It is the ooinion of the Public Works Department that Drury Lane from Gordon
Road to Tuxedo Blvd. should be No Parking on both sides as stated in Ordinance
341 - 11/5/75.
Visibility is limited by the steepness of the grade up to Gordon Road. Two
residents have to back out onto Drury below the breaking point of the hill.
Three, residents must use an alley coming on to Drury with a limited turning
radius which would be nearly impossible if cars were to park near it on Drury
Lane.

Norman A. Rice
4974 Brunswick Road
Mound, ~m. 55364
I recently received a notice of hearing on proposed assess-
ment. This is my signed written objection.
On September 25, 1980, I received a letter stating that
there were 6 Dutch elm trees cut down in 1978 and the City was
unable to collect $555.50 from the former owner. This was the
first I had heard of any trees or bill~ I returned to Mound
(I was out of town 13-28 September) and began to research the
situation the week of 29 Sept-3 Oct. I saw one bill at City Hall
that was sent to Richard Bischke (former owner) on May 22, 1978.
The trees were cut on April 12, 1978. I was told by the City
that there were "more bills sent", but I only saw one bill myself.
~r. Bischke owned the house until March 23, 1979. And
~r. Bischke obviously knew about these trees and the bill he owed.
From the time when the trees were cut, there were more than 11
months that ~. Bischke owned the house -- with "bills sent",
I am told. It seems the City originally decided to do business
with Mr. Bischke on a personal basis, sending him a personal
bill on May 22, 1978. And "more bills sent", I am told. The
City never had Mr. Bischke sign a waiver so it could be
assessed to the property. And now you want to assess me!l!!!
If "more bills" were sent to the Bischke's, were they returned
to the City after March 23, 1979 (when I purchased the house)?
Last week the City told me they did not know where Mr. Bischke
is obviously they haven't known since March 23, 1979, a
year and a half ago. I give you ~Ar. Bischke's address (and I
gave it to the City on October 2, 1980).
Mr. Richard Bischke
2085 Ala Wai Blvd.
Twin Towers # 61
Honolulu, Hi. 96815
I have been told that he is moving (somewhere in Hawaii) around
October 12, 1980.
My contention is that you did the tree-cutting for
Bischke as a personal bill -- not a pending assessment. Yes,
a personal bill, just the same as NSP, Minnegasco, and
Blackowiak & Son deal with me. I do not pass these on to the
next owner. You did not get a waiver from ~4r. Bischke to assess
the tree-cutting, therefore you are dealing with Mr. Bischke
personally! Not Norman A. Rice, 4974 Brunswick Road.
Page 2 of 2
Objection,
Prop. ID # 24-117-24 41 0146
This would have been cleared up if you originally would
have had the waiver signed, because my purchase contract said
the seller would pay all Special Assessments at closing,
~arch 23, 1979. So, let's not penalize Norman A. Rice for the
way Mound was dealing personally with Mr. Bischke. Had you done
the assessment (with waiver) correctly before tree removal, this
would have been entirely cleared up at closing. Bischke would
have paid the assessment. But, ~ound wanted it a personal bill
between Mound and Mr. Bischke. Let's keep it that way.
The solution: collect the bill from Mr. Bischke. Or, let
the City absorb the cost. It should not be levied against
Norman A. Rice/4974 Brunswick Road.
Sincerely,
Norman A. Rice

URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY FISCAL YEAR 1980
AND 1981 EXPENDITURE GOALS
Urban Hennepin County, in cooperation with HUD, established an annual CDBG
expenditure goal of $4,000,000 for fiscal year 1980 (October l, 1979, through
September 30, 1980). In closing the year, we are elated to announce the Urban
County has come within one percent of meeting this goal.
The effort put forth by each participating community in assisting to meet this
challenge is highly commended, especially those con~nuni ti es which increased
their drawdown rate to at least sixty percent. We are confident that this
level of efficiency in program management will continue. Below is the quarterly
breakdown of the annual expenditure goals and actual achievements:
Actual
Quarter Goal Expenditure
1. October, 1979, through December, 1979 $ 400,000 $ 589,294
2. January, 1980, through March, 1980
3. April, 1980, through June, 1980
400,000 621,439
1,200,000 1,102,655
4. July, 1980, through September, 1980
2,000,000 1,645,452
TOTAL
$4,000,000 $3,958,840
During October, the Urban County and HUD will be negotiating a new CDBG ex-
penditure goal for fiscal year 1981 (October 1, 1980, through September 30,
1981). It is anticipated that the new goal will be set at approximately $4.4
million. Final confirmation of the established goal and quarterly breakdowns
will be forthcoming..
Although we have completed the 1980 fiscal year, we are already into another
with an even greater expenditure goal. If we are to meet this challenge, the
Urban County must increase its overall expenditure rate. Therefore, by the
end.of fiscal year 1981, all CDBG projects in entitlement years II through IV
must be completed. Funds in those program years not expended by September of
1981 may be reallocated to other projects within the planning area. It is felt
this procedure will increase the drawn down rate while also making more effi-
cient and expedient use of CDBG funds.
If you should have questions, please do not hesitate to contact your planning
area representative.

The Honorable Tim Lovaasen
Mayor, City of Mound
5341Maywood Road
Mound, Minnesota 55364
Dear Mayor Lovaasen:
Thank you for your recent communication regarding Revenue
Sharing. I certainly appreciate your taking the time to share your
views wi th me.
As you know, the General Revenue Sharing Program, established
under the authority of the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of
1972, is scheduled to expire at the end of this fiscal year. However, on
September 4, 1980 the House Committee on Government Operations reported
the General Revenue Sharing Reauthorization Bill. This legislation, as
reported by the committee, would extend the Local Revenue Sharing Program
for an additional three years at a funding level of $4.6 billion a year,
retain its entitlement status, eliminate the state share, and continue
the existing distribution formula which takes into account a locality's
population, per capita income, and tax effort.
I am a strong believer that the General Revenue Sharing Program
has been an important tool in stabalizing local budgets, and feel that local
officials should be commended for the manner in which they have managed these
funds. Local communities, in particular, have benefited from revenue sharing
and therefore, I will be pleased to do whatever I can to see that the program
is continued.
As a former member of the Minnesota State Legislature, I realize
how important Revenue Sharing is to local governments. Therefore, when
this bill comes before the floor of the House on Tuesday, September 30th,
you may be assured that I will support H.R. 7112.
If you have further thoughts or con~nents you would like to share
with me, please feel free to contact me again.
Si ncerely,
Tom Hagedo~n

Dear Sir,
Some weeks ago, I talked to you concerning a tree on my property
that was ruined by one of the contractors doing some of the street,curb
and gutter work in Mound, Mn. You suggested that I get some prices from
some nurseries for replacement of this tree. Also that I identify the
contractor, date and work being accomplished at the time the damage was
done.
On Tuesday, Aug.5, 1980, the G & L Contracting firm of Hopkins
was operating an FMC Scoop digging our rocks etc in the street. They
backed the scoop againest the tree ( 12 to 15 ft blue Spruce)which
stands five feet plus back from the house side of the curb. They worked
at this spot for some time, permitting the exhaust to burn one side of
the tree. This has completely destroyed the shape of the tree and
l~terally destroyed its value.
I got prices from three reputable nurseries for cost of replacement,
Halla Nursery, Minnesota Tree and Natural Green. Prices ranged from a
low of $600.00 plus tax to $1002.50 plus tax.
I would like the tree replaced, or a cash settlement so that I could
replace it at my convenience when the street, curb, etc. work is completed.
Sincerely yours,
Albert R. (Joe) Swanson

Dear Mary,
The following are three parcels on the 1979 assessment roll
that need to be corrected. P.I.D. #25-117-24 1! 0122 in the
amount of $558.00 and P.I.D. #30-117-23 22 0063 in the amount of
$837.00 should be eliminated completely from the roll. They both
fall under policy #11 whereas they front on a 12' wide access
used only for City purposes.
P.I.D. #19-117-23 33 0143 should have the area reduced by
$2,986 sq. ft. and the footage by 10.84 lineal feet. This will
reduce the total assessment against this parcel by $477.80 and
give a new total of $5,140.13.
With these corrections the total assessment roll will be
reduced by $1,872.80. If you need any further information

