Visit our web site at: www.co.hennepin.mn.us/commhlth/reports/shape.htm INTRODUCTION The Hennepin County Community Health Department and the Minneapolis Department of Health and Family Support, with assistance from the Minnesota Department of Health, developed and conducted the Survey of the Health of Adults, the Population, and the Environmeft (SHAPE), during 1997 and 1998, among adult residents of Minneapolis and suburban Hennepin County. A primary reason for conducting the SHAPE survey was to provide data on the health status and the determinants of health of adults in Hennepin County. These data will be useful for planning, programming, and policy development to government agencies, health plans, and other organizations. A second major reason was to establish the baseline data for geographic areas within Hennepin County and the county as a whole to help measure changes in health indicators over time. SHAPE consisted of a survey of 10,745 randomly selected adults aged 18 and older within Hennepin County. A total of 10,731 telephone interviews were conducted by the Survey Research Center at the Division of Health Services Research and Policy located in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota. In addition, 14 in-person interviews were conducted among respondents who could not be interviewed by phone because of hearing problems. The questions in SHAPE included items from a number of major health-related topics. The topics included: 1. Community Support and Social Environment; 2. Chronic Disease, Physical Disability, and Injury; 3. Lifestyle and Risk Behavior; 4. Health Care and Women's Health Screening; and 5. Physical and Mental Well -Being. A unique and important feature of the survey design is that samples of approximately 550 adults were drawn from each of 19 separate geographic areas within Hennepin County. The city of Minneapolis was divided into eleven areas (Map 1) and suburban Hennepin County was divided into eight areas (Map 2). The eleven areas within Minneapolis consisted of previously established planning communities. Cities within suburban Hennepin County were grouped into eight areas based on geographic proximity. These areas can be aggregated for regional public health planning. The communities and cities in the 19 geographic areas are listed below: 1 - Calhoun -Isles 12 - Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Fort Snelling, Richfield 2 - Camden 13 - Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope, Robbinsdale 3 - Central 14 - Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Osseo 4 - Longfellow 15 - Champlin, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medicine Lake, Plymouth 5 - Near North 16 - Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park 6 - Nokomis 17 - Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Long Lake, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, 7 - Northeast Orono, St. Bonifacius, Shorewood, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Wayzata, Woodland 8 - Phillips 18 - Greenfield, Independence, Loretto, Maple Plain, Medina, Rockford 9 - Powderhorn 19 - Corcoran, Hanover, Hassan, Rogers 10 - Southwest SHAPE 1998: Area -Specific Report - Area 75 Map 1 1 5 No ""0"00s Survey A... lon 10 Map 2 19 „..'.., ,...,..

Area -Specific Report - Area 75 L l� Area 15 SHAPE Area 15 consists of the cities of Champlin, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medicine Lake, and Plymouth. These cities are outer -ring suburbs in the northern part of Hennepin County. This area has seen rapid population growth in the past decade, with new housing replacing former farm fields and woodlands. Champlin is approximately eight square miles in size and is bounded by the Mississippi River on the east and north. Dayton is bounded, in part, by the Mississippi River and the Elm Creek Regional Park. The city had a major building boom in the 1970s and more recently a boom in fewer, but much more expensive, houses.

The Senior Services Chore Project of Robbinsdale Area Schools, a program of community education, will now be able to offer the elderly residents of your city an affordable house painting program and homemaker services. Since 1984, the Senior Services Chore Project has provided seasonal yard maintenance, minor home repairs, snow removal and housecleaning services for your elderly residents. During 1998, we provided over 700 hours of service to 30 Plymouth residents. Over seventy percent of the Plymouth residents provided with services are older than 70. On average, these residents have used the Senior Services Chore Project program more than five years for help in maintaining their homes and yards. Over the years we have received several referrals from city inspectors and other senior program staff for elderly residents needing the kind of help the Senior Services Chore Project provides. Unfortunately, we often experience waiting lists due to lack of workers. Additionally, there are some services we have not been able to provide, such as the painting program and homemaker services. Our new venture with the H.O.M.E. program will enable us to hire and supervise paid workers to provide these much needed services. Helping elderly residents maintain a healthy and safe environment in which to live continues to be the primary mission for the Senior Services Chore Project. Our role supports the City of Plymouth in maintaining current housing stock owned by these residents. The goal of the Senior Services Chore Project is simple. Continue providing the services we have for the past 15 years, and expand services to meet the current and future needs of your elderly residents. Your support of the funding request before you from Senior Community Services will help us achieve this goal. Please feel free to call us if we can answer any questions you may have. We thank you for your support of our program and services.

