The Where's Lester Scavenger Hunt Comes to End;
Searcher Finds Lester in Zachary Park
The Where's Lester scavenger hunt came to an end on March 11 when Plymouth Fire Department staff member
Heidi Sanderson received a phone call from Jon Parisian of Plymouth. Parisian called Sanderson to report that he was the
successful searcher who found Lester the Smoke Detector's hiding place at Zachary Park, 42nd and Zachary Ln.
Lester was hidden under a deck near the children's playground at the park. Parisian will net $500 in prize money.
The prize money was donated by the Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund, Plymouth Firefighters Relief Association,
Anchor Bank, US Bank, TCF and Wells Fargo. The Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund is a non-profit organization
that raises funds to support public safety programs in Plymouth.
The Where's Lester campaign is aimed at raising awareness about the importance of smoke detector and carbon
monoxide detector maintenance during the heating season. "The Where's Lester campaign is a good, fun reminder for people
of all ages to talk about fire safety at their homes and take measures to protect their families," said Fire Chief Richard Kline.
Kline emphasized the importance of periodically checking the batteries in smoke detectors and cleaning detectors by
vacuuming them. He also stressed the fact that people should not disconnect their smoke detector or ignore the warning
sounds of their carbon monoxide detector. "For a small investment in time, families can ensure that their detectors will give
them warning in case of fire or high carbon monoxide levels. They are important, life-saving tools. Lester helps us send that
message," said Fire Chief Rick Kline.
The campaign began in December with the announcement that Lester the Smoke Detector was in hiding. During
December, individuals and teams registered for the contest. Weekly clues were issued beginning in January.

Plymouth City Council to Hold March 25 Public Hearing on
Aquatic Vegetative Management Plan for Medicine Lake
The Plymouth City Council will hear public comment on a proposed plan to manage aquatic
plants in Medicine Lake at a public hearing on Tues., March 25, 7 p.m., at Plymouth City Hall, 3400
Plymouth Blvd. If adopted, the plan ultimately could affect the health, water quality and recreational
uses of the lake, which is Hennepin County's second largest lake. The meeting will be televised live in
Plymouth on cable television channel 16.
The aquatic vegetative management plan provides a framework to manage plants in Medicine
Lake. According to City Engineer Ron Quanbeck, the proposed plan seeks to:
• Protect the lake's health and water quality; and
• Manage and minimize the impact of excessive plant growth on the lake's recreational uses.
The plan proposes to accomplish those goals by establishing three types of management areas
for the lake:
• Protection Areas: These are areas deemed to have a significant number of desirable native
aquatic plants. The plan calls for these areas to be protected from external impacts and
undesirable plants. The protection areas will require restoration and management techniques
such as removing weeds, controlling rough fish and limiting wave action from boating by
designating "Slow — No Wake" areas.
• Shoreline Restoration Areas: These are areas identified as having potential for shoreline
restoration projects. The proposed plan also includes criteria for future restoration sites.
1-3
• Control Areas: These are areas with excessive growth of undesirable aquatic plant growth that
has significantly diminished one or more of the lake's recreational uses. Under the plan, these
areas would be managed primarily through plant harvesting and chemical treatment.
A broad-based group worked together to develop the plan over the past year. The group
included representatives of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Three Rivers Park
District, City of Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department, City of Medicine Lake, City of Plymouth
Engineering Division, Bassett Creek Water Management Commission, Association of Medicine Lake
Area Citizens and the City of Plymouth's Environmental Quality Committee (EQC). The EQC is a
citizen advisory group to the Plymouth City Council.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
AQUATIC VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
MEDICINE LAKE
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Plymouth, Minnesota will
meet in the City Council Chambers, Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, at
7:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 25, 2003 to consider an Aquatic Vegetation Management
(AVM) Plan for Medicine Lake. The plan was developed to provide a framework to
manage the aquatic vegetation. It has been shown that a healthy plant community
contributes to improving water quality.
The AVM Plan was developed by representatives from Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (MnDNR), The Three Rivers Park District, Plymouth Parks Department, City
of Medicine Lake, Plymouth Engineering Division, Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission, Association of Medicine Lake Area Citizens (AMLAC), and
Plymouth Environmental Quality Committee (EQC). The goals of the AVM Plan are to:
1. protect the lake's health and water quality, and
2. manage and minimize the impact of excessive plant growth on lake's recreational
use.
An Aquatic Vegetation Management group would be appointed by the City Council to
oversee the implementation of the AVM Plan.
The AVM Plan has identified three types of management areas for Medicine Lake:
Protection, Shoreline Restoration, and Control Areas. The Protection Areas are
defined as those areas that are deemed to have a significant population of desirable
native aquatic plants. These areas are to be protected from external impacts and
undesirable plants. These Protection Areas will require restoration and management
techniques such as removing weeds, controlling rough fish and limiting wave action
from boating by designating "Slow No Wake" areas.
Shoreline Restoration Areas were identified as areas with potential for shoreline
restoration projects. The AVM Plan has established a detailed set of criteria for potential
future restoration sites.
Areas with excessive undesirable aquatic plant growth that has significantly diminished
one or more of the lake's recreational uses have been identified as Control Areas. These
areas will be managed primarily through plant harvesting and chemical treatment. The
purpose of controlling these areas is to provide recreational use and promote the lake's
health. Five major guidelines have been established to manage these Control Areas.
1�
1. The first guideline is to provide benefit to the general public. (Any area closer to
the shore than 150 feet is considered under the riparian right of the property
owner.)
2. The second guideline is to establish an on-going program to monitor the existing
as well as any new undesirable plants.
3. The third guideline is to control undesirable target plants such as curly leaf
pondweed, Eurasian water milfoil and purple loosestrife lake -wide wherever
possible,
4. The forth guideline is to monitor any control measure, including harvesting, to
determine if there are actual environmental changes.
5. The last guideline is to annually, survey the lake to identify all problem areas and
recommend an appropriate treatment such as harvesting, biological treatment,
chemical treatment or other feasible control methods for these areas.
The MnDNR limits the area of the littoral zone of Medicine Lake that can be affected by
vegetation removal. Therefore, priority for permits will be given to the implementation
of the AVM Plan. This could impact the ability of property owners to acquire permits for
their sections of the shoreline. After approval of the AVM Plan the MnDNR would
require City approval before issuing permits for removal of vegetation both mechanically
and chemically to ensure consistency with the Plan.
If you have any questions regarding the AVM Plan, please contact Shane Missaghi at
763-509-5527

