SUBJECT: Street Light Request - Shorewood Lane
A
A street light request was received from eight property owners, in the
seventeen hundred block of Shorewood Lane.
Reference the attached map, this is a mid block light in addition to an
existing mid -block light. Considering the. relatively short distance be-
tween existing lights and no extenuating circumstances, this request is
not recommended.
Maximum distance between existing street lights is 450 feet.

SUBJECT: Water Account 28-1717
For several years Mr. Stephenson at 1717 Finch Lane has had water pro-
blems (all previously discussed at Council meetings).
Permission was granted by Council to reroute the water service line to
a new main and to date, they have had good water. We are now at the
point where the water bill can be taken care of. No payment had been
made for three quarters due to poor communication and unsatisfactory
water conditions.
Mrs. Stephenson has agreed to pay the minimum billing for the past three
quarters, when she receives a copy of this letter. The total bill was
$149.94 but we are requesting Council to ask for the Minimum billing of
$47.16 (March - $15.46, June - $15.46 and Sept. - $16.24 ).
With the three quarters being billed at $47.16, the Stephenson's should
continue to receive good water and will pay for the actual water usage.

SUBJECT: Damage Claim
Al 7(,-/4-7
When., through necessity,, the water was turned off for gate valve installa-
tion on Emerald Drive and Wilshire Blvd. Mrs. Hill claims her faucets and
water softener were plugged with sand.
We have no way of proving her wrong as this happened at the same time con-
struction was in progress.
Mrs. Hill has paid both bills:
Water Softener repair by Sears $40.33
Water Faucet repairs by Westonka Plumbing $28.70
- 11.70
17.00
Total from both firms: $57.30
Mrs. Hill has paid both bills and reimbursement in the amount of $57.30
is suggested. This amount could come out of the Water Dept. budget.

