PUBLIC HEARING; PROPOSED VACATION OF UTILITY AND DRAINAGE
EASEMENTS, LOTS 2 AND ~ BLOCK 1.,~ RUSTIC PLACE
The City Manager explained that the new owners of Lots 2 and 3,
Block 1, Rustic Place, are willing to sign a new easement for a
smaller amount of land. The old easement is no longer necessary
because storm sewer has been installed in that area. He went on
to explain that Lot 1 would also like to have the easement
May 8, 1984
vacated and sign a new smaller easement.
The Mayor opened the Public Hearing and asked for any comments
for or against this vacation. There were none. The Mayor closed
the public hearing.
The City Attorney pointed out that if Lot 1, Block 1, Rustic
Place desires to vacate the easement across their property, we
would have to republish the notices because it was not on the
original vacation application. He suggested continuing the
public hearing until Lot 1 and Lot 4, Block 1, Rustic Place have
come in and applied for their vacation. That way the City can
get the Engineer to provide the proper easement descriptions and
have the easements themselves properly signed and executed and
the proper published notice can be done.
Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded a motion to continue the
public hearing on the proposed vacation of utility and
drainage easements on the lots in Rustic Place to a date when
all the legal requirements are met. The vote was unanimously
in favor. Motion carried.

VARIANCE
The City Manager explained that this request is to replace the
deck with an addition 12 feet out and 28 feet across with a full
basement and a three season porch above it. Present ordinance
would require a corner lot to have two front yard setbacks of 20
feet. The variance needed to Longfellow would be 3.0 feet. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance.

CASE #84-321;
GEORGE MILLFORD, .229 LA~GDON LANE, LOTS.6 &.~,
BLOCK l, MACK'S ADDITION, FRONT YARD VARIANCE
The City Manager explained that the reason for Mr. Millford's
request is as follows. The house actually sits about 34 feet off
the east leg of the "Y" and 51 feet off the west leg ofthe "Y"
and is about 6 (plus or minus) feet to the property line. The
road was never improved to make a full width cul-de-sac, only a
"Y", but it is still on the plat and thus is creating a hardship
on the applicant. The Planning Commission recommended approval
87
May 8, 1 984
of this variance.

The City Manager explained that this is a suit that was filed 4
or 5 years ago for a violation in the old Zoning Ordinance and
not taking out a building permit for improvements that were made
at that time. In 1982 the Zoning Ordinance was'changed and the
beachhouse became a conforming accessory building. Donald Kempf
has agreed to take out a building permit, pay the fees and do
what is necessary to get the beachhouse up to code so the Staff
is recommending approval of the Stipulation for Dismissal without
Prejudice.

120,000 miles and it will need to be replaced. In checking, the
delivery on these dump trucks is 6 months and over behind the
time they are ordered so that by the time we order it will be
June and delivery would probably not be until after the 1st of
next year. The specifications were presented and the bid opening
date is suggested to be June 11, 1984.

The City Manager reported that only 2 of the 9 items that
conditioned his license renewals, for six months or until May 15,
1984, have been completed since November 15, 1983. The Building
Inspector wrote to Mr. Rager on March 29, 1984, asking what his
plans were as to complying with the conditions. She reported
that Mr. Rager thought since he wasn't serving beer anymore and
was using the facility strictly for a restaurant, that he did not
have to comply. He was informed he still needs a conditional use
permit to operate his restaurant in a residential area. The
Council discu'ssed the possibility of revoking his licenses which
90
are:
May 8, 1984

the next meeting. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.

The City Manager explained that only 1 of the 8 old street lights
on County Road 15 is working properly. All Star Electric has
submitted a proposal to fix these lights at an estimated cost of
$4,000. They have already put 9 hours into checking out the
lights to determine what is wrong with each one.
Councilmember Paulsen asked the City Attorney if we needed two
quotations. He responded yes, if at all possible.
Councilmember Peterson asked if we could get a quotation which
would quote an hourly rate.
After discussion the Council asked the City Manager to obtain
another quotation and try to get an hourly rate.

SPECIAL JOINT MEETING
OF THE
CITY COUNCIL AND
PLANNING COMMISSION
The City'Council and Planning Commission of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota,
met in a special .joint session on May. 15, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers
at 5341Maywood Road, in said City; Those present were: Mayor Bob Polston, Council-
members Pinky Charon, Phyllis,Jessen, Gary Paulsen and Russ Peterson and Planning
Commission Chairman Frank Weiland, Commissioners Robert Byrnes, Liz. Jensen, Geoff
Michael and Michael Vargo..Commissioners George Kinser, William Meyer. and Thomas
Reese were absent. Also present were: City Manager Jon Elam, City Planner Mark
Koegler, Building Official Jan Bertrand, Planner Kirk Corson'and Secretary Marjorie
Stutsman.
The Mayor. opened the meeting at 7:30 p.m. The. purpose of this meeting is to go
over the Preliminary Draft of the'Mound Sign Ordinance (ReviSion dated: May 8,
1984).
Commissioner Vargo explained the reason the Planning Commission got into this sign
ordinance was that almost every sign in the City was over the 9 square feet of the
present ordinance and the Commission was seeing sign variances constantly and
there was some feeling we could improve the image of the community through effective
control. Commissioner Jensen explained what you have in front of you is the cul-
mination'of a lot of time and effort. The Planner and his organization spent a lot
of time pulling together bits and pieces of information from other communities' sign
ordinances; the Commission has looked at those and had meetings and talked about
what we'd like to see or aot like to ~ee in terms of signage for the City---there is
a lot of time and effort put into this thing and what we want to look at is "does
it do for Mound what we want it to do?, are we going to enforce what's in here
or are we going to let it ride?". If we're not going to spend time enforcing what
the ordinance says,.then let's not do anything with it, let's just let the prolif-
eration of signs continue and go on. Commissioner Michael stated we have to do
something, there is no'sign ordinance. Jensen stated she hopes the Commission will
spent fewer.of "our" hours talking to peop]e about what they can use to communicate
to their consumers. Chairman Weiland commented that the Council knows full well
the hours spent on the ordinance draft and gave a special th~nks to the Planner and
the sub-comm'ittee for putting it together. The City Manager stated the height of
frustration for the Council on the sign issue was when they looked at Orlando Bouti-
que signs/they try to modify or work with people on signs and then Mrs. Peugh wanted
to put up a variety of directional signs to her home and the Council turned it down;
but really felt uncomfortable about that because of the inconsistency and the fact
that people consistently .put up what are in essence illegal signs to do this and to
do that and the frustration of the Building Official trying to manage an uncontrolled
situation.
The Mayor commented that something has to be done about signs and that the unfairness
of it is that we've treated people 'differently by allowing -- for instance, the
Lakewinds signs that have popped up all over town all of a sudden -- the unfairness
of it is that we've treated people differently; should be treated the same under the
ord!nance. He stated he wanted to say "thank you" for coming up with an ordinance
that would treat people the same and he hopes this will be an ordinance that we can
live with when it is finalized.
City Planner Mark Koegler explained .at the last Planning Commission discussion
meeting, they came to the concurrence that this would be the draft and asked where
did they go next.' They want to'go to the business community and obviously it has
May 15, 1984
to 9o to a public hearing also. Before either of those occurrences, they felt it
reasonable to run the draft by the Counc.~l to see if they were comfortable with
it and if there were any major inconsistencies, the Councll could send it 6ack.
Koegler then reviewed the Preliminary Draft. of the Mound Sign Ordinance, May 8,
1984 Revision. Some of the comments and questions brought up were as follows:
Section
3 ..O6
The Mayor asked how to limit it tO hardship and asked that a paragraph be
put in'explaining criterta-of hardshi, p] i,e. that economics is not con-
sidered a hardship, The Building Offi.cial stated that if this is adopted
as part of Chapter 23, Zoning .Ordinance,. the Zoning Ordinance does spell
out what the criteria of hardship is.
Discussed briefly advantages.'and disadvantages.of .integrating the sign ordinance
..into the Zoning:Ordinance. The City Manager thought it makes sense to integrate
it together because you have one perSop admini.strating and overseeing both; when.
a business comes in, the fi. rst thihg they look at'is w.hat can they do in the busi-
-ness district or the zoning and the second part is what kind of signs I can have
in the district and parking available, etc.
All present were in favor of integrating the sign ordinance into the Zoning Code.
3.07
Change of business, wording or name of company., etc. is considered an
al.teration. Discussed that nonconforming signs should be registered or
dated to differentiate between new signage.
3.10
Peterson stated he didn't li.ke to see imprisonment as a penalty. The
Council wished to strike the portion after the word "misdemeanor".
The Planner mentioned it will be referenced to the Zoning Ordinance.
Discussed several definitions.
rather than 2.acres.
Koegler stated in 4.02(4) area should be.~ acre
5.02
This prohibits'.bill board type off premises advertising signs (except
real .estate) and is something for the City Attorney to look at to make
sure everything is germane.
5.09
Jessen questioned why people should put phone number on garage sale sign.
Discussed that alternative would be some sort of registration of garage
sales; but decided it might be too cumbersome.
5.09(6g) Change occurrence to occasion to correspond with verbage in 5.09(6e)
Councilmember Jessen left the meeting.
5.09(7)
Vargo stated he thinks 32 square foot too large for seasonal signs and
that the City being inundated with signs (Commission agreed); thinks
3 by 6 foot sign more appropriate. Paulsen in favor of having signs
that meet industry standards and that "seasonal" should be defined.
The Council felt 32 square foot signs are acceptable.
5.10
It was felt there was an inconsistency here
between portable and seasonal signs.
fail'to see difference
6.05(3)
Discussed signage for mini~mall and that one.wall sign is permitted for
each business with at least 2000 square feet of gross floor area and saw
no problem, ~/¢~)
May 15, 1984
6.o5(4)
6.o8(1)
Weiland thought the Fire Ordinance should be looked at to determine if
a sign 5 feet above the roof l. ine was acceptable.
This reference should be back to Section 6.05 rather than 6.06.
Commissioner Michael demonstrated a changing sign which showed the difference be-
tween a flashing sign and a changing si§n.
4.02
These definitions would be integrated into the standard zoning definitions.
Peterson asked if there.has been a surVey'made Qf present signs; thinks it would
be worthwhile to review the Central Business District signs. Koeg!er stated there
should be a photographic record/survey of all existing signage. Peterson stated
that.before the public hearing, it would be good to have a slide show of examples
of conforming signs, so people can make a judgment; for instance, that sign is
appropriate, meet.s guidelines/ordinance, etc.
Vargo asked if some money.cou.ld be found to provide design grants to encourage
PeoPle to upgrade their signs. The City Manager stated signage is eligible expense.
Discussed stressing the positive when presenting draft to business people. Koegler
stated this ordinance very average and not overly restrictive.
The City Manager thought that the group that'would be affected and that Staff wants
to reach, would be the Retail Merchants of Mound .(not the Chamber as that takes in
.other areas) and that George Stevens is. the President. After that, it should go
back to t'he Commission with any suggestions and ideas; then go to Council for a
date to be set'.for a public hearing a.bout in'December.
The Mayor thanked theCommission for their wor'k and at 9:10 p.m., the Council got
up and left the Council Chambers.
May 15, 1984
The Piannlng Commission continued the meetl, ng with a discussion of the Comprehensive
Guide Plan Outline Draft after the doint Meeting with the Council.
Chairman Weiland opened the discussion at about 9:15'p.m. starting with "Housing".
Commissioner Jensen asked if City is required to have certain percentage of low and
moderate income housing; Planner Kirk Corson explained that he is'being filled in
on the Section 8 kequirements and will get that information together for the Commis-
sion. It was felt that Mound has her fair share of lOw and moderate income housing.
On Page 9,.Jensen asked relative to "Identify residential areas in need of improve-
ment'', how are we going to identifY What needs,improvement and why are we going to
do this? Corson stated City never h~s targeted any areas and thought maybe specific
areas should be targeted for imprOvement. Discussed briefly.
Jensen thought on page l0 under "Policy".that something was missing in paragraph
" .... provision of garage .... .". Garages not required. On page ll, under "Imple-
mentation of Housing Policies" at end of paragraph, St'rike portion after "..range".
Next sentence, change to read,'"Maintain participation in .... ". Bottom of page 11
and top of page 12, Jensen doesn't want lots to be able to be divided up. Discussed
and agreed to'change statement to read, "....standards that accommodate small lot
construction."
Corson reviewed the Section, Transportation, starting with Maps T-l, followed by the
definitions, the inventory of local roads, what. they are and how they are classified.
On page 5, the Commission thought there should be 4 zones (Island Park should be in-
cluded. On page 6, Jensen questioned if numbers correct; didn't seem consistent.
Vargo stated he had a problem with the statistics, too.
Corson reviewed bikeways. Vargo.fee.ls we need to include biketrails to our schools
and thinks we should try to accomplish a goal of working with the Community of Minne-
trista to connect the bikeway to the high school.
Discussed pedestrian crosswalks; there are at least two places on Commerce with no
signage.
The Urban Environmental Protection Section is pretty well drawn out; pretty basic.
The Chairman asked if anyone had anything to' change. There were some typo's to be
corrected, but it was agreed to accept the content of this section with the exception
of on page 4, 1,000 feet from the shorelines of designated lakes doesn't apply as
Mound was established before at 50 feet.
Corson would like to bring back "Housing Section" one more time because of the changes.
It was asked if.the statistics could be checked. Also discussed that Corson will be
done about the end of June.
At 9:55 p.m., densen moved and Michael seconded a motion to adjourn this discussion.
All in favor, so meeting adjourned.
May 22, 1984

nolly, Nicholas Espirltu, John and Joyce Kossieck, Brad Patterson and Richard

The Mayor opened the meeting and welcomed the people in attendance.
Themlnutes of the May 8 and May 15 meetings are to be carried over until the
June 12, 1984 regular meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING: DELINQUENT UTILITY BILLS FOR MAY
Mayor Polston opened the pub'lic hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak in
regard to a delinquent utility bill. No one responded. The Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Peterson moved and Jessen seconded the fC.11owing resolution:
RESOLUTION 84-77 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE DELINQUENT UTILITY BILLS IN
THE AMOUNT OF THE REVISED TOTAL $2,020.42 AND AUTHORIZING
THE STAFF TO.SHUT-OFF WATER.SERVICE FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUATION: 'VACATION OK'UTILITY AND DRAINAGE EASEMENTS ON LOTS
l, 2, 3 & 4, BLOCK l, RUSTIC PLACE
The City Manager explained this was talked about at the last meeting and because
the material you had in the last packet was not the final material that had been
developed, it was tabled. The Building Official wrote out the resolution which
covered the issue and the hearing not'ice was correctly published for all 4 lots
as you will notice in this packet, even tho the application was for Lots 2, 3 &
4. The owner of Lot 1 didn't file for a vacation of easement on Lot 1, but be-
cause the hearing notice was prepared as if he had, the whole situation is
cleared up. The City Manager asked the City Attorney if resolution would be
correct. He concurred that it was, but that it could not be recorded until the
new easements were executed and recorded.
The Mayor then reopened public hearing and asked if anyone would like to speak;.
hearing none, the public hearing was closed.
Charon moved and Peterson seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION 84-78 RESOLUTION VACATING CERTAIN UTILITY AND DRAINAGE EASEMEN]
ON LOTS 1., 2, 3 AND 4, BLOCK 1, RUSTIC PLACE
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
May 22, 1984
The City Manager then explained that because we owned these lots and the people
brought, them without seeing the easements before .the closing, and it was their
intention to build back on the lots away from the street, Mr. Thompson is re-
questing the fee for the vacation be waived and refunded to them. Secondly,
John Cameron of McCombs Knutson cannot understand why the easements were set at
55 feet requiring homes to be built close to Bartlett Boulevard. No where else
does the City have a 55 foot wide easement for utilities. Because of the hard~
ship to the applicant, we would recommend the refund.
Peterson moved and Jessen seconded a motion that the fee be refunded for the
vacation application on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Rustic Place. The vote was
unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
CASE #84-324 NICHOLAS ESPIRITU, 1638-EAGLE LANE, LOTS 13, 14 & 15, BLOCK 2,
WOODLAND POINT, FRONT YARD VARIANCE
The City Manager explained the request is for a 24 foot front yard variance be-
cause the applicant wants to build a 2 car garage and alongside his property is
an undeveloped street and he wants to build up to 6 feet of that street. The
Building Official has recommended allowing the garage to be built to within 10
feet allowing a 20 foot variance. The o~her language talked about at the Plan-
ning Commission was that the. building would be used for storage of private
passenger vehicles and not be used for any kine of home occupation. Applicant
is in the Body Shop business. Mr. Espiritu stated he does work a lot on his own
vehicles.
Charon moved and Peterson seconded .the followin~ ~esolution:
RESOLUTION 84- 79
RESOLUTION TO CONCUR WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOM-
MENDATION TO APPROVEiA 20 FOOT FRONT YARD VARIANCE FOR

a 6 foot front yard variance basically because of the topography and the way it's
landscaped. Applicant just purchase property and they want to convert the
existing carport to an enclosed garage. There will be'no expansion toward street
or the side. The Planning Commission has recommended this.

