With routes in place and ridership steadily growing, suburban transit services are sinking millions of dollars into bus amenities to lure more commuters out of their freeway -clogging cars. A $5 million, copper -roofed transit station with parking for 500 cars and 15 acres for a hotel, housing and retail, is going up in EdenPrairie. Apple Valley soon will have a $1 million bus station surrounded by 900 parking stalls that will serve park -and -riders by day and multiplex Photo ;offW'heeUr theater patrons by night. commuters board an express bus at the Burnsville Transit Station. Maple Grove, having secured special ramp and freeway shoulder lanes for its buses, is jockeying for federal funding to build a $6 million transit hub with parking for 900. "Having a series of hubs like this that create high-level visibility for bus service, as well as a specific location where everybody knows they can go to get the bus, is an important component in bringing people over," said Rick Kelley, Apple Valley community development director. The bus -building boom is the second chapter in the story of 12 second -ring suburbs that in the mid-1980s pulled their transit property taxes and "opted out" of the metro area's central bus system to start their own service. Because the suburban systems have been successful at attracting ridership, the next step for them is to build stations to offer riders better service, said Natalio Diaz, director of transportation planning for the Metropolitan Council. The council operates the region's central bus system, now known as Metro Transit, which is also making similar investments in the suburbs it continues to serve. "You don't want to go overboard and build transit hubs all over the world," Diaz said. "But transit services in the suburbs have to be deployed in a slightly different way than in central cities. You have to rely on large collection points." http://webserv1.... /article?thisSlug=BUS12&date=12-Jul-98&word=prairie&word=ede 7/13/98 Million -dollar bus stations aim to lure more suburban riders Page 2 of 4 In 1997, Metro Transit opened a hub at Northtown Mall in Blaine , and it is now building a park-and-ride lot in Woodbury and doubling the size of a 600 -spot park-and-ride lot at Foley Blvd. off Hwy. 610 in Coon Rapids. Equity issues Despite the increasing ridership and apparent vigor of the suburban systems, there's lingering debate about whether it's good or bad for the Twin Cities area to have separate bus systems. Some predicted that the loss of transit -dedicated suburban property taxes from the "opt -out" communities would bankrupt the central system. That has not happened, Met Council officials say. But issues of equity between the suburban and the central system remain: Transit property taxes generated by the 12 suburban transit communities doubled in five years (from $6 million in 1992 to $12.6 million in 1997), while transit property tax proceeds for the region as a whole have increased at a slower rate, from $62.1 million in 1992 to $70.6 million in 1997, according to the Met Council. In the past, this resulted in the suburban systems adding service when Metro Transit was drastically cutting back. This difference eased in the last two years when Metro Transit received additional state money to increase service by 3 percent. The use of federal and regional funds to build the suburban transit stations has raised questions. The suburban systems argue that although they have withdrawn 88 percent of their tax revenues from the central system, they still contribute 12 percent toward the larger system and should be eligible for the federal and regional capital funds available to the central system. The view from the central system is that the suburbs sought a divorce to use their money as they wished. By tapping into the capital funds of the central system, they are getting the benefits of both the marriage and the divorce, said Aaron Isaacs, Metro Transit manager of public facilities. A third equity issue grows from the fact that it costs more to carry passengers from the suburbs to the central cities because the bus trips are longer. Metro Transit has been forced by belt - tightening to cut urban routes that were more cost efficient than some routes the suburban systems are operating. Differing views These factors have made state Rep. Myron Orfield, DFL - Minneapolis, a loud critic of the suburban systems. http://webserv1.... /article?thisSlug=BUS12&date=12-Jul-98&word=prairie&word=ede 7/13/98 Million -dollar bus stations aim to lure more suburban riders Page 3 of 4 The highest responsibility of the bus system is to provide