COUNTY ROAD 15 Mayor Polston re.capped what transpired' at the meeting with the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners regarding the proposed compromise for County Road 15 from Navarre to Mound. Councilmember Paulsen stated that he is against this compromise if the 2 lane road were~uilt without approval of the State because it would have to be paid for in property taxes. The Council all agreed they would also be against this. Mayor Polston stated that the Count~~ Board has asked the County Engineer to go to the State and request a variance from State standards and if this is gra'nted the road weuld be paid for with MSA funds which is what all the communities want. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH FEE The City Manager presented the Council with a typical letter the City receives from real estate agents requesting the following. information: 2. 3. 4. closest proximity to the Property of city water and sewer, for the most feasible connection; whether the storm sewer easement is a possible route; if gas is available to the property; the possible zoning for this particular property. He explained that answer, lng these questions requires alot of staff time and in most cases the agents are acting for_ potential buyers so the information given ends up not being used. He suggested charging a $10.00 fee which might force the agents to do their own research and maybe cut down on their calls and requests. The City Attorney agreed with the ~ity Manager that these requests are time consuming and often fruitless. He also stated that giving this type of information could leave the City open to suits just as Assessment Searches do. He suggested adopting a policy or some guidelines on giving this type of information. No further action was taken. 737 March 27, 1984 ,INFORMATION/MISCeLLANEOUS Letter confirming Water.shed District Grant to the City of Mound for $3,000 for the shoreline erosion repair Project along the Devon Commons on Spring ~Park Bay.

As requested, we are submitting herewith a Preliminary Engineering Report for the 1984 Street Improvements. These proposed improvements consist of the Post Office site, the adjacent city parking lot, and the sections of Belmont Lane and Auditors Road adjacent to the parking lot and Rost Office. If you have any questions or require additional information on anything in this report, we will be pleased to discuss this further with you at your convenience. very truly yours, McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC.

BOX S MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364. TELEPHONE 4.7~'o1182 1984 Street Improvements It has been requested that the drive up mail boxes be relocated from in front of the post office to a better location. At this same time street im- provements and upgrading of the parking lot could be undertaken to better regulate the traffic flow and parking. The enclosed drawings show a suggested location for the mailboxes in the parking lot adjacent to the MTC bus shelter.. An alternate spot is also indicated in the southeast corner of this same park- ing lot with access from the post office property. We are proposing three alternatives for these improvements. During the 1980 Street Improvement Rrojedt, Belmont Lane and a portion of Auditors Road adjacent to the post office property were improved by paving the driven road in its present location. There were no subgrade corrections made at that time. Alternate No. 1 As shown on the enclosed drawing this alternate would include concrete curb and gutter not only along the street but also for the present city parking lot. This proposed construction would probably require extensive subgrade corrections. For estimating purposes, we have assumed the removal of 3 to 4 feet of material, placing of a fabric and filling to grade with good material. The actual amount of these subgrade corrections would have to be determined after soil tests are taken. Concrete sidewalk and controlled parking would be installed along the east side of the post office property. An entrance would be added to the parking lot at the rear of the post office. Catch basins and a new reinforced concrete pipe would be required in Auditors Road. Because of the lower elevation of the post office parking lot, the north end of this pipe would continue to receive runoff from the post office site. We have estimated this alternate to cost approximately $70,300. A copy of the estimate for this alternate is attached. Alternate No. 2 This alternate would be a scaled down version of the previous proposal. The concrete sidewalk and a small amount of concrete curb and gutter is pro- posed along the east side of the post office property. Two curbed islands would be installed at the north end of the City parking lot. The posts and parking curbs would be left in place to control the parking for this lot. We are estimating this alternate to cost approximately $13,000. Included in this cost estimate is only enough bituminous to.correct the drainage at the parking created at the east side of the post office. To overlay the street and the City parking lot an additional $7,000 would be required. A copy of the de- tailed estimate for Alternate'~o. 2 is attached. Alternate No. 3 We have enclosed a sketch showing how Auditors Road could be realigned from Commerce Boulevard (County Road lO) east to Belmont Lane and then north to County Road i5. Because of the high cost involved, we would only recommend that Belmont Lane be added to the City's MSA system and this alternate be conk structed with MSA funds. This project could be done in phases as the City accumulates enough monies in their MSA fund to cover the cost of the construction. There are a number of difficulties that would have to be overcome. The City's Well No. 1 is in the proposed street and there is presently inadequate right-of-way. This well is currently the City's oldest and smallest (presently producing abo~t 300 gpm) and it appears that it may be expendable. The cost for demolition of the ex- isting well would be covered in the project, but the City would have to stand the expense of a new well if it is required. The first 150 feet of right-of-way east of Commerce is only 50 feet wide, whereas 60 feet is required by the state. The City can probably get a variance for the narrower right-of-way. The enclosed sketch shows an ultimate design for a parking lot along the south side of the new road. The upgrading of this existing lot would not be covered by MSA funds nor would the present lot between the post office and the MTC property. The present gravel parking lot could be left as is or developed as funds become available. If the City decides to choose this alternative, the first step is to request the addition of Belmont Lane to the MSA system. Rre- liminary plans would then have to be submitted along with any variances required. With all the approvals required from~the state, we would not foresee construction until at least the summer of 1985. We have roughly estimated the construction of alternative 3 for the total length from Commerce Boulevard~{o County Road 15 to cost $21_8,000. Rlease note that this estimate does not include any work outside the proposed right-of-way. The upgrading of the city parking lot (adjacent to Rost Office) would cost $9,800 for complete improvement or $1,000 for improvement as dis- cussed in alternate 2. We .have also attempted to develop a method of asses§ing the project cost to the benefitting properties for each of the alternates previously discussed. The parcel occupied by the post office was assessed $3,596.36 for the work done as part of the 1980 Street Improvement Rroject. For discussion purposes we are showing the proposed assessments as a front foot charge rather than the combin- ation of unit, footage and area normally used on previous Mound projects. In alternates 1 and 2 the City of Mound has approximately 480 lineal feet of frontage and the post office site has 250 lineal feet.~ lhe cost estimate enclosed for alternate No. 1 includes approximately $9800.00 to be spent for upgrading the City parking lot, therefore this amount should be deducted from the total to end up with $60,500 to be assessed. Alternate No. 1 would then be assessed at $83.00 per lineal foot. The proposed assessment for the post office property would be approximately $17,150. This was arrived at by multiplying 250 lineal feet x $83.00/lineal feet for a subtotal of $20,750 and then deducting the previous assessment of $3600. The'City owned parking lot would be assessed for 60 lineal feet ~ $83.00 or $4980.00, plus the $9800 for improvements of this lot, which amounts to a total of $14,780. The remainder of the project cost $38,370 would be assessed against the City owned property south and east of the proposed road. 7F2 The cost estimate for alternate 2 included approximately $1000 for work on the City parking lot. This amount was deducted from the total estimated cost to arrive at a figure of $12,000 ko be assessed over the 730 lineal feet of frontage. This amounts to a charge of $16.50 per front foot. Since the con- struction included in this alternate is primarily for curb and gutter and sidewalk, we did not feel the post office site should be given a credit for the cost of the previous street construction. Therefore the proposed assessment against the post office site would be $4,125. The City would be assessed the remaining cost of the project or $8,875. Any of the above alternatives are technically feasible, however, we would recommend that, if the City w~gts to proceed with major improvements in this area, Alternate 3 is the best choice because it utilizes MSA funds to offset City cost. The Post Office site could be assessed an equitable amount and the remainder paid by MSA funds. The City could also just move the mailbox without any other improvement or if theCity wishes to clean up this area immediately, we would recommend alternate No. 2. It is possible to construct the sidewalk and curb and gutter along the east side of the post office with further upgrad- ing of the street as a ~SA project. The only drawback to this would be that the City could not recover any of this money from the state.

CASE NO. 84-308 3030 Harbor Lane North, Suite* ~104" Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 612/553-1950 TO: Plannir~ Co,~ission and Staff FRCM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: March 7, 1984 SUBJ: Zoning Amendment Request APPLICANT: Superaaerica StatiOns, Inc. CASE NO. 84-308 PROPOSAL: Superamerica is requesting an amendment to the Mound Zoning Ordinance to add motor fuel station, convenience stores to the list of conditional uses in the B-1 district (Section 2~.625.3). This proposal was initiated due to the applicant's desire to remove the existi'ng Metro 500 facility and replace it with a new Superamerica Station. OOMMENTS: Consideration of amendir~ the B'I provisions to conditionally allc~ a facility such as Superanerica should consider' a number of items. The zoning ordinance presently defines two types of motor fuel stations, one a traditional gas station and the other essentially a convenience store (see Attachment A). Both types shoLuld be considered for inclusion in any ordinance revision. The'basic question to be addressed in this issue is "Are motor fuel stations Or motor fuel station, convenience stor.es appropriate land uses in Mound's CBD?" In order to answer this question, it's appropriate to review the existing CBD area and address negative implications of gas stations as land uses. At the present time, the~e are five gas stations in the B-1 district (k~CO, Metro 500, Superamerica, Phillips 66, and Mound K) all of which are nonconforming. Nonconforming uses under Section 23.404 of the zoning ordinance cannot be altered in any manner which would "extend or intensify the nonconforming use." The intent of the nonconforming status is that eventually the bdsinesses will close, relocate or convert to a permitted use. PlannitG ccmmission and Staff Page March 7, 1984 CASE NO. 84-3DB In addressing the appropriatene~.s, of gas stations in the B-1 district, a - review of the existirG facilities should point out any major problems. In general, staff is unaware of any major problems such as traffic congestion, trucks, noise, etc., caused by any of the existing uses. The existing Superamerica Station does have traffic congestion problems, particularly when fuel is beir~ delivered by transport trucks, however, these problems seem t6 be caused by the site characteristics of the station rather than by the land use itself. Proper lot area, parking and entrance/exit coordination should alleviate these types of conflicts. .. The existing zoning ordinance addresses the site aspects of gas stations in Section 23.718.1 (Attachment B). All of the restrictions identified in this section would apply to any zoning district permitting motor fuel stations. Another way t~ assess the legitin~, cy 'of motor fuel stations and motor fuel stations/convenience stores i~~ the B-1 district is to compare these uses to those presently permitted in the B-1 district. A motor fuel station, convenience store such as Superamerica has two components: retail goods (primarily groceries) ard gasoline. The existing B-1 ordinance permits retail b~inesses such as the Tom Thumb Store, Super Value, etc., and service shops, all of which have similar traffic and use patterns. Stops at a motor fuel station, convenience store are short in duration as arethose of the businesses m~ntioned above. Presently, the ordinance permits minor auto repair, tire and batteryshops," and boat and marine sales in the B-1 district. A typical gas station is probably no more intensive than any of these uses in terms Df short-term servicirg and on-site parking of vehicles. RECOMMENDATION: Mound is a suburban metropolitan area community with a service oriented central business area. .As s. uch, motor fuel stations and motor fuel station, convenience stores seem appropriate as land uses, subject to individual case-by-case reviews. Therefore, staff reconmends that motor fuel stations, and motor fuel station, convenience stores be added to the list of conditional uses in.the B-1 district as specified in Section 23.625.3 of the Mound Zonin~ Ordinance. ~ Attachment A (7~) CASE NO. 84-308 Motor Fuel Stat, ion - A retail place of business engaged primarily in the sale of motor fuels, but also may be engaged in supplying goods and services generally associated with the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles· These may Include sale of petroleum products, sale and servicing of tires, batteries, automotive accessories, and replacement of items, washing and lubrication servlces;.and the performance of minor autc~notlve maintenance and repair. ~(75) Motor Fuel Station, Convenience Store - A store operated in conjunction with a motor fuel station for the purpose of offering for sale goods not essential to the motoring public. Attachment B · 23.718 AUTO SERVICE STATIONS 23.718.1 Lot Size A service station site shall be minimum of 20,000 square feet. 23.718.2 -Setbacks The building or buildings shall be set back at least thirty-five (35) feet from the street right-of-way.

There should be a' six (6) inch curb along all interior driveways. 23.718.4 Fencing and Screening When adjacent or near to residential property, there shall be a screenin'g fence. When adjacent to commercial property, there shall be a bumper-type fence about eighteen (18) inches hlgh between the station and the adjacent comr. erclal property. 23.718.5 Architecture If possible, the station should'be of a type that is reasonably compatible with the surroundings. )lost national oil companies have a variety of .building typeslWhich could be viewed for selection of the most suitable.

Additional'~y, they have submitted a request for a sign permit. Each proposal will be reviewed separately in this. report. OONDITI~USE PERMIT R~: The applicant: is requesting the approval of a Conditional Use Peri-it to operate a Class 3 restaurant in the central business (B-l) zone. On July 7, 1983, the City received a request frcm the Moys for a zoning amendment to permit liquor service restaurants in the B-1 zone. On October 3, 1983, the City Ccuncil established Class 3 restaurants (definition enclosed) as conditional uses in the B-1 zone. The Moy application is the first to be processed under the ordinance revision. ~ COMMENTS: The HOuse of Moy is presently operating as a Class 1 restaurant. The subject proposal calls for the expansion of the existing dining area, the remodelin~ of the kitchen facilities and the service of intoxicating liquors. The only planning issues contained in the p~oposal pertain to parking. The added seating capacity will increase the demand for parking in the area, however, adjacent parking lots are large enough to adequately handle the additional demand. Plannir~3 Ccxnmissioh and Staff Pa0e April 4, 1984 CASE NO. 84-3]5 & 84-316 RECOMMENDATION: In July of 1983, the Planning Ccrmni ss ion found that liquor service restaurants were appropriate in the CBD. Because of this, staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the House of Moy Restaurant as a Class 3 restaurant facility. SIGN PERMIT REQUEST: The House of Moy Restaurant has requested a pennit for the installation of two wall signs occupying a total area of approximately 98 square feet (49 square feet each). COMMENTS: The House of Moy Restaurant presently contains a roof sign labeled as "Existing Sign Structure" on the enclosure. This sign measures approximately 72 square feet. The existing Mound Sign Ordinance, Section 55.38, states that "No sign larger than four (4) feet in one of its dimensions and no lor~er than nine (9) square feet in area shall be constructed without a written permit frcm the City Couhcil first having been secured." There is no permit on record for the existing House of Moy sign. Hence, it is technically an illegal sign since it exceeds both the 4-foot minimum length and the 9-square foot area standard. The two new signs added to the existir~ sign would equal a total area of approximately 170 square feet. Section 55.38, the existi~ Mound Sign Code, does not establish standards for the review of signage in excess of 9 square feet. Because of this, the Planning Commission has the latitude to employ whatever they consider to be reasonable criteria. In defining reasonable criteria, one approach .is to refer tO the proposed sign ordinance draft. The proposed sign ordinance, which is admittedly not complete at this time, peunits .wall signs for businesses in the B-1 District. According to the draft provisions, such signs cannot exceed 10 percent of the total :wall area up to 48 square feet in area, whichever is smaller. The House of Moy Restaurant has a ~ront wall measuring 93 x 14 feet for a' total of 1,302 square feet. Since 10 percent of 1,302 feet equals 130 square feet, 48 square feet would be the maximum sign area permissible under the draft ordinance. The existin~ 'signage coupled with the new proposed signs totals 170 square feet which is 3-1/2 times the amount of the total allowable sign area in the .draft ordinance. The ordinance draft further prchibits roof signs in all districts. RECKON: The bk)y signage request ccmes at an interestin~ time since it provides a "real life" application of the standards in the proposed sign ordinance draft. The request raises two questions which must be addressed by the Planning Co~nission: (1) are roof signs appropriate in Mound and (2) what maximum signage area should be permitted within the central business (B-l) zone? If the Planning Ccmmission feels that the 48-square foot maximum contained in the ordinance draft is reasonable, the subject request should be denied and the applicant should be directed to modify the existing sign. If the Planning Commission feels that the 48-square foot maximum is overly restrictive, it should either suggest an acceptable maximum area or approve the Moy request which will establish 170 square feet or approximately 13.5 percent of the total wall area as the allowable maximum.

We have attempted to objectively review each proposal and have made a ccmparison of various work tasks for your review (see attached tabular ion). There appears to be very little difference in cost between the two proposals for similar work ($22,000-$24,000 for Soil Exploration and $22,658 for Braun Environmental). Braun Environmental proposes to continue the monitoring and testing of ground water for almost one year for a cost of $4~450. By the appearance of the det~ail on the wells, this testing obviously will be required. We believe both firms are technically, financially, and administratively qualified to do this work. Braun's proposal is somewhat more definitive and addresses the exact work items and their related costs somewhat more objectively. Soil Exploration intimates the possibility of revising some of the boring locations to minimize drilling costs, and presumably this is the reason for the range of fees. Braun Environmental's work program is well defined and is proposed to be systematically conducted to possibly reduce the amount of work necessary or to advise you of the need to modify the investigative nature of this work. Due to obvicus conditions beyond the control of this contractor, the possibility of major additional ccmponents of work may beccme necessary. Oo ..Mr. Jon Elam Page Two April 3, 1984 The value of surveying the site with a magnetometer is not identified in either proposal. We estimate this cost, in conjunction with other w~)rk on the site, would be a few hundred dollars '(one man day $35 x $8 = $280~)-. We believe the use of a ma~net~meter has some value but is dependent upon depth of wastes and either the material wasted or the mass of the waste containment. Soil Exploration has done some previous explorations in the area, however, this has not made a recognizable difference in the two proposals. Comparing the two proposals, the risk/difficulty appear to be of mutual consideration by the two firms. Soil Exploration indicated the potential need for a backhoe to trench and/or remove waste materials and indicated this was not part of their proposal. We concur with their c~nt and believe Braun would also be of the same opinion. Scme consideration should be given to the use of a small backhoe to trench through the site to allow visual, chemical, and mechanical testing of soils and wastes. The costs would probably not be significantly different than for the four exploratory borings and may eliminate the four exploratory borings. In summary, ~ believe that costs, value received, and ability to conduct the work by the two firms to be a'wash and feel that either firm is capable of satisfactorily cc~pleting the work. In closing, our suggestion is to choose the firm which your organization is the most cc~fortable with. Very truly yours, Darrell D. Hammond, P.E.

Vice March 22, 1984 Mr. Jon Elam City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Dear Mr. Elam: Attached is our proposal to conduct an environmental and foun- dation investigation on the property located northwest of City Hall. The scope of work is a direct result of requests and requirements of the developer, his architect and staff of the Minnesota Pollution Control. Agency. Briefly summarized, this scope entails the following points. A. Eight 1OO-foot soil borings to evaluate soils for .£oundation support. Four 25-foot borings to evaluate the site for the presence of wastes. C e Three groundwater monitoring wells to allow sampling and analysis of groundwater. D. Chemical laboratory analysis of soil samples. Ee Chemical laboratory analysis of groundwater, five times during a one year period F. Analysis and report preparation. We propose to accomplish the work outlined in this proposal in a stepwise fashion. Ou~ first phase will be to install the ground- water monitoring wells around the perimeter of the property and to conduct four borings (two 100-foot and two 25-foot) on the interior portions of the site. If significant problems, either environmental or foundation are encountered the project could be modified or terminated at this time. Based on the results of the first step the specific locations of subsequent borings may pro- vide better information to evaluate either the environmental or foundation aspects of this project.