new sign on the front of his building that would be in conformance in size with
the Photo Factory. A second sign (temporary. sign 4 X 8 feet) is proposed to be

sign raises some question as it doesn't meet the language of a seasonal sign of
the proposed sign draft. The Planning CommiSsion took separate action on each
of the signs, approving the sign on front of building and denying the other.
Jessen moved and Charon seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION 84-81
RESOLUTION TO CONCUR WITH THE PLANN'ING COMMISSION RECOM-
MENDATION TO APPROVE THE SIGN VARIANCE FOR BRAD PATTER-

moving into the former Rustique building and open June 1st. Dick Schwert is going
to move into'the former Westonka Sports and he sees real possibilities since he
has to update that building and perhaps.do a whole new store front; he has talked

Code and is a flagrant use of dockage and of the neighbors. He stated that if

Vacation of Canary Lane
Woodland Road to 3ennings Road
File #2113, General
Dear Jan:
We have reviewed the request for vacating Canary Lane and do not see any
reason for the City to retain this property. If the two applicants have pur-
chased all the lots listed on the application for street vacation, then the
only other property affected would be Lots 23 and 24, Block 9 and the City own-
ed land. Lots 23 and 24 are owned by one part, with a home on Lot 24 and the
driveway to Woodland Lane. As far as we can determine, there are no City util-
ities located in this portion of Canary Lane. We would recommend that the City
retain a ten foot drainage easement, five feet on either side of the existing
centerline of Canary. We would also recommend vacating the length of Canary
from Woodland Road to Jennings Road.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
me.
Very truly yours,

Case No. 84-325 Vacation of Canary Lane from Woodland Road to Jennings Road
Greg Kohl of 5149 Woodland Road represented the applicant, Kenneth Weber.
Also p~esent were Joane Fillbrandt and A1Hofstadler.
The Building Official explained the request is to vacate Canary Lane south from
Woodland Road to the Lake approximately 175 feet to Lot 7 of Block 8 and to Lot
18 of Block 9, Woodland Point. The Engineer is recommending the vacation south
to Jennings Road retaining a ten foot drainage easement, five feet on either
side of centerline of Canary. Mr. Hofstadler has Lots 23 and 24 of Block 9; his
drive comes off Canary Lane. The dotted line.on the ½ Section Map is edge of
wetlands and then there is about 60 feet of marshy area to open water. Owner-
ship of land abutting Canary Lane was discussed and accessibility to. lake down
thi~ lane. Kohl stated that no vehicle could get down there. Purpose of reques
is to be able to landscape and blend it into recently purchased land on which
Weber plans to .build a home. Hofstadler said he had no objection to the vacation,
but he has filled about 20 feet of Canary going back 40 feet. He would, like
the portion he has filled and would like light pole moved as getting into his
garage is difficult. Chairman advised, if vacation approved, he would get half
of Canary (15 feet) and would have to negotiate with the other owner for the
additional footage. Kohl owns Lots l, 2, 3 and 4, Block 8. Weber owns Lots 3,
4, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of'Block 3.
Byrnes moved and Michael seconded a motion to recommend the vacation of Canary
Lane from Woodland.Road to Jennings Road. The vote was unanimously in favor.

Swimmi n~ Pools
In April, it became apparent to staff that swin~ning pools were not adequately
covered under the existing zoning ordinance. In order to clarify this issue,
staff recommended that swimming pools be added to the list of accessory uses
in the residential zones. The Planning Ccmmission concurred with this opinion
and requested that a public hearing be established to review the appropriate
language for the ordinance.
Staff recommends that the ordinance be modified in the following manner:
A. Amend Section 23.604.4, Permitted Accessory Uses, to add the following:
Private Swimmir~ pools having a water depth of two (2) feet or more which
are operated for the enjoyment and convenience of the residents of the
principal use and their guests provided that the following conditions are
met:
Pools should be located not less than fifteen (15) feet frc~n any
rear property line, ten (10) feet frcra any side yard property line
and in the case of corngr lots, not less that fifteen (15) feet from
a side street property line. All pools shall be at least twenty
(20) feet from a principal building on an adjoining lot.
e
NO private pool shall extend forward of the established front
building line.
The swimming pool shall be entirely enclosed by a protective fence
or other permanent structure not less that five (5) feet nor more
than six (6) feet in height. Such protective enclosure shall be
maintained by locked gates or entrances when the pool is not tended
by a qualified and responsible person.
B. Repeal Section 23.407(6).

FROM: CITY MANAGER
Enclosed are copies of the two bids we received this morning for the
Dump Truck/Snow Plow. They total:
Boyer Ford Truck $59,393.00
Lakeland Ford Truck $59,515.00
In checking over the bids we noticed that Boyer Ford Truck had not
complied with the specifications for the seat. A Bostrom West Coast
Driver's Seat was specified. Boyer specified as an exception, the
National Cush-N-Aire Lo Back Air Suspension Driver's Seat. If
Boyer had bid correctly, their bid would have been:
$59,393.00 + $126.O0 = $59,519.OO
That would make Lakeland Ford Truck the low bidder at $59,515.00
Delivery is for late January or February, 1985. That is why we are
bidding it at this time. We will need it badly for the 1985 snow
season.

Request: Lot-split'subdivision and lot
width variance.
Zoning Dist.: R-2
Applicant
James W. Rafferty
3005 Brighton Boulevard
Mound', MN. 55364
Phone: 472-6542
The applicant is requesting a waiver to the provisions of Chapter 22 Sub-
division regulations to subdivide a parcel of less than 5 acres. He is re-
questing to split up the lots to allow two building sites as follows: Lot 2
and the North 1/2 of Lots 35 and 3 (8,000 square feet of area)'a~d Lot 34
and the South I/2 of Lots 35 and 3 (8,000 square feet of area). The lot width
fronting on the improved right-of-way would be 60 feet and 20 feet respec-
tively. The Zoning Ordinance, Section 23.605.5(2) requires a minimum lot
width of 40 feet and a lot area of 6,000 square feet for the R-2 Zoning Dis-
trict. The applicant wanted to provide a 20 foot access to a building site
at the rear (West) off of the Brighton Commons. The Brighton Commons is used
to the South as a paved right-of-way; with houses on the block having building
setbacks from the back (West) lots. The present structure on Lot 2 has non-
conforming setbacks to the front (12.5 feet instead of 20 feet) and to the
South side (2.1 instead of 6 feet). The lots are all relatively, level with.
the lake elevation.
Comments:
Staff would like to mention that setting a structure to the West
and aligning a new structure with the average of the existing homes
should be required. Also, the 20 foot wide access should be suf-
ficient to provide emergency vehicle access to a site at the rear.
The present structure on Lot 2 would have a conforming side yard
of 22.1 instead of 2.1. If the lots were sold as platted, however,
Lot 3 and Lot 34 would be a legal building site of 8,000 square
feet as well as Lot 2 and 35. The existing st-ructure setback to
the front lot line would remain non-conforming.
The abutting neighbors have been notified. This will be on the City Council
Agenda May 22, 1984.

Cas~ No.'s 84-328 and 84-329 Lot-split subd~ivision and Lot Width Variance
for 3005 Brighton Boulevard - Lots 2, 3, 34 and 35, Block 15, Arden
Fred Kellogg represented James W. Rafferty.
The Building Official explained that actually the,se are 4 separate tax parcels
of land. right now. Mr. Rafferty is requesting to subdivide the land as follows:
1st parcel - he ~buld add N. ½ of 3 and N. ½ of 35 with Lot 2 and 2nd parcel -
add S. ½ of 3 and S. ½ of 35 with Lot 34 (8,000 square feet each parcel).. Mini-
mum lot area requirement is 6,000 square feet with 40 feet minimum width fronting
on an improved public right-of-way. She explained with this proposal, the width
of the lots fronting on the public right-of-way would be one at 60 feet and the
other at 20 feet. As the Zoning Ordinance stands, except for the O.H.M., she
would not have an established setback off of the back lots. 'There are homes
that have a setback off of the paved portion of Brighton Commons to the South,
but these lots do not abut a public right-of-way. The existing structure on~':
Lot 2 has 2 nonconforming setbacks. Discussed if lots sold as platted, property
line'could be moved to give Lot 2 and 35 enough sideyard so existing structure
would only have a front yard nonconformancY.
The City Manager stated they are asking for a ma]or variance and brought up that
under L.M.C.D. standards, they are not even eligible for a dock---have to have
25 feet or m~re on lakeshore (commons or private lakeshore). He feels it would
be setting a precedent to allow this manipulation of square footage and setbacks.
Request and options were discussed. If 4 feet of Lot 3 were put with Lot 2,
structure would only have front yard setback nonconformancy and the other parcel
would be within 10~ of the required 40 feet street frontage.
Jensen moved and Byrnes seconded a motion to recommend denial of the request.
The vote was unanimously in f~vor.
Mr. Kellogg will discuss this with Mr. Rafferty 'and let Staff know whether they
w 11 change ~heir reques~ before forwarding it to the City Council.

Board of Appeals Applicant
Case No. 84-336 Gary L. Shaleen
Location: 1687 Eagle Lane 1833 Shorewood Lane
Legal Desc.: Lots 10 & 11, Block 3, Mound, MN. 55364
Dreamwood Phone: 479-.1865
Request: 3 Foot Front Yard Setback Variance
Zoning Dist.: ~-3
The applicant is requesting to construct a lO by 12 foot deck on the south side
of a newly constructed home at 1687 Eagle Lane within 21 feet to the south prop-
erty line.
The Zoning Code Section 23.408(5)allows One front yard to.be reduced to 20 feet
for a lot Width of 51-80 feet on a corner lot of record. The R-3 zoning District
Section 23.610.5(3) allows a front yard setback to be reduced to 24 feet for a
lot depth of 61-80 feet on lots of record f. rom 30 feet for the R-3 district.
The setbacks should be 20 feet and 24 feet.
Comments:
If the variance is granted for the unenclosed deck, it should be upon
the condition that it would not.be enclosed without additional variance
approval.' The applicant would like to make it a useable area rather
a walkway/stoop area. The rear yard is only 17.77 feet to the property
line from the house. A l0 foot setback is required from any deck to
the rear. He is li'mited in lot area location for a deck. Also,
Three Points Boulevard is 3 feet higher than the southwest building
corner yard grade.
The abutting neighbors have been notified.
This item will be on the City Council Agenda for June 12, 1984.

Subject:
Lynwood Boulevard
Proposed Street Improvements
Mound, Minnesota
#7193
Dear Jon:
As requested we have investigated the possibilities of improving Lynwood
Boulevard from Commerce Boulevard to Belmont Lane. Lynwood Boulevard is
currently on the Municipal State Aid system; therefore, any improvements
undertaken could be paid for by State funds. Enclosed is a preliminary sketch
showing a suggested new alignment for Lynwood. This proposed alignment would
make it necessary for the City to acquire the bakery adjacent to the City owned
Anderson building, a small portion of Super Valu's parking lot and also a 10
foot strip along Lots 6 through 11.
After discussions with Mn/DOT District Engineer, we think the City would
have a very good chance of purchasing these properties with MSA funds. Since
the State's policy is to look at each situation and determine if the
right-of-way acquisition is necessary, the only way to get an answer is to
submit a council approved right-of-way plan. MSA funds would pay for onl~ the
~purchase...price, the City mus~ stand .~11 other~xpe~ 'such as aooraisal"fee~
attorney fees, closing costs e_~c.
We would recommend the proposed alignment for the following reasons, even
through the total project cost will be high due to the additional right-of-way
required. From a design and safety standpoint the westerly end should line up
with section of County Road 15 which goes west. This also holds true with the
east end at the intersection with Belmont Lane. In 1980 Lynwood was improved to
32 feet wide from 8elmont Lane to the east. We feel any new construction of
Lynwood to the west should line up with the existing street, therefore, the
State will probably require the additional 10 feet of right-of-way along lo~s 6
thru 11. If this new alignment is ultimately approved, the City would end up
with extra property which they would not need for these improvements. This
would include an area adjacent ~o the Town Square site.
3on Elam
May 22, 1984
Page Two
We have prepared a very preliminary cost estimate for the proposed
construction of Lynwood Boulevard, a copy of which is enclosed. As you will
note from this estimate we have not included any cost for the right-of-way
acquistion. We have also included a cost estimate for upgrading Belmont Lane to
MSA standards from Lynwood Boulevard south to County Road 15. This estimate
includes only additional signage for the Railroad crossing, not any mechanical
devices.
If the City wishes to proceed with~h__.~.b_~?oj~nf~ the first step would be t.t~.
.prep-~-re a. Tr£ght--O~"wa~-plan for apprOval by the City Council dna then Subwit %t
to the State,They would then determine if the properties to be acquired for
/~r~g~t-ot~way are eligible for payment from MSA funds. The next step would be
/ preparation of the construction plans.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
US.