On July 14 the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to continue gathering comments. On July 27, we will be asking the Council and Commission to decide which of the changes, if any, should be included in the draft land use element of the plan, which is scheduled to be reviewed at the August 31 joint work session. In addition to the decisions that need to be made for the urban area at the July 27' meeting, we will be asking the Council and Commission to review a draft land use plan and a draft sewer staging plan for the 2020 expansion area in Northwest Plymouth. We will need direction from you at that meeting if changes need to be made before they are incorporated into the draft plan. While the land use plan for the 2020 expansion area will closely follow the concept plan approved by the Council in October of 1998, the sewer staging plan is new information of great interest to the land owners and others following the planning process. Therefore, in order to make sure that they have some opportunity to review the plans and have questions answered prior to the July 27 meeting, we have scheduled another public meeting for Monday, July 19 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. We will be providing notice of the meeting next week (July 8 or 9) using the same methods as we did for the meetings affecting the urban area: • Northwest Notes (with maps) • Meeting notice to all property owners within 2020 urban expansion area (with color maps) • Meeting notice to all land owners within 750 feet of affected area (with maps) • Press release • Cable television announcements • Information on the City web site (with maps) Council and Planning Commission members will receive copies of all of the written materials and maps in your packets on Friday, July 9. Please call me at 509-5401 if you have any questions. DATE: July 2, 1999 TO: Dwight D. JohnsoCity Manager FROM: Fred G. Moore, P E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: 1999 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT CITY PROJECT NO. 9001 In April, the City Council approved for construction the 1999 Street Reconstruction Program. This program involves streets generally between Sunset Trail and Ridgemount Avenue immediately westerly of Zachary Lane (County Road 73). The project also involves extensive storm sewer work to correct long standing drainage problems. Attached is a letter sent to property owners in the area this week informing them that because of delays the actual construction will not be undertaken until next spring. At the public hearing on the project, many comments were received concerning individual drainage issues in the area. These required extensive design considerations to reach a solution. Also, the area includes two MN Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) regulated wetlands. We just recently received the information from them that is necessary to complete the design. As stated in the letter, it is our opinion that adequate construction could not take place yet this year in order to have a suitable street for the residents during the winter months. The plans will be completed later this summer and we will schedule public meetings with the property owners in September. The project will then be bid and the assessment hearing held by the City Council this winter in order that construction could proceed immediately in the Spring. attachment cc: N:\pw\P.nginaring\PROJECTS\9001\Memos\1999StrRemn-Dwightdoc June 29, 1999 CITY OF PUMOUTR «PIN» «Name «Address» «City», -State- -Zip- SUBJECT: 1999 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT PROJECT STATUS INFORMATION CITY PROJECT NO. 9001 Dear «Name: This letter is to inform you of the status of the 1999 Street Reconstruction Project. As you may be aware, streets in your area were planned for reconstruction in the summer of 1999. These streets include Deerwood Lane, Forestview Lane and Balsam Lane from Ridgemount Avenue to Sunset Trail, and 31 Avenue between Deerwood Lane and Forestview Lane. The project also includes improving the drainage system that affects all properties in the drainage area. The drainage area encompasses an area roughly bounded by Highway 55 on the north, Pineview Lane on the west, Ridgemount Avenue on the south and Zachary Lane on the east. Unfortunately, the plans for this project have taken longer to complete than anticipated and as a result we have decided not to begin construction until next spring, 2000. By beginning the project next spring, we will be able to limit the construction disruption to one year rather than spreading it over two years. Due to erratic fall weather we cannot be sure the street will be paved this year if construction begins now. Based on the complexity of the project along with the large number of drainage issues, we felt that this was the best decision for all parties involved. We have recently received critical design information from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources about the DNR regulated wetlands located within the project. This information will allow us to complete the plans for the project. Once the plan set is complete we will hold a public meeting where residents will have a chance to view the plans. This public meeting has been tentatively scheduled for the first part of September, 1999. You will be notified once a date has been set. We anticipate receiving bids and holding the assessment hearing for the project this winter. Thank you for your patience throughout the design process. We will do our best to keep you informed of the project phases as they are occurring. If you have any questions, please contact me at 509-5538. Sincerely, Steven G. Bot Civil Engineer cc: Fred G.

