
Golden Valley demonstrating the serious problems created by proposed
federal restrictions on the use of tax -increment financing. It is
important for cities to examine similar circumstances and to consider
producing such information to emphasize the damage to current programs
OVER
^iversity avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 551 01 C612)227-5600
and future development that will result from federal tax reform
proposals.
Please request similar analysis of your city's revenue bond and/or
tax increment financing programs that would be affected by federal tax
reform measures (see attached information on proposals). You may wis'a
to bring that information and analysis with you to the October 21
meeting.
Jim Holmes, attorney with Holmes and Graven, will attend to advise
on his discussions this week with congressional staff responsible for
drafting federal tax reform proposals on tax-exempt financing.

TAX REFORM THREAT TO MUNICIPAL BOND AUTHORITY
M - Lo
Indications from Congress signal serious concerns for cities.
This week the House Ways and Means committee is scheduled to begin
work on federal tax reform legislation in order to report out a bill
by mid-October. If as anticipated, committee members vote to hold
executive committee sessions, decisions will be made in secret.
By the middle of November, House leadership hopes to gain approval
of rules allowing only an up or down vote on the entire bill, with
no amendments permitted.
The issue of municipal bonds is a fundamental and major tax reform
issue that cities view as a central and basic interest. Since many
House members do not fully understand or even acknowledge the
seriousness of the threat restrictions pose to cities, it is
imperative that such information and sense of urgency be communicated
now.
1. Treasury II would eliminate all industrial development bonds and
remove the tax exemption for any G.O. or revenue bond if more
than 1 percent of the use of the financed facility benefitted a
private taxpayer. In addition, new restrictions on G.O. and
revenue bonds would be imposed.
2. Congressional staff estimate that the federal government could
raise $16 billion over the next 5 years by eliminating private
purpose bonds. Concern is growing that modifications of the
proposed termination and attendant restrictions on all bond
activity will force other revenue -raising tax changes. So if
some private purpose bond authority is maintained, restrictions
on municipal bonds are likely to follow.
There appears to be general agreement by members of the House Ways
and Means Committee to reduce the volume of private purpose as well
as G.O. and revenue bonds, but there is no apparent consensus yet on
how to accomplish that. What does appear likely is that the committee
may leave to staff the determination of a case-by-case treatment of
the uses of municipal bonds.
_= ar�ity avG�ue east, st.,a, mmnes� to 5S O ! (61 2J 227-5600
1A- 0
Targeted for most severe cutbacks, then, would be "private purpose"
bonds. Municipal bonds have not come in for as much attention and
thus could easily be viewed as likely sources of revenue and ones
that will be further restricted by such limits as prohibiting
advance refunding and reducing arbitrage. All such decisions may
be left to committee staff to determine since committee members may
view these changes as technical, not fully appreciating the impact at
the local level.
Consider the following possibilities:
1. Removal of tax exemption for any municipal bond backed by a letter
of credit from a financial institution which has federal deposit
insurance, such as the FDIC.
2. Repeal of the deduction for banks and financial institutions that
purchase city debt. Immediate impact will be on short-term
municipal obligations, such as tax and bond anticipation notes.
Increases in the cost of short-term borrowing for cities and
schools and local government generally would be substantial.
3. Prohibition of all advance refunding (except for the federal
government) used to retire previously issued bonds to accomplish
cost saving and restructure debt service.
4. Extention of reporting requirements for all G.O. and revenue
bonds, increasing city administrative costs.
5. Limitations on arbitrage to require cities to rebate "excess"
arbitrage on public purpose bonds to the U.S. Treasury. This
increases cost of bonding to cities while simply increasing the
earnings of bond counsels.
LMC AND NLC POSITIONS:
No new restrictions on municipal authority to issue traditional
public purpose bonds. A better definition of traditional public
purpose bonds to cover publicly owned and operated facilities that
are defined as private purpose under existing law is needed.
No reduction in authority of cities to issue sewer and solid waste
bonds or multifamily housing bonds. NLC will not oppose proposed
techncial changes to housing bonds to provide for adjustments for
family size and mixed units in the low-income set-aside units.
LMC favors continuation of present authority.
No elimination of small issue IDBs for industrial parks, hospitals,
an single family housing but some criteria of need or distress is
appropriate for issuance, according to NLC. LMC favors continuation
of present authority of cities to issue IDBs without restrictions.
No restriction on exempt facilities such as airports, docks, wharves,
hydroelectric plants, mass communications vehicles, heating and
OVER
M-(40
cooling facilities, electric and gas plants and hazardous waste
facilities - provided such facilities are available to and serve the
general public and provide that the issuer has planning, operational
regulatory, or supervisory control over the facility, according to
NLC policy. LMC supports continuation of current authority.

