Public Works is dumping the sweepings from the street cleaning on the lot,
but that consists only of dust and dirt. They use this lot to wash the
sweepers because it has two catch basins to collect the run off from the
cleaning. They clean the sweepers in the afternoon and return the next

LOT WIDTH
The City Manager explained that this item is being brought back to the
Council from the February 15th Meeting when it was .tabled in order to
give Mr. Veilleux and Mrs. George an opportunity to discuss the.placement
of a new home on Lot 6 that would'not be objectionable to Mrs. George.
Mrs. George, owner of Lot 7, Whipple Shores, was present and objected
to any home being built on this property'because it would not meet the
criteria in the Zoning Ordinance in lot width 60'. Also allowing the
di'vision of this property into two sites would make two non-conforming
parcels. She also objected because granting the variance would be
detrimental to the value of her property and when a home was built
it would block her view of the lake.
Councilmember Swenson stated that he didn't think the Council should
allow the varlance because we would be creating two non-conforming lots.
Mr. Veilleux was present stating that all the houses along Whipple Shores
are close together so'he would not be setting a precedent. He has
tried to accomodate Mrs. George by moving the proposed house back from
the lake as far as reasonably feasible.

CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY

WATER AND SEWER AVAILABILITY CHARGES
The City Manager explained that the City charges $125.00 each for water
and sewer availability per residence. These funds help cover future
maintenance costs and the Water and Sewer Dept.'s time in locating water
and sewer lines, etc. The MWCC charges a flat $425 per unit for the
Sewer Availability Charge (SAC). The question is when dealing wi'th a
multiple dwelling, such as an apartment building, do we charge by unit
or should we be charging by lot area or usage. The MWCC, on public
housing units, charges 75% of a unit for the SAC charge.
The Council indicated they would like to charge by the unit. They asked
the City Manager to write up a policy for these charges.

more light for 5.4 percent more in monthly cost. They would do this over
a 3-4 yea.r period. An initial payment of $5 per unit or $1865 total
'would be required for'the group replacement of these lights.

on this item because they could see no reason to change...

Street L.ighting Policies. He is recommending that we write a policy
based on Brooklyn Center's PoliCy. The Council agreed.

REQUES~ ~O~'EXTEN§ION - RESOLUTION #81-270 SUBDIVISION APPROVAL - RICHARD OLEXA
The ~ity Manager explained'that Mr'. Olexa is requesting an extension on
this subdivision approval because he failed to file it within the 1 year
time limit. Both the City Engineer and the City Attorney have questioned
this subdivision because it appears to be solely for creating ownership
of lake access, is not an appropriate use of the City's subdivision
ordinance and the parcel created would not meet zoni.ng code requirements.

the Council would have to hold another public hearing and amend the plan
already submitted.
He exPlained that there is IO% of the total money available for this type
of grant, but that there are 4 other day care centers in Mound that also
could request funding and that would make all the grants smaller.

Request: Conditional Use
Zoning District: B-1
Applicant:
John R. Drews
695 County Road 19
Mound, MN. 55364
Phone: 472-4733
The applicant is requesting to start a "$unlife of Mound" tanninq studio with
three tanning beds to start his business. He plans to add to the future business
some exercise equipment with possibly a sauna or spa at a later date. The present
plans only involve carpeting and painting the existing structure, placinq signage;
parking to remain as is. He will also run his electrical contracting business
from this location.
Pursuant to Section 23.625.2 Service Shops and Offices are a permitted use in the
B-1 Zoning District. Section 23.625.3 allows commercial recreation as a condition-
al use in the B-1 Zoning District. Section 23.302(23) defines Commercial Recre-
ation as "Recreational facilities such as bowling alleys, tennis courts, race
tracks, etc., constructed and operated for profit, by Private enterprise". Section
23.505.1(1-12) and 23.505.2(1-8) set up the criteria for qranting a conditional use
permit.
The Planner, Mark Koegler, and I feel that this type of operation depicts a Com-
mercial Recreation type use of the property and does require a conditional use be
granted. At the present time, I believe Mr. Drews will not intensify the present
use of the property which is SOS Printing and Green-T Accounting. The present
structure has a 1,O22 square foot~ floor area with approximately 2 parkinq stalls
and no inter-circulation on the site. The survey indicates the building is en-
croaching onto Lot 36. The lot area is 2,966 square feetS. The three tanninq
beds which he proposes plus one employee would indicate a parking need of four
stalls±; office use would require 3 parking stalls. Attached is a parking a~ree-
ment and Resolution 78-221. The parking agreement should be transferred to the
new owner of the site and written out to address the property and not the owner.
The agreement should be approved by our City Attorney. A notice to patrons should
be posted noting the location of additional parking to the rear. He intends to
present signage concept for the building at the meeting.
Tentative public hearing date of April 19th at the City Council Meeting.

Case No. 83-120 Condit'ional Use Permit for 2337 Wilshire Boulevard
Lot 37, Block. 3, Shirley Hills Unit F.
John R. Drews was present.
The Building Inspector explained that Mr. Drews has bought and will be movin~ into
what is now SOS Printing. Asking for permit for.Commercial Recreational Use.
Plans for property use include 3 tanning beds and some exercise equipment. Office
use is-permitted and Mr. Drews would have his electrical business and some'storagq7-'
also in the building. Site has only 2 parking stalls(right in front). Tanning f', '
Studio would be.a 4 or 5 month winter operation and the electrical business tendsi
· to be a summer business. Mr. Drews does not plan to expand building size because
of the small lot.
Discussed some conditions of the Commercial Recreational Use: l) Proposed hours
would be from 6 A.M. to 10 P.M. (not later'than 10 P.'M.); 2) Have an attendant on
duty at all times; 3)"Would have 3 tanning beds; 4) Would have 2 pieces of exer-
cise equipment to start: A) Motorized Exercycle and B) Trotter tread mill; 5)
Parking needed would be approximately 6 parking spaces (5 customers and 1 atten-
dant); and 6) Applicant would come back to Planning Commission for any expansion
of this use (for added equipment, more'parking or any use at all).
Reese moved and Vargo seconded a motion to recommend approval of the condition,
use permit for 3 tanning beds'and 1 exercycle and 1 trotter tread mill .conditioned
upon the satisfactory approval of a parking agreement with the Legion by the City
Attorney for parking spaces (2 would be on-site and 4 off-site) and further to
allow the wall mounted sign. The vot~ was: Byrnes against, all others in favor.
Byrnes voted against as he feels use will grow and'he sees.a conflict with the
Legion.on parking and he al'so thinks the commercial recreational classification
· put on this may be asking for trouble, in the future; doesn't want City to get
into same problems as with.the Arcade.

Applicant:
Charles & Orlando Push
6201 Red Oak Road
Phone: 472-1585
The applicant is requesting to place 2 foot by 2 foot size signs along the public
right of ways in five locations, possibly, from Thursday morning to Saturday eve-
ning before 6:00 p.m. each week. She will be advertising for a home occupation
at 6201 Red Oak Road.
I have discussed the home occupation definition, Section 23.301(54) with her which
states, "Home occupations which shall be defined to mean any occupation or profes-
sion of a service character which is clearly secondary to the main use of the
structure as a one-family private dwelling and does not change the character there-
of. Any activity resulting in noise, fumes, traffic, light or odor to such an
extent that it is noticeable that the property is being used for non-residential·
purposes shall not constitute a home occupation. The use shall be confined to one
room within the principal structure; shall be engaged in only by persons residing
in the dwelling; and shall not have special parking, lighting, advertising, or
other facilities which would indicate its use for purposes other than a one-family,
private dwelling." This Zoning provision does not allow advertisinq to identify a
home occupation in a residential district. City Code Section 60.02(n) states, "The
erection and maintenance of any advertising sign or billboard along a public thorouqh-
fare or over a public walk or street without authority of the City"
It is difficult to have the applicant understand the City provisions as she has
stated she has been doing the sign advertising for some time.
1. The location of County Road 15 east of Northern Road is on a County road which
I explained would require Hennepin County Department of Transportation approval
or approval of the adjoining property owner.
2. County Road 15 and Southview Drive is approximately the same situation as Loca-
tion # 1. (Southview Drive is a 60 foot right-of-way.)
3. Clover Circle and $outhview Drive is a City right-of-way and park.
4. Clover Circle and Red Oak Road (60 foot right-of-ways). Applicant stated she
would try to obtain written permission from the property owner.
5. Red Oak and 6201 is placed on the applicant's property.

Request: Variance
Zoning District: R-2
Applicant:
Keith & Debi Kullberg
1736 Shorewood Lane
Phone: 472-5848/471-9663
The applicant has received variance apprOval in the past. Resolution 78-425 allowed
a foyer to be built on the non-conforming structure. Resolution 81-308 and the time
extension under Resolution 82-220 required the removal of the building from the
right-of-way. The setback, after removal would be 8 to 11 feet from the front prop-
erty line. The applicant is also requesting to sell Lot 21 which would require re-
locating his existing driveway to Lot 20. He intends to place an attached garage
over the existing foundation 8 to 11 feet from the front property line and be 2.5
feet to the side property line.
Pursuant to the R-2 Zoning District Section 23.605.1, single family homes are per-
mitted. Section 23.605.5 lot area required is 6,000 square feet. Lot 21 proposed
to be sold off is approximately 5900 square feet~ from the Mean High Water elevation;
the lot width and depth of the vacant lot meet the requirements.

The non-conformance of Lot 20 is
Recommend:
I would recommend denial of the garage addition to be added over the
existing foundation. Also, major building modification would be required
as the U.B.C. Section 1105 states "In areas where motor vehicles are
stored or operated, floor surfaces shall be noncombustible materials or
asphaltic paving materials." The present floor system is wood and the
possibility of maintaining a waterproof barrier to the living area be-
low is very difficult, even with precast concrete. Removal of the en-
croachment should still be accomplished.
I would recommend that.L~; 21 could be sold as a buildable site with the
lot area to be within 10% of the 6,000 square feet required. Al'so, it
will be difficult to place a structure on the property with the required
setbacks of a side yard of l0 feet, corner lots 20~to both Sunrise
Landing and Shorewood Lane, and a lakeshore setback of 50 feet. I would
recommend that the surveyor place the monuments, mark the possible
building site location, and elevations be marked as well as utilities
for Lot 21.
The abutting neighbors have been notified.