The person said Minutes June 3, 1999 Page 2 7�? 3 c the program encourages homophobic and hate inspired views. Additional research will be done on this complaint. Laurie Ahrens reported that the City Council received a "thank you" letter from a resident who said that Plymouth police and fire personnel were very sensitive to the spiritual nature of a sweat lodge on her property. However, the resident has had subsequent conflicts with neighbors. Commissioners will make contact with the resident. The Commission reviewed police reports from incidents that occurred at Target Greatland. Commissioners asked that staff send a letter to Target commending them for being a good corporate citizen by immediately reporting the incidents to the police. Claudelle will prepare the next Human Rights Commission guest column on this topic. Intergenerational Dialogue Claudelle Carruthers reported on the cable TV taping of the intergenerational dialogue with Jim Gambone.

Next meeting: Thursday, July 1, 1999 7:00 p.m. Plymouth Charter Commission June 14, 1999 Minutes Present: Bob Sipkins, Mary McKee, Kapila Bobra, Larry Marofsky, Ellie Singer, Joy Tierney, Dave Pauba, Ty Bujold, Thomas Murphy Absent: Terry Donovan, Scott Martin, John Duntley, and Timothy Peterson. Lori Schwartz arrived at 7:45 a.m. Others: Commissioners—designee Jim Willis and Sam Garst. Assistant City Manager Laurie Ahrens, Deputy City Clerk Kurt Hoffman. Call to Order Bob Sipkins called the meeting to order at 7:30 a.m. in Public Safety Training Room, 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Approval of Minutes Motion was made by Ellie Singer, seconded by Dave Pauba, to approve the minutes of the May 5 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Special Election Issues Chairman Sipkins opened a discussion on the draft charter language prepared by City Attorney Knutson regarding mail ballot elections. Responding to questions, Assistant Manager Ahrens stated that mail ballot elections regarding issues may be held if a 90—day notice is given to the County Elections Division. She said that state law requires notice of an election a minimum of 45 days before the election. She said there is a provision for election day registration with a mail ballot election. Commissioners discussed the financial impact of a mail ballot election. Ellie Singer suggested that the Charter Commission should consider whether the mail ballot process is important enough to require through a charter amendment, irrespective of the additional cost. Larry Marofsky noted that cities are required by state law to provide outgoing and return postage. Assistant Manager Ahrens said the City may save money in a mail ballot by not having to pay for polling places, and by requiring fewer election judges, but there would be additional postage and printing costs. Sam Garst expressed concern that the mailing costs could be excessive. Ty Bujold noted that the issue may not be at all a matter of savings for the city, but whether a heavier turnout is desired, and if the city is willing to pay for that result. Plymouth Charter Commission June 14, 1999 3 -6 Page 2 + Jim Willis noted that this charter requirement would only apply to the City. School districts could continue holding special elections on financial issues with low turnout results. Lori Schwartz arrived at 7:45 a.m. Larry Marofsky said a primary consideration for the City Council would be whether an issue is so important that it needs to be put to voters as soon as possible or could be delayed until a regular election. Motion was made by Larry Marofsky, seconded by Mary McKee, to recommend that the Plymouth City Council adopt charter amendment language that special elections not held in conjunction with a general election to authorize the issuance of bonds or other obligations or the expenditure of funds shall be conducted by mailed ballot if allowed by law. Ellie Singer said she felt the language gives the Council options, including whether the costs of a special mail ballot election warrant a delay until a regular election. Ty Bujold expressed concern about locking the city into mandatory language regarding the procedure of special elections. Larry Marofsky responded that the Council could decide to hold off a special election until a regular election. Dave Pauba advised commissioners not to put a price tag on voter participation. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioners voted unanimously to pass over discussion of Saturday elections. Charter Commission Appointments Assistant Manager Ahrens introduced Jim Willis and Sam Garst, two newly appointed commissioners. She said that Judge Mabley has asked the City to re—advertise for three unfilled seats on the commission. Robert Sipkins announced his resignation from the Charter Commission. Larry Marofsky will act as chair for meetings until a formal chair is selected by the new commission. Commissioners discussed a recognition event for former, present, and incoming Charter Commissioners on Saturday, August 14, in conjunction with the Plymouth Historical Society History Fest at Parkers Lake. Mary McKee and Ellie Singer agreed to work with staff members on the event. Plymouth Charter Commission June 14, 1999 J Page 3 Ellie Singer, Robert Sipkins, Joy Tierney, Jon Speck, and Kapila Bobra all made comments of appreciation as they conclude their terms on the commission. Assistant Manager Ahrens announced that the City Council has suggested two additional topics to come before the Charter Commission for review and possible action: a proposed City Court and a proposed four—year term mayoral term. Larry Marofsky suggested that these issues could be considered in. September.. Motion was made by Mary McKee, seconded by Ellie Singer, to adjourn the meeting at 8:30 a.m. YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING JUNE 14, 1999 The meeting was called to order at about 7:20 p.m. by acting chair Jason Sisk. Also present were Nnennia Ejebe, Chau Pham, Mat Schultz, and Amelia Anderson. Most of the meeting was devoted to final preparations for the Youth Jam '99 event scheduled for June 18, 1999. Park and Recreation Director Eric Blank was present to help as was Jameson Johnson. Six bands are scheduled for about 20-25 minutes each. Arrangements were discussed for tents, food drop-offs, vendors, volunteers, clean-up, parking, securing the money, tickets, judging, communications, allocation of responsibilities and other items. Judy Johnson donated T-shirts for the group. Several donations have been received from businesses, and several more are expected. Nearly all of the posters and flyers have been distributed, and coverage by cable TV, the Sun Sailor, and other media has been arranged. The minutes of the June 7, 1999 were approved without correction. Judy Johnson discussed grant money available through the Communities in Collaboration Council. While the June deadline for applications has passed, another round of funding will begin in September. She noted that funds could be sought for next year's summer youth concert or other activities planned for next year. It was moved by Amelia Anderson and seconded by Jason Sisk that a grant application on behalf of the Youth Advisory Council be authorized. The motion carried unanimously. The council established the next two meetings for July 12, 1999 and August 16, 1999. Topics on July 12 will include a review of the Youth Jam '99 event and planning for activities during the next school year.

Motion by Cooper, second by Spector to complete an application for the Twin Lakes Study. Motion carried. V1. Project Reviews. A. SC99-10 Wickes Distribution Center, Brooklyn Center. Approval of a stormwater management plan for construction of a 23.5 acre officetwarehouse facility on a 40 acre site located at 4837 France Avenue North. Only the eastern half (upland portion) of the site will bed developed, resulting in creation of approximately 7.4 acres ofnew impervious surface. A complete project review application was received April 28, 1999. The site is located riparian (east shore) to Twin Lake. There appears to be a very small amount of floodplain fill associated with this project; however, there is more than adequate compensatory storage provided to offset any fill. The lowest proposed floor elevation of the new building satisfies the Commission's one -foot freeboard requirements. This site was reviewed by the Commission under SC97-09 for a wetland alteration project associated with a soil contamination cleanup. The current development proposal falls outside the wetland boundaries delineated and approved under the 1997 review. There will be no wetland impacts associated with the project. Stormwater will be collected from all paved surfaces (roof areas drain directly to adjacent wetland areas) and collected in an on-site stormwater pond. The Commission reviewed the pond design for conformance with the City's NURP requirements and determined that the proposed pond design meets those requirements. The pond discharges via a submerged outlet, which is satisfactory. Motion by Spector, second by Cooper directing the consultant to notify the City of Brooklyn Center that approval of project SC99-10 is hereby granted pending receipt in the office of the Commission's engineer of the following: BROOKLYN CENTER 9 BROOKLYN PARK • CRYSTAL 9 MAPLE GROVE • MINNEAPOLIS • NEW HOPE • OSSEO • PLYMOUTH • ROBBINSDALE Minutes May 13,1999 page 3 z- 3� 1.