We have reviewed the development plans for a housing project on a pzrcel of city owned land which had previously been 'used as an open dump. We were requested to contact the developer and his architect and to ascertain what type of foundation investigation should be conducted on the site. In addition, we were asked to contact the Minnesota P~llution Control Agency to determine what type of information would be necessary to evaluate the potential hazardous waste nature of this site. This site is included on the list of 61 MPCA hazardous ~waste sites. This site may have been the recipient of paint solvents, sludges, filters and unused paint from the Tonka~Corporation over a long period of time. This study is intended to determine the developability of the site from the standpoint of environmental concerns as well as foundation considerations. Since our meeting in your office we have met with the developer, Kraus-Anderson, his architect, BWBR, as well as Mr. Bob Dulliuger and Mr. John Madole of the MPCA. Our approach to the project is outlined below. It is not possible to specify the exact amount of work necessary to address the site. We propose to conduct this evaluation'in a stepwise fashion. It has been our experience with these types of Environmentat Testing and Consulting Services AlSO SeTving th~u othce$ in H,bb~n~. St Clou~l. R0chesler. an~ St Paul ~N ~ W,LIiSl0n. ND & BilhnD$. MT City of Mound .? -2- March 22, 1984 evaluations that proceeding in a stepwise fashion allows one to modify the investigation as .information becomes available, mini- mizing the risk that unnecessary effort would be~· expended and optimizing the information obtained from the work conducted. SCOPE We propose to conduct twelve borings. Eight borings will be con- ducted in the interior site at proposed corner locations of the building to be constructed. These borings will be conducted to a depth of 100 feet each, with 3 1/4-inch I.D. hollow-~tem auger. Soil samples will be taken for soil classification as well as possible chemical evaluations at 2 1/2-foot increments until the boring has proceeded 5 feet through organic soil. From that point to the boring's termination, samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals. Samples will be collected utilizing a split barrel sampler. The sampler will be rinsed with methanol and deionized water between each sampling. The preliminary geotechnical foundation investigation will eva- luate the soils for foundation support. However, extensive orga- nic soils are anticipated so a deep foundation system will likely be required to support the bUilding. The foundation report will provide pile length estimates for pipe piles for 50 and lO0-ton capacities, and timber piles for 20-ton capacities. Four borings will be conducted outside of the building footprint to further evaluate the site for hazardous wastes. Thse borings will be conducted to a depth of 25 feet, with 3 1/4-inch I.D. hollow-stem auger. Soil samples will be taken for soil classifi- cation and chemical analysis at 2 1/2-foot intervals. Samples will be collected utilizing a split barrel sampler. The samples will be rinsed with methanol and deionized water between each sampling. Split spoo.n samples will be evaluated with an organic vapor ana- lyzer immediately after collection in the field in order to determine the amount of .organic materials present. The total hydrocarbons results of this evaluation will be recorded and made part of the evaluation. Three monitor Wells will also be installed on the exterior por- tion of the site, one on the north side of Shoreline Road and two between the historic dump and the hake. Borings would be conducted to depths of 25 feet with a 6-inch I.D. hollow-stem auger. Soil samples will be taken for soil classification and chemical analysis at 2 1/2-foot intervals. The split barrel sampler used for collecting samples will be rinsed with methanol and deionized water between samples. City of MoUnd ,~ -3- March 22, 1984 GroUndwater monitoring wells consisting of 2-inch threaded PVC, with a lO-foot section of O.01 slot screen will be installed in the three exterior borings. The screen will be packed with Ottawa sand, and a bentonite seal will be placed, above the screen. A grout mixture of bentonite and cement will be placed from the bentonite seal to the ground ~urface. A protective pipe with a locking cap will be placed around the protruding riser pipe to prevent vandalism. The monitoring wells will be deve- loped utilizing a surge block and pump to remove water from the wells. A stabilization test will be conducted for each well. The monitoring wells will be sampled and chemical analyses con- ducted five times during the first year of the program. Samples will be collected initially after installation, 2 months after installation, and then at three month intervals until year end. Field evaluations conducted at the time of sampling will include determining water level elevations, conductivity, temperature and pH. Prior to collecting samples for chemical analysis, the groundwater monitoring wells will be purged with a submersible pump so that five volumes of water will be removed from the wells prior to sample collection. The wells will then be allowed to refill prior to sampling. Samples will be collected utilizing a stainless steel bailer for~ the organic samples and a Teflon bailer for the. metal samples. Between samPling, the submersible pump will be thoroughly rinsed with deionized water and the bailers will be rinsed with methanol followed by deionized water. Samples will be collected in glass VOA screw top vials and linear polyethylene bottles. Each sample will be identified with a waterproof label containing the sample number, date sampled, sample ~site, preservatives added, and the name of- the sampler. Water samples will be analyzed for volatile halogenated and non- halogenated hydrocarbons according'to EPA method 502.1 and 503.1 (EPA #600/4-81-O598). A Tracor gas chromatograph equipped with a Hall electrolytic detector and a photoionization detector (PID), will be used. A Techmar purge and trap device will be used to concentrate the sample and increase sensitivity.. The gas chroma- tograhic data will be recorded and integrated by a Hewlett-Packard automatic processing device. Metalm (As, Ba, 'Cd, Ct, Pd, Hg, Fe, and Au) will be analyzed according to, EPA Methods for Analysis of Water and Wastewater, 1974 and 1979. The metals analysis will be conducted on a Varian atomic absorption spectrophotometer Model 475-A equipped with a CRA-90 graphite furnace. We have proposed the collection of a large number of soil samples for potential chemical analysis. Depending on the results of the field investigation with the organic vapor analyzer, only ENVIRONMENTAL LAI~ORATORIE City of Mound ~2 -4- March 22, 1984 selected soil samples will be analyzed ~in the laboratory by the "head space" technique to determine the amount of volatile hydro- carbons present in the soil.' Soil samples will be digested and analyzed for metals according to the appropriate procedures described in the above cited reference. We have assumed that 12 soil samples will be analyzed for volatiles and metals.~ If that number should expand or contract, our costs would be adjusted accordingly. Following the collection of data, a report will be prepared which will summarize the procedures used, present the result§ obtained, and analyze the ~esults with respect to both the environmental evaluation and foundation investigation. Addendums to the report will be submitted following subsequent sampling and chemical ana- lysis events. Members of our staff will be available to meet with yourself, members of the City Council, the MPCA staff, deve- loper, or others to discus~the results of this study. Braun Environmental Laboratories and its parent firm, Braun Engineerfng Testing, have the capabilities and experience to complete this investigation. A descrLption of our background and project experience is attached to this proposal for your con- sideration. ~ The work performed will be conducted in accordance with the pro- cedures recommended by the MPCA and the Minnesota Department of Health, including the recommended practice~for well installation, water sampling and chemical analysis. Wells proposed on this project will be installed under the supervision, of a Monitor Well~ Engineer. Laboratory analysis will be performed in accordance with established EPA methodolgy. Analysis will be performed utilizing wet chemistry, atomic absorption and gas chromatographic tech- niques. A formal quality control program is standard procedure in our laboratory for every project.

WlI-]'MAN executive vice president CLINTON R. EUE secretary/treasurer HOMEOF~ICE: ST. PAUL, MN OFFICES IN: MANKATO, MN ROCHESTER, F WAITE PARK, Description of Project We understand the site is being considered for development. Preliminary plans call for two five-story condominium buildings and associated one-story construction including entrance areas and garage structures. The site occupies approximately f~ve acres and we understand it was used for disposal of construction debris. Because of potential hazardous waste that may have been disposed of on this site, it has been placed on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency list of potential hazardous waste disposal sites. This site is referred to as HN-O12 in the MPCA closed dump file. AS A MUTUAL PROTECTION TO CLIENTS. THE PUBLIC AND OURSELVES. ALL REPORTS ARE SUBMITTED AS THE CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF THE CLIENT City of Mound March 21, 1984 Page Two Anticipated Subsurface Conditions Soil Exploration Company has put down soil test borings in the area of the existing service station. These borings indicate an extremely variable soil profile. Typically, the soil profi.le consists of about 10' of fill underlain.by a few feet of swamp deposits, in turn underlain by interlayered fine alluvium, mixed alluvium and coarse alluvium, underlain by sandy clay and clayey sand glacial till. The glacial till soils also contain layers of interbedded coarse alluvial silty sand. An-exception to the generalized soil profile is indicated in one of the three previous soii'test borings. This boring encountered about 9 1/2' of fill underlain by probable fill or mixed alluvium to a depth of about 44' below grade. The probable fill or mixed alluvi'al soils consists of a mixture of clayey sand, sandy clay, silty clay and 'silty sand. These soils are e~tremely soft and have a relatively low sheer strength, based on the penetration resistance (N values). We anticipate the soil conditions on this site will also include a layer of 1~ill at the surface, underlain by swamp deposits .and soft alluvial soils, in turn underlain by glacial tilt. It is quite probable the depth of fill and swamp deposits will be greater in the proposed building area than were encountered in the area of the existing service station. PurjDose of Study The purpose of our study will be to determine whether any hazardous waste may exist on the site, check for groundwater contamination and also explore t. he general subsurface conditions to provide opinions and recommendations for support of the proposed buildings and lower floor slabs., along with providing recommendations for on-grade parking and roadway areas.. Scope of Services Our scope of services will include geophysical testing, test borings, monitoring wells, laboratory soil tests (including E.P. toxicity leach tests and flash-point tests) and a geotechnical engineering analysis. The factual data and recommendations will be included in the report to you. Typically, our proposed scope of work is as follows: City of Mound March 21, 1984 Page Three Scope of Services Reviewing readily available information regarding hydro- geologic conditions to aid in determining., on a preliminary basis, groundwater flow directions. Performing a geophysical investigation using a magnetometer to attempt to outline areas which may have received barrels or drums. Installing monitoring w6)ls at three locations within filled areas to aid in determining near surface groundwater conditions in regards to flow directions and water quality. The proposed monitoring well locations will be based, in part, upon the results of the geophyslcal exploration. A diagram illustrating our proposed monitoring well construction and materials is attached. me During the drilling all soil samples collected from fill areas will be observed for visual contamination and will be tested for the presence of volatile organic compounds using a port_able photo-analyzer. Up to four samples which exhibit total volatile organic concentrations in excess of 20 parts per million (mg/kg) will also be subjected to flashpoint analysis. In addition, up to four soil samples Will be subjected to E. P. toxicity leach extractions and the subsequent leachate analyzed for specific heavy metal concentrations as requested by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. In addition to the environmental testing standard 'penetration test borings will be taken to depths varying from about 60' to 100' below existing grade to evaluate subsoils for support of the proposed buildings. The estimated boring depths and Suggested locations are indicated on the attached sketch. Some of the boring locations may be adjusted slightly to minimize the amount of drilling required to satisfy both environmental and geotechni'cal needs. Recommend possible foundation types for the proposed buildings. Based on our preliminary review, it appears at this time that a pile foundation will likely be required. City of Mound March 21, 1984 · Page Four 7. Provide recommendations for support of lower floor slabs. Recommend grading procedures in on-grade parking and roadway areas and estimate potential settlement that may' occur due to underlying compressible soils. Fees Our fees for the services will be charged on the basis of our current schedule of fees, a copy of which~is attached. For the scope of work discussed above, we estimate the"cost would be in the range of $18,000 to $20,000. We further estimate that about 60% of the above figure would be realized due to the environmental study. The MPCA has also indicated to us that they m~y require several trenches be excavated on this site,if drums or barrels are indicated in the geophyscial testing. We have not included any costs that may be incurred due to the trenching. Conditions If different subsurface conditions than those anticipated are encountered, which we feel would warrant additional work beyond the scope described above, we would propose to perform such work at, additional cost. If this situation arises, we would discuss the additional work with you and receive your written approval before proceeding. The attached page entitled "GENERA[ CONDITIONS OF GEOTECHNICAL AGREEMENT" are part of this proposal. Performance Schedule Weather permitting, we should be able to begin field work on this project within about two weeks after receiving the signed contract from you. We expect about 12 to 15 days will be required to complete the field portion of our work. We further estimate that the final report could be completed about two weeks after completion of our field work.

Please attach this addendum to your copy of our original proposal. On Page 3 of our proposal Item 3 calls for installing monitoring wells at three locations. In addition to installation of the wells we have included in our cost evaluation of five Water samples at a unit cost of $250.'00 each. In addition to the eight borings that will be put down in the proposed building area we have also included the cost of four additional borings outside the building area. We have estimated a total lineal footage of about 200'.for these borings. OFFICERS: CHARLES W. BRITZIUS chairman of the board NORMAN E. HENNING president ROBERT F.

Our original proposal was based on four of each of the above tests.. These additional tests will add approximately }~O00, to the previously estimated $18,000 to $20,000. Please also note that we did not include any cost for trench excavating should it be required. These cost are very indeterminate at, this time. I~f barrels or drums are encountered this will require retaining a"specialty contractor to do the trenching and dispose of the materials properly. The cost for this service could be very expensive.

It is my recommendation that we purchase the floating dock and rafts as described in the quotes. These will greatly reduce our installation and removal time, but most important it provides us with a safe underdock method of mounting. No poles will protrude above the dock surface. Serv-a-dock supplied us with the lowest price on the Follans- bee dock system. Serv-a-dock is charging a fee of $225.00 to deliver, assemble, install and fabricate a mounting system for the sections at Mound Bay Park. The other supplier does not offer this service. I recommend that we purchase the equipment from Serv-a-dock.

Because of developments in the Lost Lake and Town Square projects, I am proposing to reallocate funds in four separate funds, i.e. PRESENT REVISED FUNDS BALANCE. BALANCE AVAILABLE 712/756 9,344 '4,000 5,344 752/757 17,420 5,000 12,420 252 5,822 -O- 5,822 754 25,000 10,O00 15,000 TOTALS 57,585 19,000 38,585 This balance would be transferred to: 755 8,778 38,'585 47,363 T~is should allow us to complete everything listed in a timely manner. I am putting this on the April 10th Agenda. Does this all seem O.K.? On a separate issue, I didn't pursue the allocation of $5,000 for 'Rental Rehab the other evening since I don't have any proposed projects or units. As we get some, I will take $5,000 either from this years or the'new propos~.l.' With that exception, the Council unanimously approved the 1984 proposal. A resolution will follow soon. JE:fc eric.

U'~ - B I I o ~ 0 ~ Z I 0 I I I I 0 · ~ ,.-3 [-~ 0 NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF F,UNDS REMAINING ,017 - WESTONKA SENIOR HOUSING These are the remaining unused funds left over from the land purchase for the Senior Citi.zen Building on Commerce Blvd. We have earmarked the $6,496 balance for further landscaping once the project is completed. The initial landscape is very sparce to say the least. 252 - SPECIAL ASSESSHENT.GRANTS '/ Each year we have set aside funds to assist any applicants who might be eligible for any new special assessment projects. We don't have any projects and I've again set funds aside in the .d984-85 Budget. Consequently, by eliminating this from the 1983-84 project, we are not eliminating this option for the future· Balance $5,822. 572 - REHABILITATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY These funds are set aside for further housing rehabilitation. These are .contracted thru Hennepin County. Although not spent, the $25,332 balance has been fully obligated to Mound residents. 712/756 - DOWNTOWN DESIGN GRANTS With a balance of $9,3~, based on the applications we've seen up to this point and those I am aware of, I think we could reduce this balance down to $4,000· .~52/757 - REDUCED INTEREST COMMERCIAL LOANS Initially, this program was where the action was, but once we received the $100,000 of HUD Jobs Bill Funds (the 2% Loan Program), that has picked up the slack. This was meant to be a Store Front Improvement Program that would integrate the Downtown Design Proposal by using 71 2/756 (above) with 752/757. With a balance of $17,420 and no applications on hand, I t~'ink we could reduce this balance to $5,000 and reallocate these funds to the Lost Lake and Town Square Projects. 754 - TONKA TOYS PLANT REUSE Initially, we set aside $25,000 to develop a marketing plan for finding a buyer for the Tonka facility· This seems to have been accomplished. The next step is to develop a com'munity marketing plan to secure new businesses for the facility.-I feel this effort will cost $10,000. Thus, I am proposing~to reduce this balance from $25,000 to $10,000. 755 - DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT FINANCING STUDY This is the fund I would propose to transfer the surplus funds into. On the drawing boards we have the following: Lost Lake Soil & Hazardous Waste Study Town Square Soil & Land Survey Lost Lake Housing Marketing Study Misc. Studies & Evaluations $20,000 5,000 10,000 2,000 TOTAL . $37,000 With a balance of $8,778, the' fund is clearly short. By transferring funds from the following projects, these activities can be completed. PRESENT REVISED FUNDS BA.~ANCE ,BALANCE AVAILABLE 712/756 9,344 4,000 5,344 .752/757 17,420 5,000 12,420 252. 5,822 ---0- 5,822 754 25,000 ~0,000 15,000 TOTALS $57,585 $19,000 $38,585 In the 1984-85 Projects I have tried to pick up the areas we are reducing (because of lack of demand). 803/808 - ADMINISTRATION Balance $5,604. I've been working for t~e last two months on developing a special consultant position (i.e. Bill Husbands) in the areas of commercial and economic development. I have spoken with a number of "experts" who think it could add a great deal to our abilities when negoti.ating with Balboa and other developers, particularly when '~'t comes~to securing new business development. Although my thoughts on this are coming together, I don't expect to have them to you before the April 10th Meeting? I would propose to use the majority of these fund~ for the demonstration effort. Thus I would leave it as it is. R14 - REMOVAL OF ARCHITECTURAL BARRIERS This project was used to fund the handicapped ramp at the Pond Arena. The cost was $2,300, of which these funds contributed $1,250. If any of these funds remain unspent as we go into this Fall, I think as the next_major project on City Hall we need to combine HUD CDBG funds and Federal Revenue Sharing funds to ]DS$@li an elevator in City Hall. Jan is presently putting the estimates together, but I am projecting the costs to be 10. around $50,000. I think this would satisfy one of the biggest problems ~he City has, other than not having a place to store Public Work's equipment. ~4 - COMMERCIAL FIX-UP/?AINT-U? Remaining balance $B,391. An important but small program, it has reached several businesses we otherwise wouldn't have, i.e. Mound 'K' Station, Century Auto Body. Hopefully, business for this program will increase as Summer- comes. If we don't have any takers by June BOth, I would~ propose eliminating the effort rat~er than lose the funds. 537 XXXXXXXX ~~ · o April 5, 1984 CITY of MOUND 5~41 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: CITY MANAGER RE: DOCK INSPECTOR'S JOB CONTRACT Enclosed is the proposed Contract with Del Rudolph for the 1984 dock inspection session.

