Additionally, they have submitted a request for a sign permit. Each proposal will be reviewed separately in this report. _ OONDITIfINAL USE PERMIT RH~LIEST: The applicant- is requesting the approval of a Conditional Use Penmit to operate a Class 3 restaurant in the central business (B-l) zone. On July 7, 1983, the City received a request frcm the Moys for a zonir~ amendment to permit liquor service restaurants in the B'i zone. On October 3, 1983, the City Council established Class 3 restaurants (definition enclosed) as conditional uses in the B-1 zone. The Moy application is the first to be processed under the ordinance revision. _ . COMMENTS: ~ne House of Moy is presently operating as a Class 1 restaurant. The subject proposal calls for the expansion of the existing dinin~ area, the remodelin~ of the kitchen facilities and the service of intoxicating liquors. The only planning issues contained in the proposal pertain to parking. The added seating capacity will increase the demand for parking in the area, however, adjacent parking lots are large enough to adequately handle the additional demand. Plannir~ Cu~u~ssion and Staff Page/%9 April 4, 1984 CASE NO. 84-315 & 84-316 RECOMMENDATION: In July of 1983, the Plannin~ C~ission found that liquor service restaurants were appropriate in the CBD. Because of this, staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the House of Moy l~estaurant as a Class 3 restaurant facility. SIGN PERMIT REQUEST: The House of Moy Restaurant has requested a permit for the installation of two wall signs occupyin~ a total area of approximately 98 square feet (49 square feet each). COMMENTS: The House of Moy Restaurant presently contains a roof sign labeled as "Existing Sign Structure" on the enclosure. This sign measures approximately 72 square feet. The existing Mound Si~n Ordinance, Section 55.38, states that "No sign larger than four (4) feet in one of its dimensions and no lor~3er than nine (9) square feet in area shall be constructed without a written permit fr~m the City Council first having been secured." There is no permit on record for the existir~ House of Moy sign. Hence, it is technically an illegal sign since it exceeds both the 4-foot minimum length and the 9-square foot area standard. The two new signs added to the existin~ sign would equal a total area of approximately 170 square feet. Section 55.38, the existi~ Mound Sign Code, does not establish standards for the review of signage in excess of 9 square feet. Because of this, the Planning Commission has the latitude to employ whatever they consider to be reasonable criteria. In defining reasonable criteria, one approach is to refer ko the proposed sign ordinance draft. The proposed sign ordinance, which is admittedly not complete at this time, pewits .wall signs for businesses in the B-1 District. According to the draft provisions, such signs cannot exceed 10 percent.of the total .wall area up to 48 square feet in area, whichever is smaller. The House of Moy Restaurant has a front wall measuring 93 x 14 feet for a' total of 1,302 square feet. Since 10 percent of 1,302 feet equals 130 square feet, 48 square feet would be the maximum sign area permissible under the draft ordinance. The existing 'signage coupled with the new proposed signs totals 170 square feet which is 3-1/2 times the amount of the total allowable sign area in the draft ordinance. The ordinance draft further prchibits roof signs in all districts. ~ON: The Moy signa~e request ccmes at an interestir~ time since it provides a "real life" application of the standards in the proposed sign ordinance draft. The request raises two questions which must be addressed by the Planning Ccmmission: (1) are roof signs appropriate in Mound and (2) w~at maximum signage area should be permitted within the central business (B-l) zone? If the.Planning Ccmmission feels that the 48-square foot maximum contained in the ordinance draft is reasonable, the subject request should be denied and the applicant should be directed to m~dify the existing sign. If the Planning Commission feels that the 48-square foot maximum is overly restrictive, it should either suggest an acceptable maximum area or approve the Moy request which will establish 170 square feet or approximately 13.5 percent of the total wall area as the allowable maximum. Plannir~ Cu~,~,ission and Staff Page Three April 4, 1984 CASE NO. 84-315 & 84-316 For comparative purposes, the 'following is a list of wall area signage permissible in business districts by the listed communities. These communities were selected only because copies of their ordinances were available in our files. Columbia Heights - 100 square feet Shakopee - signage not to exceed the s~m~ of 3 square feet f. or each front foot of buildir~3 plus 1 square foot for each front foot of building siding on a s.treet. No individual signify3 shall exceed 200 square feet of area per s igna~e face. Apple Valley - 40 square feet Woodbury - 15 percent of wall area. 150 square feet~ No individual sign shall exceed Wayzata - 20 percent of wall area CASE NO. 84-315 · Restaurant Definitions Restaurants (Class I).

Because of developments in the LOst Lake and Town Square projects, I am proposing to reallocate funds in four separate funds, i.e. PRESENT REVISED FUNDS BALANCE. BALANCE AVAILABLE 712/756 9,344 4,000 5,344 752/757 17,420 5,000 12,420 252 5,822 -0- 5,822 754 25,000 10,000 15,000 TOTALS 57,585 19,OO0 38,585 This balance would be transferred to: 755 8,778 38,'585 47,363 This should allow us to complete everything listed in a timely manner. I am putting this on the April 10th Agenda. Does this all seem O.K.? On a separate issue, I didn't pursue the allocation of $5,000 for 'Rental Rehab the other evening since I don't have any proposed projects or units. As we get some, I will take $5,000 either from this years or the'new proposal.' With that exception, the Council unanimously approved the 1984 proposal. A resolution will follow soon. JE: fc enc. //3g ' o~ ~ ~1 :~ ~ 0 [-- 0 I I 0 I I I I 0 o o 0 0 ~ I 0 Z 0 o NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF FUNDS REMAINING 017 - WESTONKA SENIOR HOUSING These are the remaining unused funds left over from the land purchase for the Senior Citizen Building on Commerce Blvd. We have earmarked the $6,496 balance for further landscaping once the project is completed. The initial landscape is very sparce to say the least. ~ - SPECIAL ASSESSMENT GRANTS '.' Each year we have set aside funds to assist any applicants who might be eligible for any new special assessment projects· We don't have any projects and I've again set funds aside in the 1984-85 Budget. Consequently, by eliminating this from the 1983-84 project, we .~re not eliminating this option for the future· Balance $5,822. ~72 - REHABILITATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY These funds are set aside for further housing rehabilitation. These are contracted thru Hennepin County. Although not spent, the $25,332 balance has been fully obligated to Mound residents. 712/756 - DOWNTOWN DESIGN 6RANTS With a balance of $9,344, based on the applications we've seen up to this point and those I~am aware of, I think we could reduce this balance down t'o $4,000. 752/757 - REDUCED INTEREST COMMERCIAL LOANS Initially, this program was where the action was, but once we received the $100,000 of HUD Jobs Bill Funds (the 2% Loan Program), that has picked up the slack. This was meant to be a Store Front Improvement Program that would integrate the Downtown Design Proposal by using 712/756 (above) with 752/757. With a balance of $17,420 and no applications on hand, I think we could reduce this balance to $5,000 and reallocate these funds to the Lost Lak'e and Town Square Projects. ' 754 - TONKA TOYS PLANT REUSE Initially, we set aside $25,000 to develop a marketing plan for finding a buyer for the Tonka facility. This seems to have been accomplished. The next step is to develop a community marketing plan to secure new businesses for the facility. I feel this effort will cost $10,000. Thus, I am proposing-.to reduce this balance from $25,000 to $10,000. 755 - DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT FINANCING STUDY This is the fund I would propose to transfer the surplus funds into. On the drawing boards we have the following: Lost Lake Soil & Hazardous Waste Study Town Square Soil & Land Survey Lost Lake Housing Marketing Study Misc. Studies & Evaluations $20,000 5,000 10,000 2,000 TOTAL . $37,000 With a balance of $8,778, the. fund is clearly short· By transferring funds from the following projects, these activities can be completed. PRESENT REVISED FUNDS BALANCE BALANCE AVAILABLE 712/756 9,344 4,000 5,344 · .752/757 17 , 420 5,000 12,420 252 5,822 - -0- 5,822 754 25,000 fO,O00 15,000 TOTALS $57,585 $19,000 $38,585 In the 1984-85 Projects I have tried to pick up the areas we are reducing (because of lack of demand). 803/808 - ADMINISTRATION Balance $5,604. I've been working for the last two months on ~ developing a special consultant position (i.e. Bill Husbands) in the areas of commercial and economic development. I have spoken with'a number of "experts" who think it could add a great deal to our abilities when negotiating with Balboa and other developers, particularly when '~'t comes to securing new business development. Although my thoughts on this are coming together, I don't expect to have them to you before the April lOth Meeting: I would propose to use the majority of these fu~d~ for the demonstration effort. Thus I would leave it as it is. 914 - REMOVAL OF ARCHITECTURAL BARRIERS % This project was used to fund the handicapped ramp at the Pond Arena. The cost was $2,300, of which these funds contributed $1,250. If any of these funds remain unspent as we go into this Fall, I think as the next m_ajor project on City Hall we need to combine HUD cDBG funds and Federal Revenue Sharing funds to ~//stall an elevator in City Hall. Jan is presently putting the estimates together, but I am projecting the costs to be I/vi 10. around $50,000. I think this would satisfy one of the biggest problems ~he City has, other than not having a p~ace to store Public Work's equipment. 934 - COMMERCIAL FIX-Up/pAINT-UP Remaining balance $3,391. An important but small program, it has reached several businesses we otherwise wouldn't have, i.e. Mound 'K' Station, Century Auto Body. Hopefully, business for this program will increase as Summer. comes. If we don't have any takers by June 30th, I would' propose eliminating the effort rather than lose the funds.

Phone: 472-4201 The applicant has filed for an approximately 3 foot variance'to allow for.an addition to his home of a 12 foot by 28 foot.three season porch with a full base- ment beneath it. The existing open deck is to be removed. The topography of the lot toward Rigdewood Road has an excavation cut i. nto the hill. This was done ~hen the foundation was rebuilt in 1973 with no variance requested, or evidently required. The previously approved variance was for the detached accessory build- ing at the rear of the property (16.6 foot setbaci~, City Code Section 23.407.5 presently requi.res a 20 ~oot setback to L~nn~ello~ The attached survey indi- cates a propospd addition to his detached garage. I have discussed this with the applicant as it would be 44 feet by 24 feet = 1,056 square feet. Section 23.407.3 states "no accessory building shall exceed lO percent of the lot area, and in no case exceed 840 square feet except by conditional use permit. He may decide to file for a conditional use permit or construct an additional accessory structure on his property. Granting of the variance would allow Mr. Yule to use his addition foundation to retain the soil and remove his existing retaining wall which was.constcucted during the 1973 construction project. Comment: Staff can only mention that this is a man-made, not a natural topography problem. The present structure is a~proximately 25 feet to the curb of the street and the addition would be somewhat in line with the garage ~ariance granted in 1977.

When the plat for Mack's Addition was filed with the Registrar of Titles and/or Register of Deeds, the City could have required the house to be removed before filing it or relocate the cul-de-sac far- ther to the west. The house is also located across, two of the platted lots which could have been corrected prior to the time of filing the plat in 1958. (House is 70 years old). Another Problem, which arose during the street improvement program of 1978, is the topography of the lot.has a hill next to the platted cul-de-sac. With the house so close to the front property line, the improvement of a full cul- de-sec, as platted, would have required an approximately 8 foot retaining wall within 10 to t5 feet from the house. Now, the road is designed as per Exhibit A. In September of 1.981, Lot 9 decided to construct a detached garage within ll feet of the front property line. The City than granted the variance plus vacated the west quarter circle of the cul-de-sac. Now, you can see that a relatively recent plat has problems just as severe as the 100 year old Island Perk. We did, however, retain the utility easements for the~pipes that ~ou see on Exhibit A. The applicant is also planning to do approximately $30,000 in remodeling to a struc- ture that is appraised at $30,000 by the Hennepin County Appraiser.

Explanation follows: The physical characteristic of the subject property that.prompts t-his reque~ for a zoning variance is the location of the house in relation'to the'piatted cul- de-sac. The variance, if approved, would Waive the front-yard set-back requirement of 30' and the side line requirement of 10'. The distances of-the house from the actual street "Y" are indicated on the Site Plan. A visual inspection of the neighborhood at the end of Langdon Lane would' show that the house, despite its age, esthetically blends in well with the other houses in the neighborhood and. conforms in a very acceptable way with the present road configuration of Langdon Lane. There is no indication that it is out of place--~ither too close ~°.the. · street or the neighboring'houses. It is not possible to move the house (other than up and down on its present site) a distance from the non-existant.cul-de-sac because, if it were.moved, it' would.have to be brought "~p to code" in all .respects. In .addition, moving' the house would preclude the.possibility of a walk-oUt.basement.