March 16, 1983
Dear Planning Commission and City Officials,
We are interested in possibly- selling Lot 21 which is currently part
of a parcel we bought 4~ years ago from Lew Dunham. The a~dress is
1736 Shorewood Lane, Mound; Lot 20 and 21, Block 4, Shadywood Point. In order
to conform to city code, we need to apply for a variance. We are in a 6,ooo
sq. ft. zoning area. According to Roy Hansen, our surveyor, Lot 21 falls
no more than 85sq. ft. short of the total area needed to deem this a "buildable"
lot. We have contacted the city offices and confirmed the fact that Mr. Dunham,
the original owner of Lot 20 and 21, had, in fact, been assessed for 2 sewer
services to the 2 lots years ago.
In addition, in order to get our current driveway of~ of Lot 21, we would
like to build a garage on top of our existing flat-top/car port roof (of which
is level with the road). We currently have a one year extension on a street
setback variance to remove part of this car port area and wall that sits too
close to the street. We would like permission to complete all of this work
at one time along with doing any necessary redesigning of the roof to give
the house a total "blending in" appearance. The garage would then line up with
our neighbors garage. Mr. Howard Schultz, our neighbor, has agree to this
idea and feels it would greatly contribute to amending this black, flat roof
that is currently an "eyesore."
We are currently getting plans draWn up from contractors for the desired
addition and can present ~. more detailed information at the Planning Commission
meeting.
~'~e thank you for your time and consideration concerning Lot 21 and the
building of a badly needed garage onto our existing structure on Lot 20.
Sincerely,
Keith and Debi Kullberg

Re: Garage variance application
for Keith and Debi Kullberg
Dear Planning Commission,
Our neighbors, Keith and Debi Xullberg~ave applied for
a variance to build a garage atop their black, Plat-topped
roof. We totally agree with this projeet as we feel it would
1)greatly improv~ this eyesore 2)add value to the neighboring
homes 3)come in line with the other properties in distance from
the city street.
We encourage you to work with them in recommending to the
city council a positive vote to built this badly needed garage.

Request: Variance
Zoning District: R-1
Applicant:
Valerie Swenson
2463 Black Lake Road
Spring Park, MN.
Phone: 471-9092
The applicant is proposing to add a 20 foot by 20 foot attached garage to the north-
east corner of the existing house and a 20 foot by 20 foot addition to the lakeside.
Pursuant to the R-1 Zoning District Section 23.604.2 single family homes are per-
mitted. Section 23.604.5 a lot area of 10,000 square feet, lot width of 60 feet,
and depth of 80 feet. Lot 2 has a width of approximately 33 feet at the buildinq
setback of 30 feet, lot area is approximately 8,884.3~ square feet, and lot depth
average is 214 feet. Pursuant to Section 23.604.5(2) a front yard of 30 feet, side-
yards of 10 feet and 6 feet for lots of record, and a lakeshore setback of 50 feet
to Mean High Water as per Section 23.408(7). The present structure has a front set-
back of 39 feet to 20.2 feet to the closest front property line, the side yards of
2.1 to 2.3 feet and 6.6 to 9 feet, and a lakeshore setback 150 feet plus. The lake-
side addition is proposed to be 3.8 feet from the east property line and 13 feet±
from the west property line. The street front garage is proposed to be 1.9 feet
to 19 feet from the property line with a side yard to remain at 2.1 feet.
The topography of this lot makes it difficult to place a garage attached or detached
from the present structure. The narrowness of the lot at the street side also makes
the garage placement difficult. The actual street curb line is plus 31 feet from
the proposed garage as Avon Drive at the northeast is a lake access unimproved.
Avon Drive paved street right-of-way curves away from the present structure. I have
not seen plans for the remodeling, but I do . believe the applicant intends a
second story over the garage. The lakeside addition requires only a side yard vari-
ance of 2.2 feet.
Recommend: I believe that the present structure should and will be remodeled along
with the proposed additions. The existing structure has several append-
ages now as well as roof lines. I would, however, recommend maintaining
the required side yard setback of 6. feet on the lakeside. The garage,
I would presume, if setback 6 feet on the east, would require more yard
excavation to place it. The front yard setback could be granted as the
narrowness of lot, topography, and the road right-of-way surface curving
away from the property poses undue hardship to the property owner.
The abutting neighbors have been notified.

Valerie Swenson was present..
The Building Inspector explained that the applicant today asked to be on this aqenda
instead of the April 25th agenda. They have a hand out of the revised site plan.
The proposed garage is relocated another 2 feet from side property line. The Chairman
asked how far proposed garage had been brought back from the right-of-way, if at all?
Not back from the right-of-way. Chairman asked applicant if this was their proposal
they wished considered. Applicant.agreed. Chairman asked if anyone wanted to act
on this with the information available to us.
Vargo moved to add.to the agenda. The motion was seconded by Reese. All in favor.
Vargo moved to deny the request. Motion was seconded by Reese. Vargo stated that
his feeling is that it is simply.too much construction for lot size and sees the
problem of this property utilizing all of the neighbor's green, space. Doesn't fe~.
this lot will accommodate in this manner this kind of construction.
The vote on the motion was unanimously in favor of the denial.
Reese asked if there could be some problems with the building p~rmit. The Buildinq
Inspector stated that the building would have to be brought into compliance. .The
owner has not suE~itted drawings to i~ndtc~te how much they intend to bring into
compliance with the Building Code.

Request: Variance
Zoning District: R-2
Jacci Segner
2260 Bayview Place
Spring Park
Phone: 471-0148
The applicant is requesting the split an existing two (2) lot parcel into
two (2) separate parcels with the lot area, width, and depth conforming to
the R-2 zoning district requirements of 6,000, 40 feet, and 80.feet minimums
respectively. The existing house on Lot 2 indicates an encroachment of
.2 feet (5 inches) onto the fire access lane to the east. Lot 2 indicates
an existing garage which she has agreed to remove from the site.
Pursuant to the R-2 zoning district the setback to the side yard for a "lot
of record" is 6 foot and 10 foot. Pumsuant to 23.407 "(1) No accessory building
or structure shall be constructed on any residential lot prior to the time of constructior
to which it is accessory. ,, The'slde yard setback variance of 6 ft. 5 inches
would be required for Lot 1. If the unimproved access lane was considered as
a public right-of-way, the structure would require a 20 foot setback. Pursuant
to the definition for an "al'ley- A public right-of-way which affords'a secondary means
of access to abutting property." As per the definition, I feel this is a secondary
access, if any, and should only comply with the side yard setback requirements not
the setback for a corner lot.
The"as-built" drawing attached indicates that the sewer service to LOt 1
is from the east side of Lot 2. The owner should field locate the service
a~d indicate it on the survey or be required to give the owner of Lot 1
an easement over that portion of Lot 2 to service the sewer line. The accessory
building demolition permit should be obtained with removal of the garage within
180 days. Two (2) off-street parking stalls should be provided for Lot 1. The
area of which should be 650 sq. ft. (stall~ of 10'X20' each) pursuant to section
23.716.5.

Case No. 83-121 Variance Request for 4574 Denbigh Road
Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Avalon
Jacci Segner was present.
The Building Inspector explained that both Lots 1 and 2'are legal lots as far as
width, depth and the area of them. The existing house on Lot 1 shows an encroach-
ment onto the 15 foot fire access lane. of about 5 inches. They have a purchaser
for Lot 1 and wish to divide the lots. They have agree~ to remove the garage from
Lot 2 and also they will have to relocate on-site parking on Lot 1 for the new
owner.
The Planning Commission discussed that fire accesses were rarely vacated and the
City Manager advised that unimproved Stratford (on north side of this property) i~.
mostly underwater and treated as commons with a number of people having docks there
so access needs to be retained. It was also noted that the deck variance approved
by Res. 81-309 was never used and no longer valid. It was questioned what is dif-
ferent from request in 19817 Same request. Discussed that most homes in immediate
area are located on double lots and that there is.serious topography problem which
limits the use of the lots; extremely hard to get'a garage on this site; would have
to do grading and build a retaining wall.
Reese moved and Byrnes seconded a motion to'approve the 6.2 foot variance for
the existing structure. The vote was M'ichael and Weiland against; all others
voted in favor. Motion carried.
Vargo moved 'and Reese seconded a motion to recommend denying the division. The
vote was. Michael, R~ese, Vargo and Weiland in favor of the denial; Byrnes, Je~,o~,,
and Mierzej'ewski voted against denying. Motion to deny car'ried 4 to 3. Reason
given by Chairman Weiland was Resolution 81-39 and topography makes placement of
structures very hard.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
Enclosed is a request from Buzz Sycks, President of the Streetcar Boat
Center, Inc. for an additional 60 day extension.
As you may recall this project is working under a 60 day extension and
prior to that had nearly of five month option.
I would strongly oppose the granting of another extension without requiring
a cash deposit of at least $1,000. Nowhere have I heard of a group requesting
an option on a piece of property the value of Lost Lake without putting down
an option payment.
The status of this development, I think, is very much up in the air. Not
one time have I or anyone in the community been given or shown any hard
evidence that this project has proceeded from its drawing stage of last
Fall.
A positive alternative would be to leave the land unoptioned and open for
bid. I think there may be a number of people who could have an interest
in the site. If along the way, the Streetcar Boat project gets its act
together and the City Council feels that is the best use of the land, then
you can approve an option agreement on the site.
I mention this because I think they have taken the City as being a soft
touch. For their option agreement with Tonka (a site half the size of the
City's), they have paid without any question $2500 twice and within the
next 45-60 days have another renewal option payment of $2500 due.
Clearly, I think the taxpayers deserve at least equal compensation.

