Box 100 County Roads 15 and 19 Navarre, Minnesota 55392 (612) 471-8476 City of Mound Mound Minnesota Dear Sirs: I have been asked by Mr. Steve Tessmer to evaluate the probable ecological impact of operating a motor boat on Langdon Lake. People are often concerned that the operation of a motor boat will release phosphorus by stirring up the lake bottom or otherwise harm a lake. First, there is no scientific evidence that physically stirring up a lake hot%om releases phosphorus. On the contrary, the release of phosphorus is a chemical process that can be achieved in several ways. For instance, phosphorus is released when there is no oxygen in the overlying water, as occurs in the deeper waters of Langdon Lake. Bottom-feeding carp release phosphorus not through stirring action, but rather by mobilizing phosphorus in their digestive system. Second, a motor boat puts much less energy for mixing into a lake than just a strong wind blowing across the lake. For instance, the wind mixes Langdon Lake in the spring and fall, a process that does bring up phosphorus from the bottom waters. Third, there is no evidence that operating a motor boat harms the ecology of a lake in any way. One possible exception to this is that a propeller can become entangled in aquatic plants, a phenomenon so unimportant that it is ignored by the DNR even in the case of protected plant species. Another phenomenon is that any obvious human activity on a lake, such as the repeated operation of motor boats, tends to discourage the nesting and reproduction of some species of waterfowl, such as loons. I do not know if this is a pertinent issue at Langdon Lake. However, the issue of whether the opera%ion of a motor boa% disturbs loons (or humans) is getting away from the fundamental observation that a motor boat will cause negligible harm to the lake itself. A further point should be made that Langdon Lake already contains a very high quantity of phosphorus. Phosphorus is not a toxic substance. On the contrary, it is a nutrient that encourages large quantities of plants to grow. Lakes that contain high phosphorus concentrations are usually dominated by blue-green algae, which often float near the surface. In isolated instances blue-green algae can cause allergic reactions to swimmers, somewhat like swimmer's itch, or can harm animals that drink quantities of lake water. If these phenomena associated with blue-green algae do occur in Langdon Lake, they would in no way have been caused by the operation of a motor boat. Sincerely, Edward B. Swain, Ph.D. MINUTES R£~ULAR COUNCIL MEETIN~ NOVEMBER 26, 1985 The City Council of Mound,'Hennepin County; Minnesota, met in regular session on November 26, 1985, at 8:17 PM, in the Council Chambers at 5341Maywood Road, in said City.

Councilmember Smith moved and Councilmember Jessen seconded the following: MOTION that an appeal be ordered on the case of the hazardous and substandard structure located at 1721 Dove Lane, Mound, MN. The following was discussion on the subject. Councilmember Paulsen stated that he understood that not to appeal could set a precedent, but to appeal and lose could set a precedent that would be far reaching to Mound. November 26, 1~85 Councilmember Peterson stated that he could not support the appeal because this is a unique case and different from any. others. It is a problem and will remain a problem and by appealing it maybe someone could explain how that will solve the problem, but we still have a house that needs to be taken down on an undersized lot. The question is how to best bring this about and based on what he knows, rather than spend more money on legal expenses, we should condemn the property and negotiate the value. The City Attorney stated that he did not think i~-t'had the onerous connotations that the Council is getting at. He further explained that the Council grants variances almost every meeting and the reason is that the City of Mound is very unique because the platting, done years ago, was in 40 x 80 foot lots which has caused a tremendous number of problems. Councilmember Jessen stated that upon the Planning Commission's recommendation, variances are considered individually. She stated that she does not want to see the City's ability to say when a home is substandard and needs to come down impaired. Councilmember Peterson agreed with Councilmember Jess~n, 'but stated that the question is whether the City has to reimburse the owner, who in this case has reduced the property value after the house comes down. Councilmember Smith stated that he did not feel that compensation was the issue, as evidenced by several of the options the judge gave the City. He further stated that maybe the judge thought that was the issue and maybe he was wrong. Mayor Polston stated that his problem with this is that the judge is legislating which is the Council's duty not the judges. The City Attorney explai.ned that the judge has granted the City's request to have the hazardous building removed, but once removed it takes away from the value of the property. Therefore, the court is saying to the Council that it has alternatives which are as follows: 1. The City does not have to make him remove the building. It can let him fix it up by granting him a variance for an undersized lot. OR 2. The City can grant him a variance for the undersized lot and allow him to build a new house which would meet code. OR 3. The City can condemn the property and pay for it, which would include all court costs, attorney fees, etc. Councilmember Smith called the question. A roll call vote was 3 in favor with Councilmembers Paulsen and Peterson voting nay. Motion carried. November 26, 1985 DEFER PAYMENT OF OVERTIME The Acting City Manager mentioned an article contained in Council Packet regarding FLSA and a law that President Reagan signed on Nov. 13, 1985. City Attorney Curt Pearson'said it was too soon to interpret a law that was just written. Mayor Polston asked the attorneys and The Acting City Manager to research and give the Council an update at the December 10 meeting. iNFORMATION/MISCELLANEOUS A.

