PUBLIC HEARING: ON THE TOWN.SQUARE PROJECT, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, AND THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN The presentation was made by Saul Smiley, Architect; Mark Koegler, City Planner; and Ernie Clark of Miller & Schroeder, Inc. Mr. Smiley explained that the request was for the acquisition of the property identi- fied today as Town Square; it is that property bordered by Commerce Boulevard, Church Road, Lynwood Boulevard on the South and a line short of Fern Lane. Es- sentially request is that a tax increment finance district be considered for the purpose of making possible acquisition of a unified site for Town Square which is to be the center of shops, Doctors Clinic, bank and offices. This project has pro- gressed to a point where the Mound Clinic, the Mound State Bank, Thrifty Drug and other local business people have spoken for space in the center. Roughly it will be about 55,000 square feet and consist of that in the spaces he's identified and some office space. Smiley ran through the site plan and the contemplated use for the site as well as identifying the parcels to be acquired. He reviewed that the purpose of the Tax Increment Financing District makes possible cleared property 148 July 24, 1984 which might otherwise be very difficult to come by or to acquire in its entirety and were that the case, there would not be ~he opportunity to develop the center as now being proposed. It gives the ppportunity to. develop a total center and to proceed with the plan. as has been set out for the Community. They have followed the business development plan by the way of development of the property itself-- landscaping and setbacks. Hopefully it may also serve as the catalyst that per- haps is necessary to the Community to get the r~development o~ the commercial area: underway. He explained they are acquiring approRimately 3½ acres and the Bank will 'be more or less an island.toward Commerce Boulevard with parking surrounding it with the Clinic to th~ North, shops in the center and the Thrifty Drug anchoring the southern portion ~f the center; to the rear, the service drive goes all the way through'the site and in front of.the shops', another drive goes from Church through to Lynwood. The Bank has its o~n drive-in which i~ served off of Commerce and exits back onto Commerce or the cars can drive through and .park in the center. The site is rather heavily landscaped with the intent of following the plan the. City has set out and hopefully this will remove it from the conventional centers as we know them that are a sea of asphalt and.parked cars; This will act as a buffer and really enhance the total Center and 'screen the traffic. Charon stated the Planning Commi. ssion had question on the service road and asked if any change had been made. Smiley responded that the setback to the service road had been widened to get the retaining wall.further away by the abutting property; they will probably taper down to the service road which has been moved forward. Also he stated they do have parking for about 200.cars and they are utilizi'ng compact parking as part of the allowance in the parking count. Planner Mark Koegler stated that in the Council packet were really two reports in one: the development program and the tax increment financing plan. He explained the development program reall.y deals.with the physical aspects of the redevelopment project itself and many of those details, Saul has covered. One thing necessary strictly from the Planning and Zoning standpoint, would be the rezoning of a small parcel of land in the Northeast sector of this site changing the zoning from R-3 to B-1 District. This would have to go through the normal process for rezoning-- through the Planning Commission and Council with the appropriate public hearing. He stated the 'district objectives were established and reviewed by the'HRA. Basically the overall goal was to strengthen the existing business base, to redevelop sub- standard and inefficient areas and attract new business to the Community. Site plan itself allows for clearance of buildings within the district; as you are well aware there are several commercial uses operating right now, 2 residential .structures, the old Tonka garage facility--all those under this proposal would be acquired, razed and the land made avail'able for construction of the new facilities. The City's [nvolyement would include costs.for 1) property acquisition, 2) re- location expenses and 3] to cover administration and legal expenses. The developer would be responsible for all construction of the new center as proposed in accord- ance with guidelines and approvals enacted by.the City. In looking at the cost projections for what this new facil.ity'will run, the City can conservatively use the numbers accepted by Hennepin County shown on Figure 10 of $45 per square foot for commercial construction. In all likelihood, costs are going to be higher. Current assessed value of the property within the boundaries is $205,268. The second half of this report deals more with the Tax Increment Finance plan it- self. I should indicate all components are strictly specified within the State Statutes. Again, the Tax Increment Finance Plan was proposed to address the fact 149 July 24, 1~84 that this has'been an attempt to strengthen exlstlng business 6ase through re- development.of substandard areas and to try to attract new businesses. We are projecting the total cost of land purchased, relocation and miscellaneous ex- penses and administrative and legal' expenses of clearing the land would be about $1,120,9OO. --Paulsen asked' the Planner, Mark Koegler, to review the points of the legal notice. After which, Ko.egler j'ntroduced Ernie Clark.of Miller and Schroeder, Inc. · Erni'e Clark stated ~hat.he has worked with. Mark Koegler and Saul Smiley ex- changing information relat|~e to .this project..The project cost is shown in Figure 12 of the Tax Increment Analysts,.as approximately $1,125,000 with two .years of capitalized interest of $250,000 making a total of $1,375,000 of Tax Increment Bonds that would be required. The tax increments will provide the revenues required to pay ~he principal'and interest, on the bonds. He'explained It's going to be 1.986 before the City is. going to Feceive.any of the estimated tax increments.. In the meantime when. you sell bonds, you have to pay interest; these bond payments will come from the capitalized interest. Mr. Clark then pointed out the debt service requirements, the estimated tax increments avail- able, the capitalized interest costs.and the. projected tax increment revenues. The first principal payment would not be made until 1987. Mr. Clark started his..analys[s with an assessed valuation of $~,052,0OO and added i'n 'an inflation factor of only 4%. Based on 105%.of the starting assessed valuation, the Town Square wi'il need $35,000 a year in supplemental land pay- ments topay off the interest and. principal.of the.tax increment bonds .... When that $35,OOO comes, in, then you're going to make an additional 40 or 50,000 dollars in investment funds before expenses come against it. The interest rate used has been 9 3/4%. He stated that the bonds should be able to be paid off bY January 1, 2003. The Mayor summarized that as'he understands it, the projection will work without the use of any-Municipal or City funding. Clark'stated this should carry it's own; he's sure it will not require the HRA to levy any mills on the City. He has worked with various cities and they've all worked---needs to be planned properly. The Mayor introduced the three HRA members that were present (there are 5 members on .the HRA Board): Jim Regan, Eldo Schmidt and Don Ulri.ck and thanked them for the time they have directed and given to this project. The Mayor then asked the City Attorney prior to opening the public hearing to talk about the'technical financing requirements as a whole, what the role of the HRA is and what the role of the Council is, etc. The City Attorney, Curt Pearson, stated the reason he smiled when Ernie Clark indicated the plan's going to'be amended was because the plan does indeed in- clude a deficit for many years~ That deficit was handled through a footnote which indicated they were to be absorbed by the developer or through increased land payments. Mr. Clark indicated that in the area of finance analysis, the sum of $28,250 a year should be increased to $35,000 per year; so when you get to that phase, that section of the plan should be amended to meet the numbers indicated. '~ 150 July 24, 1984 Pearson explained that it should be emphasized to the people that the process the Council is going through tonight is for a housing redevelopment project. The City Council is acting only-from a standpoint of reviewing what the HRA has recommended to them. It started there and will be implemented by the HRA. The plans that are before the. Council tonight have been transmitted to the local school district and the County Commission to ascertain what kind of effect the loss of these taxing revenues will have on the other taxing districts. This is an opportunity for the public to ask any questions they may have be- cause the bonds whi'ch are going to be. issued, if the Council and the HRA go ahead.with this, will'be G.O. bonds which means that everybody in the City of Mound, for all intent and purposes, will be guaranteeing those bonds and if there is a deficit of any kind in the future, there will have to be a tax levy. There are some questions that I think the Council and the HRA will have to ask of the people who are doing.the developing. They are: "What entity will we be dealing with? Who will the City deal with when we talk about a developer? Who will sign the developer's agreement? Who will the City sell the land? Who is going to guarantee the tax increments so, if you take. 19 X $35,000, then there should be no deficits for.the taxpayers of Mound to pick up?" He stated those are all crucial questions that have been raised both by the City Council and the HRA. The City Attorney had no other comments Other than to say if the Council approves the plan tonight and sends it back to the HRA, the HRA will'then determine how they wi'Il implement it. That will probab]y mean that the first thing would be to sit down wi. th the land owners and.developers and come:.to a developer's agree- ment.. The last one his firm drafted was extremely long and complex'to protect the interests'.of both parties and the public and the guarantees.have to be built in. At that pol. nt.when you have an agreement with somebody'to resell the land, you can then start negotiating with the property owners to acquire the land and pay the relocation benefl, ts. He emphasized to both the HRA members and the City Council that if we can't acquire through negotiations the property and if we have to condemn, then the estimates of what those costs are, could vary rather dra- matical]y. .Thinks it is important to build into any agreement costs which a Commission might award. The C~ty basically is only going to project this $1~125,000 plus the. capitalized interest.,.talking about a bond issue of $1,375, 000., so if we'can't, do the job withi~ those numbers, we're going to have to have some kind of support in the agreement to pick up 'costs over that. The Mayor opened the public hearing. The following pe'rsons responded with com- ments in favor or against: Betty Sabin, 5540 Lynwood~- Against the project. There are 6 related adults livtng in the house who don't.want to have to move. They rent from Mr. Bickman and don't see where they're going to. fi. nd another house that cheap ($250 a month). The City Attorney advised that they would be entltled to relocation benefits if and.when the HRA takes the'property and it is the responsibility of the HRA to pay reasonable expenses for up to 4 years for suitable housing. This is under State and Federal Statutes. Mrs. Sabin stated they were not notified of this meeting. The Mayor advised that the notice was published. Ken Romness of the Mound Medical Clinic - wanted to go on record personally and for the employees of Clinic that they were highly in favor; have worked for this fo, tHol 151 July 24, 1984 well over two years; area is deteri0ting and 'they are very anXious to build a new clinic.. Pat Furlong, 5044 Edgewater Drive, has lived in Mound 18 years. All for project. Stated whatever we can do for Mound, shops in Mound, proud of the School and area, Pond arena - all big plus for Mound.. Can't help but believe if this goes through, the buildings that are vacated~ shifts will be thinking of development out to Mound. 1OO~ in favor. On the question of tax increment, even if it did cost, I'd pay it. Edgewater Drive was such a dump street, I didn't care how much it cost to improve, I'm glad to pay it.. The Island is so nice compared to what it looked like years ago. Mike Mueller, Mueller Pharmacy & somewhat involved with Tom Thumb - He supports the project. Sandy Busche, 5541 Church Road, had question.about who would be buying the property if a resident didn't go for what they were offered. If condemned, is it the City of Mound with right of eminent domain or the HRA that is buying it? The City Attorney stated that if property is condemned, owner would be entitled to whatever damages there are for the loss of the property, she is also entitled to relocation benefits. Actually,ii'~HR~".' would negotiate with her on property. · The City Manager explained her options to have property re-evaluated by independent appraiser if not satisfied with the valuation of property'. Willard Hilliard, Canary Lane, believes'this is one opportunity we should not let slip through our hands to make Mound a more viable shopping community - whole hearted- ly in favor of project. Mr. Sabln stated he didn't understand why so much in favor of Town project when there is no employment in town. Stated Tonka's gone and next April, Advance is leaving Spring Park. Questioned WhyCit~i~erested. in putting up millions of taxpayers' money when what we should be concerned about is employment in this town. He travels to St. Paul by bus in order to secure employment. Rather have job here. The Mayor responded that City is equally concerned about employment in the area; very interested in economic development; but can't guarantee success. The City Manager asked Doug Stark number of Thrifty Drug employees ~iI8, Mound Clinic employs 30, also Bank employs 30. Steve Smith directed two questions to Mr. Clark: 1) Of those towns y6u listed you were involved with in tax increment programs, were there any programs where you had to go to the public trough? and 2) What are the scenarios that could arise in Mound where you'd have to 'go to the public trough? Ernie Clark responded that if you don't set up a tax increment district, etc. like we're doing here tonight, it's doomed from the beginning. He stated that there has never been a call on anybody to pay the taxes that he or his Company has been involved in. He stated there's always a scenario--there is possibility for a dis- aster that nobody can foresee; in that case, he didn't know what would happen. Dr. Byron Petersen stated he's Officed in Mound the past 31 years and invested heavily in his location, but he's not a bUilding owner. He is in favor of the Town Square project; feelsit would be a'good thing for Mound, its citizens and the business community. He has keen assured by a representative of the City that he would be properly compensated and by a representative of the Bank that he would be able to purchase one of the buildings at a fair price. Based on this, he whole- heartedly supports this project. 152 July 24, 1984 Doug Stark of Thrifty Drug Store wanted to go on record as supporting the project. There being no more comments offered, the Mayor closed the public hearing. The City Attorney had prepared two resolutions. Paulsen moved and Peterson seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION # 84-107 A RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE AND ESTABLISH A REDEVELOPMENT' DISTRICT NO. 1 PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 462.411 TO 462.585, INCLUSIVE, AND SECTION 273.73, SUB- DIVISION 10, OF THE MINNESOTA STATUTES AND TO ESTABLISH A TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 273.71 TO 273.78, I.NCLUSIVE, OF THE MINNESOTA STATUTES (CHAPTER 322, LAWS OF MINNESOTA 1979) AND ADOPTING A REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND FINANCE PLAN FOR SAID REDEVELOPMENT AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT The roll call vote was unanimously in favor.

