~UBLIC HEARING; PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ZONING CODE - ~ECTION
23.625.3
The city Manager explained that this has come about because
Superamerica desires to remove the existing Metro 500 facility
and replace it with a new Superamerica Station.

motor fuel station, convenience store be added to the list of
conditional uses in the 'B-1 District as specified in Section
23.625.3 of the Zoning Code. '
The Mayor open'ed the public hearing and asked for any comments
from the citizens present. There were none. The Mayor closed the
public hearing. ..
Charon moved and Jessen seconded the following:
ORDINANCE #461
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 23.625.3 OF
THE MOUND ZONING CODE TO ADD MOTOR FUEL
STATION AND MOTOR FUEL STATION,
CONVENt'ENCE STORE AS CONDITIONAL USES IN
THE CENTRAL BUSINESS (B-l) ZONE
April 10, 1984
Th~' vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING; AUDITOR'S ROAD DESIGN PLAN
The City Manager explained~that this new design plan came about
from a plan to improve the area around the Post office and
provide a better location for the drive up mail boxes now located
in front of the Post Office.
The City Engineer then explained the plan which would make
Auditor's Road an M.S.A. road. It would, however, require the
elimination of about 10 parking spaces ~next to Dr. Borg's office
in order to make the road right-of-way 50'. The State requires a
60' right-of-way for M.S.A. roads but the Engineer thought a
variance could be obtained for the 50' right-of-way. The esti-
mated cost of the improvement is $218,000.
The City Manager read the foIlowing letter submitted by Dr. Borg
regarding the improvement of Auditor's Road:
"Will you please convey to the Honorable Bob Polston, Mayor
and the Mound Councilpeople my regrets that I will not be
able to attend the hearing on the proposed changes in the
parking/street arrangement adjoining and south of my dental
office building in downtown Mound. It's a serious and
drastic idea to eliminate ten (10) parking spaces where
parking is so much needed and perhaps used more than any
place in Mound.
It is my recollection that when I bought my property in 1959
from the late Katherine Pardee that she ha~ deeded the
property in question to the Village of Mound to be used for
parking. I think I can speak for most businesses in this end
of town, on both sides of the street, that we have come to
rely on this parking area very much since we lost the on-
street parking a few years ago. The convenience of this area
practically at the door of so many establishments and its
being at street level and therefore convenient for even the
handicapped was one of the emollients that the City and
County used on us when the elimination of the on-street
parking was f~irst proposed.
I respectfully urge the Council to maintain with parking
area." -
(Signed) Harold P. Borg, D.D.S.
Mayor Polston opened the public hearing.
DICK SCHWERT stated that he too is verY concerned about
valuable .parking spaces being taken away. The
oe
April 10, 1984
businesses need this parking. 'He ska%~d 6ha% %he
employees of the businesses that park in the spaces
close to the buildings should be encouraged to park in
the City parking lots. Blacktopping the city lot on
Auditor's Road would probably help that parking
situation.
The City Engineer explained that the City cannot blacktop the
parking lot south of Auditor's Road with M.S.A. funds. M.S.A.
funds can only be used for related costs of the road.
..
VERN ANDERSON stated that he is against the improvement of
'Auditor's Road because the loss of parking spaces would
mean a loss of business.
MR. FALNESS stated he is also against the improvement because
of the loss of parking.
The Council asked the City Engineer to check and see if Marion
Street Could be an M.S.A. road. The Engineer stated that he
would check, but he thought probably ~ot because the buildings on
both sides of Marion St. are too close to the road and the road
would not be wide enough unless one of the buildings were re-
moved. The Council asked the business people present if they
would be for the improvement if the road turned at Marion St. and
did not continue up Auditor's Road. Many of the people stated
yes they would be for the improvement then.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Peterson stated that he failed to see the merit in
the Auditor's Road improvement at the west end but liked the idea
of Marion Street. ..
The City Engineer checked his records and stated that a count of
cars passing the area next to the dentist office was 940 cars per
day in a survey taken last Fall.
The City Manager stated 'he and the Engineer will check out the
Marion Street issue with the State and get back to t~e Council.
This item was and information item only. No action was taken.
REQUEST FOR COMMONS MAINTENANC~ PERMIT;
COMMONS
ROGER POLLEY - WAURIKA
The City Manager explained that Mr. Polley, 1559 Eagle Lane, wants
to replace existing concrete steps with treated wood steps on
Waurika Commons. This area abuts Lot 3, Block 3, Woodland Point.
The Park Commission has recommended approval.
April 10, 1984
Jessem moved and Charon seconded a motion to authorize the
issuance of a Commons Maintenance Permit to Roger Polley, 1559
Eagle Lane, to replace concrete steps with treated wood steps
on Waurika Commons where it abuts Lot 3, Block.B, Woodland
Point. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
CASE #84-314:
ROGER POLL5¥, 1559 EAGLE LANE, LOTS 1,2,3, BLOCK
3, WOODLAND POINT, 3.5 FOOT SIDE YARD VARIANCE
The City Manager explained that the applicant is requesting a 3.5:
foot variance to allow the construction of an unenclosed deck
adjacent to his home's existing front ietback for the lakeshore.
The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the variance
request as the setback of the deck is aligned with the present
structure; a future structure would not be built on the adjacent
Commons and the lakeshore setback of 50 feet will be exceeded
(setback is 60 to 64 feet to the lakeshore). The only condition
they recommended was that the deck cannot be enclosed in the
future without additional variance approval.
Peterson moved and Charon seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION ~84-42
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A 3.5 FOOT SIDE YARD

CASE ~84-31~;
HELEN HALVARSON (RUSTIQUE), ~261 COMMERCE BLVD,
PART OF LOT 52, LYNWOLD PARK, WALL MOUNTED ,SIGN
The City Manager explained that this sign is like the one Rustique
had before they moved. The dimensions are 9'8" by 1'6" = 14.5
square feet and 14'0" by 1'0" = 14 square feet or the total area
of 30 square feet.
The sign code draft allows 10% of the wall up to 48 square feet.
The wall is approximately 450 square feet in area. The proposed
sign will meet the proposed new draft requirements. The Planning
Commission recommended approval.
Charon moved and Peterson seconded the following resolution:

HOUSE OF MOY, 5555 SHORELINE BLVD,, LOT 2 & W. 45
FEET FRONT AND REAR OF LOT 3, FID #13-11Y-Z~ 33
0005, SIGN PERMIT
The City Manager explained that the owner of the House of Moy has
requested a permit to install two wall signs occupying a total
area of approximately 98 square feet (49 square feet each). One
will say "Cantonese Food" and the other "Chow Mein To Go". They
have an existing sign saying "House of Moy", which added to the 2
new signs would total approximately 170 square feet or
approximately 13.5 percent of the total wall area.
The propOsed sign ordinance draft provides that such signs cannot
exceed 10 percent of the total wall area up to 48 square feet in
area, whichever is smaller.
.The Planner 'stated that other municiaplities sign ordinances have
varied percentages of total wall area to determine the square
footage sign allowable. For instance, Wayzata is 20% of wall
area.
The Planne~' suggested that since the sign on the roof of the
House of Moy is architecturally integrated and compatible with
the building, the Council could consider appr.oval on that basis.
Polston moved and Peterson seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #84-44
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A SIGN VARIANCE FOR

Jessen moved and Peterson seconded a motion to set May 8,
1984, at 7:BO P.M. for a public hearing to consider changing
the House of Moy to a Class III Restaurant and to allow "On

WLY. 50 FT, OF LOT 6, AUDITOR'S SUBD, ~170, 4' .X 8' TEMPORARY
SIGN
The City Manager explained that the Applicant's request does not
comply with the temporary provisions of the proposed sign
ordinance because it is a 4' x 8' portable sign that is being
requested to be placed for approximately one month. The Planning
Commission recommended approval for 1 time for 45 days as a
seasonal sign advertising boat and marina repair.
Mr. Cossette was present and stated that he feels he really needs
this sign to advertise boat and marina repair.
The Council discussed the problems they might be opening up by
approving this temporary sign and the differences between this
sign and one that might be requested by a civic organization vs. a
business.
T~e Planner stated that this sign could fall under the Seasional
sign portion of the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Polston stated he does not want to be inconsistent by
approving civic organizations signs and denying businesses a
seasonal sign.

down when the bridge replacement is completed.

approval of these temporary directional signs if they work with
the City on the exact placement of these signs so that ~hey do

(S.F. 1298/H.F. 1302) which would require a city to publish at
least a summary of all council proceedings in the city's legal
newspaper.' Another section of the bill would allow rates for
legal publications, which are currently set by statute at 24
cents per line to increase by a maximum of 10 percent annually.
This legislation could impose an expensive, useless ~andate on
cities. The Council agreed.
Charon moved and Peterson seconded a motion to instruct the

The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

Re:
Hazardous Building
2925 Holt Lane
Dear Ms. Bertrand:
Enclosed please find a proposed resolution to repair or
remove the hazardous building located at 2925 HoIt Lane. I have
prepared this resolution based upon the information contained in
your letter to Desyl Peterson dated March 14, 1984.
If the Mayor and City Council choose to approve the
resolution, please forward a signed, certified copy to our
office. Once the appropriate waiting period has passed, and no
answer has been filed by the property owner, we will take the next
step in the hazardous building procedure which is to serve the
property owner and title interests with court documents. These
documents will be filed with the County district court, requesting
permission for the City to raze and remove the hazardous building.
If the City Council passes the resolution, a copy'of Pt
should be sent to the property owner and the person living on the
property. The owner may, during this time, discuss the repair or
April 11, 1984

removal with the City. If an agreement is reached between the
owner and the City, the City may then wish to cease the hazardous
building proceeding.
Please keep us informed of the progress of thi.s situation.
If you have any questions, please call.
Very/ftruly yours

Dear Desyl:
As per our conversation o'f March' 12, 1984, I am forwarding
my observations and opinions of the outbuildings located at
2925 Holt Lane owned by Fritz Johnson.
My .PhotographS taken February 9, 1~84 indicate 'that a tree
(or.trees) have fallen on the two~2) outbuildings on the
property.
My letter to him dated October 6, 1983 requested that he
remove these.:bui]dlngs' (.1.) is a small building, quite
possibly used as. an outdoor plumbing facility years ago.
I' have'not been inside the bui!di.ng as the door di.d not
open properly and was full of storage by the renta] .tenant;'
the roof at the present time has a sizable hole in it'and
the siding is ripped off, with the.building leaning either
due to the tree falling on it or the floor support being
'rotted o~-' missing. (2) is a larger bui]ding with metal
siding, broken windows, no f.loor, an'd no door (open to the
elements); the.roof is collapsing.and the building is
leaning approximately 10 degrees.
It is my opinion, that they are a harborage of' rodents and
possibly other animals. The tenants have been stor. ing
refuse and garbage, in these buildings. Neither buildin~j
is anchored to. the gr:ound by any foundation imbedment.