Our latest request for a street light is for the end of Northern
Road. John Ewald did his usual good analysis of the situation
and brought forth the attached report. Although the reaction to
a light is mixed, the point that Officer Ewald confirms is that
the area is extremely dark and there is a need for a light in
the area. Thus, we would recommend accordingly.

Mound, MN 55364
Dear Council Members:
We have examined the financial statements of the City
of Mound, Minnesota for the year ended December 31, 1983,
and have issued our report dated April 6, 1984. We have
not performed any 'substantive auditing procedures subse-
quent to that date. As part of our examination, we made
a study and evaluation of the City's system of internal
accounting control to the extent we considered necessary
to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted
auditing standards. The purpose of our study and evalua-
tion was to determine the nature, timing and extent of
the auditing procedures necessary for expressing an opinion
on the financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
a system of internal accounting control. This responsibility
also includes judgments and estimates by management in con-
sidering the costs that will be incurred as opposed to the
benefits derived.
The following is a listing of areas that we feel warrant
your review.
Municioal Liouor Store
Gross Profit Margin
The gross profit on merchandise sales decreased nearly
three percent in 1983. This is a significant decrease.
- 2 -
We recommend this reduction in gross profit percentage
be carefully reviewed to determine the reasons for it.
Also, as part of an overall marketing strategy, the
Council should determine the gross profit percentage
that is consistent with its marketing plan.
Slow Moving Merchandise
During our testing of inventory valuation, we noted
several items which had very little, if any, activity
(either purchases or sales) during the current year.
We recommend the inventory be reviewed to determine the
amount of slower moving merchandise and determine whether
or not to continue to stock such merchandise.
Perpetual Inventory Records
Currently the liquor store uses a manual system to main-
tain its perpetual inventory records. This appears to
take a considerable amount of time to maintain.
We recommend the City review the possibility of computer-
izing the perpetual inventory records. It appears this
should result in better inventory management and also
increase operating efficiency.
Water Utility Fund
The Water Fund reported substantial operating income in
1983. This is the result of a major water user, not
terminating its operations within the City as originally
scheduled.
The operations have been terminated in 1984 and operating
income will be significantly reduced. 1984 water operations
should be carefully monitored to insure the existing rates
will be sufficient to cover expenses.
General Fund Operations
The General Fund fund balance increased by approximately
$180,000 in 1983. This is a positive change in the finan-
cial condition of the General Fund.
We recommend the City continue to improve the financial
condition of the General Fund to a point where the fund
_1 17
- 3 -
balance is $400,000 to $500,000. This should provide the
City with an adequate fund balance to provide for working
capital and cover revenue shortfalls or unanticipated
expenditures.
Liquor Store Transfers
During 1983 the City transferred over $107,000 out of the
Liquor Store Fund. This is much more than the net income
of the liquor store in 1983. Additional transfers out of
the liquor store above the net income of the store may
affect its ability to maintain adequate working capital
and inventory levels.
We recommend the City not budget transfers out of the
liquor store beyond its ability to generate net income.
Old Outstandin~ Checks
The bank reconciliation at year end indicated outstanding
checks in excess of $3,000 from May 1982 and prior.
We recommend the City review these items and determine
if they can be written off or must continue to be recorded
as outstanding checks.
General Fixed Assets
The City has not established its general fixed asset records
to date although some work has been done on them. We recommend
the City complete its fixed asset records which will provide
control over all quantities and costs. In addition, these
records will be valuable for insurance purposes and long
range planning.
This report is intended solely for the use of management
and council. The comments and recommendations in the report
are purely constructive in nature, and should be read in
this context.
Our examination would not necessarily disclose all weak-
nesses in the system, because it was based on selected tests
of the accounting records and related data.

RE: Audit ~lanagement Letter
You asked me to go over a few items in the management letter that Abdo,Abdo
and Eick sent.
MUNICIPAL LIQUOR STORE- I sent you a memo dated ~tay 1, 1984 regarding
the first quarter liquor earnings which you included in the council
packet. Most of the areas mentioned by the auditors should be covered
by the new store manager.
WATER UTILITY FUfID- Besides the first quarter statements that I already
gave to you, I don't have much to add at this point. We will need to continue
to monitor these funds up until budget time and through year-end to see
what kind of rates to expect for 1985.
GENERAL FU~ID OPERATIOIIS- Of course I agree with the auditors on this comment.
The $181,0OO increase in 1983 was a great shot in the arm for this fund. I
had $31,930 in cash at Itarch 31, 1984 versus a deficit cash balance of $141,615
at March 31,'.~983. On April 30, 1984 the cash is again in thelhole but with
continued fund balance increases, the General Fund could rely on its own
resources and maybe earn some interest to generate additional revenue for
itself.
LIQUOR STORE TRANSFERS- This is ouE next acea of concern, k.le budgeted
a 1984 transfer to the General Fund of $50,000 which will drain the Liquor
Fund cash reserves if made along with a transfer to pay for the 1984 Sealcoat
Project. You'll note that the cash balance was only $69,000 at December 31,
1983. Add to that income of about $30,000 for 1984 and we only have $99,000
in cash. ~4e budgeted transfers at about $1OO,0OO for 1984 which leaves the
Liquor Fund with no cash for 1985. ~lhen we do the 1984 budget projection
for the General Fund, we'll see if the General Fund can possib!y.b~eakCeven
without a $50,000 transfer. (~']e will have that additional $17,000 in Local
Governmental Aid which will help.)
'OUTSTANDING CHECKS- There are $3123.67 in outstanding checks from 1981.
I will write these off with the exception of one for $2200.00 tied up in
a lawsuit which Curt is handling. ~le monitor these on a current basis now
so they don't get so old and hard to research.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS- Once again the auditors commented on our lack of
fixed asset records. We do keep track of current additions and I
haven't forgotten about establishing records on old assets, but it seems
to be on the bottom of my priority list. If you or the Council feel
strongly about getting this done, I think we should consider hiring an
intern or someone to help.
If there are any questions regarding the letter or the report, let me know.

Dear Roger,
Enclosed is a copy of the Council Minutes concerning your Conditional
Use Permit. As you will note, it asked the Staff to initiate proceedings
to conduct a possible rovocation hearing regarding your Conditional Use
Permit.
In evaluating the conditions in our November 15, 1983, meeting, I have
noticed a number of the conditions have been met, i.e.
1. Limit hours the deck may be used from 11:O0 A.M. to 10:OO P.M.
2. Complete driveway entrance hard surfaced.
3. Install parking posts on north side of parking lot.
4. Existing trash dumpster placed on a concrete pad and screened with
a wooden fence enclosure.
5. The removal of the wooden pallets and replace with parking bumpers.
My most recent inspection though does confirm that a number of other
rather critical items have not been completed and the rear yard with
its weeds and pile of wood is rather an eyesore.
6. Under your permit you were to have submitted plans for a retaining
wall by May 1, 1984, and have the project completed by September 1,
1984.
7.Complete landscaping plan for the area near the deck and north
side of parking lot.
8. Grade backside of parking lot and remove fill to facilitate drainage.
Your temporary licenses were extended to May 15, 1984. They have been
extended on a month to month basis since then. This would include and
cover your restaurant license.
Page 2
Mr. Roger Rager
June ~2, ~9B4
We have granted you the benefit of the doubt repeatedly. Now I think it
is your turn to move on completing the required items as soon as possible,
starting with the submission of your May 1st final landscape plan and
retaining wall plan.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

CONTINUATION FROM OCTOBER 18TH MEETING;
THREE POINTS TAVERN
LICENSES FOR ROGER RAGER DBA
The City Manager explained that he has derived some conditions for the
issuance of the licenses from the reports of the City Planner, Police
Chief and the Building Official. Mr. Rater was present and asked to
present the Council with his answers to those conditions. The
conditions and answers were as follows:
"1 ·
Limit hours the deck may be used from 11:00 a.m. to 10:'00
p.m." .... Will. be complied with immediately.
"2.

for th~ location and the applicant will have had time to
submit final site improvement plans."---Work with the Police
Department and neighborhood residents to resolve potential
operational problems and submit plans in accordance with
Item #4 above.
· The Mayor asked the Council if they had any items to add. He then
asked the City Attorney if the City can condition the issuance of
licenses. The Attorney stated yes, he believed they could.
Mr. Rager stated that he and his planner have come up with an alter-
nate idea for a retaining wall that would be as effective but not as
costly. Their idea consists of regrading the slope to 3:1, mulching,
seeding with Crown Vetch or Ajuga ground cover, and stabilizing the
sYope and plant material with staked nylon mesh. The City Planner
stated that he would agree that this alternate idea could accomplish
basically the same thing as a retaining wall but would like to suggest
something other than Crown Vetch because it spreads too much. Mr.
Rager stated that he is open to suggestions on the type of ground
cover to be used.
The Council then discussed adopting an Evacuation Ordinance which~
would set a limit on the time patrons can stay on the property of a
licensed liquor establishment past closing time.
Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to approve the issuance
of temporary "On and Off Sale Beer Li.censes" and a set up license to
Ro. ger& Gatl Rager, dba Three Points Tavern. The licenses shall
· expire on May 15, '1984,to be reviewed by the Council at that time for
renewal. The licenses are issued with the above 9 conditions,
amending #4 on the retaining wall to the alternate suggestion by the
applicant. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
Charon moved and Paulsen seconded a motion instructing the City
Attorney to prepare an Evacuation Ordinance and bring it back to the
Council for adoption. The vote was unanimously in fagor. Motion car-
ried.
.. Charon moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to authorize the issuance
of the following temporary licenses to Roger & Gall Rager, dba Three
Points Tavern: Pool Table Licenses, Games of Skill Licenses, Juke Box
Licenses, Entertainment Permit, Restaurant License, Cigarette License.
Licenses to be reviewed May 15, 1983, for renewal. The vote was

Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded a motion to approve the

ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR NEW DUMP TRUCK
The City Manager explained that we have a dump truck with over
120,000 miles and it will need to be replaced. In checking, the
delivery on these dump trucks is 6 months and over behind the
time they are ordered so that by the time we order it will be
June and delivery would probably not be until after the 1st of
next year. The specifications were presented and the bid
date is suggested to be June 11, 1984.
Paulsen moved and Jessen Seconded a mo~Iv,, co approve the bid

THREE POINTS TAVERN (NOW THE'-LIGHTHOUSE) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The City Manager reported that only 2 of the 9 items that
conditioned his license renewals, for six months or until May 15,
1984, have been completed since November 15, 1983. The Building
Inspector wrote to Mr. Rager on March 29, 1984, asking what his
plans were as to complying with the conditions. She reported
that Mr. Rager thought since he wasn't serving beer anymore and
was using the facility strictly for a restaurant, that he did not
have to comply. He was informed he still needs a conditional use
permit to operate his restaurant in a residential area. The
%ouncil discussed the possibility of revoking his licenses which
are:
May 8, 1984
cigarette, restaurant, games of skill and pool tables.
Charon moved and Jessen seconded a motion to refer this item
back to the Staff to get together the necessary facts for a
due process hearing on Mr. Rager's licenses and contact Mr.
Rager to see if he can get the conditions complied with by
the next meeting. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
COUNTY ROAD 15 STREET LIGHT REPAI~
The City Manager explained that only 1 of the 8 old street lights
on County Road 15 is working properly. All Star Electric has
submitted a proposal to fix these lights at an estimated cost of
$4,000. They have already put 9 hours into checking out the
lights to determine what is wrong with each one.
Councilmember Paulsen asked the City Attorney if we needed two
quotations. He responded yes, if at all possible.
Councilmember Peterson asked if we could get a quotation which
would quote an hourly rate.
After discussion the Council asked the City Manager to obtain
another quotation and try to get an hourly rate.

Mr. Jon Elam

Mound, MN 55364
Dear Jon:
In 1976, LOGIS members adopted a change in by-laws to permit
cities to join LOGIS without the requirement for "buying in" to
all accumulated Class 2 software investment. The intent was to
reduce the barriers to admission. The mechanism adopted was
creation of membership categories of Operating Associate and
Franchise Associate. Candidate members were informed that as
Associate members they would have no buy-in charges, and all fees
would be the same as for full members. However, Operating
Associate members would not have an "official" vote on the Board
of Directors, and would not be eligible to serve on the Executive
Committee. Fifteen members have joined LOGIS in this manner to
supplement the previous twelve. Although there have been no
objections raised by the Operating Associate Members, the
inevitable result of an" ex officio" status is a low level of
involvement and perhaps a sense of being treated somewhat as a
"poor relation". Accordingly, members have sought a way to
remove this barrier to full participation. After reviewing the
governing documents and obtaining legal counsel, it has been
determined that policies can be modified to permit an upgrade in
membership by all but the newest members simply by request of the
member. The upgrade is based on the fact that your city has
invested $14,300 to-date in the consortium's software development
fund, and this amount exceeds the price as currently calculated
to "buy in" to the software assets of LOGIS. Thus, your city is
now eligible for full membership status.
To upgrade your membership, please do the following:
Present a resolution similar to the one enclosed to your
City Council for action (also enclosed is a suggested memo
explaining the matter to the Council).
I will be calling you in a few days to discuss this
matters.
Send a copy of the adopted resolution to LOGIS.
The matter will be presented at the next Board of
Directors meeting for a vote of the LOGIS membership.

Since r~y,

RESOLUTION REQUESTING AN UPGRADE OF MEMBERSHIP
FROM ASSOCIATE TO FULL MEMBERSHIP
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mound
ticipation in LOGIS as Associate Member; and,
authorized par-
WHEREAS, the City requested Associate Membership status to avoid
the unnecessary cost of matching prior member investments in
LOGIS to attain full status; and,
WHEREAS, the City was admitted to LOGIS as an Associate Member on
October 26, 1977; and
WHEREAS, recent changes to LOGIS policies permit Associate
Members to upgrade to full membership status with no change in
cost or liability to the City; and,
WHEREAS, such a change would be advantageous to the City by
permitting a strengthened vote in the affairs of LOGIS in the
form of a full vote on the Board of Directors and eligibility for
the City's representative to serve on the LOGIS Executive
Committee.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Mound that it requests a change from its membership in LOGIS from
Associate to Full Member status.
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
RE:
UPGRADE OF MEMBERSHIP IN LOGIS
Background
The City joined LOGIS in 1977 as an Operating Associate Member.
This membership category permitted us to participate in the
system without "buying in" to previous software development.
However, this membership category does not give us a full vote on
the Board of Directors. We have now been a member long enough so
that our annual contribution to the system's development and
improvement fund has, in effect, paid for full membership status.
All that is needed to receive full membership status is to accept
the upgrade. The change will not affect our present or future
obligations or commitments to LOGIS. It simply gives us a
stronger voice in the affairs of the consortium.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the attached resolution
upgrade of membership in LOGIS be adopted.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
The County has now begun to notify adjacent property owners that they
will be conducting "private sales" on some of the tax forfeit lots
we have reconveyed back to the County for that purpose.
With any good plan though, there is always a problem.
In the first case (PID #19-117-23 33 0139), the value placed on the
property by the Assessor is $500. The cost of the assessments since
forfeiture ($2,191.86) is added to the $500 making the final cost
approximately $2700.00.
The abutting property owners are interested in this property even at
$2700. The problem is that there are three older assessments from
before forfeiture totaling $4,145.38. We don't want to cancel these
assessments before :the sale because we wi.ll get 80% of the $500 the
County receives from the sale toward these assessments. We could
then legally reassess this property for the balance of the old
assessments. The property owners won't buy the property with the
prospect of all these added assessments.
Thus, the policy question is! Do we want to make a committment to
the people intending to purchase the property that we will cancel
the balance of the older assessments after they buy the lot.
Please understand that the majority of these lots are definitely
not worth all the extra assessments. Our goal thus far has been
to get the property back on the tax role and help a number of people
make their property conforming.
This questiOn has come up two or three times and some clear direction
would prove useful for us to tell potential buyers what our position
is.