Signed Mayor A~es~ed City Clerk ,I I II II league of minnesota cities RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS On Friday, March 30, the Senate Local and Urban Government Committee passed S.F. 2091 (Taylor) which would prohibit all cities and counties from imposing residency requirements on their employees. The bill's companion, H.F. 322 (Piepho) has also received committee approval and is on the House floor. The bills, as originally introduced, would have allowed cities to restrict employees only to the school district encompassing the city. The House Committee amended H.F. 322 to allow a 10-mile restriction and a Minnesota residency restriction. The Senate altered the bill to simply prohibit residency requirements. A 1981 law prohibits residency requirements in the metropolitan area, and the Senate bill merely extends the prohibition. If you feel that local control should be retained or favor residency requirements please contact your senators and representatives. The League is trying to at least get clarifying language allowing a city to impose a response time or area restriction if it is a relevant job necessity (such as for police and fire employees and snow plow operators). COMPARABLE WORTH On Friday, March 30, the Senate Employment Committee heard S.F. 1687 (Berglin) which would have required cities to undertake job evaluation studies. At the urging of local government representatives, the committee amended the bill to "encourage" rather than "require" cities, counties, and schools to begin adopting comparable worth pay systems. The bill now goes to the Senate Finance Committee. The House Local and Urban Affairs Committee will hear the bill Thursday, April 5 and will vote on it Monday, April 9 at 12:00 in Room 83. Action on the floors is also likely. Please contact your legislators and advocate the League position of passing a permissive, not mandatory, bill that addresses the issue of comparable worth in a cooperative manner through solid provisions eliminating or modifying barriers to pay equity and encouraging local units to examine the issue and address it in a fashion suitable for local conditions. Please contact the League if you have questions regarding this issue, proposed legislation, and/or the League's policy. -more- '183 university aoenue ease, sC. paul, minnesoSa 551 01 [61 2) 227-56©0 PROGRESS REVIEW LEGAL NOTICE In the past week, both the Senate and House Local and Urban committees held hearings on S.F. 1298/H.F. 1302, the Minnesota Newspaper Association's Legal Notice Bill. Both committees passed nea!ly identical bills. The League and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities'strongly opposed a section of the bill which would have required the city'to publish at least a summary of all council proceedings in the city's legal newspaper. The small cities association did not testify on the bill even though small cities with part-time clerks would have been inordinately affected. The ~ and the LMC were successful in at least getting an amendment on the bill which requires a city, within a 30-day period following a meeting (either regular or special), to publish the official council proceedings, a summary of the proceedings conforming to the bill's requirements, or a condensed version of the official minutes. The House committee deleted a provision allowing the publication of an agenda describing each item which came before the council at that meeting and including the.title of every ordinance or resolution the council adopted, in favor of the more general language allowing f~r publication of a condensed version of the official minutes. It is unclear at this time whether an agenda indicating council action on particular items would meat the statutory requirements. Smaller cities should be particularly i{terested in finding out that townships, even those exercising urban powers, are excluded from the publication section of the bill. An amendment, offered by Representative Virgil Johnson, which would have deleted the publication of proceedings section, was defeated by the House committee. There may be amendments offered on the House floor which either delete the section or limit its applicability to cities over a certain population. Another section of the bill would allow line rates for legal publications, which are currently set by statute at 24 cents per line to increase by a maximum of 10 percent annually. The argument the newspapers put forth is that they have in effect been subsidizing legals for the last few years and that it is inappropriate for the Legislature to specif~ what a newspaper may charge.~ To make this argument on behalf of newspapers, which hold virtual monopolies, while requesting legislation mandating cities to publish information of questionable value is wholly inconsistent. =The Legislature has ignored the inconsistency to this time, however, and there is little hope that the state senators and representatives will recognize the inconsistency and/or act to remedy the situation. k~at you should do as city officials If you feel that this legislation imposes an expensive, useless mandate on cities, let your legislators know. Your lobbyists have been informed that very few legislators have received comments stating concern with the bill. If you need additional information call the League or AMM. We expect the Legislature to take quick action so please do not delay if you hope to have any impact.

Also present were the following interested persons: Councilman Gary Paulsen, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Paumen, Glenn Hill and Gregory Gustafson for Superamerica, Jon [._. ' Scherven and Arthur Peterson. The Chairman opened the meeting and welcomed those in attendance. MINUTES The minutes'of the Planning Comml.sslon meeting of February 27, 1984 were-presented for consideration. Jensen moved and Michael seconded a motion to approve the minutes as presented. The vote was unanim~)~usly in favor. BOARD OF APPEALS. Public Hearing Case No. 84=308 Zoning Amendment Request ~or Gas Station-Convenience Store Superamerica Stations, Inc. Re:' 5377 Shoreline Boulevard Metes & Bounds Description, Block.4, Shirley Hills unit F Glenn Hill of:SuperameriCa Stations and Gregory Gustafson, Attorney, were present. City Planner Mark Koegl.er provided some background explaining that Superamerica had met with the City Staff~a couple .of weeks ago and what underlies this whole thing .is'they want to remove the Metro'5OO'Station and replace it with a Super- .. america Station. They submitted .an application and when the 'C']ty starte'd to. review that we .soon realized the only way to accomplish the removal and replace- ment of stations was to amend 'the Zoning Ordinance's B-1 provisions to allow a convenience store motor' fuel station within the district. They cou.ldn't apply for a conditional use p. ermit because the ordinance doesn't allow gas stations in the B-.1 Distri.ct; so the first thing we have to address is the amendment and sub- sequently t.h.ey can apply for a conditional use and if that's approved, for the station itself. So' the issue is the Zoning .Amendment---it is nothing that necessar~l'~/ cites particularly to the Metro 500 or Superamerica Stations. They just happen to be the' party that is initiating the request. 'The request the Commission is asked to consider is an-amendment to allow "Motor:fuel station- convenience store" az a conditional use within the B-1 district. The Zoning Ordinance presently defines .two types of gas stations'; one is more convenience .stOre oriented and tl~e other is more the tradition service type facility. Ques-" tion we get to 'is whether service stations are appropriate land uses within the B-1 District. There are at least 5 services .stations at the present time within the B-I District all grandfa'thered in. In looking at those from a Staff point of view, there didn't seem to be any major use problems associated with the facilities; there are some individual site problems. The present Superamerica Station is an example of a station on too small a parcel of land and has some conflict with traffic particularly when fuel is being delivered and so forth. The existing Zoning does spell out that there are certain performance standards for pet'roleum faciliti'es; 20,000 s'quare feet lot area requirement, set back re- quirements, etc.. that any facility would have to meet regardless of what district it was in. Those particular criteria would still apply if Commission were to amend the B-1 District to allow the motor fuel stations as a conditional use. Planning Commission Minutes March 12, !984 ~ Page 2 " The Planne'r sugg~t&d that in addition to looking at whethe~ "motor fuel-convenience :: store" is appl.icable to B-I, motor fuel service stations .such as Amoco Service Sta~ 'tlon'should also be .addressed. Some'of the existing uses that are permitted or - permitted on a conditional use basis w.ithin the'.B-1 district'were looked at and com- pare~ in terms of'.intensity~ Minor auto repai~,.;tire and battery, shops, boat and marine sales are.allowed'in B-1 and he.didn't think a service station was a more intensive use. .Gas stations .that 'are in the.ar.ea seem to be working-.~airly well _=,, and he Could see no reason',why' they shouldn't be' legitimized. His recommendation ~ would be to add.both the traditional motor, fuel.station and the motor fuel statlon~ convenience store go the B-1 as a conditional use. ~ - '' Disdussed that all gas stations in B-1 are grandfa~hered in, still ~onconformlng .and can't be rebuilt if moFe.thah'50% destroyed;;.that Metro hasn't been vacant more than 12 mon.thS, but the nonconformiog status'plrec~udes.expansion.

Planning Commission Minutes March 12, 1984 - Page 3 The Building Official explained that the lot-spill'.is self-explanatory on the ~ survey. Existing house is about 3 feet off of what the Zoning Ordinance now would require on a corner lot; bot subdivision hasn't anything to do with the existing home. Parcel B (south lot) is proposed to be 7,493 square f~et'and' the minimum requirement is 6,000 square feet. Zoning is R-3 which allows a duplex with 12,000 square feet. Minimum frontage would be 40 feet on the street. Lot more than meets the mini.mum requirements for a single family home. The Pauments are probably looking at sometime, dividing off another lot. ..

The .. descriptions, are on application. Michael moved and'Jensen'..seconded a motion.to approve the lot-split sub- division. .The vote was 'unanimously. in favor. The Bui'lding Official explained that she ha'd one. additional item (handed out at the meeting) and she wanted to go over a.couple of things in Zoning.Book. The' R-1 Zoning District basically carries forward to the other residentially.zoned districts for permitted and accessory uses for each of the districts. Mr. Arthur Peterson of'4872 Leslie .Road was present and is proposing .to construct an accessory building on his property. .. The permitted accessory uses allo~.garages; fences; gardening and other horti- cultural'uses Where no's'ale of products is. conducted on the site; one lodging- room per s'~ngle family dweIl.ing~ lawn, garden an'd utility building; recreation equipment; open of.f-street parking.spaces not to exceed 3 per dwelling; and private docks. The Building Official's question is '~e have no ~eal definition of what a lawn~ garden.and utility building is?"' The'request is to construct a 18 by 24 fOot building with a single garage door, screened house on a site that is placed in rear ~ard not really intended ~o get to by vehicle because of the sideyard setback. She is asking for clarification of use of "utility building". Discussed that in .rear is 12 foot hill to Monmouth; on west is neighbor's back yard; on east is 8 foot hill and Leslie Road is in front of house. Proposal here is for storage and screened room On one side and 16 foot high loft and some kind of shop. Peterson stated "not a.shop" Reason he wanted building to go high in front is that it faces south; he'll put windows up there and have light coming in and make use of the sun to heat the place a bit. The City Manager questioned, "never be in position to be converted to living space?" Peterson responded no. There will be no plumbing and no heat except a wood burning stove to heat place a bit in the dead of winter. Peterson stated he'd use building for off season storage of boat, storage of snOwblower, lawnmowers, bicyles, tenting Pl~nnlng Commission Hinutes March 12, .19B6 -' Page 4 and camping equipment. Jansen questioned'how he gets back there. Paterson stated for boat and-off season equipment, he can go up alongside his house and.that he has'lO feet on. west'side of his'.house...Garage door faces south. The upper'floor would be used for'camping equipment storage -- will be either · just. 2 X 4!s or 2 ~ 6.' floor joists.

The vote Was unanimously in favor. There was not a meeting in February. REPORTS Council Representative Phyllis Jessen,reported that .the City. bad the hearing on the Lagoon Park'.land trade with M[~ Podany and the action, that was taken was to decline trading the land. She ex'~lained pa~k-land ~as given ia trust to the City. .The Park Director Chris B°llis reported that the citizen's committee has finished the screening process for a Dock Inspector and made their recommendation and as a 'result Del Rudo'lph has been hired and will he.tarring April 1st. The Chairman and one or two commissioners questioned if A1 & Alma's.Commercial Dock'application request ~should not have'come'before the Park Commission because of the impact on the beach. Council Representative explained that it had been considered~by the Planni.ng Commission because 6f. the commercial in. residential ('zoning) requirement for a conditional usepermit. Jessen gave some background on request; they had purchased property on the other side of beach, and came in asking to put docks in front of that property for.the 4 cruise bo~ts; they would fence off the.beach to.make'it'safer. 'The other docks were transient dockage and LMCD said they definitely co~ld'not board peoPle on the ~ransient dock. The condition's imposed by the Council will hopefully.make 'it as safe as possible for both the boaters and persons using beach. The P~rk Director stated that in the . past, the Park Comm!ssion hasn!t deal~t with commercial docks, but this could have been discussed by the Commission.~ [~FEGUARD PROGRAM Community Services Director Don Ulrick introduced 'Maurine Donlin who was hired last May to replace Deb Kullberg. Maurine's title is Recreation CoOrdinator.for Community Services. Ulrick explained they were here. to do a couple of things: One thing is the decision specifically t.o continue to provide lifeguard service for the City beaches and then once that is decided, he had some other considerations he'd like to talk about.' He gave a little background on the.program including that 3 summers ago, the program was expanded .because ~f citizen concerns to include 5 other beaches besides Mound Bay Park: Bluebird, Centerview, Wychwood, Chester and Pembroke and those were to be guarded in the afternoon from 1 to 4, 7 days a week starting after school was out until the attendance dropped off. Guarding of the beach at Mound Bay Park went from Memorial weekend to Labor Day - last year hours changed to cover from I1 to 7 P.M. because of the after dinner activity. Ulrick explained that last year was not an easy year because it was a transition time and the person' running the program decided in April not to. Specifically, the reason for changing the character of that employment was that they ended up Park CommiSsion M~nute~ . March 8, 1984 - .Page 2 with an individual running a lifeguard .program that the City of'Mound and his o~fice were responsible for out of her home and it simply wasn't working. The teenagers didn't.recognize'they worked for the City and there were other problems. Debbie · chose not to work full time and subsequently he advertised,~ got 55 applicants and 'Maurine was hired. Debbie's. last day was-July 1 and the July 4th week, they brought in every lifeguard and talked to them. Ulrick related that he.had.directed Debbie to hire the applicants from college; they wanted all older, more mature life- guards.~ He was frustrated'on finding that those, persons hired had worked all year at t'he .p~ol; they needed'to break UP the cliques. Last year, the Park Director Botlis.'and Ulrick worked on a written agreement which was generated by the account- ants who asked what authority are-you paying these .people on? Now there are other things that need to be developed to further clarify exactly what is' expected. All this comes back to whether you want to continue the l!fegua~d service, take it over yourselves or. hire someone else? The budget last year was $11,600. A lot of young.·people who bad'not worked long.were hired and-because·of the sliding scale for pay, $7,800 was the actual· cost. This covered the Supervisor, mileage and in- service. The~.budget was estimat~ one# of hours with nothing taken out fOr rain days. Whether we chose to contract again or.run progra~ ourselves was discussed briefly. The Chairman felt too-many members were absent tonight to make a fina~ decision. The Park Direc.t~r. tbought that,'as this is big_~apital item, if we are going to take· it over, we will need as much time as·possible. It was agreed to have a Special Park Commission meetin~ on March 2·2, 1984 (Thursday) at ·7:00 P.M. .Ulrick Wishes to be present at meeting; he will'send copies of last year's agreement"and aSked what g~oup!S expectations·are; he will be prepared for question aod answer~'session. A~so', 'it was.suggested'that Jackie Meyer be present at the meeting. All commission members are to·be called and the Chairman adv. ised of. attendance at that meeting. · -- Ulrick reviewed'briefly·the Youth.Employment P.rogram which is a!so included in the agreement.

FRENCH SUPERINTENDENT & SECRETARY TO THE BOARD March 15, 198~1 Mr. Pinky Charon 5341 Maywood Rd. Mound, MN 55364 Dear Councilman Charon: For several years, the question of what might be the most appropriate method of financing regional park operations in Hennepin County has gone unresolved. To be certain, this is a complex issue, involving relationships among three regional park implementing agencies, the park reserve district, the City of Bloomington, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, as well as' the Hennepin County Board of Com_m~ssioners and the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission. In the end, it is likely that resolution of the issue will rest in the hands of the Minnesota Legislature. I am writing to you today to clarify for you the position of the Board of Commissioners of the Hennepin County Park Res- erve District on this issue. After extensive discussion and consideration of the many questions related to funding regional park operations in Henne- pin County, the District's Board agreed to seek passage of legislation that would create a single, Hennepin County-wide tax source for operating revenues of all regional parks in Hennepin County. Currently, each of the three regional park implementing agencies levies a separate tax to provide opera- ting revenues. The Board chose to support this approach over other alternatives for a n~mber of reasons. First, the County-wide regional park levy would recognize the role played by both the City of Bloomington and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board in fulfilling a portion of the county/regional park needs within the county. By recognizing the important role these two agencies fill on behalf of county residents, through a county- wide funding source, the future ability of the county/regional park system to serve county needs will be reasonably well assu- red. In addition to this, the county~wide regional park levy preserves what we believe is a very appropriate funding relationship for a public service: the cost of funding the service will be borne primiarily by those who receive the primary benefit from the service, namely, the taxpayers of Hennepin County. We believe strongly that any resolution to the funding issue must preserve this re- lationship. The District will not seek passage of legislation needed to implement the Hennepin County-wide regional park tax levy during the 1984 session of the leg- islature. With the short session and busy legislative calendar, it is clear to us that we would not have sufficient opportunity to work through all the details of the legislative package, discuss them with all interested parties, and still meet appropriate deadlines. It is our intention, however, to continue pursuing support for our position over th9 next several months. While the District's Board is supporting this approach to funding regional park operations in Hennepin County, we are aware that the Metropolitan Council and its Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission are advancing a position in support of Metropolitan-wide funding of regional park operations. Such a pro- gram could be compatible with the position of the District' s Board if it were to provide only supplemental funding, distribute operating funds equitably, based on the cost of operation, and reduce the impact of regional park operating ex- penses on property taxes. At this point, we are not convinced the program being supported by the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission meets these re- quirements. Further, we are not convinced that the Metropolitan Park and Open Space Commission's position provides sufficient safeguards for the operating in- tegrity of implementing agencies or sufficient channels of public' accountability. We hope that these deficiencies will be corrected during the legislative process: We appreciate your continuing support for the development and operation of regional parks throughout the metropolitan area, and specifically the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. Should you have any questions about these mat- ters, please .don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, · David Latvaaho Minnesota Pollution Control Agency PUBLIC NOTICE OUTSIDE OPINION SOUGHT REGARDING IMP~ATION OF A PERMIT FEE RULE FOR A]]R QUALITY AND WAT~ QUALITY PERMITS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (agency) in response to LegisIative authorization is seeking information and opinions from sources outside the agency on the development of a permit fee rule.

I would call it a partial victory for Mound. As you know, we supported the Department of Public Service (DPS) staff in their attempt to Unbundle the Extended Area Service (EAS) rate from the monthly charge, and to move to an embedded cost approach to pricing EAS service. Non-Metro cities have two parts to their monthly bill, a line access charge and an EAS charge, while Metro cities pay only one charge with the EAS and line access services rolled together. In its filing, Continental proposed to raise the line access rates but not EAS rates. Accordingly, Continental raised Metro line access rates by about 29%, including the rolled-in EAS portion of the rate. At the same time, Continental proposed to increase only the line access portion of the non-Metro rates. This would mean that the Metro cities would pay a 29% increase on EAS while outstate cities would pay no increase on EAS rates. That kind of rate setting is unconscionable. The Commission rejected the DPS proposal for an embedded cost rate, and indicated that the Commission would soon establish new rules for developing an EAS charge. The good news is that the Commission directed Continental to recognize that the pre-filing $21.90 Metro rate consisted of a $13.80 line access rate and a $8.10 EAS rate. Continental will only apply its approximately 23.6 percent allowed rate increase to the $13.80 number. This will save each Mound (Metro) customer about $2.00 per month. The $2.00 saving will be decreased some because the revenue loss attributable to the $2.00 Metro reduction must be recovered on a statewide basis, including Metro, through an increase in the line access charge. I would guess that the net rate reduction attributable to the EAS issue for Mound would be about $1.70 per month. Mr. Jon Elam March 27, 1984 Page 2 WURST, PEARSON, HAMILTON, LARSON & UNDERWOOD The final rolled-in "Metro" rate should be about $25.40 per month as compared with the $28.30 proposed rate. The rest of the rate reduction, al)out $1.20, is attributable to other issues in the case such as cost of capital and allowable rate base and expenses. These numbers are just my estimates and the real numbers will not be known until Continental files revised rates consistent with the Order. I have attached pages 30 and:31 of the Commission Order. Part 2 of the Order, page 30, requires revised rates to be filed within 30 days, and paragraph 2(f) relates to the rate reduction for Metro EAS rates. If you have any questions relating to this* matter please feel free to contact Very truly yours, JDL:cnm Enclosure then possibly having to revise ~ rates a~ter the Co~missiou has consisted l~s reeva~uation of EA~ pricius, Therefore, the Connission rt~es ~or the C~lny'l ~hile the Co~nission has concluded thit KA~ rates should ~ot be revised th re~ec~ the embedded d~ect cost me~ho~o~o~y, ~t is persuaded by the DPS argunmn~l ~hat it ~uld be inequitable to increase the Company's metropolitin local exchange service rites which reflect both locil exchauge and metropolitan ZA~ cost co~onents while excludin~ outstate F.