Dear Mr. Mayor:
This letter is written to confirm our continuing interest in the purchase of the City

I am sure that you realize the multitude of meetings and intricate negotiations necessary
to put together a multi-million dollar center and, although we are proceeding well,
our plans are not yet complete.
We are, therefore, eompelled to ask you and the Couneil to grant to our group another
60-day option to puchase above-mentioned land from April 15th, termination date of
our present option.
Thank you for this eonsideraOon.

Dear Mr. Mayor:
Since my last correspondence with you, I have met with my associates in the Mound
Trolley Boat Center, Inc., and decided that the following action should be mutually
satisfactory to the council and our group:
1.) We enclose herewith, a check for $500 as a 60-day option payment.
2.)
This payment is to be deducted from the purchase price when our purchase
is completed (same as we have with Tonka Toys).
3.)
In the event that a Court case is necessary to clear title and the property
is awarded to the former owner, this option payment will be returned to
the Mound Trolley Boat Center, Inc.
4.)
If it is necessary to extend our option for additional periods, it is hoped
that this same formula will be applied.
Trusting that this meets with you and the Council's approval, I remain,

Attached is a letter from the PCA regarding "Open Burning". It discusses
appointing someone locally to be responsible for issuing Burn Permits
with PCA approval.
I would like to have Bob Cheney, Fire Chief, authorized to handle this
responsibility in the City.
JE:fc
cc: Bob Cheney
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
To Whom It May Concern:
Numerous inquiries regarding the delegation of authority to issue
open burning permits have been received by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency. This letter is intended to provide
information concerning delegation of that authority.
Open burning in the State of Minnesota is regulated under the
provisions of Minn. Rule APC 8 "Open Burning". In accordance
with section (f)(3) of the rule, a person or persons designated
by a county board of commissioners, or either a fire chief or a
person designated by a township or city, may accept applications
and issue open burning permits upon authorization by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
In order to receive this authorization, the governmental unit
must submit a written request to the Director, Division of Air
Quality, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, requesting the
authorization. As part of the formal request, a copy of the
meeting minutes indicating the motion passed to designate a
person (name and position) to be approved by the Director and a
copy of an ordinance adopting Minn. Rule APC 8 by the
governmental unit are also requested. In situations where the
governmental unit contracts for fire protection, a requirement of
the authorization will be that co-approval be received from the
fire authority prior to issuing any burning permit.
Governmental units desiring authorizaton to accept applications
and issue open burning permits or further information, are
requested to contact Mr. Raymond Bissonnette of the Division of
Air Quality in writing or call (612) 296-7300.

RE:
FINAL HARDRIVES PAYMENT & BARTLETT BLVD. REPORT
On the Agenda last month we had a recommendation to pay Hardrives, Inc.
$16,411.92, as a final payment for work performed in 1981 on Three Points
Blvd. and Tuxedo Blvd. This amount was the negotiated resolution of an
original bill they submitted, in the amount of $48,000.
It was felt by the City Attorney, City Engineer and myself that this is
a fair resolution of this matter and should be approved.
Unfortunately, a separate issue derailed this (that being Bartlett Blvd.)
and unless we act on this soon, the agreement being proposed might be
cancelled and we will be back at point A, and probably having to resolve
it in court.
Although I don't think any of us are looking the other way at the problem
on Bartlett Blvd., I think it's important we don't force a showdown where
it may not be reasonable to do so.
The Engineer will attend the meeting to present his report on the status
of Bartlett Blvd. and what he would recommend.

Dear Oon:
Enclosed is a copy of Payment Request No. 8 for the above projects. As you
will note, there is still a l~ retainage shown which will be paid to compeltely
final the projects after the repair work on Bartlett and Tuxedo is completed
early this summer.
The amount which we are recommending for payment is the result of a years
negotiating with Hardrives. They were initially asking for extra quantities of
blacktop and gravel in the amount of $48,099.60. This number has been reduced
down to $16,577.70 as a result of these extended negotiations. Basically,
Hardrives contended that much more material was used on the project than we
were willing to pay for. It is true that the material was used on the project;
however, with our inspectors' reports, project photos, and other data, we were
able to convince them that the material was actually wasted or used on other
parts of the project. We believe that the payment request recommended repre-
sents a fair finalization of this project. You will note that even with this
change, the total cost of both projects is only $6,964.67 over the already ap-
proved contract amount.
The following is a breakdown of the construction costs for both of these
projects:

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
As requested, we have completed an extensive evaluation of the condition of
the bituminous paving on Bartlett Boulevard. Braun Engineering Testing took
borings and did tests on the wear course. A copy of their report is attached
for your information. The asphalt content and aggregate gradation are both
within the recommended range to meet the Mn/DOT specifications. The moisture
content of the subgrade in Bartlett is high in the Glendale Road area. The ma-
terial in the Rubgrade is consistent with that in other areas of the job.
The problem area between Norwood Lane and Fernside Lane is in the two
joints. We would recommend the following:
/ 1. Approximately 200 feet of the north joint should be cut out and
patched. Also one larger area approximately 3' x 6' should be patched.
J 2. Remainder of the north joint and most of the south joint to be cleaned
and filled with joint sealer.
v/~3. Seal coat a minimum of 4 feet wide entire length of both joints from
Norwood Lane to Fernside Lane Station 19+75 to 24+75, which is 500 feet.
In addition to this work, a few small areas between Fernside Lane and
Fairview Lane need to be cut out and patched and with joint sealer applied in a
number of spots. These areas along with previous patches should be seal
coated. The section of Bartlett from Norwood Lane to County Road 15 is in good
condition and should not need any further work until it is seal coated in the
normal schedule.
From the letter submitted by Hardrives and our conversation with them, we
feel that they have already agreed to do all of the above mentioned work.

On Bartlett Boulevard, at the intersection with Glendale Road, construction
was done in the usual manner. The material mupplied by the contractor and the
work done by him meets the specifications. There was a field judgement made at
the time that th~ area would be okay. In a project of the mize of Mound's
street improvements, there are many instances where there is some risk. In
this one situation, the result of the risk was unfavorable.
As the report noted above, moisture content is high in the subgrade at the
inter~ection of Bartlett and Glendale Road probably caused by unidentified
sources of water getting into the subgrade. There is storm sewer in this'-~_, I~,~
intersection and we propose that the corrective action consist of constructi~g~
an underdrain system, shaping the subbase to drain into the underdrain system-//
which would empty into the storm sewer and then backfilling with three feet of
granular material. This would then be paved with five inches of bituminous
base and 1-1/2" wearing course. The length of this corrective action is ap-
proximately 180 feet. We see no reason why the cost of these repairs could not
be paid out of the M.S.A. Maintenance Fund.
The Council should consider if they want to proceed with this corrective
action at this time, or if they want to defer it until the sealcoat is
scheduled. We would recommend delaying any repair until 1985 or the year be-
fore the scheduled seal coat.
John Cameron will be available to answer any questions you may have regard-
ing the repair of Bartlett.

RE: 83-055 BITUMINOUS CORING
Bartlett Blvd. and
Tuxedo Blvd.
Mound, MN
As requested on March 25, 1983, we have completed the bituminous
coring, power auger borings and laboratory analysis of the bitu-
minous for the above referenced project. The purpose of this
investigation was to obtain samples of the bituminous wear course
at various locations and to determine the subgrade soil types.
SCOPE
A total of 4 locations were tested on Bartlett Boulevard and two
locations were tested on Tuxedo Boulevard. Locations for the
tests were located in the field by representatives of
McCombs-gnutson. At each location, bituminous samples were
obtained using a coring machine and a 6-inch diameter core barrel
or by retrieving chunks of the loosened wear course. Tabulated
below are the location and types of samples obtained.

At locations 1, 2, 3 and 6, power auger borings were put down
through the core hole to evaluate the soil type. The auger was
advanced to the desired test depth. Soil samples were then
obtained by retrieving cuttings on the flights of the auger. It
should be noted that power auger borings do not provide an index
of compressibility or settlement characteristics of the soils
encountered.
LABORATORY TESTING
As requested, a total of 5 bituminous samples were tested to
determine the gradation and asphal, t content. These tests were
conducted on March 30, 1983 in accordance with ASTM procedures.
RESULTS
Log of Power Auger Borings indicating the depth and iden-
tification of the various soil strata are attached to the
appendix of this report. Also included in the appendix are the
results of the laboratory tests conducted on the bituminous
samples.
As indicated on the results, the percent of extracted asphalt
from each sample was found to be within the recommended range
based on MN/DOT specifications. In addition, ail gradations met
specifications as established by MN/DOT.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
Enclosed is a petition from three of the four property owners on Halsted
Avenue. Their houses are located on the boundary line with Minnetrista.
In 1981, the other property owners asked that their street be hard
surfaced. Somehow the message never got through to Mound so we could do
a simple add-on to the street project and have the work the petitioners
are requesting done. Thus we are now back at point A. The next step
is to d~rect the City Engineer to develop a preliminary engineering report
on this project. Following the acceptance of that we will need to hold
a public hearing and if everything is O.K.,order the project.
It is a good time to do this work because I would like to put an overlay
on the Cemetery road (paid for out of the Cemetery Fund) and we will
need to have a machine lay in bituminous mats where a couple of water-
mains broke this Winter. If we are able to tie this work together, it
will result, hopefully, in better prices for all of the various pieces.