Motion. carried. AMENDMENT TO CITY CODE CHANGING FENCE ORDINANCE AND MAKING IT PART OF SECTION 23, ZONING CODE The Building Official explained the old ordinance had poor examples of exhibits and diagrams and there were certain inadequacies; also wanted it to be integrated into the Zoning Code. The Planner reviewed minor changes: In new ordinance, a front yard fence may be~48 inches high; defines fences off of a retaining wall; ordinance does specifically permit wooden or chain link fences and does define what a wooden fence is. Clause 7 makes it easier because interior fences under 72 inches in height may be constructed without getting'a permit. Building permits are required because it was determined it was only way to have reasonable control; the Planning Commission suggested a flat fee for fence permits be set up by the Council. The Planner stated the intent of the old ordinance is still within the framework of the new one. Jessen questioned if barbed wire is allowed in commercial. Commercial district should be added to Section 23.41~.5(2) allowing barbed wire in industrial or commercial district. The Mayor opened the public hearing on the proposed fence ordinance. No one present had any comments or suggestiQns. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Paulsen moved and Jessen seconded the following: ORDINANCE # ~65 AN .ORDINANCE CHANG!'NG THE FENCE ORDINANCE AND ADDING ORDINANCE AS"SECTION 23.415 ENTITLED "FENCES"; REPEALING CERTAIN CITY ORDINANCES, SECTIONS 23.407(6) AND 55.17 The vote was unanimously in favor.

PUBLIC HEARING: DELINQUENT UTILITY BILLS - JULY The Mayor opened the public hearing on July.Delinquent Utility Bills and asked if there was anyone present who wanted to speak, regarding the delinquent utility bills. John Hill who lives on Bluebird Lane on Three Points stated he owns a rental prop- erty on Dorchester. His problem is that in February of this year he received a bill for 159,O00 gallons of water. Since then, the usage has been 11,0OO to 15,OO0 average. The next month the usage.was back to 18,OO0 gallons; he's talked to the Water Department and can't understand.how high usage occurred. The City Manager stated the Water Department was called out and there were a number of serious leaks. The tenant had a plumber fix those leaks and the water usage re- -turned to its present level. He doesn'.t know why the owner didn't know about the plumber. The meter was not malfunctioni.ng. The Mayor stated that fo.r the Counci.1 to arbitrarily adjust a bill is unfair to the other users.

The 156 July 24, 1984 dark green areas are the remaining right-of-way within the 60 feet that would not be built upon. Light green areas are City owned parcels not required in new align- ment. There are existing utilities in a part of Lynwood Boulevard and he believes these end up in the green area of Town Square, so that would work out fine. He stated that if the City intends to assess any of it, assessment policies would have to be worked out and public hearings held. If all is.to'be paid out of State Aid Funds and none assessed, as he understands it, the City doesn't need to hold a public hearing on it. He reviewed the mOnies that City presently had and what they are expecting to get less bond payment;would give.City approximately $251,000 to use for financing project. Preliminary estimate is for $213,OO0. Depending on acquisition costs, looks like it would be real close. Once this alignment is approved by the Stat~, it can't be changed. Acquisition can start once approved; but that could take 6-8 months. He reviewed what would need to be acquired. 'Side- walk can be decided before final construction. Charon asked about installing'flashing lights. Cameron stated the State does not have any projected cos. ts for mechanical devices and he doubts that they would pay for any since its not in their projected costs. Jessen thinks we should have for safety. The Mayor asked the Planner about the possibillty of tieing the Town Square and the realignment of Lynwood Boulevard together. Mark responded that they were on record at this time as being concerned with Phase I. They are aware of the Lyn- wood realignment proposal. John stated it looks like they have incorporated the realignment in their.proposal. Peterson moved:and dessen seconded the foli'owing resolution: RESOLUTION # 84-116.

AMENDMENT TO CITY CODE - CHAPTER 51.20, WEAPONS A CONCEALING OF WEAPONS Police Chief Harrell was present and stated that it was a suggestion made by the former Prosecuting Attorney to change Mound's ordinance governing weapons and the concealing of weapons. The proposed changes would remove the requirement of proving intent in order to convict a violator, thus making the prosecution easier. The Council discussed this ordinance amendment in detail because of the language "Bowie knives or any knives resembling the Bowie 165 August 14, 1984 knife" which they felt could include knives that sportsmen might carry under a rain jacket. There were several other language questions that needed clarification so they referred this proposal back to the Staff and the Prosecuting Attorney to rewrite and clarify. No action was taken.

PROPOSAL T,O PURCHASE NEW CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON BEHALF OF CBD The City Manager explained that ever since he has been here Vern Anderson has been after him to purchase new Christmas decorations. The current decorations have been around for many years, have been stored in the Anderson Building and are looking rather tacky. He has gotten a quotation from Vaughn's to purchase 22 new decorations and pole trimmings for $4410.00 which includes a trade i'n of the old decorations. If the old decorations were not traded in the cost would be 1/3 higher and Vaughn's agreed to take them because they were purchased from them. The proposal for the purchase of these decorations is that the City pay the initial cost and then build it into the CBD Parking cost over the.next 5 years. The CBD Parking Committee met on August l st and recommended approvai of the purchase.~. Mr. Anderson stated that the businessmen downtown all agreed that new decorations are needed. The new decorations will allow decorating from the Post Office to the intersection of County Road 110 and from the Arena to the .166 August lq, 198q Williams Store on County Road 110. A future goal would be to decorate all the way from Bartlett Blvd. and County Road 110 to Three Points Blvd. and County Road 110. Peterson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to authorize the purchase of Christmas decorations from Vaughn's at a cost of $4,q10, including the trade in of the old decorations, and to charge the costs to the CBD Assessment District over the next 5 years.