I'm writing to you in response to your letter of September

your footage it was calculated from this point to your westerly
property line. This measurement.of 25 feet was taken at the
new curb line and not along the property line which is the
normal procedure. If this dimension had been used, the footage
assessment would have been for 35 feet. The remaining amount of
the assessment is for the extra driveway apron over 12 feet.
The following is the breakdown of your assessment.

then notify you directly before October 1, 1980.
We carefully evaluated every application to verify compliance
with the requirements of 10 CFR 450, 455 and the Minnesota State

on. The following persons offered comments or questions: David Ziskin, 4801
Island View objected to the front footage charge on a street that provides access
to a lift station. Ernie Johnson, 4651 Manchester objected to a possible overcharge
on a driveway. Dennis Dahlen, attorney representing Ronald Johnson, 4416 Dorchester
objected to the assessment charged to his clients property since the property does
not have frontage on any street and the improvement did not increase the property
by the amount of assessment. D. A. VanPole, 4704 Gordon objected to the assessment
on a 28 foot road that afforded the abutting property owners no parking. The

115
Genevieve Winnie, 2~ iftwood asked for a clarification of amounts for unit
assessments and front footage charges. George Miles, 2893 Cambridge explained
that he had a fifteen foot s~r~¢t without curb, gu er or re ainin w ll .
Council explained that a 40 foot minimum front footage charge was assessed.
Jerry Olson, 4873 Cumberland inquired about payment to workers on the construction
that were not working. Ed Hasek, 4853 Plymouth Road stated that 150% escrow
amount set aside for the assessment on his property did not cover the proposed
assessment. He asked why the estimates were not raised accordingly when the
estimates were found to be low. Jim Bedell, 2625 Wilshire Blvd. asked about a
vacated street adjoining property he formerly owned. Since he has sold the
property the street was vacated and added to the assessment roll. The attorney
advised Mr. Bedell that this was a matter to be settled between himself and the
buyer of the property. Judy Zimmerman, 1742 Heron stated that the City should
have notified the people affected by the assessment of the increase. She also
asked about how driveways were assessed. George Wallin, 2868 Marlboro asked
what material cost were in the original estimate in relation to the bid received.
Greg Warren, 2935 Devon asked if the assessments could be reduced. Mary Greshowak,
2868 Marlboro asked if additional work was added and if the contractors made a
high percentage of profit. Dave Griffin, 4434 Dorchester asked who pays for
maintenance of retaining walls. Grant O'Hair, 4725 Richmond questioned the square
footage charge since he feels his property is properly drained already. Elsie
Wigand, 4754 Hampton asked about replacement of hedges and bushes. Steve Erickson,
4441 Lamberton asked if the Council knew a year ago that construction would be
25% over the estimate. Jan VanHauer, 4708 Island View asked if the future pro-
jects went over estimate would the Council notify those to be assessed. Peggy
Hale, 4645 Manchester stated that the estimate was too high and in purchasing the
property not enough was escrowed to cover the assessment. Tony Case, 3043

Seventy percent of the cost is assessed on the basis of the number of
parking spaces required per property, which in turn is based on the number of
employees and the factor of one parking space required for every 300 square feet
of building. Fifteen percent of the cost is assessed on the market value of the
property and the remaining fifteen percent on the footage. Ail of these items
except market value are weighed by a distance factor as follows:
Property adjacent to parking lot - distance factor =

Dear Mr. Kopp,
Enclosed are 4 waivers signed by the property owners
between Manchester and Cumberland for the connections of their
sump pumps to the storm sewer. The other two owners will make
the connection themselves.
The cost for these connecting lines is to be added to the
assessment roll for the four individual properties. This amount
is $150.00 each. The following are the four P.I.D. numbers
affected-.
19-117-23 32 0078
19-117-23 32 0079
19-117-23 32 0080

This charge will increase the total assessment roll by $600.00.

