SUBJECT: 24 Hour Parking Lot
One of the Councilmen received a call that the Police had been asking
Hess not to park his wrecker on the lot by Auditor's Road.
A copy of the report from Sergeant Roth who made the contact is quoted
below:
"12-26-78. I checked with Chuck Hess, regarding which vehicles
still parked on the City lot were theirs. He pointed out two
pickups and one of their wreckers. I advised him to move the
pickups and put them somewhere on his property and then he
informed me that the wrecker was going to be brought inside
for repairs so that it could be used on ice jobs. I then
told Chuck Hess that I would check on the other vehicles and
get them taken care of."
The wrecker referred to was a wrecker that was not operating and had
been stored on the lot for some time.
This is given for information should other Councilmen be contacted.

Flsshin9 lights on Crosswalk signs
In November you asked that I check with the County on havin9 flashers attached
to the crosswalk signs in the C.B.D. area.
I called the County and talked to Mr. Wayne Matsumoto who referred me to Dennis
Hanson. I believe by your letter this is the same person you talked to. I was
told he was busy and would call back.
On December lb, 1978 Mr. Matsumoto called me back and we had a long discussion
on the ' ~'
subjeoo.
The County's first question about it was "how distracting will the flashers be?"
They do not like to put them within 200' to 300' of a signal light. It is their
feeling that people see them out of the corner of their eye and may pull out
thinking the light has changed. Also accidents have happened where people see
them blink when not really paying attention to the crosswalk and slam on their
brakes stopping in front of another car.
Spring Park had theirs installed by Council resolution after a couple of people
had been hit in the crosswalk. Mr. Matsumoto stated that the flashers are
installed by the County and maintained by them and the Ci'ty pays the electric
bills.
He also stated that the flashers do have an effect for a short time and then
people tend to pay as much attention as they used to do to the signs alone.
/Z
SUB3ECT: Flashing lights on Crosswa'lk signs Page 9
Mos% of our crosswalks have one sign mounted on s light pole which could be
used for power and the sign on the opposite side of the street will need to
have power dug into it. If we use their criteria for distance I feel our
idea would fail us as the most highly traveled crosswalks are within 300'
of the signals. Thc only one that receives a lot of use and is more than 300'
away is thc Post Office.
I also feel that we will be defeating the pttrpos¢ of the flashers if the
crosswalk laws are not enforced. At the present time they are not~ which
creates the problem of drivers and pedestrians not carin9 about the crosswalks.
It may be a consideration for us to ask Mr. Matsu~oto or 1~. Hanson-l:,to meet
with myself and the businessman making this request and then have him attend a
council meeting with his report..

COMPLAINT
COUNT I
1. That on or about the first day of March, 1977, plaintiffs
James A. Miller and Lida L. Miller did enter into a certain
contract to purdhase the'follpwing described real property, to-
wit:
Lot 16, Block 7, Devon, according to the recorded plat
thereof situated in the County of Hennepin, State of
Minnesota.
2. That at said time, plaintiffs James A. Miller and Lida L.
Miller inquired of defendant Patricia L. Huesman as to whether
the subject property had any problem concerning~ among other things,
surface or ground water, and that said defendant Patricia L. Huesman
denied that any such problem existed.
3. That on or about the 27th day of April, 1977, plaintiffs
James A. Miller and Lida L. Miller paid good and valuable con-
sideration, and relying upon those representations set forth
above, among others, accepted a deed conveying the subject prop--
erty from Patricia L. Huesman to plaintiffs James A. Miller
Lida L. Miller.
-1-
4. That on or about the 26th day of May, 1978,.and June 24
and 25, 1978, and July 1, 1978, and at other'times to a greater
or lesser degree, plaintiffs James A. Miller and Lida L. Miller
did suffer losses due to the flooding of water on,' in, and around
said property.
S. That as a direct result of said flooding, plaintiffs
sustained losses to their personal property totalling $4,000.00.
6. That to correct the deficiencies in the property in order
to avoid further flooding, plaintiffs must install an Underfloor
drain tile' system at a cost °f $2,2.05.00.
?. That based upon the facts set forth above, it.is alleged
that defendant Patricia L. Huesman did fraudulently misrepresent
the condition'of the subject property, all. to the detriment of
the plaintiffs.
COUNT II
1. Plaintiffs James A. and Lida L. Miller, for their cause
of action against defendant City of Mound, re-allege paragraphs
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
2. That repeated requests during the~summer of 1977 and spring
and summer of 1978 were ma~e to officials of the City of Mound to
regrade the public streets of Island View Drive in Devon, in order
to help cure the flooding problem referred to in the foregoing
Complaint, and that said requests were essentially ignored.
3. That because of the City of Mound's failure to comply with
plaintiffs' requests to regrade the aforementioned streets at a
low relative cost to the City ~f Mound, the City of Mound has
negligently allowed water to pool at the intersection of Devon
and Island View Drive to such a degree as to cause this water
to flow into plaintiffs James A. and Lida L. Millers' driveway,
garage, and lo~er living area, causing extensive damage thereto.
lgHEREFORE, plaintiffs demand judgment against defendants and
each of them in the sum of Six Thousand Tt¢o Htindred and .F. ive.

Robert Sts., St. Paul, Minnesota. The starting times for the

The 208 Are~ide Plan/Development Guide for Water ..quality
Mana~ement~~ when adopted by the MetroPolitan Council, will
sup~rsede" the Council' s present Waste Management Development
Guide/Policy Plan.. The new regional plan Will also fulfill
federal requirements as the Region's water quality plan under
Section 208 of Public Law 92-500. Its adoption will culminate
a two-year planning effort by the Council in water quality
management.
This-public hearing draft incorporates substantial changes in
several policy areas as a result of comments made at public
meetings held in September
The draft plan contains five major sectiOns. The issues and
policies section sets the direction for improving the Area's
water and achieving the goals of the Council's Development
Framework, or "guided growth" plan. The system plan background
section summarizes the technical information used in preparing
the system plan. The system plan section identifies the needs
for wastewater facilities and proposals for meeting those needs.
Another major section identifies agencies responsible for imple-
menting the water quality management plan and the programs they
should follow. The last major section is an assessment of the
plan's impact on the environmental' and socio-economic conditions
in the Metropolitan Area.
Those people interested in speaking at the public hearing are
Page 2
encouraged to register in advance by contacting Mike Kuehn of
the Council staff at 291-6482. We anticipate that many people