RE.' ARCADE REPORT
As a part of the rejection of Tom Watson's expanded conditional use
permit for his dance hall/teen center, was a request by the Council
to investigate the possibility of setting a date to begin proceedings
to revoke his existing Arcade License.
The Police Department and my office have put together the material
that would be germane to those proceedings. That information is:
Ae
A copy of the certified check that was used to pay the back
rent on the entire facility from Howard Thompson, Jr. This
clearly indicates his economic interest in the existing
Arcade beside the fact that he is supplying the machines.
Be
A count, last week, noted 14 machines in operation, a
continuing violation of his license, which shows he has
licenses for just 10 machines.
A review os Mr. Thompson's criminal record, which shows
two misdemeanor convictions including one for the possession
of marijuana in 1982, which cast doubts on his moral character.
On the other side is a discovery by the City that the Licensing Department
forgot to send out his Arcade License application when it was due for
renewal on January 1, 1983. This does not show the greatest of competence.
The License Clerk thought that when we denied the conditional use permit
we had denied continuation of the existing Arcade and thus didn't need to
send out the License application. Thus he is operating without an approved
License. His machine licenses come up for renewal April 30th. We just
this week forwarded the necessary applications to Mr. Watson.
Because of these administrative blunders, I agree with Police Chief Wold
that at this point the City should go slow in any attempt to revoke his
currently approve conditional use permit. His feeling is that if the

SUBJECT: Mound Arcade
DATE April 15. 19..~
At your request, I went to the Mound Arcade to find out why the
games of skill were being removed from the building. I was hoping to
meet Paul Pond, but Mr. Pond apparently had to go elsewhere. The concern
of Mr. Pond was that the operators of the arcade may attempt to strip
furnishings from the building which would be in violation of the lease.
Mr. Pond also expressed some concern for lein holders who may not be
protected if some of the fixtures were removed from the building.
I arrived to find a U-Haul truck backed up to the door, and the
Corvette belonging to Howard Thompson Jr. parked in front of the truck.
Two persons were loading electronic games into the U-Haul truck. I
asked one of those persons to find }~. Thompson for me. Hr. Thompson
came out of the arcade and spoke with me for a few minutes. I asked
him what was going on, and he told me that the games weren't returning
a big enough profit out here and that they were being moved. He also
said that~the arcade needed another attraction, a dance floor, in order
to provide enough traffic to make the machines pay. I. advised him not
to disturb any of the fixtures in the building and he said that
everything else was going to stay. ~. Thompson added that he intended
to continue to pay the rent on the building, ~until he settled with
the City". I didn't bother to ask what he meant by that statement.
By removing the machines from the building, the arcade is now
vacant and no longer in use. I think that raises the question of
licensing any machines that may again be moved into this location.
Whoever may wish to operate an arcade on this site will have to sub-
mit license requests to the City and bear the scrutiny of a backround
investigation~

Arcade Report
Council wishes to pursue this in the future we would be on better footing
by monitoring all phases of the Arcade operation; any drug rela'ted events
and any acts of maliciousness by patrons of the Arcade. If we can zero
in on those issues rather than saying Howard Thompson is involved, an
easier case can be developed and stronger community support would result.
I have th~ Police Chief's recommendations available if the Council would
like to analyze them.

The joint committees of Shoreline's GIANT SALE and the First Ann~al Westonka
Multi-Community Parade respectfully request you to proclaim the weekend of June
10, 11 and 12, 1983 as The Westonka Weekend for Kids. We feel that the procla-

issued and dated on the same date as the Governor's proclamation designating
that weekend also as The Westonka Weekend for Kids. The Governor's proclamation
will be signed by Governor Perpich at a ceremony at the c~pitol building on
April 29, 1983. The following are the statements that will be included in the
~roo-l~mation by the Governor, we request that they also be used in the City's
proclamation.
Our Kids are the future of our country.
Shoreline's Early Intervention, Bridge and Child Care programs aid Kids,
some with developmental delays.
The parents, staff and friends of Shoreline sponsor a GIANT SALE, June
10, 11 and 12, to financially lad the progz~ams for Shoreltne's Kids.
The Westonka Chamber of Commerce and Shoreline are co-sponsoring a
Multi-Community Parade for the entertainment of all Kids On June 11th.
The City of Mound and all its agencies are encouraging and smpporting
the Parade and the events for the benefit of Kids that weekend.

DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
Enclosed is the proposed development contract that would be used in
pinning developers and other down once we approve their plats.
This is a fairly common document for the larger cities, but would mean
a departure for Mound where all the details and loose ends are often in
separate areas and hard to keep track of.
Since the change in personnel, alot of things have come up that no one
knows about, especially in light of the fact that the developers are
taking so long to implement their projects.
Please look it over for language and give me your ideas on the
appropriateness of using the contract.
JE:fc
DEVELOPHENT CONTRACT
AGREEHENT dated , 19. ., between the City of
Hound, a Hinnesota municipal corporation ("the City"), and
("the Developer").
WHEREAS, the Developer has asked the City to approve a plat of land owned
by it to be known as
(also referred to in this Agreement as the "plat"). The land is legally de-
scribed as follows:
See attached Exhibit "A".
AND WHEREAS, the City has approved the plat on condition that the Developer
enter into this Development Contract and comply with its terms.
Representation by Develope~. The Developer represents to the City
that the proposed plat complies with all City, County, Metropolitan,
State and Federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
Subdivision Ordinances, Zoning Ordinances and Environmental
Regulations. If the City determines that the plat does not comply,
the City may, at its option, refuse to allow any construction or de-
velopment work in the plat Until there is compliance. The Developer
further represents to the City that the plat is not of "metropolitan
significance" and that an environmental assessment worksheet, environ-
mental impact statement or the like is not required. If the City or
another governmental entity or agency determines, however, that such a
review is needed, the Developer shall prepare it and reimburse the
City for all expenses, including staff time and attorney's fees, that
the City incurs in assisting in the preparation of the review.
-1-
Phased Development. The plat shall be developed in _ _
phase(s) in accordance with the attached Exhibit. Phases not being
final platted at this time shall be designated as outlots on the final
plat for Phase 1. The City may refuse to approve final plats of sub-
sequent phases until development of all prior phases has been
satisfactorily completed.
Completion of work. The Developer shall complete the work required by
Paragraph 4 of this Agreement in accordance with City specifications
within months from the date of this Agreement. All work
shall be subject to approval of the City Engineer and, when and if
necessary, the Minnesota Department of Health, the Ninnehaha Creek
tershed District, and any other governmental agency having
jurisdiction.
Public Improvements. The required improvements and estimated costs
are set out in the letter of the City Engineer dated .,
l~___, attached hereto as Exhibit "8". Within ninety (90) days after
completion of the improvements, the Developer shall supply the City
with a complete set of "As Built" plans. The developer shall retain a
competent professional engineer to prepare the appropriate plans,
specifications, and other instructions to accomplish these
activities. The Developer shall specifically instruct his engineer to
provide adequate field inspection personnel to assure an acceptable
level of quality control to the extent that the Developer's engineer
will be able to certify that the construction work meets the approved
City standards as a condition of City acceptance. The developer or
his engineer shall schedule a pr,construction meeting at a mutually
agreeable time and place with all parties concerned including the City
Staff to review the program for the construction work.
Bond Requirements. The Developer shall deposit with the City a
performance, materials and labor bond satisfactory to the City to
guarantee completion of the work required by the developer pursuant to
Raragrap~ four (4) of this Agreement and also guaranteeing the payment
for all materials and labor costs incurred in conjunction with the
work. The amount of the bond shall be for 125~ of the estimated cost
of the work as set forth in Exhibit "B".
Other Costs and Contributions. Before the City signs the final plat
the Developer shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the City
for the payment of the costs and contributions as set forth in the at-
tached Exhibit "C".
Ownership of Improvements. Upon the completion of the work and con-
struction required to be done by this Agreement, the improvements ly-
ing within public easements shall become city property without further
notice or action.
Warranty. The Developer warrants all work required to be performed by
it against poor material and faulty workmanship for a period of one
(1) year, after its completion and acceptance by the City. The Oevel-
oper shall post maintenance bonds or other security acceptable to the
City to secure the warranties.
lC.
Erosion Control. The Developer shall comply with any erosion control
method requested by the City for the prevention of damage to adjacent
property and the control of surface water runoff. As the development
progresses, the City may impose additional erosion control require-
ments if in the opinion of the City Engineer they would be useful.
The Developer shall comply with the erosion control plans and with any
such additional instructions it receives from the City. All areas
disturbed by the excavation and backfilling operations shall be
reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area.
Seed shall be rye grass or other fast growing seed to provide a tempo-
rary ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be
mulched as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that
time is of the essence in controlling erosion.
Easement. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents,
employees, officers and contractors an easement and license to enter
the plat to perform all work and/or inspections deemed appropriate by
the City during the development of the plat.
ll.

conjunction with the development of the plat. lhe City shall
have no obligation to pay such costs whether or not the City has
approved the work.

costs, damages or expenses, including engineering and attorney's
fees, which the City may pay or incur in consequence of such
claims by third parties.

enforcement of this contract, including engineering and
attorney's fees.

City within thirty (30) days. If the bills are not paid on time
the City may halt all plat development work until the bills are
paid in full.
The Developer agrees that the City, at its option only, can in-
stall and construct any work on improvements required herein to
be made by the Developer. [f the City makes any such improve-
ments under its power to make local improvements, or if the City
makes improvements due to the Developer's default as outlined in
Section 13 the City may in addition to its other remedies assess
its cost in whole or in part. Unless otherwise specifically
provided, the Developer shall pay the entire assessment in a
singls installment in the year after adoption of the assessment.
-4-
The Developer hereby waives any and all substantive and
procedural objections to the City doing the work and assessing
the cost.

plete the work this Development Contract requires of it, the City may
at its option perform the work and the Developer or the bonding com-
pany shall reimburse the city for all expenses incurred by the City.