PRESS RELEASE
It seems as if Mound and all 472 phone exchanges may have lost out
again. Everyone realizes by now that the Continental Phone Company
increased their rates last year from $21.90'to $28.30 for residential
service. Last month the State Public Utilities Commission handed
down their decision on these rates and set them at $24.45 per month.
From July 26, 1983 to June 28, 1984, every one of Mound's estimated
5,000 customers overpaid their phone bill by $3.85 per month. For
the eleven month period, this overpayment totaled $42.35 for each
residential customer.
It would be expected that Mound customers would receive a credit
of $42.35 on their future phone bill. Unfortunately, the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission did not set it that way. They voted to
refund everyone in the entire Continental Phone System the same
refund even though, individual exchange rates vary. In fact, in
some cases, people will get a refund even when the final rates
increased over the interim rates.
Worst of all the actual refund each customer in Mound will receive
is $.73 per month. A total of $8.03 instead of the actual credit
due of $42.35.
This difference is $34.32 per customer and will amount to a total
dollar loss of $171,6OO for Mound customers.
The City Council feels that this redistribution of Mound resident's
income t° other Continental customers is very unfair and has filed
an appeal on the P.U.C. decision to force them to look at the
inequity of their decision.

Re: Continental Telephone Refund
Dear Jon:
It seems that Mound has lost again in the Continental Telephone saga, this time
at the hands of the Public Utilities Commission.
I received a copy of a June 5 Commission Order directing Continental to refund
to every customer at an equal percentage of the interim billing amounts. Sounds fair
on its face, doesn't it.
Let me review the facts. Continental requested a $6.8 million increase, put a
$4.7 million increase into effect on 7-26-83, and was allowed a $4.0 million annual
increase by the Commission in Mar.ch, 1984.
Mound was paying $21.90 for residential service. On an interim basis, Mound
residential customers were paying $28.30 per month. Final rates have been approved
for Mound at $24.45 per month.
During the period of interim rates, Mound customers are paying $3.85 per month
over final rates.
Other customers in outstate areas paid interim rates that were lower than final
rates.
In other words, there are customers who were overpaying during interim rates
(Metro class including Mound) and customers who were underpaying (most outstate
customers).
The patently unfair aspect of the PUC Order is that all customers, whether
they overpayed or underpayed on an interim basis, will get an equal refund.
Obviously, if Mound customers were to get back what they overpayed, they
would get back $3.85 per month for each of the 11 months of overpayment (July 26,
1983 through June 28, 1984). ~nat would be a total refund of about $42.35 for each
residential customer.
WURST, PEARSON, HAMILTON, LARSON & UNDERWOOD
Mr. Jon Elam
June 8, 1984
Page 2
In actuality, what the PUC has ordered is a refund as I' calculate it of $0.73
per month for each Mound customer, or a total refund of $8.03.
The difference of $34.32 per customer (assuming 5,000 Mound customers) amounts
to a total dollar loss of $171,600 for the citizens of Mound.
The Commission has adopted a refunding policy of refunding the same percentage
to everyone, whether or not they overpayed during the period of interim rates. They
have also applied this refunding policy to the Peoples Gas refund, ordered in April of
1984. The taconite companies were adversely affected by the policy and have started
an appeal in the Court of Appeals.
My recommendation, given the magnitude of the error in this case, would be
to perfect an appeal (within 30 days of 6-5-84), and wait to see whether the taconites
prevail. Mound actually has a better case for reasons I will not outline here. I should
add that the other four Metro cities would have precisely the same complaint.
Let me know soon what your wishes are as some of the 30 days have already
slipp, ed away.
Very truly yours,
James D. Larson/c

Executive Secretary
NOTICE OF APPROVED P, ATES
The Minnesota Public Uti~itie~ Commission recently issued its
decision on Contel's rate increase proposal which has been pending since May
1983. l'ne new rates are effective with the enclosed bill.
In May 1983, Contel proposed a $7.2 million increase in annual local
service revenues. The Company later lowered its request to $6.8 million. On
July 26, 1983, the Company began collecting $4.7 million of its requested
increase with the understanding that if the Con;nission ultimately authorized a
lesser increase, the difference would be subject to refund with interest. The
Commission approved $4.0 million of our original request in March 1984.
Part of the authorized revenue increase will be obtained from
increasing the coin telephone rate from lO~ to 25~; another small part will be
gained from increases in service charges. The largest portion will result
from increases in basic local access line rates.
Effective with this change in rates, all customers in outstate
Minnesota exchanges will pay a uniform basic access line rate {exclusive of
EAS charges}, and all customers hiving toll-free access {Extended Area
Service} to the Twin Cities metropolitan area will pay a uniform rate.
Because the Comnission ordered consolidati°n of our former two outstate rate
groups into one, some customers will see a slight increase from the interim
level of rates, and others will experience a decrease. The interim rates you
and Contel's other customers have been paying were determined by increasing
the prior approved rates by the same percentage. The amount Contel
during the interim rate period will be returned t~F~
overcol lected
at an equal percentage of the interim period billing amounts. Minnesota law
requires that new approved rates be applied to future billing periods only,
and not used for calculating individual customer refunds. Your refund,
including interest, will appear as a credit on a future bill.
The approved rates and charges appear on the inside of this notice.
If you have any questions about the enclosed bill, please contact your local
Contel business office.

Enclosed is the response from Herb Klossner on my letter written
following our recent crosswalk accident.
I have read and re-read the letter and am just as confused on
how to respond as I was.the time before.
The gist of the letter, it seems to me, is that the County isn't
required to sign or paint crosswalks and enforcement is a local
problem (as is the painting). What we have is what we get unless
the City Council wants to install flashing lights (which we can
approve, because we will pay for them).
Finally, I should apologize to Dennis Hanson.
gather from this? If otherwise, let me know.

Dear Mr. Elam:
Within the reconstructed segment of CSAH 110 (Commerce Blvd) in the City of
Mound, painted crosswalks have been established at eight separate locations.
These are at Three Points Boulevard, Balsam Road, the Library entrance, Church
Street, in front of the Ben Franklin store, CSAH 15 (south junction), one half
block south of CSAH 15, and the Surfside entrance. Pedestrian crossing signs
with 45o down arrows have been placed for both northbound and southbound
traffic at the crosswalks at the Library entrance, in front of the Ben
Franklin store, and one half block south of CSAH 15. Advance pedestrian signs
are in place at the Three Points Boulevard crosswalk. In addition, pedestrian
crossing signs with an advisory plaque stating "Pedestrian Crossings Ahead"
have been placed bracketing the commercial area on CSAH 110. These signs are
located about 150 feet south of Grand View Drive for southbound traffic and
about one block south of CSAH 15 (just south of the shoe store) for northbound
traffic. This crosswalk marking and signing scheme was agreed upon and
implemented after two separate meetings and field observations attended by
former Police Chief Bruce Wold, and Wayne Matsumoto and Brad Larson of our
staff. These meetings took place in the fall of 1981 and spring of 1982.
Since that time, our records do not indicate any correspondence from the city
concerning discontent, on the ci.~y~s part, with the crosswalk painting or
signing on CSAH 110.
Neither the law, nor the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
demand that "every" potential pedestrian crossing location be signed nor even
painted. This decision is at the discretion of the local jurisdiction.
Hennepin County policy has long been to permit the local community to decide
where painted crosswalks are appropriate and to delegate the maintenance of
the painted crosswalks to the community. The county will, at the request of
the community, make the initial installation to set the appropriate and legal
pattern. Upkeep is then the obligation of the community.

At the House of Moy on CSAH 15, pedestrian crossing signs and 45o down arrows
were installed for both directions of traffic sometime ago. Our crews noted
last week that the sign for westbound traffic had been cut off at the sidewalk
line as the post stub was all that was evident. This sign will be replaced as
soon as possible.
The question of pedestrian safety at the CSAH 15/CSAH 110 signalized
intersection has long been discussed. These discussions predate, by a
considerable margin, the recent reconstruction project. I recall having the
intersection studied at least twice at the request of former City Manager
Leonard Kopp. From our perspective, there appears to be two problem areas of
concern in crossing pedestrians at this intersection. First is a
misunderstanding of the operation of the WALK-DONT WALK indications. This is
not uncommon among pedestrians and for this purpose, our department prepared
the attached statement of explanation. This explanation, in a condensed
version is available on decals which may be placed on the signal pole itself
for the pedestrian edification. These will be placed on the poles at the CSAH
15 and CSAH 110 as soon as work schedules permit.
The second problem noted is that westbound left turning vehicles tend to take
over the intersection at times, abusing the pedestrian rights in the south
crosswalk. Under these conditions, the turning vehicle must, by law, yield to
the pedestrian crossing with the WALK indication. This conflict has been
observed to occur in the late afternoon when industries in the area release
their employees. Enforcement of pedestrian rights, in this situation, would
go a long way in solving the problem.
We are of the opinion that conditions do not warrant an exclusive pedestrian
phase at this intersection as suggested in your letter.
Flashing amber lights at the Ben Franklin store, the former high school, and
House of Moy crosswalks could be considered upon official request from the
Mound City Council. The close proximity of these crossings to the traffic
signal at CSAH 15/CSAH 110 and to the railroad signal may preclude their use,
however, because of potential conflicting commands of the two devices. You
may recall that the county proposed to install a median safety island in
conjunction with the CSAH 110 project to provide pedestrian refuge on CSAH 110
at the Ben Franklin crosswalk. However, this proposal was rejected by the
city council.
Jon, the goals of the city and the county are the same; that is, to provide a
safe and efficient roadway facility for all, whether it be the motorist, the
pedestrian, or the cyclist.
I am disappointed that you have chosen to castigate Dennis Hansen in public.
~Hennepin County has established an enviable traffic safety record and has

TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPERATION AT THE CSAH 15 & CSAH 110 INTERSECTION
The City of Mound and area residents have inquired or expressed concern as
to the operation of the traffic signals at the intersection of CSAH 15 and
CSAH 110. Of particular concern, has been the function of the pedestrian
crossing indications - the WALK - DON'T WALK signals.
From the pedestrian's aspect, it may be advantageous to examine each
pedestrian indication by outlining exactly what each displayed command
represents and by explaining how the pedestrian attempting to cross the
street is expected to react. First of all, as you are probably aware, the
intersection is equipped with pedestrian push buttons. The appropriate push
button must be pressed in order to obtain the desired WALK indication. If
the button is not pressed, the signal controller will omit the WALK phase
and the WALK indication will not appear. After the appropriate button is
pressed, it may take up to 30 seconds or more before your WALK indication
appears. This is because the signal may be operating in another phase at
the time of button actuation and must complete that phase prior to
responding to your command. Following is a brief description of each
pedestrian indication:
WALK: You may leave the curb and begin to walk with caution in
the direction of this signal.
FLASHING DONIT WALK: If you are crossing the street when the
DON'T WALK begins to flash, you may continue to cross at a normal
pace to the opposite curb. If you have not yet started to cross,
do not enter the street; stay at the curb, press the appropriate
pedestrian signal button, and wait for the next WALK indication to
appear.
DON'T WALK (Steady Signal): Do not enter the street in the
direction of this signal. Again, press the appropriate button and
wait for the WALK indication. Crossing times in all four
crosswalks at this intersection have been established as follows:
The WALK indications are displayed for 15 seconds and the DON'T
WALK flashing times are set at 14 seconds. The DON'T WALK flash
is followed by an amber vehicle clearance interval of 3.5 seconds.
This affords the pedestrian with a minimum of 15 seconds + 14
seconds + 3.5 seconds = 32.5 seconds to cross the street in the
crosswalks prior to the release of conflicting traffic. This
timing is substantially longer than at other intersections and
allows the pedestrian ample time to reach the far curb even at a
relatively slow walking pace.
Should there be any questions or further concerns about this matter,
please call the Traffic Division at 935-3381.