Dear Mr. Kopp:
Due to a discrepancy in the measurement of a driveway,
P.I.D. #19-117-23 34 0093 was charged for 2.2 lineal feet
extra. $13.20 should be removed from the proposed assess-
ment for this parcel, to give a new total of $5,845.72.
This would also reduce the total assessment roll by $13.20.

Dear Mr. Kopp:
We have received a number of request forms for combining
lots into one parcel which will reduce the total assessment for
subject parcels. The following is a list of these changes. I
assume that when the roll goes to the County it will have to
list the existing P.I.D. numbers, since we don't have the new
ones at this time.

With the combination of these two parcels, the new parcel
would front on three streets, therefore an additional savings
would be credited. The total frontage would be reduced from 270
lineal feet as shown on the roll to 190.5 lineal feet, or a
reduction of $887.22. I have split this frontage between the
two existing parcels, as best I could.

We used the information from the original plat and ran this
through the computer, which gave us an area of 25,062 square feet.
This was reduced to 25,000 square feet on the assessment roll
according to the policy adopted by the City Council. The plat
also shows a front footage of 92.75 feet plus 7.4 feet on Lot 1
and an additional 6 feet of Lot 2, for a total of 106.15 feet for
this parcel. This was rounded off to 106.2 feet for the assess-

Dear Mary,
The following are three parcels on the 1979 assessment roll

amount of $558.00 and P.I.D. #30-117-23 22 0063 in the amount of

fall under policy #11 whereas they front on a 12' wide access
used only for City purposes.
P.I.D. #19-117-23 33 0143 should have the area reduced by
$2,986 sq. ft. and the footage by 10.84 lineal feet. This will
reduce the total assessment against this parcel by $477.80 and
give a new total of $5,140.13.
With these corrections the total assessment roll will be
reduced by $1,872.80. If you need any further information

Dear Ms. Marske,
I have received two more request forms for combining lots
into one parcel which will reduce the total assessment for sub-
ject parcels. The one submitted by Buzz Sycks for Lots 1, 2, &
3, Block 16, Avalon will not affect the unit charge portion of
his assessment. These lots were only charged 1/3 of a unit per
lot for a total of 1 unit on the original assessment roll. The
combination will change the footage charge since it makes the
new total footage 13.6 lineal feet over the 250 foot maximum.
The other combination by Mr. Jarl will remove 1 unit from
his total assessment. The following shows the new totals for
both combinations:

Cumberland Road Vacation
Job #4213
Dear Mr. Kopp:
The Council has directed us to prepare a recommendation as to whether or
not that portion of Cumberland Road lying northerly of a line one foot north of
the north curb between Stratford and Essex should be vacated.
When this portion of Cumberland was built in the 1979 Street Improvement
program, right-of-way was acquired on the south side of the street primarily to
facilitate the sewer construction, and to keep the backslope of the street off
the properties to the north.
Since the project has begun, we have had numerous discussions with the
property owners to the north. As shown on the attached sketch, the owners of
Lots 22 through 26 would like f111 placed on their lots so that they can
construct garages. When this fill is placed, the yards will generally drain to
the east between the houses and garages and in order to keep the drainage away
from the houses, the garages have to be placed approximately where shown. If
the garages are to be built where shown, either a setback variance will be
needed for each one or a portion of the street must be vacated.
We recommend that the street be vacated from one foot behind the north curb
to the north right-of-way. This will leave the City with a 30 foot
right-of-way, which is the same as all the other streets in the area. A per-
manent easement for storm sewer must be retained adjacent to Lots 25, 26, and
27. The variance procedure in this case could be very cumbersome, since some
off the property owners do not intend to build their garage right away and would
have to come back to the Council to get another variance if they don't build
within a year.

The attached plan also shows a 6 inch drain system connecting to the storm
sewer. All of the houses shown have basement pumps which discharge behind the
houses. With the drainage being carried closer to the houses because of the
fill, the homeowners feel [hat this drainage system, which is designed to pick
up the flow from the basement pumps is necessary if their back yards are to
stay dry. The drainage system will cost $3,100 (Cost is based on Hardrives
doint the work on a change order basis). Does the Clty wish to go ahead with
this drainage system. If so, the property owners will want to know how it will
be paid for.

