#7. Filling Council Member Vacancy
A process needs to be established for filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Council Member
Anderson. My suggestion is to hold an open process, whereby the Council invites candidates for consideration
through a competitive means. This would include advertisements in the local papers and the City Contact. An
adaptation of the current "Application for Commissions" could be created, which also culls out the political
persuasions of the candidates. I would then suggest privately interviewing each candidate in a special meeting
setting. An appointment could take place at the Annual Meeting, January 8. (The appointment is for just one
year--through 2002. The balance of the four-year term would be filled through the normal election process at
the 2002 General Election.)
#9. Land Acquisition Alternatives
Through the commissioning of the space needs study, Council Members have acknowledged the space needs
pressures on all of departments. The only department not currently being studied is that of Public Works, which
cannot be dismissed for having its needs. In addition to indoor storage, salt and sand storage and employee
parking are pressing needs.
It is my recommendation that there be an initiative to secure first options on about four of the homes east of the
Public Works facility. Acquiring the first options will reserve the City's first position as buyer in the event that
those homes go up for sale in the coming years. One of the property owners is currently giving us indicators of
~s ill health and this potential for opportunity. We could lose that opportunity, however, if the home transfers
part of an estate and the family opts to sell it to a subsequent homeowner. This also gives the potential of
ending what is a "bad neighbor" situation, with Public Works too closely situated to residential.
#10. Jonathan Paul Request
Jonathan Paul attended the July 24, 2001 meeting when the Council determined the compensation to go the
Langdon Lane residents for sewer backup damages. Mr Paul has since asked that he compensated
rrespondingly. Staff has informed him we do not believe it was the intent of the Council to provide the same
istance to all others claiming damages of similar type, but that the intent was that it was to be limited to
gdon Lane residents. However, Mr Paul has incurred the costs with the expectation that what he heard that
night applies also to him. Staff simply needs direction on this so that we know if we are to settle with Mr Paul
and how we are to respond when other residents make similar claims.
#11. 2002 Budget Discussion
Regarding discussions at the Nov 7 meeting: I have subtracted dollars in consideration of a June retirement by
the Police Chief. That would provide money, but would also have its costs. His absence would not be timely
for the planning and construction of a potential Public Safety facility. It would have its hiring costs, not to
mention the undesirability of working without a chief for six months. This is not something I can support.
In addition to dollars mentioned in Nov 7 meeting minutes, $10,000 is shown as a transfer from the Fire
Department Fund. Surplus dollars in the Police Department fund are already reflected in the General Fund.
Discussion at this meeting should include the Gillespie Center. If you consider supporting in-kind
contributions, you are encouraged to make public comment in the same regard in connection to Mound City
Days and Music in the Park. Public comment supporting in-kind involvement of those two programs will help
quell some of the reaction to not funding them this year.
Please bring past budget materials with you. Page 4 of this week's materials indicates an 11.34% levy increase
over last year comparing, to the best of our ability, last year's scenario to this year's new rules. Fund balance
to 18% or 20% with the two new scenarios.
tn Resources Report
Acting City Clerk Bonnie Ritter will soon be offered the position of City Clerk, with an effective date of Dec 7.
No efforts have been made to hire a Building Official, due to time constraints. Comments I am receiving from
the community indicate their wish to have an on-staff person over a contracted firm for the long term.
Over the next several months, I will look into the feasibility of an in-house engineer or engineering tech.

State Wide Fire Department Mutual Aid
The Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association (MSFCA) has introduced the final
version of the Minnesota "Statewide" Mutual Aid Plan. This plan was introduced
at the MSFCA Conference on October 13, 2001. MSFCA and the Department of
Public Safety have been working on this plan for about a year.
Through the MSFCA web site, I have entered our fire department data into the
survey system. Prior to our fire department participation, I need the following
from the city:
· A city resolution authorizing' Mutual Aid and delegation of authority
(a sample resolution is enclosed)..
This resolution would allow the Mound Fire Department to participate in this
Mutual Aid Plan and also delegate authority to the Mound Fire Chief (or
designee). The Mound Fire Chief would then be authorized to send resources as
necessary and practical to areas of need.
Please proceed with the resolution if you think it is appropriate.
Thank You,

FIRE DEPARTMENT MUTUAL AID SYSTEM
FOR EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENTS
Local governments in close proximity to each other often assist each other with resources such as
police, fire, or public works. LMCIT recommends that these local governments sign a written
mutual aid agreement. The written mutual aid agreement should clarify how the assistance will
be requested, the party in charge and how any losses or claims will be handled.
If there is no written agreement between parties and an emergency occurs, a community may still
request assistance from other communities. In this case, the provisions of Mirmesota Statute 12.331
Local Assistance between political subdivisions govern the relationship. This statute only applies if an
emergency has been officially declared.
Also, the Minnesota Fire Chiefs Association with input from many other organizations has
developed a State-Wide Fire Department Mutual Aid system for Extraordinary Incidents. The
main components of this system are a Fire Department Resource Inventory with Instructions
and a Resolution for Authorizing Mutual Aid.
-9623-
Please be aware that when dispatching any resource, it must be staffed with aa aPPropriate
number of qualified personnel to perform in the position in which they are assigned, such as a
Type I engine must have a minimum of four (4) personnel. One of these must be a qualified
company officer, one must be a qualified apparatus operator, and two (2) must be qualified fire
fighters. Licensed ambulances should be staffed with two (2) certified personnel at the ALS or
BLS level. Boats, mobile SCBA recharge vehicles, and mobile lighting support vehicles should
respond with adequate people qualified to fill the mission of the vehicle. A mobile f'n'e mechanic
vehicle should respond with a qualified fire equipment mechanic.

Vacancies on a Statutory City Council
By Susan Naughton
ne of your councilrnembers sub-
mits a written resignation. What
do you do? This article answers
some of the most frequently asked
questions about vacancies on a
statutory city council.
State law provides that a
council vacancy "shall be filled
by council appointment" until a special
election, if required, can be held (Minn.
Stat. § 412.02, subd. 2a). The language
of the state law is mandatory. As a
result, a citY must make its best effort
to appoint a person to fill a council
vacancy and cannot choose to leave a
council position vacant until the term
expires.
State law does not require a council
vacancy to be advertised. However,
it is a good practice to provide some
notice to the public before the council
makes an appointment. This allows
interested persons an opportunity to
request comideration.
Generally, a person must be a
United States citizen, a resident of the
citY, and at least 21 years old to be eli-
gible for appointment to fin a council
vacancy. A citY employee can be con-
sidered for appointment. However,
ifa city employee is appointed, it is
possible that the two city positions may
be incompatible. If a city employee is
appointed to an incompatible office, he
or she must resign from the other city
position. A councilmember can be
considered for appointment to fill a
council vacancy in the position of mayor
as long as the councilmember being
considered does not participate in the
appointment vote.
State hw provides that the council
makes the appointment to fill a vacancy,
except in the case ora tie vote, when
the mayor makes the appointment.
That means all members of the council,
including the mayor, can vote on the
appointment. However, the council-
member who submitted a written res-
ignation should not participate in
the appointment vote. As a practical
matter, it may be useful to determine
who the candidates for appointment
are before voting takes place. As long
as at least a quorum of the council is
present, a majority vote of those
present is sufficient to make the appoint~
ment. State law does not place any
limitation on a mayor's ability to make
an appointment in the case °fa tie
vote. As a result, a mayor can appoint
any qualified person willing to fill the
vacancy even if that person was not the
subject of the original appointment
vote.
%P~hen is a city also required to hold
a special election to fin a council vacancy?
The answer depends on whether filing
has opened for the next regular-citY
election and how long is le~ in the
unexpired portion of the term at the
time of the vacancy. If the vacancy
occurs on or after the first day to file
as a candidate for the next regular city
election or if less than two years remain
in the unexpired term, the city does
not need to hold a special election and
the appointed person can serve out the
remainder of the unexpired tenn. If the
vacancy occurs before the first day to
file as a candidate for the next regula~
city election and more than two years
remain in the unexpired term, the city'
must hold a special election to fill the
council vacancy at or before the next
regular city election and the person
elected will serve out the remainder
of the unexpired term. If the council
chooses to hold a special election to fill
a vacancy at a time other than at the
regular city election, it first must adopt
an ordinance speqifying the circurn-
stances under which such an election
will be held.
If a special election to fill a council
vacancy is held at the same time as the
reg-l~r city election, the marnes of the
candidates for the council vacancy
should be phced on the election ballot
under a separate heading indicating it is
a special election. The election ballot
should state the date the term expires
and any other information necessary
to distinguish the oflSce[ The published
and posted election notices should
include references to the special elec-
tion to fin the council vacancy.
Finally, state law provides that the
terms of elected citY officials begin on
the first Monday in January following
the election. However, the Minnesota
'Attorney General has advised that a
person elected to fill a council vacancy
m a statutory city is eligible to take an
oath and assume offlce any time after
receiving an election certificate. ~-

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kandis Hanson
FROM: John Dean
SUBJECT: Council Vacancy
You have asked that I outline for you the procedures that must be followed to declare the existence
of a vacancy on the council; and then to fill the vacancy. As you might expeCt the procedure is very
closely controlled by state law, so there are few gray areas. What follows is a summary of the laws.
More detail will doubtless be necessary should an actual situation arrise.
I. The Vacancy. Vacancies can occur from a host of circumstances. Chief among them are
death, moving from the city (or ward), or resignation.
II. Determination of the Vacancy. If one of those circumstances has occurred, the Council
must determine that a vacancy does, in fact, exist. This is done by a resolution setting forth the
factual basis for the determination (such as death, moving or resignation).
III. Filling the Vacancy. The Council is responsible for filling the vacancy. The only
qualification to be appointed to the vacancy is that the person appointed would be qualified to be
elected to the position. (Age, residency etc.). If the vacancy is the result of resignation, the resigning
member is not allowed to vote on the replacement. If the Council vote, including the vote of the
mayor, is a tie, the mayor then fills the vacancy; and can do so by selecting anyone qualified to be
elected, even an individual that was not considered by the Council.
IV. Term of Appointment.
The statute is somewhat difficult to track on this issue. The League Handbook contains the
following discussion:
If the vacancy occurs before the elected officer assumes duties, the
appointee's term runs from January 1 until the next city general election. If
the vacancy occurs during the first two years of a four-year term, the
appointee serves until the next city election when a special election is
necessary to fill the remaining two years of the term. If the city election is in
November, the newly elected councilmember takes office the following
January, just as if it were a normal election. If the vacancy occurs in the last
two years of a term, the appointee serves for the remainder of the term and a
special election is not necessary.
This characterization of the statute is somewhat superficial, but probably is adequate for this brief
outline.
V. Resignation. Resignations can be tricky and require some spec~il mention. To be effective,
a resignation must be in writing and be submitted to the Council. The Council must then by
JBD-195890v2
MU220-1
-9629-
resolution acknowledge the receipt and accept the resignation. That resolution also would
determine a vacancy to exist in a6cordance with the terms of that accepted resignation.
Resignations are effective upon the date of acceptance unless the resignation by its terms is to take
place at a furore date. In such case, the resignation will be effective on the future date.
Once made and accepted, the resignation cannot be withdrawn even if the effective date is in the
future.

