Water use in the City of Plymouth can increase from just over 150 million gallons per month in February to nearly 450 million gallons per month in July and August. This dramatic jump in water consumption is attributed to outdoor watering by residential and commercial property owners. A rebate program was developed by the City of Plymouth to focus on improving the water efficiency of irrigation systems at residential and commercial properties throughout the city. Rebates are currently being offered to residential and commercial customers of the water utility, to replace old, inefficient irrigation controllers and irrigation sprinkler heads with new, WaterSense® certified products. Rebates for irrigation controllers are awarded for the cost of the item, up to $200 for residential customers and $500 for commercial & multi-family customers. Rebates for sprinkler heads are awarded for the cost of the items, up to $100 for residential customers and $200 for commercial and multi-family customers, with a minimum purchase of 10 sprinkler heads. The rebate program has been funded by the City Council for a total of $50,000 for 2018. Rebates are awarded on a on a first come, first served basis. Payment was made upon successful completion of work and submittal of the rebate request form and original receipts. The rebate program is currently open and accepting applications until November 30th, 2018 or until funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. City staff estimated before the rebate program began that if 25 commercial irrigation systems and 185 residential irrigation systems are upgraded, the city and its residents, would save an estimated 14,500,000 gallons of water annually. The results of the rebate program as of August 1, 2018 are shown in Table 1 below. Staff found that all residential and commercial property owners who received a rebate through this program were overwatering the lawns on their property significantly. The rebate program provides property owners the incentive to upgrade old irrigation systems with WaterSense® Certified irrigation products, which will result in a dramatic decrease their water usage going forward.

It is also important to note that residential and commercial property owners have invested over $22,700 in upgrading the water efficiency of homes and businesses through this program. In addition to the rebates already issued, Public Works and Parks & Recreation staff are working together to improve the efficiency of the irrigation system at the Zachary Playfields. Additional information can be provided to the Council once the upgrades have been completed and data is collected. Overall, the rebate program has been a success in 2018 and the improvements will save the city and its property owners an estimated 13,765,000 gallons of water annually once the program is fully funded. Staff will continue to promote the program to residents and businesses throughout the city and will provide another update at the end of the year.

By Erin Adler (http://www.startribune.com/erin-adler/195633361/) Star Tribune JULY 7, 2018 — 9:22PM Many of bartender Kaylie Hagg’s customers at Broadway Pizza in Plymouth stay at one of five nearby hotels. But gazing out the window at the Red Roof Inn, she said she’s just as likely to see blue and red flashing lights as customers strolling over to her place for a slice of pizza. “I’ve seen shady activity over there,” Hagg said. “The cops are over once per shift.” City officials found that though the Red Roof Inn offers 12 percent of the city’s hotel rooms, it accounts for 43 percent of police calls to hotels. While some online reviews say the hotel is clean and call it “a good value,” others note the scent of marijuana and syringes left in rooms. So the Plymouth City Council took action, requiring licensing for each of the city’s seven hotels. Now city officials can strip a hotel’s license if they find too many police calls there. From Brooklyn Center to Chaska, suburbs are cracking down on problem hotels by requiring them to get a license, giving the cities leeway to intervene at crime-ridden establishments that drain municipal resources. “Calls at our hotels and motels were escalating, and there was really no remedy that we had other than … taking care of the issue and coming back a couple hours later,” said Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon. Some hotel managers and owners welcome the regulations. But others contend that policing hotels is part of law enforcement’s job, and that tracking 911 calls could discourage hotels from calling for help when needed. “The cities keep adding more and more fees,” said Bill Foussard, owner of the Best Western Plus in White Bear Lake. “You’d think that some of the things you get for the taxes you pay would cover police, fire.” While some wonder whether licensing will make a difference, experts said the strategy has worked elsewhere. “It’s a wonderful tool in a city’s arsenal,” said Craig Waldron, who teaches public administration at Hamline University and is North St. Paul’s interim city manager. “If management isn’t taking care of the drugs and prostitution and so forth, licensing … gives you a way to solve these problems.” Guards and cameras That hotels — especially low-budget inns — attract criminal activity long has been accepted. With customers paying for privacy, some by the hour, it’s hard for law enforcement to keep tabs on activity. The 24-hour nature of the business, and floor plans that allow patrons to enter from outside, only add to the challenge. In the metro area, the licensing trend started in 2015 with Minneapolis, in an effort to penalize hotels for keeping poor records and allowing illegal activity, said Dan McElroy, president and CEO of Hospitality Minnesota. Brooklyn Center was among the first suburbs to license hotels, in December 2016. The city had assigned a special police unit to hotels, but frequent hotel management turnover led to “a return to excessive police calls and high profile violent crime” at the same places, a city memo said, including a homicide at the Quality Inn in 2017. The city’s ordinance created a three-tiered system for hotels, based on the number of police calls per room. Those with the most calls are required to have security guards 12 hours a day and issue parking passes. Noncompliance results in a downgraded license and a higher fee, and the City Council can eventually revoke the license.