T
Cuts Take $hope: The most specific details of MnDOT's budget reductions were
revealed antl the most visible impact will be the closure of 'about 40 rest stops
around Minnesota. Standard maintenance items like replacing freeway lights, snow
and ice reoval and roadway striping will be reduced as well. For example,
snowplowing in the Metro area will not runaround the clock and the Highway Helper
program wilt, be restricted to heavier traffic routes and times: Legislators raised
numerous qo estions regarding safety, traffic flow and asked if Cuts will defer actual
road maintenance duties such as filling potholes, overlaying blacktop or performing
minor road repairs. Officials from MnDOT indicated that those functions should not
be greatly irr};pacted due to budget cuts.
Airport Funds Need to General Fund: Airport officials from around Minnesota
testified to tt a need to continue to fund improvements of airports around the state.
The Admini4ration plans to transfer $15 million raised by fees generated by airport
users back I the General Fund to balance the state budget. Supporters indicated
that this mo would jeopardize their ability to expand existing facilities and meet the
growing demand of general aviation and commercial interests around the state.
Senate S�rttppets
Metro Tron#t P1en3 Discussed: Metro area transit users will see higher fares and
less service,hwhile roadway users will see more cars on the road. Metro Transit and
Met Council Ptaff members outlined a variety of options available to them to meet an
expected lq% cut in funding. These reductions come on: top of two recent
reductions, *hich, as indicated by Senate staff persons, puts the systems' funding at
1996-99 lev4ls. Legislators once again questioned this approach, indicating that the
most cost -e , ctive and immediate response to congestion would be to increase bus
service in heovily-traveled corridors.
A
Slower Pada: The Senate Transportation committees are taking their time in
reviewing Administration proposals and advancing transportation plans to coincide
with Town HpII meetings: forums and formal committee meetings to be held around
the state. They also appear to be reversing a decade-long trend of putting forth
funding plan and proposals which have never 'gone anywhere' in the House. It
seems that the 'wait and see' approach is designed to let the impacts of the budget
cuts set in wkh the general public.
MOVE i� Washington
As we go td press, MOVE representatives are in Washington, D.C. meeting with
C:ongressionl leaders, MOVE has submitted a request for funding to improve and
redesign the I-!!941169 interchange (remove stoplights and improve traffic flows) to
Congressm* Jim Ramstead, and has also submitted a request for funds to
reconstruct the interchange at 1-494 and 1-35W to Congressman Martin Sabo. Both
funding regiests come as Congress looks to 'reauthorize' its TEA -7.1 federal
transportatiop bill for the next six years (2004-2010). This reauthorization provides
the beat ch4nce on the federal level to earmark funds to specific transportation
oroiects in Milnnesote.