Re: Land Acquisition Alternatives
Dear Greg:
In a recent conversation, you informed me that Mound may be interested in acquiring a
parcel of land for water plant expansion purposes. You indicated that although the actual expansion
may be several years away, there may be an opportunity to acquire one of the parcels now from a
willing seller. You have asked me to outline a number of alternatives available to the city in
purchasing the property.
A. The alternatives are as follows.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Immediate cash purchase.
Immediate purchase subject to a life estate in the seller
Immediate purchase and lease back of the property to seller
Option to purchase with the option period being as long as several years.
Purchase under contract for deed.
B. The alternatives can be evaluated from the ci .ty's standpoint as follows.
1. Alternative 1 is the cleanest in that you own the property and it is not subject
to any further interest of seller. However, for that reason, it may be undesirable for the seller
who will need to fred a new place to live. It also requires that the city come up with the
entire purchase price right away.
2. Alternative 2 is much like the first one with two exceptions: First, the seller
can stay for life. That means no need to move out. Second, the value of the life estate can
be used to offset the purchase price. The big drawback for the city is that the seller may live
beyond the date you need the property; and some sort of buy-out provision would be needed
in the instrument creating the life estate. The cost of the buy-out under these circumstances
might be high.
JBD-195036vl
MU220-4
-9631 -
Greg Skinner
April 23, 2OO 1
Page 2 of 2
3. Alternative 3 is like 2 except that the term can be stated in the instrument.
The value of the leasehold can be used to offset the purchase price. (Seller would probably
want some sort of clause that would stop the offset in the case of death etc.).
4. Alternative 4 would be a very favorable one for the city because, it could
avoid any significant financial exposure until the option had to be exercised. It could be
used in conjunction with any of the other alternatives that are mentioned in this letter. The
main drawback is that it is the least favorable to the seller, who will have no assurance that
the city will ever purchase his property. This could be softened somewhat by giving the city
a right of first refusal, or the right to exercise its option if another ~bona fide offer were
received.
5. Alternative 5 allows the city to make payments over time (up to 5 years).
The contract could also provide for the seller to have continued possession (for a stated
period), and could even have some sort of offset for continued possession such as in 2 or 3
above.
I have not attempted to suggest which of the alternatives the city should chose. Each has
some benefit, and none of them would be ill advised under the appropriate circumstances. Equally
important, you need to know what the owner might be willing to accept; and you should also have
some feeling for the timing of the project and the availability of other necessary lands.
Respectfully yours,

Gino,
My name is Jonathan Paul and I live @ 4679 Wilshire Boulevard in Mound. I am
writing you this letter per our conversation at the 10-23~-01 City Council meeting
regarding my sewer backup on April 22, 2001.
City staff visited my home on the subsequent Monday morning, 4-30-01. It was a
convincing site, That same day I called my insUrance company and they proceeded
to send out an adjuster to calculate my damage from the sewer backup. The date of
inspection was 5-7-01. The insurance estimate is currently in Greg Skinner's
possession. I have also submitted to Greg Skinner the estimate for and receipt paid
to Westonka Mechanical for the check valve installation.
I had this check valve installed after participating in the 7-24-01 City Council meeting
where I and other Mound citizens expressed concern over this issue re-occuring in the
future. To help out the Citizens of Mound, the Council passed the following motion:
MOTION by Meisel, seconded by Anderson that the City reimburse residents 50% of
their cost to install check valves based on the estimates on file with the City and upon
presentation of receipts for said installation. Ayes: Meisel, Hanus, Anderson. Nayes:
Meyer. Motion carried." (Mound City Council Minutes - July 24, 2001)
I paid for a City Permit to complete the work necessary for the installation of the check
valve, i had the work inspected by the City upon completion. I feel that I have
adhered to the letter of the law pertaining to the 50% reimbursement motion. Please
consider my case and let me know what ! can provide if further information is needed.
My work number is (763) 764-2257. Home is (952) 472-8047. Thanks for your help.

however, the applicant would also like the Board to consider the second site plan because he and his wife
prefer it.
McMillan asked if the abutting property owner to the north was aware of the proposed site plan that was
preferred by the applicant, especially since it appears to affect them more..
Nybeck stated that the abutting property to the north was provided a copy of the draft Findings of Fact and
Order, including both alternative site plans. He added that the Board should keep in mind that the dock
installed by the abutting property owner to the north does not comply with Code for dock length
requirements.
Babcock questioned whether the second site plan would require the Distdct to renotify the abutting property
owner to the south or if the previous public notice and public hearing would suffice since the variances would
essentially be the same other than the relocation of docking and boat storage,
LeFevere stated that he believed the District would not need to renotify the residents in the area because the
public hearing notice included two variances from Code that were determined by the Board to not be needed,
including side setbacks and an adjusted dock use area. He noted that the draft Order prepared was for a
straight dock that was 96' long with no "Ls" or "Ts", adding that this could be amended by the Board.
Babcock stated that he would not be opposed to adding "Ls" or "Ts" to the approved site plan, provided it
does not obstruct navigation within the applicants authorized dock use area.
Foster asked if there was a dimension on the "L" on the proposed site plans.
Mr. Gregory Fall, 3036 Island View Drive, stated that the "L" is an eight-foot dock section.
Foster asked Babcock if he was comfortable with the second site plan since he made the original motion to
approve the variance application at the previous Board meeting.
Babcock stated that he was comfortable with either site plan, as long as the "L" section does not require the
applicant to navigate over the side site line of the abutting property owner.

Foster suggested adding language that would prohibit the length of the "L" section to not exceed eight feet.
LeFevere stated that he believed some minor wording changes could be made to the draft Findings and
considered by the Board this evening. These wording changes would include: 1) deleting the word "south"
and adding the word "north" in condition one, and 2) amending condition two to allow only "Ls" or "Ts', except
as shown on Attachment One.
MOTION: Babcock moved, Knudsen seconded to approve the Findings of Fact and Order for a dock length
variance at the Gregory Fall residence, subject to the language changes recommended by
LeFevere in conditions one and two, and subject to adding an eight dimension on the approved
site plan for the "L" or "T" dock section.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously,
Mr. John Aquilina, 3030 Island View Ddve, stated that he was the abutting property owner to the north. He
asked for clarification regarding the status of his dock from his property.
Nybeck stated that the dock installed in 2001 was approximately 100' from the 929.4' NGVD shoreline at the
site that has approximately 60' of shoreline. This exceeds what Code allows and the resident either needs to
bring the dock in compliance with Code by reducing its length or submit an application for variance from
Code.
The consensus of the Board was that Mr. Aquilina should contact the office to discuss his altematives with
staff.

LAKE USE & RECREATION
A. Ordinance Amendment, First reading of an ordinance prohibiting the use of.motorized watercraft on certain
parts of Lake Minnetonka; adding new Section 1.02, Subd. 28 and new Section 3.021.
Foster introduced the agenda item by stating that it was tabled atthe 9/12/01 Regular Meeting at the request
from a member of the public. He asked for comments from staff.
Nybeck made the following comments:
· At the 9/12/01 Regular Meeting, the Board requested follow-up from staff on three related issues to
the proposed ordinance amendment. This included: 1) a map identifying the locations of Six Mile,
Painter's, and.Long.Lake Creeks, 2) the 929.4' NGVD contours within Six Mile, Painter's, and Long
Lake Creeks, and 3) the number of properties that would affected by this ordinance amendment if it is
adopted by the District.
· He reviewed a map of Lake Minnetonka that highlighted the locations of Six Mile; Painter's, and Long
Lake Creeks. The number of affected properties if this ordinance amendment is adopted by the
District would be approximately 12 in Long Lake Creek that currently cannot navigate to Tanager
Lake because of the clearance of the railroad trestle, zero in Painter's Creekl ~and a couple in Six Mile
Creek,