The Council discussed Mr. Husband's various duties and suggested that we try bringing the risk management duties back in-house for a year to see if the Staff can handle it, 'thus saving $4,800. No action was taken. STOP SIGN REQUEST AT CORNER OF HALSTEAD LANE -& WESTEDGE BLVD, The City Manager explained that one of the items that came out of the Woodcrest neighborhood meeting was installing a stop sign on Westedge Blvd. at the corner of Halsted Lane.

AT HALSTEAD LANE The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT FROM DICK ~ MARGIE RINES The City Manager showed the Council a letter and a copy of a check that was received by the Mound Police Dept. for their excellent response to a family crisis.

The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. SEWER REPAIR BIDS The City Manager explained that the City requested 2 bids to repair an area of sewer that runs north and south between Wilshire Blvd. and Bedford Road. We received the following: 167 August 14, 1984 Widmer Bros. Westonka Sewer & Water $3,550 No Bid (too busy to take job) The Council discussed the fact that they do not have two bids and should and decided to have the City Manager get another bid and then he could take the lowest bid.

APPOINTMENT OF CITY pROSECUTING ATTORNEY The City Manager explained that Minnetrista has apparantly decided to keep Popham, Haik (Mr. Radio) for their Prosecuting Attorney. St. Bonifacius is still waiting to see what Mound does. Because originally when we started this process the three cities wanted to stay together and have the same prosecutor to save money and time, the City Manager sent out a letter to a number of law firms asking that they let us know if there was any interest in representing ail three cities. We have received about 12 letters of interest including Popham, Haik and Jim Larson who was appointed interim prosecutor. Mayor Polston felt there was an advantage to having the same firm do the prosecutions that do the City's general work. Polston moved and Paulsen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION ~8~-123 RESOLUTION APPOINTING JIM LARSON PROSECUTING ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OF MOUND The vote was unanimously in favor.

The reason he has not acted on the original resolution is due to excessive interest rates and the recession.

(36 square feet) The Sign Ordinance draft Section 6.05 for the B-1 Zoning District allows signage based on the wall area of the building at 15 percent. The wall area of the dentist's office is approximately (20 ft. by .9 ft.) 180 square feet, not including the facade of 5 feet by 9 feet, at 15 percent of the area equalling 27 square feet. If the facade is included, the square footage is 225 square feet at 15 percent of the area equalling 34 square feet. Comments: The sign ordinance draft does not include a definition of the wall to be considered. It is my opinion that the wall area should include the building facade alongside the.structure that is only part of a covered walkway to the building. Recommend: Staff recommends that the sign placed to the building frontage of ' Commerce Boulevard could be approved with the size maximum of 34 'square feet to be in cOnformance with the sign code draft. The wall square footage was supplied by City staff and not by the appli- cant. This will be referred to the City Council on August 28, 1984.

Furst 1932 Shorewood Lane Mound, MN. 55364 Phone: 472-5053 The applicant has a very good explafiation of. his request attached to his application. Resolution 83-221 is attached. The detached accessory building he is planning to construct will conform to the ordinance setbacks. The existing boathouse/beachouse is his concern; to allow it to remain as is. The Zoning Code Section 2~408(7) states "In all districts, principal structures shall be 50 feet or more from the mean high water line when the property abuts a lake or stream. No structure, except piers, and docks, shall be placed at an elvation such that the lowest floor, including basement floors, is less than three (3) feet above the highest known water level." The Zoning Code Section 23.407 (5) requires 4 foot side yards for accessory buildings and 4 foot rear yard setback. Comments: The existing accessory building has no floor elevation to consider above the floodplain of 929.5 N.G.V.D. as there is a gravel base under the building. The other considerati6n: should be that the neighbor could construct within 4 feet of this building, thereby not having proper fire resistive materials between the structures; the present owner was aware of the conditions set further upon purchasing of the property. Recommend: Staff recommends that the structure be moved to within 4 feet of the lakeshore and side yard property lines:or provide a one hour fire resistive wall assembly parallel to the lot line and if a floor is installed at a fut~e date, the floor elevation be set at the minimum of 933.5 NGVD and recorded by a Registered L~nd Surveyor and _fil'e~ with the City of Mound. This will be referred to the City Council on Aug. 28, 1984. The abutting neighbors have been notified. Case'No. 84-34'9 4 foot.side yard variance for 1932 Shorewood Lane Lot 9 and Lot ~, except 'the NW 15 feet, Block 2, Shadywood Point Allan N. Fur.st was pre. sent. The Building Official explained that on.December 20, 1983., the City. Council approved a subdivision of land for Mr. Beasley and under It'em "C", it stated that any structural alterations would require a variance approval before any permits were issued. Also there was a.parking a~reement. The applicant is .propo§ing to put conforming'28 X 30 foot garage on property. The nonconfoFming boathouse was discussed. It is in'gbod'condition; there is no floor in structure. Reese'moved and Meyer seconded a motion'to approve construction of the garage' recognizing' the nonconforming setback of the boathouse, The vote was Weiland and Byrnes aga'inst; all others in favor. Motion carried. Weiland voted against because'he feels'that if it Ps possible to get property into conformance, it should be ~one; alio stated that the.building code should be enforced--require having a. fire wall between propertie~.

Will granting of the variance be materially detrimental to property in the same zone, or to the enforcement of this ordinance? .No. Planning and Zoning Commission C~ty of Mound I am requesting a variance from setback requirements for an existing boat house in order to get a building permit for a garage. The proposed garage will conform to all codes. The boat house variance is required by section C of Mound resolution 83-221. The subdivision'granted by resolution 83-221 moved the property line to within inches of the boat house on Mr. Lou Beasley's property.-M~. Beasley subsequently sold the property to me. The boat house is a valuable asset to the property, pro- viding convenient storage for all the paraphernalia associated with water sports that would otherwise clutter the lake shore. Structurally, the building is in very good condition with treated wood lower walls, a dry gravel floor, and a stone rip-rap shoreline. It is set into the embankment, keeping height to a minimum, and the log siding matches the main house. Moving or dis- mantaling the boat house would entail considerable effort and expense involving the structure, and would require fill and landscaping to prevent erosion of the lake~.~ho~e. Section D of resolution 83-221 required Mr. Beasley to arrange~ parking agreement with the neighbor, a copy of which is attached. Essentially it is an easement for off street parking until a garage is built or until February 1, 1986. If no garage is built and the easement expires, the property will have only 215 square feet of off street parking. The resolution which created a buildable lot is the only reason the boat house is under question at this time. The granting of this variance will allow the continued use of the boat house and insure that the necessary off street parking will be permanently avail- able.

Sub.#168 Request: Variance in house size & setback Zoning District:.R-1 Applicant: Carl R. Hanson P.O. Box 1897 St. Paul, MN. 55111 Phone #854-7864 The applicant is requesting to do structural modifications and repairs to an existing structure at 5932 Beachwood Road. In the process of obtaining this property and tryihg to determine what .necessary repairs must be made to ::put the structure in livable condition, it was found that structural repairs are necessary such as, but not limited to, frost footings. Staff has not reviewed any construction blueprints as of yet. The Zoning Code 'for an existing non-conforming structure in residentiall.units states "23.404 (8) Alterations may be made to a buildng containing lawful non-conforming residential units when they will improve the livability thereof, provided they will not increase the number of dwelling units or bulk of the building, with the recommendation and approval of the City Council. Comments: The structure will not be expanded. It is an undersized structure with a non-conforming lot.but it will be used as a single family dwelling. The surveyor called to affirm that the first floor elevation is above the floodplain elevation for Lake Langdon of 93~.2~ NGVD required; house is at 938.31. The survey can not be submitted for another week. I will review the submitted survey at the Planning Commission meeting. Recommend: Staff recommends that the present structure be brought up to current Uniform Building Code standards for the struc- ture, mechanical, energy, plumbing, electrical. The Planning Com- mission may want to consider tabling the request until plans and/ or a construction statement is submitted. The hardship is to afford the owner reasonable use of his property. This will be referred to the City Council on Aug. 28, 1984. Abutting neighbors have been notified.

