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.

J PVMO* Towne Square 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%.

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.

Hurlburt, R=dve Director. FROM: Edward 1. Goldsmith, HRA Supervisor 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 I dy,. .• a ..

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. Attachneut: 1.