· The 929.4, NGVD contours could probably be delineated by signage in Long Lake and Painter's
Creeks, and the use of buoys in Six Mile Creek. Staff needs further time to work on identifying the
929.4' NGVD contours within these creeks.
· Staff has worked with Hennepin County staff members using their GPS system to identify latitude and
longitude coordinates that generally identify the mouth of Six Mile Creek into Lake IMinnetonka.
Foster provided some additional background on this agenda item. There has been a concern of a number of
Board members that Halsteads Bay has probably the poorest water quality on Lake Minnetonka'with a
significant amount of phosphorous loading. A subcommittee was established bythe Board to evaluate water
quality issues on tributaries that run into Lake Minnetonka and adjacent wetlands. He believed the Board is
mainly concerned with prop dredging in the identified tributaries and the environmental impacts that it would
have on Lake Minnetonka. He believed a prohibition on motorized watercraft in these areas would not be a
large impediment to use of the lake since these areas currently are used primarily by canoes, kayaks, and
paddles boats. He asked for other comments from the Board prior to receiving input from the public.
Babcock reminded that there is a sentiment from some Board members to protect wetlands from over
storage of boats. He reminded the Board of the Code provision that takes into consideration meandering
wetlands.
Wert reminded the Board that the tributaries leading into Lake Minnetonka and the adjacent wetlands
identified by the Task Force were bifurcated. The primary focus of the Board at this time is to deal with the
tributaries, noting that there might be further work for Task Force at a later time on the adjacent wetlands.
Seuntjens stated that he had concern with restrictions imposed by the adoption of the proposed ordinance
amendment, especially those affected existing properties in Six Mile Creek that may have changed hands
and could decrease property values. He suggested the Board might want to consider Protecting the rights of
these properties, possibly through grandfathering.
Wert stated for existing properties that might be affected by adoption of the ordinance amendment, a
question for Board to consider is that these properties may have had the dght but not the use. They currently
would have difficulty accessing Lake Minnetonka with a larger watercraft because that would require driving
through shallow water and mucky conditions.
Babcock questioned whether it would be possible to grandfather in one watercraft for each affected property
that existed before a specific date. ,
Knudsen stated that he intends to contact the two property owners that would be affected by the adoption of
this ordinance amendment to get their feedback, He alSo intended to bring the Minnetrista City Council up to
date on what the Board is currently considering and to get their feedback.
Babcock asked if the buoy area .that delineates the 929.4 'NGVD contour or the latitude and longitude
delineated with buoys would take precedent from an enforcement standpoint.
LeFevere stated that he believed intent of the ordinance amendment is that the buoyed area would prevail.
similar to the establishment of a quiet waters area on the lake. The proposed ordinance amendment has
identified three areas of the lake that use of motorboats Would be prohibited as delineated by use of buoys or
signs.

Foster ncogniZed that there were no further comments from the Board and he entertained comments from
the pUblic on the draft ordinance amendment.
Mr. Jim Blakeway stated that he lived on Halsteads Bay in the'aha near Six Mile Creek. The water depths in
Six Mile Creek are very shallow and the only type of watercraft that can currently use Six rVlile Creek are
personal watercraft. The two affected property ownecS can only get watercraft to Lake Minnetonka using Six
Mile Creek on (~ertain years for only part of the season. He belieVed they should not traverse Six Mile Creek
to get to Lake Minnetonka becauSe the objective should be to protect the wetland, habitat, and water quality
of Halsteads Bay.
Mr, Jim
Steubner, owner and developer of Upland Farms, made the following comments.
· He thanked the BOard for tabling the first reading of the proposed Ordinance amendment at the last
Board meeting.
· Upland Farms is a 171 acre equestrian community on Highway 7 in the City of Minnetdsta. He
updated progress in the development and noted that it is getting national recognition for the City of
Minnetrista.
· When he originally purchased the property to develop, he did not realize that Six Mile Creek existed
because of the difficulty of locating the mouth into Halsteads Bay from the lake. The concept of
stOring boats from the property came up when a few prospective buyers inquind regarding the use of
Six Mile Creek for the use of a dock and storage of a watercraft. A contact was made with the MN
DNR and theysupported the idea as long as the docks are clustered and seasonal. A subsequent
application Was submitted to the MN DNR for these purposes.
A concern that curnnt and future owners have is whether they can store a boat on Six Mile Creek.
Then are 20'pages of restrictions in the covenants for the harbor area, including a maximum boat
length of 20'. He stated that there currently are docks on Six Mile Creek with boats that navigate it.
· Originally, the application submitted to the MN DNR included the removal dams of cattails that formed
in recent years. He noted that the higher water levels this past spring caused by above avenge
pncipitation washed these areas Out. His intent haS never been to dndge Six Mile Creek to Lake
UinnetOnka for navigational purposes.
· He questioned the purpose of the proposed ordinance amendment and stated that he did not fully
understand it. Frank Svoboda and Tim HaSsett were in attendance to ask questions to further
understand the proposed ordinance amendment and to address any questions the Board had.
Mr. Frank Svoboda stated that he would be addnss ng env ronmental questions relating to the proposed
ordinance amendment. He made thb' following comments:
· He indicated that he had 13 questions and six comments on the proposed ordinance amendment,
noting that he would summarize them to allow the Board to determine how to allow him to present
these questions for clarification .
· He wa~ accustomed to ordinanCe amendments with a preamble statement that states this is the
purpose of thb~ o~inanCe and this S what the Organization is trying to ,accOmplish. Because a
preamble statement W~S missing inth~ proP~sed'Ordinance a~endnient' he Could not determine the
purpose of the ordinance.
· He prOvided his background on familiarity with environmental issues on Halsteads Bay. In the early
1990's, he prepared the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the channel that was
dndged at the Cadson development in Halsteads Bay. In the mid 1980's, he represented the City of
Minnetrista when they objected to the location of the public access at Kings Point Road. He stated
-9648-
Lake IRinnetonka Conservation District
Regular l~oard IVieet%ng
October 10, 200'1
Page 6
that he has extensive experience of phosphorous loading and re-suspension of sediments on
Halsteads Bay, and how this can be impacted by boat speed and draft. He requested that he be
copied on studies or reports that would pertain to phosphorous loading and re-suspension of
sediments in the Six Mile Creek area.
lie addressed the benchmark, of §2§.4' N(;;VD and indicated that he would like to fully understand
what datum reference the District. is using so that there is a common definition. He questioned
whether the buoys to be placed at the 929.4' elevation wou d be at a hYdrologic elevation or a ground
contour elevat on. He stated that he would like to better understand how far this elevation goes up
from the mouth of Six Mile Creek, noting it could possibly goes as far as Mud Lake because it has a
ground contour of 929.31',
o Distdct staff has reported that watercraft movement on the west side of County Road 110 on Painter's
Creek and the north side of the railroad trestle on Long Lake Creek as being limited. He has
conducted research of channels around the lake and they questioned why the preposed ordinance
amendment would not apply to them if they have the same physical and environmental characteristics
as Six Mile Creek, He believed this might indicate that the proposed ordinance amendment is
singling out the Upland Farms project.
· He believed this summarized the questions and comments he had and he encouraged suggestions
from the Board on what is the best means to respond to them, possib y threugh a letter.
Foster stated that he believed responding to these questions and comments through a letter might be
appropriate. He pointed out that a Section of the Code outlines a statement of purpose for the District. He
believed there is a distinction between the creeks identified in the proposed ordinance amendment and the
channels referenced by Svoboda because there is flow from the tributaries into Lake Uinnetonka that create
environmental concerns, He asked for feedback from LeFevere on the submittal of a letter from Svoboda
that would summarize his questions and comments.
LeFevere questioned whether the submittal of questions and corresponding answers is the best way for the
DistriCt to handle this. The proposed ordinance amendment is a legislative act and is not subject to cross
examination. For an ordinanCe amendment to be legally defensible, the District should demonstrate it has
legitimate public purposes. He questioned whether there is a need to have a preamble or statement of
purpose in the proposed ordinance amend ment because that is usually reserved for controversial ordinance
amendments when it is determined that it would be helPful, He believed it is helpful for the Board to get the
issues raised by Svoboda on the table to address them prior to the potential adoption of an ordinance
amendment, although the Board is not subject to cross-examination,
Babcock asked whether the 929.31' lake elevation of Mud Lake was NGVD.
SvOboda stated that he was unsure.
Babcock stated that assuming the lake elevation of Mud Lake is correct and that Lake Minnetonka has an
ordinary high water mark of 929,4' NGVD, he questioned whether there would be a point on Six Mile Creek
that has a lake elevation higher than either Lake Uinnetonka or Mud Lake,
Svoboda stated that the MN DNR has established an ordinary high water mark of 930.6' NGVD on Six Mile
Creek at the. point of the Upland Farms development. This elevation coUld vary because the gradient of the
creek rises when you go up stream.
-9649-

Babcock stated that he believed it would be beneficial for discussion purposes to use the same scale,
gradient, or datum when discussing the elevations of the affected water bodies identified in the proposed
ordinance amendment.
Svoboda stated that he concurred with Babcock.
Babcock stated that it might be appropriate to take the 929,4' NGVD reference in the proposed ordinance
amendment and clearly specify the points of delineation.
LeFevere stated that could be done provided the upstream point of delineation is below the 929.4' NGVD.
He added the elevation referenced in the ordinance amendment is a ground contour elevation, not a
hydrologic elevation.
Seuntjens asked how far upstream is the Upland Farm development from Halsteads Bay.
Svoboda stated that he was unsure of the exact distance; however, he estimated that it is approximately one
mile to a mile and. half upstream from Halsteads Bay.
McMillan asked for an assessment of the navigability of Six Mile Creek for powerboats from ice out to the
time the lake freezes,
Svoboda stated that is a function of water depth because of fluctuation within a season. Ideally they would
like a water depth of four feet in Six Mile Creek for navigational purposes, similar to the standards used in the
channel dredged in the Carlson property on Halsteads Bay.
McMillan asked whether this could be attained on a consistent basis without dredging.
Svoboda stated that it would be difficult because that was a primary reason a dredging permit application
was made and secured at the Carlson property for the channel that was dredged in the 1990's. The
fundamental questioh there was that dparian rights had been established with the previous dredging of that
channel that required a maintenance dredge.
Babcock stated that oneof the questions the Board has is how sustainable is Six Mile Creek without
dredging. It was blocked earlier this year and that could occur in the futura. He questiOned whether the
dredging of the harbor prOject at the Upland Farms project is viable becaUSe the channel could be blocked in
the future and require dredging.
McMillan stated that she was concemed with the development being sold as lake access; however, it
probably would be not consistent withOut mechanical dredging.. She believed one of the pdmary reasons for
the draft ordinance amendment iS'to'maintain these natural areas and to not make them into something that
they are nOt currently,
Babcock asked what type of sediment exists at the bottom of Six Mile Creek.
Svoboda stated that channel bottom examples have not been taken; however, he believed it would faidy soft,
water-saturated peat soils.