SUMMARY OF FEDERAL TAX REFORM ALTERNATIVES PRESENTED BY STAFF
OF JOINT TAX COMMITTEE ON SEPT. 26, 1985
(ROSTENKOadSKI ALTERNATIVES)
The following are provisions that directly affect city interests:
1. Disallow deduction for state and local sales taxes and personal
property taxes.
2. Partial state -local income and real property tax deduction of
the greater of $1,000 (or $500 for unmarried taxpayers), or the
portion in excess of 5 percent of adjusted gross income.
Effective after Dec. 31, 1985
3. Rehabilitation tax credit of 15 and 20 percent would be reduced
to a 10 percent credit for buildings constructed before 1935. The
25 percent credit for certified historic structures would be
reduced to 20 percent (and the credit for depreciation would be
reduced by the full amount of the rehabilitation tax credit).
Effective for property placed in service
on or after January 1, 1986
4. Traditional activities of states and local government would
be financed with tax-exempt revenue bonds only for specific public
purposes. Those listed are schools, highways, government buildings,
government-owned solid waste and sewage disposal systems and
government-owned water and electric facilities as well as for
government operating expenses.
The one percent rule contained in Treasury II has been altered to
permit the lesser of 5 percent of the value of the bond - or $5
million - to be used by other than government units.
(Recent discussions with House staff, IRS and Treasury officials
indicate that likely difficulties will be experienced re: where
more than 5 percent of the bond proceeds benefitted, directly or
indirectly , another (non-governmental) party, proceeds would be
taxable.
5. Facilities listed as exempt for purposes of revenue bond
financing are: certain airport facilities; certain docks and
wharves; facilities for furnishing water; sewage and solid waste
facilities as generally defined under current law.
=- u,7 vers;ty avenue east, st.
pain, minnesota 55 " u ! (� 1 c' 227-5b0
Non-governmental property financed with tax-exempt bonds must be
owned by the State of local government unit or be a 501.c3 tax
exempt organization), except for mousing financea with mortgage
revenue bonds and multi -family housing.
6. Rules that currently apply as requirements and limitations for
Industrial Development Bonds are extended to all nongovernmental
bonds.
7. Continued use of revenue bond -financed nongovernmental property
would be required to qualify under such limitations re: uses in
order to maintain their tax-exempt financing.
8. A per capita volume limit is placed on all nongovernmental bonds
except for some airport bonds and on the portion of government
bonds in excess of $1 million used by persons other than the state
or local government unit.
The annual nongovernment revenue bond volume limit for each state
and local issuers is set at $150 per resident (reduced to $100
after 1987). At least 50 percent of that volume ($75 per capita)
is reserved for housing purposes (25 percent - $37.50 per capita -
after 1987), unless the State specifically provides otherwise (by
legislation).
The maximum amount of tax-exempt bond financing that could be
used by nongovernmental interests is limited to the lesser of
5 percent or $5 million noted above in
9. IDB arbitrage and investment restrictions are extended to all
revenue bonds and restrictions on early issuance of bonds as well
as limits on temporary periods during which unlimited arbitrage
may be earned are established.
10. Advance refunding of all tax-exempt bonds is prohibited (and is
defined to include any refunding that occurs more than 30 days
before refunded bonds are redeemed).
11. For bonds issued after September 25, 1985, treatment of arbitrage
invested in 3rd party annuity contracts must conform to treatment
of such proceeds invested directly in state and local government
pension programs.
12. Reporting requirements for private activity (IDB) bonds are
extended to all tax-exempt bonds.
13. The requirements listed above would apply to bonds issued after
December 31, 1985.
14. Transitional exceptions would be permitted for "projects in
process before September 26, 1985," and for limited refunding of
bonds that could no longer be issued under the option.
15. The interest deduction for financial institutions and banks for
OVER
purchase or carrying of tax-exempt obligations is disallowed after
1985.