people who don't have cars with a way to get to work, Orfield said. The suburban systems have instead taken "a huge chunk of the region's tax base" to bring white-collar workers who have cars to downtown Minneapolis, Orfield said. "It's been a disaster." But Carolyn Rodriguez, the former state representative from Apple Valley who pushed the legislation that cut the suburbs loose from Metro Transit's predecessor -- the old MTC -- has been pleased by the results. "It just seemed to me that that was the only way of forcing transportation out to the outlying suburbs," Rodriguez said. "I don't think that we would have a lot of the transportation in the outlying suburbs that we have today had it not been passed." Steady growth Today, separate suburban transit entities provide commuter service to downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, commuter service to other suburbs, reverse commuter service for central city residents and community circulation service. In 1997 suburban rides totaled 2.3 million (compared with 64.1 million on Metro Transit) and accounted for 3.6 percent of the bus rides in the Twin Cities area -- up from 2.3 percent in 1992. The largest bus operator, Minnesota Valley Transit, serving Rosemount, Apple Valley, Eagan, Prior Lake, Burnsville and Savage, carried 1.3 million people last year and reported an annual ridership growth rate of 11 percent. Minnesota Valley opened a Burnsville Transit Station at a cost of $2.5 million in 1995. Billed as "the flagship for suburban transit," the station on Hwy. 13 just off Interstate Hwy. 35W offers ample free parking, a comfortable waiting area, restrooms, electronic route screens, and a direct entrance onto 1-35W. Three years later, officials say ridership from the station has grown 36 percent from 1,556 per day in 1995 to 2,120 per day now. A second deck has been added to the parking lot to keep up with park-and-ride demand. "I think we have provided the conveniences and the services that people are looking for and as as result we have seen the growth," said Beverley Miller, Minnesota Valley's executive director. Following the leader By the end of November, Southwest Metro Transit, which serves http://webserv1.... /article?thisSlug= BUS 12&date=12-Jul-98&word=prairie&word=ede 7/13/98 Million -dollar bus stations aim to lure more suburban riders Page 4 of 4 EdenPrairie, Chaska and Chanhassen, will copy its Burnsville role model. With a bigger, more architecturally significant and twice as expensive transit station, it will start with 500 parking spaces with plans to increase that to 1,000 in the next few years. Going up on the corner of Hwy. 5 and Prairie Center Drive, the station, with its copper roof, will anchor 15 acres of development envisioned as EdenPrairie's future downtown. The hope is for office, restaurant and housing construction, said Southwest Metro executive director Len Simich. Southwest Metro ridership is growing steadily, from 301,000 in 1992 to 454,000 last year. The service expects to provide 503,000 rides this year. The expectation is that the new station will "make it a lot handier and more convenient for people to use transit. It's going to be a natural draw," Simich said. Maple Grove Maple Grove's bid for federal and regional funding has not yet been approved. The city is eager to offer its commuters a central spot to park, said Mike Opatz, city transportation coordinator. "We have nine neighborhood park-and-ride lots .... As our city grows, to complement the system, it would be nice to have one main park-and-ride lot like a transit hub," Opatz said. With steady 6 to 8 percent increases in ridership each year, the Maple Grove Transit System provided 310,000 bus rides last year and expects to provide 318,000 this year. "More and more people are getting fed up with the hassles of driving downtown and the cost of parking," Opatz said. Sf�tflbllllt.00111 who © Copyright 1998 Star Tribune.

The Weed and Seed strategy must include the following four elements: 1) law enforcement, 2) community policing, 3) prevention. intervention and treatment, and 4) rehabilitation and restoration. The 1998 Legislature appropriated S200,000 for one year for two new sites; at least 50% of the funds must be for a site outside the seven county metropolitan area. Cities are eligible to apply for these funds; applications usually come from a city department, mayor's office or police department. Attached please find an application for these funds. We have extended the deadline for accepting applications. Applications are due to the Office of the Attorney General by Monday, August 10, 1998.