Ambrose asked Svoboda if he believed the dredging of the proposed harbor at the development gives them
riparian rights.
Svoboda stated that he believed that question would be more appropriate for Steubner or the legal
representation present at the meeting.
Steubner re-stated that there is no intention to dredge Six Mile Creek. To the best of his knowledge, the
Corps of Engineers has mechanically dredged it only once in the 1940's. He believed the bottom of Six Mile
Creek is similar to the bottom of Halsteads Bay in the area. Up until the 1950's or 1960's, the immediate
area was primarily farms until the MN DNR raised the exit point for water from Lake Minnetonka on the east
end of Grays Bay that flooded these farms. The Upland Farms development is very pristine and the last
thing they want to do is disturb it.
Mr. Tim Hassett, legal representation for Steubner, made the following comments:
· An open question relating to the proposed ordinance amendment is how far up Six Mile Creek is the
929.4' NGVD contour line.
· Further explanation needs to be cladfied on the concerns of the District regarding the proposed
ordinance amendment.
· The Six Mile Creek area is outside of the jurisdiction of the District.
· He stated that they would take into consideration the concems raised by the Board and come back
with something that would address these concems and not require further restrictions on the Upland
Farms development.
· He believed that the proposed ordinance amendment would not apply to either Long Lake or Painter's
Creeks because of the existing culvert at County Road' 110 or the railroad trestle.
Babcock stated that he believed there is a need for regUlations in those creeks because culverts and bddges
could disappear in the future because they are man-made barriers.
Hassett concluded that it appeared to him that the upland Farms development is being singled out and he
thanked the Board for their comments and allowing him to comment.
Mr. Edc Evenson, Distdct Administrator for the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.(MCWD), supported the
Board getting out in front of the isSue. Related issues including use of ripadan and property.rights, economic
developmentl and a ,number of other sensitive isSues have been discussed by'the Board. The MCWD is
concemed with water quality on HalSteads Bay and fUture work is being diSc~Jssed upstream from all the
creeks highlighted in the proposed ordinance amendment. The MCWD has taken a preliminary look at
impacts from the proposed harbor project at Upland Farms on water quality, comparing them to sites that
have been done'in Florida and Wisconsin AlthOugh these studies conducted were on lakes rather than
creeks, Water quality is potentially eSt mated to decrea~.e at 30% in SiX Miie creek and posSibly 1.0% in
Halsteads Bay, Henoted that these figures are Preliminary and that he was glad to hear the developer
indicate that dredging is not planned in Six Mile Creek. He stated that the dredging previously conducted in
Six Mile Creek classifies it as a ditch and that ditch law would apply to it. He concluded that he supported
,the proposed ordinance amendment indicating that it would be good for Lake Minnetonka on a long-term
basis.
Babcock re-stated his concem with approving a dredgin~l permit for the harbor project because Six Mile
Creek might not be navigable for motorboats to Lake Minnetonka. He believed that this would create an
-9651 -

Page 9
expectation for the Upland Farms residents and that a condition should be placed on the dredging permit for
the harbor project addressing this. A pressure to dredge Six Mile Creek in the future could possibly be
expected because of the dredging of the harbor project. The District has received feedback in the time that
this issue has been discussed by the Board that the wetland areas in the immediate area were not back
flooded until the establishment of the Grays Bay dam. He believed this indicates that the area is below the
929.4' NGVD contour and that the Distdct has some jurisdiction. He stated that he would like some feedback
from the MCWD on the state of the land before and after the establishment of the Grays Bay dam.
Evenson stated that those were good points that could possibly be looked into.
LeFevere asked Evenson if the MCWD has taken jurisdiction over the ditch laws of Six Mile Creek.
Evenson stated that they had.
Mr. John Barren, a Hennepin Parks employee, stated that he had participated on the Lake Minnetonka
Wetlands Task Force that has examined protection of the wetland areas, including those that are adjacent
and contiguous. He supported this type of an ordinance becauSe it is a great step in protecting wetland
areas around the lake that are vital to assist in long-term water quality management. Wetland areas
historically serve as a filter for incoming storm water and he expressed concern with activities that disturb
them. There is a significant amount of data available that suggests motorboat traffic in shallow water areas
less than six feet in depth cause significant re-suspension of sediments, and this increases the likelihood of
higher phosphorus levels that could flow into Lake Minnetonka. Hennepin Parks has been conducting water
quality monitoring studies on Lake Minnetonka for a number of years in conjunction with the Distdct and the
MCWD, noting that Halsteads and Jennings Bay have the poorest water quality. He concluded he believed
the Task Force work should be on-going to include how to protect the wetlands on the lake and the native
macrophyte beds.
Foster stated that based on the Board discussions, there might need to be some further adjustments of the
proposed ordinance amendment, including whether to grandfather boats from existing properties and the
delineation points of the 929.4' NGVD contour in the three creeks. He believed the first reading of the
proposed ordinance amendment could be approved at this meeting, with any changes to be made prior to
the next Board meeting. Another option for the Board to consider would include not approving first readings
and make the proper changes for Board consideration at a future meeting, He asked the Board for feedback
on how to proceed.
Weft stated that he would be in favor of a motion, taking into consideration the possibility of grandfathering
existing properties and the delineation of the 929.4' NGVD contour in the three creeks.
LeFevere questioned whether it would be practical from an enforcement standpoint for the Water Patrol to
allow some motor boats to use the creeks and not allow other motor boats that might be following dght
behind them. In the past, the Board has decided to grandfather property dghts rather than an activity, which
is the case in this situation.
MOTION: wert moved, Ambrose seconded to hold first reading, of the ordinance amendment and set second
reading for the 10/24/01 Regular Meeting, subject to further delineation of the 929,4' NGVD
contours in the three creeks
-9652-

Page 10
Ambrose stated that he was sympathetic to the need for uniform enforcement with regarding to the possibility
of grandfathering certain properties.
Knudsen stated that the grandfathering of affected properties in the creek areas are generally marginal and
that the activity on the creek could cause water quality problems that affect other properties that actually live
on the lake.
Babcock stated that if it is the desire of the Board to protect the areas identified in the proposed ordinance
amendment, the District might want to pursue as far as upstream as possible, including other jurisdictions
that could adopt a similar ordinance amendment. If this could be accomplished, this would take away the
need to delineate the 929.4' NGVD contours in Six Mile Creek.

Suerth asked Nybeck to update the Board on this project, noting that a lot of progress has been made.
Nybeck stated at the 8/22/01 Regular Meeting, the proposal was discussed and the Board made a motion
supporting it, to bdng it back to the EWU/Exotics Task Force to review the details, and to get going on the
first phase of situation analysis. A sedes of meeting have been conducted with Dick Osgood, the LMA
Executive Director, has resulted in a preliminary list of stakeholders and the creation of a situation analysis
that describes how zebra mussels could get into Lake Minnetonka and the ways to reduce that possibility.
The first meeting to assemble stakeholders to identify the issues and concerns has been scheduled for
Tuesday, 10130101, at 7 p.m. at the Gray Freshwater Center in Navarre. A Lake Minnetonka resident has
agreed to be the facilitator for the anticipated series of meeting. He asked Osgood for further comments and
to provide an overview of anticipated costs associated with these meetings.
Osgood estimated costs for these meetings are approximately $1,200. This includes limited costs per
meeting for the facilitator, room rental, and copying and postage expenses. It is estimated that there will
approximately six small group meeting in addition to the 10/30/01 initial meeting. He requested that the
District cover these expenses.
Nybeck stated the District has a $5,000 budget line for zebra mussels that could cover these expenses.
The consensus of the Board was that they were not opposed to the District picking up these expenses,
provided staff checks into alternative places to conduct future meetings with the zebra mussel stakeholder.
One possibility was to check with special density license holders that have meeting spaces approved as a
public amenity.
MOTION: Skramstad moved, McMillan seconded to authorize up to $1,200 of funds for the sedes of zebra
mussel stakeholder meetings.

ADMINISTRATION
A. staff Update on the vacant Administrative Secretary position.
NYbeCk updated the Board on this vacancy, noting that a relatively small pool of candidates was received
after it was advertised and posted. Staff screened ten candidates, with four candidates being interviewed,
five not scoring high on the screening tool, and one withdrawing themse![ from consideration. At this time,
staff is not prepared to offer the position to any of these candidates. Alternatives for the DiStrict to consider
include to re-advertise and re-post the position, fill it with a temporary employee with the possibility of hiring
this individual, and to contact the MN Department of Economic Secudty to inquire whether they have a
potential pool of candidates for the vacant Position. He complimented the efforts of current staff while the
District is searching for the right candidate for the position.

McMillan reported on the following:
· The Lord Fletchers Tent Events were not as succesS~l as they had planned due to the poor weather and
the events that occurred on September 11t~. The proceeds f~om this event that were to be donated to the
"Save the Lake" fund did not occur because they generated just enough money to offset expenses. A
possible donation to the "Save the Lake" fund might be dOnated from LOrd Fletchers out of their kindness
in the future.
· A possible pilot project to place solar lights on a limited number of buoys in 2002 is being considered by
the Advisory Committee. She stated that she had contact with Tony Brough from Hennepin County and
that he would like to address this at the December Board meeting.
· She has been working on the coordination of a speaker for the February "Save the Lake" Recognition.:~:
Banquet Dinner. Mr. Jim Augland, who has authored a book called "Picturing Lake MinnetOnka", has
expressed interest. She targeted a tentative date of 2/7/01 for the date of the Banquet Dinner.