Re: 2925 Holt Lane, Mound, Minnesota
Dear'Mr. Johnson:
As the prosecuting attorney for the City of Mound, I have
received reports from the City Inspections Department of
violations of the city ordinances on your property in the City
of Mound. ~here is an accumulation of debris and other
materials, such as but not limited to lawn chair, carpet, rug
and inside of shed is full of debris, and also outbuildings are
to be removed in violation of the city ordinances, Also, city
codes require refuse and garbage containers be fly-tight,
water-tight and cleanable of 32 gallon capacity. The plastic
garbage containers at this property do not meet the code.
We would appreciate your taking care of this mitter
immediately. If nothing has been done by December 19, 1983, we
may be forced to take appropriate legal action. We would
appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE MATTER OF HAZARDOUS
BUILDINGS LOCATED AT 2925 HOLT LANE
WHEREAS, James H. Hoiby, is the owner of property located at
2925 Holt Lane, City of Mound, legally described in Hennepin
County as:
Lot 5, Block 6, Minnesota Baptist Summer Assembly
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mound has made the
following findings of fact regarding the two outbuildings located
upon the above property:
The smaller of the two buildings contains a sizable
hole in the roof.
2. The siding on the smaller building is ripped off.
The smaller building is leaning due to either a tree
· falling on it or due to ratted or missing floor
supports.
The larger of the two buildings is leaning and its roof
is collapsing.
The larger building has broken windows, no floor, and
no door, leaving it open to the elements. ·
Refuse and garbage are currently being stored in these
buildings.
Neither building is anchored to the ground by an
embedded foundation.
Both buildings, especially the larger of the two, are a
safety hazard to children playing in the area and are a
potential harborage for rodents and other animals.
Both buildings are a threat to the health, safety and
welfare of the surrounding residents.
WHEREAS, the property and outbuildings are located next to
residences, either existing or under construction; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mound having duly
considered the matter pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
463.15 to 463.261, finds the two outbuildings on the

Mayor Bob Polston
City of Mound
5341 Maywood Road
Mound, Minnesota 55364
Dear Mayor Polston:
The Cities of Minnetrista and St. Bonifacius are seeking the
continued support of Lake Minnetonka communities in opposing
a potential landfill, Site M, in the western Lake Minnet0nka
area. The site lies in Minnetrista approximately one and a
quarter mile upstream of Halsted's Bay of Lake Minnetonka,
just north of St. Bonifacius.
A couple of years ago, your ~ity supported us by adopting a
resolution expressing opposition to the landfill because of
the adverse effects it could have on your City and the entire
Lake Minnetonka Watershed..~ Hennepin County rejected Site M,
in part, because of the concerns of Lake Minnetonka communi-
ties. However,Metropolitan Council is again considering. Site
M. During the next few months, they will be selecting ~wo of
four potential landfill sites.
The selection.of Site M could have a harmful effect on Lake
Minnet0nka and its surrounding cities due to pollution of
surface waters and underground water"reservoirs and generation
of heavy truck traffic. ~Pollutants from the land~ill could
enter surface waters which drain into Lake Minnet0nka. No
assurances can be given by environmental engineers that such
pollution Would not occur, regardless of the sophistication
of the landfill's design~ Considering the millions of dollars
which communities have i~vested to install sanitary sewer and
take other measures to protect the land and improve water
quality, we are.now.faced with the possible introduction of
another major Source of pollution.
The landfill site also lies above aquifers which flow east-
ward and which are utilized by many private and municipal
wells. Consultant studies have stated that pollutants could
migrate into these major water bearing aquifers since there
are no aquicludes to serve as barriers between the landfill
and underground reservoirs. Though experts are recommending
that liners be installed in/landfills, they again can provide
no guarantee that the liners Would function properly and
that the aquifers would not be contaminated.
The landfill would also generate a significant amount of
traffic on state, county, and municipal roads in the Lake
Minnetonka area. Traffic engineers have estimated that a'
landfill would create 150-600 heavy truck trips per day.
Though many of the area's major traffic arterials are al-
ready overburdened, the addition of this heavy truck traf-
· .fic would add to problems of congestion and public safety.
The concerns expressed by cities.for the negative impacts
Which a landfill could have on Lake Minnetonka were helpful
in having Site M rejected once before. Therefore, the Cities
of Minnetrista and St. Bonifacius would appreciate your con-
tinued support by the adoption of the enclosed resolution or
one similar to it, or any other expression of opposition or
concern to Site M which you may wish to make. Testimony
could also be given at a public meeting being held by Metro-
politan Council on Wednesday, April 25th, at 7:00 p.m. at
Orono High School. The' purpose-of that meeting is to take
comments from officials and residents regarding the potential
landfill sites in Minnetrista and Corcoran.
Thank you again for your assistance and support. If you.have
any suggestions or comments concerning the site selection
process or would like a representative of our Cities to attend
a Council meeting to discuss this matter further, please con-
tact us.
Sincerely,.

Dear Jon:
Dow-Sat wants to disclose to the City a change in their investor structure.
This document requires the signature of the Mayor. It is a procedural step and
only strengthens Dow-Sat's financial base. The banks want the cities notified
and the Mayor's signature acknowledges notification and consents on beb~] f of
the City to this change in investment structure.
We inadyertently filed these documents when we received them. As a result,
Dow-Sat is in a bind to get these.~ocuments signed immediately.
I see no problem with the Mayor signing now. I would recommend that the Council
be also notified of the Mayor's signature, and if they desire, adopting by reso-
lution the "Notice and Consent."
Council action is perfunctory and can occur after the Mayor's signature since it
is essential that these documents be signed as soon as possible.
Please call, or have your Mayor call if you have any questions.

Proposal for Relocation Plan
Town Square Tax Increment Project
Dear Jon,
This letter is to confirm that our company will complete
a relocation plan for the City of Mound's Town Square
Project for $2 500 00. Half'would be payable upon author-
ization to us to proceed and the other half would be payable
upon your acceptance of the written relocation plan..
Five businesses and two residents will be the subjects of
the plan. Each will be interviewed for base data pertinent
to their relocations; and this data will be collated in the
plan for you. Each will also be surveyed relative to replace-
ment site preferences and needs. We will then survey the
current real estate market to assess the probability of
desirable or suitable sites being available for the subjects
if relocated, and at what cost. This information will be
presented in the plan, 'along with our estimate of the maximum
relocation payment each .subject might receive, given'HUD's
regulations under State law.
I hope this summary proposal is sufficient for your immediate
needs. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
William Von Klug

Street Light on Wil~urst
April 19
19 $4
After checking the area of Wildhurst where ~g. Kuhn is requesting
that we put a street light, I found that it is a fairly dark street
but not necessarily any darker than other side streets in,bund.
I feel it would be nice to have a light there, however, as it
would solve their problem and light up the neighborhood considerably.
By putting a street light on the pole designated on the map, would
be a good idea because it would make the neighbors feel safer by
lighting up the area.
Wednesday April ll.
Mr. John Elam
City Manager
City Of Mound
5341Maywood Rd.
Mound MN 55364
Dear Mr. Elam:
Most recently our neighbor had a car stolen out of her locked garage.
That was the second time her garage had been broken into. We have
also had a bicycle stolen from our garage. These events have prompted
me to write to you and ask that a street light be attached to an already
existing pole on our street.
I know-that the request is mino~. My father is a city manager. I
know the amount of requests like this. I understand as well,
that you are a busy man. But I have always thought that our street
ia too dark. And with the thefts that have occured, I believe
the request is justified.
.... · Pleas~'~bring this matter to the attention of the proper audience
./' and get ba?~._to m,~y husband or myself. Thank you for your time.

mbved here from Chicago
1977, sl~-/~rtly before their L,'
marriagefSteve found Work
' -With the MTC. Peg stayed .home to ?faLse'-
· Jean and Jane. In spring of 1981, shortly -,
- after their third girl was born,-the Does
bought a modest home in Mound.-There
Peg and Steve had a nodding - -~' -
acquaintanceshiP With several n~ighbom
· They were better, friends with Adrian and
.Linch-Ya&ley, a couple who had
encouraged them to move out to Mound.
On Friday, Dec. 17; when two Mound.-
policemen came to the Does'.h0u~e to' ·
_ follow up on the anonymous Call, Peg-
could not imagin9 who' would hav( called
the- county With allegations of child-,
abuse. The poli~(-were polite. Peg' :'
invited them in when they wanied to ask.
her some questions. But what. the :;.-)_::V
policeme.p wanted to know hdrrified her. -
Were she and Steve .in the habit of
having sex in from'of their children? Was-
h true. that Steve had eiaculated all over
on-e of the girls? Why was she trying to
cover _up for her husban'd? Peg '
remembers trying to answer as 'le~;~lly ~s
she could (a repot5 filed by police chief
Bruce Wold remarks on her calm in a'
a~/gh-stress situation), but she adamantly'
.~nied ·the allegations.' She suggested that
the police talk to her neighbors, including
Adrian Yacldey. The police thanked her
- Shaken by the'police visit, Peg called
'-' Steve, her two brothers and, finally, the
Hennepin County child protection
agency..Child pro/ection'morker Carolyn
McHenry assured:..p, eg that'/he police. -.
visit was part of a¥outine investigation
following an anonymous call, "'I asked her
to ~come out to the. house, because I was.'
sure.that anyone veho visited us and saw
the kids would realize righ.t away that we
'weren't abusing th&n," Peg recalls. "She
said she would, that they had '-
anatomically correct dolls that they Would
give Jean and Jane to see what they did
with them: She alsd'said that she'd
like to talk to J~an alone. I said fine,-I'd
go into the other room and feed the baby.
So she set up a tim_e to come out, 9:30 on
Monday morning.'
McHenry called at nine on Monday to
say she'd been delayed and would be
there at 1:30. At one another call:
McH~nry was still hung up, would call
ater. Finally at three, Peg called
~cHenrfs secretary who said she was
ut and couldn't be reached. Peg heard
nothing more until 7:30, when four
Mound policemen appeared at the door·
"We have a warrant here for Jean and Jane
Doe," one said. Jean, who was sitting at
the table, wamng for dinner, screamed and
ran into her bedroom. Two-year-old Jane
just stared.
What happened?
According to the
county's brief~ the man
who called on Dec..7
had called again on Dec.
13, prompting Child Protection to begin
an investigation. The county contacted
the Mound police, who interviewed two
neighbors on Dec. 1'5. One of them,
according to the police report, said she
had once heard screaming coming from
Does' house at bedtime. Another
~eighbor, a nurse, said she had not seen
any signs of abuse, but she had seen one
of/he gkls carrying a pot pipe..The -
police then interviewed Peg, and finally
Adrian Yackley, who admiued that he~ *-~
, Yacldefs comments this time included,
observations abot~t the Does' lffestple, -
according to Sgt.. Hudson's repbrt.'Pe~,~'('~
Yacldey said,' frequently sat about .the ?:
house "with her' breasts exposed~ and
Steve sometimes wore ~utoffs and n6 .....
unde.rwear, _"leaving himself very'-~ '
: obvious." Both Does were"ofthe flower-.
children hippie-type society,~ Sgt. :'
Hudson wrote. Despite all this, the
Mound police evidently concluded that
"w& always triea our a. to
respect authority, especially pohcemen,~
says Peg Doe. "When they came to the
door that night I read the.warrant over
and over,.but I didn't want to show the
kids I was sea, ed, so I tried
calm as I could. I gave both gLrls their
favorite dolls and told' them to go ahead~
that what was happening was all'i
mistake, and we'd have it straightened
out tomorrow. Later Jean told me that as
the police car was driving dow!3town, she
asked them ff they could stop at the IDS
tower so_she could talk to herdaddy. She
knew that Steve works there, and she
thought that if he knew what was
happening, he'd stop it.~ The girls were
taken to St. Joseph's Shelter for .Children,
separated and put to bed. "
A hearing on the county's emergency
hold petition was held the next day.
Assistant County Attorney Parker
claimed she was unable to serve a
subpoena on Adrian Yackley, who was
scheduled to testify. Instead, Sgt. Hudson
went over the neighbors' allegations.
Corey Gordon, the Does' attorney~ had
had only a few hours to go over his case.