Re: Subdivision Escrows
Please give me copies of Preliminary Plat Subdivision resolutions
highlighting the amount to be put into the escrow account (2300)
for each developer. We will then set up an account code for all
expenditures against that escrow account. These expenditures will
not show up as an expenditure to the City, instead they will reduce
the escrow funds received, or if not received, reducing future receipts.
Therefore, should we never get that money, we would at that time charge
these expenditures against the Planning Department making it very
important not to set up these escrows if we do not think we will get
the money.
You can review bills from the attorney, engineer and planner to be sure
all amounts are charged to the escrow'account.
Also, please give me copies of receipts of escrow funds.
The escrow fund will be set up in the General Fund (01) with a project
number assigned to it. Thus far we have three developments with account
numbers. These are:

Re: Policy Statements
Dear Jon:
Enclosed are the three policy statements (Loss Control, Loss Prevention,
and Risk Management) which have been revised in accordance with the
recommendations.
I would appreciate it if you would review these statements and advise.
W.E. Husbands CPCU

RISK MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
The City of Mound is to be protected against accidental losses
which in the aggregate during any financial period, would sig-
nificantly affect the City's personnel, property, its budget,
or ability to fulfill its responsibilities. The City of Mound
rejects any loss of life or serious personal injury to employees
or members of the general public.
The City of Mound will apply to their risks a systematic and
continuous identification of loss exposure, an analysis of
these exposures in terms of frequency and severity, the appli-
cation of sound loss prevention and loss procedures, the review
of whether risk transfer could have been utilized, and the
financing of the risk consistent with the City's financial
sources.
The administration of the City's risk management program is
assigned to W. E. Husbands who will report to the City Manager.
LOSS PREVENTION STATEMENT
The City of Mound having already gone on record as ~~w~
of life or serious personal injury to employees or ~.'~
any lOSSof the general public resolves that: ~,~,
members
It shall be each employees responsibility to be aware ~
of his/her surroundings so as to take notice of any
unsafe act or condition. These situations shall be
brought to the attention of that person's immediate
supervisor for corrective action.
A safety committee shall be established to review all accidents
whether workers compensation, auto, etc. in nature and determine
how they can be avoided in the future.
Each department will hold safety meetings once a month to review
problem areas and corrective measures.
If, for any reason, an employee still feels unable to address
areas of safety, this should be brought to the attention of the
City's outside Risk Manager, Bill Husbands, who is charged with
the City's overall safety responsibilities.
LOSS CONTROL STATEMENT
Once a loss has occurred, a number of actions should be taken
in the following order:
The injured party should be attended to immediately.
In case of a serious injury, the injured person should
be transported to the closest hospital (probably Waconia)
by ambulance or other emergency vehicle.
In case of back injury, sprains, hernias, etc., the
injured party can be sent or taken to the Occupational
Medicine Clinic at 800 East 28th Street, Minneapolis,
Minnesota.
In all cases, someone other than the injured party should call
ahead to the medical facility being used to make them aware of
the situation.
In those cases where immediate medical attention is' not necessary,
the injured party should give a full written report of the loss.
In cases where immediate medical attention is necessary; a pre-
liminary report should be filed by the direct supervisor.
A report must be completed on all losses immediately.
or clarifications can be made at a later date.
Additions
The original loss report should be sent to the insurance company.
A copy needs to be sent to Earl Bailey, Bill Husbands and the
OSHA report log.
Each injured employee shall be contacted periodically by his/her
immediate supervisor.
Any emoloyee absent more than three days from work should be
visited in person at least once a week.
Ail efforts shall be made by all parties to return an injured
employee to his/her job as soon as possible.

THE CIVIL-SERVICE GIANTS
A story of
baseball and
bureaucracy
by
Allan B. Jacobs
Allan B. Jacobs was

keley.
lt}': SAN FIIANCISCO GIANTS went civil
service in 1980. The team~the play-
thc the coaches, the
ers,
lllanagers.
..///i_ batboys, and the gr'ounds keepersMall
of them became civil-service employees of tile
City and County of San Francisco that year.
It wasn't planned. It just happened.
After an unexpectedly good year in 1978,
when the Giauts actually finished third after
leading for most of the season, the team fell
to fifth place in '79. Ancndance, which had
exploded to well over 1.5 million in '78, sank
to 1,500 to 3,000 on weekdays and 10,000 to
12,000 on weekends when the Dodgers were
in town. So Bob Lurie sold the Giants near
the end of the '79 season to a Brazilian who
had made it big selling Amazonian hardwoods
in Georgia aml was looking for his own tax
shelter.
The new owner soon found out about ma-
jor-league salaries, all those empty seats, and
the other competition that was bidding for the
fans' dollars in the Bay Area. He concluded
that maybe hc hadn't bought tile best baseball
franchise in the world, tax write-off or not,
and began thinking and talking of ~noving the
franchise, just as earlier owners had when fans
stayed away from games, tie felt sure he could
break the Giants' lease arrangement for the
use of Candlestick Park.
By now, few people paid much attention to
that sort of posturing and threats to leave.
Those antics made good press for a day or
two, but it was well known that the Giants
were locked into San Francisco for twenty
years by virtue of an ironclad agreement they
had signed with the city's Department of
Parks and Recreation. Some long-forgotten
lawyer in the city attorney's office bad written
a lease that bound the two parties together
like Siamese twins.
Nevertheless, the city attorney always got
a bit anxious when the Giants threatened to
leave. He asked a new, young assistant, Ha-
drian Ness, fresh from the University of San
Francisco Law School, to check up on it:
Could the Giants get out of the lease? The as-
signment had been given before and was con-
sidered good training by the old pros in the
office. But Ness was eager to make his mark
and took the job more seriously than his pre-
decessors had. He also had no other assign-
ments just then and wanted to be busy, lest
some city councilman demand that his position
be lopped off the payroll. City attorneys were
about the only category of employees in San
Franci,co that didn't have civil-service pro-
tectim~, and that rankled Ness. After all, the
re:t of his USFL$ classmates who went to
work fo,' the city (some 68 percent was the
)'early ax'era,ge) were secure for life. Ness was
pretty angry about that.
In his research, Ness made some interest-
ing observations. He noticed that the lease
was with the Department of Parks and Rec-
reation, not with the city council or the mayor
or the city. He recalled that the city charter
said somethi,~g about all Park-Bec employees
having to be hired through the civil service.
..Ness also ob,erred that the Giants' front of-
flee worked in space in Candlestick Park pro-
vided by Park-Ilec. Some of the Giants' per-
sonnel were pretty chummy with the Park-lice
people. After all, they shared the same johns.
On a few occasions (once when there had
been a printers' strike in town, and once when
someone had forgotten to reorder envelopes)
the Giant~ had sent out letters on Park-Bee
stationery. What are friends for? It was also
a fact that Willie Mays's contract had once
been sent with a letter that bore Park-Bee's
The head of Park-Bec had framed a pho-
pied facsimile, just for laughs, of course,
and hung it on the wall behind his desk.
From these seemingly innocent observations
and frmn one day seeing the Giants' grounds
keepers digging up the pitcher's mound, rak-
ing the base paths, and cutting the infield grass
--the kind of thing that the city's own gar-
deners did--Ness came {o a startling conclu-
sion: All of the team, including the players,
were employees of the city and county of San
Francisco, and should be treated as such!
Assuming Ness was right, that meant that,
like all Park-llec stall, the players would have
to be hired by civil-service procedures. Among
other things, they would have to pass exams,
and any new players would have to live in the
city. Fantastic! Ness's father, a union orga-
nizer/street cleaner working for the city at
818,000 a year, would be proud of him.
Ness went immediately to his boss to tell
him the exciting news, but that august person-
age was out defending the city on a zoning
· case. So, while waiting, Ness had lunch with
his newfound city-hall friend, reporter Russ
Cone. He confided to Cone the significance
of what he had found, knowing without hav-
ing to ask that his friend would treat the mat-
ter confidentially.
The story that hit the afternoon papers was
headlined CITY ATTORNEY SAYS GIANTS CIVIL
"All of the team,
including the
players, were
employees of
the city and
county of San
Francisco, and
should be treat-
ed as such!"

