Council of the City of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, was held at
5B41 Maywood Road in said City on December 6, 198B.

Jessen, Gary Paulsen and Russ Peterson. Mayor Bob Polston arrived

Pearson, City Engineer John Cameron, Police Chief Bruce Wold, Building

MINUTES
The Minutes of the November 15, 1983, Regular Meeting were presented
for consideration. Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to
approve the Minutes of the November 15, 1983, Regular Meeting as
presented. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
PETITION TO RESTRICT PARKING ON pIPER ROAD
The City Manager explained that the City has received a petition
signed by 55 people asking that the City Council restrict parking on
both sides of Piper Road from Tuxedo Blvd. to Warner Lane for the
safety of motorists and pedestrians.
The Police Chief had written a memo to the City Manager explaining his
research into Piper Road. It stated that the signs had not been
reinstalled-following the completion of a paving project and that in
his conversations with some of the petitioners there are some reasons
for amending the ordinance as it is written. The problems seem to be
the character of the roadway and the lines of sight along the roadway;
the fact that Piper Road serves as an arterial to Warner Lane and for
those residents living on Cedar Point; the road has a steep hill which
is difficult to climb during some of the winter months; a retaining
wall on the southeast corner of the intersection of Piper Road and
Warner Lane severly limits visibility for cars traveling north on
Warner and attempting to view traffic traveling west on Pip6r.
Because of the above residents are complaining about near head on
collisions and the need to amend the ordinance to restrict all parking
on Piper Road. The Police Chief is recommending that the Council
amend the Ordinance to ban parking on the the north side of Piper Road
from Warner Lane to Tuxedo Blvd, because that part of the road is wide
enough t~ permit parking on one side of the street and he feels it
would b& a hardship on persons living on Piper Road to find parking
December 6, 1983
for guests who wanted to visit.
Mr. Jim Regan, 5334 Piper Road, was present and stated that he dis-
agrees with the Police Chief about a restriction of parking causing a
hardship for the residents of Piper Road. He stated he feels everyone
on Piper Road has ample room on their property to park additional cars
and does except for one party who has about 4 or 5 vehicles which are
always parked illegally on the street. He stated he started the
petition and is still asking that parking be banned on both si~es of
Piper Road.
The Council discussed the problems on Piper Road and asked if the
residents had been notified that this request was~on the Agenda this
evening. The City Manager answered yes. Councilmember Jessen stated
that she would be in favor of the Police Chief's recommendation for
parking on one side of Piper Road to begin with and then if that
didn't bring.any adverse reaction from the residents after a yea~
maybe banning on both sides.
Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to have the City Attorney
put in ordinance form an amendment to Chapter 46 of the City Code
banning parking on either side of Piper Road from Tuxedo to Warner and
bring back before the end of the meeting. The vote was 3 in favor
with Councilmember Jessen voting nay. Motion carried.
ON STREET PARKING VARIANCE - BRYANT LANE
The' City Manager eXplained that this is an on street' parking variance
that is being requested by Roger Frank, 3061 Highland Blvd. because.
his house fronts on Highland Blvd. but has no driveway on Highland.
His access to the property is on Bryant Lane, a dead end street off of
Idlewood. He has stated on the application that he will be building a
double garage off of Bryant in the Spripg, with enough space left on
the apron for 2 additional cars off. of Bryant. The Street Superinten-
dent has rec.ommended approval of this variance for this Winter season.
Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to approve the "on street
parking variance of Roger Frank, 3061 Highland Blvd. for the 198384
winter season. The vote was unanimoulsy in favor. Motion carried.
REVISION OF PLANNING & DOCK FEES FOR 1984
The City Manager explained that as a followup to the 1984 Budget
review, he is proposing a list of increases for the planning, zoning
and dock fees for 1984. They will more closely reflect the actual
costs incurred by the City in reviewing and processing time. The
changes would be as follows:
1983

The City Manager explained that one of his goals is to make the
Planning and Zoning Department selfsufficient and this increase will
help move toward this goal. With the Dock Permits at $75.00 per year
Ghat will give commons maintenance another $4,000 to work with.
Councilmember Paulsen asked if that was all that would be spent on
commons maintenance. The City Manager stated that there is money in
Revenue Sharing that also will be spent for commons maintenance.
Peterson moved and Jessen seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION ~83-212 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE REVISION OF
PLANNING & DOCK FEES FOR 198~
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
CASE ~83-26~: HAROLD L, KUTZNER, 4653 CARLOW ROAD, LOT SPLIT/SUB
DIVISION
The City Manager explained that Mr. Kutzner wants to split Lot 5 off
and deed it to his neighbor, Mr. Cloud, so he can combine it with his
other lots-(Lots 19,20, 21 and 22). The reason for this is that this
lot can only be reached easily from Mr. Cloud's property.
Next he would like to combine the South 1/2 of Lots 1,2,3,and 4 with
Lots 23, 24, 25 and 26 so that the house his daughter lives in will
have more land. Mr. Kutzner plans to keep the North 1/2 of Lots
1,2,3, and 4 as access to Lots 37, 38, 39, 2, 3, 4, and 5, of Block 10
(providing a way to the lake which he wants someday to deed to his
grandchildren). This land is wetlands and unbuildable.
The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the lot split/sub-
division.
Mr. Kutzner and Mr. Cloud were present.
Peterson 'moved and Paulsen seconded the following resolution:

