When the water softener was purchased. a had water taplq"d was iotalled in the
garage. It is located near the softener on the wag sea a paddog ad. Residents aro
placing their water juga on the nearest car in go of the large notice posted salting them
not to do this. We were planning on installing a "Wmdry room-atyle" sink but may look
into having the apiclo foglumbed to a different location. We will be discus ft this at
the January Redidem Council Meeting.
We have bad a chronic problem in the leaf year with some residents not receiving hot
water for drinking/dishes. Several pbmdwg and malotonamce individuals, including the
contractor and arcleact have been bee to investigate the problem. Several solutions ware
proposed and implemented with short-term results. Recently, we discovered that the
recirculating pump senor was defective and woddnng an and off. The problem was
disauasad with Wagner's Plant Operations Director and based on their a gwnno% it was
decided that the pump will function continuously which has solved the problem.
In addition. time aro no gauges on the Hot Water Heater which will allow w to monitor
the temperature or pressure. The architect stated flue they were not necessary. However
tfrei plumbing contractor and Walker Pkat Operations Director feel they are• important for
preventative maintenance. We will look into the cost to install them. V we bad had the
gauges, we would have man that the reummig water was much lower than normal when
the above problem was brought to our attention.
Several months ago the temperature im tae diming room would not rias above 65 degrees.
It was discovered that the haft and cooling system were wired incorrectly. Recently
the flesh air intake ratio need to be ro adjustsd ae the room was remaining cool.
While the repair and replacement of the vinyl is about completed, it has berm discovered
that the floor in some kitchens are coming sup along the edges. We are wod ft with Greg
Oppegard to resolve the problem which is a result of installing the cabinets before the
flooring during construction. In the meantime we have installed quarter round in several
apartments to remove the hazard.

Resident Saddsetiom Survey 1995
AdIsn Plan
Issue: The lowest scars was 3.0 on question 27. I am satisfied with the Bea ayWarber Shop. In
addition, there were twelve comments written that the service fees are too ettposive.
Aetion:Tbe Lase alma that the operator will dump service !Pees that aro mutually agreed upon
by both the operator and M. Her prices are eanpetitive with the surrounding ares Hair
Salons. We believe that the residents aro comparing her pion to discount salons like
Coe& Cutters or &m Clips. Menageme t will make the operator aware of the results of
the Resident Setid action Survey. Masagemmt will not require her to change Icer fem
however, aro will work with her if she decides to adjust bar price.
Update 01/09/96

beauty shop halide.
2. We will post a sign outside the beauty shop that states hours and phone member.
This information hes been included in previous newsletters but residents may not

r- Resident Saddacdon Stnwey -1995
SurM DeOp
This survey was developed and carried out by the Quality Imsprovement staff of
Wallier Methodist. Inc. with the assistance of Walker Moa anent saff and the residents
of Wdker affiliated communities. The auvey quadonnaire for each community was crated
from a set of questions developed prior to our 1991 survey using input from residents of
each of the Wdbr communities. These question seta wen once again brottglu to the
rospaxive resident councils for review prior to the 1993 survey. Bach community was given
a survey which reflected its unique needs. Mame of the gt emus wets asked In Imaildpk
commtmitia providing the ability to compare responses among the communities where each
specific question was asked.
The survey quesdoonsira were delivered to the door of every resident with an
enclosed return envelope m August. Resits were requested to return the form to a
collation box in the hatusing manager's or administrator's offte or to return it directly to
the Quality Impovemem Department. Residents were allowed complete anonymity of
response througb this mail back provision.
A cutoff date of September 30 was used for processing. The overall zcgmn rate
for the tan communities pardcipatimg was 38%. meaning that about six of every 10 of the
occupied living units were represented in the survey. Iasi year's response rate was 60%.
Residents were asked to provide a response to a list of statements on an opinion
scale rarSkB from stroney agree to stropey disagree with an option to select no opinion.
Items which were left blank were coded as no opinion. For analysis. a acnes of 4 points was
coded to strongly agree. 3 points to agree. 2 points to disagree and 1 point to strongly
disagree. All statements area positively framed and therefore, a response of strongly agree
reflects a high level of smddkdon. while conversely, a respouse of strongly disagree reflects
a high level of dissatisfaction. Responses to the several questions pertaining to resident
interest in additional services or activities (labeled R.I. -in table 2) and responses of NA
not applicable or no opinion) were excluded from the computation of averages.
Ali Walltee Commmtly Results
Overall average commmu* satisfacdon for all Walker eommanities was 3.4. This is
a slight increase from last year's score of 3.3. Of the 303 residents who responded to the
overall satisfaction statement. only -13 or 3 % expressed diasadafaaiow with their-conumuft.
Leat year this was also 3%. Thus. the overall acorn improved by 0.1 while the percentage
of satisfied residents remained arable at 97%. This reflects that then was little clump in

Action Plan
Isms: The lowest score was 3.0 on question 27. I am satidW with the BeautlllBarber Shop. In
addition, then were twdve Comments wWcn that the service fsms aro too agaodw
ACtimt:The Lease states that the operator will charge service fees that aro undudly agreed upon
by both the operator and PTF Her prices an competitive with the surrounding area Hair
Salons. We believe that the residents aro comparing her prices to discount sakms like -
Coat Cutters or Croat Clips. Management will make the operator aware of the results of
the Resident Sm aBmtion Survay. Mantsgesamt will not require bar to clump her Sees,
however, we will work with her Vain deckles to sow her prices.

iters will be done to dnaoge any nagative how about the Beauty Slop into pie
ones.
1. 'The light in the Beauty Shop will be left on. When the light is oQ residents and
guests can not see into the room. Those individuals who visit the building when the
beauty slap is dosed will now be aware of the amenity when they may not have
pass.been in the During tours' visitors have always been impressed with the