THE CIVIL-
SERVICE
GIANTS
SERVICE. The mayor was quoted on the eve-
ning news as responding, "Did the city attor-
ney say that?" San Francisco, as any politi.
cai-science student will tell you, has a weak-
mayor, form of government.
Governor Brown the Younger, reached at a
San Francisco ashram, thought it was a good
idea, but if this was just another ploy of San
Francisco politicians to get state money in the
po~t-Prol)osition 13 era, they had another
guess coming. He said he hadn't been born
yesterday, you know.
The commissioner of baseball said some-
tiring to the effec~ that this was probably just
another bit of nonsense coming out of San
Francisco and needn't be taken seriondy. He
thought that San Francisco ought to start try-
ing to solve its baseball problems instead of
coming up with such tomfoolery.
Most observers thought that it was simply
West Coast high jinks, that the idea was im-
pos~ibh, and lib'gal on its face, and they had
a good laugh.
Hadrian Nes~ didn't think it was funny, tie
took hi~ severilncc pay and, with a small grant
from thc CMl Scrvice Fom~,latiou, ~et up au
utiicc and In'ought t[~c matter lo court. Ness
a]~o lnitnagcd to get ;m injum't~on against thc
(;iant,---or any,,n,, ,,is,. for thal matter--using
Candle,lick Park until the ca,e was settled.
So a lot of pcoph, want,.d the question re-
solved quickly. Anticilmling appeals, the city
and Il,. {;im~ls agr,.,.d to h.t thc matter go di-
rectly to th,. California Sulm.lnc Court, where
it wa, l,'ard in late January of 1980.
Thc young grandson of onc of thc justices
had ju,t been traded by. the Giants to a Cin-
cinnati /arm team in Tennessee. The justice
didn't know where Tennessee wa,, was sure
thc boy had re.vet been given a chance, lek
thc wh,,h. },usincss of buying and Starling play-
ers was like slavery, and thought he'd never
see his favorite grandson again.
By a one-vote margin, the California Su-
preme Court agreed with lawyer Ness; the
Giants had to be civil scrvicc.
SAN FRANClSCO'S ball team became the
laughingstock of baseball in almost no
time, well before tit(. first pitch of the
1980 ~eason. Baseball, like most other
professional sports, was big business. Most
fans knew that where tile team played had al-
most nothing to do with the team itself. Place
was incidental to the business/sport, a vestige
of an ohler, more romantic time, when the
owners also owned local breweries and the
players might even live on the next street. In
the modern era thc players had ahnost never
grown up in the cities where fl~ey played. They
came from places like Cuba and Mexico. Only
the bat boys lived in the home city.
It was an cra of trades, options, release
clauscs, multiyear contracts, and making it
while you could. Game times and places were
determined more by the imagined needs of a
prcprogrammed national television audience
than by local preference. Most people sus-
pected that national and international TV ran
sports anyway. It was clear that a local team,
made up of local civil sen'ants who came from
and lived in San Francisco, could never com-
pete in an international sport.
The players were dumbfounded. Civil ser-
vice? Civil servants? They had only recently
been given some freedom from the odious "re-
serve clause" that hound them for life to
whichever team owned th:.ir contracts. They
were making lots of money now that tb,:y were
ahnost free to play for the highest bidder.
Players knew that civil scrvanta didn't make
much money, no one called a civil servant
couhl. So they quickly turned to their lawyers.
agents, anti contracts.
There was undcrstandal~h' confusion ami,1
the fact antl rumor that went tl,e rounds. Old
contracts would have to be honored, wot,ldn't
they? Players could play o,t their options and
then try to land with another team~but who
would want them? Wouhl there be pay cuts?
Thc law?rs and the agent~ had a wimlfall of
nnexpcctcd fees and commissions while look-
ing after their player,' interest. They felt se-
curt' in advising thc latter to take it easy anti
~e how things sorted themsclves out. The sea-
son was about to start, and in all likelihood
they would be secure for tile year.
Player security was actually enhanced when
Giants' manager Grubb tried' to fire Isis third-
base coach just before the season started. The
coach had a drinking problem and was wob-
bly on the field three out of five days. He kept
sending base runners home from second hase
on groundballs hit to the infield~the runners
were always out by forty feet. And Grubb had
found out that the coach was having an affair
with his wife. So Grubb fired the bounder,
who promptly appealed to the Civil Service
Commission.
Bernice D'Orsi, head of the civil service,
advk-ed her com~nissioners that drunkenness
on the job, during games, bad not been proved
I Grubb wondered bow you could prove that),
that thc coach sent the framers home on his
best professional judgment and it was his
judgment against tile manager's (who, by sit-
ting in the dugout, was farther from the ac-
tual scene of action), anti that the wife-steal-
ing business was personal, not professional and
work-related. Grubb should certainly be able
to make that simple distinction and not carry
over a private relationship into the work en-
qronment. D'Orsi therefore recommended
gainst the firing and was upheld unanimous-
ly by the commission. Grubb was dazed by
the experience. He had always been able to
fire coaches at will. It was one of his few plea-
sures. Worse yet, now that the business about
his wife and the coach was out in the open.
he would have to move out of his apartment.
He had never had to do that before. He locked
him:~4f in the manager's office for three da)'.~
and then looked for a new place to live.
Hearing the news, some old-time players
barely banging on, as well as some rookies not
quite out of tile minor leagues but praying
never to go back to the Fresnos of the world,
were seen walking into the office of tile civil-
service union.
TIlE SEASON opened without incident.
Tile mayor threw out the first pitch
(to D'Orsi, for a little humorl and
was booed by 4,000 paying faus. In
Iris abbreviat,-d speech he wondered if this
might not be the dawn of a new baseball cra,
and was booed again. The ga,nc, against the
l~ath'es, started well. The Giants wer.' hining,
aostlv doubh-s. By the fourth inning, the
coach bad sent three base runners
to thcir doom at home plate: and then the roof
caved in. The Giants lost, 12 to 1.
]',':m~ morale was none too good to begin
with, anti soon got a lot worse. Not many peo-
ple came to the home games; most of them
were silent when they did. Without kids clam-
oring for their autographs, players' fragile egos
were hurt. No one asked for a city traffic en-
gineer's autograpb~why would they want a
city baseball player's? San Franciscans backed
winners, and it was clear that a civil-service
team could not be a winner, so the fans staved
home and the players felt bad, and their play-
ing suffered.
Road trips were worse. The team was
laughed at in other cities. Players were asked
over and over bo;~ it felt to be a civil servant.
What would they do during the off-season,
when all the other players got to stay home
and fish and drink beer? Would they be street
cleaners or, since they were part of the De-
partment of Parks and Recreation, would they
be playground leaders, or gardeners? The ball-
players didn't think that kind of question was
too funny. They stayed in their hotel rooms,
their usual lobby seats, where, in
,etter times, they had been oohed and aabed
over. Now, people stared and were more prone
to point their fingers and snicker than to li.
onize. To top it all 0fl, groupies who I0110wed
big sports teams stopped following tile Giants.
Civil servants, even if they were baseball play-
ers, didn't have much sex appeal.
In late May, in the eighth inning of a score-
less game in Philadelphia, Grubb went to the
mound to replace Denny Sullivan, bis rookie
starting pitcher, who had just walked three
Phillies on twelve straight had pitches to load
the bases. Sullivan refused to leave the game.
lie said he was doing fine and bad a right to
remain that was protected by civil service. It
was a matter of professional opinion. Besides,
this could be his first major-league victory.
Grubb had told tile kid to quit screwing around
and to go take a shower. Sullivan refused. He
was the pitcher, he had been designated tile
pitcher, and he had a right to pitch. They
weren't even behind. Walks were as much a
part of tile game as strikeouts. They went into
the records. It was like being fired without
cause. He wanted a civil-service hearing.
(;rubb went for Sullivan's throat. It took
three Phillies to separate the two Giants, and
tl,e umpire threw them both out of tile game.
The story lnat{e national headlines. Here was
thc inevitable consequence of bureaucrats and
lawyers meddling in placcs where they had no
businc,s. It made no ditlcrence to the base-
ball worhl that the Civil Servicc Commission
later upheld Grubb's action on the grounds
that a departnaent head had the right to assign
staff as he thought best to carry out the de-
partment's responsibilities. The commission
did, however, censure Grubb for lack of phys-
ical rcslraint.
The baseball establishment came to the real-
ization that tile Giants were no laughing mat-
ter. By the All-Star break in early July, when
the subject of the big-league lneetings was
what to do about the Giants, the team was al-
ready twenty-five games behind the leading
Dodgers. Meetings of baseball moguls are sel-
do~n productive and this was no exception.
There were indications that the Giants would
be bankrupt by September, so haseball de-
cided to wait until the season was over. In
the meantime, tile problem took care of itself.
Well, ahno:t.
As STRANCE AS it may seem, it was the
totally bizarre circumstances of the
Giants that began to have a positive
effect on the team's fortunes. The first
sign was when it became apparent that there
was a hard knot of fans that showed up at
most home games and sat together, isolated,
out in the right-field stands. The 1,000 or so
"Here was the
inevitable eon'
sequence of
bureaucrats and
lawyers med-
dling in places
where they had
no business."

to stave off financial disaster' and came every
night. They soon found out that the afternoon
rest-break that tile union had won for them
could be stretched into four or five innings on
day games. They were a happy, fun-loving
bunch who soon got to know and like each
other and found Candlestick Park a good
place to hold informal meetings to discuss
working conditions and wages. They cheered
on their union brothers in uniform, regardless
of bow the game was going or of how badly
their heroes played. They were a positive
crowd.
San Francisco's civil-service fans helped,
but not enough to make any difference. The
nature of San Franciscans made a difference.
llemembcr, San Franciscans are tile kind of
people that voted .for McGovern, legalizing
pot, legalizing abortions, and the rights of
homosexuals, and against Jarvis-Gann, the
death penalty, and a lot of othcr tilings that
later became important. To some of them, in
Jl~l.v. th~. notion of their local team competing
against tile national and international imper-
sonal i.nstitution that baseball had become
gave the whole matter a David-and-Goliath
character. There was no question but that the
Giants were the Davids, and there was no
question of which was the right side to be on,
especially since the home-towners were getting
l~cat up so l~adly. Fans could come out and
joyfully cheer the Giants on and not be dis-
appointed when they lost. More people, re-
laxed, came to the games to cheer (and laugh
at) the underdog. It was nice to be seen there,
like conspicuous consuming. Girls went alone
or in pairs, and so did boys. Candlestick Park
became a good place to meet other people, and
'maybe go home with them. It was an even bet-
ter place to go once the management added
white wine (served in little plastic goblets) and
a remarkable mini-quiche to its choice of food.
Still more people came.
The players felt they were being laughed at
at first, hut they joined in the good humor of
it all and actually played better, losing less
frequently.
Attendance jumped again when civil-service
employees from around the Bay Area made
the Giants their favorites and came from as
far as Milpitas.
Civil servants from other major-league cities
got the message. When the Giants were on the
road they began to find themselves cheered
on by whole sections of fans. These were local
municipal employees coming to support the
visitors. Hell, they were civil-service brothers
all. It was possible to identify with the Giants,
and they needed a hand. So the city employees
of St. Louis came to cheer the Giants and boo
the Cards. The Cards muttered about the fickle
nature of their fans and went into a slump,
losing four straight to tile Giants.
Team morale went up. It skyrocketed when,
in New York, some civil-service groupies
showed up to give the boys support. Jocks
were jocks after all, regardless of their civil
status. The Giants took two of three from tile
Mets, and then murdered the Expos in three
straight after someone translated the French
banners, "L'union Jait la force--l/ire les
Giants."
Some young kids out in Walnut Creek were
bugging their parents to move to San Fran-
cisco so that the kids could have a chance to
make the Giants' civil-sen, ice-regulated team.
This was not lost on city politicians and city
planners who for years had been looking for
ways to stop the flight of middle-class families
to the suburbs. Local baseball might just suc-
ceed where lousy schools had failed.
By the time the Giants returned from their
road trip toward the end of July, they were
a relaxed, winning bunch of guys. Morale was
up, and they were playing over their heads.
A ten- or twenty-game fluke streak perhaps,
but fun nonetheless.
As attendance rose, tile team continued to
play well. They were still fourteen games out
of first place by the end of July, a distinct im-
provement, but it was clear that they were too
far behind to ever catch up.
In early August, two stars from the hated,
league-leading Dodgers announced that they
were playing out their options and would toil
for whichever teams would pay them tile most
millions the next year. The two were al-
ready pocketing something in the vicinity of
$700,000 a year--each. That made the Giants,
with their civil-service aura, even more popu-
lar. (Management wasn't talking about how
much three or four of its stars were making,
or that fifteen of the Giants were planning to
do the same tiling as the two ungrateful Dodg-
ers.) The Dodgers went into a slump with the
announcement of the impending defections,
and they dropped nine straight, four to the
Giants on a memorable weekend when 250,000
people squeezed through Candlestick's turn-
stiles to see the civil-service Giants.
By the end of August, they were only four
games out of first place and were driving hard.
Just then, Fidel Castro announced that he
would love to come to the World Series if the
Giants won. The idea of a public, socialist
team was inspiring and could only help Cuban-
U.S. relations. Even people from the Haight-
Ashbury started coming to games after Fidel's
announcement. The Giants took over first place
September '15, then won another three
ght from Atlanta and led the pack by
three games on the twentieth.
SAN FRANCISCO was a madhouse. There
were only two weeks left in the season.
Orders for World Series tickets lvere
pouring in. Every hotel room was
booked in anticipation. The papers and tele-
vi,ion were full of the Giants. No team bad
ever conic from twenty-five games bebin,1 to
win the pennant. Anti this was a civil-service
team~ ltoward Coscll man'eled over "the in-
credible vitality of this team and tlds town,
the City by the Golden Gate."

