2002 Fee Schedule
It is hoped that the fees may be adopted at this meeting, making them effective January 1. Our revenue
projections depend upon their effectiveness as soon as possible. If there are any hurdles to this process, I
encourage your approval of the fee schedule, minus any parts, so that most new fees are in effect as of the first
of the year. To save publication costs, you may take action on each ordinance amendment as follows: "Motion
for summary publication for ........ ," allowing us to simply publish the summary and make reference to a full
and complete copy at City Hall.
Appointment
We received on application £or the LMCD Board for your consideration. We also received an opinion from
Kennedy and Gra¥¢n regarding the LMCD appointment process: Appointing cities do have the ability to
"recall" their appointments. However, if the delay in making the new appointment were fairly short, it would
also be proper to leave the incumbent in office pending the new appointment. This approach is viewed as
preferable to "recalling" someone at a later date. This information will only be useful if you choose to not
appoint Orv.
Police Patrol Union
The highlights of the union agreement are the wages and the insurance benefits. The spreadsheet provided
shows the total impacts to the City, including the City's costs brought about increasing wages. The split
increases in each of the years is the creative solution to which I referred. I hope to use this approach with the
others, as well.
Human Resources Update
Advertisement for the Public Works Worker has commenced. The job posting ends January 2.

RESOLUTION # 01-
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A SIDE YARD SETBACK VARIANCE
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SECOND STORY
AND FIRST FLOOR ADDITION ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 3033 BRIGHTON BOULEVARD, LOTS 9 AND 28, BLOCK 15, ARDEN,
P & Z CASE # 01-43
PID # 24-117-24-43-0010
WHEREAS, the applicant, has requested a variance(s) to remodel the existing residence,
add a second story and provide additional living space to the first floor. The proposed project
will require the recognition of the existing setbacks as follows:
Existing Proposed Required Variance
Side yard setback (north) 0.15 feet
Side yard setback (south) 10.3 feet
0.15 feet 6 feet 5.85 feet
4.6 feet 6 feet 1.4 feet
;and,
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within the R-lA Zoning District that requires
a 6,000 square feet lot area, 20 foot front yard setbacks, and 6 foot side yard setbacks and 40
percent hardcover for lots of record; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a covered deck on the first floor that would
maintain the existing side yard setback. An addition to the existing deck would extend to 4.6 feet
feet from the south sideyard setback. A second story addition is also proposed to provide
additional living space. The second story would maimain the same sideyard setback as most of
the first floor at 5 feet; and,
WHEREAS, the lot north of the property is owned by the City of Mound. A public
sanitary sewer line runs east/west through the middle of that lot. West of the property is Brighton
Commons and south of the property is a single family residence; and,
WHEREAS, although the survey indicates the property is not in a floodplain, the house
does have a crawl space that has an elevation of 928.6 feet which is below the regulatory flood
protection elevation (RFPE) of 933.0 feet. Federal flood requirements will require the crawl
space to be flood proofed in accordance with applicable design considerations or be filled to meet
the RFPE; and,
WHEREAS, as a part of the project, the existing gravel driveway will be removed and
paved. The hardsurfacing will decrease the overall driveway hardcover. The property will be
under the 40% hardcover maximum at 29% or 2349.6 square feet; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request and recommended
denial of the variance as recommended for approval by Staff: and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound,
Minnesota as follows:
-9886-
1. The City does hereby approve the varim~ce with the following conditions:
(a) Any proposed improvements along the south sideyard shall meet applicable
zoning setbacks for principal structures and decks.
(b) The existing nonconforming garage will be moved and/or rebuilt in a conforming
location.
2. The variance approval is supported by the following findings:
(a) The project provides an overall improvement to the livability of the house.
(b) The existing sideyard setback variance does not impact the use of the adjacent
City property.
(c) The project brings the house into conformity with flood regulation provisions.

Greenway plan review.
Enclosed is the 95%-complete plan set for the Lost Lake Greenway project. As you know, one of
the conditions for extending the ISTEA grant is the submission of plans to MN/DOT by the end
of 2001.
The Greenway project includes the construction of a trail, pier, boat docks, landscaping and the
central green at Lost Lake. The project.is an exciting one because it represents the primary public
space in the Mound Visions plan. The project budget is 1.3 million dollars, $636,000 of which
will be federally funded. An additional $500,000 of funding is currently held in reserve by the
City for the pier/dock components of the project (held since cancellation of that portion of the
Lost Lake Canal project in 1999).
Even though we are submitting plans to MN/DOT in the near term, the project will not be bid
until late summer 2002 because of the post office relocation issue.
I would like the opportunity to review the near-complete project plans with the City Council on
Tuesday evening. I will also have detailed cost estimate information ready for review at that
time.

BACKGROUND. As the CiD' Council is aware, CiD, staff has been evaluating its current fees for
water and sewer. Listed below are the current charges in fine City of Mound for hook-up to
municipal water and water:
Water connection charge $125.00
Sewer connecfon charge $125.00
WATER AND SEWER FEE SURVEY. Listed below is a current inventory of water and sewer
fees currently charged by oflner communities:
City Water Sewer
Watertown $1750.00 $1750.00
Wayzata $1500.00 $350.00
St. Michael $1700.00 $3707.00

Maple Grove $1350.00 $588.00
Burnsville $715.00 $752.00
Andover $1325.00 $306.00
-9890-
PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE. Following review of sewer and water fees that are currently
charged by other communities, City staff is proposing the following changes to its fee schedule:
Water trunk area charge
$1500.00 *new fee
Water connection charge
$ 240.00
Sewer trunk area charge
$1500.00 *new fee
Sewer connection charge
$ 240.00
These fees are typically charged for all new construction projects and are paid at the time a building
permit for a new dwelling and/or commercial building is issued. The City Council is advised that
the primary purpose for the proposed fee revisions is to provide adequate funding for the
comprehensive maintenance of the City's infrastructure system (ie. trunk lines, lift stations, wells, water
tower, etc.) Please note that tine City's fees for water and sewer are in addition to the SAC fee of
$1150.00 that is charged by fine Metropolitan Council Environment Service 0MCES.)
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. One point of discussion for the City Council
will be to determine whetlner or not proiects tlnat have been recently approved or are currently in
the development review process should be "grandfatlaered" under the current fee schedule See
below:
Langdon Bay (R.H. Helmer / Rottlund)
Water
Water trunk area charge (per unit)
$1500.00
Water connection clnarge (per unit) $ 125.00
Sewer
None
Notes: No sewer charges were assigned as this property was previously assessed for
sanitary sewer and since the connection will be made direcdy to a Metro line, the City
Engineer does not believe it is appropriate to levy any sanitary sewer area charges. Section
18 of the Development Agreement, however, states that the fees, charges and assessments
in effect at the time of the issuance of the building permit will be set according to the
current rate structure at the time the building permit is received.

are reviewed annually on January 1. The rate assessed would be that that in effect in effect
at the time of final plat approval.

calculation of residential equivalency units.

RE: Fee Increase - Water and Sewer Trunk Area Charges
Dear Ms. Smith,
I am writing in regard to the recem notification that the Water and Sewer Trunk Area charges for
the City of Mound are being increased as of September 25, 2001 to $1500/unit/charge.
MetroPlains Development LLC has been working with the City of Mound on the redevelopment
of the former Westonka School site imo commercial and residential since early 2000. During
this time we were quoted that these charges were $1000/unit/charge. Since that time, the charges
were again increased at the beginning of 2001 to $1150/unit/charge.
We would ask the City of Mound to allow MetroPlains Development to retain the current costs
of $1150/unit/charge. MetroPlains has had preliminary plat approval of this project and a
development agreement with the City of Mound since January 23, 2001. This project is ready to
begin construction upon the final approval of the EAW.
We ask that you please consider our request that projects, which are already in the pipeline,
retain the current water and sewer trunk charges. This project has already incurred additional
expense due to changes in the TI~ law and would be greatly hampered by this increase.
PI~~,. se contact me if you would like
to discuss.

State Budget Forecast Projects
$1.95 Billion Shortfall
On Tuesday, December 4, the Minnesota Department of Finance announced
a projected budget shortfall of $1.95 billion for the state's current biennium,
which runs until June 30, 2003. Forecasted revenues from corporate income
taxes are down 28.1 percent, followed by sales tax revenues, which are down
10 percent and individual income tax revenues, which are down 6,7 percent,
for a total revenue forecast that is down 7.6 percent.
The Ventura administration has yet to announce a proposal for addressing
the shortfall. However, prior to the announcement, the Department of Fi-
nance had already instructed all state departments and agencies to prepare
budget amendments that reflect a five and ten percent reduction from their
aproved biennial budgets. The department has also requested that all gr~''*
approvals be delayed until December 23, 2001.
The grant freeze impacts programs such as the brownfield clean-up grants
administered by the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Develop-
ment (DTED).The Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities grants for hous-
ing and demonstration projects are not subject to the grant freeze but tax
base revitalization grants, which are coordinated with the brownfield clean-up
grants administered by DTED, may be subject to the freeze. Metropolitan
Council staff has requested clarification regarding the tax revitalization grants.
Committee Recommends Funding for LCA
Housing & Demonstration Account Projects
At its December 3 meeting, the Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities
Committee approved approximately $6.9 million in funding for demonstration
and housing developments. Four housing developments received a total of
$600,000 from the Local Housing Incentives Account (LHIA). The LHIA funded
developments are part of 30 metropolitan area developments that received
funding from the Metropolitan Housing Implementation Group (MHIG). The
four LHIA funded projects are located in Bloomington, Burnsville, Coon Rap-
ids and Woodbury and will provide 169 total rental units of which 139 units will
rent to households having incomes at or below 60% of the median incom~.
The total amount of subsidy received by '{he four deve[opmertts ~ram M
approximates $4.9 million and does not include local (city) contributions.
The committee also recommended $5.4 million in demonstration project funds
for 11 projects The demonstration account funding was supplemented by
$0.9 million :9921 -funds. The projects are located in Minneapolis, St. Paul,