: A week later} in the lull between
Christmas and New}Ye. ar's; Adrian
'Yackley 'was brought in-to_.mak~ a-'

he had seen at the Does' house. ~Then

believed that'"there was probably more
going on than just normal children

~ deposition on Dec. 23, Yackley's wife,
Linda, said she thought that was ~xacd3
what was going on. Two-year-old Jane
would sit on adult laps and try to undo
their shirt buttons, not because she was
seducing them, but because she was
"infatuated with navels," said Linda
Yacldey. "... When she was learning

-_ When Yackley wai-:asked why~he~:
suspected that ~more was going on," he '
restated his most damagi/ag claim. -"Peg

~imes 'of saying things about Steve's - ~.

suspect s0mething'~ras'.going fin ih'the ':
house, I took it to be sexual things," he
said.
Gordon: ~Did Peg say that Sieve.had a
sexual problem with Jean?"
Yackley: ~She never came right out and
said it, no.~
Gordon: "What did she say?"
Yackley: ~I can't remember the contents
of the conversation, but I just remember
her talking about Steve's problem, just
saying 'Well, you know what your
problem is with Jean,' and on one
particular occasion, I had stopped over
there on a Saturday, and Peg said that
Steve had came on ~[ane three times that
day, and that was enough to tell me right
there that he was having some type of
engagement with her."
Yackley said that until the
morning of he~ deposition, she was
unaware of ~anything improper" that
Steve might have done. But that morning
her husband had mentioned that "Steve, I
guess, came on to Jane three times, I
guess. And I didn't knoiv about that
' before."
'-'- Even so, said Linda Yackley, when she
learned that her husband believed the
Doe children were victims of seximl
abuse, she was surprised. "I asked him
how he can say that when he doesn't
know for a fact that it's true."
How ckn he say'this when
he doesn't know_ for a-'fact-_'"5
that it's true? To the' ~
county officials who . -:.. -
petitioned for removal ~f"
the Doe children, Adrian Yacldey's
-~complaints. had "indicia of credibility,"
that justified separating the Doe children
from their parents. The Does spent
Christmas trying to recall the comment :~':-
that might have been misinterpreted, -
wondering whether they were wrong t0
.their children play in the backyard
imming pool naked, or perverse to
nave let a four-year-old and a two-year-
old explore-their bodies freely. "Sure, . _
they were curious about their k;odies. '
J~me fell off the toilet try4.ng'to watch

Christmas was a hideous affair, Peg-
\
recalls~'*"We'd 'been really gauche that

says that Peg'and Steve Doe were. ~.quite
open and willing to allow me to visit _ -:.
their children.~ He talked to Jean Doe,
noting that she '-,//as ~qu[te bright and "'"
very verbal" find that she "failed to -
display many regressive behaviors often ~-
associaied with the sexual abuse of-
toddlers and presch?olers."-
Jean was '~fully aware of the allegations

quite Clearly that .her father had not done
anything like that to her nor as far as she
knew to her liltle sister. It is this worker's
opinion that (Jean) was telling the truth,"
Cronk wrote. He observed that "two-year-
olds often squirm around on a person's-
lap without necessarily indicating sexual
act. ivity,' tha~ the evidence Yackley
provided %11 contains a great deal of
.interpretation on his part" and that,
.according to Dr. Allen Listiack of the
Program in Human Sexuality a~ the
University of Minnesota, the type of
genital fondling that Yackley had seen the
girls doing was 'not at all unusual and
did not necessarily indicate child abuse.~
After talking to the Does and their
children, Cronk concluded that, other
than Yacktefs initial complaints, there
was ~no further evidence of child abuse.~
He recommended the emergency hold
petition be dropped: The Does' appeal of
the petition was scheduled for that
afternoon. Cronk told the Does that their
children would be returned to them.
They simply ha~l to make one more court
appearance that afternoon, so the petition
could be dropped.
The Does appeared in court,
fully' expecting the charges
~ to be dropped, half-
expecting an apology from_.'
the county. Instead, the -:~
county presented a petition filed th~/
morning, demanding that legal custody of
the children be turned over to Hennepin ' .
County. The "dependency and neglect
petition" warned the Does that ii' they did
not appear_.at the heat'.rog; thei.might lose
the children by default. RichardCronk's "~...

so sure ewryth~ng was w_orked'oui,'w~ :7

The. petition cited an evaluation by '

"recited," according to Price, 'If my.
daddy sneaked into my cunny, they
would throw him in jail.' The petition
concludes, ~Mr. Price stated that he has
no doubt ~hat these children have been

Today, Price recalls that l~e "spent very

emphati~ denial is atyp. ic~.~..a four-year~. '
old, even a precocious one,' Price" '
maintains) and on summaries _of Yacl~ley's
complaints given to him by the county.
Despite Price's report, the county
- dropped th.e petition after hasty
conferences with Cronk and the Does'
attorney, in the judge's chambers. The Does
were ordered to undergo counseling~ and
Jean and Jane were allowed to go home,
but the case file was kept open for 11
more months.-The county's summary of --
the proceeding makes no mention of

CITY of MOUND
5341 MAYWOOD ROAD
MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364
(612) 472-1155
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
RE:
UPDATE ON RAILROAD STATUS
As we all know, there has been a good deal of discussion regarding the
abandonment potential of the Burlington Northern line thru downtown
Mound. In 1981, the Burlington Northern conducted a study and filed
abandonment papers. In late 1982 these were withdrawn under strong
political pressure, particularly from Senator Durenberger representing
various economic interests along the line, especially in Hutchinson.
Since then it's stayed in a state of limbo with neither side moving
much to resolve the future.
On'Wednesday, I attended a meeting in Hutchinson with the State to get
an update. That is as follows. In June, 1983, a number of users of the
railroad formed a shippers corporation called the Central Prairie
Railway Association. Ten people were elected to this Board, none from
our area. It is chaired by a fine gentlemen, Mr. Ray Zimmerman, the
Manager of the farm elevator in Hutchinson.
Between August of 1983 and December (approximately), the Board contacted
every potential user of the railroad to determine what future rail
shipping needs they might require if the line was upgraded (rehabilitated)
to 1984 standards, i.e. 100 pound rail, good ties and ballast. Presently,
the line is the lightest in operation in the State, using 56 pound rail.
In fact, the bed is so bad that it is presently embargoed (closed) because
of soft spots in the rail bed which could cause and has recently, derailments.
(Remember Minnetonka Beach last summer) This study generated an estimated
18OO rail car loads per year that would be shipped. In 1983, 650 car
loads were shipped, using twice a week service.
Taking these 1800 projected car loads, the State Department of Trans-
portation then conducted an evaluation of whether this increased
traffic would economically justify covering the cost of rehabilitating
the line. The line from Wayzata to Hutchinson is 44 miles long. The
cost to upgrade would be approximately $250,000 per mile or a total
estimated cost of $9.8 million dollars. The State has made this line a
top priority for State funding assistance, meaning that they will provide
70% of the rehabilita'tion cost through an interest free 10 year loan to
Pa9e 2
City' Council
April 19, 1984
the railroad if they will put up' 20% of the cost and the shippers would
put up a 10% cash contribution (not an insignificant amount - $980,000).
The shippers would get there 10% back by charging an extra $85.00 for
every car shipped. That would take about 11,300 cars or about 6-7 years
to recover their investment. The participating Board members all feel
this is a pretty viable program and each is now exploring ways to generate
their proportionate share of the $980,000. Whether they will be success-
ful is hard to tell at this point. I would expect that they will be.
The State did a cost benefit analysis of the line and found that if the
line was abandoned, 80 jobs would be lost (estimated loss of income -
$1.6 million dollars). They also ran through the numbers of shipping
by truck vs. rail, loss of tax revenue, etc. All together these costs
for 20 years are more than double the rehabilitation cost of $9.8 million
dollars. The State requires only a ratio of 1:1 (cost vs. benefit), so
the project easily qualifies for State financial assistance.
In addition, the City of Hutchinson has set aside $103,000 for upgrading
the rail spurs within the City and may well add to this. That is a
very strong'committment. '
All of this,' though, may not impress the Burlington Northern. If the
shippers get their money together, the State basically goes to the
railroad and presents the package. The railroad can then accept, modify
or reject the proposal.
The argument the Burlington Northern will use the State says, is th~ it
will not become very profitable until after the State loan is paid off
or 9-10 years. Thus, will the railroad participate in such a project
even though after.lO years the profits from just the rail portion of the
line will equal $900,000 per year? Unbelievably, in 1983 the line
generated a profit on just the rail traffic Of between $58,000 to $62,000.
You now know more, probably than you ever would want to know, about
the line, .and if I were betting on all of this I would think we will
continue to see a railroad through Mound for a long time to come.
I'll keep you up-to-date on any other developments.

