The unified budget includes budgets for the Council's four divisions — Regional Administra- tion, Transportation, Community Development and Environmental Services. The budget proposes to ex- pend $399,292,164 or 3.3 percent less than the 1998 amount of $412,976,005. The major high- lights of the budget are: ♦ Sewer service charges are decreasing for the second con- secutive year. The decrease from 1998 to 1999 is proposed to be $10.3 million or 10.2 percent. ♦ Pass-through loans and grants from the state and federal government are decreasing by $4.8 million. Programs proposed to receive decreases are: housing assis- tance payments ($1.8 million); Twin Cities Water Quality Initiative ($800,000); planning assistance grants ($200,000); transportation welfare to work grants . ($1,000,000); new right-of-way loans ($2,000,000); Planning Assistance Loan Program ($250,000). The losses are offset by $1.1 million in Livable Commu- nities grants and loans. ♦ The total property tax levy is $123.4 million or $4.8 million higher than 1998. ♦ Of the total property tax levy, $94.9 million or 77 percent is for transit operating and debt ser- vice. ♦ The Community Develop- ment Division budget proposes a 1999 budget that is $500,000 higher than the 1998 budget of $9,337,965. To complete its workload that includes a review of the amended comprehensive plans, the same staff level is recommended. ♦ 1999 Council priorities are to improve relationships with local governments, implement the Metro 2040 Regional Growth Plan, continue transit change and improvements, and support a competitive public sector. The Council intends to ap- prove the preliminary 1999 budget and tax levy Aug. 13. In September, the Council will conform to the Truth in Taxation process and submit its levy and preliminary budget to the county auditor and the MN Department of Revenue. A public hearing draft notice will be published in November and a budget hearing is sched- uled for Dec. 2. Final adoption of the budget and levy is slated for Dec. 16. Detailed discussion of the Council's budget will occur during the AMM policy committee process and at Board level. If you have any comments or need more information please contact Gene Ranieri at 651-215-4001. MINUTES OF THE QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY July 15, 1998 Pursuant to due call and notice, the quarterly meeting of the Suburban Rate Authority was held at the New Brighton Family Service Center in the New Brighton, Minnesota, on Wednesday, July 15, 1998, commencing at 4:00 p.m. 1. 01 CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order by ROLL CALL: Burnsville Circle Pines Columbia Heights Edina Fridley Shoreview Charlie Crichton Jim Keinath Kevin Hansen John Wallin John Flora Thomas Landwehr Also present was legal counsel for the SRA, James Strommen of Kennedy & Graven. It was determined that total SRA votes represented at the meeting did not constitute a quorum.. The group was declared to be a committee of the whole. All actions taken at this meeting are subject to ratification by a quorum of the board at the next quarterly meeting. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the previous quarterly meeting were approved on motion by Mr. Flora, seconded by Mr. Landwehr and unanimous vote. 4. REPORT OF TREASURER: Mr. Wallin reported on the financial status of the SRA as of June 30, 1998. (See. attached.) Mr. Strommen noted the financial condition of the SRA was better now that it had been for approximately two years in that following payment of claims presented at this meeting, the SRA would be fully current on its obligations. During the last two years, there had been an arrearage on the obligations. That is, all second half assessments for 1998 will be available for future SRA issues rather than committed to pay for past services as had been the case in •1996 and 1997 because of heavy SRA involvement in utility matters. Mr. Landwehr moved to approve the report of the treasurer. Mr. Crichton seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 5. COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Strommen reported that two members had given notices of withdrawal for 1999, the cities of Blaine and Medina. Mr. Strommen reported that he had been able to discuss the decision with Medina staff but not yet with the City of Blaine. Mr. Keinath offered to inquire further regarding Blaine's decision and report on a possible further communication with Blaine on its decision. JMS-146937 1 SU160-3 f__ 'y --7-� 6. US WEST GENERIC COST PROCEEDING: Mr. Strommen reported that this proceeding has been monitored only by the SRA. It has been repeatedly delayed due to the modifications to cost models and complexity of the case. The decision in this case will establish a cost of service for the "local loop" (fixed costs per customer) to business and residential customers, ultimately affecting rates. Mr. Strommen reported that a companion Universal Service case has established the cost of the local loop at approximately $18 per month. It is expected that the decision in this case will equal that approximate amount. Currently, US West residential customers pay $14.50 per month (without taxes and other charges) and business customers pay $43.50 per month (the required three to one ratio ). The SRA will continue to monitor this case only to preserve funds for other issues more directly affecting SRA ratepayers and member -governments. 