MEMORANDUM
12/5/01
To: Kandis Hanson, City Manager
From: John Dean, City Attorney
Subject: Provision of"In-Kind" assistance to Gillespie Senior Center.
BACKGROUND
The Gillespie Senior Center is owned and operated by the Westonka Senior Citizens
Foundation, and is operated on a not-for-profit basis as a clubhouse, meeting and recreational
facility serving senior citizens in communities generally located in the westem Lake Minnetonka
area. The work of the Center is recognized by communities in the area, and a number of then have
made financial contributions to assist the Center in its operations.
Mound has previously made a significant contribution by approving an exemption from
property taxation for the Center.
Due to continuing unmet financial needs, the Center has requested that Mound consider
additional assistance. Because of severe budget constraints, Mound was unable to provide for a
monetary contribution to the Center in its 2002 budget.
The Center has suggested that Mound consider the provision of "in-kind" services, such as
snow plowing of the parking lot, in lieu of cash.
There are advantages to Mound and to the Center:
1. The actual cost to Mound in providing the services is low. This assumes that the
equipment and the labor are already in place, and that no additional material, equipment or labor
would be needed.
2. Although the cost is relatively low to Mound, the value of the service to the Center is
the same whether done by city crews or by a private contractor.
3. The assistance will be used for defined purposes. Cash contributions are generally
used beyond the control of the donor.
There are also disadvantages:
1. Coordination and timing can be a problem. In the example of snowplowing, the
crews and equipment are also being used to plow streets and public property. Plowing of the Center
lot would need to accommodate those activities. In addition, the lot would need to be available for
plowing when the city crew was able to do it.
2. When the city is performing the work liability can be an issue.
-9928-
3. There is a possible public perception that services, which are financed, in part, by
general taxes are being given to the Center for free. This means that everyone else is paying for the
service but the Center.
4. Other groups or associations may seek to claim similar treatment.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
There appears to be sufficient legal authority to permit Mound to engage in providing "in-
kind" services. Minnesota Statutes, section 471.935 allows for the appropriation of money to
support the facilities, programs and services of a not-for-profit senior citizen center. Minnesota
Statutes, section 471.16 provides that cities may enter into agreements with non-profits carrying out
recreational and similar programs, and to cooperate in any manner that they mutually agree.
SPECIFIC SERVICES AND ISSUES
As indicated above, it is necessary to have a written agreement that would address the
relationship of the parties and cover the services to be provided. In terms of topics, the agreement
should address, at least, the following topics:
The term. How long will the agreement last.
Termination. Can the agreement be terminated sooner. How.
Nature of city obligation.
· Cap on value of services. Does the agreement lapse after city has provided a certain value of
"in-kind" services.
· Liability and Indemnification. Issues to be addressed include who is responsible for damage to
Center, its employees and invitees and/or their property during plowing, liability for
consequential damages such as loss or rent due to event cancellation for failure to plow.
· Specific services. The agreement should describe and detail specific services and the conditions
under which they will be provided. One should expect that the agreement will need to be
amended from time to time to address additional services. Due to timing issues, it is probably
prudent to start out small with a limited number of services, perhaps only snowplowing, and let
the agreement grow later, if the program is working.
POSSIBLE SUBJECTS
Other possible subjects for the agreement might include any activity that would ordinarily
be performed by city crews on city property. Such activities might include: · Parking lot sweeping.
· Sweeping of adjacent public streets
· Snow removal from roof
· opening sewer lines
· mowing
· Tree removal and trimming-(based on business or safety considerations),
assignment of insurance proceeds
· Storm water pond and buffer maintenance
· Property protection-(secure broken windows and other openings)
-9929-
· Respond to other utility emergencies
In addition, the city might also want to consider providing reductions or credits to various
municipal fees such as sewer and water or special assessments.
Another area of consideration would be to offset the value of the city services by certain
compensating services that the Center could provide to the City. Possible offsetting services could
include:
· Making meeting rooms in the Center available for use by the City at reduced
rates. For example, the Center has agreed to providing a meeting room at no
charge for city use one time per month, with room set-up provided by the city.
· Sponsoring a dinner for city crews providing City services
· Coffee and restroom facilities available to city crews while working
· Members to provide service to City for such things as mass mailings and
newsletters
BACK TO SNOW PLOWING
Because snowplowing will likely be a subject of the first agreement, I will make a few
comments about issues that should be addressed:
· Who decides when to plow, and what are the criteria. Will they be the same for when
we plow streets and other public property. This also involves the question of priorities
after the decision to plow is made.
· What will the Center's obligation be concerning the condition of the lot. If there are cars
in the lot, do we simply plow around them and leave.
· What about ice. Do we sand and salt.
· What about sidewalks and other walkways.
· What about removal of snow from the site.
· Although mentioned above, liability and indemnity will be a big issue with show
plowing.
Hope this is enough to help get you started. Let me know ifI can provide any explanation
or additional material.

VISOR
Leaders in Public Finance Since 1955
Fall 2001
What Happens Now?
Our thoughts and prayers are with all whose lives
were touched by the terrorist attacks in New York
and Washington. In the face of such a massive tragedy,
the world of public finance seems far less important.
While these events have changed all of our lives, we
will press forward. This means returning to the business
of helping local governments make good capital finance
decisions.
You are undoubtedly looking for the answer to the
question "What happens now?" We wish we had a
definitive answer. In truth, it is too soon to know. The
ripples created on September 11 will go out for weeks
and months to come.
Here are some thoughts on what lies ahead:
Prior to .September 11, the tax-exempt bond market
was strong. On September 10, Ehlers conducted a
competitive sale of insured G.O. Bonds, maturing
over 17 years. The low bid was a true interest cost
of 4.38%! Sales in recent weeks suggest that the
market has returned to this point.
In the past, similar events have made municipal
bonds more attractive to investors. This tragedy is,
however, unlike any other. We do not know future

Oops, They Did It Again!
Thoughts on the 2001 Legislative Session
We doubt that Brittney Spears was singing about the
Minnesota Legislature. It does, however, seem like
a fitting description of the 2001 Session from a public
finance perspective. Every year, Ehlers & Associates
prepares a summary of change from the last legislative
session. We are taking a slightly different approach in
2001.
By now, you have gotten several session summaries. You
· are working through new tax laws as you prepare 2002
budgets. Rather than rehash things you already know, this
legislative review will focus on:
What have we learned since the end of the session.
Things you might have overlooked.
· The outlook beyond 2001.
Public Finance
Each year, the Minnesota Institute of Public Finance
(MIPF) prepares the public finance bill. This bill contains
the proposed changes in the laws governing local debt.
The 2001 Session will be remembered more for what did
not happen than any specific change.
The proposed bill contained several small, but important
changes to local debt powers. The bill would have

Making Livable Communities
Redevelopment in Osseo
Osseo is a small Minneapolis area community with a
historic downtown that is the envy of many much
larger communities. Unfortunately, the gateway to the
community and downtown included an auto graveyard.
For many years, the cost to acquire and clean-up the site
prevented the site from being redeveloped. Osseo's City
Manager, Dave Callister, applied for and received grants
to help pay for site acquisition and clean up. The next
challenge was to find the right type of development to
serve as both a new community gateway and a means to
bolster the city's limited commercial tax base.
Osseo retained Ehlers & Associates to provide
Redevelopment Management Services. Ehlers partnered
with City staff to move the project from an idea to
project construction in just nine months. Ehlers services
in Osseo included:
Preparation of a development concept consistent
with city economic and planning goals.
Identification of qualified developers.
Preparation of a request for development
proposals.
Review of development proposals.
Developer selection.
"Ehlers helped us achieve the development we needed to
assure the long- term viability of our community. Their
hands on approach and extensive development
experience was a perfect compliment to our staff", said
Mayor Dan Sadler.
Ehlers is currently providing redevelopment services for
nine projects in seven cities with a total estimated value
in excess of $500 million.

community meet your development goals contact Mark

Issuers must be prepared for instability. America's

the coming weeks. As we get a better understanding

New Legislation from Page 1
authorized enhanced bonding capacity for street
reconstruction and general obligation backing for electric
system improvements. None of the proposed changes
survived the committee process. More importantly, the
Legislature tacked on new restrictions for debt issuance.
These restrictions would have required a reverse
referendum process on many types of debt.
While not adopted, the restrictions signal concerns for
future legislative sessions. Well intentioned proposals face
unintended consequences. Certain legislators seem intent
on placing new limitations on the ability of local
governments to incur debt. This potential must be closely
monitored in future sessions.
The Legislature did make several changes related to local
government debt.
Revolving Funds: One public finance change you may
have noticed involves permanent improvement revolving
funds (M.S. 429.091, Subd. 7a). The statute now allows
money in a revolving fund to be spent for the portion of
aintenance facilities "fairly allocable to the maintenance
of streets and water, sewer, and storm sewer systems".
Unfortunately, the ability to issue bonds under this statute
for maintenance facilities is uncertain. The revenue test
required to issue bonds does not cleanly fit with these
improvements. If you want to use this new power, the best
course of action is to involve your bond counsel and
financial advisor early in the process. Careful planning is
needed to work around these flaws in the statute.
School Debt Limit: The statutory debt limit for school
districts increases to 15% (from 10%) of actual market
value.
Bond Election ~)uestions: Cities, counties and towns have
more flexibility in seeking bonding authority from voters.
The ballot question can be divided into two or more
separate questions. The options may be stated
conjunctively or in the alternative.
Abatement Bonds: The election exception for bonds issued
under the Tax Abatement statutes is removed for facilities
prohibited under M.S. 469.176, Subd. 4g. This portion of
'.e TIF Act contains the prohibitions on general
governmental use.
Property Taxes
The Legislature may claim to have reformed the property
tax system. It cannot claim tax simplification. It is hard
to £md a time when the property tax system was more
complicated or confusing.
Most of our attention has been on the new tax capacity
rates. (For your reference, a summary of the new rates
appears on the last page of this newsletter.) These changes
have immediate implications for budgeting and TIE
There are, however, other tax system changes that must
be noted and understood.
Limited Market Value is being phased out over a six-
year period. Limited market value caps the annual
increase in market value and, therefore, the value
available for taxation. For assessment year 2002, the
increase in market value may not exceed the greater of
10% of the value in the preceding assessment or 15%
of the difference. The "cap" grows in each successive
year until assessment year 2007 when all properties
will be at full estimated market value.
Several property classifications have "taft" decreases
with additional reductions in future years. Rental
housing with 2-3 units will drop from 1.50% in 2002 to
1.25% in 2003. The rate for apartments drops from
1.80% next year to 1.50% in 2003 and 1.25% in 2004.
Agricultural and non-commercial seasonal
recreational residential properties are exempt from all
referendum market value tax levies.
HACA is eliminated for all jurisdictions, except
counties. The future of HACA for counties is not
clear.
There is a new homestead credit for residential and
agricultural properties. The residential credit is equal
to 0.4% of market value. The credit is phased out for
values over $76,000 to a maximum value of $414,000.
The credit will be used to reimburse local units of
government in proportion t° the property taxes levied.
The State will make payments once each year in
December.