Motion carried. B. SC99-11 Begin Oaks Golf Course, Plymouth. Approval of a wetland alteration and stormwater management plan for construction of a 65.3 acre golf course located in the southwest quadrant of Yucca Lane and 56 Avenue North. The proposed project involves construction of a nine hole golf course and clubhouse on a site riparian to Mud Lake. Approximately half of the site drains north to Mud Lake and is outside the Shingle Creek watershed. The clubhouse and parking lot will occupy a 2.4 acre portion of the northeast corner of the site and is within the Shingle Creek watershed. A complete project review application was received April 20,1999. The proposed project involves extensive grading, including several areas of wetland impact. The City of Plymouth is the WCA LGU. The site is riparian to the south shore of Mud Lake, DNR Protected Water 99W. It does not appear that any grading work will occur near the lakeshore; however, since an OHW has not been defined, the DNR should be notified of the project to ensure that proper permit procedures are followed. The clubhouse and parking lot drain to an on-site stormwater pond. No storm sewer is to be constructed to convey these flows. Instead, curb cuts and overcurb swales will guide stormwater to the pond, which has been designed to meet NURP standards and, thus, exceeds the Commission requirements for water quality treatment. The grading plan specifies a submerged outlet discharging south to an on-site wetland mitigation area; however, it is unclear from the plans where site drainage ultimately flows to under 100 year flood conditions. The 100 -year flood elevation in the pond is 999.3. The lowest proposed floor elevation is 1004.0, satisfying the Commission's freeboard requirements. Motion by Cooper, second by Peterson directing the consultant to notify the City of Plymouth that approval of project SC99-11 is hereby granted pending receipt in the office of the Commissions engineer of the following: Pond outlet structure (skimmer) design detail. 2. Clarification of ultimate receiving body for stormwater discharges from on-site pond. 3. Written correspondence advising DNR of grading work near Mud Lake, Protected Water 99W.

SC99-12 CAMAS, Maple Grove. Approval of a stormwater management plan for construction of a residential development on a site located north of Weaver Lake Road and approximately 1000 feet east of Norwood Lane. The proposed project involves construction of an 88.4 acre single and multifamily residential development on an undeveloped site. A complete project review application was received April 23, 1999. The southeastern and southwestem comers of the property will be developed into two very large regional ponds identified in the City's Stormwater Management Plan as SC -P46 and SC -P45. It appears that the planned location of SC -P46 has been changed. These ponds will ultimately drain in series from west to east into City Pond SC -P47, reviewed by the Commission under SC99-07. Discrepancies between the City's Stonnwater Plan and the grading plan for the 100 year flood elevations of the ponds will need to be clarified. The proposed lowest floor elevations around pond SC -P45 all satisfy the Commission's one -foot freeboard requirement. The NWI map shows several small wetlands within the site. The City is the WCA LGU. A limited erosion control plan has been submitted. The consultant recommended no action pending receipt of the following: 1. Stormwater calculations verifying 100 -year flood elevations on both stormwater ponds. 2. Written correspondence with the City of Maple Grove verifying agreement on regulatory flood elevations in regional ponds SC -P45 and SC -P46. 3. Outlet control structure (skimmer) details for both stormwater ponds. 4. A revised Erosion Control Plan specifying riprap at all storm sewer outfalls and temporary sediment barriers at catchbasin inlets for use during construction. 5. An Operations and Maintenance Plan which will maintain the outlet control structures and permanent pool depths in the stormwater treatment ponds. The plan shall be provided to the City in the form of a recordable agreement that assures the designated operations and maintenance procedures will be faithfully executed. This project will be considered at the Commission's June 10 meeting.