In addition to water ski lessons, Water Club West will offer sailing and windsurfing rentals and lessons at Mound Bay Park which is across the street from the proposed ski school site. COMMENTS: This case presents three primary issues: 1) the use of a public park by a for-profit enterprise, 2) the land use aspects of the proposed ski school, and 3) the impact of the proposed use on Lake Langdon. The first issue is being addressed by the Park and Recreation Commission. They will provide the City Council with a recommendation on the proposed usage of the park. 'The Planning Commission needs to address the land use and environmental aspects of this proposal. Comments on each of these issues are as follows: Land Use - The zoning ordinance allows commercial recreation as a conditional use in the Central Business (B-l) Zone. In order to be approved, proposed conditional uses must meet the criteria for granting a permit. Essentially, the criteria which are listed on page 25 of the Zoning Code require that a proposed use not be detrimental to the use of the surrounding properties, that the proposal be consistent with City policies and plans and that adequate infrastructure be available to support the proposed level of development'. Water Club West, if approved, will establish a ski school in an existing house (labeled B o~ the applicants site plan). The lower level of the house will serve as an office and the upper floor will be used for employee housing. The operation will employ approximately 4-5 people and adequate parking is available for both and staff and customer use. According to the applicant, the water ski school will only involve one boat on the lake at a time. They propose to equip the tow boat(s) with extra mufflers in order to control noise. Environmental Impact - The second item that needs to be addressed by the Planning Commission is the impact that the water ski school will have on Lake Langdon and the surrounding properties. In order to obtain background information on the lake, I talked to the DNR and the Minnehaha ~atershed District. A 1983 survey of the lake noted the following: - Total water area 143.9 acres - Maximum depth 38 feet-83% of the lake is less than 15 feet in depth - 1.8 foot clarit7 - Pea soup green color - Low oxyqen levels .' - Residual pollution from treatment plant that was discontinued 10 years aqo - Predominately bullheads, some northerns, black crappies and s~fish Additionally, a recreation census conducted in 1979 found very little recreational usage of the lake. Impacts on the surrounding properties due to noise from boat operations is controllable through the use of mufflers. Environmental impacts to the lake and specifically to water quality are not as easily controlled. The operation of the tow boat will agitate the lake, particularly, since the majority of the lake is less than 15 feet deep. City Staff lacks the expertise to accurately assess what, if any, impact this agitation may have on water quality. I assume that such an operation may potentially increase algal blooms which will further lower oxyqen levels possibly resulting in a summer kill of the few game fish in the lake. In discussing the agitation/water quality issue with both the DNR and Watershed District personnel, they indicated that they aqreed with m~ assumption. It was not assumed by any of the individuals that I spoke with that the approval of the proposed operation would pose any health hazards to the ski school operators or patrons. If the Planning Commlssiom has serious reservations about the water quality impacts of the proposed use, the City could, at the applicants expense, retain a oualified li~moloqist to review the information and provide the City with a recommenda tion. RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission finds that the land use is appropriate and that the operation of the ski school will not negatively impact Lake Langdon, it is recommended that the conditional use permit for Water Club West be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Operation of the tow boats and ski lessons shall be limited to the hours 0 of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. No more than two boats maybe tied to the Water Club West dock and both boats must be registered to the owner o~ the water ski school. Application for sign permits shall be filed with the City. Noise generated from the operation of tow boats shall not exceed 65 decibels as measured from any point along the lake shore. The request shall be reviewed by Mound's Insurance Carrier to determine if the City assumes any liability as a result of the issuance of a conditional use permit and, if applicable, the owners of Water Club West shall hold the City harmless for any damages resulting from the operation of the ski school. If the Planning