New Legislation-from Page 3
:ranges in the property tax system alter the cash flow
projections for every tax increment financing district. The
real nature of the impacts will become clearer as we begin to
work with actual tax capacity values and tax rates for 2002.
For "preexisting" districts (filed for certification before
August 1, 2001), there are four options for curing deficits
created by changes to the property tax system: (1) pooling,
(2) unfreezing the Original Tax Rate, (3) changing the fiscal
disparities election, and (4) TIF grants. A discussion of the
potential application of these cures goes beyond this
newsletter. We will focus on this topic as part of our annual
Public Finance Seminar in February.
New restrictions on interfund loans have been added (M.S.
469.178, Subd. 7). All interfund loans must be approved by
resolution of the governing body. The terms for the
repayment of the loan must be stated in writing. At a
minimum, the required terms are principal, interest rate and
duration. The new legislation creates restrictions for
interfund loans and advances made before August 1, 2001.
eLGA~ACA penalty and alternative local contribution
been eliminated. This change applies to both new and
existing districts.
Without the LGA/HACA penalty, the incentive to establish
a "qualified" housing district goes away. If your district
meets the criteria for a qualified housing district, it would be
wise to make note of these facts in the TIF Plan. This
approach may preserve options in anticipation of future
legislative changes.
K-12 Education
The state has eliminated the general education levy (also
referred to as the state-determined levy) for all school
districts, and replaced this revenue with state aid. The
state also eliminated the education homestead credit and
education agricultural credit, a mechanism through which
the state had paid a large share of this levy for homestead
and agricultural property. Some of the major effects of this
change on school districts, other government units, and
taxpayers are summarized below:
;chool district certified levies will decline dramatically
in most cases by more than half.
School district tax capacity rates will also decline.
For most districts, the general education levy for
2001 taxes represented a tax rate of 30 to 35
percent. Although tax capacity rates for other
school levies may increase for next year, most
districts will still experience major reductions in the
overall tax capacity rate. This may cause
significant reductions in tax increment revenue,
for both existing and proposed tax increment
districts.
The total school district portion of the property tax
bill will be reduced substantially for commercial-
industrial property, rental housing, seasonal
recreational property, cabins, and high valued
homes. For agricultural property and lower valued
homes, the decreases will be much smaller, due to
the impact of the old homestead credits on these
properties. For some school districts, there may
even be an increase in school district property taxes
for some farms and .lower valued homes.
The state increased the general education formula
allowance .(the basic funding per pupil unit guaranteed
to all districts) by $415 per pupil unit for the 2002-03
fiscal year, and decreased districts' existing operating
referendum revenue by the same amount. This has been
referred to as the "state takeover" of the first $415 of
referendum authority. Some effects of this change are as
follows:
For approximately 20 percent of school districts
which either had no referendum revenue or very
small amounts approved by voters, this will result in
relatively large increases in revenue for 2002-03.
For most other districts, this will result in a further
reduction in property taxes. Since operating
referendum taxes are spread on referendum market
value, the impact will be a fairly uniform percentage
of market value for most types of property.
The state made several other changes in operating
referendum provisions. First, they removed all
agricultural property (except the house, garage, and one
acre) and cabins from the tax base for referendum taxes.
(State aid will make up for the tax revenue lost due to
this change.) Second, they provided state equalization
aid for a larger portion of referendum revenue. Third,

School Capital Funding Program
A New Approach to Capital Finance
Ehlers& Associates is pleased to announce the
very
creation of the Minnesota School Capital Funding
Program. This new joint venture between Ehlers and Zions
Bank will make it easier and more cost-effective for school
districts to borrow money for capital expenses, through a tax-
exempt lease purchase.
Ehlers & Associates will be the local contact and
administrator of this program. Zions Bank, with headquarters
in Salt Lake City, will provide the funding for the program.
Zions is a national leader in providing tax-exempt lease
purchase financing for school districts, cities and other local
governments. They have committed to providing at least
$5 0 million for this program.
Uses of Funds. Districts may use the funds to pay for any
capital expense including; new buildings, additions,
renovations, equipment and land. Some examples of typical
uses include:
to pay up-front for major capital projects, avoiding
inflation and spreading the cost over time;
to fund technology purchases;
to pay for energy improvements that will reduce
operating expenses;
as temporary financing for land purchases or other costs
that will be repaid through a future bond issue.
Repaying the Program. If your district sets up a lease

New Legislation from Page 4
they increased the maximum revenue that districts can
receive through voter-approved referendums.
For many districts, these changes mean that the
state will pay a larger share of future referendum
revenue, and the burden on local taxpayers will be
less.
Some districts, which were previously receiving the
maximum referendum revenue allowed by the state,
will now be able to ask their voters for additional
revenue.
One immediate effect of these changes, coupled
with relatively small increases in state-guaranteed
funding, appears to be a record number of school
districts seeking voter approval in November for
increases in referendum revenue.
The state also enhanced the formula for equalization aid
on voter-approved bond issues. This change will affect
relatively few school districts - generally those with very
high debt service tax rates and low tax capacity per pupil
unit. But for some districts, the increased aid will be
substantial. This will cause further tax decreases in these
districts. It will also make the tax burden for future bond
issues substantially less in some school districts.

NEWS BRIEFS
**City Park Programs and Lifeguards Cut for Summer 2002**
City governments have joined school districts in looking for ways to
cut costs to maintain a balanced budget. Next summer, local families
with children will feel the impact of budget cuts recently approved by
the City of Mound--cuts that will mean the elimination of parks programs
for youth and lifeguards at area beaches.
The cuts are included in the 2002 City Budget adopted earlier this week
- 9942- 11/29/2001
by the Mound City Council. In addition to eliminating parks programs and
lifeguards, funding for the annual Music in the Park program was
withdrawn.
For many years, the Westonka Community Education and Services
Department (a department of the Westonka Public Schools) has been a
partner in carrying out those programs. The City of Mound would support
the programs financially (so that community members could participate
at no cost), and Community Education staff would plan the programs, hire
the staff, and coordinate and schedule programs and activities.
Over the coming months, Westonka Community Education and Services staff
will explore whether offering youth parks programs as a fee-based
service, even on a limited basis, might be possible.
These cuts do not affect City/School District collaboration in other
program areas.

**County Road 110 Re-opens: New Dismissal Time at Grandview**
Hennepin County has re-opened County Road 110 from Three Points
Boulevard to Sunnyfield Road, restoring easy access to Hilltop Primary
School and Mound VVestonka High School.
Now that school buses can travel on County Road 110, requiring less
travel time to get from Grandview to the high school, Grandview's
dismissal time will change. ^ letter with the new dismissal time'will go
home with all Grandview students on Friday, November 30. The new
dismissal time will take effect on Monday, December 3. The school sign
at the driveway entrance on Commerce Blvd. will also note the new
dismissal time.
*Editor's note: because I will be out of the office on Friday, this
issue of westonka.news is being distributed on Thursday--too early to
include the revised dismissal time. If you have a Grandview student,
however, you 'will receive the above-mentioned letter with more
information.
In the spring, the County will resume construction on the portion of
County Road 110 north from Sunnyfield Road to County Road 151.
Thank you for your patience and attentive driving as you took detours
over the past few months!
**VVestonka Staff Help United Way**
Every year, Westonka staff participate in a fund drive for the United
Way.
- 9943- 11/29/2001
Page 3 of 5
This fall, nearly 100 employees contributed a total of $5,191, some of
which was dedicated to the Westonka District 277 Foundation and/or
WeCan.
According to Shirley Hills Principal Rich Nicoli, who chaired the
district fund drive, "This is a wonderful display of care and support
for our community needs. Special thanks to our United Way building reps:
Jackie Davis, Grandview; Joy Grundeen, Shirley Hills; Joe Wacker,
Hilltop; and Missy Zuccaro, Mound Westonka High School."
FOCUS TOPIC
**You Can Help Determine Where to Make Budget Cuts**
In order to stay within available funding, the Westonka School District
will make significant budget cuts for 2002-2003. The exact amount won't
be determined until early in 2002, but tentative plans call for $300,000
to $500,000 in cost reductions.
Task forces, comprising parents, staff, and citizens, will play a major
role in recommending where those cuts will take place. **The School
District strongly desires to have citizen representation on these
committees. Please consider how you can become involved (see contact
info below).**
The School Board has identified topics to explore as possible cost
cutting areas. Task forces will study these areas and make
recommendations to the School Board for cost reductions.
The task force topics include:
(1) reducing student transportation in part, or totally, to the service
area required by state law. The state requires that schools transport
students who live far enough from school that the state would consider
it too far for those children to walk to school. State transportation
funding is based on these "too-far-to-walk" distances. Transportation
within the ring of "safe" walking distances is provided at the school
district's discretion, and therefore, paid out of local levies.
(2) developing in-district alternative programs for students in grades
5-9, to save tuition paid when students attend programs outside of our
school district.
(3) re-examining the school calendar to consider cost savings,
including considering a four-day school week, an energy break in
mid-winter, and year-round school.
(4) examining our delivery of primary instruction, including all-day
- 9944- 11/29/2001
Page 4 of 5
kindergarten and reorganizing grade levels in the primary grades, to
better balance class size. All-day kindergarten eliminates the cost of
mid-day student transportation. Balancing class size provides the
smallest number of children in each class, within available teaching
positions. For example, kindergarten classes currently have one class of
14 students at Hilltop and one class of 24 students at Shirley Hills. If
all eight kindergarten classes were together in the same building,
classes could more predictably be at the "average," which is currently
19 students.
(5) examining content and delivery of instruction K-12, keeping
textbooks longer before replacing them, putting staff development
temporarily on hold, and reviewing all course offerings to avoid
duplication while continuing to cover the basics and offer as wide a
variety of electives as possible.
We welcome parent and citizen involvement in these task forces. For