Cash -to -Bond Plan Advances: MnDOT
officials again reiterated; that they intend to
convert approximately E $110 million of
General Fund appropriations into trunk
highway bonds. This conversion will help
with the state's budggt problem but will
require an additional $8410 million per year
to pay for the bonds. s Those funds must
come from MnDOT's "trust fund' as required
by the State's Constitutidk

insiders are surmising that the
Administration's failure lo announce its big
transportation bonding 1plans indicates that
the proposal is in trouble and that any
package will be far smaller than the projected
$1 billion spoken about during the
gubernatorial campaign. As mentioned
previously, the budget lrisis will continue to
siphon off any 'non -dedicated' funds to
balance the state's General Fund. Since
only 'highway trust fund$' can be used to pay
for highway bonds.' it will become
increasingly difficult to Oqueeze more money
out of the MnDOT budget to pay fora large
plan. It was estimated fiat the $42 million in
annual savings pfoposed by the
Ccmmissioner could pixy for about $400-
$500 million in bonds,;; but some of those
dollars will not be need* to pay for the 'cash

Congestion Is Hurting M/nnesota's
Mainstrevt. Ross Thorfinnson, Jr., Executive
Director of MOVE; provided House
Transportation Policy members with a
compelling case for improvements to the 1-494
and 1-35W corridors. Thorfinnson's discussion
of the impacts of congestion, the proposed I-
494 reconstruction timeframe, the efforts of
local govemments to develop traffic
management programs and plans to reduce
congestion and the need for regional transit
system improvements' in these corridors
generated a great deal of comments from
committee members. :David Lindahl, a staff
person from the City of Eden Prairie,
presented the committee with a compilation of
comments from area businesses regarding
congestion, support for transportation system
improvements and the need to take action
soon. It can easily; be stated that this
presentation created one of the most
thoughtful and collaborative debates about
transportation funding found in any committee
this session. The Thorfinnson presentation,
however, is a long way from creating a real
action agenda that will adequately fund
transportation improvements, but it does set
the stage for an ongoing dialogue with MOVE
area legislators.
Capital Chatter
D Senator Larry Pogemiller, Chair of the
Senate Tax Committee, has been
overhead saying "there will be no tax
increase coming from the Senate this
year'. Earlier :in the session, House
Transportation Chair Bill Kuisle stated
that "there is no way that you will see
tax increases for transportation at the
same time every other state function Is
being cut'. These comments seem to
indicate that transportation funding will
have to wait for another day.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to request fee reductions, additional competition in the residential solid waste 'service' for
Plymouth, Minnesota and changes to the solid waste taxation scheme for Minnesota and Hennepin
County. I am a homeowner resident residing in Plymouth, MN without a municipality contract
As reported in Waste Managements 10-K filing of Dec. 31, 2002 to the SEC, North American Solid
Waste revenues decreased in 2002 compared to 2001. The negative growth was substantially volume
related.
With Waste Management having a decreasing revenue stream but increasing Earnings per Share
since 2000, it clearly is costing Waste Management less to conduct their business. If total price as
shown in the table below is up 0.6% over two years time, then why is pricing to me as a residential
customer up 9% over year ago, up 24% since they moved in and cornered the business in 1999 and
up 91 % over the service I had prior to their acquisition of that company?
Is Waste Management gouging the residential consumer for revenue gains as an offset to other
commercial accounts that they are not able to price up ... or, in fact, have reduced? If so, the
Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Fee of 9.0% and the Solid Waste Management Tax
of 9.75% should not be revenue based, but rather tonnage based. By the way, I also believe I am
disenfranchised as I can not structure pickup schedules to biweekly or monthly, or enter a one
week "vacation stop". I am getting charged, taxed and feed even if I have no container to put out
on curbside service!
As revenue based, the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Fee and the Solid Waste
Management Tax have increased to me as a residential customer 91 % in less than 5 years time.
The period to period change in NASW revenues is reflected in the table below (dollars in
millions).
Period to Period Period to Period
Changefor Change for
2002 and 2001 2001 and 2000
Price:
Base business $ 72 0.6% $ 162 1.4%
Commodity $ 69 0.6% $ (161) (1.4)%
Fuel $ (25) (0.2)% $ 1 %
Total price $ 82 0.7% $ (8) (0.1)%
As reported in the 10-K, Waste Managements operating costs and expenses increased 1.2% in
2002 as compared to 2001, and decreased 11.6% in 2001 as compared to 2000. As a
percentage of operating revenues, operating costs and expenses decreased from 60.4% in 2000
to 58.9% in 2001 and increased to 60.5% in 2002.
Please;
✓ invite competition to come to Plymouth, (check pricing against peer communities)
✓ consider a municipal contract for Plymouth, (check pricing against peer communities)
✓ change the fee structure away from revenue based to tonnage based, and
✓ investigate Waste Management for fee spreads between municipal contract pricing and
individual residential pricing
Sincerely,
R er S. Clyne