The goal is to ensure that hotel managers “are doing the kinds of things that have been proven to reduce police calls,” said Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey. One reason Chaska sought a licensing ordinance, according to Nate Kabat, assistant city administrator, is that it’s drawing more interest from hotel developers. Officials want them to understand the city’s expectations regarding hotels. “We want to be a place people want to come and stay,” he said. The most common reason for calls to hotels by Ply mouth police was suspicious activity; prostitution ranked fifth. City officials even created graphs tracking the number of calls in proportion to a hotel’s property taxes. “It really comes down to how do we spend our tax dollars?” said Steve Juetten, Plymouth’s community development director. One size fits all? Not everyone is on board with increased regulation. McElroy said that while his organization hasn’t taken an official position on hotel licensing, he’s not convinced that it’s effective. “I get a little frustrated with a one-size-fits-all solution,” he said. Burnsville city officials, unhappy with having received 2,100 police calls from hotels in a single year, weighed whether to pursue licensing this spring but decided against it. Police Chief Eric Gieseke admitted that police calls at five of the city’s nine hotels were “excessive” but said it was too soon to tell whether licensing works. Other city officials noted that most issues stemmed from one hotel, and that a licensing program wouldn’t be budget-neutral. Nathan Kremer, manager at the Best Western Premier Nicollet Inn, said his hotel’s police call total “was up there a little more.” But he said he likes to call with any problems. “I do feel like we’re getting penalized as a good property, I really do,” Kremer said. The licensing ordinances in Brooklyn Center, Plymouth and Chaska only count calls placed about criminal activity at a hotel, not calls made by hotel employees. Waite Park approved licensure last year to deal with its only hotel, the site of hundreds of police calls and a homicide several years ago, said Shaunna Johnson, Waite Park city administrator. She said it has helped so far. “We’ve finally gotten [hotel management] to the table,” Johnson said. But time will tell whether it succeeds long-term, she said. Mike Zimmerman of Minnetonka has stayed at the Red Roof in Plymouth three times while he was working nearby construction jobs. He said he’s noticed that police come around often, but that makes him feel safe. Still, he supports hotel licensing: “I think that’s a fantastic idea.” Erin.Adler@startribune.com 612-673-1781 erinStrib Page 20 8/2/2018 Wings Financial Credit Union Closes on Purchase of 3 KleinBank Branches - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal https://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/businesswire/press_releases/Minnesota/2018/07/27/20180727005082 1/3 PRESS RELEASES > BUSINESS WIRE Wings Financial Credit Union Closes on Purchase of 3 KleinBank Branches Jul 27, 2018, 11:00am EDT New locations include Coon Rapids, Otsego and Plymouth, Minnesota APPLE VALLEY, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE) Wings Finncil Credit Union, Minnesot’s lrgest credit union, nnounced tht it hs opened three new brnches this week in the northwest Twin Cities metro.