There were inspections made during the construction which did not involve, by definition, struc- tural alterations as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, Section 23.302 (107) "Structural Alteration - Any change, other than incidental re- pairs, which would affect the supporting members of a building, such as bearing walls, columns, beams, girders, or foundations". On June 26, 1984, Carl R. Hanson obtained a building permit to re- place five windows, to replace flooring, kitchen cabinets, insulate the floor and repair the electrical for a stated value of $5,000. Again, none of the listed items involve structural alterations. After Mr. Hanson ge(into the construction as listed, he discovered some rotting of the floor system and no frost footings under the struc- ture and also problems with the fireplace and framing members. I then gave Rob Amundson, his contractor, a stop work order and told him that Mr. Hanson would have to file for a variance as the structure is nonconforming in the building floor area (453.6 square feet) and the setbacks to the lot line. The Zoning Ordinance for nonconforming ases - Section. 23.404(7) "Normal maintenance of a building or other structure containing or related to a lawful non-conforming use is per- mitted, including necessary non-structural repairs and incidential alterations which do not extend or intensify the non-conforming use". The Zoning Ordinance allows for maintenance of the structure without structural repairs - Section 23.404(8) "Alterations may be made to a building containing lawful non-conforming residential units when they will improve the livability thereof, provided they will not increase the number of dwelling units or bulk of the building, with the recom- mendation and approval of the City Council" Section 23.404(2) "Nothing in this Chapter shall prevent restoring of a structure to safe condition when said structure is declared unsafe by the City, providing further that the necessary repairs shall not constitute more than 50% of the fair market value of such structure" leads me to believe that structural repairs should be related to the current estimated market value of the structure. It is presently valued at $26,200. In my opinion, it is overly valued, but the value of the necessary repairs to bring structure to minimum year around living standard should be considered by the City Council. The Planning Commission has denied his request at the August 13, 1984 meeting.

You informed me that the Planning Commission has determined that they would like to hold the public hearings required in the various sections of the Mound zoning code. At the present time, the City Council holds the public hearings after mailed and published notice, and the Planning Commission has been mailing notices for approximately six months and has now determined that they would like the total responsibility. In reviewing the various sections of the zoning code, we have agreed that under Section 23.503 and under state statutes, the Planning Commission may be given the authority to handle the public hearings. I have also informed you that if it is the desire of the City Council to make such change, then the zoning ordinance should be reviewed to pick up all those sections which currently place that responsibility on the Council and change that to the Planning Commission. The change in the zoning code requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission, public hearing by the City Council, and adoption in ordinance form. If the City Council is in agreement that the Planning Commission should hold the public hearings, then I suggest that they by motion or resolution direct the City staff to review the zoning code and refer it back to the Planning Commission for a formal recommendation of change in the various sections. The matter will then come back to the Council in the future in the form of an ordinance amendment and a public hearing can be held. If you have any questions concerning anything contained' in this letter, please advise. ~ truly/~u~ ~-'Et'~di"-s" -A. Pearson, City Attorney CAP:ih BILLS .....

This request will be considered by the City Council on August 28, 1984 agenda. 0 Case No. 84-347 17.5 Foot Front Yard Variance at 46lO Kildare Road Lots 6 and'39,'B.lock ll, Seton Gordon Wolf was present. The Building Official explained that Mr. Wolf purchased the-home on Kildare and that he would like to remodel and make it a year around home~ The present lot size meets the requirements for the Zoning District; the configuration of the lot is "L" shaped. The.present structure is 2.5 feet from the right-of-way. The City converted two platted lots to the west of this property to make the street causing this hardship. The Zoning Ordinance requires two front yard set- backs (20 feet to.west and 20 feet to south and 6 feet to the side property line) The applicant is planning to'do some extensive remodeling including adding an open 8 foot wide by 30 foot.deck. The'zoning Code allows repairs to nonconform- ing structures to improve.the livability, but does not allow expansion unless the City Council approves. In order t° make that'a year a[ound home, it would take ~ a great deal of expense and effort for'him to put in insulation, etc. and do some structural repairs to the building. 'His intention is to bring entire ~struc- ture up to code. Applicant is working with his brother to get a structural list of repairs or blueprint. Reese asked about time'frame for remodeling. Applicant doesn't have a blueprint. It was questioned what is the nature of the alterations? and if there is anything the Planning Commission can do until we find out'? Byrnes moved to table until we have a plan to see. Michael stated we're just talking about a 17~ variance setback that the City created by putting the street through. City Manager stated applicant needs: some direction from the Commission before going.to expense of blueprints. The value of the structure was discussed; whether it would be better to start over. Wolf stated there are frost footings and he would llke a chance to bring the structure up to code. Reese asked if the building is structurally sound? The Building Official stated foundation walls and supports for floors and rafters do not meet the span tables for allowable spans for construction, but would probably stand for 20 years. Reese seconded the motion to support plan to table. He would like to see at least a hand drawn sketch with rough cost estimates; he thought Planning Commis- sion would look at this in two weeks if applicant is ready with this information. The vote on the motion to tabl.e was: Michael opposed; all others in favor. Motion carried. Planning Commission Minutes August 13, 1984 - Page 3 0 Case No..8~-348 Sign Variance Permit for 2316 Commerce Boulevard S. 29.3 feet of Lot 4, McNaught's Addition to Mound Steve Ziebarth of Prowood Plus was present. The Building Official'explained the applicant is requesting an approximately 3 X 12 foot wall mounted sign (34~ square foot sign); wall area is 20 X 9 feet and there is a 5 X 9 foot section off to the south (facade for walkway roof area). Presen'tly, there are two sign there which will be removed. Ziebarth stated the sign will be PUt on the north section on the 14 foot span of brick between the windows. It will be a sand blasted sign and he showed the Commission a sample. The Building OffiCial has recommended allowing the 15~ of wall area or about 34 square .feet. Michael moved and Meyer secOnded..a .motion to approve a 34 square foot sign. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. This will be on the 'City Council Agenda of August 28, 1984. Case'No. 84-34'9 4 foot.side yard variance for 1932 Shorewood Lane Lot'9 and Lot 8, except 'the NW ]5 feet, Block 2, Shadywood Point Allan N. Fur.st was present. The Building Official explained that on. December 20, 1983, the City Council approved a subdivision of land for Mr. Beasley and under Item "C", it stated that any structural alterations would require a variance approval before any permits were issued. Also there was a'.parking agreement. The applicant is propo§ing to put conforming'28 X 30 foot garage on property. The nonconformir,. boathouse was discussed. It is in'good"condition~ there is no floor in structure. Re,se moved and Meyer s~conded a motion to apProve construction of the garage' recognizing the nonconforming setback of the boathouse. The vote was Weiland. and Byrnes aga'inst; all others in favor. Motion carried? Weiland voted against because-he feels'that if it is possible to get property into conformance, it should be done; also stated that the.building code should be enforced--require having a fire wall between properties. This will' go to the city Council on August 28, 1984. Case No. 84-350 Wetlands-Permit and Request for Approval for Exterior Storage on property adjacent to 4760 Bedford 'Road; Lots 11 thru 22, Block 14, Wych~ood Michael J. Banicki was present. The Building Official exPla'ined that Mr. Banicki was before the Planning Commis- sion for a couple of items. Her recommendation has to do with the request for the exterior storage. This evening's handout from McCombs Knutson had to do with the filling of the designated wetlands and map. The Building Official talked to Mr. Banicki.back in 1982 and this was just before the Wetlands Ordinance was adopted and'he was talking of doing.some grading at the time. The appl'icant has filled into the designated wetlands west of his home and he is requesting he be'allowed to leave the fill and to do additional grading his property; also he wan%s the exterior storage on his vacant property to be allowed to remain as well as the storage on the unimproved right-of-way. She Planning Commission Minutes August 13, 1984 - Page 4 reviewed his survey and the wetlands map, area filled, the filling and grading he'd ..- like to do, retaining wall, etc. The Engineer has recommended that the fill be re-J moved or another area dredged to keep the capacity of the wetlands the same and I 1 also the City is asking that he tell us where the excavated material would be going J and erosion control is needed to prevent material from washing into the ponds untilL turf has been established on disturbed areas. These items would be listed on any wetlands permit. Michael questioned .why Cameron's preference for removing the fill. The Building Official commented it was put there without obtaining a permit. The applicant stated that he never would have bought the land if he'd known all this; land was nothing but a dump; he's been hauling snowmobile frames, bedsprings, mattresses and debris out of the swamp. Meyer stated it looks like he's trying to make it look nice and asked if Commission could give him some guidance so its legal. The Chairman asked if anyone present had any comments. Lynn Rumpca of 4750 Bed- ford stated Banicki was doing everything right; not trying to destroy the wetlands; was cleaning them up. Mr. Banicki stated he wants to make it suitable'so he can mow. it; the stagnant water stinks in the summer time and, in future years, he may apply-.for.a dredging permit and put an aerator in with some fish. Discussed that 931 is the line of vegetation and that it was hard to determine amount of fill added; most of it's north of the retaining wall. Byrnes moved a motion to disallow the fill and asked the removal of'fill in accordance with the Engineer's recommendation. Michael stated here we have someone trying to do som~thlng with property that ob- viously had a problem and thinks we should work' with him on it. The Building Official stated he'd have to have a plan;, it is very difficult to dredge an equal amount, particularly if inexperienced. It was questioned if this would come under any other permit and if it is. wide spread. Banicki said he thought his area was not big enough'to be concerned with when he started filling. Also noted that the City dumped street fillings at Richmond and BradfOrd and were they going to remove that? No fill has been dumped there'since the Wetlands Ordinance was adopted. Reese thought that the Commission should grandfather this in providihg there is no further filling, soil erosion is controlled per the Engineer's recommendation, etc.' The Building Official stated we should know where the excess cubic yards of fill that is to be removed is going. There was no second for Byrnes motion, so he withdrew the motion. Reese moved and Michael seconded a moti.on to recognize what's there, but not make him remove it providing there is no more extension of it, erosion is controlled per Engineer's recommendation and Banicki's letter is incorporated into permit. The vote on the mOtion was: Byrnes opposed; all others in favor. Motion carried. The Building Official also explained Mr. Banicki is asking for an interpretation; he feels his site is isolated enough regarding.the exterior storage that the natural screening should be enough; not put the storage in a fence or inside a building; he wants to leave it as it is. Reese stated he doesn't feel it is the Planning Commission's position to make an exception. Storage should be screened per the existing ordinance. The City Council will set the Public Hearing on this Wetlands Permit on August 28, 1~84.