Explanation follows: It appears from Item 50 (Doc. No. 3149120) of the Abstract of Title to Lots 6 and 7, Block 1, Mack's Addition, that on November 10, 1958, Walter M. Mack and Vera M. Mack, his wife (owners and proprietors).donated.and dedicated to-The Public all of Lot 33, Koehler's Second Addition to Mound and part of' Lot 34, Koehler's Second Addition to Mou~d, subject to.Utility .and Drainage easements'- shown on an annexed plat.. Note: The plat is not annexed to the prgsent owners! ' Abstract of Tftle. If the plat for Mack's Addition.was prepared and the street and cul-de-sac (a~ amended.in 1982) laid out.in.1958, while the original house was built in 185'6, it is apparent that the house pre-dates said plat by more than 100 years.. · .. . ' Since the house pre-dates by so many yehrs the plat that shows the Cul-de-' sac, relief is requested from hardship under this unusual situation,which was not intended or foreseen when the zoning ordinance was adopted... It is apparent that at the time of the designation of the street and cul-de-sac oM Langdon Lane, the plat makers assumed that the old house would be demolished by the time street improvements were made to Langdon Lane. One of the neighbors has told the owners that the neighborhood was led to believe in the early 1960's that Mr. and Mrs. Mack at that time did intend to demolish the house and build a new, grand structure. thaZ plan. Financial considerations were reported to have aborted Page 3 Further, the cul-de-sac formerly on the west side of Langdon Lane was vacated by the City in 1982 at the request of the owner of Lot 9, who subse- quently had a garage constructed in his front yard. It~therefore seems reasonable to conclude that the subject house on Lots 6 and 7 remaining on its. present site (where the original structure was built about 1856) will in no way interfere with one-half of a platted cul-de-sac that remains on the east side of Langdon Lane. The owners of Lots 5, 6 and 7 were informed at the time of the vacation of the cul-de-sac on the wes~ side of Langdon Lane that the revised city plat would show no cul-de-sac but would Show a "Y" turnar°und.' This "Y" turnaround was subsequently installed by the City, the western segment of which is between Lots 7 and 8, and the eastern segment of which.i~ close to .the northern extended property line of Lot 6.

Dawson and Clint Pires How do you address the two-headed problem of rising refuse disposal costs and diminishing landfill space? It'sadilemmafacingmanycommunitiesinthecountry. It's an issue that one Twin Cities suburb is taking an innovative risk to meet head- on. St'. L6uis 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 throughaStructured program of public education, strategic implementation, and close monitoring and 'evaluation. It resulted in a City-wide recycling program, a pro. gram characterized by the highest pilot-phase participation rates in the state. Source separation recycling is ariskyventure 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 o~- assisted and failed because the "novelty" of the issue wore off and markets for recyclables were depressed during an economic recession. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, recycling gained popularity as a legitimate, low-c°st waste abatement strategy. Private firms were also collecting and marketing rec~clable 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 le~ching of pollutants from landfills. Water is a valuable resource - surface waters for recreation and aesthetics, and groundwater for most of the region's potable water suPply. New Sanitary landfill siting criteria establi-shed by the Metropolitan Counci.1 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 ri~i~gcosts 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 a crisis 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 re'sident. The latter is less expensive, but requires a ]1")~ commitment to break away from our "throwaway"culture. It has been estimated that preparing materials for recycling takes only two minutes a day. Modifying behavior to spend this small amount of time relied upon a system which was convenient and easy to remember. AssessingConmnunityInterest: 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 andearly1~82. 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. //7? 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, reEycling was the most preferred. Not surprisingly, residents wanted the service to be as inexpensive and convenient as possible. Bearing in mind recycling's tr~ck record, City staff and the consultant worked to find a successful program which would allow residents' behav(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. This approach was successful and appeared adaptable to St. Louis Park. A Pilot Program: 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 a month 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 e'asy comparison of refuse and rec~clables collection figures. 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 landfills if 100 percent of the households participated. All homes in the pilot areas were provided a set of the Recycle-3 polyethylene containers. Asetofcontainersincludedthreestackableunits-adifferentcolor 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 without breaking. fabrication, which could withstand the temperature extremes of Minnesota The only drawback of the containers was their costs: after 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. IlY l Financing the Pilot Program: Grants totalling $56,000 from the federal Community 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 employment of persons using these agencies. Hennepin County provided funds to assist in the demonstration of a curbs~de 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 publi'c education effort is normally required if significant citizen participation and cooperation are 6xpected. 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. B~yond'articles. in newsletters and local newspapers throughout the'~rocess, 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 woulJ 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 werewFitten and designed by City staff in conjunction with Morgan-Williams Associates of Minneapolis. ('il Prior to arrival of the second brochure and containers, City staff held ameeting 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" Minnesotawinber they had just endured. Data on amounts they had recycled to that point were highlighted. Aquestionnairewasalso 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. These public relations execution by City staff. 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 results. program. of the Voluntary Program: The bottom-line questiOn revolved 'around Residents in the pilot areas responded better than expected to the 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 Kate 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 thefollowi6gtablehighlights, the most recycled material was newsprint, followed by glass, metal cans and aluminum. Newsprint Glass Metal Aluminum Total Total (lbs.) Lbs/set-out 542,110 I86,850 92,545 12,975 834,480 20.31 7.00 3.47 0.49 31.26 Throughout the pilot, the amount of newsprint colle'cted was generally a good predictor of the total re'cyclables collected. Data from the questionnaire II indicated that those persons recycling newsprint regularly were also likely to recycle other materials frequently. Newsprint accounted for m°st 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. Acontrolneighborhood without recycling was also identified. This area had demographics similar to those of therecyclingneighborhoods. In the control area, Woodlakecollected4percent 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 doinga 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. was also 14 percent higher However, the amount of material collected per set-out in this neighborhood than the other areas. At a neighborhoodmeeting, some residents sa{8 %heywere Plac~n9 recy¢lable~ 6n ~ke 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. and other materials was the same. The newspapers-regularly was also similar. indicated that they recycled something .The likelihood of recycling newsprint percentages of residents receiving Of the survey respondents, 91 percent 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 general]y recycled some material at least once a month. For comparison, the Santa Ro~a pro~ram counted 76 percent of the homes in its pilot area recycyng 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, beganefforts to expand the recycling program to the remaining 10,000 homes.served by the City's general re~use 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 pilo~ program were minimal; a model for a smooth and relatively trouble-free operation had been established. Financing the City-Wide Program: 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 aportion 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 adoptarecyclingbehavior. 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 ann participate in such aprogram. Public educationeffort~ 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 c6untry. 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 make a service for an underlying public purpose as convenient and easy as possible. While recycling containers~ay seem e~pensive,.they represent a non-recurring'~ost. 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 t~at'recycling has an important role in overall waste abatement plans.

Dear .Mr. Rager: At the City Council meeting of November 15, 1983, you submitted a memorandum to the City Counci. 1 regarding the proposed improve- ments with a schedule for their completion. The City Council granted a temporary license for six (6) months untiJ May 15, 1984. To'date, I have not heard from you qr Tom Loucks & Associates regarding your'on-site improvements. If I do not receive any information from you.by April 15th, 1~84, I will assume you do not want to comply.' I will be forced to recommend to.the City Council that your licenses not be renewed. Sincerely, Jan Bertrand Building Official JB/ms 26/84 cc: Mark Koegler November-IS, 1983 Peterson moved and Faulsen seconded a motion that the improvement of a' tennis court on Outlot A, The Bluffs NOT be made. The vote was unani- { mously in favor. Motion carried. PUBLIC..HEARING; REALLOCATINO OF $1,250.0F 1983 .CDBO FUNDS The City Manager explained that the reallocating of $1,250 of 1983 CDBG Funds is for paying part of the cost of installing a handicapped access at Pond Ice Arena. Jessen-moved and Charon seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION ~83-200 RESOLUTION REALLOCATING $1,250 OF THE 1983 CDBGFUND$ The vote was unanimously in favorl Motion carried. ,CONTINUATION FROM OCTOBER 18TH MEETING; ~HREE POINTS TAVERN LICENSES_., FOR ROGER,,, RAGER DBA o The City Manager explained that he has derived some conditions for the issuance of the licenses from the reports of the City Planner, Police Chief and the Building Official. Mr. Rager was present and asked to present the Council with his answers to those conditions. The conditions and answers were as follows: "1 · "2. "3 · Limit hours the deck may be used from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m." .... Will-be complied with immediately. Complete entrance driveway hard surfacing." ....

He then asked the City Attorney if the City can condition the issuance of licenses. The Attorney stated yes, he believed they could. Mr. Rager stated that he and his planner have come up with an alter- nate idea for a retaining wall that would be as effective but not as costly. Their idea consists of regrading the slope to 3:1, mulching, seeding with Crown Vetch or Ajuga ground cover, and stabilizing the slope and plant material with staked nylon mesh. The City Planner stated that he would agree that this alternate idea could accomplish basically the same thing as a retaining wall but would like to suggest something other than Crown Vetch because it spreads too much. Mr. Rager stated that he is open to suggestions on the type of ground cover to be used. The Council then discussed adopting an Evacuation Ordinance Which~ would set a limit on the time patrons can stay on the property of a licensed liquor establishment past closing time. Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to approve the issuance of temporary "On and Off Sale Beer Licenses" and a set up license to Roger & Gail Rager, dba Three Points Tavern. The licenses shall 'expire on May 15,'1984,to be reviewed by the Council at that time for renewal. The licenses are issued with the above 9 conditions, amending ~4 on the retaining wall to the alternate suggestion by the applicant. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. Charon moved and Paulsen seconded a motion instructing the City Attorney to prepare an Evacuation Ordinance and bring it ba'ck to the Council for adoption. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion car- ried. Charon moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to authorize the issuance of the following temporary licenses to Roger & Gall Rater, dba Three Points Tavern: Pool Table Licenses, Games of Skill Licenses, Juke Box Licenses, Entertainment Permit, Restaurant License, Cigarette License. Licenses to be reviewed May 15, 1983, for renewal. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Rager asked the Council to allow him to respond to the PoliceI Chief's memo of November 10, 1.983, regarding several incidents a+ November·IS, 1983 Three Points Tavern. The Council agreed. Mr. Ra er ¢on cn e a number of the items in the memo were inaccurate. He was in Hawaii when some of the reports listed were made. Also some of th~ ~61ie~ contacts made were due to he or his staff calling the police for help. He gave a detailed account of some of the incidents. pUBLIC, HEARING; 'ZONING CHANGE AMENDING RESTAURANT CLASSIFICATIONS The City Manager explained that this amendment came about when Mrs. Moy was consideration applying for a liquor license for her restaurant and it was discovered that the Zoning Ordinance did not allow liquor in the Central Business District. The Planning Commission asked that 'the Staff prepare an amendment to the zoning ordinance for restaurant classifications. This was done and the Planning Commission and the Staff are now recommending approval. It just needs to be put in ordinance amendment form now. The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak for or against the proposed amendment. There was no comment. The-Mayor closed the public hearing. Charon moved and Paulsen seconded a motion authorizing the Staff to prepare an ordinance amendment as recommended by the Planning Commission and the Staff with regard to restaurant classifications. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. .pUBLIC HEARING; DELINQUENT UTILITY BILLS The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak with regard to a delinquent utility bill.