was duc to ltl, ,upcrior managing, the won-
d,.rful San I:rancisco fans, and a solid core
of th.dicatt.d players.
On St'l,tembt.r 21. late in a gmne with Chi-
cago that thc Giants were leading by eight
run~, the third-lmse coach had Billy Murphy,
one of the dedicated ones, try lo steal home
f,,r what would bare been a superfluous score.
Kretcb. tl~e Chicago pitcher, furious that the
Giants would add insult to injury, threw his
b~.,t pitch of the game, directly at Murphy.
It broke Murphy's leg.
Mm'phy, the second baseman, was a steady
not outstanding member of tim team. He
did his job, and a lot of people didn't
even know his name. So it didn't seem to be
a crucial loss~at least not until the new sec-
ond baseman showed up the next day.
Gussie Johnson, sent by civil service to re-
place Murphy, was a big, strapping, fast, San
Francisco-bred Chinese who had been batting
.420 in the minors (albeit with the Golden
Gate Park Dunes). The only trouble with
Gussie ;vas that lie was left-handed.
Manager Grubb was livid. He screamed to
D'Orsi that it was impossible to have a left-
handed second baseman. A southpaw couldn't
possibly make the pivot necessary on double
plays. There had never been a left-banded
second baseman in the history of baseball.
Ask Cosell.
D'Orsi, as ever, was calm to the onslaught.
She pointed out that Grubb was just using au
old, old ploy of all thc other department heads
to undermine tile civil-service merit system:
Tile)' wcr,' always trying to create so-called
specialist positions, geared to particular peo-
ph,, rather than gen,:ral positions where many
apldicants couhl cmnpct, and get jol,s by
it. Only recently, the city-planning director
had been' caught trying to create something
called an urban-designer position, when it was
eh.ar that a city planner was a city planner.

ilo di~l'~.rcnce to D'Orsi that Gussie bad got
sucl, a hi~4h score by virtu,, of thc extra points
that came bis way automatically as an armed-
forces veteran, l)'Orsi also let Grubb know
that she had observed that there were no Chi-
nest on thc ball team. W'as Grubb living tes-
timony that thc bureaucracy ;vas bigoted, and
was hc looking for a civil-rights suit?
D'Orsi told (;rubb that the civil-service
union watched her every .-top. She ;vas pow-
erlcss, she couldn't set a precedent for the rest
of the civil service. The union's attorneys
would have the matter in the courts for mont}~s,
and in thc meantime Grubb would have no
second bascm,.n, not even a left-banded one.
Anyway, if Gussic didn't work out, then Grubb
had the right to terminate him during the first
six months, il there was a good reason. Grubb
perked up at this, but only until he realized
that two of tile next three people on the "in-

on the list might be a winner--he was young
and didn't know anything except how to play
baseball--but he was much too far down on
the list to offer Grubb any hope.
Grubh wandered unevenly back to Candle-
stick Park. 'fhat afternoon Gussie had four
hits and scored the Giants' two runs. In the
ninth inning, score tied 2 to 2, bases loaded,
one out, the Cubs' batter hit solidly to the
Giants' shortstop, who threw to second base
for one out. Johnson's relay to first was not
in time to catch the batter for a double play,
and a run, thc winning run, scored from third.
l)'Orsi heard the game in her o~ce at city
hall and was ecstatic about Gussie's hitting.
The Giants were still two games ahead, and
the next day Grubb moved his right-handed
third bast.man to p/ay second and tried Gus-
sic at third.
Grul,b did fire Two-Fingered Brown, the
].~ck-.p ca~chcr that civil service sent. Brown
had a rifle arm but no control of where the
ball wc.t wi.,. he threw it. That character-
istic hadn't been screened out in the eivil-
s,,rvivc exam. which was three-quarters written
~and tcsl,'d thc play.r's knowledge of base-
ball'~ and one-q.arter ~ctuaIly playing in the
livid, Brown. a reader, had done magnificent-
]y on thc written exam (100 percent), so it
didn't matter that he only got a score of 40
on the playing part of the exam. His combined
:core of 85 was more IMm enough to pass~ and
~ ith the 15 ,,xtra points he g-t for being han-
dicalq,'d, h, came out on top.
Brown had a mania for trying to pick run-
hers off at first base, having done that once
s,ccessfully in l]~e Little Lcaguc ten years
earlier. In a game against Houston, not two
days after thc (;ussic Johnson incident, Brown
tried to pick a runncr off at first. The throw,
lik' a shot. hit pitcher Montefusco on the
kneecap and that was all for Montefusco for
the season and for the Giants that day.
h wasn't all for Two-Fingered Brown,
though. Gr,bb fired him, and his firing was
upheld {this being Brown's probationary pe-
riod, wh,m department heads had absolute dis-
cretionary rights ~. But, as a gesture of kind-
ness and humanity (Brown had two wives and
three kids to S, pl,ort), the Civil Se~ice Com-
mission directed that his name be returned to
the bottom of the civil service "catchers" list,
so that he might have a chance with some
other "department." D'Orsi didn't point out
to them that no other city department used
catchers, two-fingered ones least of all. As luck
would have it, no one else was on the list at
that time (thc others who had passed the exam
had since moved out of town), so the bottom
of the list was the same as the top of the list
and Brown was back with the Giants, duly
certified, the next day.
The Giants' lead was down to one game.
The season was drawing to a close.
TItEBE ARE PEOPLE in San Francisco
who will tell you that the season ended
tile next day, when a new outfielder
· -.i~' showed utw-in a wheelchair. Most
people close to the situation ;viii tell you that
never really happened~it was at best a prank
pulled bv the visiting Dodgers.
It is certain, however, that Manager Grubb
had a nervous breakdown the next day.
Whether it was the Two-Fingered Brown in-
cident, or the Gussie Johnson affair, or the
third-base coach's affair with his wife, or just
his hatred of D'Orsi, or one of a thousand oth-
er reasons is hard to say. Trained people~
civil-service psychologists at' San Francisco
General Hospital~are searching for an an-
swer now.
Somc observers will tell you that San Fran-
ciscans live in their own w~rld. They will tell
you that there was a World Seri,s in 1980,
just as in other )'ears, and that to ]lear people
talk around city hall, the civil-service Giants
were in it--or could have been.
For some people in San Francisco, it is still
September. October and the World Series are
just around the corner, and the Giants may
damned well make it. All they need is a good,
left-handed first baseman and there's a terrific,
can't-miss prospect just waiting to win it all
for the Giants. He ;vas second on the civil-
service list. The new manager, an expert from
Berkeley's School of Public Policy, is in the
process of firing the right.handed first base-
man the civil service sent, but that could take
a while because the case is being appealed.
Some city-hall watchers w~ill tell you that
time does not stand still, that' it is Monday of
the last week of the season and they, the Civil
Sen'ice Commission, will be meeting this very
afternoon to decide the issue. It's on their
agenda. They will tell you that there is great
expectation in the Giants' offices and dressing
rooms in Candlestick Park. The Giants are
only one game behind and a pennant is still
in sight.
A civil.service clerk, on the staff of the Civ-
il Service Commission, will tell you, just as
he told his wife five minutes ago during his
break, that a lawyer for the civil-service
union, representing the right.handed first
baseman, has requested a postponement, and
that such requests are almost always honored.
Maybe they will decide the matter next week.
Maybe the season won't end. []

TO:
Mayors, Managers & Administrators
As you will note from the enclosed brochure, the Association
of Metropolitan Municipalities and the Coalition for Sensible
Land Use (a private sector group) are co-sponsoring a seminar
on "Public & Private Perspectives on Land Development Issues in
the '80's" We believe it is the interest of both the public
and private sectors to work more closely together to improve
the climate for economic development in the seven county
metropolitan area. We hope this seminar will be an important
step in developing a more positive relationship between the
public and private sectors in the development process.
We believe this seminar will be useful for both policy makers
and administrative officials at the city level. We look forward
to seeing you on April 28th. at the Sheraton Midway (I-94 and
Hamline Ave.).
SSncerely,

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
Enclosed is the original Memo from the Citizens League that contained
the property tax data published today in the tribune. When I read this,
I was very distressed by the fact that Mound is the 20th ranked property
tax out of the 95 communities ranked having populations over 2500.
This problem with this whole analysis is that it does not look at the
wealth of the tax base. That is illustrated by the fact that Mound
has an average house value of $80,786. While Minnetrista has an
average value of $130,139. While this means Minnetrista ranks 42 (twice
as high as Mound), it's average tax bill is more than twice as high -
$1870.O0 vs. $840.00.
I wish they would add a column for assessed value and population so one
could compare value per person. That would help put it into, I think,
sort of perspective.

