Earth is just now being moved for the project, which is near the Mississippi River. "We moved to the suburbs to find space we could afford for our family," Bev Lillquist said Tuesday. "But we love the vitality of downtown: the shopping, eating, the 4 -mile walking loop along the river. We've been waiting for 10 years for that spot to be developed. We'll have the skyline out of one window and the river out of another." Even as it finds that the core cities are stabilizing, the Met Council shows less growth in some fast- growing fringe suburbs than the Census Bureau indicates. All in all, it's good news for the council's policymakers, who are determined to rein in sprawl and shore up the central cities. Asked whether the council's hopes might be influencing its numbers, Johnson said no. "These estimates are done with formulas using actual data," she said. "They're based mainly on housing units, on building permits, which we think are very reliable." Late last month the Census Bureau estimated that since the 1990 census, Minneapolis and St. Paul together have lost about 32,000 people -- about 17,000 in Minneapolis, down to 352,000, and 15,000 in St. Paul, down to 257,000. The Met Council disputes that to the tune of about 20,000 people between the two cities. That's not a gigantic difference in percentage terms, but it's a lot of human beings: It's equal, for instance, to the entire population of Golden Valley. dMSENIOR L SHOWCASE KIM. E U 1 6 0 Published Wednesday, July 28. 1999 Central cities stemming population loss, report says " David Peterson / Star Tribune startr6ttre.carn Minneapolis and St. Paul aren't losing population as quickly as the U.S. Census Bureau says they are, according to a report issued Tuesday by the Metropolitan Council. Beleted item And city leaders think Minneapolis is poised to rebound — and may already be rebounding — as Met Council Population commuting and' other aspects of suburban life make city living more attractive. estimates The council's annual estimate of the populations of cities in the seven - county Twin Cities area was much less pessimistic about 1990s population losses in the central cities than a U.S. Census Bureau report m.., issued just a month ago. "We use more local sources than they do," said council researcher Kathy Johnson, "and I don't think local sources show such a drastic drop" Bruo EispiN photo Interest from potential buyers is By local or federal estimates, the 1990s trend is not as optimistic for high �� �e� �o i t"ar• Minneapolis and St. Paul as the picture that emerged in the 1980s, when getting underway in Minneapolis. Minneapolis declined less than 1 percent and St. Paul grew slightly. But Minneapolis officials say that even the council's relatively rosy estimates do not fully reflect the grass-roots revival that they see around them. "We believe there's an influx that they are not taking full account of," said Philip Meininger, research director for the city's Planning Department. "We may still be losing population, but not very much, and we are seeing the beginnings of a reverse shift back from the suburbs. "Suburban empty -nest baby boomers are coming back into the city, where it's more convenient, closer to their jobs, they don't have to mow the grass or sit in congestion, and they're closer to cultural activities." Educators Bev and George Lillquist of Golden Valley are among the first buyers at Renaissance on the River, a townhouse development by the suburban developer Rottlund Homes. Earth is just now being moved for the project, which is near the Mississippi River. "We moved to the suburbs to find space we could afford for our family," Bev Lillquist said Tuesday. "But we love the vitality of downtown: the shopping, eating, the 4 -mile walking loop along the river. We've been waiting for 10 years for that spot to be developed. We'll have the skyline out of one window and the river out of another." Even as it finds that the core cities are stabilizing, the Met Council shows less growth in some fast- growing fringe suburbs than the Census Bureau indicates. All in all, it's good news for the council's policymakers, who are determined to rein in sprawl and shore up the central cities. Asked whether the council's hopes might be influencing its numbers, Johnson said no. "These estimates are done with formulas using actual data," she said. "They're based mainly on housing units, on building permits, which we think are very reliable." Late last month the Census Bureau estimated that since the 1990 census, Minneapolis and St. Paul together have lost about 32,000 people -- about 17,000 in Minneapolis, down to 352,000, and 15,000 in St. Paul, down to 257,000. The Met Council disputes that to the tune of about 20,000 people between the two cities. That's not a gigantic difference in percentage terms, but it's a lot of human beings: It's equal, for instance, to the entire population of Golden Valley. The council said it believes Minneapolis was at 360,000 as of April 1998, the cutoff date for Tuesday's report, compared to 368,000 in the 1990 census, for a drop of 2.1 percent. It puts St. Paul at 269,000, even closer to 1990's census figure of 272,000, for a drop of 1.3 percent. While city advocates see good news in the new estimates, it should be noted that they reflect a reversal from the cities' experience of the 1980s. Between 1980 and 1990, St. Paul's population grew slightly, while Minneapolis declined by fewer than 3,000 people, or less than 1 percent, according to actual census counts. Minneapolis's population has been declining since 1950. Before the 1980s resurgence, St. Paul's had fallen since 1960. More than pride The numbers are important not only as a gauge of a city's well-being but also because lots of financial assistance is based on them. Since 1995, for example, said Met Council spokeswoman Bonnie Kollodge, the state has been basing aid for city streets on the annual estimates instead of relying on beginning -of -the -decade census numbers. The council believes that the St. Paul suburb of Woodbury is the fastest-growing city in the seven - county metro area. But the council doesn't believe Woodbury is quite as big as the census.people say. The council says Woodbury added 18,770 souls since 1990, and stood at 38,845 as of April 1, 1998. The census people put Woodbury at 40,431, even though the census report's cutoff point was later in 1998. The same is true of the council's second -fastest-growing community, Lakeville, which it placed at 38,506, an increase of 13,652. The census bureau put Lakeville at 39,166. The Census Bureau relies significantly for its population estimates on information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about movements of taxpayers from one community to the next, the council's Johnson said. But lots of things that happen can take place below the radar, she said: Newly arrived immigrants haven't filed tax returns in the past and earn too little to file them now. People too poor to file returns move from one part of the United States to another. Students move around the country without coming to the notice of the IRS by filing tax returns. Still, she conceded that the decennial census has a way of producing surprises. And Minneapolis's Meininger agreed. "These numbers are all mushy," he said. 'There are no hard numbers. We are eagerly awaiting the next census, which isn't that far away." Minneapolis believes that its downtown population alone will rise from 17,000 to roughly 26,000 by the year 2010, he said, partly because of new townhouse developments. Eric Bundlie, a sales rep for Renaissance on the River, said interest is high. "We have holds on 40 of our 89 units, priced from the 230's to the upper 300's, and we've only been selling for 2'/ weeks," he said. For the moment, of course, the real growth is occurring at the fringe. In fact, the council says, the HEWbil Rom 10 fastest-growing suburbs in terms of raw numbers added, account for more than 40 percent of Met Council population the region's growth in the'90s. They include, in this order, Woodbury, Lakeville, Eagan, Plymouth, estimates Eden Prairie, Coon Rapids, Apple Valley, Maple Grove, Andover and Cottage Grove. The seven -county metro area as a whole numbered 2,544,353 last year, the council said, up 11 starubm can percent since 1990. 40mem 0 Copyright 1999 Star Tribune. All riyhta reserved. The hot spots for growth Second- and third -ring suburbs have seen the highest growth rates during the 1990s, with Woodbury, east of St Paul, the fastest-growing of all, according to the Metropolitan Council But growth in sheer numbers — the cross -hatched cities — is taking place at the urban fringe. k 10 miles t: 7 I E t r *1990 figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau; 1998 figures are Met Council estimates .