RE: Deferred Special Assessments; Senior Citizens
SENIOR CITIZEN HARDSHIP TAX DEFERRAL LAW
,,Q /'h 'i6 - is J
OCTOBER 6, 1975
9H
M. & C. No. 75-83
October 3, 1975
Minnesota Statutes 444.22 through 444.24 provide that any county, city or
township making special assessments may, at its discretion, defer the pay-
ment of that amount for any homestead property owned by a person of at
least 65 years of age, for whom it would be a hardship.to pay such assess-
ments. The law does not define hardship; therefore, local governmental
units may use their discretion to determine such criteria. The application
process is defined for any eligible person requesting a deferment, and forms
are prescribed by the County Auditor.
The law provides that deferments shall be terminated upon occurrence of any
of the following events:
1. The death of the owner, provided the spouse is ineligible for deferments;
2. Sale, transfer or subdivision of any part of the property;
3. Loss of homestead status;
4. If the taxing authority should determine that payment of the special
assessment would no longer involve a hardship..
M.S.A. 444.23 authorizes municipalities to establish an interest rate, if they
so choose, to be added to the deferred assessment and payable in addition to
the assessment, upon termination of the deferment.
The law applies to any type of special assessment (i.e. storm sewer, sidewalk,
etc.) and may be applied to existing as well as new special assessments.
DEFERRED ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS OF OTHER CITIES
Minneapolis The Minneapolis plan if passed would defer assessment against
/ property owned by persons 65 or over, who have a gross income of less than
$10,000/year and liquid assets of less than $7,500 (also a clause which would
M. & C. No. 75-83 October 6, 1975
Page 2
provide for eligibility of other senior citizens deemed to have "excep-
tional and unusual" financial circumstances that would justify deferment).
Liquid assets would include money, savings, securities, but would not
include the value of the home, pension benefits, car or furnishings.
Bloomington - Applicant must be 65 or over, own a homestead with an assessor's
market value of not more than $75,000 and show that -the average annual princi-
pal and interest due on the assessment is in excess of 1.5 percent of current
annual income (on a 10 year term, $1,000 special assessment the dividing line
.would be approximately $9,600 annual income). Bloomington does not describe
income. Interest will be added at prevailing rate.
Minnetonka - Where hardship is determined, special assessments are deferred
for period of gime not to exceed five years. The parcel must be homestead
property of which the owner is retired as the result of age, or disability,
with an annual income not to exceed $7,500. Must be renewed annually.
South St. Paul - Applicant must be 65 or over, and own a homestead parcel.
Hardship is defined as "average annual payments of all assessments against
the subject property shall exceed one percent of the individual's adjusted
gross income as determined by the tax return filed in the year previous to the
certification of the levy".
Coon Rapids - Applicant must be 65 or over, and own a homestead parcel. The
individual must file application with the countyclaiming that the payment of
the annual installments of the assessment would be'a hardship to him. Interest
rate of 6% added.
Stillwater - Applicant must be ,65 or over and own a homestead parcel. Hard-
ship is determined by the discretion of the Council (3/5 vote). Interest
rate is also left to the discretion of the Council
Hutchinson - Applicant must be 65 or over, and own a homestead parcel. The
City Council considers application against established guidelines (3,600 annual
income and $50,000 total assets).
Little Falls - Applicant must be 65 or over and own a homestead parcel. Hard-
ship is determined by the discretion of the Council (3/5 vote). Interest rate
is also left to the discretion of the Council.
ESTIMATED IMPACT
Using the most recent available data, staff has attempted to determine.the
estimated economic impact of such a program. Due to the recentness of the
enabling legislation and the fact that few cities have adopted deferment
policies, there is little historical data upon which to base calculations.
However, the long-range effects upon the debt service cash flow have been
estimated.
The following basic data was developed with reference to 'information now.
available.
M. & C. No. 75-83 October 6, 1975 Page 3
1. The senior citizen population in St. Louis Park is approximately
5,200.
2. The senior citizen population appears evenly dispersed throughout
the City with the exception of the Fernhill, Birchwood and Brookside
areas, where there appears to be a slightly higher density.
3. The population of 5,200 senior citizens lives in approximately 3,500
housing units.
4. .Approximately 1/4 of these units are owner occupied/homesteads.
Given the above information., it is estimated that deferment of specials
would have the following impact.
A. Existing Special Assessments - If the City Council were to defer all
existing special assessments for senior citizens and assuming there are
approximately 800 parcels, paying an estimated average of $100 per year on
principal, the potential impact could be as follows:
Estimated principal per year $ 80,000
Estimated Interest 21,000 (declining)
Total Estimated Revenue Loss $101,000
`.� A revenue loss of $101,000 per year would have a significant effect upon the
debt service cash flow, and would require considerable administrative work.
B. Future Special Assessments - The effect of defering future special assess-
ments would be based largely upon the number, type and geographic location of
public improvement projects initiated.
In 1975 there were approximately $3,000,000 of public improvement projects
initiated. With the data currently available, it has been estimated that
approximately 50 of a $3,000,000 assessment roll would be assessed to senior
citizens/homestead properties.
If all of these assessments (constructed in 1975) were to be deferred, the
total economic impact on the City would be as follows:
5% of $3,000,000 = $150,000
Estimated principal per year $10,000
Estimated Interest per year 10,000
Total estimated revenue lost 20,000
Using the above $20,000 estimated figure, the cumulative effect on debt service
cash flow over a five year period could be approximately $100,000.
HARDSHIP ELIGIBILITY
—1 The State Law provides for deferral in cases of hardship but does not define
hardship. Each unit of government can establish criteria by which hardship
may be determined.
M. 6 C. No. 75-83 - October 6, 1975 Page 4
If a parcel were assessed for new sidewalk, paving, curb and gutter, storm
sewer and alley paving, at one time the annual principal payment would be
approximately $75 per year (over a 20 year assessment). The interest payment
would be approximately $100 for the first year and decline thereafter.
Because it is unlikely that one parcel would.be assessed for all these improve-
ments at one time, the average principal and interest payment would be somewhat
less.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Due to the possiblssslgnificant impact of deferral of existing special assess-
ments upon the debt service cash flow and possible long-range implications,
it is not recommended that .existing specials be deferred.
After consideration of the impact of deferment of future special assessments,
the Council may wish to consider using a maximum household annual income of
$6,000.
Attached is draft resolution incorporating these recommendations and providing
for the administration of the program. Household income will be defined in the
same manner as used on the M-iSC State Tax Form for senior citizens.