CASE ~83-265:
LOWELL ZITZLOFF, 6365 BAY RIDGE ROAD, VARIANCE FOR
ACCESSORY BUILDING PROVISIONS
The City Manager explained the Mr. Zitzloff is asking to be allowed to
install a bathroom in his garage. The Planning Commission recommended
approval with the stipulation that any future remodeling on this
accessory building would be brought before the Planning Commission and
that the garage will not be converted for living area.
Jessen moved and Peterson seconded the following resolution:

public hearing on the.vacation of part of Lagoon Park for January 17,'
1983, at 7:30 P.M. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion.
carried.
CASE ~83-255; SCHLEE, BUILDERS, WOODCREST OF MOUND 3RD ADDITION,
VARIANCES TO FRONT YARD SETBACKS
The City Manager stated that this item has been continued from pre-
vious meetings and that Schlee Builders has now submitted drawings for
the 5 lots in Block 1 showing the homes at 20 and 30 foot setbacks and
their relationship to the hill.
The Council asked various questions about the possible drainage
problems that might ocurr. Mr. Fierst stated that he would have to
submit a drainage plan to the Building Inspector for approval before
building permits would be issued so he didn't think that would be a
problem. He stated he still felt that a 20 foot setback would be an
advantage to the people who would eventually own the homes because it
would not place the back of their homes right up against the hill.
Councilmember Jessen asked if they could place a different style home
on the lots and maybe even combine some of the lots so that they met
the setbacks. Mr. Fierst stated no that financially that would not be
feasible and would not change where they wanted the setbacks becaus~

December 6, 1983
The Council then discussed retaining walls, etc. to control erosion
and look aesthetically more desirable.
· Councilmember Peterson stated he thought they could meet the 30 foot
setback on Lots 1 and 2 with no problem. Acting Mayor Charon agreed.
?eterson moved and Charon seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION ~83-215 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A 10 FOOT FRONT YARD
SETBACK VARIANCE FOR LOTS 3,4 AND 5, BL~CK 1,

BACK
The vote was 2 in favor with Councilmembers Jessen and Paulsen voting
nay. Motion denied.
Councilmembers Jessen and Paulsen both stated that do not believe in
granting variances on new construction and that the ordinance should
be followed for new construction.
BINGO PERMITS_
The City Manager explained that both of the following permits are for
1984; Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church and American Legion Post
#398.
Paulsen moved and JesSen seconded a motion to approve Bingo Permits
for Out'Lady of the Lake Catholic Church (every Thursday during 1984
and 4 Saturdays dates to be determined) and American Legion Post #398
(3rd Wednesday of each month in 1984 and 4 dates to be determined).
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
pURCHASE OF POLICE, INVESTIGATOR AUTOMOBILE
The City Manager explained that the Police Chief had suggested that
the City purchase a different car for the police investigator. The
body of the car is beginning to fall apart, it has 60,000 miles on it
and the fr. ont seat is completely broken down. When they discussed
this it was thought that buying a good used car might be a good alter-
native because it could be traded every year and a half to two years
and would also not allow people to predict the make of car he will be
driving.
The original idea was to purchase a car for approximately $2,500, but
the used car market has been very tight and quality used cars ha,ye
risen in price. Quality used cars 4 and 5 years old with 50 to 60,000
miles are priced at around $3,400. Two months ago, Sgt. Hudson
purchased a 1978 Ford Thunderbird, paying $2,500 for the car and
spending an additional $200 on tune-ups and licensing. He is willing
to sell the car to the City for $2,600. The average book value on
this car is around $2,900. The .City Manager and the Police Chief are
®
December 6, 1983
recommending the purchase of this car because it appears to be the
quality used car at the right price.
Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to purchase the 1978 Ford
Thunderbird from Sgt. Hudson for $2,600. The vote was unanimously in
favor. Motion carried.
PAINTING INTERIOR OF CITY HALL
The City Manager reported that he has received only one qu°tatiqn for
the painting of the interior of City Hall. Several people were
contacted and came out to look at the Hall but only one quoted,
Minnetonka Painti'ng & Decorating Co.
Paulsen moved and Jessen seconded a motion to table this item to the
December 20th Meeting to allow the City Manager to secure at least one
more quotation. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
BID TABULATION: LOAPER
The City Manager explained that 3 bids were received On November 30,
1983, for the purchase of a four wheel articulated, rubber tired front
end loader. They were as follows:

to explain his bid.
The Council discussed the total cost bid concept which includes the
guaranteed repurchase in 5 years. It was decided they probably will
be taking advantage of the guaranteed repurchase this time because the
loader is being used so much more since the streets have been paved·
The Public Works Superintendent and the City Manager recommended the
Ziegler total cost bid be approved.

SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE
CITY COUNCIL
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special meeting of the City
Council of the City of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, was held
at 5341 Maywood Road in said City on December 13, 1983.
Those present were: Acting Mayor Russ Peterson, Coun¢ilmembers
Phyllis Jessen and Gary Paulsen. Mayor Bob Polston and Council~ember
Pinky Charon were absent and excused. Also present were: ~olice
Chief Bruce Wold, City Clerk Fran Clark and City Engineer John
Cameron.
Acting Mayor Peterson opened the meeting and welcomed the people in
attendance.
M,S.A, CONSTRUCTION FUND STATUS REPORT
City Engineer John Cameron was present and handed out a map of the
City denoting State Aid streets and County State Aid highways. He
explained that as of December 31, 1983, the City should have
$95,462.49 in their construction fund. The tentative apportionment
for 1984 is $141,872.00, of which $34,000 will be earmarked for main-
tenance, leaving $107,872.00 to be added to the construction fund.
Each year the City makes their interest and principal payment from
these funds for the MSA Bonds that were sold in 1981. Only principal
is paid from the construction fund, interest is paid from maintenance
funds.. He estimated what the City 'can expect to have $433,000 in
their construction fund at the end of each year through 1988, if no
mones were spent except for the bond principal payments.
The State Aid rules set a maximum which is allowed to accumulate in
the construction, fund at $300,000 or twice the annual allotment
(whichever is greater) as of June 30 of the current year, not
including the current year's allotment. This would mean that the City
would not have to use any of this fund until at least 1987 or possible
1988.
The one street that could be considered for improvement, because of
the possible Post Office remodeling, is Auditor's Road. The State has
the first 530 feet east of Commerce designated as one section and from
this point across Lost Lake to Cypress Lane at City Hall as another
section. The dividing point for these two sections is approximately
at the M.T.C. driveway. The estimated cost for complete improvements
for this first section, as per MSA estimates, is approximately
$67,000. This might be the time to consider making Auditor's Ro'ad
more than an alley possibly rerouting the road slightly to provide
parking closer to the businesses on that road.
The City is .4 of a mile shore of the maximum State Aid designation.
The extension of Belmont Lane past the Post Office could probably be
added to-the system. MSA monies could then be used for upgrading this
December 13, 1983
section along with all of Auditor's Road. The approximate cost of the
two would be $150,000. According to all calculations, this money
would be available in the construction fund at any time.
Both of these areas can be discussed in more dept'h when the
preliminary engineering report on the Post Office improvements is
presented in the near future.
1983 DOCK PERMIT REFUNDS

APplicant
Edward M. Monette
2919 Holt Lane
Mound, MN. 55364
Phone: 472-7513
The applicant, Mr. Monette, is requesting to repair and replace a collapsed
basement wall section of his home.
The Zoning Code Section 23.404(7) states:
"Normal maintenance of a building or other structure containing or related
to a lawful non-conforming use is permitted, including necessary non-
structural repairs and incidental alterations which do not extend'or intensi-
fy the non-conforming use."
The Zoning Ordinance for the R-3 Zoning District requires 6,000 square foot
lot size. This parcel has 4,273 square .feet±. The floor area required is
840 s_quare feet; the present floor area is 1040 square feet on main floor.
Recommendation:
I would 'recommend the structural repairs need to be made to
the structure. The structure and use will not be intensified
in size by the repairs. The lot is undersized by the present
Zoning Ordinance.
The abutting neighbors have been notified.

Planning Commission Agenda of December 12, 1983:
Board of Appea)s
Case No. 83-269
Location: 1932 Shorewood Lane
Legal Desc.: Lots 8 & 9, Block 2, Shady-
wood Point
Request: Subdivision (lot-split)
Zoning District: R-1
Applicant
Lou Beasley
1932 Shorewood Lane
Mound, MN. 55364
Phone: 472-3304
The applicant, Mr. Beasley, is requesting to sell off 15 feet of Lot 8 to his
neighbor. The lot area of his parcel would be 12,180.5 square feet and the
neighboring parcel lot area would be 9,460.75 square feet. He is also requesting
a waiver of the subdivision requirements and a variance to the accessory utility
building setback requirements.
The City ordinance for the R-1 Zoning District requires )0,000 square foot parcel
size and a 60 foot minimum lot width. The lot width required would be met. The
)ot area would exceed the required on one parcel and be within 10% of the required
lot size on the other parcel. The setbacks to the lot line for the utility
building (boathouse) would have a zero foot sideyard setback. The required
accessory building setbacks Section 23.407(5)(a) to the side yard is 4 feet and
4 feet to the rear lot line. The City Code requires two off street parking
spaces. The subdivision of the parcel would eliminate one stall. The owner, Mr.
Beasley, should provide another parking ~tall on his new parcel; total area
required is 325 square feet times 2 spaces = 650 square feet.
Recommend:
The abutting neighbors have been notified.
Staff recommends the subdivision of the parcel and that the utility
building would require another variance approval if any structural
modifications are planned for the building before building permits
would be allowed. Also, anothe~ extension of the offrstreet parking
area should be made on the Lot 9 and Lot 8, except the.NWly. 15 feet
thereof to provide an area of 650 square feet.or an agreement with
the new owner of the adjacent lot.'