MEMORANDUM, October 10, 1985
TO: Mayors, Managers, Clerks: Third District Cities
M - k -P
FROM: Ann Higgins, Staff Associate
SUBJECT: Additional enclosure re: impact of loss of tax-exempt
status for municipal bonds
Attached please find the memorandum referred to in my previous
mailing on the meeting of Third District cities (October 21).
I referred there to an analysis of revelopment activities that
will be adversely affected by proposed tax reform restrictions
on tax exempt financing as done by the City of Golden Valley.
It was overlooked in putting together the materials for the
meeting and is enclosed here for your use. Please consider
making similar analyses of the measures that would affect
current or anticipated bonding programs for your city. Such
information will be invaluable in demonstrating the damage
resulting from proposed limitations and reduction of tax-
exempt financing authority for cities.

second employer, and then directly pays the public safety
employee).
In cases in which full-time state or local employees on an
optional basis work part-time occasionally and sporadically in
a different capacity from their primary employment in a
jurisdiction, the two jobs will not be treated as one for the
purposes of determining overtime liability under the FLSA.
Regardless of the existence of a :mutual aid agreement between
/ two or more jurisuietions, a state or local employee may serve
V as a volunteer in another jurisdiction without the primary
employer being deemed a joint employer under the FLSA.
Volunteers: a person who performs work on a volunteer basis
for a state or local government will not be deemed to be an
employee under the FLSA even if expense money, reasonable
benefits, or a nowinal fee is provided by the state or
locality. The Department of Labor will be required to issue
regulations not later tnan six months after the effective date
of the legislation to determine the appropriate amount of such
payments.
Effective date: the FLSA shall not apply to employees of
state and local governments until April 15, 1986.
Final Senate action on the proposal is expected this week. The
bill will then go to the House Labor Standards Subcommittee and
then to the House Education and Labor Committee, followed by
action by the full House, possibly as early as the end of
October. Differences in the Senate and House versions of the
bill will be worked out by a conference committee and after
pasage of a compromise measure by both houses of Congress, the
legislation will go to the Pre:3ident. If there are no major
dificulties, the President could receive the bill for signature
the first week of November.
It is not certain that all of the provisions of the Senate bill
outlined above will remain as they are in the final version of
the bill. However, there is hope that there will be at least
some kind of relief from the FLSA by the end of the year.
Because of uncertainty as to what form the relief will take, it
is important that cities continue their present policies
involving overtime and other FLSA regulations until the law is
actually changed.

PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT
September 11, 1985
PRESENT: Dale Knutson, David Brownell, Dennis Jacobson, Dick Maki, Ray
Lottie, LeRoy Mikkelson, Mark Fuhrmann, Frank Boyles, dim Johnson
I. APPROVAL OF DULY 17, 1985 MINUTES
The minutes of the duly 17, 1985 meeting were approved as submitted.
II. RIDERSHIP STATISTICS
Frank Boyles reported on the commuter/ reverse commuter and internal
circulator ridership statistics for the first seven months of the year.
He indicated that the internal circulator is slowly growing, while the
commuter/ reverse commuter has remained relatively stable. Commuter/
reverse commuter ridership has not dropped as one would normally expect
for the summer months. There was concurrence that this may be largely
due to the construction work on I-394 and on Highway 55.
Mark Furhmann reported that the internal circulator noon time service
has been cancelled and that four to six complaints have been received
over a month period on this cancellation. The driver of the internal
circulator has expressed concern about making change for a 60¢ rather
than the previous 50¢ fare. dim Johnson indicated that he will monitor
the above complaints and check on how the new service to Ridgehaven is
catchino on for the next meeting.
Committee members discussed the fact that the park and ride lot
regularly contains 30 to 35 cars daily. Frank Boyles will contact MnDOT
representatives to initiate planning steps for construction of Phase II
of the lot.
III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM DULY MEETING
a. Mark Fuhrmann reported that the new schedules are printed and were
distributed in early September. By splitting the schedule into two -
one containing commuter - internal circulator information and the
other containing reverse commuter - internal circulator information,
printing costs should be more modest in the future and it will be
possible to use the schedules themselves as a better marketing
tool. Each service described on the schedule is also shown on a map
to increase understandability. Frank Boyles stated that the
schedules should be distributed to Plymouth businesses who received
counter cards last year.
b. Mark indicated that the 6:45 a.m. time adjustments had been made to
compensate for the new stops at Fox Forest. No problems have been
observed.