CITY OF MOUND
Mound, Minnesota
Nov. 18, 1976
TO- Mr. Leonard L. Kopp, City Manager
IROM: Public Works Office
SUBJECT: Edgewater Drive
Following is a report on Edgewater Drive prompted by a resident's complaint as to
unsafe road conditions.
1. Edgewater Drive is approximately 2,100 feet long
2. Twelve to 16 feet wide
3. Passable hard blacktop surface
The Public Works Dept. is installing "Stop" signs on all intersecting streets and
this resident would like them removed and installed on Edgewater Dr., which is a
"Through" street. The "Stop" signs are placed on side intersecting streets so the
through traffic can flow uninterrupted.
If "Stop" signs are installed on a street designed for "Through" traffic, as a
speed control, our attorney has informed us that a citation issued for failure to
comply, could be defeated in court due to non-conformance to criteria for normal
suggested use of a "Stop" sign. References we use in our sign purposes is the
"Uniform Traffic Control Devices" published 1971 and the supplement dated 1973,
State of Minnesota.
As an alternative, we might suggest to Council that Edgewater Drive would be an
ideal street to build and maintain as a "One 'gay" traffic street, from east to
west. Designation of this as a "One Way" street, would eliminate the hazard of
observing traffic traveling in both directions.
The disadvantages of a "One Way" street would be:
1. Extended length of street, 2100 feet.
2. Only one intersecting street, Sandy Lane, to turn off on or traveling
to the end of the street, which is Fairview Lane.
3. The 30 feet of right-ofwiay is narrow and there is no way of obtaining
additional footage for right-of-way from abutting property.
We believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The suggested width of the
street would be 20 feet of blacktop plus concrete curb and gutter for a driving
width of 22 feet if we have the stipulation of "No Parking" on the street.

TO: Leonard Kopp - City Manager
FROM: Patrick S. Wilson - Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Traffic on Edgewater Drive
A recent request for a stop sign on Edgewater Drive in Mound to control speed has been
suggested. I do not concur with this request. Stop signs on thru streets generally
create more problems than they solve. Because of the fact that people had suggested
that the traffic on Edgewater Drive was in escess of the speed limit, a radar survey
was run during the week of November 11 through 17. That survey resulted in the
following information.
Forty;cars were checked on Edgewater at various times throughout the day. The average
speed was 19.25 miles per hour. The highest speed was 30 mph, the lowest speed was
10 mph': This would certainly be well within the limit of a residential street.
I would make the following suggestions to control traffic problems on Edgewater since
it is a narrow and congested street.
1. Make Edgewater from Arbor Lane to Fairview lane a one way street with the travel
going from east to west. Therefore you would not have to necessitate vehicles
driving up Edgewater as it is fairly hilly over half of its distance.
2. Make street improvements. Curb and gutter, of course, is a necessity to run
off the water. Also, while the curb and gutter is being installed the street
could possibly be designed with gentle slopes or curves and landscaping to make
it necessary for one to drive slowly through it. This street could be a neighbor-
hood street or boulevard, and I think a very scenic one if it was done properly.
I don't believe the added cost in putting gentle curves or slopes would be too
high if it was done along with the curb and gutter construction.
These suggestions would take some time. For a "stop -gap" measure I would recommend
a one-way concept be adopted as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
Patrick S. Wilson
Chief Of Police

Dear Mr. Kopp
Vith the start of the Fiscal Year 1977, we wish to advise you that
your allocation for Personnel and Administration funds has been
set at
The allocation for the State of Hinnesota, as received from the
Defense Civil Preparedness Agency, falls short of the total re—
quests from our participating subdivisions. We have again set
a uniform policy for distribution of funds.
The Defense Civil Preparedness Agency has introduced some new guid—
ance for spending under this urogram. Of your total allocation,
travel expenses may not exceed five percent, nor may expenses
classified "All `Other" exceed twelve percent. If your spending
cannot comply with these guidelines, please forward a letter of ex—
planation and justification to our office through your regional
Director.
The first quarter of Fiscal Year 1977 ends December 31, 1976. Bill—
ings that are not received by your Regional Director's office with—
in fifteen dads of the end of the quarter for which the expenses
were paid will not be matched.
Sincerely,
Wes Lane
Director
