To Board and Commission members:
I encourage you to attend the Board and Commission Reception on February 25 from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. This event is an informal opportunity for the City Council to recognize
members of the City's boards and commissions for their volunteer efforts throughout the year.
I regret that I will be unable to attend the recognition event due to a prior commitment. The
Deputy Mayor and Councilmembers will be present to host the reception, and I will be with you
in spirit! I want to personally thank you for your service as a Board or Commission member and
to commend you for your contributions to the City of Plymouth. Plymouth is very fortunate to
have such dedicated individuals who are willing to share their time and talents!
Very truly yours,
Joy Tierney
Mayor

Plymouth Assistant City Manager Kathy Lueckert accepts new post in Kentucky

effective March 19. Lueckert has accepted the position of Deputy Executive Director at the national headquarters of the
Presbyterian Church in Louisville, Kentucky.
Lueckert has worked for the City of Plymouth since 1993. As Assistant City Manager, she has been
responsible for overseeing the City's communications services, personnel functions and city clerk/election
administration. She has worked on major citywide special projects, including the activity center/field house, City Hall

the City's representative to regional boards, including the executive boards of the Northwest Cable Television

committees. Professionally, Lueckert has served on the board of the Minnesota City/County Management Association
and on the Strategic Planning Committee of the International City/County Management Association.
While her new position will be a departure from city government. it will entail managing similar areas,
including communications and human resources. "It is an amazing opportunity, and an example of how unexpected
doors are opened to unexpected rooms, at very unexpected times," Lueckert said. She looks forward to -the new
challenge, but leaving Plymouth will be difficult. "Leaving Plymouth is not easy. I have great respect for the people I
have worked with and for the work they do. Plymouth will always occupy a prominent place in my heart," Lueckert
said.
"Kathy has been a valuable staff member. Her departure will leave us with a big hole to fill. Both the City
Council and City staff have appreciated her commitment to excellence over the past six years. She has been a key a staff
member who has worked effectively with elected officials as well as city staff members," said City Manager Dwight
Johnson.
Plans for filling the Assistant City Manager position have not yet been determined.

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
RE: Petroleum Storage Tank Release Investigation and Corrective Action
Site: Amoco Station #2370, 3855 Plymouth Boulevard, Plymouth
Site ID#: LEAK00012418
Dear Ms. Aulaf:
Notice of Release
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has been informed that a release of petroleum has occurred from
storage tank facilities which you own and/or operate. 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.
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).

Sites with free product (free-floating petroleum), drinking water supply impacts, surface water impacts, indoor vapor
impacts, fire or explosion hazards, or ground water impacts which pose a significant threat to public health or the
environment, are considered high priority for staff review. 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 (Supp. 1997), 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. Please tell us whether you intend to proceed with the requested
work. If you do not respond within this time frame, the MPCA staff will assume that you do not intend to comply, in which
case the MPCA Commissioner may order you to take corrective action. Failure to cooperate with the MPCA in a timely
manner may result in reduced reimbursement from the Petro Board. See Minn. R. 2890 (Supp. 1997). The enclosed fact
sheets will provide you with the information necessary to complete a successful investigation and cleanup. If you have any
questions concerning this letter or need additional information, please contact me at (651) 297-8582. Please reference the
above LEAK # in all correspondence. If you are calling long distance, you may reach the MPCA St. Paul office by calling
(1-800) 657-3864.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Serier

Dear Dwight
Enclosed, please find a check for $10,000. Beginning in 1999 the Northwest Suburbs Cable
Communications Commission has budgeted ten thousand dollars for each member city that is
cablecasting its city council meetings. The ten thousand dollars per year simply recognizes that
cities cablecasting their city council meetings have equipment expense. Over the usual seven to
eight year life of equipment this amounts to seventy to eighty thousand dollars.
Cities are free to spend more or less on equipment and do not have to justify their expenses to the
Commission. We would suggest however, that you consult with the staff of Northwest
Community Television before you actually purchase equipment. The staff at Northwest
Community Television has considerable equipment experience and will be able to help you
select the right equipment at the lowest possible price.
if you have any questions, please call me at 533-8196