Reese.commented he can't believe that they're going to sell 4 high.priced townhouses without any dockage, Robin stated t~?s particular parcel is not suitable for any kind of dock construc- ti'on.' There has'been a.lagoon dredged and sea wall constructed with the'DNR, · LMCD and City authorization and any dockage, that will take place for residents would be"w.!~thi'n that lagoon and would be more or less secured to the interior edge'of the lagoon. Depth of water is 3½ feet at sea wall, Mooring boats . agai'ns~ sea wall was di'scussed, CitylManager stated they'd have 108 feet:inland d~th to moor boats against the sea wall.

Dave Logelin, property owner at.1800 Commerce Boulevard, had questions about the trees along §outh'line of this property and his home and also asked about elevations.for drainage. The. City Manager asked ~im Robin to meet with the people before the City Council meeting so they can see a plan with everything on it. There were no other comments.from persons in the audience.

Hanson was present. The Bui)ding Official stated there was a survey handout ton')ght. Mr. Hanson is request:lng a .variance to allow him to do structural modifications without expanding the home, He pur6ha§ed home not long ago and pulled a permit to do.some .repairs, then found, out it needed structural changes. Helhad thesur- vey done and because lotswere'platted at 528 feet, he didn't think this lot was-as short In footage as it.appears, to be. The lots were described as the north and 'south 1/2 of.the west 50..feet except east.lO feet.- this is an ease- ment for access and. utilitylpurposes. .He found out he h~s.'3 separate tax parcels here. Descriptions and the division of.land is very confusing. The north 1/2-of Lot 47 extends into the lake. Makes lot house is on undersized. House itself is also.undersized by' the City Code. Buzz Sycks, owner.o~.5900 Beachwood.Road, explained'that original plat of his land in .1967, the lake'has risen. The main sewer line easement runs between the lake and the north house. Reese commented that the house really, is inaccessible.for emergency vehicles such as fire truck, etc. Hanson stated'he was going..to try to work out some- thing with Mr. Lassen if and when.his subdivision goes through'to the west to racily the access problems. .The 'Building Official noted that separate water .lines have been run tothe.'north house and the south house~ Reese moved to'table until we'get more definitive plans and' resolve the prop- erty issues'and accessibility problems. Hanson stated that is disasterous.to hi.m;, maybe a couple of years before prop- erty issues and accessibility issues are resolved.. He feels he's attempting to do things right. Size of house was discussed, i.t is approximately ~.3.6 square feet (32.4 X 14 ft.) Reese stated Commission is here to. see Ordinances are-conformed to---have to have a reason to act. He withdrew his motion to table and made the .following motion: Reese moved and Byrnes seconded a motion to deny the request for variances. The. vote on the motion was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. Hanson said he had hop~he would have something other than just.being turned down. Property on tax rol.l.s for $42,000 and also there are street assessments. LOt size, house size,' etc. were discussed[ It was suggested that he combine the fO..foot easement strip to a new north 1/2 of Lot 47 and give easement over the.lO foot strip to the south 1/2 of 47 and also Noel Wittig's land just to the east of the house on north 1/2 of Lot 47.

DISCUSSION 1. Signage at Two Plus' Two, 2310 Commerce Boulevard The City Manager stated discussion on Two Plus Two is sort of critical because Jerry Longpre 'is also putting his..awning plan together and the owner of Two Plus Two is just tr~ing to do what he. is proposing to do. He thinks the Council will approve the request because street is most barren hot street for retailing and Planning Commission Minutes August 1], 1~84 - Page 8 ,ou need.to do something, to bring shade. We are tal'klng about a 2 foot wide awning imilar to what you see in any downtown district. The Building Official questioned whether it would be considered a sign because it has lettering on it.

The program will provide'rental subsidies to people with Iow incomes. The Council's Metro H RA will distribute about $5 million over the next five year~ to help 250 house- holds. Recipients of the cash voucher, based on income and family size, will be able to choose housing in any of 74 par- ticipating suburbs. .. The Council approved four proposals for funds from the year-old federal Housing Development Grant Procjram to help build rental-housing. Twenty percent'or'more of-the units are to be set aside for people with Iow incomes.

In our quest for the '~30, 0~' bus equioped with a handicap lift, the fund raising is doing well. However,, a puzzling and disturb- ing fact is emerging. Of the 302 paid membership, only 92 have contributed to the fund. If we are to convince the non-senior general public of the nec- essity for the bus, we c~rtainly should have the backing ~f our seniors If you feel the amount you can' afford is too small arrd won't held much, remember any size douation':is accepted.. The only ones who will know whatever one gives will be the Fund Raising Committee. 0nly the names will be published and not the amounts. We want your name on'the donation list to show the Seniors are in'agree- ment and present a united front as to the need for the bus. Your'donation is tax deductible, so please give what youlcan afford. It will be greatly aporeciated. We have been very fortunate to have secured the Great Decisions Program from the University World Affairs D~vision. Begimning at 7:00p.m. for six Thursdays we will become more e~lightemed on the state of the world. Each week a different~expert will speak on one of the subjects of concerns and yo~ will have a chanc~ to discuss wit~ him or her, We ha had this super~ program before, but have not been able to have it for about three years. We are offering it in the evemimg in order to have high school students and the younger population of mdults take part. It should be a great chance for the younger genermtions to see how bright you all are. There are np tests... just a chance to use your brains and think and discuss.

MARGARET BJORNSTAD BJORK To a youngster of six, eighty years must seem an eternity. Yet, in retrospect, the years pass al! too quickly. Born in Nedre Eker, a small community across the river from Dramen, Norway, Margaret Bjornstad greeted her native land on March 14, 1898~ She was the last of the family of ten children. Two brothers and a sister pioneered the way to America in 1904, to be followed several ~onths later by the parents and Sire children. Landing in the harbor of New York on the ship, THE UNITED STATES, the family went thru the formalities of new citizens-to-be. Enroute to Minnesota, the Bjornstad family visited relatives in New York ~nd Chicago before boarding the trains to Litchfield. . Home in America, at last! Thei~ new home consisted of a large, old , farm house outside of Litchfield. Here Margaret continued her growing up. She shared in all the home and farm chores-no work was too menial. Margaret remarked that she is thank- ful that she had to work hard - it gave her an appreciation for life, Schooling came much through Margaret's own achievements. As a youngster, she hiked across the fields to school. Realizing that she wanted to be a nurse,, she prepared herself by inquiring at the local hospital for work. For a year Margaret cook- ed the hospital meals; it proved to be not only monetarily rewarding but, beneficial in receiving the dietician's training. During early training, the head nurse approached her, with the di- rections to "take a shower and put on a clean white uniform". She was to be given her first home charge - Dr. Archie Robertson. His brother, Dr. Bill who had come to visit Dr. Archie, decided to stay and care for h£m in his home. Mean- while, much in~i~d~t~, ap a stu- dent nurse to be given this assign- ment, Margare~ ~a~aged to take con- trol of herself--to do the bast sB~ could. A ~ote of interest--for those of u~ who re~ember the bottles of Mrs. Stewart's Bluing--the wife of Dr. Archie wa~ th~ granddaughter of the J. nventor ~r Khe famous Blu- ing--still to b~ found on the gro- cery shelves! Finishing ~Wo ygar~ of graining at Litchfield Hosp$~al--then on to the University Hospital for further work in the $ield of contagion, surgery a~d gqber~ular training. Following the three year training course, the "St~t~ ~Oa~ds" gave Margaret th~ ~redm~tiais to which she had S, lpng ~o~k~d forward. Her n9rs%n~ earegr met varied assignments. AlthoUgh she lived in Litchfield, ~Ma~gar~t worked in a doctqr's office'in D~ssel, did special and ~ri~a~? 9ursing and for two years Wa~ a S~p~lnurse in three school~ iq Was it intuigian?

For several years following, their marriage, the,. lived in Buffs%o, where Oscar was the Editor and Mgnager of the Buffa~ Wright COqn~y Pre~. Printer's ink flowed in'his veins, so several moves were made'to a~commodate hi~ work. Meanwhile, five children brighten- ed the homefires; Lucille died in ~n- fancy, Donald, g~mnetb, Clifford and Robert each lead in~eresting and prc~- ductiva lives? While living'in Navarre, Margare~ was appointed p.os~ mistress for the Minnetonka Beach POst Office. This position she held [or twenty-four years--1944-[968! It was here, Minneto.nka Beach became her home as well. A year after her retireme~t, one of her dr'earns ~n.ded with the passing of her husband. How'ever, the past fifteen years ha~e been busy years. obbies are a high priority.on her list gf activities. Travel--yes. Whilelwith the postal ;'~ervice, she made two conventions--one in Porto Rico a~d one in Washington, D.C. The mainland states has had her foot- prints~also embedded. .Whether she makes ~he last:two states remains to be seee. Of course her native land welcomed Margaret on two occasions tn 1970 a~d 1972.