November 6, Election Day, is coming up quickly. Here's a primer on the issues and voting
procedures:
Issue #1
School Board Election

Issue #2
Operating Levy
The Westonka School District is asking voters to approve additional operating funds to support
the day-to-day costs of running the schools. The money is needed to overcome a deficit
caused by increases in regular, ongoing operating expenses not covered by the amount of
money the school district receives from the state.
More information about the levy can be found on the school district Web site,
http://www.westonka.k12.mn.us.
--How to vote--
To vote in person:
Simply go to your assigned polling place on Election Day. All voters, except for those in the
City of Independence, will vote at the combined polling place at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church,
5218 Bartlett Boulevard, Mound, between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.
To vote by absentee ballot:
Come to the Superintendent's office, second floor of Shirley Hills Primary School, 2450
Wilshire Boulevard, Mound, during regular office hours (7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday) to complete the ballot application and vote by absentee ballot at the same time. On
Monday, November 5, the office hours will extend to 5 p.m.
Need to register to vote on November 6?
Minnesota state law allows you to register at your polling place. You will need to bring proof of
your identity and the address where you are living. You may bring one of the following:
* A current Minnesota driver license, learner permit or identification card (or receipt for a new
one) with your address
* One of the above with a former address and a utility bill*
* A U.S. passport or military ID card and a utility bill*
* a "Notice of Ineffective Registration" card mailed to you by your county auditor (if you turned
in a registration card late)
* someone who is registered in the precinct where you live to vouch for you at the polling place
Students can also use one of these for proof:
* Student photo ID, registration or fee statement with your current address
* Student photo ID with utility bill*
* Student photo ID if you are on a student housing list on file at the polling place
*Note: The utility bill must have your name, current address and be due within 30 days of the
election. Utility bills may be fore electric, gas, water, solid waste, sewer, telephone, or cable
TV.
If you're registered and move within the same precinct, you can simply do an address change
at the polling place.
**Operating Levy Q&A**
-9658- 10/29/2001

The following question was sent to welisten@westonka.k12.mn.us last week:
Q. What happened to the money from the sale of the old community center? VVhy aren't those
funds being used to offset the budget cuts from the state?
The money from the sale of the downtown property will be used to replace the school district
uses of that property. School districts are prohibited, by law, from using building-related funds
to pay for day-to-day operations. The money earned from the sale of the former community
center must be used to replace the school district uses of that site: work space for about 30
employees and outdoor fields.
It's a good question, though. If the law would allow use of those funds, the school district would
have a short-term (a few years) solution to its projected deficits. In the long term, however, it
would do nothing to solve two totally different, yet pressing, problems: returning temporary
office space to classroom use in 3 school buildings, and developing suitable outdoor field
facilities for student and community use.
So, according to what the law allows and what the needs are, the funds from the sale of that
building will be used to build outdoor field facilities and office space near the high school.
FOCUS TOPIC
**You Can Monitor Progress on Maintenance/Technology Bond Projects**
The district Web site http://www.westonka.k12.mn.us shows a new set of updates on the
maintenance and technology projects being financed through last spring's bond referendum.
You can check on the overall status of bond projects for the district as well as for individual
school buildings. If you'd like detailed information on the problem, the solution, updated
descriptions, and before/after photos, click on the link for any of the individual projects.
The Web site is updated as projects progress so that residents and taxpayers can see how the
bond money is being spent, and how the projects are coming along.
Questions about the bond projects are welcome at any time. If you have a question, you can
send a message to welisten@westonka.k12.mn.us, or call the District Feedback Line at
952.491.8260 to leave your name, question and telephone number, and a district staff member
will call you back promptly.

Policy Adoption Meeting Set for November I
Several New Issues up for Member Discussion
AMM will hold its annual Policy Adop-
tion Meeting on Thursday, November 1
in the St. Croix Room of the League of
Minnesota Cities Building. A reception
will be held at 5:00 p.m. followed by the
business meeting at 5:45 p.m, Both staff
and elected officials from all member cit-
ies are encouraged to attend.
However, it remains unclear whether such
an effort will be undertaken dudng the
2002 session. Therefore, members are
being asked to consider a new, but fairly
general, LGA policy which calls for a for-
mula that is simpler and easier to under-
stand and that distributes at least a por-
tion of the funds on a per capita basis,
Copies of the draft policies to be voted
on have been mailed to ail managers/
administrators, mayors and council-
members. They are also available online
www.amm145.org.
members will be asked to reaffirm
many long-standing AMM policy posi-
tions, those participating in the Policy
Adoption Meeting will be asked to con-
sider several new policies as well.
Revenue and Taxation
The major policy issue facing AMM this
year in the area of revenue and taxation
is the future of Local Government Aid.
During the latter parts of the 2001 legis-
[afire session there was soma talk of an
overhaul of the LGA formula, and $14
million was set aside for this purpose.

Transportation
When it comes to transportation issues,
members will be asked to vote on a trans-
portation funding policy that includes new
language supporting a metropolitan area
referendum to increase the saJes tax in
order to fund major highway and transit
needs in the seven-county area. Also up
for consideration is a policy seeking au-
thorization for cities to establish road
access fees for new development and
AMM's continued support of so-called
"photo-cop" legislation.
Members will be asked to weigh in on
two new transportation policies, as well.
The first calls for a state-funded local road
improvement program to assist cities with
populations under 5,000, who are ineli-
gible for MSA funds, The second ex-
presses AMM's support for modification
of the County State Aid Highway (CSAH)
distribution formula to more fairly distrib-
ute the funds between the metro ama and
Greater Minnesota.
Housing & Economic Day,
In the area of housing and economic de-
velopment, the issues of inclusionary
housing and funding for development/re-
devetopment are at the top of the list. The
draft policies to be voted on Nov. 1 seek
explicit authority for individual cities to
adopt their own [nclusionary housing or-

dinances while opposing passage of a
mandator7 inctusionary housing law, Fol-
lowing the major blow dealt to tax incre-
ment financing (TIF) during the 2001 ses-
sion, AMM members are being asked to
consider a policy calling for several
changes to the special deficit authority
and grant program created to help cover
shortfalls, Among the changes sought
are an extension of the grant program to
cover inter-fund loans and some pay-as-
you-go notes,
Metropolitan Agencies
On a topic that has received some media
coverage in recent weeks, AMM mem-
bars will also be asked to vote on a policy
supporting a statutory ban on the sale of
lawn fertilizers containing phosphorus,
which would hetp with enforcement of the
ordinances numerous AMM cities have
adopted banning the application of these
products.
In addition to these legislative policies,
members will also be asked to vote on
several policies related to the Metropoli-
tan Council, The draft metropolitan agen-
cies policies include a new policy on
Natural Resource Protemion, in response
to the Council's plans to complete a Natu-
ral Resources Inventory for the seven-
county area, as well as a revised growth
management policy to direct our input on

f t£e
of law enforcement changes
By Greg Gerber
heriff Andy Taylor of
Mayberry could have been a
prophet. Back in the 1960s,
the fictional, soft-spoken
North Carolina lawman's approach to
keeping the peace would today form the
foundation of community policing.
The face of law enforcement is
changing from report-whting investiga-
tors who respond to emergencies and
catch criminals to multi-faceted neigh-
borhood workers tasked with affecting
quality-of-life issues in the communities
they serve.
Unlike Andy Taylor, today's police
officers must be part cop, part social
worker, part paramedic, part teacher,
part computer technician, part pastor,
part parent and part politician.
Will Annarino should know. As
chief of police in Asheville, North
40 Law Enforcement Technology · October
Carolina, his city is located a few hours
from Mt. Airy, the hometown of Andy
Griffith and village upon which
Mayberry was based.
When Asheville embraced commu-
nity policing in 1989, the first thing
needed was an attitude adjustment with-
in the department and the city.
"We started by changing what we
expected from recruits," Annarino
explains. "We needed to hire people
who had an understanding of the com-
plexity of society and the unique chal-
lenges that would have to be met by
officers on the front line."
The department began requiring a
minimum of a two-year degree for all
candidates. To help current staff expand
their education, the department worked
with a local tech school to offer in-
house courses during the day. A few
2001 · www.law-enforcement.com
p am
officers now have master's degrees or
are nearing completion of them.
"Without demeaning officers who
didn't have a degree, we explained that
education was a must considering the
way our society is going and the chal-
lenges police officers face. We wanted
officers with good problem-solving
skills, high ethics, an ability to facilitate
meetings, good interpersonal relation-
ship skills and the ability to communi-
cate to a diverse population."
The downfall to Asheville's
approach is that officers became hot
commodities for other departments
which specifically targeted Annarino's
talented crew for recruitment.
The department trained each officer
to facilitate meetings, keep discussion
moving in the right direction and ensure
that opinion is shared by everyone.