To All Persons on the Attached Distribution List
Re: Western Area Fire Training Academy
Dear Member of WAFTA:
This firm represents the Westem Area Fire Training Academy ("WAFTA"). I am writing
this letter to update the membership on the status of the cleanup efforts of the fire-fighting
training site owned by WAFTA in St. Bonifacius.
On May 30, 2001, WAFTA enrolled in the Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC)
program which is administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). On
November 20, 2001, the WAFTA Executive Committee voted to have Christopher Thompson
with Geomatrix Consultants prepare a work plan of the site. The work plan will describe the
testing and analysis that needs to be completed to determine the extent of the contamination on
the site. The work plan will be submitted to the MPCA for review and approval once it is
completed.
Each member of WAFTA currently pays dues of $1,240.00 per year. The annual dues
have covered all expenses incurred by WAFTA up to this point and should cover the expenses
incurred from preparing the work plan. However, the anticipated expenses to implement the
work plan and ultimately the cleanup of the site are substantial and will exceed the amount of
money generated by the dues. The executive board will forward all estimates of these
anticipated expenses to each member as they become available. This should allow each member
to prepare for the anticipated expense of implementing the work plan and cleanup of the site.
It appears that WAFTA, Xcel Energy, Minnegasco and the Corp of Engineers all have
some responsibility concerning the condition of the site. After the work plan has been
implemented we will have a better understanding regarding each parties liability. We are
optimistic that WAFTA and the Corp of Engineers will be able to reach a cost sharing agreement
for these anticipated expenses. Unfortunately, we have not made any progress at this point and
time with Minnegasco or Xcel Energy concerning a cost sharing agreement. We will continue to
try and obtain an agreement that equitably distributes all associated costs with the responsible
parties.

Wine With Dinner: The Effects of Grocery Store
Wine Sales On Municipal Liquor Operations
Cynthia Allen MacLeod
Backuround
I-IF 1205 would change existing state law
to allow wine sales at grocery stores,
although it would not include the sale of
strong beer, liquor, and fortified wine
(wine that contains 15.5% or more
alcohol per volume). Currently, 33 states
allow the sale of wine in supermarkets.
The Minnesota Grocers Association
(MGA) is backing the current bill, citing
consumer convenience as the primary
reason for its support. Groups opposing
the bill cite reasons such as increased
youth access to alcohol, loss of local
control of alcohol regulation, loss of
revenue from wine sales, increased
alcohol availability and consumption,
particularly to minors, and decreased
public safety.
Municipal Liquor Operations
According to the Minnesota Office
of the State Auditor (1997),
municipalities were originally authorized
to own and operate liquor stores as a
means of controlling alcohol. However,
another benefit of municipal liquor
operations is that they also provide
convenience for residents of small
communities that might be unable to
attract a privately-mn store. In addition,
municipal liquor stores often provide
supplementary revenues for public
services.
Alcohol Control Policies
Although all municipal liquor
stores must adhere to state law, many
cities issue stricter policies for the
regulation and control of the sale of
alcoholic beverages. For example,
municipal liquor stores do not employ
anyone under the age of 21, although
dictates a minimum age of 18
serve alcohol.
In support of HF 1205, Minnesota
grocers propose a "10-point Code of
Conduct" that extends beyond state law
in regulating the responsible sale of
alcohol. A closer examination of this
Code, however, indicates that grocery
stores will essentially follow state law,
and that proposed policies extending
beyond state law are not overly stringent.
Availability of Alcohol
Permitting wine sales in
metropolitan area grocery stores would
increase the availability of alcohol as
there would be more licenses issued, an
increase in the number of physical
locations selling alcohol, and an increase
in social availability (i.e., obtaining
alcohol from friends, parents, and so
forth) of alcohol due to the decrease in
control over the sale of alcoholic
beverages.
According to Gmenewald and
coworkers (cited in Gruenewald &
Millar & Treno, 1993), alcohol sales are
lower when there are fewer liquor outlets
in ratio to people. The availability of
alcohol can be modified by state-level
public policy, such as regulating
minimum drinking ages, alcoholic
beverage prices, the numbers and types
of outlets that are licensed to sell
alcohol, advertising restrictions, and
hours and days of sale (Gmenewald &
Millar & Treno, 1993).
A ten year study (1983-1993) of
alcohol sales in New Zealand grocery
stores (Wagenaar & Langley, 1995)
indicated a 17% increase in wine sales
due to the introduction of wine into
grocery stores in 1990. Sales of distilled
spirits, beer, and fortified wine did not
increase, however. Wagenaar and
Langley (1995) concluded that increased
sales and consumption can be associated
with the expansion in retail availability
of wine.
State Wine Sales
According to the Minnesota
Department of Revenue (cited in
Hanners, 2001), 7.9 million gallons of
wine were sold in Minnesota during
2000, and Minnesotans spend
approximately $270 million on wine
each year (Lloyd, 2001).
"During 1997, Minnesota's
municipal liquor establishments reported
a fourth consecutive year of record sales
totaling $181.2 million. Total sales in
1997 were up $6.8 million, or 3.9
pement, from net income reported in
1996" (Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor, 1997, p.2). According to
Kaspszak (cited in Hanners, 2001), the
21 cities comprising the municipal liquor
operations in the Twin Cities
metropolitan area made a combined total
of nearly $5.6 million in profit in 1998.
Impact on Local Government
According to Grausam (personal
interview, Director of Edina Liquor
Operations, March 15, 2001), there is
quite a bit of money in the sale of
regular wines such as Gallo, Glen Ellen,
and Kendall Jackson. Although there is
certainly a profit in the higher end wines,
to stay in business liquor stores need the
regular wine sales. Unfortunately for
liquor stores, if HF 1205 passes, grocery
stores will more than likely concentrate
on the regular wine business.
Grocery stores, Hanners (2001)
maintains, are eager to include wine
sales in their inventory due to its high
profit margin, which top 20 percent for
wine. Typical grocery store margins for
goods they currently sell are 2 percent or
less.
Impact on State Government
According to the U.S. Bureau of
the Census 1995 (cited in Kenkal &
Manny, 1996), alcohol taxes account for
less than one percent of total revenues
collected.
Increasing the availability, and thus
the consumption, of alcoholic beverages
in the state of Minnesota would not seem
(Continued on Page 7)
MUNICIPAL LIQUOR STORES 4
-9952-
MUNICIPAL EFFECTS
(Continued from Page 4)
to generate a lot of additional income
for the state, especially when the added
costs of health, increased crime,
increased motor vehicle accidents, and
increased access for minors is taken into
consideration. Studies by Jewell and
Brown (1995) suggest that policies
directed at "restricting the number of
alcohol vendors may also be an
effective policy tool in the reduction of
drinking and driving. This tool could
possibly be utilized as a relatively low
resource cost since alcohol regulatory
agencies already exist in all states" (p.
764). It would make fiscal sense for the
state to limit the number of alcohol
vendors.
Public Safety_
Research shows a relationship
between the availability of alcohol
within local communities and the
incidence and prevalence of alcohol-
related problems, particularly violence
and driving while intoxicated
(Gruenewald & Millar & Roeper,
1996).
Convenience
The argument of the Minnesota
Grocers Association is that the sale of
wine in grocery stores is one of
convenience for consumers.
"Convenience is a word I hear in the
argument for wine in grocery stores,"
(Lakeville) Police Chief Dave Martens
said (cited in Lloyd, 2001). "This is
one situation in which I don't think
things need to be more convenient,
especially with the working relationship
between the police and the municipal
liquor retailers in this community."
Because the sale of wine would be
limited to grocery stores of over 10,000
square feet, many communities Without
large grocery stores would not be
included, and thus the convenience
factor is somewhat of a moot point. In
addition, those customers who prefer to
shop at Mercados, Asian Markets and
"mom and pop" stores would not
benefit from this proposal (Omdorf,
2001).
On March 29, 2001, the
Minnesota Grocers Association dropped
I-IF 1205, stating that they were a few
votes short in the House Commerce
Committee, and preferring to wait until
the next legislative session rather than
risking an on-the-record defeat
(deFiebre, 200lb). According to
Representative Barbara Sykora (R-
Excelsior), "this bill is not going to go
away...like good wine, Wine with
Dinner will only get better with age"
(http://www. winewithdinnencom).
Municipal liquor operations are
planning to utilize the knowledge
gained in this year's fight against the
passage of I-IF 1205 to unite with retail
liquor establishments and personally
communicate with legislatures rather
than rely solely on lobbyists to handle
the battle for them. Visnovec (personal
interview, Director of Lakeville Liquor
Operations, April 12, 2001) feels that
relying exclusively on the Minnesota
Municipal Beverage Association and the
Minnesota Licensed Beverage
Association's lobbying efforts may not
be sufficient because I-IF 1205
represents a relatively important issue.
Therefore, Visnovec believes that it is
important for municipal and retail liquor
operations to become more involved
next year by contacting state
representatives and informing them how
the passage of I-IF 1205 would affect
business as well as community safety.
On February 27, 2001, legislation
was introduced at the 82nd Minnesota
Legislative Session (2001-2002)
proposing the authorization of off-sale
wine licenses for grocery stores. The
House bill number is HF 1205, and is
sponsored by Representative Barbara
Sykora (R-Excelsior). The
corresponding Senate bill number is SF
1107, and is sponsored by Senator .
Linda Scheid (DFL-Brooklyn Park).
(For the purpose of this paper, the two
bills proposing wine sales in grocery
stores will be referred to as I-IF 1205.)
I-IF 1205 would change existing
state law to allow wine sales at grocery
stores, although it would not include the
sale of strong beer, liquor, and fortified
wine (wine that contains 15.5% or more
alcohol per volume). Currently, 33
states allow the sale of wine in
supermarkets.
Bills supporting the sale of w
in supermarkets have been floated in
1974 and 1987 (Farrell & Kaspszak,
2001), but have not passed in
Minnesota due to a lack of support from
residents.
The Minnesota Grocers
Association (MGA) is backing the
current bill, citing consumer
convenience as the primary reason for
its support. Founded in 1897, the MGA
provides a full-time lobbyist, monitors
the activities of state agencies, and runs
a grassr°ots program called MGA
Legislative NetWORKS.
One of the primary groups
organizing the fight against the bill's
passage is called SMART, an acronym
denoting: Supporting Minnesota's
Alcohol Retailing Tradition. SMART
consists of members of the Minnesota
Municipal Beverage Association
(MMBA) and the Minnesota Licensed
Beverage Association (MLBA), who
work with state and local officials
promoting responsible alcohol
consumption, limiting youth access
alcohol and protecting Minnesotans
against the effects of alcohol abuse.
The bill is also opposed by a
variety of government, private
enterprise, and nonprofit organizations
(http://www.minnesotasmart.com),
including (but not limited to):
· Mothers Against Drunk Driving
· Community Prevention Coalition
· Minnesota Police Chiefs Association
· League of Minnesota Cities