2. We will post a sign outside the booty shop that states hours and phone number..

have retained It.
3.. The operators service fees are lower than the surround competitors. She will
develop a chart that Compares bar foes to the competitors in the ares and post it -in

Dear SwAy.
I have nwived and reviewed the results of the Resident satisfaction survey that was conducted
in August of this year. The overall satisfaction for Plymouth Towns square was 3.7 on a 4.0
scale with a majority of items higher than all the Wainer Community's average. Only one
item fell below the all community average. That item was the satishetion with the Beauty
Shop which was 3.0. This was the lowest score on the survey.
Walker's policy states that I need to develop an action plan for A items scoring 3.0 or below.
The Action Plan must melte an assumption as to why the queedon ax , I who it did and what
will be done to Inctem the satisfaction. I have attached my action plan along with n packet
summarizing the results still comms. Please take a moment std look them over.
I feel it is importam that we get together and discuss the survey results and determine whether
or not any changes need to be made regarding the tee structure. Please call me at your earliest
convenience at 550-9525.
sincerely.

SUDUCT: Authorization for Additional VVVVw____ork at Plymouth Town Square
During the final ioWwd m of Plymouth Towne Square, the State Elevator Inspector raised an
objection to the fire sprinklers in the elevator shaft. Recently, the State Elevator Inspector agreed to
approve a change in the location of the sprinklers from the top of the shaft to the bottom of the
shaft, that had been previously approved by the Fire Inspector. In order to obtain the permanent
occupancy permit from the City, It is necessary to relocate the existing quridders in the elevator
shafts at a we of not to exceed $1,300.
Sinop the occupancy of Plymouth Towne Square, problems have been noted with drainage around
the building and now and ice sliding off of the roof onto the sidewalk and drive at tie front of the
building. It has been recommended that gutters and downspouts be installed at specific legations at
the front and sear of the building where drainage has beau a problem to oomecI this situation. Cost
for this installation is estimated not to exceed $12,000.
To prevent the potential hazard of accumulated snow and ice fdit from the roof onto the sidewalk
or drive at the entry of the building, pt has also been recommended that in addition to gutters and
downspouts, snow guards be installed on the roofs at these locations. Cost for this installation is
estimated not to exceed $3,800.
The construction plans for Plymouth Towne Squaw called for the dope behind the building and
beyond the fire lane, to be seeded with wild flowers rather than Wass due to a concern that the slope
would be too stoop to mow. However, during construction pt became apparent that seeding would
take too long to halt erosion of the slope into the drive of the adjacent property and would not be
compatible with the sod on the adjacent property. After Towne Squaw's lawn service indicated that
the slope was to too steep to mow, staff decided that it would be preferable to sod this area. The
additional creat for sod, other than seeding this area is $300.
The total goat for this work is estimated not to exceed $17,400. A surplus of $144,500 currently
exists in the Senior Housing Project (Construction) Fund budget that can be used to fund these
expenditures.
I recommend that tie HRA Board of Commissioners autboriza the use of up to $17,400 from
the Senior Housing "ad Fund for the following additional work at Plymouth Towne
J Squarer. Relocation of the fire sprinkles In the elevator shafts $ 1,300
Installation of gutters and downspouts 121000
Installation of snow guards 3,800
Installation of additional sod 300

TO: Anne W. Hodbort, BMdve Directort
FROM: Bdward J. Goldoodth, HRA Supervisor
SIJ U=.- Developmeot.of City of Minsroapolis Property im Plymouth
Since 1977, the City of Minneapolis through its Community Development Agency (MCRA) has
been selling portlons of the farm property that was pan of the Minneapolis Woddwuro located in
Plymouth. Over 1,300 value of mostly madotrrste housing have been developed on this property
along with paths and io4u M development In the Parlors Laine Mixed-use Pinned Unit
Development OUWM. Oahe odgh>al'425.6 acres in the MPUD, the MCDA has a 6.38 am site
available for residential, development at-Sheaandosh Land and 22nd Avenue North and a 4.08 aces
site avaWble for neighborhood commercial developwast at Vicksburg Leos and 22nd Avenue
North. These are the he pieces of land in the MPUD that are owned by the City of Minneapolis.
At the November, 1995 HRA meeting the potential opportunities for do HRA in the development of
Neese properties was discussed and the staff was directed to continue discussions with all interested
parties regarding the potsNlides for the HRA becoming involved in development on these sites.
Following this meting, I held a discussion with staff from the MCDA regarding how we could bort
collaborate In development of this property to fulfill the objectives of both the cities of Plymouth and
Minneapolis. The MCDA staff indicated a willingness to discuss the possibility of some type of
joint arrangement for development of the property.
By wooing collaboratively an development of these sites, each city would be able to benefit from
the other's unique role in the development process. As owner of these sites, the City of Minneapolis
controls the marketing and ultimate disposition of -the property. The Chy-ef Plymouth, by virtue of
its !sail use, planning and zoning ordinancxs; has considerable influence over the development that is
permitted. Previous proposals for development of this property have not received approvals from
the City. With a collaboration between the two cities, we can open opportunities for the HRA to
proactively participate with the MCDA in development of a plan for this property that is mutually
agreeable to all panics and which facilitates quality development in a timely manner.
I recommend that the HRA Board of Commlaeioners autherlse the staff to Miele negoddlous
with Nue MCDA and City of Mimmeapolls to establieb a colleborstive relationship between then
and Nre City of Plymouth and the Plymouth HRA for the purpose of producing a plan for the
development of the remaining Mimeapolls propetiy In Nue Paelkore Lake MMM In Plymouth
J and that staff notify the Plymouth City Council of this action. The results of these negotiations
would be subject to review and approval of the BRA and Nue Plymouth City Cound.