Pricing Tools and Tactics
• Software to analyze and array commercial customers by
profitability introduced in August 2001
• Improved profitability analysis software developed and
rolled out in 2002
— For example, analyze route profitability
— Compare internalized versus third party disposal
• Identify all customers who have not received a price

Dear Stakeholder:
The Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) adopted their Strategic Plan for
2003-2004 on February 20, 2003. We would like to thank you for your assistance and comments
regarding this plan. Attached you will find the adopted Strategic Plan along with a matrix with
the comments received and the HRA's response.
It had been three years since the last Strategic Plan was adopted and many things have changed
since then. Most notably is the economic conditions surrounding government entities from the
state on down to local jurisdictions. The budget short fall has affected all areas of local
government including housing programs which help low and moderate households with their
housing needs. This coupled with the rising costs of housing from construction to rents has
made the task of assisting low/moderate households that much more difficult.
However, given these constraints the Plymouth HRA believes this Strategic Plan will assist our
community in its housing needs and is a stepping stone to eliminating a shortage of safe, decent
affordable housing in our community as well as the region.
Again, thank you for your participation. We look forward to working with you on the Action
Plan. Should you have any questions regarding the Strategic Plan or housing issues in general,
Please feel free to contact me at (763) 509-5412 or by e-mail at jbarnes ci.plymouth.mn.us
Sincerely,
Jim Barnes
Housing Programs Manager

SUBJECT: GENERAL STORMWATER PERMIT APPLICATION FOR INDUSTRIAL
ACTIVITY
Dear Madam or Sir:
The City of Plymouth has researched the need for obtaining coverage under a General Storm
Water Permit for Industrial Activity (MN G610000). The City has determined that the primary
activities conducted at our municipal facilities do not appear to require an industrial permit and
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code assigned for general municipal operations is
SIC Code No. 9199. However, it seems that none of our activities or SIC codes that are listed
are those that require a General Storm Water Permit for Industrial Activity. Nonetheless, SIC
codes for individual operations that were identified during our review, such as for police and fire
operations, are noted below:
City Center - The City Center is located at 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. All general municipal
operations and administrative functions are operated out of the City Center. In addition, the
police department (SIC Code 9221) operates out of the City Center.
Municipal, Park & Street Maintenance Service Facility and Fleet Maintenance Building,
including vehicle maintenance equipment and personnel, for these operations are located at
14900 - 23`d Avenue North. The City's current seasonal road salt storage facilities are
located here. Operations provided at this facility, including the approximate percentage of
the overall operations at this site, include:
• Police and fire protection vehicles and equipment maintenance — 50% (SIC Code 9221 /
9224).
• Heavy equipment, street sweeping, park maintenance vehicles, and snow removal - 25%
(SIC Codes 1611, 4959 and 0782).
• Administrative vehicles for general administration, building inspections, assessing, and
engineering department — 15%. (SIC Code 7539)
13 Small engine repair, such as for lawn maintenance equipment and snow blowers — 10`3

F. No Exposure Certification
I certify under penalty of law that I have read and understand the eligibility requirements for claiming a condition of "no
exposure " and obtaining an exclusion from NPDES stone water permitting. I certify under penalty of law that there are no
discharges of storm water contaminated by exposure to industrial activities or materials from the industrial facility or site
identified in this document (except as allowed under 40 CFR 122.26(gx2)).
I understand that I am obligated to submit a no exposure certification form once every five years to the MPCA and, if requested,
to the operator of the local municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) into which the facility discharges (where applicable). I
understand that I must allow the MPCA, or MS4 operator where the discharge is into the local MS4, to perform inspections to
confirm the condition of no exposure and to make such inspection reports publicly available upon request. I understand that I
must obtain coverage under an NPDES permit prior to any point source discharge of storm water from the facility.
Additionally, I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or
supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the
information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly
responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is to the best of my knowledge and belief true, accurate and