Case No. 83-269 Subdivision (Lot,split), 1932 Shorewood Lane
Lots 8 & 9, Block 2, ShadywOod Point -
Lou Beasley and Danny Johnson were present.
The Building Inspector explai, ned applicant is requesting to sell 15 feet to
the adjoining neighbor, Danny Johnson. Lot 7 and the 15 feet Mr. Johnson is
buying from Mr. Beasley.would give him 9,460.75 square feet of lot area so
that his lot is closer to'conforming size (within'lO% of the 10,OO0 square
feet required for a building site). There is a cabin on Lot 7 which Mr. John-
son plans to tear down and build a new house. The remaining portion of Lot
8 and 9 has a boat house which would have a zero foot sideyard setback. The
required setbacks for accessory building are 4 foot sideyard, 4 foot to rear
lot line and the setback requirement from the mean high water elevation for
accessory building floor, has to be 3 feet above flood elevation; but there
is gravel in building and no floor. Building is in good condition.
Mr. 8easley stated he plans.to build a. garage in the future and at that time,
he would be wi)ling to take down boathouse. Needs it for storage now.
Discussed that replacing summerl cabin with year around house is commendable.
Also discussed briefly that the off-street parking area would be worked out.
Byrnes moved and Vargo seconded a motion tolrecommend that the subdivision
be approved with the stipulation that if any structure) changes or additions
be made to Lot 8 except the NWly 15 feet and Lot 9, Block 2, Shadywood Point,
it.would come back to the Planning Commission and further that the required
off-street parking be provided. The vote was unanimously in favor.

Purchase of Police Car
MEMO
DATE December 8, 19j[
I have attached a purchase order for the purchase of a 1984 Ford
from Brookdale Ford. Brookdale Ford won the bid from the Hennepin
County Purchasing group. The price of the car is $2,000 higher
than last year. I was shocked when I discovered the price rise
from last year. The only explanation I can offer for the price
increa'se is the volume of business the car manufacturers are doing
this year. I don't think the-manufacturers offered any incentive
to the dealers this year. I recommend the City purchase the car
under this bid beCause I don't believe we can do better On our
own, and we are in dire need of a new car for the police fleet. I
would like to hand deliver the purchase order to Brookdale Ford
on December 9, 1983.

This is way down from projections because we spent the money sooner
than anticipated last year when doing 1983 projections.

Map of Water
Distribution System
Mound, Minnesota
#70-9999-4
Dear Oon:
As you are aware the City of Hound does not have a reproducible map of the
water distribution system. I visited with public works and reviewed the draw-
ings they have on file in attempting to estimate the time required to produce a
good map. They do have fairly good record drawings from the original construc-
tion for the Three Roints and Island Rark areas. Record construction drawings
for the Highlands and Dutch Lake area are not available from what we can
determine. The remainder of the City is only partially covered.
Using what appears to be available we have attempted to furnish you with
the best estimate possible for drafting of a water distribution map.
That estimated cost is $4,128.00, broke down as follows:
Technician
(meet with 'public works
and search records)
Drafting
Supervision
20 hours ® $30. O0/hour $ 600.00
100 hours ~ $30. O0/hour
12 hours ® $44.00/hour
$3,000.00
$ 528.00
If the final cost should be less than the above estimate, then the City
would be billed for our actual time. If you have any questions or need addi-
tional information, please contact us.

Wetland Ordinance
Elevation of OHW
Mound, Minnesota
#70-9999-4
Dear Oon:
As per our discussion on Wednesday, we are submitting the following recom-
mendations and our estimate for surveying services.
'We have reviewed the letter from Ooel Settles of the Hennepin'Soil and Wa-
ter Conservation District, a copy of which is attached. We would suggest that
someone such as 3oel be the person to designate the "ordinary high water mark"
(OH~) in the field by placement of a few lath around each designated wetlands.
After this is accomplished, our survey crew could shot the elevations and
establish a mean elevation for the OHW of each wetland.
This elevation could then be placed on the wetland maps and become a part
of the ordinance. We do not feel it would be necessary for the City to spend
the extra monies to locate this elevation line on the maps. Any development
request submitted to the City would be required to show elevations and this
could be compared in the normal plan review.
We estimate our fee at $2500 to $3000 for determining the OH~ elevation and
indicating these elevations on the wetlands maps.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
US.