Signature Signature league of minnesota oities April 27, 1984 TO: FROM: Members, Federal Legislation Committee and Senate District Coordinators Donald A. Slater, Executive Director It is important to contact your Members of Congress from Minnesota to re-emphasize the importance of removing provisions of the House omnibus tax bill (H.R. 4170) that impose state-by-state per capita volume limits on industrial revenue bonds. That bill is due to go to conference in early May to resolve differences with the Senate version of deficit reduction legislation (S.2062). The Senate has included in its consideration of the tax bill a resolution of opposition to the House-proposed IDB volume limit. Efforts by House members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation to urge House tax conferees to accept the Senate position on IDBs are urgently needed. Please take this opportunity to explain the damaging effects of per capita volume limits on Minnesota cities and ask your congressman to assist by supporting efforts to delete the IDB volume restrictions from the final tax conference report. It is expected that the members of the Congressional Tax Conference Committee will meet in early May. This is an opportune moment to make sure they hear from city officials on this matter. The House bill, termed the Federal Limitation Act, is essentially unchanged in its provisions from that proposed late last fall. No additional authority is provided for distressed areas or for many traditional public purpose projects formerly financed with industrial revenue bonds. Restrictions on this basic tool for local economic development would place cities at a severe disadvantage in being able to respond to local industry or to prospects for expanding employment opportunities and strengthening their tax base. When taking up this discussion with House members, it would be helpful to obtain suggestions from them on efforts that could be undertaken to increase support for deletion of IDB volume limits from H.R. 4170. Please relay those suggestions and comments to me to assist efforts to win support for continued local authority to issue these tax-exempt bonds. DAS: mj k 183 universiCy avenue east, st. paul, minnesoca 55101 (612) 227-5600 I 1111 11 . · . I league of m nnesota c t es TO: Mayors, Managers and Clerks April 27, 1984 FROM: Donald A. Slater, Executive Director IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED Action is pending in Congress on major tax legislati~)n which includes vital provisions affecting industrial develop- ment bonds. In early May House and Senate tax conferees will meet to 'determine the final outcome of deficit reduc- tion proposals. Cities must immediately begin to work to dissuade conferees from including a state-by-state per capita volume limit on industrial revenue bonds. The League urges your city to contact (by phone or letter) both Senators Boschwitz and Durenberger to encourage them to insist that the Senate members of the Tax Conference Committee maintain strong opposition to proposals contained in H.R. 4170 that would severely restrict local auth- ority to issue IDBs. (See Action Alert, November 2, 1983.) HOUSE POSITION The House version of the omnibus tax legislation (H.R. 4170) restricts IDB bonding authority of cities as well as municipal leasing and service contracts and contains an extremely narrow definition of public purpose projec exempted from the IDB volume limit. The effect of these provisions would be to place arbitrary limits on the amoun, of bonds cities can issue to finance not only private activities but also many projects approved for traditional public purposes such as sewer and solid waste disposal; wastewater facilities; parking facilities; district heating and cooling operations, etc. SENATE OPPOSITION TO IDB VOLUME LIMITS In contrast to House action, the Senate in considering the tax package (S. 2062) adopted a resolution opposing the per capita limitation on IDBs. Offered by Senator Stennis, in cooperation with Senator Durenberger and approved on the Senate floor on April 12, the amendment, Section 723, states: "It is the sense of the Senate that no per capita limitation be imposed on the face amount of industrial develop- ment bonds." It is extremely important that cities urge both Senators Durenberger and Boschwitz tc~ insist that the Senate Tax conferees, in particular, uphold the Senate position opposing IDB restrictions now contained in H.R. 4170. Cities will want to thank Senator Durenberger for his effort to secure agreement and passage of the Senate resolution of op- position. It is also important to make Senator Boschwitz aware of the harmful effects of the per capita IDB volume limit on cities and to urge him to persuade the White House and U.S. Treasury Department to step aside from earlier support of the volume limit .as a means to control the growth of IDBs. DETAILS OF SENATE IDB PROVISIONS Senate tax legislation provides exemptions for manufactured facilities and UDAG projects from the proposed $40 million aggregate ceiling limitation on bonds outstanding for an individual national firm. The bill also extends the sunset for small issue IDBs from 1986 to 1990. (H.R. 4170 contains no extension of sunset provisions and does not exempt manufacturing facilities or UDAGs.) According to Senate language, IDB financed projects must use straig' line depreciation over extended periods except for multi-family housing, sewage or solid waste disposal, pollutio~m control facilities, and projects receiving UDAG grants. (The House exempts only multi-family housing.) Arbitrage restrictions in the Senate bill would be applied only to student loan bonds while House provisions require Treasury to issue arbitrage regulations similar to those in operation for mortgage subsidy bonds. 183 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (ES12) 227-5800 April 24, 1984 TO: FROM: SRA Communities SRA Attorneys At the meeting of the SRA board last week, there was extended discussion about the progress, or lack of progress, in implementing the recommendations of the Boland Commission concerning the operations of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. The Boland Commission, as you recall, was appointed by Governor Perpich to study the MWCC because there seemed'to be so much concern about the efficiency and cost effectiveness of its operations. The Commission, after some weeks of study, made a series of recommendations. Extracts from the Commission report, including their fourteen major recommendations, are attached hereto. After the Boland Commission report was released it was discussed by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Area Managers Association, the SRA and others. A consensus' developed that there should be legislation which would change the manner in which MWCC commissioners are selected as well as certain other things related to the MWCC and the Metropolitan Council. It was also agreed that some of the recommendations of the Boland Commission could be dealt with through an independent management study which would not, itself, require legislation. It now appears that the legislation was not introduced because of a decision made within the Governor's office. The question remains as to whether the independent management study will go forward. There is some indication that there is resistance to having a study which is independent. It is feared, by those who have been advocating an independent study, that if any study is undertaken at all, it will be done under the control of the MWCC itself. With this in mind, the board of directors of the SRA directed us to prepare a resolution for consideration by the councils of SRA members. The resolution seeks to emphasize the importance of the management study and of making certain that it is an independent study. The resolution is being submitted to you upon the recommendation of the S9A board. If it is adopted by your community, the SRA suggests that copies of it be transmitted to the parties listed in the concluding paragraph of the resolution. GOVERNOR'S CITIZENS COMMISSION TO REVIEW MWCC SUITE 451 245 EAST 6TH STREET ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 December 29, 1983 Governor Rudy Perpich State of Minnesota Office of the Governor St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Dear Governor Perpich: We are presenting you with this report to complete our charge to investigate, in the broadest fashion possible, the Metro- politan Waste Control Commission. Our recommendations cover those areas needing immediate attention, help control and contain costs in the future, and deS%rye attention for their new approaches to solving the probelms of how best to treat waste in the next 20 years. Specific recommendations focus on involving the public through changes in structure, and on reducing cost increases through management improvements and by bringing compensation and con- tracting into compliance with state policies, procedures and Programs. With the growing importance of water and waste treatment, we suggest investigating the possible creation of a new industry in this state. Alternative methods for processing wastes could improve Minnesota's business climate and focus attention on Minnesota's professional resources - the Freshwater Biological Institute and its proposed Waste Management Institute, the University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences and Humphrey Institute - that are in place and already effectively working with private industry to look at waste-processing December 29, 1983 Governor Rudy Perpich Page Two alternatives and alternatives t° management in the public sector so that public-funded operations can operate more efficiently. These assets, as pointed out in our report, could promote Minnesota as a better place to live and as a state with a strong interest in maintaining the high quality of its most important natural resources, water and air. Some of our specific recommendations involve opening up the decision-making process and encouraging more public input. We conclude that the newspaper articles encouraged us, given your broad charge, to recommend changes within the MWCC and with respect to its relationships with other governmental agencies, and especially with the public. The most important area of concern we considered is the compelling, never-ending need to make the MWCC responsive to its users. We ask you to request legislative action and to implement changes through your office to change this situation as quickly as possible. The damage to the public confidence in this agency has been compounded by rapidly increasing costs and the possibility of a substantial subsidy to meet rising sewer charges to lower-income homeowners in the future. As industry continues its. withdrawal from the system and the population in this area drops or changes from families to single and retired persons, the burden of sewer costs on individual taxpayers will continually become heavier. We believe our recommendations set out ways you and other public officials can reverse this situation. The best way to. start may well be by assembling a new team dedicated to involving and serving the public. We appreciate the help and assistance received from your office and MWCC staff and commissioners, past and present. The public and public officials assisted us greatly in their testimony and in preparing many of the reports we have included in our Appendices. Finally, we appreciate the opportunity to review this important agency whose operations affect the health of everyone of us. We believe our recommendations will ensure the MWCC becomes December 29, 1983 Governor Rudy Perpich Page Three more responsive to the public and more efficient in using scarce public monies to perform a vital service to our communities.

Sixteen commissioners should be selected by th~ Metropolitan Council. An ombudsperson function should be established by the Legislature. The person or persons hired should report to the Governor. Public rate hearings should be held yearly by MWCC to determine the rates to support the proposed budget. An appeals process for rates and other measurement methods decisions impacting communities must be put in place. An independent management study should be performed to develop a streamlined model for management to be used by the MWCC. A Code of Ethics should be adopted immediately. Hiring policies should be revised to ban nepotism, preclude hiring persons with conflicts of interest, and verify education/employment experience prior to hiring. an internal auditor position should be created and must be accountable to the Governor.' Parts of operations, such as electrical maintenance, research, sampling and measurement of functions should be contracted out, after the labor agreements have been changed to remove the sub-contracting clause. MWCC Labor Agreements must be brought into conformance with State agreements. Procedures for awarding and amending contracts'must be conformed with procedures used by State agencies. An actuarial review should be done to determine present and future unfunded liability for retirement benefits and other fringe benefits and should estimate the yearly amount to De added to operating costs for funding these benefits. A Waste Resource Task Force should be formed to study alternatives and propose long-range plans for dealing with all the State's wastes. RESOLUTION SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT MANAGEMENT STUDY OF METROPOLITAN WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION WHEREAS, many municipal officials, businessmen and other persons throughout the metropolitan area have expressed grave concern about the operations of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and WHEREAS, in recognition of such concerns, Governor Rudy Perpich commendably appointed an able and representative Governor's Citizens Commission to review the MWCC, and WHEREAS, such commission conducted an extensive investigation of the operations of the MWCC and of public perceptions of it, and WHEREAS, such commission, on December 29, 1983, reported its findings and recommendations to the Governor of the State of Minnesota, and WHEREAS, such recommendations included a recommendation for the conduct of an independent management study of MWCC, and WHEREAS, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the Association of Metropolitan Area Managers, the Suburban Rate Authority, and others concurred in the recommendation that such an independent management study be conducted, and WHEREAS, it appears that the state planning office has undertaken initial steps towards obtaining such an--independent study, and WHEREAS, the aforesaid organizations have expressed their interest in providing representation on a committee which would help to formulate the work program for such study, to monitor its progress and to evaluate its conclusions, and WHEREAS, it is critical to the credibility and acceptability of any such management study that it be an independent study, rather than a study done under the supervision and control of the MWCC, and WHEREAS, such commission recommended a number of measures requiring legislative action, but it now appears that the Governor's office has chosen not to support any such legislative action at this time, and WHEREAS, the compromising or abandoning of the concept of an independent management study, especially when coupled with a lack of legislative action, would constitute a severely damaging blow to the hopes and expectations of those who have been working in good faith to establish a higher level of confidence in the MWCC, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of , as follows: 1. This council strongly endorses and urges the conduct of an independen~ management study of the MWCC as recommended by the Governor's Citizens Commission to review the MWCC. 2. This council believes that such study will have maximum value only if it is an independent study formulated and conducted through the use of an advisory committee broadly representative of the municipalities in the metropolitan area. 3. This council urges the Governor of the State of Minnesota and other appropriate officials to take whatever actions may be necessary to initiate such an independent study at the earliest possible date. 4. Let a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Minnesota, the chairman and members of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, the chairman and members of the Metropolitan Council and the members of the Minnesota State Legislature representing this city.

Paul, MI~ 55101 Dear Ms. Bly: Subj: Resolution regarding Landfill Site M Lake Minnetonka Conservation District again wishes to express its strong opposition to the location of any landfill site in the Lake Minnetonka drainage area, particularly Site M in the City of Minnetrista. In 1981 the District opposed further consideration of this same landfill site, at that time under consideration by Hennepin County, the site finally being rejected because of the potential to pollute Minnesota's most valuable water resource. We recognize that many potential problems associated with landfills can be mitigated by proper, engineering construction and operation. However, the value of this resource and its impact on regional aquifers is so great that even the possibility of such problems is not acceptable. Again, it is hoped that the responsible agencies will direct their efforts to finding other suitable alternative locations and/or disposal methods. The District, through adoption of Resolution 45, wishes to encourage your resistance to any further potential pollution of Lake Minnetonka.