Elam: As I indicated during our recent telephone conversation, after considerable passage of time we received the report of the Examiner of Titles in connection wi,t/n the above registration proceeding. One of the requirements of that report was that we furnish additional information re- garding ownership of adjoining land due to the existenCe of a fence line. The Examiner now has that information and has issued his supplemental report identifying additional defendants to be named in the Land Title Sunnmns. We are now preparing our Petition and0rder for Sunmonswhichwe expect to file with the Court this coming week. Based upon that Petition, the Court will order the issuance of a Land Title Summons which wewill publish in a local legal newspaper and serve personally on all defendants whosewhereabouts are known. Each defendant who is served personally willhave 20 days within which to file an Answer to the City's Application to Register Title. Defendants not served personally will have 42 days from the first date of publicationwithin which to file an Answer. Asmmning that there are no Answers filed within the period allowed by Statute, we will immadiatelyplace the case on the Court calendar to be heard as a default matter. In such event the proceeding would be concluded in the city's favor at the time of such Hearing. If one or moreAnswers are filed, objecting to the City's Application, it will of course be necessary to resolve those objections before the City's Application to Register Title is granted. I will advise you as soon as the Court issues the Land Title S~m~ns so that you will have some idea as to when the time limit for filing objections will expire. · );~~y~s, ~ / Thomas F. Underwood IlMC LEG IS LATIVE FACT" sHE E T VOLUME X Number 4 March 19, 1984 The recent Congressional City Conference of the National League of.Cities emphasized the importance of immediate action by local government officials. There are several · · major legislative proposals affecting municipal clerks and their community which will be deliberated by Congress within the coming weeks, if not days. The IlMC Legislation Committee, chaired by Bill Read, Corpus Christi, TeXas, met during this conference. The Commi[tee reviewed the key bills which concerned it and the IlMC. It recommended that the'following items be brought to the attention of the IIMC membership and key leaders of state associations with a request that urgency of action is needed if municipal clerks are to have any affect on the progress or defeat of such bill~. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS - H.R. 4170, approved last year by the House Ways and Means Committee, would impose severe restrictions on the use of Industrial Development Bonds (IDB's). Basically the proposals would: e Establish a $150 per capita of state population limit for.the issuance of IDB as of January 1, 1984. · Provide that the $150 limit would be allocated 50~ to the state government ~ and 50% to the local jurisdiction on the basis of populatioff. ' · Restrict current tax benefits for traditional municipal leasing practices. Municipal clerks shodid be aware of this bill and how it will affect their community's long term financing. The $150 cap will severely 'limit, and in some states, prohibit using IDBs. The bill in its present form includes IDBs used to finance public facil- 'ities such as airports, public piers, parking facilities, and local public water and sewer ~p~roject s ,- ~CABLE TELEVISION - H.R. 4103 is coming up to a committee vote within the month. Rep. John Dingle, (Mich), and Chairman of the House Committee on Energy~and Commerce, which is responsible for this bill, has indicated that he has strong reservations about this legislation. BUT, he' stated that he cannot do much to stop or change the proposal .. without suppor't from outside Congress. A majority of. Congress has co-signed the bill, and a counterpart bill (S.66) has already passed the Senate by a vote of 87-9. Both bills would restrict local government's powers in the franchising of cable systems. The major restrictions would: · Phase out local regulations of subscriber rates. · Limit franchise fees. · Provide for a renewal expectancy for cable operators. · Permit changes in franchise agreements as a result of changed circumstances. Interestingly, ~/nile support for S.66 and H.R. 4103 appears to be overwhelming, there has been some slight erosion of strength on the House side. This has developed because ;:~ .I~R OVER tN NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MUNICIPAL CLERKS~ 160 N. ALTADENA DRIVE~ PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91107 of the increased concer, n being voiced by local officials to their Congressmen. ANTITRUST IHHUNITY- Bi)Is have been introduced in both the House'and Senate to exempt cal governments from liability under the federal antitrust laws, If enacted, such islation would reverse the Supreme Court's 1982' Boulder decision, which subjected ,~cal governments to such liabilities for a wide range of traditional government activi ties. The bills are S.1578 (Thurmond, S.C.), H.R. 2981 (Hyde, Ill.), H.R. 3688 (Edwards, Cal.), and H.R. 3361 (Fish, N.Y.). All of these bills would glve local governments the same exemptions from liability under the antitrust laws as is now enjoyed by states. The p'roblem here is that there is little ~action going on. No hearings are scheduled on these bills. The reason m~y be that again local governments are r~ot pushing their Congressional delegation for legislation in this arena. The need for a return to the immunity status is real.' - ASSISTANCE TO HANDICAPPED VOTERS - A concerted effort is being made to advance legis- lation of providing accessible voting facilities for the handicapped and elderly. These bills are currently pending in Congr..e~ss: S.444 and S.1676 (Durenburger, Minn.), and H.R. 1250 (Fish, N.Y.). Briefly th~se bills would require: · All po)ling and voter registration places be located in buildings made accessible (by temF;orary ramps or otherwise) to persons in wheelchairs for all hours during which the polls are open. Registration and voting registration would be in large print. · Paper ballots would be a~ailable for persons unable to operate voting machines. · Absentee ba)lots would be used' to a greater extent for persons with mobility p rob 1 ems. · Notices of.handicapped voters assistance have to be placed in each voting pre- cinct not later than 60 days before federal election or registration deadlines. While the bill objectives have sympathy with state and local election administrators, .the enactment of these .provisions which would begin with the 1984 election are over- whelming. It affects every voting )ocation for each Federal election--that is some 175,OOO p)aces~ It mandates these requirements and' in some cases would prevent local discretion in accommotating for the handicapped. " The House Bill has already been heard before the House Administration Committee and' hearings are shortly coming up in the Senate. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ENCOURAGE VOTER REGISTRATION - This legislation has the support of a number of state and 'local election administrators. The bill H.R. 4367, introduced by Swift (Wash) and Hawkins (Ca1), would provide up to $60 million for voter registra- · tion activities. Half of this money would be specifically earmarked for door-to-door registration. (For a detailed analysis of this bill see the Jan. 1984 News Digest, p. lO.) POSTAGE FREE MAILING OF ELECTION MATERIAL - Several bills are being prepared which would provide postage free mailing of registration a~,d election mailing and ballots. H.R. 2976 (Corcoran, Ill)would provide free mailing of absentee I~allots. Also, H.R. 4367 has a section that would provide free postage for a state pos'l~card voter registration program. FINAL NOTE:. If you are unfamiliar with these bills, IIMC urges you to obtain copies from yo'~r Congressmen or Senators, study them, and let your Congressional delegation know of your support or concern. Copies of these bills can be obtained by sending a self-addressed mailing label to House Document Room H-226, Washington, D.C. 20515, or Senate Document Room~ S-325, Washington, D.C. 20510. Statement to Governor Rudy Perpich Metropolitan Issues Governor's Meeting Metropolitan Local Government Officials April 2, 1984 The initiative of Governor Perpich in calling a meeting of metropolitan area local officials to discuss current items of metropolitan concerns is sincerely appreciated. We hope that this meeting will provide the foundation upon which to build an improved relationship between local government officials and the Governor so as to improve the process of providing governmental services to the people we mutually serve. Pursuant to your calling for this meeting, several suburban mayors got together to prepare these comments in the hope that it would make our meeting more productive. There was no magic in the representation of mayors who met to develop these comments. Time constraints precluded a very structured representation. However, we believe that the mayors 'involved do repre.~ent a good cross section of our metropolitan sub- urban area. A list of the mayors participating in the preparation of these comments is included at the end of these comments. The comments presented here are a consensus of comments made at our meeting. Time did not allow c(rculation of these comments fo~ review. Most of the mayors that participated in our discussion are here today and would, I'm sure, be willing to speak to any points of disagreement that they might have. Further, we would hope that these comments would serve as a starting point for our collegues who were not involved in our discussion to present their own views. Local Government Aids The formula for Local Government Aids, as well as, the overall doll'ar amount, has been a subject of considerable discussion and difference of opinion. We appreciate the support that has.been given during this current legislative session to fund the three and one half million dollar shortfall in 1984 aids because of a shortfall in appropriations by the last session of the Legislature. We do hope that the three and one half million dollars will be forthcoming. In addition, we would urge that in lieu of trying to redo the LGA formula at'the present time, that the current formula for 1985 distribution be suspended, and that in its place, all cities re- ceive in 1985 an amount equal to the amount that cities are allocated for 1984 plus a 6% increase. This would al'low more time for efforts that are currently underway within the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and the League of Minnesota Cities, to try and work out a more acceptable allocation formula. Excise Tax Transfers We support the efforts to speed up the transfer of automobile excise taxes from the General Fund of the State to meet transportation needs. We support the dedication of 25% of these funds to support public transit. We further support the allocation of 80% of these transit funds to the metropolitan area and the possible use of some of these metropolitan area funds for the possible building of light rail transit in our metropolitan area. Statement to Governor April 2, 1984 ' page 2 Metropolitan Government The handling of certain governmental services on a metropolitan basis came into being because of recognition of the problem in trying to provide those services independently by the several independent units of local government that we have in our Twin City metropolitan area. Since the services being provided on a metro basis are extensions of service responsibilities of local government, the need for an on-going strong reflection of local government concerns in the process of providing those services on a metropolitan basis is obvious. The report "Metropolitan Agencies: Structures and Process Issues" as prepared by Tom Triplett and the State Planning Agency contains many good points which we think deserve consideration. In particular, we agree that the process of selecting Metropolitan Council members,including the Chair, should more directly involve local government officials, and that the working relationship between metro agencies, as well as the working relationship between metro agencies and local units of government needs strengthening. W~ hope that this report will receive such consid- eration, and we stand ready to assist in the process of such consideration. The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities has adopted a position of support for the general concept of a new structuring of transit planning and implementa- tion in our metropolitan area. These concepts have been put into bill form by the Joint Legislative Commission studying the Metropolitan Transit Commission and is presently under consideratioo by the Legislature. We are in support of the Assoc- iation of Metropolitan Municlpalities' position. The Boland Commission which.you appointed to study the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission emphasized the need for a management study of the MWCC. We support this recommendation. We would urge that the study be carried out by an advisory comm- ittee consisting of one representative each from the Metropolitan Council, Assoc- iation of Metropolitan Municipalities, Suburban Rate Authority, State Planning Agency, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and a Chair who Would be a local elected or appointed official. While we do not feel that there is a need for a similar "top to bottom" study of the Metropolitan Transit Commission, the current situation at the MTC leads us to believe that such a similar study process of the upper management of the MTC would be desirable. You currently have underway a process for selecting a replacement for the current chairman of the Metropolitan'Council. Because most of the areas in which the Met- ropolitan Council is involved are actually extensions of local government respon- sibility, we as local government officials are very concerned about the qualifi- cations which the person that you select will bring to that position. While the people that served on your search committee are all high caliber people with many good credentials, we do feel that the work of the committee would have been further enhanced if there had been local government representation on the committee. Statement to Governor April 2, 1984 page 3 We feel that the Metropolitan Council Chair must have a very good understanding of the functioning of the Metropolitan Council as a planning and coordinating body, of its important relationship to other metropolitan agencies and to local government, and be very sensitive to the divergent range of municipal interests in our met- ropolitan area. We feel that it is of prime importance that the new Chair be strongly committed to re-establishing the good working relationship with local government that pre' vlous chairmen, John Boland and Chuck Weaver developed. A good example of what can be accomplished when such a good working relationship exists between the Metropolitan Council and local government is the development, passage and imple- mentation of the Land Use Planning Act. Under the leadership of John Boland, the proposed legislation for land use planning in our metropolitan area was changed from a totally unacceptable concept to legislation that had the active support of local government interests. Under the leadership of Chuck Weaver, the implementation of the Land Use Planning Act was r.~rried out very successfully. We hope, Governor, that you will find these comments to be helpful and constructive. We know that you will find our collegues in local government supportive of your efforts to make metropolitan government more acceptable and productive in meeting the needs of the citizens of our metropolitan ~rea.

The nursery school "Pooh's Place" is 16cated in the Westonka CenTer. It seems an ideal situation. for the blending of the young and the older citizens, to be able to share one's self. Seniors who love children and may have been 'away from them for a time, learn how precious these tots can be; how trusting and loving. Yes, they return the love twice fold. There are some children who are awa~ from their grandparents and need the tS~nO~i~solde~.~erson. con es - z~enc are need ed when a child learns to trust. Even tots have their problems, every bit a's big to them, as are adults with theirs. To share ourselves with those youngsters may open new doors of under- standing. One may share story time -- always children are~ ready to hear a story; whether one reads or tells about one's own childhood will bring rapt~d ~ttention from these youngsters who are so eager to learn.

Chee · .;,.- Ri'~LIG~TS OF A VACATION Never will those hardy souls be the same! Each and every participant of the F da Tour holds memories never be- f perienced. Here are a few thoughts: One traveler related, "We had quit an experience in Indiana. Suddenly. we were in a blizzard driving into the on coming snow. Our bus driver, Colin Murphy, was exceptional, driving us .safely through when it seemed we could- not see ahead of us. Never have I seen or been "driving in" anything like this in Minnesota. Another added that as the driver pulled into a way side service station, he announced that he was gassing up and that we'd better get a supply of f~od in the store that also had a grill. It would be hard to know when we'd eat again. Still another told how the driver slowed down almost to a crawl. Cars were side-swiped on the. road as well as in the ditches. One individual stated, "I found d as it is, very exciting, a fast ride on a roller coaster type, not knowing what to expect; dark and spooky. Then we saw all the different countries, showing their interest in dancing, artwork, and dressed in their ,, na't'ive costumes. Another sightseer listed the highs of the trip for her were EPCOT CENTER, the alligators along the Tamiami Trail, the pelicans, the osprey nests, Ibis, and the k.ingfishers, as well as the airboat ride in the everglades. For her too, Georgia Stone Mt-. National Park and getting lost in Paducah, Ken- tucky were highlights% Epcot Center rated very high on' the popularity list. Words are incon- ceivable to bring forth a true picture, which is also true of other places of interest. History buffs were thrilled at the sight of Stone Mountain National Park (but not enough to use the cable car to the Top of th~ mountain) Mt. Lookout the point where the Blue and the Grey met in a bloody battle and now is com- menerated with a beautiful shrine to those men who lost their lives at that point. To gain entrance to the peak of the mountain, the bus followed the long narrow, winding road; one wonders about the awesom tragedy culminated in the "Battle above the Clouds". As one peers over the opposite edge of the mountain., a breath-taking scene appears to greet the eyes--fa-a-r below, is nestled a thriving town. And more that's about the Westohka Senior Florida Tour - - -""This was a FUN and exciting trip for us. Hilmer and I enjoyed the "Parrot Jungle". We've heard of "Bats in one's Belfry", WE had Parrots on our heads, on our. shoulders, and on our arms, and had our pictures taken in such colorful array! The "Peace" and sound of the Ocean tide was comforting and relaxing. The collection of shells was a "must"! The awe and the height of "Look-. Out Mountain" caused a few "goose bumps"! We loved every minute of it all! Mild~'ed and Hilmer Hansen Others wrote that they. too, "were impressed with the visit, to Epcot and Stone Mountain. The tour to Key West and the warm sunshiny days were very "delightful". Two more added, "We enjoyed it all We were impressed by the sights at Epcot and Disney World. Had an espe- cially good day at Stone Mountain and Lookout Mountain. We both enjoyed the beach at Miami; Key West was GREAT!" One travelor noted, "Most every- thing was more and better than antic- ipated, but Epcot was the highlight for me. The congeniality of the group was errific. We are a hardy bunch od .overs". "I thought Eastern Air Flying Carpet was very different. Magic King- dom and Epcot were great", wrote another. "Everything was interesting being our first bus tour. My highlight was meeting Minnie Pearl. I didn't expect to see any celebrities, so it was quite a thrill to say "Hello" to her. She was friendly and talked to all of us. Nashville was an addition to our trip", wrote one traveler. Another-"was also very glad we stopped in Nashville to see the Hall of'Fame, (where individual names are enca'sed on a star studded floor) etc. and to visit Barbara Mandrell"s shop and to bring a souvenir from there." Many agree with one writer--"I loved the warm weather at Miami B~ch. Saw it for the first time~ Enjoyed the trip to Key West.