"The last thing we wanted was someone
to go to city hall with a concern they
originally brought to us because they
didn't know where else to turn,"
Annarino says. "When that happens,
everyone gets defensive and nothing
gets accomplished."
As much as the department wanted
citizens to approach officers anytime
they had a concern, Annarino didn't
want residents to become lazy and think
police would handle everything. So he
created community msoume centers in
specific neighborhoods.
This required the cooperation of a
many city departments and cooperation
from the community to staff and fund
the centers.
"Basically, we told residents, if you
put it together and invite us in, we'll
work out of the center," he explains.
"We'd remind them the center would
only be as successful as the community
around it. Crime is not a police prob-
lem, it's a community problem."
Staffed by volunteers, the centers
became a hub for the entire neighbor-
hood. The police department staffed
offices at the center to the point they
became like precincts with supervisors
even conducting roll calls.
"Not many officers actually come to
the police department anymore. It's sort
of a lonely place," Annarino says.
"Officers respond to the centers, pick up
their cars and go to work."
The department created permanent
shifts for officers to ensure they
addressed problems in their areas
instead of leaving it for others to worry
about later. "Our officers were initially
geared toward call response. They
didn't know if they would be working
in that neighborhood the next night of if
they would be there again anytime
soon," Annarino says. "Now officers
know if them is a problem today, it will
be a problem tomorrow unless they take
action. They can't hide from it any
more. We hold them accountable for
u~esolved problems in their areas."
Community resource officers
streamline communication and coordi-
nate activity among other officers. If a
detective or a youth specialist is needed
to address a problem, resource officers
handle the scheduling.
Making community policing a suc-
cess required some attitude changes
among residents and city officials as
well. "Too many people were expecting
officers to simply react to calls. They
were telling us they wanted profession-
al, educated problem-solvers working
on the force, yet they would demean the
position by making officers respond to
calls and write reports that any high
school sophomore could do," Annarino
says. "Our officers are not record clerks
and they are not report-takers. Anyone
can do that type of work after a week of
training.
"At the heart of
community policing
is the belief that
meaningful change
can occur when law
enforcement
agencies empower
officers. ~'
-- Chief Raymond Rose,
Mundelein (Illinois) Police Department
"We call our officers professionals,
but we do them a disservice by not
developing them into professionals," he
adds. "If we were going to treat officers
as professionals, give them new respon-
sibilities, increase educational require-
ments and raise the standard of conduct,
we must pay them like professionals."
Annarino received excellent cooper-
ation from his city manager and other
departments to develop a more proac-
tive approach to problem solving. The
departments developed a community
oriented government team, or COG,
symbolic of the forces needed to turn
the wheels of bureaucracy.
COG teams consist of people from
each city department and report directly
to the assistant city manager. The 40
team members join with 20 neighbor-
hood residents to actually walk the
streets and identify problems. Then the
appropriate city agency is called into
action to resolve the problem or propose
a solution.
"We used to listen to people com-
plain about certain issues, but our hands
were often tied because we didn't have
authority to take care of bottom line ser-
vices that weren't being met," Annarino
says. "We're taking the concept of com-
munity policing and service centers to
the next step. It will take gradual
change to gain acceptance in the com-
munity, but we made a long-term com-
mitment and are willing to see it
through."
Focus on decentralization
The key to community policing lies
in decentralization, according to Chief
Carlos Leon of the E1 Paso (Texas)
Police Department. The department
began decentralizing its operations a
decade ago when it established five
regional command centers.
"Each of the regions operates like a
mini police department and the com-
mander serves like a chief," Leon says.
"He has his own undercover, traffic and
patrol officers as well as a team of
detectives. The commanders have full
control over the own resources."
Budgets are set by the chief's office,
but commanders have the ability to
determine how resources are allocated
to meet the most pressing needs of their
regions. Commanders share resources
when temporary boosts in staffing are
needed.
Each region also established its own
10-member citizens advisory board
which encourages residents and busi-
ness owners to present their views
directly to the commanders.
"We want the citizens advisory
board to tell us what we are doing right
and wrong and how to improve ser-
vice,'' Leon says. "We don't necessarily
want friends of the police on the board.
We want honest and sincere input."
The citizens advisory board is not
.just a vehicle for pointing fingers at the
police or griping about problems in a
particular neighborhood. Leon says he
expects board members to step up and
identify ways to solve problems as a
team, which includes government, peo-
ple and businesses. Leon developed his
own advisory board to provide input on
the effort of community policing
throughout the city.
_'~'~_~nforcement.como October 2001. Law Enforcement Technology 41
Even with the input of community
residents in each region, problems
develop that require a more narrow
approach to community policing. In the
fall of 1998, the department was one of
18 cities nationwide to receive a
grant under the COPS Distressed
Neighborhoods Pilot Program to create
a community action team. Consisting of
six officers and a sergeant, the team
concentrates its efforts for up to n"
months in specific neighborhoods
high levels of economic distress or
urban decay and crime activity. The
team also works to improve conditions
in areas experiencing a high incidence
or crime or lacking neighborhood pride
and community spirit.
"Team members address a variety of
issues from crime to quality of life,"
Leon says. "They have daily and week-
ly meetings with community members
and pay personal visits to homes and
businesses as well as address communi-
ty groups."
The first thing the CAT team does is
meet with concerned citizens to set pri-
orities and determine which issues are
most pressing, whether it's graffiti
removal or cleaning up a comer known
for drug sales.
"The primary mission of the team is
to promote individual responsibility and
community commitment," Leon
Bond, eat your heart out.

Mound Police Chief
Len Harrell chats with
Bruce Dodds,
the local True Value
hardware store. Harnell
says maintaining close
relationships with area
business owners is
essential for
developing support of
community policing
initiatives. Business
owners are also
frequent contributors
to the department's
non-profit crime fund,
which provides money
to support various
crime prevention
projects.
explains· "Rather than just calling the
police and expecting action, we assist
neighborhood residents in cleaning up
area and teaching them to maintain
; the team leaves."
The police department simply pro-
vides extra resources to get the ball
rolling. For example, CAT officers will
help residents develop a neighborhood
watch and business watch programs.
They'll provide training to develop
emerging community leaders. They'll
help restore neighborhood pride and a
sense of safe~ by cleaning streets and
parks and removing graffiti.
"We stay as long as it takes to get
things moving and ensure the initial
problems have been addressed," Leon
says. "When we leave that neighbor-
hood, we leave it in good hands."
Make friends and money
Until 1982, Mound, Minnesota, was
best known as the home of Tonka Toys.
Today the city of 9,700 faces problems
found in many larger cities, thanks to its
location on Lake Minnetonka, which is
the favorite play area of many of the
Twin Cities' well-to-do people.
I"Our biggest problems are socioeco-
mic because we have rich people
commingling with poor people. It cre-
ates a lot of stress," says Chief Len
Harrell.
Yet, the day-to-day stress is often
easier to handle than the stress Harrell
encountered when announcing the
department would embrace community
policing in the late '80s. The initially
lukewarm reception turned to near
hatred when officers leamed they would
go door-to-door to introduce themselves
to residents and risk being evaluated
after every contact.
"The officers hated it. They were
convinced they would receive nothing
but negative comments," Harrell says.
"But, the opposite occurred."
Each week, the office secretary
scncts a comment card to randoml,
selected people who had contact with
the police from traffic stops and acci-
dent investigations to witness state-
ments and arrests. Besides giving peo-
ple a chance to offer their own com-
ments, the cards ask them to rate offi-
cers on things like response time, cour-
tesy, professionalism, thoroughness and
case disposition.
Officers are ranked on a scale of zero
to four -- from poor to excellent. After
sending out 400 cards per year and get-
ting 20 percent returned, the average for
the entire department is 3.64.
"We send an annual report to the city
council and let them see how their vot-
ers are grading our officers," Harrell
says. "It's helped us quite a bit."
Five years ago, the department
launched an ambitious project in which
44 Law Enforcement Technology. October 2001 ' www.law-enforcer-9665-
each of the 12 officers visited 300 resi-
c,:nces and businesses. Their purpose
was to ask two questions: Is there any-
thing going on in the neighborhood that
we need to be aware of and is there any-
thing we can do to become a better
department?
"There was no form to fill out,"
Harrell notes. "I wanted it to be a dialog
uith the officers. if they found a prob-
lem, they prepared a memo to the
sergeant who ensured proper follow-
The department still goes door-to-
door to dialog with citizens. But
because of the time the project requires,
it's done every other year.
Harrell wants officers to be profes-
sional and committed to the communi-
ty. In fact, they can increase their
salaries up to 7 percent with certain
initiatives.
Officers who live in the city receive
a I 1/2-percent bonus every month. If
they complete a fitness evaluation twice
a year, they receive another 1 1/2-
percent increase. If they get four-year
college degrees, their salary jumps
2 percent.
Officers can earn a 2-percent bonus
by completing a SARA (scanning,
assessment, response and analysis) pro-
ject. Officers must look at a problem,
get community input, develop a collec-
tive response and evaluate how it was
solved or what additional xvork is need-
ed to take it to the next level.
Several officers have embarked
upon aggressive projects. Sgt. John
McKinley created a citizens academy
that runs twice a year. A group of citi-
zelts meets two hours every week
where they learn what it takes to be a
police officer. Participants aid the fire
department with a mass casualty exer-
cise. They watch as someone drinks
and tries to complete a DWI test. They
also learn how officers perform felony
ar':,:sts and high-risk traffic stops. They
even role-play domestic situations and
try their hands on the range with a
"shoot, don't shoot" exercise.
"After completing the academy, they
have a much better feel for what it takes
to be a police officer," Harrell says. "We
have taken some of our biggest critics
)Ctober ::001 · Law Enforcement Technology 45
FOR
-- those who really think they know
what police work is like -- and turned
them into tremendous supporters."
To celebrate completing the course,
participants enjoy a banquet and receive
a golf shirt -- all paid for by the depart-
ment's crime fund.
The crime fund itself is an example
of what happens when departments
embrace community policing. Realizing
they didn't have enough money to do

which raised $80,000 for the fur
10 years.
The department generated enough
contributions this year to add a school
resource officer at the middle school. A
K-9 officer was added by creating a
PowerPoint presentation and showing it
to local service clubs. Other examples of
community policing include:
.. · DARE gym nights where officers
chaperone 2 1/2 hours of basket-
ball swimming and a pizza party.
· Kids vs. cops basketball organized
to reduce juvenile vandalism.
· Jaycees bike safety rodeo.
· Chaplaincy program to support
police officers and their families.
· Christmas program coordinated by
the police reserve to donate girls to
needy families..
· Westonkta Family Collaborative
to find resources for families at
need and to help kids at-risk.
· Juvenile conferencing for first-
time offenders to meet with vic-
tims to determine proper restJ~
tion.
· Senior TRIAD program which
meets with senior citizens to
answer questions and calm their
fears.
Find, train citizen leaders
"Community" takes on a different
meaning in Fremont, California. The
city of 208,000 is the 12th lamesi in
Califbrnia by populaliol~. I~ut II~'~ sixth
largest based on landmass with more
than 100 square miles encompassing its
borders. Plus police officers there must
contend with citizens speaking 100 dif-
ferent languages.
Chief Craig Steckler was up to the
challenge in 1982 when he took over
the department and starting looking for
a better way to get things done. That
included changing some .jobs to civilian
positions once held by uniformed offi-
cers. Doing so put more officers on the
street -- something needed by a depart-
ment with one of the lowest officer-to-
population ratios in the country.

ed looking at what is needed to take it to
rl~e next level."
That required a different approach
than simple problem solving. It
involved creating and building groups
of people to not only resolve issues, but
come back together to resolve new
issues that may arise, Gove says.
"We're not able to solve every com-
munity problem," she explains. "We
need citizen groups to resolve multiple
problems or chronic issues where the
level of frustration in particular neigh-
borhoods is high. And those issues usu-
ally involve more than just police --
they are quality-of-life issues."