Purpose of Funds: The Weed and Seed Strategy has two goals: to "weed out" violent crime, drug use, gang activity and nuisance crimes from targeted high crime or problem areas, and to prevent crime from recurring by '`seeding" the area with a wide range of programs and services from both public and private entities. Weed and Seed strategies will be site specific, based upon the challenges faced by the neighborhood. Program Requirements: All Weed and Seed strategies must contain the following four elements: 1) law enforcement; 2) community policing; 3) prevention. intervention and treatment; and 4) revitalization and restoration. Funding may be used to coordinated existing projects, for start up projects. to expand existing services or to continue other programs in the targeted area. These funds cannot supplant or replace funds that are currently committed for a project. To be most effective, projects will: • View Weed and Seed as a strategy rather than a funding stream. Successful sites will bring many more resources in work and funds to the strategy than the strategy will provide. • Include a broad cross section of affected parties in the entire process, including citizens, business owners, government leaders, non -profits. church leaders. • Have a strong commitment to community -oriented policing. • Have strong ties between community groups and the police department. • Target neighborhoods with specific boundaries. • Involve community groups, non -profits, businesses and governments already at work in the target area. Total available funding: $200,000 for one year; at least 50% of the funds must be awarded to sites outside the seven county metro area, pursuant to Laws of Minnesota, 1998, Chapter 327. Estimated size of awards: $75,000 to $125,000 per site for one year. For more information or technical assistance: Call Rowzat Shipchandler, Weed and Seed Grants Coordinator, Office of the Attorney General: (612) 297-4038. Submit your completed application and five copies no later than Monday August 10, 1998 (please note that the deadline has been extended) to Weed and Seed Applications, 525 Park Street Suite 500, St. Paul, MN 55103. WEED AND SEED STRATEGY DESCRIPTION Weed and Seed began in 1992 as a federal program designed to assist cities address issues of neighborhood decay in areas of the country hard hit by violence. In 1996, Minnesota established its own Weed and Seed Initiative -- the first in the country to be state funded. With an appropriation of $605.800. four sites were awarded funding: Moorhead's Greenwood Mobile Home Park, Duluth Central Hillside neighborhood, Minneapolis' Richard Green Central Park School neighborhood, and St. Paul's Railroad Island. In addition to receiving state funding, all four sites were awarded official federal recognition and are receiving federal funds ranging from $10,000 to $250.000 per year for up to three years. In 1997, the Minnesota Legislature added $2.25 million to expand to eleven sites around the state. Of these, nine applied for and received federal Official Recognition, and will be receiving between $50,000 and $200,000 each in federal funds annually for up to three years. Sites are selected by a committee comprised of the Commissioner of Public Safety, and representatives from the Office of the Attorney General, Chiefs of Police Association, Sheriffs Association and the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association. The Office of the Attorney General manages the program. and the Department of Public Safety provides fiscal oversight. (M.S. § 299A.62) The Minnesota Legislature appropriated $200,000 for the year beginning July 1, 1998 for this Initiative. Grants will be awarded for one year, with a two to three month planning process, and a nine to ten month implementation process. There are no guarantees for future state funding, and selected sites should include in their strategy a plan for continuing the work of the Weed and Seed strategy upon termination of state funding. Successful state-fuhded Weed and Seed sites are strongly encouraged to apply for federal recognition and the accompanying federal grants. The Office of the Attorney General will assist in preparing federal applications as needed. The Weed and Seed Strategy is community-based. and a steering committee comprised of a cross section of community members and others working in the project site will work together to develop the strategy for the site. This strategy must include all four components of Weed and Seed: 1) law enforcement; 2) community policing; 3) prevention, intervention and treatment; and 4) revitalization and restoration. The strategy is submitted to the Office of the Attorney General at the end of the planning process. and becomes the basis for the federal application for official recognition. The Manager of the Weed and Seed Initiative is available as a resource for developing individual strategies, as well as for bringing outside assistance to sites individually and collectively. Successful applicants will be encouraged to share information and strategies with other sites, and regular Weed and Seed information sharing sessions are planned with other sites. Successful Weed and Seed sites will develop a plan that encompasses existing efforts in the community, and complements. rather than competes with, these efforts. It is expected that sites will work closely and collaboratively with existing work being done in the site, and will not duplicate existing services or projects.