c. Frank Boyles stated that it is unlikely that traffic signals can
be retimed along Highway 55 since this is a State roadway. He
will investigate with Fred Moore what steps should be taken to
request that MnDOT look at traffic light timing, especially during
the evening rush hour.
d. Mark Fuhrmann said that he spoke with drivers about occasional
passenger transfers that become necessary when a passenger gets on
the wrong bus. He emphasized that while we do not want to
encourage passengers to miss their bus, that transfer is possible
if the drivers stay in touch with one another.
e. Fare boxes/shocks - Fare boxes will be installed on two mini -
coaches which are periodically substituted on Metrolink routes.
The shocks have been checked and found to be acceptable.
f. Drivers will keep in touch by radio to assure that both use the
Golden Valley cut-off or remain on Highway 55 to minimize delays
in transfer at the park and ride lot.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN
Jim Johnson reported that the HOV lanes on I-394 are scheduled to be
opened this fall. We expect to use them either via County Road 18 or
Winnetka. The use of the HOV lanes may require scheduling revisions as
may the winter weather and the route modifications which have been made
to date. He will report in more detail about both at the next meeting.
The Committee agreed that notices should be distributed to passengers
letting them know about the HOV lanes and possible changes before the
next meeting. A survey will then be conducted to assist in determining
which types of changes will be acceptable prior to the December meeting.
Mark Furhmann reported that bus stop signs had been moved to enhance
safety both at Fernbrook and County Road 9 and County Road 15 and
Highway 55. Jim Johnson was asked to check into customer complaints
about the Fernbrook Lane driver.
V. MARKETING
Jim Johnson state that Peter Schauer would be present in September. He
suggested that he and Frank Boyles meet with Mr. Schauer to chart out
marketing for the remainder of 1985 and 1986. Frank Boyles stated tht
he would have someone from his office either ride the reverse and
commuter buses or ride each route to identify the names and addresses of
businesses served in preparation for a marketing effort designed to
increase ridership on the reverse commuter service. Frank Boyles
mentioned that he had been asked to speak at an upcoming transit
conference about marketing Metrolink. A videotape is to be prepared for
showing at the conference in late October. He also stated that he would
be attending the International City Mangement Association conference in
October to participate in a panel discussion regarding transit improve-
ments around the nation.

Mr. Terry reviewed his request and explained that they were
decreasing the size of the proposed addition in order to
maintain the same setback as the house.
Commissioner Quass stated that he had concerns with why the
addition was not being located on the existing slab. Mr.
Terry responded that it would eliminate natural light to
both the kitchen and dining room areas of the home.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Musatto to approve the variance request for
Mike Terry located at 18530 22nd Avenue North for the
following reasons and subject to the following conditions:
1. The variance criteria have been met.
2. This would not establish an undesirable precedent
in this neighborhood.