Carroll President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Durin~ 1983 twelve eguiar meetings ~e._ held by the managers on the third Yhursday of each monzn a~ 7:30 p.m. In order To make the meetings of the managers more accessible ~o all residents of the district, ~he managers meet in odd numbered months in the City Council Chambers of the City of St. Louis Park and in even numbered months at the Wayzata City Hall. During 1983, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners appointed Camile D. Andre to the Board of Managers to fill a term commencing March 9, 1983. Mr. Andre took the oath of office April 21, 1983. Barbara R. Gudmundson was not reappointed to the Board. The managers express their appreciation for the service Barbara R. Gudmundson gave to the Board and the public as a manager of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. -1- The managers exchanged information with other governmental units affected by the programs and policies of the watershed district and honored requests to attend meetings of municipal, county and state officials as well as meetings of interested ciTizens.and groups. The managers received substantial support and assistance from the Hennepin and Carver County Boards of Co~missioners through the year which greatly assisted the district in carrying out its programs during 1983. During 1983, the managers continued to serve on planning bodies with regard to water resource issues. Manager Cochran served on the Department of Natural Resources task force on recreational use of Lake Minnetonka. The Board participated in the activities of the Chapter 509 Committee of the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts to deal with issues in implemensing Chapter 509, Laws 1982. As in previous years, the managers supplied copies of minutes of all meetings and reports to intereszed citizens and to public officials throughout the district. Copies of the 1982 Annual Report were filed in 1983 with the Minnesota Water Resources Board, the Department of Natural Resources, the Boards of County Commissioners of Hennepin and Carver Counties and with State Senators and Representatives from the area within the watershed district. 'PERMIT'APPLICATIONS The watershed district received 127 permit applications during 1983. In each instance, the proposed project was ~~eviewed in detail for enviror~ental .soundness and .~or = compliance with ~he district's rules and regulations. App~icasions were received for projects such as dredging, skcreiine erosion pro~ection, highway and u~iii~y crossinqs, setback var±ances, filling, pre!iminarv Dia~ review and drainage and grading for si~e developmens. A sum~:arv is attached to this repot5 showing the project location and type of. application received. As in previous years, a large majority of the applications received were from the Lake Minnetonka portion of the watershed district, reflecting the continuing urbanization of that area. Ail permits granted by the watershed district specifically require compliance with applicable municipal ordinances and, if the permit involved Lake Minnetonka, the applicable ordinances of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. In addition, permits issued by the watershed district re_CfUire compliance with any applicable rules of the Minnesota Department of -2- Natural Resources. The Board of Managers also took action as necessary regarding compliants, permit violations and activities which had been undertaken prior to issuance of a permit from the district. HYDROLOGIC DATA COLLECTION The district's hydrologic data collection program was continued during 1983. The data for 1982 is published in the .~_nnual Hydrologic Data Report dated April, 1983. Copies of this report were made available to the Minnesota Water Resources Board, the Metropolitan CoUncil, The MinnesoTa Pollution Control Agency, the DeparTment of Natural Resources and local government officials and citizens' advisory groups. The Board expanded its data collection program and used volunteers to reduce costs, and established additional rain gauging stations within th~ watershed districT. GRAY'S BAY CONTROL STRUCTb~E REVISED OPERATIONAL PLAN A revised Management Policy and Operational Plan for the control structure at Gray~s Bay was approved by the Minnesota Departmen~ of Natural Resources on May 20, 1983, Copies were distributed to all municipalisies in the distric~ and to interested citizens within the district. During 1983, 5he managers continued To rely heavily upon part~cipasion of each of the municipalities on ~innehaha Creek in recordin~ creek elevations and flows and reporting that data ~o the district. The dis~ric~ prepared monthly summaries of this data and made ~hese sump, aries available 5o interested municipa!i~ies and citizens. The assis'=ance of each of uhe mun~c~e=~ie$ was ~nvaiuable ~o ~he dish-lc5 in makinc the operas~cnai adjustments re_uuired during 1983 management.objectives of the Headwaters Control S~ructure. WATER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR FUND The Board of Managers continued its practice of requesting from the municipalities within the district suggestions for maintenance projects to be paid in part from the district's' Water Maintenance and Repair Fund. From the numerous requests -3- received, the managers, in April 1983, approved projects in the following municipalities: Applicant/Location City of Independence Project Description Culvert repair on Ingerson Road. Allocation 50% up to a maximum of $3,100 City of Edina Maintenance Fund contribution to cost of Minnehaha Creek channel improvements at West 44th Street (CP-7). $3,500 City of St. Lcuis Park Various Locations Minnehaha Creek dredging, Excelsior Boulevard to Meadowbrook'Lake. Modification and repair of Creekside improvements. 100% up to a maximum of $20,450 100% up to a maximum of $16,000 TOTAL $43,050 In Aoril 1983, residents of the Cascade Lane area of Edina e×presse~ concern about high creek levels at that reach of the creek. This mau~er was reviewed by the engineering staff of ~he distric~ as well as by the Ciuy of Edina to identify actions which migh~ be undertaken ~o reduce high water conditions. On Aucusu 15, 1983, uhe City cf Edina adcoted a resolution recuesuinc uhe BOard of Maria?ers .~o dredge ~he creek channe: ~_n -_he ,±cin:-_v of uhe Cascade :ane=~-_e=~. On Ocsobe- 20 1983 ~he = ~ =~o~.ended ~he execu~~ --_~, ~ .... n ~f a Ccope.-~ive A.~re=_men5 be~'~'_=en 5he City cf Edina, the Minnescsa Depar%ment of Transportation, and the distric5 to reconstruct .the creek channel in ~he vicinity of U.S. Highway 100. The Board approved a Cooperative Agreement and final .plans and specifications for-the project in November, 1983. On December 19, 1983, the district advertised for 'bids and awarded the contrac~ for construction of the project in the amount of $39,960 to be paid from the 1983 Water Maintenance and Repair Fund. The City of Independence project and the West 44th Street (CP-7) project were completed and payment made in 1983. Creek dredging at Excelsior Boulevard was not undertaken in 1983 because the project at Cascade Lane was authorized. The modification repair of creekside improvements was partially completed in 1983. GALPIN I2%KE STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Repair work, to which the district had previously contributed from the Water Maintenance and Repair Fund, caused the Galpin Lake drainage system to function properly. The managers were advised by the City of Excelsior that no additional work needed to be done. The Board, on September 15, 1983, dismissed the petition. UPPER WATERSHED STORAGE AND RETENTION PROJECT The preliminary Engineering Report on the feasibility of ~he Upper Watershed Storage and Retention Project within The Painter Creek Subwatershed (CP-5), as petitioned for by ~he Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, was completed as of May 3, 1983. The report was reviewed by the Advisory Committee, which recommended that the Board proceed with Project CP-5. The preliminary Engineering Report was approved by ~he Board on May 19, 1983, and submitted to the Water Resources Board and the Division of Waters Department of Natural Resources for their reports pursuant to statute. Notice of public hearing was published and served as provided by ~aw and a ~UD~lC hearing held on August 25., 1983, a~ the Orono Senior High Schcci Auditorium. Reports of Minnesota WaTer Resources Bcard and the Director of the D~vision of Wa~ers Depar~men5 ~f Nasurai Rescurces were -eceive~. All me..~bers of the public present were given tke c~por~uni~v to address the Board and express their view~ regardinc 5he pesitioned projecs. Follow{ng concern expressed by some individuals regarding the timetable se~ for written comments to be submitted, the Board reopened the hearing record to provide additional. opportunity for public comments. On September 29, 1983, the Board considered hearing record, including the supplemental comments received. Following review, the Board adopted Findings of Fact, Conclusions and an Order for the project and proceeded to levy a tax pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~ 112.61, Subd. 3, for the payment of the costs of the project. Construction is planned to commence in 1984. -5- WEST 44TH STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Work on the West 44th Street creek channel Improvements project commenced under the direction of the bonding company on January 25, 1983, and was substantially completed by February 10, 1983. The project, under a cooperative agreement with the City of Edina, involved dredging the creek channel to enhance recreational uses and navigation in this reach of Minnehaha Creek. The project was accepted by the Board of Managers on March 17, 1983. LAKE LEVEL MONITORING During 1983, the district entered into an agreement with the Hennepin County Park Reserve District to monitor lake levels on the seven lakes in Carver and Baker Park Reserves. CHAPTER 509 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLANNING During 1983, the managers held eight special meetings to undertake water management planning pursuant to Chapter 509. The managers developed a work plan, created a Technical Advisory Committee cons'isting of representatives of all municipalities and s~arted review of the district's legal boundaries and started to develop proposed managemenz ~c!icles as required by Chapter 509. This work was ongcing as of 5he end of 1983. FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS The issue of floodplain filling' continued ~o be an area of a~ten~ion by ~he managers, particularly in S~. _~!s Park and Edina, where high waser conditions had been experienced sv residents during uhe spring and e~rly sum~er of 1983. The managers consinued to communicate their views 'that additional encroacb_m, ent in the floodplain contributes to higher peak flows thereby increasing the potential of damage to structures and property. The managers urged all creekside municipalities to amend their ordinances to prohibit any further filling in the floodplain in Minnehaha Creek. BRIDGE OBSTRUCTION - 11907 CEDAR LAKE ROAD During 1983, the Board of Managers commenced an administrative proceeding and held a hearing to determine whether a private vehicular bridge at 11907 Cedar Lake Road constituted a public nuisance; and, if so, what remedial action should be ordered. The Board held a public hearing On July 21 and August 18, 1983. The Board adopted Findings of Fact and Conclusions that the structure obstructed public navigational passage of the creek during a significant portion of the navigational year and ordered that the bridge be raised or removed to provide adequate navigational passage. The-owner thereafter submitted a plan for replacing the bridge span with a new bridge at an increased elevation. The managers recognized that removal of the bridge would deprive the owner of access to his property and concluded that alternative access was not feasible. The Board resolved and settled the 'contested proceeding under an agreement To contribute a portion of the cost of a replacement bridge span with increased clearance, and the owner agreed to perform the work and to grant a pedestrian portage easement around the bridge. The work was completed by the owner in. December, 1983. MINNEHA~A CREEK ,MAINTENANCE Work was undertaken in 1983 by the Tree Trust to remove debris and vegetation in the creek. The cities of Minnetonka and St. Louis Park provided assistance and equipment for this work. Approximately 1,500 feet of the creek channel in the City of Minnetonka and 3,000 feet of creek channel in the City of St. Louis Park were cleaned, debris removed and trees trimmed under this project. The District expresses its appreciation for the cooperation and assistance by the Cities of Minnetonka and St. Louis Park.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In 1983 the managers began to implement the first steps of the work plan to prepare a Watershed Management Plan and to amend the existing Overall Plan in conformance with the requirements of Chapter 509. Increased work on Chapter 509 planning is expected during 1984. The schedule calls for completion of the plan by December 31, 1985. The Managers plan to s~ar~ construction of improvements in the PainTer Creek Subwatershed'(CP-5) in 1984. The managers will continue ~o emphasize active use of its Water Maintenance and Repair Fund during 1984 in order to accomplish desirable maintenance projects within the district° The Bcard anticipates that it will continue reviewing and issuing permits pertaining t6 individual site deveiopmen~s. As part of this ongoing regulatory function, the Board expects it will be necessary to review and update Board policy pertaining to installation and maintenance of proper erosion consroi measures and restoration of construction sites once construction acsivities are completed. BL~DGET/1984 As required by law, che managers, pursuant to notice, held a public hearSng on.Sepsember 15 and 29, 1983, cn proposed budgess for 5he A~inisnranive Fund, Water Maintenance and Repair Fund, Watershed Mana~emen~ Planning Fund, and the Upper Watershed StoraGe and Retention Project Fund (Cp-5). Following the public hear{ng, the managers adopted budgets for 1984 for these funds. FINANCIAL RECORDS The financial records of the district are kept by a certified public accountant. All financial transactions are recorded in the minutes of its meetings. 8 The treasurer of the district maintained separate records for four funds in 1983: (1) its Administrative Fund;~ (2) the Water Maintenance and Repair Fund: (3) the Data Acquisition Fund; and (4) Watershed Management Planning Fund. Records for each of these funds include the dates and amounts of all expenditures, the names of individuals receiving payment and the purposes for which payment is made. The official depository for the district is the Wayzata State Bank, Wayzata, Minnesota. The financial records of the district were audited for the year 1983 and a copy of the audit was filed with the State Auditor for the State of Minnesota. Respectfully submitted, ~av~_~ H.