RE: UPDATE
It has been an amazingly busy week. Probably because the weather has been
good, people have been out looking over their yards and the City finding
what they can to complain about. Monday was especially rough, some real
demanders. I'll share some of these difficult 'demands' later in this memo.
First, on the Police Chief question. Percy Morris and David Mawhorter both
finished their psychological tests yesterday. Bill Hudson finished his last
Friday. The results should be in by the end of the week. Based on the
results (assuming everything looks good), we'll move on to doing the back-
ground investigation. I'm shooting for a May 1 deadline. Personally
though, I'm still up in the air and that's after talking with each of them
at least 3-4 times. I'll keep you up-to-date on this.
We are getting alot of very interesting applications for the Liquor Store
Manager position. (Deadline May 1, 1984) I think we must have 50 applications
so far.
The HRA will be meeting on April 25, at 7:30 P.M., in 2020 Commerce Blvd.
We held the Public Works Building Study Committee meeting this week. Six
people were in attendance. Bud Stannard called the'Mayor and declined
serving. Mary Campbell didn't call or show, so I don't know if she wants
to serve. Otherwise, it looks like a good group so we could go with just
six people. The next meeting is Monday, April 23, at 7:00 P.M., when we
will tour the various buildings and sites.
On the economic development front, it looks like the Tonka/Balboa nego-
tiations may not be going anywhere. Tonka's now saying only that there
is a 50-50 chance and no closing date has been set. I¢ it falls through,
we are back to point zero.

Rainbow Foods has been looking at the No Frills site for a 20,000 square
foot store. Since the entire c~nter is only 25,000 square feet, it would
mean some changes. The owner wants rent equal to $8.00/square foot
($160,000 per year). They are willing to pay $6.00/square foot, thus the
deal may not (probably) won't go through. Interesting though.
Skip's Outlet (the Blanks) came in to check out loan/grant programs they
could use in either the old Westonka Sports building or Rustique. They
are leaning toward the old Westonka Sports building. Speaking of Westonka
Sports, Jon Scherven sold his business last week, but still owns the building
and will still remodel it. Quite a shock, but a buyer came in, offered him
a good price and Jon felt he couldn't turn it down.
Ron Paradis is trying to buy the unfinished building across from the new
senior citizen housing development so he can move his boat upholstery shop
out of him home. This would clear up two situations that need attention.
Rager's Pub has decided to become Rager's ice Cream Parlor, effective this
weekend. The last beer (?) was drunk on Sunday. Whether this is anymore
successful than the other business, time will tell.
Lately I've spent some time thinking about how to clear up that block. If
the City were to buy those two sites, clear them and resell them for housing,
we would probably solve a continuing neighborhood land use conflict. The
cost might be $150,000, but with. six lots we should be able to regain
nearly $100,000 of it back. It could also be a small tax increment district.
Please think about this becasue it is a real land use problem.
Similarly, if our timing on Lost Lake doesn't mesh regarding t~e old Metro
500 site ($uperamerica wil~ want to build as soon as possible), that means
we either let th~m, only to face a problem when the Lost Lake housing site
gets ready to go in 1985 or deny Superamerica's conditional use permit,
but be faced with a suit forcing us to buy t~e property since we have denied
an owner a legal use. We could possibly use HUD funds to purchase both
of these sites by borrowing against future allocations. Anyway, some tough
questions .to consider.
As a wrap-up let me share some of the more difficult problems of the week.
1) House located off the bike path by Avon and Emerald, near Shirley Hills.
The owner was upset because he was on the delinquent water list. Upon
paying his bill, he marched downstairs and said we had forgotten to plow
his road this entire past winter. (It looks like he may be right, but he
never called.) He also wants the 8' path across the roadway sodded and
oh yes, please have the neighbor cut down all his front yard bushes because
they are blocking his site line. -WOW.
My answers. We will correct the snow removal problem in the future, but
can't put in sod because every year we would tear it up due to the narrow
access road. The neighbor's bushes are not within the right-of-way so we
can't order them removed. Chances he will be happy are slim.

2) Fellow moves into the house at the very end of Shorewood Lane (west
side) on Friday. On Monday he comes in demanding that the fire hydrant
in the "middle of the road" be moved; the culvert by his driveway be
taken out; and that we consider riprapping his private lakeshore. Since
he came straight from LosAngeles he had a great California poshyness.
.My answers. Initially, no to everything, but I'd check it out. He left
in his fanciest of new Lincoln Continentals. After checking things out,
I find that the street was moved when the new streets were put in, the
hydrant wasn't. Our fault, we will move it over 20 feet. The culvert
is on his private property, his problem. Lastly, I put him in touch
with the Watershed District to find out about riprapping shoreline and
told him it wasn't an eligible city project. His mood, arrogant.
3) The nice couple that lived next to the new water town on the Island
are getting a divorce and put their house up for sale. A prospective
buyer comes along and likes the house, but is instantly mad at the City
because the tower is so close to his future house. Wants to know, what
kind of "idiots" put it there and suggested that he should be compensated
because it adversely affects his land value. Remember, he hasn't even
bought the house yet and he's giving me this lecture. He had a private
appraisal done on the property showing its value as $14,000 less than
the county has .it assessed for. ($84,000 vs. $70,000) I told him to
come to the Board of Review if he wants to make his case. He will, if
he.buys the house.
All I could tell him is that we do have a landscape plan and will try to
accomodate his concerns and no-we won't be moving the tower because of
some very solid reasons. He left, not very happy. He had a large chip
on his shoulder toward the City. Oh well.
4) The neighbor across the street from Mound Bay Park doesn't like the
park because it doesn't have any large shade trees along the shore so
people can sit in the shade. He wants me to go out now and buy some.
I told him I thought the beach area was left open purposely so people could
lay in the sun and play. To.put trees in would increase the vandalism
and potential for damage. He didn't buy it. Still wants large trees
planted now. Oh well.
The things I hate about all of these is, one, they will vote against
any incumbents running; two, they really think we are incompetent; and
last, I really can't do anything to force them to und.~rstand that, yes
we make errors that we will correct, but in a democracy not everyone's
views can be adopted.
So much for a very tough week.

working effectively with the public. She will emphasize how city officials and
taxpayers regard one another and give you the skills and understanding to handle and
redefine those perceptions when they obstruct.effective policy making in your city.
The City of Duluth has offered a potpourri of activities for families and delegates
alike, starting off with a rousing reception at the Depot on Wednesday evening. City
Night will be an event filled with music, marvelous food and beverage, and the
magnificent surroundings of the railroad museum housed in that historic building. Also
planned are excursions on Lake Superior, a picnic lunch along the St. Louis River, a

SUBJECT: 1984 Nominations for LMC Board of Directors
Each year at this time, members of the LMC Nominating Committee meet to
consider candidates for election to the LMC Board of Directors. I would like
to encourage you to participate in that selection process at the very outset
by requesting your advice in suggesting candidates to be considered for
nomination. The Nominating Committee will re£ommend four nominees to the
Board this year. Those nominations will be announced at the 1984 LMC Annual
Meeting, scheduled during the LMC Annual Conference in June. The date of the
LMC Annual Meeting is Thursday, June 14. The meeting will take place at the
Duluth Arena, Duluth, MN.
The Board positions that expire June, 1984 are four 3-year term memberships.
The committee will also consider nominees to fill any Board vacancies that may
occur. The committee will also recommend nominations for LMC Officers~
Officers of ~he League of Minnesota Cities are elected annually by the
membershipat the LMC Annual Meeting. Mayor Robert Anderson of International
Falls currently serves as LMC President; Adrian. Herbst, Council Member of
Bloomington is Vice President.
Guidelines followed by the Nominating Committee are enclosed with this letter,
along with a'listing of current members of the LMC Board of Directors and
Officers. The guidelines have been developed over the years as a result of
the deliberations of previous Nominating Committees.
President Anderson will be completing his appointments to the nominating
committee within the next two weeks and the first meeting of the Nominating
Committee will be mid-May. A second meeting will be held at the LMC Annual
Conference. It would be helpful to have your comments and advice as soon as
possible. In order to assist in that process, I' suggest that you call a
member of the nominating committee or me. If you are aware of an official of
a LMC member city who you view as a strong candidate for nomination, please
provide his/her name and a brief resume of qualifications. That information
may be sent to the League Office, attention: Helen Schendel. This
communication may be as formal as you prefer. The LMC Nominating Committee
will conduct interviews with each candidate on June 13th, during the LMC
Annual Conference.

The nominating committee's goal is to assure that every qualified ~andidate is
considered. Even if the city official you nominate is not aware of your
suggestion, you may certainly put the individual's name forward for
consideration. The Nominating Committee, as a regular part of procedure, will
confirm with that person whether to present his/her name to the Annual
Conference.
On behalf of the 1984 LMC Nominating Committee, I want to thank you for your
assistance and assure you that all suggestions will be seriously considered.

GUIDELINES
Geo~ra?hic and Population Size Representation
There has been a conscious effort to see that different parts of the
state are.represented on the Board, as well as the different sizes of
cities that are among the League's constituency.
Twin Cities Area/Outstate Balance
While there are no specific seats on the. Board reserved for Twin Cities
area or outstate members, it has been a consistent practice to maintain a
rough balance of Board members from these areas.
Elected/Appointed Balance
Traditionally both elected and appointed municipal officials have
participated in all aspects of the League's activities, including
membership in the Board of Directors. Although no specific numbe~ of
seats on the Board are reserved for elected as distinct from appointed
officials, it has been a consistent practice to have a majority of the
Board.composed. of elected officials. Furthermore, there has been some
effort to provide an opportunity for a varSety of appointed officials
(e.g., clerks, city managers, attorneys, assessors, etc.) to serve on the
Board.
Rotation of Membership
In view of the fact that the League has more than 750 member cities any
individual who serves a full term on the Board is not normally considered
for another Board term. However, persons with Board experience are often
considered as potential officers.

guests. Serving times for the brunch amc 11:00 A.M. - 12:00 Noon and 12:00 Noon -
1:00.P.M. Costs for volunteers are $1.00 per person and all others $2.00 per

Please purchase your tickets in advance. Those who have tickets will be seated
on a first come, first served basis. If we have room, we may accept walk-ins
the day 6f the brunch. However, we do have limited seating capacity and the
brunches will be prepared for a specific number.

are available by contacting the Senior Center at 472-1600, ext~ 248 by April 20.
This is a wonderful way to share with 'other' organizations what your organ-
ization does in the community. Also, some organizations are picking up the
costs --for Their volunteers to attend this special event and extending their thanks
and 'appreciation for the volunteers serving in their organization. Another new
feature is the pre-viewing of cable television to the community. The Volunteer
Fair will be taped to appear later on the cable channel.
Again, thank you for the great and important contributions your volunteer
organization makes in our community. We are all neighbors helping neighbors.