In Minnesota, the Legislature is beginning to notice the issue. A special legislative task force, chaired by Rep. Bill Hiity and Sen. Steve Kelley, will convene for the second time on July 14 to discuss the impact of Year 2000 compliance issues on the state and on local governments in Minnesota. The League needs your city's input so we can accu- rately define the scope of concerns facing cities. If your city has identified Y2K prob- lems and the estimated cost of conversions and fixes, please forward that information to us as soon as possible. Although your city may not have deter- mined the final costs necessary to convert or fix computers or embedded systems, please provide cost estimates to help us identify the extent of the financial impact on cities. Next week's meeting will focus on issues related to the electric energy industry in their conversion to Year 2000. How- ever, task force deliberations will also give local officials an opportunity to highlight prob- lems cities face. League of Minnesota Cities staff is pre- paring testimony for the hearing to highlight issues of concern to cities, including unique problems with converting to Y2K compli- ant systems as well as local government liability protection for potential problems. At the first task force meet- ing held May 18, several legis- lators raised questions about what local impacts could be expected as well as the extent of costs that are likely to be incurred. Some cities have initiated Year 2000 conversion efforts; however, the League has not surveyed member cities or attempted to gather compre- hensive information about the scope and cost of Year 2000 conversion for cities. Send the League information about your city's Y2K issues If your city has begun address- ing Year 2000 issues or has quantified the cost of conver- sion for municipal operations, please send the League infor- mation so we may share these impacts with the Legislature. In addition, if your city has identi- fied any unique conversion issues that should be shared with the broader municipal government community, please identify those for us. Send, fax or e-mail infor- mation to: Ann Higgins at (612) 215-4114/fax or ahiggins@ . Imnc.org. As we gather responses from our members, the League will make every attempt to share the information and observations. With your help, we hope to assist communities directly in dealing with issues as well as gather data that will . . help secure favorable legislation provide resources and limits on - liability in dealing with Year 2000 problems. (I -2a) Plymouth Human Rights Commission July 9, 1998 Minutes Present: Ruth Ruffin, Akash Srisvastava, Jeff Richards, Mitzi Heath, Rebecca Wheeler, Gordon Ortler, and City Clerk Laurie Ahrens Excused: Laurie Levi Absent: Jessica Timman, Art Johnson, Nathan Michael Call to Order Ruth Ruffin called the meeting to order at 7:20 p.m. Minutes The minutes of the May 7 meeting were reviewed and approved. Diversity Training Mitzi Heath reported that the Diversity Committee had met and decided that diversity training for Commission members would be a good first step. Laurie Ahrens reported that the City is working with Interrace to conduct an 8 -hour diversity training session for police officers. To prepare for the presentation, Interrace will conduct focus group sessions to evaluate needs and direction for the session. Members of the Human Rights Commission are invited to participate in the focus group on Thursday, July 16, at 5 p.m. in the Public Safety Training Room. Laurie Ahrens also reported that the City's Human Resources Manager is working on preparing a diversity session for all other staff. Ruth Ruffin, Gordon Ortler, and Mitzi Heath offered to attend a meeting with city staff to provide input for planning this training session. Police Ride -a -long Jeff Richards and Mitzi Heath expressed interest in going on a police ride -a -long. Staff will arrange through the police department. Community Contacts Ruth Ruffin reported on a community contact that she made regarding a harassment bias crime. Mitzi Heath reported on two community contacts that she made regarding a tenant lease situation and taxi service issue. The individual with the taxi service issue has requested a letter from the City, which staff was directed to prepare. Ruth Ruffin suggested that the Commission needs a point person to whom all community contacts could be directed. Following discussion, Mitzi Heath agreed to serve as the point person for community contacts