Admired from afar, sometimes maligned at home, the nation's most innovative regional authority is at a crossroads. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Council, widely admired--even cnvicd--a~ the nation's most innovative and successful periment in re~i0nal y, ovemment, is in trouble. Seventeen years after its creation, the coGncil is £n'mly enough established that its survival as an institution seems secure. But some of its best friends fear it may be losing effectiveness as an instru- ment for guiding regional growth and ser- vices in the seven-county Twin Cities area. Beset on one side by local governments jealous of their own authority, on the other by a governor and state legislature with lit- By Charles C. Whiting A N H E N N E P IN Bloomingl~ CARVER O T T The seven-county Metropolitan Council area. O K A DAKOTA tie memory of why the council was created, and from within by a controver- sial chairman, whose actions and pro- posals have alarmed council friends and foes alike, the Metropolitan Council is at a crossroads. Created by the Minnesota legislature in 1967, the council replaced a largely inef- fective, council of governments-type body called the Metropolitan Planning Commis- sion. The Metropolitan Council's basic charge is ~to coordinate the planning and development of the seven-county Twin Cities area"--a function that has expanded over the years to include not just physical development and transportation issues but social programs as well. Thus, the council has been engaged in health planning, cable television coordination, A-95 review of federal grant applications, a planning and grant program for the elderly, an arts plan- ning and grant 'program, and criminal justice planning. But the council is not a level of general government. Its taxing po,~,er is set by the legislature and its responsibilities general- 1¥ are limited to functions that cannot be performed by city and county governments. Actual regional services are provided by other metropolitan agencies--a transit commission, an airport commission, and a waste control commission--under the council's coordination. Serious threats Much of what happens to the council depends on what will happen after the Minnesota legislature convenes for' its 1984 session in early March. To some ex- tent, new legislative sessions always pose a threat. Hardly one has gone by since the council was authorized without some tempt being made to dismantle or under- cut regional authority. Rarely, however,. has that recurring urge to undo one of Min- nesota's most notable governmental achievements been as serious as some think it is now. Former council chairman John Boland, once a legislator himself, predicts: 'Metro Council stuff will be hot in the '84 session. A lot of people are say- ing we should just start over. What they're going to do is turn it into a council of governments.' Boland's eertalnty may be overstated. He is, after all, a member of a Citizens League committee that has been studying the Metropolitan Council with an eye toward proposing reforms in its duties and make- up. The Citizens League, a broadly based and respected research organization that was an early champion of metropolitan legislation, will fight hard to protect the council and is unlikely to be ignored on the issue. Ted Kolderie, a former director of the league and now a senior fellow at the University of Minnesota's Hubert 'H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, also serves on the cgmrnittee. He thinks the worst that will happen is that a bill to undercut the council will pass one legislative house, thereby causing enough alarm to prevent passage in the second house. In predicting the worst, Boland may simply be getting a head start on spreading the alarm. But, as an active member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, which controls both legislative houses and Min- nesota's governorship, he has an ex- perienced politician's insight into the drift of thinking at the capitol. And he sees broad support gathering there for a bill that would shift the power to appoint Metropolitan. Council members from the governor to local governments, a shift that has been opposed by council supporters. · Such a shift in appointment power wouldn't in itself undercut the council's authority. But Boland and othe~ fear that a council representing local governments would lose the regional perspective that has marked it since the beginning. Regional authority might then become lit- fie more than a rubber stamp for local interests. Like Gov. Rudy Perpich and the present council chairman, Gerald Isaacs, Boland would prefer that council members be popularly elected. But that idea, which has been around as long as the council, has never been able to overcome legislative resistance, which seems stronger than ever this year. Short memories The problem, as Boland and others see it, is that virtually no-one is left in the legislature .who remembers the 1967 debate about the form regional govern- ment should take or the then-compelling reasons why the council was insulated from local-government control. Boland's Republican successor as coun- cil chairman, Charles Weaver, tried/to do something about the problem in the sum- mer of 1982. Weaver also once served in the legislature, where he was author of Minnesota's other nationally renowned metropolitan innovation, the tax base- sharing fiscal disparities law, explained below. Worried that retirements and 1982 election results mig'ht produce as much as a 50 percent turnover in legislative com- position, Weaver organized a well- attended bipartisan seminar for metro-area candidates. Speakers included former legislative leaders from both political par- ties, who tried to explain--as one of them put it--"why those idiots passed those laws." Why indeed? And how? Other places have attempted to enact metropolitan reform in one giant step--by what Robert Einsweiler, the APA president and former Metropolitan Council planning director, refers to as the "great happening" approach. The Minneapolis-St. Paul area moved in incremental steps. With two major cities standing side by side, the Twin Cities metropolis had been forced to address some problems on a regional basis even before post-World War II suburban growth created a multi- plicity of local governments. By the mid- !960s, Minneapolis and St. Paul joint- ly operated regional sewer and airport systems. Six counties surrounding the two cities had formed a metropolitan mosquito control district. And the Metropolitan Planning Commission, with seven-county representation, had begun drawing up a regionwide land-use and transportation plan in cooperation with 12 other city, county, and state agencies. But what was in place in 1967 was not so much the skeleton of a regional system as a pile of disconnected bones, with some of the key parts missing or incomplete. The Metropolitan Planning Commission had regional planning responsibility but no authority to see .that its plans were carried out. The sewe~ system operated by the Minneapolis-St. Paul sanitary district primarily served the centr~ cities. Many suburbs, where septic tanks were creating groundwater pollution problems, started putting together their own independent sewer districts, one of which planned to dump its effluent into the Mississippi River near the Minneapolis water '.retake. Meanwhile, interstate highways were opening up new areas to suburban sprawl. The privately owhed bus company was cutting back on service, which was already largely confined to the central cities. The airports commission was beg~nlng to think about building a huge new interna- tional airport 20 miles north of the Twin Cities. The number of municipalities in the · seven-county area had grown to more than 100, all of them competing for a larger share of the tax base, some much more successfully than others. One big family But if there were regional problems, there also was a will to address them cooperatively. The existence of two central cities--which were themselves suburban in character--helped keep suburban distrust of "the big city" to a minimum. 6 plsnr~ing March 198~ Grey Cloud Island, on the Mississippi south of St, Paul, is the setffn~ ora lO-year challenge to Metro Council aulhority, ~efi, L. 3hidy Co. ~ued the to.ship to pre~e~t imp]ementaEon ora council-approved zonint code r~cg~ the ny's Jim.tone qua~i~ o~radons, Bosom, a Me~o Council se~ion, [~~ ~,r~~ ' ~22~2 .... ~ - . - ~~ And, although the central cities were long- standing rivals, their business and civic leaders had recently learned how to work together to bring major league sports to Minnesota. The area was i~lso the home of several major national corporations, which shared a tradition of civic involvement and tended to see the region as. a single _.onomic entity. And the area had a tory of political moderation and respon- sible government, fostered and advised by such respected private organizations as the Citizens League. Finally, legislative leaders were growing weary of a multiplicity of divergent voices coming out o£ the .metropolitan area--particularly on the sewer issue. Thus, say John J. Harrigan and William C. Johnson in their 1978 book, Governing the Twin Cities Region (University of Min- nesota Press; 167 pp.; .$7.95}, the motive for regional reform was not theoretical, as in other places, but 'a practical concern for some immediate problems that could not. be dealt with effectively under the existing governmental apparatus.' Business lead- ers, civic organizations, newspaper editorial writers, and even many local of- ficials agreed on the need for a 'com- prehensive policy-making capacity at the metropolitan level"--a metropolitan council. regional plan and to review and comment on municipal and township plans. A coun- cil member was to serve on each of the other regional commissi,ons and on any new ones that might be created later. Instead of representing local govern- ments and special districts, as Metropol- itan Planning' Commission members had done, the council's 15 members (now were to be appointed by the governor. Ex- cept for the chairman, who was to repre- sent the area as a whole and serve at the governor's pleasure, each member would serve a four-year term and represent--on a one-person, one-vote basis--a district roughly coterminous With two state senatorial districts. The idea, said Pro- fessors Arthur Naftalin and J6hn Brandl in a 1980 report prepared for the Humphrey Institute, was 'to ensure that the council would not be the captive of local govern- ments." (Naftalin is a former Minneapolis mayor and Brandl is a state representative: their 'report, The Twin Cities Regional Strategy, was published by the Metro- politan Council.} What was established by the creation of the council, say Harrigan and Johnson, was 'not just.a planning and coordinating agency ... [but] a political decision- making structure.' The council would set regional policy; local governments and New body The result, after a session-long debate, a council that would take over the property tax base, and planning rune- OhS of the existing'Metropolitan Planning Commission. The council also' was given new powers to suspend the long-range plans of sewer and other special districts if they conflicted with the comprehensive metropolitan operating agencies would cart)' it out. Two new operating agendes were formed at the start. One, the Metropolitan Transit Com_missionmalso established by the 1967 legislature--soon purchased the struggling private bus company. And in 1969, relying heavily on council advice, the legislature resolved the troublesome sewer issue by creating what is now called the Metropo- litan Waste Control Commission. The council was given power to appoint com- mission members and to prepare a region- al sewer plan for the new commission to carry out: The transit commission was similarly directed in 1971 to carry out the. transit elements of the council's transpor- tation plan. Tax-base sharing The 1971 legislature also I~assed the fiscal disparities law, which the council's first chairman, former law professor James Hetland, has called "probably the best piece of legislation that has been adopted in any urban area of the United States.' Although the law is not directly related to the Metropolitan Council, without it, ac- cording to Hetland, there would be 'no way in which land-use controls or any sen- sible development controls could be im- posed at the regional level." That's because the law, by dividing the commercial-industrial tax base among the communities in the area, reduces their in- centive to compete for such development. Designed mainly to close the gap in revenue-raising ability between 'have' and ~have-not' communities, tax-base sharing requires each municipality to put 40 per- cent of its commercial-industrial tax-base growth since 1971 (including new develop- ment and growth caused by inflationI in- to a metropolitan pool, which is then redistributed according to each communi- ty's population and overall tax base. The fiscal-disparities law was contested all the way to the U,S. Supreme Court. But it survived and, with $2.5 billion of commercial-industrial tax base now ac- cumulated in the metropolitan po°l, has reduced the per capita disparity between the area's richest and poorest communities from what would otherwise be a 13.3-to-1 ratio to just 4.3 to 1. But because the shar- ing is of the tax base, not the actual tax revenues, the lawns financial impact is hard to measure in terms of improved services or reduced tax levies. Sorting it Out The Twin Cities regional strategy [Naf- tahn and Brandl's phrase} really began to take form in 1974, after the transit com- mission asked legislative approval of plans for a $1 billion rail rapid transit system that conflicted with a council proposal for a system relying on buses and small ve- hicles. To resolve the conflict--not only over the transit issue but over which agen- cy had dominant planning authority--the' legislature passed the Metropolitan Reor- ganlzation Act. The council gained power to name all members of the transit com- mission except the chairman and to ap- prove transit and waste control develop- ment programs as well as the capital ex- penditures of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The reorganization act also gave the council.new, far-reaching power to review the metropolitan significance of major public and private projects, which meant that it could block new housing developments, shopping centers, and other major development proposals that conflicted with its Yegional plan. In addi- tion, the act gave the council two new members, the right to act as a metropolitan housing authority, and the right to issue bonds for regional park acquisition and development. The £mal step was the 1976 Metropolitan Land Planning Act, which required local governments to prepare comprehensive plans consistent with the council's metropolitan "systems plans" for sewers, parks, transit, and airports. Einsweiler, Abandoning its long-standing opposition to ~fxed-guide~,,ay ~ransit, the council is studying proposals for a regional light-rail ' system and a high.speed link between the Minneapolis and St. Paul downtowns. who is now on the Humphrey Institute faculty and recently conducted a study of the land planning act, says it's too soon to determine whether the law is achieving more rational development. But, he adds, as a 'lever that forces local governments to plan,' the law has given new status to plan- ning and appears to be affecting local development decisions. Assessments Minneapolis planning director Oliver Byrum helped put the law together as the council's director of comprehensive plan- ning in the mid-1970s. From his dual perspective, he thinks the law is working, but not the way it was planned to work. What the cities were required to submit should have dealt much more fundamen- tally with the items of regional importance that the council was interested in, not with details,' Byrum says. 'That would have produced better statements that would have fit together better.' Byrum says it is hard to point to any 'tangible' effects the land planning act has had on development in Minneapolis or elsewhere. But he thinks the law was a fac- tor in stopping plans for a major shopping center east of St. Paul, where expected residential development seemed unlikely to provide an adequate retail market. The laws main impact, he believes, has been to redirect investment away from the urban fringes toward the central cifies--'and that's a benefit.' Over in St. Paul, city planning director Jim Bellus sees. the requirements Of the land planning act as 'much more useful for suburban and rural areas than for a city like St. Paul where we had already done our planning and where the impact of metro systems such as sewers was fairly limited.' Bill Thibault, planner for St. Louis Park, a suburb on the west edge of Minneapolis, feels that the law is working ~because the process provides for review and adjust- ment.' For example, when provisions for light rail transit in the comprehensive plan St. Louis Park submitted for council .proval in 1980 conflicted with the metropolitan transit policy that was then in effect, the council approved the plan anyway, apparently in anticipation of ex- pected changes in the regional transit policy. What, then, has the Twin Cities regional strategy accomplished? Naftalin and Brandl said in 1980 that the "gains are real and positive" but for a process as complex as metropohtan development 'cannot be measured with any degree of precision.' 8 Planning M~rch'1984 The)' questioned, for example, the coun- cil's claim that the Metropolitan'Develop- ment Framework {the iouncil's name for sregional plan) would save the region $2 il?don in infrastructure costs over 20 years. But they cited six directly attributable outcomes: {1) a mechanism for resolving complex regional problems; {2) coordina- tion of basic metropolitan services; {3) development of a comprehensive regional plan;(4) the vetoing of such costly and tm- needed capital undertakings as a heavy rail transit system and a new international airport;(5) the establishment of a regional focal point; and [6) a constantly expanding source of information about the region and its needs. Also, Ted Kolderie of the Humphrey Institute credits the council with doing exceptionally well in such ~ttle- noticed second-level' areas as stormwater runoff, an areawide 911 emergency telephone system, and emergency medical service planning. Ignoring history -All of this has led the Metropolitan Council's present chairman, Gerald Isaacs, to assert that the council's planning work and development controls are largely in ~ and that it is time to u. ndertake new ional initiatives, especially in economic development. Isaacs, a Perpich appointee who took office in January 1983 and re- cently announced his resignation, effective on or before May 1, has a background in public and private development, including service as director of economic develop~ ment for St. Paul and head of that city's port authority. One of his proposals is that the council act as a metropolitan port authority, issuing bonds for job-producing developments. (A search committee ap- pointed to nominate a new council chair- man to replace Isaacs was to report about March Many, including local governments, the Citizens League, and area chambers of commerce, have argued that such a role for the council is unneeded and would conflic~ with its basic function, to control growth.' Kolderie calls Isaacs's l~ort authority pro- posal 'a profound effort to redirect the council--ignoring history, tradition, and the law--by trying to fit the thing to his personal interests." Einsweiler agrees that Isaacs is going about it the wrong way. "Direct involve- ment in development is to growth control as spending is to investing,' he says. Rather than money, Einsweiler woutd like to see the council provide what he believes local governments and developers really need: technical assistance, coordination, and Local Firms Take Civic Affairs Seriously During the years I worked in state and local government I was often called upon by people outside the state to describe the ways Minnesota was attacking economic and social problems. The response was always the same: '~Yes, that works in Minnesota, but it wouldn't work in my state.' More recently, I have been working in the private sector, but wherever I go, I still hear the same refrain: Twin Cities institutions are different, and the products of those institutions are irreplicable. ~ And it is true that the Twin Cities are unlike other urban centers in ~any respects. Some of that difference is explained by their geographical location in the center of a vast, 'largely agricultural area stretching from Wisconsin on the east to the Dakotas and Mon- tana to the west. That, coupled with a severe winter climate, has discouraged in- migration. Despite the presence of one of the nation's largest urban Indian communities, and an even larger Hispanic community, minority groups constitute less than a tenth of the metropolitan area's total population. Their absence has Probably contributed to the Twin Cities' sense of homogeneity and cohesiveness. Geographical isolation also helps to explain the area's marked aura of self-reliance. The basic extractive industries--logging, mining, and farming--gave rise to the service industries needed for their support. The result is a diversified economy based on local- ly owned firms. Pillsbury, General Mills, 3M, Dayton Hudson, Control Data, and Honeywell all began here, and stayed. Only Boston has more corporate headquarters per capita. Roughly half the people in man.ufacturing in the Twin Cities work for local firms; and a remarkable 90 percent of the employees of 'outside" companies work in jobs that were originally created by local entrepreneurs. The local economy's homegrown nature largely explains the private sector's involve- ment in the community's civic life. Traditionally, local corporations have been led by people who were raised in Minnesota and who expected their children to stay there. They recognized that they had a stake not only in the economic climate, but in the social and cultural climate as well. In Minneapolis, civic activities focused on the development of cultural institutions {including the Walker Art Center, Guthrie Theater, and Minneapolis Institute of Arts), while in St. Paul, private-sector resources created a strong private higher education system [the College of St, Thomas, St. Catherine's, Concordia, Macalester College, Hamline University). In both cities, the private sector's breadth of concern led to a gradual blurring of the distinctions between public and private. Over time, the Twin Cities have developed what political observer Walter Bagehot called "a polity of discussion," an expectation that major questions will be widely dis- cussed and debated. This is great news for local planners, for gaining consensus in a project's early stages increases the likelihood of successful implementation. The discussion process has been more institutionalized in the Twin Cities than in most other places; and some of the institutions that have resulted have become national models for private-sector participation in public affairs. One such model is the Citizens League. It grew out of a series of informal policy discus- sions held in Minneapolis in the late 19z~0s when Hubert Humphrey was mayor. The league identifies major public policy issues, studies them, and develops recommenda- Stain elevators symbolize the importance to the region of the basic extractive industries. tions by consensus. It draws upon a broad base of volunteers and involves them in study committees which typically last about a year. Dues are rmmmal, and anyone can serve on a committee. Because of the high level of business participation and the quality of its reports, the league has had a significant impact on local affairs. Another well-established institution is the Business Action Resource Council IBARCI, · a group formed several years ago by a group of corporate public affairs pro£essionals. BARC, which functions as a committee of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, pro- vides a mechanism for the discussion of a wide range of community issues. St. Paul has begun a similar group, the Community A/fairs Roundtable. In 1977, several corporate top executives, concerned that an increasing number of 'outside' professional managers would not feel the same local ties, attempted to institu- tionalize the corporate involvement process by creating the Project on Corporate Social Responsibility. The project today consists of the chief executiv~ officers of the region's largest corporations. It trains new leadership in the canons of civic responsibility and fosters discussion of important social issues. It's important to note that. corporate involvement in all these organizations means the direct involvement of top management. Thus the participants are the people who have the clout to make commitments to get-things done. Moreover, Twin Cities corporations have put their money where their pro.verbial mouth is. In 19zg5, the Dayton company instituted a policy of allocating an amount equal to five percent of its pretax earnings to the community, and that policy has been adopted by many other Twin Cities corporations. In 1976, the Minneapolis Chamber of Com- merce established a Five Percent Club, and a Two Percent Club has been formed as well. Despite an impressive list of successes, however, private sector participation in local community affairs does not always have a happy ending. A prime example is the City Venture Corporation's involvement in the Elliot Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. City Venture is a for-profit company, organized by the Control Data Corporation, which takes a holistic approach to urban redevelopment. Elliot Park is a blighted in- ncr city neighborhood, in need of housing, business development, and jobs. City Ven- ture promised to provide all three. Conflict resulted when City Venture developed a plan without the full participation of neighborhood residents. The resulting adversarial rela- tionship thwarted any subsequent cooperation among the groups involved. On the whole, though, corporate contributions have been used most creatively and successfully. For example, the McKnight Foundation initiated the redevelopment of a St. Paul warehouse district [Lowertown, see page 18] by establishing a $10 million revolving fund. And accepting the recommendations of a mayoral task.force, many Min- neapolis businesses have voluntarily accepted 'assignment' to 10 target neighborhoods to help residents train for and find jobs. Ronnie Brooks Brooks is manager of community development and policy planning of the Da)-ton Hudson Cor- poration in Minneapolis. Formerly. she was special assistant to the governor of Minnesota and research director for the state senate. For an account of Dayton's activities in a Minneapolis neighborhood, see review, page ~3. help in reducing front-end risks on large- scale projects--'entrepreneurial coordina: tion.' But he sees virtue in the council em- phasizing economic development--~It should have been done from the start.' And he thinks the Isaacs proposal responds to 'the regional agenda'--real needs as defined by the community, as op- posed to what Einsweiler thinks has too often been a cour~cil tendency to define its work program in terms of its internal organization. ' Take-over att.ernpt In response to continuing criticism, Isaacs deferred implemention of his economic development package. He also stopped pushing his other controversial proposal--to have an elected council take over the operating functions of the tran- sit, airports, and waste control commis- sions. That idea drew a sharp letter of reprimand from Harry Sieben, Jr., and Roger Moe, respectively Minnesota's house speaker and senate majority leader, who told Isaacs that his job is to carry out the law as the legislature passed it, not t6 lobby for changes in the metropolitan structure. Others also have taken Isaacs to task on both the economic development and take-over issues, for seeking to involve the council in operating functions to the potential detriment of its basic planning and coordinating role. Einsweiler agxees that 'operations will always drive out planning." But he thinks Isaacs's take-over plan at least addresses a legitimate and long-standing problem of the council's relationship to other metropolitan agencies..The talk," he says, "is about the council and other agencies, not about the sum of regional government and the pattern of shared relationships. The commissions operate as separate agen- cies wi'file the council gets more and more remote from them. There is too much em- phasis on who does what rather than on the process. It's not a collective metro-. politan government; the units have retreated into little boxes. 'The real weakness," says Einsweiler,'is the lack of understanding of the planning- operations relationship--who has the last word and where.' To Einsweiler, the ideal relationship--in the case of transit, for example--would be for the Metropolitan Transit Commission and the Metropolitan Council to work out transit planning and policy together, with the council having the last word. Then both agencies would work out transit operations together, with the transit commission having the last word. Kolderie thinks terminology such as 10 Plaxming March 1984 planning and coordinating ought to be buried. 'Sqe want the council to make things happen--that's its basic function, to decide what should happen." The critical question, says Kolderie, is the council gets someone else {the metro agencies and local governments} to do what it thinks needs to be done. '~fou can't coerce someone who has a monopo- ly on providing a service. So the council goes after the authority to do the job itself. Persuasion and negotiation would be more effective. But the only way you can get cooperation is to make it clear you don't want to take over the function." Ambiguities Meanwhile, questions also have been raised about the propriety of certain metro agency actions. The waste control commis- sion was heavily criticized in a recent St. Paul newspaper investigative series for wasteful spending, mismanagement, and unethical conduct. A subsequent study by · a governor's task force headed by John Bo- land found no evidence of criminal behav- ' ior but suggested major changes in the com- mission's structure and operations. The transit commission also has been criticized for switching its ad agency contract to a' firm represented by Roger Mae, the state senate majority leader. And Isaacs came under fire fo/ switching the council's payroll account to a bank that had ex- tended loans to his private business. As a result, some Republican legis- lators-already unhappy about what they consider Perpich's use of the metro com- missions for political patronage--called for the resignation or firing not only of Isaacs but of the chairmen of the transit and waste control commissions. Even some members of Perpich's Democratic- Farmer-Labor party privately wanted Isaacs out before the session started as a way of heading off a debilitating assault on the council by the 1984 legislature. In action Amid all of this turmoil, the council often seems distracted from its basic respoh- sibilities. Minneapolis planning director Byrum, for example, criticizes it for inaction on the plans of Bloomington, a big suburb to the south, to redevelop the site of the area's vacated major league sports stadium {replaced by the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis}. Byrum believes a new stadium would pro- duce a third dov~ntown that would under- mine the vitality of the .two existing downtowns. "The council hasn't understood the metropolitan issues in- volved,'' he says. '~lt has failedio look at the socioeconomic impacts or the long-range impacts on transportation. It's treating one of the largest development proposals in the area's history as a question of whether we do or don't need another freeway interchange." Kolderie notes that both the council and the transit commission remained essential- ly on the sidelines as a legislative study commission pondered basic changes in the way transit service is organized and delivered--even though "that's the sort of thing the council itself was supposed to do." The legislative commission, says Kolderie, is doing an excellent job of ad- dressing the need to find better ways of providing transit service in the suburbs. On the other hand, the council is "so screwed up with internal junk that it can't get at it. It dropped the ball completely and is now trying to catch up." Gerald Isaacs But the council is involved in another, more publicly visible transit issue. Having recently abandoned a long-standing policy that excluded fixed-guideway transit from consideration, it is now, at least officially, open to the idea of light rail transit. And it is pursuing a proposal, promoted by Isaacs, for private construction of a high- speed transit link between the Min- neapolis and St. Paul downtowns. At the same time, however, the council is par- ticipating in a joint study of transit options--including light rail--along ap- proximately the same corridor. This ap- parent conflict has led another participant in the options study to urge the council to drop the fast-link proposal, which he said would only waste time and distract atten- tion from the study's more carefully thought-out approach. The council is also involved in the selec- tion of sites for the disposal of solid and sewage-sludge wastes. Having rejected' some of the sites chosen by Hennepi~ County, the council is now conducting its own search for mom acceptable locations. And it is reviewing proposed sites for a metropolitan-area horse racing track to be built under Minnesota's new parimutuel law. .The council also reviewed potential site~ for the new Metrodome and actually issued the bonds for its construction'the first time it had exercised such authority. Otherwise, though, the 1977 state law authorizing a new sports stadium represented a significant step backward in legislative reliance on the council-.to resolve regional issues. Legislative backsliding The choice of a site for the proposed new stadium was the subject of heated con- troversy, particularly between Min- neapolis and Bloomington. To resolve it and to build and operate the facility, tht legislatur~ created the Metropolitan Sporlz Facilities Commission. But it did not put the commission directly under the coun- cil's umbrella. Sports commission mem- bers were appointed by the governor ane were given the final say on what kind c~ stadium to build and where. Later legisla- tion transferred the power to appoint con> mission members to the Minneapolis ci~ council and narrowed the financing.base from a seven-county liquor tax backin~ construction bonds to a Minneapolis-onl,x tax. Another example of legislative backsliding was the 1982 Surface Wat~.- Management Act, which required the m~ ropolitan area's 44 secondary watershe£ districts to draw up plans for reducin~ surface-water runoff, a major source eof pollution in the region's rivers and lakes Although paralleling in many respects the 1976 land planning act, the surface ware,. management act took away council review authority over watershed districts, which dated back to the 1967 law creating the council. The question for the council, and for the Twin Cities metropolitan strategy in general, is whether the Minnesota legislature's stadium and watershed plan- ning decisions were isolated incidents or the beginning of a trend away from coor- dinated solutions to regional problems. The 1984 legislative session may tell. Charles C. Whiting, an editorial writer for the Minneapolis Star and 7'ribune, was public infor- mation officer for the Metropolitan Planning Commission and the Metropolitan Council from 1962 to 1968. USING CABLE TELEVISION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY IN SMALL COMMUNITIES Cable television can provide a community with new and in- novative means of delivering public safety services.