Dear Mayor:
On June 14, people and organizations in cities and towns across
the United States will observe Flag Day. It is a day of special
recognition for our flag and for our pledge of all.egiance to it.
I am writing to ask you, and more than 1,150 of your fellow
mayors in the National League of Cities, to take part in setting
aside a special time on June 14 for a national "Pause for the
Pledge" ceremony in your community.
Designating a special time at which all Americans could join
together to affirm their belief in the freedoms represented by
our flag is an idea launched by the National Flag Day Founda-
tion. Begun through a volunteer effort in 1980, the Pause for
the Pledge has gained widespread recognition and support from
leaders of civic organizations, the business community and
organized sports, and from state and local leaders, too.
A national Pause for the Pledge ceremony is held each year at
Fort McHenry in Baltimore, where Francis Scott Key composed our
national anthem as the fort was being bombarded during the War
of 1812. Each state was invited to send a young person to carry
its flag and join in leading last year's pledge ceremony, and
more than 500 cities responded when NLC President Charles Royer
encouraged the NLC membership to seek information about organ-
izing a Pause for the Pledge and other activities on Flag Day in
their communities. - I am repeating that request_and hoping that
even more cities and towns will join in this year's observances.
I hope you can lead a ceremony in your community. To receive
information, sample proclamations and other suggestions for Flag
Day ceremonies, please fill out and return the enclosed form to
the National Flag Day Committee.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Allen:
Thank you very much for the donation of $300.00 for the City Flag
Project. With this money we will take another giant step toward
lining Commerce Blvd. with flags on each new street light.
Hopefully everything will be complete so we can install all the
flags for Memorial Day.
Again, without your help this great project just wouldn't have
gotten off the ground as quickly as it has. For that the Community
owes you a great thank yOu.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir:
On March 30, 1984 the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved a
Settlement Agreement which resolves all issues from Minnegasco's 1982
general rate case which have been appealed to the Minnesota State Court
of Appeals.
As a term of the settlement, Minnegasco implemented a small rate
reduction for all our Minnesota custom~rs for usage on or after March
30, 1984.
Additionally, all customers will receive a one-time bill credit based on
the consumption that appears, on their April 1984 bill. Firm usage
customers, such as residential users, will receive a .5¢ per Ccf credit
for all usage appearing on their April bill. Interruptible usage
customers will receive a .23¢ per Ccf credit for all usage on their
April bill. An average residential user should receive a credi~ of
approximately 65¢.
The.enclosed'rate schedule identifies the rates in effect before the
rate change and those implemented on March 30, 1984. Customers can
contact any of Minnegasco's business offices for additional information
on this rate.
A copy of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Order authorizing
this rate change and bill credit is attached for your reference.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting Penny L. McCarran
at (612) 372-4881.
Very truly yours,

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the police officer who
· assisted me in locating my son on Friday, April 6th about 11:45 P.M.
He was very considerate and understanding with a mother who over reacted
when her child didn't return home at the appointed time.
Through his help and understanding I was no~t only able to calm down; have
my mind put to rest, but also able to handle the situation when Chuck came
home with some insight and tact that I wouldn't have had in the state I
was in prior to his arrival.
Chuck and I have also been able t'o talk the incident over and with luck and
consideration it will never happen again.
Thank you again for your time and understanding.

After a good deal of early promise, tax exempt interest rates rose again by early March from 9.56%
to 9.94% (BBI}. This follows the general trend of interest rates in the realization that $200
billion deficits are a pernicious problem. Tax exempt yields are especially affected by the huge
supply of public bonds issued and outstanding for private purposes.
Conflicts of interest in fiscal consulting/bond underwriting need some discussion. Our recent
survey drew a lot of blanks and question marks to the statement: A financial advisor
· . . should be entirely independent of any underwriting (buying) interest.
· . . may be an underwriter if he agrees not to bid on our bonds.
· . . who is an underwriter and who offers to bid on the bonds has a serious conflict.
· . . who is an underwriter and who agrees not to bid on the bonds is one less bidder.
· . . who is an underwriter may have conflicts of interest in other financings where another
underwriter may be the advisor.
Many checked no responses and some only one or two of them· Here's what we think.
An advisor should be a fiduciary and represent only one side. In response to our question, many
said that the advisor should be free of any underwriting interest and, in a sense, this answers
the others.
2. An underwriter who agrees no~t to bid on your bonds may still have conflicts.
a. The advisor may convert the bond issue to a private sale "to save the consulting fee".
b. The issuer (you) gets one less bidder.
Co
The underwriter/advisor may have a conflict arising out of an entirely different issue. A
function of an advisor is to recommend (or not to recommend) acceptance of an offer.
Suppose the bidder on your issue is the advisor in another community's issue which your
advisor wishes to underwrite -- is there not.a conflict?
3. Obviously, the advisor who also wishes to buy your bonds has a conflict· How can he advise you
that his is the best offer?
4. An underwriter/advisor who will not offer to buy your bonds means one less purchaser.
Underwriters participate in bidding syndicates all over and Underwriter A, as advisor where
Underwriter B offers to buy your bonds, may well find the roles reversed in another issue in
some other place, maybe in a different state. There Underwriter B, acting as advisor, may be in
a retaliatory position where Underwriter A is a purchaser. Thus, Underwriter/Advisor A may have
a serious conflict of interest in advising you on your issue.
It must be recognized that underwriters in buying bonds, are principals not agents of the issuer.
This is not to say that underwriters are unethical but, as all merchants, they try to acquire
inventories as cheaply as possible. This merely says that, where there are conflicts, one interest
may predominate at the expense of anotherJ Why not cut through all of that problem and look for a
very good independent financial advisor?
Ehlers & Associates are very good independent financial advisors.
Thanking you for your interest, we are

FROM: CITY MANAGER
One of my talents is to serve on the Editorial Board for a magazine
called Municipal Management. It is published by the University of
Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.
Enclosed is an article on "Recycling" that might be used by us.
Ironically it's from St. Louis Park.

Dear Mr. Jakiela:
The City of St. Louis Park has developed an innovative curbside
recycling program with measures of success well above those of other
programs around the country. ~Ayear-long pilot program serving 2,200
homes resulted in diverting 13 percent of household refuse from
landfills. This was accomplished with 51 percent ofthe~homes setting
materials out for recycling on any given semi-monthly COlllection day.
Survey data suggested that 75 percent of the homes recycled something
at least once a month. In April 1984, the collection service for
recycled newspr.int, glass, and metal cans will be expanded to the
remaining 10,000 single-family through fourplex homes in the City.
We believe that St. Louis Park's program is an exceptional one which can
serve as an effective model for other local governments across the
country. -Two members of the City staff have written an article
describing the risks and results of the pilot phase of the City's
recycling efforts. Municipal Management: A Journal is a publication
which reaches those persons who would be vitally interestedin reading
about the successful experience a City has had in recycling and solid
waste management. We offer this article for your publication.
Please 'let us know if you need additional text, information, or
graphics for the article. We will be hap~y to provide them quickly.
We can be reached at the address or telephone which appears on the
letterhead.