Hatching Small Businesses
Business incubators are a hot topic in local economic development circles. Here are some
of the conclusions from a recent survey of some 50 incubators.
By Candace Campbell
Small, homegrown bus~esses are becoming the focus of local economic develop-
ment efforts. Whether the nun'xtring party is a city agency, a chamber of commerce,
a private corporation, or a community group, the recipient is often an indigenous,
fledging business rather than an established business recruited from elsewhere.
What a start-up business often receives is space in a 'business incubator,' a building
that offers low rent, centralized services, flexible leases, and management advice--
thereby acting as a hatchery for new businesses and new jobs.
In the past year we have studied several dozen of these business incubators around
the country. Most of them are publicly owned or operated, and half of the total have
been in operation less than a year. Most incubators arose from a collaboration between
local government, universities, and private corporations.
Georgia Tech's Advanced
Technology Development Center
occupies a nero buildin8 (right].
More typical is the Fulton-Carroll
Center for Industry in Chica8ol in
three old warehouses.
Financing
Almost all of the incubators began in existing, often vacant, buildings--including of-
fice buildings, warehouses, schools, post offices, shopping centers, and storefronts. The
Akron, Ohio, office of economic development found its incubator building, an old
warehouse, after surveying 26 vacant and underused buildings. In several other cities,
abandoned factories have been donated as incubator sites.
The purchase and rehabilitation of these structures have been funded by a variety of
government loans and grants, including such sources as: the federal Economic Develop-
ment Administration, the Appalachian Regional Commission, Urban Development Ac-
tion Grants, and Community Development Block Grants. Some have been paid for by
state or locally issued industrial revenue bonds. A few resulted from the donation or
bargain sale of buildings and property by private corporations.
In several of the incubator projects we surveyed, Emergency Jobs Bill and Job Train-
ing Partnership Act funds were used to provide labor to rehabilitate the buildings. In
other cities, low-interest renovation loans are available to tenants.
We have found that business incubators are like mother hens. They want their chicks
to hatch, grow, and leave the nest. After a few years, successful new businesses are asked
to pay market-rate rent or to leave the incubator building to make room for others. These
incubators are set up so that it is easier to leave the nest than enter it. Business plans
are screened, and potential tenants often must be interviewed by seasoned business peo-
ple before being accepted.
The industrial incubator develol~d by the city of Akron, Summit County, and the
University of Akron works this way. Akron's economic development office manages
the facility but prospective tenants' applications are reviewed by a board with represen-
tatives from the city, the county, ~,nd the Private Industry Council's job traininF
gram. Applicants also are interviewed by representatives of the Small Business In,
of the university's business school, the Service Corps of Retired Executives, aha the
Regional Development Board.
'Each company is evaluated based on its business plan, financing, and job potential,'
explains Greg Balbierz, the project manager. 'The aspiring new businesses are then given

a punch list of things to do before admittance." Balbierz views the business plan as the
start-up firm's 'sweat equity--the blueprint, backbone, and foundation of the business.'
Flexibility in the leasing and management of space is typical of most incubator
buildings. At the Bennington County Industrial Corporation's incubator in North Ben-
~nington, Vermont, bigger operations are offered longer leases while smaller ones are
often rented on a month-to-month basis. This arrangement allows the smaller firms to
be relocated withln the incubator as larger firms expand. 'the larger the number of jobs
at stake, the longer the lease,' says BClCs former executive director John Williamson
{now head of the Springfield, Massachusetts, Economic Development Corporation}.
Flexibility also means that when a business falls on hard times but the future looks
promising, leases are renegotiated downward and the rent is spread out over time or
deferred until cash flow picks up again. June Lavelle, director of Chicago's Fulton--Carroll
Center for Industry, says, 'We're out to encoth-age people to go into business without
- slaughtering them; therefore, we are very flexible.'
But Lavelle and other managers of business incubators also speak of running the in-
cubator itself in a businesslike fashion. Jerry Mahone, director of the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Insfitute's incubator program in Troy, New York, says of the fledging en-
trepreneurs, 'You must be able to hold their hands when needed and give them a push
when they need pushing.' Balancing flexibility and skill in business management ap-
peaxs crucial to the success of an incubator.
Centralized services
The centralized services available in-the incubators help to reduce the overhead costs
of the new businesses located there. These services may include telephone answering,
typing, copying, data processing, bookkeeping, and legal assistance. Some incubators
provide computers and software specially designed for small businesses, bulk mailing
equipment, WATS lines, TELEX, satellite communications, laboratories, classrooms,
furniture, office equipment, libraries, conference rooms, and lunchrooms.
Some of these services and facilities are included in the rent while others are offered
for a fee. For example, tenants in the Control Data Corporation's Business and
Technolo~/Centers may use the centers' conference rooms without charge eight hours
a month. Most of the other services available in Control Data's centers are offered at
market rate.
In all, 432 people work for 25
companies in the Fuffon-Carroll
~cubator. Th~ center is owned by the
Industrial Council of Northwest
Chicago, which is trying to get the ar~a
de. dgnated a~ an enterprise zone.
There is some disagreement among incubator managers on the need !
vices. }une Lavelle says the Fulton-Carroll Center in Chicago developed centralized se
vices only after tenants expressed a strong demand for them. 'Only the basic type
'service is important,' she adds, noting particularly phone answering and
secretarial assistance.
Overall, the most common comment from those involved in business incubation
that ~he people are more important than the building.' Thus a close rapport
the building's managers and its tenants is vital.
The incubator's unique social atmosphere encourages trading relationships.

Similarly, Chicago's Fulton-Carroll Center has five or six tenants that buy
each other.
l~esident managers or msn_agement teams help with business plans, product
ment, marketing, personnel, ~nd the technical aspects of the incubator's
Many incubators strive to maintain a mix of new and established businesses, since
best source of advice for new businesses often is other established firms. Another
vantage is purely financial; the higher rents from established busin
the start-ups.
As with a mother hen, an incubator's organizers must have the ability to meet
diverse needs of its fledgings. Says John Toon of Georgia Tech's incubator: 'It takes
than a building with low rents. It takes business development people, it takes
lng people, and it takes a close relationship with the companies."

With the exception of those that have established venture 'capital funds, most business
' incubators act as brokers between new businesses and investors. Sometimes this means
simply providing introductions to lenders and venture capitalists; other times it means
developing proposals and packaging loans to suit particular needs. The Georgia Tech
center sponsors an annual two-day venture capital conference at which incubator
tenants and others can meet Georgia investors.
Baby-sitting
In most locations, small businesses can take advantage of the Small Business Ad-
ministration's low-interest loans through a business development center. The
SBA-backed Small Business Investment Corporations {SBICs} and Minority Enterprise
Small Business Investment Corporations IMESBICs} also provide equity capital in some
areas. In addition, several states and local'govemments have developed small business
revolving loan funds for new businesses. These local sources of financial assistance, if
not offered directly by the organization that manages the incubator, are often located
Within the incubator building itself.
In Chester, Pennsylvania, the city's development 6ffice can provide incubator tenants
and other small businesses with up to $15,000 in low-interest loans from a revolving
loan fund. The development office controls disbursement of the loan by endorsing the
checks to the business owner and each of its suppliers during the life of the loan. John
Fitzgerald, the director of the development office, explains, 'You have to baby-sit them.
These entrepreneurs have no concept of accounting. If they are in the red for r~i~e
months and you find out on the tenth, it's too late. To help new businesses you hay,
intrude into their business for the first few months.'
This intrusion sometimes takes the form of periodic reviews, which are required ua
the lease agreements. During these reviews, the progress of each firm is weighed against
its business plan and job targets. If a firm fails to meet the targets, its lease can be ter-
minated for cause.
The Innovation Center at Ohio University in Athens negotiates an equity position in
each firm along with the tenancy agreement. The center can maintain its part-ownership
forever but offers the right of first refusal to the business should the cergler want to sell
its shares.
Public efforts
Creating jobs by creating employers is the main objective of publicly sponsored
business incubators. Their organization and management are centered in city economic
development departments, urban renewal authorities, and regional planning and
development commissions. With some exceptions, public incubators tend to shy away
from high-technology tenants and toward light assembly, manufacturing, and sometimes
retail and service businesses.
One of the oldest publicly sponsored incubators is Buffalo's Incubator Industries
Building, which was constructed by the city's urban renewal agency in 1978 with the
aid of a $2.3 million Economic Development Administration grant. It offers no central-
ized services, but the tenants do have acce.ss to city loans and assistance programs.
More common than new construction is the conversion of existing vacant buildings.
The East End Manufacturing Center in Chester, Pennsylvania, for example, is in an old
knitting yarn factory, converted with the aid of S 1.3 million in EDA and Community
Development Block Grant funds.
St. Paul, home of two Control Data business and technology centers, has just opened
its first public incubator as part of its 'Homegrown Econgmy Project.' The idea is to diver-
sify the local economy by encouraging the growth of light industry, thus reducing the
amount of goods and services imported from outside the city. This public incubator is
unusual, by the way, because the city does not own the building. Instead, it has worked
out a deal with the owner-developer of a recently renovated, 60,000-square-foot building
in the Midway industrial area. In return for a city-financed low-interest mortgage, the

developer has agreed to provide incubator space and also to use his profit to renovate
other property in the same area. "From the city's perspective, it's a good deal,' salts
Richard Mahony, who directs the Homegrown Econo.my Project. 'We get a building rent-
free, although not cost-free, and we get our money back in 10 years."
Nonprofit agencies
Many of the nonprofit incubators target development to a particular industrial area
or neighborhood. The organizers are industrial development associations, chambers of
commerce, and community organizations with broad local support and a good real estate
development track record.
The Bennington County IVermont} Industrial Corporation, for example, has been
developing real estate since 1957. In 1978, the group bought an old mill complex,
renovated it in two years at a cost of $1.2 milLion [paid for by an EDA grant and state
loans}, and offered space to small businesses. The building presently houses 22 firms,
ranging from a company that refashions laboratory beakers into gourmet cookware to
a firm that manufactures Teflon-coated fabric {some of which was used to cover the
Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis). Another tenant is a sheltered workshop for the
mentally retarded, which provides lunch service for the buildings tenants. The industrial
corporation's former director, John Williamson, estimates that 250 jobs have been
created at the center since 1978.
Another example, also mentioned above, is the Fulton-Carroll Center for Industry,
o~ghwas started by the Industrial Council of Northwest Chicago in late 1980. Presently
g its 340,000 square feet to 25 businesses, the center has created a net increase
jobs and graduated seven firms in three years. Its director, June Lavelle, estimates
that 50 percent of the jobs created are low-skilled and the rest semi-skilled.
The universities
While universities have long owned science and technology parks, business incubators
are a newer technique for retaining prominent professors and attracting quality graduate
students. The goal of most university-related incubators is to transfer basic research find-
ings to the development of new products and technologies, and many university in-
cubator businesses are, in fact, spin-offs of academic research projects. New firms are
Begin at Home
Community-based, nonprofit develop-
ment organizations--experienced in
creating local housing, business, and job
opportunities--also may have the ideal
background for creating business
incubators.
Incubators are usually small enough to
be handled by an experienced community
development organization. Moreover,
developing incubators calls for precisely
the same skills that most community
groups already have: developing property
lepressed market, obtaining subsidies
ep rents low, generating community
support, providing ongoing assistance to
small businesses, financing, and arranging
for support services.
Two examples of community-initiated
incubator projects illustrate this capacity:
Wayne Avenue, Philadelphia. The
Southwest Germantown Community
Development Corporation of Philadelphia
{SGCDC} began as a housing development
organization, buying and renovating aban-
doned buildings, and selling them to local
residents. In 1981, increasingly concerned
about the neighborhood's poor business
climate and lack of jobs, the group began
buying up empty storefronts along four
blocks of Wayne Avenue, where two-thirds
of the property was empty or underuscd.
With the aid of a $100,000 Columbia
Broadcasting System grant, SGCDC
bought and rehabilitated 12 storefronts
over a period of two years. The average
purchase price was $7,500. Thc properties
then were made available to commercial
firms at Iow rents. Whenever possible,
SGCDC tried to sign up businesses that
either added a missing service to the area
or generated jobs and street traffic. Several
of the apartments above the stores were
rented to the business owners or tenants.
In return for the low rent and free
business assistance, the businesses must
agree to hire local residents "whenever
commercially feasible." This means that
SGCDC can terminate a lease if a business
hires a nonresident when an equally
qualified resident has been referred. The
firms also are required to join the mer-
chants association and to maintain their
building's facade and abutting sidewalk.
Ten entrepreneurs have opened
businesses as a result of this project, half
of them from thc neighborhc~od. Of the 20
people they have hirect~ 15 arc from the

often specifically attracted to university incubators because they are the source of in-
novations in the biomedical fields, computers, and robotics.
Perhaps the oldest of the university incubators is the University City Science Center
in Philadelphia. Adjacent to the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel
University, this 1.2-million-square-foot complex is owned by a consortium of 28 univer-
sities, colleges, and medical schools in the Delaware Valley. Developed in a burned-
out West Philadelphia neighborhood in 1963, the center now employs 6,000 people.
A recent study showed that a third of the jobs required a college degree and a third an
advanced degree; another third were reserved for those with a high school education
or less. About a quarter of the employees are residents of the neighborhood.
The corporations
Private corporations establish business incubators for two reasons: the chance to make
a profit and the chance to contribute to the community. For example, Control Data,
which has developed its business and technology centers in some 20 cities, both in the
U.S. and abroad, sells computer, library, and secretarial services. 'Control Data has made
the development of new businesses part of its product line," says company represen-
tative Sharon O'Flannigan.
Another private-sector developer of incubators is Loren Schultz, president of
Technology Genters International, Inc., who has five 'technology enterprise centers'
in Operation and six in the development stage. Like other incubators described in this
article, TGI offers below-market rents, .centralized services, and equipment rental in
its incubator buildings. An unusual feature is TCI's "champion"--a subcontractor with
extensive business experience who helps incubator firms with business plannin
financing. Initial consultation is free, but follow-up assistance is on a retainer or fee
Each of Schultz's centers has a locally developed venture capital fund of $3 to $5 million
and the possibility of financing through TCI's larger master venture fund.
One of Schultz's newest centers is in a former high school in Minneapolis two blocks
from the University of Minnesota campus. This incubator is unusual in that the building
will be operated as a cooperative and the mix of enterprises will include two dance com-
panies, a sculpture school, and 30 to 40 high-tech firms.
In Rockford, Illinois, where unemployment has hovered around 20 percent the last
The SGCDC effort has not been without
problems. Sales have been slow, and ar-
son, vandalism, and burglary on the strip
have made the marketing job more dif-
ficult. There also have been two business
failures in the SGCDC-owned properties,
which has led the staff to be more hard-
nosed about prospective tenants. Finally,
there is the general problem that most
retail businesses do not, as a rule, create a
large number of jobs, especially in poo~:
areas. This situation stimulated the
SGCDC to begin its second incubator
project--this one an industrial incubator.
The new incubator will be in a five-
building complex that is being bought by
a for-profit subsidiary of SGCDC in part-
nership with a local businessman. Because

percent interest in the first year, increas-
ing to seven percent after most of the space
has been leased. An additional $110,000
for renovation will be sought from founda-
tions. Two of the buildings will be sold to
provide capital for operating expenses.
East New York {BrooklynJ.For over a
year, the Local Development Corporation
of East New York has been working close-
ly with the Public Development Corpora-
tion of New York City (PDC} and with In-
terface, a nonprofit research and training
organization, to convert a four-floor,
20,O00-square-foot industrial building in a
badly deteriorated part of Brooklyn into a
business incubator. They hope to have the
building operating by mid-1985.
The building is city-owned and will re-
main so under current plans. Specific leas-
ing terms have yet to be negotiated be-
tween the LDC and the city. Both groups
are applying to the city and state and
federal sources for nearly $700,000 in
renovation funds.
Five to seven businesses at a time will be
accommodated in the incubator. A three-
year rental and occupancy cycle will be
followed. In the first year, rents will be set
at $1.80 per square foot--about 10 percent
below the market rate in the area. In the
second and third years, the rents will in-
crease 10 percent annually.
After the third year, the businesses will
be expected to move out, although it is
hoped that they will stay in the neighbor-
hood. A new set of tenants will move in,
and the cycle will continue.

~mancial assistance itself, but it has donated space in the incubator to the local business
development agency.
Barber-Colernan's approach may signal a trend if other corpgrations pick up on the idea
and offer surplus manufacturing space for use as business incubators. John Dixon, the
incubator coordinator, already has met with corporate representatives from two other
states considering similar centers.
· Advice'
While it's Clear that most incubators are still in the fledging stages, their early ex-
periences offer some suggestions to potential developers:
· Evaluate the potential entrepreneurs. Is there a market for their ideas and products?
· Compare the cost of renovating an old structure with the price of building new.
· Enlist qualified people with business experience to manage the incubator.
· Select a mix of new and established businesses.
· Don't waste money on unnecessary services.
· Avoid conflicts by developing explicit lease agreements, but be flexible.