Dear Ms. Marske,
The property owners on Drummond east of Tuxedo have petitioned the City to
narow the street from the planned 24 feet to 22 feet.
I have reveiwed this request and met with some of the people. We recommend
that this street be narrowed to 22 feet for the following reasons:
1) It is a short deadend road
2) By narrowing the street to 22 feet a flower garden would be saved.
chain link fence would not have to be moved. A hedge would be saved and it
would decrease the trimming NSP would have to do in conjunction with moving
their power poles.

At the time the land was rezoned, it was thought the City held this lot
tax forfeit. In checking, it was found the City owned the land outright.
The Assessor appraised the lot at $1,000.O0. The Attorney suggested
this be sold on a quit claim deed.
Inasmuch as the Council requested the Rines purchase the lot for parking

Reference is made to your telephone conversation of September 15,
1980 regarding the decrease in revenue if the City were to base
both second and third quarter sewer rates on first quarter water
usage. The present policy is to base third quarter sewer rates on
first quarter water usage.
Historical water usage records for Mound are very poor, thus we
are unable to determine quarterly consumption figures. Normal
municipal water consumption on a quarterly basis, however, is as
follows:
First Quarter 20%
Second Quarter 25%
Third Quarter 30%
Fourth Quarter 25%
On the average, the third quarter water usage is 30% of the annual
water usage and the second quarter is 25% of the annual water
usage.
If the City were to implement a two quarter summer sewer rate
schedule and assuming that the above referenced quarterly
consumption split is valid, the following weighted usage would
occur:
Existing
Proposed
First Quarter
Second Quarter
Third Quarter
Fourth Quarter
20% 20%
25% 20%
20% 20%
25% 25%
This indicates that the decrease in revenue would approximate 6%
if the City were to implement a two quarter summer sewer rate schedule.
Mr. Leonard Kop?

Based on a total sewer revenue of $371,000, the 6% would represent
$22,500.

Mound, Minnesota 55364
Dear Councilmembers:
We are currently planning our fall and winter work program and would appreciate
an indication that we may be invited to conduct the 1980 audit of the City as we
have in past years.
We would perform an audit of the balance sheets of the various funds of the City
as of December 31, 1980, and the related financial statements for the year then
ended. The audit would be performed in accordance with the procedures established
by the State Auditor and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
These procedures are compatible with the pronouncements of the National Council
on Governmental Accounting.
The audit which we would perform would include tests, rather than a detailed
examination, of all transactions and, therefore, it should not be considered that
irregularities, if any, will necessarily be disclosed. However, they may be
disclosed as the result of one or more of our audit procedures.
As in previous years, we plan to do as much work before the year end as possible
so that we may present our report at an early date.
We estimate the cost of such an audit will not exceed a range of $6,300 to $6,600.
Should our time be less than anticipated, our fee would be reduced accordingly.
We have enjoyed our relationship with the City during the past years and hope
that we may be allowed to conduct the 1980 audit.

Dear Ms. Marske:
The proposed policy for sale and conveyance of tax forfeited land to
governmental subdivisions, as outlined in my letter of June 20, 1980, has
not yet been finalized. However, progress is being made that will satisfy
county concerns, and at the same time respond to the principal concerns
expressed by many of the cities.
To ensure a mutual exchange of views, county staff recently ~et wit~
representatives of Mound, Minnetonka, Minnetrista, Orono, Medina, Brooklyn
Center and the Northwest Hennepin League of Municipalities and discussed the
issues involved. After participation in these d~scussion$ and reviewing the
responses and comments which were submitted, we agree that the cities and
governmental subdi¥tsions do have legitimate concerns that should be addressed.
As originally proposed, the policy would have restricted free conveyance of
tax forfeited land. The feedback received through correspondance from some
municipalities, and from those in attendance at the aforementioned meeting
vividly emphasize this as being the most objectionable feature in the policy.
It was suggested that a joint city-county ad hoc committee be formed to work out
the details of a policy which will be acceptable to all concerned. The committee
will determine feasible criteria on such things as appraised Yalue, use or public
benefit whereby certain tax forfeited land would be conveyed free of charge upon
request, etc. Secondly, they will look at the need for new legislation which
may be desirable to provide flexibility in forfeited land procedures. Municipal
representatives who have agreed to serve on the committee with us are:
Don Asmus, Director of Engineering, Minnetonka
Eric Sorenson, City Administrator, Minnetrista
Leonard Kopp, City Manager, Mound
Richard Schieffer, Attorney for Cities of Medina, Independence and