Groups opposing the bill cite

consumption, and decreased public
safety.
On March 23, 2001, the House
Commerce, Jobs and Economic
Development Liquor Subcommittee
passed the bill 5-2, and was the first
legislative panel to give the legislation
a hearing (Brunswick, 2001). The bill
will proceed to the House Commerce
Committee.
.The scope of this paper includes a
history of municipal liquor operations,
analysis of the approaches used by
governments to kill the passage of
H1= 1205 and the impact the passage of
this bill would have on both state and
local governments. Methodology
included a literature review comprised
of journal articles, internet references,
testimonies, and personal interviews.
Municipal Liquor Operation Control
Meastlre$
Municipal liquor operations
primarily fear the loss of control over
liquor sales in their community as a
result of the passage of I-IF 1205. The
City of Lakeville is clearly more
committed to control of liquor sales
than to profits as evidenced by its
mission statement:
The Lakeville Municipal Liquor
,res exist to control the sale and
sumption of alcoholic beverages.
While our municipal operations
generally produce a profit, they are
authorized only as an effective means
of control. No matter how profitable,
our municipal operations are ju, tified
only if we encourage moderation and
consistently observe and enforce all
regulations contained in liquor laws,
including those related to hours of
operations, sales to minors, intoxicated
person, gambling on the premise, and
sale for the purpose of resale.
Although all municipal liquor
stores adhere to state law, many cities
issue stricter policies for the regulation
and control of the sale of alcoholic
beverages. Some of these measures
include (and they vary between stores):
· Open for operation only during
state-mandated liquor sale hours;
· No one under the age of 21 may
enter the store for any reason
unless accompanied by a parent
or legal guardian;
· High customer-employee ratio;
· Doors to storerooms are locked;
· No employees under the age of 21;
· Monitor parking lot for minors;
· Employees leave store in a group
to prevent employee theft; and
· Security cameras and mirrors are
located throughout the store.
State Liquor Control Measure~
The State of Minnesota is
similarly involved in placing additional
regulation on alcohol. During 2001,
four bills in the 82nd Legislative
session attempt t° place stricter
controls on alcohol: (1) HF 351,
establishing a felony level offense for
driving impaired; (2) HF 51, lowering
from. 10 to .08 the per se alcohol
concentration level for drivers; (3) HF
1801, imposing a "nickel-a-drink" tax
on alcoholic beverages, providing for a
deposit of revenues for chemical
dependency aftercare; (4) HF 58, keg
registration
(http://www. house.leg.state.mn.us/perl/
billnum.pl).
In addition, the Minnesota
Legislature passed two bills in 2000
that punish adults providing alcohol to
minors. "The civil cause of action, or
the ZAP bill (M.S. 340A.90)...gives
injured parties the right to sue the adult
provider to recover damages...Kevin's
Law, or the Brockway bill (M.S.

340A.701), increases criminal
penalties...to a felony in certain cases
where an adult provides alcohol to
minors" (Winters, 2001).
State Senator Anthony Kinkel
issued a Minnesota State Senate Press
Release on January 24, 2001 stating his
opposition to HF 1205. "Grocers would
do their best to prevent liquor from
being sold to underage customers...but
grocery stores are open to customers of
all ages...liquor stores have better
protection." Kinkel also noted that it
seemed hypocritical to pass laws that
will increase alcohol consumption while
at the same time passing .08 laws (HF
51). "The wine-in-grocery-store
proposal is one more example of an
idea driven by special interests, not the
public interest," concluded Kinkel.
Grocer "10-Point Code of Conduct"
Minnesota grocers agree with its
opponents that alcohol sales should be
monitored, and thus created and support
a zero-tolerance policy on underage
sales (Minnesota Grocers Association),
proposing a "10-Point Code of
Conduct" that extends beyond state law
in regulating the responsible sale of
alcohol. However, a close look at the
"10-Point Code of Conduct"
demonstrates that the code does not
actually extend too far beyond state law.
The ten points are:
i. "Comply with all laws
2. Post age restrictions
3. Guarantee all employees who sell
wine are at lea'st 18
4. Card everyone under 30
5. Conduct annual training
6. Require employee training before
wine is sold
Z Welcome law enforcement
8. Conduct additional compliance
checks '
9. Post information and warnings
10. Enforce strict consequences"
( www. winewithdinner, corn)
Municipal and retail liquor
operations also adhere to conduct code
numbers 1-4, 6, and 7; in part. because
many of those codes 'already exist in the
form of Minnesota state law. Conduct
code number three, for example, ·
guaranteeing that all employees who
sell wine at grocery stores are at least
~ 18 years of age, is derived from
Minnesota Statute 340.412 sudb. 10,
which states that no one under 18 can
serve alcohol in the state of Minnesota
(www.revisor. leg.state.mn.us/stats/340).
When reading conduct code number
seven, welcoming law enforcement, it is
important to consider the fact that there
are currently approximately 11,000
retail establishments in Minnesota, and
only three agents to conduct compliance'
inspections (Hanners, 2001).
Conducting annual training, conduct
code number five, is usually provided
by all companies, no matter the field.
Conduct code number eight, additional
compliance checks - the compliance
checks will be conducted internally.
Most liquor establishments post
information and warnings (conduct code
number nine) advising pregnant Women
not to drink, and everyone not to drive
while intoxicated. And, last, conduct
code number ten states that grocery
stores pledge to adopt a written store
policy, in addition to being subject to
strict state and local penalties for failure
to deny wine sales to persons under the
age of 21 that:
· Outlines the company's disciplinary
sections;
· Includes a summary of relevant state
and local laws;
· States that those selling wine must
attend yearly training;
· Requires employee's and supervisors
responsible for selling wine to sign
and date the company policy; and
· Subjects employees who violate state
law to the store's disciplinary policies
in addition to any state or local
penalties (Minnesota Grocers
Association)
A closer examination of the "10-
Point Code of Conduct" indicates that
grocery stores plan to follow state law,
and that their policies extending beyond
state law are not overly stringent.
Control Issue~
An issue of concern to
municipalities and the League of
Minnesota Cities is the discretionary
language of HF 1205, which states that
if grocers meet certain criteria, they are
entitled to an off-sale liquor license,
thus removing a lot of local control
from the cities. In addition, the Leagu
is concerned because the licensing
criteria are not stringent, and include:
(1) supermarkets establishing and
implementing training sessions on the
practice of selling off-sale wine; (2)
supermarkets establishing and
implementing a theft prevention
program; and (3) supermarkets posting
notices stating that they will not sell
alcoholic beverages to those persons
under the age of 21 and that they will
ask for proof of age. Steams (personal
interview, Lobbyist, League of
Minnesota Cities, April 12, 2001) noted
that these criteria are not.strict and are
often beneficial to supermarkets.
Steams' understanding is that, if the bill
had continued to the full House
Commeme Committee, there would
have been several amendments,
including one to reinstate local control
over off-sale licenses.
According to an audio testimonial,
Sid Applebaum has spent 60 years in
the grocery store business, first as
President of Applebaums, and then as
founder and President of Rainbow
Foods (1982-1996). Whenever
Applebaum has been approached by the
Minnesota Grocers Association over
the past thirty years to support the sale
of wine in supermarkets, Applebaum
has been against it - primarily due to
the easy access to alcohol wine sales
would give an underage person. Based
on his years of experience, Applebaum
does not believe that supermarket
managers are capable of policing wine
sales, especially in larger stores with
eight to ten check-out lanes. In
addition, because check-out personnel
can begin work at the age of 16,
Applebaum feels that there would be
too much peer pressure for minors to
sometimes sell wine to underage
friends when management was not
around. Applebaum also raised the
issue of the lack of state personnel to
handle compliance checks for all of the
additional outlets involved if I-IF 1205
were passed. Applebaum concluded
(Continued on Page 11)
MUNICIPAL LIQUOR STORES 10 - 9955-
with the statement that, in all his years
the grocery business, he has never
a customer approach him and ask
vhy his store does not sell wine.
In a testimonial on the SMART
website, Brooklyn Center Police Chief
Joel Downer expressed concern on the
security of 'wine displays after hours
approved for sale, pointing out that 3.2
beer is not secured
(http://www. minnesotasmart.com).
According to Farrell and
Kaspszak (2001), 3.2 beer outlets are
the leading violators of compliance
checks. In addition, "last year, two of
the major grocery companies
promoting this legislation were fined
$272,000 for 328 violations of child
labor laws" (Farrell & Kaspszak,2001).
Increased Alcohol Availability
"Increasing the availability of
means: (1) increasing the
number of physical locations where
alcohol is present; (2) increasing the
number of licenses for selling alcohol;
(3) or increasing the social availability
of alcohol (e.g., parents, friends, and so
on)," Britt (2001) as cited on the
Minnesota SMART website.
Permitting wine sales in
metropolitan area grocery stores would
increase the availability of alcohol as
there would be more licenses issued, an
increase in the number of physical
locations selling alcohol, and an
increase in social availability (i.e.,
obtaining alcohol from friends, parents,
and so forth) of alcohol due to the
decrease in control over the sale of
alcoholic beverages.
Terry Maglich, President of
MGM Liquors, is opposed to the
passage of I-IF 1205. According to an
audio testimonial
(www.minnesotasmart.com/testimonial
), Maglich recognizes that in the
quor industry, as a closely regulated,
Iow margin industry, there are
numerous laws and rules. Maglich
feels that integrating an intoxicating
beverage into an establishment that is
open and accessible 24 hours per day
would erode the closely regulated
nature of the business. Further, wine
displays may be scattered around the
store, with grocers marketing it next to
cheese or bread, thereby decreasing the
possibility of monitoring theft. In
addition, Maglich states that it is unfair
that a liquor store is closed for a period
of time when it fails a compliance
check, but that a grocery store would
only be willing to close their wine
section(s).
A study conducted from 1968-
1991 by Wagenaar and Holder (1995)
showed significant increases in wine
sales after privatization of the wine
industry in five states: Alabama (42%
increase), Maine (137% increase),
Montana (75% increase), New
Hampshire (15% increase), and Idaho
(150% increase). Wagenaar and
Holder (1995) concluded that state
liquor operations have provided
effective controls of the consumption
of alcohol.
Increase Alcohol Consumption
According to Gruenewald and
Millar and Treno (1993), studies that
have met "accepted standards of
~ methodological rigor" (p.42) suggest
that increases in the availability of
alcohol are related to increases in
alcohol consumption and "correlated
with a broad spectrum of alcohol-
related problems, such as cirrhosis
mortality and traffic fatalities" (p.42).
The availability of alcohol can be
modified by state-level public policy,
such as regulating minimum drinking
ages, alcoholic beverage prices, the
numbers and types of outlets that are