Kathman. Mr. Dolhancryk is the Director of the Public Safety Communications Center, Florence, Kentucky. Mr. Kathman is the Assistant Chief of the Florence, Kentucky Police Department. By 1986 more than half of all American households will be connected to providers of cable television. Television, already a major social force, will geometrically increase its penetration into the home and thus the depth of its impact. In a few short years, cable not only will inc/'ease the impact of television in addressing the population as a mass, but will be able to tailor presentations to smaller and smaller interest groups· In many communities served by cable, the public sector has access to selected cable channels. In other com- munities, public sector agencies pay little attention to cable television, and even ff they did, would be at the mercy of providers to gain access to the medium. The lat- ter public sector agencies could have had positive arrange- ments for access to cable if the requirements for allocating channels to their private use had been part of the fran- chise agreement; It is unfortunate that the use of tele- vision as an educational medium, rather than an enter- tainment medium on]y, has not been appreciated fully by many communities that have entered into cable franchises. · ' BACKGROUND Northern Kentucky consists of three counties: Boone, Campbell, and Kenton. Part of the Greater Cincinnati area, these counties have a population appr.oaching 200,000. The counties in northern Kentucky are similar to many communities across the nation that border or are part of a major metropolitan center. Within each county a large number of small units'of government have been incorporated. Where these governments in the past repre- sented geographically separate entities, they now essen- tially represent segments of one large community, but retain individual authority. This situation aggravates the considerable fragmentation and confusion in the area, even though the area shares a multitude of the same problems and opportunities· Of the 40 cities within Boone, Campbell, and Ken- ton counties, 36 have their own police departments. More than 40 fire departments serve these cities and th~ unincorporated areas. Two of the three county sheriff~ departments also provide law enforcement services. In the public safety community of northern Ken- tucky, formal intercourse exists and operational com- munications via police and fire radio systems are ade- quate. The dissemination of procedures, policies, and standardized intercommunity training, however, is limited by the overwhelming number of entities, and this is a serious deficiency, In an area where borders are in the middle of densely populated streets, standard procedures and tactics are imperative for the safety of officers and citizen~'alike. The training of police officers and the exchange of criminal intelligence between departments are just two critical areas that have been severely hampered in north- ern Kentucky. It is common for information to be obso- lete before all agencies have it because of the unavailabil- ity of officers' time and funds to support attendance at regional meetings. In addition to intermittent co .mmunication between professionals, the public safety community in this area is severely handicapped when attempting to communicate to citizens, the consumers of their services. Small to medium-size police departments traditionally have been unable to'i:traw the attention of the media and to use the media to contact users of public safety services. Although every agency dealing with the public must maintain a solid line of contact with the community to convey messages that may be important to clientele (changes in operation, new laws or ordinances, special alerts), it seems that only larger communities make the 6 p.m, news. It appears also that only bac~' news is sure to be considered by the mass media for distribution to the public. APPLYING THE CONCEPT When cable television arrived in northern Kentucky in 1981, two of the counties, Boone and Kenton, were fully aware of its potential. The counties put together a board, the Kenton-Boone County Cable Television Board, and hired an administrator. Based on per capita represen- tation, the board was composed of mayors and members of the Boone Count5' Fiscal Court, the county's elected Management Information Service Ocbody. Realizing the potential ot~ cable ~or promoting ohesiveness in the fragmented communities, the board inSured that a mandatory channel requirement was part of the franchise agreement contracted with Storer Communications in late 1981. Storer was required to reserve channels for the pub- lic sector and to put together an institutional net'work to tie public agencies. The intercornmurfity network (ICN) is used both for interagency communication and public access. As a result of these mandatory requirements, over a dozen channels out of a capability of 80 were desig- nated for use by cities, schools, and public safety agendes. Forward-looking government offidals on the cable board, which wrote the franchise, and public safety of- fidals from the two counties envisioned public safety uses. They realized that access of public safety agencies to video communication channels could be critical in im- proving public safety effectivgness in northern Ken, tucky. The Florence Police Department and the Public' Safety CommunicationS Center (PSCC), a centralized dispatch- lng and record center serving all public safety agendes in Boone County, were particularly aware of this potential. A new medium was available, and programs on it could pinpoint specific audiences representing clients of par- ticular services. Once the franchise was approved, in 198'1, the authors of this report became involved. For three to six Omonths we worked with Storer government represen- tatives and the cable board~ administrator in developing programs. Meanwhile, we tried to sell the concept of using cable to promote public safety, but the police offi- cials, mayors, and city managers we talked to weren't ready to look at it as serious adult entertainment. So we finally produced our own homemade pro- - grams. Using equipment that the franchise had provided free of charge, we made programs on shoplifting, drunk driving, and drug use by juveniles, the latter a panel discussion. The programs were broadcast throughout the two counties and were well received. These initial programs, however, were amateurish. We took flak because of it, but we got exposure. We received .training in use of the equipment from Storer; later local television stations helped us on cutting produc- tion costs. Through trial and error, technical problems worked themselves out. One problem encountered initially was the fear of officials, particularly elected officials, to .stand in front of a camera. Fortunately, the mayor of Florence was inter- ested in the medium, particularly in filming council meetings. In 1982 PSCC and the Florence Police Department, one of its prime customers, focused on the potential of cable television. The agencies sought programming that would accomplish the following goals: 1. Make the public more aware of safety issues and services provided and planned' by public safety agencies in the city and county 2. Increase the effectiveness and effi6ency o[ the poliCe, both within the departments of each com- munity and through interagency contact with sur- rounding agencies. With these general_ goals in mind, the Florence police Departmen~ and PSCC set forth seven problems in com- munication that have traditionally hampered the smaller police department in improving access to citizenS and overall effectiveness: 1. The inability to make the smaller community aware of local issues 2. The difficulty in making participation convenient for dtizens 3. The high cost of long- and short-term public educa- tion projects 4. The inability to alert local business of criminal ac- tivity quickly and cost-effectively 5. The absence of an effective method for timely ex- change of intelligence between police departments 6. The lack of training opportunities for police officers in the smaller communities 7. The inability to pretrain the public and quickly pro- vide citizens concise information concerning disasters. Along with the seven problems, the agencies .formulated one question about tactical situations that intrigued us: can public safety tactics be improved through the use of cable~ With cable, increased police presence and accessibility has been possible at less than five percent of the cost of the personnel that would otherwise be necessary. Up to this time, the traditional method for address- lng these problems had been to increase staffing to handle community relations, crime prevention programs, and the like. A smaller community with its budget restric-' tions, however, cannot afford to divert many police resources to nonpatrol activities. While major cities, by virtue of sheer size, can do this, smaller communities must devote the bulk of police resources to patrol. But the fact remains that these problems still must be ad- dressed. It was clear to the authors that solving the prob- lems listed above demanded increasing departments' presence and accessibility to the community as a whole and to individual segments of the community. Before cable, the only solutions available would Using Cable TV for Public Safety 3 have meant substantial increases in personnel expendi- tures. With cable, increased police presence and accessi- bility has been possible at less than five percent of the cost of the personnel that would other~hse be necessary. The only costs involved are for the capitalization of some of the equipment and for the time of officers who do production. It's difficult to get officers to sit down and plan a script for a cable program. But the time and cost involved have been nothing compared to that of having an officer communicate with the public face to face. Assume that it costs $30 an hour to equip, train, and pay an officer on Patrol. The cost of making the ha]f-hour tape on shop- lifting, for instance, was minimal, yet the program has played to at least 3,000 people. It: an officer had been taken off patrol and sent out on community relations, it would take 30 one-hour meetings, each before 100 peo- ple, to accomplish the same results. So cost-effective is cable that both Boone County and the city of Fterence have authorized overtime for actual taping of cable pro- grams on public safety. Although compared to the personnel requirements needed for public safety programs, cable expenditures are extremely ]ow, when assigned to the budget of one small department these expenditures ;represented a sizable capital investment. We were able to overcome this re- source problem with the active support and assistance of other public safety agencies in the county, particularly the Boone County Police Department and the Boone County Detention Center. With the police department we did community awareness programs, and the department also gave us time for training. The chief jailer supported our video lineup program (discussed later) even though it meant a change in his facility's routine. Further support came from the Boone County Fiscal Court, the county's elected body. Early in the program, in mid 1982, the city of Florence was the only entity in Boone County served by cable. So the Fiscal Court was approached for support in developing the program. Although benefits to the county would be a thing of the future, members of the'Fiscal Court provided full support and pulled funds from different sources. Along with the dty of Florence, it encouraged us to proceed with devel- opment of our program. The cost incurred for equipment by Florence and PSCC has been $2,500, which was shared equally. A grant of $5,700 covered equipment used at the Boone County jail for the video lineup prograrh. Florence now borrows some equipment from Storer; the city is recircu- ]ating profits from the franchise to buy equipment in the future. With executive, peer, and financial support in place, we turned to the communication problems. It was neces- sary to analyze each problem, identify the components of each, and correlate the components with potential solu- tions through cable. As with any endeavor of this magni- tude, the solutions became more and more complex as we began to identify the components and design responses. COMMUNICATIONS: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Problem q: The Inability to Make the Smaller Community Aware of Local Issues A dry council meeting in a small or medium-size dty is normally not first on the list of entertainment attractions. Most meetings of legislative bodies are sparsely attended. Indeed, many times the only people who attend are the council and staff. Occasionally,. an issue arises that engenders, substantial attendance and response. Unfor- tunately, because this response is normally based on heresay and secondary information, persons attending operate On a high level of misinformation and an even higher level of emotion. Issues raising high levels of emotional response do not even come to the attention of the public until well after initial discussions. These discussions, sometimes lasting hours, are compressed into two column inches of a local newspaper or 30 seconds of media time. A small portion of the city's population read or view the story. And that exposure of the issue is determined by editors and news directors well removed from the issue who have little or no concern with the outcome. The city of Florence determined that broadcasting cotmci] meetings over cable could provide more citizens not only first-hand information, but perhaps more com- plete information. Florence was one of five target sites (along with Fort Mitchell, Covington schools, Southern Hills Fire Depart- ment, and a local college) within the franchise area selected to receive free of charge equipment needed for an outgoing cable connection, such as modulators and hookups. One would assume that this equipment would solve a major portion of the problem, funding, but ac- tually this was perhaps easiest to overcome. Equipment required only dollars, and the Kenton-Boone County Cable Television Board provided funding. The major difficulty was people's attitudes. It was disconcerting to realize that, although television had been a part of the American way of life for 30 years, the poten- tial of the medium had barely been realized by those peo- ple whose lives it affected so greatly: public officials. Ini- tial meetings revealed that few officials were able to see beyond the "Captain Friendly" approach to local public safety programs. For years local television stations have relegated ,public safety programs to early Sunday morn- ing, with a grandfatherly figure nicknamed Captain Friendly explaining do's and don'ts to the kiddies. This image would stick in the minds of many northern Ken- tucky officials and would continue to present problems for us when striving for the additional equipment, per- sonnel, and time needed to achieve high quality in our productions. The "simple" task of televising council meetings re- quired the training of personnel to operate cameras and Management Information Service sound equipment, a restructuring of the wiring in the · building to simplify the connection to the cable out-put point, and changes in council meeting procedures. No longer could the council start proceedings 10, 15, or 20 minutes late. After the initial broadcast, it was deter- mined that lighting needed to be improved and sound clarified if broadcasts of decent quality were to be presented. In addition, rebroadcast of city meetings on a regular schedule required the training of additional per- sonne] to operate equipment used for that purpose. Other cable audio and visual equipment permits the transmission of typed messages. Training required to per- form this function was minimal, but this service did re- quire the establishment of a system to make sure the in- formation was updated continually. During the initial months of production, program quality was low. Of course, in any new project there is a period of trial and error before desired quality is achieved, particularly when dealing with live broadcasts. Low quality, however, when added to expectations of another Captain Friendly. approach, made for slow acceptance. The Florence Police Department and PSCC assumed the 'lead in correcting th~ problems. Although familiarity does breed contempt, it can also reduce resistance. Even- tually, the ability of council members and other city offi- cials to view themselves and to see marked improvements in productions reduced their objections and resistance to improving equipment and changing procedures. With a majority of the early problems solved, for over a year the city of Florence has effectively used cable television to broadcast live city council meetings, special issue meetings of council, and call-in programs on func- tions of specific public interest. An example of the effec- tiveness of cable broadcasting is a heated annexation issue. The city of Florence has been involved in a major expansion, an annexation program, which is a highly emotional issue in northern Kentucky. The ability of the city to televise firsthand information to the population affected has taken much of the bombast out of the discus- sion, returning a h~ated issue to the level of intelligent discussion. Problem 2: The Difficulty in Making Participation Convenient for Citizens It is wel] known in government that it is extremely diffi- cult to get citizens involved. It is equally difficult to keep citizens properly informed. Any function planned by a local government that requires substantial citizen in- vo]vement quickly gets bogged down in scheduling. Communities are unlike clubs or social groups that have a common interest and estab]ished times of assembly agreeable to the majority of members. Our initial production efforts became bogged down in determining convenient times for broadcasts. Broa'd- casts of council' meetings were set fbr normal meeting times, but we quickly realized that exactly those people one would wish to have actively involved in government were not always available at 7':30 p.m. The low cost of cable allowed us to address small segments of the popula- tion, but we were undecided about timing. We realize now that we too were hampered by the Captain Friendly syndrome. We kept thinking of the pub- lic service programs made by major networks and local television stations that get broadcast during the early hours of Sunday mornings and other inappropriate times. By observing network television, we soon realized that what we needed was to take a page from the adver- tiser's notebook: saturation was the key. Rebroadcasting... allows us to reach audiences that at each viewing might be very small, but over the course of a broadcast run could amount to hun- dreds or even thousands of citizens. When we fully realized that our cable channd was available to us 24 hours a day, it was relatively simple to establish a schedule, rebroadcasting each of the programs throughout the day. This allows us to reach audiences that at each viewing might be very small, but over the course of a broadcast run could amount to hundreds or even thousands of citizens. And saturation adds no addi- tional cost for the city or the agencies involved. We soon began broadcasting two to three hours of programs at least five times a day, selecting times that might be considered odd by television programmers: 7:30 a.m:, 11:30 a:m., 3:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m., and 11:30 p.m. How- ever, this schedule, selected to hit those times of day when commercial programming is at an ebb, did fit established local viewing patterns. With this, our present schedule, the viewer can watch portions of a program at one time and pick up other parts of the same program at other times. Citizens of Florence or Boone County, Kentucky now can be completely inforn'~ed through factual, original information without leaving the comfort of home an.d without changing their daily schedule. By o~'- ginal information, we mean information that has not been digested and regurgitated by newspapers or altered by word of mouth. Again, the annexation issue provided a test for the powers of original information. The city of Florence tele- vised live a question and answer program on the issue. For weeks before the program, the city had broadcast in- formation on annexation across the cable channel, achiev- ing a high saturation level. In the opinion of those attend- ing and viewing the question and answer session, the quality of questions asked by the public was high, and the emotional heat was low. A majority of community leaders and officials involved attributed this to the infor- mational process that took place via cable, a process that would have been economically impossible by other Problem 3: The High Cost of Long- and Short- term Public Education Projects It is unfortunate that most problems that could be solved through citizen information and improved public aware- ness are not brought to the public~ attention until the problems are well beyond the crisis stage. For example, a . rash of burglaries committed by persons with the same method of operation or by the' Same person does not come to the attention of the public via mass media until so many crimes have been committed that the perpetra- tor may have achieved the status of folk hero. Imagine, for instance, going to a local televisign sta- tion manager after fewer than 10 similar burglaries and asking for 30 minutes at 7:30 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. to describe how the criminal operates and to offer steps that citizens can take to protect themselves. You/' visit would be short. Unfortunately, many public safety officials later are hounded by the media after such a criminal has com- mitted 100 crimes. Even more to the point, imagine yourself with the Same series of fewer than 10 crimes going before your governing body to request funds to send out a first class letter to every citizen who could be affected. If one at- tempted, to reach only one-third of a city of 15,000, postage alone would cost $'1,000. If one added to this figure the cost of personnel and material, one could easily see a bill of $3,000. It is highly unlikely that such funding would be approved by any governing body that com- l~ared cost to benefit. Cable television, however, has enabled the Florence Police Department and PSCC to reach that many persons or more for less than $100. With the initial capital invest- ment in equipment having been made, our two agendes can quickly and easily-put together programs that warn dtizens of potential or actual crimes. The cost is only for personnel time involved. In one case, six or seven purse thefts had occurred at local places of entertainment. The Florence Police Department and PSCC put together a five- minute broadcast explaining .how, where, and under what circumstances the crimes took place. Using our sys- tem of continuous broadcasting, saturation was quickly achieved for information that otherwise w'ould have been unavailable to the public. Soon after the broadcasts, the pattern of theft ceased. This ability to approach the public on specific mat- ters is not limited to acute problems. The way produc- tions get off the ground is as follows. Officers in the Florence Police Department are requested to identify problems of personal concern. Then officers with special interest or expertise moften those assigned to a specific problem--are allowed sufficient time from their duties to develop and produce video programs addressing the problems from a local point of view. Using Cable TV for Public Safety 5 The producers are regular personnel from whichever department or agency is providing manpower on the pro- gram. Thus far the authors have served informally as production coordinators, helping with scripting and find- lng equipment and people who can handle it. We expect our role to diminish as more people acquire the skills needed. Viewers of our public Safety programs aren't the only ones to benefit. Officers involved not only learn more about communications--and each program produced is of higher quality--but they develop a high level of exper- tise in the subjects selected. Existing programs include safe~ on Halloween, child Safety, drug programs with juveniles, drunk driving, and shoplifting. Other pro- grams under way are discussed latei'. Again, it is our ability to saturate our audience With programs that insures our reaching a high percentage of the total audience of citizens with access to cable tele- vision. If one considers the cost of designating an officer to make contact with, say, only 2,000 people, one can easily see the cost-effectiveness of cable programming for public safety entities. Problem 4: The Inability to Alert Local Business of Criminal Activity Quickly and Cost-effectively A small police force must direct its efforts toward patrol. The luxury of a ci'ime prevention officer is not normally available. It is also difficult to take an officer from patrol and place him or her in a community relations role for a short time to handle an acute problem. The experience of many agencies has proven that a community relations officer is effective only after having spent substantial time establishing a network of contacts and information. Cable has heli~d alleviate the community relations problem for the Florence and Boone County police departments. Cable has helped alleviate the commu- nity relations problem for the Florence and Boone County police departments. Th~ Florence and Boone County police departments and PSCC produced the Community Awareness Pro- gram (CAP). Revised and updated monthly, CAP pro- vides the public, particularly the business community, with information on criminal activities. Each tape pro- duced provides pictures, composites, a case histories of criminal actions that have occurred or could occur in the community. The intent of CAP had been to provide the business community with information that would help prevent crimes or assist in apprehending perpetrators. An unex- 6 Management Information Service oted benefit of CAP has been the ability to continually adcast throughout the area pictures and information on missing persons, particularly juveniles. In several cases, missing teenagers were identified and later returned to their homes. The ability to broadcast alerts on missing juveniles should be of great interest to law enforcement agencies, which recently have been inundated by groups formed to demand increased activity in locating these children. These groups do not realize how difficult it is to induce commercial media to broadcast missing persons information on a timely basis. CAP is aired before business hours so as not to arrecr business operations and to reach the largest possible audi- ence. A videotape is available to businesses that do not have access to cable television. CAP eliminates the cost of printing large amounts of flyers for distribution to businesses and the time needed to brief business owners' on crimes. Previously, o~y the hand-carried method was available to inform businesses of criminal activity before it reached the crisis stage. Problem 5: The Absence of an Effective Method for Timely Exchange of Intelligence Between Police Departments Public administration literature and actual experience in- dicate that, in any metropolitan area, productive delivery lof services demands a high level of coordination. Under previous arrangements in northern Kentucky, chances were severely limited that apprehending officers would be aware of and monitor the activities of previously ar- rested, currently out-on-bond offenders. The smaller and medium--size cities do not have the resources to gather the latest intelligence consistently. Departments are limited to attending monthly intelligence meetings for case histories and photos of serious offenders suspected of crimes and currently out on bond. Another device available for ob- taining intelligence is teletype, but descriptions trans- mitted this way are s.evere]y limited. The use of cable television and secure Cable lines provided by the intercommunity network (ICN) has al- lowed a Video lineup to be held each day for all officers in the region. Under the Dating Game, a program funded by the Boone-Kenton County Cable Television Board, videotapes are made of suspects arrested by various agencies. This method of processing, occurring in addi- tion to photographing and fingerprinting, enables inter- ested police agencies to view in full color each suspect showh moving and from all three sides, and to hear the sound of his or her voice. The lineup tape is broadcast via scrambled cable lines every 24 hours to public safety agencies throughout the region. The Dating Game allows every officer in the region to be aware of suspects that have been arrested within the last 24 hours, what they were arrested for, and their type criminal activi6d. Ad] agencies have the option to add a videotape recorder to their equipment to tape each pro- gram. Then officers are not limited to viewing the pro- gram at a specific time of day, but can view it at any roll call or at any free time. As our video file increases, we will add to this broadcast videotapes of previously arrested subjects who are wanted for or suspects in current crimes. We believe that the ability to broadcast full color, moving, sound composites of suspects and arrested persons will increase the possibility for arrest and reduce the possibility for false arrest. Along with videotapes of criminals, videotapes of stolen property are also broadcast. Unless stolen property of low value is identified with serial numbers or special markings, it is highly unlikely that property recovered outside the community from which it was stolen will ever come to the attention of that community. Video broad~ casting of stolen property increases the possibility of return to the owner. Broadcasts are now limited to the interagency ICN, but may be carried to the public in the future. The video lineup program is currently being imple- mented by the Boone County jail, serving the Fort Mitchell, Ludlow, Southern Hills, Florence, and Boone Count~ ]aw enforcement agencies. Planning has been completed and coordination is in progress to broadcast the program to Campbell and Kenton counties in the near future. It is expected that these counties wil! establish the same program and broadcast information to their sister agencies, thus presenting suspects of past or future inci- dents in other areas of the region. Problem 6: The Lack of Training Opportunities for Police Officers in Smaller Communities. Communication is the key to successful human interac- tion at/ny level. It is especially vital for police services in an area protected by many departments. Training is an important vehicle for interagency communication, but given this high number of departments, training field per- sonnel and management is expensive and difficult to schedule. With the availability of cable televi- sion and video recording systems, a program of continual training is being developed. Currently, in Kentucky the only training made available by most departments with limited resources is that at Eastern Kentucky University, approximately 100 miles from northern Kentucky. Instruction is state- mandated for police officers, who must receive no fewer than 40 hours of formal training each year. Urffortunate]y, Using Cable TV for Public Safety 7 in actual practice, often no more than 40 hours of train- lng is received each year. With the availability of cable television and v{deo recording systems, a program of continual training is being developed on subjects determined to be important to police departments in northern Kentucky. Initial activities center around the Florence and Boone County police departments, which are taping training sessions. -As additional departments are accessed to cable, these sessions will be broadcast to each department wishing to participate in the program. With video recording equip- ment, receiving agencies will be able to tape the lectures and view them at times convenient to their officers. This will ensure that wider audiences' are available for train- ing. No longer will it be necessary for agencies to relieve officers from vital patrol duties to attend up-to-date training. Cable, as opposed' to film, can show live lectures given for a specific region, thus enabling lecturers to tailor their presentations to those agencies viewing them. The Florence and Boone County police departments hope to do live broadcasts coupled with conference telephone techniques, which allow questions from participants still located in, and available to protect, their communities. Training films tend to be broad, lacking specific informa- tion. But this cable television training scenario is rich in significant information. Leading lecturers in specific fields, whose time constraints prevent the scheduling of individual lectures to numerous departments, could at. once lecture to all the public safety agencies interested in the program. The cost of producing a videotape is small compared to that of conducting classes in central locations and losing the services of officers required to attend. In addition, compare the numerous subjects that can be addressed over the course of the training year on cable to the cur- rent program of one course given one time a year. Training over cable retains the realistic "you are there" approach of the classroom. An officer can view a demonstration, listen.to a management concept, or wit- ness a mock enforcement contact designed to emphasize a particular point. It is often easier to identify with.a situa- tion one can see than with a scenario described on paper. The officers involved in video training can actually par- ticipate in classroom activities without leaving their juris- diction. Whereas in small departments only one officer might be released to attend a training seminar in a distant community, with cable all officers can meet in their roll call room, view and participate in the training session, and still be available for call. Video messages are also more personal than written communication and provide unaltered information to all who view them. Word-of-mouth information can be unintentionally distorted in the retelling. Cable television offers four benefits to departments. involved in training: 1. Decreased cost. It is expensive to send your officers to seminars, and it takes them away from critical patrol duties. Often when'one or even several of- ficers are sent away to a seminar, the information obtained is not distributed to others, resulting in nonuniform distribution of information throughout the department. 2. Flexibility. You can schedule, training when you want, and maintain tapes for review and updating. 3. Comfortable medium. The .right learning environ- ment is created by programming leading profes- sionals. Television is a medium that everyone is cornfortable with; including.gfficers. 4. Up-to-date information. The most current infor- mation is available almost immediately and can be updated regularly. Consider the difficulties in scheduling a series of lectures fo~-r~0]'~ than 30 poli¢~-departments to explain the fine points of a Supreme Court decision. Lecturers will be more likely to visit the city ff they know that they will be lecturing to hundreds of officers rather than a dozen or fewer. ProE~em 7: The Inability to Pretrain the Public and Quickly Provide Citizens Concise Information Concerning Disasters This is a serious problem in any community and critical in communities with a large transient population. The city of Florence has within its borders a large regional shopping mall, a large industrial..park, and a section of interstate that is the major north-south route linking Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago, and Detroit to the southern United States. This means, as is true of many other communities, that the population being served is considerhbly larger than the resident population. Of course, manpower was based on resident,, not transient, population. The bottom line is that the potential for disasters of wide scope far outweighs the manpower available to control them. In any emergency, the protection of life is para- mount. Before cable, if it had becom~ necessary to evac- uate large areas of Florence, all--available personnel would have had to be allocated to the evacuation pro- cedure. Actual units assigned to the scene would have been first-response fire vehicles without police protection or traffic control assistance. Befc~te cable, disaster sirens were the primary method of notifying the population of potential or actual' disasters. Without supplemental means, sirens are inef- fective because of two major problems: they aren't always heard and they aren't always understood. When disaster sirens were first installed in com- munities, social activities were such that people spent a large amount of time outside. Over the past two decades, more and more people have been remaining in their resi- dences during free time, being entertained by televisions, stereos, and now video games. This trend will continue. 8 Management Information Service' ' /dctitlonally, when the sirens were first installed, most · ,~vusinesses or residences did not have air conditioning or background music systems. Following the energy crisis, homes, buildings, and places of assembly became ex- many social and political issues that will need to be dis- tremely well insulated thus further reducing the possi- cussed in depth. At present', it is envisioned that only bility that sirens would be heard. The second problem, the difficulty of the public to understand what a siren means, can be illustrated by the following. In northern Kentucky a citizen hearing sirens cannot automatically tell whether volunteers are being called into service, a tornado watch has been initiated, or a tornado has actually been sighted in the area. Anyone who has ever worked in a communications center is made familiar with this confusion over the meaning of sirens by a deluge of calls from the public. These two major problems with sirens reduce the ability of local governments to notify their population of potential or actual disasters. This, in turn, reduces juris- dictions' ability to help move the residents out of dlnger. The Florence Police Department, Boone County, and PSCC have initiated two major changes to their dis- aster plans that should make citizens more quickly aware of potential danger: use of cable to update the public on the status of an emergency and modification of sirens. The two changes, described below, should allow the dry to use more effectively the limited resources available to help evacuate residents in danger areas. on Eme!'gendes. Cable television can provide the missing link in disaster alert and identification. PSCC has been equipped with a "red line," a direct access phone to the control hub for Storer Cable. This line allows the communications center to access and broadcast audio in- formation across all the cable channels (presently 62). Once access is gained, we can tell citizens to switch to the channel allocated for use by Boone County public agen- cies. With a character generator that allows the center to input specific messages, we could designate routes to be taken out of a danger area or places where citizens may go for safety and housing. With the camera equipment now in place for other purposes, .we can make live broadcasts from the emer- gency Operations center in PSCC. Maps, pictures, up-to- date information, and rumor control could be broadcast without going through the media. Relieved of the duty of sending personnel up and down streets to alert people to evacuate, affected agencies could use personnel where most needed. For instance, ambulance personnel could be sent to rest homes to move the disabled, and police of- ficers could be assigned to keep critical intersections open. Thus far the cable system has been used for an emergency only once, during a snowstorm. Striking at 3:30 p.m., the storm caused rush hour tie-ups. PSCC put out over the cable information on which roads were icy. is difficult to measure the effect of this information, but calls to the center decreased from a deluge in the late afternoon to only three an hour by 7:30 p.m. those persons who request this service would receive it. One involved in disaster planning can easily see the tremendous step forward cable represents in notifying the public of emergencies. Now that we can provide im- mediate, concise information, sirens become, if nothing else, a feasible method of alerting people to turn to the public channel on television for information. Modification of Sirens. A federal grant was applied for through the disaster and emergency services in Kentucky. The grant allowed PSCC to modify sirens to accept a single tone that would activate all sirens in Boone County at the same 'time. Other modifications will allow the sirens to activate up to four different tones. At the pres- ent pace, by the end of fiscal year 1983-84, disaster notification in om' county will have gone from five years behind the times to five years ahead. Future technical changes tO the Cable will allow us to broadcast information to only those areas affected by a disaster or emergency. A potential emergency in the Florence area would be broadcast only to that area and not to the three counties covered by the cable system, thus avoiding confusion. Cable also allows pretraining in disaster procedures. In our communities, as in most, the disaster plan was a large book gathering dust. We had placed all our resources in readiness and had hoped that in an emergency we'd be able to reach the public. It is almost impossible to get the public interested, to any real degree, in preparing for a disaster. But with the ability of cable to saturate, we now regularly run disaster training programs, which range in subject from what to do in tornadoes to procedures to take in hazardous materials incidents. POLICE TACTICS AND CABLE TELEVISION In discussions on tactics, it was immediately apparent that cameras linked to the cable system could be used to monitor high crime areas. In our area auto thefts from shopping mall parking lots is a problem. Although using cameras there is feasible, the question of Big Brother still must be resolved by our policymakers. The discussions did, however, raise other ways that cable could be used in police tactics. One is in the response of an officer to a "holdup in progress" alarm. This can be one of the most dangerous situations to confront a police officer--and dangerous to citizens as well. Although response tactics have changed over the years to reduce the potential for danger, the basic elements of risk still exist. Most departments have established procedures that require officers to stay back and evaluate the situation Using Cable TV for Public Safety' before entering the holdup area. This is done to reduce the danger of hostage situations. But, without any real information from inside the building, danger is not elim- inated. A well-informed criminal actually can use police procedures to his advantage. Before arriving on the scene, the responding officer (or officers) has no way to learn what the suspect (or suspects) looks like. Under present procedures, it will be several minutes before the officer actually enters the property, and then the officer must give attention to everyone at the scene. It is always possible that suspects are still present, increasing the danger. The Florence Police Department and PSCC are currently working with local banks to replace their standard film cameras with video cameras linked via cable television lines to monitors and video recorders at PSCC. The responding officer, quite unaware of how many suspects are involved, must interview several subjects to ~ind out. If the suspect has left the scene before the officer's arrival, critical time is lost while the officer solicits a description of the suspect from emotionally upset tellers, clerks, and customers. Ten minutes or more may elapse before a solid description is on the air. In a community such as ours, the suspect could be 10 miles away or more via interstate highway. Besides, eyewitness testimony is well known by la~v enforcement officials to be the weakest type of testimony. Four witnesses may give four different descriptions of what took place. In banks, camera systems now in operation are nor- many equipped with inferior film that is not changed often enough. Pictinres of suspects are not dear enough for identification. Further, the timeit takes to process the film may add to the criminal's escape time. The use of cable television and other technology anows for considerable advancement in responding to holdups. Cable potentially allows law enforcement agen- cies to improve safety considerably for all concerned. A BankJob The Florence Police Department and PSCC are currently working with local banks to replace their standard film cameras with video cameras linked via cable television lines to monitors and video recorders at PSCC. Once an alarm is tripped, these cameras would activate and trans- mit into the cable system via scrambled channels. Pic.~ tures would arrive at the center's monitors in much the same way that present alarms arrive. The use of cameras and cable actually would al]owcommunications person- nel and command police officers to view a robbery in. progress. Responding units could then be told exactly what was going on in the bank, but could still stay well out of the area, thus reducing the possibility of being seen by the perpetrators and provoking a hostage situation. Dis- patchers could also g~ve units an actual description of the suspect or suspects involved, allowing arriving police to know who among the subjects at the bank are the actual perpetrators. With solid, accurate, firsthand information about the perpetrators and weap6ns involved, command personnel could be in a position to make tactical deci- sions. Additionally, the videotape could be used in the future to show the actual robbery taking place. This is only one of many tactical operations that could be improved through the use of cable. The possi- bility exists that during long-term operations, connec- tions could be made to local cable points in the area of the crime and live video pictures broadcast back to the emergency operations center. These concepts may seem futuristic, but negotiations are actually under way with banks to provide this service in the city of Florence and- Boofi'~ County. We hope the idea will come to fruition within six months. The uses of cable television discussed in this report-- both those in operation and those planned for in the near future by the Florence Police Department and PSCC-- are only a start at taking advantage of the potential of cable television in public safety work. In time, we believe that we will be able to install on temporary assignment cameras in areas of high criminal activity. We believe that cable television will greatly improve the effectiveness of our police departments and other agencies and will reduce the danger involved in the continuing battle to meet increasing demands with increasingly limited resources. RESULTS Citizens are watching the new public safety programs on cable, and they are responding pgsitively. We would estimate that 40 to 50 percent of th~ audience hooked up in Boone County check the public sector cable to see whether something new is on. We receive comments on a program and on the issues raised. There was tremendous response, for example, to coverage of a Fiscal Court meeting oh animal leg traps. We expect to get much reac- tion to the new program on juvenile runaways. Beneficial effects on police operations will take longer. Staff levels are unaffected thus far. It has been suggested that one officer alone handle cable programs and follow through full time; staffing a part-time position is a possibility. Cable is promoting the goal of cohesive- ness and standardization of procedures in northern Ken- tucky police services, but thus far only to the smallest fraction of its potential. ? Management Information Service Using Cable TV for Public Safety What we've tried has worked out well. The problem is keeping people interested, keeping the momentum goi . SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Local govemments, which provide many services for the public, are severely hampered in their ability to place before the public full information on important issues. Many policy issues that require in-depth analysis and are critical to the future of the community only come to the community's attention haphazardly and incompletely. Additionally, many of the agencies that deliver services deemed necessary by local governments come to the attention of the public only in moments of crisis. ~ Public safety agencies, ever since the 'days of Sir Robert Peel and his bobbies, have known that the best way to increase services is to expand the presence of offi- cers. This has been impossible, however, due to budget constraints and other c6nsiderations in the administra- tion of small communities and their services. Cable television, properly planned for and used, can help overcome these obstacles..If cable is to be used effec- a~ively, the franchise must include, at no cost to the user ~gendes, channel.s specifically allocated for local govern- ment and public safety use. Providers are in a profit- making business and will do a lot. The franchise must also include arrangements that allow for the passage of information via video channels to neighboring commu- nities ond their service delivery agencies. The a~inistrator control~ cable ~ a sp~c' de- patient must anti,pate ~a~ed at~d~ ~at con- --'-- sider television a recreational m~ium o~y ~d work ~emely hard to overcome ~em.