Commission has any concerns regarding the long term operation of the 'proposed ski school, the conditional use pe_rmit could be issued on an annual basis. MINUTES OF]THE MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMHISSION MEETING DECEMBER 9','1~85 BOARD OF APPEALS 1. Case No. 85-451. Public Hearing on Conditional Use Permit ~or the Operation of a Water Ski School at 2627 Commerce'Boulevard on Lake Langdon Metes & Bounds'Descrlpt'ion ~ Part Of Lot l, Auditor.'s Subdivision 168 PID 23-117-24 14 0049 Steve Tessmer of' Water Club West Was present· Mark Ko·gl·r, City Planner, reviewed his report stating that ~he a~plicant ix seeking a eondltional use permit to establish a..water ski school and in con- junction· with that, he Is proposing to offer sailing and windsurfing rentals and'lessons at Mound Bay park. As a package, that presents 3 issues:. ]) the use of a public park by a for'profit enterprise, 2) the land use aspects of the proposed ski schoOl, ~nd 3) the impact of.the proposed use on Lake Langdon. He stated the' first issue is being addressed by both the City Council· and the Park Commission. The other two, the Planning Commisslon needs to address. · There will be a public hearing before the·City Council a week from tomorrow · evening. Land Use - He commented the zoning ordinance allows commercial recreation as a conditional use in the B-] Zone; they are asking, if approved, tp establish a ski school.in an existing house with the lower level serving as'an office and the upper floor used for employee housing. Operation will employ 4-5 people and there is adequate parking for both staff and customer use. They propose to use one boat on the lake at a time and further added, they would also pro- pose to eqUip the tow boat(s) with extra mufflers to control noise. Environmental Impact - He commented he talked to a number of people at the.DNR and 'the Minnehaha Watershed District in order to get some background material on the lake. He has listed some information from a 1983 surveY, such as size, depths, water color, etc. Potentially, the operation of boating activity of any kind will cause some agitation of the lake, particularly since the majority of lake is.shallow. He stated City staff does not know and can only assume that such an operation may potentially increase algae blooms which will lower oxygen levels possibly resulting'ina summer kill of the few game fish In the lake; No one he .talked with assumed that the proposed operation would pose any health hazards 'at all to users of the lake. He stated that if the Planning Commission has-reservations about water quality impacts, they could require the retentiOn of somebody from the Freshwater Biological Institute or somebody working bna free lance basis to do some further testing and get some recommendations back to the City. He itemized the following conditions he would recommend if the Commission finds the land use Is appropriate and the ski school operation will not negativel.y ..' impact Lake Langdon: Operation of the tow boats and ski .lessons shall'be.limited to the hours 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. to control noise a little bit'further and also with stipulation one boat at a time be allowed on the lake. No more than two boats may be tied Go the Water Club West dock and both boats must be registered to the owner of the water ski school. Application for sign permits shall be filed with the ·City. . Noise generated from the operation of tow boats shall not exceed 65 decibels as measured from any point along the lake shore. 33 Planning Commlsslon Minutes ' December 9, 1985 - Page 2 5. The request shall be reviewed by Mound's Insurance Carrier to determine-if the City assumes any liability as a result of the issuance of a c0nditi0nal use permit and, if applicable, the owners of Water Club'West shall hold the City harmless for any damages resulting from the ski school operation. In conclusion, he stated tha% the conditional use' permit could be issued on an annual basis if the Commission has. concerns regarding the long term operation.· The Planning Commission had questions and·comments on who was notified of this hearing, number of other,'bnats.:that use the lake, noise levels; slalom course and jumps planned, 'etc. ' Applicant·Steve Tessmer .stated that.they researched-this project a year ago .. and also Lake Langdon because they. knew It was a'green lake and not particularly attractive~for a swimming'place. The type of operation they hope to conduct will bring enthu~lastlcwater, skiers Who want to go'one at a.tlme on a lake without other boats and where there, are not waves to contend with and they can train and practice behlnd.a, tournament quality ski bo~t with some professional instruction. They think there:Is a real. market for that in the whole Twin