News Release For Immediate Release July 27, 1999 CITY 6OF PLYMOUTR (1-I b) Contact: Mike Goldstein, 612-509-5129 Citizens Public Safety Academy set for fall; applications being accepted The Plymouth Public Safety Department will sponsor the second annual Citizens Public Safety Academy this fall. The academy will offer people who live or work in Plymouth an opportunity to learn about public safety services. Students will acquire a better understanding of police, fire and auxiliary emergency services. They will also gain insight into the challenges facing these professions. The academy will feature: • Classroom instruction on methodologies, laws, equipment and technologies; • Field experience; and • Personal interaction with department members. The eleven week, thirty-three hour course will meet on Tuesday evenings from Sept. 14 through Nov. 30, 7 - 9 p.m. Class size is limited to 25-30 students. Interested persons, 18 years old or older, may call 612-509-5169 for an application. Applications must be postmarked by Sept. 1. The application process will include a criminal history check on each applicant. "The academy offers both public safety officials and community members the unique opportunity to share insights about Plymouth's public safety services. We do this in an interactive environment," said Sgt. Mike Goldstein. The first year's class gave the academy rave reviews. "I didn't know what to expect when I applied, but I'm overwhelmed with what we came away with as average citizens," said Plymouth resident Billie Goodman. Mary and Gordy Order also attended last year's academy. "Gordy and I both were privileged to have the opportunity to attend the first Plymouth Public Safety Academy. We feel that we are not only better citizens because of this academy, but we have a better understanding and insight as to the daily workings of our public safety officers," said Mary Order. The goal of the academy is to create a lasting partnership between public safety officers and the class participants, according to Goldstein. "If what the City had in mind was to get people involved with the public safety department when they started this group, they succeeded. We were like sponges. We wanted more. When we critiqued the program, the only thing we said we'd change would be to add more. We are all amazed with the knowledge that we came away with," Goodman said. The academy covers diverse topics, including fire operations, crime lab, emergency response team, investigations, auxiliary services and dispatch. If you have questions about the academy, call Sgt. Mike Goldstein, 509-5129. -30- PLYMOUTH A Beautiful Pface To Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (612) 509-5000 epw.-Ww www.ci.plymouth.mn.us (I-1 C) s CITY OF PLYMOUTF+ News Release For Immediate Release Contact: Rick Kline, 612-509-5121 Firefighters to Bring Fire Engines to Plymouth Parks Kids playing in Plymouth parks will have a chance to meet Plymouth Firefighters and see a fire truck during August.