licensed to sell alcohol, advertising
restrictions, and hours and days of sale
'(Gruenewald & Millar & Treno, 1993).
"Current research suggests that
different degrees in physical availability
are directly related .to differences in
rates of alcohol consumption and
related problems, supporting the view
that the control of physical availability
could benefit communities (Gruenewald
& Millar & Treno, 1993). A study in
Los Angeles of 72 cities showed that
alcohol-related problems are
geographically connected to the
availability of alcohol (Scribner &
MacKinnon & Dwyer, 1994).
According to Gmenewatd and
coworkers (cited in Gruenewald & '
Millar & Treno, 1993), alcohol sales are
lower when there are fewer liquor
outlets in ratio to people.
Consumers with lower incomes,
according to Treno et al. (cited in
Gmenewald & Millar & Treno, 1993),
have less flexibility in their choice of
both drinking locations and drinking
quality, and are less likely to drink at
on-premise (e.g., bars, restaurants, or
sporting events) than are wealthier
consumers. In addition, consumers who
drink more frequently, regardless of
income, are more likely to purchase
alcohol at off-premise locations (e.g.,
liquor stores and supermarkets).
A ten year study (1983-1993) of
alcohol sales in New Zealand grocery
stores (Wagenaar & Langley, 1995)
indicated a 17% increase in wine sales
due to the introduction of wine into
grocery stores in 1990. Sales of
distilled spirits, beer, and fortified wine
did not increase, however, only table
wine. Wagenaar and Langley (1995)
concluded that increased sales and
consumption can be associated with the
expansion in retail availability in wine.
Smith (1988) cited a study by
Hammond (1975) where the "first year
after grocery stores in Virginia,
Washington, Idaho, and Maine were
licensed to sell wine, consumption of
wine increased 120%, 130%, 174%, and
305% respectively" (p. 650).
According to Kuhlman (personal
interview, Operations Manager,
Alcoholic Beverages Division, State of
Iowa, April 30, 2001), however, the
State of Iowa has not seen an increase
in liquor consumption in either adults or
teens since the closing of its 220 state
operated liquor stores, although no
studies were cited to support this
assertion.
General Background
In 1999, superpremium wines
(those costing more than $7) made up
23% of unit volume of 52% of dollar
sales (data from Gomberg-Fredrikson
Associates, cited in Summerour, 2001).
By 2010, the total market of legal age
consumers will increase to
approximately 212 million, especially in
the 21-27 year olds, the industry's
largest potential customer base, and
maturing baby boomers, according to
data from Miller Brewing Co. (cited in
Summerour, 2001). "The over 40 age
group is really the prime demographic
for buying superpremium wine.
Analysts are projecting continued
double-digit growth in the
superpremium category for the next ten
years," stated Donna Duncanson, vice
president of marketing, Stimson Lane
Vineyard and Estates, cited in
Summerour, 2201, p. 43).
In addition, desirous of a piece of
an ever-increasing market, grocery
stores, Hanners (2001) maintains, are
eager to include wine sales in their
inventory due to its high profit margins,
which top 20% for wine. Typical
grocery store margins are 2% or less.
According to the Minnesota
Department of Revenue (cited in
Hanners, 2001), 7.9 million gallons of
wine were sold in Minnesota during
2000, and Minnesotans spend
approximately $270 million on wine
each year (Lloyd, 2001).
"During 1997, Minnesota's
municipal liquor establishments
reported a fourth consecutive year of
record sales totaling $181.2 million.
Total sales in 1997 were up $6.8
million, or 3.9% from net income
reported in 1996" (Minnesota Office of
the State Auditor, 1997. p. 2).
According to Kaspszak (cited in
Hanners, 2001), the 21 cities
comprising the municipal liquor
operations in the Twin Cities
metropolitan area made a combined
total of nearly $5.6 million in profit in
1998.
Economic Impact
Impact on Local Government.
According to Grausam (personal
interview, Director of Edina Liquor
Operations, March 15, 2001), the City
of Edina conducted an audit
approximately eight years previously
that indicated that the City makes
considerably more money from its
municipal liquor operation than it
would in tax revenue from retail liquor
stores.
During the years 1998-2000, the
City of Edina's Three municipal liquor
stores had the highest net return in the
state.
The City of Edina had an increase
of 18% in net income between 1999
and 2000, which translates into an
additional $100,000 for th6 city's
coffers. Due to the success of its three
municipal liquor stores, the City of
Edina is able to keep property taxes
down by 4%. That is, without the
income from the liquor stores flowing
into the city's general fund, residential
property taxes would be approximately
4% higher in order to help pay for
amenities such as the Edina Art Center,
city parks, and road maintenance.
According to Visnovec (personal
interview, Director of Lakeville Liquor
Operations, March 19, 2001), the City
of Lakeville currently operates three
municipal liquor stores, and had 8.6
million dollars in gross sales in 2000,
1.6 million dollars was wine sales.
Lakeville has the state's third largest
municip,al liquor operation in terms of
net income. During the past ten years,
the City of Lakeville has provided
approximately four and one half
million dollars to the city to pay for
things such as two police station
expansions, a fire station, land
acquisition for Heritage Library, and a
second sheet of ice at Ames Ice Arena
(B. Visnovec, personal interview,
March 19, 2001); Lloyd, 2001).

MUNICIPAL EFFECTS
(Continued from Page 12)
Without funds from the municipal
uor stores, those issues would have
to referendum and, if approved by
public, the City of Lakeville would
have had to take out loans, pay interest
rates, and generally spend more time
completing the projects. In addition,
Visnovec calculates that a resident
would have to purchase at least ten
cases of wine (240 bottles) per year to
even out the property tax increase that
would occur if the city's municipal
liquor stores did not exist.
For the City of Eden Prairie, the
projected sales for 2000 were
approximately $7 million (Johnson,
2000), and since 1998 more than $1
million from liquor sales has been
transferred into the City's Capitol
Improvement Plan to fund the police
department, parks and recreation, and
public works projects. According to
Don Uram, Director of Community
Development and Financial Services
(cited in Johnson,2000), 40% of liquor
sales in the City of Eden Prairie are
from wine. "If the city experienced a
Qo0nreduction in wine sales, which is
a
servative estimate (if grocery stores
are permitted to sell wine), two of the
three stores would become
unprofitable...(and) city officials would
have to ask if the stores should remain
in business" (Johnson, 2000).
According to Grausam (personnel
interview, Director of Edina Liquor
Operations, March 15, 2001), there is
quite a bit of money in the sale of
regular wines such as Gallo, Glen
Ellen, and Kendall Jackson. "Although
there is certainly a profit in the higher
end wines, to stay in business liquor
stores need the regular wine sales.
Unfortunately for liquor stores, if I-IF
1205 passes, grocery stores will more
than likely concentrate on the regular
wine business" (personal interview,
Director of Edina Liquor Operations,
March 15, 2001).
Local governments would collect
licensing fees from those grocery stores
that apply for an off-sale wine license,
those fees would range from $I00
$1,000 per license (depending on the
size and class of the city). However,
the "fee may not exceed the amount
reasonably necessary to recover the
issuing city's costs of issuing and
inspecting and other directly related
costs of enforcement, including youth
access compliance checks" (Minnesota.
Statutes H.E 1205, 2.20-3.33). In
other words, cities would not make a
profit on off-sale wine licenses issued
to grocery stores.
Paul Kaspszak (cited in Harmers,
2001), Executive Director of the
Minnesota Municipal Beverage
Association, states that it is "naive to
think that...(grocery store liquor sales)
will stay wine-only and...(grocery store
liquor sales) will stay in the metro area.
What's the difference between people
here and the doctors in Rochester, or
the people up in Duluth.'? And what's
the difference between wine with
dinner and beer with a burger? Once
the door is open, it's open."
According to both Grausam
(personal interview, Director of Edina
Liquor Operations, March 15, 2001)
and Visnovec (personal interview,
Director of Lakeville Liquor
· Operations, March 19, 2001), beer
sales in grocery stores would most
likely put many municipal and retail
liquor stores out of business.
Impact on state government.
In 1994, state and some local
governments (nationwide) collected a
total of $3.7 billion from excise taxes
on alcoholic beverages, in addition to
$4.7 billion from general sales taxes
(Kenkal & Manny, 1996). To put
things into perspective, however,
according to the U.S. Bureau of the
Census 1995 (cited in Kenkal &
Manny, 1996), alcohol taxes account
for less than one percent of total
revenues collected, while revenues
from tobacco taxes were $6.2 billion
and from State lotteries $10 billion in
1994; almost double and triple,
respectively, the revenues collected
from alcohol during the same year.
Increasing the availability, and thus the
consumption, of alcoholic beverages in
the state of Minnesota would not seem
to generate a significant amount of
additional income for the state,
especially when the added costs of ·
health, increased crime, increased
motor vehicle accidents, and increased
access for minors are considered.
HF 1205 significantly increases
the number of off-sale alcohol vendors
permitted to sell a controlled substance,
and this increase puts "a large
economic and personnel burden on
regulatory bodies" (MMBA, 2001). As
previously mentioned, there are
approximately 11,000 retail liquor
establishments in Minnesota and only
three agents available to conduct
compliance inspection (Hanners,
2001). Marlene Kjelsberg, supervisor
of the Department of Public Safety's
Division of Alcohol and Gambling
Enforcement said that "her three agents
are overloaded as it is" (Hanners,
2001).
According to Kuhlman (personal
interview, Operations Manager,
Alcoholic Beverages Division, State of
Iowa, April 30, 2001), however, the
State of Iowa actually made more
money after closing its 220 licensed
liquor stores. When the State operated
its liquor stores, it utilized a 75% retail
mark-up; now, however, Iowa
wholesales hard liquor to private liquor
stores, utilizing a 50% wholesale
mark-up to retain its profit margin.
According to Kaspszak (personal
interview, Executive Director of the
MMBA, March 19, 2001), cities first
decided to enter the liquor business
after realizing that the best way to
control alcohol was to own and operate
liquor establishments. Many cities,
however, discovered that their liquor
stores also provided much needed
revenue, especially in light of
decreasing state aid, and, as a result,
lowered property taxes for its residents.
Because control of alcohol is the
primary reason for their existence,
municipal liquor stores do not
necessarily market themselves, says
Kaspszak. The stores that do advertise
do so as a way to attract attention to
their existence rather than as a tool to
promote increased consumption of
alcohol. :..