City area..They also addressed the state of the lake.and al) the green algae. Up. until last week's newspaper article, they thought they .had all these concerns pretty well taken care of. He talked with several people on this. Any lake stratifies'In the summer time. It Is very difficult to.mix.that-lake up. All the phosphorous..is trapped at the.bottom of the lake and a boat does not mix the water·at the'bottom of lake any significant amount. Dr. Swain of the Fresh- water Biological Instltute'told him a windy day does more to stlr.up a lake than 1 boat. They have a boat that is designed to'~un in shallower water; only takes 22'Inches of water to run in; purpose, is less stirring up of the bottom of 'lake, They intend'to do most water skiing'on the east shore; they realize the long term use of this thing will be determined by how fe~ complaints they get. So, as far as the noise.issue, the-boat they intend to use has a noise rating of.50 decibels; it's an inboard ski boat equipped with additional muf- flers. In response .to a. question, Tessmer stated they would have slalom skiing, but no jumps. The Chair then opened.the publlc'hearing. The following persons responded: DEANNA BURGESS, 5764 Bartlett BoUlevard-, Spoke against the use; felt it would. destroy.the wildlife'and tranquility of the lake; against the constant zoom of a motor boat. M. L.'SYCKS, 5900 Bea~hWood Road.- Spoke in favor. Of the use on..a'limited basis with a one boat operation the first year and with'theapplicant financing, a water quality study at the end of the first year's operation. He also stated one agency suggested the City request, funding from the Minnehaha. Creek Water- shed District to improve the quality of the water. ' JIM BEDELL, Owner of 2617-2613 CommerCe Boulevard;.is very. much in-favor of use; he mentioned that approximate, ly 40% of lake iS commercial .(~r~m.2631 Commerce past the Lynwood'Apartment.s); doesn't see that the noise would bother him. DUDLEY FITZ, 5776 Bartlett BOulevard Spoke.againstthe use; wants to be able to keep Langdon a.fairly quiet area and for non-motorized boats. After everyone had an opportunity to'be heard,'the Chair closed the public hearing. Planning Commission Hin'utes.

WE6T W~ ...R~ILIN~ LESSONS I'rl ! DATE: December 9, 1985 TO: City of Mound Planning Commission FROM: M.L. "Buzz" Sycks - residence at 5900 Beachwood Road, Mound w/Lakeshore on Lake Langdon SUBJECT: Concern on proposed commerical venture on Lake Langdon. I have been the appointed Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Lake Level and Precipitation recorder for Lake Langdon for the past four (4) years. As such, I have access to Hydrologic Data Reports from Hickok & Associates. My main concern was whether additional boat traffic would increase the phosphorus in the water by ~eration. I have contacted: Dr. Swain & Bob Pillsbury of the Gray Fresh Water Biological Society, Bruce Wilson head of the Lakes Team for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the person I submit reports to, Mr. Jim Mahady, of Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Conclusion - Not enough is yet known about the effects of boatin~ disturbing and stimulating phosphorus count. 4. Recommendation - ne Limited use (1 boat) for the first year and a provision that the requesting person or company pay for and submit a water analysis test to the City and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District at the end of the boating year for further study. It is also recommended that this Planning Commission and the City of MOund contact the necessary persons or agencies responsible for funding a program to speed up and eliminate the surplus phosphorus count in Lake Langdon. MLB:cm cc: Dr. Swain Bob Pil'lsbury Bruce Wilson Jim Mahady Mound City Council 53~1 ~a~ooa Roa~ Mound, Minnesota 5536~ Dear Council MembersI 851 Forest New Haven, CT. 06515 D¢c~mber 5, 1985 Please consider this letter, written on my mother Ooldi¢ M. Torgerson's behalf, her response t° a recent conditional zone change request submitted by Mr. Steve Tessmer, 2627 Commerce Blvd., Mound, Minnesota 55360,. Recently widowed, my mother, who has resided at 576~ Bartlett Blvd.~, Mound, MN. 55364 sincc 197~' is visiting with mc,' her daughter, in Connecticut, Even though she cannot be present for your Monday, December' 9$hipublic hearing on said proposal, her strong feelings again9%~:it:haV~pro.~'Pted this letter.. To begin, authorities with whom we have 'S'p°ken have assured us 'that approval of this conditional use permi.t by your council .