Also included as part of the proposed budget is the proposed 2004 assessment as called for in Article VIII, Subd. 3, regarding the City's contribution to the Commission's general fund. The Joint and Cooperative Agreement provides that each municipality has until August 1 to object to items in the budget or to otherwise offer comments on items contained therein. Comments should be directed to Mr. John O'Toole, Chairman of the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission, c/o Barr Engineering Company, 4700 West 77`x' Street, Suite 200, Minneapolis, MN 55435, or by calling him at 763-764-2422.

Article VIII, Subdivision 3, provides that each member agrees to contribute each year to a general fund to be used for administrative purposes and certain operating expenses. Half of the annual contribution of each member is based on assessed valuation of property within the watershed and the other half on the ratio of area of each member within the watershed to the total area of the Bassett Creek watershed. Subdivision 5 of Article VIII further provides: "On or before July 1 of each year, the Board shall adopt a detailed budget for the ensuing year and decide upon the total amount necessary for the general fund." Budget approval requires a two-thirds vote (six Commissioners). Further, the Secretary "shall certify the budget on or before July 1 to the clerk of each member governmental unit, together with a statement of the proportion of the budget to be provided by each member." Each of the nine members then has until August 1 to file an objection to the budget. The budget proposal for 2004 was prepared by a Budget Committee consisting of John O'Toole (Commission and Committee Chair), David Hanson (Commission Treasurer), Michael Welch, Bill Yaeger, Elizabeth Thornton, Pauline Langsdorf, and Karla Peterson. A representative of Barr Engineering Company advised on engineering -related items. The approved 2004 budget is enclosed. Although the flood control project is completed, budget for inspecting the project has been included. In 2001 and 2002, much of the work was directed toward preparation of the State -mandated "second generation plan." The plan will be completed in 2003. The year 2004 budget of $376,656 was adopted by eight commissioners (city of Minnetonka not represented) voting in favor of the budget at the Commission meeting on June 19, 2003. Specific items in the budget are discussed below. Engineering services are budgeted at $163,000 in 2004. Many of the individual items are similar to the 2003 budgets. These are: Administrative costs ($100,000), Attendance at Commission Meetings ($10,000), Surveys and Studies ($25,000), Water Quantity ($5,000), Watershed Inspections ($10,000), and Annual Inspections ($8,000). Water Quality monitoring is budgeted for $5,000. Municipal Plan Review was not budgeted for in 2004. Water Quality expenditures, which for many years have been directed at examining methods for improving water quality in Bassett Creek and its several sub -drainage basins, will now be concerned largely with monitoring water quality. The budgeted amount for 2002 was reduced mid -year and no amount was budgeted for 2003. The water quality sampling intervals are being reviewed for future monitoring. 2. Planning services are budgeted at $52,000 in 2004. Tasks include submitting the Second Generation Plan (mandated by the State law) for review and approval and Plan implementation (largely water quality projects). Much of the work will be drafting, printing, and distributing the plan for review and responding to comments. 3. Routine Legal services are budgeted at $13,000. 4. Financial Management is budgeted for $1,000 for services provided by the Deputy Treasurer at the City of Golden Valley. 240777 1 1 `t/ 5. Liability Insurance, Auditing and Bonding is minimally increased to $7,000. 6. Secretarial services, including mailing and copying, are budgeted at $27,000. 7. Public Relations are budgeted as follows: Publications/Annual Report ($3,000), Website improvements ($4,000), Watershed Outlet Monitoring Program (WOMP) ($10,000), Citizens Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) ($4,000), the Hennepin Conservation District River Watch Program ($1,500), and Watershed Partners ($5,000). 8. Public Communications is not budgeted in 2004. The Commission will coordinate communications with its member cities. 9. Demonstration Projects was reduced to $1,000. Criteria are being prepared for how demonstration projects will be funded. 10. Erosion/Sediment (Maintenance Project) is budgeted at $25,000. 11. Long -Term Maintenance (Flood Control Project) is budgeted at $25,000. 12. The Contingency item is budged at $5,000. At its June 19, 2003 meeting, the Commissioners also considered the assessment on the cities. The 2004 assessment was adopted by eight commissioners (city of Minnetonka not represented) voting in favor to levy $376,656 for the 2004 fiscal year, as compared with the $358,000 adopted in 2003, an increase based on the following: Funding Needs: 2004 Administrative Budget............................................................................................... $346,500 2003 Budget Deficit............................................................................................................ 30.156 Total.................................................................................................................................... $376,656 Funding Source: Proposed 2004 Assessment................................................................................................. $376,656 Assessment proposed for 2004 Medicine Lake Capital Projects (Hennepin County) ........$850,100 The de jail�d levy for 2004 by cXmmunities is also enclosed.

