The Senate passed the transportation funding bill last night along with the Health and Human Services bill, the tax bill and the bonding bill. The deal gives the Governor most of what he wanted: an increase in the use of trunk highway bonds to leverage advance federal construction funds. Leadership agreed to a plan that authorizes MnDOT to sell $400 million in trunk highway bonds over the next four years and to leverage an equal amount in advance federal construction dollars. The Governor had requested $550 million in trunk highway bonds over 5 years and an equal amount in advance federal construction dollars. In exchange, additional funding was provided to reduce the significant transit cuts, reducing the proposed cut to Metro Transit from $18.8 million to $5.4 million and the cut for Greater Minnesota transit from $3.6 million to around $1 million. Metropolitan area transit did, however, lose the additional 2% of MVST scheduled to be transferred next biennium. The Senate also held out for local road funding, obtaining $20 million for a new revolving loan account to fund the Local Road Improvement Program, funding that is contained in the bonding bill. The prominence of transportation this year was a somewhat surprising and encouraging turn of events. The fact that transportation issues held up the conclusion of the session along with the usual suspects: taxes, health and human services was remarkable. In many past years, the transportation bill, dominated by dedicated fees, was one of the first budget bills to pass as it was usually non -controversial. What changed? Transportation advocates worked hard over the last few years to raise the profile of transportation and convince legislators that the public is tired of congestion and safety problems on our highways. Because of that effort, candidates, including the Governor, campaigned for office promising to invest more money in highways. And because of that campaign promise, the Governor proposed a transportation financing plan that was separate from the regular state budget and promoted that plan. This made transportation a target, for better or worse, and set up the battle between Senate Democrats and House Republicans and the Governor. As we've said before, governors play a key role and their position on transportation makes a huge difference. Here are some highlights of House File 5: ➢ $400 million authorized in trunk highway bonds. Any funds not encumbered or obligated by June 30, 2007 must cancel to the trunk highway bond account. Funds are to be used for trunk highway improvements in the seven - county metropolitan area primarily for bottlenecks and interregional corridors and outside the metropolitan area for interregional corridors. Within each area, $25 million is to be spent on highway safety and capacity improvement projects on corridors with known safety problems. To the maximum extent feasible, the commissioner shall seek to allocate spending equally between the metro district and the remainder of the state. ➢ Of the trunk highway bonds, at least $36 million is for transit capital improvements such as park-and-ride lots. ➢ Through June 30, 2009, the commissioner may spend up to $4.4 million in advance federal construction funds. To the extent feasible, the commissioner shall seek to allocate spending equally between the metropolitan district and the remainder of the state. Of this advance federal funding, the commissioner may spend up to $5 million through June 30, 2008 on capital assistance for Greater Minnesota transit systems. ➢ $110 million in cash remaining from the 2000 appropriation is converted to trunk highway bonds. $15 million is transferred from the State Airports Fund to the general fund. ➢ MVST dedication for Greater Minnesota transit is increased from 1.25% to 1.43% for the FY'04-'05 and FY06- 07 biennia. One-time funding of $288,000 per year or $576,000 for the biennium is provided for Greater Minnesota transit. ➢ MVST dedication for Metropolitan Area Transit is increased from 20.5% to 21.5% for the FY'04205 and '06-'07 biennia. One-time funding of $557,000 per year or $1.1 million for biennium is provided. ➢ Operating expenses for the Hiawatha LRT line will be split 50/50 between the state and Hennepin County, an increase of $1.4 million. This is an improvement over the original proposal by the Governor to have the cost split 40/60 between the state and local governments. ➢ The 2% of MVST scheduled to be transferred to Metropolitan Transit in 2004 was deleted. ➢ The Department of Transportation is authorized to establish HOT lanes on existing HOV lanes (394 and 35W). Single -occupancy vehicles would be allowed to use the HOV lanes if they pay a toll that would be collected electronically. Revenue from the toll would be split 50/50 for capital improvements within the corridor and expansion and improvement of bus transit services in the corridor. �3 ➢ MnDOT is required to conduct a study on the feasibility of implementing a bus rapid transit system in I -35W corridor from downtown Minneapolis to Lakeville. ➢ Repeals the statutory description of northern zones in which a 10 percent winter gross weight increase is allowed for trucks and combinations and replaces them with zones set by MnDOT. ➢ Allows gross vehicle weights of up to 88,000 pounds on 9 -ton county highways during the time when winter weight increases are in effect in a particular zone, consistent with increases allowed on 10 -ton roads. ➢ Allows bars to seek a permit to extend the hour of consumption from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. with revenue from permits used to pay for additional troopers. ➢ Requires MnDOT to study feasibility of milled -in rumble strips on centerline trunk and county state -aid highways. Is the bill good, bad or somewhere in between? You be the judge With