¥i11, without ques- tion, significantly lower the property values of all Lake Langdon residents. We w¢~ also informed that it is mother's legal right to sue in ox~icr to recover said loss: Secondly, the pastoral natu~ of beautiful Lake Langdon, as it exists in its pr¢sent state, is Sccond to non=. Its value goes beyond that of any one resident. It is a national tz~.asurc. Here nests the loon, Minn- esota's majestic state bird. To hear its plaintive cry during the twilight hours could bring tears to the eyes of even th= most inscnsittv¢ members of the human race. Th~ variety of wildltf6 which thrives in and around ,this aquatic haven boggles the mind...I recall, for instance,, the tiny, wrinkled baby mud turtles, which aw~k. cn from their silent chambers within the muddy banks, and, in blind dCterm~5.ation make their way do~n into %he pcaccful subterfuge of Lake Langton. Here too, .w= find thc noble-crane-, Standing atop an half-submerged tree stump, proudly holding "the catch of thc day" in his glistcning bcak. With nothing to disturb th¢ir ~c,~ce save the heavenly peal from the bclls of historic Our Lady of the L~ke church or the quaint whistle from the timely littlc .freight train which glides along the tracks on; thc opposite shor¢, these creatures find a S=nctuary in Lake Langdon. An approval of Mr. Tessmcr's request would sound the death knell for these 9re- cious creatures. Thixxily, Mr. Tcssmcr's proposed venture is strictly s*lf-serving. City officials h~vc openly ~imittcd that it will bring nc ~ided revenue into the city's coffers. It could, however0 cost the city by driving aw~y its present high tax p~yers and/or require thc' city to .~y out hugc sums in punitive. damages to aggri.cved p~rtics. Our initial reaction to i,M. Tessmer's rc- quest was one of uttcr disbelief. We understand that hc movcd to his Lake Langdon site only very recently. E~.en so, one would wonder how "anyonc, cvcn a ncwcomcr,cco~ld hclp but apprcciate thc privilege of finding such & sanc- tuary in which to live. As 'one rec~nt Wisitor to mother's home observed as shc gazed out the pictux~r window upon a beautiful Lak~ Langdon sunset: "Any- one who can look at the view from this window and not wish to live here, doeSn't dcserve the place." I would venture to say 'that, since the present peaceful and unspoiled ~auty of Lak~ Lan&,ion escapes Mr. T~ssmer's appreciation to the point of his wanting to destroy it for ev%ryone so that he can make a few dollars, hc doesn't deserve to livc here.. Unfortmuat¢ly, some people are lucky enough to get things which they do not deserve. Nonetheless,· that should not give them the right to rob others of 'their rights to appreciate the fine~ aspects of life. Therefore, should Mr. Tcssmer's un/'eason~ble, self-serVing request be granted by your council, we shall make cvery effort to organize the entire communi,ty into a class-action lawsu~.~t. After all, even %hongh local ordinance requires that only those property owners living within three hundred. feet of Mr. Tessmer's property be notified by mail of his zone change' request, c~tainly the negative re?ercussions resulting from such a chang~ will be felt by all Lake Langdon shore dwellers. His motor boats, wind surfers, w~tcr skiers et. al. will cover the entire lakc, spreading their noise and othcr pollutants like ~ vicious plague. Finally, as a resident of thc East Coast, which has thc sordid distingtion of having a callous disregard for Natute, I h~ve always been proud of my Minn- esota roots. For, it hms long been recognized and revered as a state which is able and willing to live in harmony with nature. How sad to think that this distinction is no longer merited. Garrison Keillor, a classmatc with whom I graduated from Anoka High School in 1960, was re~ly' touted as a latter-day Mark Twain in ~ cover story (Timc. magazinc, November 4, 1985). He charms the whole country, including many of my East Coast friends and neigh- bors., with his endearing anecdotes about homespun :~inncsota values. Should this travesty against Minncsota wildlifc and values bc a~rovcd by your council, I shall contact Garrison personally to request that he write ~ little piece of satire on:a real Lakc Wobegon, entitled "City Co=~cil Says Lake Langdon Bc Gone ~." In conclusion, then, my mother and her family implorc each council member to scriously consider thc sad consequences of a zone' change approval, p~ease do not rob this woman of the last remaining ~'~ with her husband Joseph, with whom she spe~t their retirement years cujoying countless hours of pcace and contentment on .Lake L~ngdon. It w~s, if you will, their own "Golden Pond". Allow hc~ and heT neighbors, who h~vc for ~ar~ suppo~t~l thc city of IvI0un~ through high taxes and meticulous care of their propez-tles,f~etain their faith in the "majority x~' of democracy. Mr. Tessme~'s motivation is selfish and wiil, perhaps, benefit him financially --- but, alas, at what price to others? Let bin satisfy his greed om some lcsse~ sho~e--- some place which long ago was dispoiled bcyon& reclaim by others of his ilk..