Dear Jan:
I am enclosing a pamphlet from the Department of
Natural Resources regarding their Protected Waters and
Wetland Permit Program. The City of Mound's wetland or-
dinance is patterned after the state's permit program. The
boundary of protected waters and wetlands for regulatory
purposes is defined by the "ordinary high water mark" (0HW).
The 0HW is the elevation delineating the highest water level
which has been maintained for a sufficient period of time
to leave evidence upon the landscape. Generally it is the
point where the natural vegetation changes from predomin-
ately aquatic to predominately terrestrial (See sketch in
pamphlet).
To facilitate enforcement of local wetland ordinances
I recommend establishing the actual elevation of the 0HW as
feet above sea level. The elevation of the 0HW for each
wetland can then be used for regulatory purposes in review
of site development plans, etc.
If you have additional questions don't hesitate to
call me.

Re: Sewer Rates for 1984.
I have attached the work-up on sewer rates that I have prepared.
a presentation of rates---what they.would be if :bhey wer~e:
I gave
1)
2)
3)
4)
$18.00 for a minimum of lO,O00 and $1.20/1,000 over the minimum
$20.00 for a minimum of lO,O00 and $1.25/1,000 over the minimun
$21.00 for a minimum of 10,O00 and $1.38/!,000 over the minimun
$25.50 for a minimum of 10,000 and $1.70/1,000 over the minlmun
I't's'rather confusing, I admit, but I'll walk you through it.
I am recommending we set rates at $21.00 for a minimum of 10,O00 and
$1.38/1,000 gallons over the minimum. This is about a 16% increase
over our present rates (#1 above). This should be sufficient to get us
by until we see what effect Tonka's departure has on MWCC bill to us.

PRESENTATION BEFORE THE CITIZENS COMMISSION ON THE
METROPOLITAN WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION
REMARKS BY BILL JOYNES, REPRESENTING THE CITY OF WHITE BEAR LAKE
AND THE METROPOLITAN AREA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission:
Thank you for inviting me to appear before you tonight. I
am here representing the City of White Bear Lake as a constituent
community of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and also
the Metropolitan Area Management Association (MAMA), an association
made up of the chief administrative officers of some sixty suburban
communities. I currently serve as the chairman of MAMA's General
Labor Relations Committee, which has responsibility for the over-
all conduct of joint negotiations in the metropolitan communities
represented.
I wish to speak to two concerns this evening. First and most
obvious is the fact that I represent a suburban community whose
.sewer rates have increased over 400 percent in the last ten years.
That 400 percent is difficult for us to comprehend, given the fact
that our flowage rates have not increased dramatically during that
same period of time. Secondly, I am here because my community
and a great number of other communities in the metropolitan area
have heard for years about the excessive wages and fringe benefits
being paid by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. As
chairman of the MAMA General Labor Relations Committee, I am parti-
cularly sensitive to this issue because it has and continues to have
an effect on the conduct of labor relations in the metropolitan
area. Those of us in public management who have responsibility.for
positions similar to those employed by the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission are sensitive to the differences in wage scales and con-
duct a continuous battle to keep those wages at a manageable level.
Rather than reiterate a series of horror stories about the
compensation structure at the MWCC, I would like to deal in verifiable
facts. What I will attempt to do this evening is to give you two
very simple and general comparisons, which will graphically show
you the differences between an employee of the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission and a similar pesition employed by our member
communities. The positions chosen for comparison are (1) Accounting
Clerk II vs. MAMA's Senior Accounting Clerk~ and (2) Interceptor
Sewer Lead Man with the Waste Control Commission and MAMA's Main-
tenance Man II Sewer Lead Man. The positions were chosen because
they are common positions in most of the MAMA communities and job
content and responsibilities of the positio~ are similar. Essen-
tially, the comparison will show the cost of a body of work being
performed at MWCC as related to the same body of work in our member
communities.
Before I begin, perhaps a word is necessary about the source
of the figures you are about to see. I was successful several
months-ago in obtaining copies of two contracts currently in effect
at the Waste Control Commission. I might add that on many occa-
sions in the last ten years, various City Managers have attempted
to secure this type of information from the Waste Control Commis-
sion.. Quite candidly, those requests have been flatly denied.
Most recently I sent an intern to the Waste Control Commission to
see if she could secure some additional information as background
for this presentation, specifically a copy of the 1983 budget and,
more importantly, a breakdown of the number of individuals employed
in each job category and their wage rates. She was quite bluntly
refused any information on these two items. I might add there
was no suggestion that the information would be forthcoming atXa
later date. It simply was not available and would not be made
available. We are all obviously aware that the 5~etropolitan Waste
Control Commission is a public agency and, as such, subject to
the same public information laws that govern the rest of our
organizations. It is beyond my comprehension that an agency of
this importance would have the arrogance to deny information to
representatives of the communities it serves.
While the hesitancy of the ~WCC to provide information may
'be inappropriate and perhaps illegal, their reluctance to provide
the data is almost understandable when one looks at the cost
differences. As we proceed through the comparisons~ you might
get a better feel as to why the Waste Control Commission is reluctant
to hand over the information requested. In making the comparisons,
I have made several assumptions which I think will give you a
general picture of the difference in costs. In all cases I will
assume we are talking about a 30-year employee working from age 30
to age 60. We will assume that all employees will receive the
maximum benefits allowed by contract, and I will total those benefits
in 1983 dollars so that we will not need to speculate on inflation
rates. Additionally, we will make the assumption that an employee
will live to the age of 80 which, according to statistics~ is fairly
accurate for the State of Minnesota. In.calculating the figures
attached, the method used was to take an employee's position and
list under the contract what would be earned by that employee from
the first year through the 30th year in the category of wages, sick
leave, vacation, insurance, and any other special benefits. The
comparisons for Position 1 and Position 2 follow. When looking.
at the comparisons, a couple of things jump out.