Board of Zoning Minutes
September 17, 1985
Chairman Marofsky introduced the request submitted by Roger ROGER THOMPSON
Thompson for a variance from the required side yard sertback 2410 URBANDALE LN
for property located at 2410 Urbandale Lane as described in
the September 6, 1985 Staff report. Mr. Thompson reviewed
his request and explained how the existing deck is located
approximately 6 inches inside the required 15 foot side yard
setback. He stated that the deck was constructed with the
original home and he didn't realize at that time that it did
encroach into the required side yard setback.
Commissioner Quass inquired of Mr. Thompson as to why he is
not using the 10 feet that he currently has rather than
going to 12 feet. Mr. Thompson explained that 10 feet was
really not enough to do what they wanted to do with the
addition. He also noted that they would be having a door
exiting on the Southside of the proposed addition.
The Board inquired whether or not Mr. Thompson would be
putting a porch off that exit. He responded that he had no
plans at this time but could not speak for a future home
owner. Discussion continued regarding the Ordinance setback
of 50 foot front yard, which was required at the time when
this home was constructed.
Mr. Thompson reviewed the variance criteria noting that this
is the only location that the addition could go; that this
is a corner lot, which requires a 50 foot front yard
setback, which restricts alternate layouts of the home. He
went on to state that this addition was proposed to increase
the value of the home, for their personal benefit which
would not be detrimental to the public health and welfare of
the surrounding area.
Commissioner Quass stated that he did not feel this was
unique to this lot since they have lived with a 10 foot wide
porch on this home for 13 years. Chairman Marofsky stated
that he had concern with the future homeowners of this lot
and the neighboring lot wanting to expand more and using
this request as grounds for additional variance request.
Commissioner Plufka stated that they do not meet the
variance criteria; however, this is a different situation
since they do have to maintain the 50 foot front yard
setback.
Discussion ensued regarding the previous Ordinance
requirements of a 50 foot front yard and possibly directing
the Planning Commission to review the Ordinance to allow all
older plats that have a 50 foot front yard setback to be
changed to a 35 foot setback.

Board of Zoning Minutes
August 12, 1985
MOTION was made by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Musatto to approve the variance request for
Roger Thompson located at 2410 Urbandale Lane for the
following reasons and subject to the following conditions:
1. No other variances are granted or implied.
2. The existing deck will be removed.
Commissioner Plufka stated that this does set a precedent
because of the property having two 50 foot front yard
setbacks and the abutting property has no windows on that
side of the house that adjoins this property.
Commissioner Bigelow stated that this parcel is unique
because this is the only way this house could have been
placed on this lot.
Roll call vote 4 ayes 1 nay. Chairman Marofsky voted nay. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED
Motion carried.

SUBJECT: Final Report --School Zone Accident Prevention Project
The school zone accident prevention project has been completed. A total
of 61.5 hrs. were spent on the project which resulted in 120 citations
being issued. With an average rate of almost two tags per hour, I feel
the program was an unqualified success. Much of that success can be traced
to two individuals, Dan Twaddle and Joel Franz, who really put forth an
extraordinary effort. Franz averaged 2.95 tags per hour while Twaddle
produced 2.7 per hour. Between the two of them, they accounted for 73 tags
or 61% of the total even though they spent only 42% of the total time.