Since the Commissioner of Revenue has significant responsibilities in the
administration of tax forfeited land on a statewide basis, I have requested
that he review the original proposed policy. The Department of'Revenue is
presently conducting a survey of procedures and policies used in other counties
in the state and will make their findings and recommendations available to us.
If you have further concerns about this matter, please feel free to contact
members of the committee or myself at any time.
I want to reassure you that after all data has been evaluated, a revised tax
forfeited land policy will be mailed to you well in advance of County Board
consideration of this matter.
Your continued cooperation and assistance is appreciated.

Institutional Building Grants Program (IBGP)
Due to the State budget deficit, the Minnesota Energy Agency (MEA) has announced a cut
of six hundred twenty thousand dollars ($620,000.00) from the Institutional Building
Grants Program. The State Advisory Committee met September 9th to provide the Energy
Agency with recommendations for allocating grant funds. From those recommendations,
the Minnesota Energy Agency has indicated they will allocate grant funds for mini and
maxi-audits in the following manner:
1. Those who submitted Mini-Audit application/grant agreements before June 30, 1980
will receive 100% funding of incurred costs for audits on designated buildings
within the funding limits and guidelines.
2. Those who submitted Maxi-Audit application/grant agreements before.July 9, 1980
for 100% State funding of Maxi-Audits contracted before January 1, 1980 will,
receive the funding they requested if it is within the allowable cost limits
set up for the program.
3. Those who submitted Maxi-Audit application/grant agreements before July 9, 1980
for 50% match with the Federal Technical Assistance application (EIA-145) and
were granted money by the U.S. Department of Energy will receive the 50% match
requested.
4. Those who submitted Maxi-Audit application/grant agreements before July 9, 1980
and do not fall under provisions of 2 or 3 above, can receive 70% State funding
within allowable limits. If your institution falls within this category and you
are unable or unwilling to cover the remaining 30% of the cost, you must notify
the MEA in writing by November 1, 1980 that this is the case so that we may be
legally absolved from that obligation and funds may be reappropriated to the
remaining institutions.
5. If your institution received notice that you are required to do a Mini-Audit,
Maxi-Audit, or both for specific buildings owned by your institution, you will
receive 100% of the cost incurred for those audits within the allowable limits
set up for the program. Applications may be obtained by contacting the Minnesota
Energy Agency.
If you have any questions, please call the IBGP information line at the Minnesota Energy
Agency (612) 297-2103 or Gary Grufman, League Energy Specialist at (612) 222-2861.