WHEREAS Metropolitan Council is considering the selection of two additional solid waste landfill sites in Hennepin County; and WHEREAS the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District is concerned that the selection of "Site M" as a landfill could have an adverse effect on Lake Minnetonka and the entire Lake Minnetonka watershed due to the pollution of surface waters and underground water reservoirs and the genera'tion of traffic; and WHEREAS many old landfill sites and sludge ponds remain in the drainage area and remain unmonitored and unreported; and WHEREAS the placement of such potential pollutants into the drainage area would further burden an already overladen Lake; and WHEREAS the location of such landfill sites in the Lake Minnetonka drainage area would violate the LMCD Code: 5.03 GENERAL PROHIBITION. Subdivision 1. Polluting Waters. No person shall pollute the surface waters of the district by placing or depositing or by permitting to be placed or deposited in, or upon said waters or upon any ~u~lic or private property from which may run into said water any sewage, industrial waste, garbage, rubbish or other waste. and WHEREAS the location of such landfill sites in the Lake Minnetonka drainage area would violate the Special Laws of Minnesota for January 30, 1889: Section 1. No person or persons shall polute (sic) or'defile the waters of Lake Minnetonka by depositing therein any sewage, foul, noxious, putrid or offensive substances or liquids. and WHEREAS Lake Minnetonka is a unique and vital regional recreational resource which is also surrounded by fourteen cities with a total population of 80,000 people, 13,000 of which live on the shores of the Lake; LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT Resolution No. 45 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District objects to the selection of "Site M" as a solid waste landfill site; that the District will be .happy to continue to assist in locating proper disposal sites; and that the District wishes to encourage those agencies responsible to direct their study toward other alternative disposal methods.

As a result, the Managers have drafted the attached preliminary policy statements which are being forwarded to affected municipalities and other interested groups for review and comment. The purpose of distributing these preliminary statements is to establish a dialogue with municipalities on key water management issues. The District's watershed management plan, mandated by Chapter 509, Laws of Minnesota, will be based upon the results of this process. Since the municipalities, by law, will ultimately implement surface water management policy contained in the District's plan, it is extremely important that workable and practical management strategies are developed. The Managers request that each municipality review the attached preliminary policy statements and respond to the District with any comments. It is suggested that responding municipalities forward comments through their Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) representative, if one has been designated by the City. If a TAC representative has not yet been designated, each municipality is urged to do so. In the next months, the Managers will conduct meetings with the TAC, and any interested parties, to hear comments regardin9 the preliminary policy statements and to discuss water management issues common to differing regions of the District. The TAC meetings have been scheduled as follows: Meeting No. ~.- May 31, 1984 Managers A1 Lehman and John Thomas will meet with TAC representatives and interested parties from cities and townships comprising the rural area of the District. This meeting will be held at Orono Council Chambers from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Meeting No. 2 - June 7, 1984 Managers David Cochran and James McWethy will meet with TAC representatives and interested parties from cities bordering Lake Minnetonka. This meeting will be held in the Community Room, City of Minnetonka offices from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Meetinq No. 3 - June 14, 1984 Managers Michael Carroll and James Spensley will meet with TAC representatives and interested parties from the Cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, St. Louis Park, Edina and Minneapolis at the City of Edina Council Chambers from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Meetings may also be scheduled as required with individual Councils and City Managers to gather facts and municipal points of view. Concurrent with this. process, the District will continue preparation of the watershed management plan required by Chapter 509. The Board of Managers looks forward to working with you during the Chapter 509 planning process. Should you have questions at any time, please contact Michael Panzer, District Engineer, E. A.

The District intends to provide management criteria for these objectives in its watershed management plan mandated by Chapter 509. These criteria would be implemented by municipalities in their local water management plans also required by Chapter 509. The stormwater management criteria may require retrofitting developed areas which have water quantity/quality problems. The District prefers non-structural solutions to management of runoff. It is recognized, however, that non-structural management opportunities will vary with de~ree of urbanization and other factors. GOALS Limit the rate of runoff on a regional-or subwatershed basis so that future peak rates of runoff are less than or equal to existing rates. An increase in the rate of runoff may be allowed where it is demonstrated that; 1) flooding will be reduced, 2) increased rates will not cause damage and 3) water quality will not be degraded. Reduce rates of runoff from subwatersheds draining by'streams to Lake Minnetonka such that peak rates, after full development, are less than existing rates. Reduce high water levels and peak flows which inundate and cause structural damage to improved properties. Preserve and utilize natural detention areas for stormwater runoff such as wetlands and lowlands. Reduce nutrient and pollutant loadings carried by surface water from one subwatershed to another. Non-~tructural me~hods w~ll be used wherever possible to enhance natural assimilative capacities of wetlands and detention basins. Reduce harmful nutrient and pollutant loadings to water bodies used for recreational or fisheries purposes. Enhance the quality of recreational opportunities, wildlife and fisheries habitat and aesthetics, to the maximum practicable extent by augmentation of low water levels. (2) - Preliminary Draft 4/19/84' MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT POLICY It is the policy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to reduce the extent and frequency of high water and flood damage, prevent adverse changes in water quality, protect wildlife habitat and preserve aesthetic values of open space in areas abutting lakes, streams and wetlands. To the extent allowed by law, the District intends to provide management criteria for these objectives in its watershed management plan mandated by Chapter 509. These criteria would be implemented by municipalities in their local water management plans also required by Chapter 509. The District believes it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to restrict development and construction in flood plain areas which are inconsistent with the above objectives. Goals Reduce high water levels and floods which inundate or cause damage to properties by maximizing the amount of flood plain storage capacity for stormwater and snowmelt runoff. Reduce harmful nutrient and pollutant loadings to water bodies used for recreational and fisheries purposes by maximizing the amount of flood plain area which functions as a filter for stor~water runoff. - Preliminary Draft - 4/19/84 MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT DREDGING POLICY It is the policy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to allow dredging projects only when it is demonstrated that such projects will have an overall benefit on the affected water resource. The District intends to provide management criteria for dredging projects in its watershed management plan mandated by Chapter 509. These criteria would be implemented by municipalities in their local water management plans also required by Chapter 509. The District believes dredging projects should be limited to those which are in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare. {1) Goals - Minimize adverse environmental change to protected waters. Maintain natural shoreline characteristics and appearance by restricting alterations of existing lake and wetland shoreline alignments. Improve or maintain general recreational, wildlife and fisheries characteristics of lakes, streams and wetlands. Prohibit projects which would connect navigable bodies of water with backwater, wetland or Other water areas not accessable by navigation. (1) Dredging projects may be allowed when dredging is necessary to implement or maintain an existing legal right of navigational access.. - Preliminary Draft - 4/19/84 MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT SOIL LOSS/SEDIMENTATION CONTROL POLICY It is the policy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to reduce deposition of sediment in the waterways of the District to the maximum practicable extent. The District intends to provide criteria for these objectives in its watershed management plan mandated by Chapter 509. These criteria would be implemented by municipalities in their local water management plans also required by Chapter 509. The District believes sediment and erosion controls are necessary and consistent with sound surface water management. Goals Reduce sediment loadings to lakes, streams and wetlands resulting from construction activities and land development. Identify erosion prone and sediment soOrce areas along with potential solutions to existing problems throughout the District. Reduce the frequency and amount of public expenditures required for maintenance and dredging of waterways damaged by sedimentation. - Preliminary Draft - MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT POLICY FOR OTHER WORK IN THE BEDS OF PROTECTED WATERS 4/19/84 It is the policy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to allow public or private projects which are located in the beds of protected waters only when such projects have an overall benefit on the affected water resource, minimize significant environmental detriment and do not restrict the carrying capacity or navigational capability of the waterway. The District intends to provide criteria for these objectives in its watershed management plan mandated by Chapter 509. These criteria would be implemented by municipalities in their local water management plans also required by Chapter 509. The District believes it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to allow only those projects which are consistent with the above objectives. Goals Minimize the-use of lakebeds and the beds of streams and waterways for the placement of fill, roads, highways, utilities and other structures. Minimize the effects of projects which will result in an increase in nutrient or pollutant loadings to water bodies used for recreational and fisheries purposes. Prohibit projects which will adversely affect water levels or quality. CITY of MOUND April 20, 1984 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: CITY MANAGER Perhaps you've read the enclosed, article regarding handicapped accessibility. I mentioned.in one of my recent notes that I thought we should explore the installation of an elevator (cost $68,000). This article outlines some good other options. The main problem, the City Council Meetings, would require us to hold them elsewhere rather than put in the elevator. Please read this over so we can talk about it. The City buildings that need to be in conformance include: The Depot Island Park Hall & Public Works City Hall City Parks & Playgrounds Curb Cuts on City Sidewalks JE:fc Handicap accessibility in cities by Karen Cole, LMC Research Assistant Editor's note: This article is the Did you Know? column for April In 1973, Congress passed the Reha- bilitation Act (Public Law 93-112), and mended it the following year. One important part of the act, Section 504, prohibits discrimination on the basis of handicap in federal assistance programs such as the federal general revenue sharing program. Last October, the Office of Revenue Sharing (ORS) issued regulations im~)lementin~ sec- tion 504. Because cities must also comply with the building code and amendments to chapter 363 of Minne- sota Statutes, the regulations impose few new requirements. LMC has received many questions on how cities can comply with the regulations. What are the requirements for all GRS recipients? All cities receiving GRS funds must: · Cnrnnlot~ n ~olf-ovnhmtlnn tn Annandale, pop. 1,568, made its city hall and library accessible before stste ~nd federal requirements took effect. A ramp replaced the steps to the h~brary. Photos by Duane Hawk- inson. determine areas of non-compliance with the handicapped regulations by October 17, 1984. · Make non-structural changes nec- essary to comply with the regula- tions by October 17, 1984. · Make structural changes if neces- sary to comply with the regulations by October 17, 1986. We receive more than $25,000. What additional requirements must we meet? Cities receiving more than $25,000 in GRS funds must also: · adopt a grievance procedure to resolve complaints of handicapped discrimination by October 17, 1984. · Take continuing steps to notify the public of changes made to improve access to programs and services. It would be helpful if you could define "handicap." What is a handicapped person? The definition of handicapped includes people who have a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. In addition to a wide range of physical disabilities, the definition also covers mental retardation, organic brain syn- drome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities. "Major life activities" indlude seeing, walking, speaking, hearing, breathing, seN-care, learning, and performing manual tasks. The definition also includes people who have a past record of impairments (such as recovered heart attack vic- tims, recovered cancer patients, and former patients of mental hospitals). A third category under the definition includes people who, according to oth- ers, have an impairment, whether or not the impairment exists or ever did. A person who has been badly scarred in a fire or accident, or a person who was erroneously labeled as mentally retarded as a child, might fall into this category. Alcoholics and drug addicts are also handicapped persons, accord- ing to a formal opinion of the U.S. Attorney General. Harvey Hawkinson, Annandale city c/erk, stands in front o£ city oi6ces. No steps block the front entry and wider doors enable wheelchairs to pass easily. Must we make all of our buildings accessible to the handicapped? Not necessarily. The ORS rules require cities to make programs and services access~le, not every building. For example, if the city council normal- ly holds meetings on the third floor of city hall, the city need not install an elevator. Perhaps the council can move meetings to a first floor location, at least if someone requests the move. Cable television may make council meetings access~le, especially if resi- dents at home could phone in to partic- ipate in discussion. City officials should explore non-structural changes before deciding to make extensive modifica- tions. What kinds of notification must we provide? A city receiving _over $~.5,000 must include a statement in its publications indicating that it does not discriminate on the basis of handicap. The state- ment must be in publications for the general public, job applicants, and recipients of city services. The city can include the statement in a general statement addressing other kinds of discrimination, or the city may add it to existing publications by stapling or slip- ping in an insert. must provide continuing notification that it does not discriminate. The notice must go to recipients of serv- ices, job applicants, and employees; and must reach unions and professional organizations and the visually and hear- ing impaired. Cities should do all they can to make their programs and services fully acces- s~le. In special instances, a city may arrange to make a service available on request. For example, the city can arrange to provide interpreters at meetings if requested. Making a serv- ice available only on request places a special burden on disabled persons. However, this may be appropriate when making the service fully accessi- ble would impose an undue burden on the city. ff the city chooses to comply in this way, it is important to periodi- cally notify handicapped citizens of the city's readiness to respond. How can we ensure that our notifications reach the visually and hearing impaired? Cities have several means to reach the hearing impaired. Notices and arti- cles in the local newspapers will help. A bullet/n board could be available to ; ' post information on developments to : improve accessibility. Or, the city could cnm~ile a mailin~ list of neonle interest- ed in receiving periodic updates on steps the city has taken to improve access~ility. Providing information to interested organizations would also be helpful. Reaching the visually impaired may be more difficult. Local radio and tele- vision stations may be willing to provide public service announcements. Cas- sette tapes could be available on request, containing summaries of pub- lished notices, council business, and information on access~ility. How should we establish a grievance procedure? The grievance procedure must resolve complaints of discrimination promptly and fairly. However, the pro- cedure need not address complaints from job applicants. The procedure must provide due process of law, which means the person complaining must have an opportunity to be heard. For example, the procedure may provide that the city council would hear com- plaints at its meetings. The city could adapt existing grievance procedures to include complaints of handicap discrimi- nation. One difference may be the need to privide sig~ers or interpreters for The apron in the curbing and the availability of handicapped parking makes the senior citizens' center accesmT~le. the hearing impaired, when necessary. Copies of existing grievance proce- dures are available from the League office. ust we hire a handicapped plicant who can't do the job? No. The regulations require only that you hire qualified handicapped persons. An applicant that can't perform the job is not qualified. However, the city must make "reasonable accommodations" to enable handicapped employees to do the work, unless it would impose an undue hardship on the city. The city should consult handicapped employees and applicants to determine whether accommodations are necessary. Reasonable accommodations may include relocating offices, restructuring jobs, creating part-time or modified work schedules, providing readers or interpreters, or acquiring or modifying devices. Reasonable accommodation need not be costly, for example, placing blocks under an existing desl/to create sufficient knee space for a wheelchair. In determining whether an accommo- dation would impose an undue hard- ship, the city may consider the size and of program, and the nature and )st of the needed accommodation. Cities must ensure that their job descriptions and hiring practices do not discriminate against qualified disabled applicants, by making sure announce- ments of job openings reach disabled persons. Job descriptions and tests should relate to the requirements of the position, and should not screen out qualified disabled applicants. For exam- ple, don't ask job applicants whether they have a handicap. Rather, ask whether they can perform the required tasks of the job. How should we complete a self-evaluation? Consult handicapped citizens and organizations in preparing the self-eval- uation. You may wish to solicit eom- ments or form a committee. -Ask whether handicapped citizens have encountered problems in receiving city services. Go through city buildings with handicapped persons to uncover prob- lem areas. You need not submit a copy of the self-evaluation to the ORS. How- ever, you should keep a copy of the evaluation on file and record actions the city has taken to remedy problems. You may wish to consider the follow- ing questions: · Where does the city council hold meetings? Can those on crutches or in wheelchairs reach the meeting room? Does the room have an audio system to amplify sound for those with impaired hearing? Are inter- preters or signers available on request for the deaf?. · Are polling places in accessible buildings? · What programs and services does the city offer? Is each service avail- able to people in wheelchairs or on crutches? To deaf or blind citizens? Does access to any city service require appearing at city hall or any Senior centers usually require spe- cial attention to make sure they are access~/)le to the handicapped. This one, in Annanda/e, has lever-operated doors, which are easier to use than conventional door knobs. other building? Is the building acces- sible? If not, can the city offer the service by mail or at a different location? · Is the library accessible? Can library staff assist wheelchair patrons to reach books? Are mate- rials in braille or large type available? · Does the city operate recreation facilities such as playgrounds or a swimming pool? Can the handicapped use the facilities? Do playgrounds include oppor[unities for handicapped children? · Are offices accessible to those who want to meet with city officials such as the clerk? If not, is an accessible area on the first floor available for meeting space when necessary? Could city officials meet with handicapped citizens outside city hall when necessary? · Have you reviewed city job descriptions to ensure accurate deft- nitions of each job and that the qualifications are job related? · Are your selection criteria and employment tests job related? Do they tend to screen out disabled persons? · Do your application forms ask job applicants whether they are disabled, or ask about the nature and severity of any disability? · Do you make a tentative offer of employment before requiring a pre- employment physical? · Have you established a procedure for ensuring that medical information you receive from job applicants and employees remains confidential? · Have you notified your employees and job applicants that you will make reasonable accommodations to the known physical and mental limita- tions of qualified disabled employees or applicants? · Have you established a grievance procedure to resolve complaints of handicapped discrimination ('ff your city receives over $25,000 in reve- hue sharing funds)? · Do you have procedures for informing handicapped persons about the existence and locations of acces- sible programs ('ff your city receives more than $25,000 in revenue shat- tng funds)? · Have you identified a person responsible for implementing changes? What if we don't accept any revenue sharing money? What state requirements apply? Chapter 55 of the State Building Code imposes standards to make build- ings accessible to the handicapped, the standards apply to new construction and structural renovation. These stand- ards apply to all cities whether or not the rest of the State Building Code is in effect in the city. Chapter 363 of Minnesota Statutes prohibits all employers from discrimi- nattng in employment practices on the basis of disability. The law also requires that employers with 50 or more employees make reasonable accommo- dation to the disabilities of qualified disabled persons, unless this would impose an undue hardship.