50,220
$821,552
MWCC wage compared to MAMA Cities Rate
1,176,048 / 821,552 = 143~
First is the difference in the cost of the insurance programs for a
MAMA employee vs. someone employed by the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission. Aside from the fact that the wage rates Are higher and
the annual leave is a bit more expensive, insurance rates are more
than double what our suburban communities are paying. Particular
in'~erest should be paid in both cases to what is listed as retiree
insurance benefit. In contracts the Waste Control Commission has
negotiated an employee who retires with a certain amount of service
with the Commission is entitled to receive insurance benefits paid
by the Waste Control Commission until that individual dies. This
is a benefit that does not exist in any MAMA contracts and to my
knowledge does not exist in other metro or state agencies.
In total, you will note that in the case of the Accounting
Clerk, that position is paid at 157% of the comparable position
within MAMA communities. When'comparing the Interceptor Sewer
worker, that figure is 143%.
T~ere are several other important factors in the contract which
I think deserve discussion. The first and most glaring difference
-3-
between our fringe benefits and those of the' Waste Control~Com-
mission is the severance pay benefit. For both positions under
the Waste Control Commission, there is the possibility that an
individual could walk away with one year's salary as a severance
benefit. In addition, you will note that it is also possible
to retire a year early and use close to 2,200 hours of accrued
leave, which would be in excess of the lump sum severance payment.
This comes directly from the union contract and does say that
employees will be required to take a minimum amount of leave time.
This calculation assumes that minimum usage and assumes the
maximum accrual over that period. You will note the differenca
when compared to the severance programs currently in effect in
most MAMA communities. Lump sum payments for the Senior Accounting
Clerk are approximately $5,000 and the Maintenance Man II Leadman
$6,700. As rich a program as this seems to be itself, there exists
an even richer one in the contract 5IWCC has with Local 35 I.U.O.Eo
In that particular contract, it is possible for a particular indi-.
vidual to accrue and be paid in a lump sum benefit 3,520 hours of
work time. Under that contract, in 1983 dollars, that would amount
to a lump sum payment of $39,000 for the. lowest paid employee
.covered by the agreement to a maximum of $49,000 for the highest
paid position.

*It should be noted here that nothing in this contract restricts an
employee from retiring early and using accumulated leave (2,200 hrs.
possible) until leave is drawn down to the one year restricted level.
Something that has been particularly frustrating for all of us is
that when asked questions point blank, the Waste Control Commission
has consistently given misleading information about issues of wages
and fringe benefits. In fact, I understand that before this Commis-
sion, representatives have stated that wages and fringes have been
very comparable with Metro Area communities. Most reCently, when
one of our representatives asked the personnel department at the
M%¥CC for a comparison of fringe benefits as a percentage of wages
an the MWCC operating budget, the reply was that fringe benefits
-4-
amounted to only 18~ of total wages being paid. This is quite
frankly not the case. It is quite evident that the Waste Control
Commission does not include a monetary figure for vacation, sick
leave, and the employee's insurance benefit in those calculations.
When ,those benefits are given a dollar amount, and indeed they
should be with the type of monetized severance benefits available
under the contracts, the fringe benefit cost as a percentage of
wages jumped to around 50~. The comparable cost for the ~IAMA
positions compared averages 30~.