The quote represents a $500.00 increase over last year (from $7100~ to $7600.). The increase is attributable to a requirement (Minn. Stat. Sec. 6.665) that all governments have a legal compliance audit starting with 1985 audit. A Legal Compli-ance Audit Guide has been prepared, it consists of five sections: 1. Depositories of Public Funds and Public Investments 2. Conflicts of Interest 3. Public Indebtedness 4. Bid Laws 5. Claims and Disbursements The auditor's report must comment on our compliance with the Legal Compliance Audit Guide. I checked with surrounding cities to see if their audit costs were increasing, Wayzata up $750.00, Orono up $1000. In conclusion, the bid from Abdo, Abdo &Eick is competitive with cities simi'lar in size to us. I recommend that we hire them for a fee not to exceed $7600.

This memo is intended to provide "minutes" of the meeting that was held by the Metropolitan Council at Mound City Hall on December 10, 1985. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed planning approach for completing a plan which will identify public access points with reliable parking on Lake Minnetonka. In addition to Metropolitan Council staff, representatives from the Cities of Mound, Minnetrista, Minnetonka, Spring Park and Victoria were present. Mound representatives included Phyllis Jessen and Gary Paulsen from the City Council, Geoff Michael from the Planning Commission and myself. The meeting started with a discussion of the process that is to be used in preparing the plan. The Metropolitan Council representatives stated that they are proposing that the Cities use local resources to propose a plan and that the Metro Council will maintain a coordinating role. They want the communities, either individually, or by zone to define their ability to provide reliable parking spaces consistent with the 1983 Task Force goal of 700 parking spaces which~ was based upon a standard of 1 boat per 20 acres. Discussion occurred on the merits of 700 spaces, however, the philosophy of the Metro Council is to use the recommendation of the 1983 Task Force unless the Cities can document strong evidence that it is unrealistic. The current schedule calls for approval of a plan by April of 1986. This would require that a draft plan be available by January 31, 1986, and public hearings would be scheduled for late February. Minnetrista questioned the time frame by stating that they recently have had trouble getting information from the DNR in a six week period, much less getting a plan together in that time. After additional discussion on the willingness of the DNR to cooperate in the process, the Metro Council staff agreed to contact DNR in order to secure their cooperation and for their timely response to requests for informa tion. Minnetrls~a sugar,zed their e~forts to date which have ~ncluded an attempt to quantify existing reliable parking ~pace~, the review of a new acee~ area, the potential for converting portions of existing marinas for public use either through acquisition or long term lease arrangements and the possible use of fire lanes for shore access. At the conclusion of the meeting, it was agreed that the Metro Council would try to establish a meeting in the Zone 5 area at which time the DNR would be asked to present its findings on each of the 18 sites within the zone.