One of our seniors was over- joyed to see first hand the smallest post office in the United States. For some time Margaret Dahl had felt that the Minnetonka Beach post of- fice, where she was Post Mistress for many years, must be the smallest post office, until she learned that Ochopee, Florida had the smallest. Margaret mentioned to the driver that she would like to see this phe- nomenal building in Ochopee, located off U.S. highway 41 on the Tamiami Trail in Southwest Florida. True to his word, as they ap- proached the one room, wood and galvinized metal structure Lane Cox slowed the bus so Margaret got a good look at it. There it sits a- lone and guarded by the American flag, hoisted above on a tall flag .pole. .~es, Margaret. agreed that it is a pint size Post Offics; Minnetonka Beach is HUGE in comparison to the Ochopee Post Office (pop.. about 100). This dwarfish building measures iseven and a fourth feet by ei.ght and ia third feet on the ouside. This iPost Office was established in 1932. present building was built as a "temporary" in 1957. Nothing has ed. It was at a National Convention :hat Margaret learned about this eresting story. Through this meet- ing, she received the Greenwich Time dated Wednesday, February 1970. It post marked Ochopee, Florida, ober 26, 1970. and forwarded to No wonder Margaret was "thrilled ito pieces" to compare the ~ictures the newspaper with reality. What thrill!! ho-o-o This grand couple share many loves! Flowers and more flowers b=±ng untold satisfaction to both Gladys and George Fredrickson. As one enters and gazes around one is caught up by the array of various plants, be it real or photographed. Upon entering the family room, the awareness be- comes more acute. A dainty, pink blossomed primrose graces the table. To..look at the large window expanse facing the East, almost makes one hold the breath. Beneath the windows the wall is lined with a ~ookcase, topped by eighteen of the most gor- geous african violets,, many of them prize winners. No wonder Gladys en- joys belonging to the Iris Garden Club. Not to be outdone by Gladys and her floral achievements, George stands shoulder high with his ac- claims. His chief hobby is raising prize winning roses. Entries have been made in the National Rose Show at Lake Calhoun He is an avid member of the Minnetonka Men's Garden Club. George proudly displays a National Plaque he received in 1982 for special serv- cises to the club. For twenty years he was treasurer of that group. The 675 ribbons and different trophies brought him into the .Court of Honor. To learn more about our friends, a telescopic view shows that Gtadys Smith Fredrickson was born in the ;hadow of Mt. Hood in Portland, on on March 24, 1892. At the age of three, her family moved to Minneapolis. There Gladys received most of her education. Summer school followed High School graduation in 1911, which en- titled her to a teaching permit. Her early teadhing was spent in North Dakota communities. Valley City, N. D. was chosen as the colle'ge to obtain her two year certificate. '--- .... ~ _ II __ II ii -After substitute teaching in LMinneapolis, Gladys accepted her tfirst Minn'esot~ ~eac~ing ~in Buf~a'~o. ITo teach in Tower, Minnesota was iprovidental. It w. as here Gladys and George met. Time, however separated them. Gladys had accepted a ~ontract in the Mound School District in 1924 The four roomed building stood where the Mound Clinic is now located. Love prevailed and in July 24, 1929, George and Gladys became man :and wife. A few years later, substi- itute teaching became Glady!s lot, as married women could no longer be a REGULAR teacher. Her many hobbies has filled her with great satisfaction. Perhaps, number one on her list was scouting. For twenty-five years she was a girl scout leader and continued working ten more years as a Day Camp leade- Gladys proudly displays a beautifu_ Girl Scout Statute to prove it. Gladys is an active~member of Bethel United Methodist. For twenty- five' years she war the church treas- urer. The ladies circle, to which she belongs called it the Gladys Circle Ln her honor. Very reluctantly she ccepted that honor. Gladys parti- ipates in the Eastern Star, in which he was past matron. More hobbies~ handwork of variou. Kinds - crocheting, knitting and needle work fills her free time to be ~sed where needed. Both Gladys and ~eorge are participants in the local Ristorical Society and the Senior Citizens programs. AT this point, Gladys laughingly said "Now George can take over." The first statistic given our man was March 28, 1897. This important dat~ igiven him, happened in Tower, Min~ fOur young hero, his three sisters and brother walked two miles daily for their schooling. George graduated in 1915 from Tower High School in a class of eight boys and eight girls. uriug high school George was an'achiever. He held a job ~ a laundry agent for Lure's Laundry ~ Duluth. The laundry was collected nd shipped to Duluth; when it re- amed, George delivered and col- ected, earning his pin money. As in all parts of the country, ar clouds had gathered. George and hree classmates enlisted. Inducted n July, 1918, they were stationed t the St. Paul Campus in the Agri- ulture building. In two months the oys were sent near Williamsburg, Pa. ith the Army Ordinance Division that ealt with ammunition and military upplies. They loaded large cannon ized T.N.T.-Tons. Always t~ere was anger of sabotage. George recalls here were 40 carloads each holding 50 shells per car. These shells were ompletely used in 45 minutes at the Front lines". kt last the happy day arrived! ge came January 1919 with ~ustering out pay to the tune of ~40.00! Back home, again. For some ~ime George worked at a Model T Ford ~gency. but ties pulled him back to [inneapolis. His life's work was blueprinted ~fter passing the examination for iourneyman's plumber. Following, ~fter 14 years in the plumbing trade, ;eorge became head engineer in the ~ound School System. For many years ~fter retirement in 1962, George was ;till called back to substitute. In addition to the programs al- :eady mentioned, he also participates in 'Bethel United and the Masons; for :hree years he was pa'st commander of :he American Legion. Many hobbies were shared by ~hese two- gardening, fishing and ng rates high on George's hobby Gladys joined him in canoeing ~nd camping activities. Gladys open- ed a large U.S. map which shows ~ulti-colored routes the two followed into most every state in th Union including Alaska and Hawaii. This amount of traveling only whette$ the interest of this couple. Surely their roots were important - to satisfy both, George learned about Norway, Sweden and Denmark, while Gladys saw that England and Scotland would be included in the sa~e package Reminds one of a quote from Robert Quillen, "The secret for a happy marriage is simple. Just keep on being as polite To one another as you are to your best friends." I REMEMBER WHEN It was music time. I had gone to the organ to accompany the child- ren when my eye caught a horrifying sight. A team of horses was coming across the field at break-neck speed Yes, it was a run-away. Hurriedly, I gathered the six- teen pupils of all eight grades to the opposite side of the room and waited. The young mare had never been "broken", hence the revolt. The driver was doing his best to control their direction. Had he allowed them to follow their course, the horses, wagon and driver would hav~ ended over the embankment and into the river. The'driver felt the best course was to allow the "runaways" to continue on ahead. He tried to break the speed. The inevitable happened. The wagon tongue pierced through the side of the school house making a large hole. The horses were stopped and what a sightf The two horses had lost a number of teeth. Doubt- less, their working days were hind- ered for some time. However, the driver was spared and perhaps some- thing to remember the rest of his life. by ~l~dv~ Fredr~ckson 1 2 3 4 Liver/Gravy Pork Cutlet Chicken ala King Swedish Meat. · ~ Potatoes Au Gratin Pot.