RISKING SUCCESS:
RECYCLING WORKS IN ST. LOUIS PARK
by
Craig W. Dawson and Clint Pires
How do you address the two-headed problem of rising refuse disposal costs and
diminishing landfill space? It's a dilen~na facing many communities in the country.
It's an issue that one Twin Cities suburb is taking an innovative risk to meet head-
o~.
St. Louis Park has created a highly successful source separation recycling program.
The City did this through research and survey techniques designed to determine
conditions under which residents would recycle. The answer was a program that had
to be convenient and low-cost. In short, it had to be a program that would help
people get in the habit of recycling. This was accomplished through a structured
program of public education, strategic implementation, and close monitoring and
evaluation. It resulted in aCity-wide recycling program, aprogramcharacterized
by the highest pilOt-phase participation rates in the state.
Source separation recycling is a risky venture for cities. The first obstacle to
overcome is convincing people that recycling is viable despite its inconsistent
record of success. During World War II it was mandatory and highly successful
because the war-related industries had an inexhaustible demand. Interest in
recycling waned until the late 1960s and early 1970s when it became a vital component
of the environmental movement. Most recycling efforts were publicly-operated or-
assisted and failed because the "novelty" of the issue wore off and markets for
recyclablesweredepressedduringaneconomicrecession. During the late1970sand
early 1980s, recycling gained popularity as a legitimate, low-cost waste abatement
strategy. Private firms were also collecting and marketing recyclable products.
Most of these companies still desired some sort of public assistance through either
subsidies or favorable tax status.
Minimizing Risks: Choosing not to recycle presents more easily identifiable risks.
Landfill capacity and scarcity problems have been identified in the Twin Cities for
several years. Sanitary landfills have ~een the sole method of solid waste
disposal for some fifteen years. Soils in the area are generally very porous,
posing the potential for easy leaching of pollutants from landfills. Water is a
valuable resource - surface waters for recreation and aesthetics, and g~oundwater
for most of the region's potable water supply. New sanitary landfill siting
criteria established by the Metropolitan Council have severely limited the number
of potential sites and generally placed them at the periphery of the metropolitan
area. The more populous counties have planned to build resource recovery
facilities. All of these factors - pollution, siting criteria, more distant
landfills, and expensive capital facilities - portend sharply risin~costs in solid
waste disposal.
While risks may be known, translating that knowledge into preventive action is
difficult. Action onaproblemlikerefuse, one perceived to be mundane, often is
not taken until acrisis is reached. In the case of solid waste, landfill abatement
can be accomplished in two ways: using high-technology facilities or changing the
behavior of the individual resident. The latter is less expensive, but requires a
commitment to break away from our "throwaway" culture. It has been estimated that
preparing materials for recycling takes only two minutes aday. Modifying behavior
to spend this small amount of time relied upon a system which was convenient and easy
to remember.
Assessin§Com~un}tyInterest: St. Louis Park,~afirst-ringsuburbofMinneapolis,
is a fully developed community with a population of 43,000. Its residents rank
above state and national averages for income and educational attainment. Most of
its housing stock was built during the decade after World War II. Some 12,000
residential units (about 2/3 of the housing stock) is comprised of single-family
through fourplex dwellings. The City currently contracts with one solid waste ·
collection firm, Woodlake Sanitary Service (a BFI subsidiary), to provide refuse
services to these residences.
Pope-Reid Associates was retained to perform a comprehensive solid waste management
study for St. Louis Park in late 1981 and early 1982. The objective was to determine
which high- or low-technology waste abatement method was the most cost-effective
and environmentally sound for the City. The firm conducted a random telephone
survey of City residents to determine their willingness to accept additional costs
and inconveniences. Hi-tech alternatives were ruled out for several reasons;
thus ways to implement low-tech alternatives were evaluated in depth. These
options needed to be designed to optimize convenience to the resident and thus be
effective tools to modify behavior.
A series of questions in the telephone survey dealt with recycling. It covered
attitudes toward recycling, the desired cost and convenience of recycling services,
and the willingness to prepare materials for recycling. Of all the alternatives
identified during the survey, re~yclingwas the most preferred. Not surprisingly,
residents wanted the service to be as inexpensive and convenient as possible.
Bearing in mind recycling's track record, City staff and the consultant worked to
find a successful program which would allow residents' behavi'or to match their
attitudes supporting recycling. Recycle-3, an operation in Santa Rosa,
California, offered customers three polyethelene containers for source separation
and frequent collection at the residence.
appeared adaptable to St. Louis Park.
This approach was successful and
APilotProgram: Based on the recommendations in the solid waste study, City staff
developed a pilot recycling program which provided recycling services for 2,200 of
the 12,000 single-family through fourplex residences in the City beginning in
October 1982. Three neighborhoods representing a broad cross-section of the City
were selected. Residents in two of the neighborhoods had recyclables collected
twice amonth on the same day of the week as the rest of their refuse; in the third
area, collection was on a different day to determine if same-day collection was
critical to getting people to recycle. The neighborhoods were contiguous with
Woodlake routes to allow easy comparison of refuse and recyclables collection
figures.
Io9o
Three materials were collected: newsprint, metal cans, and glass. These were
the most common and easily recyclable household wastes. Preparation of
recyclables was minimal: newsprint was bundled or bagged, and all types of metal
cans and glass were rinsed thoroughly. Pope-Reid calculated that recycling these
materials would result in 18 percent of the waste stream being diverted from
landfills if 100 percent of the households participated.
All homes in the pilot areas were provided a set of the Recycle-3 polyethylene
containers. Asetofcontainers included threestackable units - adifferent color
for each recyclable. These containers were chosen for several reasons. First,
they were a key component of the successful Santa Rosa program. Second, they
provided ahighlyvisible reminder for residents to recycle. Third, because they
were stackable, the containers could be placed conveniently in kitchens or
stairwells next to wastebaskets. Fourth, the units were made of polyethylene, a
plastic compound which could withstand the temperature extremes of Minnesota
without breaking. The only drawback of the containers was their costs: after
fabrication, freight, and distribution, a set had a value of $18.
In the Pope-Reid survey, residents indicated a preference to store recyclables no
longer than two weeks. To simplify the collection schedule for residents,
collections were scheduled on the first and third Tuesdays and Wednesdays of the
month. Collection services were provided by U.S. ReCyCo, a Minneapolis company
specializing in collecting and marketing recyclable materials. ReCyCo charged
$.25 per dwelling from which a collection was actually made. Recyclables were
placed at the curb or the alley, the same location as that for refuse.
Financ~n§thePilot Program: Grants totalling $56,000 from the federal Com~nunity
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and Hennepin County funded the costs of
containers, collection, and public education activities. CDBG funding was
obtained through an economic development strategy - jobs which were accessible to
low- ~nd moderate-income persons would be created in an emerging facet of the solid
waste industry. ReCyCo posted job openings with several public job service
agencies to encourage the emplo3~nent of persons using these agencies. Hennepin
/o7/
County provided funds to assist in the demonstration of a curbside recycling program
tailored to a suburban setting and to gain data in order to size properly the
capacity of a County disposal facility. The City assumed all staff and support
costs associated with the pilot program.
Public Education: Even with the best-designed program, an effective public
education effort is normally required if significant citizen participation and
cooperation are expected. The St. Louis Park experience is testimony that things
are no different when it comes to recycling. The pilot program used all available
modes for letting people know about recycling, obtaining their concerns and
incorporating them where appropriate, describing the program about to be thrust
upon them, and giving them lines of communication to City Hall.
Once it was determined that the pilot program would become a reality,.City staff
designed a multi-fold communications approach to recycling. Beyond'articles in
newsletters and local newspapers throughout the process, the City decided that more
direct resident contact would be necessary if'significant participation was to be
realized.
Two brochures were designed for initial direct contact. The first brochure, mailed
four weeks prior to the first collection in the program, informed residents that the
program was coming and that they would be a very special part of an important
experiment to determine if recycling would work in St. Louis Park. The second'
brochure arrived with the recycling containers and included stickers and specific
instructions on how and when to recycle, as well as persons to contact in the event of
problems. These brochures were w~itten and designed by City staff in conjunction
with Morgan-Williams Associates of Minneapolis.
Prior to arrival of the second brochure and containers, City staff held a meeting in
each pilot neighborhood to explain the program and answer questions. A more
important reason for these meetings was to reflect the City's commitment to the
program and identify specific City staff available to address residents' needs.
Recognizing that some residents would be unable to attend the neighborhood
meetings, City staff also produced a cable television show which included
information similar to that provided at the meetings. The show was cablecast
several times prior to and during the start-up of the pilot program at different
times of the day. Cable television also proved to beausefulmodeofcommunication
for recycling updates and tips.
About mid-way through the program, residents in the pilot neighborhoods were mailed
an update brochure. It congratulated them for participating in the program,
particularly during the "balmy" Minnesota winter they had just endured. Data on
amounts they had recycled to that point were highlighted. Aquestionnairewas also
included with this brochure. Residents were asked for information on their
recycling habits that was otherwise difficult to obtain. They were also queried on
their willingness to purchase the recycling containers as well as problems with and
suggestions for improvements to the recycling program. About 35 percent of the
residents responded to the self-addressed, postage-paid questionnaire. City staff
worked with Anderson Marketing Research of Edina, Minnesota in tabulating
questionnaire returns.

efforts were significant and demanded preparation and
However, without support and information provided for any

new program, particularly one as innovative as recycling in a winter climate, the
likelihood of success was dubious at best.
Results of the Voluntary Program: The bottom-line question revolved around
results. Residents in the pilot areas responded better than expected to the
program. At the end of the first year of the pilot, an average of 51 percent of the
households~were setting containers out on any given collection day. During the
year this rate ranged from 24 percent for one collection in one neighborhood to 78
percent in another. Data from the mid-year questionnaire suggested that about 75
percent of the households recycled something at least once per month.
Participation in the St. Louis Park program was significant in comparison to other
recycling efforts because it was a purely voluntary program - there were no
ordinances to mandate recycling'nor differential refuse rate schedules or other
economic incentives to encourage recycling.
Residents in the pilot program recycled 834,480 pounds of materials during the 12-
month pilot project. This amount represented 13 percent of all waste that they set
out for collection. As the following table highlights, the most recycled material
was newsprint, followed by glass, metal cans and aluminum.
Newsprint Glass Metal Aluminum Total
Total (lbs.) 542,110 186,850 92,545 12,975 834,480
Lbs/set-out 20.31 7.00 3.47 0.49 31.26
Throughout the pilot, the amount of newsprint collected was generally a good
predictor of the total recyclables collected. Data from the questionnaire
indicated that those persons recycling newsprint regularly were also likely to
recycle other materials frequently. Newsprint accounted for most of the variance
in volumes from collection to collection. Although the monetary return to ReCyCo
from scrap newsprint varied from poor to moderate, this component of the program was
key to recycling other materials to make the rest of the operation financially
successful.
Evaluation: The program evaluation included comparison with a control
neighborhood and with the prior year's collections by Woodlake in the pilot
neighborhoods. Historical comparisons were limited because Woodlake had
established current routes only one year earlier. Based on this one-year
comparison, Woodlake collected 4 percent less refuse in pilot areas during the
recycling program than it did before the pilot's existence. Acontrol neighborhood
without recycling was also identified. This area had demographics similar to those
of the recycling neighborhoods. In the control area, Woodlake collected 4 percent
more refuse than it did in recycling areas. These data were too time-limited for
meaningful analysis and did not take into account a variety of economic and weather-
related factors which could increase or decrease the amount that Woodlake might
collect from year-to-year. The data suggested that residents may have been doing a
fair amount of recycling (e.g., through Scout paper drives) but were now taking
advantage of the more convenient program contracted by the City.
Having recycling collections coincide with the day of regular refuse collection
appeared to have mixed importance. Set-out rates in the neighborhood with
recycling and refuse collections on different days were 42 percent compared with 52
percent in the other areas. However, the amount of material collected per set-out
was also 14 percent higher in this neighborhood than the other areas. At a
neighborhood meeting, some residents said they were placing recyclables on the curb
when they felt they had stored sufficient amount of material. In this way, the City
also realized some cost savings because there were fewer stops. A different-day
schedule was initially confusing and subjected the residential area to truck
traffic twice a week.
Data from the survey questionnaire indicated that recycling behavior did not vary
significantly from area to area. The same percentages of persons used the
recycling service among the neighborhoods. The likelihood of recycling newsprint
and other materials was the same. The percentages of residents receiving
newspapers.regularly was also similar. O1~ the survey respondents, 91 percent
indicated that they recycled something at least once a month. Given the non-
randomness of the survey (all 2200 homes were mailed questionnaires and 35 percent
returned them), staff estimated that 75 percent of the residents generally recycled
some material at least onceamonth. For comparison, the Santa Rosa program counted
76 percent of the homes in its pilot area recycling at least one material during a
six-week period. The results of the St. Louis Park program had greatly exceeded the
City staff's initial expectations.
City-Wide Expansion: Given the apparent success of the pilot program, the City, in
May 1983, began efforts to expand the recycling program to the remaining 10,000
homes.served by the City's general refuse contract. Cumulative totals on the
volumes of recyclables collected and set-out rates showed that the program was
meeting its objectives. Results from the survey questionnaire indicated that
residents were satisfied with the program and supportive of its continuation. The
problems encountered with the pilot program were minimal; a model for a smooth and
relatively trouble-free operation had been established.
Financing the City-Wide Progr~: The City was once again fortunate in a financial
sense. Congress had passed the 1983 Jobs Bill in the spring. The bill containeda
large appropriation for the Community Development Block Grant program administered
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. St. Louis Park competed
successfully and received $152,000 to fund expansion of the recycling program on the
basis that it will create jobs accessible to persons with low and moderate incomes.
This grant will fund most of the capital expense represented by the recycling
containers. Obtaining this grant made the decision to expand the service much
easier.
Recycling containers and collection services will be provided to all of the 12,000
residences essentially free of charge in 1984. Annual general refuse collection
and City administration charges were scheduled in the contract to increase to
$73.50. By utilizing grants, the reserve balance in the refuse fund and a portion
of the administration fee on a one-time basis, the remaining costs of containers,
recycling collections and publicity will be funded as part of the $73.50 charge.
For what they were going to pay for refuse collection alone, residents will also
receive recycling containers and collection services. Containers were delivered in
the spring. ReCyCo will provide collection services at a rate of $.20 per stop.
Conclusions: Several intertwined factors contributed to the success of the St.
Louis Park recycling program. Polyethylene containers provided a convenient
vehicle and constant reminder to recycle. Semi-monthly collection encouraged
residents to adopt arecyclingbehavior. These two factors worked in tandem to make
recycling successful. St. Louis Park also had a relatively active and well-
educated citizenry which was probably more inclined to support and participate in
such a program. Public education efforts were comprehensive, readily available,
and brought into the pilot areas. St. Louis Park also needed to collect data from
only two companies - Woodlake and ReCyCo - in order to evaluate the effectiveness of
the recycling program. Whether the whole of these factors made St. Louis Park
unique is academic. What is important is that this chemistry worked.
Few programs like St. Louis Park's exist elsewhere in the country. The results of
St. Louis Park's project were similar to those of the Santa Rosa program from which
it was adapted. In Santa Rosa, however, residents paid less for refuse services if
they recycled. St. Louis Park residents recycled with no clear pecuniary benefit.
St. Louis Park has established a model for curbside/alleyside solid waste source
separation which is effective and popular. It should be easily adapted toavariety
of settings. The program is premised on the need to makeaserviceforanunderlying
public purpose as convenient and easy as possible. While recycling containers may
seemexpensive,.theyrepresent anon-recurringcost. The impact they have in terms
of increasing the amount of material recycled ~hows that recycling containers are a
wise, effective investment.
The experience gained during the pilot recycling program shows tha~recycling has an
important role in overall waste abatement plans. If implemented fully, recycling
can extend landfill life and reduce the required capacity in large resource recovery
facilities. It will create private sector jobs inagrowingpartof the solid waste
industry. And, most importantly, recycling will save the scarce resources - land,
water, and virgin material - on which future generations will depend.