Research has consistently
established a link between alcohol
advertising and higher rates of drinking
among youth in the United State and
abroad, suggest Adlaf and Kohn, 1989;
Atkin et al., 1983, 1984, 1988;
Connonlly et al., 1994; Grube and
Wallack, 1994; Grube et al., 1996 (cited
in Snyder & Milici & Mitchell &
Proctor, 1997).
"Since 1994, many cities have
proposed or enacted restrictions against
advertising alcohol products via
billboards, store windows and public
transportation. The reasons given for
enacting bans include: (1) protection of
children against a medium to which
parents cannot personally control
access; (2) prior evidence that urban
minority populations are targeted
through selective placement of alcohol
and tobacco ads; (3) and instances of
noncompliance with a 1990 voluntary
industry ban on billboard advertising
within 500 feet of schools and
churches" (Snyder, et al, 1997, p. 898).
While some municipal liquor
stores do advertise their price lists, and
some retail liquor stores actively
advertise, there is not the same
exposure to minors from alcohol
advertising as exists at a grocery store
where there are no age restrictions for
entry into the store, and where liquor
displays are similar in appearance, and
as appealing, as snack displays.
While at the same time limiting
advertising and thus exposure to the
wares of municipal liquor stores, cities,
by owning and operating municipal
liquor stores, can control the number of
liquor stores within city limits. For
example, the cities of Eden Prairie,
Edina, and Lakeville each operate three
liquor stores, while the City of
Bloomington has approximately 40
privately owned liquor stores within its
city limits.

Research shows a relationship
between the availability of alcohol
within local communities and the
incidence and prevalence of alcohol-
related problems, particularly violence
and driving while intoxicated
(Gruenewald & Millar & Roeper,
1996).
"Drinking and driving is the
leading cause of motor vehicle
accidents in the United States...in
addition, estimates suggest that alcohol-
related motor vehicle accidents result in
as many as 300,000 disabling injuries
and $963 million in damaged property
each year" (3ewell & Brown, 1995,
p. 759).
Jewell and Brown (1995) conclude
that an effective policy tool in reducing
drinking and driving is to restrict
alcohol availability, such as permitting

fewer licensed alcohol vendors. "This
policy tool could possibly be utilized at
low resource cost since
regulatory agencies already
exist in all states" (p. 764).
A 1993 study by Cook and Moore
(cited in Kenkel & Manning, 1996)
showed a "strong positive relationship
between alcohol consumption and the
rates of rape, assault, and robbery"
(p.232). According to the U.S.
Department of Justice (cited in
Winters, 2001) alcohol is a "factor in
nearly 40% of violent crime, and is
more closely associated with crimes of
violence than any other drag" (p. 1).
The City of Lakeville provides an
example of a municipal liquor
operation extending itself to secure the
public's safety. According to an audio
testimonial, Brenda Visnovec
(http://www.minneostasmart.com/testi
monials), Director of Liquor Store
Operations for the City of Lakeville,
directs all Lakeville municipal liquor
stores to complete Incident Reports
whenever a customer attempts to
croChase alcohol with false
ntification, attempts to purchase
hol while in an intoxicated state,
and/or purchases a large quantity of
liquor. These Incident Reports are then
circulated to the other Lakeville liquor
stores as well as to the Lakeville Police
Department. "It is simply another way
of communicating and staying on top
of things," stated Visnovec.
The argument of the Minnesota
Grocers Association is that the sale of
wine in grocery stores is one of
convenience for consumers. However,
because the sale of wine would be
limited to grocery stores of over 10,000.
square feet, many communities without
large grocery stores would not be
included, and thus the convenience
factor is somewhat of a moot point. In
addition, those customers who prefer to
shop at Mercados, Asian Markets and
nOm and pop" stores would not
efit from this proposal (Orndorf,
2001).
In most cities, liquor Stores are
located next door or within one block
of grocery stores. "That's convenient
enough," stated Plymouth City Council
Member Judy Johnson (cited in
Bmnswick, 2001). Eden Prairie
Council Member Nancy Tyra-Lukens
commented that she used to live in a
state that permitted grocery store wine
sales and that, as a parent, she
appreciates Minnesota's restrictions on
alcohol sales (Johnson, 2000).
"Convenience is a word I hear in
the argument for wine in grocery
stores," (Lakeville) Police Chief Dave
Martens said (cited in Lloyd, 2001).
"This is one situation in which I don't
think things need to be more
convenient, especially with the
working relationship between the
police and the municipal liquor
retailers in this community,"
Other opponents of I-IF 1205
include Mother's Against Drank
Driving's Youth in Action Program,
commenting that permitting wine in
grocery stores would give minors More
locations and more opportunities to
obtain alcohol (Gougher, 2001),
making wine sales in grocery stores
more convenient for the wrong group
of people.
As of April 13, 2001, according to
Grausam (personal interview, April 13,
2001), the Cub Foods in Edina does
not have a license to sell 3.2 beer. The
managers do not want the additional
responsibility of monitoring liquor
theft and sale to minors. It remains to
be seen whether Cub Foods Corporate
will force the issue. In addition, some
grocery stores in Austin, Albert Lee,
and Mankato, Minnesota, began to sell
wine coolers, but then pulled them
from their stores due to too many sales
made by minors to minors (S.
Grausam, personal interview, April 13,
2001).
Wine aficionados may not
appreciate the convenience of
purchasing wine in grocery stores,
either. Dr. James Whitliff, a sommelier
(wine expert) and member of the
American Wine Society (cited in
Percival, 1999, p. 5), advises
newcomers to wine to establish a
rapport with the proprietor of a good
wine shop because "the staff at the
wine shop can help you avoid some
expensive mistakes, and the price is
usually about the same as at the
grocery (store)." Whitliff points out
that "the problem with the grocery
store wine sectiOn is that they usually
stand wine upright. The corks can dry
out and you don't know how long the
wine has been there, standing up. In
addition, wine does not like constant
light; wine shops tend to take care of
their wine" (cited in Percival, 1999 p. 5).
on March 29, 2001, the
Minnesota Grocers Association
dropped I-IF 1205, stating that they
were a few votes short in the House
Commerce Committee, and preferring
to wait until the next legislative session
rather than risking an on-the-record
defeat (deFiebre, 200lb). According to
Representative Barbara Sykora (R-
Excelsior), "this bill is not going to go
away...like good wine, Wine with
Dinner will only get better with age"
(http://www. winewithdinner.com).
Municipal liquor operations are
planning to utilize the knowledge
gained in this year's fight against the
passage of HF 1205 to unite with retail
liquor establishments and personally
communicate with legislatures rather
than rely solely on lobbyists to handle
the battle for them. Visnovec (personal
interview, Director of Lakeville Liquor
Operations, April 12, 2001) feels that
relying exclusively on the Minnesota
Municipal Beverage Association and
the Minnesota Licensed Beverage
Association's lobbying efforts may not
be sufficient because HF 1205
represents a relatively important issue.
Visnovec therefore believes that it is
important for municipal and retail
liquor operations to become more
involved next year by contacting state
representatives and informing them
how the passage of HF 1205 would
affect business as well as community
safety.