Some final reco~endatio~: 1. Hire a professional consultant while developing a franchise. 2. Talk to jurisdictions with both favorable and unfa,' vorable franchises. 3. Train interested personnel in Program production. 4. Accept production mistakes and keep at it. 5. Don't plan programming forever; get in and do it.' 6. Most of all, use your cable system. Elsew, here, jurisdictions might have franchises as favorable as ours, but they're afraid to produce pro- grams. Florence and Boone County are the only jurisdic- tions in our franchise area using the franchise. If the above is done, cable can allow local govern- ments to present their case completely. Cable can allow citizens to view entire discussions rather than abbreviated newspaper articles or television news programs. And service delivery agencies, particularly public safety agen- cies, can expand the presence of their personnel without incurring increases in personnel cost. -~ /Jm 300 Metro Square Bldg., St. Paul, MN 55101 General Office Telephone (612) 291-6359 A Metropolitan Council Bulletin for Community Leaden For more information on items in this pub/icaHon, ~all ri March 23, 1984 'RECENT ~OUNCIL ACTIONS (March 12-23) , Ra'cetracks-The Metropolitan Council said four of the five sites being considered by the Minnesota Racing Commission will have a large but not adverse impact on regional transporta- tion plans. The Council said the Blaine, Eagan, Savage and Shakopee. sites will require changes in the regional highway and freeway system. However, the Council said c anges would ensure smooth traffic flow. The Council foresaw no adverse impacts on regional or local roadways for the Woodbury site, the fifth site. Regional sewers, airports and parks will be less affected by a racetrack site, the Council said. The commission plans to pick a site and developer March 28. Sewer Bonds-The Council's Management Committee saved the Region's residents $9.3 million in interest payments by refinancing S88.8 million in sewer bonds. A consortium headed by the investment firm of Piper, Jeffrey and Hopwood, Inc., offered a 9.11. percent interest rate over the life of the refinanced bonds. The bonds were originally sold in 1981 and 1982 primarily for improvements at the big Metro sewage treatment plant in St. Paul. Regional Services and Finances-The Council adopted phase 2 of a study on regional services and finances. Phase 1, begun 15 months ago, developed the following questions: Are additional revenues needed for regional services? Should services be funded by a single regional tax? Are services cost- effective and efficient? Is there sufficient accountability? Phase 2 addresses these issues in the areas o.f transit, airports, sewers, parks, solid waste, financing and institutional account- ability. The document will' be available next month; watch fol' it in the "New Publications" section. Parks--The Council said a stable source of revenue; such as a dedicated state tax on candy and soft drinks, should pay for up to half the cost of operating and maintaining the regional park system. The tax would produce an estimated S93 million in new funding in 1985, increasing annually to an estimated $11.2 million in 1988. The rest would continue to come from local property tax revenues. The Council rejected Ramsay County's request for rede{ig. nation of Bald Eagle-Otter Lake Regional Park as a park reserve. The county and White Bear Twp. had sought the change to prevent possible development objectionable to local residents, The Council said the park can meet regional needs and limit its development to less than 20 percent of its land. The Council urged the county and township to revise the park's development master plan to help guide the park's development. Transportation-The Council said a request by Shakopee to change its transit service is consistent with Council trans- portation policies. Shakopee plans to replace MTC bus service with commuter vans to downtown Minneapolis and privately contracted "Dial-A.Ride" transit within Shakopee. The change would mean more of Shakopee's transit taxes would directly benefit its citizens. It would also mean a loss to the MTC of S94.000 a year. cT~UNO 53~.].