This is a short memo to invite your consideration of the subject of
scheduling neighborhood softball fields. I make some brief points to
suggest that it is necessary to begin the'discussion at this time prior
to next summer activities.
NEW FACTS TO CONSIDER:
Complaints from the Brockton neighborhood regarding outsiders using the
ball diamonds every evening and weekends, The resulting loss for
the local kids as well as the beer cans and debris caused concern.
NEW, high quality fields in three parks - Island Park, Three Points,
and Brockton. The increasing demand by all ages and both sexes for
playing diamonds. Even the Little League with two baseball diamonds
and the use of the Spring Park field is inadequate to serve the 14
teams for games and practices.
The need to schedule specific times of existing school fields, and not
just blocks of time, to accommodate the maximum number of users.
The obvious overflow to the neighborhood fields in the event the school
field times do not offer the convenience or flexibility desired by the
different groups.
The reasonable reservation of local fields for the neighborhood folks,
young and adults, to use for pickup games, recreational family games
(family picnics in the neighborhood homes) and acceptable level of use
by outsiders.
This concept is used successfully in most other areas, and still pro-
vides for that pickup game that is spontaneous.and short lived. Sched-
uling does not eliminate the pickup game but takes the.~conflict out of
confrontations occuring because no one has a right to arrange for a
time to play. This includes the 1--ocal' person living across the street
or down the block from the park. It really provides an unfair oppor-
tunity for the uniformed ~eam, large in numbers, to intimidate others
less organized.
Football Fields, page 2.
Parks are of the most value to all the public when they feel confident that the
scheduled activity will take place without the hassle of being intimidated be-
fore, during, or after their social-recreational activity takes place.
There needs to be some rules that provide for effective scheduling for all types
of games that will take pl'6ce on these diamonds. This should include limits on
starting and finishing times, tournaments, debris removal costs, illegal activi-
ties, and parking regulations. This should tend to eliminate calls to the police
officers to deal with park problems once the scheduling is effectively in place.
I stand ready to talk about the merits and probems of such a system and share
the experiences of scheduling the school fields for the past two years. If you'd
~ike me to attend a meeting, just call with the date and if possible I'll be
there.

RE:
Local Government Day, October 21, 1980
This mailing includes some material to help you round out your plans for
celebrating Local Government Day. Included are:
A copy of Governor Quie's Proclamation to display in city hall or at
some prominent place, or in conjunction with a luncheon or program.
The Proclamation can be used as a model for preparing a Mayor's
Proclamation recognizing the day.
Six copies of a brochure with a suggested theme, or emphasis, which can
be used for display, enlarged, if desired, or reproduced in larger quantities
to hand out at an open house, for example. There is a possibility that the
League could send more copies if requests are received before October 10.
A sample press release which needs to be adapted to your local plans and
activities. Publicity by the various media sources is vital to the success
of your program.
4. A review of suggested activities for Local Government Day.
Good luck in your endeavors. Have someone take notes and pictures to send to
the League office so we can report on your observance of the Day. If you have
questions or need assistance, please call the League office.

A Review of Activities for Local Government Day
As you may have noticed in discussing plans for observing Local Government Day,
most of the activities that can be planned are free or with a nominal cost.
Surprisingly, these events probably have the most value in attracting publicity
and in reaching numbers of your citizens.
Consider these possibilities:
1. Dedication of a new building, park or development area.
An open house at city hall. Several activities can be included under this
general plan: tours of city hall, wastewater plant, fire hall; exhibits of
new equipment, demonstrations of a new computer (for instance) or voting
machines; a program recognizing the service of long-time city employees;
recognition of citizen volunteers on planning commissions and other committees.
The occasion could be made more gala by serving refreshments (possibly donated
by some local group) or the giving of a souvenir, something specifically
meaningful in your community (like a piece of taconite on the Iron Range, for
example).
Swapping roles. There are several variations on this activity: The mayor can
exchange 'his p'osition for a day with a mayor from a nearby city; the mayor and
council can swap jobs with community leaders; high school students can become
the "council for a day" (St. Cloud is planning to do so) - this can be a
learning experience if the students develop their own agenda in class.
o
Speaking by city officials. The mayor and council would want to discuss and
prepare materi~i for various projects, programs, or developments to present to
various community groups. You could speak at luncheon meetings of service
clubs; at meetings of the League of Women Voters, garden club, college groups;
at school assemblies. You could also get a spot on a local radio or TV program
or have a council meeting broadcast on cable TV.
If you have a community college, voc-tech school, or state university in your
area, you would want to involve it in any plans you make. Students could be
helpful in carrying out your ideas with graphics and other publicity materials.
A way to spread the word about any program you have planned or abmut city services
in general is to stuff it in with utility bills. You can reach most of your con-
stituents this way.
You will probably think of other ways to celebrate - like painting your watertower
or something especially your own. Please let the League know what you do. The
League hopes you can find some appropriate way to observe the Day.