City & State, December 1985 Pay scales run the' gamut Manager sa]ar es surveyed By DOROTHY PARR RIESEN [--';urvey 'averaged-a~ound 30 days of', [ leave per year, with combined or' WASHINGTON -- The mayor of separate vacation and sick leave ~ Braddock Hills, Pa., population the most widely used. Funeral 3,000, earns a salary of $10,000, a whopping $100,360 less than does the city manager of Dallas. The two salaries are the extremes in a recent survey by the. Interna- .tional City Management Associa- tion on the salaries of city manag- ers/chief administrative officers, county managers/administrators, and government council directors. Salary data as of the beginning of 1985 are presented in a number of perspectives and comparisons, such as 1982 population and types of fringe benefits recorded in similar.' surveys in 1982 and 1984. Generally, the larger the govern- mental unit, the larger the salary. One exception, however, is in Illi- nois, where the mayor of Chicago earns $73,000 as leader of about 3 million residents, but makes $1,600 less than the city manager of neighboring Lake Forest, whose · 1982 population was.16,000. The top county manager/admin- istrator salaries are in. counties on opposite sides of the nation: Dade County, Fla. at $111,196; and Santa Clara County, Calif., $92,000. Lows were in the South and West: $16,150 in Hampton County, S.C., and $16,200 in Mohave County, Ariz. The Houston-Galveston (Texas) Area Council, at $75,000, and the Association of Bay Area Govern- ments (Calif.), at $74,607, led the sa- laries of councils of government directors. Two of the lowest were in Ohio: Tuscaramas County Re- gional Planning Commission, $13,381, and Columbiana County Planning Commission, $13,558. An important element in execu- tive compensation packages -- fringe benefits -- is magnified for public employees whose salaries are subject to public scrutiny. Six types of benefits were sur- veyed: leave; security; housing, moving, automobile and general expenses; insurance; professional development; and memberships and other personal benefits. · Managers responding to the leave was reported most frequently among the less common types, fol- lowed by leave for ICMA activities and compensatory time.. Maternity and paternity leaves, the least -re- ported, are increasing nationwide. · Security benefits t severance pay, and retirement and deferred compensation, plans -- are among the most important in terms of fi- nancial and psychological security for public officers. I As indicated by ICMA surveys, I use of employment agreements has grown to 40.2% in 1982 from 14% in 1974. Availability of severance benefits if involuntarily separated was reported in 53.9% of the cities surveyed, in .40.5% of counties and in 14.3% of council of government directors. ' Most city managers are covered by some type of retirement plan funded by employee and employer contributions, with the city contri- bution toward a state plan averag- ing 9.4% of a manager's salary. Por- tability of retirement plans, partic- ularly where administrators are re- quired to participate in the state employee retirement program, can be a serious problem for managers on the move. · Moving expenses' were paid for 43.1% of the city managers re- sponding, with almost three-quar- ters of those reimbursed in full. Housing benefits varied from a · home purchase loan (the most eom- mon) to provision of a house, often with paid utilities, to nominal rent for housing provided by the juris- diction. Most managers recei~,ed some type of automobile benefit. The vast majority have use of govern- ment-owned vehicles, others have cars leased or purchased for them by their employers, and some re- ceive a monthly cash allowance. General expense reimbursement for meals, hotels and travel is nearly universal and is usually 100%. Some managers received an annual lump sum for out-of-pocket expenses (ranging from $1,800 to $6,000), many with no voucher re- quirements. · Virtually 100% of local govern- ment officials are covered by medi- cal insurance paid for by the em- ployer and have considerable flexibility in choice of insurance programs and coverage levels. Less than one-third report separate medical coverage for dependents; where this is provided, the local · government on average pays 60% 65% of the premium. · Conference attendance.is onei - of the most commonly, providedI benefits -- 90% reported the .localt · government paid membership dues :and conference expenses. Only about half of the managers re- ported reimbursement for tuition, · and educational'expenses. · 'Benefits.familiar to many pri-[ rate-sector executives are gradu-, ally beginning to be offered to some local government managers. Of those surveyed, service club mem- berships were the most common, .while memberships in health or country dubs lal~ged: 4.7% in cities, · 2.5% in counties and 4.3% in court- cils of governments. Innovations reported in personal benefits-included computer terminals and modem for personal as well as business use, and college tuition loans for a manager's chil- :dren. Expenses toward obtaining a flying license were paid for one manager. Another manager reports a bonus program that allows the mayor to enrich the manager's · paycheck in whatever amount and frequency he chooses, thus allow- lng ,the council to reward him for specific contributions without hay- ing to. take separate public action each time. · ITletropolitan I:lrea ITlanac ement I:l 'oclation of the Twin City Area December 5, 1985 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATING IN JOINT COMPENSATION STUDY William S.

Please be advised that we expect to have the study results to each jurisdiction by December 31, 1985. Our study by design calls for a significant amount of employee input in both the description and valuing of work. To date, almost 3,000 of our 10,000 employees have committed a substantial amount of time to this effort. Unfortunately, the logistics of such a project are complex and the time frame longer than originally anticipated. A few of our representative employee groups are still struggling with the establishment of values for certain areas of work. Rather than force a decision by them which might be inaccurate or diminish the ownership they might feel for the results, we have opted to spend the extra time. We understand and apologize for the problems this will cause your office in reporting to the Legislature. We are committed to accomplishing the major thrust of the legislation by establishing reasonable pay relationships among all our employees. Our participating jurisdictions have been advised of"the time requirements you are working with and will attempt to return the r~Jports to your office as soon as possible after receipt of the data on December 31.