JC)N ELAM 53~! MAY~QI:]D BLV0 HOUN0 HN 5536~ RECENT COUNCIL ACTIONS {March 26-April 13) Transportation-The Metropolitan Council has ex:ended the deadline for submitting proposals to build a fast-transit connection between downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul to May 15. The Council has received proposals and expressions of interest from 11 American and foreign companies and individuals. The proposals, ranging from $12 million ~o b'~86 million, would include stops at the' Capitol and the University of Minnesota. The Council learned last week the Twin Cities could build a light rail transit line running from downtown St. Paul to- Minneapolis and out to Hopkins for about S153 million. The information came from a report by a San Francisco consulting firm, Bechtel Civil and Minerals, inc. Extending the line Minnetonka would cost an additional $23 million, an extan- sion to Excelsior an axa'a $11 million, and putting it under- ground through downtown Minneapolis would cost an additional $111 million. The Council's University AvJSouth- wes: Corridor Study Steering Committee expects to make a · recommendation this fall on the feasibility of various transit alternatives in these corridors. Water Quality--The Council asked the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to consider an alternative system for the St. Francis sewage treatment plant that will not allow sewage effluent to filter into the ground and groundwater of the Anoka sand plains. The Council said recent rapid growth in St. Francis could cause major groundwater pollution in the Anoka area. Housing-The Council authorized a contract for funding 52 additional units under the Section 8 Existing Housing Program. This increases the Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority's number of assisted units in the Region to 3,162. Financing--The Council sold $68.8 million in bonds to a consortium headed by the investment firm of Piper, Jeffrey and Hopwood, Inc., Minneapolis, at a net interest charge of g.1138 percent. The sale refinances 1981 and 1982 sewer bonds at a lower interest rate, which will save local taxpayers $9.4 million. Computer Crime--The Council accepted a report whose recommendations include: further examination of the extent of computer crime In the Twin Cities Area; more education aimed at prevention and detection; and increased sharing of information between businesses and law enforcement agencies. For a copy of the report, Confronting Computer Crime: A Challenge for the 1980~, pub. no. 364~4~46, call the Council at 291-6464. Land Use--The Council said a proposed 915 acre expansion to Woodbury's 1990 Urban Service Area conforms with plans for regional growth and development. However, the Council encouraged Woodbury to promote more efficient and intensive land use. The Council also reminded the city of its statutory obligation under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act to permit and encourage the construction of modest.cost housing. t.al=or Relations--The Council approved a 1984-1985 contract with American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 839, which represents non- ;u.certisory and non-confidential Council staff. The contract prcvides ;or a 4"~ percent, salary increase in 1984 and a 4 pet- cant !ncrease in 1985. It also calls for a comparable worth and pay equity study. PUBLIC HEARINGS, PUBLIC MEETINGS Solid Waste-The Metropolll=n Council will hold three public meetings to obtain comment on potential solid waste sites. The meetings will be as follows: - Monday, April 23, 7 p.m., at the Woodbury Jr. High School cafeteria, 1425 School Dr., Woodbury, to consider a proposed site in Woodbury. - Tuesday, April 24, 7 p.m., at Orono High School, 795 Old Crystal Rd., Long Lake on Sites J and K in Independence. - Wednesday, April 25, 7 p.m., at Orono High School on Site E in Corcoran and Site M in Minnetrlsta.

The controversy has always been ( at least for the last 15 years or so ) how much upgrading? Some want a four-lane thorough-fare; others wan% a ~wo lane road. There is surely some central compromise %o this situation and it is in the best interests of all our Westonka com- munity, especially our commercial areas, to work towards a prompt resolve of this on-going problem. To that end, I urge all members and non-members who are genuinely concerned about ,£5's.meve~opment. to attend the May 16 General Membership Meeting. Mr. Art Lee will be present to answer our questions regarding the Transporta.tion. Department's view of proposed up- gradings and their effects on 5otb the tax case and the ecology. Repre sentatives /'rom the three affected cities will be there to present the program l~or 1D that their joint committee has mevelopee, and Commissioner Robb will be there to hear our questions and concerns after the above mentioned ~roups have given their information. Lets all take advantage of this opportunity to explore and understand our options on this subject.

ISSUES AND CONCERNS The Committee considered the alternatives of upgrading and expanding the Maple Plain plant, or phasing it out. Concern was expressed about which alternative would be more environmentally beneficial to the water quaity of Jennings Bay and Lake Minnetonka. - Because of uncertainty as to the likliehood of development that could be induced by the prpposed forecmain, questions about potential phosphorus loadings from such development, and the possibilities that a new treatment process (CBBA) might offer an alternative solution, the Committee adopted the following instead of the staff recommendation. RECOMMENDATIONS That due to uncertainty as to which alternative would be most beneficial to the long-term water quality of Lake Minnetonka, the Metropolitan Council join with the City of Orono in requesting a public hearing of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on the Maple Plain NPDES permit and that this committee schedule a public meeting to discuss issues and alternatives. Furthermore, that the Council information the MPCA of these actions.

Isaacs, Chair Maurice K Dorton, Secretary / 7o METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Suite 300 Metro Square Building, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 612-291-6359 DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: April 11, 1984 Metropolitan Systems Committee John Harrington, Environmental Planning Department Proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for the Maple Plain Wastewater Treatment Plant Metropolitan Council District 13 Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 11806-3 INTRODUCTION The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has placed on public notice the above referenced permit. The Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) are named as "joint permittees." The compliance schedule in the permit requires the termination of discharges from the Maple Plain facility by Aug. 31, 1986 or upon completion of the Maple Plain-Orono- Long Lake Forcemain, whichever is earlier. BACKGROUND In 1968, the MPCA Board adopted a policy calling for the termination of all wastewater discharges in the Lake Minnetonka watershed. To that end, the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant, which discharges to the Minnesota River, was constructed. Six treatment plants discharging to the Lake Minnetonka watershed were phased out to the Blue Lake plant. The Maple Plain plant is the last discharge remaining in the watershed. There ham been a continuing debate about whether to expand and upgrade the treatment plant to limit the phosphorus discharge to I mg/1 or less, or to phase it out entirely as a controllable source of phosphorus. AUTHORITY TO REVIEW The.Council is named as a "joint permittee" on the proposed permits. As an affected party, the Council has an opportunity to comment on the proposed permits and participate as a party in the administrative process, in accordance with MPCA°s public notice procedures. ANALYSIS The Water Resources Management Development Guide/Policy Plan, Part 1, includes the following concerning the Maple Plain WWTP. Recommendations 1981-84 Period. If the 1983 NPDES permit does not call for plant phaseout within the 1982-86 period, the I~CC should include in its 1982-1986 Development Program a project to expand the Maple Plain Treatment Plant to .32 mgd and to upgrade the treatment process to include phosphorus removal by Oan. 1, 198Z. The estimated capital cost of this facility is $578,000, and the annual operation and maintenance is $87,000. In designing and sizing the plant, the I~CC should consider the infiltration and inflow (I/I) to the plant, and incorporate the results of the I/I analysis in the plant design. If the 1981 NPDES permit calls for phaseout of the plant in the 1982-1986 period, the I~CC should include provisions for such action in its 1982-1986 Development Program. No new action on treatment process upgrading is to be taken and the phaseout should occur early in the 1982-86 period. The MPCA should re-examine its policy of no discharge to Lake Minnetonka as it specifically relates to the Maple Plain Treatment Plant. At an MPCA Board meeting on Mar. 27, 1984 the City of Orono specifically requested the Board to reconsider its policy as it applied to the Maple Plain discharge. The Board determined to maintain the policy, and to focus the debate on the issues at a hearing to be held on the Maple Plain NPDES permit. The Council°s historical concern has been that it does not want to finance both a plant upgrade and a phaseout, within a relatively short period of time. That would represent a waste of metropolitan funds. (Previously proposed NPDES permits have called for both the upgrading and the phaseout within a five-year period. ) A second concern that the Council has had relates to the probability that construction of a forcemain to phase out the plant might generate induced (urban) development'in rural Orono. This has also been a continuing concern of the city. The proposed permit addresses this concern with the following special requirements. The City of Orono Community Management Plan, Sewer Element Section, dated June 1980, establishes rural residential densities to be served by on-site sewage systems. No urbanization shall be allowed as a result of the construction of the Maple Plain-Orono-Long Lake forcemain that was not anticipated in the above referenced plans. To implement this policy no sewer connections to theforcemain intended to serve new residential development shall be allowed by the MPCA. This does not preclude sewer hookul~s for the purpose of correcting pollution problems from residential development construction prior to or pursuant to the plans; nor does it restrict residential development outside the watershed of Lake Minnetonka. In order to' consider changes to the plans, a water quality assessment shall be prepared which specifically addresses the nutrient loadings resulting thereform to the Lake Minnetonka Watershed. Amendments to the plans shall be reviewed by the MPCA, MWCC and Council. Approval shall be based on the following conditions: Any proposed changes shall be consistent with the Council's Policy Plan. ~ted Any proposed changes shall be consistent with the final adopted watershed management plan prepared pursuant to the Surface Water Management Act, Mn. Stat. 473.875-473.883." In general, these spectal requirements are reasonable for the following two reasons: 1. The Council and MWCC have already provided capacity sufficient to ulti- mately serve rural Orono in the existing metropolitan interceptor (MSB 7113) that currently serves southern Orono. The design capacity to be provided in the forcemain to phase out the Maple Plain plant will not be adequate to provide service to rural Orono, since that would represent an unnecessary investment in excess capacity. In summary, the capacity to serve rural (northern) Orono is already in place, and will not be affected by the proposed forcemain. However, before the capacity can be utilized, the city would have to propose, and the Council approve, a plan amendment in accordance with the terms of the special requirements of the permit. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS The MPCA has placed on public notice a proposed NPDES permit that would require the phase out of the Maple Plain WWTP to the Blue Lake WWTP through a forcemain that would run through northern (rural) Orono. 2. The permit contains special requirements that limit the probability of induced urban development due to construction of the forcemain. Capacity to ultimately serve rural Orono is already available in the existing metropolitan interceptor that presently serves southern Orono. The city would have to propose and the Council approve a local plan amendment for that capacity to be utilized.. 4. The proposed permit is in accordance with the Water Resourcs Management Policy Plan, except for the timing of the permit. RECOMMENDATION That the Metropolitan Council inform the MPCA that it finds the terms of the proposed Maple Plain permit acceptable. . SE1389-PHENV2 04.11.84 P.O.

The county Community Health Department is focusing on suburbs in southern and western Hennepin County where cases of California encephalitis have been confirmed in recent years. California encephalitis is a disease of the central nervous system, with symptoms rangings, form mild headache and fever to mental confusion and convulsions. The disease can cause permanent damage, but is rarely fatal. It affects persons under 18, and most cases occur in children under 9. The Aedes triseriatus (tree hole) mosquito is responsible for carrying the virus. Unlike other mosquitoes which breed ih marshes and flooded areas, ~he tree-hole mosquito breeds in holes atlthe base of hardwood trees and in discarded tires, cans, bottles and other refuse. Control techniques include filling tree holes and stumps with insulating material, and picking up and disposing of artificial containers in which the mosquitoes can breed. -more- California encephalitis/2 Both activities are most effective when performed in areas where children live ~nd play. Community Health Department staff members are willing to speak to interested citizen groups about California encephalitis, how breeding sites can be eliminated and how to develop a community clean-Up campaign.