City governments are struggling to cope with state aid cuts, restrictions on property tax increases, and unyielding public expectations for municipal services. Five mayors and one former mayor met with editorial writer Lori Sturdevant at this month's League of Minnesota Cities annual conference to describe the situation they face. The group included St. Cloud's John Ellenbecker, Plymouth's Judy Johnson, Crystal's Peter Meintsma, Lonsdale's Harold Yosejpka, Windom's Coralee Krueger and New Brighton's former mayor Bob Benke. Here is some of what they had to say, Meintsma, Crystal. Our general fund budget is $9.4 million. We're losing about 9 percent of that [in lost state aid]. I hear so much that cities need to cooperate, share services. We're doing that, to a great degree. The only thing left is the merger of cities, which I favor. We're hurting. Older suburbs like ours and central cities are all sharing the same difficulties, in trying to have viable communities that attract homeowners and middle-class residents, and thus prevent the collapse of our cities. We've done a lot by way of scattered -site housing redevelopment. Poor people move into them who don't have enough money to maintain them, and the process of depreciation accelerates. Ifyou don't turn that around, you have slums. That's something the Chamber of Commerce is not willing to recognize. All they want to say is "no taxes. " Yet public money is the only way you turn around that process of deterioration. The marketplace absolutely does nothing to resolve the problem of deteriorating housing, in my 30 -some years ofexperience. You need public money to do it. We're all in it together. If the central cities collapse, if all the suburbs can't maintain themselves, can't improve themselves, everyone is going to be hurting. It's false economy to not invest in these communities before it's too late. Benke, New Brighton: Many older cities are looking at major shifts in demographics. A lot of our communities, older outstate cities and first -ring suburbs, have a substantial amount of our housing occupied by older people. Ifyou can't reinvest in your community to attract young families, you wind up losing the older residents too. They move to be closer to the grandchildren. The state does not have a redevelopment policy. The state's redevelopment policy was tax -increment financing Meintsma, Crystal. And they won't let us do it, Bob. They put curbs on us because they don't think we know enough about our own communities to make our own decisions, and face the political anger of our constituents, if that's what it amounts to. I'm willing to do that. I'm willing to face the voters if I would propose that we need a substantial new levy to rebuild housing, and maintain their property values. We'll benefit the Chamber of Commerce if they would support a tax to do that. Johnson, Plymouth: I'm not interested in going in the direction of new [types oj] taxes. I just want to get levy limits out of there. There's a thing called a franchise fee that we don't charge. There are all kinds offees out there, other vehicles for revenue that you can put in place. Our chamber met with us, and they said, "Taxation should be easy to understand, simple and direct. " Then keep it where it's supposed to come from. Don't make it so complicated with a water fee and a service fee and an ad valorem here, another taxing district there. We're elected. We're accountable. Let us manage our communities. Krueger, Windom: We've had a permanent loss of $225,000, out of a $1.8 million budget. We've begun a three-phase reduction. We started in March. We reduced hours in our library and our community center. We're going to be closed on Saturdays this summer in our library, and people are up in arms about it. We did the second round of cuts in June, and they said, "Oh! It's not over! "Now, they are getting it. The last phase ofcuts comes in September. Things aren't all doom and gloom. We're going to win an award this week for towns under 10,000, for economic development. We're taking advantage of