the passage of the transportation funding bill we can expect the Governor and House Republicans to immediately take credit for the "largest increase in transportation funding in the history of the state." We've already seen newsletters from Republican legislators characterizing the Governor's bonding plan as "a major overhaul of the transportation system." Meanwhile, Democrats will lament the short-sightedness of passing a bill that borrows money from the future and cuts transit budgets. Democrats in the House called the bill a "giant step to nowhere" and noted that it reminded them of the final scene in the movie "Thelma and Louise" in which the lead characters drove off a cliff rather than be responsible and face a difficult situation. While we continue to push for a comprehensive funding bill that begins to address the serious problems we face with ongoing, dedicated funds, the big question this year involved the wisdom of accepting incremental progress or holding out for a bill that meets the needs of all modes into the future. On the one hand, we certainly wanted to make progress this year and ensure that highway funding didn't take a nosedive with the last of the 2000 money being spent. On the other hand, we know that a multi-year infusion of funds for roads takes the pressure off to provide new revenue for transportation. When the one-time funding was provided in 2000 with a deadline of 2003 for the money to be spent, legislators were continually asking us, in subsequent years, why they should provide more money for highways when MnDOT hadn't yet spent the money they received in 2000. We may hear the same type of response in the next four or five years with the increase in trunk highway bond proceeds. The Case for Dedicated Funds The increased use of trunk highway bonds and advance federal construction dollars will certainly accelerate some needed highway projects and save money in terms of escalating right-of-way and construction costs. But the issue that is not being addressed is the need for the Department to plan and get projects in the pipeline. One-time funding does not allow the Department to get additional projects ready and so when another short-term infusion of funds comes along, there are few projects ready to go. The ensuing delay in actually building projects makes legislators and the public think that there isn't really such a huge need — after all, MnDOT can't seem to spend the money. So even though we all know the state needs $10 billion just to maintain mobility, unless we get increases in ongoing, dedicated revenues, we'll continue to hear people wonder, "How much money can MnDOT spend?" And of course, dedicated funds provide the resources all county and municipal systems need, particularly with the significant cuts in local government aid. Bonding Bill Includes Some Transportation Projects After days of delay and negotiations, the House and Senate finally passed a capital improvements bonding bill. Most of the bill is comprised of projects vetoed by Governor Ventura last year. House Republicans and the Governor agreed to a bonding bill of around $230 million as part of the global agreement. Transportation expenditures include: • $2.7 million for Wetland Replacement due to public road projects • $20 million for the Local Road Improvement Program. This appropriation is only available for loans. Debt service on the bonds is to be paid out the account, creating a revolving loan fund. • $2 million for Port Development Assistance. • $3.5 million for Freight Access Improvements. The money would be used as a grant to the port authority of Winona for intermodal improvements to the Winona harbor. • $1 million for Greater Minnesota transit facilities. • $1 million for design of the Northwest Busway. • $4 million for the Phalen Boulevard between I -35E and Johnson Parkway. • $1.4 million for the rehabilitation of roads or bridges destroyed by flooding in Roseau.

The first will be held on THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 2003 from 7:45 -10:00 a.m, and the second will be held on FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 2003 also from 7:45 -10:00 a.m. Both meetings will be held at House of Hope Lutheran Church, 4800 Boone Avenue North in New Hope. We specifically want you or a designee to participate, because we want all sectors --public, private, nonprofit and families --to engage in discussion and action to -build school-community partnerships and the help identify and address gaps in services for our community. At the end of our two mornings together, we will have created the following: Identification of community resources for children and families Identification of gaps in resources for children and families Identification of strategies to address gaps in services The agenda for the first meeting includes reviewing a draft report and identifying gaps in services and strategies to fill these gaps. The agenda for the second meting includes receiving a final report and planning action steps to build school-community partnerships and fill gaps in services. Community Mapping meetings have or are being held throughout Hennepin County. All community data will be compiled for local community snapshots and then a countywide picture. Given the budget cuts for schools, nonprofits and county services, it is important to have a clearer understanding of what services exist within each local community and how they can be better aligned to meet the needs of children and families. Knowing this and building better partnerships to access existing services will enhance the ability of children to learn and schools to perform their necessary teaching functions. Each community will be in a better position to advocate for gaps in services needed by children and their families in the Robbinsdale Area Schools Community.