By Kelly Jo Nelson Grade 6 MY OLDER FRIENDS My neighbor at one time was the nicest lady in the world. I never even thought, "oh, she's ~USt an old lady who can't do anything." She was really nice. I knew her ever since I was three. We'd-al- ways come over tO her house and she had three cupboards fu!% of ~oys for us. She was n~ver married but she lived with three sisters who were also lots of fun. Their names were Alice, Menora and JennM, My friend amd I would always go to their house and talk to and play games with Jenny because she was confined to bed--she was really sick. 'One day we went over and we cried so much because we .h~d gone into Jenny's room and she wa~ gone, We asked Alice where she was. She said the exact same thing as we were afraid of. She was ~ead. We kept visiting Alice and Menora but it wasn't ever quite the same but we did learn a lot from them. They taught us how to crochet, knit and other types ~f sewing. They al~o taught us card games. The one m~n thing they taught us that old '~people aren't tha~ bad. They can do a lot more than we thank. That's one lesson I've alw.a, ys remembered.

The input provided by Lake Minnetonka municipalities, other governmental agencies, and many concerned citizens was most helpful and effective in convincing Metropolitan Council that Site was unsuit- able. Therefore, Minnetrista would like to express its appre- ciation for the continued support which the City of Mound has given in opposing the selection of Site M as a landfill site. We look forward to continued co- operative effort with Mound to protect the valuable asset which Lake Minnetonka offers our communities. Sincerely, WC:bj league of minnesota oities August 8, 1984 TO: Mayors, Managers, and Clerks FROM: Donald A. Slater SUBJECT: Appointment of Legislative Study Committees Persons interested in serving on LMC Legislative Study Committees for the 1985-86 legislative session are encouraged to apply by submitting the enclosed form. A number of applications have been received in response to the first mailing on this topic, However, various local officials have indicated that they did not notice that the due date for applications was set much earlier than in recent years, As a result we will also return to the traditional practice of soliciting applications at the regional meetings in late August and September, League President Mary Anderson will be appointing the committee members in late September from among the applications received, The committees will begin their work in early October and remain active in the LMG legislative policy development process for the next two years, The committees are a vital part of the League's efforts to address city issues at the legislative level. Interested persons should complete the attached September 21 is the deadline for mailed responses, form, Enclosed within this mailing is a copy of the Local Government Aid Policy as amended by the League Board of Directors at its August 7th meeting, The Revenue Sources Committee will spend the major portion of its time developing a specific LGA formula within the framework of this policy, Enclosure dl I 83 oniveesiCy avenue ease, s5. paul, minnesota 551 01 (~;1 2] 227-5600 league of minnesota oities LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID POLICY Passed by LMC Board of Directors August 7, 1984 SYNOPSIS A Local Government Aid formula should be a simple expression of the Legislature's intent. Local government aid (LGA) should be distributed according to 1) the city's revenue raising capacity, as measured by its taxable assessed value; and 2) the city's need, as measured by its population and/or households and its expenditures for basic municipal services. STATEMENT AND RATIONALE Local Government Aid is an essential property tax relief program that provides cities with an important source of revenue to finance municipal services. Cities rely heavily on LGA. Eliminating LGA would create extreme property tax increases in many areas. Local government aid complements cities' other major revenue source, the property tax. As such, LGA must be distributed in a way which alleviates the problems inherent in reliance on the property tax as the major revenue source cities control. Cities vary markedly in their ability to raise money from property taxes. There are also wide variations among cities in their citizens' need for services and the costs of providing those services. A complementary revenue source for cities is necessary precisely because a city's ability to raise revenue from the property tax does not necessarily coincide with the cost of the services which that city must provide to its citizens. An LGA formula must reflect both the individual city's need and its local revenue raising capacity. A city's capacity to raise revenues from the property tax is easily measured by the city's equalized assessed value. (For metro-area cities, the assessed value after fiscal disparities distributions is the appropriate figure.) An acceptable aid formula should provide proportionally more aid to cities with less taxable assessed value, other things being equal. Need is more difficult to define and to measure. There is no single data item which measures need equitably; rather, we must rely on a combination of factors to approximate need. Need is clearly related to some extent to the city's number of inhabitants. Cities provide services to people. Because some services relate more closely to households than to individuals, the formula should reflect both the population and the number of households. Every city should receive a basic LGA distribution based on its population and/or number of households. - OVER - 183 0mivemsiCy avenue east, st. paul, minnesoCa 55101 (612) 227-5600 Local Government Aid Policy Page 2 However, neither population nor the number of households completely reflects need. Cities with similar populations and numbers of households may be faced with quite different service needs. (Factors such as age, construction and density of buildings, crime rates, elderly population, school age population, climate, geographic size, population density, poverty levels, crime rates, seasonal or daily influx of people, need to construct or replace capital facilities, and a myriad of other factors may cause similar sized cities' needs to differ.) Clearly, a formula cannot attempt to incorporate measures of all of these factors; the result would necessarily be complicated and to some extent arbitrary. Rather, the formula should rely on the judgment made by the persons in the best position to evaluate a city's need: that city's council. The local city council's judgment as to the expenditures required in order to provide the type and level of service needed by its citizens should be reflected in the formula. The formula should reflect all expenditures for basic municipal services. "Basic municipal services" include public safety, streets, sanitation, libraries, redevelopment, and general government and related purposes. This definition is intended as a limit, to assure that a city will not receive additional local government aid as a result of its discretionary spending on non-essential services. So far as possible, the formula should not be affected by the city's choice among tax levies, special assessments, or user fees to finance basic municipal services. To attempt to measure need by the tax levy, or by past LGA, or by a combination of those factors is not acceptable. The past LGA distribution is the result of several formula changes accompanied by grandfather provisions, minimum increase guarantees, etc. The resulting distribution pattern is at least somewhat arbitrary. And to focus on past aids and levies or levy limits ignores the other revenues which cities' citizens contribute so that the city can meet their service needs. A formula developed in accordance with this policy would likely result in a substantially different distribution of funds. The'transition must be handled in an orderly fashion, avoiding drastic year-to-year increases or decreases in aid. Incmeases and decreases should be phased in, to avoid the need for sudden "shock" propertY tax increases on one hand, and the temptation to view increased aid as a windfall on the other.

This result was not unexpected, however, as it matches the average May to June change of the past fourteen years. The number of people employed continues to surpass previous highs, but the unemployment rate shows no real improvement. This is because of both large increases in the labor force above and beyond the normal seasonal influx of new graduates and workers idled as a result of the recent nurses strike. Hospital employees laid off even temporarily are included in the count of unemployed even though striking workers are not. Initial Unemployment Insurance claims were up dramatically in June because of this action with the number of total claimants in the services industry virtually doubling. Women now account for half of all claimants, the highest proportion ever recorded. Typically the unemployment rate drops six-tenths of a percentage point between June and October as growth in employment exceeds that of the labor force. Employment growth is expected to continue at a healthy but slower pace over the second half of 1984, but the unemployment rate may decline more slowly than usual due to pressure on the labor market from reentrants to the labor force.

EMPLOYMENT AND EARNIHGS CONDITIONS There was little change in the total number of nonagricultural wage and salary jobs in the Twin Cities area bet- ween May and June, on a seasonally - ad- justed basis. However, there were strong cross currents beneath the rela- tively calm surface of total payroll em- ployment. There was another significant increase in the number of manufacturing jobs in June. Nearly 'all industry groups added .jobs, but hiring activity in the machinery groups was particularly strong. The length of the workweek for manufacturing production workers - a leading indicator of economic activity - remained at a historically high level in June. Countering the growth in the manufacturing sector was a major labor - management dispute which idled an esti- mated 6,300 registered nurses in 16 local private hospitals. It is estima- ted that roughly 8,000 additional hospi- tal support personnel were affected either through layoffs or shorter work- weeks. The service industry also ex- perienced seasonal additions of workers in recreation and entertainment services and seasonal cutbacks in private educa- tional services.

THE JOB MARKET Companies offering financial services are under pressure to contain costs. In the aftermath of historically high interest rates, the industry was deregulated through lessened restrictions on rates, services offered and location. Firms now face a more )etitive environment in attracting customers and must keep costs down to stay in ness. One way to do this is by purchasing productivity enhancing equipment that reduces the need for additional labor. In this two part article continuing next month we will explore the possibility that this technique is being utilized and explain the outlook for particular occupations found in this industry division. The financial services division is composed of banking, credit, brokerage, insurance and real estate firms. It comprises seven percent of Twin Cities area total payroll employment, compared to'six percent nationwide. Insurance carriers, mortgage bankers and brokerage houses are especially prevalent here. The industry group is also grow- ing faster locally than nationally, with steady employment gains over time. These companies tend to stabilize their workforce during recessionary periods rather than resorting to widespread layoffs typical of goods producing and distributing firms. The component industries exhibit varying cyclical patterns. Employment in savings and loans, other credit, and real estate firms is very sensitive to consumer sentiment, rising rapidly when interest rates drop and level off. Insurance and banking, on the other hand, take longer to add workers since they deal primarily with corporations who wait for sustained economic growth before committing themselves to using more finan- cial services. The recent slow growth in these industries is fully expected given this cyclical behavior. Brokerage and trust firms operate on their own cycle increas- ing staff greatly in years following a favorable stock market performance or a major change in tax legislation.