with assistance of one additional member who will rotate each month. Akash Srisvastava expressed interest in assisting Minutes July 9, 1998 Page 2 for the first month and he was selected. Staff was requested to research business cards and brochures for use in community contacts. Report on Race Unity Discussion Mitzi Heath reported on the Race Unity discussion she attended at the Plymouth Library on June 16 which was sponsored by Baha'is of Plymouth. She applauded the Baha'is for sponsoring this event and encouraged the Human Rights Commission to do similar events to increase community awareness of human rights issues and the Commission. Roster Anna Richey is leaving the country and has submitted her resignation. Jackie Fraedrich has requested a leave of absence. It was noted that the terms of the four student members will expire August 31. Discussion was held on the appointment process. Several Commissioners would like to have a Commission member participate with the City Council in the interview process. Akash Srisvastava encouraged the City to consider high school sophomores or juniors so that they will have more than a one-year term. Resolution to City Council Motion was made by Mitzi Heath, seconded by Gordon Ortler, to adopt a resolution affirming and committing to activities to improve the human relations climate in Plymouth. The resolution was adopted by unanimous vote. Gordon Ortler, Akash Srisvastava, and Rebecca Wheeler will present the resolution to the City Council on August 5. Other Human Rights Commissions Jeff Richards submitted a list of contact phone numbers and meeting dates for various human rights commissions. Several Commissioners had indicated an interest in attending a human rights commission meeting of another city. Staff will distribute the list of meeting times to all members, and Commissioners are encouraged to individually attend a meeting in order to report back to the full commission. Ruth Ruffin adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Next meeting: Thursday, August 6,1998 7:00 p.m. (I -3a) DATE: July 15, 1998 TO: Mayor and City Coucil FROM: Anne Hurlburt, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Northwest Plymouth Planning Options At its June 30 workshop meeting, the Planning Commission decided to hold a formal public hearing on the planning options for northwest Plymouth prior to making its recommendation to the City Council. On July 14, the Planning Commission chose 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 27, 1998 as the date for the hearing. The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers and will be televised. This will be a special meeting to allow the Commission to focus on this one topic. It will be officially noticed so that City Council members may all attend if you wish. We will be publicizing the hearing in a new issue of Northwest Notes to be mailed three to four weeks before the hearing. We will also send a press release to the Sun Sailor, and include an announcement in the August Plymouth News which will be delivered to every address in the City during the first week of August. Please call me at 509-5401 if you have any questions. Thank you. I -rub July 14, 1997 CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Betty Begin 5635 Vicksburg Lane North Plymouth, MN 55446 Dear Mrs. Begin: Thank you for your letter concerning plannint for northwest Plymouth. Your letter will be shared with the Planning Commission and City Council. You may be interested to note that the conceptual land use plans that are part of the three planning options under consideration for the northwest area do incorporate an idea of "estate" development for parts of the area. This would be the case even if it were decided to allow urbanization in all or part of the area. The Partial Urban Expansion and Complete Urban Expansion options both show areas of "large lot residential" neighborhoods that would not be provided with sewer and water. This would encourage retaining the character of existing rural neighborhoods. It seems that you had a very fortunate experience with your septic system. Much of northwest Plymouth has soils that are not suitable for on-site sewage disposal systems. And, we have found that many existing septic systems in the area are failing based on today's standards. We will not be recommending that the City encourage many new such systems, no matter which planning option is ultimately chosen. Again, thank you for your comments. Sincerely, Anne W.