On December 29, 1983 the Governor's Commission to Review the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, chaired by John Boland,
issued its Report. One recommendation made by that Commission
was that an Independent Management Study of the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission be conducted. The MWCC, during January,
February and March, 1984, closely reviewed this Report and acted
on its many recommendations.
Attached for your information is a copy of Commission Resolution
No. 84-108, dated March 20, 1984, which states the position of
the Commission on the recommendations that were made.
As you can see, the Commission has endorsed the conduct of an
Independent Management Study. The Commission fUrther acted on
May 15, 1984 directing that the Budget and Administration Committee
of the Commission prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the conduct
of such a Study. At a special meeting on May 24, that Committee
passed a resolution calling for the establishment of a task force
to develop a Request for P~oposal for the management study. The task
force will consist of representatives of the State Departments of
Administration and Finance, the Metropolitan Council, the Association
of Metropolitan Municipalities, and the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission. It is the goal of the Committee to develop an RFP for
consideration at the Commission's June meeting.
Please be assured that the Commission is moving forward to conduct
an Independent Management Study in an expeditious manner. We will
keep you apprised of the Commission activities in this regard and
look forward to working with you or a representative of the munic-
ipalities served by the'Commission toward this effort.
If you have any questions, you can reach me at 222-8423.
Sincerely yours,~
Louis J. Breimhurst

1983 Budget Underspent by $5.4 [ qiili°n
The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC)
cut $5.4 million out of the 1983 operating budget. This is
approximately 7% of the total budget and also the largest
underrun in the Commission's history.
The underspending of the budget was due to the fol-
lowing:
· New rigid controls on expenditures by Commissioners.
· A new computerized inventory control system.
· Recommendations by a committee of the St. Paul
Chamber of Commerce on motor vehicle expenditures.
· More efficient operations due to the new sludge pro-
cessing facilities.
· Staff recommendations that have resulted in substantial
savings, especially on electrical costs and an in-house
waste recovery system.
· In some areas, lower prices than anticipated.
There were eight principal areas in.which the 1983
Budget was underspent.
AMOUNT
CATEGORY UNDERSPENT
Wages and Benefits $ 385,000
Contracted Services--Legal 140,000
Contracted Services--Maintenance and
Operations 525,000
Materials & Supplies 1,150,000
Motor Vehicle Expense 150,000
Utilities 1,375,000
Chemicals 1,550,000
Capital Outlay 125,000
TOTAL $5,400,000
The $385,000 saved in wages and benefits was accomp-
lished by reshuffling some positions, not filling others, and
cooperation between our employees and their union rep-
resentatives.
Contracted legal services were reduced by $140,000
through close evaluation of legal expenditures. The hiring
of an in-house staff attorney, who manages the provision
of legal services from contract vendors, also contributed
to the underrun.
Heat from the new sludge incinerators is used in the
treatment process in lieu of oil or natural gas. This has
resulted in savings in excess of $1 million.
The St. Paul Chamber of Commerce provided loaned
executives to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commis-
sion to study and recommend ways to curb motor vehicle
expenditures. These recommendations were instituted by
the Commission resulting in savings of $150,000.
A computerized inventory control system was installed
and a central warehouse established. Existing stocks were
drawn down and new purchases limited. A savings of
$1,050,000 resulted.
The cost underruns will result in credits to most user
communities amounting to a total of $4.7 million. The
credit will be applied toward their 1985 cost allocation
billings.
100% Compliance Achieved
in 1953
A record annual volume of 100 billion gallons of waste-
water was conveyed and treated in 1983 by the Metro-
politan Waste Control Commission. The fourteen waste-
water treatment plants achieved a 99 percent compliance
in meeting the treated wastewater discharge standards in
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permits. Major pollutants were reduced 65 percent
(continued on page 2)
Our web-fooled friends are enjoying springtime scenery at the ~4etro Plant.
100% Conformance (continued)
beyond requirements in NPDES permits. A record level of
)roved air pollution control was attained for sludge
neration facilities.
Metro Plant met all of the effluent limitations in its
NPDES permit in 1983, receiving a performance award
from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
Effluent quality improved to 10 mg/1 BOD (Biochemical
Oxygen Demand) and 9 mg/1 TSS (Total Suspended
Solids) for a flow of 224 mgd. Applicable monthly effluent
standards were 24 mg/1 BOD and 30 mg/1 TSS.
The last major phase of the $300 million expansion pro-
gram at the Metro Plant was completed in 1983. New facil-
ities for the incineration of sludge, recovery of heat from
incinerators in the form of steam for reuse, auxiliary steam
production, air pollution control of flue gases, heat drying
of sludge for recycle, dry incinerator ash handling by con-
veyance, storage and removal, and computerized mater-
ials inventory and maintenance management were put
into operation.
The new facilities moved the plant to become a
modern, efficient, flood-protected, energy conserving
operation, projected to meet the minimum treatment
standards necessary for the metropolitan area through the
year 2000.
There are thirteen treatment plants other than the
Metro Plant that treat about 18 percent of the wastewater
volume processed in the metropolitan system each year.
In 1983 five of these plants had no violations of limitations
in NPDES permits (Bayport, Stillwater, Empire and Savage
:eiving performance awards), and only four had more
in one violation. The Hastings Plant is undergoing an
expansion program and was the only plant with any signif-
icant compliance problems during 1983.
These plants had excellent performance, as demon-
strated by the average effluent quality achieved: 9 mg/,1
BOD and 10 mg/1 TSS in 1983. These figures compare with
average effluent quality standards of 24 mg/1 BOD and 28
m§/1 TSS.
New sludge dewatering facilities were installed and
pJaced into operation at the Seneca Plant (the second
largest treatment plant in the system). Projections indicate
more than a two-thirds reduction in fuel use for sludge
incineration and more than a 50 percent reduction in
chemical costs for removing water from sludge. The in-
creased sludge processing capacity will enable sludge
from the Blue Lake Plant to be mainly processed at the
Seneca Plant rather than at the Metro Plant.
Below are two charts showing a summary of the 1983
treatment plant effluent quality and NPDES permit com-
pliance for the past .5 years. The Commission has a record
it can' be proud of in these two areas.

Sewer installed
Have you passed by Lake Calhoun the last few months
and wondered what the construction work going on was
all about? The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
was installing a new steel siphon sani[ary sewer to replace
the original one which was installed in 1900 and occasion-
ally overflowed into Lake Calhoun.
"This is an in-house project, done entirely by MWCC
staff. It consists of a new twin 18-inch diameter siphon
barrel, 150 feet long, under the channel connectin8 Lake
Calhoun and Lake of the Isles; two hundred sixty-one feet
of 24-inch reinforced concrete pipe, and five new man-
holes, most of which were installed on Minneapolis Park
Board property," Ken Foster, Design and Construction
Resident Engineer, stated.
The need for the project became apparent after it was
learned than an existin8 twin 12-inch diameter siphon
would plug up with debris and cause blockage of sewage
flow upstream. The reason for the blockage in the existing
line was twofold. First, tke old 24-inch tine is a "combina-
tion'' sewer which handles storm runoff as well as sewage.
This allows debris to eh[er the line durin8 rainy periods.
Second, ~he old 12-inch siphon was constructed with 90
degree bends which would all6w the plugging to occur in
the upstream bends and force raw sewage to drain out by
a bypass pipe into the lake. With the larger diameter
siphon (18-inch) and smooth radius bends of only 35
degrees, the new siphon should not have sewage backup
prQblems.
"To comply with Minneapolis Park Board requirements,
the project had to be constructed during the months of
November, December and January to minimize inter-
ference with the park users," said Lanny Bakalyar, Con-
struction Inspector.
However, severe weather and unforeseen problems
caused the delay of operation completion near]y a month.
Final cleanup and restoration is scheduled to be complete
by mid-May of 1984. Construction cost is $156,662.

Last month, the-Board of Directors heid a.special"mid-year mini-retrea~
~o reassess this year's goals. The D~ec~ors felt that since our WestonKa
area is definitely in'a: period of change dna growth ~hat it behooves the
Chamber ~o frequently review its services and goals"so that we are best
meeting our members changing needs..Three prominent, areas of concern were
iaenti/'ied: . .. '~"
l.) Concern: The proposed re-~eveiopment'of Cty. Rd. ~/ i5.
Resoultion: 'Steve Wood will ac~ as the Chamber's liason person
on this prooect. He will .Keep in touch with all government Oodles involved
and Keep us informed on the project's progress.through the "Chamber Waves"
and meetings. At this t~me the Chamber's goals regarding the re-aeve±opmen~
of 15 are ~o Keep the prooec~ moving forward, to make sure that our member-
ship is well informed so that they can voice concerns intelligently and plan
their business'strategies acco. rdingly, and ~o have an end result that is
esthetically pleasing and as practical as possible.
2.) Concern: The need to continue expanding customer awareness of
the quality of Goods and Services available in the Westonka marketplace.
Resolution: Continue to strengthen and develop the re~ai!
councils, 'create more marketing tools such as the Westonka Business Directory,
Chic is currently working on a new idea for distribution to new ares resi-
dents, Remember, we have over ~00 new residential units currently being
readied for occupancy! Hopefully, this p~ogram will be ready for participation
by early July. Watch your mail for more details! -
3.) Concern:' Long term business develpomen~.
Resolution: Of course this Chamber s~,~]ongly supports the need
n healthy business climate within our ¢~6~munity. I'n-'this perioo of wnaz
.seem-~ like a constant stream of remodelinfjs, final.closings, new projects,
and grand-re-openinings and openings, it is ~ome~imes hard to get one's
bearings. The Board feels that this Chamber ~ust establish a ~.~ell-define~,
,yet flexible program for encouraging ano welcoming, new businesses to the
area, The Board hopes that the member~llip will convey, their thoughts anO
concerns on how this sub0ect should b~st be approached ~ither to them per-
sonally or to the Chamber office. We are looming at the possibility of
establishing a standing Business Development Council which after a few
organizational meetings would act at the Board's request~on specifid issues
in this potentially far-reaching.and sometimes tec~ical area.
The general concensus og the Directors present at 'the meeting was that over
the last few years, the WestonkaLChamber has achieved its first set of
goals which were to create a consistant, effectig~ organization dedicated
to the betterment'of Westonka businesses and' the.community~ If we are to
progress, from this level'of accomplishm~{, %hen we must work hard ~t ex-
panding Our lines of communication and awareness~ To that' end, please ta~e
note of the following 198& Directors and OffiCers JiiS%, These inOlviouals

Report of the LMC Local Government Aid Policy Task Force
The Procedure
Enclosed is a copy of the proposed policy statement on local government aid
which has been approved by the League's local government aid policy task
force. The LMC Board of Directors invites all city officials to submit
written comments on this proposed statement. The Board will also conduct a
hearing on this policy statement at the League's annual conference in Duluth.
The Board will then take action to approve, amend, or disapprove the statement
following that hearing. If it is approved, the League's Revenue Sources
legislative committee will then begin work to develop a formula embodying the
policy. Both the policy and the formula would then be presented for adoption
as formal League policy at the LMC Legislative Conference next January.
The Policy
The type of formula contemplated by this policy would differ from the current
formula in several ways: First, the policy proposes that population and/or
households should be a significant formula element. Second, the policy
proposes a floor or minimum distribution which all cities would receive,
unlike the current formula under which some cities would eventually receive no
aid. And third, the policy proposes to measure "need" by the city's
expenditures for a specified list of basic municipal services. By contrast,
the current formula's "need" measure is the sum of the city's current LGA plus
its levy limit.
There was considerable controversy within the task force on the issue of
"need," and how'any measure of expenditures or revenues should fit into the
formula if at all. The task force ultimately concluded that the formula
should reflect a city's expenditures for "basic municipal services." Defining
which expenditures would count as a "basic municiPal service" proved to be
very difficult, and involved extensive discussion. The list included in the
policy is a compromise between members who preferred a very narrow definition
of "basic municipal services, and those who argued for a more inclusive list.

The Task Force
The LGA policy task force consisted of the following elected officials: Sig
Stene, Lindstrom, Chairman; Meg Bye, Duluth; Steve Cramer, Minneapolis; June
Demos, Roseville; Kelly Ferber, Fergus Falls; Doc Hall, Waseca; Duane Knutsom,
Fertile; Connie Morrison, Burnsville; Bruce Nawrocki, Columbia Heights; Dean
Nyquist, Brooklyn Center; and A1 Ringsmuth, Waite Park.
Of the task force members, June Demos has declined to support this statement,
because it does not include a per capita cap on the amount of expenditures
which would be permitted to affect the formula.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID POLICY (Proposed)
SYNOPSIS
A Local Government Aid formula should be a simple expression of the
Legislature's intent. Local government aid (LGA) should be distributed
according to 1) the city's revenue raising capacity, as measured by its
taxable assessed value; and 2) the city's need, as measured by its population
and/or households and its expenditures for basic municipal services.
STATEMENT AND RATIONALE
Local Government Aid is a major municipal revenue source which
complements cities' other major revenue source, the property tax. As such,
LGA must be distributed among cities in a way which alleviates the problems
inherent in reliance on the property tax as the major revenue source cities
control. Cities vary markedly in their ability to raise money from property
taxes. There are also wide variations among cities in their citizens' need
for services and the costs of providing those services. A complementary
revenue source for cities is necessary precisely because a city's ability to
raise revenue from the property tax does not necessarily coincide with the
cost of the services which that city must provide to its citizens. An LGA
formula must reflect both the individual city's need and its local revenue
raising capacity.
A city's capacity to raise revenues from the property tax is easily
measured by the city's equalized assessed value. (For metro-area cities, the
assessed value after fiscal disparities distributions is the appropriate
figure.) An acceptable aid formula should provide proportionally more aid to
cities with less taxable assessed value, other things being equal.
Need is more difficult to define and to measure. There is no single data
item which measures need equitably; rather, we must rely on a combination of
factors to approximate need.
Need is clearly related to some extent to the city's number of
inhabitants. Cities provide services to people. Because some services relate
more closely to households than to individuals, the formula should reflect
both the population and the number of households. Every city should receive a
basic LGA distribution based on its population and/or number of households.
However, neither population nor the number of households completely
reflects need. Cities with similar populations and numbers of households may
be faced with quite different service needs. (Factors such as age,

construction and density of buildings, crime rates, elderly population, school
age population, climate, geographic size, population density, poverty levels,
crime rates, seasonal or daily influx of people, need to construct or replace
capital facilities, and a myriad of other factors may cause similar sized
cities' needs to differ.) Clearly, a formula cannot attempt to incorporate
measures of all of these factors; the result would necessarily be complicated
and to some extent arbitrary.
Rather, the formula should rely on the judgment made by the persons in
the best position to evaluate a city's need: that city's council. The local
city council's judgment as to the expenditures required in order to provide
the type and level of service needed by its citizens should be reflected in
the formula. The formula should reflect all expenditures for basic municipal
services. "Basic municipal services" include public safety, streets,
sanitation, libraries, redevelopment, and general government and related
purposes. This definition is intended as a limit, to assure that a city will
not receive additional local government aid as a result of its discretionary
spending on non-essential services.~ So far as possible, the formula should
not be affected by the city's choice among tax levies, special assessments, or
user fees to finance basic municipal services.
To the attempt to measure need by the tax levy, or by past LGA, or by a
combination of those factors is not acceptable. The past LGA distribution is
the result of several formula changes accompanied by grandfather provisions,
minimum increase guarantees, etc. Thg resulting distribution pattern is at
least somewhat arbitrary. And to focus on past aids and levies or levy limits
ignores the other revenues which cities' citizens contribute so that the city
can meat their service needs.
A formula develdpad in accordance with this policy would likely result in
a substantially different distribution of funds. The transition must be
handled in an orderly fashion, avoiding drastic year-to-year increases or
decreases in aid. Increases and decreases should be phased in, to avoid the
need for sudden "shock" property tax increases on one hand, and the temptation
to view increased aid as a windfall on the other.