A concrete sidewalk is also being constructed within the City of Wayzata from the Highway 12 bridge to the Luce Line Trail. Construction is scheduled to be completed by Sep- -tuber 15, 1999. The road contractor for the Ferndale Road project is S.M. Hentges and Sons, Inc. of T•-�rdan, MN. What Has Been Done Since the June 10 Project Update was mailed to residents in the Ferndale Road project area, the contractor has completed roadway excavation and concrete curb and gutter from 11s6 Avenue to the Highway 12 bridge. The roadway excavation has also been completed between 12`6 Avenue and County Road 6. All concrete retaining walls have been installed along with all relocation of telephone, electricity, and gas underground lines. What Needs To Be Done We expect the contractor to have completed all roadway excavation between 11`6 and 12`6 Avenues, including the installation of rock surface, during the week of August 2. Concrete curb and gutter will then be installed on the portion of roadway between. 11c6 Avenue and Ccs:: --y Road 6.

The budget plans to spend $153.5 million in 2000 as compared to $157.8 million in 1999. Major reductions are proposed in labor costs and utilities. The labor costs will be accomplished by attrition, early retirement or volun- tary separation. Projected total budgeted staff for 2000 is 833 compared to 912 in 1999 and 754 in 2001. The MCES is funded by seven revenue sources. The major sources are municipal water charges, sewer availability charges (SAC), and industrial charges. The 2000 budget proposes a 4.2 percent reduction in municipal water charges. Transfers from SAC and the general budget reserve will offset the decreases in the charges. The MCES' budget projections for the period 2001 to 2005 indicate a further reduction in charges (1.7 percent) in 2001 but annual in- crease from 2002 to 2005. By 2005, the budget projects a municipal charge of $140.6 million or approximately 13 percent over the 2000 total charge. The Council is scheduled to give preliminary approval to the budget in August and adopt the final budget in December 1999. Citizens needed for advisory boards The Metropolitan Council has eight citizen advisory commit- tees and commissions that assist the Council by reviewing and suggesting policies and program guidelines. Four of the committees have appointments that need to be completed by the end of the year. The Council will shortly advertise for applicants for positions on the Parks and Open Space Commis- sion, the Housing and Redevelop- ment Authority (H RA) Advisory Committee, the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB), and the Transit Providers Advisory Commit- tee (TPAC). Many of the appointments are by Council districts while some require a representative of impacted popu- lations or industries. The news release and announce- ments should provide details re- garding the criteria for appointment. If you need additional information regarding the appointment process please call Gene Ranieri at (651- 215-4001). (I -2a) DATE: July 27, 1999 TO: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager FROM: Craig C.

Service Revisions: Based on the above information and results of a customer survey conducted on March 3, 1999, it is necessary to make some service revisions beginning September 20, 1999. These revisions are necessary to increase the levels of service frequency and decrease overcrowding conditions on certain routes. The additional costs for this service have been included in the approved Plymouth Metrolink Budget for calendar year 1999 and are within the scope of the current contracts with the service providers. Attached is a one page summary of service revisions that will be implemented on September 20, 1999. This data was presented to the Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit (PACT) at last night's meeting, Wednesday, July 28, 1999, and received very favorably by that committee. It was recommended for implementation in September. This memo is for informational purposes only as no Council action is necessary for this additional service. All of the additional service will be on existing routes and should be well received as we will not be entering any new neighborhoods. Attached also are bound copies for you and Fred of the Plymouth Metrolink 1999 Customer Survey conducted March 3, 1999. Additional copies have been provided for distribution to Laurie Ahrens, Assistant City Manager, as well as the Mayor and members of the City Council.