,, thrt~ugh calls to thc city manager's

dents one-on-one to learn what issues
affect them the most.
Group meetings are the most effec-
tive, Gove says, becadie they offer an
open forum and give people the oppor-
tunity to brainstorm.
Once problems are identified, partic-
ipants vote on the top three issues
that require immediate attention.
Committees are formed to develop
plans to tackle the problems and report
i-:ack to the entire group regarding
progress in key areas.
From there, officers help identify cit-
izens who are willing to work. Then
they organize the group and provide
training to facilitate meetings, create
flyers and develop agendas. The goal is
to create citizen leaders who can moti-
vate and direct residents with different
skill levels.
"We want to make sure police offi-
cers are not the only people residents
mm to with a problem," Steckler says.
"We work with neighborhood groups
and teach people to make decisions in
partnership with the police."
"Once people learn to be more
involved in resolving issues they feel
strongly about, they become very excit-
ed about the process," Gove says.
Groups may form to address a spe-
cific problem before disbanding. But,
some evolve into social groups, which
remain active in community affairs.
"We developed a platform for
reform which people may use to resolve
problems they identify later," Steckler

City warms up to Project CAPE
Mundelein, Illinois, has slmggled with growing pains as its
minority population mom than doubled in seven years. With the
cultural diversity came problems ranging from gang involve-
ment to alcohol and drag use plus other quality-of-life issues.
"It was clear traditional policing and reacting to crimes
after they occurred was failing," says Chief Raymond Rose.
"If ignored, these problems would certainly affect the entire
community."
The department responded by creating Project CAPE
(Creating A Positive Environment), a task force to implement
change and create community resource centers to deliver a
wide range of services to residents.
"We wanted to address not only quality-of-life issues, but

'fear of crime' issues that had a negative impact on our citi-
zens and residents," Rose says. "We painted the police depart-
ment motto 'Community Focused, Community Committed'
on each squad car, upgraded uniforms and enhanced the
police department buildiag -- a new look that was symbolic
of what we believed in."
The department developed a mission and values statement
which pledges that to "provide the highest quality of police
service which requires citizen involvement in the identifica-
tion and solution of problems within the community." The
mission also pledged to "continue to improve the quality of
life through enhanced police services while protecting the
constitutional rights of all citizens."
To prove their commitment to the new mission, Rose gave
each officer a laminated copy of the statement which they
keep in their uniform pockets. Plus the statement appears on
the back of all department business cards.
The 64-member department implemented a 12-hour shift
on a 13-month rotation. "This allowed us to find equilibrium

between meeting the needs of the community and giving
cers quality time with their families," Rose says. "When off
cer morale is high, it translates into a better organization and
enthusiasm to provide better service to the community."
The village was divided into four police districts with a zone
commander supervising two districts. Officers are held respon-
sible for reducing crime and fear of crime in their areas.
Teams of officers go door-to-door with letters of introduc-
tion, explaining what they are doing for the community and
listing the names of officg.rs who will serve the neighborhood.
Officers work with residents to identify crime patterns or
trends and help them utilize crime prevention techniques to
address issues in the district.
"At the heart of community policing is the belief that
meaningful change can occur when law enforcement agencies
empower officers to make decisions, think creatively and
work closely with their communities," Rose says.
Other community initiatives include:
· Foot patrol of local businesses.
· Liaison officers in the middle school and high school.
· Bike safety officers who patrol the streets and teach safe-
ty at schools.
· Gang outreach.
· Police chaplain program.
· Senior citizen's police academy.
The department enjoyed considerable success thanks to
c,mmunity policing. In one instance, gang activity permeated
four-block area known as the Poets subdivision. After several
gang-related shootings in 1997, two community policing offi-
cers went to work. Several neighborhood meetings were held,
resources allocated to the police and information started flow-
ing into the department. A neighborhood Watch program was
developed including neighborhood patrols, security surveys
and a phone tree. Even a neighborhood newsletter was created.
As a result, gang problems were resolved, crime decreased and
calls for service leveled o~..
Project CAPE launched more than 30 success~'ul, new ini-
tiatives in the past few years including:
· Special operations unit to suppress gang activity.
· Peer jury program in which adolescent volunteers mete
out community service projects to non-violent, first
offenders.
· Senior advocate officers who work with older adults to
educate them on crime prevention techniques.
· Carrier watch program in conjunction with the U.S.
Postal Service in which carders watch for signs of prob-
lems and notify the department of suspicious activity.
· A child identification program which gives parents stick-
ers to place on a child's safety seat or bike helmet pro-
viding personal and contact information.
· Operation Chill in cooperation with 7-11 stores, which
allows police officers and police explorers to reward
young people with a free Slurpee drink for doing some-
thing positive, like wearing a bike helmet or attending
DARE classes.

iI i
Budget Address to Board
~ following are selected excerpts from Sheriff Patrick
:Gowan's FY 2002 Budget Address to the County Board
Octji~ 3. Sheriff McGowan advised the Board that the
~ds ~ enforcement have changed significantly since
~tember 11. .
~e day-to-day reality of every American changed on
~tember 11th. The most powerful nation on the face of
earth was wounded .... not at some foreign embassy or
in the course of a military action. America took the blow on
our own streets ..... against working civilians.
Since then, a new phrase has been added to our vocabu-
lary - Homeland Defense. We have learned that in the
new world paradigm, the victims of insidious attacks and
their attackers could be found in any one of our cities or
counties.
Domestically, public safety has been re-defined. The
safety and security of our citizens will fall to local law
enforcement in new ways that we never thought possible.
The Sheriff's Office mission 'to keep and preserve the
peace in the county that we serve' takes on a whole new
dimension.
The existence of Ft. Shelling .... the airport .... and the Mallof
America ..... all located within our county .... present special
challenges to law enforcement. The Sheriffs Office is
solely responsible for public safety at Ft. Snelling which is
Hennepin's only unincorporated territory.
We all know .... that difficult times still remain ahead for us
and perhaps...we do not yet fully understand exactly what
that may mean for us. Nevertheless, let us remain united
in our determination to ensure the highest levels of public
safety and security for our county residents and employ-
ees.
But in the face of our nation's crisis ...... we must still be
there ..... day in and day out.., to meet Hennepin's public
safety needs."

Columbia Heights Thanks HCSO
A Unit Commendation was awarded to the Hennepin
County Sheriff's Office at special ceremonies in Columbia
Heights on SePtember 19. Columbia Heights hosted the
event to thank the responders who assisted during a
tragic shooting in their community, July 17. Three police
officers were shot during the stand off with a lone gun-
man.
The HCSO responded with personnel from Crime Lab,
Patrol, the Warrant Unit, and E-Squad. The commenda-
tion was accepted on behalf of the Sheriff's Office by
Captain Bill Chandler and Sergeant Kip Carver.
EOC Activated Twice After Attack
Sheriff McGowan ordered the HCSO Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) activated shortly after the
September 11 terrorist attacks in New York. Command
staff from the FBI, United States Secret
Service,Minneapolis Police Department, Ramsey County
Sheriff's Office and the St. Paul Police Department all
worked together to evaluate the local level of risk
immediately following the attack. An EOC was also
activated on October 7 as the first air strike against
Afghanistan began. The HCSO operates an EOC to
coordinate response in a large scale emergency.
Mikwold First to NY Duty
The first HCSO reservist to be called to active duty after
the September 11 terrorist attack was Deputy John
Mikwold.
Mikwold, currently assigned to the Patrol Divsion, is now
on duty with United States Coast Guard in New York
harbor.
Three additional reservists have since been called to duty.
They are: ADC Deputy Jason Nelson, Crime Lab Techni-
cian Michael Barnes, and Court Security Deputy Matthew
Dick.
We wish them all "safe passage" and thank them for their
service to our country.
Down Under' for A Good Cause
Water Patrol's Lt. Brian Johnson will go a long, long way
to volunteer for a good cause. Johnson recently returned
from Australia where he spent two weeks as a volunteer
coach with the International Special Olympics. He is a
tongtime volunteer for special Olympics.
We hope to chronicle his "down under" adventures in a
future issue.

"1 want to take the opportunity to acknowledge two of your
deputies, Daniel Herkenhoff and Scott Andersen. On July
26, they were driving by Four Winds at the time summer
school dismissed. Some of our graduating eighth grade
boys jumped another boy as part of a premeditated plan.
There was potential for serious injury to the victim. As our
staff was beginning to respond, the deputies immediately
moved in to assist us. Fortunately, the injury to the victim
was not severe, nor were teachers injured in their
tempts to help.
The deputies took the time to escort the students back
into the building, assessed the situation, assisted in
getting a squad to respond, and generally prevented the
situation from becoming more abusive to the victim. I
greatly appreciated their professionalism, but also their
genuine concern for the victim."

"1 am finally writing to thank and commend the men and
women of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office (HCSO)
for the outstanding service we have received in the last
months. We have weathered some difficult times

until the Grand Jury and the Hennepin County

I apologize for the tardiness.
It would take a couple of pages to list all the deputies and
staff who have provided essential public safety services
to our department and the residents of Edina over the last

who helped bring about the successful resolution of the
high profile incidents in our city. It is reassuring to know
that when it hits the fan, the HCSO is there to protect and
serve."