'Tis a quiet, diminutive lady that
one very often notices, until her
funny bone is tickled - then the face
crinkles into laughter lines; the
bright glistening blue eyes partially
close, as her mellow voice breaks
forth, revealing her amusement.
Mary Ellen (Shaughnessy) Church is
an individual who has worn many hats
in her lifetime. The first hat was
worn shortly after May 31, 1895. This
baby bonnet was displayed in the city
of .Minneapolis, her birth place. Mary
Ellen's father worked for the Federal
Government and the family lived in
federal quarters; government dams
were changed from wooden to cement
dams all along the Mississippi River.
The nature of her father's employ-
ment necessitated a number of moves
'for the family. So it was at Grand
Rapids, Minnesota, that Mary Ellen
~-graduated from High School, where she
was certified as a teacher.
The man in her life loomed above
the horizon; it was then that her
perspective changed and she decided
one term of teaching was enough.
James, better known as A1 Church,
finished his stint in the army and
they were married in Duluth in 1919.
Again Mary Ellen resumed her
gypsy type of moving. Her husband
employed by the Canadian National
Railroad as a dispatcher and tele-
grapher, brought his bride to Port
Arthur, now known as Thunder Bay,
Ontario. After spending ten years
there, they moved to Williams, Min-
nesota. Their only child, Rosemary,
was born in Duluth.
Busy all of her life, Mary Ellen
found time to fill more of the pro-
verbial hats. She served well the
county in which she lived; the Lake
of the Woods for many years. For 14
years she served as a me~ber of
~Board of Welfare, Chairman of tie
~.".Re'd C'~"fbr two ~ars, ~c.l'~we~
· two more years as chef, ir ~an roi ~he
Democratic Party. The Food Ration--
lng Board was established during the
Depression for which Mary Ellen lent
her services. Sandwiched between
these activities and the Clerk of
Courts, our busy lady served as a
member of the Williams, l!innesota,
school board as well as manager of
the William~ Telephone Company for
seven years.
A1 retired, and the two moved to
Navarre for seven years. The next
fourteen years have been spent in
the Netka Apartments.
The past five years have had their
moments of lonliness, since Al's
passing, but it does not get to
Mary Ellen. She still keeps active.
As a member of Our Lady of the
Lake Church, she takes an active
part in the St. Mary's Guild, has
been an officer in the Women's
Council and the Auxiliary of the
Knights of Columbus.
For several years, the Mound Human
Rights Commission had Mary Elle~ as
one of the Commissioners.
Two Senior Housing Projects in
the city of Mound has been touched
by the ingenuity of this lady. And
speaking of Senior Citizens, Mary
Ellen is still doing her part in the
organization. No wonder she was
chosen as a Senior Citizen of the
Year for Hennepin County.
Hobbies are her cup of tea.

RECENT COUNCIL ACTIONS (April 30Wlay 11)
Transportation-Estimates released last week showed that
many more people would use light rail transit (LRT) or a
busway along two Twin Cities traffic corridors than the
present bus system. However, an LRT system may not attract
a lot more riders than a busway, according to the estimates
prepared by Council consultants. The corridors run along
University Ay. between downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul,
and along a southwest corridor connecting downtown
Minneapolis with Hopkins and Hwy. 101 in Minnetonka.
The Council asked the Minnesota Department of Energy
and Economic Development to fund a $1 million expansion of
the Minnesota Rideshare Program as the highest priority
project of regional transportation. The funds will come from
the U $. Department of Energy.
Solid Waste-The Council dropped the proposed work-
house site from further consideration and said that Ramsey
County does not contain any satisfactory sites for the disposal
of mixed municipal solid waste. As a result, the Council
reduced the county's required site complement from four to
zero.
- --The Council approved issuanc~ ors permit for the-F.M.
Frattalone Excavating and Grading Co. to expand its six-
acre demolition waste landfill in Little Canada by seven acres.
The Council approved issuance of a permit for the Douglas
Disposal Corp. to build and operate a 2,5-acre demolition
landfill in Eagan.
The Council adopted a report that establishes the scope of
an environmental impact statement required for a 31 percent
expansion of the Oak Grove Landfill in Oak Grove, proposed
by Northwest Disposal, Inc. The report identifies the time-
table, issues, alternatives, further studies and necessary permits.
Parks-The Council approved a Dakota County master plan
for land acquisition and development for Spring Lake Park
Reserve. The Council also approved a $125,000 development
grant contract wi~ the county. The grant is a local match with
federal Great River Road funds to build an entrance road and
picnic area to the park reserve.
The Council also approved the following development grant
amendments:
- Long Lake-Rush Lake Regional Park: $1.1 million for a
swimming beach, a picnic area, a nature interpretive area and
an access road. The amendment raises the grant total to $1 .B
million.
- Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve: S400,000 for a
variety of improvements, raising the grant total to S829,450.
- Battle Creek Regional Park: S250,000 for a pavilicn, an
entrance road, parking, hiking and bicycling paths. It raises
the grant total to S1 million.
Housing-The Council said a request by Lakeville for
federal mortgage insurance is consistent with Council 3uide-
lines. However, the Council;said that federal approval should
be contingent on Lakeville amending its comprehensive plan
. to include the development in its 1990 Metropolitan Urban
Service Area.
· Arm-The Council approved $185,000 in productiOn
assistance projects for 37 regional arts organizations for fiscal
year 1984.

RECENT COUNCIL ACTIONS (May 14-25) IC MEETINGS
Transportation-The Council approved a request by the
Metropolitan Transit Commission for $19.4 million in federal
funding for fiscal year 1984. The grant would be spent on 88.5
million in operating assistance and 11 capital purchases
including the replacement of 69 buses.
Three more Twin Cities firms have joined the ranks of
United States and foreign firms expressing interest in building
a fast-transit connection between downtown Minneapolis and
St. Paul. Kellogg Corp. and Project One, Inc., both of Minne-
apolis, and The Personal Rapid Transit Corp., St. Paul, sub-
mitted proposals to the Council. Another Twin Cities firm,
Davy McKee Corp., proposed a personal rapid transit system
before an earlier deadline.
Three other proposals received by the May 15 deadline
bring the total the Council is reviewing to 11.
Sewage Treatment-The Council withdrew its request to
the Metropolitan Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to modify
its sewage discharge permit for the Maple Plain sewage treat-
ment plant. The Council also decided to notify the MPCA that
the Council supports the phase-out of the plant and construc-
tion of an interceptor sewer to an existing line in Long Lake.
Housing-The Council said a housing bond plan amend- ..
ment proposed by Minnetonka is consistent with Council
guidelines. The city plans to issue approximately $15 million
in tax~xempt revenue bonds to finance a 318-unit apartment
complex. The housing is proposed for an area near the inter-
section of Smetana and 11th Ars. The Council suggested the
city initiate efforts to ensure that 20 percent of the units are
reserved for tenants with Iow and moderate incomes for at
least 10 years.
Aircraft Noise-The Council advised the Federal Aviation
Administration of Council support for a petition that prohibits
the manufacture and registration of aircraft that do not meet
proposed, more stringent, aircraft noise regulations. The
petition was developed by the National Organization to Insure
a Sound-Controlled Environment and the Airport Operators
Council International. The regulations would apply to jet
transports scheduled to begin flying in 1986 or later.
Racetrack-The Council told Shakopee that a final environ-
mental impact statement on a 390-acre racetrack site there-
adequately addresses expected impacts, especially traffic con-
gestion problems. However, the Council said any hazardous
wastes associated with the proposed project should be identified.
Air Quality-The Council decided to request proposals
from consultants to revise an air quality control plan for
transportation at the intersection of Shelling and University
Avs.'in St. Paul. Traffic at the intersection continues to violate
state and federal carbon monoxide standards. The study,
estimaled to cost no more than S30,000, is expected to be
comp!eted by Oct. 31, 1984.
Solid Waste-The Council has set a public meeting for
7 p.m., Tuesday, June 5, at the Newport City Hall, 596 7th
Av., Newport:, to hear public comment on an environmental
assessment worksheet, pub. no. 12-84-067, and on the need
for an environmental impact statement on a waste processing
facility proposed by Waste-to-Energy, Inc. in Newport. For a
copy of the worksheet, call 291-6464. If you plan to speak at
the meeting, call 291.6447.

Practical difficulties requiring variance to LMCD Code:
We presently own a 45 foot houseboat which draws 4 feet at the stern.
First, the lake shore abutting our property slopes into the lake very
gradually such that the depth of the lake is about 5 to 5.5 feet at
a point 85 feet from the shore. The mean high to low water variance
· may be as much as 1 1/2 feet from spring to fall. Moving the dock
system closer to the shore would potentially damage the boat shafts,
rudders & propellers during dockage. Further, the potential for
grounding may structurally damage the boat hull.
Secondly, a tree at the shoreline extends into. the lake in such a
fashion that if the boat were drawn closer to shore some branches
would come into direct contact with the boat. (We are presently
trying to save this tree through p~oper management, to retain the
natural beauty along the shoreline).
Third, the lateral dimensions of the dock system are designed to
allow a minimum of dockage within the slip given that the waters in
our area can become very choppy due to the strong north-to-south
winds that pound the south shore of Jennings Bay. Also, we have
placed a dock seat at the outer end of the slip which extends 8 feet
laterally to the slip. This setback at the 84 foot distance is
exceeded by 3 feet. This does not adversely affect reasonable access
to, or the use of the lake by the public or other owners. It is
further used as a mooring area for our sailboat which also draws
approximately 4 feet. -

Interest rates rose largely due to the prospect of larger federal deficits and
borrowing, but tax exempt rates did not follow immediately. However, commencing the
week of May ? even these rates rose dramatically in sympathy. As of May l?, the Bond
Buyer Index for yields on 20-Year bonds was 10.36%, compared to 9.98% on March 15. In
early May a well-known commentator said that interest rates would rise sharply if the
federal deficit is not resolved and that Congress seems unable to address this problem
in this election year. While all fixed obligations suffered, tax exempts suffered
less. This reflects a reduced supply of tax exempts for private financings, and the tax
exempt/taxable yield spread is widening.
Recently Ed Kerman, Vice President, and Tom Hines, Analyst, from Moody's Investors
Service were here at the invitation of the Minnesota State Auditor to address over 100
municipal finance directors. We spent a good deal of time making some on-site
inspections at New Ulm, Belle Plaine, Winthrop, Gaylord, Arlington, Victoria, West St.
Paul, Eden Prairie, South St. Paul and Cottage Grove.
Moody's has agreed to participate in additional sessions for those, including school and
county people, unable to attend the most recent conference. These will be held on May
29, ll:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. at the Thunderbird in Bloomington and again on May 31 at the
Savery Hotel, Des Moines, between ll:30 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. with on-site_visits in
between. Look for your invitation and get back to us. Acceptances will be first come,
first serve.
At a well-attended Minnesota Association of School Business Officials' conference,
Carolyn Drude presented the "Minnesota Miracle". Many said they had not realized the
dramatic impact of income-related (not poverty-related) refunds on property taxes.
Ehlers and Associates have the only computer program that quickly and accurately
provides the net cost of any bond issue or tax levy proposal for any range of
residential property values owned by families with any variety of incomes. Less than
10% of voters understand this, but those who do strongly favor local revenue issues.
You need us if you have a bond issue or levy proposal.
Voter profile surveys are becoming a necessity for the proper management of local
governments. We find that voters are much different from what managers and elected
officials often suppose. EhlerS and Associates have conducted a number of surveys in
which profile/attitude questions are related to an action question. By asking the
proper questions, many voters are stimulated to take a greater and better interest in
local affairs. If you are interested in the Voter Profile Survey, do contact us.
Looking forward to seeing many of you in June, we are

Highway Jurisdiction Study Commission Hearings.
Few cities in the State are financially able to accept more roads into
their municipal system yet that is what may occur as a result of the
work of the State HighwayStu~ Commission. Created by the 1983 legislature,
the Highway Study Commission is charged with evaluating the classification
of roads and recommending possible changes in jurisdiction.
The Citizens League has recommended that the state highway system be-
reduced from approximately 12,000 miles to 7,500. The cost of transferring
approximately 1,000 miles to city and township jurisdiction in one study
was estimated at 7 million dollars annually!
The prospect of a potential shift of responsibility from the state to
local governments of upwards of thirty-five million dollars annually
should concern all city officials.
Wh.at Sou should do.
Make a point of testifying, or having your city engineer testify, at
the regional hearings conducted'by the State Highway Study Commission.
Information on the time and location of these hearings as well as what
items local officials should focus on in their testimony is enclosed.
A few hours spent at these hearings may save your city thousands of
dollars. Please try to attend.