Association (MGA) mounted an

(cited in Kenkel & Manning, 1996)
showed a "strong positive relationship
between alcohol consumption and the
rates of rape, assault, and robbery"
(p.232). According to the U.S.
Department of Justice (cited in
Winters, 2001) alcohol is a "factor in
nearly 40% of violent crime, and is
more closely associated with crimes of
violence than any other drug" (p. 1).
The City of Lakeville provides an
example of a municipal liquor
operation extending itself to secure the
public's safety. According to an audio
testimonial, Brenda Visnovec
(http://www. minneostasmart.com/testi
monials), Director of Liquor Store
Operations for the City of Lakeville,
directs all Lakeville municipal liquor
stores to complete Incident Reports
whenever a customer attempts to
idUrchase alcohol with false
entification, attempts to purchase
alcohol while in an intoxicated state,
and/or purchases a large quantity of
liquor. These Incident Reports are then
circulated to the other Lakeville liquor
stores as well as to the Lakeville Police
Department. "It is simply another way
of communicating and staying on top
of things," stated Visnovec.
The argument of the Minnesota
Grocers Association is that the sale of
wine in grocery stores is one of
convenience for consumers. However,
because the sale of wine would be
limited to grocery stores of over 10,000
square feet, many communities without
large grocery stores would not be
included, and thus the convenience
factor is somewhat of a moot point. In
addition, those customers who prefer to
shop at Memados, Asian Markets and
"mom and pop" stores would not
benefit from this proposal (Omdorf,
2001).
In most cities, liquor stores are
located next door or within one block
of grocery stores. "That's convenient
enough," stated Plymouth City Council
Member Judy Johnson (cited in
Brunswick, 2001). Eden Prairie
Council Member Nancy Tyra-Lukens
commented that she used to live in a
state that permitted grocery store wine
sales and that, as a parent, she
appreciates Minnesota's restrictions on
alcohol sales (Johnson, 2000).
"Convenience is a word I hear in
the argument for wine in grocery
stores," (Lakeville) Police Chief Dave
Martens said (cited in Lloyd, 2001).
"This is one situation in which I don't
think things need to be. more
convenient, especially with the
working relationship between the
police and the municipal liquor
retailers in this community,"
Other opponents of HF 1205
include Mother's Against Drank
Driving's Youth in Action Program,
commenting that permitting wine in
grocery stores would give minors More
locations and more opportunities to
obtain alcohol (Gougher, 2001),
making wine sales in grocery stores
more convenient for the wrong group
of people.
As of April 13, 2001, according to
Grausam (personal interview, April 13,
2001), the Cub Foods in Edina does
not have a license to sell 3.2 beer. The
managers do not want the additional
responsibility of monitoring liquor
theft and sale to minors. It remains to
be seen whether Cub Foods Corporate
will force the issue. In addition, some
grocery stores in Austin, Albert Lee,
and Mankato, Minnesota, began to sell
wine coolers, but then pulled them
from their stores due to too many sales
made by minors to minors (S.
Grausam, personal interview, April 13,
2001).
Wine aficionados may not
appreciate the convenience of
purchasing wine in grocery stores,
either. Dr. James Whitliff, a sommelier
(wine expert) and member of the
American Wine Society (cited in
Percival, 1999, p. 5), advises
newcomers to wine to establish a
rapport with the proprietor of a good
wine shop because "the staff at the
wine shop can help you avoid some
expensive mistakes, and the price is
usually about the same as at the
grocery (store)." Whitliff points out
that "the problem With the grocery
store wine section is that they usually
stand wine upright. The corks can dry
out and you don't know how long the
wine has been there, standing up. In
addition, wine does not like constant
light; wine shops tend to take care of
their wine" (cited in Percival, 1999 p. 5).
On March 29, 2001, the
Minnesota Grocers Association
dropped HF 1205, stating that they
were a few votes short in the House
Commerce Committee, and preferring
to wait until the next legislative session
rather than risking an on-the-record
defeat (deFiebre, 200lb). According to
Representative Barbara Sykora (R-
Excelsior), "this bill is not going to go
away...like good wine, Wine with
Dinner will only get better with age"
(http://www. winewithdinner, com).
Municipal liquor operations are
planning to utilize the knowledge
gained in this year's fight against the
passage of I-IF 1205 to unite with retail
liquor establishments and personally
communicate with legislatures rather
than rely solely on lobbyists to handle
the battle for them. Visnovec (personal
interview, Director of Lakeville Liquor
Operations, April 12, 2001) feels that
relying exclusively on the.Minnesota
Municipal Beverage Association and
the Minnesota Licensed Beverage
Association's lobbying efforts may not
be sufficient because HF 1205
represents a relatively important issue.
Visnovec therefore believes that it is
important for municipal and retail
liquor operations to become more
involved next year by contacting state
representatives and informing them
how the passage of HF 1205 would
affect business as well as community
safety.
The Minnesota Grocers
Association.(MGA) mounted an
impressive public relations campaign
(Continued on Page 18)
-9964-
MUNICIPAL LIQUOR STORES 17
MUNICIPAL EFFECTS
(Continued from Page 17)
utilizing in-store displays of mail-in
cards, a website, and a toll-free phone
number. The mail-in cards were visible,
accessible, simple, and effective.
In contrast, aside from the
SMART website advertised in
municipal liquor stores and several
newspaper editorials, those opposed to
HF 1205 were not nearly as effective at
gaining consumer support. In fact, I do
not believe consumer support for HF
1205 would have increased as it did
throughout the legislative session had it
not been for MGA's impressive public
relations.
In preparation for next year's
battle, municipal liquor operations
should begin now to educate consumers
and gain support for their position.
Several suggestions I have wguld
include:
· Include information on city websites
regarding municipal liquor operations
and how they benefit residential
property taxes;
· Provide flyers at municipal (and
private) liquor establishments detailing
HF 1205 and how its passage would
affect consumers, the community,
youth access to alcohol, and public
safety;
· Encourage municipal liquor store
managers to contact private liquor
stores and plan together how to best
contact their state representatives
(B. Visnovec, personal interview,
Director of Lakeville Liquor
Operations, April 12, 2001); and
· Cities should consider holding
community forums to educate
residents about the economic and
public safety aspects of allowing wine
sales in grocery stores, and inform
residents how to contact their state
representatives.
· Municipal liquor operations and
the MMBA could perhaps work out
several compromises with the
Minnesota Grocers Association. For
example, municipal liquor operations
and MMBA do not oppose grocery
stores that have adjacent, albeit
separate, liquor stores, such as Byerly's,
Costco, or Sam's Club. Because these
operations are set up with separate
entrances, exits, storerooms, and.
loading docks, managers and
employees are able to exert greater
control, Which is of primary importanc.
to municipalities.
The MMBA (2001) points out that
current off-sale liquor retailers are
statutorily limited to the types of items
they can sell in their stores. For
example, liquor stores are not allowed
under current law to sell beer nuts,
potato chips, or milk. To sell beer nuts,
a liquor store would have to obtain a
grocery license. Grocery stores,
however, are not limited in what they
can sell; adding wine to their inventory
would create a significant profit center
and would not allow current retailers to
compete. "While grocery stores want
to break the liquor stores' monopoly on
wine, they're not willing to give up
their monopoly on food sales"
(Harmers, 2001).
Failure to reach a compromise
will result in another heated battle
between grocery stores and municipal
and retail liquor store operations during
the 83rd (2001-2002) legislative
session.

Kandis Hanson
City Manager
City of Mound
5341 Maywood Rd.
Mound, MN 55364
Dear Kandis:
My name is Anita Shoemaker. I am the Emergency Services Coordinator for Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council (NWHHSC). The NWHHSC serves the 15
Northwest Hennepin County cities. In 1997 this agency was selected to help out the
West suburban cities with their Emergency Services Contract due to the closing of the
West Hennepin planning agency, and we have continued to work with the wonderful
emergency service agencies in your area.
I know that these agencies share information with you; but I thought that you would like
the year 2000 breakdown by city. This is the amount of dollars used specifically for your
citizens.
There are two separate funds that the West Emergency Service Providers use. The
Emergency Service dollars which are Hennepin County taxpayer dollars and the FHPAP
(Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program) funds. The Emergency Services
reports are West specific and the FHPAP reports are both combined areas. Northwest
Hennepin Human Services has the contract for FHPAP dollars designated for all cities in
the West and Northwest suburban area.
As the Emergency Services coordinator, I am constantly looking for more funding for all
my Providers. I say my Providers because we all work as a team to help each other out
with the challenges that face any Social Service agency these days with the high cost of
living, housing, food, utilities and transportation. A meeting is held every month with all
the Providers attending to share their stories and network to help each other with the daily
work of social services. Your Providers work very hard to keep up with huge food
requests, and have had to re-evaluate the need for more case management. Please take
time to thank these great people who help so many of your citizens.
,ely,

Re; Assault of two police officers
The Mound Police responded to 3100 Inverness Lane on a follow-up to an assault on
two young women involving four male suspects. Officers were checking the
residence when they observed an individual known to have warrants attempting to
leave in a vehicle in the driveway. The suspect exited the vehicle upon observing the
police and was pursued on foot into the home where the suspect turned and attacked
the officer. A second officer responding to assist was attacked from behind by
another suspect. Two other suspects attempted to enter the assault by kicking a side
garage door into the officers as they were involved in arrest.
Officers were able to take control of the situation and an 18 year old male was
arrested. Three known suspects fled the scene as additional back up arrived. One
officer sustained a broken hand and both officers suffered assorted contusions.
A search warrant was executed and several weapons and suspected narcotics were
recovered.

Redevelopment District Inspection
EHLER$
& ASSOCIATES INC
The City of Mound has previously established a Redevelopment District related to the
Downtown Mound Visions Plan. Part of the procedure to establish a district includes
conducting inspections of buildings within the district to assess qualification under
Minnesota State Statutes. Those inspections were authorized by the City and completed
in fall of 1999.
A recent opinion by the State Court of Appeals modified the inspection criteria that had
been used for this type of inspection. This opinion is likely to be appealed to the State
Supreme Court. If the Court agrees to hear that appeal it is unlikely that an opinion will
be reached until late 2002.
The City Attorney, the Tax Increment Attorney and the financial consultant recently met
to review the inspections prepared for this Redevelopment District. The general
conclusion from this meeting was that it would be advisable to supplement the original
inspections to specifically address the criteria established by the court ruling.
Preparation of a supplement would reduce the likelihood of any delays in the
redevelopment process.
The supplemental inspection report includes additional efforts to inspect property
unavailable for inspection in the fall of 1999, review of existing inspection on and
analysis of information supporting the need for redevelopment.
The firm that originally conducted the inspections is no longer available for this work.
An RFP has been prepared for this supplemental inspection. Due to time constraints the
City has not yet solicited proposals for this work. It is expected that the work will not
exceed $10,000.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an
inspections services contract of an amount not to exceed $10/O~,l~for supplemental
redevelopment inspection services. ~00