We appreciate your timely notification so this site can be handled in an efficient manner. Legal Obligations Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release, investigate the release and, if necessary, clean up the release. A person is considered legally responsible for a tank release if the person owned or operated the tank either during or after the release, unless specifically exempted under the law. If you believe that you are not legally responsible for this storage tank release, please contact the project manager listed below. If you are not legally responsible for the release, but hold legal or equitable title to the property where the release occurred, you may volunteer to take corrective action. Responsible persons and volunteers who take corrective action may be eligible for reimbursement for a major portion of the costs of corrective action. The legislature has established the Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Account to reimburse responsible persons and volunteers. The account is administered by the Petro Board which is part of the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Final decisions regarding the amount of reimbursement are made by the Petro Board. All questions about eligibility and reimbursement should be directed to the Petrofund staff at (651) 297-1119 or (651) 297-4203 or 1 (800) 638-0418. Request to Take Corrective Action The MPCA staff requests that you take steps to investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed MPCA fact sheets. The site investigation must fully define the extent and magnitude of the soil and/or ground water contamination caused by the release. A report (Excavation Report and/or Remedial Investigation/Corrective Action Design (RI/CAD)) which details the results of the investigation or concludes that excavation was sufficient to clean up the release must be submitted to this office within 10 months of the date of this letter. Please refer to MPCA fact sheets for information pertaining to the amount of work needed at the petroleum release site(s). 520 Lafayette Rd.

If one or more of these situations apply to your site, an RI/CAD report must be submitted within 90 days. In addition, if you know or discover that there is free -product from a well, excavation, or borehole, you must notify the MPCA within 24 hours and IMMEDIATELY begin interim free product recovery. If you have not already done so, the MPCA recommends that you hire a qualified consulting firm registered with the Petrofund staff that has experience in conducting petroleum release site investigations and in proposing and implementing appropriate corrective actions. A list of registered contractors and consultants is available from the Petrofund staff. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. Please note that, under Minn. R. 2890.0075, subp. 2, you must solicit a minimum of two competitive proposals on a form prescribed by the Petro Board to ensure that the consulting costs are reasonable. Questions about bidding requirements should be directed to Petrofund staff. Required Response MPCA staff requests a response to this letter within 30 days.

The Plymouth parks department is also very concerned about water conservation. Currently, all thirteen of our irrigation systems have automatic rain gauge tum -off systems. Unfortunately, rain gauges appear to be one of the more frequently vandalized items that we have in the park system. At Parkers Lake, the rain gauge is on the roof line of the shelter building. However, it apparently is still susceptible to children with baseball bats and other objects. On the day that you saw it, the rain gauge had been completely knocked off and broken. Regarding the other issues you raised, this spring was very wet, and we were not activating our sprinkler systems as early as we have in past years. The way we go about start up is by activating all thirteen systems to get them up and running. We note all of the sprinkler heads that are either broken, or are malfunctioning, and we then come back and go through the total system and make all the necessary repairs. As you can imagine, with many water systems that are 20 years old, repair and maintenance is an ongoing issue that we deal with daily. I appreciate your time in writing to us about this important issue. Sincerely, Eric Blank, Director Parks and Recreation EB/np cc: Superintendent of Parks PLYMOUTH A Beautifuf Pface to Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509-5000 ^•°a^� www.d.plymouth.mn.us C� May 20, 2003 Judy Johnson Mayor, City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor Johnson, My name is Brian Horgan and I'm a resident of Green Tree West neighborhood, a concerned citizen, and a faculty member in the Department of Horticulture at the University of Minnesota. I recently was traveling west on highway 6 just north of Parkers Lake. On this particular day, we had just received approximately 1.15" of rain. I noticed that the sprinklers were irrigating the landscape surrounding Parkers Lake. Also, I noticed the sprinklers were not functioning properly; some were spraying out onto the road and not rotating, some were broken off and were spraying water directly up in the air, and some were not working at all. This year, the state legislature passed a law requiring all new sprinkler system instillations have a rain sensor switch installed. Simply put, this switch will turn off the irrigation system after a rainfall event occurs. This is a good law