110use Happenings
Transportation Cuts Outfined. MnDOT officials described budget
reduction proposals for House Transportation Committees, culling the
$42 million in annual operating budget reductions and the $3.6 million
in Greater Minnesota Transit cuts. Members questioned whether
operational and maintenance cuts will create safety concerns or lead
to a further diminishing of road performance. MnDOT staff indicated
that road construction will not be affected and that safety will remain a
top priority. State officials did not "announce" any specific plans for
redirecting `cuts' to fund a highway bonding bill.
Show -and -Tell Bills Muttlply: House members have introduced
over 25 bills requesting either general obligation or trunk highway
bonds for various road and transit projects throughout the state. The
total cost of these specific requests to date is over $350 million, but
no debt service funding sources have been identified. MOVE area
legislators joined the parade by submitting funding requests for the
reconstruction of 1-494 (HF 494, sponsored by Reps. Thissen, Larson.
Lenczewski & Seagren), and Highway 100 (HF 574, sponsored by
Latz, Rhodes, Erhardt, Lenczweski & Seagren).
Senate Snippets
Bond Conversion Plan Still on Table: MnDOT staff indicated that
the Administration is still proposing to convert "unalloted general fund
cash" allocated in 2000 to trunk highway bonds for the next two-year
budget cycle. This will require additional ongoing debt service funds
in the amount of about $15 million per year.
Department Budget Reductions: MnDOT plans to reduce its base
operations by 15% (approximately $42 million) for the next biennium,
as well as transfer the remaining funds in the state airports account to
the general fund. The MnDOT base reduction occurs within a
constitutionally -dedicated account. It is expected to be redirected to
service the debt on trunk highway bonds that the Administration is
proposing.
Sonata Holds Forums—Mum on Budget Plan: The Senate is
holding committee meetings and town hall forums around the state to
discuss the implications of the Governors budget plan. The Senate
DFL caucus Indicates it will not release its budget plan until the series
of sessions are completed near the end of March.

Administration
Announcements
Revenue Projections Remain Stagnant:
The State Economist, Dr. Tom Stinson,
revealed the February budget forecast and
there are not any bright spots on the horizon.
Revenues declined slightly adding to both the
short-term and long-term budget problem.
Met Council Appofntments?????
One of the key pieces of the Administration's
cabinet is the naming of the Metropolitan
Council members who oversee everything
from transportation policy to wastewater to
land use policies. In an unusually -lengthy
process, the Metropolitan Council list of
appointees has been whittled down from 390
at Its zenith to a final list of about 45 or so
persons interested in serving under the
Pawlenty administration. So where are the
3ppointments7 Those in the know say that a
number of those interviewed and selected as
finalists have become an internal
embarrassment, as they know "little to
nothing" about the mission or policies of the
Met Council, yet are yearning to be
members. Stay tuned.
By The Numbers: Transportation
organizations rallied last week at the Capitol
for a day of lobbying and it was obvious that no
consensus existed as THREE different funding
proposals were outlined. It remains highly
unlikely that any funding plan other than a
bonding proposal might advance this year and
even that remains in question. The
transportation community has failed for over a
decade to put forth a comprehensive
transportation funding package that has the
support of the construction and engineering
industry, local governments, transit agencies
and business. This lack of consensus has
prevented the development of a successful
lobbying and advocacy plan by transportation
advocates as well as failed to motivate the
public to take action. The same day, about
125 transportation advocates met at the
Capitol, over one thousand arts supporters
filled the halls. The irony is that the amount of
funding provided to the arts is rather small and
NOT a major portion of their operating funds.
The transportation industry is nearly
completely dependent upon government
funding.

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447
DATE: March 3, 2003
TO: Nancy D. Bye, City Assessor
FROM: Jan Olsson, nior Appraiser
SUBJECT: 2003 PROPERTY TAX SUNS IARY
Hennepin County recently released the 2003 tax rates. Tax statements are scheduled to
be mailed starting the week of March 3Td. To better prepare ourselves to respond to
citizen inquiries, we have updated our charts, graphs, and comparison data (attached).
Market values on most residential properties were increased approximately 11% affecting
navable 2003 taxes (excluding quartile areas). Commercial/Industrial property values
remained basically the same. Apartment values increased approximately 10.2% in value.
The calculation of residential taxes continues to evolve from year to year. The first tier
of residential homestead from 76,000 to 500,000 is calculated at 1%. The rate on the
second tier is calculated at 1.25% The Residential Market Value Homestead Credit and
the Agricultural Market Value Homestead Credit were created to proportionally reduce
the net tax capacity — based property tax and replace the Education Homestead Credit.
The market value homestead credit reduces taxes on residential homesteads and on the
house, garage and one acre of land for farm homesteads. The maximum credit is $304 at
$76,000 of market value. It decreases after S76,000 and ends at a market value of
$413,800. The payable 2003 taxes per school district vary due to school bond
referendums passed this past year.
The following is an example of how to calculate 2003 payable taxes using an average
home v alue i n P lymouth o f S 284,000 i n e ach o f t he school districts. This calculation
does not involve the Agricultural Market Value Homestead Credit, nor any Limited
Market Value or This Old House tax reductions.
N
Our contribution share to the fiscal disparities pool for Commercial/Industrial properties
increased from 35.5161% last year to 38.0156% this year.