'1 want to tell you how impressed those individuals were
with the sensitivity and respect you displayed toward

ceremony, they specifically mentioned your
actions and expressed gratitude for your response to this
unique situation."
"1 just wanted to saythanks for all your help for Rogers
Open House and National Night Out. Deputy Dale
Schoenbauer was absolutely fabulous. Even though it

The past month since the unthinkable attacks on New York
and Washington has been a confusing and sometimes
frightening time for many Americans. Like many of you, I
am outraged and saddened. Nevertheless, lam also
committed to the task which lies ahead for local law en-
forcement. This new concept of Homeland Defense will be
borne heavily by local law enforcement that serves' you
directly.
For those of us in Hennepin County, we can be both proud
and confident that many of us have been training, assess-
ing and planning for this sad scenario for many years. The
Sheriff's Office along with other partners in law enforce-
ment'has been very proactive in analyzing the reality of
terrorism and weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
While, admittedly, we do need to evaluate the resources
we have and might need, we are, in fact, well prepared to
provide high levels of safety and security for our Hennepin
County residents.
We do have Emergency Operations Centers (EOC)
staffed by trained profess ona s., The Sheriff' ,~ Office has

in our facilities on a regular basis to ensure a free flow of
information and planning. We have provided personnel to
assist with airport security on the request of the Airport
Police Department.
Perhaps, most significantly, we have been a key player on
the FBI's Terrorism Task Force since January of 2000
when it was begun. The effectiveness of that group was
certainly proven when Zacharias Moussaoui was detained
in Minnesota almost a month before the September 11
attacks.
I hope that all Hennepin County citizens will feel empow-
ered to continue their lives as usual in our streets and
communities. It is a time to be alert, but it is also a time to
be calm and confident. And perhaps we can allow our-
selves just a moment of pride knowing that we have
effected a level of preparedness that sets a standard for
the nation.
We must remain strong in our resolve. May God bless
America.

By now, everyone has had time to
digest the recent Minnesota legislative
changes that took place in June 2001,
affecting the Minnesota Property Tax
system, and more specifically, tax
increment financing (TIF). With
aggressive class rate compression
and the state takeover of the general
education levy, some people are left
wondering, "What do these changes
mean for the future of TIF?"
Let's start with a brief recap of the
property tax changes. The
compression of class rates will reduce
the tax capacity of property by an
ofktimated 35% to 45%, and the state
cover of the general education levy
approximately 32.14% will reduce
the overall local tax capacity rate.
Both factors will result in a reduction
of tax increment revenue.
increment revenue.
For future projects, we believe TIF
will still be a primary economic
development tool. However, certain
types of projects may be a better fit
with TIF and entities may give
greater consideration when choosing
projects to which they want to
provide assistance. Lately, we have
begun to witness a change from the
traditional debt financed projects to
pay-as-you-go f'mancing, shifting the
burden and risk from the entity to the
developer. Because of the recent
property tax changes, we expect this
trend to continue.
Although TIF is still the most widely
used economic development tool,
we need to realize that it is now less
effective than it was in the past.
When we look to alternatives, we
automatically think of tax abatement.
Tax abatement was approved in 1997
and, because of its simplicity, has
with the mechanics of abatement,
its use will significantly increase.
Other economic development tools
are available that can work effectively,
either independently or in conjunction
with TIF. A few examples are special
service districts, revolving loan funds,
HRA/EDA/port authority levies, and
the Community Development Block
Grant program.
Creativity will be key to planning
the future when it comes to economic
development. Although TIF can still
be viewed as an effective tool, its
ability to stand alone has been limited
by the new property tax laws.
Additional economic development
programs can, and will have to, be
combined with TIF to provide effective
gap financing mechanisms. The
creative use of alternative financing
programs and tools will be necessary
for the success of economic
development in future years.

The City of Woodbury is one of the
fastest growing, premier communities
in Minnesota. With a population of
47,000 and growing by over 5% per
year, the need for adequate
transportation infrastructure
is ongoing and acute. While the
normal demands of building residential
streets, collectors and arterials has
been a continuous challenge, the
etnding of a major new freeway
erchange using predominately local
sources placed a new test before
City officials, a test they successfully
passed after more than ten years
of planning.
With a project cost approaching
$30 million, the City investigated
a large number of external and
internal funding sources. The result
was a multi-year effort to craft a
funding strategy using a wide variety
of sources. The City received
approximately $3.5 million in federal
funds for ISTEA eligible project
costs. From local resources, the City
committed state intergovernmental
revenues devoted to roadways,
special assessments and economic
development financing tools. The
special assessments resulted from
negotiations with non-residential
developers in the immediate vicinity
of the interchange. The most
challenging source was the
multi-jurisdiction use of a new state
law regarding "tax abatement," in fact,
a dedication of specific p.arcel
incremental property tax revenues.
The City was successful in negotiating
with their county and school district
to commit their incremental revenues
from new development occurring
around the interchange. Springsted
worked with the City throughout the
process to analyze individual sources
and their timing, and to implement
the overall strategy.

Alliance for Families and Children in Hennepin County
We are looking at implementing the Primary Project in both of the elementary schools and at the preschool level. The
Primary Project is a research based program that helps kids connect to the school environment. The years of outcome data
shows that it helps students succeed in school. So far, the district guidance meeting members have voiced support of the
project and we will present to the shared decisions groups for their support. It will then be presented to the school staff.
Leah met with Dr. Pam and John Loben from Intermediate District 287. This was a good discussion that should have taken
place long ago. This discussion will be useful in addressing the LCTS policy committee regarding the distribution of LCTS
funds.

Minutes - September 21,2001
Present: Craig Anderson, Patricia Anderson, Mary. Goode, Len Harrell, Sandy Olstad, Kathy
Jones, Jean Ann Thayer, Mary Hughes, Brian Powers, Laurie Fitz, Sandy Wing, Leslie Lamfers,
Margaret Holste, Leah Weycker
Guests: Marcy Harris, Community Action for Suburban Hennepin County (CASH)
Additions or Changes to the Agenda or Minutes:
There were no changes to the minutes. Margaret Holste made a motion to approve the minutes,
Patricia Anderson seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Announcements:
· Margaret Holste asked members to sponsor her for the WeCAN Walk on October 14,
2001. She also reminded us of the Chamber "Taste 'of the Lakes" to be held on
Saturday, September 22, 2001.
· Kathy Jones shared that she plans to do a quarterly parent newsletter with pertinent
articles reminding parents to ask "Who, what, where, and when?" She invited us to
submit information/articles. Mary Goode suggested doing an extra one focused on
depression/suicide prevention. Possibly this could be part of our plans for the Parent
Mobilization grant. Leah will be attending the Shared Decisions Team meeting at the High
Schoo. I to get their ideas of ways to use the grant monies.
· Kathy shared that she and a student will be seeking student involvement in a chemically
free student group at the high school. The group will be based on what the students
want it to be rather than following a specified model.
· Minnetrista Police and school staff will be sponsoring a summit for parents dealing with
"what you need to know that your kids already know."
· Brian Powers offered to update us at a future meeting regarding new staff and programs at
Mound Psychological.
· Leah shared that the student welcome back event involved the most volunteers ever.
Verbal responses have been positive, but she has received no written feedback this
year. It was suggested that she send out an evaluation so that we have the information
we need for required reports and future planning.
Juvenile Justice Video: We watched the video produced by agroup of young people through a
task force of the Alliance for Families and Children in Hennepin County called '~'our Kids, Your
Backyard.' It focused on young people who had been involved in the corrections system but
now have turned their lives around. Copies for viewing are available from Leah.
Family Support Program: sandy Olstad, St. John's Parish Nurse, shared information and
brochures for the new support program starting October 9 available to women and children
affected .by domestic abuse. It will be ~held locally in conjunction with SoJourner Project. Weekly
sessions include a meal followed by support groups for the w'omen and the children, the
children's groups being based on age. There is money available to help with transportation.
Referrals can be made at any time by contacting Lisa at Sojourner Project at 952-351-4061. It is
a time limited program, but partiCipants can continue three times. Brochures about the program
have been distributed throughout the community and many groups have offered financial support
as well as staffing for the program. It will likely take some time for it to get established, but it will
hopefully be a useful service to persons affected by domestic violence.
Len Harrell and Craig Anderson shared police statistics for Mound (55 to 70 cases per year with
about 1/3 resulting in arrest,) and Minnetrista (35 to 50 cases per year). This number is down
some from previous years possibly because of the aggressive arrest program. A copy of the
police repOrt is shared with SoJourner staff who will call the viCtim. A concern, however, is that
many women are staying in the relationship and not following through on treatment and support
options. Marcy, from Community Action for Suburban Hennepin County, suggested that the lack
of affordable housing may be the reason many women are not able to leave the relationship.
The need for education and treatment for the perpetrator was discussed. Len shared that the
court often requires anger management training for the perpetrator. Pyramid and Mound

Psychological currently work with the perpetrator, and SoJourner is getting a grant to also do so.
LOTS Funds: Leah shared that the Executive committee reviewed our agreement with the
County regarding the disbursement of LOTS funds, We recbmmended that the dollars raised by
District 287 staff be split between the local districts and District 287 since the students they serve
are students from local districts. It is not yet clear how the proposed changes will impact our
funding although hopefully it will not be adversely affected.
Rotary has 12 students involved in the STRIVE program, the largest group to date. The program
focuses on improving attendance and achievement of-studen[s in 'the lowest third of the class
through mentoring and monthly meetings. Leah and Lenny both serve as mentors.
SkatePark: Mound has approved use of the land by City Hall but some soil correction needs to
be done, Gene Hostetler has redraWn the plans based on the agreed upon location. We will
need to do fundraising as it Will likely cost about $100,000. We currently have about $20,000
based on donations from Minnetrista, Baywinds, and WHCC funds. We are also hoping to get
donations of materials in place of dollars. The task force rr~ets regularly on Wednesdays at the
WestOnka Library.
Activity bus: We plan to offer the activity bus during first quarter and then evaluate usage. Last
year it cost us $6,000 with daily ridership averaging 6 students. It was suggested that the
Executive Committee do the review and make a recommendation to the lafger group,
Youth Center: Sue Cathers is willing to work with the Youth Center again. It will be held on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at St. John's with a start date of October 15. Time will be spent at
PreSbyterian Homes just once per month based on feedback from the students. We will not be
having the "mentor program" as it didn't function well last year and requires extensive training and
supervision to run effectively.
Headstart: Laurie Fitz is on the Headstart Board and will represent them'as one of our mandated
partners. She shared that enrollment is ten children with hopes of increasing that number
throughout the year. She is hopeful that programs with similar missions within the community can
work cooperatively so that each has adequate enrollment.
Mary GoOde made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Sandy Olstad seconded the motion. The
motion passed.