Proposed City Council Minutes

Page 15
9.2 Eagle Lake Park
Councilmember Black expressed opposition to the golf course portion of the Eagle Lake
Park proposal. The Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District Board will consider
whether to move forward with final plans and bid specifications on Thursday evening,
and she believes the Council should provide input at this time. Councilmember Black
suggested that the City recommend that the Park District consider all active recreational
options for the site and that they delay action until that is accomplished. She also
recommended that the Park District consider deleting the nine -hole golf course and
possibly adding a skatepark on the site.
Councilmember Johnson noted that John Barton indicated at the earlier study session that
everything in the Eagle Lake Park development proposal will meet or exceed the City's
water quality requirements. She would also like the Park Board to consider alternatives.
Mayor Tierney suggested that a horse stable could also be a possible use on the site, but
acknowledged that other sites might be more feasible.
Councilmember Black said the Park District previously adopted a policy that the park
system should be self sufficient. This would be achieved through their enterprise
facilities. She believes this policy places undue pressure on the Park District areas
remaining to be developed to pay for themselves and minimizes the options for more
passive recreation facilities.
Councilmember Spigner suggested that a petting zoo be considered on the site. She
believes there is a government trend toward paying for services and self-sufficiency and
cited the example of Hennepin County operating a driving range on the work house
property.
Mayor Tierney said she is hesitant to formulate Council opinion on the Park District
proposal because the City Council has not had an opportunity to fully study the issue.
Community Development Director Hurlburt explained that if the Park District moves
forward with their proposal, the City Council will likely review the Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) in April. She said the Park District has indicated that they
will voluntarily submit an EAW; however, the City's interpretation of the rules is that an
EAW would be required for this proposal. The City Council would determine from the
EAW whether an Environmental Impact Statement is needed. When the environmental
process is completed, the Park District would apply for site plan and conditional use
permit approvals.
Park Director Blank suggested that the City Council should at some point consider the
correlation between the City park facilities and the regional park facilities in this area.
The Comprehensive Plan creates a hierarchy to ensure that services are not duplicated and

that trails are linked for maximum use and efficiency. He discussed the amenities
provided in several nearly city parks.
Councilmember Johnson agreed that recreational facilities and services should not be
duplicated. She said the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission work plan indicates
that in the event the private golf courses in -the City discontinue operating, the City should
attempt to purchase. If a golf course is developed by the Park District, the City may not
need or want to do that in the future.
Councilmember Black concurred that if the Park District develops a golf course with
public funds, the City should not do a similar project nearby.
Motion was made by Councilmember Black, seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to
request that the Park District explore all options for recreational activities on the site prior
to making the decision to move forward with the project and order preparation of final
plans and specifications.
Mayor Tierney said it would be difficult for the Park District to consider all possible
options. She would like to know where the City fits in the process.
Councilmember Johnson suggested that the City could provide a copy of these minutes to
the Park District so that all comments are considered. She said it has been difficult for
the City Council that residents brought this issue forward, and she wishes that the Park
District had brought the proposal to the City earlier.
Councilmember Spigner said she would support offering a suggestion that the Park
District consider additional options before approving the plans, but expressed concern
about appearing to tell another governmental body what to do.
Councilmember Bildsoe supported the recommendation to forward the minutes to the
Park District Board prior to their Thursday meeting. Mayor Tierney added that council
members can also attend that meeting.
Councilmember Black said that it is important that the City's opinion about the proposal
be submitted as part of the public comment period. She has concerns about the
notification process used by the Park District. She said the proposed development was
first publicly noticed in mid-November, and she learned of the project from a constituent.
She said the Park Board often mentions that this is a regional park, but they mailed notice
only those owners immediately abutting the site.
Motion to substitute was made by Councilmember Johnson, seconded by Mayor Tierney,
to forward the minutes of this meeting to the Park District.
Proposed City Council Minutes
February 16, 1999`, CJ
Page 17
Manager Johnson suggested an alternative motion that as planning proceeds on the Eagle
Lake Park Special Recreation Area, the Plymouth City Council encourages the Park
District to maintain flexibility to add amenities to the plan desired by residents or
members of the City Council that can be used by a wide variety of people.
Councilmember Black said that is it her feeling that the Park District has not given
credibility to the comments they have received to date, and she doesn't have faith in them
incorporating the comments into their process.
Substitute motion to send the minutes of theis meeting carried: Bildsoe, Johnson, Slavik,
Harstad, and Tierney ayes; Spigner and Black nays. Main motion carried, seven ayes.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Black, to
adjourn the meeting at 9:45 p.m. Motion carried, seven ayes.