(6.A) Letter from Don Renquist
Commissioner Renquist spoke about his concerns from the previous month's meeting and
presented a letter to the HRC members. He felt that the issue regarding Santa at a fire
department event should have been tabled for consideration and a committee appointed to
evaluate the subject. Commissioner Renquist would like to reopen the issue.
Commissioner Ruffin stated that she also had concerns regarding this issue and felt that the
commission should have taken more time to discuss it.
It was stated that the Santa at the Fire Station Event had been discussed at the December
meeting; but there was not a quorum present. A discussion took place on Roberts Rules of Order
and the January meeting was the first time it was on the agenda.
Councilmember Hewitt stated that in the future, if there is no quorum the meeting will be
canceled and the group will be dispersed, no discussion would take place. It was stated the
members should call if they will be unable to attend a meeting. '
Commissioner Alexander stated that the Human Rights Commission had been asked by the City
Manager and Fire Chief for a recommendation on this issue and the commission made a motion
and voted at the last meeting. She believes the commission completed the work it was asked to
do by issuing a recommendation.
An extensive discussion by the commission and guest, David Magy, took place on their views of
having the issue reopened or if the motion that was made by the commission has finalized it.
Commissioner Browne -Boatswain felt that a few members had a personal, emotional impact on
the issue and asked how incidents that are brought forth should be handled going forward. She
stated that there should be some balance and asked if an outside source may be appropriate.
Commissioner Chhabra suggested that an issue should be postponed if not all of the members are
satisfied that it has been fully discussed.
Commissioner Clark spoke about options for working as a group and should the format of a
decision be consensus or majority. Motion was made by Councilmember Clark and seconded by
Commissioner Garfin that the commission works for consensus before a vote. The definition of
consensus is when everyone in the group can say, "I can live with this decision"; which is after
discussion. The group agrees that everyone can state their opinions and can say that they do not
feel heard. If not all members agree, the group works on it until consensus is achieved.
The commission discussed if this process would be productive and should the decision be made
as consensus or majority vote. The commission agreed that a process has never been discussed
for a voting procedure. Group norm, attendance and how to make decisions should also be
discussed.

Subject: My apologies
Dear Kurt,
I am sorry to tell you that I will have to be resigning my role as Youth
Advisory member. This is a decision reached by both my parents and I, as at
this point in time there are other matters I have to attend to, due to some
recent events.
This upsets me, especially when we are getting to the part when the work
done for the events finally starts to pay off. I am also sorry that I wasn't
able to reach this decision earlier. However, it has gotten to the point
where I am being stretched extremely thin for time. I wish the best for the
council, and I may still work on the committees as a regular community
member.
It has been a memorable experience... thank you all for giving me the
opportunity to work with you.
Sincerely,
Kee ju Hong

Dear Resident/Land Owner:
The City has recently received an application from GEM Enterprises, under File No. 2003015,
for a rezoning from C-2 (Neighborhood Commercial) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) and a
PUD general plan for the existing Plymouth Shopping Center. The rezoning would allow the
property owner to lease the existing building for commercial uses not currently permitted in the
C-2 zoning district. No new buildings are proposed as part of this application. A map indicating
the location of the area is provided below.
This letter is being mailed to all landowners within 750 feet of the site in order to provide notice
and information about the application — in advance of the official notice that will be sent out
prior to the Planning Commission's public hearing on the matter. The City will send out another
letter notifying you of the Planning Commission public hearing date, not less than ten days prior
to the hearing date. The purpose of the public hearing is to allow neighboring property owners to
appear in front of the Planning Commission to ask questions and make comments relating to the
application. You may also submit comments in writing. All written comments will become part
of the public record.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this application or the review procedures,
please call Marie Darling, Senior Planner, at (763) 509-5457.
In addition, you may review information relating to this application at City Hall during regular
office hours. Office hours at City Hall are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays
through Fridays, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, except holidays. Plymouth City Hall is