It is helpful to compare recent trends to employment growth patterns in earlier time periods to assess whether cost containment is affecting employment levels. The above table compares the recent recovery to the two-year period ending in December 1977 which exhibited a similar economic backdrop of moderate inflation, rapid GNP growth and interest rates at their trough. This was well before deregulation and the'advent of widespread office computerization. That recovery also had comparable employment gains in financial services leading us to expect similar growth in the industry sub- groups now as then. It hasn't occurred. Savings and loans, banking and insurance grew more slowly in the recent recovery with other credit, brokerage and trust firms expanding at a faster clip. These trends are borne out nationally as well indicating some change taking place within financial services. Further information on its struc- ture presents a strong case that the discontinuity is due more to the implementation of cost containment measures than shifting demand among the components. The indus- tries characterized by large organizations with economies of scale sufficient to jus- :ify sophisticated capital investment are the ones with stabilizing employment levels. thermore, they traditionally hire a higher proportion of clerical workers who are more apt to utilize automated processes than small scale operations staffed with com- paratively more sales workers. It is no coincidence that more jobs have been created in insurance agencies than the parent carrier offices over the last six years. Only high demand for financial services in general has kept overall employment levels in- creasing steadily despite the recent trend toward cost containment.

The Engineer recommended approval of the application as to that portion of the property which drains to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. It was further recommended that the applicant be advised that the District had not reviewed the design of that portion of the project which does not drain into Minnehaha Creek Watershed DisTrict. Manager Andre inquired as to status of review of the projec~ by the City of Chanhassen. The Engineer indicated that the status of the project -4- with the City was not known because Chanhassen was not in the jurisdictional boundary of the District. It was moved by Andre, seconded by McWethy that the application be approved as recommended by the Engineer subject to approval of the project by the City of Chanhassen. Upon vote the motion carried. Brutger Companies, Inc. - grading and drainage plan for "Parkwoods'", a 100-unit townhouse development, Sec. 17BD, Lot 1, Block 1, Oak Park Villaqe, St. Louis Park. 84-114 The Engineer reviewed the application for grading and drainage plan approval. The Engineer advised the Board that the project is located within an area approximately 364 acres which is served by storm sewer and two City constructed stormwater retention ponds which are outletted by lift station to Minnehaha Creek. The Engineer advised the Board that the applicant was not proposing rate or quality control facilities for the development on the basis that the City ponds for the 364-acre area met District standards. The Engineer informed the Board that the adequacy of the City facilities is being reviewed by the District's Staff but that sufficient information is not yet available to conclude that the plan meets District requirements under all rainfall events up to the 100-year event. The Engineer indicated that the District's Staff was working with the Engineering Staff at the City of St. Louis Park to secure such additional information as is necessary to review the adequacy of the drainage facilities for this area. The Engineer recommended tabling the application pending the District's determination of the adequacy of the existing City drainage system or until the developer has revised the drainage plan to meet District's requirements for stormwater runoff. It was moved by Spensley, seconded by McWethy that the application be tabled as recommended by the Engineer. Upon vote the motion carried. The Board requested that the Staff of the District formally communicate to the City of St. Louis Park the Board's reasons for its tabling of the application and requesting the City to advise the District of the status of assembly of the additional data requested by the District's Staff.