CL Tax Survey
Property Taxes Increase, Erratic Pattern
An erratic patlern of increases-and
sorhe decreases-mark this year's Citizens
League. survey of property taxes on an
$80,000 house.
· Of the 95 municipalities in the metro-
politan area with populations greater than
2,500, 13 had increases of more than 35
percent in 1983, 39 had increases be-
tween 20 and 35 percent, 24 had in-
creases between ten and 20 percent, '13
had increases between zero and ten
percent, and six had decreases.
A tax of $715, or roughly .9 percent
of market value, is the median property
tax on a homestead selling for $80,000.
The corresponding figure in last 'year's
survey was .75 percent of market value.
Of the thirteen municipalities with
increases topping 35 percent-Arden
Hills, Columbus Township, Deephaven,
Eden Prairie, Fridley, Linwood Town-
ship, Mounds View, New Brighton, North
Oaks, Saint Anthony, Shoreview, White
Bear Township and Woodbury-some are
inner ring and others, outer ring suburbs.
· There is no clear pattern of wealth or
'grOwth among the communities with
rapidly rising property taxes.
The six municipalities which showed
decreases-Belle Plaine, Chaska, Farming-
ton, lnver Grove Heights, Rosemount,
and Jordan-are all outer ring suburbs in
the sourthem portion of the metropolitan
area. Except for Jordan and Belle Plaine,
the rest of the municipalities are at the
low end of the property tax rankings.
The purpose of the survey, which has
been conducted by the. CL NEWS since
th~ mid-1960s, is to illustrate how home-
stead property taxes generally compare
from community to community. The
chart on pages two and three shows how
property taxes compare. It .is not de-
signed to show how much you will pay
in taxes on your home. However, ff the.
assessor pegs the value of your house at
the same level as is shown in column fOur
of the table, your tax this year should be _.
fairly dose to the estimate for yOur com-
munity.
, A new feature in this year's survey is
the column at the right hand side of the
chart which shows the average house
'value in each municipality and the esti-
mated tax on it. This column shows what
the tax would be on a home which is
typical of the municipality, not of the
whole metropolitan region. Average
house values and estimated taxes range
from a high of $211,870 and $3,841 in
North Oaks to a')ow of $~4~7 and
$387 in Belle Plaine.
In some cases, the estimated house
value figure in column ten is fairly close

to the adjusted estimated market value
figure shown in column four, but the .'
estimated tax figures are quite different.
The difference is accounted for by the
sales ratio adjustment. The average house
value figure in column ten is adjusted by
state Department of Revenue sales ratio
figures to account for different a~ss-
ment practices among communities. A
figure of $80,000 in column ten would
result in an estimated tax figure similar to
the one in column one. ' ~ ....
· Thc average value figure for each' '
community was developed using state
Department of Revenue records. The
total assessed 'value for homesteads in
each municipality is recorded, as is the
number of homesteads; Dividing the total
assessed value by the number of home-
steads gives the average, figure. The
median value figure was unavailable..
Another new feature of this year's ~
survey is the. inclusion of more detail
on mill rates. In past years, only the total
mill rate for each municipality has been
was included. This year, we list the total
rate and the components which make it
up, showing mill rates for school districts,
cities or townships, counties and special
taxing districts in columns five through
nine. '
In all cases, the school mill rate is the
largest element of the total mill rate. The
school mill rate shown includes any levy
for vocational-technical institutions a~
well as the levy for primary-secondary-
education. In looking at the figure for the
school district levy, keep in mind that
school districts frequently cover parts of
several municipalities, :and municipalitie's
may contain parts of several school dis-
tricts. The school district number is listed
next to th~ name of the. municipality in
the left hand column of the table.
Differences in county mill rates among
municipalities in the same county can
typically be accounted for by services
provided only in certain parts of the
county. Ramsey and Hennepin counties,
for example, levy for library service in
most of the county, but not in Saint Paul
or Minneapolis, cities which have their
own library systems..
The miscellaneous levy is made up
(TAX continued on Page 4)
m
PAGE. 4
(TAX continued from Page I )
mainly of thre~c elements: the Metro-
politan Trmsit levy, the Metropolitan
Council levy, and the Mosquito Control
lledistrict levy. Cities and townships out-
e the MTC service area pay a transit
vy which is less than the levy in cities
receiving MTC service. Additional levies
shown in the miscellaneous column ate
watershed districts, hospital districts, and
'other special taxing districts, such as the
Hermepin County Regional Rail Author-
ity.
Special assessments are not included in
the calculations. The survey deals only
with homestead taxes. Taxes on non-
homestead property are much different..
Among the 95 communities, taxes on
an $80,000 house range from a ~gh of
$974 to a Iowof $~70. qn last yea~'~ ~

This year's survey is based on a house
with a market value of $80,000. This
represents ~n increase in value of 6.6
percent above' last year's house value of
$75,000.
An estimated 'real estate tax on the
house, including the impact of the home-
stead credit, is calculated for every city.
To arrive at the estimated tax figure, the
$80,000 typical house selling price is
multiplied by the state Department of
Revenue's sales ratio for each munici-
pality in order to account for different

sum of these figures is the taxable value,
which is multiplied by the total mill rate
to determine the gross tax.
The gross tax is reduced by the home-
stead credit, under which the state pays
58 percent of the gross tax, up to a maxi-
mum of $650 dollars.
Another refund, not incorporated in
these estimates, is provided to home-
owners whose household income is less
than $33,000. This is the circuit breaker.
The estimated tax figure in column one as
well as the estimated tax on an average
valued homestead in the municipality
shown in column ten does not include
possible circuit breaker refunds a home°
owner may be entitled to.
The CL NEWS would like to thank
Leonard Peterson, Jerry Silkey and Deb
Volkert from the Minnesota Department
of Revenue and the county auditors from
the seven Metropolitan area counties for
their assistance in this year's survey.

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE
MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
March 10, 1983
A special meeting of the Board of Managers of the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was called to order by Chairman
Cochran on March 10, 1983, at 7:40 p.m. at the St. Louis Park City
Hall.
Managers Present:
Cochran, Lehman, Thomas,
Carroll and Gudmundson
Also present were Board advisors Panzer and Peterson, and numerous
interested citizens, a typed roster of which is attached°
Chairman Cochran explained that the purpose of the
meeting was to initially organize the District's efforts to
undertake water management planning pursuant to Chapter 509, of
the 1982 Legislature. The attorney distributed copies of the
.relevant portion of the Act, and the engineer distributed a
memorandum dated March 10, 1983, outlining a proposed work plan.
The managers discussed the need to involve the local
municipalities and other units of government immediately in the
planning process. The managers concurred with the staff
recommendation to form an advisory committee composed of
individuals designated by each of the local units of government.
The managers also discussed the time commitment
necessary for both the Watershed Management Planning and the Upper
Watershed Project. They discussed whether the managers should
divide the responsibilities for these projects with some managers
assigned to one, and others assigned to the other. It was agreed
that the managers would continue to be involved in both major
planning efforts, and as time progressed, there might be a natural
migration of the managers to one or the other of the projects.

The managers discussed the five proposals listed in the
engineer's memorandum:
Authorize staff to prepare a draft work plan including
more detailed scheduling, cost estimates and billing
procedures for 1983.
Authorize staff to commence data collection and other
work tasks previously identified in the September 14,
1982, memorandum under Milestones I and II and in the
1983 work plan submitted by legal staff.
Authorize staff to prepare a draft letter to all
municipalities within the District. The purpose of the
letter would be to advise the City Councils of the
planning effort underway, to request appointment of
individuals to serve on an advisory committee to assist
and advise the Managers and to request contact person
identification for the purpose of collection of data.
Authorize staff to report to the Board on problems and
inconsistencies associated with existing Rules as a
first step in Rule revision.
Direct staff to report to the Board of Managers on
Items 1., 3. and 4. above prior to the next special
meeting.
The managers agreed that this was a logical first step
to proceed.
Comments were received from'the interested citizens.
Milton Christensen, representing the City of Minneapolis,
requested that the managers ~irst consider existing boundaries of
the district. He submitted.a map with a proposed relocation of
the District's boundary in the City of Minneapolis.
James Von Lorenz, a resident of St. Louis Park, asked
if the managers had considered and taken a position regarding the
portion of Chapter 509 which allowed the Board of Managers to be
increased from five managers to nine managers. He expressed the
need to have a representative on the Board from St. Louis Park and
neighboring communities. Chairman Cochran responded that each of
the present managers represents the entire district and that it
would be impossible to have a representative from each of the
numerous local units of government within the district. He
indicated that the managers had not considered the question of
enlarging the Board, but would do so.

Following discussion of the staff's proposal, it was
moved Thomas, seconded by Lehman, to authorize the staff to
complete tasks 1-4 as outlined in that memorandum and report back
to the Board prior to the next special meeting. Upon vote the
motion carried. It was stressed that the advisory committee
should consist of representatives from all local units of
government, including the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District,
the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, and the Hennepin County
Park Reserve District. Chairman Cochran also encouraged
representation from the Isaac Walton League. The managers then
determined that the next special meeting to discuss this matter
further would be April 28, 1983. Notices of the location will be
sent.
Two members from the audience representing Laketown
Township asked the Board if they were familiar with the fact that
two solid waste sites were being proposed in Laketown Township.
The Board requested that the staff look into this matter and
report back to the Board.
There being no further matters to come before the Board
of Managers, it was moved by Thomas, seconded by Gudmundson, that
the meeting be adjourned. Upon vote the motion carried and
Chairman Cochran declared the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Gudmundson

High Water Conditions on Minnehaha Creek
Dear Public Officials:
This is to update each of you with respect to current high water
conditions on Minnehaha Creek.
The rain and snow storms on Wednesday and Thursday have raised
the level of the lake to slightly above the top of the dam. Water
levels on the lake and creek will therefore remain high, and may
increase over their present levels as this snow melts, depending on
weather conditions.
We are attempting to reduce the lake level as rapidly as
possible without excessive flood damage to buildings downstream.
Our engineering sta/f has been in contact with the staffs of
each of the cities and we wish to be kept informed of current and
changing downstream high water conditions. We will continue to
examine alternatives to the present rate of discharge as conditions
change in order to minimize high water conditions as rapidly as
possible.
Please feel free to contact either the engineer at 473-4224 or
me at 474-4743 if you wish further information.