7. 612 AREA CODE PROCEEDING: Mr. Strommen reported that he was invited to write an article for a national periodical on state and local telecommunications matters concerning the PUC decision to draw area code boundaries along municipal lines. A copy of the article was attached to the pre -quarterly meeting packet. It was noted that the transition period to establish the new area codes in the Twin Cities has begun and the municipal boundaries approach firmly established and apparently going smoothly. 8. US WEST "AFOR" PETITION: Mr. Strommen reported that the SRA has taken an active role in a petition by US West for Alternative Regulation (AFOR). Instead of starting a rate case (traditional rate of return regulation), US West has submitted a plan whereby basic rates are capped and optional features that are "competitive" may be raised during the five year plan. (See attached memorandum). Of direct relevance to municipal governments is a proposal by US West to allow line item pass through of franchise fees (which are not authorized under current law), local taxes (which are rare) and "other special charges" (which could be interpreted as most anything). The SRA has strongly objected to any interpretation of this that would allow cost recovery fees (e.g. ROW management) to be line items and is opposing the proposed language. Local governments should not be confronted with cost recovery fees appearing on residents' bill. There is currently a pending settlement proposal in which the SRA is now participating. The settlement may include a rate reduction of up to $1.00 a month for metro area residential customers, and a similar proportioned decrease for metro business customers. The line item pass through issue, however, is important to municipal governments. If acceptable provisions are included in this AFOR Plan, metro area residential and business customers will be assured of reasonable basic rates for the next five years. 9. ELECTRIC UNDERGROUNDING ISSUE: Mr. Strommen reported on the results to the electric undergrounding survey. Slightly over half of the SRA members responded (results attached). Mr. Strommen noted that many of the important issues in municipal undergrounding authority regarding electric utilities will be raised in connection with the NSP v. City of Oakdale appeal, including authority to require and who pays. Mr. Strommen is representing Oakdale in the case and will be able to inform SRA cities of any developments in that matter. Until that issue is resolved by the courts or in the 1999 legislative session, actions before the PUC may be premature. JMS-146937 2 SU160-3 It was also noted that an undergrounding ordinance raises issues of customer payment for the customer premises lines that would also be undergrounded. The law is clear that the utility may charge the customer for the cost of undergrounding to the premises. If a city requires undergrounding in the right-of-way, a premises charge would be imposed on the residents. The issue is further complicated by the needs of newer developing communities that are substantially undergrounded now, and older communities that are substantially overhead in utilities. Mr. Strommen also reported on the attempt of electric utilities to use the ROW rulemaking proceeding (see below) to establish rules eliminating municipal authority to require undergrounding of an electric utility. A PUC rule in the current ROW management proceeding would inevitably limit the current municipal authority over electric utilities in undergrounding. A motion was brought by Mr. Flora to authorize the SRA to comment in the ROW rulemaking proceeding, — opposing any such limitations in a primarily telecom proceeding. A limit of $2,500.00 was placed on the participation, subject to further authorization through the executive committee for necessary increases. Mr. Crichton seconded the motion which passed unanimously. 