say defined contribution must be part of
the pension package. '
A surprise move to enact an major pension bill at the 1984 session was begun at a
/islative commission on pensions and retirement hearing on April 12. The proposal, which
~not appear on the announced agenda, has the support of the Department of Finance and~ is
being authored by Representative John Sarna and Senator Collin Peterson, Chair and Vice
Chair, respeqtively, of the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement. The proppsal
as written seems unbelievably generous. It provides for the following benefit increases:
A. Pension'Guarantee.
B. Rule of 85 until June 30, 1987.
C. 3% reduction factors for all funds.
Age requirement for retirement at 55 with 10 years of service, or at any age with 30
years of service.
100% joint and survivor, death while eligible. Spouse vests for deferred benefit when
member would have been eligible.
Remove waiting periods for elected survivor benefits at disability or retirement, and
the 90 day period for commencement of disability..
MSRS correctional and PERA/P-F will earn 2.5% for first 25 years of service instead of
current 2.5% for first 20 years. Rule of 75 until June 30, 1987.
Basic members would have maximum survivor benefits raised from $700 to $1,000. Minimum
amount would be raised from 30% to 50%.

As you will note, from the contribution rate changes proposed, if enacted as proposed,
political subdivisions with employees in the PERA coordinated plan would stand to realize an
immediate game by reduced employer contributions from the current 5q% of salary down to 4%
of salary. The bill as outlined, contained no proposal to recapture any of that savings for
the'State of Minnesota. However, there appear to be 3 causes for concern that these
apparent savings are illusory. 1) The proposed reduction in contribution rates simply means
that the fund will not be 100% funded as quickly as if the current contribution rate were
maintained, assuming that benefits are not raised to simply absorb whatever additional
contributions are going in. Of course, the elimination of the extra 1~% of salary
contribution rate for retirement of the deficit, would achieve a 50/50 employer/employee
contribution rate which the League has long advocated. 2) The elimination of the employer
extra contribution for the coordinated plan might be deleted in the legislative process
while the promise benefits increases are left to emerge into law. 3) Some sort of provision
recapturing some or all of the local government savings for the state could be added to the
.age on the floor or in conference committee.
The finance department's, interest in this package appears to be to fund the teachers
retirement associations deficits by reduced contribution rates to some of the various state
io ',3

retirement programs. What is irontic is that they have not proposed to reduce the
contribution rates to the PERA police and fire fund, one of the best funded plans in the
public employees systems of .the state. Apparently the Department of Finance had no interest
in reducing costs to local government where they felt they had no political opportunity to
capture any of the savings. "
The' package also contains a proposal for PERA to refund the extra 2% of salary withheld from
employees during the fiscal crisis of 1982-83. If this is to be done, the bill should also
provide for reimbursement of the fund by the state. Without reimbursement by the state, the
fund (all members) a~e the loosers. At the time the money was extracted, all the
legislators and the Governor viewed the'transaction as a borrowing from the pension fund.
That loan should not now be turned into theft.
The entire package seems improvident in that there are very significant benefit increases at
the same time as the~e are significant reductions i~ the contribution rate to the various
plans aSide from the teachers plans. The proposed changes in assumed rates of yield on
investments have not been borne out by Minnesota public pension plan experience over the
last 10 years. Thus it seems rash to predict that an 8% yield on investments will occur in
the future. Wouldn't it be better to be conservative in this regard. Additionally,
implementing the benefit increases proposed may create an additional acturial liability too
..great to permit consideration a defined contribution plan anytime in the near future.
It al~o questionable whether the benefit to local governments derived from t~e dropping of'
the employer extra qontribution rate for coordinator employees, matches the risk to the
funds of implementing rule of 85 (though the proposal is to provide a 3 year window,
politically, it seems unlikely that rule of 85 once granted in any form will ever be
discontinued) and the 3% reduction factor for early rgtirement along with the other promised
benefits. Thus, though the League has an official policy position in favor of
discontinuance of the employer extra contribution for the coordinated.plan members, unless
we can assure future pension costs stability and employer personnel flexibility by
implementing the defined contribution plan as a part of this package, the proposal is,
on balance, likely to be detrimental to the interests of cities and other local units of
government.
We urge you to take immediate action to contact your Senator and Representative. Please ~
indicate that unless a defined contribution program for present employees who elect such ~
coverage and for those newly hired, can be implemented as a part of the package. You oppose
any changes in the pension areas until next legislative session, so that more deliberate
consideration to all factors can'be given. Also urge ~hose legislators to reduce the
contribution rate to the PERA police and fire fund.

/o j'
This project involves grading, concrete curb & gutter, bituminous, bas~,~-
bituminous surfacing, concrete retaining walls and Bridge 27609 on CR 125 in the
Cities of Mound and Spring Park.
Through traffic will be excluded from the project when the construction
operations are started within the roadbed until the time that all work within the
roadbed and Bridge 27609 is completed.
Boat traffic under the bridge will be maintained at all times. The Contractor
will provide protection for the boat traffic from any hazards which may exist
during the construction operations.
Construction operations will be started on or before May 15, 1984. No work that
will disturb the gas main on the existing bridge will be permitted prior to May
17.
All work within 'the roadbed and the bridge will be completed within 60 working
days. The Contractor will be allowed an additional 15 working days to complete
all work including final cleanup.
Liquidated damages of $50 per calendar day will be assessed for failure to
complete all work within 75 working days. ~
Liquidated d~nages of $500 per calendar day will be assessed for failure to
complete the work within the roadway and Bridge No. 27609 within 60 working days.
All materials used on the project will be state inspected.
~All right of way is obtained south of the bridge. Right of Entry on th.e°north
end will be obtained on May 15.
Gary Wheaton of C. S: McCrossan, indicated they would like to start their removal
operations on the 15th of May. He also delivered the project bar chart, work
schedule and list of sub-contractors and material suppliers.
Larry Nelson of NSP requested some stakes for the purpose of relocating the power
poles on the project. R. M. Davis said that he would stake right of way for that
purpose.
Larry Matsumoto of Minnegasco mentioned that they would be cutting and capping
existing 3" main on or prior to May 17th; also made McCrossan aware that they
(Minnegasco) wo~ld be furnishing 6" metal sleeves for abutments to facilitate new
gas main installation.
Bob Shanley of Mound mentioned that the City had 'a 3" cast iron sewer pipe and a
1 1/2" copper water service into the house on south side of the bridge. Plans
indicate they should not be in the way of construction.
Dave Goman of the City of Spring Park wanted the various utility adjustments
brought to the Contractor's attention. Also, that the new hydrant location has
not been finalized. Don Shaffer said.he was aware of the problem and he would
work with the City on a solution. The City also would like a 24-hour shut-off
notice for residents during the hydrant move. They also will be supplying a new
hydrant.
-2-
The Contractor and Cities agree to move the hydrant prior to the .start of bridge
removal.
H.B.R. Larson from West-Tonka School District was concerned when the~ road would
be reopened to traffic. Gary Wheaton of McCrossan said they plan on opening the
bridge August 6 which would be before school opened.
Fran Nellis of McCrossan's asked about two lines that are hung on the bridge.
Cities of Spring Park and Mound thought they were the abandoned sewer and water
lines for residents on the south side of the bridge.
Mayne Woo, Design Division, questioned McCrossan on the paint systam for the
bridge. Contractor replied that all of the painting will be done in the field.
The fabricator will only paint the contact surfaces.
With no further questions or comments, the conference was adjourned at 10:35 AM.

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE
MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
March 5, 1984
A special meeting of the Board of Managers of the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was called to order by
Chairman Cochran at 4:35 p.m. on Monday, March 5, 1984, in the
conference room at E. A. Hickok and Associates, 545 Indian
Mound, Wayzata, Minnesota.
Managers present:
Cochran, Andre, Lehman, Thomas
and manager designate McWethy.
Also present were board advisors Panzer, Reep and Macomber.
In addition, Mike Johnson of the City of Minnetonka and Mike
Eastling of the City of Richfield were present on.behalf of the
Cities.
The managers reviewed draft policy statements on storm
water runoff management, floodplain regulation, soil loss and
sedimentation control, dredging and work in the beds of
protected waters.
The proposed policy statement on storm water runoff
was reviewed. Discussion focused on whether the policy
statement should set as its goal the reduction in the rates of
runoff on a subwatershed or regional basis. Managers requested
the staff to revise the statement to reflect the goal of
reduction in rates of runoff in the upper watershed and
Wherever possible in other areas of the District.
The policy statement on floodplain regulation was
discussed. The managers directed the staff to make revisions
to clarify that the goal of the policy was the reduction of
high water levels which can cause damage to both improved and
unimproved properties.
The policy statement on soil loss and sedimentation
control was reviewed. The managers requested that the staff
revise the policy document to apply to more than erosion
arising from construction practices and also to address the
need to identify and improve erosion prone areas.
The draft policy statement on dredging was then
reviewed by the board. The board directed the staff to make
revisions to more generally state the objectives sought to be
accomplished in this policy.
The board then reviewed the draft of the policy
statement on work in beds of public waters. The board
requested revision from the staff to clarify the extent to
which the policy statement wa~ limited to public projects.
There being no further business to come before the
special meeting, Chairman Cochran declared the special meeting
adjourned at 6:35 p.m.