SUBJECT: REVISED ROUTE 91C RIDERSHIP
Some time ago you and Councilmember Bildsoe requested information regarding the ridership
on Route 91C that was diverted to Schmidt Lake Road from 45`/46' Avenue. I have finally
been provided with ridership data from Metro Transit. This was an additional route that was
added to the system on December 15, 1998.
The ridership for the portion of Route 91C starting at Fernbrook and 44"' Avenue North,
thence northerly to Schmidt Lake Road and westerly to Vicksburg Lane, continuing southerly
to the park-and-ride at Rockford Road and Vicksburg Lane is as follows:
• Six passengers regularly board the bus along the route between 44`" and
Fernbrook Lane and the park-and-ride lot each morning.
• An average of three passengers usually board each morning at the park-and-
ride lot at Old Rockford Road and Vicksburg Lane (it is important to keep in
mind that we have not yet marketed this park-and-ride lot and no amenities
have been constructed).
We will continue to monitor the ridership and reevaluate service alternatives to this area.

SUBJECT: PLYMOUTH METROLINK'S THREE MILLIONTHER PROMOTION
Plymouth Metrolink will be providing its three millionth ride during 1999. Also during 1999,
Metro Transit will be conducting a promotion celebrating two billion passengers. Their
promotion is scheduled for April 8th and 9th of this year. Their promotion will include a
media event on April 8th, awarding a prize or prizes to a randomly selected passenger, and a
free ride morning on April 9th. The free rides will occur between 3:00 a.m and 9:00 a.m.
There is no corporate sponsor at this time (nor is one being sought) to underwrite the lost
fares.
We have agreed to participate with Metro Transit in their celebration and will also provide free
rides the morning of April 9th to all Metrolink passengers. With that in mind, it seems
appropriate for us to celebrate our three millionth passenger at the same time they are
celebrating their 2 billionth passenger.
We have decided that Plymouth Metrolink should conduct a media event of its own on April
8th (in the a.m.) at one of the park-and-ride lots where a randomly selected passenger would
be awarded two free monthly passes and possibly some other gifts collected from City
businesses and/or stores. Additionally, it would be our intention to provide all passengers with
some promotional item or items at that time in addition to the free ride in the morning.
The local press and cable Channel 12 would be invited in addition to the Mayor and City
Councilmembers.
As I indicated previously, Plymouth Metrolink will participate with Metro Transit in the free
ride morning on April 9th. This participation would include all services with a total cost of
NApw\Engineering\TRANS MMEMOS\1999\3 mil lionth_rider.doc

Page 2
lost fares in the $250 to $350 range. The total event including lost fare revenue would
probably cost Plymouth Metrolink $1,000. Funds are available in the 1999 Budget for a
promotional event such as this.
Unless you have concerns regarding this promotion, I will set the "wheels" in motion so that
we will have a successful event.

SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A PILOT PROG O SERVE
SECOND AND THIRD WORK SHIFTS FOR SEVERAL PLYMOUTH
BUSINESSES
We have been working diligently to provide requested and much needed transportation services
for the second and third shifts of various Plymouth employers. It is important to emphasize at
the onset that no additional vehicles are required to implement the additional service.
Additionally, it is important to note that existing Dial -A -Ride (DAR) service will not be
harmed in any way by the implementation of this plan. Mini -coaches in our fleet identified as
Metrolink vehicles will be utilized as additional DAR vehicles to provide the additional
services.
Attached is a revised service plan, with emphasis on Phase I at this time, that will help meet
the second and third shift needs of Hutchinson Technologies in northeastern Plymouth as well
as PAM Company, Minntech Corporation, Olympic Steel, and the second shift needs of
Scoville Press (all located in south central Plymouth). It is very possible that the service we
will be providing will also help other businesses that we have not been currently in contact
with.
Jim Baldwin, Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc., is in the process of preparing route timings in
order for us to calculate overall transportation costs. We do not anticipate that the overall cost
will be burdensome because we are maximizing our existing resources and taking advantage of
current existing deadhead trips whenever possible. Additionally, the expanded hours of Dial -
A -Ride service from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. greatly enhances the potential service
opportunities and will provide frequently requested later service to Plymouth residents.