Development Committee.
ust as the rule of
thumb for successful
real estate is location,
IQcation, location, the
rule of thumb for recycling
succes's is markets, markets,
markets.
At present, much emphasis
is placed on public education—
getting people to recycle more
of their glass, cans, plastic,
newspaper, office paper and
cardboard. Less emphasis is
being placed on the poor
middle man or woman who's
trying to make a living from
recycling. And even less on
ex0loring new markets or
expanding existing markets for
recyclable goods.
Everyone agrees that
recycling is a worthwhile effort.
Disagreement begins when you
talk about the profitability in
recycling.
Most, if not all, multi -
material recyclers in.Minnesota
are losing money. Why? Because
they are subjected to a simple
supply -and -demand market
place. The more we collect, the
more we depress the markets,
driving prices down.
A public service is being pro-
vided, but small and medium-
sized recyclers can't make a
profit after paying the costs of
transportation and other
overhead. What is the answer?
Government subsidies? I don't
think so. I believe the key to
our recycling efforts is
markets, markets, markets!
❑
Changes have occurred, in
recyclable markets.
Marketing is key''
to recycle effort
Most recyclers are losing money
By Gary Botzek
Newspaper used to be
collected by Boy Scouts and
other do -good groups. Because
of the irregularity of supply,
the price remained high. Today
curbside pickup is the way
most newspaper is collected,
resulting in more paper but a
low price. -
Aluminum is.the success
story of recycling. Well over 50
percent of all aluminum con-
sumed in Minnesota is being
recycled. Other states claim as
high as 75 percent..What has
that done to the market price?
From a high of 57 cents a
pound in August 1983, the
price paid to recyclers dropped
to 35 cents a pound last June 1.
Tin and bi-metal cans aren't
in demand. Recyclers can't give
them away. Junkyards want car
hulks and old farm machinery,
not Pepsi cans or tin -coated
steel Campbell's soup cans.
In the glass markets, beer
and soft drinks fill 46 percent
of all glass containers. But only
about 7.5 percent of the total". "
glass used in 1984 was recycled.
Plastic is expected to steal
from the market shares of
aluminum, bi-metal and tin
cans, and especially glass. For
example, the liquor market,
which is almost all in glass, is
expected to shift"to about so
Percent plastic in 10 years.
Now much recycling of plastic
presently takes place? Next to
none!
So what do we do? Abandon
recycling and burn everything?
" No one believes burning is the
total answer. Burning steel or
glass or aluminum provides no
energy whatsoever, and is in
fact a net energy loss.
�NlU� p�_�
stftf,
In Megatrends, John Naisbitt
talked about the new "global"
society we live in. Minnesota
can't be an island unto itself,
whether in business or agri-
culture or recycling. If the
markets for waste paper are in
Japan, we must find a way to
get our waste paper to the Far
East. If better aluminum prices
can be obtained from Alcoa or
Reynolds for multiple railroad
carloads, we must "pool"
materials in a cooperative
marketing effort.
Tremendous economic
development potential exists in
recycling. Yes, there are dollars
in that garbage—but we need a
de -tinning operation in Minne-
sota, to separate the tin coating
from the steel cans. We need a
glass cleaning or betterment
process to recycle more glass.
We need a waste.oil re -refining
plant within the borders of this
state.
What is the government's
role? Should government
"force" markets to develop by
legislating mandates as the
legislature did with tires, for
example? As of last July 1, no
tires can be buried in Minnesota
landfills. First state in the
nation to do this.
Good public policy? Yes,
indeed; but what are we"
supposed to do with all the
tires?
A more useful role for gov-
ernment would be to "invest"
in markets. Buy recycled paper..
Use shredded tires in building
roads. Set the example.
In addition, government
should serve as a financing
partner with private -sector
entrepreneurs. It should help
entrepreneurs expand or
improve Minnesota-based
markets or establish new small
and medium-sized businesses
to fill the void that now exists.
The new grant and loan
program administered by the
Metro Council from the sur-
charge on landfilled garbage is
a step in the right direction
for public-private cooperation.
Truly a public-private partner-
ship is needed if recycling
is going to survive in this state.
I for one hope it does. ■