INFORMATION
LABOR MARKET CONDITIONS
Vol. 8 No. 4 APRIL 1984
· Developments from a Month Ago
Labor market conditions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area showed little
change between January and February. The unemployment rate dropped to 5.3 percent from
a revised 5.5 percent in January, slightly more than the average month-to-month decline
of 0.1 of a percentage point. This minute alteration resulted from both increased em-
ployment and corresponding decreased unemployment levels as the labor force remained
unusually stable. Compared to changes in previous years, net employment gains were
most pronounced in the manufacturing and government sectors.
Developments from'a Year Ago
The local economy continues to post large gains in the level of employment. Total em-
,m~Dloyment has increased by 5.5 percent since February 1983. This represents the largest
mercentage rise since the recovery commenced and is indicative of national trends. The
. ~m~win Cities, in fact, surpassed the national growth rate of 4.8 percent. Part of the
growth stems from labor force increases - new entrants and the return of discouraged
workers as conditions improve. But most of it has come from the ranks of unemployed'

Three Month Outlook.
The Twin Cities should continue to see improved labor market conditions in the upcoming
months from both seasonal and cyclical factors. Based on records for the last fourteen
years, the unemployment rate on average slips 0.6 of a percentage point from February
to May. From'these seasonal influences alone, we should see this rate fall to 4.7 per-
cent. These spring changes are usually due to net employment increases in the con-
struction and trade sectors. With building permits and retail sal~s maintaining their
present strong levels, there is little reason to expect otherwise. Moreover, the
cyclical effects of continued high production in the area's base industries ought'.to
exert additional doWnward pressure. The average workweek in manufacturing continues to
increase and initial unemployment claims, another leading indicator, has posted de-
creases in the first three mont'hs of~this year. Both purport continued growth in em-
ployment.
A sharp increase in the size of the labor force could, blunt the downward trend in unem-
ployment rates. Records indicate that this occurs as a recovery period continues.
Potential sources of job seekers not currently in the labor force include discouraged
workers not counted among the unemployed, reentrants to the labor force, persons movinQ
into the area, new gradua]tes from school and students desiring part-time work. The
increase i~ mitigated by retirees who need to be replaced. Due to demographic changes,
and slowing female 'participation rates, the labor force is not expected to rise as fast
as during the last two recoveries. The metro growth rate during the past year was 2.3
percent, slower than'in all non-recessionary periods during the 70's and early 80's.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS
In order to track the performance of the
economy above and beyond employ-
and unemployment statistics, the
following table will be published on a
regular monthly basis. Nine indicators
specific to the Minneapolis-St. Paul
metropolitan area have been selected.
Used in conjunction with employment
levels and the unemployment rate, the
indicators chart the economic condition
of the area. Changes in Weekly Manufac-
turing Hours, the Mortgage Rate, Resi-
dential Building Permits and Initial Un-
employment Insurance Claims tend to
foreshadow employment, whereas Total UI
Claimants, the Help Wanted Index and Re-
tail Sa~es are roughly coincident indi-
cators. The Consumer Price and Employ-
ment Cost Indices are helpful benchmarks
in that the level of economic activity
· contains both price.and quantity compo-
nents. The CPI can be used to discount
the effect of price increases on Retail
Sales so real dollar volume is reflect-
The Employment Cost Index, released
terly, measures -changes in wages,
aries, and benefits paid to employ-
ees. It tends to lag the CPI in cycli-
cal fluctuations.

EIqPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS CONDITIONS
Developments from Last Month
The number of wage and salary job~ in establishments located in the Minneapolis-
St. Paul metropolitan area continued to increase in February. After adjusting for nor-
mal seasonal variations in the work force, most industries either added workers or
maintained their January level. The two exceptions were the con'struction industry
which cutback jobs slightly more than usual and the government sector which added work-
ers at a slightly slower than usual rate. Numerically, about 4,500 jobs were added in
the government sector between January and February. Most of these additional jobs were.
in local and state educational services. The service industry continued to expand with
an additional 1,500 jobs being created throughout this diverse industry sector.. The
manufacturing sector posted an increase in jobs for the eleventh time in the past thir-
teen months with the most jobs being added in the computer subgroup of nonelectrical
machinery and rubber and plastic products manufacturers.
Developments from a Year Ago
The Twin Cities area economy showed very strong growth in the fourth quarter of 1983
and has apparently continued this expansion into the first quarter of 1984. Prelimi-
nary estimates for February show that the number of jobs in the Twin Cities area is
.about 48,000 above the number in February 198~ This compares favorably with recovery
periods in February 1972-1973 when the number of jobs increased by 51,700. It lags
somewhat behind the performance of the areas economy between February 1977 and February
1978 and the following year, February 1978 to February 1979 when over 57,000 jobs were
added each year.- In contrast to pas~ expansions, the service sector has been a greater
source of jobs having added ove~ 17,400 in the past year. In the 1977-1979 perio(
employment in the services sector e~panded by 12,200 the first.year and 15,000 the se-
cond year. -As was mentioned several months ago, a significant portion 6f the increase
in service sector employment is taking place in the personnel supply services subgroup.
Nationally, t~tal service industry employment increased by 892,000 in 1983. Employment
in personnel supply services increased by nearly 275,000, or 47 'percent, which far sur-
passed the next largest industry group, health services, which grew by 123,400. The
nature of temporary employment agencies is probably masking the demand for labor in
other industries, such as manufacturing and trade, to which personnel supply agencies
provide workers on a temporary basis.
Three Month Outlook
Prospects for job growth in the Minneapolis-St. Paul labor market ~re~ during the se-
cond quarter of 1984 are the most positive they have been since 1979. Demand for p~o-
duction workers in manufacturing is expected to be strong in the next quarter. The
length of the average workweek is at a historically high level. Expectations of in-
creased capital goods spending are higher than in recent years which should increase
the demand for goods produced by Twin Cities are~ manufacturers. McGraw-Hill Inc.'s
check-up survey of capital spending, conducted in January and February, concludes that
businesses have significantly upgraded their capital spending intentions in recent
months. They intend to increase spending by 16.9 percent this year compared to a de-
cline of 4.2 percent last year. In addition to strong cyclical demand in manufactur-
ing, construction activity is expected to be stronger than in recent years. January
1984 total residential bu.ilding permits were slightly below the level of January 1983
but were hi~her than any o.ther year since 1976. Additional building activity can
anticipated because of improved business conditions in commercial-industrial buildin~
as compared to last year. Retail trade and the service sector are also expected to ex-
pand at a more rapid rate than in the past five years during the first half of 1984.
This should provide a strong source of jobs for students entering the job market this
summer.

QUARTERLY FOCUS
EMPLOYMENT GROWTH: HOW DO THE TWIN CITIES RATE?
A current concern among local administrators, business leaders, politicians and resi-
dents is whether the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is falling behind other
parts of the country in terms of economic growth. Using change in employment as an in-
dicator, the table on the facing page compares the Twin Cities to other metropolitan
areas with labor forces exceeding 250,000. These areas are listed by region and ranked
according to structural growth over the last full business cycle. Data from October is
used so seasonal factors are mitigated.
Of the 76 areas listed, the Twin Cities fared better than average to rank 34th with an
annual employment growth rate of 2.8 percent since October 1976. This leads all SMSA's
in the North Central region and almost all of them in the East, but is lower than most
of the West, the one part of the country where every metropolitan center has shown
solid, if not extraordinary growth. Employment growth in the Southern cities are a
patchwork, with those in Texas and Florida experiencing more Western style boom pat-
terns. Taking a narrower view of employment growth to include only those jobs added in
the past year's recovery, one finds less distinct patterns among the regions. Many
· areas that have high one-year employment grow%h are merely adding back jobs lost during
the past recession. Others without such cyclical economies have remained at constant
'growth rates and still others have seen growth decline recently. The Twin Cities rank
15th in this shorter time frame, again tops in the North Central region.
To assess the economic prospects for the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, let's
look more closely at those areas which have experienced substantial structural growth.
In choosing-these "model cities" not only is long-term growth essential, but also bet-
ter then average recovery growth and lower than average unemployment rates. After
eliminating those SMSA's belonging to a broader labor market (Nassau-Suffolk as part of
Greater New York, for example), a total of eleven areas which exceed the Twin Cities
growth rate of 2.8 percent meet all three criteria. They are:
Orlando San Jose 'Oklahoma City
Austin Dallas Denver
Phoenix Tucson San Diego
San Antonio
Washington D.C.
What do they have in con~on? First, all but two of them - the whimsical economies of
Orlando and Washington, D.C., site of Walt Disney World and the Federal Government re-
spectiVely - are located in the Southwest. But not all areas in that part of the coun-
try are as successful. Some experienced high unemployment rates as of October 1983,
most notably Las Vegas at 9.2 percent and Fresno at 11.5 percent' Others have experi-
enced slower rates of job growth - Tulsa actually lost workers. So while geographic
location may aid an area's standing, it does not ensure it. The eleven areas share
some common characteristics with regard to their economic structure. First, all eleven
areas have a high proportion of their employment in one or more of the following indus-
tries' Mining (Metals/Oil/Gas); High-Tech Durable Goods Manufacturing (Office and Com-
puting Equipment/Electronics/Scientific Instruments/Aircraft and ~4issiles); Recreation
(Lodging/Eating and Drinking Places) and Federal Government (Military Installations).
Secondly, in seven of the areas, employment is highly concentrated in one or two of
these "boom" industries. Rapid growth appears to be ~ linked to highly specialized
economies. The Twin Cities area, with a High-Tech Durable Goods growth base, has ~
more divers~ economy like Denver, Dallas, Tucson and San Antonio.

THE JOB MARKET
Many requests are received by the LMI Center for information on specific occupations as
opPosed to general categories. As there are thousands of classified.occupations, the
tabulation and presentation of data becomes quite cumbersome. Therefore, we have cho-
sen to focus on selected occupations with the table below depicting those with the
greatest number of openings at a recent date. They are grouped by occupational cate-
gory to present a clearer idea of the types of jobs currently in demand. The top five
occupations in each group are represented, though one must have at least ten current
openings to make the list, otherwise the next largest from another category is select-
ed. For each of the twenty-five jobs chosen, their number last year and an average of
the years of education and experience required by those employers listing them are
.given. We intend to present this information quarterly.
There are limitations on using the data. Please note that the openings are tallies
from the listings at the Job Service offices and do not capture employment opportuni-
ties which do not reach this clearinghouse. Therefore, comparisons within occupational
groups may be more meaningful than among them. Likewise, relative levels and trends
are better indicators than the pure numbers. Another drawback is that the data does
not take into account the supply of labor, only the demand. Information is available
on Job Service applicants, but it is less timely and subject to coding complications
for those with mul.tiple abilities. .