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430, (612) 566-0050 April, 1984 To the Members of LOGIS: Submitted herewith is the annual audited financial report for LOGIS for the year ended December 31, 1983, as required by the Joint and Cooperative Agreement. During 1983, LOGIS membership increased by two to 25 operating mem- bers, 3 coordinating members, and one franchise associate member. Growth in operations volume continued during the year with the implementation of POSSE and the active use of the system by Maple- wood and Oakdale. An interim capacity expansion was implemented with addition of a third Series III processor, expansion of disc storage capacity by 720 million characters to a year-end total of nearly 2.3 billion characters of on-line storage (2.28 gigabytes), expansion of memory, and expansion of port capacity. This expan- sion is expected to suffice for one to t~o years. The first "stand-alone" operation of a LOGIS member occurred during the first quarter with the installation of an HP 3000 Series 30 at Maple Grove. After the initial learning experiences and "shake- down", the operation has proceeded very smoothly. The overall financial condition of LOGIS improved during 1983 as a result of several factors including a 15% increase in service charges, new members becoming operational during the year, prior members becoming operational on additional applications, new appli- cations coming on-line, and a doubling of equipment and special services purchased by users. The combined effects produced a 47.1% increase in combined revenues of all funds to a total of $1.2 million. Expenditures increased 45.7%; thus, our overall position improved slightly. Evidence abounds that our cities are beginning to seriously break into the world of information management. This has been our stated goal for years. The trend was forecasted in the 1980 report. In 1983 we saw an emergence of restiveness among several of our mem- bers. They suspect that "something better is out there" (in the way of better support to their operations and to their decision making process) but are not at all sure where to look or what to look for. Questions they are struggling with include: - Are we spending too much on data processing for what we are getting? - Can we do it faster and cheaper with micros? - Should we have our own computer? - How should we plan our future? In many cases, the conclusion was, let's form a committee and study it, or let's hire a consultant to study it and tell us. Either or both of these have been appropriate, for our members must spend the time and effort to make a good evaluation of the "competition" before judging the value of what they have. Now the results are slowly beginning to trickle in: - LOGIS has more municipal applications than any other can offer. supplier - Many of these are current, state-of-the-art, and as good as, or better than the competition. - The older LOGIS applications (Payroll, Financial, Billing) are still good, but newer systems several respects. Ours need upgrading. and Utility are better in - There is a growing interest in "stand-alone" operations, but within the LOGIS umbrella. computer - There is a growing need for increased technical LOGIS. support from - More applications are needed, but"justification is being based primarily on the need for higher quality of performance from city staff in the form of more and better information and improved accuracy rather ~than on cost factors. - More sharing of information between departments is needed. - Micros are not the answer to improved sharing of data or for "production" applications because of needs for good security, reliability, high volume and trouble-free operation. - A consortium is still a viable option for helping cities to contain costs through leverage in software cost-sharing, hardware purchases and the availability of a breadth of technical support. The MIS workshop conducted recently for LOGIS management personnel helped immensely to clarify the issues. I believe that in addition to the technical and operational issues, we must address some key organizational issues: - Some cities afc Quite content with the DPesen% level o~ service, but would like to see containment of operations cost and improvement in the older systems so that they are easier to use. - Some cities wish to move very aggressively into the information management era with new applications and increased availability of technical support. - Most cities want removal, of the barrier to membership in LOGIS. full participating I believe these issues can be dealt with. I believe that LOGIS must move from a reactive stance to an active leadership role; and that we have the experience, the skill, and the strengths within our staff to do so. I believe that we are ready to move ahead into a new dimension. However, this will be possible only through the continued, direct involvement of those who really run LOGIS - the City Managers. My role, and that of our staff, is that of a servant. It is only through Providing the service and support to enable you to do your job better that we have a significant role to play in the governmental society. Ted L. Willard Executive Director GENERAL COMMENTS The Local Government Information Systems Association (LOGIS) was formed in 1972 under the Minnesota Joint Powers Act to provide an organization through which the member agencies may jointly and cooperatively provide for the establishment, operation and maintenance of data processing facilities and management information systems for the use and benefit of the members and others. < > FINANCIAL POLICIES LOGIS operates under an annual budget approved by the Board of Directors at the July meeting. Members have until the succeeding October 15th to decide to withdraw from the organization should they choose not to accept the budgeted assessments. LOGIS expenditures are governed by a three-step process. First, a budget must be adopted by the Board of Directors. That budget includes a determination of expenditures for three classifications: Class 1 is to cover administrative expenses for the organization; Class 2 consists of capital investments; and Class 3 consists of operating expenditures. The administrative or Class 1 expenses are accounted for in a traditional line item accounting manner. Capi- tal investment or Class 2 is accounted for under a project account- ing system which permits the identification of each expenditure to a project that has been approved by the organization. Operating or Class 3 expenditures are controlled by the individual members who use the system and are, therefore, accounted as an enterprise. These expenses are estimated but not.. limited because they are determined by demands for service and limited by revenues from ser- vice charges to members. These service charges, in turn, are derived from a schedule of rates adopted by the members. Following adoption of the budget, appropriations are determined by the Execu- tive Committee within the overall budget. In the case of Class 1 expenditures, certain commitments are authorized by the Executive Director within guidelines adopted by the Executive Committee. Those which may not be authorized by the Executive Director must be approved by the Executive Committee prior to commitment. Class 2 expenditures are authorized by the Executive Committee on a project basis. Within the authorized scope of the project, the Executive Director is delegated the authority to make appropriate expenditure commitments. Expenditures for Class 3 operations are treated as follows: expenditures incurred in providing direct services to users are authorized under continuing contracts or similar agree- ments (e.g., equipment purchase, terminal rental, and courier service) are billed directly to the user as a "pass through"; pro- gramming maintenance, trouble-shooting, user support and similar expenditures are authorized by the Executive Director either through on-going practices or by specific approval; "outside" purchases (e.g., contracts and consulting services) are authorized under purchasing and contracting policies adopted by the Executive Committee. The third step in the process requires approval of all disbursements for Class 1, 2, and 3 by the Executive Committee. Checks for such disbursements must be signed by the President or Vio~ P~e~iden% ~nd ooun%~-~igned By %he ~e~e~ry-T~e~surer or the Executive Director. Class 1 charges are prorated and billed monthly. Class 2 dues are billed, in lump sum at the beginning of the year. Class 3 charges are billed monthly. < > MEMBERSHIP Membership in LOGIS is open to any governmental subdivision of the State of Minnesota through the execution of the LOGIS Joint Powers Agreement. The two basic classes of membership are Participating and Associate. The former have voting privileges on the Board of Directors, receive full assessments for administration and capi- tal, and in addition pay operating fees. Associate members are subdivided into three categories: coordinating, operating, and franchise. Coordinating members pay a small annual fee and re- ceive reports, minutes, and meeting notices of the organization, but do not receive computer services. Operating associates may receive computer services under the same terms and conditions as Participating members, must pay a full share of administrative (Class 1) and annual capital (Class 2) charges, but are not re- quired to "buy in" to prior capital investment. Franchise associ- ates may obtain a copy of the LOGIS system for installation else- where in the state. During 1983 there were twelve participating members, thirteen operating associates, one franchise associate, and three coordinating associates. All associate members may have voting membership on the Systems Evaluation Committee, but have Ex Officio (non-voting) membership on the Board of Directors. < > ORGANIZATION LOGIS is organized in a manner somewhat analogous to a council- manager form of government. The BOard 6f Directors, consisting of a representative from each member agency, is analogous to the electorate. The five-member Executive Committee is analogous to a municipal council with the President serving in a manner similar to a mayor. The Executive Committee in turn selects a chief adminis- trative officer designated the Executive Director. An advisory body, the Systems Evaluation Committee (SEC), consisting of repre- sentatives from Administration, Finance, Assessors, City Clerks, Public Safety, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development reviews all proposals for new systems, major enhance- ments and major hardware upgrades and makes recommendations to the Executive Committe. User groups in each functional area partici- pate in detail design and evaluation of candidate systems, enhance- ment design, and ongoing operational needs. These groups pass on recommendations for new investments to the SEC~ < > LOGIS GOAL The goal, as adopted by the membership November 24, 1981, is as follows: and formally restated The goal of LOGIS is to develop, maintain and support the ongoing operation of computer based management information systems for use by Minnesota municipalities and other appropriate Minnesota govern- mental instrumentalities. The scope of the systems will reflect the full scope of municipal operations to the extent that additions are judged by the membership to be cost-effective. Such systems are to be made available where feasible to any LOGIS member without licensing fees for operation on a centralized basis, a stand-alone basis, or a distributive basis and with service charges to be designed to the extent practicable to recover actual cost of service from the entity benefiting from the service. The LOGIS system design concept stresses common program usage to reduce maintenance and support costs, ease of use by personnel unskilled in computer technology, and generalization to provide options to users without the necessity of program changes. < > HISTORY Following the initial organization meeting in June, 1972, LOGIS members evaluated candidate systems and selected GEMUNIS (General- ized Municipal Information System), a proprietary product of GEMUNIS Computer Services, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Initial operation began in mid-1973 with a remote hookup to a computer cen- ter at Santa Clara, California. One year later, the GEMUNIS system was licensed for use by any Minnesota governmental unit and oper- ations for the seven initial operating members were transferred to the Hennepin County computer center in Minneapolis. In 1978, LOGIS members contracted for conversion of the"Financial Control System, Payroll/Personnel System, Utility Billing System, and the Equipment Control System to current state-of-the-art structure on a "super- mini" computer which would offer, on-line, a generalized file "QUERY" capability, increased flexibility for adding new appli- cations at lower cost, and other benefits. The project life of five years will write off all costs of acquisition, conversion, and startup from operating revenues. On October 31,. 1980, LOGIS accepted the computer hardware and applications software, and authorized its financing, entity, the Minnesota Muni6ipal Leasing Corporation, to disburse the stipulated funds to the contractor. This act automatically invoked a five year lease agreement between LOGIS and MMLC for the hardware and software. The amount of lease payment required of LOGIS is the debt service payment required of MMLC. At the end of the five-year period, LOGIS may purchase the system from MMLC but the proceeds of the purchase must be returned to LOGIS members in proportion to their payments. During and following the conversion project, other applications were imple- mented. These included a Property Data System (property valu- ations, homestead records, computer-aided appraisal, and more), Fixed Asset Management, Liquor Inventory Control with computer polling of electronic cash registers, Deputy Registrar System, and a Police Management System (POSSE). < > OPERATIONS. The GEMUNIS system and other LOGIS applications are real-time tele- processing oriented systems designed to provide maximum control at the user site. Each user agency is provided with one or more terminals. A variety of hard-copy or video display terminals is available to choose from depending on the applications, need for special keyboard configuration, or special terminal functions. The user makes a connection to the LOGIS computer through the telephone system, and signs on with an identification containing a password. After signing on and being recognized, the user enters a command which calls up the program to be used (for example, payroll or utility billing). Operation is then ready to begin. All data entry, inquiry to the master records and scheduling-of reports is through the terminal. At the end of the business day during second and third shift, the computer center backs up all files and generates whatever payrolls, utility bills, or reports have been ordered through the terminal. From 6:00 to 9:00 a.m., the output is sorted and prepared for delivery. A courier picks up the materials and delivers them to the user agencies that day. The cost of operations is recovered from the users through a schedule of service charges assessed automatically by the system based on rates adopted by the Executive Committee. These service charges reflect the cost of computer center resources (CPU time, reports printed, direct labor charges), and in addition, the cost of printing forms and the cost of LOGIS staff time devoted to user problems. The revenues and expenditures for each function (pay- roll, financial, etc.) are identified separately, and after allo- cation of operating expenses which cannot be directly associated with any specific module, are used as a basis for determining service charges. The Executive 'Committee~is authorized to set or change rate schedules following appropriate notification of members. < > MEMBERS During 1983, users of the system were as follows: Member PR UB FS EC FA PA PDS LICS DEPS SA Apple Valley X X X Brooklyn Center X X X Brooklyn Park X X X Coon Rapids X X Cottage Grove X X X Crystal X X X Eagan X X X Eden Prairie X X X Edina X X X Fridley X X X Golden Valley X X X Hutchinson X X X Lakeville X X X Maple Grove X X X Maplewood X X X Mendota Heights X X X MSFC* X X Minnetonka X X X Morris X X _~i40~nd ~_ ~ X North S~.