federal programs to spruce up our city. We haven't lost population in 10 years. Johnson, Plymouth: If we had not been in a consortium for our health care, this year our health insurance costs would have gone up 41 percent. As it is, we were held to about the 20 percent range. Health care is one of the biggest costs cities face, because we are so heavily personnel. We're at about $840,000 in [state aid] cuts for this year, from a $20 million budget. We had the fastest -growth year ever in the city of Plymouth. The change in the growth factor in our levy limits hurts us, huge. "All those new homes, "people think, 'you'll be able to capture their tax base to put into your general fund, to service those citizens. " With restricted growth, you can't levy for growth. Our levy is locked into last year's amount, and we've got all these new citizens coming in. We don't have the employees to service them, whether it be administration, utilities, police, fire. Citizens are starting to call and ask, how come? "The pothole?" Well, I might not have somebody out therefor quite a while. "The weeds? You used to do such a nice job, " they say. Well, that's probably the lowest priority. WE I don't know of any consumer or constituent who says, "Please do less for me, do it slower, and don't worry about getting back tome." We're such a consumer -driven society, people expect more and more. Vosejpka, Lonsdale: We did get cut, but it's only about $59,000 [out of a city budget of $535, 000]. We'll deal with it quite well, because of our growth. That capping of the growth factor in the levy limit doesn't pertain to us, because we're under 2,500 [population]. Last year, we had 72 new houses built. This year, we've already got 46. The thing 1 have a problem with: There's a city in my county that has 25,000 [residents]. They levy $2 million and get $6 million from the state. My feeling is that no city should've been getting more than what they levy. Ellenbecker, St Cloud: What about the inherent regressive nature of the property tax, and the negative impact it has on our communities? The beauty of LGA [local government aidj is that it spread the burden of paying for services across a more progressive tax, the income tax. They have not given us the ability as cities to spread our costs across a more progressive base. In a city like St. Cloud, our housing valuations will go up more than 10 percent this year. I won't increase our tax rate this year, yet that elderly couple we talk about will see a significant increase in their property taxes because of the increased valuation of their home. That simply is not a fair way. They have not increased the burden of services in St. Cloud. They are going to be paying an increasingly larger share, both because of the valuation increase and because of what the Legislature did shifting emphasis from commercial/industrial property back to low -valued homes. They are the people who can least afford to pay a greater share. We have to have a more progressive view of the tax picture in its entirety. The bigger picture is being lost. The ultimate outcome will be that the older outstate cities will be less and less able to afford to keep the services that people expect, and they are all going to come to St. Cloud. We'll survive, but at what cost? Benke, New Brighton: 1 think most cities will survive this process. But 1 think the payback and the outcomes of our retrenching won't be known for many years. That's maybe part of the Legislature's strategy, to shove off their problems. They'll be gone by the time the bills come due. Meintsma, Crystal: We'll still be here, but with diminished services and diminished attractiveness and a spiral of downgrading. To arrest it will require a greater cost five years from now than it would today. Johnson, Plymouth: We are all bound by one thing, and that's love of Minnesota. We are all in this together. We can still all support each other. Lori Sturdevant is a Star Tribune editorial writer and columnist. She is at lsturdevanogstartribune.com. O Copyright 200_.3. Star Tribune.