SECOND AND THIRD WORK SHIFTS FOR SEVERAL PLYMOUTH
BUSINESSES
Page 2
Meetings will be scheduled with Hutchinson Technologies, Minntech Corporation, PAM
Company, Olympic Steel, and Scoville Press to discuss financial underwriting. We are
working on a plan that would involve six months of direct underwriting by businesses (payable
either in one lump sum or on a monthly basis) and six additional months of seat guarantees.
This process should get us to a point where we can properly assess the success of the service
and make changes as necessary. After we have received the data from Jim Baldwin at Laidlaw
Transit Services, we will be able to make the initial cost calculations or the additional service
as well as determine a suggested underwriting amount for the employers agreeing to participate
in the program. Initially we will be looking for underwriting costs that guarantee our
transportation cost will not exceed the amount previously budgeted for this additional service
during calendar year 1999.
This Implementation Plan will be presented to the Job Fair Steering Committee on Wednesday,
February 17`h, and will also be the basis for a press release later in the week to provide further
encouragement for businesses to sign up for the Job Fair. We believe this service will get
good coverage by the newspapers and will also be notifying businesses of the plan as soon as
possible via letter.
We hope to have all of the details of this program worked out for announcement of the
anticipated implementation date of March 15, 1999, at the third annual Commute West Job
Fair on March 11, 1999.

Tim Silver
3310 Vagabond Lane N.
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Tim,
Thank you for your thoughtful letter of February 4. Any time a mayor (or any councilmember)
votes it is well they have reasons for voting as they do. In regard to the penalties for liquor
license violations debated and voted on at the February 2 City Council meeting, I am more than
willing to state my reasons for my position.
First of all, I am sending you a copy of the State Laws and Plymouth's City Code delineating
local administrative penalties that serve as our legal foundation for establishing procedures of
enforcement and assessing penalties. I believe you will find this information helpful.
While I did reluctantly vote for the first violation (that for Broadway Station Pizza Restaurant),
to go beyond the Presumptive Penalties for Violation in days of suspension (from three to five), I
began to see a pattern of debate by the Council that was not going to comply with Presumptive
Penalties on any of the violations before us that evening. It was then that I began to get
increasingly nervous about the potential for arbitrary decision—making by the Council or
establishing new Presumptive Penalties without citizen or seller input. I also saw a pattern
developing for devoting a considerable amount of council meeting time in the establishment of
harsher penalties for each commercial violator. Additionally, the City Council seemed to be
establishing higher penalties as the answer for achieving future compliance. As you may have
noted, as a result of the votes, our City Attorney was instructed to write Findings of Fact (a legal
measure to explain what we did and why) for each of the four issues. I believe the Council's
main role in compliance issues is to establish standard penalties and penalties that encourage
compliance that do not turn us into an adjudicative body.
My voting pattern and remarks have expressed my desire for the City Council:
— To review the reasoning behind the already established City standards.
— To come to a clearer understanding of why changes should or should not be made.

— To try to establish standards that are seldom deviated from to lessen the need for
Findings of Fact and lessen Council meeting time devoted to liquor license violations.
— To establish a citizen/seller/staff focus group, if necessary, to assure citizen
involvement in setting standards and establishing procedures that will encourage
compliance as opposed to unilateral Council action.
— To let it be known that it is also a misdemeanor for anyone under 21 to attempt to
purchase alcohol with a Minnesota ID and, because of our current law, a 20 year—old
individual can secure for an 18 year—old server a gross misdemeanor penalty if that
server was ill—trained or makes a mistake.
— To make it understood that when minors' personal actions result in heavy criminal
penalties being placed on an establishment or a seller that minors must in turn expect
increased personal responsibility for their actions.
The rest of the Council and I are in agreement that the issue of the sale of alcohol to minors must
be addressed with utmost seriousness. I am arguing for spending more council time gaining an
understanding of what makes for greater compliance and for less council time deciding each
individual case. I believe that education and electronics are going to make a bigger difference in
achieving compliance than stiffer penalties. I simply do not believe that all the businesses we are
seeing with violations are purposeful law violators. The responsibility for obeying the law on
alcohol sales to minors is one that belongs to all of us.
Thank you for your letter. I welcome any suggestions you may have on this issue. If you have
any comments or questions on this or any other issue do not hesitate to call or write.
Sincerely,
Joy Tierney
Mayor