Respectfully submitted, 2854n Michael R. Carroll, Acting Secretary -9- DISCUSSION PAPER FOR FORUM ON SOLID WASTE INITIATIVES: ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF REGIONAL ACTION Sandra S. Gardebring Metropolitan Council Chair August 8, 1984 INTRODUCTION This discussion paper outlines issues involved in reshaping the region's solid waste system from one that relies substantially on landfills to one based on the maximum re-use, or abatement, of such waste. It also outlines alternative courses of action to implement this new direction for the solid waste system. Please review the issues and alternatives and give us your response at the Solid Waste Initiatives Forum on August 13. Your response will help determine the direction of regional sol id waste management. The Metropolitan Council is now considering such a new direction for several reasons. First, sanitary landfills, developed in the 1970s, are now taking their toll on the region's water resources. There is evidence that 13 of the 15 landfills currently operating in the region are causing groundwater contamination. Consequently, there's a pressing need to divert the region's solid waste stream from such facilities to more environmentally sound alternatives. Even a new generation of landfills, with more effective environmental controls, pose some risk of future groundwater contamination. Second, a new generation of landfills could cause serious land use conflicts, most particulary with productive agricultural land.' It's unfortunate but true that 1 and most environmentally suited for 1 andfil 1 s i s agricultural 1 and. Third, we know that abating close to 100 percent of the region's raw, unpro- cessed solid waste is technically feasible. Together, recycling, composting and use of waste as fuel could abate virtually all 5,400 tons of solid waste discarded daily in the region. State law says that a certificate of need is required for new or expanded solid waste landfills. The Council is prohibited from issuing a certificate if there are prudent and feasible alternatives to land disposal--irrespective of cost. Under these circumstances, how could the Council justify issuance of a certificate for any new solid waste landfill? A new course is needed for the region--one that changes our habits and methods of waste management. Please give consideration to the issues highlighted below. We need your thoughts and comments. The issues we must focus on today are: What is the appropriate mix of measures needed for maximum abatement? Who should implement them? . Are existing authorities, fiscal and other resources adequate to assure impl ementati on? What hurdles have curtailed our progress? Public opposition? Political indecision? Cost? Risk? Need for coordination? Need for leadership? These issues and actions that can be taken to accelerate our abatement efforts will be the focus of this forum. OPTIONS The goal now being considered by the Council is no less than 100 percent abate- ment of raw, unprocessed solid waste in the region. The paragraphs that follow discuss alternative abatement measures to achieve that goal and issues that' need to be resolved along the way. Waste Reduction/Source Separation HousehOld and commercial recycling, yard waste composting, separation and management of hazardous wastes produced by households and other small generators could accomplish as much as 20 percent of our abatement objective. These measures affect each of us, individuals and businesses, as waste generators. To be effective they require theacti~e cooperation of cities, towns, counties, and the private waste management industry. The newly created waste surcharge can provide limited funding for these kinds of programs. It will also provide a rebate of up to 50 cents per household for con~nunities that implement such programs. In addition, the Council is creating an Abatement Assistance Team that can help with public education efforts and provide technical and planning assistance. Will these resources be adequate? Is a requirement for mandatory source separation warranted? Would organized waste collection facilitate this part of the abatement effort? Mass Burn/Refuse Derived Fuel/Co-Composting These higher technology projects can technically be designed and selected to process all mixed solid wastes, producing a smaller and more environmentally acceptable amount of residual material 'for land disposal. Costs for waste management would be higher than our current landfill system, and likely .more so if new facilities are built than if existing facilities are converted. To date, private efforts to implement these technologies have been frustrated either by lack of funding or inability to guarantee a source of waste. Projects under county auspices are facing similar issues of risk, availabiity of financing, cost disparity with landfills and flow control. Efforts to site new facilities may be as controversial as efforts to site la.ndfills. Are different methods of funding needed?. Possibilities include regional bonding; a composite oi~state, regional, and local funds; or a dedicated tax. Are new authorities needed for the counties or the Council? Should a new agency be considered? Options include an agency limited to development of demonstration projects; an agency with authority to contract for services; an' oversight/regul atory body; an implementing authority Land Disposal Land disposal of wastes is our current practice despite state and regional policy that it be the last resort. If we choose wisely and act expediently, new solid waste landfills may not be needed. However, at least a few new landfills may be needed for residuals disposal. To ensure better environmental protection, new state land disposal rules are needed. They should require that any facilities developed have reasonably available control technology such as liners and collection systems for contaminated seepage. Should certain types of land be rejected as potential sites: parks, agricultural land, public lands, etc.? The following list of possible actions has been prepared for your review and comment. These actions are the kinds of steps that will need to be taken to implement solid waste disposal alternatives. Please give us your response to these suggested actions. POSSIBLE ACTIONS BY THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL 1. Make a policy decision that the Council will not issue a certificate of need for landfilling (raw) mixed solid waste. 2. Adopt a plan for region that makes a commitment to a goal of 100 percent abatement of the landfilling of raw solid waste by 1990. -- Release first draft of policy plan by October 1984. -- Adopt plan by January 1985. Implement an internal Council-wide program for recycling, procurement and waste reduction. - _ Form an Abatement Assistance Team by October 1984 and implement abatement outreach program by January 1985. This will include public education, technical assistance, abatement grant/loan program, etc. 5. Create industry/government task force on market development. 6. Use Metropolitan Council bonding authority to finance abatement facilities. BY THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE 1. Enhance abatement funding options (solid waste bonds, industrial revenue bonds, appropriation to abatement fund, increase surcharge). Consider creating a funding vehicle for new projects such as~entral metals recovery facility, co-composting demonstration programs, residuals manage- ment projects, etc. Consider whether a new agency is needed to achieve abatement goals. Require mandatory sourc~'separation if voluntary programs are not meeting goals by a specified date. 4. Consider possible exemptions of certain land uses when siting landfills (agricultural land, parks). 5. Streamline flow control requirements. 6. prohibit the dumping of raw or unprocessed solid waste in landfills. BY COUNTIES, CITI£S, TOWNSHIPS, SCHOOL D'ISTRICTS 1. Accelerate abatement programs to meet established abatement objectives. 2. Conduct public education programs on the need for alternatives to 1 andfil 1 s. 3. Continue to analyze and monitor waste stream information. 4. Issue licenses and permits to landfills that accept only processed waste. BY MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY 1. Adopt new land disposal rules that require available control technology. 2. Accelerate program of permit revisions that include conditions for upgrad- ing 1 andfil 1 s. 3. Adopt rules for co-composting. Pub.1 i cati on No. 12-84-125 JOB SEARCH TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE TONKA CORPORATION EMPLOYEES - MOUND, MN DISLOCATED WORKER PROJECT DOCUMENTATION REPORT SUBMITTED BY K. B. LANG CONTROL DATA CORPORATION JULY 1984 I . INTRODUCTION In June 1983, Hennepin County's Private Industry Council (PIC) and Training and Employment Assistance office received a grant from the State of Minnesota's Dislocated Worker funds to assist the employees of'the Tonka Corporation in becoming re-employed. The Tonka Corporation, a manufacturer of Tonka Toys, would be closing its production operations in Mound, Minnesota and approximately 500 workers would be terminated in several phases. Under this grant, Hennepin County contracted with a local ser- vice provider to deliver employment and training services to the employees until December 31, 1983. Then, in October 1983, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for the provision of employment and training services for January 1, 1984 through June 30, 1984. Control Data staff attended a Bidder's Conference on October 21 and submitted a proposal on November 11, to provide Self-Directed Job Search Training and Assistance to approximately 200 Tonka employees. On December 9 the PIC Board recommended to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners that the contract be awarded to Control Data. On January 17, 1984 the C~unty Board approved the awarding of the contract to Control Data. The Contract contained performance standards which required: - A minimum of 60 percent placement of all participants. - An average wage at placement of $5.10/houro 85 percent job retention 30 days after placement. - 70 percent retention 90 days after placement. During the project, a Mound/Tonka Coordinating Committee met regularly to advise the planning and operation of the project. The committee consisted of representatives from the Hennepin County Department of Training and Assistance, the City of Mound, the Tonka Corporation, two Tonka employees, ISD 277, the Minnesota Department of Economic Safety, and the contractor for providing job search training and assistance. II. PROJECT GOAL The overall goal of the Hennepin County project was to provide a model for future dislocated worker projects. Control Data's primary goal was to pr6vide the former Tonka employees with Self-Directed Job Search skills and to assist them in obtaining new employment. - 2 - III. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the Hennepin County Training and Assistance Office were: To demonstrate that with early intervention, in the case of a business closure, there can be an economic return. To provide a valuable employment experience to the former Tonka employees. Control Data's Self-Directed Job Search Training and Assistance objectives were to help individuals: Increase their job seeking skills. Increase their confidence in their job-related skills and their abilities to find suitable employment. Increase their awareness of and access to job opportunities in their area. - 3 - IV. METHODOLOGY Services were delivered on site at the Tonka plant in Mound to 174 employees over a 22-week period using seven program components: Group Seminars, PLATO Computer-Based Instruction, Job Club Meetings, Individual Conferences, Phone Room and other Support Services, Job Development Assistance and Post placement Follow-Up. Six Control Data staff provided services as Group Facilitators and Job Developers. Services were also available on site from the Minnesota Department of Economic Security. The following schedule shows how our services were delivered during the contract period: JANUARY--Met with Tonka Personnel Management, Hennepin County staff and the former service provider's staff to arrange space, program start-up and the transfer of participant files and information. Scheduled interested employees for group seminars and PLATO Training. Contacted program participants intaked by previous service provider to determine if they were interested in continu- ing to receive assistance. - 4 - Installed computer terminals. Received training in Hennepin County JTPA MIS forms pro- cedures and requirements. FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL-- Group Seminars PLATO Training Job Development Individual Conferences Weekly Job Club Meetings Phone Room Use Postplacement Follow-Up MAY, JUNE-- PLATO Training Job Development Individual Conferences Weekly Job Club Meetings Phone Room Use Postplacement Follow-Up Program Close-Out Group Seminars The three-day Self-Directed Job Search Seminar was delivered twelve times during February, March and April. Approximately 15 employees attended in each session. During the seminar, employees participated in activities in which they began to analyze their marketable skills and learn a sales approach to prospecting for job leads and interviewing for jobs. The group learning activities ar~ designed to provide participants with practice and review of key skills, such as making job choices, contacting employers by telephone, interviewing for jobs and retaining employment. - 5 - The seminars involved a high degree of participation by the employees. Individuals participated in a motivating inter- active group environment where they could share their thoughts and ideas with others and gain a sense of belonging to a group pursuing a similar goal. This group interaction provided an important learning and support environment where networking among participants was encouraged. Computer-Based Instruction/PLATO Trainin~ The PLATO Computer-Based Instruction served as an effective teaching method that complimented the Group Seminars and Job Club activities. Through PLATO, the employees could test out their job seeking skills'and receive immediate feedback for their personal responses. For example, PLATO reinforces inter- viewing techniques by allowing participants to practice through interactive PLATO lessons. Participants are provided immediate feedback to their responses in hypothetical interviewing situa- tions. Participants can try out various responses without risking embarrassment which might occur in a group situation. PLATO is a non-threatening learning environment, with course- ware that is individualized, allowing participants to progress at their own pace. In this project, the employees were introduced to the use of PLATO during the seminar and then signed up for additional times when they could complete the lessons. Four Control Data computer terminals were on site during the project. The employees expressed that they enjoyed and benefited from PLATO. - 6 - Job Club Weekly Job Club~meetings added to the continuity of the ser- vices by providing a supportive network for the participants from the time they completed the seminar until they obtained new employment. These meetings underscored the level of effort required to obtain a job, provided an opportunity to share job leads and helped to boost the motivation and self-confidence of the participants'. Discussions and activities that occurred during the Job Club meetings included: Setting weekly Job Search goals--employees set indi- vidual goals for how many companies they would con- tact and how many interviews they would arrange each week. Sharing ~ob leads--employees saved time by sharing job leads with each other. Role playing job interviews--to practice the tech- niques learned in the Group Seminar. o Completing job application forms. Discussing realistic wage expectations. Job retention activities such as discussing employer expectations, problems that could occur on a new job and ways to deal with them. - 7 - Job Club meetings were held twice a week each week during contract period. Employees were encouraged %o a%%en~ as often as possible until they successfully obtained new jobs. Attendance at the meetings varied as new partici- pants joined after completing the Group Seminar and others dropped out as they got jobs. Individual Conferences After the seminar, individual conferences were scheduled, as needed, to assure that individual needs were being met. In addition, the employees were contacted by phone approximately every two weeks if there was no other contact through Job Club, etc. Phone Room and Other Support Services Phones and a resource room were available to the employees to assist them in their job search. Phones could be used to con- tact potential employers to obtain job leads or arrange inter- views° Job postings and other reference materials were provided in the resource rooms. Job Development Assistance Staff assisted and supplemented the participants' attempts to find jobs by contacting employers in the western suburbs and the communities in which the employees lived to obtain job leads and when possible to arrange interviews. Over 300 employers were contacted by telephone in this process. In addition, a presentation was made at a meeting of the Employers' Association of Greater Minneapolis. - 8 - Postplacement Follow-up Each employee or the employer was contacted 30 and 90 days after a placement began to determine whether employment had been maintained and whether any assistance was needed for job-related problems. Overall job retention was very high. V. COST The total Program Budget was not to exceed $52,000. The county would reimburse up to an additional $5,000 for earnings in excess of the total Program Budget according to the payment formula in Exhibit E of the contract. A final settlement will be made where payments are adjusted to reflect actual earnings based on performance. This adjustment will be made not later than six months following the end of program operations. VI. RESULTS The performance standard of 60 percent placement of all par- ticipants was surpassed with an actual placement of 66 per- cent (115 participants). Of the remaining 59 individuals, 41 were still actively seeking employment at the end of the project (June 30), 10 had not found employment due to family care needs, health problems or transportation problems, and 8 planned to retire or were not interested in working at this time. Average wage at,.placement exceeded the $5.10/hour requirement. For some employees, 90 day follow-ups have not yet been due.

Q. A vacant lot near my home is overrun with weeds. I don't know who owns the property, but I would like the area mowed. How can I get the problem corrected?. A. The City doeshavean °rdi- nance that specificallyaddresses weed control. The ordinance states that any weeds, whether noxious or not, growing upon any privately-owned lot or public boulevard cannot be allowed to grow higher than six inches, The City does have a program aimed at weed control. During summer months, a full-time weed inspector is employed to follow up on complaints reo ceived by the City as well as to make random inspections with- in the City. After a resi.dent registers a com- \l/]aint,_/ the weed inspector ASK CITY HALL checks the property. If the lot is in violation of the City ordi- · nance, the owner of the properly is traced. The property owner has seven days to mow the lot. If the owner fails to comply, the City will then mow the lot. The ow.ncr is billed by the City for. the work done on his.property. The City wee~ program has been in existence for 14 years. In addition to eliminating weeds on private lots, the program also includes public boulevards and the trimming of bushes and branches where the view oftraf- ficand street signs is obstructed.