These investments were as follows: Electric Utility Billing - $9,267 This capability, completed in 1983, was sponsored and paid for by the City of North St. Paul. In addition to the basic water and sewer capabilities now available through the GEMUNIS Utility Billing System, the new version provides for billing metered electric service accounts. A single, unified bill format combines service billing for electric, water, sewer, refuse removal, and up to ten miscellaneous charges. Equipment Control - $9,991 This rolling stock cost accounting module has been in service for ten years; however, its use has been limited because a number of features were lacking. The investment provided corrections for some of the inoperable features, addition of some new features, and an automatic interface to the financial system. Expansion Project - $1,374 Expansion of floor space and office facilities, was completed. begun in 1982, System Capacity Upgrade - $88,537 A second aspect of the expansion decision involved providing additional processing capacity including, additional disc storage space, main computer memory expansion and added ports (or termi- nal connections) to one of the presenb computers, and a third Series III processor. Special Assessment Module - $9,038 A Special Assessments module, which could be used either as a stand-alone module or as an adjunct to the Property Data System, was implemented during 1982 and enhanced during 1983. 'The module provides capabilities for automated certification reports to the county, special assessment roll printing, special assessment search, special assessment amortization schedules, generation of mailing labels, and other special reports. In addition, capabilities are provided to address a variety of informational needs such as indicators to flag the issuance of special permits, orders and the like. Property Data System Enhancements - $2,194 Enhancements to this module included improvements in some of the screens, refinements to the CAA process, an additional report, and addition of a program to calculate the equivalent cash value of a residential property derived from the sale price of 11 all the financing provisions. Fixed Asset Management System - $1,368 Enhancements to this application included addition of two asset acquisition reports, two asset retirement reports, an activity listing of asset file changes, addition of sub-asset accounting capability a new report for insured assets, and a simplified process for calculating depreciation on assets. Payroll/Personnel System - $2,226 Improvements to this module included the addition of year-to-date fields for hospitalization, union dues and PERA, a hospitali- zation code to identify hospitalization plan, addition of reports to audit hospitalization and other deductions, and addition of a capability to accommodate a tax exempt deduction for employee health and child care accounts. General Consulting - $556 The Executive Director is authorized discretionary general consultation as needed. This funding necessary technical support to such tasks as: funding for provides the - Review of technical issues associated with short-term capacity planning. - Preparation of proposals in response to user group requests. - "On demand" assistance programming problems. < > NEW APPLICATIONS in resolving certain operational or Vehicle Management System - $20,880 During 1983, a committee of Public Works representatives established as a priority for Public Works management support the development of a full-scale equipment maintenance management system. This decision reflected several factors: equipment repair and parts costs escalating even more rapidly than equip- ment purchase costs; the need to optimize equipment maintenance schedules; the need to make equipment replacement decisions based on analysis of usage, life-to-date costs and maintenance cost trends; the need to better control and allocate the cost of repair parts and maintain inventory records; the need to better control maintenance activities and scheduling; and the need for improved acoounting for shop labor. After review of several candidate systems, including the LOGIS Equipment Control System which has been in use for ten years, the members decided on a course of action. A system trade-named "TOOLS" was licensed from Bialous Systems, Inc., of Kentucky. A joint project was entered into between BSI and LOGIS to develop an improved version of the system, now known as the Vehicle Management Sytem (VMS). This system, scheduled for implementation early in 1984, provides the following capabilities: - Equipment Master Records - ~as~c veh£ela d ta (ID, m~nu- faeturer, configuration, costs and revenues for current year- to-date and life-to-date, operating statistics, repair parts, equipment lists and PM schedule overrides) - Central Services Rental (motor-pool rental miles or hours) service based on - Repair Order Processing - Fuel Metering Interface (fuel consumption, either by manual entry or interface to a fuel metering system) - Preventive Maintenance Scheduling - Parts Purchasing and Receiving - Parts Inventory - Audit Trail To implement the project, the membership authorized an appropri- ation of $50,000 from the 1984 budget. However, the City of Brooklyn Park sought immediate implementation. Therfore, an agreement was reached wherein Brooklyn Park would fund implemen- tation of the system beginning in 1983 with the understanding that the City would be repaid if any other LOGIS member decided to use the system. Of the $20,880 expended on the project, $16,920 was invoiced to Brooklyn Park. Word Processing - $7,522 After evaluation of several word processing packages, a commercial product~ TEXTPRO, was licensed for use on the central processor. The system supports a wide range of functions includ- ing a speller, decimal alignmen%, internal arithmetic, data base access, mail and merge, column movement, automatic index and table of contents, file maintenance reporting, and many more. The system was acquired primarily for LOGIS internal documen- tation support needs, but is also available to usersf Long Range Plan - $4,987 A "plan for a plan" was initiated objectives: in 1983 with the following - Review current LOGIS policies and procedures as they may affect future planning. - Define the issues to be addressed in phase. a more detailed second 13 - Define the scope of work to be included in a second phase. The 50 page report, which was published in April, highlighted the issues to be addressed as identified by the users, and outlined the growth probabilities in equipment and staff at LOGIS if growth in membership and applications followed the historical trends. However, two major issues needed to be clarified before entering the second phase of the planning process. These are the role of the microcomputer and the extent to which members may move to stand-alone installations. The planning process was suspended until these issues could be dealt with. Park and Recreation Management - $2,451 A Park and Recreation User Group was formed and established the development of a system for scheduling facilities and activities as a priority. The funding was provided to initiate a feasibility investigation. The users hope to have an operational system by mide-1984. < > FUTURE PLANS The long-range planning process, begun in 1982, stalled in 1983 due to major uncertainties in the role of personal computers and distributed processing during the coming months and years. However, a picture is beginning to emerge of sufficient clarity to suggest that the process can be continued during the coming year and brought to a conclusion. Software developments will continue during 1984 with improvements to existing applications and the introduction of new applications. Specific plans include the following: _ - The new Vehicle Management System w£11 go on-line during the first month of 1984. It is estimated that six cities will be using the system by year-end. - A Park and Recreation User Group has been working diligently on the design of an Activity Registration System and a Facility Sch, duling System. Concern is building toward a Fecommendation to implement by mid-1984. - Strong interest has been expressed in modernizing the Payroll System and expanding its personnel capabilities during 1984. - Interest in a document management system has been developing. Research on available software will begin in 1984. FINANCIAL SECTION GMHCo GEORGE M. HANSEN COMPANY, P.A.

The following is a summary of the more significant policies: A. Fund Accounting The accounts of LOGIS are organized oN the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. Resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. B. Fixed Assets Fixed assets used in operations are accounted for in the General Fixed Asset Account Group, rather than.in the other funds. All fixed assets are valued at historical cost. Depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets depending on the type of asset. Equipment and fixtures are depreciated on a straight line basis unless introducti6n of a new product has resulted in substantial depreciation of a piece of equipment due to technical obsolescence. System software purchased by LOGIS is recorded at original purchase price plus the cost of transfer, installation and test. The software is depreciated on a reverse sum of the years' digit basis. C® Basis of Accounting o Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. All funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they are earned, and their expenses-are recognized when they are incurred. LOGIS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DecemWer 31, 1983 Note I Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) D. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting LOGIS follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: 1. Prior to January 1, the budget is adopted by the Board of Directors. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all funds. Budgets for all funds are consistent with generally principles (GAAP). adopted on a basis accepted accounting Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended. Individual amendments were not material in relation to the original appropriations which were amended. E. Accumulated Unpaid Vacation and Sick Pay Accumulated unpaid vacation and sick pay are accrued as earned in all funds. F.

The payments have been estimated as follows: Year Amount 1984 $167,550 1985 165,775 $333,325 Lease expense for the years ended December 31, 1983, and 1982, was $159,884 and $159,934, respectively. Other Lease LOGIS is currently leasing its office space under a five year agreement which expires in September, 1984. Base annual rental for the five year period is $17,430. Due to Minnesota Municipal Leasing Corporation (MMLC) The amount due to MMLC results ~rom a timing difference between actual lease payments made by LOGIS and lease expense recognized under the accrual basis of accounting. The difference was netted against other amounts owed to LOGIS who paid certain costs on behalf of MMLC. This results in a $10,175 payable to MMLC at December 31, 1983. Reserved Fund Balance Within the total Class 2 fund balance, the amount of $85,522 has been reserved for system development. Of this amount, $17,015 has been designated for existing projects and $68,507 remains undesignated. r! 696¢gE$ 69Z'~t 069¢EI$ 8~0¢I E~9¢9 660~E ~0~'I g80'g OEL~I gLO¢fi9$ 09E¢9I $ -0- ~'6o~, o~9 ~9I 99E 906¢I ~¢II 69gc9E 09I¢g OIECg 09L'08 ~ 0~'9~ 00[ OOg I~n%ov I~ngov g~6I Ig a~qm~o~G eou~I~q punM I Ka~nu~£ oou~I~q punM ~ou~I~q puns ul os~o~ouI ~MH~ZIGNMSXZ qVAOA ~ou~n~uI ~ou~usguI~m pu~ $u~a s~Ilddns eoIJ$O suoIqeotIqnd pue MuIquta8 suot~otunmmoD gU~glnsuoo pu~ I~uolss~joa6 sa~qm~m MuIseutpaooo g§6I ~I£ ~N~O~G GZGN~ EV~X ZONVqV~ GN~ GNV SZ~dZIGN~SXZ 'S~dNZAZH (NOI~¥EASINIMGV) I ~gVqO SIDOq LOGIS CLASS 2 (CAPITAL) REVENUES'~ EXPENDITURES AND FUND BALANCE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 198~ WITH COMFARATIVE ACTUAL AMOUNTS F0R YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31~,, 1982 REVENUES Member assessments Other assessments LiquOr inventory Deputy registrar Electric utility Vehicle management Interest earnings Other TOTAL REVENUES EXPENDITURES Personal services Professional and consultant Communications Printing and publications Training and conferences Travel Office rent and maintenance Furnishings, equipment. software Other TOTAL EXPENDITURES Decrease in fund balance Fund balance January 1 Fund balance December 31 1983 Budget Actual 1982 Actual $ 57,500 $ 62,100 $ 48,000 11,290 1,800 412 9,942 16,569 920 lO,O00 3,161 12,851 70,000 , ~,000 $137,500. $ 87,413 $ 8 ,632" $ 32,419 $ 6,686 27,800 40,359 1,550 111,884 160 ~160,639 $(73,226) i70,021 $ 96,795 100,178 i, 60,39 . $(22,897) $ 20,080 51,297 896 2,089 55? 5?O 3,664 32,790 1,789 $113,732 $(29,100) 199,121 $170,021 ,I LOGIS CLASS'3 (OPERATIONS) REVENUE~ EXPENDITURES AND FUND BALANCE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1983 '' WITH COMPARATIVE ACTUAL AMOUNTS FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,.1982 REVENUES Participating members Operations Direct billings Other TOTAL REVENUES EXPENDITURES Personal services Operations Direct billings Professional and consultant Operations Direct billings Communications Operations Direct billings Printing and publications Operations Direct billings Training and conferences Operations Direct billings Travel Operations Direct billings Office supplies Office rent and maintenance Rent - computer equipment Operations Direct billings Rent - computer services Furnishings, equipment, software Operations Direct billings Maintenance - equipment Operations Direct billings Insurance Computer facility lease Other Operations Direct billings TOTAL EXPENDITURES Increase (decrease) in fund balance Fund balance (deficit) January 1 Fund balance December 31 1983 Budget Actual 1982 Actual $636,862 $660,674 $478,517 79,799 331,741 154,681 9,921 6,982 _ 7~432 $726~582 $999~$9~. $640,630 $280,033 $270,851 $186,235 6,363 7,759 12,159 9,132 12,504 8,526 450 26,077 21,487 17,513 16,737 15,493 31,831 36,861 22,283 11,249 120 4,021 2,474 1,518 148 720 3,577 2,808 234 28,187 29,625 22,040 27,790 2U,827 5,434 29,798 lb, 464 19,000 25,292 208,317 80,835 70,739 4R,868 1,433 1,206 169,150 159,884 108 1,074 225 ~714,742. $996~1~2 $ 11~840 $ 3,275 $ 7,467 711 59 22,832 21,533 6,100 34,4O9 11'906 71,804 48,450 23,766 1,633 159,934 1,330 101 $66) $(28,533) 32,~725, $ 4,19,' I'o~ 25 LOGIS STATEMENT OF 0ENERAL ~I×ED ASSETS DECEMBER 31, 1983 AND 1982 GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Facilities and fixtures Small tools Software TOTAL Less: Accumulated depreciation 1983 $ 170,275 591 977,,~78 $1,148,244 (588,416) $ 559,828 1982 $ 51,923 917,618 $969,541 (489,273) $480,268 INVESTMENT IN GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Members Grants, contributions and other TOTAL Less: Amortization of investment $ 787,247 360,,997 $1,148,244 (588,416) $ 559,828 $702,995 266,546 $969,541 (489,273) $480,268 STATISTICAL SECTION SCHEDULE LOGIS OF MEMBER INVESTMENT DECEMBER 31~ i9'83.

For the quarter, Tonka reported a net loss of $332,000 or $.31 per share compared to a net loss of $1,570,000 or'$1.46 per share for the same period in 1983. First quarter 1984 net sales were $20,155,000, an increase of 73% from first quarter sales of $11,661,000 last year. "Tonka's first quarter sales increase reflectS a very strong "said Stephen G trade response to the Company's 1984 products, . Shank, Tonka President and Chief Executive Officer. "Tonka's new GoBots product line - action figures that turn into vehicles - is - more - Tonka Corporation 4144 Shoreline Boulevard, P.O. Box 445, Spring Park, Minnesota 55384 612/475-9500 -2- generating outstanding retail sales and has established itself as a leader in the action figure market for 1984. In addition, trade orders are strong for the Company's other product lines, particularly large Tonka trucks, the new TNT action vehicles and the new Sidewinder, a high-function plastic tricycle," according to Shank. "At the end of the first quarter, orders for the domestic market exceeded the Company's total domestic shipments in 1983,~ said Shank. "Although this is a very favorable trend, it should be recognized that, to some extent, the substantial increase in our order backlog is a result of an acceleration in the timing of order commitments by the retail trade compared to the order, pattern experienced in 1983. Most orders are subject, to cancellation by the customer until shipment by the Company." "In addition to the sales increase, the improvement in first quarter operations resulted from the substantial progress which we have achieved in increasing production and efficiency levels at our E1 Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facilities, said Shank. "Reflecting this progresst the first quarter profit margin on sales increased by seven percentage points compared to the prior year - a major factor contributing to the improvement in the Company's financial performance." "We expect the current favorable order pattern and the improved efficiencies at our domestic manufacturing operations to - more - -3- support a healthy sales volume and a return to profitability in the second quarter and for the full year," said Shank. Tonka Corporation is a worldwide manufacturer and marketer of quality toys under the Tonka brand name. The Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is traded under the symbol TKA.