Office of Administrative Hearings
100 Washington Square, Suite 1700
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401-2138
RE: Proposed Amendment to Rules Governing Building Official Certification,
Minnesota Rules, chapter 1301.1201
Dear Judge Klein:
Thank you for considering the concerns we raised at the administrative hearing. You asked that
we provide some additional information about the potential for conflict between the penalties
provided in the proposed rules and a collective bargaining agreement between a municipality and
a certified building official.
The rule as proposed requires the Board to impose discipline on the certified building official
found to have violated the rules. The penalties at the second level contemplate discipline that
may require uncompensated service, training at his/her own cost, and/or limitation on scope of
duties or on the duties he/she may perform. -The penalties at the third level include permanent
restrictions or limitations and suspension, revocations or denial of certification.
For those cities with a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that includes certified building
inspectors subordinate to the designated building official, the rules may conflict with the
requirements of the CBA.
As an example, a requirement to perform uncompensated service or to attend and pay for
additional or remedial training would be very likely to conflict with the agreement to pay an
hourly rate for hours worked. This requirement would also violate the Fair Labor Standards Act.
This is in contrast to making such a requirement of a designated building official who is unlikely
to be in a union and who is exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Another example, if the Board suspended an employee's certification and the municipality
required that the unionized employee have the certification in order to work, the municipality
would be forced to suspend the employee as well. The employee would have the right to a
grievance process that ends in binding arbitration. If the employee prevails before the arbitrator,
the municipality would have to pay the employee back pay.

www.d.plymouth.mmus
Even if the municipality prevailed in an adjudicative process, the time and expense would be
borne by the municipality.
Every municipality in the above situation would have to assess the value of the certification for
employees for whom it is now required. The option of not requiring the certification would have
to be seriously considered. This is surely not the result expected or desired by the original
legislation.
One approach would be to require a complainant to exhaust the complaint process with the
municipality that employs the certified building official before the committee would take up the
matter. This would provide notice to the municipality as well as opportunity to take care of the
matter. This approach is similar to the approach used by the POST Board for licensed peace
officers. Most complaints are referred to the community where the officer is employed.
The POST approach to discipline of an officer is also worth considering in this case. When the
POST Board makes a determination to suspend or withdraw licensure, the local unit of
government is notified and then metes out its discipline based on the Board's investigation. The
result in most cases is termination because the license is required to act as an officer.
Another matter not addressed in our other written comments is the issue of the time during which
a ,complaint can be made. We suggest that it should be limited to one year from the time of the
alleged violation. Both this and the requirement to exhaust the local complaint process would
safeguard a certified building official from harassment. It would also provide access to the
public at the least cost and with the greatest opportunity for resolution.
We would also like to point out that the statement by the agency in the SONAR that there is no
cost associated with these rules cannot be correct. No investigation which is thorough and fair is
inexpensive.
Again, we want to thank you for your consideration of both our letters and our testimony at the
hearing.

St. Paul, MN 55155-1899
SUBJECT: SPEED ZONING STUDY — HENNEPIN COUNTY
CSAH 101 BETWEEN CSAH 24 AND TRUNK HIGHWAY 55
Dear Mr. Brannan:
The Metropolitan Division of MNDOT has recently completed a Speed Zoning Study for CSAH 101
between CSAH 24 and TH 55 as requested in a December 10, 2002 letter to Ed Brown from James
Grube, Director of Hennepin County Transportation Department. Their recommendations have been
forwarded to your office for review and final speed limit determination.
I provided the Plymouth City Council a copy of the recommendation for speed limits on CSAH 101
based on the Speed Zoning Study. As you are aware, these recommendations include a section of 50
m.p.h. roadway between two segments recommended for 45 m.p.h. At their February 25, 2003
meeting the City Council unanimously passed a motion directing me to write a letter requesting that
the approved speed limit for this entire length of CSAH 101 be designated at 45 m.p.h.
They expressed concern with both the 50 m.p.h. segment as well as the potential confusion to the
driver with changing from one limit to another and then back in a relatively short distance.
Enforcement would also be more difficult.
The landscaping for the CSAH 101 project has yet to be completed and will include trees and shrubs
both on the outside limits of the roadway as well as within the median areas. In addition, new city
trails have been constructed on both sides of the roadway to accommodate the large residential areas
on both sides of CSAH 101. These amenities may have a narrowing effect on the roadway over time
and along with the adjacent pedestrian activity hopefully cause a reduction in speeds.
As indicated above, the City Council would like to see a consistent 45 m.p.h. speed limit on the entire
segment of CSAH 101. If this is possible, the City would prefer the Metropolitan Division's
recommendation rather than signing the entire segment at 50 m.p.h.
Your consideration of this request would be appreciated and if you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 763-509-5520.
Sincerely,
Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E.