We were wondering: 1) It seems that the left lane merging at the same point as the center lane and Cty 6 merging traffic is an accident waiting to happen. Couldn't the left lane merging into right lane traffic be forced to merge further back? During the rush hours, a police officer encourging the merge to occur in a timely manner might be beneficial...? 2) For the eastbound traffic that is expecting to tum right onto Cty 6 at the intersection -- wouldn't opening up the shoulder to "right turn at Industrial Blvd. only" help with the line-up? Right now any traffic using the shoulder as a lane is being stopped -- I've noticed every day one - three cars and a police car (ticketing I assume) is blocking that lane -- causing even more "road rage" and traffic problems? Thank you for letting us voice our concerns...

Since moving to the area over six years ago, as I am sure you know, it has become more and more increasingly difficult to negotiate this intersection. Since the new high school has opened it is so difficult to enter on to 101 that I have found myself traveling through neighboring developments just to get out on to 101, thus increasing traffic in these residential areas. And know I'm not the only one. With the lower elevation it the road in front of Greenwood Elementary it makes it very difficult to judge the north bound track coming over this rise. Especially if they are traveling the allotted 50 MPH speed limit. One day in the morning during the time the students were traveling to school, I waited over 8 minutes to make a left turn from Medina Rd onto County Rd 101. Last week at 5:15 PM I had to wait 6 minutes at this intersection for a safe opportunity to cross. I have heard that there are plans in place to upgrade County Rd 101 but I also heard that these changes and upgrades would not take place until 2002. 1 also heard that the developer that is currently developing the property at the northwest corner of this intersection had proposed to add turn lanes at this intersection as part of the requirement to get the development approved. The problem is that the volume of traffic, in my opinion, is exceeding the "safety" tolerance even with turn lanes. The current proposals to change the golf course and Len Busch to residential areas, and with the chance of adding additional commercial buildings to the area already along Medina Road as well as across Highway 55 at Pheony Lane and Old Rockford Road will only compound this problem even more. I have no idea what can be done to help this problem but please take these concerns seriously and see if anything can be done. I know you may have to work with other government agencies because it involves county and state roads but it has become a major concern for myself and my neighbors. Maybe you should consider some type of stop gap until the upgrade to County Road 101 is completed. Things like maybe lowering the speed limit on this area of 101 to match the rest of the road or a more favorable idea for us would be to install temporary stop signs at this intersection with the idea of having either permanent signs or lights at the intersection on the upgrade to the road is complete. Whatever you can do has to be better than the current situation. During the school year I know the bus drivers trying to leave Greenwood Elementary in the afternoons had a very difficult time because of traffic from the high school. Also, as a side note, I really appreciate the way the city has taken the upper hand in developing the City Center area of Plymouth. It continues to become a benefit to the viability of the city as additional attractions are added to the area. My concern is again traffic and safety in getting to this area. As I see it the largest part of the city population in this area is south of Highway 55 while the area is north of Highway 55. 1 encourage my children to take advantage of the facilities available in the area but at the ages of 15 and 13 they are not old even to drive to the area. They are however responsible enough to either walk or bike to the area -- if they were allowed to. I sit at he intersections of Highway 55 & 101, 55 & County Rd 24, or 55 and Vicksburg and on any given day will see cars racing along at what appears to be much higher than the posted 55MPH speed limit and run through the lights as they try to beat the yellow. Most of the time the light has already turned red before they cross. I am not about to let my children try to cross Highway 55 at any time. So much to their disliking they have not been able to enough the show or Lifetime as much as they would like this summer. The city has done allot to make these facilities available to their citizens but I believe a large part of our younger population lose out at times because it's just not safe for them to get there. As I drive down Highway 3941 have noticed that there are two "walkways" built over the highway to allow the public safe access from one side to another. Has there been any consideration and/or discussions with the other government agencies that might need to be involved to maybe do they same in this situation? Not only could it benefit the businesses in the area but more importantly allow our younger, responsible population safe access to the area. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Bryant, James Deane, Mark Haggerty, Jim Carey, Marilynn Corcoran, David Dombrowski, Rosemary Franzese, and Joan Peters, Margie Ostlund, Michael Turnbull and Keith Greeninger cc: Plymouth City Council members, Maple Grove City Council members, Senior Naturalist Kathy Heidel, Director of Natural Resources Tom McDowell, Water Quality Manager John Barten and State Representative Richard Stanek Dear Hennepin Parks Superintendent, Board of Commissioners and staff: I am not surprised that you are pressing forward with your golf course "enterprise" at Eagle/Pike Park. 1 am however, disgusted with your decision. I don't know any of you well, and I don't know how someone entrusted with a nature park system can be in favor of destroying unspoiled land to build a toxic golf course. Regardless, with this project, you will go to your grave knowing that one of your "contributions" to society was another toxic golf course. If I were you, I would rather leave this earth knowing that I had helped create a use for Eagle/Pike Park that taught people about attractive, healthy, alternative landscaping. I would envision an active -use nature learning center that "promotes environmental stewardship"—the core of Hennepin Parks' mission statement. If I were you, I would envision many sample lawn/garden plots all uniquely landscaped with beautiful plants suitable for front and back yards. Some backyard concepts would contain adult exercise areas for climbing, stretching and weight lifting. would envision that these plots would be so well designed that people would want to come from all over the Twin Cities to get ideas so they could do away with their toxic 1960s -style "golf -course -lawn." I would envision that because people were not running their lawn mowers, air in the Twin Cities would eventually get cleaner, and childhood asthma cases would decline. I would envision that Hennepin Parks could earn a nationwide reputation for inspiring people to be more environmentally responsible. If I were you, I'd risk the embarrassment of changing my position and admit the golf course enterprise is a bad idea before I'd risk the likelihood that children who play on this golf course will have a six -times -greater chance of developing leukemia than children who do not come in close contact with lawn chemicals.1 If I were you, I'd stand up to other Hennepin Parks golf -course advocates and admit that this golf course enterprise is an irresponsible use of unspoiled land and does little to "promote environmental stewardship." You may not be aware that during a heat wave late this spring, our neighbors in the eastern states were asked to limit their lawn mowing because of its contribution to the hazardous ground -level ozone layer. Lawn mowers are huge polluters.2 Even if Hennepin Parks purchases expensive, low -pollution lawn tractors for all of its parks, having and adding acres and acres of mowed grass sends a message to our communities that golf -course lawns are environmentally acceptable. have observed Hennepin Parks operations for over 20 years. I remember the glossy paper publications it printed. I remember the trees and wildlife that once lived in French Park ---and the bald picnic areas that appeared. I remember the subsequent request for donations for new trees. If I were you, I'd rather go to my grave knowing I had not misused taxpayers money building mowed lawns and excessive structures. You, who society has entrusted with unspoiled land, what will you leave behind when you die? Another golf course! Is this your BEST idea for promoting environmental stewardship?

The TAB Programming Committee met prior to the TAB meeting and reviewed the proposal and developed a committee report. The report incorpo- rates much of the Council's proposal and the TAB's solicitation. The final report contains the following elements: Solicitation Period The solicitation will be for the period 2000 through 2004. Livable Communities Act The supplemental program will be a $3.0 million total program for the length of the solicitation period. Transit Set Aside Up to $15.0 million could be avail- TIF reports, grants deadline is Aug. 1 he TIF annual reports are to be in to the State Auditor by Aug. 1. If the reports are not submitted on time or are not complete a city could be subject to a withholding of its tax increment. Applications for the TIF grant program administered by the Depart- ment of Revenue are also due by Aug. 1. The 1999 Legislature increased program funding from $2.0 million to $6.0 million. Applications and instruc- tions for the grant program and the pooling authority should be mailed within the next two weeks to all cities that have a TIF district. It is possible that the deadline could be extended depending on the mailing date. able to assist in the development of the Hiawatha transit corridor. The funds could be used for another transit corridor or transit way if the Hiawatha project does not need the funds. Council -TAB Review The review will occur during the next few months and the group's recommen- dation will be forwarded to the TAB. As part of the annual TAB process a Council committee and the TAB will meet to have a policy discussion regarding the proposed program. The TAB modifications are generally consistent with a policy statement approved by the AMM board. The modifications also achieve the objec- tives of the Council's proposal of closer Council TAB coordination and funding if needed for the Hiawatha corridor.