HENNEPIN PARKS FACTS
s
The Hennepin County Board, once again, in a letter to the editor on
September 29th, has bemoaned the fact that they don't have control
over regional parks in Hennepin County. They recommend doing away
with the elected Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District Board and
assignment of the parks to a department in Hennepin County
government. The two arguments advanced by the County Board for
this change are self-serving and false.
First, the County Board argues that the Park District Board is
"virtually invisable." Not true. The non-partisan park
commissioners are elected directly by the voters. These voters
receive direct benefit from the services provided by the park
district. ver 2 million user occasions annually attest to the
visibility. I believe individual citizens can be trusted to vote
in their own best interest.
Secondly, the County Board argues that the Park District Board
"overrode County recommendations for a hold -the -line budget of $7.4
million." Not true. The Hennepin County Board reviewed the park
district budget on August 27th and did not recommend any spending
cuts. They discussed several program cuts but were una le to agree
on any reductions. I can only conclude that they found the budget
to be reasonable. What the County Board did do was recommend that
the park district "creatively finance" itsEudget by counting two
years of regional park operation and maintenance funds in -1986,
thereby guaranteeing a park budget deficit of $1.2 million in
1987. This is certainly contrary to the legislature's intent to
provide a stable and supplemental source of revenue for the
operation and maintenance of regional parks. The Park District
Board, prudently, rejected this "creative financing" plan, choosing
rather to finance 1986 operations with 1986 dollars.
C �
Letter to the Editor - 2 - October 4, 1985
For the record, the park district budget for 1986 will increase
10.91% Clearly a reasonable budget increase given the fact that the
park district will serve 50% more users over the next 18 months and
will be operating eight new facilities in 1986. In fact, the 1986
budget increase is comparable to Te -T0.8% increase approved by the
County Board in 1985.
The major change to the Hennepin Park 1986 budget is the removal of
Minneapolis from the parks tax base. This action shifts .34 mills
to suburban taxpayers. This was done in recognition of a long
standing problem of tax burden and use inequity for regional parks
between Minneapolis and Suburban taxpayers. .This change was
enacted by the State legislature who also substantially increased
state/local government assistance to Surburban Hennepin
municipalities to offset the removal of Minneapolis from the t
Hennepin Parks tax base. The result was establisment of the
Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District as a special park district
with a tax base consisting of Suburban Hennepin County. If the
County Board were truely interested in the County property tax
burden, rather than political sourgrapes, they would act to reduce
the County government budget by the park district's 1985 tax levy
requirement. Instead they point their fingers while quietly
reaping a tax levy windfall of $5.6 million.
Hennepin Parks are well run and administered, due primarily to the
political independence of the Park District Board. The Park
District Board is visable, responsive and responsible. The
financial stability of Hennepin Parks is excellent and of public
record.

1986 OPERATING BUDGET FACT SHEET
Based on the preliminary approval of the operating budget and current
estimates of assessed valuation for Suburban Hennepin County, the District
Operating Budget for 1986 will require a mill levy of 1.16 mills. This is an
increase of .45 mills over 1985. The increase is attributable to the
following:
Amount Mill Levy Impact
Exemption of City of Minneapolis from
District property tax base (based on
1985 assessed valuation) $1,845,910 .34

o Assessed Valuation Increase in
Suburban Hennepin County [164,560] [.03]
o From State Operations and
Maintenance Funding [600,000] [.11]
Impact on Average Homeowner
o The average house in Suburban Hennepin County for discussion purposes is
$75,000 in 1985. That is the same figure for 1986.
o The formula for 1986 levying of taxes is as follows:
18% of first $64,000 or $11,520
29% of balance or 3,190
Total $14,710
$14,710 (x) .001164 = $17.12
o The average house in Suburban Hennepin County would pay $17.12 in taxes
for 1986 or an increase of $6.38 over the $10.74 in taxes paid in 1985.
o Had Minneapolis remained in the District tax base, the cost for 1986
would have been $11.40 (difference of $5.72).

Municipal Legislative Commission
1313 East Highway 13
Burnsville, MN -55337
Dear Md) r6 Morrison:
At our October 7 meeting I asked Plymouth City Councilmembers to reconsider
their September 9 vote to discontinue participation in the Municipal
Legislative Commission in 1986. After some discussion the motion to
participate for 1986 was adopted - but by only a 3 -to -2 vote. One of the
dissenting votes was cast by the Deputy Mayor who will be succeeding me in
January, and the other by a Councilmember who polled four legislators, all
of whom questioned the effectiveness of the MLC.
While I am pleased about our continued participation in the Municipal
Legislative Commission for 1986, I have been asked by our City Council -
members to share their concerns with you in hopes that the Commission might
redirect its efforts. Specifically, our Council suggests the following for
your consideration:
1. The Commission's work agenda has become overly broad dealing with a
considerable number of other issues besides local government aid --
the original mission of the group. A conscious effort should be made
to narrow the focus of the MLC to issues directly related to local
government aid/municipal finances.
2. The publicity efforts of the MLC should be closely scrutinized,
cutback and redirected. Much of the publicity previously provided
has been self-serving, apparently designed to justify membership in
the group rather than to convey information to Commission members.
Moreover, the information often duplicated reports which had already
been provided by our City Manager.
3. The Commission should adopt objectives annually against which
progress in the following year can be gauged.
4. Enhanced efforts should be made to establish cooperative relation-
ships with legislators of member communities. When asked, three of
our five State legislators did not believe that the Municipal Legis-
lative Commission did an effective job in communicating with them.
Our Council will be monitoring the progress of the Municipal Legislative
Commission during 1986. The Council's decision to participate in 1987 will
be largely influenced by the progress made by the Commission on the points
outlined above. We look forward to the opportunity of working with you and