Pappas, AMM talk
about property taxes
The AMM Revenue Committee metwith
Sen. Sandra Pappas (D -St. Paul) last
week to discuss the property tax system
and possible changes.
There was an excellent exchange of
ideas concerning property tax issues.
Committee members suggested that the
legislature try to quantify what services
provided by local governments should be
funded from state versus local sources and
then determine the best finance method.
AMM staff will continue to document the
AMM's policies as they relate to several of
the senator's property tax principles.

TIF bills heard in House
The House Local Government Commit-
tee heard three bills regarding Tax
Increment Financing (TIF).
The bills were special bills for the cities
of Onamia, Nisswa and Milaca and were
passed to the Tax Committee without
recommendation. The Onamia and Nisswa
bills proposed extension of either district
duration or of the five-year rule, while the
Milaca bill relates to a district established
between 1979 and 1982.
Milaca City Manager Greg Lerud noted
that the district has spent increment outside
the district and the Office of State Auditor
(OSA) has not notified the city that it is in
non-compliance.
Lerud stated that the city is aware of the
OSA s interpretation of not being able to
spend increment outside the district and is
proposing language to validate its action.
In response to the presentation Rep.
Abrams (R -Minnetonka) asked if the city
would be willing to decertify its district once
all obligations were paid. He noted that in
1998 two other cities had their expenditures
validated and decertified the district when all
obligations were paid.
In response to the question, Lerud stated
that the city would consider the option and
would provide financial information regard-
ing the district to the committee.
At this time it is not certain how the
House Tax Committee will respond to the
1979-1982 issue, general law or special
laws, but at least five special laws have
been introduced in the House.
Author of corporate welfare report
addresses legislative committees
The Institute on Taxation and Eco-
nomic Policy, a nonprofit organization
located in Washington DC, released a
report regarding state and local government
economic development.
The report, "Economic Development in
Minnesota: High Subsidies, Low Wages,
Absent Standards," analyzes
the 550 economic develop-
ment disclosure forms
submitted by cities as required
by state law (MS 116J.991).
The report's author Greg
LeRoy spoke to three
legislative committees and
noted that based on his
analysis, Minnesota is paying
too much in subsidy for the number and
type of jobs created. Several examples
were cited of cities reporting a per job
subsidy in excess of $100,000.
In response to the report, the AMM and
the LMC emphasized to legislators that Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) is a tax base
enhancement program and has the goals of
redevelopment, pollution clean-up, housing
development and. economic development.
Many legislative committee members
responded that tax increment is a vital tool
to cities and while the report identifies
several issues related to the reporting
statute, the report should not be
-�nsidered a definitive
statement on economic
development.
In the Senate, the
report's presentation was
followed by a discussion of
SF 607, the Corporate
Subsidy Reform Bill. The bill
is introduced has numerous
issues that must be re-
solved. Among them are the offering of
subsidies for a business to relocate from
one Minnesota city to another, the content of
the reporting forms, the penalties for non-
compliance, the definition of a business
subsidy and the requirement that a certain
wage level be paid if a subsidy is granted

Limits on development

The Builders Association of Minnesota
has drafted legislation to amend
Minnesota Statutes section 452.353.
The bill is likely to be introduced in the
near future. The two provisions of the
bill that will directly impact municipali-
ties are that a municipality must not
condition approval of a development
upon waiver of the developer's right to
appeal under chapter 429, and that a
municipality or county must accept a