Community Development Department 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Gentlemen: 4 My husband and I have been unable to attend any of your public meetings and workshops. However, we are very interested in what goes on in the Northwest territory of Plymouth. We would like to see the land utilized for "Rural Estates." Jerome and I lived at 12615 Rockford Road from 1960 through 1981. The Hennepin County Park Department bought our home and property for Park Headquarters. Our house had (18) rooms and (7) bathrooms. We raised twelve (12) children in that house and we lived there for twenty-one years! With Jerome and I, the twelve kids and two live in maids we had 16 people in our home. We had on aerated septic system that worked uerfecd . We never had to have our tanks pumped. We had about 1000 feet of drainfield across our back yard, which resulted in a wonderful garden and orchard! I washed at least 6 to 10 tubs of laundry, 6 days a week. The showers and baths for 16 people, and the dishwasher going at least 3 times a day, meant we used a LOT of water, and had a LOT of sewage. In spite of all this use, we NEVER had any sewer or water problems! We had our own well. Community Development Department PAGE TWO July 1998 What I'm trying to say is this: It is NOT necessary to have City sewer and water in a rural area. Houses don't have to be 50 feet apart, or a stones throw away from each other. The more houses you have packed into an area, the more schools you will need and all the other community services you will need (Police, Fire etc.) i Please allow us a little breathing room. It is not necessary to have 5, 10 or 20 acres. If someone wants a swimming pool, a,tennis or basketball court, or a nice garden, 3 or 4 acres is all they need. A "Rural Estate." I would suggest you go to Medina and see the Northridge Farms off of County Road 24. These beautiful homes have their own septic systems and wells, and they are on 3 acre parcels, or so. With the technology today, it should be no problem to have private sewer systems. We had it 30 years ago, or more, and it worked just fine! Please consider planning for "Rural Estates" in the Northwest Territory of Plymouth. Thank you, very much, for your time and effort and consideration of this proposal for our City. Sincerely, s Betty A. Begin (I -4b) July 14, 1998 CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Sheryl McRoberts 2345 W Medicine Lake Drive Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Sheryl: I am in receipt of your letter to Mayor Tierney regarding your experiences at LifeTime Fitness. The confusion at the front desk regarding access to the club has been an ongoing issue which we have been discussing with LifeTime for some time. I thought we had settled it, but evidently, based on your experience, we still have work to do. The City Council will be meeting soon to do a one year review with LifeTime regarding the joint venture. The issues that you raise in your letter will be discussed at that time. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Sincerely, Eric J.

As you probably know, the City of Plymouth adopts many rules and regulations contained both in the Zoning Ordinance and City Code that establish minimum standards which govern in part, the location and use of structures and land. Once notified of a potential violation, our code enforcement personnel are authorized and directed to inspect properties in order to determine that validity of the complaint. The names of individuals who register such complaints concerning these properties are classified as confidential pursuant to Section 15.162, Subd. 2a of the Minnesota Government Practices Act. City personnel are expected to bear credentials and request permission to access the property if any occupants are home at the time of the inspection. I regret this wasn't the case, as it appears now that this matter may have been resolved informally without the need for any written communication. Needless to say, there are many types of violations that exist on properties throughout the City. Unless furnished to us through the form of a registered complaint, we do not have the time nor manpower to survey the entire City for potential violations. Let me assure you that our objective is to provide the best possible public service to our residents consistent with our responsibility for fulfilling our legal obligations. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at 509-5401. Sincerely, Anne W.

I found this letter to be as offensive as it was uninformative. Since I have met with, and discussed the position of my boat on my property with all of my neighbors, I can only imagine the said "complaint" to be hearsay. Si., it is written in the U.S. Constitution that a person has the right to face his/her accusers Unless a name and a date can be associated with the "complaint", I find that you are in violation of my rights. To put this matter straight, my van was parked on the grass next to my driveway, attached to the trailer, for one day ,as I had just returned from a three hundred mile trip with a severe case of poison ivy. I left it there as a matter of convenience to attend to my condition. You must have chosen that day to drive past my home and filed the "complaint" yourself, instead of knocking on my door, introducing yourself, and letting my know personally what the city does not allow. I am a new resident of the city of Plymouth. I moved here to eliminate the trifles and impersonal treatment caused by life in a big city. Your letter served only to inform me that I have failed. One does not need to travel very far to find examples of other parking violations in our city. A vehicle has been parked for weeks on the corner of Schmidt Lake Rd. and Zachary Ln. with a "For Sale" sign in the window, another just one block west. There are boats parked in the same manner, one on Schmidt Lake Rd. and Pineview, and another just one block west. I am not complaining about these vehicles, I only mention them in point of fact. You need not "conduct another inspection" of my property sir, but while you are out driving around keep your eyes open. There are a lot of other people you can write to. Keep busy..