Duties of the State ~ighway Study Commission
as Defined in Minnesota Statutes 161.081~ Section 14, Subdivision 2
Sec. 14. ~(HIGHWAY STUDY COMMISSION.)
Subdivision 1. (MEMBERSHIP.) A highway study commission is
created to consist of five members of the House of Representatives
appointed by the Speaker of the House, five members of the Senate
appointed by the Senate Committee on Committees, and eight members
appointed by the Governor. Of the members appointed by the Governor
two must be county commissioners, two must be township supervisors,
two must be mayors of cities over 5,000 population, two must be
mayors of cities under 5,000 population and not more than one
member may reside in any one congressional district. The commis-
sion shall select from its membership a chairman and other
officers it deems necessary.
Subd. 2. (DUTIES OF COMMISSION.) The commission shall study:
A functional classification of all roads in the state
of Minnesota, using criteria established by the United
States Department of Transportation and such other cri-
teria as are deemed necessary by the commission. In
classifying roads the commission shall make use of
work already done by regional development commission
· and the Metropolitan Council.
The existing jurisdiction of all roads in the.state
and their appropriate jurisdiction based on functional
classification.
The attitudes of local units of government toward
changes in highway jurisdiction.
Potential obstacles to transfers of highway jurisdic-
tion, including transfers of support facilities and
maintenance personnel.
Changes in the constitutional distribution of highway
user funds which may be required as a part of any
transfer of jurisdiction.
Existing and potential government structures to accom-
plish jurisdictional transfers on a continuing basis.
7. Timetables for implementing any jurisdictional transfers.
HIGHWAY STUDY COMMISSION STATUS REPORT
So far the Commission has held seven meetings and heard from the Department of
Transportation, the Association of Township Officers, the City and County
Engineers Association, highway jurisdiction task forces of the Metropolitan
Council and the East Central Regional Development Commissions, and from the
Citizens. League. In future meetings the Commission will hear from other
metropolitan counties, the League ~f Cities, the Association of Counties and
potentially affected personnel and law enforcement groups as well'as.from
interested citizens, and officials in a series of outstate hearings.
The Commission has not itself made any findings or reached any conclusions but
it has heard a number of significant observations and suggestions. These
include:
1) Minnesota has the fifth-highest total of roads and streets in the
country but some of its other comparisons with other states are not as
far out of line. Minnesota is 19th in the country in state highway
-- miles, and 39th in the percent of all highway miles which are.om the'
state system. The state is 14th in total miles per capita but.31st in
state miles per capita. It is 26th in total miles per square mile and
33rd in state miles per square mile. It seems that where Minnesota
seems, out of line it is because of the total area of the state and the
-- number' of non-trunk highway'miles, particularly town roads~
2)
Functional classification studies suggest that many miles of roads in
Minnesota are under inaRpropriate Jurisdiction. Fewer than half the.
miles .of the trunk highway system are principal arterials,-~hile
counties have over 700 miles of arterial highways and cities have over
300 miles.
3)
The benefits of realigning highway Jurisdiction'include greater equity
among taxpayers and a greater likelihood that roads will get an
appropriate level of attention in both maintenance and construction
planning. The benefits do not necessarily include large cost savings
or a net reduction in the total miles of roads and streets 'in the
state. The major elements of highway cost are independent of highway
Jurisdiction, and the main reason for the existence of almost all
low-classification ro~ds, that of access to property, c'annot be
changed by jurisdictional realignment.
There is potentially a sizeable amount of interest at the regional
level in jurisdiction transfers because of a desire for highway.
systems more closely based on functional classification, but-also some'
apprehension at the local level that extensive transfers might have
unintended consequences, such as placing an added financial burden on
local government.

HIGHWAY STUDY COMMISSION:
ISSUES
/
The issue of highway Jurisdiction -- who should own the roads -- has been'an
issue in Minnesota at least since 1920, when a constitutional amendment
created the nucleus of the present trunk highway system. In 1933 the system
was expanded to approximately its current size and since then several studies
have suggested reasons for reducing the size of the state system by from
one-third to almost one-half. In both metropolitan and outstate areas task
forces have been examining highway Jurisdiction with the intention of making
recommendations on transferring highway ownership.
Among the problems which have been identified in the existing system are:
There is often a discrepancy between the ownership of a road and the
function it serves -- for instance, essentially local roads being owned
by the state and'roads of statewide importance being the responsibility
of counties.
Decisions on roads are often made at the wrong level of government, such
as when a road that might be upgraded if the decision were up to the
county lies unimproved because it is not of such importance on the state
system.
-- A substantial part of the state highway system is inadequately preserved
because of the imbalance between the size of the system and the amount of
money available to spend, on it. -
The Highway Study COmmission was cre~ted 'by the 1983 Legislature to study
'these issues and report to the 1985 Legislature.. It has been meeting since
the fall of 1983 and has heard from representatives of state and local road'
authorities, citizens and highway-user groups and regional highway
Jurisdiction task forces. In its outstate hearings and'in future meetings the
Study Commission will be looking for the answers to a number of questions,
including:
Is the Minnesota road system in general, and the state highway system in
particular, too large for the amount of tax dollars available to support
it? ~'
~%at factors should, determine whether a road belongs on the state system
or on a local system?
3.' What are the benefits and costs of Jurisdictional transfers?
If Jurisdictional transfers are desirable, how should they be
accomplished?
Would transfers of highways from state to local jurisdiction mean a shift
of the tax burden away from highway user taxes and onto property taxes?

Dear Eldo:
This will confirm that you have contacted me and have asked
for a general layout as to what will be necessary to put the proposed
Town Square Redevelopment Project and Tax Increment Financing into
a proper form to comply with the state statutes. The method of
redeveloping a portion of downtown Mound has been determined to be
a redevelopment project under Minnesota Statutes Section 462.515 and
Sections 273.73, Subd. 10 and 273.74. What this in effect means
is that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Mound will be the
governmental agency carrying out the redevelopment project. This
means that the agency which you chair must comply with all the
provisions of Chapter 462 and ~Chapter 273 so that the plan-will be
properly adopted, tax increments can be calculated, financing can
be arranged, and the bonds can be repaid.
I am enclosing herewith a checklist of all the reauired
proceedings which are necessary for the issuance of tax increment
general obligation redevelopment bonds, and ! have discussed these
points with Mark Koeg!er, the HRA's planninE adviser. This is going
to require some accumulation of old resolutions and other things
from the HRA, but I believe everything is in proper order.
You also sent me some preliminary material on the Town Square
project and asked me to review that and give you and the HRA my.
co~ents in writing. Subsequent to our discussions, ~lark Koegler
called and indicated that the plan was proceedinE and nhat he was
presenting a proposed develooment project and tax increment
financing plan to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and thac
said plan carries a date of May 21, 198~. He sent me a coov of that
plan on ~ay 25, 1984, and Jon ~lam called ~e on June I, 19~1, and
asked me te expedite my review. I do not have the resolution

Page 2

adopted by the HRA, and therefore I don't know exactly what you
have done, although as I understand it from talking wit~ Mark the
HRA has in effect approved the plan in a preliminary way and
wants it submitted to the other governmental agencies and the
Planning Commission for review and comment.
The plan is required to meet the requirements of both Chapter
462 and Chapter 273. The HRA should now submit its redevelopment
plan and its method of financing and the written opinion of the
Planning Connnission to the City Council. The City Council must
then hold a public hearing giving not less than ten days notice
nor more than 30 days notice by publication in the off'cia! newspaper.
~ne Authority and the City Council must find by resolution as
follows:
1. That the land in the project area would not be made
available for redevelopment without the financial aid being sought
from the HRA and the City.
2. That the redevelopment plans for the redevelopment area
in the City will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the
needs of the City as a whole for the redevelopment of such area
by private enterprise.
3. That the redevelopment plan must conform to the general
plan for the redevelopment of the City as a whole.
To comply with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 273.74, the HRA and
the City Council must find that the redevelopment district complies
with the statutory definition, and both the preliminary plan
and the final plan appear to meet that determination. It is my
suggestion that the proposed development program incorporate by
reference and make a part of the redeveiooment plan the To~m Square
Qualification Report of April, 1984, as amended. That is the
reoort dated April !!, 1984, of Mound Housing and Redevelopment
Authority "%o~ Square Tax Increment Financing Feasibility Analysis"
As a oart of that feasibility analysis, information is contained
concerning t. he structures in the area and a building evaluation.

and the tax increment financing plan essentially follow the
requirements of 273.74, Subd. 1. As a part of that plan, it
appears that all the requirements of 273.74 also have been met,
but my suggestion would be that in our final approval by the
Council and by the HRA, we essentially incorporate all of the
statutory language and then indicate that both bodies find those
findings to be correct and complete. I do not believe we have
to modify the plan, but merely that the resolution of approval
should be drawn with 273.74, Subd. 1, 2 and 3 being taken into
consideration.
As to the development program and the financing plan, my
com~ents are very sparse. I do think that the plan constantly
refers to the City when in effect it should be referring to the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority. There should be no mis-
understanding by either the City Council or the HP~ that the
responsibilities for this plan and the implementation thereof
rest with the H~. The City Council, other governmental agencies,
and the public will have their input at the time of the public
hearing before the City Council, but all of the things which are
talked about in the plan~'and statutory requirements as to Row
the project is constructed will be the responsibility of the HRA.
The HRA is going to have to determine that the redeveloper is a
proper entity, and this may mean the formation of a redevelopment
corporation or other joint venture organization which has the
responsibility for all payments under the project or letters of
credit, performance bonds, and guarantees to assure the HRA and
the residents of the City of Mound that the project is carried
out consistent with the plan. This normally requires a
redevelopment agreement which is long and extremely detailed,
and I cannot stress enough the need to follow the statutes and
to have all the i's dotted ,~and the t's crossed, and all of the
agreements in an enforceable form.
The HRA will have some very sensitive negotiations with
property owners and to carry out the relocation of families who
live in the ~District. I believe that the reoort makes it clear,
but ! want to stress that at this point you are dealing essentialiv
with estimates, and unless the HRA is willing ~c, commit the genera:_
proper~y taxes of the City o= l.~ound, there wi~
._~ have to be some co-
orcznaEion o~ costs based on projected cos~_s un;, ~ you nave
determined the orice of the land and The relocation expenses. If
any of the orooert~es~ _ ._ have to go into condemna:ion, the f:~a_~

numbers to be paid for the properties will be in doubt for a long
period of time.
The HRA Commissioners must realize that they have the
responsibility for this project and that they have the authority
to pledge the full faith and credit of the City to cover any bonds.
This brings me to my last comment which is on Figure 12 in the
report entitled "Tax Increment Financing Analysis". This indicates.
that from the years 1990 through 1999, the project will have a
deficit cash flow starting with $18,775 and increasing up to
$58,525. If the plan is approved in this form, it would appear
to me that the HRA and the City Council are contemplating ad
valorem taxes to cover these deficiencies for that nine year
period. I would think that the plan should be modified to change
the maturities of the bonds and extend the project IF it is the
desire of the HRA and the City Council to avoid a general tax.
In conclusion, I think that the HRA, the City Council, and
the administrator of this program should be in consultation with
this office ~o assist in the preparation of resolutions fo~ the
Council's consideration and other documents to make this a project
approved for tax increment financing and in compliance with
Chapter 462 of the state statutes.

1984 SESSION PRODUCES The recently concluded session saw the passage of some significant legislation affecting the
' MUCH LEGISLATION Twin Cities Region. Among the most significant were new solid waste provisions (H.F. 1577),
AFFECTING REGIONAL aggregate resources legislation (S.F. 881), and the Metropolitan Transit Commission reorgan-
ISSUES ization (H,F. 2317). Following is a summary of the major provisions of each.
Solid Waste Provisions
Designation of Resource Recovery £eci/ities-Procedures for designation of resource
recovery facilities have been modified and recodified. Designation may not apply to recycled
goods or to materials processed at another resource recovery facility in operation at the time
the designation plan is approved, Also excluded are materials that will be processed at
another resource recovery facility if that facility will be completed within 18 months. Later
determination is to be made by the Metropolitan Council,
Certificate of Need-Required for new landfill capacity throughout the state (whether new
or exismg facility).
Cou/~ty Fee Authority-Counties are authorized to impose a fee upon solid waste facility
operators located within the county not to exceed 25 cents per cubic yard. Revenues may
be used only for landfill abatement purposes, closure/postclosure care, response actions,
mitigating/compensating for local risks, costs and adverse effect of solid waste facilities.
Waste residue from energy and resource recovery facilities exempt from half the fee in
certain cases.
City, Town Fee-City, town fee of 15 cents per cubic yard upon solid waste facility
operators located within the city or town for mitigating/compensating for local risks, costs
and adverse effects of solid waste facilities, Waste residue from energy and resource recovery
facilities exempt from half the fee in certain cases.
Metropolitan LandfiliAbatementAct-Landfill operators within the Metropolitan Area shall
.... - ......... 9ay fee of 50 cents13er:eubic yard or-equivalent. Waste residue from energy and resourct.'
recovery exempt from half. Proceeds from fee to be used for a) metro landfill abatement
· fund (50 percent); b) landfill contingency action fund (50 percent) abatement. Fund may be
used for solid waste management planning assistance; resource recovery grants or loans by
Metropolitan Council; market development grants or loans; administrative and technical
assistance by Metropolitan Council. There is a partial rebate to cities for qualifying landfill
abatement and resource recovery expenses. Contingency action fund may be used for water
supply monitoring by Minnesota Health Department and PCA closure/postclosure care
expenses, as well as response actions and closure/postclosure expenses.
Aggregate Resources
The act creates a 15-member advisory committee and specifies the interested parties to be
represented. This Metropolitan Council-appointed committee is to be headed by the Council
chair. The Council is to provide administrative services.
The committee is to advise the legislature by December 1985 regarding the fo!lowing:
1. Whether information available on aggregates (gravel and crushed rock) is sufficient to
allow local governments to protect aggregates?
2, To what extent the aggregates of the region should be protected?
3. What protection mechanism is to be used?
Metropolitan Transit Commission
The act establishes a new transit agency, the Regional Transit Board (RTB), effective
July 1, 1984. The board is to consist of 14 members appointed by the Council from districts
generally conforming to Council districts. It wilt serve as the regional transit planning agency.
The MTC becomes a three-member body, its members appointed by the RT8, charged with
the provision of transit service in the region.
RTB implementation and financial plans must be approved by the Council.
If you have questions about this or other legislation pertaining to the region, they can be
directed to Gary Pagel, the Council's special assistant for in',ergovernmental affairs, at
291-6394.

Among the most controversial issues the regi°n has faced in recent years are those of solid
and hazardous waste disposal. The Solid Waste Management Act {Minn. Stat. 473.149 -
473.834}, passed in 1981, is a complex piece of legislation that sets out the process by which
a regional solid waste management system is to be developed and implemented.
A major component of the process is the preparation by the Metropolitan Council of a new
regional solid waste management plan. The plan, when comDleted, will become a part of
the Metroz)olitan Development Guide. The plan is being prepared by the Council's Solid
Waste Management Advisory Committee and Council staff.
Work on the plan c~mmenced in early 1983, but has been delayed by two factors: 1) the
county planning process also mandated by the solid waste taw;and 2) the landfill siting
process, which must be completed before the metropolitan management plan can De
completed.
Drafting a solid waste management chapter is a major undertaking; one that is unique in
the Council's histor~ ir~everal,resoects. First is the nature of the committee workin9 orr'
the plan.
The advisory committee is cpm ;osed of 30 persons, most of whom are experts m one as 3act
or another of solid waste management. This differs markedly from other Council advisory
committees where specific professional credentials have been less significant in selecting
members.
The second unique aspect of this effort is that 20 persons representing communities w~tn
potential solid waste landfill and sludge-ash sites have Peen included.
Finally, this is the first guide chapter that will include a specific communications program.
This section of the chapter will be aimed at increasing public awareness of solid waste
issues, commitment to and involvement in solutions to solid waste issues. Shirlee Smith of
the Council's Planning Assistance staff is working with a subcommittee of the advisory
committee. The subcommittee is using"'creative problem-solving" techniques to develop
its recommendations.
Paul Smith, Environmental Planning, who is directing the chapter's development,
anticipates a draft plan going out for public hearing in late summer or early fall of this yaar.
Questions about the Council's solid waste management activities can be directed to
Paul Smith at 291-6408 or Dan Krivit at 291-6546.