that will conserve water. Even though this law only holds true for new instillations on residential landscapes, this does not mean that existing systems can not be equipped with the sensor. Nor does it mean that a commercial landscape or municipality can not be proactive and install these sensors. These sensors are cheap and can help us be better stewards of our water. As the city of Plymouth has been a leader in promoting water quality, this city should be better at promoting water conservation. I appreciate your time on this very important issue. Sincerely, Brian Horgan Resident of Plymouth 1� MAY 2 2 2503 ► a' -----Original Message ----- From: Larry Kelner [mailto:kelners@mpls.kl2.mn.us] Sent: Thursday, May.29, 2003 4:54 PM Subject: Re: CITY OF PLYMOUTH WEED ORDINANCE Thank you for sending me this [Ord2003-13]. I have a question. I did not see in the ordinance, the mention of the fees the City will assess if they come to a property and cut their weeds, or etc. And it did not mention the raise in the 1 st hour fee from $50 to $150. Why is that? It also does not state at what height the weeds or etc would have to be at, when the City would come out and do the cutting. And is this a loop hole. Plymouth Ponds Apts, which own the land along Nathan Lane from 45 to just south of 48th ( actually their land stops at my property), cut their lawn along Nathan Lane once, so far. Now they have a new thing. They are now only mowing about 1 ft back from the sidewalk, all along Nathan Lane to my property, and leaving the rest!!! It makes Nathan Lane Look terrible. Makes me wish my original idea for a new ordinace would have worked (I proposed laying a super heavy fine on land owners who did not take care of their property). Thanks for listening. Larry Kelner 5-20-03 3205 Ranier Lane North Plymouth, MN 55447 To City Council, I'm writing in regards to the wave, wait, and walk idea. I think it is a great idea and you should go ahead and try it. It would get drivers attention from seeing the flag moving and they would hopefully stop at the crosswalk. This would get cars to stop at cross walks and it's a fairly cheap way of doing it. It sounds like a good plan I believe the city should go ahead with the program. On the flip side I would agree with Mayor Johnson that little kids would throw the flags in the street or people would steal them. I feel that you should have several flags in the buckets because there will be several people walking across the street and you would want everyone to be able to have a flag. How would you plan to educate about this program? Have other cities tried this and if so what were the results? I feel if people were educated on this it would be a good concept to public safety. Thank You, Tim Borg 3a CITY OF PLYMOUTH - June 4, 2003 Joe Luby 13975 42nd Ave N Plymouth, MN 55446 Dear Mr. Luby: Mayor Johnson has forwarded your letter to me regarding the property across from your house at 13975 42nd Avenue. I have asked our park maintenance department to do the best that they can with the resources they have available to maintain this property in a reasonable fashion. As you know this property has been set aside for a possible future parking lot for Nature Canyon Park. Thus, we do not wish to sell the property at this time, nor do we wish to plant trees or shrubbery, which might have to be removed at a later date. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Sincerely, Eric Blank, Director Parks and Recreation EB/np cc: Superintendent of Parks 33 PLYMOUTH A Beautiful Place to Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509-5000 www.d.plymouth.mmus June 2, 2003 Mayor Judy Johnson City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor: I live at 13975 42"d Ave N in Plymouth right across the street from a Plymouth park. This park is not being maintained by the city, it is a breeding ground for all sorts of weeds, insects and other undesirable things. Last week I had my sons mow the area because of the mass dandelion population spreading throughout the neighborhood. I am asking that you address our concerns which include proper maintenance of this property including weed control or convert the property into something useful or sell the property for residential development. My wife and I call the city every year to request something be done to improve this situation. We are growing impatient, the city can spend over 1 million dollars on a garden near the soccer dome yet it can not maintain a small park? My property value and my neighbor's property values are suffering along with the increased cost and time in fighting the weed problems are extremely irritating. I need your help! I have also enclosed an invoice for my son's time and effort in cleaning up a park that is not being maintained properly. Sincerely, P 3� INVOICE June 2, 2003 Mowing and bagging city park $40.00 Please make check payable to Daniel Luby 1397542 nd Ave N. Plymouth, MN 55446 Z,< June 2, 2003 Arnold Palmer 5545 Glacier Lane N. Plymouth, MN 55446 Dear Mr. Palmer: I received your letter dated May 30, 2003 concerning the closing of Juneau Lane to the Glacier Vista Development, along with the photographs you enclosed showing construction equipment in that development and in The Reserve. I understand your concern that access to the private drive from Juneau has been blocked off. When the City approved the Glacier Vista project, it was with the condition that the developer either negotiate rights for an emergency access over the private