Based on the information provided, the TERS staff has closed the release site file. Closure of the file means that the TERS staff does not require any additional investigation and/or cleanup work at this time or in the foreseeable future. Please be aware that file closure does not necessarily mean that all petroleum contamination has been removed from this site. However, the TERS staff has concluded that any remaining contamination, if present, does not appear to pose a threat to public health or the environment. The MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and to require additional investigation and/or cleanup work if new information or changing regulatory requirements make additional work necessary. If you or other parties discover additional contamination (either petroleum or nonpetroleum) that was not previously reported to the MPCA, Minnesota law requires that the MPCA be immediately notified. You should understand that this letter does not release any party from liability for the petroleum contamination under Minn. Stat. ch. 115C (Supp. 1997) or any other applicable state or federal law. In addition, this letter does not release any party from liability for nonpetroleum contamination, if present, under Minn. Stat. ch. I I 5 (1996), the Minnesota Superfund Law. Because you performed the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a fund which may provide partial reimbursement for petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Department of Commerce Petro Board. Specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board at 612/297-1119 or 612/297-4203. 520 Lafayette Rd.

Mr. Dave Johnson Page 2 July 13, 1998 If future development of this property or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed that petroleum contamination may still be present. If petroleum contamination is encountered during future development work, the MPCA staff should be notified immediately. For specific information regarding petroleum contamination that may remain at this leak site, please call the TERS File Request Program at 612/297-8499. The MPCA fact sheet #3.35 LeaklSpill and Underground Storage Tank File Request Form (August 1997) must be completed prior to arranging a time for file review. Thank you for your response to this petroleum tank release and for your cooperation with the MPCA to protect public health and the environment.

Please post the position and inform people you know of this opening. The opportunity to have served as the Executive Director of Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council for the past eleven years has truly been an honor. The human services councils in Hennepin County provide a vital coordinating role and purpose in the delivery and the development of needed programs, services and policies. This role is both unique and needed, now more than ever, with the ever changing environment related to human services. Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council celebrated its 25th anniversary last year having been established in 1972 as the regional human services research, planning and coordinating agency for fifteen cities. In its history thus far, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has - in partnership with other community organizations, cities, the county and residents - created many needed services and programs including Home Free Shelter, youth diversion programs, POINT Northwest, family resource centers, the Farmers Market, and many other well known agencies and programs. Surveys on all areas of community needs and issues; focus groups on cultural diversity, senior care, youth needs, job services and myriad of other topics; demographic profiles on each community, and collaborative ventures have marked the journey of the organization, as it has worked to enact its principles. The Council stands on the involvement of citizens and cities in meeting the needs of residents, and creating a strong quality of life for all residents. It is a challenging journey that necessitates the involvement of all people. Our various collaborative efforts are detailed on the attached page. We invite your support. I will be starting my new job as the Director of the Center for Non -Profit Management in the Graduate School of Business at the University of Saint Thomas on August 10. The Center serves as a think tank and research and resource center on issues of non-profit management as well as offering services, courses and seminars in the area of non-profit management. It is one of a relatively small number of professional development centers of its kind which are national in scope. There will be an interim plan in place during the transition period of the Director position at Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council so that the Council's business operations will remain as intact as possible. Your help and understanding during [his time will be appreciated. I will miss the work and the people of Northwest Hennepin but hope to continue to have contact with many of you in my new endeavor! Thank you to all of you for all that you have done and continue to do on b.c others in the community. } incerel f� Patricia S.