Bill would require
defibrillators in ambulances
A bill on regulation of ambulance
services and first responders contains
a provision that would require every
ambulance in active service to have
an automatic defibrillator by Jan. 1,
2000. Staff from the Emergency
Medical Services Regulatory Board
stated that all ambulance services
except one in the state have at least
one of these devices. But they do not
know how many ambulance services
have a need for more defibrillators
due to having more than one ambu-
lance in service at the same time. The
machines can cost $2,000 to $3,000
each. If this requirement would be a
burden on your city's ambulance
budget, please call Eric Willette at the
League, (651) 281-1263.
The bill also could affect the regulation
of fire departments that provide first
responder services. Representatives
of the fire service are currently
analyzing those portions of the bill,
and their conclusions will be shared in
a future Cities Bulletin.
Senate sales tax repeal bill
The Senate Sales and Income Tax
Subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Steve
Murphy (DFL -Red Wing) heard six of
the Senate bills that would repeal the
sales tax on local government pur-
chases. The authors in attendance
included Sens. Charles Wiger (DFL -
White Bear Lake), Warren Limmer (R -
Maple Grove), Dan Stevens (R -Mora),
and John Hottinger (DFL -Mankato).
The Senate hearing marks the first
time both the House and Senate have
heard these bills in committee.
The committee discussed the circum-
stances that led to the imposition of the
tax in 1992, and whether an exemption
would actually reduce local govern-
ment costs to taxpayers, Committee
members seemed to agree the tax is
poor public policy. A full exemption
would reduce state sales tax receipts
by an estimated $174 million in the
coming biennium. Chairman Murphy
summarized the hearing by stating,
,,It costs a lot of money and it's a big
injustice. The bills will be considered
for inclusion in the omnibus tax bill.
We will have to place considerable
pressure on the Legislature to ensure
the repeal is included in the House
and Senate tax bills. Please write your
legislators and encourage their
support for these bills.
House police pursuit bill
The House Crime Prevention Bill heard
H.F. 381, which would mandate eight
hours of training in emergency vehicle
operation every two years for all
peace officers in the state, The bill
also would require newtire-deflating
equipment for squad cars. The bill
currently contains state funding for
the equipment and training, but several
Corporations bill to be heard
The House Local Government Commit-
tee will hear a bill on Monday regard-
ing the authority of local governments
to create corporations. H.F. 777,
authored by Rep. Ann Rest (DFL -New
Hope), responds to the recently -
released report by the office of the
State Auditor. The bill would delay the
expiration of corporations created by
local governments cited in the report.
It would establish a task force of
legislators, local officials, and the state
auditor to develop legislation relating to
establishment of corporations by
political subdivisions.
Senate holds LGA hearing
The Senate Property Tax and Local
Government Budget Division held an
informational hearing on LGA Tues-
day. Committee members heard
presentations from Dept. of Revenue
staff and representatives of the
League, the Association of Small
Cities, the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities, and the Coalition of
Greater Minnesota Cities. Division
Chair, Sen. Sandy Pappas (DFL -St.
Paul) called the meeting because
several small cities have sought
special legislation to increase LGA.
Sen. Pappas is looking for common
factors in these cities that indicate a
shortcoming of the current formula.
She hopes to find away to ' tweaW'
the formula to address the common
concerns of these types of cities.

be our facilitator for the day.
Please submit to me your "top ten" ideas for city council goals and priorities for the next
two year, 1999 and 2000. Ten is the upper limit—feel free to suggest less than ten! I
must have your list by February 26, 1999. Use the attached sheet. Then Mr. Brimeyer

Re: Adams Outdoor Advertising Limited Partnership, et al.
vs. The City of Plymouth, et al.
Court File No. AP 98-3253
Dear Anne:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Court's Order Granting Summary Judgment in the
above matter. The Court has dismissed Adams' lawsuit against the City.
The judge determined that the moratorium relating to advertising signs remained in
place after the City adopted the other revisions to its zoning ordinance. The Court also
determined that in any event the City's new ordinance prohibiting billboards precluded any
claims being made by Adams because it did not have any vested rights to erect a billboard.
The decision is well reasoned. There is ample prior case law supporting the judge's
decision. A judgment will be entered by the Court on or about March 6, 1999, at which
time Adams will have an additional sixty days to appeal the decision to the Minnesota Court
of Appeals. Hopefully they will decide not to appeal. If they do, I am confident that the
Court of Appeals would uphold the District Court decision dismissing the lawsuit.
Please call if you have any questions. I will contact you either upon receipt of a
Notice of Appeal or upon expiration of the appeal time.
Best regards,