10. ROW RULEMAKING: Mr. Strommen reported on the ROW management rulemaking proceeding arising out of the 1997 legislation governing local government units ROW authority over telecoms and now including electric, gas and cable utilities. The SRA has not participated actively in the proceeding because of the League of Cities representation. As noted above, however, the SRA has authorized participation in matters that may affect authority electric and gas utilities. Mr. Strommen reported that there will be additional comments received by the PUC on proposed rules and the proceeding is expected to last into the early part of 1999 before final rules are issued. There was discussion regarding the Springsted cost recovery formula for municipalities in ROW management. Mr. Strommen noted that cost recovery issues are among the most hotly contested in the rulemaking proceeding. Cities may be challenged on management fees charged to the extent that they are substantially higher than what has been customary. Mr. Flora also explained the "degradation fee" consensus in the rulemaking proceeding rather than using a present value of shortened life of the ROW approach used by Springsted. The repair templates established by the city engineers is the basis for payment by the utilities by a degradation fee. The templates are available upon request and reflect a repair process that is acceptable to the local government interests in the ROW rulemaking proceeding. 11. SRA PROPOSED 1999 BUDGET: Mr. Strommen presented the 1999 SRA Budget as modified due to the noticed withdrawals of Blaine and Medina. The reduction in 1999 assessments and expenses was balanced. Mr. Landwehr moved to approve the Budget. Mr. Crichton seconded the motion which passed unanimously. 12. INSURANCE --TORT STATUTORY LIMIT WAIVER ISSUE: Mr. Wallin reported that the League Trust Insurance of the SRA required an election on waiver of tort statutory limits versus non -waiver of limits under the policy. After discussion, it was agreed that the interests of the SRA and lack of reasonable anticipation of lawsuits against it compelled an election not to waive the statutory limits. Mr. Keinath brought a motion to elect non -waiver. Mr. Landwehr seconded the motion which passed unanimously. JMS-146937 3 SU160-3 13. LOCATION AND TIME OF NEXT MEETING: Mr. Crichton offered to arrange for the October meeting to be held a Burnsville City Community Center. After some discussion regarding the merits of continuing the 4 p.m. start time, it was agreed to continue with a 4 p.m. start time as per previous Board decision. The October 21, 1998 quarterly meeting will be held at 4 p.m. at the Burnsville Community Center. 14. CLAIMS: Mr. Wallin presented a claim from the League of Trust for insurance coverage in an anticipated amount of $950.00 and the Kennedy & Graven bill for costs and fees of $9,327.70. The League Trust premium will be due prior to the October meeting in this approximate amount, and Mr. Wallin sought authority to pay the premium. Mr. Crichton moved to accept the claims and authorized Mr. Wallin to pay the premium. Mr. Hansen seconded the motion which -- - passed unanimously. - 15.

We know that the storm water conveyed into the pond behind our homes carries the duck weed from ponding areas upstream. The City has the ability to control the conveyance of the duck weed into the pond behind our properties. We have requested assistance from the City staff in this regard, but have received none. When I appeared before the Plymouth Forum two months ago I was asked to present my concern to the Environmental Commission. Ed Thode and I did. Those attending were concerned about water quality throughout the system, but clearly less concerned about the impact of duck weed infestation on property owners. There was no appreciation for the fact that the City's storm sewer system conveys duck weed from one pond to another. They were most concerned about the amount of phosphorous in the water, and the fact that duck weed assisted in its control We request that the City treat the pond upstream to control the duck weed contamination in the pond behind our properties. The city of Bloomington has such a program. I invite you to contact Mr. Larry Lee, Director of Community Development for the city [948-8947] to see how they assist their citizens with problems of this nature. As I mentioned when I appeared at- the Forum, we want to be a part of the solution of this problem. We want to work with City Council and staff to find a reasonable solution to what has become a perennial problem. We believe that chemical treatment may be an effective control measure. In any event, we believe is should be tried and evaluated. We will be pleased to appear before the City Council, either at the Forum or as part of the regular agenda to discuss this request. We request that immediate attention be given to our problem as half of the "summer" is gone. Thank you for your consideration. Yours truly, Jim Willis Barbara Willis cc: Ed and Barbara Thode Roy and Debra Edwards Bret and Amy Swenson Dwigbt Johnson, City Manager F U CA LL.