Faulkner, P.E., Director of Public Works /J I FROM: Pat J. Qvale, Public Services Manager SUBJECT: METROLINK BUS ROUTE CHANGES EFFECTIVE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2003 BACKGROUND: Planning has been underway for some time to make service changes to routes 770, 776 and 777 to coincide with the regional "pick" date of Saturday, September 13, 2003. Since Plymouth Metrolink fixed route services do not operate on weekends, the effective date for service changes would be Monday, September 15, 2003. These service changes are intended to eliminate duplicate service on Co. Rd. 101 and to improve service from the Park & Ride lot at Plymouth Covenant Church (Vicksburg Lane and Old Rockford Road) by providing direct service from that site to downtown Minneapolis, eliminating the transfer at the Park & Ride lot at Hwy. 55 and Co. Rd. 73. Other changes previously discussed (Routes 770, 771, 740, 741 at the Plymouth Road Transit Station, and reverse commute service by Route 772), which would have become necessary if Metro Transit made service changes on I-394 that disrupted connections, will be placed on hold for now. Metro Transit has been able to accommodate our service schedule with their revamped I-394 service. CHANGES TO ROUTES 776 AND 777: Route 776: At the present time Route 776 begins its route at Hwy. 55 and Co. Rd. 101. The revised route will begin at Plymouth Covenant Church and will pick up the western portion of the current 777 route. At Old Rockford Road and Peony Lane the 776 buses will turn south, go across Hwy. 55 and pick up the present 776 route. Route 777: This route will be truncated to begin at Plymouth Covenant Church and then run the remainder of its current route. Instead of stopping to de -board, passengers at 55 & 73, the 777 will continue on to downtown Minneapolis. This will provide a direct downtown trip for the 777 passengers, including the new service from The Reserve development. In the afternoon, the 777 0:\Engineering\TRANSI7IRESOL\2003\CC Memo re 770_776_777 6_24_03.doc SUBJECT: METROLINK BUS ROUTE CHANGES EFFECTIVE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2003 Page 2 will pick up passengers in downtown Minneapolis and bring them directly out to Plymouth where they will be dropped off along the 777 route. ROUTE 770: With the implementation of Route 776, an existing portion of Route 770 starting at Co. Rd. 24 and Medina Road, west to Co. Rd. 101 and south on Co. Rd. 101 to Co. Rd. 6 became redundant. Revised Route 770 will begin service at Co. Rd. 101 and Co. Rd. 6 and then complete the remainder of its existing route. This is not a service elimination because Route 776 now runs this portion of the route. COST: Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. operates all three of these routes, and would be able to accommodate these service changes with existing vehicles. Due to the elimination of the above described portion of Route 770, the extension of Route 776 and the trips to and from downtown by Route 777, there would be a net additional service cost related to these route revisions: Route 770 - (0.75) hours per day Route 776 - 1.78 hours per day Route 777 - 4.89 hours per day Total - 5.92 hours per day X Rate - $ 50.80 per hour Daily Cost - $300.74 per day The total cost for these service changes from September 15, 2003 to the end of the year would be approximately $22,180.00. Budget service enhancements had been on hold for 2003 to evaluate the revenue flow from the State of Minnesota through the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET). Our 12 months of experience indicates the enhancements are supported by our current revenue stream. DISCUSSION: The revisions to Routes 776 and 777 will be considered to be on an 18 month trial basis. Periodically we will review the status of these routes and the impact on ridership from the Park & Ride lot at Plymouth Covenant Church to determine the success of these changes. The Plymouth Metrolink Facilities Study completed in January, 2003 indicated a significant underutilization of the Park & Ride at Plymouth Covenant Church. A redetermination of these routes will be made if improvements are not seen in P&R ridership during this trial period. The revision to Route 770 will be permanent. SUMMARY: The Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit adopted the service changes for Routes 770, 776 and 777 as outlined in this memo on June 25, 2003.

Box 47411 Plymouth, MN 55447 612-889-3800 In August 2001, my husband and I expressed our concerns about drainage issues regarding the development of Stone Creek Village in Plymouth. We voiced our concern at the August 28, 2001 public meeting and sent a letter in follow up to Barbara G. Senness, Planning Manager, dated August 30, 2001. The drainage issues have worsened since the project has started this spring. Water is flooding our driveway, and more water is draining towards our property located at 11215- 12th Ave. N. than in prior years. We recommended in August 2001 that sufficient ponding areas be developed for this project in order to avoid negatively affecting the water level of our property. It does not appear that this has taken place. Several loads of fill have been brought in to develop the Stone Creek project. It does not seem, however, that there is sufficient ponding to compensate for the extra fill since we are getting additional drainage unto our property. It is the City of Plymouth's responsibility to ensure that the buildings at the property 11215 12th Ave. N. are not damaged by water due to drainage issues caused by this project or others in the area. The city engineers had the opportunity to thoroughly examine this issue, as we urged in August 2001, before approving the project. We strongly recommend that the City reevaluate the ponding areas of the project while it is still in progress.