At their October 7 meeting the City Council adopted the 1986 City budgets.
Because you had requested funding support from the City for 1986, I am
writing this letter to you.
As you know, the City received funding requests from nine human service
agencies in the total amount of $62,500, while only $35,000 was available to
fund these requests. Consequently, it was necessary for the Council to
prioritize each of the funding requests. This was difficult task since each
of the human service agencies which requested funds performs a valuable
service to community residents. After considerable discussion of the issue,
the City Council elected to provide full or partial funding to the following
groups: West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board, Northwest Hennepin
Human Services Planning Council, West Hennepin Community Center, Plymouth
Domestic Assault Intervention Program, and Suburban Community Services.
Taken together, the funding support provided to these five agencies
exhausted the money available in the 1986 City budgets for this purpose.
I appreciate the time and effort you spent in presenting your funding
request to the City Council. Thank you for the worthwhile services you
provide.

At their October 7 meeting the City Council adopted the 1986 City budgets.
The adopted budgets contain an allocation to assist your organization in
funding for 1986. The allocation contained in the budget for 1986 is
$3,000. Your original request of $5,841 was based upon an assumption that
the entire population of the City is served by your organization. As
practical matter, your service area is more like one-half of the City from a
population perspective. Therefore, the City Council approved your funding
request based upon service to approximately one-half of the City's
population. They also indicated that your 1987 request should reflect this
fact as well.
In order to obtain your allocation it will be necessary to submit invoices

Dear Wes:
CITY C�
PLYMOUTH+
As Mayor of Plymouth, I've had the good fortune to watch a transition occur
in our community on a neighborhood -by -neighborhood basis. The transfor-
mation to which I refer is the intangible "sense of community" that has
begun to develop in the minds of residents.
As you well know, this sense of community does not occur by itself. It
requires nurturing by those, such as yourself, who have elected to take an
active role in Plymouth. In the Bass Lake area, your efforts have provided
the catalyst necessary to unite residents into a sense of community. You
have been a staunch supporter of protecting the natural beauty and environ-
ment of Bass Lake, as well as the rights of residents living in this area.
Your activities with the Bass Lake Improvement Association have greatly
assisted the Council in being aware of the impact of our actions or
inactions on the northeast portion of Plymouth.
Your untiring community dedication does not stop here however. During the
formative years of the Plymouth Civic League, you provided the "spark"
necessary to make it possible for the fledgling League to grow, gain
credibility and the essential financial support required to sponsor major
community events. Through your efforts, "Music In Plymouth" and "Skiing In
Plymouth" have grown to be symbols of our residents' and businesses'
community involvement.
During your years with Northwestern Bell Telephone at the Regional Account-
ing Center, the City and Bell have maintained a close, cooperative working
relationship largely because of your efforts. While we will certainly miss
your friendly face at Northwestern Bell, we hope that you will continue to
provide the strong leadership in community affairs as you always have.
On behalf of the City Council and
for your many contributions to our
and happiness _JA yguf7 retirement.

Dear Mr. Hendricks:
=—(:D� �-
This letter shall serve as official notice to you that your towing contract
with the City of Plymouth is in jeopardy. You have broken the terms of said
contract by not paying the sums of money to the City for administrative and
clerical costs. In fact, you are three months in arrears and currently owe the
City $1,345.
You have ten (10) days in which to pay the aforementioned amount of money. In
the event that your account remains unpaid after that time limit we will
consider the contract to be breached. We shall then immediately terminate our
towing contract with you.
Hopefully, you will take care of this matter promptly. In the event that you
do pay your account in full within the allocated time limit of ten days and you
become delinquent again on any future billings, we will also consider this a
breach of contract. We will then terminate the contract and seek another
vendor for the City's towing contract. I request that you acknowledge receipt
of this letter in the appropriate designated place. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lyd Ricker
Director of Finance