drive, or install sprinklers in the new homes. The developer has not been able to reach agreement with the landowners controlling the private drive. As a consequence, there can be no emergency access from Juneau and physical obstacles have been put in place preventing access. As we discussed in May, now that your address has been officially changed from Juneau Lane to Glacier Lane, emergency services will be properly directed to reach your home via Glacier Lane and the other streets leading to it through The Reserve. Eventually, with development of the surrounding area, Cheshire Lane will be extended to County Road 47 and there will be another convenient option for access to the entire area. In the meantime, the City has provided for a temporary emergency access to the area from the north, via County Road 47 and Yucca Lane. During construction, traffic from equipment can create some congestion on local streets, as your photographs demonstrate. However, clear passage for traffic must be maintained. We will remind the developers in the area of their responsibility to maintain access, and will call it to the attention of our Police Department. If in the future you observe a condition that would prevent access to your area, please immediately dial "9-1-1" and enforcement action can be taken. Please call me at 763 509-5401 if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Anne W. Hurlburt, AICP Community Development Director cc: Dan Faulkner, Public Works Director Craig Gerdes, Police Chief John & Jane Engstrom Todd Stutz, Rottlund Homes JC� %t 20411- 0 gall /~I?,- 5/30/03 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is written in regards to giving notice of potential liability and in regard to the closing of Juneau Lane at the Glacier Vista project. The enclosed pictures will demonstrate that Cheshire Lane currently cannot provide suitable entrance to the residents in Glacier Vista. I have documented several instances where an emergency vehicle could not get through the Rottlund or Nedegaard projects. The original plat called for an entrance at the Engstrom location. This has seemingly been changed and is a serious matter to me and my family, new residents and future Plymouth residents and their families. It appears that currently we have a negligible entrance because there is only one road to accommodate thousands of homes and residents in our immediate area. There have been incidences in the past where emergency vehicles have needed to get through in our area. Your logs should show records of police, fire and ambulance calls to the area. My main concern is and has always been adequate emergency response for this area. Given the recent increase in homes in this area this simply is not so. I feel this issue needs immediate attention and I am requesting your response to this letter within the next ten days.

When the count is complete, we will again provide, Dr. James Cooper from the University of Minnesota, a final list. Our budget for this project is set at $13,000 and will allow us to remove birds from approximately 11 sites. The U of M charges the City $1,000 per site, plus a $15.00 processing fee for each adult bird. In our annual letter to residents, we clearly state that sites with the highest counts will receive first priority on the list. Homeowners and their associations have been advised that they have the ability to fund the removal themselves to ensure that their sites are included. At this time we have nine sites on the list and over the next couple of weeks, the list will grow and we will need to make a final determination as to which sites will be included. One site in particular, Lost Lake, is again on the initial list and the abatement program is again a point of controversy for its residents. Over the last two years we have had an ongoing concern with this site. There are a number of neighbors who oppose the abatement program, while there are two families in particular who support it. These two families reside on the northeast shore of the lake. Due to the lagoon -like setting and the available habitat, the geese tend to congregate in that location causing damage to their property. They have again requested our assistance and we have again heard opposition from the other neighbors. The two families who support the program are adamant that their site is included as their property is being damaged and that it is a water quality issue. One of the homeowners has suggested that even if their count is not high enough to make the list, the City must still remove the geese and must pay for it. Those who oppose the removal state that their association pays for its own water quality management program and that the City offers no direct funds to assist in that effort. Some of these individuals enjoy the geese and do not feel that their presence causes a water quality issue. Others within this faction are indifferent about the geese, but want to challenge to two families who support the program. As in years past, I believe that this issue might be brought to the City Council's attention by some of the homeowners. For that, I wanted to offer you this update. Clearly, this neighborhood issue is not about the birds alone. This is a point of true contention that actually resulted in criminal charges last summer. Due to the circumstances involved, I recommend that if the count is high enough, we take the birds as we would in any other case. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at your convenience.