30.7~
Aside from the obvious direct dollar wage and fringe benefit
costs, there are some other clauses in this contract which bear scru-
tiny. The first is probably the most disturbing, even though it
does not have a direct impact on the wages and fringes as negotiated,
and is contained in an article entitled, "Sub-contracting Both in
the AFSCME Contract and the Local 35 Contract." Simply stated,
it says that the Waste Control Commission has the total authority
to sub-contract all or a portion of the work performed by an employee
under this agreement. This is a standard and necessary clause in
all of our MAMA contracts and gives us the ability to compare and
in some cases delegate work to the private sector which may be.per-
formed at a cost savings. There is an additional phrase in both
contracts with the MWCC that states that "should the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission decide to'sub-contract, it agrees that
there will be no reduction in the number of employees covered by
this agreement at the time of the sub-contracting." Obviously any'
incentive to save money through sub-contracting is totally lost.
Another disturbing element of their labor relations structure
is evidenced by the AFSCME contract, Local 668. This particular
document covers 62 separate job classifications. Both professional
and non, professional workers are covered, as well as supervisors
and those whom they supervise. Part of the ability to bargain
-5-
0ffectively with employees that are considered non-essential
(those that have the ability to strike) in the threat of taking
and weathering such a strike. By the very nature of the struc-
ture of these contracts, the Waste Control Commission has made
it almost impossible for itself to manage effectively during a
strike situation. In 1977, ~{AMA communities experienced a metro-
wide strike in our Public Works departments. In almost all cases,
we were able to cover essential services with supervisory employees.
It is obvious by looking at the structure of the AFSCME contract
with the Waste Control Commission that if a strike were to occur,
there would be nobody there to run the systems, much less answer
the phones. Certainly at a minimum, supervisors, and those they
supervise should be placed in separate units.
Finally, I think a word should be mentioned about the fact
thai part of the problem with this very rich benefit package is
that those same benefits are bargained and then enjoyed by the
management staff at the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission.
In fact, I am sure you are aware of the newspaper articles written
in the last year which talked about some of the top managers at
'the ~{WCC cashing out their accrued leaves at retirement, or in
some cases actually cashing out accrued leaves during the course
of their employment. We have experienced situations where members
of the Waste Control Commission management have actually approached
other metro agencies trying to sell this type of contract because
it is such a good deal for the managers. One must wonder how
committed these people are to good, effective financial adminis-
tration of their work place.
There are many less significant items in the contracts now
in effect which make them far richer than the 5IAMA contracts.
Sufficeth to say, they all have a bearing on a total package
which in my experience is far in excess of the wages and fringes
being paid in our communities, state, and metro agencies.
Obviously, the biggest question is, "How did something like
this happen?" It would be unfair to blame this situation on
either labor or management. The blame must specifically rest
with an organizational structure in which there are no checks
and balances on the labor relations process and on the decision-
making process in general. The Commission is very much aware
that operating budgets at the Waste Control Commission are not
even discussed at the Metropolitan Council level, that only
capital budgets are ever discussed by that representative body.
The Waste Control Commission itself does approve the operating
budget each year, but from the information we have received, it
is doubtful that even they have any concrete information on the
types of personnel policies and compensation packages that are
negotiated in any given year.
I would be remiss if I did not also admit that the cities
served by the Waste Control Commission bear some of the blame,
because it is far too easy for us to pass through the increased
costs ~f s~wer treatment. If any individual city has taken some
action in the past, it has found it incredibly difficult to find
-6-
leverage with the Commission or its staff. We don't have any
magic answers on how this situation can be improved, except to
say that a structural change needs to be made that allows the
clients of the Waste Control Commission better access to the
decision-making process. The system should allow individual
communities to be represented by Commissioners and we would hope
give communities, singly or in groups, the ability to have some
leverage over those Commissioners. We believe the Waste Control
Commission to be an agency that is essentially a monopoly which
is controlled neither by the political process nor by the market
place. We think it is an agency that is out of control, that x
has become arrogant and does basically what it pleases.. I think
that the comparisons shown you as evidence indicate this t° be
the case.
On behalf of the MAMA communities and the City of White
Bear Lake, I wish to thank you for the opportunity to present
our feelings and wish the Commission well in its investigative
responsibilities. If anyone has any questions, I would be glad
to try to answer them at this time.

Mound Municipal Water Supply
November 3~ 1983
Recommendations:
1. Abandoned deep wells, whether municipal or private, should be properly
sealed and abandoned as outlined in the Water Well Construction Code.
Geological well logs were unavaible for wells ~1 and #3. The City should
attempt to obtain these records. One method of obtaining an accurate log
is to contact the Minnesota Geological Survey for a gamma-log survey when
the well is pulled for routine maintenance.
Based upon the existing well capacity and current pumping records, the
City is deficient in available pumping capacity. The City should strongly
consider providing additional well capacity to meet maximum demands and
provide standby capability.
4..'Chlorine rooms should have:
A. (Wells #3,#6, & #7) A louvered air intake located near the ceiling
and as far a~my from the exhaust vent as possible.
B. (Wells $1 & ~7) An inspection window through which a viewer can see
the entire room.
C. (Well #1) Switches for the exhaust fan and lights located outside the
chlorine room, preferably near the inspection window.'
.6.
Undersized mains (less than 6 inches in diameter) should be replaced as
the opportunities present themselves.
All underwater crossings should be eliminated as soon as practical by
constructing an above-water crossing. An alternate method would be to
install a manhole on one side of the crossing, having valves and
appurtenances such that the crossing can be pressure tested.
The average daily water usage greatly exceeds the guidelines of providing
a minimum of one-day water storage capacity. We recommend that a study be
conducted to determine the adequacy of the system and the possible need
for increased water storage facilities.
Over the last year, this Department has not received the required
bacteriological samples from the City for ? of the last 12 months. This
is a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act (Rules Pertaining to Public
Water Supplies 7MCAR ~.147B). The City shall collect the required 11
samples per month and have them analyzed as specified in the Rule.
Mound Municipal Water Supply