I have been a baseball coach for four years for teams my kids have been on, as well as a basketball coach and soccer coach. Last week, on Tuesday, July 20th we had to play a baseball game at LaCompte 2. This was a rain or shine, play unless there is lighting, so we can finish the season game. If you are familiar with LaCompte Fields you will know there is about 12 spots to park at the field. They were all full. So I parked at the upper lot by LaCompte 2 and walked down the path. Since it was driving rain, and the path was slippery, I fell and landed on my left elbow which in tum screwed up my left shoulder. I believe I have tom my rotator cuff, I can't do anything with my left arm. Who do I contact to get my medical payments and my insurance company reimbursed for what will probably be a year of rehab and misery? Thank you for your help.

Jim Fahnhorst 2365 Brockton Lane Plymouth, 55447 (612) 475-3746 (I --6b) July 21, 1999 Dwight Johnson City Manager City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Dwight: The Plymouth Civic League is requesting the City of Plymouth for an increased donation in support of Music in Plymouth 2000. Below is the background to this request. The cost of this event has greatly increased due to the tremendous growth in attendance and the upgrades made to the entertainment and fireworks. The event is now regarded as the premier community event in the Northwest suburbs. The "Music in Plymouth " event provides a sense of community by bringing together every segment of Plymouth. Corporate volunteers work side by side with the city staff, community organizations, and individual citizens to make this event happen. Attendees get to interact with the police, the fire department, the city staff, and the city council. The long-term benefits to Plymouth of this cooperative effort are great. The Plymouth Civic League had operated with small deficits in 1997 and 1998. The 1999 event will show a surplus of around $5,000. This surplus still causes concern because of the tremendous efforts directed to fundraising. In 1999 the PCL attempted to generate additional revenues through an expanded family membership drive, increased participation in the Plymouth Fun Run, and the new raffle for the ride on the Goodyear Blimp; many hours of effort were put into these activities and in total, they raised about $5,000. The corporate donations reached an all-time high in 1999. We felt like we hit home runs on all of the fund raising efforts and yet only achieved a relatively small surplus. A major concern for next year is the reliance on three major corporate donors that each contributed $5,000 in 1999. Early indications are that at least two are going to lower their donations to $1,000. The Plymouth Civic League is dedicated to the long-term financial health of the event. The direction from the Board is to determine if the funding level for next year can reasonably match that of 1999. If there are serious questions in achieving the needed funds, the Board will take a hard look at expenses. The major controllable expenses come in the following order: the Minnesota Orchestra, fireworks, and the preliminary musical entertainment. The event was founded to bring the Minnesota Orchestra to Plymouth and this is not a consideration for a reduction. The fireworks could be cut back and save $5,000. The preliminary music entertainment could be cut back and save $3,000. With these cuts, the event could run in the black in 2000. The Board's preference is to maintain the wonderful quality of this event. However, the Board's first responsibility is to protect the financial health of this event. The Plymouth Civic League requests the donation from the City of Plymouth be in the amount of $25,000 for the year 2000. In this way the Board anticipates the same quality of event for Music in Plymouth as in past years. The Plymouth Civic League is very grateful for the long history of support from the City of Plymouth. I would be happy to respond in person to any questions you, the Council or staff mayhav 6 in advance for your consideration of this request.' _ Sincerely, Kris Finance Chair cc: Mayor Joy Tierney July 26, 1999 Tom Johnson, P.E. Transportation Planning Engineer HENNEPIN COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DEPT. 1600 Prairie Drive Medina, MN 55340-5421 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR INTERSECTION Dear Mr. Johnson: (1-6c) CITY OF PLYMOUTR ANALYSIS OF CSAH 24/MEDINA ROAD Approximately one year ago your department, per my request, conducted an analysis at the intersection of CSAH 24 and Medina Road to determine if warrants are met for a traffic signal or an "all -way" stop sign installation. The commercial development, Plymouth Station, located northeast of this intersection continues to mature as does the industrial development northwest of the intersection. Additional traffic is being generated in this area. Based on these increased levels of traffic within the area as well as the standard annual increase of regional traffic, I am requesting that you analyze the CSAH 24/Medina Road intersection to see if warrants are now met for a traffic signal or an "all -way" stop sign installation. I would like to request that this analysis take place some time during the month of September after school has commenced. Thank you for your attention to this request and please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E. City Engineer cc: ®PM.-MWW Fred G.

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). 520 Lafayette Rd. N.; St. Paul, MN 55155-4194; (651) 296-6300 (Voice); (651) 282-5332 (TTY) Regional Offices: Duluth - Brainerd - Detroit Lakes - Marshall - Rochester Equal Opportunity Employer - Printed on recycled paper containing at least 20% fibers from paper recycled by consumers. Mr. Steve Hanon Page Two 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 MPGA 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) 297-8318. Please reference the above LEAK # in all correspondence.