9. A oomprehensive program of cross-connection surveillance should be
instituted to protect the municipal water supply. This should include:
a. The detection and correction of cross-connections to unsafe water
supplies.
b. The education of the public on the dangers of cross-connections.
(See attached article.)
c. The installation of vacuum breakers on all threaded hose bibbs in new
and old buildings. (See attached article.)
d. The replacement of defective plumbing in older buildings.
e. Periodic cross-connection inspections of potentially hazardous
industries and commercial establishments.
10. The electrical service for the fluoride pumps should be through a
programmable plug and outlet.
11. To have an effective fluoridation program, a residual of between 0.9 to
1.5 milligrams per liter should be maintained on the distribution system.
12. The opportunity for' additional training in water supply work should be
made available .to the operator. Attendance at the annual waterworks
operators seminar, held in the area, is a valuable experience for anyone
engaged in this field.

· CROSS-CONNECTION
A primary cause of' waterborne 'disease outbreaks
in m~ni.cipal and community water supply sys-
tems is a cross-connec':ibn between an unsafe
'and a safe supply o~ water. Cross-connections
can be found in almost all ~vazer .supply systems..
Under certain conditions, they can allosv toxic
materials or disease producing microorganisms
..to be backsiphoned or backpressured into the
potable water supply. If adequate ,water pres-
sure is maintained at all times the possibility of
backflow will be minimized, but inadequate
water pressure will increase the chance of back-
:flow. Many people fail to comprehend how
negative pressures can occur in water distribu-
tion syst.ems. Fluctuating pressures occur con-
stantly, and under severe conditions (e.g., fire
:flow demands, '~he flushing of hydrants, low
levels in elevated tanks, pump failure or high
localized usage), pressures can drop below atmo-
spheric pressure. Such incidents have occurred
in the past, and continue to occur.
}minlmize potential health hazards', the
~esota Health Department recommends that
:all water supply operators conduct ongoing
cros~connecdon control Programs. Enforce-
merit of the Minnesota Plumbing Code is an
integral part of any cross-connection program.
Most community systems have some type of
cross-connection program, but very few have
enforceable programs for service connections
~hat pre-date the Code. Cross-connections oc-
cur in both commercial and residential plumbing
installations. One of the most common and
potentially hazardous problem areas is the
threaded hose connection. The Plumblng Code
(MHD 130(e)(9)) requires that all outlets have an
air-gap or a backflow preventer installed. This
provision covers all new or remodeled installa-
tions, but does not require back.*low preventers
in older installations. If backflow devices are
not installed on threaded hose bibbs, and ~ertil-
izers, pesticides or herbicides are applied to
lawns and gardens using aspirators, sprayers or
erosion feed systems,'these substances . may be
backsiphoned into the drinking water supply.'
There have been a number o~. ,~,etl-documente~
cases where'pesticides and ferti!izer~ ~,ere b~ck-
s,,-,~!,, systems, in
siphoned into public water ~.~.~
Minnesota and nationwide. The waterx supply
operator can help prevent such problems, by
conducting a voluntary proEram to educate
homeowners about the insta!lation am.d use o;
backflow preventers on threaded hose bibbs. The
program should provide information on the
dangers of cross-connections, through ~ circu!ar
enclosed with the water bill, or by circulating a
separate newsletter. The operator may also wish
to make back~low preventers available, for a
fee, or provide information en where the con-
sumer mig. ht purchase approved back~low pre-
venters. The following sample letter could be
used to alert the public about poss!ble cross-
connection hazards. .
Dear Customer:
Your plumbi.ng system may have a feature
which is potentially hazardous to your health--
~he threaded hose connection (outside hose
connection, laundry tub, etc.). Toxic chemi-
cals can be "backsiphoned" into your water
supply if you use a hose for herbicide/pesticide
spraying, fertilizer applications or chemical
mixing. Backsiphonage does occasionally oc-
cur, and is more prevalent in areas .where
water pressure is low. The current Plumbing
Code requires that all newly installed threaded
hose connections be pro~eczed against backsi-
phonage by a "backflow preventer." Ii your
threaded hose connections do not have back-
flow preventers, please contact , to have
these devices installed at a minimal charge.
I:f you have any questions or comments on imple-
menting this program, please contact Dick Clark
